Ask Sword

The guard of Dongjun Building is an old doctor. He sits behind the long table behind the screen wall, his whole face is pierced by a long-standing scar, thick glasses are on the bridge of his nose, and he is looking down at an ancient book.

The old doctor didn't have any aura fluctuations all over his body, like a pure ordinary person.

He only showed up at the academy assembly at the beginning of the school year, and even Li Ang and other students didn't know his name—it seemed that he was already in the academy when Pu Liuxuan's generation first entered school.

Xue Che took off his badge from his belt, put it on the old doctor's desk, and said respectfully: "Guardian, these students are going to participate in the trial."

The latter looked up at him indifferently, picked up a pen and wrote a few lines on the list,

In the next moment, the cold aura that enveloped everyone dissipated, and the uncomfortable feeling of being watched quickly receded.

‘Some kind of prohibition to prevent unregistered thieves from trespassing or stealing alienated objects in Dongjun Tower. '

Out of the corner of Li Ang's eyes, he glanced at the book in the hands of the old doctor known as the gatekeeper. There was no text on the book.

Weird books, weird gatekeepers.

The crowd followed Xue Che through the long corridor, and met some "people" with strange shapes along the way.

They wore uniforms of school staff in only three colors of black, white and gray. Their movements were stiff, their expressions on their faces remained unchanged, and they had bunches of keys pinned to their waists, and they went in and out of various rooms.

Some people also push small carts with all kinds of weird items on them.

Dried crickets, smashed jade, hot soup with green onions, etc.

"Puppet servant."

As if knowing what everyone was thinking, Li Hui said in a low voice: "There are many alienated objects in Dongjun Building, and some alienated objects only need to be locked in the box and sealed, and they will no longer be demons.

And some alienated substances are active, and need to be "maintained" every once in a while, and act according to specific rules to calm them down.

Each alienated object corresponds to different laws, and a little carelessness will lead to disaster consequences.

Even a doctoral scholar who specializes in this is difficult to cover everything.

Therefore, Dongjun Building will use this kind of lifeless, puppet machine servant who can only follow the rules to complete trivial and complicated maintenance work. "

"."

Li Ang looked at the lifeless machine servants and narrowed his eyes.

Puppetry is a combination of Nunxue and Talisman. There are many genres, such as controlling others as puppets like Yajiu,

There are also puppet brothers like Yu Yong Yuyuan met in Taiyuan Mansion back then—the puppets they made with secret methods are lifelike, no doubt like living people.

With so many puppets in Dongjun Tower in front of me, who is controlling them? Who is providing the energy?

and

Li Ang observed carefully, and found that the appearance of these puppet machine servants seemed too perfect, whether it was the dry and forked hair or the pores of the skin, they were not as real as dummy.

'No wonder in the ghost market, there are rumors that the academy smuggled away the death row prisoners from Chang'an City Prison for experiments on alienated objects. '

Li Ang paused, "I don't know if these puppets will be wood, cotton, or bamboo when they are taken apart."

In the strange atmosphere, everyone passed through the long corridor, and after pushing open a heavy door, the scene before them suddenly opened up.

Here we have reached the other end of the mountain. The cliffs on both sides are towering and steep. Several streams fall vertically along the rugged mountain walls, falling into the deep green pool below like waterfalls.

Around the rocks, many wooden scaffoldings are built to form a dock.

In the center of the dock, there is naturally a ship.

A floating giant wooden ship.

Many students exclaimed subconsciously, the ship in front of them was too big and tall,

Aunt Yu's sailing ship, which Yu Jiangnan was proud of and could carry hundreds of crew members, was like an insignificant small sampan in front of her.

"The former Sui Tianjiao was 100 feet long, 15 feet wide, and weighed nearly 18 million catties. It used Kunlun Ruomu as the keel and Xuantie Mountain Copper as the skeleton."

