Chapter 39: Rescue the Wronged Soul
"Li Shanren, take your time to say, what's going on? Tell me so that I can help you."
Seeing that Li Shanren seemed to be a little anxious, Li Qingyu quickly comforted him. Hearing Li Qingyu's words, Li Shanren calmed down, gently leaned on the bed, closed his eyes and thought for a while, and then continued to say, "I just heard the housekeeper Li Er say that this time it was the young hero who invited Niu Daochang to do it again, so that the fishermen in the city could rest for a while. I think the young hero is also a person of cultivation. I hope that the young hero can help the old man, who is willing to send all the family wealth to the young man.
Hearing Li Shanren's last words, Li Qingyu's eyes couldn't help shining, but in a flash, he couldn't help but deeply despise himself. It seemed that he really had too much contact with Zhao Hua and was infected. He shook his head and threw those empty-headed ideas out of his mind: "Li Shanren is too polite. You don't have to talk about this kind of thing. However, I'm curious, what does this have to do with you?"
"Oh, don't mention it. It's all an old mistake to talk about this. All responsibilities are caused by me. Two years ago, Lao Wang and I went to Haizhong Aolai to buy goods. This is a year. A year ago, we came back by boat. Originally, Lao Wang said that he was docking at another wharf, and then went to Xuanyuan City to sell a batch of goods first. But I was anxious to go home, so I said to Lao Wang, stop the boat in the East Bay first, and I'll go home and have a look. So in this way, we stopped the boat in the East Bay. Speaking of this, Li Shanren shook his head, as if he was very regretful of his original decision.
After half a day, Li Shanren continued to say quietly, "Although the East Bay Pier is relatively prosperous, because there are often reefs and whirlpools, most of them are big boats, and small boats like us rarely go here. But it was okay when I came. Nothing happened. When I got home, I put the goods at home, took out some of the accumulated goods, and planned to sell the backlog of goods first. When we were ready to set out again, we met an old man at the seaside. The old man told me that it was risky to go to sea this time and gave me a jade pendant. Lao Wang doesn't want to say that this kind of thing can't be true.
I usually believe this statement, so I gave the old man ten taels of silver. The old man told me that although it was dangerous to go to sea this time, I was fine. However, there will be a big trouble in a year because of the knot. Only the predestined nobles can resolve this disaster. Otherwise, I will die in my life. Now it seems that the young hero is my nobleman.
Saying this, Li Shanren was about to kowtow. Li Qingyu quickly held him and did not let him salute, but continued to ask, "What happened to you after meeting the old man?"
"Well, that's all right, I'll say it all. This is also the reason why I have been blaming myself. As soon as our ship left the port, there was a typhoon in the sea. In order to avoid the typhoon, our ship accidentally touched the reef when it rotated.
"Oh, this is really a blessing. Misfortune doesn't come alone." Hearing Li Shanren's words, Li Qingyu also seemed to remember some of his experiences and couldn't help sighing.
Li Shanren also sighed: "Oh, who said no. At that time, we both fell into the sea. I was holding a big wooden barrel and saw him near me in the wind and rain. He kept calling my name. He couldn't swim. Originally, I wanted to go there, but suddenly I felt an inexplicable fear around me, and a huge attraction appeared. At this time, the jade pendant on my body gave off a trace of brilliance, which made my body and wooden barrel much more stable. I saw Lao Wang being attracted by the water and sucked into the whirlpool, but I didn't dare to go there again, because if I saved him, the barrel might not be able to support the weight of the two people, so I pretended to be in a coma. Until his voice gradually disappeared. Well, it's really a sin to think about it now..."
Speaking of this, Li Shanren lowered his head and looked chagrined. Li Qingyu didn't know what to say. Although the other party is an NPC, the emotion brought out of his body also made Li Qingyu feel a sense of depression in his heart. Yes, at this time, how can he tell right from wrong? Saving people is righteous, but it is very likely that both of them will be killed. If they are not saved, they will regret for the rest of their lives.
"I was swept to the beach by the waves on the second day and survived. I have always felt guilty and entrusted someone to bring a lot of belongings to his family every month. Who knew that he didn't forgive me? He must have known that I deliberately pretended to be in a coma and ignored him. Because just one month after the seawreck, there were haunted rumors at the seaside. So I hire a practitioner every year to hope to surpass him, but it has never worked. Does he hate me so much? If you want revenge, come to me. Why do you harass the people of Jianye? They are not sorry for him. Why do you let the people in the city die for me? What kind of evil is this? So I want to ask the hero to find him and ask for me how to stop him. As long as I can do it, I will do it. Even if I have to pay for his life, I am willing to save at least tens of thousands of fishermen in the city from harassment and threats.
Looking at Li Shanren's regrettable appearance, Li Qingyu sighed in his heart. Li Shanren is as famous as he is, and he is indeed a kind-hearted person. Although it's really not his fault, she has borne so much and is even willing to pay for it.
