Following Feng Yi's guidance, Jiang Hua continued to move forward. After a while, they arrived deep into the mine.
The original mine was full of pits, with a big pit here and a big pit there.
In some places, there are water veins underground, and if you dig it, it will turn into a mud pool. Not only the mine was not dug, but also a lot of manpower and material resources were wasted.
But at this moment, Jiang Hua even saw a warlock holding a crystal ball in his hand. Seeing this scene, Jiang Hua walked over directly.
"Teacher from the Imperial Academy, I'd like to pay my respects to the great sacrificial wine." This instructor is a sorcerer. At this moment, he looks at Jiang Hua with eyes full of worship and admiration.
In today's academy, alchemists are called the main teachers, or assistant teachers for short, warlocks are called teachers, Taoist priests are called doctors, and Taoist priests are called sacrificial wine. As for Jiang Hua, it is the great sacrificial wine.
This warlock is a typical example of a school changing its destiny.
Jiang Hua proposed the idea, Taoist Changkong was responsible for the implementation, and then the academy was restructured. After the restructuring of the Academy, you can get a lot of rewards by completing the tasks issued by the Prefectural Palace.
This instructor was already over sixty years old. Although he was still healthy, strong and as strong as an ox, he also knew that he had little hope of becoming a warlock in this life.
After the news of Xian Junyan's death came, he was even more prepared to live or die with Yancheng. At that time, he even prepared a tomb for himself in advance when he had nothing to do, and he was considered a wonderful person.
But I never expected that after Jiang Hua succeeded to the throne, Yancheng would change three times a day. This change soon came to him. By actively completing the task, he obtained the qualification to redeem the elixir, and successfully became a warlock with the help of the elixir.
Although this warlock broke through with the help of magical medicine, and although he cannot compare with those young people, the warlock himself is very satisfied.
"What are you doing?" Jiang Hua asked curiously.
"Revealing the Great Sacrifice Liquor is using Taoism to establish an underground model."
"The underground is very complex. In addition to the power of earth, some places also have the power of metal and water."
"The place that contains the power of metal is likely to contain mineral veins. The place that contains the power of earth may not only be soil, but also stone."
"As for the power of water, most of it contains subtle water veins, which must not be touched, otherwise a large amount of flowing water will be produced."
"In the model in front of me, the yellow one represents the power of earth, the white one represents the power of gold, and the black one represents the power of water."
"They are not static, but are always in a state of constant movement. Therefore, relevant plans must be formulated in advance."
"At least, before digging, we need to find out through methods the yield and quality of minerals, as well as the amount of water produced by water veins at different depths, and a series of other issues."
"When we finish the process of collecting information, it's time to start mining directly. But even mining is different from the past."
"Nowadays, when mining is started, the earth-attribute method is used to transport the excess soil directly."
"At present, the effect of our prospecting spells is not as great as imagined. If it is precise enough, the range will be very small. If you want to expand the range, you cannot be precise. Therefore, now we can only detect those ultra-large-scale mineral deposits .”
"According to the current plan, we will dig down one hundred meters to this mine. Every time we dig, we will relocate a large magic weapon. In this way, the amount of work will be relatively small. We will hire a man who has understood the true meaning of Tu Xing. The warlock can cast the spell slowly."
"In the future, this crystal ball will record the entire mining process, which will also facilitate summary, observation, thinking, and ultimately innovation."
"I believe that the next time we open the mine, it will be more convenient and efficient!"
"If you are ambitious, uncle, if you continue to follow this goal firmly, you will definitely gain something." Jiang Hua encouraged.
After watching the old man, Jiang Hua and others walked around the mine again. It was not until the afternoon that Jiang Hua reluctantly left here.
As the sun set, Jiang Hua looked at the mine slowly disappearing from his sight, and then at Qu Wu and others who were driving for him, becoming more and more sure of his idea.
I, Jiang Hua, have an idea.
You, the alchemists, are responsible for making it happen.
You help me realize my dream, and I will give you a prosperous Taoist age.
…
Time went back to the morning, when Jiang Hua just set off from Yancheng and headed for the mine. In the market outside Dashi Pass, many Taoists were also paying attention to this battle.
Just like Taoist Changkong said, at this moment, too many people in Chao Kingdom are paying attention to Yancheng. Many Taoists are hoping that Yancheng can really stand up and support the Taoists.
