Chapter 40 Shijia Village

Old Lady Shi’s home is at the entrance of the village.

As soon as Zhang Tian and others entered the village, they saw the villagers kneeling in neat rows.

In front of them, an incense table was set up with an eight-immortal table, burning incense and paper, and filled with roast chicken, meat, fruits and other offerings.

Many of them fled to Xiangyang City that day and saw Zhang Tian’s divine power with their own eyes. The shock was engraved in their souls.

Zhang Tian defeated the Hu army twice, which allowed their village to be preserved, and they were grateful in their hearts.

If it were in previous years, they would have been tossed by the Hu people like this, even if everyone fled to the mountains with food, they didn’t know whether their houses would be intact.

If the Hu people found their hiding place in the mountains, they didn’t know how many people would survive, and how many women and children would be robbed.

Before Zhang Tian arrived, a fast horse had already notified them in advance.

The villagers naturally welcomed this immortal who descended from the sky with the highest respect.

Zhang Tian got off the carriage, helped an elder up, and said, "Everyone, get up quickly."

The elder who was helped up was so excited that his whole body was shaking, and he kept thanking him.

Zhang Tian was afraid that these old people would get sick from shaking, and then he couldn't explain it.

He had to quickly ask Xu Wen to tell them to remove all the messy things such as the incense table.

Under the guidance of the yamen runner, they came to a low house.

This was the home of the old lady Shi.

It was cold at this time, and in order to keep out the cold, the windows of the old lady Shi's house were closed like most people's houses.

In this era, there was no glass, and the light transmittance was not good, so the house was dim.

The yamen runner stood at the door, his feet trembling, and shouted, "Shi Daxiong, we have invited the immortal to come and treat the zombies, you come out quickly."

The man named Shi Daxiong was about thirty years old and tall.

But his face was sallow, his eyes were sunken, and his dark circles were heavier than those of a panda.

Hearing the yamen runners shouting, he screamed: "My mother is not a zombie! She just can't bear to leave me, you are not allowed to burn her!"

Shi Daxiong's expression was hysterical, like a demon.

No wonder everyone thought he was bewitched by ghosts.

If nothing unexpected happened, if it was delayed for a few more days, I am afraid that the ignorant villagers would treat him as a ghost and eliminate him.

Zhang Tian followed Shi Daxiong's gaze, his heart jumped, and he almost cried out.

Fortunately, he still remembered that he was called "Shangxian" and had a disciple by his side, so he couldn't yell and affect his image.

In the middle of the house, there was a master's chair.

An old lady with a thin figure, wearing a shroud, sat on it.

Old lady Shi's face was dark, like black iron, her eyes were closed, and there was a faint smell of corpse on her body.

If it weren't for the cold weather at this time of year, the corpse would not rot easily, it would be even more horrifying.

In front of Old Lady Shi, there was a bowl of white rice and a whole chicken.

However, the rice was half eaten, and one leg of the chicken was torn off. I don’t know who ate it.

This scene, this atmosphere, is absolutely standard for horror movies.

No wonder the villagers were scared. Even Zhang Tian, ​​an atheist, was scared to death.

The yamen runner said in a trembling voice: "Shangxian~~~ It is said that every time she buries, Old Lady Shi will eat half a bowl of rice and chicken legs when she comes back. If there is nothing to eat, I wonder if she will eat Shi Daxiong and the villagers?"

Zhang Tian shook his head. He did not believe that the dead would eat.

"Don't think about it. I think these foods were most likely eaten by Shi Daxiong."

When Shi Daxiong heard this, his eyes turned red and he shouted: "Nonsense, I won't steal my mother's food. It was my mother who ate it."

Then he saw Zhang Tian, ​​his face was strange, different from the people around him.

Shi Da Xiong asked curiously, "Are you the immortal they invited?"

Zhang Tian nodded, "I guess so."

Seeing that Shi Da Xiong did not salute, the yamen runner whispered, "Immortal, when you were showing off your power outside the city, Shi Da Xiong was hiding in the mountains with his mother, so he didn't recognize you. I'm not polite."

"Well, it doesn't matter."

Zhang Tian said to Shi Da Xiong, "They asked me to come and save your mother. Can I go in and take a look? I promise not to hurt your mother."

Shi Da Xiong said, "Okay."

Zhang Tian was a little surprised. He originally thought that this man had gone crazy, but he was still very clear-headed.

As long as he didn't touch his mother, it wouldn't cause a violent reaction.

Zhang Tian went into the house and looked around. The house was very small and there wasn't much to see.

Zhang Tian reached out to Xu Wen, "Bring the box."

After opening the box, Zhang Tian took out a round bead from it. Zhang Tian called it a "yo-yo."

This is a micro robot for maintenance.

It shrinks into a ball shape to save space. When needed, it can be placed in the pipeline to perform some inspection and repair work.

In space, every inch of space is extremely valuable.

Some pipelines cannot be left as long as on the ground.There is too much space, so these micro robots have to be used to assist in maintenance.

In fact, similar devices are also used on the ground.

For example, fiber optic cables are buried in pipes, and it is definitely inconvenient for people to crawl in. They are all inspected with similar micro machines, which can run more than ten kilometers an hour, much faster than humans.

As soon as the "yo-yo" is released, it emits light, and cooperates with cameras and scanners to continuously collect data.

Even the bodies of Old Lady Shi and Shi Daxiong were scanned in detail.

Xu Wen, Niu Er, Yamen and others saw that the yo-yo was like a little elf, glowing, and occasionally able to fly briefly and float in the air.

Their eyes were wide open, for fear of missing every detail.

Even Shi Daxiong, who was about to collapse, was shocked.

Suddenly, the yo-yo disappeared from the stove, and the light disappeared.

Shi Daxiong's face changed slightly, and he said: "There..."

Zhang Tian shook his head slightly, indicating Shi Daxiong not to speak, and he would not tell anyone.

There was a secret passage there, which was obviously dug secretly for escape.

It is necessary to be on guard against others, and other villagers may not know it.

The yo-yo flew along the tunnel for hundreds of meters, came out of a desolate place behind the village, scanned the surrounding environment again, and returned along the same route.

A large amount of data was transmitted back to the smart bracelet on Zhang Tian's hand, and modeling and analysis began.

Unfortunately, the computing power of the smart bracelet was insufficient.

Zhang Tian had to order the central control computer of the supply ship to be turned on to increase the computing power.

When the result came from the headset, Zhang Tian already had an idea in his mind.

Zhang Tian retracted his hand, and the yo-yo flew back to his hand and shrank into a ball again.

Zhang Tian put it in the alloy box and said, "Alas... Let's go out first. Shi Daxiong, you should come out too, the air outside is better."

Shi Daxiong glanced at his mother hesitantly, and finally walked out of the house.

But he didn't go far, guarding in front of the door, obviously afraid that others would cremate his mother while he was away.

Xu Wen asked, "Master, how is it?"

Zhang Tian was silent.

Now the result is out, and the central control computer has also given a solution.

Zhang Tian is considering how to solve this problem.

The first is to use the most correct and scientific simulation solution provided by the central control computer to explain the cause and effect to everyone.

But the result obtained may not be the best.

The other is to use the identity of the immortal to "play tricks". The central control computer only gave suggestions for this unscientific solution.

The original design of intelligent AI is to provide the most scientific and correct solution to the staff.

But Zhang Tian, ​​as a human being, knows the weaknesses of humans.

Sometimes, the most correct method may not be the most appropriate.
