When the people of Buddhism lit the sandalwood inside and outside the temple and sent a large number of trained monks to patiently greet every pilgrim, two girls dressed in mysterious costumes were looking outside the main square of Pingkangfang, and after a little hesitation, they slowly entered one after the other.

I saw the plain-clothed girl walking in front, her face as white as jade, with a hint of a smile, no matter how closely she looked, she couldn't find any small flaws that could destroy her perfection, but the more she looked, the more she felt the dazzling beauty that came out of her indescribable beauty.

"I have heard that Lu Miaozi has the name of the world's first craftsman, and I didn't expect him to be equally good at gardening."

"Although the large square is divided into many parts, and the types of exhibits vary in style, the overall impression is ingenious and harmonious. The flower and plant decorations arranged at the corners alone can be seen, and the scenery is like the finishing touch. ”

Not long after rushing from the vicinity of Dongda Temple to the square of Pingkangfang, Wan Wan restrained her aura of exercises, exuding an ethereal and seemingly non-existent quality around her body, and quietly blended into the crowd, and after observing for a while, she secretly transmitted to her junior sister Bai Qing'er behind her:

"Compared with this 'expo' that is unique and ingenious everywhere, there is nothing new about the Buddhist lecture conference held for this purpose, except that there are four more holy monks in charge and they are more willing to spend money on propaganda than in the past, which is essentially no different from ordinary Dharma affairs."

As she spoke, she looked intently at the two most conspicuous curtains in the distance, five feet long and three feet wide, as if she was attracted by the rapidly changing images on them, and her heart was thoughtful.

"Senior sister, are you saying that Zhao Qing's side, who murdered Shizun a month ago, not only invited Lu Miaozi to come and set up the scene, but also had a higher chance of winning in this competition?"

Bai Qing'er shook the folding fan in her hand, and replied in a somewhat unbelieving tone, her black and shiny hair fell down, lining her beautiful face and skin than snow, and it was also a little as palpitating as Wanwan.

On the whole, this woman's dress is elegant and lovely, giving people a solemn and reserved impression, although it lacks the kind of shocking and thrilling, but it has an approachable and intimate feeling.

Although Wan Wan and Bai Qing'er pretended to be aristocratic ladies who sneaked out of the door, as long as they paid attention to the smooth color of their hair, they knew that her physique was by no means as weak as her appearance, and she had exquisite internal cultivation.

After a period of inquiry, the two of them naturally found out about Zhu Yuyan's death, as well as the news that the Luofu Gambling Hall was razed to the ground, and this area was taken by the new forces and transformed into the square where the expo was held today, and it was speculated that the catastrophe of the Yin Sect was most likely related to Zhao Qing's side that occupied this place.

Some doubts about Zhu Yuyan's relationship with Zhu Yuyan is far deeper than her own, and she actually spoke for the enemy like this, Bai Qing'er was also stunned, thinking that the Yin Sect with only a few people left was indeed hopeless for revenge, sighed lightly, and replied:

"That being said, over the years, how deep the foundation of Buddhism has been, and how willing to give valuable Buddha statues and Buddhist scriptures to the participants, Zhao Qing has just a little more freshness, and can he attract more people by arranging these so-called 'exhibits'?"

"In fact, considering that the exhibits here can be read after a few hours of shopping, and the Buddhist sect does not know that tens of thousands of volumes of scriptures can be spoken for many months, even if the crowd here does not fall behind for the time being, it will not last long, and will still lose to the Buddhist side in the end."

"Senior Sister Qing'er, how do you know that the exhibits here are all that Zhao Qing relied on to win the competition, and not anything else? Will she really be unclear about the advantages and disadvantages of the fair? Wan Wan's eyes changed, and she said lightly:

"The merit of life is nothing more than the establishment of a dynasty and the hegemony of thousands of immortal emperors. And unifying the Demon Dao, fighting for the world, and unifying the ten volumes of the "Heavenly Demon Strategy" has always been the highest ideal of our Holy Gate. ”

"During this period of time, there has been a lot of news: the evil emperor Xiang Yutian only faked his death thirty years ago, and recently reappeared, cured Lu Miaozi's injury, and thus obtained the treasure of Yang Gong's treasury, and declared that he intended to collect the "Heavenly Demon Strategy", unify the demon path, and also planned to change the "demon" to "ink".

