Chapter 571 Great Qin God Throne
Song Shiyi was observing the Yanshi who was in a downtime state when a shadow rushed out of the cloud.
The girl riding on the magic wand landed lightly in the clouds.
Next to her, a tall and strong bearded man named Huang Jia appeared out of nowhere.
Seeing that they were fine, Song Shiyi breathed a sigh of relief and said to them, "Come and look at this."
Lu Yao took Isabel over.
With the ability of [Golden Light], Lu Yao only needs to let Isabel find the main force first, and then he can teleport there. Very convenient.
The light on the top of the clouds was dazzling, and the sky above was like a whole piece of metal plate that was being welded. The strong arc light everywhere made it difficult to look directly at it.
Song Shiyi narrowed her eyes.
But Lu Yao felt okay.
The biggest advantage of Huang Jia's body is that the discomfort he suffers will be greatly reduced. Whether it is pain or soreness, Lu Yao himself is very little affected.
He always appears as cold as a robot because he really cannot feel the pain and discomfort.
Lu Yao looked around along the way.
The cloud top is actually divided into sections. In some places, the clouds are highly condensed, forming a shape that is almost like a large capsule.
He tried to get closer and touch it, and found that there were cryogenic corpses sealed under the high-density clouds. These corpses should be the specimens and templates used by Yanshi to make the Changren.
At this time, the people on the top of the cloud were divided into two groups.
One group was the guards led by Wei Qixiang. They gathered around a cloud, where two doctors in white coats were carrying wooden medicine boxes, examining and giving first aid to Pang Li's frozen body.
The other group was led by Lao Ding, including Lao Ding, Hong Zhen and Song Shiyi, who were all gathered around one person, while Mingzai, the bird, was hovering in the air, continuing to be on guard.
Ding Hanzhen held a candle for offering sacrifices to the kitchen god and stared intently at the human body in front of him.
Lu Yao followed his gaze.
Yanshi stood on a simple wooden wheelbarrow, he stood there blankly, muttering to himself.
…

…
Lu Yao looked at the car under Yanshi's feet.
This wooden wheel vehicle is shaped like a large wooden balance car, with a circle of fenders around it and a mast with a sail raised on it.
…
[Wind Car LV9]: An excellent item that can fly at high altitudes.
HP: 778/ 1992Mana: 1/1 [Flying from the Wind]
It can travel far with the wind and fly into the air.
…
Lu Yao silently compared it in his mind and felt that this prop was not as good as the sky lantern.
The only advantage of the wind-powered car is that it consumes less energy and can fly as long as there is wind. However, it cannot move without wind.
It can only be said that ancient new energy vehicles also need corresponding supporting facilities.
"Soul, come back..."
Yanshi is shirtless, lean and dark-skinned. His left arm is a prosthetic hand made of wood, but the arm and fingers are delicate and lifelike.
There were clear indigo words on his skin.
Some of the characters were shaped like compasses, some like fish bones, and some like farmland and houses. These characters were more like some kind of miniature sketches, making it difficult to accurately determine their meaning.
If you don't understand, just ask. Lu Yao looked at Song Shiyi next to him: "What's written on him?"
"These are bronze inscriptions, which originated in the Shang Dynasty. They were first engraved on bronze vessels such as bells and tripods, and later became widely used in the Western Zhou Dynasty. The characters on Yanshi's body are encrypted and cannot be directly obtained by divine power. Teacher Zao spent a lot of time and basically deciphered them."
Miss Song explained: "The general meaning is, 'Yanshi represents Penglai's blessing and gift to the King of Zhou, and hopes for further cooperation in the Zhou Kingdom.' It's just that the signature has not been determined yet. Teacher Zao is still investigating and identifying it."
Lu Yao looked at Yanshi who kept calling out "Soul Xi, come back".
"Why does he keep yelling?"
"Yanshi is not the kind of person with a flexible mind and active consciousness..."
Song Shiyi pursed her lips and considered her words: "If normal people are automated and informational life forms, Yanshi is a semi-automated life form. Someone needs to give him some commands in order for him to further evolve and change."
“Otherwise it would probably be like this now.”
She said: "Actually, Hongzhen took off Yanshi's coat to check him, but he broke down. The coat seemed to be immobile and part of his body."
Lu Yao was also a little confused: "But, isn't Yanshi able to make high-precision things like the Changren? Why is his own so crude?"
“I don’t know that either.”
"Xiao Huang, the prostitute is not a high-precision product."
Ding Hanzhen turned his gaze away from Yanshi and joined the discussion.
"The Changren may look incredible, but if you break it down, it's just one person's consciousness controlling two bodies at the same time. The Yanshi's ability is to create a body and connect his consciousness to it... Of course, this is not easy, but one thing is that this is imitation rather than creation. There is a fundamental difference between the two methods, and the difficulty is incomparable."
