"Two benefactors, please accept this old man's bow!"
After the WuTang Elder calmed down a little, he immediately knelt down on one knee and kowtowed to Guhan.
"Two benefactors, please accept this bow!"
Seeing their own elder kneel, the other 28 brothers and sisters knelt down in unison and thanked Guhan and King Yue.
"You can't!
You can't! "
Guhan hurriedly helped the elder up. Although these people were just NPCs, kneeling for Guhan for three days and three nights was nothing to Guhan.
However, considering that he would need the cooperation of these NPCs in the future, Guhan still pretended to be moved and helped the elder up.
"No problem!
No problem!
It's what I should do …. "
The elder stood up and said with a face full of emotion, "If it wasn't for the two of you suddenly appearing and clearing out this Skeleton Camp.
I'm afraid that my disciples would have suffered heavy casualties! "
"It's nothing!" Guhan waved his hand, "It's my honor to be able to help you all."
Guhan and the elder exchanged a few pleasantries. At this time, the 700 + survivors came out of various places with bags of all sizes and gradually gathered near the camp's entrance.
"Senior, what are you all doing?"
Guhan looked at the fleeing crowd and pretended to be surprised as he asked. Of course, he knew that these survivors wanted to leave WuTang Mountain to escape. The strategy guide had already written it clearly.
However, the plot required it, so he pretended not to know and asked.
"Sigh, you two benefactors may not know, but we are all preparing to leave this place and escape!" The elder said dejectedly.
"Leave this place!!" When Guhan heard this, he immediately waved his hands and shook his head vigorously, "No, no!
You must not leave the peak of WuTang Mountain! "
What a joke. Of course, Guhan could not let these people leave the peak of WuTang Mountain. Otherwise, if they all died when they went down the mountain, his dungeon would fail.
"Why is that?" The elder did not understand.
"Senior, you might not know this, but there are a total of seventeen blockades at the foot of the mountain.
Even with my abilities, I had to use all my strength to break through these seventeen blockades.
However, I'm afraid that my actions have already alerted the enemy. I'm afraid that there are more Yuan Kou's gathered at the foot of the mountain than when I ascended the mountain. No matter what, it's impossible for you people to rush over! "Guhan made up a story.
This was the standard advice in the forum. As long as they said this, the people of Wudang Mountain would give up the idea of going down the mountain.
Sure enough, the elder couldn't catch his breath and almost fainted. After regaining consciousness, he stomped his feet forcefully and helplessly ordered his subordinates, "You guys, quickly tell this news to our relatives. Tell them not to go down the mountain to die."
"Yes!"
The Taoist priests also looked as if their mothers had died. They went back to persuade their relatives to turn back. Suddenly, the entire mountaintop was filled with the sound of crying. Pessimism and despair shrouded the entire mountaintop.
"Two benefactors, it's very windy here. If you don't mind, please follow this old man to Skyward Palace for a cup of tea!"
The elder forced a smile on his face and extended an invitation to Guhan and King Yue. These two powerhouses who had appeared out of nowhere were the elder's last hope.
"Of course!" Guhan smiled. Everything was going according to plan.
…
"Two benefactors, this old man's Taoist name is Refinement. I am the 32nd generation disciple of the Wudang Sect. I am currently the acting Sect Leader of the Wudang Sect!"
The elder, who was the old Taoist priest of Refinement, introduced himself after sitting down with Guhan and King Yue in Skyward Palace.
"I am the Military Governor, an ancient sword wielder of the Yan Jing base city. This is my Sword Lady, the Ancient Sword Lady, King Yue Goujian Jian!"
During the time when the storyline of the dungeon took place, the Yuzhang base city had yet to be built. At that time, only the three base cities established by the fleeting calendar existed. In the Huaxia region, there was only one base city, Yan Jing. Therefore, all the players in the dungeon claimed that they were from Yan Jing base city.
In fact, after entering the dungeon, the system would set the players' identities as belonging to Yan Jing. Guhan also had a communication device that could connect to Yan Jing. Therefore, the identity of the Military Governor was indeed from Yan Jing.
Interestingly, some of the strange players would deliberately say that they were from other base cities.
To them, it did not matter. After all, the old man of Refinement had spent his entire life on the top of Mount Wudang. How could he know the current situation of the human world? He had to believe whatever you said.
However, the strange thing was that after these players completed the dungeon, they found that no matter how perfect the other steps were, they could not get an SSS rating.
For some reason, five or six survivors would die inexplicably. No matter how skilled the players were, no matter how closely they watched, they could not stop them from walking toward death.
As time passed, no one dared to make any trouble on this point.
"Almsgiver Military Governor, Almsgiver Yue!
Forgive me for being curious, but why did you suddenly appear on the top of Mount Wudang and risked your lives to break through the eighteen blockade lines?
My WuTang Mountain has not sent anyone down the mountain for twenty years. In this world, there should not be many people who know of my WuTang lineage! "After the old Taoist poured a cup of water for the two of them, he asked the question in his heart.
