Xingtetsu: Why is the captain on the train?

He couldn't help but laugh, "You can take a break first, leave the rest to me."

The captain walked slowly out of the team and came to the spiral staircase, looking out at the outside of the market and the large and small buildings of the Dandingsi rising along the coast.

According to the original plan, if they continued on, they would be about to step into the range of the Dan fog. Next, the young men in charge of advancing the train would have to face several rounds of tough battles.

But if plans change...

The captain's gaze fell on the thick roots undulating along the coast. He raised his drooping right hand slightly, and held his palm up. The golden light of imaginary energy gradually gathered in the captain's hand, outlining a gorgeous lotus.

Old Yang's face changed slightly, and he even unconsciously clenched the crutch in his hand.

Captain, you can actually manifest the key of consciousness?

"What is this?" San Yue Qi raised his hand, and his palm gently held up a crystal red feather that inexplicably appeared in the air. Inexplicably, he felt a familiar feeling.

It was not that he was familiar with the appearance of the feather, but that he was familiar with the power released by the red lotus in the captain's hand.

"Simulated Feather Dust." The captain smiled, looking at the soldiers of the Secret Medicine King who were in a turmoil because of the feather illusion in the continuous buildings along the coast. "The power of this thing, in simple terms, is that it can control the signals in the brain and make people fall into the illusion created by the user."

"An illusion?" Xing tilted his head. "Use it to deceive the soldiers of [Medicine King Secret] and let us pass?"

"The point is not the illusion, but the signal that controls the brain." Yuexia explained the power of Yu Duchen to the Star Core Spirit softly, "Yu Duchen can intercept all the electrical signals transmitted by the brain."

"First it was [abundance], then [destruction], and now even [memory] is coming." Fu Xuan murmured in a low voice, looking at the captain who was holding up the lotus with a complicated expression.

"If all the electrical signals in the brain are blocked..." Xing mobilized the knowledge in his mind, thought for a while, and suddenly realized, "Vegetative state?!"

"Yes." The captain nodded. "After all, I am the emissary of [Abundance]. If I can avoid taking the lives of other creatures, I will try my best not to do such things and let them live."

As the words fell, the [Simulated Yu Duchen] held in the captain's hand slowly began to spin.

In everyone's field of vision, the crystal red feathers presented by the illusion ignited in large quantities and turned into fire powder.

On the trail built by the Danding Division along the coast, in the elixir mist of the elixir furnace, soldiers from the "Secret Teachings of the King of Medicine" fell down in large numbers.

San Yue Qi shuddered. "Why do I feel that the kind of life the captain said is more painful than death?"

"I call this implementing the guidance of my immediate superior. [Feng Rao]'s definition of immortality is similar to mine." The captain smiled, "As long as you are alive, that's enough. As for how you live and what kind of life you live, it doesn't matter."

It seems that this is indeed the case...

"Captain, you don't need 'fuel' to use [Yu Du Chen]?" Walter pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose and stared at the captain, as if trying to see something from his expression.

"Yes, but the 'fuel' does not have to be the user's own memories." The captain raised his lips, "Originally, I was just trying it out. I have a lot of useless memories belonging to 'others' that can be used as fuel. But this time, I confirmed my guess."

"Memory." The captain smiled, "Memory can be used to fill [Yu Du Chen] with fuel."

"Can you still control memory?" Fu Xuan stared at the captain, his whole body numb.

Liuguang Yiting is a force that follows [Memory] Fuli. Compared with the size of Liuguang Yiting itself, the number of [Rememberers] under its command is extremely small, and each of them can be said to have a considerable reputation.

First of all, Liuguang Yiting seems to implement elite training internally.

Secondly, to become a rememberer requires talent.

Being able to perceive and touch the quality of memory is the threshold to becoming a rememberer.

"Yes, we can." The captain smiled at Fu Xuan, "But this kind of thing is not important, right?"

The captain smiled and called out to Yuexia, and the two of them walked down the corridor together, like a couple taking a walk along the street.

However, everyone standing on high ground could see the captain slowly moving forward.

The soldiers of [Secret of the King of Medicine] first ignored the captain and Yuexia who were walking towards them and just made a commotion. Then, as the captain and Yuexia approached, these soldiers became limp and collapsed to the ground. Some unlucky ones even fell into the sea while running away.

Under the moon, there is even the mood to fish out those unlucky creatures that fell into the sea and throw them on the trail.

"Captain, isn't it inappropriate for you to reveal so many things?" Yuexia kicked away a soldier who was lying on the ground and blocking the way, and turned his eyes to the captain.

"Risks and opportunities coexist." The captain said meaningfully, "Although we don't know what the Star Train will encounter in the future, it is obvious that the future of this train is not smooth. Everyone on the train understands this."

Yuexia nodded, "So the display of strength is to find allies and win over the Xianzhou people?"

