Chapter 566 Three-Eyed Yanshi
Everyone sat down around the dining table.
The two Ding Hanzhen, one on the left and one on the right, are like two door gods.
Lu Yao had to use the spell of true vision to identify the true body and advocate people.
Ding Hanzhen, the original deity, took the tea cup from Hongzhen and said, "After entering the West Ji Palace, I will take Hongzhen to conduct a step-by-step survey along the area that Pang Li walked through..."
…
Ding Hanzhen went to Xiji Palace to help Wei Qixiang find Pang Li's body and try to solve the mystery of the advocate here.
At the same time, the villages inside were changing rapidly.
The houses became more visible to the naked eye, the mud floors were replaced by stone roads, thatched houses turned into wooden houses, with stone walls and courtyards.
The clothing of men, women, old and young has also become more diverse, and more advocates have appeared.
In a short period of time, a village evolved and expanded into a small town.
Wei Qixiang explained this: "Our previous investigation found that the changes in the West Pole Palace will suddenly accelerate as the number of outside entrants increases, just like a stone thrown into calm water."
"Therefore, I request that the number of people in the Security Department of the West Pole Palace be kept at five. The fewer people entering, the more stable the environment inside will be, and the more suitable it will be for investigation."
"It should be the Governor, you and Miss Hongzhen who enter here and have an impact on the changes in the West Ji Palace. The more powerful gods enter, the more intuitive this impact will be."
Ding Hanzhen entered the Xiji Palace for the first time.
He had been doing peripheral surveys before.
The cycle of a heritage excavation project is always very long, basically ten years.
Although the flow of time in the virtual universe is slower than that in the real universe, the movement felt in it is synchronous, which means that even if it is a day in the outside world, Ding Hanzhen will indeed spend more than ten years here.
Coupled with a serious shortage of manpower, Ding Hanzhen's progress here is very slow.
He made a series of sand table reproductions and comparative inspections of the sea of clouds, slate floors, bird totems, and gantry-style architectural structures here, mainly for technical support.
The joining of Song Shiyi, Lu Yao and others allowed him to go inside.
After entering, Ding Hanzhen quickly tried to communicate with the advocates.
In the Xiji Palace, the advocates are also divided into many small groups.
They speak different languages and accents: there is the common language circulated in the region during the Qin and Han Dynasties, there is Yayan as the official language, there is Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Wu dialect in the fifth and sixth centuries AD, there is ancient Cantonese, there is Jin dialect, there is Min dialect, there is Southwest dialect There are many different dialects, to name a few.
Ding Hanzhen only recognized a limited number of them. Fortunately, the godhead gave the gods the ability to communicate without barriers in the virtual universe.
What he was certain of was that the advocates here came from different eras and regions.
It seems like these people live together, but it's more like they were forcibly grouped together by external forces. However, although they are also accustomed to dialects, the advocates have already completed language integration and can communicate with each other.
These locals in Xiji Palace are very happy to chat and have no objection to outsiders.
"Hello... I was during the Yuanfeng period of the Han Dynasty. I fell off a cliff and was introduced to this fairyland by an immortal. Were you also brought here?"
Ding Hanzhen immediately knew that this person was from the Western Han Dynasty.
"I am from the Liu Kingdom. Is Liu Wengong still there?"
Liu State was a vassal state in the Spring and Autumn Period.
"Old gentleman, has Jin defeated Qin?"
The era of Qin and Jin's struggle for hegemony.
"I should have drowned during the Yongchu period, and when I woke up I was brought here by a god."
This person is from the Song Dynasty in the Southern and Northern Dynasties.
…
Ding Hanzhen asked dozens of advocates and found that although they came from different dynasties, they all had similar experiences.
They were brought into the West Pole Palace because they were about to die or had died for various reasons. As for the appearance of the gods and immortals who brought them here, they could not tell clearly.
It is recommended that people work at sunrise and rest at sunset like ordinary people.
Here, farming and animal husbandry are not just for food, but a leisurely way of life.
“It’s really nice that you won’t go hungry in Wonderland.”
Most advocates are proud of this.
