Chapter 278: The Stinky Academy of Chemistry

"See Your Highness!" As soon as the person in front of the School of Chemistry saw Li Su, he immediately greeted him with a smile on his face. ,!

"Why is Brother Chunfeng here?" Li Su asked with some surprise. This person is Li Chunfeng, the Taishi Ling, but he is engaged in mathematics and astronomy, how did he come to this chemistry college?

Unexpectedly, when Li Chunfeng heard Li Su's question, he looked at Yuan Tiangang next to him and smiled: "How did Your Highness forget, Chunfeng is also a member of the Dao Sect, and this Dao Academy is opened by Master Yuan, as a disciple, I naturally have to contribute my own strength!" ”

"Uh~" Li Su was stunned after hearing this, although Li Chunfeng was an official worshipping Taishi Ling, he was indeed a Taoist priest, but he spent more time wearing official clothes than wearing Taoist clothes, so Li Su had long forgotten Li Chunfeng's identity as a Taoist priest.

In fact, it is not to blame Li Su, the Taoist priests of this era in the Tang Dynasty are completely different from the kind of Taoist priests in later generations, and it can even be said that there are no real professional Taoist priests in this era of the Tang Dynasty, all Taoist priests are part-time, and when they usually do not wear Taoist robes, they are just ordinary people, and they can marry wives and have children, and it is not taboo to eat meat. And those Taoist priests in Taoist temples are more like office workers in later generations, Taoist robes are their work clothes, and they can go home to share the joy of family with their families on holidays.

Of course, not everyone can do Taoist priesthood, and those who want to become Taoist priests must learn all kinds of Taoist treasures, and then pass many examinations before they can obtain the status of a Taoist priest. Because of this, there are also many talented Taoist priests, such as Sun Simiao, Yuan Tiangang, Li Chunfeng and others, all of whom are famous Taoist priests.

However, although the Taoist priest is free, it also has its own shortcomings, such as compared with the biggest opponent of Taoism, Buddhism, Taoist priests because of loose management, resulting in countless sects in Taoism, and disputes between each other, which greatly reduces the influence of Taoism, it can be said that Taoism is suppressed by Buddhism, loose management is one of the extremely important reasons, until hundreds of years later, Taoism realized this, began to learn from Buddhism, and it was from that time that there was a real professional Taoist, but unfortunately Taoism has declined at that time, It's already late.

"Brother Chunfeng, are you also interested in chemistry?" Li Su asked with some curiosity, it is not surprising that a person with a super IQ like Li Chunfeng is interested in a variety of disciplines.

"Haha~, Your Highness guessed wrong this time!" As soon as Li Yu's words fell, Yuan Tiangang next to him suddenly laughed and said, "Actually, this time I invited His Royal Highness, mainly because Chunfeng had newly developed a thing, and it just so happened that there were several achievements in the Academy of Chemistry, so Poor Dao specially invited His Royal Highness to the Taoist Academy to watch it together!" ”

Li Su finally knew the reason why Yuan Tiangang invited him, but when he heard that Li Chunfeng and the School of Chemistry had research results, he was very interested, and immediately asked, but Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang did not seem to be in a hurry, but first invited Li Su to visit the School of Chemistry.

Speaking of this chemical college, the architectural style is very similar to the teaching building of the military school, which is a very simple three-story building, but compared with the simplicity of the military school, the chemical college has some more Taoist style decoration. These three-storey teaching buildings are built with cement, but the area is not large, after all, the current steel price is not cheap, want to build these buildings, must use steel bars, the Taoist College is in the initial stage, everywhere needs money, so the purchase of steel bars is limited, naturally can not build the building too big and too high, otherwise there may be a danger of collapse.

There are many teaching buildings in the School of Chemistry, Li Su randomly went into a few buildings to take a look, and found that there were three classrooms in each building, and in each classroom sat students wearing cyan robes, these students were old and young, the biggest hair and beard were snow-white, older than the teachers who gave lectures on the stage, and the youngest was only seven or eight years old at most.

Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng also explained this situation, because in their Taoist view, age is not the standard for measuring a person, as long as there is a heart towards the Tao, no matter how old people are, they can come in and learn.

As for the teachers who were lecturing on the stage, Li Su also made a special observation, and found that most of these teachers were wearing formal Taoist robes and writing on a piece of wood dyed black with chalk in their hands. Since you want to teach, chalk and blackboard are naturally indispensable, and these two things have no technical content, not to mention the blackboard, chalk is just glued together with lime and other things, and it is very convenient to make.

However, this is the School of Chemistry, of course, the teaching tools cannot only be chalk and blackboards, and there are some forbidden shelves side by side on the desks of some classroom podiums, and some glass test tubes, flasks and other tools are placed on the shelves, which Li Su can think of for the time being, all of which are refined by the glass factory and provided to the School of Chemistry at a low price.

