Chapter 59 Tian Family Daily Notes

Xiao Jie had already prepared for a tough battle, but when the door opened, the hall in front of him was empty. Only the empty hall appeared in front of him and me, Yu Chengxian.

Due to the closed windows and insufficient light, plus the fact that it may have been sealed for hundreds of years, the interior of the entire Tian family mansion presents a dim, eerie and decayed atmosphere. Everything is covered with a layer of gray texture, full of ominous atmosphere, making Xiao Jie feel as if he had returned to the days of staying up late to play Soul 3.

"Meatball, go in and take a look!" Xiao Jie ordered.

This is when the value of pets comes into play. When it comes to risking one's life to explore the way, of course the dog should be let go first.

Meatball let out a whimper and crawled in tremblingly.

Broken Tooth followed in, and the two dogs circled the lobby, one on the left and one on the right, but did not trigger a fight.

Xiao Jie did not let down his guard because it stands to reason that there must be a quest boss in this hidden map opened through a quest line.

He and I followed the two dogs from a distance and began to search the entire Tian family's old house.

Xiao Jie did not miss anything he saw as he passed by. He stuffed any item that could be picked up in the hall into his backpack, whether it was a decorative vase or an incense burner on the guest table.

There was nothing in the hall except some destructible tables, chairs, benches and bulky furniture. The side hall was also empty.

Then came the kitchen, where he found a few useful things, such as kitchen knives, plates, and porcelain bowls. Xiao Jie didn't hesitate to stuff them all into his backpack. No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat. At least it can be sold for a few copper coins if it is thrown into the store.

I wanted to become an immortal, so I followed his example and took everything that could be put into the backpack.

Unfortunately, the rice jars were filled with "rotten grains" and "rotten apples", which obviously could not be sold even if they were sold as garbage.

Next is the bedroom. There are some things here, such as 'worn cloth clothes', 'worn leather coat', 'worn leather boots' and 'worn trousers'. The main theme is a worn-out series.

Xiao Jie still packed up everything and took it away. To his surprise, he found a document in a cabinet beside the bed.

[The deed to the Tian Family’s old house (quest item)]

So smooth? Xiao Jie happily took the thing in his pocket. Although this task was to gather intelligence, he might get some task rewards.

The two of them walked around and searched the entire Tian family's old house.

There was nothing valuable in most of the rooms. The best gains were some scattered copper coins from a few wooden boxes, as well as some old clothes, jewelry with no attributes, etc., which were probably worth a few dollars if thrown into the store.

In a room deep in the old house, the two finally found the door to the cellar, which showed that it was locked.

Xiao Jie did not open the door rashly, "Continue searching."

After searching two more rooms, when they opened the door of the last room, they found that it was a study.

“Wow, that’s a lot of books.”

There were several rows of bookshelves in the small study. Xiao Jie clicked on them and searched them one by one, finding a few books to read.

"Travels of a Stranger"

The Classic of Herbs

"Kyushu Chronicles"

"Shanhai Tushuo"...

Xiao Jie collected them one by one. Many games would create original texts and books for players to read. They would usually give some detailed descriptions of the game's background stories to make the entire game's worldview more realistic, and sometimes one could also discover some hidden mission clues from them.

Those who are interested in plot research love to study this stuff. Of course, Xiao Jie usually searches for guides directly, but since there are no guides for this game, it does not prevent him from playing the role of a game scientist.

Hey, "Tian Jia Qi Shu Zhu" is - Tian Youcai's diary?
Xiao Jie was immediately delighted when he saw the title of this book.

When I clicked on it, I found that it recorded some daily trivial matters of the Tian family. Most of the content was meaningless, just raising a cow today and slaughtering a pig tomorrow.

But as he looked at it, he still discovered some useful details.

