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.
When Lu Yao heard this name, he was very curious. 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 will not come here on site, 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 for a while.
I thought I could meet the legendary alchemist this time, and maybe I could gossip about the people of Wanqu back then. I still have a feather here, but I still don’t know the real name of the feathered man.
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 wonder: "If no one can see him, can his identity be determined?"
"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, with the authorization of the emperor, exercise the power of gods normally in the territory of Qin."
Ding Hanzhen explained: "One of the functions of the imperial 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 the 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 silently remembered it.
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 subject: "But Xiao Huang, you are now a member of our group. According to the applicable regulations for authorization of foreign cooperation, you can temporarily grant short-term authorization not exceeding days. However, I still have to emphasize that it is confidential, please do not leak it.
."
Lu Yao said in a deep voice: "Understood."
The old man nodded and said slowly: "Let me talk about the conclusion first. Xu Fu, the archguard, is indeed the Xu city recorded in 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 has completed his 'incarnation', but he has not been able 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's really hard to say whether it's luck or misfortune.
Lu Yao's mind was racing rapidly.
According to the brother of the people of Wanqu, the price of the Yuren's immortality is that they will continue to peel off their bodies, along with their past memories and powers.
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 emerged, he fell into continuous weakness. In order to reduce losses and avoid unnecessary abnormalities, he rarely left Haojing."
"Xu Fu is named in this West Pole Country project, 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 should be treated equally, no one is exception. Business is business."
The old man added: "You are Xiao Song's special intelligence agent. If you are able to do so within your capabilities, please help her. She is a good child, but she is not very lucky."
"Please rest assured, 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 the Xiji Palace.
Something happened and they couldn't solve it on their own, so they hurried over to ask for help.
Wei Qixiang took off his helmet and held it with one hand. His short hair was covered with sweat. He was chiseled, powerful and very masculine.
"Governor, Pang Li is my personal attendant. He has always been by my side and has never left my sight from beginning to end. In the Xiji Palace, I suddenly discovered that there was an abnormality in his body. His appearance seemed to be the same as before.
But it’s actually completely different.”
"I didn't dare to delay, so I brought Pang Li out to see if it was the illusion of the West Ji Palace. Unexpectedly, he didn't return to normal after coming out. I didn't even know whether the Pang Li in front of me was real or fake... He again How to become an advocate."
The corners of Wei Qixiang's mouth tightened, and his face was filled with sadness.
"Don't be anxious, bring him to the Kitchen King's niche first."
Ding Hanzhen showed a relaxed calmness and said to the other team members: "You should keep your previous work and come back on time for lunch at noon."
"Hongzhen, Xiao Huang, come with me."
The old man led Wei Qixiang and his party towards the Kitchen King's shrine.
Everyone is still busy with their own affairs.
Lu Yao never expected that he would be named by the Stove Prince.
He walked into the lobby of the Kitchen King's Shrine and suddenly understood.
The reason is that I don’t know how to use those professional equipment.
What can I do if I don’t know [Green Clam Tree] and I can’t play [Xianfeng Tongwu]?
Lu Yao remembered an old joke he heard.
It tells the story of a person who only knew how to read in the past and knew nothing else. Then he was assigned to a factory after graduating from college. He could neither repair machinery nor coordinate workers. In the end, the leader could only leave him in the office. Let him read the newspaper, drink tea and do something interesting.
Lu Yao felt that now he was the assigned college student.
Life is probably like this: question college students, understand college students, and become college students!
…
The main discussants were Ding Hanzhen and Wei Qixiang. Lu Yao and Isabel stood aside to watch, being the crowd-pleasers he was best at.
Wei Qixiang called Ding Hanzhen the Governor, which sounded a bit like a factory guard, but it was not the case.
Song Shiyi once said.
In the system of the Gongwei Department, Ding Hanzhen and Xu Fu belong to the top leaders of the two groups in the Kingdom of the West. Xu Fu is the Gongwei envoy, and Ding Hanzhen is equivalent to the governor within the Gongwei Department. Sidu is somewhat like a special commissioner, responsible for inspections. Supervision.
There is no problem at all for Wei Qixiang to honor Lao Ding as Governor.
This time the working place is not in the outer hall, but in a room on the left.
The house is decorated with wooden frames on four sides, and thick candles are placed on the shelves to form a candle wall. On the left side of the door are white candles, which is a white wall, and on the right side are red candles, which are a red wall.
