Pretend to be a fairy to farm

Chu Tianzhu is working hard in his secret workshop.

He stuffed gunpowder into a short and thick bamboo tube, connected the fuse, and sealed the opening.

On the table in front of him and on the ground, there are hundreds of these bamboo tubes neatly stacked.

Take five bamboo tubes as a group and tie them firmly to the top of the long bamboo pole to make a long-handled gunpowder launcher.

When using it, just ignite the fuse, hold the end of the long rod, and rush forward.

After the gunpowder in the bamboo tube was ignited, it exploded violently, continuously spraying flames and thick smoke forward, and no one could approach within ten meters.

If you mix ceramic chips, caltrops, etc. into the bamboo tube, and it will splash out with the explosion, the power will be even stronger.

The inspiration of the long-handle launching device comes from the lamps used in the night walk of Qiandeng in Huangjia Village.

At that time, Chu Tianzhu proposed to hang more than one pole to make a lamp group, which successfully solved the problem of insufficient manpower for the Thousand Lantern Festival in Huangjia Village.

After returning to Zhulin Xianju, Chu Tianzhu carefully improved and applied this method to the manufacture of weapons.

Most of the members of the rebel army are ordinary people, and their fighting skills are low.Moreover, under the strict control of the upper city, they only possess some melee weapons such as daggers and short knives.

These people with no combat experience, even if they hold sharp knives and face the heavily armed guards, the result can be imagined.

But if you equip them with these simple pole launchers, the situation will be completely reversed.

A long pole with five barrels of gunpowder can provide powerful firepower for the vanguard and clear the obstacles in front of it simply by igniting it - stretching it out.

Explosions and thick smoke can also deter the enemy, block their sight, and provide cover for our side.

After several experiments, Chu Tianzhu had determined the range and power of the injector, and he decided to make all the gunpowder in hand into a long-handled launcher.

Thanks to the unremitting efforts of Chu Tianzhu, the simple bamboo house is filled with long-handled launchers.

For the sake of safety, he went back and forth several times and moved all the weapons back to the supply station in the lower city for storage.

Chu Tianzhu left the empty secret workshop and returned to Zhulin Xianju for a short rest.

This batch of powerful weapons will undoubtedly greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of the rebel army, and make him feel a little more at ease.

He began to conceive of other weapons suitable for the rebels.The easiest to manufacture and use is actually the throwing type, which seals the gunpowder into a porcelain or iron can, ignites the fuze, and throws it into the enemy's line.

But the biggest flaw of throwing weapons is the limited range.The user is exposed to the range of the guards before the user reaches a distance sufficient to throw it.

We must find a way to create weapons with a longer range and more powerful power.

Every day Chu Tianzhu paints and draws in the bamboo house in the middle of the mountain, and picks up some fist-sized stones, throws them around, and measures the distance.

On this day, he was experimenting in the forest, and a mighty convoy appeared on the road up the mountain.

The convoy stopped outside the bamboo forest, and a fat figure jumped out of the carriage nimbly, then turned around, and helped down a frail scholar.

It was the two brothers Wang Wenju and Wang Wenxuan who came.

Wang Wenju's eyes were sharp, and he saw Chu Tianzhu at a glance, and went forward with a red face: "Master Bamboo! I have brought the materials needed by the master. The mountains are high and the road is far away, so the master has been waiting for a long time."

He enthusiastically led Chu Tianzhu to check the carriage.More than ten trucks were filled to the brim with all kinds of materials required by Chu Tianzhu.

The vehicles loaded with sulfur and saltpeter were extremely heavy, leaving deep ruts on the road.

"The fairy master asked to grind the ore-like materials into powder, but it was really difficult to transport, so I decided to transport the raw materials on my own. But the fairy master can rest assured that the tea garden on the mountain will be built soon, and I will send a few guys to stay there Here, specialists are responsible for grinding and processing the materials to be delivered to the immortal master."

Chu Tianzhu nodded: "Yes."

Wang Wenju was high-spirited: "There is another happy event to tell the immortal master. After the little girl from the Du family took a bigu pill, there was a gurgling sound in her stomach, and she was able to walk on the ground within a moment. Now she has recovered, no different from ordinary people."

Du Xiaomei was fine at first, and she pretended to be sick just to escape the marriage. Since the marriage contract was broken, she would seize the opportunity of "rehabilitation" that came to her door.

Wang Wenxuan was walking with his elder brother this time, and he had already learned the truth of the matter, and turned his head away in embarrassment.

Chu Tianzhu: "It's good that people are fine."

Wang Wenju: "There is one other thing that needs to be reported to the immortal master. My Wang family's Baicaotang will open a branch in Jingzhou next month. At that time, an auction will be held to auction the remaining two bigu orders. I don't know the immortal master. Do you want to be there in person?"

Chutian Zhuxin got the materials, and just wanted to start work as soon as possible, and had no intention of going out: "I am cleaning up in the mountains, and those mundane things are up to you to arrange. There is only one thing, you must remember: you must tell the buyer truthfully, this pill It only serves as a meal replacement, and it cannot be misunderstood by people as thinking that it can be used as medicine. If I find out that you are using this pill as a deceit...you can go to the surrounding area to inquire about it, Master Bamboo's method."

Wang Wenju looked solemn: "I will obey the order of the immortal master and will not do anything to hurt others."

Chu Tianzhu nodded: "Very good. If you can do what you say, I can refine Bigu Pills in the future and put them in your Baicao Hall for sale."

