"Go right, then left." When the wooden mandarin duck passed through a large hole in the mountain, the flock of poisonous birds following behind suddenly split into two groups. One pair went to the left, and the other pair went to the right. They overtook the wooden mandarin duck.
"The number of birds seems to have decreased." Miss Rong said after observing the mutation of the poisonous birds.
Tianming watched as Yue 'er's jade-like little hand kept turning the control lever, allowing the wooden mandarin duck to move agilely through the mountains. After watching for a while, Tianming felt that it was quite fun. In addition, he really couldn't help it, so he said to Yue 'er,"Yue' er, can you let me drive for a while?"”
"That won't do. It will take a long time to master it.”The moon poured cold water on the dawn.
"Well, won't you learn it soon?”Looking at Yue 'er's hands constantly turning the steering wheel, Tianming said unwillingly.
"You don't know, but I studied for a whole year at that time!”
"Is it that difficult?" Tianming stuck out his tongue and said. At this moment, Old Man Ban stretched his face over. His face was still black. It seemed that the poison had not dissipated. He said to Tianming," Kid! Don't fiddle with the switch!"
It turned out that Tianming had unknowingly reached his hand out to the mechanism on the Muyuan Aeroglider. It was unknown whether Tianming had done it intentionally or not, but Old Man Ban had seen it, making Tianming very embarrassed.
"Be careful of the protruding rocks in front of you. Go around them!”After Old Man Ban finished speaking, he noticed that there was a protruding rock in front of him, so he instructed Yue Er.
"Yes, sir!" Yue 'er must have worked very hard when she was learning how to drive the wooden mandarin duck in the past. She easily bypassed it. Just as the wooden mandarin duck circled around the rock, another situation appeared in front of them. Old Man Ban noticed it and asked,"What happened?"”
"There's a flock of birds up ahead, we're surrounded! What about Old Man Ban?" Yue 'er didn't know what to do, so she asked Old Man Ban.
Old Man Ban had no choice but to scratch his head.
"Let me do it!" Han Tian stood up and said to Old Man Ban.
"You have a way?" Duanmu Rong asked doubtfully.
"Yes, I have a way."
"What is it?"
"Use my Yin-Yang Art!"
"What? You actually know the Yin-Yang Art!”Ge Nie, Duanmu Rong, and Old Man Ban were all shocked.
"No wonder his moves are so strange.”Ge Nia thought.
"I don't know much." Han Tian said humbly.
"What is it? Yin-Yang Art?" Tianming asked.
"Don't worry about that. I'll use the Yin-Yang Art.”Han Tian said as he walked in front of Mu Yuan.
"Yin Yang Manifestation!" Han Tian raised his hands and spread his fingers. Blue flames burned on each of his fingers.
"Second Uncle, you're on fire!" Tianming hurriedly said.
"Tianming." "Don't disturb Mr Han. He's currently converting his internal energy into true energy."”
Soon, the flames on the ten fingers slowly grew larger and covered his hands. Han Tian threw the two balls of fire forward, and they suddenly exploded above the crows. Sparks flew everywhere, and the crows in front were burned to death. From time to time, the cries of the crows could be heard.
Countless charred crows fell from the sky. Han Tianyi retracted his inner energy and circulated it in his dantian, letting out a long sigh of relief.
"Second Uncle, you're amazing!" Tianming looked on with his mouth agape.
Duanmu Rong and Old Man Ban were also shocked by Han Tian.
Ge Nia, on the other hand, was worried."This person is proficient in the Yin-Yang Art and holds the Ancient Ghost Waning Moon. His proficiency in the vertical sword art is not lower than mine. He also knows the horizontal sword art. Who exactly was he? Could he be a pawn of the State of Qin?”However, all of this was just speculation, and Ge Nia did not make any rash remarks.
Old Man Ban looked at the direction they were heading in with a solemn expression. The wooden mandarin duck was rushing towards a cliff at an extremely fast speed.
"Yes, old man! Are you crazy? You don't want to live anymore!" Seeing that the wooden mandarin duck was about to hit the cliff, Tianming raised his hands and screamed,"Ah, it's bad!"
In a flash, a rock on the cliff suddenly moved upward, revealing a passage. Almost in an instant, the cliff returned to its original state. Many of the strange birds following behind the wooden mandarin duck crashed into the cliff.
When the white phoenix saw this, it smiled slightly and circled in the sky, leading the poison birds back.
On a cliff far away, Chi Lian stood beside Wei Zhuang. A butterfly bird flew into Chi Lian's hand.
"The white phoenix has sent news." Chi Lian took out a piece of paper from the bird's leg and said after reading it.
"Read it."
"The location of the City of Traps has been found, but the Mo family is heavily guarded and did not attack rashly.”At this moment, the Crimson Training Kingsnake on Chi Lian's waist climbed up her arm and flicked its tongue at the Butterfly Winged Bird. The butterfly bird was scared away.
At this moment, Old Man Ban and the others entered the Mohist City of Traps.
"Yue 'er, let me drive here.”Old Man Ban walked over and said to Yue 'er.
"Old Man Ban, are your injuries alright?”Yue Er said worriedly.
"Miss Rong has already helped me seal the poison. Don't worry, with Miss Rong here, no matter how terrifying the poison is, it won't kill me!”
With a bang, the large rock closed, and the only trace of light disappeared.
"Hey, old man, why can't you see anything?”Tianming asked.
"This way, my eyes will be quieter, so that you won't be wandering around in front of me all day.”
"There's no light at all. The machine-operated bird won't bump into anything, right?”
"I can fly here with my eyes closed.”Old Man Ban continued," Everyone, be careful. We're going to turn and slow down.”
"Ah! Why didn't you tell me earlier so that I could sit down? Hmm? Whose hand can I grab? Yue 'er, is that you?" Tianming asked.
"No."
"It's me, Tianming." Han Tian said.
"Ah, why do Second Uncle's hands look like a woman's?”
"Tianming, don't spout nonsense." Ge Nia said.
"Oh, I see."
They flew for a long time before a bright light suddenly appeared above their heads, accompanied by a loud bang.
"The password!" A voice came from above.
Old Man Ban immediately replied,"To unite the world and love all living beings."”
