Thanks to the Collapse Sacrifice, Xun Qing, who has been busy with dogs for several days, finally has time to spare.

After a little lunch, I started to clean up the dusty workshop.

Li Xiang, who came back from Qujiangfang, also helped with Li Bai on the side.

Although Lu Gong's workshop is several times better than here, after all, it is something left by his teacher, and now that Lu Gong is out of danger, Xun Qing is no longer in it, and these days he has begun to plan when to open his own workshop.

Because he didn't have the money to buy a mechanism core, Xun Qing's operation of various mechanism beasts was a little shallow compared to other mechanism masters. However, for all the organs that do not need the core of the mechanism, he is often able to innovate and research some strange things.

For example, he recently built a mechanical vacuum cleaner after the dishwasher.

Sixteen fans create a huge suction power that sucks up all the dust, but sometimes it is easy for the wind to reverse and turn into a dust blower to make a mess of the house. But at least it's much better than the alarming frequency of breaking two bowls in a dishwasher on average.

Just as he was cleaning up, he turned out a large number of uncoordinated mechanisms that he had developed before.

"What is this?"

Li Bai squatted on the ground and looked at the huge bucket-like mechanism that was half a person high.

"Uh...... cough cough ......" Xun Qing embarrassedly pushed the thing back into the box and left: "This is something I studied before, when I was a child......"

"What?" Li Bai was curious.

"Ahem, this ......"

Xun Qing snorted for a long time, held it for a long time, and said in a voice that Li Bai could barely hear: "I can fly." ”

"Can you fly?!" Li Bai was shocked: "So powerful? ”

"When I was a child, I felt very envious when I watched birds fly in the sky...... But the boat was too expensive, and I couldn't sit down, so I thought, make a backpack that can fly, and it can carry me to the sky......"

"And then?"

"And then, just, it's done." Xun Qing sighed: "The wings are not useful, so I used the principle of incineration materials to produce a large amount of gas for compression and injection, and after calculation, theoretically speaking, it can fly." ”

"Theory?" Li Bai heard that something was wrong.

“…… Actually, it's actually possible. ”

Xun Qing looked away in embarrassment.

"Ah, I have an impression of this!" Li Xiang wiped the dust on the table, turned around and said, "Brother Xun Qing at that time, you were beaten so hard by the teacher!" ”

"Don't say it!" Xun Qing covered his face.

Although it weighs more than 100 pounds and no one can carry it, even if it can be carried on its back, the temperature is as high as hundreds of degrees when it starts, and the entire shell will be burned red, turning into cannon torture, and it can not change direction at all, so it can only rush straight to the sky and then run out of gas and smash down......

Ignoring these 'insignificant' shortcomings, this thing is really useful.

At least it must be able to fly!

Well, I was beaten half to death by the teacher because I wasted the material, and this thing was put on the shelf and never touched again.

Where is this flying backpack, this is a suicide backpack!

Even Li Bai was shocked by Xun Qing's derailed creativity at this moment.

"What about this?"

He looked at a huge box filled with gears and reeds, as well as a complex dial, "What is this for?" ”

“…… This is an abacus that I made from leftovers from my teacher's work. ”

After Xun Qing was silent for a long time, he said in a whisper: "I hated calculation when I was a child, so I wanted to make a tool to help me calculate." ”

"Abacus?"

Li Bai looked left and right, and he couldn't see that this thing was an abacus at all.

"How do you use it?"

"Ahem, you need to convert the numbers into another organ language, then engrave them on the copper foil tape, punch them, enter them into the calculation bin, and then shake the lever, and then ...... And then...... And then ...... Finally, it will output a copper strip in reverse, and then translate the language on the copper strip into a number, which is the calculation result. ”

Xun Qing's tirade couldn't stop at the beginning, Li Bai only felt his two ears buzzing, and he didn't know what he was talking about. But I didn't hear anything wrong.

"Will this blow up too?"

