Chapter 17: About the Immortal Dao
"My name is Xiao Han, I am a hunter of the Hunter League, please report it, I have something I want to ask Mr. Mo Da to help see if it is true or not." Xiao Han said.
"What?" The guard's eyes were wary.
"It is a jade Bodhisattva, Mr. Mo Da came from the capital, all the way to eat and sleep, Xiaomin just listened to the story he told, and his heart was very encouraged, if it was identified by Mr. Mo, this jade Bodhisattva is true, Xiaomin will salute with both hands to show respect."
"Let him in!"
At this moment, Mr. Moda's voice came from the courtyard.
"Stretch your arms out and search your body."
One of the guards spoke, stepped forward and searched Xiao Han's whole body carefully, except for the Jade Bodhisattva, there were only a few taels of silver.
Xiao Han knew that the search must be very strict when he entered the official post, so he had already put the dagger and crossbow at home.
"Come with me!"
Xiao Han followed the guards into the courtyard.
Mr. Mo Da was walking in the courtyard, followed by two guards with knives.
"You are Xiao Han of the Hunters' Alliance?" Mo Da asked expressionlessly.
"Exactly, have you heard of Xiaomin?" Xiao Han asked.
"Song Qi told me that you made a crossbow, which is very powerful."
"The small people made this kind of crossbow just to make it convenient for hunters to hunt, and they had no other intentions." Xiao Han was shocked and hurriedly said.
Unexpectedly, the crossbow made by himself is so famous.
In this world, the invention of such a powerful killing weapon meets the requirements of the imperial court, and he still doesn't know, but when he hears Mo Da say this, he is very worried in his heart.
Mo Da nodded, "Did you bring a crossbow?" ”
Xiao Han shook his head, "No, how dare Xiaomin carry a weapon when he meets an adult?!" ”
"Come with me!"
After speaking, Mo Da took the lead and walked towards a guest room.
But he didn't enter the guest room, but sat on a stone bench under the big tree in front of the guest room, and stretched out his hand towards Xiao Han, "Let me see your Jade Bodhisattva." ”
Xiao Han gently put the small bag on the stone table and opened it.
When I saw the Jade Bodhisattva, my eyes lit up.
This jade bodhisattva, the jade is pure, crystal clear, and the carving is exquisite, which can be described as a work of fine work.
Mr. Mo Da picked up the jade bodhisattva and looked at it carefully, "Good jade, good handwork, this jade bodhisattva can be worth thousands of taels of silver." ”
After complimenting, Mr. Mo Da put down the Jade Bodhisattva, "Where did this thing come from?" ”
"Left by the ancestors, the ancestors of the small people were jade merchants in a county in the south, and then the family fell in the middle of the road, moved to Luoyan Town, and inherited only this jade Bodhisattva, since the adults like it, the small people will pay tribute with both hands."
Mo Da smiled slightly, "No merit, your ancestors only gave you such a treasure, if the old man accepts it, it will be the love of others, no." ”
"Xiaomin has something to ask the adults."
"Say it!"
"Xiaomin wants to ask the adults to talk about the fairy way."
"Are you interested in the Immortal Dao?"
"Yes."
"How old are you?"
"I will be seventeen years old in three months."
"The Immortal Cultivation Sect only accepts mortals under the age of sixteen, and if you want to go to the Immortal Cultivation Sect to cultivate immortals, you need to do so within three months. However, the time is just right, the four major immortal cultivation sects will hold a monk selection inspection on August 3, and there are still two months left. ”
"Can you give me some advice?"
"Cultivating the Immortal Sect, there are Qingyun in the north, Lingxiao in the south, Daomen in the west, and Canglan in the east, and the Qingyun Sect in the north, in Qingyun Mountain, a thousand miles away. To the south is Lingxiao Pavilion, which is three thousand miles away from Lingxiao Mountain. To the west is the Daomen, three thousand miles away on the West Boundary Mountain. To the east is the Canglan Gate, seven thousand miles away in the Canglan Sea. ”
"The selection and inspection of monks is very strict, one is to test the spiritual root, the second is to test the character, and the third is to test the wisdom of life, and if you can't pass any of them, you will be eliminated."
"Do you know what a spiritual root is?"
