Chapter 564 Kitchen Food

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

 Gongweisi was the excavator and leader of 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 called Xu Shi.”

 Song Shiyi gave an affirmative answer.

“But he will not 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 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 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 Kitchen God 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 his identity be determined?"

"I can't say Xu Fu's identity, and I can't falsify it, but the [Jade Seal of the Nation] is OK. Xiao Huang, you have been to Da Qin, you should know that gods that are not recognized by Da Qin are evil gods, props and all kinds of 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 national jade seal is to confirm the ultimatum through the big seal and register the gods in the book. As soon as the **** 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 remembered it silently.

 It turns out that Chuan Guo Yuxi 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 Arch Guards Department, although I have not seen Xu Fu himself, some people have."

An enigmatic smile appeared on Ding Hanzhen's face: "This is confidential. 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 in a deep voice: "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 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 the current situation of Xu Fu.”

Ding Hanzhen’s voice gradually became serious.

“Xu Fu said that he once searched for the elixir of death for Qin Shihuang, which 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 almost immortal. 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?

That is indeed difficult to say whether it is lucky or unlucky.

Lu Yao’s mind was running rapidly.

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

Standing 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 took the hot tea handed over by Hongzhen and blew on the hot air: "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: "Teacher Zao, if you need me to do anything, please just ask."

“Since we are all in the same group, all members are 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, please help her. She is a good child, but she is not very lucky."

“Please rest assured that Ms. Song and I have been working closely together.”

 Lu Yao understood.

 The Kitchen Lord 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 independently, 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 had a chiseled face, a powerful look, and was very masculine.

"Governor, Pang Li is my personal attendant. He has always been by my side and has never left my sight from the beginning to the end. In the West Ji Palace, I suddenly discovered that something was wrong with 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... and what happened to him? Became an advocate.”

Wei Qixiang’s mouth was 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 other team members: "You should keep your previous work and come back for lunch on time at 11:30 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 Kitchen God.

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.

 I don’t know how to play [Green Clam Tree], and I can’t play [Xianfeng Tongwu], so what can I do?

Lu Yao remembered an old joke he heard.

　　It is about a person who could only read and know nothing else in the past, and then he was assigned to a factory after graduating from college. He could neither repair machinery nor coordinate workers. In the end, the boss had no choice but to leave him in the office and ask him to read newspapers, drink tea and do other things.

Lu Yao feels that now he is 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 took Isabel to stand aside and watch, being his best person.

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

Song Shiyi once said.

In the Guards System, Ding Hanzhen and Xu Fu are the top leaders of the two groups in the West Country. Xu Fu was the envoy of the Gongwei Department, while Ding Hanzhen was equivalent to the director of the Gongwei Department. The sidu was somewhat like a special commissioner, responsible for inspection and 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 hall outside, 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. There are white candles on the left side of the door, which is a white wall, and there are red candles on the right side, which is a red wall.

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 with red.

 Two soldiers placed the man, 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 process, showing military-like obedience and patience.

Wei Qixiang said to him: "Pang Li, if you are still you, 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: "As ordered."

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 is also an elastic tendon that looks 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, 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 some food from the stove."

Hongzhen brought a small bowl of glutinous rice **** 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 himself picked up the dumplings 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 men were separated. One candy man was still walking, and the other candy man 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: "The person is still here, he really doesn't know what happened."

“Pang Li’s body is in the Xiji Palace, and we have to go back to rescue him.”

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

“Du Gong, can [Zao Shi] find out when Pang Li was split into two?”

“The Zao Food is used to read minds and shapes. He himself doesn’t know anything 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 entering this time and before? How could this happen?"

“We went in this time 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. One team of three camped inside, and then took turns with each other. I and Pang Li stayed there permanently."

“As long as the number and personnel stationed there are relatively stable, the scenes 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 advocates. But I can't tell yet whether they are the agents of someone else or something else."

“When communicating with them, I felt that they were all normal, as if they had no idea that they were just manufactured puppets.”

“The people in the village will farm and herd by themselves. Except for their special race, there is no difference. We never disturb or touch them, and they will not attack us, just like ordinary people.”

Ding Hanzhen thought for a while: "So, is there something about Wei Shen 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 looked thoughtful in his eyes and turned his gaze to Lu Yao: "Xiao Huang, what do you think?"

his voice made Wei Qixiang and the two soldiers 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 Division has verified the origin of the advocate. King Mu of Zhou had dealt with the advocate..."
