Chapter 916: The Imperial House (5,000 Words Long)
Xia Chujian looked at these flowers and could feel that they were also secretly looking at her.
For example, when she saw a flower as big as a cattail fan, the inner stamens were the color of blood, and she couldn't help but frowned.
And the inner stamens of that flower actually gradually changed color.
When it gradually faded from blood-red to light rose red, Xia Chujian's eyes flickered.
The inner stamens of that flower were instantly fixed in this light rose red color.
It seemed that this was the most beautiful color.
At first, Xia Chujian didn't notice this problem.
But when she walked through the woods and passed by several large flower plants in succession, she found that the color of those petals changed with her mood and eyes, and then she understood.
Xia Chujian became interested and wanted to confirm it.
She stopped in front of a plant surrounded by flowers.
Each flower of this plant is about 20 centimeters in diameter, and there are flowers crowded between the green leaves.
But the color of the flowers is not very good-looking, at least in Xia Chujian's opinion, the colors of these flowers are disordered, the colors are seriously clashing, but they do not achieve a harmonious and unified effect.
Red and light yellow are put together, dark blue and dark green are mixed together, which is not only eye-catching, but can even cause mental damage to people.
Xia Chujian said to herself: "This flower can probably be used as a weapon. Just one look can make the opponent crawl to the ground, and they would rather dig out their own eyes."
As soon as she finished speaking, the petals of the brightly blooming flowers suddenly closed one by one, and then soon there were signs of wilting.
It seems that she was so autistic that she wanted to commit suicide after a few words.
Xia Chujian quickly said: "In fact, the color of the petals does not need to be so complicated."
"These flowers are not big. If the color of the petals is gradual yellow and the stamens are brilliant golden yellow, it must be very beautiful."
Then she stared at the closed petals.
Sure enough, not long after, the closed petals slowly opened one by one in front of her.
The color of the petals also changed from a messy color scheme of bright red, light yellow, dark blue and dark green to a yellow color system from light to dark.
In the end, in the middle of the flower, there was indeed a golden stamen!
And the shape of the stamen even looked like a flying dragon with its head held high!
Xia Chujian praised and said, "This is much better. I will do it this way in the future!"
She spoke to the flowers as if they understood her words.
Qilu's childish voice sounded a little confused: "Master, can these flowers really understand what you say?"
Xia Chujian shrugged: "Who knows? Anyway, they listened to me and changed the color of the petals."
"Otherwise, if those colors are piled together, I'm worried that I will become color blind in a few days."
"I'm also thinking about my health."
Qilu didn't speak for a long time, as if he was thinking about what Xia Chujian meant, or maybe he was checking his database.
Because this was obviously beyond his cognition.
Xia Chujian just strolled casually in the woods.
First, he wanted to see what was in the forest, and second, he wanted to rest for a few more days to recover better.
She didn't even want to fly high to see where she was.
She just wanted to hide in this forest for a while and heal her wounds.
Even though all her wounds had healed, she still felt that her body needed to be healed.
Xia Chujian walked through the woods and soon came to a stream.
The water in this stream was also very clear, but it was not as clear as the pool under the waterfall over there, colorless and transparent.
The stream water here was light green, reflecting the water plants by the stream, a little bit of golden sunlight coming through the gaps in the trees, and the clear blue sky and white clouds.
Xia Chujian stretched out his mechanical arm, probed into the stream, and asked Qilu: "Qilu, how is the quality of the stream water here?"
Qilu quickly said: "Master, the stream water here can also meet the standards of drinking water, but it is far from as pure as the waterfall pool over there."
"There are still some microorganisms in the stream water here, but it does not affect drinking."
Xia Chujian immediately lost interest and said: "Just right, I can use it to wash my mecha, this is reasonable, right?"
Qilu said: "Reasonable! Reasonable! Master, Qilu can switch the top of the master's mechanical arm to a shower head..."
Xia Chujian laughed: "That's great! Switch it for me!"
