Chapter 130: Chapter 130 The Widow's Trigger Mechanism
There are two big houses in the backyard of the blacksmith shop. The one on the right is the living area of the blacksmith, and on the right is the warehouse where ironware is piled up.
The skinny middle-aged man first took Li Xianzong and others to the warehouse full of ironware. When they pushed open the door of the warehouse that had been sealed for a long time, a rusty and dull smell came to their faces.
Li Xianzong stepped over the threshold and entered the warehouse, sweeping his eyes steadily across the warehouse.
There were all kinds of torture instruments in the warehouse, including razors, steel needles, pliers, branding irons, shackles, tiger benches, etc.
Li Xianzong narrowed his eyes. This was different from the "torture instruments" of the perverted woman Yichuanmei. The things in the warehouse were used to torture people, real torture instruments.
Most of them were covered with dust and rust, and some were brand new, as if they had just been made.
"Why would a blacksmith have so many torture instruments in his warehouse?"
The speaker was a sturdy young man with ordinary features and a rebellious face. He was not a good person at first glance, but a brave and aggressive young man.
But this kind of temperament is common in evil professions. The only feature of this young man is that his left ear is missing, as if it was cut off by a sharp blade.
The skinny middle-aged man said:
"Not only that, if you look carefully, these torture instruments are new and old, and that blacksmith Wang is still making torture instruments."
As he said this, the skinny middle-aged man picked up two razors, one rusty and the other with a sharp blade.
"He is forging torture instruments repeatedly and meaninglessly!" Li Xianzong gave a final judgment.
The young man with the missing left ear frowned and said, "What is the logic behind this NPC's behavior? Or is this just a meaningless setting, no need to pay attention to it?"
At this time, a man in a suit and leather shoes said in surprise:
"Look what I found."
Everyone looked over and saw that he was holding a dark red steel nail, about two inches long, and the dark red was dried blood.
Li Xianzong's eyes flickered slightly, and he took the steel nail from him. After a few seconds, a message appeared:
[Name: Cursed Nail]
[Type: Consumable]
[Function: Soul Erosion]
[Introduction: This steel nail once pierced the heart of a strong man. Before she died, her resentment was entangled in the steel nail to form a curse. All those who were pierced by the steel nail will have their souls cursed and die. ]
[Note: I curse you, and curse you to die like me. ]
"A very powerful consumable." Li Xianzong said, "It makes sense, doesn't it? After killing a powerful elite monster, we should be replenished with some powerful items."
He looked around at everyone and said, "I'll keep this consumable. Is that okay?"
The team members shrugged.
Evil professions believe in force, and the strong are respected. Once their identities are confirmed, they have a solid right to rule. Those who are dissatisfied can challenge, but they must be prepared to pay the price of their lives.
In lawful professions, voting or discussion is inevitable, and the discoverer must agree.
Then, Li Xianzong and others carefully checked every torture instrument and ironware, and no more props and consumables were found.
Then, the group left the warehouse and walked towards the house where Wang the blacksmith lived.
"Squeak~"
Li Xianzong pushed open the wooden door and carefully observed the scene in the room.
There was a bed made of blue bricks by the window, a square table in the middle, and a wardrobe facing the bed.
After searching for a while, they found an account book in the wooden box where clothes were stored.
Li Xianzong, the captain, opened the thread-bound book, glanced at it, and looked at his teammates and said:
"Who knows traditional Chinese characters?"
The account book was written in traditional Chinese characters, and the handwriting was ugly. Li Xianzong found that his cultural level was not enough to support him to complete the reading.
Traditional Chinese characters. The evil professions looked at each other and fell into silence for a while.
The man in a suit stepped out and said:
"Let me see it."
Li Xianzong breathed a sigh of relief and gave the book to the other party.
The man in a suit looked at it for a long time and smiled:
"This is the income and expenditure details of the blacksmith shop. I know who those torture instruments were sold to. It was a man named Zhao Yuanwai."
He immediately said:
"But the number in the account book is not consistent with what we see. There are too many torture instruments in the warehouse, far exceeding the number ordered by Zhao Yuanwai."
Li Xianzong frowned when the number was wrong.
He vaguely sensed that this was information, information revealed by the copy to the spiritual realm walker.
Li Xianzong had experienced an A-level copy, otherwise how could he be called a genius? The more difficult the copy, the more it tests the ability of the spiritual realm walker.
A lot of information needs to be dug out by yourself.
Li Xianzong told his teammates about his thoughts. The skinny middle-aged man thought for a moment and said uncertainly:
"I have a guess, but I'm not sure. That blacksmith Wang seems to be cursed. I smelled a hint of curse from him."
The skinny middle-aged man explained:
"Curse is the ability of the witch and sorcerer at the saint stage. I haven't reached that level yet, so I can't guarantee it. In addition, this is a faction confrontation copy. It is normal to have a curse. It's not surprising."
"Curse." Li Xianzong sorted out the information and concluded: "Curse him to keep forging torture instruments?"
He didn't hesitate for too long and announced:
"Leave here and find Mr. Zhao. He should be our next target. We have to complete the side quest before the lawful camp."
