To the south of the Luoshui River is a civilian area in Luoyang City.

Although Luoyang was one of the rare and densely populated metropolis in the world at that time.

But in comparison, the Lifang south of Luocheng is still relatively empty and sparse.

The density of people cannot be compared with the east and west places of the imperial city north of Luoshui.

The relatively quiet Nancheng is also a paradise in the hearts of some people.

Wu Yanzong, the direct descendant of the Wu family and the son of Wu Youxu, now lives in Qingli Temple, Nancheng.

Their father and son mainly focus on traveling around the world. They are neither authentic Buddhists nor Taoist priests who worship sects.

When Wu Youxu took his son around, his main purpose was to avoid disaster.

With Wu's fire cooking oil posture, he was rational and soon felt the crisis approaching.

No power is reliable.

Wu Youxu understood this truth from the very beginning.

Therefore, during the reign of Wu Zetian, he actively hid and stayed away from the court, and fought not to be implicated in the troubles of fighting for power and profit.

His plan has been very successful over the years.

Although staying away from the court means that you cannot share the blessings.

However, he did not get into the Wu family's difficulties.

No matter how the situation changes, he still remains leisurely and contented.

Some people have even forgotten that there are people from this branch of the Wu family.

These days, Ayewu Youxu has gone to Zhongnan Mountain to practice.

Wu Yanzong stayed at Qingli Temple in Luoyang, responsible for guarding the house.

Prince Li Jun seized this rare opportunity.

Close to Wuyanzong.

According to Li Jun's speculation, since this husband can still follow Wu Yanxiu and the others to visit brothels, this shows that he is not as pure and desireless as his father.

On that day, his calm attitude of calmness in Feixian Pavilion also left a deep impression on Li Jun.

Therefore, he decided to go to Qingli Temple in person, visit Wuyanzong, and explore his reality and reality.

Qingli Temple is a two-story hip-mounted building with a must-have bell tower and drum tower on both sides of the main hall, and its popularity is not very strong.

It is no wonder that although the Wu family and his son did not publicize that they lived here.

Their father and son have long been marginal figures of the Wu family.

But the residents of Nancheng still dared not approach here easily, for fear of disturbing the tranquility of their father and son.

Before dawn, Li Jun brought Yao Kui here with him.

Wu Yanzong was sweeping the floor in front of the courtyard. When he looked up, he recognized His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Without saying a word, he immediately packed up his broom and returned to the viewing.

Wow, I'm not a good person to get along with.

Is there any way to entertain guests?

Li Jun was complaining in his heart, but he still followed him in happily.

The gate of the Taoist temple is open on both sides, so I can enter if I want to.

You dare not stop me!

Three cushions had already been placed in the inner wing room of the temple, and Wu Yanzong himself occupied one.

Li Jun sat down without saying a word.

Before he could think of the opening remarks, Wu Yanzong spoke.

"Your Highness, what's the matter with Yanzong?"

Wu Yanzong was wearing a blue robe with a straight Taoist robe, a square scarf, and a mellow voice.

Li Jun's impression of him was a little better.

In addition to being unable to figure out his temper, this person looks much more reliable than Wu Yanxiu and the others.

Li Jun didn't have the heart to explore why he didn't know Wu Yanzong, but Wu Yanzong knew him.

It's still important to do things.

He coughed a few times and said truthfully: "I want to ask Brother Yan Zong to come out of the mountain."

The expression on Wu Yanzong's face was a little loose, and His Royal Highness was so whimsical.

Over the years, Wu Youxu has repeatedly warned Wu Yanzong not to get involved in the disputes in the court.

In addition, the father and son have lived in seclusion for many years and have long been ignored.

Why did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince remember that he had come out of the mountain?

He quickly refused, but Li Jun didn't listen to his behavior at all.

Wu Yanzong's mind and courage are far above his brothers.

If such a person can be used by him, Li Jun will be developed.

He didn't understand Wu Yanzong's concerns. Since his attitude was so firm, he could only take a step back.

His heels were also numb, and Li Jun could feel that the blood flowing back to his calves was getting less and less.

If this continues, I'm afraid I'll fall.

Moving his ankles, he said, "I want to use this Taoist temple of the Yanzong brothers."

"Tao Temple?"

"Yes, if Brother Yan Zong is convenient, I hope to borrow this Taoist temple for me. I want to develop gunpowder here."

"What is gunpowder?"

Wu Yanzong fell into three consecutive questions.

If you explain this thing to you, it would be too long.

Besides, with the current production level of the Tang Dynasty, even if it produces gunpowder, it cannot be precisely purified.

I just want to popularize the advanced chemical knowledge and reaction process with you, but it is useless.

"Don't worry about anything else, I'll ask you, sulfur, saltpeter, do you have these things?"

There is really!

Wu Yanzong's face stopped, and His Royal Highness was quite versatile.

Could it be that Your Highness also wants to practice the art of elixirs?

Is this gunpowder a new type of elixir?

Sulfur saltpeter and other things are essential raw materials for alchemy.

Although Wu Yanzong did not refine alchemy himself, his father Wu Youxu was a master of alchemy and stored a lot of raw materials in the Taoist temple.

Speaking of the elixir industry, not everyone can practice it.

Haven’t you seen the prince’s grandfather Li Erfeng, who just ate too much golden elixir and left?

His Royal Highness is young, how could he remember this incident?

No, I have to stop his thoughts quickly.

Wu Yanzong was stuttering on his neck and said righteously: "Your Highness, I really don't have these things here."

"No?"

Li Jun turned his head to Yao Kui and smiled and said, "He wouldn't think that I want these things, but I want to alchemy golden elixir!"

"Don't Your Highness want to refine elixirs?"

Wu Yanzong's inexplicable expression made Yao Kui feel sad.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince actually complained that he was not clear about his words.

He quickly helped explain: "The gunpowder that the prince wants to make is not a golden elixir, but a kind of fun thing."

"Amusement stuff?"

Wu Yanzong's expression became even more confusing. Li Jun seemed to be able to see that his head was full of small spiral circles.

Although he was optimistic about Wu Yanzong, he was not familiar with this person after all.

I can't give him my old secret from the beginning and tell him that I'm doing something for weapons.

I can only lie that it is a fun thing.

It's not wrong for him to say this.

At the end of the Tang Dynasty, gunpowder did have practical applications in the fireworks industry.

It is a waste to use such powerful things as gunpowder only for fun.

It’s better to restore its essence as soon as possible and let it be used in war.
