Ming Dynasty, New Rome, and Infinite Divine Machine

"It's the same thing as the snake pill you are looking for this time. It can even be said to be the same thing as Shangluo's current state. Do you know what's going on?"

Wen Yuan was surprised: "This is made of divine chromium, dragon pill? I remember the snake pill in Shangluo is made of light silver and can hold snakes. In turn, using divine chromium can hold dragons, right? ?”

"Correct answer." Zhu Ling replied, "So put it away and don't lose it. Shen chromium is very precious, and this is the only pair I have."

"Where did you get this?" Wen Yuan asked in surprise, "I have never heard of a treasure of this level. Where did you get it?"

Zhu Ling looked around and lowered his voice: "I'm telling you, don't tell my brother - it was given to you by the emperor."

"Dao Ancestor?" Wen Yuan and Han Xingzhi both took a breath of cold air, "Did Ancestor Dao summon you?"

"Yes. The emperor occasionally gives me some good things, which are made in that furnace. After Shangluo entrusted the two of them to me, the emperor gave me a container to store them so that I can manage them. So you don't have to worry. , The worst case scenario is that Shangluo can get in and out of the ball just like them. Just make a move and throw it out, and Shangluo can jump out of the golden ball and hit people! "

Han Xingzhi felt a chill in his back when he heard this: "If this really happens, who dares to hold the ball! I don't dare to hold it!"

"I don't dare either." Wen Yuan shook his head and said, "That guy usually looks very kind, but in fact he has a strong desire to control. I'm afraid he definitely doesn't want to be controlled by others. If he is installed in Long Dan, he will be rounded like a ball. Knead it flat, I don’t think he will let it go.”

"So, you should work harder. But~~" Zhu Ling touched his chin, "It would be good if he was brought back in a meatball. Then just leave him here! I will take good care of him. ! I will feed him, give him water, and take him out for walks regularly!”

Chapter 818 Good News

"Hey." On the way back with the two balls, Han Xingzhi asked with some fear, "Just now Zhu Ling said that she wanted to put her eldest brother in a ball to raise him. She is so scary."

"The people in Lao Zhu's family look normal, but in fact, they immediately became abnormal after discovering their own hobbies. Do you think that getting up early every day to make alchemy for more than ten years is already very powerful, right? This guy does it every year I go chasing pandas in the mountains during the dog days of summer, and I go there every year, and I don’t leave the mountains for two or three months.”

"She is more persistent than her brother. And she comes to the Royal Garden every day, right?"

"She spends her spare time here, so she shovels shit here at three o'clock every afternoon, which is the same as 'her brother must be refining elixirs at three o'clock every morning.'"

"The people in their family are so scary. I remember there were carpenters in the past. Oh, by the way! There were also people who made alchemy and raised animals in the past!"

"Shut up." Wen Yuan raised his hand and put it on Han Xingzhi's head, "Is this what you can say? It's neither light nor serious. In other words, you haven't done your job yet. If you were a Jin Yiwei, my master would just slap you It's coming up."

"What slap?" The familiar voice made Wen Yuan tremble. He looked forward and saw Lu Huaiyang standing at the intersection. It's not like she's waiting for him, but like she's waiting for the bus, eager to go somewhere.

"Ah, Master? I'm running an errand. I'm finishing it now."

"Where are you going now?" Lu Huaiyang asked him.

"Everything is ready. Now go to the bottom of the imperial dining room and prepare to climb through the window to get the snake pill."

"You wait for a while, wait here." Lu Huaiyang glanced at the Purple Mountain behind him, "The height here is still suitable, don't move here for the time being. I don't know if it is poisonous, so you can stay at this height first. Go down."

This is the back mountain of the Royal Garden and halfway up the Purple Mountain. The Royal Garden was the original royal garden, and the location halfway up the mountain was originally used to breed rare birds and animals brought as tribute. After the exhibition began, the activity areas of many large animals were still halfway up the mountain.

"Ah?" Wen Yuan asked confused, "Why do you need to look at the altitude? Has something happened?"

"Something big happened." As he spoke, a stream of water flowed along the ground from a distance. Because the terrain here is high, the water does not flow in front of them, but flows lower.

The air is filled with the pleasant aroma of wine and grass. This is the smell of Ambrosia.

It would be okay if it was just the smell. But the color of these liquids was a shocking red—not dark red blood, but more like freshly drawn blood, a bright red that was redder than tomatoes.

[Shangluo, there is bad news. You seem to be causing trouble. 】

"F*ck!" Shangluo hadn't heard yet, but Fu Yuanshan standing next to him had already received the news.

"What happened?" Shangluo asked.

"Something serious has happened! Your window is under the imperial kitchen, right?"

"Ah yes."

