Chapter 22: Fragments of the Ink Sutra
Lu Yao sent Ding Yan away and stole the fun alone. There is no way, there is no common language with cultural people.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deposed the hundred schools of thought and respected the national policy of Confucianism. Pangu was very considerate and transplanted into the game. The literati have a very high status in the game. On the contrary, non-literati, even high-level talents with a skill, do not have much status in the NPC forces.
However, in the eyes of players, this kind of high-level talent is much more precious than literati.
The Three Kingdoms period was a time of chaos. War has been a part of this history. With the addition of this group of players, wars became more frequent. In addition to various arms and famous generals, the factors that determine the outcome of a war are all kinds of weapons and equipment. And there is only one source for such props, the blacksmith shop and the workshop.
Blacksmiths produce weapons. The workshop produces equipment and siege equipment. One is indispensable. The combination of the two is the main theme of war, which can greatly reduce the casualty rate of non-commissioned soldiers.
Now an agreement has been reached with Mojia Village. The blacksmith shop is ready to work. Iron ore, Mojia Village took the initiative to prospect for Xanadu Village. The workshop of the future is also ready now, and as soon as the territory is promoted to that level, it can start work immediately. And all this is just for the children of Mojia Village to come to the territory to study. How to think about this deal, how cost-effective.
Lu Yao was overjoyed, and his attention shifted to the drawing that Ding Yan had placed on the table. At this glance, he jumped to his feet, and his eyes were wide open. He couldn't believe that such a treasure could fall into his hands so easily.
Fragments of the Book of Ink: Fragments of important texts of the Mohist family, which record a small number of drawings for the construction of siege equipment, which require high-level craftsmen to browse and read.
"It turns out that the Mo family is this Mo family." Lu Yao was stunned and immediately put the fragment of the Ink Sutra into his backpack. The backpack is a player's personal item, and it will not be dropped when you die.
In his previous life, Lu Yao knew about this treasure. At that time, the so-called Four Wonder Books were circulating on the forum. Taiping Essentials, Sun Tzu's Art of War, Qing Bao Shu, and the Book of Ink.
Taiping Essentials belongs to the comprehensive category, which includes the necessary attributes of the three types of players: military generals, formations and troops. Sun Tzu's Law of Soldiers specializes in formations, which records a variety of powerful odd formations. The green capsule book specializes in military generals, and it is also a military general with single-minded attributes. It's like some kind of life healing technique, or something like a heaven return technique. Although there is no offensive general, it is highly regarded by players.
There are many consequences caused by frequent wars, such as economic damage, etc., and the most important thing is the casualties of soldiers. Healing generals have always been sought after by players. There is no other reason, generals such as life healing can heal injuries, and generals such as Huitian can resurrect fallen soldiers. Although it is impossible to resurrect all the fallen soldiers, and soldiers who die within a certain time limit can be resurrected, but the death rate has been greatly reduced. From another point of view, it is to improve the strength of the player. Anyone who has this kind of military strategy is the target of all forces.
The Book of Ink is known as a treasure book of war, which records a variety of siege equipment. Ladder? Rushing the car? Catapults? These are mass goods, and they can't be put on the table. The Ink Scripture records all kinds of powerful siege equipment. It can be said that in the ancient environment, no one dared to provoke the forces with the Ink Sutra.
It can be praised by players as a war book, and the power of the Ink Book is self-evident. Lu Yao had only heard of the Ink Sutra in his previous life, but he had never heard of the existence of the fragments of the Ink Sutra. Now that I think about it, most of them have been concealed by various forces.
Getting the fragments of the Ink Sutra, Lu Yao is full of hope for the future. With the siege equipment mentioned on the fragments, there is no problem at all in protecting oneself. Reach out and chop your hands, stretch out your feet and chop your feet, and put your head out...... Huh, decapitation.
However, the main question is whether you can stick to the territory and get high-level craftsmen.
Lu Yao's eyes were fixed on Mojia Village again. In the next few days, he ran to Mojia Village every day under the banner of trade. The hard work paid off, and it really allowed him to come up with a lot of information.
