Chapter 194 I believe you have the strength. Ke Han saw that the tip of the sword was about to touch Lao Tao's chest. In desperation, he couldn't help shouting: "Stop! We are here on Master Huairou's sincere invitation to ride on his bamboo raft.
of!"
The young man holding the sword was startled, picked up Lao Tao's front, and asked doubtfully: "Invitation? Invite you here? Or in the middle of the night? Who are you fooling? Who doesn't know that you are Tatar spies? What tricks are you doing?
, I can see much more! Hum hum, you two are waiting to do the 60th and 61st 'Takeshita'!"
After the young man finished speaking, he waved the long sword again. At the same time, the young man who had just fought with Ke Han and then ran to fire the bamboo sword went back to the front of the bamboo forest and pulled up two trees again.
The force strings between the bamboos come
Ke Han had no choice but to keep his luck secretly, stretched out his right hand, and calmly prepared his "Shadowless Orchid Finger"
When I was nervous, I heard a shout floating in the air: "Shao Chong! Stop!"
The sword tip that was about to hit his chest pulled out again. The stunned Lao Taojiu also woke up completely. He collapsed to the ground with a "pop". The heroic demeanor of a few years ago can no longer be seen. Lao Tao is really old.
, he told himself, now is the world of young people!
"Master!" Ke Han stopped his gesture excitedly and shouted to the old man who came by, "I finally found you!"
"Who are you?" the old man said sternly, "Our 'Shunfeng Island' never welcomes uninvited guests. You can go wherever you come from!"
"It's hard to say goodbye when we meet. The east wind is powerless and the flowers are withered; the spring silkworms will die when their threads are gone, and the wax torches will turn to ashes before their tears dry up! The master led the army, dedicated his life, and died. It's a pity that the disciples he brought out didn't have eyes.
That’s understandable, but it’s so sad that even the master himself is confused! Anyway, since we’re not welcome here, we’d better leave!”
"Let's go?" The old man raised his head and smiled and said, "Do you think our 'Shunfeng Island' is a playground? You can come and leave whenever you want? You are too innocent and cute! You haven't told me who you are yet, so you have to leave.
?Are you sure you can leave?"
"Isn't your bamboo raft prepared for me, Shi Ziheng? Then you can only blame me for being too affectionate!" Ke Han introduced himself nonchalantly, then shrugged and walked towards Lao Tao who was lying on the ground.
The two young men unexpectedly did not stop them and each took a step back.
At this time, the Huairu Taoist priest in a nightgown rubbed his sleepy eyes and shook his head. Then he was startled as if he were waking up from a dream. He took a closer look at Ke who was holding Lao Tao's head.
Han asked tentatively with no certainty: "Are you Shi Ziheng, the magistrate of Huai County? The leader of Ma Changfa who can make 'Shadowless Orchid Finger'?"
"Unexpectedly, Master Huairou would also have doubts?" Ke Han asked dissatisfiedly, "Our former Dashun city-defending hero, Old Uncle Tao, and I almost became the ghosts of your proud disciple. We took the 'Bamboo Under the Deng'
The bamboo rafts tied up by you, um, do you still have doubts and are not sure? Also, Shui Gen, the deputy general guarding the border in the Western Region, said that they have provided you with a lot of supplies? Don't worry, it's as you wish, um
I will pay the fees in full..."
Ke Han wanted to say something, but was stopped by Huairou. He said: "Are you here? Recently, people have been coming to harass me. Haha, I'm a little nervous. I have little rest and obviously don't have enough energy! Fortunately, we thought of using this bamboo.
The sword guards the checkpoint on three sides. Otherwise, the safety here will really become a problem. If you don't come again, I will consider giving up! That unlucky Shui Gen is actually afraid of ghosts? I gave it a try, and he
I was so frightened that I would never come again.”
Ke Han asked with a smile: "Master, why are you testing a lieutenant like this? Are you not afraid that you will be isolated and helpless from now on?"
"Now that we have Shi Ziheng, what more general and deputy general do we need? If you don't come, I would rather give up!" Huairou approached Ke Han, stared at him and Lao Tao, then changed the subject and said, "However,
I have confidence! You came back because you are Shi Ziheng!"
