"Don't worry about how tall you are, anyway, it's very tall, it's unimaginably taller, than—well." Sun Shouwu looked at Liu Wei'an's suspicious eyes, paused, and said seriously: "You know the gods, China. In ancient mythology, with a wave of hands, mountains are moved to fill the sea, the sun and the moon have no light, after the ancient scriptures are practiced, it probably has this effect, the hands can pick the stars, and the body can span the universe—”
"I know it's very powerful." Liu Wei'an interrupted him, "But what does this have to do with you?"
"It doesn't matter, the relationship is getting bigger." Sun Shouwu waved his arm vigorously, and said: "You think, after hundreds of years of development, the six aristocratic families and us have formed a relatively stable situation. You all know how much you have, what if someone suddenly got the ancient scriptures?"
"Balance broken?" Liu Weian seemed to understand something.
"That's right, once the balance is broken, we will face a new round of reshuffle. At that time, the current situation will be turbulent, and there will be another bloodbath. It is the common people who will suffer." Sun Shouwu showed a compassionate expression.
"Pretend, keep pretending!" Liu Weian despised in his heart, even if he was killed, he would not believe that Sun Shouwu was so kind. Seeing Sun Shouwu's affectation, I almost felt like vomiting.
"So, I must prevent those ambitious people from obtaining the ancient scriptures." Sun Shouwu looked at Liu Wei'an's suspicious eyes, blushed, and coughed, "Of course, some selfishness cannot be ruled out, and I want to see it too. , What does the legendary ancient scripture look like."
"Then what?"
"Everyone depends on their ability. You chase and rob. Those who snatch them run away, and those who don't succeed chase after them. They fight all the way. I don't know how many people died. They ran from northeast to west, from south to north, several times. changed hands—"
"And then came to Stone City?" Liu Wei'an didn't know yet, it turned out that Sun Shouwu was just a chatterbox.
"How do you know?" Sun Shouwu stared at him.
"You crowds are crowded here, even the blind can see it." Liu Weian rolled his eyes.
"Uh—is it so obvious?" Sun Shouwu smiled awkwardly, "Well, after going around for a few months, everyone lost patience, so they didn't deliberately hide the traces. Of course, the main reason is that they couldn't hide. In the end, it did catch up to Stone City, but after that, the things disappeared.”
"Disappeared? What do you mean?" Liu Wei'an looked at him puzzled
"Who knows." Sun Shouwu was quite depressed.
"What do you mean by not knowing?"
"It's just that something was lost. I don't know where it went. It may have been thrown on the ground, it may have been taken away by a tiger, or it may have been destroyed. Anyway, it is gone. However, everyone agrees that it was taken away quietly. Yes, the old Zhao family thought it was in the hands of the old Liu family, and the old Liu family thought it was in the hands of the old Wang family. They were suspicious of each other and guarded against each other. But there is also a guess, maybe it was accidentally picked up by the people of Stone City. After all, the ancient scriptures disappeared The place is the closest to Stone City, so there are so many people, maybe someone just passed by.
"So—" Liu Weian's face remained unchanged, but his heart skipped a beat, as if he understood what was going on.
"Well, that's right, so!" Sun Shouwu nodded.
In order to find the lost ancient scriptures, several big families did not hesitate to kill. Because there were no clues, the nearest stone city became the first to suffer, so corpses littered the field and blood flowed like rivers. Simply looking for the ancient scriptures, after being jealous of killing people, it is inevitable to have other thoughts, take the opportunity to sabotage, you smashed my shop, I robbed your caravan, public anger and personal enmity, I guess this is the reason for the turmoil to intensify and become unstoppable The main reason for tidying up.
Otherwise, no matter how powerful the six major families are, they would not dare to be so unscrupulous.
"Ask you a question!" Liu Weian looked at Sun Shouwu, "What does the ancient scripture look like?"
"I don't know!" Sun Shouwu froze for a moment, hesitated for a while before saying, "It should look like a book."
"You have been chasing after him for several months, but you haven't even seen what the book looks like?" Liu Weian looked in disbelief.
"You know, our Sun family sounds like a big family, but it's actually not as good as the six big families." Sun Shouwu blushed, "That's why I said trouble."
"Ask another question, what is the name of the ancient scriptures? It can't be called the ancient scriptures, right?"
Sun Shouwu's old face turned even redder, and he coughed: "This... Since I found it in the Darkness Mountain, it should be related to the darkness. Well, I have something else to do. The chat is over, and I'm leaving first." Seeing a problem, Sun Shouwu fled in despair.
Looking at Sun Shouwu's back, Liu Weian was almost certain that the piece of amber he had snatched was the so-called ancient scripture, and he was the last beneficiary. However, is the ancient scripture so magical? He didn't think so, but suffered a lot. Shaking his head, he woke up suddenly when he walked out of the 'Heal the Undead' pharmacy. He planned to talk to Sun Lingzhi for a while. I was embarrassed to go in again, so I had to leave disgruntled.
The shops on the street have been opened one after another, the aftermath of the massacre has almost subsided, and there are more pedestrians on the road, but there are not many old faces, they are all strangers, either wandering from other places, or New players who are new to World of Warcraft.
material store.
