Chapter 151 The 2nd Year Rainy Season
Chapter 151 The 2nd Year Rainy Season
The starlight tree is too huge, and it would take too much time to really draw a sketch, so Su Qing changed the sketch into a traditional Chinese painting after a few strokes.
Ink painting in traditional Chinese painting is the type of painting he is best at, and it didn't take long to draw a trace of the charm of the starry tree.
In the middle of the painting, Fortune Tree coughed lightly: "Don't bother with the painting, that old guy is in a good mood, you should find a way to make a request."
Su Qing kept moving his hands: "What request?"
"Bring up whatever you want, but don't mention it directly."
Su Qing answered in her heart, thinking about what she wanted while drawing, and asked after a while: "Senior Xiang Shengshu, do you know when the next blessing will be?"
"A few days later." Xiang Shengshu flickered, and the immature face appeared on the trunk, "This is a gift to the grass and trees, why do you ask this?"
"Hmm..." Su Qing puffed up his face, thinking, "My Taoist couple and I live in the jungle now, and the territory is relatively quiet now, but there are too many mutated plants around, I'm afraid the territory will be chaotic after the next gift. "
"Mutated plants?" Xiang Shengshu frowned, as if he didn't understand, and took his seat after two seconds, "Oh, you are talking about Lingzhi, what's the matter? If there are rioters in the territory, kill them Forgiveness is enough."
"Senior said it is very true." Su Qing smiled and nodded as a compliment, then rolled his eyes and said, "However, this will disturb our practice after all. A few days ago, I discussed with my Taoist companion and planned to move to another place , lest you have to waste time dealing with these trivial matters."
"Moving..." Xiang Shengshu's voice seemed a little nervous, but soon became careless, "You want to move, where are you going to move?"
"It's not decided yet." Su Qing narrowed her eyes and smiled.
"You have only awakened five times now, and your cultivation base is still in the stage of rapid improvement. You should focus on moving and what to do, just live well."
"Ah, that's it." Su Qing continued to draw with a sad face, and didn't say whether he wanted to move it or not.
Xiang Shengshu hesitated to speak, but in the end he continued to put on airs and did not continue to say anything.
A few hours later, Su Qing put down the pen, picked up the rice paper in her hand and pointed it at Xiang Shengshu: "Senior, I have finished drawing."
Xiang Shengshu's human face reappeared, carefully looked at himself in the painting for more than ten seconds, and coughed lightly: "It has a bit of my charm, it's okay."
"Thank you senior for your praise." Su Qing put away the painting, "Then I'll go back first, see you senior."
Xiang Shengshu hummed dispensably: "Go back."
Su Qing was sent to the starlight world by Xiang Shengshu, and bowed happily in the direction of the giant tree king. Just as he was about to leave, Xiang Shengshu's voice rang in his mind again.
"Wait, since you and your Taoist companion like to be quiet, my side is also vacant, so you can move here, lest you have to spend time and energy looking for a place, and delay your practice."
Su Qing's eyes lit up, and he held back his smile until the corners of his mouth twitched. He hesitated and said, "But, won't this disturb Senior?"
"Think about it for yourself."
Xiang Shengshu's voice disappeared again, Su Qing bowed and thanked again, and then ran out of the giant forest at his fastest speed.
He held back his laughter for several hours, and only dared to laugh out loud after leaving the giant forest: "Cuohuashu, you are right, Senior Xiangshengshu really likes to take Joe very much."
"Heh." Good Fortune Tree sneered slightly, "This guy has been like this since childhood, just get used to it."
Su Qing smiled for a while before starting again. Thinking of the paintings in her own space, she always felt that she wanted to do something for the Creation Tree: "Creation Tree, do you want me to draw you one too?"
"No, I'm not as stinky as that guy." The Creation Tree sneered.
Now they are still not far enough away from Xiang Shengshu, Su Qing subconsciously sneaked and said: "I must have drawn more carefully than before. If Senior Xiang Shengshu has it, you should have it too."
There was a hint of a smile in the voice of the Creation Tree: "I am very happy if you have this heart, you should spend more time on cultivation, don't be distracted by these chores, and you don't have to pay attention to Xiang Shengshu's painting when you go back. Once it’s melted, it’s enough to frame it directly.”
"Okay." Su Qing nodded in disappointment.
Probably aware of Su Qing's loss, Fortune Tree sighed slightly, and subconsciously coaxed him: "Aren't you going to go out to practice in the future? When you are bored on the road, draw for me again."
