From the moment he was trapped by the Divine Weapon Skynet until he discovered that he could not break through the Divine Weapon Skynet with his own strength, Hou Baidong had actually decided to accept his fate.
He has never been a very fierce person, and he knows better than anyone else why people have to bow their heads under the roof.
To be able to become the third deputy master of Tiangong Pavilion, he is a person who can bend and stretch.
That's why he bowed to Zhou Shu.
When he chose to bow his head, he had actually thought about his own fate.
Speaking of which, he has been mentally prepared. During the three years in Tongguan City, even if he works as a horse for Zhou Shu, he will not have any surprises.
But he never imagined that even though he had become a prisoner, he would still have the opportunity to learn the art of forging weapons that he had never thought of before!
He did not hesitate to murder the master of Tiangong Pavilion for the secret art of forging weapons, but he did not expect that someone else would casually teach him something he valued so much.
This sense of frustration that arises from the bottom of his heart makes Hou Baidong feel that his previous self was so ridiculous.
I tried my best to become the master of Tiangong Pavilion, and I wanted to learn the secret weapon-making skills taught by the master of Tiangong Pavilion, but it turned out that it was just something that others looked down upon.
Thinking of the tiger wing armor casting method that Zhou Shu had just taught him, a wry smile appeared on his face.
Yes, he is a real dragon in the sky, and he is just a loach on the ground. There is nothing to compare with him, so why should he care about whether he can learn three points of skills?
Unknowingly, Hou Baidong's psychology has undergone earth-shaking changes.
Perhaps even he himself didn't notice that the hostility towards Zhou Shu in his heart had gradually disappeared, replaced by awe!
That's right, he is now full of awe for Zhou Shu.
Not only were they in awe of Zhou Shu's skill in forging weapons, but they were even more in awe of Zhou Shu's behavior.
Putting himself in Zhou Shu's shoes, Hou Baidong felt that even if he were in Zhou Shu's position, he would never be able to make the art of forging weapons public.
He does not have such courage and ambition.
"I have indeed mastered the casting method of this tiger wing armor, but if this method is to be popularized, the requirements for the armor casters are too high."
Hou Baidong smiled bitterly and turned his mind back to forging weapons.
Zhou Shu did teach him the method of forging Tiger Wing Armor without reservation, but Hou Baidong also discovered that this method is not suitable for all magic weapons.
Dismantling a magic weapon into small parts is not an easy task in itself.
In other words, even if he learns the method of forging Tiger Wing Armor, at present, Hou Baidong can only teach others how to forge Tiger Wing Armor, but there is no way to use this decomposition and casting method on other magic weapons.
Even with Hou Baidong's attainments in the art of weapon forging, it is difficult to apply this decomposition and weapon forging method to other magic weapons, let alone other weapon forging masters.
Speaking of which, the threshold for analyzing the Art of War is too high.
Of course, for weapon-casting apprentices, they do not need to master these principles. They only need to learn to cast a kind of part, which is not difficult at all.
"Amazing!"
The more Hou Baidong studied it, the more he admired it in his heart. He really couldn't imagine how Zhou Shu could dismantle a tiger wing armor into tens of thousands of parts and ensure that they could be combined into a magic weapon.<
/p>
Hou Baidong is overwhelmed by the things that need to be deduced here.
"He doesn't even care about the art of forging weapons, so he doesn't know how many art of forging weapons he has mastered."
Hou Baidong suddenly felt hot in his heart.
It is true that he envies the power of the master of Tiangong Pavilion, and his love for the art of forging weapons is also true.
"I didn't expect that being a prisoner of my subordinates would actually be an opportunity for me."
Hou Baidong murmured to himself, with a thoughtful look on his face.
……
Jin Kui looked at Zhou Shu and hesitated to speak.
"Lao Jin, we can be considered comrades fighting side by side. If you have anything to say, just say it directly."
Zhou Shu noticed Jin Kui's expression and said with a smile.
"Brother Zongquan, why do you want to teach Hou Baidong the art of decomposition and casting?"
Jin Kui couldn't help but said, "I know you have a broad mind, but that guy Hou Baidong is not a good person. After learning your weapon-making skills, he will probably go against you."
Jin Kui was actually a little worried. Although Hou Baidong's character was not very good, his talent in forging weapons was beyond words.
