This is unreasonable. This world should have the ability to heal itself, right? "Since natural disasters?"
"That still exists. I heard that spiritual energy recovered very quickly in the early Middle Ages. Well, it should be established from the beginning. Later, for some unknown reason, it was interrupted again."
He Lingchuan remembered the inference of Tian Shengzi of Tianyan Sect.
"In the Tianyan Sect, there once was an immortal named Tian Shengzi. He put forward a hypothesis that the appearance of the emperor's liquid corresponds to the death of the gods in the sky."
Sun Fuling's eyes flashed: "Interesting, this statement is really unpopular. I have never seen it written in a book, and I have never heard the great master of Panlong City mention it in Wenxiantang. How did Tian Shengzi discuss it?
?”
He Lingchuan recounted the memory of the soul-capturing mirror.
Sun Fuling sighed: "The theory is very moving, but without evidence it can only be a mirror image. No wonder this theory cannot be passed down."
"In other words, as long as you know when the gods will die, you can predict when the Emperor's Liquid will erupt." He Lingchuan stared at her and said, "I remember that before the Emperor's Liquid erupts, Panlong City will notify everyone in advance."
Sun Fuling chuckled: "The power of the gods is unpredictable. You should ask Empress Mitian. She is a god and she has the answer."
"I'll ask it. It's strange that it will pay attention to me." He Lingchuan sighed, listlessly.
"Why are you so forced to smile today?" Sun Fuling looked at him carefully, "By the way, I met Commander Xiao the day before yesterday, and he said that you had joined the Gale Army as an exception?"
"Well, I went on my first mission today."
"Not smooth?"
"It went very well, it took a little effort." It really just took a little effort, just chop off a person's head.
"Then you're unhappy?" Sun Fuling obviously knew something about the process, "The first task of being promoted to the Gale Army is usually very difficult. I heard that some people can't complete it, so they have to go back and continue to improve themselves."
"It seems that the superiors are very kind to me." He Lingchuan lifted the curtain and took a look, "Ah, I've arrived."
The Dan Department has arrived.
He Lingchuan usually exchanged elixirs from Pengcheng Department, or directly went to Aluo's drug store to buy them to save military merit. This was the first time he came to the Alchemy Department.
Before getting out of the car, Sun Fuling suddenly grabbed his arm:
"You have to learn to focus and forget. You are already a native of Panlong City." She walked to the square in front and said, "It's not easy for everyone here, but everyone works hard."
He Lingchuan was startled and nodded. Before she could hold back her hand, she had already stopped and jumped out of the car.
As one of the important institutions of Panlong City, the Alchemy Office is not ostentatious, but its fragrance is fragrant. The small river on the side is planted with chameleons, either half white and half pink, or half purple and half red; there are many flowers and plants planted in front of the office.
He Lingchuan could only recognize a few types, such as the green and white platycodon flowers and the wild and beautiful dendrobium flowers.
Other institutions, such as the Pengcheng Office, also use green plants to decorate their entrance corridors. The Alchemy Office is of course full of medicinal herbs, and there are tall shelves with layers of round dustpans for sifting and drying medicinal herbs.
There are countless small rooms here, the doors are usually closed, and I don’t know what they are used for.
Whichever small door He Lingchuan passed through, he seemed to hear a faint roar, like...a beast's roar? And it was full of fear.
These pharmacists really know how to play.
He stopped and listened carefully, but couldn't hear clearly. Sun Fuling poked his arm: "Hey, what are you doing here?"
"I seem to hear the sound of some kind of little monster." He Lingchuan touched his nose, "Isn't this the Alchemy Department?" Why does it look like a biochemical base?
"That's a raccoon dog." Arlo appeared out of nowhere and answered suddenly, "Some time ago, there was a nest of raccoon dogs outside the city that ate the emperor's liquid and turned into monsters. They wreaked havoc everywhere and were caught alive by the patrols.
There were more than 20 of them. It would be a pity to kill them like that. The Alchemy Department wants to come over and use them for experiments."
Isn't that life worse than death? He Lingchuan asked him: "Have you helped me change the formula?"
"I originally wanted to do it myself, but my master is also at the office this afternoon, so I asked him to take action."
He Lingchuan was overjoyed: "Mr. Helian agreed?"
A Luo's master, He Lianchen, was a well-known great pharmacist in Panlong City. When Wen Yun was injured by Jindu Zai, Wen Daolun immediately went to ask for He Lianchen.
"I agree, come with me."
The two of them followed A Luo back. As they walked, there were fewer people and fewer houses, but there were more medicinal herbs.
Finally Arlo walked into a square pavilion.
This is actually similar to a house, except that there are no walls or windows, only six large bare pillars, and curtains are hung on all sides to control the intensity of light.
There are several long tables in the huge space, connected end to end, with glass covers placed one after another on them.
Several alchemists were delivering plants to the covers, including millet grass, wheat straw, and even sweet potato vines. He Lingchuan glanced at them and found that the glass covers were filled with tiny bugs, some with wings and some without wings.
of.
Obviously this is another laboratory, specializing in insects.
Not far away, someone was lying on the edge of the table, sticking out his butt and facing everyone.
A Luo walked over and said respectfully: "Master, Broken Sword is here."
