    The crisp cracking sound was particularly harsh in the dark chamber, and the disc that made the sound vibrated slightly visible to the naked eye.  {Chinese.

    £ýDeacon Tang, who had been pressing his ear against the disc, felt as if someone had really stabbed him in the ear. His eyes that were originally closed suddenly opened and bulged outwards, and he opened his mouth wide, trying to scream.  He still shouted, but before he could really make a sound, his whole body went limp and he fell to the ground.

    "What's wrong? What's that sound? Why did the silver plate break?" In the darkness behind him, the younger voice was also a little surprised.

    "It's been discovered." The older voice said concisely.

    "Old Tang" The owner of the younger voice seemed to have gone up to check, and the results were immediately available.  "Dead. There is not even a chance to react or resist. What kind of method is this? No matter how powerful the cattle hunter is from across the mountain, he can't hit him here. His ears are broken, but he doesn't look like he was shocked to death by the force. After all, this is the Tang family  How can a person die so easily?"

    The more mature voice thought for a while and said: "It should be a Taoist magic method. The sound was mixed with a killing move directed at the soul. If Old Tang had had time to react at other times, even if he was hit, he would not be directly injured.  He was killed. But he himself was listening attentively, which was equivalent to completely letting go of his spiritual platform, and he was no different from an ordinary person, so he was killed with one blow. "

    "A killing move directed at the soul? The Taoist law of the Shangqing Dynasty? Is it that kid?"

    "I don't know, but that guy is calm and will not take action rashly. If he does, there must be follow-up measures."

    "what to do?"

    "Just do it."

    "You really want to do this? This is different from what we discussed before."

    "There is no need to discuss everything before doing it. Now that we have been discovered, instead of taking our time, it is better to give him the results directly."

    "Even if we want to take action, is it too early? Zhang Yuanling must not have gone far yet. At least he will still be in Luoshui City. That is the biggest variable."

    "A variable that can be predicted is not a variable. It depends on how we control it." The strong and mature voice paused, as if laughing silently, with a strange excitement in the voice.  "And it's fun when there's a twist. I'm looking forward to that twist."

    "Hehe. Okay. You have the final say. You are in charge."

    Everyone in the Shenji Hall who was standing far away was called over.

    Ling Wusheng's face was extremely ugly. He pointed at the broken bowl-shaped mechanism on the ground, glanced at Hall Master Zhou and several deacons with eyes that could stab someone to death, and asked: "What is this? Why is it happening?"  Here?"

    Ling Wusheng doesn¡¯t understand the mechanism.  He didn't have Ming Yue's Buddhist magical power, but he instinctively sensed something was wrong from Ming Yue's behavior just now. After asking for a moment and observing carefully, he immediately understood the purpose of this bowl-shaped mechanism.  Using Zhongtong's pipes to eavesdrop on sounds not far away is actually not a mysterious method.  There are similar arrangements in many brothels. Although the effectiveness of this mechanism is undoubtedly a thousand times more powerful, the basic principle is the same. There are almost no people in the Yingshan Guards who do not understand these underhanded methods. Ling Wu  Sheng just didn't pay attention before, but with Mingyue's reminder, he immediately understood it after careful analysis.

    "This is this." The sweat on Hall Master Zhou's forehead rolled down. He stared at the debris in the ground with his eyes wide open. His whole body was stiff and motionless. He looked like a deformed animal that had just been fished out of the soup.  meatball.

    "This is the Diting Treasure Bowl. Who put this in it?" Chief Craftsman Cheng recognized this thing at a glance.  shouted.

    Chief Craftsman Cheng was the only one who shouted loudly, and Ling Wusheng's eyes immediately fell on him.  Although Chief Craftsman Cheng knew with his powerful calculation logic and rationality that the shadow-shirted commander in front of him was actually only worth half a year's income and was not a big deal, when he was stared at by that terrifying gaze, he felt a sense of animal instinct fear.  It radiated from the depths of his heart. He couldn't help but take a few steps back and explained: "This thing was originally a device we used to monitor. It was just built by our Qingzhou branch a few years ago. It is the same as the 'Peeping God's Eye'  The two most successful works of the Qingzhou branch have also won awards from Master Fang. Their inspirations were obtained from the five elements of magic." Seeing that this explanation only made the dangerous atmosphere in Ling Wusheng's eyes thicker, Chief Craftsman Cheng immediately  Pointing at Hall Master Zhou, he shouted: "I don't know why this thing is placed here. He is the Hall Master and he must know."

