Origin

According to Wu Qin's idea, even if he went out, he should make a false shot to avoid being discovered by the city's agents and informed Wu Ao. However, Wu Zhongyuan did not adopt his suggestion. In the eyes of Wu Qin and others, he was just going out to hide, and In his opinion, he was out on business and there was no need to be sneaky.

He called Dasha over and drove the old blind man and the second child on their way. At this time, Wu Qin had another conflict with him. He left Huang Mao'er behind and continued to protect Wu Di, but Wu Qin was worried that they and his party would not be able to do anything. It is difficult to ensure safety when a master is accompanying him, so he has to bring Huang Mao'er with him.

After a long stalemate, he finally took Huang Mao'er with him. After thinking about it carefully, it was indeed unlikely that Wu Ao would attack Wu Di. Leaving Huang Mao'er behind was a serious waste of firepower.

Dasha took off and headed west. Jiang Nan had gone to Gushan before and had to go and pick her up.

With Huang Mao'er accompanying him and the Qi-tonifying elixir, there was no need to bring the dragon stick. He was really not good at using sticks, but after careful consideration he still brought it with him. However, he did not take it himself, but made it for the old blind man. Got crutches.

Jiang Nan's mother had never been in good health. She was very filial and went back to Lianshan on the way. When the group arrived at Gushan, she had just returned. Wu Zhongyuan did not delay from Gushan, picked her up and headed north directly.

In Wu Zhongyuan's impression, he has stayed in modern times for a long time. In fact, he has not been away for long. There have been no major events in the various clans in recent times. It would be wrong to say that nothing happened. Wu Ao did not lie that day. Da Kuang was indeed attacked by aliens some time ago, and Wu Junyue did go to rescue him. As for the situation of the battle, it is not clear yet. It is not known what aliens attacked Da Kuang. Da Kuang is the northernmost member of the Bear Clan. In Yuancheng, transportation is inconvenient, and news spreads slowly.

According to everyone's previous plan, the next stop is the Horse Clan in Northern Xinjiang, and they will go there this time.

On the way north, Wu Zhongyuan had been considering whether to go to the Kunlun Mountains again. He had already determined that the Yang soul stone had magical effects. There was also a black Yin soul stone on the lintel of the ruined temple, which could protect the soul. Injury, if you can get it, you will definitely need it in the future.

After pondering for a long time, he finally gave up the idea. The last time he went there, he also tried to exchange the elixir with the red-haired little fox for the soul-fixing stone. The little fox also wanted to exchange, but was stopped by an invisible force. Well, that invisible force not only prevented the little fox from taking off the soul-fixing stone, but also imprisoned the little fox in the ruined temple. Now that the other party had taken precautions, it would be even more difficult to get the black soul-fixing stone.

The white Yang soul-fixing stone was still handed to Jiang Nan, but when he handed it over, Jiang Nan turned it back. Although she didn't know the specific function of this stone, she knew that it did have a protective effect. Qianli only sent away his soul but failed to send away his body. This is the best proof.

Jiang Nan didn't answer, so Wu Zhongyuan handed it over again.

Jiang Nan pushed it back again, and Wu Zhongyuan delivered it again. At the same time, he said with a straight face, "The legend is true. This thing does have a protective effect. You should keep it properly."

When Wu Zhongyuan spoke, he secretly observed the expression of his second son from the corner of his eye. Although his second son looked at them, there was no look of envy or covetousness on his face. This made him very satisfied. Although his second son was cheap and poor, he was not greedy. , and no ambition.

Wu Zhongyuan was casual and easy-going, rarely showing serious expressions. Seeing his serious expression, Jiang Nan did not disobey him and reached out to take it.

After giving away the soul-fixing stone, Wu Zhongyuan turned to look at the old blind man, "Sir, do you know where there is something to heat the furnace?"

"You want to make weapons?" the old blind man asked.

"Well," Wu Zhongyuan nodded, "I have never had any weapons. Although I have black iron, it is difficult to melt it and forge it because it cannot be melted."

The old blind man closed his eyes and said nothing. It was obvious that he was thinking about something that could increase the temperature of the furnace.

