Who let him join the Sword Sect!

Chapter 332: Corruption virus, Master is dead?
After receiving the notification from Fu Ji, Lily and Chen Qin used the teleportation array (which Lily had secretly dug) and returned to Qianji Pavilion in no time.

But when I arrived at the place that Fu Ji mentioned, I found that the atmosphere was a little wrong.

Old Tang sat down on the ground with a look of grievance, supporting herself with one hand and covering her face with the other, looking like an angry old lady.

Chen Qin's mother, Ms. Mo, stood aside innocently, holding the branch-like sword Jiu Ke in her hand, looking up at the wet cave ceiling.

"What's going on?" Lily asked.

"Master Dao was beaten by Aunt Mo." Fu Ji replied.

"Mom, why did you hit me?" Chen Qin looked at her mother.

However, the one who answered her was not Mo Jingchun, but the sealed fragment of the Human Emperor Flag.

A burst of laughter rang out from the debris, and the voice of "Old Tang" came from inside.

"Of course I'm jealous. I'm jealous that this Taoist master has glimpsed the great Dao, I'm jealous that this Taoist master has found immortality! You stinky bitch!"

The real Old Tang felt even more aggrieved when he heard the voice coming from the Human Emperor Flag. He looked at Mo Jingchun and said, "He's barking like a dog, so why are you hitting me?"

"Hehehe, because I am you, you are me, come on, come in..."

There was another burst of strange laughter from the Human Emperor Flag.

"Alright, alright. I just hit you with this branch. You're already old, and you're not ashamed to act in front of my daughter."

After Mo Jingchun finished speaking, when the 'Old Tang' in the Emperor's flag was about to say something rude again, he stretched out his finger and pointed, sending out a stream of clear air to wrap up the fragments of the Emperor's flag, and the voice of the other Old Tang also stopped abruptly.

"After Fu Ji brought this thing over, Dao Ye couldn't help but feel a little anxious. Seeing that the Human Emperor Flag had stopped moving, he went up to touch it. Then the fragment shook a little, and finally it became like this."

Mo Jingchun looked at his daughter and explained, "At the time, I thought Old Tang had been bewildered by the Human Emperor Flag, so I used this calming branch to gently whip him."

"Are you saying that half of Dao Ye's soul has been drawn into this Human Emperor Flag?"

Lily was so timid that she stayed away from the fragment of the Human Emperor's flag.

"Not really." Having had enough, Old Tang got up from the ground, dusted off his Taoist robe and said, "I don't know the specific reason, but if I were to tell you how I felt, it was like I just looked in a mirror."

"Mirror?" Lily didn't understand.

"Yes, it's a mirror, but the person in the mirror moves on his own and even curses," said Old Tang.

"You mean, although this fragment of the Human Emperor's flag no longer has the power to bewitch people, as long as you touch it, a shadow will be created.

"It's just that this 'shadow' can only exist in the Human Emperor Flag. Although it can communicate with the outside world, it can't leave?" Lily raised her hand and concluded.

"That's about what I mean." Old Tang nodded.

"So what should we do now? Should we chat with 'Old Tang' in the flag and ask him what's going on inside?" Lily asked.

"No way. I've already tried. That 'me' is just a lunatic, capable of nothing more than swearing." Old Tang chuckled, somewhat speechless. "I came to you, girl, to ask if you have any tricks to kill that me. After all, it's always going to be troublesome to keep me in there."

Lily pondered for a moment and then said, "Don't tell me, I might actually have a solution."

"What method?" asked Old Tang.

"Blow it up." Lily said without hesitation.

Old Tang, “.”

After Lily finished speaking, everyone looked at her with strange expressions. Although there was nothing wrong with this method, it was a little too Lily.

But what she said seemed to make some sense. The chaotic sounds originally contained in this fragment were all eliminated in the explosion caused by Lily and Fu Ji's failed experiment.

Just looking at the current state of the fragments, they should not be able to withstand a second explosion.

This special specimen was hard to come by, and it would be a shame to destroy it.

After coming up with the bad idea, Lily saw that no one said anything, so she calmed down and ran to the side obediently, pretending to think of a solution, but in fact she was calculating the equivalent in her mind.

The junior sister suddenly had an idea and raised her hand.

"Since the Human Emperor Flag and the core of the Jade Book Illusion are essentially the same thing, can we use the same method we used against the Jade Book Tower to deal with this fragment and the fake Taoist within it?"