"The spiritual root has thirteen attributes: metal, wood, water, fire, earth, ice, wind, thunder, yin, yang, time, space, and speech and spirit, and only by having one of them can you pass the spiritual root investigation."
"Those who have one or more attributes of spiritual roots, but none of them are abundant, are called pseudo-spiritual roots. Those who have one or more attributes of spiritual roots, and all of them are abundant, are called true spiritual roots. Those who have all thirteen attributes of the spirit root and are abundant are called super spirit roots. There is also the dragon spirit root, which is the bloodline left by the ancient dragon clan in the mortal world, this spirit root is the strongest among the four spirit roots, but there is no one in ten thousand. ”
"There is another kind of physique, called fusion physique, people with this physique, although there is no spiritual root in the body, but they can fuse the spiritual root by chance, as for what kind of spiritual root can be fused, it is uncertain."
"These things are what the old man saw from a book many years ago, whether they are true or not, and it is difficult to be sure, you just have to listen to them. As for the rest, it is difficult for the old man to say a thing or two, and if he talks nonsense, he will mislead you. ”
"Thank you, little people, for your teaching." Xiao Han bowed to Mo Dashen.
"It's just a matter of talking, no need to be polite, not to mention that the old man also has a matter, I want to ask you."
"Your Excellency, please speak." Xiao Han hurriedly said.
"The old man is very interested in the crossbow you invented, you go back and bring the crossbow and let the old man take a look."
"Xiaomin, go back and get it."
Xiao Han knew that he couldn't refuse, so he quickly went home and took the crossbow and drawings back.
Mo Da was so interested in the crossbow that Xiao Han had already vaguely guessed his purpose after thinking about it on the road.
If the powerful crossbow is brought back to Shangjing and handed over to the emperor, and then the ironshop is made in large quantities according to the drawings and handed over to the soldiers to use, it will definitely greatly increase the combat power of the army.
In this way, Mo Da became a hero of the imperial court.
However, Xiao Han did not take the iron crossbow he used, but a wooden crossbow.
Mo Da took the crossbow in his hand and looked at it carefully, and then looked at the drawings.
Then he handed the crossbow to a guard beside him, "Guard Zhang, you put three arrows in the crossbow chamber and try to shoot one." ”
Guard Zhang received the order, loaded the crossbow arrow, and aimed at a tree ten meters away.
"Whoosh."
Three arrows fired in a row, half of the fifteen-centimeter-long bamboo arrows did not enter the tree.
The three of them were shocked.
"It's so powerful." Mo Da took the crossbow again and looked at it carefully, "Guard Zhang, what do you think of this crossbow?" ”
"The speed of fire is far beyond the average bow, the accuracy is extremely high, and the user does not have too many requirements like the archers, which is really unexpected."
"If it is made of metal, the power of this crossbow can be increased by more than three times, and the range can reach more than one hundred and fifty meters, and it can easily penetrate a strong brown bear at a distance of thirty meters. If the crossbow is made larger and good materials are used, the range can reach more than 500 meters. Xiao Han said.
The three of them were shocked again.
Immediately, Mo Da smiled again, "Xiao Han, you have made great contributions to the imperial court, if the army of the Northern Liang Kingdom uses this crossbow, its combat power will definitely increase greatly." ”
"My lord, if 10,000 powerful triple crossbows are fired in one salvo, at a distance of 500 meters, a rain of arrows can be formed."
"Okay, well, with this thing, why is my Northern Liang Kingdom afraid of foreign invasion? Xiao Han, how about you give this crossbow and drawings to the old man? Rest assured, the old man is already an ancient person, and he will never be greedy for your merits, if you want to enter the court as an official, the old man will definitely recommend it. ”
"Thank you for your support, Xiaomin is only shallow in learning, and he can't be an official, so he just wants to go to the Immortal Cultivation Sect to give it a try."
"It's really teachable, since you are not an official, and the old man does not force it, you bring back the jade bodhisattva, the old man does not accept it, this crossbow and the drawings you drew are worth more than a thousand jade bodhisattvas. When the old man returns to Shangjing, he will definitely ask the emperor to reward you and give you a title, when the time comes, you are in Luoyan Town, that is, a person with status and status, even Song Qi will respect you. ”
"Thank you, little people."
Xiao Han no longer refused, but hurriedly said.
