Chapter 280

"Army?!"

Luo Changshan stood up from the chair in surprise.Twirling his beard, he walked back and forth quickly.His face was frowning, and his eyes were full of thought.It can be seen that Luo Changshan was very touched by the two methods given by Zhang Yan just now.

The previous point was fine.Work hard to recruit students from Mengxue Middle School and pre-Mengxue children. Zhang Yan actually told Luo Changshan about this before.Luo Changshan still remembered it at this time.At that time, he did not realize that recruiting students would be so difficult and involved such difficult difficulties.So he didn't take Zhang Yan's suggestion seriously.I still feel that it is too troublesome, and I am just a beginner, and it remains to be seen whether I am smart or not. In this way, the time will be too long, and it is easy to form a situation where the good and the bad coexist among the students.This is far from Luo Changshan's idea of ​​"receiving only excellent talents".

But then was then, and now is now.After being knocked into a daze by the trapped reality, Luo Changshan had no choice but to seriously consider Zhang Yan's idea.Lower the threshold for students, and even take the initiative to contact those children of the lower class who have no family background or study just to make a living.It is also possible to pay back money, because it is necessary to build Mongolian studies and send teachers.If this path is really followed, the cost will definitely not be low.

Although I don't know if the effect is as good as Zhang Yan speculated.However, it should be no problem to avoid the imprisonment of the main faction and the current predicament.

The main surprise was the second point, which made Luo Changshan need to digest it for a while, because it was too unexpected.

"That's right, it's the army! Today, [-]% of the generals in the army are from the School of Martial Arts. The time when I was exposed to the mainstream school of thought from a young age was only a short period of three to five years after I was born. When entering school, they mainly study strategy and martial arts. In terms of knowledge, there are also some aspects, but it is not a specific school. Compared with miscellaneous studies, the hostility is very small, and some even have good intentions.

Senior Luo should know about this.

In addition, I have worked in Yubei Mountain Fortress for two years, which is actually the place with the most complete equipment of all kinds of ordnance in Nanyuan.But in many cases, it is still difficult to rely on ordnance in the face of the attack of the monster clan, and can only use life to fill it.Or the number of useful ordnance is too small to be able to benefit a fortress at all.It boils down to the reason why the cost is too high and difficult to popularize.

Therefore, for the military, ordnance is an important research direction that definitely has broad prospects and must be valued.In this regard, there are many places where miscellaneous studies can be compared by analogy.If you can get in with peace of mind, you should get results in a short time.At that time, you will be able to stand firm, and the army is still begging. "

Zhang Yan added a lot.The meaning is basically expressed clearly.After that, it depends on what Luo Changshan thinks when he goes back.

"Ordnance? The knowledge of miscellaneous studies can indeed make inferences in that respect, but it can make ordnance to kill people..." Luo Changshan didn't say the rest of the sentence.Because knowledge has always been "pure" in the minds of scholars of miscellaneous studies.It is still difficult to adapt to the current time to actively use it to study the ordnance of killing people.But at the same time, Luo Changshan also understood that what Zhang Yan said was indeed a feasible strategy.

"Mr. Zhang's vision is indeed extraordinary. The old man's eyes were opened by two ways, so I'll go back and discuss with those old men. I won't bother you. Farewell!"

"Senior Luo, please go ahead."

Luo Changshan hurriedly came and left.Zhang Yan did not continue to stay in the academy for a long time.Calling Wang Nian and Yang Rui means school is over.

Now Wang Nian and Yang Rui have completely played together. "Brother Stone" has been yelling naturally from Yang Rui's mouth.And Wang Nian also nicknamed Yang Rui "Wood", saying that Yang Rui seldom smiles and keeps a straight face like a little adult all day long.

"Teacher, brother Shitou said today that sunrise and sunset, rain and wind are all the way of heaven and earth. But this is the normal state of heaven and earth, how could it have something to do with 'Tao'?"

Now not only Wang Nian is studying Daoist scriptures, but also Yang Rui.The reason for this was what Zhang Yan was worried about before.He was worried that this part of the world in Huangtianyu would not help monks other than him to cheat on "enlightenment".In that case, enlightenment depends on oneself.The earlier you start, the stronger the foundation will be.When the mind matures, it will naturally pave the way for enough enlightenment gains for breakthroughs.At least before Dao Dan Realm, the requirements for enlightenment are not high.Zhang Yan is sure of this.

