Chapter 461: Fool's House, Adventure Theory
"Hey, I think I found it."
Xiao Jie was about to leave when he heard Gu Feiyu cheer in surprise.
Xiao Jie hurriedly stopped and moved closer, and saw that on the screen, Gu Feiyu was staring intently at a mural.
This kind of murals are everywhere in the dilapidated temple. Most of them are nothing special. Due to their age, these murals are mottled and difficult to identify.
The one in front of me is hung behind the statue.
The content of the painting is very simple, just a simple landscape painting. In the middle of an endless mountain range, stands a desolate hill with a thatched hut on top of the hill. It is a very simple landscape painting.
However, despite its simplicity, after a little thought, Xiao Jie immediately understood why Gu Feiyu chose this painting - this painting was completely incompatible with the style of the entire dilapidated temple.
This is a temple after all, and the contents on the murals are mostly related to gods, Taoists, fairyland and the like.
Even landscape paintings are often quite artistic.
However, this one alone is so crude that it is beyond common sense.
If this was just an ordinary game, it could be explained as the game maker randomly piling up textures, but in a game like this, there must be a reason for this unusual behavior.
"Did that wandering Taoist leave you a message to open the door?"
"There is a spell. He said that as long as you find the entrance to the master's sect, you can open it by reciting the spell." Gu Feiyu said as he picked up a notebook from next to the mouse. He learned this habit from Xiao Jie.
Any important information must be written down.
Gu Feiyu started reading from the notebook.
"Sincerity can move mountains and open up new horizons. I will obey your wishes, and let me do it!"
Gu Feiyu read it out loud, and saw ripples appearing in the ink on the painting. The painting style instantly became much more realistic, as if the resolution had been increased several times in an instant.
The whole painting becomes vivid, and you can even see the grass and trees on the barren hills swaying in the wind.
Hello, this is interesting. It seems that this painting is the entrance. No, this painting is where the master's door is.
Xiao Jie didn't say anything. This was Gu Feiyu's fate. At this time, all decisions had to be made by him.
Especially when it comes to matters of life and death, success or failure, one must not interfere lightly.
Gu Feiyu was also quite surprised. He thought for a moment, a determined look appeared on his face. He took a deep breath, and walked towards the painting.
His character takes a step forward, and the landscape painting immediately begins to show a hint of ink. As the ink surges, the scene before his eyes changes.
Gu Feiyu was standing at the foot of a barren mountain at this time, surrounded by continuous mountains in ink painting style. Even the trees beside the mountain road were black, a simple composition made up of ink painting.
Gu Feiyu walked up the mountain along the mountain path. The surrounding scenery gradually changed from the style of ink painting to real. When he reached the top of the mountain, the surroundings were exactly the same as real mountains, with lush green grass and pine and cypress trees. It did not look as desolate as it looked from the outside. It was quite a quiet and elegant mountain range.
But when he looked around, he could still see the ink-and-wash style outlines of the mountains surrounding the barren mountain.
Walking along the mountain road into the mountains, we soon saw a thatched cottage. There were several jujube trees planted around the cottage, some flowers and plants, and a field with many vegetables and grains planted in it.
An old man in a coarse robe was sitting under a jujube tree, leisurely sipping tea with a plate of dates.
There was a wooden plaque hanging on the thatched cottage, with three crooked words written on it - Fool's Residence.
Gu Feiyu stepped forward and said respectfully, "Master, please come. I am Gu Feiyu, a junior, and I have come to become your disciple. Please forgive me if I have disturbed you."
As he said this, he also used the special action of "bowing".
The old man in the rough robe raised his head and looked at him, then said, "I am not a Taoist priest, but just a fool from the countryside. How come you come to me, kid?"
"It was Daoist Master You who asked me to come."
"Humph, that brat Youfang is really a trouble... You've come to the wrong place. Get out of here now, and don't disturb my peace."
"Master, Master You said that you and I are destined to be together, so he asked me to come here. Please teach me some Taoist magic."
"What a bullshit Taoist technique, I don't know how to do it. You've come to the wrong place. You should go find your Taoist master somewhere else."
"The younger generation will not leave."
"I'm too lazy to care about you."
The old man said this and stopped drinking his tea. He turned around, picked up his hoe, and went to the field next to him to start planting.
When Gu Feiyu saw this, he immediately took out a hoe from his backpack and started helping without saying a word.
Fortunately, Gu Feiyu learned a lot of life skills in the Novice Village, so farming was not difficult.
A lot of wheat was grown in no time.
The old man looked at the fields full of weeds and snorted coldly.
But he picked up the wheat and prepared to cook.
When Gu Feiyu saw this, he hurried forward, used his cooking skills, and started helping with cooking.
In a few seconds, a pot of steamed buns was steamed. The old man looked better now. "You, young man, may be a little reckless, but you are also diligent. What else can you do?"
