Chapter 1002: Each Family Starts to Organize
Before the agreed date, Shanglinyuan had already started intensive preparations. Although they were confident, no protective measures could be omitted.
If something unexpected happens, it will be fatal.
Therefore, even for the sake of the people of the world, the Ji family will not be careless at all.
"Master, is the Ji family's technology better than ours?" a young Taoist asked in confusion.
"Don't talk, look carefully and see where the loopholes are!" Zhang Lu slapped the little Taoist priest hard, and then observed the Ji family's arrangement with a serious face.
"Wow, that's really amazing!" Yu Ji exclaimed in amazement. The Ji family's skills were quite tough. When it came to luring the evil god, they were really no match for the Ji family.
"This method is indeed powerful, but how strong the object you pull down depends on luck. It is too unsafe!" Nanhua directly criticized. In his eyes, this technology is tantamount to taking human life lightly.
"Get ready and set up the star formation so that you can cover up any problems that arise." Zuo Ci shook his head. The Ji family had not had any problems until now, so how could they be considered to be taking human life lightly?
The Taoists came for insurance. Although the Ji family spoke with great confidence, Jia Xu still felt that the Ji family was a little unreliable, so he transferred the Taoists in to provide an additional layer of insurance.
Hundreds of formation flags were quickly placed at the determined target location, and finally the earth began to radiate the light of stars.
"Ah, what bright stars!" Liu Ying was a little amazed. Apart from anything else, this thing was extremely entertaining.
"Are you sure this protection is very strong?" Liu Ying asked a little Taoist priest who was grabbed by her.
"This protection is very powerful. It contains the power of the 108 Tiangang and Disha stars, and contains the four symbols, five elements, eight trigrams, twelve heavenly stems and earthly branches, and twenty-eight constellations. It has the power to reverse yin and yang and duplicate reality. " The young Taoist said very confidently.
"Can it be installed on a building?" Liu Ying asked with shining eyes.
"I'm sorry, Your Highness Princess, I don't know!" The little Taoist hesitated for a moment, then said honestly.
"Master Nanhua!!!!" Liu Ying decisively threw the little Taoist priest aside and shouted loudly.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess!" Nanhua flew over quickly.
“Can you give me one of these on the Zhaixing Pavilion? Then it will be a real Zhaixing Pavilion!” Liu Ying’s eyes lit up. This thing was so beautiful. It would look great if it was hung on her small building.
"This may be very difficult, but the effect may be much worse, and many functions cannot be fully deployed!" Nanhua said a little embarrassedly.
"It doesn't matter, as long as it can shine!" Liu Ying said decisively.
"If it's just about emitting light, then there's no problem. We'll arrange people to set it up later!" Nanhua nodded and agreed directly.
After Liu Ying left satisfied, the young Taoist asked Nanhua with a puzzled look on his face.
"Master, didn't you say that this formation can only be set up on the ground?"
"Damn, all the princess wants is to make it glow, so just put some glowing magic circles on it!" Nanhua knocked on the little Taoist's head and said casually.
"What did you do just now?"
"Hehe, you still have a lot to learn. This is called retreating in order to advance. People always like to compromise. When you want to lift the roof, naturally someone will agree to let you open the window." Nanhua stroked his beard and smiled.
The young Taoist priest, who seemed to understand but not quite, thought for a while and came to a conclusion.
"Aren't you just cutting corners?"
"Hurry up and work! You will be the one doing this for Zhaixing Pavilion when the time comes!" Nanhua broke down and said unhappily.
Not only Taoism was making preparations, other schools of thought also wanted to show their skills.
"What are these things?" Diao Chan looked at the Mohist people who seemed to be moving house with a puzzled look on her face.
"These are the war weapons requested by the Princess, to be used to prevent disasters before they happen." The Mohist disciple replied .
After making sure that there were no problems with the formalities, Diao Chan asked someone to lead the way for these Mohist disciples, and then found Liu Ying.
"Your Highness, what are you planning to do?" Diao Chan was a little surprised. Are the things in Shanglinyuan so dangerous?
"Although it seems interesting, I always feel that it is unsafe." Liu Ying said weakly while lying on the bed. Her intuition told her that this thing seemed unreliable.
But she was the one who made the final decision on this matter, so she couldn't just stop now. So she sent people to ask various schools of thought to see if there were any good protective measures.
