"Hey, Wen Ju, wake up quickly." Ji Chao patted Wen Ju's face, a little helpless.
"Huh?...Ah!?" Wen Ju opened his eyes in a daze, then suddenly realized something, sat up abruptly, and looked around in horror.
Then he saw Ji Chao and Zero Type One covered in blood.
"I-" He was about to roll his eyes again.
"Don't sleep! We have to get out." Ji Chao shook Wen Ju violently, completely waking up Wen Ju.
"No sir, what is going on here? I, you, you..." Wen Ju said incoherently without tears.
"We'll talk about the specific situation later. Type Zero and Type One have cleared away the aliens gathered outside the formation. Let's seize this opportunity and go there." Ji Chao had already carried his sleeping mat and other things. , looked at the junction, "If we don't rush over now, in a few hours there will be a lot of alien spirits gathering on the edge, and we will have to clean it up again."
"Huh? Are you still here!?" Wen Ju also hurriedly climbed up, hurriedly collected his sleeping mat and belongings, and followed behind the three of them.
Zhu Jian's huge corpse was still lying at the foot of the mountain. Wen Ju felt frightened when he passed by.
"Master Xiang, what on earth is this?"
"This thing's name is Zhu Jian. It is one of the many spirits and monsters. It is one of the more powerful ones." Ji Chao has already passed the border and has truly arrived outside the big formation. He is still looking at the big formation. Wen Ju from Fa Nei said, "Before the end of the Shang Dynasty, when the gods had not disappeared, these spirits were often active in the Central Plains, but now, they can only show off their evil in this foreign land."
Zero Type and One Type also crossed the border, leaving only Wen Ju. After looking at Zhu Jian's corpse twice more, he crossed the border.
"Master Xiang... Although it's a little late to ask this now, who are you?" Wen Ju looked at Ji Chao with a sad face. This kind of situation where he was the only one who didn't understand the current situation was too great. My balls hurt.
Ji Chao smiled and answered the question: "Wen Ju, what do you think will happen to the Central Plains if the beasts re-enter the Central Plains and have forgotten the countermeasures?"
"Huh?" Wen Ju scratched his head, not knowing how to answer.
"The gods have disappeared, but the spirits and monsters still exist. In order to protect the Central Plains, the gods have arranged a large formation to leave a glimmer of hope for the people of the Central Plains."
"And due to the wear and tear of time and the great source, the great formation gradually loses its effectiveness. As a back-up, the gods naturally arranged the time hundreds of years in advance."
"I am the one who responded to the Lord and the gods to perform the last step."
Ji Chao looked at Wen Ju with a smile, drew the seal with his hands again, and slowly closed the formation.
Wen Ju was still a little confused, so Ji Chao turned around and walked away: "Let's go, the journey is long, and you will know everything sooner or later."
...
Along the way, we met many demons and wolves, and occasionally Ao Yin and Tu Mo, but with Type Zero and Type One around, there was nothing to be afraid of.
"Haah...haah...don't you think it's a little difficult to breathe?" It had been more than a month since we entered the country. It was the twelfth lunar month, and the weather was already bad. It's cold, and it gets even colder as the altitude rises.
Ji Chao and Wen Ju were both wrapped in thick furs to keep out the cold, but Type Zero and Type One were still wearing thin clothes.
Wen Ju felt a little out of breath and couldn't help but stand there and rest for a while.
"You must be suffering from altitude sickness, please take a rest." Ji Chao smiled, spread his sleeping mat on the bluestone next to him, and sat on the ground.
"Ah ah ah, it's saved, it's saved..." Wen Ju immediately followed the instructions, lying on his sleeping mat even though it was cold.
"Do you want to drink the water you boiled before?" Ji Chao handed Wenju the kettle, and Wenju took it, and Gudong Gudong took two or three sips.
Type Zero and Type One stood not far away, like two iron towers. Type One often looked around, while Type Zero only nodded occasionally.
"Master Xiang, who are Zero and One Type? I remember you said they were your sons, but I always feel weird." Wen Ju looked at the dull Zero and One Type in confusion and asked Xiang Jichao.
"They are indeed my sons, but they are not the biological children born by me and the woman, but the artificial humans I transformed from the remains of immortals." Ji Chao replied casually, without hiding anything.
"Huh? Huh? That's it..." After spending such a long time with the three of them, Wen Ju was able to make himself less surprised when he heard the unexpected news.
Artificial humans, humans made by humans?
"It sounds like a mechanism or something." Wen Ju spoke frankly and truthfully expressed his feelings.
"It is indeed a mechanism." Ji Chao nodded, "Now they have not given birth to true humanity. Although they are called people, they are not real people. They are just machines that can discipline themselves. Without orders, they will not even Will take action.”
"But...as their father, manufacturer, and leader, I firmly believe that one day in the future they will give birth to true humanity, thus breaking away from the identity of machines and becoming real 'people'."
"After all, even artificial humans are still humans."
"As long as you are human, you will be changed by time and environment, and you will break away from simplicity and become complicated. This is something that every 'person' will experience, and I believe they will also experience it."
"It seems that you really treat them as children, that's great." Wen Ju sat up, sitting cross-legged on the sleeping mat, pressing his ankles with his hands, "Speaking of which, sir, why do you think of starting from How about running out of the big formation to save the Central Plains?"
"You can deduce how painful and torturous this journey will be. You already know it, right?"
Wen Ju shuddered as he spoke.
After coming out of the big formation, their experience could indeed be called pain and suffering.
Living in the open air, hungry and full, having to face heavy snow and cold, and dealing with aliens and spirits that would come out from the roadside from time to time, if it weren't for Wen Ju, he might have had nothing to worry about. Go crazy or die.
"You ask this? Well..."
"It's probably motivation or something. I feel strange. Generally speaking, no one is willing to take the initiative to do such a difficult thing, right?" Wen Ju shook his head, his eyes darkening slightly.
Glancing at Wen Ju, Ji Chao let out a sigh of relief and put a smile on his face.
"If I have to say it, it's just a Bole and a future!"
"That's all!"
Looking at Ji Chao who was laughing, Wen Ju was stunned for a moment, and then smiled.
"When you rescued me by the river, I wanted to say this, Mr. Xiang..."
Wen Ju raised his thumbs.
"You are such a man!"
