Chapter 648: The Meaning of the Heavenly Steps

In fact, Li Zhi doesn't know the origin of this poem, it seems to be a common sentence in the previous life, the meaning is ordinary, but it is absolutely appropriate, and each sentence is infinitely suitable for tonight's situation.

Sure enough, as soon as this poem came out, it attracted Mi Rui's praise:

"The couplet is neat, just in time, although it is a little too straightforward, but the more esoteric poetry is not suitable for the store to post!"

After the ladies solemnly appeared at the master's house, they had already guessed Pang Xi's plan, but they all hid their smiles in their hearts, and their faces were full of surprise.

Pang Xi's purpose is naturally to get back some face for her husband, as for what the two Europeans think, she doesn't care.

In fact, Li Zhi felt uncomfortable before, not because he had a private opinion on the two people, but because of that arrogance, and even a sense of superiority that he didn't know.

The conceit of Europeans is well known, and in this day and age, they already considered Europe the center of the world.

In fact, in this day and age, the center of the world is Asia.

The Tang Dynasty and Tianzhu in the Far East, the Ottoman Turkey in the Middle East, and the Arab States were all great empires with developed politics, economy and culture, and Europe had just come out of the Middle Ages at this time.

Western Europe dominated the world hundreds of years later, and the Renaissance, the Discoveries, the Reformation, the Industrial Revolution, the Enlightenment, and the liberal currents of thought almost all took place in Europe.

In addition, Britain, France, the Netherlands and other countries took the lead in completing the bourgeois revolution, embarked on the road of capitalist expansion and overseas colonization, and carried out the primitive accumulation of capital.

However, how powerful is Datang at this time? An example will illustrate it, and it is well documented.

At that time, the horse lance and Tang knife were controlled weapons, and foreign trade was prohibited because they were afraid of being imitated.

A low-level general of the Tang cavalry stationed in the Western Regions, when he was suppressing bandits, the people under him were touched by the camp, and three of the nine horsemen under him died, and the full set of equipment was gone.

Except for himself, the remaining six all ran out bare.

Seeing that he was about to be beheaded, the general gritted his teeth and pawned his ancestral horse lance to an Arab trader, in exchange for twenty-five sets of plate armor and dragoon spears, and knightly swords.

and thirty Arabian horses covered with iron chain mail, and six Byzantine knightly prisoners of war.

One man and two horses went to chase the more than 30 thieves, and finally grabbed the equipment, and wanted to go back to redeem his horse lance, but found that the merchant business was not done, and he had already turned around and ran back to Arabia without a trace, and did not catch up.

Later, the subordinates said that they had leaked their mouths, and the matter was discovered by Shangguan, and the unlucky child was hanged.

Just a horse lance, its material and craftsmanship level far exceeded that of Europe at that time, not to mention the Tang knife created after hundreds of years of craftsmanship provided by Li Zhi.

You must know that the cost of this pole can be exchanged for more than 20 sets of complete equipment of European noble knights of the same period on the Silk Road today, and the western frontier is also a full set of equipment, including horses, which is still the strength of the Tang Dynasty at that time.

And at that time, it was a troubled time, and a set of European plate armor was even more valuable, representing the income of a European county for decades.

The equipment of knights in Europe was extremely expensive, so knights had to be supplied by at least one county fief.

There is a team of craftsmen who specialize in mending the plate armor on the knight's body, as well as a team of horsemen, knight auxiliaries, and so on.

Of course, horse lance is not everywhere in Datang, this thing has a complex process and an extremely low yield of finished products, and it is impossible to install it on a large scale.

They are all carried out by martial artists with status, or passed down from generation to generation.

Someone said, even so, the full set of equipment of the European noble knights is not so expensive, right? Is it reliable?

In the Middle Ages, a set of armor was about the price of twenty to thirty bulls, not including horses, and good horses were also twenty or thirty oxen, and one set was not enough, at least two sets.

So the knight's full set, not counting the price of swords and weapons, is about eighty to one hundred and twenty bulls.

In addition, the knight's heavy sword is also expensive, and there are other equipment, and the gun and shield are basically disposable, plus the equipment of at least one retinue and at least one mule.

Some elaborate knights also had to be equipped with a mule to avoid the usual weight of the horse.

This is troublesome, if it is equipped with the armor of the horse, it will be even more extravagant, and it must be equipped with two horses, otherwise when it arrives at the place, the war horse will not be able to run, and it will be a big loss, and it will have to pay for death.

I still have to repair my nails, anyway, it's not an ordinary trouble to maintain that thing.

Chain mail is more troublesome, and when the broken thing is not in use, it is necessary to fill sandbags to remove rust, and the opponent's way to deal with it is to directly hammer you into the flesh with a heavy object, and Europe at that time could not cure tetanus.

It is precisely because of these understandings that Li Zhi is quite unaccustomed to the European mentality at this time in his heart.

Compared with the other ladies, he could only see Li Zhi's helplessness on some deliberate expression, while Pang Qi could understand something deeper due to magical perception.

That's why she had the idea to come up with it.

In her opinion, her brother in the text, but the champion who has been tested by the poetry conference, temporarily saves a few verses, which is not a piece of cake.

But I didn't expect that although the poems recorded in Li Zhi's final book, even if they are not immortal, they are extremely seamless with the various situations at this moment.

It not only completely summarizes the scenery, scenes, moods, and current situations, but also cleverly borrows the contempt for the people of the two Eastern Roman Empires on the side.

With the level of sinicization of those two,Of course, you can't understand the deep meaning of the micro "drunken smile",That is, those who don't know the inner mystery in others,Can't understand it all.。

Therefore, Mi Rui's evaluation cannot be said to be low, but it is only a poem for the occasion, a certain celebration.

