"Young Tang's art of mechanism is indeed unique in the world, I don't deny this. But no matter how exquisite it is... it is just a art of mechanism after all."

"Second Master's words are wrong. What is just a skill of mechanism? Did I lose the bet I made with Er Master before? Many disciples under Er Master did lose under my Sky Mechanism Spider. That's because I personally use my hands to control the mechanism. If I control the five-level wolf spider soul, it will be much better in terms of flexibility and reaction. Those young people will never have the slightest chance to fight back."

"Oh, is it a new technology that the school has recently been born into Maoshan Taoism? I have also heard that using animal souls as the pivot to drive the mechanism is indeed a brilliant idea. But this method is still far from mature, right? Not to mention the martial arts boxing intention of the innate masters, it is a Maoshan soul-suppressing talisman, a Buddhist Zen singing, and even some methods to drive the ghosts in the left and right ways. As long as you find the right opportunity and position, you may directly hurt the soul and directly cause the entire mechanism beast to collapse. Master Fang directly controls it with his hands. Is there such a concern? "

"Hmph, it seems that Er Ye still knows the movements of my hall very clearly... But how can the skills of my Shenji Hall leave such a big flaw in people? It covers the smartest and outstanding talents in the world, and the ever-changing methods and techniques are emerging one after another. I believe that it will take no time to find a solution to it."

"Haha, I am also very confident about this. It is indeed not a big problem for your technology... But it is just a mechanism after all. Things linked with dead objects are more precise, the more likely they are to go wrong. Master Fang himself is clear about this. As long as someone understands the operating rules and finds the key points, you can restrain them. For example, I only needed one punch before..."

"How many masters in the world are as proficient in the art of mechanisms as the Second Master and have such a powerful vision? Yes, mechanisms are indeed not as flexible as living creatures, but they also have the biggest advantage of this is that they are simple, direct, convenient and fast. They can also win by quantity. For example, although my Sky Mechanical Spider spent more than 800,000 taels of silver, it was a step-by-step experiment, and the materials were so expensive. If it was mass-produced after it was finalized, it might be possible to make one for only tens of thousands of taels of silver. Even if it was not controlled by the soul, it would cost more than a thousand taels of silver to directly cultivate a skilled mechanism teacher, and it would only cost more than one or two years of hard work. And how much effort did the Second Master and Tangjiabao train them? Not to mention silver or something..."

"The Master Fang is far-fetched. How can people compare with mechanisms? No matter how exquisite and powerful the mechanism is, they are still built for people to use. Could it be that they can create mechanisms that can directly create mechanisms and use mechanisms and think about things? If you take a step back, even if you really have the ability in the future, you will be more obsessed with magic than the people of the Demon Sect who are controlled by art and become gods by nature... You must know that people who are not far away from others can not be the way. What I mean is not that the mechanisms of your hall are not strong, but the mechanisms are just mechanisms after all."

"Why did you bring Confucianism into it? Second Master is afraid that he will be confused. When did I say that mechanisms are stronger than humans? Mechanisms are indeed just tools for people to use. With powerful tools, they can magnify human abilities a hundred times. Compared with monsters and beasts, ordinary people are not very sharp in their minions. They are not very fierce in nature and strong in their strength, but they can often eat their flesh and sleep on their skin. Isn't it just that the power of tools? Therefore, being able to use tools is one of the biggest differences between us humans and beasts..."

"The Lord Fang said this is a bad thing, and the orangutan monkey can also use tools..."

Fang Zhifang applied some cooling oil on her temples. This was a special spiritual medicine for refreshing the mind in Medicine King Valley. She wiped it a little bit on her head. The cool feeling that was so cool that it could be lifted up hard as long as it was not a dead person. It was not until the coolness from both sides of her head met in the center of her brain that she breathed a sigh of relief, and her forehead, which almost exploded, finally calmed down.

After talking to Mr. Tang for a long time, she felt that it was more difficult than drawing ten machine drawings in succession and staying up late to operate the machine for one night. The two discussed and argued enthusiastically and fiercely, but there was almost no progress in the actual issues. It was not that she was unwilling to say it, but Mr. Tang was used to pulling the topic left and right, but it seemed that he was not completely off topic. It could always make her funny, who had always been very strong and reasonable, and she couldn't help but refute it. Tang Jiabao sent him to answer him.

