Chapter 217
The trip to the Craftsmen Sect allowed Zhou Yuan to acquire the true art of mechanical devices.
At this time, he could create mechanical arms and mechanical Chiwen beasts.
But he was not the only one in the world who was changing, and others had different plans.
When he returned to Yunbi Taoyuan and cut down five-color peach trees to make mechanical beasts, he also exited the secret realm of Caixi Sect and found Taoist Zhixuan to discuss the five elements escape.
This time, Taoist Zhixuan seemed a little anxious and tried to teach him all the escape techniques at once.
"General, you have a basic understanding of the water escape method. I will explain the difficulties of the wood and fire escape methods in detail.
With your ability, if you take good notes, you will be able to pass through wood and fire and travel through the five directions as soon as possible."
"Why do you say that, Taoist priest? The court has issued a new transfer order."
"No, I have been in seclusion for many years and have been supported by the court and the people. I owe the world a few responsibilities.
Yesterday, the court announced to the world that it would redeem the regret of a hundred years, save the people from water and fire, and fulfill the promise of the people to stand together. It sent troops to the west to recover the homeland.
I am so quiet that I want to go to Yu State to explore all kinds of information, repay the kindness of the world, so that I can forge a strong mind through war and repay the kindness to get a clear mind."
While speaking, Taoist priest Zhixuan took out a document from his arms and handed it to Zhou Yuan for inspection.
When he opened it, he saw the seal of the Five Germans at first glance, which read "Inherited the Five Virtues from Heaven, Courageous, Wen, Benevolent and Faithful".
Then the words were arranged neatly from top to bottom and from left to right.
"The State of Yu is tyrannical, occupying our homeland and bullying our people. The people of Danzhou have written in blood to present this to Fengjing.
It is said that Dakang lost the country and Weiwu succeeded. We should be the people of Kang and transform the people of Wei. How can we become prisoners of the State of Yu, and even rise without justice and have no way to retreat.
The noble families of Danzhou and the people in the state beg to return to their homeland, pray for the grace of the court, and reject the chaotic politics of the State of Yu."
"Seeing the despair and compassion of the descendants of the court, I should fulfill the oath of the people to stand together, raise the bravery of the Great Wei, and protect the livelihood of the people.
When this book is made public to the world, the troops of the court will advance westward to redeem our people and enhance our national prestige. It is clear that there is Wei and we will not retreat."
This court document hides a lot of information. First, it is a legitimate reason to conquer the homeland, so that the State of Yu will not worry about the disaster of national destruction.
As long as they hand over the land of Danzhou, then surrender to the Great Wei and sign the letter of state, they can avoid this war.
Second, although Danzhou will be the main battlefield, the people and noble families in the state do not have to worry about the brutality of the Wei army.
The emperor of Wei has made it clear that this war is a war to protect the people and to save the people of Danzhou, so it will not do worse than the Yu State.
Third, the Wei court wants to redeem the people and will not retreat.
This means that even if Chu intervenes, Wei will not back down.
In this way, Yu will inevitably be under great pressure. Either fight a war of attrition, giving Wei an excuse to gain more benefits.
Or give up the prestige of the country, hand over Danzhou, and show exhaustion.
Zhou Yuan knew that Kong Jue was just one of the driving forces of this matter.
Even if he did not recover, when Princess Anren of Wei entered the East Palace of Chu and the situation in Liang was stabilized, Wei would still send troops to the west.
Such major events of the country cannot be changed by personal will. Today's results are due to the prosperity of Wei and the weakness of Yu.
"Master, why didn't we, the generals, receive the imperial edict?"
"General, you are too young. Even if you are talented, you still need time to grow up.
The court will not use young military officers like you unless it is absolutely necessary. At most, you will be trained and sent to escort supplies and garrison the border town."
"Since Master has made up his mind, I will not stop you.
Please be very careful when you enter Yu State. Don't expose yourself before you know the enemy's strength."
"General, don't worry. Although my five-element escape technique has not been integrated yet, my ability to hide well is also good."
After Master Zhixuan made his intentions clear, he began to teach day and night, and Zhou Yuan also recorded many notes.
During this period, he gave Master Zhixuan the method of blending earth and gold, which made him seem to have realized something and was extremely happy.
When Master Zhixuan was about to leave, he led the warriors and generals to see him off for several miles.
It was not until Master Zhixuan stepped onto the main road leading to Fengjing that he returned to Caixi Lane, Ning'an County.
In order to give the excited disciples something to do, Zhou Yuan ordered them to go to the Yulin Left Camp to participate in the Yulin camp training and the secret realm attack.
Only the warriors sent by the Great Wei Emperor were left to guard Caixi Lane.
"Kong Jue is right. Once the letter from Daliang is issued, all countries will be ready to go, and the world situation will change drastically."
Zhou Yuan was touched after entering the secret realm of Caiximen again.
A year ago, he was just a chess piece, but now he has the ability to jump out of the chessboard and see through the chess game.
All this is due to the change in identity brought about by the growth of strength, otherwise he would most likely be affected by a transfer order like Meng Kui Moxi.
"The army's expedition and the Yu State's defense are not a matter of one day or one night. We should stabilize ourselves and watch the world."
The changes in the situation of various countries are very close to Zhou Yuan, the Great Wei Yulin Captain, the Deputy Sect Master of Xingxiu Sect, and the Master of Baihe Village.
But he still has the opportunity to implement his plan and stay out of it for the time being.
Therefore, in the following days, he mostly cut trees and raised beasts, and even rarely participated in the merger of Baihe Village.
When he took the Chiwen beast to Yuntian Palace City, he found that the white-clothed Banshu had disappeared.
Only the black-clothed Mu Zhai was left on the high seat of the four-sided terrace, guarding the chessboard and fighting with his hands.
"Master Mu Zhai, where did Master Banshu go?"
"Of course he went to Yuntian. If you have made the Chiwen beast, you can go to Yuntian Craftsmanship to find him."
Zhou Yuan knew that a new event had been triggered when he saw this, so he did not stay at the Craftsman Gate, but went up to the attic and passed through the Yuntian Jade Wall to the palace city.
The Craftsman Gate is indeed a legal department, and its treatment is far better than that of the Caixi Gate.
The Caixi Gate still needs to climb the sky-high rope and sneak into the Yunbi Taoyuan, while the Craftsman Gate can go directly to Yuntian City.
When Zhou Yuan entered Yuntian with the return spell, he instantly appeared in a palace with carved beams and painted buildings.
Bai Yi Ban Shu was busy carving a nine-foot statue with six level 50 Yuntian craftsmen.
Seeing Zhou Yuan coming, he put down the gold chisel in his hand, wiped the statue and spoke.
"You came just in time. We are busy carving the statue and have no time to make various repairs.
In the future, you can go to the Shanggong Hall to check the various commissions. After completing a certain number of commissions, you can be promoted to Yuntian craftsman."
After speaking, Bai Yi Ban Shu picked up the gold chisel again and kept knocking on the statue.
Zhou Yuan walked forward and waited for him to stop thinking before asking.
"Master Panshu, why do you carve statues? Do the people of Yuntian need to build temples to worship them?"
"This is not carving, but installing the statues. Don't look at it as it is motionless now. Once it is installed and the talismans are applied, it can be transformed into a soldier.
If you can become a Yuntian craftsman, I will teach you this technique.
Then you can install the statues for yourself and use them as your external incarnation."
