Afterwards, Su Rui meditated in the cave until noon before setting off for Xuanmiao Temple.
He flew low in the sky with the Purple Swan Sword, startling many spiritual birds and beasts, causing chaos. After enjoying a thrilling "speeding", he finally arrived at Dajiaoping safely. Then he tidied up his hair and clothes that were messed up by the wind, and slowly walked into the Xuanmiao Temple and went straight to the Lingguan Temple.
Zhang Beiyang had told him to go to the Lingguan Hall to get a can of strong liquor before going to the Law Enforcement Hall to meet with Uncle Zhou, the law enforcement elder. He dared not forget this. Yuan Ning, a true disciple, and Zhang Beiyang, an inner disciple, had both hinted at Uncle Zhou's difficulty. As a new disciple targeted by them, how could Su Rui dare to be careless?
Arriving at the Lingguan Temple, Su Rui quickly found Zhang Beiyang, who was fiddling with a mechanical figure in a corner. The figure appeared to be made of brass, a golden copper hue that looked clumsy and unadorned in the sunlight. In its left hand, it held a cylindrical device, a hidden weapon or some other. Its right arm, along with half its shoulder, had been neatly severed by a sharp blade, and a small portion of its head had been cut off diagonally. Attached to the outside of each foot were wheels, about a foot in diameter, whose purpose was unknown. A two-finger-wide hole pierced its chest, as if pierced by a sword.
Zhang Beiyang was holding a broken bronze arm that seemed to have been dropped by the mechanical man, and was trying to figure out how to reattach it. Seeing Su Rui coming over, Zhang Beiyang walked over and pulled him towards the mechanical man.
As he walked, he said, "It's all my fault for not explaining it clearly to you yesterday. Uncle Zhou usually sleeps until noon before going to the Law Enforcement Hall to drink, so there's no need to rush over, Junior Brother Su. As for Senior Brother Lin, I already replied to him yesterday. He said you can come over anytime you're free, but Senior Brother Lin is in charge of the External Affairs Hall and is very busy. I suggest you go see him later."
"Okay, I've finished my official duties. Come and see the mechanical man I found..."
The two finally arrived in front of the mechanical man, and Zhang Beiyang's eyes showed unconcealable excitement.
"This copper mechanical man was captured during our swordfight with the Zhushan Cult. However, due to damage to its core, it is no longer usable, which is why I had the opportunity to take it."
"Junior Brother Su, let's repair this mechanical man together!" Zhang Beiyang said with anticipation in his eyes.
Su Rui was actually very curious about this mechanical man, but he had never come into contact with such technological products in this world of gods and demons, so he was a little unsure. So he said to Zhang Beiyang, "Brother Zhang, let me make it clear in advance that I know nine out of ten things about this thing - I know nothing about it. It's okay for me to help you, but if you let me do it, don't blame me if I can't repair it after dismantling it!"
"Don't worry, junior brother. You see, it's already broken. Even if it is dismantled and cannot be merged, the situation will not be worse than it is now!" Zhang Beiyang patted his shoulder, looking as if to reassure him.
"Senior brother, didn't I bring a disciple of Zhushan Sect up the mountain yesterday? Where is he now? He wouldn't have been killed, right?" Su Rui suddenly asked.
"No, I saw my junior sister from the Law Enforcement Hall taking him out yesterday! I don't know what he was assigned to do!" Zhang Beiyang responded, puzzled as to why Su Rui asked this.
"Or... Senior Brother, you can go and find out his whereabouts. After all, he is a member of the Zhushan Sect. Maybe we can ask him how to repair this mechanical man!" Su Rui touched his chin and said with some uncertainty.
Zhang Beiyang slapped his thigh when he heard this, and suddenly realized, "That's right, why didn't I think of asking him?"
"I'll go find someone from the Law Enforcement Hall right now..."
After saying this, he couldn't wait to leave the Lingguan Temple.
"Hey, Senior Brother Zhang, why don't you give me the liquor that I brought with me when I met Senior Uncle Zhou?" Su Rui hurriedly grabbed him and reminded him.
"Oh yeah, look at my memory... hehe!"
Zhang Beiyang slapped his forehead, then ran to the left wing of the Lingguan Temple. In just a few breaths, he came back with a small jar of wine.
"for you!"
He pressed it hard in Su Rui's hand and said in a muffled voice.
Su Rui weighed it and it looked to be about five pounds.
"I bought this Shaodaozi wine from the town at the foot of the mountain. I don't drink it very often. You can take it and give it to Uncle Zhou. Although it's not a good wine, I believe Uncle Zhou will definitely look at you with admiration..." Zhang Beiyang said with an expression that said, "If you trust me, you will be right."
Finally, he muttered, "What a pity there are no Five Poisons. Uncle Zhou likes Five Poisons Wine the most!"
"Five Poisons?" Su Rui thought he had misheard and asked.
"Yes, they are the five poisonous creatures: centipede, venomous snake, scorpion, gecko and toad! As long as we extract the venom of the five poisonous creatures and mix it into the wine, and then use real fire to melt the Shaodaozi wine and the venom together, we can brew the Five Poison Wine with a unique taste. Uncle Zhou likes this one the best!" said Zhang Beiyang.
Su Rui's face looked a little strange when he heard this. He then took out a small cloth bag, reached into it, and pulled out five earthenware jars. He placed them in a row in front of Zhang Beiyang: "Brother Zhang, these are the Five Poison Gu cultivated using the technique of raising Gu worms. Can they be used to brew the Five Poison Wine you mentioned?"
This was the Five Poisons that Hu Mei'e had given him when she taught him how to raise poisonous insects. He had kept them in a small cloth bag and had not been able to use them. When he heard Zhang Beiyang mention the Five Poisons, he remembered their existence.
Zhang Beiyang stared at the five earthenware jars that Su Rui took out, and thought to himself, "How come this kid knows everything and has everything!"
"I don't know if it's possible. I have a junior sister... Never mind. Wait here for a moment. I'll bring her over!"
