Chapter Fifty-Six: Eight Buckets of Talent

Zhang Tianshi frowned, looked at Xiao Feng, hesitated for a moment, but still took two steps forward, Xiao Feng also walked forward to Zhang Tianshi's side, and whispered softly in his ear.

"This thunder is a good thing, and now the Shenji Battalion can't make such a good thing. That palm thunder is a big firecracker that can explode when thrown out, and it can kill the pig dragon, and the power is not small. ”

Xiao Feng is telling the truth, the pinnacle of Daming's firearms is the three-eyed firearm and red-coated cannon developed by the Shenji Battalion now, but they can only be used in large-scale wars. This kind of hand-thrown explosive firearm, similar to the grenades of later generations, is indeed very advanced.

He estimated that Longhu Mountain's research on gunpowder must be the top of the Ming Dynasty in this era. If this gunpowder is used in today's guns, it will definitely be much more powerful. It's a pity that the Ming Dynasty didn't use this kind of firearm until the war of the country, is it because Longhushan has scruples and doesn't dare to let the court know this secret?

Zhang Tianshi's face changed suddenly, and he grabbed Xiao Feng's sleeve, for fear that his mouth would be far away from his ears. It's not that he can't hear clearly, and although he is not young, his ears are very good. He was afraid that others would hear him.

But he calmed down instantly, could it be that Xiao Feng was cheating on himself? After all, the thunderbolt is suspected of being gunpowder, and it has been done before, but it has never been cracked. His face returned to normal, and he even smiled: "What did Xiao Zhenren say?" Poor Dao doesn't understand. ”

Xiao Feng said appreciatively: "You must have a catapult device, which can catapult a big firecracker to a very high position and explode, but the catapult device will definitely not be operated by you, and your burning charm is the signal." No matter how strong the ejection device was, it couldn't bounce to such a high position above the main hall outside the Temple of Heaven. Your disciple should be hiding in the crowd outside the hall in civilian clothes, and if I let Yu Dayou go around for a while, he may not be able to catch him. ”

Zhang Tianshi's face collapsed, and he whispered: "There is smoke from the burning of gunpowder, how can you hide it, Xiao Zhenren misunderstood." ”

Xiao Feng nodded and said: "So I admire you very much, this kind of gunpowder with a small size and huge sound can do very little smoke, it is not just one sulfur, two nitrate and three charcoal, it is mixed with other things." This gunpowder is more powerful than ordinary black-gunpowder, so if I tell Banzai, he might be interested. ”

Zhang Tianshi shuddered, and hurriedly said: "Xiao Zhenren is clever, and he still hopes to raise his noble hand." Of course he didn't dare to let Jiajing investigate, if Jiajing really found out, not to mention anything else, there was a better gunpowder formula than now, but he secretly hid it and didn't hand it over to the imperial court, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was plotting rebellion!

Even if Jiajing Chongdao will not destroy Longhu Mountain, at least he, Zhang Tianshi, will be a scapegoat and replaced.

Xiao Feng smiled and said: "I don't want to hurt you either, in this way, what I say in a while, you cooperate with it, don't worry, I will definitely not let you suffer!" ”

Zhang Tianshi's meat was on the chopping board at this time, and he didn't dare to pull it hard, it was worth keeping a smile on his face, and he nodded again and again. The two didn't communicate for a long time, they were all smiling, and the onlookers couldn't hear what they were saying, they just thought that the two were talking about the art of talismans, and they looked very speculative.

Jiajing couldn't hear it, and couldn't help but be a little dissatisfied. But when it comes to Taoism, naturally there are some secrets that are inconvenient to publicize, and he can't forcibly interfere. Fortunately, the two of them only said a few words, and then they returned to their respective places.

Xiao Feng said loudly: "If there is any sect I am closest to in the Dao Sect, it must be the Fu Zheng Sect. As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar.

The Daomen are divided into sects, which is a matter of course. Although they are all the same faith, each school has different interpretations of the scriptures that have been handed down, and different views on the way of monasticism, so it is natural that they are divided into various sects.

But I have never heard of which sect has a good relationship with which sect, or which two sects do not deal with each other. The Daomen are empty and quiet, each cultivating his own, thinking that he is right and will not say that others are wrong. Even the most domineering martial cultivators will not force others to say that martial arts training is good.

Jiajing was also very strange, and glanced at Lu Bing, Lu Bing shook his head and said: "Longhushan and Xiao Feng have no contact in private, and the minister dares to guarantee it." Jiajing nodded, he originally thought that Xiao Feng had a private connection with Zhang Tianshi, if so, at least he could guarantee an undefeated game, plus insurance.

Jiajing is very familiar with this kind of power trick, and he won't feel wrong. But if that's the case, his impression of Xiao Fengxian's disciples will inevitably be a little more worldly. At this time, listening to Lu Bing's words, knowing that Xiao Feng was still relying on his ability, he was a little happy in his heart after all, and couldn't help but show a smile.

