Heavenly Dao Formula

What does Jinxia look like?

Li Mengyun swept across the crowd—in the huge room, only the candlesticks in the corner were emitting a dim yellow flame; besides her, the four venerables stood beside the Pope, and their uniform black robes looked monotonous and solemn.

It was not easy to get light in the courtyard, and candles were rare items. She didn't feel anything unusual before, but after returning from Jinxia, ​​a thought suddenly popped up in her mind.

"Bright."

"Bright?" The thing has straightened itself.

"Everything is bright there." She subconsciously replied, "it's the same at night. The long street is brightly lit, and every household can afford oil lamps and candles. They even take out gunpowder to make fireworks. Every night Let the local residents appreciate it, and the whole night sky is bright when it explodes."

"And it's not only the external objects that are bright, but also the people. The clothes are colorful and the styles are different. Their faces are very clear, and their eyes seem to be shining. I have traveled so many places, and I have never seen such a city. , it's as if... as if..."

She pondered the last sentence for a long time.

Until Wuji answered, "Just like the scene you saw when you accepted the black gate?"

"...Yes." Li Mengyun nodded slightly.

Those scenes are not all related to the doomsday disaster, it also contains some fragments of the courtyard's past, countless people live here, and their eyes are like this. It is impossible for these residents to be all masters, but their mental state has no sense of sluggishness and numbness, as if happiness is always with them, which is also the origin of the title "Heaven".

This remark caused the other venerables to frown.

"What are you talking about? How can a mere Yancheng be compared to the Kingdom of Heaven?"

"Master Shengtian, I remember you came from Shangyuan City, right? Could it be that Qiguo's capital is not as good as a partial city under his rule?"

Some people even said bluntly, "The supplies here are indeed not rich enough, but we are the only ones who can be the saviors of the world. Mr. Li, you will not forget the oath of the year because of this trip, right? I hope you don't forget, the more content you are Where there is enjoyment, the ability to resist disaster is weaker."

"Okay, she's just talking about her own feelings. And I believe what Mengyun said, because she has been to Jinxia, ​​but you haven't." The Pope's words made others stunned, "But I want to hear something more specific After all, they came with the purpose of cooperation, right? Since we want to cooperate, we must know what benefits Jin Xia can give us, and what they hope to get from us."

"Yes, sorry, I was a little distracted earlier." Li Mengyun cleared her throat and said. She didn't know why she said that kind of nonsensical words, probably because what she had seen and heard in the passage was too mysterious, so she lost her previous rigor? "First of all, I think that the cooperation with Jinxia is something worth promoting. Although His Royal Highness Ning Wanjun is a legacy of the royal family, he is a person who is sensitive and does not belong to the Privy Council, which is a great benefit for us. What's more, Jinxia Not far from Ganzhou, if we can form an alliance, our supplies and external defense will be upgraded to a higher level."

"In addition, I visited a number of their technical achievements in Jinxia City. I have to say that their attainments in mechanical arts are not inferior to those of Gyeonggi Province, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they have surpassed them. Especially mechanical weapons—— This is also the key reason why they were able to defeat the Qiguo Privy Council. I have communicated with His Highness, and if cooperation can be reached, Jinxia is willing to provide weapons to the Salvation Cult. In this way, the threat of evil spirits to us will be greatly reduced."

"Weapon? Are you referring to the kind of mechanism crossbow that can kill the enemy from a long distance and is not limited by the sense of energy?" Venerable Huntian took a step forward. His stature over seven feet was like a hill, and he was born to look like a warrior. In fact, this person is also the combat commander of the courtyard area, responsible for resisting the evil attacks that occur from time to time.

"Exactly." Li Mengyun nodded.

"Oh, this is really good!"

"His Royal Highness is willing to do so?"

"Is she not afraid of imitation by our craftsmen?"

Everyone couldn't help talking.

According to the information brought back by Shenzhou's eyeliner, this weapon is described as ingenious, and it can be used by ordinary people to compete with those who are sensitive. It's a pity that the management of the Jinxia Army is very strict, and it is difficult for outsiders to get hold of a weapon. Therefore, the top management of the Salvation Church only listens to its sound and does not see its shape. Now that there is a chance to get a genuine product from Jinxia Machinery Manufacturing Bureau, the temptation must not be considered small.

"Air rifles are big, but not all of them." Li Mengyun continued, "They also have basalt mechs, shaking lights, various spell-casting potions, medical medicines...these are all things that the Salvation Church needs."

After listening to Venerable Shengtian's narration, the discussion at the scene gradually became silent.

Because this description is too outrageous, if the narrator is not Li Mengyun, others will probably shout absurd on the spot!

However, the pope's expression didn't change much. He let out a breath, "There is no such thing as a free lunch. The other party is willing to offer such a generous bargaining chip, he must have taken a fancy to us. Tell me, what does the princess mean?" What do you want from Salvationism?"

"They don't lack food, and they don't really need our clothes." Li Mengyun said slowly, "According to Her Royal Highness and Xia Fan, the other party wants the right to travel, explore and trade freely in Baiyao Mountain. In other words , the courtyard area will open the gate to Jinxia City—”

"No way!"

Before she finished speaking, Venerable Qi Tian interrupted her.

"That's right, few people in the world know our location. If the ban is lifted, do you think King Yong can't find us?"

"There is also the Seven Stars Privy Council - if Xu Guo knows that we are sitting on the ancient ruins, he will definitely not sit idly by!"

Li Mengyun knew that if she didn't speak, the Pope would probably make a judgment based on the opinions of other venerables, so she took a step forward without hesitation, "So what?"

Everyone was taken aback.

"Let's not talk about whether Yongwang and Qixing really don't know where we are hiding. Even if they know, they must first send troops to conquer the country before they can enter the territory of Baiyao Mountain! And the Shenzhou Army is already taking over half of Ganzhou , and set up camp outside Baiyao Mountain, it can be said that it has completely blocked the main road for us to enter and exit!" She said loudly, "In other words, if the two sides are allies, Jinxia is our outer barrier, but if there is an enemy , this barrier will only be more threatening than Qixing and Yongwang!"

Because Jinxia is closer to Baiyao Mountain.

Everyone understands this truth.

"Is Her Royal Highness threatening us?"

"I didn't see this meaning from her, but what I said is also true." Li Mengyun spread her hands and said, "The Battle of Shizhou has made one thing clear, who is the real master of Qiguo. King Yong If He Qixing wants to attack us, he has to get past Jinxia first—so I don’t think everyone’s concerns are valid, Jinxia’s true strength is far stronger than we imagined.”
