Inside the fairly spacious bronze space, Gongshu Chou used mechanical techniques to squeeze out several cups of fresh juice.
Then, he began to speak: "Master Fuyao, and the two from the Yin Yang School, please have some juice."
After Gongshu Chou finished speaking, the mechanical arm placed the bronze tripod cup in front of the three of them.
Zhang Bairen clicked his tongue in amazement and caught the small bronze cauldron on the mechanical arm.
"The Imperial Advisor's mechanical skills are truly breathtaking!" Zhang Bairen exclaimed.
"Hehehe, it's just a small trick, not worth mentioning at all. Master Fuyao, you flatter me," Gongshu Chou said with a smile.
“This is no small trick. Our journey has been so easy, all thanks to your ingenious mechanisms,” Zhang Bairen replied casually.
No one accompanied them on this trip except for the four people present.
All the arrangements, all the preparations, and all the troops were located within the border city.
Therefore, the four of them traveled light, riding on Gongshu Chou's bronze mechanical beast, and their journey was quite comfortable despite the relatively fast speed.
The mechanical beast is based on a large pangolin, and the four people are located on the pangolin's belly.
The massive bronze pangolin is not only adaptable to various terrains but can also burrow underground, making it an important mechanical beast in the search for Loulan.
Moreover, this rapid journey only consumed natural energy.
According to Gongshu Chou, when the bronze pangolin is activated, it can move normally with the help of natural wind.
The person controlling the mechanical beast only needs to control its direction.
This made Zhang Bairen even more impressed by the wonder of the mechanical arts in this world.
Indeed, technology changes lives!
Enjoying the convenience brought by the mechanical beast, Zhang Bairen fell in love with this ingenious creature.
Traveling while lying down is definitely more enjoyable than riding a horse; that's an undeniable fact.
"Grand Preceptor, the mechanical skills of your Gongshu family are indeed unparalleled in the world!"
"I completely agree with Master Fuyao's words," Da Siming chimed in.
Gongshu Chou replied with a smile, appearing very amiable.
Only Shao Siming remained silent, cultivating in quietude.
Zhang Bairen glanced at Shao Siming, who was wearing a veil, and then looked away.
In the web game, Shao Siming's older brother is a disciple of the Taoist Tianzong sect. He infiltrated the Yin-Yang school for five years in order to find his younger sister.
Then, after discovering his younger sister, he also fell into the trap set by the Yin-Yang School.
In the end, for the sake of his sister, the Tianzong disciple volunteered to die and was personally killed by Shao Siming.
Zhang Bairen didn't want to say much about this.
Because this is just a background story for a web game, it may not be accurate.
Moreover, Zhang Bairen didn't have the time or inclination to concern himself with Shao Siming's affairs.
Her brother volunteered to die, and she herself did not ask for help; it was all their own choice.
The Taoist Tianzong school believes that since life and death are as natural as the Spring and Autumn Annals, there is no need for sorrow or joy.
The Taoist path of cultivation requires selflessness, merging with heaven and earth, and transcending all emotions, thus becoming unemotional.
Their ruthlessness stems from a selfless detachment after witnessing the vicissitudes of life, not from a lack of appreciation for life.
Although Zhang Bairen did not reach that level, he did indeed take a very detached view of life and death in the world.
Of course, reaching the ultimate state of ruthlessness is probably very difficult.
While cheating is exhilarating, it's precisely because it's so exhilarating that Zhang Bairen lost the opportunity and the chance to achieve selflessness and ruthlessness.
However, Zhang Bairen did not regret it.
The ideas of the Heavenly School and the Human School are both Daoist theories that have undergone polarization.
True Taoist thought should combine the concepts of both schools, rather than keeping them clearly distinct.
If one reaches a state of ruthlessness and selflessness, can one still be considered oneself?
Zhang Bairen lacked the necessary understanding to comprehend this situation.
Several days later, the bronze pangolin arrived at the border city.
Zhang Bairen, accompanied by Shao Siming, took out the imperial edict from his person and took control of the troops.
