While talking, several people had already entered the tunnel.
Although the tunnel is tight and narrow, it is not stuffy. When I took a closer look at it during the night, I found that holes were dug at regular intervals on the wall, and fan-shaped rotating shafts were installed in the holes. I don’t know where the power was provided to keep rotating.
I think the fresh air in the tunnel is exchanged with the outside world through these mechanisms and devices, and is pumped in and out!
Knowing the magic of the mechanisms in the entire courtyard, Ye Wumian looked at Brother Wang Pan and couldn't help but ask: "As Brother Kong Fang said, all the mechanisms here were made by your mother?"
He couldn't believe that that woman who was patriarchal, almost crazy, and completely disregarded the relationship between mother and daughter, could actually have such a genius in the art of mechanism.
Wang Pandi lowered his head and said: "That should be the case. My mother's surname is Mo. There are very few people with the surname Mo in Pingxiang and even Jiangxi. Her ancestors moved here from other places. It is said that they are descendants of Zi Mozi during the Warring States Period. The best is the mechanism technique. It has been passed down from generation to generation. When she came to her, there were no men in the Mo family, and all the skills were passed down to her."
Kong Fangxiong nodded and said: "Yes, Mrs. Wang's mechanism skills are very good. She also made some mountain guarding and killing formations on my martial arts mountain. They are astonishingly powerful and can kill reverse masters!"
Wang Pandi's eyes were complicated and he said: "It's just that in order to give the Wang family an heir, she even gave the Mo family's most precious treasure "The Book of Organs" passed down from her ancestors to the martial arts master. She also severely stopped me and stopped me from continuing to learn more. Advanced mechanism skills."
As she spoke, she sighed melancholy, thinking of her mother who was tied up in the royal courtyard, and felt extremely sad in her heart.
Ye Wumian secretly said: "Mo's master of mechanism skills, how come I didn't see a mechanism when I sneaked into Wang's house? This is strange."
Still thinking about it, when the tunnel reached the end, a black iron crank appeared in front of him, mounted on the stone wall.
Kong Fangxiong and others turned the handle, and amid the flying dust, the stone wall parted, and an open stone chamber gradually emerged under the swaying light of the torch.
In the stone room, there are more than twenty stone beds, large and small, all covered with quilts. When Ye Wumian looked around, he saw about seven or eight babies, each lying on a bed, with a wet nurse taking care of each one beside the bed. It was like a scene in an almshouse.
If this place were not a den of human trafficking thieves, this scene would have a somewhat warm feeling.
Kong Fangxiong pointed at the babies and said: "Because we only went to Wugong Mountain once for delivery two days ago, we currently have a small inventory, only eight goods. Brother Luo, Mrs. Luo, please choose for yourself!"
Chu Yan went forward to check alone.
Ye Wumian seemed to ask casually and said: "If a stronghold like yours is to be run daily, it will probably require a lot of manpower, right?"
Ye Wumian looked around and said with a smile: "There are seven or eight wet nurses alone, not to mention the power to maintain the device."
At this time, Kong Fangxiong no longer suspected Ye Wumian at all. In addition, he was in his own territory, and his body and mind were very relaxed.
He didn't consider the meaning of Ye Wumian's question, and smiled proudly, and said truthfully: "Why do we need so many people? Apart from the goods, there are only four of us senior brothers here. As for the source of power, it all depends on the nearby Pingshui River water, we don’t need to worry about it!”
As he said that, he pointed behind him and included the three big men. It means, "Except for the four of us, there is no one else in this stronghold."
"Brother Kong Fang, are you kidding?"
Ye Wumian looked sideways at the eight busy wet nurses and said, "You don't treat the wet nurses as human beings."
Before Kong Fangxiong could answer, he heard Chu Yan suddenly say: "Husband, come and see, these wet nurses are indeed not human."
In shock, Ye Wumian and Wang Pandi walked up to a wet nurse and took a good look at her.
But seeing that she has a plump figure, fair skin, a friendly smile, and a cute demeanor, she looks like a woman with abundant milk.
Look left and right, this is a living person, how could there be anything wrong?
Ye Wumian laughed uncontrollably and asked in confusion: "How can this not be a human being?"
He turned his head, met the wet nurse's eyes, and asked her: "Madam, they say you are not a human being. Please say a few words quickly to prove them wrong."
Chu Yan covered her mouth and smiled: "Husband, since you are observing closely, you might as well take a closer look at the wet nurse's movements."
Upon closer inspection, Ye Wumian finally discovered something was wrong.
When her eyes met with that of the wet nurse, although there was a smile in her eyes, they were very dull and had no sense of life at all. It seemed that they had never changed and had always been like this.
And as Chu Yan said, if you look at her movements again, you can get more clues.
Every move this wet nurse makes is very mechanical and dull. Compared to the natural joint movement of multiple muscles and bones in a real person's joints, the wet nurse's arms are much stiffer.
"It's strange." Ye Wumian frowned even more tightly and looked at the other wet nurses one by one.
When he looked at her, every wet nurse, without exception, would slowly turn her head and look at him. When you see him talking, no matter what he says, you just smile and nod. When he stops talking, you slowly turn your head and continue to do the business at hand, such as feeding porridge or caressing him, but he never stops. .
"Chuck, lick."
As these movements were performed, Ye Wumian could clearly hear the sound of iron blocks rubbing and squeezing, coming from the wet nurses.
Ye Wumian's pupils suddenly shrank.
The eight wet nurses almost all have the same smile. It seemed friendly at first sight, but after a long time, it gradually turned into something strange, and an indescribable feeling of terror spread from my heart.
"These women..."
Even though he had seen a lot of tricks, tonight's battle still gave him goosebumps.
Those "gurgling" sounds made his teeth sore, his scalp numb, and he shivered a few times.
Kong Fangxiong smiled and said: "Brother Luo, don't be afraid. These eight wet nurses are not real people, but are machines created by Mrs. Wang."
"Institution man? How could he be so lifelike!"
Although he has never seen a gimmick, even if he is like the legendary Gongshu, he only created a gimmick wooden kite and has never created a gimmick in his life.
Thinking about it, it should be that the machine man is extremely difficult to make. It is not easy to make it, let alone to make it look like this.
Kong Fangxiong shook his head and said: "I don't know about this. Mrs. Wang's mechanism skills are so powerful that we are complete laymen. We only have a rough understanding of it. How can we trace its roots?"
In the chat room, Chu Yan brought a child and said with a smile: "Husband, I fell in love with this child at first sight. It doesn't matter, let's buy this one!"
As her eyes flashed, a signal hinting at taking action came to her.
Ye Wumian had been paying attention to her, and when he received this signal, he understood it immediately.
The murderous intention is moved!
