The expedition ship carries more than ten white rats. These white rats need to participate in a large number of scientific research experiments, including some more dangerous escape experiments, which are quite important for the expedition ship.In particular, spaceships are no better than ships in the Age of Discovery. If a white rat escapes and chews something, a serious accident is likely to occur. Therefore, if a white rat really disappears, it must be found no matter what.

"Impossible. I have asked all the researchers and no one has touched the white rats." Nicks frowned: "I also checked the monitoring. Except for the time when we encountered the storm, the monitoring was affected due to some interference factors. Except for certain interference, James was the only one who came into contact with those rats at other times."

At this time, the researcher named James also ran in and excitedly explained to Winters that the two white rats had indeed suddenly disappeared, but he didn't care about him.

Obviously, James usually endured a lot of the Knicks' anger, but he finally couldn't control it at this time, and the two started arguing directly in front of Winters.

The quarrel quickly developed into a situation where the two of them were blaming each other. Winters felt his brain was swelling and interrupted loudly: "Okay, I will wait until I investigate the specific responsibilities. The most important thing now is to Find those two white rats."

As soon as he finished speaking, the doorbell rang again, and then the boatswain of the ship came in. He glanced at Nick and James, who were obviously blushing and thick-necked, with some surprise, and then saluted Winters. Said: "Captain, Solqin is missing!"

"Disappeared?" Winters was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously confirmed that the crew was not a blank slate, especially since a river-class destroyer was so big and was in a completely sealed environment. How could it disappear without any reason?

"Yes, he is not at his post, nor in the rest cabin. I have asked people to check all the cabins, but there is no trace of him."

This is obviously a more serious incident than the loss of a white mouse. After all, this is a living crew member who cannot disappear out of thin air in any case.

These two things immediately became the top priority on the ship. Winters quickly issued an order to summon all the ships to return to combat readiness. The ship began to count the number of people on the ship. At the same time, manpower was mobilized to start searching for the missing crew members, but the entire Mexican The exploration and experiment ship Genhe searched all over, but still couldn't find anyone.

The missing Solchin is an optimistic young man who is responsible for the maintenance of the cabin's electrical system. He always has a smile on his face and has good relationships with many people.At dinner that day, everyone's face was covered with a layer of gloom, and they discussed with each other what happened on the ship.

Nearly five hours passed, and neither Solchin nor the two missing white rats found any clues.

"Could it be that he was sucked out of the cabin during the storm?" In the main control cabin, Winters asked the boatswain with a frown.

"No, he was still there during the maintenance after the storm. He was with Gu Jingtao. Many people confirmed that they saw him at dinner last night."

"When did you first notice that someone was missing?"

"At noon today, no one saw him during lunch. After that, he didn't show up at his post, so someone informed me..."

Chapter 396 Spirit Body

"Have you seen the surveillance video?"

"I have seen it, but it was not found on the surveillance. In addition, our surveillance is not all turned on."

Winters frowned. He also knew that although the test ship was equipped with a large number of detectors and monitoring devices, the internal monitoring was generally turned on 24 hours a day for privacy, necessity, economy, etc. Only some key cabins are monitored. Monitoring of many locations such as passages, personal cabins, bathrooms, etc. is only turned on when necessary and is closed most of the time.

"After dinner, arrange to continue searching carefully. In addition, from now on, all internal monitoring will be turned on." Winters frowned.He had some worries in his heart. After all, the void area where the exploration ship was currently sailing was an area that humans had never set foot in before, and he was afraid that there might be some unknown danger here.

"How much time is left until we reach the preset jump position?" He turned to ask the navigator.Navigating in subspace is still a journey full of uncertainties for current human technology.

According to current observations, some physical laws in subspace are not exactly the same as those in the real world, and they do not even completely correspond to time.After the ship enters subspace, it is equivalent to entering a space that is separated from linear time, and then drives the ship to a relative position, and then returns to linear space.

The time in this space is slower than the time in the real world, and it is similar to a randomly flowing liquid, and there is no stable speed for navigation.Due to the effect of subspace tides, after a spacecraft enters subspace, it is usually carried by the turbulent energy tide and moves forward at a speed far exceeding that of the normal universe.

To give an inappropriate example, the relationship between void and normal space can be thought of as land and a river running parallel to it.With the current human technology, the spacecraft cannot observe the state of normal space in the void. This also means that the position of the spacecraft after it jumps back to normal space seems to have a great element of luck.

