He looked into my eyes and said, "The size of the drawing on the eldest lady is probably able to hold hundreds of library pavilions."

"What?!"

I looked at him in shock. The size of the machine-pack drawn on my mother's drawing could contain the size of hundreds of library pavilions? How big is that? I'm afraid it must be as big as a mountain?

I gasped: "How is that possible?"

Charlin looked at me and said seriously: "I was very surprised when I saw that drawing, but it was true."

I frowned and recalled that when I saw the library a while ago, I was still shocked by the majestic momentum. But who could have thought that the true circle in it was so big, what kind of thing it was? Why did my mother have such a drawing on her hand?

I asked, "So, the original drawing was not a library?"

Chalin nodded and said, "Yes, we just reduced the size based on the design on the drawing, and then made some modifications, and then constructed the library. The real thing on the drawing - at least I can't do it."

My eyebrows frowned: "Has anyone done it?"

Chalin looked at me with a serious look, and after a while, he said, "I don't know."

“…”

"I actually asked the eldest lady about this, but the eldest lady did not give me a clear answer. I just thought - if there was such a drawing, someone would have to draw it if he wanted to do something. Since it had been drawn and even a library can be built, then that thing should have already..."

He didn't finish his words, and I thought that he didn't want to say so much, but I also understood what he meant.

Indeed, the drawings have been drawn, and that thing has been made.

only--

I subconsciously looked out. This small Taoist temple was only the size of a library, not even as tall as that, and could accommodate thousands of library pavilions. What would it look like? If there was such a large library on the earth, it would be a huge monster as big as a mountain. It would be impossible for no one to know it, and it would be even more impossible for no news to be heard.

But I have never heard of anything like this.

Did that thing not be made, or was it hidden in a place we couldn’t see?

What was my mother going to do when she made a drawing like this?

Thinking of this, I looked up at Chalin again and said, "Uncle Shi, did she draw the drawing of my mother herself? What exactly did she want to do?"

Chalin did not answer me immediately, but frowned and thought, probably recalling.

However, it was so many years ago, and it was not so easy to remember. Besides, he was injured and was already in poor spirits. I saw him showing an almost painful expression and his brows were twisted into a bump, and then said, "Forget it, Uncle Shi, you are in poor health now. If you can't remember, don't think about it. Let's wait until you get better."

Chalin did not give up, but instead frowned a little tighter, and he said, "Miss."

"Um?"

"I seem to remember that the eldest lady once said about that drawing."

When I heard this, I immediately became nervous and looked at him: "What did she say?"

"She said—" he hesitated for a moment and said, "That drawing seemed to be taken out from somewhere."

"What?!"

I was really confused at this moment, and I stared at him with wide eyes, and couldn't come back to my senses for a long time.

Take it out secretly.

Isn't that just stealing?

How could my mother steal something?

Seeing my disbelief expression, Chalin said, "This really surprised me. Because I saw the drawing at that time, it was so so sophisticated and the size was definitely not an ordinary object, so I asked her. She did not say that the drawing was originally designed. Although I felt that the eldest lady didn't know very well what the drawing was on before showing it to me, but after I told her a little bit, she seemed to have already known it, but she didn't tell me anything, and I didn't dare to ask more. She just asked the origin of the drawing, and she said - it was taken out secretly from somewhere."

“…”

Isn't that still stealing

I couldn't say anything for a while. My mother, as the eldest lady of the Yan family in Xichuan, always looked quiet and indifferent. She appeared in front of everyone and even left the impression on many people. Such a person could steal things.

Stealing something!

Although I don’t think everyone should be a saint, at least they shouldn’t be a thief, especially her. She is my belief. The existence of an idol like a god and a Buddha, the most perfect person in my mind will steal things. This makes me feel that everything in my heart has been completely subverted. Not only is it difficult to accept, but it is also a little shocking and uneasy.

Chalin looked at my complicated expression and seemed to understand my mood. He said, "Miss, the eldest lady is not a saint, nor is it a god or a Buddha. I, Buddha, and Tathagata, will inevitably be a lion roar."

I glanced at him and smiled awkwardly.

However, when I calmed down again, a puzzle arose in my heart - where did I secretly take it out?

My mother has been to many places in her life, but the place where she can steal things will definitely not be an ordinary place.

If that drawing was really obtained by her using the method of "stealing" like the next five, it would definitely have extraordinary significance. She had to do this. Otherwise, it would be difficult for me to accept that my mother had used things.

Where did you steal it?

I frowned and thought hard, and at this moment, a sentence suddenly flashed through my mind—

"There is no big deal, it's just a few small things - theft, killing."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! That was a few days ago when I asked Ye Yunshuang. After entering the palace, I found out what she said when I checked what happened that year. When I heard the last two words, I was frightened. I followed the situation and asked about the past when the old Taoist was killed, but I ignored the two words in front of her.

Theft.

The palace was once stolen!

As for her mother, she almost left the imperial city to travel west during that time and began her journey. If there was a stolen thing in the imperial city, it would be big or not. Ye Yunshuang could find out what happened decades ago, then the stolen thing was not small, so there would be traces to be found.

Could it be that drawing?

Could it be that the drawing in my mother's hand was brought out from the imperial city?!

Chalin looked at the expression on my face that changed several times in an instant and said softly: "Miss, have you thought of something?"

“…”

I looked at him and it seemed that he should have no knowledge of anything else except the things on the drawing. It is useless to tell him now. Besides, it is just my own guess. So he shook his head and said, "It's nothing. By the way, Uncle Shi, since you have seen that drawing and built a library based on that drawing, can you roughly guess what the drawing was going to make?"

Chalin thought for a while and said, "Miss, something like a Jikuan is different from an ordinary house. When the house is drawn on the drawings, it will look like what it is. But Jikuan is like a person's internal organs and everything is complete, but what the human skin looks like outside depends on the person who paints the skin."

“…”

"I only know that if the mechanical sac is made and painted with a layer of skin, it will be bigger than the mountain behind us."

“…”

"Also, it costs a lot, even if you are as rich as the Yan family, you have to spend all your family property to do so."

I didn't think about anything else when I heard this sentence, but I might be more sure that I had just guessed.

Even the Yan family, which is rich enough to rival a country, had to spend all their property to build such a huge mechanism, including the "painted skin" outside. Perhaps only the court could do it, or if it wanted to make such a thing, the mother stole the drawing from the palace, which might be traceable.

However, if the imperial court really wanted to do such a huge mechanism, it would not be possible to completely cover up the eyes. Ye Yunshuang could even find out theft of this drawing back then. It would be impossible to find out how big it was to build such a big thing.

Hasn't it been repaired yet?

It’s a pity that Chalin couldn’t see what the machine basket looked like after it was built from the drawings. Otherwise, we could at least look around, but now we have no idea.

Just as I was a little depressed and sighed lightly, Chalin suddenly said, "By the way, Miss, when I woke up just now, Chabixing told me that the library had collapsed?"

I said, "Yes."

"Can you tell me the details?"

"sure."

Because it was getting late, Pei Yuanhao might have heard that Chalin would come after a while, so I tried to say it briefly, but I still told him everything that happened that day. After that, I also said, "Fortunately, the fine sand inside suddenly poured out, which saved our lives."

After I finished speaking, Chalin frowned: "Um..."

I looked at his expression and whispered: "What's wrong with Uncle Shi? Is there anything wrong?"

Chalin thought for a while and said, "Miss, you started the mechanical scoop in a hurry and released the fine sand inside. But I remember that when I was looking at that drawing and studying the mechanical scoop operation, there seemed to be a special mechanical trick inside."

"Oh? What special tricks?"
