The copy of the universe from the journey to the west

Chapter 277: Zhongnan Mountain Underground Palace Incident! (Double monthly tickets! Please give me monthly tickets!)
Niu Wenhou, Yin Tong, Lu Xiuchen...

It can't be such a coincidence, right?

Could it be that the stories in Hulu World have affected the real world?

Lu Chen's heart was boiling, just like Senior Brother Zhinan.

When he first discovered Senior Brother Zhinan’s head… it seemed to correspond to some things in the world of Journey to the West.

But, isn’t the copy of the heavens an imaginary world?
Although there are some historical worlds in it, that is because they are influenced by the thoughts of the real world.

After all, many details cannot completely match the reality.

How did names like 'Lu Xiuchen' and 'Zhi Nan' appear?
Lu Chen always felt that something was wrong in his heart. An inspiration came to his mind, and... Lu Chen felt that the inspiration could definitely explain the reason for the current situation!
It’s nothing, just a spur of the moment!

Gui Zang Compass is activated directly.

However, the Guizang compass was rotating extremely slowly.

It’s even slower than when we were deduce Manjusri!

'Involving the True Flow... or even higher-level existence?'

Lu Chen's heart skipped a beat. How could he be connected with a higher-level being?
"No... I must have heard the reason why this happened somewhere."

Lu Chen felt as if a kitten was scratching his heart.

However, he remained calm and said, "Just now I heard that Mr. Zheng meant to say that an underground palace appeared in Zhongnan Mountain and he needed my help?"

When it came to business, Zheng Faming nodded.

The quarrel between Su Ze and Meng Sili just now came from this.

They invited Lu Chen to go, but because Lu Chen was in seclusion, Su Ze did not allow them to go.

The issues discussed here have already involved some national issues.

Meng Sili said anxiously at this time: "A lot of documents and materials have been leaked from the Zhongnan Mountain Underground Palace. We are in urgent need of manpower."

"Really? If it's just manpower, I'm just one person." Lu Chen said with a smile.

Meng Sili was stunned.

Yes, Lu Chen is just one person after all, how strong can he be?
Until now, he still doesn't know what exactly Lu Chen's strengths are.

innate?

Judging from the fact that even Mr. Zheng, who has completed seven missions, is a strong man in the Innate Realm, there must be a lot of strong people hidden in the headquarters. At least it is not as it seems on the surface, that there is only one master in the Innate Realm, Wang Weiguo, in the whole country.

Why is that?
Meng Sili's head was a little confused.

The poor intelligence information and the fact that Zheng Faming had come to personally invite Lu Chen many times only made him realize that Lu Chen was very important, but why was he important... he knew nothing!
Mudd!

So he was scolded by Su Ze just now, but he didn't even know why he was scolded! ?
Meng Sili turned his head and looked at Zheng Faming.

Beside Lu Chen, Su Ze was also telling him information about Mount Zhongnan: "On the day you were in seclusion, a small earthquake occurred in the Mount Zhongnan area, which caused a mountain to collapse, revealing an ancient passage that went deep into the belly of Mount Zhongnan. It looked like an underground palace complex, so it was officially named the Mount Zhongnan Underground Palace."

"On the night when the underground palace appeared in Mount Zhongnan, colorful clouds rose into the sky, covering an area of ​​100 miles. It took more than a day for them to dissipate."

"Among them, some nearby Chosen Ones and practitioners all had some breakthroughs that day. Some even achieved enlightenment and created very complete cultivation techniques out of thin air. However, they were all below the Innate Realm."

"This news was not concealed. The whole world knew about it the next day. Even the Internet was full of news about the Zhongnan Mountain Underground Palace. They invited you to the Zhongnan Mountain Underground Palace."

"Also..."

While listening to Su Ze's information, Lu Chen took out his mobile phone and watched a short video.

As expected, the hottest topic on the Internet right now is the "Zhongnan Mountain Underground Palace Incident". When I searched for it, without even typing, eight of the following ten hot word searches contained the words "Zhongnan Mountain" or "underground palace".

Although the other two posts are not linked, they seem to be the opinions of some so-called experts and politicians from abroad on the Zhongnan Mountain Underground Palace.

Lu Chen simply clicked on a hot word and took a look.

The first video is a video of colorful clouds flying into the sky like a dragon. It can be seen with the naked eye that when the colorful clouds fly to a certain height, they bloom like fireworks.

Immediately afterwards, the fireworks quickly dyed the blue sky into color like a pool of ink.

If you look closely, the colorful clouds seem to have combined into a series of illusory shadows.

But I'm not sure what those figures are doing.

