Chapter 287: Incredible craftsmanship, unique art in the world (5k)
at the same time.
In the upper room on the top floor of Xijiangyue Inn, Jiaoren Bai Liuli was soaking in the bathtub. His lower body turned into a fish tail when it encountered the water, swaying gently in the water. His upper body was lying on the small table along the edge of the bucket, reading a book.
What she was reading was not the Gospel of the Inquisition, but the "Secret Records of Lu Gong", an ancient Chinese book with Latin annotations. It was the undisclosed secret of the public losers!
There is also a "Mo Jing" with the same annotation and a "Human Structure" handwritten in pure Latin on the table.
The Latin handwriting on these three books is the same. Bai Liuli understands both languages and reads them carefully.
At this moment, the mask on her face has been taken off, revealing a very beautiful face - only the face has no scales and is perfect. Her body has more or less silver scales, but they are very fine and smooth.
Natural harmony without compromising beauty.
"Ciel."
Bai Liuli looked at the book and called softly.
"grown ups."
The only female knight among the knights opened the door and walked into the room. She had long fiery red hair, which was tied into a ponytail and hung naturally on the back of her head. She swung it as she walked, like a dancing flame.
After entering the door, Charles half-clasped his right hand, placed it on his chest, and bowed to salute.
Bai Liuli turned the pages of the book and said, "It's very noisy outside. What happened?"
Charles said respectfully: "A member of the Gongshu family had a conflict with another Central Plains man. It seemed that they were fighting for something."
Bai Liuli raised his eyebrows slightly: "The public loser...puppet?"
Charles nodded and said, "Yes."
Bai Liuli said: "Is it an ordinary puppet or 'Raphael'?"
The sarcastic smile on Charles' face flashed away: "It's just an ordinary puppet, how can it be compared with Raphael."
Bai Liuli said: "That's right. The Gongshu family has unparalleled skills, but those who come after them find it difficult to carry them forward. They waste natural resources and are far inferior to their teachers."
Charles thought for a while and didn't quite understand the idiom, but he understood the general meaning and said: "Mr. Michael is well versed in everything. His mind and body are both top-notch in the world. Naturally, these ordinary people cannot compare with him."
"yes."
Bai Liuli put down the book, held her chin, and said helplessly: "The teacher is a true all-rounder, just like Mr. Leonardo, but unfortunately I am not... He used astrology to observe that there will be great opportunities in our trip, but it has already been
It's been three days and I still don't have any clue, which is really worrying..."
"My lord, don't worry."
Charles comforted: "Tomorrow the market will open, and perhaps 'opportunities' will also appear."
"I hope so."
Bai Liuli cheered up and asked seriously: "Are you all ready?"
"Already prepared."
Ciel solemnly replied: "The [White Dragon Pearl] is a matter of concern to you, and you must get it! The more other treasures, the better!"
"very good."
Bai Liuli smiled and nodded: "Chinese has improved."
Charles smiled sheepishly.
"I am ordering everyone to be on guard, be prepared, and wait for...'opportunity'."
"yes!"
…
Gu Xiaoyu didn't lie.
He took Cao Jinxing to a pawnshop with a strict mouth and helped him sell three fifth-grade mid-to-high-level weapons, [Scabies Bin], [White Fish Double Ring], and [Yue Yue Dao], and raised nearly 170,000 taels of silver.
It is definitely more than enough to buy [Zhu Guo].
After all, [Zhu Guo] only replenishes qi and nourishes the body and enhances one's skills, not a life-saving elixir. Even if it is very rare, it only costs 50,000 taels at most.
Then, Gu Xiaoyu bought good wine and food and took them back to the inn, where he went with Cao Jinxuan and Qin Xuanji to study the stone ball while eating.
Before eating, Cao Jinxing took up his pen and quickly wrote down "The Art of Returning to the Origin of the Underworld" and handed it to Gu Xiaoyu casually.
Gu Xiaoyu took it solemnly, glanced at the content, and became more and more surprised as he read it. He coughed and put it in his pocket calmly.
"Brothers!"
Now Gu Xiaoyu is getting more and more satisfied with Cao Jinxing. There is nothing he can do about the leak of the skill. He just has this ability and can learn it. It is not his intention to teach it, but he can harvest the same fourth-level top-level secret book to supplement the Gu family's skills.
The shortcomings in internal strength are definitely a win-win situation!
"Emperor's Qi-seeing Technique" and "Nether Sea Return to the Origin Technique", the two magical skills work together, and the Gu family will take off without limit!
