Chapter 141 Steward Wang! The most courageous man!
Jian Yue complained in his heart, but he didn't dare to ask!
Just imagine, a dilapidated courtyard, an empty path, an old man who looks frail and frail standing at the door, staring at you with his glass-like eyes without blinking, who wouldn’t be scared!!!
Jian Yue's Adam's apple rolled, and he smiled and said, "Then I, I'll go in. Uncle, you can take a rest. You don't need to greet me. I can find a book to read by myself."
The old man slowed down, as if trying to figure out the meaning of this sentence. He waited until Jian Yue could hardly stand and couldn't maintain his fake smile, then he nodded and said, "Okay."
The words fell.
Jian Yue quickly slipped into the academy.
Although this small courtyard looks shabby, the house is unusually clean and tidy. The books on the shelves are neatly arranged according to categories. In fact, such empty shelves are the easiest to accumulate dust, but when Jian Yue took a closer look, there was no dust on the books.
This means that the books on this bookshelf are basically always organized and cleaned.
Is that the old man who was guarding the yard just now?
Jian Yue's current task is to find out what happened to the puppet-controlling clan back then, but he has no specific clue, so he can only pick a book from the bookshelf to read.
《Control Puppet Knowledge》
Jian Yue was quite interested in the name. He took out the book and flipped through it. The book recorded some small methods for making puppets, from how to choose the wood, to how to polish the puppet, the size of the puppet, and the maintenance of the joints.
The last step is the finishing touch.
The book states: "In puppetry, the eyes are particularly important, as they represent the soul of the puppet. They must be made from the green grass seeds that the puppeteer has planted with his own blood."
When seeing this, Jian Yue was shocked. It turned out that this was the real effect of Green Heritage Grass!
The encyclopedia of plants on the boat did not record this at all. No wonder Ji Huaiyu said it didn't matter even if it was stolen. It turns out there is no essence in it!
If the puppet wants to have a soul, it must use its own blood to grow green grass, and then use the green grass to add eyes to the puppet.
Then why do directors use green herb to make food for people to eat?
I was flipping through a book out of boredom.
suddenly--
Jian Yue looked out the window and saw an old man sweeping the floor with a broom. He paused turning the pages of the book as if an idea had suddenly occurred to him.
A somewhat terrifying guess entered his mind, causing him to sit up involuntarily.
Once the green grass is eaten into a person's stomach, it will suck blood from the person's stomach. If the person dies, the green grass will be taken out of his body and installed on the puppet...
Wouldn't that be the finishing touch?
It's a living puppet.
When Jian Yue thought of this possibility, his whole body froze. It was a hot summer day, and he felt cold all over.
The system panel was refreshed at this moment: "The progress of the main quest, The Secret of the Miraculous Doctor, is 63%!"
The progress has increased.
Jian Yue was holding a book. He was originally sitting by the window, but now he put the book down. He seemed to have lost his strength and ability for a moment. He just sat there quietly, recalling the blogger who posted the message to promote green grass.
The green grass seeds he planted with the hope of getting back together with his girlfriend turned out to be a deadly weed that made him despair.
He must have been very desperate when he later asked for help under the post.
Now his girlfriend's identity has been taken over by a player, which proves that his girlfriend is dead. Aya's task is to find out the secret of the miracle doctor behind the Green Herb and stop it. This means that the boy's girlfriend's last wish before death is to find out everything.
A human life is spent just to add the finishing touches to the puppet and make it come alive.
This miracle doctor has a really big secret.
The audience in the live broadcast room was also a little excited:
"The progress bar has gone up."
"Butler Wang has probably guessed it."
"Shouldn't he be happy that the mission is progressing?"
"Maybe he was thinking about the blood debt behind the Green Legacy Grass."
"The puppet show is too bloody."
"That's why we need more and more people to enter this instance and find the core to shut down this world. This is why even if many people sacrifice themselves, there must still be people who continue to fight."
