The Death of Yuhuan (XIV)
Xu Wei didn't want to talk about what happened yesterday after he drank.
Not to mention the thrilling moment when Du Xingye pointed a gun at his head, just thinking back to what he did that night made him feel ashamed to face other people.
Not only did she take advantage of the alcohol to put pressure on Lu Fanye, she also did radio gymnastics on him in order to chat with Man Yue, forcing Zhang Yuan and Li Shaodong to forcibly drag her away while trying to find a way to take Lu Fanye, who was doing radio gymnastics, back with him.
"You really are drunk, sister!" Li Shaodong exaggeratedly yelled a few times and gave her a thumbs up, "Such a scary ghost, and you cried and shouted to sit down and talk with her."
"I don't even know how we got back alive."
"Because Man Yue doesn't want to pay attention to us, she's busy crying," Zhang Yuan saw Xu Wei was so ashamed that she wanted to hide in the ground, so he said, "Xu Wei is drunk, we can't drink the wine here anymore, it's too strong."
"The most important thing now is how to pass the customs."
Qi Xiaopei groaned, puzzled, "There was no portal, and the full moon last night was clearly the truth behind the haunting, wasn't it?"
Even when they came back, Taoist Jiang found that the ghost energy on them had become stronger.
This is damning evidence.
"Could it be true as the rumors say?" Li Shaodong scratched his head, as if he remembered something.
Everyone looked at him, and he said, "I heard from a stall owner at the Player Night Market that some role-playing dungeons have key plot points. Once triggered, or the dungeon time develops to this stage, the subsequent plot will force the player to continue, so you must experience it once before leaving."
"Was it triggered by seeing the full moon last night?" Qi Xiaopei asked.
Zhang Yuan rubbed her head and said softly: "It shouldn't be. I always feel that the key plot point of this copy started very early."
"Long before we found out the truth."
Everyone was silent.
Seeing that they were silent, Taoist Jiang handed the small bag on the table to Xu Wei and whispered, "Someone did come last night. He asked for three silver ingots, and I gave them all."
Xu Wei took the pocket bag, put it aside, and asked: "What did they say?"
"The sachet is Du Qiong's relic. He wore it before he died," he replied.
Then he asked, "Why are you checking this?"
Xu Wei was not surprised. She took out the blue sachet from her pocket bag and stuffed the leaked herbs back in: "Check the relationship between Du Qiong and Lihua. Unfortunately, Lihua still hasn't shown up in this matter. She hid it too well."
"But it doesn't matter now."
Taoist Jiang said, "Oh!" "Did you make any new progress last night?"
Xu Wei: "First, tell me what you bought with that extra silver ingot."
"The servant asked me if I wanted to buy the second lady's story, so I did. He said that the second lady and housekeeper Liu were from the same hometown, and their hometowns were both in Bodi, the hometown of witchcraft. They suspected that the child the second lady was pregnant with was brought about by witchcraft."
This could explain why Du Xingye had been childless for decades, but became pregnant with his second wife.
Zhang Yuan smiled meaningfully: "It seems that it's not that there is not enough, but that there is none at all."
Du Xingye was a romantic man throughout his life and had sex with countless beauties, but he never expected that he would have no descendants.
Xu Wei thought of the Fourteenth Lady, and then thought of the beautiful women in the courtyard: "It might as well be a good thing."
"But none of this matters anymore."
Lihua and Du Qiong, the Second Madam and Butler Liu, and even the Fourteenth Madam and her sister are all side quests in the dungeon. Finding them out may increase your points, but they are not such a high priority for today's players.
Today is the fifth day of the dungeon. It will take at most one more day for the dungeon to be over.
Now they have to make sure they survive before the portal appears.
"Are we just going to wait like this?" After sitting for a while, Taoist Jiang leaned over and asked.
"Why are you so anxious?" Li Shaodong glared at him.
"Yes, Taoist Jiang, why are you so anxious?" Qi Xiaopei asked curiously.
"Didn't I hear you said you were in a hurry to leave? I also want to finish my business early and leave." Taoist Jiang rolled his eyes and explained hurriedly.
"You also want to leave on the sixth day? With us?" Xu Wei asked casually.
"No way!" Taoist Jiang clapped his whisk and said seriously, "I am a Taoist priest. It is my duty to exorcise demons and defend the Dao as soon as possible. After I deal with this evil spirit, I will go home."
"Oh," Xu Wei leaned on the table and looked at him with interest, "How did your master die?"
Taoist Jiang never expected that she would suddenly ask this question and was stunned.
"If you tell me, I'll go out for a walk in a while, and maybe I can leave today." Xu Wei supported his head with his hands, as if he was bored and ready to find some fun.
"really?"
Xu Wei did not comment.
"Well, don't be surprised when you hear that." Perhaps it was because the players were leaving, or perhaps they had gotten closer over the past few days, Taoist Jiang was unexpectedly easy to talk to.
"I...I killed my master."
He told the story slowly and leisurely.
He went to Baiyun Temple at the age of ten and grew up under the care of his master until he was eighteen. All his fellow disciples would send him for all the good things to do, and even his master was determined to pass on his unique skills to him alone.
At that time, he was the unspoken successor of the entire Baiyun Temple.
He thought he would spend the rest of his life in the Taoist temple, but unexpectedly one day, his peaceful life was turned upside down.
