Chapter 316 A Hero Meets Again and Becomes a Stranger Friend and a Goodbye Enemy
Sun Dasheng's residence is easily recognizable.
Although Qingyun didn't live in the village for a few days, he was still able to touch the door based on his memory.
The place where there were feasts and banquets, the hall with carved beams and painted buildings, there is only a mess left, and the eyes are full of scorched mud.
Several people found some daily clothes in the courtyard, and chased the dogs out of the deserted village.
"Old Du, the methods we can think of, the enemy must also be able to think of.
Will they go before us? "
Hu Caiting asked anxiously.
Du Hui shook his hand and threw a whip in the air,
"Think, they will definitely think of it.
But a tribe like Sun Wu has existed for a hundred years here, and it has its own way.
There must be additional arrangements in the mountains, run by a trusted family for generations, it is not so easy to be breached.
The horror of Tianzong lies in its secrecy.
Once it is activated, and the power is transferred to the open, it may not be really powerful to eat Sun Wu.
The old man felt that Sun Wu's vitality should not be damaged, so there was nothing to worry about. "
Two dog carts headed towards Shuixi Mountain.
As soon as it entered the mountains, the head dog was in a daze. Obviously, Sun Wuzhong had arranged in advance to cut off the trace of the scent.
The Baishan Mountains are vast, and dragons are hidden in hidden caves. It is not easy to find Sun Wu's emergency lair.
When Qingyun and the others were at a loss, they suddenly heard the sound of fighting not far from the forest.
"Go and have a look first! Maybe it's from Sun Wu."
Qingyun jumped out of the car first, and ran over quickly.
More than a dozen thugs surrounded a man and a woman. The man had a high nose and deep eyes, and the woman was beautiful and agile.
Ji Zaixing is usually good at bluffing people, but if he really fights, he is just a second-rate bastard.
Although Yin Seke's swordsmanship still has some merits, it is obviously not enough to deal with these many people.
She was already dripping with sweat from the fight, seeing that only by resorting to the last resort would she have a chance to get rid of the bad luck in front of her.
She clenched the hilt of Ningmei's sword tightly, ready to trigger the disintegration of the demon at any time.
Among the besieging crowd, there were two master fighters, their focus was on Yin Seke at this time, they stretched out their stances and pressed forward step by step.
Seeing that there was no way to escape, Yin Seke turned his heart and was about to start, when Qingyun's warning suddenly surged in his mind,
"Junior Sister, you can no longer use that sword.
From now on, I will be your life-saving means, and you don't need those troubles.
Have you forgotten this promise? "
That voice is still so real when I think about it now, no, how could it be so real, could it be~?
That was not an illusion, but a real voice, here he is!
Brother Qing, he actually came!
"Hey, you guys, come to me if you have anything to do!"
The figure of the boy in white shirt gradually became clear with the voice.
Ji Zaixing panted heavily and glanced at Yin Seke,
"You little lover, you can! You have style!"
Yin Seke's cheeks flushed with embarrassment, and she was a little uncomfortable even speaking.
"You, don't talk nonsense, he, him, him and me..."
"Okay, okay, okay, let's talk about this after finishing this matter..."
Seeing Yin Seke, Ji Zaixing almost forgot that she was in a dangerous situation, and hurriedly changed the subject to stabilize her soul.
"Be careful, someone is approaching from the left!"
Yin Seke was only a clever one. When he came back to his senses, he raised his sword and glared at the approaching crowd.
"Who are you? Brat?"
Qingpao Ke, the leader of the other two, looked at Qingyun contemptuously, obviously not paying attention to this young man.
Qingyun knew that he was now in the Tianzong intelligence system and had a great reputation,
He didn't want to announce his real name to make the other party more vigilant, so he just snorted coldly,
"Seeing injustice on the road, draw your sword to help.
how?A dozen of you, surrounded by two people, are you trying to rob? "
The man in green shirt said angrily,
"I don't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth, do you think that a child like you who doesn't know the heights of the sky and the earth can be strong in any situation?"
He glanced to the left and right, and the two criminals rushed towards Qingyun with their swords each.
Seeing that there were many opponents, Qingyun made up his mind to capture the king first, and take advantage of the opponent's underestimation to directly capture the chieftain, which is the best strategy.
So when he saw the two approaching, he didn't intend to scare the snake, stepped on the Lingbo step and easily passed between the two, ignoring the astonished stares of the two, he went straight to the man in blue.
The man in the green shirt smiled contemptuously, took a step back, and gave Qingyun to the bamboo hat guest beside him.
choke!The sword blew!
The bamboo hat guest drew his sword and stabbed out, the blade was swift and steady.
As soon as an expert makes a move, he will know if there is one. This is at least a master of Tiannu level!
Qingyun paints the ground and keeps himself in prison, the sword captures the wind and observes the ground, watching my life advance and retreat, waiting for work with ease.
The sword of the swordsman in the bamboo hat did not change, and he stabbed straight.
The wind is on the ground, the sun is rising,
Qingyun's epee rolled up thousands of piles of snow, and also scattered Qian Renxue!
