Chapter 41: What a humanized beast!
Scarface was shocked when he saw Jian Yue running towards him.
He subconsciously took a half step back and asked Wen Yu behind him, "Is this a trick?"
Ever since he was tricked by Jian Yue next door last time, Scar Brother has learned a lesson and even started to ask Wen Yu's opinion before taking any action.
Wen Yu said: "It is indeed possible..."
It’s not that she doesn’t want to analyze it, it’s really... Butler Wang is a cunning person, and his behavior cannot be thought of using a normal person’s brain circuit. But if you think using his brain circuit, you will be pulled to the same level as him, and then be defeated by Butler Wang with his years of experience.
The two people were talking.
Jian Yue had already walked down the stairs.
The incandescent lights in the whole room were on. He stood below, holding the photo in his hand, looking up at the people above. He leaned against the railing and smiled and said, "Brother Dao, what brings you here?"
Scarface snorted coldly and said, "Since you are unwilling to share the information with us, we found it ourselves!"
"Brother Dao is really wise!" Jian Yue smiled and said, "There is indeed a lot of information down there, do you want to come down and take a look?"
The yellow talisman papers around moved without wind. As Jian Yue's words fell, a faint echo could even be heard in the entire empty room, making people feel a little colder on their backs.
The group of people who had been somewhat arrogant just now suddenly hesitated.
Brother Dao narrowed his eyes and said, "Is there something underneath?"
"Nothing." Jian Yue said, "It's just that these photos and materials seem to have curses. If you are afraid, you don't have to come down."
He said seriously.
Otherwise the system would accuse him of cheating later.
Scarface's expression changed, and he whispered to Wen Yu: "The strategy guide doesn't mention the real laboratory. Is what this guy said true?"
Wen Yu was also a little unsure. She said, "We don't really know what's down there, but the Wanfu Village dungeon has never had 100% plot progress for so many years. It's said that the first person who can close the dungeon will randomly get an SSR-level item..."
The temptation was too great for them.
You know, on the market, the more precious the items, the more useful they are, because they can save lives at critical moments, especially the items given away after the copy is closed. Generally, only big guilds have them, and they are not circulated in the market at all. The survival time outside the copy exchanged for an SSR-level item is enough for them to enjoy a good life for a long time.
Jian Yue asked doubtfully: "Brother Dao, Sister Wen, aren't you coming down?"
At the beginning, it was Brother Dao and the others who were arrogant. It should have been Jian Yue who was afraid that they would come down. But now the situation has completely reversed. It is Cheng Jian Yue who is urging them to come down, and it is Scarface and the others who are scared.
Jian Yue even smiled and said, "There are so many clues here!"
Scarface was sweating profusely. He said to Wen Yu, "Is it really okay?"
The audience in the live broadcast room also had some concerns:
"I think this time it's more dangerous."
"They've been fooled once, how could they be fooled again?"
"If the anchor can't find someone to share the burden, he will be dead."
"It's too difficult. I think it's hopeless..."
Everyone was discussing, thinking that there was no hope, but unexpectedly -
Wen Yu said, "But there doesn't seem to be any ghosts behind him, Brother Dao, is it possible that he said that on purpose because he doesn't want us to go down?"
A word awakens the dreamer!!
Scarface felt that Jian Yue was too scheming at this moment, and actually thought of such a way to scare him! !
Then Jian Yue saw Brother Dao walking down the stairs with a clang of his feet, saying as he walked: "I have seen all kinds of storms and waves over the years, so why would I be afraid of these ghostly talismans? These are just to scare ghosts, can they really take my life?"
Jian Yue: “…”
Seeing Brother Dao coming down, Jian Yue said, "Then I'll leave?"
Brother Dao learned his lesson this time. He said, "No, you can't leave. If there is a trick, you will die with us!"
The other members of the archaeological team behind him also looked over.
Among this group of people, Jian Yue saw Wang Kun, Tiantian’s boyfriend.
Wang Kun and Jian Yue's eyes met, and Wang Kun looked away guiltily. Jian Yue didn't blame him. After all, he was just a newcomer and couldn't change Brother Dao's mind.
Brother Dao and Wen Yu walked not far away, came down the stairs, and began to look at the photos around them.
Wen Yu was a little surprised and said, "There really is information."
"This is much more than what's in the guide!" Wen Yu said excitedly, "Maybe we can really close this instance!"
The other archaeologists were also very excited and even praised:
"Brother Dao is still wise."
“This should have been done a long time ago.”
"Can we get out of here alive?"
"Brother Dao, I bow down to you!"
Everyone was talking about it.
Suddenly someone asked, "Is there one missing?"
