Chapter 257: Watch
The three days of idle living in Merlin City gave Zhang Liang enough time to straighten out his thoughts, think about his position in the future war, think about summoning, and translate and read the ancient books of words and spirits in his hand.
In addition, Zhang Liang was still waiting, waiting for the incident in the Organ City - after talking to Mozi about the situation of the Organ City that night, Zhang Liang felt an ominous aura approaching the Organ City.
He had deciphered the ancient books of Yanling for more than 20 years, and his consciousness had also been infiltrated in the prophecies of the ancient books for more than 20 years, so his consciousness itself already had a sense of darkness close to the prophecy - this feeling made Zhang Liang believe that the war in the city was imminent.
But Han Xin really couldn't sit still for a long time, he was worried about the illegal forces at the foot of Yuanzi Mountain blocking the road, and at the same time, he was always thinking about Wang Zhaojun after a long absence. So he finally made up his mind to resign to Mozi, and dragged Zhang Liang hard.
At this time, Han Xin and Zhang Liang were standing outside the door of a compartment in the innermost corner of the Mo family's baling room, and they lived here for three days, they were already familiar with the layout of the Mo family, and this innermost compartment was Mozi's usual lounge.
Han Xin stretched out his hand, his expression was firm, and he knocked on the door three times with a clear attitude, and there were three soft sounds on the quaint cedar door.
Han Xin waited quietly, but after the three door rings, everything became extraordinarily silent, and there was no movement from inside the door. At this time, Han Xin couldn't help but think of the embarrassing scene he encountered in the smelting compartment when he first entered Mo's house, maybe Mozi was sitting quietly inside, but he didn't smell anything outside.
Han Xin felt embarrassed at the thought of it, so he subconsciously pushed the wooden door, but as soon as he pushed it, the door opened.
Han Xin and Zhang Hao looked into the door in surprise, but there were only a few wooden chairs inside, a desk, the table was covered with design drawings of various mechanical equipment, and a mechanical lamp hung on the roof of the room, and the titanium white light rendered this simply arranged compartment a layer of unreal beauty.
The two subconsciously walked into the house, but they didn't see Mozi's figure, it seemed that he was indeed not there. But the two of them were not in a hurry, and instead moved their eyes to the only desk in the room, apparently attracted by the design drawings of the mechanisms that were strewn on the table.
They naturally approached the table and glanced at the mysterious drawings on the table that condensed the wisdom of a generation of divine craftsmen. Suddenly, the eyes of both of them stopped in one place, and on the desk where various drawings were scattered, there was a pile of drawings neatly stacked in the center of the desk, so that Han Xin and Zhang Liang noticed at a glance that it was being treated specially.
Han Xin picked up the drawing, and with the eyes of a layman, he pretended to be serious and looked at the complex patterns and information on the drawing.
"Huh......" A hint of surprise suddenly flashed in Han Xin's eyes, yes, it was really surprised, "I seem to have seen the armor on this picture somewhere!" β
That's right, what Han Xin was holding in his hand was a design drawing of the armor, of course he couldn't understand the various professional patterns and words on the paper, but when he saw the general drawing on the first page, a sense of dΓ©jΓ vu flowed through his mind.
"That's right! I rememberβ" Han Xin pondered the images associated with his memories as he suddenly, exclaiming, "This is the War Demon Armor!" Generalissimo's white war magic armor! "That's not called War Armor!" Its name is 'Non-Offensive Armor'! β
Mozi's heavy and majestic voice suddenly came, causing both of them who had broken into the lounge without permission to tremble.
"Excuse me! Ink seniors...... We didn't mean to break in...... It's just that ...... door" Han Xin looked back at Mozi who appeared at some point, and explained in a hesitant manner, and then he immediately cut the topic: "That's right, Senior Mo." Did you just say the armor on this piece of paper? What I have seen before is the war demon armor on the marshal Bai's body, but I didn't expect that the world-famous armor was from the hands of the seniors......"
"It's called a non-offensive armor!" Mozi stiffened his serious face and emphasized again. "But...... I did see ......" Han Xin looked at Mozi with a puzzled expression, but he didn't continue to cling to this name, he really didn't want to hear Mozi's expressionless repetition again. "Bai Qi? Is it Bai Qi, the generalissimo of today's Qin and Chu military forces? At this time, Zhang Liang asked suddenly, breaking the embarrassing situation of being about to fall into silence.
