Chapter 322: Four Great Inventions: Papermaking, Compass......
"What? Tian Mi was killed by Katsuchi? ”
"Tian Meng is also dead?"
The news spread like wings, causing a huge sensation in the entire farmhouse and even the entire rivers and lakes.
However, this is just the beginning.
On the same day, Tian Hu, who had fled from the farmhouse, was sent back to Lieshan Hall.
But it was a dead body that was sent back.
Zhu Zhong is the same, his head is separated.
For three days in a row, none of the people who were on the list of the Heavenly Dao were spared.
His henchmen were in constant fear, either confessing their guilt voluntarily or dying......
The once invincible snare has become a rat crossing the street in an instant, not only is the Heavenly Dao chasing and killing, but all factions in the rivers and lakes are also carrying out a large-scale purge and hunting operation.
For a time, the rivers and lakes fell into a bloody storm......
Regarding this turmoil in the rivers and lakes, the Great Qin side behaved quite calmly, with a posture of watching from the wall.
For the First Emperor, he wished that the various factions in the rivers and lakes would fight as hard as possible, so as to fundamentally weaken the power of the rivers and lakes and be conducive to the development of the Great Qin Dynasty.
In fact, from another point of view, this time the purge of the rivers and lakes is not a good thing.
Just like a field overgrown with weeds and pests, this cleaning is equivalent to a process of eradicating weeds and pests.
Although it will affect some innocent people, in the end, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages, and the purpose is to eliminate the chaff.
For example, the invincible snare and several notorious killer organizations in the rivers and lakes disappeared in this purge.
The hundreds of schools of thought also experienced a baptism of blood and fire in this turmoil.
Some of them quit gloomily, some of them were wise to protect themselves, and some of them took advantage of the situation......
Lishan.
The general altar of the Yin and Yang family.
The Eastern Emperor sat cross-legged in the Taiyi Palace, seemingly meditating, but in fact his mind was chaotic.
All along, this guy always likes to pretend to be mysterious, and he looks like he is in control of the world.
But now, he suddenly found that no matter how he deduced, the overall situation of the world and even the future of the Yin and Yang family were like a fog, which made him feel quite uneasy.
So much had happened in the last few months, and every single one of them was out of his control.
The death of Zhao Gao, the mysterious disappearance of the star soul, the collapse of the net, the decline of the farmer, the unification of Taoism, and the no longer distinguish between the Heavenly Sect and the Human Sect...... In short, the pattern of rivers and lakes has changed dramatically.
None of this is within his scope of deduction.
For his own deduction skills, Donghuang has always been quite confident.
The reason why the situation has not developed according to his deduction is that there are masters who are quietly changing the pattern of the world.
In the world, there are still such masters?
Who will it be?
The Eastern Emperor worked hard to deduce repeatedly, but found nothing.
How could he have expected that someone who should not belong in this world would come to this world?
This world, because of Gu Ming's arrival, has undergone irreversible and subtle changes.
"Your Excellency the Eastern Emperor, the Great Secretary asks for a meeting!"
One of his men went to the door of the temple and made a shout.
Donghuang frowned: "Well, why did she come back?" Let her in! ”
"Yes!"
Not long after, the chief priest walked into the hall and bowed from afar: "See Your Excellency the Eastern Emperor." ”
"What are you doing when you come back?"
"My subordinates have important matters to report to His Excellency the Eastern Emperor."
"What's the matter?"
"Someone wants to see His Excellency the Eastern Emperor."
"Who?"
"Me!"
In the hall, another male voice suddenly sounded.
Donghuang's face changed in shock, and he subconsciously looked around, and shouted at the same time: "Who? ”
The voice still echoed in the hall, and a figure appeared out of thin air.
This person is Gu Ming.
It's been so long, it's time to deal with this Donghuang guy.
And at this time, Donghuang's mood can be described as turbulent.
