Chapter 12: The Fire Ox
Early the next morning, when Leng Qianqiu woke up to the courtyard, the scene in front of him made this peerless master stunned for a while.
The big tree that was split by his sword last night was now cut into an unknown number of pieces of wood, and it was scattered in the courtyard, and there was a half-assembled thing in the courtyard, Leng Qianqiu couldn't see what it was, it seemed to be a strange-shaped big box, and there were many things next to the box that were obviously just made of wood gears and other things.
Ning Wushu sat in the sawdust on the ground, with some messy tools around her, there were more than a dozen knives of all kinds alone, at this time she was holding a small piece of wood in her left hand, holding a small blade in her right hand, and she was concentrating on cutting quickly on the wood. In her hand, the blade fluttered up and down like a butterfly.
Soon, in the splash of sawdust, Ning Wushu cut a piece of wood into the shape he wanted, and then did not stop for a moment, and immediately picked up another piece of wood from the side, replaced it with a knife, and started a new round of handiwork. Leng Qianqiu knew that Ning Wushu was obviously making the parts of the mechanism, and he wanted to take a look at this exquisite mechanism, but Ning Wushu started very quickly, and each part was taken out separately, and he couldn't see anything special at all, and the strange appearance made Leng Qianqiu scratch his head, just looking at the more and more small parts around her, it looked very powerful.
At this time, Ning Wushu finished making a small part again, she put down the things in her hand, raised her head and glanced at Leng Qianqiu, and said with a sly smile: "Leng Daxia, don't look at it, there is a specialization in the art industry, you can't learn it." ”
"Mechanics is indeed an esoteric science. Leng Qianqiu nodded very calmly, pointed to the big box and the parts of the place, and asked, "Can you tell me, what are you doing?"
"Fire Bull. Ning Wushu said, stood up, patted the dust and sawdust on his clothes, "Originally, for me, I didn't like to use fire very much, and the trick is exquisite, but the use of fire is too rough." It's just that this time it's a little different, there are many people on the other side, and if you want to use the most effortless way to achieve your goal, I can only do something I don't like. ”
As she spoke, she walked over to the strangely shaped wooden box and continued: "This is the torso of the fire bull, I will fill it with some flammable things, and when the time comes, this fire bull will be three times faster and five times stronger than the real brute bull, and with the flames, ordinary people will not be able to resist it." By tonight, it shouldn't be a problem for me to make three or five fire cows, but I'll have to trouble Leng Daxia to help get some food. ”
"Small meaning. Leng Qianqiu nodded, watching Ning Wushu sit back and start fiddling with those tools, there was still some curiosity in his eyes. However, the identity of a peerless powerhouse finally kept him proud, and he didn't step forward and squat to Ning Wushu's side to observe carefully.
After more than an hour, the assembly of the first machine cow has been basically completed, but it is just an outline, looking at Ning Wushu's appearance, there are many small mechanisms to be filled inside. But think about it, to make such a wood move on its own, of course, it can't be just a look, there are many complicated things. Leng Qianqiu looked at it for more than an hour, but he still didn't see the reason, he just felt that those small parts that he couldn't understand what it was, as if they were put on this wooden cow, they became a natural part, and they fit seamlessly.
So, he could only sigh that the world was so big and there were no wonders, and then he touched his empty stomach, no longer stared at Ning Wushu, who was making the machine, and went out to look for food.
Seeing Leng Qianqiu leaving, Ning Wushu's hand also stopped.
"Leng Qianqiu Leng Hero...... You're really a powerful character, and you don't seem to be a bad person, but everyone's position is different, and if you want to grab the list, I have to stand up to you. Ning Wushu sighed, reached out and picked up a slightly larger mechanism part placed at his feet, and with a light press in a certain position, the part opened by itself like a box, revealing a black thing inside, which was a tarpaulin package.
Ning Wushu took out the package, walked over to the assembled wooden cow, and half of his body poked into the hollow torso of the wooden cow, and pounded it, making the sound of the machine colliding and the gear turning......
Hurry up, hurry up and finish this matter, and I can go to my mother's house." Ning Wushu leaned out of the wooden cow, wiped his sweat, and let out a long breath.
Busy time always flies quickly, and when Ning Wushu finished making five machine cows, the whole day is over. Leng Qianqiu dragged a wild goat from the forest, and there were no scars visible from the surface, but he vomited blood and died, probably slapping him to death. Leng Qianqiu set up a wooden shelf in the courtyard at random, turned out an iron pot from the house to boil water, skillfully skinned the goat, cut it into meat pieces, and cooked a large pot of mutton soup. The two of them sat in the sawdust and broken wood pieces all over the ground, eating meat heavily, and Leng Qianqiu got a lot of wine out of nowhere, and drank it from jar to jar.
