Ming Dynasty, New Rome, and Infinite Divine Machine

"'Be good, this hydrogen balloon is for you. Go downstairs and play. My sister-in-law is busy.' My sister-in-law gave me a hydrogen balloon. Doesn't that mean I can fly to the sky? Hydrogen is so light. I can fly to the sky in no time."

"We are not in the Jiajing Dynasty. We don't ask for this riddle. And that person won't agree to let you go."

Dong. A chime sounded from a distance. When it came to Zhu Ling, even the one in Yuxi Palace became more talkative.

"I know it's not okay, but you have to let me test it, right?"

"Don't cause trouble for Shangluo. You are not allowed to go!"

"Then can I go and get some credits?"

"Sure. But don't mess around. Since you signed up, do your job well and don't embarrass yourself. Get along well with others, complete your work on time and in full, and don't ask for favors from others."

"But actually, I am already a Qi practitioner. I have a sense of Qi."

"Have you ever practiced any martial arts seriously?"

"Five Animal Exercises! I've practiced this before."

"Let's not talk about the elementary school physical education class," Zhu Xianxun turned his head and said to Shangluo, "I'm afraid you won't believe it, but she suddenly realized her Qi sense when she was learning the Five Animal Exercises in elementary school physical education class. I originally thought that it would be a great honor for me if my family could produce a cultivation genius. But she is still at the elementary school level and has not made any progress at all."

"It's enough. The Five Animals Exercises are so powerful! Tiger Exercises, Tiger Pounce, Tiger Weightlifting! Bear Exercises, Bear Shake, Bear Dribble! Monkey Exercises, Monkey Lift, Monkey Pick Peaches!"

"If you think you can become an immortal by doing your elementary school radio gymnastics, then you are underestimating this path. As for your brother, I have been working hard to make elixirs for 20 years! I started learning alchemy when I was in kindergarten. At the age of 12, I made my first batch of rejuvenation pills. At the age of 19, I broke through to the Qi training stage. As a result, I didn't break through to the foundation building stage until last month. I almost lost my life. Look at you. If you practice hard, maybe our family can produce a real celestial being. When that happens, I won't care where you go."

"Eh? Didn't you disagree with me going?"

Zhu Xianxin knocked on the table: "I see you have a problem with my education policy? When did I restrict your freedom without caring about anything? I am very open-minded. I will let you go wherever you want. If you want to go to the movies, I can put down my work and go with you. If I don't let you go to a place, I must have carefully considered it before not letting you go. Think about it yourself, can you go to the moon? The moon is a vacuum! 100 degrees Celsius during the day and minus 150 degrees Celsius at night. What are you going to do there? Be a sandbag for Shangluo as a counterweight?"

"Then if I'm promoted to a celestial being, it won't count as a counterweight?"

"Yes. As long as you get promoted, it won't count as counterweight - so, if you can help, if you don't cause trouble, why would I not let you go? It's because you didn't practice well since you were a child, and your cultivation is not as high as that of the panda you raised. Now that you missed the opportunity, who can you blame?"

"Okay." Zhu Ling nodded in agreement. But Shangluo saw her eyes from the side. Shangluo saw the words "This matter is not over yet" in them.

"Very good, you're sensible. If you don't obey me, I'll use family rules." After saying that, he looked at Shangluo, "It's a good thing you're here. Are you free tonight? Stay for dinner."

Shangluo was quite happy to hear Zhu Xianxun invite him to dinner, because Zhu Xianxun liked to eat braised pork and braised pork elbow, which suited his taste. But he still had to eat the public rations in the evening, so he had to eat.

"Actually, I have someone here who wants to see you. If it's okay, would you like to meet him?"

"Who?"

“Brother, brother!” A cheerful voice rushed in from outside the door, “Are you really here? Where are you? Ah! You are Shangluo!”

【Why is there another one?】

A boy who looked like a junior high school student rushed in wearing a school uniform, grabbed Shangluo's hand and shook it vigorously: "Senior Shangluo! I am your fan! I watched every one of your races! It's such a pity that you retired from the race! But I am so lucky to meet you in person!"

"Ah," Shangluo had no choice but to nod, "Who are you?"

"This is the one I told you about before, my cousin, my aunt's son. He always insisted on seeing you. I told him you would come during the Chinese New Year. But he heard from somewhere that you were going to the moon, and he was afraid that you wouldn't come during the Chinese New Year, so he had to see you."

"My name is Xia Yun! Please sign your name for me! Or give me a stamp."

"Okay. Let me stamp it." Shangluo has his own personal stamp, which is as effective as his signature. He stamped it when he signed in at school.

Xia Yun took out his team uniform, unfolded it and saw that it was the uniform of the Imperial College's motorcade.

"So you're participating in the competition, too."

"Yes, we also have car races in junior high school. But our cars are miniature race cars. We can only play full-size race cars in high school. Senior Shangluo! You are the role model of our entire team! I will hang your autograph in the team's activity room, so that we will definitely win next year!"

"Oh, that's great, I'll go see it too then?"

He also remembered that the junior high school of Wutaishan Training School also had this competition. But it should be nothing to just visit.

