While the Buddhists were lighting sandalwood inside and outside the temple and sending a large number of trained monks to patiently greet each pilgrim, two girls dressed mysteriously were looking outside the main square of Pingkangfang. After a moment of hesitation, they One after another, enter slowly.
I saw the girl in plain clothes walking in front, with a face as white as jade and green eyebrows, and a faint smile. No matter how carefully I looked, I couldn't find any small flaws that could ruin her perfection. On the contrary, The more I look at her, the more I feel the dazzling elegance revealed by her indescribable beauty.
"I have always heard that Lu Miaozi is known as the most skilled craftsman in the world, but I never expected that he is equally skilled in gardening."
"Although the huge square is divided into many pieces, and the types and styles of the exhibits are different, it overall gives people a sense of harmony. Just the flowers and plants decorated at the corners can be seen, and the scenery is adapted to the situation. , like the finishing touch.”
Not long after arriving at the square of Pingkangfang from the vicinity of Todaiji Temple, Hanhan gathered her martial arts aura and exuded an ethereal and non-existent quality. She quietly blended into the crowd, and after observing for a while After the meeting, he secretly sent a message to his junior sister Bai Qing'er behind him:
"Compared with this 'exposition', which is full of uniqueness and originality, the lecture conference held by Buddhism for this purpose has nothing new. It's just that there are four more holy monks sitting there, and they are more willing to spend money for publicity than in the past. In essence, it is no different from ordinary legal affairs.”
While she was speaking, she was concentrating on the two most conspicuous huge curtains in the distance, which were five feet long and three feet wide. She seemed to be attracted by the rapidly changing pictures on them, and she was thoughtful in her heart.
"Senior sister, are you saying that Zhao Qing's side, who murdered Master a month ago, not only invited Lu Miaozi to set up the scene, but also has a higher chance of winning in this competition?"
Bai Qing'er shook the folding fan in her hand and replied with a somewhat disbelieving tone. Her shiny black hair was hanging down, which made her beautiful face look as beautiful as snow, and also had a bit of a heart-stopping charm like Wu Huan. .
On the whole, this woman's attire is elegant and pleasant, giving people the impression of being solemn and reserved. Although she lacks the thrilling shock, she has an approachable and friendly feeling.
Although Hanwan and Bai Qing'er pretended to be aristocratic ladies who sneaked out, even though they were bleeding, as long as you pay attention to the glossy color of their hair, you will know that her body is not as weak as her appearance, and she has Exquisite internal strength cultivation.
After a period of inquiring, the two of them naturally found out about Zhu Yuyan's death, as well as the news that Liufu Casino was razed to the ground, and that this area was taken over by new forces and transformed into the square where the expo is held today. They speculated that the Yingui Sect The catastrophe is most likely related to Zhao Qing's side occupying this place.
There was some doubt that Huanhan, who had a much deeper relationship with Zhu Yuyan than she did, actually spoke for the enemy like this. Bai Qing'er was also stunned for a moment, thinking that the Yingui sect with only a few people left had no hope of revenge. She sighed softly and replied :
"Having said that, Buddhism has laid such a deep foundation over the years and is willing to give away valuable Buddhist statues and scriptures to participants. Zhao Qingfang just added a little more freshness and arranged these so-called 'exhibits' , can we attract more people?”
"Actually, considering that you can browse through the exhibits here for a few hours, and the tens of thousands of Buddhist scriptures can be talked about for several months, even if the crowd here is not left behind for the time being, they still insist on It won’t take long, and we will eventually lose to the Buddhist side.”
"Junior sister Qing'er, how do you know that the exhibits here are all Zhao Qing relies on to win the competition, and not something else? Is she really not clear about the advantages and disadvantages of the expo?" Huan Huan's eyes changed, He said calmly:
"There is no greater achievement in life than to establish a dynasty and establish hegemony as an immortal emperor for thousands of generations. But unifying the demonic path, fighting for the world, and unifying the ten volumes of "Tian Mo Ce" has always been the highest ideal of our holy sect."
"During this period, there has been a lot of news: The evil emperor Xiang Yutian only faked his death thirty years ago, and was reborn recently. He cured Lu Miaozi's injuries, and thus obtained the treasures of Yang Gong's treasury, and declared that he intends to collect Qi's "Heavenly Demon Strategy" unifies the path of demons, and plans to change the word 'mo' to 'mo'."