"That's you! Blood is gushing out of the basement of the Imperial Kitchen! It's like a fountain, there's no way to stop it! Hundreds of Xiaoling Guards rushed up carrying sandbags, but ended up getting swept away with them. There was no way to stop it. They were asking you what the hell is that? Why does it smell good? Is it poisonous? Why did everyone fall flat on their face after just one gulp?"

"It's not poisonous, don't worry. It's not blood. And if you can drink it, you can drink more. It's Ambrosia."

"Ambrosia? Explain." Fu Yuanshan took out his mobile phone and was about to start recording. The palace sent him an urgent message, asking him to ask Shangluo what the thing was that was sprayed out.

[The most precious divine wine in Rome. ] Apollonia explained, [It is the supreme sacred liquid that only the gods can enjoy. 】

"Then why are there so many? It's like a flood!"

[I didn’t know there shouldn’t be so many. The only possibility is that Shangluo did not eat Ambrosia, but ate the source of Ambrosia, and some strange reactions occurred. I was just pouring it into a cup to drink, but now the flow rate suddenly soared. 】

"Okay. Then why did you become paralyzed as soon as you drank it?"

【Hold on. After all, it is a divine wine, and most people will feel full after just one sip, and probably won’t need to eat anything else for the entire day. 】

"Okay." Fu Yuanshan breathed a sigh of relief, "I'll send the message back. If it's just like this, it's not a big problem. Well, it's not a big problem."

He's here to solve the problem, but it's not solved yet. Although this explanation did not convince even him, he had to provide information back in time.

Zhu Xianfen stood on the Xumizuo outside the Jinshen Hall, with a lot of people beside him looking out. From a distance, you can see that there is an extra fountain in the imperial dining room, and the blood-red water spurts higher than the imperial dining room. From time to time, Xiaoling guards and sandbags are rushed into the sky and fall to the ground together. Although no Xiaoling Guards were harmed, it was quite painful even for the monks who were rushed around.

"So what is it that is spraying out? It's red and looks pretty good?" Zhu Xianwen asked, looking back. Xiao Changci, who was standing next to him with a "bloody" face, was the commander of Xiaoling Guard. Although many odd jobs are done by the Jinyi Guards, when it comes to the duties of the Grand Palace itself, it is usually done by the Xiaoling Guards. Because strictly speaking, Xiaolingwei was the landlord of this land, and the palace itself was the "tenant".

Of course, the relationship between the imperial court and Xiaolingwei was not a lease-sale relationship. Just because Xiaolingwei's land is used, it is normal for this place to be managed by Xiaolingwei. When something went wrong, Xiaolingwei was the first to rush forward. As the commander, Xiao Changci hurried over to report with blood on his face before he could change his clothes.

"That's not blood, it seems to be some kind of juice."

"Juice?" Zhu Xianfen said in surprise, "Why is it so red? Is it tomato juice? Did Shangluo get some tomato juice?"

"No. I accidentally took a sip. It was sweet and quite delicious."

"Good guy." Zhu Xianfen looked him up and down, "Are you okay? Didn't you just say that everyone who drank was knocked down?"

"It's true. I feel full after just one sip. I feel like I don't need to eat anymore today. I still have spiritual energy after drinking it, as if I've taken a big mouthful of spiritual liquid."

"You are very brave." Zhu Xianfen could see that the Xiaoling guards over there were still going up to block the people. But even with this blockage, we still haven't seen any results. The bright red torrent has spread from the imperial dining room to all directions on the ground, pushing down fallen leaves and stones wherever it goes, like a mudslide. Everything it flows through turns bright red, and you can see the red field expanding from a distance.

Chapter 819 Happy Event

"Really?" Zhu Xianfen felt relieved after receiving the call. Group messages explaining the situation were also sent, and everyone who was watching the excitement from the Xumi Seat on the third floor felt relieved.

"What, it turns out to be fairy wine." Xiao Changci smiled, "If I had known, I would have drank a few more sips."

Everyone laughed, the seriousness and tension just now were washed away, and a happy atmosphere filled the air everywhere.

"I just said this isn't blood. How delicious it smells~" someone shouted from behind.

really. Although the color is a bit scary, the smell is similar to "auspicious". Although it is not as elegant as the fragrance of Zhilan, it can still be regarded as a refreshing fragrance. Just smelling it can refresh you.

Over there, Xiao Changci received another call and was immediately overjoyed.

"What do you enjoy? Your mouth is blocked?" Zhu Xianxian asked him.

"Hey! Your Majesty, what a happy event! The fairy wine has flowed into the Xiaolingwei melon field. Each watermelon has grown festive red vines. It is extremely festive and has become bigger."

Watermelon and dairy products are one of the pillar industries of Xiaolingwei. In addition to the milk factory, Weigang also has large melon fields. Before the Grand Palace moved here, most of Xiaolingwei's land was empty. In order to supplement military expenses, Xiaolingwei planted watermelons, because watermelons are easier to use among cash crops. Since the Wanli Year, Xiaolingwei's melons have been very famous. Although the Grand Palace now occupies a lot of Xiaolingwei's land, there is still land for growing melons, and melons are still sold for sale.

