When Zhang Yu heard what Taoist Wan Ming said, his eyes moved slightly and asked: "Why do you say that?"
Taoist Wan Ming said: "Does Xuan Zheng know the Creator?"
Zhang Yudao: "I know that I am the dean of Kaiyang Academy, and there are two creators around me. There are many similar creators in the academy."
Taoist Wan Ming nodded and said: "Most of these creators are not a problem, because they are alerted by people as soon as they appear, and they have many shackles on their bodies, and identification objects are added to conspicuous parts. The trouble is, there are dozens of them.
The batch from years ago.”
Zhang Yudao: "Fellow Taoist Wan Ming can explain it more clearly."
Wan Mingdao said: "The creators we see today seem to have many flaws, but in fact, the skills of the creators were already very mature in the Tianji Department more than sixty years ago.
They can live like humans, grow like humans, and even practice Taoism like humans. Except that they cannot reproduce, they actually don't look much different from humans.
I don't know why the Ministry of Secrets created these creators at that time. Originally, these people were strictly controlled. Each one was recorded in documents and destroyed regularly. However, after the arrival of the turbid tide, things changed.
…”
Zhang Yu listened carefully, and he could feel that what Wan Ming wanted to talk about this time was not just about Hui Yuanwu himself, but involved deeper secrets.
Taoist Wan Ming continued, "When the turbid tide first came, the big green banyan tree that protected us had not yet been erected, and there was no protection in the continent. In addition, there were some internal disturbances, which caused heavy casualties in both houses.
Even many of the main generals and important personnel died, and it is said that there are also some high-level officials from the two governments.
Because this affected morale very much, Li Zhu, the master craftsman of the Ministry of Secrets, put forward a suggestion at that time, which was to replace these people with some creators to stabilize people's hearts, and then try to destroy them later. At that time, the higher-ups adopted this idea..."
Zhang Yu had a second thought. With Tianxia's system, if an important person dies, another person will immediately take over. Although ability and prestige are also factors that need to be considered, generally speaking, no one is really
Irreplaceable.
He didn't know how Wan Ming knew about this, but if this plan was really approved by the higher-ups, there must be other reasons behind it, and I'm afraid it's not as simple as what he said.
He said: "Did this plan go wrong later?"
Taoist Wan Ming looked at him and said: "Li Zhu disappeared mysteriously before the end of the war, and all the records and documents could not be found, and no one even mentioned this matter again.
If the matter ends here, then that's it, but we still don't know if this plan has been stopped."
Above the wilderness, a strong wind suddenly blew up, and countless sand and stones flew up, making a crackling sound. However, when they reached the two of them, they were all repulsed by the light of their hearts.
Zhang Yu thought for a while, then broke the silence and asked: "Then what does this matter have to do with fellow Taoist Hui?"
Taoist Wan Ming said in a deep voice: "What we did just now is actually not the first time that the Tianji Department has done it. Before the arrival of the turbid tide, they had a very secret plan, which was to send creators to both the continent and the outside world.
For babies and children, let them integrate into different groups, and observe and record their changes to further improve the Creator.
Although this plan was opposed by many people at the time and was shelved on the surface, in fact, some people were secretly advancing it for some purpose.
The period of more than fifty years was when all the sects were prosperous, because most of the schools turned to provide talents to the two palaces, which resulted in each Taoist sect having to search for disciples on its own.
Generally, in addition to looking for disciples, they are war orphans, or adopt some children of unknown origin.
At that time, Daqingrong had not been established for a long time, and the situation in the continent had just stabilized. There were also many casualties in the population. The origins of many people could not be identified at all. But now, no one can figure out who the monks are today.
He is a real human being, and who is the creator?"
At this moment, Zhang Yu suddenly thought of what Zhu Xuanshou said to him at that time.
"They can't be trusted."
If this is what Zhu Xuan was referring to, then it would make sense.
But if Zhu Xuanshou knew the cause, why didn't he come out to stop it? But when he thought about it carefully, he couldn't help but have a guess in his mind.
He looked at Taoist Wanming and said, "Is Taoist Wanming afraid of these creators?"
Taoist Wan Ming said solemnly: "That's right! Although their appearance is the same as ours, even their growth and aging process is the same as ours, and their consciousness and thoughts are not much different, but they are a kind of creation after all. Who knows what those creations are?
Do the people who created them have any means to control them?
If there is a person or an organization that can do such a thing, then the entire Qingyang Shangzhou will probably fall under his control, or maybe such a thing has already happened, but we are not aware of it yet."
Zhang Yu's eyes flashed, if all this is true as Wan Ming said, then it is indeed possible for this kind of thing to happen.
