"It's the Cold Mountain Temple, a small temple. It's normal that they don't know the 72 Ultimate Arts. You can't expect any monk to be as powerful as the Dharma Hall of the Shaolin Temple. If there's a chance next time, I'll bring you to the Shaolin Temple …"
Inside the carriage, Li Yi was comforting Miss.Liu, who didn't know the 72 Ultimate Arts of Shaolin. Looking at her disappointed expression, Li Yi suspected that accompanying the old madame was just an excuse, and that she wanted to see the legendary Shaolin Kung Fu.
One had to know that in the wuxia stories he had told her, every monk was an expert who looked down on the martial arts world.
Fortunately, the old monk really didn't know those Kung Fu. Otherwise, if the two of them were to fight, the Cold Mountain Temple would be torn down.
Li Yi looked at her and advised, "Don't ask the master such questions in the future. A monk should keep a low profile. Even if he really knew these Kung Fu, he wouldn't say it out loud."
Looking at Miss.Liu nodding as if she understood his words, Li Yi felt relieved.
It seemed that he had misunderstood her. Although Ruyi had a bad temper, she was not as stubborn as he thought.
"Well, since he doesn't want to admit it, I'll just test him next time …" Miss.Liu said as she looked out of the window.
"…" Li Yi decided to take back his thoughts.
Suddenly, he seemed to realize something. He turned to look at her and asked, "You don't know …"
…
…
"I really don't know the Thousand-Leaf Palm of Mercy."
"And the Vajra Palm, I've never heard of it …"
"There are countless scriptures in the library. Which one is the 'Muscle-bone Strengthening Scripture'?"
In the Cold Mountain Temple, the old monk looked at his disciples who had bruises all over their faces and asked, "What happened? Why are you all in such a sorry state? Was there a fight in the temple?"
A young monk hugged his arms and shed two lines of aggrieved tears. He choked and said, "There was a female benefactor just now …"
…
Li Yi sighed and said, "Ruyi, it's better if you don't go to the Cold Mountain Temple anymore. Their Eighteen Bronze Men Formation and Vajra Demon Subduing Formation are very powerful. Even a grandmaster wouldn't be able to escape easily once they're trapped. Especially the Eighteen Bronze Men, they hold iron rods in their hands and their bodies emit golden light —"
Miss.Liu's eyes were full of fighting spirit, "Is that so? I'd like to see if it's really as powerful as you say it is —"
The carriage drove into the city gate. Miss.Liu didn't plan to take the carriage back to the Li family. She planned to walk back slowly and experience the local customs in the capital.
Li Yi did not intend to accompany her, but for the safety of the people in the capital, he got off the carriage. He dismissed the servants who wanted to stay and let them go back with the little fatty.
A beautiful young lady walked in front. When she passed by a stall or a shop, she would go in and take a look. Two handsome young masters followed behind her. A little further away, a few guards lagged far behind. They were not as nervous as they used to be.
With Miss.Liu around, nothing would happen to His Royal Highness. If even she couldn't do it, it would be useless for them to go up —
Miss.Liu had just bought a piece of fashionable cloth. When she saw another shop with more luxurious decorations, she immediately handed the cloth to Li Yi and walked in.
Li Xuan's bodyguard tactfully walked over and took on the role of a porter.
"Do you know, I found a kind of sturdy and light cloth in the capital. It's perfect for making kites. The capital is really not something Qing 'an Prefecture can compare to. There are many good things here. I searched everywhere in Qing' an Prefecture, but I couldn't find a suitable cloth." As Li Xuan walked, he said, "I've tried it before. The kites made from this kind of cloth can stay in the air for a longer period of time. Yesterday, a guard ran down a steep slope and actually flew more than ten zhang in the air. However, he didn't fly too high. The highest he flew was about two zhang above the ground."
