The method of alchemy is quick to learn, but as the saying goes, practice is the only criterion for testing truth.
How well you can learn it can only be known by practicing it with real swords and guns.
But problems also arise.
"Now that the Tang Dynasty is about to perish, how can I obtain this national destiny?"
Chi Yao asked Yuan Tiangang.
Judging from the fact that Yuan Tiangang is still alive, it is obvious that the national destiny of the Tang Dynasty has not completely died out, but now that the five major vassal states have been separated and there is no central government, it is really not shameless to say that the Tang Dynasty is still alive.
This state of being dead but not completely dead gave Chi Yao a headache.
Because if he wants to use the national fortune to make elixirs, he must become a third-rank or above official of the Tang Dynasty, but now he can't find anyone who can give orders in the name of the Tang Dynasty to do this. However, those five vassal states were unable to replace the Tang Dynasty in doing this because they had not completely condensed their own national destiny.
After all, even the titles they received were given by Emperor Tang.
"Old Yuan, what is the rank of the bad guy captain?"
"Bad people have low weight but low status. Except for me, there is no position that can affect the fate of the country."
Yuan Tiangang shook his head. In fact, even if he was able to influence the fate of the country, it was not because of his status as a bad commander, but because his original official position in the Taishi Bureau reached the third rank.
This Taishi Bureau was not an official office for compiling history, but the predecessor of the later famous Si Tianjian. It was responsible for testing astronomy, determining calendars, selecting dates for sacrifices, crown weddings and other major ceremonies, etc.
However, he also gave his own suggestions: "The theory of national destiny is not unique to the Tang Dynasty. Now that the Central Plains has no owner, it is difficult to seek for it. Why not look outside?"
"What are you referring to?" Chi Yao was thoughtful.
"There are many foreign countries in the four regions of the Tang Dynasty, but not many can unite a strong national destiny. The Uighurs in the north, oh, it is now called Jiajiasi, the Tibetans in the west, and the Nanzhao are also barely able to do so. All three can give it a try .”
When it comes to the situation in the world, Yuan Tiangang talks eloquently, as if he has everything under control.
"...This is not a bad idea."
Chi Yao took out the map and looked at it, and found that it was true. Even in terms of land area alone, these two foreign countries were not much smaller than the Central Plains. They just didn't have enough fertile land.
Besides, since you don’t eat the elixir you made, you don’t have to worry about which country’s luck you use.
Seeing the gleam in his eyes, Yuan Tiangang knew that Chi Yao had chosen a target and asked, "Where have you decided to go?"
Chi Yao pointed his finger at a point north of the map and spit out three words: "Xiajiasi."
…
…
Xijiasi is actually the original Uighur. It was only changed its name because the Uighur Khanate was destroyed by one of their tribes.
Choosing it is mainly related to the route Chi Yao plans to take next.
Because it was impossible for him to serve as an official in the royal courts of the two countries, he could only take the religious circuitous route, which was popularly known as a national preceptor.
No matter which country they are in, national masters start at least first-grade, and most are even super-grade, with extremely high status, although they have no actual power in their hands.
However, Chi Yao didn't originally intend to ask for any power. It was enough to have this honorable name and be able to share the fate of the country!
In this regard, it is necessary to analyze the sectarian forces in their countries.
There are two religious forces in Chigas, namely Manichaeism and Shamanism.
Manichaeism, later known as Mingjiao and Zoroastrianism, originated from Persian Zoroastrianism.
Shamanism is also known as primitive religion. Its teachings are that all things are animistic and worship nature, animals and ancestral gods.
These two sects have been fighting endlessly for believers, especially since the country of Xijiasi was established not long ago after the Uighurs were destroyed. The balance of various forces in the country has not been completely stabilized, so it is easier to rise to a high position.
The two most popular religions in Tubo are Buddhism and Yongzhongben Religion.
After some weighing, Chi Yao felt that with his own methods, it would be more suitable to pretend to be a master of shamanism.
…
…
Woo——woo——
The howling wind sounded like the scream of a ghost, floating over a vast white grassland.
As a country dominated by nomadic people, Xijias also have to migrate in winter, because the grasslands in the north have turned into ice sheets and they cannot graze cattle and sheep. Without cattle and sheep, they would have no food. If they did not migrate, they would have to wait to die.
Of course, although it is a collective migration, it is not possible for everyone to gather together and move together.
Firstly, it was because the Steppe Khanate did not have the centralization ability like the Central Plains Dynasty. Secondly, it was also because there was not enough water and grass to eat if they gathered together, so they had to spread out to find areas that could meet the survival needs of their own tribes.
On this day, the herdsmen of the Julu Mohe tribe were setting up camp in the wind and snow. Suddenly, they found a figure looming in the vast snow. Not long after, they crossed the boundless snow and came to the big tent of themselves and others. .
Of course, this wasn't what shocked them the most.
They would be surprised if it was an embarrassed person wrapped in a thick fur coat, with his face red from the cold, and his nose condensing into icicles all over his face. After all, some people do get separated from their tribes in the wind and snow. If they are lucky, they may find other tribes to ask for help.
But this man is different.
Not to mention the leather jacket, he only wore a short brown shirt, and even his forearms and legs were not completely covered, but his face was rosy and plump, and he didn't look like he was cold at all.
and……
"Look, is there no snow around him?"
Someone had sharp eyes and whispered in a low voice.
Immediately, the news spread from one to ten, and the entire Julu Mohe tribe was alarmed.
Until a strong man with a gorgeous fur coat and many gems on his body appeared, lined up the crowd, took two steps forward, and walked to Chi Yao's side.
At this moment, the wind stopped and the snow stopped, and it felt like heaven.
The man was stunned and half-knelt on the ground, and said in an excited and pious tone: "Your Majesty the Wizard, my name is Julu Mohe. Please accept our offering and bless our Julu Mohe tribe to survive this winter smoothly."
Chi Yao couldn't understand what he said and couldn't speak it, but with his heart, not only was there no obstacle to communication, but when Chi Yao's words directly rang in the heart of Julu Mohe, his expression became even more intense. fanaticism.
"There is no need to make offerings, but since we meet here, it is fate. May the spirit of wind and snow protect you."
As Chi Yao spoke, he secretly activated the ice crystal butterfly hidden in the wind and snow.
[Call the wind and call the snow]!
Hula ~ Hula ~
Invisible strong winds rose from the ground, sweeping away the heavy snow surrounding Chi Yao and Julu Mohe's camps, as if a calm eye of the storm had been carved out in the dense white curtain.
This miraculous scene immediately made everyone in the Julu Mohe tribe kneel down and worship Chi Yao at the same time, as if they were worshiping a god.
Seeing this scene, Chi Yao's lips curled up slightly. The first step in planning, great success.
