Chang'an: Qinglian Sword Song

Chapter 42 A Long Night
In the evening, Yuan Fang came to visit the prison with a lunch box.

The lunch box is reserved for himself, and his brothers and sisters prepared ribs and stew for him, which smells sweet.It seems that Li Bai's place is regarded as a place for fishing and paddling by him, and he comes here every now and then to find Qingjing.

In return for Li Bai not exposing him, he would occasionally bring some outside news.

"Relax, Xun Qing is still alive."

Yuan Fang sat down on the chair opposite the prison cell, and while having dinner, said vaguely: "In the afternoon, someone saw him, but when the people from Honglu Temple passed by, they had already run away.

Strangely, the survivors of Anlefang seemed to have discussed it, saying that they did not see him.Someone pointed in the wrong direction on purpose, and it looked like they were going to be locked up for a night or two. "

"Ah."

Li Bai dozed off with his eyes closed on the bed and nodded slightly: "Thank you, I see."

Yuan Fang's chopsticks stopped for a moment, and he looked up suspiciously: "You don't seem to be worried about him at all? A normal person would probably have already collapsed in such a situation, right?"

"Well, maybe, that guy will cry so badly." Li Bai sighed softly, "But he will never give up, Yuan Fang."

"why?"

"Because he is very strong."

Li Bai told him seriously: "As strong as me."

Although for a long time, Xun Qing said that Li Bai gave him courage, but in fact it was not like that.

He is different from himself.

In other words, it has nothing to do with all geniuses.

It's not that he has a talent that is difficult for ordinary people, nor is he born with the ability to spread his wings and soar in the sky like a bird, but he struggled from the mud, gritted his teeth, shed blood and sweat, and reached the current situation after several ups and downs .

Such a winding road is far longer than the trajectory of any bird in the sky.

He has long been accustomed to the predicament of ordinary people.

He may cry, he may fear, he may doubt himself, and he must, as everyone does, but given him a little time, he will surely get back on his feet.

Even if you fall down again, it doesn't matter.

Even if he knows that he is just a mortal...

But as long as there are people standing by his side, he will not give up, as long as there are people who trust him, he will never let people down.

No matter how scared and anxious you are, when you face your friends and children, you will always show a bright smile.

It is precisely because of such people that there are beautiful things in this world.

"Besides, just stand up again, it's easier than waiting for the fruit on the tree to hit your head?"

Li Bai looked at the night sky that was gradually twilight beyond the bars.

Though the birds of the sky cannot be seen,

But in that darkness, there are still stars shining.

It's like the soul is burning.

Under the dim starlight, the rolling gate was lifted.

The unshaven man blew the dust flying in the air, raised the light, and illuminated the simple and dim mechanism workshop. Then, he stepped aside and said to the visitor wearing a cloak behind him:

"This is my machine workshop, the things are all second-hand from shopping, and they are barely usable, so don't dislike them.

I sleep on the second floor, and the toilet is outside. I will deliver the food every day, but don't expect it to be particularly delicious because of my craftsmanship. "

"Thank you, Brother Xintong."

The visitor took off his hood, revealed Xun Qing's face, and nodded sincerely to the helper.

Xin Tong, the former eldest disciple of Lord Daoxuan, sighed, and shook his head helplessly: "Where, for such an important matter, you are willing to trust me as a guy who ran away, I am too happy.

It's just, Mr. Lu, he really..."

Xun Qing didn't speak.

During the long silence, Xin Tong closed his eyes and sighed silently.

"Stop talking about that, come in."

He took Xun Qing into his humble workshop, and put the contents of the package on the table: "Everything you want is here... I have been looking for it for a long time at several second-hand dealers who collect waste. "

Inside the opened package was a dim mechanism core.

Fake organ nuclear.

With the advancement of Lu Daoxuan's plan, it seems that there are more and more fake organ cores circulating in the market, or... he finally stopped covering up.

And such a huge operation, I am afraid that no one can always hide in the dark, right?

"This thing is really made by Mr. Lu... Cough, did Mr. Wu make it?"

