Chapter 464: Full of Flags

"Soldier Demon God?! Are you sure it's the Soldier Demon God?"

When Zhu Ting heard these three words, his eyes lit up instantly.

His appearance surprised Lu Xiaofeng.

In Lu Xiaofeng's impression, there are not many things that can interest Zhu Ting, and those that can make him have such a big reaction are even rarer.

What exactly is this so-called soldier demon god?
"Yes, it is the Soldier Demon God. It seems that Boss Zhu should have heard of him."

Bai Xiuzhu nodded.

Since Zhu Ting knows the Demon God of War, subsequent communication will be much simpler.

"Of course! You mean, the Gongshu Chou mentioned earlier came here for the Demon God of War?"

Bai Xiuzhu nodded again.

Zhu Ting is regarded as a confidant by Lu Xiaofeng, so he is certainly not a stupid person, and a fool himself cannot become a master of mechanical engineering.

Bai Xiuzhu was not surprised that he could immediately think of the Demon God of War when he heard the word.

"In order to prevent Gongshu Chou from using any tricks to take the Soldier Demon God away, I asked Lu Xiaofeng to find you, Boss Zhu. I don't think Boss Zhu will let this happen, right?"

Zhu Ting also nodded slightly at this moment.

"You have found the right person. If it was just the Soldier Demon God, I would be somewhat interested in it, but if it is to prevent those guys from getting the Soldier Demon God, my interest would be even greater."

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiuzhu looked at Zhu Ting thoughtfully.

"It seems that Boss Zhu and those people from Tyrannical Mechanical Arts are not very friendly?"

When Zhu Ting heard this, he couldn't help but smile.

"Isn't it obvious? Since you can tell from my words that I am the descendant of Lu Ban, do you think I have a good relationship with those guys from Tyrannical Mechanical Arts?"

Bai Xiuzhu smiled slightly.

This was exactly what he expected.

As the descendant of Lu Ban, Zhu Ting should be treated as a guest of honor anywhere in Daqin as long as he is willing.

But his ancestors finally traveled thousands of miles to Ming Dynasty and settled here.

There are two reasons for this.

One comes from external pressure, and the other is internal exclusion.

The first scenario is unlikely.

External pressure is nothing more than offending certain people whom you cannot afford to offend.

But now all the masters of mechanical engineering belong to Gongshu’s people. In other words, they are also the descendants of Lu Ban.

It doesn’t make sense that since we are all descendants of Lu Ban, but Zhu Ting’s ancestor offended someone, Gongshu Jia, who is also a descendant of Lu Ban, could stay out of it.

Therefore, the second possibility is more likely, that Zhu Ting’s ancestors were ostracized internally.

And exclude their
Then who else could it be except Gongshujia?
Bai Xiuzhu continued to look at Zhu Ting: "Boss Zhu, can you explain something?"

Although he had a rough guess, Bai Xiuzhu still wanted to ask Zhu Ting for the answer.

Zhu Ting clicked his tongue and then sighed slightly.

"Since you know about Lu Ban and Tyrant Mechanical Arts, you must have heard of the other Mechanical Arts school, right?"

Bai Xiuzhu nodded: "I guess Boss Zhu is referring to the Mohist school's 'non-offensive mechanical technique'."

When Zhu Ting heard Bai Xiuzhu's words, he couldn't help but sigh again.

"Yes, the origin of these two branches of mechanical arts can be traced back to an epic battle."

"Lu Ban and Mo Zi?"

Zhu Ting nodded again.

Seeing his affirmation, Bai Xiuzhu said nothing more.

The battle between Lu Ban and Mo Zi was included in the textbook of the nine-year compulsory education before Bai Xiuzhu traveled through time, so Bai Xiuzhu was naturally familiar with it.

"What, what are you talking about?"

But just because they two know it doesn't mean others know it too.

At least Lu Xiaofeng was not very familiar with the incident that happened in Daqin. Seeing the two of them turning into riddlers, he immediately started to get to the bottom of it.

Zhu Ting looked at Lu Xiaofeng speechlessly.

But I couldn't resist this guy's eager eyes, so I had to tell him the whole story.

Before the unification of the Qin Dynasty, there were many princes in the territory and every place was a country.

With so many countries, naturally some are strong and some are weak.

There were seven countries at the top, and among the seven countries, even including the later unified Qin State, the most powerful one in the beginning was Chu State.

How the Qin State became the strongest state through a series of reforms will not be discussed for now.

After all, the story takes place in the most powerful Chu State.

At that time, the State of Chu assembled an army of 400,000 and prepared to attack the small State of Song, intending to capture it.

