Chapter 41: The Story of Gen Zhenzi
As soon as he swallowed the mouse, the body of the giant python was suddenly completely different from the original, a flash of golden light, and a burst of fire flashed between the scales of the lava python, and there seemed to be lava flowing in the body of the lava python, and its eyes changed from the original black to golden color.
The golden eagle lost its target for a while, and at this time rushed over to the giant python, and the two grabbed the eyes of the giant python, but saw that the giant python had a big mouth, and a mouthful of lava with fire sprayed against the golden eagle, if it was just lava, as mentioned earlier, this space has a blessing effect on fire things, but the fire is better than ever, and a fire directly covered the golden eagle.
The golden eagle screamed, and the thorn turned his head to look, not caring about being entangled with Xiao Buli, and rushed towards the golden eagle with a false sword. Thorn thorn originally had a special feeling for pets, and this golden eagle king is not easy for him to catch, how can it be so easy to let it die, at this time to see the golden eagle was injured, immediately rushed to the rescue, but the golden eagle was covered in fire, thorn and no water spell can extinguish the fire, for a while anxious to stand on the ground, watching the golden eagle with the fire fall to the ground, keep twisting the body.
The lava python hit the golden eagle hard at this moment, and it could be calculated that he felt sick in his heart, and his whole body was empowered, and his tongue like flames kept pouring out. It seems to be showing off his exploits.
The thorn saw that there was no way to save the golden eagle for a while, and he raised his sword angrily to kill the giant python.
Behind him, Xiao Buli suddenly had an idea: "Quickly retract the sealing space." ”
The thorn was stunned for a moment, and suddenly reacted. The sealing space has a healing function, although the golden eagle is covered by firelight but not dead, at this time there is still a glimmer of hope to take it back, he didn't expect this for a while, and hurriedly turned his mind and took the golden eagle back.
The golden eagle received the lava jet from the lava python, its body was on fire, and the thorn was reminded by Xiao Buli to withdraw the golden eagle back to the sealing space in time, so as to avoid losing its beloved pet.
Two people and a python stood on the ground. For a while, no one had the intention of fighting. Thorn has an honest personality, and he was just rescued by Xiao Buli from the golden eagle, and he was embarrassed to fight with Xiao Buli immediately for a while, so he looked back at the lava python. Immediately excited.
"Senior brother. You python was caught in the fairy world? How can you still spit fire? "Thorn's knowledge of pets is extensive. In fact, this sentence is just to change the topic.
Xiao Buli immediately got off the donkey as soon as he saw it, "Yes, I'm also strange." It stands to reason that it would not have the ability to breathe fire when it left the lava cavern. Xiao Buli looked left and right, but there was no trace of the stone-toothed rat, "It seems to have eaten the stone-toothed rat." ”
"Stonetooth rats?" Thorn pondered for a moment, and suddenly realized: "I know, the reason why lava pythons are called lava pythons is because their fire skills are based on lava or fire, and the stone tooth rat feeds on the fire spirit stone, thinking that this giant python eats the stone tooth rat, and the body is replenished with fire elements, so it can recover the skill of spitting fire in a short time." When Thorn heard this, he immediately gave the most likely answer.
"Maybe." Xiao Buli didn't care about this issue the most at this time, "Second Senior Brother, let's not fight?" ”
Jing Thorn looked back at Xiao Buli, but suddenly changed the subject, "Can you tell me what happened to Master?" What do you mean by saying that he has groomed us as instruments for his dispossession? ”
Xiao Buli looked at Jing Thorn and was willing to listen to him tell the reason. Naturally happy, it is better not to fight against Thorn, Xiao Buli accepted the giant python, and the two sat cross-legged in this space, Xiao Buli brought the causes and consequences of this Xuanxuzi together, and Thorn nodded frequently while listening.
"Ugh." After listening to Xiao Buli's narration, Jing Thorn sighed deeply, "I didn't expect this thing to have such a antecedent, but that Xuan Xuozi and I are masters and apprentices after all, since we are deep in the Liangyi Array, it is in vain for me to be anxious, it depends on his luck." ”
The two of them chatted about pets in the formation for the next time, Xiao Buli told Jing Thorn about what he had seen and heard about going to the fairy world this time, and the thorn who listened to it frequently admired, but he didn't expect Xiao Buli to have so many opportunities in this day, and when the two were talking, suddenly one day the white light dissipated, and the Xuanxu Palace appeared in front of the two again.
