Chapter 104, Hello, Wen Chaogong
Pan Long observed the bamboo slip for a long time before asking, "How should I use it?"
"Recognize the Lord with blood."
As blood dripped on the bamboo slips, the old bamboo slips emitted a bright light, and then suddenly turned into a ray of light and flew into Pan Long's body.
Pan Long closed his eyes and entered the fragments of the Shanhai Sutra.
The world of nothingness has changed. There is a red sun above the head, a brilliant galaxy under his feet, and the green and yellow energy surrounds his body. More importantly, compared with the past, there is a clear feeling of vitality here.
He thought about it, took a step forward, and came to the sea of stars.
The stars flickered quietly and floated motionlessly in front of him.
"It seems that there is no change here..." he said to himself, "There is an additional fragment of the mountain and sea meridians. What are the benefits?"
He thought that he had obtained another fragment of Shanhai Jing. Even if the effect of 1+1 cannot be greater than 2, it should be at least equal to 2. But now it seems that the result of 1+1 seems to be 1.5 or even lower... There is no qualitative change at all.
"Could this be actually similar to the program version. My previous version was version 1.0, and now it is version 1.1? So do you have to collect ten bamboo slips to upgrade to version 2.0? But...what should I do if I upgrade to 1.91?"
He remembered that some programs were able to appear in a crazy way with version numbers such as 1.0012, and not one or two.
If Shanhai Jing is the same, wouldn’t he be like the male and female protagonists in an old animation? He did almost nothing else in the whole story, just looking for fragments of a treasure all over the world, trying to get it all together and destroy it...
After leaving the Mountains and Seas, he sighed deeply.
At this moment, the tablet computer flew up and turned into a ray of light, flying into his body.
"What's going on?" Pan Long was shocked, and his first reaction was - Could it be that he wanted to take over the body?
He soon found that he was thinking too much. When he returned to the Shanhai Jing, he saw a tablet floating in front of him, motionless, and looked very honest and had no intention of causing trouble.
"What's wrong with you?" he asked.
"Wen Chao's heritage is divided into two parts. The physical heritage is the fragments of the Shanhai Jing, and the non-physical heritage is the information stored on this computer." On the screen, the avatar replied, "This computer relies on the existence of the Shanhai Jing, and will automatically follow the owner of the Shanhai Jing."
Pan Long understood, thought about it and asked again: "You said that the physical heritage is a fragment of the Shanhai Jing, so what about the things in the warehouse and library?"
"The information in the library is backed up in the computer. All things in the warehouse can be created using the Shanhai Jing. Obtaining the Shanhai Jing and the computer means getting the warehouse and the library."
"What about the original warehouses and libraries?"
"Continue to exist as a backup."
Pan Long nodded and no longer worried - he had no special needs for these external objects.
"I observed that the successor has obtained the second fragment of Shanhai Jing, and the special task 'Dialogue across time' can be activated?"
Pan Long was stunned for a moment, then understood a little: "Let's start."
A light shone out from the tablet computer, and a thin and haggard middle-aged man projected in front of him.
This man's hair is messy, his beard is full of wrinkles, and his clothes are wrinkled. He can tell at a glance that he doesn't take care of his appearance. His eyes are sunken, his bags are like goldfish, and his heavy circles even look like a panda. His whole body exudes a breath of exhaustion that is almost dead, as if he has enjoyed too much "blessings" and is one step away from sudden death.
But his eyes were bright, as bright as if he had just achieved a small goal. He didn't have to worry about his prodigal son. He was in high spirits and was ready to do something big, either succeed or be buried.
"Hello, my name is Wen Chao. I am your senior in the time travel industry." He introduced himself, "I don't know what era you are. Maybe not many years, or maybe it has been a long time... But I think that no matter how long it has passed, my pseudonym should still be remembered. My pseudonym is 'Wen Chao Gong'."
Pan Long nodded: "I have long admired Daming. My name is Pan Long. Whether in this world or that world, I should be considered a junior - at least I should have traveled much later than you."