"The word Tao is all-encompassing. The ultimate principle of heaven and earth also exists in Tao. Although the sun rises and sets, it is common, but it is indeed a kind of 'Tao'. But it is not our 'Tao' but the 'Day of Heaven'. You can refer to Enlightenment cannot be applied arbitrarily.”

"The way of heaven? What about our way?"

"When you are hungry, you have to eat. It is one of the ways of our beings. The 'way' here can be divided into two words, 'need and beg'..."

Although Zhang Yan's "enlightenment" came from Huang Tianyu's cheating, it will not disappear, but will be deeply engraved in his consciousness.He is also actively sorting out these "reasons" in his consciousness, hoping not only to "engrave" but to integrate them into his entire practice.

Although it is not possible to talk about completely absorbing it now, at least Zhang Yan's understanding of "Tao" can be used to talk about his feelings and experiences.Naturally, there is no problem in dealing with youngsters like Yang Rui and Wang Nian.

The royal guards on the side were also listening, and they were also listening curiously, but they clearly understood, but they didn't understand what they needed to "enlighten" these principles.Isn't it normal that the sun rises and sets?Do you still need enlightenment?

In fact, it's not just these inexplicable words that Yang Rui's guards think, but also what Yang Rui learned in the classroom and what Zhang Yan taught, almost every detail was recorded by the guards and reported to the royal family to keep and Research.Most of them are incomprehensible to them.

For example, those crooked "numbers".For example, the so-called "divine mantras" that are hard to understand, and the so-called "acupoints" on the human body that are simply invisible and intangible.These are all things beyond understanding.Even if he recognized Zhang Yan's abilities, he still had no way of knowing what these things were for and what they were useful for.

What made the royal family even more confused with the dictation they got from Yang Rui was the "stories" that Zhang Yan was telling for fun.

Who is Monkey King?Who is the Jade Emperor?Chang'e, Giant Spirit God...

It is said to be a story, but the humanities revealed in it are not like fabrications at all, and are more contextual, and the logic is basically the same.

There are races, demon races, gods, and "immortals" who seem to exist like gods.There are many similarities in the key desolate world.

This has to worry the royal family of Nanyuan Kingdom behind Yang Rui.

Chapter 281 Guess

Yuanding Imperial City, Imperial Palace.

After Yang Sheng finished processing the last document of the day, he turned his head and looked at the moon hanging high outside the window.Calculating the time, it was almost Hai Hour.This time is still "early" for him.He was still busy at this time yesterday.

"Your Majesty, would you like some noodle soup?"

"Well, serve it up." Yang Sheng ordered without looking back.He has the habit of eating supper after he is busy at night.Clear noodle soup is his most common and favorite supper.

In a short while, a small table and a bowl of noodle soup with excellent color and fragrance arrived in front of Yang Sheng, and an eunuch waited on him.

"Is there any precedent for the thing that Qingling said two days ago?" Yang Sheng blew on the noodles, picked up one to test the temperature, felt a little hot, and took the time to ask.

"Returning to Your Majesty, I have checked all the relevant documents in the royal family, and found no similar records. I went to the Yuanding Military Academy for consultation yesterday, and I hope to check again through their caliber. The soonest There will be no final results until five days later."

nodded.The Nanyuan Kingdom was split from the Qiande Dynasty, and the things that inherited the Qiande Dynasty were all divided in half from the Beiwu, so there will inevitably be many shortcomings.But even if there is no conclusive news, Yang Sheng actually had something in his heart from the beginning.

"A piece of paper, burn it and submit it with spirits, so that you can have a huge power beyond the limit. The consequence is that you will lose your mobility in a short period of time, and you will have to cultivate for more than ten days. This thing is simply out of the scope of our cognition .

Just like the "The Method of Refining Skin and Flesh with Medicine".The people at the Royal Hospital took the dregs of the medicine and tried repeatedly, but all failed without exception.Couldn't even touch the edges.

A note of guilt came from the imperial hospital.But I understand it's not their fault.The medicinal properties of those medicinal materials are in conflict with each other, and they are not in harmony with the pharmacology.But Zhang Yan was able to mix it to produce a miraculous effect, there must be another reason for it.For example, those densely packed symbols on the tub.

