The news that the nine places where the Demon Emperor Chi You split the corpse and suppressed it has been loosened has happened twenty years ago, and although the secrets are unknown, they are full of curiosity.

"Where Chi You is divided into corpses and suppressed?" Lin Ziming remembered everything he had encountered in the Song family's underground palace, which could be described as dangerous, and every time he recalled it, it was terrifying.

Xuanyuan Sanguang's words did not end here, he continued to say slowly to Lin Ziming: "The nine of us left the clan and came to a designated place of suppression, but we didn't find anything wrong from it; ”

"What the Xuanyuan clan did was incredible, incomprehensible. Although Lin Ziming did not have a serious experience, it was not difficult to understand the taste of Xuanyuan Sanguang being abandoned by the ethnic group.

But now he didn't want to dwell on this kind of thing, and quickly changed the subject.

Xuanyuan Sanguang knew what the blood-colored crescent moon represented: "Don't you want me to become the hall master of the eighteen halls of the Blood Prison?"

"You are a member of the Xuanyuan clan, and your blood is born with an ability to resist blood hell. Lin Ziming only said the purpose at this time: "Since you have already understood, this matter also depends on your wishes, and I will not force others." ”

Lin Ziming has understood Xuanyuan Sanguang's character, during his wandering in the rivers and lakes, he has developed the habit of gambling when he sees people, has this kind of gambler mentality, and is good at seeking his own rights and interests between the pros and cons, and Xuanyuan Sanguang needs strength to face the future.

Xuanyuan Sanguang did not show a trace of hesitation in the face of such a choice: "I know that the blood prison power blessed by the Nine Heavens Xuannu Demon Suppression Order will no longer have a violent demonic nature, but more of a dark side power, but before that, I have a question I want to get your answer?"

"What's the problem?"

"As far as I know, except for the Nine Heavens Xuannu, only the Xuanyuan clan knows the correct way to draw it, how did you know it?" Even if Xuanyuan Sanguang was conspired to get rid of it by the Xuanyuan clan, he still had the glory of the clan in his heart, and his practice of changing his name without changing his surname could already explain everything.

"What's the matter? Lin Ziming looked at Xuanyuan Sanguang and smiled, and said, "Back then, the Nine Heavens Xuannu was able to leave the Nine Heavens Xuannu Demon Suppression Order in the Xuanyuan Clan, couldn't it be left elsewhere?"

Xuanyuan Sanguang was silent, said no more, picked up the rune paper on the table, got up and left.

Just as Xuanyuan Sanguang was leaving, a subordinate came in and reported to Lin Ziming: "Lord Zhao asked his subordinates to come over and ask Master Lin to come over and talk about it. ”

"I see. Lin Ziming nodded.

Lin Ziming left the room and came to Zhao Min's room again, but he saw that in addition to Zhao Min, there was another person in the house, who was Xu Fang, the second housekeeper of the Shizi Mansion.

"Master Lin, Madame Hua Rui asked me to pass this secret letter to you. Xu Fang got up and handed the secret letter to Lin Ziming, and then said goodbye to the two.

After Xu Fang left, Lin Ziming vaguely remembered that the first time Mrs. Hua Rui asked him to secretly pass the message, and now that he knows his identity, he doesn't need to cover it up.

Mrs. Hua Rui asked Xu Fang to meet Zhao Min first this time before informing Lin Ziming, naturally considering what happened in the Ruyang Palace.

"Sir, the Shizi Mansion has given 10,000 taels of silver as compensation for recovering the Ruyang Palace, and I think this money will also be used in the construction of Tianxue Village. Zhao Min told Lin Ziming the truth.

Lin Ziming thought for a while, Zhao Min's idea was feasible, the eight thousand taels of silver he got from Linghualou were just spent on the expansion, and the ten thousand taels of compensation given by the Shizi Mansion said: "That's good, if you can invest this money in the gunpowder experiment, the progress should be much faster." ”

"Gunpowder?" Zhao Min's curiosity soared after hearing this, she had no doubts that Lin Ziming could make such a new thing, but expected: "By the way, Madame Hua Rui has a secret letter with you, but what do you want you to do?"

"Hmm. Lin Ziming handed the secret letter to Zhao Min and said, "She wants me to participate in this war and exercise." ”

"Can Mr. refuse her?" Zhao Min's face sank, and he said softly, imagine that Temur died in the battle between Shu and Tubo, and Zhao Min's thoughts were really normal.

