"Are they alive?" Si Ruo looked at Wu Dongfang in surprise.
Wu Dongfang did not answer, but took off the Qiankun Bag from his waist. The Qiankun Bag can hold things a hundred times the size of the mouth of the bag, but he has tried many times, but he has never been able to store the transparent ball in it.
The Qiankun Bag cannot store living things. He did this just to further confirm whether these three spheres were really alive. Now he got the exact answer, these three spheres were really alive.
After a brief moment of pondering, Wu Dongfang transformed into a wooden box and put three balls in the wooden box. Then he took out a handful of positioning spirit beads from his arms, found two of them and handed them to Si Ruo, " You go back first and call Fei Xuan and Xun Shuang over. I will take them to the Fire Clan to find Xin Tong to check on things. In addition, don’t be idle when you return to Xia Capital. Help me find someone. According to the last calculation, Do you remember that old wizard with eight stars in a row?"
"Are you talking about Master Lao Qi?" Si Ruo asked.
Wu Dongfang condensed the rope and put the wooden box on his back, "Yes, he seems to be in poor health, and I don't know if he is dead or alive now. If he is still alive, you can find him. If he is dead, find someone who is good at pushing him." I have something to ask them about understanding people who have studied for many years.”
Si Ruo nodded in agreement, and Tu Dun went first. Wu Dongfang boosted his energy and took off into the air, determined the direction, and swept towards the southeast.
At midnight in the morning, Wu Dongfang returned to the Jin clan and briefly informed Ming Yue of what happened last night. He also told her the location of the meteorite iron left behind and how to move it, and asked her to tell Ming Zhan, who had previously removed it from Lingshan. Most of the metals are pipes, and some special liquids were previously stored inside. Most of the metal pipes are corroded and cannot be used.
After a short stay, Wu Dongfang set off again for the Fire Tribe.
However, he did not rush to the capital of the Fire Tribe, but came to the river where Mingwan was discovered. To the west of this river is the Jin Tribe's boundary, and to the east is the Fire Tribe's territory. From here, summoning Xin Tong can save one more circle.
After crushing Xin Tong's positioning spirit bead, Wu Dongfang sat down, opened the wooden box and took out a transparent ball. At this time, the lotus leaf inside the ball had grown a lot, and the total size was total when counted. There are nine lotus leaves, and the white lotus root soaked in the clear water has five segments. Compared with when the ball was first discovered, the white lotus root in the water has shrunk significantly at this time.
Looking at the other two, it is also the same situation. The larger the lotus leaf, the smaller the size of the white lotus root. Eight hours have passed since the discovery of the first ball. The white lotus root in the first ball has already It has shrunk by one-third. Judging from this speed, the white lotus root in the first ball will disappear completely in another sixteen hours. The last ball will appear four times later than the first ball. hours, that is to say, the white lotus roots in these three balls will disappear after twenty hours.
It’s unknown what will happen after the white lotus root disappears. At present, it seems that these three spheres were sealed in meteorite. The person who sealed them must have something to do with Xuannv and the goddess. The goddess and Xuannv are good people. Whether they are evil or not cannot be determined for the time being, but one thing is certain, that is, they represent intelligent life beyond the earth.
The things they seal are definitely not good for them. From this perspective, the living creatures in these three spheres are likely to hinder the control and influence of alien life on the earth.
To determine whether your judgment is correct, there is a very simple method, which is destructive testing. If these three balls are invulnerable, then they are the enemies of alien life. Alien life has discovered them but cannot destroy them. They, that's why they are sealed.
If they can be destroyed, the metal wrapping them is not sealing but protecting them, then they are friends of alien life, and it doesn't matter if they are destroyed.
Confirming that his analysis was correct, Wu Dongfang seriously began the destructive test, poking, smashing, burning, and freezing. The result of the test was that the three balls were invulnerable to water and fire. Even if he tried to bury them, they would automatically float to the ground. .
"Brother Wu, what are you doing?" Xin Tong's voice came from the east.
