The Great Tang Dynasty: Heavenly Official Bestows Blessings, Starting with a Little Rhinoceros Offer

Chapter 48 Little Rhinoceros Yearns to Control Thunder

The little ox tilted its head back, staring intently at the overhead light without blinking.

In the pitch-black night, this luminous object made the entire room as bright as day.

It is many times brighter than the candles used in the palace.

And what's most amazing is that the light isn't dazzling at all.

It's quite stable and doesn't flicker like a candle flame.

The little guy also noticed that when he entered the room, Shi Hu casually pressed a button.

As if some kind of magical spell had been cast, with a snap, all the darkness was instantly dispelled.

After regaining her senses, Xiao Sizi raised her head and looked at Jiang Lin with bright, sparkling eyes.

"Shihu! Shihu!"

"Wow, that's amazing! You made something shiny so quickly!"

As she spoke, she stretched out her little hand and said in a coquettish tone.

"Sizi wants to learn too!"

"How about you teach the rhinoceros, Master?"

"Now I won't be afraid of the dark when I walk at night!"

Jiang Lin could only helplessly reach out and affectionately pat the little guy's head.

"You silly goose."

"That's not magic."

"This is science."

The little guy tilted his head after hearing that.

"Why the duck?"

"Is it very difficult?"

"Sizi will study very hard!"

Seeing his apprentice's serious expression, Jiang Lin had no choice but to patiently explain.

"This is called an electric light."

"It's an appliance from Master's world."

"It's not driven by magic."

Xiao Sizi continued to press for answers, her questions shrouded in doubt.

"Electrical appliances?"

"What kind of electrical appliance is that?"

"Is it edible?"

Jiang Lin continued to explain, trying to use descriptions that a child could understand.

"Electrical appliances are devices that have electricity passed through them to perform their functions."

"For example, the light above our heads will light up and become brighter after the electricity is turned on."

"And that black box over there, that's called a television."

"After being powered on, it can display moving images."

Xiao Sizi was still completely confused by Jiang Lin's explanation.

Her little brows furrowed, as if she were looking at something profound.

Then, she asked curiously.

"Then... what is an electric duck?"

"Where's the electricity?"

Jiang Lin was stunned for a moment, as he currently only possessed water-related magic.

There is no lightning magic or lightning control, nor can I conjure a lightning ball on the spot to demonstrate.

However, he quickly found a very intuitive example.

"Does Mingda know about thunderstorms?"

"There was a loud rumbling sound in the sky."

"Then inside the dark clouds."

Suddenly, something very bright flashed by.

"That's electricity!"

Upon hearing this description, Xiao Sizi, who had been looking curious, was taken aback.

She shrank back in fear and instinctively snuggled into Jiang Lin's arms.

Clearly, the little guy knows what thunder is.

"ah!"

"The rhinoceros is scared!"

After all, there's the deafening sound of thunder and the lightning that tears the sky apart.

Let alone a two-year-old child, even many adults would feel an instinctive fear.

In response, Jiang Lin hugged his little apprentice even tighter.

"Don't be afraid."

"There's a master here."

"6

"Nothing can harm Mingda!"

With Jiang Lin's comforting words, the little guy finally came to his senses.

Looking up at Shi Hu's calm expression, I immediately felt much more at ease.

Then it nuzzled its little head affectionately against Jiang Lin's chest.

"Uh-huh!

'

"Master Hu is the best!"

"Master Hu will protect his brother!"

Jiang Lin then said with a smile.

"Actually, electricity can be tamed."

"As long as you don't actively go to dangerous places."

"There's nothing scary about electricity."

"Look, it can even help us with lighting."

"And who knows, maybe in the future..."

Jiang Lin paused, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes.

"Mingda can also actively control lightning!"

After all, no one can predict what will happen in the future. As you complete the duties of the Three Officials each week, you will unlock more rewards.

Who knows, one day I might acquire magic related to lightning.

By then, his little apprentice will also be able to conjure lightning with his bare hands.

The thought of that scene is incredibly exciting.

And to hear that there will be an opportunity in the future to master this amazing ability.

The little guy's eyes were full of anticipation.

After finishing the discussion about electricity, Jiang Lin carried his little apprentice into the bathroom, preparing to help her wash up and go to bed.

Arriving at the bright sink, Jiang Lin held the baby in one arm and took out a spare toothbrush with the other.

Then, he raised his hand and turned on the tap.

"Splash!"

Clear, warm water flowed from the silver faucet, still emitting a faint steam.

Upon seeing this, the little ox exclaimed in excitement once again.

"Wow!"

"Shuishui came out by herself!"

This scene of water flowing out with a single press was something she had never seen even in the imperial palace, and it filled her with a sense of wonder.

She stretched out her little hand and tentatively touched the water.

"It's so hot!"

"So comfortable!"

Then, Xiao Sizi turned her attention to the large mirror in front of the sink.

This mirror is extremely clear, completely different from the bronze mirrors of the Tang Dynasty.

Little Sizi excitedly pointed inside and shouted loudly.

"Shihu! Shihu!"

"Look, duck!"

"Sizi and Shihu got stuffed inside!"

"There's also a Shihu and a Sizi inside!"

Jiang Lin simply smiled faintly at this.

"You silly goose."

"This is a mirror."

"Our appearance is merely revealed by the photograph."

"It wasn't put inside."

After hearing this, Xiao Sizi tilted his head.

Then she waved her little hand forward.

The adorable little child reflected in the mirror made the exact same gesture.

Even the surprised little expression on their faces was exactly the same.

Now, Little Sizi was even more excited.

"It really is!"

"That's awesome!"

Meanwhile, Jiang Lin had already squeezed toothpaste onto the toothbrush.

Then I poured a cup of warm water into the mouthwash cup.

When Jiang Lin handed the cup to Xiao Sizi.

The latter, out of curiosity, leaned over and took a sniff.

"Master..."

"Is this delicious?"

Jiang Lin smiled and shook his head.

"This isn't for you, Mingda."

"This is for washing your face and brushing your teeth clean."

Then, Jiang Lin patiently explained how to use a toothbrush.

Little Sizi was very clever and had a high level of comprehension; he quickly nodded.

"Okay!"

Then, she eagerly opened her little mouth.

Jiang Lin put the toothbrush in his mouth and began to brush gently.

Also, because the toothpaste has a mixed lemon and mint flavor.

It made her feel a sweet and cool sensation in her mouth.

And it keeps making bubbles in my mouth.

This made Xiao Sizi feel even more curious.

"Mmm..."

She squinted her eyes happily, but Jiang Lin added something else.

Toothpaste is used to protect teeth.

"Although it tastes sweet."

"But Mingda, please don't swallow it!"

"Remember to spit it out."

At that moment, the little guy heard these words.

A hint of embarrassment appeared on her small face.

Because...because the toothpaste tasted too sweet just now.

She couldn't resist and secretly swallowed a little bit.

"ah.."

Hearing his master say that he couldn't swallow it, he was immediately startled.

He quickly put a mouthful of mouthwash in his mouth.

"Gurgle gurgle..."

Then he spat it all out.