"Ahem, it won't ......" Xun Qing said: "It's calculated correctly, there has never been a problem, well, it's very easy to use!" Very easy to use! ”

Li Xiang stopped talking next to him.

Snickering.

He had seen Xun Qing use this thing before......

It does work, no problem.

The only problem is that the whole process of calculating the addition and subtraction of the ten-digit number takes several hours, and for the same amount of time, even a random child on the street can come up with a result!

There is no use at all!

Obviously, I spent so much time, but I ended up making a problem-solving machine that was more troublesome than doing problems.

Thinking of this, Xun Qing couldn't help but want to shed tears.

"A dishwasher for breaking dishes, a vacuum cleaner for blowing dust, and this barbecue exploding backpack and this mechanism abacus, in a sense......"

Li Bai patted his shoulder admiringly: "You are really a genius, Xun Qing!" ”

"I see, please stop saying that! Please! ”

Xun Qing couldn't resist the urge to hang himself.

After putting all the mess in the attic, all that's left is the giant wreckage of the machine.

The last work left by Mr. Xun Qing.

Semi-finished products.

Even the huge head was a man tall, two thick thighs, one was not put together, revealing countless dusty parts, and the other thigh was changed into a beam by Xun Qing, all the way from the ground to the roof of the third floor.

The rest of the giant hands and arms were suspended in mid-air by the boom, and the huge chest cavity was open, and the inside was covered with all kinds of complex equipment, which was staggering.

"Djinn One."

Xun Qing wiped her sweat and stared at the work in front of her: "That's what my teacher called it." He spent his whole life on this one person, but unfortunately, in the end, there was still no result...... In the end, he was not able to imitate the legendary Celestial Master. ”

The Chang'an strange story called the [Heavenly Master of the Organ].

Legend has it that the god of steel, the god of steel who devours fire and eats gold, roams the middle night of the Midyear Festival, fighting countless evil spirits who have returned to the world, and capturing them back to hell.

- Celestial Master Zhong Kui!

Every child in Chang'an City has heard of its legend, and some people even worship it as a god. But apart from countless rumors, no one has ever been able to come up with evidence to prove its existence.

In the eyes of Chang'an people, Xun Qing's teacher is also one of the countless daydreamers.

Even Xun Qing couldn't believe that his teacher had really seen such an existence.

But in the last few years of his life, Xun Qing's teacher still kept telling his students that story, the story of the steel giant spirit that fell from the sky when he encountered a crisis.

When Anle Fang collapsed, the teacher who was buried deep at the bottom saw everything in his most desperate moments was like an illusion.

The god of the mechanism descended from the sky.

The gods burned with cyan flames, majestic and noble, and rescued him from despair......

"That sounds amazing." Li Bai was fascinated: "If there is such an organ, I can't imagine how strong it is, if you have a chance to fight!" ”

"If only there were."

Xun Qing shook his head with a wry smile, and looked back at the crippled machine man in front of him: "Impossible, Li Bai, there is no mechanism core in this world that can create such a steel machine god, even a shrunken version can't do it." My teacher has spent most of his life trying to restore this outline......"

But without a mechanism core, this huge mechanism in front of you, no matter how powerful it is, is just a dead thing.

"In the past, I always felt that the teacher was old and confused, and he didn't want to put a good future, and he had to prove the existence of the Heavenly Master to others.

But now it seems that what the teacher wants to prove is not to save his own Heavenly Master, but to create a god of the organ who can save others one day. ”

Xun Qing stretched out his hand and stroked the remains of the machine man in front of him: "Zhong Kui exists, and the organ heavenly master exists, so no matter how terrible the suffering is, there is no need to be afraid." There will be a god of war coming down from the sky to save us. If there is such hope, then everyone can be excited about it. ”

He was silent for a moment, then looked back at Li Bai, his eyes filled with the brilliance of longing: "I want to restart this organ workshop and complete the teacher's work, not to prove how powerful the organ heavenly master is, but to prove that when everyone is in trouble, there will definitely be someone who will lend a hand."

