"This is not the real past, should it be okay?" Ge Tingting asked nervously.
Everything that was supposed to end suddenly had no end in sight. Under the bustling scene of Huajisi, she could almost hear the sound of fear surging secretly. Discovering that this "world" was still running, the big man Fu Xingchuan became much silent, and Ge Tingting had a bad premonition.
"I have no idea."
Fu Xingchuan decisively admitted.
"But we must ensure that things develop on the right track. No one can tell whether this 'memory world' will affect Yin Ren and Ji Sha again."
"Well... Uncle Er is right, we'd better not take risks." Fu Tianyi agreed sadly.
He never wanted to go on a mission with the Nine Groups of the Haigu Branch again. Having to act against these unfortunate things twice in a row made him feel twenty years older in his heart. I didn’t see much of the Great Heavenly Master Zhong Yi, but the bad luck kept coming one after another.
"Haha." Huang Jin sneered.
As an important coolie in this mission, he was too lazy to be polite at the moment: "How can we not take risks? Now that the Great Heavenly Master and the Fierce Evil are buried in the soil, no one knows what will happen next. What can we do to 'stay on the right track'? "
Although he was born as a wild spiritual craftsman, Huang Jin still has a certain understanding of the history of metaphysics.
Fu Xingchuan was the first to break the silence.
"We have some stories from the past in our family." Fu Tianyi said quickly, "Fu Shangliu has a gentle temperament, average strength, and is fair. He is a very traditional member of the Fu family."
The last emperor of the Gong Dynasty did not trust Huajisi, and the capital was again tortured by the Yi Luo army. It is said that a considerable part of Huajisi's information was lost, and a considerable number of precious books were kidnapped by the Yi Luo people. The practitioners and scholars at that time risked their lives to retain the core records. Later, Huajisi followed the new emperor and established another headquarters in the new capital, and then another wave of prosperity began.
"Is there no specific record of the incident?" Lu Xiaohe pressed his temples with a headache.
Fu Xingchuan looked at the tips of his paws irritably. This was a particularly suitable time to contact Professor Li for help, but unfortunately they were completely disconnected from the outside world.
There are unknown shadows in the ground that are obviously stronger than the evil ones, the Great Heavenly Master who is not dead, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers who died in vain. Opening up such a hodgepodge, the emperor obviously felt that the country's demise was not happy enough.
Fu Tianyi shook his head: "No... Fu Shangliu is the grandfather of our ancestors, and our ancestors don't even know what happened back then."
"Li Heyan is his good friend, a famous talented woman in the late Gong Dynasty. She has made great achievements in science and literature, but has a harsh temper and is a bit arrogant."
The atmosphere in Huajisi was also a bit strange. It was lively and lively, and people's faces had varying shades of worry. From time to time, people stop in front of the statue of the Great Celestial Master Zhong Yi, stare at it for a while, and sigh quietly.
They didn't know that Zhong Yi had already fallen deep into the cliff.
If the treatment is not in line with the two people's personalities, it is hard to say whether the people of Huajisi will buy it or not. What's more, they don't know the Huajisi regulations of this era, and mistakes will be made if they are not careful.
Lu Xiaohe walked around the huge Huaji Department, reading over and over the letters received by Li Heyan.
Huajisi was founded by Fu Liu, a disciple of Zhong Yi, and the first batch of core members were all abandoned children that Zhong Yi had picked up. For so many years, Zhong Yi has been dealing with evil things and brought him the latest knowledge about evil things. The relationship between him and Hua Jisi is very delicate. If you have to say it, the four words "both teacher and friend" are most suitable.
What happened to Huajisi back then has left a large gap in history. Even the biographies of the two leaders Fu Shangliu and Li Heyan are not exhaustive.
The two leaders of Huajisi only received intelligence, not even an imperial edict. This time the emperor made it clear that he wanted to evade Huajisi, but if the royal cultivators were to pry open the seal, who knows what would be released—
At the end of the Gong Dynasty, the Yiluo army invaded and attacked all the way to the capital. After more than ten years of troubled times, a godly general with a grassroots background appeared. That man eventually wore a yellow robe and established a new dynasty.
The connection between the Great Heavenly Master and the mortal world is nothing more than the annual night patrol of Yin Village and the correspondence with Hua Jisi.
But they knew that "Great Heavenly Master Zhong Yi defeated an army of 150,000 militia men" and more or less guessed what the emperor planned to do.
The offering plate in front of the statue of Zhong Yi was much fuller than when Lu Xiaohe first arrived. There were a lot of candied candies in it, and it looked like they were added by the members here.
