Chapter 125: Bronze Walks, Ask Gongshu

"Rumble, rumble, rumble..."

The wooden wheels slowly rolled over the road, and the diligent Palu, Dasi Ming, was pulling the cart forward.

This place is already the outskirts of Gongshujia. In front of you is a bluestone road and in front of you is a bronze-clad gate.

The Great God of Destiny stopped in front of the gate, and Gongsun Ce sat in the carriage and waited quietly for Gongshu Chou to come out to greet him.

Gongshujia is similar to Jigua City in that both are hidden in the mountains, but the difference lies in the internal structure and the method of entry.

The entrance to the Mo family's mechanical city is hidden, while the entrance to the Gongshu family's city is not deliberately hidden, except that the road is a little difficult to find.

"Da da da……"

The bronze-clad gate opened, and Gongshu Chou walked out of the gate and bowed to Gongsun Ce's carriage, "I greet General Gongsun."

Gongshu Chou's eyes swept over Da Siming from time to time, and it was obvious that he was very curious about the existence of Da Siming.

Gongsun Ce did not respond for a long time, so Gongshu Chou approached the carriage and bowed.

"General Gongsun Ce, I have been waiting for you for a long time. I have already arranged a banquet. Please do me a favor."

However, there was no movement in the carriage for a long time. Gongshu Chou could not help but feel a little doubtful, but he still maintained a respectful attitude and did not dare to slack off.

After a long while, a calm voice came from the carriage, "Poor imitation."

Although the voice was soft, it seemed to have the power to penetrate people's hearts. Gongshu Chou's face changed when he heard it. He was shocked, but he still tried to stay calm.

He pretended not to understand and smiled, "What is Mr. Gongsun Ce talking about? I am stupid and don't understand."

There was a hint of embarrassment in his smile, as if he had been hit hard by the words in the carriage.

There was no further sound from inside the carriage, only the curtains were gently waved.

Suddenly, a cold light flashed, and Gongshu Chou felt a sharp breath coming towards him.

He subconsciously wanted to dodge, but it was too late.

A wind blade shot out from the carriage and instantly split Gongshu Chou's body into two.

However, what was surprising was that after Gongshu Chou's body was split, not a single drop of blood flowed out.

His body separated into two parts, and when his upper body fell to the ground, one could see bronze gears in his wounds.

It can be seen that Gongshu Chou in front of him was just a bronze dummy, and his real body was nearby.

"In the past, King Mu of Zhou went on a tour to Mount Kunlun. On his way back, he met a craftsman named Yanshi.

Yanshi presented the wooden man he made, and King Mu of Zhou ordered Yanshi to display the wooden man.

The wooden man danced gracefully at the banquet, but at the end of the dance he flirted with King Mu of Zhou's concubines with his eyes.

King Mu of Zhou was furious, thinking that Yanshi was using a real person to impersonate the wooden man.

Yanshi then dismantled the wooden man in front of King Mu of Zhou, and King Mu of Zhou discovered that the wooden man was made of nothing more than wood, leather and various pigments.

Later, King Mu of Zhou discovered that the wooden man's organs were intact, but as long as his heart was removed, the wooden man would be unable to speak.

As long as the liver is removed, the wooden man will be unable to see anything..."

Gongsun Ce was talking eloquently, and with a casual wave of his hand, a wind blade pierced through the curtain and hit somewhere behind the gate.

It left a scratch just in front of Gongshu Chou's mechanical foot. Gongsun Ce only needed to control the wind blade to move forward one centimeter to cut Gongshu Chou's mechanical foot.

Gongshu Chou no longer dared to show off his skills at this moment. He walked out of his hiding place tremblingly, walked to Gongsun Ce's carriage and bowed to him.

"I hope that General Gongsun will forgive me. This is a masterpiece I made a few days ago. I was so careless that I showed off my skills in front of General Gongsun. I hope that General Gongsun will forgive me.

If General Gongsun wants to make something, just ask, and I will definitely satisfy you."

"Since you want me to atone for my sins, I will not be polite. I want a bronze carriage frame whose bronze shell can be transformed into a snake-shaped mechanical beast. I wonder if Master Gongshu can do it."

As soon as Gongsun Ce finished speaking, Gongshu Chou hesitated for a moment and then told him his difficulties.

“To be honest, making something like this is not difficult for me, but it takes quite a while.

Moreover, it takes time to mine and smelt bronze ore. If General Gongsun needs it now, I can’t help you.”

Gongsun Ce thought for a moment and said calmly, "It's not a problem. As long as Gongshu Jia goes to Xianyang, there will be no shortage of manpower and materials."

Gongshu Chou stroked his goat beard and spoke awkwardly, "I heard that the Heavenly Question Sword and the Sun-Banned Sword are both in the hands of the Grand Commandant. I wonder if I can..."

Gongshu Chou didn't like swords and didn't know how to forge swords. What he wanted to see was the material of the two swords.

