Ten states

The crisp cracking sound was extremely ear-piercing in this dark secret room, and the disc that made the sound trembled slightly visible to the naked eye.And Deacon Tang, who had been sticking his ears to the disc all the time, seemed to have been stabbed in his ears with a sword. His eyes, which were originally closed, suddenly opened and bulged outwards, and he opened his mouth wide to let out a scream. He shouted, but before he could really make a sound, his whole body went limp and his head fell to the ground.

"What's the matter? What's that sound? How did the silver plate break?" In the darkness behind him, the younger voice was also a little surprised.

"It was discovered." The older voice was concise.

"Old Tang..." The owner of the younger voice seemed to go up and check it out, and the result was immediately available. "Dead. I don't even have a chance to react and resist. What kind of method is this? No matter how powerful the bullfighting across the mountain is, it can't hit here... The ear orifice is broken, but it doesn't look like it was shocked to death. After all Is it someone from the Tang family who died so easily?"

The mature voice thought for a while, and said: "...it should be a magical method of Daoism, and the sound is mixed with an ultimate move directed at the soul. If Old Tang might have had time to react at other times, even if he was hit He wouldn’t be killed directly. But he himself was concentrating on listening, which means that he completely let go of his spiritual altar, and he was no different from an ordinary person, so he was killed by a single blow.”

"A killing move directed at the soul? The supernatural method? Is it that kid?"

"...I don't know, but that kid is calm and will not act rashly. If he does, there must be follow-up means..."

"...How to do?"

"...Let's do it directly."

"...Do you really want to do this? This is different from what was discussed before."

"There is no need to discuss everything before doing it. Now that we have been discovered, instead of taking it slowly, it is better to give him the result directly."

"... Even if we want to do something, isn't it too early? Zhang Yuanling must not have gone far, at least he will still be in Luoshui City. That is the biggest variable."

"...A variable that can be predicted is not a variable. It depends on how we grasp it." The vigorous and mature voice paused, as if laughing silently, with a strange excitement in the voice. "And it's interesting to have variables. I'm looking forward to the variables."

"Hey. Good. You have the final say. You are in charge."

All the people from the Shenji Hall standing in the distance were called over.

Ling Wusheng's face was extremely ugly. He pointed to the broken bowl-shaped mechanism on the ground, and glanced at Sectional Master Zhou and several deacons with eyes that seemed to stab people to death.Ask: "What is this? Why is it here?"

Ling Wusheng didn't understand mechanisms, and he didn't have Mingyue's Buddhist supernatural powers, but he instinctively sensed something was wrong from Mingyue's behavior just now, so he asked a little.After careful observation, I immediately understood the purpose of this bowl-shaped organ.Using Zhongtong's channel to eavesdrop on the sound not far away is actually not a mysterious method. There are similar arrangements in many brothels. Although the effectiveness of this mechanism is undoubtedly a thousand times stronger, the basic truth inside It's the same, there are almost no people in Yingshanwei who don't understand these insidious methods.Ling Wusheng just didn't pay attention before.With Mingyue's reminder, I immediately understood after careful analysis.

"This...this is..." Sweat rolled down Sectional Master Zhou's forehead, he stared at the fragments in the ground with his eyes wide open, his whole body froze, and he looked like a bird. Transformed meatballs fresh from the broth.

"This is the Treasure Bowl. Who put this in there?" Chief Craftsman Cheng recognized this thing at a glance and shouted.

Chief Craftsman Cheng was the only one who called out loudly, and Ling Wusheng's eyes immediately fell on him.Although in terms of strong calculation logic and rationality, Chief Craftsman Cheng knew that the leader of Yingshanwei in front of him was actually only worth half a year's income, so it was no big deal.But as soon as he was stared at by that horrifying gaze, an animal's instinctive fear emanated from the bottom of his heart, and he couldn't help taking a few steps back and explaining: "This... This thing was originally a mechanism we used to monitor. It has just been produced by our Qingzhou sub-rudder a few years ago. It is the two most successful works of the Qingzhou sub-rudder together with "Guotian Shenyan". ..." Seeing that this explanation only made the dangerous aura in Ling Wusheng's eyes more and more intense, Chief Craftsman Cheng immediately pointed at Hall Master Zhou and shouted: "I don't know why this thing is installed here, he is the Hall Master He sure knows."

