Liao Zhai alchemist

Chapter 301 Entering the Earling Country

Qingtong nodded and said: "Of course I have to try. But don't be discouraged if you fail the first time. This gunpowder is difficult to refine. When I just learned how to play gunpowder, refining gunpowder tortured me for a year. "

Having said this, he couldn't help showing a bit of embarrassment on his face.

At that time, he was once disheartened because of this, and planned to give up shooting guns.If it wasn't for Bai Zan's encouragement later, he wouldn't have learned this spell.

It's just that now the spell has been completed, and the beauty is gone.

Just when he fell into remembrance, Zhang Wei had already started to operate.

After a while of fierce operation, he said to Qingtong: "Uncle, is this done?"

Awakened by Zhang Wei's words, Qingtong withdrew her thoughts, and then saw some black particles in Zhang Wei's hands.

???

Qingtong stared, she couldn't believe her eyes at all!Then he stretched out his hand to grab these small granules, twisted them lightly and said, "The medicine is granulated, loose but not loose...this...these are the best black gunpowder granules!"

Black powder is the product of sparks from dead fire burning strange wood and rotten soil after cooling.

If the burst sparks are large, it is possible to form this granular black powder.If the spark is small, it's fine powdered black powder.

Granular black powder, [-]% more powerful out of thin air!
"How did you do it?" Qingtong couldn't help taking a breath, and asked in disbelief.

Zhang Wei smiled and said, "Don't forget, I am an alchemist!"

Qingtong shook her head and said: "This has nothing to do with you being an alchemist! This thing doesn't need an alchemy furnace..."

As he talked, he kept silent.

Because Zhang Wei is making the next batch of black powder again.

This time, Zhang Wei did not scoop up a small spoonful of rot, but took all the rot.

Then burn the strange wood with dead fire.

Seeing this scene, Qingtong couldn't help but said: "This is too much, it's hard for you to control the fire..."

Before he could finish his words, Zhang Wei had skillfully manipulated the dead fire and began to burn the strange wood surrounding him.

At this time, the strange wood did not make that terrifying scream, but began to moan comfortably.

Zhang Wei said: "I found that the strange sound made by the strange wood is because the fire is not right, which makes the strange wood feel uncomfortable. And the right fire can make the strange wood make a pleasant sound, and the wood is calcined better. !"

This is not what he said at all, but what the alchemy furnace told him.But it didn't stop him from speaking out.

Qingtong went numb at once, could this be the ability of an alchemist?He can grasp this kind of knowledge that he never knew before just refining it once!
Qingtong has been refining black powder for many years, but he dare not change at all, because for him, change often means failure!

He doesn't understand the principle, so he can only follow the gourd. Change is basically impossible for him.

At this time, the strange wood and rotten soil burned by the dead fire were about to burst into sparks, but Zhang Wei grabbed the handful of yellow millet. He didn't directly sprinkle the yellow millet into the dead fire, but put it next to it. , Slowly bake the yellow millet with the residual temperature of the dead heat.

Gradually, Huang Xiaomi made a slight cracking sound of 'beep beep bobo', and then Zhang Wei sprinkled these yellow millets in!
"The climate in southern Xinjiang is hot, and the water vapor content in the air is high. After these millets are taken out, some water vapor will inevitably corrode. If you join the dead fire at this time, you will directly fail!"

Zhang Wei explained lightly.

When Qingtong heard this, he suddenly realized.It turned out that the reason for his failure was here.

So he couldn't help asking: "Then you bake it like this to get out the moisture?"

Zhang Wei shook his head and said, "Not only do we need to roast the moisture, but we also need to roast the millet to explode, and the inside of the millet will be slightly roasted and exploded, which is conducive to the entry of dead fire, strange wood, and rotten soil."

It is similar to roasting yellow millet into millet popcorn.A porous and fluffy structure is produced.

After adding Huang Xiaomi, a large number of sparks erupted suddenly from the dead fire, and this scene also made Qingtong envious.

The more sparks erupt, the higher the utilization rate of this material.Generally speaking, at Qingtong's level, his material utilization rate is about half.It is just one catty of material, and half a tael of black gunpowder can be refined.

And their special black powder of Jindingguan depends entirely on luck.

But judging by how Zhang Wei is refining, his material utilization rate is very likely to reach [-]%, or even more!
At this moment, Zhang Wei suddenly waved his hand, and his rampant soldiers flew out of his hand, and then each breathed into the dead fire!

The yin qi exhaled by rampant soldiers brought up the yin wind, and burned the dead fire even more vigorously!

"This... nephew, why did you do this?" Qingtong immediately asked.

"The wind helps the fire, which is conducive to the full use of materials. But I don't recommend you to learn, because if you don't do it well, the wind may blow out the fire!"

