Xiao Yunfan stood behind Madam Mo, without seeing her face, and asked curiously: "May I ask Madam, does this ship fly by relying on its huge wings to push it upward?" Madam Mo stretched out her sleeves and wiped the tears on her face. He said slowly: "The sails on both sides of the ship are just to control the direction of the treasure ship. The big bag on top is the secret that makes the treasure ship lift off."
Shui Hanyan blinked and smiled: "Oh, I know, the principle of the treasure ship flying into the sky is similar to the sky lantern."
[Remarks]: (Whether there was an invention like hot air balloon in the Ming Dynasty? The author does not know. This is purely a novelist’s statement, and readers will laugh it off.)
Mrs. Mo nodded and said: "Little girl, I have some knowledge. The ascension of this treasure ship is indeed similar to the Kongming Lantern. The reason why the Kongming Lantern can soar is because the candles inside the lampshade are hot and the Yang Qi gathers. When the Yang Qi is strong, it floats up on the sky. Heaven; Yin Qi is strong and sinks to the earth. The Qi in the lampshade is originally Yin and Yang declines. After being heated, it changes from Yin to Yang. When the Yang Qi is extremely strong, it will overflow. The continuous flow of breath will have upward power. As you can see, the big pocket on the top of this treasure ship is just like the lampshade of the Kongming Lantern."
Xiao Yunfan thought to himself: I never expected that this old pious woman knew a lot. He touched his chin and asked: "Madam said that this ship can soar. How can this ship go down?"
Mrs. Mo pointed to a disk-shaped bronze device under the big bag and said slowly: "No. There will be a large copper bucket under the plate, and the bucket is filled with stone fat. My husband learned from the Tang Dynasty notes "Youyang Miscellaneous" I heard that this thing exists in the world in "Zu". It took several years of effort to get some. This thing can ignite fire, which is several times better than ordinary oil.
Just now I have already stated that the reason why Kong Ming Lanterns can fly is because they use the power of fire to reconcile the Yin and Yang Qi. This treasure ship can both rise and fall. If you want the ship to fall, you only need to activate the mechanism on the disk, and the fire source will gradually become smaller. Once the fire source is small, the Yang energy produced will also be reduced. By that time, Yin will be strong and Yang will be weak, and the ship will sink. Just use the wings of the dragon boat to glide down.
When it was really about to land, another mechanism was triggered. The ship's hull will immediately shoot out several iron anchors. The anchor is strong and embedded in the ground. The position of the treasure ship can be fixed. There is a strange stone hidden at the bottom of the boat. As long as the mechanism is turned, the strange stone will generate suction with the ground, helping the boat to land smoothly. "
After hearing what Mrs. Mo said, Xiao Shui and Xiao Shui both admired Mo Ion. Looking at the treasure ship, he had a sudden thought in his mind and thought: The spaceship built by Senior Mo is indeed magical, but in another thousand years, will anyone build a more exquisite treasure ship?
While Xiao Yunfan was deep in thought, Mrs. Mo coughed and said, "Boy, we will set off tomorrow. I will teach you how to control this ship tonight. You can learn as much as you can comprehend."
Xiao Yunfan was surprised and happy, and said with cupped hands: "Thanks to Madam's love, this junior is honored. But I have never practiced the art of machine control. Can I learn it overnight? It seems that once a treasure ship like this takes off, if the boy Improper control would have cost four of my lives in vain."
Mrs. Mo looked at him, sighed and said slowly: "There is no other way at the moment. If you push back and block, your life and mine will be in great danger! The art of controlling the spacecraft is not difficult in the first place. If you are timid and fearful, wouldn't it mean that you and I are in danger?" Not as good as an old woman?”
Xiao Yunfan muttered in his heart: You are an old pious woman, you are so afraid of death even though the soil is up to your neck? Am I, Xiao Yunfan, not afraid? But then I thought: I can't let her look down on me, it's just learning the art of machine manipulation. Being so aroused by her, he became more aggressive and blurted out: "I'll just follow your example."
Mrs. Mo poured water and smoke into the water with a straight face and shouted: "Little girl, please go farther away, I don't want you to listen to me teaching the secret method." Shui Hanyan flattened his mouth, but he didn't want to in his heart. But when her eyes met Xiao Yunfan's face, Xiao Yunfan nodded slightly to her, and then she turned and walked away.
Xiao and Mo used Qing Kung at any time and jumped onto the deck of the ship. Mrs. Mo walked into the cabin at the bow of the ship. She raised her arm and pointed at a wooden pile half a person's height on the bow to introduce it. However, she saw that the wooden pile had four turns of copper hoops, with a finger-thickness extending from the left and right of the copper hoop. little dragon. At the top is a pure gold faucet the size of a fist.
Just listen to her saying in a hoarse voice: "This small room is the center of the treasure ship. The wooden pile in front of you is called the Tianzhu. The eight golden dragons on it represent the eight directions. If you want the treasure ship to go in which direction, just move that When the golden dragon pushes up, the treasure ship will automatically move in this direction. And the dragon head at the top can control the speed of the ship..."
