"Chirp chirp!"
Amidst the chirping, a fiery light flashed in the sky.
"Hmm … It seems that this phantom has adapted to the rules of this world after being modified …"
One of Wu Ming's avatars sat on the back of the Phoenix, flying rapidly. Looking at the white clouds below, he nodded in satisfaction.
The Immortal Bird he was riding on was none other than Emperor Flamefire, the God's Phantom Spirit that he had brought out from the Phantom World!
Of course, the Phoenix had barely reached the sixth rank in the phantom with the help of the world's origin force. Now, with the fall of the God of Creation, it had been mostly crippled.
Moreover, it was suppressed by the rules of the alternate world, so it was at most a fifth rank spiritual bird.
"The rules of the Illusory World are different from those of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Even though the Main Temple has transformed the Immortal Bird into a Vermilion Bird, it's still impossible for it to retain its Rank 6 power … However, it's enough to use as a means of transportation!"
In fact, with this sample, it would not be surprising that the Main Shrine would add an Undying Bird or a Vermillion Bird option to the Pet Phantom System that would be opened in the future.
"A branch of Gongshu Zhe should be in the depths of the Mohe Mountain Range!"
This information came from Gongshu Zhe's true soul in the Main Shrine, so it was definitely true.
To be honest, with this true soul and the imprints of a group of fallen Reincarnators, Wu Ming could definitely resurrect a team of puppeteers.
However, too much involvement was not good for either side. Moreover, a team of puppeteer masters could not compare to the thousands of ordinary disciples of the Gongshu family and the Mohist family.
After all, the production of large puppets was a huge project. Who had ever seen an entire production chain supported by a few people?
This was also the reason why Wu Ming had the Mohist Treasure Book of Mechanisms but did not want to train any talents. It was too complicated, so it was better to just copy the talents of the Mohist family and the Gongshu family.
Although the Mohist family was hidden and difficult to find, the Gongshu family could not escape.
Not long after, Wu Ming came to the side of a large waterfall.
This waterfall flowed down the cliff and was dozens of feet high. Below it was a huge lake, and it was very noisy.
Seeing this, Wu Ming was overjoyed. "We're here!"
The mechanisms of this world had the power of the gods. However, they still needed to borrow the power of nature. According to Gongshu Zhe's memories, this was where the Gongshu Family lived. What they wanted was this waterfall that flowed straight down and the endless force of impact.
"The masters of the Mo family and the Gongshu family are so willful. They either live under a waterfall, next to a volcano, or in a geothermal pit. In short, they don't take the normal path!"
Wu Ming was speechless. He waved his hand.
The phoenix let out a long cry and flew to the center of the waterfall. The scorching green flames dispersed and turned into an umbrella shape, splitting the waterfall into two from the center and revealing the smooth and clean rocks behind.
In the corner of the rock wall, one could see three tiger, leopard, and lion carvings. After being hit by the waterfall, the carvings had become incomparably smooth, but they were still clearly visible. It was a very ingenious work of art.
"Chirp chirp!"
The phoenix was very intelligent. Its long beak gently pecked the tiger's left eye, the leopard's right eye, and the lion's eyebrow. Then, it suddenly flew back to Wu Ming's side and turned into a small bird to perch on his shoulder.
Bloop! Bloop!
The pecking just now seemed to be some kind of secret signal. Wu Ming waited quietly. Then, he saw a string of bubbles appear in the large lake in front of him.
"Splash!"
The bubbles increased in number and density. Finally, a black shadow appeared from the bottom of the lake like an ancient water beast. It suddenly broke through the surface of the lake, creating countless splashes. Beside it, there were hundreds and thousands of streams of water falling continuously.
This monster that appeared from the bottom of the lake was a huge wooden fish. Its surface was greasy, and its two fish eyes were made of crystals.
"Is Brother Gongshu Zhe back?"
"Bang!"
The cabin door opened, and a small head with braids popped out. It looked around excitedly.
"Cough cough …"
Wu Ming coughed, and this attracted the little person's attention. "Who are you? How do you know the contact records of the Gongshu Family? "
"I'm Gongshu Zhe's … friend!"
Wu Ming's expression did not change. "I'm here to visit the Gongshu Family … But you, you suddenly appeared before confirming whether we're enemies or allies. Aren't you afraid of danger?"
"Yes!"
The little person slapped its head and slammed the cabin door shut. The monster turned its tail, and the two fins on its sides opened. Rows of gun barrels were aimed at Wu Ming. "Are you a good person or a bad person? How do you know Brother Gongshu Zhe … I, I'm very powerful … "
Wu Ming was speechless. He quickly flipped through Gongshu Zhe's memories.
It had to be said that even though this good-for-nothing had been bullied by his clansmen, he still had one or two friends. This little girl Gongshu Rui was one of them. However, she seemed to have a screw loose in her head. She was also a problem child, and her actions were very erratic. She and Gongshu Zhe were birds of a feather … no, they were birds of a feather.