Xin Tong took a tool to check it carefully: "No matter what, I can't believe it. It is so fake. If it is fake, his research on organ nuclear is probably far beyond this era."

"It's not a fake."

Xun Qing took the mechanism core from his face, leaned close to it, and looked at it carefully: "What if, this thing was once real?"

Xin Tong was stunned and couldn't understand.

However, Xun Qing swiftly used the crude equipment in the mechanism workshop to make a basic three-legged mechanism beast, which is the foundation that every mechanism apprentice will learn at the beginning. For many years, Xin Tong felt that he could not catch up.

Core filling.

The organ law wakes up.

The three-legged mechanism beast suddenly convulsed quickly, and after a puff of blue smoke came out, there was a flash of overload inside, completely paralyzed.

Xin Tong shook his head: "It's useless, this kind of thing only responds to special mechanisms, and if you don't know the key, it will just be scrapped."

"At least, it's no different from the original organ core, isn't it?"

Xun Qing murmured softly: "I started to suspect a long time ago, but I didn't expect that Lu Gong would actually do this...Brother Xintong, he didn't imitate the mechanism cores, because these mechanism cores were originally real. of!"

Xin Tong was stunned.

"cocoa……"

"But a real agency won't be so rigid and sluggish, right? A real agency won't obey any orders to kill people.

Unless, it has been killed. "

Xun Qing sighed softly: "Gong Lu didn't imitate the organ core, he just erased the natural soul in the original organ core..."

Through a certain method, the organ core that was brewing a small miracle was completely destroyed, the original surging spirits were erased, and instead, human orders were implanted in it.

No more agility, but at the same time, they have become puppets that obey any order [-]%, even if they are driven to kill, destroy and destroy, they will not hesitate at all.

Because what he controls is not a smart mechanism beast, but an out-and-out living corpse!
Xin Tong froze in place.

incredible.

I only felt a chill rising from my heart, covering my whole body, like falling into an ice cave.

Once it is spread out, what a huge wave it will cause!

For a long time, the organists in Chang'an have been proud of the agility and intelligence of their creations. Some organists are not inferior to living people, and even more kind and compassionate than real human beings, because they were born from birth. On the first day, I never wanted to hurt anyone.

Especially through the guidance of the mechanism law, the mechanism master can resonate with the mechanism beast, and feel each other's emotions... Killing them is no different from killing other living things!
But what is even more terrifying is the dire consequences if such technology is misused.

Under the desire of the greedy, these gentle and kind organ beasts will become living corpses that perfectly obey all orders, and become tools for doing evil, causing such a huge massacre...

It was only now that Xin Tong truly believed in his heart that what Xun Qing said was true.

No, it should be said that he finally understood what Wu Yougong's confidence in controlling Chang'an was.

If there is such a technology, then it may not be a delusion to kill and transform the organ core of Fangshi.After such a long preparation and brewing, his power has covered every darkness in Chang'an...

At that time, all the cities and towns will be under his control, and Chang'an will also operate under his will.

The whole city will become his puppet.

"However, this is simply not possible."

Xin Tong shook his head absent-mindedly: "There are three divisions in the front, nobles in the back, and Weiyang Palace and Jinwuwei. If Wu Yougong can really master so many organs in Fangshi, he doesn't have to do so at all, he can directly Take control of Chang'an."

"It doesn't need to be all, as long as some important nodes are in your hands, it is enough."

Xun Qing silently calculated the result and shook his head: "Half, no, a third is not needed. If it is Lu Gong, with one-fifth of the core of Fangshi as the key node, then it is enough to push the entire city in reverse. Chang'an is running."

"Impossible. If you want to achieve such a delicate control, you must first master the operation of Chang'an. Through a large number of calculations and data, and with the timing, it can be effective."

Xin Tong categorically retorted: "The operation of Chang'an City has never been fixed. Even Yu Hengsi has been unable to predict it for so many years, let alone Wu Yugong."

