Taiyuan Wang clan land, located in the northeast of Confucius Temple, a central open space between the two rivers, covers an area of about 80,000 square meters. There are many high-rise buildings inside, but few people can see how the specific arrangement is, after all, not everyone can come to visit the head of the five surnames.

However, recently, probably because of the rebels, the flow of people in the vicinity of the clan land has decreased again, so that not a single car can be seen passing by for half a day.

Cheng Jinyang sat in the teahouse next to him, and he was alone in the entire hall on the second floor. The boss sent a good tea, called "General Red Robe", but I don't know if it is black tea or oolong tea, the color is as mellow as amber, and the buds rise and fall like Qiluo rolling.

"Wait a minute, it doesn't seem that I ordered this ......" Cheng Jinyang just spoke, and the boss said, "This tea is for delivery." ”

"Sent?"

"Yes. This tea has to be purchased from other places, which is very expensive and has a short shelf life, which will affect the taste. The boss explained with a smile, "But lately, the regulars in the clan land have stopped coming. We can't drink it ourselves, and it's too wasteful to pour it out, so it just so happens that you came here, and it's fate, so I'll send you a tasting. ”

Since the boss said so, Cheng Jinyang took a sip.

In addition to the refreshing taste of tea, it has an extra sweet taste.

"Good tea." He smiled embarrassedly, "I'm not an expert in this area, so I can only say that the taste is really good." ”

"That's good." The boss took the tray and went down, "If you need to refill the cup, you can tell me again, you can refill it twice, and if you want more, you need to make it new, but it will be your money according to ordinary tea." ”

"Thank you, boss."

Cheng Jinyang drank tea slowly and methodically, looking at the streets and houses outside, and even had the illusion that he was a "Yake" for a while.

After a long time, I saw Wang Wanrou holding a book and walking slowly from the clan land.

When she came to the bottom of the teahouse, Miss Wang suddenly raised her head, and her eyes just met the condescending Cheng Jinyang.

Cheng Jinyang raised the teacup and bowed humbly.

Wang Wanrou retracted her gaze, entered the store expressionlessly, went upstairs, and sat down opposite Cheng Jinyang.

"General's red robe?" She raised her eyebrows, "You actually drink tea?" ”

"Hey, why can't I order this?" Cheng Jinyang smiled and asked, "You think I can't drink tea?" ”

"Will you?" Wang Wanrou asked sarcastically, looked at the empty surroundings, and sneered, "The boss sent it, right?" ”

"You look down on me?" Cheng Jinyang slapped the table and pretended to be angry.

"Yes." Wang Wanrou took his teacup and took a sip, "Tsk, it's cold." You also said you would drink tea? ”

"It's not cold, huh?" Cheng Jinyang was inexplicable.

"This tea doesn't taste when it's hot, and it feels cold and astringent, so it's best to drink it within three minutes after putting it into the cup." Wang Wanrou said calmly, "You're cold, can't drink the faint astringency?" ”

Cheng Jinyang: ..................

"If you want to say that, it's a little astringent." He sighed.

"Did you have fun last night?" Wang Wanrou asked.

"What is there to be happy about in daily cultivation?" Cheng Jinyang shook his head, "Why did you call me this time?" ”

"I told you, I'll give you a brain check." Wang Wanrou stared straight at him.

Cheng Jinyang suddenly felt a little strange, the other party's pupils were like a whirlpool, as if they had the magic power to suck people's eyes in, he was stunned for a moment, and suddenly came back to his senses, and saw that Wang Wanrou had already drunk the tea in one gulp and stood up.

"Alright." She said lightly, "I probably have a number in my heart." ”

"How?" Cheng Jinyang got up to see her off.

"Connect." Wang Wanrou said succinctly, "Enhanced connection. To you...... No, that's good news for us. ”

"Can we stop playing the Riddler?" Cheng Jinyang went downstairs to pay the boss and sent Wang Wanrou out, "My body and spirit, I must at least have the right to know, right?" ”

"Okay, I'll try to speak in a language you can understand." Wang Wanrou walked out of the teahouse, "Did you know that bacteria exchange genetic material?" ”

"Huh?"

"The so-called supernatural bloodline is not some kind of physical genetic material, but something closer to a spiritual meme." Wang Wanrou walked along the street, "That's why the Ability Bloodline can't be replicated. ”

"If the key to the bloodline of the ability was a certain substance, then it would have been extracted with current science and technology. It is a pity that it is not a tangible substance, but is closer to some kind of spiritual pollution that is transmitted from parent to offspring. ”

"How is this contamination passed on to future generations? I don't know. But everyone's spirit can only be polluted once, which means you can only inherit it once from your ancestors. When did the succession take place and in what form? I don't know. However, it can be confirmed that it was before the formation of early embryos, and the mechanism is unknown, so it can be approximated as pseudo-random. In other words, when the fetus is not yet conscious, the limit of what he can reach in his life as a supernatural person has already been decided. ”

"Is there a way to break this random inheritance? In the past, I would have said no, but now it seems that not necessarily. It's like the first thought that bacteria rely on division to complete the replication of genetic material, and later it was discovered that there is also an exchange of genetic material between different species......"

Wang Wanrou suddenly stopped and asked, "Do you understand?" ”

"You mean I inherited my abilities from my dad, but there are other ways I can get them from others?" Cheng Jinyang asked tentatively.

"Well, if it's an exam, just guessing the answer doesn't count as a score." Wang Wanrou said calmly, "But you're right. ”

"For example, your dream is like a petri dish, and everyone is like different strains in different environments, which have been put into the petri dish of dreams to grow because of some unknown mechanism."

So, what's the point of this petri dish? If we assume that it does not come naturally, then the meaning of its creation must have something to do with the fact that our consciousness coexists in dreams. What do you do with different bacteria in the same petri dish? From the causal cause, assuming that some kind of hybrid bacteria eventually appeared, then we can reason and guess that the purpose of this petri dish is to allow hybridization between different strains. ”

"You mean let us crossbreed?" As soon as Cheng Jinyang finished speaking, he felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly coughed to hide his embarrassment.

"I mean, let's hybridize our ability bloodline!" Wang Wanrou said coldly, "If the increase in the concentration of blood veins is regarded as the self-reproduction of the fungus, then the 'fungus' refers to our bloodline, not ourselves!" ”

"Think about that big demon who calls himself 'Su Lili'! She unleashed a flame attack in her dream, the same 'oxidative burning' bloodline that Su Lili had inherited from the Mikawa Zhu clan. This supports the previous suspicion that demons can use the abilities they devour individuals. ”

"Or, to take it a step further, the dream itself is something that the demon race uses to evolve itself."

"For example, the devouring of demons does not kill the consciousness of the opponent, but imprisons the consciousness of the opponent in the body. Then the demon itself acts as a server, bringing all the consciousness imprisoned in the body into the dream, just as you brought us into the dream. ”

"Then in the dream world, the consciousness of the demon and the imprisoned consciousness fight each other, and the killed can be resurrected indefinitely, but the ability bloodline will be plundered in small amounts. In this way, the consciousness that survives in the end can leave the dream and go out to dominate the demon's body, and can use the bloodline ability of the other defeated consciousness. ”

"This sounds like raising Gu." Cheng Jinyang said speechlessly.

"Well, this way is called 'plunder'. If I'm guessing correctly, there should be another way to 'connect'. Wang Wanrou said, "Next time we enter the dream realm, we can do an experiment first, and let me kill you a few times." ”

"Why did you kill me?" Cheng Jinyang was shocked.

"With such a peerless beauty as me, how can you be willing to do it?" Wang Wanrou looked at him with disdain.
