Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 1038 The core of the organization
  After patting his heart, Tianming, who looked like he was still frightened, came back to his senses. He looked around at the people who were watching him with different expressions, and couldn't help but raise his hand and scratch his head with a smile.

Even as stubborn as he is, he knows that this time he went too far and almost made a big mistake.

After opening his mouth, he couldn't think of anything to say to lighten the atmosphere.

However, Xue Nu and others took into account Tianming's lonely life experience in his early years and were more tolerant of him. In addition, the real supervisor of the family was nominally Gai Nie, so they didn't say anything.

Only Master Ben shook his head and cursed helplessly, "You stinky boy..."

Tianming gritted his teeth and was too embarrassed to reply. He could only turn to Ah Ci and said, "Thank you, Ah Ci, otherwise I would have turned into ashes!"

"Hehe!" Azhi just smiled innocently and didn't respond.

Compared with adults who like to worry about causes, processes, and consequences, and think about factors that affect meaning recognition... and other issues, Aci's brain circuit is much simpler.

He didn't feel like he had done anything important at all.

Because when Tianming fell down just now, the hand that was about to prop him up on the ground was pointed at a sun-patterned floor tile.

For Ah Ci, the sun equals safety, which means that there is no threat in the morning. He simply helped his friend and prevented him from falling.

Is this a big deal?
  But Tianming himself didn't realize it. At the moment of falling, he had subconsciously adjusted his position and chosen a safe path.

At this time, everyone else had left, and the only ones left were Qianlong, Ganie and Aci.

Chitaki was obviously a little angry at Tianming's nonsense this time, and said in a heavy tone with a hint of reproach, "Tianming! Don't fool around like this next time, it's really dangerous!"

After saying that, without waiting for Tianming to answer, he turned around and chased Xue Nu and others.

When Ah Ci saw this, he chased his sister with his belly bulging out.

In the end, Gai Nie, the only one left, looked at the dawn and fell into deep thought for a while, speechless for a long time.

He was well aware of Tianming's naughty nature, but as he had no experience in educating children, he really didn't know what to do.

The only person he has taught is the eldest son of the empire, Fusu, but he is the standard eldest son of another family. He is almost not a creature of the same dimension as Tianming. There is really no analogy.

After struggling for a moment, Gai Nie took a few steps forward, half-crouched in front of Tianming, who was still in an awkward and ashamed state, and put a hand on his shoulder.

Tianming looked at Gai Nie's vicissitudes of life and calm face, lowered his head in shame and said to Nono, "Uncle, do you want to criticize me too..."

Gai Nie shook his head slightly and said a sincere lesson:

"Tianming, I just hope you can understand one thing."

"What's the point?"

"Bravery is not proven by others worrying about him, especially those who care about him."

"A strong person must be able to make his relatives and friends feel safe and secure."

"Can you understand this?"

Tianming shook his head subconsciously, then nodded immediately after realizing it, "Uncle, no one has ever taught me these words. I... don't quite understand."

"But I'll try to figure it out."

Gai Nie nodded happily, "I believe you."

"Maybe it will take a long time, but I believe in you, Tianming, one day you will truly understand this truth." Tianming nodded firmly and resentfully, and responded in a sonorous tone, "Well! I promise you, uncle .”

Then, Gai Nie and Tian Ming also hurriedly chased the large army.

The group of people had walked for about half a stick of incense when Tianming began to hear some faint rumbling sounds, which was very noisy.

"What is this sound?" he couldn't help but asked curiously.

Thieves Zhi dodged and suddenly ran to his side, grinning and saying, "You'll know when you get there."

Seeing his mysterious look, Tianming couldn't help but turn his head and ignore him, and walked forward quickly.

He wanted to see what novelty it could be.

As the distance got closer, the roar grew stronger. By the time Tianming and others saw the source of the sound clearly, the huge noise made it difficult for them to hear any other sounds around them.

The dim and scorching dusk sunlight shines into the interior of the mountain through the huge hole, and along with it, there is a clear and thick mountain spring waterfall.

Under the acceleration of gravity, the clear and colorless spring water is full of potential energy, and falls heavily on the underground river under the cavity, splashing clusters of white water and making a huge noise at the same time.

Looking at the beautiful picture in front of him that was created by nature... and perhaps also had some artificial elements, Tianming couldn't help but jog a few steps, get closer, and look up and down carefully.

Then he discovered a massive number of huge machine gears densely covered with underwater rock walls. It was impossible to count them at a glance, especially the underwater part, which was impossible to see clearly.

"Hey, what are all these machine gears used for?"

Tianming has seen many gear sets. After all, Old Man Lu used to have such things in his house, but this is indeed the first time he has seen a giant gear set of this scale.

He couldn't imagine the use of such a huge and almost exaggerated gear set.

Master Ban was currently waving to the Mohist disciples on the other side, gesturing for them to lower the suspension bridge so that he could pass by.

With the intention of teasing the child, Thieves Zhi came closer, deliberately pretending that the noise was too loud and couldn't hear anything, opened his mouth and shouted, "What did you say?"

Tianming had no doubt that it existed, but thought it was just too loud a noise, so he shouted at the top of his lungs, "What are these gears used for?"

"What?" Robber Zhi pretended to be surprised, then waved his hands repeatedly, "No, you can't fish here, and there are basically no fish."

"Huh?" Tianming was stunned, but still didn't think much. While gesturing at the appearance of the gears, he shouted louder and louder, "Let me tell you! What are the gears used for!"

"Not to mention shrimps and crabs!"

"Huh..." Tian Ming took a long breath. He didn't really care about the answer at first, but now he got interested. He continued to gesture and yell and asked again, "Gear! Yes! What are you doing! It's used!"

"You can't swim, you can't swim!" Zhizhi hurriedly put up a blocking stance, "The current here is too strong. If you go down, you will die. Don't try to swim!"

Tianming's eyes darkened, and he staggered a few steps to the side.

Half of it was because of the inflated feet, and half of it was because he roared too hard, and his head was a little short of oxygen.

Seeing Tian Ming's angry and helpless look, Thief Zhi's playful spirit was finally satisfied. He stopped pretending, bent down and leaned into Tian Ming's ear and said:
  "Okay, I won't tease you anymore."

"I don't quite understand these gears. I heard from old man Ban that they are the core of the operation of the machine city. Their function is basically equivalent to our heart."

"It's important anyway."
