He looked at Shang Luo: "So, I'll leave this one to you, Shang Luo." Get the keys, and wind up your Vulcan core. ”

Shang Luo took the key.

He looked at Zhu Xianen: "Say. Senior brother, are we on the right path? Or something else? ”

"That's the only thing I'm sure of." Zhu Xianene said, "Our Tao has nothing to do with good and evil. The Yangtze River is clear, the Yellow River is turbid, and here are the lifeblood that nourishes hundreds of millions of people. We can only avoid partial use because the river is clear, and we can only avoid partial waste because of the turbidity of the Yellow River. Therefore, whether it is good or evil, it has nothing to do with us. As the Heavenly Court, what we have to do is to allow the Que Zhong, Ning and Yin and Yang, which is the way of Heaven. 】

Buzz –

The chime sounded. A self-explanatory "good saint grandson" is contained in it.

"Hmm" Shang Luo nodded, "Since everything is for the Heavenly Dao, then use it." It's not bad to be a bad guy once in a while. After all, the imperial court was not born for the sake of good talents. If you start from Dayu's control of the water, our court has been burdened with a mission since its birth - to unite all of us and face the problem of independent individuals. In the era of Dayu, it was a flood of overflow. In our time, that is, 'the son said on the river: the deceased is like a husband, reluctant to give up day and night. ’。 What we have to resist is the time when Confucius also sighed at the river. ”

"Do you think we can be regarded as people of Dayu's generation?"

"Huh." Shang Luo said with a smile, "How to pronounce that poem: If there is no water temple dragon boat matter, Gongyu will not have more merits - Dayu is not so difficult to learn, just Emperor Yang of Sui who does not engage in water temple dragon boats." In the final analysis, Dayu is also a human being, and there is nothing that cannot be learned. Chasing the ancient sages is the root of etiquette. ”

"Okay, well, then let's be the Ancient Sage King again. We've all caught up with the good times, and it's time to be virtuous~~"

"Then I'll take it back and use it?"

"Uh-huh." Zhu Xianene nodded and said, "By the way, how are you going to use it?" ”

"Whatever you want, you should use it to do that first."

After getting off work from the Golden Arches, Phaethon appeared at the door just in time. Before entering, she looked at the mailbox, took a slip, glanced at it, and sighed again.

"Shang Luo, look at this" She walked in the door, and the whole person was stupid.

All the lights in the house were on. The TV was also on, laundry and rice cooker, oven, all on. The electric heater was also on, and it wasn't very cold yet, but the temperature in the house had risen to the point where you could wear short sleeves.

Shang Luo, who was lying on the sofa, was looking sideways at the TV, and the little people on the TV were broadcasting the news.

"What? Is there something wrong? Fareton called out to him just now, and he looked up and replied.

"Electricity. You can't use electricity like that in the future. Just now, the power supply bureau sent a list, saying that the experimental power supply in the district has ended, and that every household will be equipped with an electricity meter soon, and the electricity bill will be charged from now on. This electricity bill is so expensive! According to your usage, you will have to use up eight or nine hundred dollars a month, or even more than a thousand dollars in electricity bills! ”

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." Shang Luo waved his hand, "We don't have electricity meters in our house." ”

"Are you going to return to your ancestors?"

"Tsk." He gestured to the table over there, "See for yourself." ”

"What's that? A grandfather clock? ”

A table clock is placed on the table. Typical of the Roman style, it was a writer's clock, and it was a very common gift. As soon as the winding is wound, the bell puppet on it can write a pre-programmed lettering. But this writer's clock is particularly exquisite, and at first glance it is not a casual gift shop, but a national gift. The base is also engraved with a golden monogram.

Phaela recognized the sign at the same glance. It was the coat of arms of Emperor Agasocles of the Valleologo-Isurian dynasty, the father of Victoria, as a state gift to Jusseene. And inside the casing of the table clock, it is contained

"That's . Omega-level Vulcan core!! How did this thing move! How to move! Wait, can you use it to connect to household electricity? You use it to steam your nest head??? ”

"Why not?"

"This thing is a national treasure! It's a national treasure! And the Vulcan core is dangerous! At present, Vulcan cores of this level are used for military purposes, and there are few in the entire Roman Empire. Why do you just use it to steam the nest? ”

"Then I should find an altar to worship and then steam the nest?"

"Wait. Huh! Wait! This usage is not right! Her eyes were focused on the writer's clock, and the bell puppet on it also looked at her. Beyond the limits of its mechanical structure, the puppet's neck twisted enough to meet her eyes, and it looked straight into Phaethon's eyes.

As soon as it was too late, Faethon put down the food he had bought, stepped forward a few steps, and pulled a strip of black cloth from the tablecloth, blindfolding the puppet.

"Whew, all right."

"That's how this clock is going to be used?"

"It could have been left out. But just in case, you have to blindfold the bell puppet above and don't let it move. This kind of thing is very dangerous, so how can you just give it as a gift? ”

"Good guy, you're a little crazy!"

"Dao Chief, are you still afraid of this? I'm afraid you won't wind it. It's up to you to use it yourself. ”

"Tsk, do you want to put on a formation? Or, can that Vulcan core be taken apart and used? ”

"Yes, yes, yes. But the puppet on that side is also very important. I covered its eyes just to keep it from squinting and not looking at things it shouldn't see. The puppet above is indispensable when you use it, because you have to use it to give commands. Hmmm"

Faetong stood beside him with his waist crossed: "This thing, no matter how you think about it, it's a bit dangerous. Are you sure you want to use it? Do you want Victoria to give you another exchange? For example, you can exchange some money. ”

"She's not a gift recycler. Besides, this thing is for the Ministry of Mines to use for office use, and it is not my personal property. I can't handle such a national gift casually. Experimenting and contributing to big plans is what we should be doing now. ”

"The help you mean is the steaming nest?"

"Tsk, keeping me working is an integral part of the big plan. Instead of that, you still lift your foot first, and you step on the wire. Let's go back and take a look at the wires here and tidy them up. And then. I'm going to see if I can carry this thing on my back. By the way, can I bring a grandfather clock with me during the exam? Is that okay? Okay, right? ”