Ke Han felt comfortable being photographed by this old Taoist. He was not a grudge-bearing person either. When the clouds cleared and the moon was bright, he used the moonlight to stare into Master Huairou's eyes and said without any fuss: "Let your beloved disciple
Help me and carry Old Man Tao to your camp!"
Shao Chong, who was standing nearby, smiled sheepishly and said apologetically to Ke Han: "I'm sorry, I really can't imagine that you would come here in the dead of night."
Master Huairou nodded with satisfaction and praised: "If you know your mistakes, you should correct them. You are still a good boy!"
Ke Han said to Shao Chong expressionlessly: "I won't make it easy for you! Take us around the island later to have a look. Let us get familiar with the terrain here first!"
Seeing Ke Han so happy, Shao Chong and the young man who fired the bamboo sword also looked at each other and smiled, and then responded to Ke Han cheerfully, saying: "I am willing to serve you!"
However, Taoist Priest Huairou stopped the two teenagers with a smile and said distressedly: "The children don't get enough rest, so I'd better let me accompany Master Shi around! Later, you will know that we are getting a big deal, Master Shi!"
"Then, it couldn't be better!" Ke Han looked at everything in front of him excitedly. Next to Shunfeng Island, there was a vast mist, the wind was gentle and the night was quiet. At this moment, Ke Han was completely intoxicated. In his heart, a magnificent picture
The picture scroll was slowly and clearly outlined. There was a world under his control, and his world was powerful!
Arriving at the campsite of Taoist Master Dehuaiju, Ke Han was shocked. In a cave half-naked in the night sky, there were steel-making furnaces, shovels, iron picks, and hoes neatly placed, and on the surrounding rock wall of the ancient mining cave.
There are also traces of iron axes and awls left behind.
This is simply a natural large exhibition hall!
"Humanity's observation and description of geological phenomena and understanding of rocks and minerals can be traced back to ancient times. In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in ancient times, certain chapters in the "Book of Mountains and Seas" and "Guanzi" are humankind's understanding of rocks and minerals.
The earliest summary, and summarized some mineral distribution rules and mineral prospecting signs from the discovered mineral areas." Looking at Ke Han, who stood stunned, Master Huairou continued with a smile, ""Guanzi? Number of Places" records: Five famous mountains in the world
One thousand two hundred and seventy, four hundred and sixty-seven out of the mountain of copper, nine out of three thousand six hundred out of the mountain of iron. As far as this is concerned, in ancient times, we had a relatively clear understanding of the formation of metal minerals. It is precisely this small
Island, haha, the treasure island I call 'Shunfeng Island' is one of the mountains rich in iron ore!"
After listening to Master Huairou's explanation, Ke Han also combined his own knowledge, history and Internet introduction, and added with great interest: "From the above, people in ancient my country had a certain level of understanding of geology and a lot of experience. In summary, it still has certain geological prospecting value, but many experiences and understandings have not developed to the height of later geological science. From the 18th century onwards, both in terms of geological understanding and application, it seems to lag behind Europe.
In the late 19th century, China's government-run and civilian industries further developed and expanded, which increased steel consumption. Later, the development of the mining and metallurgical industry required geological surveys and prospecting work. But we did not have our own professional geologists at that time, so we had to
It was not until after the Revolution of 1911 that foreign miners were hired to conduct prospecting. The first batch of geologists trained by China began geological and mineral survey work in the country. The first iron ore areas where geological surveys were conducted included Longyan in Hebei, Jingxing and Echeng in Hubei.
This mine may be the earliest iron ore deposit investigated by China’s own geologists..."
Of course Master Huairou doesn’t know anything about the 19th century or the Revolution of 1911! He felt a little dizzy after listening to it.
Ke Han knew that he couldn't hold back his words and actually said something that was incomprehensible. He deliberately patted his arm and said, "There are mosquitoes here? Oh, the bites are so uncomfortable!"
"Who says it's not? Haha, you will get used to it gradually!" Huairou looked at Ke Han and smiled lightly, "The two major problems we face now are flies during the day and mosquitoes at night, but Qian
Don’t be discouraged! We usually have to smoke out those big and fat mosquitoes before we can calm down, otherwise, we won’t be able to have a stable dinner! The method is actually very simple, just pick pepper grass and dry it half-dried.
When waiting for the evening, first use hay to ignite it, and then put half-dried chili grass to make it only emit spicy smoke without burning, which is used to drive away mosquitoes. In addition, it is made of fine linen cloth.
