Chapter 27 Natural Science I Ching
Holding his brother's hand tightly, Xiao Songling stood behind Ming Jie, the shadow floated into the forest, and returned to the valley shrouded in mist, the hollow swamp, filled with white divine light, only the white floating shadow could be seen, the loving old man, the mysterious spell, Ming Jie rubbed his blue eyes hard, still vague, this old man's spell was too mysterious and magical, even more clever than Ming Jie's stealth state, the demon child screamed under the old man's hand, in the white aura, like flies scurrying around in the glass, the white tender baby was covered in blood, and the mournful howl echoed in the valley, and the faint sound echoed the worldγ
Such a mysterious spell made Mingjie's whole person stunned, the vast white smoke, the white aurora circle shrouded, and the distance of the little demon child seemed to be separated by several worlds, distant and ethereal. Xiao Songling took Mingjie's hand, let go slightly, and turned around to see that it fell on the coiled pine branch, like a flame flowing gracefully.
When the old Taoist waited for the little demon child's magic power to be exhausted, he waved the black gossip robe, pinched the spell in his hand and rotated the white aperture, and the powerful energy soared to the sky, shaking the strange cloud curtain in the sky and shouting: "Little devil, when will you wait until you die." β
Suddenly, the little demon boy raised his head, and the light of the demon eye rushed into the sky, and the dazzling three-color polar light shot above his head, and shouted at the white light and shadow of the old Taoist: "I was born in the sky, I should be the sky, you are not a true immortal ancestor, dare to offend me, wait for my nine stars to gather at the top, and break through this circle of light." β
After the aurora rose into the air, he reunited in the clouds, sealed the starry sky opened by the aurora above the demon child's head, and launched a palm imprint on the demon child's body, hitting the demon child, the little demon child was like a puffed ball, bouncing and leaping on the ground, suspended in the air, chanting a spell to summon ghosts. The ghosts howled in horror, and as the demon child shook the copper bell in his hand, they flew to the demon child like a swimming fish, and flew behind the demon child, and the fog was scattered between the mountains and forests with several gusts of wind, and the ghosts were lost.
In just a few minutes, the mountains and forests and valleys returned to silence, the demon child was gone, the old Taoist disappeared, there were thirty or forty people lying in the woodland, and the witches sat in the middle of the Miao girls, these girls with silver shining bodies, even if they were unconscious, they still held hands to maintain the formation, maybe it was their unity that could survive death, only a few people could never wake up again.
Exiting from the woods, Mingjie was in a heavy mood, and there was a faint pain in his body, so he had to go home to recuperate, and ran into the dawn and morning light hand in hand. Since then, Mingjie not only found that he has a strange ability in his body, but also Songling, although I don't know why, but also need to learn, in the dead of night, Mingjie not only flew out by himself, but also took Songling, taught Songling to practice the ability to fly, flying is as important as people learning to walk, and gradually Songling can also fly side by side with Mingjie.
The morning sun was shining, the mountain village was still calm as before, and several villagers who were busy plowing the fields all set their eyes on the children who were going to school one after another, and the children were as happy as a flock of happy birds.
Xiao Ling, who followed behind Mingjie, was dragged behind by Mingjie for a while, like a little lamb who was adorable. A few children caught up with them, surrounded the cute little spirit, laughed, their hair was blown up by the wind, and the delicate shape made them even more cute and dexterous.
The laughing children were kicked a few times by Mingjie who ran over, and they scattered like birds, and ran to the primary school on the other side of the river. Mingjie pulled Xiaoling and shook it and walked slowly, but she didn't forget to say hello to the old uncles and aunts in the field, making them laugh, Mingjie was like a little pistachio for the villagers' neighbors.
Such a pair of living treasure-like sons, one of them is still a child picked up, such as biological brothers, the people in the village are all envious of the good fortune of Mingjie's family, every time they talk about Songling, everyone says that good people have good rewards, and Mingjie's parents must be the most blessed people in the future.
Standing on the river, Mingjie looked at the river, the fish jumping in the river pond were shining with silver light against the morning sun, the reeds were swaying in the wind, the king-colored birds were flying away against the water, Mingjie blinked his eyelashes, his black and translucent water-colored eyes flashed with ice crystals, and he hugged Xiao Songling's shoulders and sighed softly.
Xiao Songling pursed her lips and asked with a cute smile, "Brother, what's wrong?"