The wind can help the fire, but the wind can also put out the fire!
As soon as this sentence came out, Qingtong immediately accepted this thought.I haven't even learned how to walk yet, how can I expect to run!
So, with the help of the wind, more sparks erupted.It's as beautiful as fireworks.

Finally, the material burned out and turned into a small ball of ashes.

But Zhang Wei made a move, and many rampant soldiers flew out, each of them picked up a pellet of gunpowder and placed it in front of Zhang Wei.

The secret gunpowder of Jindingguan has a little golden color, so it can be called golden gunpowder.

Qing Tong looked at these dots of golden gunpowder, and couldn't help asking: "Nephew, can you share some of this gunpowder with me?"

He was a little embarrassed. It was always embarrassing for the elder to ask for the younger generation's things.

But he is really envious of this thing!
The golden gunpowder of Jindingguan is stronger than the general black powder, and it can produce more 'yang energy'.This kind of Yang Qi is not the Yang Qi of a man, but the Qi of Zhengyang!

Yellow millet is the grain that can best contain positive yang energy, and it is the food that can best supplement yang energy.Therefore, Jindingguan used yellow millet to add black powder to refine their golden powder.

This kind of golden gunpowder doubles the power against evil spirits!
Faced with Qingtong's request, Zhang Wei certainly would not refuse, as he is very good at refining this stuff.

After getting the gold gunpowder, Qingtong carefully saved it, and then said to Zhang Wei: "Since the gunpowder is refined, I will teach you how to release the gun."

The two took advantage of the night to leave the small town and stood by the Hongshui River.Then Qingtong said: "This gun shooting technique, with gunpowder and gunpowder, is actually more than half of the success. The rest is aiming and firing."

"Aiming, you only need to think about the enemy, the firecracker will not let go. And to activate, you need the cooperation of spells!"

As he said that, Qingtong taught Zhang Wei the incantation of shooting guns.In the future, you only need to hold the firecracker, look at, or think about the enemy, and then read the mantra to activate it.

In order to prevent the firecracker from 'going off', the process of firing is so troublesome.You must hold the firecracker yourself, and then recite the mantra.

It is equivalent to authentication of behavior and voice before launching!
And with a launch, either you die, or I die!Because firing the gun is usually the last trick of Mage Meishan, if this move can't kill the enemy, then he really has nothing to do.

Zhang Wei loaded his bronze gunpowder with gold powder, and Qingtong was on the sidelines to guide him: "If you are dealing with a physical enemy, you can also put projectiles in it, and the power of the projectiles released by this blasting technique is also very terrifying. "

Qing Tong looked around and said to Zhang Wei: "That hill is a barren hill, you can aim and shoot there."

The hill is on the other side of the river, at least five or six miles away from here.But listening to Qingtong's words, it seems that these distances are nothing.

Zhang Wei nodded in understanding, then held the handle of the firecracker, and pointed at the mountain from afar.

Then Zhang Wei recited the incantation, and the firecracker also slowly emitted light.

Then, there was a loud bang, Zhang Wei only felt a slight shock in his hand, and then a ten-foot-long flame spewed out in front of the firecracker.An ordinary bronze projectile flew forward along with the loud noise, sound and light.

In just an instant, the top of the hill in the distance was directly blown up, half of the mountain exploded, rocks and soil exploded suddenly, and then fell one after another.

After a long time, when the dust settled, Zhang Wei saw that the upper half of the hill had completely disappeared, leaving only half of the hill in disgrace.

"This power!" Zhang Wei looked at the bronze firecracker in his hand in disbelief.What is the concept of breaking through and blowing up a mountain?
Qingtong who was standing behind him also watched secretly.This power also greatly exceeded his imagination.

Gold gunpowder is twice as powerful as ordinary gunpowder, and granule gunpowder is 2.6% stronger than ordinary gunpowder. Calculated in this way, this power is 1 (1.3×2×[-]) times that of ordinary gunpowder!

So and so, this power is also right!Qingtong thought for a while, and finally figured it out.The blasting technique is already very powerful, so if it is strengthened by 2.6 times, it was supposed to knock down a small mountain, but now it is not surprising to knock down half a mountain.

Both of them looked at the mountain, admiring the charm of the explosion.

Then Qingtong said: "This firecracker needs a few days of warming up before it can be put down after firing a shot, otherwise the firecracker will explode!"

Zhang Wei looked at the hot firecracker in front of him, and nodded.

"However, if you use better materials and warm them for a longer period of time, this interval will be greatly shortened." Qingtong continued.

"Then can I refine a few more?" Zhang Wei said suddenly.

"Smelt a few more, you pick up gunpowder by the side of the road..." Qing Tong just wanted to tease a few words, and then suddenly realized that this gunpowder is easier for Zhang Wei than picking up by the side of the road!

So, there was an awkward silence.Then Qingtong smiled and said: "Of course, you can refine as many as you want, as long as the gunpowder can keep up!"