"At Zhao Qing's suggestion, Xiang Yutian said that most of the people in the current Demon Gate have done too much evil, and only a very few are qualified to join the new 'Momen', so only young people under the age of twenty are allowed to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and after passing the assessment, they will worship under his disciple, and they will have to pass the 'Holy Emperor Technique' and even the 'Dao Heart Demon Cultivation Dafa'."

"Considering Zhao Qing's martial arts cultivation and overall power above Xiang Yutian, as well as the obvious cooperative relationship between the two sides, this 'Momen' should also be regarded as her subordinate. Then, the achievement that Zhao Qing was about to accomplish was actually equivalent to the realization of the highest ideal of our Holy Gate. ”

"Therefore, in just a few months, it has done a cause that countless outstanding ancestors of the Holy Gate have not been able to complete for thousands of years, how could such a capable person not think that this point would fall behind in the competition with the Buddhist Gate?"

I saw Wan Wan slowly moving forward with the flow of the crowd, looking at the few pottery wheels that can be seen to be improved again and again from left to right, and the words that introduce its development history on the side, thoughtfully, shrugged her shoulders slightly, and seemed to say casually:

"In my opinion, although these exhibits on the square are not full of jewels and rare treasures, the value they have is by no means as simple as making people look at them as novel, but with a heavy historical connotation, which is enough for people who can feel this point to browse several times."

"Not to mention, unlike the four holy monks who showed up early to preach the scriptures, Zhao Qing himself has not yet appeared in public, and it is very likely that in that enclosed area, there are new things that can be more shocking......"

"Having said that, when I was investigating the follow-up of Yang Gong's treasure house, what were you busy with Senior Sister Qing'er? Regarding the recent situation outside Daxing City, is there any new news from Elder Pi and Wei Shibo? ”

Glancing at the few pottery-making wheels that looked a little rough, as well as the few people who stopped by them, Bai Qing'er didn't have any special feelings, but looked sideways from the gap between the crowd and the exhibition tent and noticed two exquisite and complex large bronze casting instruments.

The first is the armillary sphere originally created by Zhang Heng and restored and improved by Lu Miaozi, with many rings such as the ecliptic ring, the horizon ring, the meridian ring, the hexagram, the white channel ring, the inner equatorial ring, and the right ascension ring, constantly rotating and closing, deducing the complex changes of astronomical phenomena;

On the right side of the armillary sphere, there is a similar style of the Seven Political Instruments, driven by the mechanism, with the sun as the center, water, metal, fire, wood, earth, earth and other planets orbiting in an orderly manner, demonstrating the system of celestial movement through another model.

Although she couldn't understand these two complicated instruments at once, Bai Qing'er was still inexplicably attracted by them, so she understood the meaning of Wan Wan's words, and knew that such an exhibit containing amazing wisdom would indeed not get tired of looking at it in a short time, so she pursed her lips and smiled, and replied:

"According to the news that Wei Shibo heard, just five days ago, the 80,000 elite soldiers of Wagang were defeated by Li Jing's army in a battle, and after breaking with the original dragon head Zhai Rang, who advocated surrender, the remaining remnants of the 'Pushan Gong' Li Mi did not last long and suffered a tragic ambush."

"I don't know where Li Jingjun got the steel chariot, it has a speed far beyond the speed of a galloping horse, and it is equipped with a new type of repeater that is much stronger than the eight-bow crossbow machine, and only more than 20 vehicles were dispatched, and all five or six thousand defeated troops such as Li Mi, Wang Bodang, and Zu Junyan were wiped out."

"Li Mi himself also died together? Which Grandmasters did it together? Hearing Bai Qing'er's news, Wan Wan was also a little surprised, as a well-known grandmaster who had killed the "first gunner of our time" Zhang Xutuo, Li Mi's strength has always been considered to be among the top ten in the world.

She knew that after the death of Master Zhu, her cultivation had made a breakthrough due to emotional changes, although she had cultivated to the peak of the seventeenth level of the Heavenly Demon Dafa and had a first glimpse of the eighteenth level, but it was limited to the short time of accumulating power, and most of them were still not this person's opponent.

