Mohism was also a prominent sect in ancient times.
Its mechanism art practice was unique in the world and was reused by some practice dynasties. However, it later declined due to various reasons and the inheritance was finally completely cut off.
Li Mu guessed that an important reason for the decline of the Mo family was that the art of mechanism required a lot of manpower and material resources, and some dynasties and large sects could not afford it. Another crucial point was that the art of mechanism was not a separate category.
A master of mechanisms must also be a master of weapon refining, a master of calligraphy and a master of formations.
The core of the art of mechanism is to use the talisman array on the magic weapon.
This requires the machine master to be proficient in weapon refining, talismans, and formations at the same time, which invisibly blocks out most people who are interested in machine arts.
At the entrance of the worship department, a middle-aged man named Mo Li hugged Li Mu and said, "See Mr. Li."
Li Mu said: "You're welcome, come in."
In the worship department, Li Mu asked Mo Li to sit down, and asked someone to pour him a cup of tea, and then asked: "How much do you know about the Mo family's mechanism skills?"
Mo Li looked serious and said in a deep voice: "I am the only orthodox descendant of the Mohist family in the contemporary era. Although the Mohist family has long since declined, it has a complete inheritance. I know all the Mohist's mechanical skills, but I lack manpower, materials, and spiritual jade..."
Li Mu asked straight to the point: "Do you want to revitalize the Mohist family?"
It's not that he could guess Mo Li's thoughts. During the Hundred Schools period, every family wanted to become powerful and suppress the other schools. However, later on, the Taoist sect became the dominant one and the other schools of practice fell behind. The six sects of the Taoist sect were still vying to be the leader of the Taoist sect.
, as a descendant of an ancient sect, who doesn’t want to revitalize his own sect and fulfill his ancestor’s last wish?
Mo Li did not deny it and asked, "Sir, are you willing to give me this opportunity?"
Li Mudao: "Although Dazhou's family has a great business and no shortage of resources, if the resources used to support the Mohist family are used to recruit strong people, the strength of the Enshrinement Department may be doubled. Therefore, you must first convince me why these resources are given to
you."
If you want to obtain enough resources from Da Zhou, you must first show the value of these resources. Mo Li was already prepared. He took out a jade slip, handed it to Li Mu, and said, "This is part of the Mo family's mechanism skills."
."
Li Mu scanned it with his mind, and the contents of the jade slip appeared in his mind.
The content of this part of the mechanism art is in the form of drawings. It is not difficult for Li Mu, who was once an engineering student, to understand these drawings. The reason why the Mohist family was highly respected in the dynasty era is because compared to the other six sects, the Mohist family can seem to be transformed into human beings.
for war machine.
The machine puppets and machine magic weapons they created can exert the combat power of high-level human practitioners, and even outperform them. The design concepts of a large part of the magic weapons coincide with modern weapons.
The Mohist drawings were not secret, what was secret was the talisman formation depicted in it. Li Mu put down the jade slip and said, "If it's just these, it's not enough."
Mo Li was silent for a moment and asked, "What else does the Zhou court want?"
Li Mu pointed to a mechanism with a long barrel and said: "This thing is quite powerful, but it can only fire one blow in a short period of time. It is not flexible enough. I need you to change it into a mechanism that can fire continuously."
Mo Li thought for a while and said: "It is not difficult to change the talisman array and add grooves inlaid with spiritual jade."
Li Mu added: "These can only be used on land and in the air. The imperial court also needs ones that can be used in the water."
Mo Li said: "This is easy. You can carve a water-avoiding formation on the mechanism."
"These puppets are not powerful enough."
"The power of the mechanism puppet is related to the mechanism material and the spiritual jade used. The better the mechanism material, the stronger the mechanism puppet's body and the higher the defense. The higher the level of the spiritual jade, the more powerful the puppet's attack power. The strongest mechanism puppet
, comparable to Dongxuan..."
…
Li Mu and Mo Li chatted for several hours in the Worship Department and returned home very late.
He had high hopes for the Mohist machine arts, and hoped that soon, the Mohist heir would be able to create something useful for him. Manpower was not a problem for the court. Since the independence of the Northern State of Shen State, Nanjun no longer had to station so many people.
The soldiers are ready.
Li Mu can transfer half of the Nanjun officers and soldiers to him. As for the materials, disciples of the Corpse Sect have been in Yingzhou for many years. In order to refine corpses, they often need to survey the terrain and find suitable places to raise corpses. In the process, many underground mineral veins were discovered.
.
Ore is the raw material for refining magic weapons and mechanisms. The Corpse Sect is not good at these two things, and the Fu Lu Sect and the imperial court are not very good at it. And because it is far away in Yingzhou, mining and transportation are difficult, so Li Mu has not moved.
