Shandong Jinan Mansion, East Branch of Moxu Juzi Hall.

In a cluttered studio, all you can see is a mountain of mechanical debris, thick python-like cables coiled around the ceiling, and the surging electricity in it hums.

The body is no more than the size of a palm, the girl with her head tied to the bun is running in the machine mountain, the two short legs swing very quickly, jump down from the top of the machine mountain, volley forward, and land firmly on a head buried deep in the deep valley between the mountains.

"Uncle Zhao, look, my injuries have all healed, when can we go back to the Japanese district?"

Li Hua brushed away the weedy hair in front of her, poked out a little face full of anticipation, and shouted loudly at the master of the head.

"It's not the time yet."

Zhao Qingxia stopped what he was doing, took off the goggles on his face, wiped his oil-stained palms on his clothes casually, and then held them in front of him.

"Hey."

Li Hua, who was lying on his head, jumped down, pretended to slip his feet when he landed, and sat in Zhao Qingxia's palm.

"Uncle Zhao, it hurts!" Li Hua rubbed her ass and shouted with a wrinkled face.

Zhao Qingxia's face turned pale: "Where did you learn to open your eyes and talk nonsense, how can the projection hurt?" ”

"Then I don't care, if you don't let me go back to the Japanese district, I won't get up."

Li Hua lay on his back and eight forks in the palm of Zhao Qingxia's hand, rolling left and right, playing Laipi.

"Alright, when I finish the final strength test for you, if all the cracks are really all restored, I'll send you back."

"Really?"

Li Hua's tumbling body suddenly stopped, looked up at Zhao Qingxia's helpless smiling face, hurriedly got up, trotted along his arm, and swayed back and forth holding Zhao Qingxia's earlobe.

"I knew Uncle Zhao, you were the best for me."

"Don't be a sycophant with me, I'll send you back, but you have to promise me something."

"What's the matter?"

"After you, Uncle Zhao, and I help you build the new ink armor, you will have to give up your current Finger Tiger Body."

"Huh?" Li Hua's little face couldn't help but feel bitter when she heard this: "Then won't I be able to help Uncle Li fight in the future?" ”

"What do you want to fight like a girl all day long?"

Zhao Qingxia said angrily: "Besides, you Uncle Li don't need your help." ”

"That's not what I said, whether Uncle Li wants it or not is a matter of his strength, and whether I Li Hua helps or not is a matter of my attitude!"

Li Hua let go of Zhao Qingxia's earlobe, jumped on his shoulders, and hummed with his hands on his waist: "As the saying goes, dare to fight but don't dare to fight, you have to have enough temperament!" I can't let others laugh at us, there is only one Li Jun in our Li family, and there is no one else, right? ”

“.”

Zhao Qingxia's face turned black by Li Hua's words, and he said angrily: "Did you teach you by the ink riding whale?" How many times have I told you, it's okay to stay away from him! ”

"Uncle Whale is actually quite good"

Li Hua muttered in a low voice, but seeing that Zhao Qingxia seemed to be really angry, she lowered her head and replied sullenly: "I know." ”

At this moment, a crisp bell suddenly sounded in the room - this is a hint of projection access.

Li Hua looked at the figure projected in front of her, and immediately showed a well-behaved smile, and shouted sweetly: "Tian Ye, you are here." ”

"Well, our little flower is really polite. During this time, all the tasks in my hands were over, and I just had free time. When you come back to Tian Ye's studio, I will help you raise the grade of the ink armor, so as not to be bullied again in the future. ”

Li Hua tried her best to control the joy on her face, her small face was slightly sideways, and she secretly looked at Zhao Qingxia, who was standing respectfully and solemnly behind her, and saw that the other party's eyebrows were squeezing rapidly, so she agreed: "Thank you, Tian Ye." ”

"What's polite to you Tian Ye, okay, you're recovering from a serious injury, you should pay attention to resting more, you go back to Mojia first." I have something to say to you, Uncle Zhao. ”

Li Hua let out an 'oh', and jumped on the spot on Zhao Qingxia's workbench, like a land duke drilled into the ground, turning into a cloud of white smoke and disappearing without a trace.

