As the bronze man's eyes glowed, mantras intertwined all over his body, the light glowed like a tide, and a low roar sounded.
In the casting pit, the fire slurry was also oscillating and undulating.
The sound that echoed in the cave was due to the incantations on the bronze man's body, which pulled the vitality of heaven and earth into his body and collapsed.
In the void, vitality gathers.
One of the difficulties in casting the Twelve Bronze Figures is that during casting, the array structure must be buried in the body in advance, which is as complex as the meridians of the human body and is used to circulate the energy of heaven and earth.
After this bronze figure was activated, it began to use the array structure to absorb the breath of heaven and earth.
At this moment, inside the bronze man's body, a lake of vitality is constructed corresponding to the human lower abdomen, which is the location of the Dantian.
The vitality of heaven and earth absorbed by the countless curse patterns on the surface of its body eventually converged into this lake of vitality, becoming the source of its power.
Boom!
The bronze man took a step, and everything in the cave began to shake.
"What a pity." Zhao Huai looked at him from a distance.
This bronze figure is still incomplete.
The repair done by Lao Sikong and others only meant that the incantation on the bronze man's body was repaired and engraved again so that it could resume operation.
The missing right arm of the Bronze Man has not yet been completed.
The crack in the chest was patched with bronze, and then the corresponding spell symbols were added to the patch to connect it throughout the body, allowing the bronze man to successfully revive after a thousand years of silence, and to have the ability to take action and fight.
At the end of the season, where he can remain calm most of the time, he has lost expression management.
His face was full of excitement: "The sacrifice and refining technique of this bronze man is the wonder of creation.
If it were complete, I'm afraid it would give birth to immortals and demons."
Zhao Huaizhong jumped into the air and appeared in front of the bronze man's face.
Its face is ancient and square, and its face is also densely covered with curse patterns and other symbols. Especially in the pupils of its eyes, the symbols are dense and the light is colorful.
When you get closer to the bronze figure, you can even feel its mountain-like oppressive force.
Zhao Huaizhong reached out and touched a symbol between the bronze man's eyebrows. With a clang, the symbols all over the bronze man's body moved together, and the huge body actually showed signs of growth.
It became taller, growing at least ten feet in height.
Zhao Huaizhong mastered the correct use of the bronze puppet and knew how to control each symbol on its body.
According to the Bronze Man Sacrifice Method recorded on the Immortal Platform Pillar, the body of this bronze puppet can grow to a maximum of thirty feet, and correspondingly, it can shrink to only five or six feet in height.
But the mutilated bronze man in front of me does not have these changes.
When Zhao Huaizhong touched the symbol between his eyebrows, his height only increased by ten feet.
I don’t know how much the combat ability is inferior to that of a complete bronze man... Zhao Huaizhong thought to himself.
The wilderness outside Xianyang City.
Lieutenant General Zhao Huai put the bronze figure into a small gourd and brought it out, preparing to test its power.
On this day, the Xianyang wilderness was under full martial law by the Qin army.
In the area under martial law, the ground shook and the explosions sounded like thunder.
There was a 100-meter-high mountain that was shaken and broken by the bronze man, who was walking with one arm in his hand.
Lao Sikong’s magical forehead, whose hairline changes from time to time, shines brightly:
"Your Majesty, Wei Chen and others have tried it once before. Carrying a hundred feet of mountains on a piggyback is still not the limit for this bronze man."
The Twelve Bronze Men don't have many fancy abilities. Their biggest feature is their infinite power.
Lifting mountains is like lifting bricks, it is indeed a child's play.
It is said that the gathering of twelve bronze figures can move the land of Kyushu.
Zhao Huaizhong secretly compared it to the fact that when the Yin Shang Dynasty refined this bronze figure, they only produced a defective product.
At present, the incomplete bronze figure that Lao Sikong and the others have repaired has to be discounted. It has at most 30 to 40% of the power of the complete bronze figure, and is still missing an arm.
It can be inferred from this that the strength of the complete bronze man made Zhao Huaizhong feel a little warm.
"Can we, Da Qin, refine our own bronze figures?" Zhao Huaizhong asked Lao Sikong and Ji Mo.
The two of them were not sure, but they were very confident. The restoration of the incomplete bronze man had accumulated a lot of experience for them:
"We can start refining and casting the bronze figures."
