Chapter 24 Gun King Valley
While Shen Shiyan sat down on the wooden chair, he quickly looked at the senior above and quickly scanned all the decorations of the cabin. On the wooden chair above, there sat a gray-haired old man in his sixties. Although his temples were white and his face was slightly old, his eyes were shining, and his faint smile also had a very infrightening temperament. He also had a slow and long breath and a full and slightly convex temple, showing his deep internal cultivation. .
As for the whole cabin, although the decoration is extremely simple, a picture of taming leopards in spring was seen above the predecessors. The picture depicts a leopard's head and eyes, a tiger beard, eight feet long and a majestic general. The general is riding on the back of a arrogant golden leopard king. He grasps the abdomen of the leopard. Not only was he not scared by the fierceness of the golden leopard king, but he domineeringly tamed the unruly golden leopard king. . Shen Shiyan guessed in his heart: Presumably, the protagonist in this picture is mostly Lin Chong. Looking at the wall on the right, the wide thick-backed knife bound by eight thick ropes, Shen Shiyan immediately knew that his master was also this senior and must be a first-class master in the knife.
At this time, the gray-haired old man also quickly swept over Shen Shiyan's whole body and quickly understood all the information of the latter. At the same time, a fine light flashed in his eyes very quickly, but said with a smile: "Brother Shen's strength is not weak! Ha ha, I didn't expect that you, a level 3 free novice, also have a lot of secrets, which is really beyond my expectation. However, what surprised me more was that when you were plotted by Sun Fei just now, you were able to calmly face the sudden approach of the lightning leopard leader. It seems that you are not afraid of life and death.
Hearing the gray-haired old man commenting on himself like this, Shen Shiyan was not happy and shocked, and his heart jumped: My dear! This NPC won't see the secret of my light helmet and Kobayashi's flying knife, will it? In that case, I'm afraid it will be very bad. You know, all kinds of NPCs in Tianmen, while being given a certain IQ by the system, also play the responsibility of supervising each player for the system. If the gray-haired old man in front of him reports his two secrets, I don't know if the system will judge me as suspected of using plug-in help and so on. However, when Shen Shiyan thought of entering the game for the first time, the system did not express any objection to his carrying Xiaolin flying knife, that is to say, the system did not find that he was a reborn person, so he could take Xiaolin flying knife into the game.
But to be safe, Shen Shiyan asked the gray-haired old man nervously: "Ha ha, the senior praised it. However, senior, you said that you can see through my strength, but I don't know what it means? For example, the equipment in my package..."
The gray-haired old man seemed to see Shen Shiyan's awkward look and inner nervousness. After laughing, he gave an answer that made Shen Shiyan half of his mind: "Huh? In fact, our NPC has no way to check your players' packages. However, I just saw some strange things above your attributes, so I thought that you may have some special equipment. So I took a closer look at a few pieces of equipment on your body and found something different. However, you can rest assured that your data is in a normal state and will not be reported to the system host.
Subsequently, the gray-haired old man reported the name of Shen Shiyan's equipment one by one. After listening to the other party's report, Shen Shiyan was completely relieved: it turned out that he only saw me or equipped with green or above, but he did not know the secret of Xiaolin's flying knife and light helmet. However, it is no wonder that these two things were brought after rebirth. I'm afraid that even the host of Tenglong Group may not be able to find out their secrets. Thinking of this, Shen Shiyan regained his previous calmness and continued to talk to the gray-haired old man.
I only heard the gray-haired old man introduce himself: "My surname is Cao Mingzheng, and people in the world call me 'the knife-driver'. Lin Chong, the chief of the 800,000 forbidden army in the Song Dynasty, was my ill-fated master. Twenty years ago, just because the master Lin Chong accidentally broke into the White Tiger Hall and was assigned to the border by Gao Yu and Lu Yuhou, I had to follow him everywhere. When the 108 heroes of Liangshan made a scene in Shandong, I also followed the master and was on standby at any time. But later, after the failure of the uprising, the master's whereabouts were unknown, and I had to find this secret valley to live in seclusion, and this seclusion was a whole decade..."
Speaking of this, when Cao Zheng's expression was moved, tears were slightly soaked in his eyes. Obviously, when he remembered these past events, he also touched some ** places in his heart.
After a while, he continued to say, and his tone inevitably showed all kinds of care for Lin Chong's life and death: "For ten years, I have also inquired about the whereabouts of the master through some relationships. Some people said that he was paralyzed by the wind and recuperated in Jiangnan; others said that he had already died in the battlefield and had not even recovered his bones. Others said that he repeatedly advised the leader of Song Jiang not to blindly work for the Song court. Unfortunately, Song Jiang, who was pedantic and still thought to be loyal to the court, not only did not listen to such suggestions, but also had some xenophobic considerations for the master, so that the master was not reused all year round, and finally ended up in an unknown place. However, it was not until recently that I got a piece of news from Zhao Tianshi in Dali City that his master was still alive and just lived in a secret place in Jinling City.