"Xiu'er, Xiu'er."
Zhang Yuanqing walked on the street west of the town and shouted at the top of his voice: "My Xiu'er, where are you."
Queen Guan Ya and others followed Zhang Yuanqing silently.
While observing the surroundings, the queen quietly asked the mixed-race beauty beside her: "Has he always been so arrogant?"
She has always been very curious about the legendary Yuanshi Tianzun.
After a short time together, she found that this famous guy did not have the arrogance and coldness of a favored child of heaven, nor was he humble and gentle.
He was talkative and lively, and could talk about anything and anyone.
And she did not dislike such a personality.
Guan Ya said, "He just joined the Five Elements Alliance. In less than a week, he has become very familiar with his colleagues in the team. You know Fu Qingyang, right?"
"Of course I know. He is a true child of destiny." The queen touched the silver ring on her earlobe and smiled:
"It is said that he is very handsome, but very cold and difficult to get along with. There are not as many female colleagues who admire him as Lingjun of Taiyi Sect, but they are all very loyal."
Guan Ya tilted her head and glanced at the bright and generous female colleague, and said:
"It is that Fu Qingyang. They all like him very much. When he sees Yuanshi around, Fu Qingyang talks a lot."
The queen was shocked and sighed: "Is this the so-called genius appreciating each other?"
"No, Fu Qingyang just likes to listen to Yuanshi's flattery."
"."
At this time, Huode Xingjun said irritably: "Does Widow Xu really live nearby? Could it be that Wang Po is deceiving us?"
They have been looking for half an hour, and Zhang Yuanqing's throat is about to break, but the legendary Widow Xu has not appeared.
If we can't find it, it means that the mission will be difficult to proceed.
At this time, the sun was scorching, scorching the ancient town. After walking for half an hour, everyone was sweating and had to take a break in a dark alley.
Li Chunfeng leaned against the old white wall, fanned himself with his hands, and said:
"Did we miss any information?"
Missed information? Zhang Yuanqing lowered his head and thought, went through the details in his mind, and found nothing missing.
Well, not feeling it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. If I trigger my old illness, I should be able to recall all the details, but it's not worth it.
Guan Ya stood next to Zhang Yuanqing, and after a few seconds of silence, she said:
"No, we didn't miss any important clues. Widow Xu's information only appeared twice, once when Wang Po mentioned her address, and the other time was the scarecrow.
"But this has nothing to do with the dilemma we are facing now."
The round-faced young man frowned while eating lotus roots and said, "The weather is a bit hot, which makes people upset. I'm thirsty, how about you? "
I'm thirsty too. Zhang Yuanqing immediately looked at the queen and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, please give me some juice."
"What juice? Your words sound weird." The queen muttered.
If you were Guan Ya, I would have said this to your chest! Zhang Yuanqing thought.
Accompanying Guan Ya to drive is to please her, and the old driver likes this. But driving for other girls makes him look vulgar.
Judging from her appearance, this queen is a beautiful queen, with big earrings and smoky makeup. Under the single clothes and cropped pants of summer clothes, she has a mature figure with protruding curves.
But unlike Guan Ya who likes to drive, she is more "clumsy" in this regard.
"It's true that water ghosts can resist water, but they can't make water out of thin air."
Seeing that her teammates were unbearable in the heat, she thought for a while and said: "I'll go to the river to 'carry' some water for you. No matter how dirty the water is, it can be directly drunk after being purified by our water ghosts. "
Guan Ya reminded: "Don't go too far away."
The queen didn't even look back: "Don't worry, you won't encounter the evil camp before you finish the branch line."
Zhang Yuanqing watched her graceful figure go away, retracted his gaze, and said:
"I think that to find Xu Xiuer, a specific method is needed to trigger it. But there is too little information at present, and it is difficult to deduce the triggering method."
Guan Ya reminded: "Why not start from the character background."
"Start from the character background." Li Chunfeng pondered:
"She is a widow, suspected of cursing Wang Po's son, and is likely a witch? Wang Po's son has hurt her, most likely breaking into the widow's door at night.
"But there is a logical bug here. Since he is a witch, how could he be hurt by an ordinary man?
"Of course, we can't be sure whether Wang Po's son is an ordinary person, and this has nothing to do with the current predicament."
"What are you talking about? I have analyzed a lot, but I feel that there is no point. Scholars like you like to think about it. "The Fire Star Army said dissatisfiedly:
"This matter is very simple. Wang Po's son slept with her, and she cursed Wang Po's son, so she hates men."
"Hate men, so avoid us? Makes sense." The slightly fat Chiou nodded repeatedly.
"What a bullshit!" Liliyuanshangcao said lightly: "Did the previous spiritual realm travelers not go through this plot? There are no men among them?"
"This." The round-faced Chiou couldn't answer.
Guan Ya pondered and said: "No, the Fire Star Army's guess makes sense. I have a guess. If, if this level, it needs a female traveler to trigger it."
Her words made everyone present change their faces.
The queen left the group!