However, this is not absolute. If it is really purely a matter of luck, then humans will not dare to send out an exploration ship like the Mergen River.Based on certain technologies that also come from alien spacecraft, as well as conjectures put forward by some scholars about the existence and positioning of the subspace world, humans can initially use certain mathematical methods to vaguely calculate the position of the spacecraft in subspace relative to the normal universe. The approximate positioning, although this positioning is currently extremely imprecise and easily affected by too many factors, at least it is not a true blind man feeling the elephant.

In order to carry out this extremely complex and professional calculation, the spacecraft is equipped with a dedicated "navigator".

The supporting technology is that after the spacecraft reaches a specific target location, it can set a semi-permanent beacon. This beacon can help subsequent spacecraft locate in the void and go to the target location.

"At the current speed, it will take about 46 hours." The pilot replied immediately, obviously well prepared for this question.

"Recalculate and find a closer jump point. After returning to the normal universe, we need to conduct a system check on the ship."

"Yes, Captain, I will start calculating immediately." The navigator nodded.

承和37年西历2016年3月10日22:13临州云山坊张宅

A stick of sandalwood was burning in the quiet room, and smoke was rising. Zhang Jing was sitting cross-legged on a large Zen chair.

Outside the quiet room, the weather is sunny, the moonlight is bright in the sky, and there are occasional thin clouds floating in the sky. The air is cold. The temperature is low this year. Even in the south in March, the temperature has not yet increased.

Since entering the third level, a more mysterious transformation began to take place in Zhang Jing's body. Not only did his connection with the void become closer and more harmonious, but an even more dramatic change was that his powerful body began to feed back his spirit. As a result, greater changes are taking place at certain levels that are unseen by the naked eye.

At this moment, with the operation of the secret method, Zhang Jing's entire spirit was unprecedentedly condensed. In the seemingly calm quiet room, Zhang Jing's spiritual level was undergoing some kind of storm-like changes.

Suddenly, a large number of instruments in the quiet room began to move automatically without wind, as if there was an invisible wind generated in the room. The calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall began to swing rhythmically, and the long sword on the sword stand beside it was lit with sandalwood. The copper incense burners all vibrated at the same moment, making a buzzing sound...

On the courtyard wall outside the quiet room, a wild cat that happened to be passing by seemed to feel something. It let out a frightened cry, jumped up like exploding hair, and jumped into the night.

After a while, the quiet room became quiet again, with smoke curling up, as if nothing had happened.

On a level invisible to the naked eye, Zhang Jing was standing in the middle of the quiet room, looking at his physical body.

He currently exists in a form similar to a spirit body.In some classics, his current state is called "Yin Shen".

This is the first time Zhang Jing has entered this state. As his cultivation level improves, the practitioner's spirit becomes strong enough to be able to exist alone after being separated from the protection of the physical body.This separate mental state is called the "soul body" in some classics and the "spirit body" or "astral body" in other classics...

However, at this time, the soul body still has various taboos after being separated from the body. The biggest taboo is that it cannot move in the sun.The warm sunlight that seems to ordinary people is like a huge flame to a spirit body. Once it is touched, it will be burned, and even a small touch will cause great harm.

In addition, natural phenomena such as thunder and lightning can also cause great damage to the out-of-body spirit. Because of this, the third level of Tianzun Realm is called "Night Tour".In many classics, monks in this realm are not encouraged to frequently travel out of the body at night, because this will cause unpredictable risks.

Zhang Jing was standing in the quiet room at this time. Being in a spiritual state was a rather strange experience. The sense of physical existence disappeared, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of insecurity in his heart.The field of vision has changed from the previous binocular vision to omnidirectional. There is no difference between front, back, left, right, up and down. The soul body can notice movements from any direction at the same time.

As soon as he thought about it, he had already walked out of the wall and appeared outside. Obviously, the obstacle of the wall was meaningless to him at this time.

Chapter 397 Night Tour

The breeze outside blew against my body, making me feel slightly cold.Obviously, Zhang Jing, who had just mastered the skills of night swimming, was still relatively weak and could not withstand too much external stimulation.

Zhang Jing noticed that in the state of the soul body, all the surrounding environment and scenery changed differently from usual, becoming chaotic and secretive, full of indescribable meanings.

As a soul, he has a keener sense of the world than usual.

The essence of the world began to become more intuitively displayed in front of him. Zhang Jing could clearly feel that the world and the void were one and the same. Even if he peeked further, there was a lower essence...

There seemed to be some kind of voice encouraging him, inviting him to uncover the mysteries of this world and explore the more essential level...