Su Qing's eyes lit up, and he nodded heavily: "Okay!"
Fortune Tree sighed again helplessly, secretly thinking that Su Qing became more and more like a child the more he lived, but this was also the result of his Taoist companion's petting, but he didn't know whether it was good or bad.
But after thinking about it, isn't this the result Su Hai has always wanted?It is a good thing for Su Qing to live happily and be willful.
Su Qing flew for a while, and found that the silent Creation Tree had not entered a semi-dormant state. He was a little curious, and asked a question he had wanted to ask for a long time: "Creation Tree, how do I feel that since you discovered Senior Xiang Shengshu Is it much more lively?"
In the past, unless he took the initiative to ask, the Creation Tree would not take the initiative to pay attention to him.
But since he found the first key, he could feel that the Creation Tree was always in a good mood, and he also liked to take the initiative to remind him.
"There are not many old friends left from our time." The Fortune Tree sighed deeply, "Just like when you reunited with old friends, I am really happy in my heart, not to mention that we are still of the same race and grew up together. big."
"Then I have to hurry up and let Senior Xiang Shengshu recognize the Lord." Su Qing said solemnly.
Tree of Creation laughed a few times, and continued to advise Su Qing: "It's not urgent, don't you still have to draw design drawings, make furniture and so on? Let's talk about it after finishing these, don't be too proactive."
Thinking about Xiang Shengshu's character, Su Qing couldn't help laughing again: "Okay."
Nearly three days later, a figure flew into the tree house from the open window, and the wind closed the window with a soft snap.
Under the tree, Qi Jiang is concentrating on concocting the spirit mine. He wants to make a flying boat so that they don't have to fly by themselves when they are on the road in the future, and they can do their own things on the road.
Hearing the sound, he was not distracted, but flew back to the house after concocting the spirit mine in his hand.
Su Qing was taking a shower, and the shoes and raincoat in the entrance were messy, as if there was something urgent.
It was rare for Qi Jiang to see Su Qing put things so casually, he was a little curious and worried, put away his shoes and raincoats one by one, and went back to the room.
After a while, Su Qing, who was wearing pajamas, walked out quickly, and walked towards Qi Jiang very anxiously.
Qi Jiang subconsciously stood up and opened his arms, hugging Su Qing in his arms: "Susu, what happened?"
Su Qing yawned, rubbed her eyes and shook her head lightly: "It's nothing, it's just that I was too busy on the road and didn't take much rest. Now I'm so sleepy and want to sleep, but I miss you so much, I'll hug you before going to sleep."
His voice became softer and softer, and the last few words were very vague.
Hearing his shallow breathing, Qi Jiang turned his head gently, and found that he was really asleep, the worries in his heart dissipated, and he carried him to the bed dumbfounded.
At night, the sun sets into the sea, the wind stops and the rain stops, and the humid rain forest is like a sponge, absorbing the water on the ground as much as possible.
I don’t know if it’s the beginning of the rainy season or because the weather has become normal. This year’s rain is not as heavy as last year, and it’s not as continuous as last year. I’ve never heard of it. There are vegetation, and there are several big rivers nearby. Several large lakes discharge floods, so no disasters have been encountered so far.
However, last year's weather was also a blessing and a big change. This year, the sky and the earth are stable, and we will have to wait a few days for the end of the blessing to know what will happen next.
At night, Su Qing woke up to the smell of food, half of her face was buried in the quilt, her nose gently smelled the smell of her favorite corn, and she bent her eyes happily.
"It's better to be at home."
Qi Jiang, who has been paying attention to his movement, continued to cook in the kitchen: "Susu, come out and wash your hands and eat, there is only the last dish left."
Su Qing hummed lightly. Although he felt that he had slept enough, he still felt a little sleepy because he had been staying up late for the past two days.
Qi Jiang brought out the last dish, went in to wash the pot and cleaned up the kitchen, washed his hands after finishing everything, took off his apron and hung it on the wall, took a towel to dry his hands, and returned to the room to put the quilt under the quilt Su Qing, who was still squinting and wanted to continue sleeping, picked her up.
Su Qing slightly opened her eyes, put her face on Qi Jiang's chest and rubbed it softly, "I'm a little sleepy."
"Sleep after eating."
"I don't want to sleep when I'm full."
Qi Jiang sighed slightly, a little soft-hearted and wanted to agree, but a little worried, he stretched out his hand and touched Su Qing's belly: "The belly is so flat, you don't eat much outside, I'll take you to wash up."
