The mountain ghost blows out the lights

The moon is already in the middle of the sky, and the soft moonlight shines in from all directions of the Star-seeking Tower equally. It is not as bright as it was at the beginning, but the star shadows on the ground are clearer and more complete.

The problem the two of them are facing now is that with such a large core, where is the best place to start to remove it intact from upstairs.

Shen Lianxing has been studying Cheng Ruxiu's drawing for the past few days, and he has already memorized the structure by heart. Although they are not completely consistent, the inspiration for Cheng Ruxiu comes from Shen Zhi, and the main points are not much different.

The two thought about it for a while, and didn't care about anything else. In short, they walked all the way to the top of the building along the spiral staircase, planning to get closer and have a look before talking.

There is a door at the end of the stairs, and after pushing it, you can reach the room they have been to before, which is also the main purpose of the Zhaixing Building today.

The mechanical core is hanging in front of the two of them, running silently and orderly.

Yan Jinping gestured towards it, feeling that it was not too difficult, so he suggested: "How about I just dig that whole piece of the roof away?"

He has water cut off, which is the most suitable for this. Boss Yan wanted to draw a knife eagerly.

"Wait a minute, this won't work." Shen Lianxing stopped him, "These are the organs outside the building, but there must be more than this in the whole building. There should be many hidden in the wall. If you dig it out directly, it will be very difficult. There could be havoc."

They just want the core, and they don't really want to do anything to Zhaixinglou. Of course, the less damage they cause, the better.

Yan Jinping said again: "Then what should I do, find a way to send you there directly?"

There is no place to stand under the core, and if they really want to take it down, they have to build a platform themselves.

"No, wait first." Shen Lianxing said, "I'll take a look."

He watched carefully for a while longer.

Many details could not be seen clearly at the bottom, but when he walked up, the moonlight reflected by the core itself was enough to illuminate the whole structure, which was convenient for Shen Lianxing.

He soon discovered that this thing was not rigidly fixed on the roof of the building, but used a special mortise and tenon structure. When installing, just push it up, and then let go, the core will automatically slide down, and be placed next to it. The parts are firmly stuck, and with some follow-up insurance measures, it will never loosen.

It is also easy to disassemble, just push the core up, remove the hindrance of the rear installation, and then press the stuck parts out of the slot one by one... As long as the operation is done properly, this is not such a difficult thing.

It's just not easy to find a suitable disassembly position.

After all, it is quite a large group of organs, and it is linked to the operation of the entire Star-seeking Building. If something goes wrong, it will become a mess, and they will have to bother to repair it, and it will be difficult for themselves.

Shen Lianxing thought for a while, then turned around and asked Yan Jinping: "Is there any way you can hold the core to prevent it from falling, and at the same time press these places in at the same time?"

He pointed Yan Jinping to several places next to the core.

There are only two of them, even if they can stand under the core, it will be difficult to operate. At this time, they still have to use some 'very reasonable' power.

Yan Jinping glanced at it, and pondered: "Yes, there are, but the level of detail is definitely not as good as if you went in person. If it is a relatively strict action..."

"It's okay." Shen Lianxing said, "It's just some physical work, just follow my instructions."

"That's fine."

Yan Jinping touched his palm with one hand, and a brown ball appeared out of nowhere. Immediately, flames ignited out of thin air on the ball, and it burst open suddenly, sprouting quickly in his palm, and within a few breaths, it grew Become a green vine.

The vine itself is not thick, but after growing a section, it suddenly branched out into countless thin branches, growing upwards against common sense, wrapping the core gently and tightly, being careful not to damage any part.

This thing looked familiar, Shen Lianxing said: "This is..."

"Hmm." Yan Jinping held the rootless vine in his hand, looked up at the moonlight that was divided by the vine, and explained, "I picked it from... the snow mountain, just this one."

He also said: "However, the method of cultivation is different, so it can't achieve the powerful effect in the snow mountain. Just a small thing is enough."

Shen Lianxing understood.

The vines that the girl on the snow-capped mountain has gone through all kinds of hardships are nurtured with the soul, watered with pure fire, and can even mend the seal of the entire snow-capped mountain.

Now of course Yan Jinping would not use his soul to nourish it, but there is no shortage of fire around him, so tearing out a little bit to support a small core would be overkill.

Now is not the time to be sad. Although he misses it very much, Shen Lianxing quickly calmed down and began to softly point out to the vine what needs to be changed.

The more delicate the mechanism is, the more fragile it is, because it is important, so every place has a great use, and the creators will not focus on getting those fancy things, just like how violent the wind is, it will also blow up at the beginning. Yu Qingping's tip.

The machine spring is exquisitely designed, and the joints are interlocking, which leads to——

And move the whole body.

All Shen Lianxing needed to do was to find the subtle point that affected the balance.

The vine branched out into many small branches, dancing and following Shen Lianxing's guidance, pushing here, pulling twice there, pressing one protrusion here, and tearing the other apart.

This time it was Yan Jinping's turn to look familiar, he looked at it for a long time, and suddenly said: "I seem to have seen this kind of release method somewhere."

