The new era of chaos begins in the Song Dynasty

Chapter 296 The two dogs enter the secret realm for the first time

Psionics are really a very useful ability. If you can master the subtleties of your psionic powers, you can often even use your psionic powers instead of your sense of smell to track down other psykers like a hound.

Ergou is using his spiritual energy to trace the whereabouts of Zen Master Dahui.

Zen Master Dahui is a born psychic, but in the areas he passes through, he will leave some traces of his psychic energy with his distinctive aura.

This unique psychic trace is very obscure, and will slowly dissipate over time, eventually becoming dim to the point where Ergou cannot observe it.

This dissipation time is usually three to ten days, or even a month.

Of course, this difference in time span is due to the degree of control and convergence of the owner of the psychic traces over his own psychic powers.

For example, many times Ergou will deliberately restrain his psychic energy fluctuations to make them as obscure as possible and not be detected by others. In this way, the traces of psychic energy left behind in the places he passes by will not even last a day to dissipate. It dissipated in about four or five hours and was almost unnoticeable.

If those psykers do not master the fine control of psychic energy and have a high degree of psychic dissipation, the traces of their psychic energy will be vaguely detectable for three to five days or even ten days.

Of course, this is only a judgment based on Ergou's own observation level. There may be people in the world whose psychic observation level is even more subtle than Ergou's. It is the traces of psychic energy that Ergou thought he could no longer see, but he was able to detect them. out.

However, Zen Master Dahui, who had suffered some losses at the hands of Ergou before, was not good at hiding traces of psychic energy. In order to rush to the secret place of Tianmu Mountain early, he even deliberately encouraged his spiritual energy to speed up for himself, which made what he left behind The traces of psychic energy have become more distinct, and it is estimated that they should last for a longer period of observability by (Ergou).

And Ergou didn't even wait for a day. He only settled Yang Wen and others in Panlong Temple, and then went out to trace the traces of Zen Master Dahui. In this way, he could easily follow the traces of spiritual energy to track him. whereabouts.

After climbing over several mountains and passing through a woodland, Ergou found the temple that preserved the mural of "Dream of Meiling".

This is a very small temple, with only one main hall, a small courtyard, and a stone wall screen. The painting on the stone wall screen is the "Dream of Plum Ridge".

The small temple is very clean, as if someone has been maintaining it, but there is not a soul in the temple.

Only the traces of spiritual energy from Zen Master Shen Yigong were abruptly interrupted directly in front of the mural. It felt as if he had disappeared into the painting, which of course was indeed the case.

At first, Ergou thought the mural was the entrance to a secret room. However, after repeated inspections and confirmations, he finally concluded that it was indeed an ordinary stone wall screen, but the paintings on the stone wall were a bit weird.

Ergou really couldn't handle this situation by himself, so he had to seek help off-site.

So Ergou directly opened the psychic channel and shouted somewhere: "Sandoku! Come out to work!"

Not long after, a very reluctant voice came from the void: "My master! You have disturbed the great Lord Panxi's great time of passing on the family line! Being so heartless has really made the Sa family miserable. !”

Then he saw an extraordinary horse emerging from the void.

This is a super steed with a shoulder height of nearly nine feet. It has a graceful body, slender limbs, and flowing mane. On the outside of the limbs, there is a small, palm-sized wing ornament naturally formed by unique manes.

Of course, if there is one shortcoming of this divine horse, it is that it has a donkey-like head and big ears, which do not seem to match its unique figure at all.

It's like a woman with the body of a Victoria's Secret supermodel but a face like a flower.

And this is exactly what Ergou's first-generation mount, Santoku Donkey, will look like after it is fully developed.

I have to say, having a cock is indeed something that people both love and hate.

Today, Sande is already a six-year-old divine horse, especially since it itself is an evil beast, and its leg strength is no less than that of the legendary mythical mount.

On the plains it can run at a speed of 150 kilometers per hour for a whole day, then rest for a night and continue running the next day. And it doesn't care about the terrain. Whether it's walking through mountains or climbing across water, it can still run at 80% high speed.

The most important thing is that Sande also has a psychic talent, which can use subspace channels to make short point-to-point space jumps.

The most troublesome thing about Sandoku is its extraordinary reproductive instinct.

Over the years, Ergou has collected hundreds of good mares from all over the world, including top-notch BMW horses. For example, the trophies he brought back from the capital that were contributed by the monks, some of which can only be regarded as of good quality. Generally strong mare.

