Chapter 106: Flying Boat
The next day, Lynch and Bai Yinan officially set off for the summer capital.
The team of air fighters who were temporarily dispatched did not continue to accompany them, and had already returned to Tiannan City to report on their duties. As for Lu Yun, the wind god bird, he also resigned and left after another important task was performed.
Of course, they have already penetrated deep into the Xia mainland, and their safety is quite guaranteed, and they don't need others to support them all the way.
The two of them took the most advanced, safest, and most expensive means of transportation in the world today, the Floating Cloud Flying Boat, which could fly all the way from Huzhou City to Xia Capital City.
The Flying Boat can be said to be an improved version of the flying kite, the speed is at least three times that of the general flying kite, the stability is excellent, sitting on it, almost not feeling the slightest bump or vibration, very comfortable.
However, the requirements for materials are extremely demanding, and the main frame can only be made of rare treasure wood Drifting Cloud Wood, and there is only one place for Drifting Cloud Wood, which is located in the south of Tiannan.
Speaking of which, at least half of the reason why Xia Kingdom has such a huge enclave as Tiannan, which is far away from the border, is the existence of a strategic resource like Piaoyun Wood in Piaoyun Valley.
Back then, the Peacock Empire, the Xingyue Kingdom, and the Xia Kingdom, the three major powers fought a large-scale local war in order to compete for the Drifting Cloud Valley. The Xia army, led by Rabbit Marshal Shan Qing, occupied a large area of territory south of Sky Mountain with incomparable strength and invincible soldiers, and seized control of Drifting Cloud Valley with a lightning raid.
However, at that time, the Xia kingdom had just been established, and the courtiers advocated abandoning the military and recuperating in life, fearing that this small battle would continue to expand, dragging this new country built on the ruins into the quagmire of another world war.
Therefore, in order to settle the dispute, Marshal Rabbit Shan Qing could only compromise with all parties, and after a long negotiation, he finally made huge concessions, deciding that the Xia Kingdom and the Posa Empire each owned one-third of the Floating Cloud Valley, and the remaining one-third, half of which was divided into the Xingyue Kingdom, and the other half was given to the Giant Car Country separated from the Posa Empire.
The extremely scarce resources have led to a very limited number of Floating Cloud Flying Boats, and only a metropolis-level city like Huzhou City has a large post station with a passing Floating Cloud Flying Boat, Xiangyun Station.
It can be said that whether there is a Xiangyun post station or not, the busyness of the post station is an absolute indicator to measure the importance of a city.
Speaking of Lynch, Bai Yinan was riding the Floating Cloud Flying Boat for the first time, and both of them looked left and right curiously, feeling particularly magical.
Lynch had a strong mental power, and he could vaguely feel a unique aura released by the entire flying boat, which was the breath of the Floating Cloud Wood, which was very unusual and different from any wood plant he had ever touched.
I think that when he was still in the summer capital city, his only good buddy Gao Bo was obsessed with the Shenxing car and the flying kite, and he had always had a long-cherished wish to save money to buy a piece of Floating Cloud Wood, but unfortunately it never came true, and I don't know what happened now? Without himself bringing things out of Qilin Mansion for him, he may not be able to save so much money......
Looking at the blue sky and silky white clouds outside the window, Bai Yinan couldn't help but start, contrary to the clear and clear sky outside, her mood was gloomy and full of irrepressible sadness.
"If my father had chosen to fly directly to Amethyst Mountain by Flying Boat at that time, instead of choosing to travel by land for the sake of a long-distance trip for the family, maybe he would not have been targeted by the Xingyue bandits, and the family would not have suffered this catastrophe......"
Thinking about it, a wave of anger gradually surged into her heart, rushing her emotions and resentment, but her mind was as calm as ice, "The world is cruel. ”
At an altitude of nearly 4,000 feet, the flying boat flies smoothly at a set speed, and the passengers are like staying in a movable sky castle, walking freely and walking on the ground.
After the novelty at the beginning, in the small box, Lynch and Bai Yinan sat opposite each other across a table and did their own things.
Bai Yinan likes to read, and knows that it will take several days to go to the summer capital, so he has prepared a lot of books in advance, and is reading with one hand on his cheek and the other on the page.
Like his father Lin Menglong, Lynch is also a complete cultivator, supporting his chair with one hand, standing upside down, his arms constantly bending and stretching, refining the "Tuoyun Hand".
When he first left Xia Capital City three years ago, he felt that it was difficult to even hold the cloud with both hands, but now he no longer has a problem with one hand to support the cloud, and even began to enter the realm of the five-fingered cloud.
With the help of a wonderful feeling in the flying boat, he insisted on cultivating for three whole hours, and the five-fingered cloud persisted for a full quarter of an hour, which was quite effective, and he obtained some precious experiences that he had never touched before, and he was very happy.
"Graybeard is right, cultivating the cloud hand on the Floating Cloud Flying Boat really has a miraculous effect!"
Lynch carefully tasted what he had gained from this cultivation, only to feel that the progress he had achieved in cultivating the "Tuoyun Hand" in the past year was not as good as in these three short hours.
