Chapter 150: Leng Zhuo's Secret Weapon - Hot Air Balloon
The bright moon was in the sky, the cold moonlight sprinkled on the dàng rippling water, shimmering with sparkling light, and in the lake, the boat cut through the floating moon, slowly moving towards the dark twilight.
On August 13, it had been ten days since they left Yangzhou City, and according to the distance on the itinerary, they had reached the middle of Taihu Lake, but it was unknown where they were.
The boat kept splitting the water, and the two sails on the boat were half opened, reducing the speed of the boat, and by the bright moon, you could vaguely see the hazy black shadows in the lake, like monsters with teeth and claws, mixed with the whimper of the night wind, which made people feel a little terrifying.
"There are two more days!" Leng Zhuo stood on the bow of the boat without sleep, facing the cold night wind, looking at the distant sky, the slight white light, the darkness had passed, and the dawn was in front of him.
"Hehe, aren't you nervous!" Gui Dong bent his waist and walked onto the deck, where he heard Leng Zhuo's low mutter, and stepped forward.
Leng Zhuo didn't look back: "Of course I'll be nervous, Làng spent so much time running to the center of this Taihu Lake, if there is no gain, it's not very weak!"
"It turned out to be nervous, but as long as it wasn't too unlucky, it should be very sure, after all, the location we went to was near two possible locations, even if we couldn't find one of them, we could reach the next location in seven or eight days!"
"I hope so!" Leng Zhuo said, turned his head again, looked at Gui Dong and said, "If you achieve your wish this time, do you have any plans!"
Gui Dong looked at Leng Zhuo in surprise, and said with a smile: "Didn't you invite me to you, what's the matter, I don't have confidence?"
Leng Zhuo shrugged his shoulders and said, "I still have confidence in keeping you, but I just asked you if you have any plans after settling down, if not, I will give you some advice!"
Gui Dong sighed: "I want to hear what advice you are going to give me!"
"How about opening a school, it's called Tortoiseshell Stream, if you are the founder of the mountain, maybe in a dozen or decades, you can become the fifteenth genre!" Leng Zhuo said half-jokingly.
"Hehe, the idea of opening the mountain and establishing the sect is good, but where is it so easy, although I have mastered an ancient rune, but I still have a long way to go if I want to open the mountain and establish the faction!" Although Gui Dong said this, he did not refuse, obviously quite moved by this proposal.
"If you can see that seven-star turtle this time, the runes will not be a problem, and then I will give you a mountain, and I will study those ancient runes for you, how about it!" Leng Zhuo said confidently.
Gui Dong looked at Leng Zhuo, not knowing where he got so much confidence: "If you can get it, it's not bad to be a pioneer of the mountain school!"
"Hehe, so you agreed?"
"Sort of, but everything is based on your if, otherwise the old man will turn his face and deny people!"
"Of course, but before that, there is one more condition!"
"On what terms?"
"Swear allegiance, you don't plan to just take, don't pay, there is no free lunch in the world!"
"Hmph, wait until you get the ancient rune to say!" Gui Dong didn't expect to be surrounded by this xiǎozi, turned around and went back to the cabin, while Leng Zhuo was looking at the sky, the rising sun, and the morning glow in the sky.
"Let's land on that island, I've been here before, there are no vicious monsters on the island, and there is a clear spring in the forest, which is just the right place to camp!" Gui Dong pointed to an island in front of him.
The island is not big, and a number of nearby xiǎo islands form a chain of pearls, scattered in the lake, that piece of forest, it is better to say that it is a piece, it is better to say that it is one, the huge water king banyan has countless air roots, each root will grow into a tree, the clear spring, is not gushing out from the ground, but from the trunk of the water king banyan, Yan sè is a light green sè liquid, slightly sweet.
After setting up the camp, Leng Zhuo was not idle, and let people carry out several huge wooden boxes in the bottom bilge of the ship and put them in an open space, this thing is not only Zhao Yun and Li Yuanba are curious, but also other people are extremely curious.
"Dade, open the box, let you see my secret weapon today, as long as the seven-star turtle appears nearby, I can find it immediately, the ancient rune, it's just at your fingertips!"
Listening to Leng Zhuo's bold words, a group of people in the camp immediately gathered around, except for those slaves, most of these people were psychics of the Leng family, and they all looked curiously at the silk silk piled up like a mountain, as well as the strange-shaped iron guy, this thing could be a secret weapon?
Leng Zhuo looked at a group of uninformed soil buns, especially the old man Gui also showed a trace of incomprehension, and his sè was overflowing, at this moment, Leng Zhuo finally raised his eyebrows, my brother came through time, how dare he call himself a traveler if he didn't have any skills.
"Weave a rattan basket, go, weave a big basket out of rattan, it must be strong!"
"Young master, what are you doing here!"
"Hehe, you'll know later!" Leng Zhuo sold a pass.
