Chapter 55: Thousand Miles Blitzkrieg
"Lao Yu, are you sure you won't go back first?" Jin Gang Pao was driving the car and knew that I had returned from my hometown ahead of schedule.
"I've already called home, I'm in a bad mood and want to go for a walk. Old Cow, why don't you ask me where I really want to go this time?" I reached out to touch the head of the white wolf lying on the back seat.
"I'll even go with you to the underworld, old Yu has arrived." Jin Gang drove the car to the largest wholesale market in the provincial city.
I got off the car, turned around and made a gesture to indicate that White Wolf should wait in the car, then turned around with Jin Gang Pao and entered the wholesale market.
"Lao Yu, where on earth are you planning to go?" Jin Gang Pao finally couldn't help but ask as he looked at the various strange equipment I had bought.
"Yan Wang Temple, boss, give me two more of your biggest nail guns." I fired at the old boss who sold hardware tools.
"What's this thing for?" Jin Gang Cannon looked at the large nail gun in his hand.
"You guess, hehe..."
Half an hour later, I and Jin Gang came out with our hands on each other's shoulders.
"Where are we going now?" Jin Gang Pao asked.
"Looking for a place with lathe processing, I'll make something."
"What's going on?" The cannon started the car.
"I want to modify the nail gun to make it shoot steel needles. However, the barrel of the nail gun is too short, and the shooting distance and accuracy are not good, so I need to remake the barrel and bullets." I closed my eyes and recalled the dimensions and shapes of the required parts.
"My grass, that thing is against the law!" Jin Gang Pao is acting like a law-abiding citizen at this moment.
"Out of sight, out of mind..."
"Old Yu, get your dog out of the way." There were too many things and the car trunk couldn't hold them all, so they had to be piled up on the back seat. The white wolf was squeezed into a squatting position behind Jin Gang Pao, its tongue hanging out, drooling onto Jin Gang Pao's shoulder.
Jin Gang drove his car and found a lathe processing plant, where workers in overalls were busy.
"Lao Yu, is this the steel needle you were talking about? It looks like a steel club to me?" Jin Gang examined the sample in his hand. The finished steel needle was as thick as a cigarette, half as long, with one end being a sharp blade tip.
"Master, make three hundred more according to this size," I said.
The old car finally made what I needed after working for two hours.
"Old Cow, you try." I found a secluded grove and handed him the modified nail gun.
"Rustle, rustle, rustle..." A row of steel needles were nailed straight onto a large tree about twenty meters away from us.
"Lao Yu, how come you didn't fire a single shot?" Jin Gang Pa exclaimed.
"The nail gun doesn't have a semi-automatic catch, so you need to release the trigger immediately after firing, otherwise it will fire continuously." I gazed at the steel needles on the tree, and they were quite effective.
"Our unit's bullets aren't as long as yours?" Jin Gang Pao looked at the steel needle nailed to the tree.
"The only difference between a replica gun and a regular gun is the barrel. Local lathes can't produce rifling, so if you don't make the steel needle longer, it will flip over after coming out of the barrel." I tried to pull out the steel needle from the tree trunk to reuse it, but it was inserted too deeply, so I had to give up.
"Lao Yu, this thing you're playing with looks just like the turtle shell box used by the devils in the movies"
"You'd better take it then." I replied casually.
"I can't just call it a turtle box anymore, I have to give it a more domineering name" King Kong Cannon thought for half a day, rolling his eyes "How about calling it the Divine Turtle Cannon?"
"You can call it a cannon for all I care." This guy thought about it for half a day, and his mind never left the turtle king.
"Where to go now?" The golden cannon started the car and drove back.
I raised my hand towards the west "Kunlun Mountains!"
......
......
I and Jin Gangpa Ma didn't stop, people rested but the car didn't rest, in one day we galloped out over 2000 kilometers, by noon the next day we were already sitting in a Lanzhou noodle shop eating noodles.
"Old man, how much further?" Jin Gang asked, slurping down a big bowl of la mian.
"Going a few hundred miles further west should bring the Dragon's Tail into view." The Kunlun Mountains are the ancestors of all mountains, born with dragon energy.
"Where are we going?" The authentic Lanzhou hand-pulled noodles with rich meat soup, on a cold day, drinking a few mouthfuls of hot soup feels really good.
"It should be in the direction of Longshou." I added a few spoons of chili pepper to the noodles.
"Why can't we just head straight for the dragon's head? Why do we have to start from the beginning?" suggested Jin Gang Pao.
"That year, Feng Dao Ren went up Kunlun Mountain to dig the Nine Yang Pine and left from here, so we can only leave from here too, otherwise we won't be able to find the way..."
After lunch, I drove the car to a paid underground parking lot and changed to a rental car to continue westward. On the road, I guided the driver according to the dragon energy that appeared vaguely in front of me, and finally arrived at a remote small town under the corner of Kunlun Mountain in the late afternoon.
"Lao Yu, what are you looking at?" To be on the safe side, they only booked one room for the night.
"The map." I held in my hand the Kunlun directional map left behind by Feng Dao Ren's stone coffin and that route guide.
"What the heck is this map? There isn't even a place name on it." Jin Gang grabbed the map from my hand and stared at it for half a day without understanding.
"When the Wind Path cultivator first went to rescue that woman, he was in a hurry and used the Air-Splitting Technique to fly over, so naturally he wouldn't notice any place names. However, the geographical features of this place are very useful for us."
"What's the meaning of these fancy breaths?" Jin Gang Cannon asked, pointing to those differently colored gas columns on Han Shu's map.
"This should be some special things he saw on the ground in the air." There are seventeen gas columns on the cold mouse map, and the colors are not the same.
"What is it?" Jin Gang Pao asked again.
"How am I supposed to know?" I replied irritably.
"What's in your head? Don't you know?" Jin Gang pointed at my head with a nervous expression.
His old friend was currently being messed up by his senior brother's formation, and he was so anxious that he was almost in the air all the way. He didn't know what things were on the ground, how would I know? I opened the Golden Cannon with a swoop.
"Lao Yu, really half a year?" Jin Gang thought I was just joking with him when I said half a year.
"Your Wind Chasing Skill is as powerful as his, it would take only a few days to master. Unfortunately, your current skill level is still like a donkey running wildly, left and right, if you can master it in half a year, that's already not bad. This guy's Wind Chasing Skill is the worst, I can jump over 10 meters with one step of my skill, he can't even reach 10 meters, and it's not even certain if his feet are on the ground."
"How far is the latest black air column from here?" Jin Gang Cannon handed me the map.
"It should be less than a hundred miles." I made an analysis based on the direction of the mountain range.
"What does this black air column represent?" King Kong Gun turned off the TV.
The first sentence on the road is 'Kunlun Dragon Tail falls into the dark abyss, Mingzu gathers in the dark without heaven'. Based on this sentence, I guess that the first air column on the map may represent some ghosts. Because it is said that Mount Kunlun connects Tian Ting to the top and Yongming to the bottom, and the dragon tail has a gathering of yin souls, which is also normal.
"We're not afraid of ghosts." The Golden Gun felt at ease.
"Yin soul you are not afraid, but there is still a 'qi'......"
