Chapter 80: Tongue Battle Viewing the Rooftop

With the warm fragrant nephrite in my arms, I am not in a hurry, I wish the pagoda was as high as possible, so I made a look, Dian Wei Shi'a and others deliberately slowed down and hung far behind; No worries, I took Cai Yan's little hand, and I was ashamed of the beautiful girl's jade face, but I was willing.

Accompanied by beautiful women, time always flies quickly, and before you know it, you have climbed to the thirteenth floor.

The top floor of this stupa is different from the other floors, it is transparent on all sides, like a viewing pavilion on the top of a mountain, and the entire floor of the building is supported by only four thick columns, which is a good place to climb and look far.

There is also a rather domineering name on the top floor of this floor - the observation deck.

At this moment, the viewing platform has been covered with a roof, and celebrities and celebrities gathered.

The diameter is only three or four zhang of a small floor, arranged compact and not restricted, carved cases are set up by leaning on the railing, placed in a hollow shape; On the north side are three independent desks, three elders kneeling behind them, their looks and bearings are extraordinary, and the status of several people can be imagined; The other three cases are not so particular, and a total of five or six cases have squeezed out nearly 20 people, and they are all juniors and heroes.

As soon as I entered the entrance of the building, Cai Yan hurriedly separated from me, for fear of being seen, I knew that she was thin-skinned, so I quietly let go of my hand, and let her run to the east of the building like a fly, hiding behind an elegant old man who was nearly half a hundred years old with a red face.

I also tidied up my clothes, walked slowly to the old man, bowed down and clasped my fists and saluted: "Meet Mr. Cai in Shen Lang in Xia Donglai!" ”

This person is the world-famous university scholar Cai Yong, that is, Cai Yan's old bean. He stood up, walked out from behind the short one, raised his hand and said, "Haichuan doesn't need to be polite, I don't know how to repay you for your life-saving kindness to my father and daughter!" ”

Sooner or later, everyone is a family, is it so out-of-the-box? I smiled in my heart, but I said modestly: "It is my duty to draw a sword to help when the road is uneven; This is a trivial matter, why should Mr. Cai be worried! ”

"Are you Shen Haichuan, the chief of Donglai?" A thin old man kneeling on Cai Yong's left suddenly asked.

"I don't know..."I nodded, and was about to ask a question, but I heard Cai Yong pointing at the thin old man and interjecting: "This is Mr. Lu Zhi, a master of scripture and learning..."

I was secretly surprised, this great power is a generalist, who has served as the Taishou of Jiujiang and Lujiang, and then returned to the court to serve as a waiter, a scholar and so on. What impressed later generations the most was that he was the teacher of Liu Bei, the founding emperor of the Shu Han Dynasty, and Gongsun Zhan, the general of the White Horse. This person is not only highly accomplished in scripture, but also has extraordinary political and military talents, he once led the five schools of the Northern Army to fight against Zhang Jiao as the general of the North Zhonglang, and even won the battle, and finally besieged Zhang Jiao in Guangzong and could not move; In the 2nd year of Chuping (191 AD), after Yuan Shao obtained Jizhou, he immediately worshipped him as a military advisor... All of the above shows that he has extraordinary abilities.

"Mr. Lu is a great Confucian in the sea, admired by the world, Shen Lang has wanted to see him for a long time, but he can't find it, and it is a great fortune to meet Mr. today!" I said it nicely, but in my heart I coveted: If this prince is used by me, how good it would be...

However, this can only be a fool's dream after all! People are great Confucians in the world, and they are in a high position, how can you covet them with a small long history?

Lu Zhi smiled faintly and said, "It's just a false name." I've heard some rumors about you in Qingzhou, and your Tiger Army is worthy of the name of the Tiger! ”

I thanked him with a smile, and then approached Cai Yong and whispered: "Mr. Cai, can you move downstairs, I have something important to do!" ”

"No hurry, no hurry." Before Cai Yong could answer, he was interrupted by another loud voice, which continued: "Except for the three old guys of us, all of you here are the best of your young generation, since you are here, why don't you get closer to everyone!" ”

The person who spoke was a middle-aged man in Chinese clothes in his forties, who knelt casually on Cai Yong's right side, twisted his long beard under his chin, and looked at me with a smile.

