Worlds’ Apocalypse Online

Vol 2 Chapter 5: kill? Still cheating?

A palm-sized seal was placed on the counter, exuding a faint yellow awn.

The magistrate stood behind the counter and looked out the window.

Gu Qingshan saw this scene when he came in.

Liu Xunshouzhen reported: "Sir, Gu Xunshou is here."

"I've met an adult." Gu Qingshan also fisted.

The magistrate did not look back, but said, "Gu Xunshou, what is your best skill?"

"Bow and arrow, sir." Gu Qingshan said.

The county magistrate said, "I don't know what your archery is. Come, let me see how many arrows you shoot."

He reached out his finger and pointed somewhere out the window.

I saw a big tree hundreds of meters away, and the tree was full of barking sparrows.

Liu Xunshou looked at it, and said with fun: "Adults like to eat game-if there is a large plate of fried sparrows at noon today, I will take care of you.

Gu Qingshan knew, walked forward, stood in front of the window, and looked at it carefully.

I saw those sparrows playing on the branches, sometimes falling to the ground, sometimes chasing and flying, deliberately lively.

At this time, he had already remembered many things, naturally thinking of the bow and arrow method, he took off the long bow and pulled the bow to lead the arrow.

The magistrate and Liu Xunshou both held their breaths.

But he saw that the long bow was easily pulled into the shape of a full moon, and then the arrows flew away like a flowing shadow.

Huh!

Almost instantaneously, a trembling vibration erupted on the big tree, and the whole tree shook violently several times, even making people mistakenly think it would be knocked out.

Under the sun, the leaves are colorful and falling.

The sparrows were taken aback by this, leaving the forest long ago, and disappeared.

Liu Xunshou looked stunned.

If such a powerful arrow is shot at a person ...

Gu Qingshan took the bow and laughed: "My arrow is designed to kill fierce beasts, but it can also kill people, but I'm not very sure about small animals and the like."

Liu Xunshou returned to God, boasting: "With this archery, no wonder you can kill nine bandits in a row."

At this time, a faint cry came from the tree.

The magistrate said nothing, turned and took another bow from the wall, and pressed the arrow on the bowstring.

唰 ——

The arrows flew out and sank into the deep trees.

The cry suddenly disappeared.

Liu Xunshou immediately praised loudly: "Good arrow! This nestling is hidden in the depths, and even the younger brother Gu did not find it, but was solved by an adult!"

The county magistrate shook his head and said, "If you all have the ability to guard the patrol, your official will not have to worry about the safety of the county seat."

Liu Xunshou was a little embarrassed, he smiled, and didn't say anything again.

The magistrate returned to the table and pointed at the seal, saying, "Lao Liu, today you took him to know his colleagues, and then went out of town to take care of the matter-that matter has been dragged on for half a month, we must hurry.

"Yes, sir." Liu Xun guarded.

"Sir, then I'll go down." Gu Qingshan saluted.

"Well, go and do your best."

County Order Road.

After the two left, he waited for a while and someone came to report.

"How?" The magistrate asked.

His subordinate said: "My lord, I have already found out. He is indeed the village guard of the most remote mountain village. He has been working hard all these years, but there is a strange thing."

"What's strange?" The magistrate asked alertly.

"He doesn't deal with the villagers very often. He lives on the mountain himself and occasionally enters the village to see the situation."

When the magistrate heard it, he calmed down and said, "Well, what's the matter, if it's me, I'm afraid I don't want to stay with those pariahs."

"That makes sense ... he's been preparing, thinking of the county seat to make a living ..."

...

Gu Qingshan rode a horse and went out of town with Liu Xunshou.

"Haha, how about it, brother Gu?" Liu Xunshou asked.

"Everyone is in love, Gu is a little ashamed to take it." Gu Qingshan said.

I went to see my colleagues before.

Some people patted their **** to cover the evening banquet; then someone wrapped the entire banquet the next day; some people called for a few little girls to come over to ensure that he was satisfied; even their colleagues directly wanted to worship the handle.

Everyone said that they should be there an hour earlier and bet on the last one.

Mr. Lin Lin, although quite a bit of black smoke, really made Gu Qingshan feel everyone's enthusiasm.

——Maybe the arrow has spread and my colleagues are very enthusiastic.

"Liu, are our salaries high?" Gu Qingshan asked.

"Why is this?" Liu Xunshou asked.

"The restaurant is right in the middle of the county seat. I just passed by and it seems that the cost will not be small-is this too much trouble for everyone?" Gu Qingshan said.

"Haha, all right, in the whole county, which restaurant dare to ask our county to collect money?" Liu Xunshou said indifferently.

Gu Qingshan nodded and said, "If you gamble with money-the younger brother is here when he first arrives, there is no money in him, I am afraid I can only watch it."

Liu Xunshou didn't care: "Someone will send money when the time comes. You just have to have fun."

Gu Qingshan wondered: "Someone sent money?"

"Yes, just call some big merchants, and they will prepare the money and things in advance, without you worrying." Liu Xun guarded.

"Why is this so?" Gu Qingshan asked.

Liu Xunshou patted his chest and said, "The peace on this side is guarded by us. What do they pay for?"

Gu Qingshan said: "This is also true. I have no problem with gambling and eating, but a colleague with a surname of Li said he would call a few little girls-"

"Hahaha, don't worry, he is looking for a good family, one word-safety!" Liu Xunshou said.

"Good family?" Gu Qingshan asked.

"Brother Gu, the entire city is our county magistrate, and we are also ordered to guard one side--the moneyless dalits either give money or contribute, in short, we must find a way to serve us well, so that we can protect them vigorously, no Is it? "

"What if they don't?" Gu Qingshan asked.

