Chapter 22 Spiral Ascension
The capital of the Cambrian Kingdom, Chaoge City, is located in the center of the basin outside the southwest entrance of the Monster Mountain Range.
During the Dharma Ending Age, it was still a small village where refugees gathered.
It was only after the Tianyuan era that it began to rise under the leadership of the Xueyan Sect.
One hundred years ago, by taking over the talisman-sticking and weapon-refining industry of the Taoist Alliance, it gradually developed into the capital of the Cambrian Kingdom.
Today, in the Chaoge City, swords are flying in rows, beasts are controlled to create the wind, the morning glow is rolling, and the auspicious aura is rising.
The palaces, attics, high towers, long streets in the city...all the buildings are majestic and exquisitely designed, full of the new vitality of the Tianyuan era.
The imperial palace of the Xiahou Dynasty was located in the central garden of Chaoge City.
It is stacked layer upon layer, rising into the sky, like a sky garden.
The middle level of the imperial palace, Huaqing Palace.
Huaqing Palace was once the bedroom of the emperor's favorite concubine, Concubine Qing. It is very large and extremely beautiful.
After Concubine Qing died, the huge Huaqing Palace seemed too empty for Princess Feiyue alone.
In addition, there were not many palace maids and eunuchs serving her, so the garden of Huaqing Palace began to be abandoned.
The garden was very large, with weeds growing in the cracks between the stone slabs. Only the clear pond on the west side was kept clear and clean.
By the clear pool.
A woman dressed as a palace maid pointed at a bundle of gunpowder barrels and a chair tied to the barrels in front of her and asked excitedly: "Can this little bit of gunpowder... really fly?"
The woman had a slim yet graceful figure, she wore a pair of delicate red cloth shoes and a light pink long skirt like an ordinary lady.
The pretty oval face was mostly covered by tasseled bangs, her eyebrows were like distant ink, her eyes were like autumn water, her bun was like a crimson moon, and her body smelled like musk.
It was the one who had been scammed by Xiao Bai many times——
Princess Crimson Moon!
The princess is extremely beautiful, but her dress is not noble enough, and she looks like a maid.
As expected, they are half-sisters of Mu Yun. One of them is a Taoist boy and the other is a maid. They are exactly the same.
Princess Muyun is really young, but Princess Feiyue is actually over 30 years old.
Even though she still looks like a girl...
People in their thirties who are not married and are still playful like tinkering with all kinds of novel toys are a bit silly and can be described as the ultimate naive person.
This is also the reason why Xiao Bai always wanted to offend Princess Feiyue when he first traveled through time.
Unfortunately, the modifier was hacked and didn't work.
Beside Feiyue, the eunuch in charge of making the gunpowder barrel said confidently: "Princess, please rest assured. There is a magic talisman attached to the side of the chair. It will definitely fly!"
"Put up the talisman again?"
Feiyue looked unhappy, spoke like a naughty boy, put her hands on her waist, and said angrily:
"Are you mocking me for not knowing how to practice? I've told you so many times, no talismans are needed, just gunpowder - if there is enough, I will be able to fly!"
"yes!"
The young eunuch had no choice but to go back to school and be retrained.
Ten gunpowder barrels were tied together with military chains, and five red ropes were wrapped around the chair, which was enough to secure the princess's body.
Princess Feiyue was very satisfied when she saw that the new version of the gunpowder barrel not only had more powder tubes but also had an extra safety rope.
She sat on the chair excitedly.
He ordered the palace maid beside him to tie her up and secure her to the chair.
Before leaving, she ate and drank enough happily to avoid starving to death.
When everything was ready, Feiyue waved his hand with great vigor and vigor.
"ignition!"
More than eighty gunpowder tubes, spewing flames at once!
The princess, weighing more than 80 kilograms, was sent up to the sky.
Unfortunately, the amount of gunpowder in each tube was not absolutely even, resulting in inconsistent combustion progress...
