145 With a bang, gunpowder was invented

Chu Tianxiu looked at the direction of Xuanwu Street, the raging flame pillars rising into the sky, and the explosions that he remembered from time to time, and was a little stunned for a while.

Xuanwu Temple?

A single thunderbolt, at most slashing a giant tree or destroying a house, could not have such a great flame power.

And it's still thunderstorm season, and ordinary things can't burn at all.

A thought flashed through Chu Tianxiu's mind, could it be that Li Tiantian's old god stick's alchemy furnace had exploded?

In this case, gunpowder should have been refined?!

"Heavenly thunder, this is a natural disaster! ... Could it be that Tianlei is warning him, who will he punish? ”

Dong Xianliang's face was full of shock and horror, and he muttered in a low voice.

Thinking of this, Dong Xian's conscience was suddenly ecstatic.

He has just proclaimed the "Yin and Yang Calamity Theory", and there are no examples to prove this doctrine yet.

The natural disaster in front of us is an excellent case to verify the "Yin and Yang Disaster Theory".

...

"Let's go, let's take a look!"

Chu Tianxiu took Zu'er and rushed to the Xuanwu Temple on Xuanwu Street.

Dong Xianliang and the Confucian scholars also hurriedly rushed to the Xuanwu Temple, wanting to see what was going on.

A large group of them rushed to the Xuanwu Temple, only to find that the place where the accident occurred was not the main hall of the Xuanwu Temple, but the backyard of the temple.

The Taoist priests of the Xuanwu Temple were all stupid by this terrifying explosion.

When I came to the backyard of the Xuanwu Temple, I saw a row of side rooms in a mess.

Under the drizzle, there are many wings in the backyard, and there are fires burning everywhere inside and outside.

Chu Tianxiu found that outside one of the wings, there were a lot of black charcoal powder, white saltpeter powder, and yellow sulfur powder.

The air was still filled with the smell of gunsmoke.

This chamber should have been used to stack these raw materials for refining the "elixir of immortality".

At the wall, there are traces of being struck by a thunderbolt.

It was supposed to be a thunderbolt that accidentally struck the chamber and caused a gunpowder explosion.

Chu Tianxiu was stunned, this is how many raw materials of gunpowder are piled up, so that a large area of the chamber can be blown up to the sky and burned.

"Quick, the Xuanwu Temple is on fire, come and put out the fire!"

Nearby neighbors rushed to put out the fire with buckets and shouting loudly. Watering the burning chamber and the vats.

The Confucian scholars hurriedly followed to put out the fire.

On the ground in the backyard, between the walls and tiles, there were more than a dozen young Taoist priests, all of whom were as black as charcoal, covered with blood, crying and wailing all over the field.

"Oops~! I'm dying of my own way, who will save me! ”

The old fairy Li was also lying on the ground, covered in mud and blood, moaning.

Chu Tianxiu hurriedly picked up Old Immortal Li and asked, "Old Immortal Li, how are you?" Can the injury be severe? ”

Li Nature's old god stick was covered with muddy water.

He was refining the elixir by the alchemy furnace at the time, but he didn't expect that suddenly a thunderbolt fell from the sky, struck the chamber, and was swept away by the violent gunpowder explosion, and fell into the mud, groaning in pain.

When Li Tiantian saw Chu Tianxiu coming, he couldn't help hugging Chu Tianxiu's thigh in horror and cried bitterly:

"Little Hou Ye, what kind of Dan is this refining? Could it be that the Dan Fang of the Alchemist of the Yan Kingdom is real, this is the real elixir?

You tell me the truth!

This way is no longer refined!

Don't dare to practice anymore!

This elixir of immortality is something that immortals can enjoy, which mortals can get. This god is going to kill this delusional mortal of the poor road! ”

Chu Tianxiu suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, looking at Old Fairy Li's appearance of crying hard, he was full of energy, and it didn't look like he was seriously injured.

It's just that I was greatly stimulated, obviously frightened by this gunpowder explosion, and lost my soul.

Chu Tianxiu was relieved.

The gunpowder was accidentally ignited by the thunderbolt and blew up some of the chambers.

