Chapter 167 Who did it?
Lu Xun took another look at the necklace in his hand, then put it away.
On the surface, this necklace is a high-quality yellow item, but in reality it is just a key.
If you look closely, the gem on this necklace gives people a strange feeling, a bit like evil eyes.
Its function is very simple, it can open a secret place.
After successfully entering the secret realm, Lu Xun is confident that he can trigger one of the main storylines in "Tianchen" in advance!
This main storyline was supposed to be officially opened when most players reached around level 30. Now, the players haven't even arrived yet, but I've already taken the lead in opening the main storyline . From now on, I can be said to be far ahead of the rest, leaving the rest of the players trailing behind and eating dust!
The main plot that Lu Xun is about to trigger can be summarized in simple terms as [alien invasion].
This was a very clichéd plot. Lu Xun had seen similar ones in novels, comics, games, and movies.
But now that he has become a member of the army of time travelers, he suddenly finds this [alien invasion] somewhat interesting.
Because there are two main forces to resist the alien races. One group is naturally the indigenous people of the Tianchen Continent, and the other group is the stupid players.
But for the Tianchen Continent... aren't players also fucking aliens?
One group of aliens fighting another group of aliens?
"I always feel like something is wrong..." Lu Xun said in his heart.
Judging from the timeline, players will arrive in large numbers in a few months, while the big plot of large-scale alien invasion will not come until a few years later, by which time the players will have grown to a certain extent.
Whether from the perspective of a player or an NPC, Lu Xun and the aliens are in a hostile camp, so he has to make preparations early in the past few years.
As for the necklace in his hand, it will be his first step!
Inside the main hall, Mo Beihe and others enthusiastically tried to persuade Lu Xun and others to stay, wanting them to stay at Tianque Gate for a few days.
Lu Xun actually felt that the people of Tianque Gate were a bit troublesome, but living here would indeed be more convenient for his next actions, so he nodded and agreed.
The smiles on Mo Beihe and the others' faces became brighter, and they thought to themselves, "It seems that our actions this time have left a good impression on him."
Tianque Gate prepared the most elegant residence for Lu Xun and his party, a quiet courtyard with everything needed. He also planned to send two female disciples to serve them, but was rejected by Lu Xun.
He came to Tianque Gate for serious business, not for vacation.
Moreover, it is very troublesome to have female disciples here. Although Tianque Sect certainly does not dare to monitor Lu Xun's every move, he thinks that if he stands there, ordinary female disciples will not be able to take their eyes off him and will definitely be secretly watching him all the time. What's the difference between this and surveillance?
It's very inconvenient!
Of course, male disciples probably can’t do that either!
During a casual chat with Mo Beihe, Lu Xun already had a certain basic understanding of Tianque Gate.
Because Mo Beihe wanted to curry favor with someone powerful, he had to make a brief introduction to the sect.
The Tianque Sect was founded not long ago, but it is still longer than the Demon Sect.
The first generation leader of the sect was called Master Tianque, a great practitioner of the seventh realm.
He founded the Tianque Sect on Taixu Peak, hoping to pass on his skills, but he never expected that each generation would be inferior to the previous one.
Every new generation of Tianque Sect's leader wants to restore Tianque Sect's glory in their own hands. Then, reality makes them realize: People should work harder. How do you know how useless you are if you don't try hard?
With the hard work of each generation of sect leaders, Tianque Sect is running faster and faster on the downhill road!
Up to now, the Tianque Sect doesn’t even have a sixth-level expert, let alone a seventh-level expert.
Sect leader Mo Beihe has only reached the fifth level of perfection. He would be considered a strong man in the Three Thousand Mountains, but in a first-rate sect, he might not even be able to become an elder.
When Lu Xun and Mo Beihe were chatting, they revealed intentionally or unintentionally that they had a hobby, which was traveling.
The most famous thing about the Sanqianshan area is naturally the mountains. It is surrounded by mountains with peaks of various styles. Lu Xun said that he would go out to see them often.
For this purpose, Mo Beihe even offered the token of Tianque Gate in a servile manner, saying that it would be much more convenient for Lu Xun to have this token in Three Thousand Mountains.
Lu Xun didn't bother to be polite with him and directly accepted the token.
He had no intention of revealing his identity as the Demon Sect's junior uncle to anyone he met, and holding the Tianque Sect's token would indeed save him some trouble.
When they arrived at the courtyard, Mo Beihe and others tactfully left.
Lu Xun came to the kitchen as soon as possible because Mao Nanbei was hungry and was urging him to make something delicious.
He was chopping vegetables in the kitchen while thinking about his plan in his mind.
"The secret realm that this mysterious key can open is also in the Three Thousand Mountains area, which should save us some trouble."
This is also one of the reasons why Lu Xun stayed temporarily in Tianque Gate.
What is in the secret realm, and why is it related to the main storyline?
There is actually only one thing in the secret realm, a large altar!
To put it simply, it can also be understood as a summoning formation.
This altar can be used to allow alien races to descend upon the Tianchen Continent.
“From this point of view, it seems that the players are more advanced. They don’t even need an altar or anything. They just descend out of thin air.” Lu Xun made a comparison in his mind.
"As long as I open the secret realm and then touch the altar, there should be a certain chance of triggering the main storyline mission in advance." He planned in his mind.
"Based on the hostile relationship between the player and the alien race, the next task to be triggered should be to destroy the altar!"
"The altar is an important guide for the aliens to descend. Destroying an altar is equivalent to making the aliens lose a place to descend!"
"This mission is so valuable. As long as it can be successfully triggered, the reward will definitely be extremely generous!"
"My advantage is that the aliens haven't arrived yet, so the altar is empty. It shouldn't be too difficult to destroy it. It's about the same as demolition."
"If it really doesn't work, I'll trick Mao Nanbei over there. If I can't destroy her, I'll let Mao Nanbei do the chopping. She's so easy to fool anyway, so I can just make up some excuses."
After Lu Xun finished cutting the vegetables, he began to heat the pot, already having a rough plan in mind.
He didn't know why, but he felt that when he wasn't cooking and thinking, his thoughts seemed to be especially clear...
As he was frying, he suddenly frowned and thought of a problem.
When he was a player before, he was busy playing games and completing tasks, so he didn't think too much about it. Now that he has traveled through time, the Tianchen Continent has become a real world for him. The angle from which he thinks about problems has also changed, and he soon sensed that something was wrong.
“Since the aliens haven’t arrived yet, then... who built this altar?” Lu Xun said in his heart.
