14. The long-lost technique of casting soldiers, borrowing a monthly ticket for soldiers)
In the Huaxia Pavilion Demon Realm branch, everyone performs their duties. Some are busy forging soldiers, some are busy exploring the surrounding terrain and drawing maps, and some are thinking of ways to collect various military supplies, such as fishing... The departure of one thousand armor-piercing soldiers from the camp did not cause much commotion. Their temporary departure did not have a great impact on the entire camp.
However, the absence of that enchanting beauty who wandered around the camp all day made many soldiers secretly feel a little disappointed.
But after all, for the camp, the basic survival problems have not been completely solved. Only when you have food and clothing can you think about sex. For most soldiers, these years have just passed by in a flash.
For Zhou Shu, once the matter was arranged, he no longer thought about it, but returned to the enthusiastic business of forging weapons.
"The sound of water flowing in this song is really interesting."
Zhou Shu put a long sword in the water, and the water flowed through the sword. The sword trembled slightly, and ripples appeared on the water.
This water flow is live water brought directly from the underground river, and it was also specially modified for the military building.
Now it’s time for Zhou Shu to try out his new method of meandering water sounds.
In Zhou Shu's opinion, this method is somewhat similar to the method of measuring density that he learned in physics class in his previous life.
Of course, this method of making the sound of water flow is much more profound and mysterious. It also requires using different strengths to vibrate the weapon, and then sensing the internal structure of the weapon through the reaction of the water flow.
This secret method is extremely complicated and cannot be explained clearly in one or two sentences.
Li Chengliang, the master craftsman of weapon casting, and others looked at Zhou Shu with envy as he experimented with the new secret art of weapon casting. They also wanted to learn it, but in Huaxia Pavilion, if you want to learn anything, you need points.
And to get points, you have to pay corresponding labor or things.
Now that the Huaxia Pavilion Demon Realm branch has just been established, the points they have accumulated are not enough to redeem such secret techniques.
"Deputy Pavilion Master Shi, come here."
Zhou Shu suddenly raised his hand and called Shi Songtao over.
"This method of making the sound of water flow is not bad. It should be able to improve your success rate of pointing the stars to determine the path. You are the deputy master of our Huaxia Pavilion. If you don't improve your weapon-making skills quickly, it won't make sense."
Zhou Shu said.
Shi Songtao's old face was a little red. He had worked very hard, but the improvement of the art of forging weapons could not be achieved in a day or two. Compared with the weapon forging masters of the same generation, he was already outstanding, but now the soldiers are being cast in the camp.
There are several master craftsmen, but he is indeed holding back a bit.
"Your Majesty, I will definitely work hard!"
Shi Songtao assured that as for saying thank you, there is no need.
He, Shi Songtao, has dedicated his life to Huaxia Pavilion and died of exhaustion!
Amid the envious looks of all the weapon masters, Zhou Shu directly gave Shi Songtao the method of the sound of winding water that Yin Yuzhu had given him.
"You don't need to be envious. Working hard will bring you benefits. I will not treat you badly."
Zhou Shu smiled and said.
"Master Li, what we discussed before is how to make the star path in a weapon have eight extraordinary meridians and twelve regular meridians like the human body. You should try more."
Zhou Shu looked at Li Chengliang and said, "If this can succeed, it will be a real magic weapon!"
Li Chengliang and other master craftsmen nodded solemnly.
The original idea of making high-end weapons is to use star paths to simulate the meridians of the human body. However, since ancient times, no weapon maker has ever been able to successfully simulate the twelve main meridians and eight extraordinary meridians of the human body inside the weapon.
Even for heavenly weapons, the internal star path is still far from this goal.
If the star path inside a weapon can really form the twelve regular meridians and the eight extraordinary meridians, then it should be able to surpass the heavenly level.
If those magical weapons were used to kill monsters, they would definitely be able to chop melons and vegetables.
Even if Zhou Shu didn't say anything, the weapons forgers had already felt that the weapons they were currently forging could no longer keep up with the needs of the ten-nation alliance.
To put it simply, the weapons they forged are terrible!
The monsters are powerful. Only stronger weapons can narrow the gap between the Allied Forces of the Ten Nations and the monsters. Only then can the Allied Forces of the Ten Nations have a chance to win.
"Anyway, please take good care of yourself. I will be away temporarily for a few days. I hope you can make a breakthrough in these few days."
After Zhou Shu finished speaking, he got up and left the forging room with a few weapons he had just forged.
As for what he was going to do, he did not tell Shi Songtao, Li Chengliang and others.
