I want to embrace the moon for nine days

bass! ! !
Dongfang Xin tentatively waved his knife.

He barely exerted any force on this knife. He just held the knife in his hand, and he was filled with joy. His mind affected his internal energy, and he naturally emitted some aura, which was absorbed by the handle and blade.

As soon as the knife passed through the air, a faint ripple visible to the naked eye flew out.

On a cliff half a mile away, the rock at the corner of the cliff was suddenly cut off, sliding and rolling down into the valley. The cut was smooth, like a frozen river in winter.

"It's wonderful. When I hold this knife in my hand, it seems to have become a part of my mind. I can use it as hard as I want, as light as I want, and I can use the right amount of force everywhere."

"But in reality, the weight of the blade is still fixed and will not float or change, so it just feels like when I hold the knife."

Dongfang Xin pointed his left hand together and wiped the back of the knife. No trace of breakage could be seen where the blade originally broke.

He weighed it carefully and was full of praise.

"We didn't use other ore casting materials. We just relied on some ointment and hammering to achieve this level. It's really amazing and eye-opening to me."

"Eight thousand taels of gold is really worth the money. I'm afraid you will still suffer a loss."

The white-haired woman's eyes moved imperceptibly, but her voice was still so calm: "Then do you want more money?"

"Ha ha!"

Dongfang Xin didn't think it was strange, "Then let's put it all together, how about ten thousand taels of gold?"

"It's just that I don't have this amount of golden tickets around me. I have to go back to Changle Mountain House. I don't know where your Majesty will stay recently. I'll give it to you as soon as I get the golden tickets!"

The white-haired woman nodded and said, "I have just arrived in Quancheng, but I have probably been walking around in the past two months. As long as you see someone carrying the same bamboo basket as me, say hello, and you will naturally be able to find me."

"Senior Xueya, are the entire sect moving?"

A voice floated in the sky.

A long blue cloud hung down from the morning sky, and two figures stood there.

Situ Yuntao stood in front of Qingyun, floating in the air, waving his hand to put away the Qingyun scroll, and landed with Jiujiu Taoist Master.

"Senior, it's been a long time!"

The white-haired woman took a closer look and said in surprise: "It turns out to be you. You have already cultivated into the Divine Palace quite quickly. Now that you are at the same level as me, there is no need to call you senior."

Situ Yuntao smiled and said: "Haha, the cultivation attainments of Longquan Tao are not only reflected in the realm of internal strength."

"Besides, people who have old friendships don't have to follow the rules in the world of judging seniority based on strength."

He turned around and said, "Let me introduce you to you. This is the current Taoist Master of Longquan Tao, Senior Fang Xueya."

"These two are my old friend Dongfang Xin and junior brother Su Hanshan."

Fang Xuelia looked at Su Hanshan: "It turns out he is from Tiandu Immortal Mansion. No wonder he has such strength at such a young age!"

"Are your Immortal Mansion planning to designate the land of Shanyang as your training ground?"

There is an unwritten rule in the Tiandu Immortal Mansion. Anyone who has cultivated the Xuantai can choose to go out of the mountain and use a county as their own trial site to slay demons, guide their livelihood, resolve disasters, accumulate fame, and hone their skills. state of mind.

During the founding of the Great Chu Kingdom, the Tiandu Immortal Mansion was known as having no state religion, but actually had a state religion, which was comparable to the Buzhou Palace of the Great Qin Dynasty.

Not only because of the existence of the seventh-generation patriarch, but also because of the actions of these disciples.

However, as the government offices at all levels in Dachu became more stable, this rule gradually faded away in the two to three hundred years since the founding of the People's Republic of China.

In the past hundred years, people like Situ Yuntao who came out for trials in disguise have also assumed a layer of official status, and there are not many of them.

Su Hanshan did not intend to be the chief officer of Shanyang, but assisting Situ Yuntao in running this territory could be regarded as mutual reliance with Xueling.

I still have the idea that Su Hanshan's relatives and friends in his hometown will be more secure in the future.

So, he just smiled and didn't answer anything directly.

In Fang Xueya's view, this was his acquiescence.

"Since Tiandu Immortal Palace is also willing to intervene, I don't have to worry about some things, just tell me."

Fang Xueya put the sapphire jar on the table into the bamboo basket and said, "Longquan Dao is in my hands and has developed quite well, but in these years, I have either been a guest or a temporary employee."

"Such a tree without roots and water without a source is not a solution. It just so happens that the world is about to change, which may give me, Longquan Dao, a chance to revive again."

"So I have been paying attention to the affairs of the nine counties of the East China Sea since a few years ago. Recently, I finally waited for the perfect opportunity to intervene, so I came all the way..."

