Xiqi.

Xibo Hou Jichang stood in the square in front of the palace, watching the golden light of merit in the sky. When a gust of wind blew, all of them rushed towards Chaoge City, and knew that these golden lights of merit belonged to King Zhou again.

Fortunately, this time I was self-aware, and did not open my arms and waited for the arrival of the golden light of merit.

It was the golden light of merit everywhere, and I could see it in Xiqi. How many years has King Zhou's national fortune increased?

Before Ji Chang could take out his turtle shell to tell fortunes, a voice rang next to him.

"The national fortune of the Shang Dynasty increased by another fifty years, with a total of 127 years of national fortune."

Ji Chang turned around and saw Taoist Jie Yin and Taoist Zhunti.

These two saints don’t know what’s going on. They are two people walking together wherever they go. Could it be that someone will teach them a lesson while they are alone?

Ji Chang thought this in his heart, and he was not worried that the two saints would peek at his mind. After all, he was also protected by the princes and the same human power.

"The saint is here, please accept a worship of Ji Chang."

Hearing this sentence, he saw Ji Chang really worshipping him and the two of them, and smiled on his face.

It turns out that Ji Chang, who is destined to rebel, has begun to directly violate King Zhou's orders.

"Mr. Xibo asked me to get up."

Taoist Zhunti personally reached out to help Ji Chang up with an extremely enthusiastic attitude.

Although the two of them have become saints, humanity is too strong and there is a tendency to become stronger and stronger. If Western religions want to develop, it is impossible to leave the belief of the human race, nor can it not accept the human race as its disciple.

What Wu Yan said as the King of Humans has a great impact on the two of them, not only in the future, but has now had a substantial impact.

In this case, either destroy the human race and recreate humans, or destroy King Zhou, allowing the new king to believe in Western religion.

Obviously, they can only choose the latter method.

Although this was their plan, the situation was completely different. They just wanted to play chess before, but now they were inexplicably beaten into chess pieces by Wu Yan's mouth, and they needed to participate more with all their heart and strength.

It can even be said to be a dimensional reduction attack.

"In Xiqi, my brother and I come to help you."

Zhunti Taoist did not mention Wu Yan's orders, and Xibo Hou Jichang did not mention it either. Both sides expressed their own attitude, just as if they had never heard what Wu Yan said.

"I would like to ask two saints to point out a way for me, Xiqi."

Ji Chang bows again.

The result of his fortune-telling before was that this time he fought against Quanrong, and both Bo Yikao and Ji Fa would have to die, but it might not have been killed while fighting Quanrong, or it might have been that he could not be defeated and was executed by Wu Yan as the king of humans.

Moreover, he could not count the hope of life at all, and it was the result of ten deaths without life.

Apart from the saint, he could never think of any way to save his family.

“There is a way to live.”

While speaking out, he reached out to Ji Chang's forehead and a piece of knowledge came into Ji Chang's mind.

"This is……"

Ji Chang was stunned.

He is not unfamiliar with this feeling. The two saints from the Western religion used similar methods to teach him the technology of making copper coins, including the technology of smelting copperware.

But this piece of knowledge made him feel incredible, and he knew it but not the reason.

"This is gunpowder."

The Taoist in Zhiting said, "A special item we discovered when we were refining the alchemy. If used properly, it should have infinite power."

"Gunpowder?" Ji Chang felt that the name was a bit strange, because the knowledge in his mind showed that this thing was definitely not a drug, but a powerful weapon that could kill people and kill people.

"Yes, gunpowder." Zhunti Taoist added: "Using fire as medicine should be able to govern the country and pacify the world."

Ji Chang couldn't imagine how this thing governs the country and pacify the world, because his imagination was limited and he only knew that according to the recipe in his mind, he could create magic weapons that could make people's power comparable to the great power of nature.

But what he needs most now is not this, so he asked, "Two saints, I wonder if this gunpowder can allow me to obtain the golden light of merit?"

"Of course," said the Taoist in the Taoist swearingly: "This thing should have appeared two thousand years later. It has a far-reaching impact and is the fundamental reason why the human race can truly prosper. If it is born from you, you will naturally be able to obtain a large amount of golden light of merit."

It was still one thousand BC, and the invention of black gunpowder was around 900 AD, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was two thousand years.

It can even be said that Taoist Shi Yin said that he was less, because he brought out the most perfect black gunpowder formula. As for why he didn't use yellow gunpowder, it was because Ji Chang couldn't make it even after giving the technology. Moreover, the biggest difference between the two is not in terms of power, but in terms of stability.

Black gunpowder is flammable and explosive, while yellow gunpowder is relatively stable, and even open flames cannot directly detonate it.