"Hmm." Han Xin looked at Zhang Liang and nodded, taking this opportunity to open the embarrassing context.
"I heard that this man was dressed in sharp armor, armed with a scythe, looking at the battlefield, taunting all directions, and was an extremely powerful man. It is rumored that the war armor he wears is an invincible and demon-invulnerable armor, and no one can hurt him in the armor, so he never takes off the armor, and he is a strong man who is always bound in the armor. Zhang Liang stared contemplatively
"That's right! Bai Qi is extremely powerful, as the marshal of the three armies, and is at the same level of power as the King of Chu and the King of Han, and at the same time, he is also the most trusted confidant of the Qin Emperor. Han Xin continued, and began to draw the conversation away. Hum! It's just a butcher who doesn't know right from wrong! Mozi stood aside and said coldly.
"Senior Mo, listen to what you said, do you know Marshal Bai Qi?" Zhang Liang raised his eyes to look at Mozi, who had a cold and hard face, and asked seriously, "Did you also make his battle armor?" β
Mozi didn't speak, he just walked quietly to Han Xin's side, took the stack of drawings into his hands, the titanium-white light shone on the paper, and his eyes also fell on the paper, and the light coincided, like a cluster of stars, embellishing the old handwriting on the drawings "Non-Offensive Armor".
ββThe sunset once dyed the cliff red, witnessing the meeting of the young two.
"Who are you? Why are you sitting on the cliff" The man in cloth looked at the strange man wrapped in a cloak and sitting on the cliff.
"I am a man of the royal palace. Escape to watch the sunset. The man wrapped in the cloak said weakly. Why run away? β
"They said I was sick, they said I was a monster, and I wasn't allowed to leave the cage." "A pool full of blood." "Why did they do this to you?"
"Because I'm a monster......," the man in the cloth didn't speak, but sat down on the cliff and watched the sunset with the cloaked man. At sunset the next day, the man in the cloth came to the cliff and saw the man wrapped in a cloak again.
"Hello." The man in the cloth only said this, and sat down next to him, quietly watching the sunset.
Day 3, Day 4, Day 5...... Every day, the man in the cloth would come to the cliff, see the man wrapped in the cloak, say "hello", and then sit down and watch the sunset quietly. Finally one day,
"Why are you so good to me, other people are bullying me, why aren't you like this." The man wrapped in the cloak spoke.
"When people live in the world, they should respect each other, love each other, and be kind to others, which is called 'love'." "I don't understand...... But I'm glad that you're good to me. β
"And what's your name?" "They all call me a monster, but Ah Zheng said, my name is Bai Qi" "Ah Zheng? "He's my closest person, and every afternoon he opens the cage and helps me escape to watch the sunset."
"Good."
"What's your name?" "My name is Mo Zhai, but everyone is used to calling me Mozi." The young two became friends, and they would meet on the cliff every day and talk about everything.
"What do you want to do in the future?" Bai Qi, wrapped in a cloak, asked.
"Specializing in the art of mechanics to create a better life for people." "But there will be war, and if there is war, life will not be good."
"I will resist the war and watch for the rest of my life." "It's amazing, I don't even know what I want to do." "Don't you have ideals?" "No...... I had a strange illness and I didn't know how long I would live. β
"It's going to be fine." "I hope I'm getting better, too." The sunset reincarnates on the cliff, countless dusks have passed, Mozi has become mature, and Baiqi has also become mature.
"I'm leaving." Bai Qi still wrapped himself in his cloak.
"I'm leaving, too." "You go" takes people to find a peaceful place, build a city of institutions, and create a peaceful life. β
"That's good." "What about you? Where are you going? "A political leader escaped from the palace, gathered troops, conquered Xu Fu, supported the royal family, and then became the new emperor of Qin and Chu and established a new system." "Will he be a good emperor?"
"He will! He is the only emperor in my heart! "You're loyal to him." "Well, I will never betray Ah Zheng!"
"Good." "I also found my own ideal, which is to help Ah Zheng realize his ideal." Mozi did not speak, and they were silent for a long time.
"You're leaving, let me see your face before you go." Mozi spoke up. "I'm a monster, it's ugly......"