"Master of Refinement, you may not know this, but a hundred years ago, a disciple of your sect fought side by side with a swordsman from Yan Jing. Unfortunately, your disciple died in battle, and the swordsman escaped and reported the news of Mount Wudang to Yan Jing and recorded it.
Therefore, Yan Jing actually knows that there are human survivors and a small number of swordsman living on the top of Mount Wudang! "Guhan answered one by one according to the standard answers on the guide.
If the script was correct, then the master of Refinement was going to test him.
"Yes, a hundred years ago, our sect's Supreme One Spiritual Master went down the mountain to travel in troubled times to find a future for Wudang.
Unfortunately, Senior Supreme One never returned. Who would have thought that he would die in the hands of Yuan Kou, the Boundless Heavenly Lord! "The master of Refinement recited a salute, as if lamenting his senior's misfortune.
(PS: A Taoist saying "Boundless Heavenly Lord" is similar to a monk saying "Amitabha" and a Christian saying "Oh my God".)
"The Sect Master of Minute Subtlety might have been too busy and remembered wrongly. Why is it that the Daoist name of your sect's disciple in the records of Yan Jing City is Enlightened Tai 'er?" Gu Han smiled and exposed the probing of Minute Subtlety.
In real history, the story of the Wudang Spiritual Master Tai 'er was true. Records of the Daoist Master Tai' er could still be found in Yan Jing's database. However, no player had ever been interested in looking up such information.
As a result, when the game had just started and the Wudang Peak dungeon was released for the first year, countless players had fallen for the problem of the Daoist Master Tai 'er, which made the master of Refinement suspicious.
Due to the player's ability as a swordsman, the master of Refinement did not expose the player on the spot. Instead, he nodded in agreement.
In secret, he told the disciples to be careful of the player, monitor the player, and not trust the player.
This way, the player could not command the disciples of the Wudang Mountain at all. This led to a large number of casualties among the disciples who did not listen to the command, and it was difficult for the mission evaluation to reach above S rank.
It was only later that a librarian working in Yan Jing's database coincidentally saw the information of the Wudang Sect and solved the game's trap.
By the way, this librarian later became an Emperor Sword level swordsman … In Hua Xia, librarians had always been a legend!
"I was thinking too much!
Please don't blame me, sir!
Please don't blame me! "
The old Daoist at the Refinement Realm blushed. His trick had been seen through, and it was really embarrassing.
However, the master of Refinement was relieved. It seemed that the human in front of him was indeed a swordsman in Yan Jing.
Although the Wudang Sect had not been in contact with the outside world for 20 years, through some occasional communication, they had a general understanding of the situation in the outside world. They knew that humans had basically lost 98% of the earth's land, leaving only three base cities in human hands.
"Master of Refinement is doing this for the safety of the entire Wudang Sect. I, Military Governor, can naturally understand these precautions!
"Originally, we did not want to disturb the peace of your sect, but three days ago, I was a hundred miles away when I suddenly saw the top of the Wudang Mountain in flames, raging sword qi, and flashes of lightning. It was like the end of the world.
Thinking that there were still humans in the Wudang Mountain, I was worried about the safety of the Wudang Mountain. That's why I killed my way here, wanting to see what happened on the Wudang Mountain! "
"So, Almsgiver Military Governor also saw the battle that day!"
The old Taoist priest in the Refinement Realm wore a gloomy expression as he said, "To tell you the truth, it was Sect Leader Zhi Jing of our sect who was fighting the Dark Dragon King that day. However, Sect Leader is already very old, and her Qi and blood are all dried up. After forcing the Dark Dragon King back, she spat out a mouthful of blood and passed away yesterday after falling unconscious for two days!"
"Master Zhi Jing!
The Celestial Master Zhi Jing who coordinated with Lady Zhenwu! "
Guhan put on a shocked expression. "If the records in Yan Jing City are not wrong, Celestial Master Zhi Jing is already more than 180 years old today!
I didn't expect Celestial Master Zhi Jing to live until now. We in Yan Jing City thought that Celestial Master Zhi Jing had passed away long ago! "
In the history of the swordsman for more than a thousand years, Celestial Master Zhi Jing of the Wudang Sect was also a famous existence. It was not because he was famous as a Celestial Sword Level swordsman, but because he lived for 180 years.
Among the swordsman of the past, Zhi Jing's lifespan could be ranked second. If he hadn't died in battle, Celestial Master Zhi Jing might have been able to reach the first place on the longevity list.
It was also because Celestial Master Zhi Jing, a Celestial Sword Level swordsman, lived long enough that Wudang Mountain could break away from the base city and exist for two hundred years. When Celestial Master Zhi Jing died, the survivors on the peak of Wudang Mountain suddenly lost their strong protection. That was why they wanted to leave Wudang Mountain and join the embrace of the base city.
One had to know that when they first learned of the existence of Wudang Mountain, Yan Jing City had once sent a Spirit Sword Level swordsman to invite Wudang Mountain to join Yan Jing City. In the end, he was rejected by Celestial Master Zhi Jing. He couldn't bear to leave his ancestral land where he had lived for more than a hundred years.