Of course, what Mr. Tang, who is familiar with, is not meaningless, and undoubtedly has a deeper meaning. So she must respond without showing any weakness, while quickly considering the metaphor in the other party's words, guessing the other party's intentions, and evaluating the other party's position. Is there any special intention and intention... For most of the day, Mr. Tang was still so energetic until he left, as if he could continue for another day and night, but she was exhausted.

It is really tiring to deal with such people. Fang Zhifang could feel the faint meaning and intention in Mr. Tang's words, but the other party concealed and hid it very well. Half was intentional, and half was purely the gloomy and obscure habit of the Tang family, who did not like to express positively.

It might be much better if the other branch owners in the change of halls came to deal with it. After all, as the head of Shenji Hall, there are too many things to consider, and it is indeed a bit difficult to negotiate with people in person like this. But now the situation has left her with no choice.

"Master of the Head Office, let's forget it."

Hearing the words behind her, Fang Zhifang was a little surprised and couldn't help but look back at the young man who had been standing silently behind her.

Hu Qiao is a young man who is used to cleaning himself up very clean, which makes him look much younger than his actual age. He is twenty-seven years old this year, the youngest of Fang Zhifang's twelve deputys. He has just been transferred from the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the General Office. He doesn't say much in normal times, but he just steadily and thoughtfully executed Fang Zhifang's orders and collected the information that Fang Zhifang needs. Compared to Fang Zhifang, who has always been generous, he is like an obedient young wife. At this time, this sentence suddenly came out, which surprised Fang Zhifang.

"What did you say forgot?" Fang Zhifang smiled and raised some spirits with the cooling oil. She looked at her youngest deputy with interest.

Hu Qiao was silent for a while, as if she was not used to expressing her meaning like this. After a while, she said, "I think the Tang family has no sincerity. Even the real head Mr. Tang doesn't show up. Why do we waste time here again?"

"Do you think we are wasting time here?" Fang Zhifang couldn't help but smile bitterly. They had been in Tangjiabao for nearly half a month, but things still had no obvious progress. It seemed that they were really wasting time.

"Yes, just from their attitude, I know that they didn't take us seriously." Hu Qiao's quiet face, which looked like a woman, showed a blush. It was not shy, but a resentment that had been arguing for a long time. "Although his Tang family is powerful, my Shenjitang is not an ordinary Jianghu gang. From a small workshop to now, it can develop to this point in a few decades. Where is the branch of my Shenjitang in Jiuzhou in the world? Who doesn't know the exquisiteness and practicality of my Shenjitang? Every year, the income from the branch of each state to the main hall is over millions of taels. Which sect and which family in the world are there in the world?

Is there such a situation we are now? Master of the Lord of the Lord, as the leader of our Shenji Hall, came here to discuss cooperation with their Tang family, but they only sent a second child of the Tang family to deal with it. The old man of the Tang family was clearly in the Tang family fort, but he didn't even show up. The negligence of the blind man could see it! Master of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord, you don't have to slander them with false aphrodisiacs. These people in the world hold their own forces, stand up for themselves, and look down on our mechanical equipment skills, but just wait for two or three years. When the "Tiangong" plan is fully launched, and when our mechanical beasts are officially classified as imperial weapons, in a few years, we will see who will look at who will look at whom!"

After saying this big call in one breath, the flush on Hu Qiao's face slowly faded away, calmed her breath, looked at Fang Zhifang's quite entertaining eyes, and lowered her head in panic: "I know that the master of the chief will have a deep meaning that I don't know. I don't need to talk too much... but I really feel frustrated. I know that the master of the chief of the chief of the chief of this matter has also spent a lot of effort on this matter, and I haven't even slept much in the past two nights..."

