Chapter 113: Zhihua Temple
After Gu Dayong came back with three catties of gunpowder, Xia Yuan mixed these gunpowder into the gunpowder that had already been divided into half.
Then he picked up the bamboo and compared it roughly, cut five bamboo knots with a firewood knife, sealed the bottom with yellow mud, and then drilled a small hole in it, and then began to fill it with gunpowder.
This link was boring and boring, in short, after a long day, a super cannon battle came into being.
It's big, it's heavy, and the whole cannon is about the same size and thickness as a big hookah, and even thicker.
If this thing exploded, it would kill someone, right?
Xia Yuan felt a little uncertain in his heart, and lengthened the lead a lot, so he felt a little safe.
Zhu Houzhao knocked on the bamboo with his fingers, "Master, such a big cannon battle should be very powerful, right?" β
"Anyway, it's definitely more powerful than the artillery battles you did before."
"That's for sure, I've used at most a whip of gunpowder before, and there are ten catties of gunpowder here."
As he spoke, Zhu Hou changed his words and said with some worries: "But we used gunpowder from the fireworks, and added so much more gunpowder, and master, you also added strange things to it, can this artillery battle really explode?" β
"Your worries are superfluous, if you can't up, you can up later."
"Also, it's not weird, I told you it's my secret recipe."
Xia Yuan's secret recipe is very simple, just two words, sugar.
One sulfur, two nitrate, three charcoal, and then add sugar Big Ivan.
This white sugar can increase the power of gunpowder several times.
Of course, it's no wonder that Zhu Houzhao didn't recognize that it was white sugar, after all, the current Ming Dynasty has not yet studied the process of making white sugar, and some white sugar on the market is imported from Fanbang, and it is not white at all, not so much white sugar, but brown sugar.
However, in the Jiajing period, the Ming Dynasty will appear real white sugar, as white as snow.
As for the white sugar used by Xia Yuan, he made it himself, and the process is very simple, and it can be solved by decolorizing with yellow mud water.
And the price of adding sugar to gunpowder is that Zhao Yuerong is holding the sugar jar and looking distressed.
Xia Yuan walked over and said, "Okay, wait for tomorrow my husband to make you more, do a lot." β
"But I used so much" Zhao Yuerong held the sugar jar in his arms, looked inside, and suddenly felt distressed again, and suddenly lost a lot of sugar.
"Don't hold your jar and look at it, let's go, my husband will take you to set off the artillery battle and enlarge the artillery battle."
"Master, where are we going to set off the artillery battle, can't such a big artillery battle be placed here?"
"You can't be here, find an open and remote place."
At this time, there are gatherings everywhere in Beijing, people come and go, and it is absolutely difficult to find an empty and remote place in the capital where there are no people, so Zhu Houzhao patted his head and led everyone to a temple.
It's just that this temple is different from other temples, it is deserted, the mountain gate is closed, and it looks like it is not open.
Looking at the temple in front of him, Zhu Houzhao squinted his eyes, and his face showed an expression that seemed to be smiling, "Master, let's go, let's go in, and set off artillery battles in here." β
Xia Yuan was shocked, and looked up at the plaque at the entrance of the temple - Bao'en Zhihua Temple.
This is a temple, isn't it?
I've heard of the Sanwu and one sect exterminating the Buddha, and this kid's future temple number is also Ming Wuzong, but is there him in these three martial arts?
Not really.
"Where is this?"
"The plaque reads, repay the favor of Zhihua Temple."
"You have a grudge against the abbot of this temple?"
"Nope."
"That"
Xia Yuan wanted to ask again, but Gu Dayong helped explain: "Master Xia, this is Wang Zhen's family temple, and there is also Wang Zhen's Jingzhong Temple in it. β
"Wang Zhen?"
This person sounded familiar, and soon Xia Yuan thought about it, and asked uncertainly: "You can't be talking about the Wang Zhen of the Civil Fort, right?" β
"Exactly."
After receiving an affirmative answer, Xia Yuan was stunned on the spot, his eyes widened, and his face was incredulous, "There is still a temple for this product?" And there is also the Jingzhong Temple? Who gave him this treatment? The brain has."
Halfway through his words, Gu Dayong hurriedly reached out and covered his mouth, "Oh, my Master Xia, you are really my ancestor, be cautious, be cautious." β
Xia Yuan broke his hand away and slapped it aside, "What am I cautious about, don't you tear down this temple and keep it for the New Year?" β
β.β
Gu Da was silent for two seconds, and walked away silently, it was hard to persuade the damn ghost with good words, anyway, this person didn't listen to persuasion, our family had better stay away from him, so as not to get into trouble.
"Heh" At this time, Zhu Houzhao let out a sneer very abruptly, since just now, the prince has been looking up at the plaque on the temple, and he doesn't know what he is thinking.
At this moment, a sudden sneer attracted Xia Yuan's gaze, and Zhu Houzhao also happened to turn his head to look over.
"What the master said is reasonable, after the palace ascends the throne, he will demolish this temple, and then smash the Jingzhong Temple, so as not to be an eyesore."
Gu Dayong's face became bitter again, and he hurriedly persuaded: "Your Highness, you must not say this, this temple also has the Jingzhong Temple, which was built by the order of the master of the Ying Temple, especially that Jingzhong."
At this time, Xia Yuan suddenly interjected, "Who is the master of the Ying Temple?" β
"Oh, it's the unassuming great-grandfather of the palace, that is, Emperor Yingzong." When he said this, Zhu Houzhao's tone was very calm, but his eyes were full of disgust.
βοΌοΌβ
Xia Yuan was shocked again, "This temple was built by Yingzong?" No, what did he think? Think Wang Zhen didn't hurt him badly enough? β
Yingzong is naturally the god of war of the Ming Dynasty Civil Fort, the famous Wara student, of course, he is not the only emperor who studied abroad, and the Song Dynasty also has such two comics, and the three of them are collectively known as the auspicious three treasures of the study abroad world.
It's just that Xia Yuan really didn't expect that a person could have cerebral palsy to such an extent, who is Wang Zhen?
Picking up the pig and riding the royal drive to conquer in person, the result was that hundreds of thousands of elites of the Ming Dynasty were lost, if it weren't for Yu Qian's efforts to turn the tide, the Ming Dynasty might have died.
And the god of war himself was also taken prisoner and became a student of Warat, and as a result, this product actually built a temple for the enemy and gave the whole Jingzhong Temple.
Especially this Jingzhong Temple, this thing can only be erected when people die, and it is used to worship the dead spirits.
And Wang Zhen died in the Tumubao Change, and later Zhu Qizhen became a prisoner, and after coming back, he was locked up in a small black house for eight years, so naturally he had no chance to build any Jingzhong Temple.
In other words, the construction era of this Jingzhong Temple is after the coup d'Γ©tat, what does this stupid beep think?
Thinking with cerebral palsy is really beyond the reach of mortals.
At this time, the closed door of the temple creaked open, and an emaciated old monk came out with a few monks, and saw so many people standing outside, and he made a Buddha salute with a look of sadness or joy, "A few donors, but come to the temple to worship the Buddha and incense?" β
"If you don't have incense, we're here to set off firecrackers."
The old monk's expression was stunned, and before he could speak, Zhu Houzhao lifted the hem of his robe and stepped into the temple with his feet raised.
More than a dozen guards silently followed, Gu Dayong also followed quickly with a cannon fight, and when he passed by Xia Yuan's side, he paused in his footsteps, and said in a low voice: "Master Xia, go in quickly, let's persuade you again, don't think about this matter anymore, the water is deep here, and it is also taboo." β
