the enlightener says

……

Mohist organ city, this magnificent palace was built on the Wuwei Mountain in Jicheng, almost a "city within the city" standing in the center of Jicheng.

It reaches Jishang School Palace tens of miles to the north, and stretches to the former royal palace to the east. Tianji wheel waterwheels tens of feet high stand proudly under the rushing waterfall, like silent giants, Under the current of water, they rotated day after day, driving countless gears hidden in the lake water, and became a continuous source of power for the organ city.

This is the culmination of the hard work of hundreds of thousands of civilian husbands and Mohist masters of past dynasties.

In the past hundred years, almost everyone who has been here will be amazed by this wonderful scene, and some people even cannot understand the wisdom in it, let alone understand what kind of secrets are guarded behind the densely packed gears.

In fact, when the Mohists built this organ city, many people criticized it, and even some Confucian scholars jointly signed a letter, saying to the former Mohist tycoon who built the organ city: "The world is not safe, and we should practice strict thrift and recuperate with the people." However, the giant builds a large number of buildings and builds a palace on the mighty mountain, which will surely attract the wrath of the heavens."

However, for some reason, the always thrifty Mohist tycoon of the previous generation still insisted on going his own way, and resolutely used the funds from the treasury despite the obstruction of all the officials. It took more than ten years to complete the construction of the organ city.

After the construction of the organ city, the long canals transported water to the outside, so that many acres of fields and saline-alkali land around Jicheng were reborn. In addition, these huge waterwheels did provide a steady stream of power for the organ city. After increasing the number of weapons, armors, and mechanisms produced by the Mohist artisans dozens of times, the voices of opposition from the court slowly subsided.

But even so, many people still have doubts in their hearts, thinking that if the construction of this organ city is for the Mohists, then it is only necessary to build houses, why build a palace here?

No matter what, this place eventually became the gathering place of the Mohists' new dynasty. The original grand palace of the former dynasty was neglected and left unused. There are only dozens of castrated cats lazily basking in the palace walls every day. looking at the sun.

These cats are fed three meals a day by a special person. The only function of their chubby cats is to prevent rodents from damaging the palace, so they are very leisurely and timid.

After Shenli led his disciples out of the main hall, they turned around the empty square and passed the promenade with nine bends and eighteen bends on the water. The Tianji Wheel stopped quietly under the huge waterfall. In the past few years, everyone has been used to the way these heavenly wheels are running non-stop, but now they stopped suddenly, and everyone felt a little uneasy.

"The guards of the imperial army said that the two Heavenly Secret Wheels on the east and northwest have also stopped." A disciple approached Shen Li, and his expression was a little dignified when he spoke.

"Four of the ten heavenly wheels stopped..." The expression on Shen Li's face was also not very good-looking. As the chief instructor of mechanism art, he was more worried than anyone else.

These heavenly wheels are the key to the continuous operation of the entire mechanism city. Once there is a problem, it is not just that the craftsmen on the first floor cannot do things.

Over the years, the organ city has gradually controlled the defense of the entire Jicheng, and countless organs have to rely on the organ city to start. If the wheel of heaven stops, at least half of Jicheng's organs will become scrap copper and rotten iron. If Cang Hai or Tang Guo took advantage of the vacancy, who knows what will happen?

"Go underground." Shen Li frowned, and a group of people gathered into a group in response. With Shen Li's foot stepping, the sound of mechanism gear grinding continued to sound, and the entire floor tiles rumbled and began to carry everyone down.

And in the darkness in the deepest part of the organ city, there was an old voice softly saying: "Go."

Then the two long shadows flashed away, disappearing into the ocean of countless gears and gears.

Chapter 628 The Core of Tianshu

Unlike most people's imagination, the real organ city is not just the palace above and the ten huge waterwheels. Its body is hidden in the mountainside of Mighty Mountain. It is divided into five floors, three floors from top to bottom. They are Baigong, organs, and arsenal.

Just these three floors provide almost the entire Mohist military industry and institutions, making the main force of the Mohist Mohist army possess the best equipment and weapons in the world.

But what Shenli wants to go is not these three floors, but the fourth floor, because this fourth floor is called Tianshu, and it is the soul of the entire organ city.