The sword shadow of the bamboo hat guest suddenly dispersed, as if being blown away by the wind, scattered into thousands of snowflakes, forming a silver net that covered Qingyun's head and face.
One sword turns thousands into falling——falling down!
Dongzong?Xiao Jiajian!
Xiao Jiahuan Flower Sword!
This bamboo hat guest turned out to be the Xiao family!
Because of his friendship with Xiao Feng, Xiao Yan, and Xiao Ziliang, Qingyun did not want to have an antagonism with members of the Xiao family.
Therefore, he recognized the Huanhua sword technique, immediately danced the sword to protect his body, and flew back, doubtfully saying,
"Is your surname Xiao?"
The man paused slightly when he heard the words, but soon swung his sword and attacked again.
"Xiao? Don't mention this surname in front of me.
People with the surname Xiao, if I see one, I will kill one!See two, kill a pair! "
What kind of enmity is this? As for this?
Qing Yun was still puzzled at first, but seemed to suddenly think of something, and then he was relieved.
"You are Xiao Yunyin!"
The bamboo hat guest was shocked again, and the sword finally stopped,
"Who are you? How can you know about my old affairs in the Southern Dynasty?"
"I'm originally from the Southern Dynasty."
The two made a step forward each, Qingyun had already lost the opportunity to catch people by surprise, so he simply spread out his identities,
"Don't change your name in the down line, don't change your surname in the seat
The new Tangun is Qingyun. "
"What? You are Qingyun?"
The person in front of him is none other than the former King of Badong in the Southern Qi Dynasty, and now the Marquis of Yufu, Xiao Zixiang, named Yunyin.
He is the most outstanding of the many descendants of Emperor Wu of Qi Xiao Yu.
However, sons are divided into elders and younger sons. In his later years, in order to pass on the crown prince smoothly, Xiao Yu secretly ordered Hulu's army to go to Jingzhou ruled by Xiao Yunyin to investigate the evidence of his rebellion.
If you want to commit a crime, there is nothing to worry about, Xiao Yunyin has a wide range of friends, and there are many heroes in his family, so he has become a handle in the hands of Hulu's army.
At that time, the one in charge of investigating the case was Ru Faliang, one of the eight former sword masters. He accused Badong King of treason, and used countermeasures to make Xiao Yunyin suspect that his subordinates had informed him to cleanse his confidantes, which lost the hearts of the people.
Later, Xiao Yan's father Xiao Shunzhi invited Xiao Yunyin into the capital to seek rebellion.
At that time, Prince Xiao Changmao was not in good health, and he was afraid that he would be ahead of his father.
In order to accumulate merit, he did not approve of the killing of Xiao Yunyin, but just threw him into the river and lied to the outside world that he was hanged.
The king of Badong was demoted to Yufuhou, and his family name was taken away, and he was renamed the Luo family.
This matter was originally extremely confidential, except for a few important clan ministers of the Xiao family, no one knew the truth.
The former Jiang Xia King Xiao Feng was one of those important ministers. He was also inspired by this story and escaped.
Qing Yun and Xiao Feng have a close relationship, the latter has long since forgotten the love of his homeland, and he shared this past when they were chatting.
Xiao Yunyin was very surprised when he was called to reveal his identity, and he stopped to attack again, and the atmosphere froze for a moment.
What broke the weird atmosphere was a sassy female voice:
"Junior Sister Yin! Junior Sister Yin, you, why are you here?"
"""""Knock on the blackboard time"""""
Badong King Xiao Zixiang is Xiao Yunyin. According to official history, he was hanged and killed by Prince Xiao Changmao.
Several people who should have died in the official history are resurrected for various reasons in this work, such as Xiao Feng, Xiao Ziliang, Queen Mother Feng, Feng Mo Nu, the culprit and his female companions.They have their own reasons for not dying. Since the author is writing a novel of martial arts style, I always have to write a few people to death.But according to the previous promise, the author cannot change the death time of the official history biography at will, so I can only use the dead body to return to the soul, let some people who have not seen the dead come back to the soul and die again with a reason that is not absurd, and explain it separately to distinguish the truth from the false.
After Xiao Yunyin's death, his title was downgraded to Marquis of Yufu, Yufuyu's belly, and he was not buried in the belly of a fish, so why was he appointed an inexplicable Yufuhou?The cause and effect of this work is based on this.In addition, it is indeed a historical fact that Xiao Yunyin's descendants changed the octopus surname.Xiao and octopus had different pronunciations in ancient times, so Xiao Yunyin was quite taboo to hear Qingyun say that his surname was Xiao.
Xiao, withered and cut first, xiao; octopus, shijiaoqie, siao, now there is no such sound, and two pronunciations of shao/xiao are derived in modern Chinese, shao is closer to the ancient sound, and xiao is the absurd sound next to Xiao. read.Many modern polyphonic characters are formed due to the different pronunciations of Chinese in different periods and regions (such as the Xin we mentioned before), and some are formed by mistakes like the word octopus.So the identification of Xiao octopus is not a bug of listening to homophones with empty ears.
