Chapter 1134 The Collision of Ancient and Modern Cultures!
At the same time, in the Dali Palace.
In the imperial garden, the Dali Emperor, dressed in a splendid outfit, held a bucket 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 telling something.
The Dali Emperor paused and said, "Are you saying that the prince and his men went out of the city to welcome him?"
"Your Majesty, that's right!"
The man in black did not dare to hide anything: "The prince, the second prince, and the third prince were courteous and tried their best to invite that person..."
"Courtesy? If I'm not mistaken, that person didn't agree, right?" The Dali Emperor threw out a handful of bait.
"That's right!"
The black man said respectfully, "That person refused it outright, but he followed the people of Grand Master Ning."
"You don't understand?"
The Dali Emperor turned around and looked at him.
The man in black bowed down: "I am stupid..."
"The Grand Master is too old-fashioned..."
The Emperor of Dali turned around and looked at the fish in the water fighting for bait, and said calmly: "It has been a thousand years, and the rituals and music are almost broken, but the Grand Master is still sticking to that set..."
The man in black did not dare to speak.
After a long while, the Emperor of Dali asked: "You said, in my Dali, who is more important, me or the Grand Master?"
"I...I don't...I don't know!" The man in black trembled violently, and was terrified.
"You said, if there was no Grand Master, could I have conquered this country today?"
"Your Majesty, spare...spare my life!!!"
The man in black almost fainted.
"Forget it..."
The Emperor of Dali seemed to be a little bored, and turned away after throwing the last bait.
Not long after he left, the entire imperial garden collapsed, and all living creatures were turned into dust...
...
On the carriage, Ye Chen looked at the donkey responsible for pulling the carriage, and found it more and more interesting: "You actually know what discrimination is..."
The so-called discrimination is a Buddhist psychology, which refers to the injustice of the heart, the inability to treat all living beings equally, and the difference between good and evil, good and bad, and close and distant...
The donkey shook a pair of big ears and said proudly: "Tongtong knows a lot, all of which were taught by my master..."
"Your name is Tongtong?" The cute little baby in Ye Chen's arms finally couldn't help but speak out.
The little girl has encountered animals that can talk, such as Xiaohei, but this is the first time she has seen an animal that can read.
"Yes, Tongtong is the name given to me by the master, what's your name?" The donkey replied.
The little guy struggled in Ye Chen's arms, as if he had met someone of the same age, and said excitedly: "My name is Ye Mengmeng, you can just call me Mengmeng."
"Mengmeng, can you read?" the donkey asked back.
The little guy shook his head repeatedly: "I don't like reading, I hate reading, and I'm still in kindergarten..."
"What is kindergarten?"
The donkey paused with its shaking ears, and was extremely surprised: "I have only heard of elementary school and Imperial College..."
After speaking, it said in a serious tone: "You must read more. My master said that reading can open your mind. I followed the master to study for decades, and studied in Imperial College for a few years. Later, I passed the exam and became the top scholar. The master still thought I was shallow..."
"Top scholar?"
Ye Chen's face froze slightly, and he said in surprise: "You are still a top scholar?"
"Yes, that was decades ago. At that time, the imperial examination was held all over the world..."
The donkey said with a little fear: "The master drove me out and asked me to take the imperial examination. He said that if I couldn't get the top scholar, he would kill me for wine..."
Ye Chen looked at the little guy in his arms, his face was a little unnatural.
The ancient imperial examination was much more difficult than the college entrance examination today, but a beast overwhelmed all humans and won the top scholar seat.
As for his daughter, Su Yuhan usually asked her to study, which was like asking her to die.
As if she noticed the bad look on Ye's face, Meng Meng stuck out her tongue and said unconvincedly: "Is the top scholar so powerful? Then let me test you, do you know what pi is?"
"Pi?"
The donkey paused and looked back at her: "What is pi?"
Even the blind old man couldn't help but prick up his ears.
Ye Chen was immediately at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Although the little girl was in kindergarten, because she ate his pills as candy, her memory had long surpassed that of ordinary people. I'm afraid that ordinary high school students don't know as much as she does.
"You don't even know pi?"
Sure enough, the little guy was full of pride: "Pi is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter, which is equal to the product of infinite fractions, approximately equal to 3.141592654..."
The donkey looked blank: "Circumference? Diameter? Fraction? Multiplication? Product?"
"Let me test you again!"
The little guy smiled slyly: "Do you know what the Goldbach conjecture is?"
"Goldbach conjecture?"
The donkey was blank again: "What is that?"
The little guy was so happy that he shook Ye Chen's arm: "Goldbach conjecture was proposed by a great mathematician. Any integer greater than two can be written as the sum of three prime numbers."
"Integer? Prime number?"
The donkey was confused again. It thought it was well-read, but it had never heard of these things.
The little guy stuck out his tongue and said: "One plus one equals what?"
"I know this. I have learned arithmetic. It equals two..." The donkey secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"How do you know it's equal to two? How do you prove it?" the little guy insisted.
"Of course the saint said it's equal to two."
"Who is the saint? A mathematician or a physicist? Has he ever proved that one plus one equals two? What about the formula for proof?"
"..."
The donkey looked up at the sky.
He was somewhat skeptical about life.
Ye Chen looked at it with sympathy. Before this, it was a top scholar, but it was completely led into the ditch by the naughty little guy.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but pinch the little guy's face: "Okay, don't embarrass him..."
Is it appropriate for a modern person to bully ancient people?
The blind old man took a look at the donkey, which seemed to be in a trance, and couldn't help urging it: "Hurry up!"
That's what he said, but his lips kept moving: "Fortunately, I didn't show off my knowledge before, otherwise I would be embarrassed..."
"After returning, I must ask the master what pi is, what is the circumference, what is the diameter, why one plus one equals two..."
Thinking of this, he regained his previous calmness: "The master is a sage who governs the world, and he has learned everything from ancient times to the present. He must know, right..."
...
The donkey, confused by the little guy's questions, walked very slowly and arrived at the destination in about half an hour.
It was a field, like an ancient mountain village, with smoke curling, chickens crowing and dogs barking...
The only difference was that the villagers were all dressed in Confucian robes, some farmers held scriptures in their hands, and some people carrying manure were talking about everything.
"This master, we're here."
The donkey finally stopped in front of a wooden door.