The Sun-Covering Sword was also made of red gold and bronze from Kunwu Mountain, but the material of the Tianwen Sword is unknown. Its origin is a mystery just like the Tai'a Sword.

Gongsun Ce already knew the material of the Sun-Covering Sword, so he was naturally not curious. However, as for the material used to cast the Tianwen Sword, Gongsun Ce was indeed a little curious.

Gongsun Ce waved his hand and the Tianwen sword came out of its sheath, then passed through the curtain of the carriage and floated in front of Gongshu Chou.

Gongshu Chou held the Tianwen Sword in his hand, his face intoxicated, "What a good sword, but the material is something I've never seen before. Maybe it's the recycled metal in the legend."

Gongsun Ce, who originally didn't care much about the casting material of the Tianwen Sword, suddenly noticed Gongshu Chou's words, "Did Patriarch Gongshu just say recycled metal?"

Gongshu Chou was still immersed in observing the Tianwen Sword, and said casually, "Yes, there is a legend that meteorites from outer space will bring all kinds of meteorite iron.

The most special one is the so-called recycled metal. Our ancestors once found a fingernail-sized piece of recycled metal in a meteorite.

This small piece of metal is no different from red gold, but the ancestors discovered that this recycled metal is superior to ordinary red gold in all aspects.

Zou Zi, the ancestor of the Yin-Yang School at that time, commented on this piece of metal, "To live towards death is to be reborn."

Gongsun Ce touched his chin. This thing was similar to the recycled metal among the dragon clan. Both were metals that were killed by the fire element and then gained new life.

Gongsun Ce got the inspiration of alchemy and wanted to try it. "I'll borrow the nobles' smelting land for use."

Gongshu Chou was shocked, "I wonder what General Gongsun wants to do?"

“There are some ideas I want to try.”

Gongshu Chou naturally would not refuse, and soon Gongsun Ce got off the carriage and followed Gongshu Chou into the smelting room.

Gongsun Ce glanced at the busy Gongshu family members and said, "Everyone get out."

Gongshu Chou echoed in a stern voice, "Everyone get out and leave this place to General Gongsun!"

"Yes!"*n
The Gongshu family members left one after another. Gongsun Ce glanced at Gongshu Chou who did not leave and said, "You leave too!"

"this?"

When Gongshu Chou hesitated, Gongsun Ce simply lit up his golden pupils and looked at him, and Gongshu Chou left without hesitation.

The melting point of bronze is between 700 and 900 degrees, which is close to the temperature at which firewood can burn.

Therefore, bronze is widely used, but it is not so easy to shape bronze.

Gongsun Ce grabbed a piece of bronze in front of him and placed it on the rock table.

Gongsun Ce recited the dragon scripture softly, "Word Spirit·Fire."

Gongsun Ce grabbed a ball of flame with his bare hands, and the bronze quickly melted under the high temperature flame.

Any metal has a corresponding boiling point. Once it reaches the boiling point, it will form corresponding steam if it is heated continuously. Gongsun Ce was thinking whether the recycled metal would be the metal turning into corresponding steam and then returning to the solid metal state.

Soon the bronze was melted, and Gongsun Ce continued to raise the temperature, and soon a piece of bronze turned into steam.

Gongsun Ce controlled the airflow to wrap the bronze vapor for rapid cooling.

Soon a piece of bronze appeared again. After testing by Gongsun Ce, it was confirmed that this piece of bronze was still bronze, not recycled metal.

Gongsun Ce couldn't help but scratch his head. Perhaps it was not as simple as raising or lowering the temperature.

Kill metal with fire, animate it with bronze authority.

Gongsun Ce continued to try to burn metals, but instead of trying to make recycled metals, he tried to use alchemy.

Concept arming, time reversal, space development, life creation, element replacement, spiritual recasting, cause and effect separation

These are the seven kingdoms of the Dragon Alchemy realm. They look very grand, but in fact they have never been shown in detail.

Just when Gongsun Ce was trying to peek into the mysteries of alchemy.

Guiguzi had already stepped into the Yin-Yang School's headquarters. When he saw the badly damaged Luosheng Hall, he could hardly suppress his surprise.

Donghuang Taiyi, who was practicing at this time, felt the arrival of Guiguzi, and his figure appeared in front of Guiguzi in an instant.

"Long time no see, Guiguzi."

Guiguzi bowed and said, "It's been a long time since we last met, Donghuang Taiyi. Who was it that fought with you here some time ago? Who was it that could destroy Luosheng Hall in front of you?"

Donghuang Taiyi had no intention of hiding anything. After all, Gongsun Ce did not give such an order. "It was Master Xun's disciple, Mr. Gongsun."

Guiguzi keenly noticed the problem with the way Donghuang Taiyi addressed Gongsun Ce.

Guiguzi couldn't help but look up and down at Donghuang Taiyi in front of him with some suspicion.

Her aura was half a step towards unity between man and nature, her clothes were consistent, her tone did not change, and her posture when interacting with him was normal...

All these aspects show that there is nothing wrong with Donghuang Taiyi.

