Chapter 566: Three-eyed Yanshi

Everyone sat down around the dining table.

The two Ding Hanzhen stood on the left and right, like two door gods.

Lu Yao had to use the spell of true vision to identify the original body and the instigator.

Ding Hanzhen took the teacup handed over by Hongzhen and said, "After entering the Xiji Palace, I will take Hongzhen to conduct a step-by-step survey along the area that Pang Li has 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 prostitute here.

At the same time, the village inside is changing rapidly.

There are more houses visible to the naked eye. The mud ground has been replaced by stone roads, and the thatched houses have been transformed into wooden houses with stone walls and courtyards.

The clothing of men, women, old and young became more diverse, and more singers appeared.

In a short period of time, a village evolved and expanded into a small town.

Wei Qixiang explained this as follows: "Our previous investigations have found that the changes in the Xiji Palace will accelerate as more people from the outside world enter, just like a stone thrown into calm water."

"Therefore, I request that the number of people in the Xiji Palace Guard Department be kept to five. The fewer people who enter, the more stable the environment inside will be, and the more suitable it will be for investigation."

"It should be you, Lord Du, and Miss Hongzhen who entered here and affected the changes in Xiji Palace. The more powerful the gods who entered, the more direct the impact would be."

This was Ding Hanzhen’s first time entering the Xiji Palace.

Before that, he was doing peripheral surveys.

The cycle of a relic excavation project is always long, basically in units of 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 synchronized. In other words, even if it is one day in the outside world, Ding Hanzhen will indeed spend more than ten years here.

Coupled with the serious shortage of manpower, Ding Hanzhen's progress is very slow.

He made a series of sand table reproductions and comparative checks of the near-ground sea of ​​clouds, stone floors, bird totems, and stilt-style building structures, mainly for technical support.

Only with the joining of Song Shiyi, Lu Yao and others did he get to move forward.

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

In the Xiji Palace, the prostitutes 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 the elegant language that serves as the official language, there is the Wu dialect of Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the fifth and sixth centuries AD, there is ancient Cantonese, there is the Jin dialect, there is the Min dialect, there are southwestern dialects... there are many, many more.

Ding Hanzhen only recognized a limited number of them, but fortunately the divine nature gave the gods the ability to communicate without obstacles in the virtual universe.

What he could be sure of was that the promoters here came from different times and regions.

It seems that these people live together, but it seems more like they are forced together by external forces. Although they are also accustomed to dialects, the people have already completed language integration and can communicate with each other.

The locals in Xiji Palace are very willing to chat and have no aversion to outsiders.

"Hello... I was born during the Yuanfeng period of the Han Dynasty. I fell off a cliff and was led 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 alive?"

The State of Liu was a vassal state during the Spring and Autumn Period.

"Old man, has our Jin State defeated the Qin State?"

The era of contention between Qin and Jin.

"I must have drowned during the Yongchu period, and when I woke up I was brought here by a divine being."

This person was from the Song Dynasty during the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

…

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

They were brought into the Xiji Palace because they were about to die or had already died for various reasons. As for the appearance of the gods and immortals who brought them here, they could not describe it clearly.

It advocates that people should work at sunrise and rest at sunset like normal people.

Here, farming and raising livestock are not for the sake of satisfying appetite, but a leisurely lifestyle.

"It's really great that people won't go hungry in Wonderland."

Most advocates are proud of this.

Ding Hanzhen checked it out on the spot and found that the crops planted in the soil and the livestock raised in the pens were nothing but illusions created by some advanced magic.

The boundaries of the village are expanding little by little, as if a small world is evolving.

But in the eyes of advocates, this is all normal.

This is what fairyland is like.

This one sentence explains everything.

Being in the paradise of Xiji Palace, they had no worries and had gotten used to everything here.

Ding Hanzhen retraced the route that Pang Li had patrolled, which was a field ridge near the edge of the village. Now, the mist beside it had further dissipated, revealing large areas of land and weeds.

There was nothing suspicious around the edge of the field.

According to Pang Li himself, he was always within the sight of Lieutenant General Wei Qixiang and did not see anything strange. He just seemed to be in a daze for a moment.

Ding Hanzhen noticed, however, that there were no people around the field, as if it was some kind of convention.

He asked people nearby, but they all avoided talking about it, as if it was some kind of taboo.

There was a little boy riding a cow, who was so greedy for Ding Hanzhen’s food that he couldn’t help but tell him.

"There was a man-eating monster, and that 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 would suddenly disappear. They were all eaten. There is a monster suppressed under the fairyland. The monster is very scary. It is said that it only comes out once every many years."

"It must have been woken up by an outsider, so it was eaten."

Ding Hanzhen followed up with, "What does that underground monster look like?"

"I don't know. I can't see it."

"Who is the great immortal?"

"I don't know. Do you have any more candy?"

…

Although the child's words were exaggerated, 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 ferocious beast, triggered a certain rule mechanism at the moment of death and was transformed into a Changren.

There is no trace of the monster, and the only thing that can be controlled is near death.

Ding Hanzhen decided to try it himself.

Hongzhen volunteered to do it in his place.

Even if the group of Soul Eaters dies, they can still find a way to reunite and revive again.

