Sui Buxiu sighed: "Actually, I'm thinking about it to this day. ”

"At the beginning, I was sent to the capital of the Son of Heaven to learn the formation, and after I completed the study, I was sent to Dangtu Mountain with several other people to ask us to build the Zhongzhou enchantment. As a result, you know, as soon as I got there, the Demon Beast Army attacked. I thought it was our bad luck, and then I learned that the formation division sent to Wanyou and Maitreya City was raided by the demon beast army - one died, and the other was captured. ”

"Brother Li, you say, how do the demon beasts know that we are there? How do you know who the formation master is? There must be spies. If you want to talk about how these cities are broken - or the demon beasts find a hidden path, or take advantage of the change of defense in the city to raid, in short, it is very strange. ”

The look on his face when he spoke did not seem to be fake, and Li Bochen breathed a sigh of relief. It's not that it's about Sui Buxiu itself, but if there is really a royal family who is fascinated by demons, it will be too troublesome.

It's just that Bi Hai said that the demon beasts raided the Infinite City and robbed Sui Buxiu in order to communicate with this side, was Bi Hai telling a lie? Or was this something they wanted to do easily?

He wanted to ask Sui Buxiu what that Princess Zhenluo had said when she invaded his divine consciousness that day. But after thinking about it, I still gave up - although I and Sui Buzhi seem to be in harmony now, it is just the situation. In Sui's heart, he should be defensive against himself.

He said: "I'm a little worried about Kong Minghui. These days, I have met two people who have been resurrected with the flesh and blood of demon beasts, turning into half-human and half-demon monsters, and they are both methods given by the people of the Kongming Society. ”

But Sui Buxiu was not surprised, and only said, "Brother Li, I will also tell you something." ”

lowered his voice a little more: "This is nothing strange, the Kong Ming Society has always been in contact with the Demon Kingdom, and the Demon Kingdom also has the Kong Ming Society." ”

Li Bochen was stunned for a moment—he originally thought that refining demons was very disgraceful, but listening to this tone, did Sui Buxiu already know? No...... Do the five royal families know about it?

Sui Buxiu said again: "I heard about this when I was in the capital of the Son of Heaven. You see, we are good at magic and mechanisms, and the Rakshasa and Sumeru of the Demon Kingdom only know some innate spells, which are inferior to us. The reason why it is so powerful is because of the demon beast. ”

"If there is a means that we can also create demon beasts, then the advantage of the demon kingdom will be gone, so everyone thinks of this method. Are you worried that Kong Ming will ventilate the news? I don't think it's so much -- this is mainly done by Gao Tianzi, through the Kong Ming Society, looking for opportunities in various places. What is the benefit of the people of the High Heavenly Son who are connected to the Demon Kingdom? They will not run to the Demon Kingdom to be the supreme lord. ”

Li Bochen thought the same thing before. He didn't know if Sui Buxiu was right, but if it wasn't for the Kong Ming Society, who else could it be?

And also...... Gao Tianzi wants to turn people into demon beasts to deal with demon beasts? Isn't he afraid of backlashing against them!? You must know that your body is fused with demon flesh and blood, and when you enter the realm, you will attract the incarnation of the demon lord. By the way, what about Sui Buxiu?

Never mind. Sui Buxiu is a royal family and has a lot of knowledge. Since you know about the matter of Gao Tianzi, you should also know about the Demon Tribulation.

He had no choice but to say, "Well, maybe I'm too careful." But I think it's better to look it up. ”

Sui Buzhi thought about it and said, "Okay." Brother Li, wait until I go back to tell my father and ask him what he thinks. ”

Li Bochen's words just now were just casual remarks, but he didn't expect Sui Buxiu to agree so solemnly. He thought for a moment and realized that it was because of who he was now. When they talked about Zhu Hou last night, Chang Xiu and Chang Qiuwu responded very seriously, and when they talked about it today, Sui Buxiu also attached great importance to it. What did the prince do is really different, he would have been laughed at before, but now he has to think about it seriously.

At this time, a few old men who were talking to Chang Xiu over there said goodbye and left, and Sui Buxiu said, "Brother Li, I'll go and say a few words to your grandfather." ”

Li Bochen said: "Okay." ”

Sui Buxiu walked over slowly.

