Ming Dynasty, New Rome, and Infinite Divine Machine

"No need for now, I didn't ask. And if they want to negotiate later, they will have to tell you. If they hide something, it won't be too late to tell you then - but, Senior Fu, this thing seems to be quite useful."

"You're right." Fu Yuanshan nodded. "This thing's skin is actually quite thick, and its mobility and defense are pretty good, but it has no firepower at all. It's only equipped with a riot shield and an electric baton. If there are as many as the Crab General, it's actually quite useful. These things might be able to defeat many armies on Earth."

"What about fighting with us?" Shangluo asked.

"With us? I'm afraid that's still a long way off. Let's defeat North Korea first. Although these crab generals can cover the sky and the earth, North Korean soldiers are endless. Why bother to refine people into golden elixirs? There are plenty of ready-made high-quality soldiers in North Korean factories, and they can be pulled out and used. Before all the North Koreans are defeated, these things of the Dragon Palace are still inferior - not to mention that the Royal Division has now begun to equip individual soldiers with explosive weapons, and the shells of these things are as good as paper."

"But then again," Phaethon thought, "No wonder Xu Fu is so experienced. It turns out that he learned all these things just like a mirror."

"I just don't know who is the instigator."

Looking at these things in front of him, Fu Yuanshan handed the golden elixir in his hand to Shangluo: "What do you think? Who leaked these technologies to Xu Fu?"

"The rebels of the Dragon Palace have not actually been caught yet - but we may have seen them now. These may be the work of the 'Mirage Princess' who colluded with Kame Princess. It's just that it has not been confirmed yet."

"That's easy, just take him back for interrogation." Fu Yuanshan made a phone call, "Wait a minute, this Jindan state can also be interrogated, I'll call someone over."

"Oh, no need to go through so much trouble." Shang Luo first held the four golden pills in his hand, then took out a large tortoise shell and smashed it on the ground:

"Just ask her." He waved the golden elixir tortoise shell in front of him.

"I won't tell you! I won't tell you even if you kill me! Go ahead and beat me!" Guiji's muffled voice came out from her turtle shell.

"Tsk, you've already confessed, haven't you?" Shang Luo held up the tortoise shell and made it stand upside down. "Since you won't say it, then this is true? Was the Dragon Palace's technology leaked to Xu Fu by that Mirage Princess?"

"Ah!!! You, you bad guy!" With her limited vocabulary, she couldn't even find the right words to scold Shangluo. "Bad guy" was already a pretty severe accusation for her.

"Same here. You guys are no better than me for doing this to a living person."

"But. But they were not captured by force. They. They all owed a debt to the Dragon Palace."

"So if you don't owe debts, you can't be arrested, right?"

"If they don't owe any debts, the Dragon Palace can take it from them or not. They must have made a wish to the Dragon Palace to be put into the pill. That's all I know."

"You are very straightforward today. Why did you tell me everything? In the past, you only answered one question after three questions. Why is it so strange today?"

"Please, don't turn me upside down. I'm about to have a brain hemorrhage."

"See you later." Shang Luo didn't give her much time to relax and stuffed her back in: "So, that's probably it. Shen Ji is probably here, and everything seems to be guided by her. Xu Fu probably bribed her with something to let her copy the equipment of the Dragon Palace here."

[In fact, if that's the case, then Mirage seems to be the technical director of the Dragon Palace? At least the director of engineering, because these seem to be copied using Mirage Qi. Xu Fu's method is probably different from Mirage Qi, but its prototype should at least need to be copied using Mirage Qi. It's no wonder that King Ao Zang is anxious when such an important talent is lost. ]

"Shangluo." Fu Yuanshan asked, "Should we take care of this matter?"

"I don't think so. We just need to stay informed and be vigilant. Let the Dragon Palace handle their own affairs - but I am very interested in the true appearance of this Crab General. It doesn't seem to be the same as the Roman automaton."

"Completely different." Phaethon said, "These things are quite powerful! You can even say that these fighting machines are too powerful. Although automata are also of this model, their power is not yet greater than that of ordinary humans. They are completely powerless. And these mechas actually have the force to maintain law and order. They are really quite powerful. It is hard to believe that mass-produced automata can have this level of power. Even I really want to know why."

