Chapter 20 Chapter 126 Yongle Bell

A huge pit with a depth of nearly ten meters consists of a seven-section outer mold (when casting bronzes in ancient China, it generally consists of an outer mold and an inner mold. The outer mold is made according to the outer objects of the utensils, and is often divided into several pieces, also known as a combined mold. Fan. The inner fan is a fan heart that is smaller than the outer fan.) They are connected in sequence, shaped like a seven-level pagoda. The production of the big clock Neifan took the longest time. First, the most famous calligrapher in the world was invited to transcribe all the scriptures and the clock sequence written by Zhu Di himself, as well as the Twelve Great Wishes.

The craftsmen then designed the car scraper mold according to the radius and thickness of different sections of the bell body, coated it with fine mud evenly, and pasted the rice paper with scriptures on the fine mud layer, and nearly 230,000 characters of scriptures The text is engraved into Yin characters one by one (the characters engraved on the template are called Yin characters or Yin Yin.), and then the template is heated and fired to form a pottery model. The outer frame of the big bell is divided into seven sections because of the huge body of the bell. After molding, it is dried in the shade at low temperature, baked into pottery, and then spliced. Fire escape (during the pouring process, part of the metal liquid flows out from the parting surface of the mold, which causes a serious depression in the upper part of the casting, which is called fire escape.), resulting in casting failure.

The entire cave wall around the outer fan was compacted with layers of plant ash and composite soil, otherwise it could not withstand the strong pressure generated in the process of casting such a huge bell. Today is a trial casting. First, cast a bell that is exactly the same as the Yongle Great Bell. The only difference is that there will be no scriptures on the inner wall of this bell, because the one that takes the longest time to make and takes the most effort is engraved with scriptures. Once the casting fails, the inner mold will be destroyed, so it will not be used during trial casting.

There are four casting ports on the huge pit, and the four long troughs of clay extend all the way to the high place, connecting dozens of melting furnaces together. The flames are raging, and the heat wave above the melting furnace makes the sky above the bell foundry The air in the sky is distorted. When looking up at the clouds in the sky, there will be a feeling of rippling like the reflection in the water. Below the furnace, countless craftsmen are adding coal to the furnace with shovels, and some people are blowing wind into the furnace desperately to ensure that the temperature of the furnace is always kept at the highest level. Doing the final preparations before firing the furnace.

In the dozens of melting furnaces leading to the four casting troughs, the contents of various metal components such as gold, silver, copper, iron, tin, lead, zinc, silicon, and magnesium added are exactly the same, and the original weighing was accurate. The standard of money is a forty-six-ton ​​giant clock, and the metal composition in each furnace is actually accurate to a pound of one tael (a coin is about 3.75 grams today). The emperor, his relatives, and all civil and military officials stood on the tower of Deshengmen in the distance, watching the heat wave rising, and watching the tens of thousands of people working nervously around the dozens of blast furnaces.

Although today is a trial casting, everyone is very nervous. This is an unprecedented giant bell. There is no ready-made experience in smelting and casting. If this trial casting fails, you have to carefully study the defects of each link and start from scratch. If you try to find out, you don't know when you will have to wait. If the trial casting is successful, the real Yongle bell can naturally come out at any time. Fire up! A loud shout suddenly sounded on the busy but unusually quiet construction site, a large flag from high above fell down with a bang, dozens of furnaces were opened at the same time, the heat wave soared into the sky, the fire flowed gold, and the iron juice boiled .Zhu Di involuntarily took a few quick steps forward, stood with his hand on the plate wall, and held his breath to watch.