If he also joins the Zongquan brothers, he will be his competitor.
In the future, after Brother Zongquan ascends to the position of the master of Tiangong Pavilion, should he take the position of first deputy master of the pavilion, or should Hou Baidong take the position?
"Do you think I will be afraid of him?"
Zhou Shu smiled calmly and said, "Okay, Lao Jin, don't worry blindly. I'm just using him. After all, I have too few weaponsmiths available now. Lao Jin, you are one of my own. I know it well."
."
Hearing Zhou Shu's words, Jin Kui felt happy and said, "Brother Zongquan, if you really want to use the Weapon Master, I have some direct descendants in Tiangong Pavilion. How about I summon them all?"
Come here?"
Zhou Shu's heart moved, but he still shook his head and said, "No, to develop and expand Tongguan City, I can't rely on the power of Tiangong Pavilion, I can only rely on myself. This is a trial, you know." p>
Jin Kui suddenly realized that this was the case.
"I understand."
Jin Kui said, "But it doesn't matter. We are now very efficient in casting magic weapons. If we use full firepower, we can cast thousands of tiger-wing knives in a month."
Jin Kui has been in charge of the assembly line of the art of war. Those apprentices worked with Jin Kui to cast 90% of the tiger-wing knives in Tongguan City.
As for the remaining 10%, it was cast by Zhou Shu himself.
In Jin Kui's opinion, such a speed of casting troops is already very good, and there is no need to worry about not being able to strengthen Tongguan City.
How many cities in the world can have so many magical soldiers?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Zhou Shu smiled slightly in his heart, Jin Kui's reaction was expected.
Although Zhou Shu never admitted that he was a direct disciple of the Tiangong Pavilion Master from beginning to end, his every move, including his words and deeds, secretly misled Jin Kui and Ge Changlong.
As a result, the two of them had no doubts about Zhou Shu's identity.
No matter what Zhou Shu does, as long as they give them a hint, they will help Zhou Shu figure out the reasons.
This saved Zhou Shu a lot of trouble.
Before Tongguan City was completely controlled by him, Ge Changlong and Jin Kui still played an important role, and Zhou Shu did not hope that they would become his resistance.
"From now on, you will continue to be responsible for the casting of the Tiger Wing Knife. As for the casting of the Tiger Wing Armor, I will let Hou Baidong be in charge."
Zhou Shu said, "If he stays in Tongguan City, he can't eat for nothing, don't you think so?"
Jin Kui nodded, "Brother Zongquan, everything is up to you."
"Lao Jin, I have a question."
Zhou Shu pondered and said.
"Brother Zongquan, tell me."
"The two deputy masters of Tiangong Pavilion have lost information. Tiangong Pavilion, won't they look for you?"
Zhou Shu looked at Jin Kui and said.
He is deliberately cutting off the connection between Tongguan City and the outside world. This sentence is also a test.
No one may know that Hou Baidong came to Tongguan City, but Jin Kui came openly and honestly.
After he came to Tongguan City, he never went back, which may have attracted the attention of other people in Tiangong Pavilion.
"It's not like we've lost contact."
Jin Kui said with a smile, "It's normal for us weapon masters to go out to look for weapons-making materials, retreat to forge magic weapons, and not return to the pavilion for ten or eight years. Generally speaking, there will be a deputy cabinet in the pavilion.
The chief sits in charge and is responsible for handling daily affairs. Usually our eight deputy cabinet chiefs take turns. The fifth deputy cabinet master is taking turns now. He will stay in the cabinet within ten years."
Jin Kui explained that he thought Zhou Shu was interested in understanding the operating mechanism of Tiangong Pavilion and did not think too much about other aspects.
"Got it."
Zhou Shu nodded and was about to say something else when his heart suddenly moved.
Then he saw a ray of white light shooting towards him. When it was about a foot away in front of him, the white light turned into the shape of a spiritual insect.
It was Mu Yuan who came.
Mu Yuan's eyes rolled around and glanced at Jin Kui.
This was not the first time Jin Kui had seen this spiritual insect controlled by Zhou Shu, but every time he saw it, he was shocked by the humanity of Mu Yuan.
With just this look, Jin Kui understood its meaning and no one else could avoid it.
He, Jin Kui, has become an irrelevant person?
