Chapter 1 The Long Night

In the evening, Yuan Fang came to visit the prison with a lunch box.

The lunch box was kept for himself, and his younger siblings prepared ribs and stewed meat for him, which smelled sweet. It seems that Li Bai is regarded by him as a place to fish and paddle here, and he runs over every once in a while to find cleanliness.

In return for Li Bai not exposing him, he occasionally brought some outside news.

"Don't worry, Xun Qing is still alive."

Yuan Fang sat on the chair opposite the cell, and while eating dinner, he said vaguely: "In the afternoon, someone saw him, but when the people from Honglu Temple passed, they had already run away."

Strangely, the remnants of Anle Fang all said that they had not seen him as if they had discussed it. Someone else deliberately pointed in the wrong direction, and it looked like they were going to be locked up for a night or two. ”

"Hmm."

Li Bai, who was dozing off with his eyes closed on the bed, nodded slightly: "Thank you, I know." ”

Yuan Fang's chopsticks paused for a moment, and he looked up suspiciously: "You don't seem to be worried about him at all?" When normal people encounter such a situation, most of them have already collapsed, right? ”

"Well, maybe, that guy must be crying a lot." Li Bai sighed lightly, "But he won't give up, Yuan Fang." ”

"Why?"

"Because he's strong."

Li Bai told him seriously: "As strong as me." ”

Although Xun Qing has said for a long time that Li Bai gave him courage, it is not like that in fact.

He is different from himself.

In other words, it has nothing to do with all geniuses.

It is not that he has a talent that is difficult for ordinary people to reach, nor is he born to be able to spread his wings and soar in the sky like a bird, but he struggled up from the quagmire, gritted his teeth and worked hard, shed blood and sweat, and got to his current situation after several ups and downs.

That winding road is far longer than the trajectory of any bird in the sky.

For the predicament of ordinary people, he has long been accustomed to it.

Maybe he'll cry, he'll be afraid, he'll doubt himself, and he'll be, like everybody, but if he is given a little time, he'll get back on his feet.

Even if it falls again, it doesn't matter.

Even if you know that you are just a mortal......

But as long as there are people standing by his side, he will not give up, and as long as someone trusts him, he will definitely not disappoint.

No matter how scared and uneasy you are, when you face your friends and children, you will show a bright smile.

It is precisely because there are such people in this world that there are beautiful things.

"Besides, it's easier to just get back up than to wait for the fruit from the tree to hit your head, right?"

Li Bai looked out at the twilight night sky outside the iron window.

Though I can't see the birds of the sky,

But in that darkness, there was still the light of the stars shining.

It's like the soul is burning.

In the dim light of the stars, the roller shutter was raised.

The bearded man blew the dust in the air, raised the lamp to illuminate the dimly lit workshop, and then, out of the way, said to the cloak visitor behind him:

"This is my agency workshop, everything is second-hand in exchange, barely usable, don't dislike it.

I sleep on the second floor, the toilet is outside, and I will bring over the food every day, but because of my craftsmanship, I don't expect it to be particularly delicious. ”

"Thanks, Brother Xin Tong."

The visitor took off his hood, revealing Xun Qing's face, and bowed sincerely to the helper.

Dao Xuangong's former eldest disciple, Xin Tong sighed and shook his head helplessly: "Where is it, such an important matter, you are willing to believe me as a guy who escaped from the battle, I am too late to be happy."

It's just that Lu Gong really ......"

Xun Qing didn't speak.

In the long silence, Xin Tong closed his eyes and sighed silently.

"Don't talk about that, come in."

He took Xun Qing into his humble workshop and put the contents of the package on the table: "Everything you want is here...... I searched for a long time with a few second-hand dealers who collected scrap. ”

Inside the open package was a bleak core.

Forged organ nucleus.

With the advancement of Lu Daoxuan's plan, it seems that there are more and more of these fake organ cores circulating in the market, or rather...... He finally stopped hiding it.

And with such a huge operation, I'm afraid no one can hide in the dark all the time, right?