My power is insignificant, but the power of the mechanism is endless...... As long as it can be completed, even if it encounters a big collapse again, everyone doesn't have to be afraid anymore! ”

Li Bai was silent for a moment, not knowing whether to agree or oppose.

"Can you really do what your teacher can't do in his lifetime?"

"I'm afraid it's hard." Xun Qing shook his head: "Maybe if I gamble for the rest of my life, I won't achieve anything."

But how do you know without trying? As it happens, I still have a lot of time...... If even a guy like me can become a proprietor, then it must be a good idea, right? ”

"You're asking for trouble again."

Li Bai sighed: "You guy, you will always decide a bunch of troublesome things with a row of heads." I don't have much to say as a friend, but wouldn't it be painful to be bound by such a thing for the rest of my life? ”

"Perhaps?"

Xun Qing looked up at the huge wreckage of the mechanism in front of him and smiled bitterly: "Wasting a lifetime of time on something, I was so scared to think about it before." But now that I think about it, I feel that if I can achieve such a thing in my life, it must not be empty. ”

"You're amazing, Xun Qing." Li Bai said admiringly.

"Don't talk about me, what about you."

Xun Qing looked over: "Your talent is a thousand times better than mine, Li Bai, don't you have any dreams?" ”

"Maybe there will be in the future."

Li Bai thought for a moment and smiled: "When I was a child, I wanted to be the strongest swordsman in the world, and then I wanted to write all the poems in the world, and then later, I wanted to taste all the fine wines from all over the world...... But it's not a dream. ”

He pressed the long sword on his knee, full of anticipation, "If you really want to say anything, I hope that one day, all the injustices in the world can be cut off by my sword." ”

"What about you, Li Xiang?"

Xun Qing looked behind him, and in the corner, the young man with no sense of existence quietly listened to their conversation and smiled with them.

"Ah, me? I'll forget it, it's good to be able to play the piano like that. ”

The blind young man waved his hand, embarrassed: "Of course, it would be nice if I could see that the dreams of Brother Xun Qing and Mr. Li Bai could be realized." ”

"Then you have to be the best luthier in Chang'an City!" Xun Qing said.

"It's hard to be the best." Li Xiang held the flower pot and sniffed the fragrance of orchids. I didn't think I could do it, but my smile became longing.

"Okay, that's it."

After sprinkling and sweeping, Xun Qing crossed his waist and proudly announced: "Celebrate, let's eat beef stew at night!" ”

"Huh?"

Li Bai raised his head and was overjoyed: "Xun Qing, are you rich?" ”

In an instant, Xun Qing's face twitched.

The pride was brutally hit by reality. touched the empty wallet in the middle of the sky, and looked gloomy: "Let's eat and continue to eat cabbage......"

When it was not dawn, Li Bai was woken up by Li Xiang.

Drunken and drunk, unkempt hair, hungover and drowsy, blankly opened his mouth to look left and right, not knowing what was going on.

Last night, he accidentally drank a little too much, causing him to suspect that he had been unlucky to commit something when he opened his eyes, and was caught by Di Renjie's guy in Dali Temple.

"What's wrong?" He asked, "Is it dawn?" ”

“…… Didn't you say today that you were going to see the Fang City and enter the city? Li Xiang reminded helplessly: "I've called you twice, but you haven't woken up, the carriage has been waiting for a long time." ”

Li Bai lined his head and finally remembered.

What day is it.

The newborn Fang City is about to move into Chang'an!

Such a rare scene, there may not be once in decades, the people who go to see it must be crowded, and if you don't get up early to go to the station, I'm afraid there will be no place in the front row when it's late!

All the candidates for the owner will show up at that time, in order to make a strong appearance, Xun Qing also gritted his teeth and borrowed a machine carriage, and changed into the uniform of the organ division that he was not willing to wear a few times after he sent it down.

It's just a pair of dark circles that are too bad for the scenery.

I was so nervous that I didn't sleep at all last night.

Seeing more and more pedestrians along the way, my face became a little paler, and I was completely too nervous when I made my first public appearance!