Seeing that the old blind man remained silent, Wu Zhongyuan said again, "Do you know where there are geothermal volcanoes, or where thunder often falls from the sky?"

The old blind man said, "I have told you before that the Jiao Yi people who are located at the intersection of the river and the sea, in addition to making snake skin and dragon tendons, they also refine Jiao oil. The Jiao oil can burn and is very hot. If If you can get some, you can definitely use them to heat up the furnace. As for the geothermal volcanoes, there seem to be only two, one is located near Tianchi in the northeast, and the other is on an island in the southeast. However, these two volcanoes only occasionally have strong When smoke comes out, it stays silent most of the time and does not erupt all year round."

Hearing the old blind man's words, Wu Zhongyuan cast an admiring look at him. The two places the old blind man mentioned should be the Wudalianchi area in the Changbai Mountains and the Taiwan Island where Chiang Kai-shek lived. In modern geography, these two places are indeed densely populated with volcanoes. , and only these two areas have active volcanoes.

The old blind man added, "There is an island in the South China Sea called Fire Island. It covers a vast area. There are many rare birds and animals on the island. Legend has it that there is a valley there called Thunder Valley. In summer, there is a sky almost every afternoon. Thunder fell, but I only heard about it, not saw it with my own eyes."

"Mr. Erudite." Wu Zhongyuan said seriously. The Fire Island the old blind man mentioned should be Hainan Island in later generations. He didn't know if there was a Thunder Valley in that place, but it was indeed the place where lightning appeared most frequently in China.

"Ashamed, ashamed." Although the old blind man was humble, he had a smile on his face. No one did not want their recognition and appreciation, and the old blind man was no exception. The most important thing was that the old blind man was not very serious. people.

"Sir, have you ever seen the dragon oil burning?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again.

The old blind man didn't understand why Wu Zhongyuan asked this question and turned around in confusion.

Wu Zhongyuan felt that his statement was not very accurate, so he changed the question, "When flammable things burn, they will emit flames. The colors of the flames are different, and their degree of heat is also different. So what color is the dragon oil when it burns?" "

The old blind man understood and replied, "The Yi people have two skills of boiling salt with saltpeter to make a living. When boiling salt, they add dragon oil under the cauldron. The flames under the cauldron are mostly red. During celebrations and happy events, dragon oil will be burned. When illuminated by oil, the flame appears blue."

Wu Zhongyuan nodded slowly. The red flame can reach a maximum of three thousand degrees, and the blue flame can reach a maximum of more than four thousand degrees. However, this is only the temperature of the outer flame and cannot be regarded as the overall temperature.

Grease can indeed be used to raise the temperature. In ancient times, there were often legends about someone who failed to practice swordsmanship and threw his wife and children into the furnace, and then the flames surged and the sword was made. The essence is that grease is used to raise the temperature, but the wife is thrown away. Throwing a child away is wrong, but throwing a pig in has the same effect.

However, neither 3,000 degrees nor 4,000 degrees is enough. 3,000 degrees is only a little higher than ordinary fireworks, and 4,000 degrees is not even close to the 5,000 degrees of earth fire, which is the 5,000 degrees of volcanic magma.

"By the way," the old blind man suddenly remembered something, "the Yi people were buried in caves. In the cave where their ancestral graves are located, there is an ever-burning lamp that emits purple light."

"Purple?" Wu Zhongyuan vaguely saw hope. As a Qi practitioner improves his spiritual energy, the color of his spiritual energy will change. From low to high, it will appear in nine colors: red, blue, and purple. Those who have some understanding of the spectrum Everyone knows that the color of flames is the same. Purple fire only appears when the temperature is above 7,000 degrees.

"I was not blind at that time, and I could see clearly that it was purple." The old blind man said.

"Purple." Wu Zhongyuan rubbed his hands excitedly. The temperature of the thunder and lightning summoned by the wizard's method is not high. The temperature of naturally formed thunder and lightning can only reach about 8,000 degrees. The purple fire light is 7,000 degrees, which is not much lower than the sky fire and thunder. If it can be made If we bring back some of this grease, there is no need to send Li Dashou to Hainan Island. Lightning is uncontrollable and there is no guarantee of where it will strike. Don't miss Li Dashou and kill Li Dashou if it hits the meteorite.