Although there was no evidence, his intuition told him that there was something wrong with the Donghuang Taiyi in front of him.

"Oh?"

Guiguzi pretended to be curious and asked about the fight between Donghuang Taiyi and Gongsun Ce.

"As far as I know, Gongsun Tongming is only at the Grandmaster level. With your strength, you shouldn't have fought him to this extent."

Donghuang Taiyi spoke calmly, his tone was unfathomable and echoing, "If you and I were to spar, and I let you go first, I'm afraid you would have the upper hand."

Guiguzi was a little surprised.

Donghuang Taiyi meant that Gongsun Ce took the initiative and used an attack comparable to the half-step unity of man and nature realm, so Donghuang Taiyi had to go all out.

But if Gongsun Ce only had the power of one strike, there would be no need for them to fight for so long.

"Old friend, I still need to rebuild the Rashomon Hall, so I won't be staying for now. Please."

Guiguzi would not seek trouble for himself. Since Donghuang Taiyi was sending him away, he had no choice but to leave.

In the past, Guiguzi was indifferent to the alien Gongsun Ce, but now he just wants to observe this alien carefully.

The Grandmaster level was confronting a being at the half-step unity of man and nature, and seemed to be controlling a being at the half-step unity of man and nature level.

Even though Guiguzi prided himself on being knowledgeable and experienced, he felt that he had gained new insights at this moment.

Donghuang Taiyi did not reveal any flaws, but given Donghuang Taiyi's character, he openly admitted that he had used his full strength against a master, and this was his biggest flaw.

This is a logical flaw. There are only four of them who have reached the state of half-step unity between man and nature. They know the other party's character very well.

If it were someone else, Guiguzi could infer the other person's specific location through the fate star, but Gongsun Ce's fate star was special.

Donghuang Taiyi was able to locate Gongsun Ce by calculating that Han Fei's fate star was in Xinzheng.

Gongsun Ce's fate star moves with Han Fei's fate star, so it is judged that Gongsun Ce is in Xinzheng.

At this time, Guiguzi thought about it and decided to sit back and wait. Since Gongsun Ce came to Chu, he would definitely return to Qin one day, so he just had to stay on the official road.

So Guiguzi stayed there for half a month. Just when Guiguzi wanted to go to Xianyang to wait, Dasi Ming passed by Guiguzi in a carriage.

At such a close distance, Guiguzi could determine that the person in the carriage was Gongsun Ce.

"Dingling, ringing, ringing..."

Just when Guiguzi thought he could observe secretly, the bronze bell hanging outside Gongsun Ce's carriage suddenly rang.

This was Gongsun Ce's only gain in the past ten days. It was a bronze bell that had no other function except for early warning.

Even if he was a perfect grandmaster, he could not escape Gongsun Ce's perception at this moment.

All people who have reached the half-step unity of man and nature are equal in front of Kamaitachi, and none of them can hide.

Only the half-step unity of man and nature can achieve this. Their aura and presence are very weak, and it is difficult for the Kamaitachi to tell whether they are human or animal.

Therefore, this bell is aimed at the half-step unity of man and nature, and there are only four people who have reached the half-step unity of man and nature realm.

Bei Mingzi is still in Taiyi Mountain, Xunzi is in Xiaoshengxianzhuang, and Donghuang Taiyi has been controlled by Gongsun Ce.

Then there was only one person left who could get close to Gongsun Ce's carriage - the street urchin Guiguzi.

"Is the person coming here Guiguzi?"

Hearing Gongsun Ce's voice, Guiguzi was slightly stunned, then he walked to the front of the carriage and stood still.

"General Gongsun, nice to meet you. I am Guiguzi."

Gongsun Ce raised his hand to create a breeze, which lifted the car curtain, and Gongsun Ce and Guiguzi looked at each other.

"I wonder what's the matter?"

Guiguzi thought for a moment and found a suitable reason, "Discuss the Dao."

"Oh?" Gongsun Ce was in a good mood. Guiguzi wanted to discuss Taoism with him. "What do you want to discuss?"

"On the Way of Vertical and Horizontal."

Guiguzi felt that he seemed to see something in Gongsun Ce, but he couldn't see it clearly.

But he vaguely felt that the opportunity to achieve the state of unity between man and nature might lie in Gongsun Ce.

Therefore, Guiguzi wanted to observe Gongsun Ce more carefully. The collision of ideas was the best way to understand each other.

After saying that, Guiguzi looked aside and said, "If you, my friend Song Yu, want to discuss the Dao together, you may come over."

"Being respectful is worse than obeying orders."

Song Yu's voice, as gentle as jade, sounded slowly, and in a moment, the person arrived.

"A guest is a guest, and a guest should follow the host's wishes. Since Senior Guiguzi and General Gongsun are both guests, I will present my ugliness first."

Song Yu was the grandmaster of the State of Chu, so naturally he needed to observe Gongsun Ce's quiet entry into Chu. This was a matter of duty.
