Infinite simulation from lock dragon well

Beneath the Huai River.

Ji Zheng lay in the silt, his eyes fixed on the screen, but his mind was lost in thought.

This Li Du is not simple!

He could determine this instantly.

To be able to grant a jade talisman to a servant, allowing them to be immortal.

Li Du is no ordinary person.

"It's just this story, why does it feel like I've heard something similar somewhere before?"

Ji Zheng carefully recalled.

Soon he remembered.

It seemed there really was such a mythological story.

This mythological story is related to 'Lao Tzu'.

According to legend, before Lao Tzu left Hangu Pass to the west, Yin Xi, the gatekeeper of Hangu Pass, divined that a noble person would pass through this place, so he sent people to clean forty li of land in advance to welcome the noble person.

Later, the famous 'Tao Te Ching' was created at this time, due to the gatekeeper Yin Xi's request, Lao Tzu preached the Tao, speaking about the path to longevity, and later Yin Xi organized it, which resulted in the 'Tao Te Ching'.

But during this period, many small stories happened during the event of 'Lao Tzu leaving Hangu Pass to the west'.

It is said that Lao Tzu once held a small official position and was very poor. Since no one did chores, Lao Tzu hired a man named 'Xu Jia' to help him with chores.

But Lao Tzu didn't have money to pay wages at the time, so he gave the other party a 'Tai Xuan Qing Sheng Talisman' and promised to calculate Xu Jia's wages in gold after entering a country called 'Anxi'.

However, after Xu Jia followed Lao Tzu for more than two hundred years, he learned that Lao Tzu was about to go west, so he thought about asking for wages. Under the bewitchment of some people, he took the accusation to find Yin Xi, the gatekeeper of Hangu Pass.

Finally, Lao Tzu explained the situation and asked Xu Jia to open his mouth and spit out the Tai Xuan Qing Sheng Talisman. The moment the Tai Xuan Qing Sheng Talisman was spat out, Xu Jia's entire body turned into withered bones.

In the end, Lao Tzu only gave the jade talisman back to Xu Jia after Yin Xi, the gatekeeper, pleaded for him, and Xu Jia was resurrected.

This story is quite similar to the simulation.

Ji Zheng was thinking.

How could someone with such a big background be around just by randomly possessing someone?

Ji Zheng felt this was too illusory.

"Let's continue watching the simulation, sooner or later I'll find out Li Du's identity in the simulation."

Ji Zheng decided to continue watching the simulation.

He suppressed many thoughts.

He raised his dragon head and continued to look at the simulation.

The simulation continued.

...

[Day 207, you continue to handle various affairs in the old house, Li Du still stays in the old house every day.

From your perspective, Li Du's every day is like that of an ordinary person, and you can't see anything extraordinary about him.

You are not in a hurry and continue to do what you should do.]

[Day 208, Li Du suddenly asks you if he can give you your wages in a few days because he hasn't had any income recently.

After you hear this, you remain expressionless and directly answer that he doesn't need to give it to you, just providing meals is enough. Li Du is stunned for a long time after hearing what you said, and finally mutters that you must be crazy. You ignore him and continue to do what you should do.]

...

[Day 217, Li Du suddenly speaks, stating that he wants to travel for a period of time, and also says that he has no servants around him, asking if you are willing to go on the road with him.

You think about it and refuse. Although you know that Li Du is not an ordinary person, you also have your pride. In your peak period, you were the number one Dao Dragon in the world, and among the dragon race, you were the most powerful. You are not willing to take care of Li Du. Now you uphold being content with your lot and letting things take their natural course.]

[Day 218, Li Du leaves. He is always brooding over your refusal. Before leaving, he keeps muttering bad things about you.

You remain unmoved by this and continue to do what you should do, cleaning the entire old house.]

...

[Day 228, you are still cleaning the old house, but you still have no clue about your training.]

[Day 229, news comes from outside the old house. This news stuns you. Outside the old house is a city. It is said that the city is haunted by a demon, and people are panicking.

The people outside the old house come to the old house, knowing that Li Du is a capable person, so they want to ask Li Du to eliminate the demon.

But after discovering that Li Du is not there, the people are disappointed. After a series of sighs, someone suddenly thinks that you are Li Du's servant, and you usually stay with Li Du, so you must have some skills. Since Li Du is not there, they want you to eliminate the demon.

After you learn about this, you are stunned for a long time. You want to refuse, but in the end, you are carried out, wanting you to eliminate the demon.]

Exterminate a demon?

Ji Zheng was silent for a moment.

Let him exterminate a demon?

If it were his peak period, letting him exterminate a demon would undoubtedly be like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

Who were his opponents in his peak period?

The powerful ones among the gods, and the powerful humans.

Demons...

Although he didn't say it nicely, he was telling the truth. In his peak period, demons really didn't even have the qualifications to compete with him. They were completely beings from two different worlds.

However, in the simulation, he possessed a human body, and he didn't have any power at all.

How could he possibly deal with demons?

"Could it be that the simulation will end in this way?"

Ji Zheng felt that if the simulation ended like this, it would be really embarrassing.

"It shouldn't be that the simulation will end, but, in my simulated state, am I a ghost? Possessing a human body."

"All high-ranking true immortals and divine generals do not possess human bodies. If they speak through humans, they are definitely evil demons and heretics. Gods do not possess bodies, only ghosts possess bodies. So, is my situation a ghost?"

Ji Zheng thought carefully and then denied it.

He felt that his situation was not a ghost.

He was more like temporarily occupying a body. It shouldn't be a ghost, just somewhat similar.

It was another special state.

Ji Zheng was thinking.

The simulation continued.

...

[Day 230, you are carried into a conference room. You listen to many people around you telling you about the information of the demon that is causing trouble in the city.

Soon you roughly understand that the demon is a tree demon, entrenched in the east of the city. It is said that it has become powerful. The place where the tree demon is located is filled with yellow energy, and a large number of yellow birds are flying around, making it impossible for the people to get close to the tree demon.

So these people want you to help eliminate the demon. After you learn about this, you are silent for a moment, and finally decide to go and see.

Although you don't have any power now, you can't bear to watch the tree demon harm all directions.]

[Day 231, you go to the east of the city alone to meet this tree demon. After you enter the east of the city, you see the sky full of yellow energy at a glance.

But when you look at this yellow energy, you can't feel any demonic energy, but instead, there is a different kind of aura.

You ponder for a moment and determine that this is not a demon...]
