Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 554 Entering the Agency City

Master Ben had one hand and one machine hand. He grasped the joystick with familiarity and drove the machine Suzaku to soar between peaks one after another. After a while, he found a smooth rock wall, and then controlled the machine Suzaku and crashed into it without hesitation. Go up.

Yan Lingji saw herself getting closer and closer to the cliff, and couldn't help but remind her:
  "Hey! Old man, look at the road!"

"Hehe!" Master Ban smiled childishly, "Don't worry, trust me, old man, don't move."

Gu Xun had already expected it. He folded his arms and waited for the cliff to open with a calm expression. Seeing that he didn't care at all, Yan Lingji felt relieved. She wouldn't die even if she really collided with him anyway.

Just when the machine Suzaku was about to crash into the cliff, the smooth and flat mountain wall suddenly cracked up and down, revealing a dark hole, and the three of them flew in smoothly.

After the three people entered the cave, the stones outside the cave entrance quickly fell, blocking all light and making the cave pitch black. However, Master Ban did not hit the surrounding stone walls and drove the Suzaku machine with familiarity. But slowed down.

After a few breaths, the light source reappeared in the cave, located at the top, with spots and dense spots of light.

In the darkness, people will naturally capture the light source unconsciously. Yan Lingji discovered something strange above her head and asked curiously, "Is this?"

"Something like a strong crossbow array." Gu Xun glanced at it and guessed, pretending not to understand.

Master Ban's joyful voice also came from the darkness at the right time, "This road is a crossbow gate. It is dotted with mechanical crossbows. It is an array of defense mechanisms built to prevent enemy invasion. If someone invades... Hehe, he will definitely be sieved!"

When Yan Lingji heard that the dense cold light was all crossbow arrows, even with Gu Xun beside her, she couldn't help but get goosebumps, "Eh~"

Crossbows are the lifelong enemy of the Jianghu people. No matter what kind of master they are, they will only feel one thing when facing a military crossbow - disgusting!
  The Mo family's mechanical skills are unparalleled in the world, and the crossbow array they built is definitely no less powerful than the military crossbow. In other words... it's even more disgusting!

Gu Xun found that this time was not like the plot in his memory. Someone came out to tell the secret code. He was surprised and asked:
  "Is there no one watching this place? If so, how can we determine the time to use the strong arrow array?"

"Oh, well, there are people watching. We have to give the password before we can go in and out. But now that the situation between the various factions is relatively peaceful, we are not so nervous and vigilant. We don't arrange manpower to guard us. We will only be strict if the boss orders it. Check." Master Ban explained after hearing Gu Xun's question.

Then he said, "Okay, we're here."

As his voice fell, the sound of the friction and rotation of the machine gears was clearly transmitted to the ears of Gu Xun and Yan Lingji. The squeak of the door shaft was heard not far in front of the machine Suzaku, and the light source opened through The gaps bloomed little by little, lighting up the way forward.

Master Ban controlled the Suzaku mechanism and slowly slid into the gate, landing on a stone platform. After parking the Suzaku, several people finally got off the bird.

After landing, Gu Xun took advantage of the sunlight shining down from the top of the cave to look around, and remembered that this place should be a pool, probably called Mogui Pool.

The platform they were on was slightly higher than half a person's height above the water. Some stalactite pillars were sparsely protruding from the surrounding mountain walls, dripping with water from time to time. Under the water, some giant gears could be vaguely seen rotating and operating, and the sun was shining down. , shining on the moss on the stone wall and the water surface, reflecting a green light, lingering in the cave, setting off the quiet, cool but vibrant place, the scenery is quite good.

Gu Xun raised his head and looked up. He could see that there was a platform on the cave wall about ten feet high, and there was a ship-shaped mechanical elevator hanging on the side of the platform.

"Haha, this place looks pretty good." Yan Lingji also looked at the surrounding scenery and couldn't help but admired it.

Master Ban stroked his beard very proudly and said with a smile, "Not bad, right? Haha."    "This is the Mogui Pond, named after the ancestor Mo Di. He specially designated the entrance and exit of the Guan City here, and also designated this pond as I gave this name because I hope that Mohist disciples in the future can abide by the rules of Mohism and not overstep them at will."

Speaking of this, Master Ban was quite emotional, "Although I have seen it countless times, I still feel very comfortable every time I come back."

Yan Lingji whispered softly after hearing this, "Mo Guichi... are you stuck in the rules? It's really strange for the ancestors of the Mo family to like to restrain people so much?"

At this time, there was the sound of iron chains rubbing against each other from above. When I looked up, I saw that the elevator had been activated and was slowly descending.

Seeing that Gu Xun and Yan Lingji's eyes were attracted by the mechanism elevator, Master Ban quickly introduced:

"This is a cloud boat. It was designed by me, the old man, and is used to carry people up and down."

With that said, Master Ban proudly explained the actual significance of the cloud boat, "The mountain walls here are covered with slippery moss, making it difficult for even experts to climb. If there is no cloud boat to pick up and drop off, even if there are intruders, Once here, it’s difficult to truly enter the city.”

Regarding this statement, Gu Xun and Yan Lingji both said hehe.

If someone really invades here, there is always a way to climb up the cliff of more than ten feet. If someone is not good at qinggong, wouldn't they be able to use some traditional stupid methods?

After Gu Xun heard the name of this elevator, he understood why it was designed to look like a ship. It turned out to be to fit the name...

"So... wouldn't it be better to just call it an elevator, Master Ban?" Gu Xun couldn't hold back and suggested bluntly.

"Uh...haha..." Master Ban was stunned by this question, and then showed an awkward smile.

The lift...the name is apt, and the functions are directly expressed, but...

"Doctor Gu, the name you proposed is a bit too... rigid and mechanical, no, no!"

Gu Xun didn't try to argue. It's up to others to call their inventions what they want, but...he glanced sideways at Master Ban - you are an old bachelor in science and engineering who has become a fool even Xiao Zuo, and you still pursue elegance when choosing a name. ridiculous!
  Master Ban pretended not to feel Gu Xun's strange and malicious eyes, and quietly watched the lift...the cloud boat fell.

As the cloud boat landed in front of the three of them, a familiar figure also came into their eyes. It was Jing Ke who was holding a sword in one hand and a wine gourd in the other.

He waved the wine gourd and greeted everyone:
  "Hi, Master Ben, Mr. Gu, and Miss Yan Lingji, long time no see!"

The latter sentence was obviously only meant for Gu Xun and the two of them.

　It feels very painful. When I first designed Duan Murong's time, I took into account the long span, so I decided to make it a little girl. Now that I have compressed the time, her age has been pulled down...

　　According to the plot in the book, she hasn't even gotten haircut yet, but Xue Nu has already danced on stage and is a famous dancer. The key is that Xue Nu is called Sister Duan Murong!

　　Ashley!
