After the drill was completed, all the monks put down their weapons and picked up their tools to build the city.

The newly built Xuanwei Liu is on the only way for Wu City to attack the realm. How critical this position is is just looking at the last time the Wu Clan attacked, the general directly divided his troops to try to capture it.

It's just that the leader of the Wu clan obviously misjudged Wei Yuan's military strength. He didn't expect to add hundreds of Daoji monks in a short period of time. As a result, the 10,000 troops left on the ground were quickly defeated by Wei Yuan with the same force. If it weren't for Wu

If the tribal reinforcements arrive in time, the entire army of 20,000 will be wiped out.

Having once again tasted the benefits of underground fortifications, Wei Yuan took all the time to build underground fortresses. It was the time when these monks needed training, so after training, they were all taken to Xuanwei6 to dig holes, which was euphemistically called early solidification.

base.

In fact, all the monks knew that Qingming was not only the territory of the human race, but also their only home, so they all trained, fought, and worked desperately.

Even if Wei Yuan gave the order for ordinary people to rush towards the Wu clan with guns and fire a shot, no one would have any objection. In the previous battles, there were several situations where more than half of the troops were killed and still refused to retreat.

.

It was just that the Cui family had just arrived and had not yet understood the situation. They changed their tools and dug holes all night. At first, they thought this was part of the training, until it was almost dawn and they returned to the team.

, they discovered that it was just work.

Among the five people who bought immortality with money, except for the direct lineage leader, the other four also dug the soil all night. Cui Yu thought that what they bought was the right not to go to the battlefield, and did not say that they could not work.

However, in any place where dandies gather together, there is always a big mouth, so before half an hour passed, everyone knew that five people had spent money to buy immortality.

When they arrived on the first day, these dudes thought the war was far away, but after digging for a whole night, some people began to wonder that something was wrong. Wasn't this just digging fortifications?

During the process of digging holes, they often saw corpses and severed limbs that had not been cleaned up in time. Only then did they realize that the war was right in front of them. When they asked the fellow monks about the past war situation, many of them panicked.

Those who still had some wealth immediately decided to go to Cui Yu to buy a place to avoid death after finishing work.

As the bell rang to end the work, the monks emerged from the ground one by one, and everyone in the Cui family also returned to the camp to take a short rest and prepare for the next day's training.

A girl was holding another Cui family member and was talking anxiously. The man sneered: "Lend me money to buy your brother a place to avoid death? What do you want in return?"

Tears were already welling up in the girl's eyes. She looked back at her younger brother who looked timid but had hope in his eyes. She gritted her teeth and said, "I'll pay it back... myself!"

As soon as the man had some thoughts, he was pulled away by the people around him. The man was still saying: "Let's go, let's go, one quota costs two hundred immortal silver! Two hundred, how many people like her can I buy!"

The man suddenly felt justified and left without looking back. The girl eagerly tried to pull him, but was thrown away.

The girl cheered up and went to find other people. But no matter whether she borrowed money or promoted herself, she was unsuccessful.

At dawn, Wei Yuan came to the school grounds again, preparing to open up all living beings. At this time, Cui Yu hurried over and gave Wei Yuan a new list. Wei Yuan was a little surprised: "So many people are buying to avoid death?"

"Well, there are seventeen more, and we have received another three thousand four hundred taels of silver. If you don't have any cash, you can use magic weapons or other things to pay for it, but we don't accept credit."

"Some people are afraid that they will go bankrupt! After spending so much money, the chance of casting a Taoist base has been halved. Isn't it just a battlefield? Isn't it that scary?"

Cui Yu said: "It's so scary. I just briefly mentioned to them the casualty rate in the past few battles, and I was a little scared myself."

Wei Yuan stopped talking. With this casualty rate, he would never let his relatives go to the battlefield.

"I don't want to die, and the chance of becoming a Taoist master is slim, so why come? It's better to go back directly."

Cui Yu sneered: "How can it be so easy to go back? The clan has benefited from the fact that these people can come here, so the ancestors said that no one cares about death or injury. If they dare to go back like this, the clan will not spare them and will kill them with sticks.

possible."

"Then I don't care." Wei Yuan didn't have time to worry about the rich and useless. After training, he had to accompany Yu Zhizhuo to the forging workshop.

After hundreds of new road foundations were added, the steel production in the area increased greatly, but it was still far from enough. Now that Gao Xiu from Tiangong Temple had finally arrived, naturally he had to ask for his advice quickly.

After the training, Wei Yuan went to meet up with Yu Zhizhuo and flew with him to the forging workshop.

There were still more than ten miles away from the weapon forging workshop. Yu Zhizhuo looked at the smoke column in front of him and said: "The temperature of this furnace is a bit low, and the magic weapon materials cannot be refined."

Wei Yuan immediately admired him, everyone could tell the temperature by looking at the fire, but it had to be everyone who could tell the temperature of the furnace by looking at the smoke from a distance.

Last night Zhang Sheng had privately introduced Master Yu to Wei Yuan in detail. Yu Zhizhuo, like Ji Liuli and Zhang Sheng, both had reached the perfection of Taoism early on, but they had been reluctant to be promoted to Dharma.

His soul and state of mind have also been perfected, and he is a promising figure.

Moreover, Zhang Sheng also mentioned that in his early years, many of Wei Yuan's spiritual resources came from Tiangong Hall and passed through the hands of Yu Zhizhuo. Zhang Sheng just passed by the process without going into details.

