Real Cthulhu Running Game

Chapter 2498: The Disaster of Witchcraft

In ancient times, the disaster caused by witchcraft was mostly the classic trick of stabbing a villain, because most people at that time believed that all humanoid objects were spiritual, so they could not give it a pair of scarecrows like those in the fields. Legs, lest it suddenly break free from the shackles of the wooden frame and run away one day.

Therefore, we can find that humanoid dolls in ancient times were basically made of clay. After all, even if a doll made of this material has spirituality, it cannot walk! Therefore, these dolls can only move through teleportation, which has high requirements on their behavior, because no matter what type of work they are in, teleportation is a very advanced skill, and not everyone can do it. Able to master.

As a result, it was not until the past two hundred years that humanoid dolls like dolls wrapped in cotton or other soft fillings appeared. Such simple craftsmanship was completely possible in ancient times. After all, the fabrics in ancient times Although it is expensive, it doesn’t take much fabric to make a rag doll for children. As for the filling of cotton, there are also poplar catkins and reed catkins flying all over the sky. These are good materials that cost nothing and can be used in large quantities. Anyway, this cloth Dolls don’t need to worry about keeping warm either.

But, the crux of the problem is that this rag doll is too easily associated with four words - the disaster of witchcraft. After all, most of the disasters of witchcraft will have an exclusive prop - a scarecrow or a rag doll, so many wealthy families want to avoid suspicion. He would not give his children any dolls, lest he would not be able to explain why if something happened to someone else in the family.

After all, at some point, others are obviously trying to make excuses, so you have no way to reason with them. Therefore, unless you can use your strength to overcome cleverness, you will definitely suffer the consequences of being dumb.

So Yu Lei mentioned one thing to Liu Xing, that is, Gongzi Ying once asked his father for a rag doll when he was a child. As a result, the third prince who loved Gongzi Ying very much chose to refuse without hesitation. He also sternly told Young Master Ying not to mention this matter again.

Why is this?

It wasn’t because the new Dragon Emperor at that time was dealing with a witchcraft disaster!

Regarding that witchcraft disaster, apart from some gossip that is not known to be true or false, it is worth mentioning four words - no one survived, as long as no one involved in the witchcraft disaster escaped. After a catastrophe, of course, who here refers to those people who have been determined to be related to the witchcraft disaster. As for whether those behind the scenes who have not yet exposed their flaws have been solved, then you have to ask the new Dragon Emperor and the people standing behind him of Blackwater Terrace.

However, in most of the gossip, it was mentioned that the masterminds behind the witchcraft disaster were none other than the more capable princes. After all, people at that time had the same idea - how could this happen in the world? The prince of decades?

What's more, there isn't even a prince at this time. Everyone has been a prince for decades. Everyone wants to give up his seat to his father. After all, his father has been in that position for more than ten years. Logically speaking, It’s time to share some of the heavy responsibilities on their shoulders.

Therefore, the reason why the new Dragon Emperor did not directly find out the final mastermind in this witchcraft disaster may be because he thought that the mastermind might be one of his sons, or even several sons working together. , after all, at that time, the eldest prince and the second prince had two or three brothers to help them.

However, after the witchcraft disaster ended, the eldest prince and the other princes around the second prince all chose to protect themselves wisely and directly drew a clear line with their eldest and second brothers. Soon after, they started a new business.

Obviously, these princes believe that this witchcraft disaster is related to their two brothers, and their fathers already know this, so their two brothers will not even become emperors, let alone emperors. It is impossible for a prince to be a prince, so these princes feel that they can do it again. After all, the two Wuzhi Mountains above have been moved away, so they, the grandsons, should also jump out.

However, this witchcraft disaster not only caused those who came to the forefront to be sent to the Queen of Autumn to be executed by the new Dragon Emperor, but also made many princes feel that they can do it, there is another very important message: The new Dragon Emperor was able to escape from the witchcraft disaster. You must know that the previous witchcraft disaster can be said to have a 100% hit rate, and those affected by the witchcraft disaster can be said to have a narrow escape. Of course, here Life is also a life that is worse than death!