Xue Che said in a rather complicated and subtle tone: "In his blueprint, the sky glide can carry more than 20 kinds of flying beasts, hundreds of war-altered objects, and tens of thousands of crew members.

It is the creation of the craziest and most arrogant fantasies of the emperors of the Sui Dynasty. "

"Sui Dynasty Sky Wing."

A Jing country student opened his mouth, his eyes almost popped out, "It turned out to be true."

Li Ang and Pei Jing's school disciples couldn't help but also took a deep breath. In some pre-Sui unofficial histories, it was recorded that the emperors of the Sui Dynasty were obsessed with finding the sacred mountain and island in the endless sea that could give people eternal life.

They sent countless monks, scholars, and ships to the Endless Sea to search for news about God Island for them.

It's a pity that no matter how huge a ship is, it can't cross the endless sea full of dangers and terrifying monsters.

Therefore, they decided to use their national strength to use certain war structures in the pre-Qin period as prototypes,

Use unspeakable and forbidden methods to build an unprecedented giant ship.

The passengers on this giant boat will only be the clan of the Sui Dynasty and some servant families who have proved their absolute loyalty.

The emperor of the Sui Dynasty will personally board the giant ship and lead the royal family and people across the endless sea to the legendary Paradise Island.

As for the ending, as stated in the history books of the State of Yu, the last emperor of the Sui Dynasty died suddenly and suddenly, and the empire fell apart in a blink of an eye.

"After the death of Emperor Sui, because he had no heirs, the former Sui clan selected a new young emperor. Facing the flames of war, the young emperor decided to use this unfinished Tianshang to suppress the rebellion.

It's a pity that before this, hundreds of sects had already teamed up to open up the Chang'an formation, burning, killing and looting everywhere.

This Tianshang was also buried under the cliff during the war, and did not wait for the opportunity to sail until the Sui Kingdom perished. "

Xue Che gave a rare emotional sigh, and led the crowd to step on the creaking planks to board the giant ship.

Head Shan, Cardinal Xinxiu and other representatives from various countries are already waiting at the bow of the ship.

Cardinal Xinxiu remained calm and indifferent as always, while the faces of Uncle Jing Guo, Nan Zhou Guoshi and others couldn't hide their stiff smiles.

Tianjiao is the creation of the pinnacle of the national power of the Sui Kingdom.

Even if some of the structures and formations above are the secrets of the former Sui royal family, they cannot be copied and used in the present.

Most of the alien beasts and alienated objects carried as weapons on the Tianjiao were also destroyed.

Such a magnificent giant ship, as long as it can hover and fly, is a huge threat to all countries-not to mention, when the two armies are facing a stalemate, the sky flies far above the battlefield, and the morale of the enemy army collapses on its own .

"All here?"

The head of the mountain glanced at the many students who boarded the ship and looked around, and signaled to Chen Danqiu, the sacrificial wine.

The latter nodded, untied a simple jade pendant from his belt, and put it in the center groove of the flat rudder of the bow.

Hum——

The rudder lights up a round of twilight, and the seven sails are raised by themselves, hunting and fluttering against the strong wind in the canyon,

The dozens of heavy iron cables tied to the ship's fence and dock also untied by themselves, releasing the giant ship.

The wooden decks creaked incessantly, but not the dying groans of a rotting ship,

It's more like a giant war beast that has been sleeping for a long time, exhaling and waking up.

Skywing, started.

Except for a few Candle Xiao cultivators, everyone subconsciously grasped the railing of the ship to resist the violent shaking of their feet,

Li Hui raised his arms, released his mind power, and blocked the falling stream above his head,

A disciple of the Southern Zhou Dynasty on the other side of the deck couldn't react in time, and was drowned by the waterfall.

The steep mountain wall retreats slowly,

With the generous sunshine, the front line of sight is suddenly clear,

Forests, farmland, roads, cities.

Li Ang breathed the morning breeze and looked down at the land of Yu State.
