How strange, why did he think Shao Mingxuan was Gong Yun
He remembered Gong Yun's face vaguely visible behind the bead curtain, which was full of majesty and arrogance. His whole aura was too shocking. At first glance, he would be shocked by his aura. Only when he thought about it again would he vaguely realize that he seemed to have a very good-looking appearance.
Although Shao Mingxuan was very charming, he did not appear to be too aggressive, at least not to the point where Tang Ning would be scared and afraid to approach him.
Tang Ning grabbed the corner of Shao Mingxuan's clothes. Shao Mingxuan's arms were full of strength. He could hold him and run so fast without blushing or getting out of breath. The muscles in his arms were strong, which gave Tang Ning the sense of security he desired most.
No need to squeeze the last bit of your body's strength to escape, no need to run until you are out of breath and still fall behind, no need to be disoriented and lose your way
System, you told me before that NPCs in one copy cannot appear in other copies.
Yes.
Tangning clenched the legs of her glasses tightly in her hands. Would you lie
This time the system answered a little slowly: No.
Tang Ning suddenly realized that this question was not meaningful. He had asked the same question to Mo Yunchu, Gong Jun, Ji Lianyun, and Gu Ming before. The reason their answers were credible was not because they were honest people, but because they cared about him, so they couldn't bear to lie to him when he asked them seriously.
And the system is obviously not a good thing.
Tang Ning took a deep breath and looked at the people running for their lives behind Shao Mingxuan. Lin Yun was indeed a common runner and ran steadily into second place, only one step behind Shao Mingxuan. Behind Lin Yun were several townspeople. The mayor was at the end, only about half a meter away from the nearest Gui Dong!
Oops!
The mayor is an important NPC in this dungeon. He has always insisted on abolishing the ceremony, resisting the pressure from the older generation of townspeople, and maintaining a delicate balance in the town.
If the mayor becomes the mayor, the ceremony will most likely be restored, and no one knows what the town will become in the future!
The half-human, half-ghost Dong pounced on the mayor. Tangning could no longer bear to watch, but the scene he imagined did not happen.
A simple wooden arrow passed by Tang Ning with a sharp sound of breaking through the air. The wooden arrow shot straight into the monster's left eye, and the monster, which was about to pounce on the mayor, let out a wail.
Another wooden arrow flew over and pierced the monster's left eye neatly.
The mayor took advantage of this gap and ran desperately, creating a safe distance between himself and the monster that was still standing.
Tang Ning was stunned. He looked in the direction where the wooden arrow flew from. It was the rooftop of a small building not far away. Jiang Mianmian was half-kneeling on the roof, overlooking the area below. In his hand, he was holding a simple bow and arrow that looked like it was homemade. The previous arrow had just been shot, and the next arrow was already on the string. He squinted one eye, loosened his hand, and the sharp arrow shot into the eye of the next monster with a "whoosh" sound!
"Hurry up and help!" Several men shouted to the people living on both sides of the street, "Get your weapons! Tiezhu and his family have gone crazy!"
After hearing the cries for help, townspeople came out one after another, holding brooms, kitchen knives, chairs and other things in their hands. The timid ones threw away the chairs and dared not get close, while the brave ones rushed forward together and pressed the monster down.
Shao Mingxuan stopped and stood in a safe place, watching the townspeople work together to subdue the seven strange monsters. In the process, some townspeople were inevitably bitten by the monsters.
Tang Ning also came down from Shao Mingxun's arms. He thanked Shao Mingxun, returned the glasses to Shao Mingxun, and couldn't help but look at the roof where Jiang Mianmian was just now.
The girl has disappeared, apparently she has gone downstairs.
"I've heard people say that Jiang Mianmian can only display his best strength in a dungeon where he can touch guns." Lin Yun walked beside Tang Ning and lowered his voice, "He has a rare shooting talent and is a sharpshooter who never misses a shot. His partner is Bai Wuliang, and his talent is said to be related to vision. He can see things that ordinary people can't, and can also quickly lock onto a person's position. The two of them are more than just a 1+1 team."
"Bai Wuliang is the man in white in Deming." Lin Yun said softly, "It's just that I heard that Bai Wuliang was accidentally injured in the real world, and the injury was quite serious. This time he didn't go to the same dungeon with Jiang Mianmian, but found a newcomer, hoping to use the newcomer to lower the difficulty of the dungeon and survive for a while."
The two of them were whispering to each other. Shao Mingxuan also came over. Lin Yun shut up. Tangning looked away in admiration and asked quietly, "What should we do now?"
Even though she had heard Tang Ning's voice many times before, Lin Yun still had no resistance and fell silent.
Shao Mingxuan looked much more normal. He looked at the chaotic scene in front of him and sincerely suggested, "Call the police."
Tangning: “?”
"Fights of this magnitude are better handled by the police than by us." Shao Mingxuan looked like a kind-hearted citizen. If he hadn't scared Gui Dong away as soon as he appeared, Tang Ning would have thought that Shao Mingxuan was just an ordinary NPC.
