As the stargazing instruments on the top of the Toad Palace were running, the roof of the Toad Palace slowly opened, revealing a circular opening.
Through the layers of dark clouds, the miserable and cold moonlight and starlight were cast into the Toad Palace through the round skylight, shining on the kneeling girl, and also on the Phantom Sound Treasure Box and the copper box on the table.
In another room, Concubine Yan changed her handprints again, and the true energy around her body instantly condensed into the energy of Longyou. Correspondingly, the places where the Toad Palace girl and Qian Taki were located also underwent the same changes.
The aura of dragon wandering lingers on the phantom sound treasure box and the copper box, and it seems to be faintly emitting a low roar like a dragon's roar.
Under the influence of the constantly flowing Longyou Qi, the copper box began to tremble slightly, and as the copper box trembled, the space around the girl seemed to be trembling, with ripples appearing.
At the same time, on the round skylight above the girl's head, golden lines began to appear faintly, and gradually became clearer.
At this time, a look of pain appeared on the girl's face, as if she was suffering from some kind of injury.
Concubine Yan in the other room had no expression on her face. She just looked at the trembling copper box on the table through the bronze mirror, but did not open even a crack in the copper box. She resolutely changed her handprints again, her whole body was full of true energy, and the lingering feeling around her
The energy of Longyou becomes more and more blazing and abundant.
As her skills improved here, the pain on the girl's face became more obvious, and even Chitaki's face began to show discomfort on the other side.
However, the effect of this is also very significant. The trembling frequency of the copper box increases accordingly, and it seems that it will open at any time.
At the same time, the lines on the skylight of the Toad Palace became increasingly clear, revealing its true appearance—a star map.
A more accurate description is an astrological diagram describing the seven constellations of the East, which are the seven constellations of the Qinglong, Kang, Di, Fang, Heart, Tail, and Ji, which represent the four spirits in the sky.
In other words, it is what many people call Canglong Qisu.
It is early autumn at this time, and the seven constellations in the east should be in the sign of "Up to Nine, the dragon has regrets", that is, the "blue dragon" has risen to a very high point and started to turn around and sink to the west.
However, the Canglong Qisu in this star chart is clearly the symbol of "Nine Five, Flying Dragon in the Sky".
As the star map was completely formed, the low dragon roar that could be heard faintly from the copper box suddenly stopped. Instead, a thin layer of illusory golden light appeared, which was not noticeable in the dazzling golden light of the room.
.
Although she couldn't see clearly, Concubine Yan noticed the change in the copper box immediately, and she knew in her heart that the heat was almost done.
………………
On the other side, in the mountains and forests outside Xixiang Valley Road, the situation of Master Ban and others became increasingly urgent.
The Qinglong, the leader of the four spirit beasts of the Mohist Mechanism, can even be said to be the best Mechanism beast in the world. It is completely insurmountable even by public losers, and truly represents the crystallization of the highest achievement of Mechanism.
It is also the biggest trump card for the Mohist family to gain a foothold in the world.
But there has always been a problem with this trump card, that is, the Mohists themselves cannot use it well.
Since the founder Mo Zhai created it, Qinglong has become the Mohist family's greatest reliance, but it has also become the Mohist family's greatest danger after Mo Zhai's death.
Because except for the founder Mo Zhai, no one in the Mo family can fully control this ultimate crystallization of machine skills.
This is why the Mohist government city was built on the basis of the government city Qinglong - it is not only the final means to make a comeback after the government city falls into a desperate situation, but also the source of danger that must be suppressed by the government city.
As for Qinglong Qinglong, Master Ban is the same as the masters of the Mohist dynasty in the past. In short, the seven orifices are connected to the six.
The reason for this is not only because the mechanism Qinglong itself is special and contains many secrets, but also because the masters of the Mohist mechanism technique in the past generations, including Master Ban, have not been able to study this mechanism, the first of the four spiritual beasts, in person.
It is impossible to conduct actual research and can only rely on some blue dragon design drawings handed down from the Mo Zhai era for indirect research. Naturally, no clues can be obtained from the research.
As one of the most outstanding mechanical masters in the world, Master Ban was like a novice driver who had just passed his driver's license when facing Qinglong.
If you ask him how to start the car, he knows how to do it. If you ask him about the structure of the car, he can probably tell you a thing or two, but if you ask him to repair the faulty engine, he really has nothing to do.
After conducting a routine functional inspection on Qinglong, Master Ban confirmed two points.
First, there is probably something wrong with Qinglong, and it could spin out of control at any time.
Secondly, there was nothing he could do to stop it.