After the Qin Dynasty annexed Zhao, the distribution of several new underground mineral veins appeared on the map of the country.
Most of the underground mineral veins in this world are metal ores.
What Zhao Dixin discovered was also minerals such as copper and iron, which were used for development, just in time for the casting of weapons and bronze figures.
In the evening, Zhao Huaizhong returned to Wuying Hall. After practicing, he took out a secret map.
When Prince Dan came to Qin before, he said that the Zhao people had obtained a construction plan of the Yin and Shang Secret Palace. According to the drawing, they could gain a lot when the Yin and Shang Secret Palace appeared.
Qin destroyed Zhao, and the secret map also fell into the hands of Zhao Huaizhong.
He lowered his head and looked at it. What was engraved on the picture were the internal structures of many secret palaces of the Yin and Shang Dynasties.
However, the picture does not include the eighth floor where the coffin is placed, which is the core area of the secret palace.
"The Yin Shang Dynasty ruled China for more than five hundred years, and more than half of their income was buried in this secret palace..." Zhao Huaizhong examined the secret map.
————
Early October.
The capital of the Yan people, Jicheng, the royal palace.
King Yan was dressed in dark blue royal robes and sat in the center of the palace.
He has a long and thin face, with somewhat high nasal bones, a slightly curved tip, thin lips, a stern face, and fine wrinkles at the end of his eyes.
Although he is very old, King Yan likes to practice martial arts and his energy has not declined.
In terms of personal cultivation, he far surpassed the monarchs of Zhao Wei and other countries.
He is tall and looks very imposing sitting there.
He stared at Prince Dan under the throne in front of him with stern eyes: "Your Majesty is on a mission to the Qin Dynasty this time to congratulate the Qin people on their success in conquering Zhao, so I should bring you a generous gift.
There must also be envoys from other countries who will take this opportunity to send envoys to Qin to inquire about the Qin people's movements.
When people from all over the world gather together, if I, the Yan State, are light on gifts and thin on things, I will inevitably be looked down upon."
Prince Dan responded: "Father, do you have any other instructions?"
"The King of Qin is young and energetic, but he is able to defeat both Korea and Zhao. He must be a man of great talent. My son must be careful before leaving." King Yan happily warned.
Prince Dansurong agreed, bowed again, resigned and left the palace.
Yan Wangxi narrowed his eyes slightly and watched the leaving figure of Prince Dan.
Outside the palace gate, in a team waiting for Prince Dan, there was a strong general with a leopard head, ringed eyes, and a short beard. He was Fan Yuqi, a general from the Qin people.
As I said before, in this era, there is no shame in being demoted.
Fan Yuqi suffered a defeat at the hands of Li Mu and did not dare to return to Qin, so he surrendered to Yan instead. After Prince Dan sent people to investigate, it was confirmed that Fan Yuqi was really defeated at the hands of Li Mu, and there was no lie.
However, the Yan people have always been short of generals and have been suppressed by the Zhao people for many years.
Fan Yuqi was still known as a famous general in the Qin Dynasty where the general star was shining brightly. He was brave and good at fighting.
Therefore, Prince Dan paid great attention to him after he surrendered to Yan.
Fan Yuqi also lived up to his expectations. He drilled his troops and horses several times in the Yan region and defeated the Yan generals in a row. This made Prince Dan very happy and now he has promoted him to become a close minister around him.
"General Fan, please don't accompany me to Qin this time. I will return soon."
Considering that Fan Yuqi was a surrendered general from the Qin people and it would be inconvenient to go to Qin as an envoy, Prince Dan said: "You stay and help me, Dayan, train troops and horses."
"No!" Fan Yuqi agreed.
"Have I prepared all the things I need to bring with me when I enter Qin this time?" Prince Dan asked a chamberlain next to him.
"Everything is ready, including hundreds of sea pearls, forty swallow girls, hundreds of animal horns produced in the northern part of Yanshan Mountain, and more than a dozen of the rare objects mined from the undersea immortal tomb discovered the year before last... Prince, don't worry." The chamberlain said.
The next day.
Prince Dan set off from Yan, carrying more than fifty chariots and horses, and rushed to Xianyang, the capital of Qin.
They went all the way west from Yandi, and soon arrived at the western border of Yandi.
Prince Dan sighed with emotion: "Now we are close to entering Qin. There is no need to bypass the Zhao people. In a few years, the land of Zhao has been owned by Qin."