After giving Mu Yuan a roll of his eyes, Jin Kui said, "Brother Zongquan, I'm going to make soldiers first. If anything happens, you can come to me at any time."
After saying that, Jin Kui turned around and left, closing the courtyard door behind him.
After Jin Kui left, Zhou Shu looked at Mu Yuan.
"Mu Yuan, you can't speak, it's a bit of a delay. Is it possible for you spiritual insects to learn to speak?"
Zhou Shu muttered.
A hint of helplessness flashed in Mu Yuan's eyes, and he quickly wrote on the ground, "It's impossible. From ancient times to the present, there has never been a spirit insect that can speak human language."
"From ancient times to the present, there has never been a spirit insect with your IQ. You are considered the smartest spirit insect in history. You can even learn to write, but why can't you learn to speak?"
Zhou Shu said.
Mu Yuan looked helpless, how did he know?
Based on its cultivation strength, it is reasonable to say that it can completely control the muscles of the whole body and make sounds. But for some reason, it just can't make human speech.
This may be the limitation of the law.
"How much Yuanshi has been done this time?"
Even if he didn't say anything, Zhou Shu just complained casually and didn't take it seriously. He looked at Mu Yuan and asked.
Mu Yuan's eyes flashed with pride, and he opened his mouth to speak.
A flash of black light flashed, and a dark thing the size of an adult's head fell in front of Zhou Shu.
Yuanshi!
After being swallowed by Mu Yuan, Yuan Shi was spit out again!
This kind of Yuanshi can be directly used to cast weapons. The divine weapon Skynet that trapped Hou Baidong was made from this kind of Yuanshi.
If Yuanshi had not been treated in this way, the flames would not be able to smelt it, and naturally it would not be able to be used to cast weapons.
It's actually a bit disgusting to say, after all, this Yuanshi was swallowed and spit out by Mu Yuan.
However, Zhou Shu didn't look disgusted at all. Instead, he was full of excitement.
The previous use of Yuanshi to cast the divine weapon Skynet was just a small test.
The result of this small test made Zhou Shu extremely satisfied.
Who is Hou Baidong? He is a mighty Tianzun and the third deputy master of Tiangong Pavilion. He even has a thunder hammer, a false god's magic weapon.
Ordinary Tianzun strong men will only end up defeated when they meet Hou Baidong.
But after he was covered by the Divine Weapon Skynet, he was unable to break the Divine Weapon Skynet.
This divine weapon, Skynet, is not the most powerful divine weapon that Zhou Shu has ever forged, but it is definitely the strongest divine weapon that Zhou Shu has ever forged!
And all of this is because of the weapon-casting materials used to cast the divine weapon Skynet.
This is the beginning of Tongguan City!
After becoming the lord of Tongguan City, Zhou Shu sent Mu Yuan to secretly go to Yuanshi Mine.
With Ge Changlong and Jin Kui around, Zhou Shu could not use Yuanshi openly and openly.
But that doesn't stop him from letting Mu Yuan steal some back.
With such a large piece of Yuanshi, it was enough for Zhou Shu to cast three or five magic weapons.
The divine weapons forged in the Yuan Dynasty are exclusive to the divine. At most, some false gods will receive divine rewards and possess one.
Ordinary people simply cannot imagine owning a magical weapon forged by Yuanshi.
If the Holy Spirit knew that Zhou Shu had corrupted such a huge piece of Yuanshi, he would definitely not let Zhou Shu go.
Of course, Zhou Shu didn't care about the so-called sacred things at all.
Not to mention this piece of Yuanshi, even the Yuanshi mine outside Tongguan City, Zhou Shu already regarded it as his own.
With such a Yuanshi mine, Zhou Shu is confident that everyone in his hands will have a magic weapon forged by Yuanshi.
Go back and bring Mi Ziwen, Yang Hong, Sun Pingping and others over. The magic weapons they have in hand may no longer be able to keep up with their strength.
The magic weapons forged from Yuanshi are truly good magic weapons and will never lag behind in terms of strength.
"The spirit insect group is ready to move and may launch an attack on Tongguan City at any time. I can no longer influence them."
When Zhou Shu was thinking, he saw Mu Yuan writing quickly on the ground.
"Huh? You can't influence them anymore? They don't care about your life or death anymore?"
Zhou Shu frowned.
