In a dimly lit secret room, Deng Feibao whispered a mantra to the clear water in the copper basin, and a moment later, the water in the basin rippled, and a mysterious figure wearing a golden mask appeared. On the forehead of the mask is a radiating sun, like a third eye, and even if you communicate through the basin, you can vaguely feel that the other person is watching closely.

"Master." Deng Feibao saluted respectfully, not daring to neglect it in the slightest.

"There is no need for such a false courtesy." The mysterious figure who was called the sect leader had a dull voice: "What, has the Thousand Machine Pavilion fallen under control?" ”

Deng Feibao said with a smile on his face: "The disciple has lived up to the trust of the sect master, and has successfully taken over the position of the master of the Thousand Machines Pavilion a few days ago. ”

"Okay." The Sect Leader then asked, "All the clever creations in the Thousand Machines Pavilion are enough to turn the tide on the battlefield, and the revival of my Rising Sun God Sect is not far off!" ”

Deng Feibao clasped his hands into fists, made a sunburst handprint, and shouted: "The sunrise is Zhaozhao, Tianxia Yongchang!" ”

The golden-faced sect leader nodded and said, "Very good, God Deng really didn't disappoint this sect leader. Right now, we are going to start up in the three counties of Sangluo, Panyang, and Danqiu, and we need the ingenuity made by the Thousand Machine Pavilion. ”

The smile on Deng Feibao's face was a little stiff, and he said: "Sect Master, with all due respect to the disciple, the disciple has recently taken over the position of the master of the Thousand Machines Pavilion, and if there is a large outflow of the creations, I am afraid that the Xiong Imperial Court will immediately hold the disciple responsible, and it will not be conducive to the disciple to contribute to the great cause of the sect at that time." ”

"There's some truth to that." The golden-faced sect leader asked again: "However, isn't there any greed and desecration in the past in the Thousand Machine Pavilion?" As soon as you take over, you should take stock of the treasury books. ”

Deng Feibao's expression was solemn: "The disciple has checked, all the clever creations of the Thousand Machines Pavilion must be named and registered, and every time there is an addition or deletion, the pavilion master and the other two elders must testify together, which is extremely difficult to forge."

However, the previous cabinet master, Tao Hongjiu, had an old-fashioned temperament and never refused to be flexible. When I was working under him, I gave him advice several times, but he didn't listen to it. ”

"Qianji Pavilion sits on Jinshan, but is willing to be a lackey of the bear country, but it's a pity and hateful!" The Golden-Faced Sect Master snorted coldly.

Deng Feibao hurriedly said: "Yes, it is clear that Qianji Pavilion can have today's achievements, thanks to the appreciation and reuse of Emperor Ruiding in the past. Unexpectedly, they secretly harbored their antipathy, and privately launched Henglu City to escape from the emperor's capital, which made Emperor Ruiding lose the key screen, which allowed all kinds of rebels to break into the palace ban. ”

"One day, such a major crime of rebellion will be liquidated to the end!" The Golden-Faced Sect Master quickly calmed down and said, "Previously, you copied a batch of maps of the Thousand Machine Pavilion creations, and this sect leader ordered people to build them, but they couldn't be put into operation. I think it's a key thing missing, and now that you're taking over as the cabinet master, you should know what you're missing. ”

Deng Feibao had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "Indeed, some of the creations of the Thousand Machines Pavilion need to be activated by the Thousand Machines Moment. Like a fire that ignites firewood, without it, those ingenious creatures that can attack a city and destroy an army are like ordinary earth and stones, unable to move. ”

"In this way, such key things must be personally mastered by the Thousand Machines Pavilion Master." The golden-faced sect leader said, "In that case, you have secretly come to Sangluo County, bring thousands of clever moments, and activate the several iron figurines we have built. If there is a Xiong court to investigate, you will put the blame on the former cabinet master, saying that it was found that there was a loss of inventory during the audit. ”

"The disciple also plans to do so, but ......" Deng Feibao's face was embarrassed, and he said hesitantly: "That thousand clever moments, I'm afraid it ......"

