At that moment, Mo Hanshan strode to a wall in the stone chamber, fiddled with the stone wall, and then listened to the buzzing above his head, and opened a secret door on the top of the stone chamber, and fell a wooden ladder from the secret door. Mo Hanshan stepped straight onto the wooden ladder and beckoned Xie Yixiang and De Yizi to go with him. Xie Yixiang's heart was quiet, he had heard the disciples of the Mo family mention it before, saying that this ink tower is divided into ten floors, and this is already the highest layer of "love", but unexpectedly, above this tenth layer, there is actually another space.

Deyizi immediately stepped on the wooden ladder without saying a word, Xie Yixiang hurriedly followed behind him, and after walking the entire wooden ladder, the secret door turned into a stone ladder going up. The three of them climbed along the stone ladder, but in a moment, the Mohan Mountain in front of them had pushed open another secret door above their heads, which suddenly made the three of them light up, but they went up to a huge space, and Xie Yixiang was speechless.

It turns out that the place where the tenth layer of "and love" is located, only to the height of more than half of the whole ink tower, on the top of the "and love" stone chamber, there is clearly more than 20 zhang high space, but it is all hollowed out in the middle of the mountain, showing the shape of a cylinder. When you look up, the top of the space is wide open, like the mouth of a volcano. There are about ten zhang square, so that the moonlight directly reveals in, reflecting a copper pillar with a diameter of about one zhang in this space, which is completely poured with cooked copper, and is erected and extends up to the vicinity of the valley mouth. And around this copper pillar, every few zhang distance, a series of platforms are built with wooden boards, and all kinds of mechanical instruments are placed on the platform, most of which are things that Xie Yixiang has never heard of and seen, which is really breathtaking.

And on the four walls of this space, there are spiral walkways carved out of the stone walls, and there are only a few gaps wide between the wooden platforms built on the copper pillars in the middle. Mo Hanshan stepped on the aisle, led Xie Yixiang and Deyizi to the top of this space, and introduced as he walked: "The so-called 'Ten Layers of Mota' refers to the ten layers that exist in the human world, and above the human world, there is still the 'Heavenly Realm'. Therefore, this is the heavenly realm in the Mo Tower, and it is also called the 'Heaven Outside the Heavens' by the giants of the Mo family in the Tianshan Mountains. ”

Xie Yixiang carefully looked at these mechanisms and equipment along the way, including not only those that looked like siege chariots, but also those that looked like artillery crossbow arrows, and many of which she couldn't say at all, so she couldn't help but blurt out: "The Mo family has such an ingenious mechanism information technique, why ...... Why have I never seen these instruments? Please don't blame the head of Hanshan, I mean, why haven't these Mo family information techniques been passed down to the world to benefit the people?"

I only heard Mo Hanshan in front of him sigh and said lightly: "The things of the world are a double-edged sword, but the advantages and disadvantages coexist, and the blessings and disasters depend on each other. Although the information skills of the Tianshan Mo family are not bad, and they can even be regarded as the first in the world, if these instruments are put into the world, with the virtue of the people in the world, I am afraid that they may not be used for good deeds, and they will also be transformed according to the principles to produce dangerous killing weapons, which is contrary to the Mohist family's purpose of 'love and non-attack'. Therefore, we are extremely cautious about this, and every time we design a new mechanism, we have to go through repeated deductions and confirm that it cannot be used on the battlefield before we can pass it on to the world. ”

Xie Yixiang thought so, and couldn't help nodding and said: "Yes, although there are many good people in the world, there are more people like Yan Sidao, who will do whatever it takes to pursue their own selfish desires, and don't care about the lives of others at all." If these devices are allowed to circulate in the meantime, the consequences will indeed outweigh the benefits, and more people will die as a result. ”

Deichiko's body had recovered a lot at this time, and when he heard the conversation between the two, he yawned listlessly, and said with disdain: "The benefits of utensils are used by people after all, even if they are used for war, they can't play a big role." Because the purpose of any war in the past and present has been to enable the two sides to sit down and negotiate peace, and if the peace talks fail, then they will continue to fight again until they can negotiate peace. So in the end, every battle is still a confrontation between people, and what is needed is a shameless person like that guy, not these mechanical devices. ”

Xie Yixiang was speechless when she heard this, and then remembered that Mo Hanshan had decided to give up this ink tower, causing the entire Tianshan Mo family to retire to the rivers and lakes, and I was afraid that these instruments would also be destroyed, and I couldn't help but feel a little sorry. Then the three of them walked along the aisle to the end, and came to the valley mouth at the top of this "sky outside the sky", Xie Yixiang found that there were several huge oilcloths near the valley mouth, thinking that they were used to cover the valley mouth in rainy and snowy weather.

