Deng Feibao also felt a little embarrassed in his heart, so he had to explain: "It is important to restart Henglu City, but at present, the imperial court urgently needs iron figurines to deal with foreign enemies. Lord Zuo Xiang has already sent several messages to order us to speed up our progress.

Elder Qi should have heard that Lord Zuo Xiang was harsh, and if he couldn't complete the task he assigned, he would definitely be investigated thoroughly. Lord Zuo Xiang has always planned to rectify the Thousand Machines Pavilion, and he won't think about restarting Henglu City at that time! ”

Qi glanced at Deng Feibao, seeing that he was a little weak-hearted, and saw that the old man, who was still strong, turned around, picked up the shovel, and sent the charcoal piled up in the corner into the furnace.

Taking care of the stone furnace is a very boring thing, because when the Henglu City was built, many of the ingenuity techniques were just starting, even if there was a wind and floating cloud stone as the pivot of the Henglu City, but how to give full play to the effect of spiritual materials, so that it could drive the Henglu City to take off, the predecessors of the Thousand Machines Pavilion did not have too many practical methods.

Therefore, after the death of Emperor Ruiding, the craftsmen forcibly activated Henglu City, and the stone furnace was also damaged by shaking. Although the descendants have spent a lot of effort, they cannot change the situation of the stone furnace that is about to die.

What the elder of the Thousand Machines Pavilion has to do on weekdays is to pay attention to every detail of the stone furnace, and if there are any weak and defective places, they must be maintained and repaired in time.

Day after day, year after year, without seeing the turnstone furnace reborn, anyone will lose all their enthusiasm. The fact that the elders of the furnace have not been replaced for so many years is also largely because of this. In the past, the craftsmen who followed the Qi category all chose to leave the stone furnace without exception.

Deng Feibao guessed that Qi had been guarding the stone furnace for so many years, and now he couldn't wait to mobilize the power of thousands of clever moments to try to restart the stone furnace, naturally hoping to complete the unfinished business of his predecessors, so he said:

"I know what Elder Qi is thinking, but there are some things that can't be rushed. Now the rules of the imperial court are very strict, and they rashly restarted Henglu City, just afraid that it would be illegal. I've already written to the left to ask for it, just wait for approval. ”

Qi still silently shoveled the charcoal into the furnace, looking deaf and deaf.

Seeing him like this, Deng Feibao remembered that this person was Tao Hongjiu's old department, and he was afraid that he would be jealous and resentful of taking over the pavilion master, so he asked: "If Elder Qi has any dissatisfaction, he can say bluntly to this pavilion master, there are no outsiders here. ”

When Qi Category heard this, he really stopped his movements, held the shovel, looked at the scorching furnace and asked, "Pavilion Master Deng, why do you think the Pavilion Master gave the Thousand Clever Moments to Tao Heling?" ”

As soon as he heard this, Deng Feibao's face changed suddenly, and he lowered his voice and asked, "What does Elder Qi mean by this?" ”

"Didn't you tell me to speak up?" Qi Category turned his head, and the face that was like a knife and axe did not show the slightest expression, but it made people feel that a mountain was pressing: "You secretly poisoned and murdered the Tao Pavilion Master, leaving him weak and blind, unable to build meticulous and skillful, and had to give up the position of Pavilion Master—do you think that others are completely ignorant of these things?" ”

Deng Feibao suppressed the urge to kill people in his heart, and the angry smile on his face was mixed together, which looked particularly weird, and he said, "Since Elder Qi knows, why didn't he publicize it to the outside world? ”

Qi lowered his eyebrows and didn't answer, Deng Feibao smiled and said, "I understand, it turns out that Elder Qi also takes a fancy to the position of this pavilion master?" But in the eyes of everyone, you and the Tao Pavilion Master are both people who are not good for fame and fortune and are willing to work hard, even if you sit in the position of the Pavilion Master, you will not seek benefits for everyone. ”

"Looks like you really don't understand." Qi let out an imperceptible sigh: "The reason why the Tao Pavilion Lord doesn't let you get the Thousand Clever Moments is because this thing is unpredictable and dangerous, and if it is frequently urged, it may attract the peeps of things outside the sky." ”

The corners of Deng Feibao's eyes twitched, it was the first time he had heard of this kind of thing, and it could be seen that in the Thousand Machines Pavilion, it was also a situation that only a few people could know.