Then Xia Chujian can absorb water from the stream while spraying it all over her body.
Soon, she washed off the mud on the mecha, and turned on the self-cleaning program on the mecha, and then washed the mecha shell clean.
As for the inside of the mecha, because there is a fully enclosed air self-circulation system and the temperature is constant, it is not dirty.
After cleaning the mecha, Xia Chujian adjusted the color of the mecha shell to the environmental adaptation color.
This color adjustment function can adjust the color of the mecha to match the surrounding environment according to the changes in the surrounding environment.
As we all know, this is the knowledge and skills that humans have learned from the epidermis function of geckos.
Xia Chujian didn't want to be invisible, but the current second-generation mecha's stealth function still cannot touch obstacles.
Once it touches an obstacle, the stealth effect will fail.
The trees and flowers in this forest are so lush that no matter how careful she is, she will touch the flowers and plants.
Therefore, there is no need to turn on the stealth function.
Xia Chujian walked in the forest like this.
Qilu turned on the radar detection function for her and guided her along the way.
Xia Chujian avoided any place where there seemed to be huge beasts.
In her current situation, she doesn't want to fight anyone.
Moreover, she didn't even know where this place was. If she used a sniper hastily, she would alert the enemy.
At this time, she remembered the dagger she carried with her.
Finally it's time to use cold weapons.
Xia Chujian sighed and looked forward.
Qilu showed her a three-dimensional map of the surrounding ten miles on the display screen of her eyepiece.
Only then did she realize that her location was actually at the very edge of this huge forest.
Just walk about a hundred meters further north and you'll be out of the forest.
But in any direction to the south, east or west, the scope of the forest extends beyond at least ten miles.
Because of the mecha's radar system, it can detect a distance of about ten miles at most in this place.
Xia Chujian didn't know where the north was and didn't dare to go out for the time being.
She would rather stay in this forest for the time being and wait for her body to fully recover.
So she turned around and headed south, deeper into the forest.
She drove the mecha quickly through the forest.
I flew south for at least a thousand kilometers, but still couldn't see the end.
However, the temperature has not dropped, and has always been a relatively comfortable temperature of more than 20 degrees.
Xia Chujian said to Qilu: "The temperature in this forest is much stronger than that of the Alien Beast Forest."
There is ice and snow in the Alien Beast Forest, and it gets colder as you go north.
It can even reach temperatures as low as absolute zero.
In contrast, Xia Chujian felt that it would be very comfortable to stay in this forest for a few days.
Qilu said: "Master, are you sure you want to live in the forest and not go out?"
Xia Chujian said: "I am determined to live in the forest temporarily. I will wait a few days and become familiar with the situation here before going out."
Qilu said: "Does the master want to build a small house using the emperor's tree?"
Xia Chujian: "...What words are you talking about? I seem to be familiar with every word, but I just can't understand it."
Qilu said: "Emperor is the emperor's emperor, house is the house of the house. Tree is the tree of the trees."
Xia Chujian was surprised: "Is there a tree named Emperor's House?"
Qilu praised and said: "Yes, there is such a tree in Qilu's database. Qilu just found this kind of tree in this forest."
"This kind of tree is very, very rare. The owner is really lucky!"
Xia Chujian said: "Do we have such a tree in the Beichen Galaxy?"
Qilu said: "Probably not. Because even in Qilu's database, this kind of tree has become extinct in ancient times."
Xia Chujian was very surprised: "How come trees that have become extinct in ancient times are still here?"
"Is the Green Star so magical?"
Qilu said: "Anyway, it is consistent with the picture in the Qilu database. But this is not necessarily a green star."
With that said, it displayed the picture on Xia Chujian's eyepiece display.
Xia Chu was amazed when he saw it.
It's not so much a tree as it is a small house.
A tree that grows directly into a house.
Xia Chujian said: "...Why is it called the Imperial House? This house looks very ordinary, right?"
It looks similar to the cabin where hunters live in the Alien Beast Forest outside the city of Mulan on the Faraway Planet.