Gu Xiaoyu thought of the evaluation of Cao Jinxing by the Central Plains Jianghu, especially the evaluation of the Beggar Clan - this man is a rare "gentleman" in the world, and it is a pleasure to make friends with him.
The Beggar Gang helped him once, and he gave them all the magical secrets in Fang La's treasure!
With the help of the imperial court, with the above sentence, he would willingly hand over his self-created "Hunyuan Zhenqi" and let Jin Yiwei learn it...
Previously, when resisting Japanese pirates in Taizhou, in order to reduce the pressure on the soldiers to defend the city, they even put themselves in danger and fought against Niu Gui and the other six top leaders of Tongyou...
No wonder that upon hearing the news of his "death", all the Zhenfusi came out to avenge him!
Such people are indeed worth it.
He doesn't attach much importance to martial arts, because even if he practices the exact same martial arts, he can defeat all invincible opponents in the same field, so he only does things based on his heart.
Those who are friends with him are given magical secrets, materials and treasures of heaven and earth at will, and those who are enemies with him... For example, those three Dharma elephants are still hanging in front of the mountain gate...
Love and hate are clear!
Gu Xiaoyu felt in his heart that he acted openly and without saying a word, as if talking to himself, he recited the "Emperor's Qi Watching Technique" and the key points of cultivation, and helped him find and fill in the gaps.
Cao Jinxing smiled and filled him up with wine. The two toasted together, looked at each other and smiled, and their relationship took a further step.
Next to her, Qin Xuanji showed a bright smile.
After dinner, Cao Jinxing took out the stone ball, and the three of them gathered around the table to observe it carefully. Even though they knew that it had huge energy inside, how to "open" it was a problem...
"How about cutting off the outer stone skin?"
Gu Xiaoyu suggested.
"no."
Cao Jinxing shook his head, his eyes filled with golden light, and said: "This layer of stone skin seems to be closely connected with the inside. If the treasure of the public loser is opened forcibly, it will self-destruct."
Just like the Mohist magic ball that records "Non-attack Sword Techniques", it is hidden in the ink square. If it is forcibly opened by external force, the corrosive liquid will erase the patterns on it.
They could tell that the materials inside were of good quality and were not afraid of swords, but there was no guarantee that there would be similar devices that would destroy key parts.
"This is how to do?"
Gu Xiaoyu has a headache, and the stunning beauty is already sitting on his lap, but she can only act like Liu Xiahui... This is the most uncomfortable thing!
Cao Jinxing closed his eyes slightly, and when he opened them again, the golden light shone brightly. He used the "Emperor's Qi Watching Technique" with all his strength, looked directly at the surface of the stone ball, and gradually revealed the internal structure...
That fire is extremely strong!
He seemed to see a curled-up "bird" from the "fire". The stone ball was like an eggshell, sealing the energy from leaking out, but it was not leaky, and there was still something that could be activated... Cao Jinxing is keen
I discovered it and pointed it out!
Card!
A small sound.
The part Cao Jinxing clicked suddenly lowered, like a button, and the surrounding stone skin quickly split, and the entire surface turned into the same button with a size of nine times nine, just like each of the big nine palaces has a small nine palaces.
There are numbers engraved on each palace, some have been determined, and some are still changing as the gears rotate, and then the entire surface of the stone ball spreads out like water waves.
I saw that the numbers above were constantly rotating and chaotic, which dazzled everyone who saw it!
"What is this?"
Gu Xiaoyu was dumbfounded when he saw it. He thought hard and had no clue. He couldn't help but cursed: "The public losers, the Mo family, are so full! They specialize in these messy things!"
"This seems to be a 'losing slip'..."
Qin Xuanji looked at the Jiugong grid and frowned: "It is rumored that 'Gongshu Shou' is a unique secret language created by the Gongshu class. Only the direct descendants of the Gongshu family know the solution. The numbers in each of the ninety-nine and eighty-one grids must be correct."
Turn on the mechanism..."
Speaking of this, Qin Xuanji shook her head.
This is so difficult!
When Gu Xiaoyu heard this, he sighed: "Didn't I buy it for nothing? Could it be that I can only sell it back to the public loser? Damn it!"
"That's not necessary..."
Cao Jinxing looked strange and answered.
Qin Xuanji and Gu Xiaoyu were both stunned. Gu Xiaoyu was shocked and said: "Can you even solve this? How can you..."
"It's not that mysterious. If you know the rules, you can figure it out."
Cao Jinxing's mouth twitched as he looked at this thing. Good guy, the Mohist family copied the "Rubik's Cube" and made a "Mok Cube". Not to be outdone, the public loser imitated the "Sudoku" and made a "Loss Slip"...
