Around the table, everyone sat down.

The two Ding Hanzhen are one on the left and one on the right, like two door gods.

Lu Yao had to use the spell of true vision to identify the ontology and the advocate.

The deity, Ding Hanzhen, took the teacup handed by Hongzhen and said, "After entering the West Pole Palace, I will take Hongzhen to conduct a step-by-step survey along the area where Pang Li walked......

……

Ding Hanzhen went to the West Pole Palace to help Wei Qixiang find Pang Li's body and try to solve the mystery of the advocate here.

At the same time, the village inside is changing rapidly.

The houses were much more visible to the naked eye, the dirt floor was replaced by stone roads, and the thatched houses were replaced by wooden houses, with stone walls and courtyards.

The costumes of men, women, and children have also become diverse, and more advocates have appeared.

In a short period of time, a village has evolved into a small town.

Wei Qixiang explained this: "Our previous investigation found that the changes in the West Pole Palace will accelerate sharply with the increase of people entering from the outside world, just like a stone thrown into calm water. ”

"Therefore, I request that the number of people in the Arch Guard Division of the West Pole Palace remain at five. The fewer people who enter, the more stable the environment inside and the more suitable it is for investigation. ”

"It should be that you and Miss Hongzhen entered here, which has affected the changes in the West Pole Palace. The more powerful the gods enter, the more intuitive the effect becomes. ”

Ding Hanzhen entered the West Pole Palace for the first time.

He had been doing perimeter surveys before.

A heritage excavation project has always had a long cycle, basically in 10 years.

Although the flow of time in the Void Universe is slower than that of the Void Universe, the movement felt in it is synchronized, which means that even if it is a day in the outside world, Ding Hanzhen will indeed spend more than ten years here.

In addition, there is a serious shortage of manpower, so the progress of Ding Hanzhen's side is very slow.

He made a series of sand table replications and comparative investigations of the sea of clouds near the ground, the stone slab ground, the bird totem, and the Ganqi-style architectural structure, mainly for technical support.

The entry of Song Shiyi, Lu Yao and others allowed him to withdraw and go inside.

After entering, Ding Hanzhen quickly tried to communicate with the advocates.

In the West Pole Palace, the advocates are also divided into many small groups.

They speak different languages and accents: there are the Tongyu that circulated in the Qin and Han dynasties, the Yayan as an official dialect, the Wuyin of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Wu in the fifth and sixth centuries AD, the ancient Cantonese, the Jin language, the Min language, and the southwestern dialect...... The list goes on and on.

Ding Hanzhen only identified a limited number of them, but fortunately, the godhead gave the gods the ability to communicate without barriers in the void.

What he can be sure of is that the promoters here come from different eras and regions.

It seems that these people live together, but it is more like they were forcibly grouped together by external forces. However, although they are also accustomed to dialects, the advocates have already completed the integration of languages and can communicate with each other.

These natives in the West Pole Palace are very happy to talk, and they have no rejection of outsiders.

"Hello...... I am in the Yuan Dynasty of the Han Dynasty, and I fell off the cliff and was introduced to this fairyland by an immortal, and you were also accepted? ”

Ding Hanzhen immediately knew that this was a person from the Western Han Dynasty.

"I'm Liu Guoren, is Liu Wengong still there?"

Liu State, that was a vassal state in the Spring and Autumn Period.

"This old gentleman, did our Jin Kingdom win the Qin Kingdom?"

The era of Qin and Jin hegemony.

"I should have drowned in the early years of Yongchu, and I woke up and was brought here by a god."

This is a native of the Song Dynasty of the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

……

Ding Hanzhen asked dozens of advocates and found that although they came from different dynasties, they all had similar experiences.

They were brought into the Palace of the West Pole because they were about to die or had died for various reasons. As for the appearance of the gods and immortals who brought them, they could not tell clearly.

Advocate people to work at sunrise and rest at sunset like ordinary people.

Here, farming and animal husbandry are not for the sake of appetite, but a leisurely way of life.

"It's really nice that Wonderland doesn't go hungry."

Most advocates are proud of it.

Ding Hanzhen had inspected on the spot, and the crops grown in the soil and the livestock raised in the captivity were all just illusions formed by some kind of high-level spell.

The boundaries of the village are expanding little by little, as if a small world is evolving.