Qilu said: "According to Qilu's database records, in ancient times, humans were just cave-dwelling animals living in the wild."
"Later, a strange tree appeared on the ground, and it looked like this when it grew up."
"After being discovered by humans, I felt that living inside was more comfortable than living directly in a cave or in the open wilderness."
"And the first person to discover this kind of tree is said to be called Di Jun."
"So everyone named this kind of tree the Imperial House."
Xia Chujian was amazed and said, "Where is that kind of tree?"
Qilu said: "We have now passed the location of that tree. If we want to find that tree, we have to walk about 500 kilometers north."
Then it's back to where they started.
Xia Chujian said: "That time, apart from some strange flowers and plants, I didn't see anything else along the way."
Qilu was silent for a while and asked: "When the master mentioned other things, did he mean food?"
Xia Chujian smiled and said, "Qilu, you are getting smarter and smarter."
Qilu's childish voice showed a little bit of pride: "It's good that the master knows! Qilu is very smart to begin with!"
Xia Chujian said: "Did Qilu notice that there is something I like to eat here?"
Qilu said: "There is wild Zhuyu rice here that has been extinct in ancient times. Just one grain, steamed and eaten, can last for a month."
"As for meat, there are fish in the water and animals on the ground, but I don't know if they are as delicious as wild rhino pigs."
Xia Chujian said: "Qilu, you really understand me very well!"
"Then let's go back and check out the imperial house first?"
Qilu pointed out the coordinate location to Xia Chujian.
She flew all the way, and soon flew 500 kilometers north to a relatively open grassland.
Just beside the meadow, on the other side of the stream, she saw a small cabin.
A small wooden house that Qilu had shown her.
Although he had already seen it once in pictures, Xia Chu was still eye-opening when he saw the real thing and said, "This thing really looks like the cabin in the Alien Beast Forest!"
The appearance and size are similar.
However, the small wooden house in the Alien Beast Forest has no leaves on the roof and no big trees on the side of the house. It is just a single house.
As for this imperial house, the roof is covered with green leaves, and there is a big tree on the side of the house!
The big tree on the side of the house is closely connected to the wall of the imperial house, just like the chimney of the fireplace.
This imperial house even has a straw curtain hanging at the door, like a door.
Xia Chujian was secretly amazed and even used the camera on his eyepiece to take pictures of everything.
"Qilu, are there any other animals in this emperor's house?"
Xia Chujian carefully turned on the far-infrared detection system and wanted to take a look first.
Unexpectedly, this imperial house can actually block her far-infrared detection!
Qilu also said: "Master, Qilu cannot detect the situation inside the emperor's house."
Xia Chujian thought for a while and said, "Then let me knock on the door."
Qilu: "..."
It didn't speak.
When Xia Chu saw it, he took it as his acquiescence.
Step by step, he walked to the straw curtain of the emperor's house and patted the straw curtain gently with his hand, making a snapping sound, as if knocking on the door.
Xia Chujian said: "Is there anyone inside?"
"I came here by mistake and want to stay in Guibao for a few days. Can it be convenient?"
Xia Chujian waited for a while, but no one spoke inside.
She boldly opened the straw curtain and turned on the search light on the mecha's helmet.
The situation inside the emperor's house was immediately clear.
There was no one inside, but when the light of the search light came on, Xia Chujian vaguely saw several huge white tails flashing past.
When she took a closer look, there was still nothing inside.
There is no huge white tail.
Xia Chujian blinked, thinking he was dazzled.
She stepped in.
At this time, it was almost noon outside, and the temperature was rising.
Xia Chujian was wearing a fully enclosed mecha. Although he couldn't feel the temperature outside, as soon as he stepped into a place with different temperatures, the sensors on the mecha immediately marked different temperatures.
"Outdoor temperature: twenty-nine degrees."
"Indoor temperature: nineteen degrees."
Separated by a curtain, the temperature can differ by as much as ten degrees.
