Chapter 449 Godfather, you are from the Mo family
"There are four major countries in the Central Plains. Apart from Xiling, which stays out of the disputes, Dongpu, Nansang and Beixiang all have ambitions to compete for the Central Plains and unify the world. Although the other small and medium-sized countries are either dependent or suppressed, they are also waiting for opportunities to turn things around. In fact, all the countries have always had their own ulterior motives, so it is not surprising to see any conspiracy behind the scenes." When it was not related to her son, the eldest princess spoke very clearly and logically.
She looked around her with a gentle gaze.
The old man Du, the head of the Bai Kui family, the owner of the Wangque Tower, and a group of children are all Yu'er's friends and partners, and the relationship between them is better than that of family.
Yu'er trusts them, so she naturally trusts them too.
Although she didn't spend a long time with them, she knew their temperaments and personalities from the little details in their daily life.
The princess smiled and continued, "I wonder if you've heard of the Divine Weapon Diagram. It's the most precious treasure of the Mohist school, and the Mohist school has been renowned for its superb mechanical skills for hundreds of years.
According to legend, the Magic Weapon Diagram was left by the ancestors of the Mohist school. Behind it was hidden a magic weapon. Whoever obtained this magic weapon could rule the world.
Unfortunately, the Mohist school declined, and the Divine Weapon Map fell into the hands of others. Various countries flocked to it, sparking disputes many times, causing wars in the Central Plains for more than ten years, and all countries suffered heavy losses...
Once the Central Plains was in chaos, foreign enemies naturally watched covetously. Forced by the situation, the countries had to sit down and negotiate. The final result of the negotiations was to tear the map of the magic weapon into pieces and divide it equally among the countries.
This is how the war was quelled, and the nations began to recuperate and maintain superficial peace with each other for decades."
"But in reality, no one has truly extinguished their ambitions." Bai Xiaofeng's eyelids half-drooped, a hint of sarcasm in his eyes. "Since they couldn't gather the Divine Weapon Diagram, they dug up the secrets behind it, bribed Mohist traitors, and attempted to create a fake one. Hence, those iron men."
"Yes, someone is repeatedly stirring up trouble, trying to stir up further conflict. This shows that the person behind this is already sharpening their knives to fight for the throne, and that person must be confident of winning—" The princess paused, then looked at Bai Xiaofeng in surprise with wide eyes. "Xiaofeng, you just said that you were digging up secrets to bribe traitors. What inside information do you know?"
The royal family of a great country knows much more secrets than ordinary people, but what Xiaofeng just said was something she, the eldest princess, had never heard of.
Xiaofeng said that someone tried to create a fake, doesn't that mean he knows what the real magic weapon is?
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the man in the moon robe sitting by the window, staring at him until his scalp tingled.
Bai Xiaofeng, “…” Grass.
He knew that too much talk would lead to mistakes.
Why is he talking for no reason?
Du Buqin was dissatisfied with the man's pretense of being stupid. He moved closer and his old face almost touched the tip of the man's nose. His triangular eyes met his snake-like eyes, and he smiled with a fake smile. "Xiaobai, Changdong, you said you only know this little bit. Do you think we believe you?"
Bai Xiaofeng's mouth twitched, and he pushed the old man's head away with his long arm. "Who are you trying to bully with? Did I say I only know the basics?"
"Then why don't you tell me the truth!"
“…”
"Well, just tell me. After all these years, you're still being so distant?" Bai Kui didn't move forward. He sat beside the low table, smiling broadly, as if listening attentively. "If you really act like this, you'll chill the children's hearts."
Bai Xiaofeng wanted to kick the man who was secretly adding fuel to the fire into the river.
No wonder he was able to marry the queen. I underestimated Old Bai before!
After glancing at the younger generations who were obviously full of gossip but did not speak to urge him, Bai Xiaofeng opened the jade fan and fanned himself a few times to clear his head.
"I'm doing this for the children's sake!" He first uttered a harsh word to comfort himself, then said with a sour face, "I haven't seen the magic weapon with my own eyes, but I've heard the elders talk about it. You've all seen those iron men. The magic weapon looks like that, a human head with an iron body.
The difference between the genuine product and the fake is that the genuine product is a dead object. The secret technique developed by the Mohists allows them to retain their residual consciousness before death, keep their flesh and blood from rotting, and move as nimbly as a living person.
What remains in the counterfeit is only a breath of life. Once it is successfully fabricated, it can only be called a living dead.
Because the Mohist technique of making magic weapons is a family forbidden technique, a strict order was issued a hundred years ago that future generations are no longer allowed to inherit it.
The forbidden technique Chu Tianxing secretly learned through unorthodox methods was incomplete, and even if he learned it, he would only be half-baked and unable to replicate the divine weapon at all."
After a pause, he curled his lips into a sarcastic smile again, "Those iron men he created are just puppets controlled by the brain worm. They are just the skin of the brain worm."
"Brain worm?!" The audience, young and old, said in unison, their desire for an explanation even stronger.
Bai Xiaofeng's face turned even uglier. He kept talking, "The Mo family ancestors used the blood marrow extracted from the brain of a divine weapon to nourish a kind of worm. Initially, they used this worm on deceased members of the clan, allowing them to continue to live in this way. However, the blood marrow and brain worm were stolen decades ago. Now I think it was Chu Tianxing who did it. He had already been bribed by then."
As the man told the story, the secrets of the Mohist school were gradually revealed in front of everyone, which was astonishing and amazing.
Su Wu's expression was as dreamy as if he were in a dream. "I never thought there would be such a method in the world. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes and heard it with my own ears, I would never have believed it!"
"It's truly astonishing, but also truly cruel," the princess sighed. "Those divine soldiers retained some consciousness. I wonder if they can think and act like living people? If so, how would they feel knowing what they've become? When I die of old age, I only wish to be buried in peace. I don't want to live like a walking corpse with a bug on my body."
The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. The old lady hurriedly grabbed her son and solemnly instructed him, "Yu'er, I don't ask for a long life. It's enough for me to see you get married, build a career, and enjoy a happy family. When I'm gone one day, you must see me to a burial place and don't let anyone put bugs on me!"
Bai Yu, "..."
Everyone, “…”
The poisonous old man comforted her, "Don't panic, sister. Even if you want to release the bugs, your son can't do it. Those bugs are hard to find!"
The eldest princess was relieved.
The veins on Bai Xiaofeng's forehead were throbbing with joy.
"Uncle Changdong, Chu Tianxing is dead. Where did the bugs he stole go? Were they taken away by the people who killed him?" Little Wheat Ear still had questions.
Bai Xiaofeng said, "Chu Tianxing would never tell anyone about his special abilities. This secret is known only to a few people in the Mohist School, and no one outside of the Mohist School knows about it. Even though he died, his blood, marrow, and worms were not taken away."
"That--"
"I burned it."
“…”
Bai Yu's peach blossom eyes curved, and he acted as if he was surprised. "Oh! Godfather, so you are from the Mo family."
"..." Bai Xiaofeng couldn't sit still any longer. He stood up and walked out, swearing angrily, "Shut up! Otherwise, I'll kill you all!"
We can't stay here any longer.
If he sits there any longer, all his secrets will be exposed!
All of these bastards are so smart!
