"Huh?" He handed the basin to Gui Yuan, "What have you figured out again?"
"I know where the powerful force that secretly supports Qingyang comes from!" He Lingchuan said slowly, "The temple!"
There are various signs that Qingyang and Bai Tan have colluded together. But He Lingchuan can feel that there is an extremely powerful third force behind them!
Qingyang only supervises the country and has no real power;
Bai Tan represents some bureaucrats and generals who are not popular;
For them to dare to set off huge waves in Yao Kingdom, they need an extremely powerful help!
What kind of power dares to give Qing Yang a platform for his heaven-defying plan?
What kind of power can buy 30% to 40% of Guangyao's grain in just one month?
This is Qingyang, can a few generals do this?
So the answer is easy to come out. In addition to the Yao royal family itself, the only people with such background, connections, and power in Yao Kingdom are the temples.
Dong Rui also nodded: "Yes, Qingyang plus Bai Tan, the power is still weak. Yao people have believed in Miao Zhantian for more than a hundred years, and there are crazy believers everywhere. Whoever Miao Zhantian says it supports, these believers will
No matter who you support, King Yao has no such prestige."
Emperors in the human world are subject to birth, old age, illness and death, make mistakes, become confused, and even be beheaded. How can they be compared to gods who are aloof and have boundless power?
"Piety" in Dong Rui's context has the same meaning as "crazy".
Gulu gulu, while the two were talking, the ghost monkey drank milk from a basin and dazzled in one breath.
When it put down the basin, a white beard appeared around its mouth.
Before it could wipe it with its hand, Lingguang quickly handed it a wet wipe.
"But King Yao served Miao Zhantian very well, but Miao Zhantian plans to attack him? Well, all those hundreds of temples in the past were built in vain?" Dong Rui picked up a piece of pastry and chewed it vaguely, "God
My heart is so hot that I can’t hold it back.”
"It depends on which angle you stand." He Lingchuan took a sip of milk. It tastes really good and deserves to be promoted. "From the perspective of the Yao royal family, sincerity cannot be exchanged for sincerity, which is somewhat worthless; but if you are Miaozhan
God, this entire Yao Kingdom is your sheepfold, and King Yao is just a farmer who keeps the sheepfold for you. If his work is not good and not as good as you want, of course you will replace him."
After all, King Yao thought this country belonged to him, but the gods didn't think so.
At dawn, it was time for He Lingchuan to go to the large construction site on the outskirts of the city.
King Yao hopes not to delay the construction of the new city even a day.
He Lingchuan also planned to ask the ministers who attended the banquet last night.
He urgently needs to know more details. Bai Ziqi was originally led to the north by the Qianhuan real person clue he placed, but suddenly returned to Yao country. Is there any other reason behind it?
Dong Rui was a little worried: "Hey, don't you have to enter the palace today? It's too dangerous."
Today is another day when He Lingchuan enters the palace to report the progress of the project to King Yao, but Bai Ziqi only arrived in Tianshui City yesterday. Could they have already laid a dragnet in the palace, waiting for He Lingchuan to cast it himself?
"It doesn't matter, I have a way." He Lingchuan asked him, "Tian Yun secretly buried the yellow buns in Yongquan Villa, what did you find out?"
As soon as he mentioned this, Dong Rui became excited: "Ah ha, I guessed it right, it's a bug puppet again!"
"What's the stuffing, I mean, what's the content?"
"Do you think they all look the same, fat and round?"
"Well, it's like a brown bread that has been stored for a long time. One of them is still a little deflated."
"Actually, the insects inside are all different." Dong Rui explained, "This thing cannot be called an oospore, it should be called a sheath, because what comes out of it is not necessarily a newly hatched larvae."
He Lingchuan exclaimed, "Just like a caterpillar lays eggs, but it still has to pupate once before it can transform into a butterfly?"
The egg shell emerges once and the pupa shell emerges once.
"Yes, that's the truth!" Dong Rui showed a childish expression of relief, "These sheaths are actually chrysalis. Inside are insect puppets waiting to transform into their final form. Two of them will become powerful after being unearthed.
Individuals, I can’t estimate their future appearance yet.”
Just like a caterpillar turns into a butterfly, its shape changes greatly.
"The other two are annoying. One will evolve into a queen ant, and the other will evolve into a queen bee." Dong Rui scratched his head, "This guy Tian Yun is really a thief. If I were him, I would give the enemy more
To create a little trouble, these two gadgets are indeed excellent choices."
He Lingchuan thought for a while: "How long will it take for them to hatch?"
"What hatching?" Dong Rui said angrily, "Don't you remember a word of what I just said? That's metamorphosis! The other two sheaths break out of pupae about twelve or three days later, while the queen bee and the queen ant
They will mature earlier, emerge from the sheath in about three days, and then start to reproduce underground or under the bark."
"I infer that the bee eggs and ant eggs they lay can hatch within an hour at the latest - yes, we can call this process hatching now." Dong Rui did not forget to look down on He Lingchuan, "Remember when we were there?
The seventy-year-old cicada caught in Rongshan?"
"Remember. They are stained with divine blood, so they mutate and reproduce at an unprecedented rate." Isn't this an explosive force?