He never dreamed that there would be someone in the world who would hide his perception and appear in front of him quietly.
Then you can only strike first.
The Yin Yin family only knew that the strength of the Eastern Emperor was unfathomable, but even the Great Si Ming had never seen him take action in person.
This time, I finally had a chance to see it.
The Eastern Emperor was afraid, and naturally wanted to kill with one blow, so if he didn't make a move, it would be a big move: the Soul Eater Curse!
The Soul Eater Spell belongs to the most powerful of the Yin and Yang Family's "Eight Yin Pulse Spells", as the name suggests, once cast, it can have the effect of devouring the opponent's soul.
Back then, the Yin and Yang Family's Eight Mantras of Yin and Yang aroused the public anger of the people in the rivers and lakes because they were too vicious and evil, including Taoists, who once wanted to clean up the portal......
After all, although the Yin and Yang family is a family of its own, it still goes out from Taoism after all.
In order to protect themselves, the Yin and Yang family finally compromised and made the Eight Mantras of the Yin Vein a forbidden technique and forbade their disciples to practice.
However, because of its powerful power, there are still disciples who practice secretly in private.
Donghuang is one of them, because of his outstanding talent, he has cultivated three of the eight mantras.
The Great Priest also cultivated one of them: the Six Souls Fear Curse.
However, since he surrendered to Gu Ming, he no longer used this trick.
"Soul Eater? Childe be careful! ”
As soon as he saw the Eastern Emperor's move, Da Si Ming's face couldn't help but change in shock, and he subconsciously shouted.
"Slut, you really betrayed the emperor, and when this person is solved, the emperor will make your life worse than death!"
The Eastern Emperor's vicious voice echoed in the main hall.
"Is this a good move?"
Unexpectedly, Gu Ming actually stood in place with a calm and breezy demeanor, and replied with a mocking expression.
However, at this time, his body was already shrouded in a layer of golden light, and the four big characters "benevolence", "etiquette", "wisdom" and "righteousness" were suspended around his side.
"How is that possible?"
The Soul Eater Curse, which was regarded as the strongest form, actually did not have any effect, and the Eastern Emperor couldn't help but exclaim.
"What else would you order besides pretending to be a ghost? You might as well show them one by one and let my son see it. ”
As soon as the Eastern Emperor gritted his teeth, the strength of his whole body surged, his hands were sealed, and a large cloud of mist like a peach blossom miasma gushed out, instantly enveloping Gu Ming.
This move is still one of the eight spells of the Yin Vein, called the "Sleeping Curse Seal", and its power is second only to the Soul Devouring Curse.
Once hit, it will fall into a dormant state, and its vitality will slowly drain away, and it will not take a pillar of incense to turn into a puddle of pus and blood.
"Well, it seems that you have this kind of ability."
In the smoke, there was a sigh from Gu Ming.
Then, the clouds suddenly rolled back.
Donghuang was startled, and his figure hurriedly dodged.
Although it was a spell he cast himself, he wouldn't be able to feel good if he was really attacked by power.
"Want to run? Did you run? ”
With Gu Ming's voice, a huge palm shadow suddenly appeared in the void.
On the same day, the Eastern Emperor was shot short, and his legs fell into the stone slabs laid in the main hall.
In his mouth, a large mouthful of blood also spit out.
"Boom!"
Then, another palm slapped it, making Donghuang dizzy.
"It's not good, someone is attacking His Excellency the Eastern Emperor!"
When the people outside heard the movement, they couldn't help but take a look, and immediately their faces changed in shock and they screamed.
For a while, many disciples flocked to the main hall......
"I'll leave it to you!"
Gu Ming kicked the Eastern Emperor in front of Da Si Ming, and then his figure flashed and stopped at the door of the main hall.
"Slut, you ......"
"Bang!"
Da Si Ming raised his leg and stepped on it, directly stepping on the Eastern Emperor under his feet.
"Your dream, it's time to end!"