"I've long been aware of your collusion with the Cult of the Rising Sun." Qi Category continued: "But for the sake of the recommendation of the nobles in the court, it is not good for me to do it directly to you, so I secretly sent a secret letter to Zuo Xiang." ”

"You-" When Deng Feibao heard this, he immediately became nervous, and all kinds of thoughts flew in his mind.

"Are you wondering why Prime Minister Zuo was allowed to take over the Thousand Machines Pavilion since he already knew about your plans?" Qi Category slowly lifted the shovel, and the muscles and muscles in his arms were full of surging strength, which was definitely not something that the old man with a dull mind could have.

"You've been secretly calculating?" Deng Feibao reached out and held the magic weapon with him.

"Not as long as you." Qi said.

Deng Feibao knew that since it had been exposed, the sect leader was afraid that the other party would find out the context of the incident, and he would fall into the trap set by the other party in advance, so he must rush out of this place now and quickly pass the news to the sect leader.

"You want to go?" Qi asked a question.

Deng Feibao's face was full of murderous intent and immediately sacrificed a small melon hammer, which rose against the storm and turned into a huge iron ball and swooped out.

Qi did not see the slightest panic, holding the shovel and dancing, the pace moved, the shoulder was strong, the end of the shovel gently provoked the head-on iron ball, and then a deep force entangled it, dancing along the shovel several times, the iron ball was reversed and flew back.

Deng Feibao was shocked when he saw this, hurriedly changed the small melon hammer back to its original state, took it back into his hand, and exclaimed: "Control the crane big gun? Are you from Yu Linwei? ”

Qi didn't say a word, stepped on the ground with one foot, the whole furnace trembled slightly, the flames were violent, and he instantly approached Deng Feibao's body, replaced the gun with a shovel, and stabbed straight out.

Although Deng Feibao was frightened, his cultivation mana was still there, and he protected his hands with forks on his chest, allowing the shovel to stab hard.

As if facing a thousand iron figurines, Deng Feibao flew out upside down, but he was not injured and bleeding, and his arm sleeve was crushed by the force of the big gun, revealing a pair of golden gauntlets, and the sunburst lines could be seen on the surface.

His back slammed against the brass door, making a bell-like sound, the echo echoing through the cellar. Deng Feibao had just stood firm, and when he saw Qi Scope stepping forward again, he immediately put his arms together, and his arm armor radiated a dazzling light.

Qi took the initiative to close his eyes, his body was offset, and the flame light left a scorch mark on his left shoulder, but the offensive did not stop, and the shovel directly cut off one of Deng Feibao's ears.

With a painful cry, Deng Feibao turned over to avoid it, and his side face was in hot pain, which made him understand that with his true qi alone, he couldn't resist the attack of this crane control spear at all.

"You're worse than I expected." Qi turned his head to look, and the blinding glare could only slightly obstruct his vision.

Deng Feibao covered the bleeding wound, gritted his teeth and said, "Then you are ......"

Before the words fell, Qi came without warning, and it was clear that he was luring Deng Feibao to open his mouth and be distracted.

The shovel was heavy, and the shape was completely different from that of a spear, but it was as dexterous as a poisonous snake coming out of a hole in Qi's hands. Deng Feibao raised his arms to resist, but was swept away by the lingering force like a wave, and was directly hit by his waist ribs.

