Mu Tianming was making pre-war preparations.

The weapon was a Tang knife forged from Damascus steel.

In the carry-on space, although there was a black knife called [Seven Steps into Poetry], which exploded from the wolf's cave, the knife was cold and piercing in his hand, and he couldn't hold it at all. Instead, it is necessary to carve a hundred poems on the blade of the knife to activate the special effect of "Seven Steps to Poetry", which cannot be done at all. The small blade of the knife may not be able to carve twenty poems, let alone a hundred, if the most skilled carvers come.

So the black knife is not used for the time being.

The armor did not use the iron armor or chain mail of this world, because a set of iron armor weighed dozens of pounds, and it was inconvenient to put it on.

There is a Level IIIA Kevlar composite body armor in the carry-on space, which can protect against stabs and arrows. This kind of body armor weighs only five pounds, and wearing it inside the coat does not affect the body movement at all.

This body armor is divided into three parts: vest, arm guards and leg guards.

Mu Tianming wore these inside his clothes, and he couldn't see them from the outside.

Of course, these body armor can only prevent ordinary soldiers on the battlefield from slashing, and they will definitely not be able to prevent the masters. Moreover, the fact that he can defend against arrows, Mu Tianming has doubts. The barbarian longbow is strong and penetrating, and within the range, it may not be able to penetrate the body armor.

To be on the safe side, another layer of cowhide armor was worn inside.

The boots are worn in cowhide combat boots, which are common on the battlefield here.

The outermost layer of clothing on the body is a black night coat, which is also the usual dress of people in the rivers and lakes.

After the equipment was completed, Mu Tianming went out and went to the market to inquire about the price of war horses.

Fifteen taels, thirty taels, and forty taels.

This price is not cheap, because the soldiers of the city defense army who fight on the front line have an annual salary of fifty taels of silver. Although the fixed salary is not very high, the commission is high. For example, the law of the dynasty stipulates, "The soldiers and civilians of our dynasty will be rewarded with 5,000 yuan for those who are born in the enemy country, and 3,000 for the head; Wait for 10,000 at once, 7,000 in the middle, and 5,000 in the next. ”

The five thousand refer to the copper coins, which are five taels of silver, and three thousand are three taels of silver.

After a big battle, the head of the barbarian can be paid a lot of money when he comes back.

In addition to the fixed silver, it also includes one stone and seven buckets to two stones of monthly grain, and the number of silk, cotton, and cloth for spring and winter clothes is also different.

It can be said that the Dali Dynasty was not stingy in terms of military salaries. This was also due to the fact that the dynasty had a vast territory, abundant materials, and developed commerce in the south.

After comparison, he bought a Persian war horse of two hundred taels. The owner of the horse shop said that this is the best horse bred by the Persian and Altekin war horses, easy to ride, endurance is sufficient, strong when sprinting, smooth and supple fur, beautiful, good in shape, and good in sound.

When Mu Tianming listened to the boss talk about these advantages, he felt that he could match Zhang Wan last night.

This jujube-red Persian war horse, Mu Tianming also liked it at a glance and paid for it.

After the sword, armor, and war horse were all matched, it was still early at noon.

Mu Tianming returned to his home study and read the "Secret Book of Puppets of the Organ" for a while, and gradually understood the mystery of this ancient book.

Basically understand the production process of the puppet.

First of all, you need to make a "warehouse", carve runes into the "warehouse", and the skeleton of the puppet is also carved with runes, then use the skeleton to assemble a human shape, put "energy crystals" in the chest cavity, and then put the skeleton and filling into the "warehouse" to start the final "assembly".

The "assembly" is complete, and the "warehouse" is opened, and a humanoid puppet will come out.

These puppets can be divided into several classes depending on the secret text. At present, Mu Tianming only understands that there are three kinds of "construction puppets", "combat puppets" and "life puppets".

As for the production of the secret text, it is now vaguely understood how to make "building a puppet".

Mu Tianming drew the drawings for making the "warehouse", and then pushed the steel plate to the blacksmith Pu and asked him to build these parts according to the drawings.

Blacksmith Park couldn't understand what these parts were, but he built them strictly according to the drawings given to him.

As for the puppet's core "energy crystal", Mu Tianming thought of the "jujube core-type crystal" he asked for from the Star Spirit Ancestor, the kind of crystal that emitted a faint light, and seemed to have faint energy fluctuations.

As for the filling, there are many, which can be filled with "meat", the common beef, venison, wolf meat, tiger meat, rhinoceros beef, elephant meat, and so on. There are also various plants, such as Seven Star Sponge Grass, Four Elephant Grass, Guiyuan Linglong Grass and so on.

The ancient book "The Secret Book of Puppets of the Organ", from the explosion in the wolf cave, to the present month and a half, Mu Tianming has been watching and comprehending, until the [Jingyuan] reaches the current 55 points, and it is almost clear.

The next step is the assembly phase of finding the material.

The material of the "warehouse" is aircraft carrier steel, the material of the "skeleton" is also aircraft carrier steel, and the "energy crystals" are those "jujube core-type crystals" that the Star Spirit Ancestor took out of Fudonglai's left leg.

