Chapter 313: The Heroic Paper Puppet
Chapter 313: The Heroic Paper Puppet
Just as Xiao Jie was killing the stall owner, the other three players were also earning gold in their own ways.
Bai Ze found a place where there were many ghosts, took out a guzheng from his bag, and started playing it on the spot.
This game has a musical instrument system, and the way of playing is similar to playing a music game. Bai Ze doesn't have any way to make money, so he can only perform by selling his skills.
He had learned the art of playing the zither specially in order to become a disciple at Xuanxu Palace. It took him half a year to practice from the entry level to the master level. Thanks to his superb art of playing the zither, he was able to enter a great sect like Xuanxu Palace with only 40 spiritual power.
At this time, along with the melodious sound of the piano, many ghosts wandering aimlessly on the streets were attracted.
Ghosts cannot enjoy human delicacies and many pleasures, but this music is a rare pastime. Coupled with Bai Ze's superb skills, he used the [Emotional Mode].
Immediately, everyone who heard it was attracted and shed tears.
Soon, a large group of lonely ghosts gathered around. Most of these lonely ghosts had no property and had a lot of money in their hands. Even so, they still gave rewards continuously.
System prompt: You have received 1 Yuanbao from the ghost Chun Yiliu.
System prompt: You have received 1 Yuanbao from the ghost Sheng Jiatian.
System prompt: You have received 2 yuanbao from the ghost Qi Weibai.
System prompt: You have received 5 yuan treasures from the ghost Yun Zhu.
System prompt: You received 100 Yuanbao from the fox demon Hu Yulan.
Bai Ze looked at the numbers that kept flashing on the screen but he didn't feel very happy - he didn't know what to do with his master-level swordsmanship...
----
I wanted to become an immortal, so I went straight to the gambling house in the town.
Many "Gouki" gathered here, each carrying a handful of gold ingots, shouting and yelling, spending money lavishly.
The book implies that this ingot is certainly not gold or silver from the mortal world, but it is not a product of the underworld either. It is the ghost money burned by descendants. Moreover, this money cannot be received by burning it casually. It must be burned by devout descendants on the day of worship. In other words, the faith attribute must be more than 15 to successfully burn the money and send the burned paper money to the ancestors. The higher the faith, the higher the exchange rate of the ingot.
Moreover, Qingquan Town was destroyed in the war that year, and most of the townspeople were buried here. There are very few descendants scattered outside, so there are very few people who come to Guiwuling to worship and burn paper every year, and this ingot has become a rare item.
Most of those who can gamble here have relatives living outside.
I wanted to become an immortal, so I walked into the casino with 500 yuan in my pocket and suddenly became excited.
Looking at mahjong, pai gow and other gambling games, memories of his childhood came to his mind again - he had won a lot of New Year's money from relatives during the holidays.
Now we have to see the strength of these gamblers.
I walked straight to a mahjong table and observed it for a while. I understood the rules. They were the rules of Yunchuan Mahjong. What a coincidence! I am from Yunchuan.
He immediately entered the venue with great enthusiasm.
------
At this moment, Ye Luo was still strolling leisurely, using gold ingots to bribe local ghosts to provide information. She finally found out some of the information she wanted. In the middle of her screen, there was a compass-like icon.
This is the exclusive secret technique of the Impermanence Walker, which can display the different categories of ghosts on the screen.
But what she was looking for today was a little unusual.
Hey, there really is one here! On the small map, a red ghost face icon suddenly appeared.
Ye Luo followed the icon and went straight there, walking further and further away, until he came to the edge of the ghost market.
A small building that looked quite quaint appeared in front of him. Unlike the noisy atmosphere in other places in the ghost market, this place seemed quite secluded and even a little eerie.
Even the ghosts around are unwilling to come near here.
Ye Luo pushed the door and walked in. The small building looked old and the ground was covered with dust, but it looked like a girl's boudoir and was quite elegant.
After walking around for a while, Ye Luo's eyes lit up. He found it!
On the wall in front of me, there was a huge painting hanging.
The painting shows a colorful phoenix with red feathers, perched on a withered phoenix tree branch. The phoenix's lower body has gorgeous feathers, and although the upper body is a bird's, it vaguely looks like a woman with a sad expression, which is quite mysterious.
Ye Luo was watching the painting in front of him with great interest. The entire painting on the screen was a glaring scarlet color, which was obviously the source of the resentment.
You can also see two lines of poetry in the painting.
[The phoenix bird was born, and rested on the branches of the phoenix tree. 】
Clicked the mouse,
[System prompt: You found an unfinished ancient poem on a painting, which seems to tell some of the owner's thoughts before his death.]
Then a dialog box pops up.
Option 1: This is nothing to look at.
Option 2: Try to complete the poem.
Option 3: Tear the painting into pieces.
Ye Luo chose 2 without hesitation, and an input bar appeared on the picture where text could be entered.
"Writing poetry? Haha, that's interesting." Ye Luo pondered for a moment. The poems on the painting were very ordinary and had no special meaning. It was not difficult to connect them together.
After thinking about it, I wrote two sentences casually.
[Colorful feathers spread their wings lightly, and the clouds dance together]
"Hmph, you're just an ordinary person." A cold voice suddenly sounded, and looking at the portrait, the woman's expression suddenly became unhappy.