The Golden-Faced Sect Master asked, "Could it be that this thing is not in your hands?" ”

"Tao Hongjiu secretly handed over the Thousand Clever Moments to a junior named Tao Heling, and he took advantage of the chaos to escape from Henglu City, and the disciple is leading people to chase him." Deng Feibao replied in a low voice.

The Golden-Faced Sect Master didn't say a word, but Deng Feibao seemed to be able to feel the burning gaze coming from the basin of water, and he almost pierced himself.

"As far as this sect leader knows, there are not many people in the Thousand Machines Pavilion who have cultivated to the top level, and the position of pavilion master is not selected according to the level of mana." The golden-faced sect leader said: "That Tao Hongjiu's junior is at best a skilled craftsman, and this sect leader has sent you a group of good hands, and he can't even deal with a single ordinary man?" ”

"Originally, a group of subordinates had caught up with Tao Heling, but they accidentally forced him into a torrent during the battle." Deng Feibao said: "But for some reason, Tao Heling's body does not exist, and a few days later, the disciple sensed that a thousand smart spirits appeared in a newly established An Min Tun of Shangjing Sect. But when the disciples rushed to go, the orientation sensing was broken again. ”

The golden-faced sect leader snorted coldly: "This is obviously someone who helped!" You've made a mistake! ”

"The disciple is guilty!" Deng Feibao hurriedly said: "It's just that the Thousand Machines are lost, the disciples don't dare to speak out rashly, if they let the Thousand Machines Pavilion know, they are afraid that it will cause suspicion, so they will come forward to search in person." ”

"Lake Tu!" The Golden-Faced Sect Master reprimanded: "You just took over the Thousand Machines Pavilion, and before the matter was clear, you went out in a hurry, and anyone could find out that your intentions were not pure." You shouldn't have met someone from the Kamijingzong, right? ”

"Not yet." Deng Feibao said: "But the disciples are now understaffed and cannot conduct a large-scale search, and I am afraid that the sect leader will need to send a group of capable generals to help." ”

After a moment's thought, the Golden-Faced Sect Master asked, "Where are you at the moment?" ”

"Wenlu County, Panyang County."

"The flood is very widespread, and it is the time when the displaced people are everywhere." The Golden-Faced Sect Master said: "Such a chaotic situation is the most suitable place to hide his whereabouts, and the Sect Master is sure that Tao Heling has not yet left Panyang County.

It just so happened that the sect leader would later send someone to transport a batch of Karakuri artifacts from Sangluo to Panyang County, and the manpower would be dispatched by you. In addition, after retrieving the Thousand Clever Moments, activate those Karakuri artifacts as soon as possible. ”

Deng Feibao bowed his head and arched his hand: "The disciple obeys!" ”

"If there is really a master around Tao Heling, you must be cautious. The sect leader received news that Xia Huanggong, one of the four immortal dukes, had gone to Panyang County. The Golden-Faced Sect Master said, "On the surface, he is trying to settle the displaced people, but this move is clearly aimed at us. ”

Deng Feibao couldn't help but be worried: "In the past, when Tao Hongjiu presided over the Thousand Machine Pavilion, he had a lot of contacts with Xia Huanggong, will this be ......?"

"Rest assured, he's dealing with the contamination of the water veins." The golden-faced sect leader laughed and said, "Since I learned that Xia Huang Gong was coming, this sect leader has arranged for people to poison the water veins in wells and canals in various places, which is mixed with the turbidity in the leylines, and ordinary people will get sick if they drink it.

Isn't Xia Huanggong accustomed to flaunting benevolence? Then let the people everywhere suffer from illness, and if he intervenes in dealing with it, he will be able to make him useless. If he sits idly by, then our Cult of the Rising Sun can send people to come forward and win the hearts of the displaced people on the pretext of curing the disease! ”

"The sect leader's clever calculation, the disciple sincerely admires it!" Deng Feibao exclaimed.