At that time, the Destiny Sect and Prince Liang's Mansion had been operating for many years and had been closely connected with the energy of the nine counties of the East China Sea. After the rebellion started, they violently consumed this energy and set up various methods to try to dig through the northern border and connect thousands of tribes in the northern border.

After their failure, droughts and floods occurred frequently in the nine counties, and large-scale famine disasters were caused by the backlash of Qi. The reasons were complicated and not only due to the earth's atmosphere, mountains and rivers, and the weather and rain.

Therefore, even the masters of the DPRK and China will find it difficult to solve it.

But after the past few years, this backlash has eased.

Nowadays, the abnormal climate problem in Shanyang and other nine counties can be regarded as more of a natural phenomenon, which can be solved through human efforts.

“A big problem with the disasters in Shanyang in recent years is that it rains and heats in the same season, and the rainfall is basically concentrated in summer, causing floods and plagues. In winter and spring, there is no rainfall, leaving farmers in the most critical situation. It is impossible to farm during the spring plowing season.”

Fang Xueya took out a roll of maps from the bamboo basket.

"In the past few years, we at Longquan Road have repeatedly explored the geography, measured variables, and finally formulated this plan."

Su Hanshan and others came over to take a look, and their hearts skipped a beat.

Cut off the Fulong Mountains! !
The layout of this plan is indeed far-reaching. There are many places outlined in ink, but there is still only one most eye-catching place on the map.

It's the stroke that cuts off the Fulong Mountains, and the small words next to it.

The Fulong Mountain Range runs through several counties and stretches for tens of thousands of miles. Even if you start from the narrowest part of the entire mountain range, to achieve the so-called cutting off the veins, you will have to level off dozens of peaks.

Moreover, there are requirements for the time interval between each other and the direction of the mountain's collapse.

"Cut off the mountains, guide the sky wind, set up swords everywhere, and respond to the water source. Once the plan is successful, it is hard to say where the nine counties will be, but within Shanyang, there will be immediate results."

Fang Xueya said, "In the future, Shanyang will have good weather and fertile soil will return. The energy of our Longquan Dao will also conform to this trend of earth's recovery, and we will also be able to gain a sufficient foundation from our righteousness and reputation."

Su Hanshan rolled his eyes subconsciously, his eyes hesitant.

Although he was proficient in Feng Shui, he couldn't figure out the consequences of such a large-scale transformation of the terrain.

"If the disaster in the Nine Counties is a disaster left over by the Destiny Sect, then now, there is also chaos in the Demon Kingdom. Is it really a good time to change the climate?"

Su Hanshan asked questions from another angle.

"The Qi of King Liang and the Tianming Sect is completely rooted in the nine counties of the East China Sea, but the situation of those overseas monster clans is different."

Fang Xueya was confident, she lightly wiped her finger on the map and explained, "They are invaders. They should have been in conflict with the Qi Shu of the nine counties of the East China Sea. It was only because of successive years of disasters and a large number of spirits that were rampaging and turning into monsters that they were allowed to Seized the opportunity.”

"The Fulong Mountains are a major source of the infestation of spirits and monsters, and the place where luck favors them."

"If we can complete this plan, not only can we change the climate, we can even attack the demon country."

Situ Yuntao kept looking at the map and thinking deeply.

Although he does not understand Feng Shui, he has extensive experience and experience in governing a country. He is much more familiar with the weather, climate, terrain and customs of several counties related to the Fulong Mountains than Su Hanshan.

Moreover, he is in the realm of the Divine Palace, and he understands the way of earth fire well. He can also gain something by using earth fire to push back the power of water.

After a long time, he nodded.

"Senior is worthy of being a contemporary Taoist master of Longquan Tao. I think the plan on this picture is quite similar to those of the medieval sword masters."

The Longquan lineage is very good at transforming landscapes. In other words, this is a method that the master swordsmiths in ancient and medieval times must have practiced at the same time.

As the saying goes, making a sword and making a sword are one body and two sides.

Only by looking at the faces of the mountains and rivers, observing the mineral deposits of the universe, and taking advantage of the situation can the sword forged be able to gather the beauty of the mountains and rivers and combine the energy of heaven and man.

The reason why swordsmiths originate from armaments, but can also be vaguely transcendent and become a shortcut to reach officials and dignitaries, is because they are very good at using tailor-made sword-making methods to influence the spirit of fiefdoms and lords.

Most of this influence exceeds the swordsmith's own internal strength.

During the Five Dynasties period in the Middle Ages, the struggle between Wu and Yue, and the changes in the general trend of the world, there were rich and colorful deeds left by sword masters.

Since ancient times, there have been legends about swords hanging under bridges, swords hanging in caves, swords hanging in wells, burying swords in mountains, taking swords to open mountains, throwing swords into the water, turning them into dragons into the sea, etc.

