Thickness of the Sky

Chapter 362 The Thickness of the Sky

To activate the Sun-Shooting Cannon, one needs to use the jade plate in Qin Mu's hand. The Sun-Shooting Cannon is too large, and it is very difficult to maneuver and control it. Therefore, Qin Mu refined another jade plate to communicate with the Sun-Shooting Cannon. Through the jade plate, one can control this huge cannon and make it shoot wherever he points.

The jade plate is the brain center of the Sun-Shooting Cannon.

Qin Mu taught Emperor Yanfeng the method of controlling the jade plate. It was simple to learn and extremely simple to use. As a forging master, Qin Mu could already make extremely troublesome things extremely simple. This alone made him better than many other forging masters.

Emperor Yanfeng put the disc away, took it out again after a while to play with it, then put it away again, and took it out to play with it again after a while.

Qin Mu kindly said, "Your Majesty, you can try firing a cannon."

Emperor Yanfeng glared at him fiercely and said unhappily: "Once the cannon is fired, the treasury will be empty! I am not like you, spending money lavishly."

Qin Mu said: "Didn't the prince come back from the snowy plains? He should have brought a lot of money with him."

"You can't just fire the cannon! The money in the treasury can't be touched casually. The country has a lot of work to do, so where is there a shortage of money?"

Emperor Yanfeng put the jade plate away again. After a while, Qin Mu saw the emperor secretly took it out again. He couldn't help but shake his head. Emperor Yanfeng would definitely not be able to eat or sleep well because he had never fired a cannon himself. He would probably be thinking about the thrill of firing a cannon on him in his dreams.

However, his reason tells him that he cannot use the Sun-Shooting Cannon casually, and then the emperor will continue to struggle.

"Let him be." Qin Mu thought to himself.

Suddenly, several officials from the Tianjian Division came forward holding thick files, led by Huoshan Ling, who saluted Qin Mu and said, "Qin Duzao, you fired a cannon into the sky just now, and we checked the sky from the Tianjian Tower and found something strange. Duzao has many experts in numerology here, so we would like to ask Duzao to help with the calculations."

Qin Mu was surprised and asked, "What's so weird?"

“When the sky is broken, the sky changes.”

Huojing Ling of the Tianshi Division said, "The sky split open, and the celestial phenomena shifted. It returned to normal after it closed. We have recorded the angle of the shift, but our numerology is not very advanced, so it is difficult to calculate what happened at the time. Sir Qin, please look at this, this is a star map from past dynasties."

He opened the star map and turned the pages one by one. Qin Mu looked at it. The Astronomical Bureau recorded the star phenomena in the sky. The star map of each year was very regular, and the changes were very subtle.

"This is the star map after Lord Qin fired that shot."

Huo Jingling opened the last page and pointed at the star map, saying, "After that cannon, the sky was dark for a moment. The armillary sphere in the Jiantian Observatory recorded the stars in the sky. The sun shifted by one inch and seven points. When the crack healed, the sun returned. The other stars that appeared during the darkness also shifted, more or less. And there is no star at the crack. This is definitely not normal. There should be 107 stars in this crack!"

Qin Mu was still puzzled and asked, "Could it be that the divine cannon is too powerful and the space is torn apart, causing the line of sight to be distorted and offset?"

“That’s a possibility.”

Huo Jingling said, "However, we, the Heavenly Monitoring Department, use the Armillary Sphere to monitor the celestial phenomena. This spiritual weapon is also a heavy spiritual treasure. The vision of us supernatural powers may be distorted, but the Armillary Sphere will not. The stars and constellations on the Armillary Sphere move with the stars and constellations in the sky. If the stars and constellations on the Armillary Sphere move, it means that the stars and constellations in the sky really move. The most important thing is, why are there no stars at the crack?"

Qin Mu's heart moved slightly, and he asked tentatively: "What do you mean?"

Several Sky Monitors looked at each other. Huoshan Ling coughed and said, "Before the results are calculated, we will not make any guesses, and we are not responsible for any guesses made by others. Master Qin, please forgive me."

"These guys are so secretive."

Qin Mu frowned and said, "Most of the masters here are from Dao Sect and Xiaoyujing. They are planning to leave and return to Dao Sect and Xiaoyujing. I don't dare to say whether I can invite them."

Xu Shenghua stepped forward, eager to try, and said, "I also have some knowledge of magic."

Qin Mu smiled and said, "It's great that Brother Xu can come to help. I'll go and ask Daoist Master Lin Xuan and Wang Muran to come and help."

Jingyan said quickly: "My master will help me, so the one thousand coins I owe you..."

Qin Mu said without even turning his head: "If you don't help me, I have plenty of experts in numerology here!"

Jingyan's face suddenly darkened: "Stingy guy!"

Xu Shenghua said: "Swallow, don't be angry. In fact, I also want to know what happened in the sky after Master Qin fired that cannon. And he is not wrong. It doesn't matter to him whether we help or not. It's just a matter of time."

Qin Mu called in Daoist Master Lin Xuan, Wang Muran, Mu Qingdai and other young masters. When everyone gathered, Wang Muran asked, "What does Daoist Master Qin want?"

Qin Mu looked at Huo Jing Ling of the Tianshi Division. Huo Jing Ling's eyes flickered and he said, "Calculate the celestial phenomena."

