Chapter 323 - 6: The Wisdom of the Mountain People · Detonator Talisman (3/3)
"Your Mountain Village truly lives up to its reputation as the best at crafting ’Talisman Launchers.’
"These precise composite structures have exceeded far beyond what is recorded in the ’Luo Book...’"
With a smile, Bahu unreservedly praised.
Among the Hundred Lands Mountain People nowadays, talisman launchers are no longer a novelty.
Almost every village has its unique skill, the only difference being how effective they are.
As for the most crucial part of the talisman launcher, the talisman bullets?
Up until now, even with ready-made talisman paper provided by Mountain Village.
Few mountain people can fully draw a single talisman, let alone multiple talismans adapted to the local environment.
Therefore, in most cases, people are used to buying the finished talisman bullets produced by Mountain Village.
Cheap, effective, and with plenty of after-sales service...
With this exclusive advantage, Mountain Village has become a talisman bamboo plantation base.
By planting talisman bamboo each year, they can gain immense wealth and then purchase food with that wealth.
This collaborative model has completely broken the traditional way of living for mountain people.
And it is gradually spreading among the village settlements of the Hundred Lands Group Mountains.
In Li Boyang’s plan, every region and every village in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range will have its specialties in the future.
Some specialize in growing food...
Some specialize in raising livestock...
Some specialize in paper production...
Some specialize in book printing...
Some specialize in shipbuilding...
Some specialize in tool repair...
There might even be those specially engaged in combat...
This initial regional industrial division and collaboration will eventually replace the primitive agricultural model and lay the foundation for future industrial and supply chain collaboration.
Of course, that day is still far away.
For the Hundred Lands Mountain People today, the biggest advantage of this industrial complementation is liberating productivity, allowing them to achieve things that individual villages could never do alone.
"The Mountain God praises us too highly; this is all thanks to the blessings of the Prophet."
Watching Bahu open the second bag quietly, Uncle Lu maintained the demeanor expected of a businessman.
Because that second bag contained hundreds of talisman bullets.
The talismans used to make talisman bullets are highly aggressive.
So with just one glance, Bahu could sense the hidden dangerous aura within.
If these hundreds of talisman bullets were to explode all at once.
Even Bahu now might not escape unscathed.
"Your village’s talisman bullets are still as exquisite as ever."
Reaching out for a talisman bullet, Bahu gazed intently at the talisman on it, a flicker of hard-to-notice desire flashing in her eyes.
Compared to those purely mechanical talisman launchers.
It’s the talismans on these talisman bullets that are Bahu’s true treasures.
Though they pale in comparison to the true Proverb Talismans.
If she could understand the operational principles of these talismans, they would equally aid Bahu in exploring the Celestial Human Technique.
With this thought, Bahu opened the third bag on the ground directly.
Unlike the Talisman Launcher and talisman bullets, this third bag contained five stacks of talismans.
These talismans are the commonly used Divine Movement Talisman, Light Body Talisman, Breath-Closing Talisman, Enhancing Talisman, and Exorcism Talisman, barely counting as daily essentials.
Like the bronze horse carrying so much across nearly a hundred kilometers, relying on these common talismans.
"I’m satisfied with the goods; here’s your payment."
Upon verification, Bahu nodded with great satisfaction.
Then he cautiously retrieved ten golden seeds from his sleeve.
As a makeshift Mountain God, Bahu doesn’t protect a big village, so naturally, they don’t use the common currency of the Hundred Lands Mountain Range—bronze coins.
But these ten golden seeds nurtured by her body are more than enough to pay for this cargo.
In fact, the reason Uncle Lu, at such an advanced age, is willing to frequently run this route, and trade with Bahu despite carrying so many dangerous items, is precisely for these seeds.
"Thank you for the Mountain God’s gift!"
"If you have any needs in the future, feel free to contact us at any time."
Carefully taking the ten golden seeds, Uncle Lu knew that Mountain Village might have another specialty in the future.
The most important thing is that these seeds, imbued with divine power, greatly benefit his granddaughter’s cultivation.
"As a long-time acquaintance, let me advise you."
"If you have a grandchild practicing the Breathing Technique, it’s best for them to consume one seed a month."
"After all, my seeds aren’t the real ’Qi Blood Pill’; long-term consumption may cause mutation."
Upon hearing Bahu’s words, Uncle Lu immediately became nervous.
"What kind of mutation?"
Seeing this, Bahu, who had anticipated the reaction, silently shook her head.
"Skin becomes pale and translucent, bones appear crystal-clear, and cold winds might even unknowingly emanate..."
"In short, if you don’t want your grandson to turn into a complete oddity, you’d better control their intake."
Whether shocked or relieved, after a moment of hesitation, Uncle Lu suddenly spoke again.
"Honored Mountain God, I may not know what trouble you’re facing..."
"But I think, since you’re collecting talismans, this might be somewhat useful to you."
He bluntly revealed the real purpose of Bahu’s recent transactions.
Uncle Lu carefully took out a slightly crude-looking talisman and handed it to the still-stunned Bahu.
"This is the ’Detonator Talisman’ my granddaughter researched herself."
"Although it doesn’t compare to the talismans taught by the Prophet, this ’Detonator Talisman’ is simple and easy to understand, yet immensely powerful."
"Whether for self-defense or teaching villagers to draw talismans, it surpasses those talisman bullets."
Only now, snapped out of her shock, did Bahu look down at the Detonator Talisman in her hand.
As Uncle Lu said, the lines on the Detonator Talisman are much simpler than those on other talismans.
If other talismans are a series of beautiful scrolls, complex formulas layered upon each other.
Then the Detonator Talisman is a straightforward few strokes and the simplest addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division formulas.
Even a beginner, with just a little training, could easily draw a complete Detonator Talisman.
More crucially, this Detonator Talisman isn’t a product of the Prophet but the crystallized wisdom derived and gathered by the mountain people themselves.
This not only signifies the development of creativity among the mountain people, the beginning of their journey from zero to one.
But also indicates that Bahu’s long-coveted path of talismans finally has a glimmer of potential entry.