"It's okay, you're my friend." "I ......" Finally, Bai Qi still uncovered his cloak, his face was gray-white, and a black cloth band was worn above his eyes. He untied the cloth band, revealing the other two eyes above the eyes, and he had four "How long do you have to leave?" β
"There's still more than a month." Bai Qi wrapped the cloth back around his forehead and covered his eyes. In the following month, Mozi did not come again, but Bai Qi still came to the cliff every day, no longer to watch the sunset, but to wait for Mozi, he felt that Mozi would definitely come again.
It wasn't until the last day of the White Rise Cliff that Mozi finally came, with a dark blue armor. "You are going to follow Yingzheng to the battlefield, I have created a suit of armor for you, this is the highest masterpiece of my life's mechanical arts, it can protect you from harm."
"Hmmm! In this way, I can finally contribute to Ah Zheng! "Remember, it's called a non-offensive armor." "What is a 'non-offensive'." "Don't kill, don't slaughter. This is the 'non-offensive'. Promise me that you must protect yourself on the battlefield in the future, but do not slaughter living beings. β
"I promise you!" Bai Qi took the armor from Mozi's hand and found four light blue eyepieces on the helmet.
"Take the cloth strap off, and you'll never have to wear it again." "Hmm." Bai Qi took off the cloth belt and handed it to Mozi casually. "I have nothing to give you. I've been wearing this cloth for more than 30 years, it's a part of my body, and I'll leave it to you, it's a thought......"
Bai Qi left, and followed Yingzheng on the journey; Mozi also left, leading people to build a harmonious and happy organ city.
Since then, they have never seen each other again, but the good news of the battlefield has indeed spread to every corner of Qin Chu, and in every good news, Mozi can hear how many people Bai Qi led and how many more people he killed. Bai Qi's prestige of killing gods and slaughtering people began to spread everywhere, and his incorruptible battle armor also became famous, and people called it the invincible war demon armor.
When the name of the so-called War Demon Armor finally reached Mozi's ears, he threw the cloth belt he had been holding tightly in his hand into the furnace. Nobody knows, where it all began. The setting sun once again stained the cliff red, marking the farewell of the two. "Boom-" A loud cannon rang out from the sky.
Before Mozi's thoughts could be pulled out of his memories, the huge cannon sound that came out of nowhere blew up his last thoughts.
Without waiting for the startled Zhang Liang to release his perception to detect the reason for the cannon, Mozi calmly said with a calm face: "The enemy is coming." The wind brings the warmth of spring, awakening the young roots and buds in the soil, and also awakening the sleeping life on the ground.
The people on the earth naturally woke up at this moment when all things were reborn, but it was not the spring flowers that woke them up, but the sound of the trumpet. The sun shines down from thousands of miles in the sky, bringing warmth to all living beings, but the feeling of a man draped in war armor cannot be felt.
But he didn't feel it either, his cold eyes stared at Yancheng in front of him, and the killing aura was not hidden. Holding a dark blue scythe in his hand, he rode on a tall black cheetah, and his dark blue cloak swayed in the spring breeze, reflecting the killing intent of the hunt. Behind him was a fully armed army of 50,000 ironclad soldiers, and in front of him was Yancheng, who resisted the imperial government and held on to it.
They are ready to go, and the people in the city have been preparing for a long time, although both sides are silent, but as long as they raise their scythes and give an order, the war will begin!
At this moment, a soldier crossed the heavy army that was waiting for him, ran quickly to Bai Qi, knelt down and clenched his fists, and said: "Report to the marshal, the 10,000 soldiers and horses you sent have arrived in Merlin City, and in accordance with the marshal's order, you have launched a tentative attack on it......
"Got it. Pay close attention to the battlefield in Merlin City, and report any situation to me immediately. Bai Qi said in a deep voice. Yes, sir. Also, a person came from the side of Yuanzi Mountain in the border city, and it was reported that the combat strength of the 100 people who were planted on a road near Yuanzi Mountain was completely annihilated......
"Who did that?" Bai Qi's eyes hidden under the battle helmet stared, and he asked sharply. "A woman with cherry red hair and a giant sword in her hand." The soldier said.
ββ¦β¦ Got it. When Bai Qi heard this, his brows immediately stretched a little, if Hua Mulan broke through the defense line they had arranged between the border city and the inner country, it didn't matter.
