Chapter 58: The Reception Feast
After everyone was silent for a while, Shi Cheng looked up at Wu Neng and asked, "Old Wu, I know that you organ magicians also have their own set of realm divisions, at first they gathered sand into a tower, then they gave stones to spirits, and then they forged gold for insects, and then what else came from behind?" Old Wu, your mechanical attainments have reached the point of forging gold as an insect, what kind of realm is that Ling Xuan? ”
"You know a lot about Lao Shi, in fact, I have just touched the realm of forging gold as an insect." Wu Neng admired Shi Cheng's insight and threw himself to the ground, "In fact, the gap between the first three realms of the mechanism is not too big, the gap between the forging gold insect and the fourth realm after that is the real qualitative change step, the name of the fourth realm is Kesha Weizhou, and then the last realm in the history of our Yanmen only two monsters can be comprehended in the later years of their lives, but unfortunately the time is too long, their thinking is too advanced, and the scale of our Yanmen is not large, Therefore, only a small part of the knowledge of those two seniors has been retained, and the realm that all mechanics dream of is called Fang Fenchen. ”
"Carve the sand for the boat, and divide the dust in a way...... Sand...... Dust ......" Shi Cheng savored these words, "Old Wu, I have an understanding, I don't know if it's right, your skill as a mechanic seems to be negatively related to how big things you can carve, right, the more you can deal with small and micro things, the more it shows that the realm of a mechanic is very high." ”
"Yes, exactly. Gathering sand into a tower is to be able to combine various small components into a large and complete mechanism, and to be able to do these is considered to be the introduction to the mechanism; As for the stone spirit, it means that the large mechanism is miniaturized, and a tower is made to the size of stone, and at the same time, the performance is not greatly compromised. ”
"Forging gold as a worm literally means that it is capable of making a mechanism the size of a bug; The realm of carving sand as a boat refers to the ability of a mechanic to perform complex operations in a space the size of sand, and complete a practical mechanism. ”
"What about the way to divide the dust?" Iron Mask still couldn't understand the meaning of the name.
"Lao Shi, Lao Tie, have you ever heard of such a saying that our whole world is made up of tiny dust that is too small to be divided."
Shi Cheng quickly reacted, and Iron Mask nodded after thinking about it for a moment.
Wu Neng continued: "The predecessors and sages of our Yanmen agree with this statement, so the realm of dividing the dust means that the mechanic can complete all kinds of operations in this kind of dust. ”
"Yanmen has actually produced two seniors who can do this." Shi Cheng's jaw was about to fall, "This kind of realm, it sounds too incredible, even the power of the Grandmaster Realm does not have the ability to penetrate everything in the world to this extent!" ”
Wu Neng spread his hands helplessly, and said with a regretful face: "It is precisely because this realm is too difficult and profound, and the two predecessors are only worthy of enlightenment at the end of their lives, but it is a pity that our uncompetitive descendants have not been able to pass on their wisdom." ”
Tie Mian still didn't understand the meaning of the two realm names of Kesha Weizhou and Youfang Fenchen before, but when he heard Shi Cheng and Wu Neng say this, his heart was also opened.
Shi Cheng sighed for a while before pulling the topic back: "To get back to the point, what realm is that Ling Xuan, he must be higher than Lao Wu." Having said that, Lao Wu, you are so young, you have already reached the third realm, and you are definitely a genius in your sect. ”
Wu Neng, who likes to brag and fart in front of Shi Cheng on weekdays, was a little embarrassed to be praised at this time, "Old Shi, don't praise me like that, I will be inflated, most of the people who can enter the Yanmen to practice are selected by thousands of people, you think I am powerful, but many of my senior brothers and sisters are more talented than me." ”
"As for Ling Xuan's traitor, he has been stepping into the realm of carving sand for ten years, and there are only eleven people in our Yanmen who have reached the realm of carving sand as a boat, and Ling Xuan is one of them."
Wu Neng clenched his fists unwillingly, "I've been trying to get revenge on him all these years, but my skill level is too much worse than his." ”
Shi Cheng shook his head and said, "I just think that Old Wu, you are naturally talented in mechanical arts, and you are so young, there is still time, as long as you make unremitting progress, you will be able to catch up sooner or later, besides, there is me and Tie Mian, by the way, do you know what realm Ling Xuan's martial arts cultivation is?" ”
Shi Cheng's encouragement warmed Wu Neng's heart, and he replied, "I remember that Master once mentioned that it should be the Cultivator Realm, but I don't know exactly what level it is. ”
Shi Cheng thought for a moment and said: "Ling Xuan, this person, it will be a big breakthrough, after arriving in the Wei State, we will concentrate on investigating the whereabouts of this person, he has already appeared in the Western Desert King City, then there must be traces to follow, the secret stake of the Lu clan is difficult to find, but this Ling Xuan, relatively speaking, may be easier to be caught by the horse's feet." ”
Wu Neng and Tie had no opinion on Shi Cheng's proposal.
"By the way, Lao Wu, where is the location of your Yanmen?"