"On Zhao Qing's suggestion, Xiang Yutian expressed that most of the people in the current Demon Sect have done too much evil, and only a very small number are qualified to join the new 'Mo Sect'. Therefore, only young people under the age of twenty are allowed to abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side. , after passing the examination and becoming his disciple, you will be able to teach the 'Holy Emperor's Secret' and even the 'Dao Heart Demonic Planting Technique'."
"Considering that Zhao Qing's martial arts cultivation and overall power are superior to Xiang Yutian, as well as the obvious cooperative relationship between the two parties, this 'Momen' should also be regarded as her subordinate. Then, the achievements that Zhao Qing is about to achieve are actually as good as It is worth realizing the highest ideal of our holy sect.”
"So, in just a few months, we have accomplished something that countless outstanding ancestors of the Holy Sect have not been able to accomplish for thousands of years. How could such a capable person not think of this and fail in the competition with the Buddhist sect?" How about to leeward?”
I saw Huanwen slowly moving forward following the flow of the crowd, looking at the several pottery wheels on display nearby that could be seen from left to right with repeated improvements and simple styles, as well as the introduction of their development history on the side. As he wrote the words, he was thoughtful in his heart, shrugged his shoulders slightly, and said casually:
“In my opinion, although these exhibits in the square are not full of jewels and rare treasures, their value is by no means as simple as being a novelty, but has a profound historical connotation. It’s enough to keep anyone who can relate to reading it multiple times.”
"Not to mention, unlike the four great holy monks who showed up early to give lectures, Zhao Qing himself has not yet appeared in public. It is very possible that in that enclosed area, he is preparing new things that are more shocking... …”
"Speaking of which, while I was investigating the follow-up of Yang Gong's treasure house, what were you busy with, Junior Sister Qing'er? Regarding the recent situation outside Daxing City, is there any new news from Elder Pi and Uncle Wei? ?”
Glancing at the rough-looking pottery wheels and the few people standing next to them, Bai Qing'er didn't feel anything special. Instead, she walked sideways through the gap between the crowd and the exhibition tent and walked toward the more... Looking from a distance, I noticed two exquisite and complex large copper-cast instruments.
The first one is the armillary sphere originally created by Zhang Heng and restored and improved by Lu Miaozi, including the ecliptic ring, the horizon ring, the meridian ring, the six-pointed sphere, the white path ring, the inner equatorial ring, the right ascension ring and many other rings. Constantly rotating, opening and closing, interpreting the complex changes of astronomical phenomena;
On the right side of the armillary sphere, there is a seven-state ritual with a somewhat similar style. Driven by the mechanism, with the sun as the center, the planets such as water, metal, fire, wood, earth, earth and moon orbit in an orderly manner. , demonstrating the system of celestial body movement through another model.
Although she couldn't understand these two complicated instruments at once, Bai Qing'er was still inexplicably attracted by them, and thus understood the meaning of Huan Huan's words, knowing that such an exhibit containing amazing wisdom would not be sold in a short time. Tired of looking at it, he pursed his lips and smiled, and replied:
"According to the information obtained by Uncle Wei, just five days ago, the 80,000 elite soldiers of Wagang were defeated by Li Jing in a battle. After breaking with Zhai Rang, the former leader who advocated surrender, 'Pushangong' Li Mi The remaining remnants of the army did not last long before they encountered a tragic ambush."
"I don't know where Li Jingjun got the steel chariot. It is even faster than a galloping horse, and it is equipped with a new type of repeating crossbow that is much more powerful than the eight-bow crossbow machine. Only more than twenty of them were dispatched. Then we completely destroyed five or six thousand troops including Li Mi, Wang Bodang, Zu Junyan and others."
"Li Mi himself also died together? Which masters teamed up to do it?" Hearing the news about Bai Qing'er, Huan Huan was also a little surprised. As a famous master who had killed Zhang Xutuo, the "first gunman of the era" A strong player, Li Mi's strength has always been considered to be among the top ten in the world.