The Great Si Ming said coldly, and then stepped down one foot after another......
In the past, she was confused by the Eastern Emperor, and she was naturally loyal.
Now that he has lost his way, he is naturally full of hatred for the Eastern Emperor in his heart, and he is ruthless one after another, and he tramples the Eastern Emperor into a human shape......
"The earth shakes!"
At the same time, in the face of the Yin and Yang family disciples who were pouring in like a tide, Gu Ming adopted the method of group attack and directly used the technique of controlling the soil.
In an instant, it was as if the sky was falling apart, the houses were collapsing, the ground was cracking, and boulders were falling like raindrops......
In less than a pillar of incense, the main altar of the Yin and Yang family was destroyed.
The movement was so great that even the capital was shaken, causing a panic......
……
Songhai.
Not far from the small sage village, there is a house covering an area of several acres.
This courtyard has become a gathering point of the Heavenly Dao, and it is also the temporary residence of Master Ban, Wei Zhuang, Jing Tianming and other personnel.
In the past, because they had to avoid the pursuit of the Qin army, a group of people had to hide in Tibet.
Now, because of Gu Ming's relationship, this situation has changed greatly.
Therefore, the group no longer has to hide in the suburbs, but moves into this compound to seek future development.
"Ladies and gentlemen, according to Yingzheng's current itinerary, it is estimated that he will arrive in Songhai in less than a month."
In the courtyard, Gu Ming sat at the stone table and smiled at the crowd.
"Oh? So the mirage is about to set sail? ”
"That's right, the ultimate purpose of Ying Zheng's eastern tour this time is to come to Songhai to preside over the mirage sailing ceremony, hoping to return smoothly and bring back the elixir of immortality for him."
"Great, I'm going to get on the boat too, I'm going to save Gao Yue!"
Jing Tianming said expectantly.
Actually, how can Gao Yue save him?
The Eastern Emperor and the Star Soul are dead, and the only one who can control Gao Yue in the Yin and Yang Family is the Moon God.
However, the Moon God has been completely tamed by Gu Ming, how can it be unfavorable to Gao Yue?
It's just that at present, she still has to cooperate with acting, and she can't show her feet in front of Yun Zhongjun and Gong's revenge.
After all, this time to go to sea, Yun Zhongjun and Gong Lost Hatred are the two most important people in Yingzheng, and both of them are indispensable.
Once one of the two has an accident, then Yingzheng will inevitably abort this mirage plan.
Therefore, the moon god, the big priest, and the young priest must stay on the ship to cooperate with the action, and at the same time secretly convey the news from all sides.
For example, the layout and mechanism of the mirage have almost been mastered by Master Ban.
At the same time, through the study of these few months, Gu Ming also has a relatively comprehensive grasp of the mechanism skills of the Mo family and even the public losers.
At present, he can already make some relatively complex traps independently, such as flying trap birds.
In return, Gu Ming also generously provided some advanced ideas with Master Ban, Zhang Liang and others......
For example, the compass.
In fact, there is a compass in this world, but it is not called a compass, but it is called Sinan.
It is made by carving a spoon-shaped object out of natural magnetite ore and placing it on a smooth plate with directions engraved on it, using the action of a magnet guide to discern the direction.
However, Sinan is large and needs to be sitting.
The compass is much smaller and can be carried around and used to orient itself at any time.
In addition, there is papermaking, gunpowder, printing......
To put it simply, it is the four great inventions.
In fact, if Gu Ming was asked to do these things by himself, he would definitely not be able to do them.
But the problem is that he knows some of the principles, recipes, and production processes.
For example, in papermaking, Gu Ming roughly knows some principles and processes, first crushing bark, hemp, bamboo and other things, washing off the mud and dust, soaking them in lime water, and then steaming and pulping......
The focus is on beating.
When the pulp solidifies, it becomes paper.
The specific ratio should be steamed to what heat...... These Gu Ming don't know.
