Siheyuan: Living in the People's Community, with a Heart for the Red Star

Old Yang straightened his clothes, coughed twice to clear his phlegm, and then introduced himself.

"My ancestral home is in China, but I was displaced by war and wandered around. After the war, I went around looking for doctors and medicine to repair the wounds of the war. It's not an exaggeration to say that I was saved from a desperate situation. When I was on the verge of death, I met my master, and then I learned a set of magical skills in this way. So I went abroad to develop, and then this and that... after this and that, I achieved considerable results outside. I can be considered a small success and became a local lord! After becoming successful, I wanted to seek excitement and discovered the unsolved mysteries in this world. I accidentally came to our temple, and then what happened later happened..."

Old Yang spent nearly half an hour on a simple introduction, and re-telling the story he told his wives to the three of them. Old Yang, who was a little thirsty, picked up the goblin tea and drank it in one gulp. He put the tea bowl on the round table, waved to Saige and said:

"Mr. Sage, please give me another cup. It tastes good and can refresh the mind. It's really a good thing! Um, does our temple really have no more goblin tea? Can't we organize people to grow it on a large scale? Good things should be shared!"

Saige stood up to pour tea for Lao Yang while continuing to change the subject.

"I didn't expect that Lord Yang's experience is so rich and colorful, and he can make such achievements. It also shows that Lord Yang is destined to be the son of destiny in this world! Lord Yang can come to the temple, which is also the guidance of the gods. It seems that Lord Yang will have a more wonderful journey in the temple! Lord Yang must be tired when he first arrived. After drinking this cup, I will take you to rest. If there is anything, we will continue to discuss it in detail after you have rested. It will benefit both parties!"

"Yes, that's right! What Mr. Sage said makes sense. I don't want to drink the goblin tea anymore. Please pack it for me and I'll take it back to my room and enjoy it slowly. Thank you! As for the fruits and other drinks, please send some to my room. I'll give you the list after I've selected them. Please help me prepare enough. I've come here with great difficulty, and I can't go back empty-handed. This is not my style!"

"Ahem, Lord Yang is really a humorous person! We are optimistic about Lord Yang's future, and we will naturally not treat Lord Yang badly. We are willing to give him some small supplies. When Lord Yang leaves, we will definitely make him satisfied! No need to emphasize it repeatedly. Saige, you can take Lord Yang to rest, find a spacious and comfortable room for Lord Yang to live in, and introduce the various functions of the room to make Lord Yang live comfortably and at ease! We two old guys will not see you off, our bodies really don't allow it."

Wu spoke to ease the awkward atmosphere and asked Saige to take Lao Yang away. Wu and Katu had to think about how to talk to Lao Yang next. After all, they didn't have much time left and had to make plans for the next generation!

Old Yang was not polite. He stood up and bowed as a greeting. He walked to the place where Saige had made tea before, took all the goblin tea in his hands and followed Saige to a wall. Just like before, Saige tapped the wall and a portal with ripples appeared. The two of them left the portal one after another. It was not until the wall returned to calm that Wu and Katu quietly discussed how to contact Old Yang next and how to keep Old Yang in the temple!

After Lao Yang followed Sage out of the courtroom, they appeared in a passage. Lao Yang had no impression of it at all and probably had never been here before. So he asked Sage:

"Where are we going? Can we meet other people? For example, my good friend Femalanchi. He and I still have some unfinished business. Can we meet again?"

After hearing Lao Yang's question, Saige paused for a moment, then answered while walking:

"I didn't expect that Lord Yang has other friends. He really has a wide range of friends! But as far as I know, Femalanchi is a bishop who believes in the God of Earth, and Pudar, who left with you, is a bishop who believes in the God of Fire. The two people are from different factions. How did you know both of them at the same time?"

"Is this important? Can the communication and friendship between people be differentiated by faith? Don't look at anyone with tinted glasses. People are born equal!"

Lao Yang severely criticized Saige's thoughts, causing Saige to fall into a brief confusion. He was more optimistic about Lao Yang's future. A person who had crossed the boundaries of God could fully assume the position of the Son of God and reintegrate the factions in the temple.

