Chapter 15, the wealthy Shuangshu

On the seventh day of the first month, early in the morning, Qingshi came to Liangyuan Post Station and boarded the first flying train to Mingshan City, the capital of the New Year.

Mingshan City is located about 4,000 miles to the southeast, and it takes two days to get there. There were only 12 people in the car, and there were even fewer cars and horses on the road, and the road was basically plain, and the speeding cars were running fast.

On the seventh day of the first month, he rested for one night at the Sidingcheng Station, and at dusk on the eighth day of the first month, the flying car arrived at Mingshan City.

Qingshi got off the flying car, but did not enter the city, but came to the spaceship station on the east side of the post station, on the way to the bluestone asked the coachman about it, the flying car sent to Chaoge, the capital of the Tianlong Empire, has two flights a day, and the spaceship only has one flight every five days.

The capital of the Heavenly Dragon Dynasty is 11,000 miles away in the south, not only is the road far away, but there are two large mountain ranges, seven or eight small mountain ranges and more than a dozen large and small rivers in the middle, and the speeding car needs to travel for seven days and nights, while the spaceship can reach it in only one day and one night.

Of course, this is all theoretical time, in fact, flying cars often encounter rain and snow, roads and bridges are broken, and spaceships can also encounter violent storms and rain to hinder the journey.

Qingshi came to the spaceship station, inquired that there would be a flight to Chaoge City tomorrow, and immediately booked a cabin, and stayed at the post inn that night.

The next morning, the sky was sunny and cloudy, and Qingshi checked out of the inn and walked into the spaceship station. Walking through the station hall to the dock, a huge ship suddenly appeared in front of me, yes, a boat.

The ship is moored in an artificial lake. It is nearly 30 zhang long, about 6 zhang at the widest point, the two ends of the hull are slowly narrowed and the tip is slightly upturned, the side of the ship is about three zhang above the water, and the draft is more than one zhang deep.

There are three levels of cabins on the inboard deck, ranging from twenty to thirty rooms on each floor, with fore and aft decks, and two levels of cabins below deck.

The entire ship is made of wood, with metal embedded in some places. There are no mast sails on deck, and the whole ship looks simple and clean.

The side of the hull is inlaid with a row of rings with a metallic luster, slightly convex, about six feet in diameter and three feet in diameter, and there are twelve of them from head to tail, arranged at neat intervals. If you turn to the other side, you will see that the other side of the ship is the same, and in fact there are these rings on the bottom of the boat, but you can't see it now.

At this time, people had already boarded the ship one after another, and Qingshi walked towards the spaceship with a dozen people in front or behind.

The spacecraft was moored next to the dock neatly stacked with large stones, and a gangplank stretched out from a door hole in the middle of the hull to the dock shore, and the passengers came to the gangplank, holding the ticket and checking it by two staff members, and then walked into the ship from the gangplank.

There were a few people in the front row checking the tickets in order, and Qingshi stepped aside to observe the rings on the hull.

These rings are undoubtedly the driving device of the spaceship, I don't know what kind of metal they are made of, bluestone guesses it should be alloy, the rings are etched with many stripes, at first glance they look like decorative patterns, but in fact they are the patterns of the magic circle.

Qingshi was fascinated by it, and heard someone behind him: "This handsome guy is a formation mage, he looks so attentive, hey!" Let's sail! A chuckle like a silver bell followed.

Qingshi looked back, but there was a large group of people, some old and young, more than a dozen, all dressed in brocade clothes, obviously from a big family. There were two fourteen-year-old girls and a twelve-thirteen-year-old boy who were surrounded by others and walked in front, obviously of noble status.

The girl on the left is wearing a pale yellow dress, with a beautiful appearance and gentle temperament, while the girl on the right is wearing a red dress, with a pretty appearance and flamboyant demeanor, and is obviously the main voice of the voice.

Seeing Qingshi turn her head, the girl in red turned her head and pretended to be nothing, and the girl in yellow smiled apologetically at Qingshi, but she didn't speak, and a group of people kept boarding the boat.

