Chapter 66: The Bell of Zhongcheng Rings
When Jiu Ban saw Wan Duming, he had already sat in his tent with his accessories and hadn't closed his eyes for three days and three nights.
He's worried.
On the coast of the East China Sea, whales gather more and more along the coastline, and it is like a pilgrimage. The people of the country of Pugao are not afraid of the sky and the earth in the sea, and almost no country can match it in terms of water warfare, but the only thing they are afraid of is the whale. The whale's extremely thick fat under its skin can withstand most attacks, and on the contrary, they can swallow more than a dozen Pulao people in their mouths with a casual bite, and only swallow it, regardless of life or death.
The hard work made him tired, and even when he stood in front of him for a while, he didn't notice it for a while, until the bell of the country of Pu Prison came into his ears, and the young man found the figure standing in front of him. "Nine-and-a-half, why are you here?" Seeing that after seeing nine-and-a-half, Wan Duming stood up suddenly because of surprise, but the exhaustion made his eyes dark, and his body staggered and almost collapsed, but it was still Jiuban's eyes that quickly reached out to support him, so he didn't fall.
"I'm not..... Come and see you?" At this moment, the face of the nine and a half people who was holding Wei Xicheng was no more than a fist away from the other party, and suddenly he raised his eyebrows and spoke. Nine and a half words were no problem, but the jump in his brows made Wan Duming's heart tremble suddenly. As if it was an instinctive reaction, the prince of this country of Pujiao sat on the ground with weak legs, and then said with a smile: "Nine-and-a-half brothers, I'm not, what's that......"
"Hahahahaha......" Jiu Ban and Wei Xicheng both burst into laughter, and the entire camp was suddenly filled with joy. Wu Liangzi on the side floated out of his mouth with a sentence of "virtue", and then twisted his head to the other side, while Wei Xicheng stepped forward and slapped Wan Duming on the shoulder who was about to stand up, and said: "Don't worry, Lord Chujun, my brother's heart is very simple." ”
Wan Duming, who was about to stand up....., was suddenly slapped by Wei Xi and sat on the ground again, and he said with some trepidation: "Really?
"Of course that's what you mean in your heart?" hahahaha......."
Wei Xicheng's smile covered up Wan Duming's embarrassment, after all, this prince is still a child!
Wan Duming had just taken possession of it with the support of the ninth half, and suddenly a herald rushed into the camp tent. Thinking that the herald was also a chick, he didn't have any eyes, and after rushing into the camp tent, he didn't raise his head and directly knelt in front of Wan Duming: "Lord Qiyu Prince, there is an urgent report of the military situation!"
Wan Duming reluctantly stood up, and said with a little embarrassment: "What's the matter, say!"
But the herald raised his head, looked at the nine half-guards standing in the camp tent, and Wu Liangzi, and then turned his head to look at Wan Duming, his expression was a little wary, and there was a state of "Prince, this news can only tell you, others can't listen to you, if you don't get them away, I won't say it".
Almost seeing the meaning of the herald, Wan Duming suddenly became a little irritable. He thought to himself, why are you soldiers so much to do? The newcomers don't understand any of the rules, I let them into the camp, don't you see what it means? What's more, in my current state, it's not embarrassing for you to stay here, hurry up and leave!
"Regardless of so much, hurry up and say, what's going on!"
Seeing that his prince seemed to be a little anxious, the herald hurriedly lowered his head, and then said: "Tell the prince, the whales in the East China Sea have gathered again, and the number is increasing unabated!"
When the herald said this, he immediately turned and slipped out. After hearing this, Wan Duming sat down on his chair, and muttered while sitting in a daze: "How is it possible...... How can this be ......?"
Seeing his dejected appearance, Jiu Ban and Wei Xicheng couldn't say anything when they stayed aside, so they could only find a place to sit down. Wan Duming muttered to himself for a while, and suddenly the corner of his eye swept to nine and a half, and then he pounced on him as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw and grabbed nine and a half, and said: "Nine and a half, nine and a half, what do you say I should do? Do you know that the number of whales on the coast of the East China Sea will increase almost every hour, and if this continues, I am afraid that the whole country will move westward!"
Holding Wan Duming's hand tightly, Jiu Ban comforted him and said, "Don't worry, there will definitely be a way." ”
"Did you know that among the whales on the shore, there are even 'whale kings'. ”
"What whale king, what is that?" Nine and a half heard the word "whale king" for the first time, and his face was shocked. He always thought that the so-called tiger king and dragon king were just legendary things, or the gadgets of the elders fooling the younger generations, but he didn't expect it to be real.