Among the melons at Xiaolingwei, the best ones are the Xiaoci melons grown not far from Queen Ma’s mausoleum (it would be disrespectful to call them Maling melons). The melons blessed by Queen Ma not only give you the taste of melons, but also provide you with peace of mind. Those in the family who want to be promoted and make a fortune, or who want to ensure a safe career, will offer filial piety melons with vines attached to them at home.

This year's melons are all red, which is more auspicious.

"Where can I find melons at this time?"

"The melons from the greenhouse are on the market in time for the New Year. The red melons are so festive, and they are even bigger than the melons in previous years. Someone cut them open and saw that the flesh of the melons is also extremely sweet, which is better than the best in previous summers. The melon is even more delicious.”

"Hey, that's not bad." Zhu Xianfen nodded and said, "Give me a piece later. Shangluo is coming to my house for New Year's Eve dinner this year, so this counts as the food he brought. Putting red melons at home is also very festive. very."

As long as it is confirmed to be harmless, the blood-soaked and scary feeling just now suddenly becomes festive and extremely auspicious.

However, at the next moment, not only Zhu Xianfen, but also everyone who saw this scene was suddenly shocked - they looked at each other, and they all knew what each other was thinking. When he turned his attention to the torrent again, the water had slowly flowed to the Grand Palace area, and the first one to bear the brunt was the Wuying Palace.

Wuying Hall is of a very high level, but it only has one level of Xumizuo, which is very close. When the red water flowed over, Wuyingdian was the first to soak in the water - when everyone looked over, Wuyingdian was already soaked in water.

The next second, there was only a "squeak" sound, the beams of Wuying Hall exploded, and the tiles flew away like an explosion. In the gaps between the tiles, there are green branches sprouting like balloons, sprouting vigorously. The entire beam is also constantly out of shape and skewed. Because the beam itself is growing larger and heavier at a speed visible to the naked eye——

There was a boom, and the floor shook three times. Wuying Palace collapsed.

When Fu Yuanshan received the news, his heart dropped. The thing he least wanted to see happened -

"Shangluo, I have some very bad news to tell you. Someone may want to settle a score with you."

"Um, what happened?"

[Just 20 seconds ago, Wuying Hall collapsed.]

"Why? What does this have to do with me?"

[Because the beams of Wuying Palace were made of building wood. After Ambrosia spread, the building wood expanded like a balloon, and then the entire Wuying Palace collapsed. 】

"Wait a minute! It's not just Wuying Palace that uses jianmu! I remember that many pillars in the three main halls are made of jianmu! It's over! It won't knock down the three main halls too!"

"Shangluo." Fu Yuanshan almost rolled his eyes, "Did you, what the fuck!" The latest news came over:

"The Imperial Ancestral Temple! The Imperial Ancestral Temple! The flood has rushed towards the Imperial Ancestral Temple! It's over! Shangluo, what can you do! It's not a big problem if the Wuying Palace collapses, but it's over if the Imperial Ancestral Temple collapses!"

"Ah...I...I don't know! How about I take a deep breath? Oh no, my lungs are not even aware of where they are. I can't do anything."

Zhu Xianwen hung up the phone with a look of despair.

"It's over. There's nothing Shangluo can do." Helplessly, he watched the water flow towards the Grand Palace. Following the collapse of Wuying Hall, the Wuying Gate outside Wuying Hall also collapsed. Unsurprisingly, these buildings were constructed partly from wood and the rest from reinforced concrete.

After the building timbers swelled, the entire structure of the building was overturned and broken by the vigorous building timbers. Only a lot of cement pillars were left standing in place, and the steel bars that had been broken by the explosion were exposed one by one. It was hopeless.

The more important the building, the more wood it uses. This is the case with the Ancestral Temple. While the Ancestral Temple is as large as the Fengtian Temple, the Xumizuo is only one floor and is very close to the ground. Now it is easier to absorb Ambrosia.

"The medicinal power of this thing is really overbearing." Zhu Xianfen was already prepared for the collapse of the Ancestral Temple, but now he was relieved. Everything that can be done has been done, and those who should be intercepted have already rushed forward. But this water does not need to spread all over, even if it is contaminated a little near the foundation, it will have an impact. Because Jianmu itself is extremely sensitive to such spiritual objects, the more sensitive he is, the faster he can absorb them.

"Ah, what should I do?" Zhu Xianfen began to wonder who should be responsible for this debt. And how to explain this if the red liquid flowed outside the Grand Palace. It can't be the leakage from the imperial kitchen, let's just say it's the tomato pot that exploded.

However, just when he was desperate, a call came to his mobile phone.