"Why don't you think this battle is over yet?"
"It's only noon now. We just captured Yanghe County yesterday. The common people and savages in Yanghe County should still be migrating at this moment. As for attacking Dongcheng, it seems unrealistic!"
"Why?"
"Even a rough guy like me can tell that Dongcheng is not suitable for attack. There are so many smart people in Yancheng, but they can't even tell this?"
"Why?"
"That's Dongcheng. The seat of Dongjun County is not an ordinary small county town. The formations and building materials inside are not comparable to ordinary county towns. There are no Taoist priests, no second-generation ministers, and no top-quality magic weapons. , what can you use to attack a county?"
"Will it fail?"
"How is it possible? Yanghe County is just a small county, what accident can happen?"
Listening to everyone's discussion, Taoist Qingmei suddenly realized that his heart was actually not as calm as he appeared on the surface. After listening for a while, Taoist Qingmei returned to the inn.
After coming back, the first thing he did was to pat his cloak gently. The cloak began to grow bigger, and the cloak on his body also grew bigger.
After a few breaths, the cloak turned into a dome with a diameter of about three meters, and the cloak turned into a wall with a diameter of three meters. The cloak and the cloak together formed a small closed round room.
After looking at both sides, Taoist Qingmei took out a handkerchief and threw it towards the ground. The handkerchief swung in the wind and turned into a carpet. At this point, everything around Taoist Qingmei was wrapped up. She made a seal on her right hand. After the magic power was input, strings of runes shone with blue light, making the entire small round house look extremely mysterious.
At this point, a simple heavenly machine room is built.
Taoist Qingmei sat directly on the floor on the carpet, then took out a jade talisman and began to report his recent experiences to the master.
"Master, Yancheng is indeed different, different in every aspect."
"I feel that the biggest difference is that there is not much difference between Taoists and ordinary people here."
"When I was observing in the nobles' territories, most of the nobles were arrogant. In the hearts of the nobles, Taoists are nothing."
"Many old nobles envy the magic of Taoist magic, but at the same time feel that the lack of control over the Taoist group is an unstable factor."
"And in many Taoist territories, Taoists have become a superior role. Taoists have replaced the role of nobles. It doesn't feel very good."
"And Yancheng really intends to integrate with the Taoists, not just talk..."
"The most important thing is that Yancheng has been training Taoist soldiers recently. Once these Taoist soldiers are completed, Yancheng will have a foundation for its long-term existence, and there is no need to worry about Yancheng's ups and downs."
When the time came to evening, Taoist Qingmei escaped from his calm state and heard the noise outside the window. She left the small round room, went to the window, opened it, and looked at everyone.
"The second issue of the Yancheng Official News is here. Here is yesterday's latest battle situation, here is today's latest battle situation, here is the latest situation of the prefect, and here is the latest information you want."
"As usual, the silk version is cheaper, only ten yuan a copy, which is just the cost price. The magic weapon version is more expensive, and it records more information, as well as projection, sound, and commentary, and this issue involves It’s a legendary Taoist priest, so it’s relatively expensive, costing 100,000 yuan each.”
"Taoist priest? Are you sure?"
"Of course! Can this still lie to you? If not, you can just throw the official newspaper at my head!"
"Then I'll buy one, and I want the magic weapon version!"
Qingmei Taoist stood upstairs, waved his hand, and dropped a small yellow croaker, which happened to fall into the arms of the salesman. At the same time, a crystal ball came into her hand from the alchemist.
The mana entered it, and after a few breaths, Taoist Qingmei looked shocked and a little speechless.
The official report did mention Taoist priests, but there were no scenes of Taoist priests preaching or fighting. It just said that Taoist Changkong successfully broke through and became a Taoist priest. Then he personally took action to break through the forbidden law barrier in Liuhe County, and captured Liuhe County on his own.
After a while, Taoist Qingmei and his master, Taoist Meihua, started today’s communication.
Plum Blossom Taoist masters in the past dynasties will receive the title of Plum Blossom Taoist when they succeed to the throne. Similarly, the title of Taoist Qingmei is passed down from generation to generation, and generally only young masters can obtain it. The aristocratic senior brother who had become a doctor was a strong contender for the title of Taoist Qingmei at first, but Taoist Qingmei won later.
