Leshan?
Giant Buddha statue?
Ni Kun's face changed slightly and he said in a deep voice:
"When did this happen? Is there a maze-like cave around the giant Buddha statue?"
Seeing that Ni Kun had indeed diverted his attention, Wen Caiting was happy and secretly celebrated that she had escaped.
At the same time, he said:
"This incident happened half a month ago. Therefore, it is a great Buddhist. It is called the Buddha's saint and is specially promoted by various channels. In just over ten days, it has been spread to Shuzhong, and it has also spread rapidly towards the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River through the Yangtze River waterway.
"Now, Buddhist disciples from all over the world are rushing to Leshan to worship the giant Buddha. My holy sect is also very concerned about this and has sent experts to Leshan to investigate. As for the matter of the cave that the young master asked about, it is unknown."
Ni Kun pondered for a while and said decisively:
"Not to go to Pegasus Ranch for now, just turn around and head to Leshan."
If the "Leshan Giant Buddha" suddenly appeared, as he thought, there was a "cave" and the benefits there were definitely no inferior to the evil emperor's relics, and it might even be better.
Because the Leshan Giant Buddha should have started construction during the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, but now it is only the end of the Sui Dynasty.
Then overnight, the Leshan Giant Buddha, which appeared at the end of the Sui Dynasty, is likely to be the Leshan Giant Buddha with the "Lingyun Cave"!
Since the Moon Worship Sect, Peach Blossom Island, Sun and Moon God Sect, Songshan Sword Sect, and South China Sea Feixian Island can all appear in this world, why can't the "Lingyun Cave" in the Fengyun World?
It has been more than ten days since the "giant Buddha" appeared in the world, and the Buddhist sect is extremely powerful and has many masters. If they go too late, they will be found by the Buddhist sect first...
The benefits therein may be all the benefits of Buddhism.
Even if Buddhism cannot handle the Fire Qilin, it can still pick all the "Blood Bodhi"!
So Ni Kun immediately decided to explore Leshan first.
As for Pegasus Ranch...
Anyway, Lu Miaozi will not die for a while.
Furthermore, Lu Miaozi likes to wear human skin masks and pretend to be a sensation. He is also an engineering master and the Leshan Giant Buddha who appears overnight, which may attract him.
If you are lucky, you might be able to meet Lu Miaozi in Leshan.
At that moment, Ni Kun didn't rest. Wen Caiting quickly prepared water supplies and left Changlin County overnight. She carried her light skills and rushed straight to Shuzhong. When she was tired at night, she lay down on Wen Caiting's back and fell asleep.
At the same time.
Jiangdu Yangzhou.
In July this year, Emperor Yang Guang of Sui toured Jiangdu for the third time with 100,000 imperial guards, empress, concubines, princesses, ministers and officials, monks, nuns and other guests.
The Emperor of Sui and his harem lived in the world's most luxurious Jiangxi Palace "Linjiang Palace", and his officials and ministers lived in the city of Jiangdu.
At this moment, in Yangzhou City, there is a large mansion in the main hall.
A white-clothed scholar with a graceful figure, like a banished immortal, was looking at a "mechanical hidden weapon" in his hand.
This hidden weapon of this mechanism is a handle with floating patterns on it and decorated with gold paint. The curved handle is just right to hold it.
There is a ruler-long steel pipe on it, dark in color and smooth in the whole body, flashing with a cold metallic light under the candlelight.
On the back section of the steel pipe, above the handle, there is a clever metal part carved into the shape of a pocket dragon head. The dragon's mouth is stuck in a small groove, with a piece of flint embedded inside.
If Ni Kun was here, he could recognize at a glance that the "conceived weapon" in the hands of this white-clothed scholar was actually a flintlock hand gun.
Click.
The scribe in white opened the dragon-shaped hammer with his thumb, raised his hand gun, suddenly turned around, and pointed the gun at the gate behind him.
Just then, a slender figure wearing a big red pleated dress, wearing a black gauze hat, a bronze ghost face, and only revealing her eyebrows, eyes, and forehead, stepped across the threshold and stepped into the main hall.
The scribe in white smiled slightly, pulled the trigger with his index finger, and the hammer slammed on the flint of the medicine pool.
Bang!
Amid the roar, a fire flashed at the muzzle and a stream of white smoke spewed out.
There was also a lead ball, which was invisible to the naked eye of ordinary people, and shot towards the man in red who had just entered the door.
The man in red did not dodge or avoid it, and suddenly raised his hand, his hand was as fast as a ghostly phantom. His slender and fair fingers were just a light clip and he clamped the hot projectile between his fingers.
