This was the thinking of the ancients. Even if one became a monk, one could not change this deep-rooted idea. Even in modern times, this idea still exists and is something that has been engraved in the blood.

Inheritance and incense are the most important things in the eyes of the descendants of Yan and Huang.

In ancient dynasties, if an emperor had no offspring, his entire kingdom would not be stable, and his chair would not be stable. People's hearts would not be able to truly gather around him.

Why

It is because the emperor has no offspring, which means that there is no successor to the inheritance, and people's hearts are naturally unstable. The court will naturally be turbulent. After all, no one knows whether their efforts will turn into nothing in the future. But if there is an offspring, it will be different. If the emperor who is loyal now dies, there is still a son, and everyone's interests can still be guaranteed.

Your own efforts will not be in vain.

Therefore, in a dynasty, the emperor's descendants are called the foundation of the country.

An emperor without offspring cannot maintain his throne.

This has never been an exception. Such a situation will make too many people have ambitions that they shouldn't have.

Of course, Xuanhuang Village doesn't have these things now. Offspring are only part of it. After all, they are all cultivators. As long as they don't die accidentally, they still have a long time to live. The immortality that many emperors expected before may not be impossible to achieve. The importance of offspring has been reduced a lot, but it cannot be denied that it still exists. This is a resonance from the depths of the blood.

This is what the Yanhuang bloodline values most.

Offspring are the continuation of one's own life.

Especially now that we are in troubled times, no one can guarantee that they can truly survive.

The villagers still hope that Yi Tianxing can have offspring as soon as possible.

Under the kind eyes of the people, Cai Yan felt shy but did not dodge. She followed Yi Tianxing forward with confidence.

Soon, they arrived in front of Tiangong Pavilion.

The building area of Tiangong Pavilion is similar to that of Tianji Palace.

I walked in. In front of me was an empty courtyard.

In the open space, one can clearly see a large number of craftsmen making various items.

Some people are carving, not using wood, but bone crystals. Some are carving animals, and some are carving people. Each piece is lifelike and looks like a work of art.

Some people are forging weapons, trying to use techniques that require hundreds or thousands of forgings to forge the weapons.

There are carpenters making wooden beds, tables and chairs.

Some people are also trying to make mechanical beasts.

For example, in the yard, there is a wooden horse. From the outside, it looks almost the same as a real horse. But it is not so easy to make it move.

There are also bamboo craftsmen who make bamboo dragonflies.

Staring at the bamboo dragonfly, he racked his brains to figure out how the bamboo dragonfly could fly and take people with it. This was inspired by the scene where he saw the shaman being carried away by the bamboo dragonfly. He wanted to find a way to use the bamboo dragonfly.

Many craftsmen are racking their brains to think of innovation.

I want to combine skills with practice.

Moreover, when encountering a problem, they would gather together, discuss with each other, and think together to solve the problem. This kind of atmosphere is very harmonious and the idea of innovation is very strong.

Yi Tianxing was also very happy when he saw it.

Only by communicating with each other and having no prejudice against different skills can we continue to innovate, collide with the spark of wisdom, inspire different inspirations, and create the possibility of miracles.

Bringing together craftsmen is definitely a wise move.

When the craftsmen in the compound saw Yi Tianxing coming, they all greeted him. Some were so immersed in their own thoughts that they turned a deaf ear to the outside world. Yi Tianxing did not blame them for this as he was not that arrogant. Besides, this was the characteristic of craftsmen.

Boom boom boom!!

Hu Bin came to a house and knocked on it.

There was no response from inside.

"Master Lu should be immersed in his creation now. It is difficult for the outside world to disturb him at this time." Hu Bin said somewhat embarrassedly.

"It doesn't matter. Once a true master starts creating, he will devote his whole heart and soul to it and forget himself completely. It's a good opportunity for me to see Master Lu create with my own eyes." Yi Tianxing said with a smile. He knew the nature of these technical people very well.

As for my adoptive parents, they also work in a research institute. When they are so busy with work, they sometimes even forget about their family.

Most of the time, I was the one taking care of Zhao Ziyan's life.

"Well, let's go in. But it's best not to make any noise. If you interrupt your thoughts, Master Lu will probably get angry."

Hu Bin also nodded and said.

Open the door carefully, trying not to make any noise. This is not difficult for all the monks.

