Chapter 564: Food From the Kitchen

Through Song Shiyi's introduction yesterday, Lu Yao already knew the situation here.

The Gongwei Division was the excavator and leader of the Xiji Palace, led by Xu Fu.

Lu Yao was very curious when he heard this name. Is this Xu Fu the same person as the one who was looking for the elixir for King Qin?

"Yes, that's the one, also named Xu Shi."

Song Shiyi gave an affirmative answer.

"But he won't come here, he will only be in name. When it comes to cooperation with outside parties, the Guards Department will use Xu Fu as the nominal commander-in-chief. This is already a common practice."

Lu Yao was disappointed.

I thought I could meet the legendary alchemist this time and maybe gossip about the people of Wanqu back then. I still have a feather here, but I still don’t know the real name of that feathered person.

Lu Yao retreated and asked the next best thing: "Have you seen Xu Fu?"

Song Shiyi shook his head: "Xu Fu is the archguard envoy of the Gongwei Department and the highest administrator of this organization. He is busy with affairs and rarely shows up."

Lu Yao still had some unfinished ideas, so he asked Ding Hanzhen for advice.

This contemporary Stove Lord is sitting on a wicker chair and is flipping through a tome called "History of Urban Development—Origins, Evolution and Prospects".

"Xiao Huang is interested in Xu Fu?"

Lu Yao said: "The Chinese should all be interested in him."

"Hahaha, yes, Xu Fu is indeed a strange person."

Ding Hanzhen inserted the bookmark into the page and closed the hard cover.

"I met him twice in Haojing, the capital of Da Qin, but it's not accurate to say that I met him. Because although I talked to him, it was through screens or thick glass and curtains. It was difficult to see his appearance clearly. Identify.”

This made Lu Yao couldn't help but wonder: "If no one can see him, can he be identified?"

"I can't say Xu Fu's identity, and I can't falsify it, but the [Jade Seal of the Kingdom] is acceptable. Xiao Huang, you have been to Da Qin, and you should know that gods that are not recognized by Da Qin are evil gods, props and various None of the abilities can be used. Only gods who have been granted ultimatums by the Qin State and registered in the register can exercise the power of gods normally in the territory of Qin with the authorization of the emperor."

Ding Hanzhen explained: "One of the functions of the national jade seal is to confirm the ultimatum through the big seal and register the gods in the book. As soon as the god dies, the ultimatum will immediately become invalid. Even if a latecomer inherits the title of the deceased, the ultimatum cannot be restored. As before."

"Xu Fu's name is among them and has never changed."

Lu Yao remembered silently.

It turns out that Chuan Guo Jade Seal also functions as a central big data center.

"Of course, this is also a unilateral statement made by the Qin State. However, during the cooperation between the committee and the Guards Department, although I have not met Xu Fu himself, some people have."

An enigmatic smile appeared on Ding Hanzhen's face: "This is a secret. According to relevant confidentiality regulations, it cannot be disclosed to unauthorized members."

Lu Yao thought it was a pity.

The old man changed the topic: "But Xiao Huang, you are now a member of our group. According to the applicable regulations for authorization of foreign-related cooperation, you can temporarily grant short-term authorization not exceeding 30 days. However, I still have to emphasize that this matter is confidential, please do not disclose it to anyone." vent."

Lu Yao said solemnly: "Understood."

The old man nodded and said slowly: "Let me talk about the conclusion first. Xu Fu, the Archguard Secretary, is indeed the Xu City recorded in the historical records. This has been confirmed by someone from the committee."

"Of course there are no absolutes in the world, and this conclusion may be overturned by later generations. But just like Newton's first law, we believe first and then question."

"Based on this, what I want to talk about is Xu Fu's current situation."

Ding Hanzhen's voice gradually became serious.

"Xu Fu said that he once searched for the elixir of death for Qin Shihuang. This is true. He found the so-called elixir of death. However, anything dedicated to the emperor needs to be verified, especially medicine."

"So, Xu Fu tried the medicine himself, and he also achieved a transformation that was close to immortality. For this reason, his body changed into another shape."

The old man said softly: "He completed his 'incarnation', but failed to 'ascend to immortality'."

Lu Yao's heart skipped a beat.

The elixir Xu Fu found turned out to be the way to become a Yuren?

It is indeed difficult to say whether it is luck or misfortune.

Lu Yao's mind was racing.

According to the brother of the people of Wanqu, the price of Yu Ren's immortality is that he will continue to peel off his body, along with his past memories and strength.

