"Brother Li."
"Ganha."
"I heard the old Confucian leader say that you are the reincarnation of an immortal."
"He lied to you. If I were reincarnated as an immortal, I would have punched Fu Jinglun and kicked Tantai Jingyue."
"Brother Li, if you are the reincarnation of an immortal, why don't you invent more things from the sky to help the world survive this cold winter disaster?"
At night, in the inner courtyard of Li Garden, in front of the porch, two people sat side by side. Bai Wangyu looked up at the stars in the sky and asked questions one after another.
During the period of recuperation, I had nothing to do, so I came to Liyuan to visit, which was quite leisurely.
"It's not that simple."
On the side, Li Ziye held his chin, looked at the night sky, and said, "Let's put it this way, as a Confucian disciple, can you master all the Confucian techniques?"
"cannot."
Bai Wangyu shook his head and replied.
"That's fine then."
Li Ziye said, "The progress of civilization requires collective wisdom. If I were to do it and teach it alone, it would only be a drop in the bucket until the day I die. For example, if I want to build a generator, I have to start from scratch. I started with the most basic copper wires, rubber, and magnets. These things don't seem complicated, but it is difficult to make the specifications I want. This is the first step, and a lot of processes will follow. It’s even more difficult.”
At this point, Li Ziye paused and continued, "Ten thousand steps back, I built this thing. What about the light bulbs used for lighting, the glass that meets the specifications, the search for tungsten ore, and the smelting of tungsten metal? The production of tungsten wire and the strict vacuuming problem are all problems that cannot be solved today. In addition, the production of high-temperature resistant plastic, that is, polytetrafluoroethylene, cannot be solved. When I solve these problems, I will teach Others, I’m almost dead of old age.”
The times are different. Some of the simplest technologies are out of reach, and all have to be re-taught. It is simply a fool's errand to want one person to promote the development of civilization.
Bai Wangyu looked confused after hearing the former's words and didn't understand anything.
It's all a mess.
"Don't you understand?"
Li Ziye said with disdain, "So, just think about these things. The reincarnation of immortals is not omnipotent, unless a group of immortals reincarnate together."
"Forget it, Brother Li, just watch the trouble. If you need me to do anything, just call me." Bai Wangyu shook his head and responded.
"I'm just waiting for your words."
Li Ziye reached out and patted the former's shoulder and said, "Old Bai, when you enter the fifth realm, help me kill that crazy woman in Tantai Jingyue."
"It's too bad, I can't kill her."
Bai Wangyu smiled and said, "It's too difficult to kill a strong person of her level. If she senses that the situation is not good, she must have run away immediately. Are she still waiting for you to kill her?"
"I didn't let you kill him alone."
Li Ziye said angrily, "When the time comes, we will form a group of ten people, call all the young monks and little Mubai, and join forces to kill her."
"Your Highness Fourth?"
Bai Wangyu looked stunned, as if he had thought of something, and said, "Brother Li, do you know where the Fourth Highness is now?"
"Yes."
Li Ziye didn't hide anything, nodded and said, "I sent people to rescue him. He is recovering from his injuries. He will recover in a while."
"Why not send him back?"
Bai Wangyu asked in confusion, "Isn't the Great Shang Capital more suitable for him to recuperate?"
"Whether you are stupid or not, whether I can save him or not is a matter of our friendship. However, if I don't do anything after saving him and just send him back, there is something wrong with my brain."
Li Ziye glanced at the fool next to him and said, "The arrows from you and my sister cannot be in vain."
"don't know."
Bai Wangyu asked in confusion, "What does this have to do with whether or not to send His Highness back?"
"It matters a lot."
Li Ziye reminded, "What is the current situation of the eldest prince in the court?"
"not good."
Bai Wangyu responded, "Both the power and prestige are far less than they were a year ago."
"Yes, if Mu Bai comes back now, the situation where the three kings are fighting for the throne will be nothing more than him."
Li Ziye stretched and said, "Just wait and watch the show. I have been planning this big show in the capital for a long time, and I guarantee it will be exciting."
"Sparring two moves?"
Bai Wangyu asked sideways.
"Go away, it's midnight, I have to go to bed."
Li Ziye got up and walked towards his room.
Bai Wangyu smiled, got up and went back to his room.
Now, it is not as easy as before for him to defeat Brother Li.
The night passed.
The next day, as the sun rose in the east, a very distinguished guest came in front of Li Garden.
Prince Da Shangwen.
Among the ten martial kings of the Great Shang, he was the only royal relative.
Under the morning sun, the carriage stopped outside Li Garden. Mu Jin got out of the carriage and reached out to help Prince Wen down.
Prince Wen, who looked sick and pale, was not at all as heroic as the other nine great Shang and Wu kings.
"My lord, be careful."
Mu Jin held Prince Wen in front of her and said softly.
"It's okay, I'm not so weak that I can't even walk."
Mu Wenqing responded with a smile on his face.
In front of the house, after hearing the servant's report, Li Ziye walked quickly and greeted him personally.
"Li Ziye, a common man, has met Prince Wen."
Li Ziye stepped forward and saluted politely.
"Professor Li, there is no need to be polite."
Mu Wenqing reached out to help the person in front of him and said with a smile, "How has Professor Li considered the matter that I mentioned last time?"
"We can talk."
Li Ziye nodded and said, "Prince Wen, please come from the house."
Mu Wenqing nodded and walked toward the mansion.
Front hall.
The servants brought hot tea, and Li Ziye and Mu Wenqing sat looking at each other and quietly sipping tea.
"Li's tea is indeed good."
After a few breaths, Mu Wenqing spoke with a calm expression, "The Li family's tea-frying technique has advanced the world's tea art for at least fifty years."
"Prince Wen has given you too much praise."
Li Ziye chuckled and said, "Even if there is no Li family, there will still be the Wang family, or the Zhao family, and the Li family is not special."
"The Li family is not special, but Professor Li is special."
Mu Wenqing put down the teacup in his hand and said, "Let's get down to business. Professor Li has experienced the battle between humans and demons two years ago. He must have some understanding of the demon clan. It just so happened that a demon clan came to me and opened it. The conditions are also very tempting, but the exchange condition is Li Jiaoxi’s life. If I don’t want the things given by the demon clan, Li Jiaoxi can take them all.”
"I never thought my life would be so valuable."
Li Ziye said with emotion, "The prince is so frank and it's a bit inappropriate for the common people not to agree."
"It could be dangerous."
Mu Wenqing reminded, "Life is in danger."
"Know."
Li Ziye nodded and said, "I agree to this matter, but you have to give me some time to finish handling the matters in the capital."
"Very important?"
Mu Wenqing picked up the tea, took another sip, and asked.
"Very important."
Li Ziye nodded and responded.
"good."
Mu Wenqing thought for a while and said, "Where the demon clan is, I can stabilize it first, and you can do things as soon as possible."
"Your Majesty, I want to know why."
Li Ziye said seriously, "The prince obviously has a better choice."
"Collude with the demon clan to cure my frail body?"
Mu Wenqing smiled calmly and said, "It's not necessary. I don't want to become a half-human, half-demon monster. It's enough to live a lifetime."