This is also why.
As long as there is a copy being broadcast live, the players who are idle in the lobby will choose the copy to watch. As long as there are still players in that copy, it means that the copy has not been permanently closed.
If it is not closed, it means that in the future, countless taskers may be teleported to this copy, people will still sacrifice, and blood will still be shed.
That's why.
Players who can complete a dungeon to 100% progress often receive the richest world rewards.
Because that is the real benefit in the present and for future generations.
Jian Yue, who was highly expected by the audience, was unaware of the audience's sighs. He was distracted for a moment and then collected his attention and continued reading. After all, he had not forgotten what his mission was. He had to find out the truth about the extermination of the idol-controlling clan.
"There's no way these books have records on their pages." Jian Yue sighed after finishing a book, "It'll take a long time to finish reading all the books in the room."
He was just about to put down the book in his hand.
Suddenly I saw the last few pages of the book. On one of the pages, the characteristics of the puppet were recorded in detail. The book clearly wrote: [The appearance of a skilled puppet looks no different from that of an ordinary person. The only flaw is the eyes. The appearance of the puppet can change slowly over time, but the eyes will not.]
The eyes don't.
Jian Yue looked at the old man outside the window. If he was a little uncertain before, he was now 100% sure that the old man was probably a puppet.
He remembered that Ji Huaiyu had told him that most of the tribe members had passed away, but many of their puppets survived. Even after the death of their masters, the puppets were unwilling to leave and remained in the room of their former masters to guard the room.
This book says.
Although the puppets can move and are alive, they do not actually have much intelligence. They only recognize one master in their entire lives, and that is the master who fed the Green Heritage Grass with his blood, created them, and gave them life.
Jian Yue looked at the old man in the window and murmured, "If this is true, and they don't have much wisdom and the world is very simple, then wouldn't they be unable to understand death, and therefore would they always stay and linger in the place where their master lived before?"
The audience in the live broadcast room were shocked when they heard this:
"I'm so smart by him."
"learn by analogy."
"He has almost guessed a small part of the truth that will be revealed later!!"
Jian Yue continued reading.
He was almost done reading the book, the last page, and he only saw the last sentence of the book. Most people might not pay attention to it at all, but he still saw it.
The page reads: "According to ancient records, the puppet master left behind a masterpiece that was the most exquisite puppet that was almost indistinguishable from a living person. It was made from the core of a sacred tree and was the king of all puppets in the world."
Jian Yue raised his eyebrows slightly.
So powerful?
Does a puppet that is indistinguishable from a living person mean that its appearance and IQ are the same as those of a living person?
Isn't this against the will of heaven?
Moreover, the book says that because puppets are made of wood, most of them can live for hundreds or thousands of years without getting hurt, and it is the king of all puppets in the world. According to this logic, all puppets in the world will obey its orders.
If this puppet were still alive...
Could the secret of the miracle doctor be related to him? After all, if it was the king, even if he was not the owner of the Green Hermit Blood, the puppets would still listen to him, right?
Jian Yue's brain was working rapidly.
Just thinking about it.
The cell phone rang.
He came back to his senses and answered the phone. It was an unfamiliar number. Xiaoyun called and said, "Butler Wang, don't you want to see the miracle doctor? There is a welcoming banquet for the crew tonight, and the miracle doctor will also be there. Remember to come on time. This is your only chance!"
It's really like searching for a needle in a haystack.
He just wanted to confirm.
Jian Yue quickly said: "Okay, Brother Yun, I will definitely go, remember to save a seat for me!"
Xiaoyun hung up the phone in annoyance.
Jian Yue did not make a fuss. After all, Xiao Yun, the medicine-taking guy, was probably feeling upset right now. But since there was a banquet in the evening, he also needed to change his original plan for the evening and had to tell Wang Wenwen and the others about it.
Put the books back on the shelf.