"Master, do you think these news are true?"
"Is it true that there are Taoist priests in Yancheng so soon?"
"Taoist Changkong, have you seen her?"
Listening to Taoist Qingmei's series of questions, Taoist Meihua was a little surprised, but he was well-informed, so on the surface he remained as calm as an old dog.
"Taoist Changkong, I have seen her as a teacher before. She is a true genius. She was probably only about twenty years old when she became a Taoist priest. She is over fifty this year. For her, it is understandable that she has made a breakthrough at this age. .”
"You have to know that for us Qi Refiners, qualifications and character are very important. Of course, resources are also very important."
"She was friends with Xianjunyan from Yancheng, and was later invited to Yancheng by Xianjunyan. She enjoyed the support of the entire Yancheng. With her talent, it is actually normal for her to have a successful breakthrough in more than thirty years."
"Of course, Qingmei, you don't have to belittle yourself. You are the most qualified person since the establishment of our Plum Blossom Tao. In the future, you are also expected to carry forward the Plum Blossom Tao and become a Taoist priest."
Qingmei Taoist thought for a while and asked directly: "Are Taoist priests really that powerful? Isn't it a bit exaggerated to conquer a county town by oneself? That is a county town. It cannot be said that there are many masters in the city, but just There are thousands of soldiers, can this really be a hostile force with human power?"
"Qingmei, although your talent is outstanding, you still have too little knowledge. You have been practicing Taoism since you were young and rarely pay attention to other things. This is a good thing, because concentration is important at all times."
"However, if you want to inherit and carry forward Plum Blossom Way, then you must understand all kinds of general affairs and understand all kinds of knowledge."
"The Taoist priest is indeed very strong, he can rival the second generation of ministers."
"A hundred years ago, I was not a Taoist priest of Plum Blossom. At that time, I was lucky enough to become a Taoist priest. I felt that the world was vast and I could conquer it, so I participated in the war between the Zhang family of the Qing clan and the nobles of the Wu state."
"In that battle, the head of the Zhang family of the Qing clan transformed into a giant beast with a height of tens of feet. He was surrounded by water flow created by Tianyi Zhenshui. Every blow could evolve into a river, and he could shake the mountains and rivers with every move he made. able."
"At that time, two family heads with the strength of the second generation of ministers, one used the ancestral Tianyi True Water to absorb the power of the Chao River water for his own use. Like a water-moving monster, he easily gathered a hundred-meter-high wave. , an ordinary army will collapse with one impact."
"At the level of Taoist priests, ordinary armies have lost their effect. Taoist priests rely on the power of heaven and earth to become walking natural disasters!"
"In that battle, all the earth element power in a thousand-meter-high mountain was extracted by the Wu nobles, so that not long after the war, the mountain collapsed."
"During that battle, the nearby river was directly drained by the head of the Zhang family."
"In that battle, both sides changed the terrain for dozens of miles."
"In a war of this level, an ordinary army would be injured and die at the slightest touch."
"So, no matter how many victories Yancheng has achieved before, as long as there are no Taoist priests, it is just a sand sculpture on the beach. When the waves come, it will collapse immediately, which is meaningless."
"It was only after I saw that battle that I decided to use my sect's strength to cultivate a few real Taoist seeds."
"Then, my master came to Chao Kingdom and began to seriously promote and expand the Plum Blossom Way. Fortunately, the disciples of your generation are quite impressive."
"If there are Taoist priests in Yancheng, then Yancheng will definitely be suppressed, but it is very likely that it will not perish. At least until Taoist Changkong dies, Yancheng will not perish."
"Look at Taoist Tianyan, why did he directly become the leader of Chao Kingdom in the first place? Is it just because he helped the king ascend the throne?"
"No, helping the monarch ascend the throne is just a reason. What's more important is that he is a Taoist priest and his strength is strong enough. When facing the strong, everyone is willing to respect him."
"In order to deal with Taoist Tianyan, the monarch did not hesitate to destroy his personal reputation and launched the Meishan Incident. But even so, Taoist Tianyan is still alive and kicking in the Meishan formation at this moment. This is a Taoist priest!"
"As long as the Taoist priests are here, what does a mere county town mean?"
There are still four thousand in the evening
