Chapter 435: Tragedy caused by obsession
Yu Lingye had heard of the surname Gongshu.
Gongshu Jia was good at mechanical engineering, and his attainments in mechanical engineering were no worse than those of Yan Jia.
Even compared to the Yan family, the Gongshu family was proficient in more and more diverse areas, and their family history was longer.
Unlike the Yan family who lived in seclusion, the Gongshu family was always active in various places.
The construction of countless houses and temples in the Dayu Dynasty, the construction of city walls, and the construction of secret rooms and mechanisms in some wealthy families were all done by Gongshujia.
Yan Qing said, "The man we have imprisoned is called Gongshu Yun. Gongshu Yun is responsible for the maintenance of the entire agency. He is the only one who can control all the agencies on Xiaoyao Island."
"When we occupied Xiaoyao Island, Gongshu Yun used his mechanical skills to fight me and was defeated. We imprisoned him before we successfully occupied the underground city."
"Gongshu Yun was a prominent figure among the younger generation of the Gongshu family. I was surprised to see him come to this isolated island and serve the emperor. After seeing the restored appearance of these bones, I think I know the answer."
The characteristics of the Gongshu family are very obvious.
Their foreheads are higher than those of ordinary people.
When you are in a skeleton state, these small details are easily overlooked.
After Suisui used big data to simulate and restore his original appearance, the high forehead became very obvious.
Gongshu Yun's appearance is at least 80% similar to the person in front of him.
Lu Jiuyuan said, "I will bring Gongshu Yun here."
Gongshu Yun was about thirty-five years old, not tall, and rather thin. He had an ordinary appearance and temperament.
He was so ordinary that when he walked into the crowd no one could tell that he was the heir of the famous Gongshujia.
After Gongshu Yun lost to Yanqing, he was in a depressed mood.
After arriving at the secret room of the corner mechanism, he still kept his head down and ignored everyone.
Yan Qing said, "Gongshu Yun, look up."
"The person you are looking for may be right in front of you."
Gongshu Yun sneered, "You've even found out all this."
"What's the point of investigating? I'm warning you..."
Yan Qing kicked him directly: "Stop talking nonsense, look at the wall."
Gongshu Yun: ...
He looked up and was stunned when he saw the figure projected on the wall.
"Father?"
"Father!"
Gongshu Yun rushed towards the wall.
Not surprisingly, he ran headfirst into a wall.
Gongshu Yun covered his forehead and said, "Yanqing, what are you doing? Where is my father? How did he appear on the wall? Don't play tricks on me. You should know that we who work with mechanical engineering are least afraid of ghosts and gods."
Gongshu Yun roared while touching the shadow on the wall.
The wall is flat and he can only touch the surface.
When he touched the figure, his hand blocked the light and the figure fell onto his hand.
"Yanqing, speak up, what's going on?"
Yan Qing said: "Don't go crazy first."
"Be quiet and listen to me."
Yan Qing simply told Gongshu Yun about the folding mechanism and the white bones.
When Gongshu Yun heard the news that his father had died twenty years ago, his eyes turned red.
"Don't try to trick me."
"My father is not dead, he is still alive, he..."
Yan Qing interrupted him: "Sui Sui restored your father's skull to his appearance when he was alive. I recognized him as your father through the restored image."
"Whether you believe it or not, your father's remains are right here."
Gongshu Yun had already seen the white bones on the bed.
Thinking that those bones were his father, Gongshu Yun did not dare to move forward.
He reached out his hand, wanting to touch.
The hand suddenly stopped when it was only a few centimeters away from the bones.
Gongshu Yun's Adam's apple moved, and his voice was mournful:
"Back then, my father broke three ribs while trying to save me. The ribs injured his lungs, leaving him with a cough and asthma."
"My grandmother is from the Yan family, and my father inherited the Yan family's six fingers."
"His forehead is inherited from the Gongshu family, and it is higher than that of ordinary people."
Gongshu Yun finally mustered up the courage to step forward and gently stroked the bones, tears welling up in his red eyes: "He is indeed my father."
"Father……"
Gongshu Yun knelt on the ground and kowtowed several times: "My son is late."
He calmed himself down and carefully put the bones away.
He looked at Yan Qing.
Yan Qing knew what he wanted to ask, so he handed Gongshu Yun the letter left for him by Yanfu.
After reading the letter from home, Gongshu Yun was stunned for a long time, and suddenly burst into laughter.
"Lost."
"In the end, I lost."
Gongshu Yun laughed while shedding tears: "Uncle Yan was hunted by the emperor and hid in the corner mechanism for three years."
"The mechanical city under Xiaoyao Island had been neglected for a long time and had gradually started to suffer from problems. The emperor had no choice but to ask someone from the Gongshu family to take care of it. This person was my father."
"My father was proud and originally didn't want to come. But when he learned that the trap was created by Uncle Yan, he was determined to challenge Uncle Yan and accepted the emperor's invitation."
"My father disappeared a few years after arriving on Xiaoyao Island."
Based on his understanding of his father's character, he had some guesses.
He just... didn't dare to guess, didn't dare to guess that his father wanted to crack Uncle Yan's mechanism but was trapped by it instead.
Gongshu Yun asked Yan Qing, "This place was once filled with gold, wasn't it?"
Yan Qing nodded.
Gongshu Yun forced a smile that was uglier than crying: "I have roughly guessed the cause of my father's death."
"He discovered the existence of the corner mechanism and successfully opened it, entering Uncle Yan's hiding place."
"He has detected that the corner mechanisms here can lead to anywhere. He tried to crack all the corner mechanisms, but failed."
“When he tried to return the same way, the passage was blocked by gold.”
"He had no choice but to move the gold away, but the gold was piling up much faster than he imagined. He couldn't escape from the mountain of gold, nor could he open the other corner mechanisms. He was trapped here and died."
"he……"
"he……"
Gongshu Yun finally couldn't continue speaking.
He turned his back, his shoulders twitching.
Yan Qing didn't know what to say, so he could only pat Gongshu Yun's shoulder heavily.
Gongshu Yun quickly calmed down.
He solemnly put the bones away and said: "I have found my father, and my wish has been fulfilled."
"You can kill me or chop me up as you please."
Yan Qing: "If we wanted to kill you, we would have killed you long ago. Why would we keep you alive until now?"
"We won't kill you, but we won't let you go either."
"The emperor doesn't know that Xiaoyao Island has been captured. If you go back, you will alert the enemy. Therefore, you must stay on Xiaoyao Island for the time being."
Gongshu Yun had no objection, as he was already a prisoner.
"Thank you," Gongshu Yun said, "We accept defeat wholeheartedly in this competition."
Yan Qing was in mixed mood.
The Yan family and the Gongshu family are both families of mechanical engineers.
Although one of the two families is in seclusion and the other is out in the world, according to convention, they will gather together every five years to compete.
Gongshu Yun's father had challenged his father five times, and each time ended in a miserable defeat.
Gongshu Yun's father refused to accept the defeat, and after repeated defeats, he fought again and again, and defeating his father became his obsession.
This obsession led to tragedy.
