Chapter 40 Qingyang Palace (Please collect and read)
"Oh? Master Zhao has seen this thing?"
"Not bad."
Zhao Suling said: "This object is somewhat similar to what I used to make elixirs at home. It is said that hundreds of years ago, a Taoist senior added a lot of raw materials when making elixirs, and for some reason an explosion suddenly occurred."
"The power is so powerful that it even blows up the entire alchemy room."
"Most of them are gold, mercury, lead, sulfur, magnet, saltpeter, etc., and later they were gradually developed into fireworks and flames, which are set off during daily solar terms and festivals, especially during the New Year Festival..."< br>
That's it.
Mercury, sulfur, saltpeter, etc. are not the raw materials of explosives.
"It seems that this person is not a cultivator at all, nor has he mastered the secret method of cultivating immortality. Instead, he uses gunpowder and other things to deceive people."
Zheng Yi said: "Just a charlatan."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Zheng Yi smiled and said: "However, this person is considered a figure, and he can actually develop this thing."
"Liu Chengen!"
"The slave is here."
"Is there an official in the Ministry of Industry who is in charge of fireworks or who is familiar with fireworks and gunpowder?"
"This..."
Liu Chengen hesitated and said, "I have to ask you personally."
"Go back quickly. After asking questions, bring this person over."
"No!"
Liu Chengen left quickly, while Zheng Yi asked people to take away the four pocket bombs, and walked up to Lei Mingzi.
"Unlock his acupuncture points."
"No!"
Chen Liancang untied his acupuncture points. Unexpectedly, the man's body immediately softened and he collapsed on the ground.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, spare your life, your Majesty, spare your life..."
Zheng Yi said indifferently: "What kind of identity do you have? Tell me from the truth!"
"Otherwise, I will chop off your head!"
"Yes, yes yes yes..."
Lei Mingzi said quickly: "My real name is Lei Shitou. He was born in Qingyang Palace in Shuzhong."
"Most of the people in the Qingyang Palace are alchemy practitioners in the Qing Dynasty. I have been working in the alchemy room since I was a child and learned how to make alchemy, especially refining this... palm thunder!"
Talent! This is it!
Zheng Yi asked: "Zhenren Zhang, do you know about Qingyang Palace in Shuzhong?"
Zhao Suling nodded and said: "I know, he is also one of the famous and decent sect."
"There is a book called "Taishang Canggong Induction Scripture" in the temple, which records Taoist classics such as alchemy, important matters, meditation, formations, internal cultivation, etc. It is very precious."
"Is there anyone innately strong in the view?"
"None."
"Is there anyone who cultivates the truth?"
"It's... a long way. I haven't been to Qingyang Palace for more than thirty years." Zhao Suling hesitated and said, "Probably not."
Zheng Yi shook his head. These martial arts sects controlled local political power, ignored the court's decrees, and listened to the instructions but not the propaganda. They were really the enemies of the court.
But it's okay to say that he is an upright person, at least on the surface he will obey the court.
As for those demonic, evil sects, and even the underworld gangs, they did not take the court laws to heart at all.
Given time, these martial arts sects must be suppressed.
Search all the sects in the world to collect cultivation books and techniques!
"Thunder Stone!"
"The grassroots are here!"
Lei Shitou was trembling all over, thinking that Zheng Yi was going to kill him, so he quickly shouted: "Your Majesty, spare your life, Your Majesty, please spare your life..."
"Hey hey hey..."
Behind him, Chen Liancang suddenly sneered: "What you have committed is the crime of deceiving the emperor, and you should be executed according to the law!"
Lei Shitou was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, Your Majesty, please forgive me, the common people did not mean it..."
Zheng Yi glanced at Chen Liancang. This old eunuch was really good at reading people's hearts.
"Lei Shitou, if you answer my question to your satisfaction, I will spare your life."
"Even, I will give you great wealth."
Lei Shitou quickly knelt down and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please ask me!"
"The common people will tell you everything they know and tell you everything!"
"Very good, let me ask you, how are these palm thunders made?"
