Chapter Eighty-Seven: This Wang Zhe is very material!
"My sect does not say that those who are immortal, they are not immortal, and they are also superb."
"This supreme avenue, not a small art of prolonging life, the Tao qi incarnates the heaven and the earth, and nourishes all things, which is grasped, there is the most holy existence. The big ones are sages, the small ones are ordinary people, and the ones who fly and dive stupidly stop the ears of those who are biased. This is the most obvious reason. ”
Wang Chongyang continued, feeling the atmosphere of the Wende Hall as he spoke.
He didn't say anything about it halfway, because the entire Wende Hall was extremely quiet and confused. Wang Chongyang also saw the blankness on Li Gang's face.
This is normal, when he just studied with the master, he was also as confused as Li Gang.
The Taoist scriptures are obscure, Li Gang's reaction is really normal, and His Majesty's appearance is probably the same.
"I guess I know what you mean." Zhao Huan said that he did taste a little bit, not that he didn't understand, but that he really heard the truth.
Wang Chongyang's all-true way does not speak of immortality, it is not that he does not want to live forever, but he has transcended the art of immortality, not to prolong life, but to live forever with "true nature".
Zhao Huan once had such a line in a movie he had seen before.
In his life, he will die three times.
For the first time, when your heart stops beating and your breath dies, you are biologically declared dead.
The second time, when you are buried, people are dressed in black to attend your funeral. They declare that you no longer exist in this society, and that you are quietly gone.
The third death is the last person in this world to remember you, forget you.
Then you will truly die, and the whole universe will no longer be related to you.
He suddenly thought of a sentence from the complete collection he had recently read: If a person does not live in people's hearts, then he is really dead.
These worldly masters can always think of one place!
Your Majesty really understands?
Wang Chongyang put a big question mark in his heart, this scripture is obscure, does His Majesty really understand what he wants to express?
He didn't know, and he didn't dare ask.
"The secret of Jindan lies in one life and one life. Sexuals, heaven also. often submerged; The one who lives, the earth, often lurks in the umbilicus. The top one, the sexual root also. The navel is also ......"
"Stop." Zhao Huan shouted to stop in time, and the following is the one that involves superstition.
He felt that this should be stopped, because in the current Wende Palace, there is also an old man who is dying and dying, and he is a master of the Dao.
If this kind of teacher listened to the words of this Taoist priest and took Jindan and other goods indiscriminately, wouldn't it be a painful loss of loyalty?
As soon as he heard Zhao Huan shouting to stop, and considering the various performances of contacting this new emperor, knowing his thoughts, he was a little relieved, and a little stunned.
Man is inherently dead, or heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than a feather.
In my life, I am already heavier than Mount Tai, so why should I think about such trivial matters?
"I saw the treasure offered by your apprentice Guo Jing, called the Soft Hedgehog. This kind of process can also be prepared in the Ordnance Superintendent, and I am curious about where this raw material comes from? Zhao Huan asked about business.
Li Gang's eyes instantly became like a beast that chose people to devour.
The Great Song Dynasty has been looking for iron materials for one hundred and sixty years, but has not found a suitable raw material for forging steel armor.
It was only after the recovery of Qingtang that there was a small supply of iron, but it was a drop in the bucket.
As soon as Wang Chongyang entered the door, he saw the soft armor next to him, and this Guo Jing had a good name.
On the way to Wang Chongyang, his personal servant also told him why His Majesty summoned him.
"Your Majesty, this armor is a cold-forged armor brought back by a fellow villager of the grass people in the Western Army, and it was smelted from the iron harrier of Western Xia. Your Majesty, this soft hedgehog armor is not an iron material in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty. ”
Wang Chongyang's answer made everyone in Wende Hall extremely disappointed.
Yes, it's not just the Great Song Dynasty that is looking for iron materials, but the former Han and Tang dynasties are also looking for iron materials!
You just can't find iron-rich ore.
In the pre-Qin period, there were only thirty-seven iron mountains,
And the Han Empire ended for four hundred years! Thirty-seven Iron Mountains have been turned into forty-nine!
An iron official was set up to supervise the iron affairs, and the salt and iron were set up as a franchise.
The former Tang Dynasty was the most prosperous, with a total of one hundred and four places, but only fifty-three of the one hundred and four Iron Mountains were in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty.
Fifty-three seems to be a lot, and there shouldn't be a shortage of iron, but the Great Song Dynasty lacks good iron!
Most of the iron ore in the Great Song Dynasty is poor ore, and the iron and stone quality is extremely poor!
For example, in the Liao Kingdom, there is iron from the Western Regions, which is refined from the Iron Stone, and the Iron Stone comes from the remnants of the Dayue Clan in the Western Regions.
During the Tang Dynasty, the Da Yue clan was naturally in the territory, and they could use it as they wanted.
However, the influence of the Great Song Dynasty in the Western Regions is really minimal, and it is really difficult to find this remnant.
What is the difference between the iron of the Great Song Dynasty? Li Gang didn't know either.
I only know the same forging method, Qingtang iron can be forged into cold forging armor, but the Great Song Dynasty still needs to pick the iron essence of the five mountains and the gold of Liuhe to forge a batch of armor.
It's just not enough!
There is no good iron!
No matter how capable the blacksmith is, it's all in vain!
The annual output of more than 20,000 catties of iron, but the soldiers in the world have no armor to use.
Sometimes Li Gang wonders if it's because he didn't cut his skin and bleed, and he can't make cast iron into fine.
Or is it a lack of will? Or is it a lack of physical strength? Or is it a tyrant who is unkind?
After all, Ou Yezi, a master of sword casting, once said that lack of will, lack of physical strength, and unkindness of tyrants are the three evils of sword weapons.
Wang Chongyang has realized that he needs to speak on his own.
Otherwise, he, a grass citizen, is afraid that he will not be able to get out of this Wende Hall alive.
He smiled and said, "Step on a thousand mountains and climb to the top." Eight wilderness quarries strange stones, and Liuhe gathers Jinying. Smelted into a furnace and gradually became an army. The flames rise, the purple air rises, Gusu quenches the heavenly fire, and Wushan sharpens the treasure. Molten iron and copper paste, steelmaking forging. ”
"With the Qi of water and fire, the pottery of the five essences, and the life and death of yin and yang, take the sum of raw and cooked, you can get cold forged steel, and then ......"
"Speak human words!" Zhao Huan frowned and interrupted Wang Chongyang!
The appearance of this bookbag, the Qi of water and fire, the life and death of the five essences, the sum of raw and cooked, what the hell!
When is this, is it interesting to play this kind of anagram!
Wang Chongyang was very helpless, and he wanted to popularize his Taoist ideas.
Once again, the new emperor seems to prefer the method of forging steel to his Taoism.
He felt that his Taoism was better than his own forging!
But the new emperor doesn't accept this set at all, what can he do?
However, since he let Guo Jing come to Bianjing City, he is ready to enter the WTO.
Naturally, it is necessary to follow the emperor's wishes. This Wende Hall is full of personal officials, wearing armor and carrying knives, he is a living person, no matter how high his martial arts are, he is also afraid of knives!
After all, no one has an immortal golden body.
Wang Chongyang stopped his Taoist words and said, "Let's talk about this first. Your Majesty doesn't know that my Great Song Dynasty has been poor for a hundred years, and it is not a crime of surveying or forging. ”
