Pu's car attendant successfully "invited" Yun Ming, the storyteller, back to the Pu family's mansion, but the non-stop lecture that Yun Ming had expected did not happen. The Pu carriage attendant asked Dog Leg No. 1 to take Yun Ming to the guest room to rest, and he took the other Dog Legs out and ran off to nowhere.
In the east wing, Yun Ming felt relieved when he saw no one watching outside through the crack in the door. There happened to be pen, ink, paper and inkstones in the room, so Yun Ming used them to make a draft. He was not afraid that the contents on the paper would be discovered. People in this world couldn't understand simplified Chinese characters anyway.
"First of all, I have confirmed that Pu Che Shi also fell into the same trap as me. Zhong Yi must be in this world, and he is probably here." Yun Ming took up his pen and wrote two words on the rice paper: Jingcheng.
"But I don't know why, Pu Che Shi has no memory before the time travel. Hmm... maybe it's abnormal that I can retain the memory before the time travel? I'm not sure, it needs to be verified."
"What worries me the most is that person. That person must have come here too. It's even harder to say what his position is to me. It's easy to kill me in this world. The only thing I can rely on now is the deep courtyard of Pu Mansion. There is a question mark as to whether these two things, the high wall and the martial arts guards patrolling the mansion, can stop him."
This time Yun Ming did not write down the key words, but simply drew a cross on the paper with an ink pen.
"Think about the worldview of this world again. Assuming that this world is really built by anomalies like SCP-826, then the template material is a book that has both martial arts and fantasy magic. The two elements coexist. Is the setting so outrageous?”
"I have already seen the martial arts part today. As for the fantasy part, it is said that the cause of the explosion in Wang Gong Factory was a magical treasure named Laoshizi... Why do I not believe it so much."
Yun Ming drew a cube to represent the divine treasure: "Based on my years of experience in immersing myself in books, I'm afraid there is a conspiracy behind this divine treasure."
"Even I can just go to the street and find two ordinary people to inquire about the rumor of the divine treasure. It shows that this news is widely spread. It is true that there must be a monster when something goes wrong."
"If this so-called divine treasure is fishing, it can explain a lot of things. It seems that the fight for the divine treasure and the conspiracy behind the divine treasure are the main plot."
"And, the Pu family that concerns me the most." A big "Pu" character appeared on the rice paper: "This kind of rare surname is generally not commonly used in China. It is possible that the Pu family is included in the original setting. It's very small, and it's probably because this world temporarily created a wealthy family based on Pu Che Shi's soul memory. So this power is too cheating, isn't it? Can it also tailor a suitable environment for the people locked here? Eh...it's so difficult to wake up..."
Yun Ming had a headache because he found that the more he analyzed the world, the more he realized how difficult this place was.
"Wait a minute, if it is really tailor-made, and combined with Zhong Yi's real-life identity and powers, then the most likely place for him to stay in this world is..." A flash of lightning suddenly flashed through his mind, Yun Ming was like Conan Like a possessed person, I had an epiphany.
"Dunk dunk dunk", a short knock on the door suddenly interrupted Yun Ming's thoughts. Yun Ming folded the paper with the draft and responded loudly: "Who is it?"
A strange voice came from outside the door: "Is this Donor Yun in the house?"
"Exactly." Yun Ming blurted out, then realized later: "Huh? Donor?"
"Please give me the trouble, Donor Yun, to ask the poor monk to come into the house to talk." After hearing this, Yun Ming was basically sure that the person outside the house was a monk. Although he didn't know why he came to see him, he had the mentality to make contact with him. , Yun Ming stepped forward and opened the door for him.
As soon as he opened the door, Yun Ming was stunned because the person standing outside the door was actually a foreign monk.
But when I saw this man, he had green eyes, an aquiline nose, and a yellow beard, which matched the appearance of all Westerners. He had a big bald head and was shaved brightly. He was wearing an earthy yellow monk's robe and a pair of cloth monk shoes. There is a string of rosewood rosary beads. Looking closely at the two rosary beads, the one on the hand is of normal size, but the one wrapped around the neck is exaggerated. Each one is about the size of an adult's fist. It's just that this foreign monk is tall and strong, and the rosary with such an unusual size hanging around his neck doesn't look very conspicuous at first glance.
There were so many flaws that Yun Ming couldn't spit them out for a while, and it took him a long time to say this: "Did the Buddha really live through this like you?"
"Oh? What did the donor mean by this?" The foreign monk thought about it seriously and asked Yun Ming for advice honestly. Obviously, he did not get the key point of what he said.
Yun Ming woke up at this time and said: "Ah, it's okay, I dare to ask the master's name."
"I don't want to be a master. I just wander around and practice hard. The poor monk Wharton has met the donor."
…………
Wharton chatted in Yun Ming's room for an hour, and it wasn't until noon that he said goodbye to Yun Ming.
The servants of the Pu Mansion very thoughtfully delivered lunch to Yun Ming's room, a combination of meat and vegetables, fruit desserts, and even drinks.
This meal was really good, but Yun Ming couldn't taste it. He couldn't help it, and he was worried: "I, the Puche Waiter, and the layman Wharton who just left, here are three samples."
