The three of them sat opposite each other, Yaoqin stroking the qin with her hands, the snow-white pancreas and the dark purple guqin set off each other, showing its elegance and moving, the tinkling sound of the qin danced in her fingertips, as if the spring flowed, and the translucent water droplets splashed on the shore stone;

The sandalwood on the table burned quietly, releasing a thin smoke visible to the naked eye, which diffused in the air.

The water vapor above the West Lake is pervasive, although the sun is warm, but it does not shine transparently, but it is more dense, hazy with the distant mountains and close scenes, and it is not real.

lingering and compassionate, like the fiery breath of a man and woman in love.

Qian Duoduo said with a smile: "I can't hide it, junior brother, after I sold the goods in Lin'an this time, I left for Dashi." ”

Qiao Chenan was a little surprised when he heard this: "But it's a big food country far overseas?"

Qian Duoduoqi said: "How does Brother Qiao know, could it be that you have also heard of this country?"

Qiao Chen'an didn't say anything, Da Shi, isn't it the ancient name of the Arab Empire in later generations, but what he was curious about was how he arrived in this country with the navigation technology of Great Xia and completed the round-trip trip in less than three months?

You must know that the navigation technology in ancient times was far less developed than in modern times, and there was no radar positioning, and only the direction of the stars could be identified in the vast sea, and the navigators could only rely on the compass in their hands for rough positioning. Even then, it's easy to get lost.

What's more, Mother Sea will not always be calm, sea storms may appear at any time, coupled with all kinds of bad weather, even large fleets do not dare to set foot in the ocean easily.

Qian Duoduo drank a lot of fragrant tea, and continued: "Yes, after my family's fleet left Lin'an, it ...... along the coastline all the way south."

After listening to his story, Qiao Chen'an knew a rough idea, it turned out that the Great Food Country of this world was far from being as far away as in later generations, it was just two thousand miles away from the southern border of Great Xia, and it was a peninsula country.

As early as ten years ago, a group of great navigators in Bactria risked their lives to open up a route to the Great Food Country, so although the trade between the two places is not frequent, it is not difficult to communicate with each other.

Of course, this kind of voyage can only be done by a large fleet like the Qian family.

And the reason why they were able to come and go quickly in a short period of time was due to a special organization in Great Xia, the Organ Gate.

This organization directly belongs to the royal family of Great Xia, and since ancient times, it has been intensively studying the magic of the organs, and the core purpose is that "the law starts from the art, and the machine is born from the heart", the governance of the poor world, and the creation of personnel, which is profound and mysterious.

The most important point is that all the members of the Organ Gate are all members of the royal family, and all of them have cultivation talents, and they have been selected by the royal family since they were young to be trained as future Organ Masters.

The people in the Trap Gate, even if they don't have the slightest cultivation, have a powerful force enough to kill the monk!

No mechanic can be underestimated!

A large part of the reason why Great Xia has been immortal for hundreds of years is because of this organization, otherwise, relying on those people in the Dao Sect alone, Great Xia would have been crumbling long ago.

Again, in this world, there has never been a reason for the weak to rule the strong.

It is conceivable that the "leakage" of a little thing from this organization to the people will greatly change the lives of the people in the Great Xia Dynasty, and ocean navigation is one of the beneficiaries.

"Trap Gate, Dao Gate, Lunatic Cult ......"

Qiao Chenan listened to Qian Duoduo's narration, and couldn't help but whisper to himself, his heart was full of thoughts for a while, with his in-depth understanding, the true face of this world is gradually emerging, but what is hidden in the dark is probably far beyond his imagination.

It was no longer the dynasty he had in mind.

Although Yaoqin is erudite and knowledgeable, and her talent far exceeds that of ordinary scholars, she is like a bird in a cage all the year round, and she is a little less knowledgeable, and after listening to Qian Duoduo's words, she suddenly wondered: "Is this trick really so magical?"

Qian Duoduo smiled slightly, didn't reply, and took out an oval-colored object from his sleeve, about the size of a fist, with a pale cyan surface, but dense veins could be seen, as if artificially divided.

"Girl, look. ”

He stretched out his hand and pressed it at the bottom of the object, and spread out his palm, and saw a sound similar to the rotation of a gear, and the surface suddenly cracked, and the machine turned, and the clicking sound was incessant, and in the blink of an eye it became the shape of a bird, and with a flutter of its wings, it circled in the room.

"This ......"

Yaoqin's beautiful eyes were full of brilliance, and she was surprised: "It's amazing, how did it fly!?"

Qiao Chen'an's eyes also shone with a gleam, and his eyes were firmly fixed on the bird flying in the room, even from the perspective of him, a descendant, he felt that it was incredible.

Seeing that both of them were attracted, Qian Duoduo couldn't help but feel a little proud, and said with a smile: "This is a trap bird that I spent a lot of money to buy in my early years, how about it, don't you think it's incredible? When I first saw it, I was shocked for most of the day......

There was a look of yearning on his face, "It's just a gadget made by the people who set up the door!"

Qiao Chenan said from the bottom of his heart: "The trick is really a poor heaven and earth creation. ”

This group of people suddenly became a mystery in his eyes, and if he had the opportunity, he would love to see the best tricks.

Qian Duoduo put away the bird in the reluctant gaze of the two, took out a purple-red, beautifully decorated box, presented it to Yaoqin, and said with a smile: "Miss Yaoqin, guess what is in here?"

Yaoqin took the box into her hand and looked at it carefully for a moment, then looked at him and said, "Could it be that it is also something made by the machine door?"

Qian Duoduo showed a smile on his face, shook his head when he heard the words, and said, "No, no, no, the girl can open it now." ”

Yaoqin opened it lightly with her hand, slowly lifted the lid of the box, and in an instant, the room was filled with a strange fragrance, and it came to her nose, Yaoqin's beautiful eyes flashed, and she was surprised: "This is a spice?!"

Qiao Chen'an looked over, and saw that there was a thin layer in the box, about the size of soybeans, with a pale black surface, but there were bursts of rich fragrance that kept coming out.

Qian Duoduo originally thought that Yaoqin didn't know the origin of the spices in this box, but when he heard her name come out, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, and said, "Miss Yaoqin also knows spices?"

Yaoqin nodded, "I saw Mother Wu use it once when I was a child, but that was several years ago. ”

"This is exactly the spice I brought back from the big food country this time. ”

Speaking of this, Qian Duoduo came to the momentum and looked at the two of them, "I think that although my Great Xia is rich in land and resources, these things are only available in this kind of small overseas countries, but the amount is not too much, I came this time to bring a full half of the cabin." ”

Speaking of this, his eyes showed a gleam, "With half a cabin of spices, I can earn at least hundreds of thousands of taels!"