The person above replied,"Go to the fire and smash the sharp blade."”
"Eh, I seem to have heard these two sentences somewhere before.”Han Tian said.
"How is that possible? This is the secret order of the Mohist City of Traps. I think Mr Han must have read too many books of sages and got confused.”Miss Rong said.
"It should be." Han Tian said.
"Who's down there?" The person above shouted.
"Old Feng, it's me, Miss Rong, Yue 'er, and the other three are Chief's guests.”Old Man Ban replied.
"Understood! Crossbow, let them pass." After that person finished speaking, the stone slab closed, and the surroundings were dark again. There were dots of light above his head, and then more and more. When Tianming saw it, he said,"Look! What was that? It was fun to see stars in the mountains.”
"If you knew what it was, you wouldn't find it funny anymore.”Old Man Ban said.
"Then what do you think it is?”
"This is the first line of defense of the Mohist City of Traps-the crossbow formation. If the enemy invades or cannot answer the command, the crossbow formation will be activated.”Yue Er explained.
"Are you saying that these white dots are a lot of arrows?”
"Yes, very sharp. Have you seen candied haws?" Old Man Ban said.
"Uh... Yue 'er, what kind of machine did you say this was... City of Traps?" Tianming changed the topic and asked.
"Yes! The holy land in the hearts of the Mo Family disciples was also the Mo Family's most confidential fortress, the City of Traps.”Yue Er explained.
Before Tianming could finish, Old Man Ban said,""Everyone, sit down! We're about to enter the city."
After a while, the sound of gears turning could be heard in the darkness. A stone door slowly rose not far away. Bright light shone through the stone door and shone on everyone's faces. Everyone revealed a happy smile, sweeping away the fatigue from the recent rush. As the wooden mandarin duck approached the stone door, the light became brighter and brighter. In the end, it drowned everyone.
When everyone got used to the light, the scene presented in front of them could be said to be heaven on earth. They were surrounded by green forests, and spring water flowed in the mountains. Birds were singing and flowers were fragrant everywhere. The surroundings were full of vitality.
The wooden mandarin duck slowly landed on the ground. Its head, legs, and wings slowly retracted. Everyone got off the wooden mandarin duck and looked at the beautiful scenery. Their hearts were filled with joy.
"Wow! He was too handsome! There was actually such a place in The Mountain's stomach!”Tianming looked around in shock. Clearly, the surprise this place had given him was too great.
Looking around, Old Man Ban said," This kid really hasn't seen the world. This is just the beginning and he's already so excited." "Ah, every time I come back here, I feel very calm. There's no chaos outside anymore. That's great." After saying that, Old Man Ban stretched his body. Tianming also finally understood what Shaoyu meant by the last piece of paradise. Indeed, if there was one place in this world that was not under the tyrannical rule of the Qin country, it would be this place.
Han Tian also looked around." This place is so beautiful. Even the Little Saint Manor can't compare to the beauty here."”
"Mr Han came here four years ago, but we made some changes to the City of Traps in these four years.”Old Man Ban said.
"I've been here?" Han Tian was a little surprised.
"Yeah," Old Man Ban said. Then, he thought about it and said,"Looks like he really forgot everything. I wonder who made him lose his memory. What if he meets the snow maidens?”
"So Mr Han has been here before." "No wonder you know the secret order here." Duanmu Rong said.”
"The legendary Mo family's refuge is indeed worthy of its reputation! What a wonderful world." Ge Nia, who rarely spoke during the journey, couldn't help but sigh at the beautiful scenery.
"Sanctuary?" Tianming asked in surprise.
"This is the sacred ground of our Mo clan, the Mo Rule Pool.”Yue Er explained.
It turned out that the pool with clear spring water in front of everyone was called the Mo Gui Pool.
"Rules are standards, ink is like the soul. Without a scale, one's mind would be distorted, and one would lose their sense of direction when doing things. This was the origin of the name of the Mo Gui Pool.”Miss Rong explained.
"Uh... What a strange name!"
"This is the name given by the ancestor of the Mo family. Do you have any objections?”Hearing Tianming's words, Old Man Ban asked.
"That Mo Family's ancestor must have drunk a lot of ink to be able to take out such…such…incomprehensible names.”Tianming said as he scratched his head.
"That's because you're stupid!" Old Man Ban said mercilessly. Hearing their conversation, Miss Rong actually smiled. This was something that was rarely seen in a long time. Ge Nia saw her smile. At this moment, a large gear on a rock above everyone's head started to spin. Then, something that looked like a wooden box slowly descended under the traction of four iron chains.
"He's here to pick us up," said Old Man Ban.”
"What is this?" Tianming asked.
"Kid, you haven't seen it before, right? This is called a cloud boat, and it was designed by me! Without it, even if Big Ghost and Little Ghost arrived at the fallout shelter, it would be harder than ascending to the heavens to enter the Mo Gui Pool!”Old Man Ban said proudly while stroking his beard, as if he was lecturing a teacher. At this moment, the cloud boat landed on the ground with a person standing on it.
"Eh…Little Zhi, why is it you?" Old Man Ban asked.
"Why can't it be me?"
"Didn't the leader send you on a mission to Mount Tai?”
"I heard that you're back, so I immediately rushed back to welcome you!”
"I think you heard that Miss Rong was back, so you ran faster than a rabbit!”Old Man Ban saw through his trick at a glance.
"Hehe." Thief Zhi smiled and turned his head to see Han Tian.""Ah, isn't this Mr Han? Where's your Xiaohuo? You came back for the snow maidens, didn't you?”
"Lil 'Fire? Snow maidens?" Han Tian was a little confused.
Old Man Ban hurriedly pulled the Thief Zhi aside and said,""Little Zhi, have the snow maidens returned?"
"Not yet. She and Xiao Gao went on a mission.”"What's wrong?" asked Thief Zhi.
"Let me tell you, Han Tian has lost his memory!”
"Ah, amnesia?"
"That's right, he doesn't even remember anyone.”
"What exactly happened?"
"I don't know either. Let's wait until the giant returns.”
Thief Zhi turned around and saw Ge Nia."And this is…"
"I am Ge Nia."
