At this time, in the Makaton Palace, Senior Zhu was concentrating on checking the intelligence collected by the "Tiqi" organization.
"There is no 'spirit-shielding stone'? How is this possible?" He frowned deeply while looking at the description in the intelligence.
Regarding Senior Zhu’s investigation, we have to start talking about it more than a month ago.
More than a month ago, he successfully met Zhong Feng and talked about what happened on Blue Star.
During the conversation, something caught his attention, and that thing was the "Spirit-Shielding Stone".
Before the "Gravity Funnel" incident, the monks' base camp, the giant spring in Yunlu Mountain, had been attacked twice.
Ordinary people controlled by the Skrulls sneaked through with "shielding stones" and came to the base on the top of Yunlu Mountain.
Because the top of the mountain was densely populated and there were many roads at that time, these ordinary people controlled by the Skrulls caused very serious damage.
After hearing this, the "Lingshishi" thing immediately attracted Senior Zhu's attention.
On Blue Star, the Shielding Stones were gathered together and destroyed by the First Emperor when the Qin Dynasty unified the country; but on Skrull, such things still exist!
The Skrulls' innate skills make them very good at disguise.
After the war begins, if the Skrulls use their innate skills in conjunction with the "Spiritual Shielding Stone", wouldn't they be able to easily penetrate into Blue Star's rear and cause huge harm?
Now that he thought about this, he couldn't ignore the matter.
Therefore, for more than a month, Senior Zhu asked the Tiqi organization to conduct an in-depth investigation on the "Shielding Stone" to find out its inventory, mining location, which major forces are in control of it... and other key information.
Just today, the results of Tiqi's investigation were released.
But the conclusion reached was completely beyond Senior Zhu's expectation.
The results of the investigation read - there is nothing similar to the function of the "Spiritual Shielding Stone" on the planet Skrull, and there is no record related to it in the historical documents.
Seeing this, a series of question marks appeared on Senior Zhu's forehead.
How is it possible? There is nothing similar to the "Spirit Stone" on Skrull? Where did the "Spirit Stone" used by the Skrulls come from?
He sat on the dragon chair, holding his chin in his hand, puzzled.
…
Just when he was about to call the person in charge of the Tiqi investigation for questioning, a light on the side of the throne suddenly turned on, emitting a red light.
Seeing this light coming on, Senior Zhu immediately understood - it was Zhong Feng who was coming!
So he temporarily put down what he was doing and got up to go to the cave.
He wanted to hand over the prepared "Moonlight Positioning Stone" to Zhong Feng, and at the same time, he also wanted to tell him about the "Spirit-Shielding Stone".
And he also wants to say "good job!" to Zhong Feng because he has been paying attention to the Dragon Clan's affairs. Zhong Feng was able to induce the Dragon Clan to besiege Sun City, and he accomplished his task very well!
…
But when he arrived at the entrance of the underground cave, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Senior Zhu stood at the entrance of the cave and used his powerful magic power to sense the situation inside the cave.
The last time Zhong Feng came, Zhong Feng directly released his aura, and he caught it as soon as he entered the cave.
But this time he didn't feel Zhong Feng's aura, not just Zhong Feng, he didn't feel anyone's aura.
Could it be that it was someone else who came? And that person hid his aura?
Senior Zhu stood at the entrance of the cave and asked cautiously: "Zhong Xiaoyou, Zhong Xiaoyou, are you there?"
A rough voice came from inside: "Haha, Brother Zhu, Xiaoyou Zhong is not here, he entrusted me to come here."
Hearing this voice, Senior Zhu was shocked: "You are... Fellow Daoist Cao!"
Flying into the cave, he saw Prime Minister Cao sitting on a stone bench inside the cave.
Prime Minister Cao stroked his beard, stood up and said, "It's me. I learned your contact information from Zhong Xiaoyou, so I came over to take a look."
"Oh my, I didn't expect you to come here... I've heard about the fact that you got the hilt of the [Sword of Thousand Proverbs]. It can be said that it shocked the whole world!"
"You're not bad either! You have gained actual control over such a large kingdom, and you have already restored the strength of the combined stage... To be honest, I am still only at the peak of the distraction stage!"
Senior Zhu and Cao Cheng approached each other and chatted affectionately.
The relationship between Prime Minister Cao and Senior Zhu was already very good. Before the Skrull invasion was announced, they were the first two monks to decide to go out and fight against the alien invasion.
Moreover, the work of contacting other monks was basically done by the two of them. Emperor Liu Che, Emperor Taizong, and even the powerful kings of the West, King Arthur and Jun Shiyi, all came out of seclusion due to their pain and suffering.
Moreover, the two of them live very close to each other, with Prime Minister Cao living upstairs from Su Yu and Senior Zhu living downstairs from Su Yu. After a long period of cooperation, the two can be said to be good friends.
So when they met again, the two chatted very happily.
…
After chatting for half an hour, the reminiscing between the two came to an end.
Prime Minister Cao finally regretted: "Zhu Daoyou, actually I really want to continue chatting with you. We still have a lot of things to talk about. But the space tunnel leading to Blue Star is about to be closed, and I must go back now."
"Then let's talk about it next time." Senior Zhu looked regretful.
He took out a small "Qiankun Bag" from his storage equipment and handed it to Prime Minister Cao:
"Fellow Daoist Cao, there are 50 'Moonlight Locating Stones' inside. The next time you teleport here, as long as you hold this stone in your hand, you can teleport to this underground cave. You don't have to worry about being teleported to the Scrooge or any other dangers."
place."
"There is such a good thing!" Prime Minister Cao's eyes lit up.
In the transmission, Zhong Feng only told him that the "moonlight positioning stone" was very important to mankind, but did not say the specific effects of this positioning stone.
I didn’t expect the effect to be so good!
With this kind of stone, they don't have to worry about being teleported directly to the enemy's lair like a thousand cups without getting drunk.
"However, Fellow Daoist Zhu." Prime Minister Cao changed his tone and said seriously: "You must also pay attention to keeping confidentiality! If all our people are teleported to you and leave the Kingdom of Makaton, it is very likely that Skark will be attracted.
Lu people's attention.
But don't expose your identity because of this, it would be too much of a loss."
"Don't worry, I will keep it confidential." Senior Zhu replied seriously.
"By the way, there is one more thing." Senior Zhu continued: "This matter is about the 'Lingshishi'..."
Taking this opportunity, Senior Zhu told Prime Minister Cao about the situation related to the "Shielding Spirit Stone".
At the end of his words, he added: "When you go back, you'd better tell the other monks about the 'Lingshishi'. I always feel that something is wrong with this matter.
Of course, I will continue to search for relevant information here, and if I find any major gains, I will let you know next time."