Gunpowder is the same, Gu Ming roughly knows that the main formula is sulfur, nitrate, carbon powder, etc., and the specific ratio is unknown.
But it doesn't matter, it's like writing an article, he has already listed an idea and outline, and handed it over to a professional to perfect.
For Gu Ming, this is nothing more than a little knowledge of the previous life, but for the current world, the significance is extraordinary.
It is no exaggeration to say that it has invisibly promoted the course of history for hundreds of years.
Once Confucianism and Mohist mastered the techniques of papermaking, printing, gunpowder, etc., it was difficult not to carry them forward.
After all, these technologies are going to change the world.
Especially in papermaking, most of the books are written in bamboo slips, which are cumbersome and difficult to keep.
If you write on silk, the cost is obviously too high and it is impossible to popularize it.
Once the art of papermaking matures and large quantities of paper begin to hit the market, it can completely change the status quo.
For these so-called "small ideas" provided by Gu Ming, Master Ban, Zhang Liang, Fu Nian, including Xunzi and others can be said to have fallen into a huge shock, excitement, and surprise.
To this end, Xiao Shengxian Zhuang joined forces with the Mo family, and each selected some disciples to form a research and development team, and began to conquer the compass and papermaking.
In terms of gunpowder, some Taoist disciples who are good at alchemy were found......
As for printing...... We'll have to wait until the paper is successfully manufactured.
After all, the development of printing technology is still based on the popularization of paper.
"Little guy, this time you are not going to sea for fun, maybe you will encounter huge monsters, aren't you afraid?"
Gu Ming smiled and stepped forward and patted Jing Tianming's head.
This has to be replaced by someone else to call the little guy, Jing Tianming is not allowed to follow, but he is also a giant of the Mo family?
It's just that he doesn't have a temper at all in front of Gu Ming.
"Monsters?" Jing Tianming blinked, a hint of panic flashing through his eyes......
But then he put on a manly attitude and patted his chest and said: "Don't be afraid, I've grown up, and besides, I have to go on the boat to save Gao Yue." ”
Regarding Gao Yue's matter, everyone didn't tell Jing Tianming about it, for fear that this guy would be proud of it for a while.
Therefore, Jing Tianming was still stupid to think that Gao Yue was still in danger.
After Gu Ming's efforts, both the general trend of the world and the pattern of rivers and lakes are beneficial to everyone.
At least, Gu Ming has invisibly reversed the matter of burning books and pit Confucianism.
Importantly, Fusu's philosophy and personality have been recognized by Confucianism and Mohists.
Therefore, their concept also took a turn and decided to keep the light and secretly support Fusu, so that Fusu could smoothly ascend to the throne.
Only in this way can we avoid the world from falling into multinational wars again.
Moreover, Gu Ming once summoned a group of people to enlighten, saying that no matter what nationality everyone was from before, in the final analysis, they all belong to the descendants of Yan and Huang, and the unification of the world is an inevitable process of historical development.
The words are well-founded, plus ...... The effect of exporting into a chapter is naturally convincing to everyone.
All in all, once Fusu inherits the unification, then the pattern of the world in the future will appear an unprecedented prosperous situation.
In this regard, everyone is full of longing and yearning.
Confucianism, in particular, is hopeful...... After all, Gu Ming is a disciple of Confucianism, so why do you have to seek more benefits for Confucianism, right?
Time passes slowly......
Finally, the day came.
That day was the most lively day in Songhai's history.
The people of the city put up lanterns to welcome the arrival of the First Emperor.
However, for the sake of safety, not all people are lucky enough to see the sky, and the vast majority of people can only hide in their homes and sneak a peek through the cracks in the doors and windows.
Tens of thousands of Qin soldiers lined up in the city, including some rooftops, and experts were also sent to guard in case someone took this opportunity to assassinate.
Everything is as it should be.