Mo Hanshan had stopped at this time, and on the opposite side was a wooden platform at the top of the copper pillar. He stretched out his hand and pointed to a machine on the platform and said, "This is the thing, it is enough for Miss Xie San and this little brother to travel in the sky, if you are lucky enough, it will only take you three or five days at most, and you can fly back to Jinling." The first master of the Mo family once gave it a name, calling it 'Tianxing'. ”

Xie Yixiang hurriedly looked at it, only to see that on the platform was a square bamboo basket four feet square, about one person high, barely allowing two people to stand in it. In the middle of the bamboo basket, there is also an iron cylinder the size of a bowl, which sticks out of the height of the bamboo basket five or six feet. In addition, there are eight thick ropes attached to the four corners and sides of this bamboo basket, which are connected to the large mass of cloth next to it, which is vaguely made of silk and silver thread, and is now rolled into a ball and hanging on the ground. Xie Yixiang couldn't understand the principle, and couldn't help asking: "'Tianxing'......?" How can this thing fly?"

Before Mo Hanshan could answer, he sneered: "Haven't you seen the 'Kong Ming Lantern'?" Mo Hanshan was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "Little brother has such great eyesight. As he spoke, he jumped onto the platform, pointed to the one-person bamboo basket and said, "Little brother is right, this 'Tianxing' is the same principle as Kong Ming lanterns. In the lower half of this bamboo basket, there is black oil produced in the swamps of the Western Regions, which is very easy to burn in case of fire. As long as the mechanism on the iron cylinder in the bamboo basket is twisted, the black oil will be sprayed out of the barrel mouth, and then ignited at the barrel mouth, a flame will be sprayed upward, and then a strong heat will be generated. Under the action of this heat, the large piece of silk cloth connected by the rope will bulge into a hemispherical shape directly above the bamboo basket, and rise into the air with the bamboo basket below. ”

Xie Yixiang suddenly realized that of course she had seen Kong Ming lanterns, since this so-called "Tianxing" was the same principle as Kong Ming lanterns, it was equivalent to a Kong Ming lantern magnified dozens of times, and it was indeed possible to carry people into the air. She asked again: "It's not difficult to take off like this, but how can we make it fly all the way back to Jinling?" Mo Hanshan smiled: "Of course, it can only rely on the wind." It is the cold winter season at the moment, and the northwest wind is blowing in the north vein of the Tianshan Mountains, as long as the 'Tianxing' is activated to rise to mid-air, it can fly out to the southeast under the action of the northwest wind. Referring to the wind speed of these days, its speed is more than ten times that of a galloping horse. ”

After that, Mo Hanshan told Xie Yixiang and De Yizi in detail the essentials of the control, and added: "If you can always meet the help of the northwest wind, it is the best." However, if there is no wind in the sky, or if there is other wind direction, then you need to adjust the flight altitude of the 'Sky Walker'. You must know that the air flow in the air is extremely complicated, the northwest wind is obviously blowing on the ground, but it is possible that the opposite southeast wind is blowing in mid-air, and if it rises higher, it may be another wind direction. As long as you adjust the mechanism on the cylinder, you can control the amount of black oil that is spewed out from the mouth of the cylinder - the more you spray, the greater the heat generated during combustion, so that the 'Tianxing' will continue to rise, and the less you spray, the less heat will be generated during combustion, and the lower the 'Tianxing' will be - so that until the 'Tianxing' is at the height of the northwest wind, you can ensure that you keep flying in the southeast direction. ”

Xie Yixiang was already very smart, but she had mastered the essentials in a moment. Then Mo Hanshan clapped his hands, and two white-headed and erect disciples of the Mo family appeared in front of the three of them, and they didn't know where they came from. I saw that these two predecessors of the Mo family saluted Mo Hanshan slightly, did not speak, and jumped on the platform one after another to fiddle with this "Tianxing", obviously to prepare for the next flight. Within a moment, one of the Mo family seniors also clapped his hands, and then heard a sound of heavy footsteps, and another "person" walked down the aisle from below, which immediately stunned Xie Yixiang.

It turned out that this "person" summoned by the predecessor of the Mo family clapped his hands, and his whole body was actually made of large and small wooden blocks, and although the structure of his limbs and body was not much different from that of ordinary people, there was no head on his neck, and it was clearly a dummy made by an organ.
