I have indeed heard of the legend of Yanshi. Legend has it that Yanshi is the most powerful master of mechanism in the world. His mechanism is close to, even reaching the level of myth. According to legend, even Mozi and Lu Ban can't compare to him.
"Liezi Tangwen" records: King Mu of Zhou went to the west for inspection. On the road, he met a craftsman named Yanshi who volunteered his skills.
Yanshi presented King Mu of Zhou with a doll that could sing, dance, and even look like a human being. Master Yan took all the dolls apart. Although the internal organs, external joints, and fur in the doll's abdominal cavity were all fakes, there were many of them. When broken down, they were no different from real people. After putting these things back together, the song and dance artist returned to his original state.
King Zhou Mu tried to remove the heart, and the doll's mouth could not speak; if the liver was removed, the doll's eyes could no longer see; if the kidneys were removed, the doll's legs could no longer walk. King Zhou Mu couldn't help but sigh: "Can human skills have the same effect as the nature of heaven and earth?"
I have always listened to this story as a myth. It was impossible for an intelligent robot to appear in that era, right? Moreover, after King Zhou Mu returned to court with the puppet, nothing more happened. Where did the puppet go and what was Yanshi doing? There are no more legends to look up.
I was silent for a moment before saying, "Even if you are half-convinced!"
Gongshu Siyue said: "The legend of Yanshi is indeed a bit exaggerated, but our Gongshu machine skills can create puppets that walk on their own, just like what you have seen."
Gongshu Siyue said in a deep voice: "The thing inside this puppet is the core secret of the secret technique of the mechanism. The secret technique of the Gongshu family must not be lost. I must find someone to pass on the secret technique."
Tao Xiyu couldn't help but his eyes lit up when he heard that Gongshu Siyue was going to pass on the secret art of the organ: "Senior, what are the conditions for passing on the secret art of the organ?"
Meng Tiandong and I frowned at the same time. Tao Xiyu was trying to create a secret technique! If the secret of the core of the machine technique is really lost overseas, it will definitely be sold for an astronomical price. There is no way that the Wugui Sect would let this piece of fat go.
When Meng Tiandong and I looked at each other again, there was a look of wariness in both of our eyes. This wariness was not only for Tao Xiyu, but also for each other.
In addition to me and Ye Xun, the Demon Sect, Wugui Sect, and even Black Butterfly all want the secret technique. Gongshu Siyue's simple words turned the three of us from collaborators to competitors.
All three of us stopped talking because none of us wanted to let the other know our intentions.
There was sadness in Gongshu Siyue's voice: "Actually, none of you are suitable to get the mechanism technique. You are not craftsmen, and you can't make puppets even if you get the secret technique, but I don't have time anymore."
"I have spent thousands of years here. Even if there is a glimmer of survival through public transmission of secret techniques, I will not be able to hold on for long. I am afraid that I will pass away before I finish describing all the secret techniques. Now, the only way to pass on the mechanism technique is , it’s you who took me out of this secret cave and brought me to the city. The Gongshu family’s classics are hidden there. If you take away the classics and find the heirs of the Gongshu family, I will give up.”
I looked at Xiao Zhujian, my brows getting tighter and tighter - Gongshu Siyue's words always made me feel extremely dangerous, as if she was using the secrets of the mechanism to guide us towards a death trap.
I was silent for a moment and then said: "I am afraid that I will not be able to fulfill my senior's wish, so I would like to ask my senior to allow us to leave. I promise not to reveal any secrets."
Gongshu Siyue said: "It's a pity. You are the most suitable person to find the secret technique of the mechanism."
I continued to shake my head and said: "The younger generation is less talented and less knowledgeable, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to fulfill the senior's wish."
Tao Xiyu said anxiously: "Wang Huan, how could you do this? What's wrong with senior Gongshu wanting to pass on the secrets of the agency? Are you not even willing to help senior fulfill this wish?"
Tao Xiyu turned to Xiaozhu and said: "Senior Gongshuo, junior is not talented, so I am willing to do my best for seniors."
Gongshu Siyue was silent for a moment and then said: "Although you are somewhat quick-witted, you are still a little behind compared to Wang Huan."
I couldn't help but frown again: Why does Gongshu Siyue keep trying to drag me away? This is obviously inconsistent with common sense.
While I was silent, Ye Xun, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "According to legend, after Jiuding sank into the Wei River, it was salvaged and taken away by a mysterious force. Was that force lost to the family?"
Gongshu Siyue was surprised and asked: "You want to find Jiuding?"
Ye Xun didn't speak, so he acquiesced. Tao Xiyu's eyes, standing beside us, became brighter and brighter.
Gongshu Siyue was silent for a moment and then said: "The Gongshu family pursues the method of mechanism and will not salvage Jiuding. If someone really uses mechanism skills to salvage Jiuding, it can only be a certain branch of the Moh family."
Gongshu Siyue suddenly let out a light sigh: "I understand. Are you going deep into the secret realm not for the secrets of the mechanism, but for the whereabouts of Jiuding?"
At this point, I could only cope with: "So be it!"