Obviously, this is to put me as an arrow target in the crowd, and then prepare a small bench to watch the big play.

When he was secretly greeting all the female friends in his family, Cai Yong acted as the cheesemaster of ceremonies very responsibly: "Haichuan, this is Hongnong Yang Wenxian, and he is also a scholar of the dynasty. ”

It turns out that this guy is Yang Biao, and now he is serving as a servant in the court, he should be Yang Xiu's father, I don't know how old is that Yang classmate who seems to be too smart? I looked at him carefully, and replied lightly: "It turned out to be Lord Shizhong, long admiration, long admiration." ”

Such a casual attitude towards celebrities in the world immediately caused dissatisfaction. The young talents who didn't treat me well were like stepping on a cat's tail, and they were suddenly excited, and one of them left their seats angrily: "Mr. Yang is highly virtuous and respectful, admired by the world's scholars, and you treat Mr. so vulgar and rude, I disdain to be with you!" ”

"I heard that this Brother Shen came from a wild land, how do you know my etiquette in China?" Someone else responded, and after speaking, there was a burst of laughter all around.

"But the vulgar Wufuer, if you think about it, you will lose my value."

……

I remained silent, slowly walked towards the two men who were the most fierce, and waved my hand to stop the two who wanted to follow them.

The two were ready for a verbal battle, and their eyes were full of provocation.

"Who are you? You can report your name. My gaze swept over their faces.

"Shanyang Wang Cang."

"Chen Liuweihong."

"Hehe, you don't want to be with me, then this side please!" I stared at Wang Cang and waved my hand at the staircase.

When Wang Cang saw this, he suddenly became angry; I didn't give him a chance, and said with a pun: "Brother Wang, have you heard?" Only those who respect others have the right to be respected! ”

Wang Cang was silent, gave a salute, and quietly sat back.

When Yang Biao heard me say this, he knew that I was going to fight against him again, so he squinted at me, I chuckled, and suddenly said, "Lord Shizhong, what do you say?" ”

Yang Biao didn't answer, he glanced at Cai Yong and Lu Zhi, and they all looked at each other and smiled.

That Wei Hong and Wei Zhongdao are both surnamed Wei, and they were a family five hundred years ago, so of course they have to help one or two; Now seeing Wang Cang's defeat and retreat, he and Wang Cang are known as Yanzhou Shuangyu, and their reputation and talent are half a catty and eight taels, and it is difficult to distinguish between them; Although the relationship between the two is good on the surface, they have been competing in private. So now Wei Hong's fighting spirit is high, he wants to seize this opportunity, as long as he can frustrate my arrogance a little at this moment, then he will stabilize Wang Cang's head in the future.

Looking at Wei Hong, who was like an aggressive rooster, my heart was on fire, so I said very unceremoniously: "This Brother Wei, you also take your background too seriously." As everyone knows, Wei Zhongqing, the ancestor of your Wei family, opened up the territory for my Han Dynasty and made immortal achievements, but what about his background? But a ride on the noor! Are you unwilling to be in the company and want to throw the tablet of the general out of your Wei family ancestral hall? ”

As soon as these words came out, Wei Hong immediately became dumbfounded, yes, even if his ancestor Wei Qing is a hero, it is also a fact that he is from a humble background.

My eyes were like torches, and I scanned the audience and saw that there were still people eager to try, and there was still no end to it! Lao Tzu was very unhappy, his eyes rolled a few times, and suddenly his brain was opened, and he decided to throw out another super bomb, and he would never stop until he scorched these frogs at the bottom of the well.

Of course, it was not my intention to speak quickly for a while, and the happiness and enmity were just appearances. Now, after all, I am also a prince with a strong army, and the ambition to dominate the world has gradually grown. It is just through the platform of the Luoyang Poetry Association that my Shen Lang's name will spread all over Kyushu, so that I can attract more talents for my use in the future.

If you want to be a blockbuster, it is only possible if the sword goes off the rails, and the words are not shocking and endless!