Gongshu Chou, accompanied by the Grand Master of Fate, went to the Gongshu family's workshop and instructed his clansmen and disciples to prepare for their journey to the desert.
The soldiers sealed off the city.
The members of the Gongshu family began to move drinking water and supplies.
Zhang Bairen led the three men to the residence of the Loulan envoy.
Many years ago, a traitor appeared in Loulan. This traitor stole Loulan's most precious treasure - the Dragon Soul!
Then, Loulan sent out many envoys to search everywhere for the whereabouts of the dragon soul.
All of these Loulan envoys failed. Only the mechanic who lived in seclusion in this city and used the alias Old Man Lü found the Loulan treasure, the ancient dragon soul!
Zhang Bairen's target was none other than this old man, Mr. Lü!
Looking at the ordinary building in front of him, Zhang Bairen gently waved his hand, signaling Gongshu Chou to demonstrate his professional skills.
Gongshu Chou, bent over, released hundreds of mechanical lizards.
These mechanical lizards are named Hatoshichiro.
Its function is to infiltrate and destroy various mechanisms.
Just like a virus destroying a computer, although it is only a small mechanical beast, it has a tremendous effect.
Even the Heaven-Slaying Lock of the Mo Family's forbidden area could not stop the exquisite destruction of Po Tu Qi Lang!
Soon, countless mechanical lizards scurried into every corner of the house.
A dozen seconds later, the chaotic sounds of mechanisms being destroyed came from inside the house.
Gongshu Chou smiled slightly and pushed open the wooden door in front of him.
The scene that came into view was that various mechanical parts were covered with Shichiro Podoshi.
"Hehehe, old man Lü, your trap formation has been completely dismantled by my Seven Earth-Breaking Warriors!" Gongshu Chou said with a laugh.
Inside the broken mechanism array stood a solemn-looking old man with a white beard. Zhang Bairen used the "World Loses Color" technique to carefully sense it.
It was eventually discovered that the protagonist, Jing Tianming, was not there.
"Great Master of Fate, take action. Search his memories to obtain the location of the entrance to Loulan and specific information about the Dragon Soul," Zhang Bairen instructed.
"Yes, Lord Fuyao!" The Grand Master of Fate walked up to Old Man Lü with mysterious steps.
Then he extended a palm, releasing scarlet true energy.
The Grand Master of Fate had a solemn expression as he read Old Man Lü's thoughts. After a moment, he nodded slightly, indicating that he had obtained all the information.
Zhang Bairen maintained the colorless sky, rendering Old Man Lü speechless and unable to resist.
The Grand Master of Fate reached out again and took out a patterned metal copper ball from Old Man Lü's bosom.
This bronze ball is the mythical beast Pixiu. Inside Pixiu lies the core essence of a fallen star, which is the dragon soul that activates the Demon God.
In other words, the Dragon Soul is neither the essence of the dragon nor the soul of the dragon.
Rather, it is the core essence of a fallen star, a round meteorite mineral containing incomparably powerful evil energy. It belongs to the heavens and even the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden cannot purify the evil energy of the fallen star.
Chi You was originally a warrior who saved the world, but the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden bestowed upon him the Chi You Sword, forged from fallen stars.
The warrior Chi You began to fall, his mind gradually being affected by the power of the demonic sword.
Then, boundless ambition arose, and he embarked on a life path of destroying and conquering everything.
Ultimately, the Yellow Emperor replaced Chi You and regained the help of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, which enabled him to defeat Chi You and restore life to the earth.
This is the basic background of the Qin's Time world; it's both absurd and simple.
Because of the existence of the fallen star, Zhang Bairen estimated that the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden of this world should be a planet-level creator god.
Unlike in the movie "Wind and Cloud," where Nuwa created the universe and stars, and her last three breaths of primordial energy could be transformed into three celestial stars.
Guan Yu, the God of War, along with Bu Jingyun and Nie Feng, were reincarnations of celestial stars, thus possessing extraordinary destinies and being born to confront great calamities.
