Chapter 599 Fairy Lake (7)
Is this the important point?
"No."
"Listen to me, this island has abundant mineral resources, and I recently consulted the oracle. I discovered that if the people on this island are not eradicated, they will cause immeasurable damage to my land in the future."
"I know what you mean. You mean to find the people here, kill them all, and then take over their resources, right?"
"Yes."
"I remember." Emperor Wu of Han nodded solemnly. He did not doubt Wangyou's words and was thinking about sending Huo Qubing to wipe out everyone on the island someday.
Although Wangyou's temperament wasn't exactly good, she never killed easily. For her to say something like "cut off the roots," one can imagine the catastrophe that would befall the land of China in the future. It's better to eliminate them before they become too powerful, which would also be a way to avenge His Majesty the First Emperor.
After relieving himself of one worry, he also gave Emperor Wu of Han a gunpowder formula.
"These things can not only be used to set off fireworks, but also to make weapons. As for how far they can be made, that's up to you. I won't interfere."
"Isn't this what those sorcerers used?" Emperor Wu of Han said, looking at the familiar materials on the surface.
"Yes, think about how many palaces those sorcerers destroyed when they were making elixirs. If that could be applied to the battlefield, what do you think the result would be?"
"Understood, I will have someone investigate it immediately." As an ambitious emperor, he understood the matter as soon as he was reminded.
Therefore, the Mohist disciples who had been ordered to be hunted down by Emperor Wu of Han were once again subjected to a large-scale search, but this time it was not to kill them, but to recruit them.
The Mohists, hidden in various places, initially dared not believe it, but after Emperor Wu of Han personally issued an edict, they believed it, and Fei Le was one of them.
However, according to him, there are not many successors of the Mo family left. Now the Grand Master's Token is in his hands, which is the sword that he always carries with him.
This topic is somewhat sad, but it's something Emperor Wu of Han himself had to consider, not something Wang You should be thinking about.
Wangyou rummaged through her personal space and found a world map marked with mineral resources, which she then sent to Emperor Wu of Han.
"These are all marked with the locations of various mineral deposits. Your Majesty, you'd better work hard, or these things will belong to someone else."
"I understand," Emperor Wu of Han replied expressionlessly. Did he not want it? It was just that he had too many things to do and couldn't spare the troops to fight for the time being!
"Don't worry, you won't die young. At least until you have a qualified successor, or until the world is unified, you won't die."
"I can live forever."
"What a pipe dream! At most, I can guarantee you a long life of a hundred years, provided your mind is clear and sharp. But if you become paranoid in your later years, I can't guarantee how long you'll live." Wangyou spoke the most hateful words in the gentlest tone.
"I understand. I will work diligently to be a wise ruler and be remembered for all time."
"Your Majesty, keep going. I'm off now." He vanished again, just as he had appeared before.
Emperor Wu of Han glanced at the world map marked with mineral deposits, then lay down and strained to see them. Iron ore, gold ore, silver ore, copper ore—so many! He had to hurry. What was nickel? And what was titanium? But judging from the small quantity, it must be more precious than gold and silver.
Overjoyed, Emperor Wu of Han summoned Wei Qing and Huo Qubing again. The three of them discussed the matter enthusiastically for three days and finally decided to proceed steadily and first completely subdue the Xiongnu.
While idly strolling around, Wangyou saw the eldest princess dragging the third princess out of Wei Qing's room.
The eldest princess was exasperated. Little Seven was already enough of a headache for them, and now, the third prince had also fallen in love with a mortal. He would come to Wei Qing at the drop of a hat and even ask to be his clothes. The problem was, he hadn't managed to get a single piece of clothing.
Wangyou was laughing so hard she almost died. These princesses were quite amusing. She wondered how the Queen Mother had raised them, making them so innocent and naive.
However, Wangyou felt that the Queen Mother of the West had left these princesses to their own devices and hadn't taught them anything. Otherwise, they wouldn't be unsure whether they had learned magic. This showed that their teachers must not have put in any effort either.
The eldest princess grabbed the third princess's ear again and headed to Xinyu, saying she wanted to keep an eye on Xiao Qi to prevent her from causing trouble.
Through occasional eavesdropping, Wangyou also learned that Xiaoqi was their younger sister, who had been banished to the mortal realm by the Queen Mother for falling in love with a mortal. However, in order to help Xiaoqi return to the Heavenly Court, the princesses went to the Heavenly Book to inquire about how to help Xiaoqi return to Heaven quickly.
The answers given by the Heavenly Book were also laughable: first, there would be no more wars on earth; second, tears would fill Fairy Lake; and third, one would obtain the most powerful force on earth.
First of all, the idea that there will never be war on earth is simply impossible. Even uncivilized small tribes will fight over food and women, let alone other things.
Just like what she read in the book, wars never ceased even in prosperous times, let alone in this era.
Secondly, the tears filled Fairy Lake. What did Fairy Lake do to deserve this? Why would it need to fill the human world with tears? To put it bluntly, isn't it just an attempt to neutralize the resentment in Fairy Lake and prevent her from going back to question the Jade Emperor?
Thirdly, the most powerful force in the world is something even Wangyou doesn't know.
However, she felt that the most powerful force in the world should be the human heart, but she felt that the heavenly book definitely did not refer to that, which made her quite curious.
However, no matter what it is, accomplishing these three points is no easy task. Just the first point alone would take forever to achieve. Unless Emperor Wu of Han unified the world, the wars would never stop.
As for filling Fairy Lake, who would have the time to go to the lakeside and cry?
Upon returning, Wangyou saw that the eldest and third princesses wanted to continue teaching Xiaoqi magic, but this was not an easy task, because Xiaoqi simply couldn't concentrate on learning.
Seeing the two princesses scratching their heads in frustration but unable to bring themselves to do it, Wangyou felt helpless, but she didn't offer to help.
Because she gleaned a piece of information from the conversation between the two princesses: the year she and Xiaoqi were born, the Queen Mother was suddenly seriously injured and returned home, and has been in seclusion ever since.
According to the people of Xinyu County, on the day the two girls were born, two bolts of lightning struck down from the sky, but the Chen family was completely unharmed despite the fierce lightning. So where the lightning struck is a mystery.
However, if the Queen Mother of the West were there, then everything would make sense. But what exactly did the Queen Mother do to be struck by blood lightning? Blood lightning is a form of punishment lightning, the most terrifying kind of lightning tribulation.
