In addition to the Lu family and the Gu family, in Youzhou, there are either one, two, or at most three elders from the Yan family in Chaoyang County, the Liu family in Changshan County, the Ximen family in Xingbei County, and the Sun family in Guide County. , most of the faces are somewhat familiar, of course, there are also many unfamiliar faces, but among the more than 40 knights on the flying boat, less than a quarter of the knights Zhang Tie saw for the first time.
Elder Gu’s mood was complicated, but the elders of other families did not think as much as Elder Gu. They all smiled and nodded at Zhang Tie with a very cordial attitude, and gathered around to greet Zhang Tie and Master Pengshan. For a moment, they were all Among a group of knights, Zhang Tie was like a star holding the moon. The descendants of many knights on the flying boat were Zhang Tie's direct disciples. The attitude of these elders towards Zhang Tie was even better.
What's more, Zhang Tie is also a knight of the earth. In the world of knights, strength is respected. Zhang Tie's knight rank and reputation as Qianji Zhenren means that he is naturally highly respected due to his status among everyone.
Guo Hongyi is also there.
Zhang Tie remembered that the Guo family seemed to have only three knights in total. Zhang Tie did not expect that Guo Hongyi would actually take action in person.
Among a group of knights dominated by men, Guo Hongyi stood out alone, cold and arrogant, which was quite eye-catching.
When Zhang Tie looked at Guo Hongyi, Guo Hongyi also happened to look over, and the two people's eyes rubbed silently in the air.
Zhang Tie just glanced at Guo Hongyi one more time. One of his arms was hugged tightly by Bai Suxian, and it was pressed against Bai Suxian's plump and soft chest. Guo Hongyi suddenly turned his head away.
It took a full two minutes for the knight elders to greet Zhang Tie.
…
"Qianji Zhenren and the two knights from the Iron Dragon Sect have arrived. The knights who came to Youzhou in response to Xuanyuan's order this time were supposed to be 38, but they actually arrived at 43. Please come in and have a rest. We will set off for Yanzhou now. City!" Zhang Taixuan, wearing the official uniform of the governor, spoke. The movable hatch on the deck of the flying boat slowly slid up, sealing the deck, and the flying boat started to move. Fly directly towards Yanzhou.
Zhang Tie's Zhulong Territory is close to the junction of Yanzhou and Youzhou, so Zhang Tie and Bai Suxian were also the last people to board the flying boat.
Many knights. Including people like Pengshan Zhenren and Bai Suxian.
Master Pengshan is Xianyun Yehe. Although he is an elder of the Iron Dragon Sect, he does not have any foundation in Youzhou, and he does not have any family in Taixia. For Xuanyuan Order, even if he does not come, no one can do anything to him. Sample.
Bai Suxian's other identity is the princess of Guangnan Palace, this time. The Guangnan Palace will also respond to Xuanyuan's order, and the number of knights sent by the Guangnan Palace, even if Bai Suxian is not included, will definitely not be less.
There are also extra knights. Some families originally only needed two knights to apply, but three came. This extra knight seems to be the extra effort of the family, but in fact, it is A means for these families to protect themselves. Because on the battlefield. Three family knights who know each other well and trust each other can form a trinity battle formation. Such a trinity battle formation has been developed over time. The power is far beyond ordinary, and it can greatly improve the survivability of three family knights on the battlefield at the same time. Sending three family knights has a higher chance of returning alive than sending two family knights.
Following Zhang Taixuan's words, everyone walked from the deck into the interior of the flying boat.
There is also a hall inside the governor-level flying boat. In the hall, there are also some food and drinks. There are less than 50 knights here. It still seemed very empty after Zhang Tie arrived. All the knights from Youzhou who came in response to Xuanyuan's order gathered together.
Normally, it would be rare for knights from so many families to gather together in Youzhou. Everyone may still be in the mood to chat, but at this time, everyone is naturally not in the mood to gather here. From Zhulongling to Yanzhou City, it will take more than three hours by flying boat. Everyone They greeted each other and exchanged a few words. After Zhang Taixuan said a few words briefly as the governor of Youzhou, everyone found a place to sit down in the hall. Each knight closed his eyes, meditated, or rested his mind, etc. Simply take out the Earth Element Crystal from your storage bag and absorb it.
