Chapter 2148 Recipe
The imperial court searched, but did not find many gunpowder formulas. Most of the master craftsmen knew about it, and a group of court chiefs obviously did not expect this to happen. They were all a little dumbfounded. Guo Juxia sighed, "Who can Thinking of something that was useless before, but now it is so important! No one thought that the imperial court would have such a lack of understanding of gunpowder!"

The old eunuch also said from the side: "After all, it is a foreign object. Although it is powerful, it is troublesome to use. It was used as a novelty in the past. Naturally, it will not be studied like martial arts cheats."

"It seems that the only way to find it is from the people and the rivers and lakes!"

Guo Juxia nodded: "The folks will leave it to us! As for the Jianghu." Guo Juxia looked at Zeng Yi as he said. "Your Majesty used to be the leader of the martial arts alliance, so you might as well let Ni-sama, on behalf of His Majesty, search the rivers and lakes!"

The four of Zeng Yi returned to the blacksmith shop and discussed the issue of gunpowder formula. The third child took the lead and said, "The world doesn't seem to care much about this thing. It should be easy to get it, right?"

As soon as the voice of the third child finished speaking, the fourth child shook his head: "It's difficult because you don't care too much. Ordinary sects don't have gunpowder formulas at all, that is, sects that play with hidden weapons like our Tang sect. But we For a sect like the Tang Sect, gunpowder is our hidden weapon, so how could we easily hand over the formula to the imperial court?"

Zeng Yi was silent for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "Being deceived, you can't deal with the Tang Sect. Even if you have an insider like the fourth brother, it's impossible. You can only use your majesty's status as the leader of the martial arts. If the Tang Sect doesn't want to If you completely turn against the court, you will still get some, but not too many, and you still need to look for it from other places."

"Apart from sects like Tang Sect, which other sects should we look for?" the boss asked from the side.

After thinking for a while, the fourth child's eyes suddenly brightened, "Actually, we have overlooked a problem! Taoists should have gunpowder formula in their hands! This gunpowder was invented by them first!" In reality, gunpowder was invented by Huaxia. There are more than 1000 years.The study of gunpowder began with ancient alchemy.China was the first country to invent gunpowder. During the Sui Dynasty, the ternary system of gunpowder, saltpeter, sulfur and charcoal, was born.Black gunpowder officially appeared in the late Tang Dynasty.Gunpowder was invented by ancient alchemists. From the Warring States period to the early Han Dynasty, the emperors and nobles were intoxicated with the fantasy of immortality, driving some alchemists and Taoists to refine "elixir", and gradually invented the formula of gunpowder during the refining process.

"That's right! Forget about those alchemy guys!" Before leaving the capital, Zeng Yi directly contacted the old Taoist who worked for the old emperor to refine alchemy through Jin Yiwei's former pro-military captain's mansion. From the old Taoist place, he gained several points of difference. gunpowder recipe.

"Taoism is also a big force in Jianghu. Schools like Wudang Qingcheng mainly focus on Taoist martial arts, but there are still some Taoist priests who study Taoism and alchemy. I believe they should also have gunpowder formulas in their hands! "

Although Taoist alchemists have mastered certain chemical methods, their direction is to seek the medicine of immortality, so the invention of gunpowder has a certain chance.Alchemists often use burning methods to "volt" before using poisonous gold and stone medicines such as sulfur and arsenic. "Fu" means to subdue.To lose or reduce toxicity, this procedure is called "volt fire".Sun Simiao, a famous doctor and alchemist in the early Tang Dynasty, recorded in the "Sulphur Method in the Alchemy Classic": two liang each of sulfur and saltpeter, grind it into powder, and put it in a silver pot or sand jar.Dig a hole in the ground, put the pot in the hole at the same level as the ground, and fill it with soil on all sides.Light the three soaps that have not been eaten by moths one by one, then put them into the pot, and set the sulfur and saltpeter on fire.Wait until the fireworks can no longer be burned, and then use charcoal to fry until one-third of the charcoal disappears. This is actually a formula for gunpowder.

"By the way! I remembered. Do you still remember the time when the Six Great Factions besieged Guangmingding?" As soon as the fourth child said this, the three of them reacted instantly.

"You mean, at that time, Chen Kun wanted to use gunpowder to blow up Guangmingding?"

"Yes! If you want to blow up Guangmingding, you need a lot of gunpowder. Guangmingding is located in the Western Regions, and its location is extremely remote. It is impossible for Chen Kun to get so much gunpowder from other places. It is very likely that those gunpowder belonged to Mingjiao. So Mingjiao There should also be gunpowder formula!"

The four of them got together to study for a long time, and finally sorted out their thoughts. Through clues, they found many places where gunpowder might have arrived.

"Let's start with the easy and then the difficult. As a leader in the Jianghu, Wudang is not that hostile to the imperial court, and Wudang also supported the little princess back then. Take out the famous doctor of the little princess. A big name like Wudang should not embarrass us. Yes! Let’s go to Wudang first!”

After confirming the direction, the four of them set off on the same day and went to Wudang. This time, Zeng Yi was completely planning to suppress Wudang in the name of the imperial court. For the sake of momentum, Zeng Yi specially stayed with more than a dozen royal guards. Wearing a flying fish suit, he ran all the way to the foot of Wudang Mountain.

As soon as the crowd reached the gate of Wudang Mountain, Wudang head teacher Song Yuanqiao had already led the crowd to welcome them. Zeng Yi and the others didn't hide themselves at all, and went all the way to Wudang Mountain with great momentum. Naturally, the Wudang faction knew about them.

"I'll wait to see you, my lords!"

Zeng Yi hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Song Daxia has spoiled this junior! Don't be so polite!"

Wudang treated Zeng Yi and the others very courteously. Seeing Wudang's attitude, Zeng Yi knew that it was almost the same. When he followed Song Yuanqiao into Wudang, the two were very hypocritical and polite. Song Yuanqiao couldn't help it first: " My lords, hurry all the way, come to my Wudang, I wonder if there is something urgent?"

"Hero Song is being polite, but it's not a matter of urgency. This time I came to Wudang, there is a begging faction, and I'm here on behalf of His Majesty. Please forgive me for disturbing you!"

"Oh? Your Majesty has something to do! Then I, Wudang, will definitely go through fire and water!"

"Well, it's like this. As a big Taoist sect, your sect should have Taoist alchemists. We came here this time to ask for some gunpowder formulas from your sect!" Zeng Yi was also very polite.

"Gunpowder?" Hearing Zeng Yi's words, Song Yuanqiao was puzzled and was stunned.

"Yes, it's the gunpowder formula!"

Song Yuanqiao winked very much. Although he looked puzzled, he didn't ask anything, "My lord, I don't know much about gunpowder. Wait a moment, everyone. I'll ask, seniors in the school!"
