After experiencing the incident on Xuanfeng Island and the intrusion of those evil women, Chang Sheng became wary of the vast East China Sea. Although this place was far away from the Middle Earth, it was not peaceful. It could be said that there were undercurrents and dangers everywhere. Hurry up and leave without delaying.
At the third watch, Changsheng saw the island where he and Datou had settled before. Although Datou and others had informed him through spiritual tokens that everyone on his side had left by boat, he still landed on the island and stopped briefly to confirm that Datou and Mr. Hei were there. When he was really not on the island, he drove the fire unicorn to take off again.
At dawn, when I came to the coast of the East China Sea and saw the large land below, the fire unicorn was mostly panicked, hesitant and reluctant to set foot.
At first, Chang Sheng thought that Fire Qilin was unwilling to fly to the land because he was born in the East China Sea and his aura was inconsistent with that of the land. However, after some comfort and encouragement, Fire Qilin finally flew over the land, which showed that Fire Qilin did not want to fly to the land. The desire to set foot on land has nothing to do with the breath, but rather the fact that it has never set foot on land before.
This situation made Changsheng Duo puzzled. Why did the original owner of the Fire Qilin only move around the East China Sea and never set foot in the Central Land? There are also those evil women I saw earlier who all have birds as mounts and can go to Middle-earth to snatch young men at any time. However, judging from their previous performance, it seems that they have not done so. Why is this?
Furthermore, most of the people in the Blood Alliance and the Taoists on Xuanfeng Island are purple energy masters, and there are even some Taixuan masters. With so many purple energy masters, if they show up in Middle-earth, they will definitely be able to act unscrupulously and do whatever they want, but in Middle-earth, But I have never heard of these people. Are they unwilling to come to Middle-earth, or are there some unknown taboos that prevent them from setting foot in Middle-earth?
Under the encouragement and comfort of Changsheng, Huo Qilin flew westward. When he passed by the Jianghuai Pier, he looked down and found that the two large ships on the wharf were no longer there. He continued to go west and reached the sky above Qilin Town. He was worried that the Japanese pirates would discover his whereabouts. , Chang Sheng did not dare to instruct the Fire Qilin to fly low and take a closer look. He could only look down and observe from a high altitude. There were Japanese pirates in Qilin Town, but there were not many of them.
After flying over Qilin Town, Changsheng instructed Huo Qilin to turn northwest and rush directly to Shuzhou City where Batulu and others were.
In the morning, Changsheng arrived outside Shuzhou City in a dusty state. In order not to alarm the people in the city, Changsheng chose to land in the woods outside the city, tied the fire unicorn to a tree, calmed him down a bit, and then walked into the city to see Batu. Lu et al.
Shuzhou had been besieged by the imperial court for a long time before. It was short of supplies and the people's livelihood was difficult. Now it was recruited by the imperial court and the people's livelihood had returned to normal. It was a completely different scene from when they first came.
After Changsheng entered the city, he first bought a bamboo hat from the street to cover his face. Shuzhou was less than a thousand miles away from Qilin Town, so he had to be wary of Japanese pirate spies wandering into the city.
When he arrived outside the mansion, he didn't go through the main door. Instead, he climbed over the wall and entered, avoiding the crowds in the mansion and arriving at Li Zhongyong's residence.
Li Zhongyong likes to tinker with mechanisms and creations, and he doesn’t know what kind of mechanisms are set up in the yard. As soon as he stepped into the due north room, the sound of a small gong was heard, and Li Zhongyong immediately asked, "Who is it?"
Chang Sheng looked around and said in a low voice, "Second Senior Brother, it's me."
Hearing Changsheng's voice, Li Zhongyong hurriedly opened the door and came out. Li Zhongyong was not wearing a robe, only a medium-sized coat, and a copper hoop on his head, and the hoop was connected to a round copper ring. The copper ring was directly opposite his left eye. Looking through the copper ring, his eye was twice as big as his right eye.
Just when Chang Sheng was frowning in confusion, Li Zhongyong raised his hand and took off the copper hoop on his head. As soon as the copper hoop was gone, his left eye returned to normal, "Lao Wu, why are you back?"
Worried about being seen by others, Chang Sheng did not answer the call, but quickly entered the room. Li Zhongyong's room was filled with all kinds of strange and weird things, with almost no place to stay.