But for this era, there is no need for yellow gunpowder, let alone TNT, it is really impossible to create it unless the saint takes action himself, or like Wu Yan, there are a group of immortals such as Duobao Taoist and others around him.

In theory, no one will question the words of the saint.

But when Ji Chang thought of the copper coins before, he still had a certain skepticism.

Taoist Jie Yin and Taoist Junti also felt this. Thinking that the copper coins did not bring Ji Chang the golden light of merit, they suddenly became a little unconfident.

But when I think of the impact of gunpowder on the human race, I feel that it is unlikely to make mistakes.

"Don't worry, Marquis of Xibo." said the Taoist Zhunti: "You can make gunpowder yourself, don't worry about failure, or any danger, I will protect you. When the gunpowder is successfully manufactured and those weapons that use gunpowder are successfully manufactured, you will definitely win in the battle against the Quanrong."

The Taoist Jie Yin also said: "Yes, even if you directly attack Chaoge City, you will have a 90% chance of winning."

Seeing the two saints' attitudes, Ji Chang also increased his confidence, but he still asked curiously: "I don't know why the chance of winning is lost?"

Because the Tongtian Sect Master is too ruthless and too capable to fight.

Taoist Zhiyin and Taoist Zhijun did not answer, but smiled at the same time and disappeared in front of Ji Chang.

Ji Chang was stunned for a moment, then bowed to the air, and hurriedly called out his two most valued sons.

Bo Yikao and Ji Fa.

I found relevant craftsmen and found a barren mountain, and started to make gunpowder.

"You two must remember this recipe."

Ji Chang told his two sons about the recipe without hesitation. Although the craftsmen also knew about it, these craftsmen were equivalent to slaves from Xiqi, and their life and death were in their control. They had no freedom at all, so they were not worried about leaking secrets.

If these craftsmen die, new craftsmen will appear.

In a slave country, even Xibo Hou Jichang, who loves the people as much as his son, actually doesn't care much about human life.

This is a matter of concept.

Perhaps because of the secret protection of the saint, the manufacturing process of gunpowder was very smooth, and even if there were many irregularities in the operation, there was no explosion.

After the first batch of black gunpowder was made, weapons using black gunpowder were also successfully made.

In terms of the saint's ability, it is not difficult to calculate these things. For them, this is a path in itself.

Even the wrong way is not worth mentioning at all.

Because of the smelting method of copper ware, Xiqi's industrial capacity in this area has also been greatly improved during the smelting of copper coins.

So, in just over a month, the world's first cannon was built.

On the barren mountain, shells were filled into the cannon, and a slave held a torch and lit the lead.

There was a rumbling sound.

When a loud thunder sounded like thunder, the hillside hundreds of meters away was directly blown up, and all the sparse trees on it were broken.

The power of Ji Chang and his son were stunned, as well as the craftsmen and slaves.

"Immediately, order fifty artillery pieces to create 1,000 shells, and we will go and fight Quanrong."

Ji Chang's words made Ji Fa frown.

"Father, if we used artillery when we fought against the Quanrong, then Chaoge City would definitely let us offer the formula of gunpowder. How should we deal with it at that time?"

This is indeed a problem.

During the war, there are too many people and the appearance of artillery cannot be completely kept confidential.

Chaoge City must have many spies in Xiqi.

"No need to worry." Ji Chang was prepared for this issue and said: "I have ordered some Qi training men to be recruited. At that time, I will let them use these artillery, claiming that they are using Taoist techniques to completely separate the artillery from ordinary soldiers, so there is no need to worry about leaking secrets."

Qi training is not so easy to recruit. A capable person is unwilling to participate in the mundane world and does not want to be involved in too much cause and effect to delay his own practice.

Those who are not capable, such as those Qi training men who sold paper before, do not have the ability to value Xibohou.

But now it’s different. What Xibo Hou needs is their identity as a Qi training man, not their ability.

"But..." Ji Fa asked again: "If those Qi training men have seen the secrets of gunpowder and artillery, then they will turn to Chaoge, or use this secret to find other princes, we will not be able to stop them."

Compared to Bo Yikao who said nothing, although Ji Fa is younger, he has to consider the issues more comprehensively.

Ji Chang also discovered this, and after pondering for a moment, he said, "No need to worry, I have my own opinions."

This was the task of keeping a secret to the two saints.

In Ji Chang's opinion, if those Qi training men really want to betray Xiqi, the saints will naturally take action to solve the problem directly.

Thinking of this, he felt that the two saints behind him were a little bad.

In contrast, the saint behind Wu Yan, the leader of Tongtian, directly sent many immortals of the Jie Sect to Chaoge City, and blatantly helped the Shang Dynasty.
