The ancients watched me play the Starry Sky Railway

"Everyone immediately searched the Industrial and Construction Department, trying to find the source of the power that would allow Black Deer to be reborn."

"But after searching around, we still haven't found any clues."

"Then Master Gongshu suddenly said, 'I have an idea. Would you like to give it a try, little kids?'"

"What does Master Gongshu think?" Walter asked hurriedly. He didn't even have time to care about Master Gongshu calling him a little kid.

"Don't be fooled by his youthful appearance; he's actually a centenarian!"

(In 2014, when the third collapse occurred, Old Yang was 79 years old. The collapse ended in 2018. Old Yang arrived at Xingtie in the post-collapse period, no later than 2030. He can barely be considered a centenarian in good health.)

"Ah? This Walter is already a hundred years old? He doesn't even have a wrinkle on his face! How can he be a hundred years old!"

Ying Zheng was dumbfounded. Thinking about himself, he was only forty-two or forty-three years old, but he already felt like an old man, and his movements were slower than when he was young.

How come Walter is a hundred years old and still acts like a young man!

He can't also be rich in faith... No, he is clearly on the path of pioneering.

Could it be that he is like the people in Xianzhou, whose ancestors were blessed by the God of Plenty, and therefore he is born to be immortal?

Ying Zheng was envious, and he suddenly felt that he wanted to be young.

As he was thinking, he kicked Zhao Gao and said, "Go ask Xu Fu how his research on the elixir formula is going. He has written the formula on the skylight, so he should have some results!"

Ask him to make an elixir of immortality, but it’s either windy or rainy every day. It’s useless!

"Yes, yes, I will order someone to ask right away." Zhao Gao nodded with a flattering look on his face, but he was complaining in his heart.

I’ve only been looking at this recipe for a short time, how could it be possible to produce results so soon!

Even though the research is almost done, the pig dragon has not been caught yet.

But no matter how much he complained, he had to do it. He didn't want to be asked again whether the deer in the sky was a deer or a flower.

…………

"Hmm..." Master Gongshu said, recalling, "I remember when the deer came back to life, the surrounding Jianmu roots were gleaming."

San Yue Qi suddenly realized, "Oh, because Mr. Gongshu was hiding nearby, he could see clearly, right?"

"Hehe." Master Gongshu smiled, not feeling embarrassed at all.

"He's a craftsman, not a soldier, much less a general. How could he possibly be capable of fighting in battle?"

(Ying Xing: You are right.)

"So I think it's not that there's something feeding the Jianmu roots, but rather that all of the Jianmu roots are absorbing the energy emanating from Luofu. How about we try burning every Jianmu root we can find?"

"After hearing his speculation, several people felt it was very likely, so we might as well give it a try."

"Master Gongshu even brought out the energy weapons he painstakingly developed for us to use."

"This weapon is so strange..." Yue Fei frowned, feeling that this weapon would be of no use on the battlefield.

He saw Xing and the others fiddling with the weapon, adjusting the direction, moving it in various positions, and connecting several adapters to the initial energy transmitter before they were finally able to hit the roots of Jianmu... Then the question was, why didn't they aim directly at the roots of Jianmu?

(The planning is not allowed.)

"It's more of a game than a weapon. This weapon... although powerful, I can't imagine spending ages adjusting it on the battlefield only to kill one person."

It’s not as good as a volley of archers!

It would be amazing if you could deflect this weapon at will and sweep across a large area!

…………

"It took them an hour or two to go through the entire Gongzao Division and burn through all the exposed Jianmu roots."

"As I expected, this energy weapon can effectively suppress the resurgence of Jianmu's roots." Master Gongshu stroked his beard, a look of pride on his face. "There's no time to lose. Let's give that stupid deer a good beating before these roots grow back!"

Xing clenched his fists and said, "Let's go deer hunting. Listen to the deer's calls!"

"Is this what the deer's cry means?" Tao Yuanming couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

If he remembered correctly, this sentence came from "The Book of Songs·Xiaoya·Luming". The deer's cry symbolizes harmony and order, and is the ancient people's yearning for an ideal society.

But you... this doesn't seem to be what you meant!

"Xing, Xing, I know you are just a newborn baby, but you must not fall behind in these cultural studies." He couldn't help but admonish her across the sky.

He didn't want Xing, the child he had watched grow up, to leave others with the impression that he was a father-in-law who liked to rummage through trash cans with a baseball bat.

…………

"That's a good idiom, but don't use it next time." Even March 7 couldn't help but complain.

"Pfft, hahahaha! How rare! Even March 7th can crush Xing in culture." Li Bai spit out the wine he had just drunk with laughter.

"The interactions between Xing and Sanyueqi are always so funny, just like two poor students joking with each other."

He clicked his tongue and shook his head. He rarely saw such a poor student in his life. It was quite strange.

…………

"Everyone returned to the Fengzao Black Deer and indeed discovered something amiss."

"The roots wrapped around the Creation Furnace are actually showing signs of withering. The life light surrounding it has almost dissipated at this moment. Even the flowers that just gave birth to the Abundant Black Deer are falling to the ground like frost-bitten eggplants."

"Everyone immediately became excited. All the efforts so far were worth it! As long as we don't stop, the road to Dandingsi will be extended!"

"So, don't stop!"

"Everyone took up their weapons and beat up the Rich Black Deer. They didn't want the Jianmu roots to recover during the fight and then have to burn it all over again."

"This time, the Black Deer of Plenty showed signs of fatigue after only being killed four times."

"Roar!" the Black Deer of Plenty roared, and the tree that had previously borne fruit began to glow with a golden light... It had finally ripened."

"Eh? Are these peaches this big when they're ripe? I kind of want to pick one and try it." March Seven looked at the peach with a bit of greed. She almost forgot what Walter had warned her about the dangers of the fruit.

"Then, as she watched, the deer leaped to the tree and devoured it in one gulp."

"Then, the energy in its body exploded like a balloon!"