I had been putting food for a while, but I had only received thirty or forty people. Li Bochen saw the black and oppressive people not far away, and he didn't know if he could receive it when it was dark. Chang Qiuwu is a cultivator, so he doesn't feel tired, but he deliberately asked him to do it alone for so long, so that these villagers can be more impressed by today's events? Or at this time, gathering people together and asking them to talk and laugh with each other can also reduce some panic.

He looked left and right again, and felt that he couldn't just stand still. It's just stupid. He also wanted to go up the mountain and down to carry grain. He was just about to move, but he saw a man glaring at him and walking quickly.

The man was about thirty years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a round face, a white birth, and a satin robe with dark patterns of blessing characters, and he looked like he should be from a wealthy family. But seeing him like this, Li Bochen's heart still jumped--what is this person going to do? Is he what he said about the two sentences he heard before? Aren't you going to assassinate me here?!

In a flash of thought, the man had come up to him and stood down. But he stood still, but he didn't speak, just staring at Li Bochen.

Li Bochen also glared at him, and after a while, the man said, "This...... This ......"

Li Bochen was stunned. When I saw him just now, I thought he was angry. But now that he said these words, his tone seemed a little cramped, as if he himself regretted coming over like this. The first time Li Bochen met this kind of person, he frowned and said, "Brother Tai, what's the matter?"

But the man said, "This ...... This ......"

Li Bochen thought about it again and said, "...... What's the grievance?"

The man waved his hand and said, "No, no." ”

This person can't be a fool, right? Li Bochen turned his face to look at Chang Qiuwu, and wanted to ask him if he recognized this person, but Chang Qiuwu was keeping accounts, and he couldn't tell the difference.

He turned his face and was about to speak again, when he heard the man say, "That iron belt!"

Li Bochen was stunned: "Huh?"

"That, the iron belt of the car outside!"

Li Bochen thought about it again and realized that he was talking about the tracks of the armored car. But a thought popped into his mind, and he said, "Are you Mr. Meng?"

The man seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and said, "Yes." ”

Li Bochen also breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Oh, Mr. Meng, you have something to do with me? ”

He turned and walked to the other side of the old locust tree, and the man followed. There was no one around, and there was no noise, and the man seemed to relax immediately. He raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead and said, "Ah, meet the prince." ”

This person should be Meng Peiyong. Meng Niangzi said that her husband had done some tricks when he was young, and after Zhu Hou came, he recruited him to the mountain to be the owner of the art hall. Li Bochen originally thought that this person was also from a famous family, and he became an "official" under Zhu Hou, so he should be the kind of person who looks shrewd and capable. But now that I look at it, it seems to be a little ...... Don't understand the world?

But it's only a few words, and it's not easy to judge. Li Bochen arched his hand and said, "Mr. Meng is polite - did Mr. ask me about the tracks of the armored car?"

Meng Yongyong was stunned and said, "Oh...... Is that called a track?"

looked at Li Bochen again: "How did you come up with that thing?"

It was Li Bochen's turn to be stunned for a moment—how did he know that he had made that thing by himself? But then he thought that he had told Chang Xiu and Chang Qiuwu about it yesterday. Could it be that they released the news? Then when they were still asleep in bed today, they really did a lot of things—they wanted to make these people think that they were brave and clever as princes.

Li Bochen smiled: "Suddenly there was a flash of inspiration." Actually, I don't know much about mechanics - Mr. Meng should know better. ”

Meng Peiyong said: "Well, I know a little. ”

After saying this, he coughed twice, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped. Li Bochen said in his heart, Meng Niangzi is hot and capable, but her husband is a different look, and it is also interesting. He actually doesn't like to talk very much, but for the sake of Meng Niangzi, he still said patiently: "What is the matter with Mr. Meng? I don't think I can help." ”

Meng Peiyong then said: "Ah, the prince. This, this...... This art hall on the mountain, it's a good thing. This one...... Zhu Hou is dead, so ...... that art hall is it"

Li Bochen said in his heart, it turned out to be for this. When Zhu Hou was there, he set up a magic hall based on the art in the city and asked him to serve. Now that Zhu Hou has fallen, does this person still want to continue to be the owner of the art hall?