As a result, the new Dragon Emperor had nothing to do and was still presiding over the overall situation lively and vigorously.

Although many people believe that the new Dragon Emperor was able to survive the witchcraft disaster unscathed because of the blessing of dragon energy, the problem is that the previous dynasty also had witchcraft disasters against the emperor, and more than once. , as a result, these emperors were not protected by dragon energy.

So everyone thinks that the new Dragon Emperor is the true destiny.

Therefore, when everyone heard that the new Dragon Emperor suddenly fell into a coma, they did not associate this matter with the disaster of witchcraft. After all, the new Dragon Emperor has encountered many disasters of witchcraft overtly and secretly. You must know The disasters of witchcraft are also divided into three, six and nine levels. The most advanced disaster of witchcraft is to ask for the support of the gods, such as making a deal with the King of Gray Clothes. But then again, Liu Xing remembers that the King of Gray Clothes seems to be No transactions related to the royal family will be accepted.

According to the King in Gray, almost all members of the royal family are blessed by the Dragon Qi, but the concentration of the Dragon Qi varies. However, for the King in Gray, the cause and effect brought by the Dragon Qi is too elusive. Sometimes it’s a bit overwhelming, so I simply stop doing business in this area.

However, in addition to the King in Gray, there are several gods who will also take on this kind of business that involves the disaster of witchcraft, such as the legendary God of Curses - Lu Xianren.

Obviously, the so-called Lu Xianren in the martial arts module is taken from the Kunlun Sanxian Lu Ya in "Feng Shen Bang".

Although Lu Ya is just a loose immortal, his background is quite mysterious. Especially in many fan works of "Feng Shen Bang", Lu Ya has a strength comparable to that of a saint. At the same time, he can also compete with the owner of the ginseng fruit tree, Wuzhuang Guan. The master of the temple, Zhenyuan Immortal, is vying for the title of the top loose immortal in the world. In addition, Lu Ya may be the prince of the demon clan, the son of the first generation lord of heaven, Di Jun!

Of course, these are just new settings arranged for Lu Ya in the later second works, so just take a look. . . But then again, "Feng Shen Bang" can also be regarded as a classic second-generation work. In other words, almost all literary works related to myths and legends these days belong to the scope of second-generation creations by fans, because almost all of these original myths and legends are It is normal for some misinformation to occur during word-of-mouth transmission, and it is also necessary to make certain modifications to these myths and legends to meet certain needs.

For example, there are several prototypes of Erlang Shen, and Liu Xing still remembers that the story that Chen Xiang was still Erlang Shen who went to split the mountain to save his mother originally belonged to another "Erlang Shen". As a result, this "Erlang Shen" was not as famous as the Erlang Shen that is well known to the public. , so the story that originally belonged to him was put on the head of Erlang Shen by Zhang Guanli, and even the "Erlang God" himself was assimilated by Erlang Shen. This is also a very common situation in the spread of mythology. That is, as time goes by between two or more gods with the same name or the same sound, the more famous one will begin to assimilate the other gods.

In a sense, this is quite cruel. To put it in perspective, it is no less than when you are sick and a yellow cat suddenly comes and takes away everything from you. When others mention one of your stories, they can only When I think of this yellow-haired look, I feel quite sad when I think about it.

But fortunately, most of these gods are just fictitious, so they. . .

Wait, instead?

Liu Xing raised his eyebrows, and suddenly thought of another possibility, that is, if the gods in the martial arts module are really a group of artificial intelligence systems, then the reason why they call themselves the name of a certain **** is because they want to Want to replace it?

This reminds me of a very famous stand-alone game recently. The monsters in it want to replace the gods through various methods. For example, a big mouse wants to directly control the bodies of the gods through head transplant surgery. , and the other fat man simply inherited the name and dojo of the god.

So are these AI systems poised to become actual gods?

So why?

