Chapter 251 Daofa Mountain, Magic Base

Chapter 251 Daofa Mountain, Magic Base
A horse-drawn carriage arrived near Tanjia Town.

Coming out of the prosperous town, there is a field. The people who are digging for food in the fields are all looking at the carriage.

There was a flag with the word "Tan" written on it on the car, and the journey was smooth.

Even the gang members who were trying to collect tolls chose to give way after seeing who the carriage belonged to.

Maybe they remembered the dozen or so bandits who were executed a few days ago because they provoked Mr. Tan, or maybe they remembered the cannon on the high wall of the town.

The one driving the carriage was Fei Bao. The carriage had no carriage. There were two people sitting on it, and there was a huge box at the back. It looked a bit strenuous for two horses to pull the carriage.

We staggered all the way to the mountain.

The mountain road was a bit rugged at first, but when we came to the newly built gatehouse with the word "Tan" inscribed on it, the road behind immediately became wide and flat.

The ground was paved with huge stone bricks, making it flat enough for two or three carriages to move side by side.

There were policemen with guns guarding the door.

"Brother Feibao, didn't you say you would take us to Mr. Tan's house? Why are we here?" Chuyi was a little confused. He found that this place was still very desolate and there were several construction teams building houses.

Various raw materials were also piled up nearby.

There are many people working enthusiastically.

Not far away, a chef had built an open-air stove and was cooking. Waves of rich aroma wafted from afar.

Their noses twitched slightly, and their stomachs started to growl.

In Happy Town, the two brothers are not having an easy time.

Chuyi's ability to catch ghosts is very average. Even if there is a funeral or evil spirits in the local area, they will not find him. Some people will even travel dozens of miles to other places to ask for a wizard to come back.

Even though it seemed to Chuyi that the so-called wizard was a complete liar, he could only feel helpless and furious about it.

If Chuyi's mind is at least still on studying various props and weapons to subdue demons and monsters, then Shiwu is just a completely ordinary person.

I don't know any magic. Sometimes I help others watch their horses, and sometimes I run errands for others.

If it weren't for the kind-hearted Doctor Bian of Happy Town, and if it weren't for the fact that Fifteen was handsome and he and Doctor Bian's sister Furong were inseparable all day long, like a pair of happy enemies who had feelings for each other, this relationship allowed the two brothers to have a place to eat for free, otherwise they wouldn't even have a full meal.

In this situation, when they learned that Boss Tan from Tanjia Town actually invited them to come and work, the two brothers immediately nodded and agreed without thinking.

I am afraid that if I slow down a step, I will miss such a precious opportunity.

Fei Bao pulled the reins to slow down the carriage: "I don't know either. Boss Tan told me to bring you here directly."

After moving forward for a distance, the carriage arrived at a temporary thatched hut.

At this time, Tan Wenjie was sitting on a small wooden stool, holding a blueprint in his hand, and discussing something with the two people next to him. It was impossible to tell that he was the richest man in the area. He looked more like a... Feng Shui master.

Expelling the absurd thoughts from his mind, even though Chuyi had known that Tan Wenjie was a disciple of Maoshan, the sense of disobedience of combining the two identities of a rich man and a disciple of Maoshan was too strong.

"Just do it this way."

Although Tan Wenjie's attainments in Feng Shui are average, he is still confident in ordinary Feng Shui layout and house building, as long as he does not violate any taboos.

After the two construction team leaders beside him understood the design drawings and stepped back, Tan Wenjie turned to look at Fei Bao and the other three.

"Come here?" He nodded and greeted.

"Master Tan!" The two brothers on Chuyi bowed their heads and greeted him with eager expressions.

Meal tickets! Eat well! A lucrative future!

When looking at Tan Wenjie, it is like looking at a mountain of glittering gold.

"Chuyi, I remember you said before that you researched a cinnabar divine fire and sky thunder cannon that can subdue demons and monsters?"

"Hahaha, Master Tan, I knew you were interested in this super invincible weapon!"

I suddenly became energetic on the first day of the first lunar month.

This so-called killer weapon has a huge flaw: it is too expensive.

Cinnabar, one of the main materials for making artillery shells, is very expensive. Every time a cannon is fired, a huge amount of money is spent, which can be said to be a huge waste of money.

Even though Chuyi had studied the Cinnabar Divine Fire Sky Thunder Cannon for exorcising demons and killing monsters, he actually did not fire it very often. He had just made some progress and had to stop because of cost issues.

All the cinnabar accumulated by the ancestors of the Mayi Sect, as well as the little money left by the master, had been taken away by him.

How much money can you make from catching ghosts and reading Feng Shui? Not to mention that you can’t even get a Feng Shui job on the first day of the New Year.

If there are angel investors who are optimistic about him at this time, Chuyi has absolute confidence that he can truly tap the power of this Divine Fire Thunder Cannon.

And he thinks Tan Wenjie is the most suitable angel investor.

