The night wind is cool, blowing through the palaces and pavilions of Yuque Palace. The wind chimes on the eaves and corners are swaying, and the pleasant ringtones are roaring away with the wind.
On both sides of the palace roads in the inner court, strange flowers bloomed in the already spreading ghost fog.
The flower demon as big as a thumb wakes up from the stamens and immediately dances in the ghost fog, accompanied by the night wind and flying fireflies, dancing and entertaining themselves.
Qinglan and the palace servants sent by Yuebi Palace walked side by side, holding lanterns in their hands illuminating the palace road made of white jade beside them.
A little bit of dark light in the octagonal lantern is green, emitting gloomy and coldness. Wherever you pass, the ghost fog will make way for it.
As the palace lanterns moved in the fog, a clear path gradually appeared.
Xiao Shizhu and Guimu followed closely behind.
Behind are Chen Ruo and several fully armed imperial guards.
"It's this night, if the Yue Yatou doesn't sleep well in Yantai, it's like her butt is on fire. Why are you in a hurry to ask us to come over?" After walking a few steps, Xiao Shizhu frowned and said this.
Even if he becomes king, sometimes he still has the innocence of the market when speaking.
Lai Yueqi sent someone to invite him and the ghost mother, but did not explain why. Even the palace servants sent were ignorant.
This made Xiao Shizhu not much curious, but he seemed unwilling to walk around at night today. The large amount of official duties during the day had already made Xiao Shizhu physically and mentally exhausted. After nightfall, he just wanted to lie down comfortably until he knew it.
I fell asleep during the sleep.
Therefore, complaining is inevitable, and I can't help but complain a few times.
The ghost mother was curious and had no complaints, so she told Xiao Shizhu: "It must be a big deal for girls in Yue to look for us in such a hurry, and it's okay to go there."
Xiao Shizhu didn't say anything more, and followed Qinglan and the others silently and walked towards the Yuebi Palace.
Yuebi Palace is not too far from Juexiang Garden. In just half a cup of tea, Xiao Shizhu and his group of ghosts came to the palace gate of Yuebi Palace.
On both sides of the palace gate, two jade rabbit stone statues made of white jade stand quietly in the night wind. The three-legged golden crow sculptures on the door maintain their original appearance in the ghost fog, holding their heads upright and chests.
, spread his wings and looked at the hazy area in the ghost fog ahead.
The golden house's eyes carved from moon-stones flashed soft blue light in the night, making the golden crow look extremely sharp and vivid.
After passing the palace gate, there is a palace with jade luster and patterns.
When they passed through these osmanthus trees and arrived at the main hall, Guimu and Xiao Shizhu met Lai Yueqi who had been anxiously written on her cheeks after waiting for a long time.
As soon as Lai Yueqi saw Xiao Shizhu and the others, she couldn't wait to retreat, including Qinglan and Chen Ruo, but there was no chance to stay in the hall.
Then, the heavy gate of the main hall was slowly closed, and only three ghosts, Xiao Shizhu, Guimu, and Lai Yueqi, were left in the main hall.
For a moment, Xiao Shizhu and Guimu were even more confused and confused.
Lai Yueqi didn't explain, but just brought them to the side of the book case with great enthusiasm.
Xiao Shizhu sat on the chair behind Lai Yueqi's desk, and then sat down, the ghost mother gently patted Xiao Shizhu's arm, signaling him to get up and let Lai Yueqi, who was pregnant, sit down.
Of course, Xiao Shizhu became accustomed to it. In Jiuyou Kingdom, he sat down wherever he went. He sat down without thinking, so he became a habit.
But he immediately understood, stood up, helped Lai Yueqi sit down, scratched his head and smiled at the ghost mother.
Lai Yueqi didn't care about anything else, she opened the book that had been prepared, spread the other drawings on the table, and pressed the four corners with paperweight to prevent them from rolling up again.
That book is the book she saw before. On the page she opened, it is also the page with detailed records of the Qianli Shadow Tower.
As for the expanded drawings, she asked Xiao Shizhu to find them from the pile of books during this period.
It is also one of the many books Xiao Shizhu brought back from Huangquan.
It is made of adult sea dragon skin with scales removed. It will not rot or rot for tens of millions of years, and it can maintain its toughness. The key is that the ink words written on it will never disappear.
This is one of the many ancient gods' means to preserve their knowledge.
It is said that there were also slaughterhouses on the coast of the underworld in ancient times that were peeling dragons, just to make books and design drawings for ancient gods, etc.
Xiao Shizhu looked at the book carefully and saw the five words "Thousand Miles of Shadow Tower". He immediately knew what it was. However, he was still not very excited or excited.
