Chapter Forty-Nine: The Great Craftsman Makes the Surname Wang Mingsheng
Although the country is big, the belligerent will perish, and although the world is peaceful, forgetting the war will be dangerous.
The predecessors have exhausted the truth, but how can it be regarded as "belligerent", no one can say, and now the Daqi court raises nearly two million soldiers, is it considered "belligerent"?
The predecessors also said that "the upper part does not play with the army, the lower does not abolish the military, and the survival does not forget the death, it is to be safe and the country can be protected", the two successive generations of emperors of the Great Qi have attached great importance to the Tianji Pavilion, and did not hesitate to invest a large amount of money, resulting in the overspending of the treasury year after year, so that the relief of the victims had to let Xiao Bai, the king of Qi, go to the south of the Yangtze River to raise money and grain, is it considered "playing with soldiers"?
Xu Beiyou, as half a businessman and half a person in the temple, wanted to see what kind of scene this military town that Li Yanliang laughed at and said was piled up with silver.
However, when he first entered the city, Xu Beiyou was slightly disappointed, because at first glance, this is an ordinary city, except for a little deserted, whether it is houses or streets, it is not much different from other prefectures in Shaanxi.
Although Xu Beiyou did a good job of covering up this disappointment, Li Yanliang had already learned about this and took the initiative to explain: "After all, it is a government city, and it can't all be craftsmen's workshops. ”
Xu Beiyou asked curiously, "Where is the master craftsman of the Heavenly Machine Pavilion?"
Li Yanliang pointed to the north and said: "All kinds of workshops are also divided into three, six, nine and other classes, and the workshop where the master craftsman is located is naturally the first class, and it has always been a forbidden place. ”
Xu Beiyou sighed, but he wasn't too surprised.
After the establishment of the Great Qi Dynasty, Emperor Xiao did not forget this great hero, not only the pavilion master Lan Yu ranked first among the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, but Tianji Pavilion was also vigorously supported by the imperial court, asking for money to give money, asking people to give people, sweeping away the decline in the last years of Dazheng, becoming a behemoth second only to the "Three Religions".
According to the reason, Lan Yu and Han Xuan are in the temple, and Tianji Pavilion is undoubtedly Lan Yu's back house, Xu Beiyou, as Han Xuan's righteous son, should not go to the territory of Tianji Pavilion to "make waves" anyway, but Xu Beiyou is really too curious about this special sect, plus Han Xuan also said that Xu Beiyou doesn't have to care too much about the temple battle between the two, so he still decided to come here to have a look.
Xu Beiyou followed Li Yanliang all the way, and the checks encountered on the road this time were obviously much stricter, but with Zhang Wu's warrant, he was still unimpeded all the way, and he was stopped before he came to a small black and white inconspicuous building, because the guards here were no longer the armor soldiers of the Northwest Army, but became the disciples of Tianji Pavilion.

Li Yanliang took out a handwritten handwritten letter from Zhang Wuxian and stepped forward to negotiate, while Xu Beiyou stood aside and stared at the building, frowning slightly. He naturally knew that this inconspicuous building was definitely not where the Tianji Pavilion workshop was, and with his divine soul perception, the real workshop should be under the ground, but there was a formation running here, and Xu Beiyou was not a Taoist who was good at the way of the divine soul, so he couldn't get a glimpse of the whole picture.
After some negotiations, Li Yanliang and Xu Beiyou were able to enter this building, while the others stayed outside, several disciples of Tianji Pavilion looked curiously at Xu Beiyou, who was dressed in brocade clothes, and secretly guessed in their hearts how this person came from, how could he make a promising cavalry commander so respectful, but he had never heard of such a young commander in the army, could it be that he was a disciple of the clan?
Li Yanliang obviously did not come here for the first time, and took Xu Beiyou to the entrance to the underground part with a familiar car, and after entering it, there was a stone path that winded downward, the stone path was relatively gentle, not steep at all, and very wide, enough for two carriages to run side by side, presumably because of the need to transport a large amount of supplies to it.
All the way unimpeded, the stone path tunnel embedded with the ever-bright lamp on the wall continues to extend downward, as if the flame dragon that does not see the end of the end, after entering it, Xu Beiyou can already perceive the scale of this place, almost equivalent to a Danxia village, the two zigzag and walked for half an hour, just like walking in the beehive, through more than ten criss-crossing secret passages, the vision in front of them suddenly opened, and finally reached the destination.
This place is extremely open and vast, covering an area of about ten acres, about ten zhang high, supported by ten huge pillars, there are many caves dug out by hand on the walls around it, Xu Beiyou and Li Yanliang are out of one of these caves, the ground is scattered with all kinds of materials and many semi-finished ordnance, the central position is a huge copper furnace that is full of three people high, in which the flames are raging, the heat wave is pressing.
Not far from the copper furnace, a young man was sitting cross-legged behind a low table, this man was naked, and his lower body was casually wearing a pair of black trousers, although he was slightly emaciated, but the muscles were sharp and angular, and his black hair was casually draped down, and he was writing hard in a pile of drawings, and not far from him, there were also a pile of delicately composed drawings.
When the two of them stepped here, he seemed to feel something, and suddenly raised his head to look at the two of them, which seemed to be a simple action, but it drove the blazing fire in the copper furnace and swept towards the two of them.
The air in front of the two of them suddenly distorted, and then only a red color remained, Xu Beiyou was fine, but Li Yanliang couldn't bear it, his lips were chapped in an instant, he was sweating profusely, and after taking a few steps back, his body was shaky.
Xu Beiyou frowned, stretched out his palm in front of him and lightly turned it around, and used the sword seventeen with his bare hands, only to see a sword qi like a long practice surrounding the two of them, like a river of moats, isolating the boundless fire.
The man snorted lightly and said in surprise: "It turned out to be a sword master in the Earth Immortal Realm, but I haven't seen it for many years, are you a member of the Sword Sect or a member of the Dao Sect?"
Xu Beiyou replied calmly: "Sword Sect, Xu Beiyou." ”
This person may have been here for too long, and Xu Beiyou has only become famous in the past two years, so he is indifferent to the word Xu Beiyou, and then asked, "Then whose disciple are you from?"
Xu Beiyou replied: "The family teacher Sun Zhongmou." ”
This person stood up from a few feet in front of him, waved his hand to disperse the anger, and said with interest: "It turned out to be a disciple of Gongsun Zhongmou, my master is the senior brother of the pavilion master, and you are the same generation as your master, so you and I are considered peers." ”
Xu Beiyou inevitably smiled bitterly in his heart, his seniority is not low whether it is counted from Han Xuan's side or Gongsun Zhongmou's side, although the earth immortal above the tenth floor in front of him looks like a young man, but his real age must at least be outside the sixtieth century, and he can almost be his ancestor, but if you really want to talk about generation, the two are the same generation.
Xu Beiyou also dispersed the sword qi in front of him, and asked, "Haven't you asked Your Excellency for your name?"
The young man smiled lightly: "My surname is Wang, a single name is a new word, there is no table word, now it is made by the master craftsman of Tianji Pavilion, you can call me a master craftsman, you can also call me by my name, all with you." ”
Xu Beiyou didn't ask for the name of a ten-story floor realm earth immortal, but just said that it was made by a great craftsman.
Li Yanliang stood next to him for a while, seeing that Wang Sheng never paid attention to his intentions, some embarrassment was secondary, but he was afraid of delaying the important matter of Lord Dudu, so he could only cough lightly.