Since the establishment of the organ city, the organs at the Tianshu have controlled all operations of the entire organ city, including the Tianji wheel, the bronze guards guarding the organ city, the heavy crossbow hidden in the hidden compartment, and even the defense equipment in the city wall, etc. , everything bowed to the "instructions" of Tianshu, like a loyal eagle dog.

On weekdays, only Juzi himself and the chief instructor of mechanism art can enter this Tianshu Office. For those who do not carry the key, once they enter, they will be strangled and dealt with mercilessly by the mechanism immediately, leaving no bones left.

It's just that before Shenli and his party had fully entered the Tianshu level, the whole organ city shook again, and the huge roar was accompanied by billowing smoke and dust rushing up the elevator passage, almost covering their sight.

What was even worse was that the entire elevator seemed to have a problem under such violent vibrations. Not only could it not continue to descend smoothly, it even started... falling!

"Not good!" Shen Li yelled almost immediately, as the current chief instructor of mechanism art, he naturally knew better than anyone how urgent the current situation was.

But it was a pity that before he could pull the trigger that stopped the descent, the entire elevator fell down decisively, like a weight thrown from the top of a mountain.

The construction of the entire mechanism city has almost hollowed out the entire mountainside of Wuwei Mountain. The height from top to bottom is enough to fall to the death of a young master. I'm afraid that no one present will survive.

"Pull the trigger!" Shen Li, who failed to hold the trigger, fell to the ground suddenly in such a sudden fall, but he remained calm, looking at the disciples who were also staggering around and shouted.

The speed of the landing was so fast that Shen Li felt that his whole body had lost weight, and he was even slightly suspended. The sound of the brackets and pulleys almost echoed in his ears like a death talisman.

In the chaos, a group of people are frantically trying to hold the silent trigger. It is a distorted group dance on the falling elevator. However, behind this dance is not leading to bliss, but leading to die!

Shen Li pumped his blood, one hand tightly gripped the cast-iron floor, his fingers had sunk into the floor, but his feet still started to rise uncontrollably, looking like fish swimming in the water.

He still couldn't get the trigger.

Some disciples who were almost cultivated had even lost their center of gravity completely, and their whole body hit the ceiling of the elevator fiercely during the high-speed fall, making a muffled bang.

In a moment, all of them will surely die.

Shen Li's face was pale, and then he let out a roar like a tiger and leopard, and suddenly let go of his old, rough but still strong hands, and his whole body floated up like a bird.

He doesn't intend to give up, but wants to take another gamble under such circumstances!

The strength of Qi and blood in the realm of the little masters allows them to do things that ordinary people can't do at all, which naturally includes making rolling movements in such a rapid falling situation.

The moment he was about to hit the ceiling, his limbs kicked out!

He turned over and finally touched the hard ceiling at this moment. His hard bones and strong legs made him still have great strength after the bang. When his legs kicked suddenly, he was already like a star. It hit the trigger like a cannonball.

In the blink of an eye, he touched the trigger position, but perhaps God planned to play another joke on him today. After a sound of breaking, the entire elevator shook again, and even tilted slightly.

Shen Li was almost completely stupefied when he realized that the trigger had moved back an inch mischievously, avoiding his wide palm.

"Gao Shi!" Shen Li shouted loudly.

Almost at the moment when he finished speaking, the entire elevator stopped suddenly, and the sound of sharp metal friction poured into all the ear canals, and the splashing sparks seemed to light up a star in the dark, and the whole elevator stopped. The falling suddenly slowed down, and the people in the elevator either fell or fell down, turning into a mess.

After ten breaths, the elevator that was rubbing all the way down finally reached its destination and hit the cushion.

"Ho...ho..." Shen Li panted violently, looking at the junior who was holding the trigger firmly, and then at the disciples around him who fell together, he couldn't help but feel a bit of fear.

If the trigger was not pulled, the elevator would fall at a very high speed and hit the soft cushion in an instant. The impact would be enough to cause the liver and gallbladder of most people present to die.

If that's the case, how should the things that Ju Zi explained continue?

It's a pity that Shenli doesn't have time to rest at the moment. During this narrow escape, he has already understood that there must be some major problem in the Tianshu layer at this moment-the construction process of the elevator mechanism is almost harsh, even The earthquake will not fall at an extreme speed, and the most likely reason for such a thing to happen is that someone forcibly released the elevator he was in through the mechanism.

