"Salted fish, what salted fish?"

"It's the kind of salted fish that is still salted after turning over."

Guo Youde seemed to react and said with a smile: "Xiaoyou made fun of it, this salted fish is not another salted fish." Immortal Yu, the meaning of immortal jade. ”

"But it sounds like the dead fish that the fisherman hangs on the bow of the boat."

Shao Xi pressed his thumb to his chin, pondering how to clearly distinguish the two words.

"Little friends, don't mess around, this method is the way to spend a lifetime of learning, little friends don't want to lose it."

"Dao Chief, please rest assured, I will devote myself to cultivating this mental method, and I will definitely live up to the Dao Chief's good intentions." As he spoke, Shao Xi took "Xianyu Mental Method" into his arms.

"Right now, the most important thing has been completed, I'll sort it out and go back with you." With that, Guo Youde began to pack up the medicine box.

Shao Xi pointed outside and asked, "Then what about the fire kiln you worked so hard to build this night?" ”

"Put it there, and he won't run away again. When the matter on your side is settled, we will come back together. ”

So Shao Xi stood aside with his shoulders and watched Guo Youde pack his things.

"Dao Chief, I see that you cultivators don't all carry swords and dust in your hands, why don't you have anything?"

Guo Youde said with a smile: "The sword is not necessarily carried on the body, but it may also be held in the hand. ”

"But I haven't seen a sword in the Dao Chief's hand."

"Well, isn't that it?" Guo Youde handed the needle bag in his hand to Shao Xi.

Shao Xi asked puzzledly: "Isn't this a needle bag?" Where's the sword? ”

"My twelve silver needles are my twelve swords, and the name of this sword is December."

"I don't know what kind of swordsmanship the chief uses?"

"I created it myself, and its name is the Twelve Swords; The technique is called the 12th style; The secret of the exercise is called the Twelve Tips. What else do you want to ask? ”

Guo Youde saved trouble, and answered all the questions at one time like pouring beans into a bamboo tube.

"The way the Taoist chooses his name is really unique."

"It's too troublesome, unless it's important, I'll come up with a name."

Shao Xi then asked, "What about the long whisk?" ”

"Those who cultivate the Tao are dusty in their hearts. I'm tired of that thing, but I'm tired of holding it in my hand. ”

"It can be seen that the Taoist chief is an unruly person."

Guo Youde said with emotion: "Life is only a hundred years, there are many important things to do, how can I have time to stick to those red tapes?" ”

Then, Guo Youde asked a little impatiently: "Hey! Are you going or not? I'm still in a hurry to go over for lunch! ”

This sentence amused Shao Xi, and he followed Guo Youde as he walked out and asked, "In the mouth of the Taoist chief, this important thing in life, does having lunch count?" ”

"Count——! Absolutely! Eating is the most important thing. ”

Shao Xi seemed to finally understand why he was called a "beggar" Dao Immortal at this time.

The return trip was much faster than when he came, Shao Xi couldn't imagine that Guo Youde's riding skills were so good, I don't know if it was because Muren was running fast, or if he was in a hurry to go to lunch?

As soon as the few people returned to the tribe, Rising Sun came up and said to Shao Xi, "Child, some of the things you asked us to prepare have already been transported. Also, the shed you want is built over there. ”

Looking in the direction of the Rising Sun, there was a workshop built on the east side of the tribe, which was a little rudimentary, but it was enough.

Shao Xi said to Rising Sun: "Uncle, call all those craftsmen to the shed!" We're ready to get started. ”

Rising Sun agreed, and went to gather people, Shao Xi took Guo Youde and walked towards the shed together.

It's a bit shabby to build, but there's no way around it. The living conditions of the steppe are poor, and there are not so many materials, which is already the extent to which the Ministry of Thoth has done its best to do it.

After Rising Sun summoned the craftsmen, Shao Xi began to divide the labor among them.

Shao Xi knew that it was not enough to make gunpowder, but also to make it explode under controlled conditions. So he plans to do dozens of cannon battles according to the principle of fireworks, and the kind that can be fired, which is somewhat similar to the flying thunder cannons used in our army in the early days.

Shao Xi took out the patterns and arranged the work one by one......

The carpenter is responsible for making large barrels, similar to the size of diesel iron barrels in the modern world, as well as the cushion plates at the bottom of the barrel and the wings inside the barrel for firing propulsion.

The blacksmith is responsible for making the stiffeners that hold the wooden planks on the barrels, the reinforcing bottom plates of the barrels, and the iron cylinders that hold the medicines.

The tanners made standard-sized cowhide pouches for gunpowder, and were also responsible for wrapping the barrels made by the carpenters and blacksmiths with sturdy cowhide inside and out. In addition, Shao Xi also asked them to make a batch of leather ropes of different lengths.

Shao Xi knew in his heart that the things made of these materials were even rougher than the flying thunder cannons back then. But looking at the current conditions, there is no way to have too high a pursuit, just work!

Guo Youde's workshop is a little farther away. After Shao Xi handed over the gunpowder formula and production method to him, he arranged for him to have extra manpower. But before batch preparation, you have to do some experiments with him first.