Su Qing let out a groan, and let Qi Jiang hug him into the bathroom to wash up. He squinted his eyes and asked Qi Jiang to help him brush his teeth. He didn't wake up until the warm towel covered his face.
"Are you awake?" Qi Jiang let out a trace of laughter from the corner of his mouth.
Su Qing took the towel into her hand and continued to wipe her face, her voice sounded muffled in the towel: "Well, what time is it?"
"It's only past six o'clock, and it's getting dark early today." Qi Jiang straightened the mouthwash cup and toothbrush, took the towel in Su Qing's hand and put it in the basin, "I'll wash the towel, you go to the restaurant to wake up first .”
Su Qing yawned a little, and hugged Qi Jiang's waist from behind and stuck it on his back.
Qi Jiang washed and wrung out the towel to dry on the rack, held Su Qing's hand, turned his head slightly, and said softly, "What's wrong?"
"I want to go out with you."
The smile on Qi Jiang's face deepened, and his tone was teasing: "Then why don't you go sleep with me?"
"I'm serious!" Su Qing let go of her hands angrily, rolled her eyes and turned to walk out, "Head full of insincere thoughts."
Qi Jiang quickly followed up to coax people: "I just made a joke to tease you, why are you angry?"
Hearing this, Su Qing's anger dissipated again, and he slowed down and waited for Qi Jiang to walk side by side with him.
The two sat at the dining table, and Qi Jiang picked up a bowl of rice: "Susu, I have an idea in my heart."
"Ok?"
"It takes you several days to go to the east coast every time. If we settle in the giant forest in the future, it will definitely take longer to go out to practice. Are we really going to waste all our time on the road?" Qi Jiang is fed up He doesn't want to be separated from Su Qing, even if it's just a few days, "I don't want us to waste time on meaningless things."
"You mean, you want to make a teleportation array?" Su Qing had a flash of inspiration, and heard the meaning of Qi Jiang's words, "It's not easy to make a teleportation array."
The teleportation array is a very complicated formation, with the formation as the main body, and according to the type and distance of the teleportation, it needs to be matched with talismans or refining means, such as the more commonly used two-place fixed teleportation array, short-distance teleportation within a million kilometers Fortunately, we only need to set up a simple teleportation altar, and use spirit stones to teleport in the future.
But when they went out to practice, they traveled more than a million kilometers?
"It's hard to do, but we have to do it." Qi Jiang was very determined, "And, if this matter is done well, it will not only reduce the meaningless time we spend on the road, but also plan for us in the future."
Su Qing was puzzled: "What are your plans?"
"If we can choose a place as the teleportation center, establish a teleportation system, and hold the teleportation center in our hands, it will be equivalent to mastering the center of the world." In a few decades, our cultivation base will be higher in the future, and we will need more resources, so our current possessions will be a bit stretched, but if there is a continuous means of getting money that we don’t have to worry about, we don’t have to worry about money. Things, you just need to practice hard.”
When it comes to business experience, Qi Jiang's eyes have a certain look in his eyes. Su Qing can vaguely think of how he used to charge forward in the mall, and he was a little fascinated by it for a while, but he didn't listen to what Qi Jiang said later.
After a while, Qi Jiang couldn't laugh or cry: "Are you bored?"
Su Qing came back to his senses, his eyes were bright, full of admiration: "No, it's because he's so handsome."
"Haha." Qi Jiang couldn't help laughing out loud, his eyes became more gentle, "Then do you want to continue listening?"
"Hmm..." Su Qing thought about it for a while, and briefly recalled what Qi Jiang said just now, "Can the teleportation center go to Gaocheng? After I know the addresses of Gaocheng and Fengcheng, I will get a teleportation array." Go to Gaocheng."
Su Qing must be the technical director for the construction of this transmission center. Qi Jiang originally planned to get the Hope Base, which is not far from the giant forest, so that they can control the transmission center at any time.
However, after coming out of the giant forest, they have to use the teleportation array, and it is not impossible to put them in Gaocheng.
Qi Jiang respected Su Qing's opinion, but he was also a little confused. With Su Qing's temperament, he should have more affection for Fengcheng, let alone the mountains are still there.
"Why didn't you choose Fengcheng?"
"Fengcheng's technology is not up to standard." Su Qing had no choice but, "It's impossible for us to go back. Even if I send the teleportation altar back, I have to find a way to complete the final step of fixing, and the space anchor point has to be teleported again." Give it to me, I thought about it, only Uncle Qi can help, and don't forget, Uncle Qi once said that he has seen a herd of millions of beasts, Fengcheng cannot defend this teleportation formation."