Stagnated in the virtual world, Yuren will be assimilated by many world rules, resulting in continuous weakening.

From another perspective, the feathered people in the virtual universe theoretically have the point of death. Only by returning to the other side of the world where they are located can they truly regain their immortal and complete bodies.

Xu Fu today may not remember much about the past.

"It seems that you also know something about Yuren, so it will be much easier for me to talk about it."

Ding Hanzhen blew the hot tea from Hongzhen and said, "After Xu Fu became immortal, he fell into continuous weakness. In order to reduce losses and avoid unnecessary abnormalities, he rarely left Haojing."

"This West Pole Country project, Xu Fu is named, but the actual person in charge of the Defense Department is General Wei Qixiang. He is also a capable general in the Defense Department. He is young and has good abilities."

Lu Yao also officially expressed his position: "If Teacher Zao needs anything from me, please just ask."

"Since we are all in the same group, all members are treated equally, no one is exempt. Business is business."

The old man said again: "You are Xiao Song's special intelligence officer. If you can, help her within your ability. She is a good child, but she is not very lucky."

"Don't worry, Miss Song and I have been working closely together."

Lu Yao understood.

The Kitchen God revealed the inside story to him in the hope that he would take care of Song Shiyi.

...

When Lu Yao arrived here, Wei Qixiang and others were in Xiji Palace.

Something happened, and they couldn't solve it independently, so they hurried all the way to ask for help.

Wei Qixiang took off his helmet and held it in one hand. His short hair was full of sweat. He had a clear outline, strong and powerful, and very masculine.

"Master, Pang Li is my personal attendant. He has always been by my side and has never left my sight. In Xiji Palace, I suddenly found that his body was abnormal. He looked the same as before, but in fact he was completely different."

"I didn't dare to delay, so I took Pang Li out to see if it was the effect of the illusion of Xiji Palace. I didn't expect that he didn't return to normal after coming out. I don't even know whether the Pang Li in front of me is real or fake... How did he become a prostitute?"

Wei Qixiang's mouth was tight and his face was full of worry.

"Don't worry, take him to the stove god niche first."

Ding Hanzhen showed a relaxed calmness. He said to the other team members: "You should keep your previous work and come back on time for lunch at 11:30 noon."

"Hongzhen, Xiaohuang, come with me."

The old man led Wei Qixiang and his party to the stove god niche.

Everyone was still busy with their own things.

Lu Yaowan didn't expect that he would be named by the stove god.

He walked into the lobby of the stove god niche and suddenly understood.

The reason is that he doesn't know how to use those professional equipment.

What can he do if he can't use the [Green Fly Tree] and can't play the [Xiangfeng Tongwu]?

Lu Yao remembered an old joke he heard.

It tells a story about a person who only knew how to read in the past and nothing else, and then he was assigned to a factory after graduating from college. He can neither repair machinery nor coordinate workers, and finally the leader can only throw him in the office and let him read newspapers, drink tea and do some other things.

Lu Yao feels that he is now the assigned college student.

Life is probably like this: question college students, understand college students, and become college students!

...

The main discussants are Ding Hanzhen and Wei Qixiang. Lu Yao and Isabel stand aside and watch, being the bystanders he is best at.

Wei Qixiang calls Ding Hanzhen the Supervisor, which sounds a bit like the factory guard, but it is not the case.

Song Shiyi said.

In the Gongweisi system, Ding Hanzhen and Xu Fu are the highest leaders of two groups in the Western Extreme Country. Xu Fu was the Guardian, and Ding Hanzhen was equivalent to the Supervisor in the Guardian Division. Supervisors were somewhat like special commissioners, responsible for inspection and supervision.

Wei Qixiang respectfully called Lao Ding Supervisor Gong, and there was no problem at all.

This time the work site was not in the hall outside, but in a room on the left.

The room was arranged with four wooden frames, and thick candles were placed on the shelves, forming a candle wall. On the left side of the door were white candles and white walls, and on the right side were red candles and red walls.

As soon as Ding Hanzhen came in, he pinched the wick of a candle on the right, and all the red candles lit up, illuminating the whole room red.

Two soldiers put the prostitute Pang Li on a white bed like an operating table, and fixed his two feet and one hand.

Pang Li cooperated very well throughout the process, showing a soldier-like obedience and patience.

Wei Qixiang said to him: "Pang Li, if you are still yourself, believe me. The Supervisor will give proof to confirm your true situation."