"Then let's make this part of our request to the Dragon Palace - but it would be quite troublesome if all these things were on the road. Senior Fu, can you knock them all down?"

"Easy." Fu Yuanshan flipped his hand and a whole row of Gundams appeared from between his fingers. "I'll shoot as many as you can."

"Wait a minute." Phaethon said, "It seems that these are not soldiers, but police. If we attack them all, they will all die, right?"

"Oh, if he dies, he dies." Shangluo waved his hand, "It's no big deal."

"No, I mean, is there any restriction on Senior Fu's side?"

"Ah!" Fu Yuanshan nodded hurriedly, "Indeed! I almost forgot, thank you very much. These policemen only have non-lethal weapons, and they are not using military weapons equivalent to mine. If I blow them all up, I will lose merit!"

Phaethon reacted faster than Fu Yuanshan himself. She immediately realized that Fu Yuanshan's magic power would generally be used when the opponent had equal force. Fu Yuanshan would not kill indiscriminately, he would not kill people who were not holding weapons. These people only had sticks and shields in their hands. According to the standards of Fuyuan Dao, killing them would be against the harmony of heaven.

"So that's how it is." Shangluo took out his hunting knife. "That's easy. Since Senior Fu is not willing to help, I'll have to open the holes of these machines. I'm a little excited just thinking about peeling crabs. It just so happens that crabs are still in season recently. I was so busy that I forgot about it before. When I go back, I want to try a crab that can be peeled with just one knife."

Chapter 1223 White Star

When Shangluo arrived in Chiba, the fleet on the sea continued to operate. The aircraft group was on duty and patrol as usual, and the radar and artillery were all online.

"Hmm???" The radar soldier in front of the screen saw a strange bright spot. On the circular screen, the markings spread out like a spider web, and the image was refreshed as the radar itself rotated. The large search radar of the Suiyuan did not rotate very fast, so the frame rate of the screen was as high as 1.5 seconds.

1.5 seconds ago, that bright spot appeared on the edge of the screen, indicating that a certain aircraft had moved to a position 400 kilometers away from the ship, which is the limit of radar detection. Being able to be detected at this distance means that the target's signal is very obvious, most likely some kind of large aircraft.

And this large aircraft, after refreshing the screen for 1.5 seconds, moved a whole scale on the screen - this means that this thing moved a full 1.5 kilometers in 5 seconds! After a simple calculation, it can be found that the aircraft is roaring towards the ship at 10 times the speed of sound. And the aircraft did not activate the IFF system.

The radar soldier took off his headset and said, "Report to the commander! A high-speed target is approaching from the direction of Qianhai!"

The commander of the radar room looked up at the screen of the same size on the wall. There was a copy of each of these screens. Qianhai was in the northwest, specifically due northwest by north. With just one glance, the unidentified flying object skipped another scale -

He immediately picked up the phone: "This is the radar room! There is an incoming missile! It is expected to reach our ship within 2 minutes!"

"Attention turrets 12 to 16! Shenglong-2, 4 rounds in salvo!"

"Wait!" In the bridge, Admiral Li, who was just taking a nap, was awakened by them, "Stop! That's not an enemy!"

"Commander-in-chief! That one doesn't have an IFF mark!"

"That's right! The White Star is not a military aircraft and has no IFF markings. Call on the radio, give me the microphone."

After 30 seconds, he put down the phone.

"Everyone, take it. Just pretend nothing happened." When he put down the phone, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

From the phone call just now, he knew that His Majesty the Holy Emperor was on that plane. Although the Emperor was easy to talk to, with the speed of the Royal Army's combat readiness, if he issued the order a second later, the medium-range air defense missiles would have been launched. This was obviously not appropriate.

Although the performance of the medium-range anti-aircraft missile [Soryu II] was actually not enough to hit a target like the White Star head-on, firing at the Emperor would ultimately lead to some criticism - fortunately, he made a timely judgment and the missile was not fired in the end.

"But, should the signals from both sides be connected to each other? It doesn't seem reasonable."

