Chapter 64 Juehua Island
As for the three hundred Divine Warriors, they have become a decorative honor guard. Their daily task is to patrol the streets and fire three cannon shots in the early morning, which can be considered a way to make use of waste.
At present, it seems that the purpose of these Divine Warriors is limited to this.
A firearm that completely eliminates the need for material things is still too advanced.
Along the coast of Dagukou, countless torches stretched out along the shore, and three hundred paper boats were gently pushed into the sea in the cold wind and night.
The area surrounding the treasure ship Dinghai stretched for hundreds of steps.
Si Chen and the others watched from the treasure ship.
They only breathed a sigh of relief when the paper boats landed safely on the sea.
"Is it really feasible to rise to power?" Xu Wenjue turned around and asked.
Even now, people still can't believe that these paper boats could sail against the wind and cross the Bohai Sea.
It's important to know that the structure of these paper boats is at most just a wooden frame with a few layers of cardboard added on top.
It's one thing if it's on an inland waterway, but on the open sea, a huge wave can sweep in, leaving who knows how much debris will be left.
Si Chen, whisk in hand, said, "If I'm not afraid of you, what are you afraid of?"
They waved command flags to the left and right and blew horns.
The long, drawn-out sound echoed between heaven and earth.
Song Yingxing and Yi Yingtiangong stood on the shore with torches, keeping watch. Upon hearing the signal, they ordered, "Put up the fire ox, the wooden figure, the fire horse, and the thunder cannon."
The strongmen stepped forward, untied the wooden oxen draped in reeds and filled with oil, and cut their ropes. The wooden figures on the wooden fire horses and thunder cannons, holding wooden spears and wearing red tassels on their heads, came to life as if the finishing touch had been added to a dragon's eyes after the craftsmen had drawn their eyes.
These enormous wooden oxen and horses, each as tall as a person, were freed from their restraints and glowed with fluorescent light. Their eyes were lively, and the wooden oxen twisted their necks and moved their bodies restlessly, as if they were alive.
The crowd slowly dispersed.
"He's alive! He's alive!"
"This is the art of the wooden ox and flowing horse."
Song Tiangong was filled with emotion.
"To imbue inanimate objects with intelligence is the secret behind the art of the wooden ox and flowing horse."
"Those who seek the Way, they only learn half of it."
"Where else can you find something like these wooden oxen, which are even capable of basic thinking?"
Everyone nodded in agreement, expressing their admiration.
The best perk of the Tiangong Academy is that this knowledge is completely open to them without any restrictions.
Unfortunately, the Heavenly Rank cultivation technique is right in front of you, but you can't even begin to learn it. That's the most frustrating thing.
The wooden ox was extremely light, leaving only a shallow mark on the sand.
Three hundred wooden oxen traveled in a group onto the paper boat.
A thousand Trojan horses followed closely behind.
As the wooden ox and horse stepped into the sea, the surface of the sea, which was mixed with ice shards, seemed to be supported, and the ox's hooves only sank into a shallow layer.
The paper boat kept sinking, but it still managed to hold its shape.
As the last wooden ox was placed on the paper boat, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
For no other reason than this.
This would be enough to break many restrictions, and ships would no longer be limited to wood, because paper boats might be more suitable for inland areas than for ocean voyages.
Everyone's hearts were burning with excitement.
"Unfortunately, these paper boats are most vulnerable to fire attacks."
"Prevention of fire is better than prevention of thieves."
"If even these restrictions could be lifted, then everything would be perfect."
The pursuit of a master craftsman is to create a flawless mechanism.
On the treasure ship, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Someone couldn't help but ask.
"Why build more to bolster your prestige?"
Si Chen: "These paper boats are worthless, but they require our skilled craftsmen to inscribe runes day and night, halting all construction in the city to serve the paper boats."
Jia Chen: "Every day that the city is closed, it costs ten thousand coins."
Paper isn't worth much, but it takes a lot of effort.
Xu Wenjue nodded.
Tianjin served as the testing ground for Sichen, where all previous currencies were completely rejected.
You can't buy anything even if you have money.
This is a condition that can only be achieved under extreme circumstances.
Time and energy are the currency here.
Xu Wenjue has already deeply experienced this.
The secrets behind this are not something that can be explained to outsiders.
Everyone only saw that these paper boats were made in three days and nights, but they did not see that the entire city of Tianjin came to a standstill during those three days.
Three hundred paper boats were steadily moored at the estuary.
Si Chen: "Dinghai, these paper boats are yours."
The Dinghai gently rocked its sails, as if in response.
A massive psychic wind howled out, sweeping across the entire harbor and tightly connecting the paper boat and the treasure ship.
These paper boats are linked together by chains.
Those big storms and waves are like a gentle breeze, not worth mentioning.
The silver-masked, black-robed paladins and nuns also boarded the treasure ship at this moment. If all goes well, they will serve as the first outposts and be stationed on Juehua Island.
After boarding the ship, the paladins tacitly threw their vengeance marks to the centaurs.
They have waited so long.
Every day felt exceptionally long.
By choosing Centaur as the enemy for the Mark of Vengeance, and engraving the vow of vengeance in his heart, his spiritual energy instantly surged tenfold.
Si Chen could clearly sense that their lifespans were passing by more than ten times faster.
Trading lifespan for power, isn't that fair?
At least, when faced with a desperate situation, there is still a chance to fight back, instead of being at the mercy of others.
One hundred vengeful paladins slowly knelt before Si Chen, "Please, Great Teacher, witness our resolve!"
Si Chen said solemnly, "Your Majesty, I will remember your oath."
The vengeful paladins slowly drew a silver blade of vengeance from their chests.
These weapons exist in the gap between the spirit world and the real world.
The truth is uncertain.
It only has a killing effect on enemies who have sworn an oath of revenge.
A cut or puncture will never heal.
Unless these paladins are already dead.
Otherwise, these wounds will haunt the enemy relentlessly until they die completely.
This is the most vicious curse, and also the most sacred Chinese revenge.
The crowd watched the ceremony in silence.
Just seeing those silver blades made my whole body ache.
The vengeful paladin nuns, knowing their place, quietly withdrew and occupied a cabin by themselves.
The White Horse Cavalry had already settled in the fourth deck.
Those magnificent and noble celestial horses awaited their summons in the spirit world, as more space needed to be made in the ship's hold to load provisions.
If the soldiers and horses are not moving, the grain and grass will go first.
For elite cavalry, this was already considered lightly equipped, even rudimentary.
There weren't even any spare warhorses.
The wooden oxen and flowing horses, originally used for logistics and supplies, were converted into weapons.
Each of the Eight Banners warriors had four horses for logistical support.
Even the coating can be used as food when necessary.
Therefore, the Eight Banners' provisions could sustain them for fourteen days.
This is a huge advantage.
Si Chen looked towards Juehua Island, waved his hand, and shouted, "Let's go!"
"Let's go and meet Wu Sangui."
"As for the Central Plains, let others fight over it for now."
Everyone clasped their hands in unison, their expressions brightening.
Si Chen gazed at the countless flickering lamps and candlelight along the coast.
There must have been informants from various factions involved.
Go ahead and fight, the fiercer the better.
If Si Chen doesn't leave and doesn't make room for them, how can these guys fight with peace of mind?
The Mandate of Heaven is not a handout, but a throne of bones built with lives.
Only through sacrifice can something be accomplished.
