"Ah ~ Lu Qianhu." Shangluo greeted.
At a glance, he knew that the person picking him up here must be Lu Huaiyang. Because there are basically no people in North Town, they all stay in fixed places. Only South Town has expatriate errands.
"Are you wondering why it's always me, right? Because I'm specifically responsible for your affairs now, ensuring continuity. Suddenly someone else doesn't know your situation, so it's quite troublesome to communicate. But occasionally, when I ask for leave There may be substitutions. Well, are you ready now? We are all ready here."
"Are you going to take a sip of that EITR potion?"
"Stop smoking that." Lu Huaiyang shook his head, "Do you know what that is?"
Shangluo captured his "what is it" - this means that the imperial court has understood the specific definition of "EITR" medicine here.
"Is it something that already exists?"
"South of the West Sea, on the shore of quicksand, behind the Red Water and before the Black Water, there is a large mountain called Kunlun Hill. Below it is surrounded by the abyss of Weak Water - this is Weak Water. Weak Water is not the Yellow Spring in the general sense. Water is weak because it cannot defeat mustard, but it is strong because it carries the Kunlun Mountains. Weak water carries all things, but Qi practitioners must transcend all things after all, so it is equal to poison for Qi practitioners, even with a glance They will all be sucked into the abyss. So it is said that 'the world of quicksand is eight hundred, and the depth of water is three thousand. Goose feathers cannot float, and reeds sink to the bottom.'"
"Weak water? It's actually weak water? Where did they find it?"
This name is so familiar.
"Because weak water is not a rare thing. It is everywhere, but it is not that common. It is like hot spring water. The hot spring water itself is groundwater, but the groundwater flows in invisible places. It only occurs in places with fragile geological structures. In places such as Tangshan, hot spring water will gush out from the ground to form hot springs. The Romans had the habit of digging holes everywhere to build Mithras temples, so they often dug out "underwater".
"Any water that seeps up from the Great Sea that holds the world can be weak water. But we never expected that the Romans would take the initiative to suck it up. I didn't even think that what was in the 'cylinder' was Weak water, because weak water itself cannot be contained in any container, it is worse than mustard seeds, it is the most soft thing. It is so 'soft' that it does not exist at all."
"ha?"
"It's strange, isn't it? It exists, but it doesn't exist. This is weak water. Weak water cannot be contained in a container or support a feather. It is colorless and tasteless. A thing does not look like it exists and does not feel like it when touched. If it exists and cannot be sensed by the human body, then it does not exist - we only found out afterwards that it was weak water."
"But isn't the weak water in the 'gas bottle'?"
"Let me put it another way - do genes exist?"
"It exists." For Shangluo, genes certainly exist. They can be observed, edited, and studied.
"Oh, you may have observed it. But here, we have not observed genes, but this does not prevent us from understanding the working principle of genetic factors, because we have observed the phenomenon of genes. We only need to observe peas and fruit flies to know .Similarly, before Immortal Root Radish, we only observed the phenomenon of spiritual energy, and there was no such thing as specific spiritual liquid."
"Ah! So that's it."
Shangluo understood: Does spiritual energy really exist? When there were no immortal roots and radishes, people did use spiritual energy to cultivate immortality, but no one had ever seen the actual spiritual energy. Weak water also exists. Various properties of weak water have been recorded and observed, but there is no such entity named "weak water".
It wasn't until the advent of the EITR potion that the power of "weak water" was finally used for one's own use.
"By the way, what did the Romans call weak water? They didn't call it weak water, right?"
"They call it ether. Through the EITR potion, they really gave the ether a "form", just like the form of aura in the ectoplasm. From this point of view, the Romans were only seven or eighty years behind us. Sounds like a lot , but they were already on the right path. It’s a pity that the disaster came just as they set foot on the right path. Time did not give them the opportunity to practice their ideals. I have to say that as a fellow Taoist, I still feel sorry for them. Yes. Daozu asked you to go to Rome as an envoy to see them on their way."
Shangluo nodded: "The Taoist ancestors, the emperor, and the cabinet all have the same opinion. The fate of the Taoist friends is not the poor Taoist. The fate of Rome is entirely the Romans' own business and has nothing to do with us."
"It's exactly what I thought. Then, we are all waiting for news from you. In fact, you are the first batch of diplomats to contact Rome."
"Huh?" Shangluo was stunned for a moment. He thought he was just asking on behalf of Daozu, but no one moved. "Don't we have other diplomatic mechanisms?"
"It's surprising, isn't it? In fact, there is none. Apart from setting up messengers for each other, we have almost no other diplomatic relations. We only have a lot of cooperation on specific projects. In other words, we just discuss the matter and don't care about anything else. , at most ask. Other inquiries will take some time to start. You were sent directly by Daozu, so you are the first group of people to rush to the scene of the incident to investigate. Well, by the way."
He put his hand into his pocket: "Open your mouth."
"Huh? Ouch!" Before he could notice, Lu Huaiyang stuffed a crystal bead the size of a small steamed bun into his mouth with his quick hands.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu???"
"No, no, this is the Night Pearl, it's very valuable. Because we can't spray weak water casually now, so we use Night Pearl instead, the two have the same effect. When you get to Alexandria, spit it out, be careful in the process. And use it up. Remember to return it and give it to the next person after disinfection. There are not many in total."
"Ah, ah ah ah ah." Shangluo nodded.
"Okay, then go and come back early." Lu Huaiyang opened the door of Liuli Pagoda for him and asked him to go down the way he took last time.
As soon as he entered, Lu Huaiyang suddenly remembered:
"Oh, by the way, His Majesty the Emperor called just now and asked him that the window in his house was gone. Do you have any clues?"
"Woo!" Shangluo went downstairs in a flash, and the shadow was no longer visible.
[Oh~~Your cheeks are glowing, so cool, like fireflies. Does it taste good? 】
"The smell of disinfectant, and the sugar coating. I thought it was a candy just now, it seemed to be for packaging, but when the sugar coating melted, I realized it was a bead. Why do I feel like a dragon king, with a glowing ball in my mouth? bead."
But I have to say, the effect is really good. This time he didn't use the EITR potion that made him uncomfortable. Everything was normal during the short journey, and he didn't even feel cold.
Before he opened the door at the other end, he had already heard the sound outside the door - the sound of neat footsteps, but not at the door.