He spent a large sum of money to invite Lu Ban to build nine different mechanisms for him. After Mozi knew about this, in order to quell the war and promote his Mohist doctrine of "universal love and non-aggression", he immediately set out for the State of Chu, intending to stop all this.

He made a bold statement that as long as he helped Song, Chu would eventually be defeated even though its military strength was far greater than Song.

The King of Chu naturally did not believe it. Mozi said that his confidence came from his own "non-aggression skills".

How could Lu Ban bear it when he heard this?
He immediately wanted to compete with Mozi in the art of mechanical engineering and challenge Mozi with the nine mechanisms he had built for the State of Chu.

The results are basically known to everyone.

Lu Ban lost nine battles and never won a single one.

Lu Ban, who delved into the "domineering mechanical arts", was also a ruthless person. He immediately advised the King of Chu to kill Mozi.

Mozi was even more extreme, saying that if the King of Chu was willing to withdraw his troops, he would offer his head with both hands.

The result was that the State of Chu withdrew its troops and Mozi died tragically.

The subsequent plot is a bit clichéd.

After the competition between Mozi and Lu Ban, disagreements arose among Lu Ban's descendants.

Some people believe that the Overlord Mechanical Technique is invincible in the world, and Mozi just took some shortcuts. Moreover, attacking is inherently more difficult than defending, which does not mean that non-offensive mechanical techniques are better than the Overlord Mechanical Technique.

Another group of people think that.

Since non-offensive mechanical techniques can defeat overbearing mechanical techniques, they must have their merits. We should not be blindly confident and perhaps try to eliminate the dross and retain the essence.

When Lu Ban was alive, he could easily suppress the voices from inside the door with his reputation.

But after Lu Ban's death, the clash between the two views became more intense.

Later on, there was even a near-internal strife within the sect.

The final result was that the faction represented by the direct line of Gongshu family, who insisted on the invincibility of the hegemonic mechanical arts, defeated the other faction who wanted to seek common ground while reserving differences.

After this kind of internal strife occurs, of course, it is inevitable that there will be a cleanup of the house.

It was at that time that Zhu Ting's ancestors had to come to the Ming Dynasty in order to escape being hunted down.

Zhu Ting shook his head as he spoke.

"It's ridiculous. If it weren't for the help of the Mohists, my ancestors might not have been able to escape from the Qin Dynasty."

"Then this Mo family seems to be really good."

After hearing what happened, Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but praise the Mohist school.

Bai Xiuzhu was not surprised by this.

After all, among the various schools of thought in "The Legend of Qin", the Mohist school was portrayed as the protagonist.

Just like the Shu Kingdom among Wei, Shu and Wu in Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

As the protagonist, it is normal for him to do such a "righteous act".

"Yes, it's a pity that the then Mohist master Six-Fingered Black Knight was implicated. I heard that after he brought my ancestors to the Ming Dynasty, there was no news of him anymore. Perhaps he was killed."

Zhu Ting let out a sigh.

Then he looked at Bai Xiuzhu again.

"I roughly understand why you asked me to come here. Anyway, since this matter is related to those guys from Tyrannical Mechanical Arts, I will definitely not stand idly by."

With his assurance, Bai Xiuzhu nodded. Zhu Ting was different from the others.

If it were anyone else.

The worst that could happen to Bai Xiuzhu is that he can use the "Life and Death Talisman" to force the other party to help him.

But Zhu Ting is Lu Xiaofeng's friend, so Bai Xiuzhu could not use such intimidation on him.

Now that he is willing to help, that is naturally the best.

"By the way, you haven't told me yet, what on earth is that soldier demon god?"

Lu Xiaofeng suddenly reacted at this moment.

Talked for a long time.

He didn't even know what the "Demon God of War" they were talking about was.

But it's a pity.

Neither Bai Xiuzhu nor Zhu Ting explained the meaning of the Demon God of War to this layman in the art of mechanical engineering.

Seeing that they were unwilling to pay attention to him, Lu Xiaofeng, feeling bored, could not help but curl his lips.

"Tsk, if you don't want to tell me then don't tell me"

Seeing his deflated look, Bai Xiuzhu and Zhu Ting smiled at each other.

After laughing, Zhu Ting spoke seriously again.

"What's your plan?"

Bai Xiuzhu explained, "I don't have a plan for now. This time, the Great Qin has sent quite a few people to fight the Demon God. Liusha and Yinyang have all come. Liusha has even sent their leader, Wei Zhuang, one of the Ghost Valley Zongheng. I fought him once before, and he broke my sword. We have to see what to do next."

