Bad people in Qin Dynasty

Chapter 361 Mohist speculation
"Can you smash this ring sign flat?"

Situ Wanli still didn't want the ring, it was too unlucky.

"This is really hard to do. There are a lot of special materials incorporated into this Gambling Sword, including a piece of cold iron. That thing has special properties. In addition, I have integrated the power of the Winter Destruction Formation, making it contain a variety of materials. Material power merged into one.

Relying on the power of cold air to further increase the strength of the material, it is not much worse than my Shennong Ruler in strength. It is very difficult to beat without burning it red, and heating will destroy the inner strength structure..."

Tian Hao explained very seriously, but looking at Situ Wanli's increasingly resentful eyes, he could only use another method of deception.

"The purpose of using the word quit gambling is actually to let me gather my gambling luck and focus on gambling at critical moments. Maybe I can increase my chances.

When you're at my brother's level, what's the point of ordinary small bets? If you want to bet, just play big ones. "

Situ Wanli's complexion actually improved after being fooled like this, at least he was able to accept it.

"I asked you, why did you beat the copper ball after making the sword these days? It turned out to be to make such a weapon."

Gushen and the others, who had recovered from breath control, came over and looked at the gambling knife.

They all saw the power of that sword. In terms of power alone, it was stronger than the Tiger Soul Sword, even if the Ganjiang Sword back then was inferior to it.

Not to mention the compatibility with the power of the Dize Formation. Once it was in the hands of their farmers, they would not change it even if they sent Tian Wen, who ranked first in the sword manual.

"I don't yet have the ability to forge a top-notch sword without relying on the power of the terrain, so I can only use this trick."

Tian Hao said helplessly, saying that he could only use tricks.

This knife was not easy to forge. Because of the cold air of cold iron, he could not use the method of melting and casting. He could only forcibly temper it, beating several materials repeatedly to achieve a perfect fusion.

It took three days of hard hammering and at least [-] to [-] turns of the Shennong Ruler before the materials were perfectly integrated. It was very tiring.

"You're tired. Go back and rest after dinner."

Yutu smiled and signaled to go back and sleep with his wife in his arms.

Don't talk about that kid today. They have been maintaining and mobilizing the power of the formation, and they are very tired.

"Resign to the countryside!"

After bowing, Tian Hao turned around and returned to Lieshan Hall, accompanied by Tian Hu and others.

"It's time to start."

After Tian Hao left, the oldest Gu Shen spoke.

They have discussed the plan many times and have thought of everything they can think of. The next step is to officially start.

Everyone nodded, and immediately wrote an invitation letter as a whole peasant family, inviting all the disciples and all the countries in the world, including Qin, to bring materials to Daze Mountain to make swords.

Although the major forces doubted the farmer's ability, they also sent people to confirm.

In fact, it is not uncommon to find special ores that can be used to forge famous swords these days, especially those forces that have been passed down for hundreds or even hundreds of years and have accumulated a lot of ores.

But ores are ores, and they are completely different concepts from famous swords.

Only a true swordsmith can inspire the characteristics of those special ores and cultivate the spirituality to form a famous sword, otherwise it will only become a sword at most.

Although there is only one word difference between a precious sword and a famous sword, the power and meaning within them are worlds apart.

It's just that there are always horses that can cover a thousand miles, but not Bole. The swordsmith is the Bole of special ores.

There are too few swordsmiths in the world, especially the top swordsmiths. The entire Great Zhou Dynasty has a history of 800 years, but there are no more than 30 swordsmiths, and most of them have forged a top-notch sword in a lifetime. sword.

Therefore, even if many forces obtain high-grade materials, they rarely use them directly for forging. Unless they can meet a top sword-smithing master, they are just squandering natural resources, and they might as well keep them sealed.

Just like the farmhouse, there are so many special ores sealed up.

Therefore, now that the farmer has issued an invitation, all major forces are very interested, especially those who have obtained and confirmed the inside information, and have already set off with the ore.

Within a month, people from all over the world gathered in Daze Mountain, and saw with their own eyes the way someone and a farmer made swords, especially the casting of the perfect Great Summer Sword and the various Small Summer Swords, Summer Solstice Swords, and the Farmer's display. After being shocked, the Mang Zhongjian expressed their belief, and then returned to inform their families to quickly bring all the ores.