"If you want to survive, you must follow the rules." Liu Xunshou said lightly.

Gu Qingshan laughed: "That's it, I understand."

The two raced fast and quickly left the city and came to a ferry outside the city.

It is not far from the county seat here, there are only dozens of miles away, and there are several boats crossing the river.

The two got off the horse and walked towards the river.

"After you throw the seal into the river, things will be done." Liu Xunshou said.

"So simple?" Gu Qingshan asked.

"Some monsters may be alarmed. In case they do, it depends on your ability." Liu Xunshou said.

He handed the seal to Gu Qingshan, and then backed away a distance.

Gu Qingshan took it and saw that there were two boys engraved on the seal:

"Jiuping."

Jiuping-

Seems like the name of a nearby town.

Gu Qingshan looked at Liu Xunshou and asked his doubts.

Liu Xuanshou shouted from a distance: "What's wrong?"

Gu Qingshan also shouted, "There are two words on it!"

Liu Xunshou shouted, "What is it?"

Gu Qingshan was about to say, a sudden move in his heart.

This seal was saved by Liu Xunshou all the way. When he took it out, the two characters on the seal were facing him. Didn't he see it?

Or--

Gu Qingshan trot back all the way and handed the seal to Liu Xunshou: "Look, there are two words on it."

Liu Xunshou squinted and said: "It is really two words. I don't have a good look. What does this write?"

Gu Qingshan felt something, and immediately said, "I'm dissatisfied with my brother. I grew up in a mountain village and I've never been literate."

Liu Xunshou seemed relieved and said, "It's okay, I don't know much."

-This is embarrassing.

The two were silent, looking at each other, and suddenly laughed.

Liu Xunshou's face was a little more kind.

Gu Qingshan also became more enthusiastic.

but--

A patrolman represents the martial arts of the county magistrate, and at the same time has to perform various errands, but is illiterate.

There were countless thoughts in Gu Qingshan's heart, and he continued, "I have seen others read this first word, it seems to be nine, and I don't know the second word."

Liu Xunshou patted his thigh and said suddenly: "I know then, since the first word is nine, the second word must be ping."

"Why is Ping?"

"Because there is only one town called Jiuping below our county seat, other villages and towns do not have the word nine."

He urged Gu Qingshan again: "Okay, you work first, and then I tell you."

Gu Qingshan couldn't help but had to go to the river with his seal and look back towards Liu Xunshou all the way.

—Looking at his appearance, it seemed to be ready to escape at any time.

Gu Qingshan murmured in his heart, held the seal, and stretched out his hand towards the river.

Grunt!

The seal sank in the water and disappeared quickly.

The river boiled like boiling water.

A black fish with six eyes floated from the water and rushed towards Gu Qingshan.

There was a thunderbolt on the longbow.

In a short time, the arrow had hit the black fish and bombed it in midair.

Gu Qingshan trembled his long bow, his hand was like a shadow, and he shot dozens of arrows like a cannon.

Those arrows were drawn in a sharp arc in the air, and they were inserted into the six eyes of the black fish, and then covered the whole body.

thump--

The black fish dropped in the river water, sank, and his belly floated upwards, never moving again.

The carcass drifted away with the river.

Gu Qingshan stood by the river and went back to the children.

Killing this fish made him remember many things again.

This time, memory recovery is a bit faster.

——So besides cheating, you are still a killer?

He thought for a while, put away his bow, and turned to walk towards Liu Xunshou.

"Brother Liu, what happened to the seal just now?" He asked.

Liu Xunshou looked at his calm face, and then looked at the quiver behind him.

——The quiver is empty.

In a hurry, he shot all the forty-two arrows in the quiver completely.

Liu Xunshou sighed and said, "My brother has a good skill-the seal is issued by the court, and it will be sent to the county every so often, mainly to keep the five elements everywhere."

"That seal is engraved with 'Jiuping'. Is it for Jiuping?" Gu Qingshan asked.

"That's right. As long as there is a seal, the possibility of the town being attacked by monsters will be reduced." Liu Xunshou said.

"Then why did you let me throw the seal into the river?"

"Because Jiuping Town no longer exists."

"……why?"

Liu Xuanshou sighed and said, "The night before, the town had been attacked by monsters, and only a small half survived."

"Then why did you lose this seal?" Gu Qingshan asked.

"Although the town no longer exists, the seal has the effect of soothing the five elements. It just keeps the river in the direction of the county seat to ensure the safety of the county seat." Liu Xunshou said.

"Since there are still people living, why not send a seal to protect them?" Gu Qingshan asked.

"Of course, the safety of the county seat is more important, brother." Liu Xun said as he took it for granted.

Gu Qingshan nodded and didn't speak again.

They quickly returned to the city.

Liu Xunshou first reported the whole process, and then Gu Qingshan was called in again.

"Gu Xunshou, what did you gain from this trip?" The magistrate asked with a smile.

"This kind of thing is very simple. In the future, I can go alone to ensure that there will be no problems." Gu Qingshan said.

"Good!" The magistrate complimented, and said, "Gu Xunshou, after that, every five days, you will go out of the city to release the seals.-When things are done, the whole county will be safe. I have your advantage here. . "

"Yes, sir." Gu Qingshan said.

...

Gu Qingshan returned to his yard.

He cooked himself a pot of tea and sat under the tree, thinking while drinking tea.

At this time, most of his memory came back, and only the last period of time could not be remembered.

What happened after defeating the Screamer?

Gu Qingshan thought hard.

An hour passed.

The tea was cold, but he still couldn't remember what happened after that.

No way.

-It seems that you still have to do what you are familiar with before you can restore your memory.

But is it a kill or a lie?