    Hall Master Zhou can¡¯t even think about getting angry. Hall Master is the highest official position in Qingzhou Branch.  In any case, these responsibilities would fall on his head at least in name, but in fact he was really powerless. He could only reply in a vain voice: "It should be Deacon Tang who did it. Mr. Ling, you also know that he is Tang  Although he is a deputy in name, he can actually save money.??How can I ask anyone what he wants to do?¡±

    "Where are the others?" Ling Wusheng glanced at him, and all the people in Shenji Hall who came into contact with this gaze couldn't help but tremble.

    "I should be eavesdropping. These listening bowls can be installed at will, but you can find the eavesdropping position by just following the connected copper wires."

    Hall Master Zhou was right. Following the copper wire connecting the listening bowl, it was easy to find the underground secret room where Deacon Tang eavesdropped. Deacon Tang was indeed there, but he had become a corpse without any sound.  corpse.

    When he saw this corpse with bleeding ears and wide-eyed eyes, Ling Wusheng's gloomy face became even more gloomy, as if he could squeeze ink from the wrinkles between his eyebrows. He glanced at the corpse standing far outside the door.  Everyone in Shenji Hall looked at Mingyue and asked: "Miss Mingyue, does this person have any accomplices?"

    "How do I know? I didn't know who he was before, I just felt someone was eavesdropping." Mingyue shook her head.  "In the community of institutions over there, I found twelve of these things. The intervals between each one are almost the same, and they are evenly distributed. According to the distribution pattern, I guessed that there should be one in the place where I rested just now.  .¡±

    Tianhe Ghost put his ears on several discs on the wall with great interest.  "Hey, this thing is really useful. You can still hear sounds from such a distance. And it's not using Taoist magic or magical powers. It's just the power of mechanism. It's really hard for people who are not familiar with it to detect it." He recalled.  After a while, he shook his head.  "But we have never seen that big bowl in the places we have walked before. I think it is more like a big umbrella. We don't know it, but those people from Shenji Hall can see it at a glance. This Deacon Tang doesn't  He should be placed in those conspicuous places because he is afraid of being seen by those people. Therefore, this matter should be his own doing, at least the people of Shenji Hall should not know about it. "

    But Ling Wusheng's face was still as dark as water, and he said: "Miss Mingyue said. The area where Mr. Wuji went was full of such eavesdropping agencies. He knew in advance where Mr. Wuji and the others might go to discuss secrets.  Only then can he make such an arrangement. Mr. Wuji's trip is an absolute secret. Very few people know about it. It is definitely not something that an outside deacon of the Tang family can clearly know. There must be a bigger background behind this deacon Tang.  Maybe he is just a small character among them.¡±

    Mingyue said: "Don't you Shadow Guards have dog guards who are good at tracking? Can't you understand by asking two of them to come here and take a look?"

    "We don't have enough manpower this time. Master Wuji's action is of great importance. We didn't let too many people participate in it. We didn't even have a few people around the Shenji Hall, just for fear of leaking the news. But now look at it like this  Come"

    "Wait a minute!" Mingyue suddenly raised her hand.  Ling Wusheng stopped talking in astonishment, and then saw Mingyue closing her eyes, as if she felt the atmosphere in the secret room around her with her heart. When she opened her eyes again, a cold air flashed in her starry eyes,  She rushed out of the secret room in a flash, leaving only one sentence to Ling Wusheng: "It would be fine if the news was just leaked."

    At this time, there was a Tiangong agency group that was as huge as a town.  Nangong Wuji and Xiaoxia actually got lost.

    I wonder if Nangong Wuwei thought that such a trivial matter as finding the way could not trouble his eldest brother and the troubled Xiaoxia. The place he arranged was already deep in the cluster of agencies, and he did not leave any mark on the way back, and  Strictly speaking, this organization was not too big, so he just led the way and left silently.  And when Xiaoxia and Nangong Wuji walked around among the densely packed, unevenly-shaped, strange-shaped and seemingly irregular structures, they couldn't find a way out.

