Chapter 7 Taoyuan
At this time, the brothers were still silent in their dreams, and Mo Shoucheng did not intend to say goodbye to anyone. He put all his luggage into the Xuling Dharma Ring, put on an ordinary blue robe, and then walked straight along the mountain road.
He only stopped outside the door of Yan Yun's room and muttered, "Little girl, I'm afraid you won't be able to pester me for a while." The tone was calm, but it seemed to be a little melancholy.
He went all the way down the mountain, but he was thinking in his heart: I don't know how long it will take for him to come back after he left this time. Should he meet the demon master Fuming once and explain it to him?
This idea just came up, and he immediately shook his head: No! The Fuming demon master is a man in the demon path, but this time he is tied to the thousand-year-old demon head in the demon path. If he is taught to know this, he must take some actions.
"Even if I don't say it, he will know about such a big thing sooner or later... But it would be best to delay it by one day." After thinking like this, he gave up the idea of seeing the magician. At present, I no longer hesitated and accelerated my pace.
The empty mountain birds are accompanied by the morning star dew as the guide. When the morning sun changed and the sun was in the sky, Mo Shoucheng had already walked to the foot of Qingyun Mountain, a village called Taoyuan Township. After leaving this village, it is the border of Qingguo.
Now there are many wars between Qi and Qing in the secular Tao, and there are many big and small wars. Qingyun Mountain is located at the junction of the border between the two countries, but because of Qingyun Daomen, a place for cultivating immortals, it has become a place to shelter the people. The people of the two countries, displaced by the war, moved into Qingyun Mountain one after another and gathered together in villages between the valleys and gorges. It can not only rely on mountains and be self-sufficient, but also avoid harsh taxes and military service.
"Yesterday, the master said that there was something wrong with the mechanism creation in Taoyuan Township and asked me to come to repair it on the way, but I don't know what happened." He stopped at the entrance of the village and watched several young children playing in a large open space at the entrance of the village. Seeing them playing happily, a smile appeared at the corners of his mouth. One of the children's sharp eyes saw him and immediately clapped his hands and shouted, "It's Brother Mo!"
Several children listened to their companions' greetings and turned their eyes to the direction he pointed. Seeing that it was indeed Mo Shoucheng, they immediately surrounded them and shouted.
Mo Shoucheng greeted them one by one and walked into the village surrounded by this group of children. Mo Shoucheng usually went down the mountain and was always warmly received by the villagers in these villages under the mountain. Not only because the villagers are grateful for the protection of Qingyun Daomen, but also because he always takes a little time to do something for the villagers. Make some wooden toys for children to treat and recuperate patients with Zhenyuanli.
He walked into the village and came to face a pair of strong men, with a dark skin and naked upper body on the left. The other is neatly dressed and looks stronger, but the left sleeve is empty, and one arm is missing. These two people know each other. The naked man is called Wu Aniu, and the other is called Wei Xiaohu.
Mo Shoucheng went up to say hello. When the two saw him, they quickly stood up straight and saluted respectfully, "Mo Xianchang."
This greeting made Mo Shoucheng a little embarrassed, but he knew that it was useless to correct it, so he went straight to the point: "Brother Niu, Brother Hu, I heard that there was something wrong with the village's creation, and the master sent me to see the situation."
"Yes, it's really troublesome. We just asked someone to send the letter up the mountain two days ago. I didn't expect you to arrive so soon. I'll inform the village head now." Wu Aniu patted his head and said to Wei Xiaohu beside him, "You take Mo Xianchang around the village. I will quickly go to the village head and prepare some delicious hospitality."
He is impatient and does what he says. Without waiting for Mo Shoucheng to reply, he has already walked away with an axe and ran in the direction of the row of wooden houses in the village. Mo Shoucheng couldn't shout, only smiled bitterly, and then spread out his hand to Wei Xiaohu in front of him and said, "Brother Hu, let's go."
At this time, Wei Xiaohu had sent away the group of children and was now leading the way. Mo Shoucheng followed him and looked at the pastoral scenery around him, and a sense of relaxation gushed out in his heart.
The mechanism began with the secular Tao and developed in the immortal and demon Tao, which was very clear to him. He looked at the organ people walking back and forth in the farmland on the left hand side and asked Wei Xiaohu, "Isn't this the organ puppet made by Brother Shouming on the mountain last month? I heard that it failed and took it to destroy it. How could it appear here?
Wei Xiaohu replied respectfully, "The fairy said that this organ failed. Originally, he wanted to destroy it, but our rural people felt a pity, so they picked it up and asked some of the teachers in the village to make adjustments."
Mo Shoucheng's nod should be - for practitioners, only medium-grade machine beasts are valuable. The so-called failed works are actually only the pronomer of lower-grade organ beasts.
I saw the man mechanically walk from one end to the other along the small gap in the field, with his hands swinging left and right from time to time, making a sound of gear bite. Every time it walks, it always disturbs a few birds buried in the field. The little guys always keep the opposite direction from it. It goes to the left, and the bird falls on the right side of the field. When it goes to the right, the naughty guys have run to the other side.
Mo Shoucheng looked interesting: "Are you using it as a scarecrow?"
Wei Xiaohu shook his head and nodded: "Isn't it? Now those sparrows are very good, and it turns out that those scarecrows who won't move will not be afraid.