Looking at the second video, the angle of this video is closer, it seems to be a video of a group of hikers who are having fun on a picnic. Then there is a "boom" sound in the video, accompanied by a burst of noisy screams, and the video becomes chaotic for a moment. It can be seen that the person shooting the video is quite nervous.

After just a few seconds of chaos, the video was focused on the source of the sound. Not far away, a mountain several dozen feet high was slowly collapsing. In the smoke and dust, an ancient gate could be vaguely seen standing tall.

The video ends here, I don’t know if it was cut or for some other reason.

Lu Chen flipped through other videos, including those of the colorful clouds on that day, those after the mountain collapsed, and those of various countries' attitudes towards the Zhongnan Mountain Underground Palace in the later period, as well as those of some marketing accounts that were used to stir up trouble...

After watching more than a dozen videos, Lu Chen opened the Zhutian Dungeon Forum and took a look. He was even more informed about the news of the Chosen Ones.

The news is more accurate than what is on the Internet, and there has even been a war of words between the European and international channels.

However, what surprised Lu Chen was that the ones being besieged were not the Chosen Ones from Great Summer, but the Chosen Ones from South Korea?
Lu Chen opened a hot post out of curiosity and took a look. He saw a Chosen One from South Korea saying, "In ancient times, Mount Zhongnan belonged to our South Korea..."

Lu Chen: “…”

No wonder he was besieged and scolded.

Are you so shameless?

Do you know where Mount Zhongnan is?

Lu Chen did not join in the verbal fight. At this time, he also roughly understood what this underground palace in Zhongnan Mountain was.

"Ancient practitioners? Revival of spiritual energy?"

Lu Chen was in deep thought.

Zheng Faming, who was waiting on the side, nodded slowly when he heard this, then waved his hand. Meng Sili understood and asked all the members of the martial arts department to leave.

Meng Sili had just asked his subordinates to retreat, and when he turned around, he saw Zheng Faming looking at him.

He couldn't help but be stunned, and subconsciously asked: "I want to go out too?"

He is the director of the Donglu Province Martial Arts Bureau.

Zheng Faming pushed up his glasses and said, "Those who are qualified to know the news below...are at the ministerial level first."

"..."

The corners of Meng Sili's mouth twitched.

His level... is indeed a little bit off.

I could only turn around and follow the crowd out.

Zheng Faming turned his head and looked at Su Ze beside Lu Chen.

When Lu Chen was about to say "No thanks", Su Ze had already spoken: "I remember I haven't bought any vegetables yet. I'll go buy them first." Then he walked out the door.

Seeing this, Lu Chen didn't say anything.

Zheng Faming smiled and looked at Lu Chen meaningfully.

Lu Chen looked normal: "Now that everyone has left, Mr. Zheng, you should tell me the information now, right?"

Zheng Faming did not hide anything this time and spoke directly: "What Taoist Lu said about the 'resurrection of spiritual energy' does make some sense. If we look at the information we have now, it is indeed true. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is indeed reviving. We are still studying and verifying the specific level, so we don't have a specific statement yet."

"However, most of the literature outside the underground palace is mainly records and Taoist scriptures, and there is no substantial gain. However, from the analysis of some clues, we can know that in ancient times, there was indeed a group of practitioners..."

At this point, his tone paused, and he looked straight at Lu Chen: "They are practitioners, not the martial arts heroes in the martial arts world, but a group of people who have the same abilities as the reincarnations, can cast spells, and have a long lifespan and practice cultivation."

Lu Chen's feat of flying in the clouds and chopping satellites with one sword is actually more exciting than the records in the literature.

This fucking 'automatic humanoid cannon' cannot even be explained, it can only be summarized as a 'humanoid strategic weapon'.

Lu Chen looked calm and asked, "There is no record of this in the Essays of Taoist Wen Hou, and I don't know what kind of cultivator you are talking about."

Although he had some vague ideas in his mind, he couldn't say them out loud.

Zheng Faming has not yet gained his full trust.

Zheng Faming said: "The Essays of Taoist Wenhou is only one of the thousands of classics in Zhongnan Mountain. Many important materials have been sealed and studied by the headquarters of the Martial Arts Department and cannot be circulated outside. However, it is certain that Niu Wenhou is a cultivator, and his master Yin Tong is also a cultivator, and he is also an inner alchemy cultivator."

"Among them are many contemporary Taoist and Buddhist masters, such as Kou Qianzhi, Wang Daoyi, Lu Xiujing, and even Lu Xiuchen. They are all practitioners, and have gone very far on this path. They can almost be called immortals and gods."

