Ask Sword

Time flies, and it is December in a blink of an eye.

In the past two months, quite a lot of things happened. The conflict between the princes of the Southern Zhou Dynasty affected the court and made the situation in the Zhou Kingdom more turbulent. It seemed that a coup d'état or even a civil war would break out at any time.

Some Zhou country caravans were unable to return and were forced to stay in the east and west cities of Chang'an, resulting in a lot of high hotel rents.

The second is the new invention of the academy.

Soaps and scented soaps have been widely praised since they came out. The clean and non-greasy appearance, excellent cleaning effect, and long-lasting aromatic smell have completely crushed the previous putty.

The first few batches of soap and soap were quickly sold out. After a slight increase in the price, they were sold in large quantities by several major merchants, and they were suppressed again.

Because the product sold so well, Xuegong Patent Institute took the initiative to make a connection, and let Li Ang meet with representatives of chambers of commerce in Luoyang, Yangzhou and other places to expand the patent authorization.

The same is still only authorized, not bought out.

When Li Ang received the authorization fee, he was also worried that the large amount of alkaline soap used by the public might cause water pollution, so he took the initiative to mention the possible hidden dangers in this regard to the Xuegong Patent Institute.

Fortunately, during the last malaria prevention and control project, in Chang'an's aqueduct renovation plan, urban sewer pipes that were insulated from the underground river were designed, so that the groundwater should not be polluted in a short time.

The other is absorbent cotton—an invention that Leon commissioned with his name withheld from the patent, which also sells well—in the form of a monthly product.

Absorbent cotton crushes the previous cotton, linen and even stove ash in terms of appearance, water absorption, and sterility.

After the palace found out that the absorbent cotton was invented by Li Ang, it did not hesitate to purchase a large amount of cotton.

But after hearing that the palace started to use it first, the big families in Chang'an City followed suit one after another, and this trend spread from bottom to top and into the homes of ordinary people.

'This can be regarded as the second step to improve Yu people's livelihood after malaria. '

Accompanied by the sound of the school bell, Li Ang silently closed the book and walked out of the classroom.

During this time, soap, scented soap, and absorbent cotton brought him 20,000 guan of reservation authorization fees and 5,000 guan of patent fees, most of which were used by Li Ang to buy gold and silver.

At the same time, in order to fake the illusion of being extravagant and wealthy to the outside world, Li Ang also bought a lot of expensive jewelry and clothes for Chai Cuiqiao, and asked her to wear them when she went out.

As a result, the news that "Li Dalang, the number one scholar in Jinchengfang, spoiled his maid excessively" spread like wildfire, and became a kind of gossip in the market.

There are even people who spread rumors, saying that Chai Cuiqiao is as beautiful as a fairy, sinking fish and falling geese, closing the moon to shame flowers, and overwhelming the country and the city.

This made Chai Chai both ashamed and happy.

As for Li Ang himself, after devouring a large amount of gold and silver, the ink silk in his body has also undergone new changes—the ink silk that could only cover the palm of his body can now cover the entire upper body.

Channeled with aura, it can also cover the face, forming a perforated, breathable mask.

But at the same time, the growth efficiency of moss is also gradually decreasing - ordinary gold and silver ingots need 30% more than before to allow moss to continue to grow the same share,

Li Ang has a feeling that when Mosi grows to a certain stage, he must devour higher-quality special metals.

"Risheng, what are you thinking?"

Yang Yu and Li Wei walked out of the classroom with their books in their arms, and patted Li Ang on the shoulder.

"Thinking about what to have for dinner."

Li Ang said casually, and when he heard the noisy sound not far away, he turned his head and looked over.

chug chug——

Buzz——

clatter——

Over the lawn on the other side of Chuiyun Lake in Xuegong, model airplanes of various shapes are flying.

Some of them are made of wood, bamboo, and some are covered with metal.

Some have single wings, double wings and even three wings.

The flying postures are also different, or shaky, swaying from side to side,

Or rush left and right in the air, turning extremely difficult.

After the supervising class two months ago, Su Feng, a doctor of science, applied to the head of the mountain to open an additional elective course called Qi (that is, aerodynamics), which specializes in how to make aircraft models with better performance.

Many senior students have signed up for this course, and making model airplanes according to Li Ang's method has become a new trend in the academy recently.

However, the aerodynamic layout of the model airplanes they made was not very good. Many of them lost control while flying and crashed on the lake.

"Another crashed."

Yang Yu curled his lips and said, "I feel like if I bump into someone one day, these model airplanes will be banned by offering wine, and they can only be played in the martial arts arena just like Feijian."