Seeing Jiuhan's reflection, Wan Duming was also shocked: "What, don't you know what the 'Whale King' is?" Then he straightened his sitting posture and said to Jiuban with a serious face: "That's right, you are not from my Pujiao country, and you don't know anything about this." As we all know, the people of my country are good at water and war, but they are only afraid of whales. Although we are afraid of whales, we also know the most about whales, after all, what are we afraid of, if one day we are really attacked by whales on land, the consequences may be extremely terrible. ”
Wan Duming was talking more and more vigorously here, and Wei Xicheng and Jiuhan on the side were also able to listen energetically, but Wu Liangzi left their communication circle and sat alone and didn't know what they were doing. "Whales, like other spirit animals, can be cultivated with spiritual wisdom. And I, the people of Pulao Country, call those whales above the Holy Realm of Cultivation Dao the King of Whales. In fact, almost all whales that have stepped into the Half-Saint Realm can take human form and land on land, and the Whale King level is even more terrifying......"
Wan Duming seemed to want to keep talking, but was interrupted by Wu Liangzi on the side: "Lord Chujun, after saying so much, has the country of Pu Prison come up with a solution?" Looking at Wu Liangzi's voice, the nine and a half people saw that Wu Liangzi, who was sitting alone just now, had quietly stood up, and several streams of green light on her head poured into her heavenly spirit, as if ten thousand things had returned to the origin and ten thousand laws had returned to the sect.
"No.....," Wan Duming whispered. Wan Duming is a good person, but he is not old enough, and he is actually a big child. When a big boy meets a big sister, he naturally takes it for granted.
"Then dare to ask Wu Xiaoxian Master to find a solution?" Jiu Ban did not speak, and it was Wei Xicheng who spoke. In addition to drinking, this person has another hobby, that is, listening to some strange things. Walking the rivers and lakes is actually very boring, in the eyes of ordinary people, except for silver, women, then there is nothing else. And for Wei Xicheng, the silver is not very important, it is good to be able to take care of the family; Maybe these two things were a little interesting in the past, but now they are not that important. So in fact, this time Wei Xicheng came out with Jiuhan, just to hear some stories that he had not heard before and to see some markets that he had never seen. The days of firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea have passed for a long time, and his restless heart has begun to feel uneasy again. At the end of the day, he found out what he was interested in and wanted to have some fun for himself.
Therefore, Wu Liangzi interrupted Wan Duming's words, of course he was a little unhappy.
It's just that Wu Liangzi didn't seem to have the idea of arguing with him, but said, "Guess, what is the reason for the whales to gather?"
Hearing Wu Liangzi's words, the three of them all widened their eyes and looked at the girl in front of them. I saw Wu Liangzi's hands wave slightly, and then the few strands of green that had just disappeared suddenly reappeared from her head, and then converged in front of her into something similar to a chart line chart, which was clearly displayed in front of Jiu Ban and the others. On that chart, it was clear to all that each increase in the number of whales was the time the bell in Bell City rang. In other words, every time the bell rings, the number of whales on the coast of the East China Sea increases dramatically.
As the chart was unfolded, under the stunned eyes of the nine half-guards and Wan Duming, Wu Liangzi said slowly: "You see, this horizontal line represents time, and the vertical line represents the number of whales. Every time the clock rings in Bell City, the number of whales increases dramatically, and when the bell does not ring, the number of whales does not increase, and sometimes decreases. Therefore, in fact, it is very likely that the bell ringing in Bell City is the reason for the increase in whales. ”
Looking at the chart that Wu Liangzi had made that glowed with green light, and listening to the very rational but never-before-heard words in her mouth, Wan Duming fell into a deep stupor. After a while, he reacted from it and said to Wu Liangzi: "Master Wu Xiaoxian, I understand everything you said, but where do you start with these words, what is this line you made, and what is it?"
Outside the tent, in the distance, by the sea, Hachiha stood here alone, constantly drawing a flat stone with his own brush, trying to hit the water under the impact of the waves.
But it's impossible.
Three hours passed, and Wan Duming stood on the shore of the East China Sea with his sword. In front of him, a whole line of well-equipped personal soldiers, each of whom consumed thousands of taels of silver for them every year just in terms of equipment, now gathered hundreds of them together and stood neatly in front of Wan Duming, facing the sea in unison, just to protect his safety.
The chirping of the whales on the sea was still coming and going, and this was the third hour that he had sent a herald to inform his father to stop ringing the bell, and the bell had disappeared for two hours, but the whales on the seashore did not seem to have any intention of retreating.
But fortunately, there was no increase.
Beside Wan Duming, the four of them were also anxiously waiting, they were all waiting for Wu Liangzi's conjecture to be verified, so that it seemed that the solution to the problem would be very simple.
Everyone was originally very curious about the scene that Wu Liangzi made that surprised them, but everything turned into a trivial matter in front of the whale attack and was automatically ignored. It's as if Lu Shu is hiding in the munitions depot and stealing wine and drinking at the moment, it's not that no one cares, but it's infinitely weakened.