The other end of the phone said a few words in a hurry, which made Zhu Xianfen smile with joy. When I looked up again, I saw that the water had indeed stopped and was likely to be blocked.

"Okay, okay!" He shouted at the other end of the phone, "Quick! Let Qiuqiu drink more! If he drinks it all, I will give him the title of Dragon King!"

At the entrance of the imperial kitchen, Wen Yuan held a blue ball against the basement exit, and kicked the ball in amid the applause of the Xiaoling guards, blocking the opening. The dragon absorbs water very well and absorbs all the water. However, Qiuqiu's belly did not expand due to this, and he looked like he could drink more.

"It's okay, it's okay. Sure enough, the Dragon King still needs to control the flood. Now there's a problem. It's blocking the entrance here, how do we get in?"

Chapter 820 Blocking

"Hey, Qiuqiu, do you recognize me?" Wen Yuan called from behind. Although it didn't get any bigger after being stuffed in, all you could see from here was the ball's butt.

This was the first time Wen Yuan observed Qiuqiu’s butt. Like many aquatic mammals, Ball's butt is also streamlined, with no holes visible from the outside, only a narrow slit. From the perspective of the cloud whale's ecology, this is to keep the internal environment from being stressed in an environment with thin ambient air pressure. In order not to lose pressure, ordinary sphincter muscles cannot stop it, so we can only use such a narrow gap to drain.

In order not to be accidentally injured, he moved to the side of the seam. Because the raging water column was only blocked by such a "balloon", he had no sense of security.

It would have been fine if it was just spraying water out, so it was treated as if the tap water pipe had exploded. It doesn't matter even if Wuying Palace collapses due to the growth of wood. The key problem is that if this blood-red liquid flows onto the street outside, it will be a lot of fun. This is the core area of ​​Yujing, and the bustling business district is right outside the door. It would be extremely ominous if a flood of blood flowed from the Grand Palace.

The speed of information transmission is no faster than before. Telephones, telegraphs, and all kinds of media are gathered here. If this had been done hundreds of years ago, the Wanggong Factory explosion would have been regarded as an "unsolved mystery." But today, whenever the blood flows out of the door of the Grand Palace for a second, the machine-gun-like camera at the door will take pictures of it all, and it will be reported in the evening newspaper that night. If Shangluo opens the Internet at this time, in a few hours, everyone awake in the country will see this ominous sign, and there will be hundreds of cameras shooting from different angles.

In fact, there were many more people who went to the entrance of the Grand Palace to intercept the water flow than those who went to Wuying Palace to intercept it. After all, the collapse of one or two houses is just a valuable loss, which can be compensated for at a price. If it really affects the destiny, no one will be able to make it right at that time.

If all of this doesn't happen, it all depends on the cork-like ball in front of him.

"I said, Brother Qiuqiu!" Wen Yuan didn't know if he could hear it, so he had to shout from the side, "Brother Qiuqiu, you have to work harder! If you can't stop me, just say it!"

Qiuqiu still didn't respond. Although the body size has not increased, the belly has been stirring slightly. She stretched out her hand and patted him gently. His belly was still banging like a watermelon.

"Hey, Wenyuan, do you know how to count?"

Xiaolingwei here is also very familiar with him. After all, as a military householder of Jinyiwei, he has been moving around here since he was a child. He also followed Lu Huaiyang around, and there were more familiar faces than unfamiliar faces in the entire Wei Post.

"I don't know either!" Wen Yuan didn't dare to let go. He was afraid that if he let go, Qiuqiu would be flushed out by the shaken soda like a bottle cork. But if he really broke out, he knew he wouldn't be able to withstand it.

"Who sent a message to the emperor!" He turned around and asked, "Are we going to resist or something? Let him give instructions on how to deal with it!"

Before he finished speaking, a trail of water suddenly hit his face. He stretched out his hand and wiped it. His hands were red and his face was also red.

One way, two ways, three ways. The water flow expanded into a water column——

Only then did everyone present realize something obvious: the door could hold up, but the door frame could not.

The ball is stuck there and nothing seems to be happening. But the walls around the ball are being cracked by the huge water pressure and starting to disintegrate.

"What on earth is Shangluo doing?" Wen Yuan couldn't help but ask, "Why is there so much water coming out?"

As he opened his mouth to speak, a spray of ambrosia erupted into his mouth—the aroma of grass, mellowness, and wine spread throughout his mouth, followed by a huge feeling of fullness, like a balloon. It was only a small amount, so his stomach wasn't completely full. But the feeling of fullness, as if he had stuffed three bowls of rice in one breath, still made him stumble.

Seeing this scene, the other Jinyi guards and Xiaoling guards didn't care about anything else. They all rushed forward and stuffed the ball in. Even if the door frame is cracked, you can still stuff it with your belly.

Suddenly, a savior-like voice came from behind.
