An accident turned Jian Yue into a streamer in an infinitely thrilling survival game. Among the awakened abilities of top streamers, his survival ability was—gossip.
Audience: "Hahaha, ...
Chapter 174 I'm pregnant with your child!
The room immediately fell into silence.
Not only was the entire room silent, but Jian Yue also saw that the woman next to him had a dazed look on her face. Her scarlet eyes even looked at him with a hint of clarity and wisdom.
This sentence seems to burn out the CPU in the human brain.
But Jian Yue was still analyzing it for her, saying, "The book you found is not the same as the one I want. This is not what I want. I want one that I can understand the words in. I can't understand your book, so it's not what I'm looking for, right? Being a human, no, being a ghost also requires being reasonable, right? Only when you are reasonable can you have credibility. Otherwise, who will take care of your business in the future?"
The woman was so fooled that she was paralyzed. The murderous aura in her body faded away and she just stared at Jian Yue in amazement.
The audience in the live broadcast room were delighted to see this:
"I'm a returning customer."
"Who will take care of the business? What a shame."
“At first glance, it seems to make sense.”
"Teaching ghosts how to do business, there are more unpopular behaviors!"
The number of viewers in the live broadcast room increased by two thousand almost instantly because of this extraordinary operation. In a short period of time, the number of viewers in Jian Yue's live broadcast room has reached 33,890, and the number is still rising. For the number of viewers in the Nightmare World, any anchor with more than 30,000 viewers is already considered to be quite powerful. After all, the anchors on the rankings basically maintain more than 100,000 viewers.
The new mode of the newly opened copy has already attracted the audience's attention. As long as there are eye-catching behaviors, the number of viewers will increase several times faster than that of the ordinary copy.
The female ghost was so angry at Jian Yue that she couldn't speak. She reminded Jian Yue in a dark and sorrowful voice, "Here, just like this, one copy."
Jian Yue had a helpless expression on his face: "That's a pity. It seems that I can't find the book I want. Hey, don't blame yourself. This is not your problem. After all, this kind of book is not easy for everyone to find. I took it for granted. It's really difficult for you to do such a thing."
As soon as these words came out.
The female ghost was stunned.
Saying that she couldn't find the book was an insult to her, no, her character!!
Once the ghost's competitive spirit is aroused, it will burn like a spark that will only grow stronger and stronger!
"I... recognize it." Her voice was a little dry: "I can teach you."
Jian Yue hesitated and said, "Is this too much for you? If it's really inconvenient for you, forget it."
The ghost girl looked at Jian Yue with a look of disdain, as if to say, "Brother, I advise you to think twice before speaking." She glared at Jian Yue with resentment and said, "I recognize every word here."
As her words fell.
The system panel popped up: "The translation task has been completed, and the reward has been obtained. The help of the book ghost and the reward card have no cooldown."
Jian Yue was silent for a moment. No wonder he had refused to clearly indicate what the reward for this task was. If he had said from the beginning that the reward was this, who would dare to come?
The panel disappeared quickly.
Jian Yue said to the people around him: "It took you too long to teach me this word one by one, and I may not remember it. How about this, I will come to you every day and learn a little from you every day?"
The ghost girl hesitated for a moment. This was too slow of a process. When would she be able to eat someone? !
Jian Yue said, "Originally you didn't help me find the book I was looking for, so I didn't want to come again. Now it's considered a compromise, and you've already made a profit, don't you know?"
The ghost girl was silent for a moment, as if she wanted to refute but felt that there was some truth in the rebuttal. Seeing that if she didn't agree, the meat at her mouth might fly away, she could only say, "Okay then."
Sooner or later, the lesson will be completed, and she can eat then!
Jian Yue smiled and said, "That's right, this is called a win-win situation for both of us."
Anyway, he can just stop coming if he is almost done with the studies. Besides, the book was not the translation she wanted. If all else fails, he can just cook some other delicious meat for her as an apology!
The man and the ghost completed the transaction happily.
After completing the task, Jian Yue was no longer in a hurry. He began to carefully observe the books on this floor. The books here were all very old. He walked between the bookshelves and observed the contents of these books. When he was walking between them, he did not recognize the words in many books. When Jian Yue passed by a bookshelf, he was attracted by a thick notebook at the innermost part.
"What is this?" Jian Yue reached out and took out the book. The book was red and the words on it were a little blurred, but what surprised Jian Yue was that he could understand the words on it directly.
It is clearly printed on the book: Records of Bailu Mountain Temple
He is the abbot of this temple.
Jian Yue casually opened the book and saw clear handwriting on it. The book recorded the date when the temple was built and some major events that happened that year.
Soon, Jian Yue saw the words written on it.