Section Master Zhou couldn't even get angry, the Section Master was the nominally highest position in the Qingzhou sub-helm.In any case, these responsibilities should fall on his head at least in name, but in fact he was really helpless, so he could only reply in a weak voice: "... Deacon Tang should have done it, and you know it, Mr. Ling, He is a member of the Tang family. Although he is a deputy in name, he can actually control anyone. How can I ask him what he wants to do..."

"Where are the others?" Ling Wusheng glanced at him, and all the people in Shenji Hall who caught this look couldn't help but tremble.

"...should...should...should be eavesdropping. These earth listening treasure bowls can be installed at will, but you can find the eavesdropping position just by following the connected copper wires..."

Sectional Master Zhou was right, following the copper wire connecting the ground listening treasure bowl, it was easy to find the underground secret room where Deacon Tang was eavesdropping on, and Deacon Tang was indeed there, but it had become a silent place. corpse.

Seeing the corpse with bleeding ears and wide-eyed eyes, Ling Wusheng's gloomy face was even more gloomy, as if he could squeeze ink from the wrinkles between his brows. He glanced at the corpse standing outside the door. Everyone in Shenji Hall looked at Mingyue and asked: "Miss Mingyue, does this person have any accomplices?"

"How do I know. I didn't know who he was before, but I could feel that someone was eavesdropping." Mingyue shook her head. "I found twelve of these things in the group of organs over there. The intervals between each of them are about the same, and the distribution is very even. According to the law of the distribution, I guessed that there should be one in the resting place just now. .”

The Tianhe Ghost put his ears on the discs on the wall with great interest. "Hey, this thing is really useful. It can still hear the sound from such a distance, and it doesn't use Taoism or supernatural powers. It's purely with the power of mechanism and iron stone. It's really hard for unfamiliar people to find it." He recalled After a while, then shook his head. "But we haven't seen that big bowl before... I think it's more like a big umbrella. We don't know it, but those people in Shenjitang can see it at a glance. This Deacon Tang didn't place it in those conspicuous places, probably because he was afraid of being seen by those people. So this matter should be his own doing, at least the people in Shenji Hall should not know about it."

But Ling Wusheng's face was still as sinking as water.Said: "Miss Mingyue said that the area where Mr. Wuji went was full of such eavesdropping agencies. He knew in advance the place where Mr. Wuji and the others might go to discuss secrets, so he could make such an arrangement. Mr. Wuji said The practice is an absolute secret, and very few people know it. It is definitely not something that he, an outside deacon of the Tang family, can clearly know. There must be a bigger background behind this deacon Tang, maybe he is just one of the small characters... .”

Mingyue said: "Don't you Yingshanwei have dog guards who are good at tracking? Can you understand by asking two of you to come here and have a look?"

"This time we didn't have enough manpower. Master Wuji's mission is very important. We didn't let too many people participate in it, and there were not even a few people around this hall of magic, just because we were afraid that the news would be leaked. But now we look at it like this Come......"

"Wait a minute!" Mingyue suddenly raised her hand to signal.Ling Wusheng stopped talking in astonishment, and then saw Mingyue close her eyes.It seems that he felt the atmosphere in the secret room around him with his heart.When she opened her eyes again, a chill flashed in her star pupils, and her figure had rushed out of the secret room in a flash, and she only said one sentence to Ling Wusheng: "It would be fine if it was just leaking the news. "

At this time, Nangong Wuji and Xiaoxia lost their way in the huge Tiangong mechanism group as large as a town.

I don't know if it's because Nangong Wuwei thinks that such a trivial matter as finding the way can't be difficult for his elder brother and Xiao Xia, who has experienced many troubles. Strictly speaking, this piece of organization is indeed not too big.So he led the way like this and left silently.And when Xiaoxia and Nangong Wuji wandered around among the densely packed, uneven heights, strange shapes and seemingly random structures, they couldn't find a way out.

