Chapter 132: All Liberal Arts Students

Xu Wenwu swallowed a mouthful of the mouth-sealing Dao power, and his cultivation base improved slightly.

Unable to care about the increase in progress, Xu Wenwu said solemnly: "The so-called 'troops and horses move, but grain and fodder go first'! When fighting a war, victory or defeat is often determined by logistics; how can one say that supplies are useless?"

As soon as these words came out, the surroundings suddenly became quiet, and Seeing Ji Liuli asked: "Who is this person?"

Little Wei Yuan said: "Xu Wenwu, he came from another world, the same as the one who founded the Immortal Sect Unified Examination."

Seeing Ji Liuli was skeptical: "A visitor from outside the heavens? Doesn't look like it! Those visitors from outside the heavens in history were all stunningly talented, achieving the status of True Lord Yu Jing as easily as eating and drinking. How does this guy look so mediocre?"

Little Wei Yuan thought for a while and said: "He's a good hand at raising horses. I'm trying to get him to plant trees; I haven't had time to study his other uses yet."

Seeing Ji Liuli immediately said: "You go busy yourself with your work; leave this guy to us, let's see what he knows."

Little Wei Yuan nodded and then said to Xu Wenwu: "Say whatever you know, remember not to lie."

"He can't lie." Seeing Ji Liuli lifted Xu Wenwu in front of her and pressed him into a chair, saying: "What I like most is when someone lies to me, because then I have a reason to clean them up. Do you understand?"

Xu Wenwu nodded immediately.

Seeing Ji Liuli asked: "Since you are a visitor from outside the heavens, you must have wanted to dominate the world when you first arrived."

Xu Wenwu was shocked: "How did you know?"

Seeing Ji Liuli said impatiently: "You're not the only visitor from outside the heavens; many came before you. Everyone had the same nature when they first arrived; the men wanted to be kings of men, and the women wanted to marry kings of men."

Xu Wenwu never expected that he wasn't the only one, and his arrogance was immediately extinguished.

Seeing Ji Liuli asked: "Do you think there is anything that you have on your side, but we don't have here, that you can use to build your first foundation?"

This question was simple, Xu Wenwu had thought about it countless times, so he blurted out: "That naturally has to be gunpowder!"

"Good, say it, what is the formula for gunpowder?"

A moment later, Little Wei Yuan arranged for Yun Feifei to lead some cultivators to set up warning traps in the surrounding area, and also had Xu Waner take a group of people to cut down trees. At present, there wasn't even a decent house in the boundary domain; at the very least, they had to build a few wooden houses to shelter from the wind and rain. Little Wei Yuan looked up at the sky and saw patches of cotton clouds; if nothing unexpected happened, he was afraid there would be heavy rain tomorrow.

After explaining these tasks, Little Wei Yuan hurried back to the foot of the mountain, wanting to see how the questioning went. However, based on his understanding of Xu Wenwu, he shouldn't be able to ask anything.

At this time, a formation was set up at the foot of the main peak to isolate the inside from the outside. Outside the formation, one could see the people inside, but couldn't hear what they were saying. At this time, Xu Wenwu was facing Seeing Ji Liuli and Behind Bao Yun, exceptionally excited, talking eloquently, waving his arms from time to time, with the spirit of conquering the world. Zhang Sheng and Xiang Xiaoyu were not inside at this time, but were looking at the scenery outside. Both of their faces were a bit ugly.

A bad feeling arose in Little Wei Yuan's heart, and he asked: "How is it?"

Zhang Sheng snorted and said: "Do more proper things in the future, and associate less with strange people!"

Little Wei Yuan was inexplicably scolded, so he could only look at Xiang Xiaoyu.

Fortunately, Xiang Xiaoyu was better to talk to than Zhang Sheng, saying: "That guy is a complete straw bag. At first, he blew gunpowder as if it were god-like, but when asked in detail, he only knew that gunpowder was made of charcoal, sulfur, and something called saltpeter. But he only knew the name saltpeter; he didn't know where the specific raw materials came from or how to refine them at all!

He also said that gunpowder could be used in many places, such as firecrackers and cannonballs. But from what I heard, the power of firecrackers and bombs is completely different; they should be loaded with two different things, but he thinks they are both loaded with gunpowder; this is clearly nonsense!

Then this guy also bragged about something called cement, claiming it to be the blood of industry; this time it was even more outrageous, he didn't remember a single component of the formula.

Finally, he said there was a most important raw material called steel, which was refined from iron. Although the steel in his mouth didn't sound like much, it was far worse than the steel we know. But how iron was refined into steel on their side was another thing he didn't know!"

Little Wei Yuan didn't know what to say either; he had already experienced this once, so now he was using Xu Wenwu's talents in other areas. It was clear that this Xu Wenwu was also unlearned and unskilled in that world of theirs; if he were born in this world, he shouldn't even be able to pass the Licentiate exam, belonging to the old Licentiate who never passed the exam in his whole life.

"I'll go in and listen." Little Wei Yuan said anyway. With him present, if Xu Wenwu blew too much, he shouldn't lose his life.

Little Wei Yuan walked into the barrier, and Zhang Sheng and Xiang Xiaoyu followed him in. After looking at the scenery for a while, their moods improved a bit, and they could tolerate the straw bag for a while longer. Inside the barrier, Xu Wenwu saw more people, especially since his wise master had returned, his spirit was greatly boosted, and he said deeply: "What I said just now was just clever tricks, I usually don't bother to learn them. Actually, my main talent is in poetry! I had some insights a while ago and have a new poem."