No matter how much attention the farmer pays, this is a big opportunity for them, especially in this period when the world is in turmoil and big changes are about to happen. They need to strengthen their own strength to protect themselves. The farmer is just dozing off and sending pillows. ah.

Even if you can't forge a top-notch famous sword, you can still accept a top-grade famous sword. It's better than continuing to store it and eat dust.

Among them, there are several forces that attach the most importance to this incident of the Nong family. One is the Xu family of the Moh family.

“Can we imitate farmers’ methods?”

After seeing the casting process at the farmhouse, Cuiyu, who led the team, asked Xu Zhu, the current head of the Xu family.

"The key to their sword-making lies in the formation of the land and those special terrains, but I can't figure out how they integrated this power into the sword."

Xu Zhu's frown has never calmed down. He has been thinking hard these past few days, but he just can't figure it out.

"If Senior Mrs. Xu and Master Xu were still here, they would definitely be able to figure out the secret."

Cuiyu couldn't help but think of Mrs. Xu, Master Xu and others who had been missing for many years. If those two were here, they would definitely not be so passive.

You must know that those two are master swordsmiths who have forged top-notch swords and can be recorded in history.

"The disappearance of the previous head of the family and Juzi must be related to Luo Sheng, especially Zhanri and Huang Tianhou."

Xu Zhu was filled with hatred when he talked about this, and he hated Qin even more.

"Maybe it's not as bad as you think."

On the contrary, the cuttlefish seemed calmer and did not get angry about it.

"What do you know?"

Xu Zhu stared at the cuttlefish closely. Is there any news?

"I have investigated the tribesmen who were taken away by Mo Ban and Master Xu. They are all relatively pure people and have never participated in anything related to Zhao and Yan.

I suspect that Juzi may be dissatisfied with our actions and wants to separate from the lineage to maintain the purity of Mohism. "

Telling his own guess, Cuttlefish had already sensed something was wrong.

At that time, Master Xu of Moban and those tribesmen left on their own initiative, and the reasons given were very casual. They didn't think much about it at the time, and then those people never came back.

"Any clues?"

Xu Zhu thought about it for a while and felt that it was very possible. They knew Juzi's style and philosophy, and they had been working hard to resolve the conflicts between the Yan and Zhao factions in the Mo family. It was understandable that they would be upset and disappointed.

In that case, it is not difficult to understand that they want to separate a line to preserve the Mohist family, but now they have to find Juzi and that lineage, because the current Mohist family and Guancheng need that part of the power, especially the existence of Juzi.

"There are no clues, but I suspect that the group of people who appeared in Longxi of the Qin State can cast and know the art of mechanism. The time coincides with it. I don't think this is a coincidence."

Cuiyu is targeting the group of people from the Huang Tianhou faction of Qin State, which is at least doubtful.

"Impossible, the steel-making method and the current copper-making method are two completely different systems, let alone refining in batches like the Qin State.

It is impossible to develop that kind of complete system from scratch in a short period of time. You are not in our industry and do not understand the difficulty.

That's not a machine skill. As long as you know the theory, you can improve quickly. It needs to be accumulated bit by bit. "

Xu Zhu decisively rejected it. That was absolutely impossible and went against common sense.

Their sword-making skills have developed for thousands of years before reaching the current level. It is already at its peak. How many years has it been since the emergence of steel?

How could it be possible to surpass copper smelting in a short period of time?

You must know that these two systems are based on copper and iron. The properties of the two metals are very different. There are few things that can be learned from each other. If you want to develop the steelmaking method, you have to start from scratch.

Even if Master Ou Yezi was resurrected, he would not have the ability to develop the steelmaking method to that extent in just a few years, let alone let the previous generation of family heads lead the development.

He actually thought that Huang Tianhou and the net behind him had been planning for a long time, and they did not suddenly explode until the accumulation reached a certain level.

That is not the accumulation of decades, at least it can be measured in units of hundreds of years.

"And according to the information we have received, Huang Tianhou's casting method mainly originated from Baiyue, and Baiyue's casting heritage originated from the Yue Kingdom and is the inheritance there.

