"If you have time, you might as well go to our Bailu Sword Academy to take a look and understand the sword marks left in the mountains..."

The remaining compensation was silently paid, and the silver-shirt swordsman with a sad face seemed to have made a decision and gave out a bronze medal engraved with antler patterns, indicating that their sect did not care about the crushing defeat of this sword fight. On the contrary, he wanted to make a good relationship with Zhao Qing.

Being easily defeated by a young junior, Bailu Sword Academy originally planned to make a name for himself and revitalize the sect by using the power of Shipin, but the plan to revive the sect has turned into a silence. Generally, if you encounter such humiliation, the loser commits self-mutilation on the spot, and it is not uncommon to form a great feud for life and death.

However, for these sword masters who were at least fifty or two hundred, during the battle between Wu and Yue more than ten years ago, after winning, the Wu army chased and surrounded the Yue people hiding in the mountains and robbed them, and only retreated until the losses could not catch up with the harvest;

The kindness of the woman Fuchai refused to listen to Wu Zixu's advice and destroyed Yue in one fell swoop. It was naturally not because he was so stupid, but because the Wu army had already leveled Yuedu in this battle, causing as many as 60% to 70% of the core area of ​​Yueguo. According to common sense, it was impossible to reorganize the power to fight against Wu within a hundred years.

Although it seems more advanced than the Yue Kingdom and is influenced by the Central Plains ritual and music culture, the upper nobles of the Wu Kingdom have always had the tradition of sacrifice for human sacrifice. It can be seen from the incident of Teng Yu, the daughter of Helu, that the Yue people who did not have such backward customs, were much cruel and tyrannical.

Especially after Wu Zixu captured Yingdu and indulged the traitors of the Wu army to avenge the revenge and plunder, and after opening this opening, the Wu people's atmosphere rose sharply. After defeating, they always wanted to vent their evil intentions and vent their wickedness. It was difficult to return to the initial state of Sun Wu's strict military governance.

As a mountain ridge with a relatively large population in the Kuaiji Mountains, Bailu Mountain, which is more populated than in the mountainous areas, was also one of the hardest hit areas that were robbed at that time. At that time, the entire sect was fragmented and tried its best to hide. The mountains were full of corpses, and the blood hatred they had made was a hundred times deeper than a mere defeat.

Some people hid in the depths of the cave and starved to death for several months, and some were discovered by the Wu army and drowned in the mountain swamp. After being caught, they were ordinary Yue people who were despised as weak and unsuitable for slaves, and the Jingguans built by massacres were even more shocking.

After such a catastrophe, the entire Yue Kingdom suffered heavy losses. Although it has recovered economically, the number of backbone warriors is still less than half of the previous war. In fact, in Baiyue, it can only surpass the tribal alliance countries such as Minyue and Nanyue, and may not defeat the two feudal kingdoms of Xiou and Wenlang.

In the eyes of the Bailu Sword Academy, if Zhao Qing could understand something from them and grow into an important figure in revenge against Wu in the future, then this would not only be a fame effect, but also an indirect revenge. Therefore, he did not dislike the rapid change of his position and invited her.

Sensing the hopes and hopes in the hearts of these people and the thanks to his men before leaving, Zhao Qing also had a lot of thoughts and realized the deep hatred that these Yue people who had experienced the catastrophe and seemed to have walked out of the past.

Even in the depths of Kuaiji Mountain, the small village where she was originally located was abandoned to the point where only mother and daughter survived. It can be seen that if the Wu army's mobilization operation lasted for a period of time, she might not be able to live and grow up, and she would most likely die in an unborn life as an infant.

From this perspective, Goujian was willing to take great risks to join Wu as a slave, deal with Fuchai and Wu Zixu, thus eliminating the dangers of countless Yue people. It can indeed be regarded as a great virtue and kindness that can help the people to hang upside down, and is worthy of his title of King Yue.

...

After a while, Zhao Qing, who was thinking about this, rode with Zheng Dan and rushed towards the direction of the Wei family's house. Along the way, he saw one foreign hotel after another, lined with high-walled courtyards, each covering a wide area and able to accommodate thousands of envoys.

People from remote areas who come to Kuaiji to do business, but they cannot find any way in a short period of time. They are not familiar with the place and are often bullied by people from the place.

Therefore, with the permission of the Yue State Trainee Administration, Baiyue, Yangyue, Minyue, Ouyue, Cangwu, Nanyue, Xiou and other Baiyue countries have set up special embassies in Fuyangli, which are foreign special zones. They can not only be used for trade negotiations with Yue State, but also accept help from many tribes.

As an important place for Yue people to make friends outside Kuaiji City, this area is full of cars and horses, bustling and bustling, and it is extremely lively, and often congested roads are congested.

But when Zhao Qing and Zheng Dan rushed away from the avenue in front of their door, countless foreign Vietnamese who had received the news of the battle just now made way ahead of time, squeezed on the wall and peeked at the heroic posture of the two of them, and were amazed and felt reverent.