"Ah, Ge Nia!" Thief Zhi walked over,"That's a famous name."”
"I wouldn't dare." Ge Nia cupped his hands,"May I know who you are?"
"Let me introduce you." As he spoke, Old Man Ban walked over.”
"So he is the thief Zhi who is invincible in stealing. He is much older than I imagined.”Ge Nia thought.
"Old man, why didn't you introduce me?”Tianming walked out and asked.
"This is…" Thief Zhi asked.
"He's a little kid brought by Mr. Gai.”
"Yes, what is it?" Tianming was a little angry.
"Everyone, board the ship." With that, they boarded the boat.
At this time, in the capital of Qin State, the King of Qin, Ying Zheng, was talking with the Prime Minister, Li Si.
"Mohist City of Traps?" Qin Wang asked in confusion.”Apparently, it was news from Wei Manor, and Ying Zheng knew nothing about this place.
" That's the Mo Family's most secretive stronghold," Li Si said." It's also the safest hiding place for traitors from all over the world.”
Hearing this, the King of Qin couldn't help but frown and say," I didn't expect that there would be a place in the Great Qin Empire that the laws of the Great Qin Empire couldn't control. What's the reason?"”
Li Si quickly explained," The Mohist City of Traps is hidden in the mountains. The terrain there is strange. There are steep cliffs for dozens of miles. It is difficult to climb even with light equipment and bare hands, let alone armored soldiers and troops. Surrounded by the turbulent river below, the water was densely covered with reefs and rocks. Boats often hit the rocks and were destroyed. What was even more peculiar was the ever-changing sea of clouds. The weather was sometimes sunny and sometimes rainy. It was easy to get lost walking in the mountains.”
After hearing Li Si's words, Qin Wang's frown deepened.
"The Mohist School was founded four hundred years ago and was known for being proficient in mechanisms. It is said that this City of Traps is located in a strategic location and is very well hidden. Moreover, the design is exquisite and the mechanisms are complicated. It took the disciples of the Mohist School hundreds of years to successfully build it.”Li Si said.
"It took over a hundred years to build it, which means that the Mo family had already started building this fortress before Great Qin unified the world?”Qin Wang asked.
"That's right."
"What's their purpose in doing this?”
"According to the words of those rebels: Years of war would eventually destroy the world, and this city would become their last paradise to avoid war and enjoy a peaceful life.”After hearing Li Si's words, Qin Wang fell into deep thought. He looked at the mountains in the distance and the palaces and pavilions nearby.
The King of Qin said to Li Si," For seven hundred years, the world has been divided. The powers of each country were divided. Everyone had different languages, different languages, different living habits, and different traditional beliefs. Therefore, they would go to war at any time. Moreover, this war had not stopped for a whole 700 years. The reason I destroyed the six dynasties was to eliminate these barriers. Without the division of national boundaries and the obstruction of language, people could live together harmoniously. Only such a country was qualified to be called a paradise!”
"Ever since His Majesty unified the world, there has been no war for three years.”
"Everything in this world is Great Qin's territory, and the people living on this land are Great Qin's people.”As he spoke, Qin Wang looked at the sky in the distance. The flag with the word Qin was fluttering in the wind. The clouds in the sky changed, and the mountains in the distance rose and fell."Great Qin will never allow a place like the Mohist City of Traps to exist!”
"Yes, sir!"
"You said that the previous operation was to play hard to get. The goal was to let Ge Nia and the rebels hide in the City of Traps so that they could find out where the City of Traps was hiding!”
"Yes, sir! "That's what I plan to do," Li Si quickly replied.
"Now that you have found it, I believe you should have a plan for the next step!”
"As Your Majesty expected, this subject has already begun to deploy the attack plan.”
"Oh, tell me."
"The City of Traps is exquisitely designed and impregnable. To break through its defenses, one must be proficient in the art of traps.”
"Someone proficient in mechanisms?"
"Your Majesty, do you still remember that shocking duel 300 years ago to make the Chu Country cancel their plan to attack the Song Country?"
"Are you talking about the Gongshu family?"
"That's right! The Gongshu family is the Mo family's arch-enemy. They are good at overbearing mechanism techniques."
"Tyrannical Mechanical Art. It sounds to my liking." As he spoke, Ying Zheng's eyes shone with a cold light.
Looking at Mu Yuan who was slowly leaving them, Tian Ming felt very surprised.
"Eh, there are words on that big stone board.”Looking at the large stone slab opposite him, Tian Ming said,"Oh no, I can't understand it again."
"On it were written the words 'Paradise in the World'. Moreover, it's written in the language of the Song Country." Han Tian walked over and said to Tianming," I also learned the languages of several countries in the Little Sage Manor. But ever since Ying Zheng destroyed the six dynasties, it was forbidden to use them.”
"Song Country?"
"The ancestor of the Mo family is from the Song Country." Yue Er explained.
"Hey, it's fine if you brought Han Tian here, but why did you bring Ge Nia as well?”Thief Zhi turned around and said to Master Ban,""A snow maiden and a little Gao. Do you want the City of Traps to fall into chaos?”
"Didn't they all go out? I'll explain slowly when they come back.”Old Man Ban said.
"Hey, what are you two whispering about?”"What's the relationship between the snow maidens and Second Uncle?" Tianming asked. What was the relationship between Xiao Gao and the uncle? Or was there some relationship between the snow maidens and the uncle? What was the relationship between Xiao Gao and Second Uncle? Perhaps Xiao Gao and the snow maidens were somehow related to Second Uncle? Or do Xiao Gao and the snow maidens have anything to do with Uncle?"
"Ah!" Old Man Ban and Thief Zhi screamed,""I beg you to stop, I'm about to throw up!"
"Little Gao?" Ge Nia had also heard their conversation.
Soon, they reached the top. As soon as they got off the boat, they were greeted by a secret path. There was only a narrow passage here, and huge gears were rotating around it. The torches lit up the mountain wall, giving people a gloomy feeling.
Old Man Ban turned around and said to Ge Nie and Tian Ming,"Since this is your first time here, I'll tell you how to walk through this passage. Oh, right, Mr Han, you have to listen carefully too. He had to listen carefully, or his life would be in danger!”
