Chapter 325 The living and the dead, the bones and flesh
The dark underground space was in a mess.
The walls collapsed, and countless rubble piled up together, almost blocking the way I came.
I didn't pay too much attention to these things at the moment, because my mind was almost attracted by the scene behind the bronze city gate.
At this moment, I was shocked beyond words. I just stared at everything in front of me with my eyes wide open, dumbfounded, and didn't come back to my senses for a long time.
Not only me, but even Xiao Qi beside me was stunned.
"Here, what exactly is this place?" Xiao Qi said in some doubt: "Why is there such a strong dead air? Xiao Fei, do you live here? And what are those buildings shrouded by the dead air used for?"
Then, what Xiao Qi and I saw was a group of buildings shrouded by the dead air. We couldn't see the end at a glance, and we didn't know how many kilometers it stretched out.
Although these buildings were shrouded by the dead air, making it difficult to see their true appearance, we can tell from the outlines and the strange light they emitted that they were all made of bronze.
Moreover, these buildings and this bronze ancient city are actually one and the same.
In other words, this ancient bronze city, including all the buildings in the ancient city, were built together.
People who have some knowledge of ironmaking technology may know that to make an ironware, it needs to be dissolved into liquid, and then poured into a mold and cooled before it can be formed.
The principle of bronzeware is the same.
However, how can a huge city be built by pouring?
Not to mention, these buildings have to be built together. This craftsmanship is simply incredible.
I even had an illusion that this craftsmanship could not belong to human beings.
"This, this... is simply a miracle!" I opened my mouth and made a weak sound.
This city covers at least dozens of kilometers. It is no exaggeration to say that such a large city is even larger than our village and Guo Village combined.
For such a large city, let alone the technology required, how much manpower and material resources would be needed?
In ancient times, bronze was an extremely precious metal. Even gold could not compare with bronze.
However, the Mohists actually used bronze to build an institutional city.
This wealth... is really astonishing!
At this time, the institutional beast suddenly flapped its wings, and then held me in its mouth and slowly flew into the institutional city.
The reason why the Mohist Machine City is called the Machine City is because there are all kinds of machines everywhere in the city. It can be said that if an outsider enters, it is impossible to walk out alive. Either he will be trapped here or killed by the machine.
At this moment, as I was carried by the machine beast and slowly entered the machine city, I immediately saw that the so-called machine in the machine city was not just a killing machine as I imagined. 7K妏敩 It
is even used in life.
For example, the machine beast carried me over a pool. In the center of the pool, there was a waterwheel. Although the waterwheel has stopped running, it is presumed that the entire machine city should have used this waterwheel to meet its daily water supply.
There are many incredible designs, such as those bronze buildings, many of which have traces of splicing. I even suspect that these buildings can be changed.
However, what shocked me the most was a train abandoned in the center of the city!
Yes, that's right, a train!
Its appearance is no different from a green train, but obviously, it can't be a steam train, but a mechanical train made by Mohists using mechanical technology.
"Wow, there are so many interesting things in here, hey, look, what is that?" Xiao Qi pointed to a place not far away, but I had no strength left, and blood was still dripping from the wound, and my body temperature and life were also lost along with it.
I have been able to stay awake until now, which is a miracle. At this moment, when I entered the city of machinery, the thick deathly aura enveloped me and slowly infected my body. I could not hold on any longer. My head drooped immediately, and then my eyes went black.
I fainted. "Hey, wake up, Zhang Qianyu, wake up!"
I don't know how long it took, but Xiao Qi's voice suddenly rang in my ears.
"Am I... dead?" I murmured in my heart.
"Hey, Zhang Qianyu, you are obviously awake, don't pretend to be dead!"
Xiao Qi's voice came from my ears again, and almost as soon as Xiao Qi's voice fell, I suddenly felt a sore nose, and then, an unspeakable pain suddenly spread to my forehead, and tears flowed out directly.
I subconsciously raised my hands and covered my nose, then opened my eyes faintly.
"Hehe, you're still pretending to be dead!"
When I opened my eyes, the first thing that caught my eye was Xiao Qi with her arms folded.
At this moment, she was sitting beside me, looking at me angrily.
"Where...is this place?" I turned my head and looked around, and then I found that I was lying on a bed at the moment, and all around me were walls made of bronze. It can be said that except for the wooden bed under me, the rest of the things are basically bronze.
"This is Xiao Fei's home." Xiao Qi jumped onto my chest and said, "How do you feel?"
I was stunned when I heard it, but then, memories came out like a tide, and drowned me in an instant.
I groaned in pain, then slowly raised my head and said, "Is this the Mechanical City?"
"Yeah." Xiao Qi nodded and said, "We are now in the tallest building in the Mechanical City. It seems to be the former residence of the Mohist master. Xiao Fei lives here. Because there is a formation guarding here, the death energy cannot infect it. However, Xiao Fei said that the formation will not last long. The rest of the rooms have begun to be filled with death energy. Only this room is still clean so far."
I nodded after hearing Xiao Qi's words, but then I was suddenly stunned again.
"My hand..." I widened my eyes, looking shocked.
I clearly remember that my left arm was broken, even the bones were flattened, but at this moment, except for being wrapped in a layer of gauze, I didn't feel anything unusual.
I sat up suddenly and immediately threw off the blanket on my body.
Then, I was completely stunned.
"How did my body recover?" I was completely overwhelmed, and an indescribable excitement and joy filled my heart.
I knew how badly I was injured. Even if Hua Tuo was reborn, it would be difficult to save my life. After all, I lost too much blood.
But at this moment, my body was covered with bandages. This was not the most important thing. The most important thing was that my legs had regained consciousness. Although it was still painful to move, at least I could move.
I raised my hand and touched my lower back, and then I found that the penetrating wound on my waist had recovered.
"How is this possible? Could it be that everything I experienced before was just an illusion? No, it was not an illusion."
If it was an illusion, then my body would not be covered with bandages.
And these bandages also indirectly proved that I was indeed injured, and the injury was extremely serious.
Seeing my shocked look, Xiao Qi beside me said: "Hallucination? Were you hit silly? How could it be an illusion!"
"Then how did I recover from my injury?" I asked excitedly.
"Of course it was Xiaofei who helped you, how else could you recover?" Xiaoqi snorted, and then continued: "Have you forgotten that Xiaofei is a fleshy Ganoderma? And fleshy Ganoderma is a magical medicine that can bring the dead back to life and heal bones. Not to mention that you were seriously injured, as long as you still have a breath, Xiaofei can save you, but..."
At this point, Xiaoqi lowered his head and said with a somewhat lonely look: "However, Xiaofei lost hundreds of years of Taoism to save you. Now he has fallen into a deep sleep, and I don't know when he will wake up."
When I heard Xiaoqi's words, my heart was immediately shocked.
It turned out to be...that pearly Ganoderma that saved me?
