"When you use this pebble, it's best to stay away from rivers, lakes, or it will fall directly into the water instead of attacking your enemy, unless the enemy is also in the water. In addition, if you use it near rivers, lakes, or other places, there is a greater chance that you will fall into the water!"

After listening to Jingwei's story, Su Mu thought to himself: These negative effects are indeed in line with Jingwei's personality and experience.

"Do you have any other questions?"

Jingwei flipped her hand and took out a few green peppers.

Su Mu saw that the green pepper was very similar to the tiger-skin five-spirit pepper made by Cai Mao. Thinking back to the five-spice dried ape meat that Jing Wei had just eaten, he couldn't help but ask, "Where did you get these things?"

Jingwei took a big bite of tiger skin five spirit pepper, chewed it, and replied: "It's in the room next to you. There is a cabinet inside. It should be added with runes. The temperature inside the cabinet is very low, and there are a lot of food in it. Do you want to eat? I can help you get some?"

Su Mu was more and more surprised.

According to Jingwei's description, she should have taken the food from the refrigerator in the kitchen.

She could actually get things from the real world on her own? This was something that neither the drum nor the monster could do!

Like a drum, he needs the help of the gourd and sumac to transport wine, spiritual food and other things from the real world to the cage in the dangerous place in the snowy mountains.

If you only rely on yourself, you can't accomplish these things even if you have a gourd in the real world, unless you use a clone projection to take over a physical body in the real world, but there are still many limitations and troubles.

According to the speculation of Su Mu, Wen Wubin and others, this should be the restraint and restriction of the cage on the prisoners.

But why was Jingwei able to break this limitation?

Just because she is the daughter of Emperor Yan?

That drum is still Zhu Jiuyin's child.

Or is it that her strength is above that of the drums and monsters, so she is able to offset the constraints and restrictions of the cage?

Su Mu was about to ask a question when he saw Jingwei, who had eaten a few bites of tiger-skin peppers, suddenly change his expression. He shouted, "This dish is poisonous!" while opening his mouth wide and sticking out his tongue and breathing out air.

Jingwei cast several antidote spells on herself, but none of them had any effect. Instead, her face turned red, and big drops of sweat flowed down. She couldn't help but shout again: "What a powerful poison!"

Su Mu tried hard not to laugh out loud.

He was afraid that Jingwei would really think she was poisoned, or even suspect him of being the one who did it, so he hurriedly explained, "God Jingwei, don't be nervous. You are not poisoned, but the dish is too spicy. Drink some water to suppress the spiciness."

In order to dispel Jingwei's suspicion, he picked up the tiger-skin pepper that Jingwei had not finished eating and took a bite, proving with practical action that it was not poison.

There was spicy food in ancient times, but it did not come from chili peppers, but from ingredients like ginger. Of course, its spiciness could not be compared with that of the five-spirit pepper.

It was the first time that Jingwei ate chili peppers, and the first one was Wuling pepper. It was so spicy that she doubted her life and thought she was poisoned, which was normal.

Since it was not poison, Jingwei was no longer worried. When she heard Su Mu persuade her to drink water, she shook her head repeatedly: "No, I don't drink water. When I see water, I have only one thought, which is to fill it up."

Oh, how could I have forgotten this? Su Mu said helplessly: "Then you can only bear it and wait until the spiciness subsides."

Jingwei stuck out her tongue and kept breathing so hard that her words were a little unclear: "Why do you want to eat such spicy food? Aren't you asking for trouble?"

"When you first eat peppers, you will feel that they are too spicy to bear, but after you eat them a few times and get used to them, you will fall in love with them. And the tiger skin five-spirit pepper you just ate has the effect of improving cold tolerance and resistance, which is very helpful to the eater in certain environments."

"It's so spicy that you'd have to be crazy to love it." Jingwei stuck out her tongue, exhaled and shook her head, looking not very smart. Su Mu wanted to laugh but didn't dare to.

In order to prevent himself from laughing out loud, Su Mu looked away and changed the subject: "Why can you get things from the real world? The gods I met before couldn't do this. They had to rely on believers to sacrifice or other means to do it."

Jingwei stuck out her tongue and said, "He is a prisoner, but I am not. My identity is more like a jailer, except that there is no shift change and I have to keep an eye on the prisoners all the time. Although I have lost my freedom, there are no other restrictions."

This involves a problem that has troubled Su Mu for a long time.

"What mistakes did these imprisoned gods make?"

"I don't know exactly what mistakes they made, but they can be divided into several categories: harming the people; killing colleagues; being afraid of the enemy; surrendering to the enemy. And some of them are demons that emerged from secret realms and cannot be completely eliminated."

Su Mu remembered some historical research books he had read before, which mentioned that during the first and second times of the secret realm’s arrival, there were many strange corpses.

