He had to admit that the flower eagle's meat was indeed fresh and tender. Furthermore, it was roasted over a fire, and its fragrance assailed his nostrils. He felt warm all over after eating it.
It was said that the flower eagle's meat was very nutritious.
It was a pity that the two flower eagles could only be eaten by everyone. Otherwise, Ren Baqian would have kept one piece and stored it in the fridge on Earth for future consumption.
Outside the mountain, everyone found a small town to rest for a day. Ren Baqian then made use of this time to return to Earth.
First, he asked the physics expert about the progress of the solar furnace. The small one that could melt a small piece of iron in a short period of time was already halfway done and would be ready in a few days.
Ren Baqian was relieved after confirming that he would be able to get it after returning to Lan City.
He then drove straight home. It had been four to five months since he last went home. He didn't even go back for the New Year, so he had to go back to take a look.
His home was still the same. The only change was that his father had bought a new car for 200,000 yuan, which was considered to have fulfilled his long-cherished wish.
As for the rest of the money, it was still being saved by his parents. If Ren Baqian was short of money in the future, he could take it out or save it for Wannian's wedding.
"Who was that girl last time?" Ren Baqian accompanied his father to drink some white wine during the meal. After two glasses of wine, his father mentioned the girl in red that he saw that day again.
Not only him, but Mama Ren and Ren Wannian also pricked up their ears.
"I have said that I am a business partner. I had something to discuss with you the last time. Don't think too much about it. If I have a girlfriend, I will bring her back. "Ren Baqian's face didn't change as he spouted nonsense.
Ren Baqian thought about how he was still an honest young man at this time last year. Now, he could spout nonsense without batting an eyelid. Fate really made a fool out of people, and public morals were degenerating day by day.
After staying at home for two days, Ren Baqian returned to his rented house and returned to the other world.
"Are you ready? Let's go. "Ren Baqian pushed open the door and said to everyone waiting outside.
A few days later, Ren Baqian looked at the lofty city wall that was getting closer and closer. He was finally back.
This time, he had been away for more than half a month. He basically ran around every day and could only rest when he returned to Earth. He was already tired.
Furthermore, he somewhat missed that person in the palace.
The winged cavalry warriors sandwiched the two carriages and entered the city. Ren Baqian put down the curtain, leaned against the bumpy carriage, and closed his eyes to rest.
In a shop not far away, a person was looking at the winged cavalry and horse carriage entering the city in the middle of the road. After sizing them up for a long time, he went out and turned into an alley at the side. After making a few more turns, he finally arrived at a courtyard.
The courtyard was silent. After he knocked a few times on the wall inside the door, a few young men with indifferent expressions walked out of the room.
"That person is back. The carriage has just entered the city."
"There are others?"
"There's also a group of 100 Qi Zixiao's winged cavalry warriors guarding the left and right."
"He was protected by the winged cavalry when he came out this time, which shows how much Qi Zixiao values him. I don't know when he will come out of the palace again, and I'm afraid he won't come out alone. It's better to take a risk. In any case, there's no way we can return alive from this mission. "
"Even if it's a risky move, I still need to be able to kill him …"
"He's just an ordinary person. Even with the winged cavalry, our four repeating crossbows can turn him into a hedgehog in a split second."
"It's too hasty to chase after him now. Continue to monitor him and wait for the next time he comes out. Kill him in one shot." Finally, a person who had been silent all this while spoke up. The others nodded and didn't argue anymore.
However, in this unfamiliar city, especially when the surrounding people were mostly different from them, it was indeed difficult to keep an eye on the other party without being suspected.
As for life and death, they were all men of sacrifice and didn't intend to return alive. All they wanted was to drag the target down with them.
…
When the convoy stopped in front of the palace, Ren Baqian got off the carriage and stretched his body. Then, he saw the palace gates open and an imperial bodyguard shouted, "Imperial Deputy Prefect Ren Baqian, Director of the Ordnance Department Tao Jiyuan, and Captain of the Winged Cavalry, Teng Ji, please enter the palace for an audience."