However, Zhang Jing did not dare to delve too deeply into the secrets of the world. Both Fazang and Zhang Taihe had repeatedly reminded him that there were many unpredictable risks in peering too much into the bottom of the world while wandering at night. Even the soul itself is at risk of getting lost.

That’s it for today…

With a conclusion in mind, Zhang Jing's thoughts changed and he had reappeared inside the quiet room. The next moment, Zhang Jing's body on the Zen chair opened his eyes again...

6:55 Puji Palace Lake View Pavilion

Xiaodong Lake is a lake with an area of ​​about one square kilometer, located in the Puji Palace of the capital.It is also a scenic spot that most people in the capital know. Due to its nature of receiving royal guests, it is not open to the public on weekdays except for occasional holidays.

Guanhu Pavilion is located on the west side of Xiaodong Lake. It is said that when Emperor Taizu was in power, he often came here to discuss mysteries with Patriarch Kunwu because he loved the scenery here.To this day, the imperial plaque hanging on the pavilion is still inscribed by Emperor Taizu himself.Of course, the ones hanging now are only imitations, while the authentic ones are properly collected by Puji Palace.

It is said to be a pavilion. In fact, the Lake View Pavilion is a waterfront pavilion with a two-story pavilion building with carved beams and copper tiles, plus a surrounding viewing platform that extends to the water. The platform is paved with precious wood. The entire building has unique features both inside and outside. A dedicated person is responsible for cleaning and maintenance.

....................................

It was early in the morning, and on weekdays, it was the time for cleaning and sweeping here.However, at this moment, there were no cleaning staff, only two people in Taoist costumes wandering back and forth on the viewing platform.

The two of them observed each other back and forth for a while, gesticulating, arguing, looking at gestures, and from time to time gesturing to a certain location or a certain distance on the platform.

"Brother, do you really want to move here?" The person who spoke was a short and stocky Taoist priest with a simple and honest face. He was looking thoughtfully at the floor on the waterside side of the viewing platform.

"This is the place, it's more suitable." Standing next to him was a fair-faced, middle-aged Taoist priest with a long beard and a temperament like a scribe.Anyone who is familiar with the personnel in Puji Palace will know at a glance that this is Zhou Shiguan, a close disciple of the abbot Dexuan Zhenren.

"This viewing platform has not undergone major renovations since it was overhauled 30 years ago. Although the large Nanyang wood used is corrosion-resistant and wear-resistant, after all, it is near the water, and weathering and insect infestation are inevitable. You see , the few pieces there are already shaking a bit..." He stretched out his hand to stroke his beard and pursed his lips at the ground beside him.

"Indeed, I remember that Senior Brother Yu mentioned it before, hoping that Guanli would do a major maintenance on the wooden structure of Guanhu Pavilion. However, it is difficult to find good quality wood. After all, nowadays, it is not as good as it was a hundred years ago, and quality Nanyang trees have long been available. After all the wood has been cut down, even if there is any leftovers, they are reluctant to sell them at a high price. There is no possibility of replacing them with new materials from the Black Continent. All this time has been dragged down..." The short and sturdy Taoist priest said thoughtfully, in his mouth Senior Brother Yu is the head cleaner of the temple. On weekdays, he is responsible for the cleaning and some logistical chores in the temple.

"Yes, so it is safest to move here. Just saw it secretly and make it hidden. It will look like the wood has been decayed for a long time and cannot withstand the heavy pressure... Even if someone steps on it and breaks the wood, One piece or a few pieces, it was an accident, and you can't blame others..." Zhou Shiguan narrowed his eyes slightly and said slowly: "Even if we have to be held responsible afterwards, it is at best due to neglect of maintenance and disrepair."

The short and sturdy Taoist priest heard the words and looked at the surrounding lake. At this time, the lake was still covered with thin ice, and there was a bleak winter atmosphere around him.He pondered for a while and said: "It's just that the weather in the capital is cold this year, and Abbot Li is from the south. He is old. If he suddenly falls into the water, he may be seriously ill..."

"Haha, isn't it said that their Yunxiao lineage is suspected of possessing magical powers and secrets... If they can't even cope with a mere accident, it naturally means that Abbot Li is not good at learning. Even the nobles in the palace will not be too concerned about such things. I don't care..." Zhou Shiguan said, and glanced at the short Taoist priest: "Junior Brother Qian, this matter was also ordered by the noble man, and it is not my personal matter. I know that you have always had your own opinion, and you also have your own ideas."

