Chapter 133 The Origin of Gunpowder
Chapter 133 The Origin of Gunpowder (two-in-one please subscribe)
After Zhao Xin left.
Xu Lei then practiced alone.
However, the advancement of cultivation is extremely slow.
Much slower than in previous years.
I don’t know when I will be able to break through and reach the next great realm.
Xu Lei didn't know if it was because he was old.
In the temple, after practicing for three months.
Looking at the progress, there is almost no progress.
Xu Lei simply went down the mountain.
Traveling around the world alone, eating delicious food everywhere.
This feeling of traveling alone is quite good.
With financial freedom, you can eat, drink, and live well wherever you go.
He still has his cultivation level and is not afraid of life safety problems.
When I was on Earth, I had financial freedom and still had time.
But it doesn’t actually mean that you can travel around alone with complete confidence.
After all, some places are still relatively messy.
You may also be persecuted by some local gangsters.
It's better at home, but it's more dangerous abroad.
And there is no absolute security in the country.
Documentaries from various official releases.
As you can see, there are dangers everywhere.
It's just that many people are lucky enough not to encounter those people.
But now in this different world.
Xu Lei had no worries at all.
You can enjoy traveling wholeheartedly.
Just practice casually every day and it will be enough.
Anyway, I have been struggling for more than a hundred years in this life.
It’s okay to take a break.
In the blink of an eye, it was more than ten days later.
this day.
Xu Lei passed through a valley.
I actually encountered bandits blocking the road and robbing me.
This made Xu Lei a little surprised.
Because in the prosperous era, there were basically no bandits.
Although the people have their own hardships, they can all survive and will not become thieves.
Even if some people are brave, they just want to rob.
The imperial court will also vigorously eliminate them.
So in the past hundred years or so.
There are no bandits anywhere.
But I didn't expect it to appear again now.
"Old man, I see you are dressed unusually!"
"Brothers, borrow some money to spend!"
"Pay the money obediently!"
"Stop playing tricks!"
The masked young men were swinging their weapons leisurely in their hands and surrounded Xu Lei who was sitting on a horse.
That's right, Xu Lei didn't ride in a carriage, he just rode a horse.
Taking a horse-drawn carriage is sometimes a bit inconvenient.
For example, if you encounter a bad road.
It is not as convenient as riding a horse alone.
After all, it's not like traveling before, with a woman by your side, so you have to take the woman's feelings into consideration.
Now that I am alone, there is no need to pay so much attention.
Watching these bandits keep getting closer to me.
Xu Lei said nothing.
With an expressionless expression, he simply flicked his fingers and fired out a few rays of mana.
Headshot several bandits directly.
Of the two remaining bandits, one was dumbfounded, his legs trembling and his face pale.
He turned around and ran away.
Xu Lei snapped his fingers again.
He also beat the head of the young man who was dumbfounded on the spot.
Then he galloped on horseback to chase the remaining bandit.
After all, if the distance is too far, it will be a waste of mana.
By the time Xu Lei rode up to him, the young bandit was so frightened that he knelt down.
Knock your head banging.
"Why become a bandit?"
Xu Lei did not kill him directly, but sat on the horse, pulled the reins, looked down from a high position, and asked calmly: "How long have you been working?
Which copycat is it from?
With which king?
How long have you, the king, been fooling around? "
Because Xu Lei wanted to understand what changes had taken place in the current world.
Xu Lei recalled that when the Great Shang Dynasty was established, he seemed to be around seventy or eighty years old in his first life?
He couldn't remember a little bit.
Yes, even though it had been so many years, Xu Lei couldn't remember exactly how old he was at that time when he thought about it.
After Dashang was established, Xu Lei remembered that he still lived for decades.
Add to this the thirty years of the reincarnation, plus the one hundred and forty-eight years of the second life.
Therefore, it has been about two hundred years since the founding of the Great Shang Dynasty.
"Is this dynasty already beginning to decline?"
Xu Lei thought to himself: "The era of peak prosperity has passed?"
"Sir, please forgive me, sir."
The young bandit cried and cried: "We have no way to survive, the land belongs to the princes and nobles.
I work hard on the land all year round, and after paying the land rent, I still don’t have enough to eat..."
Listen to what he said.
Xu Lei probably had a judgment in his mind.
It turns out that the feudal kings became big.
At that time, Shang Yin rose up in rebellion because it was persecuted by corrupt officials.
He himself was indeed cruel to corrupt officials.
Moreover, this trend of national policy has also been established.
But there is always someone in charge of the country.
If you don't trust the officials, you will trust the royal family members.