"Who the hell..." Shen Li murmured in a low voice. Some couldn't believe that someone could enter the core of the Tianshu layer under heavy protection, but he stood up vigorously and hissed: "Leave two One is here to take care of the wounded, and the others follow me."

No matter who this person is, since he has reached this level, he must have plots against the Mohists. If he continues to let go, he may endanger the giant, so he must enter the core of the Tianshu layer as soon as possible, and regain control of the entire organ city .

The Tianshu layer, which was supposed to be silent, has been fully activated at this moment, and the lit candles on both sides of the passage seem to be watching their eyes.

The bronze guards who were supposed to guard the organ city fell to the floor as expected, looking like tall and cold corpses one after another.

Shenli remembers that on the first day of learning mechanism skills, he was brought to the mechanism city by the giant, and witnessed how brave and reliable these guards are, although the power source of these mechanism people is more complicated and there are difficulties in transportation, so It cannot be applied to the frontline battlefield, but there is no doubt that when they are inside the organ city, they are the most suitable candidates to guard the organ city.

Even if it was a practitioner who tried to break in, facing these intruders who would not hurt and whose body was as hard as a copper wall, they would probably have to back away. But unfortunately, this time they were as brave as they were and they couldn't stop the mysterious intruder. From the outside, the method used by this person is obviously not to attack and destroy them, but to remove their power cores directly and lightly.

This person is by no means an ordinary person!

Walking through the long passage, gradually approaching the core of the answer, when Shenli finally entered the wide space, what greeted his eyes was a splendid sea of ​​stars.

Naturally, there can be no sky underground, let alone stars, but there is an ocean completely made up of mechanisms and gears underground. When they rotate and intertwine in the light, they seem to weave into a boundless ocean of brilliance.

Chapter 629 Ancestor's Contempt

Shen Li knew that this galaxy was the real appearance of the fourth layer of the organ city, the Tianshu layer.

When the mechanism city was first established, because the friction between the gears and the mechanism would generate huge heat and even damage the mechanism, so in order to solve this problem, the Mohist sages introduced the water source of the big river directly into the Wuwei mountainside, turning the entire fourth All submerged under the layer.

In this way, those organs would naturally remain in the icy water, and the heat generated during operation would naturally be taken away by the open and dark channels surrounding the whole city.

The Tianshu, the Big Dipper and the Wolf Star Lord.

The Mohists have a theory of "wisdom ghosts", so they don't shy away from things about strange powers and chaotic gods. In folk myths, Tianshu star is a wise star. When it turns into an animal, its image is Jinao, which symbolizes With a strong governance management.

So the craftsmen shaped the shape of the first floor of Tianshu into the shape of a turtle. Since then, it has become a giant tortoise in the Wuwei Mountains and Waters, hiding in the unfathomable mountainside all the time, just like a tortoise. The silent and introverted king firmly controls all the power and power of the entire organ city.

Moreover, in order to be able to observe the conditions of those organs, the sages of the Mohists also used the wisdom of skilled craftsmen to pour such a huge, solid and crystal clear glazed carapace for this giant turtle, and finally created this piece of galaxy that the Mohists called "the sky".

This is the grandeur and skill of the Mohist sages. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, it would be hard for most people to believe that there is such a place. People who come here will involuntarily feel admiration and be impressed by it.

When Shenli entered here for the first time, he who was obsessed with mechanical skills was also moved to tears. The always proud he finally knew how big the world is, and how shallow his knowledge of mechanical skills is. No longer involved in the imperial court, but only meditated in the Jishang Academy, and finally became the chief instructor of this organ technique.

But today's Shen Li didn't have time to sigh for this, because at this moment, he finally saw the intruder in the Tianshu layer clearly, perhaps because the worst guess in his heart finally became a reality, his face couldn't help but become ugly.

It was an old man, his slightly hunched figure showed a bit of depression and loneliness, his gray hair was slightly messy, and a simple wooden hairpin was pinned to it, and a prosthetic leg protruded from under his clothes, wrapped in The heavy gold and iron seemed a bit cold.

As if he heard the footsteps of the crowd, the old man turned around slowly, and said with emotion: "It's not bad, I can still come here alive. It seems that although Modi's disciples and grandchildren are not as good at cultivation, they are not all a group of people. mud."

