Chapter 229 Suddenly (revised)

As he delved deeper into Yuan Fu, Ying Yi realized more and more mysteries. Not just alloy refining.

The Yuan Qi Plan is based on the Book of Changes and is rooted in the vast ocean of Yuan Qi circulating in the universe. This is the principle of the Yuan Qi Plan. The Yuan Fu evolved through the Book of Changes, and the Yuan Qi formed using the Yuan Fu as a means, are used.

Yuan Qi's principles are too profound and cannot be pried into by Ying Yi for the time being. To directly attack Yuan Qi's truth is to have a commanding position, and Ying Yi is far from qualified. But we can start from ‘use’ and trace back from the side branches to the main trunk.

By observing and experiencing the operation of the elements, we can reversely deduce the operating principle of the corresponding element combination, so as to understand the mystery of the element combination, so that we can change the element combination, or even restore it to the original, and understand each element. secret.

And with the help of current practitioners' methods, at the superficial stage, one can achieve the effect of a stone from another mountain.

While the new alloy was gaining momentum, Ying Yi also had a deeper understanding of the operating principles of the Bafang Pagoda and the Diji Instrument. At least if we make these two kinds of weapons now, it will be much easier than before.

The backyard of Ying Mansion.

Ying Yi was wearing simple clothes, rolled up his sleeves, and was inscribing yuan symbols on a gold and yuan alloy plate. He was concentrating, holding the jade pen in his hand, moving his wrist without shaking his hand, moving the clouds like running water, and wisps of golden light fell from the tip of the pen onto the gold-yuan alloy plate, leaving behind clusters of brilliant cloud patterns.

Chen Yuanyuan and Li Xiangjun stood aside and found Ying Yi's concentrated appearance so attractive.

The faint sunset has gradually set in the west, and when Lingling comes, the kitchen has already prepared dinner.

Chen Yuanyuan called Ying Yi softly, and Ying Yi made the last stroke, put down the alloy plate and jade pen, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"The sun goes by very quickly."

Ying Yi stood up with a smile: "It's evening now."

Li Xiangjun said: "The master is so focused that he doesn't notice the time at all."

Ying Yi held Chen Yuanyuan and Li Xiangjun's forearms and said with a smile: "I will go north in April, so I will take advantage of my free time to build an Octagonal Pagoda. If possible, Di Jiyi will also build one."

The three of them walked slowly, and Ying Yi felt the warmth and fragrance of the warm bodies on both sides of his body, and said: "For example, the Bafang Pagoda and the Diji Yi are necessary things. A few Fangcheng Mountains alone are far from enough. .”

The Bafang Pagoda is a source of energy, and the Earthly Sacrifice is related to farming, and the ones on Fangcheng Mountain are far from enough. According to Ying Yi's plan, in the future, every government and even county government will have a Bafang Pagoda and a Diji Yi. To meet energy and agricultural needs nearby.

Let’s start with government affairs, such as Kaifeng. Just after March, Ying Yi had more free time, so he took some time every day. Firstly, he started in Kaifeng, and secondly, it was also a practice-trying the possibility of changing the combination of Yuanfu of Bafang Pagoda and Diji Yi. .

However, Chen Yuanyuan and Li Xiangjun didn't care about the Bafang Pagoda and Di Ji Yi. They care more about some small objects that Ying Yi made for them out of gold and yuan alloy.

"My master said the day before yesterday that I would make a hairpin for me." Chen Yuanyuan said angrily, "The hairpin I made is really cute. I am looking forward to it very much."

Li Xiangjun chuckled: "Master is doing business."

Ying Yi laughed loudly: "The new coins are made of gold-yuan alloy, which is suitable for making personal items. I just tried it before, but I didn't expect it to suit your taste."

The attendants had already laid out the delicacies, set the table, poured rice and wine, and then called Lingling and Shuang'er to serve together.

Usually Ying Yi doesn't care about any rules, not to mention that Shuang'er and Lingling are also his.

Talking and laughing casually, during the meal, Chen Yuanyuan said: "Is the master going to go on an expedition again next month?"

