Trinity Traitor: From One Person to the Other

Chapter 272 Momen
In the world of extraordinary people, there are two ways to use Qi to utilize external objects.

Using Qi to bless external objects and use it to control them is called controlling objects; using Qi to enhance the strength and ability of the object itself is called transforming objects.

There is another type that is independent of these two, and even has its own specialized profession and school, and that is weapon refining.

The magical instruments made by the weapon refiner move according to the will, are more in line with the owner's Qi, and can produce more different effects.

But within the category of "weapon refining", there are still two branches.

That is, the mechanism and the refining of equipment.

They are also made of physical objects, fed with Qi and the mind, making them powerful objects that can be controlled by people. There is a big difference between mechanisms and refining equipment.

So far, whether it is the Shen Ji refining method passed down by the Wu Hou School, or the Guan Yuan and Wu Shao Jia refining methods of the Tang Sect, or even the Shen Ji Bai Lian of the Eight Wonders, they all directly refine and control an object with Qi.

Even Ruhua, which Ma Xianhong had refined with the Divine Machine, was called a "puppet" rather than a "mechanical man". It was called a puppet because it needed someone to control it. It might not need to be controlled all the time, but it still needed to be injected with Qi to move.

But the difference between a mechanism is that it uses precise and complex parts that are cleverly connected to allow it to operate on its own.

What the mechanism values ​​more is the coordination between parts to produce unexpected effects, rather than simply pursuing the powerful energy of the magic weapon.

Ma Benzai and Ma Xianhong should know mechanical arts, but they are obviously only auxiliary and not mainstream. In the whole book, the only person who is mentioned as using mechanical arts as the main means of cultivation is the number one evildoer in Quanxing, Liang Ting, the "White Owl" who is proficient in both talismans and mechanical arts.

Judging from the fighting, his body was no longer a complete flesh body, but had been transformed into a part of a machine. The fact that the demon sword could cut his flesh but could not penetrate deeply was proof of this.

Although Liang Ting looks quite fat, he does not know how to do horizontal training.

Because all methods of body training start from the outside and work their way in. There is no reason why the inside is harder than the outside. It is very simple. Horizontal training is ultimately used for fighting. In a fight, your internal organs are very hard, but your flesh can be easily cut. What will happen in the end? Only your internal organs and muscles will be left to fight with others?

"White Owl" is a grandmaster who is proficient in mechanical devices and talismans, but not a grandmaster of horizontal training.

The old man in front of him only dared to cut off arms, chop off legs and dig out eyeballs, which was cruel enough. However, Liang Ting, as a pervert, dared to hollow out half of his body and transform it into a mechanism.

"I say, among you guys who play with machines, is there no normal person?"

He Songling curled his lips as he looked at the mechanical parts on the old man's body, feeling his sanity dropping wildly, "Even if you take someone else's corpse and transform it into a mechanical man, isn't that better than this?"

"Hey, that's ridiculous. If you change someone else's body or corpse without permission, wouldn't that be considered as the work of the devil? We are not Quan Xing. The Mo Sect is a famous and upright sect that has been passed down for more than 2,000 years since the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and the Warring States Period. We despise such an act!"

The old man said righteously: "As a mechanical engineer, it is very common to remove your limbs and replace them with mechanical devices, isn't it?"

"Yes, I understand." He Songling nodded, "It makes sense. Flesh and blood are weak, and machines can ascend. I can understand your pursuit."

Maybe we have overestimated Liang Ting. Perhaps the strange snake-like tentacles that came out of his body and the mechanical technique "Ink Tendons and Soft Bones" that was lost with his death were not made by him by hollowing out his internal organs, but might have been done by his master during his tragic childhood.

Of course, it is also possible that his master only transformed him halfway, and later as his strength gradually increased and his personality gradually became perverted, he made a more evil transformation himself. In short, these mechanical masters are all perverts.

"Flesh and blood are weak, but machines can ascend?" The old man recited it once, and then kept repeating it as if he had discovered a new continent. The more he recited, the brighter his eyes became, and the more excited he became.

"Okay, okay, okay, okay! Fellow Daoist, your eight words fully describe the pursuit of a mechanical engineer. Thank you, fellow Daoist. From now on, my lineage of mechanical engineers has a clear pursuit and path! Put me down and I will kowtow to you."

"Don't do that. What if you use that device of yours to attack me again?" He Songling remained unmoved and continued with a look of contempt:

"That's indeed a good path, but it's completely different from what you're doing now. Besides, you have to hurt yourself to learn about machinery. Haven't you ever considered making a big mechanical man and then having a person sit inside to control it?"

"No." Master Zhang Xuan and his disciple shook their heads at the same time.

People cannot imagine things they have never seen. This is not a problem of someone's intelligence being insufficient. The development of the times is accompanied by the development of productivity and the progress of the entire world.

No matter how famous or powerful a sect is, it is impossible for the imagination of one or two people or dozens of people in a sect to be compared with the entire era of changes in productivity over one or two hundred years.

This is the case with the Mohist School. Although it existed in the ancient pre-Qin period, and was even one of the two most prominent schools of thought at the time, the experience gained thousands of years ago can only be regarded as experience.

"Come and see this."

He Songling used divine painting to draw the Dragon God, Magic King, Gundam and Iron Man.

"Oh shit!" After roughly explaining the principle, the leader of the Mo Sect started to lie on the ground again.

"My fellow Taoist, great hero, please let me up, quickly, I will kowtow to you. What's wrong with your brain? How could you think of such a great thing?"

"I just plagiarized others." He Songling waved his hand, "But even if you can make these things, how can you break through the problem of materials?"

"It's simple. We in Mo Sect are not only good at making mechanisms, we can also make tools. Of course, our tools are weaker than those shameless guys in Tiangong Hall, but as long as they can support the strength of the mechanism, it's enough."

The head of the Mo Sect said confidently: "Other things may not be easy to make. As for your Dragon God, the total height is only a little over three meters. I am sure there will be no problem making a simplified version of this thing."

"Okay, once you've built it, give me a set, and we'll let it go today as you've built it illegally."

He Songling nodded and said, "But there is one thing. When you do things in the future, you should pay more attention to your surroundings. There are people around you. Use less devices that may bring danger to the surroundings. What if ordinary people are hurt? Ordinary people's lives are not lives, right? If you don't change, I will beat you to death."

"Ah, what the hell? Our ancestors' teachings are to love all and not to attack. How could we possibly attack ordinary people?"

The head of the Mo Sect objected strongly, "How can you be ordinary people? Even if I can't recognize you, can I recognize the Longhu Mountain Taoist robe he is wearing?"