"Back then, the ancestors of my Mo family went to sea to escape the war in the Central Plains, and they didn't want to be shipwrecked on the way. The ancestors were lucky enough to live here, and it was more than a hundred years in a flash. "Don't ask, sip the tea, and enter the mode of thinking about the year.
"Fleeing war more than a hundred years ago?" Lu Yao listened casually to Mo Wen's talk about the ancients, and secretly smacked his tongue. Calculating the time, it is probably the last year of Wang Mang's Great New Dynasty, and there has been no civil strife in the Eastern Han Dynasty since then. Thousands of miles away from the Central Plains to go to sea, with only this perseverance, I am afraid that only the children of the Mo family who pay attention to their own practice have this ability.
"Alas, it's a pity that he was killed on the way, and the ancestor escaped death alone. There is only one fragment of the Book of Ink left...... Alas. Mo Wen shook his head, his regret overflowing.
Lu Yao knew that the drama was coming, and hurriedly asked, "What about the other ink scripture fragments?" ”
Mo Wen shook his head and said: "The Book of Ink is a strange book, and I will look for someone who is destined." I am afraid that the rest of the fragments have fallen into the hands of outsiders. If you can see the whole book, you will be blinded by old decay and death. ”
"Ding, congratulations on triggering the plot quest Mojia Village Annexation."
Lu Yao's eyelids jumped when he saw the system message come out. "Three Kingdoms" is not a traditional online game, and it is okay to treat it as a real world. The mission system in traditional online games also exists here, but it is very rare. If you want to receive a task, you have to meet certain harsh conditions.
After thinking about it carefully, Lu Yao was relieved. It is not difficult to trigger the conditions of Mojia Village, first of all, both parties need to be familiar with each other. Secondly, it is necessary to provide opportunities for children in Mojia Village to go to school. Now it seems so simple. In fact, who would have thought that the descendants of the Mo family would pursue Confucianism in order for future generations to be able to read. If it weren't for Ding Yan's ability to argue, a hundred players would have to kneel when they came over. Doesn't take the usual path, and this condition is so harsh that no one else.
Lu Yao shook his head and took the time to glance at the task prompt. The task prompt is not complicated, just two points. One is to look for other ink scripture fragments. The second is to synthesize the fragments of the Ink Sutra into the original Ink Sutra. The reward for the task is the attachment of Mojia Village.
The task is hard. According to Mo Wen's account, the ancestor of the Mo family did not go to sea alone by boat, there were other people. Lu Yao estimated that most of them were the descendants of the Mo family who struggled to survive after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deposed the hundred schools. These descendants of the Mohists each received a portion of the fragments of the Mojing.
It's not hard to see why. During the Three Kingdoms period, it was very difficult to go to sea, and you could be buried in the sea at any time. In order to ensure that the ink scripture can be preserved in the world, the descendants of the Mo family are collected separately, which can greatly avoid the loss of the original. It's a pity that the descendants of the Mo family didn't expect to be wiped out. In the end, only the ancestor of the Mo family was left alone to survive the shipwreck. Except for the fragment of the Mo family in Lu Yao's hand, the other fragments are missing. This is the first difficulty.
The second point is that the Book of Ink is called a strange book by Mo Wen, and it will automatically look for someone who is destined. This is no longer a strange book, it has become a refinement. Collect all the fragments, and if you want to synthesize the original, you have to need certain conditions according to Pangu's urine.
Putting these aside, the task reward made Lu Yao very satisfied. There are hundreds of people in Mojia Village. A village full of artisans. With their annexation, the industrial system of the territory is not to be worried. People can prospect for minerals, know how to make iron, and build all kinds of weapons and equipment siege equipment, a proper ancient industrial base.
After patiently listening to Mo Wen for a while, Lu Yao said goodbye and left, and returned to the territory satisfied. He didn't want to just arrive at the entrance of the village, he was stunned.
The entrance to the village was bloodied, and it seemed that a battle had just ended.
