Chapter 30: The Pioneer No. 3
After Shi Cheng and Wu Neng's conversation ended, the time had come to Shen. After Wu Neng complained about Shi Cheng for a while, the two of them walked towards the north of Redwood City one after the other. Wu Neng was a little strange, so he asked, "Where are we going now?" ”
Shi Cheng replied: "You can't stay in the city for a long time now, and the news of your escape from prison may have spread now." We're going to go now, where I'm going to dig the tunnel. ”
"Dig now." Wu Neng muttered, "My stomach is still deflated." ”
"Can you die without a meal?"
Wu Neng glared at Shi Cheng fiercely and said, "Throwing you into prison and being tortured for a few days is really not a backache when you stand and talk." Now, even if I am given a few stinky pickled fish made in Kitamori, I can swallow them in one bite. ”
"Here you go," Shi Cheng threw two burritos to Wu Neng, handed him a pot of water, and said, "You put on a mat first, and we'll have a good rub in the evening." ”
Although Wu Neng's skills are mediocre, he is also a martial artist after all, and his physical fitness is not comparable to ordinary people, let alone Shi Cheng. Although the two of them made a circle outside the city, it didn't take much time to reach the north side of Redwood City.
"Where the hell are we going?" Wu Neng couldn't help but ask.
Shi Cheng didn't reply, but led Wu Neng up a small hill, pointed to a low ground not far away and said, "Have you seen that small building over there?" ”
Wu Neng looked at it for a while, and said with some uncertainty: "It seems to be an ancestral hall......"
"That's right," Shi Cheng nodded and said, "The Bai family's ancestral hall is here." ”
"You don't want to ......"
"All the strange things in the Bai family started with that time when the head of the family sacrificed alone. It's been more than half a month, but I'm sure I'll still be able to find something I'm looking for here. In order to avoid being discovered by the Bai family when digging a tunnel, I need you to dig a tunnel at the back of this small hill that leads to the bottom of the ancestral hall. The Bai family has arranged a lot of manpower outside the ancestral hall, although I don't take them seriously, but I don't want to startle the snake because of the hard break, so this time I have to rely on your tricks. ”
Wu Neng glanced at the Bai Family Ancestral Hall in the distance, stretched out his finger and compared, then turned his head and said to Shi Cheng: "The terrain here is not complicated, and the soil is not as loose as other places. The general distance is about the same as you said, so there should be no problem. ”
After speaking, Wu Neng took out a small wooden box that was wide and long, and contained lenses at both ends. He propped up the small wooden box on the ground, put one end in front of his eyes, and scanned the entire Bai family ancestral hall and the surrounding open space through the wooden box, and stretched out his hand to keep measuring the distance of the ancestral hall.
"What are you doing here?" Shi Cheng asked with some curiosity.
Wu Neng said proudly: "I don't understand, I'm measuring the terrain and distance near the ancestral hall, and drawing them on the map." You don't want us to just get under the feet of those janitors. ”
"Your mechanisters are really different." Shi Cheng was amazed.
After calculating for a while, Wu Neng nodded with satisfaction, took back the small wooden box, and took out paper and pen. Soon, a lifelike sketch of the ancestral hall and its surrounding terrain appeared on the paper, with many lines and numbers of different colors. As soon as Shi Chenggang turned his head over to take a look, he couldn't help but give a thumbs up and praise repeatedly.
Wu Neng said proudly: "Okay, now that the drawing is over, it's time for you to take a look at our Yanmen's black technology." ”
After speaking, he opened a lid on the Hidden Heaven Box, operated on a knob inside, a white light flashed, and four behemoths appeared in front of Shi Cheng's eyes.
The behemoths in front of them were actually giants made of gold and stone, more than a foot high, and the giant's whole body was covered with layers of steel plates, and two huge shovels were attached to their two arms.
"How's that, it's amazing. This is the most proud engineering organization in our Yanmen - Pioneer No. 3, which we generally call Kaishan Saburo. ”
After speaking, Wu Neng took out a token and waved it a few times towards the four Kaishan Saburo, and the heavy bodies of the four golden stone giants began to move, and the huge shovel continued to dance, and in less than a stick of incense, a huge pit was opened under the small hill.
Shi Cheng looked at the four huge figures who were constantly busy in the pit, and he was also quite shocked in his heart. He sighed again and again that it was better to see than to hear, the Yanmen's mechanism was really mysterious, and they knew how to use the smallest energy to accomplish the greatest achievement by driving the mechanism. If a monk were to blast out such a large pit with his true qi, then the amount of energy that the monk needed to consume would probably not be able to catch up with the four organs combined.