The two walked down the track and field, but for a moment they came to a river, crossed the single-plank bridge and walked forward, which was the cottage. Mo Shoucheng stood on the simple bridge and suddenly heard someone say hello: "Little Tiger! The one beside you is Mo Xianchang?"
The two looked at the place where they spoke at the same time, but they were an old man fishing by the river. The old man held a roll of books in his hand and lay a lounge chair under him, which looked so leisurely.
"Fan Weng, you are always energetic today." The old man also knew him. He was the private school teacher in the village. He waved to the old man: "Didn't you teach that group of children today?"
Fan Weng put down the scroll in his hand, sat up straight, and saluted Mo Shoucheng from afar: "Oh, it's really Mo Xianchang. Why do you have time to come here today?
"I heard that there is something wrong with some organs in the village, so come and have a look." Mo Shoucheng replied with a smile, "The fishing machine I made for you last time, you still use it."
The fishing mechanism referred to by Mo Shoucheng is a thing placed next to the fishing old man's lounge chair.
That thing is a little fearing at first. It is a man without a lower body, only an upper body. The lower body is equipped with rollers, and a pair of arms holding the fishing rod are extremely long. Looking more carefully, there is also a strange fish basket hanging behind the half-body monster.
"It's easy to use. It's really easy to use. The old man uses this for himself, and he can't feel that he is fishing!" Fan Weng narrowed his eyes, pointed to the strange thing beside him, and then said to Mo Shoucheng, "Look, is this old man fishing, or is this thing fishing?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that the fishing rod held by the fishing mechanism was suddenly pulled down by the fishing line. It was a fish caught! At this moment, the long pair of machine arms suddenly raised and pulled the hooked fish out of the water. The fish fluttered twice in the air and sent the fishing rod held by the machine arms to the mouth of the fish basket impartially.
Fan Weng quickly stood up, turned his head and smiled at Mo Shoucheng while untied the hook, "Mo Xianchang, look, the old man seems to be serving it now."
He squeezed his eyebrows and looked a little aggrieved, making Wei Xiaohu and Mo Shoucheng laugh loudly.
After saying goodbye to Fan Weng, the two crossed the bridge and saw people greeting them near the row of cottages from afar. It was Wu Aniu who took the lead.
There was a row of people behind him, all the elders in the village. Mo Shoucheng smiled bitterly and came forward to salute them one by one. This secular Taoist always has envy and awe for the practitioners. Mo Shoucheng doesn't like this, but he can't reverse the concept of implanted in their bone marrow.
The village head of Taoyuan Township is Tao Weng. The two middle-aged elders around him also know Mo Shoucheng. They are all craftsmen in secular Taoism. As far as the organs are concerned, they have to call them predecessors.
The two sides exchanged greetings for a while, and Mo Shou sincerely remembered the division's task. They did not want to delay any more time, so they immediately brought the topic to the topic: "Tao Weng, I heard that there is something wrong with some organs and creations. What is the specific situation?"
Tao Weng stroked his long-lived eyebrows and shook his head: "That was last year, a machine creation made by a fairy on the mountain for us in Taoyuan Township. We usually used it to cultivate fields, but somehow the other day, it didn't move."
The two mechanism craftsmen added: "Mo Xianchang, we have also seen that mechanism, but the level is not enough, and we really can't see any faults. We have carefully removed the shell part. The layout inside is too complicated, and we only dare to check whether the screws are loose, but it looks quite normal.
Mo Shoucheng nodded and said, "Taoweng, don't worry, wait here. Two, can you take me to see that mechanism creation?
Under the guidance of the two craftsmen, Mo Shoucheng followed them, turned around, and soon came to the door of a huge warehouse.
"Mo Xianchang, we will park here." A craftsman in cyan took the lead in entering the warehouse and then quickly and skillfully lit the oil lamp in the room. Another craftsman walked to the middle of the warehouse and tore off a huge white cloth that covered it.
Mo Shoucheng took a close look, but it was a huge cow-shaped creation, which seemed to be used for ploughing the field. Mo Shoucheng looked carefully. There was a large open space on the huge body, which was thought to be reserved for the manipulator. But just looking at this, it is enough to make a sincere judgment - such a huge mechanism creation, mouse running wheels, iron stone magnetic force, link clockwork and other power sources can never drive.
"Xianchang, it turned out that when this mechanism was first built, it was driven by young people in the village stepping on the footboard. Although it was a little laborious, this thing ploughed deep, fast and easy to use. Later, a fairy on the mountain saw it and changed it for us. We don't need to rely on manpower anymore, just someone to manipulate it.
Mo Shoucheng heard it secretly and laughed. Naturally, he already knew the reason, but he only said in his heart: But he didn't know which man in Qingyun Daomen did good deeds and transformed the organ that was originally applicable to the villagers into a fairy stone drive. At this time, the fairy stone energy was exhausted, and the natural organ was no longer active.
I laughed in my heart, but I have to spend time transforming this organ back at this time, but how can I have time? What's more, after listening to the previous craftsman's tone, they have long been used to this machine driven by fairy stones. If they want to change back to manpower, I'm afraid they don't want to.
Now that the problem has been found, it is very easy to solve it. At present, the two craftsmen in the secular Tao took apart the shell. Mo Shoucheng quickly found the core part of the power and took out the depleted fairy stone and replaced it with a new fairy stone.
"This will be solved for the time being." Mo Shoucheng smiled and said, "However, if you don't want to change it back to human-driven in the future, I'm afraid you will often go up the mountain to ask for fairy stones."