As soon as Ding Hanzhen came in, he casually pinched the wick of a candle on the right, and all the red candles lit up, illuminating the whole room red.
Two soldiers placed the advocate Pang Li on a white bed like an operating table and fixed his two feet and one hand.
Pang Li was very cooperative throughout the entire process, showing military-like obedience and patience.
Wei Qixiang said to him: "Pang Li, if you are still you, just believe me. The governor will give you proof to confirm your true situation."
Pang Li, who was lying on the bed, nodded, his chest rising and falling: "Yes."
Lu Yao observed the wound on Pang Li's broken arm. In the cross-section of the broken shoulder, apart from the bones made of wooden posts and wheat straw, there was also an elastic tendon that looked like beef tendon.
Ding Hanzhen held a red candle with his right hand, and gently pressed Pang Li's shoulder with the fingers of his left hand.
Under the firelight, it can be seen that the latex on the cross section of the shoulder has solidified, maintaining a rubber-like elasticity under external pressure.
He said: "Get 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.
Lu Yao saw that Wei Qixiang and Wei Qixiang were serious and quiet, so he waited patiently.
He suddenly discovered that the stack of sugar melons next to him had melted and returned to the syrupy state of maltose.
The girl next to her, Hongzhen, scooped up a spoonful of syrup, put it into Pang Li's mouth, and asked him to swallow it.
Pang Li did as he was told.
on the disc.
The thin syrup is constantly rolling, condensing into a thin brown sugar figure. The sugar figure is walking on the white porcelain plate, looking a bit like a shadow puppet show.
The candy man stopped and walked around the plate, and suddenly thin lines of sugar appeared in the air and wrapped around him.
Then two candy figures were separated, one candy figure was still walking, and the other candy figure entered the strands of candy threads, like a small insect wrapped in a spider web.
After eating the last glutinous rice ball, Ding Hanzhen wiped his mouth with a tissue: "He is still here, but 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 him.
"Duke, can [Zao Shi] find out when Pang Li was split into two?"
"The Zao Food can be used to read minds and see shapes. He himself knows nothing about it, and the Zao Food can't change it."
Ding Hanzhen said to the general: "Pang Li only exists in a symbiotic manner with Zhang Ren. He is still him, but his true body is temporarily lost. Is there any difference between this time and before? How could this happen?"
"This time we went in and stayed longer than before."
Wei Qixiang pondered for a moment and said: "The team of fourteen people in total was divided into four groups. Each team of three camped inside, and then took turns with each other. I took Pang Li to stay there permanently."
"As long as the number and personnel stationed there are relatively stable, the scene inside will not change rapidly, which will help us further conduct on-site investigations."
"There is a small village inside, with a total of one hundred and sixty-seven people, all of whom are advocates. But I can't tell yet whether they are the agents of someone else or something else."
"While communicating with them, I felt that they were very normal, as if they had no idea that they were just manufactured puppets."
"The people in the village farm and herd by themselves. Except for their special race, there is no other difference. We never disturb or touch them, and they will not attack us, just like ordinary people."
Ding Hanzhen thought for a while: "Then, does General Wei Shen have something that can prevent him from being transformed like Pang Li?"
"There is one thing."
Wei Qixiang took out a palm-long black tiger talisman from his waist: "This is the [General Soldier Talisman], which is distributed by the Qin Dynasty to specific officers to mobilize the army. It is blessed by the [Jade Seal of the Legend], so it can obtain powerful protection. Most spells or
Even the forbidden spells have no effect on me."
Lu Yao tried it and found that it was true.
The Curse of True Sight was actually unable to obtain Wei Qixiang's panel.
"That seems to be basically what happened."
Ding Hanzhen frowned: "You and Pang Li didn't touch them, and there are no other abnormalities. It seems to be only related to the variable of time..."
"But there is a strange thing. I heard it from the village advocate."
Wei Qixiang said: "The villagers rumored that there is a monster sleeping underground. It sleeps most of the time and will feed on people once it wakes up. But we have not seen any trace of the so-called monster."
Ding Hanzhen's eyes were thoughtful, and he turned his gaze to Lu Yao: "Xiao Huang, what do you think?"
His voice caused Wei Qixiang and the two soldiers to look at him inquiringly and expectantly.
"..."
I am
you ask me
Lu Yao could only pretend to be calm and said: "I think we should first find out the origin of the person."
Wei Qixiang immediately replied: "Mr. Huang is absolutely right, but the Gongwei Department has verified the origin of the advocate. King Mu of Zhou had dealt with the advocate..."