Ren Baqian walked in the familiar palace with light footsteps. He had achieved half of his objectives this time and also brought a gift for the empress at the same time. It wasn't too bad. The only bad thing was that he didn't know what the situation was.
In the throne room, the empress sat on the seat of honor and looked down at the few of them. She asked about the things that happened along the way and then waved her hand to let the other two leave.
"You saw the bichi?" The empress frowned and looked at Ren Baqian.
"Yes." Ren Baqian nodded his head. This was what he said just now. It was better to say it himself than to let others say it.
Looking at Tao Jiyuan's posture, it seemed to be quite serious.
However, nothing happened during the past few days and Ren Baqian was relieved. However, when the empress asked him about it, his heart was in his throat again.
"Forget it, be more careful in the future." The empress sighed and said, "Follow me and tell me about the things that happened along the way."
Ren Baqian followed the empress to the garden and sat down in the pavilion.
Along the way, Ren Baqian told her about the things that happened along the way. In fact, there wasn't much to talk about. He mentioned a few things about Mount Liucui and wanted to hear what the empress had to say about the thing in the belly of the mountain.
After listening, the empress played it down and said, "In the past, there was a legend that there was a monster in there. The first emperor went there before but returned with serious injuries. Since then, the thing in there has been a taboo, and I am not very clear about it.
If there is a chance in the future, I would like to see what exactly it is. According to the legend, the thing in there has existed for at least a thousand years. "
Ren Baqian was speechless. There was actually something in there.
It was really hard to imagine that it had existed for more than a thousand years without dying. Could it be that something like the kirin was in there?
Ren Baqian suddenly thought of a question that he had never asked before. He had never thought much about it before. However, if there was something in this world that had existed for more than a thousand years, Ren Baqian suddenly felt that the lifespan of the people in this world was very likely to be different from that of the people on Earth.
At the thought of this, Ren Baqian raised the question.
The empress looked at him in surprise and said, "You actually don't know? Ordinary aboriginals have a lifespan of about 70 to 90 years. If they cultivate to the Kismet Heaven level, they can live for 120 to 140 years. If they cultivate to the Cardinal Heaven level, they can live for 180 to 200 years. After that, there is the Longevity Heaven level, and it is said that they can live for more than 300 years. The first generation emperor cultivated to the Longevity Heaven level, but he only reigned for 20 years before his whereabouts were unknown. "
Kismet Heaven, Cardinal Heaven, and Longevity Heaven were actually the cultivation realms of the aboriginals. In front of them was the Four-way Heaven.
As long as ordinary aboriginals reached adulthood and practiced a little, they could reach the Four-way Heaven level, which was equivalent to the Man Wheel level. Compared to the Great Xia practitioners, there was only one Man Wheel expert out of a hundred. This was a huge advantage. Kismet Heaven was equivalent to the Earth Wheel level to the Heaven Wheel level because the Heaven Wheel level was also known as the Path to Heaven. As the name suggested, if one couldn't make it, one would fall back to the peak of the Earth Embryo Stage.
The Cardinal Heaven level was equivalent to the Spirit Wheel level. As for the Longevity Heaven level, it was already a legendary level. It was said that Great Xia also had other levels above the Spirit Wheel level, but ordinary people didn't know about them.
In fact, the aboriginals were much stronger than the practitioners from other countries at the same level. This was completely brought about by the strength of their bodies.
Ren Baqian had learned about these classifications from Lin Qiaole when he was learning [Ruyi Visualization], but he didn't expect that the lifespan of the aboriginals would be so much longer than that of the people on Earth.
He originally thought that the aboriginals would at most live for about 100 years.
Based on this calculation, Ren Baqian was shuttling back and forth between the other world and the real world. Furthermore, the time period wasn't equal. If his body aged according to the time that he had experienced, if he lived for 60 years, only 40 years would have passed in the other world.
If his [Ruyi Visualization] couldn't increase his lifespan, wouldn't he already be old when the empress was 60 years old? On the other hand, the empress could at least live to about 180 years old.
At this thought, Ren Baqian's mood immediately turned sour.