The area of Yingzhou is not smaller than that of Zuzhou, and there is no telling how many resources are buried deep underground. I might as well ask Mo Li to take those people to Yingzhou to study mechanism techniques and dig mines on the way. If a few veins of spiritual jade can be found,
He will truly become rich, and perhaps it will also solve the problem of stagnation in his spiritual practice.
His cultivation has been stuck at the peak of the fifth realm for a long time. In recent days, it has not increased at all. No matter whether Li Mu absorbs telekinesis or spiritual jade, those spiritual energy will not remain in the body after entering the body, but will escape.
come out.
He knew he had hit a real bottleneck.
This kind of bottleneck can no longer be broken through hard work. What is needed is opportunity. Of course, if he can find a spiritual jade vein and attack it with the spiritual energy of the entire vein, there is a great possibility of breaking through the bottleneck.
In this situation, it is useless for him to worry, he can only put more effort in other aspects.
For example, painting, body training, and learning dragon language.
After studying with Cheng Xin for a long time, Li Mu found that although it is difficult to get started with Dragon Language, after getting started, it will become easier and easier to study in depth. The Dragon King's Diary in his hand can only read a few sentences here and there.
I don’t understand, I need to ask Satsuma for advice, other Li Mu has been able to do it without any problems
Turning to the last page of the diary, there was only a short sentence written on it: "I heard that the women of Fuso Kingdom are open-minded. I must try it if I have the chance..."
The word "Fusang" is an ancient name. It is recorded in "Ten Continents Chronicles" that Fusang is located in the east of the ancestral continent and is an island on the East China Sea. It is no longer possible to verify which island it refers to. Today's ancestral continent is overseas in the East China Sea.
There are many small island countries that are short of supplies but rich in resources. Merchants from the Zhou Dynasty often use merchant ships to travel between these islands to do transactions with these small countries.
At this point in the diary, there is no further content. Li Mu didn't know whether the dragon went to Fusang in the end, nor did he know how the women of Fusang Kingdom were able to open up. However, he himself had to go to the East China Sea.
The merchant ships of the Great Zhou Dynasty traveled between several eastern counties and many island countries in the East China Sea, and were sometimes harassed by Japanese pirates.
In the past, because of the protection of Xuanzong, these pirates did not dare to be too arrogant. Now that Dazhou and Xuanzong have fallen out, Xuanzong no longer cares about these things. The Japanese pirates are becoming more and more arrogant. Li Mu sent an order to Ao Run to patrol the sea a few days ago to protect the merchant ships of Dazhou.
, he also captured a lot of pirates in the past two days and asked Li Mu for credit and rewards. When Li Mu contacted him yesterday, he could not be contacted.
Li Mu tried again just now, but still couldn't contact him.
With Ao Run's strength, which is comparable to that of the Sixth Realm at sea, nothing should happen. But just in case, Li Mu still planned to go and have a look in person. He sent Ling'er to the palace and called Chengxin along.
After all, we are at sea, and Li Mu's strength is limited, but she can exert 120% of her strength. Only with her can Li Mu feel relieved.
Chengxin is also very willing to follow Li Mu. Although there is food, drink and no work here, she is still a dragon after all. The sea is her home. It has been a long time since she has experienced the feeling of swimming freely under the sea.
…
Above the East China Sea.
A huge merchant ship parked on the sea. The practitioners on the ship struggled to hold up a magic shield. There were a few small boats floating on the sea. In the sky, there were several short people with their hair tied back.
The man was frantically attacking the merchant ship.
The attack method of these people is very strange. They float in the air without moving, but there are ghosts floating above their heads. These ghosts are so powerful that after attacking for a while, the mana shield outside the merchant ship is crumbling.
The faces of the people standing on the deck showed despair. The Japanese pirates were not only powerful, but also ferocious. Every time they robbed a merchant ship, they would kill everyone on board. The fate of the women was even more tragic.
The few women on the merchant ship had already begun to contemplate suicide.
boom!
The protective shield outside the merchant ship was finally breached by these Japanese pirates. Several Japanese pirates let out excited shouts and flew towards the merchant ship.
At this moment, there was a sudden change under the water.
A huge water column shot out from the bottom of the water. Several men were hit by the water column, and blood spurted out from their mouths. Then the thick water column was divided into several water ropes, which tied several men tightly.
The faces of several Japanese pirates changed drastically, and they all drove the ghosts above their heads to the bottom of the water to check.
Those ghosts had just flown down, but before they entered the water, several blue thunders came from under the water and hit their bodies. Several ghosts didn't even have time to howl, before they turned into a burst of blue smoke under the thunder and disappeared.
.
With the death of these ghosts, the faces of the Japanese pirates tied with water ropes became extremely pale, and the aura on their bodies also dropped from the fourth realm to the third realm.
Just when everyone on the deck stood still because of this sudden change, there was a clear dragon roar in their ears, and on the sparkling sea, a white dragon broke out of the water, and on the huge dragon head, a figure