    "Ever since I was trapped on the thirteenth floor of Chengtianjing for a full month more than forty years ago before I found a way out, I felt that there was no place in the world that could trap me. I never expected that I would still be trapped in this institution today.  ." Looking at the seemingly endless government buildings around him, Nangong Wuji couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.

    "I'm sorry, Mr. Wuji, I didn't pay attention to where it came from before." Xiaoxia also touched her head and smiled bitterly.

    "It doesn't matter. It's not bad to take a stroll here by the way. Those outside are all deliberately arranged by the people of Shenji Hall, so they are nothing to see."

    ¡°If we take it seriously, it is definitely impossible for this mechanism to really trap two people.  Not only can Xiaoxia use the earth escape technique to leave at will, but even if he can shape the earth into a group of earth armored soldiers, he can use violence to smash everything blocking the way and rush out without any problem.  Even Nangong Wuji is not an ordinary old man without the strength to restrain a chicken. It is not difficult to fly up and down.

    But it¡¯s definitely not easy for Xiaoxia to leave Nangong Wuji alone and go out on his own. These heavenly structures are valuable and cost Shenji Hall countless efforts to build them. It¡¯s not enough to smash them casually. The key is that Nangong Wuji himself seems to beI have no intention of getting out in a hurry. I am really just like an ordinary old man who is lost in this place, strolling inside with my hands behind my back. If I come to a dead end, I just turn around and find another one.

    "If someone had said that thirty or forty years ago they wanted to build such a large-scale metal, iron, wood, and stone mechanism with manpower, they would have been said to be a dream. I remember that at that time, Qiaojinmen was not even a third-rate gang.  It is necessary to make some dolls and weapons and sell them in the market to survive. Now Shenjitang has not only achieved such a scene, but in a few years, institutions of this scale will be spread all over the world, and even bigger and ten more  It¡¯s not difficult to get twice as much, and I don¡¯t know what it will be like when the time comes.¡±

    Listening to Nangong Wuji¡¯s emotion, Xiaoxia couldn¡¯t help but ask.  "Mr. Wuji, since you attach so much importance to these institutions and think they are something that will revolutionize the world, why don't you take control of them?"

    "I'm just an old man living in the countryside, how can I control these incredible things?" Nangong Wuji smiled and shook his head.

    Xiaoxia couldn¡¯t help but shake her head and smile after hearing this.  In the few conversations in the past two days, the words "what virtue and ability" have been uttered several times in Nangong Wuji's mouth. I don't know if it is because he himself is too unrestrained by his reputation, or because other people's expectations and respect for him are too high.  Too big.  But even if it is true that this old man has indeed resigned from all positions and retired to the countryside.  He doesn't care much about world affairs, but his huge reputation and influence are still not reduced by half. He is just a Shenjitang. Even Nangong Wuji regards him as a fat pig ready to be slaughtered at any time.  If he really wanted it, it would only be a matter of a few words.  Xiaoxia couldn't help but say: "Mr. Wuji, why should you be humble? In fact, as long as you are willing."

    "Your idea is almost the same as that of the second and third child. I really don't know whether to say that their vision is as high as yours, or that your vision is as low as theirs." Nangong Wuji glanced at Xiaoxia with a half-smile but not a smile.

    "Mr. Wuji was joking, I was just asking casually." Xiao Xia waved her hands repeatedly.  He really just asked casually.  Nangong Wuji and Nangong Wuwei both control the Shadow Guards, and are one of the most powerful people in the world. He has never thought about matching the knowledge of these two people.

    "This mechanism is very likely to change the world. You are right, but why did the world change? Is it really just because of these gold, iron, wood and stones that have no spirituality? The root cause is still the same thing, the human heart  Ah. It was people who molded these soulless gold, iron, wood, and stones, and it will be people who will drive these things away in the future. To put it more broadly, this is a calamity inherent in the general trend of humanity." Nangong Wuji sighed and patted his side.  The wall of the machine.  "There will be more and more of this thing in the future, and it will become stronger and stronger. In the end, it will be so abundant that it will make those delusional people think that they can control the world and the universe with this thing, and it is omnipotent. It is the untested testimony, the unattained, the evil calamity of humanity.  The confusion and arrogance in the story originated from the same source as She Xiaodang¡¯s idea of ??planning this Tiangong mechanism. Even if I had the foresight to directly stop this matter, you should think that this Tiangong plan still has endless mechanisms.  Will it be gone? The road has been lost early, and people¡¯s minds are ingenious and chaotic. Whether it is Fang Zhifang, others in Qiaojinmen, or other smart people in the world, they will always come up with similar ideas and make similar things. But it will be later.  It¡¯s just time.¡±