"Where did this girl learn all these bells and whistles?" The projected figure laughed.

"Teacher."

Zhao Qingxia clasped his fists and held his hands in his fists, with special respect for the old man in front of him, who was only five feet tall and not good-looking.

Without him, the other party is the mentor he followed after entering the Ink Sequence Moment Hall, a master with a high reputation in the field of ink armor manufacturing and Ming ghost awakening, Tian Qi.

"Hmm."

Tian Ji looked kind and beckoned to Zhao Qingxia: "You and I, teachers and students, you don't need to be so formal, come, sit down and say." ”

For Zhao Qingxia, a student, Tian Ji is still very satisfied in his heart.

is not only because of the other party's excellent creative ability, but more importantly, Zhao Qingxia has no shortcomings in his character except for the occasional easy to get hot, and he listens to his own words very much.

Compared with his eldest disciple who persuaded him for a long time, but resolutely gave up his 'human' form and transformed himself into Mojia, it was like a heaven and a place.

"Teacher, if you have any orders, just let me go to your studio, I don't need to come here in person."

Looking at the chaotic environment in his studio, Zhao Qingxia scratched his head a little embarrassed.

"It's just a projection, where is it in person."

Tian Ji smiled gently, his eyes fell on Zhao Qingxia's workbench full of various weapon parts and manuscript paper, and quipped: "Are you still studying your mimic martial arts?" ”

"Teacher Hui, I have made a lot of substantive breakthroughs recently, and I just happened to report to you."

When it came to mimicry martial arts, Zhao Qingxia's eyes suddenly lit up, and he couldn't wait to say: "I have studied a lot of literature about martial arts injectors in the hall, and one of the articles from Nong Xu has inspired me a lot. As mentioned above, the use of the martial arts injector can be regarded as a 'planting' process in essence, by extracting the martial arts genes that have been cultivated to the Great Perfection realm to form a 'seed', and then injecting them into the recipient's body to complete the 'seeding', inducing the awakening of the silent genes, forming the prototype of this martial art, and finally completing the 'rooting and germination' through cultivation, you can complete the inheritance of a martial art."

"I have an idea, if I can develop a special martial art based on Wu Xu's ability to control his own genes, which can be used to replace the 'planting' effect of the injector, or to be precise, from a passive 'seed' to a more direct 'plunder', directly targeting a specific gene in the opponent's body that carries martial arts, then I can completely get rid of the limitations of the injector, so that Wu Xu can independently carry out the replenishment of himself."

Zhao Qingxia smiled, "However, there are still some difficulties that I have not been able to overcome for the time being, such as how to accurately capture specific martial arts genes, and how to eliminate the negative effects that some useless genes may have on the human body, etc., so this idea is still very immature." But if it can be realized, maybe mimesis will no longer be imitation, but replacement! ”

"You've done a good job of researching it from just a bunch of literature."

Tian Ji showed an appreciative look on his face: "When I realized that this possibility existed, I was almost forty years old. And I still stand on the shoulders of many seniors to have such an idea. If I had relied on myself, I would not have been able to figure it out until I was old. ”

"What do you mean, teacher?"

Zhao Qingxia was shocked when he heard this, and said with a stunned expression: "You have also studied martial arts injectors before. No, it's that many predecessors in the ink preface have studied it, right? ”

"Do you know where the first martial arts injector of the Ming Empire was born? This is where we have the eastern branch of Juzi Hall. ”

Tian Ji smiled and said to Zhao Qingxia, who was shocked: "At that time, the code name of this topic was named 'gluttony' by Lord Juzi at that time, and you, teacher, and I were one of the members of this topic team. ”

"In fact, at the very beginning, the research direction of 'gluttony' was to let Wu Xu master the genes he needed from people in the same order, or even other sequences, instead of using a complex carrier such as an injector. It's a pity that at that time, we also faced the same problem as you, that is, how to accurately capture the genes that carry martial arts in the body of Wu Xu. ”

"After our research, we found that in the instinct of Wu Xu, they do have a similar ability to perceive and suppress the opponent's martial arts genes, which they themselves call 'coercion' or 'momentum'."

