In the agency city, Master Ban was teaching the disciples of the agency department as usual.
However, when he took out a new mechanism creation as usual, he found that the disciples in the audience did not show the same excitement and cheers as before. Only a few people gave face to warm up the atmosphere. Most people looked down and sighed in frustration.
This surprised him. Could it be that his memory was bad? Has this mechanism bird been explained before?
Master Ben quickly searched his recent memory and found that there was no such thing. As a mechanism master, he is very methodical in his actions.
The highest achievement of the Mohist Mechanism Art is the four major Mechanism Spirit Beasts, White Tiger, Suzaku, Xuanwu and Qinglong.
Among them, the White Tiger is the main combat aircraft, the Suzaku is the best choice for transmitting information, and the Xuanwu and Qinglong are not accessible to ordinary disciples.
Under the four major magical beasts, there are many simplified versions used to teach disciples step by step. For example, the wooden kite he took out today is the youth version of the mechanical Suzaku.
He was pretty sure this was the first time he was talking about it, but why didn't everyone seem to be interested?
Master Ben, who was puzzled, had to ask questions.
"Mo Yuan, tell me, can you tell which of the structures I've talked about before are used in this mechanical wooden kite?"
The person he named was a young female disciple who was very talented in the art of mechanism. In the past, she often played a role similar to the class representative during the lectures. She was considered to be the most accomplished person in the art of mechanism among this group of disciples.
After Mo Yuan was called, she stood up and lifted her hair. Only then did everyone realize that her big, sparkling eyes were actually swollen like almonds.
This made the class teacher feel nervous. Teachers like students who are smart and have good grades. Especially an old man like Master Ban who has devoted his whole life to the study of mechanism art and is alone, loves young and talented disciples even more.
So he hurried over and asked with concern: "What's going on? Are you sick? Have you seen a doctor? If you feel uncomfortable, don't force yourself to attend the class. If you are behind on your progress, you can find time to ask me alone."
"No, it's okay, teacher, I..."
Just as Mo Yuan was about to defend, he was interrupted by Master Ban, "How do you look like you're okay? Go back and rest first."
"I, I'm just too worried about Brother Jingke..."
Mo Yuan whispered the reason why his condition was so bad. He originally thought he would be laughed at by others, but he did not expect that it would resonate with most of the disciples present.
"Yes, yes, I don't know what happened to Brother Jingke."
"Brother Jingke is not someone who disappears for no reason. He must have encountered some big trouble!"
"With the giant taking action, everything should be fine, right?"
"Then you have to be able to make it in time..."
For a time, the teaching room was filled with various discussions and sighs.
This time after get off work, the master finally understood why everyone was listless today. It turned out that the key crux was here!
But there are some things that cannot be solved even if the cause is known.
For example, if everyone is not interested in studying because they are worried about Jing Ke, then unless Master Ban can make Jing Ke show up immediately to dispel their concerns, it will be useless to say anything. In this state, the efficiency of learning can be imagined.
In fact, it's not that Master Ban doesn't care about Jing Ke, it's just that he already knows his destiny and has learned to let go of things that he can't influence. But those young disciples in their teens and twenties cannot do this.
So Master Ban thought for a while and simply waved his hand: "That's all, let's not talk about theory today. I will take you to practice the White Tiger!"
As soon as these words came out, the Mohist disciples present were stunned, and then they were overjoyed.
Although the mechanism white tiger is the main battle type among the four major mechanism beasts and has the largest number, there are only dozens of them in total. Only the best disciples can gain control authority. Disciples like them who are still learning may not be able to touch it once in several years.
"But let me first say yes, let you try the operation. After that, everyone will submit an analysis report to me, describing your feelings during the actual operation and what advantages and disadvantages you found. This is not just for you to play. Do you understand?"
"Don't worry, we understand!"
As long as you can drive the White Tiger yourself, everything else is not a problem.
Seeing that the energy of his disciples had been reawakened, Master Ban stroked his beard with joy.
In fact, similar situations don't only occur in the mechanics class. Similar situations also occur among disciples in sword-making furnaces, martial arts arenas and other areas.