The mechanism technique may have been secretly learned from our Mo family and Gongshu family, but its real development came from the capture of the creations of our two institutions on the battlefield.

In addition, their development direction is not similar to ours. They prefer batch casting and the casting of giant creations, which is different from us.

Moreover, Juzi and others have always been hostile to Qin. Even if they are not as determined as we are, they still cannot run to Qin and help Qin develop. "

He did not believe that the foundry system and the mechanical art system of Huang Tianhou of Qin State were secretly worked out by his own family head and the Mohist family head, and there was evidence from all aspects to prove it.

"I'm just doubting, and apart from the sudden rise of the casting system and the mechanical art system in the Qin State, there is nothing else." Cuiyu was not sure about it. Before, it was only a little doubtful. After all, the development process there was very complicated. There are traces to follow.

For example, the Black Dragon Mechanism Armor that first appeared seemed very rough at the time. It couldn't even be said to be a Mechanism creation. It was just a set of heavy steel armor, which could only rely on the strength of the material itself to form a protective effect.

Although the other party had captured their mechanism Suzaku at that time, they were definitely researching it and had not yet taken shape.

The kind of machine bear that was cast later should be the first set of finished products. Even so, the exquisiteness inside is far less than their machine white tiger, and it is even worse in terms of flexibility.

If it weren't for the amazing strength of its steel body, it would definitely not be a match for the White Tiger.

However, the mechanism Xingtian used by the other party was beyond their expectations. Its flexibility was amazing, even surpassing their mechanism White Tiger. It obviously couldn't be their system.

So although I have doubts, I also understand that it is unlikely.

It's just that in the past few years, there has been a sudden rise in the machine arts and casting systems in the world, and nothing has happened since.

"If Junzi and the others choose to separate from the lineage to maintain the final purity of the Mohist family, they will definitely not emerge, but will have to hide and develop silently.

Those people are just mechanics and foundry craftsmen. Their strength is very average and they cannot withstand the wind and waves. "

Xu Zhu thought about it for a moment and felt that those people should be hiding somewhere and developing silently. It is almost impossible to find them. Even if Guancheng and the Mo family are destroyed one day, there is a high probability that they will not come out.

Because that is the escape route that Jizi and the others have prepared for the Mo family, and they will never allow them to get involved.

"But one thing is a problem."

Suddenly, another thing came to mind, and Xu Zhu couldn't figure it out.

"Are you talking about the Thunder Breathing Technique from Huang Tianhou of Qin?"

Cuttlefish guessed what his old friend was talking about, and he had also been puzzled by it.

"Where did Huang Tianhou get our Mohist's Thunder Breathing Technique?
He also developed a mechanism that can generate electricity, which is really weird. "

Xu Zhu had never thought about this, it was really weird.

"Last year our people obtained a piece of information from the Qin State. The thunder and lightning martial arts used by Queen Qin's Forbidden Army had new changes. It seemed to be a new thunder and lightning fused with the energy of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements. It has a variety of effects, and even There are also matching sword techniques, sword formations, body techniques, etc., which are very complete.”

Telling the information he got last year, Cuiyu couldn't help but feel a little desperate.

The opponent is really too strong, not on the same level at all.

"So that means their technique is better and more complete, far surpassing our Thunder Breathing Technique?"

Xu Zhu was stunned for a moment and then became gloomy.

Why is Qin so powerful?
Does heaven want to destroy Yanzhao and their Mohist family?

"That kind of complete system cannot be developed in a short time. It must have been secretly prepared for a long time, which does not match the time when Yukiko and the others disappeared."

Nodding, Moyu didn't know where his Juzi had gone now. He used to think that Juzi was a nuisance, but now that so many things have happened and the Mo family suffered heavy losses, he couldn't help but miss the goodness of that Juzi.

They can't support the Mo family, so they have to let Juzi come.

"Cultivation of Prince Dan."

With a sigh, Xu Zhu could only place his hope on Prince Yan Dan.

"You mean to make Prince Dan the new Motsuko?"

Cuttlefish shuddered, shocked by what his old friend was thinking.

It's crazy to let the prince of a country become the great son of the Mohist family.

In the past, they just wanted Prince Dan to become a disciple of Juzi, so as to have a closer connection with the Yan Kingdom.

