Chapter 195: Good Luck Slope's Courtyard
"Can't find any information?" Wan Chaoxin looked at the information that had just come and said with a frown.
"I can't find it, according to your description, I checked all the forces that may create that level of magic costume, and I haven't found it for the time being." The woman in the peacock mask said.
"Didn't you find it over there in Space City and White Night City either?" Wan Chaoxin put down the information in his hand, looked at the peacock and asked.
"The eyeliner has been repeatedly verified, their current research focus is on multi-core magic suits, the initial investment is quite huge, and there have been quite good results, there should be no time, energy and funds to study other projects, judging from the magic suits you said, they can use extremely powerful magic weapons without any physical connection, they have not yet developed this technology." Peacock replied.
"What about the meeting?" Wan Chaoxin asked again.
"It's not easy to check in the meeting, the magic suit group and us are two systems, except for Vice President Bai, only the president of the magic suit group has the right to access their information." Peacock replied.
"What did Du Juan say?" Wan Chaoxin groaned.
"What Du Juan means is that there are a lot of research results on the side of the magic costume group, and he can't be sure if there is the magic costume technique you mentioned." Peacock said.
"I can't be sure, that is to say, it is possible, let Du Juan keep an eye on it, and if there are any clues, the news will be transmitted back as soon as possible."
"Yes, I'll go and convey your order to Du Juan." Peacock got up and left Wan Chaoxin's office.
"Neither Space City nor White Night City can make this kind of magic costume, so it can only be that the people in the magic costume group are playing ghosts, who is having trouble with me?" Wan Chaoxin frowned and thought.
In another room, Bai Ying and Li Qingyin were also struggling with the same problem.
"What did Uncle Bai say?" Li Qingyin looked at Bai Ying, who had just come back, and asked.
"My dad said it's impossible, no one has been able to create a magic weapon that doesn't require a physical connection, and if it can burst out with that level of magic light, it must be a magic weapon with super spiritual energy, and at present, there is only one magic suit laboratory that can use super spirit energy, and there is only one on the side of the magic suit, and they have never made that kind of magic suit." Bai Ying took a breath before saying.
"That's strange, even the magic suit team can't make that kind of magic costume, where did that magic costume master come from? It can't fall from the sky, can it? Li Qingyin frowned.
"My dad said, you can try to start from Space City or White Night City, if anyone is likely to research that kind of magic costume, except for the magic costume group, there are only these two places, and the other magic costume manufacturing bases simply don't have such research and development capabilities and levels." Bai Ying hurriedly said again.
"Did Uncle Bai mention the City of Light?" Li Qingyin thought for a while and asked.
"How did you know my dad mentioned the City of Light?" Bai Ying was a little surprised.
"What did Uncle Bai say?" Li Qingyin didn't answer Bai Ying and continued to ask.
"My dad said that the magic costume worn by the frost leaf magic costume master should be transformed based on the ghost face demon costume, and the transformation level is quite good, and that frost leaf can use the hand of God, it is likely to be the person who fought with God in Tailuo City, he really wants to know what the final outcome of the battle between Frost Leaf and God will be." Bai Ying said.
"Is it possible that the costumer who took away the Transcendent Gem is also from the City of Light?" Li Qingyin said with a deep groan.
"It's impossible, my dad said, you can't make a magic costume like that in a broken place like the City of Light. Even the modified ghost-faced demon costume is from the Space City One laboratory nine times out of ten. Bai Ying pursed her lips and said with some disdain.
She didn't have a good impression of Li Xiu, even the City of Light.
"It's also said that in order to study such a magic costume, there must be a lot of technical problems to be solved, and there is not enough technical accumulation to create such a magic costume, I really want to know who made such a magic costume." Li Qingyin sighed.
"That's not simple, in addition to the magic costume group, there are only Space City and White Night City left, go to these two places and take a walk, there should be an answer." Bai Ying said with a smile.
"It's not that simple, Guan Jinghao has always had a bad relationship with us, and you know the situation in White Night City, even if we go, it will be impossible to get the answer we want." Li Qingyin shook his head.
Although she said that it was for these reasons, Li Qingyin always felt that something was wrong in her heart, and she didn't know why, she always felt that the magic costume master might have some kind of connection with the City of Light.
Li Qingyin herself felt that this possibility was very small, but she just couldn't help but have this thought.
"I remember that Chu Jun should be the son of the White Night City Lord, right?" Li Qingyin thought for a while and said.
"Yes, I really don't know what that guy thinks, I heard that the Lord of the White Night City wants Chu Jun to inherit the position of the Lord of the White Night City, but he is reluctant to take over, he has to be a trialist, and he is tossing around outside alone, it is said that he is the big boss behind the City of Light, that Li Xiu is just a nominal city lord, which is used by Chu Jun to hide people's eyes and ears." Bai Ying pursed her lips, as if she was very disapproving.
"Let's go, let's go to White Night City." Li Qingyin stood up as he said and walked towards the door.
"You suspect that the costume was made by White Night City?" Bai Ying hurriedly followed.
"Maybe." Li Qingyin couldn't be sure, but she always felt that something had something to do with it.