"What do you mean?" Mo Jingchun looked at his daughter.

"When I entered the Jade Book Illusion for the second time, I checked with my senior brother. When smoke was coming out of the Jade Book Building and it was about to catch fire, my senior brother was riding a flying boat in the illusion." Chen Qin replied.

"Senior Brother speculates that the Jade Book Tower is experiencing problems because the speed at which the illusions within it are being constructed and evolved has exceeded its limits."

"Brother, what did you say that? Let me think about it. Oh, yes, it's called overclocking failure, system freeze, automatic shutdown, formatting and restart.

"So, if we want to kill the Dao Master in this fragment, we just need to overclock the system again and make it shut down automatically."

Lily shook her head after hearing this, "That's true, but this thing is obviously broken, otherwise it wouldn't indiscriminately copy anyone who touches it.

"Now I guess even with the Jade Book Tower's magic circle, I can't control this thing. If you can't control it, how can you make it click?"

"It's formatting." Chen Qin corrected.

"Whatever, these are just words made up by the boss anyway, so I say, we should just blow this thing up.

"I didn't blow it up enough last time... I mean, this is a rare opportunity, so collecting some data is kind of a waste utilization."

Lily continued in a sneaky tone.

Chen Qin thought about it and realized that there really was no way to control this thing.

She looked at her mother and said, "How about we just blast Lily for fun during this short period? We still have plenty anyway."

Lily nodded frantically.

Just as Old Tang and Mo Jingchun were about to approve it, Fu Ji, who had been quietly eating mushrooms on the side, suddenly said, "Maybe I have a solution."

Lily turned her head and pouted, looking at the troublemaker with unhappiness.

Fu Ji ignored Lily. She moved to the side of the Human Emperor's flag and asked Mo Jingchun to remove the magic circle.

After the magic circle disappeared, Fu Ji placed her hand on the fragment of the Human Emperor's flag.

After the ban was lifted, 'Old Tang' in the Human Emperor's flag began to nag again, but before he could finish a few words, a burst of laughter suddenly rang out, drowning out the strange cries of 'Old Tang' in the flag.

It was the laughter of fujoshi, the laughter of a large number of fujoshi.

As a fairy fungus of the Harmony Gate, theoretically speaking, each split and recombination of Fu Ji can be regarded as a new individual, except that these independent new individuals share the same memory and have almost the same Harmony Gate brain circuits.

Therefore, as long as Fu Ji wanted, she could cast countless "shadows" into this small fragment by herself.

Moreover, these "Shadow Corrupted Princesses" are not affected by the Human Emperor's Flag, and can also split and reorganize infinitely in it.

If the Emperor's Flag were a computer, then Fuji would be the most ridiculous computer virus, capable of overwhelming the Emperor's Flag's memory in a matter of minutes.

Although everyone didn't know what was happening in the fragments at this time, the sound was very chaotic.

"Wow, everyone come quickly, it's a fake Taoist!"

"It's true! Come and see, come and see! The fake Taoist priest has no face, just like a shadow!"

"Ah! Move aside, don't step on my feet! I want to see too!"

At first, 'Old Tang' in the flag could still squeak occasionally, but soon his exclamations were completely drowned out.

Fuji's voice drowned out everything else, echoing through the fragments like waves, and due to the damage to the fragments' functions, it spread outward...

Hearing the squeaking sounds coming from inside the Human Emperor Flag, Lily covered her ears.

She felt that this sound was no less spiritually polluting than the previous Human Emperor Flag.

Fortunately, these sounds did not last long, and the memory of this broken fragment of the Human Emperor Flag was quickly blown up by the "Corruption Princess Virus".

Without any warning, all the sounds in the fragments disappeared.

Fu Ji loosened her grip on the fragment and turned around to give Lily a thumbs-up.

"I must be awesome."

Lily: "…"

Lily, who was still unwilling to give up, was very unhappy. She hummed casually, and then, in full view of everyone, she quietly took two steps forward, tripped herself in a very pretentious manner, and fell towards the fragments of the Human Emperor's flag, hoping to cause some more trouble.

Chen Qin turned to look at her mother and whispered, "Aren't you going to stop her?"

"Aren't you curious about what Lily's shadow looks like in the Human Emperor Flag?" Mo Jingchun glanced at his daughter.