After the first emperor arrived in Songhai, he first stayed and rested in Haiyue Xiaozhu.
On the second day, I met with local officials and some local celebrities...... Xunzi, Fu Nian and others all received orders to go to Haiyue Xiaozhumian Saint.
On the third day, a grand festival is held, as well as a mirage opening ceremony.
This time the mirage went to sea, Ying Zheng will not go with the ship, after all, he has to guard the country, the important thing is that no one can say whether this voyage will return smoothly, how could he take this risk?
However, he sent several princes with the ship, one of whom was Hu Hai.
These princes were all close to Zhao Gao before.
Since Ying Zheng killed Zhao Gao, he will naturally secretly clean up, but all the courtiers who are close to Zhao Gao will find excuses to kill, degrade, and close.
And these princes were relatively close to Zhao Gao before, so Ying Zheng deliberately let these princes go into the sea to help find the elixir of immortality.
At the same time, he secretly sent some shadow guards to monitor the words and deeds of these princes, and their every move.
If it is found to have a different heart...... So he looked for an opportunity to get rid of it on the way.
Born in the emperor's family, you must be psychologically prepared for father and son and fratricide.
When the tedious ceremony finally ended, the mirage, this huge ship, finally set sail slowly in the eager eyes of the First Emperor.
In addition to more than 1,000 boys and girls on the ship, there are also hundreds of elite Great Qin soldiers responsible for security protection.
As for Yun Zhongjun and Gong losing their hatred...... The mentality of the two has changed subtly.
Zhao Gao, Star Soul, and Donghuang died one after another, the net was destroyed, and the farmhouse declined...... Whether it is the court or the rivers and lakes, the pattern has undergone a lot of changes.
The two of them were in constant fear, afraid that the shadow of death would loom over their heads.
The mirage has become their only shelter, after all, there are many masters on the ship, many Qin soldiers to guard, and countless organs that the public is proud of.
The two didn't dare to get off the ship at all, and only looked forward to setting sail as soon as possible.
In their minds, they will be safe when they go to sea, and they have a better chance of finding the legendary fairy island.
I have been looking forward to this day......
In the main control room, Gong Loser controls various mechanisms, correcting the course of the mirage while speeding it up.
This giant ship can be said to have exhausted his life's work, and it is the culmination of the public loser's tricks.
It looks so huge, but the speed is not slow at all, and it can sail seven or eight hundred miles a day.
The whole ship is like a small town, with complete functional facilities, including pavilions, gardens, alchemy rooms, practice rooms, secret rooms, halls, kitchens, large and small meeting halls, and so on.
At the same time, there are many mechanisms on the ship, if someone sneaks on the boat and breaks in, once the mechanism is touched, they will either be trapped or killed by the mechanism.
And there's also a mechanism to deal with sea beasts.
For example, in the deep sea, no one can tell what kind of monsters they will encounter, or pirates or the like.
Therefore, the revenge of the public has also designed powerful mechanisms to deal with foreign enemies.
In front of the First Emperor, Gong Chuan once boasted of Haikou, saying that the mirage is a mountain that moves in the sea and will never sink.
Of course, in terms of the size of the mirage itself, it can fully withstand the wind and waves.
Even if you encounter some legendary sea monsters, the huge, solid hull can withstand the impact, and it is also protected by mechanisms.
When the mirage set sail, Master Ban and his party did not dive onto the ship in advance to prevent them from being discovered by the other party.
Gu Ming was the only one who sneaked onto the boat.
After sailing for about an hour, Gu Ming finally started to move.
First, he infiltrated a secret cell on the ship and rescued Concubine Yan, who was detained by the Eastern Emperor.
What trapped Concubine Yan was the 10,000-year-old Xuanbing Array that the Eastern Emperor was proud of and thought that no one in the world could break.
Outcome...... But Gu Ming cracked it effortlessly, and by the way, he also laughed at the 10,000-year-old Xuanbing used in the array......