When it comes to the battlefield, even for knights, the stronger you are, the better your chance of saving your life. At this time, everyone as a knight naturally races against time and is unwilling to waste their time. Only Zhang Taixuan and Zhang Taixuan, who have a celebrity style, Lu Dingzhi seemed to have the same temperament. At this time, the two of them were still in the mood to play chess.
Master Pengshan and Bai Suxian also found a place to sit down respectively. Master Pengshan took out a water element crystal from the space equipment he carried and absorbed it while a group of people looked at him with envy.
Seeing everyone practicing meditation, Zhang Taixuan and Lu Dingzhi also left the hall. Zhang Tie sent a message and asked Elders Murray and Mu Yu to follow him out of the hall.
No one was surprised that the three people left the hall. After all, Zhang Tie was the supreme elder of Huaiyuantang. It was quite normal for a supreme elder and two family elders to say a few words and explain something at this time.
Arriving at the far end of the hall and seeing no one around, Zhang Tie found a room that looked like a small conference hall and pulled the two people in. As soon as they entered the room, Zhang Tie stretched out his hand and pretended to be in his arms. After digging it out, they each took something and put it in the hands of the two elders of Huaiyuantang.
"Oh, we are all elders of Huaiyuantang... I got this thing by luck in the Diyuan world, so I will... lend it to you first, so that you can be more confident on the battlefield. When you come back, you won't need it. Then... just give it back to me!"
After using the art of sound transmission to explain to the two elders, Zhang Tie also opened the door of the room and left without waiting for the two elders of Huaiyuantang to object.
Elder Murray and Elder Mu Yu looked at the things in their hands, and each of them was shocked...
"This is..." Elder Mu Yu swallowed hard and looked up at Elder Murray.
Elder Murray's hand also shook, "There is something inside..."
Within the two space rings, all kinds of medicines, food, and water sources have been prepared, and there are more than 200 earth element crystals each, which is enough for a knight to survive for ten years without any supplies without any problems. In addition, each ring also contains a silver secret-level sword for melee combat, floating radiantly in the space ring.
Except Zhang Tie. Among all the elders of Huaiyuantang, until now. Only Zhang Taixuan, the head of the family, received a spatial ring from the governor of Youzhou when he served as governor of Youzhou.
Zhang Tie gave away two pieces of such precious space equipment at once, and both pieces of space equipment contained a secret silver treasure. If this was not considered a big deal, there would be no such big deal in this world.
Neither of the two elders of Huaiyuantang thought that Zhang Tie quietly pulled them out just to give them such a thing.
"Elder Mu Shen has such a reputation as a thousand opportunities. As expected..." Elder Mu Yu sighed, sincerely convinced...
"Put it away, this is the pure heart of Elder Mu Shen..." Elder Murray also sighed with emotion.
With this kind of precious equipment that can greatly increase their chances of survival on the battlefield, the two of them naturally did not refuse to be polite.
Elder Mu Yu was just about to put the ring on his hand, but found that Elder Murray directly put the ring into a mithril rune necklace hanging around his neck, and carefully put it away close to his body, so that it could not be seen from the outside. After coming out, Elder Mu Yu thought for a while, followed suit, and took the ring off his finger again. Hanging a necklace around his neck.
This is called wealth not showing up in vain!
A black iron knight wears a portable space ring. With this kind of style, except for a few super wealthy families in Taixia and some powerful elite disciples from the seven major sects of Taixia. If worn by ordinary knights, it would be too eye-catching.
After hiding the ring, the two elders looked at each other, smiled, then opened the door and returned to the hall...
…
Neither Zhang Tie nor the two elders of Huaiyuantang noticed that just now, when Zhang Tie took out two pieces of space equipment from the Black Iron Castle, he and Lu Dingzhi walked to the door of a quiet room above the flying boat. Zhang Taixuan moved his fingers slightly while wearing the colorful ring.
Except Zhang Taixuan who is walking. No one else can detect it.
"Brother Lu, it's right here..." Zhang Taixuan smiled and pushed open the door of the quiet room. A table and two futons were revealed in the quiet room.
"Hahaha, today is the first time I have learned Brother Taixuan's chess skills. Brother Taixuan, don't hide your secrets..." Lu Dingzhi laughed.
"Brother Lu is about to go to the west to fight the demons on the battlefield. He still has such interest. It is a light weight. Being able to talk to Brother Lu today can be regarded as a quiet moment in the chaos. I can learn from Brother Lu's skills of nourishing the heart and Qi..." Zhang Taixuan said modestly.