The man quickly got up and turned around, it was He Lianchen.
A Luo helped him tidy up his robe and brushed off the wheat straw from his body. He Lianchen's eyes swept over the two of them and landed on He Lingchuan: "Are you Duan Dao? I seem to have seen you somewhere?"
"Mr. Wendalun Wen's home."
"Yes, yes!" He Lianchen patted his head, "You were standing next to Wen Yun's hospital bed at that time! Oh, what a pity."
Aluo explained to him: "Master is saying that it is a pity that Mr. Wen has passed away." After a pause, he added, "My master and Mr. Wen have been close friends for many years."
He Lingchuan Su Rong: "If I could have arrived earlier, I might have been able to save Mr. Wen."
He Lianchen waved his hands repeatedly: "It has nothing to do with you, our opponents never do anything!"
"I heard from A Luo that you are a good boy, and you have just been promoted to the Gale Army." He looked at He Lingchuan up and down, "Tell me the progress of your cultivation, especially since the last outbreak of the Emperor's Liquid."
He Lingchuan explained in detail.
During this period, Helianchen also tested his pulse and used his true power to explore the overall condition of his body.
"Not bad, um, not bad, let me think about it carefully." After saying this, he took out the pen and paper and thought carefully.
He thought for a long time, and He Lingchuan did not dare to disturb him.
Sun Fuling walked up to the glass cover and looked at each one, sometimes even feeding the insects with vegetable leaves.
He Lingchuan asked A Luo in a low voice: "What are these for?"
"These are pests collected from farmland all over the Chipa Plateau. Didn't you take on this kind of mission when you were on patrol?"
Huh? There really is, He Lingchuan remembered it.
Once Liu Tong received a task, which required the entire patrol team to collect hornet nests in Baimian Lake and other places. The task was not difficult, but the number required was large, and they had to be picked from four or five designated areas. The collection process was not easy. The bee coat on the door panel was torn, there were two big bites, and the face was swollen like a pig's head.
It is a typical task with cumbersome process and few rewards. Every time Liu Tong receives such a task, everyone will complain about it.
Panlong City releases various strange and bizarre tasks every day. Later, He Lingchuan found out that these were requirements of various ministries and departments and were indispensable.
It is not easy to keep this city running healthily.
A Luo walked up to a glass cover and called them over: "Look at this."
He Lingchuan came closer and saw the label on the front of the glass cover that read: "Special, Green Silk Borer."
There are two things inside the glass cover:
An insect as thick and as long as an earthworm, but its body is green with light blue segments and more than ten pairs of abdominal legs;
The other is a small light yellow moth, less than half the size of a person's little finger.
Sun Fuling flicked the glass cover with her finger, and there was a soft "ding" sound. The caterpillar inside was frightened and suddenly jumped up. It was very far away and hit the glass cover directly.
More than a dozen caterpillars hit the hood at the same time, creating a chaotic scene. Even moths were so scared that they flew all over the hood.
The two looked at Sun Fuling together, and she retracted her finger: "Sorry, I couldn't help it. I used to scare them like this when I was a kid. But these animals reacted too much."
A Luo pointed at the glass cover and said: "Not long ago, you reported the warning of Qianling Mountains and the city took it very seriously. We basically caught all the foreign monsters that sneaked into Qianling, and most of them were bird monsters. According to reports Confession, they come from the Northern Demon Country."
He Lingchuan frowned: "Why is the Bejia Kingdom joining in the fun?"
Qianling Mountains? He thought about it for a long time before he remembered that on the day when General Nan Ke temporarily called for patrols, they were doing a mission on the plateau and encountered a huge sika deer. This deer demon was to convey the information about Qianling Mountains.
Liu Tong went to report after returning to Panlong City. Following the clues at that time, there had been actions behind Panlong City.
Sun Fuling was not surprised and explained to him: "The Bejia Kingdom has been forcing Ba Ling and Xianyu to expand to the Panlong Wasteland. Bejia cannot be blamed for the current situation among the countries." She snorted, " This demon country likes to fan the flames and instigate wars, and has never been a good bird."
Aluo continued: "The mission of several bird monsters is to spread these borers into the rice fields on the Chipa Plateau as soon as possible."
"What's the function?"
"The green-threaded moth is different from the native species on the Chipa Plateau. Female moths can lay more than a thousand eggs at a time. The hatched moths eat a lot of food and have particularly good jumping ability. They attack rice seedlings three or four times as fast as other species. They themselves It is also toxic and birds will not eat it. Once this scourge spreads, it may lead to a large-scale reduction in food production on the Chipa Plateau."
"Damn!" He Lingchuan couldn't help but cursed, "Insidious!"
The fertile Chipa Plateau is Panlong City's confidence in resisting foreign aggression. If the food supply here drops sharply, the consequences will be disastrous.
"At that time, if we want to offset this damage, Panlong City will have to allocate more energy to it."
One of the wonderful functions of Yuanli is to adjust the climate and harvest abundant products.
This effect is naturally very good, but a city only has so much Yuanli, and the consumption here is huge, so the quota for fighting will naturally be less.
No matter what, the overall strength of Panlong City will be weakened.
The enemy is insidious, fighting from offensive battles to biological warfare. He Lingchuan murmured: "Hidden arrows are difficult to guard against."