I saw Xuan Zhenzi dressed in a soap-colored green shirt, standing in front of everyone, his face had returned to normal, and it seemed that he had defeated Xuan Xuozi's heart and soul, and the breeze and bright moon were standing beside Xuan Zhenzi, and when he saw the four people reappearing in front of him, he arched his hand and said: "The matter is from the rights and interests, and I hope you Haihan." "It's supposed to be about the four of you trapped in the formation just now.
That Ji Xiangyun had stopped talking about the senior brother in the formation before, although she still couldn't accept the bizarre thing that the master was a demon, but after what happened before, as well as the attitude of Qingfeng Mingyue and the senior brother, she also knew that this matter couldn't be wrong, and she was not stupid, since the master had already listed herself in the list of snatching away, would she still do anything exciting because of such a person, so after the four of them came out, they saw each other unharmed, and they were not too surprised in their hearts.
"What now?" Ji Xiangyun has always been outspoken, and when he saw everyone standing awkwardly on the spot, he immediately opened his mouth to break the silence. "Mr. Xuan Zhenzi, do you want to stay in Xuanxu Palace in the future?"
"Hehe, this Taoist has finally regained his free body, so naturally he will take advantage of his lifetime to take a look around and live the life of idle clouds and wild cranes." Xuan Zhenzi said with a smile, his appearance was still the same delicate and handsome as thirty years ago, and his smile was particularly pleasing to the eye.
"That Xuanxu Palace will ...... future" Jing Thorn originally wanted to say that Xuanxu Palace would welcome you back at any time in the future, but suddenly thought that Xuanxuzi died at the hands of Xuanzhen Gong, and it is not certain who will be in charge of Xuanxu Palace in the future, and it seems that he is a little out of bounds when he says this, so the second half of the sentence is swallowed back, but in the ears of everyone, he thinks that he is worried about the future of Xuanxu Palace.
Qingfeng Mingyue interjected: "When Master Xuantian Dao passed away, I once ordered Senior Brother Gu Yuexuan to take over the Xuantian Palace, but later when Master came back from the dead, we all thought that Master had not yet arrived, and later that Xuanxuan changed his name and surname. Xuantian Palace was also renamed Xuanxu Palace, but generally speaking, it is still the foundation of Xuantian Palace, so I proposed that the senior brother inherit the mantle, and also fulfilled the master's wish at that time. ”
Ji Xiangyun and Jing Thorn were not ambitious people in the first place, and Qingfeng Mingyue's proposal was more reasonable, so there were no objections, and the matter was settled.
"And who will redeem my reward for me?" Xiao Buli saw that everyone had discussed the matter, and hurriedly asked. The crowd burst into laughter.
Gu Yuexuan waved his hand, and Xiao Buli heard the system prompt: Complete the task of "setting things right" and get a contribution point reward of 2,000 points. The prestige of the Xuanxu Palace rose to respect.
Complete the Cannibalism quest. Earn a 500 point reward for the mission.
Complete the punishment of the mission demon to get a random reward item from Gen Zhenzi.
A bunch of rewards fell, and Xiao Bulile's mouth was closed, "Then if I want to learn skills in the future, I'll find a senior brother?" ”
"Haha. If you look for a few of us, they will teach you. Rest assured. Four junior brothers. Thorn hurriedly said for everyone.
"Hey, hey, that's good."
"Xiao Buli, you come with me about what happened at the base thirty years ago. I have something to tell you. Xuan Zhenzi said to Xiao Buli, the opportunity to communicate privately with Xuan Zhenzi has always been what Xiao Buli is looking forward to the most, he has too many question marks to get answers from Xuan Zhenzi, and when he heard that Xuan Zhenzi took the initiative to find him, he immediately nodded in agreement.
Everyone saw that the matter was over, and they dispersed, and Gu Yuexuan replaced Xuan Xuzi and returned to the main hall to take charge.
Xiao Buli followed Xuan Zhenzi to a secluded place, the two sat cross-legged, they had consumed a lot of true yuan just now, and Xiao Buli just took this opportunity to replenish it.
