The water was brought over. Niu Youdao took the kettle and began to pour water into the imitation Immeasurable Fruit.
Niu Youdao then stuffed the pearl fragment that was hanging on the silk thread into the imitation. After scrutinizing the light transmission, Niu Youdao smiled and began to fasten the other end of the silk thread onto the hole in the imitation, causing the pearl fragment inside to hang in the imitation. Then, he carefully cast a spell to fuse the hole.
After the seal was complete, Niu Youdao took out the carving knife again and carefully carved the fused area, perfecting the imitation.
After he was done, Niu Youdao put down the carving knife and casually threw the imitation out. He smiled and said, "See what you think."
Heiyun caught it and held it in his palm to take a look. Everyone present was dumbfounded.
It wasn't that they had seen the Immeasurable Fruit before. In fact, none of the Fox Clan in their generation had seen it before. What made them dumbfounded was that this thing seemed to be alive.
There was a faint red light seeping out from the uneven surface. Under the change in light perception, this thing seemed to be breathing, but also like a beating heart.
Holding it in his hand, Heiyun could feel the source of this wonderful feeling. He could feel the pearl fragment floating inside the imitation moving. The light that seemed to be breathing was an illusion created by the pearl fragment swaying in the water.
Looking at the carving on the imitation, it looked rough, but every bit of roughness was actually man-made. This exquisite craftsmanship caused Heiyun to click his tongue in amazement. "Niu Youdao, I didn't expect you to have such craftsmanship."
Niu Youdao chuckled. "I've been interested in imitations before. It's just a small trick, I don't think it's good enough for you, right?"
Heiyun looked at it carefully. "It's not bad, but it's useless to ask us if it's good or not. We've never seen what the Immeasurable Fruit looks like. Whether it looks like it or not, you have to know yourself."
Niu Youdao said, "As long as you don't look at it too closely, it should be able to pass off as the real thing on the surface. To put it bluntly, I am an expert in this field! "
Hei Yun shook the object in his hand. "If I'm not mistaken, this thing is glowing like it's breathing. It should be produced when the fragments of the orb dangling inside shake. If it doesn't move, I'm afraid that someone will notice something wrong. Does the Immeasurable Fruit need to be swayed to produce this light perception? "
Niu You said, "That's why I want to hang the fragments inside so that it's easy to produce a similar sense of light when it swings inside. The reason I added water is also to make the sense of light more realistic. It's also to slow down the strength of the internal swinging of the fragments to prevent them from colliding with the internal parts and creating easily detectable movements."
"As for whether people will notice anything wrong, I've observed the Immeasurable Fruit tree. Because of the Crow General's protection, as long as someone approached, the Crow General would immediately reveal itself. When the Crow General revealed itself, its aura would sway to a certain extent, enough to confuse anyone who approached. If no one comes close to check, it doesn't matter if the light is still. "
"It was precisely because of this on-site observation that I felt confident after leaving the Immeasurable Garden. That was why I immediately found you and asked you to prepare the imitation materials."
"Given the current situation, unless Wu Chang personally arrives to control the Crow General, the people in the Immeasurable Garden can only guess with their eyes. The Crow General doesn't recognize anyone, so no one can get close to it. If you force your way in, the Crow General will destroy the Immeasurable Fruit. "
"If someone really gets close to the Immeasurable Fruit's tentacles to check, then there's nothing we can do. No matter how realistic the imitation is, it's useless, so your worries are unnecessary."
Heiyun flipped through the things in his hands. "Since you're confident, that's naturally a good thing. Do you want to make another eleven? "
Niu Youdao: "Make another twelve. This was just a sample to test. The carving of the real thing needed to be more meticulous and exquisite. Also, I'm worried that the thread hanging inside won't be firm after being soaked in the water for a long time. Find some sturdy thread for me. "
Heiyun immediately gestured for his men to do as he was told.
Niu Youdao sat back on the stone table again and focused all his attention on making the Immeasurable Fruit.
He couldn't stay here forever. Otherwise, it would arouse the suspicion of the Misty Pavilion. He had to finish the work as soon as possible.
The others had already seen the process of making the Immeasurable Fruit once, so they all started to cooperate with Niu Youdao. Those who took the powder, those who took the water, and those who prepared the resin prepared the resin, trying their best to reduce the troublesome process for Niu Youdao.
…
In the imperial palace of Wei Country, Grand Commandant Nan Renyu entered the imperial study room and bowed respectfully to Xuan Chengtian who was sitting behind the table.
Xuan Chengtian didn't stand on ceremony. He raised his hand to indicate that there was no need for formalities and said directly, "I summoned Grand Commandant here because I have something to discuss with Grand Commandant … Grand Commandant is in an important position and has worked hard for many years. It's time for you to enjoy your leisure. Do you understand what I mean? "
Nan Renyu's heart skipped a beat when he suddenly heard this. He was asking him to hand over his military power.
He couldn't agree or disagree. He was caught unprepared and immediately said vaguely, "I understand. I will go back to prepare now."
Xuan Chengtian was furious when he heard this. "What is there to prepare for? I'm only asking if you agree or not! "
Nan Renyu's expression was solemn. He cupped his hands and said slowly, "I'm old and afraid of delaying the affairs of the country. I beg Your Majesty to choose another capable person!"
Xuan Chengtian smiled. "Since Grand Commandant has taken the initiative to resign, I will certainly consider it carefully. You may leave first!"
"Yes! I will take my leave! "Nan Renyu cupped his hands and took a few steps back. Then, he turned around and left with a gloomy expression.
Xuan Chengtian was watching him off with a smile. Unexpectedly, before Nan Renyu could take a few steps, guards suddenly rushed out from the left and right and pressed Nan Renyu down on the spot.