[In the spring of the 35th year of Qianli, Bailu Temple was built. Auspicious signs from heaven blessed Daqian. Led by the Xue family, temples were built in various places.]
Xue family!
Jian Yue finally understood why the system insisted on asking him to do this task. If he didn't come, he would have no chance to see this book. The people from the Ministry of Rites were renovating the library, and this book might disappear directly in the renovation. He also had no way of knowing that this Bailu Temple, the first national temple of Daqian, was built by the Xue family!
Finally got some clues.
Jian Yue continued to flip through the pages and saw the records at the end.
Many of the subsequent events recorded the emperors coming to pay homage at various points, until Jian Yue turned to the last page of the book and finally saw the records about the Xue family.
[In the 125th year of Qianli, the Xue family blew up more than half of the Bailu Temple, causing a strange phenomenon in the sky. They were punished by heaven, and the emperor was furious and ordered the execution of the entire Xue family.]
Depend on!
Jian Yue's eyes widened unconsciously.
The Xue family built the Bailu Temple, and then blew it up with their own hands a hundred years later. They were also punished by heaven and their entire family was executed! This plot is so bizarre! I can't even think about it normally!
Why would they do that?
Jian Yue just felt that as an outsider, he could not understand it, because this behavior, no matter from which point of view, was an act of seeking death, and no one with a normal mind would do this.
There must be something hidden here.
Jian Yue thought, if the Xue family wanted to blow up the temple, was there something wrong with this temple?
The system panel suddenly popped up: "The main quest [The truth about the Xue family's death] is currently at 15% progress. Please keep working hard!"
The main quest has progressed.
It seems that this information of his is useful, and there is no problem with his thinking for the time being, otherwise the plot will not be able to progress. The emperor came here to worship, and he didn't know how long he would stay. Although the system did not issue a limited-time task, he would have to return to the palace sooner or later. He must hurry up, otherwise if he missed this time, he didn't know how long it would take for him to return to the temple next time.
Of course, this is not the point.
The key point is whether he will be alive when he comes back next time!
Just as Jian Yue was thinking about it, a faint voice came from downstairs, sharp and loud: "Your Majesty, get up!"
The emperor is leaving.
Jian Yue suddenly came back to his senses and realized that he had forgotten the agreed meeting time because he was reading the hospital history upstairs. He immediately closed the book and prepared to go downstairs. However, after walking a few floors, he saw the National Master and others coming in a huge procession not far away, and inspecting each floor.
It’s over. I can’t meet the Imperial Master.
The Imperial Master might have remembered him because of what happened to Butler Zhao. If he were to meet him upstairs, he might think that he was stealing some royal secrets and punish him with just a random crime. Well, although he did seem to be investigating privately.
Jian Yue went back upstairs.
This floor is already the top floor. There is no way up, but there is no way down either!
There is a somewhat old window here, but looking down from the window is the 15th floor of a building, with an unfathomable lake below. Not to mention death if you jump in, the noise is so loud that even a deaf person can notice it.
If you don't jump now, you will die!
As the footsteps downstairs got closer, Jian Yue broke out in a cold sweat on his back.
The audience in the live broadcast room also sweated:
"The Imperial Master is here!"
"The host's luck is incredible!"
"It would be a disaster if we got caught."
"The Imperial Master is not a soft-hearted person!"
Jian Yue also realized the seriousness of the matter. It seemed that the Imperial Master was bringing his confidants with him. When Jian Yue listened carefully, he heard his elderly voice and the voice of the Minister of Rites.
The Imperial Master asked, "Have you dealt with all those books?"
The Minister of Rites replied, "Don't worry, Imperial Master. The relevant books have long been dealt with. Some of the texts that could be understood in the early years have also been sent to you. Now there may be some secret books in ancient characters left in the building. I can guarantee that there is no one else in the world who can understand those characters except you, Imperial Master! Even the only translation has been dealt with by us!"
Jian Yue raised his eyebrows slightly as he listened.
No wonder I couldn’t find it, it turns out they had already gotten there first.
Jian Yue slowly turned his head to look at the female ghost who was looking at him with pale face and red eyes not far away from him, and slowly raised his thumb to her.
Female ghost:?
The audience in the live broadcast room couldn't help but laugh at such a critical moment:
"The Minister will never think that there is no one but a ghost."
“No one would have thought of this.”
"The host probably didn't expect it when he came on stage."
Jian Yue finally heard some serious information. The Imperial Master and the Minister of Rites were in the same group. They had already cleared away some really useful things.
The Minister of Rites said again: "Master Imperial Master, this time His Majesty has detoxified first, is it because he has noticed something?"
The Imperial Master's voice immediately sank, and he snorted coldly, "Even if he noticed, what can he do? Even if he eats the wishing flower, it can only temporarily suspend the curse. As long as the curse is on him, it will torture him. As long as he can't completely remove the curse, he will never be able to get rid of this poison!"
