Longjiang Shipyard, Lianshan. Since Shangraku returned to Kinai, the Renshan has been under construction, and it has not yet been launched.

And standing next to it, you can see that the construction period for this ship to be launched is probably quite long.

He wasn't actually in the dry dock. In order to reduce the stress on the slipway, the Lianshan had already been launched and had been immersed in the water.

Longjiang Shipyard and Longjiang Base are all in the Yangtze River. The fresh water of the Yangtze River does not corrode the hull of ships like seawater, and it is much easier to maintain.

Even though it's been an unknown how long it's been since it was launched, the Renshan's hull is still new – of course, this has to do with the fact that people wipe it down regularly. Even now, there are people wiping and doing routine maintenance. Shang Luo felt that this thing was just rubbing it every day, and it was hard to grind the whole ship into it.

The ship now looks fine. I am afraid that the delay in entering the water is due to some invisible reasons. If you can't see it, it's not so easy to answer.

"Your Majesty the Son of Heaven." Under the gangway next to the battleship, a brocade guard stood there. He has a "one" on his helmet with Velcro.

"Introduction, Li Yi, the head of the Thirteen Taibao. Guarding the most important places in the entire Kinai. ”

"The most important place?" Shang Luo raised his head, "Is this the ship?" ”

"This is the ship." Zhu Xianene nodded, "To be precise, it is the most important thing for the imperial court. Because up and down for 5,000 years, there are more important places. But for this dynasty, at the moment, it is here that is the most important. This Lianshan. ”

"Why?"

"Boss Li, you come and tell him."

"Because when necessary, this Zhuxian ship can punish immortals."

"Zhu Xian? What immortals? Shang Luo was surprised.

This time, it was Zhu Xianene who answered: "What we want to kill is the Evil Sword Immortal." ”

"Evil Sword Immortal? What is that? ”

"You'll know when you come up. Dao Ancestor is waiting for you above. ”

He motioned for Li Yi to lead the way in front, and the two of them climbed the gangway behind.

The deck was paved with teak and kept to look like a battleship in service. There was no abnormal sound when I walked up. And the door to the ship island, there are also people inside who have opened it in advance - there are no sailors here, all of them are Jinyi guards. Because before it was delivered to the army, it belonged to the imperial property and was disposed of by the royal family.

"Sometimes, my money is spent in a lot of strange places like a bottomless pit." While walking in the corridor, Zhu Xianene muttered.

"But you can't spend it, right?"

"Yes, so my pocket money is earned by myself, and I don't go to the inner library to apply, so I can save some trouble. I don't want to beg for food all day to get by. As he spoke, Zhu Xianene suddenly turned around, "Actually, there is something I don't know if you have noticed." Have you noticed that people always call me 'His Majesty the Son of Heaven', doesn't that sound a little weird? ”

"Oh yes." Shang Luo nodded, "I haven't asked, but because I haven't called it myself, I haven't responded after a long time." But the full title of the honorific title should be His Majesty the Holy Emperor of Heaven? Down, it's His Majesty the Emperor. The words of the Son of Heaven are like a separate title. But why call His Majesty the Son of Heaven? ”

"In the final analysis, it's because the emperor called me the Son of Heaven - to expand it, my elders called me the Son of Heaven. My mother called me the Son of Heaven, and my grandmother called me the Son of Heaven. When I went to ask for peace in the morning, I said, 'Son of Heaven, buy a ticket for me', 'Son of Heaven, do something for me', 'Son of Heaven, do something for me', 'Son of Heaven, do you want to go to Tangshan Hot Springs'. The Son of Heaven is used here in place of my name, because it is not quite right to call me by my name, so from the perspective of the elders, calling the Son of Heaven means calling my name. ”

"What does His Majesty mean by the Son of Heaven?"

"It's just to call you 'Shang Luo', it's similar to this. Because the title of work is the most formal, 'His Majesty the Emperor of the Holy Son of Heaven' is the honorific title of my position, just like someone calls you 'the ruler of the world'. But on less formal occasions, it's weird to always call you a position, just like Qi Yuan of your team won't call you 'Zhishijun' all day long. ”

"Ah, so it's called His Majesty the Son of Heaven, is it a compromise?"

"Yes, eclectic name, it's more everyday. My mother calls me the Son of Heaven, and at work I call it 'His Majesty the Emperor', and I usually compromise it, I call it 'His Majesty the Son of Heaven'. This is generally Jinyiwei, and the elders of the pavilion call it that, because they are the ones who communicate with me verbally all day long - of course, Zhu Ling is the only one who has no words, and only she calls me brother. ”

"I remember it was 'Brother Brother Brother.'"