"The most representative of them is Wang Daoyi. Normal Taoist texts record that Wang Daoyi was born in 447 AD and was a disciple of Niu Wenhou. However, the texts in the underground palace of Zhongnan Mountain record that Wang Daoyi had already visited Cao Louguan, the ancestral temple of the early Louguan School, before Yin Tong accepted Niu Wenhou as a disciple. His birth time must have been pushed back at least thirty to fifty years."

Lu Chen nodded slightly without saying anything. Wang Daoyi...isn't he the young Taoist priest he saw in Jiankang City?

Zheng Faming continued, "As for the origin of this underground palace, it can be preliminarily determined that it was jointly established by Wang Daoyi of the Louguan Sect of Mount Zhongnan during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Shangqing Sect, the Sanhuang Sect, and the Northern Tianshi Sect, and the arithmetic master Zu Chongzhi also joined in."

"The interior of the underground palace has not been opened yet, so we don't know what's going on, but the exterior structure is already very complex and extremely tight. When we entered some of the passages, we used supercomputers to decrypt them. So the builders of the outer part of the underground palace are suspected to have mathematical abilities that surpassed that era. Among the discoveries, we also found that in many classics, the early period of that era was given a strange name, called the Great Tribulation of the End of the Dharma."

"The great calamity of the Dharma Ending?" Lu Chen's expression slightly changed: "What is this saying?"

"I don't know."

Zheng Faming shook his head. "In the records of external classics, the introduction to the great catastrophe of the end of the law is extremely rare. Even if there is some introduction, most of them are written in the style of the Spring and Autumn Period, and some are even deliberately altered because the time span is too long and current technology cannot recognize it."

Lu Chen frowned.

Zheng Faming looked at Lu Chen and said slowly: "However, after we have sorted out the truth, we can probably be sure that the Dharma Ending Tribulation is related to two people."

"Who?" Lu Chen raised his eyebrows slightly.

Zheng Faming said: "One is Lu Xiuchen, the elder brother of the Taoist ancestor Lu Xiujing I just mentioned..."

Lu Chen's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he had a vague bad feeling.

"…The other one is Cheng Gongxing, a great mathematician during the Liu Song Dynasty of the Northern and Southern Dynasties and the teacher of Zu Chongzhi!"

Sure enough, without any surprise, it was this old immortal.

Lu Chen appeared calm on the surface, but he was furious in his heart.

Cheng Gongxing, Cheng Gongxing, even if you have lost the slightest bit of your cultivation, you can't stop making trouble!

At this moment, Lu Chen has decided to go to the underground palace in Zhongnan Mountain to take a closer look.

Lu Xiuchen and Cheng Gongxing, these two names appeared together.

If this has nothing to do with the gourd world, Lu Chen would dare to smash Manjusri's head again!

However, even if you go to Mount Zhongnan, you can't just go there rashly. You still have to make the necessary preparations.

If the underground palace in Zhongnan Mountain is really related to the practitioners in the gourd world, especially to Cheng Gongxing, even with his current cultivation strength, he cannot guarantee that he can take it down.

After all, Zheng Faming also said that the underground palace was built by combining almost all the Taoist forces at that time.

Afterwards, Lu Chen and Zheng Faming asked about some current information about the Zhongnan Mountain Underground Palace.

I have some idea in my mind now.

The underground palace in Zhongnan Mountain appeared on the day he was in seclusion.

And what happened on the day of his retreat?
The breath of time appears!

There must be a connection between the two.

Have the virtual worlds really begun to invade reality?
"The current situation in the Zhongnan Mountain Underground Palace is very complicated. In addition to our Great Xia Kingdom, there are other foreign forces involved." Zheng Faming said at the end.

Lu Chen asked: "Can't we stop these people outside the country?"

"not that simple."

Zheng Faming sighed and shook his head. "On the day when the underground palace of Zhongnan Mountain appeared, we wanted to cover up the news completely. However, the Internet is too advanced now, and the phenomenon that appeared in the underground palace of Zhongnan Mountain is too shocking. We can't cover up the news at all."

"Later, we also thought about plugging the holes that foreign forces used to enter the country. However, there were too many foreign forces pouring in. These rat-like creatures tried their best to get in. Our Great Xia's border is too long. Even if the martial arts department exerted its strength to the extreme, it was still unable to completely plug the hole."

"After all, it's not a year ago now. What ordinary people see with their own eyes is not necessarily true. There are too many power systems of foreign forces that we have never understood."

"..."

Lu Chen listened and nodded.

The power systems of foreign countries are varied and unlike the Great Xia Kingdom which is mainly based on the martial arts system. Damn, sometimes there are some invisible cloaks, ninjas who can use substitution techniques, and some who simply turn into small animals.

