45. The cooperation of Ji Lutian, the monthly pass of the stone for making up the sky)
Inside the hollowed-out mountain, Zhang Chunlin stared at Zhou Shu with his eyes wide open.
After Zhou Shu's body flashed with light, everything from his figure to his appearance changed drastically.
The originally scarlet eyes became black and white again.
The aura of the body has also become completely different from before.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Zhang Chunlin would never have believed that there was such a trick in the world!
He has no flaws at all.
Even if he just watched helplessly, he wouldn't think that the demon race before was the same as the obviously human race in front of him!
"Are you really human?"
Zhang Chunlin felt his throat was a little dry.
"What you said is a bit like swearing."
Zhou Shu shook his head and said, although this ever-changing magical power is very magical, it has a flaw, that is, it only lasts for one day.
After one day, you need to re-cast.
Although there is no skill cooldown time during this period, the change process will continue for several seconds, so there is still a certain risk of exposure.
Zhou Shu asked Yao Aotian to hollow out the mountain. Firstly, he needed to use this place to do some work that would not be seen by the demon clan. Secondly, he also wanted to find a place where he could safely change.
"Now you should completely believe it."
Zhou Shu said, "You are from Daxia, and I am also from Daxia. Speaking of which, I am still the King of Zhennan in Daxia——"
"There is no title of King of Zhennan in Daxia!" Zhang Chunlin said in a deep voice.
"How many years have you been away from Daxia?"
Zhou Shu asked rhetorically.
"I fell into the hands of the demon clan during the twenty-year martial arts performance of the Ten Kingdoms."
Zhang Chunlin was a little ashamed. After all, being captured alive by the enemy was not a glorious experience.
"Twenty years ago, I wasn't born yet, so of course I didn't have this title."
Zhou Shu said casually.
Zhang Chunlin frowned and said, "Are you less than twenty?"
"With your age, how can you be granted the title of King?"
He looked unbelieving. He now believed that Zhou Shu was a human being, but he did not believe that Zhou Shu was the King of Zhennan in Daxia.
How can a young man in his twenties become the prince of a country?
How many people with extraordinary talents may not be able to obtain the title of king despite their whole life's struggle. How could he be a young man?
"Believe it or not, it's up to you."
Zhou Shu didn't bother to explain too much, "As long as you know that I am a human race."
"I need you to cooperate with me to do something now."
Zhou Shu continued, "Now I am helping the demon king Huli in the demon world build a demon king palace——"
"Why?"
Zhang Chunlin asked.
"There is no reason."
Zhou Shu said, "Otherwise, how could we deceive Huli and those big demons out of their hands?"
"I understand."
Zhang Chunlin suddenly said, "You want to take advantage of the opportunity of construction to line your own pockets and put the original consumption into your own pocket."
"You understand quite well."
Zhou Shu said, "Were you an official in Daxia before?"
"I was the great Sikong of the Forging Department in Daxia!"
Zhang Chunlin said proudly.
"Zhubing Division, Da Sikong?"
Zhou Shu looked at Zhang Chunlin with some surprise. This was really unexpected.
No wonder this guy is so familiar with enriching his own pockets. Does the decline of the Great Xia Weapon Division have something to do with this guy?
When he was an apprentice in the Weapon Casting Department, Zhou Shu felt that the system of the Weapon Casting Department in Daxia was extremely unreasonable, and it was as good as a sweatshop.
Yin Wuyou has only just become the Chief Sikong of the Forging Department, so that kind of bad habit is definitely not her fault.
Now we have finally found the root cause. Zhang Chunlin is so familiar with lining his own pockets and taking bribes. I think he did similar things many times when he was the Chief Sikong of the Forging Department.
"Do you know Zhu Chuanfeng and Xiao Zongshui?"
Zhou Shu asked.
For some reason, Zhang Chunlin felt that the man's eyes in front of him had become a little unkind, which made his back feel a little hairy.
"Of course I know him. Master Zhu Chuanfeng is a good friend of mine. Xiao Zongshui is the head of the workshop, so I am familiar with him."
Zhang Chunlin said.
"Hmph, it seems you are not a good person either."
Zhou Shu snorted coldly, "If you weren't in the demon world and it was the time to employ people, I should really have thrown you to the demon beasts."
"What do you mean?"
Zhang Chunlin's face darkened.
Although he has cooperated with Zhou Shu for the time being, he is afraid of the other party without him. After twenty years of torture, what else is he afraid of?
"I'm too lazy to tell you."
Zhou Shu said, "You'd better not do what you did before in the Great Xia Zhubing Division in front of me. Otherwise, don't blame me for dealing with you the same way I dealt with Xiao Zongshui."