Xuan Zhenzi looked at Xiao Buli in front of him with a smile, and said, "What do you want to ask?" "A tone that I already knew.
"There's too much I want to ask." Xiao Buli immediately said impatiently: "How did you get rid of the demons in your heart?" Is it really the method of avatar avatar? How did you get into the game? What I'm seeing now are you a projection of you in the game, or are you actually in the game? And you were in the base at the beginning, ......" Before Xiao Buli's words were finished, Xuan Zhenzi suddenly stretched out his hand and interrupted his words.
"Let me start with you from the beginning, after listening to this story, your problems will be solved." Xuan Zhenzi took a deep breath, and looked into the distance with his eyes over the top of Xiao Buli's head: "I was born in a Taoist temple since I was a child, and I was raised by Taoist priests, so I naturally became a Taoist priest, probably when I was twenty-four years old, the Cultural Revolution broke out, you should be no stranger to that period of history, right?" In that era when everyone was in danger, disasters flew and came and went, but you couldn't hide from them. I didn't even know what I was charged with and was sent to a remote farm in the northwest to work in reform, and I faced high-intensity labor every day that made people want to die, and I was beaten at every turn. There was about a year there, and suddenly one day a group of soldiers came to the farm, headed by a general, surnamed Huo, he gathered all the people on the farm, and made a long speech to us, saying that now there is an opportunity to serve the country, which can let us leave the farm and adopt the principle of voluntariness, most people are more afraid, everyone whispers and suspects that it may be a high-risk industry such as bacteriological testing, but there are also those who are not afraid of death, and some people feel that since they stay on the farm, they will be tortured to death sooner or later, It's better to have a good time, about 20 people volunteered to participate, but the number of people seems to be not enough, the next day General Huo talked to me, because he heard that I was a Taoist priest before, so he asked me if I would like to leave with him, and assured me that it must not be the kind of bacterial test that everyone said, in order to show sincerity, I ate the first meal of white flour steamed buns in a year that day, probably attracted by those steamed buns. A self-deprecating smile appeared on Xuan Zhenzi's face: "I signed the consent form and pressed my fingerprint, and later I knew that there were many people like me who were found by General Huo to talk and mobilize, some were blacksmiths before, and some were leather craftsmen, but I didn't know what the meaning of this matter was at the time." We sat in a big truck, walked for more than ten days, and the body of the person sitting in the car was about to be broken, and finally came to a base in the desert, you must be no stranger, right? I think you're stuck in it right now. Xuan Zhenzi said here, looking at Xiao Buli with burning eyes.
Xiao Buli was shocked when he heard this, although Xuan Zhenzi was a legendary existence for him, but until his position in reality, this: "How do you know?" Xiao Buli asked with a serious expression.
"Huh. I'll tell you about it. Xuan Zhenzi suddenly sold Guanzi, of course, Xiao Buli had this patience, so he didn't say anything, but continued to listen, "When we arrived at the base, we were assigned to a single room in the base, although the conditions were stronger than the farm, but it was limited, and we were forced to do some training every day in the next time, and sometimes we were forced to ask to go to the field to train like special forces." Sometimes they are strapped to a device and rotated. Knowing that your stomach was about to vomit, we were tossed and beaten during that time, but fortunately we were able to eat at that time, and they never spared food. At least compared to being on the farm, we had a happy time to look forward to. This situation has been going on for about half a month. Some of us were selected by them to participate in the experiment, and of course I was one of them.
That's right, the instrument you're using now. We were tied to the bed, put on the helmet, and entered the game, but at that time we didn't know what it was, every time we entered, we were led by a soldier's head, in which we were the same as in reality, we could jump, we could laugh, we could work, we appeared in a village at the beginning, everyone accepted some tasks in the village according to their own areas of expertise, I was born as a Taoist priest, every time I entered the game, I would become a Taoist priest, and then I met a Taoist priest in the village, Because I helped him, he took me as an apprentice, and from then on, I gained a new understanding of the game. ”
"I don't understand, if General Huo is willing, why don't you let the soldier enter the game, after all, he is more sacrificial than you, right?" Xiao Buli asked.