His voice was flat and vicissitudes, as if he was evaluating an accident that had nothing to do with him.However, Shen Li knew very well that it was the old man in front of him who deliberately broke the rope of the elevator, and he didn't have any sense of being an "intruder" when he spoke at this time.

Speaking in such a calm and breezy manner, the listeners would naturally find it extremely harsh, and the several disciples behind Shenli suddenly felt angry, and said loudly: "Where did you come from, how dare you break into my Mohist organ city! "

It's just that his cursing sound was immediately exchanged for a violent roar.

"Presumptuous!" Shen Li didn't know why he was so angry, was it because the identity of the person in front of him made him feel scared?Or is it because the respect in my heart is still preserved until now, and it has not been buried due to the passage of time?

"You don't have the right to speak here." After Shenli scolded that disciple indifferently, he took a deep breath, took a step forward and said, "Senior Gongshu, long time no see, seeing that you are in good health now, The junior is very relieved, but... the junior doesn't understand, why do you want to risk treason and come here to make trouble in this organ city?"

The title of Senior Gongshu is enough to make everyone gasp.

In this world, who else can be called by Shen Li as the senior of Gongshu?

Most of the people present were of the younger generation, and had never really met Gongshu Pan himself, but there was not a single one of them who did not know the great reputation of Gongshu Pan back then.

The Chief Instructor of Mechanism at Jishang Academy, the Chief Commander of the Construction of Mechanism City and concurrently the Chief Dispatcher, Marquis Wuwei whose title has been stripped...

No matter which title it is, it is enough to make the world look at it.

Even today, in Jishang Academy’s school of mechanism techniques, many classics of mechanism techniques like Gongshu are still talked about by students, and the tricks of mechanism techniques in them give people a completely different feeling from the mechanism techniques inherited by the Mohist school. style of.

The mechanism art of the Mohist school focuses on defense, and its main purpose is to calm down the chaos and defend the country, while the mechanism created by Gongshu Banyi focuses on attacking, using martial arts to stop fighting and overbearing to kill.

For example, the Mohist black cavalry's continuous crossbow was born out of the "Martial Arts Classic" written by Gong Shuban decades ago, so it has the lethality that surpasses the world.

When Shenli was young, he followed the giant to practice mechanism skills, but he also regarded this senior as another role model in his heart.

It's just that Gongshu Ban always likes to be quiet on weekdays, so he doesn't often give lectures at Jishang Academy, but every time Gongshu Ban lectures, he will definitely not be absent.

Now that time has passed, the senior in front of him has long lost his former glory, and those years have quietly gone away, which is really embarrassing.

But Shenli didn't have time to sigh, because he knew very well that since Gongshu Ban came back to Jicheng, the biggest possibility was that he came for the events of the year.

Although he still has a lot of doubts, if he doesn't understand Gongshu Banruo, he has always been dissatisfied, so why did he have to wait until today?

Facing this figure who has become a legend in terms of mechanical skills and qi and blood cultivation, what should he Shenli do?

Hearing that Shen Li was called a senior, Gong Shu Ban felt a little funny, finally looked at Shen Li, grinned and said: "So it's you, it seems that I have been away from Jicheng for too long... you now Looks much older than me."

Isn't it?People say that people are [-] years old, Shenli is now an [-]-year-old, and he is already old. He is no longer innocent, let alone young and graceful. The former junior has now grown into the elder of many people.

It's just that Gongshu Pan's next sentence made Shenli's complexion a little dark, ashamed and annoyed.

"It seems that the Mohist school is really not as good as the previous generation, and even you can sit on the position of the chief instructor of mechanism art." Gongshu Ban said with a sarcasm: "Among the younger generation of the Mohist family, only Wang Xuanwei's talent is fair, and he has a good heart." He is also far superior to ordinary people, but now he also died because of court disputes, heh, Mo Di has been deceived by something for decades, could it be that this is the great order of the world that he spoke of with his ambitions back then?"

"Senior! Please speak carefully." Shen Li stared at Gongshu Pan, and said with a suppressed voice: "The junior thinks that he is not as amazing as the seniors, so he can only work hard to maintain it so far and do his best. ...Today senior said that this junior's chief teacher is not worthy of the name or not a good one, but if he insults the teacher, this junior will never tolerate it!"