And in the eyes of the advocates, this is all normal.

That's how Wonderland works.

That one sentence explains it all.

Surrounded by the Peach Blossom Garden of the West Pole Palace, they have no worries and are used to everything here.

Ding Hanzhen retraced the route that Pang Lizeng had patrolled, which was a ridge near the edge of the village. Now, the fog next to it has further dissipated, revealing large swaths of land and wild grass.

There is nothing suspicious in the vicinity of Tiankan.

According to Pang Li's own statement, he was always in the line of sight of General Wei Qixiang, and he didn't see any strange phenomena, but for a moment he seemed to be in a daze.

Ding Hanzhen noticed that there were no advocates around the field, as if it was some kind of convention.

He approached people nearby to ask, and they avoided talking about it, as if it were some kind of taboo.

is still a child riding a bull, because of Ding Hanzhen's stove food, I couldn't help but tell him.

"There's a man-eating monster, and that stranger must have been eaten. It was definitely the great immortal who saved him, otherwise he would have died. ”

While eating the sticky sugar melon, the cow baby smashed her mouth and said: "There are also people in the village who suddenly disappear, and they are all eaten." There is a monster suppressed under the fairyland, and that monster is very scary, saying that it will only come out once in many years. ”

"It must have been a stranger who woke it up, so it was eaten."

Ding Hanzhen said in obedience: "What does the underground monster look like? ”

"I don't know. Can't see it. ”

"Who is the Great Immortal?"

"I don't know. Do you still have any sugar? ”

……

Although the child's words are exaggerated, the news revealed is worth thinking about.

Assuming that the premise of becoming an advocate is to be on the verge of death, then Pang Li, who was attacked by an invisible beast, triggered a certain rule mechanism at the moment of death, and was transformed into an advocate.

There is no trace of the monster, and only the near-death event is manageable.

Ding Hanzhen decided to try it himself.

Hongzhen took the initiative to ask Ying to do it instead of him.

Even if the Soul Eaters die, they can manage to unite and revive again.

Through the effect of specific props, Hong Zhen enters a near-death state, but in an instant, Hong Zhen recovers to her original state, but has become an advocate.

Ding Hanzhen found some clues.

"Stove Food" shows that some kind of regular power remains, and it is synchronized and exchanged with Hongzhen. This scene is exactly the same as Pang Li's Sugar Man change.

It cannot be observed with the naked eye, and the high-precision props fail to capture.

It is suspected to be a phenomenon specific to the formation of a regular complex of the West Pole Palace.

Previous speculations have also been preliminarily confirmed.

As soon as an entrant falls into the near death process, they are immediately transformed into an advocate.

After making a lot of preparations, Ding Hanzhen experimented with himself for the second time, and he lifted some of his precautions to avoid the rules from becoming invalid.

After his near-death experience, he came back to his senses and realized that he had also become an advocate.

However, this time, Ding Hanzhen had already designed it and put a mark on the body.

"Hongzhen, I'm going to find all the lost bodies. You go back first and tell everyone for me......"

The Eater returns after receiving the order.

After separating from Hongzhen, Ding Hanzhen, who advocated the body of a person, used the sacrificial stove candle to find it all the way. His Boundary Chain is still available, but with a special generation.

The impact is not huge.

The flame of the candle pointed straight to the sky.

Ding Hanzhen rode the wind, experienced strong winds and turbulence, and entered a new world in the tinnitus and dazzling light.

Between the clouds in the sky, he found his body. The clouds contain a wide variety of bodies, only a few of which remain active, and all flesh and blood bodies are in a state of extreme cold.

And in this cloudy twilight where the flesh is stored, there is also a flexible living person.

The man was driving a strange wooden-wheeled cart with sails on top of it that could glide through the clouds.

The driver spoke very awkward old Chinese, and shouted and waved at him from afar.

Ding Hanzhen could only vaguely make out that the other party's language was between the ancient Yin Shang language and the literary language.

As the two sides approached, he saw the appearance of the comer.

The man was between thirty and forty years of age, with a turban on his head, a deep coat made of linen, and a short coat over it, and he looked dark and thin, and his eyes were full of curiosity.

Ding Hanzhen used the ability of [Stove God] to identify the identity of the other party, and he smoothed the language barrier with his godhead and communicated with the other party.