Thus, Princess Feiyue spiraled up to heaven.
When it reached a thousand feet, the gunpowder barrel exploded with a bang—
Boom! The bamboo tubes and broken wood flew everywhere, like fireworks in the daytime.
In the center of the falling flames, a blue flower umbrella gracefully fell.
The woman under the umbrella, with a black and gray face, red eyes, and a pink dress that was mostly torn...
Fortunately, I was wearing a layer of black safety soft armor inside.
Although his body was in a mess, it could not conceal the bright stars in his eyes.
The eunuchs and palace maids were so frightened that they fell to their knees.
"Damn you slave!"
"This slave deserves death!"
"No problem."
Princess Feiyue waved her hand.
Excited, she wiped the soot off her face, revealing a stunning beauty that was definitely not something a palace maid could possess.
"Eunuch Xiaoyan, you did a great job, and you can get a reward of 100 taels! However, the stability of the gunpowder combustion needs to be improved. If you do a few more experiments, I will have a new palace."
The little lady was dumbfounded when she heard it.
"Are you serious?"
Feiyue nodded:
"Of course, I hate anything that has to be powered by spiritual power."
The young eunuch was still in shock.
"But if you hadn't had the ring protecting you, you would have been in great danger."
Feiyue chuckled and said calmly, "You have to eat one bite at a time. I won't die."
The young eunuch still knelt by the pool, not daring to stand up, and argued: "But all things have spirits. Without spirit power, there would be no Tianyuan Continent. Even mortals have weak spirit power. Mortals push carts and carry loads, which is also driven by spirits and flesh. How can a non-spiritual being drive an object?"
At this moment, a cold and stern voice came from the main gate -
"How do you talk to a princess?"
When the young eunuch heard this, he was so frightened that he immediately kowtowed to the ground and dared not move.
“I just like people who are serious.”
Feiyue curled her lips and turned her head to look.
The person who came was none other than his cousin, Shangguan Qun, who was the Imperial Censor of the Palace.
He has a gentle appearance and is quite polite.
"Although the talisman tools of the Dao League are very close to what I want, they are expensive and require special people to make them, which is too troublesome."
"Everyone go down."
Shangguan Qun shouted at the eunuchs and palace maids to leave, then turned to Feiyue and said:
"You're going off-road the more you play."
Feiyue put away her playful heart and asked casually:
"Why is uncle here?"
Shangguan Qun said:
"Three days later, Xueyan Sect will hold a ceremony for the elders of the alchemy sect to accept their companions. I have informed Sect Master Chun Xiaozi that you will represent the Imperial Palace to attend."
Feiyue frowned slightly.
"Does the Imperial Palace have to attend such a trivial matter? Why don't the two Imperial brothers go? Are you trying to amuse me?"
Shangguan Qun smiled and said, "I thought you missed Princess Muyun."
Feiyue shook her head.
"She has too high a talent for cultivation and is also proud. I don't like her."
Shangguan Qun said:
"I thought it was you who helped Princess Muyun go to Baicao Peak?"
"I only send her away because I hate her, to prevent her from riding on my head sooner or later."
Feiyue responded casually, thought for a moment and then asked curiously: "It is said that the Pill Elder is very beautiful. I wonder what kind of Taoist partner she will find."
Shangguan Qun said:
"It is said that he is a handsome young errand boy."
"How handsome is that?"
Feiyue was a little surprised, then stretched.
"The elder is really fun. I must bring some fun toys as gifts... Well, let's go, and get some new toys from the Xueyan Sect's Weapon Refining Peak."
"Still thinking about playing..."
Shangguan Qun felt helpless.
Unexpectedly, Feiyue's face suddenly darkened, her eyes were like lightning, and she said coldly: "Also, don't make decisions for me next time, Shangguan Yushi."
Shangguan Qun's old face darkened and he was so frightened that he could only bow.
"Yes, Princess."