Jian Yue walked outside, waved to the old man who was sweeping the floor and said, "Uncle, I'm leaving now. I'll come back tomorrow!"
The old man was silent for a moment because of Jian Yue's familiarity. They had been here for too long and had never spoken to anyone. For a moment, they didn't know how to respond.
Jian Yue had already left with a smile on his face.
Not far from the house, he found the small hotel where Wang Wenwen and Aya were currently staying.
Aya was having dinner with them in the hotel lobby. When she saw Jian Yue, she waved, "Butler Wang! This way!"
Jian Yue came over and sat down and said, "The little restaurant here is pretty good."
"Yes." Aya smiled and said, "This town is a well-known tourist resort. The local residents are well-known for their exquisite wood craftsmanship. Many tourists come to visit every year."
Jian Yue said: "The puppet masters here a hundred years ago, the local residents must be very good at doing these small jobs, after all, the real unique skills are more amazing."
Wang Wenwen said: "That's right. If tourists see their puppets with real special skills, who would dare to play with them?"
Aya handed Jian Yue chopsticks and said, "You are wrong. I found some information before that the puppeteers of the puppet control clan are very friendly and kind. They were like friends of the local residents back then."
Wang Wenwen and Nangong Xi were sitting at this table, and next to Aya was Li Lele, the SSR-level gold card newcomer from their guild.
Jian Yue was also familiar with Li Lele, the one who rescued the small animals and obtained the healing gold card. He also helped him treat the mentally ill crew member on the ship.
Jian Yue did not hide it and said, "I also looked up some information this morning about the puppet man..."
He briefly explained it.
Li Lele is a soft-hearted and kind-hearted boy. He immediately showed an expression of pity after hearing this. He said: "Those puppets are so pitiful. After their masters passed away, they could only stay in the place where their masters lived before they died, constantly wandering around. They may not even know that their masters are dead, and they are still waiting."
Others echoed.
Nangong Xi looked at Jian Yue who was eating and asked curiously: "Butler Wang, aren't you sad?"
Jian Yue said while eating, "Why should I be sad? If it were me, even if I was sane and knew that my master was dead, I would still stay here and wait for him. But I might not just wait for a while. As long as there is a one in ten thousand chance, I would find a way to save him."
"But when a person dies, it's like a light goes out." Wang Wenwen sighed and said, "I'm afraid there's nothing we can do about it."
Aya smiled at the newcomers and said, "Once you leave the dungeon, you will find that the nightmare world is full of strange things. Back then, we in the Moon Realm..."
As she was speaking, she suddenly stopped talking, her expression becoming somewhat solemn.
The others looked at her curiously.
Aya said, "It's nothing, eat quickly. I'll tell you what's happening outside after you all successfully leave the dungeon!"
The newcomers had no choice but to suppress their curiosity.
The audience in the live broadcast room started discussing:
"Is it about the return of spring?"
"Has anyone else used it in all these years?"
"The point is that Spring Returns to the Earth hasn't returned to the card pool yet!!"
"Where on earth did this card go?"
"The person who uses him is also a lunatic."
"How dare you discuss such things? Those big guys in the flower world don't allow anyone to mention him. If you do, they'll go crazy. If they catch you, you'll be dead!"
People in the live broadcast room were discussing heatedly.
Several people sitting in the hotel eating were discussing the next plan.
Jian Yue said, "I will go see the miracle doctor tonight. I was originally planning to check the room of the person who had the accident last night, but I'm afraid I can't go. That room must be checked as soon as possible, otherwise many traces may be erased."
Aya said, "Then I'll go. I wasn't invited to the dinner anyway."
Wang Wenwen was a little hesitant.
He was too scared.
After seeing that kind of thing with his own eyes, that room has become a psychological shadow on him.
Nangong Xi said, "Well, I'll go with you, Sister Aya."
Aya was a little surprised: "You are not afraid anymore?"
