Chapter 2046 The mountain god, it must be the mountain god
Li Ke and others looked at the pink smoke that gradually covered the entire valley with horror on their faces.
The diffuse smoke rolled up like a demon, engulfing the rocks, water surface, weeds, shrubs and even trees in the valley.
Then it gradually spread towards this side, and then... Li Ke instantly felt as if his eyes were dyed red by the pink smoke.
I don't know what the hell got into my nose, and I instantly felt as if I had been hit with countless rotten eggs and smoked to death...
"What are you doing in a daze? Run quickly." Cheng Sanlang covered his mouth and nose and jumped over. Seeing this group of people still standing here in a daze, he couldn't help shouting.
Then everyone retreated collectively, while the mounts neighed restlessly and snorted frequently as they retreated.
Well, it's mixed with sulfur and rosin, after these things reach a certain temperature.
The smell emanating from it is not only very choking but also irritating to the eyes.
It wasn't until they retreated nearly a hundred steps that they stopped, but the pink smoke in the valley was still filling the air, even extending toward the sky.
Li Ke, with red eyes, looked at the pink smoke filling the sky with an exaggerated expression, and couldn't help but push Cheng Sanlang with his elbow.
"Brother Chu Bi, why is the color of this smoke so weird? What the hell are you doing?"
"Sorry, this is a business secret."
Cheng Chubi wiped his face. I know nothing about it. I just took out a few cigarette cakes without paying attention to the recipe list.
You ask me, who should I ask?
#####
As the only thermal weapons expert in the Tang Dynasty and the only smoke bomb expert in the Tang Dynasty, Cheng Chubi certainly knew how to make smoke cakes.
That thing was the city's lantern opera troupe. When literature and art came to the countryside, Cheng Chubi also went to join in the fun and enjoy the lantern opera with regional characteristics.
Because the performance is a lantern drama adapted from a local mythological story, it is natural to make it a little more ecstatic.
However, the Huadeng Theater Troupe was short of funds and could not purchase dry ice, which was difficult to store, so they purchased the high-quality, low-priced, large-volume cigarette cakes.
Then, Cheng Chubi enjoyed the lantern show of demons and ghosts under the billowing smoke. He was especially interested in the cigarette cakes.
After some research and analysis, I found out that the stuff was really high-quality, low-priced, and large in quantity.
There are two main ingredients for tobacco cakes, one is sulfur and sawdust, and the other is saltpeter and sugar.
As for what color smoke you want, you need to let your inspiration go and mix it with various formulas, whether it is sugar, salt, alum, rust powder, or various other messy inorganic substances or
organic matter.
In the past few days, Cheng Chubi had been considering carrying out special operations and had been studying how to inflict maximum damage on the Tibetans at the minimum cost.
On that day, I happened to see an old house on fire with billowing smoke, which instantly gave Cheng Sanlang, who had always been struggling with his brain, a huge inspiration.
Smoke cakes also need to be burned before they can exert their power. Of course, they are also a branch of thermal weapons.
Moreover, this area is a typical Hengduan Mountains area. No matter how you walk from Tieqiao City to Jianchuan City, you need to pass through a long and narrow valley.
Such a place is most suitable for special operations, and the smoke cake can not only use its own smoke to block the line of sight.
At the same time, Cheng Sanlang's secret formula of cigarette cakes not only tastes strong, but also irritates the eyes. If you inhale the smoke emitted by these cigarette cakes in large amounts for a long time.
Well, if you can't be smoked to death, you will be smoked to death. Think about it, like an elite Tubo barbarian, walking high-spirited in that valley.
As a result, the valley was suddenly filled with smoky smoke, making it impossible for them to identify their direction, and then a large number of grenades fell.
There were also landmines laid in advance that were activated, tsk tsk tsk...
Cheng Chubi didn't think anyone in this era could withstand his diverse and innovative special operations.
Ren Yaxiang, a scholar with both civil and military skills, was looking at the valley that had been completely covered by the strange and pungent pink smoke with gleaming eyes.
Just think about it, those Tibetan elites are crossing the valley, give them this, tut tut tut...
"Hey, dear, if this thing were thrown into the valley, it would probably kill people half to death if not smoke them to death."
"By the way, Brother Chubi, how long can one piece of your cigarette cake last?"
As an example of an outstanding businessman with strong professional ethics, Cheng Chubi, the chairman of Hantang Commercial Bank, laughed happily.
"One of these cigarette cakes can last for about a quarter of an hour. The things made by Mr. Cheng must be of high quality and must be solid and durable."
"You two, please don't just stand there. Move back quickly. The smoke is coming again."
At this moment, Li Ke felt that his eyes were irritated again, and he quickly shouted.
At this moment, the diffuse pink smoke had already crossed the ridges on both sides of the valley, and began to show its strangeness and ghosts to the world for the first time...

It was noon at the Zhaoli Allied Forces Camp a few miles away from here, and everyone had already gone through various trainings throughout the morning.
After lunch, we were resting, and the loyal sentry was standing guard at the gate of the camp.
But I don't know what happened, but suddenly there was a loud noise from the camp behind me, and the sentry guarding the entrance of the camp turned his head in confusion.
Then, together with the soldiers of the Zhaozhi Alliance Army who gradually emerged from the camp, they enjoyed a scene that they would never forget.
A valley located a few miles away from the main camp, at some point, began to fill with the kind of pink smoke that made people feel creepy no matter how it looked.
And the smoke is so thick that even under the sun, it still looks very eye-catching and exaggerated.
It kept rolling up into the sky, and there was even some smoke, venting down from the ridge, rushing down like a colorful cloud waterfall, as if a peerless demon was about to appear from the valley.
The vast majority of the Zhaoxun Alliance Army were feudal superstitious elements. Seeing this mysterious and shocking scene, the eyes of the Zhaoxun Alliance Army officers were exaggeratedly widened to the extreme.
"Mountain God, it must be the mountain god who has appeared..." One of the imperial soldiers shouted directly, fell to the ground and then began to mutter something, and kept kowtowing in that direction.
"No, it must be a god coming to this world, a god..."
A soldier whose family was said to be involved in witchcraft immediately refuted the other party, and then fell to the ground like a prostrate.