These horses are the "harem horses" specially prepared by Ergou for Sandezi. It only takes five or six days for Sande, who has extremely powerful reproductive ability, to get all of these hundreds of "wives and concubines" pregnant.

Here I have to mention the Naha ability of the 郃騠. Unlike ordinary donkeys and horses, the Naha ability of the 郃郠 is similar to that of a lion. The single time is very short, but the times are extremely frequent. Therefore, even the "harem Jiali" "A lot, and it can get them all covered in just a few days.

In the past five years, the first mares collected by Ergou have given birth four times in a row, such as the most beloved Jingshi "Meijun". However, frequent births have also made their physiques worse. Suffering from overdraft, the strength of his legs has been greatly reduced.

However, the newly born calves all showed stronger qualifications than the original mares, and at the very least they were of the quality of a thousand-mile horse. Among them, the best batch of the sons of Panxi, after they grew up, their leg strength was not even inferior to that of Panxi Sande. , and is quite understanding of human nature, but it does not have the natural psychic ability of San Dezi, and its reproductive ability is also slightly poor, almost the same as a normal horse.

Now Ergou has assembled a super war horse army in Xiangzhou consisting of 3,000 sons of horses. As long as it is matched with suitable knights and equipment, this super war horse army can transform into an invincible super cavalry battle group, which is more powerful than the light ones. The superior mobility of the cavalry, the stronger defense and impact than the armored cavalry, and the unparalleled tacit understanding between man and horse are enough to make this cavalry regiment being formed an invincible cavalry in the world.

At that time, whether it is the so-called "Jurchens are not worth ten thousand, and they are unstoppable", the golden soldiers and horses, or the Mongolian Mangu evil cavalry sweeping across Europe and Asia, I am afraid they will be nothing in front of this fearful son of Panyu.

Of course, if you want to combine the Sons of Panyu into a complete combat force, the time, manpower, and material resources required are by no means ordinary.

Even with the resources amassed by Ergou's salt essence and many industries, only a few hundred qualified knights have been produced in the past five years.

First of all, a person who is proficient in cavalry tactics must ensure that his personal force is outstanding on the premise of being loyal and reliable. It is not easy for Ergou to gather more than a hundred people in Xiangzhou in five years.

Another one is the equipment for the men and horses. Ergou's original plan to use iron armor was already too much. After all, with the power of the entire country in the Song Dynasty, 50,000 pieces of iron armor were built over the past hundred years. Of course, the maintenance consumption was also huge.

Moreover, the government has explicitly ordered that anyone who secretly hides iron armor among the people will be punished; anyone who secretly hides iron armor for three or more people will be punished for treason and punished by the clan.

Therefore, it is extremely difficult for Ergou to find enough craftsmen among the people to make iron armor.

It wasn't until Ergou went to the subspace to conquer the ruins of civilization's creations that he discovered the properties of plastic steel (ceramic steel). He immediately decided to make a batch of plastic steel armor and horse equipment by hand, thinking that his invincible cavalry would be even better. Plastic steel has better defense than steel, but is lighter in weight. If it were to be assembled for the son of Panxi, it would be like a heifer and its mother practicing handstands.

Of course, the above can be regarded as the advantages brought by the reproductive ability of the three virtues.

The disadvantage of Sandoku is that it is really a walking seeder. It is either sowing seeds or walking on the sowing path every day.

As long as it is a four-legged animal of suitable size, whether it is an ox, horse, donkey, deer, antelope, musk deer, rhinoceros, etc., it is within its breeding range, so that its job of serving as a riding mount for the two dogs has long been delayed by it. .

However, sometimes Sandoku is more reliable. It has the memory and wisdom from heavenly beings (spiritual people). When Ergou needs some unique technical support, it is a better idea to summon Sandoku. Not a bad choice.

Just like this moment.

Ergou said to San Dezi who had just appeared: "San'er! Give your wives and concubines some maternity leave. They are also living beings, not rigid birth machines! You will stay with me during this period of time. , after a while I will breed some nice new mares to reward you!"

San Dezi purred his donkey's mouth, raised a hoof and said something like that: "The Sa family wants at least a hundred beautiful Semitic horses with long legs and thin waists from the deserts of the Western Regions!"

The two dogs felt a little sad when they heard it, but what this guy was talking about was the Arabian horses of later generations, now called Semitic horses.

