Diao Xiaosi slept until noon before waking up, and handed over a few broken array diagrams that had been drawn all night to Li Shimin's confidants who were already waiting in the inn, and then hastily had lunch, and rushed to the dock with Geng Shaohua and others to take a boat back to Chang'an.

Fang Xuanling stayed in Jinyang, saying that he chatted with Li Shimin for a morning after meeting, and he regretted seeing each other late, so he resolutely threw himself into the Tang State Mansion, intending to take this as the road to the emperor that he never forgot.

Before parting, he quietly stuffed a letter to Diao Xiaosi, to be handed over to Chaotian Jiao on his behalf.

Diao Xiaosi accepted the letter and said earnestly: "Xiaofang, Chaotian pepper is not only very spicy but also very numb, be careful of hurting your body." ”

Fang Xuanling said confidently: "It's okay, I grew up in sesame sauce since I was a child." ”

So Diao Xiaosi didn't say anything more, but when Fang Xuanling was full of poetry and books, he must have learned the magic skill of subduing the tiger from the ancient sage. It wasn't until many years later that the old Fang's tigress upgraded to the prestige of the Hedong Lion, and Diao Xiaosi realized that what Fang Xuanling said to him that day was not "sesame sauce" but "mahjong".

Chai Shao and Li Xiuning were sent all the way to the dock, Diao Xiaosi, Wan'er and everyone boarded the boat and sailed, and said goodbye to them.

From Jinyang to Chang'an, the waterway along the section of the Fen River was smooth, and the ship was not loaded with goods, so it went very fast.

Diao Xiaosi lay in the cabin, took out the book of "Unknown Notes" left by the old blind man, and looked through it boredly. This notebook is almost the crystallization of Bu Operator's life's work, and tens of thousands of words cover everything and dabble in the aurora. But what interests Diao Xiaosi the most is the article about the refining of stacked talismans.

Different from the combination of two ritual talismans and three cai talismans, it is a seamless condensation of two, three or even more Dao talismans on the same rune paper, and through the control of the runes, it can burst out in an instant when encountering the enemy, with an astonishing power equivalent to several Dao talismans.

Judging from the pen code, Bu Operator's study and comprehension of stacked talismans has reached a very high level in recent years, and he even once refined a four-fold talisman by himself. It's a pity that Diao Xiaosi rummaged through all the belongings left by the old blind man, but he couldn't find the four-fold talisman called "Old Tree Withered Vine Crow".

Diao Xiaosi found that if he could refine a six-rank two-stack talisman, then its power could catch up with an ordinary seven-rank Dao talisman. And a six-rank three-stack talisman can even steadily overwhelm one end of the seventh-grade Dao talisman.

However, due to the extremely high failure rate and complexity of talisman refining, it is difficult to see even on the black market.

So Diao Xiaosi quickly summed up the two benefits of refining stacked talismans. First of all, it can make money, and it is to make a lot of money, and then if there are a few six-rank stacked talismans to defend themselves, what Duan Zhentian and Jianyong monks are all scum. Even if you are unlucky and bump into the old demon of Eagle Yang, you can definitely give the other party a big surprise.

Thinking of this, Diao Xiaosi couldn't wait to start looking through the refining methods and refining recipes of the stacked talismans in the notebook. Who knew that the old blind man hadn't written down any of the specific refining methods of stacking talismans, let alone refining recipes.

Diao Xiaosi was disappointed, threw away the "Unspecified Pen Book" and took out the snap of his fingers and thunder given by the eldest grandson Guanyin, and muttered: "If you really meet the old demon of Eagle Yang again, Lao Tzu will count on you." I forgot to ask the girl yesterday, I don't know how many grades of Dao talisman this is?"

Suddenly, he let out a low voice, brought the jade tube closer to his eyes, and through the light of the sky revealed outside the cabin, he vaguely saw that there were wisps of cyan light flowing on the tube.

It turned out that the runes on the jade cylinder were not static, but were in a wonderful state of flow and change at any time. The talisman maker used this ingenious method to increase the carrying capacity of the Dao talisman exponentially, so that this jade cylinder could easily accommodate the successive releases and explosions of the next three snap finger thunderbolts.

Diao Xiaosi's mind flashed with a flash of inspiration: "Isn't this the same as the principle of stacking talisman refining? The real stacking talisman is by no means simply superimposing and condensing several Dao talismans together, but using dynamic talismans to produce infinite changes, so as to increase the carrying capacity of Dao talismans to the extreme!"

As if he had found the key to open the door of the treasure house, Diao Xiaosi hurriedly grabbed the "Unspecified Pen Code" and carefully reread the chapter about overlapping symbols. Many doubts that I couldn't figure out were suddenly cleared up at this moment, and I could even draw inferences from one another to lead to more whimsical ideas.

He was like a sponge greedily sucking the profound and mysterious nourishment in the "Unspecified Brushbook", and the refining plan of a two-fold talisman gradually took on a rudimentary shape in his heart. However, from research design to actual refining, there are still many levels to be overcome, otherwise the stacked talisman is not worthy of being called the "king of talismans".

Just when he was distracted from flipping through the "Unspecified Notes", Geng Shaohua walked into the cabin and said, "Little Fourth Uncle, we may be in trouble." ”

Diao Xiaosi raised his head, and Geng Shaohua said: "There is a big boat chasing after him, it seems to be Wang Renze." ”

"Let's go, let's see. Diao Xiaosi put away the "Unspecified Notes" and walked out of the cabin, Yi Bai, Mrs. Geng, Wan'er and others were already guarding the stern of the boat, looking at the big ship that was chasing everyone at a gallop a few miles away.

