Yamafu Military Affairs

Chapter 451 Virtual and Real
"Whether we can successfully rescue Di Ting is indeed a question, but one thing is for sure, it has nothing to do with the list of names we are discussing now."

Chu Qing, who had been resting with his eyes closed, heard someone talking off topic and immediately said a few words, not at all tolerant of the young man holding a sword who was also in the second seat.

Chu Qing's words aroused the response of many people.

But in the minds of many people, even though Qin Huai successfully rescued Chu Lie in the last salvage incident, they still don't think highly of a peak Baji master who is not even an agent. They think that he can perform exceptionally well in the complex environment of [Yu Bingzi 27] with high spiritual and demonic power and accomplish a feat that even the Lords of Yama could not do.

When Yan Zhaohui received the news that Di Ting was in trouble, the Lord of Feathers who was in charge of [Feather·Bingzi 27] brought down this high-level fruit within five minutes. However, this Four Imperial Guardians, who was recognized as the strongest among the Ten Lords and could even pick several high-level fruits when he went crazy, still found nothing in the chaotic sea filled with blindness and stupidity, and could not find Di Ting whose traces were distorted by the complicated source substances.

Cao Yuanchao was indeed able to tear open the fruit with his personal strength, but he was truly unable to complete such a difficult and delicate operation as finding a needle in a haystack.

"Okay, let's move on. In addition to Di Ting, I have also nominated Bi'an and Qingniao as deputies. These two are newcomers who have just joined Yan Zhaohui. It's normal that they may sound unfamiliar to you. Let me introduce them to you."

After Zhao Jianzhong finished speaking, two personal files with important information hidden were projected in the center of the venue.

"Bi'an? The one who took the inheritance trial with the difficulty level of Jia, Longzi, as his substitute? Isn't he a recycler of the Special Talents Headquarters? If he was carrying out the recycling mission step by step, there would be no reason for him to be suddenly detained."

"Who is Bluebird? Why does it sound so familiar to me?"

"Have you forgotten? Her father is the Lord of Nanyu [Yuanchu]. She entered Yanfu more than a year ago. If you really count, she and [Tianwu] are classmates."

Qin Huai's eyes moved, and [Yuanchu] was sitting in front of him. He was a middle-aged man with a full forehead and a righteous face.

"Bi'an is a recycler on Yan Zhaohui's special talent list. His main responsibility is to use his own talents and inheritance to detain and seal dangerous goods with a strength not exceeding medium. This time he was unfortunately stranded. Tracing back to the source, it can actually be said to be a misunderstanding."

"Five days ago, Bi'an was supposed to carry out the normal task of collecting the medium-intensity dangerous goods in the [Mao·Wuwu 184] fruit that were out of control and causing endless harm due to the return of the agent to Jambu, but somehow something went wrong. The powerful indigenous people who came later determined that he was the culprit who released the medium-intensity dangerous goods and caused the suffering of all living beings, and they attacked him on the spot. In order to protect himself, Bi'an had no choice but to release a few evil demons imprisoned in his body to attract attention. The final result was that the water was indeed muddied, and he did run away, but the indigenous people of the fruit were chasing him all over the world. The situation can't be said to be worse, but it's not much better either."

As soon as Zhao Jianzhong finished speaking, Qin Huai was amused by this nonsensical reason for his detention, and murmured, "Mistakenly identifying the culprit, a scapegoat? This Bi'an is really an unlucky guy."

At the same time, the ghost lord Su Ling, who was sitting at a seat, couldn't help but chuckled, then lowered his head to play with his pen cap.

Many people present had inexplicable looks on their faces, with strange expressions, as if they were marveling at Bi'an's amazing luck.

Zhao Jianzhong said: "Although Bi'an's situation is not too critical, there are several deputies in Yan Zhaohui who can temporarily take over the relevant duties, but for the future development of special talents, it is naturally better to rescue him as soon as possible."

"Of course, my words alone don't count. I won't say anything corny. Some kids think I'm talking nonsense after hearing what I say. But I attach great importance to special talents. Several Yama Lords, as well as Wuwei Sanzang and Buyang, have also fully affirmed the priority of special talents. Now, you can vote."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the first seat raised their hands almost in unison, and many of those in the second seat also expressed their opinions.

Just as Zhao Jianzhong said, most people in Yan Zhaohui had a very clear attitude towards keeping Bi'an on the list. Even if Bi'an's name was not on the list this time, his rescue would be given priority in subsequent public salvage operations.

"As for the bluebird, [Pianchu], you are an old man of the Yamafu, and you also own the fruit [Nanyu], so you should stand up and speak for yourself."

After taking a look at the [Puanchu] who was as still as a mountain, Zhao Jianzhong said a few words and then sat down and said no more.

