Three days later, in an elegant and quiet courtyard in Tiangong City, in a tea house, Zhang Tie and an old man with white eyebrows and white robes were sitting opposite each other, drinking tea and talking about talismans...
"What are runes?" Zhang Tie asked.
"The rune, the cardinal of creation, the bridge between the two worlds, the marrow of the six senses!" the old man answered.
"What is a cardinal, what is a bridge, what is the marrow?" Zhang Tie continued to ask.
"Cardinal, the way of change. The universe was born from the chaos. There were originally no symbols in the chaos. Once the chaos opened and the world was divided, there was a cardinal change, and the runes were born..." The old man While drinking tea leisurely, he answered Zhang Tie's question, "The two realms, the elemental realm and the material realm, the laws of runes, communicate for two times, the mysterious and mysterious, the secret and the secret, with the power of the elemental realm and the physical world. The middle manifestation is a bridge. The six senses are the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind. The talisman is made in nature. It can be picked up by chance by a skilled hand. If a person's six senses can understand the creation of heaven, picking up the talisman is like picking the fruit from the tree..."
"How to feel it?"
"Since your body is created by creation, since it is the two realms, and since it is the six consciousnesses, if you ask me, I will ask you again!"
Zhang Tie held the thick tea cup in his hand, closed his eyes and meditated. After a long time, he drank all the tea in his hand, and then bowed to the old man, "Thank you!"
"Can the old man's few words solve the general's confusion?" The old man smiled.
Zhang Tie's eyes sparkled, "How do you recognize me?"
"In recent years, I have used the principles of runes to understand the art of divination and gained some experience. Last night I had a dream, in which I dreamed of a dazzling divine bird with wings covering the sky entering my courtyard. I used this dream as an excuse this morning. I guessed that a distinguished guest came to the door today, and his identity is now a third-level officer in the war zone. When the general came today, he had an unfamiliar face, and he had stayed in Tiangong City for more than two months. I suddenly thought of a person, That man is also a third-level officer in the war zone, and he possesses the phantom body and divine veins, which can change endlessly. He is famous all over the world. I heard that that man has been away from Kangzhou for more than two months. His whereabouts are secret, and the old man already knows it..." The old man said calmly. said.
Zhang Tie was dumbfounded, the method of divination was indeed mysterious and mysterious. He also didn't expect that after he had stayed in Tiangong City for more than two months, he would be able to be seen hiding when he came to visit the old man this time. However, Zhang Tie had experienced this kind of thing once before in the ice and snow wasteland, and he would experience it again this time. , not too surprised. According to Erqida, some people do have the ability to predict the future, but this is just the magical bird in dreams that the old man said. But it reminded Zhang Tie of the Wu Jian Peng King Sutra he had practiced.
Does this person know something, or is he hinting
This thought suddenly appeared in Zhang Tie's heart. For a moment, a trace of murderous intent flashed in his heart, but then, when he saw the old man's wise eyes looking at him as warm as water, the trace of murderous intent in his heart instantly melted away and disappeared without a trace. trace.
This is suspicion giving birth to a ghost. What can a dream mean? Zhang Tie laughed at himself. So what if he knew, so what if he didn't know? If one day everyone in the world knew about it, would it be possible for him to kill everyone in the world
With the advancement of the Nine Transformations of the Earth. With the Phantom Knight looming in sight, Zhang Tie's mentality had unknowingly undergone some changes. In the past, he was worried that the secret of his cultivation of the Wujianpeng King Sutra would be known to others, but now, although Zhang Tie would not let others know about his cultivation of the Emperor-level classics, The secret is written on the forehead. He wanted to let everyone know, but he was very open-minded about what others thought, and he no longer even cared about what would happen if the secret was leaked. Emperor Xuanyuan and the Taixia royal family practice the complete emperor-level secret book "Xuanyuan Divine Transformation Sutra". Everyone in the world knows it, but so what, who dares to touch a hair of Emperor Xuanyuan and the Taixia royal family, the Taixia royal family is not worried What are you worried about? In the final analysis, the world is only about whose fist is bigger.
This is the mentality of the strong.
"Sir, since you already know that I have stayed in Tiangong City for more than two months, you must also know why I am here. Could you please give me some advice?" Zhang Tie asked calmly.
"What the general wants to do is as difficult as climbing to the sky. The general's ability is a hundred times better than that of the old man. The old man is just an ordinary person who has a little knowledge of the way of rune refining. How dare he give advice to the general? The general's way can only be Go on your own, understand by yourself, gain by yourself, no one else can help, what the old man said just now is just to use his own gains to provide the general with detailed information... "
Zhang Tie let out a long sigh, "Is there really nothing we can do?"
"The power of flywheels and steam has reached its limit and exhaustion. If we want to break through again, unless we can find new runes that can increase the speed of objects, and use these runes to build a rune array, we may be able to realize what the general wants!" The old man said with great certainty.
Lin Xiuxian and Zhang Tie said this three days ago, and now the old man said it again. Zhang Tie knew that there was no other possibility, because this was also the conclusion he had reached.