"I think this has something to do with our profession in reality, our attributes in the game are assigned according to the situation in reality, especially some initial skills, or the development of future careers, are actually affected by these factors, although General Huo will change someone to lead after a while, or it can be said to supervise us, but without exception, these people all belong to warriors, militia and the like, that is to say, their advanced routes after entering are too consistent, so General Huo plans to look for people with other skills. Anyway, I was the first one among them to get the ability in the game, and the Taoist priest gave me the Fireball Technique, which I also discovered by accident, and Lei Zhengang, who was only in the same room with me at the time, was the first to discover the secret, he used to be a horse bandit, although he was usually rude, but he was bold and careful, he thought that we should be able to escape from the base after getting enough ability, although he did that later. Speaking of this, Xuan Zhenzi sighed deeply again, Xiao Buli was very understandable.
"And then?" Seeing that Xuan Zhenzi stopped talking, Xiao Buli hurriedly reminded.
"Later, many of us found out about the problem of the game, because more and more skills were used in reality, but General Huo didn't seem to stop experimenting because of this, his purpose was this, he seemed to want to train a group of elite troops in the future through this game, and we were the guinea pigs he experimented with. If it weren't for the later things, he might have succeeded, and it was me who had the first problem, probably because I was the most capable among them, and I was one of the few people in the legal system to develop a career, so I was also the first to hear the voice of the demons, at that time we couldn't be sure whether we were crazy and had auditory hallucinations, or if there was really a voice in our heads talking, and some of them reported the situation, but I didn't see him soon after, everyone was a little scared, trying to control themselves from going crazy at the same time, I didn't dare to tell General Huo our true situation, in the end the matter broke out, several people lost control, I watched those soldiers shoot them in front of us, of course, the situation at that time would be more serious if we didn't shoot, but this still made us very frightened, we are just test subjects they can kill at any time, that's all.
We all planned an escape plan with the only free time to talk, such as eating, winding, and sleeping, and we made full use of our expertise to specify a set of plans that we thought were perfect, but unfortunately, the day before we planned to escape, Lei Zhen just escaped before us, and he practiced assassin skills in the game, and he was best at hiding his body. Probably because he didn't have faith in our plan, he ran away that night without even noticing. From that day on, General Huo's surveillance of us was intensified, and they built a new room on the basement floor, which was our execution room. They put us in the execution chamber before we went crazy, and then they watched our reactions through bulletproof glass, and assessed the extent of our harm, and then they called it Soul Disorder, and we left one by one, and I felt like my spirit was on the verge of collapse, but I was struggling to survive, and the days here were more unbearable than the days on the farm, but with these abilities we always thought there was always a glimmer of hope. Maybe one day we'll be able to fight those bullets. That's how we comfort each other. ”
"But you ended up rioting." Xiao Buli said that this is not just speculation. Judging by the archives he had seen at the beginning. Eventually, the subjects rioted.
"No, we didn't, it was General Huo who rioted." Xuan Zhenzi's voice was not loud, but it exploded in Xiao Buli's mind like a thunderbolt.
"General Huo? How can it be? He is the initiator of this project. And he has no reason. Xiao Buli said eagerly.
"At first, it wasn't. From above, the experiment was blocked. Once wanted to stop the experiment, General Huo couldn't find a solution to the soul disorder, and finally decided to enter the game himself. A few of us who didn't have a seizure of the old man was responsible for taking General Huo to grow faster in the game, during that time we had to hand in the better equipment to the better, and became a veritable coolie, we knew that this is not the way, originally we were counting on improving our strength in the game, and one day we would be able to escape, but after General Huo entered the game, he seemed to be a queen ant, we worker ants did the most work, but the final results were handed over to him, when will we have the day, we can't see hope, we can't see tomorrow, In the end, we made a decision that seems extremely terrible today. Even after so many years, Xiao Buli could see that Xuan Zhenzi's emotions fluctuated violently when telling this paragraph, although he tried his best to control his trembling voice.
"You've decided to stay in the game?" Xiao Buli whispered the most reasonable guess, so that everything made sense.