In addition to these glass products, Li Su also found some other interesting things, these things are made of different materials, some glass and some metal, most of which Li Su does not know, it is estimated that the teachers of the college themselves made or customized.

Among them, there is only one thing that Li Su knows, that is, a huge Dan furnace, which looks very similar to what Li Su has seen on TV, the gossip furnace where Taishang Laojun refines Sun Monkey. It's just that this gossip furnace is a bald Taoist teaching tool, as if it is teaching students to purify a metal, but looking at the black smoke billowing when the Dan furnace burns, Li Su, who is frightened, does not dare to approach at all, for fear that this thing will explode and hurt himself.

This is not Li Yu's blind worry, even Yuan Tiangang admitted that it is very common for the explosion furnace to appear in the alchemy process, and even death and injury are common, but they are all cultivators, and they are ready to be martyred at any time, and although the explosion furnace is dangerous, there are still very few people killed by the explosion, at most, they are injured a little, so there is no need to worry about it at all.

However, Li Su did not have Yuan Tiangang's great sentiment of martyrdom, so when he saw the burning Dan furnace, he immediately avoided it, but compared to Li Su's timidity, the bald old Taoist and all the students were very serious, sitting in a group around the Dan furnace, the bald old Taoist explained and operated at the same time, and those students were attentive to taking notes, not worrying that the two-person high time bomb in front of them would explode.

After visiting these ordinary teaching areas, Li Su followed Yuan Tiangang and walked forward, and soon arrived at an independent teaching area, which was a closed courtyard, with a relatively large teaching building in the middle, and several smaller buildings next to it, which could not be seen to have any effect for the time being.

And as soon as Li Su entered here, he immediately smelled an indescribable stench, and this stench made him feel a little familiar, as if he had smelled it somewhere?

"Your Highness, this is one of the places where teachers and students who are very interested in chemistry gather, mainly conducting research on textile materials, and now some results have been achieved, and I specially invite Your Highness to come and watch it today!" Yuan Tiangang said with a smile that he has not relaxed the research work of the School of Chemistry, after all, this is the biggest source of wealth for their Taoist College, and the expenses for the next year are all directed at the results of the School of Chemistry.

"Oh, textile materials?" Li Su's eyes lit up after hearing this, "You are really picky, the textile industry is now one of the most profitable industries, and the output of cotton is still unable to meet the demand in a short period of time, if you can really find an alternative material, it is really a lot of money." ”

When Li Su said this, he suddenly raised his head and sniffed, and suddenly showed an expression of sudden realization on his face, and said to Yuan Tiangang with a smile: "No wonder I smell this smell and am a little familiar, it turns out that you actually plan to replace cotton with wool!" ”

Yuan Tiangang saw that Li Xuan was a little clear, and laughed at the moment: "Your Highness is really smart, this courtyard is indeed studying wool as a textile material." ”

Just as Li Su and Yuan Tiangang were talking, they saw a person coming out of the teaching building they were facing them, this person was wearing a Taoist robe, and he knew at a glance that he was a teacher from the college. It's just that this teacher is really sloppy, the robe on his body is dirty and torn, and he can't even tell the color, he doesn't look very old, his greasy hair and beard haven't been taken care of for a long time, he looks messy, and even covers most of his face, making it impossible to see his appearance.

As soon as this person came out, Yuan Tiangang immediately shouted: "Shi Yichang, why don't you come and meet His Royal Highness King Qi!" ”

This Taoist with the Taoist name Shi Yi came out with his head down, it seemed that he was thinking about the problem, and when he heard Yuan Tiangang's words, he was stunned at first, and then he saw the people in the courtyard, and when he saw Li Su, who was surrounded by Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng, his eyes immediately lit up, and he walked a few steps and saluted: "Poor Dao Shi Yi, meet His Royal Highness King Qi!" ”

Although this stone is sloppy, his speech and demeanor are quite sven, but his worship almost made Li Yi faint, mainly because the smell of this person is too strong, and it is already stinky enough in this yard, but compared with the smell of this stone one, it is simply negligible.

In fact, not only Li Yi couldn't stand it, but Yuan Tiangang next to him also frowned, and Li Chunfeng had a good relationship with this Shi Yi, plus he was ** clean, so he covered his nose without any scruples and said: "Brother Shi Yi, you won't be sleeping in the sheepfold these days, this is too stinky!" ”

"Huh? Does it stink? This Shi Yiyi person didn't seem to be conscious, he raised his arm and sniffed it on his body, it is estimated that his nose has long been used to the smell on his body, so he can't smell it at all.

"Shi Yi, go and wash and change your clothes before you come, His Royal Highness King Qi wants to take a look at your research results during this time!" Yuan Tiangang also frowned and said. The first time Li Su came to their Taoist Academy, he wanted to leave a good impression on him, but he didn't expect to meet a superb person like Shi Yi. (To be continued)