But Lai Yueqi was still very excited and said first: "Lord, sister **, look, this is a communicator made by the ancient god. It can allow two ghosts thousands of miles apart to see each other's phantoms through this artifact
, in dialogue through the Phantom.”
"What did I think it was?" Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother smiled at each other, turned around and stared at Lai Yueqi, who was still excited. After interrupting Lai Yueqi who was about to continue speaking, he said in a calm tone: "
When Li Yi'er translated these books for you, she told me about this thing. But I think this may be a whimsical design of the ancient god, and it may not be a reality. I have read a lot of ancient books and historical materials, but I have never heard of it.
There are records of this thing, even in many planning projects left by the ancient gods, there is no such thing or this research plan."
It is precisely because of this that Xiao Shizhu and Guimu were not as excited and excited as Lai Yueqi. Even after seeing the drawings and the manufacturing methods recorded in detail in the books, the couple was very calm.
After all, this was not something that the demon god had ever made and mass-produced. And Xiao Shizhu always felt that the shadow was mysterious.
So Xiao Shizhu was happy when he knew this thing, but after thinking about it carefully, he didn't take it seriously anymore.
"There is no record, because this was invented by the ancient gods in the Huangquan." Lai Yueqi was still calm and was still very excited. She quickly flipped the book and let go of the next page. It was something Xiao Shizhu had already known about it.
However, Lai Yueqi was still excited but increased instead of reducing, and continued to say anxiously to Xiao Shizhu and his wife: "Look, it is written here. When the demon god was in the underworld, he first made the assumption of shadow transmission based on the sound transmission, and then
This is the result of continuous research and development and design, and it was finally successful.”
"If we have this tool and utensils, the Qianli Pass will no longer rely on the relay of the sterilizer. It will not only keep the information better, but also deliver the message faster." He paused, regardless of the fact that he was already dry and said,
Lai Yueqi continued to explain to Xiao Shizhu: "Even if you cross the continent, you can pass the news in an instant. Isn't this a good thing?"
Having said that, although Xiao Shizhu and Guimu were not excited, they were both in deep thought.
They began to go against the norm and thought carefully and carefully about Lai Yueqi's words.
To be honest, although Xiao Shizhu felt that the things created by the demon gods in the ancient gods were mysterious, many of them were still practical. Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother had seen the practicality of those things with their own eyes.
So although Xiao Shizhu felt that the Thousand Mile Shadow Tower was mysterious, Lai Yueqi said the effect in a few words and said that it was mysterious. He still thought carefully whether to develop and manufacture this thing.
Anyway, Lai Yueqi asked him to come here for this reason.
Xiao Shizhu and Guimu simply thought about whether to develop the research and development, so that they could give Lai Yueqi an answer.
Lai Yueqi didn't say much, but just waited quietly for Xiao Shizhu's reply.
After a long time, Xiao Shizhu and Guimu put away their thoughts together. After looking at each other for a moment, he spoke first and asked: "Yue Yatou, how sure are you to make this thing? It's exactly the same as the ancient gods, and it's not at all.
Difference?".
This is the key to the answer or not. Xiao Shizhu still thinks it is better to ask first.
If Lai Yueqi had no confidence at all, Xiao Shizhu and Guimu felt that there was no need to waste so much manpower and financial resources.
Lai Yueqi did not rush to answer, but after thinking for a while, she nodded heavily and said to Xiao Shizhu and Guimu with confidence: "Ninety percent sure, and as long as you can successfully create such an artifact.
, I can immediately improve its transmission mechanism, etc., such as speeding up the transmission speed, distance of shadow transmission, etc. ".
Lai Yueqi has always been steady and not a silence, but likes to praise the souls of the human beings.
Not only that, Lai Yueqi is also a cautious and rigorous person who has always been in a prudent and rigorous manner in her work. Her words and decisions have always been the result of careful consideration.
Otherwise, she would not be able to study precise firearms.
Xiao Shizhu and Guimu knew this well.
When she saw Lai Yueqi's face was firm, her tone was full of confidence and no guilt. After looking at the ghost mother again, Xiao Shizhu came to pat the table and decided on the matter: "Okay, since that's the case, you are full of confidence.
Yes, it’s okay to let you study.”
He said this and Lai Yueqi became excited again, and a look of joy appeared on her face in an instant.
"Yueya, what do you need?" At this time, the ghost mother asked slowly.
"I need the funds and scientific research teams you are sure to approve. I will choose all the members, but they must be absolutely confidential. Except for the group members and you, outsiders cannot know this research." Lai Yueqi, who had already thought about what she wanted, did not stop thinking about it.
He said what he had already thought about and needed: "There is also a place that is absolutely confidential, a place where no outsiders can get involved, a special transportation team and specialized personnel for purchasing supplies."