"Life is in danger! It was so terrifying. Could it be that this passage could eat people?”Tianming said in surprise.
"Cannibalism? If a tiger ate you, it would spit out the bones. If you took a wrong step here, you might not even be able to find ashes.”Old Man Ban said.
"Please speak, Senior."
"Pay attention to the fact that the ground under your feet is made up of squares. There are two squares that are adjacent to each other. It is safe to step on one of them, while the other will trigger a mechanism.”Old Man Ban explained.
Hearing Old Man Ban's words, Tianming pretended to carefully observe the square grid on the ground. When he heard Old Man Ban say that it would trigger a mechanism, Tianming immediately asked,"What mechanism?"”
Old Man Ban didn't answer immediately. He looked around on the ground and finally picked up a piece of rotten wood. Then, Old Man Ban casually threw it into the passage. The piece of wood hit a square grid, and the grid opened at once. A mechanism stretched out and clamped the wood tightly. All of a sudden, a few arrows were shot out. The moment the arrows hit the wood, they immediately started burning. Seeing the wood burning, Tianming opened his mouth in surprise.”
"There is tree oil on the crossbows, and they will burn at the slightest touch. The fire is ten times stronger than usual. Therefore, one could only step on the squares with the sun pattern on them, and never step on the squares with the moon on them.”Old Man Ban explained.
"Old man, why do you have to set up so many terrifying traps in your own home?”Seeing such a terrifying mechanism, Tianming asked.
"The disciples of the Mo family have undergone strict training and are familiar with the terrain. These mechanisms are to deal with those unwelcome 'guests'."
"Unwelcome guests? Who is it?"
"For example, the King of Qin, Ying Zheng!" Thief Zhi walked over and said.
"Yes... You seem to hate him very much!" Tianming said.
"Everyone standing here hates Ying Zheng.”
"Then let's go!" Old Man Ban didn't answer and took the lead to walk on the stone slabs.
"Tianming, you have to be careful." Yue Er walked over and said.
"Follow my footsteps. Don't step on the wrong one.”Ge Nia said as he walked over.
"Don't worry! Uncle."
Tian Ming followed Ge Nia carefully as he followed the uncle onto the stone path. Han Tian walked behind Old Man Ban.
Soon, Ge Nia and the others had passed through the stone path, and Tianming had reached the last square. Tianming suddenly didn't know where to go, because he realized that the square he was stepping on had a moon pattern on both sides.
"Eh? What was going on? These two pieces have the same pattern." Tianming said.
"Hehe, Tianming, come over quickly!”Yue Er said.
When Tianming saw that everyone was looking at him, he said foolishly,"We're already out, aren't we?"”
"There are no more traps here.”Ge Nia said.
"Aren't you a hero? You're acting a little like a bear now." Old Man Ban said sarcastically.
"After walking for so long in the eerie cave, I was just stretching my muscles. Who said I was afraid?”As he spoke, Tianming really started moving. He moved his hands and feet, bent over, and stretched out his hands.
"Alright, Tianming, stop fooling around and come over quickly.”Han Tian said.
However, Tianming's movements became increasingly larger.
"Ah... Ah..."
As Tianming lost his balance, he fell backward and reflexively pressed his hand down. When Yue Er saw that Tian Ming was pressing on the square with the moon pattern, she exclaimed,"Tian Ming!" No!"
"I can't hold on!" Old Man Ban shouted.
Han Tian wanted to teleport over to save Tianming, but the reaction time was too short. It was less than a second, and he was not fully prepared.
With a bang, Tianming was pressed to the ground. Yue 'er covered her eyes in fear and did not dare to look. Old Man Ban and Thief Zhi were also so shocked that their mouths were wide open. Miss Rong also showed a rare look of worry. Ge Nia and Han Tian's hearts skipped a beat. Yue Er slowly released her hand and realized that the mechanism had not been triggered.
"Uh... Hehe, I'm fine." Tianming said.
Only then did everyone see that Tianming had pressed the square with the sun pattern, and they all heaved a sigh of relief.
Tianming walked in front of everyone and said,"Hehe, let's open..." Open a…Jokes…Hehe." Seeing everyone's reproachful gazes, Tianming's speech became less fluent.
"It's not funny at all." Miss Rong said coldly.
"This child is smart and quick-witted. He has extraordinary courage and insight, but he is simple, childish, and rash. He is still an unpolished piece of ordinary jade. In the future, they would be good and evil, and their life experiences would be different. They would grow into two completely opposite people.”Ge Nia thought.
"Uh... How boring. Let's go!" Old Man Ban said as he wiped his sweat.
"Tianming, don't joke around like this. In order to prevent bad people from finding the pattern of passage, the squares of the sun and moon on this passage have to be changed once a day. The disciples of the Mo family had to answer the password correctly to know which area was safe.”Yue Er said.
After hearing this, Tianming also revealed a look of shame. He turned his head to look at the passage he had just walked through, and he was so frightened by the sound of the gears turning that he shivered. He turned around and saw Ge Nia and Han Tian standing in front of him.
"Tianming, you can't joke like this. Do you know how worried I was just now?”Han Tian said to Tianming, then shook his head in disappointment and followed Miss Rong and the others. Only Ge Nie Tianming remained.
"Uncle, you want to criticize me too, don't you?”Tianming lowered his head and whispered.
Ge Nia bent down and said to Tian Ming,"I just want you to understand one thing!"”
"Hmm? What logic is that?"
"Courage is not proven by making others worry for him, especially those who care about him. A strong person can make his friends and family feel safe and at ease. Can you understand this?”
"Uncle, no one has ever said these words to me. I don't quite understand.”
"It is indeed not easy to understand. You might need a long time to understand this principle. I hope you can promise me that you will remember these two words in your heart, okay?”
"Yes! Uncle, I will definitely remember."
Ge Nia also left after saying that. Tianming was alone behind him with his head lowered, looking quite disappointed.
"Brat." Tianming looked up and saw that it was a thief's plantar.
"I think that move of yours is quite fun.”
"Hmm? Really?" When Tianming heard this, he immediately perked up.
"Even the brothers who have lived here for many years don't dare to play this trick.”
"What kid? My name is Tianming."