The minister said: "You are wise, Imperial Master. As long as your majesty cannot remove the curse, he will always be under your control."
The Imperial Master snorted, but his current power and status were not entirely due to his courage. He whispered, "Have you dealt with the old site of Bailu Temple?"
The Minister of Rites whispered, "The old site is buried deep, and ordinary people cannot find it. Your Majesty will definitely not go to such a place. He has been in a shadow since he was a child, and he will not go near it."
The Imperial Master was relieved and said, "That's good. Remember, you can only hold this position securely if we don't make any mistakes!"
The Minister of Rites immediately replied, "Please rest assured, Imperial Master. I know everything and will do my best to assist you and His Majesty the King of Chu."
Jian Yue was shocked when he heard this.
It was broad daylight, but I felt as if my whole body was cold. Oh my god, this was too much information. The imperial teacher was actually in cahoots with the King of Chu. Moreover, they knew that the emperor was poisoned and had been deliberately condoning it.
The former site of Bailu Temple?
What does this old site mean? After Bailu Temple was burned down, it was not rebuilt on the original site, but the old site was hidden? Why use the words "deal with" and "hide"? Is there really something shameful about the old site?
He fell into deep thought.
But as the noise downstairs grew louder, Jian Yue suddenly noticed that something was wrong with the people around him. The ghost girl's face, which had been calm just now, became distorted, and even her eyes became redder and redder. Her whole body was shaking, in a state of great anger, hatred and fear.
Jian Yue: "You..."
He saw the female ghost take a sudden step and actually bumped into the table next to her, making a noise!
"Who?" The national teacher downstairs suddenly looked upstairs with sharp eyes.
Even the Minister of Rites became nervous: "Is there someone upstairs? Quick, go up and take a look!"
Some of the audience in the live broadcast room also screamed:
“We’ve been discovered!”
“It’s absolutely amazing.”
“This time he was caught red-handed!”
Jian Yue really didn't expect this, this guy has stupid teammates and ghosts as well. The national teacher and the Minister of Rites downstairs rushed up the stairs at a rapid pace, only to see the dim fifteenth floor. The whole floor was empty and silent, and a silent feeling of dullness spread throughout the floor.
The Minister of Rites looked at the ground and said, "It seems, it seems to be a mouse?"
There were rats running on the ground, and there was a slight smell of blood.
"It seems to have a smell." The Minister of Rites turned pale, and he seemed to remember something. He said weakly, "Sir, I heard that there seems to be a rumor about this library. It is said that there is a book monster here, and it has been wandering around for years after death..."
The Imperial Master smelled the bloody smell, and a sinister light flashed across his eyes before he slowly calmed down, as if he remembered something. He chuckled and said, "It's just a little mouse that can't stand the light of day. There's nothing to be afraid of."
The Minister of Rites was relieved to see his reaction, and then smiled and said: "With the Imperial Master here, naturally no ghosts can cause trouble!"
As the two talked, their voices became quieter.
He must have gone to check other places on the fifteenth floor. Just where there was a wooden board between the two of them, Jian Yue pressed tightly against the wall, breathing carefully to calm his heartbeat.
The female ghost was frightened by something and suddenly crawled into this wooden compartment. Jian Yue was afraid that she would be discovered, so she followed in. This small wooden compartment was actually hidden on the fifteenth floor, and the location was extremely hidden. If she hadn't come in first, Jian Yue felt that ordinary people would probably find it difficult to find it in their lifetime!
Wait until the noise outside fades away.
Jian Yue didn't dare to go out. After all, the room was full of the Imperial Master's men. He could only look around the room and ask, "Where is this?"
The entire compartment's passage was dark and gloomy, and you could hardly see anything. The female ghost came in and then disappeared. Naturally, Jian Yue was the only one left in such a claustrophobic space.
"System, please exchange a flashlight for me." Jian Yue said.
System: "20 points."
Jian Yue: "...Forget it, I have it myself."
The audience in the live broadcast room saw him take out a fire starter from his arms. They didn't even know when Jian Yue installed it. Jian Yue blew up the fire starter first, then tried the oxygen in the space. Looking at the direction of the flames, he could basically confirm that there was definitely an air outlet and a road in this place.
He walked slowly outside.
The surroundings here are quiet and cold, and the only sound you can hear when walking in the passage inside is the sound of silent footsteps.
The female ghost didn't know where she was hiding, and it seemed like she might jump out again at any time, but compared to her, this darkness that could swallow people up at any time was more exciting.
"Where does this lead to?" Jian Yue murmured, "It would be terrible if it leads to the bottom of the library."
But now he has no choice.