Qingshi smiled faintly, turned around and continued to study the driving formation, until the staff over there shouted hello before he walked over to check the ticket and board the ship. After boarding, Bluestone did not enter the cabin, and stood on the wide foredeck to watch the spaceship take off.

After a while, the springboard was retracted and the doorway closed. Then the sides of the ship began to glow with a faint white light, and it was the metal rings that glowed, and there was a slight vibration at the bottom of the hull, and a slight buzzing sound, and then the ship began to float upwards.

As the ship floated out of the water and rose, the hull of the ship rattled and flowed downward, and the huge hull levitated in the air slowly turned.

After the bow pointed south, the ship stopped turning and began to fly forward as it ascended, getting faster and faster.

Then, a transparent energy wall film rose from the side of the ship and the top of the cabin, and the wall film emitted by the side of the ship rose upward, and soon fused with the wall film that spread outward from the top of the cabin, forming a complete energy barrier, completely enveloping the entire deck and cabin of the ship.

And once the energy enchantment is completed, the energy wall membrane will also be hidden, as if it has disappeared, and it will never be seen again.

The ship quickly ascended, and soon flew through the clouds towards the south.

Bluestone stood on the bow deck of the ship, watching the sea of clouds roll and retreat under his feet, occasionally revealing the green sky of the earth between the clouds, the river like a belt, and the distant snow peaks piercing out of the clouds to reflect the sun.

After being filtered by the energy barrier, the wind was gently blowing, the sunlight was much softer, and the vibration and hum of the spaceship when it was launched were gone.

Cheerful, Bluestone lingered at the bow and stern for a long time, and did not return to the cabin until near noon.

This spaceship is a magic weapon, and its core components need to be jointly created by the refiner and the array mage, and it integrates the world's most advanced magic technology.

Only monks can ride on the spaceship, so there is no catering service on board, and there are no sanitary facilities, after all, for monks, even the least cultivated monks can go days without eating, drinking, pulling or scattering.

The monks who could fly on this spaceship were either rich or expensive, so it was impossible for a single guest to share a cabin with others.

The cabin where Qingshi spent two hundred medium-grade spirit stones is on the second floor below deck, which is the lowest-grade single cabin on this ship, the length and width are no more than a zhang, but the decoration is luxurious, clean and tidy.

Qingshi practiced Dahuang Gong in the cabin for nine weeks, and since Chinese New Year's Eve, he basically no longer used pills in his cultivation, but directly used spirit stones. Without the bright green soul body, Qingshi was afraid that if he took a large amount of pills, he might hurt his body.

Nine Sundays have to use up to 100 lower-grade spirit stones, and after a few days, plus the fare and boat fare, there are not many spirit stones on Qingshi's body. However, Qingshi is not worried, as an alchemist who can refine even the common four-grade spirit pills, the spirit stone is not a problem at all.

Now that his cultivation had improved to the third stage of the Qi Gathering Realm, he felt that he could even try to refine some simple five-rank pills.

It was already night after the cultivation was completed, and Qingshi came out of the cabin to breathe and stretch his muscles.

When I came to the wide foredeck, I saw that a huge moon had risen in the sky, half round, bright and bright. Another small moon hung in the western sky, its crescent moon bent and dimmed.

The calendar of the Draco World is based on the movement of the sun and the largest moon, and the moon's circle and deficiency are also the same as those on the earth, and it is expected to be divided into new moons, and the moon is full every fifteenth day.

The Celestial Dragon World is undoubtedly much larger than the earth, and there are three moons here, generally speaking, the moon refers to the largest, it looks big and bright, at least fifty times larger than the moon on the earth, at this time the spaceship is above the clouds, the moon looks even bigger, and you can even clearly see the mountains and huge craters on the moon.

On the deck of the spaceship under the moonlight, there were a few passengers walking or standing, and there were not many people.

Qingshi looked at the sea of clouds in the moonlight for a while, and began to study the formation patterns on the side of the ship.

There is obviously a shielding array on the deck, and the aura it generates can filter out the wind caused by high-speed flight, but it is not completely shielded and can penetrate the breeze, which is not very clever overall.