At this moment, a picture suddenly appeared in his mind.

I saw Zhang Wei discharge a row of firecrackers, and then fired a volley at the enemy in front.

After a round of volleys, the enemies in front, the ground, and even the air were all turned into ashes by Zhang Wei!
Thinking of this, Qingtong felt a chill, and then threw this nonsensical picture out of her mind.

Seeing that it was getting late, Qing Tong said to Zhang Wei: "Okay, you have also learned the skill of shooting guns. If you want to use guns to be more powerful in the future, you need to nurture better fire guns and refine more powerful guns." Good gunpowder."

He paused and said, "Now let's go back and rest, and leave early tomorrow morning."

The two went back to Redwood City.

And just after they left, a fairy emerged from the Hongshui River.

The immortal looked at the two people who were leaving with lingering fear, and couldn't help cursing in his heart: "I don't know where it came from, a picky bastard who shoots guns here in the middle of the night! I'm scared to death!"

And on the side of the collapsed hill, there is also a little god who wants to cry but has no tears.

It was fine at first, sitting at home and watching the stars, but I didn't expect that the sky would fall, and with a loud bang, this house was gone!

What kind of gods have I provoked, why did my home be blown away?
If I hadn't been able to hide quickly, I would have been beaten to death!

The mountain god on this small mountain looked aggrieved, sad and wanted to cry at this moment, but he was a little thankful that he was not beaten to death.

This is also mainly because Zhang Wei is aiming at the top of the mountain, not him, the mountain god, otherwise he will be killed by the firecracker...

Zhang Wei fired a blunderbuss, which frightened the two gods.

....................................................................................

The next day, Zhang Wei and Qing Tong bid farewell to Dr. Zuo and set off again with soybeans and white jade.

The two walked along the Hongshui River not long before they came to a large mountain.

At this time, Qingtong said: "The passage to the country of Erling is in the mountains."

After speaking, he strode forward, and Zhang Wei hurriedly followed.

The mountains are overgrown with weeds and rocks.After walking for a day, they finally came to a cave.

This cave is not big, only half as tall as Zhang Wei.And it doesn't look too deep.

Then Qingtong said: "Climb in along the cave."

Zhang Wei stretched out his head and saw that the cave was only five feet deep, and he could see the head at a glance. Could there be a mystery in it?
At this time, Qingtong climbed in first.I saw that Qingtong climbed to the depths of the cave within a few steps, but he didn't stop, but continued to climb in.

Then Zhang Wei was surprised to see that every inch he climbed, his body shrunk by an inch, and the depth of the hole was like a funnel, which became smaller as he went in.

Finally, Qingtong became only the size of a fist, he turned his head and shouted to Zhang Wei: "It's ok, come in!"

So Zhang Wei also got down on his stomach and crawled inside.

Sure enough, as he climbed in, his body gradually became smaller. In the end, he turned into a little man one inch tall, standing straight in front of a hole.

Looking back, the entrance of the cave, which was only half a person's height, now seems to be a huge cave that lifts the sky.The soybeans and white jade guarding the door seem to be prehistoric monsters.

Both of them got in, and Bai Yu and Huang Dou followed suit.

Not long after, there were two more one-inch-tall dogs beside Zhang Wei.

Everyone got smaller, Qingtong pointed to the hole in front of him and said: "This is the real entrance to the country of Erling. The road ahead is just a zoomer."

If you are an ordinary person, you will definitely not take it seriously when you face this small hole that is only an inch high.But only when you get smaller and you can walk into this cave, you will know that there is a cave inside!
Walking along this passage, I don't know how long I walked, suddenly my eyes lit up, and I finally walked out of the passage!
At this time, Qingtong took out two tall hats from her bosom and said, "Put on these hats to hide our human identities!"

The tall hat was in the shape of a pointed cone. After thinking about the top of the head, Zhang Wei also understood what was going on.

The two put their hats on, and then Qingtong led the way.

"This Erling country is similar to the outside world. It also has cities. But they don't make a living by farming."

"If they don't farm, what do they eat? Do they eat their brains?" Zhang Wei asked.

"They have their own way, you will know in a while!" Qingtong said.

The two continue to move forward here.Zhang Wei found that the ground here is very soft, and it feels a little hard to step on it.

Not long after the two walked, a city appeared in front of their eyes.

"Earguo City"

This is the name of the city.The pinna is the outer ear.

When the two walked to the gate of the city, they saw a group of ear listeners pointing at a notice at the gate of the city.

The notice was written in human characters, which Zhang Wei could understand.

It read: "Today, some bandits stole the treasured soil from the palace. The emperor was furious and issued a notice to arrest the bandits. If any citizen finds the bandits, they can arrest them or report them. The emperor will definitely reward them!"