Jian Yue gritted his teeth and walked forward. He didn't know how long he had been walking, nor did he know why this road was so long, much longer than he had imagined. Who on earth would have the time to build such a long secret passage in the library?
Slowly.
As they walked, Jian Yue felt a little tired. Moreover, in this secret passage, due to lack of oxygen, he would feel sleepy from time to time.
When he sat down, he felt something painful under his butt. Jian Yue reached out to touch it, but his movements froze. It was a familiar touch, but when it appeared here, he wished he didn't recognize it.
Jian Yue slowly moved away and brought the fire stick closer to the person. The light from the fire revealed a face with white bones.
Corpse.
Jian Yue used a fire stick to look around and saw many bodies lying in all directions, but he couldn't tell what year they were from because they had all turned to bones.
The visibility is too low.
Jian Yue lowered his head and searched carefully. It would be great if there was something proving the identity of the bodies near them. That way, he would at least know who these bodies belonged to. He searched for a long time but found nothing. There was almost nothing on the ground except bones.
The audience also commented:
"There are no clues now."
“This is difficult.”
"There's nothing we can do even if we find the body!"
Just when the audience was discussing what Bai had found, Jian Yue did something no one expected. The man who had been reluctant to give up the flashlight exchanged for one. He held the small flashlight in his mouth, and then used his hands to dig the bones out of the soil bit by bit. As a result, Jian Yue squatted on the ground and looked at them carefully, and even studied them carefully.
"Age... around 20 years old." Jian Yue muttered, and then looked at the leg bone: "There is a fracture. The scars should be caused by a sword. He was chased here and killed."
As he watched, he seemed to be able to recreate the scene.
Jian Yue sat down cross-legged and checked a few more people before coming to the conclusion that this was a group of young men in their 20s who were slashing at each other with swords and then died from their injuries.
Now all that was missing was their identity.
Jian Yue was a little tired after doing all this. He originally wanted to leave quickly, but after walking a few steps, he came back and exchanged a shovel with the system. He dug the original pit a little deeper and buried the bones one by one.
"I'm sorry, I just offended you." Jian Yue clasped his hands together and said, "Rest in peace."
Rest in peace.
He treated everyone he examined with the utmost respect.
After doing all this, Jian Yue really stood up and walked forward. After walking for a while, he finally saw the faint light. He came out of the cave directly and found that this was actually the back of a rockery. There were birds singing and flowers blooming all around, and the scenery was beautiful.
Almost as soon as Jian Yue came out, he heard a strange sound. In the flowers not far away, two familiar people were lying together and making passionate sounds. Jian Yue came out too quickly and the eyes of several people met.
Yin Guiren let out a scream of surprise.
The guard also stood up from the flowers and drew his sword: "Who is it?"
Jian Yue was really convinced. How did he meet these two? He said weakly: "They are our own people, ourselves..."
After seeing Jian Yue, Lady Yin was also convinced. A fierce light flashed in her eyes. Since she had been caught, this person could not be kept. They had to eliminate future troubles! !
Think about this.
Yin Guiren's eyes were red, and she said to the guard: "Kill him, otherwise our secret will be exposed."
The guard was a little embarrassed: "But, he is the emperor's servant. If the emperor knew about it, I would be in danger."
"You have to do this." Concubine Yin almost shed tears. She said, "I... you know, I am pregnant with your child. From now on, as long as I can do things with Your Majesty, this child will be the crown prince and you will be the emperor, so he can't stay!"
Jian Yue: “…”
Not a buddy?
I'm still here, do you two really want to plot so loudly like that?
The guard's expression became hesitant as expected. He looked at Jian Yue with a vicious look in his eyes.
Jian Yue was about to speak.
A group of people came over from a distance, and Jian Yue quickly hid.
The searchers said, "The Imperial Master has ordered a search of this area. Have you seen any suspicious people?"
The guard and Concubine Yin looked at each other. What a coincidence! They were just about to speak.
A golden light flashed in front of Jian Yue:
【Eight Triggers】:
[Rumor: Concubine Yin is indeed pregnant, but she despises the lowly status of a guard and has long been planning to kill the father and keep the son, and rule the country as the queen mother herself!!]
As soon as the words fell.
The guard looked at Concubine Yin in shock, with anger on his face.
Yin Guiren felt guilty and was about to explain.
A golden light flashed in front of Jian Yue:
【Eight Triggers】:
[Rumor: In fact, the guard is not a good person. He thinks that Concubine Yin is actually unruly and looks average. Every time he gets along with her, he feels extremely annoyed, as if he is paying public taxes. However, for the sake of his future in the palace, he has to pretend. In fact, he has secretly arranged a marriage outside, and is preparing to make it a perfect marriage without telling Concubine Yin! ! ]
Jian Yue: “…”
Depend on!
In a sense, how can you two not be a perfect match!
