Chapter 566 Three-Eyed Yanshi

 Around the dining table, everyone took their seats.

 The two Ding Hanzhens, 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.

I, Ding Hanzhen, 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The number of houses visible to the naked eye has increased, the mud floors have been replaced by stone paths, thatched houses have been turned into wooden houses, with stone walls and courtyards.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 investigations have found that the changes in the Xiji 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 Guards Department in 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 that you and Miss Hongzhen, the Governor, enter here and have an impact on the changes in the West Ji Palace. The more powerful the gods enter, the more intuitive this impact will be.”

  Ding Hanzhen entered the Xiji Palace for the first time.

 Before, he was doing peripheral exploration.

 The cycle of a heritage excavation project is always very long, basically ten years.

Although the speed 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 the serious shortage of manpower, the progress on Ding Hanzhen's side was 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.

 Song Shiyi, Lu Yao and others joined the group, allowing him to go inside.

 After entering, Ding Hanzhen quickly tried to communicate with the advocates.

 In Xiji Palace, the advocates were 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 Dialects... there are so many different dialects.

Ding Hanzhen has only identified a limited number of them. Fortunately, the godhead gives the gods the ability to communicate without barriers in the virtual universe.

 What he can be sure of is that the advocates here come from different eras and regions.

 It seems that these people live together, but it is 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 in 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 Liu State, 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 man of God.”

This person is from the Song Dynasty in the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

 …

Ding Hanzhen asked dozens of advocates and found that although they came from different dynasties, they all had similar experiences.

 They were brought to the West Pole Palace because they were about to die or had died due to 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 as ordinary people do.

 Here, farming and animal husbandry are not for food, but a leisurely way of life.

 “It’s really great that you won’t go hungry in Wonderland.”

 Most advocates are proud of this.

Ding Hanzhen has made a real inspection and found that the crops grown in the soil and the livestock raised in the pens are just illusions caused 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 peach blossom garden of Xiji Palace, they have no worries and are used to everything here.

Ding Han Zhenzhong took 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 line of 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 asked people to avoid talking about it, as if it was some kind of taboo.

He was still a kid riding an ox. He was covetous of Ding Hanzhen’s kitchen food and couldn’t help but tell him.

"There is a man-eating monster. The foreigner must have been eaten. It must have been a great **** who saved him, otherwise he would have died."

The cowherd boy ate the sticky sugar melon, smashed it and said: "There are also people in the village who suddenly disappear, and they are all eaten. There is a monster suppressed under the fairyland. The monster is very scary. It is said that it takes many years to become a monster. Come out once.”

 “The stranger must have woken it up, so it was eaten.”

Ding Hanzhen said: "What does the underground monster look like?"

 “I don’t know. I can’t see it.”

 “Who is the great god?”

 “I don’t know. Do you have any more sugar?”

 …

 Although the child’s words were exaggerated, the information he revealed is worth thinking about.

Assuming that the prerequisite for becoming a champion 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 champion.

 There is no trace of the monster, only the near death is controllable.

  Ding Hanzhen decided to try it himself.

Hongzhen took the initiative to ask Ying to do it in his place.

 Even if the group of food spirits dies, they can still manage to unite and revive again.

Hongzhen entered a state of near-death through the use of specific props, but in an instant Hongzhen recovered as before and became an advocate.

  Ding Hanzhen discovered some clues.

“Zao Shi” shows that some kind of regular power remains and is synchronized and exchanged with Hongzhen. This scene is exactly the same as the transformation of Pang Li's candy man.

 It cannot be observed with the naked eye, and high-precision props have also failed to capture.

Suspected to be a specific phenomenon of Xijigong formed by a regular complex.

 Previous speculations have also been initially confirmed.

As long as the entrant is on the verge of death, he will be immediately transformed into an advocate.

After Ding Hanzhen made a lot of preparations, he conducted the experiment on himself for the second time. He removed some of his own defensive measures to avoid the failure of the rules.

 After the near-death experience, he came back to his senses and found that he had become a human being.

But this time, Ding Hanzhen had already planned it and put a mark on the body.

"Hongzhen, I'm going to find all the lost bodies. You go back first and tell everyone for me..."

 The food spirit returns after receiving the order.

 After separating from Hongzhen, Ding Hanzhen, who advocated human body, used a kitchen candle to find her all the way. His realm chain is still usable, he just changed to a special body.

 The impact is not big.

 The flame of the stove candle points straight to the sky.

Ding Hanzhen rode the wind, experienced strong winds and turbulence, and entered a new world amidst tinnitus and dazzling light.

