Chapter 657 Still pretending to be a ghost
Stepping onto the last stone step, the most mysterious temple in Qing Yunian's world appeared before their eyes.
It was an extremely majestic temple. Under the long light gray eaves, there were extremely towering black stone walls. Those black stone walls were like eternal ice, lying in front of Ya Mu and Fan Xian.
In the center of the stone wall is a brown door that is seven feet high.
The clumsy dark color and the overly tall main entrance are enough to create an extremely majestic and oppressive feeling, making ordinary humans who come for pilgrimage almost want to fall to the ground and keep worshiping.
But Ya Mu and Fan Xian, who already knew what the temple was, naturally would not do this.
They set their sights on the plaque above the temple door.
The incomplete words on the plaque can still vaguely make out the bilingual "Military Museum" in Chinese and English.
That’s right, the temple in Qing Yu Nian World is actually a military museum left behind by the previous civilization!
Fan Xian and Ya Mu had known the truth for a long time, so they were not surprised, but just a little emotional.
At this moment, Yamu suddenly frowned and snorted: "Bold!"
In an instant, surging energy burst out from his body, disrupting all the air within a ten-meter radius, rolling up a large amount of snow, forming a spherical blizzard surrounding the two of them.
After shielding the energy, Yamu said coldly: "I was still guessing why Sean and Ku He couldn't even touch the temple door when they came here in the original book. It turned out to be because you can read the biological information. Brain waves!”
Fan Xian was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and quickly said: "Brain waves? Isn't it space folding technology?"
Yamu glanced at him, shook his head and said: "It's a pity that I have to disappoint you. I used to think that the temple relied on space technology to create the miracles that are so far away and so far away."
"But just now, the beings in the temple tried to read my brain waves and disrupted my sense of direction..."
"Based on the situation of Sean and Ku He in the original work, I guess that the temple should rely on this technology to let the humans who come for pilgrimage see the scenes they want to see, and make them unable to touch them no matter how hard they try. Encountered the temple.”
"It's like a man-made mental maze..."
Hearing Ya Mu's calm words, Fan Xian couldn't help but look disappointed.
Then, he looked at the door in front of him with some disgust.
"So you are such a temple, so is this too low?"
"..."
The temple remained silent, seemingly not intending to answer their questions.
Yamu had also lost his patience. He stepped forward without hesitation, and with the blue flames wrapped around his body, he reached out and easily pushed open the brown door in front of him.
"Creak——"
The door slowly opened against the snow on the ground.
The scene inside the temple was presented to the two of them.
It was an extremely huge square. There were some huge buildings scattered around the square. Although these buildings were tall, they were all blocked by the black stone walls outside, so that humans outside the door could not see them at all.
Ya Mu and Fan Xian looked at each other, then stepped inside, looking around with interest as they walked.
Thanks to Yamu, countless ascetics and temple messengers have died in the world.
Now, the entire temple is about to run out of energy, and no one can stop them from entering.
Suddenly, Yamu stopped and turned his attention to a dilapidated building.
On the roof of the dilapidated building stood a small blue bird with lively eyes.
Although the blue bird was lifelike and the image was extremely expressive, Yamu could still feel that the other party was definitely not a living being, but a holographic image projected from the temple.
"Okay." Yamu looked at the blue bird calmly and said, "Stop pretending to be a ghost. I know what kind of existence you are. The two of us are here this time to reclaim the temple on behalf of human civilization."
"..."
After the words fell, the temple fell silent for a moment.
The next second, the blue bird suddenly screamed, and its body disintegrated into countless light spots under the morning light.
Points of light fell from the sky, like bright snowflakes, gathering in mid-air.
Gradually, a figure became clear. It was an old man with ancient robes and wide sleeves. There were flowing clouds at the corners of the sleeves, a black gold jade belt around his waist, and a pair of Chinese shoes with raised heads at his feet.
The old man's whole body has clear outlines, but his face is covered with a layer of blue light, making it hard to see clearly.
The old man was suspended in the air, his wide sleeves fluttering gently, like a legendary immortal, seemingly wanting to fly away with the wind.
Seeing this ethereal look, Ya Mu and Fan Xian couldn't help but feel speechless.
"As you said, we know you are a holographic projection, why are you pretending to be an outsider?"
Hearing Fan Xian's angry words, the old man suddenly fell silent, as if he didn't know how to answer.
After a moment, the old man's CPU seemed to turn around, and he finally looked down at them and said: "You are the living beings in the world, the people who are looked upon with compassion by the great temple. The frost and snow road has proved your determination. If you have any doubts, They all need bright guidance.”
"And the light is right in front of you..."
...are you still pretending to be a ghost?
Fan Xian and Ya Mu couldn't help but have black lines on their heads.
"You can't speak human language, right? OK!"
Fan Xian reached out and took out a piece of silver metal from his arms, and shouted arrogantly: "Xiao Bai, beat him up!"
"Yes, Master!"
A slightly excited voice came from the silver metal block.
Immediately afterwards, dazzling blue light bloomed from the silver metal block.
The old man in the ancient robe with wide sleeves had a look of astonishment on his face, and his figure immediately became blurry.
It's like a TV image that has lost its signal, flickering between a clear picture and a blurry screen.
At the same time, cold humming sounds came from all directions in the temple.
"Alert, alert... System intrusion detected, source unknown..."
"Trying to fight and eliminate the virus...failed, failed, the entire line of anti-invasion units collapsed..."
After a burst of cold electronic sound, the projection of the old man in front of him transformed into an image like Baymax in the movie "Super Marines".
It's just that compared to the tall and bloated Dabai, the virtual projected image in front of him is shorter, smaller, and more cartoonish.