Gongshu Siyue replied: "The whereabouts of Jiuding have long been a mystery. Even if I was born a thousand years earlier than you, I still can't be sure where Jiuding was taken. However, your idea may be right. You can go to Weishui without disturbing anyone. Among those who salvaged Jiuding, apart from the Mo family, only Gongshu was involved. I can tell you for sure that the Gongshu family did not participate in salvaging Jiuding. As for the Moh family... "
Gongshu Siyue paused slightly and said: "The descendants of the Mohist family have probably withered away, right? Maybe... I mean maybe, there are some records of the Mohist family about Jiuding in Guan City, and you can try your luck. Of course..."
Gongshu Siyue changed the subject again and said, "If you don't want to go to the government city, I can let you go."
Before I could say anything, Ye Xun had already said, "Let's think about it."
After Ye Xun finished speaking, he pulled me away and whispered: "What do you think?"
"Gongshu Siyue always feels wrong to me. If we have a chance, we have to find a way to escape quickly." I glanced in the direction of Xiaozhu and said, "What if, I mean, what if Gongshu Siyue doesn't let us go. Just find a way to retreat first with An Ran, and I will try my best to stop you from falling behind."
Ye Xun unexpectedly replied: "But I want to find Jiuding!"
I looked at Ye Xun for a long time: "Are you crazy? We've come to this point, and you still want to find Jiuding?"
Ye Xun didn't speak, but his attitude was extremely firm.
"Let me think about it!" I said let me think about it, but in private I used the Wolf King mask to communicate with Ye Xun: "You can't go to that machine city. If you really want to find Jiuding, we will follow them quietly. Wait until they come out and grab their motherfuckers.”
"No chance!" Ye Xun only said three words to me.
In fact, I was also perfunctory with Ye Xun. After leaving the secret realm, Tao Xiyu and Meng Tiandong can regain contact with the outside world. We rush to the Guan City and the Demon Gate, and a large number of masters from the Wugui Sect will follow us soon.
Ye Xun and I were the only ones who couldn't recruit helpers. We had no chance to rob them of their belongings.
When I was thinking about how to persuade Ye Xun, there was suddenly a rapid ringtone from all around Xiaozhu. When I looked up, the sound of dense footsteps suddenly came from all directions.
I was startled by the sudden sound of footsteps. There was no one near the small building. Where did the footsteps come from
When I followed the sound and looked over, I heard a voice coming from the grass near the small building: "Spread out and follow the passage. We must capture the witch alive."
Li Wenzhong? That was Li Wenzhong's voice.
Who are they chasing? Si Ruo? The only person I can think of is Si Ruo.
Didn't Si Ruo say that she had a way to deal with Xingdian? Why are you being chased here by Li Wenzhong
When I suddenly looked at Meng Tiandong, the latter said urgently: "Senior Gongshu, my lady is in danger, please help me? Our brothers are willing to accompany you to the city."
Gongshu Siyue said coldly: "I don't need your company, the person I want is Wang Huan."
When Meng Tiandong looked at me again, his eyes were already completely red: "Wang Huan, what did you say?"
I said solemnly: "Senior Gongshu, the person being hunted outside is my friend. Please help me, senior."
Seeing that Gongshu Siyue didn't answer, I immediately added: "Junior is willing to listen to your orders."
"Okay!" Gongshu Siyue said with a smile: "If you are willing to help me, I don't owe you any favors. I saved your friend, and I will help you keep the people who were chasing her."
While Gongshu Siyue was speaking, the gates on the passage we originally walked down were also opened one after another under the control of the agency. Gongshu Siyue's voice echoed through the secret realm along with the sound-transmitting copper tube: "That girl above, Wang Huan is waiting for you below, come down!"
Gong loses Siyue!
I couldn't help but show anger when I looked at Xiaozhu - Gongshu Siyue was cutting off my escape route. She directly exposed my identity. I had no choice but to follow his path to the end. The place to look back.
"Wang Huan?" Si Ruo, who rushed down from the passage, obviously did not expect that I would be waiting for him in the core of the secret realm.
Si Ruo deliberately let Li Wenzhong go, which really made me very dissatisfied. However, when Si Ruo stood in front of me again, covered in blood and in a state of embarrassment, I couldn't hate him anymore: "Are you okay?"
Si Ruo gritted his teeth and pulled out a hidden weapon from his arm, shaking his head at me. None of the four masters around Si Ruo were left, and she didn't even have time to stop and treat her wounds. This shows how fierce the fight between Si Ruo and Xingdian was.
When I took a few steps up to stop Si Ruo's bleeding, the latter whispered: "I'm sorry, I made a mistake. I came here... I came here to tell you to leave quickly. A kill order has been issued by the Xing Palace, no matter who it is." I will kill you immediately if I see you."
"Stop talking!" I wrapped gauze around Si Ruo's wound twice, then raised my head and looked at the ceiling of the cave: "Xingdian wants to kill me, then let them do it!"
The disciples of the Punishment Palace couldn't hear my voice, but I could hear their frequent footsteps, and the Punishment Palace was coming in force.