Ding Hanzhen checked on the ground and found that the crops grown in the soil and the livestock raised in the pens were all just illusions formed by some high-level magic.
The boundaries of the village are expanding little by little, as if a small world is evolving.
In the eyes of advocates, this is normal.
This is what fairyland is like.
This sentence can explain everything.
Being in the paradise of Xiji Palace, they had no worries and were used to everything here.
Ding Hanzhen followed the route Pang Li had patrolled, which was a field near the edge of the village. Now, the fog nearby has further dissipated, revealing large areas of land and grass.
There is nothing suspicious near Tiankan.
According to Pang Li himself, he was always within the sight of General Wei Qixiang and did not see any strange phenomena, but for a moment he seemed to be in a daze.
Ding Hanzhen noticed that there were no people around the field, as if it was some kind of convention.
He asked people nearby and suggested that people avoid talking about it, as if it was some kind of taboo.
He was still a kid riding a bull, and because he was covetous of Ding Hanzhen's kitchen food, he couldn't help but tell him.
"There is a man-eating monster. The foreigner must have been eaten. It must have been a great god who saved him, otherwise he would have died."
The cowherd boy ate the sticky candy melon and smacked his lips while saying, "Someone in the village also disappeared suddenly. They were all eaten. There is a monster suppressed underground in the fairyland. The monster is very scary. It is said that it only comes out once every many years."
"It must be woken up by an outsider, so it was eaten."
Ding Hanzhen followed up and said, "What does the underground monster look like?"
"I don't know. I can't see it."
"Who is the great immortal?"
"I don't know. Do you still have candy?"
...
Although the child used exaggerated words, the information he revealed is worth thinking about.
Assuming that the prerequisite for becoming a Changren is to be on the verge of death, then Pang Li, who was attacked by an invisible beast, triggered a certain rule mechanism at the moment of death and was transformed into a Changren.
There is no trace of the monster, only the dying thing is controllable.
Ding Hanzhen decided to try it himself.
Hongzhen took the initiative to ask to replace him.
Even if the group of food spirits dies, they can still try to gather and revive again.
Through the effect of specific props, Hong Zhen entered a state of near death, but in an instant, Hong Zhen recovered as before, but had become a prostitute.
Ding Hanzhen found some clues.
"Zao Shi" showed that some kind of rule power remained and was synchronized and exchanged with Hong Zhen. This scene is exactly the same as the transformation of Pang Li's sugar man.
It cannot be observed with the naked eye, and high-precision props also failed to capture it.
It is suspected to be a specific phenomenon of Xiji Palace formed by a rule complex.
The previous speculation has also been preliminarily confirmed.
As long as the entrant falls into near death, he will be immediately transformed into a prostitute.
After Ding Hanzhen made many preparations, he experimented on himself for the second time. He lifted some of his own precautions to avoid the failure of the rules.
After the near-death experience, he came to his senses and found that he had also become a prostitute.
However, this time Ding Hanzhen had already planned and laid a mark on the main body.
"Hong Zhen, I'm going to find all the lost bodies. You go back first and tell everyone for me..."
The food spirit returned after receiving the order.
After separating from Hong Zhen, Ding Hanzhen, who was in human form, used the candle to search for the place. His boundary chain was still usable, but he had just replaced it with a special body.
The impact was not great.
The flame of the candle pointed straight up to the sky.
Ding Hanzhen took off with the wind, experienced strong winds and turbulence, and entered a new world in tinnitus and dazzling light.
He found his body among the clouds in the sky. There were all kinds of bodies preserved in the clouds, and only a few of them remained active. All flesh and blood bodies were in an extremely low temperature state.
And in this cloud where the flesh was stored, there was still a flexible living person.
The man was driving a strange wooden wheel car with a sail on the top of the car, which could glide in the clouds.
The driver spoke a very awkward ancient Chinese, and shouted and waved at him from a distance.
Ding Hanzhen could only vaguely recognize that the other party's language was between the ancient language of the Shang Dynasty and classical Chinese.
When the two sides approached, he saw the appearance of the visitor clearly.
