Liu Shaoyang was very happy to see that Fang Tianlu's heart disease was gone. If you look at the rest of the places, most of them are all kinds of bows and crossbow weapons stored. There are also unfilled gunpowder "earth-shaking thunder", "thunderbolt bombs" and other things, and there are many ordinary copper fire guns, iron fire guns, etc. These instruments for future incidents were much more than they had been when he had been here a year earlier.

Just as he was dazzled, Liu Shaoyang suddenly saw two sets of large black iron boxes piled up in the corner of the main hall. He stepped forward and wanted to open it, but Fang Tianlu hurriedly took a few steps to catch up and stopped: "In these big iron boxes, all of them are gunpowder made by craftsmen with the proportion of your master's improved formula. You put out the air lamp in your hand and then go over, these boxes of gunpowder are powerful enough to blow this place up several times!"

Liu Shaoyang was slightly surprised, hurriedly extinguished the air lamp in his hand, and said strangely: "I remember that a few years ago, the gunpowder in the warehouse was placed in wooden boxes, why did you change to iron boxes now?"

Fang Tianlu said: "I specially ordered the use of iron boxes, the wooden box stores gunpowder and is placed in the underground dark room, which is easy to get damp, and it is even worse to catch fire." And it is gnawed by insects and mice, and it is not easy to preserve. It would be much better to switch to an iron box and put cotton paper on it. ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the iron boxes on his left and said, "The gunpowder contained in these boxes is used to fill the projectiles of iron cannons and handguns." I tried to change the saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal more or less. In the end, it was decided to get one tael of nitrate, three cents of sulfur, and two coins of charcoal was the most powerful, and the master called it 'flowering medicine'. ”

Then he pointed to the iron boxes on the right, and continued: "These iron boxes are gunpowder for pushing projectiles, and most of them are saltpeter. Roughly speaking, there is a ratio of one tael of nitrate, nine points of sulfur, and one cent of charcoal, and the master calls it 'fire medicine'. ”

Liu Shaoyang listened to it in his ears and secretly memorized the ratio of the two gunpowder ingredients. I couldn't help but sigh that Fang Tianlu was rigorous in his studies, and even the ratio of this gunpowder when it was used for different purposes was also differentiated and orderly.

The two of them rummaged through the boxes in the main hall to check, turned around, and came to a secret door in the stone wall of the underground hall. The color of this secret door is exactly the same as the surrounding stone wall, and if you don't look closely, it is really difficult to see. When Liu Shaoyang saw this door, he was slightly surprised and said: "Master, when the apprentices came here a year ago, there was no such door, and this door is ......."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly clapped his hands and smiled: "I know, this iron cannon car was transported from this gate!"

Liu Shaoyang is usually very talented, and he should have thought of the size of this artillery truck, and it would be difficult to transport it at the secret crossings elsewhere. It's just that as soon as he entered the armory today, his mind was completely attracted by Fang Tianlu's improved crossbow firearms, and he didn't care about such things at all.

Fang Tianlu twisted his long beard in his hand and said with a smile: "You kid is so clever on weekdays, but today it was only at this time that I thought that this artillery truck could not be transported from elsewhere." This secret door was designed by the master a few days ago, and the connecting road leads directly to the back mountain facing Hongze Lake, which was specially built to transport the iron artillery weapons in this armory to the outside. As he spoke, he touched the stone wall, pulled out a green brick, and reached in to turn the mechanism, and the secret door slowly rose, revealing a swarthy Yongdao entrance.

It turned out that the armory under the Lushou Villa occupied the position of the ground formation, and it was an important place to store weapons. Originally, in addition to entering and exiting through the secret passages of the remaining dark rooms, there was only one way to go directly to the top of the hall along the steps built by the surrounding walls.

The exit from the top of the temple is located in the hidden place of the grass and shrubs on the sunny side of the mountain range. The door is equipped with a concealed buckle, which can only be opened from the inside, so that in case of change, it can be guarded against external enemies.

Now that Fang Tianlu has set up another entrance, the two of them walked along the corridor to the entrance of the cave, Fang Tianlu twisted the pivot, and the iron door at the entrance of the cave opened. Liu Shaoyang saw that both sides of this iron gate could be opened, and he wondered in his heart, and couldn't help but say: "Master, in this way, this armory has a new entrance for transporting equipment, in case he is in a hurry, wouldn't it be easy for outsiders to enter?"