"Hello everyone, hello little brother Qin, I am Tan Song, acting on behalf of [Yuan Chu]."

Tan Song stood up, nodded to everyone, then turned around and greeted Qin Huai.

"In fact, most of you who are sitting here know that [Bluebird] Tan Nanzhi is my daughter. I asked the old man to nominate her for the salvage list this time, and I did not have any other thoughts. As a father, I simply wanted to save her from danger."

Tan Song opened his hands and said solemnly, "Half a month ago, Nanzhi suddenly lost contact while conducting the continuous Yanfu event exclusive to the Blue Bird inheritance. At that time, my daughter went to a fruit that was recently developed by Yan Zhaohui. It was explored by Lord Luo three months ago. It is currently temporarily named [Luo·Dingmao 425]. The energy level is very high. There are many hidden dragons and crouching tigers among the natives. There may be immortals above the six divisions. These days, I led the [Hundred Bird Soldiers] under my command to run in that fruit, trying to find the Penglai Immortal Mountain that is closely related to my daughter's inheritance but suddenly disappeared. But until today's trial, I still only have a picture of the immortal mountain that I accidentally got from the demon painter, which is barely related to Penglai. Apart from that, there is little useful information, and it is difficult to find Nanzhi's trace based on this alone."

"I know that Nanzhi is not as good as the others on the list in terms of value, qualifications, and ability, but Brother Qin, I can promise you that as long as you help me rescue my daughter, I can give you all the ticket revenue of [Nanyu] for three months, and all the points collected by then will belong to you."

As soon as these words were spoken, apart from the two representatives present, even many of the six high-ranking gods were surprised at Tan Song's generosity this time.

"The father was willing to sacrifice everything to save his daughter. There is nothing to say about that. As for your choices, I fully understand and respect them. Thank you."

After saying that, Tan Song simply sat down, seemingly not caring about the voting results.

In the next forty minutes, the seventy-nine representatives expressed their opinions on the priority of the remaining few stranded ones, and Houtu recorded them one by one.

When the votes for [犼] nominated by Ghost Lord Su Ling were counted, Hou Tu took her little notebook and said leisurely, "OK, the vote counting is over. There are 79 voters in total. I will read out the votes now."

"Qiangliang, seventy-three votes in favor, six abstentions."

Cao Yuanchao leaned back in his chair with his arms folded, his face expressionless.

"Listen carefully. Sixty-seven votes in favor, ten abstentions, and two against."

"Bi'an, forty-one votes in favor, twenty-eight abstentions, and ten votes against."

Zhao Jianzhong nodded slightly.

"Dragon Subduing Arhat, thirty-eight votes in favor, thirty abstentions, and eleven votes against."

The old monk in gray, Fearless Sanzang, smiled.

"Big Crab, thirty votes in favor, thirty-six abstentions, and thirteen votes against."

Zhan Yuejin put down the paper cup in his hand.

Hou Tu read out the following sentences: "Hou, nineteen votes in favor, forty-nine abstentions, and eleven votes against."

After a pause, Hou Tu continued: "Blue Bird, thirteen votes in favor, fifty votes abstaining, and sixteen votes against."

Hou Tu raised her head and said, "After consideration by all ten masters, the White Ape, Big Crab, Blue Bird, and Hou have been disqualified from the preliminary selection. The final candidates on the expedited salvage list are Qiang Liang, Di Ting, Bi An, and Jiang Long Luo Han."
-
After the meeting, Qin Huai watched the many second-seat representatives leave one after another, leaving only the seven Yama Lords and three high-ranking officials with special identities, Si Wenji, Wuwei Sanzang, and Bu Yang, to act as deputies.

"Big guy, I've made a list for you. Take advantage of the joyous atmosphere of your wedding and work overtime to fish them all out." Qin Huai took the urgent salvage list thrown by Hou Tu, and suddenly felt like being notified by his leader that KPI performance would be assessed at the end of the year.

"Lord Hou Tu, I have the will but not the strength."

"Don't be ridiculous. I know the changes of [Spiritual Wandering] best besides you."

Feeling the sanitary ball thrown by Houtu, Qin Huai laughed twice and did not refute.

While the two were talking, Zhu Jiuyin stood up and walked slowly to Xiang Hongying's side. He pulled out a festive but not gaudy red envelope from his Tang suit sleeve with his rough hands, stuffed it into her hand, pointed at Qin Huai and said:
"Girl, remember to have a baby with him soon and stay together forever~"

"Thank you, thank you."

After saying this, Zhu Jiuyin, who was famous for his fierce power in the world, didn't care about the other ten masters. He just nodded, pushed Hongying, who wanted to get up, back to her seat, and left the venue with his hands behind his back.