 He found his body among the clouds in the sky. There are all kinds of bodies preserved in the clouds, only a handful of them remain active, and all flesh and blood bodies are in a state of extremely low temperature.

 But in this cloud where the physical body is stored, there is still a flexible living person.

The man was driving a weird wooden wheeled cart with a sail on the top that could glide and fly in the clouds.

The driver spoke a very difficult to pronounce ancient Chinese, and he shouted and waved at him from a distance.

Ding Hanzhen could only vaguely recognize that the other party’s language was somewhere between ancient Shang dialect and classical Chinese.

 After the two sides got closer, he saw clearly the appearance of the person coming.

This man is between thirty and forty years old, wearing a turban, dark clothes made of linen, and a short coat. He looks dark and thin, and looks at himself with curiosity in his eyes.

Ding Hanzhen used the ability of [Kitchen God] to identify the other party's identity. He also used his divine power to smooth the language barrier and communicate with the other party.

 “You have to wait until people can complete it, don’t be anxious.”

The man waved his hands and said: "Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, you will damage the advocate. You can move around now, but please don't fight or damage this body. Only when the final creation is completely completed can the fake be confused with the real one. Become a human being.”

Ding Hanzhen asked him: "Master Yan, did the Emperor of Zhou send you here?"

"Yes, I will obey the king's order, imitate the art of human transformation, and create an exchange of life and death."

Yanshi was very straightforward: "Sir, does the emperor have any new orders?"

 He regarded Ding Hanzhen as an aristocratic minister sent by King Mu of Zhou Dynasty.

 The two sides had a discussion from simple to profound.

Ding Hanzhen gradually figured out the context.

Yanshi mastered the unique technology of making advocates. Hearing that Emperor Zhou was returning from the west, he went to perform his skills in order to make more advocates with the help of King Mu of Zhou.

 The Emperor of Zhou was so impressed by Yan Shi's superb skills that he brought him back to the Zhou Kingdom and sent him to the West Ji Palace so that the craftsman could continue to make people.

Yanshi's creation of human beings can be completed instantly, but there is a prerequisite, which is that living people of flesh and blood must be used as templates and raw materials.

 The created advocate has a mind-to-heart connection with the deity.

 If the deity is not dead, it is like a person with two bodies.

The Xiji Palace was transformed by Emperor Zhou, integrating it with the power of Yanshi. Yanshi can transform any flesh and blood body that enters the Xiji Palace anytime and anywhere in the cloud, and complete it instantly with [authenticity and falsehood overlapping] The exchange of life and death bodies.

Those who were dying were sent to the top of the clouds in the Xiji Palace, and Yanshi helped those people recover from their broken bodies in this way.

 After the advocates are made, they will be put into the world below to confirm that their various actions are okay. This period can range from a few years to decades.

 During the activity test, the two most common faults experienced by advocates are the inability to feel pain and being too happy. These two points are very weird in normal people and require long-term observation and adjustment.

 Finally, those who have completed the whole process of resurrection will be sent back to the outside world. As for where they will be sent, Yanshi doesn’t know.

I don’t know which day, the Xiji Palace suddenly broke down and it was impossible to take the advocate out.

Yanshi has not seen a dying body come in for many years.

The lonely craftsman said: "Are you sent by the king to extract the advocates? Excluding those who were taken away, there are now a total of 18,436 advocates alive here. Except for their different body structures, they are different from the others. There is no fundamental difference between 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 an advocate's body, earning two agents inside and outside.

 …

 After finishing speaking, the old man took a sip of tea.

Lu Yao discovered the key problem: "There is something wrong with Yanshi."

According to the reign of King Zhou Mu, Yanshi has been busy working in the Xiji Palace for 3,000 years so far.

Considering that the West Pole 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, 3000 years is 10.95 million years!

 Can anyone really do the same thing repeatedly for ten million years?

Lu Yao was very skeptical about this.

 He ​​once worked a part-time job in college, packaging chocolates in a factory. Just two days left him with a numb mind and felt unbearable.

 The ancients had greater endurance and ability to survive, but could they really achieve this level?

 “Xiao Huang discovered it?”

 Both Ding Hanzhen laughed.

The advocate Ding Hanzhen looked at Lu Yao: "You are right, I saw it clearly when I met him. Master Yan is not a normal person, he is a divinely inspired person."

"And Yanshi was ordered to create as many advocates as possible."

"besides."

Ding Hanzhen looked at the people in the group, gestured and said: "Master Yan has three eyes, and his left hand is a prosthetic hand. But the eye on his forehead is covered by a scarf, and his left hand is also covered by a sleeve. King Zhou Mu could not have discovered this back then. But we still brought him back home..."

“I’m afraid Yanshi’s identity is not simple.”