"Since Fu Shangliu is a member of the traditional Fu family, he must respect the Great Heavenly Master Zhong Yiwang. If something like this happens, he will definitely not sit idly by and ignore it."
Thinking about it this way, the emperor really had reason to suspect that Huajisi "failed to report what he knew, and his heart was to be punished." Lu Xiaohe glanced at the worried-looking members of Huajisi and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Li Heyan... Li Nian is a bit like her. A bitch like her, a science professor, can't tolerate fools. She will definitely not tolerate the emperor seeking death. She will also take action. The problem is that the emperor has long been unhappy with Hua Jisi, and his attack posture is wrong. Tianyi and Xiaolu might lose their heads, so please be careful."
Anyway, Li Nian couldn't hear him, so the former minister Fu muttered bad things about his former partner.
Lu Xiaohe stopped pacing, and her eyes lit up.
"Have someone collect all the information related to Skeleton Valley in the library!" She ordered as Li Heyan.
Fu Xingchuan nodded approvingly, while Fu Tianyi was still in a daze: "What...?"
"Don't miss any of the maps and records. Don't miss any of them, including the spiritual weapons for sending letters to the Great Heavenly Master. Pile them all in the yard."
"Lu Xiaohe..."
"I am the rear commander." Lu Xiaohe raised the corner of his mouth, "The rear commander must always keep the overall situation in mind, remember?"
Fu Tianyi looked at the people coming and going in confusion - soon, the books, maps, and machine birds in the yard piled up into a small hill, like a medium-sized tomb.
"very good."
Lu Xiaohe said.
"Then sort out the in-depth records, action tracks, letters and other things related to the Great Celestial Master Zhong Yi and put them in the lobby. Remember, it is only about him personally, and the knowledge he provides must be protected."
"Finally, forge a few recent communications to say that the Great Heavenly Master is walking in the southern swamp."
Fu Tianyi's eyes gradually changed when he looked at Lu Xiaohe: "Can't you..."
Everyone looked at "Fu Shangliu" hesitantly, and seeing that he did not dissuade him, naturally no one questioned "Li Heyan". There are so many materials related to the Great Celestial Master that they almost fill one-third of the hall of Huajisi. The statue of the Great Celestial Master Zhong Yi was half submerged in the materials, and the offering plate on the offering table was also crooked.
Lu Xiaohe casually took down a floating oil lamp. She rolled up her sleeves and poured the lamp oil on the precious information herself.
Everyone in Huajisi let out a small exclamation.
"What... what are you doing! This is so disrespectful!" One of the old scholars finally couldn't help it, and shouted with a red face.
Lu Xiaohe rolled up his long sleeves and held a burning orange butter lamp in one hand. It was dusk at this moment, and the firelight and sunset glow blended into an orange-red color.
"He is not a god."
Next to Lu Xiaohe was the strange statue covered by red gauze.
Now when she talks about Yin Ren, she still only thinks of that man stepping to work, sprinting to get off work, and the glorious figure hanging in the cafeteria. Compared to the thousands of evil things walking at night in the mountain village and killing hundreds of thousands of enemy troops, she still prefers the look of that guy lying down working on excel.
That was the Yin Ren she knew. Lu Xiaohe had never seen that person take the initiative to seek any "past glory" or "famous reputation". Even when he went to Fu's house, when Yin Ren saw the Great Heavenly Master's sacrificial formation, the embarrassment on his face was greater than the joy. Lu Xiaohe could almost hear the sound of that guy's toes digging into the ground.
Also, that guy would even fall in love with Zhong Cheng, a well-established scientist, and he would fall in love seriously.
The Great Celestial Master Zhong Yi was proclaimed a descendant of the Zhong family of the evil-dispelling family by the emperor in the human world, and was regarded as the Great Celestial Master by the cultivators in the human world. But in the end, he said his surname should be Yin.
In the end, he just wanted to avenge his friends.
Yin Ren may be very strong, or he may have turned into some evil thing that Shi'an cannot resist, but he is also an ordinary person she knows.
That's definitely not a "god".
"He is not a god. You must know this after reading these letters... His handwriting is quite ugly, isn't it?"
Lu Xiaohe glanced at him and realized that the words "Fu Shangliu" were inappropriate, but it was exactly what a scientific researcher should say.
"Now the emperor wants to use him as a weapon - you know, he can't do it, and he will never like it. You are all smart people, and you can definitely guess the consequences of his refusal."
"We will preserve the knowledge he left behind. But he... As an expert, he may be of great research value, but as a friend and a teacher, I think he deserves peace."
"Now, I want to light the fire."
Lu Xiaohe placed the oil lamp on those letters and records.
