Chapter Seventy-Two: Like-minded Interests
On the fourth day of September, Qingtan City
It was already early in the morning when I came down from the treasure ship.
The old elder did not force Bai to return to the Pirate Islands at night, but only instructed him to take the opportunity to practice well, and then went back to his cabin with his back.
Bai Ye said goodbye to his little cousin, and obediently followed the old steward Tao directly back to Qingtan City.
When I returned to the Nine Old Halls, it was not yet dawn, but the hall had already received a letter and opened a new small room in the small courtyard of the hall master. Since then, Bai Ye has been immersed in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion with peace of mind, and has been eagerly reading those long-cherished classics.
Since leaving Fangyi, Bai Ye has been like a fierce-maned bear that has broken into a paddy field, stepping on deep puddles everywhere, but he doesn't care about looking for which pit has rice and fish.
The mysterious forces one after another, and the strange changes one after another, made him dizzy. He was cautious everywhere, but he was led by the people around him everywhere, and his heart was too tired.
Only when I smell the fragrance of books in the room full of books in the Zangjing Pavilion and touch those ancient books that are old will my mood gradually relax.
It's too much like my home in Phuong-eup.
After two days of hard study, the doubts in my heart became more and more intense.
A lot of things don't match the contents of my father's notes.
The experience of secret arts and exercises is in his father's notes, but they are all too brief, if he doesn't really practice, he can't understand them at all, and he can't study them in the first place.
But at first glance, when he saw that Jiu Laotang had collected so many cheats, he also aroused some curiosity, so he deliberately picked it up and took a look. In the process of studying, the mind unconsciously moves with it. At first, I didn't feel it, but then I suddenly found that many parts of my body were a little itchy.
It's like never before. These places should be the acupuncture points indicated in the secret book in the hall, but where do the meridian acupoints come from in his body?
The hall master's reply was very pleasantly surprised.
Bai Ye followed her guidance and carefully confirmed it, and found that her physique had indeed changed slightly.
After his spiritual power was scattered in the Gourd Valley, it slowly re-condensed, and until now he is still slowly but continuously transforming his body. After a long time, I'm afraid there will be surprises.
The hall master thought about it for a long time before teaching him the most conventional method of consolidating the foundation and cultivating the yuan, and cautiously guided him to consolidate the status quo. Thanks to the blessing of the black-robed son of Weiguo, the current Bai Ye is like a baby who learns to speak, and he can finally start from scratch.
But after all, the time for physical changes is still short, so it is best to avoid being in a hurry. If you pursue the road and open up the canal too much, it will be troublesome if you don't go crazy.
In addition to the exercises, there are many things in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion that also benefit him a lot.
The history of the East and West was something he had never been exposed to. Bai Ye recalled the stories that had been instilled in him by different people in the past month, and verified them with the most authoritative records in the Nine Old Churches.
Rao is his mind is smart, and he has practiced the ability to never forget by urinating, and it still took a long time to silently write down the history of nearly a thousand years.
Time flashed, and it was the seventh day of the ninth month. The whole hall regarded serving this "illegitimate son of Emperor Dalan" as the most important thing. Except for three meals a day, he never took the initiative to disturb him. But this morning, someone knocked on the door.
Bai Ye opened the door, but found that he had not seen the elder in the hall. After careful questioning, I learned that this dusty Elder Lu had just returned from the Guannan camp and had come to visit.
Elder Lu was not polite at all, and said straight to the point that he wanted to see the birthday gift given to Bai Ye by the elders of Fangyi.
Looking at the token in the elder's hand, the corners of Bai Ye's mouth couldn't help but rise. It was Uncle Beard's hand charm. The unique secret notes of Fangyi's little uncles can't be imitated by outsiders.
He grabbed the elder's hand and dragged him straight into the room. Eagerly said, "Uncle Hu, uh, Teng Zixiong...... Are the guards okay, where are they now, what are they doing?"
"It's all good. The guards all stayed in the camp in Guannan, there was no fight, and the birds were idle every day. Elder Lu said a few perfunctory words, but his eyes kept searching in the room.
This man's face is wooden, and his eyes are also stupid. At first glance, it is the kind of person who is ignorant of the world and only indulges in certain specialties.
Bai Ye smiled bitterly and took out his shield and handed it to Elder Lu with both hands. Sure enough, this person's eyes instantly glowed, and he snatched it and studied it for half an hour before he let go with satisfaction.
It seems that Uncle Suo was right before. The works of Elder Fang Yi will cause great shock once they are in the world. Even the well-informed parity elders deserted from the front.
An old man and a young man have similar interests, chatting and chatting and becoming more and more confidants of each other. Elder Lu was interested, so he ran to the Scripture Pavilion next door and turned out a large pile of books that had been sealed for a long time.
It just so happened that these books were the first time Bai Ye had read them. He also became excited, and poured out all the doubts in his heart:
"I've studied the prototypes of the crystal nucleus turret and the Mystic Array. Now the things that the marshal commissioned to design in the hall are far from the original design drawings. Why is it that the current one is not as good as the one before?
"This involves the issue of the tide of spiritual power. Since four hundred years ago, the spiritual power that flooded the Eastern Continent has been continuously dissipating, and soon it has reached the bottom, and until today, the spiritual energy concentration has not been able to climb again. Only the Wei side has had some fluctuations in recent years, and the signs of intervention by the Western Continent are obvious. ”
Bai Ye nodded and said, "That is, the quality of the crystal nucleus is not as good as before?"
