Wake up.

Lu Yao looked at the metal piece in his hand.

It is somewhat like the knife coins of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, slightly heavy in the hand, metallic texture, and the knife surface is engraved with the traditional characters "Huijun Fu".

……

[Huijun Talisman]: Opens a long-distance portal to complete the instant teleportation and return to the specified world, and expires after use. Gods, Apostles, Heroes, Prophetic units, etc. are available.

……

This is the transmission prop that Song Shiyi gave to Isabel before, a total of two, she said that she can meet them when she finds a time to use it in two days.

Lu Yao took it back to the boundary chain.

He gave one to Isabel and then manipulated the yellow armor into proxy mode.

After activating the [Huijun Fu], the scene in front of Lu Yao's eyes changed abruptly, and countless light and shadow colors distorted and flashed, as if he was caught in a constantly changing ball of Skittles.

……

When he opened his eyes again, Lu Yao found himself in a square.

The white mist of the square lingered, and the ground under his feet was made of stone slabs, and wisps of white gas rose from the cracks in the stones, and then quickly dissipated.

A black circle was drawn on the area of the stone slab where Lu Yao stepped on, presumably the teleportation place marked by the [Huijun Fu].

Isabel also stood in the circle.

She regained her pixel world attire, wearing a [Nature Hat] and holding a [Nature Wand], and the magic book [Nature Secret Words] was hovering beside her.

"My lord, there are special limitations here, and perception is severely compressed."

Isabel looked around warily.

Suddenly, a man walked out of the fog ahead.

The man greeted from afar: "Mr. Huangjia, Miss Mary, here, here." ”

After approaching, Lu Yao confirmed that the other party was Song Shiyi.

She wears a blue jacket, gray outdoor trousers, and a pair of hiking boots underneath her feet. The moon god's personal panel is still a bunch of question marks.

"Please follow me."

Under Song Shiyi's lead, Lu Yao and the two passed through the mist. As we continued to move forward, the surrounding white fog became thinner, and the surrounding scenes became clearer.

It is a land or floating island in the clouds, surrounded by an endless sea of clouds.

In the middle of the clouds, where the clouds could not approach, stood a low, dusty palace.

It is said to be a palace because it occupies a large area, with a clear step structure on the edge, and a tall wooden stake similar to a Huabiao in front of the building, indicating that it does have some kind of totemic symbol.

Whether it is on TV or in the game, Lu Yao has never seen a palace more cold than in front of him.

The main body of the palace is made of bamboo and thatch, and has a wide triangular roof, with a wooden frame at the bottom to hang in the air, which looks like an ancient tribal council.

The roof is paved with patches of thatch, and the window is hung with a curtain woven of straw rope, and the only thing that can be considered imposing is the totem pole outside, on which a large bird with outstretched wings is carved on the top.

Lu Yao could see its data panel.

……

【West Pole Palace】: Mythological wonders. The origin is unknown.

Health: 142993/3550000

【Mythology】

【Land of Illusion】

The form that emerges within it is related to the person who enters it.

[Overlapping LV81]

The real and the unreal will be intertwined and difficult to distinguish.

【Kunlun】

Part of Kunlun.

……

Of all the descriptions, Lu Yao cared most about the last one.

The West Pole Palace is part of Kunlun.

In other words, this place may have been able to connect to Kunlun Mountain in the past, but I don't know if it is still possible now.

As the Kunlun Mountain Palace, the ruins of the Western Pole Country, the simplicity here is somewhat beyond Lu Yao's initial expectations.

But on the other hand, the style of painting of this mythical wonder does seem to be very far away, and both the layout and the structure highlight a simple and practical.

Lu Yao was looking at the West Pole Palace, and Song Shiyi next to him introduced them: "The site excavated by the West Pole Country project is here. ”

"The West Pole Palace is considered to be part of the West Pole Country, in fact, the West Pole Country is a relatively broad concept."

Song Shiyi took two more steps, pointed ahead and said, "We've arrived at the camp." ”

Lu Yao looked along Song Shiyi's hand.

The direction where her finger pointed was a young man in white, and a small black wood carved building on the ground.