It also evolved from the traces left by those ancient sword makers.

"With our current power base in Longquan Dao, it is still a bit difficult to accomplish this. I originally wanted to see if I could get some help from the imperial court."

Fang Xueya's eyebrows relaxed, "But there are old friends from the Tiandu Immortal Mansion here, and they also want to intervene in Shanyang's affairs. This is a God-given opportunity."

Situ Yuntao tapped his fingers on the table, thought for a moment, and said with a smile: "Although this is a good thing, it is not easy to do. I'm afraid it will take a long time to prepare before it can be launched."

"Senior, please move on and take a rest at the original county governor's mansion. I will gather all the people and discuss it in detail."

Fang Xueya rolled up the map and said: "It's really not urgent. I want to walk around in the next day or two. You should also have something to do. Just meet at the county governor's house tomorrow." The white-haired woman looked confused. He tolerates vulgar etiquette, but is actually very transparent. He either speaks straightforwardly without going into too much detail, or he also manages to be measured and make people feel relaxed.

Everyone said goodbye, and after she left, Situ Yuntao looked at his surroundings.

"It seems that I am still a step too late. You have just experienced a big battle!"

Dongfang Xin laughed and said: "But at least we won."

Su Hanshan handed over the command of the general: "Brother, take a look at this."

Red light shot out from Situ Yuntao's eyes, and he slowly scanned the token from top to bottom, then turned the token over and scanned it again.

Hey! ! !
With extreme observation, there seemed to be subtle runes flashing out from the token, following the two red lights and entering Situ Yuntao's eyes.

After a moment, Situ Yuntao chuckled.

"The first generation owner of this token has been dead for more than five hundred years, and the previous generation owner also died cleanly. The person holding the token recently has opened half of the token. It is not difficult to decipher it."

"The token is mainly used to control one thousand, two hundred and ninety-six magic machine puppets and activate the function of the treasure formation. It is only incidental. It also contains some machine magic notes."

"Huh? There is also a set of martial arts!"

Situ Yuntao closed his eyes and looked up into the air. Suddenly, a large number of words were imprinted in the air by the red light in his eyes, forming a series of pictures and texts on the martial arts mentality.

"The "Nine Yin Treasure Book", this set of Beidou Fist, actually awakens the starlight hidden in the earth. The starlight is the spark. If the starlight can rise and fall in and out of the underground, isn't it also a change in the way of earth fire..."

Situ Yuntao murmured to himself, falling into thoughts about martial arts for a while.

Dongfang Xin also fell in love with the set of ghostly prison eyes. Based on his own type of mysterious fetus, he seemed to have something to learn from.

After Su Hanshan read the full text, he focused on the annotations.

"This set of Nine Yin Treasures does not completely match the nature of the son of Prince Liang, but it was specially chosen for him by Prince Liang. It turns out that it also has a very deep intention..."

Those who can achieve great things may not necessarily need good character and morals, but they must not be timid, snarky, and stingy.

The second-generation Liang King who rebelled, although in terms of title, inherited the merits of the first-generation Liang King who founded the country.

But while he was able to guard the border of the East China Sea and inherit the old feud with overseas demon clans, he was also qualified to cooperate with the leader of Tianming to eliminate dissidents and accumulate the power of rebellion. He was truly talented and extraordinary.

The martial arts he chose for his children were all taught in accordance with their aptitude, hoping that they would be able to hone the skills that a king should have.

Unfortunately, after the defeat of Prince Liang's Mansion and the Tianming Sect, Xiang Tiange's martial arts path went further and further down the road.

It was with an eagerness for success that he turned to the evil way of training in the Nine Yin Treasure Book, but precisely because he chose the evil way, it unknowingly hindered his progress.

"The founders of this Nine Yin Book and those who have improved it in the past are somewhat deliberately trying to deceive people."

Su Hanshan thought silently, "Hiding the evil training methods in the orthodox training methods, from the practitioner's own body feeling, it seems that the evil training methods are more effective..."

However, since it is the enemy who is being tricked, then it is a good idea to trick him!

Situ Yuntao came back to his senses, put away the red light in his eyes, made several rapid changes in his handprints, and opened the token with a snap of his fingers.

A swirling passage emerged on the ground, and Su Hanshan and the others flew in.

What came into view was an extremely spacious black stone hall.

Seventy-two chains extended from the four walls, binding a god-general puppet with a triangle on his forehead in mid-air.

Su Hanshan squinted his eyes and felt a familiar aura: "Brother Sanxiao, is this your puppet body?"

The divine general in mid-air did not react at all, and seemed to have made up his mind to pretend to be dead.

Su Hanshan smiled: "Senior brother, if you blow up this puppet, will the demon trapped inside die?"