Li Dudu muttered. Any movement of these weapons beyond the mortal world would seem quite terrifying in front of the sensory equipment that was one generation behind. The technology of the Ming Dynasty was quite advanced, but the cutting-edge technology brought by the Qigong practitioners was still too daunting for the mortal world. After this battle, the communication systems of both sides should at least be integrated. At the very least, the IFF device should be installed on the White Star.

The White Star that Zhu Xianxin was on was about to arrive at the military airport that Yokohama had prepared overnight.

Although the White Star looks like a sophisticated hypersonic aircraft, it can actually land on a field airport. After all, the fuel needed to run this machine is a miracle itself, and a smooth landing on a field airport is also part of the miracle. In fact, the White Star can also land directly on an aircraft carrier, but because the objective success rate is too low, it needs to consume too many "miracles" and the cost-effectiveness is too low.

Its use at field airports is a controllable expense, just like the disposable booster rockets used by many large transport aircraft when taking off and landing in the field.

But before the White Star saw the horizon, the Imperial Guards aircraft carrier Suiyuan's air search radar had already shown its bright spot -

"I didn't expect to be targeted by an electric detector." Zhu Xianxi was a little annoyed. "What bad luck. I didn't want to be noticed. Now everyone knows about it."

He looked at Lan Daoxing beside him and asked, "Is there anyone waiting for me down there?"

"Yes. If Daozu has made arrangements, then someone should be waiting for you downstairs—and if Xu Fu knows what's good for him, he should be waiting here."

"I hope he will know better. After all, you just mentioned that those Penglai immortals have no father, no king, and no laws."

"Your Majesty, please rest assured about this." Lan Daoxing replied, "Although they have no father and no king, they will not take action against the emperor. At least in terms of business, they are trustworthy."

The White Star arrived at the landing field and lowered the landing gear. Although it was possible to land at a field airport, it was still quite bumpy. Fortunately, Zhu Xianxin, who had already reached the level of a celestial being in his physical body, no longer cared about this level of bumps. He sat there without moving, just waiting for the plane to land smoothly.

After landing, Lando walked to the cabin door and opened it. According to previous instructions, no one came to pick him up, and there was not even a gangway.

This was also the first time that Zhu Xianxin encountered such a situation - standing at the hatch, with nothing below.

"This"

"Go down." Lan Daoxing pointed ahead, "The celestial beings don't need a gangway, Your Majesty, please go down."

"Tsk, it's not that we can't make do with it, but there's a little psychological gap." The three people jumped down from the hatch and landed steadily. There were many people looking at the edge of the landing field not far away, but according to the order, no one stepped forward.

"Hey, what's behind?" Zhu Xianxi looked back, but the cabin door was already closed. The White Star's engine restarted in front of the three people, turned around and took off directly.

Zhu Xianxun managed to keep his balance in the huge wake. When the blockade fell, the White Star had already flown back into the sky against the landing runway.

"Okay." The three of them looked at each other, and the one who was fishing said, "How about we go find something to eat first?"

"Do you think we are here for tourism? Tell me, what should we do now?"

"Xu Fu, that's the only way. Just go find him."

"But where is Xu Fu?" The three looked at each other. This was the first time they were thrown into this strange place. It didn't make sense, but it had happened before them.

"Why do I feel like I've been robbed?" In the empty airport, there was a cool breeze blowing all around, without any shelter. Fallen leaves and flying birds flew over their heads, and fallen leaves surrounded them. For them who have always lived in a "busy" place, this was an unprecedented loneliness -

"Hermit, welcome the emperor." A voice suddenly came from behind. Before the three of them could look back, everything went dark - they were not put into the sack, but the sky turned black.

A huge full moon had hung in the sky at some point. In front of him was a palace under the moonlight. Two tigers were beating drums, and there were many immortals. Standing there were not only unknown immortals, but also familiar ones. Standing in the front were Master Sa and Master Qiu.

Everyone is applauding.

Chapter 1224 Palace of Eternal Life

[Shangluo, I just saw your senior brother's plane arrive.]

"He told me that he was coming. But he also said that I didn't need to worry about him and that I should just do my own thing."

[But I saw that the plane took off again within 1 minute after landing. Isn't it a bit weird? ]

"Uh" Shangluo thought for a moment, "Forget it, don't worry about him."