So over the years, the royal family's children have been entrusted to various places and have become bigger.
This kind of thing has not happened before in the ancient history of the earth, so Xu Lei is not surprised.
Different world, same humanity.
Then, Xu Lei shot the young bandit in the head with another snap of his fingers.
Although he described himself as very pitiful.
But people who beg for mercy will do this to gain sympathy.
Some of what he said should be true.
But judging from his ugly face when he came to rob him today, he must have done a lot of bad things.
Now that Xu Lei has been offended, Xu Lei will definitely not let him go.
After that, Xu Lei thought about it.
Turned the horse's head.
Go in another direction.
He did not continue in the original direction.
Because it is possible that the lord of this place has a different intention.
But it may not be available elsewhere.
Facing the dispute between the feudal king and the royal family.
Xu Lei is not interested in participating now.
He chose to be alone.
He is a monk, not a savior.
In the blink of an eye, it was three days later.
Unexpectedly, Xu Lei, who did not want to conflict with the bandits, encountered another group of bandits when passing through a forest.
At this time, these bandits were masked and armed with knives, and they were surrounding a group of people and killing them.
Killed all the men.
Only some women survived.
Xu Lei was a little helpless, turned the horse's head and wanted to leave.
But I didn't expect that I hadn't even taken a few steps.
Several bows and arrows shot towards Xu Lei.
It was this group of people who didn't want to let Xu Lei leave.
Xu Lei couldn't help but frown.
Under normal circumstances, the bandits masked themselves and robbed a group of passers-by. When the passers-by saw them, they retreated far away, so the bandits probably didn't have to silence them.
In addition, these bandits were well-established in their advance and retreat, and their attacks were precise. They seemed to be no ordinary bandits.
However, Xu Lei had already guessed before that the appearance of bandits in various places might have something to do with the local vassal king.
So it wasn't too strange at this point.
Just a little speechless.
He originally didn't want to care.
I just want to travel around.
But that's obviously not possible now.
The group refused to let him go.
"Lotus Flower Piece, go!"
Xu Lei no longer hesitated, his magic power vibrated, and he swung the bow and arrow away.
At the same time, with a movement of his fingers, two treasure pieces flew out due to mana power.
Whistling away.
Sharp cutting air.
First, he cut off the two arrows that were shot at him.
Then he scratched the necks of the two bandits.
The other bandits were shocked.
But I haven't reacted yet.
Several more bandits had their necks wiped.
Everyone who was left was frightened and retreated quickly.
But one of them can no longer escape.
Because the lotus treasure piece has arrived in front of him.
He could only slap the big knife in his hand.
I want to blow away the lotus treasure pieces.
But the lotus piece suddenly froze in the air on the way.
Let his broadsword pass through the air next to him.
Then the lotus treasure piece suddenly accelerated according to Xu Lei's movements.
Cut directly through his neck.
He flew forward again and killed a bandit who was trying to escape with his back on his back.
Cut directly from the back of the neck.
Almost slicing his neck open.
At this time, Xu Lei had killed most of the bandits.
Some of the remaining bandits trembled in fear and fled.
These bandits actually held shields.
Let's get a lotus treasure piece that is difficult to attack.
However, with the cooperation of the two parties, these bandits fell one by one.
In short, the lotus flower slices streaks of transparent and beautiful light in the sky.
All these bandits fell to the ground with blood spurting from their necks.
Finally, Xu Lei waved all the lotus treasure pieces back.
At this time, these women who were about to fall into the hands of bandits just now.
Everyone was stunned on the spot, looking at each other.
Everyone was shocked and speechless.
Xu Lei was too lazy to say anything to them at this time.
He held the horse under his crotch and rode away.
Xu Lei didn't want the thanks from these women either.
Because Xu Lei didn't mean to save them just now.
It was just because these bandits wanted to kill Xu Lei that Xu Lei fought back.
Now that they are out of trouble, they can go wherever they need to go.
"Hero, hero!"
But unexpectedly, a girl came up from behind on a horse and shouted: "Wait! Please, wait!"
Because Xu Lei was relatively leisurely, he did not run at full speed.
The girl, on the other hand, tried her best to catch up, so she quickly caught up.
She is actually a pretty girl.
Xu Lei had never noticed before that there was such a beautiful woman among that group of people.
"If you want to thank me, just say it."
Xu Lei said calmly: "Although I didn't save your life specifically.
But it saved you anyway.
It’s also appropriate to say thank you.
If it's anything else, don't say anything. "
The girl's face froze.
"The hero's eyes are as bright as a torch."
But she immediately stopped her horse, knelt down and begged: "You can see through this little girl's heart at a glance.
