Chapter 221 Mechanism

Worked hard until noon.

Only then did Qin He start his journey south again.

More than a thousand corpses were buried and thirty were burned.

Thirty shadow puppet shows made Qin He yawn again after a night's rest.

The rewards are not very good.

Most of them give one year of Tao Xing or Nei Jin, which is just a thought.

There are even situations where there are no rewards at all.

Ordinary people did not exhume the body. The man in black robe did not recite the sentence and no reward was given. Burning it would be the same as not burning it.

The requirements for corpses for the same reward are getting higher and higher, and the lower limit of the reward is zero.

But after all, there were thirty corpses, which was enough.

I was given two skills, one Power Fruit, one Qingxin Pill, and one Peiyuan Pill.

Things are quite complicated.

The first is the skills, a copy of "Intermediate Copper Skin and Iron Bone Technique" and a book of "Mechanism Technique".

Intermediate Copper Skin and Iron Bone Technique: This is a spell from the abyss. By practicing it, you can harden a part of your body in times of danger, making it hard to be hurt by swords and as hard as copper and iron.

Previously, the old man of the Shaoliang family had mastered the elementary copper skin and iron bone technique, which was considered an advanced level.

It is also Qin He’s first advanced skill.

The low level can only harden one part, while the intermediate level can harden three parts, and the degree of hardening is higher.

The effect is very powerful, after all, it is a spell from the abyss.

The last time it was hardened was the heart, which had withstood a claw attack from the evil cultivator of the Ghost Path without leaving any trace.

Learn skills decisively, lower your head and slowly look down.

Grinning.

This time, I must make up for my regrets.

I have no choice but to use some tricks too much and I feel scared.

The second book, Mechanism Technique: This is a mechanism-making technology. Learn it and you will become a mechanism master.

Learn decisively and immediately learn a large number of machine-making techniques, and master the skills by heart.

Qin He was immediately surprised. Although the mechanism technique was mostly referred to as mechanism, it could actually be called a mechanism technique that would be more familiar to later generations.

This is awesome.

Qin He felt that as long as he was willing to spend money and think hard, he could build a steam engine.

It's just so fierce.

This skill comes from a craftsman from the White Lotus Sect named Wu Sanhe.

Those trebuchets were built under the supervision of Wu Sanhe.

Speaking of which, Wu Sanhe is not an ordinary person.

Wu Sanhe comes from a family of craftsmen, and his ancestors are said to be related to the Mohist family, the originator of mechanism art.

There are eighty-one lines of craftsmanship, and the mechanism craftsman ranks second, because the manufacturing and installation of mechanisms spans several trades, such as casting, carpentry, mechanism, stonemason, blacksmith, construction, civil engineering, etc.

The places with the most large institutions are city defenses and royal tombs.

Needless to say, city defense, in larger cities, especially border gates, the opening and closing of city gates must use mechanical techniques. There is also theft prevention of royal mausoleums. Throughout the dynasties, the royal mausoleums have almost never stopped work.

The Ministry of Industry is one of the "six ministries" of the imperial court, which shows its importance.

In addition, private shipbuilding, smelting, water power and various workshops will support a certain proportion of machine craftsmen.

The Wu family is one of the best among the mechanism craftsmen. They live as officials and specialize in building city gate mechanisms. Wu Sanhe's father also served as an official, the head of the Department of Institutions of the Ministry of Industry, and an eighth-grade junior official.

The Ministry of Industry is a very well-off bureau. When it comes to construction, there is never a fixed number. It can be more or less, and there are many tricks in it.

But there is also a disadvantage. Once something goes wrong, it is easy to lose your head.

Wu Sanhe's father was beheaded as a scapegoat in a border town institution collapse case. Wu Sanhe was also implicated and transferred to the Cemetery Bureau, responsible for the construction of cemetery institutions.

This mausoleum bureau is the "dying house" of the Ministry of Industry. How long he can live depends on when the emperor dies.

As soon as the emperor died, craftsmen who knew the secrets of the imperial mausoleum were bound to be buried with him, and the machine craftsmen were the first to bear the brunt.

When Wu Sanhe was transferred to the Mausoleum Bureau, the previous emperor had already spread rumors that the dragon body was uneasy.

If you want to survive, you must prepare early. Wu Sanhe and a group of craftsmen who were about to be buried secretly dug a secret tunnel and prepared explosives. After the mausoleum was closed, Wu Sanhe and others blew up the secret tunnel and escaped from the mausoleum.

But somehow the news leaked out, and the Feiyu Guard secretly hunted him. Wu Sanhe had no choice but to disfigure himself and beg on the street in order to survive.

But his ordeal did not end there. After a few days of begging, the Soldiers and Horses Division cleared out the homeless beggars in the city and threw him into the refugee camp outside the city.

As mentioned earlier, a refugee camp is a place where people can eat people, and only people are allowed in and out.

Later, there was a riot in the refugee camp, and no one out of ten survived. Wu Sanhe had another narrow escape. Only under the protection of the White Lotus Sect, he survived the knife edge of the army.

Since then, Wu Sanhe has joined the White Lotus Sect and become a disciple.

About two months ago, the White Lotus Sect's layout in the capital was thwarted, and a large number of followers moved to Lu to prepare for an uprising.

Wu Sanhe also came to the canal, and what happened today happened.

The decline of Wu Sanhe's fate was the result of the intertwining shadow of imperial power and the unfavorable world.

Logically speaking, the fathers are officials, and the descendants should at least be better than ordinary people, no matter how well-educated they are.

But the fact is that under the shadow of imperial power, no one is safe. Just go up a high-rise building today, and the building may collapse tomorrow, and you will be smashed to pieces, and a lot of people downstairs will be crushed to death.

In troubled times, it's even worse.

The shadow lantern captures the soul, the trial weighs the person, and the man in black robes opens the mouth: "There are many mechanisms and tricks, and the imperial mausoleum has a narrow escape; I experienced nine deaths in the refugee camp, and I spent my life under the white lotus flag."

Reward: A detailed location of the entrance to the collapsed imperial tomb.

This is not the reward of the man in black robe, but the shadow play reading of Wu Sanhe.

You can dig it up if you have time, but I don’t know if the body of the previous emperor was embalmed.
