Start as a Temple Spirit

Da Niu and Da Gou, who were leading the team in training, immediately announced the disbandment when they saw Heizi coming. A group of people surrounded Heizi and started chatting about funny things.

This kind of scene has occurred many times, so the twenty newly recruited temple guards have become familiar with Heizi.

As the communication between the two sides deepened, the temple guards could guess most of what Heizi said, so the communication barriers between species were quickly disappearing.

"Dang dang dang" In the brightly lit forging workshop, master craftsmen are leading their apprentices, forging iron with their bare chests, and working overtime to create weapons for the reserve forces.

In the courtyard, Yiwu, Yifeng, Yijin and Wangmu looked at Yang Chao eagerly as he assembles lamps.

As Yang Chao quickly assembled it, a rough metal lantern frame stood on the stone table.

Seeing this, Yi Jin couldn't wait to ask: "Xiao Chao, should we put in the Yuanling Coin next?"

"No, we still need the glass cover. I'll go get it right away." Yang Chao said as he ran towards his temporary accommodation.

Not long after, he came back with a glass cover, which was actually a glass cover with bubbles in it.

He put the glass cover on the small metal lantern, fixed it, and nodded with satisfaction.

Then he took out the Yuanling coin and put it into the secret compartment of the small lantern. A strange scene appeared, and a faint white light emanated from the lampshade.

After a few breaths, white light radiated, casting a soft glow and illuminating the world.

"It's bright, it's bright." Yi Jin clapped his hands with joy like a little child.

Yiwu looked at the Yuanling Lantern emitting a soft white light, smiled, looked at Yang Chao and asked: "Xiao Chao, how long can one Yuanling coin keep the Yuanling Lantern lit?"

"How long can it last?" Yang Chao thought for a moment and said, "If you use Yuanling Mineral Coins sparingly, it can last for a month. If you use Yuanling Coins, it can last for three or four months. However, I suggest using Yuanling Mineral Coins to provide energy. They are cheap."

"Can we use Yuanling ore coins to provide energy for the Yuanling lamp?" Yifeng asked in surprise.

"Yeah," Yang Chao nodded and explained, "This Yuandeng Lantern is an improved version, so it can use Yuanling Mineral Coins to provide energy for lighting. It was only popularized a few years ago, and I overlooked this point just now."

"Oh" everyone suddenly understood.

Wang Mu heard this and said helplessly: "Why didn't you tell me earlier, kid? There are quite a few Yuanling Mineral Coins in the village."

One Yuanling Coin is more valuable than a hundred gold coins. To be honest, using it to provide energy for lighting is a real luxury and waste.

But candlelight could not meet the brightness Yang Chao needed for his nighttime work.

So the old patriarch reluctantly proposed the rumored Yuanling Lamp.

The Yuanling Lamp was originally a lighting tool created by the Mohists. Yang Chao naturally knew how to make it, which led to this scene.

"That's great." Yi Jin said happily, then he thought of something and looked at Wang Mu blankly and asked: "Yuan Ling Mineral Coin? Do we have Yuan Ling Mineral Coin?"

"Yes, we suffered a lot in the cave. The old man remembers that there were thousands of them." Yiwu said with a smile.

"There are more than a thousand." Yifeng shook his head. When Yiwu and the others saw it, he reminded them, "An ambush."

"Oh," Yi Jin suddenly realized, and asked, "How much did you capture?"

"Not much, just a sack. Until now, I still can't figure out why the bandits carried so many Yuanling ore coins." Yifeng said with a frown.

"Used to attack the city." Yang Chao replied.

"Swish, swish, swish" everyone looked at Yang Chao.

Seeing this, Yang Chao explained: "This is a new attack method developed by the formation master. It uses the formation to extract the energy in the Yuanling ore coins and launch an attack."

"But this attack is risky, because the energy of the Yuanling Mineral Coin is complex and it will explode if you are not careful."

"Hiss" Yiwu and others couldn't help but gasp when they heard this.

What kind of formation is this? It's like killing one thousand enemies but losing eight hundred of your own. It's better not to touch it.

"Since there are Yuanling ore coins in the village, I will assemble a few other Yuanling lanterns." Yang Chao didn't care about the path of using Yuanling ore coins to gather energy for attack, and turned to walk towards his residence.

"I'm going to get the Yuanling currency." Yifeng picked up the Yuanling lantern and walked towards the Forgotten Temple.

"Lao Feng, the Yuanling lantern is placed in front of the cave at the entrance of the temple. Don't take it back." Yiwu said to Yifeng.

"I understand." Yifeng waved to the back without even turning back.

"I think the boss went to get the Yuanling ore coins for only one reason, and the second reason was to tease the wolf cubs." Yi Jin said with a knowing look on his face.

"You are so smart." Wangmu rolled his eyes at Yijin and turned to help his nephew move things.

Yi Jin was scratching his head at Wang Mu's white eyes until Yi Wu kicked him in the butt and scolded him with a smile: "You old fool, what are you standing there for? Go and help."

Only then did he say "Oh oh" and chase after Wangmu.

Seeing this, Yiwu stroked his beard and smiled, thinking that this old fool could still be saved.

The peaceful life ended when three hunting teams returned and brought back information about the enemy.

Just as Yiwu guessed, the bandits who escaped from the ambush not only exposed the location of the Forgotten City, but also exaggerated the wealth of the Forgotten City, which attracted banditry.

When the hunting team returned, they found no less than five scouts and engaged them, eventually winning.

This result also indirectly shows that the invading bandits were of average strength.

But the sudden appearance of bandit scouts also made them feel threatened, and they had to rush back day and night.

I rushed back to the village this afternoon.

In the thatched meeting room next to the Forgotten Temple, Yiwu knocked on the table. After listening to the report from Yishui and others, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought. The situation seemed a little tricky.

"Boss, you are the military strategist, you tell us what we should do." Yihuo couldn't hold back his temper and said to Yifeng.

"What can we do? Of course we have to confront each other across the river." Yifeng said calmly.

He was not too worried about the invading bandits, because the powerful and fierce bandits looked down on their Forgotten Township.

"No ambush?" Yishui asked thoughtfully.

Yifeng shook his head and said, "It's useless. We can only set up an ambush once, not twice. Besides, we are not facing a group of bandits. If we go out to ambush them, if they cut off our retreat, we won't even have the chance to return to defend the place."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.

"Hmm," Yi Wu cleared his throat and saw everyone looking at him.

He stroked his beard and said, "As the saying goes, when the enemy comes, we will fight him; when the water comes, we will block it with earth. When the bandits show up, we will pull all our men out and confront them across the river. Whether the bandits retreat or fight, we will just take it. There is nothing to be afraid of."

When Yiwu finished speaking, he slammed the table and stood up. The once iron-blooded veteran returned again.

"The clan leader is right. I'll go find Xiao Chao and ask him to build a crossbow to shoot those bastards to death." After Wang Mu finished speaking, he stood up and walked out of the house.

"Should we talk to the Seventh Elder about this?" Yi Tu looked at everyone and asked.

"Shua, shua, shua" Yifeng and others looked at Yiwu in unison when they heard the words. The decision still had to be made by the patriarch.
