List of strange talismans

Chapter 198 The Birth of the Steam Engine 4K
puff!
Blood spattered on Cedric's face, and he saw Valentine's head fly up and fall to the ground with a thud.

The headless corpse staggered two steps and suddenly fell to its knees.

I don't know if it was a coincidence. When Valentine fell, he stretched his hands forward and his fingers just touched his head. His posture looked like a devout believer who was worshiping the gods.

A thought flashed through Cedric's mind.

He sacrificed his head to the gods to atone for his sins.

puff.

Elvis fell to the ground.

His face looked extremely frightened, and his whole body was on the verge of collapse.

"Great Shuntian, I am willing to surrender!"

People are always afraid of the unknown, even extraordinary saints.

If Gu Xiuya had defeated Valentine in a head-on battle, Elvis would not have collapsed like this.

But Valentine's death was so strange that it was so strange that people couldn't understand it at all.It's so weird that it makes people feel hopeless.

No one wants to be the second Valentine.

Cedric thought so too. He trembled and knelt down on the ground, silently expressing his surrender in an extremely humble posture.

"I told you so, I told you so"

Tennyson knelt down and buried his head on the ground, muttering.

All this sounds complicated, but in fact, less than 2 minutes have passed from the time Gu Xiuya appeared to the present.

In 2 minutes, a mid-level saint was killed, and three saints surrendered without a fight. The situation went from collapse to victory. The reversal was so quick that it was a miracle.

"This is a miracle created by the great Shuntian. He cleared away Valentine's sins and made him bow his head voluntarily and receive the punishment he deserved!"

Ma En suddenly spoke.

He touched his chest and saluted Gu Xiuya, making a summary that belonged to the archbishop.

Everyone came to their senses and followed suit.

Voices rang out one after another, and everyone rushed to express their gratitude and admiration to Gu Xiuya.It's just that he was obviously a little worried when he spoke.

Valentine's crazy self-mutilation behavior before his death greatly impacted the sanity of believers.The headless and kneeling corpse, which is full of religious significance, shocked believers at the power of Suncheon.

The two emotions collided fiercely in their hearts, causing many people to look uneasy.

Gu Xiuya didn't have much expression on this.

At this moment, he was silently feeling the mysterious realization remaining in his consciousness.

The power of [Borrowing Gods to Descend from the Body] was beyond his expectation. This technique originated from Xuanshan City. Its nature is not as sacred as its name. It is called to invite gods to descend, but in fact it works similarly. The way to seize the body and possess it.

It can project the consciousness of the caster into the body of the subject, and even completely occupy it from the inside out.

It was by relying on this technique that Gu Xiuya was able to control Valentine to commit suicide, achieving a terrifying effect like divine punishment without any effort.

But the shortcomings of the trance method are as obvious as its effects.

Its function is only to provide a channel and a connection. The specific results must be completed by the performer himself.

Its duration is limited by the amount of real energy consumed, and its effect is purely determined by the intensity of a person's consciousness.

If the consciousness of the caster is much lower than that of the recipient, there is even a possibility that the body will be invaded in turn.

In other words, this is a double-edged sword. If you are not careful, you may hurt yourself.

You should be more careful when using this technique in the future, otherwise you will be in trouble if your boat capsizes in the gutter.

While his mind was spinning, Gu Xiuya said calmly: "Bishop Ma En."

"I'm here."

"God is disappointed with your performance. According to the scriptures, all cowards will be punished as they deserve."

".I will obey your will."

Ma En bowed his head and responded.

Gu Xiuya turned to look at Yelena, his expression softened slightly: "I will give you the rewards you deserve before leaving. Before that, I still need to deal with some academic affairs. You can take advantage of this time to think about what you want. What."

"Is anything ok?"

Yelena looked at Gu Xiuya, her clear eyes unblinking.

"of course."

Gu Xiuya said.

Yelena smiled: "Then me."

"Ahem, Your Majesty the Saint."

Ma En coughed and interrupted Yelena's words.

He was worried that his daughter would say something that would make Gu Xiuya unable to step down in front of so many believers, so he took the initiative to change the subject.

"Do you have any instructions regarding these three industrial saints?"

Hearing this, Gu Xiuya glanced at the three Cedrics who were prone on the ground.

