Chapter 374 Explosion is an art
In fact, Zhao Ya had already speculated about this.
Because they were all heading west, and according to Wu Baoer's description, going west from the Huawai Land, they could reach the wild jungle, which was probably thousands of miles away.
Although Zhao Ya and others spent most of their time walking to take care of Jin Fu, but even so, with their pace, they still easily walked thousands of miles in the past ten days.
So even if this place isn't a wild jungle, it's not too far away.
At this time, they had climbed halfway up the mountain. Looking far into the distance, Zhao Ya saw the forests were dyed red and the mountains were covered with red leaves. Although it was midsummer, it was already a late autumn scene here.
"It doesn't look like there's anything surprising about it," Zhao Ya said.
"That's natural. The ethnic groups living in the wild jungles now have learned well. They hide deep in the mountains and don't easily go out. Do you know why?" Liang Xin'an smiled at Zhao Ya.
"Is it related to me?"
"Of course it has something to do with you. You must know that in the last war between the Northern and Southern Canglongs, it was not only the Southern Canglongs that were destroyed. The ethnic groups living in the wild jungle and believing in various natural gods suffered heavy losses."
Zhao Ya was moved when he heard this, and then he couldn't help but ask: "Have the people from Nan Cang Long ever been here before?"
"Of course I have been here. Not only have I been here, but I have also plundered the statues of gods worshiped by these ethnic groups for generations, which has caused many wars. They even sent people to the Guizong to worship the mountain, but we ignored them." Liang Xin'an said calmly.
"If this is the case, then these ethnic groups should have formed a life-and-death feud with Nan Canglong, so why would they later work for Jingping Sheng?"
In fact, Zhao Ya has had this doubt for a long time, but time has passed, even Nan Canglong's station has been destroyed, and Jing Pingsheng's bones have been rotten, so the reason is unknown.
Now that Liang Xin'an suddenly mentioned it, Zhao Ya naturally wanted to ask what happened.
"Actually, I don't know much about the war between the Northern and Southern Canglongs. When I was in the sect, I just found a group of people plundering these ethnic groups, so I asked about it once."
"As for the battle between you and Jing Ping Sheng, I didn't know about it until I came down the mountain, but judging from everyone's accounts and the clues left behind, this Jing Ping Sheng is indeed extraordinary."
"He actually thought of using his mortal body to absorb the power of the gods and then refine it. If he really does this, it is indeed possible to break through the limits of immortality."
Liang Xin'an rarely praised others, but he was not stingy with Jing Pingsheng.
"The reason why these ethnic groups will sacrifice their lives for him later is, I think, to a large extent because he has absorbed the power from the statues of gods they enshrine. In this way, he is equivalent to the incarnation of these gods in the human world. These ethnic groups naturally I will obey him."
Speaking of this, Liang Xin'an suddenly thought of something and raised her eyes to look at Zhao Ya.
"So after Jingpingsheng died, you didn't find his cultivation method?"
"No!" Zhao Ya shook his head.
He wasn't lying about that.
Because they really didn't find any clues left by Jingping Sheng.
Zhao Ya thought about this at the time, but unfortunately Jing Pingsheng's body was severely damaged and no valuable clues could be found.
Later, Qin Jianji also personally led a team to search for Nan Canglong's station, but by that time, the people stationed inside had already learned the news, and the building was empty.
They found nothing but some loose money.
The matter later fell into disuse.
"It's a pity. To be honest, this Jingping Sheng can find a new way to find such a path, which shows his talent. He just lacks a little luck and means."
As she spoke, Liang Xin'an actually felt quite sorry for what happened to Jing Pingsheng.
Zhao Ya also knew that for people like Liang Xin'an, worldly morality was actually very indifferent.
What they value is often the exploration of the rules of this world.
As for the rest, it's basically unimportant.
"So you think this road can be achieved?" Zhao Ya asked.
"Who knows, but every exploration of rules is precious, and I never thought that there is only one way to reach the sky in martial arts practice!" Liang Xin'an said lightly, then stepped up the mountain ridge and pointed forward.
"Well, this is where the Guan Sect is stationed!"
Zhao Ya was thoughtful and seemed to have thought of something, but he couldn't grasp the specific idea and could only give up temporarily.
Everyone stepped onto the ridge and looked up.
Surrounded by mountains, a city stood prominently.
Despite the distance, one can still feel the grandeur and splendor of this city.