The rattan basket is not difficult, more than a dozen slaves have fast hands and feet in less than a xiǎo to produce a large rattan basket with a length and width of four meters, and it is enough to sleep in it, and at this time, Leng Zhuo has already let people unfold the rolled silk silk, I have to say that the weavers in Yangzhou are unparalleled in the world, the fine silk is actually a fight with the machine, absolutely dense, and these silk cloths have also done some special treatment, so the breathability xìng has also become very bad, but for Leng Zhuo, it is no better.
As for the iron guy, it was a double-necked huā bottle-like thing, the lid at the top was wide-mouthed, and there were two crane-necked beaks on both sides, with lids at the top, and two bellows connected at the bottom, which were everywhere in the blacksmith's shop, used to push air, and the huge belly pouch was divided into two layers, the lower layer was convenient for air circulation, and the middle was blocked by a partition with a perforated dòng, and the upper part could be placed with firewood.
The wood is the most burn-resistant, high-heat smoked wood, this wood is smoked, after ignition, a large amount of smoke with heat will be released, the iron huā bottle is placed in the rattan basket, and then fixed in the rattan basket with the iron chain around it, after it is done, Leng Zhuo asked people to move the smoked wood that had been moved out a long time ago, and put it into the pot-bellied iron huā bottle.
"Tie those sandbags and tie the ropes!" Leng Zhuo said, letting a torch be thrown into the huā bottle, the smoke wood has been soaked in wine, and it is easy to light after drying, only to see the torch thrown in, and suddenly a raging flame ignites, and after a while, there is green smoke coming out, and the smoke is getting thicker and thicker.
Green smoke continued to pour into the huge silk cloth bag from the mouth of the bottle, and gradually, the silk cloth bag lying on the ground also began to bulge, Leng Zhuo asked a few slaves to turn back and pull the bellows, so that the hot smoke continued to pour in, and gradually the silk cloth bag had floated up, and stood upright towards the sky.
A quarter of an hour has passed, two quarters of an hour have passed, looking at the hot air balloon that has begun to float up slightly, but it has never been able to leave the ground, the joy on Leng Zhuo's face can no longer be hidden, and the worries that were still there before suddenly disappeared, the principle of the hot air balloon is not difficult, but Leng Zhuo has never made it, and this is the first time.
"Who dares to go to the sky with me!" Leng Zhuo jumped directly into the rattan basket and faced the people around him.
Zhao Yun and Li Yuanba have always been inseparable from Leng Zhuo, so they naturally went up, and Gui Dong hesitated for a moment and also went up.
"What's so scary, I'll come!" Li Jie said and climbed up.
"Enough, five people, I don't know if I can float!" Although the five people are not heavy, they add up to four or five hundred kilograms, the first time they take off, Leng Zhuo is naturally conservative, try to go to the sky first.
"Untie a few of the sandbags that are tied, and the people below you will hold the ropes, don't take off the hook!" Leng Zhuo commanded.
The sandbags were dropped one by one, and the hot air balloon was suddenly light, and the rattan basket that fell on the ground shook slightly, and actually rose slowly: "Dade, puff up, continue to throw sandbags!"
The billowing green smoke continued to pour into the silk bag, and the colorful sè, as if it had hit countless patches, slowly rose into the sky, ten meters, twenty meters, thirty meters, fifty meters, eighty meters, until it reached more than two hundred meters, the rope tied to it was straightened, and the hot air balloon stopped rising.
Leng Zhuo stood on the hot air balloon, took out two telescopes from his arms, took one for himself, and looked around, sure enough, he was standing high and looking far away, standing on the hot air balloon, the surrounding scenery of the island where they were located was in full view, and the wind and grass in the surrounding waters could not escape the eyes in the sky.
"This, this is ......" shocked, the faces of several people around Leng Zhuo were full of shock, human beings yearn for the sky, they can fly like xiǎo birds, but those who can really fly into the sky are said to be only those psychics who have reached the level of the Holy Spirit, of course, there are not no other ways to go to the sky, such as the royal mén can capture flying demonic beasts, but the demonic beasts that can carry people to fly are all fierce high-level demonic beasts, where is it easy to catch.
"This is my secret weapon, how about it, just make do with it!"
Although Gui Dong didn't want to admit it, he had to admit that this guy was a weird, how could he come up with these things, from the sky, they could see the back of the Seven Star Xuan Turtle, which meant that they could see more ancient runes, and this xiǎo cylinder, it was simply amazing that it could magnify things in the distance.
Although psychics have the help of spiritual power, their ears and eyes are clear, and they can see things far away, but the ancient runes are not simple symbols, and the spiritual power induction in front of the sub-god-level seven-star Xuantian Turtle is simply a class ménnòng axe, and the arrival of the strong above the heavenly spirit will also cause the active attack of the seven-star Xuantian Turtle.
But now, the question that has been entangled in Gui Dong no longer seems to be a problem, he is also thinking, if that seven-star Xuan Turtle appears here, then how many ancient runes will they gain this time, just thinking about it, the blood in Gui Dong's body began to boil.
God treats him well, and he can achieve his wish in his lifetime, and even far beyond, Gui Dong's gaze at Leng Zhuo has changed a little, this child's body is full of magic, just follow him, maybe you can see more miracles happen, Gui Dong said secretly in his heart.