Li Zhongyong closed the door and pulled up a chair, "What are you doing? Why are you so sneaky?"
Changsheng said casually, "I was seriously injured and was in bed, which delayed me for a lot of time. In order to regain the opportunity, I used the strategy of bringing the tiger back to the mountain and temporarily lured back the eight major families sent by Japan to Middle-earth. I should be going there now." Japanese ships should not be here."
Li Zhongyong was also present when the Japanese pirates came to raid on New Year's Eve. He knew the inside story and heard Chang Sheng's words. He instantly understood, "There are many people here and you should not come here."
"I have business to do and will leave immediately," Changsheng said. "Where are the senior brother and third senior brother?"
"Let's stay at home. I'll call them. You sit down for a while." Li Zhongyong turned around and went out. When he stepped out of the threshold, he turned back and warned, "Don't touch anything in the house."
"Don't worry." Changsheng nodded. In addition to the messy weird things in the room, the air was also filled with the smell of saltpeter and sulfur. This was not the first time that Li Zhongyong set himself on fire while messing around. He didn't dare to mess with the room. s things.
After Li Zhongyong left, Changsheng sat down on his chair. He found several flat wooden boxes and a stack of talisman papers on the desk where Li Zhongyong worked. The talisman papers were all blank, and the style of the wooden boxes was also very strange. , composed of multiple parts. He had previously entrusted Li Zhongyong to help him build a charm box that could quickly draw and write spells. These things on the desk should be defective products.
There was a round iron ball placed in the middle of Li Zhongyong's table. Li Zhongyong should have been tinkering with the iron ball before he arrived. This shows that Li Zhongyong had already built what he wanted, but it was not placed on the table. On the case.
Just as Changsheng was looking around, Batulu's voice came from outside, "I am eating. We can't talk about anything until after eating."
There were footsteps of three people, but Batulu was the only one who spoke. After a while, the door opened and three people walked in.
Chen Liqiu was not surprised to see Changsheng, but Batulu was very surprised, "Oh, Lao Wu, when did you come?"
Changsheng stood up and said with a smile, "Just arrived."
"Have you eaten? You must not have eaten." Batulu turned around and wanted to leave, "Just wait, I will kill the pig for you."
Chen Liqiu stretched out his hand to hold Batulu, "Stop working, he is definitely not here to eat."
Changsheng nodded, turned to Batulu and said, "Elder brother, I will get you something good."
"What?" Batulu's eyes lit up.
"A mount," Changsheng said, "This thing is called Fire Qilin. It is a descendant of dragon blood. It can not only fly into the clouds and ride on the mist, but it can also breathe fire to hurt the enemy."
Hearing Changsheng's words, Batulu was overjoyed, "Haha, good stuff, good stuff, where is it? Where is it?"
"In the woods outside the city," Chang Sheng walked to the table and polished his writing, "Senior Brother, go and prepare the things on the paper. When you are ready, I will take you to see the mount."
Batulu responded with all his heart. When Chang Sheng finished writing, he grabbed it before the ink dried and strode out.
"Don't tell anyone that Lao Wu is here." Chen Liqiu warned.
Batulu turned around and glanced at Chen Liqiu, "You don't have to say it."
After Batulu left, Changsheng turned to look at Chen Liqiu, "Third senior brother, are the two apricots in that jade pillow still there?"
"Here, what's wrong? Do you know their origins?" Chen Liqiu asked.
"Yes," Changsheng nodded and took out the two red apricots from his arms, "I got two more in the East China Sea. This thing is called Zhongnan Immortal Apricot. It is one of the top ten innate spiritual roots in Kyushu. It lasts for a thousand years. Just get two of them, and after eating them, you can spawn wind and thunder wings from behind."
Hearing Changsheng's words, Chen Liqiu frowned slightly, then reached out to take the two red apricots and looked at them carefully, then took a closer look and smelled, "They are exactly the same. Is this thing really as magical as you said?"
"It should be true. The person who gave me the immortal apricot had no need to lie to me," Changsheng said. "Not long ago, I got a strange book from the Pre-Qin Dynasty, and this thing was also recorded in the book. This immortal apricot from Zhongnan has only been available for thousands of years. Two pieces, the pointed pedicle is male and the round pedicle is female. Taking the male fruit will give birth to the left wing, and taking the female fruit will give birth to the right wing. Taking them at the same time will give birth to two wings, which can be retracted and retracted freely, and can be sent and received by the heart."
