Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 1045: Throwing the Rod
"Miss Xiaohong? Miss Xiaohong?" Shangluo was standing beside the Taiye Lake, holding a food box, shouting as he walked. After shouting for several times but getting no response, he had no choice but to reach into his bag, pull out a fishing rod, and with a whoosh, threw the buoy into the water.

"Who's fishing?" A huge wave rose up, and a huge red dragon head broke through the waves. The huge body of the Taiye Dragon King was revealed in the pool with a depth of no more than 1.6.

As soon as the dragon head appeared, it quickly locked onto the person casting the fishing rod: "Don't you know that it's the fishing moratorium? Fishing is not allowed here!"

"Oh, it's you." She stared at Shangluo and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Next!" Shangluo shook the fishing rod violently and threw the blood sausage tied to the other end of the fishing line into Xiaohong's mouth.

"What is that?" She chewed it and spat out the fishing line.

"Next!" Without waiting for him to finish eating, Shangluo grabbed a handful of blood sausage and threw it forward.

"Ah!" The giant dragon tumbled in the water, and its dragon head grabbed all the blood sausages in the air like lightning.

After taking all of it into his mouth, the dragon roared, "You are making a nest!"

"We cook delicious food at home, please try it."

Before the mist that was shot up into the sky fell, the red dragon that broke through the water surface turned into a red lightning and flashed in front of Shangluo. It grabbed Shangluo's hand and took the food box from him: "Next time, don't throw it around. Call me out directly."

“But when I saw the sacrifices made to the East China Sea, they were all thrown into the sea.”

"How deep is the East China Sea? How deep is this landscape pool? If it sinks to the bottom, it won't taste good."

"You won't eat it if it sinks to the bottom? Are you an ornamental fish?"

"No, but I used to be." Xiao Hong said helplessly, "I still can't control my instincts. I don't want to eat the feed that sinks to the bottom. I think it's not fresh."

"So how does it taste? I heard that dragons love it."

"Taste? Very good."

"So after you eat, you should explain something, right?"

"???" Xiao Hong was stunned for a moment, and handed the blood sausage back, "Then I won't eat it. You want to vomit after eating something from you? I'm not a delicate princess who can be convinced by a meal. It's too early for you to make me explain."

“Suck, suck, suck, suck~~” Shangluo picked up a sausage, patted the white marble railing of Taiye Lake, and shook it in front of her eyes——

"Ah~~" Xiaohong opened her mouth instinctively. When she heard the patting on the railing and the "slurping" sound, she couldn't suppress the desire to eat like a koi in the pond.

Shangluo threw the sausage into her mouth.

"Well, do you think I'm a carp?" She chewed the sausage angrily without any delay.

[Wow, have you been with Zhu Ling for a long time? You can even tame a dragon.]

"Well, bring it here." Xiaohong couldn't resist her instinct after all, and took the food box from Shangluo again. Instead of waiting for Shangluo to tease her again, it's better to feed herself.

"Go ahead." She threw a stick into her mouth. "Eating so much food from your house can't be for nothing. Is there anything you want to ask?" "Have you ever seen the surname of the previous generation?"

"I have seen him." Xiao Hong replied, "He is a middle-aged man who looks very sick and seems to be dying at any time. I am afraid that he will die in my pool. He smells like medicine all over and looks unpalatable."

[I think I heard something incredible... She will eat anything that falls into the pool, right?]

Shangluo took the initiative to ignore this question. After all, the people who threw people into the Taiye Lake were most likely Jinyiwei or other secret agents of the Imperial Palace, and it had nothing to do with them.

"So, is there any interaction between him and the Emperor?"

"Which one are you talking about? This one now? No." Xiao Hong replied, "At least I didn't see it. But if I didn't see it, there would probably be no interaction."

"why?"

"Because if those big shots want to talk about something important, they usually talk about it when they come to Taiye Lake to relax after eating. So I know a lot of things. As long as they talk by the Taiye Lake, I can remember them. But the previous generation's surname and the current emperor have never met each other. He was still the crown prince at that time."

"Where did he get his medicine from?"

"I don't know." Xiao Hong replied, "He probably made the medicine himself. Although the late emperor is cultivating immortality now, I have never seen him make medicine before."

"I see. It seems that he is not ill. Or, the reason he became a Taoist practitioner may be due to some congenital deficiency. But he ate himself so much that he looked sick. I don't think it has anything to do with the court. It is caused by the Dharma he practiced in Nanyang."

"Now that you mention it, I can see it. I've been here for so long, and I don't think I've ever seen anyone eat the golden elixir."

"Because everyone knows that golden elixirs cannot be eaten. But in Nanyang, maybe because the formula is different? Or the way of cultivation is different? At least Guoxing seems to be eating it. This generation of Guoxing is also particularly enthusiastic about refining medicine. He has been sponsoring any business related to refining medicine. I see that his complexion has always been good, and he may have made one step further than his father."

[Wow, it turns out they are the ones who are really making elixirs. ]

"I am more inclined to believe that Jinyiwei's alchemy practice is mainly based on inner elixir. Most of the other elixirs they refine are functional and practical elixirs, rather than golden elixirs that increase cultivation. But in Nanyang, there may be more natural treasures there, so refining golden elixirs can also be tried."

"Do you have any other questions?" Xiaohong asked while eating sausages.

"No more. Thank you."

"Okay then." She put down the food box, took out the plate, tilted her head back and poured all the remaining sausages into her mouth. "Remember to come back next time, and don't forget to feed the fish when you come. Feeding the fish can accumulate merit."

After saying this, she turned into a flash of lightning and returned to the invisible "Dragon Palace" in the Taiye Lake.

[Hey, hey, hey, I thought you wanted to ask where the Dragon Palace is. This pool is only 1 meters deep, and you can't even find where the Dragon Palace is. If the East China Sea deliberately hid the Dragon Palace, you probably wouldn't be able to find it.]

"Will she tell you if you ask her?" Shang Luo shook his head. "You don't know how to fish. To catch a big fish, you have to play a long game. This time when we're dealing with the Dragon Palace, let's first try to see if we can get the location of their hometown directly from the Dragon Palace. If that doesn't work, I'll start with the person at the door. But it's not that simple."

[Indeed. When you first asked her about it, she seemed very reluctant to reveal the secret. Later, when she felt guilty, she was not so willing to tell you. Finally, she relaxed her guard when you asked her something that had nothing to do with her.]

"So, what do you think? This secret seems to be very important to the dragon?"