Combined with what he just discovered, this Imperial House can isolate far-infrared detection, Xia Chujian really felt that this Imperial House was extraordinary.
She turned on the life detector of Shao Siming's mecha again to check if there were any hidden life forms here.
Qilu checked very carefully.
Three minutes later, Qilu said: "Master, there is indeed no living life form here."
"But three minutes and ten seconds ago, it seemed that a very powerful life form left here."
"Qilu cannot detect specific data, and can only make inferences through the changes in the magnetic field after it leaves."
"However, there is a chance that the inference will be wrong. Master can use it as a reference."
Xia Chujian nodded subconsciously.
She remembered the huge white tail she saw flashing past her eyes when she first stepped into the Imperial House.
The "powerful life form" Qilu mentioned must be that thing, right?
That thing left after she came in, probably because it didn't want to deal with her.
In this case, Xia Chujian didn't care.
Because this also shows that the other party is not hostile and gave this place to her.
She was the one taking advantage, so why should she be aggressive?
Xia Chujian even planned to leave some compensation to the other party when she left the forest, which would be considered as the rent for living in the other party's house.
And thinking that there were living beings living here before her, she felt even more at ease.
At least it shows that it is safe to live here.
If such an imperial house was in the forest and no living being had ever lived there, she might not dare to actually live in it.
She is most afraid of invisible things, such as ghosts, souls, etc...
Xia Chujian suppressed the uneasiness in her heart, looked around the imperial house, and said, "Qilu, we have to cut down a few more trees to make a bed."
"In the center of the house, we need to make a hanging stove, light a fire underneath, and get a stone slab so that we can cook and fry."
Food is the most important thing for the people, so Xia Chu saw that there was no nutrient solution to satisfy his hunger, so these cooking utensils had to be prepared.
Qilu's childish voice was a little excited and said: "Master, Qilu just detected it!"
"There are many plants here that were extinct in ancient times or ancient times!"
"There are several types of wood, all suitable for making beds!"
"The stone slab can be used for frying. There is a mountain nearby with a high jade content. It should be Langgan Qingbi!"
"Get a piece of it and make it into Teppanyaki, absolutely no problem!"
“The hill behind the Imperial House also has a high content of stone and pottery.”
"Just dig out a few pieces and you can make a deep pot for stewing or frying."
"Beside the back mountain, there is a hot spring!"
"Master, if you want to soak your feet, you can go to that hot spring!"
Xia Chu heard this and licked his lips and said, "Don't use the same pot for stewing and frying. Let's get two deep stone pots."
Qilu said: "Good master! It doesn't matter how many you make! The content of stone pottery in the back mountain is too high!"
Xia Chujian said: "But if we want to fry it, where can we get the oil?"
Qilu said without hesitation: "There are fat-rich animals here. Kill one and you can refine the oil."
"If you don't eat animal oil, there are also plants rich in oil here. Just pound it with a stone pestle and you can get the oil!"
Xia Chujian clicked her tongue: "...Is the oil made like this safe?"
Qi Lu said: "Why is it unsafe? This is called 'ancient oil refining'!"
Xia Chujian: "..."
Seeing Qi Lu's arrangement was in good order, Xia Chujian said no more.
According to Qi Lu's instructions, she first went to the mountain rich in jade bi about three miles away.
The mountain was not high, but the mountain was bright and crystal, and there was a little bit of oily luster.
Even if Xia Chujian was not a jade expert, she could see the value of this mountain.
But she loved gold the most, so when she saw this jade bi mountain, she was just curious and emotional, and had no intention of taking it for herself.
She raised the mechanical arm, switched the top to a drill, and cut a half-meter long and thirty-centimeter wide jade bi from the jade bi mountain.
According to Qi Lu, the jade bi is called Langgan Qingbi, which is particularly resistant to high temperature and corrosion.
It is indeed a good plate for teppanyaki.
There is only one update today, but it has 5,000 words, which is more than the double update of other books!