The energy source of the magic circle is the spirit stone, and you can see the spirit stone container embedded in the inner side of the ship, like a small lamp embedded in the side of the ship. Qingshi looked carefully along the side of the ship, and slowly understood some principles.

These days, the bluestone cultivation is not only the study of the magic circle, the current bluestone, there is no suitable martial arts to practice, the three yellow-level low-grade martial arts have been upgraded to the realm of Dacheng, and then to improve it mainly depends on understanding rather than blindly hard practice.

Therefore, the best way to improve combat power at present is to cultivate the magic circle, after all, the five elements are full of true qi, and if you don't practice the magic circle, it will be a waste of talent. As for refining tools, Qingshi doesn't like it very much, and of course there is no time for no materials at the moment.

Qingshi studied the shielding array, and wanted to study the driving array, this circle wraps the entire hull, its core device is located below the inner deck of the hull, and the huge rings on both sides of the hull and the bottom of the ship are the power release devices, all connected by mechanisms or magic weapons that depict the formation pattern.

Bluestone leaned out of the side of the ship, trying to see the state of the ring on the hull of the ship, but before he could see clearly, he heard a scream.

Qingshi turned his head to look, only to see a red figure flashing to his side, and then his waist tightened, one hand grabbed his shirt and dragged it back, and threw himself backwards with a strong force, Qingshi was caught off guard, his body flew backwards and landed in the center of the deck, and he stepped back a few steps and was thrown to a sitting.

Qingshi looked up in surprise, only to see that it was the red-clothed girl who teased her before boarding the ship, and at this moment she was standing opposite her with one hand on her waist and the other pointing at herself and loudly lectured: "Why do you want to die?" Seeing that you were born well, but you are a spineless wreck, you say that you have something that you can't cross, the river that can't be crossed, the mountain that can't be overturned, and you have to look for death and life? ”

Qingshi stood up and cried and laughed, not knowing how to answer, but saw the yellow-shirted girl running over with the red-clothed girl in the daytime, pressing the red-clothed girl's arm, and gently stomping her feet and saying, "Sister Xiaoyu, what are you doing?" This big brother is looking at the driving circle on the side of the ship, not to jump ship and commit suicide, look at you! ”

Then he looked at Qingshi and said, "I'm sorry, this big brother, I won't compensate you on behalf of Sister Xiaoyu." He whispered to the girl in red, "Apologize to others." ”

Qingshi understood, looked at the two beautiful girls, but couldn't help but laugh in his heart: these two girls are really a perfect match, one is reckless and reckless, and the other is quiet and gentle, and his heart is as careful as hair.

Qingshi said: "It turns out that this little girl thought I was going to jump ship and commit suicide, hehe, I don't want to die, but thank you." He looked at the girl in the yellow shirt and said, "She is also kind, you don't need to apologize." ”

"Hmph, she doesn't need to apologize, does that mean I need to apologize?" The girl in red was a little embarrassed, but when she heard Qingshi speak, she immediately sneered, "I don't apologize, no, it's almost the same thing that you apologize to me, do you want to see the formation and don't know how to borrow a formation from the captain?" What does it look like to lie on the side of the boat and look out? I misunderstood and worried in vain. ”

The formation diagram is the core content of the magic array treasure, and it is the secret treasure of the formation mage, not to mention that this captain can't have it at all, and even if he does, it is impossible to show you. It seems that this girl is not only a horse, but also stupid.

Qingshi secretly thought so in his heart, but said: "When did I say that I wanted you to apologize, didn't I thank you again?" ”

"Hmph, then you still have to apologize to me," Xiaoyu didn't give up, "What did you call me a little girl just now, a girl is a girl, where am I small?" "As if you're old, pretending to be old-fashioned...... Oh Bingbing, why are you pulling me, I haven't finished talking yet! ”

The girl in the yellow shirt dragged Xiaoyu into the cabin with an embarrassed face, and then walked out of the cabin towards Qingshi, followed by the twelve or thirteen-year-old boy.