Thinking of this, Li Qingyu couldn't help but resent the Wang Shang. Since you are dead, you will be reincarnated at ease. Don't you know that Li Shanren takes care of your family so much? Li Shanren is right. Why do you want to harm innocent people? It seems that I should go to the sunken ship to explore it. It's better to get rid of the people in the city: "Li Shanren, don't worry, I'll do this matter. Tell me the address of the sunken ship.
"In that case, thank you very much, Shaoxia. On behalf of myself and the people of Jianye City, I would like to thank Shaoxia for his life-saving kindness." Hearing Li Qingyu say that he wanted to help, Li Shanren thanked him tremblingly, and then two system prompts came to Li Qingyu's ear.
System Tip: Congratulations to the player Yu Luoyuan for completing the task of saving Li Shanren, gaining experience +15000 and getting silver coins +50.
System Tip: Does the player accept the task of rescuing the wronged soul? ( Intermediate task, current difficulty: D)
Save the wronged soul? Is there an unspeakable secret of the sunken ship? Seeing the name of the task, Li Qingyu couldn't help but be slightly stunned. Open the task prompt, which says to let Li Qingyu go to the bottom of the shipwreck, find the wronged soul of the king merchant, and successfully surpass the reincarnation.
"Oh, it turned out that he was reincarnATED. Well, this is also a kind of rescue." Thinking of this, Li Qingyu turned to say goodbye to Li Shanren and came to the East Bay again from the East Gate. When I came to the East Bay, I went straight to the wharf. As expected, it was very lively. Many large ships were constantly transporting and unloading goods, and some strong people of Jianye City worked here.
According to the address provided by Li Shanren, Li Qingyu spent 5 silver coins and hired a boat. Because he tried and sneaked in the water, it was a little too slow. After walking for two minutes, he walked less than 300 meters away.
In the boat, I soon came to the site of the accident. There was still the tip of a sail standing on the surface of the water. It seemed that the sea was not too deep. Because the mast is only 20 or 30 meters at most, and with the height of the hull, it is absolutely no more than 50 meters. It seems that this place is still close to the beach. How could there be a boat capping? He jumped into the water and looked carefully. He didn't find the so-called reef, which made Li Qingyu suddenly suspicious of Li Shanren's words. Do you think that NPCs will also deceive people?
After diving into the bottom of the water, it was not long before he came to the edge of the sunken ship. Seeing this ship, Li Qingyu was speechless for a while. Li Shanren's words were really polite. Is such a boat a small boat? It is similar to some real merchant ships, with a length of nearly 50 meters from head to tail and a height of more than 20 meters.
But think about the big boats on the dock that are hundreds of meters long and four or five stories high. This boat is indeed a little small. It seems that the things in the game can't be measured by real things.
After stepping into the sunken ship, I found that although the ship was much smaller than the ship on the dock, it also had three decks. I wandered around the room along the passage for a long time, but I didn't find the so-called ghost. Li Qingyu was a little puzzled. Could it be that the ghost was not in the boat? But the task tip is to let yourself into the sunken ship to save the wronged soul.
Thinking of this, Li Qingyu set his goal again and continued to look for it in the boat. Have you searched the whole first floor? Enter the second floor. In the second floor, there are almost all goods, sprinkled all over the ground, with cloth and satin, as well as some precious jewelry and some medicinal herbs. But without exception, all of them went into the water, and most of them were destroyed. Even those jewels have lost their former luster.
I turned around the second floor, but still didn't. When I walked to the innermost part, I found that there was also a small passage, which was on the lower three floors. As soon as he arrived at the entrance of this passage, Li Qingyu suddenly felt a cold wind coming from below, and Li Qingyu couldn't help shivering. Immediately, the goal was confirmed, and it must be in the third floor.
Thinking of this, Li Qingyu did not delay. He jumped into the three layers with a ssh, and at the same time, his blade was also shown in his hand.
After entering the third floor, I looked up and saw that there were only three rooms here, with several bookcases and two beds on the front. It seemed that it might be the place where Li Shanren and others lived when they went to sea. In front of the bed, there is a table and four benches. Next to the table, there is a dark shadow floating. If you look carefully, it is a fierce ghost.
"Are you the king merchant? Li Shanren has something for me to convey to you.
As soon as Li Qingyu finished speaking, he saw the fierce ghost raising his head, and his eyes emitted a bright cold light, and the two green lights were terrible. Then Li Qingyu found that his task had changed.
System Tip: The player's Yu Luoyuanfeng triggered the task of eliminating fierce ghosts. ( Intermediate task, current difficulty B)
Li Qingyu has done the B-level task before, which is invincible in the East. For this level of task, Li Qingyu also felt a little pressure and looked up at the attributes of the fierce ghost, which made him take a deep breath.
