After another two days, Huangshi sat on the leisure chair in the courtyard with Mu Dexian and Zhou Mingrui, the sun was already high in the sky, but in this small mountain town, they had a parasol on their heads, but they could feel a cool breeze blowing, and then listening to the cicadas on the trees, drinking the "Zhengshan Species" brought by Huangshi from modern times, feeling particularly comfortable.

Zhou Mingrui diligently added tea to Huang Shi, "Master, what kind of treasure is this", it turned out that after everyone rested and chatted for a while, Huang Shi took out a thick cardboard box from the light gate and put it at his feet, and then took out a few things from each of them and placed them in front of Zhou Mingrui.

Huangshi picked up a pendant-like thing, only to see that the pendant was suspected to be made of red copper, and the whole body was shiny, and the pendant at the end of the pendant was an object wrapped in a 16-edged red crystal cover, "Where, this thing is called a pocket watch in the fairy world, it is also a kind of clock, this thing is generally round, and basically it is clamshell, and there is a long chain behind it, and we people in the fairy world generally bring it inside the clothes, and take it out when you want to see it, and look at it with a flip."

"Bang", Huang Shi opened the clamshell of the pocket watch, and the curtain and Zhou Mingrui put their heads closer to look at it, and sure enough, there was a lot of hidden things inside, "Master", the curtain had to take a look at this thing is not the grandfather clock that the master put in the main hall of the living room before, but it was too small, when I first saw the clock, I felt that it had been finely workmaned to the extreme, I didn't expect to see a more amazing similar object today, and I couldn't help but sigh that maybe this is what the ancients said "Na Sumeru is in mustard seeds", "Master, This pocket watch can also tell the time"?

"This kind of mechanical pocket watch,There is no time signaling function,Generally you want to look at the time when you take it out,There is a kind of thing called an electronic watch in the fairy world,It can tell you the time on time like a table clock every once in a while,That thing is smaller and lighter than this pocket watch,But it needs electricity,And that thing is also easy to break,So I didn't bring it this timeใ€‚ Speaking of the time, when the clock first settled in the shogunate, the children ran to the living room together whenever it was time to tell the time, and gathered the clock in a circle to listen to it.

Isn't electricity the power of thunder between heaven and earth, Mu Dexian and Zhou Mingrui couldn't help but be dumbfounded by the spells of the immortals, "Master, look at this lightning and thunder is so terrifying, how can it be subdued by the immortals?"

Huang Shi smiled "hehe", it seemed that the two of them had made up the electric automatic brain they mentioned to lightning, which was also a good thing, so they simply continued to make it up, "This, it's very complicated to say, the great immortals who understand these Dao methods, they have made all kinds of magic circles, there are generators that can automatically generate this electricity, there are also transmission networks that can transmit this electricity for thousands of miles, and there are batteries, batteries, etc., which can store this electricity, countless others."

"Speaking of these Taoism, not everyone can do it in the fairy world, in the fairy world, almost every immortal has to have a full-time job, we call him to work, some great immortals are engaged in research, oh, it sounds like the Gewu you said in the lower realm, that is, the truth of all things in the universe; There are also great immortals who specialize in invention, what is invention, that is, to use some of the truths discovered by the great immortals mentioned above, to make all kinds of simpler and more practical Taoism and spells, or to make a variety of useful or durable magic weapons, magic weapons or immortal weapons to facilitate the clothing, food, housing and transportation of the immortals."

Hearing this, Zhou Mingrui and Zhou Mingrui both felt that their brains were not enough, especially when they heard what magic weapons, magic weapons, fairy weapons or something, I used to read some miscellaneous books or listen to some commentaries, but I knew that the immortals of the Tao of the Tao have magic weapons, but I didn't expect to listen to the master today, but there are several more, naturally what others say is just hearsay, but the old man is really an immortal, and the two of them naturally can't help but eagerly want to know these things in the fairy world.

Looking at the two of them with a look of curiosity, Huang Shi patted the table and said, "Okay, since you want to know the Dao, I will briefly tell you about the fairy world, this fairy world is divided into 7 continents, namely Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, North and South America, plus Antarctica, this race is similar to you here, there are also black, white, yellow, brown and other colors." Huang Shi paused for a moment, because he saw that Zhou Mingrui seemed to have questions, so he asked him, "Mingrui, what questions do you have?"

Zhou Mingrui touched his head embarrassedly, "Master, the residents in this city are black and white, yellow and brown, you see that Mr. Mu is eating white and clean now, and the little one is tired from running around under the sun every day, and is naturally tanned, what's so strange about this."

"Mingrui, do you think that this world is only the Ming Dynasty, or those Mongolian Jurchens around it"?

Zhou Mingrui and Mu De showed a natural look, "Hehe, you are really frogs at the bottom of the well, it seems that you really have to bring a globe next time, so that you can take a good look." Well, I went on to say that the people of all colors were not because they didn't bask in the sun, but because they were born with blonde hair or curly hair, and their whole bodies were either as white as quicklime or as black as charcoal."

"Ah, master, is there really such a person in this world, won't it grow into a demon and a monster", and even the curtain was taken aback, after all, the Xiucai in a small city doesn't even know the mud, how can he know that the road is thousands of miles away in the West.

Huang Shi smiled and pointed at the two of them and said, "Don't believe it, when we get to Fucheng, maybe we can meet one or two white people, as for the black man, in fact, it is recorded in your ancient books in the Tang Dynasty, at that time, they were called Kunlun Nu."

"Okay, I'll talk about the magic weapon next, in our immortal world, like you blacksmiths, carpenters and other craftsmen in the lower realm, the things that are made by hand can only be called mortal weapons, you go to the street to see the things in those shops, each of them is uneven, and some craftsmen with a good level can do it very well, but it is only a very few."

"As for the magic weapons, these treasures you see now do not use electricity, oil, or coal, but are called by hand, and they are all made of a magic weapon called a machine. After speaking, Huang Shi picked out a few of the same model from the pile of pocket watches and handed them to the two of them to see, naturally how could the two of them distinguish the nuances of the products produced by the flowing water machine.