"Tianming? What's your surname? Is your surname Tian?" As he spoke, he and Tianming followed.
"Lord Wei Zhuang." A masked man said.
" Li Si, why are you looking for me?"
"Lord Prime Minister has informed me that the Gongshu family has already moved out. Please be prepared.”
"Understood."
"Who are we sending this time?" Chi Lian asked.
"Let the hidden bat and Lin 'er go over."
"Both of them are going?"
" The net has been spread out for a long time. It's time to close it," Wei Zhuang said as he looked at the sky.
After Tianming and the others walked around a corner, Tianming suddenly heard a strange sound, so he asked,"What sound?"”
"You'll know when you see it."
After walking for a while, everyone came to the edge of a cliff. On the other end of the cliff, a suspension bridge slowly lowered. It turned out that the source of the sound was a huge waterfall. There were many large gears rotating at the bottom of the waterfall.
"Let's go!" Old Man Ban took the lead and walked onto the suspension bridge.
Walking on the suspension bridge, Tianming saw the gears in the water and asked Robber Zhi,"What are the big wheels below for?"”
"What did you say?" Thief Zhi didn't seem to hear him.
"What are those big wheels at the bottom for?”Tianming raised his voice.
"You can't hang fish here!" Thief Zhi replied.
"I'm asking what those big wheels are for?”
"Oh, there's no fish, so how can there be prawns?”
"Uh... I'm asking what those big wheels are for?”
"Oh, I understand now. You want to go down and swim. That won't do. The current is too fast.”
"Ah!" Tianming was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.
"Haha, I'm just teasing you. The gear below is the heart of the Mechanical City.”
"Heart?"
"As long as they start to move, the City of Traps will have an endless supply of power.”
There was an old man with a white beard standing on the other side of the bridge. Old Man Ban walked over and said,"Brother Xu, you're a busy man. You're here to welcome us."?”
This white-bearded old man was wearing a gray robe with white edges. The word 'Xu' was printed on the back. Old Man Ban was stunned when he saw that the person had no reaction.
"Teacher Xu isn't interested in a rotten old man like you!”Thief Zhi said.
"Is this Old Man Xu like you? Is he here to welcome a beauty?”Old Man Ban asked in confusion.
"Of course not! Even if you used your toes to think, you should understand what Old Xu was most fascinated with!”
Following Teacher Xu's gaze, everyone's gaze fell on Han Tian and Ge Nia. Han Tian and Ge Nia also noticed that their swords, Waning Moon and Deep Rainbow, were trembling. With two swooshing sounds, the two swords unsheathed themselves and flew towards Teacher Xu. Master Xu stretched out his hands, and two swords appeared in his hands.
Master Xu looked at the waning moon, then at Yuan Hong and said,""What a pair of good swords. One is extremely hot, while the other is piercingly cold. But why have I never seen this Waning Moon before?”
" This sword." Han Tian wanted to say it, but he couldn't remember it. He only remembered that this sword had always been by his side.
"The materials used to make this Waning Moon are rare in the world. It can be said to be a rare treasure." The power of this sword could surpass any sword on the ranking list.”
"What?!" Everyone present was stunned.
"Good sword, keep it!" Master Xu said.”As he spoke, he threw the sword back into the scabbard in Han Tian's hand.
Teacher Xu shifted his gaze to the rainbow. His gaze became a little heavy. He used two fingers to swipe across the sword, and Yuan Hong seemed to be responding, humming the sword.
"Hey! This is my uncle's sword, return it quickly!”Tianming said when he saw that the uncle's sword had been taken away.
Teacher Xu ignored Tianming and only cared about his sword. He looked at it and touched it again and again.
"Hey! I'm talking to you!"
Ge Nia walked forward and stopped the dawn as he asked Master Xu,"Could you be…"
"My surname is Xu. Brothers, please give me face and call me Teacher Xu.”Teacher Xu replied.
"So it's the Sword Venerable, Teacher Xu. The treasured swords forged in your hands are all divine weapons and sharp blades that swordsmen dream of.”Ge Nia said.
"Compared to this Yuanhong and Waning Moon, I've only learned a little.”Master Xu said indifferently.
" Then the senior who forged Yuan Hong is..."
"It's my mother."
"So Teacher Xu's mother was the one who forged Yuan Hong! No wonder Teacher Xu seemed to be about to cry when he saw Yuan Hong.”Tianming thought.
"This is the last work of her life. You've found a good owner for this sword.”Master Xu said slowly.
Although he had accompanied the sword on his journey and had personally used it, Tianming had never thought that in the eyes of some people, the sword was such a sacred symbol. They could associate all their happiness and sadness with the sword, and they could also pour their dreams into the three-foot-long bronze sword. Tianming had heard that Uncle had the title of Sword Saint, but every time he asked Uncle, he would deny it with silence. However, Tianming could feel more and more clearly that this uncle was such a person, the kind of person who gave his life to the sword.
Teacher Xu sheathed his sword accurately and turned around to enter the city. He seemed to have thought of something and said," There is another sword in the city. It is called 'Water Freezing.' This sword and the Yuanhong Sword were incompatible in nature. From the materials used to the forging process, they were completely different. These two swords were destined to be incompatible. Shui Han was ranked seventh on the sword manual, although he was five ranks lower than Yuan Hong. However, the top ten swords in the sword manual all have their own unique Dao. The high or low ranking does not represent the difference in strength. You'd better be careful.”
"What is the one with Water Chill?" Ge Nia asked.
"Little Gao." Teacher Xu said.
"Then will Waning Moon and Water Cold counter each other?”Han Tian asked.
"Waning Moon," Master Xu said,"I don't think so."”
"Let's enter the city!" Teacher Xu said and led the way into the city.
"It's this Xiao Gao again. Who is he?”Tianming muttered to himself thoughtfully.
"A person you must not provoke!”Thief Zhi said as he walked past Tianming.
"Everyone, hurry up and leave! After passing through this thousand-pound gate, it was the inner city of the City of Traps.”Old Man Ban said. As the thousand-pound gate was slowly lifted, intense light shot out from inside. After passing through the thousand-pound gate, everyone finally entered the inner city of the City of Traps. As far as the eye could see, the scene was filled with vitality, just like the Mo Gui Pond. The winding red corridor was built against the mountain, like a giant snake lying on the mountain peak.