You are truly worthy of being mortal enemies!
"The rules are simple."
Cao Jinxing got started directly, fiddling with the number buttons and saying: "As long as you fill in the numbers from one to nine in each small nine-square grid, so that the numbers in each column and row of the entire big nine palaces are not repeated, even if the decryption is completed
.Not difficult.”
"..."
Gu Xiaoyu was stunned. The numbers in each row and column were not repeated. There were nine, nine, and eighty-one grids...
He looked at Qin Xuanji: "Isn't this difficult?"
Qin Xuanji: "..."
It is indeed not difficult for Cao Jinxing.
He often played puzzle games like this when he was a child. It was very easy to solve it. In less than thirty breaths, Cao Jinxing had already dialed the numbers of each palace accurately.
When the correct number was filled in at the last square, a loud cry suddenly came from the stone ball!
With a kind of admiration and affection.
The stone ball fell off instantly, revealing a crane-like machine bird curled up inside.
It has red markings on its blue feathers and a white beak.
The mechanism inside the bird's body rotated, its neck slowly stretched, its wings gradually spread, and suddenly it stood up on the table with its wings flickering and shaking!
Those ruby-like eyes looked at Cao Jinxing without blinking.
The three of them were stunned.
Is this a machine bird?
It's exactly the same as the real thing!
——Those exquisitely carved wings, that agile and natural look, all interpret the astonishing beauty, uncanny craftsmanship, and miraculous skills!
It does not require human control.
It is Yan Jia!
Qin Xuanji looked at the machine bird carefully and felt that it was somewhat familiar. When she saw that the machine bird had only one foot under its body, she suddenly realized and said: "It is recorded in "The Chronicle of Foreign Objects in China" that there is a bird that looks like A crane with one leg, red ink and green texture and a white beak, is called Bifang! It calls itself, and when you see it, there is a fire in the town... This is a Yanjia made after Bifang!"
Bi Fang...
Hearing his name, the machine bird turned to look at Qin Xuanji, tilting his head in a naive manner.
Qin Xuanji fell.
This is more real than real, beautiful and cute, I can't help but reach out and play with it.
Cao Jinxing couldn't understand it at all. He frowned deeply and said, "How on earth is this done? How is it possible?"
The existence of the machine beast is already very high-tech, and Yanjia is even more high-tech!
Gu Xiaoyu recovered from the shock and said with a smile: "It's rare, there are times when you don't understand. Yanjia is indeed magical, but it is not a fantasy. It is the same as the machine beast, but it is driven by a spiritual core... "
Gu Xiaoyu's eyes lit up with golden light and he pointed at Bifang's chest.
Cao Jinxing used the "Emperor's Qi Watching Technique" to look over it, and he discovered the complicated mechanisms inside the wooden shell of Bifang, as well as the main source of the powerful "fire energy" hidden in the core - a heart-shaped heart. "Spiritual Core"!
Gu Xiaoyu said: "The principle of Yan Jia is not difficult to understand. You can think of it as an alien beast that is completely puppetized except for the brain, or you can imagine it as a machine beast driven by a spiritual core. Its core lies in two points. Listen The 'brain' that commands and the 'spiritual core' that provides energy.
Gongshuyi once said that the key to Yanjia is to first use organ magic to transform the body, and then use yin and yang to grant consciousness... This is the case for Yanjia made by Gongshuyi.
First create a spiritual core that can transform and store true energy, as well as a puppet body, then peel off the obedient beast's brain, seal it in the central device, transfer it to the puppet body, and use yin and yang to penetrate it... But it's easier said than done. It’s just too difficult! Even if there are public transmission pipes, there is only one out of ten, and because the materials are hard to find, the surviving Yanjia is extremely rare!”
Gu Xiaoyu looked at Bi Fang's unrendered golden wooden head and said: "This wood has red gold and deep fire. It should be the legendary [Fuso Sacred Wood]. Only this kind of top-quality material can be made." Such a powerful fire spiritual core. This Yanjia is most likely a test product before Gongtong Pipe made [Xiangjun]."
"..."
Cao Jinxing looked at [Bi Fang] who was so nimble and flexible on the table, but it was still a little hard to accept.
It is not difficult to understand the spiritual core that transforms and stores true energy. [Eight Array Diagrams] and [Tiandao Sword] both have this function.
When Huashan thought about crossing the cliff, Tiandao Sword was able to set up sword formations because it could store and release the vitality of heaven and earth!
It is not difficult to understand that all the brains except the alien beasts have been transformed into puppets, but they are just more completely modified than the eight puppets before.
