Chapter 372: The Eight Phases of the Moon Evolving into the Sun

September 10th.

Inside the mechanism room of Mo City, there was no longer one full moon, but eight constantly changing moons.

Zhou Tieyi decided to refine a complete moon phase system, which naturally had to include the eight changes of the bright moon, so he stayed in Mo City for a month, condensing eight moon phases to lay the foundation for the subsequent construction of the moon phase system.

Gongshu Ting looked at the waxing convex moon that had just formed in front of him and said to Zhou Tieyi beside him, "Would you like to consider staying here?"

Zhou Tieyi looked at the eight rotating and changing bright moons in front of him. When the complete moon phases were condensed, he himself was also undergoing a rapid qualitative change.

Zhou Tieyi turned around and smiled, "Teacher Gongshu, should I stay in Jijian City or Mo City?"

In response to Zhou Tieyi's witticism, Gongshu Ting did not take advantage of his seniority or glare at Zhou Tieyi this time. Instead, he had anticipated Zhou Tieyi's question, so he replied, "How about building a city of your choice between our two cities?"

Zhou Tieyi was stunned after hearing this, then smiled and said, "But instead of building a city, I would rather drive a new steam airship to see the beautiful mountains and rivers of my Great Xia. Teacher Gongshu, let me complete the first voyage of the steam airship."

Before Zhou Tieyi came, Gongshujia had already started to build the steam airship with all his strength. With the information provided by Mojia, Gongshuting and Tian's father communicated without any obstacles in this month, and naturally built the first steam-moshi hybrid airship that could achieve low-altitude flight.

Gongshu Ting was silent for a moment, then asked, "Where are you going?"

"Tangzhou Prefecture."

Zhou Tieyi said affirmatively, "We need to build a railway there to connect to the Taihang Mountains. Once the iron from the Taihang Mountains is transported to Tangzhou Prefecture, we can take the waterway to Tianjing. This is the most economical solution. I also want to go and see the shipyard in Tangzhou Prefecture and the Lakeside Academy case."

Confucian Chief Censor Deng Zhenquan took Wang Mingyi to Tangzhou Prefecture to investigate the case secretly. Now it has been more than a month. He should have got some of the things he wanted, just like he got what he wanted in more than a month. Now the second round of the Moshi case has begun.

Gongshu Ting turned his head to look at the Moon Phase System and suddenly said, "Remember to study the imaginary numbers I taught you carefully. Next time you come to the Mechanical City, if you cannot answer my questions, you will not be allowed to leave."

Zhou Tieyi grinned, "Okay."

In the wild world.

In the bonfire pit in the center of the tribe, a bright moon jumped out from the bonfire pit, and the soft and full moonlight illuminated the entire tribe.

The people in the tribe have become accustomed to such changes, because during this month, their god often appears in the form of a bright moon. Although everyone still cannot understand the reason, the god has not given any further explanation.

But today's moonlight has more changes.

After one bright moon jumped out of the campfire pit, another bright moon jumped out of the campfire pit, but compared to the full moon, the new moon was slightly waning, a waning moon. Then, successive bright moons jumped out, the waning moon, the waning moon, the new moon, the waxing moon, and the waxing moon.

Eight phases of the moon rose above the campfire pond, and the moonlight was brighter than ever before.

Among the eight bright moons, Zhou Tieyi's golden body emerged.

The seventh level of Shintoism, 'Refine the Soul', uses other powers to refine the impurities in the soul, making it pure and spotless.

The power that Zhou Tieyi chose was naturally the power of the moon and the sun.

When he was at the eighth level of Shinto, he still needed others to teach him the [Dragon-shaped Golden Body] to condense a special golden body method. However, when he reached the seventh level of Shinto, he had already walked out of his own path in Shinto and no longer needed to admire the so-called powerful Shinto methods.

However, if his method of [The Eight Phases of the Moon Evolving into the Sun] were to be passed on, it would instead cause an uproar among the Shintoists.