At this time, the ground where Master Ban and the others were standing was trembling slightly, as if an earthquake was about to occur.
This is the prelude to Qinglong's upcoming move.
That is to say, the Xixiang Valley Road is now a mess, otherwise the East Patrol Team would most likely detect any unusual movement here.
After all his efforts, Master Ban sighed deeply and waved his hand to signal other Mohist disciples to evacuate the place as planned.
Since there is no way to stop it or save it, we can only break the pot and let everything continue to develop.
Anyway, the disciples of the Nongmo family have already retreated. At this time, there is only the Eastern Patrol Team in the Xixiang Valley Road. As long as Qinglong does not deviate too far from the planned movement path, the people who will suffer the consequences will definitely be the people of the empire.
But the Qinglong that loses control may not be able to kill Ying Zheng.
………………
On the mountain walls on both sides of the Xixiang Valley Road, Gu Xun looked up at the gloomy sky and suddenly said:
"The Blue Dragon is coming."
Bai Feng, who had already made a guess in his mind, couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this and confirmed, "Sir, are you talking about...the mechanism of Qinglong?"
"Yes..." Gu Xun nodded, but then changed the topic, "But it's not just the mechanism Qinglong."
These words made Bai Feng, who was originally shocked to see Qinglong in action again, suddenly stunned.
What does ‘more than’ mean?
In addition to the Qinglong Machinery, are there any other Qinglongs in the world?
Gu Xun did not explain Bai Feng's doubts, but suddenly sighed without any clue, "I'm afraid Sanghai is not at peace at this time."
Songhai?
Bai Feng became even more confused after hearing this.
What else can Sanghai do now? Most of the people who can cause trouble have gone here tonight... Could it be that they are from the Yin Yang family?
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Gu Xun still ignored Bai Feng's doubts and warned him, "Be careful later to avoid being affected."
"...Yes." The confused Bai Feng could only respond dryly, with an awkward look on his face.
………………
In the east patrol convoy, the battle between the assassination group of Yingzheng and the assassination group of Luowang is still going on.
Due to excessive procrastination by Gai Nie and others, Zhang Han even rearranged the outer encirclement and arranged the most suitable manpower to increase the chance of retaining them as much as possible.
Of course, the so-called suitable manpower is actually the crossbowman.
Melee infantry is not much different from wooden stakes to these martial arts masters. Only flying props such as bows and crossbows can interfere with them.
The number of crossbowmen in the imperial guard accompanying the convoy was neither too many nor too few, about five hundred. However, due to the rush of time and the many previous casualties, he only had time to mobilize three hundred generals at this time.
It's hard to say how much effect it will really have.
If there is enough time, all the manpower of the Forbidden Army Guards are transferred, plus the crossbowmen from the garrison in the place where reinforcements are coming, Zhang Han can gather at least 800 people, which will be much more manpower.
It's a pity that there is not enough time at all.
Such tedious manpower mobilization would require at least two sticks of incense, or even half an hour.
Although Gai Nie and the others are still entangled, they have only been struggling for a quarter of an hour from the time they appeared to now. If they have to work hard for another quarter of an hour at most, they will definitely have to run away.
While the battle was fierce outside, Ying Zheng inside the carriage finally stopped handling the memorial.
It was not because of the fighting outside, but because he suddenly began to feel uneasy.
As an emperor with a firm will and a tough temper, Ying Zheng had to worry about many things every day, but he rarely became upset and angry because of them, and his mood remained very stable.
It's even rarer to be upset for no reason like tonight.
This is the only time Ying Zheng was impressed by this sudden change in his emotions... but it was a very deep impression.
That was the time when Jing Ke assassinated him.
When Jing Ke took hold of Can Hong, Ying Zheng began to have unreasonable fear in his heart, completely out of his control, as if he had encountered a small animal that was its natural enemy.
His emotions at that time were just like his emotions at this time. They were totally without reason and went deep into the deepest part of his heart, making it difficult for him to restrain himself.
The dusty long-lasting memories were awakened, and even with Ying Zheng's temperament, he couldn't help but feel a little worried at this time.
He glanced at the situation outside through the curtains. Although he was dissatisfied with Zhao Gao and Zhang Han's delay, he also knew that his side was in a favorable situation and there was no sign of being overturned by the other side.
However, the surging emotions reminded Ying Zheng that something must be happening, which in turn aggravated the restlessness in his heart.
This urged him to do something, but Ying Zheng still suppressed this impulse with his own perseverance and continued to remain calm.
He is completely unaware of the situation now, and it is not a wise move to act rashly. Moreover, the behavior of those rebels is obviously abnormal, and there is no guarantee that there is no conspiracy behind it.
