    Chapter 278 The smelly Chemistry School

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

    "Why is Brother Chunfeng here?" Li Min asked in surprise.  This man is none other than Taishi Ling Li Chunfeng, but he is engaged in mathematics and astronomy. 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 officially 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 just an ordinary person, and he could marry a wife and have children, and he was not afraid of meat and fish.  The Taoist priests in Taoist temples are more like the office workers of later generations. Taoist robes are their work clothes, and they can go home during holidays to share family happiness with their families.

    Of course, not everyone can be a Taoist priest. Those who want to be a Taoist priest must learn various Taoist scriptures and pass numerous examinations before they can obtain the status of a Taoist priest.  It is precisely because of this that there are many talented Taoist priests, such as Sun Simiao, Yuan Tiangang, Li Chunfeng, etc., who are all Taoist priests who will be 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, which has led to numerous sects in Taoism and constant disputes with each other, which has greatly reduced the influence of Taoism.  , it can be said that loose management is one of the extremely important reasons why Taoism was suppressed by Buddhism. It was not until hundreds of years later that Taoism realized this and began to learn from Buddhism. It was only then that real Taoism  Professional Taoist priest, but unfortunately Taoism had already declined by that time, and it was already too late.

    "Brother Chunfeng, are you also interested in chemistry?" Li Min asked curiously. It is not surprising that a person with 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 understood 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. However, Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang did not seem to be interested.  He was anxious, so he invited 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 school. 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 all made of cement, but the area is not large. After all, the current price of steel is not cheap. If you want to build these buildings, you must use steel bars. The Taoist College is in its infancy, and money is needed everywhere.  , so the purchased steel bars are limited, so the building 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 and holding chalk in their hands to write on a wooden board dyed black.  Since you want to teach, chalk and blackboard are naturally indispensable. These two things have little technical content. Needless to say, the blackboard is just a matter of using lime and other things to stick it together. It is 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 forbidden 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 the things that Zhen can think of for the time being are refined by the glass factory and provided to the School of Chemistry at low prices.

    In addition to these glass products, Li Min also discovered 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 customized by the teachers of the college.

    There was only one thing among them that Li Min recognized, and that was a huge alchemy furnace, which looked very much like the Bagua furnace used by Taishang Laojun to refine Sun Monkey, which Li Min had seen on TV.  It's just that this Bagua furnace is a teaching tool for a bald Taoist priest. It seems to be teaching students to purify a kind of metal. However, looking at the black smoke billowing when the alchemy furnace burns, Li Min is so scared that he dare not approach it at all, for fear that this thing will not work.  It exploded and hurt yourself.

    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 sentiment of Yuan Tiangang and others to die as martyrs, so when he saw the burning alchemy 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 there were several  It's a small building, and it doesn't seem to have any purpose for the time being.

    And when Li Min entered here, he immediately smelled an indescribable odor, and the 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 a familiar smell. It turns out that you are planning to use wool instead."  cotton!"

    When Yuan Tiangang saw Li Min, he immediately laughed and said: "Your Highness is indeed smart. In this courtyard, wool is indeed studied as a textile material."

    While Li Min and Yuan Tiangang were talking, they saw a person coming out of the teaching building opposite them. This person was wearing a Taoist robe, and he knew he was a teacher from the college.  It's just that this teacher is really slovenly. The robe on his body is dirty and torn, and even the color is a little unclear. He doesn't look very old. His greasy hair and beard have not been taken care of for a long time.  He looked so messy that he even covered most of his face, making it difficult for people to see what he looked like.

    As soon as this person 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. Then he saw the people in the yard. When he saw Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng surrounding him, he came out.  When Li Min was stunned, his eyes immediately lit up, he walked a few steps and saluted: "I am a poor Taoist, Shi Yi, pay homage to His Highness the King of Qi!"

    Although this Chief Shi was sloppy, 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. 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 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 stinky!¡±

    "Huh? Does it smell bad?" The Taoist Shi didn't seem to be aware of it yet. He raised his arm and smelled his body. It is estimated that his nose had already adapted to the stench on his body, so he couldn't smell it at all.

    "Shi Yi, please go clean and change your clothes before you come back. His Highness King Qi wants to see your research results during this period!" Yuan Tiangang also frowned and said.  It was the first time Li Min came to their Taoist academy. He wanted to leave a good impression on him, but unexpectedly he met a top-notch person like Shi Yi.  (To be completed)?.