Zhou Tieyi looked at the eight moon phases surrounding him. The different moon phases were connected end to end, layer upon layer, and gathered behind him. The rich jade white color, which symbolized the power of the moon, was constantly overlapping. The soft jade color became more and more blazing, and pure white light was born in the truly perfect moonlight. The power of the sun can be transformed into the power of the moon, and the extreme power of the moon can also give birth to pure solar power.

"Oh oh oh."

A bird raised in captivity by the tribe suddenly began to sing and flap its colorful wings, standing out in the quiet and sacred environment.

But as this cry sounded, the entire tribe "lit up". It was a bright light from the ground to the sky, making everything pure white, and letting everyone bathe in the pure, scorching light.

Let a ray of morning light appear between heaven and earth.

To Zhou Tieyi's left, the bright moon was frozen, showing a deep dark yellow color. To his right, the sun was illusory, and a pure white dot was born.

Hundreds of miles away, among the tribes on the plain.

Under Zhou Tieyi's instructions, Wu Mu and other tribal warriors came here with coins and gifts minted by Zhou Tieyi to buy excellent slaves. They first found a tribe outside called "Pu" under the leadership of the slave warriors from the Zhulongpo tribe. On the one hand, they wanted to find out the news of the various tribes in the central plains, and at the same time, they wanted to use this peripheral tribe to pay tribute to the large tribe "Mang" in the center.

Yes, tribute.

There are many tribes in the plains, so they are not as closed and backward as the marginal tribes, and communication is also a normal thing here.

Therefore, a relatively complete tribute system has evolved here. Although the largest tribe in the central region, "Mang", cannot completely unify the entire plain, the various tribes in this plain can pay tribute to the Mang tribe in exchange for its protection.

After giving the Pu tribe enough benefits, the Pu tribe kept its promise and brought the witch wood to the Mang tribe, and was received by the witch of the Mang tribe.

Before being received today, Wu Mu had already summarized all the information he had learned and gave it to Zhou Tieyi.

As the largest tribe in the central region, the Mang tribe has a population of 30,000 people, plus slaves, totaling nearly 50,000 people. Their tribe also built something called a "city wall" to surround the buildings inside the tribe.

When Wu Mu saw the five-meter-high and three-meter-thick city wall built with huge stones, he was envious from the bottom of his heart. And when he heard the people of the Mang tribe say that in order to build this city wall, they sacrificed the lives of nearly ten thousand slaves, after hearing this, Wu Mu became even more envious, thinking that the Yanhuang tribe would also build such a powerful city wall in the future.

In the center of the tribe, the witch and the chief of the Mang tribe were discussing something, and in front of them lay a box of golden copper coins and several war drums with special powers.

The leader of the Mang tribe said, "Since their tribe is good at making copper coins and war drums, why don't we just attack their tribe and take them as slaves?"

The witch of the Mang tribe frowned and said, "This is not good. They came to pay tribute to us in exchange for slaves and protection. According to the rules we told the surrounding tribes, we should give them protection instead of attacking them."

The leader of the Mang tribe sneered, "Rules? Haven't we set them all along? And they are too greedy..."

The leader of the Mang tribe bent down and held a handful of golden copper coins. He really liked these exquisite gadgets, but the Yanhuang tribe actually wanted to exchange these gadgets for 500 strong slaves. How was this possible?

Wu still objected, "We don't know anything about the Yanhuang tribe that suddenly appeared. We only know that they were able to defeat the Zhulongpo tribe in a few days. We don't know what kind of existence their gods are. It's better to test them through this banquet first."

"The Pig Cage Tribe, what kind of rubbish is that? They can't even enter the plains!"

The leader of the Mang tribe thought about it and said, "Okay, but if the people of their tribe are vulnerable in front of us, then you must ask God for permission to attack their tribe."

In this era, it is very simple to judge the strength of a tribe by the tribe's warriors, because the warriors are the followers of God, and the strength of the warriors depends entirely on the strength of God.