"That Wharton must have come from time and space, too. It's so obvious."
"Both he and Pu Cha Shi have lost their previous memories. Judging from this, I am in the minority who can retain their memories."
"There is another new discovery. This world can undoubtedly control the thoughts of NPCs. Even if people in the Ming Dynasty lack the concept of foreigners, they should have the concept of barbarians. Look at Wharton's yellow-bearded Buddhist disciple. A person feels it is against the law.”
"Well, if only Wharton retained his memory, I could also calculate the ratio of time passage between this world and the real world from the day he traveled through the world to the number of days he was trapped in the virtual world. But it's not one to one. .”
…………
Looking at Wharton again, he returned to his guest room with satisfaction after communicating with Yun Ming for an hour.
He had always wanted to travel around the world, and when he left the Shaolin Temple, he had the intention of traveling around the world. He had heard before that the new Mr. Yun Xiao from Chengnan Shopping Street was well-read and well-informed, so he could compile such a wonderful story as "The Case of Di Gong". Wharton had always wanted to meet Yun Ming, talking about the famous mountains and rivers. Today I got my wish.
Some people may still remember that this person is Sam Chapman's bodyguard, Wharton Leeds, nicknamed "The Traveler", and he is also the first bodyguard to be killed in tonight's Southeast Asian coup night. Under the attack of the Xiao sisters, Wharton barely had time to fight back before his soul was imprisoned by Xiao Qi's Book of Self-Atonement, and his body left in the real world became a vegetative state.
At that time, Wharton was not dead yet, because Sam installed vital sign detection devices in his bodyguards. In order not to alert the enemy, Xiao Qing kept Wharton alive. It wasn't until Sam's motorcade drove near Xiao Qi that the latter killed Wharton and chased him out wearing flying metal wings.
So now, Wharton's body has died, but his soul is still trapped in the Book of Redemption. The book of self-redemption cannot permanently preserve the soul. The soul that has lost the vitality of the body is like water without a source. It will eventually dry up. The effect of death is becoming more and more obvious on Wharton. The collapse of the soul is gradually increasing. Accelerate as time goes by.
"Cough...cough cough cough..." One second Wharton was having a good lunch, and the next second he coughed violently without warning, as if he wanted to cough out his entire lungs.
"Oh, it's finally over." Wharton wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with a piece of white cotton cloth: "I had an inexplicable cough that started more than a month ago. I couldn't find the cause no matter how hard I searched, and there was no sign of poisoning at all. In the past two days, Zhou has gotten worse."
"Along with the cough, there are also some physical incoordination. For example, the chopsticks are becoming more and more awkward to use; my thinking is also wrong, and the thoughts of breaking the precept are getting stronger every day..."
What Wharton meant by breaking the commandment was eating meat. Due to the gradual collapse of his soul, the "brainwashing" effect of the Book of Self-Atonement on him was no longer as good as before. Wharton is originally from Europe and America, and his eating habits include eating beef and mutton and using knives and forks. The Book of Self-Atonement will only have more and more control loopholes in these details, and will eventually collapse. Of course, that situation would also mean Wharton's complete death.
The respectful voice of the Pufu servant came from outside the house: "Master Wharton, it's time. Mr. Pu is preparing in the hall."
"Okay, I'll come."
Wharton stood up, opened the door, and went to the hall.
What is he going to do? It's simple, go treat the Pu family.
Yes, you read that right. The character of Wharton in The Book of Self-Atonement is really the image of a monk with superb medical skills, strong martial arts and a warm heart.
So where did Wharton's medical skills come from... Please look back at Chapter 74 of this work. The only time Wharton took action caused the assassination target's "all internal organs to be in chaos".
His superpower is called "Scalpel" and he has the ability to change the position and physiological structure of the internal organs of the human body.
As long as Wharton is willing, he can move his heart into his stomach, put kidneys in his skull, and have eyes on the back of his head. However, it is impossible to create something out of nothing with his current ghost-level superpower level. To realize the body maintenance system of multiple hearts and brains circulating together requires him to upgrade to dragon level or even nuclear level.
Of course, in Wharton's consciousness at this moment, he understood his superpower as a Zen martial arts called "Dharma Shifting Technique". In addition to being a life-saving skill for Wharton as he traveled around the world, this Kung Fu was also used by him for physical therapy. Wharton came to Pu Mansion as a guest for three days and was invited to clear the meridians of Mr. Pu.
He is also one of many people in the martial arts world who have plans for the divine treasure. Practitioner Wharton himself is quite capable. He and Ruan Dandan, the lady with simple hands, are both near-first-class masters in the world. They also have superb "medical skills" and can save lives and heal the wounded. Therefore, they have a good reputation in the world and are strong competitors for the divine treasure.
Wharton knew that he was being targeted from the moment he entered the city, so when the Pu Mansion sent someone to the hotel where he was staying and asked them to nurse Mr. Pu back into shape, Wharton readily agreed in order to find a man. Spend these days in a safe and secure place until the sixth day of May.
Of course, there are always some people in this world who make a living by licking blood with the tip of a knife, and the high walls and deep courtyards of Pufu cannot stop them...