His first thought was to deal with these three people together, but after thinking that these people had not taken action against the Galanz people from the beginning to the end, and that it would be too confusing and laborious to lure the new industrial saints again, he gave up this plan. .

Anyway, as long as they are brainwashed by Hepheus, these people will soon become one of their own.

After thinking for a moment, he reached out and waved his hand, and the three separate bodies immediately shot out and submerged into the three bodies.

Cedric's body trembled slightly. The powerful insight brought by the observation machine allowed him to discover the clone that had invaded his body almost instantly.

But when he subconsciously wanted to clear it away, he looked up and saw Gu Xiuya's indifferent eyes.

He immediately realized that this was the [Shackles] from the Shuntian Saints.

Only by keeping this thing could he have a chance to survive.

He fell silent, gave up resistance, and allowed the snake-like thing to crawl along his blood vessels and onto his heart.

"Take it to Shuntian Temple first. I will handle it personally later." Gu Xiuya said calmly.

"Ok."

Ma En agreed and was about to step forward when he saw Cedric actually getting up at an extremely fast speed, actively crossing his hands and holding them in the air, as if he was at a loss, showing his utmost cooperation.

The two people behind him saw this and followed suit one after another. They kept their heads down and didn't make a sound during the process.

Ma En was stunned for a moment, and his mood was a little complicated for a moment.

Once upon a time, the word saint was still an unattainable person in his eyes, an existence that he needed to look up to.

But now, the three industrial saints were in front of him, not even daring to breathe, as docile as three dogs waiting to be put on the reins.

He knew that the power that prompted the other party to surrender did not come from himself, but from the great Suncheon Saint.

But as the Archbishop of Suncheon Religion, he still felt a sense of honor in his heart at this moment.

Everything is really different.The glory belonging to Galanz has begun to show its impressiveness.Ma En thought in his heart.

He bowed and left with all the believers.

The crowd dispersed, leaving only Valentine's body in the square.

Gu Xiuya didn't waste time checking. He had already noticed Valentine's habit of touching his middle finger from time to time in his previous observations.

He stretched out his hand and Valentine's middle finger was cut off by the current and flew into his palm.

In an instant, a strong wave of consciousness suddenly came.

This power even caused the stupid python to move abnormally, causing the true energy in his body to begin to boil.

Noisy human voices gradually emerged, as if countless people were holding his head and roaring in his ears.

In a daze, Gu Xiuya heard two high-pitched and sharp syllables.

"Dissension. Dissension!!!"

Gu Xiuya was well prepared and immediately activated his ability to overcome misfortune.

The true energy circulates at will, and dozens of light points quickly emerge, forming a formation and spreading on the flesh and blood, isolating the consciousness energy that invades the body from outside the body.

At the same time, the stupid python spontaneously appeared in his chest, opened his mouth and spat into Gu Xiuya's palm.

In an instant, a snake-shaped shadow flew out, biting Valentine's fingers one after the other.

This is a newly developed method by Gu Xiuya to resist the erosion of consciousness. It can also be said to be waste utilization.

Xuanzhen's outer elixir has not been completely integrated with the stupid python. They have retained part of their original sanity. Although they cannot move freely under the suppression of the stupid python, they can still bring sanity to Gu Xiuya from time to time. intrusion.

In order to solve this hidden danger as soon as possible, Gu Xiuya chose to fight fire with fire.

The characteristic of the Guiyuan Sect's Waidan is that it dares to eat anything. As long as it is fed with more alien ideological energy, one day, the consciousness of the two-headed snake will be torn into pieces by various chaotic consciousnesses and disintegrate on its own.

This would not only solve his troubles, but also provide a safeguard for the foolish python.

After all, the stupid python dares to eat anything.

With the two-headed snake consciousness as the first filter, the foolish python can also be safer.

As his mind turned, Gu Xiuya looked at his palm.

The conscious body of the two-headed snake greedily sucked Valentine's finger, and the forked snake head couldn't help but squirm, constantly swallowing the black-red consciousness energy spreading out.

The stupid python looked unhurried. It lazily clung to Gu Xiuya's chest, its mouth slightly opened, and effortlessly pulled out the power of the two-headed snake and swallowed it into his stomach. .Just like a capitalist who draws blood and peels off skin.