Fang Tianlu heard this: "You only know the surface, and you don't know the method. As he spoke, he shook the white feather on his body, pointed to the machine outside the iron gate, and said: "This outside machine looks ordinary, but it is connected to several copper bells in the ground array. When the lever opens the door, the brass bell inside will ring one after another. ”

Then he pointed to the inside of the cave and said with a smile: "In this corridor, Master, I am hanging a thousand-pound iron gate! The gate valve is set inside, and once it falls, it will be difficult to open it outside." When transporting equipment into it, you don't have to pay attention to the brass bell ringing. However, when a foreign enemy comes, the inside warns and the gate valve can be moved and the gate can be released to block the enemy. ”

After listening to this, Liu Shaoyang gave a thumbs up and praised sincerely: "Hehe, Master's intelligence is so high, and he is worried about things, today is really an eye-opener for the apprentice! When the apprentice has your knowledge, it will be in vain!"

At this time, the sky was already at sunset, and the moon was in the sky. The cool breeze on Hongze Lake at night, swept over the lake, and blew directly on the hillside where the two stopped.

Fang Tianlu's long hair hanging down his shoulders scattered with the evening breeze, and the white hair that was intertwined with the black hair reflected the moonlight, glowing with bursts of ghostly light. A pair of kind eyes looked at Liu Shaoyang, and his already old face showed a burst of desolation, and said astringently: "Yang'er, the ancients said 'seventy ancient rare', and the master is already sixty this year. Over the years, my ears and eyes have gradually become much worse than before, and I don't know how many years there are left. It's you, who have such insight at a young age, and your future is really limitless!"

Liu Shaoyang didn't expect his words, which actually caused Fang Tianlu to feel sad, and hurriedly said: "What do you keep saying, Master, you will definitely live a long life, and the apprentice wants to honor you for a few more years!"

Fang Tianlu shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Master's own body bones, don't you know yet? You doll don't need to comfort me anymore! Hey, more than ten years have passed like a white horse, in the snap of a finger." I remember when your uncle first took you to see me, you were only that tall. ”

As he spoke, Fang Tianlu pointed to the waist-deep fluffy grass on the hillside, "But now, you are tall and tall compared to Master!

Speaking of this, Fang Tianlu was silent for a while, swept away Fang Cai's sad expression, and returned to his previous demeanor of talking and laughing. With a wave of his robe, he said with a smile: "Let's go, accompany your master and me, take a boat to this Hongze Lake to drink and admire the moon! Go and ask Steward Lu to prepare a wine and food tent, and then call Xuanqing's little ghost too!"

Liu Shaoyang saw that the master's face was gone, and he responded with joy: "Okay, I'll go now, I will accompany the master to drink enough this time!"

At night, the water and sky of Hongze Lake are the same, the moon shadow is sinking, and the breeze is turbulent and sparkling. Divide the light of the moon, the Milky Way, and the lake is clear and endless.

Liu Shaoyang's master and apprentice swung the canopy boat, looking up at the boundless void and looking at the boundless water. Xuan Qing sat on the bow of the boat, boiling sake in front of the fire, and the white gas in the copper kettle curled into the sky.

The jade rope in the sky hangs high, and the Milky Way is shallow. Fang Tianlu and Liu Shaoyang raised their glasses and drank wine, Liu Shaoyang suddenly smiled and asked Xuan Qing: "Xuan Qing, you look at the night sky, point out the six stars of the Southern Dipper to Brother Shaoyang, I will take a look!"

Hearing this, Xuan Qing rolled a pair of black eyes and put down the pu fan. Stretched out his hand and pointed to the six stars of Chengdou in the southern sky at night, and said in a childish voice: "Brother Shaoyang, you also look down on me, this Xuanqing has long been remembered, ah! ”

Fang Tianlu on the side saw that what Xuan Qing was pointing out was exactly right, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, you little baby didn't read the books in the Daozang Pavilion in vain!"

Xuan Qing's eyes stared at the night sky, and suddenly asked, "Master, is it true that the Antarctic Immortal Emperor and the Southern Dipper Six Star Monarch in the Xuanmen classics?"

