"The old gentleman is saying that Henglu City came to Dunjia Mountain for an unusual reason?" Hearing this, Zhao Xiao changed his mind and said, "Or, is Henglu City under some kind of induction and out of the control of the predecessors of the Thousand Machines Pavilion?" ”

Qi nodded and said, "That's exactly the case, the Thousand Machines Pavilion was inspected several times later, and it was determined that Henglu City was controlled by the Thousand Machines Spirit Moment at that time. However, the predecessors believed that the Thousand Wisdom Moments were divine objects that could inspire the dead to inspire their intelligence. ”

Zhao Xiao felt very bizarre: "Let the dead things inspire the spirit? Could it be that the terracotta figurines, iron figurines and other things created by the Thousand Machine Pavilion can obey orders and go into battle like a sergeant, because of the wonderful use of thousands of clever moments? ”

"Not bad."

Zhao Xiao still didn't understand that the Thousand Clever Moments were one of the very few things that he didn't understand at all, and he couldn't even figure out how this thing made the lifeless terracotta figurines and iron figurines become able to move freely like ordinary people?

When he first saw the square palindrome on the surface of the thousand wits, Zhao Xiao thought it was a magic weapon supplemented by a talisman seal, and in the past, he had heard rumors that Xiong Guo used a charm to manipulate the terracotta figurines. But now it seems that the Thousand Machines and Spiritual Moments probably do not belong to the Xuanmen Immortal Dao.

"The old gentleman just mentioned the 'divine object from the sky', does he mean something?" Zhao Xiao asked.

Qi closed the brass gate again, led Zhao Xiao into the depths of Henglu City, and at the same time said: "The origin of the Thousand Clever Moments is a mystery, there is almost no record of the past of this thing, and I don't know who made it. Legend has it that when Emperor Ruiding had a suburban sacrifice in his early years, suddenly the sky was dying, and a thousand clever moments descended out of thin air. ”

When Zhao Xiao heard the word "suburban sacrifice", his eyebrows couldn't help but move. Because of the suburban sacrifice of the emperor of the Tianxia Dynasty, it is necessary for the praise official to participate in the whole process, which is an important ritual to welcome the five qi and reconcile the five parties.

Most ordinary people don't know the mystery of the suburban sacrifice, thinking that the emperor is pretending to pray for smooth weather and peace for the country and the people, but in fact, he is instigating the five directions and five qi in the suburban sacrifice, so as to sort out the discipline and law, and search for the unhealthy demonic atmosphere. If the emperor has a sense, he immediately approves the pen and orders the salute to go to the crusade against the demons.

But that was a long time ago, Emperor Ruiding was in the late years of Tianxia, even if the discipline and law had not collapsed, it must have gradually decayed with the downward trend of Tianxia's vitality, and the suburban sacrifice may not be effective. As for the thousand clever moments that fell from the sky at this time, it was even more unconvincingly weird.

"Emperor Ruiding has obtained a thousand clever moments, so he is naturally like a treasure. It is precisely for this reason that he vigorously gathered craftsmen and ordered the construction of Henglu City. Qi said.

Zhao Xiao asked: "Could it be that as soon as Emperor Ruiding obtains a thousand clever moments, he will want craftsmen to build Henglu City?" The construction of the palace still takes time to draw the construction pattern. ”

Qi said: "The construction pattern of Henglu City was given by Emperor Ruiding himself, and as for who drew it, no one dared to ask back then. ”

"In other words, the predecessors of the Thousand Machines Pavilion just built Henglu City according to the pattern?" Zhao Xiao looked around, the walls and domes were covered with staggered copper pipes and crystal pillars, and the spiritual light was flowing and the heat was steaming, and such a delicate and complex creation was not easy to achieve.

"A drawing is a pattern, and a real thing is a real thing." Qi said, "If it was just to build Henglu City, it would have been completed in less than three years. However, it can't reach the level of flying away and diving into the river as Emperor Ruiding thought. It took more than ten years for subsequent additions, deletions and repairs. ”

"What did Emperor Ruiding build Henglu City for?" Zhao Xiao asked.

"According to the predecessors, Henglu City is the palace of Emperor Ruiding to level the world." Qi let out a sneer: "Who would believe this kind of nonsense?" ”

"Not necessarily." Zhao Xiao said: "At least the people of the Rising Sun God Sect believe it. ”

"Zuo Xiang's eradication of Deng Feibao shows that he is ready to destroy the Rising Sun God Cult." Qi said: "What's more, the Tianxia Dynasty has been destroyed for a hundred years, and what the Rising Sun God Sect wants is nothing but wishful thinking, and it is destined to fail. ”

Zhao Xiao really admired He Qingchen's control of the situation in the Bear Country, and the Rising Sun Divine Cult had just emerged, and it ushered in a catastrophe. Deng Feibao is also a little capable, but he didn't do anything, and he was hit hard by Qi in a blink of an eye, and Zhao Xiao didn't have to do anything after he came, but he was idle.

"So, does the old gentleman think that the Thousand Clever Spirits manipulated Henglu City to Dunjia Mountain because they were attracted by the Dongtian Spirit Realm?" Zhao Xiao asked.