Weaponsmiths only need to be responsible for casting weapons.
A moment later, at the exit of the Demon Realm branch of Huaxia Pavilion, Meng Bai, Wang Mu, Bai Qiancheng and other generals all looked at Zhou Shu solemnly.
"Your Majesty, do you really not need us to go together?"
Bai Qiancheng couldn't help but said, "Although Bai's cultivation is not as good as the prince's, he is not without the ability to fight."
"No, I'm not going here to fight."
Zhou Shu shook his head, "If we really want to start a fight, it won't be of much use if we have one more rank and one less rank. I can come and go as I please."
Wang Mu, Bai Qiancheng and others all sighed. They now know about the invasion of the Ten Kingdoms Continent, but even if they are worried, they are beyond their reach now.
The Allied Forces of the Ten Nations are now too busy to take care of themselves. How can they spare the energy to rescue the Mainland of the Ten Nations?
Now Zhou Shu said that he wanted to go back alone to check the situation. Even if Wang Mu, Bai Qiancheng and others wanted to go together, they knew in their hearts that even if they followed, they would not be of much help.
"I went there this time mainly to see if I could close the gap between the Ten Kingdoms Continent and the Demon Realm."
Zhou Shu said in a deep voice, "As long as the gap can be closed, the army of the demon world that invaded the ten kingdoms' continent will become a lone army. Then it will not be difficult for the ten kingdoms to join forces and kill them."
"The only problem is that if I go there, I may not be able to come back."
Zhou Shu glanced at Meng Bai and others, "If I can come back, there is no need to say more. If I can't come back, General, the first thing to do is to kill Yin Yuzhu."
"Don't hesitate, don't care whether she is really the daughter of Emperor Xuan, kill her immediately."
"I understand."
Meng Bai said in a deep voice, Yin Yuzhu's identity is mysterious, and it is unclear whether he is an enemy or a friend. If Zhou Shu never comes back this time, then for the ten-nation coalition, silence on all fronts is the best choice. Everything is unstable.
Naturally, all factors must be eliminated.
"The second thing is not to rush for quick success, but to secretly accumulate strength."
"To tell you the truth, even if I can close the gap between the two realms this time, the barrier between the two realms will not last long. There will not be many stable days left for the Ten Kingdoms Continent."
Now the demon world has invaded the Ten Kingdoms Continent through the gap opened by Emperor Wu of Wei. Zhou Shu has Wei's Kingdom-Suppressing Cauldron in his hands, so he is very confident that he can fill this gap.
But another problem is that there is also a problem with Da Qin's Guo Zhen Ding, so the barrier between the Ten Kingdoms Continent and the Demon Realm has long been in danger, and it is uncertain when it will completely collapse.
"Six words, build walls high and store grain widely."
Zhou Shu said in a deep voice, "This is what I ask of you."
"Build walls high and store grain widely——"
Several generals were thinking to themselves, and they couldn't help but give a thumbs up in their hearts.
The prince has always claimed that he does not know how to lead troops, but his talent is simply embarrassing.
Just saying a few words can make people enlightened. These six-character policy, as well as the sixteen-character motto he said before, are simply the foundation of the Ten-Nation Alliance's foothold in the demon world.
With just these twenty-four words, the prince can become a master of the art of war, the kind that no one dares to refute!
Zhou Shu raised his head and glanced at the direction where Mi Ziwen and the others were headed. He originally wanted to wait for them to come back to see the situation, but the Great Wei Zhenguo Cauldron on his body had been moving frequently recently, and he knew that he could not wait any longer.
If we wait any longer, the ten kingdoms may really be wiped out, and then they will all become rootless trees.
"Alright, generals, although it is said that the gap between the two realms cannot be passed by the demon king, and it is so easy for the big demon to pass through, no one can say how many demon beasts have gone to the Ten Kingdoms Continent now. It is better to block the passage as early as possible.
The best is better."
Zhou Shu cupped his hands and said, "I'll leave it to you all."
"On behalf of the ten kingdoms, I would like to thank you, Your Majesty!"
All the generals bent down and said in a deep voice.
"Wuyou, let's go."
Zhou Shu greeted.
Zhou Shu does not have the ability to lead the armies of the Ten Kingdoms back to the Ten Kingdoms Continent, but if he brings one person with him, it will not be a big problem.
Of course, it was Zhou Shu's selfishness that brought Yin Wuyou along with him. How could his woman stay in a dangerous place?