Fang Tianlu couldn't help but smile when he heard this, and said with a smile: "The heavenly gods live in the Divine Palace, and they are in charge of the heavens, earth, and stars, of course!"

When Xuan Qing heard this, he shouted with an excited look on his face: "That's good, I must study astronomy hard." In the future, when you complete your studies, please ask the gods of Nandou to come down and prolong your life for Master. Let you live to be more than 800 years old, just like that Pengzu!"

Fang Tianlu heard this, and reprimanded with a smile: "You kid is pure nonsense, the heavens are destined for life, and all living beings should obey the way of heaven and live their own lives.

Liu Shaoyang listened to Xuanqing's words, and couldn't help laughing out loud and said: "Master, it's rare that Xuanqing has such filial piety at such a young age, it's really rare!"

The three of them chatted and laughed a few times, and Liu Shaoyang also drank a little too much. There has always been a thought in my heart, and at this time, with the strength of the wine, I blurted out: "Master, the apprentice has a thought buried in his heart for a long time. It's hard to say it in front of my uncle, so I want to tell you about it, Master. ”

Fang Tianlu drank the wine in the bottle again, and said with a smile: "Yang'er, what do you have in your heart, but it doesn't hurt to say it!"

Liu Shaoyang glanced at the night of the lake outside the boat, and said slowly: "Master, this Ming Court has occupied the world for a long time, and its foundation is deep. Although 'Su Song is re-endowment', the people of Jianghuai have many complaints, but they are not yet in the field of rebellion. Shicheng's ancestor was in Lianghuai back then, although he was quite loved by the people, but our Five Elements Gate plan to revive the Great Zhou, can it really be done?"

Fang Tianlu was silent for a moment after hearing this, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "It's good that you didn't tell your uncle this, what a love he had with his wife in his early years, but the Jiang family died in Zhu Yuanzhang's chaotic army." In addition, when he was young, he set up the ambition of assisting the Ming Lord and sweeping the world, but he was forced by Zhu Yuanzhang to hide in the rivers and lakes. For this kind of reason, he swore to oppose Zhu Yuanzhang since the death of the first master of Shicheng, and he was afraid that he would be angry. ”

Speaking of this, he paused and said: "Your master knows that the sky is easy to reason, and the Jinling Jingshi of the Ming Court is just 'Xing', although it is a tiger standing on the dragon plate and the land of Wang Xing, but it is just 'Xing'. The capital is here, and it is destined to rise very glorious, but it is difficult to prosper. The Ming Court must have flourished here, but it could not exist here for a long time. It can be as short as ten years, or as long as twenty years, during which there will be earth-shaking changes. Li Tang metaphysics Yuan Tiangang, Li Chunfeng perceived the way of heaven, and used Zhou Yi gossip calculations to launch a "Tui Bei Tu". The twenty-eighth image is: 'Xin Mao Kan is shaking up', which is a bad omen. He also said: 'The grass is on fire, and the palace is flying', which means that the Ming Court and Jinling will soon change. ”

Liu Shaoyang listened carefully to what Fang Tianlu said, his eyes turned back from the night scene of the lake and mountains, and said softly: "Master, Shaoyang also knows a little about metaphysics, and I have heard of this "Pushing Back Map". But this palace is in ashes, and the throne has changed, but it is only a catastrophe. After that, who is the king of the world, but he has never said. Can we take advantage of this opportunity to revive the Great Zhou?"

A trace of worry crossed Fang Tianlu's face, and he sighed: "As the saying goes, 'it is up to people to plan things, and things are done in heaven', this way of heaven can be smooth but irreversible, and the will of heaven can be inherited but not violated! ”

The three of them went on a night trip, chatting over wine, and before they knew it, it was midnight. Xiao Tong Xuanqing only drank a few glasses, his playfulness gradually faded, and his drowsiness swelled up. Fang Liu and the others had run out of wine, and Fang Tianlu was already lying in the boat, half drunk and half awake.

Liu Shaoyang accompanied the master to drink, relying on the profound Xuangong, but he was still sober, and when he saw the moonlight, he knew that the hour was not early, so he turned the bow of the boat and rocked the oar against the shore.
