Chapter 970: Three Boats Under One Foot, Shen He's Hometown

The next morning, there was no rain, it was half sunny and half cloudy, but the smell of spreading hatred still lingered in the wind.

Jiang Yi woke up from his dream and found Shen He, Ying and Paimeng chatting outside the house.

There was the scent of burning agarwood in the air.

Jiang Yi brushed the talisman on his waist, washed up and went out.

"Continue studying today?" Heulia asked in her mind.

"Well! It's not difficult for me to do two things at the same time." Jiang Yi asked Heulia to continue teaching divine knowledge.

Every word of this knowledge carries power and information that is difficult for ordinary mortals or even the holders of the Eye of God to bear.

Jiang Yi studied eagerly, and at the same time, he verified some of the knowledge of the gods with the forbidden scrolls of the Hilliard Shaman, which contained equally maddening spells, the mysteries of the earth veins and elements.

Divine knowledge is divided into common knowledge that gods understand and advanced knowledge in their respective fields. Much of it cannot be told to the world and is ancient secrets and taboos.

"Good morning!" Jiang Yi greeted everyone, checked out of the room, and walked towards the construction site together.

All kinds of giant mechanisms are in operation, including tower cranes, suspension bridges, bucket cart ropes, huge wooden beams... Ant-like workers wearing safety helmets are constantly keeping up with the progress under the magnificent floating island.

Last night, the construction site worked all night and the workers worked in shifts.

"The Jade Pavilion has risen. It's really spectacular looking up from such a close distance." Paimon looked up at the huge floating island.

In the center of the island, a huge mountain boulder as warm as an emerald is connected to the surrounding circular base.

That was the "Mingxia Floating Life Stone" that, after being activated, shed its silver-gray shell, revealing its true appearance, breaking free from the shackles of the world and rising into the sky.

Huge iron chains, thicker than an adult's waist, tightly pull the "Qun Yu Pavilion" up into the air, to the height of the tops of the surrounding mountains.

The Qun Yu Pavilion is very large, and in order to ensure balance, the construction of the base and the top was carried out in stages.

Once the pavilions and towers are completed, the iron chains will be retracted and the Qun Yu Pavilion will fly to its proper height.

With the gathering of Liyue's skilled craftsmen, coupled with a huge mechanism and a large number of manpower, the construction speed was very fast. It looked like playing with building blocks, and the outline of the original Qun Yu Pavilion appeared quickly.

After all, the most time-consuming base formation and mechanism layout have almost been completed.

Jiang Yi stared at this group of Yuge, learning from their experience.

When he built the Baiyujing Palace in Heaven, he was able to use the immortal method of constructing buildings in the instant of the cave heaven to complete the construction of the palace and the city.

"Beidou, Yunjin!" Paimeng suddenly waved happily.

Jiang Yi turned around.

"I didn't expect you to find the most important floating stone so quickly. We are a step late." Beidou put one hand on his waist.

Ying was slightly surprised: "Beidou also participated in the competition held by Ningguang."

"That's right!" Beidou said with a smile, "I accidentally got a piece of Mingxia Floating Life Stone when I was adventuring on the sea before, so I brought it here."

Beidou is also one of the people who knows about the Fusheng Flying Boat. As the Dragon King who controls the ships in the sea, Ningguang also referred to Beidou's opinions when designing the flying boat in the sea of ​​clouds.

Just as there are winds and waves in the sea, there are also "winds and waves" in the sky.

The most important piece of these "Mingxia Floating Life Stones" will be used to build the Qun Yu Pavilion, and the others will be purchased by Ningguang to build the largest batch of floating life flying boats.

The Seven Stars ship is named after the seven stars.

"Yun Jin is also here to participate in the competition?" Jiang Yi asked with a smile.

"Well, I happened to borrow Captain Beidou's ship to transport the Floating Life Stone." Yun Jin said generously, "My father still has some connections. Although the Floating Life Stone I found is a little small, it can still pass the test. Miss Ningguang's qualification to ask questions is still very attractive to me."

"This is..." She said and looked at Shen He.

Where did Master Jiang Yi find such a beautiful girl?

"I forgot to introduce you. This is my senior sister, Shen He." All the friends present knew that he was a disciple of the immortal family, so Jiang Yi did not need to hide it.

"So you are a disciple of the immortal." Yun Jin's expression slightly changed, "Hello, my name is Yun Jin."

"Hello." Shen He nodded.

What is the level of relationship between this girl and Jiang Yi?

"Nice to meet you! My name is Beidou!" Beidou introduced himself, "Jiang Yi, Ying and Paimeng, you and Mr. Yun, it seems you have known each other for a long time!"

Especially Young Master Jiang Yi, he really has a wide range of friends. There are so many outstanding girls in Liyue, it is hard to say that there is anyone he doesn’t know.

"Are we competitors?" Paimon scratched his head.

"Even if it's Master Jiang Yi, I won't admit defeat." Yun Jin smiled.

"No! Shen He and I are just foreign aids for Ying and Paimeng. The three of you are competing. The top three will get three chances to ask questions, which is exactly equal among you." Jiang Yi humbly gave up the opportunity.

"As a friend, I can also be your foreign aid!" he said with a smile.

"Damn it, what's this about having three girlfriends at the same time?" Paimon stomped his feet.

“……” Ying, Beidou and Yunjin had different expressions when they heard Paimeng’s words.

"...Paimon's metaphor...hmm..." Beidou thought for a long time, "Interesting?"

Yun Jin covered her face and chuckled.

Paimon was panicked.

"I think that instead of competing with each other, it would be better for us to unite and take the top three places. That would be really good." Yun Jin said indifferently.