"Okay, Rui Er, if I really want to make a move, I'll just barge in …"
Wu Ming was speechless. "Please inform the Great Elder of the Gongshu Family that I have something to discuss with him. Right, do you know about Gongshu Zhe's death?"
"How do you know my name, wait …?"
The cabin door opened again. The little girl who looked to be only fourteen or fifteen years old jumped down and grabbed his arm. "What did you say? Brother Gongshu Zhe … is dead? "
Wu Ming looked at this little girl speechlessly. With her defenseless appearance, if he were a bad person, he would have held her hostage more than ten times.
'In Gongshu Zhe's memory, when this girl was fourteen years old, an experiment failed. Dangerous materials leaked, and she almost died. After she was saved, there were side effects. For example, her appearance and mind were forever fixed at fifteen years old? What is this? Stupid people have stupid luck? '
"Wait, Rui Er, what are you doing?"
Splash!
The lake water parted, and another strange fish floated to the surface. An exasperated voice came from inside, "I only asked you to watch the water separator for a while. Why did you come out on your own? Also, why did you come out of the puppet? Did you forget the operating rules? "
It seemed that this guy was the usher. Wu Ming heaved a sigh of relief and quickly told him the purpose of his visit.
"Gongshu Zhe?!"
The Gongshu Family disciple who appeared later was very cautious. He stayed in the puppet and did not come out. His two rows of weapons were locked onto Wu Ming's position. After hearing this name, his reaction was a little strange, "He's already dead? What keepsake do you have? "
"This … do the tools he used and the remains of the puppet count?"
Wu Ming had pretended to be Gongshu Zhe for a while before, so he prepared a lot of things in this area. He took out a round plate covered in patterns and threw it over.
This was a necessary equipment for mechanical masters. It was almost like an identity card in his previous life. It was issued by the elders after a Gongshu Family disciple came of age. It could not be faked.
"Yes … it is indeed Gongshu Zhe's fixed plate!"
The strange fish swallowed the ink plate in one gulp. After a long time, a voice sounded, "Since you are a guest, please come in and have a chat! Gongshu Rui, let him sit in your Great Ink Water Resistant Qilin Shuttle! "
It seemed that although he believed in Wu Ming's identity, he was still very wary.
"Alright!"
Gongshu Rui rubbed her eyes and opened the cabin door, "Come in!"
Wu Ming entered curiously. He watched as the cabin door closed and the strange fish started to dive. It felt no different from the submarines in his previous life.
The position of the window was exactly where the strange fish's eyes should be. Looking out from here, the light outside was getting dimmer. It was obvious that the submarine was diving deeper and deeper, gradually becoming pitch-black.
In the darkness, a fluorescent light became more and more obvious, forming an arrow-like symbol.
Creak! Creak!
Amidst the slight vibration, the sound of gears grinding could be heard. Water shot out from behind the strange fish and turned into a propelling force. It followed the symbol and entered an undercurrent at the bottom of the lake.
This defense is not bad. How could an ordinary person think that the entrance to the Gongshu family is hidden in the undercurrent at the bottom of the lake …
Wu Ming looked around and kept nodding. Even if it was a level two or three expert, as long as they set up piranhas at the bottom of the lake, it would be enough to make them unable to return …
Bloop! Bloop!
With a large number of bubbles, the strange fish started to rise, as if it was continuously moving up the waterway.
In the darkness, other than the fluorescent road signs, there were also specks of light flashing. It looked beautiful, but Wu Ming's eyesight was amazing, and he found that these starlights were runes engraved at the bottom of the water. They were shining brightly, and their power was not reduced in the slightest.
Dao Talismans?
He was slightly stunned. Water Arrow Technique? Earthquake Technique? It's extremely sinister. Once it's activated, it can bury people alive … Also, there's a technique that can seal the soul. I'm afraid that even the Essence Soul of a Perfected Being can't break through it …
"This … brother, how did Brother Zhe die?"
Gongshu Rui controlled the many joysticks in front of her and suddenly asked without turning her head, her voice low.
I killed him. Not only did I kill him, but I also extracted his soul, refined it, and tortured him. Only a bit of his true spirit was left, and it was sealed in the main temple … never to be reincarnated!
Wu Ming sweated in his heart, but he did not say it out loud. He slowly said, "He died in an experiment to control a new type of puppet …"
With Gongshu Zhe's true spirit in hand, he could check his entire life experience at any time. Not to mention coming up with a flawless reason, even if he had to pretend to be Gongshu Zhe, Wu Ming was seventy to eighty percent confident.
However, this time, he was inviting the Gongshu family to come out. Gongshu Zhe was just a stepping stone. Naturally, it was not worth spending so much effort, let alone pretending.
"I see!"
Gongshu Rui immediately believed him. "Brother Zhe is a genius at making puppets. He had long said that he wanted to make a puppet that could shock the heavens and make ghosts and gods cry, comparable to the Gongshu family's Heaven's Origin Organization and the Mohist family's uncanny craftsmanship … Unfortunately, he always has problems with the operation. I've already persuaded him many times …"
As she said this, crystal clear tears fell again, causing Wu Ming to feel slightly guilty, as if he was tricking a little girl.
