Chapter 544 The 2 Saints of the West make another move, black gunpowder is hard to help Xiqi
Chapter 544
Xiqi.
Standing on the square in front of the palace, Xibo Hou Jichang looked at the golden light of merit and virtue in the sky, and when a gust of wind blew, all of them flocked towards Chaoge City, knowing that the golden light of merit and virtue belonged to King Zhou again.
Fortunately, I was self-aware this time, and didn't open my arms and wait eagerly for the golden light of merit to come.
It is the golden light of merit and virtue all over the sky, and I can see it even in Xiqi, so how many years has King Zhou's national fortune increased?
Before Ji Chang took out his tortoise shell for fortune-telling, a voice sounded beside him.
"The fortune of Yin and Shang countries has increased by another 50 years, making a total of 127 years of fortune."
Ji Chang turned around and saw Taoist Receptionist and Taoist Zhunti.
These two saints don't know what's going on, they walk together wherever they go, is it possible that someone will teach them when they are alone?
Thinking this way in Ji Chang's heart, he didn't worry about being prying into his mind by two saints. After all, he was also a prince of one side, and he was also protected by the power of humanity.
"My lord, please be respected by Ji Chang."
Hearing these words, seeing that Ji Chang really bowed to the two of them, leading Taoist and Zhunti Taoist, smiles appeared on their faces.
Sure enough, Ji Chang, who was destined to rebel, had already begun to directly disobey King Zhou's orders.
"Xi Bohou, please rise."
Zhunti Taoist personally reached out to help Ji Chang up, with an extremely enthusiastic attitude.
Although the two of them have become saints, their humanity is too strong, and it is getting stronger and stronger.If you want to develop the Western religion, it is impossible to leave the belief of the human race, and it is impossible not to accept the human race as a disciple.
What Wu Yan said in his capacity as a king had a great impact on the two of them, not only in the future, but also had a substantial impact now.
In this case, either destroy the human race and recreate humans, or destroy King Zhou and let the new human king believe in Western religion.
Obviously, they can only choose the latter option.
Although this was their plan, the situation is completely different. Before, they just wanted to play chess, but now they were beaten into pawns by Wu Yan's mouth for no reason, and they needed to participate more wholeheartedly.
It can even be said to be a blow to dimensionality reduction.
"Xiqi is in trouble, my brothers and sisters are here to help."
Taoist Zhunti didn't mention Wu Yan's king's order, neither did Xibo Hou Jichang, both sides expressed their attitudes, as if they had never heard Wu Yan's words.
"I also ask the two saints to point out a way out for me, Xiqi."
Ji Chang salutes again.
The result of his fortune-telling before is that he, Bo Yikao, and Ji Fa all have to die in this battle against Quanrong, but it doesn't necessarily mean that he died while fighting Quanrong, or it may be because he couldn't defeat Quanrong and was killed by Wu Yan. The identity of the king was executed.
Moreover, he couldn't figure out where his vitality was at all, and it turned out to be the result of ten deaths and no life.
Apart from the sage, he couldn't think of any way to save his family.
"There is a way of life."
While guiding the Taoist to speak, he stretched out his hand to Ji Chang's forehead, and a piece of knowledge was passed into Ji Chang's mind.
"This is……"
Ji Chang was stunned.
He is no stranger to this feeling. The two sages taught in the West taught him the technique of making copper coins in a similar way, including the technique of smelting copperware.
But this piece of knowledge made him feel unbelievable, and he didn't know why.
"It's gunpowder."
Jieyin Taoist said: "I discovered a special item when I was refining alchemy. If it is used properly, it should have infinite power."
"Gunpowder?" Ji Chang felt that the name was a bit strange, because the knowledge in his mind showed that this thing is definitely not a drug, but a powerful weapon capable of killing people.
"Yes, gunpowder." Zhunti Taoist added: "Using fire as medicine can govern the country and calm the world."
Ji Chang couldn't imagine how this thing could govern the country and pacify the world, because his imagination was limited. He only knew that according to the formula in his mind, he could create a magic weapon that could make manpower comparable to the mighty power of nature.
But what he needs most now is not this, so he asked aloud: "Two saints, I don't know if this gunpowder can give me the golden light of merit?"