In the last column of photos, there was indeed a missing photo. Scarface immediately turned his head to look at Jian Yue, and saw that Jian Yue was indeed holding a photo in his hand. He walked over quickly and sneered, "Butler Wang, I was wondering why you were so generous to let us down, but it turns out you were hiding something. Give me the thing!"
Jian Yue said: "This thing has Ji Feng's curse, are you sure you want it?"
Scarface came down and found that there was indeed information here, and no ghosts appeared. He was sure that Jian Yue was just trying to scare them, so he immediately stepped over and said, "Butler Wang, your little tricks are useless to us. We are old players who have experienced many dungeons. You are looking for the wrong person if you want to trick us. Don't think we will leave if you say that. Do you think we are all three-year-old children!"
Before Jian Yue could say anything, the photo in his hand was snatched away by Brother Dao.
Then Brother Dao saw the words behind the photo.
Jian Yue heard the system's announcement: "[Ji Feng's Curse] has been shared. Curse details: Your survival time limit has been refreshed to 48 hours."
Brother Dao must have heard the system's voice as well. He froze in place, his face looking as ugly as if he had eaten shit.
Wen Yu, who was behind him, asked in confusion: "Brother Dao, what's wrong?"
Scar Brother looked pale and speechless, and then he saw Wen Yu also took the photo. Then Jian Yue heard the system's announcement again: "[Ji Feng's Curse] has been shared. Curse details: Your survival time is refreshed to 72 hours."
Hearing the system's announcement, Brother Dao was a little upset.
Scarface shouted angrily, "Butler Wang, why didn't you tell me earlier that this photo contained a curse? How dare you harm us?!"
Jian Yue said innocently: "I told you a long time ago. If you don't believe me, ask them. They heard it all."
Several people: "..."
The three of them were silent for a moment.
The audience in the live broadcast room laughed like crazy when they saw this:
"Hahaha, Brother Dao, you..."
"Eat every failure and then you'll learn from it."
"I will pay my respects in advance."
"Hahaha, how did Butler Wang do it? No matter what he said, others would think he was lying."
His eardrums were about to shatter. He was about to speak when Wang Kun, who had been standing not far away, suddenly ran over. He stopped in front of Jian Yue and said to Scarface, "Brother Dao, Butler Wang did say that."
Brother Dao choked for a moment, and his hands were shaking with anger as he pointed at Jian Yue.
Jian Yue came out from behind Wang Kun. He didn't want to implicate others with his own affairs, so he said with a smile: "Brother Dao, I took you to find Ji Feng's laboratory. You did get a lot of information. You wanted to come here on your own, and I didn't lead you here on purpose, so I really don't know how I could harm you."
Brother Dao was in the wrong, so he said, "Butler Wang, this curse will only last for three days. We must cooperate."
Jian Yue said: "Brother Dao, do you have any ideas?"
Brother Dao confessed, "To be honest, we have found out the information. This mountain god is the source of everything. The villagers of Wanfu Village used ancient evil magic to obtain the power of immortality bestowed by the mountain god. In ancient times, there was a magic weapon that could suppress this ferocious beast, and this magic weapon was hidden by the villagers. We must find it in the last few days to leave the dungeon alive."
Jian Yue asked: "Do you have any idea?"
Wen Yu's expression was very serious. "Not yet, but we have searched the entire Wanfu Village during this period of time and found that the layout of the entire village is actually a Bagua diagram, and it is a Bagua diagram that can only gather souls in and not out. According to the positions of the map marked by Li Meng for us, there are four array eyes in total. These four locations are the ancestral hall, the village chief's home, the archives, and..."
She was silent for a moment.
Jian Yue raised his eyebrows and asked, "Shen family?"
Wen Yu was a little surprised: "You know?"
"I don't know." Jian Yue said, "I'm lying to you."
Wen Yu: "..."
Scarface couldn't help but come over and say, "When we were fighting the female ghost in the archives, we found a bronze conch hidden in the wall on the second floor. We have a general idea of the magic tools in the ancestral hall and the magic tools hidden in the village chief's house, but the magic tools of the Shen family..."
Jian Yue narrowed his eyes slightly: "You guys live in Shen's house every day and still can't find it?"
Wen Yu choked up and said, "I don't know why the plot has gone haywire. None of my heroine's plot has progressed. Originally, the Shen family's magic weapon should have been the easiest to obtain. I heard that it was a family heirloom that was only passed down to the daughter-in-law. But now Mr. Shen won't even see me. This magic weapon..."
A family heirloom?
Jian Yue thought, if Shen Yushu really told him about this and cheated on him, he would be in real trouble. But wasn't he Shen Yushu's wife? Why had he never told him?
Young Master, you won't be looking at the pot while eating from the bowl! !
Damn! He has become a spare tire! !
Wen Yu's voice came from not far away: "Butler Wang, you are the president's butler, and your relationship is the closest. This magic weapon can only be given to you."
