Chapter 178: Taihang Cave Mansion

After hearing this, Daoist Shu Ke hesitated and couldn't speak, Qi Dezhong asked: "Is there anything difficult about Daoist Shu? If you don't want to, Qi will not force it, but the gunpowder test will bother you to find another place, and Qi will not publicize this matter." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Qi Dezhong could see that Daoist Shu Ke and his fellow initiate obviously had some secrets, but after being awakened by Qi Dezhong's words, he really wanted to go to Taihang Mountain to test the power of gunpowder.

Hou Yafu approached to add water and make tea, broke the silence and said: "Husband, I also want to see the power of the new gunpowder, if Shu Daochang is inconvenient, we will buy the gunpowder and go to the mountains and wilderness to test the power." ”

Qi Dezhong smiled: "This is also a way, I don't know what Shu Daochang's wishes are." ”

"This ......" Daoist Shu Ke pondered for a long time, and finally said: "If Qi Daoyou can keep the secret for the poor Dao, we can go to the Taihang Cave Mansion together." ”

Qi Dezhong smiled: "The secrets of others cannot be publicized, this is the rule of the cultivation world, and Qi also receives this vow...... Without further ado, it's better to set off now. ”

"Go now?"

"Qi has always been like this. Qi Dezhong turned into a green dragon jade staff, Hou Yafu stood beside him, a green dragon blue shadow circled around him, and asked Daoist Shu Ke, "Daoist Shu, please step forward and stand close." ”

Daoist Shu Ke approached the dragon shadow hovering in a trance, and heard Qi Dezhong shout, and the three of them flew into the sky at the same time, turning into a streamer and leaving the west of the city.

The cold wind in the sky was cold, Qi Dezhong deliberately slowed down the mana of the imperial weapon to protect himself, and the cold wind blew Shu Kedao's robe wildly, he hurriedly exercised his mana to protect himself, and looked around with an incredible face.

With this act alone, Qi Dezhong could see that Shu Ke did not have the ability to fly out of the form, but it was very likely that he had a full-form cultivation, because this kind of kung fu of converging and hiding needed to be cultivated into an innate form to do it, but Shu Ke was still a little unusual.

The speed of the imperial weapon flying into the sky is extremely fast, and when you go northwest out of Tianjing City, you can see the undulating mountains in the distance, which is the remaining veins of Taihang Mountain.

Taihang Mountain is a part of the Youyan Mountains, the mountainous terrain is changeable, it is also a dangerous place for soldiers, after the Tianwang Sect took Jinyang City, it marched east to attack the fortress passes everywhere in the Taihang Mountain, and the battle was quite fierce.

But even so, there are many places in the Taihang Mountains that are rarely populated, overlooking the past from a high altitude, all are magnificent and magnificent, if there is no ability to fly, it is difficult for ordinary people to enter and exit the steep mountains at all.

Qi Dezhong and the three of them flew into the sky, and the Yuan Shen sensed more than one cultivation blessed land, but most of them were deserted, except for the traces of the slight change of the earth qi and spirit, there were few cultivators here.

According to the direction of Daoist Shu Ke, the cave where he practiced back then was in the deep mountains at the western foot of Taihang Mountain, which was a stepped limestone slope, and the rock collapsed because of the shaking of the mountain, and now it is a gravel slope.

When Qi Dezhong found it, he naturally found that this place was strange. This treacherous slope is deposed from the back to the yin and the yin and evil circles, and the lack of yang and vitality germination, is not a good place for cultivation, and even ordinary people live here for a long time and are susceptible to rheumatism.

There was not even a single sapling standing on the gravel slope except for a few weeds, and it seemed as if all the vitality had become weak.

After the three of them landed, Qi Dezhong looked at the surrounding mountains and rivers from afar, unfolded the Yuan Shen and penetrated the inside of the mountain rock, and said after exploring and inducting: "There is abundant coal in the mountains here, and there is a lot of copper and iron...... Chief Shudao, would you like to show me the gunpowder?"

When Shu Ke saw the gravel slope, he couldn't help but look sad on his face, and took out a brick-sized piece of gunpowder wrapped in leather paper from his arms.

Qi Dezhong sensed it and found that the ratio of gunpowder was very complicated, thinking that Shu Ke was not refined in a simple way, but he did not exert too much mana in the process. There is another vial of initiating charge on top of this packet of gunpowder, which is inserted into the gunpowder and then detonated to detonate the explosive charge, so that the package of gunpowder can be completely detonated.

After the Yuan Shen deduced it, Qi Dezhong probably understood the power of this package of gunpowder, and the flesh and blood body in front of it was no different from tofu, if he didn't use the talisman Dao method, the cultivator would also be injured.

"Daoist Shu, do you remember the location of the Fellow Cultivator's Cave Mansion?" Qi Dezhong asked, "Give me an accurate direction and depth." ”

Shuke said with some hesitation: "Actually...... The gunpowder may not be able to blow up the entire stone slope. ”

Qi Dezhong asked rhetorically: "Qi wants to blow up the entire stone slope, Shu Daochang's gunpowder has another way to use, maybe you didn't even pay attention to it." ”

Just like Shu Ke himself, the aura is extremely exquisite, and the cave of his fellow initiator seems to be fused with the entire stone slope mountain, and the mana of the Yuan Shen cannot be sensed, it seems that his cultivation still has shortcomings, and the subtlety and depth of the Yuan Shen induction still need to be sharpened.

According to the general direction of Shu Ke's guidance, Qi Dezhong took out a refined red copper ingot from the boat crossing Haifa, sacrificed it in the air, slowly melted and molded, and turned into two balls of liquid under the forging of invisible true fire.

One of them changed into a half-cut bamboo tube, hollow inside, and Qi Dezhong filled a part of the gunpowder into it, while the other changed like a cone, filled the remaining gunpowder inside, wrapped and sealed, and stuffed it into a cylinder, with the tip of the cone facing outward. As for the small amount of detonating charge, it was placed at the bottom of this cylinder by Qi Dezhong.

Shu Ke looked at Qi Dezhong's actions and didn't know why, but Hou Yafu saw a hint of it: "Husband, do you want to make cannonballs? It's just a combination of gunpowder and bullets, this is the first time I've seen it." ”

Qi Dezhong pondered for a long time, and seemed to continue casting spells and refining towards this nearly two-foot-long cannonball, and finally said: "I don't know much about battlefield killing, I just think it's more convenient, but if I think about it again, this thing I have refined is lacking a lot, but for now, it is enough." ”

Qi Dezhong raised his hand to fiddle, the cannonball was sacrificed in the air, and the green dragon jade staff turned into a hovering dragon shadow, winding a narrow path in front of the cannonball, pointing straight to the high place of the gravel slope, facing the portal where the cave was buried.

After everything was ready, Qi Dezhong got up and flew up, raised his hand and only tapped the end of the cannonball, flicked his fingers, and instantly detonated the gunpowder in the red copper cylinder, and the cone-like warhead was forced out by a powerful force, and shot out along the dragon shadow, directly into the gravel slope, and then there was a roar.

Two short loud noises in succession, under the restraint of Qi Dezhong's mana, only the sound like muffled thunder echoed in the mountains, and the dust that was stirred up was swept away with the gale, and when the dust settled, he saw a deep cave on the gravel slope in the distance.
