274 Heading To The Freezing Cold Sea

The sky was clear for thousands of miles, and the breeze brushed past one’s cheeks, making one feel a little tipsy.

“Daddy, hug!” Zhou Xue, who was sitting in the stroller, stretched out her little hand and called out in her childish voice. Empress Changning was very serious about handling government affairs and had no time to play with Zhou Xue. Therefore, the first thing Zhou Xue did when she saw He Chuan was to ask for a hug to comfort her young heart. He Chuan stepped forward and picked up the little girl. As for Zhou Ming, he seemed to be a little afraid of He Chuan and did not dare to ask his father to carry him.

...

This might be because father and son were not as close as father and daughter.

He carried Zhou Xue to the man-made lake and grabbed a handful of fish food. He stood at the edge with Zhou Xue in his arms and threw the food in his hands into the paste. Soon, a group of colorful koi fish swam over and fought for the delicious food on the lake. “Ge Ge…” Zhou Xue clapped her tiny hands and her two short legs happily kicked around, expressing the joy in her heart. He picked up the remaining food and placed it in the little girl’s hand, wanting her to experience what it was like to feed fish.

Who knew that Zhou Xue would open her small mouth and stuff the fish food into it? This gave He Chuan a fright. He quickly snatched them all and threw them into the river. Zhou Xue looked at her empty chubby hand and pouted her lips, about to burst into tears. He Chuan’s head throbbed with headache. His obedient daughter had the tendency to become a naughty child. What should he do?

“My good daughter, I’ll take you for a walk.” He did not have any experience taking care of children, but he felt that going out to play would make Zhou Xue happier.

He was just about to check on the progress of the steelmaking.

The current Zhou Dynasty’s technology was relatively backward, so He Chuan helped them forge steel.

Only in this way could they resist the countries far away on the other side of the ocean.

He wrapped Zhou Xue in his arms and went to the newly opened steel factory to check.

The blacksmiths and enslaved people kept putting molten iron and waste materials into the vast kiln. The current technology were far behind, and they couldn’t compare with the ones in his previous life.

However, the armors and weapons that could be made using such a forging method were already much more advanced in this era. When the two armies faced each other, the elite troops with superior, tempered weapons and armor would deal a fatal blow to the enemy. Although the process was much worse, the weapons equipped by other countries’ soldiers were definitely not comparable.

Not long after, clanking sounds could be heard as the blacksmiths began to forge armor and weapons according to the drawings. Everything was going according to plan. Now, they just had to wait for the wind and clouds to change.

The carpenters were led by the Minister of Works and began to divide their work. Each made some parts, and when they were done, they mass-produced various required machine parts.

“Quickly add more slaves as soon as possible. Both blacksmiths and carpenters are obviously short of manpower. We don’t lack money now, but we’re short of manpower.” He Chuan felt that the Zhou Dynasty had to speed up its development. Otherwise, it would only be beaten up.

He Chuan walked around twice and left with Zhou Xue after seeing that there were no problems with the blacksmith for the time being.

The little guy was wrapped in a quilt, only showing her little face, curiously looking at the roadside stall.

At his daughter’s request, He Chuan bought a bunch of things. He also didn’t forget to buy toys for his son in the palace.

After all, they were both his children, and he couldn’t favor one over the other.

After staying in the capital for a few days, He Chuan also set out on the road to the sea.

He could feel a very terrifying aura there.

In ancient space.

Gu Mingzhou and the others had reached temporary cooperation and were prepared to look for opportunities together.

This silver-white forest was not very big. Compared to the other forests around it, it could only be considered average, neither big nor small.

However, the silvery-white trees were too big. They reached into the clouds, making it hard to see through the forest. Especially in this gray world where there was no sunlight to begin with, it made the depths of the forest very dark.

Fortunately, this kind of darkness did not hinder Gu Mingzhou, who had adapted to the freezing cold sea.

The group of people did not walk slowly. In just a few breaths, they had already arrived at the forest’s depths.

At the place where everyone had stopped, surrounded by towering trees, there was a giant statue that was dozens of meters tall.

A statue of a fat Taoist priest!

He had a big head and ears, and his face was oily.

With a horsetail whisk in his hand, a sword on his back, and his right hand behind his back, he looked out valiantly.

The entire statue was dozens of meters tall and nearly ten meters wide.

It stood in the middle of the forest like a giant but didn’t lose its spirituality. It was so lifelike that it looked like a genuine spirit!

“This…” Gu Mingzhou was so surprised he couldn’t close his mouth. He reached out and pointed at the tall statue of the Taoist priest.

“This stone statue is the entrance to the immortal’s cave,” Liu Youcheng saw that Gu Mingzhou was surprised, so he smiled and explained.

“The entrance is this stone statue?” Gu Mingzhou asked again in disbelief.

“The stone statue is both the entrance and the location of the opportunity. In other words, the opportunity we are looking for is inside this stone statue.” Liu Youcheng explained, waving his hand.

“A small space?” Gu Mingzhou blurted out.

According to what Liu Youcheng said, if the opportunity left behind was really in this stone statue, then the inside of the stone statue must have its own space.

The stone statue was similar to a qiankun bag, a magic tool with a space inside.

If this stone statue were really a magic tool, then whether it was compared to the qiankun bag, it would be a high-grade magic tool.

After all, even though the qiankun bag also had space, it could not allow living beings to survive.

However, this stone statue was clearly different. The space inside could allow living beings to survive.

Or rather, it could accommodate the existence of living beings.

Just this point alone made it much more valuable than many mustard-type magic tools.

“This isn’t a magic tool with space. Any magic item with space would have a space created inside, with some hollow space. However, this stone statue is solid!” Jing Wudao didn’t wait for Liu Youcheng to speak and directly rejected Gu Mingzhou’s idea.

“Oh? It seems like Brother Wudao is quite familiar with the methods of the small space.” Liu Youcheng, who was just about to speak, heard Jing Wudao’s explanation, and a bright light flashed through his eyes. He revealed some surprise.

“This stone statue is indeed solid. There’s no space inside. It’s also very different from the methods of the small space that we know of. It doesn’t seem like a magic tool with a space.” Liu Youcheng explained.

“Then I wonder why the opportunity is in this stone statue? Could it be that even if this stone statue is solid, but also has its own space?” Gu Mingzhou was even more confused.

“To tell you the truth, although we have studied it, we still haven’t found anything. Does Brother Wudao know the secret of the stone statue?” Liu Youcheng helplessly replied.

Jing Wudao didn’t expect Liu Youcheng to shift the question to him suddenly, and he immediately looked at Gu Mingzhou.

He seemed to be asking Gu Mingzhou if he wanted him to answer.

Gu Mingzhou was also very curious about the stone statue. When he saw Jing Wudao looking at him with a questioning gaze, he immediately agreed.

“If I’m not wrong, this should be an alternate dimension.” Jing Wudao retracted his gaze and looked up at the huge stone statue.