"In fact, his level is quite good." Zhu Xianxi replied, "This kid likes to watch Wang Lingguan very much. He learned the art of cursing by imitating the comic book while watching Wang Lingguan."

"Huh? Can you learn the art of cursing dates from a comic book?"

Zhu Xianxi whispered, "Because Master Sa has given us special guidance. In Wang Lingguan's comics, all the specific spellcasting processes are real. As long as you follow and learn, those with talent can learn it. But he doesn't seem to be a Qigong practitioner yet, and he doesn't know anything except the spellcasting technique."

"I'm already a Qigong practitioner. A few days ago, I became the disciple of a hermit master. Although he insisted that I treat him to crab roe noodles before he was willing to accept me as his disciple, after I ate it, he turned me into a very powerful cursed date. After I ate it, I reached the Qigong stage!"

[Ah, wandering around like a street urchin, eating for free, and luckily recruiting a disciple. It’s hard to guess who this person is. ]

Chapter 1307 Zhu Ling's Fury

"Have you reached the Qi training stage?" Zhu Ling was shocked. She remembered that this boy was about the same level as her. Although he could transform into a cursed date, he couldn't beat the panda because he didn't know the Five Animals Exercises.

"Yes, I am already a true Qigong practitioner."

"Tiger play, tiger pounce, tiger weightlifting!" Zhu Ling immediately performed the first move of the Five Animal Play on him, but Xia Yun stood there motionless and was not lifted up by her.

"Hehehe, I received secret teachings from the Crab Roe Noodle Immortal. My master said that our sect practices the Way of Blessings and Fate, the most powerful sect in the world! He said that if I treat him to a big bowl of crab roe noodles next time, he will teach me how to control the wind!"

"Ah!" The sky fell. Zhu Ling's world collapsed.

She didn't care what she practiced. Because she had practiced the Five Animals Exercises, she was already strong enough to deal with pandas, and even elephants. With just one move of tiger lifting weights, she could lift the elephant's legs and make the elephant stumble.

But this little cousin who appeared in front of her every now and then and was totally out of tune, actually surpassed her overnight! The Five Animal Play that could easily manipulate him before had lost its effect on him now.

Zhu Ling fell into resentment, and the fighting spirit that had been extinguished for a long time began to burn in her eyes.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Shangluo went home after dinner.

While eating, Shangluo was also talking to Xia Yun. Unexpectedly, Shangluo got along very well with him and kept talking about his experience of eating pig's trotters. She didn't say a few more words to Shangluo until he left.

"."Silently, she pushed open the door.

"Where are you going?" Zhu Xianxun, who was about to go downstairs, saw her.

"I'm going to the Imperial Garden."

"Why go now?"

"Yes, Longlong is having a false pregnancy! You know that, right? Pandas can have false pregnancies. It's very painful, and the keepers have to be by their side to make them feel at ease."

"Then go ahead. It's cold outside, remember to turn up the air conditioner."

Unless necessary, Zhu Xianxun would not stop Zhu Ling, and she could do her own thing.

"Eh?" After turning a corner, Zhu Xianxun suddenly remembered, "That's not right. Isn't Longlong a male? Can male bears also have false pregnancies?"

Zhu Ling did go to the Imperial Garden, and she did go to Longlong's place.

Long Long was sitting on the steps in the yard eating a midnight snack. Zhu Ling was sitting next to him, also holding a bamboo stick.

"Your Highness, this is not human food."

"If I become as powerful as Shangluo, can I eat bamboo?"

Long Long shook his head and said, "Shang Tianjun doesn't eat bamboo either! So why should people eat bamboo? It has no nutrition and tastes bad. If I could choose, I would only want to eat apples for every meal. I only eat some bamboo to disguise myself as an ordinary panda."

"Oh, I almost forgot to ask. I was afraid it would be exposed - if someone comes over later, you'll start faking pregnancy to win favor."

"You said it." Long Long chewed bamboo, "Don't blame me if I make trouble for you later."

"Can you really do it?"

"I am a congenital spiritual beast. You see, ordinary pandas cannot control the secretion of intestinal mucus, so they must eat bamboo to regulate their digestive system. But as a congenital spiritual beast, I can be very healthy without eating bamboo, because I can stop myself from secreting mucus. You ask me to fake pregnancy, that's fine, I can pretend to be exactly the same."

"Ah!!!" Zhu Ling hugged his head, "Sure enough, your cultivation is higher than mine! Why is this happening!"

"You were the one who gave me the elixir," Longlong whispered. "Princess, I have to thank you. If it weren't for you, I'd still be an ordinary panda by Xuanwu Lake. Of course, I'm not saying that being an ordinary panda is bad. I think humans are so kind to the panda family, and I love them. But being a spiritual panda, the world is much broader and the horizon is much wider."

"Do you remember what I gave you to eat?"

"Uh" Long Long raised his head, "To be honest, it's hard for me to imagine what I was thinking before I was no longer a spirit beast. I vaguely remember that it was a lump. The food you gave me didn't seem to be in a shape?"

