Chapter 235: What a book
The ghost scholar came up to target Qin Baichuan again, and Zhu Tianyi was a little entangled: "Zheng Yin ghost, Qingfeng Academy is not the only Qin Baichuan, if there is any problem, just come out, Qingfeng Academy will follow." ”
"Qingfeng Academy is indeed not Mr. Qin alone, but he has a lot of knowledge, if he can't answer, Qingfeng Academy will definitely lose." The ghost scholar is not the kind of person who talks nonsense, and after finishing speaking, he said: "You don't need to be nervous, what I took out today is a classic, who can read the words on the book, even if he says the name of the book, it will be regarded as a complete defeat of Jiangshan Academy!" ”
"Books?" Zhu Tianyi's eyes lit up, what he taught in the academy was ancient characters and the like, which was his strength. In principle, academicians and associate academicians of the academy are not allowed to participate in the competition, but Zhu Tianyi thinks that his students can learn some of their own skills, and it is not a problem to be in the limelight in the competition.
"Lord Lu, look." The ghost scholar still ignored Zhu Tianyi, took out a palm-sized book with three fingers from the wide sleeve of his robe, and handed it to Lu Shigao with both hands.
"This ......" Lu Shigao's eyes were solemn, the whole book was covered with a layer of black skin, and on the front skin was a line with "x", "s" and other strange symbols that seemed to be words, Lu Shigao opened it in public, but saw that the symbols on it were dense, and people were dizzy to see.
"Master Zheng, where did you get this book?" After all, Lu Shigao has been wandering in Dongying for many years, and he knows that there is a heaven outside the world and a country abroad, so he can guess the origin of some books.
"Seven days ago, Zheng went to Anyang City early, and when he was playing, he rescued two drowning boat passengers on the beach, and this book was presented by them." With Zhan Yang's experience, the ghost scholar had no intention of lying at all: "What I said is true or false, I will find out if I invite two passengers in a while." ”
"Hmm......" Lu Shigao nodded seriously, stared at the black book again, and muttered: "According to the old man's guess, this book should come from other countries...... And I praise the farthest sea transport to Dongying, Zheng Fuzi took out this book, I'm afraid no one can understand the mystery. ”
As he spoke, Lu Shigao glanced at Qin Baichuan intentionally or unintentionally, but the latter seemed to have a look of surprise and joy on his face, and he didn't know what he was thinking. Lu Shigao shook his head and smiled, that's it, even if Qin Xiaoyou's ability is through the sky, what he can see and learn at his age must be limited, and it is a little difficult to put all his hopes on him.
Lu Shigao handed the books to the academicians of the academy in turn to pass them to each other, and Fang Zichang, Zhu Tianyi, and General Liu of the General's Mansion all looked surprised, obviously in their consciousness, they had never expected that there would be such books and such words.
"Mr. Qin, oh, the many masters of Qingfeng Academy, can you deny this book?" Zheng Luo waited for a while, and saw that everyone was talking in a low voice but no one got up, he was a little impatient and reminded loudly: "If no one can answer, then this round can be regarded as the victory of my Jiangshan Academy!" ”
"Presumptuous, Master Lu is the main examiner of the academy competition, where is your turn to be the master of Zheng Yin's ghost here?" In fact, the situation of Qingfeng Academy and Jiangshan Academy is also similar, if you can't hold your home field, then the competition in the future will be troublesome. Therefore, Zhu Tianyi had to open his mouth to delay some time: "I'm afraid you don't even know the words on this book, so why do you need to show it off?" ”
"There is no need to say more about whether to show off, this round is more than seeing and hearing, and Zheng is not at fault." Although the ghost scholar didn't say much, he was quite sharp in his counterattack: "I remember that what Associate Academician Zhu taught was words, and you opened your mouth above Dabi, but you know the name of this book?" Although Dabi does not allow vice academicians to participate, this time Zheng can make an exception, if you can answer Jiangshan Academy to admit defeat, Zheng kowtows and admits mistakes. ”
"Ghost Zheng Yin, you deceive people too much!" The ghost scholar's words were talking about Zhu Tianyi's sore spot, and a deputy academician who taught writing couldn't see the way, how could he be convincing in the future? Zhu Tianyi's face turned red, and he felt like he was lifting a stone to hit his feet.
"Zheng just asked the question according to the rules, and there was no transgression, who deceived people too much, Lord Lu knows for himself." The ghost scholar stopped at the point and did not quarrel with Zhu Tianyi.
"That's enough." Lu Shigao interrupted the conversation between the two and muttered: "There are so many studies in the world, I am afraid that even if I have the strength of a lifetime, I will never be able to study all of them thoroughly. The origin of this book must be extraordinary, and it is not unjust that Qingfeng Academy was defeated here. ”
The audience nodded one after another, the book of the ghost scholar of Jiangshan Academy is really tricky, and the first two competitions of Qingfeng Academy have been out of the limelight, even if this round is planted, it is still glorious despite defeat.