"That's right," Gen Mako said, "I asked Master and knew that I could shape the body in the game, and we could kill our respective characters and go to the body, but then we would have to use all our abilities, and the body needed merit to be rebuilt, and not all of us had enough merit at that time." Later, a man named Bi Huaxuan came up with a more risky way, he was a university professor before he was imprisoned, and he was said to belong to the scientist level, and he speculated that our projection in the game was actually the physical body created by the game for us, because after wearing the helmet, the spiritual power entered the game through the helmet, which can be imagined as the spirit detached from the body, and what is our physical body in the game? We can feel pain, we can have hearing and vision, and the only explanation is that we actually have a physical body in the game, so things are simple, as long as we enter the game and kill us in reality, then we can stay in the game forever. At that time, there was no way to test whether this theory was correct, but we were all a little hesitant about this, after all, it was one thing to fight, and it was another thing to be killed quietly, and everyone was not willing to take the 50% risk of this possibility, and in this case, we would need someone to make a sacrifice, because in reality there is a person who really kills us, and this person is likely to die in the end. ”
Xiao Buli listened to Xuan Zhenzi's narration, and his mood seemed to gradually feel the threat of death and despair under his infection. "How did you finally come up with your decision?"
"No, we didn't make up our minds in the end, it was one person who made the decision for us, the experiment was slow to progress, and there were people who suffered from soul separation every day, although there were also new people who were added, but this means that the experimenter will inevitably die when it reaches a certain period of time, and finally General Huo also began to separate the heart demons, and unlike all of us, General Huo planned to cooperate with the heart demons from the beginning, and the voluntary cooperation with the heart demons is different from those who suffer from soul separation because of the fight against the heart demons, We didn't see the change in General Huo, until he began to ask us to help him collect a special material, we were not very familiar with this material, but at that time there was a person, named Lawson, he majored in magic circle spells, he accidentally revealed to me that this material is used to build portals, which is a common portal in the game, I don't know if he heard anything at the time, in short, he was a little mysterious and neurotic during that time, I once thought that his inner demon was about to defeat it, So that he also suffered from soul disorder. That day, his situation was particularly serious, General Huo ordered him to be locked in the observation room, that was the last checkpoint to enter the execution room, if the situation was still in that situation for two days, he would be locked up in the execution room, we all felt sorry for him, his ability in the game was not weak, when we planned the escape plan, he was a key part of our plan, lockpicking, because he majored in magic circle, machinery, and mechanism, so his lockpicking skills were very superb.
We entered the game as usual that day.,All of a sudden I felt like it was dark in front of me.,When I woke up again, we were still in the game.,The position hasn't changed.,At the time, I thought it was just some kind of reaction in the game.,I didn't care.,But when it came to the time to get off the plane at night.,We weren't woken up as usual.,At first, we weren't too worried.,After all, if we want to leave in the game.,You can wake up with your own willpower.,But as time goes by, We started to panic a little, some people tried to force out, but it didn't work, every time we opened our eyes, we were in the game, not only us, but even General Huo, but General Huo didn't seem to care too much about this, turned around and left us, I haven't seen him since, and I don't know if he has died in the game. A few of us stayed in the village, analyzed the situation at that time, and finally everyone felt that Bi Huaxuan's theory was probably right, and in reality we had been killed, but we didn't know who it was at the time. ”
"Is that Lawson?" Xiao Buli asked.
"Well, at that time, we thought that the military was also very likely, General Huo was not good at politics and had many opponents, and the failure of the experiment was also a good excuse to execute him. In the end, everyone felt that since what happened was what they had always hoped for, there was no need to regret it, everyone still began to live as before, and finally felt freedom and hope, but this good life did not last long, everyone began to be patterned one by one, at first the latest child among us, only twenty years old, at that time his profession was just a farmer, and soon we found out that something was wrong, his daily life was like a set of step-by-step movies, repeated, He never said a word to us much, every time he talked to him, he only had a few fixed answers, the weather is good today, I want to go to the village chief's house to see if there are any hired workers, hello, I hope you have a smooth day. He gradually became like the low-level characters in the game, and everyone began to look for a solution. I found my master, and he gave me the Dafa of Avatar Avatar, and although it took thirty years, I succeeded in the end, didn't I? Some complicated brilliance in Xuan Zhenzi's eyes turned in it, it turned out that his original intention was not to get rid of the demons in his heart, but to avoid turning himself into an NPC, but did he really escape such a fate? (To be continued......)