Before Xuan Chengtian could react to what was going on, Nan Renyu who was pressed down turned around in surprise and said loudly, "Your Majesty …"
Before he could finish his words, his mouth was covered by someone. One of the guards had already pulled out a sword and pierced through Nan Renyu's heart.
Nan Renyu's eyes widened and were filled with disbelief. Blood was already gushing out from his chest.
Xuan Chengtian stood up in shock and said in terror, "What are you doing?"
From the side, a graceful figure walked out quickly. It was Imperial Consort Chang, who came forward with a fragrant wind. "How can Your Majesty be soft-hearted for such a serious matter?"
Xuan Chengtian said in shock, "You did it? He has already agreed to resign. Why do you still want to kill him? "
He was indeed dissatisfied with Nan Renyu. Back then, he wanted to remove Nan Renyu's military power, but he was stopped by Xuan Wei. At that time, a knot was planted in his heart, and he had been brooding over it. However, he didn't dare to kill him easily. It was fine as long as Nan Renyu was obedient.
Now that Nan Renyu had already agreed, but they suddenly killed him, he really didn't know how to explain it to his royal sister.
Imperial Consort Chang knelt down in front of him and said painfully, "Your Majesty, he is obviously being perfunctory. Have you forgotten the lesson from the past? Once he is allowed to leave the palace, he will immediately complain to my royal sister. Do you think my royal sister will agree? If she doesn't agree, the backbone of Wei Country's army is mostly the trusted subordinates of my royal sister and Nan Renyu. As long as my royal sister raises her arm and calls, the army will respond. Who can remove Nan Renyu then? "
"Your Majesty, everything has been prepared. All that is left is Your Majesty's decree! Now that Nan Renyu has been killed, if Your Majesty still doesn't make up your mind, once Nan Renyu's subordinates hear the news and rebel, the palace will be surrounded by the army in an instant! "
Xuan Chengtian's breathing hastened as he said, "How are we going to explain to my royal sister?"
"Your Majesty!" Imperial Consort Chang said loudly, "As long as Your Majesty holds the military power, my royal sister won't even be able to enter the palace. She doesn't need to give any explanation. As long as Your Majesty holds the military power, even the three major sects of Wei Country will have to stand on Your Majesty's side. Your Majesty, the news of Nan Renyu's death can't be hidden for long. The arrow is already nocked on the bowstring, it has to be released! Otherwise, your concubine's heartlessness is a capital offense. Once my royal sister manages to control the situation in time, not only will I not be able to escape death, my royal sister might even cripple Your Majesty in her rage! "
"Your Majesty, you are the true monarch of a country!"
…
Golden wings flew out from the palace and rushed to various parts of Wei Country to pass down the decree.
…
In the center of the Mist Manor, the succeeding head of the Mist Manor suddenly led a group of people and kicked open a door. Everyone suddenly rushed in.
Jiang Shiji, who was sitting and reading the intelligence reports from various places, was shocked. She quickly rolled to the side of the sword rack and pulled out her sword, pointing it at the newcomer. "Zhou Gao, what are you trying to do?"
Zhou Gao was the current head of the Mist Manor.
After Xuan Wei gradually handed over the power, the control of the Mist Manor had been handed over to Xuan Chengtian. As expected, Xuan Chengtian used the person he liked.
Although Jiang Shiji had abdicated, Xuan Wei arranged the position of High Priest of the Mist Manor. To a certain extent, she was helping Xuan Wei pay attention to the intelligence reports.
Zhou Gao held the imperial decree in his hand and said in a deep voice, "His Majesty has a decree. Jiang Shiji, do you want to defy the decree?"
Seeing the imperial decree, Jiang Shiji was bewildered. She slowly put down the sword in her hand.
The people who came in immediately swarmed forward and detained Jiang Shiji on the spot.
Jiang Shiji originally wanted to figure out what was going on. Unexpectedly, Zhou Gao strode forward and pulled out his sword with a cold light, killing Jiang Shiji on the spot in a pool of blood.
Following that, Zhou Gao, who strode forward, commanded people to attack everywhere. Relying on the imperial decree, he wantonly massacred Jiang Shiji's people, or rather, cleaned up Xuan Wei's people in the Mist Manor …
Not only the Mist Manor, but the entire Wei Country's capital city seemed to have fallen into chaos.
Nan Renyu's trusted subordinates were almost killed at the same time, suspected of rebellion!
The imperial decree made the guarding sorcerers confused for a moment. By the time the accompanying sorcerers figured out what was going on, it was already too late!
Not only the capital city, once Nan Renyu was killed in the palace, the news immediately spread to various places. By the time some people reacted, many of the defending generals in various places had died under the sudden change.
Just as Imperial Concubine Chang had said, everything was already prepared. Or rather, it had been planned for a long time under someone's command. Everything was already prepared at every point. All that was left was Xuan Chengtian's imperial decree …
Tianwei Manor was already surrounded by the army.
Xuan Wei strode out angrily. The guards outside the door blocked her, and Ximen Qingkong was furious.
Xuan Wei, however, grabbed him and borrowed Tang Yi's treasured sword. She walked directly towards the forest of swords and spears, and said sternly, "Who dares to stop me!"
The guards did not dare to offend her. Facing her approaching step by step, they all subconsciously retreated.
The general who had just taken over the command looked left and right. Realizing that he was the only one left facing the enemy, he immediately turned his head and shouted, "Do not retreat!"
Xuan Wei waved her sword. A stream of blood spurted out from the general's neck, spraying all over Xuan Wei's face.
The general's face was full of pain. He covered his neck and fell to the ground.