"We have to wait for the advocate to complete it, don't worry."

The man waved his hands and said, "You can't be in a hurry, you can't be in a hurry, if you are in a hurry, you will break the advocate, you can move around now, but please don't fight or damage this body." Only when the final creation is completely completed can we truly transform into human beings from the false to the true. ”

Ding Hanzhen asked him, "Yanshi, did Zhou Tianzi send you here?" ”

"Yes, obey the king's orders, imitate the art of man, and make an advocate of the exchange of life and death."

Yanshi was very straightforward: "This gentleman, does the Son of Heaven have a new order?" ”

He regarded Ding Hanzhen as a noble minister sent by King Mu of Zhou.

The two sides had a shallow to deep exchange.

Ding Hanzhen gradually figured out the context.

Yanshi mastered the peculiar technique of making advocates, and heard that Zhou Tianzi had returned from the west, so he went to perform the arts, in order to use the power of King Mu of Zhou to produce more advocates.

Zhou Tianzi was amazed by the exquisite skill of the Yanshi, and after bringing him back to the Zhou Kingdom, he was sent to the West Pole Palace, so that the craftsman could continue to produce people.

The fact that the Yanshi Advocate can be completed in an instant is that there is a prerequisite, and it must be a living person with flesh and blood as a template and raw material.

The advocate who is made is in communion with the Buddha-figure.

If the deity is not dead, it is like a person having two bodies.

The West Pole Palace was transformed by Zhou Tianzi, so that it was integrated with the power of the Yanshi, and the Yanshi could transform any flesh and blood body that entered the West Pole Palace anytime and anywhere in the cloud, and instantly completed the exchange of life and death shells with [Overlap of Truth and Falsehood].

The dying were sent to the cloud top of the West Pole Palace, and the Yanshi helped those people recover from their bodies in this way.

Once the advocates are made, they will be placed in the world below to confirm that their actions are all right. This period can range from a few years to several decades.

During the activity test, the two most common failures of advocates are not perceiving pain, and always being too happy. These two points are very strange in normal people, and they need to be observed and adjusted for a long time.

Eventually, the advocate who has completed the whole process of resurrection will be sent back to the outside world, and as for where it will go, Yanshi does not know.

I don't know what day it started, the West Pole Palace suddenly broke down, and it was no longer possible to take the advocate out.

It hadn't been a year since the Yanshi had seen a near-dead body come in.

The lonely craftsman said, "Are you sent by the king to extract the proponents?" Excluding those who were taken away, there are now a total of eighteen thousand four hundred and thirty-six advocates alive here, who are not fundamentally different from ordinary people except for their physical structure, and they have a very long lifespan. ”

"Nope. I have something else to ask you. ”

Ding Hanzhen retrieved his and Hongzhen's bodies from Yanshi, and also brought back a pair of advocate bodies, earning two substitutes inside and out.

……

After speaking, the old man took a sip of tea.

Lu Yao found a key problem: "Yanshi has a problem. ”

According to the reign of King Mu of Zhou, so far, Yanshi has been working in the West Pole Palace for 3,000 years.

Considering that the West Pole Palace is located in the Void Universe, according to the ratio of the minimum Void Universe for 1 day and 10 years in the Void Universe, 3000 years is 10.95 million years!

Can anyone really do one thing over and over again for 10 million years?

Lu Yao was very skeptical of this.

He did a part-time job in college, going to a factory to pack chocolates, and just two days made his mind numb and he felt unbearable.

The ancients were more patient and survived, but could they really do it to this extent?

"Xiao Huang found out?"

Both Ding Hanzhen laughed.

Advocate Ding Hanzhen looked at Lu Yao: "You're right, I can see it very clearly when I meet him." Yanshi is not a normal person, he is a divine bestower. ”

"And the Yanshi was given the order to make as many advocates as possible."

"And."

Ding Hanzhen looked at everyone in the group and gestured and said, "Yanshi has three eyes, his left hand is a prosthetic hand, but the eye on his forehead is covered by a turban, and his left hand is also covered by a sleeve. It is impossible for King Zhou Mu not to find out about this back then, but he still brought him back to China......"

"The identity of the Yanshi, I'm afraid it's not simple."
