(Hey, hello, what an evil title. Is this considered headline-making?)
Seeing the sudden appearance of Mr. and Mrs. Li in front of him, Li Zexuan was quite speechless. The old Li family had a habit of sneaking into other people's homes~! Last time in the workshop, Li Chengqian was like this too~!
Li Zexuan watched a lot of costume TV dramas in his previous life, in which many emperors liked to go on tour incognito. Unexpectedly, Li Er also liked to play such vulgar tricks. Seeing that he and Empress Changsun were dressed in regular clothes, people who didn't know probably thought they were just a couple. For an ordinary couple, right~?
"Everything in the world is not the king's land, and the shores of the land are not the king's ministers!"
Perhaps this idea has been deeply ingrained in Li Er's mind. He felt that the entire Tang Dynasty belonged to him, and it was okay to leave the palace incognito and visit the ministers' homes like this.
As for eavesdropping, he definitely didn't eavesdrop on purpose, it was just a coincidence.
Li Zexuan was too absorbed in his memories just now, otherwise he would definitely have noticed someone outside the house in advance.
"I see your Majesty~!"
Li Zexuan bowed his hands to Li Er, who was "looking at him eagerly".
"Stop talking nonsense~! Answer me quickly~! Is the place you just mentioned a fairyland~?"
Li Er was unmoved and still asked.
Empress Changsun pulled Li Er's arm with some worry. She, who had always been shrewd, was now very worried that her husband would be "possessed". Since ancient times, how many wise saints have become incompetent because of pursuing those illusory immortal ways. , in severe cases, even wives and children are separated, the country is destroyed and the family is destroyed!
As an important minister of the empire, Yan Lide did not have such worries. He opened his mouth, but due to the power that Li Er exuded at the moment, he could only swallow the words that came to his lips, and at the same time secretly prayed in his heart that Li Zexuan would not mess up. Say some words that charm your heart.
"Back to Your Majesty~! This is just my dream, not a fairyland~!"
Feeling Li Er's urgent and bloodthirsty gaze, Li Zexuan also secretly regretted what he had just pretended to be, and he didn't expect to attract the wolf.
Never doubt the pursuit of immortality by ancient emperors. These people have reached the pinnacle of power in the world and have no desire for worldly wealth. The only thing they want is eternal life, and for this they do not hesitate to become tyrants~!
"Is it really just a dream~?"
Li Er asked reluctantly.
"It's absolutely true~!"
"But you just said that you can no longer tell which world is a dream and which world is reality. There was Zhuang Zhou dreaming of a butterfly before, who couldn't tell the difference between dreams and reality, and eventually became one of the two sages of Taoism. Now you have dreamed of such a real and bizarre world. Fairyland, so I want to know if the fairyland really exists~?"
(Zhuangzi was the first to put forward the idea of "inner sage and outer king", which had a profound impact on Confucianism. His "three sounds" thought was consistent with the three talents in the "Book of Changes", so he and Laozi were both called Laozi and Zhuangzi. The two were worshiped. (the second sage of Taoism)
Li Er stared into Li Zexuan's eyes and asked word for word. As long as Li Zexuan tells a lie, Li Er is confident that he can tell it with his ability to read countless people.
"Your Majesty, even if the world in my dream really exists, I dare to conclude that it is definitely not a fairyland~!"
Li Zexuan directly stopped Li Er's thoughts and affirmed.
"Why~?"
"Because the people in that world are the same as us. They are all mortal bodies. They can get sick, hungry, thirsty, injured, and can also grow old, sick, and die. Although the average life span of the people there is twenty or thirty years longer than that of the people of the Tang Dynasty. , but it is definitely not immortal! How can a world without immortals be an immortal world~? "
Li Zexuan did not flinch, looked directly at Li Er, and said in a deep voice.
"But you just said that people from another world can soar above the nine heavens, dive under the depth of a hundred feet, transmit sounds from thousands of miles away, and even look at each other from thousands of miles away. How can a mortal be able to do this~?"
Li Er still didn't want to believe it, he retorted.
"Your Majesty, don't look at the other world too mysteriously. In my opinion, the reason why they are able to do that is just by borrowing some tools. Their engineering has developed to the extreme, and is a hundred times more advanced than our Tang Dynasty. That's why they can Make those amazing tools!"
"You mean those tools are all based on engineering~?"
Li Er said in disbelief.
Li Zexuan pretended to sigh deeply and said:
"Now that things have happened, I have told the truth! The engineering studies I proposed earlier include new mathematics, electricity, magnetic fields, and electromagnetism. My master only taught me a small part of these subjects, and the rest were all in my dreams. What I learned. In other words, Chen’s engineering studies belong to the world of dreams.”
"Learned in dreams~?"
Li Er's eyes widened and his breathing became rapid. He murmured: "No wonder I always felt that your boy's knowledge did not belong to this world. You can even create something similar to lightning~! Now it seems , as expected~!”
"Your Majesty, in that world, people call the ability to create new things technology, and engineering is the most important branch of technology. The telegraph machine I built earlier can theoretically transmit messages over thousands of miles. If it is used here With a slight modification on the basics, sound transmission over thousands of miles is definitely not a problem~! This is the ironclad proof that that world is definitely not a fairyland~! If I can develop my engineering skills to the extreme, I, the Tang Dynasty, can one day create tools similar to those in that world. ! When the time comes, flying into the sky and into the sea will definitely not be an unattainable dream for ordinary people~!"
Li Zexuan feels that his on-the-spot explanation today is perfect. In this way, if he invents something awesome in the future, he will no longer have to tell others that his master taught him. Sooner or later, he will always use his master to brag. Something will happen, because some things are too far ahead of this era. In Longhu Mountain Tianshi Dao, there are several elders who spend a lot of time in contact with Master Lingxu. If Li Er feels something is wrong and sends someone to investigate carefully, the secret will definitely be revealed.
And if he says this, Li Er will definitely pay more attention to engineering and him. This can be regarded as a protective umbrella for himself and engineering!
"I see~! I see~! In this way, all the mysteries can be explained~! Engineering, what an engineering study~!"
Li Er's face was complicated and incomprehensible. He, who had always been wise and decisive, didn't know how to treat Li Zexuan at this moment. Things were now beyond his control.
After a long time, he said sternly to Li Zexuan: "Yanhuang Academy, you boy, please do it for me~! I hope that in my lifetime, I can climb up to the sky ten thousand feet high to see if there are any gods on it~! I want the kind of person who can live in the sky~" For a long car that travels thousands of miles and carries thousands of people, I also need a tool that can transmit sounds thousands of miles! In this case, who else in the world is my opponent~!"
Li Zexuan was sweating. He really wanted to say: "Old Li, don't you want a little too much~!"