"No, no, compared to the Taixia sages, my ability to nourish qi is far behind. I just hope I don't make people laugh!"
The two people laughed and started playing chess in the quiet room...
…
Zhang Tie once again took out two pieces of space equipment and two pieces of silver secrets. It was not to show off, nor to win over the elders in Huaiyuan Hall, but simply to have peace of mind. On the battlefield of the battle between humans and demons, even the knights , is also on the run. As a member of Huaiyuantang, seeing that the two elders of Huaiyuantang are also going to the battlefield, Zhang Tie just wants to let the two elders of Huaiyuantang fight on the battlefield if he is capable. A chance to save lives. If Elders Murray and Mu Yu went to the battlefield and died like this without doing anything, Zhang Tie asked himself, I am afraid he would have uneasy conscience for the rest of his life.
Zhang Tie knew that Elder Murray had a silver secret longbow in his hand, but that longbow was suitable for long-distance combat, but not for close combat. He simply left two weapons in the space ring that could be used for close combat.
In just a few days, Zhang Tie has sent out four pieces of space equipment, and in Zhang Tie's hands, he still has a bunch of space equipment, which can scare people to death.
After giving Elders Murray and Mu Yu two pieces of space equipment, Zhang Tie also returned to the hall, sat down next to Master Pengshan, closed his eyes, and imagined several things in his mind. Ten abacuses began to count.
A minute later, Elder Murray and Elder Mu Yu also came back. There was nothing strange on their faces. After each sat down in a place, they began to practice quietly.
After a while, the hall where dozens of knights gathered became silent.
…
In Zhang Tie's mind, twenty-seven abacus were crackling and performing complex four arithmetic operations...
After returning from the ice and snow wasteland, Zhang Tie's mental power increased sharply again. The increased mental power increased the distraction ability of Zhang Tie's "Thousand Beads Heart Art" to the point where it can be used for twenty-seven times in one heart. .
After reaching the point where the distraction technique can be used for twenty-seven times, Zhang Tie felt that it had reached the limit of the "Thousand Beads Heart Art" and his own brain distraction. After reaching this step, no matter how much mental power he had, he could still visualize it. No matter how many abacus there are, there is no way to give the twenty-eighth abacus the power of distraction.
Twenty-seven is a magic number.
The Chinese say that nine is the ultimate number. The number twenty-seven is exactly three times nine. The Chinese say that one is born with two, two begets three, and three begets all things. The number twenty-seven is exactly the cube of three, which is A natural number is an odd number and a composite number. It is also the seventh number in the Lucas sequence. One-twenty-seventh is an infinitely recurring number with a cyclic section of 037...
Just like the number of fruits on a small tree, Zhang Tie knew that there were also numbers of distraction techniques. This number was twenty-seven.
After constant attempts, Zhang Tie could visualize thousands of abacuses in his sea of consciousness at this moment, or even more. Zhang Tie felt that he still had a huge surplus of mental power, but even with these thousands No matter what, there are only twenty-seven abacus that can be controlled by distraction ability. If you want to make the other abacus move, you can, but all the abacus that are moved will be linked. In fact, Only twenty calculations can be calculated at the same time...
After trying for a long time, Zhang Tie once again confirmed that his distraction technique could not break through twenty-seven. Zhang Tie finally gave up trying. Just when Zhang Tie wanted the abacus he had visualized in the sea of consciousness to dissipate, the consciousness The sight of thousands of abacus densely gathered together in the sea actually moved Zhang Tie's heart.
As Zhang Tie changed his mind, the thousands of abacus in the sea of consciousness suddenly started to move.
Only this time, Zhang Tie did not let those abacus do any calculations. Instead, like building blocks, the abacus that seemed to exist in Zhang Tie's consciousness gathered together and turned into several faces filled with A huge wall of countless abacus beads…
These huge walls reminded Zhang Tie of the steam computers he had seen, which were also densely packed with computing gears that looked like candied haws skewers...
It's really too similar.
If you visualize the rounded beads in the abacus as gears, and then visualize the other structures of the steam computer, then can you visualize a steam computer in your own head
A ray of light flashed across the void of Zhang Tie's sea of consciousness...
…
"Yanzhou City has arrived..."
Before Zhang Tie could try, a voice rang in Zhang Tie's ears...
More than three hours passed in the blink of an eye...
Zhang Tie suddenly opened his eyes...