"Of course." The Taoist Jieyin said with a vow: "This thing should have appeared after 2000. It has far-reaching influence and is the root cause of the real prosperity of the human race. If it was born from your hands, it will naturally receive a lot of merit and golden light." .”
At this time, it was still 1000 BC, and the invention of black powder was around 900 AD, so it is not too much to say that it was 2000 years ago.
It can even be said that Taoist Jieyin said less, because what he came up with was the most perfect black powder formula. As for why he didn't use yellow gunpowder, it was because Ji Chang couldn't make it even given the technology.And comparing the two, the biggest difference is not in power, but in stability.
Black powder is flammable and explosive, while yellow powder is relatively stable, and even an open flame cannot directly detonate it.
But for this era, yellow gunpowder is not much needed, let alone TNT, it really can’t be made, unless the sage himself takes action, or a group of immortals like Taoist Duobao next to Wu Yan. Same.
Theoretically speaking, the words of the saint must be unquestionable.
But when Ji Chang thought of the copper coins before, he still had some doubts.
Taoist Jieyin and Taoist Zhunti also felt this, thinking that the copper coins did not bring golden light of merit to Ji Chang, the two of them suddenly felt a little unconfident.
But when he thought about the impact of gunpowder on the human race, he felt that it was unlikely to make mistakes.
"Don't worry, Xibohou." Zhunti Taoist said: "You can manufacture gunpowder yourself. Don't worry about failure or danger. I will protect you. Wait until the gunpowder is successfully manufactured, and those weapons that use gunpowder are manufactured." If you succeed, you will surely win the battle against the dog army."
Taoist Jieyin also said: "Yes, at that time, even if we directly attack Chaoge City, there is a [-]% chance of winning."
Seeing the attitude of the two saints, Ji Chang's confidence was greatly increased, but he still asked curiously: "I don't know the [-]% chance of winning, why did you lose it?"
Because the Master Tongtian is too ruthless, too capable of fighting.
Taoist Jieyin and Taoist Zhunti did not answer, but smiled at the same time and disappeared in front of Ji Chang.
Ji Chang was stunned for a moment, then bowed to the air again, and hurriedly called his two most valued sons.
Boyi Kao and Ji Fa.
I also found related craftsmen, found a barren hill, and started making gunpowder.
"You two must remember this formula."
Ji Chang told his two sons the formula without hesitation. Although those craftsmen knew about it, they were all slaves of Xiqi, and life and death were under their control. They had no freedom at all, so Don't worry about leaks.
These craftsmen die, and new craftsmen will appear.
In a slavery country, even Xibo Hou Jichang, who loves the people like his son, doesn't really care much about human life.
This is a matter of perception.
Perhaps because of the protection of saints in secret, the manufacturing process of gunpowder was very smooth. Even though there were many irregularities in the operation, there was no explosion.
After the first batches of black powder were manufactured, weapons using black powder were also successfully manufactured.
With the ability of a sage, it is not difficult to calculate these things. For them, this is a trail in itself.
Even crooked ways are completely worthless.
Because of the copper smelting method, Xiqi's industrial capacity in this area has also improved a lot in the process of smelting copper coins.
Therefore, in just over a month, the world's first artillery was manufactured.
On the barren hill, shells were loaded into the cannon, and a slave held a torch and lit the fuse.
Boom.
When there was a loud noise like thunder, the hillside hundreds of meters away was directly blasted, and all the sparse trees on it were broken.
The power was so great that Ji Chang, father and son, as well as those craftsmen and slaves were all stunned.
"Immediately ordered to manufacture fifty artillery pieces and one thousand shells. Let's go fight Dog Rong."
Ji Chang's words made Ji Fa frown.
"Father, if we use artillery when we fight against the dog army, then Chaoge City will definitely ask us to donate the formula of gunpowder. At that time, how should we deal with ourselves?"
This is indeed a problem.
During the battle, there are too many people talking, and the appearance of the artillery cannot be completely kept secret.
Chaoge City must have many spies in Xiqi.
"Don't worry." Ji Chang was already prepared for this issue, and said, "I have already ordered some Qi trainers to be recruited. When the time comes, let them use these cannons. Ordinary soldiers are completely separated, so there is no need to worry about leaks."
