Pick up Heaven at the beginning

Chapter 15 The Beginning of Fierce Battle: Rainy Night
Another five days passed, and the calm days finally came to an end.It seems to have a feeling, the weather has been sunny for almost half a month, and it is raining on this day.It is said that spring rain is as expensive as oil, but when it rains heavily, there are always fewer pedestrians on the street. The street where Lin Shu lives is even less humanistic in rainy days, only the sound of rain echoes in it.

Lin Shu didn't go out to buy food in the past few days, and Xiang finally learned a few small dishes under the pressure of someone.Like this bowl of Hualan mandarin fish, the taste is very delicious, which is the samadhi.Murong Xiao ate with great joy while holding the small bowl.Every time Xiang waited for her to eat a dish, he would ask how it tasted, in order to make it better in the future.Lin Shu, who was sitting in the first seat, was not focused on the dishes. While drinking the rice wine he ordered a few days ago, he checked the system interface in his mind.

Fortune quest has been refreshed.Ten days ago, the system loaded the wealth system and announced the first wealth task. The task is very simple, just go to the Flower Temple to pay homage. After completing the task, Lin Shu received a reward of [-] gold coins.The task turned gray, and it will take ten days to refresh the task. Today is the tenth day, and the wealth task is refreshed again. Lin Shu also received the prompt at the first time, and opened the interface to check.But this wealth mission is obviously different from last time, even the interface has turned red
Wealth Quest Refresh
, the wealth mission is being released.

It has been detected that the wealth mission overlaps with the main line, and the mission objectives and rewards are being re-planned.
Mission objectives and rewards are planned,
Fortune Quest (Main): Quirky Houses and Old Streets
Mission introduction: The quaint and unremarkable house is frequently haunted. What happened to the previous residents here? Who is behind the scenes? Even the kind neighbors are restless.What terrifying conspiracy are they planning, and why are they spying on you in the dark? Terrible crises are about to follow.The great real person should no longer be indulging in leisure and pleasure, you need to use your supreme wisdom and courage to decipher and explore, and smash the hidden conspiracy in the old street!

Objectives: [-]. Find out the truth about the "haunted" house
Task reward: none (distributed after completing a series of tasks)

After Lin Shu carefully reviewed the mission introduction and goals, he continued to drink and eat as usual, thinking about how to complete the mission of the first stage.First of all, since moving to this house, Lin Shu's family has not encountered any so-called supernatural events. Even if he draws late in the study every day, he has not encountered a single evil spirit.This shows that this house is definitely not as simple as a haunted soul. After thinking about it carefully, there are two entry points for the mission. One is the old well that has been blocked in the courtyard. When I cast the Qingquan curse before, a spiritual spring gushed out from the ground, rich in water vapor. At least it proved that Tu Laosan was lying when he said that the well was no longer used because it had dried up.

The second entry point is on the "twin" street next to it. Obviously, the other houses are exactly the same in style, but there is only one big difference. This is the house where Lin Shu lives, but there is an earth temple.Lin Shu decided to start with this doubtful point first. The mission introduction mentioned that there was a conspiracy brewing in the dark, and the black hand hiding in the dark might not have time to spend it. He might do it at any time when he was about to make a move. Considering the safety of Murong Xiao and Xiang , to take the two of them to act together, so Lin Shu stopped the chopsticks holding vegetables and said to Murong Xiao and Xiang:

Go out with me after dinner, on the way I will tell you clearly what we are going to do next. "Murong Xiao saw that Lin Shushen was mysterious, and his playfulness was aroused at once. These days, she has been studying hard every day, and the girl has had a very painful life. Now that Lin Shu is going to take her out in the afternoon, she immediately put it down. Wan said that she was full. Xiang had thought about it. She had discovered a group of people watching them in secret early on. Knowing that Lin Shu's purpose might be related to this, this trip might be in danger. A little nervous.

With a nervous mood, Xiang cleaned the dishes and chopsticks, and the three of them each took an oil-paper umbrella and went out.The water vapor was hazy, but it was not difficult to see the road clearly. Xiangan cast a spell and the three went directly to the entrance of the old street. Avoiding the sight of Qiu and Hu Luer, the three came to the twin street next door.

Lin Shu and Xiang walked on both sides, and Murong Xiao was guarded in the middle, led by Xiang's hand. Lin Shu deliberately walked slowly so as to explain the task introduction and purpose to her clearly. Unlike the street next door, the road here is still There are a few passers-by here and there, and they can't help but look at Lin Shu and his party when they meet Lin Shu and his party. Without him, the main reason is that Xiangmei is too eye-catching. I saw Xiang wearing a water-blue palace dress and wearing a The sapphire pearl hairpin flower walks, and the blue cloth and blue-soled shoes walk in the rain like a fairy in the water. Even if outsiders see it as a married woman who is looking after her husband and raising her children, these pedestrians can't help but stop and admire it.

After Lin Shu explained the general situation to Xiang and Murong Xiao, the three of them had already arrived in front of the Earth Temple.Lin Shu and Murong Xiao searched carefully in front of the temple, inside the temple, and behind the temple to see if there was any clue to unlock the secret, but unfortunately they found nothing.It wasn't until Murong Xiao unintentionally lifted the stone covered with yellow paper in front of the temple that a ghost in the shape of a child suddenly rushed out of the earth temple, shot at the food shop, and disappeared.

