Chapter 278 The smelly Chemistry School

"See you, Your Highness!" When the man in front of the Chemistry School saw Li Min, he immediately came over with a smile on his face...

"Brother Chunfeng, why are you here?" Li Min asked in surprise. This person is Li Chunfeng, Taishi Ling, but he is engaged in mathematics and astronomy, so why did he end up in this chemistry college?

Unexpectedly, when Li Chunfeng heard Li Min's question, he looked at Yuan Tiangang next to him and smiled: "Why did your highness forget that Chunfeng is also a member of the Taoist sect, and this Taoist academy was founded by Master Yuan.

As a disciple, I naturally have to contribute my share!"

"Uh~" Li Min was stunned after hearing this. Although Li Chunfeng was worshiped as Taishi Ling, he was indeed a Taoist priest. However, he spent more time wearing official uniforms than Taoist uniforms, so Li Min had long forgotten Li Chunfeng's identity as a Taoist priest.

.

In fact, I don’t blame Li Min. The Taoist priests in the Tang Dynasty were completely different from the Taoist priests in later generations. It can even be said that there were no real professional Taoist priests in the Tang Dynasty. All Taoist priests were part-time and did not wear Taoist robes.

At that time, he was an ordinary person, and he could marry a wife and have children, and meat and fish were not tabooed. The Taoist priests in Taoist temples were more like office workers in later generations. Taoist robes were their work clothes, and they could go home to enjoy their family life with their families during holidays.

joy.

Of course, not everyone can be a Taoist priest. Those who want to be a Taoist priest must learn various Taoist scriptures, and then pass numerous examinations before they can obtain the status of a Taoist priest. Because of this, there are many talents among Taoist priests.

For example, Sun Simiao, Yuan Tiangang, Li Chunfeng and others are all Taoist priests who are famous throughout the ages.

However, although being a Taoist priest is free, it also has its own shortcomings. For example, compared with Buddhism, Taoism's biggest rival, Taoist priests have loose management, resulting in numerous Taoist sects and constant disputes with each other, which greatly reduces the influence of Taoism.

, it can be said that the reason why Taoism

Being suppressed by Buddhism and loose management was one of the extremely important reasons. It was not until hundreds of years later that Taoism realized this and began to learn from Buddhism. It was then that there were real professional Taoist priests. Unfortunately, at that time

Taoism has declined and it is already too late.

"Brother Chunfeng, are you also interested in chemistry?" Li Min asked curiously. It is not surprising that a person with a super IQ like Li Chunfeng is interested in many subjects.

"Haha~, His Highness guessed wrong this time!" As soon as Li Min finished speaking, Yuan Tiangang next to him suddenly laughed and said, "Actually, the main reason for inviting Your Highness to come here this time is that Chunfeng has developed something new, and it happened to be

Several results have been researched in the Chemistry College, so Pindao specially invited His Highness to the Taoist College to watch them together!"

Li Min finally knew the reason why Yuan Tiangang invited him. However, 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 didn't seem to be interested.

He was anxious, so he asked Li Minjin to visit the School of Chemistry first.

Speaking of the Chemistry College, the architectural style is very similar to the teaching building of the military academy. They are both very simple three-story buildings. However, compared to the simplicity of the military school, the Chemistry College has more Taoist-style decorations. These three-story teaching buildings are

It is built with cement, but the area is not very large.

Big, after all, the price of steel is not cheap now. If you want to build these buildings, you must use steel bars. Taoist College is in the initial stage, and money is needed everywhere, so the steel bars purchased are limited. Naturally, the buildings cannot be built too big or too high.

, otherwise there may be a risk of collapse.

There are many teaching buildings in the School of Chemistry. Li Min walked into a few buildings at random and took a look. He found that there were three classrooms in each building. In each classroom were students wearing long cyan clothes. These students were old and young.

, the oldest one has snow-white hair and beard, and is older than the teachers on the stage, while the youngest one is 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 a criterion for measuring a person. As long as there is a Taoist heart, people of any age can come to study.

As for the teachers giving lectures on the stage, Li Min also made a special observation and found that most of these teachers were wearing formal robes, holding chalk in their hands and writing on a black board. Since teaching is required, chalk and blackboard are natural.

These two things are indispensable. There is no technical content in these two things. Needless to say, the blackboard and the chalk are just glued together with lime and other things. They are very convenient to make.

But this is the School of Chemistry. Of course, the teaching tools cannot only be chalk and blackboard. There are also some restricted shelves placed side by side on the desks of some classrooms. There are some glass test tubes, flasks and other tools on the shelves. These are Li

All that I can think of for the time being are refined by glass factories and provided to the School of Chemistry at low prices.

In addition to these glass products, Li Min also found some other interesting things. These things are made of different materials, including glass and metal. Most of them are unknown to Li Min. They are probably made or ordered by the teachers of the college.