"The one with the highest precision is the god who created Yanshi and even the "Qigong Kingdom". Yanshi is obviously a life creation that has been continuously improved and evolved."
Lu Yao suddenly came to his senses.
yes.
Forget about it.
The main god space core that he possesses, the [Tree of Sylvanus], has the ability of the [Tree of Creation].
Theoretically, as long as Lu Yao experiments diligently and collects various fire props to repeatedly explore the path to strengthen life, he can also create a strange life like Yanshi.
"Yanshi is the carrier of this precious information. He is the machine tool made by the creator behind it, and the products manufactured and processed are the people."
This modern-day Kitchen God summed up the essence in one sentence.
The old man showed a trace of regret on his face: "Unfortunately, I still don't know who created Yanshi and Qigong."
Song Shiyi was a little surprised: "Isn't there any record in those bronze inscriptions?"
"No, only the signature of the donor."
Old Ding looked depressed and said casually, "The gift was given by the Holy Mother Wu Dang of Penglai."
"Perhaps you are not familiar with this person. During the time when King Wu conquered King Zhou, Penglai fell into a long period of chaos after being defeated. Later, Holy Mother Wu Dang served as the ruler of Penglai for a period of time. Therefore, this gift from Yanshi was indeed a formal gesture of goodwill and diplomatic means by Penglai to King Mu of Zhou."
The Queen Mother of the West in Kunlun sent Shaoxiejun as a transformed human to visit the King of Zhou. She took him on a tour of the Xiji Palace and then invited the King to Kunlun for a chat.
The Penglai side was unwilling to be outdone, and the Holy Mother Wu Dang also sent Yanshi to offer treasures - the prostitute was just a appearance, and Yanshi himself was the more precious treasure.
When King Mu of Zhou traveled west, there was a secret war between two mythological systems or sects involved. Both wanted to gain recognition and support from the imperial power and become the main mythological subject of the Zhou Kingdom.
It looks like Kunlun won.
Lu Yao then asked Ding Hanzhen, "Teacher Zao, since the myth of Penglai was already very popular during the time when King Wu defeated King Zhou, and it also reached a certain scale during the time of King Mu of Zhou, why did the story of Penglai only begin to be recorded and spread when Qin Shihuang was looking for the elixir of immortality?"
Lao Ding did not answer this question directly, but said: "There is a scholar whom I admire very much, historian He Zhaowu. He believes that the knowledge we gain from the study of history, that is, history, can be spread. But history itself cannot be spread."
“Man is the master of history, and history is created by man. Therefore, all actions of those who create history have ideological motives.”
The old man's eyes flashed with a certain experienced cunningness: "That's what's going on."
Lu Yao understood roughly.
However, Song Shiyi said it very frankly: "I understand. You mean, because the Western Zhou Dynasty finally chose Kunlun, Penglai has been excluded and suppressed. As a result, Penglai lost the foundation of folk worship in the Zhou Dynasty and even for a long time afterwards. Penglai mythology could not completely enter the Zhou Dynasty and was even regarded as an evil god and obscene sacrifice."
"When Qin Shihuang unified the six kingdoms, Penglai was allowed by the king because the elixir of immortality was related to overseas. The myth of Penglai was then passed down through the king's orthodox way."
The Kitchen God could only smile at this apprentice.
At this moment, a strong light overhead began to flicker continuously, and the entire cloud top was rumbling, as if something was cracking, collapsing, or peeling off.
The air was filled with a smoky smell caused by burning, which was becoming stronger and stronger.
Wei Qixiang, who was busy rescuing people nearby, looked over here and said, "Master Du, what is this?"
"It's okay, it will be fine soon."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Holding a candle for offering sacrifices to the Kitchen God, Ding Hanzhen helped Yanshi put on his clothes again, and then pulled down his headscarf to cover the third eye on the top of his head.
After a while, the sky cleared and everything returned to normal.
Yanshi blinked, as if coming to his senses: "Does the emperor have any new orders?"
"No, you continue to be busy."
"OK."
After saying that, Yanshi drove his flying car across the clouds, like a low-profile version of Nezha riding on wind-fire wheels.
Old Ding then said to everyone, "It's okay. Yanshi and Xiji Palace are connected as one, if one is damaged, all will be damaged, so please ensure that he is healthy."
He turned around and looked at Lu Yao: "Xiao Huang, did you find anything down there?"
Lu Yao was prepared: "I asked many local people for advice and learned that the beast that attacked Pang Li was a dead beast... The owner of this place is outside the sky, and it should be a sailor from Kunlun."
After listening, Ding Hanzhen just said: "Let's leave the matter of the dead beast to the Guards."
…
Another day has passed.
Pang Li's body was successfully treated and he was sent back to the capital of the Qin Dynasty, Haojing, for rehabilitation. Pang Li, who was in human form, also returned as soon as possible to cooperate with the treatment.
Ding Hanzhen officially announced that this phase of the Westernmost Country project has come to an end.