"How to deal with Xiao Zongshui? Who are you? What do you mean by this? What happened to Master Zhu and Xiao Zongshui?"
Zhang Chunlin was confused. He didn't know why this person had a good attitude before, but when he heard that he had been a master craftsman of the Daxia Forging Division, his attitude suddenly changed.
"Dead."
Zhou Shu said coldly, "Stop talking nonsense and start working. Since you have been the chief minister of the Weapon Casting Department, you should be familiar with the process of forging soldiers."
"Nonsense! Before I became the Chief Sikong of the Weapon Forging Department, I was the youngest Weapon Forging Master in the history of Daxia!"
Zhang Chunlin said angrily.
"The master craftsman would be better."
Zhang Chunlin didn't see the look of shock on Zhou Shu's face. He only saw a flash of light on Zhou Shu's body, turning into a monster again, and then walked out.
Craftsman, I don’t need to find anyone else to refine the materials for making weapons. You can bring someone to handle it for me."
……
Zhang Chunlin and the more than 100 human captives were busy working endlessly in the hollowed-out mountain.
I don’t know if it’s just luck or something, but there are just over a hundred people, but there are more than a dozen weapon-smiths among them!
This actually made Zhou Shu somewhat unexpectedly happy.
Making the best use of everything, Zhou Shu directly handed over the weapons-making materials that were continuously transported by the monsters to Zhang Chunlin and others.
And he himself devoted himself wholeheartedly to the core casting work.
That's right, the so-called Demon King's Hall, Zhou Shu planned to use the method of casting weapons to cast the Demon King's Hall as a weapon!
He had carefully considered it, and if he tried to fool Huli by using shoddy engineering methods, he might not be able to fool him.
But in that case, how to bring the soldier-making materials he had seized back to the camp would become a big problem.
The space of the Universe Bracelet on his body is very limited, and it cannot hold the massive amount of weapon-making materials that he defrauded from various great demons.
If Zhou Shu gave up these weapon-making materials, Zhou Shu would feel distressed for hundreds of years.
So he simply changed his mind. Since it was difficult to take away these weapon-making materials, he might as well use them all.
If the Demon King's Palace was cast into a peerless divine weapon, wouldn't these weapons-making materials not be wasted?
When the time comes, he will just run away with the Demon King Palace and let the Demon King draw water from a bamboo basket with all his strength. Wouldn’t it be wonderful?
But thinking about it, casting the Demon King's Palace as a magic weapon is not a simple task. Zhou Shu has no idea whether it can be done or not.
"Buzz——"
Just when Zhou Shu was looking at the drawings and repeatedly trying out designs, there was a sudden sound and the Sword of Eternal Life appeared out of thin air.
Shi Changsheng's figure appeared on the sword, laughing.
"I am a strong man at the peak of the Cave Heaven Realm. How can I trap you in a small space? How about I come out of it?"
He looked proud.
Zhou Shu was also a little surprised. He kept the Eternal Sword in the Heaven and Earth Bracelet, but Shi Changsheng was able to freely enter and exit the Heaven and Earth Bracelet? A strong man at the peak of the Cave Heaven Realm is really not just bragging.
Zhou Shu was a little shocked, but Zhou Shu didn't show anything on his face. He just glanced at Shi Changsheng, then lowered his head and started working.
His reaction made Shi Changsheng feel proud of the audience. He was stunned for a while, and then lowered his head in disappointment. It was boring!
The Sword of Eternal Life circled around and suddenly stopped on Zhou Shu's drawing.
Shi Changsheng touched his chin and looked at the movements of Zhou Shu's hands with a thoughtful look on his face.
After a moment, he suddenly said, "Boy Zhou, do you want to build a Tianshu arsenal?"
"Tianshu Arsenal? What do you mean?"
Zhou Shu said without raising his head.
He heard from Shi Changsheng that the Tianshu Arsenal was the arsenal of Danshan Chishuitian, and was used to store Danshan Chishuitian's precious items and various magic weapons.
The Tushan Demon King is plotting against Tianshu Arsenal, and I don’t know if she has gone in now.
Zhou Shu is not very interested in the Tianshu Arsenal, let alone how to get in. Even if he goes in with difficulty, who knows what is inside.
If it were just magic weapons, Zhou Shu would not be interested now. He would cast the innate magic weapons himself. As long as he was given time and enough materials to make weapons, how many innate magic weapons could he not cast?
"Aren't you planning to cast this hall as an innate weapon? Isn't that the Tianshu Arsenal? Do you think I don't understand?"
Shi Changsheng said disdainfully, "Let me tell you, I helped a lot with the design of the Tianshu Arsenal."
"Oh? Mr. Shi, you helped design the Tianshu Arsenal?"
