Great Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 87 89 Bassund the Chemist
Knowing that there are many people waiting for him outside, Zuo Ming stayed at home for three days honestly.But after three days, he really couldn't sleep anymore.

He thought to himself, "I didn't do anything wrong? Why should I be scared like a quail by them? Isn't it because of my martial arts skills? I carry a dozen or twenty grenades with me. I don't believe they can't kill you!"

With the countermeasures in place, Zuo Ming suddenly became happy, and immediately disregarded Li Chunfeng's stop, wandering all over the street.

On the first day, all was well.

The next day, nothing happened.

Gradually, Zuo Ming gave up his vigilance and continued to devote himself to the improvement of bicycles.

The so-called bicycle improvement is naturally the production of tires.

Natural rubber cannot be used as it is because it tends to soften and become sticky.To turn those natural rubbers into tires, Zuo Ming must first vulcanize them.

It's just that, although Zuo Ming was good at science in his previous life, he didn't know the specific operation of vulcanization of natural rubber, so he couldn't make tires for a while, so he could only slowly try with some vulcanized compounds.

This is a boring and dangerous job. Once Zuo Ming failed to control the amount of sulfur, which caused a fire.He himself was fine, but he burned many samples of chemical substances.

Fortunately, the laboratory was within the Forbidden Garden, which did not cause too much panic.However, because of the need to rebuild the laboratory, Zuo Ming could not continue the research on tires for a long time.

The study was interrupted for some reason, so Zuo Ming had no choice but to return home and start drawing manga, but this time, what he drew was no longer Journey to the West, but the Romance of the Gods.

Originally, Zuo Ming didn't plan to come up with this Fengshen Yanyi, but Yuan Tiangang was so interesting that he specially sent his apprentice to be his bodyguard. He couldn't let others work for nothing, could he?
While Zuo Ming was painting, Li Zhi and Murong Yi were playing flying chess, while Li Chunfeng was watching curiously.

Looking at it, Li Chunfeng was attracted.

"Master Hou, what you painted is the Taoist ancestor of Sanqing?"

With curiosity, Li Chunfeng asked.

"Isn't it? How about it, do you want to hear the story of the ancient gods?" Seeing Li Chunfeng's interest, Zuo Ming smiled with a pipe in his mouth.

Although Li Chunfeng is over 30 years old, he looks very young, as if he is only in his teens. This reverse growth is almost catching up with the later Lin Zhiying.

So getting along with such an uncle, Zuo Ming didn't feel much pressure, but felt very kind.

"The story of conferring gods in ancient times? Come and hear it!"

Li Chunfeng was really shocked.

It wasn't just Li Chunfeng who was upbeat, even Li Zhi and Murong Yi put down the flying chess and ran over eagerly.

In Zuo's house, Zuo Ming's dishes were their favorite, followed by the endless stories.

"This matter! It starts with the enthronement of King Zhou of Shang."

Seeing that everyone was interested, Zuo Ming took a puff of the big cigarette lightly, and then spoke slowly.

Zuo Ming had not only read the list of gods in the previous life, so the plot can basically be recited backwards, which is naturally very smooth.

Among those present, Li Chunfeng listened most carefully, basically keeping silent.But Li Zhi and Murong Yi were screaming strangely there.

When Zuo Ming talked about King Zhou molesting the statue of Nuwa, they just said "Hey" in a weird way; when he talked about Daji seducing Bo Yikao, they "Oh" again, typical people who are small and big.

The story of Fengshen Yanyi was very long, and Zuo Ming told it in detail, so when it was dinner time, it was only a small part of the story.

At this time, Zuo Ming was going to cook, so he couldn't continue talking.

Although Li Chunfeng felt it was a pity, he was a sensible person and didn't pester Zuo Ming to continue talking, but Li Zhi and Murong Yi were not so easy to deal with, they kept pestering Zuo Ming to continue talking.

Zuo Ming also has a way of dealing with these two boys, so he straightened his face and said, "Why are you arguing! Why are you arguing! Did you do your homework today? If you fail the exam tomorrow, be careful I'll take your skin off!"

Sure enough, after hearing this, the two little ones immediately became eggplants beaten by Shuang.

After smoothing out the two little ones, Zuo Ming walked out of the study, ready to go to the kitchen to cook.However, following Zuo Ming out of the study, Li Chunfeng's expression changed suddenly, and he stopped Zuo Ming behind him.

"As expected of a master disciple of the Xuanji Sect, you have already noticed it before the old man approaches!"

Zuo Mingzheng was surprised, not sure why Li Chunfeng's expression suddenly changed, and he saw a short old man appearing on the rockery in the distance.

"The opposite is Senior Bassund?"

The whole body is tense, Li Chunfeng said.

"Hehe! It's almost useless at this time! You should know my purpose."

Bassund smiled treacherously.As he spoke, his eyes slowly fell on Zuo Ming.

Being watched by Bassoonde, Zuo Ming felt his scalp tingling for a while, but immediately, he waved his hand and let Li Zhi and Murong Yi enter the room calmly.