"It's not that many grandmaster-level powerhouses are besieging together, it's just relying on the power of strong bows and crossbows."

Bai Qing'er explained with a solemn expression: "The heavy arrows fired by hundreds of stone crossbows may be plated with a layer of black steel or even black iron on the surface, and a grandmaster like Li Mi, who specializes in boxing and does not have a very outstanding blade, is afraid that he will be shot on the spot after blocking two or three arrows......

"Is it a weapon that even a Grandmaster-level powerhouse can kill?" Wan Wan's pair of eyes that could seduce the soul lit up with a strange blue light, and she maintained her usual cold and firm words:

"Such a powerful machine should be designed by Lu Miaozi. In this way, the cooperative relationship between him and our Holy Gate Evil Emperor Xiang Yutian and Zhao Qing is much deeper than I originally thought. ”

"Wagang has become a thing of the past, it won't take much time, Anguo's army should enter the Luoyang area, once the defense force is empty of the eastern capital, and then from the waterway Yellow River and the land route Tongyang official road, attack Mianchi, Cijian, Changping, and threaten the Guanzhong area."

"If there is no accident, the rest of the Sui Dynasty should not exceed two or three months, and before the battle between the 'Heavenly Sword' Song Que and the 'Wuzun', the unification of the north and the south can be roughly completed......"

During the period of making these assertions, Wan Wan has been intently observing the exhibits on the field, starting with the polished stone tools and pottery runners, and looking at hoes, shovels, sickles, plows, plows, canoes, mortise and tenon structures, spoke wheels, and metallurgical blower equipment......

She paid attention to the bronze ploughs, bronze mirrors, wheels, pulleys, gears of various shapes, and copper kettles dripping needles not far away.

In comparison, the so-called highest ideals of the Demon Gate seem ethereal and narrow, and it seems that it has become insignificant, and it can no longer arouse the yearning in her heart.

In the farther exhibition area, several wooden kites powered by compressed true qi are flying freely in the air, and sophisticated instruments such as guide cars, Jili drum cars, Zhuge repeaters, and ground motion instruments are placed there, and there are far more crowds of people gathered around than pottery tools.

As far as her eye could see, a gilded bronze pendulum made a ticking sound, several finely carved crystal hanging lamps reflected a brilliant light, and a glass ecological sphere of algae, insects and fish coexisted side by side with a city model of Daxing City......

Feeling the impact of emerging technologies on productivity and social change from the exhibits, Wan Wan's heart suddenly moved, and with some uncertainty she asked Bai Qing'er, who was approaching the armillary sphere:

"There are only four or five people left in our Yin Sect, and it is basically impossible to take revenge with our true strength. It is really not a way to wait in Daxing City until a few months later, when this place also falls into the hands of the enemy. ”

"It just so happens that the two of us meet Xiang Yutian's standard of 'less than twenty years, and have never done evil', so why don't we pretend to worship under his door and use this as a springboard to try to learn Zhao Qing's thoughts and techniques, so as to create powerful mechanical weapons such as steel repeater chariots?"

……

"Being able to understand part of the significance of the exhibits I set up, Wan Wan's qualifications and perception are indeed quite good."

In a basement room a hundred zhang away, Zhao Qing had already seen through the method of resting that the two of them thought was acceptable, and at this time, his mind moved slightly, and he immediately intercepted the content of the transmission between Wan Wan and Bai Qing'er.

At present, she feels that her plan to use the exposition to promote the idea of historical materialism and to find people worthy of cultivation from these viewers is going quite well.

Except for some of the entertainment exhibits that are purely for the purpose of attracting the masses, the remaining various exhibits, although they are arranged separately in more than a dozen areas, all belong to the scope of describing cultural history and scientific history, which is actually a more fundamental civilization background than Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism and other thoughts.

From the Neo-Paleolithic Age, to the Bronze Age, the Iron Age, from the primitive society, to the slave society, the feudal society, the continuous development of production tools and social systems, this process has given birth to countless ideological cultures, brilliant civilization itself.