Ye Luo was not panicked, thinking to himself, is it not right? The problem is that the two lines of poetry in the painting are not of high quality.
"It's not a couplet." Ye Luo suddenly said to himself, carefully observing the phoenix in the portrait. The bird's eyes were quite miserable and seemed very sad.
Re-enter.
[The rosy clouds are gorgeous, but the heart is filled with sorrow. ]
This time, there was finally a response. Two lines of words immediately appeared below Ye Luo's poem. [Where can I send my sorrow? Where can I rely on my hurt? ]
It seems that I guessed it right.
Ye Luo immediately confronted him.
[The phoenix is trapped in a cage, it is hard for it to be free. 】
Words continued to appear on the painting.
【I met my bosom friend after my death, and I sighed why you came so late. 】
Ye Luo entered new text again without hesitation.
【Re-enter the cycle of reincarnation and we will meet again in the next life. 】
"Re-enter the cycle of reincarnation? How easy is that?" With a faint sigh, a woman in red slowly emerged from the painting.
Zhu Fengyun (Red Ghost): Level 27 rare elite. HP: 2000.
It turned out to be a female ghost in red!
You can earn a lot of merit points by guiding a female ghost in red, and female ghosts in red are famous for their wealth. Because they all died during their weddings, they usually bring dowries with them.
This time I'm going to give her a lot of gold.
"It is indeed not easy, so I, the Impermanent Traveler Ye Luo, have come to see you off today."
This is Ye Luo’s professional mission - to guide a high-level evil spirit.
I didn't expect that this time I came here to rescue people, I could also complete my professional mission at the same time.
A stern look suddenly appeared on the ghost girl's face. "Although I want to re-enter the reincarnation cycle, the resentment in my heart is difficult to resolve. I am afraid that I cannot walk the reincarnation cycle and cross the Wangliu River. What do you say?"
Ye Luo smiled slightly, "When a man is about to die, his words are kind. No matter how deep the resentment is, it will dissipate after dying twice."
"Haha, then I'll trouble you, sister." The red-clothed female ghost said, and suddenly a red light ignited on her body, and she instantly entered a combat state.
Ye Luo drew his sword and his voice immediately became cold: "You're welcome." As he spoke, he slashed out with the sword... A man and a ghost were fighting in an instant.
--------
Ninety minutes passed quickly, and the three of them arrived at the reserved location one after another.
Ye Luo was the first to arrive. Seeing Bai Ze and Yu Chengxian arriving together, he asked calmly, "How is it, how much did you earn?"
"I only earned more than 3,000 yuan." Bai Ze looked helpless. These ghosts were really too poor. I, a master-level pianist, played the piano for so long but only earned so little?
"Eight thousand." I Want to Become an Immortal said proudly, "Sister Ye Luo, how about you?"
"Fifteen thousand." Ye Luo said calmly.
Now the two were shocked, "So amazing? How did you do it?"
"Just luck? What about Suifeng?"
I want to become an immortal. I sent him a private message and he said it would take a few minutes. Let’s go find him. He’s at the chess stand over there.”
When a few people walked over, Xiao Jie was almost done playing chess.
"Impossible, impossible!" The old man looked incredulous. "I actually lost again. Even after you gave me three moves, I still couldn't win. How is this possible?"
Xiao Jie thought that this was pretty good. You know, today's chess-playing AI has completely crushed human players. Even if a national player came, he would still be beaten. This old man's strength is actually very good. If he were put in the Go circle, he would be at least at a professional level.
You are worthy of being an old man who has been playing for hundreds of years. However, even if you have played tens of thousands of games, it is just a drop in the bucket compared to the training volume of AI.
"Haha, old man, don't get angry. Anger is harmful to your health."
The old man was so angry that he almost came back to life. How can anger hurt your body? How can I be hurt when I'm already fucking dead?
"Never mind, never mind. I've met a master today. I'll admit defeat. Take it."
[System prompt: You won the game and received 32000 Yuanbao.]
It worked! Xiao Jie was delighted. Two thousand became four thousand, four thousand became eight thousand, eight thousand became sixteen thousand, and sixteen thousand became thirty-two thousand. He won 32000 Yuanbao directly from four games. Counting his original capital, the total was 34000 Yuanbao.
If I keep winning, wouldn't it be...
But looking at the old man's appearance, it was obvious that he had no more gold to lose, and he angrily removed the signboard next to him.
"Oh my god, Brother Feng is awesome! Thirty-two thousand!"
"It's just so-so. How are you guys? Well, the time is almost up. We have to go save people. Let's talk while we walk."
The four of them walked towards the stage and quickly summarized what they had gained today on the way.
Hearing that they all made a lot of gold ingots, Xiao Jie was also quite pleased, "Not bad, not bad, but the gold ingots I have are enough, you can keep them for yourself to buy something, there are still some good things in this ghost market."
He also planned to buy some things to take back.
Of course, we must rescue Xia Yi Wushuang first.
When he arrived in front of the stage, the puppeteer was still there. Xiao Jie directly clicked on the transaction and put 20,000 gold coins on it.
"Here are 20,000 yuan of treasure, where are the people?"
The puppeteer was a little surprised. "You guys are really good at this. You have earned enough gold in such a short time. Anyway, it seems that I am not destined to be with that knight yet."
Then a paper man was placed in the trading column.