Deng Feibao howled miserably, and was about to take out the charm to meet the enemy, but he turned his arm and shovel and smashed down, Deng Feibao's heavenly spirit shattered, and his seven orifices burst into blood, and he fainted on the spot.

Pulling the chain again, the machine turned, the teeth of the wheel snapped, the brass door slowly opened, and Qi dragged the unconscious Deng Feibao out of the cellar, and heard a burst of thunder.

I saw a monk flying over in the air, with a trace of electric light in his sleeve, and took the initiative to ask, "Is the person who came from the Thousand Machine Pavilion Elder Qi Realm?" ”

"Exactly." Qi threw Deng Feibao to the ground: "The henchmen of the Rising Sun God Sect are here, please take a look!" ”

The monk pressed his body and arched his hand and said, "Poor Dao Gongchenzi, on the order of the left minister, come to the Qianji Pavilion to cut off the demon of the chaotic party." Only then did he see a red and blue smoke message coming out of Henglu City, so he took the initiative to attack Henglu City. ”

"I sent the cigarette letter." Qi's expression was as usual: "Except for a few people in the Thousand Machines Pavilion who are Deng Feibao's cronies, the others are just people who tend to be inflammatory, so don't do harm at will." ”

"We know...... Someone is here again? Halfway through Gong Chenzi's words, he sensed a familiar and powerful aura approaching in the distance, and Gong Chenzi took the initiative to fly up to meet him, just in time to see Zhao Xiao.

"Xu Daoyou? Why are you here? Gong Chenzi asked.

"I was entrusted by Lord Zuo Xiang to help suppress the Thousand Machines Pavilion." Zhao Xiao looked around, at this moment, the battle movement in Henglu City had subsided, and there were several monks in the distance who were responsible for restraining the craftsmen of the Thousand Machine Pavilion.

"You are Xu Huaiyu?" Qi on the ground said: "Prime Minister Zuo once mentioned in a secret letter, saying that you want to do things near Dunjia Mountain, and order Qianji Pavilion to help. ”

"It is true." Zhao Xiao slowly landed, saw Deng Feibao who was unconscious, and asked, "This person was taken down by the old gentleman?" ”

"Yes." Qi Category's face was as usual, and he pushed Deng Feibao with a blood-stained shovel: "He will be handed over to you to dispose of." ”

Gong Chenzi hurriedly stepped forward to make up for a prohibition, and then said: "The left minister has an order, after the Rising Sun God Sect and the cadres are arrested, they must be carefully questioned, and I will escort this person and his cronies away." ”

"Be careful on the road." Zhao Xiao said.

Gong Chenzi nodded goodbye, and flew away directly with Deng Feibao. Then Qi asked the question, "You are here for the Cave Heaven Portal?" ”

"Not bad." Zhao Huang said curiously: "The old gentleman also knows that there will be a cave portal passing through Dunjia Mountain?" ”

"It was I who first noticed that the Cave Heaven Portal was close to Dunjia Mountain." Qi said as he walked, returning to the stone furnace and pulling a few chains, the flames in the huge furnace gradually extinguished.

Zhao Xiao was surprised by the intricate and huge furnace cellar in front of him, and at the same time, he was also quite curious.

He could see that the Qi category did not have a very advanced immortal cultivation, but the foundation of martial arts should not be underestimated.

Even if he is just flesh and blood, he can burst out with power that ordinary people can't match, no wonder he seems to be able to defeat Deng Feibao alone.

If you only talk about cultivation as mana, Deng Feibao is far inferior to Zhao Xiao, nor is he as good as Chang Liezi, if he encounters a sudden attack by a martial arts swordsman in a narrow and cramped place, it is indeed difficult to save his life.

"Forgive Xu for being puzzled, how did the old gentleman notice it?" Zhao Huang admits that the Qi realm has advanced martial arts, but the Dongtian Portal is the secret of the Immortal Family, and ordinary monks have not yet discovered it, let alone a martial artist?