For example, in the book "Classic of Mountains and Seas", there are descriptions about the corpse of an ugly woman, the corpse of a shabby woman, and so on.

These corpses are the transformation of gods, demons, and great monsters after their death. Not only will they not rot, they may also mutate and affect the people and animals around them, turning them into monsters and falling crazy.

The demons that Jingwei mentioned that cannot be completely eliminated should be referring to these corpses of gods, demons and monsters.

Su Mu asked again: "The gods and demons who made mistakes were imprisoned in cages. So where did the gods who did not make mistakes go?"

"I don't know." Jingwei shook her head.

"You don't know?" Su Mu was surprised.

Jingwei quickly solved this doubt for him:

“I died once, and after I was resurrected as a bird, I lost many of my memories.

Moreover, I became a jailer after my resurrection. At that time, the prisoners were in much better condition than they are now, but they were also much more irritable and wanted to escape from prison every day. As a jailer, I had to be highly vigilant and not be distracted for a moment, so I was not clear about the situation outside.

When these prisoners gradually became obedient and fell into a long sleep, I tried to separate a wisp of my spiritual consciousness and send it to the human world, but I found that it didn't work at all. There was a mysterious energy that blocked my connection with the outside world.

I don't know how many years passed, and finally one day I discovered that the shielding of the mysterious energy began to loosen. I hurriedly cast my divine thoughts on the human world, but everything had changed. The previous gods had disappeared, and the tribes and countries had also disappeared, replaced by a dynasty called Han.

During this period, new gods appeared. I also communicated with them, and they didn't know where the previous gods had gone. After a few years, a new secret realm came, and I realized that the loosening of the shield was affected by the secret realm.

The prisoners were also affected, waking up one after another and trying to escape. Fortunately, new gods came to support and helped suppress them.

Although a few prisoners escaped, new prisoners were imprisoned and new gods became jailers.

Since then, I have had no contact with the outside world.”

This secret is not recorded in history books, and only people like Jingwei who were involved know it.

However, from Jingwei's description, we can infer a thing or two: those disappeared gods either sacrificed themselves in the process of purifying the secret realm, or suppressed desperate situations and dangerous places with their own bodies, or like Jingwei, became one of the jailers.

Of course, more investigation and research are needed to determine whether this is the case.

But one thing is very strange, why are there no relevant historical books or records passed down?

Did the gods before them not have the habit of writing history books or diaries? Or did they actually write them, but they were lost or destroyed due to various reasons, such as wars?

Su Mu shook his head slightly. These were not things he could easily come to conclusions about. It all depended on whether those people doing archaeological research on cultivation could find some clues from the mist of history, trace back and uncover the truth.

"I've read in some ancient books that many gods in ancient times were half human and half beast. Is this form innate, or is it acquired through training?"

"Some are born with it, and some are acquired through practice. Most of the born ones are because their parents practiced to become that way, and they successfully inherited their bloodline."

"What about those who failed to inherit the bloodline?"

“They all died suddenly!”

Su Mu raised his eyebrows and asked again: "What kind of training method can turn a person into a half-human, half-beast?"

Jingwei's tone became solemn: "When the innate abilities of strange beasts are integrated, this phenomenon will occur. Although integration can certainly allow people to gain extraordinary abilities, it will also cause people to mutate and take on the form of beasts. The more and more diverse the innate abilities that are integrated, the more obvious this phenomenon will be, and the easier it will be for people to lose themselves and become evil monsters."

[This description is really similar to the gene engulfment and fusion of the Life School! Could it be that people in ancient times really relied on gene engulfment and fusion to improve their strength? ]

"Do you know these cultivation methods? Can you teach me?" Su Mu made a request.

Jingwei said seriously, "I advise you not to try these cultivation methods. They are too dangerous and too uncontrollable. I see that before the second secret realm came, those new gods and cultivators had already figured out a new set of cultivation methods, which were much more mature and less dangerous than ours. I think you should have a safe cultivation method now, right? Even if it's less efficient, at least it won't drive you crazy and turn you into a monster."

Su Mu explained: "Don't worry, Lord Jingwei, I learned this knowledge for research, not to practice it."

Jingwei thought for a moment and said, "If that's the case, then I can teach you. But it's been a long time since I last used this knowledge, so my memory is a little fuzzy. Wait for me to think carefully, recall and organize it, and then I'll teach you."

"Okay." Su Mu certainly had no problem with this.

"But..." Jingwei suddenly changed the subject. "What do you plan to use in exchange for this knowledge?"

Hearing this, Su Mu's eyes lit up and asked, "What does the God of Jingwei want?"

As long as you have something to ask for, I can use it to exchange for more knowledge and good things from you.

This is a win-win situation!