It was a rainy night. He dropped the small pendant given by his senior brother on the pillar in front of his master's door during the day. Thinking that there would be activities in the Taoist temple the next day and it would be inconvenient to pick it up, he sneaked in the dark in the middle of the night to pick it up.
It was raining heavily, with thunder and lightning so loud that it covered up all his movements.
He saw the master's shadow in the room reflected on the doors and windows through the candlelight, gradually growing larger until it filled the entire room.
It has a sturdy and ferocious body, a pointed head and a long neck, rough limbs, and a human face in front and back, which opens and closes, revealing fangs in its mouth.
The master spoke to another figure in the room, his voice still deep and righteous.
"Has your junior brother done anything recently?"
The figure bowed: "Master, no."
"That's good. After his birthday the day after tomorrow, he will be well-trained, and I can enjoy a feast."
"So greedy, hahahaha..."
Taoist Jiang's eyes were bloodshot and he returned to the house in a daze. After hesitating for a long time, he planned to sneak out of Baiyun Temple.
But as soon as he stepped out of the main gate of the temple, he heard a rustling sound behind him.
When he turned around again, his master and all his fellow disciples were standing behind him, smiling at him.
This smile revealed their true colors.
A huge shadow looms, with fangs and sharp claws.
All the disciples who used to live in harmony with each other turned out to be monsters.
Taoist Jiang tried his best to kill his master, and escaped from Baiyun Temple while being besieged by his fellow disciples. He found a place to ward off evil spirits and lived there, earning a living by exorcising demons and eliminating evil for the people.
Ten years passed like this until they arrived at the Du Mansion.
"Oh, so the common people are also monsters. You mean that everyone here, except us, are monsters." Xu Wei raised his eyebrows after listening to the story.
"I didn't say that! Don't slander me!" Taoist Jiang turned his butt, not looking at her, with a stern face.
"Isn't it? You said before that you didn't dare to eat the food from ordinary people's homes, and when you arrived at the Du Mansion, you were only willing to eat and live with us, and you didn't even want to wear their clothes..." Xu Wei stood up, walked slowly towards him, with an inquiring look on his face.
"What are you?"
Taoist Jiang jumped up like a rocket, and jumped five meters away from Xu Wei. He hugged himself and said in a trembling voice: "What are you going to do to me? You have no good intentions!"
"Stop prying into other people's private affairs!"
“It’s none of your business!”
"Okay, I won't ask anymore. Don't move." Xu Wei laughed evilly upon hearing that and approached Taoist Jiang again, shocking him so much that he stepped back repeatedly and bumped into the wall, then was pinned down by a wall-bang.
"What are you going to do? What are you going to do!"
"Let me go, I can't move!"
“Help! Help!”
"There's a murder weapon! Ah——"
Xu Wei let go of him in disgust, shook his arms, put away the marker in his hand, and said speechlessly: "I'm just drawing a picture on your face, why are you screaming like a pig being slaughtered?"
"What's wrong with me? Why am I out of control? There's an evil spirit! There's an evil spirit!" Taoist Jiang, with a calico face, stood at attention in fear, then stretched out his hands, drew a circle in the air, and began to mark time on the spot.
“Ready, get ready - one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, two, two, three, four…” The voices in my mind were shouting “fuck”.
Xu Wei sat down and began to admire his masterpiece: "Not bad, it looks better than I thought."
"I told you to stop moving. Dance for another four minutes."
When Taoist Jiang finished his exercises, all the players disappeared.
It is not impossible to wait for the plot to develop on the spot, but that would be too passive and prone to sudden casualties.
It is better to take the initiative to advance the plot, so that the story can end earlier and you can get more points.
Thinking of this, he passed by Du Xingye's yard and saw guards carrying a new corpse towards the back door.
The corpse was wrapped in coarse linen, with disheveled hair, swollen cheeks, and fresh blood on the chest.
It's willow catkins.
Another soul died at the hands of Du Xingye.
The player avoided the guards' sight, went around from the other side, and rushed to the yard of Du Qi and his wife.
Almost all the maids and servants we met on the road were whispering to each other, making faces as they talked, it was quite lively.
Li Shaodong stopped the little maid he was familiar with, pulled her aside, and asked, "What happened?"
The little maid glanced at him shyly and said, "Something happened in Madam Du's courtyard."
"What do you know?"
She was a little hesitant, and Xu Wei handed her the last silver ingot.
The little maid took the silver ingot, looked around and put it into her bag, then whispered: "Young Madam is pregnant. She was fine yesterday, but overnight, her belly swelled up like a balloon, and it looks bigger than her. It's very scary. The doctor said it's quintuplets!"
"Were you talking about this just now?"
The little maid looked around again and said, "Yes, we all said that the young master hadn't come back for a few days, and she suddenly got pregnant with such a big baby. She must have cheated on someone secretly, and this is her retribution, she got pregnant with a ghost's child!"
After saying that, he spat.
"The young master treats her so well, yet he is so shameless. He deserves to encounter something like this."
"What did Mr. Du say?" Zhang Yuan asked.
When the master was mentioned, the maid's expression became awed again: "The master asked her family to take good care of her and said that the young master would be back in the afternoon."
"Afternoon? Is Jiangcheng so close?" Xu Weiqi asked, "Isn't the traffic busy?"