This short and stocky Taoist priest whom he calls "Junior Brother Qian" is Zhou Shiguan's junior brother Qian Shijin. This junior brother has a somewhat special status in the temple. The reason is very simple. Probably because he became a monk halfway, so He entered the school through the relationship of a certain internal official, and behind him, there is a high probability that there is the shadow of the internal government Luan Yisi. For this, the senior officials of Puji Palace are well aware of this. After all, Puji Palace is the royal family. There is no room for negligence in the security of the family temple.

Disciples like Qian Shijin who have been installed are already on the bright side, and there must be hidden secrets. However, that is not something that the Taoist priests of Puji Palace can see through, and there is no need to look into it in detail.

"You and I come from the same sect, so we should take matters into our own hands...Although Yunxiao Mountain has been in the limelight recently, it is in the south after all, and some rumors are not true...At the feet of the emperor, if it has a reputation, Wouldn't this move damage the reputation of our Xuanmen..." Zhou Shiguan said quite sincerely, especially the emphasis on "teachers from the same sect".

In fact, the senior officials of Puji Palace did not guess wrong. Qian Shijin was indeed tasked with being a spy for the inner government.But for Qian Shijin, even so, in terms of status, after all, he is still a disciple of Dexuan Zhenren. From this perspective, Puji Palace and he do have a relationship of honor and disgrace. If the Puji Palace lineage is lost, The Holy Family is of no benefit to them either.After all, he was nearly forty years old and spent his youth in Puji Palace. He was already a member of the same boat.In fact, all the time, he has been giving mostly flattering reports to the inner government's Luan Yisi. Such stupid things like eating and smashing the pot are definitely not done by smart people.

Chapter 398 Ghost Conspiracy

He was actually clear about the mission Puji Palace had taken on this time, and had received instructions from other channels, asking him to pay attention to how Puji Palace was preparing to "test" the authenticity of Abbot Li. As a result, Zhou Shiguan Instead, he was directly responsible for participating, which also saved him a lot of effort.

Of course, he is also aware of the tacit understanding here. He naturally knows his identity, and most of the time he will see through it without saying anything. And this time, pulling himself together is also a kind of safety. If he refuses to allow it, The senior brother will naturally give up this plan.

But...why give up?As senior brother Zhou Shiguan said, this Yunxiao Mountain has become increasingly popular recently, which may not be a good thing for Puji Palace or even himself.Suppressing it is actually in his own interests... As for Abbot Li, if he fell into the water and got sick... Fusheng Infinite Heavenly Lord, then it is naturally because Abbot Li's cultivation is not enough!Isn't this a test?

After all, although the capital is deep, the pool is only so big. If Yunxiaoshan's entry into the capital this time really catches the eye of the nobles and establishes a firm foothold, it is impossible to say that some resources will be taken away from the basket of Puji Palace. , this is naturally something that everyone in Puji Palace is not willing to see.

"Senior brother is right. It is related to the reputation of Xuanmen. We cannot be careless. If we are truly an expert, we can turn disaster into good fortune. If we are someone who deceives the world and steals our reputation, it will only tarnish the name of Mr. Xiao... Qian Shijin said, with a hint of solemnity on his honest face.

"It's just that if you do it this way, then some steps need to be modified..." Qian Shijin stretched out his hand and gestured on the wooden board: "For example, it is not suitable to use a saw when doing it. The marks are too obvious and it is easy to be caught afterwards. Handle, I know there is a liquid that can corrode wood. It will evaporate naturally within a day or so after application, leaving no trace. I can be responsible for getting it..."

承和37年西历2016年3月11日11:15临州云山坊张宅

Zhang Jing was sitting in the yard, basking in the sun, holding a wishing book in his hand and looking over it. Lying on his lap was a small puppy with tiger-spotted fur. At this time, he was lying comfortably on Zhang Jing's lap, holding himself The plump body was spread out, and a fleshy little tail swayed from time to time, making it look very comfortable.

Zhang Jing's left hand stroked the puppy's back rhythmically. Apparently, Zhang Jing's strokes made the puppy feel extremely comfortable. It made a purring sound in its throat and even closed its eyes, looking like it was about to fall asleep. .

After rubbing it for a while, Zhang Jing held its belly and put it on the ground aside. The puppy seemed a little lost after landing, and got up in confusion. He looked around, moved his short legs, and came to Beside Zhang Jing's feet, he whined and waggled his tail rapidly at him, as if to please his master to continue stroking him.