With my mind in mind, I quickly organized my rhetoric and began a big flicker, spitting around, unfolding a set of theories of human evolution that were very different from Darwin's.

With a cold voice, I asked disdainfully: "Everyone, Shen has a question that has not been solved, I wonder if anyone can solve the puzzle?" ”

The young warriors were excited, and it was clear that Nawufu's posture was about to start a war with all of them.

"If you have any questions, just say it, and I'll wait for that." Someone shouted.

"yes, say it, say it."

……

I saw that the atmosphere was almost over, and I smiled and asked a thought-provoking question: "Where do we humans come from?" ”

As soon as the words fell, the audience was silent. This question is too big for even a well-educated Confucian to dare to answer easily.

Seeing that this group of scholars were flushed one by one, but they couldn't let out a fart, I couldn't help but feel good, and secretly winked at Cai Yan.

Seeing this small action in Wei Zhongdao's eyes, he couldn't help but be jealous, and stood up and said angrily: "Don't be proud, what do you think?" ”

"Humph! If you are lonely and unheard, you will not be noisy here. I smiled coldly at him, looked around, paused, and said: "Lao Tzu said: Tao gives birth to one, life to two, two to three, and three to all things." Our tangible world is born out of nothingness, and we human beings do not jump out of thin air from cracks in stones..."

As soon as the topic was thrown, the atmosphere in the audience became extremely strange.

Lu Zhi and Cai Yong were noncommittal, nodded slightly, and motioned for me to continue.

I laughed and continued: "Actually, all of us have ancestors from apes from nature..."

As soon as the argument of destroying the three views came out, it was like an earth-shattering shock! Everyone was stunned, and most of them were afraid to think, "This person must be crazy!" ”

A moment later, the sound of reprimands and insults came at me overwhelmingly.

What's more, he ignored Sven, hurriedly rolled up his sleeves, and prepared to jump out to fight with me.

Since Lao Tzu's words have been spoken, of course he will not admit it. I laughed and said, "Just because you wait for this little arm and leg, you dare to come and die, hum!" ”

As soon as the killing intent was released, the temperature in the whole building seemed to drop by 10 degrees at once, and the timid people even turned pale in an instant; A few people who were going to fight were so frightened by my murderous aura that they sat down on the futon in fright.

"Enough! Let the people finish talking first. A loud roar and a violent slapping sound suddenly calmed the scene, and it turned out that Lu Zhi was powerful.

I smiled slightly, nodded in thanks, and continued: "Tens of millions of years ago, when human beings were not born in heaven and earth, the earth was full of forests, lakes and rivers, and countless birds, beasts, insects and fish lived, and the ancient ape was one of them, and the world at that time was dominated by a group of prehistoric giant beasts 'dinosaurs'. At that time, the apes were very weak and had countless natural predators, and they lived in groups and spent the year after year carefully... I don't know how many years have passed, and finally one day, an apocalyptic disaster broke out in this world! The forests on which all living things depend have been destroyed, and vast swaths of land have collapsed into the ocean! The mass extinction began, and the first to suffer was the land overlord dinosaurs, and then the animals that were larger than cats also became extinct. In addition to some amphibians such as crocodiles, some of the larger species that survived were forced to go to the sea to survive, and Australopithecus was one of the lucky ones. ”

"Haichuan, more than 10 years ago, when the Hanoi medicine pickers excavated the keel, they dug out a huge giant skeleton, I was fortunate to have a look, the skeleton is about 30 zhang long, 5,6 zhang high, the neck and tail are also very long, I am afraid that there are 7,8 zhang, could it be that it is a prehistoric dinosaur?" Cai Yong became interested and leaned over to ask me.

I nodded and replied, "If I'm right, it's probably a type of plant-eating dinosaur - the long-necked dragon." ”

Cai Yong was about to continue to ask, when suddenly Yang Biao beside him pulled him and said, "Old Cai, don't interrupt..."

"After countless years of survival of the fittest, this group of ancient apes has finally adapted to the ocean after countless hardships and countless casualties! Then millions of years passed, and after several vicissitudes, the sea in which they lived became land again, so the surviving apes stood on the earth again, and at this moment, they split into two groups, one of which went away for the legendary forest, and finally succeeded, they climbed the trees again, and returned to their old business as happy monkeys (i.e., apes). ”

"And what about the rest?" Someone couldn't help but ask.