"This is interesting," Chen Liqiu returned the two apricots to Changsheng, "You still keep these two, I will take the two in the jade pillow."
Changsheng shook his head and did not take it, "This thing can only be stored in jade after it is separated from the branch, otherwise it will become invalid after seven days. These two are almost expired. Please take it."
"Just eat it, what can you do for me?" Chen Liqiu gave it to him again.
"I have already been promoted to live in the mountains, and I have Young Master Hei as my mount, so it is useless. The fire unicorn I gave to my senior brother can also fly into the clouds and ride in the mist, so he has no need." Changsheng took the immortal apricot and handed it to Li Zhongyong, " Second Senior Brother, these two are for you."
Changsheng’s words were also sincere. If Li Zhongyong accepted them, he would really give them to him and continue to build ships for Mayumi Takeda. However, based on his understanding of Li Zhongyong, Li Zhongyong will definitely give up to Takeda Mayumi. There is a saying that an elder brother is like a father. Among the five, Batulu is the oldest. However, he is a fool. Therefore, as the second senior brother, Li Zhongyong He has always regarded himself as the eldest brother and always takes good care of them.
As expected, after hearing Changsheng's words, Li Zhongyong shook his head and waved his hands, "Mozi's mechanism records how to make prosthetic wings. I don't need them either. If you are willing, you might as well give them to the fourth child. It's not easy for her to be alone."
"That's fine," Chang Sheng nodded, "but I don't know where she is right now, but I have made an agreement with her to meet her in half a year from the inn in Dengzhou where Master took us to stay. These two immortal apricots You keep it, and when the time is agreed upon, you go to look for her. I will take them around for a while, and I will leave this matter to you."
"Okay, leave it to me." Chen Liqiu responded casually.
Changsheng thought for a while and said to Chen Liqiu, "These two immortal apricots have the same effect as the two immortal apricots in the jade pillow. You can eat any pair, just put the remaining two into the jade box." Keep it for a long time.”
Chen Liqiu nodded.
While Chang Sheng was talking to Chen Liqiu, Li Zhongyong walked to the inner room and took out a wooden box. "I've made what you want. Let's try to see if it works."
As he spoke, Li Zhongyong opened the wooden box and took out a very small rectangular wooden box. The wooden box was slightly curved, and its length and width were only a little larger than the talisman paper.
"You can put it in your waist bag when not in use, but it may get stuck on the inside of your left wrist when you use it." As Li Zhongyong spoke, he patted the small wooden box toward the inside of his left wrist. After the wooden box was stressed, two boxes popped out from both ends at the same time. A copper band as wide as the little finger is wrapped around the wrist and fixed.
"When you need to draw a talisman, you only need to stretch out your five fingers, and the mechanical spring in it will sense the external spring and pop out the talisman pen and paper dipped in cinnabar at the same time." Li Zhongyong spoke while demonstrating in person, "Worrying about affecting your move, The talisman box is made very flat and can only store thirty-six talisman papers. Fortunately, it can be quickly reloaded after use, and it is not troublesome."
After Li Zhongyong demonstrated, he took off the talisman box and handed it to Changsheng. Changsheng followed the same method and tried it himself. The talisman box was very cleverly made. When the machine spring popped out, there was also a thin foil under the talisman paper, which could be used as a pad for writing and as a talisman. Only after the paper is removed does the bottom backing retract again.
I have tried it several times and found it to be really easy to use. The talisman paper comes right out of your hand and you can write in the shortest time. It is also very easy to re-dip the cinnabar on the talisman pen after using it up. You only need to place the talisman pen on the top of the foil. After retracting, it will be automatically dipped and dyed, and then it will pop out together with the talisman paper.
"Thank you, second brother." Changsheng thanked him happily. The ancients said that if a craftsman wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools. The tools in hand can really get twice the result with half the effort.
At this moment, Batulu hurriedly ran back, carrying a small cloth bag in his hand, "Lao Wu, did you write it wrong? The things you want seem to be castrated or something."
Changsheng took the small bundle from Batulu's hand and looked at it to make sure that everything he needed was inside. In fact, he didn't need too many things. He only needed a few sharp knives, stitches, intestines and a small amount of wine. .
"Yes, let's go..."