"But this ability usually only exists when the upper position is against the lower position, such as a martial artist crushing a martial four. But in this case, the plunder itself has lost its meaning and has become a tasteless chicken rib. Do you think, what is the use of a martial artist who has already become a martial artist of the sect, what is the use of taking the martial arts of a martial artist of the fourth sect? ”

"Later, with the complete loss of power of Wu Xu, our Mo Xu was also seriously impacted, and topics like 'gluttony' became the best excuse for other sequences to target us."

"In order not to completely involve the entire ink order in the war, Lord Juzi at that time ordered the project to be terminated, and all relevant information was sealed at the highest level of 'festival burial'. And the martial arts injector you know now is actually just a substitute derived from this subject, and it is also our last help to Wu Xu. ”

Although Zhao Qingxia is also a member of Juzitang, it is the first time he knows such a secret.

However, his concern now is not whether he is qualified to listen to such secrets, but that the relevant 'gluttonous' topics have been banned by order, so can his research continue?

"I've warned you before that this road is dangerous."

Without waiting for Zhao Qingxia to speak, Tian Jian preemptively said: "This is even more true now, the three sects are in full swing, they don't want to see any changes in the situation in the martial order." Even if it's just a being, it's like a chicken rib 'gluttony'. So you should stop researching and focus your energy and talent on other topics of interest. ”

"But the teacher"

Zhao Qingxia wanted to say that this was his favorite research direction, but seeing the thick worry and imperceptible sadness in Tian Ji's eyes, he couldn't say anything about the rest of his words.

"Got it, teacher." Zhao Qingxia's expression was gloomy, and he replied in a muffled voice.

"By the way, since you have now chosen to be a craftsman instead of a ranger, the previous ink armor called Ma Wang Ye is not suitable for you. I'll go to the Ming Ghost Realm to find you another artifact Ming Ghost who is good at auxiliary research, which will be of great help to you to accumulate experience as soon as possible and break the lock and advance order. ”

"During this time, you should stay in the studio, carefully consider the direction of the topic you want to study next, and you are not allowed to leave the Eastern Branch for half a step until you are promoted to Mo Xuan VI."

After saying this, Tian Ji's figure disappeared into the room, leaving only Zhao Qingxia with a depressed face.

"Uncle Whale, what do you say will happen to Tian Ye looking for Uncle Zhao?"

Li Hua, who was supposed to go back to rest in the ink armor, was lying in the gap between the two huge armor pieces at the moment, the bangs covering her forehead were blown to the back of her head, and she was holding her chin with both hands, with a pensive expression.

"Where do I know where to go? But don't worry, girl, your Uncle Zhao is Tian Ye's favorite closed disciple, even if he makes any big mistakes, he will not be punished. ”

The ink whale rolled in the air, and its back skimmed against the cliff wall.

But such a thrilling action did not make the plum flower on his back laugh excitedly as before, and he couldn't help but wonder for a while.

"What's wrong with you, flower girl?"

"Uncle Whale, I'm a little homesick."

Li Hua rubbed a pair of reddened eyes, raised her hand and patted the armor of the ink riding whale: "Uncle Whale, you fly slowly, the wind squints." ”

Ink Riding Whale was obviously a little at a loss for this situation, and hurriedly slowed down and asked softly, "Homesick?" Is it the Ming Ghost Realm? I'll take you back now. ”

"Of course not, my home is in the Wa District."

As soon as Li Hua finished speaking, she hurriedly shook her head: "No, where the uncle is, the home is there." ”

"Then let's go, it's not too far, your Uncle Whale and I will arrive with a flick."

"But Tian Ye asked me to go to his studio, and I couldn't leave the Eastern Branch without his permission."

