Zhang Tianshi frowned, looked at Xiao Feng, hesitated for a moment, and then took two steps forward. Xiao Feng also walked forward to Zhang Tianshi, whispering softly in his ear.

"This sky thunder is a good thing. The Shenji Camp can't make such a good thing now. The palm thunder is a big firecracker that can explode when thrown. It can kill the pig dragon, so it is quite powerful."

Xiao Feng is telling the truth. The pinnacle of Ming Dynasty's firearms is the three-eyed fire blunderbuss and red cannon developed by the Shenji Battalion, but they can only be used in large-scale wars. This kind of hand-thrown explosive firearm is similar to the grenade of later generations. It is indeed very advanced.

He estimated that Longhushan's research on gunpowder must be the top of the Ming Dynasty in this era. If this kind of gunpowder is used in today's guns, its power will definitely be greatly increased. It is a pity that the Ming Dynasty was not able to use this kind of firearm until the war of subjugation. Is it because Longhushan was scrupulous and did not dare to let the court know this secret?

Zhang Tianshi's expression suddenly changed and he grabbed Xiao Feng's sleeve, fearing that his mouth would be far away from his ears. It's not that he can't hear clearly. Although he is old, his hearing is very good. He was afraid that others would hear him.

But he calmed down instantly. Could it be that Xiao Feng was deceiving him? After all, the sky thunder is suspected to be gunpowder. It has happened before, but it has never been cracked. His face returned to normal, and he even smiled: "What did Master Xiao say? I don't understand."

Xiao Feng said with appreciation: "You must have an ejection device that can eject large firecrackers to a very high position and explode. However, the ejection device is definitely not operated by you. You burn the talisman as a signal. No matter how strong the ejection device is, it will not The law bounced outside the Temple of Heaven to a high position above the main hall. Your disciple should be wearing plain clothes and hiding in the crowd outside the hall. If I let Yu Dayou go around, he might not be able to catch him."

Zhang Tianshi's face fell, and he whispered: "There is smoke when burning gunpowder. How can you hide it from others? Master Xiao has misunderstood."

Xiao Feng nodded and said: "So I admire you very much. This kind of gunpowder is small in size, loud in sound, and can produce very little smoke. It is definitely not just monosulfur, dinitrate, and charcoal. It must be mixed with other things. This The power of planting gunpowder is greater than ordinary black gunpowder, why don't I tell Banzai, he might be interested."

Zhang Tianshi trembled and said quickly: "Master Xiao is so clever and clever, I hope you can show me your noble hand." Of course he did not dare to let Jiajing investigate. If Jiajing really found out, apart from other things, there would be a better gunpowder formula than the current one, but he couldn't keep it privately. If it is handed over to the imperial court, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is rebellion!

Even if Jiajing Chongdao will not destroy Longhu Mountain, at least he, Zhang Tianshi, will be the scapegoat and someone else will be replaced.

Xiao Feng said with a smile: "I don't want to harm you, so if I say anything later, you will cooperate. Don't worry, I will definitely not let you suffer!"

Zhang Tianshi's meat was on the chopping board at this time, and he didn't dare to pull it hard. He kept a smile on his face and nodded repeatedly. The two of them didn't communicate for long, and they were both smiling. The onlookers couldn't hear what they said, and they just thought that the two were talking about the art of talismans, and they seemed to be very speculative.

Jiajing couldn't hear it either, and couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied. However, when discussing Taoism, there are naturally some secrets that are difficult to publicize, and he cannot forcefully interfere. Fortunately, the two people only said a few words and then returned to their respective places.

Xiao Feng said loudly: "If you say which sect I am closest to among Taoist sects, it must be the Fulu Sect." As soon as these words came out, the whole crowd was in an uproar.

It is natural that Taoism is divided into sects. Although they all have the same belief, each family has different interpretations of the classics that have been handed down and different views on the way to practice Taoism, so they are naturally divided into various sects.

But I have never heard of which sect has a good relationship with which sect, or which two sects do not deal with each other. Taoists are in harmony with each other. Everyone practices their own way. If they think they are right, they will not say that others are wrong. Even the most domineering martial arts master would not force others to say that practicing martial arts is good.

Jiajing was also very strange. He glanced at Lu Bing. Lu Bing shook his head and said: "Longhushan and Xiao Feng have no contact in private. I can guarantee that." Jiajing nodded. He originally thought that Xiao Feng had private contact with Zhang Tianshi. If so, At least one game can be guaranteed to be undefeated, which is extra insurance.

Jiajing is very familiar with this kind of power and tactics, and would not think it was wrong. But if that were the case, his impression of the disciples of Master Xiao Feng would be a bit more worldly. At this time, listening to Lu Bing's words, he knew that Xiao Feng still relied on his ability. After all, he felt a little happy and couldn't help but smile.