As the two gluttons kept nibbling away, the black-red consciousness energy, which was extremely aggressive at the beginning, quickly collapsed. It no longer competed with the light spots inspired by the Crossing Calamity Technique, but instead shrank and retreated, hiding in in the container.

The flesh and blood shrank in the silent sucking, and the bones turned into black ash and fell, revealing an ancient iron ring among the ashes.

Gu Xiuya frowned slightly.

Is this the thing that scared Hephis so much that he dared not show his face? An iron hoop?
Gu Xiuya always felt like he had seen something similar somewhere.

He recalled it carefully and finally remembered where this feeling came from.

secret.

The fluctuation of consciousness that the iron ring just emitted was very similar to the feeling it gave him after the secret mark was activated.

The two are very different from the power of Taihao in terms of expression. The intensity is obviously far from unparalleled, but it is full of a sense of invincibility that transcends all things.

It's as if this power itself should be unparalleled, but it is limited by some reason and cannot be fully expressed.

He reacted immediately.

——The secret mark comes from the secret authority. This iron ring with similar fluctuations is obviously closely related to the authority of the gods.

No wonder, no wonder Hephis acted like he was facing an enemy.

Gu Xiuya thought of the two syllables he heard just now - dispute.

Obviously, the things in the ring are probably part of the authority related to the dispute.

It belongs to the [war] of the past and to the [industry] of today, but for some unknown reason, it was abandoned by them and thrown into the mortal world.

Gu Xiuya frowned slightly when he thought of this.

His original plan was to use the devouring characteristics of the stupid python to completely destroy this thing and solve the trouble at the root.

But now, after recognizing the essence of this thing, he understood that this was definitely not something he could do now.

——He can destroy a ring, but he cannot destroy an authority that has been born.

What Hephis feared was what was behind the authority. As long as this authority existed in Galanz, he would never dare to show his face.

Gu Xiuya knew that he had another way, which was to send someone to take the ring away from Galanz. As long as the distance was far enough, the God of Industry would not notice anything unusual about Galanz.

But after all, it is a kind of authority, something that even the gods desire. It would be a waste of resources to throw it away like this.

And no one knows whether this thing will cause other troubles after leaving Galanz.

It would be nice if there was some way to fix it once and for all.
Gu Xiuya thought to himself.

He was thinking about something while strolling on the bluestone road of Galanz, and he walked for a long time without realizing it.

"Your Majesty the Saint. Why are you here?"

Suddenly, Sachette's slightly surprised voice sounded.

Gu Xiuya came to his senses from his thoughts and looked up, only to realize that he had walked near the blacksmith shop unknowingly.

"Your Excellency Saint, are you here to check the progress of our work? Haha, then you came at the right time!"

Chekov's voice came from inside the door. After a while, Gu Xiuya saw the curtain of the blacksmith's shop being lifted. Chekov leaned on his shoulders and walked out of the blacksmith with a piece of mechanical equipment in the posture of a strong man. shop.

It was a typical single-wheel drive steam engine. The iron boiler was located on the lower right side of the machine. Above it was a pure copper water tank. A transmission rod protruded from the water tank and was connected to the runner on the left.

As long as fuel is put into the boiler, water is heated to generate steam, and the lever gear is driven to do work and the runner is rotated, the thermal energy and air pressure can be converted into mechanical kinetic energy.

In Gu Xiuya's previous life, such equipment had a resounding name - Newcomen atmospheric steam engine.

Different from the ordinary Newcomen steam engine, it also has some of the advantages of the Watt steam engine, and its durability has been greatly improved.

Chekov put the steam engine on the ground, took a breath, and smiled: "We have just completed the startup test on it. The equipment is running well and is ready for delivery."

Gu Xiuya's brows relaxed. The birth of the steam engine could be regarded as a milestone for his plan, which greatly relieved his irritable mood.

"Good job."

He praised it.

"You are over-praising me. This achievement belongs to you. We just did some trivial auxiliary work."

Sachette shook his head and said sincerely: "If it weren't for the knowledge you gave me, and if you hadn't helped us solve the problems with the piston valve and air inlet, it would have taken a long time for it to be born."

Having said this, Sachette saluted Gu Xiuya and said, "Your Majesty, please give it a name. This is a small step for us, but it is a big step for the entire industrial process. It should be remembered. .”