Li Hua had a faint cry in her voice: "I always feel that he doesn't want me to go back." ”

Mo Qi, who has always been full of anti-bones and has never put the ban on field weapons in his eyes, has been uncharacteristically silent at this time.

There are some situations that Li Hua and Zhao Qingxia don't know, but he knows.

The current Wa District is indeed not suitable for Li Hua to go back.

"Uncle Whale, I don't want to go for a ride, I'll go back."

In the cracks in the nails, the girl's figure flickered and slowly disappeared into the howling wind between the cliffs.

The Ink Rider was silent for a long time, and suddenly dialed a communication that had not been contacted for a long time.

"Brother Lewd, what are you doing? It's nothing, it's just that my brother misses you. ”

"Practical? Where are you killing people? Oh, it's not killing, it's what is it doing? ”

"Oh, I'm not looking for you to make small talk. Do I want to ask you if you need to do it with someone these days? If so, you can call me at any time. You know, I can't do it alone, but if you want to blow up a city, I'm right. ”

"What do you mean don't affect your class, can you not say it so ugly, and besides, what class do you have to take as a third-grade ink armor?"

"What, you've found the master? Lord, you bastard, do you want to eat alone? You wait for me, and I'll be in the Wa district right away! ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have summoned you here today because I have a good thing to tell you."

In the dream of Huangliang built in imitation of Wenyuan Pavilion, Liu Dian looked at the Xuanwei envoys of various cities sitting on both sides of the long table with a smile on his face.

"The current situation in the Wa District is not very friendly to us gate valve children, such as Brother Zhou, your Himeji Castle, Brother Zheng, your Kanazawa Castle."

Liu Dian looked sideways at Wang Changting, who was sitting next to him, and said with a smile: "By the way, there is also Brother Wang's Inuyama City." I heard that the brocade guards in these cities are not less to show you faces? ”

Several people who were named by Liu Dian snorted coldly in unison, and their faces were gloomy.

"Liu Dian, what do you mean, specifically let us come over to see how you laugh at us?"

Himeji Castle's consolation made Zhou Heyu frown, and looked at Liu Dian with an unkind gaze.

"Of course not, I, Liu Dian, am not the kind of villain who falls into the well. On the contrary, I'm here to give you charcoal today! ”

Unlike Wang Changting's expressionless face, Liu Dian was radiant at the moment, and his face was full of excitement of a person with lofty aspirations.

"Lord Xu knows everyone's difficulties, and he also perceives the danger of the Jinyi Weiwei in the Wa District, so my lord, he has specially formulated a policy based on the current situation in the Wa District, and it has been agreed by all the adults in the New Donglin Party."

Liu Dian raised his sleeves, and an official document stamped with the seal of Xuanwei in the Japanese District appeared in front of everyone.

[Decision on the Dismissal of Jinyiwei in the Wa District and the Simultaneous Departure Review]

It was just a cursory sweep, and the faces of the Xuanwei envoys around the long table changed suddenly, some were excited, some frowned, and some were like Wang Changting, their faces sank like water, and they were not moved at all.

Joys, sorrows, and sorrows are different.

Only no one cared why this kind of official document would be announced by Liu Dian in his own Huangliang dream, instead of directly sending it to the cities through the channels of the officials.

"It seems that Lord Xu has finally made up his mind to make a move against the Jinyi Guards in the Wa District? That's great! ”

Himeji Castle Zhou Heyu looked excited, and slammed his fist on the table.

"Your Excellency's plan is clearly written in the official document, so I don't need to interpret it again, right? What to do next, everyone just knows what to do. ”

Liu Dian stood up and clasped his fists at the colleagues in front of him: "I wish all my colleagues a smooth career and a bright future in advance!" ”

"Thank you, Brother Liu!"

Everyone returned the salute, but Wang Changting was still sitting in the chair without moving, his eyes glanced at Zhou Heyu, who had the loudest voice, and a deep ridicule and pity flashed in his eyes.
