"Have you encountered any problems practicing magic these days?" Ming Yue brought the foot-washing water.
"No, it's good." Wu Dongfang sat on the bed and took off his shoes and socks.
Ming Yue washed his feet as usual. The relationship between husband and wife is often accumulated from many small cares. Ming Yue washed his feet, which gave him some warmth in his heart. The warm feeling diluted him. Dissatisfaction with Ming Yue.
"Do you have anything to tell me?" Wu Dongfang asked.
Ming Yue raised her head when she heard the sound, with uneasiness in her eyes and her hands stopped moving.
Wu Dongfang looked directly at Ming Yue with a smile on his face.
After a few seconds, Ming Yue lowered her head and continued to wash his feet, "Are you referring to the sacrifice?"
Wu Dongfang remained silent.
Seeing that he remained silent, Ming Yue knew that she had guessed correctly, but she did not speak any more. She just lowered her head and washed Wu Dongfang's feet. After washing her feet, she took the basin away and brought back a towel.
Wu Dongfang wiped his feet and went to bed, while Ming Yue undressed and lay inside.
After half an hour of silence, Ming Yue sighed, "This kind of sacrifice already existed when Ming Zhao was alive."
"I'm not Mingzhao." Wu Dongfang said calmly.
"Not only the Jin clan, but the other four clans also have similar sacrifices." Ming Yue said.
"What everyone does is not necessarily correct." Wu Dongfang said.
"If I gave birth to a child for you, I wouldn't hide it from you." Ming Yue said.
Wu Dongfang nodded. People at this time valued children very much. With a son, the bloodline would be inherited and life would be continued. Even if the father died in the war, the mother could raise the child. , this is a comfort to the husband and an explanation to the warrior.
"How much do you know about the Tiger God?" Wu Dongfang asked.
Ming Yue shook her head, "I don't know much about it. I only know that it is an ancient evil god with so much power that even the Golden God can't do anything to it."
"Where is the sacrifice?" Wu Dongfang asked.
"It seems to be in a valley northwest of the Kashi tribe." Ming Yue said uncertainly.
Wu Dongfang nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
"We have endured it for many years. You are our hope. It is unwise for you to fight against the Tiger God now." Ming Yue said.
"What should I do wisely?" Wu Dongfang asked.
"Be patient for the time being and wait until the spell is completed before trying to get rid of it." Ming Yue said.
"Let me tell you a story." Wu Dongfang briefly told the allusion to the crotch humiliation, "Do you think Han Xin did the right thing?"
"He was very magnanimous. After he gained power, he also banned the butcher who humiliated him." Ming Yue said.
"He took the initiative to kneel down and crawl under the butcher's crotch. This was wise. Only by doing so could he ensure that he would not be harmed. After gaining power, it was also wise to ban the butcher from his official position, because if he killed the butcher, The world will know that he crawled under the butcher's crotch out of fear. Conferring an official title on the butcher will not only cover up his cowardice, but also take the opportunity to improve his status in the eyes of the people." Wu Dongfang said. There was a slight pause here, "I have also been humiliated, but my choice was not wise. I was eleven years old at that time, and seven or eight children older than me scolded my adoptive mother with unpleasant words. I knew I could not beat her. They, but I still rushed over. As a result, my nose was broken by them, my eyes were swollen, and one of my teeth was knocked out. They kicked me and stepped on my head. They knew what I was thinking at that time. ?"
Ming Yue said nothing, stretched out her hand to hug his arm, tilted her head and leaned on his shoulder.
"At that time, my heart was full of pride. My adoptive mother was my benefactor. I did not allow others to insult her. If they insulted me, I could use a wise method to stay away. But when they insulted the benefactor who raised me, I You must rush forward and fight even if you can't. This is the bottom line of being a human being. When the bottom is reached, I will not tolerate it. Some things can be tolerated, and some things cannot be tolerated. If I endure it for the rest of my life, I will never be able to hold my head up. "Wu Dongfang said. He was not sure about tomorrow's battle. Deep in his heart, he felt as tragic and sad as a moth flying into a flame.
"What happened to that matter in the end?" Ming Yue asked softly.
"When my adoptive mother found out, she held me and cried for half the night. The next day, I stole the kitchen knife from home and stopped one of the children who beat me yesterday on the road..."
"Did you kill him?" Ming Yue interrupted eagerly.
"I was very young at that time and couldn't kill anyone. I just chopped his arm." Wu Dongfang laughed.
"Then." Ming Yue was very concerned about his childhood experience.
"Then his father came to our house and demanded compensation, but our family was very poor and had nothing to compensate him, so he smashed the windows of our house and the evil gold iron pot used for cooking," Wu Dongfang said.
"What happens next?" Ming Yue asked.
"In the afternoon, I stole a sickle from my neighbor and ran to find another one. The villagers saw me and stopped me. In the evening of the same day, the children who beat me came to my house under the guidance of their parents. I apologized, brought a lot of gifts, and gave my adoptive mother some currency. From then on, all the children in the village did not dare to bully me. They all knew that if they offended me, I would definitely come back with revenge." Wu Dongfang said with a smile.