Because of the suddenness of the incident, the speed of the ghost was also very fast, and Xiang didn't have time to leave it behind.But seeing the direction where the ghost disappeared, Lin Shu didn't feel any pity, and knocked on the door of the food shop with Murong Xiao and Xiang.

It may be because of the rainy day, the food shop is not open today, and there are relatively few people who come here to eat, and it is reasonable for the store to be closed on rainy days, but after knocking on the door more than a dozen times, there is still no one to answer Door.Lin Shu kicked directly at the store door, trying to kick it open, but the embarrassing thing was that the door didn't move at all due to lack of strength.

Xiang stepped out, and with a kick containing ghost power, he blasted open the closed door.I saw the shop owner holding a large kitchen knife in his hand, sitting on the table waiting for them. The shop owner was trembling all over, but his eyes were still very close. He recognized Lin Shu who often came to buy food. , Opened the mouth and said: It is closed today, the guest officials should go to eat elsewhere. "

Lin Shu noticed that the boss was different, and said, "I didn't come here for dinner today, but I took my family for a stroll, but just when I got here, I saw a ghost sneak into your shop, thinking about the safety of the boss. , I forced my way in to see if the boss saw a child-like ghost."

"You youngsters don't have to talk nonsense. I have been doing my duty all my life. How could I encounter ghosts in the daytime? Besides, I have the protection of the land god opposite me. How dare evil spirits do evil." The boss replied excitedly, without paying attention. When Lin Shu had already walked in front of him, he saw Lin Shu waving his hands and using his ingenuity to snatch the kitchen knife from the boss's hand in the blink of an eye.On the one hand, Xiang cooperated tacitly, first suppressed the shop owner on the wine table with a palm, and then released the thick ghost power to fill the entire shop.

With the flow of ghost power, a ghost in the shape of a child slowly emerged, with nowhere to hide.As soon as the ghost appeared, the shop owner was already in tears, crying loudly: "Xiaoqing is just a child, why is this so, why did you kill him so cruelly, why is he now a ghost? Don't let it go, Xiaoqing, run, I will become a ghost after I die, come to you, run!"

Seeing the shop owner crying bitterly, Xiaoqing's ghostly face became very ferocious, and he wanted to run forward to fight Xiang.But Xiang has practiced for a long time, and is suppressed by the rank of ghost king. Xiaoqing, a little ghost, can't resist.

Lin Shu said: "Shop owner, don't be so excited and sad. Although I don't know who you are talking about, I can be sure that we are not in the same group. You just need to tell us what you know, and we will help you. Leaving will not hurt you and Xiaoqing in the slightest. If it happens, I can help Xiaoqing get revenge, so you have to calm down and tell us what you know." Let go of the shopkeeper first.

Xiang withdrew the hand that suppressed the store owner, who slowly straightened up, first took a few deep breaths, and then told the story slowly.It turned out that he was not from Dongxuan City, his hometown was in a small town hundreds of miles away from Dongxuan City.Originally, he lived happily and happily, married a wife and had children early, but because of a fairy fighting near the town one day, the whole town was destroyed by the aftermath of the fighting.His wife died in that disaster, but fortunately his youngest son was safe, and he collected a lot of treasure along the way and came to Dongxuanfu City, where he bought a small shop with the treasure and opened a restaurant to make a living.Originally thought that Dongxuanfu City was protected by immortals, so that the tragedy like the previous town would not happen again, but who knew that one afternoon last year, his youngest son disappeared strangely, and he searched nearby for three months without finding anything.It wasn't until Xiaoqing came to the door one night not long ago that he realized that his youngest son had been silenced and turned into a lonely ghost.

When Xiaoqing first came back, he was in a daze and only knew that he followed him every day without saying a word. Of course, as a father, he didn't want his only son to die innocently like this, so he paid a lot of money to hire a psychic master to understand his child. cause of death.After being invited by the fairy master, he told him that Xiaoqing had not become a ghost for a long time and could not communicate yet, so he could only go to the earth temple to steal incense and make offerings.The immortal master also said that Xiaoqing has evil karma, and the person who killed him is definitely not simple, so he told him not to act rashly, and even after Xiaoqing can speak, he should not think of revenge, it is best to leave and stay away from right and wrong land.

He thought about the strangeness of the house where only Lin Shu lived. There were rumors of supernatural phenomena, and there was a high probability that Xiaoqing was killed in it. So when Lin Shu came to buy food for the first time, he wondered whether Lin Shu It is related to the mastermind behind the murder of his own child.Lin Shu was so nervous and abnormal when he came to the door today.

After the hotel owner babbled, Lin Shu probably understood what happened to him, and looked at Xiaoqing again. After Xiang released the ghost power that restrained Xiaoqing, Xiaoqing began to speak intermittently.

"Well, inside. On the left. Old man, cannibalism, there are many, many people." Xiaoqing's ghost ambiguity has not completely dissipated, so he can only falter and haw to express these, and then fell into a daze again.Lin Shu thought to himself, it seems that the underground well at home is the key to solving the puzzle, but this trip has gained a lot of information, and it is not in vain, it has gained something.Secretly write down what Xiaoqing said, then greet Xiang, and Murong Xiao walks towards the house.After returning home, he will open the dusty old well to find out!