Qi nodded and said, "That's right, and I'm not the only one in the Thousand Machines Pavilion who thinks so." Therefore, they felt that the only way to restart Henglu City was to intercept the Cave Weather Machine. ”

"I have to say, this idea is really ......"

Zhao Xiao was still considering the words and sentences, and said in unison: "It's ridiculous. When I learned that everyone in the cabinet was planning to do this, I felt that they were terminally ill, and I didn't think that the so-called 'heavenly artifact' of the Thousand Clever Moments was beyond their control. After so many years, Qianji Pavilion has never really figured out the mystery of this thing. ”

"I know what it is, but I don't know why." Zhao Xiao didn't think this was too bizarre, it was human nature to get an object that he didn't know at all, and use it for various experiments, so as to find out what specific effects it had.

But Zhao Xiao did hear from Qi's words that this thing was unusual. The two of them walked deep for a moment, and came to a cast iron gate, the walls on both sides of which were buried with traps to kill and injure the attackers.

Qi is familiar with the way to disarm the mechanism, and then open the iron gate, you can see the spiritual light radiating along the glazed crystal pillar inside, and the thousand wits and moments are suspended in the rapidly rotating circular rails.

"This is where a thousand clever moments are placed." Qi said: "I heard that you rescued Tao Heling? ”

Zhao Xiao nodded yes, and Qi continued to say: "Although the Thousand Machines Spirit Moment is valuable, I still don't know the true purpose of this thing, since you are here for the Cave Heaven Spirit Realm of Dunjia Mountain, can you first cast a forbidden seal for the Thousand Machines Spirit Moment?" ”

"Why did the old gentleman do this?" Zhao Xiao was puzzled: "Isn't this thing the key to your Thousand Machine Pavilion?" If I impose a forbidden seal here, will it prevent you from crafting Karakuri? ”

"After dealing with Deng Feibao, Zuo Xiang will start to rectify the Qianji Pavilion, and all the rules and regulations will change greatly in the future, and it can be said that everything is not appropriate at the moment." Qi explained: "The imperial court will not allow the Thousand Machines Pavilion to be built out of control, and the Henglu City will fly away from the sky, don't think about it in the future." ”

Zhao Xiao already understood He Qingchen's methods, he allowed the Rising Sun Divine Sect to cause chaos, in addition to uprooting the hidden dangers in one fell swoop, but also to take the opportunity to rectify the court.

Changing the law and establishing a new system is full of obstacles, and Zhao Xiao's experience in Huaxu Kingdom made him deeply understand that even if he relies on forcible means to kill people and raid his home, there are shortcomings after all.

And He Qingchen allowed the Rising Sun Divine Sect to cause chaos, I am afraid that many people in the government and the opposition of the Xiong Kingdom will be implicated, so it is inevitable that there will be a sand cleansing and make room for the subsequent reform of the law.

Similarly, He Qingchen will also make his power to a higher level in this chaos, and no one can shake it.

Zhao Xiao thought about it again and again, the origin of this thing is indeed unknown, and it has also been approved by the Qi category, so in order to prevent variables, a ban is set here.

Looking at the round track that had slowed down, a thousand wits fell on the golden glazed pillar, the light dissipated, and the entire Henglu City seemed to be lifeless.

After arranging all this, Zhao Xiao asked: "Did Zuo Xiang mention to the old gentleman what Xu wanted to do?" ”

"The monk is looking for the Cave Heaven Spirit Realm, just to seek immortal fate." Qi Category's expression was ordinary: "You can let it go, and the Thousand Machine Pavilion will not get in the way." ”

"Then Xu will thank you in advance." This situation was much smoother than Zhao Xiao wanted, and he asked by the way: "But Xu still has something unclear, since the old gentleman has long known that Deng Feibao is from the Rising Sun God Sect, why is he willing to let them control the Thousand Machines Pavilion?" ”

"I was sent by the left minister, who will preside over the Thousand Machines Pavilion, it's not me who has the final say." Qi replied.

"The old gentleman is a secret agent?" Zhao Xiao was a little curious.

"If I were you, I wouldn't ask more." Qi arched his hand: "If there is nothing else, then I will retire first, and everyone in the cabinet still needs to be appeased." We will not be accompanied. ”

Qi Category's words and deeds are simply and direct, without the slightest bit of mud and water, such a person has been installed in Qianji Pavilion for many years without changing his mind, and when necessary, he suddenly made a move, and easily took down Deng Feibao, should it be said that He Qingchen knows people and has a way, or is there a lot of talents in Xiong Country?

After wandering around Henglu City for a while, a sergeant immediately came from outside and began to take over, and Zhao Xiao was inconvenient to stay and flew outside to find a place to stay.

"It seems that the Thousand Clever Moments are also extraterrestrial things." Zhao Xiao looked at Henglu City, which was lined with towers and pillars, and said to Ling Xiao in his heart: "No wonder even you don't recognize this thing, but Qianji Lingju seems to be able to sense that the True Yuan Jade Mansion is close to Dunjia Mountain." I suspect that when the Thousand Machines Pavilion craftsman dreams of the cave sky, it is likely that his mind was disturbed by the Thousand Machines Spiritual Moment, so he had the idea of intercepting the cave sky. ”

"Do you think that those craftsmen were secretly manipulated by a thousand clever moments?" Lingxiao asked rarely.

