"Recording pen?" Qi Tianlin frowned. Is it a pen that can record sounds?

A pen that can record sound? Unheard of!

He asked, "Where's the recorder?"

Master Hui'an shuddered and immediately kowtowed to the floor, apologizing fearfully:

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry. I didn't keep it well. I don't know whether it was stolen by a thief or lost by me a few years ago."

"I dug three feet deep into the ground at Liansheng Temple, but still couldn't find the recorder."

"You..." Qi Tianlin was so angry that his face turned blue, "You actually lost such a valuable thing."

Thinking that there were still many things that had not been clarified, Qi Tianlin tried hard to suppress his anger and asked in a cold voice:

"The Queen Mother left Liansheng Temple the year I ascended the throne?"

Master Huian raised her head slightly. She had just kowtowed to the floor repeatedly, and there was a break on her forehead that was bleeding.

He replied somewhat guiltily: "To be exact, it was the day when Your Majesty ascended the throne."

"Why?" Qi Tianlin felt a dull pain in his heart: "Why did the Queen Mother leave? What did she say before she left?"

Master Hui'an said truthfully, "Back then, the Empress Dowager told me that she was going to look for the missing Emperor, so she left me two things, one of which was a recorder, and she taught me how to use it."

"The Empress Dowager said that if the Emperor visits her in the future, she will play a section of the audio from the recorder for you to listen to each time."

"The Queen Mother said that if you listen to the sound of the recorder, you will believe that she is still in the temple. Because she knows that you are worried about her, she will definitely live well."

"She didn't want you to know that she was not in the temple because she was afraid that you would be upset after losing your parents all of a sudden."

Qi Tianlin turned his back and pulled the corners of his mouth with a bitter smile.

The Queen Mother still couldn't let go of the Emperor, so she went to look for him early. But there were so many people in this vast sea of ​​people, where could she find him?

Ten years ago, he had to go through the pain of his father's disappearance.

Today, ten years later, I have to go through the pain of my mother’s disappearance again.

Why did God do this to him?

Sensing the emperor's mood, Master Hui'an wanted to comfort him: "Your Majesty..."

Qi Tianlin hid the grief on his face and said in a cold voice: "Recall carefully whether you lost the recorder or it was stolen. I must see the recorder."

Nun Hui An: "Your Majesty, I have kept the recorder well hidden all these years. No one in the temple knows that the Queen Mother is not in the temple, nor does anyone know about the recorder."

"Years ago, I caught a cold so severe that I couldn't get out of bed. In order to recover, I didn't go to the place where I kept the recorder for a while. But when I went to check after I recovered, the recorder was gone."

"I think it's very likely that the recorder was stolen, but I checked and found that no one in our temple is suspicious."

"But if it was stolen by pilgrims, there have been many pilgrims coming to the temple to burn incense in the past six months, and they are all pilgrims from all corners of the world. I don't know any of them. Even if I want to investigate, I don't know where to start."

She went out last month and wanted to find a woman who resembled the Queen Mother's voice to impersonate her.

She wanted to fool the Emperor into thinking that it was the Empress Dowager's birthday today, but she searched for a month and couldn't find the right voice.

There is no other way but to be prepared for things to be exposed.

When the Empress Dowager left, she said that if there was an emergency one day, she should hand the jade pendant to the Emperor and things would turn around.

So half a month ago, she sent someone to deliver the jade pendant to the palace in the name of the Empress Dowager.

Thinking of this, Master Huian raised her head slightly and glanced.

When she saw the jade pendant hanging around the emperor's waist, the worry in her heart relaxed.

She was worried that the person who sent the jade pendant might lose it along the way, but now it seems that her worry was unnecessary.

Qi Tianlin said in a deep voice: "I will send people from the Ministry of Justice to investigate the whereabouts of the recorder. You must cooperate well and make sure to find the recorder back."

"In addition, in order to facilitate the investigation of the recorder, the Liansheng Temple will be temporarily closed for the time being and pilgrims are not welcome."

Master Hui'an bowed her head and kowtowed, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Qi Tianlin asked again: "You just said that my mother left two things for you before she left. Besides the recorder, what else is there?"

The other party pointed to the jade pendant hanging around his waist and said, "The other thing is this jade pendant."

Qi Tianlin was shocked, but soon found it reasonable.

During these ten years, his mother had never given him anything except this jade pendant.

Since this was given to her by her mother, it should be one of the two things.

"Then do you know how this jade pendant came into the hands of my mother?"

Nun Hui'an shook her head. "I don't know. I only know that the jade pendant was given to me by the Empress Dowager for safekeeping."

"The Empress Dowager said that if there is any emergency in the future, I will give the jade pendant to Your Majesty."

"Because the recorder is missing, I don't know how to give Your Majesty an explanation on the Queen Mother's birthday, so I asked someone to send the jade pendant to the palace half a month ago."

Qi Tianlin asked again: "During the years that the jade pendant has been in your hands, do you know if there has been any abnormality with it?"

Seeing the other party shaking his head, Qi Tianlin lowered his head in confusion, staring at the jade pendant, thinking.

How did my mother get this magical jade pendant?

Does the Queen Mother know that this jade pendant can connect to the future world?

Master Hui'an was stunned for a moment, "Your Majesty, it's just a jade pendant, how could it be unusual?"

So far, he is the only one who can see the light of the jade pendant and hear the voice from the other end of the jade pendant.

Qi Tianlin said calmly: "Go out, let me stay here for a while."

