Chapter Eighty-Nine: Digging a Grave

After getting the paper, mustard and paint sent by Zhang Shicheng, he was about to jump up with joy. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info now everything is ready only to owe the east wind, and this east wind is Uncle Zhang's artillery skills.

Rubbing paper tubes, filling gunpowder, adding mustard, twisting medicine, sealing the muzzle, and in a moment, Uncle Zhang loaded a large cannon battle.

He kept holding this cannon in his hand and regarded it as a treasure, thinking, mustard thunder, I don't know what it tastes like. I thought again, if I get a few more fireworks shells, won't I be able to use them as mortars?

However, when he put forward the concepts of two kicks, fireworks, and drill monkeys, Uncle Zhang, who makes a living from making artillery battles, was actually confused, and he didn't know what the monk was talking about.

After endless questioning, I learned that the form of firecrackers in ancient times is basically the same as that of firecrackers now. Pyrotechnics, on the other hand, are very different from modern pyrotechnics.

In "Qingyu Case, Yuan Xi" describes fireworks like this: the east wind blooms thousands of trees at night, and blows down, and the stars are like rain.

The fireworks here are not at all bursting into the sky, but all kinds of firecrackers are tied to a tall shelf, and you can watch the effect of fireworks and silver flowers falling from the sky.

I didn't know that the fireworks bomb I saw in my previous life was introduced to China from the West in the Qing Dynasty, and I scolded in my heart: Damn the egg! TV series kills people, who said that ancient fireworks are fireworks!

He has a limited understanding of fireworks, so when he expresses the types of fireworks and kicks he has seen in his previous life, he always stays on the surface effect and can't understand the key at all.

Fortunately, Uncle Zhang is a very talented craftsman, and he is more familiar with gunpowder than his own kang, so when he patiently listened to the endless and chaotic expressions, he still understood where the joints were.

"I've lived for so many years in vain, how could I not have thought of such a method of using gunpowder!" After Uncle Zhang thought through the key points, he sighed to himself.

And Shen Wansan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said: "If you can really make such firecrackers, the eldest brother will definitely have a lot of money!" ”

looked at Shen Wansan endlessly, and was happy in his heart: This Shen Wansan really has a talent for business, I just revealed a little, and he caught the business opportunity!

Uncle Zhang couldn't bear it anymore, so he immediately made a 'fireworks bomb'.

Constantly looking at the saltpeter and sulfur in the room, my heart beat a drum: if this accidentally goes off the fire, it won't blow up the house to the sky! He hurriedly suggested: "This gunpowder is too strong, and it will inevitably have hidden dangers when prepared in the city, and if it goes out of the fire, the gains will outweigh the losses." Let's find a place where no one is around, so that nothing goes wrong. ”

Uncle Zhang patted his head and said, "Sins and sins, the little old man is confused, but the little master is thoughtful." He instructed Zhang Shicheng: "Ninety-four, clean up, let's go to the workshop outside the city!" ”

Outside the north gate of Xuanzhen, Zhang Jiusi pushed a wheelbarrow cart with raw materials and utensils for making gunpowder and artillery on it.

The four of them walked along the path outside the north gate to Tulongpo, which was five miles away.

This Tulong Slope is a small hill, no more than two zhang high, no more than 20 zhang in a square circle, there is an unknown ancient temple on the slope, the temple is in chaos, although the temple has not collapsed, but it is only enough to shelter from the wind and rain.

A forest of trees, lush and green, cascading down from the top of the hill, with a ruined temple as the center, extends out of the hills, covering an area of about a mile.

In the woods at the back of the dirt slope, there is a simple adobe house, surrounded by a fence, and the wood gate is crooked to the side.

This is Uncle Zhang's property, and it is a place dedicated to making fireworks.

Xuanzhen has a fireworks show every year, although the scale is not large, but it is famous, the chief designer of this show is Uncle Zhang.

After the door was locked, a few people entered the house, just cleaned up briefly, and then began to make two kicks.

After a busy morning, I failed seven or eight times, and it wasn't until three o'clock in the afternoon that I got a finished product.

The four of them ran outside with anticipation and set themselves up in the middle of the courtyard.

Ignite the medicine twist endlessly.

Huh~~~ Tom!

The crisp sound of the explosion startled the birds and beasts in the forest, and they fled.

"It's successful, hahaha, Zhang Shizhu is really smart!" Dancing endlessly, and constantly praising him.

Shen Wansan was even more excited, these two cannon shots were a signal to make a fortune. So much so, many years later, he described the mood of that day to his second shopkeeper like this: As soon as the cannon sounded, there were ten thousand taels of gold! ”

Uncle Zhang was very excited, he had already touched the doorway, the so-called fireworks, is to send all kinds of fireworks into the sky with two kicks, let them explode in the air, in order to enjoy its fireworks.

