Chapter 133 The Heavenly Moat Passage
King Wei stood on the stage with a wide view.

Monk Yuanfa stayed by King Wei's side and saw the situation clearly, so he whispered to King Wei,

"Your Majesty, the second brother of Chenna is well-informed.

He doesn't seem to be flustered right now, he should have a way to break Feixian. "

King Wei nodded and ordered,

"Ren Chengwang, summon An Nao Xiao to protect the guest seat, and ensure the safety of the grandfather.

Let's go there too and see what's going on. "

The dark 铙铩 is Wang Shennian's ghost-faced troops. Not only are their uniforms uniform in color and masks, they are also almost the same in height, fat and thin. They all straddle round shields and carry double knives on their backs, and their weapons are of the same standard.

As soon as Yuan Hong's order came out, dozens of black-bodied ghost-masked men rushed out from nowhere in an instant, forming a circle in the crowd,
Only Min Zhi, Qing Yun, Liu Ying, Cai Ting, Miss Yin and Xiao Yan were guarded in the middle, and the others were kept in the periphery.

Yang Dayan, Pan Shuyan, General Pan, Li Chong, Yang Yi, and Baochang escorted Yuan Hong and several princes to the formation.

"Grandpa Zu, do you have a way to break this monster?"

To show respect, Yuan Hong personally inquired.

"Going back to King Wei, there is a way.

But I need a sharpshooter who can penetrate Yang with a hundred steps. "

When Yuan Hong heard that it was indeed possible to break it, he couldn't help praising it,
"Oh? Mr. Zu is worthy of being the disciple of Daoist Huayang, who actually mastered this immortal method."

"This is not some fairy method, it's just some bluffing tricks.

The so-called Tianlei ㄣ, the character ㄣ is not the 'yin' that draws the strings and opens the bow, but the 'ㄣ' character used in the seal script.

Looking at the form to know the meaning, but some fake tricks,

Shoot it down, and the king of Wei will know the clue. "

"Okay, I'm going to find a good archer for you!"

Yuan Hong turned his eyes around, and Yang Yi had already volunteered,

"Your Majesty, my subject Yang Yi is willing to give it a try."

Yuan Hong laughed,
"Yang Qing's archery skills are certainly good, but I still have a more suitable candidate.
It is the No. 1 archery in our Baoyi Army, and it may not lose half a point to Shuming, the Taishi of the Southern Qi Dynasty. "

Yuan Hong still has such a trump card in his hand, not to mention that Qingyun and his party are guests from afar, it is unknown,

Even Ren Chengwang and Xiaolongwang were confused and didn't know what they were referring to.

Yuan Hong gestured slightly to the crowd,

"Xinwu, come here, it's time for you to show your face."

Xinwu, the unique and graceful name, immediately ignited everyone's expectations.

Unexpectedly, the one who squeezed into the crowd was a bhikkhuni with a short stature and a dark and thin appearance.

"Funan Kingdom Liu Xinwu, met His Majesty the King of Wei."

Funan Kingdom, Liu Xinwu.

Qingyun had met this person when he was in Lanruo Temple, and she was also a guest monk of Siyiyuan.

It's just that her appearance is really obsessed with everyone, and she is also very low-key,

For such a long time, Qingyun has never left any impression of her.

But I didn't expect that she was actually a Baoyi secret spy who directly took orders from King Wei!

It seems that King Wei still has a lot of cards in his hand.

Yuan Hong pointed to Liu Xinwu's way of confrontation,
"Let me introduce you.

The queen of Funan Kingdom, Liu Xinwu, is now a senior guerrilla of our Baoyi Army.

Maybe you didn't know her well before,
But her son, the supreme monk in the Panpan country, should have had some dealings with you. "

The supreme monk once had a feud with Liu Ying, and Feng Liang sent people to investigate, but he never pursued the two supreme and immortal monks. It turns out that there is such a cause and effect behind it.

At this time, not only Liu Ying, but everyone's eyes were a little unnatural, obviously they didn't believe that this black and short mistress was the number one shooter in Baoyi comparable to Tai Shi Shuming.

Liu Xinwu seemed to have seen this kind of questioning gaze a lot, and didn't think it was disobedient, she just yelled,
"Man, bow!"

A dark cloud came from nowhere, and a middle-aged man jumped into the formation holding a big bow.

The man's face was no different from that of the people from the Central Plains, but he was born darker, and there was a golden flame mark on his forehead.

The big bow in his hand was almost as long as his height, more than a head taller than Liu Xinwu.

Could this bow be for Liu Xinwu?
Liu Xinwu took the bow with a smile and bowed to Zu Dianzhi,
"Mr. Zu, this longbow I own has a farther range than the one made in the Central Plains.

It's just that the demon has gone too far, if he wants to shoot him down, I'm afraid I can't do it. "

Zu Dianzhi didn't believe in ghosts and monsters, but respected strange people and strangers. He didn't feel contemptuous or even suspicious because of Liu Xinwu's appearance.