"This means that to discover new runes, we can only expect someone to discover some relics, miracles or the like in the Earth Yuan Realm?"
The runes currently used by the rune refiners are exactly the runes that humans have discovered in the mysterious ruins of the Earth Yuan Realm since the Cataclysm. From the Cataclysm to today, for more than 900 years, humans have discovered the runes in the Earth Yuan Realm. There are only two large ruins. It is these two rune ruins that have promoted the great development of the human race's rune refiner profession. It is expected that someone will discover new rune ruins in the Earth Yuan Realm. This possibility is like finding a needle in a haystack. Zhang Tiedu felt that it was too ethereal, and if there happened to be such an extremely rare speed-increasing rune among the discovered rune ruins, it was even more likely that a blind cat would encounter a dead mouse.
Zhang Tie couldn't help but reveal a hint of helplessness in his tone.
"At present, this is the only possibility, but..."
"But what?"
“It’s unknown if someone can create this kind of speed-increasing rune by himself?”
"Can anyone really do that?"
Creating a rune by yourself is a bit too exaggerated when you think about it. With Zhang Tie's vision and ability today, he feels that this possibility is even more unreliable than the previous one that relied on ruins.
"These runes today were obtained by ancient gods and men observing the wonders of heaven and earth. I wonder if I don't have this ability, but there are countless people in the world who are amazingly talented and brilliant. Maybe there are really sages who can connect the ancient and modern worlds between heaven and man. Saints can evolve new runes from the changes in the great avenues of heaven and earth, and create a glorious line of human rune refiners... "
Zhang Tie smiled bitterly, thanked him again, and left the teahouse.
The old man stood up and personally sent Zhang Tie away.
Outside the teahouse is a courtyard. The yard was full of peach blossoms. In March, the peach blossoms were in full bloom, filling the courtyard with fragrance. The peach blossoms reminded Zhang Tie of those peach trees in Xuanyuan Hill. The old man's disciples were waiting outside the tea house. When they saw the old man personally sending Zhang Tie out with a gentle and respectful attitude, the two disciples looked at Zhang Tie with wide eyes, as if they were looking at a monster. Because their master has a high status in Tiangong City, over the years, all the people who came to visit their master, even if they were dignitaries, the old man would at most politely send them out of the tea house and never set foot in the yard. But today, the old man made an exception and The person was sent to the yard, and seemed to be sent out the door.
After recovering from the shock, the two old man's disciples quickly led the way for Zhang Tie.
Outside the courtyard gate. There were many people standing under the steps waiting respectfully. Those people were all Rune Refiners in Tiangong City, and their lowest level had reached the level of Secret Talisman Refiner. The door of the small courtyard opened with a creak, and those When people saw the old man's two disciples and the old man sending Zhang Tie out, they were all stunned.
"Ah, who is this person? Why did Mr. Jinlong send this person out in person?"
"I don't know. Could it be that this person is Mr. Jinlong's new disciple?"
"It's not like that, and Mr. Jinlong has already accepted Yibo disciples a few years ago. Mr. Jinlong himself said that he will not accept any more disciples!"
The people waiting outside were whispering, and they all looked at Zhang Tie with all kinds of envy and jealousy. Needless to say, the reason for hatred was the envy and jealousy. I hate Zhang Tie for not knowing how high the sky is and how he dared to trouble Mr. Jinlong to see him off.
"Sir, please stay!" Zhang Tie turned around and said.
"Walk slowly!" the old man smiled.
Zhang Tie nodded and didn't say much. He just glanced at the people outside the courtyard who were all looking at him, then walked up the steps to the courtyard door and walked directly out of the alley.
The old man kept watching Zhang Tie's body turn from the alley. Then he turned around and returned to the small courtyard. As soon as the old man left, all the people waiting outside the courtyard suddenly woke up and rushed forward one by one.
"Master, we won't see you again today, please leave your greetings and go back!" One of the old man's disciples said, stopping everyone.
When those people heard this, they could only take out their own greeting cards and handed them to the old man's two disciples. The old man's two disciples received the greeting card and sent a small metal sign to the person. The sign with the time written on it, and the one closest to the time, is also scheduled for June 21, three months later...
Mr. Jinlong is the most respected rune refiner in Tiangong City. He is especially accomplished in runes. Mr. Jinlong is willing to mentor the younger disciples of the rune refiners, so there are many people in Tiangong City every day. The rune refiner was waiting to see Mr. Jinlong. Zhang Tie came to Tiangong City more than two months ago to submit the invitation, and waited for more than two months before meeting Mr. Jinlong...
…
After leaving the small courtyard, Zhang Tie walked alone in Tiangong City. When he met Mr. Jinlong this time, Zhang Tie no longer had any doubts in his heart.
It’s time to leave Tiangong City!
Zhang Tie said to himself in his heart.
As soon as this decision was made, there was a sudden burst of exclamations from the surrounding streets, and everyone raised their heads and looked at the sky.
