Chapter 2161 Fortune Telling

"I'm having trouble. If that Tai Sui really grows and grows in the Snow Mountain Zhucheng, then it will become our biggest nightmare! Because although the Snow Mountain Zhucheng is a bit barren, it is enough for Tai Sui to eat for a while. If this Tai Sui really grows without limit, then it may become bigger than our Feicheng! At that time, it doesn't have to do anything and runs up to the top of Mount Tai, and then a city will become history!"

Taishou Han said worriedly: "And Yu Lei, you just said that this Tai Sui can complete some evolution after devouring certain creatures, such as gaining movement ability; since it can evolve into legs, it means that it is also possible to evolve and move. If we want to fight with it in close combat, we may not be able to beat it."

"I think so too. If the Tai Sui turns all the legs into hands, it will be Wanshou Guanyin! If it learns to use weapons again, even the top masters dare not approach it casually, because there is a saying that two fists cannot beat four hands, let alone the Tai Sui has more than four hands... But what's even more troublesome is that even if we use a siege crossbow on the Tai Sui, the effect will probably not be too good. At most, it will change from scratching and tickle to poking it with a needle."

Yu Lei touched his chin and said, "Although we were guarding against Yu Weiran, we had no way to deal with this Tai Sui for a while, because we, the martial arts masters from the Central Plains, went to Zhucheng, Snow Mountain. The first difficulty we encountered was not adapting to the environment of the mountain. After all, it was not only cold, but also the wind was strong, which could make you feel difficult to breathe! In addition, there was a god near Zhucheng, the God of the Mountain. This god also highlighted a moody and often caused a blizzard without warning, and occasionally gave you a bolt from the blue."

Liu Xing, who was sitting next to him, could only nod his head silently at this time, but he was thinking in his heart that this Tai Sui was the ultimate boss in the martial arts module this time? Of course, the martial arts module here refers to the initial internal test version, that is, after players like Ayi complete their main mission, they may trigger the hidden mission to attack Tai Sui, because Tai Sui is hiding in the snow-capped city in the north, which is far from the Central Plains where players are active.

However, Liu Xing felt that the Cthulhu running group game hall was quite conscientious and he would not arrange players to go to the snow mountain to feed the Tai Sui, so this Tai Sui will most likely stage a drama of "Tai Sui going to the Tianshan Mountains".

So this will most likely turn into a tower defense game, allowing players to snipe this Tai Sui near a city.

However, in today's martial arts module, this Tai Sui should still be a hidden task, and it is a hidden task with extremely harsh trigger conditions. Players need to go to the Snow Mountain City in person to find a way to let it appear and find a way to bring it back to the Central Plains. Only then can it trigger the hidden task of striking Tai Sui before the end of this martial arts module!

So although Liu Xing has heard a lot of information about Tai Sui, he has not activated the corresponding task. However, what surprised Liu Xing the most was that the Warcraft Illustrator did not activate new content.

Is this Tai Sui not a monster?

Liu Xing thought about it carefully and found that this Tai Sui might not be a monster, or he misunderstood the meaning of the monster at the beginning and simply compared the monster to a mythical creature. However, the problem is that monsters have one thing that has not been proven, that is, they may all be artificial products, and it is some Frankenstein in the martial arts world that transformed the existing creatures into this kind of monster with special abilities.

A creature like Tai Sui who already possesses special abilities but has not been captured for transformation cannot be classified as a monster.

Moreover, in "Liu Peng"'s memory, Tai Sui's appearance rate in various folk stories is actually not low, but most of the Tai Sui in these stories are used as a treasure of nature, and occasionally appearing as a villain is also used by the protagonist as a stepping stone.

However, Tai Sui in these stories and Tai Sui in Yu Lei's mouth have a lot in common, so Yu Lei called the unknown creature Tai Sui.

"Anyway, I will tell the third prince about this matter. If possible, we have to let the fourth prince stationed in the north send someone to Zhucheng, Xueshan, to determine what kind of existence this monster that has not yet revealed its true face. If it is really that Tai Sui, we must let Zhucheng of Xueshan to solve this Tai Sui, at least we cannot let it eat and evolve so unscrupulously."

Yu Lei took a sip of tea, shook his head and said, "If people have no long-term plans, they will have immediate worries. This Tai Sui is actually quite far away from us, and it will be impossible for a while to leave the city of Snow Mountain and come back to cause trouble for us. I don't know if this Tai Sui holds grudges. If I hold grudges, I suspect it may be ruthless against me. After all, I almost burned it to a fire back then."

"Yes, the biggest problem now is Kowloon's fight for the throne."

Prefect Han said bluntly: "In fact, some time ago, a fortune teller in Feicheng ran to the mountains to live in seclusion overnight because he calculated that the situation of the Nine Dragons fighting for the throne this year will appear!"

Fortune teller?

Liu Xing looked at Han Taishou with some confusion, because in the memory of "Liu Peng", there was only the title of fortune teller, and as for fortune teller, he had never heard of it.

Because in this martial arts module, any profession that can bring a "teacher" with a suffix is ​​of some origin and has some connection with the School of Juzi. For example, the novelist Liu Xing met when he was in the West City. Although it is almost no different from the storyteller common in restaurants and teahouses, they tell stories to others, the novelist can call himself a "lecturer" after graduating from the School of Juzi and can receive a salary of no more or less in the city where he lives.

So in a sense, the lecturer in the martial arts module this time is equivalent to the host on the TV station, and Storyteller is an ordinary anchor on various live broadcast platforms!

As for why the storyteller is called "storyteller", the main reason is that the "sir" corresponds to the "teacher", so this can be considered a traffic jam.