It's just that we don't understand, so we can't see the clues.

From this point of view, it seems that it has a lot in common with the ashes and pieces of paper swallowed by wine that Qingling said. "

It seems to be talking to itself, and it seems to be explaining to others.After talking for a while, Yang Sheng started to ramble.He quickly finished the small bowl of noodles and drank the noodle soup.

"Xiao Shisan's recent reports are also very interesting. I heard that many people in the royal family are too busy. They can't study the knowledge taught by Zhang Yan, and they can't figure out whether the stories Zhang Yan told are obscure or not. .

Huh, what do you think?What kind of person is Zhang Yan? "

"I don't dare to speak nonsense. But I feel that Zhang Yan seems to be unusual in every way. Especially the various methods, as if they appeared suddenly, without any relevant traces in advance."

Yang Sheng pushed open the door and went to the small garden behind the study.The eunuch has been bending over to follow behind.

"There is also an echo from the special case department. I got the bone strengthening pill, and the bell that can trap the spirit race that was found in the hands of the demon species before. It seems that we have asked a lot for that Zhang Yan.

You are in charge of the Special Cases Division, and you know this best.What are you going to do with that inkstone? "Yang Sheng stopped as he spoke, and turned to look at the eunuch who was following him.

"Return to Your Majesty. The information sent back by the special case officer Shen Wujiu is extremely terrifying. According to what he saw, Zhang Yan's methods of dealing with the spirit race are far more terrifying than the killing methods he showed in Langyuan City. In addition The kind of bell that was taken out at the back. It seems that there is some way to increase one's own strength through the spirit race."

"Huh?! Are you sure?" Yang Sheng interrupted the other party's words with a bit of surprise.This seemed to be another judgment beyond his cognition.

"The slave is also guessing, and I can't make a conclusion. However, based on the life of Zhang Yan in recent years, it is difficult to rule out the conjecture of the slave."

"Tell me more."

"It's Your Majesty. Zhang Yan was involved in a murder case three years ago, and he almost wanted to be executed. As luck would have it, Yubeishan Fortress was in short supply of convict soldiers. As a result, he was spared death for the time being, and went all the way to Chonglan County. Afterwards, he began to throw away Uncovering a bunch of skills that are completely irrelevant to his original life experience. Whether it is the Kongming Lantern or the Eight Diagrams Array. It is the reason why he earned credit for his crimes at that time and finally cleared his crimes.

Now that I think about it, the names of Kongming Lantern and Bagua Formation still follow Zhang Yan's current style, which makes people feel very weird.

And during the time at Yubei Mountain, he can be said to have lived and died several times.The strength is a bit stronger than ordinary people, and it is far from being comparable to warriors.After Zhang Yan returned to Langyuan City, he never showed his killing methods.Until the auction house a few months ago, he directly killed two masters of the Hundred Refinement Realm.

How could it be possible for an ordinary person to become so tyrannical in just three years by ordinary means?The only thing that can be thought of is the way that the spirit race relies on devouring other forces to strengthen themselves.This may be the reason why Zhang Yan took out that strange bell, asked the special case department and the demon species to help him catch the spirit clan, and was even willing to use the bone strengthening pill in exchange. "

That is to say, Zhang Yan is not here, otherwise he would jump up and applaud when he heard the other party's words.Although the other party didn't guess correctly, it was not far from the correct answer.The difference is that Zhang Yan didn't swallow those ghosts after getting them, but superseded them.His benefits are not obtained from ghosts, but from this world in the Huangtianyu.

"Speaking of which, if your guess is correct, then Zhang Yan will continue to become stronger quickly with the 'help' of the special case department and the demon species?"

"Yes, that's what the slave thinks."

Yang Sheng nodded slightly, and continued to take a walk in the small garden.But it is inevitable to feel awkward in my heart.In the past, when encountering talents with great potential like Zhang Yan, if they were not snatched away by the Martial Arts Institute, then Nanyuan Kingdom would have no matter what.But this Zhang Yan made Yang Sheng feel helpless.In a short period of time, you have to rely on the other party to tide over the difficulties, so you can't act rashly.In the long run, the other party may grow to the point where Nanyuan Kingdom can't even move.

