After a while, the assembly of Kong Ming lanterns was finally completed, but Li Zhi's busy sweat was extremely excited, although Li Zhen and Li Shen were just helpers, they were also full of pride at this time.

A few days ago, when Wang Xiang told them that they were going to complete a flying feat, they thought it was just a joke, but they didn't expect that in just a few days, the joke would become a reality in their own hands, and this huge sense of accomplishment made the three little ghosts feel that a new world seemed to be opening up towards them.

Li Shen circled around Kong Minglan twice and rubbed his hands excitedly and asked, "Brother Jiu, can this thing really fly?" ”

Li Zhi nodded matter-of-fact and said, "According to the theory that the air expands and becomes lighter when heated, as long as the brazier in the bamboo basket is strong enough, it can make the Kong Ming lantern fly. As he spoke, he also used a quill pen to write and draw in a small notebook, just like a scholar.

Li Chunfeng was stunned: "King Jin is holding goose feathers in his hand?" ”

He had always thought that Qin Tianjian was already the most mysterious place in the Tang Dynasty, but he didn't expect that when he arrived at a newly established Gewu Academy today, it was full of new things.

Wang Xiang smiled when he heard this: "During the experiment, it is often necessary to record some data and experience, and it is not very convenient to use a brush, so I made a quill pen. ”

Let Tie Dan and Cheng Chuliang carry the assembled Kong Ming lantern to the center of the courtyard, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

The reason why Wang Xiang decided to come up with something full of visual shock like the super Kong Ming lantern was not only because he wanted to find something for Li Shen to do, but also because he wanted to play the signboard of the Gewu Academy.

Li Er's men transferred from Qin Tianjian, although they didn't say anything on the surface, Wang Xiang could still guess what they were thinking. Qin Tianjian does not hold real power, but it has the highest status among the five eunuchs of the Nine Temples, and the Gewu Academy is only a newly established department, and the court judgment is only a five-rank official position, so it is conceivable how much development prospect these people under their hands can have.

Wang Xiang just wants to tell them through the giant Kong Ming lantern that the Gewu Academy can do things that others can't do, this is a place that creates miracles, and a place that can create miracles is bound to rise, besides, even His Majesty threw the three princes in the Gewu Yuan are afraid that they will not be taken seriously in the future, only by letting them have confidence in the Gewu Academy can they have a sense of belonging to the Gewu Academy.

Speaking of which, if Li Er got some erudite Confucians and sent them to the Gewu Academy, Wang Xiang really didn't care too much, but these young people transferred from Qin Tianjian Wang Xiang cared very much, they had a good foundation in arithmetic, and the most important thing was that they were flexible in thinking and good at accepting new things, which was exactly the talent Wang Xiang needed.

"Everyone has just come to the Gewu Academy, and they don't know much about the Gewu Academy, maybe you don't even know what the Gewu Academy does, but I'll tell you now, the Gewu Yuan is a place that creates miracles."

Miracles?

The people below began to exchange ears, and someone asked, "Let's dig up the stone and create a miracle too?" ”

As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of laughter, and Wang Xiang coughed twice in embarrassment and said: "It's not that I want you to dig stones, but I just want you to understand what kind of stones are valuable. ”

Someone else asked, "Stones are also valuable?" What is the use of the excavated stones? ”

Wang Xiang glanced at Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng who were standing in the crowd, and it was not appropriate to disclose the matter of burning glass, so he had to vaguely say: "I will tell you about this matter in the future, and let everyone witness the first miracle created by the Gewu Academy today." ”

"He doesn't seem to want us to know something." Li Chunfeng whispered.

Yuan Tiangang smiled: "It's okay, don't we Qin Tianjian also have many secrets that should not be known, I'm very curious about whether his flying experiment can be successful." ”

"What if it succeeds?"

"If he succeeds, it means that what he said earlier about the theory of Gewu is correct, and this person may be able to start a new school."

Yuan Tiangang said plainly, Li Chunfeng set off turbulent waves in his heart, creating a new school is not as simple as a sentence, even if it is not a holy master like Confucius and Mencius, it is a sage and Confucian who has never heard of it with strange skills, and Wang Xiang looks so young.

"Will the master overestimate him?"

Yuan Tiangang smiled and shook his head, but did not speak.

"Flying?"

Hearing Wang Xiang say these two words, everyone thought they had heard it wrong.

Wang Xiang motioned for Li Zhi and the three of them to step forward, and the three little ghosts suddenly stood next to Wang Xiang with a proud face.

"Under the disdainful efforts of the three highnesses King Yue, King Jin and King Ji, the first flying experiment of our Gewu Academy is about to be carried out, and our goal this time is to ...... a hen."

"Wang Jiancheng, change the rooster." Li Zhi turned his head and whispered a corrective sentence.

"Oh yes, our goal this time is to send a rooster into the sky."

Originally, it was an experiment with hens, but later Li Zhi and a few of them discussed that the rooster would crow more effectively than the hen, so they made a temporary change.

However, the rooster and hen are not the point, and the people below care about the word flying.

People are like this, the more they feel that something is incredible, the more they want to find out, and they obviously think that flying is nonsense, but they still can't help but feel curious.