"When she called me that, it gave me a headache. But all in all, as you can see, I'm a genius at work. But in fact, everyone is their own person, right? There's no need to be so serious. But why? ”

He looked at Shang Luo.

"Because. Is it your own person? ”

"Well, that's it. There is no need to be too restrictive. Like our family is full of fathers and mothers, brothers and sisters shout like this. To put it mildly, everyone is their own person. What 'His Majesty the Holy Emperor of Heaven', listen to me and I am also numb. If Zhu Ling calls me 'Eldest Brother, His Majesty the Emperor!! Then she didn't know if she was stabbing some big man to let me clean it up—but we did it because the etiquette itself is used to distinguish between superiority and inferiority. We don't need to discern now because our homes are safe. ”

“.” Shang Luo pondered for a moment, "So at work, you have to call your position." It means that when working, you must be disciplined in order to get things done well, and you must be nervous. When you are not working, can you be more lively? ”

"Look, look." He said to Li Yi in front of him, "This is a smart person, and it is convenient to talk to a smart person." ”

"So." Shang Luo then asked, "So the biggest threat that can get all of us into a working state and make our homes unsafe is the Evil Sword Immortal?" ”

Silently, Zhu Xianene nodded. I also looked up at the front, and there was an elevator in front of it.

"There's an elevator on this ship? Is this a hostel? ”

"There's an ice cream machine in the restaurant, so try it before you go." After entering the elevator, Zhu Xianene pressed the button to go to the third floor.

The third floor is the location of the armored command, which is protected on all sides by armor plates. Behind the headquarters, a room about the size of the headquarters was located in the middle of the island.

Zhu Xianene took out the key, and Li Yi took out another one. Both keys unlock at the same time and the door opens.

The door opens from the side and there is a smell of sandalwood in the door. Sitting north and facing south, is a shrine. The tablet in front of the shrine is densely written with a long list of god names, ending with "Emperor of Longevity". On the wall behind the shrine, there is a portrait of an old man in a white robe. The old man turned his back to the crowd and sat in the ashram, on a golden platform.

Following Zhu Xianene to salute the shrine, Zhu Xianene turned around: "This is the first time you have seen the shrine of the imperial ancestor, right?" ”

"Hmm. I've never seen it outside of Yuxi Palace. So, here it is."

"Before the Emperor said to come, let you look at the painting opposite."

"On the other side?" Shang Luo looked back and saw that there was indeed a painting hanging on the wall opposite the shrine. But it's not an elegant painting, it's like a propaganda poster in a pictorial. There is a circular hole in the middle of the black picture, and in the middle of the round hole is a crosshair, as if aiming at something with the muzzle of a gun. And in the middle of the crosshair, there is a figure.

The figure, with white hair and red eyes, was wearing a black uniform, and there was a streamer of light under his feet. Take a closer look at the face—

"It's . I??? Shang Luo was stunned, "The Evil Sword Immortal turned out to be me?" ”

"It's another possible you." Zhu Xianene also looked at the painting, "Do you have a count of your own strength?" Think about it, if you use your own strength against the imperial court, wouldn't this be the greatest disaster for the imperial court? However, you didn't really do it—if you did, then you would be an evil sword fairy to us. If you don't do this, you will be the ruler of the Xuanmen with the Sword Immortal Dao. He pointed to his feet:

"This Zhuxian ship was built when you were born, and we didn't know who you were. She's the same age as you. If the emperor doesn't bless you and you stand opposite us, we will have to bombard you with it. Of course, this will not happen in the future. As he spoke, Zhu Xianene untied a small golden sword from his waist and handed it to Shang Luo:

"Now, she's yours, and it's the key to the Lianshan. Are you planning to give the Renshan another name? Or is it just called this? It's all up to you. Dao Ancestor's Xuan Altar can also be withdrawn, and it is quite a hindrance to be left here. Li Yi doesn't leave, he is still running errands on this ship, and he can arrange something on this ship, or if you want to change someone else to be the head of the Thirteen Taibao. Also, if you want, you can convert this room into an activity room for the Ministry. Anyway, it's good for you to decide, take the sword. You're ready to hit the water. ”

"Wait, get into the water? Isn't this ship already in the water? ”

"It's not the water, it's an analogy." He pointed to the sky, "The Lianshan will fly." Want to take a test flight? ”