The four of them hurriedly ate a few mouthfuls of dry food, and then began to devote themselves to the "scientific research project" again. It wasn't until the unitary time that a few fireworks bombs were made under the constant guidance. It is more appropriate to say that it is a ceremonial bomb, rather than a large two-kicker, because there is no way to make a spherical paper shell for the time being, so it can only be replaced by a cylinder.

Zhang Shicheng followed the endless instructions, found a pillar of appropriate thickness in the courtyard as a cannon barrel, and waited for the sky to get dark.

At the end of the unitary hour, it was getting late, and it was about to be changed. Several people set up bamboo tubes in the courtyard and lit the first fireworks bomb.

Poof~tom~whoo~

In the twilight, in mid-air, a fireball exploded, startling away the afterglow of the setting sun.

The whole forest was shrouded in five-colored light, fire trees and silver flowers, ten thousand stars fell, and everyone who watched was fascinated.

After the fireworks, in addition to the crow's cry in the distance, there was only the heavy wheezing sound of Zhang's uncle and nephew and Shen Wansan.

At this moment, it seems to have returned to the previous life, the society where the lights are dim and the night is blurred.

On the other side of Tulongling, more than 20 people in Tsing Yi were masked, and more than a dozen large wooden boxes were moved out of a dirt hole one after another.

Tom~da~whoo~

There was a shocking sound, and there was a thunderclap in mid-air! The flames are blazing!

"Mom!" A masked man in Tsing Yi was frightened by the thunder and fell to the ground, and a warm current flowed out of his crotch and soaked his buttocks.

He turned over and knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the soil hole: "Spare your life! Spare your life! ”

Seeing this, the rest of the people were also frightened, and they all pulled out steel knives from their backs, looking around vigilantly.

Barren hills and mountains, surrounded by twilight, when the grave is being dug and the grave is being dug and dug up, there is a natural vision, thunder and lightning, how not to make people afraid!

The man in Tsing Yi who had peed his pants was still kowtowing on the ground, and a man in Tsing Yi with a hat walked over quickly, kicked him over, and scolded: "What are you afraid of!" ”

The man in Tsing Yi, who was kneeling on the ground, pointed to the sky and exclaimed: "Retribution, retribution!" ”

The hat-bearer angrily rebuked, "Shut up! Dare to talk nonsense again, cut your tongue! ”

Then he said to everyone: "Maitreya came to the world, bless the disciples, go to heaven and earth, and the vajra will not break!" ”

The rest of the crowd also shouted in a low voice: "Maitreya came to the world, bless the disciples, go to heaven and earth, and King Kong will not break!" ”

Tom~da~whoo~

Just as everyone was chanting the incantation in unison, there was another thunderbolt above their heads.

Rao is hat man has strong concentration, and he can't help but tremble in his heart.

"Ahh With a miserable scream, when the hat-bearer looked down, the person who was kneeling on the ground was already scared to death!

The convoy was in a commotion, and if it weren't for the groom's control, the five or six horses pulling the cart would have fled in panic.

The smell of sulfur stimulated everyone's nerves, and terror suddenly struck, enveloping everyone.

The hat man recalled slightly, and then judged the location based on the voice that had just arrived. He looked at the other side of Tulongling, turned his head and called out to three capable men: "You three, follow me to arrest people!" For the rest of you, keep the carriage and wait for me to come back!" ”

After speaking, he ran to Tulong Ridge.

In the small courtyard behind Tulongling, he kept complaining about Shen Wansan: "Three, you have put the cannon steady!" It's crooked, it's a waste of a fireworks! ”

Shen Wansan said aggrievedly: "Big brother, I was obviously steady, but I didn't know that I suddenly went over." ”

He walked to the edge of the bamboo tube and fixed it with a few pieces of adobe: "You should stack it like this, so that the cannon barrel can be fixed!" ”

The hat man led three of his men to find the location of the small courtyard, saw a few dark shadows fiddling with something in the courtyard, and then ran away. In an instant, a flash of fire burst out of the ground, soaring into the sky, exploding in mid-air, blooming with colorful fire!

The four of them were so frightened that they shrank their bodies and hid behind a tree.

"Hahaha, you see, I'm better at making it safe!" In the courtyard, a man clapped his hands and laughed.

The murderous intent appeared in the eyes of the hat man, and he made a gesture to his subordinates: "There is no forgiveness for killing!" ”

The three black shadows were instructed, jumped out of the forest, and rushed into the courtyard with steel knives!