"This thing is really Lu Gong...... Ahem, is there nothing to be done? ”

Xin Tong took the tool and examined it carefully: "No matter what, I can't believe it, such a fake thing." If it was a forgery, his research on the mechanism core would have been far ahead of this era. ”

"It's not a fake."

Xun Qing took the core from in front of him, leaned in front of him, and looked at it carefully: "What if, this thing was once real?" ”

Xin Tong was stunned and couldn't understand.

But Xun Qing used the simple equipment in the machine workshop to make a most basic three-legged machine beast, and each organ apprentice will study the foundation of the foundation, and now he has made it smooth, and that skillful posture even Xin Tong, who has been in the door for many years, feels beyond reach.

Core refill.

Wake up to the law of the trap.

The three-legged beast suddenly spasmed rapidly, and after a puff of green smoke came out, there was an overload flash inside, and it was completely paralyzed and immobile.

Xin Tong shook his head: "It's useless, this kind of thing will only react to special organ laws, and if you don't understand the key, it will only be scrapped." ”

"At least, it's the same as the original nucleus, isn't it?"

Xun Qing muttered softly: "I started to suspect it a long time ago, but I didn't expect that Lu Gong really did it to this extent...... Brother Xin Tong, he didn't imitate the organ cores, because these organ cores were originally real! ”

Xin Tong was sluggish.

"Yes...... Can ......"

"But the real nucleus wouldn't be so rigid and sluggish, would it? Nor will the real apparatus obey any order to kill people.

Unless, it has already been killed. ”

Xun Qing sighed lightly: "Lu Gong didn't imitate the organ core, he just erased the soul that was naturally formed in the original organ core......"

Through some method, the nucleus of the mechanism that brewed a small miracle was completely destroyed, erasing the original surging spirits, and replacing them with human commands.

No matter how agile it is, but at the same time, it becomes a puppet that obeys any order 100 percent, even if it drives them to kill, destroy and destroy, without the slightest hesitation.

Because what he controls is not a nimble trap beast, but an out-and-out living corpse!

Xin Tong froze in place.

Unbelievable.

I only felt a chill rising from my heart, enveloping my whole body, like falling into an ice cave.

Once it spreads, what a huge wave it will set off!

Chang'an's mechanics have always been proud of their agility and intelligence in their creations, and even some of them are not inferior to living people, and even more kind and compassionate than real humans, because they have never wanted to hurt anyone since the first day of their birth.

Especially through the guidance of the Mechanic Law, the Mechanic can resonate with the Trap Beast and feel each other's joys, sorrows, and sorrows...... Killing them is no different than killing something else!

But what is even more terrifying is the terrible consequences of such a technology if it is misused.

These gentle and kind beasts will be transformed into living corpses that perfectly obey all orders under the desires of the greedy, and become tools for evil, and what a huge slaughter......

It was only now that Xin Tong truly believed in his heart that what Xun Qing said was true.

No, it should be said that he finally understood what Wu Yougong's confidence was in controlling Chang'an.

If there is such a technology, then it is probably not delusional to kill and transform the organ core of Fang City. After such a long period of foreshadowing and brewing, his power has covered every darkness in Chang'an......

At that time, all the fang markets will be under his control, and Chang'an will also operate under his will.

The whole city will be turned into his puppet.

"However, this is simply not possible."

Xin Tong shook his head distractedly: "There are three divisions in the front, nobles in the back, and Weiyang Palace and Jin Wuwei, if Wu Yougong can really master the organs of so many Fang City, he doesn't need to do this at all, and he can directly control Chang'an." ”

"You don't need all of them, just a part of the important nodes in your hands."

Xun Qing silently calculated the result in his heart, and shook his head: "Half, no, one-third is not needed, if it is Lu Gong, there is one-fifth of the core of Fang City as the key node, then it is enough to reverse the operation of the entire Chang'an." ”

"Impossible, if you want to achieve such exquisite control, you must first master the operation of Chang'an, through a large number of calculations and data, with the timing, to be able to play an effect."

Xin Tong categorically retorted: "The operation of Chang'an City has never been amorphous, and even Yu Hengsi has been unpredictable for so many years, let alone Wugong. ”

"Yes, Chang'an is unpredictable, contains the principles of heaven and earth, and never takes human will as the transfer."