Li Xuan wasn't satisfied with growing wings on his mind. He wanted to plant wings on the guards of the Prince's Mansion. Fortunately, the guards of the Prince's Mansion were all experts. Even if they fell from a height of three to two feet, they would be fine. Otherwise, Prince Ning Mansion would definitely become the largest sanatorium for the disabled in the Jing Kingdom.
According to his current knowledge, to be able to do this was already not bad. At the very least, he was in the right direction. He wasn't like that fellow who tied a rocket launcher to a chair and pulled two kites in his hands and wanted to fly into the sky.
"Also, I'm also making the hot air balloon that you mentioned last time. But there's a big problem. The cloth isn't fireproof and it's very likely to burn. There's also no suitable fuel. Even if I fly, I won't be able to last long …"
Under the inspiration of Li Yi, Li Xuan's thinking had already far surpassed the people of this era. After such a long time, he finally understood that there was only one person in this world who could discuss these things with him.
Geniuses were all lonely. Ordinary people couldn't understand the pain of not being able to find a confidant in the entire world. These words had been bottled up in his mind for a long time. Finally, he found someone who was worth talking to and who could understand him. From the beginning, his mouth hadn't closed.
"The direction is right. The material and fuel for the hot air balloon is indeed the biggest problem. There's something called tung oil. It's very light and heat-resistant. I can try to apply it on the cloth. As for the fuel, there's also something called Fierce Kerosene. Maybe I can give it a try …"
Li Yi had discovered a long time ago that Miss.Liu had no immunity to good-looking cloth. She obviously didn't know how to sew clothes, but every time she went out on the street, she would buy some cloth. Last time, two pieces of cloth were bitten by rats. In a fit of anger, she chased the rats out of their holes and tore them into pieces …
Accompanying a woman shopping was a very tiring thing. Miss.Liu entered the cloth shop and couldn't come out for a while. Li Yi casually sat down at a noodle stall next to the cloth shop and continued to complete his plan to cultivate a great scientist.
"Guest … Guest, would you like to eat noodles?"
A shy voice came from the opposite side. Li Yi raised his head and saw a skinny girl around ten years old looking at them.
The next moment, the little girl was pulled to the back by a woman with a white scarf wrapped around her head. The woman said with a smile, "Children don't know anything. Please rest as much as you want."
The two young masters in front of them had extraordinary temperaments. The one on the left could probably buy the whole noodle stall with just one piece of clothing. How could such nobles eat noodles here …
Li Yi saw the little girl hiding behind the woman and looking at them with a wronged expression. He smiled and said, "A bowl of noodles. Put more chopped green onions, no coriander."
Having lived two lives, he didn't have the habit of not eating on the street. A few months ago, he and Xiao Huan ate a bowl of vegetarian noodles on the street of Qing 'an Prefecture. It was better than any delicacy.
Today, he had eaten something in the morning. He was already hungry. Just thinking of the steaming hot sour noodle soup made his appetite increase.
The woman was stunned for a moment, then immediately nodded and said, "Yes, please wait a moment. The noodles will be served soon."
The skinny little girl washed a rough porcelain bowl five or six times before putting it on the table. The woman cooked a bowl of noodles. The noodles were 30% more than usual. She seasoned it, sprinkled a handful of chopped green onions, and immediately brought it over.
"Guest, the noodles are ready."
It was just a bowl of wheat flour in front of him. There wasn't even a single green vegetable, but it smelled extraordinarily fragrant. Li Yi looked at the woman in surprise. The sauce she had just put in was definitely not ordinary.
Li Xuan smelled the fragrance and couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva. He hesitated for a moment, then raised his head and said, "Give me a bowl too."
A guard came forward and was about to say something when Li Xuan waved his hand. He had no choice but to leave.
A moment later, at the noodle stall on the side of the street, two noblemen with extraordinary temperaments were eating noodles, which became a different kind of scenery on the street.
Liu Ruyi walked out of the cloth shop with a roll of cloth in his arms and saw such a scene.