After all, Lin Ziming had a relationship with her, it can be said that Zhao Min's only reliance now is Lin Ziming alone, if Lin Ziming has any problems, what should she be called.

"Needless to say, there is a danger in it, but Madame Blossom has a great favor to me after all, and she should have considered the risks involved in doing so. Lin Ziming tried to persuade Zhao Min: "Besides, I will definitely wait until the gunpowder experiment is successful to make a final decision." ”

"What is gunpowder that makes you so dependent on it. Zhao Min saw Lin Ziming talking about gunpowder again, if he didn't pay much attention to it before, it was no wonder that he was looking forward to it at this moment.

Lin Ziming thought of the gunpowder, Tang Lie should match those raw materials according to his instructions, and Zhao Min was very interested, so he just wanted to go to Tang Lie to see the progress.

"Min'er, don't you want to see how powerful the gunpowder is?" Lin Ziming looked at Zhao Min's green face, which had already taken off his green face, and became more mature.

Outside Tianxue Village, there are many young and strong villagers in the surrounding villages not far away, and a large area of wasteland is already under construction, for them, they can contract three meals a day, and a laborer can also receive forty yuan, for ordinary people, the remuneration given by Tianxue Village is already very good.

Tang Lie had already reached an agreement at an open-pit iron ore mine not far from Tianxuezhuang, and had chartered a place there for testing.

Lin Ziming and Zhao Min rode horses and spent a while to come to this open-pit iron mine, this mine is a close relative of the Meng family, An Luoxiong and the official joint operation, the An family funded, the government sent troops to protect, the scale is not small, Chengdu Mansion many blades are here iron ore transported out of forging.

"The little one has seen the county lord!"

As soon as Lin Ziming and Zhao Min came to the mine, the officers and soldiers there recognized her, and asked in a flattering tone: "I don't know what happened to the county lord here?"

"Is Gongzi An here?" Zhao Min asked in a voice to the guards.

"Yes. ”

"The county lord, please, I'll go and let the son come to see you. ”

Lin Ziming and Zhao Min came to a manor under the guidance of another officer and soldier, and entered the hall, and after a while, An Tianxiong's second son, An Taotao, who was in charge of the An family's work in the mine, entered, facing a smiling face: "Which gust of wind blew Lord Min here." ”

"Who is this?"

"In the lower Lin Ziming. Lin Ziming introduced himself with a slight smile.

"It turned out to be Brother Lin. An Taotao was very polite when he saw that it was the person next to Zhao Min.

In fact, he did have news that Zhao Min had been in the Heavenly Blood Village not far from the mine in recent months, but in the face of the many masters of the Heavenly Blood Village, and the fact that he was busy with things, he didn't want Zhao Min to visit him in person today.

If there is nothing to do, he will go to the Three Treasures Palace, and An Taotao naturally understands this truth, and he has always admired Zhao Min, and with the report of the officers and soldiers, he immediately came to the manor to meet him.

"We're acquaintances, so I won't mention polite words. Zhao Min responded, and immediately teased with An Taotao: "Let's come to find Tang Lie, can you introduce us to us?"

"Where did Lord Min get the news?" An Yutao thought that something big had happened, and his expression changed, but he didn't want to be caught, Tang Lie had just come to the mine and reached a secret agreement with him, Tang Lie was very important to him.

"You just can't stand a joke. Zhao Min sneered, like a blooming flower, extremely glamorous and enchanting: "Actually, Tang Lie is already a person from Tianxue Village, and we are here to see how the gunpowder is going?"

"It scared the hell out of me. "Where does An Yutao look like the person in charge of a mine at the moment, this is not for other reasons, but because he knows Zhao Min too well, he will be so ugly.

"Anyway, I've finished my rounds today, so I can take you to see him now. ”

"Let's go. ”

An Taotao took Lin Ziming and Zhao Min around the mine and came to the back mountain, and after a while, a valley appeared in front of the three of them.

In the valley, a bamboo building has been erected on a slightly higher ground, surrounded by green bamboo and gurgling water, which makes it impossible to feel that this would be the stuff of a mine.

"Bang!"

About a hundred meters away from the bamboo building, there was a blasting sound in the low-lying area, and suddenly the three of them heard the sound and looked up, and saw Tang Lie trying to light the gunpowder alone, which made him extremely embarrassed.

Tang Lie recorded some useful experiences while experimenting, and suddenly saw three familiar faces, so he put down the things in his hand and ran over: "Why are you here?"

"The two of them wanted to come and see how far your gunpowder test had got. An Taotao replied.