"Yeah." Shen Lianxing said, "Do you still remember that I once gave you a... a wooden ball I made myself?"

He once gave Yan Jinping a wooden ball, and when he took it apart, there was a ring inside. Of course, Yan Jinping would never forget it.

Although the ring has been broken in Taoyuan.

"The principle is the same." Shen Lianxing directed the movements of the vines while saying, "Of course this one is much larger than that little toy, but in terms of complexity, it's actually about the same level, and the solution and structure are also the same, no Disaster."

As the last part was pushed in by the branches of the vine, the already loose core finally completely separated from the roof of the Star Picking Building.It was brought down by the vines supporting it below, and shrank back to the stairs.

Where the core was once stored, there is only a huge hole left, exposing the gears that were originally connected to the core.At this moment, they lost their source of power, slowly turned half a circle, and finally stopped all their movements.

The star shadows were annihilated, the clock tower stopped, and there was a huge "click" inside the entire Star Picking Tower, followed by a bell ringing from nowhere. There was only one sound, and it was emitted from the building, and then spread, echoing melodiously and loudly On the night sky in Smokeview.

Listening to the sound is like a wake-up call, announcing the end of an era.

In this way, I am afraid that everyone in the city will hear it.

Shen Lianxing: "..."

Yan Jinping: "..."

Yan Jinping put away the core with an indescribable expression, and asked Shen Lianxing, "Do you think Shen Zhi did this?"

"It should be him." Shen Lianxing said, "Others... who has the time to think about this, Shen Zhaxinglou is only the chief designer, all these big and small things have to be decided by him, just add a bell, for him It’s just an easy thing.”

From this point of view, Shen Zhi probably had already anticipated everything in the future on the day he designed the Zhaixing Building.

No matter when and for whatever reason, the core of the Zhaixing Building will always be demolished one day.

After all, it is a work made by himself. When the time comes, maybe Shen just hopes that it can at least leave the last trace in this world.

I just don't know what kind of mood he was in when planning these things.

Do you feel sorry?Or joy, curiosity, and anticipation for the future?

In short, since Shen Zhi already knew that someone would come to pick the core, and there were no poisonous stabs or throwing knives at the "core thief" in the dark of the Star Picking Tower, the two of them took it as their ancestors "read and approved" The signal, before anyone came to check the situation, hurriedly sneaked away and returned to Linlang Pavilion.

In Linlang Pavilion, it's rare that everyone is there.

Dan Singer is holding the arm of some unlucky ghost again; Li Chuizhu is sleeping on the cushion under the window, only her ears are turning back and forth following the movement; Yuntong is floating in the air reading a book; Babao is lying on the window, looking out curiously .

Hearing the two people open the door and come in, the little rabbit spirit immediately turned around, threw herself into the arms of Big Brother Shen, and said excitedly: "Boss, Big Brother Shen, you are back!"

Yan Jinping: "..."

He looked at Babao in Shen Lianxing's arms, and wanted to say that you should hug me next time, but for 15 years, he and Babao have come here like this. Although they are close, the spirits still respect him Most of them, at this time, they are competing with Shen Lianxing for favor, how can they look like their boss?

Boss Yan was a little depressed.

"I heard the bell just now." Yun Tong also said, "It was so loud that it spread throughout the city. It should have come from near the Astrology Building. The two of you just came back from there, so you know what happened. something?"

Everyone knew about Shen Lianxing and Yan Jinping's going to Zhaixing Building, but they didn't hear the details from them, so everyone only vaguely knew that it should be related to them, but they didn't know the specific reason.

After all, the two of them sneaked into other people's buildings and took other people's things. There was nothing worthy of publicity, so Yan Jinping explained vaguely: "It's nothing serious, just a little movement, and there will be no more in the future...don't worry about it."

"Oh..." Yun Tong didn't have to know, but he just asked by the way, seeing that Yan Jinping obviously didn't want to talk about it, so he didn't get to the bottom of it, closed the book, and said, "By the way, my boss, I need to discuss something with you .”

Yan Jinping: "What?"

"Borrow two bookworms from you." Yun Tong said, "Rong Ling said that she hasn't seen them for a long time. The Langhuan Pavilion is so boring, it's weird."

Then he said: "I heard that you also wrote some scripts, it seems to be called "Changqing"? Rong Ling said that he had never seen you do such a thing, and wanted to hear it."

"...Okay." Yan Jinping said, "Let Babao lead you to choose later."

He was a little curious about how the relationship between Yuntong and Rongling became so good, but he didn't ask after all, the matter of Fei Que is obviously more important now.

The two greeted the spirits and returned to the grassland with the core.

The author says:

Vinado: Hi, long time no see.

The core installation method is the Luban lock, which originated from the mortise and tenon technology. It can be firmly fixed with itself without nails or other aids. If you don’t know the solution, it is equivalent to a whole.

I've always thought this thing was amazing (and never solved it...

Shen Lianxing sent the boss's Luban lock in "68. Title Ring"