Zhu Gaosui, Zhu Zhanji, Xia Xun, Ji Gang and others rushed forward at the same time. Song Li, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, looked at the deep pit with a tense face. The furnace is pure green, the flames are soaring to the sky, golden flowers are splashing, copper juice is gushing, and floods of metallization rush in from one furnace after another, pouring into the long horizontal lines of clay, and you can see four shocking torrents of fiery red rolling towards the deep pit The internal and external models in the pit have been preheated at high temperature at the same time. When the tens of thousands of dendrobium gold soups filled with the hearth rushed and poured into the pit, the great bell was cast in one go.The estimation of the gold liquid is very accurate, it can be filled with mud, and the gold liquid overflows slightly, and the gold liquid no longer flows out of dozens of melting furnaces.

On the city wall, many court officials couldn't help cheering, but the black face of Song Li, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, was still bluffing, staring forward nervously, without the slightest hint of joy.Soon, others discovered Song Li's appearance and knew whether the casting was successful or not. It was too early to tell at this time, and they couldn't help becoming nervous. The first step of casting did not explode or escape, which was a great success, but it is still too early to say whether a big bell will be cast, and the subsequent cooling process is also a fatal hurdle.

Now there is a mass of unextinguished ground fire and flowing flames in the clay fan. The cooling rate must be strictly controlled to prevent the bell body from bursting. The world-famous Russian bell cast in the 18th century turned into a mouthful because of a problem with the cooling process. Can only look at dumb clocks that cannot be struck. At this time, the pit where the Yongle Bell was bred was still a completely natural automatic cooling system, and the technical difficulty was even higher. Craftsmen must always pay attention to the cooling process of the bell, and take some measures at any time to slow down or increase the cooling rate of the bell. .

This process was very long, and all the craftsmen were nervously busy. Song Li watched nervously for a long time, until a craftsman came to him and whispered something, then he let out a long breath and walked to Zhu Di. Beside him, he cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, let's go to the tower to drink tea and rest for a while."There should be no problem with the cooling of the big clock. Now, just wait for the body of the clock to cool down completely, and test its sound! Zhu Di nodded, suppressing his nervousness, and returned to the tower. All the ministers offered their seats, tea and snacks were served, everyone ate and chatted freely, and waited for the big clock to cool down.The tense mood of the people was relieved a little, but the final step of the test was still unknown, and everyone's hearts were still in suspense.

If it is an ordinary bell, if the sound of the bell is deviated, it doesn’t matter as long as it is not too outrageous. After the bell is cast, it can be tuned by grinding, scraping, etc., and this giant bell is full of scriptures, and grinding and scraping will definitely destroy it. The scriptures must be formed at one time. In this case, if the tone is not beautiful and the bell is not loud enough, it cannot be adjusted in the later stage, and it can only become a useless bell. After a long time, the craftsman rushed in to report that the body of the clock had completely cooled down. The emperor and all the ministers walked out of the tower one after another.Around the huge pit, a huge bracket has long been set up, eight huge pillars, supporting a trapezoidal frame, dozens of iron cables hang down from this frame, and the bell buttons are tied. There were more than ten horses tied together, and seeing the emperor appearing at the top of the city, someone waved his whip and shouted loudly, more than a hundred horses rushed out at the same time, and the huge clock that had been removed from the clay mold soared into the sky with a loud bang. The giant clock slowly rose from the bottom of the pit. The giant clock, which had been removed from the clay mold, was covered with a dignified luster of metal, thick and simple, and even the slight shaking seemed to be powerful. Song Li swallowed nervously, turned