But the combination of the two...
What the hell……
Biomechanical!
Simply unbelievable!
And this kind of unimaginable pinnacle art was accomplished by Yanshi Neng as early as 900 to 1000 BC, during the period of King Mu of Zhou Dynasty...
Two thousand five hundred years ago...
Cao Jinxing's eyes twitched, thanks to the helpless planners who dared to do this setting, which directly turned those pre-Qin masters into semi-immortals.
"Don't be stupid, recognize your master quickly."
Gu Xiaoyu reminded: "Pour your true energy into the [Bifang] spiritual core. From now on, you will be its master and can control it like the true energy. Don't look at it because it is small. The Fuso Sacred Tree can absorb it.
It stores the heat of the sun and its true energy is extremely powerful, it will only be stronger than the real Bifang!"
"..."
Cao Jinxing looked at Qin Xuanji and Gu Xiaoyu.
Qin Xuanji shook her head and mouthed: "Xiao Hei..."
The jealous man was already very angry because of Niu Gui, but the two were evenly matched, so he could only endure it. If the whole machine went back again, he would probably explode...
Of course, this is just an excuse. Even if Xiao Hei is not jealous, Qin Xuanji will not want it. Cao Jinxing can exert its power better than her.
"Dont look at me."
Gu Xiaoyu also said: "This is what I found for you, not to mention that you untied it... Don't look at me like this, I am a shameless person!"
"..."
This was not the expression I had when I was holding the "Netherworld Return to Origin Art" in my arms just now...
Cao Jinxing smiled and shook his head and looked at Bi Fang.
Bi Fang also looked up at him.
Cao Jinxing stretched out his hand towards it, and the Hunyuan Zhenqi was transformed into pure Yang Qi, which was poured into the spiritual core of Bifang's body.
Bi Fang's eyes flashed.
The whole body suddenly burned with scorching flames.
The divine bird [Bifang] reappears in the world!
…
Crane Tower.
Gongshuyi squeezed out a smile and sent Fang Muchen and Fang Xian away. Not surprisingly, Gongshuyi was bleeding again.
"When I get the copper servant, I will settle the accounts with you!"
Watching the two of them go away, a sinister light flashed in Gong Shuyi's eyes.
"Brother."
Gongshu Qidao: "In addition to Fang Bingtian, Fang Xian has also arrived. I don't know how many masters there are in the dark. This..."
"fine."
Gongshu Yi confidently said: "When the market opens tomorrow, the Fang family will be stationed at Tianyuan Pavilion with all their strength. If there is no defense in the direction of the pier, grandpa and the others will be able to land on the island smoothly. This time Gongshu will come out in full force, and [Xiangjun] will definitely be able to capture him!"
"
"good!"
Hearing these words encouraged him, Gong Shuqi pumped his fist excitedly, then looked at the shadow-like [Mountain Ghost] behind Gong Shuyi, and said with some regret: "It's a pity that [Mountain Ghost]'s spiritual core is relatively poor, otherwise maybe it can be used to its full potential.
With the power of illusion, Fang Xian and his ilk don’t have to worry... Big brother’s skills are unparalleled, but he just can’t find good materials..."
Gongshu Qi shook his head.
When it comes to this topic, Gong Shuyi is also a little annoyed, but he is calmer than Gong Shuqi: "Gong Shuyi is no better than before. When the sixth generation ancestor was backed by the Han Dynasty, he had inexhaustible resources. Now we only rely on ourselves, so naturally we have to
The next step is...but it's coming soon. As long as [Xiangjun] is obtained, the public loser will be truly invincible. It will be a bit difficult to run rampant in the Central Plains, but the East China Sea is still very confident!"
Gongshu Qi nodded and continued: "The East China Sea is full of water. [Xiangjun] is of fire, so it is difficult to manipulate. It would be better if it is [Ehuang] of the sixth generation ancestor. The book says it was transformed by Jiaoren."
It’s like a fish in water!”
"You think beautifully!"
Gong Shuyi rolled his eyes at him: "How dare you think about [Ehuang] when you can find that [Xiangjun] is already blessed by the ancestors? It is the personal guard of the sixth generation ancestor. In terms of strength, it is slightly worse than [Xiangjun], but it is also
'Second only', and it is better at escaping. It has saved several times... Oh, let's not go into details. Let's get [Xiangjun] first, and then talk about other things!"
Gong Shuyi's face was full of irritation.
Gongshu Qi said carefully: "There is a friend on the island, why not..."
"..."
Gong Shuyi frowned slightly and said thoughtfully: "We can wait until grandpa arrives to discuss this matter."
