Chapter 326 The Meteorite Cracked
The Miaoxiaju Tea House fell into silence.
Gong Huanyu and Gong Zishang had not left yet. Like Gong Shangjiao, they were confused for a moment. Then they stared at the two old men who were unable to conceal their excitement, trying hard to digest the meaning behind those few short words.
[Does he mean that we are free? ] Gong Yuanzheng asked Zhang Xueming.
Zhang Xueming didn't pour cold water on him by saying that there was still a meteorite that needed to be destroyed: [Yes, you are free. ]
Gong Yuanzheng calmed down instead: [No, there are still meteorites and seven sects. We can only return to the North to get married after we have dealt with them.]
Zhang Xueming raised the corner of his mouth slightly.
Of the three older siblings, Gong Zishang was the fastest to come back to his senses. He couldn't help but feel guilty when he saw Elder Hua, but when he was shocked by this news, his guilty feeling disappeared without a trace, and he was left with only disbelief: "So fast?"
The problem that has troubled our ancestors for hundreds of years has now been solved in less than ten days.
Should we say that Zhang Xueming is destined to be the savior of the palace, or should we say that generations of palace people have had their brains damaged by the poisonous miasma and never think of possibilities other than defense?
It's hard to say.
Gong Shangjiao and Gong Huanyu had the same question and exchanged glances with mixed feelings.
The atmosphere is subtle.
Elder Xue and Elder Hua did not see the jubilant scene they had expected. After being puzzled, they also found that this matter was indeed a bit embarrassing.
Elder Xue said hurriedly, "These days, Old Hua has been busy urging Hua Palace to build capture equipment and organize people to clean up. I went to Wanxiang Pavilion to look up the classics and found that the lava spring in Hua Palace was not always there, but was discovered by accident when the previous generation of Elder Hua wanted to expand the foundry room."
Their ancestors also tried to use fire, but it had no effect. It can be seen that such high temperatures are necessary to kill aliens.
Such conditions only appeared in the previous generation, but they were confused by the records left by their ancestors, so it cannot be blamed on them.
The younger generations of the Gong family all understood what he meant and responded with polite smiles.
Elder Hua didn't think there was anything to worry about. Their brains were just not as good as Zhang Xueming's. Besides, "If Xiao Zhaozhao hadn't mentioned that it was recorded in history books that soldiers died on the battlefield and their bodies were hard to find, so they erected monuments to leave their names and offered incense when worshiping their ancestors, I would have hesitated. After all..."
Gong Shangjiao interrupted and said, "Two elders, don't mention such things in the future, especially don't involve Zhao Zhao. She is young and kind-hearted. She regards us as family members and wants to help everyone in the palace break free from their shackles. We should also consider her."
Gong Huanyu also said: "That's right. Don't let those with good intentions feel disheartened."
His words were very convincing.
Elder Hua immediately slapped his forehead and said self-deprecatingly: "I am old and confused. I won't mention it anymore. This matter ends here."
Elder Xue also nodded quickly: "This is what should be done."
Zhang Xueming lowered his eyes and smiled, saying nothing.
Seeing that she didn't say much, Elder Xue was satisfied. After thinking for a while, he nodded to Elder Hua.
Elder Hua understood and said to Gong Shangjiao, "Zhiren, after discussion and decision by the Council of Elders, Zheng Zhaozhao's application to enter the Wanxiang Pavilion to browse the collection of books is approved. There is no restriction on the types of books, and the time limit is three days."
Zhang Xueming looked up in surprise and looked at Gong Shangjiao: "Brother?"
Gong Shangjiao smiled and said, "Why don't you thank the elders quickly?"
Zhang Xueming stood up, bowed, and thanked him solemnly. After returning to his seat, he looked at the two old men expectantly: "Grandpa Hua, Grandpa Xue, can Ayuan go with me?"
This was the first time she addressed the two elders like this since Gong Shangjiao took over as wielder of the sword.
Elder Xue and Elder Hua were somewhat flattered. Elder Xue and Elder Hua looked at each other and smiled, "Of course."
Gong Yuanzheng already had the authority, and he was just doing a favor.
The atmosphere relaxed.
Gong Zishang was curious and couldn't help but ask Elder Xue tentatively: "Elder Xue, what does the alien look like? Just listening to Elder Yue's description, I can't imagine it."
A mischievous smile flashed in Elder Hua's eyes. He took out a scroll of painting from his sleeve pocket, but did not hand it to her, but to Zhang Xueming.
Zhang Xueming unfolded it with a puzzled look, and leaned back unconsciously: Wow! A bald head, no eyebrows, protruding brow bones, sunken eye sockets, no nose, only two holes for the nose, a wide open mouth, revealing a mouthful of sharp shark teeth... Covering the mouth, isn't it just Voldemort?
Gong Yuanzheng and Gong Zishang came over from the left and right to take a look, and shrank their necks back in shock.
Gong Yuanzheng looked strange: "Do those strange people look like this?"
Seeing that they were frightened, Elder Hua said with satisfaction: "The sixty-three alienated people, no matter what they looked like before, became like this after alienation."
He frowned as he recalled the discovery deep in the tunnel: "Ruby Servant wore protective gear and went down to search the tunnel. At the end of the deepest tunnel, he found a mountain of bones... There were many tooth marks on the bones."
They are eating each other.
It is conceivable that if Feng Gong did not study the meteorites after the first batch of mutants appeared, as long as the tunnel exit was guarded, the mutants would have died out naturally after one or two generations.
It is truly the sins committed by our ancestors that have brought suffering to future generations.
Elder Hua suddenly clapped his hands, "Oh, there is something very strange. On the afternoon of the day when Wufeng's headquarters was destroyed, a large crack suddenly appeared in the middle of the meteorite. This morning, after the last alien and the skeletons were sent into the lava spring, the meteorite directly split in two.
We dared not approach, but only watched from a distance. The interior of the two halves of the meteorite was full of cracks, and it looked like it would fall apart if it was hit hard by a sledgehammer a few times.
Both changes are closely related to Zhang Xueming. They want to know if they can destroy the meteorite in advance and end the damn plot control.
Zhang Xueming had already checked the proficiency panel. The gold text next to the face-reading skill had not changed. She shook her head and said, "To be on the safe side, let's wait until Dianzhu and the seven sects are cleared out before seeing if there will be any changes to the meteorite."
The invisible barrier that separates the South from the other three lands, the control of the development of gunpowder so that it will not exceed the research progress of the Shang Palace, the setting of the plot time...
I'm afraid that most of the power accumulated by the meteorite over hundreds of years has been used on these infrastructures, and not much has been invested in the characters in the plot. Otherwise, it cannot explain the current situation where the characters in the plot are out of control and it is powerless to do anything about it.
Zhang Xueming took the initiative to suggest: "When I come back from Wanxiang Pavilion after the Lantern Festival, it will be a good opportunity for me to go and see the meteorite while Ayuan is continuing the Three Realms Trial."
This time Gong Shangjiao didn't stop her, he just said: "Don't get too close to prevent the opponent from counterattacking."
Zhang Xueming agreed seriously.
She went back to tidy up the storage space. It seemed that she had stuffed a telescope produced by the Zhang family in it?
