Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 1170 The Qinglong Mechanism
  "But..." Gu Xun changed the topic and turned to look at the bronze door again, "It doesn't matter what you want to do, don't put yourself in danger again."

"If I weren't here today, the chances of you and Aci surviving would be slim."

Hearing this, Ayan couldn't help but recall the harm that dragon roar had caused her not long ago...

There was no substantial physical damage, but after facing the dragon's roar, her brain seemed to have been hit hard, and she fell into a trance.

Then she lost any sense of the outside world, and there was only blood red left in the world of thinking.

After that, the desire for destruction arises from deep within.

Furious, frantic, bloodthirsty...

Ayan guessed that if he did not receive treatment in the future, he would most likely fall into madness and fight Aci desperately.

Recalling what happened and the possible outcome at that time, Ayan couldn't help but shudder.

"I didn't expect, I didn't expect that there would be such... strange power in the Mo family's forbidden area."

She had already anticipated the dangers in the Mo family's forbidden area, but she was confident that she could make this trip safely.

The Mohist machine is indeed famous all over the world, but the most praised part of the machine technique is that it is easy to copy.

The strength of one machine beast is really not worth mentioning in the eyes of real masters, but the Mo family can make ten or even a hundred. At that time, it is a force that cannot be ignored.

Not to mention other mechanical creations. No one is afraid of one or two crossbows. If you have hundreds or thousands of them, you will wish you had two more legs.

This kind of convenience that can be quickly reproduced cannot be compared with martial arts warriors who often need more than ten years or even more time to develop and hone their skills.

Of course, compared with people, institutions also have a lot of shortcomings, such as rigidity.

With the strength of Ayan and Aci, there are not many places in the world where they can stay.

As for the Mohist Forbidden Area, a dangerous area that relies solely on traps and hooks, it can only be said that there is some trouble for the two truly top experts, but as long as they are careful, the probability of death is really low.

But how could Ayan have guessed that there was a special power that did not belong to the mechanism technique hidden at the bottom of this forbidden area?
  Her miscalculation should be said to be reasonable, but Gu Xun did not accept it.

"You came to the forbidden area to explore the secrets of Canglong Qisu, so you should be prepared to face dangers beyond the Mohist organization." Although he didn't like preaching to children, Gu Xun still reminded him in a gentle tone, "You are very smart. You won’t be unaware of this, it’s just that you have been too careless because of the smooth sailing for a long time.”

"In other words, too confident."

She is naturally intelligent, has a prominent family background, and has outstanding strength at a young age. The only flaw is her congenital physical deficiencies - this has been completely made up for some time ago. Given Ayan's conditions, it is normal for her to be overconfident.

This is not a problem that can be avoided simply by relying on good brains, it is almost bound to exist.

But for this reason, Gu Xun didn't think it was too serious a problem. It was enough to give the child a few tips and give him some ideas.

"..." Ayan lowered his eyes, nodded slowly after a moment of silence, "Indeed, I am too arrogant."

In fact, even without Gu Xun's reminder, she could figure it out by herself in retrospect.

Smart people can also make fools, but as long as they don't die, they can gain wisdom every time they suffer.

On the contrary, stupid people often avoid eating and not remembering to fight.

But having said that, the consequences of smart people being stupid are often more serious, and there is little opportunity to change. In this regard, stupid people take advantage.

"Be careful in the future." Gu Xun also stopped and said nothing more. He turned around and walked out, waving at the same time for A Yan and A Ci to follow.

Seeing this, Ayan couldn't help but show some doubts. He stepped up to follow and asked, "Aren't you going to go in?" Ayan, who was following Gu Xunshen, couldn't see his father's expression and only heard a chuckle. And the back of the head shakes slightly.

"There's no need to go in."

"That door involves Qinglong. No matter who opens it, he will be attacked - of course, maybe someone from the Mo family can open the door safely."

"I don't care about Qinglong's attack, but..." Gu Xun raised his head and glanced at the top of his head, "Forcibly entering will only completely activate the Qinglong and destroy the machine city."

"There's no need to go to this step. It's enough for me to know what I want to know through the door."

After explaining the reason for not entering, Gu Xun smiled and said with emotion, "Qinglong, the mechanism, is worthy of being the leader of the four spirits of the Mo family!"

Ah Ci followed her sister step by step, nodding in agreement with her uncle Gu.

He didn't understand anything about Qinglong or the Mechanic City, but that door felt very scary to him. As long as he didn't have to open the door, he supported it.

After hearing these words, Ayan's heart was flooded with thoughts.

Qinglong?

The legendary leader of the four spirit beasts of the Mohist Mechanism, and the most mysterious Mechanism Qinglong?
  What almost killed her was the power of Qinglong?
  How could that be the power of the machine beast?

……

Doubts like these came to mind one after another.

After pondering for a while, Ayan first asked the most basic question, "Are you saying that the Qinglong Agency really exists?"

Among the four spirit beasts of the Mohist Mechanism, Suzaku, White Tiger, and Xuanwu were all confirmed by Luo Wang to exist. Only Qinglong was always just a legend, and there was no real evidence to prove its existence.

As he walked, Gu Xun replied with a smile, "Otherwise, what was the source of that strange roar?"

"The Green Dragon of the Mechanism exists, and it is located in the deepest part of the forbidden area. It is also the lowest level of the Mechanism City. It is part of the overall structure of the Mechanism City...the part that stabilizes the foundation."

"But... the attack I received just now is not something that a machine beast can do, right?"

"Qinglong is not a pure machine beast, but a more special kind of creation, so its power is far beyond ordinary machine beasts." After Gu Xun explained, he added another sentence, "Much stronger!"

Ayan didn't participate in Loulan's trip, so Gu Xun just gave a vague explanation. If it were Xue Nu who asked, Gu Xun would be able to give a more intuitive answer - Qinglong is an existence similar to the Demon God of War.

The mechanism technique is only the part that constructs its skin, and the key flesh and blood is the power of the fallen stars.

Well... Qinglong's extraordinary power may not come from the fallen stars, and it doesn't give Gu Xun the same feeling as the Demon God of War.

But it must be related to Canglong Qisu.

Ayan did not directly feel the power of stars like Gu Xun, but she also made a guess similar to Gu Xun's result:

"That's... Canglong Qisu's power?"

"Probably..." Gu Xun gave an ambiguous answer.

It was indeed a power very similar to the power of the stars he had experienced, but whether it could represent the essence of Canglong Qisu was still unknown.
