Chapter 169: Thousands of Stars and Thousands of Swords
After more than half a month, Xin Ji drove a speed vehicle across the strait and once again boarded Gasmanda.
An hour later, the Royal City of Teres appeared in front.
The federal government has strong execution power. After signing a treaty with the Qingling tribe, it immediately began to act in accordance with the provisions of the treaty. A transport spacecraft docked on the lake not far from the royal city, and a large amount of building materials were unloaded from the ship and piled up on the clearings on the shore. At that time, the blank land caused by Xiahou Zheng and the main priest of Yinhu was directly utilized. Now it has become a large construction site, and a basic school covering an area of tens of thousands of square meters has taken its form.
The construction site was full of enthusiasm, and tens of thousands of construction robots were working in an orderly manner. They were of different sizes and different uses. They were tirelessly built buildings with different functions under the command of artificial intelligence at a speed that the Qingling people could not imagine.
On the speedway, Xin Ji saw that countless people in Tyres City were looking at the construction site at the foot of the mountain with curiosity.
He laughed silently. With the technology of the Qingling tribe, they didn't even know what the robot was, let alone relying on robot construction. The shock this scene brought to them was self-evident.
The speed in the sky attracted the attention of some Qingling people. A team of horned eagle beast knights flew over and saw Xin Ji sitting in the car, and they dispersed one after another.
A few minutes later, the speeding car landed in front of Queen Qingling's palace. Xin Ji got out of the car and waited, and immediately a guard came in to report.
Not long after, Xin Ji was led into the palace by a queen guard.
In a spacious and bright palace, Xin Ji met Queen Qingling again. This is the place where she handles government affairs on a daily basis. When Xin Ji came in, she smiled and stood up and said, "Welcome, I thought you didn't plan to come back to learn swords."
"I went to deal with other things, so I delayed for half a month, so I let Your Majesty wait for a long time." Xin Ji explained casually. He had just learned basic swordsmanship recently, so there was no need to say it out.
"It's okay, just come."
Queen Qingling did not take it seriously and asked Xin Ji to sit down and the maid brought tea. The two of them greeted each other and talked about the school under construction outside the royal city.
Xin Ji took out the Cicada Wing Folding Sword at the right time and said, "In our federation, my apprentice formally pays homage to the master for the first time. Although I did not worship Your Majesty as my teacher, the gifts must not be missing. This Cicada Wing Folding Sword expresses my feelings. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to learn the sword technique of the Qingling clan and personally teach me the sword technique."
The exquisite hilt of the sword immediately attracted the gaze of the Qingling Queen, but she was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion: "This sword only has the hilt?"
"Your Majesty will know it after a try." Xin Ji smiled without saying a word, and turned the hilt of the sword and handed it to Queen Qingling.
She held it in her hand for a few seconds, weighed it a little, and keenly discovered something hidden in the hilt of the sword. She groped and pressed it gently on the gem at the front of the hilt. With a "clang", nine thin sword blades folded together popped out, and then in the sound of metal collision, the sword blades slid forward one after another, connected back and forth, and finally spliced together, forming a complete sword blade in the blink of an eye!
The silver blade was only slightly thicker than the paper, and it shone with a sharp cold light.
The Queen Qingling's eyes were full of surprise. She held the hilt of the sword with her left hand and pinched the tip of the sword with two fingers with her right hand and bent it. The blade was almost twisted into half a circle, but there was no sign of breaking. She was still very tough. When she loosened her hand, the blade immediately returned to a straight state without any deformation.
"What a good sword!"
Queen Qingling couldn't help but admire her. She had practiced swords for hundreds of years and had used countless swords. They were all high-quality swords made by the best blacksmith of the Qingling clan, but none of them could compare to the cicada-wing sword in front of her!
Whether it is its exquisite appearance, sharpness and toughness, the Cicada Wing Sword is beyond her imagination. What surprised her the most was that the sword was too light. It felt like a branch in her hand and could not feel much weight. Moreover, the blade could be retracted and hidden in the hilt of the sword. It was really magical.
Just a little try, Queen Qingling fell in love with the Cicada Wing Sword. For those who use the sword, there is no better gift than a good sword.
But she didn't accept it immediately and said hesitantly: "Will this gift be too expensive?"
"Your Majesty is too worried." Xin Ji said truthfully: "This cicada-wing sword is not a particularly valuable thing in the Federation. It is of medium value and has a lot of output. Your Majesty accepts it. If you have more contact with the Federation in the future, your Majesty will naturally receive gifts from others, and there are definitely many swords that are better than the cicada-wing sword."
"That's good." Queen Qingling accepted happily.
She took the blade back to the hilt, and the hilt disappeared with her hand.
Xin Ji was very familiar with this scene. Queen Qingling also had a blue sky sapling. Obviously, she was also very skilled in using subspaces.
"Since you have received your gift, let's start learning swords. You can wait a moment."
Queen Qingling stood up and took a thick stack of cloth from the wooden rack on the side of the palace, and returned to Xin Ji to spread it out. This is the silk book used by the Qingling tribe to record sword techniques. Their papermaking technology is very crude, and there is no printing technology, so it is not easy to preserve, so they can only write the text on the weaving cloth.
Xin Ji looked at the bundle of silk books that looked like pillows and felt a little fresh and a little surprised.
This thing can only be sent to museums for exhibition in the Federation as antiques. Usually, you can rarely see physical objects that record information. Most of the information is stored in quantum hard disks and presented through projection technology. Even paper books are rare because the information storage capacity of paper is too small and too backward. If people had not had an inexplicable physical book sentiment, books would have been eliminated long ago.
However, the Qingling tribe did not even have physical books. Writing words on weaving is only a little better than carving them on bamboo slips or oracle bones...
"It makes you laugh."
When Queen Qingling saw Xin Ji's expression, she was immediately embarrassed. She had seen the Federation's mobile phone, and all kinds of magical functions were fascinating. This bundle of silk books really couldn't be taken on the table.
"It's okay, Your Majesty, please continue." Xin Ji said calmly.
Queen Qingling nodded, spread the silk book on the top and spread it on the table, saying, "My clan has many sword techniques, almost all of which are included in the palace's collection. I sent someone to count them a few days ago, and there are more than 10,000 pieces in total. Apart from those incomplete and those sword techniques that have been stored for too long, there are about 4,000 sets left. I have sorted out the strongest and best sets of sword techniques from them, and they have all been placed here."
"Twenty sets of sword techniques!"
Xin Ji looked at the silk book on the table and said in surprise: "Your Majesty has mastered all these sword techniques?"
"How is that possible?" Queen Qingling shook her head and smiled: "I have been practicing sword for four hundred years. Of course, I have mastered more than twenty sword techniques, but only six or seven sword techniques are within these twenty sets, and the level is different. Because of the differences in sword styles, many sword techniques are just a simple taste and have not been practiced in depth."
"Which sword technique is Your Majesty the best at here?" Xin Ji asked.
The Qingling Queen showed a little gloomy face and said reservedly: "Thousand Stars and Ten Thousand Swords."