A group of people immediately entered the original Zhao realm.
After leaving Yandi, the interrogations encountered on the road suddenly became stricter.
Groups of Qin troops were galloping past on the official road, and they were heavily guarded.
"The people of Zhao are warlike and produce good generals. Although Qin won the land of Zhao, there must be Zhao people in various places who are still resisting. Therefore, Qin deployed heavy troops in the land of Zhao. According to this trend, it will be difficult for the Qin people to pacify them within three to five years. Soothe the troubles of Zhao Di.
Within a few years, the Qin people will be unable to continue their eastward invasion." Next to Prince Dan, a middle-aged counselor wearing a gray gown said.
Prince Dan worriedly asked: "What will happen in three to five years?"
The adviser was speechless.
After that, everyone moved forward and soon discovered that the situation in Zhao Jing was not as chaotic as they imagined.
Although Qin troops emerged one after another in the Zhao Kingdom and were heavily guarded, most of them were taking precautions before they happened.
In fact, the Zhao people's resistance was not strong.
The Yan people crossed the Zhao territory all the way, and in the villages and towns they encountered along the way, there were many carriages and horses running, carrying food and other supplies.
Prince Dan asked people to inquire, and found out that the reason why the people of Zhao rarely resisted the Qin army was that after Qin occupied Zhao, the King of Qin issued an edict, not only reducing the taxes of the Zhao people for the next two years, but also dispersing grain in various places. To feed the people of Zhao.
Although the common people were restricted by age and region, many Zhao people still held a hostile attitude towards the Qin people, but what the common people wanted was nothing more than food and clothing.
The Qin people not only did not exploit them, but also provided them with food.
Therefore, the various places in the Zhao Kingdom are more stable than imagined, and there are few turmoils and riots.
Based on what we can see in front of us, Qin obviously did not need as long as three to five years to pacify Zhao.
"Where did the people of Qin get so much extra food?"
An attendant of Prince Dan speculated maliciously: "Will the Qin people tighten their belts and use the remaining food to appease the Zhao people?"
Prince Dan said solemnly: "It's because of the surge in mass production in Qin.
Five years ago, Zheng Guo, a Korean, entered Qin and offered advice to the Qin people to repair water conservancy.
At that time, all the countries secretly rejoiced and felt that the Qin people had been deceived.
But after the completion of the Zheng Guo Canal, it is said that the Qin people's grain official in charge of collecting grains made a bold statement, saying that the Guanzhong area could feed the world."
Prince Dan and others talked about what they saw along the way.
In a short time, their group crossed the original Zhao border and entered the hinterland of Qin.
Continuing forward, you can see that many counties and counties in Qin have fruit planting areas, and animal stables are being built in various places to promote animal husbandry.
Prince Dan was very enthused by what he saw and ordered his scribes to record them one by one: "Write these down. After returning to Yan, we will also carry out experiments in our Yan land to enrich the products of our Yan people."
On the way to Xianyang, a group of Yan people also encountered a team of Wei envoys, who were also going to Xianyang as envoys.
In the center of the Wei people's team, there was an extremely huge chariot, which was made up of six chariots combined. It was unknown what was being carried.
As Xianyang approached, Prince Dansui saw many people from ancient families who usually avoided the world, and they were also on their way to Xianyang.
On the official road, carriages and horses shuttled back and forth.
It seems that people all over the world are rushing to visit Xianyang in the Qin Dynasty.
Chu Di, Shouchun.
An old man with white beard and hair, but a strong and strong body, held a roll of bamboo slips in his hand and looked at it again and again: "Qinren Pingzhao, what does it mean to invite me to Xianyang for a while?"
"Should I go or not?"
The old man walked around in the yard and looked towards Xianyang:
"I have been here in Shouchun for several years and have not done much. Chu people are stingy, so I might as well go to Xianyang to have a look.
I heard that after King Qin surrendered to Zhao, he actually let Li Mu return to Zhao. With such magnanimity, why should I go and see?"
In early November, Xianyang is getting colder.
People from all over the world came in droves, and the event was unprecedented.
At the invitation of Zhao Huaizhong, a group of saints also rushed to Xianyang from various places to gather together.
At this time, in the Xianyang Palace, Zhao Huaizhong was sitting on a low seat, staring at the fat tiger in the Demon Refining Picture with big eyes and small eyes.
