Chapter 233 Five Elements Gathering the Dragon's Plan
Outside the textile factory, the large carts dragged by mules and horses were piled with goods, and they were transported out of the factory one by one, rushing to get on the ship to be transported away.
The original factory director was imprisoned and disappeared because he was suspected of participating in the murder of the prefect. Now the factory is managed by a joint working group newly appointed by the prefect's Yamen.
The members of the working group are not outsiders. They are all veterans in the factory. They have been familiar with those who came to pick up the goods before. At this time, they are handling the accounting and are in order. There are two more who are free. Tell the person receiving the goods to have a cup of tea before leaving.
“Forget it, this batch of goods has been delayed for long enough. The other end is in a hurry. Come over and drink next time.”
With the sound of a whip, the last mule cart moved forward, hurriedly away with its four hooves.
The workers in the factory who were helping to load the goods were all covered in sweat. Many of them were bare-chested and had towels around their necks, chatting and laughing happily.
“Someone actually came to pick up the goods, which scared me to death! Since I established this new rule, I only work eight hours a day, and the speed of shipment has been much slower. I thought I could only rely on it in recent months. If the government provides financial assistance, there may not be business in the future?”
“Who says it’s not the case? It’s strange, the buyers of these bulk goods are not in Songjiang Prefecture. We, the masters of Songjiang Prefecture, have no control over them. Why are they still willing to buy these delayed goods?”
Guo Dongliang? He was standing on a small stool and drinking water from a big bowl in his hand. After hearing this, he laughed twice.
The people next to him winked and cheered him up with a smile: "Brother Dongliang, you are well-informed. Do you know anything? Tell me!"
"Yes, tell me!"
Everything After it was over, everyone was resting, and they all started booing when they saw this.
"I know a little bit."
Guo Dongliang cleared his throat, "After our factory changed the rules, the delivery time will be longer. This is true, but, you Do you know that all the ships in Songjiang Prefecture have been modified and now run so fast that the old ships can’t even see their tails?”
"Moreover, it used to load ten ships of goods, but now it only takes six ships. The goods that used to need to be chartered, now just need to join with others and share one ship."
"This is not a huge savings. "One and a half stars."
Everyone was not very sensitive to the shipping costs of large transactions, and they thought it was just because of this reason, and suddenly their faces showed surprise.
“That’s not all!”
Guo Dongliang quickly said, “The prefect’s Yamen has stipulated that anyone who wants to borrow these fast ships for transportation must sign a long-term contract and must Prioritize the transportation of goods sent from our factories.”
"In other words, some buyers want to buy some goods from other places on both sides of the Yangtze River, pick them up on the ship in the middle, and use this fast ship to transport them away. Then they have to think about it before the fast ship sets off. Using our Songjiang Prefecture The cargo is coming for ballast.”
“In addition, our trains on the Songjiang Prefecture road are also on the way. In the process of transformation, we have also built cars that can run without mules or railways. These transportation contracts must be signed together with the contracts for the sale of goods."
Guo Dongliang said. , I just feel like I still have a lot that I haven’t said yet, and I think hard about it, but I can’t say it for a while.
Others in the working group had other opinions and said with a smile: "It turns out that most of the raw materials for these cotton fabrics are shipped by foreigners, and 70% of the foreigners' things have to be relied on in our Songjiang Prefecture. Shore, those buyers just don’t want to sign our order and want to find another one. Looking for factories, only 30% of the sellers in other places are not enough for buyers like them.”
“And when the market is tight in other places, they will definitely have to raise the price. In the end, they will have to buy our Songjiang. House stuff.”
"So, working for eight hours a day will never ruin our business. We can continue to work peacefully, and others will have to adapt to our rules!"
Worker He nodded repeatedly and talked about the recent changes in Songjiang Mansion.
Seeing that everyone's attention had turned away, Guo Dongliang felt a little lost. He rummaged and ruminated about a new piece of news he heard from the night class two days ago.
“That’s right!”
He shouted, “I heard that the prefect’s Yamen has been looking for a lot of people recently, including those who drank foreign ink, as well as those big people in Marshal He’s territory. Talented man, we need to compile a new law.”
"The first thing that has been confirmed is that all the factories on Dashuai He's territory can only work for eight hours!"
As soon as these words were said, everyone felt even more excited, as if they suddenly looked back. , I found that Songjiang Mansion was no longer lonely.
As this type of gossip spreads everywhere intentionally or unintentionally, Songjiang Mansion has undergone a subtle change because of too many changes in the past while, which caused people's hearts to wander and panic.
Everyone feels a lot more at ease, and the smiles on the faces of those talking in the streets are three points warmer than in previous years.
However, in the steel mill.
The intelligence that was constantly coming from He Zong's territory was being relayed and summarized by Ling Duxian and others, pouring cold water on Su Hanshan.