Unexpectedly, it seemed to have turned into an arms exhibition, with each company scrambling to bring out the results of their own research to insure Shanglinyuan.
"But, those crossbows are useless." Diao Chan thought for a moment, pointed at the crossbows that the Mo family was building and said, "I remember that under non-cloud conditions, crossbows may not be able to kill even if the internal energy leaves the body."
"That's a crossbow made with etching technology, the kind where the entire crossbow arrow is etched!" Liu Ying said after taking a glance.
She has an impression of all these things. It is good to have spiritual talent. With the sublimation of spiritual talent, she can read a thousand lines at a glance and remember everything she sees.
"I heard that this kind of crossbow is extremely powerful, but each crossbow arrow is very difficult to make." Diao Chan recalled and it seemed that this was included in the report to Liu Ying.
She remembered that this thing was mentioned in Mohist official documents, but it was difficult to make. To be more precise, it was very unreliable. Human etching was too slow, and it was even slower to ensure the power, so the progress of crossbow etching was very slow.
"It's difficult because we can't hand it over to others for mass production. It's very easy for the Mo family to do it internally!"
"After all, it's such a big deal, let's just be prepared."
Liu Ying said lazily that although it seemed like she knew nothing, she actually knew a lot, and precisely because she knew so much, she was more willing to give up.
Only after working hard can one understand the gap between oneself and the real ceiling. Ever since she realized how amazing the literary and martial arts achievements of Chen Xi and Guo Hao were, she completely began to give up and slack off.
But as time went by, she became more and more uneasy.
"Send someone to tell each family to continue to intensify preparations to ensure that nothing goes wrong!" Liu Tong turned his head and ordered the guard beside him. After all, Shanglinyuan was his old nest and he couldn't mess around with it.
The more she thought about it, the more she regretted it. How could she agree to such a stupid activity?
"Ah, do we need to continue to increase our protective efforts?" The people who came from the Mohist School were some old men. They came by to ask for some funds and to see the excitement.
"Yes, just in case." The palace guard said cautiously.
"That's what we should do." The old man of the Mo family stroked his beard and said, "Go and get those etched weapons you brought."
The younger generation of Mohist disciples had no choice but to move things, and then a bundle of spears covered with dark red patterns was carried over. After all, they were mechanics and had pretty good physical fitness, at least they carried so many things without getting out of breath.
"This is all we have prepared." The old man of the Mo family took the spear naturally and handed it to the palace guard. With the spear in hand, even the palace guard felt the slight changes in the essence of heaven and earth. They couldn't help but bowed and took the spear back to report.
The palace guards were basically veterans among veterans, so one can imagine how elite they were. As soon as they took over, they realized how powerful these things of the Mohist school were, so they took the samples and turned around and left.
"Bring everything with you tomorrow and come with me." said the old man of the Mo family quietly.
He originally just wanted to show off his skills a little to open the eyes of other philosophers, but now the princess asked them to step up their efforts, so they had no choice but to show off their weapons.
And he himself was a little uneasy.
To be honest, most families doing research have some knowledge in their minds and know how unreliable they can be sometimes, so they have great distrust towards other families also doing research. To be precise, it is not distrust, but fear of trust.
"Tomorrow, bring me all the calligraphy and paintings of the great scholars, so that they can see the progress of our Confucianism!" Kong Rong said with a sneer after sending the guards away.
Confucianism has studied the art of conveying truth through literature for so long, and it is time for it to be brought to light.
"By the way, notify all the great scholars near Luoyang and ask them to be in place tomorrow."
Kong Rong was also a little uneasy. He also felt that tomorrow's activities would cause trouble, so he simply increased the intensity.
On the other side, all the families that were interested in fishing for the evil god in Shanglin Garden also began to prepare. After all, any family that had participated in the activities of the aristocratic families in the past few decades knew that whenever the aristocratic families gathered together, something was bound to go wrong.
"Here, take this with you tomorrow." Hua Tuo took out a black bead from a sealed locust wood box beside him and handed it to his son Hua Lun.
"What is this thing? Why does it feel so evil?" After Warren took the bead, he felt uncomfortable and couldn't help but look at his father.
"This thing is the result of our research. If there is any problem, just smash it and use your internal energy to blast it to pieces." Hua Tuo said with a dark face, "Originally we planned to make a bead that absorbs pain, but there was a problem with the technology, so we can only make this thing."