"You dig first, and I'll find a way to go back to Redwood City." Shi Cheng suddenly instructed Wu Neng: "I'll sneak back to Redwood City to buy some food in a while, and by the way, see if I can buy some energy for you." ”
Wu Neng was a little worried and asked, "Huh? But will Redwood City hunt us down all over the city now, and is it safe for you to go back now? ”
Shi Chengman didn't care, and said, "It's not difficult to disguise yourself and sneak into the city, otherwise how would I get you out of the dungeon?" Rest assured. ”
"Okay, you can help me see if I can find that kind of high-quality spirit crystal in the city." Wu Neng's eyes couldn't help but light up.
Shi Cheng glanced at Wu Neng and said, "What do you think, where can I get you a spirit crystal from Emperor Gao's far away this day, it's good to be able to buy high-quality coal or oil, but I don't know if your organ can be used." ”
"Yes, yes, you can use it, but didn't you say you were going to compensate me?!"
"It's good to use it, there are ways to compensate you, and I didn't say I wanted to buy you spirit crystals."
Looking at Wu Neng's face like a frosted eggplant, Shi Cheng hurriedly comforted a few words: "Don't worry, you can dig tunnels with peace of mind, I will definitely not give you a short silver ticket." ”
After Shi Cheng reminded Wu Neng to pay attention to safety and concealment, he quietly left the small hill and headed straight for Redwood City.
It wasn't until it was dark that Shi Cheng returned to the bottom of the small hill, he sat down next to Wu Neng, and pulled out two huge packages from the storage bag.
Wu Neng asked curiously, "Didn't you go to buy food, why did you bring back two big bags?" ”
"This bag contains enough food and water for two days." Shi Cheng said as he threw the package he was carrying in his left hand to Wu Neng's side.
"That's a lot. Good guys, pretty hearty. ”
"Today is the twenty-third day of the third month of the Gregorian calendar, and the twenty-third day of March this year is the eleventh day of the second month in the Chita ancient calendar of our Union Khanate." Shi Cheng said while tugging at his fingers: "Since ancient times, it has been a festival to worship the god of the Mother River, of course, you need to eat some good food."
"Of course, godliness is secondary, and the bigger reason is that we're going to stay here until you dig the tunnel." Shi Cheng took out the bag in his right hand as he spoke, and shook it at Wu Neng: "Oh, look at what I bought for you." ”
Wu Neng took the bag, glanced inside, and said in surprise: "Yes, you, how did you get so much oil in this place?" ”
"I've heard that your Yanmen has a strange technique that can burn oil to power mechanisms, so I bought some back, hoping it will work for you."
"Yes, but it's not mature." Wu Neng scratched his head, "But it doesn't matter, I can still make it up, and I can keep the rest for experiments." ”
After saying this, Wu Neng raised his head and asked curiously, "By the way, you haven't answered me yet, where did you get these things?" ”
Shi Cheng replied: "This is not difficult, although Redwood City is small, but after all, it is a port city, and there will still be a lot of goods flowing in from the outside world, and the inventory of the port in this city is not strict, and it is normal for smuggling to be rampant, so I went to some underground black markets in the city to take a look, and I really bought a lot." ”
Wu Neng looked at Shi Cheng like a monster: "How much money do you have?" Last time I saw that you still had a storage bag, I always felt that you were not just a nominal pharmacist of the Pharmacist Chamber of Commerce. ”
"I don't have a little common sense, I'm a Dan Master, will I be short of money?"
Wu Neng glanced at him and said, "Pull it down, I'm not stupid, I can also see your level when you were refining the pill that day, at most you are a beginner Dan master, and you will not be as rich as you." You tell you the truth, was the pill you took out during the free clinic given to you by your sect? ”
Shi Cheng took out a meatloaf from the food bag, took a bite, and said, "I can only tell you that what you see with your eyes may not be the truth. ”
Wu Neng didn't bother to argue with Shi Cheng, so he also took out a meatloaf and gnawed it down.
Shi Cheng looked at the four giants who were busy in the tunnel, and his heart was quite satisfied. Wu Neng once said that this tunnel will be completed in about one night, but according to the current progress, I am afraid that it will not take a whole night to complete.
Shi Cheng sat on a large boulder, next to an hourglass that had just been taken out of the storage bag. His gaze seemed to penetrate the thick layer of soil and fell directly on the Bai family ancestral hall on the low ground not far away.
"Soon, it will all fall into place." He thought to himself.