"Do you know the Wind Floating Stone?" Like a skilled craftsman, Qi opened the cellar to reveal a three-zhang high, olive-shaped stone inside.

This strange stone is suspended and does not fall, slowly rotates in the furnace, and there is a cloud-like ancient seal on the surface, which is clearly a heavenly divine book and a cloud seal spiritual text. At this moment, this Wind Storm Floating Cloud Stone is beating like a heartbeat, making people mistakenly think that it is a living thing.

"Actually...... So big? Zhao Xiao was stunned when he saw this, even if he had imagined it in advance, this Wind Floating Cloud Stone was still too big to imagine.

Heavenly and earthly treasures have always been rare, and if you want to collect a large number of similar spiritual materials, in addition to consuming manpower and material resources, you often need to accumulate the immortal inheritance slowly over a long period of time.

Like such a three-zhang high, with its own cloud seal spirit text, the wind floating cloud stone is completely unattainable. Even because it is too large, and the cloud seal spirit text is formed in one piece, the spirit material itself is not suitable for easy cutting, making it difficult to refine it into a magic weapon alone.

Zhao Xiao couldn't help but think that after Tie Gong flew up, he also left behind the relics of the divine iron with the spiritual text, but those spiritual iron were originally divided into dozens of pieces, and the size was appropriate, which was convenient for refining into magic weapons.

"No wonder this thing is the pivot of the city." Zhao Yan said: "It's better to say, except for being used to drive a behemoth like the Organ City, this Wind Flying Cloud Stone doesn't have much use. ”

Qi changed into a simple shirt and explained: "About two years ago, the Wind Floating Stone began to have a strange induction, and it was imperceptible at first, if I hadn't been guarding the stone furnace all year round, it would have been difficult to find anything unusual from the fire in the furnace.

At that time, I didn't know what the good luck and evil of this strange appearance was, but I only mentioned it to the former pavilion master Tao Hongjiu in private, after all, the stone turning furnace was related to the entire Henglu City, and it was not appropriate to publicize it to the outside world.

Later, the master of the Tao Pavilion found a few records in the codex of his predecessors, and knew that about sixty years ago, there was a cave spirit realm close to Dunjia Mountain. As a rare spiritual material that is rare in the world, the Wind Floating Cloud Stone naturally senses the changes in the number of heaven and earth. ”

"The fact that Dongtian is close to Dunjia Mountain, Qianji Pavilion has long known about it?" Zhao Xiao asked.

"It wasn't necessarily known at first." Qi said: "Sixty years ago, although the monks of the Thousand Machines Pavilion vaguely sensed the change in the number of qi, they did not know what was going on, but they were craftsmen who had not cultivated to mana, and they would occasionally glimpse the floating light of the Cave Heaven Spirit Realm in their dreams. ”

"In a dream?" Zhao Xiao was silent, being able to make many people dream of the same thing at the same time was already a power that intruded on the mind and soul.

"Although I dreamed of the Cave Heaven Spirit Realm, the craftsmen couldn't sleep at night, and they felt physically and mentally tired after waking up." Qi said: "The predecessors suspected that there was an evil thing, so they searched vigorously, and finally found that they found that the thousand wits and spirit moment were the culprits of such illusions. ”

"This also has something to do with a thousand clever moments?" Zhao Xiao was puzzled.

"It's better to say that Henglu City will come to Dunjia Mountain, which is an accident." Qi explained: "After the emperor self-immolated at the end of Tianxia, the emperor's swords and soldiers rose everywhere, and the predecessors of the Thousand Machines Pavilion were afraid of affecting themselves, and they hoped to protect the unfinished Henglu City, so they took the risk to urge the thousand clever moments.

Because of the wind floating cloud stone as the pivot key, Henglu City was able to rise from the ground and fall silent all the way to Dunjia Mountain. However, the outside world did not know that the predecessors of the Thousand Machines Pavilion did not come here on purpose. ”