He knew very well that no matter what the original intentions of the people who came up with these plans were, when things developed to a certain extent, they would be pushed forward by a spontaneous force, and it would be difficult to stop.
He thought for a while and asked: "I would like to ask, fellow Taoist Wanming, where did you know this? How did you identify that fellow Taoist Hui was the creator? And how did you prove it yourself?
"
Taoist Wan Ming nodded and said: "Xuanzheng asked well. In Qingyang Shangzhou now, we really can't tell the origin of a certain person from his appearance, but I know that there is a kind of person who will definitely not be the creator."
.”
Zhang Yudao: "I wonder what kind of person he is?"
Taoist Wan Ming looked at him and said solemnly: "It's a person who is parasitized by nightmares or parasites!
Even if the creators look like us, they are only creations after all, not real humans. Nightmares and parasites are not interested in them, so anyone who is infected or can attract parasites and nightmares will not be a creation.
people."
When he said this, he took out a thin sheet with countless pores from his sleeve.
Zhang Yu asked: "What is this?"
Taoist Wan Ming said: "The nightmare is invisible, but the parasite is tangible. We created this thing by imitating the infection and changes of the parasite. As long as someone carries this thing with him, over time, if this
If the object has not changed at all, then the person behind it is probably the creator.
Zhang Yu thought for a moment and asked, "Why can't they all be sure?"
Taoist Wan Ming replied: "Because some people who have been infected by parasites will not be affected by this. As for those who have been infected by nightmares, we have no way of judging them yet."
He wiped the thin slice twice with his fingers, "When I recruited people before, I left this thing on everyone on the pretext that it was a token. At that time, I found a few creators, and
Hui Yuanwu is one of them."
He took a breath and said, "I have been trying to find the strength to fight against the creator, so I cannot keep such people around, and I must try my best to eliminate these hidden dangers that may leak information."
Zhang Yudao: "Then how do you know this?"
Taoist Wan Ming admitted frankly: "Some of them were discovered by me myself over the years. Some of the more secretive things were told to me by a master craftsman who defected from the Tianji Department in Zhouzhong. He is still on the wanted list."
Above that, I can find a convenient time to take Xuan Zheng to see this person."
Zhang Yu looked at him and said: "My fellow Taoist told me this, aren't you afraid that I am the creator?"
Taoist Wan Ming admitted frankly: "I did have doubts about Xuan Zheng, which is why I didn't trust Xuan Zheng before. Even if Xuan Zheng returned from overseas, who can tell whether you have been replaced by someone else?
?Fellow Taoist Qi Yu once persuaded me to come to Xuanzheng before, but I still dare not make this bet. I would rather do things in my own way."
Zhang Yudao: "Then why are you looking for me again now?"
Taoist Wan Ming said seriously: "Because of the Qingyang Wheel, I saw Xuanzheng driving the Qingyang Wheel within the boundary gap before, so I knew that Xuanzheng would never be a creator."
He paused and then said: "The Qingyang Wheel is the most precious treasure of Qingyang Xuanfu, and it was also a magic weapon given by Xuanting to suppress Yizhou. If the master is not from Tianxia, he will not get it.
I admit it, and the Tianxia people here are the Tianxia people that Qingyang Lun thinks, Xuan Zheng must understand."
Zhang Yu understood what he meant. When he was in the Dongting Protectorate, no matter what his origins were, as long as you agreed with Tianxia from the bottom of your heart, and were recognized by the government and had a registered person, then it would naturally be considered a person.
Tianxia people. However, it takes a long time for the Qingyang Wheel to become a treasure. The Tianxia people considered by this treasure may only be pure-blooded Tianxia people.
Well, not to mention things like creators, even some mixed-race descendants would not be taken seriously by them.
He looked at Taoist Wanming and said: "I still have a question here. I received an edict from Xuanting to confer Xuanzheng. Why does Taoist Wanming not believe in Xuanting, but instead believes in Qingyang Wheel?"
Taoist Wan Ming shook his head and said: "Xuan Ting's imperial edict has not appeared for a long time, and I have never seen Xuan Zheng's appointment with my own eyes. Besides, it may not be fake, so I have always had doubts about it. In fact, I don't want to
So, no matter how the situation is, I have to be more careful, and I hope Xuanzheng will forgive me." After saying that, he also raised his hands apologetically.
Zhang nodded slightly and said: "Fellow Taoist tried to occupy the boundary gap before. Is this also for this reason?"
Wan Mingdao said: "Exactly, if things really come to that worst stage, I think it will be difficult to recover with my own strength. But if we can grasp a gap in the world, we can try to communicate with other continents and use other continents to
Use your strength to solve the problems within the continent!"