If you move yourself, you may step into a trap.
In this case, it is better to continue to wait and see what happens.
Of course, there is also the possibility that the other party will do the opposite. Ying Zheng will be in danger only if he does not move, but nothing will happen if he moves.
However, Ying Zheng did not think about this matryoshka doll cycle.
Because if you start the matryoshka doll, you can repeat it in an infinite loop, and the guessing will be endless.
In any case, he is now under the strictest protection, and if he moves, it will only expose more flaws.
………………
The excitement dozens of miles away does not affect the silence of the mirage parked outside Songhai Port.
From the outside, the ship looks just like any other night.
The places where the lights should be lit are on, and the places where it should be dark are dark. Everything seems normal.
However, if your eyesight is good enough, you can notice that there is something obviously wrong with the light emitted from a certain cabin. It does not look like the light of a lamp or candle at all, but looks like the color of gold under the sun.
At the same time, you will also find that the stargazing instrument on the top of the Toad Palace, the highest point of the mirage, begins to operate on its own.
In the central room of Toad Palace, after Concubine Yan's hard work, the copper box containing the secrets of Canglong Qisu was finally opened under a star map representing the Qisu of the East.
Just like when she opened the copper box many years ago, it was extremely troublesome this time. Several people struggled, and the copper box was only opened at a very small angle.
Maybe the opening angle is larger than that time, or maybe there's no difference, but it's not that big anyway.
As the copper box was opened, a strange aura suddenly erupted. The girl seemed to be shocked, and the movements of her hands completely stopped. The pain on her face also disappeared, showing a calm state.
In another room, the image in the bronze mirror in front of Concubine Yan began to blur and became vaguely visible.
Concubine Yan had no choice but to form seals and perform spells again, and finally managed to maintain the image, but she seemed completely unable to control the girl.
On the other side, in the room where Concubine Yan and her daughter were hiding, Qianlong's expression also became calm, and her whole body exuded a soft golden light.
At this time, she closed her eyes tightly, but an extremely clear scene of the cabin appeared in her mind, as if she had an invisible eye that could move freely.
Chitaki tried to move her eyes, and found that she could control them freely, and the corresponding scene appeared in her mind.
In this way, she can really do what her mother told her before, stay in the room and monitor everything on the entire ship.
Just when Qiantaki began to explore the mirage in surprise, there was an extra person in the room where Concubine Yan was.
The moon god is back.
Looking at Concubine Yan who had taken her place, a mixture of emotions flashed across her face - she was dissatisfied with her position being taken, she was envious that Concubine Yan could do this, and there was also a trace of unexplained excitement.
Come with hesitation and hesitation.
Then she calmed down her emotions and reminded in a deep voice, "Canglong Qisu has been pried away by you. There is no point in continuing to hold on. It's time to stop."
"That woman won't hold Xinghun back all the time."
When Concubine Yan heard this, a trace of unwillingness flashed in her eyes, but she could only stop.
Just as Luna said, her goal had been achieved the moment she opened the copper box, and continuing to persist would be harmful and useless.
As soon as Concubine Yan stopped, the surface of the bronze mirror immediately returned to normal, reflecting Concubine Yan's delicate and pretty face.
At the same time, the girl in the central room of the Toad Palace regained consciousness, and the Phantom Sound Treasure Box stopped rotating, folded and folded layer by layer, and automatically closed into a small box.
As for the copper box, it was quietly closed long ago.
In the cabin where Concubine Yan and her daughter were hiding, Qianlong, who was happily exploring the mirage, suddenly lost his consciousness. When he came back to his senses, he found that he had opened his eyes and returned to reality.
She quickly closed her eyes and practiced her exercises, trying to get back into the same state as before, but found that she couldn't do it at all.
This made her very depressed.
After trying several times unwillingly, the bad news is that she still can't enter that state. The good news is that she has grasped a vague feeling. If she tries more, she may be able to succeed.
This gave Chitaki some comfort despite feeling sad.
………………
At the same time, in Zibei Water Pavilion.
Xinghun walked towards the exit of Zibei Water Pavilion with a gloomy face, thinking about the situation of his previous meeting with the woman in Ying Prison.
He gained a lot from this meeting and got a lot of valuable information.
But a lot of doubts arose in my mind.
Leaving aside the matter about Canglong Qisu, what he is more troubled about now is why that woman is suddenly willing to let go?
Although the other party has always said that they are willing to cooperate, their attitude has never been positive enough and somewhat perfunctory.
This time, he took the initiative uncharacteristically.