"No, no, it's more than that. The crystal nucleus naturally provides a source of spiritual power. But if you want to stimulate them, you need the mysticist to use spiritual power to guide, which is the most reliable and effective. ”
"But there are too few mystics now. ”
"Yes! On the front line, you can only rely on ordinary soldiers. The lead machine we designed is inlaid with a special spirit stone, which can actively emit spiritual power, and can also be repeatedly infused with spiritual power by the mystician, which can be regarded as a miniature spiritual source. ”
Elder Lu spread out an extremely complicated drawing and explained seriously: "Open and close this lead bracket, and the spiritual power will be channeled to the crystal nucleus in the turret by a special pipe. In this way, the time and intensity of the spirit source are controlled by the machine, and the direction of the crystal nucleus is controlled by the mirror, and the weapon has the possibility of aiming and continuous firing. ”
Bai Ye shook his head: "It's too cumbersome, and maintenance is also a problem." But the good thing is that anyone can use it. ”
"No, no, that's not the point. The key is this mini spiritual source. This is the real spirit stone, not the spiritual power absorbed and transformed by the living creatures such as spirit beasts and spirit strains, this is the most refined and pure thing that has existed in the heavens and the earth for a long time. But the veins in the territory of the Lan country have long been exhausted. ”
"Dig it all out?"
"I don't know how much else there is in stock, so you don't have to ask. There are some veins in the Wei Kingdom, and the specific ones are not very clear. The vein distribution maps in the Scripture Pavilion are all information from a hundred years ago, too long and useless. ”
Bai Ye said with some confusion: "I still think that this way of the crystal core turret is too primitive. There is only a lot of spiritual power that is stimulated each time, and most of the energy is completely wasted. ”
Elder Lu was stunned: "How can the entire energy of the crystal nucleus be completely extracted?
Kashiraya consciously closed her mouth. I took it for granted again. This ability, except for myself, really no one can do it......
"In fact, the issue of efficiency has been considered by predecessors. The components of the bracket and the mirror in the drawings were originally small magic circles, which should have been exquisitely controlled, but unfortunately the production method has long been lost. ”
As Elder Lu spoke, his eyes lit up again: "The existing mirrors and lead brackets are all substitutes that the Holy Son researched when he restored the crystal core turret. ”
"You say...... These are his works?"
"Yes! The Son is an unborn genius. He doesn't know what's in his head, and it's always full of energy! The most amazing thing is that basically every design is a few simple strokes of his way to draw a solution. The most important thing is to have the idea of solving the problem. As for the specific production, we can also find a way to achieve it. ”
"Ugh. That's a bit ...... Did the Holy Son just come up with ideas? Didn't he personally manage and build the defense system of the great city? Also, I heard Amber say that the great city used the spiritual source to heat the underground river, and if the spiritual source was not destroyed, the defense system of the great city would have been able to operate forever. ”
"Yes, so he's a genius. ”
"Do you know what's the way to heat an underground river?"
"You, you didn't make it in time. The Son was about the same age as you back then. The great city he rebuilt was always shrouded in foggy steam. People say that he has cast some kind of water secret technique, but in fact, the Holy Son has shown us that it is ordinary water vapor, but it contains incomparably powerful power. Miraculous. Amazing skills......"
Elder Lu's eyes suddenly turned red, and his hands trembled slightly: "But now that the spiritual source has been destroyed, the Holy Son is gone." Ayutthaya will never return to its former appearance. ”
“...... Elder, didn't the Great Marshal seal the various gates in the south of the city back then, and didn't he also use the spiritual source in the city? Before the Thunder Emperor destroyed the ban on the Great City this time, the spiritual source was still functioning?
"You don't know that. The spiritual source was destroyed back then, not completely blown up and shattered, but out of control and could no longer be closed. The spiritual source composed of thousands of crystal nuclei and countless spirit stones radiates a huge amount of spiritual power uninterruptedly at every moment, making it difficult for anyone to get close to. ”
"What does radiation mean?" the word appeared in his father's notes, and hearing Elder Lu blurt out this word as well, Bai Ye suddenly remembered it.
"Didn't the Son say the words he coined? He has a lively mind and a lot of new words. But...... There are exceptions to everything. We don't know what the situation is this time. It is estimated that the people of the Western Continent have studied in the big city for many years, and they should have some experience. They didn't know how to use to melt down the forbidden shields of the five city gates. It's a pity, it's a pity. ”
Speaking of the protective shield, Bai Ye's heart moved. He often has access to the mystical wall guard. There was one outside my father's circle. And destroying the wall cover, he also had an experience: the kind that the black robe of the Ul Kingdom used to imprison Jiang Jinglan.
As for the protective shield carried by the individual soldier, Bai Ye suddenly had a flash of inspiration and blurted out: "Is the kind of protective magic weapon used by the pro-military camp made by the Nine Old Sect?"
"I did it. Elder Lu looked at Bai Ye, a little proud, "But it's too far from the Holy Son's big city wall cover." ”
"Jiulaotang has deep roots, and there are many capable people, which is really amazing! Over the years, I have contributed a lot of efforts to fight with the marshal in the south and the north, right?
The elder was stunned for a moment: "Those torch carts? That has nothing to do with us. A simple mechanical master doesn't need to ask us to make it. He himself had studied it with the Son. ”
Well?
Bai Ye was about to open his mouth to ask about Elder Haizhou's situation, and when he heard this, he stopped talking.
He had been grinding Elder Lu, but in fact, he had a hidden purpose, that is, he wanted to ask the true identity of that Haizhou Elder.
The man knew his father and the three elders, and knew that the guards were not dead, and they were almost close to the core secret of Fangyi, but he really didn't seem to know that his father was still alive.
If it weren't for the elder hired by the Great Shuai from the Nine Old Sect. So, who is that Holy Spirit Clansman? Where did he come from? It has something to do with the people of the Western Continent who have helped the Ul Kingdom all these years? Could it be that the Great Marshal got it from the Ul Kingdom?