As the listeners gathered, they talked and said: "This notice is also out of mind. I didn't draw what this person looks like. Who knows who it is?"

"That's right, without a portrait, even if you find it, you won't know it's a bandit."

"It seems that the guards of the palace are getting weaker and weaker, and even the treasured land will be stolen!"

"It's a disgrace to the people of the country!"

These listeners were discussing in a hurry, but they didn't care about the emperor's authority at all.

When Zhang Wei wanted to see the excitement, Qing Tong grabbed his sleeve and hurried away.

"Let's go, we are strangers, if we are suspected, it will be troublesome!" Qingtong said.

Zhang Wei also understood immediately, and left in a hurry with Qing Tong.

Walking on the street, watching the people coming and going, Zhang Wei asked, "How will uncle take revenge?"

Qing Tong said: "Originally my plan was to go to the palace of Erling Country, and then detonate the formation disk there, blowing up this place, but now with you, this plan has to be changed."

"Let's rob this Erling country once, and then you leave with the good stuff, and I'll blow up here again!" Qingtong said viciously.

Zhang Wei nodded.

While the two were wandering on the street and discussing specific strategies, a person suddenly walked towards them, took their hands, and whispered, "Are you crazy? Why are you acting on the street so openly!"

After finishing speaking, he didn't care about anything, grabbed Zhang Wei and Qing Tong and walked to a side alley.

Zhang Wei looked at Qingtong, who shook his head at him.Then the two were obediently led into the alley.

When we arrived in the alley, there was no one left or right, so the ear listener said, "What's the matter with you? Now that the investigation is so tense, you are still walking leisurely on the street?"

Zhang Wei and Qing Tong looked at each other again, but neither spoke.

"Which branch do you two belong to?" the man continued to ask.

Then at this moment, Huangdou and Baiyu suddenly called out.

"Wow, woof, woof!" The two dogs barked suddenly, and they were also pretending to be ordinary dogs.

After Huangdou and Baiyu shouted, they heard someone shouting outside: "They found it! Quick, rush in and arrest people!"

But the listening person in front of him changed his expression slightly, and was about to say something.

But at this time, Zhang Wei grabbed him and said to Huang Dou, "Find a way to avoid them."

Soybean nodded, then sniffed the air, and then ran away.

Zhang Wei also tugged at the ears and started running after Huangdou.Qingtong and Baiyu also followed behind.

Huang Dou led everyone through the alleyway, and the listener heard the voices of those who were chasing after him, and suddenly said: "No, we will be caught if we continue like this."

"Let's go separately!" He said firmly.

Zhang Wei also nodded at this time and said: "I think so too, I haven't asked you yet?"

The man immediately said: "My name is Amu, and I am from the Peijin branch!"

Zhang Wei nodded to him and said, "I understand, let's go!"

After speaking, he immediately nodded with Qingtong, and then the three of them flew away.

................................................

Zhang Wei took Huangdou around for a while, and then met Qingtong again.

After the two met, Zhang Wei asked, "What's going on?"

Qingtong frowned and said, "When I was imprisoned, I heard that there was a rebel organization called Tiandihui in Erling Country. Could he be a member of that organization?"

Zhang Wei thought for a moment and said, "Then why does he regard us as theirs?"

The two thought about it, and then each thought about the other's hat.

"Where did you get this hat?" Zhang Wei suddenly asked.

"It was given to us by a Chinese who listens to you...you mean?" Qingtong said hesitantly.

At the beginning, he and Baizan were going to escape, but the tops of their heads were not pointed, so they could be easily spotted.So an ear listener gave them two hats to cover their heads.

Earlings also like to wear hats, which save them a lot of trouble.

The two took off their hats and looked at them, both thinking that the hat represented some kind of identity.

Not long after, Zhang Wei discovered that hats all have one thing in common.

They all have a dark five-star logo, and they are so concealed that you can't see them if you don't look carefully.

At this time, Zhang Wei suddenly said: "You said this is the symbol of the Tiandihui?"

Qingtong shook her head and said, "I don't know. I've been trapped here for many years, but I rarely contact outsiders."

He and Baizan were imprisoned in the palace compound, and they had some impressions of the palace compound.

Zhang Wei suddenly said: "This is a bit interesting, but we have too little information."

At this time, Huang Dou suddenly said: "When I was running just now, I saw this sign in a place. I don't know if it is their stronghold."

Zhang Wei and Qing Tong looked at each other, and said, "Would you like to go and have a look?"

Qingtong shook her head and said, "If you want to go, then you can go. I'm going to the palace, I'm going to bomb this place."

Qingtong's purpose is still clear.

But at this time, a voice sounded from the side.

"Are you going to blow up the palace? It just so happens that we also have the same goal, so why don't we unite?"

While talking, three deaf people appeared in front of them, and the hats on their heads all had a faint five-star!