As long as that passage is blocked, the Ten Kingdoms Continent will definitely be much safer than the Demon Realm.
The passage opened by Emperor Wu of Wei can only be regarded as a narrow path at best. Even if the demon world invades, the number that can pass through is limited.
But in this demon world, what they have to face is an almost unlimited number of demon beasts.
One is the hard mode and the other is the hell mode. They are completely different.
Holding Yin Wuyou's slender waist, Zhou Shu stepped forward and rose into the sky. The wind blew his sleeves, and everyone could clearly see the string of Qiankun bracelets on his wrists...
……
I don't know how many thousands of miles away from the Huaxia Pavilion's Demon Realm Branch Pavilion, about a foot above the ground, there is a dark hole with a diameter of three to four feet, as if it is a black hole.
Outside the black hole, on the endless plain, there are densely packed monster beasts. I don’t know how many there are.
Those monster beasts will line up and get into the black hole every hour.
When the black hole trembles endlessly and seems to be about to collapse, they will stop, and then continue after another hour when the black hole is stable.
Among the densely packed monster beasts, there were also some humanoid monsters mixed in. Those humanoid monsters were either riding on the back of some giant monster beast, or sitting cross-legged on a stone. They didn't look like they were going to conquer the Ten Kingdoms Continent at all. On the contrary, it’s like going out for an outing...
"Boom——"
Suddenly, a sonic boom sounded, and a stream of light suddenly arrived in front of the black hole from a very far distance.
"Who!"
Several loud shouts were heard, the aura belonging to a first-grade monster exploded, and several rays of magical power hit the figure.
"Boom——"
The figure didn't even look back, and a sword light shot out, colliding with those magical powers, and with a loud sound, his energy was released in all directions.
The violent wind and waves overturned all the monsters within a few feet.
At this time, all the monsters saw that those who appeared in front of the black hole were a man and a woman.
That’s right, it’s two people!
Dozens of first-grade monster auras rose into the sky. The army of monsters separated into several passages, and first-grade monsters scattered throughout the army appeared one after another.
"Where did you come from?"
A first-grade monster shouted.
The aura displayed by this man and woman are both of the first-class realm, and they look like spies hiding in the demon world.
All the first-level monsters licked their lips, with ferocious smiles on their faces.
Two first-grade people dare to show up so carelessly. They really don’t know how to live or die.
This man and woman are surprisingly Zhou Shu and Yin Wuyou.
Looking at the dozens of first-grade monsters, Zhou Shu raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
"You are lucky, you saved a life."
Zhou Shu sneered. If he didn't have something important to do next, he would explode with magical power and sweep through thousands of troops. If he didn't kill ten or eight first-grade monsters, it would be a loss.
"But let's collect some interest first."
Zhou Shu snorted coldly and stepped hard with his right foot. The ground roared, and it felt like an earthquake within a radius of several miles.
"Shuihan!"
Zhou Shu shouted loudly, and a beautiful three-foot long sword appeared in his hand.
The long sword was swung, and blood flowers actually fell from the sky.
A feeling of coldness spread at a speed visible to the naked eye, and hoarfrost began to appear on the ground.
"Click, click, click—"
The monsters that were closer to Zhou Shu all shuddered involuntarily.
Those first-level monsters in the distance saw that something was wrong, and they all unleashed their magical powers.
But it was already too late. Countless sword rays shot out horizontally. Around Zhou Shu's body, within a radius of ten feet, all the monsters almost didn't even hum. They had turned into ice sculptures one by one, and then transformed into ice sculptures under the sword light.
Debris all over the ground.
All the first-grade monsters felt a chill in their hearts. What kind of weapon was that? It looked like it was just an earth-grade weapon, so why was it so powerful?
This is inconsistent with their understanding of human weapons.
"Stop him!"
A first-grade monster shouted loudly.
At this time, all the first-level monsters discovered that after Zhou Shu killed countless monsters with one sword, he and Yin Wuyou walked hand in hand and stepped into the black hole together.
A group of first-level monsters wanted to stop them, but they saw a shocking sword light flying out of the black hole.
"Cut the sky, draw the sword!"
The sword light seemed to cut the sky in half, and the black hole trembled violently, as if it was about to collapse.
"Shua——"
The first-level monster that rushed forward had a line of blood between his eyebrows, and the expression on his face gradually solidified. After a moment, his body separated to both sides, and fell to the ground with a splat, covered in blood and internal organs.
It flowed all over the floor, and the whole place suddenly became silent, and all the first-level monsters stopped in their tracks.