Thank you for saving me just now. I am deeply grateful for your life-saving grace.
Now that I have caught up, in addition to saying thank you, I do have something to ask for.
If it's something ordinary, I don't dare to speak.
But what happened to the little girl involves the dynasty and the country, and the safety of the world is in danger!
To be honest, my father is the local county captain.
Not long ago, my father found out about Prince Ning's wolfish ambitions.
Obtained evidence that he wanted to rebel.
But he was brutally killed.
Now, evidence must be handed over to the capital in order to save the Sheji River..."
"So those bandits just now were actually sent by Prince Ning's Mansion to hunt you down?"
Xu Lei interrupted her and asked: "Those other people just now were actually innocent.
Is it just because I walked with you that I was implicated and suffered disaster?
But what do you mean when you tell me this?
Do you want to say that I have extraordinary strength and mysterious abilities?
So, you think I should also care about the world and the country?
Or do you want to say that everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world?
You don't have to say any more.
Let me tell you the truth.
I am a monk.
Or in other words, I am not the hero you call me.
Rather, he is the so-called immortal cultivator in folklore.
What did you think I relied on to kill those people just now?
Call me a hero? How could an ordinary warrior have such power?
Monks have no involvement in the worldly world.
I am not a mortal.
The rise and fall of dynasties, the safety of the country?
I don't pay attention to any of these. "
"Immortal cultivator?"
The girl's expression was shocked: "Yes, what you did just now is indeed extraordinary.
So, what does this great immortal do before you are willing to help?
Is there any way you can help now?
Is it really impossible? "
"It's not impossible for me to help."
Xu Lei looked at her delicate and pretty face and said, "Let's do this.
I can give you a chance.
You still look pretty good.
It can be said that it has caught my eye.
Now I am short of a maid.
If you are willing, you will serve me for the rest of your life.
Let me explain in advance, she is not an ordinary maid.
It's you who want to be my woman!
Give as much as you want throughout your body!
So, I can help you resolve this matter.
This is a deal.
Don't say anything, for the sake of justice.
In addition to the justice of the world, you probably also want to avenge your father, right?
Don't you have any selfish motives?
If you want to get something, you have to pay something.
There is something to do with home.
This is the way the world is.
It is impossible to get something for free without paying. "Xu Lei said it on a sudden whim.
Previously, Zhao Xin suddenly cooled down her enthusiasm for Xu Lei and left Xu Lei.
To be honest, Xu Lei actually felt a little weird.
But Xu Lei didn't even think about forcibly tying Zhao Xin to his side.
But now that Zhao Xin has left.
Xu Lei felt that it was not impossible to have one or two women accompanying him.
Xu Lei's body has only aged to about sixty years old.
Coupled with the fact that he possesses the Phoenix True Fire, his ability in giving naturally still exists.
Although not as strong as when he was young.
But it won't be enough to lose combat effectiveness.
Zhao Xin might just be tired of Xu Lei.
Just like a couple on Earth after seven years of marriage.
Not that each other has lost that ability.
But suddenly, the feelings cooled down.
There are couples like this on earth who get back together again.
Xu Lei didn't know if he and Zhao Xin would get back together again.
Xu Lei doesn't know either.
He didn't want that much.
Isn’t this delicate, pure and fresh girl in front of me delicious?
"what?"
The girl was shocked and said: "I, you, want me to be your woman?
This, this, this...you, me...
Are you not a monk?
Why do you still need a woman to serve you?
Monks generally have to..."
She blushed and became very confused.
Because she is now being hunted by King Ning.
With her current strength, she definitely can't escape.
In fact, she had been desperate before.
But Xu Lei's strength gave her hope.
I originally thought Xu Lei was a knight and a righteous man.
I can help for the sake of justice.
Unexpectedly, Xu Lei would not accept this trick at all.
But Xu Lei now looks in his sixties.
She is a cardamom girl who is as beautiful as flowers and jade, and she is also a yellow-flowered girl. She really couldn't accept it for a while.
"It's not that I haven't seen women before, and it's not that I haven't seen beautiful women before."
Seeing this, Xu Lei said calmly: "I have had many beautiful women.
There are many beautiful women in the world.
If I want, I can spend a little money.
There are more beautiful girls from ordinary people's families who are willing to accompany them.
Listen clearly, I reward you with this opportunity.
If it hadn't been for my whim, no matter how much you beg me, it would be useless.
I'll count to three. If you don't want to, forget it.
This is also the only chance I give you.
If you don't want to, then I'll turn around and leave.
One, two..."
"I am willing."
