Chapter 374 Explosion Is an Art

In fact, Zhao Ya had already guessed this.

Because they were heading west all the way, and according to Wu Baoer's description, it would take thousands of miles to reach the wild jungle from the foreign land.

Although Zhao Ya and others walked most of the time to take care of Jin Fu, even so, with their speed, they still walked thousands of miles easily in the past ten days.

So even if this is not the wild jungle, it will not be too far away.

At this time, they had climbed halfway up the mountain. Zhao Ya looked far away and 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 strange." Zhao Ya said.

"That's natural. Now those tribes living in the wild jungle have learned their lesson. They all hide in the depths of the mountains and will not go out easily. Do you know why?" Liang Xin'an smiled at Zhao Ya.

"Is it related to me?"

"Of course it's related to you. You know, the last war between the Southern and Northern Canglongs destroyed not only the Southern Canglongs, but also the tribes living in the wild jungle and worshipping various natural gods. They suffered heavy losses."

Zhao Ya's heart moved when he heard this, and then he couldn't help asking: "Did the people of the Southern Canglong come here?"

"Of course they came, not only did they come, but they also plundered the statues that these tribes had worshipped for generations, which caused many wars. They even sent people to the Jizangzong Mountain, but we ignored them." Liang Xinan said lightly.

"If that's the case, then these tribes should have a life-and-death feud with the Southern Canglong, why did they work for Jing Pingsheng later?"

In fact, Zhao Ya had this doubt for a long time, but as time passed, even the Southern Canglong's base had been destroyed, and Jing Pingsheng's bones were rotten, so the reason was unknown.

Now seeing Liang Xinan suddenly mention it, Zhao Ya naturally wanted to find out the truth.

"In fact, I don't know about the war between the North and South Canglong. I just found a group of people in the sect who were plundering these tribes, so I asked once."

"As for the war between you and Jing Pingsheng, I didn't know about it until I went down the mountain, but from the descriptions of everyone and the clues left behind, this Jing Pingsheng is indeed extraordinary."

"He actually thought of absorbing the power of the gods with his mortal body and then refining it. If he really did it, he might break through the limit of immortals and mortals."

Liang Xinan rarely praised people, but he was generous to Jing Pingsheng.

"I think the reason why these tribes would work for him later was largely because he absorbed the power of the statues they worshipped. In this way, he was equivalent to the incarnation of these gods in the world, and these tribes would naturally obey him."

Speaking of this, Liang Xinan suddenly thought of something and looked up at Zhao Ya.

"So after Jing Pingsheng died, you didn't find his cultivation method?"

"No!" Zhao Ya shook his head.

He did not lie about this.

Because they did not find any clues left by Jing Pingsheng.

Zhao Ya thought about this at the time, but Jing Pingsheng's body was severely damaged and no valuable clues could be found.

Later, Qin Jianji also led a team to search the Nan Canglong's base, but the people stationed there had already learned the news and had left.

Except for some floating wealth, they found nothing.

This matter was later left unresolved.

"It's a pity. To be honest, Jing Pingsheng can find a way out of this road, which shows his talent. He just lacks a little luck and means."

In his words, Liang Xinan actually felt a lot of regret for Jing Pingsheng's experience.

Zhao Ya also knew that for people like Liang Xinan, secular moral sense is actually very indifferent.

What they value is often the exploration of the rules of this world.

As for other things, they are basically unimportant.

"So do you think this road can succeed?" Zhao Ya asked.

"Who knows, but every exploration of rules is precious, and I never think that there is only one way to reach the sky in martial arts practice!" Liang Xin'an said lightly, then stepped onto the ridge and pointed forward.

"Look, this is the headquarters of the Jiji Sect!"

Zhao Ya was thoughtful, as if he had thought of something, but he couldn't grasp the specific idea, so he could only give up temporarily.

Everyone stepped onto the ridge and looked up.

They saw a city standing in the embrace of the mountains.

Although it was far away, they could still feel the grandeur and magnificence of this city.

Not to mention anything else, the city wall alone was five feet high, and the whole body was made of black basalt, regular and straight, and looked very spectacular.

"How is it?" Liang Xin'an asked with some complacency.

"It's so beautiful!" Gui Xuanqing exclaimed sincerely.

"Haha, this is the work of the brothers from the Tiangong Department. I once told them that our Jiji Sect is located deep in the mountains, and no one comes here easily, so why build such a huge wall."

"In the end, they said they were idle anyway, so they built it in a few days." Liang Xin'an said lightly.

"Such a tall wall, it only took a few days?" Gui Xuanqing couldn't believe his ears.

"Yes, it does sound incredible, but you have to know that the power of machinery is beyond human imagination, so the seemingly difficult work was quickly built 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 go 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 it.

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, you or my legs!"

"Okay, let's compare!"

As she spoke, Liang Xin'an immediately put down the brakes.

The pulley rumbled, rushing rapidly 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 arrived at 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 when they got 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 could possibly happen? Why 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 up, why don't we blow up? If we don't blow up, how can we still be called the Thunder Fire Department? 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 bombing." 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.

And 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."

"But the explosion this time was quite powerful, so we have to write down the formula this time, so that we can use it as a disposable weapon in the future."

"I wrote it down a long time ago. The severity of the explosion in the workshop this time ranks among the top three in the hundreds of records before, so I think this explosion is very valuable."

"Not bad."

"Indeed!"

The group of people echoed, and even had some unsatisfied feelings in their tone.

Although they were quite far away, Zhao Ya still heard what these people said clearly, and couldn't help but laugh and cry.

The workshop was blown up, and these people still thought it was worth it.

What kind of crazy people are they?

At this time, the group of people also saw Liang Xin'an and others coming towards them, and the original argument stopped temporarily.

One of them stood up and said, "Brother Liang, did you just come back?"

"Yeah!" Liang Xin'an nodded.

Although he had always looked down on the Thunder and Fire Department, thinking that they had no technical aesthetics, Liang Xin'an had to admit that, in terms of madness, these people were the best in the Mechanical Sect after seeing these people's disheveled appearance and high spirits.

"Why did it explode again?" Liang Xin'an asked casually.

"Hey, recently we are testing a powerful and safe-storable gunpowder, but the formula ratio has not been well grasped, so the explosions have become more frequent." The man laughed.

"Are you all okay?"

"Don't worry, we have long been used to it. Explosion is an art, and being able to survive an explosion is also the 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 he could only encourage him.

"Okay, Senior Brother Liang, by the way, Senior Brother Liang, how is the explosive arrow we made for you before?"

"The effect is good, do you have more?"

Liang Xin'an relied on this explosive arrow before to almost take away Zhen Juncheng's people in one wave, so he was naturally very satisfied with its power.

"Yes, of course, and we have upgraded it. The design of the arrow has been changed. While the amount of powder is increased, the weight is also reduced. It can be said to be suitable for home travel..."

"Stop talking nonsense and tell me the price!"

The man held out two fingers.

Liang Xinan frowned, "Two mechanical orders are too expensive!"

"This is already the cost price. If you don't believe me, I can provide you with one. Try it first. I guarantee that you will be addicted after using it once."

"I have a good relationship with Senior Brother Niu from the Tiangong Department. I can ask him to help you repair the workshop." Liang Xinan 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 Xinan took Zhao Ya and others away from the ruins.

Until they walked a long way, Zhao Ya looked back and saw that this group of Leihuo disciples, who were all black and looked like savages, were still arguing fiercely about something, completely ignoring the explosions behind them.

Is this the Mechanical Sect that claims to be full of lunatics?

Sure enough... it lives up to its reputation!
