Chapter 9 Heavenly Works (5)

When Chief Craftsman Wei spoke, he must combine the talisman mechanism to test within five days, the talisman Taoist priests were all in agitation.

There are more than a dozen test stone platforms that have been burned these days, but the actual progress is not great. No matter how you arrange the fire talismans, they will not meet the expected requirements. In the end, they will end up with the collapse of the talisman array. When you are on this test stone platform, you can still see the control at any time, and there are also the prepared water talismans to prevent danger. Once you are really installed on the mechanism to test, it will be different. You cannot observe the changes in the talismans at the first time. Without the protection of the water talismans, once you wait until the extremely thick fire secret medicine explodes completely, it is no less powerful than a fire talisman. To ensure that the talismans are running, at least one or two people must be controlled by them.

"No, this is too dangerous. Do you really think our lives are worthless? No matter what, you cannot install it on the machine to test before debugging the talisman."

Ignoring the strong opposition from the Feilong Taoist and others, Chief Craftsman Wei just opened his red eyes and said dryly: "A pure talisman test is different from the ones that are actually installed on the mechanism. Maybe with the power of the mechanism to promote the fire to help the fire moves, it can be better controlled. Now that time is too tight, it can no longer be tested so slowly."

"No. You just said it yourself. If you put it in the mechanism to operate, then if something happens, the people around you will be in danger of life."

Chief Craftsman Wei was unmoved, but just silently said harshly: "If you can succeed, the most rewarding one will be rewarded with 5,000 taels of gold! Each of the rest will have 1,000 taels!"

Several Taoist priests of the talisman couldn't help but feel a stir again and looked at each other. Five thousand taels of gold, not to mention whether they had seen it or not, many people had never thought about such a huge sum of money. In the world, I don't know how many men are willing to carry their heads for the five thousand taels of gold to walk through the dangerous roads that will last forever.

But the few people here know that if you really need to force the machine to test as the old man said, this danger is even more dangerous than the nine-death and one life. No matter how tempting gold is, you have to have life to use it. Feilong Taoist took a few breaths, but shook his head and said, "Forget it, Dao Ye doesn't have this fortune. Whoever you have the ability should go. I'd better go back to sleep in the dilapidated temple and eat safely."

"I am not very knowledgeable, but I really can't afford to eat this food." Xiningzi bowed. He really wanted to give up a long time ago.

The two wild Taoist priests who came with Xiningzi thought for a moment and also expressed their withdrawal. Only Taoist Sanshan and the old man named Zhang did not speak out, as if they were having other ideas.

"... Are you really quit?" Chief Craftsman Wei did not show any irritable emotions. In the past two days, the old man has calmed down instead, as if the anxiety and energy in his body have all ejaculated. He seemed to be a bit gloomy and strange, just staring at his eyes full of blood and eye boredom, swaying behind them. At this time, the voice sounded a little gloomy and weird. "Okay...we can't force it either..."

Taoist Feilong, who had always been very dissatisfied with Chief Craftsman Wei, glared: "What? What does your old man mean by this tone? Do you Shenjitang still want to..."

"Wait a minute." Xiao Xia, who had not spoken, raised his hand and said loudly. "Please don't leave in panic, please stay and help me with my help."

Taoist Feilong turned around and glared at him and said, "Oh? Brother Wei, are you reluctant to give up the five thousand taels of gold? Although this reward is tempting, your life is important."

Xiao Xia sighed and said, "I want wealth and honor in danger. If you don't try this great opportunity, you will be a rare opportunity in the future. I'm sure you have some ideas in your mind these days. Maybe you will have the opportunity to make this talisman."

"Oh? Take it seriously?" Everyone present was shocked, especially Chief Craftsman Wei was even more shocked. The red light emitted from his eyes looked like a wolf who had been hungry for a month. Taoist Feilong asked anxiously: "Brother Wei, how sure are you?"

"If you don't say too much, you will be at least 40% sure. However, when drawing this talisman, you must have the joint efforts of fellow Taoists. Please rest assured that when you put it in the machine for experimentation, I will control the operation and prevent you from taking risks."

