Chapter 1134: The clash of ancient and modern cultures!
At the same time, in the Imperial Palace of Dali.
In the Imperial garden, the Emperor of Dali was dressed to the nines. He held a handful of bait in his hand and quietly fed the fish in the water.
Behind him, a Man in Black knelt on one knee, as if he was saying something.
“Are you saying that the Crown Prince and the others will personally come out of the city to welcome us?” the Emperor’s Hand paused.
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
“The Crown Prince, the second Prince, and the third Prince are very respectful to the wise, and they’ve tried their best to invite that person …” The Man in Black did not dare to hide anything.
“Treat the wise with respect? If I’m not wrong, that person didn’t agree to it, right?” The Emperor of Dali threw out a handful of bait.
“It is!”
“That person rejected us, but he left with Grand Preceptor ning’s men,” the Man in Black said respectfully.
“You can’t solve it?”
The Emperor of Dali turned around and looked at him.
“I’m slow-witted …”The Man in Black knelt down.
“The Grand Preceptor is still too old-fas.h.i.+oned …”
The Emperor of Dali turned around and looked at the fish in the water that were fighting for the bait. He said calmly,””It’s been a thousand years. The ritual music is about to collapse, but the Grand Preceptor is still holding on to that …”
The Man in Black didn’t dare to reply.
After a long while, the Emperor of Dali asked,””Tell me, in our Li Dynasty, who is superior? me or the Grand Preceptor?”
“I … I don’t … Don’t know!” The black-robed man’s body trembled violently in fear.
“Tell me, if it wasn’t for the Grand Preceptor, would I have been able to conquer today’s world?”
“Your Majesty, please … Please spare my life!”
The Man in Black almost fainted.
“It’s fine …”
The Emperor of Dali seemed to be a little dispirited, and after throwing the last bait, he turned and left.
Not long after he left, the entire imperial garden collapsed, and all the living beings were turned into dust …
……
On the carriage, ye chen looked at the donkey in charge of pulling the carriage and found it more and more interesting.””He actually knows what separation is …”
The so-called heart of separation referred to the psychology of Buddhism. It referred to the heart of injustice and the inability to treat all living beings equally. There was a difference between good and evil, between good and bad, between close and distant …
The donkey wiggled its large ears and said rather arrogantly,””Tongtong knows a lot. My old master taught me all this …”
“You are called Tong Tong?” The cute little baby in ye Chen’s arms could not help but say.
It was not the first time the little girl had encountered animals that could talk, such as little black, but it was the first time she had seen an animal that could read.
“That’s right. Tongtong was the name that master gave me. What’s your name?” The donkey replied.
The little thing struggled in ye Chen’s arms as if it had met someone of the same age. It said excitedly,”My name is ye Mengmeng, you can just call me Mengmeng.”
“Mengmeng, do you know how to study?” The donkey asked.
“I don’t like studying, I hate studying, and I’m still in kindergarten …” The little guy shook his head.
“What’s a kindergarten?”
The donkey’s quivering ears paused in surprise.””I’ve only heard of primary school, Imperial College …”
Then, it said in a heavy tone,””You have to read more. My old master said that reading can open your mind. I followed old master for dozens of years and studied in the Imperial College for a few years. Later on, I became the top scholar, but old master still complained that I was shallow …”
“Top scholar?”
Ye Chen’s expression stiffened slightly and he said in surprise,””You’re also a top scorer?”
“That’s right, that was decades ago. Back then, I was in time for the imperial examination …”
“The old master chased me out and told me to take the Imperial examinations. He said that if I couldn’t get the top scorer, he would kill me to go with his wine …” The donkey said with a hint of lingering fear.
Ye chen looked at the little guy in his arms, his expression a little unnatural.
The ancient imperial examination was much more difficult than the college entrance examination today. However, a beast had suppressed all humans and won the top spot.
As for the daughter in his arms, su Yuhan would ask her to study as if she wanted her life.
As if sensing that a certain ye’s expression was not good, Mengmeng stuck out her tongue and said somewhat unconvinced,””Is the top scholar very powerful? Then let me test you, do you know what Pi is?”
“Pi?”
The donkey’s hooves stopped and it turned back to look at her.””What is Pi?”
Even the blind old man couldn’t help but p.r.i.c.k up his ears.
Ye chen did not know whether to laugh or cry.
Although the little fellow was in kindergarten, she ate his pills as if they were candy, so her memory had long surpa.s.sed that of ordinary people. Most high school students might not even know as much as her.
“You don’t even know Pi?”
Sure enough, the little guy was very proud.”Pi is the ratio of the circ.u.mference to the diameter of a circle. It’s equivalent to the product of infinite numbers. It’s about 3.141592654 …” He said.
The donkey’s eyes were blank,’circ.u.mference? Diameter? Score? Multiply? Ji?”
“Let me test you again!“
“Do you know what the Goldbach’s conjecture is?” the little guy smiled slyly.
Goldbach’s conjecture?”
“What is that?” the donkey was confused again.
The little fellow happily shook ye Chen’s arm. Goldbach’s conjecture was proposed by a great mathematician. Any integer greater than one can be written as the sum of three prime numbers.”
“Whole number? Prime number?”
The donkey was once again dumbfounded. It thought that it was very knowledgeable, but it had never heard of such things.
“What’s one plus one?”the little fellow stuck out her tongue.
“I know that. I’ve learned calculations before. It’s two …” The donkey heaved a sigh of relief.
“How do you know it’s two? How can you prove it?” The little fellow did not give up.
“Of course it’s what the sage said, equal to two,”
“Who are the Saints? Mathematician or physicist? Did he prove that one plus one equals two? Where’s the proof formula?”
“……”
The donkey looked up at the sky.
He started to doubt his life.
Ye chen looked at it sympathetically. Before this, it was the top scholar, but it had been completely led into the ditch by this naughty little fellow.
Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but pinch the little guy’s face.””Alright, don’t make things difficult for me …”
You’re a modern person, yet you’re bullying an ancient person. Is this appropriate?
The blind old man took a look and, like a donkey in meditation, couldn’t help but urge,””Let’s hurry!”
Even though he said that, his lips were moving slightly. “It’s a good thing I didn’t show off my knowledge earlier, or I’d be so embarra.s.sed …”
“When I go back, I must ask the old master what Pi is, what is perimeter, diameter, and why one plus one equals two …”
Thinking of this, he once again regained his previous calm,”Old master is a Saint who rules the world and has learned from both ancient and modern times. You must know, right …”
……
The donkey, who was confused by the little fellow’s questions, walked very slowly. It took about an hour to reach its destination.
It was a field that looked like an ancient mountain village. Smoke was rising from the kitchen, and chickens and dogs were crowing …
The only difference was that the villagers were all dressed in Confucian robes. Some farmers held Scriptures in their hands, and some dung pickers were full of words.
“Master, we’ve arrived.”
The donkey finally stopped in front of a wooden door.