"Hui, your Majesty, this thing is made by Weichen, which is mainly made of crushed saltpeter, mixed with charcoal, sulfur and other substances."
"The composition of gunpowder is just different in proportion." Zheng Yi asked again: "Without a flame fuse, how did you make it collide and explode?"
"This..."
Lei Shitou hesitated for a moment, then looked around.
"This method is your secret. In the outside world, it is enough to become an ancestral secret recipe passed down. But here..." Zheng Yi said coldly: "The crime of deceiving the emperor is still the secret recipe of gunpowder. You can choose it yourself?"
< br>
"Yes, yes, yes, the villain understands!"
Lei Shitou hurriedly said: "Little, little man added will-o'-the-wisps inside. After a slight collision, a flame will be generated, which will then detonate the palm thunder."
Will-o'-the-wisp?
What the hell?
Could it be said that Lei Mingzi really has something to cultivate?
Wrong...
Will-o'-the-wisp?
A slight collision creates flames?
Depend on!
This is white phosphorus!
Zheng Yi was shocked. This kid was running around with a bunch of pills mixed with white phosphorus and gunpowder, but he was not killed by the explosion.
So lucky?
Are you still so close to him?
"You..."
Zheng Yi pointed at Lei Shitou. He really shouldn't be praising him for being a genius or having great destiny.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
At this time, Liu Chengen walked back quickly.
Behind him, there was a middle-aged man wearing navy blue official uniform.
"Your Majesty, bring Zhanliang, a foreigner from the Ministry of Industry!"
The middle-aged man walked a few steps quickly and knelt on the ground respectfully: "Zhan Liang, a member of the Weichen Ministry of Industry, has met His Majesty!"
"Your Majesty."
Liu Chengen introduced: "This person is a rare official in the Ministry of Industry who can make and keep fireworks and gunpowder. All expenses such as fireworks during palace festivals are in charge of this person."
"Zhanliang?"
"Your Majesty!"
"Can you recognize this thing?"
Zheng Yi pointed at the four palm thunders, and a Jin Yiwei immediately handed them over.
After watching it for a few seconds, Zhan Liang immediately said: "Your Majesty, it looks a bit like the pure 'Thunderbolt' from the Ministry of Industry, but it seems to be much smaller in size."
"Can the Ministry of Industry develop it?"
"This...can be done, but it will take time."
Zhan Liang hesitated and said: "But Your Majesty, if there is someone who develops this thing here..."
"The people who developed this are here."
Zheng Yi said: "Thunder Stone."
"The grassroots are here."
"How about I give you a chance to redeem your merits and work with Zhan Liang to develop a hundred palm thunders for me, and I will pardon your death penalty?"
"The common people thank the Lord for His kindness, thank the Lord for His kindness!"
Lei Shitou was overjoyed. He originally thought he would die, but his Majesty unexpectedly asked him to develop palm thunder.
He immediately pledged his vote: "The common people will not disappoint His Majesty!"
"Take it down!"
"Yes!"
Watching Lei Shitou and Zhan Liang leave, Zheng Yi waved to Lu Lian to come over.
"Watch him with two guards in royal robes. If he tries to escape, kill him without mercy."
"No!"
Lu Lian also retreated, and Zheng Yi turned around and looked at the other two 'strange people'.
The so-called Lei Mingzi was exposed, which caused a lot of shock and impact to the two of them.
At this moment, both of their eyes were a little nervous, but they were still holding on.
Zheng Yi arrived: "Since you two dare to expose my immortal order, you must have some ability."
"If you have real ability, I will not be stingy with rewards."
"But if you dare to deceive me...that would be the crime of deceiving the emperor!"
"Yes, yes, yes, the common people know."
"Chen Gou'er!"
"The grassroots are here!"
Chen Gouer was startled and shouted hurriedly.
"What are you capable of?"
"Grass, grass people can cultivate spiritual beasts!"
Chen Gouer quickly pulled out the wolfdog behind him: "Your Majesty! This spiritual beast can not only understand human speech, but it can also complete any command given by its master."
“He can even understand human language and calligraphy, which is amazing!”