……
Accompanied by Chu Jun, Li Xiu hurried to White Night City, and after entering the area of White Night City, Chu Jun has been introducing Li Xiu to the customs and customs of various places.
The sphere of influence of White Night City is not smaller than that of Space City, and the entire Southern Cross Federation combined, I am afraid that it is not as large as the sphere of influence of White Night City.
It's a pity that White Night City has such a large sphere of influence, but there are not many veins that produce gemstones, especially the five major colored treasure mines are very scarce.
And in the territory of White Night City, there are few things about trialists, and there are industries related to magic costumes everywhere.
Most of the toys held by children on the side of the road are star-level magic dolls.
The Demon Costume Experience Store and the Demon Costume Master Talent Test Center can be seen everywhere, and now the Demon Spirit Contest is so popular, but in the territory of White Night City, it is rare to see the news of the Demon Spirit Competition, and no one holds the Demon Spirit Contest here.
The closer this situation is to the main city of White Night City, the more serious it is, and in the Southern Cross Federation, you can occasionally see trialists, but after walking here for so long, you haven't even seen a trialist.
"Don't look at it, the situation here is similar to that of Space City, it's basically difficult to see shops related to trialists, except for gem shops, there are almost nothing related to trialists here." Chu Ying sighed.
"Isn't it good, such a huge market is waiting for us to develop." Li Xiu said with a smile.
"You want to promote the Demon Contest here? Then you better kill me first, if you really do that, the old man will be the first to slaughter me. Chu Jun hurriedly said.
"That's not necessarily, maybe the old man also wants to hold a demon spirit competition?" Li Xiu said with a smile.
"It's impossible." Chu Jun said categorically.
"Let's talk about this later, do you want to go home first or go to the good luck slope with me first?" It was almost time to reach the main city of White Night City, Li Xiu looked at the place, and the good luck slope was dozens of miles south of the main city.
"I'd better go with you to the Good Luck Slope first, lest you make any moths." Chu Jun paused, and said depressedly: "To be honest, I'm really a little afraid of going home, after I finished the Demon Spirit Contest with you, the old man was about to go crazy, and scolded me on the phone, I have never seen him so angry with me since I was a child." ”
"Don't be afraid, when you come back from the Good Luck Slope, I will accompany you to see the old man." Li Xiu said.
"We'll talk about it then." Chu Jun thought to himself: "If you go, if the old man doesn't break your leg, even if your ancestor has accumulated great virtue." ”
When the two of them came to the Good Luck Slope, Li Xiu couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Originally, Li Xiu thought that the good luck slope should be a mountain, at least a hill, but what he saw was really a big slope.
The slopes are covered with grass and wildflowers, and although there are no tall trees, a few dwarf trees are scattered in between.
Between the flowers and plants, you can see a large courtyard surrounded by a wooden wall in the distance, the courtyard walls are made of logs, the natural bark is decorative, plus the wooden wall is full of good luck, if it weren't for knowing in advance how terrible the people living here are, Li Xiu thought that this was a place for a tourist vacation.
The two men followed a path paved with cobblestones on the grassy slope to the gate of the courtyard.
Fortunately, the owner of this yard is not a real antique, although this yard is built simple and natural, there is a feeling of unity between nature and man, but the doorbell is installed on the gate, and the natural wind is not brought into full play.
After Li Xiu pressed the doorbell, the two of them were waiting outside the door.
After a long while, he didn't hear any movement in the courtyard, and Li Xiu rang the doorbell for the second time.
As a result, no one came to open the door, and Chu Jun said, "Could it be that the master is not at home?" ”
"Let's try again, if it doesn't work, let's go back." Li Xiu rang the doorbell again.
If no one has opened the doorbell three times, it should be that the owner of the house is unwilling to see him, and it is useless to stay longer.
Li Xiu was already hopeless, but who knew that after the third doorbell, the door creaked open.
The strange thing is that they didn't see a human figure inside the gate, and they didn't hear footsteps before, and the gate actually opened by itself.
"In broad daylight, there won't be ghosts, right?" Chu Jun looked into the courtyard in disbelief and said.
"Are you seeing too much supernatural things, where did the ghost come from in broad daylight, this should be a smart electric door." Li Xiu saw that there were no complex buildings such as pavilions and pavilions in the courtyard, and there were no elegant things such as fish ponds and rockeries, and most of the huge courtyard was still grassy, dotted with a few low trees.
"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"
Because there is a row of bamboos planted directly opposite the gate, the long green jade of the row of bamboos is verdant, like a jade screen, and it is difficult to see the wooden houses inside the bamboo.
"Please forgive me for taking the liberty of disturbing, can the master be at home?" Li Xiu stood outside the door and didn't go in, and said loudly into the courtyard.
"The host is not here, there is a guest here, I have tea here, if you don't dislike it, you can have a drink together." In the wooden house behind the bamboo, a man's voice was heard.
"The master is not here, so we still don't bother." Li Xiu said and turned around and prepared to leave.
Although he really wanted to go in and find Sui Hou Zhu, how could there be a reason in this world that the host was not at home and the guest picked up the guest on behalf of the host.