It is obvious that the impact of defeating the Bailu Sword Academy so easily is not just as simple as the famous Yue Kingdom. After a few months, the reputation will spread to Baiyue and spread to a vast area of ​​nearly one million miles from Kuaiji to Jiaozhi.

When they arrived at their destination, they had already entered the night. The lights emitted from the distant house emitted a hazy light under the refraction of raindrops, like stars in the night sky. It can be vaguely distinguished from the outline of the light and shadow that the size of the courtyard here is still above the previous embassies.

Without checking the invitation, the guards of the Wei Family Manor gate consciously opened the door, took the initiative to hold up a special giant umbrella with a path of several meters to shelter from the wind and rain, and led the guests to the depths of the manor.

Although it covers a large area, the buildings are quite sparse, and there are no large landscapes such as rockery and lakes. Instead, most areas are filled with colorful flowers and exotic plants, and there are at least thousands of varieties, many of which are plants that Zhao Qing had never seen before.

You should know that she has read hundreds of thousands of books in the Sui Dynasty library, including many records of plants, trees and flowers. Most of the varieties cannot be classified and identified. It can be seen that a considerable number of the flowers and plants cultivated here should be unique to the main world and have strange effects.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! It seems that this manor of thousands of acres should be a special flower and plant cultivation base. I don’t know if it is related to the invitations in Weiyu.

In order to avoid the danger of secretly hiding in Weiyu or others during this dinner, while observing and collecting information on these flowers and plants, Zhao Qing quietly bounced more than a dozen small ice beads into several ponds where lotus plants were planted, turning into the shape of ice lotus seeds and sinking into the depths of the mud at the bottom of the pond.

These black ice lotus seeds together form a multiple monitoring array, and are equipped with an appropriate amount of metal deuterium charge, which is connected to her mental fluctuations through the cradle system and can be detonated at any time as a backup plan for her arrangement.

After passing through these ponds, the group finally came to a small courtyard with a pond, a pile of stones, a planted trees and flowers, and a quiet environment. It is located in a large space, a support for the doubao, and a rich facade level. It is enough to teach any first-time visitor to be amazed.

The whole building is elegant and elegant, with the pool outside, and you can see the ripples of the pond, reflecting the shadow of trees and clouds, which is quite interesting in the hall and the pool in the hall.

"The two of you came just in time. The crab roe soup in the cauldron has been boiled for two hours. The spiritual energy and soup in the soup blend together, and the flavor is excellent. Please come to the banquet to taste a few."

When Zhao Qing came to this gorgeously decorated banquet hall and sat next to several banquets separated by pearl curtains, Weiyu, which was no different from a playboy in Kuaiji Martial Arts Academy, led a team of maids through another door and spoke lightly through the curtain.

What's noticeable is that this Weiyu is much thinner than what she remembers, and looks quite malnourished. It is suspected that he has practiced some extremely expensive quick success methods. When Zhao Qing secretly used his heart telepathy, he encountered a layer of barrier from a strange force.

As he made a sound, a maid immediately placed three tripods and two guis on the banquets of Zheng Dan and Zhao Qing, as well as a series of tableware corresponding to the ritual system, such as stools, duns, beans, chopsticks, stools, Yis, Zuns, Jue, and goblets, and several rows of maids played music, singing and dancing on the side.

However, even though Zhao Qing was not very familiar with the current rituals and music, she quickly realized that the singing and dancing skills of these maids were barely strong, far less than the previous ones, and no one had the cultivation level. It can be seen that the Wei family, which was once prominent, is now quite declining.

He had already inquired about the news before coming and had some communication with Zheng Dan on the way. Zhao Qing knew very well that Weiyu was threatened by his uncle in the past and had been hiding himself. Now that Weiyang has died, he is likely to rise with the flow, so he did not underestimate the other party.

Speaking of which, although the various tableware placed on the banquets look no different from bronzes, they have a blue-yellow color and a solemn shape, they are actually celadon made of imitation bronze, and they come from Yue Kiln, the most advanced ceramic technology in the world.

In addition to the crab roe soup specially introduced by Weiyu, there are also grilled fish, steak, lamb skewers, deer jelly and other delicacies that seem to be different from later generations. Each piece of food is full of spiritual energy inside and outside, which will help you practice after eating it.

Unlike normal history, the bronze ritual utensils used by the upper aristocratic banquets basically have practical functions such as heating, insulation, and reducing the dissipation of vital energy. They are essentially low-grade magic tools, and the materials contain spiritual bronze, that is, black copper and black tin alloys, and the cost is usually very high.

To this day, Zhao Qing has almost figured out that any fire-cultivating warrior can transform gold into iron. It can be seen that the current productivity can completely make large quantities of iron, but bronze objects are still flooded, and bronze weapons can be seen everywhere, which is the reason why it has become the mainstream:

Simply put, when it comes to factors that involve the vitality of heaven and earth, bronze ware currently has unique advantages compared to iron ware.