But the art hall and the art science are two different things. As far as he knew, the art in the city was taught and learned not only by tricks and talismans, but also by other supporting theories. In Li Bochen's view, some of them are already relatively in-depth "mathematics". Zhu Hou sealed a bunch of generals, commanders, and commanders on the mountain, all of which were jokes. Although Meng Peiyong said that "he did some tricks when he was young", Li Bochen estimated that it should be just the craftsmanship of some folk craftsmen. He is not Zhu Hou, and he will never make something superficial in order to live the addiction of a great general.

was about to coax this person away with a gentle word, but he thought of Meng Niangzi again. After thinking about it for a while, he sighed in his heart and said, okay. To do things, there must be a law, and there must be human affection. For her sake, if this person's request is not excessive, she will still ask him to be the owner of the bare-pole hall and do some craftsmanship by himself.

But I have to mention a few words. Although this person looked at Mu Ne, since he was a bit of an official fan, he couldn't be asked to do anything out of the ordinary.

He said, "Oh, that's it." Mr. Meng, huh...... Speaking of the technique of mechanism, since you are also interested in the armor car, why don't you talk about any ways to improve it?"

When he was studying Zhangcheng magic, Sui Ziang once asked this, but he didn't think that he would embarrass others now.

Meng Peiyong immediately said: "Oh, yes, yes, I just want to say this-I have seen them practice wearing that armor car before, but it is really inconvenient. Oh, Prince, it's not that the track is inflexible, it's that the crossbow arrow is too inflexible. ”

That's true. On that day, he called two armored carts to lie down, and they had nothing to do. But if you can do it as you come from, the bolt can spin freely, and maybe you can stop yourself again. However, the armor car was used as a barrier to demon beasts in the northern plains from the beginning, and no one really thought of using it as the main battle force.

Li Bochen thought about this, looked at the crowd in the distance again, and said in his heart, Meng Niangzi should also come, right? Maybe he will be called away after a while. He casually replied, "Yes." It's best to change it. ”

Meng Peiyong's eyes lit up, and he said, "Yes, Junhou, it's better to change it to something that can be turned-rest on the top of the armored car." You see, I saw that there were three bed crossbows in that armored car, but it was actually useless, so it was better to change it to one, make it bigger, put it on the top, and put on the iron armor outside, so that it would not be bad. That crossbow is so big that it can shoot not only arrows, but even fire oil cans!"

Li Bochen said: "Mm-hmm, yes. Okay, Mr. Meng—huh?"

Where did this man come from!?

Li Bochen turned his face and looked at him carefully, and couldn't help but say, "Mr. Meng, that armor car has five pairs of load-bearing wheels. ”

Meng Peiyong was stunned: "Huh?"

Li Bochen breathed a sigh of relief, a little disappointed in his heart. But then he smiled and realized that he was overthinking. At this time, he felt a little ashamed of his previous contempt. No matter what this person's attainments in the art of the organ are, but since he can think of this, it can be seen that he usually puts a lot of effort into it, and if he wants to keep the art hall, it should not be purely for "being an official" as he speculated before.

Then he said: "Mr. Meng, I'm sorry, I was negligent before." Can you tell me what else you have in mind other than the armor car? I mean mechanical. ”

Speaking of these, Meng Peiyou was not cramped, and immediately said: "Naturally." Prince, I have made many small things in the past. For example, there is a clothes tube - the tube holds water, and by pushing the lever, it can do the laundry by itself. But I can only wash cloth clothes, and I can't wash some fine materials. There is also a drum box - there are a few silk and bamboo instruments hidden in the box, and by moving the lever, it can play music by itself. There are also some night guards, wooden pack horses, etc., which are made for my wife, but she doesn't use them much. ”

Speaking of this, he should have relaxed a lot, smiled, and said, "Actually, I still want to make something else." For example, the birds - everything I make has to be made by manpower, and the birds will not be successful. But if I had the skill to learn, wouldn't I be able to fly on my own? ”

Li Bochen said in his heart, it's not so simple to make flying things. The heart can provide power, but you have to think about something like aerodynamics. However, when he heard this, he already knew that Meng Peiyou was a very thoughtful person with a very active mind - this was the rarest.

He came to this realm, and if he thought that the people here were the most different from the people who came here, it was the mind. They don't have a lot of brains. It's not that they're stupid, it's that there's a lot less whimsy. After all, in such a world, things such as respect and humility and ethics have restricted the vast majority of ordinary people to death, and it is only in the art of Zhangcheng that some unusual intimacy can be experienced.

It seems that Meng Peiyou really doesn't know how to learn things, but those things can be learned, but he can't learn these ideas. Li Bochen couldn't help but say in his heart, if this Mr. Meng really learns those techniques again, I'm afraid he will be a great talent!