Made.

There was only one thing among them that Li Min recognized, and that was a huge alchemy furnace. It looked very much like the Bagua furnace that Li Min had seen on TV, the Bagua furnace used by Taishang Laojun to refine Sun Monkey. But this Bagua furnace

It was a teaching tool used by a bald Taoist priest. It seemed to be teaching students to purify a metal. However, seeing the black smoke billowing when the alchemy furnace was burning, Li Min was so frightened that he did not dare to get close, for fear of being hurt if the thing exploded.

Own.

This is not something Li Min is worrying about blindly. Even Yuan Tiangang admits that it is very common for furnaces to explode during the process of alchemy, and even death and injury are common. However, they are all cultivators and are ready to die as martyrdom at any time.

Moreover, although it is dangerous to explode a furnace, very few people will be killed by the explosion. At most, they will only be slightly injured, so there is no need to worry at all.

However, Li Min did not have the great sentiments of Yuan Tiangang and others to die as martyrs, so when he saw the burning pill furnace, he immediately ran away from it. However, compared to Li Min's timidity, the bald old Taoist and the other students all

They were very serious, sitting in a group around the alchemy furnace, the bald old man was explaining and operating at the same time, while the students were concentrating on taking notes, not worried at all that the two-person tall untimed bomb in front of them would explode.

After visiting these ordinary teaching areas, Li Min followed Yuan Tiangang and walked forward, and soon arrived at a special teaching area. It was a closed courtyard, with a relatively large teaching building in the middle, and several others next to it.

It's a small building and has no apparent purpose.

As soon as Li Min entered here, he immediately smelled an indescribable odor, and this odor made him feel a little familiar, as if he had smelled it somewhere before?

"Your Highness, this is one of the places where teachers and students who are extremely interested in chemistry gather. The main research is on textile materials. Some results have been achieved. Today, Your Highness is specially invited to come and take a look!" Yuan Tiangang

He said with a smile that he has never relaxed in the research work of the School of Chemistry. After all, this is the biggest financial source of their Taoist School, and all the expenses for the next year will be based on the results of the School of Chemistry.

"Oh, textile materials?" Li Min's eyes lit up after hearing this, "You are really good at choosing. The textile industry is now one of the most profitable industries, and the output of cotton is still unable to meet demand in a short period of time. If you really

If we can find an alternative material, it will be a real source of money."

When Li Min said this, he suddenly raised his head and sniffed, with an expression of sudden realization on his face. He smiled and said to Yuan Tiangang: "No wonder I smell this smell that is familiar. It turns out that you are planning to use wool instead."

cotton!"

When Yuan Tiangang saw Li Min's point of view, he immediately laughed and said: "Your Highness is really smart. This courtyard is indeed researching the use of wool as a textile material."

While Li Min and Yuan Tiangang were talking, they saw a man coming out of the teaching building facing them. This man was wearing a Taoist robe. At first glance, he knew he was a teacher from the college. But this teacher was really sloppy.

Yes, the Taoist robe on his body is

It was dirty and shabby, and even the colors were a bit unclear. It looked like he was not very old. His greasy hair and beard had not been taken care of for a long time, and he looked messy. He even covered most of his face, which made him

People can't see clearly what he looks like.

As soon as this man came out, Yuan Tiangang immediately shouted loudly: "Chief Shi Yi, why don't you come and pay homage to His Highness King Qi!"

The Taoist named Shi Yi came out with his head lowered. He seemed to be thinking about the problem. Hearing Yuan Tiangang's words, he was stunned for a moment, and then he saw the people in the yard. When he saw Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng surrounding him, he came out.

When Li Min came to see him, his eyes immediately lit up, he walked a few steps and saluted: "Shi Yi, poor Taoist, pays homage to His Highness the King of Qi!"

Although this Chief Shi was slovenly, his speech and behavior were quite polite. However, Li Min almost fainted when he bowed. The main reason was that the smell of this man was so strong, and the courtyard was already smelly enough.

Yes, but compared with the smell of Shi Yi, it is simply negligible.

In fact, not only Li Min couldn't stand it, but Yuan Tiangang next to him also frowned. Li Chunfeng had a good relationship with this Shi Yi, and because of his clean nature, he covered his nose without any scruples and said: "Brother Shi Dao, what's going on these days?"

You're not sleeping in a sheepfold, are you? It's too smelly!"

"Huh? Does it smell bad?" The Taoist Shi Daoist seemed to be unconscious. He raised his arm and smelled his body. It is estimated that his nose had already adapted to the odor on his body, so he couldn't smell it at all.

"Shi Yi, go and wash yourself and change your clothes before you come back. His Highness King Qi wants to take a look at your research results during this period!" Yuan Tiangang also frowned and said. Li Min came to their Taoist academy for the first time, and originally wanted to