Zhang Tie also looked up and saw seven Air Cavalry Type 1 aircraft dragging seven streaks of colorful smoke flying over Tiangong City...
The sun was shining brightly in the sky, so the three planes looked particularly clear, especially the colorful smoke trailing behind the seven planes flying across the sky, like a rainbow drawn in the sky. It was particularly eye-catching, I thought. It doesn’t even work if people don’t notice.
Many people in Tiangong City may be used to seeing airships, and many people have also seen airships, but it is estimated that this is the first time for many people to see an airplane. When seven Air Cavalry 1 aircraft flew over the city with rainbows, the entire Tiangong City was in a state of excitement.
This is an Air Cavalry Type 1 aircraft produced and assembled in the factory in Tiangong City according to the drawings. The candle oil is also shipped from afar. The pilot flying the aircraft is definitely from the Thunder Falcon Training Brigade of the Candle Dragon Legion.
This test flight is the best advertisement and the most exciting encouragement...
When I saw an airplane flying over with a rainbow in the sky, on the ground, children and teenagers were running and chasing each other on the streets. Adults also stretched their heads from balconies and windows to look at the sky and patrolled the city. The soldiers seemed to have forgotten their duties at this time, and stopped one by one, looking at the three machines whizzing past the sky with strange eyes. The driver of the subway car on the street leaned half of his body out of the window, also twisting his neck and looking at the sky. At this time, the drivers of many vehicles were also tilting their heads in the car and looking at the sky...
"Peng..." Because I was too absorbed in watching. Several cars rear-ended each other on the street. The drivers behind the rear-end didn't argue. Instead, they simply stopped the car and walked out of the cab one by one, looking up.
Many people even ran directly to the roof. Take a telescope and watch carefully.
At this time, workers from various factories in Tiangong City who were involved in aircraft manufacturing and providing various parts and components, led by a group of workshop leaders and factory managers, ran out of the workshop and looked at the aircraft flying in the sky. And that beautiful rainbow, each one is full of pride - because the parts they produced are currently on those aircraft.
…
"This is an airplane. It's a candle-oil-burning airplane brought by Qianji Zhenren. With this thing, we can beat those demons hard. No matter how many demons there are, we won't be afraid anymore..." Someone was walking on the street. shouted.
"Candle oil, what is candle oil?"
"You will know in a few months. We have a candle oil production base outside Tiangong City. When the corn in those fields matures, we can produce candle oil..."
"This thing can fight demons!"
"Of course, in the sky, even airships are no match for these aircraft!"
…
Pieces of colorful paper fell from the sky like snow. When those pieces of paper fell, people around them quickly grabbed one and held it in their hands to look at it.
…
"Producing candle oil is to protect Taixia!"
"Producing aircraft is to fight against the demons!"
"Join the Taixia Invincible Air Cavalry and realize your man's dream of flying heroes!"
"Salute to all the workers and masters of all the factories in Tiangong City who participated in the major aircraft manufacturing project in the western theater of Taixia!"
"Taixia will win. The Chinese will win!"
Those colorful pieces of paper are filled with exciting slogans.
The excitement in Tiangong City turned into cheers, and the cheers became louder and louder. Gradually, it swept through the entire Tiangong City like a tsunami.
…
A piece of red paper flew in front of Zhang Tie's eyes. Zhang Tie grabbed it and looked at the content on the slogan. A smile appeared on Zhang Tie's face - these little bastards really don't miss such an opportunity!
The sun rises in the east and rains in the west, for more than two months in Tiangong City. My own steam centrifugal cannon has encountered huge obstacles. It is still far away when it will be ready. However, this plane came out first.
The seeds he sown have finally sprouted, and all the airship warriors who are sleeping in the Cernes war zone can rest in peace at this time.
No matter what, just have a clear conscience. Zhang Tie took a deep breath and put the piece of paper away.
Amidst the cheers and excitement in Tiangong City, Zhang Tie quietly and peacefully left Tiangong City among the happy crowd...
…
In the small courtyard where Zhang Tie had just left, Mr. Jinlong was standing under the peach blossom tree in the courtyard at this time, calmly looking at the gradually thinning rainbow in the sky and listening to the sounds among the neighbors. There were louder and louder cheers, and he murmured to himself, "This is it, those who are good at fighting have no great achievements..."
Except for him, no one in the entire Tiangong City knew that the person who brought all this had visited his courtyard just today. Perhaps that person had already left Tiangong City at this time.
…
Tens of thousands of meters in the sky, Zhang Tie's body was like electricity, and his phantom body and divine pulse were pulsing again, and he had transformed into his original boy appearance.
After flying hundreds of miles out of Tiangong City, a gust of golden wind blew in his face, and the Thunder Falcon came from behind and caught up with Zhang Tie.
Zhang Tie stepped on Lei Falcon's back, patted Lei Falcon on the head, and said proudly, "Let's go to Yezhou, kill demons, kill traitors, eat fruits, and become a phantom..."
The Thunder Falcon let out a long cry, seeming to understand what Zhang Tie said. Its speed instantly broke through the sound barrier and flew directly to the west...