"Dongfang, your skills have improved again!" The white-clothed scholar smiled and said, "The Sunflower Book is indeed wonderful. Unfortunately, what you have obtained is not the whole article, otherwise it would be impossible to catch up with Guan Qi."
The man in red loosened his fingers and threw the lead that was crushed into a cake on the floor, saying in a soft and unpredictable voice:
"The entire Sunflower Book is just a legend and has never been seen by anyone. As for the toys like firearms, the Holy Lord should not joke with his subordinates."
The scribe in white chuckled and threw the musket onto the table, leisurely saying:
"For us, it is certainly a toy, but ordinary soldiers, wearing iron armor, can they be attacked by this toy? If they are equipped with a large number of troops, the army will be invincible.
"If the Great Sui Dynasty had this powerful weapon, even if Fu Cailin was in charge of Goguryeo, he could still fight in one battle. The Great Sui Dynasty would not have fallen to this situation because of the three campaigns of Goguryeo."
The man in red said lightly:
"If the Holy Lord wants to, his subordinates know a little about how to cast artillery. But is the Holy Lord still interested in such small things now?"
The scribe in white sighed and said slowly:
"Weak the four barbarians and strengthen the Central Plains, after all, it is the place where I have half my life's achievements. Now, Tuguhun abandoned the land and moved westward, and more than 40 countries in the Western Regions surrendered. Both sides of the north and west have achieved success. Only the three battles in Liaodong were not defeated, and the soldiers and generals were damaged... I feel regretful!"
The man in red said, "The Holy Lord is too demanding of perfection."
The scribe in white laughed at himself:
"It's not about perfection, it's just..."
Shaking his head, no longer talking, he asked:
"Can you find out the origin of the barbarian who claims to be Wei Xiaobao?"
The flintlock musket in his hand was obtained from the hands of a barbarian named "Wei Xiaobao".
Wei Xiaobao appeared outside Linjiang Palace during the day, hid in the forest and peeked at the emperor's palace, and was caught by the patrolling Xiaoguo Guard.
Seeing that his scalp was naked, he only had a barbarian braid with a rat-tailed braid, and his expression was quite smooth and despicable, he wanted to take him down and ask.
But Wei Xiaobao turned around and ran away. His light skills were pretty good, and he almost got rid of the imperial guards' arrest.
Unfortunately, he was shot in the thigh by an arrow by an imperial guard and fell to the ground on the spot, and was eventually captured.
However, Wei Xiaobao was also very lucky. The arrow shot through his thigh blood vessels. When the Xiaoguo Guards who were chasing him surrounded him, he had lost too much blood and fell into a state of dying. He could only barely say his name and died.
The guards found this musket from Wei Xiaobao's corpse, as well as a golden vest that was invulnerable to swords and guns, and a bottle of medicinal powder that could turn the corpse into blood.
After several turns, these seizures fell into the hands of the scribes in white.
With the wisdom of a white-clothed scholar, he easily figured out the operation method of this musket.
And as he knew, this musket could not be built in the current Central Plains, or in the surrounding countries.
Now someone was sent to check the origin of Wei Xiaobao, trying to find out the source of the musket and some secrets behind it that were more concerned by the white-clothed scribes.
Unfortunately, the man in red did not bring back the news he wanted.
"The Xiaoguo Imperial Guard searched for more than a hundred miles in a radius and found no clues. Then Wei Xiaobao should have appeared in vain."
"Another one came out of nothing?" The scribe in white glanced at the man in red thoughtfully and said softly:
"In the past twenty years, there have been many weird people coming out... Dongfang, why did the world become so bizarre? What changes will be made in the future? Will history become unrecognizable because of this?"
The man in red remained silent.
The white-clothed literary scholar said:
“Maybe, the leader of the Moon Worshiping Sect is right?
"This earth should have been a sphere, hanging in the void, accompanying the moon, and rotating around the sun. But for some reason, it has become a 'round and round place'...
"So the world is just a dream. Most people in the world, including you and me, are all illusions transformed by an incredible demon?
"The history you know in the East is nothing but a story made up by evil demons and implanted into your memory, and what I call achievements are even more meaningless?"
The man in red is still silent.
The scribe in white sighed and smiled leisurely:
"Forget it, whether it is real or illusion, since I can think independently and not be influenced by anyone, then I am a real existence..."
Shaking his head, he asked again:
"Then there is no news about the remnants of the Moon worship?"
The man in red said slowly:
"No."
The scribe in white said lightly:
"Since there is no news, what's the matter if you come to see me?"
The man in red said:
"A strange thing happened in Leshan, Shu..."
To be continued...
