Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 1306 - 65: Trusted Sisters and Dire Threats
Tianmen City itself has a long history, but there are very few ancient buildings with hundreds or thousands of years of history, mainly because the land as a river mouth is truly terrible.
Decades ago, before signing a concession with the foreigners, large tracts of land were barren, either meadows or swamp lakes.
After the foreigners came, they thought that with the advanced civil engineering technology of their country’s industrial revolution, they could conquer nature and change the geological landscape, but later found it was more difficult than imagined to develop this broken place.
In the early years, everyone thought the "Unfrozen Port" in the North was very important, as long as the sea didn’t freeze, there was freight capacity, and the economy could be developed.
Later, with the advancement of technology and deeper research in geography, people realized the Unfrozen Port wasn’t as great as imagined, it just didn’t freeze the sea surface, but there’s something on land called the permafrost layer.
This thing is like frozen tofu. Once the water thaws, it’s riddled with holes.
Friends in the South might not understand the disgusting nature of this thing, thinking only Siberia outside the Arctic Circle has the permafrost layer.
Anyway, the German zoo that entered the Soviet Union back then had unforgettable memories of this.
Frozen for half a year is frozen, frozen for a day is also frozen.
The climate in Tianmen isn’t that cold, but the soil structure is indeed so bad that even ancestors didn’t dare to build graves here.
Li Mumu respectfully finished offering three sticks of incense, handed over incense money, and silently prayed for the Empress of Heaven’s blessing.
Empress of Heaven, Heavenly Empress, Mazu are all different titles for the same deity.
Mazu belief has always held an absolutely dominant position in the hearts of Overseas Chinese, even surpassing Buddhist and Taoist sects at times.
As a returning Overseas Chinese, Li Mumu naturally couldn’t escape this custom.
The Tianmen people have an old saying, "First came the Heavenly Empress Palace, then came Tianmen City."
The history of this Heavenly Empress Palace can be traced back to the former dynasty. Although built beside the busiest riverside pier in the city center, there hasn’t been much change over the six or seven hundred years of vicissitudes.
On average, it floods once a year, but the temple hasn’t collapsed, which is very authoritative.
According to the local chronicles of Tianmen City, the Heavenly Empress Palace never had records of collapse or fire, only renovations through various dynasties. In other words, this place hasn’t changed much in seven hundred years.
In case of being swept back in time by a Temporal Tide, just returning here, digging a pit, and burying oneself could bring one back to the present after a nap.
This is the "stupid method" conceived by Shen Qingxi.
"If your method really works, we should already be lying beneath our feet."
Li Mumu tapped the bluestone brick underfoot, somewhat eager to try.
"This is just a solution idea and can’t solve all problems."
Shen Qingxi poured a cold bucket of water on her.
"The premise of this stupid method is based on our ability to retain memory and strength. If we cross again, and our memory is erased, and we don’t remember who we are or how we came, then what?"
That would indeed be a pitiful situation.
This is also what Li Mumu is most worried about.
Surely one could live on, but living like that seems meaningless.
Though this era hasn’t developed mobile phones yet, various entertainment projects are not lacking, with books, newspapers, radio, and movies...
Go back a hundred years, and you want me to play house fighting?
"If it’s that situation, do you have any other solution?"
"Of course, I have a solution, but I don’t appreciate your tone of wanting everything for nothing."
Shen Qingxi snorted coldly: "I’ve been working hard on a startup while coming up with ideas, and you’re happily going to school and dating? Now you ask me if there’s any other method? How do you have the face to even ask?"
"Then what do you want?"
Li Mumu said helplessly: "Do you want me to marry Wang Yunxiao with you standing in the middle?"
"Not impossible."
"Hm?"
"I mean, you also need to contribute."
Shen Qingxi said seriously: "I have a plan, but now I lack a test subject to verify my hypothesis. I just don’t know if you’re willing. If you’re not, no worries, once you leave, I’ll share a bed with your husband..."
"What do you need me to do?"
"Travel through again."
"You have the ability to do this?"
"I’m a genius!"
Li Mumu didn’t have much doubt about Shen Qingxi being a genius.
Since last year, she’s been fiddling with her gigantic machine she calls "Gonggong Engine" on West Spring Mountain.
Gonggong, the one who, after losing a fight with Zhurong, knocked over Buzhou Mountain in anger.
Li Mumu once personally experienced the power of that Gonggong engine starting up, it was truly... astonishing.
It can even cross-dimensional barriers to launch an attack against another world. No one knows how Shen Qingxi managed it.
It’s said if a scholar is absent for three days, they should be viewed with new eyes.
Li Mumu hadn’t returned to West Spring Mountain for a semester, and upon returning, she found that Shen Qingxi’s machine had at least expanded tenfold, looking like a mountain peak from afar.
This has already passed the stage of viewing with new eyes, with Shen Qingxi’s construction speed, Li Mumu doubts that if she stays at school for three more years, she might transform the entire West Spring Mountain into a Warhammer 40K hive.
Shen, the great Sect Hierarch, has an unrivaled talent for innovation.
"So what is the operating principle of this thing?"
"Do you really want to ask such a professional technical question?"
Shen Qingxi’s response left Li Mumu at a loss for words.