Between the two of them, one taught everything he could and the other was open-minded and eager to learn. In less than half a moment, Xiao Yunfan already understood how to control this treasure ship. Shui Hanyan sat down against a pillar and soon fell asleep. When Xiao Yunfan and Mrs. Mo got off the boat, she was still awake.
Later, after Mrs. Mo gave Xiao Yunfan some instructions, she arranged two stone rooms for the two of them to live in. Shui Hanyan sat on the stone bench, picked up a teapot, and poured a cup of tea for Xiao Yunfan. Then he asked with a smile: "Have you learned this weird method taught by the weird lady?"
Xiao Yunfan took a sip of tea and said, "Although I'm not very proficient, I still know a little bit about it." Shui smoked and held his chin in his hands, blinking his big eyes and asked, "Brother Xiao, if you really learn how to operate this treasure ship, Zhishu, are you willing to take Yan'er on this boat and travel to three mountains and five mountains?"
Xiao Yunfan smiled and said: "That's natural, but the old lady may not be willing to give the treasure ship as a gift."
Shui Hanyan added: "That's true. Anyway, as long as you say this, I will be very happy." After saying that, she poured herself another cup of tea, then looked at Xiao Yunfan and said: "Brother Xiao, are you still Do you remember the first time you met me?"
Xiao Yunfan nodded and said: "Of course I remember it. I was injured at the time, and I was suffering from alcohol and drug poisoning. I was besieged by people from your Xuannv Palace together."
Shui Hanyan said with a small mouth: "Hmph! You kidnapped me the first time you saw me. What were you worried about at that time?"
Xiao Yunfan said with a smile: "I dare not kidnap that senior sister of yours." Shui Hanyan smiled and said: "Of course. If it were my senior sister, you would be dead."
Xiao Yunfan responded: "Indeed. If it were your senior sister, she would have stabbed seventeen or eight holes in my body while I was still awake. The good Xiao Yunfan would definitely turn into the riddled Xiao Pofan .”
Shui Hanyan said angrily: "Humph, I can hear it. You are talking about my senior sister. You are saying that my senior sister is not good, and you are just talking about our Xuannv Palace in a roundabout way."
Xiao Yunfan squirted out a mouthful of tea and thought: This girl's thoughts are really strange. He said casually: "It's not what you said, 'If it were my senior sister, you would be dead.' Now you're blaming me again!" Shui Hanyan said with a straight face: "Huh! My senior sister, I said yes, you If you say it won’t work, it won’t work today, and it won’t work tomorrow.”
Xiao Yunfan touched his nose and said, "I'll do it the day after tomorrow." Shui Hanyan blushed and said, "You..." Suddenly she changed the topic again, sighed and said, "I don't know, Master, Senior Sister. Are they going back to Xuannv Palace now or staying in Bashan?"
Xiao Yunfan said: "That senior sister of yours is like a tigress, why do you still miss her?" Shui snorted with smoke: "Huh, no, senior sister always treats me the best, what's so delicious and fun? Let me do everything. If you say she is a tigress, I will ignore you."
Xiao Yunfan nodded and said: "Okay, okay, as ordered. Water Girl. It's getting late. I'm going to rest. You should also rest early." He stood up.
Shui Hanyan stood up, glanced at him, and said softly: "Are you angry with me?"
Xiao Yunfan smiled and said: "It's human nature for you to defend your senior sister! What can I be angry about?" After saying that, he turned around and scratched her nose and said: "Little girl, Brother Xiao means you Keep your spirits up, we will set off tomorrow."
After leaving the smoky stone room, Xiao Yunfan returned to his room. He put his hands under his head and pondered: Mrs. Mo is relieved, she only needs the dragon and phoenix keys to make it. My little life will be saved. The little boy was the only one left in the Chu family. As the saying goes, one life is for another. They handed over the antidote, and I handed over the key.
By the way, what happened to the eldest lady of the Feng family? I was also confused at the time. She was a young lady who had never traveled far and traveled all the way to Bashan for my business. If she made a mistake, I would not be able to forgive Feng Shibo. Now we can only hope that the Feng family will know about her going out privately and send experts to protect her secretly. Why did I suddenly think of her?
Now I'm afraid that the poison in my body is about to break out, and there are still nine days left before the promised date. If I still can't hand over this murderer, even if I have to devise an antidote, that life-and-death situation will still kill me. I have thought about this matter more than once. Xu Shou wanted to put the blame on me for killing the Bashan sect, and he also wanted to put the blame on me for killing the Xuannv palace. The strange thing is, how come other people can use the lion seal that Master taught me? Apart from me and Master, there should be no third person in this world. But the lion seal is absolutely true, what is going on?
Since I walked around the world, I have killed many evil people. Could it be that their relatives and friends want to avenge them and know that their martial arts skills are not as good as mine, so they set up a plan to kill people with borrowed knives. Since I, Xiao Yunfan, made my debut, there have been only a handful of dead souls killed by the sword. It would not be difficult to investigate them one by one. It's a pity that time is limited. If Feng Shibo's people help and Chishui helps Luo Jiutian, brother Luo, they will be able to find out one or two. Now I am afraid that I am not the enemy, which is even more difficult to deal with.