Beidou nodded, and Ying agreed.

"Okay! Then we are allied. I will provide a clue about the 'Qianqi Core'." Beidou said, "It is said that this core is not difficult to create, but the difficulty lies in the difficulty in preparing the several ores used as materials."

"You can find Master Zhang of 'Hanfeng Ironware' to forge it. I have been in Yuehai Pavilion for a while, and I know that Master Zhang also helped Ningguang repair the Qunyu Pavilion last time." Jiang Yi said, "As for the ore, the main ones we need are 'Star Shattering Iron Ore' and 'Secret Hua Stone'."

Star-Breaking Iron Ore can be found near Tianheng Mountain. It will resonate with the Eye of God, so you cannot search for it. Secret Hua Stone is very rare on the market... It is also produced near Tianheng Mountain, and you need a special opportunity to find it. "

He had created the "Thousand Wonders Core" as one of Durin's driving forces. If there were no extra ore left in the cave, he could have given it directly to a few people.

"Mr. Jiang Yi is indeed very reliable as an external aid." Yun Jin said with a smile, "Then let's go to Tianheng Mountain now."

"Of course! My sister and I were going to visit Tianheng Mountain. But our purpose is slightly different from yours." Jiang Yi said, "Let Du Lin take us there."

They found an open area and summoned Du Lin. Not long after, they arrived at Tianheng Mountain.

Yunjin and Beidou used the Eye of God to sense the "Star-Breaking Iron Ore", and Ying and Paimeng helped to dig it.

Jiang Yi and Shen He came to a village near Tianheng Mountain.

"This is it." Shen He said, looking at the stone road that stretched out and outlined the village with scattered houses on the hillside.

Ancient well, wooden house, thatched roof, wild flowers...working people.

"Then let's go in and take a look!" Jiang Yi held Shen He's hand. Last night, Shen He hoped that he could accompany her to a place, which was undoubtedly here.

There are many houses in this village, but there don't seem to be many people living here.

After walking for a long time, the two finally saw an old man.

Shen He stopped.

"...Uncle Mingjun." She said softly.

The old man who was staring at the houses in the village in a daze was shocked, turned around slowly, and looked at the woman with waist-length white hair, empty eyes, and fairy-like temperament.

I found a familiar feeling between his eyebrows.

"You are...?" This familiarity made him unable to remember.

"Shen He." Shen He said,

Jiang Yi felt that Shen He was not as calm as he seemed when he answered, so he held his hand with a little force.

"Ah He..." The old man finally found where the familiar feeling came from. It came from Shen He's parents. "You are still alive? Are those rumors true? You have been..."

He looked at Jiang Yi next to Shen He. They were a handsome man and a beautiful woman. It seemed...

"Very good!" Shen He's voice was calm and natural, but to Jiang Yi's ears, it sounded very heavy, as if his heart was blocked and depressed.

"Really?" The old man sighed with emotion.

silence.

The conversation seemed to be stalling.

"That's good!" The old man sighed, "There aren't many people here, but I can still provide a pot of tea. Do you want to come in and sit down?"

"No!" Shen He shook his head, "I just came to take a look."

"Is this your friend?" The old man looked at Jiang Yi.

"He's my important person." Shen He replied.

"Important people!" The old man nodded. "So much time has passed, and everything has changed. It's inevitable to be alone. Now, everything is fine."

"I'm just taking a walk in the village, and our friends will come over soon." Shen He greeted.

"We have friends..." The old man seemed a little relieved, "Just wander around! You can see everywhere."

"Yeah!" Shen He moved forward slowly, and Jiang Yi looked at his senior sister.

"A few years ago, I went down the mountain without telling my master and came back here once. After living in the mountains and practicing for more than ten years, even the most indifferent heart will be moved." After he was far away from outsiders, Shen He slowly told his story.

On that certain night, on a whim, I secretly went down the mountain and returned to my hometown.

Jiang Yi and Shen He found a high hillside, sat on the grass, and looked at the village below.

"At that time, this place was deserted, with only some ignorant thieves. People and things familiar to me were far away from me. Only passers-by surrounded me and praised my temperament as that of an immortal." Shen He did not like being called an immortal by mortals. "I explained to them that I was not an immortal, but just an ordinary person born in this village, but no one was willing to believe me."

However, now...

If protecting Jiang Yi for her entire life requires a lifespan as long as an immortal, she will also learn to live like an immortal.

Her God's Eye was given to her because she wanted to live.

Jiang Yi reached out and gently hugged Shen He.

"At that time, I looked at the dilapidated house and felt a little helpless for a moment. I always felt that in this vast world, it seemed that I could go anywhere, but when I thought about it carefully, I could not go anywhere." Shen He smiled self-deprecatingly.

“I don’t know whether I still have a longing for my home and relatives, or whether I am just following some vague sentiment… I want to go to the house where I once lived and see what kind of life my father, who was stubborn and wronged in the past, is living now.”

Shen He lowered his head, his tone was calm and without any ripples.

"However, my neighbors told me that my father had passed away several years ago."

"When I arrived at the house, the old house where I lived as a child had been pawned and demolished, and all traces of it in my memory had disappeared in the wind and rain."

Shen He had no tears, but just leaned on Jiang Yi's shoulder.

What I see is the ruins of the old house, which has been covered with grass and trees.

Shen He closed his eyes.

That day.

She stood there silently, listening to the fleeting whistling sound deep in her heart.

Resentment? Obsession? Relief?

In an instant, there was everything, and nothing remained, leaving only an ancient well without ripples in my heart.

Even a completely dry well, with no surface for ripples to exist.