Zhou Shu raised his head and looked at Shi Changsheng.
Tianshu Arsenal is a magic weapon. Zhou Shu heard Shi Changsheng say this, but he just didn't expect that Shi Changsheng would be related to it.
"Back then, I was one of the strongest weapon casters in the world."
Shi Changsheng said proudly, "You didn't expect that, did you?"
"If you want to cast the Tianshu Arsenal, ask me how it is cast. I know every step."
Shi Changsheng held his head high, as if if you come to me and beg me, I will tell you.
"There are indeed some things that I can't figure out, and I would like to ask Mr. Shi for some pointers."
Zhou Shu raised his hands and said indifferently.
"Forget it, I have a lot of money, so I won't care about your previous rudeness."
Shi Changsheng waved his hand and said.
"Shi Lao Renyi."
Zhou Shu said with dignity.
"That's it. Boy Zhou, I've been good enough to you, right? If you get any benefits in the future, don't forget me."
Shi Changsheng said.
Zhou Shu smiled and heard Shi Changsheng continue.
"Back then, when Diao and I designed the Tianshu Arsenal, we originally designed it according to the specifications of thirty-three days, but it failed in the end, so the final Tianshu Arsenal only had nine floors, which is the Nine Heavens.
”
"The gap between the ninth heaven and the thirty-third heaven is too big."
Zhou Shu said.
"What do you know!"
Shi Changsheng said angrily, "If you follow my design, I will definitely be able to build the thirty-third heaven. Diao doesn't listen to me and insists on his own way. Failure is a matter of course!"
"Boy Zhou, if you listen to me, you will definitely succeed."
Shi Changsheng became a little excited, "If you can really cast the Thirty-third Heaven, and when you break through the Cave Heaven realm, and directly let the Thirty-three Heavens merge with your Cave Heaven, then I can guarantee that you will be
The strongest cave heaven realm in the world!"
The more Shi Changsheng talked, the more excited he became. Looking at him like that, he wished he could roll up his sleeves and cast it himself.
Zhou Shu said without comment, "Old Shi, when you built the Tianshu Arsenal, were you already a strong man in the Cave Heaven Realm?"
"Of course."
Shi Changsheng said.
"All the powerful men in the Cave Heaven Realm have failed. How can I cast the thirty-third heaven?"
Zhou Shu said, "I just want to build a big hall. At best, it can be regarded as a heaven."
"You kid——"
Shi Changsheng looked like he hated iron and said, "Don't you want to be the strongest person in the world?"
"I don't want to."
Zhou Shu said simply.
Shi Changsheng: "..."
"Boy Zhou, becoming the most powerful person in the world will bring many benefits. At that time, you will have to choose all the good things in the world first, and all the beauties will be at your disposal——"
"You have really become the most powerful person in the world, and I can also benefit from it..."
"Not interested."
Zhou Shu said, the last words in your heart should be your purpose.
The Eternal Life Sword needs to consume a large amount of weapon-making materials to perfect itself. Zhou Shu is aware of this. Perhaps this is why Shi Changsheng has stayed with Zhou Shu.
Zhou Shu didn't mind that Shi Changsheng had his own plans. They were just using each other. Isn't adult interaction just about exchanging benefits?
"Old Shi, I have a few questions, look here -"
Zhou Shu interrupted Shi Changsheng's words and directly began to ask him about the problems he encountered when designing the Demon King's Palace.
Although Shi Changsheng was a little helpless, he still answered Zhou Shu's questions.
I have to say that Shi Changsheng was not bragging. He was indeed very familiar with how to build a palace into a peerless magic weapon. In one sentence, Zhou Shu's doubts were solved.
Zhou Shu also discovered that the art of weapon casting mastered by Shi Changsheng was far more profound and sophisticated than that of today's weapon forging masters from the Ten Kingdoms. This may be because the art of weapon casting has been lost, or perhaps because Shi Changsheng's level is higher than today's.
There are too many master craftsmen.
This was the first time that Zhou Shu met someone who knew as much as him about the materials for making weapons. Even if he was a master craftsman, he was still far behind Zhou Shu in terms of his proficiency in the materials for making weapons. p>
As the two discussed, a casting plan gradually took shape in Zhou Shu's mind.
Just when he understood the casting method of the Demon King's Palace, a light suddenly flashed in front of his eyes, and the map of the divine weapons that had not been seen for a long time automatically appeared in front of his eyes.
There was a rustle of turning, and a blank page appeared in front of Zhou Shu's eyes.
On the blank page, as if someone was splashing ink, a majestic palace emerged with speed visible to the naked eye.
On the plaque of the main hall, four big characters gradually appeared. When he saw those four big characters, Zhou Shu was stunned.
