Chapter 1736: Fire in the Mechanical City

Zhang Xuezhou found some hidden clues from the bamboo slips.

Gongsun Hong was obviously dissatisfied with these contents of Mohism.

It was not until Gongsun Hong read through another volume of bamboo slips called "Jing Shuo" that he found the words "久" and "宇".

This is the Mohist definition of time and space, naming time as "Jiu" and space as "Yu".

The descriptions of "Jiu" and "Yu" are somewhat similar to the "Yu" and "Zhou" described by Shi Wudao, but compared with the content of Shi Wudao's short article, this scroll of Mohist bamboo slips is much more detailed in theory.

This mentions the finiteness and infinity of space-time theory, many of which have never been studied even by science in the real world.

And in space and time there are "space-time elements", and the space-time movement involved involves the migration of positions in time and space.

The incomprehensible contents almost made Gongsun Hong want to say "Pah", but as an inclusive Confucian, Gongsun Hong also patiently read through the texts to see if they could be incorporated into the Confucian system.

"how do you feel?"

After reading it through, Gongsun Hong asked Zhang Xuezhou.

"The concepts of '久' and '宇' are profound and obscure, and this is an area I seldom touch upon," said Zhang Xuezhou.

"It is rumored that the Mohist school has created a wonderful treasure. As long as you step into that treasure, the person passing through the treasure can instantly appear thousands of miles away," Gongsun Hong whispered.

"Does this involve 'Jiu' and 'Yu'?" Zhang Xuezhou asked.

"If I hadn't read through this bamboo slip, I would have thought this was ridiculous. But since the Mohists have this theory, maybe they really could have built a treasure that can travel through time and space," Gongsun Hong said, "The name of their treasure is probably Jiu Yu!"

"in this case?"

"We must find it, even if we have to dig three feet into the ground!"

There was a hint of fanaticism on Gongsun Hong's face.

He did not find the elixir for cultivation, nor did he find the magical weapon with earth-shattering power.

But once this treasure that can travel through time and space is found, the owner will have a terrifying deterrent power.

It is useless for Gongsun Hong to travel through the treasure, but if the person who travels through it is a great cultivator like Li Guang who is good at sniping, this will be a great deterrent to some beings, and they may even stay indoors.

He was thinking of all kinds of practical plans in his mind, and he was describing them with excitement on his face.

"What does this Jiuyu look like?" Zhang Xuezhou asked.

"It seems to be a mirror?"

Gongsun Hong was a little uncertain, but he still pointed a mark on the bamboo slip to Zhang Xuezhou.

“This seems to be the relationship between light and shadow?”

Zhang Xuezhou looked at the mark and was also uncertain.

Yin-Yang School is also a major school that specializes in the use of light and shadow. Jinchang's specialty, the shadow-following technique, is one of its uses.

Seeing the markings on the bamboo slips and the projections, Zhang Xuezhou felt that it was more like light passing through a hole.

Of course, he admitted that it did look like a mirror.

If this is not a diagram of some experiment, this may be the treasure that Gongsun Hong thought of.

"Look for it. As long as Mr. Gongsun has this item, it will be convenient for him to do things in the future!"

Zhang Xuezhou agreed.

His interest in this kind of treasure was relatively limited. After all, as long as he found a favored place and marked it, Zhang Xuezhou's dragon-riding technique could also be used to travel through space.

There is no need to think about it. Zhang Xuezhou is also very clear that there must be conditions when activating this treasure, and these conditions are not something that ordinary people can achieve.

If the Mohist School could rely on 'Jiu Yu' to move forward, the other school would not have been so dilapidated that it left the continent, causing the Mohist School to almost disappear. But for Gongsun Hong, who is not good at flying and does not have the power of shuttle, this is indeed a huge temptation.

"Hahaha!"

Zhang Xuezhou was very tactful in his words. Before he even started looking for treasures, he directly stated that he would not participate in the treasure sharing. This made Gongsun Hong extremely happy. He felt that it was really comfortable to cooperate with someone like Zhang Xuezhou.

This is more than just a convenience for Gongsun Hong. If it can be used properly, it could even be considered a national treasure.

With the goal of finding 'Jiu Yu' in mind, Gongsun Hong did not read through the remaining bamboo slips, but instead selectively searched through them, trying his best to find the location of the treasure.

"This mechanical room belongs to Qi Mo's master Xiangfu. If you want to find 'Jiu Yu', you must find the mechanical room of Mo Di, the founder of Mohism!"

After looking through it repeatedly, Gongsun Hong also found some general clues.

"Where is their ancestor's mechanism room?" Zhang Xuezhou asked.

"We can only find a bigger machinery room!"

Gongsun Hong looked at the large room found by Zhang Xuezhou and felt that the larger the Mohist school's mechanism room was, the more important the people involved should be.

If you want to find the whereabouts of the founder of Mohism, you just need to find the largest mechanism room.

"You said that after the death of the founder of Mohism, his school was divided into three schools..."

When Zhang Xuezhou was about to discuss the location of the largest machinery room in the machinery city, he heard hurried footsteps in the distance. It was obvious that Li Shaojun had also arrived.

The other party's footsteps were so rapid, almost like running, which made Zhang Xuezhou shout out.

"Li Shaojun!"

"It's over, it's over, Dongfang Shuo, we are all finished!"

Zhang Xuezhou shouted, and Li Shaojun shouted loudly after he identified the direction.

"That mechanical man 'Fire' is like a dead but still alive snake. It ignited all the fuel in the mechanical room. A raging fire broke out in that place, melting even gold and iron," Li Shaojun shouted.

"You mean we are trapped here and need to wait for the fire to go out and then wait for the molten gold and iron to solidify?" Gongsun Hong asked calmly.

"I can't wait. The fire is coming, and the black smoke is very choking. It seems to be very poisonous. I can't stand it after a few breaths!"

By the time Li Shaojun's voice fell again, Li Shaojun had already run to the door of the mechanism room with the night pearl in his hand.

The other party had nothing in his hands, even the fuel he had used for lighting was lost.

"It's going to be bad!"

Not to mention that Li Shaojun was panicking, thinking that this burning would leave him dead without a burial place, even Zhang Xuezhou became a little more anxious.

Zhang Xuezhou had many ways to escape and was not afraid of ordinary flames, but he did not ignore the extent of this kind of flames.

Even this body of his has not yet entered the realm of supernatural powers.

"Where is Ao Sheng? Didn't he spray water to put out the fire?" Gongsun Hong asked anxiously.

"That fire can't be put out at all," Li Shaojun said, "Hurry up and find a way, the fire is coming!"

As Li Shaojun finished speaking, Zhang Xuezhou and Dong Zhongshu heard a crackling sound of flames exploding in the distance, and there were more flames in the passage.

This made the two of them no longer have time to check the bamboo slips, and they left the mechanism room together and searched for other exits.

The Mohist mechanical city is built on a mountain, with most of its interior being hollowed out to form various spaces for storing supplies.

Zhang Xuezhou still hasn't figured out where the energy that allows this mechanical city to run, fly and swim comes from, nor has he figured out "Jiu Yu", but as long as this place is burned to a certain extent, it may touch the energy device that drives the mechanical city.

"Oh!"

As soon as he thought of the possible explosion of fireworks, Zhang Xuezhou felt that it was useless to hide anywhere in the passage. The only way to avoid the disaster was to leave here quickly and go to a secret place.