"Recite it and let us hear." Seeing Ji Liuli looked very interested.

Xu Wenwu was encouraged, and his poetic spirit suddenly flared up, chanting: "Don't you see the water of the Yellow River coming from the sky..."

Seeing Ji Liuli smiled and continued: "... rushing to the sea and never returning. Continue."

How could he continue? Xu Wenwu was shocked beyond measure, stuttering and unable to speak.

At this time, Behind Bao Yun said: "Pick a poem you can recite in full, and then tell me who the author is and how many years it is from you."

Xu Wenwu racked his brains, only remembering one or two lines of most poems, and some he couldn't even tell if they were poems or lyrics. After thinking for a long time, he finally found one: "Moonlight before my bed..."

As for what year and month Li Bai was born, how could he remember that? He only remembered the Tang Dynasty, and then Yang Imperial Consort and Gao Lishi.

Fortunately, Behind Bao Yun was much more lenient, only needing a rough range, within five hundred years up or down.

Fortunately, Xu Wenwu roughly knew the era of the Three Kingdoms, and could even be specific to years like 198 or 200. Based on this, he pushed forward a few hundred years and said: "Li Bai's era was about 1,500 years from me."

After hearing this, Behind Bao Yun was thoughtful and said: "When the previous poem 'Bring in the Wine' first appeared in our history books, it was 6,900 years ago. The poem 'Quiet Night Thought' he just recited first appeared 3,100 years ago, a difference of 3,800 years. All three of them copied Li Bai, which means that both of them were born after Li Bai and were born before Xu Wenwu. However, if their world has the ability to backtrack time..."

!.

Zhang Sheng said: "No need to consider this for now. Backtracking time is equivalent to reversing the Great Dao, and it is of the same nature as creating heaven and earth. In our world, even immortals can only influence the past and cannot truly return to the past. The great power of their world does not belong to themselves, and backtracking time is basically impossible. Even if there is, it can only be a few people, and it is impossible to happen to people like him."

"Why?" Xiang Xiaoyu was relatively simple and asked directly.

Zhang Sheng was still very patient with Xiang Xiaoyu and explained: "In their world, backtracking time must inevitably gather the power of the world. For such a major event, the people sent back to the past must be carefully selected. He is too ordinary, and such things cannot fall on him."

Xu Wenwu finally understood; it meant that those world-class major projects, such as entering a black hole, were not his turn for such suicidal tasks.

After listening to Zhang Sheng's words, Behind Bao Yun nodded and said: "If we don't consider time backtracking, then it's simple. If that world is also progressing in order, then Xu Wenwu is the latest visitor from outside the heavens. In their world, Li Bai has only been dead for 1,500 years. But at least 6,900 years ago, visitors from outside the heavens after Li Bai had already arrived here. In other words, the time of our two worlds is different; their side should be much slower than ours."

Seeing Ji Liuli's expression was different, and she said: "I originally wanted to calculate it, but I couldn't calculate his luck at all. However, I saw a bit of the aura of all things perishing in his soul. This kind of aura generally doesn't appear on a person's soul. According to what Yun'er just said, there is actually another possibility, which is that their world has already stagnated, or even been destroyed. And these visitors from outside the heavens are all souls thrown out when the world was destroyed, and for some reason arrived here."

Behind Bao Yun had a milky white small round bottle in her hand and said: "But this cannot explain how this thing came with him."

Seeing Ji Liuli said: "I am slightly proficient in alchemy and medicine; I will study this so-called immortal pill in a while. To thoroughly understand it, I'm afraid we have to wait for people from the Profound Bright Hall and the Creation Temple to come."

Behind Bao Yun shook the small bottle, smiled slightly at Xu Wenwu, and said: "As for the formula for plastic, we won't ask; if we ask, you probably won't know either."

With Behind Bao Yun's smile, Xu Wenwu suddenly felt his breathing stop, his heart skipped several beats, and he lost several years of his life.

The big stars in the previous world were all seen on the screen, and Xu Wenwu felt nothing when watching them. But now Behind Bao Yun was right in front of him, and the pressure came rushing toward him, which was not something an ordinary person could bear.

Xu Wenwu didn't know where the courage came from and said: "This humble one dares to ask, does this world know about physics, chemistry, and calculus?"

Behind Bao Yun's eyes lit up: "Do you know?"

Xu Wenwu hurriedly said: "I don't know, just asking." After thinking about it, he added: "I learned it back then, but now I've forgotten it completely."

For a moment, Xu Wenwu felt as if he had seen a dangerous light in Behind Bao Yun's eyes, but it also seemed like an illusion.

Seeing Ji Liuli, Zhang Sheng, and Behind Bao Yun exchanged a glance silently. If it weren't for the fact that visitors from outside the heavens could not be soul-searched, Xu Wenwu would have been arranged by now. History books had long recorded that if one soul-searched a visitor from outside the heavens, there would only be one result, which was that the soul would fly away and scatter, and nothing would be gained; even if an Immortal Lord took action, what they would see would only be a piece of chaos.

Xu Wenwu still didn't know that he had almost been doomed by a slip of the tongue; at this moment, he was just hating in his heart: "Why are they all liberal arts students!"