She knew that after the death of Master Zhu, her cultivation had made breakthroughs due to emotional changes. Although she had reached the peak of the seventeenth level of the Heavenly Demon Dafa and had a first glimpse of the realm of the eighteenth level, her skill accumulation time was too short. , most likely still no match for this person.
"It's not that multiple master-level experts are attacking together, it's just relying on the power of strong bows and crossbows."
Bai Qing'er explained solemnly: "The heavy arrows fired by hundreds of stone repeaters may be coated with a layer of black steel or even black iron on the surface. A master like Li Mi who specializes in boxing and has a less outstanding weapon, I'm afraid I'll be shot dead on the spot after blocking two or three arrows..."
"Is it a weapon that can kill even a master-level expert?" Huanwen's captivating eyes lit up with a strange blue light, and she maintained her usual coolness and determination:
"With such power, it should be a machine designed by Lu Miaozi. In this way, his cooperative relationship with our Holy Sect Evil Emperor Xiang Yutian and Zhao Qing is much deeper than I originally thought."
"Wagang is a thing of the past. It won't take long for Anguo's army to advance into the Luoyang area. Once they capture the eastern capital, which has no defensive power, they can then come from the Yellow River by water and the Tongyang official road by land to attack Mianchi. , Cijian, and Changping, threatening the Guanzhong area."
"If there are no accidents, the remaining time of the Sui Dynasty should not exceed two or three months. Before the battle between 'Heavenly Sword' Song Que and 'Wuzun', the reunification of the north and south can be roughly completed..."
While making these conclusions, Huan Huan had been observing the exhibits attentively. Starting from the ground stone tools and pottery wheels, she also looked at the hoe, shovel, sickle, hoe, canoe, mortise and tenon joint. Structures, spoked wheels, metallurgical blast equipment…
She paid attention to the bronze plows, bronze mirrors, windlass, pulleys, gears of various shapes, and copper kettles, hourglasses, and timepieces not far away, and thought of these representative inventions that had brought major productivity changes to China. , as well as the civilization process that has been passed down from generation to generation and developed step by step to this day, gave rise to a different kind of perception;
In comparison, the so-called highest ideal of the Demon Sect seemed illusory and narrow-minded. It seemed that it had become insignificant and could no longer arouse her yearning.
In the further exhibition area, several wooden kites powered by compressed true energy were flying freely in the air. Precision instruments such as compass, Jili drum cart, Zhuge Liannu, and seismograph were placed there. People gathered around them. There are far more people than there are pottery tools.
And beyond her sight, a gilt bronze pendulum decorated with patterns made a ticking sound, and several finely carved crystal hanging lamps reflected the bright light, a glass ecosystem where algae, insects and fish coexisted The ball is juxtaposed with a city model of Daxing City...
Feeling the impact of emerging technologies on productivity and social change from each exhibit, Huan suddenly felt something in her heart, and with some uncertainty she sent a voice message to Bai Qing'er who was approaching the armillary sphere and asked:
"There are only four or five people left in our Yingui faction. It is basically impossible to take revenge with our true strength. Waiting in Daxing City until this place also falls into the hands of the enemy a few months later is really not an option."
"It just so happens that the two of us meet Xiang Yutian's criteria of 'having never done evil for less than twenty years'. We might as well pretend to be his disciples and use this as a springboard to learn from Zhao Qing's ideas and techniques to create a steel repeating crossbow." Powerful mechanical weapons such as chariots?”
…
"To be able to understand part of the meaning of the exhibits I set up, Huanhua's qualifications and understanding are indeed quite good."
In a basement a hundred feet away, Zhao Qing had already seen through the two people's breath-containing methods that they thought were acceptable. At this moment, his mind moved slightly and he immediately intercepted the content of the voice transmission between Hanhan and Bai Qing'er.
At present, she feels that her plan to use this expo to promote the idea of historical materialism and to find people who can be built up among these visitors is going smoothly.
Except for some entertainment exhibits that are purely designed to attract the masses, the remaining various exhibits are arranged in more than a dozen areas, but they all belong to the scope of recording the history of culture and science. Thoughts are more fundamental to civilization.
From the Neo-Paleolithic Age to the Bronze Age and the Iron Age, from primitive society to slave society and feudal society, the continuous development of production tools and social systems has given birth to countless ideas and cultures and the splendid civilization itself. .
