[Ancient Sword II] Morning Light Shadow

The so-called rush is worse than coincidence. A few days after Xie Yi proposed the Yanjia furnace plan, Cangming woke up. Shen Ye took the opportunity to tell her about it. By the way, he also wanted to hear Cangming's opinion on his chosen successor. .

"Ah Ye's vision is naturally good." Cangming did not directly comment on Xie Yi, but said lightly, "Although I have been sleeping all year round, I have also heard that this Pojun priest is sensitive and studious, which is rare. With a pure, kind and gentle temperament, there are very few people in the temple who are not kind to him... The next high priest of the Lieshan tribe that Ah Ye is looking forward to is not quite the same as Ah Ye himself."

Although the people who belonged to the city lord's lineage settled down a lot under Shen Ye's suppression, it was not the core that was cut off, but the part that was instigated by Yigao, so the forces that were truly loyal to the city lord were not hurt. bone.

Cang Ming has his own news channel, and Shen Ye knows it very well, but he has never asked about it, and there is no need to ask about it.

Shen Ye pursed her lips in response to Cang Ming's chatting and joking question, as if unwilling to answer directly.

"The blood of the gods is about to be exhausted, and there are serious diseases. As the city lord, he can't manage things...Since entering Liuyue City, the Lieshan tribe has never faced such a crisis..."

Cangming's tone was gentle and soft, but every word was like a sharp thorn, which made it difficult for Shen Ye to maintain silence.

"The fall of Liuyue City is imminent. With Ah Ye's decisiveness, he must have the intention of breaking the cauldron and then standing up again, and handing over a clean and bright Lieshanbu to Xie Yi's hands... Am I wrong?"

"...As expected, nothing can be hidden from you..."

Looking beyond the verdant and lush branches and leaves of Jumu, the pale winter sunlight in northern Xinjiang penetrates through the dome-like enchantment, as if all the heat has been filtered out, and falls on the body wrapped in black gold sacrificial clothing, without feeling the slightest warmth.

"I'm not the only one who sees it..." Cang Ming sighed softly, "Do you think Xiao Xi hates Xie Yi, is it really because someone stole your brother's attention?"

Shen Ye was silent.It's not that he didn't know about his sister's sneaky tricks, but he didn't do too much, so he just turned a blind eye.In the past few years, Xie Yi has gradually grown up, Shen Xi has also restrained a lot, no longer making small reports, and Shen Ye has not delved into the past anymore.

"Aye, you still treat Xiaoxi like a child..." Cangming smiled and shook his head, "Hey, it's getting farther and farther, you said earlier that the Yanjia furnace designed by Xie Yi still has some flaws? "

Seeing that Cangming finally returned to the topic, Shen Ye breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said: "There is something wrong. The Yanjia furnace uses five-color stones as fuel to generate heat and inject it into the pipes, so that the heat is sent to the homes of the city residents. The five-color stones stored in the city The stone can only support the operation of the Yanjia furnace for less than a hundred years... When the five-color stone is exhausted, most of the city residents should have adapted to the Yanjia furnace for heating. Once the heating is lost, I am afraid that they will not be able to survive the winter... If that is the case , it is better to shelve this thing.”

"Since Ah Ye asked me to discuss it, did you find a solution?" Cang Ming asked.

"I have asked Xie Yi to try to reduce the consumption of five-color stones by the Yanjia Furnace. In addition, during the heating process, materials with slow heat conduction can also be used to reduce heat dissipation..." Shen Ye said his idea in a deep voice, "In addition , I intend to control the time when the five-color stone is exhausted to a specific point..."

Cangming narrowed his eyes slightly: "A Ye, what do you mean...?"

"I'm also planning to find a way to break the boundary. If this fails...how long can the power of the divine blood last, and the five-color stone will have to last until then before it can be consumed. In this way, the lives of the people can be extended For a period of time, secondly... this Fuxi enchantment is originally to prevent the secrets of the split wood and five-color stones from being leaked..."

If the five-color stones are used up before the power of the blood is exhausted, the priests with cultivation bases can say that ordinary people in the city may not be able to continue to survive in the severe cold; When it collapsed, if the five-color stone remained, it might be lost in the human world, contrary to Fuxi's original intention of setting up the enchantment.

In ancient times, Xiangyuan, a craftsman of the Anyi tribe, forged swords with human souls, which aroused the jealousy of the Emperor of Heaven. He destroyed the entire new city of Anyi in a fit of anger, and even set up a barrier on the ruins, preventing the souls of Anyi from reincarnating...