Taoist Master Lin Xuan said with a smile: "Heavenly Phenomena? Master Qin practiced the Dao Sword of our sect. The fourth chapter of Dao Sword is Heavenly Phenomena. With him here, why would he need us?"

Qin Mu shook his head and said, "The fourth chapter of Dao Sword calculates normal celestial phenomena, but what the Heaven Monitoring Department wants us to calculate is abnormal celestial phenomena."

Taoist Master Lin Xuan and other Taoist priests were all puzzled. There were normal and abnormal celestial phenomena.

Huo Jing Ling described the celestial phenomena observed by the Tianshi Supervisor, saying: "The stars are moving, and the stars in the cracks are disappearing. This celestial phenomenon is definitely not normal. It's like, it's like..."

Mu Qingdai blurted out: "It's like the stars are hung on a curtain!"

Huo Jing Ling clapped his hands and said, "Yes! It's like hanging on a curtain. Lord Qin used the cannon light to tear open the curtain, and then the stars, sun and moon separated to the sides!"

Many young people looked at each other with solemn expressions.

Are celestial phenomena hanging in the sky?

Xu Shenghua looked up at the sky, calmed himself down, and said, "Master Qin, what exactly do you want us to calculate?"

"Based on the star movement caused by that shot, calculate the height and thickness of the sky!"

Qin Mu glanced at the many star officials of the Tianjian Division and said, "Is this what you all mean?"

Several star officials from the Astronomical Bureau looked at each other and nodded slowly.

"Master Qin is smart."

Huojing Ling said in a hoarse voice: "In the past, we thought that the sky was infinitely high and thick, but Lord Qin's shot made us, the Sky Monitoring Department, feel that the sky may be limited in height and thickness. The stars in the sky are not as big and far away as we imagined, and the sun seems to be, also..."

He didn't dare to say any more.

Qin Mu looked at everyone and asked, "What do you think?"

They were all young people. Although they had different backgrounds, heritages, camps and philosophies, they were all very curious and looked up at the sky.

Taoist Lin Xuan retracted his gaze and said, "Since Master Qin's shot has shown us that the sky has thickness and height, why not calculate it?"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Wang Muran said: "We need to know the specific star's offset data to calculate it."

Huo Jing Ling said: "Every star, including the sun, is recorded by my Sky Monitoring Department."

"That's much easier!"

Everyone immediately started measuring and calculating. After a long time, they summarized the calculated figures, and everyone's faces became solemn and confused.

"I don't believe it!"

A Taoist priest suddenly stood up, threw the Bagua diagram in his hand to the ground, smashing it to pieces with a snap, and said angrily: "I don't believe it!" After that, he ran away.

The other numerology experts were silent. Long Yu murmured, "This is impossible. We must have calculated it wrong. This is absolutely impossible..."

Several Taoist masters lost their minds and laughed, "You must have miscalculated. The sky can't be so thin..."

"It's absolutely wrong!" Huojingling said decisively.

"Yes, it must be wrong!" Many people agreed.

Xu Shenghua shook his head and said, "It's impossible that all of us have calculated wrong, right? If everyone comes up with the same number, then the result must be correct. The sky is just this high and this thick."

"This is impossible! Impossible..." Long Yu was in a daze and staggered away. He was a little crazy.

Mu Qingdai felt a little dizzy and quickly squatted down and sat on the ground.

Qin Mu looked at the numbers they calculated and fell into deep thought. The sky was 100,000 miles high, but only 300 feet thick. In other words, within the 300-foot thickness, there was the sun, the moon, the Milky Way, and countless stars!

How is this possible?

“Hehehehe…”

His mentality suddenly collapsed. He laughed non-stop until tears came out. He laughed so hard that he sat down and patted his knees.

"Master Qin, what are you laughing at?" Taoist Lin Xuan glared at him and shouted.

"Abandoned people..."

Qin Mu laughed loudly, pointed at the tip of his nose, and laughed so hard that he almost cried: "You are an abandoned person! You are also an abandoned person! And you, you, you! You are all abandoned people!"

Everyone looked at him coldly. Qin Mu pointed his finger at their faces one by one, and finally pointed at Xu Shenghua. His laughter subsided, and his face became terribly cold: "You are also an abandoned person!"

Xu Shenghua frowned. The sky was only this high and this thick. Not to mention putting the sun, moon, stars and rivers in the sky, even a mountain could not fit in it.

However, there are sun, moon, stars and rivers in the sky. So there is only one possibility. The bright stars in the sky, the blazing sun, the bright and shining moon, and the Milky Way with billions of stars like a long river are all fake and pasted on!

This day was like a seal, sealing this world. The sun, moon, stars, and galaxies presented to them were all fake.

Daxu is surrounded by the Shenduan Mountains and there is no sunlight. At night, darkness engulfs the place and you can never see the stars or the moon when you look up.

The people in Daxu are abandoned by God.

However, the creatures in this world may also be abandoned people like the abandoned people in Daxu!

Taoist Master Lin Xuan suddenly shook his sleeves and said coldly: "I will not be an abandoned person! Taoist disciples, let's go back to the mountain!" As he walked, he suddenly burst into tears.

"Tao follows nature... it's a fucking fake nature!"

The young Taoist master yelled at the sky with his throat raised, "All my efforts in this life have been spent on that damn fake natural phenomenon!"