to look at Zhu Di, Zhu Di fixedly stared at the huge bell, and waved his hand heavily after a long time, saying decisively: Strike the bell! when With a roar, the melodious bells immediately spread to the sky and the earth. Suddenly, all the sounds stopped, and everyone listened to the bell with bated breath. The thick humming carried a solemn and sacred atmosphere for a long time. The sound of the bell flew into the sky, poured into the nine cities, and shook everyone's heart. Gradually, everyone's face was full of smiles. Xia Xun secretly calculated that after this collision, the bell continued to ring for as long as three minutes. The sound of the bell gradually weakened, and Zhu Di suddenly burst out laughing. His laughter became louder and louder. All the civil and military officials bowed down and said in unison: "God bless Daming, congratulations to the emperor!" Zhu Di laughed, waved his big hand, and said happily: "Reward!"All those who participated in casting bells will be rewarded! At this moment, Mu En climbed up the city wall like a groundhog awakened by the bell, and looked here Zhu Di looked at the thing in his hand, and the more he looked at it, the more angry he became, because the joy brought by the success of casting the bell had been swept away. Investigation by the East Police Factory: Ji Younan, Ji Gang's confidant, was instigated by Ji Gang when he was serving as the governor of Nanzhen. He intercepted a large number of new-style guns and weapons and armor, and hid them in Ji Gang's private house.Sai Hazhi, commander of the Jinyiwei, and Liu Yujue, the governor of Jinyiwei's southern township, attached Ji Gang's record of obtaining weapons and armor from the Military Weapons Bureau and the list of witnesses. East Jiji Factory Investigated: Salt merchants in Lianghuai Saltworks, Anfeng Saltworks, Shangji Saltworks and other places reported: Ji Gang’s party member Shen Wendu brought Ji Gang’s edict to fetch salt from the saltworks, and the demand was endless. He had been asking for salt for several years, worth hundreds of millions, Pan Qinian and others from the Lianghuai Salt Field are attached as witnesses and a copy of Ji Gang Jiaozhao. Investigation by Dongji Incident Factory: Over the years, Ji Gang has used his power to requisition water transport ships without authorization to transport private goods for him, and the proceeds are privately pocketed.Chen Xuan, Governor of Water Transport of the Ming Dynasty, attached personal and physical evidence. Investigation by the Dongji Incident Factory: Ji Gang took advantage of the convenience of the investigation of hundreds of officials and the investigation of conspiracy to frame and blackmail hundreds of wealthy businessmen in the south of the Yangtze River. witnesses and physical evidence. Dongji Police Factory investigation: the governor Xue Lu took a concubine, Ji Gang saw the beauty of the woman, and he couldn't get it, he was very angry.Governor Xue Lu, whose official position was above Ji Gang, was a meritorious official of Jing Nan, but he was afraid of Ji Gang's power, so he had to swallow his anger. Investigation by the East Police Factory: Ji Gang is in charge of the imperial palace's selection process, privately retains the draftees and puts them in a private house for enjoyment, and is now Ji Gang Ji's concubine. Dongji Incident Factory investigation: Ji Gang castrated more than a hundred young children from good families, and filled them into the back house to serve the family members in their daily lives. The East Police Force checks: Zhu Di watched, his hands trembling uncontrollably, his face became more and more tense, and his face became more and more blue, like the color of gold and iron emitted by the big bell cast for oral examination. Why false preaching of imperial edicts, raising eunuchs, retaining beautiful women, and oppressing ministers?Why?I trust him so much, why can he be so lawless!In his eyes, what am I? One pile, one piece, was like a slap in the face of Zhu Di! Zhu Di never imagined that the person he had always trusted and protected could be so lawless, and he was unaware that he always regarded Ji Gang as an infinitely reliable and available minister. At this moment, what is in his heart is only anger and pain, and what's more, the shame and endless annoyance of being blinded! For a long time, in Zhu Di's mind, Ji Gang may be a little too keen on utilitarianism, but how can there be a perfect person in the world? In