"This demon weapon is quite weak. After you blow it up, if you use your strength to destroy it for a while, you should be able to wear it to death."

Situ Yuntao said seriously, "Hey, according to the token, this puppet is also the control center of more than a thousand other puppets."

"No way. I don't think he is any better than the puppets next door. He can be the center even if he is so weak. How can he get to the top through his connections?"

Situ Yuntao played with the token and said thoughtfully, "Oh, no wonder it's so empty..."

"You're an uncle, don't slander me!"

The Three Owl God General suddenly raised his head, "I have been trapped for too long, and I was beaten by your human race just now. Did you forget it so quickly?"

"You are just making up rumors in front of me. You humans are so despicable..."

He seemed to have a belly full of curse words and was about to spew them out, but Situ Yuntao had already flicked the token in his hand and pierced it into the mark on his chest.

The three owl god general's words stopped suddenly, and his whole body started to tremble.

In the treasure space, more than a thousand other god general puppets were also awakened one after another, but at the same time as they were awakened, layers of hidden shackles were added to the core mark.

Even if you want to scold someone, you can't.

"what!"

Situ Yuntao laughed and said, "I am short of people under my command. These magic energy mechanisms can be used to death. These three owl gods will serve as the center. I can't kill them for the time being."

"Junior brother, if you insist on his death, I'll see if I can replace him after a while."

Su Hanshan said: "Then let's keep him for now and make a contribution."

When the three owl gods were trembling, the air flow caused the many balls piled in the surrounding corners to roll.

These spheres are about seven inches in diameter and seem to be made of some kind of crystal, with a seemingly smooth surface.

But Su Hanshan caught one, and after a moment of sensing, he noticed traces of very complex and delicate secret techniques in it.

It seems that as long as you input some instructions, it will perform calculations and give feedback.

"This is more suitable than I thought."

Su Hanshan used his true energy to explore, feeling a little surprised.

If there are these puppet spiritual cores to help support the Five Thunder Dream, Su Hanshan may be able to create more fixed images in the dream and let these spiritual cores take charge and maintain operation.

In this way, the interaction between the dreamer and the dream will be more diverse, and the test and exploration of earth energy can more fully adapt to the method route that Su Hanshan wants to explore.

But after playing for a while, he discovered a problem. The calculation feedback of these crystal balls seemed to only operate internally.

Unable to affect outside the crystal ball.

It would be useless to provide him with more vitality stimulation. Instead, it would trigger another mechanism, causing his excess vitality to drain into the air.

"These puppet soul cores are not extraordinary. They are very stable and confidential. However, because of this, the requirements for the operation steps are very strict. If you want to stimulate its effectiveness, you must have a complete puppet body for it to exert its effect. ”

Situ Yuntao felt very regretful, "What a pity. I don't have that much material at hand. Let alone equip one hundred thousand spiritual cores to build thousands of puppets, it may not be enough."

Dongfang Xin smiled and said: "After all, it is such a sophisticated spiritual core. Even if you just sell a batch, it will be a big harvest."

Su Hanshan was a little unwilling, spinning the crystal ball on his fingertips and staring at it with burning eyes.

"Speaking of which, the so-called machine puppets are actually similar to robots, but the vast majority of robots are not humanoid at all."

Su Hanshan recalled that when he was a child in his previous life, he read some popular science books about mine robots and minimally invasive surgical robots. What he imagined in his mind was a group of small and cute humanoid machines, having fun in the mines, swimming in the blood vessels, and working diligently. work.

Later, when I got a little older, I saw the true appearance of those robot "people", but I was quite disappointed.

In the practical field of robots, there are partners of all shapes and sizes, but few look like humans.

The development direction of Da Chu is completely different, probably because it wants to simulate human body meridians, apply human martial arts principles, etc.

The vast majority of intelligent machine puppets are humanoid.

Situ Yuntao saw him smile inexplicably. Although he didn't know what he was thinking of, he knew the purpose of what he said.

"Do you want to make some small non-humanoid puppets to reduce the material requirements?"

Situ Yuntao shook his head and said, "In that case, the puppet soul core's functions of processing instructions, collecting external information, and calculating and reflecting on its own may not be able to be fully utilized."

Su Hanshan asked: "Are there any talents in this field in Shenwei Mansion?"

"Hard to say."

Situ Yuntao said, "Our military strategists in Da Chu were all pursuing the art of destroying mechanisms efficiently."

"Alas, Buzhou Palace used to suppress or suppress the Leifu sect in the world. When it comes to the collection of classics on machine arts, they really have the largest collection of all kinds of detailed drawings and various possibilities that only exist in deductions. , they should all be there.”

When Su Hanshan heard this, his eyes lit up slightly.

"Lei Mansion..."