"What do you want to do?" the old blind man asked with a smile, "That is the ancestral grave of the Yi people. Could it be that you want to extinguish their ever-lasting lamp?"

"That's not true. I was just thinking that if possible, I might as well exchange some." Wu Zhongyuan sneered.

The old blind man shook his head, "The oil used by the Yi people to worship their ancestors must be taken from some kind of rare dragon. It is very rare and I am afraid it will not be exchanged easily."

Seeing a worried look on Wu Zhongyuan's face, the second child interrupted from the side, "If you don't want to change? If you don't change, you will steal."

Hearing the second child's words, Wu Zhongyuan frowned and looked at it.

Seeing Wu Zhongyuan frowning, the second child hurriedly said, "Brother, you don't need to do anything about this, I'll go."

Wu Zhongyuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Everyone knows that you are following me now. What's the difference between you stealing from me? In the end, you still have to bear the blame on me?"

"We don't need to show up, we can dig a hole underground." The second child smiled evilly.

"It's a bit wicked." Although the old blind man said this, his tone and expression showed that he had no objection to the second son doing this.

Wu Zhongyuan smiled and said nothing. It was definitely unethical, but it was even more unethical to send Li Dashou to the island and risk being struck by lightning to build weapons.

Seeing that the three of them had reached a tacit understanding, Jiang Nan sighed helplessly. She was the second noblewoman of the Ox Clan, she was aboveboard, and she was very repelled from the bottom of her heart by this kind of behavior of "roosters crowing and dogs stealing".

Wu Zhongyuan saw Jiang Nan sighing, but he just pretended not to see it. There is no need to have a bottom line in life, but there is no need to ask yourself according to the standards of a saint. Who doesn't do something bad in this life, as long as it is not benefiting others at the expense of others, there is no need. Worried about it. To take a step back, even if he steals, he steals for the sake of the people of the world. He is fighting for the life and death of mankind. How can he do it without a handy weapon? To take a step back, any kind of ever-burning lamp belongs to feudal superstition. Using dragon oil to light lamps for the dead is a serious waste of strategic materials.

At watch time, a group of people left the Middle Earth and entered the Northern Territory. There was a clear dividing line between the Middle Earth and the Northern Territory. After entering the Northern Territory, the number of trees decreased significantly.

Wu Zhongyuan has seen the Suzaku in the south and the White Tiger in the west. When he comes to the northern border this time, he should go and see Xuanwu.

The area guarded by Xuanwu is located in the lower reaches of the Yinma River. It is a black water pool that is not connected to the water of the Yinma River. However, you can find the pool by walking downstream along the Yinma River.

However, their trip was to the Ma Clan, so there was a detour to meet Xuanwu.

Just when Wu Zhongyuan was hesitating whether to go to the Ma Clan or Xuanwu first, Jiang Nan suddenly raised his hand and pointed north, "Look."

Wu Zhongyuan raised his head when he heard the sound, and looked north along the direction Jiang Nan was pointing. He saw a few black shadows appearing in the northern sky. Because they were still far away, they couldn't see clearly. They weren't even black shadows, just a few black dots. .

Everyone was currently at the edge of the woods. To ensure safety, Wu Zhongyuan instructed everyone to retreat into the woods.

The few black spots that appeared in the north moved very fast, and after a while they were ten miles away. At this time, Wu Zhongyuan finally saw clearly what was coming. They were people, three people on horses. The leader was a tall woman wearing a dark purple cloak, riding a black horse with angry eyes. The black horse had a strong body and strong muscles, and clouds formed under its feet as it ran wildly. The two people behind were wearing purple cloaks and riding two big black horses. These two horses were not ordinary, they were also cloud-riding dragon horses.

Wu Zhongyuan all believes that these three people are all bear warriors. The leader of these three people is Wu Junyue, the leader of the bear warriors. This man rushed to Da Kuang not long ago. After expelling the invading enemy, he may not have returned to Youxiong, but went north along the way. The horse tribe.

When the three dragon colts galloped south and disappeared, the second one looked at Wu Zhongyuan and said, "Brother, are we still going to the horse tribe?"

"What the hell..."
