Chapter 174 Meridian Mineral Veins
……

"How... are you okay?!"

The high priest raised his finger and pointed at Wu Wen, questioning with a look of disbelief on his face.

"You must be disappointed!"

Wu Wen said with a smile, then leaned over and looked at him face to face: "Not only am I fine, but I have also become the master of the 'Sacrificial Spirit'!"

"impossible!"

The high priest roared, then jumped up and hit the stone statue again with the wooden staff in his hand.

Wu Wen just stood aside and watched quietly.

As the stone chime was struck, the illusion of the human face above his head reappeared.

However, this time it did not target Wu Wen, but instead turned its attention to the high priest.

"You are guilty!"

As the voice fell, a terrifying pressure instantly enveloped the high priest, causing a double blow to him both physically and mentally.

The high priest instantly collapsed to the ground, his eyes were blank, his faith was shattered, and his mind instantly lost support. At this moment, he was like a living dead.

Wu Wen looked up at the sacrificial spirit.

Because the spiritual level of this sacrificial spirit is too low, it can only say this one sentence now.

It is like the lowest level of intelligence. Although it has the ability to think and calculate, it can only follow the rules and perform the simplest actions.

The reason is that the time is too short.

If it is worshipped for hundreds or thousands of years and incorporates more memory information from the priests, it will become like a normal person and have extremely strong spirituality.

Wu Wen lowered his head and looked down at the high priest who was lying on the ground.

Before coming here, Wu Wen's purpose was to take his life, but now his purpose has changed.

Wu Wen picked him up.

The high priest has now suffered a mental breakdown, and it is easier to hypnotize him than an ordinary person.

Wu Wen used the Zhanbo tribe's "God-bewitching Method" to recruit believers on him, directly making him recognize him as the master and making himself the god in his heart.

"God!"

After regaining consciousness, the high priest knelt down respectfully when he saw Wu Wen again.

On the side, Ashina Simo looked at the scene in shock.

"From now on, you must announce to all the Turkic tribes that the sacrificial ceremony will be changed to a small sacrifice per month and a large sacrifice in March." Wu Wen ordered him.

"Yes, God!"

The high priest immediately kowtowed respectfully in response.

"Ashina Simo!"

When Ashina Simo heard Wu Wen calling him, he ran forward immediately.

"I'm going to stay here for a while. You and Cheng Chumo and the others should go back to Wuchuan City first."

Upon hearing this, Ashina Simo did not ask the reason and just followed the order and left.

But after Ashina Simo left, Cheng Chumo listened to his words but did not believe them completely. He went into the mountain and met Wu Wen again. Only after he got the exact order did he really take his men away.

The reason why Wu Wen wants to stay here.

One reason is that he needs to slowly digest the huge amount of memory information he has just acquired.

The second reason is that he wanted to study how this mountain could become a carrier, record various information, and then give birth to sacrificial spirits.

The battle lasted all night.

Wu Wen first lay down under the sacrificial stone statue to rest.

wake up the next day,
Then I saw the high priest waiting by the side, holding the food respectfully.

Under his service, Wu Wen ate some roasted mutton and drank a few cups of tea.

Then he began to wander around in the mountain.

Wherever he went, Wu Wen carefully explored the conditions of the mountains there.

The entire mountain is so huge that Wu Wen would not be able to explore it completely without ten days or half a month.

Therefore, Wu Wen was not in a hurry. He explored bit by bit and digested the huge amount of information in his mind while practicing.

that's it.

unknowingly
More than a month passed. After Wu Wen carefully explored the mountain, he collected a lot of information.

He conducted in-depth simulations and analysis in the interior and finally uncovered the mystery of the mountain.

The reason why the Turks chose this place as a place for sacrifice was entirely because they discovered the uniqueness of this place.

Now, Wu Wen not only confirmed this, but also further analyzed the root cause of this particularity.

The main mineral of this mountain is tourmaline.

Tourmaline is the general name for tourmaline minerals.

It is a ring-structured silicate mineral characterized by the presence of boron and composed of aluminum, sodium, iron, magnesium and lithium.

For example, hemimorphite is a silicate mineral that ranges in color from white to dark blue and has both piezoelectric and thermoelectric properties.

Under Wu Wen's careful investigation.

He discovered that the direction of the tourmaline veins in the mountain was extremely special.

They are not tightly clustered together in large pieces, but are distributed evenly and cleverly in every corner of the mountain like ribbons.

If you carefully trace the veins of these minerals, you will find that they are like a big tree, growing vigorously from deep underground, constantly extending branches.

This structure is strikingly similar to the human meridians or neural networks.

It's like an invisible net that tightly covers the entire mountain.

What’s even more bizarre is that there is a geothermal source hidden beneath the mountain.

Although Wu Wen did not carry out the excavation and witness it with his own eyes, according to his speculation, there is most likely a crack extending from deep underground.

The underground magma surged up along the crack, but did not erupt directly. Instead, it gathered below the surface to form a huge geothermal source.

Under the influence of this geothermal source, hot air continuously rises from the bottom of the mountain.

Under the influence of this continuous high temperature, tourmaline's thermoelectric effect continues to work, constantly generating a weak electric field.

It is the existence of this electric field that makes the entire mountain form a magnetic field with the ability to record information.

When Wu Wen explored and described the special structure of the mine one by one
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

The miraculous craftsmanship of nature!

Mountains, cavities, mineral veins, underground heat sources...

These conditions were cleverly combined together, causing Wu Wen to involuntarily associate them with the human body.

Observe the way of Heaven and watch the actions of Heaven.

Practice self-cultivation according to the movement of celestial phenomena.

Today, this principle also applies to the land beneath our feet.

—

Just when Wu Wen was hiding in Dajin Mountain.

The news that he raided Wuchuan City and captured Tuli Khan had already reached Chang'an.

Li Shimin held the battle report sent by Cheng Chumo in his hands, and for a moment he was a little bit unbelievable.

He had been preparing for more than a year and was about to organize his army to launch an offensive against the Turks, but now he was told that the Turks had been destroyed in a battle led by Wu Wen.

This is really too dramatic!
"Your Majesty, now that Tuli Khan is dead, it is truly a blessing for our Tang Dynasty!"

Wei Zheng was the first to come forward to congratulate him, his words full of joy for victory and recognition of Wu Wen's achievements.

Cheng Yaojin on the opposite side was also smiling, because his son Cheng Chumo also participated in this raid, which undoubtedly added great glory to his Cheng family.

However, as Wu Wen had made such great military achievements, naturally some people came forward to advise him, saying that he had sent troops on his own and failed to follow the emperor's order, which was a crime of disobeying the emperor's order.

These people did not really want to punish Wu Wen for this crime, but wanted to use it to remind Li Shimin to prevent Wu Wen from becoming more powerful than the emperor and threatening the imperial power.

Li Shimin naturally understood their intentions, but he would reward those who had made contributions. However, he had to consider certain issues carefully.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Li Shimin decided to confer the title of Grand Commander of Anbei on Wu Wen and set up a governor's office to commend his outstanding military achievements.

However, he did not promote Wu Wen's title of Marquis, but instead bestowed this honor on Wu Wen's master, Master Zhu Jiu, and granted him the title of Viscount of Wannian County.

At the same time, Li Shimin personally appointed Ashina Simo as the Khan of the Turks, which symbolized that the Turks had officially submitted to the rule of the Tang Dynasty.

In addition, Cheng Chumo and other people who followed the army to fight also received due rewards.