After walking in, I saw an old man sitting in front of a table. He was holding various knives in his hands, carving on the wood and making parts one by one. Some things looked insignificant. In the eyes of laymen, they were completely worthless. Even if they were placed in front of them, they might say, "What the hell is that?"

But you can see that each part is polished out quickly in his hands.

Plus the ones that have already been polished.

After a while, the old man's hands moved quickly, and parts were constantly assembled together. The parts that seemed unrelated at first were perfectly assembled together, just like the scene when the parts of a gun were disassembled and quickly assembled to form a complete gun.

In a moment, I saw a lifelike flying bird appear in front of me.

The bird spread its wings as if it was about to fly high.

The bird's beak, neck, body, wings, and claws are all lifelike and exquisite, just like a work of art.

Moreover, no one knew what the old man moved, but the bird actually took a few shaky steps.

"Mechanical Technique!!"

When Yi Tianxing saw this, his pupils couldn't help but shrink violently and he cried out inwardly.

The flying bird formed by the combination of parts can actually move forward. This scene is full of shock. Before, those things were just a pile of carved and polished wood parts. How amazing it is that they can move forward like a living being.

The one word that comes to mind is mechanical engineering.

The most mysterious skill in ancient China.

It can even be said that mechanical engineering represents the most brilliant wisdom of ancient times.

According to ancient records, in the Spring and Autumn Period, Lu Ban once made a wooden bird that could fly in the sky, taking him soaring in the sky. Moreover, it could land safely. During the Three Kingdoms period, it is said that Zhuge Liang made a wooden horse and a floating ox. The wooden horse can run, and the floating ox can walk. These seemingly incredible things are all the principles of mechanical technology. Unfortunately, these things were completely lost in the wars.

These crystallizations of wisdom will eventually be erased in the long river of time.

It is really something worth sighing about. Mechanical arts can create mechanical objects that are beyond the comprehension of countless people.

But no one took it seriously at the time. The powerful and wealthy regarded it as a strange and lewd technique that was not worthy of being shown in public. When people heard about it, they just treated it as a joke and did not pay attention to the potential value contained in it at all.

You know, the wooden bird made by Lu Ban can fly directly without gasoline. It is the crystallization of skill and wisdom. It is not known where the power principle inside comes from or how it comes. Is it constant or consumable? If it does not require energy, it means that Lu Ban has already made a perpetual motion machine as early as the Spring and Autumn Period.

If this possibility were to be made known to others, it would be enough to scare a lot of people to death.

What modern technology can achieve energy conservation? The existence of perpetual motion machines.

Faced with this, all the engineers had to kneel down.

For many people, mechanical engineering is mysterious. Mechanical engineering is not simply designing a small mechanism, which is only the most superficial part. The real exquisiteness is to create something truly impossible.

Even Yi Tianxing was shocked by the Master Lu in front of him. He actually knew mechanical engineering. This was truly a great talent.

"Mechanical engineering?"

Cai Yan couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise.

"who is it?"

Master Lu slowly turned around. Although he looked old, his face was extremely rosy and tender, his skin was emitting a soft glow, and his hair was black. He looked very old. Obviously, he had given his old life a new lease of life. His eyes showed that he had been through a lot, full of rich life experiences, vicissitudes and hardships.

"It turned out to be the village chief and Miss Cai."

Master Lu glanced at Yi Tianxing and Cai Yan, and a hint of understanding emerged in his eyes. Then he turned his gaze to Hu Bin and shouted, "You bad disciple, you actually sold me out like this. I should have expelled you from the sect earlier." As he said this, he looked angry and glared at them.

However, from his tone, it can 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 great talent like Mr. Lu hidden in the village. I should thank him, otherwise, I wouldn't have known that Master Lu had such exquisite mechanical skills."

Yi Tianxing fixed his eyes on the mechanical bird and said with a smile, "In the past, there was Lu Ban who made a wooden bird that could fly. The mechanical arts at that time were close to Taoism. It was magical. After Lu Ban's magical skills were lost, it was difficult for mechanical arts to achieve the level of making a wooden bird fly. However, I think that if talismans are integrated into the mechanical arts and combined with crystals, it is also possible for the mechanical bird to fly. For example, if the wings of this flying bird are engraved with the wind-controlling talisman, it should be possible for the mechanical bird to fly."

It is difficult to reproduce Lu Ban's magical skills, but it is not impossible to find another shortcut. (To be continued.)