Wen Chao smiled and said, "The me you see now is strictly speaking, it is not the real 'Wen Chao'. It's just a holographic image I saved with magic and technology. I don't know where the real Wen Chao went. Maybe he died, maybe he went back, maybe... what I talked to you now is Wen Chao who left this 'Dragon Slaying Treasure'. So what I know is only at this time - June 18, 14th year of Daxia."
"This image can't help you. It has no magical powers and magic powers, only knowledge. But the truly important information has been recorded in the book for a long time and you can find it yourself. So if you want me to do something for you, then forget it."
"In other words, everyone talk casually, right?" Pan Long said with a smile, "It's good. It's the first time I have met a fellow villager in time traveling through so many years. It's already great if there's a fellow villager who can chat with him."
Wen Chao said: "It's not necessary to chat casually. I mainly want to talk to you about what I and Zhao Sheng happened. I don't know how we introduced the history books and folk stories you have seen. I'm not interested in it. How future generations comment on it has nothing to do with me. But I hope I can give you some more intuitive or first-hand information so that you can do that big thing in the future."
"What's the big deal?" Pan Long asked, "Disassembly of Jiuzhou?"
"If the Jiuzhou Formation still exists in your era, then if you want to dismantle it, you will definitely be an enemy of Zhao Sheng. Zhao Sheng - or the 'Emperor Jiazi' is a very powerful person. You must have some understanding of him to have a little hope of success."
Pan Long shook his head: "Di Jiazi has long been dead, and he has been dead for many years."
Wen Chao opened his mouth wide and seemed very surprised. After a few seconds, he came to his senses and couldn't help asking: "Zhao Sheng is dead? He is so stupid, how could he die? Moreover, he has the power of the Jiuzhou Formation. Unless he is nervous and walks out of the Jiuzhou Formation, even if the immortals and Buddhas can do anything to him, how could he die?"
"I don't know, but he has really died for many years. The Great Xia Dynasty has been changing from generation to generation to the twenty-ninth emperor."
Wen Chao frowned in confusion, thought for a while, and muttered: "Can I say that after I left this treasure, I went back and died with him? It's impossible! If I have the ability to die with him, why should I leave this treasure? Then I will take off my pants and fart - Is this a waste of time!"
Pan Long introduced the origin of his family.
After listening to his introduction, Wen Chao nodded slightly, thinking about something.
After a while, Wen Chao said: "It seems that Zhao Sheng was seriously injured because of the destruction of the Jiuzhou Formation, and was seriously injured. Then he was probably attacked by me and finally died together... Well, without him, it would be much easier to dismantle the Jiuzhou Formation. Although it is still difficult to hell, at least there is a lot of hope of success than before "unable" before."
"Since Zhao Sheng and I are both dead, then what happened to us back then... Haha, it's okay not to say it. Anyway, there is nothing new under the sun. My good brother who once shared life and death finally turned against each other because of the conflict of ideas, and even died together. Such a thing is embarrassing." Wen Chao said, "I had a personality test before to find someone with similar values to me to fight Zhao Sheng. But he died, even if I was in vain... Haha, it's good, it's good..."
He laughed with a happier look, but his expression seemed a little lonely.
Pan Long sighed and said, "Actually, I'm quite curious about what happened to you back then. I really can't tell me?"
"There is nothing to say about our things back then. It's just two plug-in men who work with each other with their golden fingers to become bigger and stronger little by little, and finally wipe out the world and end the troubled times. If we just want to find this fantasy, it's basically the same." Wen Chao said lightly, "If you have to say that there is something worth mentioning, it's probably the legacy of our two."
"When we traveled through time, each of us chose a treasure that accompanied us through time. Zhao Sheng chose the Shanhai Sutra, which could turn the virtual into reality, open the door to the fantasy world, obtain resources from those worlds, and make achievements. I chose the Jiuzhou Ding, which could observe the sky and the earth, gather people's luck and the earth's veins and feng shui, and create the right time, place and people."