However, Zhang Jing did not follow its wishes. He just patted it on the head twice and continued to bask in the sun without paying any attention to it.

The puppy was a little disappointed, but soon his attention was attracted by a lizard crawling by, and he ran over...

This puppy is the pet dog adopted by Zhang Jingxin. Zhang Jing meaningfully named it "Xiaotian".The puppy looked quite healthy at this time. After Zhang Jing's observation, its originally deformed spine was not a real deformity, but a problem caused by the disordered accumulation of Yuan Qi in the body. Zhang Jing found a solution to this kind of problem in the Dharma Tibet. It only needs proper guidance and sorting out to alleviate or even completely solve it.

This also makes Zhang Jing take time to "pet" the dog for a while every day, mainly to dredge the Qi pulse and clean up the affected areas. Of course, this process every day is the most enjoyable time for the dog. After a few days, Xiaotian also It has become very familiar with Zhang Jing. As long as Zhang Jing is at home, it will follow him wherever he goes.

Zhang Jing already has a complete set of ideas for the cultivation of "Xiaotian", but the dog is still too young and has not yet been weaned, so all this will be postponed for a while and will be discussed after weaning.

"Special incident: On the night of March 2016, 3, you were attacked by the demon Fin Wei while living and dining by the Linzhou River. In this incident, you killed Fin Wei with a flying sword and calmed the deterioration of the situation. The attack caused damage to Jiangpanju's houses and casualties. After the incident, it attracted the attention of relevant departments, and special personnel arrived to calm the situation.

When the incident occurred, Tang Meimei, the owner of the "FreeLiving" platform UP, broadcast part of the incident live. The live broadcast expanded to a certain range and attracted attention in a small area.

When the incident occurred, citizen Wang Ming filmed part of the scene and uploaded it to his Qianluo Moments and multiple Qianluo groups, which attracted attention in a small area.

When the incident occurred, citizen Zheng Haibo filmed part of the scene and forwarded it to his blog, which attracted attention on a small scale.

When the incident occurred, citizen Li Jiayi forwarded it to his Qianluo circle of friends and attracted attention in a small area.

..............................

………………

This event caused a weak disturbance in the underlying consciousness of the world, which is still expanding.

A total of 32195 wishing points were added. "

Zhang Jing checked the newly added entries on the wish book. As expected, the incident that night attracted a certain amount of attention. What he didn't expect was that many of the people who were fleeing were secretly photographed. They posted the video and reposted it on Moments, and some even started a live broadcast.

However, when Zhang Jing went to the "FreeLiving" platform with great interest and tried to find the UP host who conducted the live broadcast, he found that the relevant videos had been removed. The video account named "Meimei's Beautiful House", The latest video currently shows that the date is still March 3, and the comments below the video have been closed, which seems to be trying to cover up.

After searching for keywords on the Internet, it seems that there are indeed some traces of discussions. However, when clicking on the most popular ones, they all show "The page you are searching for does not exist."Obviously, there is power stepping in to control the spread of influence.

From some previous clues, Zhang Jing has noticed that the government has obviously begun to have a systematic response plan for such incidents, and controlling public opinion is one of them. The reason why such special incidents have not yet been reported There are factors here that have attracted widespread attention in the public opinion field.

So Zhang Jing was not too surprised by this. Although this behavior did affect his ability to obtain wish points to a great extent, it did have a relatively positive impact on the stability of the entire society, so Zhang Jing was I am not very opposed to this kind of official behavior.

Chapter 399 Workplace X Harassment [-]

As for the wishing point, in the long run, it is impossible for the official to keep it secret forever. As time goes by, more and more people will inevitably notice the changes in the world. Therefore, Zhang Jing is not worried about making wishes in the future. Accumulation of points.

Putting down the wish book, Zhang Jing stretched, stood up slowly, and walked towards the back mountain. He climbed up the stairs along the mountain path while admiring the surrounding tea mountains. Every move he made exuded a sense of leisure.

In the past few days, since he had just completed the advanced level, Zhang Jing needed enough time to stabilize his current state. According to Zhang Taihe's suggestion, Zhang Jing was not in a hurry to engage in intensive practice in the past few days, but was doing basic routines. On the basis of spiritual practice, you should maintain a stable and leisurely state, reading, meditating, and walking. At the same time, in this peaceful daily life, you should always observe and appreciate the new changes in your body, so as to further improve your body and spirit. Understand your current state and at the same time strengthen your understanding of your current state.