Not to mention anything else, the city wall alone is over five feet high, and is made entirely of black basalt. It is neat and straight and looks very spectacular.
"How is it?" Liang Xin'an asked somewhat complacently.
"It's simply too beautiful!" Gui Xuanqing sighed sincerely.
"Haha, this is the work of the brothers from the Tiangong Branch. I once told them that our Guanzong Sect is located deep in the mountains, and no one usually comes here, so why build such a huge city wall."
"But they said it was idle anyway, so they spent a few days building it." Liang Xin'an said calmly.
"How long did such a tall city wall only last?" Gui Xuanqing couldn't believe his ears.
"Yes, it does sound a bit incredible, but you must know that the power of machinery is beyond human imagination, so a seemingly difficult job was quickly completed with the help of machinery."
Liang Xin'an said proudly, looking like a child showing off his toys.
Gui Xuanqing and Jin Fu were naturally very supportive, and even Zhao Ya had to admit that these people from the Guan Sect did have their own uniqueness.
"Come on, I'll show you something else."
With that said, Liang Xin'an led the way and led everyone down the mountain.
Didn't get very far this time.
In just about a stick of incense, everyone arrived at a platform hidden in the mountains and forests.
After pushing aside the covering weeds, a strange-looking iron carriage appeared in front of them.
Then Liang Xin'an skillfully pushed the iron car out of the track and got into the driving seat.
"Come up, it will be much faster to go down the mountain with this thing!"
Gui Xuanqing and Jin Fu both got into the car excitedly, but Zhao Ya did not move.
"What? Are you scared?" Liang Xin'an smiled.
"That's not the case. I just want to see which one is faster, your slide or my legs!"
"Okay, let's compare!"
While speaking, Liang Xin'an immediately put down the brakes.
The pulley rumbled, rushing down the mountain along the track under the influence of gravity.
Zhao Ya then chased after him.
It can be seen that the pulley is rushing faster and faster, and the track is laid in the mountains, so it is impossible to be smooth, and there are inevitably rugged and difficult places.
Therefore, the pulley often rushes through layers of curves and dangerous places with dangerous and difficult movements.
Zhao Ya's speed was not very fast, and he followed him leisurely, so he could clearly see the increasingly pale faces of Gui Xuanqing and Jin Fu, and he couldn't help but smile to himself.
He saw this just now, so he found an excuse to walk down the mountain.
finally.
After a lot of bumps and frights, the pulley finally rushed down the hillside and came to a flat place in the mountains.
As the terrain gradually slowed down, the speed of the pulley also gradually slowed down.
When the pulley finally came to a stop, Gui Xuanqing and Jin Fu couldn't control it anymore and started to vomit after getting off the car.
Liang Xin'an was in high spirits and laughed loudly: "Shuang, you may be a little uncomfortable at first, but as time goes by, you will understand the fun of it."
Gui Xuanqing and Jin Fu looked bitter after hearing this.
If they had known that going down the mountain by car would be so thrilling, they would have preferred to go down the mountain step by step.
At this time, Liang Xin'an looked at Zhao Ya, who had arrived late.
"Boy, you lose!"
"Yes, I lost!" Zhao Ya admitted defeat simply and neatly, which caught Liang Xin'an off guard.
"Damn it, I forgot to make a bet with you." Liang Xin'an felt that she was at a huge loss.
At this time, they were very close to this organ city.
And because of the huge movement of the iron pulley just now, someone rushed over quickly.
"Senior Brother Liang, you are back!"
The visitor saw Liang Xin'an and shouted hurriedly.
"Well, I'm back. These two are the good prospects I found for the sect, and this one is my friend."
Liang Xin'an briefly introduced Zhao Ya and the others, and then walked to the machine city.
"What's going on in the sect recently?"
"What can happen? It's not..."
Before the man finished speaking, the ground suddenly trembled, and then a loud noise was heard, and a plume of black smoke rose from the machine city in the distance.
Gui Xuanqing and Jin Fu were both shocked.
Zhao Ya also felt nervous.
But Liang Xin'an and the people who came to greet him looked unsurprised.
Liang Xin'an even looked at the black smoke in the distance with interest, and then asked: "Are those guys from the Thunder Fire Division still blowing up the field every day?"
"Blow it up, why don't we blow it up? If we don't blow it up, how can we still be called the Thunder Fire Department? That means the brothers from the Tiangong Department have worked hard to build a city wall that is thick and strong enough, otherwise even our government city will be destroyed by the bomb." This man said Face said gloatingly.