"That's right, Chang'an's operation is unpredictable, and it contains the principles of heaven and earth, and it never depends on human will."

Xun Qing was silent for a long time, then suddenly asked: "But does it really have no formula? Brother Xin Tong, you should know, but you are just blinded by common sense."

It had never occurred to him, either.

Until, I got a reminder from Wu Yougong personally—even though Lu Daoxuan never planned to tell him the truth, when Xun Qing really did what he wanted, was no longer bound by common sense, broke the rules, and really pushed the door open. Behind the unrestricted gate, there is no cover for all the changes.

It is true that the operation of Chang'an has never been fixed, but that is not always the case.

——The only exception is when Fangshi was born!
In order to adjust the divisions of Fangshi, and to make room for the new Fangshi, it will inevitably follow the simplest and most efficient way to enter the established operating track...

And this is Wu Yougong's only chance!
It is also the only reason why he has been dormant and waiting for so many years!

Only at the moment when the newly born Fangshi is completely connected to Chang'an, can he complete his plan and truly control Chang'an in his own hands.

It was as if he was manipulating thousands of puppets to dance at the same time.

Let the world change under your fingers.

If in the past, Xun Qing would have been terrified and hesitant at the moment of enlightenment, but now what is surging in his heart is the joy and joy that he himself cannot understand.

You still have time!

Because time is on their side.

All this can be salvaged...

"Who is there!"

Sensing the sound outside the door, Xin Tong subconsciously turned around, grabbed the wrench, and put all his attention on guard.

And in the night outside the door, a pale mask slowly emerged, like a ghost.

Behind him, two huge carriages stopped slowly, and the silent ghosts took off the felt cloth, revealing the huge silent mechanism below, and moved into this narrow workshop, and quickly filled every space. It was stuffed to the brim.

"Mr. Xun, I have brought you everything you asked for."

The leader, the white mask, said hoarsely: "Master Huang Ban said, there is only so much we can do, I hope you can keep your promise."

"Please don't worry, the red-faced revenge, I will take back from Wu Yougong instead of the ghost market."

Xun Qing calmly agreed.

So, the ghosts nodded, took one last look at him, and turned to leave.

All that remains are the remains of institutions scattered all over the place—they were brought from Xun Qing’s workshop by the ghosts of the ghost city. Fragmentary parts were delivered to him again.

With the operation of the boom and tools, the armored giant, which had been silent for many years, slowly returned to its original outline.

It curls up in this narrow workshop, like a baby in an embryo sleeping peacefully in its ovary.

From the silence, a huge power is brewing.

"Is this your plan?"

Xin Tong was stunned and shook his head: "It's exactly the same as your teacher, Xun Qing, don't think about it, there is no mechanism core that matches it, such a big thing can't move!"

"No, actually there are."

Xun Qing looked up at the giant's stern face, and smiled: "If it can't move without the organ core, then I am the organ core.

If it needs a soul, use me. "

"Are you crazy?"

Xin Tong was furious: "That will burn your nerves and brains! Simply using mechanism laws to control such a huge mechanism is simply not what humans can bear!"

"That doesn't matter."

Xun Qing replied calmly, "I just don't want to be the one who can only run away when my friends are fighting..."

Under the dim light, the young mechanism engineer raised his hands, took off his coat, and exposed his body—even his arms, legs, and the cruel traces outlined with ink lines on his shoulder blades !

When he looked back and looked at Xin Tong, he showed a provocative cheerful expression: "It's been so many years since I finished the mechanism master exam, how much does Senior Brother Xin Tong remember about the bone-regeneration method in the six skills of mechanism?"

In the dead silence, Xin Tong looked at him blankly.

I just feel that the horror of my whole life seems to be used up in this short night,

He understood what Xun Qing meant, he should have angrily scolded this lunatic for wanting to die and not dragging him down.

But for some reason, I couldn't help laughing along with him.

"rest assured."

The mechanism engineer who also escaped from the battle once rolled up his sleeve, picked up the tool again, and told him: "It is more than enough for you."

The long night begins from now on.