He believed that Tan Wenjie must be interested, otherwise he would not have asked Fei Bao to bring the cannon with him.

"The gun is here!"

The two brothers carefully lifted the Divine Fire Sky Thunder Cannon down from the carriage and placed it on the open space in front of Tan Wenjie.

Cannons are military weapons that can be bought with money, but they are not something that can be obtained by people like Chuyi who have no food to eat.

So on Chuyi, he used the scrap iron he collected and asked a blacksmith to help him make a cannon barrel.

Because they had no knowledge of the design of military weapons, including the blacksmith who helped Chuyi build the barrel had only seen a cannon from a distance, the Divine Fire and Thunder Cannon they built looked a bit weird.

In front is a thickened iron cylinder full of cracks. It can be seen that the blacksmith's craftsmanship is not very good. It is estimated that he can only make farm tools and kitchen knives at most.

If you really put a shell in there, it will 100% explode.

The Tianlei Cannon does not use gunpowder. Instead, it uses a specially treated ramie rope, which was commonly used in ancient crossbows.

So it’s better to say that this is a crossbow with a cannon barrel than a cannon.

It is not false that in the movie, Chuyi successfully used this divine fire thunder cannon to destroy the Ksitigarbha ghost king.

There are not many masters in the spiritual world who can defeat Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. Tan Wenjie will not deny Chuyi's research ability.

Both Ghost Hunters 1 and 2 produced research talents.

Tan Wenjie asked: "Can you test fire it once so I can see?"

"Yes! Of course! But this cannon requires special shells."

"Tell Fei Bao about the material requirements and ask him to prepare them."

What Tan Wenjie valued was Chuyi's research and development capabilities. However, in his opinion, it was a complete waste of Chuyi's talent to make a thunder cannon. You didn't need to look at it much to see that the range of this cannon was very short. Not only was it cumbersome to use, but its accuracy was also questionable.

Of course there is potential for further research and development, it mainly depends on whether Tan Wenjie is willing to invest.

Fei Bao quickly delivered the list of materials to Tan Wenjie.

Chuyi was not worried that Tan Wenjie would steal the secret recipe. He knew very well that only Tan Wenjie would invest money if he was interested.

Only if someone spends money can I have the opportunity to continue studying my dream in the first grade of junior high school.

"Three pounds of cinnabar?"

It is true that the sound of a cannon is worth a fortune.

The cost of one shell is enough to feed and clothe an average family of three for a year.

This is despite the fact that we already have mature technology for making artillery shells.

If we consider the research costs that Chuyi spent from nothing to something, it seems understandable that he could not have enough food to eat.

Cinnabar can ward off evil spirits to a certain extent, but it can only kill ghosts if it is used correctly, such as when used to draw talismans. Normally, cinnabar is just a traditional Chinese medicine.

It seems that Chuyi’s idea of ​​making shells is to win by quantity, which coincides with Tan Wenjie’s work style.

This also shows the research talent of the first grade.

You can't kill ghosts just by rolling cinnabar into a ball; you need to have the right proportions and use some Taoist magic to turn the materials into a shell.

It is no exaggeration to say that Chuyi is an ammunition expert in the magic version. Talented, Mr. Tan likes it.

The three of them got busy. Chuyi and Shiwu debugged the cannon, while Feibao prepared the materials. It just so happened that many of the materials were already available here.

"It seems that the senior brothers have started eating." Fifteen helped Chuyi and at the same time looked stealthily in the direction of the construction team.

A breeze blew over, carrying with it the aroma of food.

The aroma of meat wafts into my nose and my stomach growls.

“I have to find a way to go over and try it.” Chuyi rubbed his stomach.

Eating for free is a science.

However, before he and Fifteen had time to move, they saw Fei Bao coming over with a food box.

"If you don't mind, let's eat together."

"I don't mind, I don't mind. How could I mind? Hahaha."

The two rubbed their hands and helped Feibao take the food box. Chuyi opened the lid, while Shiwu wiped the chair beside him with his sleeve and asked Feibao to sit down.

"Brother Feibao, your lunch is so rich."

"My fiancée helped prepare it. She helps cook over there. The food on this side of the mountain is contracted by her restaurant."

Or I should add that one of the owners of Zhu's Restaurant has become Mr. Tan.

It took Mr. Zhu a long time to ask Fei Bao, his "good son-in-law", for him to do this.

Not everyone can follow Mr. Tan to do business, especially since the Tan family’s restaurant is doing so well. If his business is good, others will naturally have no business. If you don’t want to starve to death, you have to join them.

For this reason, Fei Bao stood up straight in front of his father-in-law and felt proud.

It is not easy to get your father-in-law to bend down for you.

The two brothers looked at each other with envy.

Fei Bao felt their envious gazes, and didn't rush to eat, so he decided to say a few words.

Really good, the meat is really delicious.

"Leave one piece for me!"

"Hey, hey, I want to eat!"

