I have been painting skin in the cemetery for fifteen years

That night, the Governor's Mansion in Piaoling City was brightly lit, entertaining nobles and businessmen from all over the world.

As the protagonist of tomorrow's Golden Bell Conference, Mi Qi became the most dazzling star of the entire banquet.

Because several big businessmen have already received the samples of Time Pavilion sent by Mi Qi.

These big businessmen expressed their satisfaction.

However, they also expressed certain concerns.

After all, every year in the past, the protagonist of the Golden Bell Conference was the Star Reaching Pavilion, and now it suddenly became the Time Pavilion.

I am worried that the rich and nobles everywhere will not recognize me.

At this time, Mi Qi took out a contract.

It was the contract under which the Shen Gong family mortgaged the Star-Zhaing Pavilion. On the seventh day of November, if the Shen Gong family could not repay the money, the Star-Zhaing Pavilion would belong to Tianxiahui.

However, Mi Qi had already spent nine hundred thousand taels of silver to buy the contract from Song Yuanshan of the Tianxiahui.

"So in a few days, Zhaixing Pavilion will also belong to my Mi family." Mi Qi said.

As soon as these words came out, all the businessmen were relieved.

Mi Qi decided that after Zhaixing Pavilion gets it, he will produce two brands of clocks, using Zhaixing Pavilion's clock as the price anchor. No matter what, Shiguang Pavilion's clock is 30% more expensive than Zhaixing Pavilion. .

In this way, the Star Reaching Pavilion is used as a stepping stone to improve the quality of the Time Pavilion.

This is also to punish Zhifan.

You didn't kneel down or get on my bed earlier. After the Star Reaching Pavilion is in my hands, it will be a little too late for you to kneel down again.

When the time comes, don’t blame you for ranking behind Bi Xiaoxiao, even though you are more talented than her.

After revealing this meaning, several big businessmen patted their chests and expressed their full support to Time Pavilion.

There is no other way. The Shen Gong family’s Star-Zhaing Pavilion no longer has a clock this year. We all have to make money, right?

And the news has spread. The 10,000 boxes shipped by the Shen Gong family this year are all filled with stones. There are no clocks at all, only three samples.

And soon the Zhaixing Pavilion belonged to the Mi family.

As a result, of course all businessmen have only one way to support Mi Qi.

You must know that desk clocks are a near-monopoly business, and it is these dealers who are looking for suppliers.

And the situation is different this year. Many businessmen from the Western world have come, and the competition at the Admiralty Conference will only become more intense.

Therefore, although the Admiralty Conference has not yet begun, many businessmen have already begun to fawn over Mi Qi.

At today's banquet, Mi Qi had already received dozens of slaves and more than a dozen beauties.

Because in the future Golden Bell Conference, Mi Qi will be the new master, and these businessmen will all rely on him to make a fortune.

Although the Admiralty Conference has not yet begun, Mi Qi has already succeeded.

Although she was a bit debauched at the banquet, Mi Qi was still very sober.

He dispatched hundreds of people to patrol around the warehouse of Qiankun Building. Qiankun Tower is one of the largest pavilions in Piaoling City, so it was chosen as the venue for the Golden Bell Conference. It is also the residence of all businessmen and nobles, and is equivalent to a modern five-star hotel.

Not only did Mi Qi send hundreds of people, the Piaoling City Governor's Mansion also knew that the matter was of great importance and also sent hundreds of people to guard the warehouse. The Shen Gong family also sent hundreds of people.

It can be said that no one can enter the warehouse even half a step.

The absolute safety of these clocks is completely guaranteed.

……………………

Although King Piaoling has no regard for political affairs, he is still the nominal supreme leader of Piaoling City.

He lacked nothing and had everything.

But he was still unhappy.

Because he has an autistic daughter.

That's his lifeblood.

His woman is only eight years old this year. She is very beautiful, with pink makeup and beautiful makeup, like a doll.

