Chapter 401 Making a Mirror

Not only Matchmaker Cai but also Zeng Jing bought a cheap rocking chair.

Bai Lixiu didn't care about his business plummeting, after all, the 900 taels of silver in his hand was enough for him for a long time.

Although many carpenters and merchants imitated his rocking chairs, Bailixiu's rocking chairs are still 100 taels of silver each, and the price will not be reduced. It is entirely Jiang Taigong who is willing to fish.

What's more, Bailixiu's rocking chairs are made of upper materials, and the workmanship is extremely fine. With the blessing of super precision, all the rocking chairs carved by Bailixiu are tightly stitched. If you don't look carefully, you can't even see the traces of connection.

Therefore, Bailixiu's method of taking the boutique route can still attract those wealthy businessmen and dignitaries to buy.

This is like the luxury goods and works of art in the world before Bailixiu traveled through the world. Things made of the same material will cost tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands after passing through the hands of the artist, while in the hands of the workers, it will be an ordinary person. common decorations.

Time flies, and several months have passed in the blink of an eye. In the blink of an eye, Bai Lixiu has been in this sword rain world for half a year.

As for the Nine Suns Divine Art, Bai Lixiu has also cultivated it to the level of Dacheng, which is only one step away from congenitally perfecting the two veins of Ren and Du.

However, this one step away is the difference between heaven and earth, because after getting through Ren and Du's two veins, one will be a master of the innate level.

And a master at the innate level means that he can absorb the spiritual energy of the world and use it immediately. You must know that before the internal strength of a martial arts practitioner reaches the innate level, they basically practice refined energy, that is, give their own energy, energy, and blood to the body. It turns into an internal force that can be used to attack others.

It is also because of this that martial arts practitioners eat a lot, and Bailixiu is no exception. They eat a lot of meat and rice every day, and they also use some nourishing medicinal materials by the way.

Of course, this kind of consumption is also very huge. Even if it is only a month for Bailixiu, Bailixiu has consumed 50 taels of silver on the ingredients. You must know that this is the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, and one tael of silver can buy four to five hundred catties. Rice, the existence of people eating for a year.

It is precisely because of this that there has been a saying of poor culture and rich martial arts since ancient times, but fortunately, although Bailixiu's rocking chair business has been impacted by its peers, by virtue of taking the boutique route, Bailixiu can still make money in a month. Four or five Yaoyao chairs were sold.

Therefore, the monthly income of 500 taels is naturally enough for Bai Lixiu to practice martial arts.

After Bai Lixiu practiced the Nine Suns Divine Art, she practiced the Yiyang Finger again.

And the reason why Bai Lixiu chose to practice the Yiyang Finger is because it feels a bit like shooting a gun. Isn't the index finger of both hands the barrel of a gun?And the internal force is naturally the bullet.

Moreover, when Bai Lixiu was practicing the Yiyang Finger, he discovered that the Yiyang Finger also had the matching inner strength to run the mind, but after trying it, Bailixiu found that the inner strength of the Yiyang Finger was not as pure and concentrated as the Nine Yang Magic. In fact, if the internal force of the Nine Suns Divine Art is used to replace the internal force of the Yiyang Finger, its power can be more than doubled.

Of course, although Bai Lixiu has practiced Yiyang Finger, his main energy is still on how to make the Nine Suns Divine Art reach perfection from Dacheng to breakthrough innate, so that the martial arts he can display with the help of heaven and earth aura must be extraordinary, that is, Like Xingzi in Kung Fu, it is not difficult to smash a building with one palm.

However, in the next period of time, Bai Lixiu was a little bit unable to advance from a breakthrough to a consummate achievement. Originally, Bailixiu thought that it only took half a year for him to practice the Nine Suns Divine Art to great success. It must be a martial arts genius that does not belong to Zhang Wuji.

But after reaching Dacheng, no matter how much Bai Lixiu practiced, she didn't make any progress in i, which made Bai Lixiu feel irritable.

Of course, Bai Lixiu also thought about using Zhang Wuji's method to trap herself in a cloth bag to break through, but the cloth bag that trapped Zhang Wuji was not an ordinary cloth bag, but a special cloth bag that could not be cut by a knife or pierced by a gun. .

So Zhang Wuji's method could only be given up in the end, but fortunately, Bai Lixiu really thought of a good method after deliberation.

Because when she was practicing Jiuyang Divine Art before, she found that basking in the sun can speed up the practice of Jiuyang Divine Art, so Bai Lixiu naturally lay down on the recliner and basked in the sun to practice.

So if the intensity of the sunlight is increased, is it possible for it to break through, so after thinking of this, Bai Lixiu immediately went to the street to buy eight bronze mirrors with a height of half a person and came back.

Then it was placed in eight directions in her yard. After adjusting the angle, Bailixiu sat at the focus of the bronze mirror where the sunlight gathered and began to practice.

Not to mention, Bai Lixiu found that using this method can really speed up the operation speed of Jiuyang Shengong, at least it is much faster than usual sunbathing.

However, it is still difficult to break through such a distance. In Bailixiu's feeling, he still thinks that the sunlight gathered by the copper mirror is not enough, and compared with the glass mirror, the light reflectivity of the copper mirror is not very high, and a large part of the sunlight All wasted.

Therefore, if you want to get better sunlight gathering, you still have to use glass mirrors.

In fact, although it is in the early Ming Dynasty, that is, the fourteenth century AD, glass mirrors have already been popularized abroad at this time.

Of course, the mirrors of this period are not the kind of silver-plated glass mirrors, but glass mirrors with silver or iron sheets as the back.

Although this kind of mirror is not as reflective as the silver-plated glass mirrors that appeared in the [-]th century, it is still much higher than the polished copper mirrors.

In fact, I saw in Bailixiu that the East lagged behind the West because one produced glass and the other started to change.

We must know that glass can not only be used as a tool for holding food, but transparent glass is also a very good optical component. From magnifying glasses, to telescopes, to microscopes, glass is inseparable.

Without glass, microbiology and cytology would not be able to develop at all.

So Bai Lixiu felt that he made glass and glass mirrors not only for his own practice, but also might be able to drive Daming's technological development in a disguised form!
In fact, what Bailixiu didn't know was that just when he was about to get a mirror to break through his innate talent, the world map he made on the rocking chair finally entered the field of vision of Ming Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang.

The cause of the matter is also very simple, that is, Zhu Biao, the industrious Crown Prince of Ming Dynasty, was too diligent.

Therefore, it is not because of often sitting and correcting memorials, this does not cause backaches, so after half a year of fermentation of Bailixiu's rocking chair, the upper echelons of Ming Dynasty naturally know it, and naturally there are Zhu Biao's men I presented this rocking chair to Zhu Biao.