his mind, Ji Gang has always been the most well-behaved, obedient, and considerate courtier. Although Ji Gang is not as good as Xie Jin's literary talent, Yang Rong's political ability, Zhang Fu's military achievements, and Xia Xun's talent and strategy, But he is the most able to understand Shang's intentions, and he is completely obedient! Unexpectedly, I thought it was a loyal watchdog, but it turned out to be an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf! Ha ha ha ha Zhu Di laughed in grief and indignation, and then slammed an iron fist on the imperial case like a heavy hammer: Bang! Zhu Di's eyes were red, and he roared sharply: "Ji Gang thief, how dare you bully me like this!" Xia Xun argued with Emperor Yongle that he was right in demanding that Ji Gang be severely punished, and Ji Gang knew the next day. At that time, he was in Tianjin Wei. It was the beginning of spring, and the construction of Jinyiwei Yamen had begun. He had to be present, and he couldn't stay by the emperor's side all day. Few things can be hidden from him. After hearing the news, Ji Gang felt great hatred.However, the emperor's obvious protection made him let go of his mind. As long as the emperor has no intention of punishing him, who else can do anything to win him? Although he let go of his thoughts, his hatred for Xia Xun intensified several times. Ji Gang was originally a master who must take revenge, so he gritted his teeth and wanted to pay back immediately. But it was not easy for Xia Xun to overthrow him, and it was even more difficult for him to overthrow Xia Xun. He had tried every trick before but failed.Now Xia Xun is more favored and trusted than before, how to deal with it? After thinking about it, Ji Gang felt that only by starting from the king's taboo, would it be possible to bring down Xia Xun. Ji Gang racked his brains and carefully planned for two days, and finally came up with a poisonous plan to hook up with Arutai and frame Xia Xun. Although Arutai is now a toothless tiger, he has already surrendered to the Tatar tribe in Liaodong. Can command some people. Use this power to use Xia Xun's banner to attract people's hearts, and then plant Xia Xun backhandedly. As long as you operate skillfully and cleanly, Xia Xun vigorously cultivates cronies in Liaodong, and the charge of developing personal armed forces will never be cleared. Even if the emperor I don't believe it completely, as long as I have suspicions in my heart Ji Gang grinned grinningly, and immediately laid out paper and ink, intending to draw up a detailed plan and send people to Liaodong to implement it.Ji Gang rolled up his sleeves, just picked up a piece of incense ink, when there was a bang, his housekeeper rushed in through the door. Ji Gang was startled, but before he could ask a question, the steward said hastily: "My lord, there are many officials coming from outside." Before he could say the word Bing, he yelled loudly, flew out with claws and teeth, and threw himself on a screen facing the door, knocked the screen down, fell to the ground and couldn't get up. Ji Gang was furious, stood up suddenly, and shouted sharply: Who is presumptuous! There was an official boot at the door, and the official boot was hanging in the air, as if asking him to appreciate it, it stopped for a while, then shook it slightly, and stretched its ankle.Black satin, white top, exquisite workmanship, high-quality workmanship, probably worth two pennies.The official boots were slowly put down, and a person walked in slowly. This person is not amazing, with a smile on his face, but he is wearing a brocade fish suit, which is particularly dazzling. Ji Gang's eyes shrank, and an ominous feeling suddenly arose, and he said in a deep voice: "Chen Dong? clatter There was a sound of hurried footsteps, and more than a dozen men wearing pointed hats, white leather boots, brown jackets, and red belts rushed in, holding knives, flails, or chains, and surrounded Chen Dong. At that time, the study was packed to the brim. Ji Gang!You committed a crime!The criminal officer in this post is sent by the emperor to bring you to justice! Ji Gang was startled and angry, and asked, "What crime did I commit?" Chen Dong plucked his ears lazily, and said with a smile: Do you still need to ask me what crime you committed?Could it be that you have committed all kinds of crimes, and you can't even remember what crimes you have committed? After Chen Dong finished speaking, his face darkened, and