Chapter Seventy-Six: Yun Cheng
My castle looks magnificent from a distance, and the closer I get to it, the more mysterious and romantic it becomes. But in fact, it is not as grand as imagined, and a large part of the reason why it appears magnificent is because it has been carefully modified with a tall stone foundation, Mo Qian said that the real purpose of the stone foundation is to prevent it from being submerged in case of a flash flood one day.
I laughed at him with a crow's mouth, and he said it was called being prepared. As for why he made Shiji so beautiful, it was just his hand. I couldn't help but admire his ability to carve beautiful patterns into each stone, and then put them together to form a huge mountain that was used as the base of the castle. How much manpower does it take to build such a big project? It seems that my 300,000 taels of gold have been spent really unjustly!
The castle is even more mysterious, first of all, the graceful curved spiral staircase leads from the first floor to the top floor, and the sunlight shines through the semicircular glazed roof, which looks extremely soft.
On the left and right sides of the castle, there are also two delicate circular spiral staircases. The surface of the two stairs leads from the first floor to the roof, as it has only one floor and two exits from the roof. In fact, they can lead to any floor of the castle, but except for me and Mo Qian, these exits cannot even be crossed by the golden-faced master.
And in the light, except for the huge curved spiral staircase. There is also an S-shaped staircase that leads from the first floor to each floor, and these stairs can be seen clearly from every step of the staircase in which direction inside the castle.
The windows of every room here, I don't know what means Mo Qian used to form a formation, except for the breeze, even the dust can't get in, but from the inside, but he can go out at any time.
There are also two secret rooms on the left and right on each floor of the castle, and only Mo Qian and I can enter and exit.
Chengbao's rigorous and careful design does make people feel very safe, but this deserted forest, that is, there is no need to prevent theft, there is no need to prevent theft, and there is no need to prevent beasts, snakes and insects, even if it is an enemy, it may not be able to find here, as for making it like this?
Mo Qian's answer made me half angry, and he said, "Lord, do you think your identity as the crown prince can really be hidden for a lifetime?" If one day it is made public, this is your refuge, and your subordinates don't design it tightly, okay? ”
Zhuangyuan Xun was well-read, but he was very curious about the large pieces of transparent glass inlaid on the doors and windows, so he asked me what it was and how it was made.
The raw materials and methods of this transparent glass are indeed what I told Mo Qian, but I only know that its raw materials are quartz sand, and soda ash and limestone are added...... After high-temperature smelting and cooling, it is roughly the same as the method of manufacturing colored glass in this era, and the transparent glass that can almost be comparable to modern bulletproof glass can be made, but it is all the credit of Mo Qian himself. I don't know exactly how to do that.
Just like the artillery I draw, there are all kinds of agricultural tools and tools, many of which I have only seen in books, but I have never seen the real thing. I only know the principle and form, but I don't know the details of the specific method, and even the manufacturing process, but Mo Qian can always make what I draw, and then experiment and improve until it reaches the standard I described.
I handed over the task of explaining how glass was made to Mo Qian, who was very patient from the very beginning when he knew that there was such a thing, to finding materials, making the furnace, and finally forming the glass, including how to increase the temperature of the flame furnace and how to make the glass stronger. Zhuangyuan listened with an open mind and seriousness, and his attitude was more serious and pious than when I asked my seniors for physics questions.
Seeing that the two of them would not be able to answer me for a while, I went up to the roof. As soon as I looked up, I saw a beautiful seven-colored rainbow hanging in the clear blue sky. The clear image is painted in brilliant watercolors without any smudging.
With a blue sky and a rainbow overhead, green mountains in the background, vast waters in front of you, a majestic castle at your feet, and a quiet forest all around, this is simply a fairyland. And this fairyland is actually mine! I was so excited that I couldn't help but shout, "Ah......hh
Suddenly, I felt that there seemed to be a fluctuation of air flow behind me that was different from the wind, I thought it was the golden-faced master who came over, but I didn't care, and said casually: "It's windy here, it's not good for the wound, you better go back!" ”
"It's not off......" I only heard two words, and then I was gone. When I turned around, I saw a figure that had quickly disappeared into the depths of the jungle.
Wasn't the person standing behind me just now the golden-faced master? So who is he. The more I thought about it, the more I felt that this was unusual, and I used to read some horror novels and horror movies that happened in the castle, and I suddenly felt a chill hit me, and I quickly ran back to stay with everyone.
Although the castle is very large, there are usually only two people to take care of it, and because the golden-faced master was injured, Mo Qian arranged for another doctor to come in. There were four of us, and there were only seven people living in the huge castle.