"I can till the fields, grow vegetables, raise cattle and graze, pour tea, cook and grind ink. I can do a little bit of everything."
"Haha, you know a lot. Well, if you don't want to leave, that's fine, but I won't keep you here for free. I'm still short of a boy to serve tea, water, sweep the floor and grow vegetables. If you don't mind the fatigue, you can stay. But I have to tell you in advance that I don't know any Taoist magic. If you want to learn magic, you've come to the wrong place."
"Thank you, Taoist priest, for your help!" Gu Feiyu thanked him hurriedly. As for not understanding Taoist techniques - what a joke. How could he be an ordinary person if he could live in a painting?
Most of the time it's just an excuse, I'd be crazy to believe you.
"Humph, this is really strange. You are my servant and you still want to thank me - go and help me plant these vegetables."
As he said this, he threw over a bag of rapeseed.
[System prompt: Get the job [Growing vegetables]]
Looking at Gu Feiyu's busy appearance, Xiao Jie thought that it seemed that learning Taoism was not so easy. He would probably need to do a lot of errands to improve his master's reputation and the old man's favorability. Only after both the favorability and reputation were raised could he truly learn magic.
But it would be nice to have a chance.
Professional players are least afraid of this kind of brushing work.
------
Early the next morning, Xiao Jie went online.
Now the three states and two kingdoms are recruiting refugees, training soldiers, forging weapons, and constructing equipment in preparation for the next war.
The entire game revolves around this major event.
Various related tasks are being distributed in various state capitals and towns, which keeps the players very busy.
The two major guilds were firing on all cylinders, investing resources crazily, and training soldiers on a large scale, preparing to perform well in the upcoming war.
In comparison, Xiao Jie and his team have become marginalized people with nothing to do.
They didn't care about ordinary tasks at all, but the war hadn't started yet, so Xiao Jie prepared to continue helping his teammates with their personal tasks to improve the strength of the entire team.
After waiting in the restaurant for a while, An Ran was the first to arrive.
"Did you learn a new shapeshifting spell yesterday?" An Ran asked directly.
"Yes, Zhenyue Mountain Lord has transformed." Xiao Jie gave a brief description of the effect of this transformation.
"Damn, the profession of demon refiner is too powerful. We sorcerers are totally not on the same level." An Ran said with great envy. She has now learned several shapeshifting spells, and her combat power is quite strong, but compared with Xiao Jie, there is a big gap.
Xiao Jie thought to himself that we are a legendary profession, so it must be different.
However, after listening to An Ran's words, Xiao Jie suddenly had an idea. Wild beasts can evolve into monsters through the evolution ritual. He wondered if the rules of monster evolution also apply to An Ran.
In theory, the monster evolution ritual is just like an ordinary player's adventure, and it can be triggered as long as the conditions are met.
Then can it be triggered after the sorcerer turns into a beast?
If that's the case, it would be convenient.
No, it shouldn't be that simple...
He couldn't help but think of Gu Feiyu's gaming experience yesterday.
According to Gu Feiyu's theory, players must meet certain hidden factors if they want to trigger an adventure. Special identity, occupation, experience, and ability determine the probability and possibility of triggering an adventure.
If Gu Feiyu wants to trigger adventures like the fox demon and the wandering Taoist priest, he must find a scholar to accompany him, otherwise he cannot trigger it by himself.
And this is probably the problem.
Demon refiners can refine spiritual energy, and the key to the evolution of wild beasts into demon beasts is the instinctive control of spiritual energy.
Therefore, in this system architecture, the demon refiner is a scholar, and the sorcerer is an ordinary person.
Therefore, the demon refiner can use the evolution ritual to obtain the transformation of demon beasts, but the sorcerer cannot.
However, Gu Feiyu's success yesterday gave Xiao Jie an inspiration. Since Gu Feiyu can get a chance to have an adventure by traveling with the scholar, does that mean An Ran can also act with him to get a chance to have an adventure of monster evolution?
Xiao Jie expressed his speculation, and An Ran's eyes suddenly lit up, "Your idea is good, then in this case, I can also advance to a demon beast."
"It's just a guess. Next time I go to trigger the evolution ritual, you can come with me. Just in case it works. But the only problem is that our transformations don't seem to overlap."
This is a problem. The two people must be the same kind of beast for An Ran to be able to take a ride.
An Ran smiled slightly: "This is not a problem, I know a lot of monsters in Canglinzhou, many of their descendants haven't transformed yet, I can hang out with their descendants, maybe I can join in an evolution ceremony.
Haha, that's good to know. Thank you very much. I'll try it this afternoon."
As they were talking, the rest of the people also came online.
"What activities are there today, Brother Feng?"
"Today we are going to help Brother Xia complete the duel mission. Brother Xia, is your duel date coming up?"
"That's right. I agreed with the puppeteer to duel in a month, and now it's finally about to begin."