Lu Yao looked at the latter.

This thing is about 30 centimeters high, divided into two layers, with cornices and corner and window sill door railings, and two small doors in the front open outward.

"This is the soap teacher's [Stove King Shrine], it will be very convenient to have this when you go out, please come in. There is a white heart watching outside, and it will be fine. ”

The white heart she said was the young man next to her. He was wearing a white hoodie, probably thirteen or fourteen years old, with short hair and a modest countenance.

"Hello two, the family teacher has been waiting in the shrine for a long time."

Lu Yao also nodded at him: "Hard work." ”

Song Shiyi walked first to the shrine on the ground, her body getting smaller and smaller, and walked in through the open door.

So that's what happened.

Lu Yao found that he couldn't recognize the characteristics of the [Stove King Shrine], and he estimated that it was a special ability or constraint left by the Stove King.

He also walked towards the shrine.

By the time Lu Yao arrived at the door, it had turned into an antique carved mansion in front of him.

A plaque is hung on the lintel at the top of the gate, which reads "東廚司命" from right to left.

There is a couplet on the left and right doorposts.

The upper link on the right is: Heaven says good things.

The lower link on the left is: return to the house and descend auspicious.

Lu Yao touched the door when he crossed the threshold, and the texture and texture of the wood were very clear.

Beyond the gate is a pool with a few red and white carp swimming in it.

Behind the pool is a stone wall screen.

Bypassing this is a pillar-and-beam hall, but the interior is completely modern: large modular sofas, thick carpets, glass coffee tables, spherical lamps hanging from the ceiling, square and simple wall-mounted storage cabinets, and a large 100-inch TV hanging on the wall.

"XX Sister Breaking the Waves" is playing on TV.

Wei Yingxue was nibbling on an apple at this time, lying on a lazy sofa. Although she is blind, it does not affect her listening to variety shows at all.

Lu Yao was slightly shocked.

Is this the modern shrine of the Lord of the Stove?

"Huh? This faint vintage scent...... Miss Mary. ”

Wei Yingxue turned her head and looked at the door through her sunglasses.

"And this one that is close to the smell of agarwood and rust...... Mr. Huang Jia. Are you here? ”

She got up from the couch and raised her hand to say hello.

Lu Yao also responded.

He was a little curious: "There is also a TV signal here?" Can I still watch the show? ”

"Of course not."

Wei Yingxue explained: "It's a recorded show, and I have recorded a lot of music variety shows and cross talk. It may not be appropriate to listen to cross talk here, so it's better to put variety shows. However, there is a home generator here, which can also be recharged. ”

Lu Yao breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably.

Fortunately, it's not the stove king shrine with its own TV signal.

Lu Yao found that there were several game consoles on the cabinet under the TV, including mainstream PS5, XBOX, Nintendo WiiU, and Switch.

Ah......h

Could it be that the Lord of the Stove is a grandfather's game house?

Lu Yao asked Song Shiyi next to him in a low voice.

"That? Mr. Soap occasionally plays. Usually when they are fine, Bai Xin and Hong Zhen will play game consoles. They love to play that, especially fighting and football, Mr. Huang Jia, do you like it too? ”

"Okay......"

Lu Yao was sincerely envious in his heart.

In the end, it is a veteran sailer, look at the life of others, this quality.

At this time, an old man's voice came from inside.

"The guests have arrived?"

An old man stepped out of the back room.

Ding Hanzhen looked to be about seventy years old, he was very thin, but he stood very straight, wearing an old-fashioned blue shirt with a black vest over it.

He has gray hair, but he is very energetic, and he is the kind of old man who still retains enthusiasm and interest in life.

"Yellow."

The old man shook hands with him with a smile: "Hello, hello, welcome to our group." ”

Lu Yao couldn't help but have a sense of déjà vu when he entered the university research group.

"Hello Mr. Soap." He also said.

"Miss Mary, hello, Xiao Song has been praising you, and it's really flattering."

The old man's focus is on Isabel's side, which makes Lu Yao a little speechless, even the Lord of the Stove attaches great importance to Isabel, and Isabel has no charm characteristics?