he shouted sharply: "Take him down!" As soon as Ji Gang shook his arms, seven or eight sharp steel knives were placed on his body. Ji Gang thought about it, suppressed his anger, gave up resistance, and the iron chain clattered onto his shoulder. Ji Gang really didn't know what he had committed. It was impossible to resist, and it was even more impossible to talk nonsense. He had done too many evil things. God knows which thing was stabbed to the imperial court. Once he said the wrong thing, wouldn't he automatically Expose weaknesses.Right now, I can only tie my hands together, wait until the imperial court, know the truth about being arrested, and then explain to the emperor. But when he was brought to the front hall and saw two concubines, Qingmo and Yinhe, and two eunuchs, Xiaodu and Wang Xiaoxiao, his expression changed.He noticed that the countless fans didn't just let it go, they were still searching up and down the mansion, it seemed that they would never stop until they turned the mansion upside down, and Ji Gang's heart sank to the bottom. If it hadn't been for conclusive evidence and the emperor had already convicted him, how could he have copied his home? The two concubines, Qingmo and Yinhe, and the two eunuchs Xiaodu and Xiaoxiao were taken to the front hall first. Could it be that the emperor knew about the interception of a beautiful girl and eunuch without authorization? Ji Gang was thinking wildly, and the more he thought about it, the paler his face became. The only hope right now is to wait to see the emperor.Ji Gang's eyes rolled wildly, wondering if he would act pitiful and play the emotional card after seeing the emperor, or cry to show off his hard work and credit, or plead guilty crying bitterly, swearing to change his mind. But he was disappointed, he was directly put into the Xingbu prison, and the emperor never saw him! The criminal evidence collected by Mu En is unmistakable, not only there are human witnesses and physical evidence, but also there are so many court officials involved in it, how can there be any reason for false accusation in this matter, is there even a deliberate interrogation? Even so, Zhu Di still had a sliver of fantasy, but when he saw the two beautiful girls Qingmo and Yinhe, and the two eunuchs Xiaodu and Xiaoxiao who were terrified like little quails, this last sliver of fantasy It also burst like a bubble. In his left hand, he held Ji Gang Jiaozhao's warrant for extorting salt from Lianghuai salt merchants, and in his right hand, he held Ji Gang's personal letter from Jin Yiwei, who was caught by Mu En from Shen Wendu's house. Lin's verbal and pen criticism of Xia Xun's methods, and then looking at Qingmo, Yinhe, Xiaodu and Xiaoxiao in front of him, Zhu Di finally smiled. Zhu Di smiled so helplessly, he hid his disappointment, pain and anger deep in his heart, leaving only a helpless wry smile on his face. Putting down the two pieces of evidence, Zhu Di slowly picked up the ink pen, which seemed to be very heavy. The imperial pen moistened the cinnabar, and Zhu Di remained silent for a long time before he resolutely ticked off Mu En's memorial. The pen is strong, piercing through the back of the paper, the stroke is like a hook, and it is as red as blood! Kuang! The heavy cell door opened, and Ji Gang sat in a cell, motionless. At first, but if there was a little trouble, he would rush to the fence and wait for the emperor's order. Even if the emperor wanted to interrogate himself, it would be better than being locked in prison like this, but he was disappointed again and again. This time, the cell door opened again, but he was already numb. The footsteps stopped in front of his cell, and then there was a clatter, and the sound of keys came. Ji Gang slowly raised his head and looked at the cell door, and saw four Dongchang Fans wearing pointed hats and white boots Standing at the door, like the four little ghosts in the palace of the king of hell, Ji Gang felt hot: Is the emperor finally going to interrogate me? Deshengmen was called Jiandemen in Yuan Dynasty. The Deshengmen Archery Tower stands on the city platform more than four feet high. It has gray tiles, green trimmed edges and double eaves on the top of the mountain. , a total of eighty-two holes. Desheng faces north, and the north belongs to Xuanwu, which is the master of swordsmen. An ox cart slowly came from the city towards Deshengmen, escorting Dongchang fanzi, no less than a hundred of them, all wearing pointed