But if Prince Dan becomes the new Juzi, the nature of the matter will change. The Mo family has never had such a precedent. He can't imagine what the future will be like now. It is difficult to predict whether it will be good or bad.

"Otherwise? How can Jing Ke, with his carefree appearance, become the leader of the Mo family today?"

He asked back, Xu Zhu didn't think much of Jing Ke. Although he had outstanding martial arts talent and was a prodigy in sword practice, he was far behind in other aspects.

Not to mention his intelligence and talent, his careless temperament alone made him feel unreliable. They needed a calm temperament to lead the Mo family to a new future.

He had met and communicated with Prince Dan before. He felt that he was much better than Jing Ke and was the most suitable candidate for Juzi.

"We need to observe and test Prince Dan."

After being silent for a while, Cuiyu did not refuse, but needed to conduct more detailed observations and tests on Prince Yan Dan.

This is related to the future of the Mo family and must be treated with caution.

"How should we deal with this sword-forging incident at the farmer's house?"

The topic then shifted to the farmer's sword-making invitation. Do you want to bring the ore to participate?
"Do you think we can reach the level of others in the future?"

Xu Zhu said angrily.

Although he didn't want to admit it, the sword-making skills of the Xu family of the Mo family had been surpassed by the peasant family and left far behind.

People here can mass-cast top-notch famous swords, but I can only make low-grade famous swords, and I have to have enough good materials.

It is very difficult for him to reach the level of the previous family head, let alone compare with other farmers.

"Not at all?"

Cuiyu thought it would be better to keep some of it, what if there was another sword-smithing master on their side in the future?

"Do you know how long Master Xu prepared to cast the Water Cold Sword?"

Xu Zhu asked back.

"It seems like a long time."

Cuttlefish couldn't remember much about it, but it must have been a long time.

Looking at Cuttlefish's confused look, Xu Zhujie said: "You are not in our line of work, and you don't understand some things even if I tell you. Let me tell you this, although there have been dozens of castings in the world over the past hundreds of years, Sword masters, but most of them can only forge one top-notch sword in their lifetime.

Master Xu is that kind of person, and his parents are also that kind of person. There can be no more.

Even so, Mrs. Xu used the particularity of the material to cast the broken rainbow, and suffered backlash because of it. The casting of shark teeth was equally dangerous.

They take shortcuts that cost them dearly, some even costing their lives.

In comparison, the casting of Master Xu's Water Cold Sword was already done well. Even so, it was thanks to Mrs. Xu's guidance. Otherwise, if he had been allowed to cast it alone, it would have been delayed for at least 20 years.

It is unlikely that there will be another swordsmith master in our lineage in a short time. Now that we have this opportunity, we must seize it and improve our strength as much as possible. "

After saying this, Cuiyu understood, he smacked his lips and said: "It seems that we can only let the farmers cast it, but they will definitely intercept our materials during the casting process, which is unpleasant to think about."

Farmers don't make swords for free, they have to pay for it, and it's not cheap.

In addition, the other party has to withhold the materials. I always feel like I am being ripped off after paying the money, which is very unpleasant.

"You can refuse."

Looking sideways, Xu Zhu was convinced by the farmer's sword-making skills and his open spirit.

After all, those famous swords are there, and it’s hard not to be convinced.

It is their ability to intercept materials, and this is a voluntary transaction in itself, as long as the famous sword they forge can satisfy them.

"But you have to be careful. Let them cast one first and see how good it is."

There is still caution in his heart. Naturally, Xu Zhu will not completely trust the farmer, and he is right in this regard.

As there were many discussions on the Mo family's side, although they could all guess what the farmer's idea was, they couldn't decipher it.

After all, the farmer just sent out an invitation, not begging them to make swords. If you don't want to, you can leave.

But can they really leave?
Before the change, I might have been unhappy and left, but now the world is changing rapidly, undercurrents are surging, and a big change is not far away.

That was also the most chaotic and dangerous time. The country would be destroyed, let alone all the schools of thought like them.

In this case, strengthening one's own strength is the most reliable way to deal with it. No matter what kind of changes or disasters come, as long as their strength is strong enough, they will have a better chance of surviving it.

In addition to self-cultivation, the improvement of strength is an external force, and the famous sword is the best external force.