"The queen bee and queen ant are both ruthless production machines. Before Tian Yun enters the villa next time, they will probably have produced an entire nest of bees and ants. By then, they will be extremely useful for both reconnaissance and attack.
"The pesticides spread in the villa may not cause fatal harm to them.
He Lingchuan cut off the conversation and said, "Before Tian Yun buries these yellow buns, he will give them time to transform."
Dong Rui snorted: "For a good puppet master, this is the basic skill."
"On the other hand, it can be inferred that Tian Yun actually plans to launch it in more than ten days." He Lingchuan pinched his knuckles, "This timing is very particular."
Both of them knew what would happen in more than ten days. "Do you think they will also choose to take action on the day when the Emperor's Liquid comes?"
"The whole city was in chaos that day, and he had an opportunity to take advantage of it." He Lingchuan consulted an expert, "If the Emperor's Ooze breaks out, can they still control their insect puppets?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "If it is the murderer who attacked Situ Yu, I think it is okay." Dong Rui said seriously, "He has very strong control, even if the emperor's liquid erupts
, the possibility of the demon puppet losing control or backlash is very small - unless he is seriously injured."
He Lingchuan asked curiously: "If you are seriously injured, I don't think ghost apes and bats will bite you back?"
"Of course not." Dong Rui shook his head, "I keep them with me all the time because I have established a strong emotional bond with these two demon puppets and No. 66 inside the egg."
While talking, Gui Yuan stretched out his hairy hand and secretly touched the cakes on the table. Dong Rui slapped him on the back of his hand: "No rules!"
Indeed, Dong Rui rarely uses other demon puppets. He Lingchuan thought this guy was too lazy. "Can't that demon puppet master?"
"What he controls is a bug puppet! How big is the brain of a bug?" The bug puppet acts more instinctively, "You know why I don't like the bug puppet, right? You're not familiar with it!"
"But the Spider Sisters...?"
"They are ancient demons. Look how big their brains are." Dong Rui was unwilling to discuss the problem with laymen. "Judging from these insect puppets, Tian Yun's demon puppet master organization should have started very early.
research in this area.”
"Actually, compared to ordinary beast puppets, insect puppets still have advantages that cannot be ignored. By accelerating generational replacement, they can adapt to the influence of divine blood faster; and they actually have two opportunities to break out of their shells.
It is in a dormant state inside the sheath, making it easy to control.”
Sure enough, Tian, who specializes in insect puppets, has his own practical considerations. Well, it's hard to say whether his surname is really Tian.
"Since they fall into your hands, they won't hatch again, uh, won't transform again, right?"
"I interrupted their transformation process, but I have to keep them and study them carefully." Other people's works and other people's experiences are also very valuable to Dong Rui. He is a model of self-taught, but he also needs to broaden his horizons from his peers.
broaden your horizons and gain new inspiration.
"You dug out these yellow dumplings, does Tian Yun know?"
"It's hard to say." The water in this field is too deep.
He Lingchuan stood up: "I'm leaving. You stay in the villa and don't run around."
He still had to go to work before the sky fell.
Before leaving, he once again told Wan Qifeng that if Zhao Song raised his troops, everyone would evacuate as soon as possible according to He Lingchuan's previous arrangements.
…
As soon as Bai Ziqi entered Yuquan Palace, a cold air hit her face.
This kind of coldness will make anyone who is caught off guard breathless, because the air sucked into the nose instantly condenses into countless small ice crystals, which makes the lungs feel chilly.
The rocks and buildings in Yuquan Palace are covered with a thick layer of white snow.
It's not frost, it's snow.
Separated by a wall, the temperature difference between the inside and outside is at least twenty degrees.
Bai Ziqi exhaled a puff of white steam as soon as he opened his mouth: "Yuquan Palace seems to be getting colder?"
Last time I came, it didn't seem so exaggerated.
The palace attendant who led the way said respectfully: "Yes, in the past three years, Yuquan Palace has been getting colder every year."
Since the end of Yao Wang's longevity ceremony, Yuquan Palace has been getting colder day by day. This palace seems to have its own enchantment, and snow falls at night. In the early morning, the palace people have to go out to clear the snow, at least to clear out a line of Yao Wang.
A path that can be taken.
However, King Yao no longer comes here.
He is old and frail and cannot withstand such cold weather.
"Huh?" Bai Ziqi paused slightly after turning the corner, "Where's that old pear tree?"
The old pear tree is the protagonist of Yuquan Palace. The canopy of pavilions and the fragrant snow on the jade trees left a deep impression on Bai Ziqi, who was well-informed. But when he came in this time, Yuquan Palace was empty.
Where is the tree?
The palace man hesitated for a moment before whispering: "The treasure tree has disappeared. It has disappeared."
Bai Ziqi was a little surprised: "When did it happen?"
He could also receive some news from Yao Kingdom one after another, but small things like "a tree died" usually did not reach his ears.
"On the day of my king's birthday, the precious tree suddenly withered away as its flowers and leaves fell."
Bai Ziqi said softly: "That's it."
He just asked casually, without taking it too seriously, and walked through Yuquan Palace and towards Qingyin Pavilion.