It's just that physical labor can indeed greatly relieve psychological stress. Once people get tired, they have nothing to think about. Whether it is making swords, forging iron, or performing martial arts competitions, they are all strenuous physical activities, so the disciples' distraction is not obvious.
But machine skills are different. They spend most of the class using their brains, so they are most affected.
…
…
The mechanism white tiger is huge, and its appearance and proportions are basically modeled after those of a ferocious tiger. It is about four to five meters tall, and its total length, including its tail, is nearly fifteen meters. With its silver-gray frame, cold and ferocious claws and tail whip, it looks like a battlefield weapon full of violent aesthetics.
But because of its huge size, it was obvious that ordinary martial arts arenas were not enough for it to be used, so Master Ban took his disciples to a slightly remote mountain forest.
Just as he was directing his disciples to learn how to control the white tiger in pairs, three uninvited guests also quietly stared at him.
"Except for the giants of the Mo family, this old man is the most powerful in mechanism skills. He must know how to get around the forbidden areas of the Mo family."
The Yin Yang family and the Moh family have been hostile to each other for many years, and they know their respective internal intelligence quite well.
The Mo family once split, but later relied on the government city to reintegrate. After integrating various schools, large and small, they were divided into two categories based on their skills - Mo Xia and machine masters.
The reason why they are not divided according to the ideological concepts they adhere to is because there are too many concepts proposed by Mozi and they are completely difficult to separate.
Distinguishing through skills is simple.
Martial arts training belongs to the Mo Xia Department, and those who study mechanism skills are the mechanism masters. It is simple and clear, without any ambiguity.
But if you want to become a Mohist giant, you must take care of both.
Because the mechanism technique is complicated and difficult to learn, compared to the situation where many leaders of the Mo Xia Department coexist, the leader of the mechanism department is only Master Ban. But his right to speak is second only to the giant Six-fingered Black Man, because even many Black Man commanders learned the art of mechanism from Master Ban when they were young.
"I'll capture him directly."
Concubine Yan's movement was stopped by Donghuang Taiyi, "Don't worry, there are several mechanism White Tigers here, and there are so many disciples of the Mo family. Fighting will make too much noise. Let's wait until they disperse."
…
…
Chi Yao did not follow the same path as the three people of the Yin and Yang family.
The machine city is so big, the exploration efficiency is too low if four people work together.
And unlike him who knew that the Phantom Sound Treasure Box was hidden in a mechanism in the Mo family's forbidden area, it was still unknown where the dragon soul he wanted to find was.
From the analysis of Lu Fang's words and his performance in the original plot, he does not seem to be qualified to enter the Mohist forbidden area.
There was no possibility of sneaking in and stealing the dragon soul, but it was really unlikely.
Therefore, Chi Yao is more inclined to think that the dragon soul, which is now a sacred object, is simply regarded as an ordinary object and placed outside casually.
Fortunately, he got a way to detect dragon souls from Lu Fang, otherwise this kind of search for a needle in a haystack would really be a headache.
Chi Yao first controlled the birds, mice and other animals in the organ city to roughly ascertain the general structure and functional division of the secret realm, and then headed towards the area where the disciples lived.
After all, the dragon soul is about the size of a baby's head, and it's hard, so it's not something that's easy to carry around.
Maintaining the secret method he had learned from Lou Lan, Chi Yao circled the disciple's residential area twice, but there was no response.
Then he came to the residence of the commanders.
This time, as soon as he arrived, he felt a somewhat cordial resonance.
"It's here!"
Chi Yao perked up and followed the mysterious connection to a door.
The secret reaction clearly told Chi Yao that the dragon soul was inside.
So without any hesitation, he immediately opened the door and walked in.
This room looks quite simple. Apart from a bed and a cabinet that takes up almost half of the space, there is almost nothing. If it weren't for a few long swords hanging on the wall, it would be no different from a prison cell. .
Loulan's secret power could sense a small area, so it was impossible for Chi Yao to immediately locate the dragon soul after he came in. However, looking at the various odd-shaped ores that filled every grid in the cabinet, Chi Yao was not sure about this. There have been speculations about the owner of this house.
