Chapter 244 Lighting the candle is king

Dai Yi asked Wu Qi to follow him.

Twenty feet behind Fuyun Pavilion is a small independent mansion. The house is built with bamboo and is shaped like a stilt house of Miao people.

There were talismans pasted outside the house, yellow paper and vermilion characters, and you could see what was sealed inside at a glance. The guards outside were standing guard and no idle people were allowed to approach.

Dai Yi walked to the door and pushed open the bamboo curtain: "Junior brother, come in quickly."

Wu Qi went in and found that it was very dark inside. There were lanterns hanging on the wall. Under the dim candlelight, the room was even more gloomy.

Dai Yi unscrewed a machine snail and suddenly became brighter, and there were clusters of pearls on his head shining.

It was the first time that Wu Qi came to this house where medicine was tested. He thought that the court was rich, so it took only three days to build such a house with magic weapons. It was obvious that the court would be determined to do something really quickly.

"Junior brother, look at it."

Dai Yi took out a bamboo box from his sleeve and carefully opened the bamboo cover.

A short white candle was lying in the box.

The surface of the candle has layers of purple and black patterns, which reminds Wu Qi of the Yuhua Stone, which looks strange and coordinated.

Dai Yi used Qi Refining Technique to ignite the purple-patterned candle.

He tore open a talisman on the wall and handed it to Wu Qi: "Junior brother, you will post this talisman again later."

Wu Qicai said ok, and a buzzing sound came from his ears.

Many locusts suddenly appeared on the ceiling and beams. They fell from the sky and scattered in this small house like light rain.

These winged insects quickly surrounded Dai Yi, wrapping up the people inside, forming a loose insect ball.

The swarm of insects surrounds, but they dare not get too close.

Dai Yi held a purple-patterned white candle with his hand and said proudly: "This is the "locustard pill". It is made into a candle and sealed with wax to preserve the medicinal properties to the greatest extent. As long as it has not been burned out, it can attract locusts from around several miles away."

Thousands of locusts surrounded him, making him look like a bug king.

"Junior brother, please post the talisman quickly, this one should save some effort."

Wu Qi put the talisman in his hand on the wall.

Dai Yi also used his fingers to extinguish the candlelight.

The locust swarm suddenly scattered around, circling around, and most of them returned to the beams.

Dai Yi took Wu Qi out of the house and said, "This time, the "Locust Pill", or the "Locust Candle", can be made in three months. I didn't expect that it was thanks to everyone."

At this time, other members involved in the development of "Locust Candle" also came over one by one.

They learned the news earlier than Wu Qi.

It is obvious that there have been many control tests before the finished product is released.

Dai Yi smiled and said, "First of all, Ma Xiang's insect energy is the core medicinal property of "locust candles"."

The locust demon Ma Xiang scratched his head embarrassedly: "Actually, I didn't do anything, but there were very few locust demons who turned into spirits, and even fewer people joined the sect, so everyone doesn't know much about it."

“No need to be modest.”

Dai Yi said seriously: "Brother Ma resisted the pain of the gospel and was grateful for being able to persist here."

"You're welcome." Ma Xiang waved his hand: "I'm very relaxed than you. I eat and sleep well every day, just give me some blood and flesh."

With Tai Sui Youse, the body is added to ensure that Buqi Pills and sufficient food, Ma Xiang's body can regenerate quickly, and he has built the entire new medicine framework.

"Then it is fellow Taoist Lu Qingqing."

Dai Yi signaled next to him.

Wu Qi discovered that Lu Qingqing had lost a lot of weight and could see that she didn't sleep much and looked a little haggard, but at this time her eyes were very vivid.

"Without Fellow Daoist Lu, we must have taken many detours. We almost went astray several times. Her understanding and experience of the Taoist Tao are extremely precious."

Dai Yixiao: "Alchemists cannot be achieved overnight, but I was fantastic at first."

Lu Qingqing whispered: "This cannot be separated from everyone's advice, I am just a part of it."

Then Dai Yi thanked the others separately.

Including Hou Mo Chenwei who went out for a test, Xu Shujing, who had been busy at home, A Jin, who had performed detailed dissections and explanations of many locusts, Elder Yan, who carried out many logistics affairs on his shoulders, and Li Mi, who gave some opinions and suggestions in his spare time.

As the few people were talking, a red light fell from the sky.

As soon as the Dragon Girl came, she asked: "Has it really been made? How is the finished product?"

Dai Yi explained: "Lord Dragon Girl, the finished product of "Lotus Candle" has indeed stabilized, and it has a very strong attraction to the locusts within a radius of three miles."

"By the insect energy?"

