Chapter 323 The Wisdom of the Mountain People - Explosive Tag (33)

"Your mountain village truly lives up to its reputation as the village most skilled at making 'talisman launchers'."

"These intricate combinations far exceed the content recorded in the 'Luoshu'..."

With a smile and a nod, Ba Rui Jun praised without reservation.

Among the mountain people of Baidi today, talisman transmitters are no longer a novelty.

Almost every village has its own unique skills; the only difference is how well they work.

As for the most crucial element of the talisman launcher: the talisman bullet?
So far, even the readily available talisman paper provided by the mountain village has been used.

Few mountain dwellers can draw a complete talisman, let alone draw multiple talismans according to local conditions.

Therefore, in most cases, the mountain people are used to directly purchasing finished talisman bullets produced in the mountain valley village.

Cheap, easy to use, and with ample after-sales support...

Thanks to this unique advantage, Shan'ao Village has now become a complete bamboo planting base.

Each year, one can acquire enormous wealth simply by planting talisman bamboo, and then use that wealth to purchase grain.

This collaborative model completely disrupted the traditional way of life for mountain people.

It is gradually becoming popular in the mountain villages of the entire Baidi Mountain Range.

Under Li Boyang's plan, every region and village in the Baidi Mountains will have its own specialty products in the future.

There are people specifically responsible for growing grain...

There are specialized companies responsible for raising meat...

There are specialized companies that produce paper...

There are people specifically responsible for printing books...

There are specialized companies responsible for building ships...

There are people specifically responsible for repair tools...

There might even be some specifically designed for combat...

This initial regional industrial division of labor and cooperation will eventually replace the most primitive agricultural model, laying the foundation for future industrial and supply chain collaborative division of labor.

Of course, that day is still a long way off.

For the mountain people in the Baidishan area, the biggest advantage of this complementary industry is that it liberates productivity, enabling them to do things that were previously impossible for a single village.

"The mountain god is too kind; all of this is thanks to the prophet's grace."

Watching Ba Guijun quietly open the second bag, Uncle Lu maintained the demeanor befitting a businessman.

Because the second bag contained hundreds of talisman bullets.

The talismans that can be used to make talisman bullets are all extremely offensive.

So, at just one glance, Ba Guijun sensed the hidden danger within.

If these hundreds of talisman bullets were to explode all at once...

Even now, Ba Gui Jun might not be able to escape unscathed.

"The talisman bullets from your village are still as high-quality as ever."

Reaching out, Ba Gui Jun took out a talisman bullet. He stared at the talisman on it, a barely perceptible longing flashing in his eyes.

Compared to those purely mechanical talisman emitters.

The talismans on these talisman bullets are the real treasures that Ba Gui Jun values.

Although it cannot compare to real proverbs and incantations.

However, if one can understand the operating principles of these talismans, it can also help Ba Gui Jun explore the methods of heaven and man.

Thinking of this, Bagui opened the third bag on the ground.

Unlike the talisman launcher and talisman bullets, this third bag contained five stacks of talismans. These talismans were the most commonly used by the mountain people, including talismans for speed, lightness, breath control, strengthening, and exorcism; they could barely be considered everyday items.

Just like the bronze horse was able to carry so much stuff across nearly a hundred kilometers, it relied on these commonly used talismans.

"I'm very satisfied with the product; this is your payment."

After confirming that everything was in order, Balu nodded in satisfaction.

Then he very carefully took out ten golden seeds from his sleeve.

As a mountain god who was forced into this role, Ba Gui Jun protected a village that was not a large village, so naturally there was no currency used in the mountains and rivers—bronze coins.

However, these ten golden seeds, which were born from its own body, were more than enough to pay for this shipment.

In fact, the reason why Uncle Lu, who is so old, is willing to run this route so frequently and carry so many dangerous items to trade with Ba Gui Jun is precisely because of these seeds.

"Thank you, Mountain God, for your blessing!"

"If you have any further needs, please feel free to contact us at any time."

Carefully accepting the ten golden seeds, Uncle Lu knew that Shan'ao Village might have another specialty product in the future.

Most importantly, these seeds from the gods possess divine power, which greatly helps his granddaughter's cultivation.

"For the sake of our old acquaintance, I'll give you some advice."

“If you have a grandchild who practices ‘breathing techniques’, it is best to consume one seed per month.”

"After all, my seed is not a true 'blood and qi elixir,' and long-term use will lead to abnormalities."

Upon hearing what Ba Guijun said, Uncle Lu immediately became nervous.

"What kind of alienation phenomenon?"

Seeing this, Balu-kun, who had expected it, silently shook his head.

"The skin becomes fair and translucent, the bones become crystal clear, and perhaps it will unconsciously emanate a cold aura..."

"In short, if you don't want your grandchildren to become freaks who are completely different from others, you'd better control the frequency of his medication."

Whether surprised or relieved, Uncle Lu hesitated briefly before speaking again.

"Your Excellency the Mountain God, although I do not know what trouble you have encountered..."

“But I think since you’re collecting talismans, this should be of some use to you as well.”

This statement reveals the true purpose behind Ba Guijun's recent transactions.

Uncle Lu slowly took out a rather simple-looking talisman and handed it to Ba Gui Jun, who was still in a state of shock.

"These are the 'explosive tags' that my granddaughter invented herself."

"Although it cannot compare to the talismans taught by the prophet, this 'explosive tag' is simple, easy to understand, and extremely powerful."

"Whether you use it for self-defense or to teach villagers how to draw talismans, it is far better than those talisman bullets."

It wasn't until this moment that he snapped out of his shock and looked down at the explosive tag in his hand.

Just as Uncle Lu said, the lines on this detonating talisman are much simpler than those on other talismans.

If other talismans are like exquisite paintings or complex, superimposed formulas...

So this detonation symbol is just a few simple, crude lines, and the simplest addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division formulas.

Even beginners can easily draw a complete detonation tag with just a little practice.

More importantly, this explosive tag was not the product of that prophet, but rather the crystallization of wisdom summarized and synthesized by the mountain people themselves.

This not only signifies the development of the mountain people's own creativity, but also marks the beginning of their journey from zero to one.

This also means that Ba Guijun's long-sought-after path of talismans finally has a glimmer of possibility of entering the realm of magic.