The eunuch followed Yang Sheng for a while, and asked tentatively, "Your Majesty, there have been some changes in Huayue's side recently, and several urgent reports have been sent to Huayue's country. It seems that there are still arrangements. It has reached this point now, If you only hope for the Bone Strengthening Pill, the slave feels that it is still not safe. After all, even if everything goes well, Hua Yue does not know the situation of Prince Qing, but Prince Qing will only hit the middle stage of the Hundred Refinement Realm. What if Guo Yulong has If Huayue's talented princes were recruited in advance, the situation would still be unresolved.

So the slave thought that maybe he could really try Princess Qingling's method, let Zhang Yan come to Yuanding Imperial City, and then lend him a helping hand? "

Yang Sheng stopped in his tracks again, looked at the eunuch behind him with a half-smile, and said, "By the way, I'll let you try his depth, right?"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Chapter 282 Prototype

"come over."

In the small stone room in the Zangfeng Building of the Jiangwu Academy, Zhang Yan waved to He Xianghong who was standing in the corner with a dark metal arm covered with gold and silver patterns.

The latter bent over in response.He exposed the severed arm on the left without ordering, knowing in his heart that this was the master who was going to try his arm again.

He Xianghong was used to this.Even since he followed Zhang Yan for more than a month, the changes in his inner feelings and mentality can be described as earth-shaking.

First of all, He Xianghong had never enjoyed such an efficient and luxurious practice.I used two packs of muscle and bone powder in one month, and the black market price was high.It was so extravagant that he himself felt guilty.However, the effect was also obvious, the two packs of muscles and bones loosened, and the bottleneck in the early stage of Yuan Kai, which had trapped him for a long time, was immediately loosened, and he felt the signs of a breakthrough without even using the bone strengthening pill given by the master.At most press again, and within three days it will surely break through.

In the past, when I was a bandit, I worked so hard for a year that I might not be able to afford a piece of muscle and bone powder. I depended on Yushan Niang and slowly boiled it. Whether I can break through the realm depends on luck.Now that he is a slave, his practice is smooth and his resources are abundant.This had to make He Xianghong full of emotion.

In addition to the improvement in cultivation, what made He Xianghong even more excited was the metal arm that Zhang Yan was equipping on him at this time.

There are six barb-like blades at the end of the arm, which will penetrate directly into the flesh, and then hook the shoulder and shoulder blade as a fixation, so as to bear the full weight of the metal arm.This process was a bit painful, and it made He Xianghong sweat every time.But he does not reject it.First of all, after experiencing the torture of "soft bones", this little pain is nothing!Secondly, He Xianghong knew very well that once the metal arm was made, the biggest beneficiary would be himself.

"Feel it and see if you can control it."

"Yes, Master."

After the expected pain, He Xianghong felt the drape of his left arm for a long time, which was the feeling he only had when he had an arm.Over the years, He Xianghong always returns to his dreams, imagining the days when he was physically healthy.Now that he has regained this sense of draping, it is difficult for him to calm down every time.

Gather your mind.Following Zhang Yan's instructions, He Xianghong began to feel the metal arm attached.

As before, after the arm was connected to He Xianghong's bones, he felt a warm feeling.It seemed that the barbs anchored to his bones were forming some kind of fit with his body, waiting for his feedback.

In the previous two times, the first time he sensed his arm, He Xianghong's head hurt sharply, and he passed out from the pain.Although the second time was not dizzy, it was only pain, and there was no other improvement.

This is the third time like this, He Xianghong is ready to face the pain, but it is much milder than the pain he expected, the kind that is completely tolerable, and can even be ignored if his attention is distracted.

"This...you can! You can move! Master! This arm can move!"

"I saw it." Zhang Yan's voice became much calmer.He was the one who made this metal arm magic weapon, so he had some idea of ​​what would happen, so naturally he wouldn't be too surprised.

"Move your fingers, move them casually, I'll see if you can move each of them."

"Good master!" He Xianghong responded quickly, his face flushed from excitement and forced restraint.But after a while, he frowned and said, "Master, I still can't move my thumb. In addition, there is an obvious stiffness when the elbow is bent..."

Zhang Yan memorized everything.These are the areas where he needs to improve in the next step.And it was already a major breakthrough for him.At least this magic weapon has a certain degree of connection with He Xianghong's body, instead of the initial conflict that caused severe pain.