But from the age of five, she stopped talking.

Often falling into mania, as if he will never be happy.

King Piao Ling felt extremely distressed and guilty, so the smile disappeared from his face.

King Piao Ling knew that the root cause of his daughter's autism was due to the death of his wife.

Until then, his daughter was a happy little angel.

But since the queen died, the little princess never smiled or spoke again and was in a daze every day.

King Piao Ling also closed the door of the palace from then on and rarely communicated with the outside world.

The entire Piao Ling Palace lost its laughter.

Many people know this past incident.

Zhi Fan had come to Piao Ling City every year before. She had also met Queen Piao Ling and even talked to her several times.

The little princess was also amazed by Zhifan's beauty and even climbed onto her lap several times.

So after Zhifan fell in love with Wuque, he often fantasized about what his child would look like, usually based on this little princess, even though she had white blood.

After the palace was closed, King Piaoling never saw anyone again.

There are only one kind of people who can see the Piao Ling King, and that is warlocks and doctors.

King Piao Ling has made an order that he is willing to pay any price for anyone who can cure his daughter's autism.

………………

More than half an hour later, Zhi Fan and Wu Que secretly appeared in front of King Piao Ling's castle.

"What's the matter?" the eunuch asked.

"Let's meet King Piao Ling."

The eunuch said: "Sorry, no see."

"Let's cure the little princess's illness."

The eunuch said: "Wait a moment!"

After a while, Wu Que saw the Piao Ling King.

He is very rich, but his territory only has one Piaoling city, and his territory is not even one-tenth that of the Shen Gong family.

But he is still powerful, after all, countless trades are carried out in this city every year, and there is also a large fleet.

This is a mixed race of East and West, with obvious white features, but he speaks fluent oriental languages.

"Miss Zhifan, we meet again." Piaoling King seemed very depressed.

Zhifan said: "This is my husband, Shen Wuque."

Piaoling King looked at Wuque and said: "What an enviable and jealous man."

Then, Piaoling King said: "Can you cure my daughter's disease? Is your husband a doctor?"

Having said that, Piaoling King was still very depressed.

In fact, many doctors and sorcerers have come to treat his daughter.

All failed without exception.

Because her daughter has a psychological disorder, not a real disease, and cannot be cured.

In fact, even Wuque can't cure it at all.

Wu Que said, "I can't cure your daughter's disease, but I'll give her a gift that may help her speak again, smile again, and be happy again."

Piao Ling Wang said, "Many people have given her gifts, but it's completely meaningless."

Wu Que said, "My gift is different from everyone else's. It will definitely make your daughter laugh and speak again."

Piao Ling Wang hesitated because he had been disappointed too many times and didn't dare to hold out hope.

Then, he waved his hand and said, "Someone, bring my daughter here."

After a while.

A beautiful little girl was led over.

She was very beautiful, but very thin and haggard.

Because since her mother passed away, she had nightmares almost every night and hadn't slept well for a long, long time.

And she was smaller than other girls of the same age.

It was really pitiful.

After seeing strangers, her eyes showed more fear.

"Ah...ah...ah...ah..."

Then, the daughter of the Piao Ling Wang screamed again and again.

This is a typical feature of autistic children.

King Piao Ling was extremely distressed and waved his hand, saying, "Go, go, go."

"Come on, please ask these two people to leave."

Several eunuchs stepped forward and said to Wu Que and Zhi Fan, "Please go out."

Wu Que said, "Little princess, do you want to see your mother? Can I call your mother to see you?"

As soon as these words came out, the little girl suddenly became quiet.

Mom.

This is the word that the little girl desires most in her heart.

Even, this is what King Piao Ling desires most.

But he knows that this is impossible, his wife is dead and has left this world forever.

In fact, there are many sorcerers and many charlatans who have come, claiming that they can let the queen's soul possess her body and meet King Piao Ling again.

It's just a big dance, at most with ventriloquism.