A year ago, a businessman from the Western Regions came to Hebei with a gelded Semitic horse. San Dezi was almost drunk when he saw the appearance of the horse. Unfortunately, the male gelding could not make San Dezi do anything. , so it has been clamoring to go to the deserts of the Western Regions to find real Semitic beauties.

However, without Ergou's company, San Dezi really didn't dare to go to that strange and dangerous place by himself.

Semitic horses are an extremely precious horse breed even in the Semitic areas of the Western Regions. If Ergou only wants to get three or five of them, it won't take much effort whether he buys them, steals them, or robs them.

But a hundred healthy Semitic mares of the same age would be more troublesome. Unless it was a war, it would be difficult for one person to gather so many.

Of course, Santoku doesn't have to be a Semitic mare, it's just a unit of measurement.

According to an unknown agreement between Ergou and Santoku, a beautiful Semitic colt is equivalent to five ordinary strong mares, or a top-notch horse of the same level as [Toshiyue].

This also means that soon Ergou will need to find at least 500 more good mares for San Dezi to fill the palace.

Of course, Ergou would not refuse this, because the more mares there are, the more sons will be produced in the future. Even if there is a chance, Ergou would not mind letting Sandezi take over the entire Song Dynasty. The bloodlines of the horses will be improved.

After Ergou and San Dezi agreed on the reward, he asked San Dezi about the problem of Shen Yigong's psychic traces disappearing in front of the mural.

Having said this, I have to add another point: Ergou's ability to use psychic energy to track psychic traces of psychics was also a skill taught to him by San Dezi. Of course, as a reward for teaching this skill, he was originally Teru Xuema, whom Ergou gave as a gift to his sister-in-law, turned out to be Sandokuko's favorite concubine in the harem.

San Dezi stared at the mural with wide eyes, but exclaimed in surprise: "This... this is a specially modified Webway portal! Who has such skill and ability to actually depict this portal into In the painting?”

Ergou also looked at the strange mural. It seemed that every time he blinked, the mural changed slightly.

He said: "This mural is indeed a bit strange. I wonder if it has anything to do with the disappearance of Monk Mahamati?"

San Dezi was a little disdainful of Ergou's ignorance, but said proudly: "This is not a mural, but a webway directional coordinate map drawn by the most outstanding caster under the Phoenix Throne. As long as she opens it, she will Specific areas marked on this map can be reached.”

Ergou laughed and said, "Isn't this still a painting?!"

San Dezi said angrily: "This is a map! The directional coordinate map of the Web Channel!"

"Okay! Okay! You said it's a map, so it's the Laoshizi coordinate map! The key is, can you activate it?" Ergou asked with a smile.

San Dezi shouted angrily: "My master, you are scorning a great heavenly scholar! Although the Sa family cannot build this kind of directional coordinate map, there is still no problem in activating her!"

Ergou waved one hand and made a "please start your performance" gesture.

Sandoku's donkey brayed twice, then rubbed its head against the stone wall a few times. Then it read out a series of unique secret words. Soon the pictures on the stone wall started to react, but no so-called passage appeared. , but revealed a complex and gorgeous unique seal pattern.

When San Dezi saw it, he couldn't help being shocked and said: "Straight mother-in-law! This family is actually a loser! My master, why did you offend them?!"

Ergou smiled lightly and said, "Why, are you afraid?"

San Dezi shouted with some lack of confidence: "Now the Sa family is just a donkey, how can it be afraid of a group of monkeys! Just wait and see, wait until the Sa family opens this passage!"

Then Santoku read out a longer secret message that sounded very elegant. He repeated it a full ten times, and then the stone wall turned into a unique light curtain, glowing with some spirituality unique to subspace. Can breathe.

Of course Ergou also "saw" traces of spiritual energy belonging to Zen Master Dahui in it.

San Dezi said with some disgust: "The Sa family is the most irritable and uses disgusting and disgusting hymns to praise other gods, not to mention having to repeat it ten times. It feels like eating shit!"

Ergou asked: "What should we do next? Get in?"

San Dezi said: "Of course! Otherwise, why would Sajia open it? Be sharper, my master! This thing won't last long! I don't want to feel like eating shit ten times again!"

Ergou nodded and said: "Okay! You go with me! Otherwise, I worry about whether I can come back!"

Santoku said reluctantly: "It's up to you, my master! But with your protection, I won't be troubled by that family!"