As for those people in Qingfeng Academy, their expressions were full of complexity, and they thought that today would end in a complete victory, but who would have thought that such a change would occur temporarily. Fang Zi let out a long sigh, and Xue Shihan was also a little dazed, full of bitterness: "People are not as good as heaven, and heaven is like this." ”
"Providence indeed." Qin Baichuan, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly spoke: "Master Xue, Qingfeng Academy owes me a favor. ”
"Oh?" Xue Shihan's expression changed, and he looked at Qin Baichuan suspiciously.
"Since no one in Qingfeng Academy can answer, the old man will announce that today's competition will be a great test-"
"This book, I know." Lu Shigao's voice dragged on, and when everyone in Qingfeng Academy was unwilling but helpless, they suddenly heard Qin Baichuan say six words in a loud voice. These six words are like the sound of immortals outside the sky, pulling the hearts of Qingfeng students from hell to heaven.
"Qin Baichuan, you, do you really know?" Without exception, his eyes focused on Qin Baichuan again, Zhu Tianyi's excited voice was trembling, and the feeling of resurrection from the dead spread to his whole body in an instant, but he didn't dare to believe it completely.
"I know." Zhu Tianyi was full of pride as a scholar, Qin Baichuan was indeed unhappy with this old man at the beginning, but as he gradually proved his worth in the big competition, Zhu Tianyi's attitude towards him had changed a little, and Qin Baichuan naturally didn't need to pinch an associate academician.
"Qin Xiaoyou, do you know this book?" Lu Shigao was also stunned, and even unconsciously changed his name for Qin Baichuan.
"Not only did I know him, but when I used to study with my teacher, I borrowed it from the library to study for a while." Qin Baichuan said honestly.
"Mr. Qin, you angrily accused the people of the General's Mansion of lying, I thought you were an honest person, but I didn't expect to lie but not make drafts." The ghost scholar sneered and said, "I also made it clear just now, I got this book from the ship's hand, I'm afraid that there is only one book in the entire Da Song and even the Great Silver and Dazhen Kingdom, which library did you borrow it from?" Even if you could borrow it, how would you understand it? ”
"Master Zheng, do you think I will deliberately lie and tell the truth when I was in Dabi? Qin swore to the sky, what he said was true, and if you can't think of the root cause, it can only mean that you are short-sighted. "Although this ghost book is ugly, he speaks very measuredly, Qin Baichuan at least doesn't hate him.
"Since Mr. Qin swears, let's talk about it, and Qin is willing to listen." The ghost scholar carried his hands behind his back, staring at Qin Baichuan with triangular eyes and refusing to relax at all.
"Since you want to hear it, then I'll talk about it." Qin Baichuan took the black book from Lu Shigao's hand, rubbed it for a while, shook his head and said: "Lord Lu just mentioned it, saying that this book may come from other countries, then I must first make it clear to you that this world is not only one country in Dasong, there is Dongying outside the coast of Anyang." The sea area where Dongying is located is called the Pacific Ocean, if there is a ship that can go all the way, it will enter the Atlantic Ocean, the Indian Ocean, and even the Arctic Ocean, at that time you will find that the world is divided into seven plates, called seven continents, which are Asia, Africa, North and Antarctic, Europe, and the smallest Oceania. ”
"Huh?"
As soon as Qin Baichuan opened his mouth this time, almost everyone, including Lu Shigao, sighed, even King Yi frowned, his eyes flashed, staring at Qin Baichuan. Others are confused, what "Asia, Africa, North and South Antarctica Europe, the smallest belongs to Oceania", Qin Baichuan said a big ode?
"These are the so-called seven continents, the four oceans, the sea is turbulent, and it is not suitable for human existence, but in other parts of the seven continents, there are countries that are as powerful as Dasong, or even more powerful than Dasong, where the skin of the people is not yellow, but pure black, pure white, and they have golden hair and blue eyes."
"This ......" Qin Baichuan became more and more outrageous the more he said, but his expression didn't look like a fake, and for a while, everyone was unable to distinguish it, and they all looked at Qin Baichuan stupidly, and they all had a feeling that their worldview had been subverted.
"Each country on the seven continents has its own culture, for example, France, which is a romantic country, where passionate French girls will take the initiative to boldly invite men to be their guests; In England, for example, craftsmen work day and night to make it easier for them to explore the world. Qin Baichuan tried to describe the countries he knew in words that they could understand.
"It's just a barbarian state." No matter what the ghost scholar says, he is just a reader of Da Song, and some of his knowledge is still superficial.
Qin Baichuan's description opened up a whole new world for everyone, and just when most people were immersed in fantasy, the "barbarian state" mentioned by the ghost scholar suddenly brought Da Song's self-contained and self-satisfied students back to the real world.
What French girl is as passionate as fire, but in fact, isn't she a prostitute who sells meat in the Qinglou? What delve into all kinds of tools, isn't it just some strange and obscene skills that can't be put on the table? Compared with the vast culture of Dasong, it is too much, too much!
"People only know their ignorance and shallowness when their dreams are shattered." In Qin Baichuan's eyes, these masters and students of Dasong institutions of higher learning are all sad, as if the guns of foreign powers opened the door of the Qing Dynasty, and China woke up from a dream.