It is not so easy to recruit Qi practitioners. Those who are capable are unwilling to participate in the mundane world, and they do not want to be contaminated with too much karma to delay their own practice.
Those who are incompetent, such as those Qi trainers who made and sold paper before, do not have the ability worthy of Xi Bohou's attention.
But it's different now, what Xi Bohou needs is their status as Qi practitioners, not their abilities.
"But..." Ji Fa asked again: "If those Qi practitioners have discovered the secrets of gunpowder and artillery, at that time, if they switch to Chaoge, or use this secret to find other princes, I will not be able to stop them. .”
Compared to Bo Yi Kao who didn't say a word, although Ji Fa was younger, he thought about problems more comprehensively.
Ji Chang also noticed this, and after pondering for a while, he said, "Don't worry, I have my own opinion."
This is to entrust the task of secrecy to the two saints.
In Ji Chang's view, if those Qi practitioners really want to betray Xiqi, the saints will naturally solve the problem directly.
Thinking about it this way, he felt that the two saints behind him were a little out of sorts.
In contrast, the sage behind Wu Yan, Master Tongtian, sent all the immortals of Jiejiao to Chaoge City to help Yin Shang blatantly.
But the saint behind him has to cover up.
But this is something that can’t be helped. After all, I am not a human king, but a Xibohou. When I become a human king, the Western religion will definitely be able to regain the belief of the human race and recruit a large number of disciples to help me.
When thinking of these, Ji Chang suddenly thought of another question.
"Eh? Where is my golden merit?"
Looking up at the sky, no golden light appeared.
Should not be ah.
Ji Chang frowned and said, "Fire one more shot, no, ten more."
A total of dozens of shells were made, and under Ji Chang's order, ten shells were spent, and the hillside hundreds of meters away was almost flattened.
But there was still no golden light in the sky.
The saint tricked me again?
When Ji Chang had doubts in his heart, the two Taoist guides and Zhunti Taoists also had doubts in his heart.
Heaven tricked me again?
Yes, the two saints of the Western religion felt that it was the Dao of Heaven who deceived them, because no one in this world could deceive them except the Dao of Heaven.
Just because you can beat them doesn't mean you can lie to them.
Innate sages like Master Tongtian, Taoist Guidance and Taoist Zhunti even felt that they could deceive each other.
"It shouldn't be, it shouldn't be."
"Where is the golden light of merit? Where is Ji Chang's golden light of merit?"
Daoist Jieyin and Taoist Zhunti really couldn’t figure out where the problem lies. In their deduction, the impact of gunpowder on the human race can be described as earth-shaking. What kind of hearse was made by Gecheng and Daoist Duobao.
Because gunpowder can give the human race the power to fight against demons and ghosts in a real sense, and even the power to fight against ordinary gods and gods.
It can even change the form of war and realize the unification of the human race in the true sense.
In contrast, Taoist Jieyin and Taoist Zhunti feel that the so-called hearse is just a toy for children, and the gunpowder they let Ji Chang invent is something that adults need to be cautious about.
How could there be no golden light of merit?
This is a powerful weapon that took 2000 years for the human race to invent, and it has influenced the trend of history for more than 1000 years.
Tiandao fell asleep?
Taoist Jieyin and Taoist Zhunti looked up at the sky at the same time, and found that Tiandao was not asleep, and his eyes were still on them.
If they were going to kill King Zhou directly, the backlash of heaven and the power of boundless karma would act on them.
"Is it really because Ji Chang is just a Marquis of Xibo, not a human king? This shouldn't be the case. Only human kings should be able to obtain the golden light of merit."
Everyone can gain merit, and the size varies from person to person.
Helping others is also a merit, but there will be no phenomena of heaven and earth like the golden light of merit, and stopping killing by killing is also a merit.
Like cause and effect, when the influence is less than a certain level, it cannot be seen or touched at all.
But relying on the influence of gunpowder, Xibo Hou Jichang will definitely be able to obtain the merit of having a golden light all over the sky.
However, now, not only is there no vision of heaven and earth, but with the eyesight of Taoists Guiding and Zhunti, it can even be seen that Xibo Hou Jichang has not gained any merit.
Just like the appearance of gunpowder, it has no meaning to this world.
How can this be?