"If you want to dissuade me or report it to the emperor, this is your last chance."
The members of Huajisi were in commotion for a long time and finally fell silent. A few looked at the pile of materials reluctantly, but finally turned their eyes to the statue.
Lu Xiaohe let go of his hand.
The burning oil lamp fell.
The flame of the spiritual oil lamp was more fierce than ordinary flames, and the bright red flames instantly engulfed the information. A fiery snake crawled into the yard along the lamp oil and quickly ignited all the information related to the Skeleton Valley in the yard.
Everyone in Huajisi carried the precious spiritual weapons, commanded the specially made corpses, and ran out of the hall in an orderly manner. Only thick smoke was left in the room, and the flying sparks illuminated the outline of the statue. Pieces of ashes were like falling snow, flying on the flames.
On the fragments of the letter, you can still see twisted and clumsy handwriting, and every sentence of plain language was quickly devoured by the sparks.
[The weather is very good near Yuanzhou today. I caught a particularly big Resentment Basket and discovered a new weakness of it... ]
[Can you be a strong machine bird and send me some corn cakes? I can use the ghost appeasement prescription in exchange...]
[Last time, I said Zhang Wen’s nephew was born. Congratulations. Do you have any wedding candy? Enclosed with the letter is a method of drawing a peace talisman...]
They all turned into fine ash in the end.
Lu Xiaohe showed a very "Lu Xiaohe" gentle smile and clapped his hands.
Li Heyan's bun was messy, with a few strands of black hair hanging down her shoulders. The orange-red firelight illuminated her eyes and shot straight to the sky.
Fu Xingchuan walked to her and squatted down, looking at the flying flames as well.
Fu Tianyi was stunned: "How cruel..."
But it is indeed a solution.
The Valley of Skeletons is remote and difficult to find, and the 150,000-strong army was destroyed. Eighty percent of it was due to the Great Heavenly Master's spells being too eye-catching and the nearby warlocks' divination and detection. However, the spell's influence is very wide, and it is not that easy to find the location of the Great Heavenly Master.
The emperor did not allow Huajisi to go, but the emperor's practitioners would definitely use Huajisi's information if they wanted to find the Great Celestial Master.
Those letters to and from the Great Heavenly Master, those messages sent by the Great Heavenly Master from various places, those records of the Great Heavenly Master's journey... everything about the Great Heavenly Master.
"No wonder everyone says there is little information about the Great Heavenly Master." Ge Tingting murmured amid the increasingly bright fire. "It might have been true back then..."
"Whether you are a practitioner or a scholar, we are all mortal."
Lu Xiaohe responded softly.
"Knowledge is indeed important, but sometimes 'protecting a friend' is more important. Since you are a mortal, you should always do something stupid."
Thousands of years ago, the real Fu Shangliu and Li Heyan probably chose a similar path.
She took two steps forward and ignited the forged "whereabouts" letters on the flames. Facing the person coming from the palace, she turned around confidently—
"There is a fire in Huajisi. The fire started because of the spiritual weapon. It is difficult for mortals to extinguish it. I will find a way myself. Well, you want the whereabouts of the Great Heavenly Master? I just happened to grab a few letters. You can take them."
"If you want to hate it, just hate that there is no cloud save in this era... Ah, it's nothing, I didn't say anything."
In the wilderness not far away, a figure was walking unsteadily.
The man was wearing a "Leader's Worst Confidant" shirt and had his hair tied up. He was Yin Ren in modern attire.
"This is quite perverted, don't you think?" Yin Ren said to himself.
"I don't think so." Then he changed his tone slightly and answered by himself, "That body is inconvenient for movement. Even if it can move, it will make Shi'an suspicious."
"You are already extremely suspicious." Yin Ren's tone became lively again, "Zhong Cheng said that I slept with you, but this..."
This feeling of sharing a body is simply too strange.
After dealing with the hundreds of thousands of militia troops, Yin Ren's consciousness quickly penetrated into the nearby body. Who would have thought that Zhong Cheng said he didn’t want to move
The good news is that Yin Ren, with his experience after thousands of years, suppressed the evil power perfectly. He no longer needs to wrap himself in a cocoon and just transform into a suit of clothes.
The bad news is that now he and his boyfriend are literally living together at close range, causing his limbs to be uncoordinated.
Fortunately, he threw the dog thing into the yellow beam at that time. It’s great that no one in this world will have to suffer like this again. Yin Ren thought deeply and fell on the ground again.
Once he gets used to his body, he can use the levitation spell.
He must tell Shi'an the "truth" conjecture about the memory world as soon as possible.