[Is this not something we need to worry about? He is actually the monarch of the world, right? ]

"The fastest solution is to remove the fuel from the fire. We can cut off Xu Fu's power supply within ten minutes. I'm not his mother, so I don't have to take care of his emotions."

The temple dedicated to "Zhenwu Emperor" was in this city, but because the entire city was covered by construction, the temple could not be found for a while.

"I never thought that one day I would have to calculate Feng Shui." He and Fu Yuanshan were acting separately, each holding a compass in their hands to find the place where the earth veins converge.

"So, is this it?"

"From the perspective of Feng Shui, this is it." Fu Yuanshan replied.

The two looked at each other under the viaduct. Under the viaduct, there was a small temple like a land temple - it was not an ordinary land temple, but a cat temple like the one that enshrined Zhao Gongming Black Tiger, which could only be regarded as a shrine.

Phaethon walked around the shrine several times but didn't see any secret passage.

The shrine was covered by a tiny door, and in front of it was a box of cigarettes, a few bottles of drinks, and even a half-opened bottle of sesame oil. Petals from the trees on the side of the road were falling, landing on the roof of the temple.

"That's really it?"

"Yes, this is it." Fu Yuanshan also looked at the compass in Shangluo's hand, "These two compasses can't be broken at the same time. If they both point here, then this is it."

"But this doesn't look like a proper temple at all."

"Wait, look at these tributes in front of you. Do you see them?"

"Aren't these just a bunch of junk?"

"No, no, no, look carefully. There are five kinds of offerings to the gods: incense, flowers, lamps, water, and fruit. Look, there are incense, flowers, and this. There is sesame oil."

"Sesame oil is a lamp?"

"That's right. Offering lamps is actually offering oil. You don't need to light them yourself, just offer the oil. The best oil is sesame oil, which is what we call fragrant oil."

"What about the water and fruit? This water will do, right? This is a bottle of mineral water!" A plastic bottle of mineral water was placed there. It was not opened, but because it had been offered for a long time, a lot of the liquid had evaporated.

"It really has to be mineral water. The 'water' in the fragrant, flower, lantern and fruit usually has to be well water, that is, groundwater, so that it is clean - so it is right to offer clean mineral water. As for the fruit, you can see that the bottle is orange juice with fruit particles, so this is the fruit."

"Is this even possible?!"

"The gods know what is in your heart." Fu Yuanshan replied, "There are big ways to worship, and there are small ways to worship. There should be other arrangements beside, not just these tributes. But judging by the complete tributes, it is most likely here - let's get started."

Phaethon, who was standing next to him, reached out and helped Shangluo open the door of the shrine.

Sure enough, there was a vague tablet enshrined inside. There seemed to be some golden characters on it before, but they were all worn away. If you can't identify it, you can't tell that the one enshrined here is Zhenwu Emperor.

"But this is under the overpass, and we can't see Beichen from here." Shangluo looked up -

"Wow! There's a drain on the top, and it lets light in! Is this how all the pre-Qin alchemists set up their formations?"

"Perhaps only Xu Fu's sect uses this arrangement. As long as it really works, it doesn't matter how it's arranged."

Then he asked Shangluo: "Then you just need to place this knife in the shrine. The 'God of the North Star' enshrined here is Miaojian Bodhisattva, who can generally be regarded as the incarnation of Zhenwu Emperor. You have already gathered the resentment of this land into this knife. Now, just place it by your side, and you can convert it just like sending Red Boy to Guanyin's side to be Shancai Tongzi."

As he spoke, Fu Yuanshan bowed his head and said, "May you be blessed with infinite blessings. Saving the soul of a dead general is also considered a good deed."

As long as this knife is put in and converted, everything here will end. Fu Yuanshan took out a few pieces of talisman paper and prepared to burn them. Shangluo took off the magic knife from his waist and opened the door of the shrine.

"???"

【? ? ? 】

Several people were stunned.

The shrine is too small to fit halfway in. The other half is stuck outside and can't go in.

Fu Yuanshan was so angry that lightning shot out from his palm, and the talisman paper was electrocuted and cracked.

"Damn Xu Fu!" He pointed to the sky, "Come out if you have the guts! You're here to make your grandfather happy, right? If you don't come out!"