Chen Qin thought so too, and then the mother and daughter did the same thing, standing aside with their hands in their pockets, watching Lily play quietly.

The same is true for Old Tang.

However, when Lily touched the Human Emperor Flag with her clumsy slow-motion acting skills, nothing happened.

"broken?"

Lily clapped twice more.

Fu Ji tilted her head and looked at Lily, then stretched out her hand.

Soon, Fu Ji's voice was heard from the Human Emperor's flag.

"Oh my god! It's so dark in there!"

Lily frowned. Unconvinced, she clutched the fragments of the Emperor's flag with both hands and shouted, "Oi! Listen, Lily inside! You're surrounded. If you don't want to die, just squeak."

However, there was only Fu Ji's voice inside.

"There's no Lily, there's only Fuji in here, you knocked on the wrong door!"

Over at the Jade Book Tower.

The giant turtle Zhuluo has been staying at the Yushu Tower for a while, helping to cool down the building and chatting with him.

The two of them are old acquaintances, and they have a lot to talk about the past.

However, this is mostly one-sided.

The giant turtle chasing Luo was probably the reason why the old man rarely had anyone to accompany him. He talked a lot recently. He often said hundreds of sentences before Yu Shulou made a sound to prove that he was not dead.

It feels like listening to crosstalk in an ICU, and you just laugh as long as you're not dead.

"Do you remember that peach tree from back then? The one in the capital that became a spirit? She always..."

The giant turtle Zhu Luo was muttering, but he was only halfway through his words when he suddenly felt something was wrong. Logically, it should be the turn of the Jade Book Tower to make a sound, but all he could hear in his ears was a buzzing vibration and the sound of rushing water.

The giant turtle Zhuluo tilted his head and listened quietly. After a moment, he quickly transformed into a dragon and began to carry out emergency rescue of the Jade Book Tower.

The state of Yushulou at this time can only be described as on the verge of collapse.

Of course, the prerequisite is that the spirit of the weapon can breathe.

——The dividing line that Yushulou needs to wash off——

In the illusion, Zhang Ze was sitting cross-legged on a cushion. He looked much sloppier, with disheveled hair and red eyes, and he looked somewhat crazy.

He touched his waist with one hand and made finger gestures with the other. In the furnace in front of him, a long metal pole was floating in it. Purple air was flowing in the furnace, carving rune patterns on it.

Not until the purple energy in the furnace was exhausted and the last array symbol was engraved did Zhang Ze breathe a sigh of relief and reached out to take out the long metal rod.

He looked around and after making sure that the magic weapon was fine, he flipped his palm and scattered dozens of pearls on the ground.

The pearly light flowed, temporarily obscuring the world.

After taking precautions, the long pole in his hand changed, gradually turning into gold, becoming hollow in the middle and turning into a tube.

Zhang Ze hummed as he looked at the tube in his hand, touched his waist, and took out a Gu pill.

In an instant, the whispers and fluctuations in the Human Emperor's flag began to vent, but they were all blocked by the scattered pearls.

Zhang Ze crushed the Gu Pill with force, and the Human Emperor Flag appeared in his hand.

With quick hands and eyes, he grabbed the Human Emperor Flag before it could escape, and then inserted it steadily and accurately into the tube he had made.

Then, the first time I pushed it in, it didn’t go in.

"Hmm? So tight?"

Zhang Ze tried hard, but only managed to push the head in.

The long pole he had forged seemed a little tighter.

"Just be tight. The first time is new, the second time is familiar. One more time will be just right."

As soon as he thought of it, an oil bottle flew over from the corner. The spout of the bottle tilted and poured the magical oil into the joint.

Zhang Ze used both hands to exert force again, and the Human Emperor flag was forced in.

As the Human Emperor's flag was pushed into the tube, its torturous noise finally stopped.

Feeling the tranquility around him, Zhang Ze sighed.

"Five years, five years, I finally got the kidney stones removed."

Under Yu Shulou's desperate efforts, the time in the illusion was accelerated several times.

Five years have passed in the illusion, but only half a day has passed in the outside world.

In the past five years, Zhang Ze has not left Baiyu County at all, and has been studying the art of refining weapons.

And then I actually learned...

The main thing is that people need to be pushed. Before, when Zhang Ze encountered problems with refining equipment or formations, he was in a state of giving up thinking and letting his brain take over.

Whenever I'm undecided, I always call Lily, or when I'm still undecided, I call Old Tang.