In front of Qingshi, the girl in the yellow shirt smiled at Qingshi and said: "This big brother is smiling, my cousin is this kind of character, don't blame her." ”

"I didn't blame her," Aoshi laughed, "I know she's kind. ”

"Big brother, are you a formation mage?" The little boy turned out from behind the girl, asked with a look of adoration, and said without waiting for Qingshi to answer, "By the way, I don't know what to call the eldest brother, my name is Shen Jiayun, this is my sister Shen Binghong, and that is our cousin Duan Xiaoyu just now."

"Oh, my name is Bluestone," Bluestone replied.

"Well, Brother Bluestone, you're a formation mage, right?" Shen Jiayun looked adoring and expecting.

"Well, well, I've only been practicing the Xuan Array Technique for a short time, so I don't dare to say that I'm a Formation Mage."

"Snort~" A disdainful sneer came from the side, and a young man in his twenties wearing a green brocade robe walked over, saying as he walked, "Could it be that you have practiced the Xuan Array long enough to dare to say that you are a formation mage?" Shh Array mages need to be assessed by the Array Mage Guild, not just any cat or dog. ”

Qingshi thought that there was nothing wrong with his words, and he didn't know how to offend this person, so he couldn't help frowning.

Before Qingshi could speak, he heard Shen Jiayun say: "Li Dong, why are you so annoying, it's like a dog skin plaster." What are we talking to you for? Don't come here, walk away, walk away. ”

"Am I wrong? Isn't it true that the formation mage is not in the first place," Li Dong ignored Shen Jiayun's words, walked over and sneered at Shen Binghong, "Sister Bing'er, you said yes?" ”

"Li Gongzi, please respect yourself," Shen Binghong said coldly, "I'll say it again, this title is not something you can call." We don't want to be disturbed here. ”

"Hehe," Li Dong touched the wall full of dust, but he didn't want to go away, turned to Qingshi with an embarrassed smile and said: "This friend is very tight, I'm afraid it's not from Mingshan Kyoto." Contemptible Kyoto Li family descendant Li Dong, dare to ask the surname Gao's name? "Flirtatious.

"In the lower Qingshi," Qingshi smiled faintly and said: "Li Gongzi is a big family in Kyoto, I can't afford to climb high in a small place, so you can do it yourself." ”

Li Dong saw that the Shen family's sisters and brothers looked disgusted with him, and he was unhappy but didn't dare to do anything, at this time, seeing Qingshi talking like this, he said in his heart You are just a low-level monk from a small place, since you know that I am a descendant of the five major families in Kyoto, Mingshan Country, even if you don't come to stammer, you dare to ridicule me. I'm about to have a furious outburst.

But he heard Shen Binghong say: "Since Brother Qingshi can practice the Xuan Array Technique, then at least he is also a multi-attribute cultivator with two attributes of true qi, and we don't have many Shen family with such talent." ”

Turning his head to look at Shen Jiayun, "Jiayun, you want to be closer to Brother Qingshi." This was obviously said to Li Dong.

Li Dong couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.

Qingshi praised Shen Binghong for being smart in his heart.

Shen Jiayun jumped and cheered: "Yes, yes, Brother Qingshi, what I have awakened is the earth attribute true qi, the ancestor said that I will definitely awaken at least one more Five Elements attribute true qi before I am eighteen years old, then I can practice the Xuan Array, and when the time comes, Brother Qingshi, you will teach me!" ”

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Li Dong again, "Hey! Why don't you go away, believe it or not, I asked Sister Xiaoyu to beat you? Sister Xiaoyu—"

Duan Xiaoyu was hiding in the corner of the cabin to listen to them, and when he heard Shen Jiayun calling, he jumped out suddenly, and in a flash, he didn't speak, he just stared and stretched out a fist in front of him, and his whole body aura was released.

Qingshi was startled, this girl was actually in the Qi Condensation Realm! I'm afraid it's already mid-level. After Qingshi was promoted to five levels in a row, her cultivation reached the third level of the Qi Gathering Realm, which was not too low, but this girl was obviously three or four years younger than him, but her cultivation had reached the middle level of the Qi Condensing Realm, which was really terrifying.

Li Dong was obviously afraid of this spicy girl, and said with a smile: "Xiaoyu girl just likes to joke, so I'll not bother you." He turned around and walked away.