"This thing can release a powerful curse. Once it explodes, it will automatically find nearby targets." Hua Tuo said a little embarrassedly.
"?" Warren looked at his father in disbelief.
Are you sure you are a doctor, curse or something, this is the first time he has heard his father say that.
"Since ancient times, witch doctors have been inseparable, but some of them are against the will of heaven and earth and are unwilling to be passed down. It just so happens that you have reached the level. When you come back this time, I will teach you Jiuli witchcraft!"
Hua Tuo sighed deeply. To be honest, he never thought that he would return to his old profession one day.
Witchcraft and sorcery are part of medicine, but the country was weak back then and these things were taboo, so they had to be put aside.
Now that the Ji family can hunt evil gods openly, Hua Tuo doesn't want the inheritance to be cut off, so he plans to spread it in a small range.
"Then why are you giving this to me? Let's go and watch the fun tomorrow!" Warren looked at his father in confusion.
"I told you to take it to save your life, do you understand?" Hua Tuo sneered, "It would be a miracle if you can get anything good tomorrow. Don't think that the head of the Ji family said it so lightly. I can guarantee that there will be an accident tomorrow."
Hua Tuo was too lazy to explain in detail. As a witch doctor, he knew very well what the evil god was.
But there will only be accidents and some trouble tomorrow. As for accidents, forget it. Evil gods can still run rampant in their own territory, but in Luoyang, they are like dragons coiled and tigers lying down.
"Take this too. If something happens to you, you can use this to keep your body intact and wait for us to rescue you!" Zhang Zhongjing suddenly walked in and handed Warren a doll.
Hua Lun has good talent. It took him and Hua Tuo a lot of effort to train such a disciple, so of course they have to protect him.
To be honest, they don't want to go to the rally tomorrow at all. They are too old to handle this kind of stimulation.
But since all the philosophers were there, their medical school had to have someone to support the group, so in the end they had to throw the important task to Warren.
"Is this... a voodoo doll?" Warren's mouth twitched. He really didn't know that the end of medicine was still witchcraft. How outrageous!
"Just take it with you, don't worry about anything else!" Zhang Zhongjing was too lazy to say anything to Warren and stuffed it directly into Warren's body!
"!!!" Warren exclaimed.
Every family was stuffing things into Shanglinyuan, and in the end everyone became nervous.
"Hey, are these guys really okay?" Huo Qubing looked at the noble families coming in and out with a strange expression on his face.
"No, these people are no longer human beings, right?" Huo Qubing finally couldn't help it and pointed at a young man from a noble family who had just walked out.
"That depends on how you define human!" Bai Qi picked up the teacup and sipped it leisurely.
Anyway, ever since he killed the surrendered soldiers, nothing can surprise him anymore.
"In a sense, we are no longer human, right?" Han Xin said disdainfully. Huo Qubing fell silent. Strictly speaking, they were all ghosts now.
But they are eating and drinking now, don’t you think they are not like humans?
"Forget it. I'll take the Yulin Army with me to watch the situation tomorrow. I don't think they can cause any big trouble!" Huo Qubing finally gave up thinking decisively. There was no point in thinking.
"That's right. How can we, the military, be afraid of these petty acts?" Han Xin waved his hand. "These are just trash. They are not even enough to be crushed by a charge. They are nothing!"
Bai Qi nodded, thinking that what Han Xin said made sense. Military strategists were never afraid of any challenge.
Otherwise, why do they always rely on the army? As long as the army is in hand, they are never afraid of any problem.
As the master of Weiyang Palace, Liu Ying lay sideways, stretched her face, and looked at what the servants reported to her. After reading half of it, she began to panic. Each family had buried a bunch of things in Shanglinyuan. Liu Ying became more and more panicked, and an ominous premonition surrounded her.
So she decisively chose to find her own support, her husband, General Guo Hao.
"My Shanglinyuan won't be blown away, right?" Liu Ying looked at Guo Hao eagerly.
"It shouldn't be!" Guo Hao was also a little uncertain. There were too many weird things stuffed in by each family, giving people a feeling that it would be unforgivable if nothing went wrong.
"Okay, okay, I will go to the scene in person to accompany you tomorrow. Leave any problems to me!" Seeing Liu Ying's expression as if she was about to cry, Guo Hao hurriedly comforted her.