"This is just the first step." The golden-faced sect leader said: "When the three counties take action, Xia Huanggong will definitely take the initiative to come forward, and then he will fall into the death situation carefully arranged for him by the sect master." At that time, the Four Immortal Princes will go to one of them, and the land of the three counties will be in the bag, and there will be a thousand machine pavilions for the Rising Sun Divine Sect to continuously build Karakuri, and the restoration of Tianxia will be just around the corner! ”

Deng Feibao immediately praised: "The rising sun is clear, and the summer is Yongchang!" In the coming days, the country will be restored in the summer, and I hope that the leader of the sect will ascend the throne! ”

"Don't say that again!" The golden-faced sect leader said: "In the future, Tianxia will return to the country, and this sect leader will welcome the true Son of Heaven, and if he commits something chaotic, he must not do it!" ”

"Yes, yes, the disciple lost his words." Deng Feibao hurriedly said.

"Alright, you go and run errands." The golden-faced sect leader said: "One day sooner to find a thousand clever moments, one day to achieve great things." The new Tianxia Dynasty in the future is indispensable for your position. ”

"Disciple remember!"

After saying this, the surface of the copper basin rippled again, and the light and shadow of the golden-faced sect leader dissipated, and Deng Feibao wiped his cold sweat and retreated.

"This madman, shouldn't he take Tianxia's restoration seriously?" Deng Feibao muttered in his heart: "I actually want to poison the water source, I have never heard of such a ability before." Could it be that you're pulling in some kind of monster again? Forget it, it's important to find the Thousand Clever Moments quickly. ”

The Cult of the Rising Sun was originally created by the Tianxia Dynasty clan during the Great War of the Five Kingdoms, and what they wanted was to restore the Tianxia Dynasty. Although Deng Feibao was born in the Rising Sun Divine Sect and was cultivated by it since he was a child, he never had the ideal of recovering the country at all in his heart, and felt that some old people in the sect were only obsessed with the past.

It's a pity that for a long time in the past, there was Xiong Guo as the most powerful one among the five kingdoms of Kunlun, and there were Shangjing Sect and the Four Immortal Princes guarding it, and it was almost unshakable.

Until now, this sect leader is presiding over the plan, and the Rising Sun God Cult no longer pursues raising troops in various places, but secretly cultivates talents, accumulates strength, and infiltrates all parts of the bear country, including Deng Feibao, who worshiped in the Thousand Machines Pavilion.

However, although Deng Feibao didn't believe in the nonsense of Tianxia Fuguo, he didn't dare to disobey this golden-faced sect master, he had seen the sect leader slap his hands empty-handed, and directly blasted the monk who condensed the Xuanzhu to pieces, and his cultivation mana was probably not inferior to the four immortal princes of Shangjing Sect.

Therefore, the golden-faced sect leader claimed to deal with Xia Huanggong, and Deng Feibao did not feel strange at all. On the contrary, this move can end Deng Feibao's more than ten years of lurking, and he can finally raise his eyebrows.

Take out the stone bead, this thing is called Hub Yuan Dan, it is something created by the craftsmen of the Thousand Machine Pavilion in the past to imitate the spirit of the thousand machines. But even if it takes a lot of effort, it still can't reproduce another thousand clever moments.

One of the few reliable uses of the Hub Yuan Dan is that it can resonate with the Thousand Clever Moments, and in Deng Feibao's hands, it can be used as a magic weapon to search for the location of the Thousand Clever Moments.

Deng Feibao pinched the hub Yuan Dan, originally not holding out hope, and using the mana to urge slightly, but suddenly felt a piercing ringing sound, as if it was close to his ears.

"This ...... Thousands of clever moments are in Wenlu County! Deng Feibao, who understood this, was overjoyed, and immediately rushed out of the secret room and began to dispatch manpower. No matter what, this time, we must also seize the Thousand Clever Moments!

……

The clouds converged, and once again held the thousand clever moments, Zhao Xiao's expression was subtle, and he didn't say a word.

"Immortal Master, how is the situation?" Tao Heling looked at it, the night was like water, and he couldn't see the slightest abnormality, only the sound of the husband patrolling the night and knocking on the bamboo stick.

