He still only has a vague concept of mechanism art, and cannot understand what the so-called core actually represents.
At this time, a series of harsh creaking sounds broke through the roar and reached everyone's ears. Tianming subconsciously raised his head and looked over. It turned out that the suspension bridge was lowered.
This iron-clad solid wood bridge, which is more than ten feet long, two feet wide and about a foot thick, can be regarded as a link in the defense line of the government city.
In fact, after going deep into the mechanism city, highly lethal mechanisms such as crossbow arrays and mechanism tunnels are basically gone. After all, the danger is there, and they are replaced by various suspension bridge gates.
These suspension bridge gates are all controlled by mechanisms. Once a foreign enemy invades, the switch can be cut off unilaterally and turned into a mode that can only be opened from one side to block the opponent's attack.
Therefore, the name of "Government City" is not touted by Jianghu people. It is really difficult to deal with.
Even if there is an invasion by invincible outsiders, at least it will not be difficult to give them time to escape - at worst, we will give up the territory to you first and leave it to the future!
The government city itself was dug into the mountain, and its internal structure is basically original - all made of stone. In other words, it would be difficult for outsiders to destroy it.
The only thing that is easier to destroy is the plank road outside, but with the Mohist's technology, it is not difficult to rebuild.
As for directly occupying the magpie's nest and seizing the Mohist's territory, it is also unrealistic.
The main problem is that it is too difficult to get in and out!
In general, this unique location advantage of the Mohist family really makes people have no place to talk about the government city.
A group of people passed the suspension bridge, and in front of them was another thick bronze gate.
Before they could pull the switch, the gate opened by itself, and then a group of people walked out.
The leader is a thin old man wearing a loose linen robe with white beard and hair.
As soon as Master Ban saw the person, he immediately smiled and said, "It's really strange today. Even if Thief Zhi comes here, Brother Xu, are you willing to go out and pick me up?"
Thief Zhi flashed to the front and showed a yawning smile, "Old man Ben, you are overthinking. Why is Lao Xu here? I can guess it with my toes!"
Master Ban stroked his beard and smiled, "That's true. The only thing that can make Brother Xu come out is..."
Having said this, class master Xue Nu and others who knew Master Xu all unanimously turned their attention to Gai Nie Chenhe, who was at the end of the team.
To be more precise, on their swords.
Master Xu's eyes were fixed on Yuan Hong from the beginning, and he didn't even bother to talk to Master Ban and Taizhi who were talking to him.
At this time, Gai Nie also lowered his head to look at his sword, and saw Yuan Hong buzzing and trembling in the sheath, as if he was about to take it out at any time.
Tianming, who was not sure why, also followed the crowd and looked over, and found that the focus of his eyes was his uncle Yuan Hong.
Before he could figure out why, Yuan Hong suddenly unsheathed his sword and flew out with a clatter, passed by Tian Ming who was caught off guard, and fell into the hands of Master Xu not far away.
Master Xu took the flying Yuanhong, drew a sword flower in the air, and placed the sword steadily on his chest. He put the two fingers of his left hand together and gently stroked it slowly, feeling the coldness carefully.
The unique texture on the sword edge.
However, at this time, he did not feel as excited as an ordinary swordsmith would feel when seeing a sword. Instead, his eyes were lowered, with a little sadness.
Tianming keenly sensed the emotions of the old man in front of him, and felt a little baffled.
Why was he so sad when he saw his uncle Yuan Hong?
After Xu Fuzi rubbed Yuanhong back and forth, he put it upright in front of him, bent the two fingers of his left hand, and flicked it.
Zheng!
A clear chime sounded immediately, overpowering the roar of the water and resounding throughout the mountain.
At this time, Gai Nie roughly guessed the identity of the old man in front of him. He walked forward, clasped his fists in greeting and said, "Is it possible that your Excellency is..."
Hearing the voice, Master Xu woke up from his daze and took the initiative to introduce, "My surname is Xu. To save face, brothers, please call me Master Xu."
"It is indeed Mr. Xu who is known as the 'Sword Master'. I have admired him for a long time!"
Master Xu's name is even more famous than some top masters in the world. After all, this is a world where swords are the most respected, and he is one of the few sword masters in the world.
Not to mention anything else, among the current top ten sword forgers in the sword manual, only Master Xu is a contemporary swordsmith, and the others have basically passed away.
The closest swordsmith besides him is Yuanhong's predecessor, Canhong's forger, who is also Xu Fuzi's mother.
It can be said that in the past fifty years, the most famous swordsmiths in the world have all belonged to the Xu family.
Such people are naturally highly respected by people in the world.
Gai Nie's own sword and the sword of his junior brother Wei Zhuang all came from the Xu family, so of course he was no stranger to Master Xu.
When Tianming heard what Gai Nie said, he couldn't help but murmured, "'Sword Master'? This title is so bluffing. Why does it feel like it's more powerful than your uncle's title of Sword Master?"
Gai Nie did not respond to the title question, but just lectured, "Tianming, don't be rude!"
"Oh..." Tianming curled his lips and stepped aside honestly.
Thief Zhi was more loyal and came over to explain to him, "Hey, boy, you don't know this. Lao Xu is a swordsmith, not a swordsman."
"People call him the 'Master of Swords' because his swords are well made, which is completely different from your uncle's Sword Master."
"Oh! That's it." Tianming understood and nodded repeatedly.
At this time, Master Xu said to Gai Nie, "This sword was the last work of my mother during her lifetime...it will be your sword, so it complements each other."
After saying that, he stretched out his hands and returned Yuanhong to Gai Nie.
When Tianming heard this, he understood why the old man had that expression just now. It turned out that he was missing his mother.
Gai Nie took Yuan Hong back and put the sword into its sheath. Master Xu reminded him, "There is another sword in the city, which is incompatible with Yuan Hong's sword. From the selection of materials to the casting process, the two swords are destined to be incompatible."
, although its ranking in the sword manual is lower than Yuanhong, but you'd better be careful."
Master Xu was naturally referring to the Shui Han Sword he forged, and the person he warned Gai Nie to be careful about was the sword master of the Shui Han Sword, one of the leaders of the Mohist family, and Jing Ke's best friend - Gao Jianli.
Unlike Duan Murong, the snow girl who didn't have a bad impression of Gai Nie, Gao Jianli's life was directly saved by Jing Ke back then, and he and he were close friends who could live and die together.
After the assassination of Qin, Gu Xun undoubtedly became Gao Jianli's sworn enemy. However, Gai Nie, who also tried to stop Jing Ke, was also hated by Gao Jianli and disliked him very much.
If the two of them met, even a man like Master Xu who was obsessed with making swords would guess that the scene would not be pretty.
Gai Nie nodded silently to this reminder, indicating that he had taken note of it.
