"Are you saying that Qiu Yan only took half a day to make this ...... Stove sac?"

Chen Jing stood in the inner room, looking at the thing in front of him, which was composed of a leather bag and a few hanging rods, with a curious face.

Two days ago, Chen Jing went to Yuanning Mansion with Zhen Zhizuo and others to pick up Qiu Yan and go to the Eastern Capital, but when he arrived at the place, he learned that Qiu Yan had already left for Rongzhou, congratulated his friend, and left a letter to Zhen Zhizuo.

Subsequently, Zhen Zhizuo sent Zhang Yu and others to investigate, and soon learned about Qiu Yan's itinerary, and then followed all the way to this Xingtai Town.

As soon as they arrived in the town, they noticed an undercurrent from the people coming and going, but a few people were passers-by, of course, there was no need to delve into it, just to inquire about Qiu Yan's news, but after a little inquiry, they learned what Qiu Yan had done before, and almost all the people in the town expressed their dissatisfaction and were excited.

It took a lot of effort for Chen Jing and the others to find the Liu family's blacksmith shop and see the stove bag in everyone's mouth.

Zhen Zhizuo and Lin Jue were standing next to Chen Jing, and the two were also looking at the installation in the room.

"Exactly, before Qiu Yan left, he left this picture......" Next to several people, Liu Xin, who was smiling, said and handed over a piece of paper in his hand.

The paper had been damaged, but the handwriting was legible.

Chen Jing took a look, his eyes swept over it, and his complexion suddenly changed, and he was surprised: "Good words, good words, no wonder even Qi Jiulian's kid admits that he is inferior," sighed twice, and his attention was attracted by the structure diagram above, "This is the category of mechanical techniques, right? But it doesn't look complicated, do you use the method of blowing wind to heat the fire?" Senior brother, come and take a look......

Chen Jing handed over the paper in his hand.

Zhen Zhizuo took it and took a few detailed looks, and Zuihou couldn't help but sigh: "This method is very ingenious, I heard that the manufacturing bureau on the outskirts of the Eastern Capital." It cost tens of millions of taels to build a blast furnace, which was heated with yellow stone and fried with red gall water, but compared with this stove, it was quite inferior to ......"

Lin Jue also came up to watch, nodded his head, and agreed.

Chen Jing smiled: "It's not all, the blast can be heated, this method has been mentioned before." Before I apprenticed, I went with my father to the military academy in Xingjing, where there was also a wind blower device, but it used a method outside the square. ”

Zhen Zhizuo knew what Chen Jing said, shook his head and said: "I have also seen the blast furnace of the Xingjing Military Academy, which is more clever and labor-saving than Qiu Yan's method, and is suitable for large-scale weapon building. ”

Chen Jing didn't argue, but said, "Senior brother." Qiu Yan said that the importance of this method can also be used by ordinary people, it does not cost much, and there is no need to be restrained by strange forces. can be heated and cast by itself, which can be described as ingeniously designed, I don't know how Qiu Yan thought of it. ”

Liu Xin was waiting beside him, and when he heard this, he hurriedly said: "This stove bag was not created by Qiu Yan. He was just taught by the gods. ”

Lin Jue, who had been silent, frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Taught by God?" was Qiu Yan telling you?"

"No, no. Hearing this inquiry, which seemed to be mixed with no emotions, Liu Xin was inexplicably cold, and hurriedly waved his hand and explained, "Then Qiu Sheng didn't say that, after he left the stove bag, he left quickly, as for this divine gift, it was dreamed of by the villain!"

"It's not what Qiu Yan said, but what you dreamed of yourself, how can you be sure?" Zhen Zhizuo also shook his head, feeling ridiculous.

Liu Xin said: "This dream is not only made by the villain, but also by the other people present that day, who also dreamed of the same scene, if it were not for the manifestation of the gods, how could it be like this?"

Chen Jing said: "The gods think they are superior to others and have to restrict humanity in everything, how can they bestow such skills? Aren't they afraid to open up the wisdom of the people? Besides, those gods are all superstitious in supernatural powers, and everything is solved with supernatural powers, how can they know the art of the mechanism?"

Zhen Zhizuo heard this, and said in a deep voice: "Be cautious, don't forget the teachings of the sages. ”

"I know, if you don't say anything, the sages are afraid that if you talk too much, you will leave a handle, after all, what we are doing is to compete with Shinto for jobs, and we just do not say it. Chen Jing grinned.

Seeing his appearance, Zhen Zhizuo had no choice but to shake his head helplessly, and asked Liu Xin again: "Qiu Yan made a stove bag with you, which can help people make fire, and it is beneficial to the way of smelting and casting, why are the people in the town so hostile to him?"

Liu Xin said with a bitter face: "It's not because I offended the gods, how can mortals like us compete with the gods?" As soon as Qiu Sheng left, Huo Zheng offended us and others, causing the fire temperature of other families to increase slowly, reducing the quality of pig iron. ”

When Chen Jing heard this, he laughed again: "This is a stupid god, isn't he forcing the people in the town to choose stoves?

Liu Xin immediately panicked: "Childe, you can't talk nonsense, there are gods in your head, who dares to use this stove bag in every household now, my family just hasn't had time to dismantle it yet." Although he did not learn or know how to do it, he still had a little reverence for the gods.