If we can understand this "historical materialism", we will naturally look at the current society from a different perspective, and our vision is no longer limited to the rise and fall of one sect and one faction, but is on the road of promoting the development of civilization.

In fact, there is a huge difference between the two film projectors that she personally built at the fair, one is completely entertainment, and the other is to further demonstrate the influence of scientific production and civilization, and to screen out talents with training value according to the tendency of tourists to watch.

Zhao Qing gradually gained a deeper understanding of the "relationship between heaven and man", and knew that the so-called "humanity" is not only a variety of political ideas and ideological schools, but also the joys and sorrows experienced by the people in the world, but the most important thing is the incomparably thick history of civilization development itself, which is based on great achievements.

……

Just as Wan Wan guessed, Zhao Qing did not use this expo with limited preparation time as a basis to win the competition, knowing that the preparation of Buddhism was indeed quite sufficient, and she still had to take action herself;

That is, to manipulate a series of equipment in the center of the square, start the steps of refining divine weapons, and by the way, cause an earth-shattering vision, easily suppress hundreds of carts of sandalwood at the Todai Temple to create a Buddha atmosphere.

She deftly opened the various mechanisms in the basement, so that dozens of boxes stacked with materials could be lifted to the ground at any time, and at the same time, she carefully took out twenty crystal balls and a newly-made darkiron giant bow, and walked through the passage to the side of the furnace.

Looking at the dazzling sun in the sky from afar, Zhao Qing calmly accumulated his strength, slowly raising the Gang aura and domain expansion to an unprecedented peak, fusing with the turbulent sword intent to form a huge field that shrouded a radius of several miles.

After more than half a month of savings, she who had cultivated to the Extreme Yin Wuji to surpass Dacheng and Yang Wuji, after thoroughly studying the "Dao Heart Demon Cultivation Dafa" that majored in Zhiyang Wuji, she finally explored the latter's bounds beyond Dacheng, and reached a new height in the total amount of Sun True Fire and Taiyin True Water.

With the convergence and rotation of the Taiyin aura and the sun aura, the primordial spirit was deeply embedded between heaven and earth, and the heaven and earth vitality of the entire Daxing City gradually converged from all directions, forming a large vortex that was spinning faster and faster, as if it had been compressed into Zhao Qing's body without limit.

Since the Gang Qi node of one yuan has been completely condensed, the strength and bearing limit of her body have almost doubled, and through the deep "unity of heaven and man" to gather vitality for a long time, the overall strength has temporarily increased dramatically.

After waiting for two and a half hours in total, after striking the hour hand of the pendulum clock five times in the exhibition area, Zhao Qing seemed to have finally reached his limit, condensed a huge ice arrow covered with heavy qi, raised his bow to the sky and went vertically, and the end of the arrow cluster was dyed with brilliant golden light by the sun near noon.

In the next moment, the bowstring suddenly loosened, and at some point the ice bolt attached to it with a dazzling electric light turned into a vast spiral column of air and soared into the sky, tearing the air along the way in an instant, and spiraling straight up to the sky;

Entwined with flickering electric light, it suddenly exploded at a high altitude beyond the reach of ordinary people's eyes, and the ice completely vaporized, leaving only a column of transparent air that was more than ten miles long and nearly ten zhang thick, and then there was a deafening roar.

Without the slightest hesitation, one after another of the same ice arrows condensed in her hand, and twelve arrows were shot at an incredible high speed, each arrow that was fired tore apart a column of ionized air that was more than ten miles long, greatly reducing the air resistance in the column.

Due to the further progress in cultivation and the improvement of the configuration of bows and arrows, the distance shot by Zhao Qing's arrow can now reach two or three hundred miles on the ground, and the maximum height of the vertical launch into the atmosphere is at the level of one hundred and twenty miles, which is just enough to reach the ionosphere about one hundred and twenty miles above the ground.

However, by forcibly tearing apart the air along the way with a chain of ice arrows, and attaching the thunder ionization air to weaken its resistance, her maximum shot height in the direction of this position after these twelve arrows increased by sixty or seventy miles, and she was already able to enter the thin depths of the ionosphere.