"The future of the Immortal Ship is not going to be smooth sailing. Think about the weakness of Luofu behind the [Star Core] disaster." The captain narrowed his eyes, "I don't know if you have that feeling, but Luofu is obviously a bit out of touch."

"Of course, considering their concept of time, it doesn't seem that necessary."

“But in my opinion, they have a big problem.”

"It's hard to say whether the train will ask the immortal boat for help first, or the immortal boat will ask us for help first."

"After all, seven hundred years of life is too long. It is better for people to seize the day."

Chapter 117: Not Knowing the Current Situation

With the help of the key of consciousness, the captain and Yuexia were like entering an empty space. On the alchemy furnace corridor that rose along the coast of the Danding Division, wherever they passed, the soldiers of the [Secret Teachings of the King of Medicine] fell down in groups like wheat stalks cut by a sickle.

The heavy cross called the Blood-stained Red Box was waved by the girl's slender arms, smashing each of the exquisite and gorgeous alchemy furnaces.

The lavender mist lingering on the coast of the corridor gradually dissipated with the destruction of the alchemy furnace and the blowing of the sea breeze.

"Captain, should we leave a few 'alives' so that we can interrogate them when General Jingyuan arrives?" Yuexia turned to look at the captain, holding the cross.

"What you said... is true." The captain nodded slightly, but his eyes were looking towards the end of the corridor, where stood a towering pagoda-like building.

In the Dan Pavilion of the Dan Ding Division, according to the information given by Jing Yuan, a considerable number of alchemists in the Dan Ding Division were trapped in the Dan Pavilion due to the attack of [Secret Teachings of the King of Medicine]. After the fog rose from the alchemy furnaces, the alchemists were unable to resist the fog and had no hope of breaking out. They could only resist the attack of [Secret Teachings of the King of Medicine] on the spot.

But... along the way, the soldiers of [Secret Teachings of the King of Medicine] were all gathered around the alchemy furnace and in the corridor, looking towards the Alchemy Pavilion. Not to mention attacking the Alchemy Pavilion, there were not many soldiers gathered there.

This situation made the captain think about some things...

Some things seem to be very unfavorable to the current situation.

"Captain?" Yuexia saw the captain frowning slightly and asked the reason.

"Prepare for battle." The carried Fictitious Yu Duchen approached the captain of Dan Pavilion and slowly slowed down his pace. Following the captain's instruction, Yuexia raised his hand and threw the cross to the ground. He took out the chainsaw sword from the folding space and looked at the door of Dan Pavilion with his scarlet eyes.

Looking in the direction of Dan Pavilion, Xing narrowed his eyes, "Why did the Captain and Sister Yuexia stop?"

"Stopped?" Fu Xuan frowned, made a gesture with his fingers, his eyes flickered, and his sight pierced through the hazy Dan fog and looked towards the direction of the Dan Pavilion's gate.

Yuexia swung a roaring chainsaw sword, strode towards the gate of Dan Pavilion, and without hesitation, chopped the chainsaw at the locked door of Dan Pavilion.

And at the moment when Yuexia launched an attack on the gate of Dan Pavilion, Fu Xuan discovered a more obvious abnormality.

The gate of Dan Pavilion is as bright and clean as new.

This doesn't seem like the result of [Dan Pavilion was besieged by the Medicine King's secret teachings, and Dan Pavilion fought hard to resist].

"It's too late." Kafka, who was also looking towards Dan Pavilion, spoke softly.

"What's too late?" Fu Xuan turned his gaze to Kafka's face.

As a hunter driven by "Slave of Fate", Fu Xuan attaches great importance to Kafka's remarks at certain important moments.

"【Jianmu】, it's too late..." Kafka's words had just fallen.

A very slight tremor suddenly spread to everyone.

"Earthquake?" Lao Yang pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose and subconsciously looked in the direction of the captain and Yuexia. He thought that the tremor was caused by the captain.

But the captain and Yuexia were both wondering where this increasingly intense tremor came from.

Is it too late to build wood?

Fu Xuan raised his head in astonishment and looked towards the sea level outside Dandingsi.

Under the azure sky, the sturdy shadow of the Jianmu tree stands tall, as if penetrating the heaven and earth.

In Fu Xuan's memory, Jianmu of Luofu was always just a shadow outside the various caves. At any time, looking from a distance, it seemed to be always silent, like a dead object, but at this moment, it was different.

The tree trunk that penetrated the sky and the earth seemed to be... shaking slightly.

That 'dead thing' came back to life!

"The seal is broken." Dan Heng's eyes were a little dazed as he looked at Jianmu, but his sight seemed to penetrate time and space. His murmurs were not loud, but at this moment, they were clearly heard by everyone present.

"Look at the seaside!" March 7's surprised cry attracted everyone's attention.

They looked at the coastline of Dandingsi Cave Heaven together. The twisted tree roots were trembling, shaking off the dry bark, struggling, cruising very slowly, sprouting branches and buds.

The seal that the Chiming Dragon Lord placed on Jianmu was broken.