"Take out your cell phone first." Lin Yun followed.
Tangning: “???” How come you, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, also betrayed me?!
"Use your phone to type, don't talk directly." Lin Yun showed a weak face.
Tang Ning obediently took out his cell phone and found that there was no signal. Normally, there would be no signal only when ghosts were approaching. What was going on now
Tang Ning looked around nervously. The sky was gloomy, with thick black clouds gathering in the sky. The air was damp and cold. The townspeople all looked solemn. A mother was holding her crying child and trying to comfort him. Several women looked up at the bound monster in disbelief. They called out their names tremblingly and broke down in tears.
Jiang Mianmian walked out from a distance and joined Tang Ning and his group. She said in a serious tone, "The supernatural power has polluted the entire town. Ever since that old man made the wish, the signal on our cell phones has been dropping continuously until we just lost it completely."
This is not good news.
The fact that the entire town can be polluted shows that the "River God" is extremely powerful. The mobile phone signal did not disappear suddenly, but was reduced one by one. Does this mean that the power of that being is recovering one by one
"Huh, so is your cell phone." Shao Mingxuan asked in surprise.
Tangning looked at Shao Mingxuan. It was unclear whether this NPC had good mental qualities or was really unaware of the seriousness of the problem. At this moment, he still had a calm and composed look.
"Just now, seven townspeople had an accident in that river. I don't know if it was because the strength of the boys and girls who were doing the stake training increased, or if they were affected by that existence." Lin Yun frowned.
There was a commotion in the crowd not far away, and someone shouted: "Master Zhu is here! Master Zhu is here!!!"
A Taoist priest with an immortal look came out surrounded by the townspeople. He was the Taoist priest who appeared in the first copy. It was he who suggested the mayor to continue hitting the living stakes, but the mayor refused and the two parted unhappily.
At this moment, Taoist Master Zhu was wearing a blue robe and holding a whisk in his hand. He walked in front of the group of tied monsters, shook his head with a compassionate face, and sighed: "It's pitiful. It's all the sins committed by the past, and the future generations have to pay for it. I originally wanted to blow up the bridge so that the two people under the bridge could be reincarnated, but I didn't expect that they have become evil spirits. These people were harmed by the two people in the river. If you had listened to them... Now that the two have seen blood, the living stakes can't hold them down."
The tied-up monster bared its teeth at Taoist Master Zhu, and the mayor beside him said humbly, "Master Zhu, what should we do now?"
Taoist Master Zhu waved his whisk and said, "It will be useless to bury them now. Let's build a temple and let the river god suppress them. We can worship them as boys and girls around the river god. After a long time, everything will be fine."
Build a temple
This plan sounded much better than using living people to drive stakes. The mayor asked quickly, "Then what are the requirements for building a temple?"
"Well, since you are a good person and want to give me the Buddha, I will help you keep an eye on the temple construction project." Taoist Master Zhu said in a dignified manner.
The mayor quickly expressed his gratitude, and the surrounding townspeople also cast grateful glances at Master Zhu.
Tang Ning looked at Taoist Master Zhu in confusion. Although he didn't understand these things, building a temple for the river god should be to strengthen the power of the river god, right
If that Dong is half an evil god, will there really be no problems if he builds a temple like this blindly
Tang Ning looked at Lin Yun and Jiang Mianmian with concern. The two of them had ugly expressions, and it was obvious that they were thinking the same thing as Tang Ning. Tang Ning then looked at Shao Mingxun, who narrowed his eyes and stared at Taoist Zhu who was talking so eloquently. He rarely looked at anyone other than Tang Ning with such interest.
The deep eyes narrowed and looked at people. Even the lenses could not block the sharp gaze. Taoist Zhu, who was staring at him from afar, paused for a moment and looked at Zhou. Shao Mingxuan was standing in the corner. Taoist Zhu did not look at this person. He shook his whisk and continued speaking.
Taoist Priest Zhu's speech was recognized by the desperate townspeople. This ancient town was surrounded by a long river. Now the bridge was broken and there were unknown creatures in the river that could attack people. The whole town was trapped in the water and the signal was gone. They had no contact with the outside world. As an expert in this area, Taoist Priest Zhu could give them a sense of security.
Someone asked Taoist Master Zhu how to deal with the townspeople who turned into monsters. Taoist Master Zhu said that water is afraid of fire, so just burn them.
The monster's relatives couldn't bear to hear this result, and cried and asked Master Zhu if he could save them. Master Zhu sighed and said, "There's no hope."
When Taoist Priest Zhu shook his head and said, "And you have to build the bridge in your town as soon as possible. The bridge is the lifeblood of the river. The water is fast and ruthless. We need a bridge to hold it back, otherwise disasters will come every day", Tang Ning saw Shao Mingxuan's lips slightly raised, and he sneered as if he couldn't help laughing.
Tangning blinked blankly. He tugged at the corner of Shao Mingxuan's shirt and asked quietly, "What are you laughing at?"
Shao Mingxuan turned around and curled his eyes at Tangning, "What an interesting person."
