"It really is the Supernatural Craftsmanship Scroll!"
"I heard that this scroll recorded 36 ancient mechanisms, which are mutually beneficial to the creation of things. Seeing it today, it really lives up to its reputation!"
"Wonderful! With this, we can replicate the Mo Family's highest crystallization — the Supernatural Craftsmanship Puppet. Haha, let's see how they react then! "
"Eh? Why is there only the beginning? "
…
When the Mo Family's elders saw the scroll, they immediately turned into old scholars. After studying it for a long time, they shouted in dissatisfaction. When they saw that Wu Ming was still watching them with a smile, they immediately looked embarrassed.
"How is it?"
Wu Ming took another sip of tea and asked unhurriedly.
"It is indeed the Mo Family's secret technique — the Supernatural Craftsmanship Scroll. How did you get it?"
Gongshu Ao's eyes flashed.
"How I got it is not important! What's important is that I have the entire Supernatural Craftsmanship Scroll … Even if you want the Supernatural Craftsmanship Puppet, it is not like I don't have a way! "
This was naturally the main shrine's collection. However, even though Wu Ming could rely on this to create another Mo Family, it would be a waste of time and effort, and he would have to train apprentices from scratch. It was better to leave it to the old masters.
"Your conditions are really irresistible!"
Gongshu Ao smiled bitterly.
This Supernatural Craftsmanship Scroll appeared in Wu Ming's hands. As long as he was not a member of the Mo Family, he would definitely be an enemy of the Mo Family!
The Mo Family naturally would not come to them for help. Thus, the only possibility was that Wu Ming had killed a Mo Family's inheritance elder!
Gongshu Ao and the others looked at each other. They had already decided to immediately check if there was any news of the Mo Family's inheritance master dying.
"Good!"
Wu Ming nodded. This was a win-win situation. "After signing the contract, I can give you the first half of the Supernatural Craftsmanship Scroll. After three years, if I am satisfied with your performance, I will give you the second half!"
"Only half?"
Gongshu Ao was stunned.
"Do you want me to give you everything?"
A playful smile appeared on Wu Ming's face. The Immortal Bird on his shoulder suddenly spread its wings and chirped.
"Fine!"
The deterrence of these two rank 5 experts finally caused Gongshu Ao to reveal a bitter smile. After calculating the price he had to pay to make them stay, he wisely chose to compromise. "It's just that I, Gongshu Clan, have a few small conditions for me to become an official. Furthermore, there is another problem …"
"Speak!"
Wu Ming was expressionless as he spoke in an unfathomable tone.
"Right now, it's time for the once-in-a-decade battle between the Gongshu family and the Mo family. All the disciples of the Gongshu family must prepare for this. I'm afraid it will be several months before we can go to Dingzhou!"
Gongshu Ao looked pained, but he still pushed the wooden box back. "If you can't accept this condition, please forgive us for being powerless!"
"So that's how it is!"
Wu Ming cursed his bad luck in his heart.
The competition between the Mo Family and the Gongshu Family was obviously an extremely confidential matter, and he had never heard of it.
Moreover, the elites of the two families had to prepare for it. Didn't that mean that even if he immediately turned around and went to the Mo Family, the result would be the same?
"Will of the heavens? Or is it the pressure from those people behind the scenes? Or did the people of the Gongshu family discover something? "
Wu Ming lowered his eyelids, and his face suddenly became gloomy.
…
"First Elder?!"
After a while, Wu Ming left. Several elders of the Gongshu family immediately surrounded him and asked, "Are you really not going to do anything? This is the top secret of the Mo Family! "
"Presumptuous!"
Gongshu Ao glared at them. "How many rank 5 puppets do you have? Can they defeat their spiritual birds? Or do you want to destroy the foundation of the Gongshu family? "
The elders immediately became silent. Although the Gongshu family had accumulated resources, they were confident that they could fight against an Earth Immortal. But two rank 5 puppets? It was not as simple as one plus one.
If they were not careful, it was possible that all the elites would be killed and nothing would be gained.
"If there is no other way, we can send a group of disciples first. At least, we can get the first half of the 'Amazing Craftsmanship Scroll' …"
Another old man with cloudy eyes, thick crystal glasses, and white hair and beard shouted, "Even if we lose this year's competition because of this, it doesn't matter. In the next ten years, we will definitely teach the Mo Clan a lesson!"
"How can I not know that … but …"
Gongshu Ao closed his eyes slightly. "Do you know the current situation?"
Without waiting for these elders to answer, he continued, "The Gongshu family has spies everywhere. Some of our outer disciples also work in the armory of the court, military towns, and other forces. In terms of information, we are one of the few in the world. Although it seems that Wu Zhi is going to unify Dingzhou, the situation is really not good …"
"Several forces of the Blessed Enclave have shown interest in this woman. If they take action, the impact will be enough to cause hidden waves in the unification …"
The elders all revealed thoughtful expressions, "What do you mean, Great Elder?"
"Of course … wait!"
