Chapter 72: Folk custom inspector (daily update +8000 comments)(1/5)
The player in front of Bai Qiuye dropped the red envelope he had just received and dropped it to the ground.
The red envelope was very stuffed. After it fell to the ground, the gap in the red envelope opened and the contents inside were exposed.
I saw some banknotes inside the red envelope. These banknotes were either real or fake and were stacked together.
There was also a piece of white paper, with only one corner exposed, and they could only see the uppercase numbers on it.
What's even more creepy is that there is a strand of hair peeking out from the red envelope, which looks particularly scary.
This player was not frightened, but his face had turned green, and he said: "I didn't want to pick it up just now... As soon as I came to my senses, I picked it up somehow.
He cursed secretly: "Md must have been possessed by something, right?"
Bai Qiuye felt strange and asked Situ Xi in a low voice: "Didn't he order the fairy grass just now?"
They slap mugwort and small locust flowers on their bodies and burn them cleanly, all in order to get rid of bad luck.
This player has never been able to ignite it before, which means that he has too much bad luck. The effect of exorcism plants is far less powerful than the spell, so it cannot work.
Later, this man still lit the small locust flower on fire. Logically speaking, the darkness on his body should have been eliminated.
However, judging from his current situation, he actually picked up the red envelope on the roadside inexplicably, and he must have been affected by evil spirits.
"He stepped on other people's graves, and he was already entangled in them at that time." Situ Xun said, "So what was removed was only what was stained during the mass graves."
Although the two talked very quietly, the sound was moving forward, so the player still heard it.
He seemed to have found a tree hole where he could vent his anger, and said quickly: "To be honest, when I passed by the mass grave just now, I was in a daze, and as soon as I regained my consciousness, I stepped on the board."
"The two mistakes you made were both under the influence." Situ Xi said, "I'm afraid the reason is that girl's temple."
"I've probably guessed that that thing won't show up directly to kill me, but it will make me die." The player said, "It's so damn unlucky."
He regretted why he had to talk next to the Girl's Temple, but it was too late to say anything now.
At this time, the villagers at the entrance of Shanyao Village had already walked up to the tour guide.
They whispered to the tour guide for a while, and the tour guide suddenly said: "Who picked up the red envelope just now?"
The player had no choice but to stand up and say: "It's me."
Several villagers came over and smiled on their originally expressionless faces, but the smile looked fake and stiff: "Congratulations, happy wedding."
The player froze and asked after a while: "What did you say?"
The villager continued to smile and said: "You are our new son-in-law. Didn't you just pick up my daughter's red envelope?"
He said, pulling out the piece of paper from the red envelope.
When everyone took a look, it turned out that there was a string of birth dates written on the piece of paper.
At this time, another villager said: "Don't worry, my sister may still despise him. We will know what my sister means after throwing wild rice."
What kind of wedding requires tricking passers-by into picking up red envelopes?
Moreover, the red envelope contained not only banknotes, but also ghost coins, and even a strand of woman's hair, which looked eerie and weird no matter how you looked at it.
The player's face changed from yellow to blue, from green to white, and finally said: "I am here to investigate folk customs, you can't decide casually-"
The expressions of several villagers suddenly darkened. They raised the farm tools in their hands and looked at the player with unkind expressions.
The tour guide came to the rescue and said: "Boss, the final decision hasn't been made yet, so you don't need to be so nervous."
Situ Li patted him on the shoulder and said: "If you can't escape, you can only go to the village and see your employer to see if we can solve it."
The player had no choice but to nod.
Someone in the team saw this and recorded the custom of picking up red envelopes in a notebook.
A message that 3/3 of the first task was completed appeared on everyone's terminals.
【Work progress: 3/3 .】
[After handing the record to Bao Weicai, the first task is completed.]
Everyone felt relieved when they saw that the progress had been filled.
At least the difficulty of their next job will not increase on the original basis.
There is a stone-renovated archway at the entrance of the mountainside village. The corners are extremely rounded due to weathering.
On the top of the archway are written the four words "mountainside and sea cliff".
As everyone passed under the archway, it felt as if they had passed through some kind of barrier, and the air around them became moist.
