The next day.
Li Zexuan had just finished practicing Tai Chi with the three beauties when he heard that Yan Lide and Yan Shaoning had come to visit him.
"Heh! Looks like Old Yan and Xiao Yan are also very anxious ~! "
Li Zexuan laughed in his heart.
Wasn't this nonsense?
This bastard always gave people a huge surprise every time he went into seclusion. This time, Yanhuang College made such a big fuss that even Li Zexuan personally came out to support him. Yan Lide and Yan Shaoning did not believe that Li Zexuan would make a small fuss. He would definitely give everyone a surprise again.
"Hehe ~! You brat, stop talking nonsense ~! Quickly bring us to see the blueprint you designed ~! This old man wants to know how much talent you have in architecture, Xiao Xuan ~! "
Yan Lide waved his hand and said as soon as he saw Li Zexuan in the front yard.
"Yes, yes, yes ~! I'm also here to broaden my horizons, haha ~! "
Yan Shaoning, a technical geek, rarely went out. These days, he was busy researching Li Zexuan's telegraph machine.
Previously, when Han Yuxi married into the Li Residence, she also brought her telegraph machine over. This way, the Li Residence had two telegraph machines. After Yan Shaoning found out, he shamelessly insisted on taking one back for research. Li Zexuan thought about it. Yan Shaoning was "upright" and had no reason to betray the country, so he gave him one.
In the end, Yan Shaoning had a hard time!
This guy had never learned about electricity and magnetic fields. How could he understand this knowledge that was beyond the times? He disassembled and reassembled the telegraph machine. After fiddling with it for so many days, he still could not figure out anything. Today, he came over to see how Li Zexuan's Yanhuang College looked like and also to ask about the principle of the telegraph machine.
"Hehe ~! If that's the case, Uncle Yan and Brother Shaoning, please come with me ~! "
Li Zexuan laughed and did not talk nonsense. He brought the two of them to the side hall of the West Courtyard.
"Oh ~! Oh ~! This … this … what is this? Is this your Yanhuang College, Xiaoxuan? "
Pushing the door open and entering, Yan Shaoning saw the enormous sandbox where all kinds of magnificent buildings, artificial mountains, ponds, and trees were placed. He opened his mouth wide in shock and exclaimed, "Ohhh! Ohhh! Ohhh!"
Yan Lide was also shocked. In this era, no one used a sand table model to show the distribution of gardens. Compared to drawings, the advantages of a sand table model were obvious. It was more intuitive and more impressive.
Not to mention the architectural design of Li Zexuan's Academy, this creativity alone made Yan Lide have a whole new level of respect for Li Zexuan.
"That's right, this is what Yanhuang College will look like after it's completed! Based on the corresponding proportions, I've shrunk these academy buildings to this size. Doesn't it look more beautiful? As for the blueprint, I also have it here. Uncle Yan, you and Brother Shaoning can take a look ~! The size parameters above are more detailed ~! "
Li Zexuan said as he carried the half-foot-thick blueprint over.
Yan Shaoning's eyes were wide open. He pointed at the stack of blueprints and said with trembling lips, "This … this many ~! Xiaoxuan, you … don't tell me that you drew all these blueprints in the past two days ~? "
Yan Lide also turned his gaze over. He still remembered what Li Zexuan said to him in the carriage two days ago.
"Yes ~! Uh ~! That's not right. To be precise, I spent half a day drawing these blueprints the day before yesterday. As for the model of the academy on the table, I spent a whole day making it yesterday ~! "
Li Zexuan said as if it was a matter of course.
"Oh … My God, Xiaoxuan, you're really a f * cking pervert ~!"
Yan Shaoning pointed at Li Zexuan with his trembling right hand and said as he vomited blood.
Yan Lide was so shocked that he almost pulled his beard off. He said with a speechless face, "Xiaoxuan, how can you draw so fast ~? This old man has never heard of such a thing ~! "
Li Zexuan didn't know how to explain. He could only wave his hand and said with a smile, "Uh ~! It's natural ~! It's all natural ~! "
"Sh * t ~! How can this be natural ~? "
Yan Shaoning probably learned this catchphrase from Cheng Chumo. He looked at Li Zexuan with jealousy and hatred.
"Haha ~! Uncle Yan, what do you think of the academy that I designed ~? Can it be built with the current construction techniques ~? "
Li Zexuan ignored Yan Shaoning's antics and looked at Yan Lide seriously.
Yan Lide immediately narrowed his eyes. After all, landscape architecture was his specialty. He was also a recognized master architect in the entire Tang Dynasty.
After looking at it carefully for a while, Yan Lide stroked his beard, shook his head and sighed.
"To be honest, this old man doesn't quite understand! Let's talk about the layout of your building. It's in accordance with the Daoist's Yin and Yang and the Five Elements. Xiaoxuan, you've done a good job ~! But the design style of your building is completely different from the current mainstream style of Tang Dynasty. This old man has never seen anything like it ~! May I know where this architectural style is from ~? "
Where is this architectural style ~? This is the style of my hometown ~! It's a pity that I can't go back ~!
Li Zexuan let out a deep sigh and said:
"Uncle Yan, you might not believe me, but I've been having the same dream all these years. The world in the dream is very real. It's so real that I can't even tell which is the dream and which is reality ~!"
"In that world, there are tall buildings everywhere. The ground there is flat and hard! There are iron carriages that run faster than war horses. There are huge vehicles that can carry hundreds of people and soar in the sky. There are also huge iron ships that can dive hundreds of feet into the sea! "
"The people there can hear each other's voices from thousands of miles away. They can even see each other's faces. There is no curfew in the city, and it's still brightly lit at night! The people there travel in a long iron carriage. It can travel thousands of miles in a day. One carriage can carry thousands of people ~! "
Yan Lide and Yan Shaoning both stared with their eyes wide open. They were shocked speechless by Li Zexuan's description for a long time ~! These things that could allow people to soar in the sky, dive into the deep sea, and travel thousands of miles in a day were completely beyond their imagination. The most amazing thing was that they could actually transmit their voices and even look at each other from thousands of miles away. Didn't this kind of scene only exist in supernatural novels?
"Are you talking about the Immortal Realm ~?"
At this time, Li Er walked in silently with Empress Zhangsun. It was clear that this couple had once again trespassed on private property and had eavesdropped from the corner for quite a while.
Yan Lide and his son were greatly alarmed and hurriedly bowed. Li Er, however, turned a blind eye to them. His eyes were fixed on Li Zexuan as he enunciated each word.
"Li Zexuan, is the world you just mentioned the Immortal Realm above the Nine Heavens? Have you and your master been to the Immortal Realm before? "
He originally wanted to come and see the progress of Yanhuang College. After all, he had high hopes for this college. He didn't expect to hear such shocking news. Humans had always been yearning for the Immortal Realm above the Nine Heavens, and he, Li Er, was no exception!
