"Why, do you know what it is?" The old man raised his eyebrows.
"Uh," Gong Shufeng realized that he had said something wrong and quickly said, "No, I just think it seems to have a hidden secret."
"Of course, ten-year-old yellow wood is used as the base, and then hollow white wood is used for nesting and carving. The outside is wrapped with copper paper to keep out moisture. It is not an exaggeration to say that the idea is exquisite." The other party chuckled, with unconcealable pride in his tone. "This is a good thing that only the Privy Council has. In the entire camp, I am the only one who can repair it."
"You seized it from the Privy Council?"
"That's not the case." Mr. Hu curled his lips, "These are gifts from passers-by. There are many similar abandoned things in the suburbs of Shenzhou. Have you seen that big thing? It also came from Shenzhou. Got it here."
So Gong Shufeng immediately understood the meaning of his words.
These are all leftovers from the Ten Provinces War!
Even if the rebels decided to stay in Liuzhou, those who were sent across the Shenliu border did not forget this group. They spontaneously support these people, including books, magic weapons, or money and food. This can also explain why they have been able to persist in using caves as their base.
"You try injecting Qi." Mr. Hu continued, "I can't teach you this thing, but you have awakened the ability to sense Qi, so you should naturally know how to do it."
Gong Shufeng nodded and introduced the air into the cylinder.
The latter soon fluoresced slightly.
"Not bad, it seems to be working normally." Mr. Hu rubbed his hands, "In the past, if you wanted to verify it, you could only ask the leader to intervene, but now we can finally let her rest. Boy, follow me from today on and learn two lessons. It will only be good for you to go to Jinxia City again."
Gong Shufeng had suspected something before, but now he was completely convinced that the "chief forger" in front of him was not a Qi senser, but an ordinary person.
But that's what surprised him.
How can ordinary people cultivate magic weapons well
For example, on the Tianquan Eye in my hand, there are obvious signs of bumps on the copper skin. It was probably due to the impact when it was dropped, causing the copper skin to sink in and crushing the inner talisman. It is not difficult to knock the outer layer flat again, but the key step of carving the talisman must be completed by a person who senses Qi. And he actually repaired the damaged talisman without being able to sense Qi
This is the first time I have heard of this kind of thing!
“So can you copy it?”
Unconsciously, he used honorifics.
"No, I've tried it." The old man shook his head, seeming a little dissatisfied, "If the talisman is too damaged, it will not be effective even if it is repaired. This is why you came to the workshop to help me test whether each repair product is still useful. But sooner or later I will find out the secrets of the magic weapons, and it won’t be impossible to imitate them by then.”
Gong Shufeng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, this result is still within my own common sense.
If even ordinary people can imitate magic weapons, it will definitely be shocking news to the major institutions and families.
He put down Tianquanyan and walked curiously to the machine beast.
This was the secret weapon that was described in the intelligence as being invulnerable and powerful, and it was also the main reason for the defeat of the Ten Provinces Allied Forces. The Jinxia Army called it Xuanwu, while the defeated people called it a bipedal monster.
Now it stood quietly in place, allowing him to look at it from a close distance. It was not as fierce and terrifying as the intelligence reported. Even because the leg joints were severely damaged, it could not even rely on its own strength to remain stable. Several wooden sticks had to be used to support the lower plate to ensure that it would not fall.
The machine beast's body looked dirty and dirty. Even though it had been cleaned, the dirt still left indelible traces on it. Especially in the control area, the seat made of vines was filled with sand and dead branches. God knows under what circumstances it was abandoned by the Jinxia Army and dismantled by the migrants before being brought to the rebels.
"Can you fix this big guy too?"
"It's basically impossible." Mr. Hu sighed. "I have never seen the magic weapon it uses. If you don't know the principle, there is no way to repair it. In addition, its joints are also very strange. Just rely on ordinary screws to fix it." Hepisuo can't drive such a heavy mechanism at all. Why, are you interested in it? "
Gong Shufeng nodded without hesitation.
He didn't lie about this, and he didn't need to lie.
Mr. Hu smiled nonchalantly, "After all, this thing is a masterpiece of Jinxia City. I'm afraid any mechanic who stands in front of it will be so surprised that he can't move his legs. Boy, this shows that you have the talent to be a mechanic." "
"What about you?" Gong Shufeng asked, "Are you also from a family of mechanics?"
"I am different from those people who are born high in the clouds." The old man hummed, "Although I was quite famous in Huiyang City before I followed the leader, and everyone respectfully called me Master Hu, but that was all because of I hammered it out with hammer after hammer. If you don’t believe me, ask the blacksmiths in the capital. Who doesn’t know that the hatchets made by Lao Hu are the sharpest?”
So the chief forger of the rebels was actually just a blacksmith
When will ordinary blacksmiths be able to repair magical instruments and talismans
Gong Shufeng didn't quite believe the other party's answer, but it was not convenient to delve into the matter, so he didn't pursue the question any further.
In the next week, his life became quite stable. During the day, he came to the cave workshop to help Mr. Hu check the repair results of the magical instruments, and at night, he read books and newspapers in the rest area.
The most important equipment of the rebels is the air rifle left behind by the Jinxia Army. During the Battle of Ten States, many damaged guns were abandoned in the countryside. They were either missing barrels or firing devices. The people in the workshop carefully dismantled these weapons and reassembled them into a usable gun. Except for the irreplaceable gas tank and inflatable magic weapon, Mr. Hu was able to restore the other parts one by one. As he said, the iron block seemed to have come to life under his hammer, changing its shape as it continued to rise and fall, and finally settled on the appearance he needed.
Even Gongshu Feng was impressed by such skills. He had to admit that this person had reached perfection in casting. Even if he were put in the role of Gongshu, he would be someone hired with a lot of money. After all, there are only a few people who feel Qi. The bones and trunks of the family are still composed of a large number of craftsmen who cannot sense Qi.
He even had the idea that if one day he could complete the mission and return to Xu State, he would definitely take this person with him.
Gong Shujin still only appeared at night, and the time he spent with him became shorter and shorter. Gongshufeng asked him more than once whether he was coerced by the rebels, but the answer he received was no. When asked about what the reconnaissance team was doing, his younger brother remained silent. He just told him that he had not forgotten the mission of the public loser, and that it would not be too long before he left here.
On the eighth day, Gong Shufeng noticed something strange.
People in the rest area were taken away one by one. Sister Ma also took off her white robe and picked up the shovel.
Gong Shujin appeared in front of him during the day for the first time.
"Brother, today is the time to transfer. You should go to Jinxia City."
