Chapter 36

"The number of all things starts from one. The road of the bureau, there is one in three hundred and sixty. One, the lord of the number of births, according to its extreme, also moves in all directions. Three hundred and sixty, as the number of the heavens of the week. It is divided into four, and it is like four hours. Ninety ways in each corner, as if it were the sun. Seventy-two roads around the periphery, as if it were waiting. Three hundred and sixty dry chess, white and black half, yin and yang. The line of the bureau is called the table. Between the lines and roads, it is called a hexagram. The game is square and quiet, and the chess is round and moving. From ancient times to the present, there is no one who plays the same game. "Biography" says: "Every day is new". Therefore, it is advisable to be thoughtful and thoughtful, so as to seek the reason for its victory or defeat, and then to its unattainable. ”

The old master's recitation of the article is different from that of children, shaking his head, sighing and folding, the words are sonorous, and the aftermath is lingering, not so much reciting as enjoyment.

"Which of you two will come first?" At the end of the recitation, Yuan Lang asked--This article does not belong to the common textbook for children's learning, or Yuan Lang's personal preference, not to mention Tan Xiaotian or Xie Xinyuan, even if it is a few years older than them, it may not have been learned. Therefore, unlike when I memorized the "Three Character Classic" just now, I can't let other children make judgments, and I can only listen to them one by one.

"I'll come first!" Glancing at Tan Xiaotian, Xie Xinyuan thought in his heart - taking advantage of the short time, his memory is still relatively clear, and he can memorize more if he memorizes it first.

"Oh, I'm not ashamed." Tian Qingyou scratched his nose and shouted-Xie Xinyuan's little heart, could he not guess it? kept saying that the other party was small and looked down on others, but the result was really better than the test but there was no certainty of winning, and it was clear that he wanted to take advantage of others.

Xie Xinyuan's face was slightly red, he didn't know that this approach was a bit embarrassing, but if it was more embarrassing than an endorsement, it would be even more embarrassing. He is the son of a businessman, and he may not understand anything else, but this truth has long been edified, "It was the teacher who asked who came first, and he didn't speak, of course I had to say it." He retorted.

"Cut." Tian Qingyou snorted coldly, his face full of disdain, but he didn't speak anymore.

"Okay, thank you Xinyuan, you can carry it first." Yuan Lang commanded - he was actually not very satisfied with Xie Xinyuan rushing to carry him first, and felt that this kind of disregard for other things in order to win was really against the demeanor of a scholar, but Xie Xinyuan was only ten years old after all, and he couldn't be too demanding.

glanced at Tan Xiaotian again, the latter was blinking at himself with big black and white eyes, obviously with the other party's age, he couldn't understand the meaning of who came first and who came later, so he felt that it didn't matter.

The number of all things, starting from one, the road of the bureau, there is one in three hundred and sixty. One, the lord of the number of births, according to its extreme, the four directions are also three hundred and sixty, with images and elephants", Xie Xinyuan began to memorize, at the beginning he memorized very fluently, but as time continued, his mouth began to gradually mix garlic, and later, he stopped at the word "elephant" and could no longer continue, after repeating it four or five times, the sound was getting smaller and smaller.

"Okay, it's nice to remember so much." Stopping Xie Xinyuan's meaningless efforts, Yuan Lang praised - it is a smart child to be able to memorize so many words when he hears it for the first time and does not understand the meaning of the memorized content at all, and Tian Qingyou is afraid that he will stutter at the beginning of the second sentence.

After receiving the teacher's praise, Xie Xinyuan breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head to look at Tan Xiaotian, and raised his chin as if demonstrating.

"Every day, it's your turn to carry it." Just when he didn't see Xie Xinyuan's childish performance, Yuan Lang instructed Tan Xiaotian.

"Hmm.' The number of all things, from one only, the road of the bureau, one in three hundred and sixty. One, the lord of the number of births, according to its extreme, also moves in all directions. Three hundred and sixty, like the number of Zhou Tian", Tan Xiaotian began to recite.

The first few sentences are not quite a matter - except for someone as stupid as Keiyu Xiangtian, any other student can do it, right? However, as Tan Xiaotian continued, the children began to be surprised, originally they thought that no matter how good Tan Xiaotian's memory was, it would be to the extent of Xie Xinyuan, and at most they would not be able to continue when they reached 'Yixiang', but the reality was that when they memorized it, Tan Xiaotian had no signs of memory confusion at all, but continued to memorize it, and the speed and rhythm were exactly the same as before.

Xie Xinyuan's face gradually became difficult to look at - when Tan Xiaotian carried it here, he had already lost, even if it was only one more word, what should I do? Do you really want to learn how to bark in front of so many people?

"The Biography says: 'New every day'. Therefore, it is advisable to be thoughtful and thoughtful, so as to seek the reason for its victory or defeat, and then to its unattainable. ”

To everyone's surprise, including Yuan Lang, Tan Xiaotian actually memorized the entire article.

"Tiantian, your aunt taught you this article before?" Yuan Lang asked in disbelief - he was born in a scholarly family, and began to read and study under the guidance of his father when he was very young, in terms of age, it is not much different from the current Tan Xiaotian, because of his talent, he was called a 'prodigy' when he was young, but even if he was at that age, he would probably have to read an article of this length two or three times, and Tan Xiaotian actually memorized it all after listening to it once, if such a performance is true, he really doesn't know how to describe it.

"No, my aunt taught me to memorize the "Three Character Classic", "Hundred Family Names" and "Thousand Character Text". Tan Xiaotian replied.

"No" was stunned for a moment, and then Yuan Lang shook his head with a self-deprecating wry smile - that article is one of the "Thirteen Chapters of the Book of Chess", if it is not for the study of chess skills, no one will generally learn it, Qiu Ju is a female stream, even if she has learned Go, it is just a pastime to pass the time, it is impossible to spend too much effort to ponder and study, how can it be possible to memorize the "Thirteen Chapters of the Book of Chess"? I probably felt dwarfed by Tan Xiaotian's memory when he saw that his memory was so incredible, so he had to find other reasons to comfort himself, right? Alas, a Confucian scholar who has read poetry and books himself would have such an idea, which is really not right.

"Tiantian, you are too powerful!" Tian Qingyou exclaimed excitedly - it doesn't matter if he doesn't have the ability to do it, the important thing is that Tan Xiaotian has done it, and when he goes back, tell Aunt Qiu Ju about it, I don't know how happy she will be.

"Teacher, this is a win every day, right?" Chen Lihong shouted - although everyone can clearly see who loses and who wins, the final result still has to be announced by Yuan Lang, who is the referee.

"Hehe, is it necessary to say this? Xie Xinyuan, what do you say? Yuan Lang smiled.

"Uh, 'Wangwang', okay?" In the face of the facts, Xie Xinyuan couldn't deny it, he turned his heart sideways and learned to bark three times, which can be regarded as admitting defeat.