At this time, the girl who was biting her lip and saying directly said directly: "I agree.
But you have to get me out of here first.
Send me to the capital.
Wait until this matter is over.
Only then will I... give you... truly... your person. "
Done.
She just cried.
Big tears fell from his eyes.
Just like the heroines chosen by Qiong Yao in the Earth TV series.
Crying is particularly heartbreaking.
Originally she was a happy official lady, but her father was in trouble.
He was killed by King Ning.
The whole family was implicated.
Before he died, his father's only wish was for her to leave, bring the evidence to the capital, and hand it over to the emperor.
Now she can't escape.
And it’s not a question of whether to hand over evidence or not.
If he is captured by King Ning.
She won't survive.
Prince Ning could not let her live just because she was beautiful.
There are many beautiful women in Prince Ning's mansion.
He might have been ruined by Prince Ning's men before, but that's true.
She was lucky enough to survive before because those bandits were greedy for beauty.
He wanted to play with her and then kill her according to King Ning's order.
Otherwise, she would have died before Xu Lei took action.
Xu Lei, who originally thought he was saving people, was a hero.
Unexpectedly, he turned out to be a pervert!
He actually took advantage of others' danger at this time.
Put forward such conditions.
But she still had to accept it.
After all, if she didn't accept it, she would die and her father would be wronged for the rest of his life.
The entire family will be stigmatized after death.
She had no other choice at this moment.
So she agreed.
But she felt so wronged that she burst into tears.
"Why are you crying? It seems you feel wronged?"
Seeing this, Xu Lei said coldly: "If this is the case, then cancel the transaction.
I don't like forcing others.
Make it as if I'm forcing you.
If you feel good about this deal, you can make money.
Then accept it happily.
If you don't want to, don't accept it.
I can find another woman to be a squire. "
"Don't, don't."
The girl continued: "It's not that I'm unwilling, I'm willing.
Immortal, please don’t do this.
I do.
I won’t cry anymore, I won’t cry.
I'm laughing, I'm laughing. "
She wiped her tears with her jade hands and tried to turn her tears into laughter.
Although there was a nice smile on his face full of collagen, the tears in his eyes still couldn't stop flowing down.
But there was no expression of pity or pity on Xu Lei's face.
Just looked at her calmly.
At this time, Xu Lei had to admit it.
Zhao Xin's departure caused some changes in his state of mind.
When she was young, strong, and handsome, Zhao Xin loved herself deeply.
She was old, with deep wrinkles on her face and gray hair, so Zhao Xin just left.
It made Xu Lei feel that women are quite realistic.
If you have value, they will be willing to be with you.
You are worthless and they will not stay for you anymore.
So now since he has value to the girl in front of him, why can't he make demands?
Besides, when a person is old, it is difficult to say that he has to rely on his own charm to capture the other person's heart.
When you are young, others buy your youth with value;
When you get old, you use your value to buy other people's youth.
Very reasonable and normal.
"Shangxian, I'm sorry, I don't want to cry anymore."
The girl added: "But I can't control it.
Also, are you sure there is a solution?
Prince Ning, in this area, covers the sky with one hand.
Is there any way you can help me escape this area?
Heading to Beijing? "
"Of course I have a way."
Xu Lei took out the jade pendant and put it on her neck. At the same time, he gave her a mirror and said, "You will know after you look at your appearance now."
The girl was shocked when she saw it.
Unexpectedly, he turned into a male form.
"The Immortal is indeed extraordinary."
Then she said: "My little girl admires me!"
"My sincerity has been demonstrated."
Xu Lei said: "The next step is up to you."
"what?"
The girl said: "I, I, didn't I say that after going to Kyoto, I... that...?"
"It should be okay to charge a little deposit, right?"
Xu Lei reached out and touched her hair and said, "I'm a little angry now."
"What do you mean?"
The girl blinked innocently and said, "Would you like me to fan you, little girl, to cool you down?"
"..."
Xu Lei was speechless.
I didn't expect that she was so simple and couldn't understand it at all.
In the blink of an eye, it was a few hours later.
Xu Lei and the girl had left the previous mountain forest area and entered the nearest city.
Because Xu Lei discovered that the girl had some injuries on her arms, which could not be treated until she entered the city.
She said that it was when bandits surrounded and killed her.
She tried to escape in a hurry, but accidentally fell and hit her elbow on the ground.
On the busy city streets at this time.
Xu Lei strolled past with the girl wearing a human skin mask.
Because your identity will be checked when you enter the city.
So Xu Lei didn't let her wear the jade pendant, but instead wore a human skin mask.
Adjusted her facial features slightly.
