Chapter 1274 Broken Bones
Zhao Cheng naturally had no resistance to this kind of devil stain. The devil wanted to swallow him, and he also wanted to swallow the devil. The final result was just to see who had better means. If Zhao Cheng had not comprehended a trace of the Tao of the Tao Master, he actually did not have much confidence. He relied on the fact that the devil could only lose once, while he could lose countless times and restart. But now, he has comprehended some of the changes of the Tao Master's "Yi".
Even if this thing is only a little bit, it is still a little bit, and it is also relative to the Tao Master, the original. Yi, the change of the sun and the moon, is the best at change. Now, relying on this change, Zhao Cheng's true Tao seed has taken root, which is more than ten million times deeper than the devil stain of the devil.
Only when the root is deep enough, when this Taoist body is completely stained by the devil and becomes the incarnation of the devil, Zhao Cheng can reverse it and plant Tao in the devil, instead of making wedding clothes for the devil with all his efforts.
As for the current situation, the additional investment in the demon fetus is a kind of aggregate for the demon fetus. Strength is knowledge, knowledge is strength, and the so-called ink dye is also a kind of knowledge. Although Zhao Cheng did not refine these ink dyes while cultivating the Tao in the demon, the subtle mysteries in them still flowed into his heart, were absorbed by him, and turned into the nourishment for his growth, which actually had a bit of the meaning of the arrival of the spark.
Such a scene also made Zhao Cheng think about whether his method of cultivating the Tao in the demon, if it evolved to the peak, could be comparable to the arrival of the spark. When a seed of Tao descends, it means that all living beings are united and all belong to me.
Or, the mechanism of the arrival of the spark on his panel is actually a preview of his future form, capturing some of the characteristics of his powerful future.
Recently, even though Zhao Cheng's original body has turned into a seed of Tao, he has not been idle. In addition to evolving many bodies, he has also been exploring time and space.
But he knows that for the weak, the future is illusory, but for the strong, the future itself is a powerful force.
There were a thousand things in his mind, but Zhao Cheng's Taoist body was very calm. His heart was filled with the joy of the transformation of the Tao seed, without revealing any flaws.
The flower blossomed to the ninth level. With such merit, it was already very close to the twelfth level of human immortal. Of course, the difficulty of the last three steps was greater than the previous nine steps.
According to Zhao Cheng's estimation, if he defended Wucheng to death, it would take decades to cross it. This speed was of course very fast, but things could not be calculated that way.
Taoists eat air, and they are born to be disliked by heaven and earth. Once the timeline is extended, there will naturally be various variables.
Taoists fight for dragons, and there is no retreat. There is no such thing as living in a corner in peace and comfort.
If you dare to live in a corner and slowly develop and accumulate, heaven and earth will dare to refresh a bunch of heroes in your enemy's territory.
Of course, this refresh must also follow the basic rules. It is impossible to create a bunch of people out of thin air. The refresh mechanism of heaven and earth is reflected in newborns.
In many scriptures and myths, there are either the coming of a star god, or the coming of an evil star, or the coming of an assisting state, or the bringing of chaos to the world.
If the heaven and earth dislike someone, then at a critical moment, the opponent of that person will have a whim, making things change, or giving birth to some talented children in his territory.
After you develop for twenty years, there will be strong people on the enemy side.
Zhao Cheng naturally did not have the idea of defending only Wucheng. He wanted to unify the Southern Wilderness directly in half a year next year.
As for the various chaos derived from the rapid unification, it was nothing more than killing. He was not afraid that no one could govern the Southern Wilderness for him. After killing a group of people, with the system he created, at most three to five years, he would naturally be able to create a group of talents to govern the mountains and rivers.
Although there might not be any great talents among these people, it was enough to basically maintain the normal operation of the Southern Wilderness.
The literati class, the scholar-official class, and the nobles of this era always had a strange idea, that is, no matter who became the emperor, they would always have to use them.
So they can show their iron bones, their integrity, their arrogance, and look down on people born in the common people, even if they hold heavy troops and have vast territories, it does not prevent them from being looked down upon by those people.
This was the case when Zhao Cheng first took Wucheng. He took Wucheng with great force, and the powerful families in the city regarded him as a bandit and were not afraid of the weapons in his hands.
As for the reason, it was naturally because they thought they were irreplaceable.
Zhao Cheng was naturally not used to such things. He wanted to let all the literati in the world know that there were people who could replace them. As for the cost, it was only three to five years. He could have as many of them as he wanted.
The so-called pride and integrity were not worth mentioning in front of strength.
If you are iron-boned, I will break your bones. If you don't kneel, you will die!
In front of the steel torrent forged by artillery fire, what kind of benevolence and morality, what kind of doctrine of the mean, what kind of human relations, and what kind of blood theory are all vulnerable.
It was Zhao Cheng's plan to take Wucheng in half a year and pacify the southern wilderness in one year.
After that, he will save up for another three years, and then he will conquer the world.
And these four short years may not be enough for the Great Cang Emperor in the Divine Capital to get rid of the powerful minister Huo Guojiu.
As for offending the literati and ruining his reputation.
When he becomes the king of the world, history will naturally write whatever it wants.
If anyone dares to spread rumors and slander, then he will exterminate all nine clans and ten clans. How can there be so many strong men? !
With joy in his heart, Zhao Cheng turned his eyes and looked towards Qingzhou. At this moment, about ten miles away from the city wall, there was thick smoke. It was still clearly visible after dozens of miles, and even a faint smell of burning could be smelled.
Over there was a small open-pit coal mine discovered by the exploration team formed by Zhao Cheng not long ago.
The stock of this coal mine is not much, but it is enough for now, so Zhao Cheng directly asked people to build a camp there and moved some blacksmiths there to build a blast furnace there to smelt steel.
Guns require higher strength for steel, while artillery requires much lower strength.
Zhao Cheng is now building a furnace to smelt iron, partly for the purpose of making artillery.
Truth is always within range.
As for the other part of the reason, it is also to improve the smelting process from practice.
Zhao Cheng has already told the craftsmen some of the ideas, and the rest is a matter of slowly exploring and experimenting.
This matter will almost have results in a few months or a year.
As long as the flame temperature is reached, it would be much more convenient to mass-produce muskets, cement, and other things.