There is one thing Zhang Sheng didn't mention. He had written to Yu Zhizhuo a long time ago, but there has been no response. Now Zhang Sheng doesn't know why he suddenly came to Qingming. Is it really for the underworld?

When he arrived at the forge, before Yu Zhizhuo had time to study the furnace, his eyes were attracted by fifty monks forging iron uniformly. He looked at it quietly for a while and asked: "They forge iron like this, do they have to spend a day?

Half an hour?" Wei Yuan replied: "It should be...eight hours."

When Yu Zhizhuo saw Duo Shiguang again, he couldn't help being surprised and asked: "Why is this?"

"They have just cast the Taoist foundation and want to consolidate it," Wei Yuan said.

Yu Zhizhuo snorted and said: "Can blacksmithing strengthen the foundation of a ghost? Are you... trying to mass-produce steel plates?"

"Uncle Master, his eyes are as bright as a torch! These steel plates are the key to the production of muskets. This matter is related to the life and death of the realm, so the more, the better."

"Musket?"

"I'm about to give a demonstration to my uncle, please come with me."

Wei Yuan brought Yu Zhizhuo to the shooting range, and then ordered someone to bring a batch of steel pipe guns of different models. Wei Yuan picked up a steel pipe gun with a two-pound charge, pointed it at the wooden target ten feet away, and activated it.

gunpowder.

With a bang, a fist-sized warhead was shot out, punching a big hole in the wooden target wearing the Wu Clan's standard body armor!

Without saying a word, Yu Zhizhuo flashed to the wooden target, looked at it carefully for a long time, and even picked up the projectiles and looked at them. Then he tried the gun himself and fired dozens of shots before putting the gun down.

, there are still some unfinished ideas.

"How?" Wei Yuan asked.

"It's unbelievable! Isn't it possible to deliver a Daoji attack at this casting stage?"

Yu Zhizhuo shot out a thin wisp of pale gold sword energy from his fingertips, and directly cut a musket horizontally, and then cut another vertically.

This light gold sword energy really cuts through iron like mud, and its cross section is as smooth as a mirror. Wei Yuan felt that this sword energy seemed to be somewhat similar to Zhang Sheng's Immortal Sword Zhanxu.

Yu Zhizhuo looked at the cross section of the steel plate carefully, then cut off another piece and put it in his hand. The piece of steel heated up rapidly, turned red in an instant, and turned into a pool of bright molten steel. He looked at the color of the molten steel, and then

With a pinch, the temperature of the molten steel dropped sharply and turned into a steel ball.

Yu Zhizhuo picked up another musket loaded with two kilograms of powder, the kind that Wei Yuan had just tried, then covered the barrel with his hand and directly activated the gunpowder!

Wei Yuan was shocked, but the gunpowder exploded and not a trace of smoke leaked out from between Yu Zhizhuo's fingers. It was stuffed in the barrel of the gun and exploded, causing the entire gun body to bulge and twist.

Yu Zhizhuo let go of his hand, and there were some scorch marks on his palm, which disappeared with a swipe. He put down the deformed steel pipe and said: "For the power of this gun, the steel is too good, and there is no need to be so strong.

The number of forgings can be reduced by half, and then quenching is added in the middle, and the steel will be enough. In this way, the number of steel plates produced every day can be increased by half."

Wei Yuan was overjoyed. Yu Zhizhuo was worthy of being a high-ranking cultivator in the Tiangong Palace. In just a few words, he was able to increase the steel plate production capacity by half.

"How did you come up with this musket in the first place?"

Wei Yuan thought for a while and decided to tell the truth: "I accidentally caught an extraterrestrial visitor and asked him to write down all his experiences and life in that world. There is no cultivation in that world, only mortals. Firearms are the weapons used by mortals."

"Is there such a world? Where is the information? Show it to me."

"The information is on the main peak. I will have someone make a copy of it right away and send it to you."

Yu Zhizhuo picked up another musket, took aim at the target, then played with it in his hand, and said slowly: "This thing is just a little less powerful, but if there are enough, it won't be difficult to deal with."

"I want to give one to everyone in the realm. When the Wu Clan comes, they will know what it means to be a soldier."

"If you want to increase the number, it won't be difficult. I already have some ideas, but I'll wait until I finish reading the information written by the outsiders that day."

Wei Yuan immediately said: "I will accompany you to get the original version now, and I will send you the copy later. But now is the time for the daily discussion. Uncle, do you want to participate?"

Yu Zhizhuo already knew that everyone in Taichu Palace would meet regularly every day, mainly to exchange ideas and deal with important matters in the realm. After just trying the musket, he was very interested in Qing Ming and wanted to hear about other people who came first.

Everyone said something, so he followed Wei Yuan back to the main peak.

When everyone arrived, Sun Yu said: "I have had some free time in the past two days and studied the elixir amoxicillin that Xu Wenwu brought. I found that this medicine is quite miraculous, and it is worthy of being regarded as an elixir for mortals."

name."

"Is this medicine really useful?" All the cultivators in Taichu Palace were very curious.

Sun Yu took out two small plates and put them on the table. They were both coated with a thin layer of grease, and then said: "I sprinkled some amoxicillin on one plate, but not on the other. Now one

As the days and nights passed, the insects in the dish that had been sprinkled with the medicine were almost extinct, while in the other dish, all living beings multiplied."