Wu Dongfang stood up straight and waved to Xin Tong, who rushed over quickly.
After Xin Tong arrived, he found three balls on the ground and had to ask where they came from. Wu Dongfang told Xin Tong what had happened before. Xin Tong listened and looked curiously at the lotus flowers in the balls.
"Fei Xuan and Xun Shuang are on their way to the Xia Capital. Let's finish the work at hand and rush over to meet them as soon as possible. Then we can discuss and study together." Wu Dongfang put the ball back into the wooden box.
"What else needs to be done now?" Xin Tong asked.
Wu Dongfang told the story of Ming Wan's humiliation and his murder, but he did not tell Xin Tong that he was sure that the time was related to him, and Xin Tong didn't ask much. She took it for granted that Wu Dongfang's calculation of time was related to these three transparent people. related to the ball.
Ancient times were similar to modern times. Murder cases were taken very seriously. Several people disappeared all of a sudden. The village where the missing persons belonged took it very seriously. The news spread to the tribe and the capital, and even a heavenly master came to investigate thoroughly. As for the people who came here that year It is impossible to verify at this time whether the Fire Tribe Celestial Master who killed the bull-headed monster was someone else or was Xin Tong's master Xin Luo.
The villagers in the villages where those men belonged and the families of those men remembered the time of their deaths very clearly. In order to increase their insurance, the two went to the tribe again, and the people in the tribe who handled the matter also gave the same information. The answer is that there was no written language at that time. Calculating time depends entirely on the brain. The reason why the person in charge remembers the specific time is because the day after the incident was the day of his son’s wedding. People are like this, and they don’t care about the affairs of outsiders. Never care enough about your own affairs.
After determining the time when the Fire Tribe disappeared, go back seventeen days to the day he came to the Xia Dynasty. Then he only needs to find someone who is good at deducing the yin and yang years to calculate and calculate it. The specific time when he came here to complete his first century.
"Brother Wu, is this matter urgent?" Xin Tong asked. Wu Dongfang was very anxious after setting off on the road, which showed that he was very anxious.
Wu Dongfang nodded. He didn't know why he always felt flustered recently. No matter what he looked at, he felt uncertain and uneasy. This feeling was somewhat similar to the feeling he had when he appeared in the early Xia Dynasty. Everything he looked at felt unreal. But what seems unreal is actually real.
"Brother Wu, what happened?" Xin Tong asked nervously.
"It's nothing, I'm just a little flustered." Wu Dongfang didn't lie or tell the truth. Xin Tong was not very young, so there was no need for her to worry until the matter was unclear.
"Have you got a bad premonition?" Xin Tong's nervousness turned into concern. The intuition of practitioners is much sharper than that of ordinary people. Before danger occurs, they often have negative emotions such as panic, palpitations, restlessness, and anxiety.
Wu Dongfang shook his head, "No."
"There is no reason to be flustered." Xin Tong moved two feet to the left and got closer to Wu Dongfang.
"I always feel that something big is going to happen, but it's not necessarily a bad thing. The panic may come from being too nervous, which makes me a little uneasy." Wu Dongfang said.
Xin Tong tilted his head and looked at Wu Dongfang, "Brother Wu, are you hiding something from me?"
"No, I just have some unconfirmed speculations in my mind, or maybe I'm overthinking it and can't explain this matter in a sentence or two." Wu Dongfang shook his head and said.
Xin Tong saw that Wu Dongfang was restless, so he did not continue to ask, but put his right hand on his and flew alongside him.
Xin Tong's hands were delicate and slender, and the smoothness between his fingers gradually calmed Wu Dongfang's impetuous mood, but the uneasiness and anxiety deep in his heart did not diminish.
At watch time, when the two arrived near the capital, Xin Tong took the initiative to let go and distanced himself from him.