Diao Xiaosi put up a pergola with his hands and watched from afar, and saw a three-story building boat on the river, with white sails towering, eating enough wind, like an arrow from the string, riding the wind and waves, chasing closer and closer.

Faintly looking, Wang Ren was standing on the deck on the top floor of the building, followed by two old men in Tsing Yi, most of whom were masters hired by the old Wang family. In addition, there are probably no less than seventy or eighty people on this ship, including sailors, and many of them are well-stubbled.

On the other hand, on his side, there are quite a few boats, but after removing the boat bosses who are hired to drive the boats, there are only about 40 people in total, and the momentum is obviously much weaker.

Yi Bai has been begging for a living on the water for most of his life, and it is common to rob his house and rob the house, and when he saw this, he smiled and said: "Fourth master, I took a few brothers to touch it and scuttled the turtle son's boat!"

Diao Xiaosi glanced at Yi Bai and asked Geng Shaohua, "Virtuous nephew, what do you think of that building ship?"

Geng Shaohua didn't know what he meant, and said vaguely: "It's big, it's good." ”

Diao Xiaosi nodded and said, "Well, it's a good boat." In comparison, this one of ours is too shabby. ”

Yi Bai came to his senses and said excitedly: "Yes, we robbed the boat surnamed Wang!"

Mrs. Geng frowned and said, "Little Fourth Uncle, isn't this good? Although Wang Ren is a little arrogant, but in broad daylight, we can't force him to take the boat......, right?

Diao Xiaosi waved his hand and said with a smile: "We are law-abiding good citizens, of course we can't rob it, we have to discuss it with Wang Renze with good words, I believe he will willingly change ships with us." ”

"Change boats?" Geng Shaohua looked at the boat under his feet, and then looked at the tall and mighty luxury boat on the river, and hesitated: "How is that possible?"

"So you have to reason with him before the soldiers. Diao Xiaosi said confidently: "Such a big boat, rampage on the river, in case of hurting a lot of people, wouldn't it? In order to prevent the innocent boatmen on the Fen River from suffering, in order to ensure the safety and smoothness of the river, we must stop Wang Renze. ”

Wan'er warned: "You are not allowed to mess around, and Wang Ren may not be here for us." ”

As soon as he finished saying this, Wang Ren stood on the boat and exhaled and shouted: "The surname is Diao, stop the boat! I want to settle last night's account with you!"

Diao Xiaosi smiled proudly at Wan'er. Wan'er said angrily: "Dad, I want a big boat!"

Geng Shaohua smiled bitterly: "Little Fourth Uncle, what do you think we should do?"

Diao Xiaosi was unhurried and took out a string of seven red carps the size of a palm from the belt of the dragon.

Yi Bai recognized the origin of this treasure at a glance and exclaimed, "This is Mr. Er's Big Dipper Dragon Gate Array!"

Diao Xiaosi chuckled and said, "Lao Yi, you don't have a bad eye, don't you know how to play with Lu Dao?"

Yi Bai nodded and said, "Mr. Two has used it once. Fourth Master, leave this matter to me, you can see it!" He took the seven Big Dipper Longmen fish, greeted Yi Bi and the others, took off his shirt and boots, turned to the bow of the boat and quietly launched into the water.

After a while, Wang Renze's boat had already chased within a hundred zhang. Immediately three rows of Tsing Yi archers appeared in the bow of the ship, setting up a longbow more than half a person high, and the white light on the bow was obviously blessed with runes. Dozens of feather arrows shot at Diao Xiaosi and the others at the stern of the boat, and the murderous aura was like a stormy wave.

"This is the military's three-grade 'Heavenly King Bow'!" Geng Shaohua said with an angry face: "Wang Ren actually dares to use it to equip his own guards, isn't he afraid of killing his head!?"

Diao Xiaosi snorted and said, "His uncle is Zheng Guogong, who will ask for trouble when he is full?"

"Bang!" A fishing boat on the river that couldn't dodge was knocked over by the building boat, and Wang Ren had already chased it to the range, shouting: "Release the arrow!"

"Whoosh-" Dozens of feathered arrows flew across the river with a terrible and piercing scream, like beams of sharp bright white lightning towards everyone.

Geng Shaohua shouted, "Hide!" He took two steps forward and pulled out the fairy sword, ready to block the feather arrow.

Diao Xiaosi didn't move, narrowed his small eyes and stared at the feathered arrows that shot like a rain of stars.

Suddenly, the sky feather arrows unbelievably changed the trajectory of the flight, circled in the air, and shot back towards the building ship!

Diao Xiaosi smiled and said: "Lao Yi has done a good job, this is the first change of the Beidou Dragon Gate Formation - the greedy wolf turns back!"

"Poof, poof!" The shooters on the boat opposite were caught off guard, and seven or eight people fell from arrows when they boarded.

Wang Ren was furious and shouted: "Go full speed, catch up and sink them!"

Lou Boat accelerated suddenly, Diao Xiaosi Chao Wang Ren raised his middle finger, slowly flipped with a cheap smile on his face, and the other four fingers stretched and flicked, like a turtle crawling awkwardly.

Wang Ren was furious and kept urging: "Quick, quick, kill this little bastard for me!"

The tall building boat was like an angry beast, roaring viciously and rushing towards Diao Xiaosi and the others at full speed!
