Chapter 695: The Power of the Fire Gun
……
Although the pomp and circumstance of the fireworks show has passed, that cold winter night is destined to become a legendary day, and it will inevitably be remembered for a lifetime by those who have seen it with their own eyes.
After that night, the reputation of Qinghehou became even hotter in Nanyang, and tens of thousands of tourists were like lobbyists, constantly telling people from the south and north about the grand occasion of the immortal family they saw.
The Taiyi Temple on the bank of the Xiaoqing River in Qinghe Town has villagers from nearby towns and villages going to offer candy, rice and noodles every day, and the business travelers who come will also go to pay a stick of incense and ask the Marquis of Qinghe to bless them and make a fortune.
The incense of the Taiyi Temple in Wancheng is even more prosperous, and the offering table in front of the Taiyi Shrine and even the ground are full of melons and fruits, and in the big pit that was blown up at the beginning, a thick layer of copper coins has been piled up, all kinds of coins are available, and there are even gold cakes and jade hairpins and other things.
Several respected Wancheng elders and a group of immortal monks are responsible for receiving an endless stream of pilgrims here every day.
This group of monks claimed to be Taiyi disciples, they devoutly worshiped Taiyi Xianzun, were willing to convert to Taiyi Divine Religion, and respected Qinghe Marquis Chen Xu as the leader, and also carved a lifelike statue of Chen Xu with a huge Nanmu and placed it in the temple for worship.
However, Chen Xu didn't know about this matter, and after he learned about it, he only asked people to bring one sentence, he was not allowed to violate the law and commit adultery in his name, otherwise he would inevitably use Taiyi Shenlei to blow it up into powder.
With Chen Xu's affirmation, this group of people became more religious, and let people carve statues of Yu Wuya and Shui Gentle on both sides of Chen Xu's statue, as the left and right protectors of Xianzun's disciples, and later carved a pair of giant pandas as fairy beast mounts, and then carved a monkey squatting on Chen Xu's shoulder, called the spirit monkey Wukong......

"Fast~Fast~~"
In the Wild Wolf Valley in Qinghe Town, five hundred teenagers were divided into five teams and were sprinting.
On the training ground, five straight tracks of 100 zhang parallel are drawn with lime, and five people participate in each round, and the first place will be qualified for promotion.
This is the list of Chen Xu's selection to follow to Xianyang, a total of fifty people need to be selected, and in the absence of an accurate chronograph, it can only be carried out in this simple way.
In the applause and cheers of all the teenagers, everyone involved was very excited and very hard-working, at least to enter the first round, before they had the opportunity to follow Hou Ye to Xianyang and see a wider world.
Since Chen Xu returned to Qinghe Town in November, nearly two months have passed in a blink of an eye, and now it has reached the early spring season of January, although the weather is still cold, but after all, winter has passed, the wheat seedlings on both sides of the Xiaoqing River have been more than a foot high, the withered yellow slopes and grasslands have also begun to sprout new green, and even the flowers and plants in early spring have begun to sprout, blooming beautiful flowers in the cold wind.
After more than two months of training, this group of teenagers has completely been reborn, not only have they all taken off their yellow muscles and thin state, and even look much stronger, but they are also completely familiar with various passwords, and they have faintly had the shadow of a warrior when they walked, sat and lyed.
From the training to the present, no one has been driven away, everyone cherishes this opportunity very much, except for eating and sleeping, every day is a seemingly simple column training, and now everyone has been able to strictly follow orders to do various actions.
In fact, it is not easy to train this seemingly simple movement to the current state, after all, they are all a group of wild children.
Looking at the teenager who was running for his life, Chen Xu felt very satisfied.
Chen Hu was also very satisfied, although he didn't understand Chen Xu's seemingly useless walking, sitting and lying practice every day, but after more than a month of training, Chen Hu also felt the benefits, that is, strict orders and prohibitions, as long as there is no password to call back, whether it is walking into a puddle or hitting a thorn bush, you need to keep walking, even if someone is bleeding from the thorns, no one takes half a step back.
This is an order, anyone who dares to hesitate and retreat will be severely punished, at first thirty push-ups, but after the punishment is done, there will be a reward for eating meat, but then it will be increased to fifty hundred, and now it has developed to two hundred perverts, and at this number, no one dares to deliberately disobey the order, because if you can't finish it, not only will you not have meat to eat, but you can't even eat.
Under Chen Xu's various strange rewards and punishments, the current group of teenagers have been able to obey all kinds of orders without the slightest violation.
Now that spring has begun, Chen Xu is also ready to go back to Xianyang, because the Dongfang Road has begun to be officially built, and there are still a few places that need to be changed and straightened, he has to personally guide the blasting, and this road is related to his gambling contract with Li Si, and it is the first time he really uses the power of commerce to leverage the development of the entire Daqin, once the road is completed, the entire Daqin will be completely revitalized from east to west, and the business will develop vigorously with this trunk road as the central axis, and with the commissioning of cement plants around the country, It will also greatly change the pattern of the building, so he needs to go back to Xianyang as soon as possible to command.
In particular, Huaxia Qianzhuang has now played the function of a central bank, using non-existent money to issue loans of more than 200 million yuan, so it is necessary to ensure the stable operation of Huaxia Qianzhuang, and there must be no slightest fork, otherwise it will lead to the collapse of the capital chain, not to mention the construction of roads, and perhaps the lives of several shareholders of Huaxia Qianzhuang will be lost.