Tian Jia Qi Ji Zhu

Section 13: June 13. The Taoist priest came again, and he kept talking about his heretical teachings, such as the coming of a great catastrophe and the disasters in the world. He even showed me some Taoist scriptures, which were full of irrelevant nonsense. Humph, he was just trying to confuse people with his lies. Did he think I was a country rich man who knew nothing? It was obvious that he wanted to deceive me and steal my family's money.

Section 27: August 3rd.

Bad news came from outside the valley again. It was said that there was chaos in the provincial capital. There were demons everywhere, dead bodies were everywhere, corpses were walking in the wilderness in broad daylight, and all the wild beasts had gone crazy. Perhaps what the Taoist said made some sense.

Chapter 59: May 3rd.

I actually met that Taoist priest again. He wanted to sell me a [magic talisman] which was said to be able to summon heavenly soldiers and generals. It cost three hundred taels of silver, which was decades of savings for my Tian family. However, in order to protect the Tian family's property, I had to take a gamble. I hoped he was not lying to me.

Chapter 60: The fifth day of May.

Those scarecrows were resurrected, and the heavenly soldiers... were just some moving puppets, more like some kind of magic mechanism. However, they were useful after all. All the crazy beasts outside were driven away, so it was not a loss at all.

Chapter 62: May 7th.

Today I deleted a servant who died, it seems he was killed by a scarecrow. The other servants begged me to destroy the talisman. These idiots, how could they know the seriousness of the matter? Only with the talisman can we protect the family business. The death of one or two people is nothing. As long as we are careful, nothing will happen.

Chapter 63: May 9th.

Alas, poor Yu Lian followed me for more than twenty years, and we shared the same joys and sorrows, but she died at the hands of the Scarecrow. This is not a [divine talisman] at all, it is clearly a [magic talisman]. No, I must destroy this [magic talisman] today.

But I suddenly had an idea. Since this talisman can bring the scarecrow back to life, I wonder if it can also revive my wife. Let's give it a try. If it fails, it won't be too late to destroy it.

Chapter 64: The tenth day of May.

It actually worked, hahahaha, this [Magic Talisman] is really a good treasure. With this magic weapon in hand, I will no longer be afraid of death or extinction of my clan.

Chapter 67: I can’t remember what day it is today.

Yulian has been acting strange lately, always talking to herself and saying she can hear 'immortal sounds'. She doesn't eat during the day and at night I saw her secretly drinking raw blood. This [magic talisman] is really a disaster.

Section 68:
The servants all ran away, what a bunch of useless trash. Why did that Taoist cheat me?

Chapter 69:
I felt something was not right. The power of the talisman was affecting me. I saw a lot of strange things. My body was out of control. The look in Daniu's eyes was not right. This rebellious son, could it be that he wanted to steal my talisman?

Section 68:
The old man, the bitch, and the rebellious son all wanted to snatch my talisman. I won't give it to anyone else. I've driven them all out, but I hope it's not too late.

I barricaded the door so they couldn't get in.

Chapter 69:
It’s so noisy, my ears are filled with sounds, who is talking?

Section 70:

I must destroy this thing and not let it harm anyone again, but why can't I do it? It seems like there is a voice stopping me.

Section 71:
The Talisman is mine, no one can take it away. Yes, I must hide it. Maybe the cellar is a good place...

This is where the book ends.

After reading this, Xiao Jie finally had a clear understanding of the story.

Apparently, when the catastrophe struck, Tian Youcai bought a [magic talisman] from the Taoist priest, which could revive the dead and turn the scarecrow into a so-called "heavenly soldier" to guard the mansion. However, he did not expect that even the dead could be resurrected, and that the talisman seemed to have a mind-affecting effect, causing him to go crazy. He drove his family out, and finally hid in the cellar with the talisman.

And his family members were also transformed into demons and surrounded the old house of the Tian family. No one knew whether they were attracted by the magic talisman or for some other reason.

So this Tian Youcai has probably turned into a demon by now.

And he is definitely more powerful than the three demons before.

Maybe it's a BOSS.

And that [divine talisman/magic talisman] must still be in his possession.