If the arrows are stacked in the same way to increase the ground projectile, because the arrows can fly into the thin upper atmosphere and can use the arc of the earth itself, the maximum range will undergo a qualitative change, reaching a distance of more than 1,000 miles.

……

With the sound of a huge arrow that was spreading at a high speed and would shake a radius of hundreds of miles, Zhao Qing took out a crystal ball at an unimaginable high speed, filled it with dozens of purple light clusters, and in the blink of an eye, a huge ice arrow wrapped in the crystal was condensed, shooting straight out towards the super high altitude.

While the column of air that had been torn and ionized had not yet recovered, she saw that between the phantom flickering of the bowstring, twenty small hydrogen bombs with a yield of about 50,000 tons were instantly launched by her to a height of nearly two hundred miles above the ground;

In a short period of time, when the shock wave did not have time to interfere with the latter, it detonated one after another, turning into twenty blazing white balls of light that were difficult to distinguish on the ground and appeared to overlap together.

Because the air at ultra-high altitude is extremely thin and difficult to form a powerful shock wave, the energy of light radiation generated by the nuclear explosion increases significantly, and the energy converted into the shock wave decreases significantly, and the nuclear fireball will eventually cool down into a cloud of smoke, and there is no dust column connected to the ground, so there will be no mushroom cloud.

At the same time, gamma rays, which are extremely energetic, will impact the surrounding air molecules, ionizing them, and the positive and negative charges will be separated sharply, creating a strong electric field, and the electrons flying away at high speed will produce a strong magnetic field like the current flowing in the wire.

Due to the uneven density of the atmosphere at high altitude, the charge distribution is also asymmetrical, so a violent discharge is generated, which excites the ionosphere above Zhao Qing to an extremely high energy state, with far more energy than normal conditions, and if it is led down by superconducting cables, it can provide energy for her next plans.

In an instant, a huge portal was opened in the sky, and through the broken clouds that were illuminated and turned into hundreds of miles of white, it seemed that the bright starry sky outside the atmosphere could be seen.

At the same time as the nuclear explosion occurred in the sky, she was not surprised to observe that behind the extremely eye-catching Tiangong Giant Cave, two extremely dazzling rays of light suddenly appeared in the area on the north side of the sun.

According to Zhao Qing's astronomical observations during this period, as well as the investigation of astronomical records, natural disasters, and temperature changes in the past 100 years, the last few years should be the peak period of sunspots, and the solar activity is quite violent, and there are often flares erupting;

"Zhou Shu Xuan Emperor Ji" records that 36 years ago, "the elephant of Emperor Xuan of the Northern Zhou Dynasty was not in February in the first year, the sun rose and will enter the time, and there is black color, as big as a chicken egg, and it will be extinguished in four days", which is basically in line with the average sunspot cycle of 11.2 years.

Generally speaking, too strong or too weak solar activity will have a huge impact on the earth's climate, with a large number of geomagnetic disturbances and frequent natural disasters, which will lead to the demise of feudal dynasties, such as the end of the Xiaoice Age.

At this moment, the local brightness of the sun has increased more than ten times, and it has lasted for about dozens of breaths, and it is a flare explosion, the power of which is mainly concentrated in the invisible short-wave radiation and radio bands, emitting various high-energy particles, which are superimposed with the power of a nuclear explosion.

In an instant, billions of colorful vortices rolled up in the ionosphere, and countless filament-like silver light radiated from the pure white holes, as if pouring out a dazzling galaxy, and like a large piece of upside-down ceilingpox treasure cover, hanging down millions of dazzling tassels;

The original blue sky scene has changed dramatically, and the dazzling and infinitely changing aurora stretches for tens of thousands of miles in the sky, until the end of the line of sight, faintly connected to the geomagnetic North Pole, covering almost the entire territory of Asia.

Since Zhao Qing planned to obtain energy from the ionosphere, in addition to continuously detonating nuclear bombs at high altitudes, he naturally also took into account another energy source, that is, the sun itself, and predicted a violent flare explosion 300 million miles away in advance, so as to make full use of the effect of these two to disturb the ionosphere and generate a huge amount of current.

Solar flares, which belong to the time of day; Detonating a nuclear bomb is creating geographical advantages; As for Renhe, of course, she also has full confidence in herself.