The decoration of the shop is simple and simple, there are a lot of goods, and the shelves are almost full. There are all kinds of things, such as animal skins, hairs, horns, bones, nails, unknown bark, roots, leaves, seeds, red stones, White soil, pet eggs, nails, ropes, paper, pepper, soybeans, jade, shells... Some materials are unheard of, and have never been seen before. Liu Weian looked at the shelves one by one, but most of them did not recognize them.
"Hello, what do you need?" The shop assistant appeared with a smile on his face. Before the massacre, Liu Weian couldn't enjoy one-on-one service because there were so many people. However, in the past few days, there were two or three cats in the shop, and the attitude of the shop assistants was particularly enthusiastic.
"Cinnabar and brushes, do you have them?"
"Yes." The store clerk replied immediately, proficient in business, stretched out his finger, "This way please!"
After walking a few steps inside, Liu Weian saw a large bucket of red powder, cinnabar, in the corner.
Cinnabar, also known as cinnabar, cinnabar, red dan, mercury sand, is ground from natural ore, bright red, with metallic luster. Sandwiched with realgar, apatite and asphaltenes. Cinnabar has the effects of sedative and hypnotic, detoxification and antiseptic, sterilization and deinsectization. However, the most important function is to draw symbols.
The fine cinnabar can keep for thousands of years without fading, it is as bright red as blood, and has a bright luster. However, Liu Wei'an couldn't tell what was superior and what was inferior, and there was only one kind of cinnabar here, so he couldn't choose. Weighing a catty, it's frighteningly expensive, 100 copper plates a tael.
"We have a complete range of brushes here, including wolf hair brushes, rabbit hair brushes, mouse hair brushes, and fetal hair brushes—"
"Bring me 10 bristle pens." Liu Weian interrupted the shop assistant's introduction. If you are a master of calligraphy, it would be cool to buy a wolf brush or a rabbit brush. For a novice like him, a bristle brush is enough.
It's not that bristle brushes are cheap, but bristle brushes are hard and not as soft as other brushes. Liu Weian has never even touched a brush a few times. If you take a brush with a lot of softness, who knows what it will look like.
Drawing talismans is a very sacred thing. It must be performed after a series of complicated and solemn procedures, such as cleansing hands, body, meditation, bathing, dressing, placing incense in the hall, worshiping the heavenly master, etc. Liu Weian is just getting started , no one taught him, and he only mastered one kind of spell, and it was the simplest dissolving spell, so everything was kept simple.
After finding an inn and opening a room, Liu Weian took out fifty arrows, mixed cinnabar with rooster blood, and began to concentrate on drawing talismans.
It is different with professional tools. It is much smoother to draw, and it does not use my own blood, and it smells much more comfortable.
In less than three minutes, the spell was completed, the yellow light flashed, and the spell disappeared into the arrow body, leaving only traces that cannot be traced. Liu Wei'an was overjoyed and succeeded.
Good luck, good omen.
The second and third rounds were all successful, all in one go, three consecutive hits, this was the result of a few hours in the morning, Liu Wei'an was overjoyed, the fourth round, failed.
Liu Wei'an wasn't sure if it was because of his lack of skill or what happened. After failing once, the arrow couldn't draw a symbol for the second time.
The fifth one failed, the sixth one succeeded...
An hour later, Liu Weian succeeded in drawing the undead spell on thirteen arrows, but failed seven times. After that, no matter how concentrated he was, he couldn't draw the spell. Just like the situation in the morning, it reached a certain limit.
In the morning, I could only draw ten times, but now I can draw twenty times. I don't know if it's because my proficiency has increased or because the tools are in hand. After putting away the things, I found that there was too much cinnabar, and half of it was poured out, and a third of it was not used. I felt distressed for a while.
After leaving the room, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon, so I ordered two small dishes at the inn, and had a delicious meal. Recently, my wealth has become plump, and I don't have to eat buns and steamed buns every now and then. It's okay to go to a restaurant occasionally of.
In the afternoon, I went to the grove. It is worth mentioning that the two uncles of Hei Niu, because they are located in a remote area, usually no one comes to this place, they escaped the storm of the massacre and have been making arrows these days. Arrows, when Liu Wei'an went, he saw arrows piled up like a mountain, and thought that the space ring was only one cubic meter. He was quite proud before, but now he found it too small. All the zombie nails were poured out, and half a cube of arrows was packed and left.
Before leaving, I told the two uncles that the arrows I made should be hidden for safety, just in case, if a player accidentally broke in, wouldn't they just be taken away? As for the arrows, he still needs to continue making them. Although this kind of arrows can't kill zombies, he doesn't stay in the cemetery all his life. After killing the monsters in the cemetery, he still has to come out. It just happens to be useful for killing other monsters in the future.
It took more than three hours to shoot and kill more than 200 walking corpses, more than 100 rotting corpses, and 13 zombies. After waiting for an hour for the zombies to leave and pick up the corpses, it was already dark, Old Li and the others were already impatient, and Liu Weian added another 30 copper coins before they shut up.