Because when he saw the long bow, he knew that Liu Xinwu must be good at long-distance shooting,

So he answered politely,

"I don't need Senior Liu to shoot people directly.

What is the range of the senior's full bow? "

"One hundred and twenty steps."

(About two hundred meters, the traditional longbow shooting distance.)
Jizhi glanced around, then walked out of the circle quickly, picked up a crescent halberd abandoned by the soldiers rushing to the street, then turned back,
"Senior is ten steps away from me, I hold this halberd, and ask senior to shoot at the center of the lock window with full bow."

Liu Xinwu didn't say much, she stepped back ten steps, took an arrow from the man's hand, and nodded to Junzhi.

Jizhi took a good look at Liu Xinwu's position, so he turned to look at the Feixian,
After a little weighing, he raised the halberd in his hand high.

The direction indicated by the halberd was not where Feixian was floating, and there was a big difference in the angle, and everyone couldn't help being stunned.

Liu Xinwu seemed unreliable enough, but this Southern Dynasty scholar was not very useful either.

But just as Binzhi didn't question Liu Xinwu, Liu Xinwu didn't have any doubts about Binzhi's instructions.

She leaned her body back and bent it into a bow shape, concentrating on it, drawing the string like a full moon, and with a whoosh sound, the arrow was like a comet, accurately piercing through the lock window of the painting halberd and shooting straight into the sky.

All eyes were on the arrow, seeing it getting thinner and disappearing into the silvery clouds.

Boom, another thunder!
The sword fairy kept laughing, and he was still hovering in the air.

Except for Qingyun, King Wei and a few others, the faces of the spectators around were covered with black lines.

But Zu Dianzhi continued to concentrate on calculating as if nothing had happened, and raised his halberd again.
"Come again!"

Liu Xinwu still didn't have any doubts, asked for the arrow and shot again.

After doing this three times, even the king of Wei could see a little sweat on his forehead.

The halberd was raised for the fourth time, but Liu Xinwu's expression was still determined.

She has practiced archery for many years and knows how difficult it is to hit a target from a hundred paces away.

Repeating the same action without getting the desired result is a normal process of practicing archery.

Don't say four times, even forty times, four hundred times...

Without thousands of repetitions, it is impossible to master the archery skills of Baibu Yang.

Since she chooses to believe in Tiezhi, she will believe it to the end!
The goal is illusory, lost, is the normal state, medium, that is the result of the combined effect of human fortune and fortune.

Her hands were steady, her eyes were firm, and with a whoosh sound, Fei Ya came out through the window again, furiously towards the sky!

Boom!Another thunderclap!
The whole sky is bright with snow,
People can't see the arrow light at all,

But the arrow light stubbornly reflects the majestic power of the sky,

Draw a silvery white arc and shoot into the depths of Yunshan.

"""""Knock on the blackboard time"""""

We haven't finished talking about the ancient people's food basket.That day we listed Miss Mochou’s works in the article, including: Beef Wrapped Black Bean Balls, Jujube Stuffed Meat, Basil Mixed Cabbage, Braised Eggplant, Scallion Steamed Potatoes, Honey Ginger, Raw Lotus Root, Stewed Chicken with Flat Tips, Served with Seaweed Egg Flower Dried Shrimp Soup.There are many dishes here, all of which challenge some "experts"' perception of the ancients' food basket.Let us once again hold up the precious book, the agronomy work of the Southern and Northern Dynasties - "Qi Min Yao Shu", to take a look at those who only believe in the "Columbus exchange" and "false" one-sided words of the western historians, but have no understanding of the classic books of their own country. "Expert" character.

First of all, let's talk about black rice balls. Why did you choose this dish?Because "Qi Min Yao Shu" indicates the source of this dish-"Shi Jing Chi Wan": ten catties of mutton, ten catties of pork, sliced, three liters of ginger, five leaves of orange peel, two liters of Tibetan melon, white onion Five liters, pounded together, like a pellet.Don't use five catties of mutton as meatballs, but boil them with balls and make them into balls.

"Qi Min Yao Shu" has a lofty status in modern times, but it is not the earliest culinary monograph, at least "Shi Jing" is ahead.What is the origin of this canon?It was written by Cui Hao, a famous official in the early Northern Wei Dynasty, according to the oral records of his mother Lu Shi.Qinghe Cui and Fan Yanglu were both leaders of the Chinese family at that time, and they were intermarried from generation to generation.The practice of this black bean ball is a standard Han family dish. We can see that when making the balls, the factor of elasticity has been taken into account.Minced pork and mutton, onion and ginger spices, it looks delicious.

Jujube, eggplant, basil, scallion, honey ginger (including the method), lotus root, bamboo shoot tips, these are all ingredients recorded in "Yaoshu", let's skip it first, and focus on some that are more controversial in the world species.