Taoist Feilong and the other person looked at each other, and they were obviously very moved. If it was as Xiaoxia said that there were four levels of confidence, it was really worth a try. Moreover, Xiaoxia also said that he would control it himself during the experiment and not allow others to take risks.

The most excited person was Mr. Wei. The old man jumped up and rushed forward with the teenagers, twisting Xiaoxia, and asked anxiously: "What you said is true? Don't lie! Can you really be 40% sure? Why didn't you say it before?"

Xiao Xia sang the collar that was twisted by Chief Craftsman Wei: "Well, my idea has only gradually become clear through the past two days of experiments. It still needs to be practiced. Seeing that fellow Taoist Feilong and others were leaving, I spoke to keep him."

"Hahaha, it's okay, it's okay, as long as you have an idea, it's good. Brother Wei's mind is brilliant, his achievements in talismans are extraordinary, and he is cautious. It's normal for him to have an idea in this emergency..." Taoist Sanshan was haha, and he blew the Taoist Feilong and others to see you know.

"Haha, that's right, as long as there is a way, there is a need to try it. Since Brother Wei spoke, we are naturally willing to stay and help him..." Taoist Feilong also laughed. He didn't know where Fei was going. Now he really felt that Brother Wei Feng was so smart that he had to drag things out until this time that he said that the gold offered for the reward was doubled. "The sign of Shenjitang resounded across the country. I hope Chief Craftsman Wei would not smash it. What he said just now must count..."

Chief Craftsman Wei didn't seem to hear what the Feilong Taoist said. Even if he heard it, he didn't seem to care at all. His eyes were full of boredom and bloodshot eyes staring at Xiao Xia, which was more attentive, serious and intimate than a pervert who hadn't seen a woman in ten years. This kind of vision made Xiao Xia, who had been tested in various dangers of life and death, get goose bumps.

###

After Chief Craftsman Wei reported the matter, the Lord Zeng Jiuwen seemed overjoyed and immediately ordered his full cooperation to start the trial production. Various talisman materials were sent continuously, and there were twenty or thirty servants who were ready to help at any time. They prepared them with exquisite and delicious food and drinks alone, and they no longer had to go to the canteen to eat steamed buns and drink rice porridge with others. What's even more exaggerated is that dozens of machine beasts of various sizes were sent to patrol around Xiaoxia and the others' residences and workshops. All people close to them must be strictly examined.

"What does this mean? We are strictly protected as peerless treasures?" Taoist Feilong and others couldn't help but laugh. The Shenjitang seemed to have overreacted, but he was just a little sure of solving their problem, and suddenly made the scene so nervous.

Among the several Taoist priests of the talisman, only Xiningzi, whose pseudonym was Guangningzi, seemed to notice something. Her face turned a little blue, but she didn't dare to show it. She just forced a smile and hit her a few times, and looked at Xiaoxia with an inquiring look.

Xiao Xia just smiled faintly without caring about it, as if this was not something worth caring about. In the following time, he focused all his energy and thoughts on the design of the talisman formation he mentioned.

In fact, this is not a very difficult thing. Although the people in Shenjitang racked their brains for this, they offered a high reward of thousands of taels of gold, and even their own people were forced to go crazy, in terms of Taoism itself, this is really not very difficult.

Compared to the Tianhuo Sect's extremely fire purgatory cover that several miles in diameter, it seems to be able to cover the world, the heaven and earth furnace array that melts out ancient spiritual objects, and many other incredible fire-action magic. The fire-control talisman formation that Shenjitang wants to create is like a joke, at most it requires a high level of precision in controlling the fire-action element. Needless to say, the elders who can transform into fire at any time, even the Jingzhou that Xiaoxia knew before

The old Taoist Mo Li, who secretly sold talismans for profit, might be able to do it. However, the Tianhuo Sect has disappeared now. All the classics, treasures, and cultivators with slightly more profound cultivation have been burned in Tianhuo Mountain for the ultimate fire. The Taoist sect of this sect has been completely lost, and the branches in various places have been in name only, and the Jingzhou branch sank into the volcano six years ago. Therefore, this is not difficult Fire Taoism has become a huge problem.