“Since the two orders of a complete ban on smoking and factory reform were passed down, people in many places have incited people to write letters demanding amendments to the laws. Some people directly ignored these two orders. After they were enforced, Escape to other territories.”
Gathering smokers, numbering management, distributing recordings, practicing exercises, selecting and dispatching, reforming factories, and completely banning smoking, these processes have been successfully implemented in Songjiang Prefecture.
But that’s because Su Hanshan is personally in charge. A large number of senior officials in Songjiang Mansion were captured and controlled by him at the beginning. And as time goes by, more and more people are controlled, and the difficulty of execution has been reduced. The strongest deterrence of violence is suppressed to the lowest level.
However, when a successful plan is put on a larger site, more people will make mistakes and take advantage of gaps, making it harder to implement it to the end.
"Fortunately, various local warlords have repeatedly publicized the existence of Marshal He for various purposes and made him a high official. Now, if Marshal He really wants to do something, his authority has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and he can be easily obtained. The trust of the grassroots people."
"Otherwise, the recent chaos may be more than ten times worse."
Ling Duxian flipped through the information in his hand and said, "If this happens. Without external interference, the current resistance The intensity is still within the tolerable range. Based on our successful experience, we will educate batches of new people and gradually grow stronger. "But the problem is, Xiantianjiao and Xu. The emperor is also very concerned about our recent developments, and is fanning the flames openly and covertly. "
"If this continues in the next few months, I am afraid that things will gradually deteriorate until they are out of control. "
Although Emperor Xu's territory is always mentioned first in Guangdong and Guangxi, in fact, Emperor Xu's power connected Yunnan and Guizhou to the west, covered Gan Province to the north, and encompassed Fujian to the east.
The southern part of He Zong's territory has almost formed a trend of being surrounded on three sides. It is really easy to deal with those who have escaped from He Zong's territory.
In the northern part of He Zong's territory, most of the two provinces of Shanxi and Henan were under the jurisdiction of those under his command. In recent years, they have been developing rapidly and expanded repeatedly. The Xiantian Sect has long been on pins and needles and is very dissatisfied. .
The Xiantian Cult Leader personally ordered that he take advantage of this opportunity to try to win over the wealthy businessmen, civil servants and generals in the two provinces of Shanxi and Henan who are unwilling to abide by the new regulations. They may want to swallow up all this territory. manner.
“Ah, just as I expected, trouble is coming one after another.”
Since the cooperation was reached, He Zong has also stayed in the steel mill, and is currently sitting on his silver-white metal disk, with his eyes closed, meditating on the exercises.
After hearing this information, he said without opening his eyes, "How about I go find Lao Xu or Lao Yi to fight, smash the place where they live, and find more for them? Do you want to do other things to distract yourself?"
Su Hanshan was still sitting in front of the steel-making furnace whose top he had cut off, with a calm expression: "You're so cool No matter how many times we harass them, it won't stop them from doing their job."
"Unless we can make both of them bow their heads completely and scare the monkeys away, so as to avoid future troubles."
He Zong. Opening his eyes and looking at it: "Even if two Huan Dan join forces, it will be difficult to kill one Huan Dan and create a sufficient deterrent effect."
"Besides, if you leave Songjiang Mansion, you won't even be able to return the elixir."
"Or are you sure you can break through the realm called the Xuantai?"
Su Hanshan did not answer immediately, but closed his eyes slightly, and then the sea of qi, heart, and forehead bloomed with bright light.
His three Dantians have all been opened.
It goes without saying that there is no need to mention the lower dantian qi sea.
The Jiang Palace in the Middle Dantian is for refining blood and transforming Qi. With his strong physique, his vitality far exceeds that of local warriors. After the Middle Dantian is opened, the power surges like the tide of Qiantang. Almost on the day of opening the Middle Dantian, he has already reached the Middle Dantian. A state of fullness.
As for the upper dantian, which represents the spirit, for Su Hanshan, it just gives him the function of refining the spirit and transforming qi in his path of integrating magic and martial arts. In one turn of spiritual power, he can give the upper dantian to his body. Fill up.
“It is not difficult for you to achieve the state of fullness of the three Dantians, but the vitality of the seven souls is extracted from the phenomena represented by the seven body functions, not really from the physical body. Extracting this kind of power, although your physical body is strong, the assistance provided in the process will not be as obvious as before."
He Zong commented with interest, calculating in his mind.
Even if Su Hanshan's own realm is high enough, and he has carefully studied "Real Person Gun" in the past two months, he can only reach the level of three or four souls at most.
If the seven souls are not complete, the coordinated power will not be stable long enough.
Like Ling Duxian, when using Yuye Qi, it can only be used as a short-term burst, and there is a considerable risk of losing control.
However, Su Hanshan did not proceed step by step regarding the cultivation, purification, and reconciliation of the seven souls' vitality.