Li Lao Shen's stick man is fine.

Now that this gunpowder has been successful, go back and ask Li Lao Divine Stick to send some into the palace, so that the emperor can know that although Li Lao Immortal has not refined the elixir of life, he has refined a big killing weapon.

"It's okay, it's just a little injury! Old Immortal Li, you are blessed with a great life, where is God willing to kill you!

If you want to split, you must first chop to death my little faint marquis who has the elixir recipe. ”

Chu Tianxiu comforted, broke Li Tiantian's old god stick's hands, and hurriedly shouted: "Go and invite the old doctor Chun Yuchun to come!" ”

Soon, the old doctor Chun Yuchun took some disciples and rushed to the Xuanwu Temple to rescue the wounded, and applied healing medicine to the young Taoist priests and seriously injured Taoist priests, and bandaged the wounds.

Of course, Old Divine Stick Li was carried to the Xuanwu Hall to rest.

...

The Royal Palace in the distance.

Emperor Xiang Yanran was alarmed by a loud noise outside the palace, and walked out of the palace in a yellow robe, looking at the direction of Xuanwu Street with a solemn expression.

Even in the palace, he could see the flames rising into the sky, and there was something faintly bad in his heart.

Thunderstorms in the spring are not uncommon.

However, a thunder fire caused such a big thunder and earth fire in Jinling City, and the sound spread to the palace.

He, the emperor, had lived half his life, but he had never seen such a horrific sight before.

Such a loud sound and movement can be heard by most of Jinling City.

This is too abnormal, there must be a demon when things go wrong!

"I've never seen such a thunderstorm and fire... Where did this thunder fire start? ”

Xiang Yanran was worried and asked in a deep voice.

"The old slave has never seen it, and it is estimated that it is the direction of Xuanwu Street. The old immortal Li of the Xuanwu Temple is refining the elixir... Could it be? ”

Cai and the big eunuch didn't understand what was going on, so he said carefully: "The old slave will send someone to take a look immediately." ”

"Well, figure out the situation and report back immediately! Find out the truth as soon as possible, and don't make the people of Jinling City panic. Also, the Praetorian Guards in the palace were on increased alert. ”

"Yes!"

...

This big explosion that shattered the sky and the earth shook almost half of Jinling City.

The entire city of Jinling was shocked by this explosion.

The princes, gatekeepers, and people in Jinling City all looked at the raging fire in the direction of the Xuanwu Temple in amazement.

"The Xuanwu Temple was blown up by the thunder!"

"Li Tiantian's old immortal is refining the elixir of immortality for Empress Dowager Shen, the elixir is about to be refined, and he was jealous of the heavens, and he hit a heavenly thunder and blew up the Xuanwu Temple!"

"This must be the case!"

"Otherwise, why didn't you blow up the Xuanwu Temple somewhere else? Xuanwu Temple, that is the mansion where the gods live, how dare the thunder to blow up. It just so happened that Old Immortal Li was refining the elixir of immortality! ”

"That's right, otherwise, just a thunderbolt, and the ordinary power will split a tree. This time, it almost overturned the backyard of the Xuanwu Temple! ”

"It's all the fault of this elixir of immortality!"

"Heavenly jealous elixir!"

All kinds of gossip quickly spread in Jinling City.

No one in Jinling City has ever seen such a big explosion, this is not the punishment of the thunder, what will it be?

According to Dong Xianliang's "Yin and Yang Calamity", this is that God is warning someone and punishing them slightly.

Who to punish?

Of course, it's Li Nature's old fairy... The little dusk behind it!

If it weren't for Xiao Duanhou's instigation, drumming, and pit the Xiang royal family with 100,000 taels of silver to refine the elixir, where would there be the antecedent of refining the elixir.

Of course, there will be no consequence of being struck by lightning.

Many Confucian scholars excitedly rolled up their sleeves, picked up brushes, and worked hard to write, preparing to write news comments for the newspapers of various residences in Jinling City, and criticize them fiercely.

can not only scold Xiao Duhou, but also get more than a dozen copper plate pen fees, what a beautiful thing!