This is a very big chess game. All races are scattered and unable to communicate with each other. If the teleportation network is built, Gaocheng will be the center of the world in the future. Whether it is humans, monster races, or other races, they all need to rely on this teleportation network .
The significance of this teleportation array is not insignificant, and there must be many people and races who want to snatch it.
If you want to wear its crown, you must bear its weight. Fengcheng's strength is too weak, and its manpower is too small to keep this wealth.
"But there are not many people in Gaocheng." Qi Jiang had to remind Su Qing, "The people in Gaocheng are too consumed by Huang Bo."
"After a while, we will build a defense system for Gaocheng ourselves." Su Qing continued to explain to Qi Jiang, "Actually, I am inclined to merge Fengcheng and Gaocheng into one, but we have already come out. I It doesn't matter what Fengcheng will do. I will also send a set of teleportation altar to Fengcheng at that time, and when Fengcheng will install it will depend on their own progress."
After the expansion, Gaocheng and Fengcheng are very far apart. There is no way for Gaocheng to send people to help, so it can only depend on Fengcheng's own luck.
"To be honest, it's better for Fengcheng to continue to recuperate." Qi Jiang nodded lightly, thinking that's okay, "Everyone has experienced too much, so it's better to have fewer twists and turns. The future will be long, and the new world will bring new opportunities. They may not get up in the future." Not coming."
Moreover, Su Qing was born in Fengcheng, and with his relationship with Qishu, even if Fengcheng entered the game late, Qishu would definitely support Fengcheng.
Qi Jiang, who is a businessman by nature, can imagine how much wealth they can gather with the teleportation array. Even if they are just managers, Uncle Qi and Gao Cheng will definitely benefit a lot.
This is a cornucopia, where there is too much room for maneuver.
"The Li and Su families have a good relationship, so you also want to help the Li family?" Qi Jiang smiled and picked up a piece of meat for Su Qing.
Su Qing gave him a sideways look: "I call it "Fat Shui Don't Flow Outsiders' Fields". We are not familiar with the Hope Base, so we have to be wary of their second intentions in the future, but Uncle Qi won't."
Qi Jiang lowered his eyes and smiled. In the shopping mall, relatives may stab in the back for profit, not to mention Qi Shu has his own family behind him.
However, it's fine for him to handle the matter of controlling Uncle Qi and Gao Cheng. There's no need for his family Susu to worry about such things.
"You're right." Qi Jiang nodded obediently in agreement.
Su Qing continued enthusiastically: "After the teleportation array is built, our flying carpets, flying boats and other things can be sold in Gaocheng, and let Uncle Qi go to talk to the Hope Base, so that we won't have to worry about it every time we arrive. A base has to go through so many trials."
"You just took the sales manager's business card with this trick. From now on, as long as Uncle Qi keeps his mouth shut, no one else will be able to find out the supplier." Qi Jiang listened for a while, his eyes were full of admiration, although Su Qing was a bit crony , but this method actually has a lot of benefits for them, "If you choose Gaocheng, there will be no stage of building trust, and we don't have to lead people by ourselves. It can almost be a hand-off shopkeeper, and the money is in our pockets. It's really easy."
Su Qing didn't quite understand his business experience, but that's what it meant.
The two finished their meal quickly, and then held a pen and paper to discuss how to build the transmission network. With Qi Jiang present, they only spent two or three hours that night to formulate the plan.
The transmission network still depends on Su Qing, the technical director, and Qi Jiang raised a lot of opinions.
For this transmission network, the two of them spent a lot of thought.
Among the secret arts of the Su family, there is a kind of communication puppet called Qianjizi mother bird. It mainly uses two methods of formation and refining, supplemented by puppet art to complete the function Su Qing wants.
In addition to the simplest function of exploring pictures, Qianjiniao can also automatically absorb spiritual power to accumulate energy for itself. You don't have to worry about battery life at all. In the future, you can travel across the ocean to find Fengcheng and Gaocheng, and send the teleportation array there. Hand it over to Thousand Machine Bird.
In addition, Qianji Bird's defense is also very high, it is generally not damaged, and it also has a security function. Before it is damaged, it will first pass all the information to the mother bird, and then it will directly explode itself, and will not give it to others. Opportunity to steal secrets.