"Spiritual insects don't have any spiritual intelligence to begin with. If I stay there, they may slowly become spiritually enlightened under my influence, but now, without me, they will only become insects that rely on instinct."<
/p>
Mu Yuanshu wrote, even the handwriting was full of pride.
"I can't see that you are still so important."
Zhou Shu smiled and said, "In that case, why didn't you agree when I let you go back to control the spirit insect group? According to you, the spirit insect group should regard you as its king."
A trace of embarrassment flashed in Mu Yuan's eyes.
It's just bragging, okay, among the spiritual insect group, only the female insect is the king.
In fact, it has mutated and gained intelligence. When looking at spirit insects again, it is difficult to regard spirit insects as its own kind.
On the contrary, being by Zhou Shu's side and being able to communicate with Zhou Shu allowed him to feel his presence more clearly.
Among the spirit insect group, even those descendants born from it have at best some intelligence and are unable to communicate with it at all.
Spirit insects are just insects, and Mu Yuan is the insect god!
It's just that this insect god has little influence on the spiritual insect community.
Zhou Shu also knows that Mu Yuan is a very humane guy, but his character is not well developed, and he doesn’t know who he learned his bragging skills from.
"When will the spirit insect group launch an attack?"
Zhou Shu asked.
"That's impossible to say."
Mu Yuan's movements were like electricity, and writings appeared on the ground one by one.
"I estimate that in half a year at most, their number will be able to multiply to the extreme. By then, if they do not attack Tongguan City, their resources will not be able to support the survival of so many spiritual insects. At that time, they will definitely attack Tongguan City and destroy them.
Everything here is eaten."
Mu Yuan does not regard himself as an insect. One good thing is that when he betrayed the spirit insect group, there was no psychological burden at all.
To put it bluntly, it feels that it has escaped, and no matter how many spiritual insects die, it has nothing to do with it.
"At most half a year?"
Zhou Shu frowned slightly, half a year was not a long time, and a short time was not a short time.
He has just taken over Tongguan City. Half a year is still a bit short.
"Mu Yuan, if I ask you to take people to attack and kill spirit insects in their nests, would you be willing?"
Zhou Shu suddenly spoke.
In half a year, Tongguan City may not be able to cope with the plague of spiritual insects.
The current plan is to delay the outbreak of the spiritual insect disaster as long as possible.
The best way is to kill a group of spiritual insects at that time. As long as their number is not allowed to reach a certain level, there will be no way for the spiritual insect disaster to break out.
"Me? I can't."
Mu Yuan shook his head decisively and wrote on the ground, "Those are all my brothers, close relatives of flesh and blood!"
Zhou Shu rolled his eyes. When you just betrayed the news about the spirit insect group, you didn’t remember that they were all your brothers and blood relatives.
You haven’t even considered yourself a spiritual insect, so now you’re telling me this, isn’t it nonsense?
"Then forget it, just keep chewing rocks."
Zhou Shu waved his hand and said.
"Don't."
Mu Yuan's body swam and the book wrote, "Let's talk, let's talk again."
"I'm not asking for an exorbitant price, shouldn't you pay me back on the spot?"
"Don't you have to ask me what I need to do before I'm willing to go?"
Mu Yuan writes very fast, almost as fast as the average person speaking.
Zhou Shu raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "Okay, what do you want to do before you are willing to take people to the spiritual insect nest to attack and kill the spiritual insects?"
"I want benefits!"
Mu Yuan seemed a little excited and wrote, "Give me a favor and I'll go!"
"What benefits do you want?"
Zhou Shu said with some helplessness that a spiritual insect could actually learn to negotiate terms, but he didn't mind talking to Mu Yuan.
After all, if there is a traitor like Mu Yuan, it might be easier to kill the spiritual insects.
"I want to learn the art of forging weapons!"
Mu Yuan quickly wrote, his eyes flashing with excitement, he finally found the opportunity!
"You? Learn the art of forging weapons?"
Zhou Shu looked at Mu Yuan and said.
"Yeah, look at me I have no hands, but I can write and learn the art of forging weapons, so what?"
Mu Yuan wrote as a matter of course.
"You're a spiritual insect, why do you want to learn the art of forging weapons?"
Zhou Shu shook his head and said.
"It's true that I am a spiritual insect, but I have developed spiritual wisdom. In the future, I will be an insect god. You can't treat me and those spiritual insects as the same species!"