There are also people who can overcome the key threshold of Fire-Performing Spells to solve this problem, such as the Shenshui Palace. However, they also understand that Shenji Hall is in the current situation and will never come to wade into this muddy water. As for He Jinzhi, a Taoist master like Zhang Tianshi of Longhu Mountain, it is not Shenji Hall, and it is not something that can be used to rely on gold and silver to help. Now they can only rely on the talisman Taoist priests who have learned some five elements magic to complete this. It is indeed a bit difficult for people to do it.

Fortunately, Xiao Xia is still there. Whether he understands the magic and formations of the Tianhuo Sect, and his cultivation experience in talismans, he is far from comparable to other talisman Taoists. What he said before is actually just because he is afraid that others will not believe it and say it lowered his mind. He is at least 80% true, but he is unwilling to attract attention, so he has been hiding his humbleness until now. But now it seems that only by completing this talisman mechanism can he have further access to various possibilities behind the scenes.

In the next three days, Xiao Xia only tried four times and completely controlled the burning of the fire secret medicine on the stone platform where the talisman was drawn.

On the stone platform, dazzling fire light flowed rapidly, but it no longer splashed around aimlessly as before. Instead, under the stimulation of the talisman, a rotating fireball condensed in the air. The outer layer and below are the talisman light connected to the talisman array, forming a semi-circular cover of light to support the fireball. It looks completely different from the previous situation of the fire flowing around.

Taoist Feilong and Taoist Sanshan looked at him, and their eyes couldn't help but show their relief and joy. Not to mention the gold that was offered, they finally managed to overcome the problem of racking their brains before, which made people feel relaxed and happy. They couldn't help but exclaim: "So that's it, so that's it. It's not that they forced the power of the talisman to suppress it, but that they nested several layers of talisman arrays together and acted together, using the fire element power of the Fire Elements of the Secret Medicine itself to drive the lowest level of talismans, and then progressed layer by layer, and continued to cycle... Brother Wei's idea was indeed unique, and he admired it. After seeing this talisman array, he realized that our previous silly power was used."

Nothing is stupid, it is stupid and lacks strength. Those talismans are simply piled up randomly based on the feeling of some laymen. It would be strange if they are really useful. I feel a little disagreeable, and Xiao Xia still has to be modest: "Where is where. If there are no previous discussions and research by several fellow Taoists, I can't think of these methods, brother."

In a good mood, the bounty seemed to be expected. Feilong Taoist and others were also very happy and praised: "From Brother Wei's previous statement that he borrowed the power of the Water-Practice Dharma from the Shenshui Palace to overcome fire with water. It can be seen that Brother Wei is quick-minded and does not stick to the rules, and is extremely talented in the way of talismans. If you create any good talismans in the future, don't forget to tell the brothers."

"Fellow Taoist praises, the talisman array is just a skill of stacking together and running in with each other. It is just a small path after all, and it is not worth mentioning." Xiao Xia answered casually. He carefully checked again that the operation of the talisman array was indeed without any flaws. He raised his hand and touched the smallest talisman on the corner of the stone platform. The fire secret medicine at the source stopped flowing out, and the dazzling fire ball hanging on the stone platform gradually became smaller and finally extinguished.

This officially announced that the experiment of the fire control talisman array was perfectly over. The Feilong Taoist Sanshan Taoist and others were all celebrating. Chief Craftsman Wei, who was standing in the distance, also walked over with a smile. Things were going smoothly, and the old man's spirit was back, his eyes were no longer red, and he no longer crawled around in a crazy manner. However, he even urged them to tighten his eyes and eat and sleep, and he almost had to follow them when going to the toilet. When he had this talisman test, he could not use talismans to protect himself, so he stood away without any precautions.

"What nonsense? Why is the skills of stacking and patching together and running in is a small path? Do you have to learn from the idiots in the Tianhuo Sect who are too ambitious and unrealistic to pursue the supreme path, so that the whole family will die and die, which is the right way?" After strode, Chief Craftsman Wei shouted loudly first, obviously he heard what Xiao Xia said just now.

Xiao Xia smiled, but she didn't expect that this mechanism technique was originally a pile of running-in technique. The old man was immersed in it all his life, obviously very proud of it, and he would definitely not accept these words.