But after the little girl heard Wu Que's words, her big eyes were full of desire.

Wu Que put down the box in his hand and started to assemble it.

In front of him is a magnifying glass, which is not a rare thing in this world. There have been glass and magnifying glasses hundreds of years ago.

Take out a bottle with water in it.

There is also a large amount of white phosphorus.

Finally, a roll of transparent stuff was taken out.

This thing is very difficult to make. It is a layer of film peeled off from sheep intestines. It is very thin and completely transparent.

Then draw on the film.

It is nine meters long, with a total of more than 200 pictures and serial pictures.

All of them are hand-painted by Wuque.

Put the transparent film scroll in front of the magnifying glass.

Behind the magnifying glass, there is a concave lens to focus the light.

Then, put a large amount of white phosphorus into hot water, and use a tube to continuously inject air into the water.

Suddenly, the white phosphorus exploded in the water, emitting a dazzling light.

This light is many times brighter than a candle, but all the light is locked by the black wooden box.

The concave lens at the back condenses all the light and shoots it to the convex lens. The strong light passes through the film serial pictures, magnifying the entire picture many times and projecting it on the white wall.

Suddenly, a bright image appears on the white wall.

A vivid Queen of Piaoling appears.

Unprecedented realism, just like a photo.

How could it not be realistic?

This was drawn by Wuque using sketches and colors.

Although he had never seen this Piaoling Queen, Zhifan had seen her, and Shen Wuque had seen her too.

He had been to Piaoling City several times and had seen this Piaoling Queen more than once.

King Piaoling was stunned, and so was his daughter.

In fact, many people had presented King Piaoling with portraits of his wife, but no one had painted them so realistically.

It was as if the whole soul was reflected on it.

However, the miracle was just beginning.

Next, Wuque pressed the mechanism.

Suddenly, the barrel began to rotate rapidly.

The picture on the wall actually moved!

The Piaoling Queen on the wall actually began to dance.

The image on the wall actually began to move.

Back then, she attracted King Piaoling with her dance and became his wife.

Her dance was unmatched.

This was a special dance in Tianxiang Country, full of tenderness and magic.

At this time, the image on the wall perfectly matched the dance movements of Queen Piaoling.

This scene is so stunning.

Everyone present was stunned, including Zhifan, even though she had already seen it once on the boat.

But I was still extremely shocked.

King Piao Ling, on the other hand, was completely stunned and couldn't believe the scene in front of him. Is this magic? Is this a miracle? Did it really summon people's souls back?

Just half a minute later.

The scene ends.

A total of nine meters of film comic strip, about 300 frames, controlled at about 10 frames per second, a total of thirty seconds.

This is the most original animation.

The principle is very simple, simpler than the slide principle.

A junior high school student in later generations can do it, but no one can have perfect painting skills.

She draws so well and so realistically. That's what makes this scene so shocking.

For these three hundred frames, Wuque spent a full twenty-one hours painting.

Because the painting needs to be too detailed, and each frame of the picture is only 9 square centimeters.

Not painting on white paper, but on intestinal membrane.

It can be said that it takes more than 10,000 corpses to be buried in order to achieve such meticulousness.

If it had been anyone else, it probably wouldn't have been possible.

And the effect!

Completely unparalleled shock.

The little princess threw herself directly at the wall, hugged the woman on the wall with both hands, and shouted: "Mom, Mom!"

At this time, the image on the wall had stopped moving, but the final portrait was extremely beautiful. She looked at King Piao Ling and the little princess with extremely gentle and affectionate eyes.

This kind of gaze is really healing for the little princess.

King Piao Ling also burst into tears.

At that moment, he seemed to really think that his wife had come back to life.

The white phosphorus burned out and the light dimmed.

The floating queen on the wall gradually disappeared.

The little girl turned around and asked, "Where's mom?"

At this time, King Piaoling realized that his precious daughter had spoken.

After several years, she finally spoke again.