Nangong Xi's face was pale, but she still smiled and said, "I'm scared, but I'm more scared if I'm left alone at night. I'll feel better if I'm with you. Besides, you and Butler Wang are really working too hard, and I don't want to hold you back."
She had just learned from Aya that she was the person who came into this copy specifically to save people.
Nangong Xi was a very sensitive and smart girl. She immediately guessed that Jian Yue might have come in just for them.
I have already received too much kindness.
She didn't want to continue being a coward and a burden, she had to cheer up.
Wang Wenwen said: "Well, I'll go too."
Everyone looked at him.
The second-generation rich man Wang Wenwen smiled sheepishly. He said, "My invisible card can help you retreat if you are in danger."
Aya said, "That's great. This way we'll be safer. But you, Butler Wang, will go to the banquet alone..."
There might not be much danger at the banquet, but the real danger lies in those people in the dark who might be the extinct monsters.
Jian Yue said calmly and calmly: "If you really want to attack me, you guys are useless. What's more, if you all gather together at the banquet, the doctor will be more wary of me. It's best to act separately. What's more, if there is anything, I have a trump card."
Aya and others looked at him with admiration.
Jian Yue glanced at the text messages on his phone asking the young master whether he wanted to go to the banquet, and the text messages begging the young master to go later, and nodded with satisfaction.
The audience in the live broadcast room laughed:
"Ahahaha his trump card."
"How can Butler Wang rely on himself for everything?"
"The trump card is his thigh."
"This is indeed more useful than any number of cards!"
Jian Yue put away his phone.
Li Lele whispered beside him, "Butler Wang, why don't you take me with you? My healing card probably won't be of much help to Sister Ya, but if there's a special situation at the banquet, I can help. My card can heal any injury."
Jian Yue nodded and said, "Okay, but your most important task is to observe the food at the banquet to see if there is any green grass."
Li Lele remembered it.
櫫Ｕ
Rhino U
After everyone had discussed it, they separated.
Time passed quickly in the small town. The banquet was held in a large restaurant in the town. The director was quite wealthy, so he booked the entire place and even decorated the open space outside, which could accommodate thousands of people.
It is even brighter at night.
Most of the extras and some of the cruise ship staff were there, but more of the actors and actresses, who were dressed in jewels and gems, did not take the cruise ship. Instead, they came here in their own private jets many days ago. These are all well-known figures in the entertainment industry.
But even so.
These people cannot hold a banquet at the Ji family’s ancestral home, so they can only eat here.
Wei Yu took Jian Yue's hand and walked in, saying as they walked: "This time, many second- and third-tier celebrities came, as well as some tourists from the town, and many wealthy wives and young masters from rich families. They came here for the reputation of the miracle doctor."
Jian Yue said: "It seems that the miracle doctor is very famous."
Wei Yu smiled and said, "Of course, this is no secret in the circle of wealthy families. Miracle doctors can cure all diseases. What the wealthy people lack is never money, but capable people."
When he walked under the street light, Jian Yue glanced at Wei Yu's face.
Haven't seen you for a few days.
Wei Yu's condition is getting better and better. When she was in the dressing room that day, her face was pale and she had dark circles under her eyes, and she looked like she had aged a lot, but now she can be said to be radiant.
It is worth mentioning.
In the past two days, Jian Yue rarely saw Wei Yu's husband and Sister Hong, and among the puppets at night, Jian Yue did not see Wei Yu and the other puppets come out to look for food.
Jian Yue looked at Wei Yu thoughtfully and said, "It seems that Sister Wei Yu, you also recognize the ability of the miracle doctor."
Wei Yu smiled, she took Jian Yue's hand and said: "Sometimes whether you agree or not depends on how you think. The miracle doctor can only hand the prescription to the person. As for how to treat it, whether to treat it or not, and whether the treatment is good or not, it depends on the individual."
Jian Yue pondered over these words and smiled.
Two people went in.