Through the effect of specific props, Hong Zhen entered a near-death state, but recovered in an instant, but had become a prostitute.

Ding Hanzhen found some clues.

"Stove Food" showed that some kind of rule power remained and was synchronized and exchanged with Hong Zhen. This scene was exactly the same as the transformation of Pang Li's sugar man.

It cannot be observed by the naked eye, and high-precision props cannot capture it.

It is suspected to be a Xiji Palace-specific phenomenon formed by a regular complex.

Previous speculation has also been preliminarily confirmed.

As long as the person who enters falls into the state of near-death, he will be immediately transformed into a prostitute.

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

After his near-death experience, he came to his senses and found that he had also become a prostitute.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

But this time Ding Hanzhen had already made a plan and left a mark on the original body.

"Hongzhen, 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 Hongzhen, Ding Hanzhen, in human form, used the candles for offering sacrifices to the kitchen god to find his way back. His boundary chain was still usable, but he had just replaced it with a special substitute.

The impact is not significant.

The flame of the kitchen god candle points straight to the sky.

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

He found his body among the clouds in the sky. There were various bodies preserved in the clouds, only a few of which were still alive, and all the flesh and blood bodies were in a state of extremely low temperature.

And in this cloud where the body is stored, there is still a lively living person.

The man was driving a strange wooden wheeled vehicle with a sail on the top that could glide in the clouds.

The driver spoke in a very difficult and ancient Chinese accent and was shouting and waving at him from a distance.

Ding Hanzhen could only vaguely make out that the other party's language was between the ancient language of the Shang Dynasty and classical Chinese.

When the two sides got closer, he could see the appearance of the person coming.

The man was between thirty and forty years old. He was wearing a turban, a long linen robe, and a short coat on the outside. He looked dark and thin, and there was curiosity in his eyes when he looked at me.

Ding Hanzhen used the ability of the Kitchen God to identify the other party's identity. He then used his divine power to overcome the language barrier and communicated with the other party.

"We have to wait for the promoter to complete it. Don't be anxious."

The man waved his hands and said, "Don't be impatient, don't be impatient. If you are impatient, you will hurt this person. You can move around now, but please don't fight or damage this body. Only when the final creation is completely completed, can you truly make the fake look real and become a human being."

Ding Hanzhen asked him: "Yanshi, was it the Emperor of Zhou who sent you here?"

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

Yanshi was very straightforward: "Sir, does the emperor 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 whole situation.

Yanshi mastered the unique technique of making dancers. When he heard that the King of Zhou was returning from the west, he went to offer his skills in order to borrow the power of King Mu of Zhou to make more dancers.

The King of Zhou was amazed by Yanshi's superb craftsmanship. He brought him back to Zhou and sent him to the Xiji Palace, where he allowed the craftsman to continue producing figurines.

Yanshi can create a human figure in an instant, but there is a prerequisite, which is that it must use a living person with flesh and blood as the template and raw material.

The initiator made is in tune with the mind of the deity.

If the original body is not dead, it is like one person having two bodies.

The Xiji Palace was transformed by the Emperor of Zhou and integrated with the power of Yanshi. Yanshi can transform any flesh and blood body that enters the Xiji Palace at any time and anywhere in the cloud, and use the [Overlap of Truth and Falsehood] to instantly complete the exchange of life and death bodies.

The dying people were sent to the Cloud Top of the Xiji Palace, so that Yanshi could help them revive from their mutilated bodies in this way.

After the initiators are made, they are placed in the lower world to make sure that they can do whatever they want. This period can take anywhere from a few years to several decades.

During the activity test, the two most common faults of the advocates were not being able to feel pain, and being too happy. These two points are very strange in normal people and require long-term observation and adjustment.

Eventually, those who have completed the resurrection process will be sent back to the outside world. As for where they will be sent, Yanshi does not know.

From some unknown day, the Xiji Palace suddenly broke down and it was no longer possible to take the prostitute out.

Yanshi hasn't seen a dying body coming in for many years.

The lonely craftsman said, "Are you sent by the king to extract the oracles? Excluding those who have been taken away, there are a total of 18,436 oracles still alive here. Apart from their 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 own body and Hongzhen's body from Yanshi, and also brought back the body of a prostitute, thus gaining two agents in total.

…

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

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

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

Taking into account that the 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!

Is it true that someone can do one thing over and over again for ten million years?

Lu Yao was very skeptical about this.

He once took a part-time job in college, packaging chocolates in a factory. Just two days of doing that made him feel numb and unbearable.

The ancients had greater endurance and survival abilities, but could they really do so to this extent?

"Xiao Huang found out?"

Both Ding Hanzhen laughed.

The advocate Ding Hanzhen looked at Lu Yao: "You are right. I saw it clearly when I met him. Yanshi is not a normal person. He is a divinely gifted person."

"The order given to Yanshi was to produce as many promoters as possible."

"besides."

Ding Hanzhen looked at everyone in the group and gestured, "Yanshi has three eyes, and his left hand is a fake hand, but the eye on his forehead is covered by a headscarf, and his left hand is also covered by his sleeve. It is impossible that King Mu of Zhou did not discover this, but he still brought him back to the country..."

"I'm afraid Master Yan's identity is not simple either."