At this moment, some people ran past in front of them. They seemed to be in a hurry. Old Man Ban was a little confused, so he asked,"Brother Xu, what's going on?"”
"I don't know! It shouldn't be an enemy situation, or else there would be an alarm.”
Thief Zhi used his ultimate skill, Divine Movement Skill, and teleported in front of a person. He stopped him and asked,"What happened?" Everyone is in such a hurry."
The person who was stopped was wearing black and white clothes. He seemed to be a disciple of the Mo family. When he saw that it was Robber Zhi, he said respectfully,"Leader Robber Zhi, I heard that a young man has come. He is born with divine strength and has actually defeated many of our brothers from the Forging Division. He has even lured Leader Tie out to compete with him!"”After saying that, the person ran away, eager to watch the show.
"Big Iron Hammer is competing with others in strength!”Thief Zhi said to Old Man Ban.
Old Man Ban was a little surprised when he heard that.”
"Let's go! I can't wait to see who it is.”Robber Zhi said impatiently.
"Sister Rong, let's go and take a look too!”Yue 'er was also filled with curiosity. She also wanted to see who was so powerful. Because in the City of Traps, the hammer was the strongest.
"Yue 'er, aren't you tired from the long journey?”Miss Rong asked.
"Sister Rong, I want to see it too!"
At this time, Tianming could not wait any longer. As he followed those people, he said,"What are you waiting for? Let's go!"”
When Thief Zhi saw Tianming run out, his eyes lit up, and the corners of his mouth curled up into a small arc. Tianming quickly ran in front and followed in a flash. In a short while, he caught up with Tianming.
"Little brat, work harder!" After saying that, he secretly circulated a little internal strength and sped up. In a flash, he rushed to the front of Tianming.
When Tianming saw that he was lagging behind, he was very unhappy and his legs started running as if they were convulsing. "Ah! Wait for me! Ah!"
Thief Zhi turned around and saw that at his current speed, Tianming was actually able to keep up with his speed, so he praised,"You're not slow!"”
"Of course!"
"But still…is... No, no, no. Enough... Hurry..." The Thief Plantar increased his internal strength and his speed became even faster. In a flash, he could not even see his figure. He could only hear the voice that was transmitted back.
"Ah! Stop right there!" Tianming used all his strength, but he still couldn't catch up to the Thief Zhi. After all, Thief Zhi's Divine Movement Technique had already reached the point of perfection, how could Tianming keep up?
"That Thief Zhi ran so fast. What if he bumped into something?”Han Tian thought. Thief Zhi wasn't that stupid. Ever since he finished the race with Han Tian, he had learned to look at things while running.
When they reached their destination, they saw a large group of people in front of them. Everyone was surrounded by a circular field. The entire field was illuminated by lights, and it did not look like they were in a cave at all. There was a sea of people surrounding them, and it was so crowded that not even water could leak out. Tianming squeezed in forcefully.
"Coming, coming." The two Mo Family disciples around Tian Ming said.
Tianming looked over and saw a burly man walking out. That burly man had well-developed muscles and was mighty and majestic. On his back was a large black iron hammer. It must be the big iron hammer that Thief Zhi had mentioned. His bright eyes looked around, looking for his opponent.
"Yi, isn't that Shaoyu?" Tianming widened his eyes and saw Shaoyu standing in the middle.
"Isn't that Master Fan and Uncle Liang?”Han Tian and the others also walked in and saw the person standing in the middle.
"Second Uncle, you're here." Tianming saw Han Tian and the others and hurriedly greeted them. Then he asked Miss Rong,"Why did Shaoyu and the others come here?"”
"Make way in front. Hey, make way.”At this moment, someone interrupted Tianming. Tianming turned around and looked.
Thump, thump, thump. The heavy footsteps shook the earth. 12 disciples of the Mo Family carried a bronze cauldron and walked forward. They panted heavily under the pressure, and their footsteps were very heavy. Sweat dripped down from their faces and was instantly drowned by the dust that rose from the ground. The person in front shouted, as if the cauldron would smash a big hole in the ground if it accidentally fell.
Tianming was engrossed in watching when he suddenly heard a discussion behind him.
"Oh my god, twelve people! How much weight does this cauldron have?"
"At least a thousand pounds."
"I think it's not just that! These twelve people were all brothers from the Forging Department under Big Iron Hammer. Their strength was extraordinary, and even they found it difficult to carry them. It was definitely more than 1,000 pounds!”Two disciples of the Mo Family discussed. One of them was fat and the other was thin, forming a stark contrast.
Han Tian was also very puzzled.”
After the cauldron was placed in the middle of the field, Big Iron Hammer walked up to it and grabbed it with one hand. Do you still dare to compete?"
"What's there to be afraid of?" Shaoyu replied indifferently.
"Alright." After saying that, the big iron hammer walked to the cauldron. He grabbed the cauldron's ear with one hand and one of its legs with the other. After a moment of silence, he shouted," Wah!" The cauldron was slowly lifted up.
" Good!" The crowd burst into enthusiastic cheers.
"The big hammer is too powerful. Twelve people had to put in so much effort to carry it, but he raised it with a single hand.”Fatty said.
The big iron hammer looked at Shaoyu with an air of divinity. He threw the cauldron, and the cauldron appeared in front of Shaoyu. With a thud, a lot of dust flew up.
"Hehe, it's not too late to give up now.”The big iron hammer clapped his hands and dusted off the dust as he said to Shaoyu.
Shaoyu didn't say anything. Clearly, he didn't have the slightest intention of giving up. He walked in front of the cauldron and slowly walked around it, carefully examining it.
The Thief Zhi at the side seemed to be very interested in Shaoyu's next performance. He raised his eyebrows and the corners of his mouth revealed a small arc.
"I don't think that kid can do it." Fatty said.
"That's right! It was fine if he couldn't lift it, but it would be dangerous if he exhausted his strength halfway!”The thin man said.
At this moment, Shaoyu knelt down in front of the cauldron and hugged one of the cauldron's feet with both hands.