Then when I got out of the carriage, I almost fell.

The genius was bright, and on the edge of Chang'an, a black crowd had already gathered, constantly looking at it. Under the reprimand of the officials of Honglu Temple, order was maintained, and finally no one fell off the city wall, causing any damage.

After Yu Hengsi's adjustment for several days, a huge gap has appeared in the outermost part of Chang'an City, and across the low wall, there is a high altitude outside.

It was a towering city of institutions, leaving room for the nascent city.

Through the operation and changes between dozens of markets, the way they are combined with each other has been changed, and then it has expanded outward, thus forming this huge vacancy.

Through the gap, you can also see countless slow-moving hubs and massive structures.

And when the newborn sun leaps out of the sea of clouds, it reflects everything as bright as gold.

A gust of wind blew in the face, making the sea of clouds also ripple, constantly slapping the edge of Chang'an City, like a tide. This is the most famous wonder of Chang'an City - the sun rising in the sea of clouds.

There was a cry of surprise from the crowd around the edge of the gap, and not even those who grew up in Chang'an City had ever been able to see such a scene so closely.

At this moment, under the glow, Li Bai, who had just gotten out of the car, was also surprised.

Relying on the identity of the candidate with Xun Qingfang, there is no need to queue up in the outermost area, naturally there are high stands for him, and there is even plenty of room for him to bring a few people to enjoy the scenery together.

The more he went up, the more Li Bai noticed that the calves under Xun Qing's robe began to tremble.

It's already starting to be inflated.

I'm starting to be scared now, what can I do later?

"Cheer up." Li Bai reminded in a low voice: "You represent all the people in Anle Fang, and you can't have a little weakness at this time." ”

What Yixi said is still very effective.

Specifically, he trembled even more...... Trembling to the end, suddenly he stopped shaking again, his face was as usual, his expression was calm, but he was faintly arrogant.

People who don't know think that he has nothing to look for, but Li Bai feels that this guy has entered a state of broken jars.

There are already a lot of people on the high platform.

The owner candidates talked and laughed with each other, and when they saw Li Bai and them coming, they didn't ridicule or mock them as Xun Qing expected, but warmly greeted each other.

After a few polite words, everyone took their seats and watched the ups and downs of the sea of clouds up close, and their own waiters served melons and fruits and tea.

It was not as hostile as expected, on the contrary, it looked like it was peaceful.

Xun Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

It's just that Li Bai is keenly aware of the words and hidden edges of other people when they talk to each other, as well as faint hostility.

And Xun Qing's part, on the contrary, no one cares.

As if it were transparent.

Li Bai didn't know what to say.

At the beginning of the emotional fight, Xun Qing was not regarded as an opponent by them......

Thinking of this, he patted Xun Qing's shoulder sympathetically: "Work hard." ”

"Ahh

Xun Qing nibbled on the free fruit, looking dazed.

Li Bai sighed and began to wonder: Counting on this fool to be the owner, is his confidence a little too much?

The waiting time flicked away, and soon Li Bai noticed that a group of luxurious motorloads were slowly coming from a distance, and after the crowd was lined up, a slightly old middle-aged man came to the stage under the support of everyone.

The carriage with the Pisces pattern was very familiar, making Li Bai feel that he had seen it somewhere.

Lee's nobles!

The guy who showed up at Duke Lu's birthday banquet.

It seems to be called ...... Li Boqing?

Just when he realized the identity of the person who came, he saw that at the front, Bo Qingjun, who was surrounded by the crowd, looked up here and glanced indifferently.

It seems to be looking around calmly, with a graceful bearing.

But Li Xiang, who was holding the corner of Li Baiyi, couldn't help but pull his clothes.

"What's wrong?"

"It's a little cold." Li Xiang tilted his ears and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Li Bai, what happened?" ”

"No, nothing."

Li Bai couldn't help but glance at the back of the person sitting at the front, and then told Li Xiang: "Don't worry, nothing will happen." ”
