This was the mindset of the ancient people. Even if one became a cultivator, one could not change this deep-rooted mindset. Even in modern times, this mindset still existed. It was something that had been imprinted in the blood.
Inheritance and incense were the most important in the eyes of the descendants of Yan and Huang.
In ancient dynasties, if an emperor did not have children, then the whole country would not be stable, and the chair under his buttocks would not be stable. The hearts of the people would not be able to truly focus on him.
Why?
It was because the emperor did not have children, which meant that there was no successor to the foundation. Naturally, the hearts of the people would not be stable. Naturally, the court would be turbulent. After all, no one knew if their efforts would be for naught in the future. But if they had children, then it would be different. If the emperor they were loyal to died, and there was still a son, then everyone's interests would still be guaranteed.
Their own efforts would not be in vain.
Therefore, in dynasties, the children of the emperor were called the foundation of the country.
An emperor without children could not sit on the throne.
There had never been an exception to this. That kind of situation would make too many people have ambitions that they should not have.
Of course, there was no such thing in Xuanhuang Village now. Children were only a part of it. After all, they were all cultivators. As long as they did not die accidentally, they still had a long time to live. It was not impossible for many emperors to achieve immortality. The importance of children could be said to have weakened a lot, but it could not be denied that it still existed. This was a resonance from the depths of the bloodline.
The bloodline of Yan and Huang valued this the most.
Children were the continuation of one's life.
Especially in this chaotic world, no one could guarantee that they would be able to survive.
The villagers still hoped that Yi Tianxing could have children as soon as possible.
Under the kind gazes of the villagers, although Cai Yan was shy, she did not avoid them. She openly followed Yi Tianxing forward.
Not long after, they arrived in front of the Heavenly Craft Pavilion.
The area of the Heavenly Craft Pavilion was similar to that of the Hall of Heavenly Records.
They walked in. In front of them was an empty courtyard.
In the open space, they could see a large number of craftsmen working on all kinds of items.
Some people were carving, not using wood, but bone crystals. Some were carving animals, and some were carving people. Every work was vivid and lifelike. It looked like a work of art.
Some people were forging weapons, trying to use the hundred and thousand refinements method to forge weapons.
There were carpenters making wooden beds, tables, and chairs.
There were also people who were trying to make mechanical beasts.
For example, in the courtyard, there was a wooden horse made of wood. From the looks of it, it was not much different from a real horse. However, it was not so easy to make it move.
There were also bamboo craftsmen who made bamboo dragonflies.
Staring at the Bamboo Dragonfly, he racked his brain to think about how the Bamboo Dragonfly could fly, and how it could carry a person along with it. This was the inspiration he got when he saw the Shaman being carried away by the Bamboo Dragonfly. He wanted to find out how to use the Bamboo Dragonfly.
Many craftsmen were racking their brains to come up with new ideas.
He wanted to combine his skills and cultivation.
Furthermore, whenever they encountered a difficult problem, they would gather together and discuss it with each other, using their brains to think. The problem was solved. This kind of atmosphere was very harmonious, and the idea of innovation was very strong.
When Yi Tianxing saw this, he was also very happy.
Only by communicating with each other, without any sectarian bias, could they constantly innovate, collide with each other, and stimulate different kinds of inspiration. Only then could there be the possibility of creating a miracle.
Gathering craftsmen together was definitely a wise choice.
When the craftsmen in the courtyard saw Yi Tianxing, they all greeted him. Some people were directly immersed in their own thoughts, turning a deaf ear to the outside world. Regarding this, Yi Tianxing did not blame them. He was not that arrogant. Moreover, this was the characteristic of craftsmen.
Dong dong dong!!
Hu Bin came to the front of a room and stretched out his hand to knock.
There was no response.
"Teacher Lu should be immersed in his creation now. At this time, it is very difficult for the outside world to disturb him, "Hu Bin said with some embarrassment.
"It doesn't matter. Once a true master starts to create, he will completely immerse himself in it, completely forgetting himself. I can see Teacher Lu's creation with my own eyes, "Yi Tianxing said with a smile. He was very clear about the nature of this kind of technical people.
His adoptive parents also worked in the research institute. When they were working, they also sometimes forgot about their family.
Most of the time, it was he who took care of Zhao Ziyan's life.
"Alright then, let's go in. But it's best not to make a sound. Once we interrupt his thoughts, I'm afraid Teacher Lu will lose his temper. "
Hu Bin also nodded and said.
He carefully opened the door, trying not to make any sound. This was not difficult for people who were also cultivators.