"Lord Yang is right! My thinking is too narrow. Bishop Femalanchi does not live in this area. He lives on the underground floor like other knights and bishops. Only the duty personnel, judges, and sons of God live on the first floor of the temple. The rest are all functional buildings. If you want to find Femalanchi, you can only go to the duty office. And Femalanchi cannot enter the area where we are. This is the private residence of our Inquisition. Only those recognized by the temple can enter the Inquisition! It is very safe to stay here and will not be harassed by others. Please rest assured, Lord Yang."

As they talked, they came to a wall. Saige gently touched the wall, and a ripple appeared and flickered. Saige led Lao Yang into the room. This was a living room with an area of ​​about 40 square meters. It was very simple, with only a table, two stools and some simple toiletries. There was a room on the right, with a bed and a wardrobe, and a bathroom on the left, with a faucet and a wash basin. There were two towels hanging on the wall, and a huge mirror above the wash basin.

Lao Yang casually threw the goblin tea he had brought on the table beside him, walked into the living room and sat down on the sofa, enjoying the comfortable feeling of being wrapped all over his body.

"Oh~! Really nice. Who made all the items in Sage? So enjoyable! Make me a set to take back home when I leave. It's really enjoyable inside the temple. No wonder you don't want to go out. Living in such a good environment, I would be too lazy to go out and fight and suffer. Wouldn't it be better to lie down here and let it go?"

Listening to Old Yang's remarks, Saige's eyes flashed with a trace of reminiscence. He said, "As long as Lord Yang likes it, the furniture in the temple is made by the temple's processing factory with raw materials provided by believers. Although Lord Yang is enjoying it very comfortably now, once these furniture are placed outside the temple, they are just ordinary tables, chairs and benches, and can no longer change with the changes of the human body. This is also the magic of the temple's rules. If Lord Yang doesn't believe it, you can pack up all the items here and take them away when you leave, and go back and try it!"

Sage saw Old Yang lying on the sofa enjoying the massage, looking like he hadn't heard anything. So he continued, "Master Yang, please follow me to identify the equipment in the room. I will input the restrictions of the room for you so that I can control the opening of the door at any time. Master Yang, this is your first time living in the temple, so you still need to learn the uses of the various equipment in the room."

Old Yang got up from the sofa with difficulty and complained unhappily:

"Okay, okay, then let's take a look at what we need to learn and where to start?"

Seeing that Lao Yang had already stood up, Saige did not dare to waste time and led Lao Yang back to the door. When his palm touched the wall, a list of divine texts immediately appeared on the wall.

Old Yang was a little confused when he looked at the divine patterns displayed on the wall. No matter how he looked at them, they looked like smart electronic locks from later generations, with a visual menu on them.

The interface entered a fingerprint recognition interface under Sage's operation, and then he said:

"Master Yang, please place your palm on the wall so that I can help you enter your identity."

Lao Yang walked to the front, raised his hands and pressed his palms on the wall. Soon a light flashed and a prompt popped up saying "Fingerprint entry successful."

Before Seg came forward to operate, Lao Yang started to operate the interface. There were not only fingerprints, but also retina, pupil, DNA sequence, blood, sound and other verification modes.

Saige then explained: "The right to use this house belongs to Lord Yang! You can summon a door on the entire wall at any time, and you can also adjust the mode and scene of the room here."

While introducing, Seg lightly tapped the left wall, and a menu appeared with various functions. You can choose the layout and background environment of the room, and there is even a holographic projection function.

Lao Yang tried it out and chose a seaside mode. The environment in the room changed instantly and soon became a beach. It even worked with the stereoscopic experience, allowing Lao Yang to feel the sea breeze, the rustling of leaves, the crashing of waves, and the singing of birds. He really felt like he was on the beach.

After watching the effect, Saige led Lao Yang into the bathroom. There were various scene options on the left wall. Saige pressed his handprint and ordered: "Adjust the water temperature and enter the rainfall mode."

I saw a cloud gathering in an area of ​​the bathroom, and a light rain fell. The water temperature was just right, and the entire area was vertically falling to the ground and disappearing. The water was flowing out from the tiny holes on the roof.