Si Ruo returned with Earth Escape in the early morning. After returning to the Xia Capital, she immediately crushed Xun Shuang and Fei Xuan's locating spirit beads. The two felt this and set off immediately, arriving at the Xia Capital earlier than Wu Dongfang and Xin Tong. When Wu Xin and Wu Xin arrived at the Mansion of the Five Clan Holy Witches and Heavenly Masters, Si Ruo and Xun Shuang Fei Xuan had already been waiting in the main hall for a long time.
The two landed and were greeted by three people. Due to the unusual relationship, neither party greeted them and returned to the main hall together after saying hello.
The House of the Five Clans Holy Witches and Heavenly Masters was built by Si Shaokang for Wu Dongfang, but Wu Dongfang only lived here for a short period of time. However, although the master was not at home, there was no shortage of servants and handymen. Immediately after everyone sat down, there was a palace maid. The two brought hot tea and replaced it with new tea for the three of them.
During the waiting period, Xun Shuang and Fei Xuan must have learned from Si Ruo what happened. Therefore, after Wu Dongfang put down the wooden box, Fei Xuan immediately moved the wooden box over, and after a brief look, he removed the three items inside. Only a transparent ball was taken out.
The lotus leaves in two balls have stopped growing, and a budding lotus appears between the lotus leaves. The white lotus roots in the other ball have not yet produced green stems, and the lotus leaves are still in the growth stage.
"No need to try. I tried it before and the spiritual energy couldn't penetrate it." Wu Dongfang picked up the teacup and said to Fei Xuan, who was testing the ball's breath.
"What is this?" Fei Xuan asked casually.
Wu Dongfang didn't answer Fei Xuan's words. On the surface, there was a lotus growing in these three balls, but it was obvious that these were no ordinary lotuses.
"Have you found the old wizard?" Wu Dongfang looked at Si Ruo.
"Master Laoqi is no longer here, and the people I sent are rushing back to the Xiadu with his wife," Si Ruo said.
Wu Dongfang nodded. Lao Qi's wife had lived with Lao Qi for so many years, and it was normal for her to know how to promote research.
"The lotus is a pure thing. This thing that transforms into a lotus must not be an evil thing." Fei Xuan made a judgment.
"What can we do?" Xun Shuang asked.
Wu Dongfang replied, "We can't do anything. This thing is invulnerable to water and fire. I roughly estimated the time before. The white lotus root will disappear in the early morning of the day after tomorrow. Something will definitely happen by then, but what will happen now?" It’s still unknown.”
Although Xun Shuang was the one who asked the question, he did not nod at Wu Dongfang after receiving the answer. Instead, he directly moved his eyes back to the wooden table on which the ball was placed.
"When will Madam Luo Qi arrive?" Wu Dongfang asked Si Ruo.
"It will be the third watch at the earliest." Si Ruo stood up and walked out of the temple, "Wood Sage and Water Sage have not had dinner, so I will order them to bring food."
After a while, dinner was served. It was very sumptuous, but none of the five had any appetite, so they took a few bites and ordered them to leave.
Since Si Ruo had already told Fei Xuan and Xun Shuang about the origin of the three balls, and everyone knew about the goddess and Xuannv, they did not discuss or talk for a while, but sat quietly on the wooden floor. Sitting on the chair, he stared at the three balls intently.
At the third watch, Lao Qi's wife rushed over. This old woman was around sixty years old. She was already very calm at this age, but the powerful momentum and invisible pressure of the five tribes of holy witches gathered together made her involuntarily nervous. , and saluted everyone cautiously.
Wu Dongfang didn't talk nonsense and got straight to the point. The old lady was about to go down to do some research and calculations, but he stopped her. He called a few palace maids to light the lamp for her and asked her to do some research in the main hall.
The research on year and month is not as complicated as the research on destiny. A quarter of an hour later, the old lady got the result, but she was worried that it was wrong, so she verified it again, and then bowed down and reported, "For the Holy Wizards, it has been calculated."
"When?" Wu Dongfang asked eagerly.
"According to the lunar calendar, the period of the first century has passed. If calculated according to the lunar calendar, the period of the first century will be tomorrow..."