"Speaking of Risheng, why didn't you sign up for Qi class?"

Li Wei asked curiously: "If you go, Dr. Su Feng will definitely give you a lot of credits - after all, you discussed this course with him."

"Well, forget it. I have other things to do."

Li Ang waved his hand and said.

The model airplanes of those senior students did not fly as well as him. On the one hand, their model airplanes had low aerodynamic performance.

On the other hand, their sensitivity to fine gold wire is not as good as Li Ang's.

'Maybe this is also the effect brought by Mosi. My ability to sense and manipulate special metals is already higher than some monks in the Rain Listening and Cloud Watching realms.

Although the total amount of aura is still in the hiding place. '

Li Ang thought silently, 'Maybe it's time to choose a time to reasonably show that he has reached the stash state. '

A few days ago, Pei Jing was the first to break through to the hidden realm, followed by He Fanshuang, and each received credits.

The practice requirement of the academy for the freshmen is to break through to the Tibetan realm within half a year to one year after enrolling.

Those who are faster than this standard will get credits.

After advancing to the Tibetan Realm, I can finally use some relatively "practical" talismans, but this also means that freshmen need to choose a path that suits them.

Which one or two should I choose for the Talisman Sword Thought Body?

Li Ang thought about this question, walked out of the west gate of the academy, and the three of them returned to Chang'an in Yang Yu's family's carriage—the weather was cold, so Li Ang stopped riding a bay red horse to and from school.

The carriage drove into Chang'an City West Kaiyuan Gate, passed through Yining Square,

Yang Yu and Li Wei were talking about which path to choose if they were promoted to the Tibetan Realm, Li Ang lifted the car window, poked his head out, and breathed in the cold fresh air.

His eyes flicked among the buildings with white walls and black tiles. Li Ang accidentally caught a glimpse of a building, subconsciously retracted his head, and called the driver to stop the carriage.

"What's wrong Risheng?"

Yang Yu thought there was something wrong and asked subconsciously.

"Take a stroll around Jingsi Temple."

Li Ang thought about today's date, jumped out of the carriage, and stood in front of the temple with white walls and black tiles.

Nestorianism is a branch of Christianity. King Temple, that is, a church in a sense.

At this very moment, a group of Persians in white robes were distributing eggs, candies, vegetables, wooden crosses, and paper scriptures to citizens queuing outside the temple.

There were also more enthusiastic prayers in the temple than before.

Li Ang declined the temple staff's invitation to lead a tour, and walked into the temple with Yang Yu and Li Wei who didn't know why, looking left and right.

Today is Christmas.

Inexplicable emotions rose from the bottom of Li Ang's heart. The Jing Temple's white walls and black tiles, cornices and brackets are no different from Chang'an Pavilions, and there is even a Daxiong Palace.

On the wall of the Daxiong Palace, what hangs is not the statue of the Virgin, but the portraits of the emperors of the Yu Kingdom—these paintings were awarded to Jingsi by the royal family.

".My trinity, wonderful body, and Wuyuan Allah, Arhaha, judged the cross to determine the four directions, drummed the primordial wind to generate two qi, the dark sky changed and the sky and the earth opened, the sun and the moon moved day and night, and the craftsman made everything and then stood up to the first man. "

From the depths of the temple came the ups and downs of Chang'an Mandarin chanting,

This is not some Nestorian practice secrets, but the "Genesis" scriptures recited by Nestorian priests (pastors)-God said that if there is light, there will be light, separating light from darkness, and creating everything in the world and human beings

An unreal feeling rose in Li Ang's heart. It was Christmas, but there were no evergreen trees, Christmas stockings, Christmas carols and Christmas gifts.

Still can't find the shadow in memory.

Recalling the scene in the memory fragments, Li Ang shook his head in disappointment.

"You three gentlemen of the Academy, do you want to wear a cross and listen to scriptures?"

The gentle Chang'an Mandarin sounded in the corner of the hall, and a young Jing monk with Persian appearance and curly hair stepped forward with a friendly attitude. Judging by the attire, he is still a priest.

"Don't bother the priest, we are here to visit, so let's go."

Li Ang just wanted to experience the Christmas atmosphere in the memory fragments, and declined.

The kind smile on the face of the young Monk Jing continued, "It's better for the three young gentlemen to stop for a while, listen to the scriptures, and calm down.

I can see that the faces of the three men are turning black, and they seem to be bloody recently. "

The image of blood and light?

The expressions on the faces of Yang Yu and Li Wei were quite strange. A Persian Jing monk told them solemnly that Yintang was black and that they were going to have bad luck recently.