Mingjie waved his hand, picked up the stone, and threw it far into the river. Mingjie was full of energy, patted Song Ling and said, "It's been annoying lately, let's go to grandma's house in a few days." β
Xiao Songling scratched his face, clapped his hands and smiled, "Okay, I miss my grandmother too." β
Mingjie grabbed Song Ling's face, raised her voice and asked, "You want the fresh fish cooked by your grandmother, right?" I haven't eaten fish for a long time, I want to eat it too, think about the delicious taste, why are you hungry." β
Xiao Songling blinked, pulled Mingjie's arm and said, "Brother, it's time for class." β
Nodding, Mingjie pulled Song Ling, ran through a few rice fields that had just been tasseled, climbed to the school gate, and ran towards the neighboring village Xiao Yanyun, with crooked hair and a dirty face, and was stopped at the door by Mingjie.
The little girl looked at Mingjie, then at Xiao Songling, rubbed her eyes, and was about to cry with teary eyes.
Xiao Songling pointed at Yanyun and said softly: "Little sister, if your face is cleaned, my brother won't stop you, and your hair is crooked." β
The little girl wiped away her tears, turned around and ran to the paddy field ditch, and after the poor Baba freshened up, she timidly bypassed Mingjie and ran into the courtyard classroom.
After the preparation of the summer vacation, Mr. Li Junlin held the thick new books, saw Mingjie and Songling standing in the courtyard, kicked Mingjie lightly and said, "Don't you see that the teacher is very busy? β
Hehe smiled, Mingjie bared his teeth, took off the cloth bag on his shoulder and hung it on Song Ling's shoulder, ran to another house, the room was full of books, a few thick bundles of new books on the table, Mingjie hugged one of the stacks, saw a very strange book on the table, looked left and right, pulled out his hand to look at the two big characters on the cover "Book of Changes", I don't know what kind of book this is, but the pattern on the cover gossip Mingjie has seen, the mysterious old Taoist who defeated the little demon child, painted with such a pattern, Mingjie remembers it most clearly.
"Broken child, what are you doing in a daze, it's class, waiting for your book?"
Teacher Li Junlin walked in, patted Mingjie, hugged the remaining books, and hurriedly went out to the classroom. Mingjie stuck out her tongue and followed Teacher Li back to the classroom, after the students had new books, they were so excited and happy, burying their faces in the new books, smelling the fragrance of paper words.
Walking past Shaoyun, Mingjie patted his hair, smiled and said, "A bunch of silly hats, is the new book worth your excitement about?"
Covering his head, Xiao Shaoyun couldn't hide the brilliance in his eyes, and pouted and said, "You care about me!"
Mingjie took a deep breath and said, "I don't care about you, your books are locked in the copper cabinet, why don't you take them out and study, maybe there is some big secret?"
Xiao Shaoyun glared at Mingjie, turned around and stopped talking to Mingjie. Carefully opened the new book and listened attentively to Mr. Li Junlin's lecture. No one took care of Mingjie and felt bored, Xiao Mingjie lay on the table and listened to the teacher's lecture.
After more than half a year, the children liked the content of Mr. Li Junlin's lecture very much, and were deeply attracted by this omniscient teacher.
All the children, the most favorite of Mr. Li Junlin, the super memory, no one can compare, especially the talent in mathematics, let Mr. Li Junlin be surprised, the ability of abstract thinking, even junior high school students may not have the level of this kid, too surprising.
The morning class made Mr. Li Junlin a little tired, but seeing these thriving students, Mr. Li Junlin's heart was very happy, although he was in a difficult and remote, almost isolated mountain village, but he obtained infinite happiness.
At noon, the sun was shining, and the sound of gongs and drums came outside, Mr. Li Junlin couldn't help but smile, the poor mountain village, because of the strange natural phenomena that have appeared recently, still built the temple in the south of the village, and had to admire the villagers, even if it is difficult to eat and dress, but also to build a school for children to go to school and a temple of faith.
Lying by the window and watching for a while, Mingjie turned his head and asked Chong Shaoyun: "Your grandmother presided over the construction of the temple, can you receive a lot of fruits, oranges and bananas?"
After Shaoyun carefully accepted the textbook, he replied to Mingjie: "Yes, but after receiving it, it needs to be distributed to everyone who participates in the temple fair, and in the end it is estimated that there is not much left, grandma said that one person can only get one or two." β
Mingjie was speechless, biting his fingers and said, "It's a pity, why don't you provide for a few more days? I can go in over the wall at night and eat to my heart's content." β
Shao Yun glared at Ming Jie and said, "Xiao Jie, you are so bold, aren't you afraid of colliding with the gods?"
Mingjie frowned and said: "Don't be afraid, if the gods can really manifest, the neighboring village will not be haunted, I heard that there are people in the neighboring village who have witnessed the ghost passing by, many, many ghost shadows, very spectacular." β
A little girl stood up next to her, pinched her waist and shouted at Mingjie: "Death Mingjie, don't talk about those gods and ghosts in broad daylight, the teacher didn't tell us that there are no ghosts in this world, those are just supernatural phenomena that science has not yet explored." β
A group of children echoed, Mingjie turned around and pointed at Shaoyun and said, "Yes, is there any ghost in the world, just ask Shaoyun." β
At the mention of Shaoyun, all the children stopped talking.