"Can the court judge really make a rooster fly into the sky?"

In the face of everyone's doubts and expectations, Wang Xiang smiled: "Can you succeed today, just let everyone witness it together, Tiedan!" ”

Hearing Wang Xiang's order, Tie Dan immediately stepped forward with a torch, and Cheng Chuliang stepped forward with a frightened rooster.

In view of the fact that the three imps were all vying to be the ignition man, in the end, the three of them had to jointly light the Kong Ming lantern.

In everyone's incredulous gaze, Kong Minglan's airbag gradually puffed up, carrying the panicked rooster slowly off the ground.

"Flying, really flying!"

As one person exclaimed, everyone held their breath and looked up at Kong Ming's lantern flying higher and higher, and the frightened crow of the rooster could be faintly heard, and Li Zhi clenched his fists excitedly.

"Wang Jiancheng, since Kong Ming lanterns can carry roosters to the sky, then next time as long as you make a bigger Kong Ming lantern and prepare more fuel, you will definitely be able to carry people into the sky, if I fly into the palace on Kong Ming lanterns, my father will be surprised when he sees it."

As soon as Wang Xiang saw Li Zhihong's fluttering face, he knew that he was in a state of extreme excitement.

At the time of half a pillar of incense, although everyone chased out of the Gewu Courtyard, Kong Ming Lantern gradually flew out of everyone's field of vision, and I don't know where it flew.

When I returned to the Gewu Academy again, everyone looked at Wang Xiang differently, although this time it was just a rooster flying into the sky, but the people present were all smart people, and naturally they also thought of the problem that Li Zhi thought, if the Kong Ming lantern was bigger and the fuel was more sufficient, people would be able to fly into the sky!

"Master, he succeeded." The surprise in Li Chunfeng's eyes has not subsided.

Yuan Tiangang sighed and said, "Do you still think that Gewuxue is a strange skill? From tomorrow onwards, you will also stay at Gewuin to help. ”

Li Chunfeng opened his mouth, and finally nodded solemnly.

The flying incident not only shocked the people of the Gewu Academy, half of the people in Chang'an City were alarmed, on this day, many people saw a strange thing flying in the sky of Chang'an City, and it seemed that the sound of roosters could be heard faintly, so for a while Chang'an City had different opinions.

Some people say that it is the sound of the phoenix, it is an auspicious omen, some people say that it is an immortal descending to earth, and some people say that it is whose rooster has ascended to heaven, in short, no one thought that this is just a small experiment in the Gewu Academy.

Li Er was discussing with the ministers in the Taiji Palace, and suddenly heard an exclamation from outside the hall and suddenly felt displeased, the hall was discussing military affairs, but the hall was noisy and became a system, when he lowered his face and called the eunuch on duty outside the hall to come in.

"Your Majesty, there is a vision in the sky!"

As soon as the eunuch entered the hall, he fell to the ground in a panic and exclaimed, Li Er's brows furrowed even tighter, the king is the most jealous of visions, if it is a good vision, it is easy to say, if it is a bad vision, maybe there are people with ulterior motives who take the opportunity to spread rumors to shake the country.

This kind of thing must be guarded against, after all, the Li family's rivers and mountains are also from the sentence "Sweep away the Yang flowers, the Son of Heaven has no head, the sunset shines on the dragon boat, and the Huanghuai flows against the current." "Started.

"Go out with me."

A group of ministers followed Li Er out of the Taiji Palace, and many guards outside the hall looked at the sky in the distance and pointed, smelling a cold snort, and turned around to see Li Er, whose face was pale, and immediately fell to his knees in fright.

Li Er ignored these guards and turned to Changsun Wuji and asked, "Auxiliary, what do you think it is?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji squinted his eyes and looked at it uncertainly for a while: "It looks like a Kong Ming lantern, but it doesn't look like it." ”

Li Xiaogong's eyes were better, and he said, "There seems to be something moving on it." He saw the poor rooster, but it was too far away to see it very clearly, and he saw only a vague shadow fluttering.

As the first rooster in history to fly into the sky, I felt not honored, but panicked.

"What kind of birds, when I shoot it down with an arrow, Your Majesty will be able to see it clearly."

Lao Cheng's speech was the most unscored, and when he said that he was about to find a guard to get a bow and arrow, Qin Qiong grabbed him and whispered: "Your Majesty, what are you shooting here, and besides, can you shoot so far." ”

Lao Cheng looked up again when he heard this, and estimated that even if he was Li Guang's reincarnation, he might not be able to shoot that far, so he muttered that he gave up his plan to shoot arrows, and the annoyed look made the ministers shake their heads and smile bitterly.

Li Er was not as irritable as before when Lao Cheng made such a fuss, and it didn't look like a bad thing to see this vision.

Eldest Sun Wuji suddenly thought of something, and asked, "Your Majesty's new Gewu Academy is in the south of the city?" ”

……

In the evening, a woman cheered in surprise from a dilapidated vegetable garden outside Chang'an City: "Boss, a big bamboo basket fell from the sky, and there was a big rooster inside!" ”