Mosquito nets can also be used to prevent mosquitoes. You can also smoke mugwort. Cut some mugwort and dry it in the sun and twist it into ropes. After lighting it, white eyes will appear and the mosquitoes will be smoked away."
Ke Han kept nodding, indicating that he had indeed learned a lot. He curiously asked Taoist Huairou: "Master, since we left Huai County, we have been traveling around the world. How did you come to think of coming to this place?"
Huairou turned around and replied: "In order to find the medicine I need to make pills, I took my disciples Shao Chong and Xiang Hua around. When I came to the small town of Xiliang, someone told me with a smile, Master
, looking for the true scriptures for cultivating immortals? I said yes, go to the small island, there is a big cauldron there, I heard that even iron can be melted into water by it, it is a treasure, it will definitely be of great help to the master's alchemy.
Help! I just thought it was a joke, didn’t take it seriously, and forgot about it within two days.”
"Then, why did you come here later?" Ke Han was really impatient and asked.
"By chance, purely by chance, I still remember that it was a drizzly evening. My disciples and I were caught in the rain in an empty place with no shops or homes anywhere. I was worried when a few stout men came from the opposite side.
The man, when he passed in front of us, deliberately collided with Shao, and then came up in a swarm, pointing the machete at the three of us, and ordered us to hand over all valuable things." At this point, Huairou smiled and said with pity.
, "It's a pity that a bunch of big men came to rob passers-by with their brute strength? They deserved to get into trouble. I wasn't prepared to get into trouble, but before I could react, Shao Chong suddenly raised his hand holding the sword hilt.
When I got up, I saw a guy's wrist holding the machete fell off completely, and at the same time, there was a scream."
"That man's hand was cut off?" Ke Han said in surprise, "Shao Chong's attack was so ruthless that he didn't leave any room?"
"Do you know who those people are?" Huairou said expressionlessly, "They are the Xinu Tatars who kill without blinking an eye. They are miners hired by the owner of this iron mine. Although they are all hard laborers,
They are very barbaric without any love! Because after the war, mining here can no longer continue, and the ownership of this place is really problematic. Therefore, the owners of the Xinu mine donated money and fled, leaving only unknown people behind.
When these guys inside learned that the mine owner had escaped, they became furious and chased them all the way. They chased and killed the mine owner on our territory in Dashun, close to the wildebeest, and it was even more horrific.
Yes, before, those guys raped a very young daughter of the mine owner in front of the mine owner... We later learned about these things when the people were resting on the wildebeest, and then we
After returning, I got confirmation from Shui Gen, the deputy general of the city guard in the Western Regions, that the hill on the other side is indeed an iron mine. The reason why I came here is because I feel that it is a pity to waste a treasure land, even though it is a valuable mine.
Why don't we work hard to win over a place where ownership is controversial? When I set foot on this treasure island, judging from the knowledge I know, this is actually our Dashun territory, and no one else should be allowed to trample on it.
Needless to say, we still have such rich resources to exploit! So, I will stay here to guard it for you!"
"Guarding for me? That's a nice thing to say! So, you told me via pigeon message? Let me take an adventure with you in a controversial place?" Ke Han was happy in his heart, but deliberately sullen, pointing to the pair next to him
Garbage, growled, "Look, this place has become a wilderness cemetery, and almost all the mining equipment has been smashed, and everything has to be replaced! Don't you think this is very laborious?
?"
"I believe you have this strength!" Huairou looked into Ke Han's eyes and said, "Because, I saw a glimmer of light in your eyes. It was joy, not greed. I can see that you have fallen in love with this place. If I
If I guess correctly, you have already started taking action. Are you interested in telling me what you have experienced during this period? Also, your 'invisible orchid finger', haha, in short, everything about you is so fascinating."
"What is the reward for guarding a place for me that you think is a treasure land? Haha, why do I always suspect that there is something wrong with your starting point?" Ke Han smiled.
"I just like to deal with smart people!" Huairou also smiled without concealment, patted Ke Han on the shoulder and said, "I only need a good sharp sword and a good alchemy cauldron!"
After saying this, the two hands held each other tightly
Ke Han nodded and said, "Okay, then you can help me guard this island. We will succeed!"