Zhang Tianshi didn't know why, but his first task at the moment was to cooperate with Xiao Feng to act, no matter what Xiao Feng said, he had to be a good man, so he smiled: "Xiao Zhenren values Fu Zhengzong, and he is happy to be poor, but I don't know why?" ”

Xiao Feng didn't talk nonsense, when Zhang Tianshi was performing technical activities, a page from the "Cangjie Heavenly Book" flashed in his mind, and he usually didn't pay attention to the words on it. The contents of the Book of Heaven are vast, and although the entire book is imprinted in his mind, many of the contents will only automatically emerge and be realized by him when he needs to use them.

"Do you know where the term 'talent is high' came from?" Xiao Feng smiled and glanced at everyone in the hall.

Whether it is the people in the Taoist sect or the crowd outside the hall, they are all a little dazed, people usually say this word, they are very familiar with it, but few people have thought about this problem.

However, there was no shortage of scholars among the onlookers, and one person said loudly: "This classic comes from the Southern Dynasty poet Xie Lingyun, who once praised Cao Zhi and Cao Zijian during the Three Kingdoms period, 'There is only one stone in the world, Cao Zijian has eight buckets, I have one bucket, and one bucket has been shared since ancient times and today." It is not only to praise Cao Zhi, but also to praise himself. In fact, although Xie Lingyun is naturally civilized, he can't afford to say this kind of nonsense. ”

Xiao Feng looked into the crowd and saw that the person who spoke was actually Zhang Juzheng, and couldn't help but smile and beckoned to him: "What Taiyue said is not bad, but I only know one thing, I don't know the other." Xie Lingyun is just a former person, do you know? ”

Zhang Juzheng was stunned, he only knew the origin of this idiom, but he didn't know that there was an earlier source. At the moment, he arched his hand and said: "I am lonely and unheard of, and I also ask Xiao Gongzi for advice." As a leader among scholars, he has always respected the Daomen, and although he looks at Xiao Feng differently, he still does not want to be called by his real name.

Xiao Feng Zhengse said: "It is recorded in the "Cangjie Book of Heaven" that in ancient times, people were ignorant and occasionally enlightened, but because there was no written record, they also disappeared in an instant. Although there are many people, there is no word to understand, and it is difficult to work together. Therefore, Cangjie made words, the sky rained, and the ghosts cried at night. With each word, the corn falls on the roof, and the ghost cries from the feet. Corn is a bribe, and ghost crying is a threat.

When the Cangjie Immortal Master made the words to the dawn, there were more than 100,000 words, the corn had fallen a stone, and the ghost cry was already deafening. The hut was about to be crushed by corn, and the ghost was almost distracted by crying. Cangjie Immortal Master knew that he could no longer force it, so he broke the knife and pen and stopped making new words. And the heavens will no longer let down corn, and the demons will no longer cry.

These more than 100,000 words are the agreement reached by heaven, earth, and man, and since then, man is no longer under heaven and earth, but on an equal footing. Standing between heaven and earth! ”

Everyone had never heard of such a reason, and they only felt that their hearts were shaken, as if they had witnessed the fierce struggle of that night, and witnessed the struggle of the spirit of all things unwilling to be suppressed by heaven and earth. Jiajing couldn't help but clench his fists in the Caiwan Essence House and looked at Xiao Feng with wide eyes.

It took a long time for Zhang Juzheng to come back to his senses from the shock: "I just don't know, what does this have to do with Cai Gao Badou?" Everyone's eyes turned to Xiao Feng, with an expression of "asking the same question" on his face.

"The more than 100,000 words, Cangjie Immortal Master divided it into two parts, one is eighty percent, which is the text that the world's scholars have learned now; The other copy was only twenty percent, and the Cangjie Immortal Master kept it as a symbol.

The text contains the aura of heaven, earth and man, which is self-contained, which can support the needs of civilization in the world, and allow people to develop and progress and move forward. However, the popularity is eliminated in the runes, and only the qi of heaven and earth is left, so the ghosts and gods do not avoid it, and they can directly communicate with the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth.

Because the text only accounts for eighty percent of the characters made by the Cangjie Immortal Master, it corresponds to a stone of corn descended from heaven, that is, eight buckets of corn. When Lao Tzu did not attain enlightenment, he already knew about it. When Confucius consulted Lao Tzu about this, he also asked about it. Therefore, Confucius said that no matter how talented a scholar is, there are only eight buckets, and those two buckets remain in Taoism. ”

Everyone sighed, only Zhang Tianshi jumped up excitedly, his face was flushed, and his beard trembled and looked at Xiao Feng: "Could it be that this is the origin of my Taoist Fu Zong?" Our Fu Zheng Sect is indeed the earliest sect of Taoism! ”

Xiao Feng smiled faintly: "So I said that I am in the Dao Sect, and the closest sect is the Fu Sect, because I am a personal disciple of the Cangjie Immortal Master." ”