As we all know, different types of metals have different effects on the hindering effects of heaven and earth. For example, high-density metals such as lead, mercury, and gold. If the qi and true qi qi are penetrated, it will take more energy to consume;

This is also the reason why Zhao Qing used a vessel made of lead glass to store demonic energy, and the evil emperor's relics could be isolated and sensed by mercury liquid.

For bronzes that are generally made of three metals: copper, tin and lead, each of them has its own unique properties and functions:

Copper, among these three metals, mainly plays the role of storing vital energy. This is like in circuit components, capacitors play the role of storing electrical energy, providing a continuous stream of energy for the operation of the entire circuit.

In bronze weapons, this characteristic of copper is fully utilized. It can store the energy of vitality in large quantities and tightly, release it instantly during battle, and give the enemy a fatal blow.

Among the three types of metals, tin mainly plays the role of regulating the fluctuations of different vital energy. In circuit components, inductors have the function of regulating current fluctuations, and the role of tin in weapons is similar.

It can keenly perceive and regulate the fluctuations of vital energy released from copper, making its output more accurate and powerful, coordinated and orderly.

Finally, lead, the main function of this metal in weapons is to hinder the flow of vital energy. In circuit components, resistance plays a role in hindering current, and lead has the same role in weapons.

Through dividing and dividing pressure, it can effectively control the flow direction of the vital energy inside the copper-tin alloy, so that each attack can be carried out according to a predetermined route and play a role in condensing compressed energy.

There is no doubt that the current manufacturing process of mid-to-high-end bronzes belongs to the most cutting-edge confidentiality technology below the Six Qi Realm. Even if a warrior without background collects enough materials for casting, it can at most produce low-grade treasure soldiers.

When it reaches the level of Baobing, the materials of bronze ware have reached the level of Xuan copper, Xuan tin, Xuan lead, and their own strength and hardness are not much different from high-purity Xuan iron. It can even be replaced with aluminum bronze at the edge of the blade to defeat the other party;

If the distribution of each metal is controlled by using multi-layer casting, forming a complete vital energy path, and amplifying the power, even if the process is extremely complex and profound, it is definitely not something that cannot be used by those who do not understand the relevant technology, but it can be better than the black iron weapon.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! As for black iron-type instruments, the innate lack of permeability. Even if relevant vital energy path technology can be developed, it is impossible to catch up with the bronze technology that has been around for thousands of years in a short period of time in terms of complexity, so it is relatively rare and its value is not as good as bronze instruments.

As for the ordinary bronze utensils used by civilians, they mainly come from the companions of the mines of black copper and black tin. After all, if you want to breed spiritual metals, it is naturally more likely that this type of metal-rich mining area will be enriched.

"At the time of Huxu, stone was used as soldiers; during the time of Huangdi, jade was used as soldiers; during the time of Yu's cave, copper was used as soldiers." In ancient times, there were countless treasures in the world, and they could extremely luxuriously carve the Xuanyu materials that are now thousands of times more expensive than Xuan copper into jade soldiers.

It should be noted that as the various mysterious jades above the spiritual jade white jade, most of the unit volume reserves of the energy of the Yuanqi are more than 100 times that of the Xuan copper, and their hardness is even more comparable to that of a demigod weapon. If the cost is not too high, it is definitely the first choice for manufacturing weapons.

In Zhao Qing's opinion, in the main world, if iron tools replace the status of bronzeware in the future, it is also likely that the mining volume and reserves of Xuan copper and Xuan tin are limited, and they need to replace them with low-cost materials, just like the mining of Xuan jade in the world almost completely in the Yuxia period, leading to the transition of the Jade Age to the Bronze Age.

The Yue Kingdom is leading the Central Plains countries in all directions and has developed the porcelain making process initially as early as the Shang Dynasty. It is a lower-level alternative to spiritual material-grade bronze ritual vessels, made of a small amount of spiritual soil and spiritual sand with ordinary materials;

When the cost is far lower than that of bronzes of the same level, although the original lethality is lost by incorporating the vital energy runes into the body and glaze, some or even all the functions of ritual instruments can still be achieved.

Ordinary porcelain, medium and low-level magical porcelain, various treasures obtained from foreign Vietnamese, the giant beasts in the water hunted in coastal areas, and the thousand-year-old ancient trees and ten thousand-year-old sacred trees cut down south of Kuaiji Mountain are the main projects of Vietnam's foreign export trade today, which have driven the prosperity of Kuaiji City.

Looking closely at the material strength of these imitation bronze celadons, Zhao Qing also unexpectedly discovered that this advanced technology seems to have similarities with his original artificial synthetic black iron. They all belong to the category of artificial spiritual materials. With the technology of vital energy runes, they will have extremely broad prospects.

When she saw these porcelain magic tools that were common to prescriptions of the upper nobles for the first time, she studied the mystery and tasted the dishes on the table. It felt really good. At the same time, she also heard Weiyu's brief explanation of the reason for the banquet.

"So, what you mean is to invite a few of us to become the image endorsement of the 'Weicai Makeup Powder' you developed?" Through a layer of pearl curtain, Zheng Dan glanced at Zhao Qing, and asked in surprise with Yue Bo, the two women who were also attending the banquet.
