Lin Yi followed a eunuch and walked in the Forbidden City.

Long Yuanjian was not by his side, which made him feel a little unaccustomed.

Without the protection of this humane holy sword, he personally faced the suppression of the dragon qi of the Son of Heaven, which made Lin Yi's originally long breathing seem a little heavy.

What is the present and what is the end?

All along, Lin Yi thought that he could distinguish very clearly and grasp it very well. But it wasn't until the moment Long Yuan's sword left his hand that he suddenly woke up.

Sometimes, the more you get, the more you get, it's not necessarily a good thing.

On the contrary, loss allows us to see farther and more clearly.

The "Galaxy Sutra" in the ancestral hole of the eyebrows shimmered with a little light, like the bright stars in the night sky.

The true qi of the galaxy flowed through the whole body, mellow and flawless, and a feeling that everything was under control spontaneously, and the pressure brought by the humane dragon qi was immediately reduced by a few points.

If you put aside those mysterious things, dragon qi represents power, power, and status.

Lin Yi smiled dumbly, he once thought that he was chasing the truth and being extraordinary, he once thought that he was slaying demons with a sword in his hand, but now he looked back and found that he was still just a layman.

In a pavilion in the Imperial Garden, Lin Yi met Emperor Zhaode.

Lin Yi made a mockery and said, "Holy Ten Thousand Blessings." ”

"Qing Xuan Zhenren is exempt, please take a seat." Emperor Zhaode said with a red face.

Lin Yi didn't shirk either, and sat down directly.

Since ancient times, China has not bowed.

In the pre-Qin period, because there were no tables and chairs, there was a "kneeling ceremony", but this was not a formal etiquette, just a sitting posture of "kneeling on both knees".

In that era, the minister knelt to the king, and the king also knelt to the minister.

Later, with tables and chairs, kneeling was very rare. Unless it is a very formal occasion, such as a large pilgrimage meeting that is only held a few times a year, it is necessary to bow down, and it is generally not necessary.

It was the Yuan Dynasty that changed.

Before the Song Dynasty, the monarchs and ministers played right, and both sides sit. In the Song Dynasty, the monarch sat and stood up. and then to the Yuan Dynasty, it was the king who sat and knelt.

The Ming Dynasty inherited this bad custom, but few people still knelt down to officials. Because the kneeling salute is too large for ordinary officials to bear. Once this kind of thing happens, it means that there is a great grievance, and this is something that every official tries to avoid.

It was the Manchu Dynasty that really pushed the kneeling ceremony to the top.

This dynasty has no kings and ministers, only masters and minions. And after the officials of the Qing Dynasty knelt down to the emperor, they were unbalanced in their hearts, so they passed on this imbalance to the common people.

At this point, kneeling has become a common phenomenon in society.

From the Zhao Song Dynasty to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the change of kneeling reflects the change in the spirit of the times.

From "the emperor and the scholars ruled the world together" to the "master" and "slave", what the Yuanmeng and Manchu Qing successively brought to China was not just war and killing.

When Emperor Zhaode admired the "Sword of the Son of Heaven" presented by a little eunuch, Lin Yi's thoughts flew and he thought of more things.

Emperor Zhaode held the hilt of the "Sword of the Son of Heaven" in his hand, and waved it a few times, and the long-lost vitality returned to his body again.

"The elixir of a real person is really extraordinary." Emperor Zhaode, who was full of red light and full of spirit, praised.

Lin Yi's mind returned from the sky, and when he heard this, he said with a smile: "This is also the Holy Blessing Qitian. This pill is made from a humanoid spirit ginseng that I inadvertently picked in the depths of Changbai Mountain as the main material, and there is not much left. In this world, if you want to find another humanoid ginseng, it is as difficult as the sky. ”

Emperor Zhaode looked regretful, after personally experiencing the magic of the elixir, how much he hoped to be able to get a few more.

Fortunately, while Lin Yi closed a door, he opened a window.

"Now that the Sword of the Son of Heaven has been forged, when can I start cultivating?" Emperor Zhaode asked with some eagerness.

Lin Yi smiled and said, "Don't worry, Holy Lord. Zhuangzi once said that the sword of the Son of Heaven takes Yanxi Shicheng as the front, Qi Dai as the spine, Jin and Wei as the spine, Zhou and Song as the fang, and Han Wei as the clamp; Wrapped in four Yi, wrapped in four times, around the Bohai Sea, with Changshan; The system is based on the five elements, and the criminal virtue is discussed; Open with yin and yang, hold with spring and autumn, and line with autumn and winter. ”

"This sword, straight and forward, supreme, caseless, lucky, up to the clouds, down to the Jedi. This sword is used, and the princes of Kuang are obeyed by the world. This sword of the Son of Heaven also. ”

"The way of the Son of Heaven is in it."

"Please also ask a real person to solve your doubts." Emperor Zhaode said.

Lin Yi said: "Lao Tzu said that the way of heaven is to make up for the deficiency when there is more loss. The way of man, otherwise, the loss is not enough to give more than enough. Who can have more than enough to serve the world, only the Taoist. ”

"The Holy One is the Son of Heaven, who is supported by all the people, and is the way of man. If you can ascend to the path of heaven and make up for the deficiency, then the road can be achieved. ”

"How can I make it up?" Emperor Zhaode asked.

Lin Yi took out a folded piece of paper, spread it out on the stone table in the pavilion, and said, "This is it." ”

The paper was drawn on a very rudimentary machine.

Emperor Zhaode watched carefully for a while, but he didn't understand the essentials and asked, "This is?" ”

Lin Yi said: "This machine can be called a 'steam engine'. This machine will benefit all the people, and it will open a new era. ”

Looking at Emperor Zhaode with a dazed expression, Lin Yi shook his head slightly, the greatness of the steam engine, in this world, maybe only he can understand.

This feeling of everyone being drunk and waking up alone is very refreshing, really refreshing.

Lin Yi secretly said in his heart: "At this time, if you add a narration of 'the gears of fate have begun to turn', it feels absolutely beyond imagination." ”

In his previous life, when he was lying in a hospital bed, he had read many books.

After the crossing, many things have been forgotten. But with the improvement of his cultivation, Lin Yi found that these things could be retrieved from his mind.

This time, he got back the idea of how the Watt steam engine worked.

The Watt steam engine is not complicated, the intake, exhaust, cylinder, piston, lianxuan, crank, are nothing more than these key things.

The improvement of Watt is mainly to separate the condenser from the cylinder, so that the temperature of the cylinder can be continuously maintained at the temperature of the injected steam, so as to improve the utilization rate of steam.

This is the knowledge of the rotten street in the later generations.

It's just that many people forget about it after learning it, or they don't learn it at all.

Emperor Zhaode took his gaze back from the drawings of the steam engine and said, "What do real people need?" ”

Lin Yi silently praised Emperor Zhaode in his heart, this kind of good teammate who fully cooperates, no matter what time it is, is the most cute.

"As long as the Holy One allocates some craftsmen to me." Lin Yi said.

Emperor Zhaode nodded, and then ordered to go down.