The man was between 30 and 40 years old, with a turban on his head, wearing a linen robe and a short coat on the outside. He looked dark and thin, and his eyes were full of curiosity when he looked at him.
Ding Hanzhen used the ability of [Kitchen God] to identify the other party's identity, and he used his divinity to smooth out the language barrier and communicate with the other party.
"We have to wait for the person to be completed, don't be anxious."
The man waved his hands and said, "Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, you will damage the person if you are anxious. You can move now, but please don't fight or damage this body. Wait until the final creation is completely completed, and you can truly make the fake look real and become a human."
Ding Hanzhen asked him: "Yanshi, did the King of Zhou send you here?"
"Yes, I will obey the king's order and imitate the human transformation technique to create a person who exchanges life and death."
Yanshi was very straightforward: "Sir, does the king have any new orders?"
He regarded Ding Hanzhen as a noble minister sent by King Mu of Zhou.
The two sides had a conversation from shallow to deep.
Ding Hanzhen gradually figured out the thread.
Yanshi mastered the unique technique of making the Changren. Hearing that the King of Zhou had returned from the west, he went to show his skills, with the aim of making more Changren with the help of King Mu of Zhou.
The King of Zhou was amazed by Yanshi's superb skills. After taking him back to Zhou, he sent him to Xiji Palace so that the craftsman could continue to make Changren.
Yanshi could make Changren in an instant, but there was a prerequisite, that is, it must be a living person with flesh and blood as a template and raw material.
The Changren made was in tune with the original body.
If the original body was not dead, it would be like one person having two bodies.
Xiji Palace was transformed by the King of Zhou to make it integrated with Yanshi's power. Yanshi could transform any flesh and blood body that entered Xiji Palace anytime and anywhere in the cloud, and instantly complete the exchange of life and death bodies with [True and False Overlap].
The dying people were sent to the top of the cloud in the Xiji Palace, so that Yanshi could help them revive from their broken bodies in this way.
After the initiators were made, they were placed in the lower world to confirm that they could move freely. This period could be as short as a few years or as long as several decades.
During the activity inspection period, the two most common faults of initiators were that they could not feel pain and they were always too happy. These two points were very strange in normal people and required long-term observation and adjustment.
In the end, the initiators who completed the whole process of resurrection would be sent back to the outside world. As for where they were sent, Yanshi did not know.
From some unknown day, the Xiji Palace suddenly broke down and the initiators could no longer be taken out.
Yanshi hadn't seen a dying body for many years.
The lonely craftsman said: "Are you sent by the king to extract the prostitutes? Excluding those who have been extracted, there are a total of 18,436 prostitutes alive here. Except for the different body structures, they are no different from ordinary people, and their lifespans are very long."
"No. I have something else to ask you."
Ding Hanzhen took back his and Hongzhen's bodies from Yanshi, and also brought back a prostitute's body, earning two prostitutes inside and outside.
...
After speaking, the old man took a sip of tea.
Lu Yao found the key problem: "Yanshi has a problem."
According to the reign of King Mu of Zhou, Yanshi has been working in Xiji Palace for 3,000 years so far.
Considering that Xiji Palace is in the virtual universe, according to the ratio of at least 1 day in the real universe to 10 years in the virtual universe, 3,000 years is 10.95 million years!
Can anyone really do the same thing over and over again for 10 million years?
Lu Yao was very skeptical about this.
He once worked part-time in college, packaging chocolates in a factory. Just two days made his mind numb and unbearable.
The ancients had stronger endurance and survival ability, but could they really do this?
"Xiao Huang discovered it?"
Both Ding Hanzhen laughed.
Ding Hanzhen, the singer, looked at Lu Yao: "You are right. I saw it very clearly when I met him. Yanshi is not a normal person. He is a divinely gifted person."
"And the order that Yanshi received is to make as many singers as possible."
"And."
Ding Hanzhen looked at everyone in the group, gestured and said: "Yanshi has three eyes, and his left hand is a fake hand, but the eye on the forehead is covered by a headscarf, and the left hand is also covered by the sleeve. It is impossible that King Mu of Zhou did not discover this, but he still brought him back to the country..."
"I am afraid that Yanshi's identity is not simple."