"Yes. It was a pill that my brother failed to refine. You were sick at the time, and I asked my brother if he had any medicine that pandas could eat. He asked me to give you the Xiao Huan Dan. But I didn't know what the Xiao Huan Dan was, so I gave you the waste pill that he was going to throw away. The pill didn't even have a shape, it wasn't round, so it was a waste pill. But after you ate it, you turned into a spirit beast."

"Oh my God," Zhu Ling hugged her head, "Why didn't I eat it myself at that time."

"Eh? Princess, do you also want to become an innate spirit beast?"

"No, I want to reach the foundation-building stage."

"Ah," Long Long nodded, "but I actually have a feeling that you can do it."

"Eh???" Zhu Ling was stunned for a moment, "Really? When?"

"I don't know the exact time. But I hope you can get promoted so that you can always support me. When my children are born, I want Your Highness to take care of them. I want my descendants to be endless."

"Woo woo woo~~Thank you." Zhu Ling held its hand and shook it. "My work has been recognized, which is really great. With your words, my love for you is not in vain."

"Hmm???" Suddenly, Longlong raised his head and twitched his nose violently.

At the same time, a meteor flew straight into the sky from the horizon.

"Ah! Look, Princess! That's a lucky shooting star! It's flying up into the sky!"

"That's not Meteor. That's Shangluo doing a physical fitness test. They rejected me before I even participated."

"No, no, no! Princess, that's a shooting star! I smell Jili!"

"Eh? What do you mean?"

"Come with me! Quick, open the door! Tonight! You can upgrade tonight!"

Without saying anything, Zhu Ling stood up and was about to open the door: "Get in the car! Where are you going?"

"Wait, wait." Long Long walked to the staff lounge, took out an oversized staff uniform and put it on himself, then wrapped himself in a scarf to hide his bear silhouette.

It walked to the driver's seat of the tumbler car outside and waved to Zhu Ling: "Hurry up and get in the car! This is the smell, and it's getting closer!"

"Are you sure you want to drive this car?"

"This car is enough, the distance is very close!"

Zhu Ling got into the car with some doubts. She sat in the passenger seat and followed the car from the Grand Palace to the highway, then turned left and drove a few kilometers before stopping at the entrance of a memorial archway. On it were the words "Nanjing University of Science and Technology".

"This is it?"

"Yes! Right here." Long Long pointed in the direction of the Chemistry Department. "I smell the scent of the magic medicine! It's exactly the same as the magic medicine you gave me that day!"

Chapter 1308 Zhu Xianxi's Fury

It was a dark and windy night when two dark figures quietly crept downstairs to the laboratory. Zhu Ling was behind and Long Long was in front.

Longlong, who was in front, put his nose to the ground and sniffed around like a dog. He sniffed every tile on the road and every handrail.

The smell in this chemistry laboratory building was too complicated, and he also smelled a lot of dangerous smells.

Suddenly, the rumbling stopped.

"What's wrong?" Zhu Ling asked.

"There is evil spirit. There is a strong evil spirit in the big door ahead."

"Then let's go around."

"No. Dan will take it inside."

"The elixir is actually mixed with evil spirit? Could it be that the golden elixir was extracted from the evil spirit?"

"I don't know. But you can't get a tiger cub without risking it. Your Highness, wait a moment. I'll be right back."

"Hey! No need!" Zhu Ling raised his hand, "Forget it! There is evil spirit here, it must be a very dangerous place! Why don't we go back!"

"It has come to this! Princess, just believe me!"

"No!" Zhu Ling reached out and grabbed Long Long's neck, "Be obedient! Let's go home! It's too dangerous here!"

The back of the neck is the panda's weak spot - in fact, it is also the cat's weak spot. As long as the back of the neck is pinched, whether it is a panda or a cat, they will lose their resistance and fall into a state where they can be carried by their mother. Of course, this trick will also work on Longlong.

"Excuse me!" Long Long rolled forward and rushed out, causing Zhu Ling to stumble and fall. "I am already an innate spiritual beast! This kind of beastly reaction has no effect on me! Your Highness, today is the time to repay you for your kindness! I'll be back soon!"

"Come back!" Zhu Ling, who had fallen, stretched out his hand to catch him, but Longlong had already run away on all fours. He slipped to the window and took a furtive look inside - he locked onto the target at a glance, and saw two rabbits processing something like pounding rice cakes.

One rabbit swung the hammer, and the other one spilled something into it between swings. One hammer, one hammer, one hammer, and there was a certain "odds" in Longlong's eyes that were constantly rising. But that probability was not stable yet, and the future was not yet determined.

He looked back and saw that Zhu Ling had caught up with him. Without thinking twice, he let out a loud roar and jumped in through the window.

Zhu Ling, who was halfway through the run, could only hear the sound of bears flying and rabbits jumping inside, and the sound of five or six clangs. The bears were roaring, and even the rabbits were crying anxiously.

Longlong was committing the crime faster than she thought. When she rushed to the window, the round black shadow had already climbed out of the window, running wildly with an oil-paper bag in its mouth:

"Got it!!! Princess, run!"