Gongshu Ao smiled slightly, showing his confidence. Obviously, he had a plan. "Wu Zhi actually has an Earth Immortal as his husband. It can be seen that he is not someone without a backer. In this competition, the stronger one will win. At that time, we will see …"
"If Wu Zhi still can't conquer Dingzhou City after a few months, naturally, there is no need to mention anything!"
"And if she can unify Dingzhou, there is hope for the throne. It will not be a problem to support it for a few decades, and it will not be a problem to rely on her …"
At this time, he finally revealed his full plan.
"First Elder is wise!"
The other elders of the Gongshu family were sincerely convinced and nodded.
Unbeknownst to him, in the hall, an invisible ripple flashed, and everything he saw and heard was transmitted to Wu Ming without any mistake.
"As expected, she has ulterior motives!"
Wu Ming waved his sleeve and dispersed the water mirror in front of him, but he was not very angry.
After all, even famous officials and generals had to rely on a wise ruler to have a way out. She was not raised by him, so it was very normal for her to have some disloyalty.
No, even if she was raised by him, if the situation was unfavorable and she became an ungrateful person, it was still unknown. The key was still her own strength!
"It's just that this group of people from the Gongshu family only know how to add flowers to brocade, but they don't know the meaning of providing timely help. No wonder they have been suppressed by the Mohists since ancient times!"
Obviously, no matter how open-minded Wu Ming was, when the Gongshu family relied on him in the future, he would definitely be more careful.
As for the force of the Gongshu family? He really didn't care much about it.
Wu Ming was not an ordinary Earth Immortal. The defense of Gongshu City seemed to be impregnable to the outside world, but in his eyes, it was just a matter of waving his hand to destroy it.
Of course, using force to force them was also a bad plan, and it was very stupid. It was like kidnapping a geomancer to look after the ancestral grave. If he wasn't afraid of losing his family line, he could try it.
Even though Wu Ming was proficient in the art of mechanisms, he didn't want to fight against a group of stubborn old people from the Gongshu family. Rather than that, it was better not to recruit people.
"It looks like … the Gongshu family's relying on me will have to wait until I unify Dingzhou!"
With this understanding, Wu Ming was too lazy to continue pretending to be courteous with this group of old people. After a few polite exchanges, he didn't even want to stay the night and directly left.
Before he left, he left Gongshu Zhe's last bit of puppet knowledge to Gongshu Rui, which could be considered a bit of fate.
…
"These people from the Gongshu family seem stubborn, but they are actually all crafty old foxes!"
Dingzhou, inside the Xie family's ancestral home.
Wu Ming sat cross-legged and brewed tea in front of him. Suddenly, he was startled and immediately shook his head.
"It seems that my husband's trip this time didn't go too smoothly!"
Wu Zhi took the cup and felt the spiritual energy in it. Her eyes narrowed slightly. "The spiritual tea that my husband planted is becoming more and more fragrant …"
"This is also the spiritual seed of the Four Elements Sect, not bad!"
Wu Ming poured a cup for himself. "As for E Xuan, you should understand the current situation, right?"
"Haha!"
Wu Zhi raised her eyebrows and naturally had a vigorous heroic spirit. "As a woman, I want to rule the world and set things right. I already have this awareness!"
She looked at Wu Ming, and her eyes couldn't help but emit deep affection. "It's already thanks to my husband that it can be so smooth. I don't dare to hope for too much …"
"You and I are husband and wife. Why are you so polite?"
Wu Ming looked at Wu Zhi's slightly bulging belly, and his eyes emitted infinite gentleness.
For him now, this kind of good husband and good father mentality was also a very subtle experience.
The Dao of the Saint changed with the world and was not tired when encountering love.
It was precisely because he was' not tired 'that he could play in the mortal world and experience all kinds of emotions. In the end, he could reach great mastery.
It was heartless but affectionate. It was affectionate but heartless!
Wu Zhi did not know what Wu Ming was thinking. He only felt that his husband was getting closer and closer. He could not help but heave a sigh of relief in his heart. A certain hidden worry completely disappeared.
"Report!"
A disharmonious voice suddenly barged in and interrupted the communication between the husband and wife.
"Come in!"
Wu Zhi's expression turned solemn, and he returned to being the military governor who commanded the country and the three armies bowed down to him.
"Reporting to the military governor!"
Ceng Yu walked in quickly with a worried expression. "The West Gate reported that a small team broke through the defense line and successfully entered the Prefecture City!"
Even if the city was surrounded, it was impossible for it to be completely impenetrable. It was extremely normal for such a small group of people to break through or enter the city. Moreover, it would not delay any major matters.
"For you to personally report such a small matter, what important figure is involved?"
Wu Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Sir, you have great foresight!"
Ceng Yu took a deep breath. "According to the intercepted knight's confession... It's the imperial court's imperial envoy, and there are a few experts escorting him!"
"As expected!"
Wu Zhi murmured and then waved his hand. "How many people care about the imperial court's righteousness now? Even if it spreads throughout the world, how many are willing to attack me? Ignore them and continue to besiege the city! "