He raised his hands and slowly closed them in front of his chest.
The ice-blue light first lit up behind him, and soon became as deep as ink, condensing into a mark like a kidney.
The golden-red flames swayed behind him. The golden light gradually faded, and the red color became purer and condensed into a mark like a heart.
Then there is the Shaohao Yin Talisman, the white light is like the lungs, the longevity is changing, the blue light is like the liver, the Rama mudra, the yellow light is like the spleen.
The five marks were suspended behind him. They were not arranged according to the normal proportions of the five internal organs in the human body. Instead, they were like five stars gathered together and forming a circle, each slowly rotating.
If others look at those five marks, the impression that will be fixed in their mind in the blink of an eye is just like the outline of a regular pentagonal temple.
“This is?!”
He Zong's expression changed slightly and he observed carefully.
Among these five kinds of marks, there are obvious traces of re-tempering and modification through the cultivation method of "Real Person Gun", which is based on the method of cultivating the seven souls and harmonizing each other.
However, the initial structure of these five marks was somewhat confusing to He Zong.
It is the particularity of the initial structure that makes these five imprints, after modification, only require five types of elements to achieve a harmonious and stable state.
He Zong murmured: "What is this?" Su Hanshan said: "This is a gift from heaven."
“If you don’t want to answer, there’s no need to tell such nonsense.”
He Zong laughed and looked at the five marks with some fascination, “However, seeing these five things, I feel even more I believe in the method you said. Finding the earth vein hub and understanding the principles of the earth veins can really help me achieve what I want."
Although he didn't know the specific origin of the five marks, he could feel it. It creates an artistic conception where the five internal organs gather together to offer sacrifices to the earth and express gratitude to the earth.
“People who are in the realm of Yuye cannot make mistakes when they break through the Huandan. They must be extremely cautious and make every prediction, because once they lose control, they are likely to blow themselves up.”
"But with your physical strength, even if you make a mistake, you should be able to hold on forcefully, split and restore the wrong golden elixir, and try a few more times."
He Zong praised, "Have the golden elixir as soon as possible. Power, nature is the best.”
“Even if you still want to follow your mysterious embryo route in the future, you can dismantle the golden elixir back to the three dantian state, and slowly figure out your mysterious embryo structure that is independent of the three dantian.”
Su Hanshan shook his head slightly.
His Five Zang Temple brand was not completely cultivated by himself.
If it is used to condense the golden elixir without success, it can still be split.
Once successful, it is likely that it cannot be separated, and even the three Dantians will be entangled in it and cannot be separated.
According to the martial arts of the Dachu world, the upper Dantian must always be retained in the body.
After practicing the Xuantai, use the Xuantai and the Three Dantians to build bridges respectively to regulate the energy supply to the essence, qi, and spirit.
Jindan Martial Arts is about refining gods and transforming qi.
Xuantai martial arts requires practicing Qi to transform into gods, so that you can cultivate the soul that is independent of Xuantai.
Then let the Yuanshen, as an outsider, build more mysterious embryos, and use the powerful enough power of the soul to allow the multiple mysterious embryos to operate harmoniously. This is the cultivation process of the divine realm. .
If you can cultivate the six mysterious embryos, it will correspond to the smelting of the inner essence, energy, and spirit, as well as the external sky rays, earth energy, and life's destiny.
By purifying and accumulating all six major types of energy to a sufficient level, you can allow the soul, physical body and six mysterious embryos to completely integrate and enter the level of heaven and human beings.
What if Su Hanshan used the Three Dantian and Five Zang Temple imprints to condense the martial arts golden elixir.
Then from now on, all the cultivation methods in the three realms of Xuantai, Shenfu, and Tianren will have to be drastically changed, which will be too troublesome.
"Three Dantians, I will continue to stay in the body and only serve as the power points for the three remote control tractions."
Su Hanshan thought, "I am going to rely solely on the Five Zang Temple brand as a basis. , the luck increases until I build my own mysterious body."
The complete inheritance of pure yang and xuanyin is very inclusive.
For example, a model of the Xuantai recorded in it is called the Yuanyang Crane.
One Yuan returns to the beginning, and everything returns to Yang, so it is called Yuanyang.
After cultivating this mysterious body, even the qi of mysterious yin can be transformed into the qi of primordial yang. Following the principle of cathode and yang, of course, the energy of the five elements attributes can also be summarized into it.
Based on the imprint of Wu Zang Temple, the feasibility of condensing Yuanyang Crane is not low.
There is also a model of the Xuanyin Dragon, called the Xuanyin Dragon Species.
It is based on the masculine and violent energy between heaven and earth, imitating the unruly and domineering dragon. However, Yang cannot last forever, so the mysterious yin energy is used as the foundation to carry this domineering temperament and achieve a long-lasting state of mutual support.