"You are so brave." Ming Yue applauded with some fear.
"I'm not very courageous. I'm afraid of pain and even more afraid of death, but I'm a man, and as a man, I have to do what men should do." Wu Dongfang said sternly.
"The Jin clan will always remember you." Ming Yue said.
"Okay, I like you like this, mother-in-law. When I locked Yunjiao and let you escape, you chose to listen to me. I am very happy. You made the right choice. If it were any other woman, you would have cried. Staying there makes my death meaningless." Wu Dongfang said, Ming Yue's words showed that she had agreed with him to do what he wanted to do.
"What do you need me to do?" Ming Yue asked.
"Keep it a secret for me. I don't want other wizards to know about this. Originally, I didn't want you to know, but we are husband and wife, and I can't hide anything from you. I will do this by myself. If I If you don't come back before sunrise, you will know that I am dead. Please help me take care of my rice bowl and be kind to the prince."
"If you die, I will bury you." Ming Yue said softly.
Wu Dongfang frowned when he heard this. Women are different from men. If a man makes up his mind, his voice will be loud and his tone will be firm. Women are just the opposite. If a woman is determined, her voice will be small and her tone will be very soft.
"I hope you are alive." Wu Dongfang said.
"If I don't stop you, you can't stop me." Ming Yue said.
"I have a way to stop you." Wu Dongfang said.
Ming Yue tilted her head in confusion.
Wu Dongfang smiled evilly and turned over, "I can find something for you to do."
What should be done is done anyway. Whether Ming Yue can find something to do depends on luck.
At noon the next day, the palace sent soldiers over and invited him to come into the palace to discuss matters.
"What does King Jin want to do with you?" Ming Yue was confused.
"I asked him to help me prepare some things to make a weapon against the tiger monster. I should have everything together." Wu Dongfang wrapped the sunset bow and quiver in cloth.
"My brother is good at this, do you want to ask him for help?" Ming Yue asked.
"No, don't blow up your brother-in-law to death." Wu Dongfang said with a smile. He could tell the truth to Ming Yue but did not dare to tell the truth to Ming Zhan. If he told Ming Zhan, Ming Zhan would definitely tell Ming Zhen that his son and daughter The difference is that a son has the same mind as his father, and a daughter has the same mind as her husband.
"You just left like that?" Ming Yue looked at Wu Dongfang who was going out with a cloth bag under his arm.
"You want me to tell you my last words?" Wu Dongfang smiled.
"Are you sure?" Ming Yue was very nervous.
"I don't even know what my opponent looks like, so how can I be sure about it? But back then, your father and the others used the Third Age of Peeping Life. I don't think I can die." Wu Dongfang stepped out of the hall.
After leaving the house, Wu Dong handed the cloth bag to the soldiers who came to summon him, "Hold it for me and let's go."
When he arrived at the palace, the soldiers guarding the city did not stop him. King Jin had already given an order that there would be no need for notification when the White Tiger Celestial Master entered the palace in the future.
King Jin was waiting in the front hall. When he saw Wu Dongfang coming, he raised his hands and stepped back, leading Wu Dongfang to the east courtyard of the palace. There were nine carriages parked near the gate of the palace, covered with linen straw curtains.
Wu Dongfang walked over and opened them one by one to check, and found that the nine carriages were loaded with charcoal, saltpeter and sulfur. These were raw materials and had not been crushed and refined.
Half an hour later, Wu Dongfang left the capital with a thick copper pillar. He made three trips and took away three copper pillars of the same size. They contained three kinds of powders. For fear of leaking the formula, he did not Matching is done in the palace.
The correct ratio is 60% saltpeter, 30% sulfur, and 10% charcoal. Use all three cartloads of saltpeter, use one and a half cartloads of sulfur, and use most of the cartload of charcoal. This ratio does not need to be very precise. It should be roughly this ratio.
I tested it by mixing a little and it worked.
The completed copper pillar was two armfuls thick and more than ten meters long. It was extremely heavy. It was very difficult to control such heavy metal. It took him four hours to bring the copper pillar to the boundary of Kashi.
By the time he found the valley with a large number of bones scattered on the northwest border of the Karshi tribe, Wu Dongfang was sweating profusely. Partly tired, but mainly afraid. Black gunpowder is not as stable as tnt. Tnt will not explode even if it is burned. Black gunpowder If it is violently shaken, it may explode. If the tiger demon is not killed and the tiger monster is blown up first, it will be useless.
The terrain around this valley is very strange, filled with thick fog. From south to north, you can't see the end of the fog. To the west, you can only see some mountain tops that are higher than the fog layer. The area covered by the fog is very broad, and you can see it at a glance. Boundless.
If the area shrouded in fog is a huge closed area, the valley in front of us is the east gate to and from this closed area.
After a brief breather, Wu Dongfang began to look around to observe the environment. Time was running out. He had to select a location as soon as possible to plant the bomb...