Wuque said: "Mom is in heaven. She wants to meet you once. She is very tired, so she went to rest first. Can she come back to meet you tomorrow?"

The little princess nodded desperately and said: "Okay, okay. I will eat well and sleep well. Mom will come to see me tomorrow and she won't be angry."

Wuque said: "Little princess, you don't have to be afraid from now on, because your mother is protecting you in the sky, and the devil under the bed and the devil on the wall can no longer hurt you."

"Well, mom is the best." The little princess nodded vigorously while holding the doll in her hand.

Then, she opened her legs and ran towards the room quickly.

She wanted to go to bed quickly so that time would pass quickly and tomorrow night would come quickly and she could see her mother again.

………………

Piao Ling Wang's face was filled with tears, and he looked up.

"Mr. Shen Wuque, you are really like a magician. For a moment just now, I really thought it was my wife coming back to see me."

Wuque said: "This is just a technique. I will dedicate it to you and tell you how to use it. When you or the little princess miss her, just let it out and take a look."

King Piao Ling said: "Thank you very much, Mr. Shen Wuque. If you have any requests, please tell me."

Then, King Piaoling said: "Although I am the lord of Piaoling City, my territory is not one-tenth as big as your family, and I don't have much power. My power will be completely useless if it leaves Piaoling City. , so I can’t give you much, and I can’t even break the rules of Piaoling City for you.”

Wuque said: "There is no need for you to violate the rules of Piaoling City. I saw that the Governor and Mi Qi were relatively close. So at this critical moment, I just ask you to uphold justice."

King Piao Ling asked: "Are you sure it's fair?"

Wuque said: "Yes, you don't need to be partial at all. You just need to be impartial, and that's enough."

King Piao Ling said: "In fact, the most I can do is this. Piao Ling City is a merchant autonomous city, and the merchant committee is the highest authority. I am only a nominal leader, not involved in political affairs."

"But...if it's just a critical moment to provide you with justice, I think I can do it."

Wuque said: "In addition, I have a small request."

Piao Ling Wang said: "Please speak."

Wuque asked: "Can the Admiralty Conference be postponed for three days?"

King Piao Ling smiled bitterly and said: "This is probably the limit of my power."

Wuque said: "The entire Golden Bell Conference lasted for five or six days, but in fact all the transactions were completed in just one day. The rest of the time was wasted, so delaying it for three days is not a big problem."

Piao Ling Wang said: "Do you need time to wait for the goods from Zhaixing Pavilion to arrive?"

Wuque said: "You can put it that way."

King Piao Ling said: "Delay for two days. On the first day, I can entertain these merchants. On the second day, I will take the merchants to visit Piao Ling City. This is the limit of what I can do for you, young man."

Wuque said: "Okay, thank you. I'll take my leave."

Piao Ling Wang said: "Slow down, Mr. Shen Wuque."

……………………

The perfect first step has been successfully completed.

Of course, this is just a precaution.

In fact, even if Wu Que didn't go to Piao Ling King, Piao Ling City's Business Committee might not be on Mi Qi's side when things actually happen.

Businessmen make huge profits.

They are fair, so they always stand on the side of the winner.

As long as Wuque is the winner at the Golden Bell Conference, Piaoling City will stand on Wuque's side.

Otherwise, even if King Piaoling supports Wuque, it will be useless.

No one can violate the rules of Piaoling City. This is the foundation of Piaoling City.

Otherwise, Piaoling is just a small island. How can it become the trade center of the East and West?

After leaving King Piaoling's castle, there are still five hours before dawn.

Wuque returned to Qiankun Tower.

At this time, Mi Qi had not returned yet, and the banquet at the Governor's Mansion had not ended.

And around Qiankun Tower, there were thousands of warriors.

Three hundred warriors from the Mi family, three hundred warriors from the Shen Gong family, and three hundred warriors from Piaoling City.

Thousands of people guarded the warehouse of Qiankun Tower.

Monitor each other.