The children's chattering made Mr. Li Junlin embarrassed, he once thought that there were no ghosts and gods in this world, but since he came to the village, he has encountered several supernatural phenomena, which makes people have to suspect that there are many phenomena in the world that cannot be explained by science.
Mingjie laughed and said to the children, "A bunch of stupid hats. If the supernatural phenomenon can't be explained by science, isn't it science? Since it can't be explained, we won't explain it, learn from Shaoyun's grandmother, burn incense and worship God, and use her old man's method to explain it to keep us safe. β
Teacher Li Junlin outside the window listened to it and couldn't help laughing loudly, and the children followed the admiration of Teacher Li, hoping to get the answer. Teacher Li returned to the classroom, patted Mingjie and said: "Children, discuss the question of whether there are ghosts or ghosts in the world, you are still too young, you might as well study hard, and when you grow up and have mastered enough knowledge, the teacher believes that you can use the scientific knowledge you have learned to find the answer to whether there are ghosts in the world! At that time, you will be able to become a great scientist, like Newton, Galileo and other famous people." β
As Mr. Li said, like the great scientists Copernicus, Galileo, Newton and others who learned in textbooks, he proposed that the heliocentric theory breaks the geocentric theory, and scientifically explains these truths, you can become a great scientist and inspire students to study hard.
The teacher was so powerful, although he couldn't explain whether ghosts existed, he left the questions to the students and motivated them to learn, such a knowledgeable and wise teacher was as powerful as the mysterious old Taoist he had seen that night.
I couldn't help but ask Mr. Li Junlin: "Teacher, what kind of book is the Book of Changes?"
Teacher Li Junlin looked down, the question raised by this child was the most difficult, and the "Book of Changes" on the table was actually seen by this kid.
"Child, I don't understand it now, let's put it simply. "I Ching" is actually a "big natural science", learning it well, we can better grasp the natural structure of mountains and rivers, observe the astrological climate, help us understand the solar terms of the year, when it is windy and rainy, when to sow seeds and so on. β
Mingjie listened, and suddenly realized and said: "So that's the case, why don't you let the people in our village learn, what's the use of building a broken temple, burning incense and asking the dragon god for rain, can it be useful?"
Teacher Li Junlin smiled, patted the back of Mingjie's head and said: "There should still be some use, like the geographical location of your village is excellent, deep in the mountains, the terrain is high, the special geographical environment, the annual rainfall is abundant, in the north mountain, the springs are very many converge into rivers, one flows to the east, one flows into the ground, the best one flows to your village, maybe there is a dragon as the old people legend." β
"Teacher, didn't you say dragons don't exist?"
"Did I say that?" said Mr. Li Junlin, looking at his students.
The little boy gritted his teeth and said, "Teacher, you said that ghosts do not exist, they belong to superstitious legends, and dragons are also legendary animals, so they naturally do not exist." β
Teacher Li Junlin thought for a while and smiled and said: "Zhao Jianmin, it's good to be good at using your brain, the teacher is just guessing, in fact, dragons were also creatures that once existed, but now they are extinct, and in the future teacher's biology class, you will learn about dinosaurs, which are extinct creatures." β
Xiaomei Tui Jianmin said: "The teacher understands everything, study hard, we have to be like a teacher who can move everything, and we can't be too ignorant." β
Xiao Mingjie rubbed her face and echoed Xiaomei and said, "Yes, yes, if you don't study, you can only ask some ignorant questions, a bunch of fools." Let's go, go home for dinner. β
The little boys shouted at Mingjie, "You're stupid." β
Mingjie clenched his fists, the boys scattered in a hurry, chased to the door, Mingjie stopped and said to Teacher Li: "Teacher, my mother asked me to tell you that I went to my house for dinner at night, saying that it was to catch the wind and wash the dust, and the old people in the village accompanied me to drink, and I was careful that I was drunk by the old village chief." β
When it came to drinking, Li Junlin had a headache, and several old people in the village toasted, and had to drink, and he was drunk several times, which caused Yunlu to take care of him all night, and he couldn't help but be a little afraid when he drank again today, and frowned and promised Mingjie. The ghost boy stuck out his tongue, Li Junlin glared, and Mingjie laughed and jumped out of the door.
After more than half a year of teaching life, Li Junlin almost forgot the troubles that had entangled him, and with these bird-like children, life was full and happy, and there was more beloved Yunlu to accompany him, and life was enough.