Being able to feel the love and respect in Hu Qiao's eyes, a warm current flowed through Fang Zhifang's heart, making the restless heart feel much more comfortable in his heart these days. These young people who grew up in Shenjitang are basically from poor families. What they see and hear in their eyes are all the rise of Shenjitang in the past ten years, and the wonders and power of the machinery and equipment, so there is naturally a sense of arrogance in his heart. And Shenjitang's achievements over the past ten years were almost created by himself. In their eyes, their position is of course higher than the old man of the Tang family.

If we could have more than ten years to make these young people mature, to strengthen the foundation of Shenjitang, and to develop... Fang Zhifang often couldn't help but imagine this beautiful scene.

It’s a pity that there is no more than ten years of free time in reality. She could feel that she and Shenjitang had already reached the edge of a huge abyss and could sink into the bottomless darkness at any time. But these young people still can’t see it.

Fang Zhifang looked at Hu Qiao's face that was still somewhat immature, thought for a while, and asked: "Xiao Hu, do you think our Shenjitang is as strong as the sky, and there is no need to cooperate with anyone?"

"Isn't this...not?"

"Yes. For decades, no gang or organization in the world has developed rapidly. We did not make more money, nor did we bring this world, but we had a great influence. Now the border army has begun to gradually adopt our mechanism beasts. If the Tiangong Plan goes well, everything will change from now on due to mechanism techniques... These are what you see." Fang Zhifang smiled, but she smiled bitterly. "But you can't see that our foundation is too shallow compared to our achievements. Didn't you hear what Mr. Tang always said today? No matter how exquisite the mechanism is, it is just a mechanism after all."

"...Really?...Why, who can..." Hu Qiao looked dull as if she heard the heavenly book.

"...There are too many people who can do it. You just can't see it, but you can't see it. For an organization that develops too fast and too big, and uses too much power to craftsmen, shallow foundations are the most deadly. If the hand holding the mechanism is not strong enough and not tight enough, it may be snatched away by the mechanism." Fang Zhifang smiled bitterly. "So we can only try to find a strong enough hand to help us, or at least to scare others. In fact, we have had such a hand before, but unfortunately, it's a pity that million taels of silver every year. It turns out that others haven't even looked at us directly, so now we can only find one again. The Tang family is the hand we need now."

"So...so that's how it is? I don't know the difficulties of the chief lord, but it's really...it's really..." Hu Qiao's face was flushed, a little shy and anxious, and a little frustrated. "But now the Tang family clearly didn't see us. Did they see through this? What should we do?"

"No. The Tang family has the intention to cooperate with us. If Mr. Tang sees far enough and smart enough," Fang Zhifang looked meaningfully out of the inn window. This is the guest room specially arranged for them by Tangjiabao. Looking out from the window from a distance, you can see the huge shadow of the inner house of the Tang family. "Although the Tang family's hand is very powerful, very powerful, so powerful that almost no one dares to move him. But if someone holds a powerful mechanism in his hand, the situation will probably not be like this. You must know that they dare not move, not that they don't want to move. If the old man of Tang is not confused, he will definitely understand this."

Suddenly, hurried footsteps came from outside the door. A man sweating profusely rushed into the wing room without even knocking on the door. He held a piece of white paper in his hand and said to Fang Zhifang: "Master of the Chief Executive, urgently report! Something happened to Xuzhou Chief Executive! Master Wei Se was attacked and killed. The one who took action was Tang Qingxiao Tang Si from Tangjiabao and He Sier from Maoshan School!"

"What?" Fang Zhifang suddenly stood up. A stack of books in Hu Qiao's hand behind her slipped to the ground, but the person was completely unaware of it. Both of them looked ashen and shocked.

"How could it be...How could it be...Shouzou Wei is an important part of the Tiangong Plan. We still have many plans that he needs to complete...Tang family...How could the Tang family send someone to do such things..."

Unlike Hu Qiao's dumbfounded chicken. Fang Zhifang's face was equally ugly, but her eyes were as cold as ice. After a few cold lights flashed, she took a step and strode out of the wing room: "Pack up all the information and go directly to meet the old master of the Tang family. If he didn't see me yet, I would immediately turn back to Xuzhou and bring all the mechanical beasts of Shenjitang to ask him for an explanation." (To be continued...)