Xun Qing was silent for a long time, and suddenly asked, "But is it really unfixed?" Brother Xin Tong, what you should know is just being blinded by common sense. ”

He had never thought of that.

Until he personally got a reminder from Wu Yougong - even if Lu Daoxuan never intended to tell him the truth, but when Xun Qing really did what he wanted, was no longer bound by common sense, broke the convention, and really opened the door without taboos, all the changes would no longer have any cover-up.

It is true that Chang'an's operation has never been amorphous, but this is not necessarily the case.

- The only exception is when Fang City was born!

In order to adjust the division of the Fang City, in order to make room for the new Fang Market, it will inevitably follow the most concise and efficient way to enter the established trajectory......

And this is the only chance for Wu Yougong!

It is also the only reason why he has been waiting for so many years!

Only at the moment when the newly-born Fang City is completely connected to Chang'an, can he complete his plan and truly control Chang'an in his own hands.

It's as if he's manipulating thousands of puppets to dance at the same time.

Let the world change under your fingers.

In the past, Xun Qing would definitely be frightened and uneasy at the moment of enlightenment, but now what is surging in his heart is a joy and joy that he can't even understand.

It's still too late!

Because, time is on their side.

All of this can be unsalved......

"Who's there!"

Sensing the noise outside the door, Xin Tong subconsciously turned around, grabbed the wrench, and was on guard.

And in the night outside the door, a pale mask slowly emerged, like a ghost.

Behind him, two huge carriages slowly stopped, and the silent wraiths unwrapped their felt cloths, revealing the silent mass of mechanisms below, moved into the cramped workshop, quickly filling every space.

"Mr. Xun, all the things you want have been sent to you."

The white mask at the head said hoarsely: "Lord Yellow Hata said that there is only so much we can do, and I hope you can keep your promise." ”

"Please rest assured, the red-faced feud, I will take the place of the ghost market to ask for it back from the Wuyougong."

Xun Qing calmly agreed.

So, the ghosts bowed their heads, took one last look at him, and turned to leave.

All that was left was the wreckage of the mechanism everywhere - it was something that the ghosts of the ghost city had brought from Xun Qing's workshop, and after bypassing the blockade of the Honglu Temple, they dismantled the huge mechanism giant into pieces and sent it to him again.

With the boom and tools running, the armored giant, which had been silent for many years, slowly regained its original silhouette.

It huddles in the cramped workshop, like an embryonic baby sleeping peacefully in the ovary.

From the silence, a huge amount of power is brewing.

"That's your plan?"

Xin Tong was stunned and shook his head: "It's exactly the same as your teacher, Xun Qing, don't be delusional, there is no organ core that matches it, such a big thing can't move!" ”

"No, actually."

Xun Qing looked up at the giant's solemn face and smiled: "If there is no organ core, it can't move, then I am the organ core."

If it needs a soul, use me. ”

"Are you crazy?"

Xin Tong was furious: "That will burn your nerves and brains!" Purely using the law of mechanism to control such a huge mechanism is not at all what humans can afford! ”

"It doesn't matter."

Xun Qing replied calmly, "I just don't want to be the one who can only run away when my friends fight......"

In the dim light, the young mechanic raised his hands, took off his coat, and exposed his bodyβ€”even his arms, legs, and shoulder blades, which were marked with ink lines!

When he looked back at Xin Tong, he showed a happy expression like a provocation: "It's been so many years since I finished the organ master's exam, how much does Senior Brother Xin Tong remember the bone cultivation method in the six skills of the organ?" ”

In the dead silence, Xin Tong looked at him blankly.

I only feel that the horror of my life seems to be used up in this short night.

He understood what Xun Qing meant, he should have angrily scolded this madman for looking for death and not pulling himself in.

But for some reason, I couldn't help but laugh with him.

"Don't worry."

The mechanic, who had also escaped from the battle, rolled up his sleeve, picked up his tools again, and told him, "It's more than enough for you." ”

The long night began here.