Then he said: "Aren't there Zhu Bingkun and the others? Why should I go in person?"

Ying Yi laughed and shook his head, took a sip of wine and said: "It is not easy to advance northward. It is okay to destroy the Ming Dynasty, but the Tatars outside the pass cannot be underestimated. If the Tatars are allowed to easily enter the pass, I don't know how many people will suffer."

Hearing this, Li Xiangjun nodded in agreement: "Master, I heard that the Tatars are powerful. They say that if there are less than ten thousand Tatars, they are invincible."

Ying Yi said: "It's just spreading rumors. In the Yan and Huang Xia for thousands of years, the flames of war have accompanied the rise and fall of the Tartars. But have you noticed that when the Tartars prosper, it is the time when the Xia fall. Once the Xia prospers, the Tartars will Even if you are a dog, you can't get a captive. When the Zhou Dynasty was weak, the barbarians invaded from within, and Duke Huan of Qi and the nine princes united to control the world. When the Xiongnu rose during the Qin Dynasty, weren't they driven three thousand miles north by Meng Tian? In the early Han Dynasty, the people's livelihood was in decline, so there were Bai Deng's siege, and when the Han Dynasty prospered, there were still wolves living in Xu; then, whether it was the Five Husties' rebellion in China or the turn of the Tang and Song Dynasties, when the Tartars invaded the country, the Tartars prospered and the Chinese state declined. If the Chinese state prospered, No matter how prosperous the Tartars are, if they want to invade, it will only be an egg against a stone."

For example, in the Ming Dynasty, if there was no so-called Little Glacier, and if the government could be a little clearer, what could Manta do? Just with his tens of millions of people?

"Tatars preach that they are invincible, which is how to suppress others with their voice." Ying Yi said: "If that's all, it's okay. But it's a shame that the government is decadent and the border troops are incompetent. They help them to advocate together, and use the Tatars' We are powerful to argue against their incompetence - it’s not that we are not powerful, it’s that the enemy is too awesome. Even if we brag about it, it’s become true.”

Chen Yuanyuan and Li Xiangjun couldn't help covering their mouths in surprise after hearing this.

Chen Yuanyuan asked: "Is that so?"

Ying Yi smiled and said: "If not, do you really think that Tatar's copper head and iron arm are useless?"

He said: "This time I am going north to let the Tatars see how powerful I am. Are they invincible? I will make them bleed like rivers!"

The concubines all laughed.

...

By mid-March, Ying Yi completed an eight-sided pagoda. This Bafang Pagoda is slightly different from the previous Bafang Pagoda.

The previous Bafang Pagoda, whether it was a defective product or a later genuine product, was all made by Ying Yi according to the gourd painting method.

This time, some minor changes were made based on understanding.

The effect of the change made Ying Yi extremely satisfied - the efficiency of absorbing Yuan Qi in this Bafang Tower was half a percent higher than that of the genuine product.

This is the result.

Although the improvement is not large, it means that Ying Yi's understanding of Yuan Fu is correct.

As long as we study in this direction, a high-level Octagonal Tower will definitely be born. There is no doubt about this.

Just as Ying Yi was preparing to make the Ji Yi, unusual news came urgently from the army.

"Don't rush."

Ying Yi comforted the messenger, had someone pass him some water, and said calmly: "The sky won't fall."

The messenger soldier took a few gulps of a bottle of water, calmed down a lot, beat his chest and clasped his fists, and then delivered the news one by one.

Li Huan's troops originally stationed in Tongguan encountered some puzzling troubles. Of course, this trouble may not be small, otherwise Li Huan would not be so anxious to ask for help.

Since six days ago, three or five sentries outside Tongguan have repeatedly failed to return and disappeared for no reason. Li Huan sent people to investigate. The person was found, but it was a corpse. He did not know the cause of death - there were no wounds and he died peacefully.

This situation has continued until now. Dozens of people have lost their lives inexplicably. Li Huan couldn't hold it anymore. He guessed that someone else was causing trouble, so he had to send people back to ask for help.