After walking in, they saw. An old man was sitting in front of a table. He was holding a variety of knives in his hands, continuously carving on the wood, making parts one by one. Some things looked inconspicuous, but in the eyes of laymen, they were simply worthless. Even if placed in front of people, they might even say, "What the hell is this?"
But they could see that one part after another was quickly being polished in his hands.
In addition to the parts that were already polished.
In a moment, the old man's hands moved quickly, and one part after another was continuously assembled. The parts that seemed to be completely unrelated were now perfectly assembled together, just like the parts of a gun that were disassembled and then quickly assembled again to form a complete gun.
A moment later, a vivid and lifelike bird appeared in front of him.
The bird spread its wings as if it was about to spread its wings and fly.
The bird's beak, neck, body, wings, and claws were all lifelike. It was as exquisite as a work of art.
Moreover, no one knew where the old man moved, but the bird actually wobbled and took a few steps.
"The Art of Engineering!!"
When Yi Tianxing saw this, his pupils constricted violently, and he let out a cry of surprise in his heart.
The bird formed by the parts could actually walk forward. This scene was full of shock. Those things, before, were just a pile of parts that were carved and polished from wood. How amazing it was that they could actually walk forward as if they were alive.
The only word that popped up in his mind was Mechanical Arts.
It was the most mysterious skill in ancient Huaxia.
The Art of Engineering could even be said to represent the most brilliant crystallization of ancient wisdom.
According to ancient records, in the Spring and Autumn Period, Lu Ban had once created a wooden bird that could fly in the sky, and it carried him to soar in the sky. Moreover, it could land safely. During the Three Kingdoms period, legend had it that Zhuge Liang had created a wooden horse and a flowing ox. The wooden horse could run, and the flowing ox could walk. These seemed incredible things, but they were the principles of the Art of Engineering. Unfortunately, these things were completely lost in the chaos of war.
These crystallizations of wisdom were eventually obliterated in the long river of time.
It was really something to sigh about. The Art of Engineering could make mechanical objects that countless people couldn't imagine.
But at that time, no one took it seriously. The rich and powerful even regarded it as an obscene skill that couldn't be shown in public. When it reached people's ears, they just treated it as a joke. They didn't pay attention to the potential value contained in it at all.
It should be known that the wooden bird made by Lu Ban could fly directly without gasoline. It was the crystallization of skill and wisdom. No one knew where the power came from and how it came about. Was it constant or expendable? If it didn't need energy. It meant that as early as the Spring and Autumn Period, Lu Ban had already created a perpetual motion machine.
This possibility was enough to scare a lot of people to death.
What modern technology could achieve energy conservation? The existence of a perpetual motion machine.
Facing this, all the engineers had to kneel down.
For many people, the Art of Engineering was mysterious. The Art of Engineering was not a simple design of any small mechanism. Even if it was the Art of Engineering, it was only the most superficial part. The real ingenuity was to create truly impossible things.
Even Yi Tianxing was shocked by Lu Shi in front of him. He actually knew the Art of Engineering. This was a truly world-shocking talent.
"The Art of Engineering?"
Cai Yan couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise.
"Who is it?"
Lu Shi slowly turned around. Although he looked old, his face was extremely red and tender. His skin exuded a soft glow, and his hair was also black. It was impossible to tell how old he was. Obviously, it could be said that he had rejuvenated an old life. But his pair of eyes revealed weather-beaten, rich life experience, vicissitudes, and hardships.
"So it's the village chief and Miss Cai."
Lu Shi glanced at Yi Tianxing and Cai Yan, and a trace of understanding appeared in his eyes. Then, he looked at Hu Bin and scolded, "You despicable disciple, how dare you betray me just like that. If I had known this would happen, I would have expelled you from the sect. "As he spoke, he looked even more furious.
However, from his tone, it could be seen that he was not really angry.
"If it weren't for your disciple, I wouldn't have known that there was such a shocking genius hidden in the village, Old Mister Lu. I should thank him. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to see Master Lu's exquisite Art of Engineering. "
Yi Tianxing looked at the mechanical bird and said with a smile, "In the past, there was a wooden bird made by Lu Ban that could fly. The Art of Engineering at that time was close to the Dao. It was miraculous. After Lu Ban's divine skill was lost, it was as difficult as ascending to the heavens to achieve the level of the Art of Engineering. However, I think that if we integrate talismans and crystals into the Art of Engineering, there is a possibility that it can fly. For example, if we inscribe Wind Talismans on the wings of this bird, we should be able to make this mechanical bird fly. "