In general, the completion of this magic weapon arm has gone more than half of Zhang Yan's vision.Moreover, his own crafting skills have also advanced by leaps and bounds in the past month, especially in the description and use of compound magic circles. He feels that he has entered a new level.Even if he is not yet a master of formations, he still thinks that he is a "experienced hand" who has stepped into the threshold and made some self-improvement.

These crafting techniques are not limited to the "legs" and other magic weapons, but lead to the rapid improvement of Zhang Yan's overall crafting level.

Wang Lanping's experience at home is that the necklaces given to her by the second son are always changing and becoming more and more exquisite, and she always feels a bit wasteful.

In fact, exquisiteness is only a change in appearance, and the internal change is even greater.It is already enough to get the top-level magic weapon with both offense and defense in the low-grade magic weapon.

Zhang Yan felt that if he could make the "vessel limb" as he imagined, then he could start to refine the medium-grade magic weapon.

"Okay. Try your smashing strength again." Zhang Yan put away his imagination and continued to guide He Xianghong to test the effect of this limb.

"Good host!"

After saying that, He Xianghong walked up to a large iron ingot piled up in the corner, and slammed down the metal arm on the left with a fist. There was only a deafening impact sound, and then the metal arm could be seen smashing the iron ingot out. A dent as deep as an inch, it can be clearly seen that the dent prints the shape of the side of the palm.

He Xianghong's eyes widened.He is a martial artist in the early stage of Yuan Kai, so he naturally knows how much strength it takes to punch such a mark on an iron ingot with his fist.Even with the physical strength of the warriors at the beginning of the Yuan Kai stage alone, it is actually impossible to achieve such an effect. It needs to be attached to the arm with vitality and then smashed with all its strength.

In other words, He Xianghong realized at this time that this metal arm is not just a simple way to "re-health" him, but also a rare treasure to enhance his strength!

According to Zhang Yan's plan and judgment, the limb should not only be a low-grade magic weapon when it is completed, but it is very likely to become Zhang Yan's first middle-grade magic weapon.He was not just a "prosthesis" from the beginning, but a prosthesis with the power of a magic weapon.

After some tests, Zhang Yan took off the limbs under He Xianghong's reluctant eyes, but did not melt them again.Because the basic framework is no longer a problem, what needs to be changed is the details inside.So there is no need to rework everything.

Put away the limbs and ask He Xianghong to wrap them in a cloth and take them back.Zhang Yan is going to work harder and strive to get the first finished product out this month.Only with the finished product can we continue to study the limbs that ordinary people like Zhang Shun can use.

But as soon as Zhang Yan came out of the Zangfeng Tower, he saw Xiao Shu standing not far away, and greeted him with a smile when he came out.

"What's the matter?" Zhang Yan thought with a smile in his heart.

Chapter 283 Requirements

He Xianghong was called back by Zhang Yan, and he followed Xiao Shu in the forest behind Zangfeng Building while talking about things.

"Jiaoxi Zhang, I came to you this time to ask, whether the magic method you used to help Princess Qingling can be used on other people? Or can this method be different according to the situation."

Zhang Yan smiled, not pretending to be confused.He used it for Princess Qingling before, so he was not afraid of being pointed out by someone later.Besides, it's just a yellow scarf wrestler talisman, what is it?

"It's just a small trick. It can deal with some situations. The advantage lies in concealment. Otherwise, I couldn't help Princess Qingling last time."

Xiao Shu heard the meaning of Zhang Yan's words, and the smile on his face became stronger, knowing that his errands today should not be difficult to complete.

"Zhang Jiaoxi's ability is really admirable. If this is the case, there may be things that Zhang Jiaoxi needs to worry about."

"Oh? The Xiao court judged, but it doesn't matter."

"A letter from His Majesty. Zhang Jiaoxi can read it by himself."

While talking, Xiao Shu took out a small brass pipe half the length of an index finger from his arms and handed it to Zhang Yan.There is a seal on the copper pipe and a seal.Appears to be in good condition.But the word "Huang" on the brass tube also shows that this thing is unusual.

This is Fei Yuxin.It is a communication method in which birds carry letters.Similar to homing pigeons, but much faster and farther than homing pigeons.But this thing is rare and extremely difficult to train.Zhang Yan also saw it once in Yubeishan Fortress, this is the second time.