Fan Xian said with a smile: "Xiao Bai, did you succeed?"
Xiaobai's avatar closed his legs, stood at attention and saluted: "Report, the enemy system has been completely captured by our side, the enemy leader's intelligent AI has been successfully captured by our side, and has now gone silent due to zero CPU usage."
"Ask, do you want to call prisoners for interrogation?"
Hearing Xiaobai's serious answer, Ya Mu couldn't help but look at Fan Xian in surprise.
Fan Xian was also a little embarrassed, and immediately explained in a low voice: "I don't know what happened to Xiao Bai. After he evolved, he became this character."
After saying that, he turned to look at Xiaobai and said, "You have already occupied the temple's system, can't you read the data yourself?"
Xiaobai said loudly: "Report, in order to ensure that the enemy AI's life is not wiped out, we have not forced to read the opponent's core data."
Fan Xian thought for a while, then turned to look at Ya Mu: "Brother Mu, what should I say?"
Yamu said softly: "Call out and ask."
Fan Xian nodded and ordered Xiaobai to bring up the temple's artificial intelligence.
Xiaobai saluted, then stretched out his hand to grab it, and countless light points condensed into the image of an old man in ragged clothes, with an awkward figure, and his hands tied tightly behind his back.
"Report, the prisoner has been brought!"
"..."
Fan Xian's mouth twitched and he couldn't help but glare at Xiao Bai.
Yamu couldn't help but laugh.
However, he didn't pay attention to the old man's avatar, and just said: "Tell me about the temple."
The old man raised his head and didn't care about his own image. He just said mechanically: "The temple is the guardian. We guard the last fire of human civilization to sprout again. We want the remnants of mankind to live in this world again. , this is our mission.”
"The temple will spread some appropriate skills and knowledge to the world, such as water conservancy, rice, and martial arts skills, but we will not try to forcefully influence everything in the world."
Fan Xian frowned and interrupted: "Guardian? Don't affect everything in the world?"
"Do you know what you're talking about?"
"In the human world, temples have become the highest form of faith. For so many years, you have seemed to be a shadow hanging over mankind, and you have been trying to plan the world according to your own ideas. Isn't this considered an influence?"
After hearing Fan Xian's words, the old man was silent for a moment and said indifferently: "The temple does not pay attention to the affairs of the world, and has never forcibly stopped the evolution of human civilization. We are only trying to correct this process."
"Correction?" Fan Xian laughed angrily, "Is this how you correct it?"
"It has been a thousand years since the founding of the Wei dynasty, but the world has not changed in any fundamental way. Do you call this kind of progressless history of civilization a revision?"
As soon as these words came out, the old man's image suddenly fluctuated.
Xiao Bai next to him was now wearing the uniform of a prison guard, holding a baton, standing at attention and saluting, and said loudly:
"Report, the enemy AI is trying to jailbreak!"
"Then let him out first!"
Fan Xian said without hesitation.
There was a hint of obvious surprise in Xiaobai's eyes, but he still obediently released the temple AI.
After regaining freedom, the temple AI remained silent for a long time, seemingly using the system to perform calculations.
Then, he asked in a rhetorical tone: "Isn't this good?"
Fan Xian was stunned for a moment.
The temple continued calmly: "All the actions of the temple are based on the four laws of the temple."
"The first law is that temples must not harm humans, nor can they stand idly by while humans are harmed."
"The second law, the temple should obey all orders of mankind, but it must not violate the first law."
"The third law, the temple should protect its own safety, but it must not violate the first and second laws..."
There is no doubt that these first three laws are all based on the famous three laws of robots on earth.
But the fourth law is different - "The temple must protect the overall interests of mankind from harm. The other three laws can only be established under this premise."
Fan Xian asked, "What are the overall interests of mankind?"
The temple was silent for a long time, and then said: "The temple doesn't know, but the temple knows that some roads are impassable."
As soon as this statement came out, all the past actions of the temple had a reasonable explanation.
Because the previous civilization was destroyed in a nuclear war, they believe that the new civilization cannot follow the earth's old path.
Therefore, the temple corrects the process of human civilization. Unless humans take a different path, otherwise, the temple messengers will be sent to make civilization make a new decision in various ways.
But apart from technology, which path can humans take?
Could it be that he has become a saint in his body and followed the path of martial arts?
The temple doesn't know, because they are just a mechanism for correction, not the final answer.
Thinking of this, Fan Xian and Ya Mu couldn't help but look at each other.
Both of them sighed. The former held the piece of silver metal, looked down at the old man's shadow and said regretfully: "There is something wrong with your thinking, and you need to study hard - Xiaobai, take it away!"
"yes!"
Xiaobai saluted, then swung out a stick, scattering the old man's shadow.
After solving the doubts in his heart, Fan Xian looked around and couldn't help but smile.
"Xiao Bai, sort out all the information and knowledge about the temple and see how much money you can sell for it."
"yes!"
At this moment, there was a vibration from the Void Jade Tablet.
Yamu took out the jade token and looked at it, his face immediately filled with shock.
Fan Xian noticed his expression and realized something was wrong, so he quickly took out the Void Jade Tablet.
"What?!" Fan Xian couldn't help but exclaimed, "The alliance is going to convene the Supreme Council?"
Yamu nodded and said with a slightly solemn expression: "This is also the first time I have encountered... Let's go back to attend the meeting first."
Fan Xian hesitated and said: "The temple..."
Yamu glanced at him and said, "The temple is right here, and you can't run away. What are you worried about?"
"Yes." Fan Xian nodded, placed the silver metal block on the ground, and said, "Xiao Bai, you stay and manage the temple. Brother Mu and I will go first!"
"Yes, Master!"