So, four hours, five hours passed, and the whale's chirping seemed to be quieter.
As a result, by the time the sixth hour passed, not only had the whales' chirping almost disappeared, but some of the whales had gradually begun to swim away from the shores of the East China Sea. When he got the news of the whale's departure, Wan Duming collapsed almost directly on the shoreline, while almost everyone who was also stationed on the coastline hugged his head and cried.
The scourge that threatens a country can finally be solved.
Wan Duming, who collapsed on the ground, didn't wait for others to help him, he jumped up as soon as he jumped up, and he said to Wu Liangzi: "Master Wu Xiaoxian, if the whales only gather on the coastline of the East China Sea when they hear the bell, then could there be something wrong with the giant bell in my bell city?"
It seems that he has been prepared for a long time, Wu Liangzi replied: "Back to the prince, I think so too, it's better to ......"
"Why don't you invite Master Wu Xiaoxian to come to the palace and see what is wrong with this bell in my bell city!"
So everyone was happy, Wu Liangzi was invited to the palace to investigate, and everyone went together.
But the eight feathers on the side seemed to see a different color in Wu Liangzi's heart.
The color seems to be worrying.
In the palace, on the tower, next to the Fengtian Bell, a group of people gathered almost unprecedentedly. If Fengtian Bell was conscious, I am afraid that it would be able to feel that this is the largest number of people gathered around it since it appeared in this world.
Wu Liangzi stood in the closest position to the Fengtian Bell, her right hand was placed on the Fengtian Bell, and the bright green color on her body continued to turn into a drum and flow into the bell, and then returned. After going back and forth like this for nearly half an hour, Wu Liangzi's plain white clothes were all green, which made the monarch of Pu Jiao on the side a little worried. He quietly asked Jiu Ban, who was standing aside and chatting with Wei Xicheng, and said, "Jiu Ban Xian nephew, you said that Wu Xiaoxian Master is like this, will it be fine?"
Jiuhan seemed to be confident about Wu Liangzi's behavior, and he replied not very concerned: "It's okay, it's okay." Who is our Master Wu Xiaoxian? That's Master Shaohong's personal disciple, you can rest assured that you will be fine!"
The voice of the outside world fell into Wu Liangzi's ears almost word for word, but she almost didn't have the heart to listen to and analyze, on the contrary, her heart was full of worries.
The anxiety actually began in Wan Duming's tent by the sea. In the tent by the sea, Wu Liangzi knew through investigation that the problem appeared on the Fengtian Bell in this bell city. The whale is an animal that has a huge dependence on hearing and sound, and after a comparative analysis, Wu Liangzi is almost certain that someone has done something on the Fengtian Bell, and it is not ordinary people who do it. I am afraid that the purpose of using a country's heavy weapons is to destroy a country. As soon as he thought of this, Wu Liangzi was a little impatient to tell Wan Duming and the others all this. But in fact, because she was too anxious, she directly showed the line chart in front of everyone, and almost revealed her identity.
It is obvious that the line chart is by no means something that should appear on this continent, and Wu Liangzi does not belong to this continent. In essence, she and Nine-and-a-Half are just people.
The identity was almost exposed, which made Wu Liangzi uneasy, but what worried her more was the thing in front of her.
In fact, it didn't take half an hour for Wu Liangzi to explore a Fengtian bell. But at the first moment when he touched Fengtian Bell with his hand, Wu Liangzi's heart trembled fiercely. It was clear that she felt an absolutely familiar aura on the Fengtian Bell. Through this breath, she can be sure that there is indeed an extremely powerful warlock who has applied a spell to Fengtian Bell, causing Fengtian Bell to attract whales when it rings the bell, but this spell is like a black box, Wu Liangzi only knows the existence of this spell, but cannot know the principle of its operation.
But even if he didn't know the principle of its operation, that familiar feeling also gave Wu Liangzi a result in his heart. Because this feeling is absolutely not wrong, could she also feel wrong with Shaohong's breath?
However, Shaohong actually applied such a spell to the heavy weapon of a country in the country of Pulao, so the person who wanted to destroy the country of Pulao turned out to be Shaohong? Could it be that Shaohong also participated in the former Three Kingdoms Alliance?
Some terrible thought quickly took over Ryoko's heart. Fear, fear, malaise, and even evasion and other emotions are mixed together in Wu Liangzi's heart, as if a group of messy things are sealed in an old jar and want to make a family of wine, and this pot of wine is called five flavors and mixed ages.
Wu Liangzi failed to hide the many emotions in her heart, and she also ignored one thing, that is, there are people present who can see through people's hearts.
All her emotions are fully seen by Hachiyu, as naked as a child facing an adult.