"What was that?" The thin man asked curiously.
"It's easier to keep your balance when you raise the hammer with your hands apart. With two hands holding one leg, he wouldn't be able to lift it steadily even if he did. If such a huge bronze cauldron were to fall down, something would probably happen!”Fatty replied.
Seeing Shaoyu lift it like that, everyone was very worried. At this moment, Shaoyu's expression did not change at all. He faced the cauldron in front of him very calmly.
"Ah... Rise!" Shaoyu suddenly exerted force, concentrating all the strength in his body on his arms, exploding out in an instant. Shaoyu threw the cauldron into the air.
"Ah!" The hundreds of onlookers were all dumbfounded and shocked.
"So powerful!" Han Tian was also shocked." If I don't use my internal energy and only rely on my body, I'm afraid I won't be able to lift it up." This young man was really extraordinary. He would definitely make a name for himself in the future.”
The bronze cauldron rose to the highest point and quickly smashed towards Shaoyu. Before the cauldron arrived, the strong wind it brought with it had already made his clothes flutter, and the dust on the ground flew into the air.
"Hey!" The bronze cauldron gradually enlarged in his eyes. Shaoyu exhaled and opened his mouth. He stretched out his hands, as if Pangu was supporting the sky.
With a bang, the cauldron collided with his hand. His body immediately sank, and his legs bent. The ground under his feet cracked like a spider web.
" Ahhh…" Shaoyu held the bronze cauldron with all his might. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead. But then, he gritted his teeth and opened his eyes in anger. He squeezed out every bit of strength in his body. Although it was difficult, he still slowly raised the bronze cauldron above his head.
"Good!"
"Good!"
"Good!"
The space was silent for a moment, then immediately erupted with cheers like a tsunami. No matter what era it was, no matter who it was, there was a deep reverence in the depths of their hearts towards powerful forces…
Shaoyu was indeed born with divine strength, able to achieve this level at the age of fourteen. When he grew up, he would at least be a brave general who could dominate the battlefield and be invincible.
Seeing Shaoyu steadily catch the falling bronze cauldron and slowly raise it above his head, Han Tian could not help but show a surprised expression.
With a thud, Shaoyu threw the bronze cauldron in front of the big iron hammer.
"How is it? Do you still want to compete?" After the cheers subsided, Shaoyu moved his wrist and said in a clear voice.
"According to the Yan Country's calculation. This cauldron weighs two thousand five hundred jin. I was only able to lift it when I was eighteen. You are only fourteen now. You win.”The big iron hammer glanced at Shaoyu, pointed at the bronze cauldron and said straightforwardly,
"Good!"
"Good!"
"Good!"
The surrounding Mo disciples cheered again, not only for Shaoyu, but also for the big iron hammer. This was the commander of their Mo Family. He dared to do what he did. Even if he lost, he had to admit it.
"Brother Tie is too polite. Shaoyu doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth.”Just as Shaoyu was all smiles and accepting everyone's cheers, Xiang Liang immediately walked over to smooth things over.
" If your Xiang Clan has such a junior, that bastard Ying Zheng will not have a good life, hahahaha…" Big Iron Hammer was very straightforward and did not have any ill feelings in his heart. Instead, he started to praise Shaoyu.
Peng, at this moment, a stone smashed onto Shaoyu's head.
"Eh, who is it?" Shaoyu rubbed his head and looked around, not knowing who had ambushed him.
"Tianming, that brat, is messing around again. He doesn't even know where to joke.”Han Tian looked at Tian Ming and shook his head helplessly.
"Hey!" Big Iron Hammer grabbed the second stone thrown by Tianming and said with a dark face,"" Stealthily plotting? Who is it?!"
"Let me go, let me go." The huge cave was silent at first. Then, Tianming's cry rang out. It turned out that what he had done earlier had been seen by the two Mo Family disciples behind him. At this moment, his hands and shoulders were grabbed by them, making it difficult for him to move.
"Bring him here." Big Iron Hammer looked at Tian Ming from afar and said sternly.
"You two bastards, what are you doing? Put me down.”Amidst the curses, Tianming was grabbed by the arms of two Mo disciples and brought to the front of the huge hammer.
"You're a little brat from that division. How dare you behave atrociously in front of me? Do you know what the consequences are?”The big hammer raised his right hand and exerted force. The stone from before was instantly crushed into powder and scattered through the gaps between his fingers.
Seeing this scene, Tianming's pupils constricted, and his face turned slightly green.
"Push him in front of me."
The two Mo Family disciples looked at each other, stretched out their hands, and pushed Tianming out, causing him to fall to the ground with a thud.
"Hey, kowtowing to big brother as soon as we meet. You really know how to be polite.”Shaoyu walked in front of Tianming and squatted down as he said with a smile.
"Uh, I haven't seen you in a long time. I really miss you.”Tianming rolled his eyes and said with a flattering expression.
"Ah?" Hearing this, Shaoyu was shocked.""Since when did Tianming take the initiative to call me big brother? Did the sun rise from the west?”
"Ah!" Taking advantage of Shaoyu's shock and distraction, Tianming immediately revealed his true appearance and shouted loudly. Like a hungry tiger pouncing on a sheep, he charged towards him.
Shaoyu then discovered it, but he didn't have time to dodge. Seeing that Tianming was about to crash into Shaoyu, a large hand suddenly reached out from behind and grabbed Tianming in the air.
"Eh? " Aaah…" Tianming struggled with all his might, but his body couldn't move any further. He couldn't help but turn around and look at Big Hammer's face.
"So that's how you think of me.”Clapping his hands, Shaoyu stood up with a gloating smile on his face.
"You really won't cry until you see the coffin. Looks like I have to give you a taste of my power.”Big Iron Hammer said in a deep voice as he grabbed Tianming's neck like he was grabbing a chick.
"Aiya."
Just as Big Hammer was about to teach Tianming a good lesson, Tianming suddenly turned around and bit his hand. Taking advantage of the pain, he subconsciously took a few steps back. The moment he let go of his hand, he stomped his foot and immediately escaped from Big Hammer's hand, landing on the ground.