Jian Yue was stunned for a moment, and he pointed at himself: "Me?"
"Yes." Wen Yu sighed and said, "To be honest, according to the original plot, there is a plot where we run away with the ball. Now I don't know how to proceed. Mr. Shen... won't go with me. I don't have a ball to run with. If this plot doesn't work, I probably won't be able to get this magic weapon. Then all of us will die here!"
Jian Yue thought to himself, wow, what else is there in this copy of the novel that I don't know.
But now it seems that the heroine's script accidentally let herself go.
But he is a man! How could he run with the ball? But if Shen Yushu and Wen Yu were to follow the plot now, he...he would not be able to accept it.
After all, if Shen Yushu was dating someone else, where would he eat his strawberry smoothie bowl?
Wen Yu said: "Butler Wang, although this task is a bit difficult for you, we have no other choice."
Jian Yue came back to his senses and said, "The task you mentioned is indeed very difficult. The matter of the Shen residence has always been difficult to handle. In fact, I didn't want to get involved in this matter, but I am somewhat responsible for the curse you suffered today. Since you said so, Captain Wen, I will give you face and try to look for it reluctantly."
Wen Yu and Scarface were both delighted and said excitedly, "Butler Wang, don't worry. Once you find it, we will definitely not treat you unfairly! From today on, if you have any needs, just let us know and we will fully cooperate!"
The audience in the live broadcast room were dying of laughter when they saw this:
"Hahaha, he even managed to get in."
"Hermione, would you rather suspect that there is something wrong with the plot than suspect Butler Wang?"
"It's typical that even after being sold out, he still has to help Butler Wang count the money."
"It's always the case that people take advantage of others, but when it comes to Butler Wang, it's the Tian Gang who's taking advantage!"
After Jian Yue discussed with them, he left.
He had already found everything that could be found here, and there was no point for him to stay here. To be honest, he could only believe half of what Wen Yu and the others said and doubt the other half. He still trusted his own eyes more for many things.
Jian Yue returned to the house quite early.
After all, this is the only thing he does during the day. It is only a little after two in the afternoon. In the bedroom of Shen's house, Shen Yushu is taking a nap. He worked too long last night and did not get enough rest.
After Jian Yue came back, he simply washed up and went to take a look at his bedroom.
I originally wanted to leave.
When Shen Yushu saw him coming back, he pulled him to the bed to sleep together. Jian Yue was also a little sleepy. He was scared enough in the secret room, so he simply fell asleep in Shen Yushu's arms.
When I woke up again, it was already four o'clock and it was almost dark outside.
When Jian Yue got up, he found Shen Yushu sitting by the window, processing some documents on his computer. He sat up and said, "Master, why didn't you go back to the study?"
Shen Yushu said with a noble and cold expression, as if to say, "You annoying little devil, there's really nothing I can do to you." "When I left, you held on to my clothes and wouldn't let go. When I pulled at the corner of my clothes, you cried and called my name while crying. How could I leave?"
Jian Yue was shocked. Does he have such a weird habit when sleeping?
I remember when he was first adopted by his grandparents, his grandmother once said that he would have nightmares as soon as he fell asleep, crying and calling someone's name, but he couldn't remember it after waking up, as if nothing had happened. His grandmother said that he must be missing his parents. In fact, Jian Yue had no memory of his parents, as he was abandoned when he was born.
Shen Yushu snorted and said, "Butler Wang, you can't be so clingy anymore, you know? I have a lot of official business to deal with every day."
Jian Yue quickly said: "I'm sorry, Master. Then I..."
"You can only do this once a day at most!" Shen Yushu said, "No more than that. I have a bottom line too!"
Jian Yue: "...Okay, Master."
Seeing that he had woken up, Shen Yushu said, "It's good that you woke up. Last time you asked me to check the information about your ghost painting, my people sent it back to me."
What the hell is this?
Jian Yue looked at the computer screen and discovered that it contained information about the mountain god statue. Wait, I drew it very well, but the young master really has no aesthetic taste at all.
Shen Yushu didn't know Jian Yue was complaining about him yet, so he said, "You guessed right, this mountain god statue is indeed an evil god from ancient times. Its origin is hard to trace. My people checked many ancient books and found no information about it. But in one book, they found a record of a ferocious beast that is very similar to its description."
Jian Yue came closer and saw that the picture of the ferocious beast on the computer was drawn by himself. There was also another ancient painting next to it, which showed a nine-tailed beast that was completely snow-white. Even though the styles of the two paintings were completely different, similar shadows could still be seen.
There are also annotations below:
"In ancient times, there was a spirit beast that loved to eat souls. It would only eat two of the seven souls, leaving the one that was alive to lose its soul and mind."