"Later we established the Great Xia Dynasty. Zhao Sheng convinced me to divide the Jiuzhou tripod into nine, integrate the Jiuzhou earth veins, and cooperate with the formations from various places to finally form the Jiuzhou great formation. With the power of the great formation, it is no problem to move mountains and seas, and suppress the immortals and Buddhas. With this great formation, there is a possibility of conquering all directions, destroying all dissatisfaction, and finally establishing a grand era."
"And in exchange, he divided the Shanhai Jing into two, half for me, and the remaining half as the center of the Jiuzhou Formation, constantly extracting power from the fantasy world, maintaining the operation of the formation on the one hand, and constantly strengthening the formation on the other hand."
"According to his idea, if you continue to operate like this, just after hundreds of years, the earth veins and luck of the entire Jiuzhou will be integrated. At that time, the emperor will control Jiuzhou and will be the god of the human world."
Pan Long said: "But he obviously failed, otherwise the Emperor of Xia would not have changed from generation to generation."
"It's good if you fail. The world needs wise rulers and wise ministers, but not eternal God King. Especially his later thoughts were even more infatuated. He actually wanted to draw the spiritual energy of Jiuzhou into the God Capital, cut off the extraordinary path of Jiuzhou, and create a situation where the gods rule mortals... This is crazy!" Speaking of this, Wen Chao suddenly became angry, "It is natural for us to pacify the troubled times and become the emperor of a generation with this merit. But if we do this step, we will cross the line!"
Next, he talked about the long time and talked about the process of his quarrel with Zhao Sheng many times. Pan Long just listened and did not disturb him.
When Wen Chao finally said he was tired and stopped, he realized that his actions were a bit rude. He laughed dryly and said to Pan Long: "Sorry, let you listen to my complaints... Everyone can meet is fate. If you have anything you want to do, I have at least intercepted some of the power of the Jiuzhou Formation, which can help you do it."
Pan Long thought for a while and asked carefully: "You have a wide range of knowledge and great powers. Are there any means to bring back the dead?"
"Resurrection is a big topic, including many completely different situations." Wen Chao, "In general, it is not difficult for a person who just died and has a complete body to be resurrected. But if he died for many years and his body rotted into bones, it would be very difficult."
Pan Long's eyes lit up: "It's very difficult, it's not impossible, right?"
"That's right. In this world, there is no 'absolute'. As long as you have enough abilities, nothing can be done." Wen Chao said, "Even if you are crushed and even your soul is killed by the scumbag, as long as you have enough abilities, you can still be resurrected."
"What can I do if I want to resurrect a person who has been dead for several years and whose body is not very complete?" Pan Long asked anxiously.
"Did you use magic weapons to contain this person's soul at that time?"
"No."
"Did this person have any great merits or great sins in his lifetime?"
“…it probably isn’t either.”
Wen Chao thought about it and said to the tablet floating next to him: "Search the database."
The screen flashed for a moment, and with the big words "in search", many small words and symbols kept jumping, and it took a minute or two to stop.
A list appears in front of Pan Long.
[Scheme 1: Replacement method. Introduction: Use four to five times the soul to replace the soul of the deceased and replant the complete body. Difficulty: low. Success rate is estimated: 35%. Side effects: None yet.]
[Scheme 2: Prayer Star. Introduction: Search for a world with the "Prayer" function, bring props with this function back to Jiuzhou to pray. Difficulty: High. Success rate is estimated: 50%. Side effects: attention by immortals and Buddhas.]
[Scheme 3: Reversal method. Introduction: Reversal time briefly in a specific region, pulling the person who was once alive from the past to the present time. Difficulty: extremely high. The success rate is estimated: 100%. Side effects: If you can do this, you don’t have to care about any side effects.]
Looking at these three plans, Wen Chao nodded and said, "It's roughly these three directions. Specifically, depending on the details, there are many adjustments in these three directions. Each direction can be derived from several specific implementation plans... It's actually not an exaggeration to revive the dead. We did it several times back then, simple, simple."
Pan Long was stunned. He never thought that there were so many ways to recover from the dead.
He once asked Bi Lingkong for help, but Bi Lingkong, the strongest demon god in Jiuzhou, was powerless to do anything about it. She asked back: "If I have a way to revive my life, why not resurrect all my fellow Confucians?"