The construction of the transmission network should be done sooner rather than later, at least before they go out to practice again. For this reason, Qi Jiang's work priorities have changed.
In addition to the unchanging daily practice class, the teleportation array and the mother bird of thousands of machines are all in the front row, while flying boats, jade charms for long-distance communication, and magic tools of the universe with a larger space have to be placed at the back.
Three days later, Su Qing made a small teleportation array. Although it seemed weak that it could only teleport a hundred kilometers away, even the Creation Tree was shocked by his speed and understanding.
Looking at Qi Jiang's side, he also learned some puppet techniques and made some gadgets. The understanding of the two of them made the Good Fortune Tree move the idea of receiving apprentices.
Of course, this couple with strong self-learning ability is not accepted.
"Susu, have you ever thought about leaving an heir with Qi Jiang?" Fortune Tree was very tempted, "With your talents, not having a child is a waste of your good genes."
"How can two big men give birth?" Su Qing was not interested at all, "Even if I could give birth, I don't have that kind of thought."
"Don't you like raising children?"
"Children are debts. I don't know how comfortable it is for Brother Jiang and I to live together." Su Qingyue said in a low voice, "Two children are enough for my family. I don't want to find another ancestor."
The Creation Tree didn't want to give up: "Don't you ask Qi Jiang? You don't need to conceive yourself, give me a spirit seed, I will help you cultivate a fairy vine, and you can give birth to a child by dropping two drops of blood into it, and you don't need it Take, Xiang Shengshu and I will help you raise them."
"...Don't." Su Qing was speechless and helpless, "Can't you just have a baby with Xiang Shengshu?"
"...At our level, maybe the child was struck to death by lightning before it was born." The Creation Tree was very helpless.
Su Qing took a breath: "Is the way of heaven so cruel? Even children..."
"Shh! If you don't want to be struck by lightning, don't talk about the way of heaven." The fortune tree quickly told him to shut up, "I also think that your strength is still low, even if you give birth to offspring, you won't attract the attention of the way of heaven. If your strength becomes higher, It is not easy to safely conceive an offspring."
"Then I don't want it either." Su Qing shrugged, "In the future, I will fly to the upper realm with Brother Jiang, so why leave a child here? According to the routine in the novel, there may be an upper realm and an upper realm, so we should obediently focus on cultivation Right. And if there is a child, maybe it will become our heart demon, and according to the formula, with two such powerful fathers, this child may still be a devil in the world, and then I will not worry about it. All in all, Having a baby is not suitable for Brother Jiang and me."
"..." The Creation Tree was silent, and he couldn't refute it?
Seeing that the Creation Tree had entered a semi-dormant state and closed itself, Su Qing ran to Qi Jiang and told him about it: "What do you think the Creation Tree thought? How could it think of letting us have a baby?"
"Don't listen to his nonsense." Qi Jiang also didn't care about saving face for the Creation Tree, and rolled his eyes, "It's nothing to look for."
In the past, Shanshan and Jinjin were enough to bother him. With these two little guys at home, he had to compete for favor every day.
If you really have a baby, isn't that making yourself guilty?
Because of this matter, Qi Jiang didn't have a good tone when he talked about the Creation Tree for two days in a row, as if he was treating an enemy, his eyebrows were cold.
It was almost March, and it had been eight days since Su Qing left the giant forest. At noon of this day, the pouring rain outside suddenly stopped, and the three suns pushed away the dark clouds, and the sun shone on the earth.
Plants all over the world are enjoying the warmth brought by the sun to their heart's content, accepting this blessing from heaven with joy and encouragement.
For plants, this is a gift, but for other races, three suns are too much suffering.
Since the beginning of this month, consecutive days of heavy rain have increased the moisture in the world countless times. I hope that the jungle deep in the base is still lucky, but some places have suffered early floods, while some places rely on a small amount of rainwater to survive.
But no matter where it is, after the birth of Sanyang, the moisture on the ground is disappearing rapidly, and the temperature is also soaring rapidly, which is not much better than last year's dry season.
Caught off guard, many creatures were sunburned, and the skins of some people and monsters were even scorched.
Countless human beings hid in houses to escape the heat, while monsters ran to the shade. Only the plants stretched their bodies to receive the sunlight as much as possible, even if they were smoky, they did not want to shrink back.
Sanyang hung in the sky for nearly nine hours, and the sky was still bright until nine o'clock in the evening. When the dark clouds blocked the sun again, the plants all over the world fell silent again.
But this time, they are destined not to be silent for too long.