He remembered Ji Xuanling's suggestion: "In addition, this pill can be ground into powder, and made into honeyed pills by the method of honey refining. The effect will be slightly reduced, but it is more suitable for consumption. You can decide for yourself how to sell it."

After Wang Wenju took notes carefully, he began to call on the guys to unload the goods and move boxes of materials into the warehouse for temporary storage.

He kept a close eye on several distinctive and delicate boxes, and told the guys to handle them with care—these were fine wines that Wang Wenxuan brought from Qingzhou specially.

Cotinus cotinus finished his homework and came out for activities, just in time to see his master and Wang Wenxuan standing on the boulevard.

There was a smirk on the corner of his mouth, and he said to Wang Wenxuan: "You are back, have you ever seen the bride who has never been married?"

Wang Wenxuan immediately frowned: "It can be regarded as seeing her. But men and women are different, I only talked to her for a while through the screen."

Cotinus cotinus blinked her big eyes: "What do you mean, you brought Bigu Dan and cured her illness, and she saw that you are young and handsome, so she wants to make a promise to you?"

When Wang Wenxuan was mentioned this absurd marriage, his cheeks were flushed: "Oh...that's two different things. You don't want to read any more messy scripts in the future. The stories on it are all made up and can't be taken as true."

He sighed deeply: "I used to always think that everything is arranged by my parents and elder brother. It's really good, so I thought everyone is like this. I didn't expect to wake up suddenly after talking with Du Xiaomei. Life is alive. , when looking for things that you really love and are willing to devote yourself to regardless of everything. In vain, I boast that I have read thousands of volumes, and for so many years, I just drifted with the tide and wasted my time."

Cotinus Cotinus: "What I really like..." He thought about it again and again, a little at a loss, "I don't seem to have such a thing, Master, do you have it?"

Chu Tianzhu patted his head: "I can't say I like something, but I have to do it anyway."

"You are still young, don't worry, just grow up well. When you have seen the outside world and seen enough, you will understand it naturally."

Wang Wenxuan agreed: "Indeed, no matter what I did in the past, it seemed that I did it for others, so I could give up easily. Until I went to Xianshan and saw the century-old tea tree. At that time, I was thinking 'so good It’s a pity to die, and I’ve only persisted in the mountains alone for a long time. I think I’ve found what I really want to do, and I want to stay, manage the tea gardens, and take care of these tea trees.”

After handling the goods, the two brothers of the Wang family left and went down the mountain. They still had to arrange the caravan, inspect the tea garden, and there were many other things to be busy.

Not long after they left, the village head came to the bamboo forest halfway out of breath.

Chu Tianzhu invited the village chief into the house: "The weather is hot and it is not easy to go up the mountain, why did the village chief come here in person?"

The village chief smiled all over his face: "I haven't thanked the immortal master for helping me with the Thousand Lantern Festival earlier."

Chu Tianzhu: "It's nothing more than a little effort. It is all the villagers who participated in this matter."

The village chief's attitude was more cordial: "Master Bamboo is always so humble. The old man came here this time because he actually wanted to ask the master for something."

"The village chief said it's okay."

"The thing is like this. Since the Thousand Lantern Festival, many tourists and businessmen have come to look for immortals. The village is really very lively. But after these days, they found nothing and gradually left. Now there are only a few A particularly persistent one still lives in the village and goes up the mountain to look for it every day. If this continues, the village will soon return to its former state, and there will be no more tourists.”

Chu Tianzhu: "Is that going to hold another lantern festival? I can help improve the lantern array and change some new patterns."

The village chief shook his head: "The old man thought about it carefully, and found that the reason why he couldn't keep tourists was because the light belt was too illusory and unattractive. After thinking about it, there needs to be a real fairy story in it, Only then can it continue to attract tourists.”

Chu Tianzhu stroked his chin: "A real story about immortals... Shall we also make a relic of Emperor Kaiyuan?"

The village chief waved his hands again and again: "I dare not, the story of Emperor Kaiyuan has been thoroughly studied by later generations. When people talk about Jingzhou and shout, thousands of experts on the history of Emperor Kaiyuan will come out. I really want to declare There is the remains of Emperor Kaiyuan here, and those experts who come to appraise it will definitely reveal their secrets."

He moved a little closer and lowered his voice: "What I mean is, Master Bamboo Immortal, show your face in the mountains and help our villagers put on a show, so that those who are looking for immortals can witness it with their own eyes and believe it is true. After spreading the word, Why worry about tourists not coming."

Chu Tianzhu smiled, "The village chief wants me to pretend to be a fairy?"

The village head showed him a flattering smile: "Master Zhu is a person with real abilities, how can he be called a fake. Whether outsiders believe it or not, the villagers of our Huangjia Village will always have one heart with Master Immortal."

In fact, the village head did not fully believe in Chu Tianzhu's "immortal" status, and has always been making a big fuss about it out of pragmatism and seeking development.

Chu Tianzhu was not very surprised by this, and besides, his identity as an "immortal" was hard to say whether it was true or not.

Apart from being able to travel between the two worlds with the help of that magical stone, Chu Tianzhu really does not have the extraordinary abilities of the legendary immortals.

But if people in this world define the traverser Chu Yan as an immortal, then Chu Tianzhu, who is also a traverser from another world, should also be regarded as an immortal.

But there is no need to worry about whether he is a real immortal or not.The village chief just wanted to attract tourists and drive the development of Huangjia Village.

Based here, Chu Tianzhu has been taken care of by the village head and villagers. He is willing to help these people get a better life.

Seeing Chu Tianzhu nodding, the village chief patted his chest and assured: "Don't worry, Immortal Master, I will arrange everything properly."