As he thought about it, his eyelids became heavy and he fell asleep. In the middle of the night, my stomach felt like a knife was on fire. Xiao Yunfan bit his lip and tried to endure it. His close-fitting clothes were almost soaked, and he muttered to himself: "What a powerful poison." He quickly stood up and sat cross-legged, folding his palms and adjusting his breath with luck. I thought to myself: This is really bad. There are so many things going on these days, I actually forgot that the acupuncture points that were sealed before have been unlocked by themselves. I am afraid that the poison has penetrated deep into the five internal organs. Is it possible that the King of Hell really wants to accept me?
After a stick of incense, the burning and cramping pain in his abdomen was relieved. He stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, clenched his fists and swore secretly: "I will definitely avenge this!"
The next morning, Xiao Shui and his wife met Mrs. Mo in the hall. Mrs. Mo said with a tired face: "I have prepared food for five days. I will use a big bamboo basket to send it along the ropeway to the cave where the treasure ship is located. You two will carry these things on board."
Xiao Yunfan said: "May I ask Madam how I will inform you when we arrive?" Madam Mo said: "You only need to shout three times and I will hear you. This key is for opening the iron door. You can Put it away." The two did as they were told and walked along yesterday's cave to the place where the treasure ship was parked.
Shui Hanyan said: "Brother Xiao, I see you looking haggard. Could it be that you have something on your mind?"
Xiao Yunfan still held her hand and said slowly: "It's nothing."
Shui Hanyan said again: "I was thinking about a question after you left last night. If the treasure ship is flying in the sky, how can we identify the location underground?" Xiao Yunfan smiled and said: "There is a compass on the ship that can distinguish north and south, and there is also a thousand-mile compass. A mirror can see everything.”
Shui Hanyan nodded and said: "However, the wind will be very strong in the air. What should we do if it rains and thunders?"
Xiao Yunfan said: "All your assumptions are not completely unreasonable, but what you are thinking of, that senior Mo has also thought of. If there is a thunderstorm, this ship will not be able to fly high. There is a lightning rod on the big bag that can deflect thunder. Lead it to a mechanism elsewhere on the ship to ensure that the ship is not destroyed by thunder and fire."
The two came to the square while joking. Xiao Yunfan followed the instructions and shouted three times.
Not long after, a basket slid from the cliff to the center of the square on an iron chain. After the basket was parked, Xiao Yunfan unloaded several food boxes in the basket. Then the hook on the basket was connected to the original iron rope. He shouted three more times, and saw the basket rising slowly along the iron rope. After going through the cycle several times, all the things they had prepared for this trip were placed on the ground.
Xiao Yunfan held a brocade box in each hand, started Qinggong, and carried it to the ship. In less than a moment's notice, everything was loaded onto the ship. Xiao Shui and Xiao Shui stood on the boat waiting for Mrs. Mo.
Mrs. Mo pulled Dou'er across the suspension bridge, and the two of them jumped up and climbed onto the deck.
She took out a fire folder from her sleeve and handed it to Xiao Yunfan and said, "Light a fire."
Xiao Yunfan took the fire fold, climbed up a herringbone wooden ladder, lit the paper media, and guided the twist on the copper bucket. Then he pulled an iron ring on the copper bucket, and the golden dragon in the center of the copper bucket spun, and a small flame burst out from the dragon's mouth, like fireworks, scattered down, and little sparks fell on the ring-shaped disk. Inside the eight copper bowls. There was a sound of "chi", white smoke came out, and eight copper bowls lit up at the same time, flashing blue light.
Mrs. Mo sat at a table and said to everyone: "It will take an hour before this big bag is full of yang energy. Let's eat something first." Dou'er didn't ask anyone, and grabbed a bag from the food box. He chewed a sesame cake and said vaguely: "Mom, why have I never been on this boat?"
Mrs. Mo smiled and said: "At that time, you were young and your qinggong was still weak, so my mother didn't let you come up. Now that you have grown up and your skills are better, my mother will naturally let you come up and play."
Xiao Yunfan ate a few bites of cake and drank some water. Walking to the bow of the ship and looking around again, Shui Hanyan said: "Brother Xiao, this ship is so heavy, do you think we can pull it with just the big bags on our heads?"
Xiao Yunfan said with a smile: "Mrs. Mo said it can be done. Do you know the name of this ship? Mrs. Mo calls it the 'Shenlong'. Since it is called the Shenlong, it is naturally omnipotent in heaven and earth."
Xiao Yunfan supported the side of the boat and said: "Yan'er, I remember you told me that the disciples of your Xuannv Palace have to practice many knowledges, including the art of mechanism. I wonder how the teacher who teaches you the art of mechanism compares to this senior Mo?"
Shui Hanyan smiled and said: "You have a good memory, but my sixth uncle is proficient in mechanism skills. If she sees this Shenlong, she will definitely be happy."