Cabbage, which seems to be very popular recently, "Legend" is native to the Mediterranean region.It was called "Turnip" and "Feng Cai" in ancient China ("Shuowen" records that Fen is both turnip).Turnip has a special entry in "Yaoshu", and fencai has entered the Central Plains in the Spring and Autumn Period: "Poetry·Beifeng·Gufeng", "Picking fennel and fei, no following style".Bei, in what is now Henan.Therefore, the history of cabbage planting in the Central Plains dates back to Spring and Autumn.Because it is a bulbous plant, in the Han Dynasty, people planted it in the year of locust disaster to survive. "Book of the Later Han Emperor Huan Ji" In June of the second year of Yongxing (AD 154), the plague of locusts caused damage, and the affected counties were ordered to plant turnips to help people eat.It can be seen that the turnips at that time had been out of the wild and entered the state of artificial cultivation.This is earlier than the history of artificial planting in France, the main European turnip producing area.

Next we talk about potatoes.As soon as you mention potatoes, you will be able to jump out of various experts. Even if you don’t mention the "Columbus Exchange", the yield of potatoes can be measured in tons per mu. If there is such a crop in the Central Plains, how can it be so easy to starve to death?Therefore, in the online literary world, especially in the historical online literary world, most of the novels involving time travel must use potato stems.Potatoes are born, and the world is full of food and clothing.At this time, Jia Sixie refused to accept it.

First of all, we have to explain that potatoes belong to taro. "Shuowen", big leaves and solid roots, scary, called taro.Taro generally refers to underground tuber crops.Even now, potatoes are called, yam, yam, yam.There are some well-known native taro species, such as yams, etc., which have nothing to do with potatoes, and botanically, they are also very distantly related.A close relative of the potato is actually the eggplant...why say that?Because we first put aside the relationship, it is easier for us to distinguish the true from the false.There is a huge difference between potato and potato (potato), mainly as follows?

One, Yam Yams are herbaceous and have no aboveground stems; potatoes have aboveground stems.

Second, the potato tubers are uneven, large and small, and they were called many sons in ancient times.Potato tubers are relatively uniform in size.

Third, the yield of potatoes per mu is high.

With this understanding, let's look for agricultural records again,

"Qimin Yaoshu Planting Taro No. 16" quotes "Guangzhi" of the Western Jin Dynasty: Shu Han is rich in taro, and the people think it is a capital.Where the fourteenth class: There is a gentleman taro, as big as a bucket, and as tall as a pestle.There is the car hub taro, the saw taro, the side giant taro, and the green side taro: these four taro have many seeds.There is a talk about good taro, which is as big as a bottle and has few sons; the leaves are like loose lids and are cyanotic; the purple stems are more than ten feet long; easy to ripen, long-flavored, the best taro; Naishita.There are vine taro, which are grown on edge branches, and the larger ones are two or three liters.There are chicken taro, yellow in color.There are marigold taro, which are big and have many seeds, and they can harvest hundreds of dendrobium per mu.

Tanshan taro, big, few sons (uniform), leaves like scattered covers, purple stems! (With above-ground stems!) Tastes best and is the tastiest of roots.How much per mu?This species is not mentioned, but there is a species called chicken taro, which can produce hundreds of dendrobium per mu.Ten buckets of dendrobium is originally a unit of volume, but when converted into a hundred dendrobium of rice, it is more than two tons!Combined with the three points we summarized above, this Tanshan taro is more similar to potatoes, at least it is delicious!high yield!It fully possesses the value significance of potatoes in agriculture.There is no need for potatoes to save the famine in the Central Plains.

"Guangzhi" is not the earliest record of high-yield taro. The "Book of Fansheng" in the Han Dynasty is the ancestor of agricultural books: planting taro, the area is three feet deep. ...One area received three stones.

In fact, there were taro with high yield per mu in the Han Dynasty. There are not many details, so we don’t make wild guesses, but the yield per mu can be calculated.Here it is said that one area of ​​taro planting is three feet.Take three stones.Yield per mu is also measured in tons.

There is a lot to say about potatoes, and I didn’t leave too much space for the most popular seaweed, so let’s just quote the original text and explain it thoroughly: "Yaoshu Volume Ten", seaweed, seaside mountains in Wudu, all raw seaweed.And "Wu Du Fu" says, "Lun group seaweed" also. "Erya" notes, "Lun, today there is a green silk fiber that is brought by a rank stingy man. The group is also the ribbon. The grass in the sea is the one that grows in color and looks like it, because it is named for it." That is to say, the Shanghainese in ancient times (Well, there was no Shanghai at that time, anyway, it was the mouth of the Yangtze River.) Seaweed had been fished from the sea for a long time and eaten before the Han Dynasty (the time when "Erya" was written).

We can see that the growth signs of the dishes listed in this article can basically be traced back to before the Han Dynasty, and they have solid hammers in the Southern and Northern Dynasties.This is mainly because of the summary of "Yaoshu" into a book. There are many varieties of vegetables, melons and fruits recorded in "Yaoshu", many of which we modern people do not know how to correspond to modern names.But it is conceivable that the choice of cooking dishes for the ancients was not much scarcer than it is now.