"Today is also the first time I've tried this new thing, and I can't say how much progress I made. Tang Lie smiled, but this time alone had a lot of gains: "Brother Lin, as you said, although the amount of gunpowder is small, it may burst out with earth-shattering power, and just a small amount of it has made me suffer a lot." ”

"I've made it clear to you that this isn't something that ordinary people can play with. Lin Ziming looked at Tang Lie with a dark face and said with a smile.

An Taotao listened to it on the side, originally he thought that the gunpowder was something Tang Lie had made up, but now it seems that he was afraid that the man surnamed Lin in front of him made it.

Moreover, Zhao Min has changed into a woman's dress, which means that there is no need to mention it.

After a while, the four of them returned to the bamboo building, and Tang Lie told Lin Ziming about the latest situation of gunpowder, which made his eyes light up: "You mean that it is not a problem to put gunpowder into a narrow space?"

"Not bad. Tang Lie nodded, originally it would take him more than a month to succeed, but in order to find a convenient way, he got acquainted with An Yutao and solved many of his problems in one fell swoop: "I am sure that I can put this idea into practice within seven days, and the chance of success is seventy or eighty percent." ”

"Can we sit in mass production in a short period of time?" Lin Ziming is most concerned about this, it is naturally not nonsense to be able to put forward such an idea, the smelting technology of the Han and Tang Empires is extremely superb, it is not difficult to achieve such a request, and there are a large number of relevant talents that are readily available in Anjia.

"Brother Lin is so urgent, doesn't he want to throw gunpowder, a big killing weapon, on the battlefield?" An Taotao guessed.

"Not bad. ”

Now that Shuzhong and Tubo are officially at war, if such a sharp weapon can be put into it, I believe it can play a great role.

"If you can help from Anjia, you can do mass production in a short time. Tang Lie looked at Lin Ziming and An Taotao, if these two main masters agreed, this matter would not be difficult to do, but it must be done in an orderly manner: "However, to do this kind of thing, you have to pass on the Dharma to some people, and the time it takes is estimated to take three or four days." ”

An Taotao naturally understands the huge benefits contained in it, the troubled times will rise, the war is endless, if you can seize such an opportunity, you will be able to take advantage of the rapid rise of the An family, the achievement of a century-old foundation.

"How could I refuse such a good thing. If it weren't for someone close to him, it would be hard to imagine that nearly two-thirds of the iron ore business of the An family was in the hands of An Taotao alone.

The four of them stayed in this bamboo building for a whole day, so that they forgot to sleep and eat, and devoted themselves to it, and their work efficiency was naturally significantly improved, and it was on this that Tianxuezhuang and the An family reached an agreement.

As evening approached, Lin Ziming and Zhao Min said goodbye to Tang Lie and An Yutao and returned to Tianxuezhuang.

The busyness of the day made Lin Ziming almost forget that Dai Qisi was coming to Chengdu Mansion today, until he returned to Tianxue Village and saw Dai Qisi, and he showed a sudden realization.

"Xianggong, why are you in Shuzhong?" Dai Qisi learned the news of Lin Ziming's southward journey from Master Li.

After Lin Ziming roughly explained what happened in it, he was a little helpless: "That's how the ghost sent the god to Shuzhong." ”

"This Cihang Jingzhai is touting the main gate of the world, but secretly he is doing such a reluctant thing. Dai Qisi and Zhao Min were terrified when they heard it, but fortunately, Lin Ziming is fine now.

Dai Qisi saw that there was a relationship between Lin Ziming and Zhao Min, but Zhao Min had already known Dai Qisi's identity from Lin Ziming's mouth, and at first she couldn't understand Lin Ziming's approach, but after becoming a woman, she had more understanding, and gradually knew that mature beauty also has a fatal attraction to men, and everything was relieved.

In the face of things, Lin Ziming is also fortunate that everyone is a son and daughter of the rivers and lakes, and there are no many rules.

"I haven't seen you for a few months, I don't want Sister Min to get on this thief ship, don't you know that he has already won the hearts of five or six people. Dai Qisi said this, and she didn't know whether she was slandering Lin Ziming or praising him.

Zhao Min looked helpless: "What's the use of my sister talking about this now, the person who can keep him is difficult to keep his person, the nature of a man is difficult to change, I hope that people will last a long time, and Mr. can never abandon us." ”

"What are these words, if you can't even protect you, what kind of face do you have to do other things?" Lin Ziming said with a straight face.