Why would you, an artificial intelligence system, want to become a god?

Liu Xing can only think of one possibility now, that is, the reason why these artificial intelligence systems want to take away the name of the gods is to put it bluntly, they want to occupy the magpie's nest and go public through a backdoor!

This is just like when some companies in the real world launch certain products, they will give these products a name that can attract popularity. Using the name of a certain **** can be said to kill three birds with one stone, because this name has both In terms of cultural connotation, there is no need to worry about the risk of infringement. More importantly, the names of some gods are quite popular themselves, and others may learn about your product when they search.

Just like in many search engines today, when you search for the names of certain gods, you will see characters from certain games. The reason why you search for the names of these gods is that you must be interested in the deeds of these gods. , so when you see the game characters related to it, as long as the shape suits your appetite, will you play this game?

This can be considered a relatively utilitarian approach.

In this martial arts module, those artificial intelligence systems may have been named after a certain **** for the same reason before launching the omnic crisis. More importantly, everyone in the real world likes to give Various competing products in the same track are ranked, so there may be a ranking list between these artificial intelligence systems, and it is also a popularity ranking. Therefore, some "gods" will be so active in business, just to become the most popular That god!

Of course, some artificial intelligence systems also understand a knowledge point that celebrities must know—black and red are also red!

That’s why some gods don’t only do good things like the Moon God, but even do bad things, like this passerby!

In Liu Xing's view, Lu Daoren is Lu Ya in "The Legend of the Gods". Although Lu Ya's abilities in the original work are not as powerful as those in fan works, the two treasures in his hands are great weapons!

Immortal-killing flying knife and seven-arrow nail-head book!

Just by looking at the names of these two magic weapons, you can tell how powerful they are. You must know that in "The List of Gods", the level of a god's cultivation is not important, because unless you are a saint, you can always be matched with an evenly matched opponent. opponent, so if you want to defeat an opponent whose cultivation level is at the same level as your own, then you have to use your own magic weapon.

It's like in some battle games, both players have the same strength and choose the same characters, so if you want to decide the winner, you have to look at their equipment.

Therefore, we can find that when the gods in "The List of Gods" fight, it is to see whose magic weapon is more powerful. Therefore, Huanglong among the Twelve Golden Immortals will be called the Shame of the Golden Immortal, because of Huanglong's cultivation and He is quite senior, but he does not have a magic weapon that he can use, so he does not win a single victory in the whole book. He was even hung on a flagpole in front of the two armies in front of the public, which can be said to be embarrassing. Extremely.

So if you want to rank the characters in "The Legend of the Gods", you can get a rough idea based on what level of magic weapons these characters have.

Therefore, Lu Ya relied on an immortal-killing flying knife and a nail-headed book of seven arrows. It could be said that in the battle of Conferring Gods, God would kill God if he blocked it, and Buddha would kill Buddha if he blocked it!

Especially this book of Seven Arrows, which is said to be a super powerful magic weapon that can complete the killing 100% as long as the process is successfully completed. Therefore, even Zhao Gongming, who is ranked in the top five among the saints, cannot escape death.

However, it is worth mentioning that this time, Lu Ya did not go through the process of the Seven Arrows Book himself, but Jiang Ziya was responsible for the operation. You must know that Jiang Ziya’s strength in "The List of Gods" is just that, and he can use it. This magic weapon eliminated Zhao Gongming, which shows how terrifying this book of Seven Arrows is.

Of course, since the Lu Dao Ren in this martial arts module is the second creation of Lu Ya, his abilities are naturally related to the Nailhead Seven Arrows book, so as long as you find the clone of this Lu Dao Ren on Kunlun Mountain, you can If you kneel down to a golden crow and worship it devoutly, you may get a golden feather.

Then within the next month, you have to water this feather with as much blood as possible, but the blood here must either be your own, or it must be provided by someone who is related to you, so that you can be in this feather. On the last day of the month, when you pronounce a person's name and the corresponding birth date, this feather may take away that person's life!

A feather seals the throat!
