Chapter 147: Arriving at the Imperial City, Meng Ling's Worry
Everyone was shocked by Meng Ling's ridiculous words, and no one had expected that such a girl like Meng Ling could say something like this.
"Oh? The young lady's words are indeed interesting. I must say I'm impressed." Dao Jie said with some embarrassment.
"It's nothing, it's just that I somewhat disapprove of the methods used by that tyrant Qin Shi Huang, so I accidentally found out some things." Meng Ling said with a smile.
"Well, let's continue on our way then. Everyone follow me, there are many traps inside the Organ City." Mr. Ban reminded them.
So the crowd followed Mr. Ban to a stone bridge, and at this time, Mr. Ban immediately stopped everyone and explained the mechanism of this passage.
After Mr. Ban's explanation, everyone has understood that it is actually a trigger mechanism, and the stone slabs on the road are carved with sun and moon patterns. If you step on the wrong one, you will end up dead without a whole body. The correct route of this mechanism changes every day, and only by answering the password correctly beforehand can you know the correct way to walk.
But today, as long as people walk on the stone slab with the "sun" pattern inlaid, nothing will happen. However, after Mr. Ban finished introducing it, Tian Ming immediately showed a very disbelieving look. As a result, Mr. Ban immediately demonstrated it by picking up a dead branch and throwing it into the corridor. Suddenly, only the floorboard with the "moon" pattern inlaid on the corridor floor stretched out a mechanical arm, which grabbed the dead branch. Immediately afterwards, several sharp arrows shot out from above and hit the dead branch, igniting a fierce flame.
"It seems that ordinary people are wrong after all. Tianming, you didn't believe it just now, do you want to try?" Meng Ling said with a smile.
"Never mind." Tianming shrank his neck, and he was also a little afraid in his heart. Then everyone started to pass through this trap. However, after everyone had passed, Tianming, the only one who feared that the world would not be chaotic, began to act again. He pretended to almost fall down in the passage, and after scaring everyone else out of their wits, he even had the nerve to say that he was just joking. As a result, he was immediately taken away by Gai Nie for "education". On the other hand, Meng Ling was delighted and followed everyone out immediately. It turned out that Dao Jie, the sneaky thief, walked together with Tianming, and the two of them were both the kind of people who feared that the world would not be chaotic. As a result, they easily became thick as thieves.
They immediately arrived at the Organ Bridge in the city of Organs. Meng Ling was amazed by the structure of this bridge, because in her previous life on Earth, she had not seen such a large bridge except for some special sections. Tian Ming and Dao Jie got along well, so everyone else didn't bother them much.
But when everyone had walked to the other end of the bridge, they found an old man with a head full of white hair blocking their way.
"Xu Lao Di, you're a busy person too, and yet you've come to welcome us?" Mr. Ban asked immediately as he walked up. But the old man didn't respond.
"What Xufu and his son are interested in is certainly not an old man like you." The thief standing beside him, with a look of "it's only natural", said.
"Is this Xu young fellow also of the same moral character as you, and has he too come to welcome the beauty?" Mr. Ban asked with a sneer.
"Of course not, you should understand with your toes, what is Old Xu most fascinated with." As soon as Thief Jue's words fell, everyone's eyes immediately gathered on Gai Nie and Meng Ling standing at the back. At this time, the sword in Gai Nie's hand had already begun to vibrate continuously. Just as Tian Ming was about to press it down, the sword had already flown into Xu Fuzi's hands. After getting the sword, Xu Fuzi first looked at Meng Ling's sword-type slash with a surprised gaze, and then began to admire Gai Nie's Yuanhong Sword.
"Hey, old man, this is my uncle's sword, return it quickly." Tian Ming, this ignorant and arrogant kid, was causing trouble again. But apparently, Xu Fuzi didn't take Tian Ming seriously at all, as if in his heart, nothing else in the world could surprise him except for the sword in his hand. However, Meng Ling noticed that Xu Fuzi kept glancing at the Tianyu on her waist with the corner of his eye.
"Hey, I'm talking to you!" Tian Ming wanted to continue speaking, but was stopped by Gai Nie. Then Gai Nie immediately asked with great respect: "Sir, could it be that..."
"My surname is Xu, and you brothers give me face by calling me Master Xu." The old man finally spoke up.
"It was Xu Fuzi, the so-called Sword Saint, who forged the precious swords in your hands, which are the divine and sharp blades that swordsmen dream of." Gai Nie said with a sigh, clasping his fists.
"But compared to this profound and subtle art, what I have learned is only superficial." Xu Fuzi said humbly.
"May I ask who is the predecessor that cast this profound rainbow sword?" Gai Nie continued to ask.
"It's my mother." As he said this, a hint of something unusual flashed in Xu Fuzi's eyes, and Tianming also seemed to understand something, nodding his head.
"It seems this kid is quite mindful of his surroundings at times." Dreaming thought.
"This is the last piece of her life's work. This sword will be worn by you, and it can also be said that it has found a good master." Xu Fuzi said with emotion.