[Jianmu] is slowly reviving.

At the same time, the heavy and solid door of Dan Pavilion slowly opened.

A tall woman without any facial features slowly walked out of Dan Pavilion.

She held a wooden staff with down feathers growing on the tip. As she walked forward step by step, her flesh and blood melted like hot wax, and then quickly remolded, growing exquisite facial features like works of art. Her body shape also changed rapidly, and her whole body floated up under the support of an invisible force.

"Jianmu has revived. You are too late." The woman uttered an elegant and otherworldly voice, as if she was sighing, "Luofu has fallen into the hands of us 'immortals'. It is not too late for you to surrender. If you can make a contribution, I will grant you an opportunity of eternal life."

"Heh..." The captain laughed in a low voice, and the Yu Duchen held in his hand began to spin rapidly. Along with the memories that were absorbed in countless consciousness projections and did not belong to the captain, they were used as fuel and put into the key of consciousness. The simulated Yu Duchen began to gradually change his form.

The spinning lotus turned into a square brick in the golden light of imaginary energy.

This brick has a resounding name.

【Not aware of current affairs】

"This is an attitude, but also a kind of irony." The captain weighed the brick in his hand and looked at the woman of [The Secret of the King of Medicine] with ill intentions, as if he was thinking about where to hit the woman's face with the brick. "As for the so-called ignorance of the current situation, first of all, you are not worthy of bestowing any fortune on me, because you are not as good as [Pharmacist] himself."

"Secondly, even if Jianmu is resurrected, he won't be able to get rid of his 'pseudo-death' state overnight. Before Jianmu is resurrected, you will be finished first, and the Secret Teachings of the King of Medicine will not be able to make a comeback."

"Third... [Jianmu] has broken the seal, so just seal it back again."

"Fourth, even the Lord of Extinction had to resort to the method of 'soul-splitting' to escape from me. Where do you get the courage to stand in front of me and speak nonsense?"

"Tell me, are you unaware of the current situation?" The captain raised his eyebrows.

Chenglu Tianren narrowed his eyes slightly and raised the wooden stick in his hand, as if he was going to attack the captain, but the next second.

A solid blow came from top to bottom, hitting Chenglu Tianren on the back of his head.

Chenglu Tianren fell to the ground, and his five senses were stripped away by the key of consciousness in an instant.

She lay on the ground, wriggling like a caterpillar.

Having lost her five senses, she couldn't even be aware of her own condition and limbs.

"So, you can't even see through illusions..."

"You didn't raise your hands to surrender to me, but you still speak nonsense. If this isn't [ignoring the current situation], then what is it?"

Chapter 118: Mirage of the Vidyadhara

"What's going on?" Jing Yuan stared at the female caterpillar on the ground, wriggling with uncoordinated limbs, and looked at the captain with a blank look.

"They are the top brass of [Medicine King Secret Teachings], I have rendered them harmless, so I am keeping them alive for you to interrogate." The captain shrugged and looked towards the sea level where the Dan Ding Division was. "That was the original plan."

Jing Yuan's gaze followed the captain's and looked beyond the sea level.

In the near distance, the roots of Jianmu are twisted and extending extremely slowly. Further away, the Yujie Gate reflects the thick trunk of Jianmu, which is peeling off large chunks of dead bark.

Although people live by their face and trees live by their bark, it is obvious that a divine creation like Jianmu cannot be judged by common sense.

Jianmu is undergoing a transformation.

Jianmu has awakened, and there is no need to investigate the location of the star core anymore.

Jing Yuan withdrew his gaze. He felt an emotion called [thorny] for the first time in a long time. In his long life, the last time Jing Yuan felt this emotion was when [Yin Yue Rebellion] and [Yun Shang Five Warriors] fell apart.

His gaze turned to the gate of Dan Pavilion of Dandingsi.

He pursed his lips and fell into silence.

Jing Yuan once made the worst guess that at least half of the alchemists in Dandingsi were hiding the identity of "Secret Medicine King", but the truth was even worse than his worst guess.

Four fifths, or even it can be said that in the entire Dan Ding Division, only a few people of low status have not joined [The Secret of the King of Medicine] or have not been absorbed by [The Secret of the King of Medicine].

From today onwards, the Danding Division will be almost in name only in [Luofu].

General Tiance glanced at the captain. After a brief thought, he was about to speak to the captain when the cell phone in his pocket rang.

He answered the phone under the captain's gaze, and after listening to a brief report, he responded with a sigh, "I understand."

The captain noticed the frown between Jing Yuan's brows and asked, "It looks like the situation is not optimistic?"

Jing Yuan nodded. "According to the Tianbosi news, [Luofu] has no support at the moment. Fanghu has experienced a great battle and is recuperating. The Yuque and Zhuming ships are too far away from our route. We cannot wait for their support. Yaoqing and Xuling have not responded."

"We can only rely on ourselves." The captain nodded, "Not surprising."

Jing Yuan nodded slightly.
