As he spoke, the old man called towards the inside of the village: "Xiao Xie, a guest has arrived and I want to ask you something."
"Okay, I'll come over right now." The slightly green words sounded. The young man in his twenties wiped the sweat from his forehead, took off the black turban, and crawled under the wooden cattle next to the firewood. He came out, put down the tools in his hands, and then ran over.
At the young man's feet, followed a little yellow dog. The dog's foot was made of wood and had a mechanism. It seemed to be a prosthetic leg, but it matched perfectly.
Chen Xiu seemed a little surprised. Such technology was beyond his expectations. Making prosthetic limbs using mechanism techniques was not something that ordinary people could achieve.
"My name is Xie Yuan. I wonder what you want to know about?" The young man looked a little reserved and shy. The young man in front of him had an extraordinary bearing, and he should be a son of a wealthy family.
Chen Xiu smiled gently and said softly: "My surname is Chen. One of my best friends from a young age said that he went to Jinli Island to practice martial arts. For more than three months, no letters were sent home. His family is very worried. , so I entrusted me to look for him and ask him to write a letter to his family, so as to report that he is safe."
"Golden Turtle Island?" Xie Yuan frowned slightly and said with some embarrassment: "Brother Chen, please forgive me for being unreasonable. Please be mentally prepared!"
He said extremely carefully: "A few months ago, the immortal masters on Jinlu Island and the guy who called himself [Sun God Lord] started a war! According to the seniors of Wanfa Palace, it was a real battle between humans and immortals! Then At one stop, the ancient Golden Turtle Island was almost shattered. The ocean with a radius of more than 8,000 miles was completely burned by the sun and turned into a dusty desert! In that battle, I don’t know how many warriors died. How could it have shocked everyone? The existence of square islands.”
"Sun God Lord, isn't that the legendary ancient god in heaven?" Chen Xiu pretended to be surprised and said: "Such an ancient existence is still alive in the world?"
Xie Yuan said helplessly: "That's what the seniors of Wanfa Palace said. I don't know the details. If you want to know more, you can go to the city with me and go to Wanfa Palace to find out. . This matter has caused such a big fuss that there are even rumors that the remnants of the ancient heaven have returned to the human world, trying to make a comeback and compete in the world. Nowadays, the immortal masters and experts from all the major islands are strictly guarding and communicating with each other. Let’s just talk about our Mo Island. Deep in the Wanfa Palace, we have built a four-way teleportation circle, together with islands on three sides, and Golden Turtle Island.”
As he spoke, his voice became a little softer, and he said mysteriously, "Do you know about the teleportation circle? It is an existence that can cross rivers and seas in an instant. Only immortals can do it. This one on our island is said to be As long as it senses the changes in the atmosphere of heaven and earth, it will automatically operate, and the immortals from Jinluo Island will arrive!"
"Fortunately, I have always been cautious and chose to become a mortal to find out the news." Chen Xiu's heart was trembling. Can Jinli Island reach this island in a moment?
At this time, there were four black iron machines with clear structure outside the door, dragging the carriage out of the intersection. The driver waved: "Master Xie, don't you need to go to Wanfa Palace? I'm here to pick you up."
"Brother Chen, if you are anxiously waiting for the answer, you can come with me to the Wanfa Palace. The elders there may know the answer." Xie Yuan said kindly.
Chen Xiu slightly cupped his hands: "It's so good, but it would be disrespectful to refuse."
After getting on the machine carriage, he spoke: "I heard that Wanfa Palace is the inheritance of the ancient Mohist family. Is this true?"
"According to the elders of Wanfa Palace, it is indeed the inheritance of Mohism in the Middle Ages. In the land of China, in the era of Emperor Wu of the Divine Han Dynasty, the Confucian saints proposed the concept of 'deposing all schools of thought and respecting only Confucianism'. From then on, hundreds of schools of thought The inheritance of the Han Dynasty did not have support at that time, so the Mohist giant chose to travel far away to Wangwang, thinking of going to Yingzhou, Penglai and other fairy mountains. Then, he encountered a stormy sea, and unknowingly, he came to We arrived at this island. From then on, the inheritance of Wanfa Palace began." Xie Yuan held his chin, with reverie in his eyes; "For so many years, the seniors of Wanfa Palace have been looking forward to going to the ancestral land of the Mohist family. Go to the Chinese mainland. It’s a pity that for thousands of years, we haven’t been able to find a way out.”

At this time, the carriage stopped on the side of the road. When Chen Xiu was confused, Xie Yuan jumped out of the carriage and greeted him: "The road ahead is long and the mountains are steep. Let's take the Wanli carriage to Wanfa Palace."
Chen Xiu got out of the carriage and saw the steel locomotive parked on the track in the distance, which looked like a huge dragon lingering in the mountains.
"Sir, I paid for you. Come up quickly. The train will leave soon." Xie Yuan threw a metal card to Chen Xiu.
"Destination - Wanfa City, estimated time: two hours." Looking at this piece of metal, Chen Xiu didn't know how to describe his expression for a moment.
Is this a train?
Accompanied by the roaring sound, the steel locomotive drove on the mountain road. The mountain road was extremely steep, but inside the car it felt like walking on flat ground.
"The mechanism technique is really convenient!" Chen Xiu sighed softly.
Thousands of miles away, there is no need to walk, and there is no need to worry about the invasion of monsters and ghosts. If such technology can be brought back to the Tang Dynasty, it will be a great merit.
"When I become a machine master of Wanfa Gong, I can make machine puppets, machine beasts, and even machine prosthetics. At that time, my Dahuang will be replaced with more convenient machine legs, and I will have self-defense skills. , you can try to travel all over Mo Island." Xie Yuan said with emotion.
Chen Xiu held his chin and glanced outside the glass window. He could see the huge light built in the valley, shining in the sea of clouds.
"That's an everlasting lantern, made by the seniors of Wanfa Palace. It uses ancient sun stone as the main material, supplemented by ten thousand refined fire copper. It can illuminate a place, and it can also dispel evil and ghosts. It is said that this is to make people in the mountains Woodcutters and herb collectors can more fully walk on mountain roads, and it is specially made." There was a bit of pride on Xie Yuan's face, this is the convenience that the mechanism technique brings to people.
"We have arrived at the Wanfa Palace." Xie Yuan spoke expectantly, and the motorcycle stopped quietly. Chen Xiu got out of the car, looked at the many young men passing by with swords, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said softly: "Qi Refiner" ?”
"Young Master, you have good eyesight! Today's Mo Island is governed by two major forces. One is for the Wanfa Palace, which specializes in the art of mechanism and the method of refining Qi of the soul; the other is for the Sword Sect, although it is also the soul of the soul. The method of refining qi, but more importantly, it is the way of swordsmanship, raising a flying sword, and taking people's heads thousands of miles away. Unfortunately, my talent is too poor, I can't follow the way of flying swords, and I can't become a swordsman. Therefore, Just choose the mechanism technique." Xie Yuan sighed.
At this moment, someone exclaimed: "Get out of the way, get out of the way! There's something wrong with Jianwan's seal, get out of the way!!"
Between the roars, a ferocious energy erupted.
A flash of sword light went straight into the sea of people, slashing through many machine puppets, and pointed directly at Xie Yuanzhi's location.
At this time, a big white hand held down the extremely ferocious flying sword, and the words sounded indifferently:
"Be careful, it won't be good if you hurt someone."