"I'm back to my senses. Brother Nine didn't mean anything else. It was just a little blessing."

Qin An, who had leisurely put away the tea set on the table, snapped his fingers and called back Qin Huai, who was in a daze.

"Oh, sorry to have made you laugh."

"When a corpse dies, a dragon appears; when the abyss is silent, thunder roars; when a god moves, the sky follows."

Zhan Yuejin raised the paper cup in his hand, looked at Qin Huai and said, "It's a good thing that you can undergo the cleansing of heaven's principles and further develop your own talents before the inheritance trial. However, in your current state, it is easy to be affected by the outside world and fall into unconscious distraction and daze. You must pay more attention in the future, and don't let the divergence of your inner vision delay your work."

"You also know the principles of heaven?"

Qin Huai frowned slightly, feeling a little surprised.

"Of course, the ultimate happiness is to respond to it with human affairs first and follow the principles of heaven. To put it simply, the principles of heaven are the way of heaven. You can also call it the law of nature, the three thousand great ways, etc. At its root, they are all the essence of Yama."

Zhan Yuejin took a sip from the paper cup.

"What does Teacher Zhan mean, Yicai?"

"Yes, not all."

Zhao Jianzhong shook his head and lightly tapped the cane in his hand, and an internal reference appeared in front of Qin Huai.

"Colorful is all the developed skills that are meaningful in the real context. It is a deeper and more subtle emphasis and application under the material conditions created by Yanfu. Beyond 100% of the specialization is colorful. The 'intention' that the living beings comprehend from the specialization is also colorful. Walking to improve the research on one's own inherited magical powers is even more colorful."

"Just as you saw in Bodhidharma's Thus Heard, the combination of overflowing colors and thoughts of the ordinary world becomes [reality], the reality among the unreal and the real - the most authentic thing in the universe."

Every word Zhao Jianzhong said was precious and Qin Huai had no difficulty listening to him. However, due to the limitations of his current status, he still could not fully understand the meaning of the Lord's words.

"What about the things that were wiped by the power of the mortal world? Where will those things that were stripped and eroded by the power of the mortal world go?"

"Nature returns to nothing, just as it was at the beginning."

Su Ling, dressed in a white coat, spread his hands.

"And what of the overflowing colors that make them up?"

"My understanding is that where you come from is where you go back to. Sifan is the virtual among the real and the virtual, and Yanfu is the real among the real and the virtual. Yicai + virtual = real, virtual + real = virtual. The destination of Yicai is self-evident."

Formulas appeared in front of Su Ling's eyes, but he immediately changed the subject and said, "Just like the reincarnation of fruits, the birth and death of Yicai should also have a pattern. But unfortunately, based on the phenomena and data I have observed so far, it is difficult for me to make a conclusion that can stand the test of scrutiny."

"The truth is simple. In my opinion, the coming and going of colorful things is not that complicated."

Cao Yuanchao, who had been silent all the time, became interested when he saw everyone discussing. He drew a circle in front of him with his hand.

"Take the melee expertise that walkers generally have as an example. 100% expertise represents the entire circle, and 101% means breaking through a point on the edge. Breaking through every point thereafter, no matter which direction you break through, there is a whole new world outside."

Cao Yuanchao looked up at Qin Huai and tapped the circle in front of him: "Do you think that even if everyone is 101% specialized, will everyone's understanding be the same?"

"Basically not. The possibility of complete overlap is too small."

Qin Huai understood what Cao Yuanchao meant and responded immediately.

"Yes, but if you have 150% specialization and 101% specialization, it will be like this. There will always be overlaps."

Cao Yuanchao nodded, and an irregular polygon that was larger than the previous circle suddenly appeared, overlapping with the circle with only a small bulge, revealing a shadow that was obviously darker in color.

"This part is his unique understanding, but it is also his. Don't you think that these two skills that exceed 100% expertise are brilliant?"

"this."

Qin Huai was speechless for a moment, his intuition told him that this part was still brilliant, but the scene where Li Shuwen passed on the ultimate meaning of the spear to him at the cost of shattering the courage of his spear came to his mind vividly, as if denying the answer he was about to blurt out.

"The birth of Yicai is neither about building blocks nor grabbing patents. Everyone has their own understanding, and no one can say it is wrong. Yuan Chao's vision is too high. If you have a preconceived idea and take it as a criterion, you will end up with only a superficial understanding and not understanding the connotation. I am afraid you will suffer a great loss in the future."

Zhao Jianzhong spoke briefly and pointed two fingers at Qin Huai: "Let's not talk about these secrets of the world that are too far away from you. Just now, when I asked you if you had anything else to say, you looked like you wanted to say more. You said no, but you definitely did in your heart."

"Now that we are the only ones left, tell me what you think about the salvage incident."