"Tuoyun Hand" is a kind of internal and external cultivation method, the early stage focuses on external cultivation, exercise arm strength, physical strength, and later after becoming more and more profound, it focuses on internal cultivation, refining qi and refining refinement.
Since he stepped into the threshold of "five fingers to support the cloud", he has reached the bottleneck, and he has been unable to do it for more than a year, and it is difficult to advance an inch, and at this time there are finally signs of overcoming the bottleneck, how can he not be happy?
Through long-term internal cultivation, especially after reaching the transformation realm, the body can be washed and cut down by absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, refining the body, making the body lighter, the movements more agile, and even performing the light body method, weakening the gravitational constraints of the earth to a certain extent, making actions far beyond the limits of mortals, running faster than the wind, jumping hundreds of feet high, and even flying on the eaves and walls, flying on the grass, floating on the water, and stepping on the snow without a trace.
Those legendary gods who have ascended to the immortal level have been able to completely get rid of the shackles of the earth after cultivating to a very high level, soaring through the clouds and fog, and flying to the heavens and the earth.
At this altitude of three or four thousand zhang, the gravitational pull of the earth has weakened a lot, and mortals and even ordinary martial artists will definitely not feel it, as a martial arts master who has entered the realm of transformation, he is clear and discerning, and he feels different.
After that, Lynch continued to tirelessly cultivate the "Tuoyun Hand", and focused on the "Five Fingers Supporting the Cloud", in the flesh and blood, in the bones, in the viscera, there was a mysterious and mysterious light aura permeated all over the body, which made the body a little lighter, which made him ecstatic and happy......
Unconsciously, the flying boat became farther and farther away from Huzhou City, and soon crossed the boundary of Longze County and flew over other states and counties.
Xiao Qi seems to have slowly fallen in love with Bai Yinan, no longer sticking to his master, most of the time he lies lazily next to Bai Yinan, with the reactionary pages, naughty swinging his tail, making trouble for her, Bai Yinan is not annoyed, and he is happy to tease this little guy.
"Aiming ......"
With a cat meow, the little one rarely returned to his master, and craned his neck to look at an object he was intently observing.
Bai Yinan's eyes were also attracted, and he saw that the young man was holding a knife-like object in his hand, the whole thing seemed to be carved from the best green jade, and there was a rare pattern of a long feather inside, so he asked curiously, "What are you looking at?"
"Oh, nothing. ”
Lynch took the jade knife into his arms and said dryly.
But seeing that the other party had no intention of saying anything to her, and had no intention of showing her the object, Bai Yinan was slightly disappointed, but he didn't ask any questions, and continued to bury his head in the book without mentioning it.
After getting along with Bai Yinan for so long, Lynch still has a sense of closeness to her more or less, and the reason why he didn't mention anything about this thing to her was not because he was guarding her, but because this thing was so amazing that he definitely couldn't let a third person know.
This thing came from Li Baiye of the Pangyu clan, who met on the Pinghu Lake that night, and they talked a lot, and before parting, she gave him the jade knife.
According to Li Baiye, this jade knife is called the Qingling Blade, there was no blue jade wrapped outside, only the feather inside, it is the feather of an unknown ancient god bird, the whole is as light as nothing, the feathers on both sides are unmatched, with a slight wave, cut gold and jade, full of power, it is a strange thing that is not in the world.
The Qingling blade was once a love object given to Empress Wen by Emperor Lin Ze of Tianwu, and later passed down from generation to generation in the Qilin clan, and after the decline of the Qilin clan, it fell into the hands of the Pangu clan, and finally became Li Baiye's clothes presser.
During this period, the knife could not withstand the ravages of time, and gradually lost its spirituality, wilting and withering a trace of feathers, until it finally lost its sharpness and became an ordinary feather. Because of the origin of this object, it contains a special historical significance, and it was sealed with precious jade by skilled craftsmen and has been preserved to this day.
Lynch has been familiar with the "Catalogue of Soldiers" since he was a child, and has never seen a single word about the so-called Qingling blade, as a Qilin family, and the last Qilin in the world, he didn't know that there was such a strange knife in the clan, he was particularly curious, thinking that it was a gift from Emperor Tianwu to his beloved wife Empress Wen, it must be extremely extraordinary, of course he wanted to figure it out......
He knew that for Li Baiye, this thing definitely had an extraordinary special significance, so he also gave her something in return, that is, the token passed down from generation to generation by the Qilin clan, the jade sword.
Three years ago, he was forced to escape from the summer capital, and his mother gave him the small sword, telling him that he must hide it close to his body and never lose it, and even said that "the sword is in the people, and the sword is lost".
Now, he is about to return to the summer capital soon, but he gave the family token to a girl who has only seen two sides, I have to say, it is too willful.
However, he also has his considerations.
It was precisely because that thing was so important that he didn't dare to take it with him, and handed it to Li Baiye to put in her personal space, which was more secure and safe.
If you can continue to live, of course, it is the best, if not, the relics of the Qilin clan also need to be inherited, and the Pangu clan may be a good choice.