He also needs to go back to the committee to make a report.
After Wei Qixiang learned about this, he hurriedly brought people to the scene.
"The Guards are grateful for the help from the Governor and everyone else this time. If it were any later, even if Pang Li's body could recover, he would probably be paralyzed on one side."
"Now it seems that as long as I rest and receive treatment for a period of time, I will be fine."
This lieutenant general of the Guard Division, who was in his prime, spoke sincerely, acted decisively, was calm and steady in the face of difficulties, and took care of his subordinates. Lu Yao admired Wei Qixiang very much.
"To express our gratitude, the Guardian Department has issued you with divine certificates. If you want to come to Qin in the future, you can come through any public channel. Your treatment and status will be the same as those of Qin's registered gods. We will welcome you wholeheartedly. If you have any questions, you can also consult the Guardian Department to resolve them."
In addition to obtaining the registration certificate, the Guard Bureau also gave each person a visiting card from the Qin Dynasty.
There are several name cards inserted inside, including two of them, "Wei Qixiang, the Lieutenant General of the Guard Division" and "Pang Li, the Military Soldier of the Guard Division", and another stack of name cards belonging to each of them.
Lu Yao’s name tag reads “Committee Yellow Armor”.
The visiting card is the Daqin version of the mobile phone. It is shaped like wooden pieces and can be spliced together to use other functions, but it is only effective in Daqin.
Lu Yao looked at the visiting card and certificate of ordination in his hand.
…
[Daqin Visiting Card]: A special item that can be used to contact each other by using [Name Card].
Need to use: Name card ...
[Deity Certificate - Yellow Armor]: A special item, a legitimate god recognized by the Qin Dynasty, possessing the throne of the Qin Dynasty.
…
It will be much more convenient to go to Daqin afterwards.
With a divine ID card and the status of a foreign guest, he no longer had to worry about being locked up in the Huangliang Tower, a mental hospital.
The Guard Bureau showed goodwill, and Ding Hanzhen, as the local head of the committee, also reciprocated.
"Stay for a quick meal tonight. I'll cook some side dishes."
Wei Qixiang and Song Shiyi's eyes suddenly lit up, and even the lazy Wei Yingxue became energetic.
Everyone said yes, yes, yes.
At dinner, Lu Yao finally witnessed the long-rumored cooking skills of the Kitchen God.
Lao Ding also makes home-cooked meals.
Kung Pao Chicken, Spicy Shredded Potatoes, Fried Hairtail, Braised Eggplant, Scrambled Eggs with Leeks.
It was difficult for Lu Yao to describe the subtle feeling he had at that time. He just felt that his appetite had never been so strong and he was completely immersed in eating.
Before they knew it, everyone had finished every plate. No one spoke the entire time, and the only sounds on the table were the sound of chopsticks scraping rice and hitting bowls and plates.
What’s even more outrageous is that each of these dishes actually has additional benefits.
Five dishes directly added a powerful state to Huang Jia that lasted for 1 hour.
…
Health +4400 Mana +2800 Damage +150 Defense +88 Speed +15 ...
Lu Yao looked shocked.
No wonder everyone wants to eat the food cooked by the Kitchen God. It is indeed a double enjoyment for the taste buds and power.
With this skill alone, the Kitchen God will receive top treatment wherever he goes.
It was very wise for Shi Ling to become Lao Ding’s apprentice.
It was not until Wei Qixiang and several soldiers left reluctantly that Lao Ding asked Hongzhen to take out some sausages and give one to each person in the group.
"It's a token of my appreciation." The Kitchen God said with a smile, "These are the ones I have saved. I was planning to use them as gifts, but I don't have much left. They're good for making sausage rice or steamed sausage."
Lu Yao looked at the sausage in his hand.
…
[Kitchen Food·Sausage]: Faith +1/hour. Kitchen food made by the Kitchen God. Damage +300 after all consumed. Duration: 1 hour.
Storage time: 180 days
…
The food on the stove had a simple and crude beauty in its numerical value, which made Lu Yao reluctant to eat it.
For this trip to Xiji Palace, the committee issued a subsidy of 120,000 Fire of Faith to each participant, and specially hired intelligence officers like Lu Yao also received equal pay for equal work.
In addition, the entire project team will be on a business trip for a total of 12 days. The committee will issue a business trip allowance of 320 yuan per day for accommodation and 120 yuan per day for food, totaling 5,280 yuan.
The money will arrive next Monday.
As this phase of the Western Kingdom project came to an end, Lu Yao also returned with the [Meeting the King Talisman].
…
Opening his eyes again, Lu Yao stretched.
The journey of more than ten days in the virtual universe only lasted half an hour in the real universe, but people could still feel tired mentally.
Lu Yao yawned and decided to ignore everything and take a nap.
The secret to a good night's sleep is to avoid looking at computer screens and mobile phones.