This in itself is a miracle, and there may be something strange in it.
Li Xiu and Chu Jun just wanted to leave, but they heard the people inside continue: "The master here, I may not come back once in ten or eight years, I have lived here for decades, speaking of which, I am also half a master, since you have rang the doorbell three times, it means that you must be here for something, you might as well tell me about it, maybe it can help you." ”
Li Xiu and Chu Jun glanced at each other, and they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
"It's really strange today, the host comes back once in ten or eight years, and a guest stays for decades, who is the host and who is the guest?" Li Xiu said with a smile.
The people in the wooden house also smiled and said: "This is not a strange thing, some people spend hundreds of thousands of wives to marry and don't use them themselves, isn't there someone to do it for them?" Someone has raised a son for decades, maybe he is also someone else's son, and a house is nothing. ”
"That's right, what do you call you?" Li Xiu asked.
"When I was young, people called me Baye, but now that I'm old, I'm getting younger, and some people call me Xiaoba, the world is so wonderful, you can call it whatever you want." The man continued: "It's quite troublesome to talk like this, but I'm half a master, and I still have the right to invite you in for a cup of tea." ”
"Eighth master, then we might as well be respectful." Li Xiu originally wanted to go in, but he had already reached this point, so naturally there was no reason to go again.
Li Xiu and Chu Jun entered the courtyard, bypassed the screen-like bamboo, and saw the three wooden houses in the back.
The three wooden houses are also interesting, the wooden houses on the left are painted with red paint, the wooden houses on the right are painted with blue paint, and the wooden houses in the middle are not painted at all, which is the original color of the wood.
The doors of the mahogany and bluewood houses were closed, but the door of the log house in the middle was open, and a small low wooden table was placed in the door, and a middle-aged man was sitting on the floor, eating a bowl of noodles.
"There is tea in the teapot on the table, and the cup is in the cabinet next to it, pour it yourself." The eighth master said while eating noodles.
Li Xiu and Chu Jun both thought that this eighth master was very interesting, but he had said that he was so old before, and when he saw a real person, he looked like a middle-aged man in his thirties and forties, not as old as he imagined.
Li Xiu was not polite, walked to the cabinet next to him and took out two teacups made of bamboo, gave one to Chu Jun, walked to the low table and sat on the ground, lifted the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Chu Jun and himself.
However, Li Xiu didn't drink it, but just held it in his hand, as if it was a hand warmer.
"Eighth Master, why have you been a guest here for so long?" Li Xiu looked at the eighth master and asked.
This eighth master, although he is a little older, his appearance and temperament are still excellent, so it can be seen that he must be a man who doesn't know how many women have been killed when he is old.
Even now, I'm afraid there are many young girls who like this kind of uncle with an elegant temperament.
It's just such an uncle, but he was snoring and eating there with a bowl of noodles, so much so that his temperament and image were lowered a lot of ratings at once.
"I wanted to leave, but the host was too enthusiastic, and he had to keep me here, so I had to stay longer." The eighth master held the bowl and swallowed the noodles in his mouth before he said with a smile.
"There are still such hospitable people in the world, let guests live in their own homes for decades, what kind of family is this?" Chu Jun couldn't help but ask.
"You may not believe it, the owner of this house is a beauty, and a big beauty, I have seen some beautiful women before, but the women I have seen before, even the women who are known as stunning, in front of this hostess, can only be regarded as rouge vulgar fans, if I didn't see it with my own eyes, I would never believe that there is such a beautiful woman in the world." Before I met her, I always thought that the poems written in the poem were all about the poverty and obscenity of those literati, but when I saw her, I knew that there was really such a beautiful thing in the world. ”
"What is the city and the country? If you can get the favor of such a woman, even if you give her the whole earth, I am afraid that you will have to worry that people will not accept it. The eighth master said.
Li Xiu secretly said in his heart: "Send the earth? It's really a shame that you think of it, isn't this the ultimate licking dog? I can't see that this dignified eighth master is still a licking dog. ”
"It turns out that the eighth master is the hostess here, so you don't leave here, and you forcibly want to be a guest, what kind of woman can make the eighth master so fascinated." Chu Jun came to be interested.
The eighth master listened to Chu Jun's words, rolled his eyes and said: "The dog doesn't want to go, no matter how beautiful a woman is, how can she compare to the sea and sky outside, if I could go, I would have left a long time ago." ”
"What you said, the master is not at home, and this door is not locked, if you really want to leave, who can pull you away?" Chu Jun said in disbelief.
"Forget it, don't mention it." Starling picked up the noodles and took two more bites, swallowed them before he spoke again, "What are you two doing here?" Judging by the way you look, something must have come here, right? ”
"We want to come here to find something." Li Xiu said.
"It's really strange to come here to find something, what are you looking for?" The eighth master became interested, put the bowl on the table, wiped his mouth with the back of his hand and asked.
"A bead, a bead that shines at night." Li Xiu said with a smile.
"The bead you're talking about, isn't that?" The eighth master raised his hand and pointed upward.