She was a lion's mouth; although Lai Yueqi just said a few things, it was not easy to do it.
It’s okay to say that even if you use it a little more, Xiao Shizhu can move it out of the treasury. The problem lies in people, scientific research teams and procurement personnel, as well as material transfer and transportation teams, etc.
But Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother had decided to support Lai Yueqi's research, so she had no objection. After nodding again, Xiao Shizhu asked: "How long will it take?"
"About three years." Lai Yueqi silently calculated and stated this deadline.
"Okay, just go to Yuque Hunting Ground. That place is absolutely safe and can be absolutely confidential." Xiao Shizhu nodded and quickly chose a good venue for Lai Yueqi: "As for the others, I will do it as soon as possible.
, All arrangements are made for you within one month."...
The sea breeze at night kept echoing on the sea of Ming, and the huge waves that rolled up rushed to the sea outside the southeastern region of Liutianzhou, and the large and small islands standing among the waves.
They hit the island coast, the reefs on the shore, or some cliffs on the shore, making a muffled thunder sound, but they could not escape the shattering into countless water droplets and returned to the sea scattered.
Nowadays, these islands no longer belong to the Northern Yin Dynasty, but to the Jiuyou Kingdom.
Even so, it is too close to the Six Heavenly Continents, so it is like sleeping alone on the side of the Emperor of Fengdu. It is better for the Emperor of Fengdu who is far away on Luofeng Mountain, and the boys on the Shangqing coast, who are on the nearby coast, can't sleep or eat.
install.
Especially after nightfall, all the projects on the ground on the island stopped and became one with the night. After falling into silence, the boy Shangqing on the shore of Liutianzhou opposite him felt a little inexplicable fear.
The reason must be investigated. Perhaps it is because the boy from Shangqing was in the dark, and he could not know at all whether the soldiers and craftsmen of the Jiuyou Kingdom on the island were doing anything, right?
And there have been erected on these islands.
These mail towers are somewhat hidden among the dense towering ancient trees on the island, and some are even built on huge and thick branches of ancient trees.
Their function is self-evident; it is to act as the eyes and ears of various islands in the dark, and once it reaches night, there will be ghost soldiers who can see demon eyes at night, observe and monitor the surrounding coasts to ensure the safety of the islands and avoid
Being attacked and so on.
However, this time, Jiuyou Kingdom didn't know what happened. These sentry towers were all built of wood, and they gave up the way to arm these sentry towers with concrete and hard stone bricks in the past. They were very simple, but also sturdy.
This made the boy Shangqing still puzzled.
Once night falls, the air cavalry carefully selected by the boy Shangqing will fly to the sea in the darkness of the night to conduct high-altitude reconnaissance on these islands.
Under the cover of night, these elite soldiers from the Northern Yin Dynasty came and went like the wind.
But after looking around, after a few days of secret investigation, the air cavalry of the Northern Yin Dynasty only found some guard posts and houses and houses built on the island, but did not see any other tricks.
Even so, these air cavalry from the Northern Yin Dynasty still came day and night. They avoided the rising moon every night and the sky was bright.
They are always in the dim clouds, quietly protruding their heads to look down below.
That night, several other cavalrymen from the Northern Yin Dynasty came to the sky above the nearby islands, hid in the clouds and peeked, but after no new discoveries, they left in disappointment.
As soon as these air cavalry left, two soldiers from Jiuyou Kingdom standing guard chatted in a sentry tower on the island below the clouds.
The demon soul soldier asked the human soul soldier who was holding a musket on the side and was walking slowly back and forth on the top of the sentry tower. He asked with a smile: "Are you guessing that these air cavalry from the Northern Yin Dynasty will come back?"
The human soul soldier stood up and replied after a little thought: "It might come in the early morning."
"Hehe." The demon soul ghost soldier smiled again and nodded to indicate that he thought so too.
"Tell me, they are flying around, and we are not allowed to shoot them." After a pause, the demon soul and ghost soldiers continued to say, "How good is to kill them; kill one to warn them, save them from these things."
The cavalry in the northern Yin buzzed like flies, flying around, and it was so annoying!"
"I said it above, it's okay to let them see it. Anyway, the air cavalry of the Northern Yin Dynasty only saw surface projects, so what's wrong?" The ghost soldier from the Jiuyou Kingdom smiled slightly, not thinking that
He said intentionally: "If they, the air cavalry of the Northern Yin Dynasty, come eight hundred times and eight thousand times, they can't see the way we can do it."
"That's true. It's boring to defeat these air cavalry." The demon soul soldier thought about it and praised his comrades' statement. He no longer mentioned the sneaky air cavalry of the Beiyin Dynasty, and continued to be serious and serious.
