Chapter 601 Travel
Yuan Shoucheng kindly guided the fisherman to go fishing, but he didn't expect that the fisherman would be angry with the Dragon King of Jinghe. The Dragon King came to his house to make a bet with him, and finally changed the rain time to win, resulting in the Dragon King being beheaded. Yuan Shoucheng originally thought that he would be fine if he guided the Dragon King to find the Human Emperor to save his life, but he didn't expect that the Dragon King would die.
"Cause and effect." Yuan Shoucheng thought that being targeted by the Jie Sect was entirely due to his cause and effect, and that he had leaked the secret of heaven. He felt that this time it was a bad fortune, so he left a lot of last words for his nephew Yuan Tiangang. Anyway, if he couldn't go back, the Yuan family would rely on Yuan Tiangang.
However, my nephew thought that my uncle had no big problem. He believed that since the Heavenly Dao gave Jie Sect a chance, this uncle's trip to the west might not be a bad thing.
Anyway, uncle and nephew have completely different views.
After simply packing up a few sets of clothes and bringing some copper coins, Yuan Shoucheng set off. He took a carriage and came directly outside the city. He saw that the hot air balloon was full of people watching the fun.
There are still several carriages carrying things, and Yuan Shoucheng chose the day he set out, because the weather is very good today, and the almanac is also suitable for traveling far away.
"Bao, pickled cabbage, boiled eggs, and steamed buns are all easy to store. The buns were made last night and are hot now." Yun Yao said: "There is also water. Water is the most precious because you can't bring too much."
The female princess did not listen at all. She was just very excited. Many years later, she finally had to go back to her hometown to take revenge. Although the injustice of the Huang family was controlled by the political struggle and it was difficult to clean up in a short period of time, it was absolutely impossible to make the enemy feel better.
Yuan Shoucheng had a headache when he saw the couple. Naturally, he could tell at a glance that the female princess was a woman. He believed that the princess must know, but the princess did not expose it and even tugged with the female princess in public. He knew that the princess must have been good at polishing the mirror. He had heard that the atmosphere in the palace was chaotic, and even the princess was inevitably affected, which showed that there was indeed a quagmire in the palace.
"Master Yuan is here, then we are ready to go." Yunyao is now dressed in men's clothes, with a bow and a sword on his back. Since he is traveling far away, it will be too inconvenient to wear a long skirt. The boots are also carefully selected deer-skin boots, which are waterproof and warm.
Yuan Shoucheng just nodded, went straight to the hot air balloon, and entered his room. The small building has two bedrooms and one living room, one big and one small. The big room is naturally the princess and the small room is Yuan Shoucheng. They came to distribute it yesterday, and as for the panda, they naturally lived in the living room.
In fact, they are all quite crowded. Although they are two rooms, they are just sleeping and cannot do more activities at all. Of course, it is still possible to stack them together.
The food is placed in the living room, so the pandas have only room for sleeping. On the second floor is through a vertical ladder. There are surveying tools, a special compass, coal and boiler that generates heat to push the propeller. It is also a place for three people to work.
"Since everyone is together, let's go." Yunyao and the three of them climbed up to the second floor, waved to the crowd outside, loosened the cable amid everyone's cheers, and flew into the sky.
Everyone saw that the hot air balloon was getting higher and higher, and finally turned into a point. Yuan Shoucheng looked at the curved horizon in the distance and discovered for the first time that it was not a round place. It turned out that they lived on a ball.
Soon Chang'an disappeared, and they flew towards Jiannan Road in the southwest. I don't know how many surprises the people will cause along the way, because hot air balloons are really new things. They have never appeared before, and they don't know them, so they probably think that this is a magic weapon. They can only wait for hot air balloons to become popular in the future, or officials who know about hot air balloons will conduct popular science.
Yuan Shoucheng was helpless when he looked at the special compass because he couldn't use it. The new compass not only pointed to the southeast, west and north, but also up and down, which made him confused. In fact, this cannot be called a compass at all, it should be called a gyroscope, but it has the function of a compass.
I feel that my little compass is easy to use. Although it is very old, it is also a foodie handed down by the ancestors. I really don’t know how to use this new compass.
Yunyao suddenly asked Yuan Shoucheng: "Everyone said that sunrises in the east and rains in the west. How big can the weather be? We will fly out of Chang'an soon. Should we re-divinate the weather outside?" The propeller pushed the hot air balloon and flew quite fast.
Yuan Shoucheng used to tell fortunes in Chang'an City. For the first time, he encountered a situation where he had to cross multiple areas within one day, so he didn't know if the weather he calculated could include all areas.
Yuan Shoucheng really needs to recalculate this situation of a thousand miles a day. In the past, I only heard that the exaggerated battle report required such an exaggerated speed. He, a fortune teller, did not need to be so fast. Different regions have different weather, so he can only recalculate it once every time he goes to one region. "I have never repeated divination many times in a day before, which is really a strange thing."
Yun Yao thought that Yuan Shoucheng still had limitations. Although it was more accurate than the weather forecast, the weather forecast could broadcast the weather in multiple regions in one breath. However, Yuan Shoucheng could only predict one place at a time, and he had to re-predict it if he changed the region. Fortunately, it was not difficult to count the weather.
But Yunyao felt that Yuan Shoucheng was still too conservative and should upgrade the compass to a gyroscope: "Master Yuan doesn't seem to like using gyroscopes to tell fortunes."
"The human race is down-to-earth, but this gyroscope has two more directions and countless possibilities, so I can't calculate it." Yuan Shoucheng was also very honest, and did not pretend to understand.
Yunyao said: "This gyroscope can be considered more. If you can master it, it will be considered a Taoist sect. Why not take advantage of this long journey to improve your abilities?"
The reason is this, but Yuan Shoucheng must be careful to avoid being entangled with the Jie Sect, which would not be beneficial to him, so he chose to remain silent and pretend that he was divining.
Seeing that the other party was always on guard against him, Yunyao thought that she would not give me face and would give you little shoes after returning to Chang'an. She looked at the female princess again and found that she was looking ahead, wishing she could go home instantly to avenge the whole family, and obviously she was not in the mood to pay attention to her little wife.
Yunyao found out that he was enjoying this trip, and everyone else had their worries, one was thinking about taking revenge and the other was thinking about protecting himself, but none of them could share the joy with him. As expected, it was right to bring a panda with him. The road was long and if there was no panda to relieve the pressure, he would have been bored to death by these two guys.
Forget it, since you have set off, the rest is just to hurry up, so don’t think about it. Yunyao said to Yuan Shoucheng: "When you count the fragments of the Zhuxian Sword, tell me that finding fragments is the most important job for this long journey. You can do whatever you want." Yunyao also started working, and she wanted to map an accurate southwest map to see how many roads she had walked.
The sky is very cool, but fortunately, the three of them are not ordinary people and have the ability to keep warm. The mountains and rivers are undulating and the rivers are crisscrossing, and the scenery is magnificent, but it is boring to see too much, so I still concentrate on my work.
Small tables were installed on the fence on the second floor, so the three of them were completely back-to-back when working, and they would not interfere with each other. Now there is only the sound of wind and no more conversations, and everyone is concentrating on their own things.