"Humph, a bunch of guys who just mess around."
Liang Xin'an obviously had a prejudice against Thunder Fire Branch, so he said with scorn.
By this time they had entered the city.
Although it is called a city, after entering, you can still clearly feel the difference from an ordinary city.
First of all, the streets were empty, not even a pedestrian.
Secondly, what stands on both sides of the street are not shops, but workshops.
However, most of these workshops are blocked by high walls, and the sounds coming from inside can only be vaguely heard.
Not long after walking forward, Zhao Ya saw a ruins.
That's right.
It's a literal ruin.
I saw that a workshop had been razed to the ground, and black smoke was billowing out.
From time to time, the sound of explosions can be heard among the ruins.
But right next to such a dangerous scene, there was a long group of people squatting.
These people were all in ragged clothes and covered in black ash from the bombing.
If you don't gnash your teeth, you can't even tell the difference between positive and negative.
But even so, these people still gathered together to discuss something fiercely.
"My previous guess was indeed correct. The ratio of saltpeter cannot be too high, otherwise the properties of gunpowder will become very unstable. No, just because I was not careful, the workshop that was finally rebuilt was blown to the ground again. .”
"Damn it, it's all because those guys from the Tiangong Branch are too dark. Last time I rebuilt the workshop, I asked them to cast it entirely with stone, but they refused to do anything."
"Okay, if this is really made of stone, every one of us will have to go to heaven with the stone."
"However, the power of this explosion is quite large, so I have to remember the formula this time so that it can be used as a disposable weapon in the future."
"I have already written it down. The severity of the bombing of the workshop this time ranks among the top three in hundreds of previous records, so I think this explosion is very valuable."
"good."
"really!"
The group of people echoed for a while, and there was even a sense of unfinished meaning in their tone.
Although they were quite far away, Zhao Ya heard what these people said clearly and couldn't help but feel dumbfounded.
The workshop was bombed, but these people thought it was worth it.
What kind of lunatics are these?
At this time, this group of people also saw Liang Xin'an and others coming towards them, and the original argument was temporarily suspended.
One of them stood up and said, "Senior Brother Liang, did you just come back?"
"Yeah!" Liang Xin'an nodded.
Although he had always looked down on Lei Huo Ke, thinking that they had too little technical beauty, after seeing the unkempt but high-spirited appearance of these people, Liang Xin'an had to admit that in terms of madness alone, this group of talents was the number one in the machine sect.
"Why did it explode again?" Liang Xin'an asked casually.
"Hey, recently we were experimenting with a gunpowder that was both powerful and safe to store. As a result, we couldn't get the formula proportions right, so the explosions became more frequent." The man chuckled.
"Are you all okay?"
"Don't worry, we have long been accustomed to it. Explosion is an art, and being able to survive an explosion is also a unique skill of our Thunder and Fire Department, so we are all fine."
"Okay, keep up the good work!" Liang Xin'an didn't know how to respond for a while, so she could only encourage her.
"Okay Senior Brother Liang, by the way, Senior Brother Liang, how is the effect of the explosive arrow we made for you before?"
"The effect is good, is there any more?"
Liang Xin'an had almost taken away Zhen Juncheng's men with this exploding arrow before, so she was naturally very satisfied with its power.
"Yes, of course there is, and we have updated it again. The design of the arrow has been changed. It has more explosives and is lighter in weight. It can be said to be a home trip..."
"Stop talking nonsense and talk about the price!"
The man held up two fingers.
Liang Xin'an frowned, "Two agency tokens are too expensive!"
"This is already the cost price. If you don't believe me, I can provide you with one. You can try it first. I guarantee you will be addicted after one use."
"I have a good relationship with Senior Brother Niu from the Tiangong Department. I can ask him to help you repair the workshop." Liang Xin'an directly interrupted the man's sales pitch and said in a deep voice.
The man was overjoyed when he heard this and immediately stretched out his hand, "Deal!"
After completing the transaction, Liang Xin'an took Zhao Ya and others out of the ruins.
After walking far away, Zhao Ya looked back and saw these dark, savage-like thunder and fire disciples still arguing fiercely, completely ignoring the explosions one after another behind them.
Is this the Gaijin Sect, which is known as all madmen?
Sure enough...it's well-deserved!