Because Liuyue City has been closed for too long and has no contact with the outside world, these ancient secrets that have long been seldom known in the human world have been spread here.The anecdotes of various races in the ancient human world and Hong Ya's gods and gods are all stories that the children of the Lieshan tribe are used to hearing before going to bed. Shen Ye also grew up listening to these ancient legends.He didn't know how Fuxi would anger the entire Lieshan tribe if the secrets of the five-color stones and the split wood were leaked, and he didn't want to gamble on the tolerance and kindness of the gods with the reincarnation of the clansmen after death.

"So, does Ah Ye hope that I can estimate how long the remaining power of the blood can last?"

Cangming pondered for a long time and asked.She is now in the jumu, and she should be the person who knows the most about the sacred blood sealed in the jumu. However, over the years, she has gradually developed a vague feeling that perhaps the divine blood is not as it seems. up like this...

Seeing Shen Ye nodded, Cangming continued: "I can't answer this right now... Can I let Xiaoxi come while I'm still awake? I still have some doubts in my heart. Maybe after seeing Xiaoxi, can be answered."

Although she didn't understand why Shen Xi was involved again, Shen Ye agreed to it.But what Shen Xi and Cangming talked about afterwards, he didn't know.

However, Cangming asked Shen Xi to bring a sentence, the power of divine blood can last for about 150 years.

With the clear time limit given by Cangming, the next work to improve the Yanjia Furnace has set its direction.When Xie Yi designed the Yanjia Furnace, he had left room for adjustments. Now the task of modifying the energy consumption is not too much, and it is still within the range he can control. Shen Ye also asked Huayue to do his best to support it, which is indispensable. The manpower and material resources, plus the construction of the Yanjia Furnace, benefited the whole city, so after the project started, it went smoothly.

However, Xie Yi still had worries in his heart.Shen Ye had already told him how long the divine blood could last, and he also made it very clear that after the construction of the Yanjia Furnace was on the right track, it was necessary to start researching the method of breaking the boundary. Otherwise, after 150 years of being trapped, the entire Lieshan tribe It will really become a legend.

In order not to cause panic among the people, the fact that the divine blood is about to run out is still a secret. Even Congyang, Chi Xiao and others only know a vague outline and have not been informed of the specific situation.

Participating in such an important event is not only Shen Ye's trust, but also great pressure.

"Hey, Xie Yi, did you arrive on time for today's ten-day meeting?"

Xie Yi originally planned to attend the ten-day meeting on time, but he didn't expect to think about it for a long time the night before because the divine blood was about to be exhausted. He lost sleep and got up late again in the morning. At the door, I heard Cong Yang's voice coming from the hall.

"Congyang, are you blind again?!"

What followed was Feng Ya's roar that could almost topple the roof of the temple.

"I am Feng Ya! Feng Ya!!! Which eye do you see that Lao Tzu looks like Xie Yi? Where is the resemblance?!"

"The clothes look like it." It seems that after hanging out with Shen Xi for a long time, Cong Yang has also learned to speak disgustingly, "I heard that you are not as good-looking as Xie Yi? I'm sorry, I'm blind, and I can't see with either eye." You guys look alike."

Last month, Tanlang Priest Cheng Luan's mother was seriously ill, so she resigned from the temple and concentrated on going home to take care of her mother. Shen Ye took advantage of the opportunity and asked Feng Ya to fill the vacancy of Tanlang Priest.

Xie Yi silently lowered his head, looked at the sacrificial clothing on himself, and then at Feng Ya's sacrificial clothing. In the eyes of prosopagnosia, it was indeed... almost.

"The temple is a solemn place, both of you, be quiet! Congyang, is it reasonable for you to admit the wrong person? And Fengya, don't openly yell at your colleagues... Huh? Xie Yi, you're here too?"

Hua Yue, who came out to persuade the fight, turned her head and saw Xie Yi poking at the door, whether to enter or not, she was suddenly embarrassed.

After a commotion, Shen Ye was followed by the little tail Shen Xi, and the two stepped into the meeting hall.

Taking a brief look at the expressions of the subordinates, it was either embarrassment or anger, holding back a smile or innocence, and Ziwei Zun felt that these people were simply inexplicable today.

Shen Xi silently recalled the tear shadow worm hidden on the roof beam.In order to improve the timeliness of the news, she specially improved the Gu worm. Now it can basically monitor one or two places in real time. Today is just the turn of the conference hall... After the meeting is over, I must secretly share it with my brother.