Next, Sage explained to Lao Yang the various supplies and hidden operations one by one. There was even a holographic projection TV in the temple. Unfortunately, what was filmed inside were some humanistic environments and various scenes of the outside world, flowers and birdsong. It was both teaching and documentary. The most numerous scenes were of believers offering sacrifices and praying in various temples.

Half an hour later, Sage explained the general functions of the house and finally introduced how to order and pick up food. There are special chefs in the temple who prepare various delicacies and deliver them directly to the room of the person who ordered the food through the passage.

After Sage finished his introduction, he didn't stay any longer. He said goodbye to Lao Yang and left the room. Lao Yang reached out and clicked on the wall, quickly brought up the menu, and selected the option of "No entry without permission". He studied the various functions of the items in the room, then walked to a beach chair to lie down and rest, and called up the holographic image to watch, and ordered a drink and a meat bun.

Soon, drinks and meat buns appeared on the table next to him. Lao Yang reached out to grab the drink and clicked on the introduction of the temple in the holographic projection. He began to learn about the entire temple through the video. Although it was just an ordinary teaching version, it could roughly help Lao Yang understand the operating rules and historical development of the temple. Eating and drinking while enjoying the view, coupled with the comfortable reclining chair, it felt like watching a TV series in the previous life. Soon, Lao Yang couldn't stand the invasion of fatigue and fell asleep!

When Lao Yang woke up again, five hours had passed. The more Lao Yang understood the temple, the more magical it seemed. This thing must have surpassed the technology when he traveled through time, but the branches on the technology tree had basically not changed, it just seemed more magical.

Lao Yang believed that there must be a device similar to a core computer running in the entire temple, and there might even be the legendary artificial intelligence, or in other words, the spirit of a magic weapon in mythology. He just didn't know what kind of authority he needed to obtain to communicate with the artificial intelligence. It was estimated that no one in the temple had this authority at present, and they might not even know it existed!

After all, the gods in the temple have disappeared for countless years, and the highest positions left in the temple are only those like the messenger and the chief judge, and they cannot even touch the core of the temple!

Lao Yang no longer hesitated, as time would reveal the truth. Lao Yang still had plenty of time, so he was not in a hurry. But Lao Yang absolutely believed that the chief judge Wu and the so-called programmer Katu must be even more anxious!

Just as Lao Yang was daydreaming, a holographic projection came from the door. Sage was already standing outside the door calling Lao Yang. Lao Yang turned on the voice transmission and asked:

"Mr. Sage, what can I do for you? I just woke up and haven't gotten out of bed yet!"

Saige's voice also came.

"Excuse me, Lord Yang. The chief judge has made a decision and asked me to invite you to discuss the matter. Lord Yang, please move forward. I'll be waiting for you at the door!"

After saying that, he stood there motionless.

Lao Yang turned off the projection, climbed up from the beach chair, stretched his body, and felt very relaxed. Although he was sleeping on a recliner, he did not feel uncomfortable at all. He picked up the remaining drink on the table and drank it in one gulp. The drink and the plate soon sank into the table and disappeared.

Lao Yang went to the bathroom to wash his face, changed into light clothes, then opened the door and walked out. He held his head high and gestured for Sage to lead the way. The two of them began to walk towards the passage. Lao Yang asked as he walked:

"Seg, tell me how the roads in the temple are divided. I see that every wall is the same, and every passage is the same. How did you find the room I am in?"

After hearing Lao Yang's question, Saige slid his hand along the wall without thinking and said:

"Map display."

As the two walked, a map image appeared on the wall, showing the front and back connections of the passage, as well as the locations of the rooms on both sides. Sage continued:

"Please navigate to Lord Yang's room!"

Immediately, the map on the wall flipped over, revealing a path, and then a very thin white light flashed on the ground, guiding the route forward.

"Uh!"

Old Yang continued to ask:

"Then how did you do it? You found the room without using navigation before!"

Saige frowned and replied:

"I know the way!"

Old Yang rolled his eyes at Saige and snorted in dissatisfaction.