The sound of applause and cheering in the valley came and went, groups of teenagers kept running, and one by one the shortlisted places began to appear.
In the midst of the fierce competition, two hours passed quickly, and a hundred finalists had appeared.
After a two-moment break for lunch, the finalists will be selected for the second round, this time including push-ups and sit-ups, each of which is limited to half a pillar of incense, and the top 80 people who complete the most will advance.
After resting for a moment again, the third round of selection was carried out, and eighty people acted together, running to the end of the valley two miles away to climb a bare and steep hillside, the slope was about two hundred meters high, and there were fifty small flags on the top of the mountain.
The short break between these three selections was a great test of physical limits for this group of teenagers.
Standing on the side of the mountain beam, watching the tired group of teenagers in the valley sweating profusely and rushing towards the slope at the end of the valley with pale faces, Chen Xu got up from a stone, took out a monocular and began to observe, Chen Hu who was standing next to him also held a monocular and looked at the end of the valley.
And the other teenagers in the valley who were not shortlisted or eliminated also ran into the valley to cheer on their teammates.
"The military heart is available, and everyone is united!" Chen Hu kept searching for the target of his attention among a group of teenagers from his glasses, and at the same time sighed with emotion.
"Dad, after I leave, all the remaining teenagers will be handed over to you, in addition to training walking, sitting and lying and blade equipment on weekdays, you can also take them to climb mountains and train more on weekdays, and provide sufficient food, and after a while, I will arrange for someone to bring some special weapons back to let them get familiar with the training!"
"Special weapons?" Chen Hu put down his glasses and turned his head to look at Chen Xu.
"Well, it's a gunpowder-driven weapon I created, which is completely different from the current knives, guns, bows and arrows, called Shenlei muskets, with a range of about fifty zhang, although the lethality will not be greater than that of bows and arrows, but it is easy to use, even women and children can control it flexibly after they are proficient......"
Chen Xu took out two handcuffs from his arms as he spoke, and then took out a few small bamboo pipes and put them on a large stone.
"This is the Divine Thunder Musket?" Chen Hu looked at this strange-shaped weapon and was puzzled.
"This is a portable divine thunder musket, called a handcuff, the range is only twenty zhang, mainly for self-defense, the real divine thunder musket is seven feet long, weighs more than twenty pounds......"
Chen Xu said as he took off a suede stuffed in the mouth of the bamboo pipe, poured most of the gunpowder into the barrel, stabbed it tightly with a poke rod and then poked the steel bullet wrapped in the suede into it, and finally poured the remaining gunpowder from the bamboo pipe into the fire door.
"Dad, what I put in just now is the gunpowder and some small iron bullets that set off the Divine Thunder Fireworks, you have already seen the operation, it is very simple, now I will show you the power of the Divine Thunder Musket, the sound is relatively loud, don't be afraid......"
"Boom~"
Chen Xu pulled the trigger, his arm and body shook slightly, only to hear a loud bang, accompanied by a flame spewing out from the muzzle, sawdust splashed on the trunk of a big tree ten meters away, and it was directly blasted out of a messy pit the size of a rice bowl, a thick green smoke dispersed with the wind, and the air was filled with the same choking smell after the fireworks were set off.
This loud noise not only frightened Chen Hu a lot, but many of the teenagers in the valley who were scrambling to climb the cliff were also frightened, almost all of them stopped, and some even rolled down in a panic.
"Didi~~"
"What's the panic, don't stop without an order, climb quickly!" A young leader roared with a bamboo flute, and at the same time looked back at the mountain range on the side in horror.
Chen Xu had already walked in front of the big tree at this time, looking at the sparse piece of bark that had been bombed, revealing the wood inside, and seven or eight iron bullets had all hit the trunk of the tree, embedded in the wood more than an inch deep.
"Dad, have you seen it, this is the power of the musket, it can smash the head of a wild wolf within five feet......
Chen Xu said as he touched the position where the handcuff hit.
Chen Hu came back from his incomparable fright, and also walked over to carefully look at the bullet marks on the trunk, nodded with a solemn face and said: "Yes, in terms of power, although it looks inferior to a bow and crossbow, it is better than a large attack area, if it hits a person's body, it will definitely open the flesh, if it hits the head, it will definitely die, I really can't imagine that this kind of power is just a little bit of gunpowder in the bamboo tube!" ”
"The real Divine Thunder Musket is more powerful, and with the fact that it emits a deafening sound and fire smoke at the same time, it will add more fear to the enemy!"
Chen Xu returned to the edge of the big stone and handed the other handcuff to Chen Hu: "Dad, I left this musket for you to be familiar with the use of the musket, and it can also be used for self-defense, it is very concealed to hide on the body, I will teach you how to load and shoot now......"
Next, Chen Xu carefully explained the structure of the handcuff, and then taught Chen Hu step by step how to load gunpowder.
Ten minutes later, Chen Hu had fully understood the construction of the handcuff and the usual maintenance measures, and the two of them had already filled the gunpowder steel balls.
"Boom~Boom~"
There were two loud loud bangs on the ridge again, and in the green smoke that dissipated, two pits appeared again in the big tree ten meters away, one of which was in the middle of the trunk, and the other was slightly off the edge, but it still blew off a large piece of bark, revealing the wood inside.
