Sky Curtain: With a vermilion mirror, Jing travels through the modern world, shaking all dynasties.

"Jingjing, stop knocking, I'm getting up right now!"

Jiang Chuan looked helpless. It's just a plane ride, why are you so excited?

Hearing this, the knocking stopped. "Brother, you'd better hurry! Jingjing is going to wash up first!"

The Great Ming Dynasty, Kunning Palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma were having breakfast in the palace when they suddenly heard their daughter's excited shouts coming from the sky.

Empress Ma looked up at the sky, her eyes full of love, and sighed softly, "Chongba, Jing'er is still the same girl. She's been like this since she was a child. Every festival, she comes to make a fuss before dawn, disturbing everyone's peace."

Zhu Yuanzhang yawned and laughed, "It's not her fault. She'll be taking that 'airplane' to the sky soon, and even I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep a wink!"

Modern airport.

Zhu Jingjing held Jiang Chuan's hand, her bright eyes darting around, her pretty face filled with excitement.

The dome was high and wide, bright as day, and the giant screens on all sides were shimmering with light. People came and went in an orderly manner.

"Brother, this is the airport?" she exclaimed, her eyes wide. "It's much more magnificent than Father Emperor's palace!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhu Jingjing slipped out of Jiang Chuan's grasp like a little sparrow that had broken free of its rope, and was about to run freely in the spacious hall.

Jiang Chuan smiled helplessly, gently pinched the back of her collar, and pulled her back to his side. "Jingjing, you're not allowed to run or jump here! If you don't behave, you might get thrown into a dark room!"

Zhu Jingjing was indeed taken aback. She nodded obediently, her eyes darting around. "Brother, why don't I see any airplanes?"

"The plane's outside, we'll see it soon." Jiang Chuan reached out and ruffled her hair, gently saying, "Let's check our luggage first. Be a good boy/girl, and don't be naughty! Otherwise, I'll confiscate all the cotton candy you secretly stuffed into your suitcase!"

Zhu Jingjing stuck out her tongue, not expecting that he had found out about the cotton candy!

"Checked luggage?" She tilted her head, her eyes filled with confusion. "Can't we carry our things with us?"

Jiang Chuan nodded slightly, his voice gentle yet earnest: "There are many rules on airplanes. You are usually only allowed one piece of carry-on luggage, and there are restrictions on its weight and size. Everything else has to be checked in, and we can only see it again when we arrive at our destination."

The Great Ming Dynasty, Fengtian Hall.

Empress Ma nodded in approval, saying, "This method of entrusting goods is truly convenient! Large luggage does not need to be carried with us, saving us the trouble of traveling and the hassle of guarding it along the way."

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly and pondered, "It's convenient, but with so many people entrusting the transport, how can we distinguish which items are ours? And if they are lost or damaged, who should we hold accountable?"

Empress Ma raised her hand and pointed to the sky, laughing, "Chongba, future generations will have their own good plans. Otherwise, why would so many people be willing to entrust their goods to others?"

Modern, before security check.

Zhu Jingjing stared at the winding queue ahead, her heart pounding, and unconsciously tightened her grip on Jiang Chuan's arm.

"Brother, what's going on?" She pointed at the passengers going through security, her eyes filled with anxiety. "Look, that person has their arms outstretched, and someone's sweeping something long and black all over them. Could it be some kind of witchcraft?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chuan almost burst out laughing, but quickly managed to suppress it.

Fortunately, she kept her voice very low, otherwise, if the people around her had heard it, wouldn't it have caused a ruckus?

"That's a security check, to see if passengers are carrying anything dangerous," Jiang Chuan whispered in her ear. "The thing the security officer is holding is called a metal detector. If a passenger has a metal object and it's detected, it will sound an alarm."

"Is it really that amazing?" Zhu Jingjing's eyes widened, her face full of disbelief. "It can detect it without even touching it?"

Jiang Chuan took her hand and moved forward a step with the group. "That thing has a very keen nose! No matter how well you hide, it can still find you!"

Before long, it was Zhu Jingjing's turn for security check.

"Jingjing, don't be naughty, cooperate with the inspection!" Jiang Chuan instructed, giving her a gentle push on the back.

Zhu Jingjing walked forward with some doubt and, imitating the passengers in front of her, opened her arms.

The detector started beeping as soon as it scanned her shirt pocket.

"Jingjing, is your phone in your pocket? Take it out quickly!" Jiang Chuan quickly reminded her.

Zhu Jingjing hurriedly took out her phone.

After the security check was over, she exclaimed in shock, "Brother, that thing has a really good nose! I had completely forgotten about my phone, but it smelled it right away!"

The Qin Dynasty, Xianyang Palace.

Ying Zheng gazed at the sky, then suddenly slammed his fist on the table and rose to his feet, shouting sternly, "If such a thing existed, how could I have allowed such a villain to approach and assassinate me back then!"

Li Si stepped forward and bowed deeply: "Your Majesty is absolutely right. If we can examine this item, even if a villain tries every trick in the book to conceal his weapons, he will find it difficult to bring it before the Emperor."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Gao hurriedly stepped forward with a fawning smile: "Your Majesty is wise and mighty, and the people are devoted to you. How could any assassin dare to harbor rebellious thoughts?"

Ying Zheng glared at him angrily and said coldly, "Have you forgotten the deeds of Jing Ke, Gao Jianli, and Zhang Liang? Even though I am wise and sagacious, how can I guarantee that there will be no rebellious thoughts within the four seas? Are you saying this because you fear that I will strengthen my defenses, leaving you no opportunity to strike?"

Zhao Gao was greatly alarmed. He prostrated himself on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly, and said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty is wise! I am utterly loyal; even if I were to be shattered to pieces, I would never dare to harbor the slightest thought of assassination!"

Ying Zheng snorted coldly: "That sounds nice. Although you don't have the guts to assassinate me, I'm afraid what you're really plotting is how to seize my Qin empire!"

The Great Ming Dynasty, Fengtian Hall.

Zhu Yuanzhang exclaimed in amazement, "How strange! That 'detector' could smell what Jing'er was carrying without ever touching her. It's truly unbelievable!"

Empress Ma nodded in agreement: "This object is truly wondrous! If our Ming Dynasty's checkpoints possessed such a device, then bandits and villains would have nowhere to hide."

Zhu Yuanzhang paused for a moment, then added, "Not only that, this item can be used to thoroughly examine a person's body in full view of everyone, and it can also prevent cruel officials from using the guise of body searches to frame people and extort money."

modern.

After passing through security, Zhu Jingjing shook Jiang Chuan's arm and asked excitedly, "Brother, when will we be able to see that plane?"

Jiang Chuan gently pinched her pretty face and laughed, "What, can't wait? Let's go board the plane now! Don't be scared and hide behind me when you see that giant steel bird."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Jingjing pouted and said indignantly, "Brother, it's not like this is the first time Jingjing has traveled here! After seeing so many new and strange things, how could I still be scared?"

Jiang Chuan pretended to ponder, counting on his fingers, "Really? You were so scared on the subway that you burrowed into my arms, you screamed so loudly in the haunted house that the roof almost fell off, and..."

"Stop, stop, stop!" Zhu Jingjing stamped her foot, interrupting, her face flushed as she shouted, "What happened before doesn't count! Anyway, Jingjing definitely won't be scared this time, just you wait and see!"