Speaking of this, Cao Zheng deliberately paused, sighed for a long time, as if telling the truth to Shen Shiyan, and as if to say to himself: "Ten years of life and death, where is the teacher so far? The little apprentice has the intention to repay the teacher's kindness, but he is Duan Wang. Little brother, do you know why I haven't personally gone out of the mountain to find my master Lin Chong in the past ten years? Ha ha, ha... It's ridiculous that Cao Zheng used to call himself the only apprentice under Lin Chong. Even if he can't learn the peerless shooting skills, there is also a way to the 18th style of 'ask the sky knife' that can become famous all over the world. It is only today that I have to admit that I am really cowardly. Duan Yi and others, the second prince of the Duan family in a single area, can actually make me dare not act wantonly and can only hide in this Gun King Valley for these years..."
Speaking of this, Cao Zheng made a few more self-deprecating remarks.
As the listener, Shen Shiyan is the right time to try to sort out the clues.
From coming to Gun King Valley just now, to really entering this cabin, from entering the cabin, to carefully observing the furnishings in this house and the expression movements of NPC Cao Zheng, Shen Shiyan has not yet heard the content of this trip to Gun King Valley. His heart has already begun to calculate: Looking at such a posture, it seems The task given to me by Cao Zheng is definitely not a simple thing. After all, it is related to the mystery of the life and death of Lin Chong, the king of guns, and the enmity between Cao Zheng and Duan Yi.
Shen Shiyan thought to himself that this senior NPC really had a great relationship with Lin Chong, the king of guns. At the same time, when he saw Cao Zheng talking with an excited face, he immediately recalled the many deeds of the brave and resourceful "leopard head" Lin Chong in Water Margin, and then in front of himself. In response to the two encounters, they couldn't help but feel the same, and immediately comforted Cao Zheng: "The world only knows the glory and pleasure of heroes, but they don't know their shame and pain. However, who is the real steel man and who can be truly strong and unyielding? Boy, take the liberty to speculate that Elder Cao, you must still be very much thinking about the gun king Lin Chonglin. However, please take care of Elder Cao and believe that Elder Lin Chong will not be in danger easily.
Hearing Shen Shiyan's words, Cao Zheng recovered a little from his sadness. At the same time, he looked at the player who seemed to be less than 20 years old in surprise. A few seconds later, he returned to the topic and said, "I didn't expect that Brother Shen could say such a profound truth at a young age. Yes! The people only know the prestige of my teacher when he killed everywhere, but they rarely think about the pain that he misses his mother every night. People think that steel-like masters never shed tears and give in. But they have ever thought that there is actually a very soft place in the heart of any man. Every time the master comes down from the battlefield, the first thing he does is not to return to the cottage to show off his achievements, but to immediately issue an order to let his brothers return home and meet their wives and children. As if talking to a friend in reality, Shen Shiyan took over and said, "Senior Cao is right. Which man has no painful experience and growth behind him? Presumably, it is precisely because of the experience and self-understanding of the alternation of battlefield and love that your master Lin Chong, can break through the original restrictions step by step and step into a higher level of shooting skills. And you may hold the idea that he must charge with Lin Chong's predecessors again and fight against the battlefield again, so you can live safely in this small valley for so many years.
Speaking of this, Shen Shiyan deliberately glanced at the thick-backed knife on the wall. Naturally, his obvious action could not hide Cao Zheng, who was far stronger than him, and a satisfied smile appeared on the corners of his mouth.
At this time, Cao Zheng returned to his original look, and the previous emotions were swept away. He solemnly said to Shen Shiyan, "Brother Shen's words are enough to show your extraordinary opinions. So, now there will be a very important task entrusted to you. I don't know if Brother Shen has the courage to take over? After saying that, Cao Zheng looked at Shen Shiyan in front of him with an expectant and provocative look. At the same time, the system prompts: player Shen Shiyan, Gun King Valley NPC Cao Zheng is going to appoint you to open the plot task of the eight snake spears of the Lin family. Are you willing to accept it?
Shen Shiyan thought to think about it: Lin Chong was a quite powerful war master in the Song Dynasty, and most of the plot tasks released by his apprentice would also have a lot of oil. However, Shen Shiyan did not agree immediately, but first looked carefully at the following task description: the plot task is divided into three steps. The current step is the first step, and the next step needs to be completed before it can be opened. The first step is to enter the fantasy of martial arts to find the virtual body left in Cao Zheng's memory under the guidance of Cao Zheng, and help it break through the first prohibition of the fantasy. The first task reward is that the player gets 16,000 points of experience points, 15 blood elixir and qi elixir each, the relationship value with Lin Chong increases by 500 points, and the task prop "Unopened Lin's Eight Snake Spear" to start the second task.
Looking at this generous reward, just completing this first step of the task can reach level 4, and Shen Shiyan happily agreed. Then he entered a gray space under Cao Zheng's transmission. This gray space is the fantasy of warriors who imprisoned Lin Chong's virtual body. An eight-foot-long leader with a leopard's head and eyes is holding a snake spear to fight against many demons!
