Chapter 436: Sharpen your weapon first
After experiencing the incident on Xuanfeng Island and the intrusion of those evil women, I have developed a lot of fear in the vast East China Sea. Although this place is far away from the Central Plains, it is not peaceful. It can be said that there are undercurrents and dangers everywhere. Hurry up and leave without delaying.
At the third watch, he 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 make sure that Datou and Mr. Hei were serious.
Not on the island, this 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 often panicked, hesitant and reluctant to set foot.
At first, I thought that Fire Qilin did not want 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.
Setting foot on land has nothing to do with the breath, but it has never set foot on land before.
This situation has caused many people to wonder. Why did the original owner of the Fire Qilin only move in the East China Sea and not set foot in the Middle Earth? And those evil women I saw earlier have birds as mounts and can go to the Middle Earth to snatch young people at any time.
Men, but judging from their previous performance, it seems that they did not do this. 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 Huo Qilin, he flew westward. When he passed by the Jianghuai Pier, he looked down and found that the two large ships on the pier 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.
I didn't dare to instruct the Fire Qilin to fly low and take a closer look. I could only look down from a high altitude and observe. There were Japanese pirates in Qilin Town, but there were not many of them.
After flying over Qilin Town, he instructed the Fire Qilin to turn to the northwest and go straight to Shuzhou City where Batulu and others were.
In the morning, they came to the outside of Shuzhou City. In order not to disturb the people in the city, they chose to land in the woods outside the city, tied the fire unicorn to a tree, calmed them briefly, and then walked into the city to meet Batulu and others.
people.
Shuzhou had been besieged by the imperial court for a long time before, with supplies lacking and people's livelihood difficult. Now it was recruited by the imperial court and the people's livelihood has returned to normal. It is a completely different scene from when they first came. .??.
After entering the city, he first bought a bamboo hat from the street to cover his face. Shuzhou is 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 did not go through the gate, but went straight over the wall, avoiding the crowds in the mansion, and came to 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?"
He looked around and said in a low voice, "Second senior brother, it's me."
Listen
At the sound of the sound, Li Zhongyong hurriedly opened the door and came out. Li Zhongyong was not wearing a robe, only a middle coat, and a copper hoop on his head, and the hoop was also connected to a circular copper ring.
As for his left eye, looking through the copper ring, his eye is twice as big as his right eye.
Just when he 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, he did not answer the call, but quickly entered the room. Li Zhongyong's room was filled with all kinds of strange and weird things, and there was almost no place to stay.
Li Zhongyong closed the door and pulled up a chair, "What are you doing? Why are you so sneaky?"
He said casually, "I was seriously injured in bed and wasted a lot of time. In order to regain the opportunity, I used the strategy of returning the tiger to the mountain and temporarily lured back the eight major families sent by Japan to China. I should be going to Japan now.
On the ship, it shouldn’t 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 the words. He instantly understood, "There are many people here and you shouldn't come here."
"I have business to do and will leave immediately," he 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." He 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 things in the room.
thing.
After Li Zhongyong left, he sat down on the 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.
It consists 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 he was looking around, Batulu's voice came from outside, "I'm eating. We can't talk about anything until after eating."
There were footsteps of three people, but it was only Batulu himself who spoke. After a while, the door opened and the three people walked in.
Chen Liqiu was not surprised to see him, but Batulu was very surprised, "Oh, Lao Wu, when did you come?"
He 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."
He nodded and turned to Batulu and said, "Senior Brother, I will get you something good."
"What?" Batulu's eyes lit up.
"A mount," he 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 and injure enemies."
Hearing the words, Batulu was overjoyed, "Haha, good things, good things, where are they? Where are they?"
"In the woods outside the city," he walked to the desk and polished his writing, "Senior Brother, go and prepare the things on the paper. When they are ready, I will take you to see the mount."
Batulu responded enthusiastically, and when he finished writing, he grabbed the ink before it 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, he turned to look at Chen Liqiu, "Third senior brother, are the two apricots in the jade pillow still there?"
"Here, what's wrong? Do you know their origins?" Chen Liqiu asked.
"Yes," he 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 takes only one thousand years.
Get two, and after eating them, you can spawn wind and thunder wings from your back."
Hearing the words, Chen Liqiu frowned slightly, then reached out to take the two red apricots and looked at them carefully. Then he 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," he said. "Not long ago, I got a rare book from the Pre-Qin Dynasty. This thing is also recorded in the book. This Zhongnan immortal apricot can only be obtained twice in a thousand years."
The pointed pedicle is male, and the round pedicle is female. The male fruit will produce a left wing, and the female fruit will produce a right wing. If taken at the same time, two wings will be born, which can be stretched and retracted freely, and can be sent and received by the heart."
"That's interesting," Chen Liqiu returned the two apricots, "You still keep these two, I'll take the two in the jade pillow."
He 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 offered it again.
"I have already been promoted to live in the mountains, and I have Young Master Black as my mount, so it is useless. The fire unicorn I gave to my senior brother can also soar into the clouds and ride in the mist, so he doesn't need it." He took the fairy apricot and handed it to Li Zhongyong, "Two
Senior brother, these two are for you."
These words are also sincere. If Li Zhongyong accepts, then he will really give it to him and continue to build ships for Takeda Mayumi. However, based on his understanding of Li Zhongyong, Li Zhongyong will definitely give it to Takeda Mayumi. There is a saying
The eldest brother is like father. Among the five, Batulu is the oldest, but he is a fool. Therefore, as the second senior brother, Li Zhongyong always regards himself as the eldest brother.
Take good care of them.
As expected, after hearing the words, Li Zhongyong shook his head and waved, "Mozi's mechanism records how to make prosthetic wings. I don't need them. If you are willing, you might as well give them to the fourth child. It will be difficult for her to be alone."
"That's fine," nodded, "but I don't know where she is right now, but I have made an agreement with her to meet you 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 can go find 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.
After thinking about it, he 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 and it will last for a long time."
save."
Chen Liqiu nodded.
While talking to Chen Liqiu, Li Zhongyong went 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 the width of your little finger is wrapped around the wrist and fixed.
"When you need to draw a talisman, you only need to extend your five fingers, and the mechanical spring in it will sense the external spring and pop up 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 very flat and can only store thirty-six talisman papers. Fortunately, it can be quickly reloaded after use, and it is not troublesome."
After the demonstration, Li Zhongyong took off the talisman box and handed it to him. He tried the same thing and tried it himself. The talisman box was very cleverly made. When the spring popped out, there was also a thin foil under the talisman paper, which could be used to write as a cushion. When the talisman paper was covered with
After being removed, the bottom backing will 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. Moreover, 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." I 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 eunuchs or something."
He 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 much, he only needed a few sharp knives, stitches, intestines and a small amount of wine.