"The Marquis is very curious! How did you so-called experts find me?"

This can be said to be Zuo Ming's biggest question. For no reason, suddenly a large group of people are looking for him everywhere, which is a bit strange no matter how you look at it.

"Hehe! Master Hou is calm. It's actually nothing unusual to say about it. Taoist descendants like us basically have a family heirloom treasure in their hands. For example, this one."

Smiling lightly, Bassund took out an old pelvis from his bosom, and at this time there was a plate of clear water on the pelvis, and a thin bright white needle floated on top of the clear water.

Miraculously, no matter how the old man moved the pelvis, the thin needle was pointing straight at Zuo Ming.

Zuo Ming was slightly stunned for a moment.

He originally thought that Bassund would come up with some powerful magic weapon with various lighting effects, but he didn't expect it to be just a compass.

Seeing Zuo Ming stunned, Bassoon thought he was shocked by himself, so he smiled triumphantly at that time.

"This thing was born out of Sinan in the Warring States Period, but it is more useful than Sinan! Everything can be sensed! It was made by my ancestor with the wisdom of the sky! How about it? Let's get into the master's eyes!"

Bassund did have the capital to be proud of, the compass was only invented in the Song Dynasty, but it was not expected to exist in the Tang Dynasty, and it was still from his sect.This is absolutely a big deal.

This thing is different from the guide car and Sinan. The guide car relies on mechanical force to guide the direction, while the Sinan uses natural magnets. It is not easy to find, and it is easy to lose magnetism when heated, and the pointing is extremely unstable.

Although the compass also uses natural magnets, it is made of friction steel needles, which will not suffer much resistance when put into water, so the pointing is extremely accurate.

Seeing that Bassoonde was bragging there, with a proud face, Zuo Ming gave him a thumbs up with a strange expression, "Amazing! Really amazing! The patriarch of your school is indeed the best in wisdom! Zuo admires it! But as far as I know, this Things are not always accurate.”

Saying that, Zuo Ming smiled softly, took out a pitch-black stone from his pocket, and then gently threw it towards the little old man.

Bassoonde is considered a master of martial arts, so he caught the stone very easily, but even though he caught the stone, his expression suddenly changed drastically.

He recognized this black stone, and it looked the same as the one handed down by his ancestor. It should also be a strange stone that could be made into Sinan.

He really didn't expect that Zuo Ming would carry this kind of stone with him.Looking at what the pointer was pointing at, it turned to his right hand holding the black stone.

"You probably haven't thought about this kind of situation! Now, old man, you might as well guess, is the pointer pointing to the magnet because it's down, or is it pointing down because of the magnet?"

Looking at Bassund's stunned expression, Zuo Ming smiled softly.

In fact, Zuo Ming has been aware of the fact that his body is magnetic. This strange phenomenon is the same as his indestructible body. It is difficult to explain clearly, so he did not delve into it at the time, but he has developed it since then. Get in the habit of carrying your magnet with you.The defense is to be discovered that he has magnetism on his body.

"Guess? Why does the old man have to guess? According to pre-Qin documents, the immortal body is the indestructible body of a vajra! If Master Hou is the person I'm looking for, I'll know if I test it?"

His face was a bit ugly, Bassund said coldly.After finishing speaking, the whole person jumped towards Zuo Ming like a big bird.

Li Chunfeng had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw Bassoonde making a move, he immediately drew out the long sword in his hand and went to meet him.

When Li Chunfeng's long sword struck, Bassoonde smiled sullenly, and then he flashed the long sword with his right hand. Immediately, Li Chunfeng's long sword made a "chi chi" sound and rose There was a puff of white smoke, and then, Li Chunfeng found that his sword was riddled with holes.

"sulfuric acid!?"

Smelling a pungent smell in the air, Zuo Ming suddenly screamed in horror.

The old guy actually has sulfuric acid in his hands!And looking at it like this, it turned out to be extremely high-purity sulfuric acid, how could this be possible?This is something even he can't get out of it!

"Sulfuric acid? What kind of magic is that?"

Hearing Zuo Ming's exclamation, Li Chunfeng asked with an ugly face.

However, Zuo Ming did not answer him, but turned to look at Bassund's right hand.

Seeing this, Zuo Ming's blood suddenly boiled up!
This old guy's five fingers were actually covered with a layer of transparent film!Isn’t this his plastic gloves (Note: To prevent misunderstanding, let me explain that it is plastic, not rubber, and not all rubber at hand cannot resist sulfuric acid)?

"Catch him! Catch him! I want to live!"

After discovering the plastic gloves, Zuo Ming suddenly went crazy, shouting loudly at the secret guard who had already heard the sound.

He couldn't help being excited, judging from the fact that this old guy was able to take out such things as a compass and sulfuric acid, Zuo Ming can be sure that besides being a master of martial arts, he is also a rare chemist!
He finally knew why he was revered as a holy master by the Nanyang countries!With such a solid set of chemical knowledge, in this day and age, not being a god is considered low-key for him.