"The rest of the unlucky ones are still here. This land has only just been formed, and there are not many woods, but mostly meadows and bushes, and they have to live on the ground; Walking on the ground day after day exercised their lower limbs, searched for food in the grass and bushes, and exercised their hands; And in order to pluck the delicious fruit of the tree, they must stand upright so that their hands are stretched high enough; If the tree is too tall, they also have to use tools, such as cutting off a branch, etc., and they learn to use tools..."

I paused, took a sip of the jug handed by Dian Wei, and continued: "On a day of lightning and thunder, a fire suddenly broke out, burning down the few woods in their territory, and the already scarce food was even more scarce. A hungry guy picked up a charred animal carcass and tried to satisfy it, but it turned out to be delicious, so all the apes fell in love with the barbecue, so they tried to make a natural fire, and later found a way to drill wood for fire... With meat and fire, their bodies, brains, and civilizations have developed rapidly, and gradually, after countless years of baptism, they finally evolved from apes to humans! ”

Where did we humans come from? This is an eternal proposition, even in the Eastern Han Dynasty, it can still arouse the interest of countless people.

Everyone in the audience had different expressions, some were stunned, some frowned and pondered, some were disdainful, and some were not good-looking, still looking for opportunities to make trouble, and so on... I sneered secretly, no matter what trick I make, Lao Tzu will take it together!

Sure enough, not long after, someone directly shouted at me: "Where did you come from!" Will the monkeys be our ancestors? Why don't you live in a tree? ”

"If you go up a tree, you can still survive; What about you? But he is not qualified to go up the tree at all. I met the man, held up two fingers, and shook my hand with disdain.

"Why?" The man asked angrily.

"Do you think pigs can climb trees?"

As soon as the words came out, everyone couldn't stop laughing.

When the laughter subsided, someone spoke again: "In Gu Yong, Xia Wu County, there is something unclear. Is there any evidence for your statement that man evolved from apes? ”

This Gu Yongmo is not the important minister of Eastern Wu in history?

Judging by his sincere words, he did not mean to make things difficult. I couldn't help but look at him a few more times, and saw that although he was young, he was also handsome and extraordinary, so I nodded secretly, maybe he was the one who left a name in history.

I shook my head and said, "Finding evidence is a protracted system project, and it is not a day's work. However, we can make some simple comparisons: first, in terms of appearance, in terms of body structure, only apes are closest to us humans, for example: adult apes have 32 teeth, the same as us; Furthermore, apes, like us, do not have tails, and after a long period of evolution, the only remaining tail vertebrae remind us that we once had a tail. Secondly, all land mammals are possessed by hair, such as lions, tigers, leopards, wolves, dogs, pigs, bears, etc., only humans and apes are different, and the mammals in the ocean are similar to us in this regard. Also, we can shed tears, apes also have tear glands, other mammals on land do not have this characteristic, and this is precisely one of the characteristics of aquatic animals, have you ever heard of crocodile tears? Besides, babies are born with water, isn't this an innate ability? All these speculations point in one direction, and man evolved from apes with great difficulty! ”

After listening to this, Gu Yong pondered for a long time, only to feel that a door suddenly opened in his heart, so he hugged his fists and thanked him: "Gu Yong has been taught!" ”

"May I ask Brother Shen, since the ancient apes can return to the earth from the sea, are there any ape remnants who are used to surviving in the sea and do not want to go ashore?" The person who asked the question was Wang Cang, a native of Shanyang, who was full of curiosity and had completely lost the original intention of making trouble.

"That's a good question! I don't know Brother Wang, have you ever heard of a mermaid? I speculate that they are probably the apes left in the sea, right? I smiled and gave an answer.

Wang Cang nodded, thoughtfully, and muttered, "Could it be that the monster with the body of a human-headed fish is a mermaid?" ”

The origin of human beings is a hot topic in any era, and the scholars of this era are not exempt from vulgarity.