If you can understand this "historical materialism", you will naturally look at the current society from a different perspective. Your vision is no longer limited to the rise and fall of one sect or sect, but is on the road to promoting the development of civilization.
In fact, the two movie projectors built by her personally at the expo played very different pictures. One was completely entertainment content, while the other was a further demonstration of the impact of scientific production and civilization. According to the views of tourists, Tendency to screen out talents with training value.
The fortune envoy "Su Shi Tong" has seen thousands of people's lives. Zhao Qing gradually gained a deeper understanding of the "relationship between heaven and man". Ming Xiao's so-called "humanity" is not only a variety of political concepts and ideological schools, but also People in the world have experienced all kinds of joys and sorrows, but the most important thing is the extremely profound history of civilization development itself, with great achievements as nodes.
…
Just as Huanwan guessed, Zhao Qing did not rely on this expo with limited preparation time to win the competition. She knew that the preparations of Buddhism were indeed sufficient, but she still had to take action herself;
That is to say, manipulating a series of equipment in the center of the square to start the process of refining the magic weapon, triggering earth-shattering visions, and easily suppressing hundreds of carts of sandalwood at Todaiji Temple to create a Buddhist atmosphere.
I saw her lightly opening various mechanisms in the basement, allowing dozens of boxes stacked with materials to be lifted to the ground at any time. At the same time, she carefully took out twenty crystal clear crystal balls and a newly made The black iron giant bow passed through the passage and came to the furnace.
Looking at the dazzling sun in the sky from a distance, Zhao Qing calmly accumulated his skills, slowly raising the Gang Qi field and domain expansion to an unprecedented peak, and merged with the surging sword intent to form a huge field covering several miles in radius. .
After more than half a month of saving, she had achieved the Ultimate Yin Wuji Beyond Dacheng and the Ultimate Yang Wuji. After thoroughly studying the "Dao Heart Demon Planting Technique" which majored in Zhiyang Wuji, she finally discovered that the latter transcended Dacheng. The limit has reached a new height in the total amount of Sun True Fire and Lunar True Water.
With the intersection and rotation of the lunar energy field and the solar energy field, the Yuan Shen is deeply integrated into the space between heaven and earth. The energy of heaven and earth in the entire Daxing City gradually gathers from all directions, forming a big spiral that is rotating faster and faster. The vortex seemed to be compressed into Zhao Qing's body without limit.
Since the Gangqi nodes of one yuan have been completely condensed, her body's strength and endurance limit have almost doubled. Through the deep-level "unity of heaven and man" to gather the vitality for a long time, the overall strength has been temporarily increased by a huge amount.
After waiting for a total of two and a half hours, and after the hour hand of the pendulum clock in the exhibition area rang five times, Zhao Qing seemed to have finally reached his limit. He condensed a huge ice arrow covered with heavy Gang Qi, raised his head to the sky and raised his bow vertically. Upward, the ends of the arrow clusters were dyed with brilliant golden light by the approaching noon sun.
The next moment, the bowstring suddenly loosened, and the ice arrow with a circle of dazzling electric light attached at some point turned into a vast spiral column of air and soared into the sky, tearing the air along the way in an instant and spiraling straight into the sky;
Wrapped with flashing electric light, it exploded suddenly at a height beyond the reach of ordinary people's eyes. The ice completely vaporized, leaving only a transparent column of air that was more than ten miles long and nearly ten feet thick, and then a deafening explosion was heard. The sound of singing.
Without any hesitation, she instantly condensed the same ice arrows one after another in her hand, and fired twelve arrows in succession at an unbelievable high speed. Each time an arrow was fired, it tore apart ten arrows. Several miles of ionized air columns greatly reduce the air resistance within the columns.
Due to a further step in cultivation and improvements in the configuration of bows and arrows, the distance Zhao Qing can now shoot an arrow can reach two to three hundred miles on the ground, and the maximum height of vertical launch into the atmosphere is one hundred twenty to thirty. The level is just enough to reach the ionosphere, which is about 120 miles away from the ground.
But by forcibly tearing apart the air along the way with a series of ice arrows, and attaching the thunder ionized air to weaken its resistance, her maximum shooting height in the direction of the position after the twelve arrows increased by sixty or seventy miles, which was already possible Into the rarefied depths of the ionosphere.