hats and white boots. Crying sticks, the whole thing is a scene of a filial son going to a funeral. Not far from Deshengmen is the Bell Foundry of the Ministry of Industry of the Ming Dynasty. After the trial casting was successful, today is the time to formally cast the Yongle Bell. The ox cart stopped in the bell foundry, and a man was torn off from the cart. His hands were tightly tied behind his back with ox tendons, and a black belt was covered over his eyes. As soon as the man stood still, a fan gave him a hard shove and shouted: "Let's go!" Putting two hands on his shoulders, she pushed him forward. Ji Gang's eyes were blindfolded, he couldn't see anything, he just walked forward in a daze, walking when he was asked to go, stopping when he was asked to stop, circling around. At this time, he was walking up one step at a time, Ji Gang thought to himself: Is this going up to the Golden Palace?No, remember the steps are not that steep 1st, 2nd, 10th, 20th Ji Gang was even more surprised: How can there be such a high step on the Golden Palace, where is this? He has already noticed that the steps under his feet are a bit soft, and there will be a sound when he steps on them. These are wooden steps, not the stone steps of the Golden Palace.At the same time, he felt waves of heat rushing toward his face. It was still early spring, and the heat waves were actually much hotter than the scorching summer. Suddenly, the two hands on the shoulders strengthened slightly, causing him to stop, and then the blindfold was removed, and the sound of footsteps behind him made his escort back away. The glare of the sun made Ji Gang narrow his eyes first.The moment he narrowed his eyes, he saw a person standing opposite him, who was very familiar, very familiar. He squinted, and the portrait in front of him gradually became clear. Ji Gang couldn't help but widen his eyes in astonishment, and the person standing in front of him was actually his old friend Xia Xun.Then he noticed that there was a group of gangsters standing far away, with Mu En standing in the middle, and before he could cast a glance at the dead eunuch who ruined his future, Ji Gang changed his expression of astonishment. Only then did he notice that he was standing on a high platform. There were two blast furnaces on the left and right, separated by three feet, and there was a platform made of gravel and yellow mud. The heat wave was still rolling in. It seemed as if his hair and eyebrows were going to be scorched and curled, and he could even smell the fuzzy smell of hair.here seems to be Ji Gang looked around blankly, and then looked at Xia Xun who was standing opposite, suddenly felt an inexplicable fear in his heart, he hissed to Xia Xun who was standing opposite: Why am I here?Where is the emperor, I want to see the emperor! Xia Xun looked at Ji Gang calmly, shook his head slightly, and slowly unfolded an imperial edict in his hand expressionlessly. As soon as Ji Gang saw the imperial decree, he immediately knew something was wrong, and involuntarily backed away three steps. Xia Xun didn't tell him to kneel down, unfolded the imperial decree and began to read in a low voice: "Feng Tian Chengyun Emperor, the edict said: According to the reports of Mu En and others from the Dongji Incident Factory, Ji Gang deceived the emperor, disrespected, exceeded his authority, usurped, pretended, corrupted ink, and blackmailed him." , Using eunuchs, hiding beautiful women, hiding weapons, bullying ministers, disregarding shame, having no father and no king, all kinds of specialties, too many to list, why are you so mad! It was as hot as midsummer on the high platform, but Ji Gang's face was completely drained of color, and the cold sweat dripped down, and beads of sweat the size of soybeans fell to the ground. Immediately afterwards, Xia Xun described his major crimes one by one, a total of eighteen major crimes and twenty-four minor crimes. Don't pay attention to the past, and do harm to the future, and those who have done it will not be punished.There are all kinds of proofs!How can I not know the rewards and punishments?Ji Gang's crimes are heinous, and he should have been ordered to go to the city Cao on the day he was hooked up.Thinking of his merits of calming difficulties, he couldn't bear to be tortured any more. After listening to his decree, he jumped into the furnace and committed suicide. His flesh and blood melted into the bell, and he will be a warning to future