This time, without Old Tang on his back and Lily in his pocket, Zhang Ze suddenly discovered that he still had the ability to walk independently.

This array formation refining weapon doesn't seem difficult either. I didn't know how to do it before, maybe it was just because I was lazy...

After holding the Human Emperor Flag that was inserted into the sealed tube in his hand, Zhang Ze was sure that he was truly a genius.

Then he called up his own system and looked at the empty system interface and asked softly.

"Confess and be lenient; resist and be strict. What does the Emperor's flag have to do with you?"

He had not forgotten that his original intention of entering this illusion was not to find out his past life, but to find out the origin of the system.

However, Tongzi remained silent, pretending to hear nothing.

After Zhang Ze entered the illusion, Tongzi was as if dead except for the two beeps at the beginning to remind him to find the diary.

Don't disturb Zhang Ze and don't respond to Zhang Ze's requests.

Finally, probably because they were tired of being harassed, all the interfaces of Tongzi started to spin as if there was no network card, and they could not be opened.

Only the clock in the corner of the interface was functioning normally, recording the time outside for him.

It seemed to be reminding Zhang Ze that you just had a very long dream, and nothing has changed outside the illusion.

"Don't pretend to be an expert by keeping silent. I know you can hear me. Just squeak." Zhang Ze continued to ask.

But after waiting for a long time, Tongzi still did not respond.

Zhang Ze sighed, turned off the system that was pretending to be dead, took back the pearls on the ground, and continued to play with the tube in his hand.

During the five years in the illusion, he had been analyzing the Human Emperor Flag, and in the process, he discovered something incredible.

That is, many of the Dongqi immortal cultivation technologies that were lost in later generations may be related to the Human Emperor Flag.

Dong Qi's sword spirit technology, the illusion of the Jade Book Tower, his Xuanjian treasure mirror, the iterative space storage technique, etc. are all inextricably linked to the formation runes on the surface of the Human Emperor Flag.

It is not difficult to analyze the rune formations on the surface of the Human Emperor Flag. The difficulty lies in the fact that this broken flag is an evil object that drives most people crazy when they touch it.

Even if he is not crazy, he will be bewitched by it and want to become a brother in the Human Emperor's flag.

After discovering this incident, Zhang Ze drew up a rough timeline.

During the Ten Kingdoms period, he analyzed part of the formation of the Human Emperor Flag.

After the establishment of the Eastern Qi Kingdom, these technologies were handed over.

Relying on the technology obtained from the Human Emperor Flag, Dong Qi stepped on his left foot with his right foot, took off on the spot, and unified Dongzhou for thousands of years.

Until the most glorious period, there came a last emperor named Dabao. This hanged man single-handedly destroyed the entire foundation of Dongqi and also filled Zhongzhou with it.

The amazing operation of this last imperial city is inextricably linked to the flag of the Human Emperor.

Everything is like a circle...

"But if this assumption is true, then the question is, where am I?"

Zhang Ze turned the tube in his hand that sealed the Human Emperor, and was puzzled at this moment.

Logically speaking, if his achievements didn't earn him the title of Iron-Hatted King, where his kingdom would last forever, then he should at least be called the world's number one weapon-refining master, the ultimate master.

But why is there no information about me in history?

It can't be that because I told Xiao Qingyun the story of Xuanwu Gate, he killed me while he was messing around, and then activated the history books to erase my name from history...

Damn, it's not impossible...

But let’s not talk about this first. Why did I come back to life later?

What's up with that ancestor of Longhu Mountain? Why would he steal from a dead person like me?
And what about this second-hand system?

After discovering the secret of the Human Emperor Flag, he always felt that his system trial space, which was full of loopholes and bugs, was about 70% similar to the illusion inside the Human Emperor Flag.

Just as Zhang Ze was playing with the tube containing the Human Emperor Flag in his hand and was about to torture the system again, the door was pushed open from the outside.

The girl, who had already changed from Fragrant Concubine to Xiangxiang, limped in through the wind and snow. He pulled Zhang Ze and said anxiously, "Stop playing with your pipe and follow me!"

Zhang Ze, "..."

Zhang Ze stood up and brushed off the snow on Xiangxiang's body. "I'm not playing with the pipe. This thing is a treasure. Forget it. What's the matter that's so urgent?"

Xiangxiang, "Your master is dying!"

Zhang Ze, "?"