"There is another sword in the city, called Shui Han. This sword and your Yuan Hong Sword are mutually restrictive, from material selection to casting techniques, they are completely different. These two swords are destined to be incompatible. Shui Han ranks seventh in the sword spectrum, although it's five places lower than Yuan Hong, but the top ten famous swords in the sword spectrum all have their unique features, and ranking does not represent strength or weakness, you'd better be careful." Xu Fuzi immediately reminded him as he returned the Yuan Hong Sword to Gai Nie.
"Who is wearing the Water Cold?"
"Xiao Gao (Gao Jianli)." Xufu immediately gave the answer. Then he took everyone into the city, and at dawn there were still some doubts, asking who this Xiao Gao was, but was confused by a sentence from Daozhi.
"He's someone you absolutely can't afford to mess with." And after hearing this sentence, the crowd passed through the last defense line of the Organ City, 'Thousand Jin Gate'.
Just as they entered, they saw everyone running in one direction. Mr. Ban thought there was an enemy coming, so Ze Kou stopped someone and asked, only to find out that a awakened youth had defeated many of the brothers inside the Mechanism City, and finally brought out the Great Iron Hammer, the strongest warrior inside the Mechanism City.
"Hurry up, I can't wait to see who is the real hero," said Dao Jie.
"He's off in a flash." Tian Ming had just finished speaking when he started sprinting, but Ze Yue seemed to be showing off his skills, instantly surpassing Tian Ming and then repeatedly holding back, leaving Tian Ming gnashing his teeth.
"I'd like to take a look too." As she spoke, Meng Ling also used the light footwork she had learned from Bai Feng Huang to follow after him, her speed surprisingly even faster than that of Dao Jie. Although Meng Ling had already known who this young man was, she still decided to go and take a look.
"He's here." Meng Ling flashed onto the second floor, standing on a stone pillar, looking at the situation below. At this time, Tian Ming had also arrived. The good show has officially begun.
First, Meng Ling saw a robust man who was comparable to the previous reminder of Wu Shuang Gui, standing in front of Xiao Yu. He looked at Xiao Yu with a condescending gaze. Then, amidst the sound of heavy breathing, a huge bronze cauldron was carried in, which looked very heavy. After that, the two people began to compete in strength.
First, it was that burly man called Da Tie Chui who lifted the bronze tripod with both hands and casually tossed it in front of Shao Yu.
"It's still not too late to give up now." The big iron hammer said proudly with his hands crossed over his chest.
However, Shao Yu seemed to ignore all of this and after taking a look at the bronze cauldron, he grabbed one of its legs with both hands. With a shout of "Up!", the entire bronze cauldron was tossed into the air. And then, amidst everyone's shocked gazes, he steadily caught the copper cauldron.
"It's no wonder that he, Xiang Yu the Overlord of Chu, who was second in strength in ancient Chinese history, had such strength even as a young boy. He's amazing." Meng Ling couldn't help but exclaim, but her voice was naturally inaudible to others.
"How's it? Still comparing?" Shaoyu put down the bronze tripod and asked.
"According to your Yan State's standards, this bronze tripod weighs 2,500 catties. I was only able to lift it up when I was eighteen years old. You are now fourteen and you won." As the big iron hammer's voice fell, a burst of applause immediately erupted around them.
"Bang......" But just as Shao Yu was bowing to the surroundings with his fists, Tian Ming suddenly hit a stone that accurately hit Shao Yu's occipital bone.
"Tianming, this silly kid, seems to be the type who can't help but stir up trouble. " Meng Ling smiled and floated over to Tianming's side, just as he was about to throw his second stone, she grabbed his hand and they descended directly from the second floor to the crowd on the first floor.
"This kid really needs someone to take care of him, otherwise our troubles will be endless." Meng Ling pointed at Tian Ming and said to the crowd.
"I concur." These were the words of Ze Rong.
"Let me go, you freak!" Tian Ming yelled loudly while continuing to hit Dreaming's hand that was grasping his right arm.
"Was it you who just threw a stone?" At this time, the big iron hammer unexpectedly stood behind Meng Ling and asked.
"Ah?" Hearing this sentence, Meng Ling was stunned on the spot.
"That's right, it's her, it's her." Tian Ming immediately pointed at Meng Ling and said.
"Tianming this kid is really afraid that the world will not be chaotic, but it's just right." Meng Ling also didn't speak, and directly defaulted to Tianming's words.
"It seems it's really you after all. Since that's the case, you're a girl, and I don't think it would be right for me to scold you. Hurry up and apologize to that young man," said Big Iron Hammer.
"Huh?" Originally, Meng Ling was prepared to fight this big iron hammer, but now it seems that there's no need for that after all.
"A woman's body is really troublesome." Meng Ling said with some helplessness, and immediately threw Tian Ming in front of her.
"If you want an apology, you'd better ask him. I've never used stones as a weapon." Meng Ling said coldly.