If arrows are stacked in the same way to amplify ground ejection, since the arrows can fly into the thin upper atmosphere and take advantage of the curvature of the earth itself, the maximum range will undergo a qualitative change, reaching a distance of more than a thousand miles.
…
Accompanied by the huge sound of arrows that was spreading at high speed and would shake a hundred miles around, Zhao Qing took out a crystal ball at an unimaginable speed, filled it with dozens of purple light groups, and condensed it in the blink of an eye. A huge ice arrow wrapped in crystal was formed and shot straight into the super high altitude.
While the torn and ionized air column had not yet recovered, she saw twenty small hydrogen bombs with an equivalent of approximately 50,000 tons being instantly launched to a height of nearly two hundred miles above the ground as the shadow of the bow string flickered. ;
In a short period of time, before the shock wave had time to interfere with the latecomers, they detonated one after another, turning into twenty clusters of blazing white nuclear light balls that were difficult to distinguish on the ground and seemed to overlap.
Since the air at ultra-high altitude is extremely thin, it is difficult to form a powerful shock wave. The optical radiation energy generated by the nuclear explosion increases significantly, and the energy converted into shock waves decreases significantly. The nuclear fireball will eventually cool down into a smoke cloud without a dust column connecting to the ground, so it will not A mushroom cloud will appear.
At the same time, gamma rays with extremely high energy will impact the surrounding air molecules and ionize them. The positive and negative charges will be separated sharply, generating a very strong electric field. The electrons flying away at high speed will be like the current flowing in the wire. That creates a strong magnetic field.
Due to the uneven density of the high-altitude atmosphere, the charge distribution is also asymmetric, resulting in a violent discharge, which excites the ionosphere above Zhao Qing to an extremely high energy state, with energy far exceeding normal conditions. If superconductivity is used, The cable leads it down, which can provide energy for her next plan.
In an instant, a huge portal was opened in the sky. Through the broken clouds that were illuminated and turned into white for hundreds of miles, it seemed that the bright starry sky outside the atmosphere could be seen.
At the same time that a nuclear explosion occurred at high altitude, she was not surprised to observe that behind the extremely eye-catching giant hole in the sky, two extremely dazzling rays of light suddenly appeared in the northern area of the sun.
According to Zhao Qing’s astronomical observations during this period, as well as the investigation of astronomical records, natural disasters, and temperature changes in the past century, the past few years should have been the peak period of sunspots, and solar activity has been quite intense, with frequent flares.
"The Records of Emperor Xuan of the Book of Zhou" records that thirty-six years ago, "In the second month of the first year of Emperor Xuan's elephant in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, at the beginning of the day and when the sun was about to set, there was a black color in it, as big as a chicken egg, and it disappeared after four days." Consistent with the average sunspot cycle of 11.2 years.
Generally speaking, if solar activity is too strong or too weak, it will have a huge impact on the earth's climate, causing a large number of geomagnetic disturbances and frequent natural disasters, which will trigger the demise of feudal dynasties, such as the Little Ice Age at the end of the century.
At this moment, the local brightness of the sun increased by more than ten times, and lasted for about tens of breaths. It was the outbreak of a flare. Its power was mainly concentrated in invisible short-wave radiation and radio bands, emitting various high-energy particles. Superimposed on the power of a nuclear explosion.
In an instant, billions of rosy vortexes rolled up in the ionosphere, and countless filaments of silver light radiated from the pure white holes, like streams of dazzling stars pouring out, or like a large inverted sky. The hanging ceiling has millions of tassels hanging down;
The original scene of clear blue sky changed drastically. The dazzling and ever-changing aurora stretched lightly in the sky for tens of thousands of miles, all the way to the far end of the line of sight, faintly connected to the geomagnetic North Pole, covering almost the entire territory of Asia.
Since Zhao Qing planned to obtain energy from the ionosphere, in addition to continuously detonating nuclear bombs at high altitude, he naturally also considered another energy source, the sun itself, and predicted a violent flare explosion 300 million miles away in advance to make full use of these two sources. The effect is to disturb the ionosphere and produce a huge amount of current.
Solar flares belong to the right time; detonating a nuclear bomb is a matter of favorable location; as for people and people, she certainly has full confidence in herself.