Just tell me whether it’s fucking or not!
Although the actual combat capabilities of these ghost creatures are not strong, and there is no need for innate masters to take action, acquired masters can sweep them away, but when the number of people increases, the problem can no longer be solved by sweeping them away.

People are not playing jungle war with you, but playing hide and seek with you.

Some people can turn into a tree, a small animal, or even imitate directly, or even replace some Daxia people.

How does this work?
This is still domestic territory, and large-scale lethal thermal weapons cannot be used. Official forces can only do their best to keep most of the foreign forces out.

Therefore, it is more difficult to clean up, which is why the compulsory requisition order was issued.

Just like the civilian Chosen One organizations on the border of Daxia, their main forces are cooperating with their local martial arts bureaus to block the enemy.

And Zheng Faming hadn’t said one more thing. In fact, one of the reasons why the whole world believed that the underground palace of Zhongnan Mountain was passed down by immortal cultivators was that Lu Chen was also a factor!
After all, Lu Chen openly destroyed someone else's military satellite. Who wouldn't be shocked by this situation?

Similarly, after the underground palace appeared in Zhongnan Mountain, those countries and forces that knew of the existence of "Ruchen Taoist" also sent personnel to Daxia, wanting to get a glimpse of the immortal.

Lu Chen didn't know this, he was thinking about something else.

'I wonder where my spiritual power can reach now? If I can control the paper man avatar at home to get things done, that would be great.'

As Lu Chen thought about this, his heart moved, and a huge amount of spiritual power burst out of his body, instantly crossing thousands of mountains and rivers.

But after a while, he withdrew his spiritual thoughts.

Xingyang?

It is indeed not close from Quancheng to Xingyang. The straight-line distance is at least eight or nine hundred miles, if not a thousand miles.

However, it is still far away from Mount Zhongnan.

"Well, it doesn't matter much. My real body doesn't need to go to the Zhongnan Mountain Underground Palace. I can use my divine thoughts to control the paper man avatar and see if I can get rid of the Zhongnan Mountain Underground Palace."

There is no need to go there in person, and your own safety will be greatly improved!
"Master Lu? Master Lu?"

Lu Chen came back to his senses, looked at Zheng Faming, smiled and said, "I was just thinking about something and was a little distracted. Does Mr. Zheng have anything else to say?"

Zheng Faming looked at Lu Chen deeply.

Distracted?

Although he didn't feel anything too unusual, when Lu Chen was distracted just now, he had a feeling that he was seen through.

It seems that as long as one has even a little evil thought, one will die.

Of course, he really has no evil thoughts now, at least Lu Chen no longer has any evil thoughts towards him.

Zheng Faming said calmly: "In fact, in addition to asking Taoist Lu to come out of seclusion, Li Mingkong also gave him a special instruction."

As soon as Lu Chen heard it, he understood what it meant: "Have you finished dealing with it?" This was the meaning of the sentence he sent to Zheng Faming.

Once that is handled, he will consider cooperating with the Martial Arts Club.

His eyes looked at Zheng Faming calmly.

The latter opened his mouth but did not utter the words "finished".

They only dealt with some of the people in the open, but...what about the people in the dark?

"Let's not talk about this now. My secret has already spread out. No matter how hard you try to stop it, I'm afraid it won't work."

Lu Chen waved his hand. If it was when the dungeon was just released, Lu Chen would still be willing to cooperate with the official. However, now that an underground palace in Zhongnan Mountain has appeared, and there is the unstable factor of Zheng Faming, Lu Chen feels that even if there is cooperation, it cannot be too in-depth.

Some secrets cannot be spread.

"The most important thing now is the underground palace in Zhongnan Mountain. After I have dealt with the underground palace, I will go to the Imperial Capital in person."

Zheng Faming felt helpless, but he also knew that this was the best solution.

Otherwise, how could he force Lu Chen?
It’s okay now, at least Lu Chen is willing to go to Beijing for talks.

"One last thing."

Zheng Faming pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses.

Lu Chen glared at him and said, "Just keep talking about the matter. Can you please stop pushing your glasses? It reminds me of the word 'gentlemanly scum'..."

"..."

Zheng Faming shook his head helplessly: "I'm used to it, Master Lu, please forgive me."

Lu Chen did not comment. This kind of educated and calculating four-eyed guy, Lu Chen always felt that every word he said was calculating him: "Go ahead."

Zheng Faming looked at Lu Chen and asked, "Master Lu... is he a cultivator?"

Lu Chen smiled and did not answer directly: "What do you think?"

"..."

Zheng Faming was speechless again.

I guess I need to ask you?

Lu Chen didn't intend to say anything, just guess it yourself.

There are a bunch of riddlers above my head, and now it is finally my turn as a serf to stand up and sing!