"Oh?" Gongshu Ban once again looked away, and looked away indifferently, "If I want to insult your teacher, what should you do?"

"You..." Shen Li also felt a surge of enthusiasm, and his anger almost spewed out from his throat, but facing Gongshu, he was like a mayfly trying to shake a big tree. Once he made a move, he would only Make things worse.

Thinking of this, Shenli took a deep breath again, and said in a deep voice: "Senior is very capable, he has energy and blood to cultivate, and his mechanical skills are ten times better than that of the younger generation. The younger generation thinks that he can't do anything to the senior. It's just that my Mo family is not without people. , Senior, even if his cultivation is as high as the sky, if he can break into the inside of the mechanism city alone, do you really think that you can retreat completely?"

"Retire completely?" Gongshu Ban seemed to have heard a very funny joke, spread his arms as if everything was under control, and raised his voice, "Why should I, Gongshu Ban, retreat?"

Chapter 6 Thirty

"This..." Shen Li didn't expect that Gong Shupan would block his words so quickly, and he could only swallow the manuscript that had been typed for a while.

Gongshu's eyes are dark and prey, in the light of the candlelight, like an old night owl, his hoarse laughter makes people feel a chill in their bones: "You think I can't see you?" What do you want to do? As Mo Di's big disciple, you still can't enter the realm of a master at this age. You know that you can't stop me with your cultivation, so you want to stabilize me with words first, or even... threaten me? "

He coughed and laughed, and said in a bad tone: "In your opinion, is my Gongshu Ban the kind of person who is willing to listen to others? Or, after I left Jicheng for so many years, the younger generations of the Mohist family have already given up on themselves. Having degenerated to such an extent, you don't want to win your opponent with upright strength, but you want to be a lobbyist with your back on the mountain of the Mo family, thinking that you can use your three-inch tongue to defeat the enemy thousands of miles away?"

"Joke!" He was just a slightly hunched old man, but at this moment when he straightened his back, he suddenly seemed to be raised by a foot, the sound was like a loud bell, and even a gust of wind blew up, rumbling and slapping everyone face.

Shen Li's face was full of horror, and he took two steps back in fear, and then heard two muffled groans, and found that the two disciples had collapsed like a puddle of mud, with their eyes tightly closed , gritted his teeth showing a bit of pain.

"Ramie! Wu Phi!" Compared to the others, these two disciples were the youngest, with the worst cultivation, and they had suffered some injuries when they fell, and at this moment, they were shouted angrily like a public loser with vigor and blood , It actually directly affected the injury, causing the qi and blood to flow backwards and pass out.

And Gong Shuban took a step forward, looked at Shen Li coldly and said: "I know you have listened to my lectures, but you probably don't know what kind of person I am. I wrote "Wu Gong Jing". You think that I am really a person who sticks to small details, and if I was easily persuaded by you in a few words, then it would be impossible to study those murder weapons in the first place."

I don't know if it was intentional, Gongshu Pan suddenly stretched out his hand, and slowly stretched it towards his bosom, as if he wanted to take out something.

But it was also this action that made these Mohist disciples who were already very restless even more flustered. Even at this moment, Shenli clearly heard the sound of the upper limit of the machine crossbow!

"No..." Shenli's pupils shrank sharply, and she shouted almost immediately, but with the sound of the flick of the machine gun, the three crossbow bolts had already left the string decisively, turning into dim candles. A ray of murderous intent in the fire rushed straight to Gongshu's face and heart!

All it takes is a faint spark to light a great fire.

It was at this moment that the peace that Shen Li originally wanted to maintain was torn open, and hot magma flowed out from it.

This time, there were a total of 30 people who followed Shenli. Although five of these people were injured during the lifting of the "fish ladder", and two of them stayed by the elevator to take care of the injured, the Mohist disciples present still did not care. few.

And when this group of Mohist disciples really started to attack, countless secret crossbows and organs in the Tianshu layer were released in an instant.

"Chichichichichichichichi..." The sound of the crossbow arrow was very shrill, and it looked like a group of hungry migratory locusts. In just one breath, they crossed a distance of ten feet, and went to the front of Gongshu.