"Since I was trapped on the thirteenth floor of Chengtianjing for a full month before I found my way out more than 40 years ago, I felt that there was no place in the world where I could be trapped. Looking at the seemingly endless organs and buildings around him, Nangong Wuji couldn't help shaking his head and smiling wryly.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Wuji, I didn't pay attention to where I came from before..." Xiao Xia also touched her head and smiled wryly.

"It's okay. It's not bad to wander around here by the way. Those outside were deliberately arranged by the people of Shenjitang, so there's nothing to see."

If it is true, it is definitely impossible for this mechanism to really trap the two of them.Not only Xiao Xia can use the earth escape technique to leave at will, even if it is shaped by kneading soil and transformed into a [-]th earth armor soldier, it is not a problem to use violence to smash all the way and rush out directly, even Nangong Wuji is not an ordinary old man with no power to restrain a chicken It is not difficult to fly out from high to high.

However, Xiaoxia is definitely not good at leaving Nangong Wuji to go out on his own. These heavenly mechanisms are expensive, and it took countless minds and energy from Shenjitang to create them. It doesn't matter if they are smashed casually. The key is that Nangong Wuji himself doesn't seem to be in a hurry to go out. Meaning, it's really like an ordinary old man who got lost in it, walking in it with his hands behind his back, if he came to a dead end, turn around and change.

"...Three or 40 years ago, someone who said that such a large-scale institution of gold, iron, wood and stone would be built by people would definitely be called a fool's dream. I remember that at that time, Qiao Jinmen was not even a third-rate gang. It is necessary to make some doll weapons and sell them in the market to make ends meet. Now the Shenjitang has not only achieved such a scene, but after a few years, institutions of this scale will be spread all over the world, and even bigger and bigger. Ten times more is not difficult...I don't know what kind of scene it will be..."

Hearing Nangong Wuji's emotion, Xiao Xia couldn't help asking. "Mr. Wuji, since you attach so much importance to these organs and think that they are something that can revolutionize the world, why don't you take them under your control?"

"I'm just an old man in the mountains who has returned to the countryside. How can I control these incredible things?" Nangong Wuji shook his head with a smile.

Xiao Xia couldn't help shaking her head and smiling when she heard this.In the few conversations in the past two days, the word "He De He Neng" has been uttered several times in Nangong Wuji's mouth. I don't know whether it is because he himself is too unconstrained by fame, or other people have too high expectations and respect for him. too big.But even if it is true that on the surface, the old man has indeed resigned from all positions and retired to the countryside.He doesn't ask much about world affairs, but his huge reputation and influence are still not reduced by half, it's just a hall of magic.Even Nangong Wuji regarded it as a fat pig that could be slaughtered at any time. If he really wanted it, it would be a matter of saying a few words.Xiao Xia couldn't help but said: "...Mr. Wuji, why should you be humble, in fact, as long as you are willing..."

"Your thinking is almost the same as that of the second and third child. I really don't know whether to say that their vision is as high as yours or that your vision is as low as theirs." Nangong Wuji glanced at Xiao Xia with a half-smile.

"Mr. Wuji was joking, I just asked casually." Xiao Xia waved her hands repeatedly.He was really just asking casually, Nangong Wuji and Nangong Wuwei are both in charge of Yingshanwei, one of the most powerful people in the world, he never thought of being able to compare with these two people in knowledge.

"This mechanism is very likely to change the world. You are right. But why did the world change? Is it really just because of these non-spiritual gold, iron, wood and stone? The root is still that thing. People's hearts Ah. It is human beings who molded these devoid of spirituality, metal, iron, wood and stone, and it is human beings who will drive these things in the future. On a larger scale, this is an inherent evil in the general trend of human nature." Nangong Wuji sighed and patted his side organ wall. "There will be more and more of this thing in the future, and it will become stronger and stronger. In the end, it will be so strong that those delusional people think that they can control the universe with this thing, and they can do anything. It is the same source as She Xiaodang's thought of planning this heavenly mechanism. Even if I had the foresight to stop this matter directly, you will think that this Tiangong plan still has endless mechanisms. Will it be gone? The way is lost early, and people's thoughts are ingenious and want to be confused. Whether it is Fang Zhifang, Qiao Jinmen, or other smart people in the world, they will always come up with similar ideas and make similar things, but it will be later. It's just time."