Now the filling is still missing.

Mu Tianming plans to go out of the city with Li Yuanhao! There are three reasons, one is to kill a few barbarians to pay tribute to the mother of the predecessor, and the other is to go to the jungle outside the city to find puppet "filling".

As for the third point, it is also to explore the terrain near Qingshan Lake, after all, there is a treasure like [Qingshan Lake Xuanzhu] at the bottom of the lake.

There was still some time before noon.

Mu Tianming was in the study, using a wooden knife and a sparring puppet to chop and slash.

These days, I have tirelessly chopped and slashed many knives, and my body and knife skills have become more and more proficient.

Airplanes!

There was a sudden jolt in the air.

I saw three rows of small words appear on the retina in front of me:

[You use the long knife to slash 30,000 times in ten days, and you get the achievement - study hard and practice hard]

[Study hard: This achievement rewards a high-level rune blood drinking talisman]

[Blood Drinking Charm: This charm is attached to the blade of the knife, so that the knife gets the blood drinking effect.] The blade is full of the blood of thirty people, and can be strengthened once. 】

Mu Tianming felt that there was an extra piece of fiery red rune paper in the [Portable Space].

So delighted, he took out the rune paper, and it was a rune seal with incomparably complex and delicate patterns.

"Is this a rune? It seems to contain the supreme mysterious power! ”

Mu Tianming felt a trace of warmth in the rune paper, and a strange spell appeared in his mind.

So he quickly took out a Damascus steel knife, pasted the rune paper on the blade, and recited the strange incantation.

The mantra was cumbersome, difficult to understand, not in ordinary language, and difficult to remember, so I had to strike while the iron was hot and quickly repeat it.

Airplanes!

The red rune paper turned into a blood-red streamer and entered the white blade.

A faint trace of blood red flowed on the blade.

[Your saber has been inflicted with the Blood Drinking Rune, and after drinking the blood of thirty people, you can get an enhanced special effect]

Another line of small print appeared in front of me.

Mu Tianming stroked the blade of the knife, the cold knife body seemed to be a little shallow warm, and the faint red light seemed to be in urgent need of blood.

"Good knife, watch me use you to kill the enemy and drink blood!"

Mu Tianming waved his knife and put it away.

It was nearly noon.

When Mu Tianming was about to go out, the door was blocked by three people, Qiu Fu in a light blue dress, Shangguan Rou in white, and Zhang Wan'er, a newcomer in a cherry blossom pink Luo skirt.

The three of them knew that Mu Tianming was going out to fight, so they came to persuade together.

Mu Tianming looked at the three of them and said: "There are no eggs under the nest, if no one kills the barbarians, Qingshan City will not be able to be saved, and those who flee to the south will not be able to be saved." The dynasty will eventually fall to the barbarian iron horse. Moreover, my trip is not only to kill barbarians, but also to do some other things. You don't need to ask questions and dissuade you, just stay at home with peace of mind. ”

"Husband......

"Daddy......"

"Childe ......"

The three small mouths spoke in unison to dissuade.

Mu Tianming didn't listen, led the horse out of the yard, got on the horse and went to the south of the city.

The three of them chased Ai Ai to the gate of the hospital and told them to pay attention to safety in unison.

……

In front of the Baiji Silk Village in the south of the city.

Mu Tianming arrived on horseback, and Li Yuanhao and the other four were already there.

The five of them had a casual bite to eat at a roadside restaurant and rode out of the city.

Qingshan Lake is ten miles away from the inner city.

It's just a time for a cup of tea to get on the horse.

"Our six doors are secretly reported all over the world, and this operation is the news obtained by Brother Zhao's secret agents. If you can keep it alive, you can keep it, and if the conditions don't allow it, you will kill it all. Li Yuanhao said, "This is the barbarian's sentry team, I heard that it is to escort a few doctors to collect medicine." Our green mountains are bordered by the Yunliu Mountains, and there are many excellent herbs on the mountains, which have been coveted by barbarians for a long time. ”

Zhao Tuo said: "Don't fall in love with war, killing two barbarians will make a lot of money, and three will make a lot of money." It's best to be able to cut off the head and take it away, at least you have to bring your ears back, otherwise you won't be able to receive the merit. ”

Wang Long said: "Lord Mu, how is your combat strength?" If you are struggling, follow me and I will protect you. ”

Mu Tianming said: "A few brothers can afford me, this kind of good thing finds me, how can I drag my feet, it shouldn't be difficult to kill a few barbarians." ”

Zhao Tuodao: "I see Brother Mu walking and walking with dragon and tiger steps, and his blood is rolling, so I know that he is not idle. If you are in danger, we will save you, rest assured. ”

From the sincere eyes of several people, Mu Tianming felt a pure friendship between men.

This friendship can only be condensed in troubled times and war years.

In the galloping of the horse, the man's pride in Mu Tianming's heart was also stimulated.

Five people, five standard war knives, and five fast horses galloped to the jungle of Qingshan Lake.