Still quite beautiful.
Although not as beautiful as before.
But there is no other way to hide your identity.
The girl walked beside Xu Lei, covering her mouth with her beautiful hands, silent.
Xu Lei naturally taught her a lesson before, which shocked her greatly.
"I'll touch your head from now on."
Xu Lei said: "Just to ask you to serve, you have to take the initiative. As a maid, you have to understand this yourself.
You can’t have the master personally teach and explain the requirements every time, do you understand? "
"Yes."
The girl nodded and said: "Shangxian, don't worry, Xiaoya knows."
Xu Lei nodded.
He is also very satisfied with the girl.
At this time, he was in a happy mood.
Now he has found an equally beautiful girl who is more tender and well-behaved by his side.
The little depression about Zhao Xin's departure has been vented in the girl's tenderness.
In the blink of an eye, it was another ten minutes later.
Xu Lei directly took the girl named Zhou Ya to the medical center in the city.
Let the doctor at the medical center treat the broken skin on her elbow.
In fact, her injuries were not serious.
Just treat it simply and apply some medicine.
Get her treated by a physician.
Xu Lei walked around casually.
"This is the disease of scabies!"
At this time, Xu Lei saw a white-haired old doctor checking the condition of a patient.
Just listen to what he said: "Just follow the medicine prescribed by the teacher before."
"But Master."
But at this time, a young apprentice said: "The gunpowder in stock seems to be running out.
I'm afraid it's not enough to treat this gentleman..."
Xu Lei was originally very casual and even stretched out.
Hearing this, I couldn't help but feel excited all over.
"What the hell? Gunpowder?"
He said in astonishment: "Gunpowder has already appeared in this world?"
In the blink of an eye, it was a few minutes later.
Xu Lei stopped the old doctor who came out after checking on the patient.
He directly took out a hundred taels of silver notes and said that he wanted to buy the method of making gunpowder.
Because Xu Lei didn't remember this when he was on Earth.
Although he is a time traveler, he doesn't remember all Earth's technologies.
"Sir, do you want to know how to make gunpowder?"
The old doctor was surprised and said: "Are you also a doctor?
This is not a secret that is not told.
You want to, of course.
Moreover, it doesn’t need to be as much as one hundred taels. "
"fine."
Xu Lei said: "If there's any extra, I'll treat you to tea.
By the way, brother, where did you learn how to make gunpowder? "
In the blink of an eye, it was a few minutes later.
After a conversation with the old doctor.
Xu Lei figured out what was going on.
It turned out that this old doctor was the first in the world to discover that gunpowder could be used as medicine.
He got the gunpowder from an old Taoist priest.
The old Taoist priest liked to refine elixirs, and when he failed, he produced gunpowder residue.
When the old doctor was still an apprentice in a medical clinic, he thought the dregs of the Taoist elixir were of any use.
I stole some to study.
Later I found out I couldn't eat it.
But unexpectedly, it was discovered that it can treat some diseases.
So I went to learn how to make it from the old Taoist priest.
The old Taoist priest also did not hesitate to give advice.
As for the old Taoist priest, according to him, he has passed away long ago.
Xu Lei remembered that on the other side of the earth, gunpowder seemed to have been produced by Taoist priests refining elixirs.
However, Xu Lei had only had fun with the gunpowder issue before, and had browsed the relevant information on the Internet.
I didn't write down what kind of materials the gunpowder was made from.
So Xu Lei never made it.
And according to what this old doctor said.
The gunpowder in this world today is only used to treat diseases.
The proportion of its deployment should be such that the explosive power is relatively small.
Xu Lei vaguely remembered that gunpowder can be divided into ordinary black powder and violent gunpowder.
The difference between the two is that the ratio of some materials in the latter is different.
Xu Lei was excited when he thought of this.
What if he could make a powerful gunpowder?
When the time comes, in this era of spiritual cultivation and the end of Dharma, who will he be afraid of?
Don’t be afraid of anyone, and you will offend anyone!
After all, other monks are afraid of consuming mana.
But Xu Lei can directly explode with gunpowder!
As long as ordinary black powder can be developed into powerful gunpowder, its power is enough to consume the mana of other monks!
Xu Lei only needed to spend a small amount of mana and keep throwing gunpowder packets from the Qiankun cloth bag.
Even relying on this, it is not impossible to directly enter the Eastern Wasteland Daze!
"I originally thought that the day I entered the Eastern Wilderness, I might have to wait for me to practice to the last of the three upper realms!"
Xu Lei secretly said: "That may be who knows how many years later.
But now it seems that we may not have to wait that long. "