A moment later, Big Iron Hammer waved his hand and immediately took a few steps forward, arriving behind Tian Ming. At this moment, his face was red and he gritted his teeth. It was obvious that he was really angry. However, Tianming did not run away. Instead, he turned around, raised his head, and puffed out his chest. He looked straight at the big hammer, looking somewhat heroic.
Han Tian was about to step forward to stop her, but he was stopped by Miss Rong.
"The Mo family has always advocated being open and aboveboard. He used a stone to plot against Shaoyu, so the big iron hammer naturally wanted to teach him a lesson.”Duanmu replied softly with an expressionless face.
"What Miss Rong said makes sense. I completely agree.”Thief Zhi suddenly came over with a fawning smile.
At this moment, Big Hammer was getting impatient. He raised an eyebrow and reached out his right hand to grab Xiang Tianming. Tianming didn't hesitate either. He lowered his head and dodged the big hand that was grabbing at him with the big iron hammer. He bent his waist backward and pressed his hands on the ground lightly. With a force, his entire body bounced back and hid behind the bronze cauldron.
What followed next was a cat-and-mouse game that revolved around the bronze cauldron. In the end, although Tianming was short and agile, he did not know any martial arts. He could not resist the big iron hammer whose martial arts cultivation had reached a certain realm. He was once again grabbed in the air.
"Where did this little brat come from?" He swung Tianming in the air and asked angrily as he looked around.
" Ahhhh…" Being lifted in the air, Tianming struggled with all his might, baring his fangs and brandishing his claws, but it was useless.
"Big brother Tie, let this child go.”A crisp and ethereal voice suddenly sounded, causing the smell of gunpowder in the air to dissipate.
Who had such a pleasant voice?
Instantly, almost everyone looked in the direction of the voice.
"This voice is so familiar." Han Tian thought.
"Could it be?" Old Man Ban's expression suddenly changed as he hurriedly said to Thief Zhi,"Little Zhi!"
"Oh, I know." When Thief Zhi heard Old Man Ban's voice, he understood what he meant. He grabbed Han Tian's shoulder and pulled him in front of him. Han Tian was looking in the direction of the voice when he was suddenly pulled over by a hand.
"Brother Han, let me take you out for a walk.”After saying that, Thief Zhi pulled Han Tian out of the door.
"Brother Thief Zhi, I think…"
"Hey, don't say so much. I'm just thinking about you.”Thief Zhi interrupted Han Tian's words and forcefully pulled him out. However, he did not expect Han Tian's brocade bag to fall to the ground. It was the same pouch that the snow maidens had given Han Tian. Han Tian had always carried this brocade bag with him as if it was his most precious thing, even after he lost his memory.
In the silence, a woman in a dark blue silk dress slowly walked over.
Her skin was whiter than snow, her figure was graceful, and her facial features were exquisite and perfect, as if they had been specially carved by the heavens. Her eyes were like a pair of aqua blue jadeite, deep and cold with a few hazy clouds, like a dream.
As she walked, her skirt and silver hair fluttered in the wind, like a swallow soaring in the waves. Coupled with the various elegant colors and exquisite ornaments on her body, she looked cold and ethereal, as if a fairy that only existed in legends had walked out of a painting.
"Big Sister Rong, Big Sister Xuenu is back too.”Gao Yue saw the woman and said happily to Duanmu Rong beside her. Duanmu Rong was also speechless. She nodded in response.
The snow maidens strolled past Shaoyu, and even with Shaoyu's temperament, he couldn't help but focus all his attention on her.
When Big Hammer saw the snow maiden walking towards him, he waved the Daybreak in his hand twice and quickly stuffed it behind his back. When she arrived in front of him, he chuckled and said,"Snow maidens, why are you back so soon?”
"We're idle people, we can't be compared to Big Brother Tie who's always busy.”The snow maiden smiled faintly.
"Uhh." Big Hammer rubbed his head and laughed dryly."My small matter is not worth mentioning.”
"Big Brother Iron, you're getting better and better. Your Thunder God Fist has reached perfection.”
"This, hahaha." Big Iron Hammer's face turned red and he felt a little awkward.""I'm just playing with this little brother, I know what I'm doing.”
"Nonsense, who wants to play with you?”Tianming struggled with all his might, and finally, he reached out his head from behind Hammer.
"Hmm? Don't talk nonsense!" Big Iron Hammer was shocked. He stretched out his hand and grabbed Tianming's head, wanting to force him back.
"Hey, hey, what are you doing? Ouch, it hurts so much.”Tianming immediately screamed loudly,"Damn big guy, you want to silence me!"”
"Hehehe." Hammer shoved Tianming behind him while smiling at the snow maidens. However, his expression suddenly froze, and he immediately pulled his hand back.
It turned out that Tianming had once again used his teeth to attack. At this moment, he was like a turtle biting down on the big hammer's finger and hanging it on his arm. No matter how hard the big hammer shook, it would not let go.
"Big brother Tie, let him go.”The snow maidens finally spoke.
"Humph." The big hammer swung its arm hard, and Tianming also opened his mouth and fell down cooperatively.
"It's all thanks to Big Sister Snow Maiden that you didn't get your way.”After glaring at Hammer, Tianming turned to smile at the snow maidens."Hehehe, thanks."
"I asked Big Iron Hammer to spare you because you're a guest of the Mo Family. Don't try to plot against others in the future.”The snow maiden took a few steps forward and stood in front of Tianming. She narrowed her eyes and smiled."If you use your left hand to plot against others, I will chop off your left hand. If you use your right hand to plot against others, I will chop off your right hand. If you use your feet, I will break your legs.”
"You... you... Are you kidding me?" The snow maiden's smile was indescribably beautiful, but Tianming felt his heart tremble.
The snow maidens smiled sweetly at Tianming, but didn't reply.
"You'll know if I'm joking or not when you try.”Big Hammer suddenly added.
" Uh..." Tianming pulled his eyes back and made a face at Big Hammer. He was not afraid of this big guy at all.
Seeing that the matter was over, the snow maiden turned and left without saying a word.
For the sake of the snow maidens, Big Iron Hammer didn't continue to argue with Tianming. He walked over, picked up the bronze cauldron, and called out to the Mo Clan disciples of the Forging Department before leaving.