Fei Bao: “…”

The envy the two just expressed was probably just a formality, probably intended to make themselves relax their guard.

Eating together brought them closer.

Now Chuyi and Shiwu are only thinking about making a big splash, hoping that they can get on the good side of Tan Wenjie and never have to worry about food and drink in the future.

If I can't get close to someone, I'll have to go back to the old days of having no food to eat.

After eating and drinking, the two brothers worked hard and quickly made the shells.

This process was not hidden, and there was no fear of being peeped at by Tan Wenjie. It can be said that she was sincere. Tan Wenjie did not come over to look, leaving enough privacy for the two.

What's the point of him peeking at a semi-finished product? Mr. Tan always uses overt tactics to buy what he wants.

Try not to steal if you can. Cause and effect are cyclical, and if you steal something, it might cause more trouble. He believes in transactions, even though the other party may not be willing to do so.

"Crimson Divine Fire Sky Thunder Cannon to Defeat Demons and Monsters! Fire!"

Although he said he was going to fire, Chuyi was pulling the hemp rope backwards, and the fat on his face was shaking from the effort.

The barrel has been loaded with shells in advance.

As the first day of the new year let go.

With a loud "boom", the firing was successful.

A ball of divine fire exploded, rushing out from the muzzle and spreading in a fan-shaped area, filling a distance of about seven steps in front.

Fifteen was hit on half of his body because he accidentally dodged, and half of him turned red.

"Cough cough!" Fifteen coughed and slapped his body.

"The effect this time is very good, hahahaha!" Chuyi said confidently.

Others could not see the key to the problem, but Tan Wenjie saw it clearly. There was a strong yang fire magic power bursting out from the muzzle of the cannon, and the power was no less than the power of the palm thunder he used several times before the draw. Ordinary monsters would be close to death if they were hit by a cannon.

The key point is that this cannon is not like the palm bomb which can only be used by Tan Wenjie himself, but can be used by anyone and has no obvious effect on people.

"The range is not far enough, the power is too diffuse, and there is no concentration."

Tan Wenjie walked around the cannon, and Chuyi's expression slowly changed from surprise to silence.

It can be heard that Mr. Tan does not have a high opinion of this cannon.

However, Tan Wenjie's next words made Chuyi turn sadness into joy: "You should see what a real cannon looks like, so that the power of the Tianlei Cannon you make can be maximized."

"Mr. Tan, what do you mean?" Chuyi tried hard to open his eyes wide.

Tan Wenjie looked doubtfully for a look to meet Chuyi's squinting eyes, but unfortunately he didn't find one.

"Stay and help me. I'll give you money to support your research. As long as you can come up with new results that satisfy me within the time I set, I won't stop your research project."

"Yes, of course, no problem for me!" Chuyi nodded quickly.

Finally got the chance to turn things around!

Fifteen on the side also looked at Tan Wenjie eagerly.

"Master Tan, look at my junior brother..."

Just now, Fifteen didn't play any role at all and he doesn't know any magic, so Tan Wenjie will definitely not give him the treatment of a researcher.

He is rich and not stupid.

Tan Wenjie looked at "Zhan Zhao".

Both brothers are unreliable, but they are far inferior to the group of scumbags abandoned by Uncle Jiu. They are still within the range of salvation. After all, they can deal with the monsters without anyone to help them, which proves that they are very reliable.

"This mountain will be my research base in the future. If you are interested, you can help out here, either patrolling or guarding. I am in great need of manpower here, especially people who are good at martial arts."

"Yes! I do!" Fifteen nodded hurriedly, fearing that Tan Wenjie would go back on his word.

After accepting the two fellow apprentices, Tan Wenjie was in a good mood.

"Then help me study the first one first. I hope to make better use of it." Tan Wenjie took out his thunder pattern cymbals.

Chuyi took the thunder-patterned cymbals, held them with both hands and touched them lightly.

Thunderous sounds and ripples flew out.

Fifteen and Feibao, who were standing beside him, suddenly twitched, their hair stood up, their expressions became exaggerated, and they couldn't control their saliva and tears.

Even Chuyi, who was holding the cymbals, had a similar reaction. His body trembled and his hair stood on end.

Only Tan Wenjie had a blank expression, because his lightning resistance was enough to ignore this little damage.

"This is a real heavenly thunder weapon!" Chu Yi was so amazed that he held the thunder-patterned cymbal as if it were a treasure. "Master Tan, please rest assured. I will study it carefully!"

Tan Wenjie just nodded and said: "If you find any talents or want to teach apprentices in the future, you can recruit them, but I need to assess the personnel."

Recruiting Chuyi to develop various weapons and magic tools for him is only the first step. In the future, the entire mountain will be developed into different areas with different functions.

The magical weapon research department, the corpse and ghost raising department, the formation construction department, etc. will all be put on the agenda.

This is a Taoist mountain belonging to him, a magic base!