Zhang Tianshi didn't know why, but his first priority at the moment was to cooperate with Xiao Feng in acting. No matter what Xiao Feng said, he had to be a good compliment, so he smiled and said: "Master Xiao values ​​​​Fulu Sect. I am happy, but I am not happy." I don’t know why?”

Xiao Feng was not just talking nonsense. When Zhang Tianshi was performing a technical task, a page from "Cangjie Heavenly Book" flashed in his mind. He had never paid attention to the words above. The content of the Heavenly Book is vast. Although the entire book is printed in his mind, many contents will automatically emerge and be realized by him only when he needs to use it.

"Do you know where the term 'talented and talented' comes from?" Xiao Feng glanced at everyone in the hall with a smile.

Both the people in the Taoist sect and the onlookers outside the palace are a little confused. People always say this word and are very familiar with it, but few people have thought about this problem.

However, there were many scholars in the audience, and one person said loudly: "This classic comes from Xie Lingyun, a poet of the Southern Dynasty. He once praised Cao Zhi and Cao Zijian during the Three Kingdoms period, 'The world has one stone of literary talent, Cao Zijian only has eight buckets, and I have one bucket, which has been shared from ancient times to the present. A fight.' It is a praise for Cao Zhi and a praise for myself. In fact, although Xie Lingyun is a talented writer, he cannot bear such arrogance."

Xiao Feng looked into the crowd and saw that the person speaking was actually Zhang Juzheng. He couldn't help but smile and wave to him: "What Taiyue said is not bad, but I only know one but not the other. Xie Lingyun is just translating what his predecessors said , do you know?"

Zhang Juzheng was stunned. He only knew this idiom's origin, but he didn't know that there was an earlier origin. At that moment, he raised his hands and said, "I am ignorant and ignorant, please give me some advice from Mr. Xiao." As a leader among scholars, he always kept a distance from Taoism. Although he looked at Xiao Feng differently, he still did not want to address him by his real name.

Xiao Feng said sternly: "It is recorded in the Cangjie Heavenly Book that in ancient times, people were ignorant and ignorant. Occasionally they had some enlightenment, but because there was no written record, it disappeared in an instant. Even though there were many people, it was difficult to work together without words. Therefore, When Cangjie made a word, millet rained down from the sky, and ghosts cried at night. Every time he made a word, millet fell on the roof, and ghosts cried out from under their feet. Corn was a bribe, and ghosts cried out as a threat.

When the immortal master Cangjie created the characters at dawn, there were more than 100,000 characters, a stone of corn had fallen, and the cries of ghosts were deafening. The hut is about to collapse under the weight of the corn, and the ghost's cries are almost shaking his mind. Immortal Master Cangjie knew that he could no longer force it, so he broke his knife and pen and stopped making new characters. The sky will no longer rain corn, and the ghosts will no longer cry and howl.

These more than 100,000 words are the agreement reached by heaven, earth and man. From then on, man is no longer below heaven and earth, but on an equal footing. Standing between heaven and earth! "

Everyone had never heard of such a reason before, and they all felt their hearts trembling, as if they had witnessed the extremely brutal fight that night, and witnessed the struggle of the spirits of all things unwilling to be suppressed by the pressure of heaven and earth. Jiajing could not help clenching his fists in Caiyi Jingshe and looking at Xiao Feng with wide eyes.

It took Zhang Juzheng a long time to recover from the shock: "I just don't know, what does this have to do with the talent?" Everyone turned to Xiao Feng, with expressions of "asking the same question" on their faces.

"The more than 100,000 characters, Master Cangjie divided them into two parts. One part contains 80%, which is the writing learned by scholars all over the world today; the other part only has 20%, which Master Cangjie reserved as characters.

The text contains the auras of heaven, earth and man, which are self-contained and can support the needs of civilization in the world, allowing people to develop and progress and move forward continuously. However, the human spirit is removed from the characters, leaving only the energy of heaven and earth. Therefore, ghosts and gods do not avoid seeing it and can directly communicate with the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth.

Because the characters only account for 80% of the characters created by Master Cangjie, they correspond to the one stone of corn dropped from heaven, which is eight buckets of corn. I already knew this before I attained enlightenment. Confucius also asked about this matter when he consulted Laozi about his knowledge. Therefore, Confucius said that no matter how talented a scholar is, he can only have eight fights, and those two buckets remain in Taoism. "

Everyone sighed, but Master Zhang jumped up excitedly, his face flushed, and his beard trembling as he looked at Xiao Feng: "Could this be the origin of our Taoist Fu Lu Sect? Our Fu Lu Sect is indeed the earliest sect of Taoism!"

Xiao Feng smiled faintly: "That's why I said that the sect I am closest to in the Taoist sect is Fu Lu Sect, because I am a direct disciple of Immortal Master Cangjie."