As a queen of her generation, Wei Yu still had her own status and attracted a lot of people's attention as soon as she entered.
Everyone had different expressions when they saw Jian Yue.
You know, Actor Ji also came today, but he came with Xiaowen. Everyone was laughing behind Jian Yue's back, saying that Jian Yue was so embarrassed that her boyfriend brought someone else to the party, and she must have been too embarrassed to come.
But I don't want to.
They came, and they came with the queen.
There is actually not much difference in status between the movie emperor and the queen of pop in the circle. The only thing that makes movie emperor Ji more powerful is his family background, as he has the support of the Ji family behind him.
But there is also someone behind Butler Wang!
While on the cruise ship, an actor probably pushed Butler Wang. Although Actor Ji didn't care, the actor was punished the next day. Upon inquiry, it was found that it was Mr. Ji who gave the order.
Okay.
What else is there to think about? Even though she doesn’t have a boyfriend to support her, she has her parents to support her!
Wei Yu smiled and said, "Let's go to the front. The miracle doctor is here today. It's not easy to talk to him. We may not be able to get in line."
Jian Yue said: "Brother Xiaoyun promised to take me to see the world."
Wei Yu was a little surprised: "Why is he so kind all of a sudden?"
Before Jian Yue could answer, Xiao Yun came over from a distance. He had been staring at Jian Yue, afraid that Jian Yue would come into contact with other people and then reveal that he was a medicine-taking guy!
Xiaoyun came over and grabbed Jian Yue and said, "Why are you here just now? Come with me!"
The onlookers around gasped!
What a big melon!
Actor Ji’s boyfriend came with the queen, and then the popular young actor took the initiative to go over to him, took his hand, and took him to the banquet!
Awesome! That's awesome!
Butler Wang! He is truly the most courageous man!
Everyone looked at each other and started to calculate in their hearts how many green hats Ji Huaisheng had.
Jian Yue followed Xiao Yun forward and soon saw someone in the innermost box. The man sitting in the center of the sofa was wearing a white robe. He looked a little chubby, and his eyes narrowed when he smiled. He was talking to a jewel-covered woman in front of him.
The woman cried and said, "Really, miracle doctor, can you really cure me? That's great. As long as you can cure me, I can pay you even a few billion and a zero!"
The doctor stopped her: "Madam, don't be like this. We who cultivate our minds don't talk about money, we only talk about fate."
The woman was so moved that she burst into tears.
The miracle doctor looked towards the door, through the crowd, and met the gaze of Jian Yue behind him. He was obviously also puzzled. There were so many people in the room, but when Jian Yue came, he seemed to be touched by something and looked over instantly.
Eyes met.
Jian Yue looked into his eyes and smiled, but the smile did not reach his eyes: "I have heard of your name as a miracle doctor for a long time. I asked Brother Xiaoyun to introduce me to you and come to see you."
The doctor narrowed his eyes, smiled slowly and said, "My friend, you are so polite. It is fate that we meet. Come and sit down. I think you two are very compatible."
Xiaoyun was a little surprised. She didn't expect that the miracle doctor would really like Jian Yue.
Jian Yue walked over to the miracle doctor and sat down carelessly.
The doctor was not annoyed. He looked at Jian Yue and said, "My friend, please come to see me. Are you feeling unwell?"
Jian Yue said: "I haven't been sleeping well recently, can the doctor help me?"
Everyone else was stunned.
There are so many people who come to see the miracle doctor, and each of them has important matters to do with the heavens. You come here because you have trouble sleeping? ! Isn't this a provocation? !
Then the doctor smiled and stretched out his hand and said, "Of course, I can take your pulse, young man?"
Jian Yue nodded and extended his hand to him generously.
When the two people put their hands together, they looked at each other meaningfully, and at the same time, thousands of waves were stirred in their hearts, and the same thought emerged at the same time:
Depend on!
It's really a ghost!