Jian Yue said: "That's a very literary way of saying it. To put it another way, does it mean that it eats people's souls? But it's very picky about food and doesn't like to eat them all. It only likes to eat two flavors. So people don't die immediately, but will slowly lose their minds later?"
The audience in the live broadcast room laughed at this explanation:
"Although the words are rough, they are too rough."
"How can I be afraid after hearing this explanation?"
"Butler Wang, you are capable of summarizing things."
"Hahahaha, it's indeed true!"
Shen Yushu said: "It seems that this is the secret to longevity."
Jian Yue thought for a moment and said, "But that's not right, Master. If he has lost his mind, I see that the villagers are all fine and not irrational."
If two of the three souls and seven spirits are lost, then the person has been unconscious all the time. How can he be conscious during the day but not at night? This is totally unscientific!
Jian Yue always felt that something was not right.
Shen Yushu sneered and said, "There's more below."
Jian Yue quickly looked down and saw the information written on it: "The spirit beast is extremely ferocious. Wherever it goes, no grass grows. In ancient times, people set up four magic tools and a large formation to suppress it under the mountain in order to lock it up and stop it from committing crimes. Since then, the world has been peaceful."
Four magical instruments and a large formation.
The things in the information suddenly became the same as what Scarface and the others said.
The system panel suddenly popped up: "The main quest [The Secret of Wanfu Village] has a plot progress of 70%."
Mission progress!
Could it be that...
Is it true that the way they want to complete the task is to find these four magical instruments and deal with the ferocious beast again during the mountain god sacrifice?
Jian Yue always felt that something was wrong. He said, "Master, since this beast is so ferocious and the Taoist priests in ancient times were so powerful that they could suppress it, why didn't the people who found it destroy it completely, but just suppress it under the mountain?"
Shen Yushu was dealing with company matters. Hearing this, he sneered and said, "If you were this Taoist priest, you could kill something but didn't, and insisted on keeping it. Why do you think that is?"
Jian Yue thought about it, and an idea came to his mind. He blurted out: "Because I think it's still useful!"
Can kill, but don’t kill.
We must suppress it.
Because immortality is what people always pursue, those who stayed in the magic circle became residents of Wanfu Village, and they enjoyed immortality from generation to generation.
I am sorry for what I have said.
Depend on!
Jian Yue glanced at Shen Yushu.
I thought an atheist like the young master would definitely say there was nothing to guess about. It seems that after the young master has been with me, his mind has become more open. I am so smart!
Shen Yushu also glanced at Jian Yue.
Butler Wang is always talking nonsense. Now that we have finished guessing with him, I guess he can take a break. If he is happy later, maybe he will kiss him again. He is so smart!
The two people looked at each other meaningfully.
Right now.
Suddenly someone knocked on the door.
Shen Yushu said: "Come in."
Aunt Zhang came in with a bowl of smoothie strawberries and said, "Master, you need some."
Shen Yushu pointed to the table and said, "Put it here. I don't have much of an appetite today. Wang Guanjia, the village party secretary, has been working day and night on the flood these past two days. Let him eat."
Aunt Zhang looked at Jian Yue with a very meaningful look, as if she was resentful that a pig had dug up her own cabbage. She placed the bowl of strawberry smoothie in front of Jian Yue and said, "Butler Wang, eat it while it's cold."
Jian Yue quickly said: "Okay, okay, thank you Aunt Zhang!"
He continued to look at the messy information on the computer, trying to extract a small amount of useful information from the large amount of nonsense. Aunt Zhang, who was not far away, did not leave immediately. She was cleaning up not far away.
Jian Yue ate his bowl of smoothie while watching. The strawberries in Wanfu Village were really delicious, sour and sweet, big and juicy. He had eaten them once a few days ago and wanted to eat them every day. Next time he would have to see what kind of strawberry they were and whether he could introduce some and grow some for himself.
Just thinking about it.
The computer suddenly flipped to the bottom and saw a line of very small words: [Those whose souls are taken away by spirit beasts lose their five senses, including the ability to give birth to life. However, in the deep mountains where spirit beasts haunt all year round, a kind of fruit called berry grows. The fruit is bright red, sweet and very delicious. After eating it, life can be given to all.]
Damn, what a humanized beast! !
Not only did he take away other people's fertility, he also gave them some fruit to solve their urgent needs!
Jian Yue looked at it with some emotion: "This fruit called berry is so magical. What does it mean that it can give birth to life? Can anyone do it? There are such magical things in the world!"
He said, swallowing his smoothie bowl.
Suddenly, I asked Aunt Zhang out of curiosity: "Aunt Zhang, what is this strawberry called? Why is it so sweet?"
Aunt Zhang slowly raised her aged body and said, "Oh, this is what you are eating. I picked it in the back mountain. The young people in the village love to eat it."
Jian Yue: “…”