After Zhao Huang and the two came to Wenlu County, they settled in a deserted shrine in the city, where many homeless homeless people gathered, and the gas was filthy, which was said to be not liked by the people who cultivated immortals, but it just became the place where Zhao Huang hid.

"After waiting for most of the night, the other party once again performed a search spell." Zhao Xiao returned the Thousand Machines to Tao Heling, and said, "I can sense that the magic weapon used by the other party has a unique resonance with the Thousand Machines Spirit. Could it be that there is another Thousand Machines Spirit Moment in the Thousand Machines Pavilion? ”

"I know, it must be the Hub Yuan Dan!" Tao Heling said: "This thing is made by the craftsmen of the Thousand Machines Pavilion in the past dynasties to imitate the Thousand Machines Moment, but this matter is not successful, except for resonating with the Thousand Machines Moment, it cannot replace its role at all." ”

"In this way, it may be more certain that Deng Feibao will come to pursue it in person." Zhao Xiao said.

Tao Heling nodded: "It should be, he couldn't master the Thousand Machines in the past, but he still came into contact with the Hub Danyuan." ”

"Deng Feibao, doesn't this person have cultivation mana?" Zhao Xiao asked again.

"Yes, according to him, he is a disciple of the Gupan sect and is proficient in refining magic weapons. It's a pity that the inheritance of the sect was cut off, and he wandered the rivers and lakes for many years, admiring the ingenuity of Qianji Pavilion, and specially came to learn from the teacher. Tao Heling frowned and said: "Now that I think about it, these are mostly fabricated words out of thin air. ”

"Not necessarily." Zhao Xiao said: "Qianji Pavilion has a great relationship, and when you come to apprentice, you will definitely investigate its origins. I suspect that the Gunpan Sect did exist, and perhaps the methods cultivated by others are the recipes of the Gurpan Sect, and it is difficult for outsiders to find flaws. ”

Just like Zhao Huang walking as Xu Huaiyu of Xuanpu Hall, it is because he himself has cultivated the "Sumai Dan Heart Formula", unless he finds other Xuanpu Hall disciples scattered outside, it is difficult to expose Zhao Xiao's identity.

And even if the Qianji Pavilion didn't care, it was impossible for the Youxiong Imperial Court, which appointed Deng Feibao as the pavilion master, not to be examined at all. Deng Feibao can take over the Thousand Machines Pavilion, which shows that there are not many problems with this person's origin.

But think about it again, if Deng Feibao is really a spy planted by the enemy country, wouldn't it be necessary to train him from childhood to adulthood? How many variables will there be along the way, and who can guarantee that this person will achieve something and will definitely rise to high positions in the future? Such a conjecture is a bit out of common sense, Zhao Xiao would rather believe that Deng Feibao was bewitched and bought by the enemy country in the middle.

"Since the Immortal Master can be sure that Deng Feibao is in Wenlu County, then are we going to go elsewhere next?" Tao Heling asked.

"I can't go now." Zhao Xiao said with a smile: "I deliberately lifted the ban on spells, and waited for Deng Feibao to perform a spell search, if he was a little more shrewd, he would definitely closely monitor the county gate, and anyone who left Wenlu County would inevitably have an investigation." I may be able to walk myself, but it's hard to say if I take you with me. ”

"It's the juniors who are dragging down the immortal master." Tao Heling said guiltily.

"There is no need for that." Zhao Xiao smiled calmly: "But I want to see how this Deng Feibao will find a thousand clever moments after losing his bearing." Whether it's a covert search or a big fanfare, I have a way to deal with it. By the way, when he shows up, I can also find out for myself and see what kind of person it is. ”

With Zhao Xiao's current cultivation as the realm, every step he takes, he often deduces subsequent changes, although he can't get a full glimpse of the future situation, he can try to start in the subtleties and let the situation develop in his favor. He had a vague premonition that Deng Feibao was looking for a thousand clever moments, and there was another unpredictable conspiracy behind it, hidden behind the fog.