Before the Golden Bell Conference, no one was allowed to enter the warehouse.

Not to mention making any moves.

The iron door was more than a foot thick, and no weapon could open it.

After returning to the room.

All the doors were closed, and Zhi Fan personally stood guard at the door, and no one was allowed to approach.

Then...

Wuque began to use magnetic control.

A handful of iron powder floated in the air, and then silently passed through the sewer and drilled into the warehouse under the Qiankun Building.

Then, Wuque controlled the iron powder to start violent friction movement.

The temperature was getting higher and higher.

Finally, the pure iron powder began to melt into molten iron.

The temperature reached an astonishing 1535 degrees Celsius.

There were three huge warehouses under the Qiankun Building.

The left one was Mi Qi's warehouse, and the right one was Shen Wuque's warehouse, separated by an extremely thick steel wall.

Wuque used magnetic control to turn the hot molten iron into a sharp blade and began to cut the steel wall in the middle.

The melting point of steel is about 200 degrees Celsius lower than that of pure iron, so the thick steel wall was easily cut open.

There is no need to cut too big a hole.

50 cm high and 30 cm wide will do.

After cutting two holes.

Use magnetic control to move the cut steel plate to one side and put it down silently.

The hardest part is done!

This is also the reason why Wuque must risk his life to go to the Demon Spirit Sea.

His previous magnetic control technique was not enough, and he had no problem moving hundreds of kilograms of things. But he could not make the iron powder move quickly to generate heat by friction and directly reach the level of melting.

After using the Star Absorbing Technique to devour the power of the Demon Spirit Pearl, he was promoted to the fifth grade, and he could melt the iron powder into molten iron.

Everything that followed was easy.

Each clock and box only weighed 30 kilograms.

And the clock used a lot of steel, which could be easily controlled and moved by magnetic control.

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh..."

Silently.

The boxes in the warehouses on both sides began to exchange.

The boxes in Wuque's warehouse flew into Miqi's warehouse, which was full of stones.

Miqi's warehouse was full of real clocks, all of which flew to Wuque's warehouse.

The key point is that the boxes that shipped the clocks were exactly the same.

It took four hours!

Wuque used the magnetic control technique to move all the boxes. Miqi almost spent all his money to get these clocks, and they were all returned intact.

However, not all of them can be moved!

Some of them must be left behind, especially the clocks piled at the outermost part of the warehouse, in case Miqi checks them tomorrow.

Next, Wuque used the magnetic control technique to seal the cut again.

Not only must it be sealed, but the gap must also be welded.

If ordinary welding is used, there will definitely be traces.

But using the magnetic control technique to control the flow of molten iron can completely eliminate the welding gap without any trace.

Doing all this is still not enough.

There is also the most important thing.

Change the logo on the clock dial and change the Time Pavilion to the Star Picking Pavilion.

This is the most important part.

Mi Qi was mean. In order to sell his own clock, he copied it exactly like the one in Zhaixing Pavilion.

Only the twelve o'clock mark was slightly different.

The most important thing was that the brand logo on the dial was different.

As long as all the Shiguang Pavilion were changed to Zhaixing Pavilion.

Then... this batch of clocks would definitely become the products of the Shen Gong family.

It was very, very simple to do this.

Just melt the Shiguang Pavilion font on the dial of the clock and reorganize it into Zhaixing Pavilion.

But the damn thing was that these fonts were written with melted gold.

And gold is not controlled by magnetism, so it cannot be directly heated and melted by magnetism control.

It is necessary to melt the iron powder into molten iron first, then melt the gold, and then reassemble the font.

Of course, the dials of these clocks are ceramic and will not be damaged by high temperatures of more than one thousand degrees Celsius.

But it is very, very cumbersome and very, very troublesome.

You are sick.

Bi Xiaoxiao is sick, and Zhifan baby you are also sick.

Why don't these brand logos use iron? Why use gold? Do you look rich?

More than 9,000 clocks?

When will I change it?