Pang Li, lying on the bed, nodded, his chest heaving: "Yes, sir."

Lu Yao observed the wound on Pang Li's broken arm. In the cross section of the broken shoulder, in addition to the bones made of wooden pillars and straw, there is also an elastic tendon like beef tendon.

Ding Hanzhen held a red candle in his right hand and gently pressed Pang Li's shoulder with his left fingers.

Under the light of the fire, you can see that the latex on the cross section of the shoulder has solidified, maintaining a rubber-like elasticity under external pressure.

He said: "Get the food from the stove."

Hongzhen brought a small bowl of glutinous rice balls and a small plate of sugar melon from outside.

Ding Hanzhen placed the sugar melon next to Pang Li and placed a red candle in front of the plate. He picked up the glutinous rice balls and ate them slowly with a spoon.

Seeing that Wei Qixiang and the other four were serious and quiet, Lu Yao also waited patiently.

He suddenly found that the stack of sugar melons beside him had melted and turned back into maltose syrup.

Hongzhen, the girl next to him, scooped a spoonful of syrup with a spoon and put it into Pang Li's mouth, asking him to swallow it.

Pang Li did as he was told.

On the plate.

The thin syrup kept rolling and condensed into a thin brown sugar man. The sugar man walked on the white porcelain plate, looking a bit like a shadow play.

The sugar man walked and stopped, walked around the plate, and suddenly thin sugar lines appeared in the air and entangled him.

Then two sugar men were separated, one sugar man was still walking, and the other sugar man entered the strands of sugar lines, like a bug wrapped in a spider web.

After eating the last glutinous rice ball, Ding Hanzhen wiped his mouth with a tissue: "The person is still there, he really doesn't know what happened."

"Pang Li's body is in the Xiji Palace, we have to go back to rescue him."

As soon as he said it, Wei Qixiang believed it.

"Dugong, can [Zaoshi] find out when Pang Li was divided into two?"

"Zaoshi used to read minds and see shapes, but he himself knew nothing about it, so Zaoshi couldn't do it either."

Ding Hanzhen said to the lieutenant general: "Pang Li only exists in a symbiotic relationship with Changren. He is still himself, but his true body is temporarily lost. Is there any difference between this time and before? How could this happen?"

"We stayed in this time longer than before."

Wei Qixiang pondered for a moment and said: "I divided the team of fourteen people into four groups, three people in each team camped inside, and then took turns with each other, and I took Pang Li to stay inside permanently."

"As long as the number of people and personnel stationed are relatively stable, the scene inside will not change rapidly, which will help us further conduct field surveys."

"It's a small village inside, with a total of 167 people, all Changren. But I can't judge who they are. Agents, or something else. "

"During my communication with them, I felt that they were all very normal, as if they had no idea that they were just puppets made."

"The village's prostitutes can farm and herd by themselves. Apart from their special race, there is no difference. We never interfere with or touch them, and they will not attack us, just like ordinary people."

Ding Hanzhen thought for a while: "Then, does Commander Wei have something that can prevent him from being transformed by prostitutes like Pang Li?"

"There is one."

Wei Qixiang took out a palm-length black tiger talisman from his waist: "This is the [Commander's Soldier Talisman], which is assigned by the Qin Dynasty to specific officers to mobilize the army. With the blessing of the [Imperial Seal], it can obtain strong protection, and most spells or forbidden spells are difficult to work on me."

Lu Yao tried it and found that it was true.

The True Vision Spell could not get Wei Qixiang's panel.

"That's basically what happened."

Ding Hanzhen frowned: "You and Pang Li didn't touch them, and there were no other abnormalities. It seems that it is only related to the variable of time..."

"But there is a strange thing. I heard it from the villager Changren."

Wei Qixiang said: "The villagers said that there is a monster sleeping underground. It sleeps most of the time. Once it wakes up, it will feed on people. But we have never seen any trace of the so-called monster."

Ding Hanzhen's eyes were thoughtful. He looked at Lu Yao: "Xiao Huang, what do you think?"

His words made Wei Qixiang and the two soldiers look at him inquiringly and expectantly.

"..."

I am?

You asked me?

Lu Yao could only pretend to be calm and said: "I think we should check the origin of Changren first."

Wei Qixiang immediately replied: "Mr. Huang is right, but the Guardian Division has verified the origin of Changren. King Zhou Mu had dealt with Changren..."