Lu Yao took the opportunity to observe Ding Hanzhen.

As a result, only one [Stove God] was displayed, and the others were all question marks, which were even more thorough than Song Shiyi.

A penetrating girl's voice came from the kitchen: "Teacher, the meal is ready." ”

"Then let's eat first, and talk while eating."

Ding Hanzhen rubbed his hands and walked to the back kitchen. Song Shiyi and Wei Yingxue also went over to help.

Lu Yao and Isabel joined the ranks.

Everyone took a stack of vegetables and rice and sat down at the long table.

For dinner, there are fish-flavored shredded pork and scrambled eggs with tomatoes, braised pork ribs and stir-fried beef with green onions, as well as three fresh soups, boiled cabbage hearts, crispy pickled radish, and finally a fruit composed of small tomatoes and cantaloupe.

This meal was extremely rich, and every dish was just right, which made Lu Yaodi feel for the first time that Xiaohuo still had a lot of room for improvement.

Song Shiyi looked at the girl next to her: "I'll bring him the white-hearted rice?" ”

"When he and I take over, he will come back to eat, and I will leave one for him."

The girl named Hongzhen said.

She looked no more than fifteen years old, the same age as Bai Xin on the outside. Hongzhen was wearing a red sweatshirt, she tied her hair with a red rope, and there was a sense of coldness and distance in her eyes.

Lu Yao asked Song Shiyi next to him in a low voice: "Who are Bai Xin and Hong Zhen?" ”

"It's an apostle, and it's also a disciple of Master Soap."

Song Shiyi also responded in a low voice: "Bai Xin is good at investigating and tracing trajectories, and Hong Zhen is a combat expert. But in fact, they heard what we said very clearly. ”

Lu Yao was a little embarrassed and could only cough.

Ding Hanzhen didn't seem to hear it, he whispered: "Since everyone is here." Then I will first talk about the West Pole Country project. ”

"This is the sixth time our group has come here. In the first few garrisons and surveys, we have come to several basic conclusions. ”

"One is that the West Pole Palace itself cannot be stored and transformed. The second is its construction method and style, which is confirmed to have been completed in the Western Zhou Dynasty or even earlier, which is in line with the period of the emergence of the country of the West Pole and the basic external characteristics. ”

"Let's talk about the progress of the Gong Wei Division."

"They entered the West Pole Palace, and now it is the third time. The first two times they stayed in it for a short time, and their feedback was that the first and second times were different. ”

"The first time I entered, there was a closed mausoleum inside the West Pole Palace, and nothing was found. The second time I entered, it turned into a chaotic battlefield. Every situation is real, the mausoleum is empty, and the battlefield is where many soldiers fight to the death...... And that's constantly changing. ”

"The third time, that is, this time, I finally encountered a relatively stable scene environment, which is a village, and I haven't given me the relevant information in the follow-up."

"What our group has to do is to extrapolate the specific age, cause, personnel and ability of the West Pole Palace according to the existing clues outside. It's a job that requires patience. ”

Ding Hanzhen briefly recounted, and his gaze stayed on Lu Yao and Isabel for a moment.

The old man smiled: "This is a routine group meeting, everyone can speak freely." Tell me your opinions and opinions. ”

“……”

Everyone was silent.

"No comments? Then adjourn. Ding Hanzhen clapped his hands.

Everyone immediately chatted actively.

……

Meal.

Lu Yao sat on the soft lazy sofa, he watched the variety show on the big screen TV, and his afterglow was aimed at others, and he couldn't help but have a strong sense of unreality.

Song Shiyi and Isabel were chatting about something.

Ding Hanzhen took a cup of tea and was flipping through a book with reading glasses.

Wei Yingxue lay on Ge You and listened to variety shows on the sofa.

The girl Hongzhen delivered snacks and drinks to everyone, and served as the maid service of the Stove King Shrine.

Is that how the Committee works?

Didn't we really come here for a vacation?

Lu Yao ate the sago dew and baked cookies made by Hongzhen and fell into deep thought.