Wuque began to suffer from schizophrenia.

He split into ten, twenty, thirty.

He had reached his limit.

It was not that he could not split into more. He had devoured the souls and memories of countless people, so it was no problem for him to split into hundreds of people.

However, his magnetism control skills are limited.

Beyond thirty, his cultivation is completely insufficient.

Moreover, although the straight-line distance between the room he lives in and the warehouse is no more than six meters, it is completely within the range of magnetism.

But... there is still six meters in the end.

Therefore, he could only modify the logos of thirty clocks at the same time.

It takes five minutes to modify the logo once.

It's such a shame, half a minute is enough for those skilled craftsmen to change the logo.

Open the glass cover of the clock, remove the old logo, and install the new logo directly. The whole process is extremely fast.

However, to use magnetism, the gold needs to be melted with molten iron and then reassembled into a new logo.

Even at the fastest speed, it still takes five minutes.

Thirty at the same time.

In one hour, about 360 revisions were made.

The whole process is very magical. The molten iron at 1500 degrees Celsius easily melts the golden font "Time Pavilion" on the disk into gold water, because the melting point of gold is only a little over 1,000 degrees Celsius.

Then mix the molten iron into the golden water and recombine it into the three characters "Zhaixing Pavilion".

As for the family crest logo on the twelve o'clock mark, I'm sorry, I didn't have time to modify it, so I just erased it.

The whole process was silent.

Outside the warehouse, thousands of guards were patrolling. They would not find anything unusual or hear any sounds.

However, at Wu Que's pace, it would take thirty hours to modify the logos on all the clocks.

Moreover, he still needs to rest in the middle of the process, and his cultivation will always be exhausted.

Exactly twelve hours later!

Wu Que only changed the logos of less than 4,000 clocks.

However, his mental energy was completely exhausted.

……………………

The next day!

The Admiralty Conference was originally going to start today.

As a result, King Piaoling hosted a banquet for all the merchants and nobles, and he had to give them face.

Mi Qi was very alert.

He immediately opened the warehouse and checked the clock inside.

Even though he didn't think anything would happen, he did it just in case.

I checked a dozen clocks and found no problems at all.

"You must guard the door of the warehouse all day long. Even if there are flies, not a single mosquito can fly in." Mi Qi ordered.

"yes!"

Thousands of people surrounded the entire warehouse.

Three waves of people monitor each other.

There is absolutely no possibility of manipulation.

Then Mi Qi, Zhi Fan, and Wu Que all went to attend King Piao Ling's banquet.

Night time!

After resting perfectly, the extremely tedious work began again.

Once again, at intervals of six meters, magnetism was used to modify the markings on the dials of these clocks bit by bit.

Perhaps because I have become more proficient, it no longer takes five minutes to modify a logo, but only four minutes.

But even so!

More than ten hours later, Wu Que still only changed the logos of more than 4,000 clocks.

There are still nearly a thousand table clocks whose brand logos have not been changed.

And this morning, King Piaoling once again sent eunuchs to invite all the merchants and nobles in Qiankun Tower to visit Piaoling City.

But this time, Mi Qi refused.

It wasn't that he was suspicious of anything, but that he didn't want to waste any time.

Attending the banquet yesterday was enough to give Prince Piaoling face.

He will not go to visit Piaoling City today and will just send his men there.

And, at his insistence!

The Admiralty Conference has officially begun!

At this time, there are still about a thousand clocks left whose logos have not been modified.

The top hall of Qiankun Building.

Hundreds of businessmen are present.

Mi Qi and the governor of Piaoling City were present.

The Governor himself said: "I declare that the Admiralty Conference has officially begun!"

……………………

Note: The second update is coming. I worked hard to code and keep it in the top ten of the new book monthly ticket list.

Brothers, if you have a monthly ticket, don’t keep it and vote for me, okay? Help me hold on and keep the top ten!

The pastries continue to work hard to write, thank you everyone.