Next, we will mainly talk about the tricks that Ji Zaixing played in front of the second prince of Korea.Because the author once promised that he would not use black technology and black magic that is out of date, so it is necessary for us to decipher Ji Zaixing's tricks.
Before that, let's briefly talk about the history of hardware, so as to lay the foundation for the detailed description of the history of hardware later.Ancient people's understanding of metals is gradually developing.The first metal to be discovered was what is now gold.Because there is bare gold (dog head gold) in nature, the ancients' earliest cognition of smooth and shiny substances (now metals) is gold.So the word gold was originally used to refer to all metals.However, with the development of smelting technology, silver, copper, iron, and tin were gradually separated and identified.The so-called hardware is gold, silver, copper, iron and tin.So what is the metal other than hardware called?collectively referred to as lead.Lead includes black lead, white lead, silver lead, Pu lead, weak lead, Japanese lead, Persian lead, etc. Some say green gold, some say black tin, and their properties are different.The solid is lead, and the liquid is mercury, which refers to all metals except hardware. The so-called lead-mercury technique refers to the reaction of all inorganic salt compounds.This is why we cannot understand some of the techniques of lead and mercury in "Zhouyi Cantongqi", because linguists only think that it refers to lead and mercury, and they cannot find the corresponding correct phenomenon without expanding them to all metal salts .In fact, "Zhouyi Cantongqi" is a very good introduction to inorganic chemistry. With this point of view, you can find the mystery of Cantongqi when you look back with your middle school chemistry knowledge.
Having said that, let's go back to hardware.Among the hardware, the tin at the end of the crane has been widely used in ancient times.In addition to being used in alloys, tin can also be made into many everyday metal products that are cheaper than silver, beautiful and durable.But metal tin has a special feature, that is, under extremely cold conditions, tin will slowly corrode physically and turn into powder.And this kind of rust is contagious like the plague. Once the physically rusted tin touches the normal tin, the latter will accelerate the rust.
The self-boiling trick of cold water can be done with quicklime, and the metal cup powder can be performed with a tin cup, so that the gray tin powder detected during the slag inspection is still in a metallic state, and it was difficult for the ancients to distinguish under limited conditions. The difference between tin and silver powder.In the article we said that the second prince prepared a silver cup, but Ji Zaixing has three magical skills, such as putting lime powder and changing props and cups, it is not difficult for him at all.Then send Zai Xingwu Sword Transformation Powder, which is actually the same trick.
As for leading thunder, it has already been explained in the article that Ji Zaixing actually used loud arrows to direct Tuoer to set off fireworks.Fireworks were not commercialized in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, but the principle of their prototype and the reaction of flames have been studied in Tao Hongjing's works.We cited the original text of "The Collection of Notes on Materia Medica" in the previous article. Tao Hongjing distinguished the types of nitrates by observing the flame color of nitrates.But Tao Hongjing only mentioned this method at that time, and only cited the example of potassium nitrate, and did not list the flame colors corresponding to each saltpeter in detail.The author tends to Tao Zhenren to have done this work back then, but too many ancient books have been lost and have not been preserved, otherwise he would not be able to write that kind of experience.The so-called "Hundred Flame Dance Record" in this article is a fabricated transcript of Yanse, and this book was stolen by Ji Zaixing.
With the basis of flame reaction and the basic gunpowder formula, fireworks can be produced.Both of these studies happen to have been completed by Tao Hongjing, so the technical foundation for fireworks is already in place.As for how to make fireworks into patterns, in the old-fashioned fireworks craft, it is done with templates, which is not difficult. (Most large-scale fireworks are now numerically controlled)
Because Tao Hongjing's research was very advanced in that era, colorful fireworks can only be the private skill of a few people, and there is still a long way to go before commercialization.
Huanglong residents' fear of fireworks is unfounded. This is definitely not a joke.Under the weak scientific understanding of the ancient public, they would really associate incomprehensible phenomena such as loud noises, explosions, and daytime meteor showers with the collapse of the sky.
Unfounded worry is not a story of nothingness.Even in modern times, when the Tunguska explosion occurred, many people believed that the sky had collapsed. 100 years have passed, and no one can give a scientific explanation and conclusion about the mysterious big bang in Siberia.Mainstream science believes that it was caused by a comet meteorite, because the core of the comet is ice, and eventually disappeared without leaving any craters, but the shocking loud noise and destructive power, I believe that most witnesses will have fear of the sky.
Meteorite impacts of this scale mostly occur in high-latitude regions, such as Siberia.But even in North China, the apocalypse explosion during the Ming Dynasty is still a big mystery that has not yet been solved.
In fact, even if the size of the meteorite is smaller, as long as it can produce a fireball visible to the naked eye during the process of passing through the atmosphere, it can cause panic in the hearts of ancient witnesses.Maybe someone in Qi State has seen the stars fall in the sun and became ill.Residents of Huanglong Mansion in this article will also be shocked by the sight of fireworks in the daytime.This kind of reaction is in line with the temperament of the times.