Guo Youde watched excitedly. Shao Xi used a stone grinding rod to grind saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal into powder, and mixed them in proportion before rolling them, and the whole process was carefully processed.

"Little friend, this seems to be easier than you think."

Shao Xi glanced back at him and said with a smile, "You'll know when you turn around, hand me the water." ”

"You want to add water?"

"Yes, add water."

"Although I don't understand what gunpowder is, I understand the principle of water and fire, since it is gunpowder with water, how can I use it?"

"I didn't say it would work right away."

Shao Xi poured water into the mixed gunpowder powder little by little, and continued his previous movements......

When Shao Xi was satisfied, he said to Guo Youde: "Wait, you can use it when you are done." ”

Guo Youde looked at the gunpowder on the stone grinding disc and asked, "How powerful is this thing?" ”

Shao Xi remembered what he looked like when he first saw him, so he said to him, "Throw these things you see in front of you into your Dan furnace, I guess the two of us won't have much chance to get to know each other." ”

Guo Youde's face turned green with fright, pouting his ass and looking at the pile of black things over and over again.

Shao Xi ignored him, found a piece of rice paper from the side, put the gunpowder powder he had made before on it, and rubbed it repeatedly with his hands until it was rolled into an even paper twist.

"Little friend, what is this?"

"Fuse, go back to that pile of gunpowder."

"Can't you just start it with fire?"

At this time, Shao Xi had a little bad thoughts, and instigated Guo Youde to say: "You can try it when you go back." ”

While waiting for the gunpowder to dry, Shao Xi tried to start cultivating the book "Xianyu Heart Method" given to him by Guo Youde.

Although Shao Xi had practiced the "Meditation Method" before, he had never perceived the existence of the meridians, and when he practiced the "Immortal Yu Mind Method" today, he was surprised to find that he could perceive the existence of two meridians on his body. The starting star positions of the two meridians had been opened, and when he was cultivating, he would feel that there were two forces impacting his meridians through the two open star positions at the same time, and he could even feel the powerful power of these two forces advancing forward after entering the meridians from the starting star position.

Guo Youde watched from the side and nodded with satisfaction, "Xianyu Heart Method" is the most proud achievement of his life.

Generally, people who practice martial arts have to take into account the cultivation of the sea of qi, so the cultivation speed of the meridians will be much slower than that of those who practice grammar, which is why most martial artists are not as successful as literati. And people who have the Wenwu vein usually practice the grammar while practicing the martial arts, so as to increase the cultivation speed of the meridians. His "Immortal Yu Mind Method" is not only much higher than ordinary grammar in terms of cultivation speed, but also can cultivate two meridians at the same time, which will greatly improve Shao Xi's cultivation process. He believed that his little friend would be an extraordinary man in the future.

When Shao Xi finished his cultivation and put away his mind, he saw at a glance that Guo Youde was holding a leg of mutton and gnawing frantically, as if he saw himself on the first day here.

"Your name as a 'beggar immortal' is really worthy of the name."

Guo Youde's mouth was stuffed with mutton at this time, and he said vaguely: "Speaking of beggars, I am really a beggar; Said, I am also cultivating the true way; As for this immortal, it's up to me, but I don't have anything to do. ”

"It's almost time, let's go and see, it's all dry."

The two came to the stone grinding plate, and Guo Youde pouted his ass and looked at the gunpowder in front of him. He asked, "How do I use it?" ”

Shao Xi first used the bamboo tube he found to fill it with gunpowder and fuses, compacted and sealed it, and made a bamboo cannon battle. The remaining gunpowder was put into a porcelain bottle and plugged with a stopper. said to Guo Youde: "Come with me." ”

Coming to a clearing, Shao Xi poured part of the gunpowder from the porcelain bottle onto a stone.

"There's a fire break, right? Try it yourself. ”

Guo Youde squatted in front of the stone, looked at the gunpowder in front of him, and then turned his head to look at Shao Xi.

"Just light it with fire?"

"Don't you want to know? Try it out for yourself. Shao Xi smiled evilly.

Guo Youde took out the fire fold and blew it up, and slowly approached the gunpowder.

With a flash of fire and a pungent smell of green smoke, almost everyone in the tribe heard the scream......

At this time, half of Guo Youde's face was black, and one of his eyebrows was missing; This time there is no beard left; As for the hair, it wasn't much. He still looked at Shao Xi with the panicked, innocent, and sluggish eyes he had at the beginning, and there seemed to be a faint trace of grievance in it.

Shao Xi held back, he really wanted to laugh, but he really didn't dare to laugh. The last time I saw Guo Youde's miserable appearance, it was his own alchemy fryer. But this time, it was because of his own prank.

Guo Youde turned his head and asked Shao Xi with a crying voice: "Little friend, is this what I fried the oven for?" ”

Shao Xi nodded.

"Then why didn't it blow up this time?"

"You want to try?"

"I want to try."

Shao Xi is a black line at the moment. How is it that there are always people who don't understand that curiosity kills cats?

…………

Bang......

"Ah——!h

"Yes!"
