Chapter 056 What's in the cabin
Lu Xun reached out and caught what Second Senior Sister threw to him. It was a small black stone.
Apart from being black, this small piece of stone is no different from the ones we liked to use for skipping stones on the water when we were kids.
You know what, it’s black, and it’s matte black…
Lu Xun stroked it carefully and felt that it was a little rough and not very comfortable.
He tried to check the basic information, and found that all that popped up were question marks, like this: [? ? ? ].
"What use do I have for your shitty system!" Lu Xun, whose level was too low, took out his anger on the system.
"Second Senior Sister, what is this?" Lu Xun asked.
The second sister replied, "This is a gift from the eldest senior brother for the junior brothers and sisters."
Mao Nanbei took out an almost identical piece of stone from his storage ring and waved it towards Lu Xun, indicating that he also had the same thing.
The eldest senior brother left a total of five pieces for the second senior sister. The second senior sister divided them up, and Lu Xun took another piece, which meant that there was only one piece left for the time being.
"So what exactly is this thing?" Lu Xun asked.
"I don't know." Mao Nanbei replied on behalf of the second senior sister: "I guess only the master knows."
The second sister sat on the boulder and said nothing, as if she agreed.
Although Lu Xun didn't know what this was, since the basic information showed only question marks, it must be a treasure!
As the night deepened, Ji Li said goodbye and went back to the outer mountains. Mao Nanbei was still the one who sent her off.
After the little Loli came back, she made a special trip to look for Lu Xun.
She must have understood some of Second Senior Sister's intentions. She walked to Lu Xun and whispered, "When you go to Cangshan tomorrow, remember to put the small stone in your arms, not in your storage ring. It will be good for you."
"What's the benefit?" Lu Xun wondered.
Are you two senior sisters... opening a backdoor for me?!
How can I feel so embarrassed! Hehehehe!
"You'll know when you go there tomorrow!" Mao Nanbei winked at him.
"I understand, I understand!" Lu Xun replied, with a bright smile on his face.
I originally wanted to try my luck to see if I am the lucky one or the unlucky one, but I didn't expect that there was an internal operation.
Lu Xun, whose special attributes were shown as [Luck 1 (not upgradeable)], suddenly became puffy.
He is already looking forward to tomorrow's trip to Zangshan.
…
…
The next day, Lu Xun got up with a haggard look on his face.
Being whipped every night, being hollowed out every night...
——It’s so hard to be a man in the back mountain!
He made no progress that night and was still "killed" nine times.
But it makes sense. He didn't upgrade, nor did he learn any new skills. His strength didn't improve at all, and he must have remained where he was when it came to fighting against sword intent.
In the Tianchen Continent, this is generally called a bottleneck. For him, it is the lack of experience points.
Shen Yan did not come here early in the morning, but came to the small study in the back mountain in the afternoon.
Lu Xun sniffed and could clearly smell the alcohol on him.
Did this braised egg fall into the wine jar? No wonder I'm late. I guess I've been drinking since last night.
With their level of cultivation, they would not get drunk from drinking worldly wine, but it would be different if they drank the fine wine brewed by the practitioners themselves.
Only then did Shen Yan realize that he had been a little rude. He pinched his fingers and performed some Taoist magic, and the smell of alcohol dissipated on its own.
Zangshan is located in the deepest part of the Demon Sect. This mountain is neither high nor low, but it is very special.
Not only because there are a large number of ownerless objects here, but also because this is also the tomb of the people in the Demon Sect.
Half of the mountain is used to store treasures, and the other half is used to bury people. It is both a treasure house and a cemetery.
To be precise, it is actually a cemetery. Even the treasures on the mountain are the relics of the dead members of the Demon Sect, waiting for the appearance of the successor.
The most special one is [Sword Qi Near], which is not a relic. After all, Yan Li is just in a state of seclusion, and has not made a breakthrough so far, but he is not dead either.
This time Shen Yan did not send Lu Xun to the mountain, but sent him to the foot of the mountain.
It is forbidden to fly up this mountain. Anyone who wants to go up the mountain must start from the foot of the mountain, no matter how special Lu Xun's identity is .
After all, that's what the gentleman did.
There was actually a small wooden house at the foot of the mountain. The door of the house slowly opened and an old man slowly walked out.
The old man has a very hunched back, and he walks very slowly, very slowly.
His slow motion made Lu Xun think he was watching "Zootopia".
On the way here, Shen Yan told him that at the foot of Zangshan Mountain, there lived a very special person, and that person was this old man.
He is the keeper of this mountain, and also the gravekeeper of this tomb.
At the same time, he has another identity, that is, the old servant of the master in his early years.
According to Shen Yan, his master, Lu Xun's eldest senior brother, was brought up by this old man.
Shen Yan bowed to the old man. Even he didn't know the old man's name, so he just said, "Hello, senior. This is your new disciple, Lu Xun."
Lu Xun followed suit and saluted.
He would not lose basic courtesy just because the other party was his master's old servant .
The old man nodded and raised his hand slightly, indicating that the two did not need to be polite.
His movements were so slow, it felt like watching a video at 0.5 times the speed.
And he didn't speak, because... he was mute.
The gentleman is one of the most mysterious people in the world, and his servant is a mute, which always gives people the feeling that this mute actually has countless secrets in his mind.
The old man was leaning on a cane, which looked quite old and had several scratches on it. He was leaning on the cane and walking slowly towards Lu Xun.
After approaching, he slowly looked Lu Xun up and down, and finally stopped his gaze on Lu Xun's face, and then a smile spread across his old face.
It was like he had seen something very interesting.
This made Lu Xun feel puzzled. When others saw his face, they were all amazed, but why did this old man's eyes reveal a hint of... amusement?
"Is there a problem?" Lu Xun thought to himself, but he couldn't figure it out.
After the old man finished laughing, he bowed slightly and saluted Lu Xun, just like an old servant at home seeing the young master .
Lu Xun wanted to reach out to stop him, but was stopped by Shen Yan, who shook his head at him.
Because the mute old man's movements were so slow, it took him more than ten seconds to perform the salute.
After bending down and standing up, he walked to Lu Xun, raised his bony hands, and gently patted Lu Xun's shoulders, just like an old servant in the family seeing the young master coming back from a long journey and wiping away the dust on his body.
However, the next moment, a message appeared in front of Lu Xun:
[Ding! You have obtained the Buff (benefit effect)! ]