Of course, if some storytellers have professional abilities that can surpass ordinary lecturers, then if they are still young, they can join the School of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and become novelists. If they are too old, they can still call themselves lecturers.

So Liu Xing thought that the fortune teller that Han Taishou mentioned was simply understood as an advanced version of fortune teller, but Liu Xing had never heard of any school related to fortune telling in the School of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

"Fortune teller, I didn't expect there would be a fortune teller in Feicheng."

Yu Lei was a little surprised and said with some emotion: "I haven't met a fortune teller for many years, but what do those fortune tellers say? You can only say nothing in front of a real fortune teller. So, Taishou Han, do you know this fortune teller? Can you introduce me to him?"

It seems that this fortune teller has something to say.

"How to say it, he is my old friend."

Taishou Han smiled and said, "You know that Yu Lei, a real fortune teller will have more or less to do with the three and five defects. And the more times you tell fortunes, the more serious his three and five defects will be. So my friend had already washed his hands a few years ago and stopped telling fortunes for outsiders because he didn't want to get involved in more cause and effect. It is precisely because of this that he would move into the mountains and forests overnight, and he was afraid that His Highness the Third Prince would send someone to find him, and then the cause and effect would be difficult for him to bear."

"That's true. I remember when I first arrived at the palace, there was a very young fortune teller in Liangcheng at that time. Even His Highness, the third prince, regarded him as a guest of honor. As a result, this fortune teller did not have a glory for too long. He was turned into coke by a bolt from the blue in broad daylight! Because he told fortunes for many people in those years, this cannot be described as revealing the secret of heaven." Yu Lei sighed.

"This is also the reason why there are not many fortune tellers now, because real fortune tellers know that every time they tell fortunes, they are equivalent to strolling around the gates of hell! And even if it is not the huge cause and effect related to the Nine Dragons' throne, they may have the life of the fortune teller. My friend has lost one hand for more than ten years, and the reason why he became like this is that he had a whim to tell the fortune to the child who passed the 100-day banquet next door. And because he drank a few more sips of wine and heard a few compliments, he said a few more words."

Taishou Han sighed and shook his head and said, "Even if this child doesn't have much variable in the future, my friend hit his head when he went home and fainted on the street. As a result, he encountered several wild dogs who were crazy about hungry."

"Hiss~"

Based on the context, Liu Xing could imagine what happened to Han Taishou’s friend. The scene made people feel numb when they thought about it.

"According to normal circumstances, my friend must have lost his life, but in the end he just lost such a hand, which means that this is really God's arrangement, and a small punishment and great warning was given to my friend! So from then on, although my friend was still telling fortunes to others, he only counted for a while, and only counted for such a thing, so he had not encountered any major problems in recent years."

As soon as the prefect Han finished speaking, Liu Xing couldn't help asking: "Prefect Han, since you said that your friend had calculated the battle for the throne of the Nine Dragons, then this cause and effect alone would not be something he could escape from hiding in the mountains and forests, right? Besides, he told you about this matter, so he was not worried that he would encounter any beast, or even monsters?"

As soon as Liu Xing said this, when Taishou Han was about to say something, his face suddenly became serious.

The speaker was unintentional, and the listener was intentional. Just before Liu Xing could react, Han Taishou stood up and said, "Sorry, I have to go and see my old friend now, because something really might happen to him!"

After saying this, Prefect Han hurriedly left the living room.

At this time, Yu Lei also reacted and frowned and said, "Apeng, you really may have come true! Because the earth-moving insect yesterday may not have passed by Feicheng by chance, but came to Taishou Han's friend!"

After hearing what Yu Lei said, Liu Xing realized that the earth-moving insect yesterday might have come to this fortune teller, because the earth-moving insect has not been to Feicheng several times in recent decades!

"Fortune teller, he is indeed going against the will of heaven."

Yu Lei sighed again, looked at Liu Xing and said, "I heard from my master that although there were not many fortune tellers decades ago, there were also double-digit fortune tellers in big places like Liangcheng, and there were also one or two fortune tellers in small places like Feicheng. Nowadays, fortune tellers are basically disciples and disciples of these fortune tellers, but they have only learned a little bit of fur, because fortune tellers are more talented than those of us martial arts practitioners. After all, they need to communicate with the world and know yin and yang!"

"But as time goes by, these fortune tellers have gone away due to various accidents, so the remaining fortune tellers have encountered some accidents, either because they lacked arms and legs, or they became lonely, so they understood that this was all punishment for leaking the secrets of heaven! After that, the number of fortune tellers became smaller and smaller, and most of them lived a seclusion life, and were not very keen on accepting disciples. So the youngest fortune teller in my impression is also true and knowing the destiny of heaven."

Forty is not confused, fifty is aware of destiny.

Although the average life expectancy in this martial arts module is much higher than that of the dynasties in history, it is also supported by those who practice martial arts, so there are not many ordinary people who can reach the age of fifty.

It can be seen from this that this fortune teller has become a real "sunset red" profession.

"So in the past two years, I can be sure that the fortune tellers who are still here may be able to count them with one hand, and they have all started to live in seclusion, and even the third prince cannot invite them out of the mountain!"

Yu Lei shook his head and said, "Actually, a month ago, when the third prince heard that His Majesty was ill in bed, he invited these fortune tellers to write a fortune for him. As a result, these fortune tellers did not come whatever you said, and the third prince had no choice but to do anything about it... But, when I went back to Liangcheng last time, I heard that two fortune tellers had died suddenly in the past few days. It seems that they still couldn't help but write a fortune. As a result, even if this fortune teller was not revealed to outsiders, they could not bear the cause and effect."

Just as Liu Xing was about to say something, another task came to his door.

Fortune telling!