Lu Xiaofeng looked at Bai Xiuzhu's waist in surprise.

"I was wondering why this thing turned into a belt. It turns out your sword is broken."

The Bosuqu Snake King, who was cueed by him, opened his vertical pupils and looked at him. It was only due to the conditions, otherwise he would probably roll his eyes at him.
Lu Xiaofeng smiled at it, and then spoke again.

"It seems that the opponent is quite strong."

Bai Xiuzhu shook his head.

"But I'm not going to have a head-on confrontation with that guy again. I'll just leave it to Yu Huatian to deal with it when the time comes."

Thinking of Yu Huatian whom he had seen at the door of the inn before, Lu Xiaofeng chuckled.

"It seems that this Rain Lord will be busy."

"It's his turn to be busy. The treasure will belong to him in the future. If he doesn't work, who will?"

Bai Xiuzhu spoke indifferently.

I believe Yu Huatian himself has prepared for this.

No matter what, Bai Xiuzhu would never risk his life to help Yu Huatian and Wei Zhuang. As long as Yu Huatian was sane, he would definitely understand this.

The most he could do was to help him deal with the minor masters like Bai Feng and Chi Lian.

Considering the combat effectiveness of the two grandmasters, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are small fry.

But trash fish are trash fish.

The flapping of a butterfly's wings can cause a tsunami, and a nail can destroy a country.

In order to prevent these small fry from affecting the entire battle situation, Bai Xiuzhu still needs to take action to clean them up.

"So, what I have to do is to have a battle of mechanical arts with Gongshu Chou?"

Zhu Ting, who seemed to understand, looked at Bai Xiuzhu.

Bai Xiuzhu nodded slightly.

"If nothing unexpected happens, that's the case. We haven't received any news of other large forces coming to Qiuci, so it's very likely..."

As Bai Xiuzhu spoke, he felt something was wrong.

Why do I always feel like there are flags all over my body when I speak?
Maybe it's better not to say these things?
But he didn't say anything, Lu Xiaofeng just helped him to continue the conversation.

"It is very likely that the two forces of Qin and Ming will fight for it?"

Although Bai Xiuzhu had a bad feeling.

But judging from the current situation, there seems to be nothing wrong with what he said.

There shouldn't be such a bad thing as a prophecy coming true, right?
night.

Outside the capital of the Kingdom of Kucha.

A group of four people were looking at the city located in the desert from afar.

"That's the destination, right?"

A tall man wearing a bamboo hat spoke.

"Whoo~"

He had just finished speaking when he reached out to adjust his hat which was blown askew by the storm.

"According to the map, there is no mistake."

A man next to him responded after looking at the map.

He took off the wine gourd from his waist and poured it into his mouth several times, but not a drop of wine came out.

Only a little lingering aroma of the previous wine lingered from the gourd.

"Unlucky, the wine is gone."

He couldn't help but glance around him after he finished speaking.

"What's even worse is that we seem to be being targeted."

As his words fell.

Under the moonlight at night, pairs of deep green eyes suddenly appeared in the desert that turned from yellow to silver.

If there are locals from Kucha, they should know this.

These are wolf packs unique to the Qiuci Desert.

They usually move at night to avoid the scorching sun during the day and reduce water consumption.

Just when he was about to take action to let these beasts know how powerful he is.

Behind him, a young man with a sword in both hands suddenly opened his closed eyes.

The young man had green hair, which formed a sharp contrast with the three people beside him.

But what was even more surprising was his eyes.

His eyes were the same green as the wolves surrounding the four people, which was chilling.
As his eyes swept over the wolves around him.

Suddenly, a very penetrating howl came from the wolf pack, which had some thoughts about the four people.

"Ow~"

Anyone who knows something about wolves will understand that this is the cry of the wolf king in the wolf pack.

At the wolf king's roar, the wolves that had just been eyeing him hungrily suddenly moved their limbs.

Instead of attacking these four people, they evacuated one by one in an orderly manner.

Seeing this scene, the man holding the wine gourd chuckled.

"I forgot that we also have a wolf king here."

The young man with the sword in both hands glanced at him, said nothing, and closed his eyes again.

“Crack. Crack.”

There was a sound of sand being rolled over by something.

Take a closer look.

It turned out to be a wheelchair that was slowly moving towards the capital of Kucha.

"According to my uncle's instructions, that thing cannot fall into anyone's hands."

The man in the wheelchair stopped talking after he finished speaking.

He continued to drive his wheelchair forward, leaving two not very deep ruts in the desert.

When he mentioned "Uncle Shi", the other three also gathered their minds and followed him to the capital of Kucha.