"Okay, okay, don't worry, it's me who criticizes the gods, why should you worry?" Chen Jing raised his hand and threw out a piece of broken silver, "This is the haode silver, take it." ”

Liu Xin hurriedly caught the silver two and thanked him again and again.

Zhen Zhizuo handed back the somewhat damaged paper in his hand and motioned for Liu Xin to put it away.

Unexpectedly, Liu Xin said: "If a few sons need it, just take this picture away, it's useless to keep it, almost everyone in the town has seen it, and the stove bag is not complicated, this thing has no value at all." ”

"What are you talking about?" Chen Jing's eyes widened, looking Liu Xin up and down, zuihouhahadaxiao, he pointed at Liu Xin and said, "You grovel for a few taels of silver, but you don't care about words worth dozens of taels." is not optimistic about the meaningful stove bag, but values the gods, when it is really eyeless and beadless, there is a treasure mountain without knowing it. ”

"You...... What are you talking about?" Liu Xin was originally awkward when he was looked at, but when he heard this, his eyes widened, he swallowed his saliva, and stared at the word, "Dozens of taels?"

"If it weren't for the creases, the price would have to be raised a few more points," Chen Jing shook his fingers, "Of course, if Qiu Yan dies suddenly now, then this word will be even more valuable, and in a few years, maybe it will be worth a hundred gold, how? We're going to take it away!"

"Give it back!"

As soon as he heard that this calligraphy was so valuable, where could Liu Xin calm down, he was going to step forward and snatch it back, he still owed a lot of gambling debts, if this calligraphy and painting were really so valuable, wouldn't it be able to calm down at once, and make a lot of money?

It's better to believe what you have than what you don't have!

Unexpectedly, there was a strong wind next to him, and Chen Jing slapped it with a palm, and the real qi in his hand surged. The blood swarmed, and the power that erupted shocked the entire blacksmith shop!

Rumble!

This mighty palm slapped on Liu Xin's body, which immediately made his heart crack, sweating like rain, but it did not hurt him, only a strong wind spread all over his body and submerged under his feet.

"Uh...... "Nevertheless. Liu Xin was shaken by this might, and it was difficult to hold himself.

"Chen Jing!" Seeing this, Zhen Zhizuo couldn't help but say loudly, "Have you forgotten the teacher's teachings again?"

"Senior brother. People's desires must always be revealed, so that they can be remembered," Chen Jing took the piece of paper from Zhen Zhizuo's hand. raised in front of Liu Xin and said to the latter, "Qiu Yan's words." It's sad to let someone like you hold it. ”

As he spoke, he handed the paper over.

Liu Xin subconsciously caught it, not daring to say more.

At this time, Lin Jue suddenly said: "This character map, in addition to us, have you also shown it to other foreigners?"

Liu Xin was shocked at this time, listened to the question, and instinctively replied: "Yes, Xiangzheng once sent someone to copy the copy, and a few scholars came yesterday and made a copy." ”

After saying this, it took a while for him to recover from the tremor, and when he looked at it again, Zhen Zhizuo and the others had already left, but Liu Xin had long been unable to take care of anything else, looking at a calligraphy and painting in his hand, grinning, thinking about going to Fucheng tomorrow and finding a pawnshop to exchange for real money.

Suddenly!

Shaking!

The whole shop shook, crackling, the ground cracked, the walls collapsed, the smoke and dust rolled, Liu Xinwei screamed, took the paper in his hand, and hurriedly ran out, stumbling under his feet, falling to the ground, struggling to turn back, just in time to see the scene of his own shop collapsing.

..................

"If you don't restrain your temperament, you will be kicked out of the door by the teacher sooner or later. ”

On the way, Zhen Zhizuo warned Chen Jing earnestly, but the latter just laughed and didn't seem to take it to heart.

In the next few days, they went all the way north, but they were always one step slower than Qiu Yan, and everywhere they went, Qiu Yan must leave before them.

Not enough, along the way, all the towns and villages that Qiu Yan passes through will more or less leave some things and events.

"This Qiu Yan is not simple, he goes all the way north, and everywhere he passes, he has to leave something behind, and he can even help people solve cases. ”

On the carriage, Chen Jing sighed from time to time, holding several small objects in his hands, all of which were collected on the road and related to Qiu Yan.

Next to him, Lin Jue nodded, and then lowered his voice and said: "It's just that the Stove God doesn't seem to be simple, and it has a certain connection with Qiu Yan, but everywhere Qiu Yan passes, there are traces of this god, but the name of this god is very unfamiliar." This god deliberately dreamed and left a name, in order to expand the popularity of the people, which seems to be contrary to the practice of the heavenly court."

Zhen Zhizuo shook his head and took out a note from his arms: "You are wrong, the matter of the Stove God is not limited to this way, Qiu Yan just happened to be at the right time, and was taken advantage of by this god. ”

Chen Jing raised his eyebrows: "Senior brother, how can you say this?"

Zhen Zhizuo spread out the note in his hand: "This is the news from the flying pigeon in the morning, you can see for yourself." ”

Chen Jing and Lin Jue looked at each other, and then their colors changed.

"Hmm, in the past few days, the god of the stove has actually left traces and manifestations in so many prefectures, villages and towns? Could it be ......?"

Chen Jing and Lin Jue glanced at each other, and at the same time spit out a word-

"Jurisdictional derivation?" (to be continued......