Although I knew that the castle was safe, the figure who had only spoken two words to me during the day kept wandering in my mind, and I lay in bed tossing and turning for a long time, but I could not sleep. When I looked up, I couldn't see the beams on the roof, and suddenly an inexplicable horror came over me, and I sat up from the bed and ran to the door.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw the golden-faced master guarding the door, and I threw myself into his arms and hugged him tightly. The golden-faced master was taken aback by my actions, then patted me on the back and asked in a soft voice, "Your Highness, what's wrong?" ”
"Master Golden...... "I buried my head in his chest. Tell him, "I don't dare sleep alone!" "Except for the days when Mu Yu lived in the East Palace, Master Jin Mian would guard on the beam of my room every night, although I didn't pay much attention to it when he was there, but suddenly it disappeared, and I actually felt that a gap suddenly appeared in my world.
I asked, "Would you like to sleep with me?" ”
"Your Highness!" Master Jin Mian hesitated, "My subordinates are guarding your bedside and watching you sleep, okay?" ”
I nodded, "Yes." ”
But when I got back to bed, I still couldn't sleep, so I sat up and said to the golden-faced master sitting on the edge of the bed, "Let's talk!" ”
I think it's time for me to have a good chat with Master Jinmiao, he knows almost everything about me, including that I am not the real Gu Tianba, including that my name is Lin Muyu, and even he knows it clearly when I turn over a few times in one night. But I don't know anything about him, what did he do before he became my secret guard? The secret guard is not in the palace, so who does he receive his money, he has been following me, and he doesn't have a little personal space of his own? Who is in his family? His age...... The most important thing is that he knows that I am not Gu Tianba, so why do he want to protect me desperately!
When I threw out all these questions, Master Jin was not surprised. He told me that he was the youngest son of the former martial arts alliance leader, and at the age of eight, he was killed by gangsters, and he was saved by Gu Tianba's mother, who was pregnant with Liujia, and from the day Gu Tianba was born, he was her golden-faced secret guard. The secret guard is a dead soldier, and he only fights for his master all his life, and he never dies, as for what he does, private affairs, and family members, those have nothing to do with them.
As for why he still protected me even though he knew that I was not Gu Tianba, his answer only said: "It is the mission of his subordinates to protect His Highness!" "It makes me sound a little foggy.
Just as Master Golden-Faced was explaining to me the selection and training of the Secret Guard, I suddenly shouted, "Cloud City!" ”
The golden-masked master was stunned for a moment, but the expression on his face was no longer as undisguised as when I first took off his mask. But in the moment he was stunned, I had already established a fact.
"Master Golden's name is Cloud City! He is twenty-six years old. "I've heard people say before that the former martial arts alliance leader is surnamed Yun. In addition, when the golden-faced master heard me say the word Yuncheng for the first time, he blushed, if this name was not his, he should immediately think of that person. Or nostalgia, or sadness, or whatever.
And he blushed, if it wasn't for the golden-faced master's physical problems, then this blush means that he was shy! Be shy when you hear only one name, unless that person is his sweetheart. Otherwise, it is: being called by your sweetheart.
has the same surname as the Yun Alliance Lord, it should be his sister or child, so the possibility that the woman surnamed Yun is the sweetheart of the golden-faced master is much smaller, plus Yun Cheng is not like a woman's name. So this may be basically ruled out.
As for the second possibility, it can also be understood in this way: Master Jin Mian has not heard anyone call his name for at least ten years, and it is normal to suddenly feel shy when he hears it.
As for the age of the golden-faced master, it is better to calculate, after meeting Gu Tianba's mother who was pregnant with Liujia at the age of eight, that is, eighteen years ago, the summer was the latest but the autumn, then the age of the golden-faced master came out, eight plus eighteen, twenty-six! Lin Muyu was twenty-five years old when he died, and a year later, he was also twenty-six years old. Unexpectedly, I and the golden-faced master are actually the same age!
Wrong! I am using Gu Tianba's body now, Gu Tianba is only eighteen, and I am also eighteen! A few months away! Yes, I'm underage!
However, age does not express the difference, at least the ideological experience of Master Jin and I is twenty-six years old! Hehe...... In this case, I don't want to call him master anymore, otherwise I will be embarrassed to call a good young man old!
"Your Highness is really smart!" When the golden-faced master praised me, he never said that His Highness was wise, and I also thought that the word smart was more suitable for praising girls than wise.
"Cloud City!" I repeated his name and asked, "Is it the city of the city?" ”
"It is the sincerity of 'sincerity is self-contained'."
I thought about it for a while and said: "The sincere person is also the way of heaven, the sincere person is not reluctant, he does not think about it, he is calm and the way, and the saint is also." This is to say that honesty is the law of heaven, and people who are naturally honest do not have to be reluctant to be reasonable, do not have to think about the proper language, and reach the golden mean calmly, this kind of person is a saint. Casual and casual, chic and calm, comfortable.
But he said, "Those who are sincere are also the way of man." Those who choose good and stubborn are also. The meaning of this statement is that honesty is the law of humanity. To be honest, one must choose the highest morality and stick to it.
What Master Jin Mian wants to say is that he is not a natural saint, so he respects the way of man: choose what he thinks is right and stick to it to the end.
I asked again: "Yun Cheng's stubbornness, is it to protect Gu Tianba?" "Protect this body from harm? It doesn't matter who the soul in this body is?