    "And the appearance of this thing at this time is not completely useless. At least the current invasion of Xi Di from the south can be resisted by this mechanism. And letting the Tang family actually control this technique is also making the best use of it.  . The Tang family¡¯s unprovoking and murderous nature is well known to the world. They can just control the random thoughts of the young people. The key is that they actually know the right way to advance and retreat. This is far better than anyone else in the world."

    Speaking of this, Nangong Wuji was suddenly startled, and then shook his head and smiled: "Actually, my clever idea is also a demonic obstacle to 'theft' in human nature. It may not be much better than what the second brother did before. It's just that  The world is about to be in turmoil, and I always worry about the people and things in the Nangong family. Over the past few decades, I have brought this big family out of nothing. I really can¡¯t bear to see all the nephews and grandchildren involved in this turmoil.  If you have worries, you can only enter the world of mortals, and you are willing to suffer this calamity. Taoist Master Qingfeng, you are uniquely endowed. If you have no father, no mother, no family, then you can be free and free. This is what we people think  It¡¯s such a blessing that I can¡¯t even imagine.¡±

    Xiao Xia smiled bitterly and was speechless.  His life experience is miserable in the eyes of many people, but in the eyes of Nangong Wuji, the most respected person in the world, it is a rare blessing.

    "But Taoist Master Qingfeng, think about it for yourself, is there anyone or something you can't let go of?" Nangong Wuji suddenly asked.  "If there is, then can you give it up? That is true freedom."

    Xiao Xia's heart was moved by this question, and when she was about to open her mouth to answer, she suddenly felt strange vibrations coming from the ground around her.

    It¡¯s not surprising that there are vibrations. There are many people in the Tiangong organization group.All parts are in operation, and the low humming and trembling have never stopped. It's just that the vibrations coming from the ground are a little different at this time, and it seems to be approaching here quickly.

    With a bang, the mechanism wall not far away suddenly shattered, and a rapidly running mechanism beast crashed towards the two of them.  This mechanical beast is about twice as big as a buffalo. It has three pairs of mechanical legs on the left and right, and its head is just a huge rotating drill.  It turned out that the strange vibration that was approaching was actually the approaching footsteps of the mechanism beast, and judging from the drill bit on the head, not to mention the outer wall of the mechanism wrapped in wood and iron, even a rockery would be shattered by the impact.

    Xiao Xia's hand was reaching for the talisman bag, but Nangong Wuji reacted much faster than him. He stretched out his hand to pull him, and the two of them barely escaped the collision of the machine beast.  And just as he passed by the machine beast, the long sword on Nangong Wuji's waist was unsheathed, turning into a few stars and falling lightly on the two feet of the machine beast.

    There was another roar, and the machine beast that rushed out continued to smash the machine wall on the opposite side, but at the same time, the two feet on its side also fell from the roots. This huge beast lost the support on one side, and its body tilted.  It also fell to the ground along with the collapsed debris.  The intact leg on the other side was still moving rapidly, but the dead creature couldn't get up on its own.

    "Oh, this is some kind of charter they specially arranged. Do you want me to try the functions of this heavenly machine beast with my own hands?" Nangong Wuji's long sword was sheathed silently, looking at the passage that was knocked out,  He said calmly as usual.

    "Of course not! Mr. Wuji, be careful!" Xiaoxia shouted anxiously.  He raised his hand and pointed towards the ground. Under the vibration of the universal talisman in the spiritual platform, a spell was generated in the void. The soil on the ground surged and gathered together. In a few breaths, a huge clay puppet was condensed.  It is the first-grade earth element innate talisman Wu earth armor weapon spell.

    The machine beast that collided was obviously disabled, and Nangong Wuji's skills were far beyond his expectations, but Xiaoxia still used this innate spell that cost a lot of power, because he could  The tremors on the ground are becoming more and more obvious. It means that more and bigger machine beasts are rushing towards here.  (To be continued.)