generations forever!This! Xia Xun finished reading the imperial decree, slowly put it away, and looked up at Ji Gang.Ji Gang's face was ashen and dull, as if he didn't hear the words behind at all, his disheveled hair was fluttering because of the heat wave, making him look even more insane, like a beggar. Xia Xun narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Ji Gang, did you hear clearly?" Ji Gang's eyes shifted for a moment, he slowly raised his head, and said dreamily: "Is there no crime of Liaodong?" Xia Xun let out a sigh of relief, raised his eyes slowly, higher than Ji Gang's, looked at the sky that was rhythmic like water under the heat, and said lightly: If you declare your crime in Liaodong, it will arouse public resentment and damage the imperial order Yu, if you risk your life to death, don't you want to commit endless sins? Xia Xun smiled softly, lowered her eyes again, looked at Ji Gang, and said word for word: Don't worry!The heroic spirits of the soldiers who died in vain are watching you in the sky. Your sins are not exposed to the world, and they can see them too! Hehe, I lost!Yang Xu, after fighting with you for more than ten years, I finally lost Ji Gang's desolate voice was as ethereal as a ghost: Why bother?Why do you insist on blocking my way, why do you insist on making life difficult for me!Killing me, what good will it do you? Ji Gang smiled nervously, and looked at Xia Xun resentfully: Are you very proud?You think this is a great disaster for the country and the people, don't you?Hehe, if you kill a thousand people, you will hurt yourself by eight hundred!Yang Xu, you've been smart all your life, but you know that getting rid of me in such a hurry won't do you any good? Xia Xun twitched her eyebrows: Oh? Ji Gang's eyes flashed with viciousness, and he said: "When the emperor gets over his anger, do you think he will think, why you Yang Xu want to kill Ji Gang and seek justice for the Liaodong soldiers, there will be so many people right away, give it to me." Have you found out so many crimes? Ji Gang stared at Xia Xun, his eyes were a little crazy: Dongji Incident Factory, Jinyiwei, Metropolitan Procuratorate, Lianghuai Salt Merchant, and Governor Xue Lu were all driven by you, and you are incomparable in Liaodong. Popularity Ji Gang laughed wildly a few times, and said to Xia Xun: Do you think the emperor will be afraid of this?Even if the emperor is confident that he can hold you down, but the emperor is old, will he worry that his descendants will not be able to hold you down?Yang Xu, Yang Xu, you are so smart! Xia Xun smiled faintly, and said in a low voice: The ancients said that when a person is about to die, his words are also kind. I wonder if Brother Ji is giving advice to Yang, or is he trying to stir up my demons? Ji Gang's eyes were faintly ferocious: What do you think? Xia Xun smiled again, and said calmly: "Okay, then I'll take it as advice to me. From now on, when the bell rings every day, I will remember Brother Ji's earnest teaching!" Xia Xun breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the sky, and said: "It's getting late, Brother Ji should be on the road, if you want, do you want Brother to give you a ride?" unnecessary! Ji Gang struggled with his arms, because the beef tendon was a little dry under the heat, and there was a creaking sound as he struggled. Ji is a hero in life, and a ghost in death!Wouldn't it be a joy to be able to be integrated with the great bell of Yongle and live forever in the world?Ha ha!Ha ha Ji Gang laughed wildly and strode towards the melting furnace! At this moment, what came to his mind was the scenes of Putai County, Daming Lake, Jinling City, and Cimu Mountain, where he and Yang Xu were fighting side by side. A thought suddenly came to his mind: If I could go back ten years, would I take a completely different life path? Won't!Won't!I am Ji Gang, I have my own way!If you live a hundred years, you are not dead, so I live happily!Ha ha ha ha The furnace mouth is approaching, and there is still a distance of nearly ten feet. The heat is already so hot that people even have to close their nostrils, and their eyes are painfully burned.Ji Gang's crazily laughing stopped in a suffocation. With a loud roar, he suddenly exerted force on his feet and leaped forward with all his strength. It slammed down like a stone. There was a scream and a puff of smoke. When the blue smoke floated to the mouth of the furnace, it was already very faint.