Xiao Yu snorted and put away her fist. Turning his head to see Qingshi looking at him in surprise, he couldn't help pouting proudly: "What's the matter?" Haven't you ever seen a beautiful woman? ”

Qingshi smiled: "I really haven't seen such a powerful beauty." ”

"Hmph, Tu Baozi, I don't know."

Qingshi knew that she had a knife mouth, but in fact, she was still kind-hearted, so she didn't care, and only smiled slightly.

Duan Xiaoyu saw that he was just smiling tolerantly and didn't talk back, and he also had a little good feeling in his heart, his eyes rolled, and he asked, "What's that, have you awakened the true qi of the two attributes?" What are the two types? ”

Shen Binghong smiled lightly: "Brother Qingshi can cultivate the magic circle, so he has naturally awakened the true qi of the earth attribute. ”

"Oh, yes," Duan Xiaoyu said, "What's that, what's the other?" ...... Hey, why don't you speak? ”

"Is Miss Xiaoyu asking me?" Aoshi replied with a smile.

"Sister Xiaoyu," Shen Jiayun interjected, "This is Big Brother Qingshi." ”

"What bluestone and white stone," Duan Xiaoyu pouted, "I'll call you a stone." ”

Qingshi was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly and said: "Okay, let's call it Shishi, this is actually my name." After a pause, he added, "Nickname." ”

"Haha!" Duan Xiaoyu became happy, clapped his hands and said, "I guessed it, well, then I'll call you Shi...... Brother Stone. ”

"Okay, okay," Shen Jiayun interjected, "Brother Qingshi hasn't said what the attribute of the other true qi is, Brother Qingshi said it quickly." ”

Of course, it was impossible for Qingshi to tell them that he had the true qi of the five elements, but he was not willing to lie, so he paused slightly, and said: "I have not been practicing the formation technique for a long time, and it was only the first time that I formed a formation on the first day of the Lunar New Year, but I arranged a maze array in the courtyard of my house, but it was useless, and an old-timer easily came in and didn't even trigger the formation." ”

"Oops" Duan Xiaoyu shouted, "You are really verbose and off-topic, and you still haven't made it clear what kind of attribute true qi is after talking for a long time." ”

Shen Binghong pursed her lips and smiled: "Sister Xiaoyu, don't worry, Brother Qingshi is going to test us?" Jiayun, can you guess it? ”

"The Ecstasy Array seems to be able to be arranged with water, fire, and wood attribute materials," Shen Jiayun scratched his head and said, "If you use the formation spirit weapon, you don't need to come according to the attributes, how can you guess this?" ”

"Well, I guess it's the wood attribute," Shen Binghong said, turning his head to Qingshi and asking, "Am I right?" ”

Before Qingshi could answer, Duan Xiaoyu shouted: "No wonder they all say that you are a ghost spirit, Brother Shi said a maze array, how can you guess it?" Let's talk about it. ”

Shen Binghong glanced at Qingshi and said, "I'm guessing blindly, don't laugh at me if I say something wrong, Brother Qingshi!" ”

Qingshi smiled slightly: "Miss Binghong, please speak." ”

"Well, since Brother Qingshi has successfully set up the formation for the first time, it is naturally impossible to use a formation spirit weapon such as a formation flag array disk, and generally speaking, the lowest level of formation spirit weapons can only be driven by a formation mage above level three."

Shen Binghong paused, looked at Qingshi nodded slightly, and continued: "Since it is not a formation spirit weapon, it can be ruled out of metallics, as for the three kinds of water, fire and wood, since it is arranged in your own yard, and it is arranged casually, then it must be directly using the things in the yard, I think that the average person's yard will not often accumulate a lot of water, let alone a raging fire from time to time, but usually plant some flowers and trees." ”

"That's right," Shen Jiayun patted his head and said, "Why can't I think of it?" Brother Qingshi, is my sister right? ”

Qingshi nodded and smiled: "My array is indeed arranged using the flowers and trees in the yard, and the Binghong girl is really ice and snow smart." ”