If we replace it with the two brands of gold and fire to condense the dragon's dominance, use the two brands of water and earth to complement the dragon's eternity, and use wood as a guide to form one body, there is a probability of success.
"Although I won't condense the golden elixir, you are right about what you said."
"With my current physique and skills, I can borrow the Feng Shui evil energy of Songjiang Mansion at any time. Come to press the formation, even if it is to build a mysterious body, I can have many opportunities."
Su Hanshan let out a long breath, slowly exercised, and was about to start in this steelmaking plant. His first attempt at building a mysterious body.
The five brands rotated from the sky above Su Hanshan's head and slowly floated in front of him.
The changes in his palms seemed to be forging the most exquisite pottery, weaving his skills into subtle structures, which were attached to the five brands and connected to each other.
Ling Duxian watched from a distance, his mood fluctuating.
Whether it is a mysterious fetus or a golden elixir, when someone tries to break through this realm, they must definitely find a secret place that they can trust and quietly retreat.
Su Hanshan practiced like this directly in front of everyone, and his confidence was a little too full.
After all, he believed that He Zong, who had not yet completed the transaction, would not be able to attack him.
I still believe that Ling Duxian, who was controlled by the spell, did not dare to attack him.
Since being controlled, Ling Duxian has never truly accepted his fate deep in his heart.
Especially after Su Hanshan ordered many people to be gathered to compile the law.
Because the draft of the law had been rejected many times after Su Hanshan revised it.
Ling Duxian has also read through it. With his wisdom, he can guess from some of the contents that the people who were cursed in Songjiang Mansion must be traced and sentenced according to law afterwards. .
Even after being controlled, Su Hanshan never thought of letting them go.
Even if you don’t dare to turn against Su Hanshan, you must at least try to get rid of the control and escape far away, so that you can live happily for the rest of your life.
Ling Duxian has always had this idea in his heart, and he has enough confidence, because he also feels that he has come into contact with another martial arts system through the influence of his ears and eyes and the exploration of so many magic spells in his body. Mysterious, recent cultivation has made considerable progress.
However, the more he looked at the zhenqi structure emerging from the five marks, the more cold sweat broke out on Queen Lingdu's back.
He discovered that he couldn’t even understand most of the zhenqi structures!
He himself has made surprising progress, but how much has Su Hanshan improved during this time?
Those patterns, which are more complex than snowflake crystals, are accumulated layer by layer onto five marks.
After a long time, I don’t know if it was attached to more than a thousand or more than two thousand places, and the five marks were connected into a rough dragon shape.
Su Hanshan also had beads of sweat on his forehead, and the movements of his hands became slower and slower. It seemed that it would take him half a quarter of an hour to figure out the specific placement of the next structure.
Just as the new zhenqi structure floated over, the entire dragon-shaped outline suddenly shook.
He Zong looked solemn.
Ling Duxian's heart was trembling, his limbs were tense, and he almost retreated backwards.
He felt that once the dragon-shaped outline exploded, he would be turned into fly ash, and he would not even have time to escape.
Although Su Hanshan's face was covered with sweat, his fingers were still steady, without any shaking, and he waved.
Thousands of Zhurong Divine Needles burst out from his arms and washed over the dragon-shaped outline, piercing and taking away all the large amounts of zhenqi structures in it.
There was an endless supply of divine needles, and they didn't stop until those infuriating structures were washed away, leaving only the first five imprints.
“Huh——”
Su Hanshan exhaled a breath of tiredness and closed his eyes.
“It seems that I am still too pressed for time, and I really can’t succeed in one attempt.”
“This time I failed, it will take at least a whole day to review the whole process and find out what happened. Something went wrong.”
While he was speaking, the five marks had flown back into his body, all the sweat on his face had evaporated, leaving him dry and refreshed, and his clothes were as neat as new.
Ling Duxian stared blankly at the place where the dragon-shaped outline was split and washed by Zhurong's magic needle, and a sense of melancholy gradually filled his chest.
"...Prefect Ling!"
The voice in his ear woke him up, and he saw Su Hanshan looking at him and seemed to have shouted several times.
Ling Duxian coughed lightly, lowered his head and said, "I wonder what your instructions are?"
"It's about the truck engine. Although building the mysterious tire just now failed, it gave me some thoughts."
Su Hanshan said, "You take those drawings..."
The words have not ended yet. After saying that, Su Hanshan's expression changed slightly and he looked to the east.
He Zong next to him also had a strange look on his face, looking towards the east sky.
He has gained a lot from studying the Golden Book of Ant Characters during this period. Combined with his original martial arts realm, although he cannot directly mobilize a large amount of Feng Shui evil spirits, he can already have a quite detailed sense.
In the feng shui evil atmosphere in the eastern part of Songjiang Mansion, a lot of death and silence suddenly surged.