"Very good. This preliminary experiment has been completed. Then, the talisman is engraved on the machine for on-site drills." Chief Craftsman Wei carefully looked at the remaining traces of the talisman on the stone platform. "How long will it take to engrave this set of talismans on the machine?"

"It depends on the material of the mechanism and the requirements for talismans. If you want to use it for a longer time, you will naturally have to spend more energy. Even if we work together, we will not be able to escape in ten days or half a month..." Taoist Feilong was the first to answer. There is no trick to tell the skill of seal carving, and no matter how skilled he is, it will take hard work.

Chief Craftsman Wei waved his hand impatiently: "Don't be too fine, just try whether this talisman can run smoothly on the mechanism."

"That would take three or four days. The material of the mechanism is no better than this white stone slab that is only used once."

"Three or four days... Humph, it's probably the same." A hint of hostility flashed in Chief Marshal Wei's eyes, and he snorted heavily, which made the people around him feel a little puzzled. Then he looked at Xiao Xia and asked, "Can you please speak with a step?"

"It's all right. Please, Chief Craftsman." Xiao Xia nodded and followed Chief Craftsman Wei. The Taoist Sanshan next to him rubbed his fingers and silently made a "silver" mouth shape, indicating that he should not forget to remind him of the reward he had agreed to before, and then cut it in vain. Obviously, he thought Chief Craftsman Wei wanted to lose the amazing price added in a hurry, or at least he would have to cut the price.

Xiao Xia nodded perfunctorily. He could probably guess what Chief Craftsman Wei wanted to say, and it shouldn't be this.

Sure enough, following the craftsman of Wei to a remote place, the old man said, "Although I don't understand the talismans very well, I have seen some tricks these days. The methods you have come up with the talismans that you have come up with are actually quite common with the talismans. For example, you can activate the burning power of the secret medicine of the fire movement into a vortex circle. In the dynasty, the circular rotation force is indeed the most labor-saving and controllable... In addition, the connection between the talismans is in harmony and interconnected, and there are also some rivetings between the parts of the mechanism. Although you Taoist priests have common problems of being too ambitious and think these are small techniques, but I tell you that the mystery is actually profound..."

After Balabala talked about the art of mechanisms, Chief Craftsman Wei finally said what he really wanted to say: "...Master Wei Feng is willing to join my Shenji Hall? The bounty I promised before was a lot of money, and there will only be more in the future. I have been operating the Shenji Hall for many years, and there is still no shortage of money. And according to me, this art of combining mechanisms and Taoist arts has great potential in the future. To be honest, I have a major project in my Shenji Hall in the near future, and the Taoist priest's talent may be of great use..."

Xiao Xia smiled. These words were as expected. The purpose of his drawing of the talisman formation was actually for this. However, he shook his head and said, "...Silver is of course good, but I am still used to the free days..."

Hearing Xiao Xia's words, Chief Craftsman Wei suddenly became anxious. The feeling of being speechless a few days ago came back a little, and he opened his mouth and flew up: "Master Wei Feng, don't mislead yourself! What kind of Taoist sect's purity and inaction escape from the world are all self-deception nonsense! If you really want to purify yourself and jump into the river and commit suicide, why bother living in the world and wasting food? Shouldn't a man make achievements and make a name for himself? What we Shenji Hall is going to do this is a great achievement that is unprecedented! If the Taoist sect enters it, it will be easy to achieve success and achieve gold and silver beauty. Maybe this way of talisman mechanism is carried out to develop a different way to establish a sect and become a Taoist ancestral! "

Xiao Xia was really stunned when she heard it: "...Gui...What exactly should Guitang do?"

Chief Craftsman Wei lowered his voice, his expression mysterious and solemn, as if he was telling a world-class secret, and slowly spoke out word by word: "...We are carrying out a big plan that is enough to change the world and to set the prosperity of humanity for thousands of years. The name of this plan is - 'Tiangong'!"

"Tiangong?"

"Yes, God - craftsman!" Chief Craftsman Wei said these two words, which was a hundred times more pious than the most devout Buddhists who said Tathagata Buddha, and the most devout Taoist children who said Taishang Laojun.