"I can't see it on the surface, I didn't feel it when I came into contact with the Thousand Machines Spiritual Moment, maybe I was originally coming to the True Yuan Jade Mansion, and I couldn't detect the change in my mind." Zhao Yan said: "I don't think it's strange that this thing can give spiritual wisdom to lifeless terracotta figurines, and can disturb ordinary people's minds and tamper with their thoughts. And the monks and warriors with firm souls are not disturbed by it. ”

"Then according to you, how to explain the situation of Emperor Ruiding?" Ling Xiao said: "Emperor Ruiding should also have immortal cultivation in his body, and it is impossible to be easily deterred by thousands of clever moments, but this person disregards the national strength and people's livelihood, gathers wealth and craftsmen, and forcibly builds Henglu City. ”

"The emperor sacrificed in the suburbs of the capital, welcomed the five directions and five qi, opened his heart, and accepted all souls, just like Liang Tao ascended to the altar and ascended to the altar back then, and he was defenseless." Zhao Xiao said: "One of the tasks of the praise officer to assist the suburban sacrifice is to protect the Dharma for the Tianxia Emperor. It's just that such a thing as a divine object falling from the sky is probably unexpected. ”

Ling Xiao said: "When Emperor Ruiding obtained a thousand clever moments, his mind had been tampered with. What's more, they are given away by something from outside the world. ”

Zhao Xiao was secretly shocked when he heard this, if this was the case, then the reigning Emperor Ruiding back then was probably already an outlier in human skin. It is no wonder that this person will make many absurd and bizarre measures, causing the people's hearts to be lost.

"The fall of the Tianxia Dynasty, in addition to the chaos in the world, there are also many people who interfere outside the sky." Zhao Xiao said: "The aura of a thousand clever moments is completely different from the wolf-headed evil god who urges people to change, and it is obviously another force. With so many extraterrestrial objects eyeing Kunlun Continent, I am afraid that it will be difficult to cut off the calamities in the future. ”

Zhao Xiao felt more and more that the fall of the Tianxia Dynasty, the fall of Qingya Zhenjun, and the robbery of the Yongjia Liang clan were widely implicated, and the immortal family meddled in the world, which may also be related to this, and the subsequent impact on earthly beings has created many variables.

Zhao Xiao is now cultivating to the realm, and he is also a master in the world, but he is never proud of it.

First, Zhao Xiao can be said to be rich in immortals, and he is used to seeing masters in the world, such as Liang Tao, Hong Xueke and other living immortal families, which are rare to see in the life of ordinary monks; Second, he vaguely realized that beyond the mortal world, there were more unfathomable existences, and even the high true immortals who opened up the cave heaven had fallen, and his own fact was not worth mentioning.

But if it's just a competition between the immortals, that's it. But now that he sensed that more than one extraterrestrial object was coveting Kunlun Continent, Zhao Xiao had a sense of urgency for life and death in his heart, and he found that with his current cultivation power, in the face of the hidden crisis outside the world, even self-protection was greatly insufficient.

Ling Xiao was silent for a long time, and Zhao Xiao was puzzled and asked, "Ling Xiao, do you know about the secret things related to the outside world?" ”

"You haven't reached the realm yet, so you don't need to ask." Lingxiao replied extremely stiffly.

"Again." Zhao Xiao said unhappily: "I have already come to Dunjia Mountain, and I am only one step away from the True Yuan Jade Mansion, at this time, do you still want to continue to hide from me?" ”

"Hiding from you?" Lingxiao's tone changed.

"You said that you were killed and robbed back then, and the True Form Law Body was beheaded, and only a little True Spirit escaped into the True Yuan Lock." Zhao Xiao said: "But you never want to tell the reason, even Liang Tao is inherited from Chongxuanguan, and he doesn't know your origin when he searches the scriptures."

Extraterrestrial things such as the Thousand Machines and Spiritual Moments sensed that the Cave Heaven Portal was approaching, and there was a vague intention of encroachment. All of these things make me have to be vigilant. I've always believed in you, but I don't want to open the Cave Portal and incur calamity that will affect all beings. ”

"I don't say, are you going to refuse to open the True Yuan Jade Mansion?" Lingxiao asked.

"I don't want to make that choice." Zhao Xiao said: "You just need to give me a definite answer." ”

Lingxiao was silent for a long time, until the sunset and the stars traveled to the sky, Zhao Xiao couldn't help but ask: "Lingxiao, is it possible that you also came from outside the sky?" ”

"It's not." This time, Lingxiao was very dryly denied.

"Then the True Yuan Jade Mansion is the cave you opened up?" Zhao Xiao asked again.

This time, Ling Xiao was silent again, and Zhao Xiao sighed helplessly: "Sure enough, how can there be such good luck in the world?" Find ancient relics in an abandoned cave, so as to get acquainted with the masters of the immortal family, and easily learn where a cave fairy realm is located...... It turns out that all this is a calculation. ”