Of course, Li Zhi didn't explain much, hugged his fists and thanked the four times, and let the old club, who was also happy and happy, take it away, and the scene was regarded as a small episode, and soon no one remembered.

But all this can't be hidden from Xin Jingshan, he is also a first-level grandmaster, and any subtle abnormalities in the scene can be fully understood.

The conversation between Li Zhi and the two foreigners, Pang Ti hurriedly found the main house in the palace, and combined with the whole poem, the subtle changes in the expressions of the ladies were brought to them.

So while Li Zhi walked by, he whispered about it:

"Mr. Li still has a strong sense of nationality, and he doesn't lose anything at all, presumably the two blonde foreigners still don't know anything!"

Seeing the inside story of its connection, Li Zhi was not surprised:

"I don't care what the two of them think, and I don't have the time to teach them how to behave, even if they are not many times, they are still our guests after all, and it is good to have a lump of harmony on the surface!"

"In short, it's good that you don't have a narrow sense of national consciousness, in fact, aren't we Datang people also sick? I just want to say, this kind of psychology of yours, don't affect the business, although Zhengqing Wenqitang is appalling enough! ”

"I can save this truth, but Brother Jingshan said something considerate for no reason, is there any purpose?"

"Hehe, do you see this? Is there any such superb wine? I'll leave a few bottles for dude. ”

Li Zhibai glanced at him, "I know that you don't have a simple kindness, how many bottles do you have?" Of course, Brother Jingshan has already tasted it, there is spirituality in the wine, and I will not waste the half-moon stone on winemaking for some tongue desires, and there are not a few bottles in stock, so I can only give you one. ”

"I knew it had something to do with the Half-Moon Stone! Well, one bottle at a time, I've got to hurry over, or I'll lose the rest! ”

After getting what he wanted, Xin Jingshan wiped his head and left, what kind of national dignity, what business, he was too lazy to have that idleness.

Li Zhi smiled bitterly and shook his head, this person is also a little more practical, his daring purpose is satisfied, and even polite words are saved.

Returning to the Chaoyuan Secret Realm that night, Li Zhi took out the Awareness Pill and gave it to the ladies.

Of course, Yu Ran was not included in this list, and the energy in the elixir had little effect on the body, but even so, he didn't plan to risk it.

Ah Ming, Sasher, Liqi, and Fu Chen also have this treatment, because for the first time refining, although there are only three Shakya fruits, Li Zhi has not tried to join Jin Tielan.

With the addition of gold and iron, not only will the level of the pill be increased by one level, the efficacy will be increased several times, and the rule perception obtained will be multiplied.

Let Qiqige lead the three apprentices to find the two ancestors, and Li Zhi rushed to the Tongtian Steps alone.

He needs to break through once again, and undoubtedly the potential under pressure is the most effective.

The last time he stopped at the seventy-third layer, he had only just been promoted to a third-level grandmaster.

Now he has a faint feeling that the peak of the third level is just around the corner, and for him, there is no actual bottleneck under the True Meditation Period, but the stimulation potential is like a Jedi rebound, which should be the easiest way to advance.

Seeing that the strongest forces in the cultivation world, such as Tianhuo Village and Qiantian Temple, were gradually appearing, he needed an absolute strength to deal with these huge and terrifying forces.

Originally, his promotion speed was already terrifying, but the reborn was a special existence with a plug-in, and he could only compare himself with himself, and there was nothing to refer to.

Such a particularity, no matter how unbelievable it is, belongs to the understandable category, otherwise it will live up to the blessing of living again.

The origin of this Tongtian Ladder is not simple, it is not built by Yu Nan's personal ability, because it is too difficult to establish a cultivation space containing gravity, and it is not something that ordinary people can have the ability to build.

Unless the cultivation has reached the level of an immortal, has a profound understanding of the way of heaven and earth, or has considerable attainments in the formation together, it is impossible to establish it.

When Yu Nan accidentally obtained the Chaoyuan Secret Realm, in fact, the Tongtian Steps were just a steep slope, and there was a gravitational effect inside, which should be related to the magnetic field in the steep slope.

However, with Li Zhi's modern science in later generations, it is impossible to explain why this gravitational magnetic field is combined with cultivation and advancement.

Going up the stone steps, that is, in order to take care of future generations, Yu Nan cultivated here with an obvious sign as a reference, so that the steep slope was presented in the form of climbing along the stone steps.

But he could only climb to the extreme of the later stage of the True Meditation ability, that is, the position of the stone steps on the second and third floor, which was still obscured by the dense fog.

As for Yu Nan himself, he didn't know how far he would go up to the top of the mountain.

According to Li Zhi's personal estimate, the top of the mountain may be the place where the immortal realm can be reached, and it is obvious that it is too early for him to look at this matter at this time.

Li Zhi's meridian and body strengthening technique is actually a very clever body refining technique.

Moreover, this kind of two-in-one technique is different from other types of body alchemy techniques, which require the assistance of true qi of various attributes, and is by no means a simple cultivation of the physical body.

Therefore, as a body refiner, he understood more clearly than anyone else that the cultivation method of doubling gravity could greatly improve the progress of body refining.

In order to speed up the ascension of one's own realm, this is an advantage that other methods cannot match.

Under the double gravity, you can make your body limbs and limbs bear gravity in all aspects, be squeezed by strong pressure, and then tap your own potential.

Although it was very hard to cultivate under such circumstances, the blood would not flow, and even the internal strength and true essence would become as slow as a turtle.

But if you persist, there is no doubt that your cultivation will become twice as effective with half the effort, and you can temper your flesh and blood and become more and more powerful.