Wu Neng was stunned for a moment and replied: "It's Xiangling Island in Ellio Prefecture in the southwest of Wu Kingdom, why are you asking this, Lao Shi?" ”
"Southwest ...... of Wu Kingdom," Shi Cheng said, walking quickly to his luggage, and took a map of the world from it, on which the map depicted the Western Continent, the Western Eastern Continent, the Eastern Eastern Continent, the huge intercontinental forbidden area separating the east and west of the Eastern Continent, the Southern Wilderness, and the mist-shrouded secret sea sandwiched between the Eastern and Western Continents. The Union Khanate is located in the center of this map.
Shi Cheng pointed his finger to the Northern Rainforest Continent and said, "You see, if we follow the route planned for us by the Fruit Tree Chamber of Commerce, we have two roads to choose after leaving the North Rainforest Continent, one is to take the waterway from the port of Wu to Lingnan Prefecture, and the other is to go to the southwest of Wu by land, passing through Wu to Lingnan Prefecture, both routes will inevitably pass through the vicinity of Areu Prefecture. ”
"Shi Cheng, do you want to ......." Tie Mian had already seen the intention of Shi Cheng's words.
"That's right, I'm going to stop by the Yanmen ruins to have a look, if we can investigate the Yanmen extermination case back then, we may be able to find more clues related to the Lu clan."
Speaking of this, Shi Cheng looked at Wu Neng, "Old Wu, are you okay?" ”
Wu Neng took a deep breath, "I'm fine, I've been hiding for so long, it's time for me to take the responsibility back on my shoulders!" ”
The three of them agreed, and then discussed the general plan for the next month in Kenbin, and the sky gradually darkened.
When the sun was about to set, there was a knock on the door of Shi Cheng's house, and Wu Neng opened the door to find a tall and thin man dressed as a manor steward with two servants standing outside the door with a smile.
The tall and thin man is a cold moon man, his hair is combed very neatly, but his face is full of scum, his figure is powerful, and he actually has cultivation in his body, although he has only just entered the martial arts realm.
The two servants behind him were locals, and Shi Cheng noticed that all the rainforest people in the manor seemed to have bald heads, and he didn't know why.
"Hello Childe, I'm a guest of the Fruit Wood Chamber of Commerce, I'm Bukit Ze, the steward in charge of the area of Lake No. 3, and I'll be responsible for the needs of you and the other two guests staying here."
"Ah, it turned out to be a military officer, hello." Wu Neng and Wu Ji Ze saluted each other, "I have relied on your help this month, do you have anything to do here?" ”
"That's right, our owner heard that the distinguished guests of the Fruit Wood Chamber of Commerce had arrived, so he specially arranged a dinner party in the manor to wash the dust for you, and invited the three sons to enjoy the light."
Shi Cheng and Tie Mian also came over, and the three of them happened to be fine at the moment, plus there was a dinner party to rub on, so naturally they didn't shirk it.
Under the guidance of Wu Ji Ze, the group walked to the banquet building, Shi Cheng saw fertile fields along the way, passing by a fruit grove on the way, the forest and the field are full of Zhuang Ding who are working hard, these Zhuang Ding are all locals without exception, which makes Shi Cheng feel a little emotional, he can afford to hire so many people, the financial resources of this Lin family owner are a little beyond his imagination.
After bypassing an oil palm forest, a two-story building in the southern style of the Wei Kingdom emerged from the surrounding woods, the outside style of the building was low-key and simple, and the materials were exquisite, after entering the building, Shi Cheng felt that he had entered an antique world, and he felt as if he had come to the banquet room of a great nobleman in the dynastic era with a little understanding of the ancient history of the Eastern Continent.
Xu Fengshi and the others, who were already seated, saw that Shi Cheng and the three of them had also arrived, so they turned their heads and smiled and said hello, but Han De'a still had a lukewarm attitude, just nodded to the three of them.
Shi Cheng and the three of them were seated under the arrangement of Wu Jize, He Cai stood in the distance, discussing the recipe with a man dressed as a cook, the long dining table had already set up the tableware, and several bottles of fruit wine that had been opened were exuding a sweet aroma from the outside, and when they smelled it, they knew that it was the best wine in the manor.
After taking his seat, Shi Cheng looked around the entire banquet hall.
The design of the banquet hall also seemed to invite the monks from the sect to help, so Shi Cheng did not feel the hot and humid heat in this small building. There are several colored ink paintings hanging on the walls around them, these paintings are based on the life of the military camp as the theme, the background in the paintings is different, the level of the paintings seems to be very good, in a corner of the hall, there is a pair of Wei officer armor and a war knife that you can know at a glance that it is an imitation, the armor and scabbard are well maintained from the outside, I think this is also the item that the owner of the Lin family values more.
The appearance of the officer's armor still made Shi Cheng a little surprised, contrary to the law of the Alliance Khanate prohibiting swords, guns, bows, crossbows and crossbows, Wei was forbidden to ban armor and not banning swords, guns, bows and crossbows, although many states did not prohibit light armor such as cloth armor, but in general, the control of armor was relatively strict, but when he thought that this was the Northern Rainforest Continent, not the Wei State, Shi Cheng no longer felt strange in his heart.
Just when Shi Cheng was about to have a family with Xu Fengshi, the door of the house was opened, and an old man, accompanied by another man with a respectful look, walked into the hall of the banquet.