"This should be Mrs. Xu's or Master Xu's room. These ores are probably materials they collected that can be used for growth? So given the characteristics of the dragon soul, maybe it is regarded as some kind of precious material by him?"
When you think about it, it makes sense.
So he began to rummage carefully.
After the scope was limited, he found it quickly. After a while, Chi Yao dug out what looked like a large round potato from the bottom of the cabinet.
The moment he took it, the corner of Chi Yao's mouth curled up.
"Got it!"
It is a tan ball with a smooth surface and some faint lines, making it look a bit like metal. But the touch is not as cold as metal, but rather warm, like a piece of warm jade.
Chi Yao knew that this was the mythical beast Pixiu sleeping, and the real dragon soul was actually in its belly.
There was no rush to wake it up now. Chi Yao put the ball into his clothes and stretched: "My goal has been achieved. I wonder how they are doing over there?"
…
…
When the sun was high, Master Ben finally finished his teaching and was ready to go back for dinner.
After bidding farewell to all the students, he walked alone on the plank road that wound around the side of the steep mountain wall, thinking as he went. If the students are still in the same state next time in class, what should I come up with to motivate them?
At this moment, a black shadow suddenly flashed before his eyes.
"Humph, it's finally over!"
Yan Fei's tone was full of resentment.
She gently dragged the unconscious Master Ban with one hand and quickly moved to a hiding place, and then handed him to Donghuang Taiyi.
Although the Mo family's mechanism skills are superb, they have not yet invented surveillance cameras. Although Mohist disciples driving the mechanism Suzaku patrol the sky from time to time, for masters like the three of them, hiding themselves in the complex terrain of the mechanism city is still a problem. A very simple thing.
Donghuang Taiyi put one hand on Master Ban's head and activated the [Mind Control Curse].
Invisible threads descended from his fingertips and penetrated into the white-haired head. The unconscious Master Ban frowned and seemed to be suffering from some kind of pain. However, facing Donghuang Taiyi's personal actions, he did not The ability to resist.
Not long after, Donghuang Taiyi retracted his palm and threw Master Ban to the ground: "Let's go."
…
…
Although the Mo family's forbidden area is called a forbidden area, its location is not that secret, and it is usually guarded by disciples. It's just that there is a mechanism lock at the entrance to the forbidden area that only the leader knows how to open.
This method is quite similar to the Six-Path Lock on the door of the Yin Yang Family's Luosheng Hall. I don't know who learned from whom.
In the original timeline, it was Gong Shouqiu who cracked the mechanism and was able to penetrate into the forbidden area, but now Donghuang Taiyi has obtained enough information from Master Ban's memory...
He looked at the heavy cast iron door in front of him and stepped forward confidently.
Follow the solution obtained from Master Ben...
In the end, there was no reaction at all, and the motionless iron door seemed to be mocking silently.
Donghuang Taiyi's figure froze imperceptibly, and the Moon God spoke with a hint to calm the atmosphere: "Perhaps it is necessary to have the internal power of the Mo family to drive the mechanism?"
But Chi Yao had no obligation to worry about Donghuang Taiyi's mood and face. He walked up from behind and said, "That's not necessarily true~"
Rustling, rustling~
The three Yin Yang family members suddenly heard a lot of subtle noises under their feet. When they lowered their heads, they saw that the scalps of the two beautiful protectors were all numb.
It turned out that at some point, the road leading to the gate of the forbidden land under their feet had been crowded with a kind of tiny insects.
"Don't be too scared, those are my little cuties, they won't hurt you."
Seemingly seeing the expressions of Moon God and Yan Fei, Chi Yao explained casually.
"What's this?"
Concubine Yan seemed to feel that her performance just now was a bit embarrassing, so she forced herself to ask.
"The gold-eating bug is a kind of poisonous creature that likes to eat metal."
Chi Yao walked to the front, and while directing the Gu insects to bite the wedge of the mechanism, he replied, "Although the Mo family claims to walk on wood and stone, this door is made of solid iron, probably because it is afraid of being used by others. Can it be cracked by violence? But no matter how exquisite the mechanism is, as long as the material itself it is attached to no longer exists, it will have no meaning of existence."