"Drink?" Leng Qianqiu saw that Ning Wushu couldn't put down a bowl of hot soup, so he pushed over a wine jar. Ning Wushu smiled and waved his hand: "That's it, the amount of alcohol in the junior brother is not good, and I have to debug these trap cattle for a while, so I won't drink it." ”
Leng Qianqiu listened, but he didn't care, and continued to eat meat and drink wine by himself. His gaze lingered on the trap ox placed on the side for a moment, and then he suddenly said, "Wait a minute, you can light a fire ox and show me." ”
"Huh?" Ning Wushu was stunned for a moment and said, "Leng Daxia, we only have five fire cows, and one less is one to burn." ”
"It doesn't matter. Leng Qianqiu said bluntly: "I'm afraid that you will do something inside, it's better to take a look." ”
"Uh...... Leng Daxia is really frank......" Ning Wushu was a little embarrassed, and smiled reluctantly: "Then you say burn it, it doesn't matter if you have one less." I'll burn it for you after eating. ”
After the two of them were full of wine and food, Ning Wushu stood up, walked to the edge of a trap cow, groped around it for a while, and the trap cow walked slowly in front of Leng Qianqiu. So Ning Wushu explained: "I put flint and steel and a small amount of gunpowder in the body of this cow, it doesn't matter if it walks slowly, but once it runs, the flint in the body will ignite the gunpowder, and the gunpowder will explode, burning the flammable material I filled in its body, and the whole cow will burn brightly, but it will not stop immediately, I estimate that after it burns, it can still run a pillar of incense." I haven't done this kind of fire bull before, I came up with it on the spot, but I've done something more complicated than this, so I shouldn't have a problem. ”
Seeing that Leng Qianqiu nodded and signaled that he could start, Ning Wushu took the trap ox to the grove outside the courtyard, and said: "Leng Daxia, we'd better prepare some water, it's not far from Yancheng, if the fire ox burns the woods, it may attract people." ”
Soon, the two of them filled several buckets of well water, and Ning Wushu groped around the trap cow a few more times, Leng Qianqiu couldn't understand what she was touching at all, only knew that she should have pressed a few traps.
Sure enough, when Ning Wushu finished groping for this trap cow, he immediately took two steps back, and the trap cow had already begun to make the sound of the machine turning wildly, and there was no process of accumulating strength at all, so he rushed out directly.
Leng Qianqiu's eyes lit up, and he saw that this organ ox was indeed as Ning Wushu said, the speed of the sprint was more than three times faster than that of an ordinary ox, it was like a gust of wind, accompanied by the huge sound of the gear machine, and the moment he ran out, he hit a small tree with a thick bowl mouth a few zhang away.
The small tree had no resistance at all, and it broke off on the spot, and the Trap Ox continued to sprint, and soon heard some explosions in its body, and then began to spew fire from the joints of its body, and the flames quickly swept the entire cow, and the Trap Ox really turned into a fire cow and continued to sprint.
Interestingly, this bull also crashes into some large trees, but whenever it hits a large tree and stops, it does not stop, but can adjust its direction, slow down slightly, and immediately start sprinting in another direction. The fire ox with the blazing fire pulled a small wall of fire in the meadow of the woods, and many bushes were burned as a result.
Leng Qianqiu watched this fire ox go on a rampage, gradually and slowly being burned, and its running speed slowed down, and then gradually turned into a large mass of black charcoal, and his heart was very shocked. He didn't expect that this Xuanyuan Jinyu's mechanism technique was so powerful, there is a saying in the ancient art of war that the fire ox array, the ancients set the tail of a large group of cattle on fire, rushed into the enemy formation, and could break thousands of troops and horses, and this person took one day to make five more powerful, real fire oxen. If he was given time, it would probably not be a problem for this person to run rampant in the world with just this mobile technique, right? Leng Qianqiu believed that if these few fire bulls really rushed into the hundreds of fish and dragon guards, they would be able to easily scatter them, and they would also be able to kill and burn many people, and they might even be more damaging than the damage caused by him rushing in with a sword to kill for a while.
"It's on fire, it's on fire, hurry up!" Just as Leng Qianqiu was pondering, Ning Wushu had already rushed up with two buckets and began to fight to extinguish the flames. Leng Qianqiu looked at her with a frown, not knowing what she was thinking.
At the same time, in an open space outside Yancheng, a small team of fish dragon guards, under the personal leadership of Xiao Lianghui, buried some small wooden balls in the dirt of the clearing.
Xiao Lianghui also held a small wooden ball in his hand and played with it, and said to his subordinates on the side with great interest: "This Xuanyuan Jinyu really has some ability, just such a gadget, buried in the ground, as soon as a person steps on it, he will stretch out a hook to hook the person's foot, making people unable to move, I really dare not be in such a small ball What a complicated mechanism." ”
The subordinate said flatteringly: "What's more, at that time, the Xuanyuan prince also said that some small balls are fixed to hold people, and some small balls can explode thistles, if you want, you can also fill gunpowder into it, then Leng Qianqiu will come here tomorrow, don't think about going out." This time, Lord Xiao, will definitely be able to make a great contribution!"
Xiao Lianghui said lightly: "Leng Qianqiu is a super-first-class master in the rivers and lakes, although these gadgets are powerful, they can't kill him, don't be careless." Also, do a good job of concealing the markings, so that your own brothers don't step on them. ”
"Yes!" his men straightened up and walked away.
Xiao Lianghui looked up at the galaxy in the sky, and sighed to himself: "Xuanyuan Jinyu, I'm really more and more interested in you. I have a hunch that if you are used by Xiao, it will be easy for me to climb to the position of the pacification envoy next year. I really hope that you don't engage in small tricks, and tomorrow you can help Xiao kill Leng Qianqiu with peace of mind. ”
