At the end of the military training, at night, the soldiers still have cultural classes to attend, and the main lecture for the soldiers is war shamans.

Each Bai has two war shamans, who are both teachers, military doctors, and missionaries of the Spiritual Teachings.

The "Spiritual Message" is something they have to carry at any time, a thin book of less than 100,000 words, which can be easily carried in their arms, and then read and preach at any time, which is their teaching material and their spiritual food.

In fact, many people can't stop reading this book, not just shamans, but anyone who can read it fluently.

Not only because of the ideas it expounds, but more importantly because of the series of stories it tells.

Ma Whistle introduced a concept similar to "parallel worlds" into the worldview of the Spiritual Oracle Sect, and based on this, grafted many classic stories from later generations.

For example, the caesarean section of "Let the Bullets Fly", such as the novel "The Wandering Earth...... Of course, he must not have moved it directly, but adapted it and then wrote it into the scriptures, otherwise it would inevitably be too disobedient.

In addition to the story, there are also some jokes with rich meanings, such as "Yes, Chancellor" and "Soviet Jokes".

With this content, even people who have no interest in religion or science will read the oracle with gusto.

And for those who are thirsty for knowledge, the connotation of the "Spiritual Message" is even richer.

Basic scientific knowledge is not to be said.

The most frustrating thing is that there is also a chapter in the book called "The Holy Question", which is about some problems that no one can solve proposed by Ma Whistle, mainly mathematical problems, such as: Goldbach conjecture, Riemann conjecture, twin prime conjecture, four-color conjecture......

That's right, the horse whistle is copying Hilbert's twenty-three questions!

Of course, he didn't copy them all, and it was not appropriate to put forward some advanced conjectures now.

Goldbach's conjecture, which has already arisen, was also written, but with the addition of the phrase "I have heard".

In addition to mathematics, there are also problems in physics, chemistry, biology, history, and geography, all of which are of a similar level, and many of them have not been solved in the 21st century.

In this way, Ma Whistle asked thirty-six questions, and claimed that anyone who solved one would be willing to be called a teacher—sincerely.

At present, there is an English version of the oracle, which is gradually spreading in Clark Town, but there are not enough characters to fully understand the "Sacred Questions".

Not to mention a small town, looking at the whole world, there are very few people who can fully understand the meaning of these thirty-six difficult questions.

As for the solution, it is even more unlikely.

It is entirely conceivable how a top scientist would feel when he read the Sacred Questions.

War shamans hold oracles in their hands and spread their thoughts among the army.

Other shamans are doing similar work, such as the two shamans at the Clark Town Clinic and the public elementary school.

Another example is that the more than 900 captives were also undergoing labor reform, and receiving the earnest teachings of the shamans.

Rehabilitation camp for prisoners.

More than 900 captives gathered around several campfires and listened to the shamans tell them the oracles, many of whom were able to hear them.

It's not early.

"That's the end of tonight's compulsory lesson." The shaman said, "Next is the elective course, and if you don't want to learn, you can take a break." ”

Most of the captives dispersed and went back to their rooms to rest. It's not that they don't want to attend classes, it's that time doesn't allow it.

If they choose to take electives, they will inevitably get enough sleep and have work to do during the day, so they will have to rest early to avoid punishment.

There are also a small number of people who choose to take elective courses, only a few dozen.

The overseer ordered them to gather several dim bonfires and re-raise a large, exuberant bonfire so that the lesson could continue.

They shoveled up the burning wood and moved to the same place, sometimes talking to the people around them.

"Hawkeye, why are you going to take electives too?" An Arappaho man looked at his young companion who was shoveling wood together.

"I figured it out." Hawkeye said.

"What figured it out?"

"A lot." Hawkeye lowered his head and was silent for a few seconds, then continued, "First of all, I decided to learn the language and writing of the Apache as soon as possible, at least like you, Smoke. ”

The Arapaho, known as the Smoke, smiled, "I'm not learning Apache either. ”

Hawkeye: "You have a thousand words, double your salary, you can work two hours less a day, you can get one day off a week, and your sentence is only four years." ”

"I have some foundation." "Thanks to my second wife, she was the woman my uncle snatched from Apache. ”

Then he changed his words: "You listen to the elective class, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to get up tomorrow morning?" Or doze off while working. ”

Hawkeye: "So what, it's nothing more than being scolded, deducting wages, at most frog jumping, push-ups." Even if I deduct all of my salary this month, as long as I can pass the next month's exam, my salary will be doubled, and I will earn it back soon. ”

"Indeed." Smoke nodded.

"And ......," Hawkeye hesitated for a moment, "and I don't think there's anything wrong with learning Apache." At least, the Apache of Sleeping Bear City are so different, they are warm, kind, intelligent, and treat us captives with many rules and morals, unlike anyone I've ever met. ”

Smoke didn't speak for a moment, shoveled the last of the burning wood onto the campfire, handed over the shovel, and sat down around the campfire.

"There's more to it than just being different." Eventually, he said, "If you listen to the shaman's lessons, or even read a part of the oracle yourself, you will feel that the raven's words are not false. ”

"What do you mean ......"

Smoke sighed, "The children of the sky of Apache will surely impress everyone." I didn't believe it when the crow said this a year ago, but now, I probably understand the meaning of it better than the crow. ”

"I already see our future." "We're all going to be Apaches," he said slowly. ”

……

The last day of December.

Dressed in a cowhide coat, the horse whistle sat in the chief's hall reading a newspaper.

Compared to the beginning, he now buys a more diverse range of newspapers, not just the three most famous, he also buys many lesser-known newspapers, as well as some books.

So he was able to get more information.

However, there is also some information that has nothing to do with the newspaper, such as the one he sees now.

"Mexico's foreign ministry said it refused to meet with U.S. special envoy John Sleider and refused all negotiations."

There was also a comment in the newspaper: "The fragile Herrera government is afraid to meet with Sledel, and President Herrera knows that if he negotiates with the United States, even if it is just a discussion about what to eat lunch, he will be driven out of the presidential palace by domestic dissatisfaction......"

Ma Whistle looked at the news, thought for a while, and finally found a rainy day: "It's time to talk about Mexico, we have to have a meeting." ”