"Insect energy is one of them," Dai Yi said: "On the basis of the insect energy, we also found that the female locust is extremely attractive, so we took a lot of female locust energy. Then we ground and fuse the dragon bone and spiritual tea to enhance its strength and let it burn for longer. Therefore, it only takes a little bit to make several miles of locusts flock to it."

He paused: "In general, this "locust candle" is like a queen of locust swarms in the perception of the locust swarms."

"There is no need for any spiritual power to support it. By igniting and releasing the fragrance in the candle, it can create a strong insect aura that has never been seen before. The locust swarm cannot resist this temptation. It is stronger and closer to instinct than the desire to eat."

The dragon girl's eyes narrowed: "How many tests have this "locust candle" been tested?"

"Forty-nine times." Dai Yi said: "Forty-nine times." "For all the most typical swarms of locusts that appear in the Tang Dynasty, the effects are the same and the attraction is huge. The swarms will not disappear until the candles are burned out."

"very good."

The dragon girl rarely smiled on her face: "You are really unexpected and can actually make this kind of thing so quickly."

"However, although the "locust candle" has been made, the subsequent use requires careful attention."

Dai Yi looked at Wu Qi: "In this regard, my junior brother has actually had a complete set of plans. We have all heard of them and think they are feasible."

"oh?"

The Dragon Girl of the Water Shui turned her gaze to Wu Qi.

She heard from A Jin that Wu Qi used talismans to tinker with the talismans these days, and just drank spiritual tea every day and tried different ways to cook for Dan Ling... His leisurely appearance was simply out of place with other people.

Wu Qi was completely unaware of it and said his strategy: "The most difficult thing is "locust candle". Now that there are finished products, there are many ways to evacuate the locust swarm."

"For example, the easiest and most effective way is to find a deserted island overseas, a little far away from the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and bring the locust swarm to the local area, so that they can survive and die. In the vast ocean, they will be digested by fish and birds soon."

"Then the other way is to use the candle to split the locusts into a small bunch, and introduce them into a closed wooden house, pile up firewood around them, and then let soldiers who are not practitioners ignite the fire, and they can be burned and wiped out separately."

"But I personally think that the first method of guidance is less risky, and use the way of heaven to avoid the heavenly tribulation."

The Dragon Girl of the Water Shui pondered for a moment: "It's indeed reasonable. At present, we must first judge that "locust candles" are indeed effective. There are differences in dealing with small groups of locusts and large groups of locusts. We must ensure that the medicinal properties are sufficient to support large-scale operations..."

At this moment, a white light flashed.

Hou Mo Chenwei was filled with dust and excited. His lack of left eye was covered by a black eye mask, but his remaining right eye was very excited: "It's done, it's done!"

Dai Yi looked expectant: "Senior, has this practical exercise been successful?"

"It's done, it's done!"

Hou Mo Chen Wei laughed: "I went to Leizhou on Lingnan Road and took the "locust candle" to lead a swarm of about one million locusts to a deserted island outside the South China Sea. The island is full of seabirds, and they were all eaten by seabirds! This trick is great! It works very well and perfectly avoids the heavenly disaster! Brother Wu's method is wonderful!"

The Dragon Girl also looked happy at this time: "How much can the "locust candle" produce at present?"

Dai Yi was familiar with this: "Due to the material, a "locust candle" is about one or two, twice as big as an ordinary white candle, and can burn for half an hour. With existing manual methods, under the premise of sufficient materials, thirty kilograms can be made in a day, removing the loss, about 260 pieces."

Hou Mo Chen Wei led millions of locust swarms away, and the speed could not be too fast to prevent the swarm from keeping up. Leizhou was very close to the island, but it also consumed four candles, a total of four taels.

If it is a swarm of locusts in the Central Plains and inland areas, it will cost more candles.

Li Mi thoughtfully for a moment and concluded: "The coastal area is counted as one million locusts to consume four taels. Just to deal with the three coastal locusts, Jiangnan Road and Lingnan Road, it takes ten thousand times, that is, four thousand kilograms to eliminate the current 10 billion locust swarms. The loss is several times greater than that of the inland locust swarms, and at least ten thousand kilograms of "locust candles" are needed."

"It's too slow. It takes a whole year to make ten thousand pounds according to the old method."

Longnu made a quick decision: "Don't worry about the raw materials. I'll go to the court to ask for it. You can mobilize the people from the Yizhou Department of Jianyouwei. They may not be suitable for doing precision work, but it is OK to arrange each one. You are less than ten people at present, so I'll ask Qing Qiang to bring the water demon here, and the speed can be increased several times. You can just mention who you want."

"I want you to try to make ten thousand pounds in two months, and every day earlier, you can save many lives of the people."

"Can you do it?"

She stared at Wu Qi, without any doubt, and also had implicit expectations.

What else can Wu Qi say?