After walking into the mountainside village, the tour guide finally turned around and said to them: "I will arrange accommodation for everyone. Come with me."
Among the nine NPCs who came with them, four have residences locally.
Among the remaining five, three are college students who came here for tourism.
The other two are businessmen who came to discuss seafood business.
So, the four local people left the team, and the remaining five people continued to walk with the tour guide.
Bai Qiuye wondered, since those four people were locals, why they had to follow the tour guide on the mountain road before.
Is there some reason why they can't go up the mountain alone and must go with a tour guide?
Then she thought of something even weirder.
They took a bus, and there was a tour guide on the bus, which was strange in itself.
"Why do locals need tour guides..."
"It's better to call it a guide than a tour guide." Situ Xun said, "You remember what she said before, in the miasma in the mountains, seeing may not necessarily be true."
Situ Li added: "In this case, if there is no one to take you away, it is easy to get lost and end up trapped in the mountains and forests."
Bai Qiuye nodded: "Maybe the tour guide is carrying something that can protect her from the miasma."
Situ Li's eyes fell on the back of the tour guide's head: "What can be avoided is not necessarily miasma."
The unlucky player walking in front of them heard this and turned around and said: "Brother, did you encounter this kind of situation when you came to advance before?"
Situ Li said: "The similarity between these copies is that they are all folk customs. If you know them, you can seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. But the background and story of applying this folk custom are different."
They speak very quietly, because if this kind of conversation beyond the dungeon is heard by NPCs, bad things will happen.
The player said: "I know this. I watched several live broadcasts before coming here."
Situ Li said: "Then you should know what kind of folk custom you are encountering now."
The player sighed and said: "Probably... a yin marriage."
Before the app was launched, many of the contents in the copy were unheard of.
These strange customs and customs seem to come from another parallel space.
Not to mention that this folklore-themed dungeon is even more likely to trip up if you’re not careful.
Therefore, the first few batches of people who entered this dungeon died miserably because they violated taboos.
Afterwards, everyone figured out the rules and the casualty rate dropped a lot.
However, as the Dao is higher than the devil is higher, many traps began to appear in the copy.
For example, like him, in order to complete the work, he talked for a few words, but the evil spirits got entangled with him and he was forced to commit suicide.
No matter how many types they summarize, they will still encounter some folklore that differs in details.
Although he now knows that he has been matched for a secret marriage, he still needs to continue to observe how he will be matched and how the wedding ceremony will be carried out.
Situ Li said: "There are many ways to get married in the dark. After you have settled in, you should first ask the tour guide or local people to inquire."
The player heard this and nodded: "Thank you very much. By the way, my name is Wang Yongjian. What do you call me brother?"
He was one of the three players who came later, so he didn't hear everyone introduce themselves.
Situ Li said: "My name is Tu Yi."
Wang Yongjian said: "This is a good name. People say that butchers have evil spirits on their bodies and ghosts dare not get close to them."
Situ Li narrowed his eyes: "I look like a butcher?"
Wang Yongjian said sheepishly: "I don't know why, but I always feel that there is something evil about you, Brother Tu."
Hearing this, Bai Qiuye once again felt that Wang Yongjian's observation skills were really excellent.
Although Situ Li covered his face with a "camouflage mask", his aura of a boss that was constantly polished in the dungeon from level 0 to 65 could not be covered up at all.
When others looked at him, they would at most take one more look at his face. Seeing that his face was ordinary and unremarkable, they would never think in the direction of a big boss.
Wang Yongjian was completely different from the others. He seemed to have noticed the clues but kept the distance he should have.
That is to say, he was not sick and rushed to the doctor and hugged Situ Xi without letting go, nor was he so noble as to ignore him.
Situ Li also seemed to like this man quite a bit, and he had a very good attitude towards him, answering almost every question he had.
Bai Qiuye thought of Situ Xi's bad deeds and couldn't help but feel a sweat for Wang Yongjian - who knows whether Situ Xi really likes her or fakes it.
Wang Yongjian turned to her again and asked: "I wonder what this sister's name is?"
Bai Qiuye said: "Li Xiaocao."