Master Huian bowed her head half way, took a few steps back, turned around and walked out.

Qi Tianlin turned around and looked at Guanyin Bodhisattva with a lonely and confused look.

Since childhood, his father has been a god-like figure in his mind.

My father is a martial artist and is devoted to my mother. Although he lives among the common people, he can handle state affairs at any time.

His father is his role model.

All his martial arts were taught by his father.

Why would someone as capable as my father disappear mysteriously?

Was it an accident, or...was he caught in the hands of a bad guy?

His father and mother haven't come back to see him yet, I'm afraid... they've probably already met with great danger.

Unconsciously, Qi Tianlin's eyes were covered with a layer of mist.

When Qi Tianlin adjusted his mood and came out, he just saw Ming Yan flying over and landing on him.

Ming Yan clasped his fists and reported: "Master, the Ministry of Justice has already investigated the identities of more than 100 people in Liaojia Village. Lord Shangguan asked me to come and report to you."

"The deceased were the entire Jia family in Qingzhou, along with a group of servants who protected the house. They were all poisoned to death."

"As for who poisoned him, it is still unclear. Lord Shangguan said that he would investigate the truth as soon as possible."

Qi Tianlin ordered in a normal tone: "I understand. Also, go back and tell Shangguan Fei to send some capable people to Liansheng Temple to investigate a theft case with Master Huian."

"You go back to Liaojia Village to find Shangguan Fei first. I will stay in Liansheng Temple for another night. Qilin will accompany me back tomorrow."

Ming Yan nodded: "Yes, I will go back to find Lord Shangguan right away."

After saying that, he turned around and leaped, using his lightness skills to disappear on the roof of the palace in front of him in an instant.

In the afternoon, Jiayu returned home.

After eating something, I took my notebook and went to her studio.

She contacted her R&D team and held an online meeting.

After everyone arrived, she took a drone from the shelf in the corner of the studio and sat down at the workbench.

While fiddling with the drone, he held a meeting: "Is everyone here? Once everyone is here, I will start talking about the content."

On the other end of the video, Sheng Meng asked excitedly, "Did Qilin get in touch?"

Jiayu said: "Qilin is fine, but...it is shut down indefinitely."

Sheng Meng's lips, which had just risen, fell again. "If everything is fine, why shut it down indefinitely? Is there something wrong with its performance?"

Unable to tell the team that they had accidentally arrived in ancient times, Jiayu could only lie to the team:

"Qilin is a weapon. After various tests, it has been proven to be perfect. I shut it down so that when the doomsday comes, it can bring a glimmer of hope to our country. So, I decided to shut it down and preserve its strength."

Gao Manyu: "No one knows what will happen in the future. It's right to plan ahead. Sister Jia, I support you."

A team member said, "Jia Jie, Qilin is your debut creation after all. You spent a lot of effort developing it. If you don't use it regularly, wouldn't it be a waste? It would be great to let him protect you."

Jiayu didn't look at the screen. He fiddled with the drone and said calmly:

"So, now I want to tell you the second thing. I plan to restart the Phoenix and let the Phoenix replace the Qilin."

Everyone was shocked, especially Sheng Meng.

"Ah? Let the Phoenix replace the Kirin? But the Phoenix is ​​not half as powerful as the Kirin."

"Phoenix and Qilin were developed at the same time. They were made at the same time. Due to a shortage of high-end materials, we had to suspend the development of one of them."

"In the end, everyone chose the Qilin and left the Phoenix behind."

"But Lao Yu, if we want to restart the Phoenix and make it have the same performance as the Qilin, we don't have the materials. And it will take us more than ten years to make these materials."

"However, if we don't develop low-end robots on a large scale for sale, we will have time to continue developing Phoenix..."

Jiayu said: "I have decided to cooperate with the military. In the future, we will produce low-end products for sale openly, and secretly upgrade the country's weapons."

"As for the Phoenix, let's use mid-range materials to finish it off. Although it's only half as powerful as the Qilin, it's enough."

"I will continue to build the Phoenix. You guys can return to the team after you finish the things you have on hand."

"Oh, there's one more thing. Our R&D base will be moved to City A and merged with the military's R&D department. From now on, we will provide the core technology and the military will be responsible for operations."

Everyone agreed and nodded on the other side of the screen.

When the meeting ended, Jiayu instructed one of the team members:

"Yichuan, you are still in the research and development base. I've been very busy recently, so I'm going to go to the base. Please help me mail the box that stores the phoenix to City A for me."

A man on the screen responded, "Well, I'll send it in a moment, but... the equipment is all here at the base. Without it, how can you continue to build the Phoenix?"

Jiayu: "It doesn't matter. I have a studio at home."

The meeting then continued for about ten minutes and then ended.

Jiayu continued to work on the drone...

After an unknown amount of time, she accidentally glanced at it and saw that the jade pendant next to the phone suddenly lit up.

Jiayu curled her lips in delight: "Tian Lin?"

At this moment, on the other side of the jade pendant, Qi Tianlin was sitting cross-legged in the meditation room where his mother had stayed in the past, with a gloomy expression.

When he heard Jiayu's voice, he didn't want Jiayu to notice his depressed mood, so he quickly adjusted his mood.

A gentle voice inquired, "I'm here. Have you eaten? What have you been busy with today?"

Jiayu smiled mysteriously, "Speaking of being busy, I did something related to you today. Do you want to hear about it?"

Something about him?

what's up?

Qi Tianlin was slightly surprised, then he said with interest: "Of course I do. Tell me about it."