"Besides, it's not all useless for this thing to come out at this time. At least for now, when Sidi is invading south, you can use this mechanism to resist one or two. And letting the Tang family actually control this technique is also to make the best use of it." The Tang family is known all over the world for their unruly and murderous nature. They are just able to suppress the random thoughts of Xiao Xiao's generation. The key is that they actually know how to advance and retreat very well, which is far more suitable than anyone else in the world..."

Speaking of this, Nangong Wuji was startled for a moment, then shook his head and smiled: "Actually, my tricky idea is also the magic barrier of 'thieves' in human nature, and it may not be much better than what the second child did before. It's just that There will be turmoil in the world, and I am always worried about the people and affairs of the Nangong family. Over the past few decades, I have brought this big family out of nothing. If you have troubles in your heart, you can only enter the world of mortals, and you are willing to endure this calamity... In this regard, Daoist Qingfeng, you are blessed. Without father, mother, or family, you can be unrestrained and free. But it’s a great blessing that we people can’t even imagine.”

Xiao Xia smiled wryly and was speechless.In the eyes of many people, his life experience is miserable, but in the eyes of Nangong Wuji, the most respected person in the world, it is a rare blessing.

"But Daoist Qingfeng, think about it yourself, is there anyone or anything you can't let go of?" Nangong Wuji suddenly asked. "If there is, can you give up and give up? That is the real freedom."

Xiao Xia's heart was moved by this question, and she was about to open her mouth to answer, when she suddenly felt strange vibrations coming from the ground around her.

It is not surprising that there are vibrations. Many parts of this heavenly mechanism are in operation, and the low noises and tremors have never stopped. It's just that the vibrations from the ground are a little different at this time, as if they are moving toward Here comes quickly.

With a bang, the organ wall not far away suddenly shattered, and a swiftly galloping organ beast slammed into the two of them.This mechanical beast is about twice the size of a buffalo, with three pairs of mechanical legs on the left and right, and its head is just a huge rotating drill bit.It turned out that the strange vibration that was approaching was actually the footsteps of this mechanism beast, and judging from the drill bit on the head, not to mention the outer wall of the mechanism wrapped in wood, even a rockery would be crushed by the impact.

Xiaoxia's hand was reaching for the talisman, but Nangong Wuji who was next to him reacted much faster than him. He stretched out his hand and pulled him, and the two barely avoided the impact of this mechanism beast.And just as he passed by this mechanism beast, the long sword on Nangong Wuji's waist was unsheathed, turned into a few stars and lightly landed on the mechanism beast's two feet.

There was another bang, and the mechanism beast that rushed out continued to shatter the opposite mechanism wall, but at the same time, the two feet on its side also fell from the roots. It also fell to the ground along with the collapsed debris.The intact foot on the other side was still moving rapidly, but the dead creature couldn't get up by itself no matter what.

"Oh, this is another rule specially arranged by them. Do you want me to try the function of this heavenly mechanism beast?" Nangong Wuji put his long sword into its sheath silently, looking at the knocked out passage, He said calmly as usual.

"Of course not! Mr. Wuji, be careful!" Xiao Xia shouted anxiously.He raised his hand and pointed at the ground. Under the vibration of the True Talisman in the Lingtai, a magic spell was generated in the void, and the soil on the ground surged and gathered, and within a few breaths, a huge clay puppet was condensed. It is the earth element congenital talisman of the first rank, the Wu earth armor soldier mantra.

The organ beast that bumped into it was obviously useless, and the skills Nangong Wuji showed were far beyond his expectations, but Xiao Xia still used this innate magic that cost a lot of power of the Universal True Talisman, because he could Feeling the tremors on the ground are becoming more and more obvious, that is, more and bigger mechanism beasts are rushing here.
