Please don't force me to be a god.

In the evening.

As soon as Su'er and Xu Wen came back, they pestered Zhang Tian to ask about the following content.

Su'er shook Zhang Tian's hand and begged, "Brother Zhang Tian, ​​what is the name of the Monkey King? I want to know it before my classmates. I will go and tell them tomorrow morning."

Zhang Tian smiled and said, "Have you memorized the number of the continents and the heavens and the earth?"

"Oh..." Su'er's face fell suddenly.

They can't remember it as children, but for the teachers and students present, it's easy to remember these things.

After class, they will naturally excerpt it and let the students take it back to recite it well.

If it were other mythological knowledge, Zhang Tian would definitely not torture the students like this.

But these involve some macroscopic geography and astronomy knowledge. If you memorize it, you basically know the general situation of the entire earth.

This is a seed.

As this story spreads, China can hope to be one step ahead of the West, understand the world, and travel around the world.

Thus breaking the historical law that has been circling in the Central Plains for thousands of years.

Xu Wen said shamelessly, "Hehe, Master, I remember it. Can you tell me the story alone?"

Su'er was about to go out of the courtyard to recite his homework, but he stopped when he heard this.

Zhang Tian glanced at Xu Wen and said, "You are an adult and a scholar. How can your homework be the same as Su'er's?"

"What should I do?"

"Of course, I will prepare for the imperial examination. To prevent you from being distracted, you don't need to listen to this story. After the imperial examination, I will find someone else to tell you."

"Uh..." Xu Wen's face became serious, and he said solemnly, "Listening to the stories told by the Master can relax the body and mind, increase wisdom, and enlighten the mind. It will make the disciple's literary thoughts like the Yellow River flooding out of control. How can the disciple miss it?"

"I will study hard with Su'er now."

"The Master will start the lecture tomorrow, and the disciple must be very tired. It's just right for me to listen to the Master's stories to relax my body and mind."

As he said this, he took Su'er, who was very reluctant to leave, and went to the backyard to recite the book.

Tiedong saw that the two children were studying hard.

He couldn't just lie down in his room after dinner.

So he also took a big knife and danced vigorously in the backyard.

Almost the same situation happened in dozens of families in Lin'an Prefecture.

The parents of those little brats were surprised and worried to see their children so hardworking.

Instead, they advised the children not to worry and to recite slowly after dinner.

Unexpectedly, the children got anxious with their parents first and said: Dad, Mom, don't stop me. If I can't recite it, there will be no story to listen to tomorrow.

Many parents took the homework and saw what was written on it. They thought it was some unknown book knowledge.

Many people only live within a range of 100 to 200 kilometers in their entire lives.

Those who know the geographical knowledge of Dali, Tubo, Western Liao, Mongolia, and Nanyang are already well-informed.

Seeing that the children are so hardworking, they naturally admire Mingde Academy.

…………

At the same time, in the palace.

Emperor An You received three copies of the first chapter of "Journey to the West" on his desk.

One was submitted by Xu Wen.

Another was submitted by Fu Jinyu through his grandfather, Fu Wenlin, the Shaoqing of the Taichang Temple.

Another was forwarded by the dean through an official.

Emperor An You took a quick look at all three copies and immediately felt something was wrong.

Although there was nothing wrong with the plot, all three copies were consistent.

But in terms of details, there were many differences in the three copies.

At that time, Zhang Tian just happened to be there and gave a casual talk, and others just listened casually.

Naturally, they would not deliberately remember it.

When I wanted to copy it later, I found that some details could no longer be remembered.

Emperor Anyou threw the scroll on the table and cursed, "Asshole! Three people listened to Master Zhang's speech face to face, but they couldn't remember it. It's all irrelevant."

"They can't write clearly even when they are face to face. If they are asked to study and write history in the future, won't it be a mess?!"

After thinking for a while, he said, "Xiao Zhuozi, you should take Xu Wen's copy as the main one, copy down the differences between the other two copies, and send them to Xu Wen."

Zhuo Ping immediately understood and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

"I will ask Brother Xu to ask the immortal master later, and ask the immortal master to correct me."

"Yes." Emperor Anyou was very satisfied, "By the way, when Master Zhang was telling the story, did you have any strange visions?"

"This..., I have been in the palace today and haven't heard about it yet."

"Then ask Xu Wen by the way when you send the copy over."

"As you wish."

When Zhang Tian was "saving" Old Lady Shi in Shijia Village, there were Buddhas chanting, flowers falling from the sky, and golden lotuses emerging from the ground.

Zhuo Ping was among the crowd at the time and saw it with his own eyes.

Emperor An You had read Zhuo Ping's report and charcoal drawings and had been looking forward to seeing them with his own eyes.

But he did not dare to ask ZhangTian performed for him, and fearing that Zhang Tian would be angry, he left in anger.

After the morning court the next day.

Emperor Anyou left Prime Minister Cai and Minister Shi alone, showed them Zhang Tian's story, and pointed out the mistakes in the transcription.

Minister Shi smiled and said, "Your Majesty, Master Zhang's words are profound, and there are so many secrets hidden in them. When transcribing, you really can't make any mistakes."

"Why not, let me go to the Imperial College and transfer two students who can remember everything they see to listen to the lecture. Afterwards, they will copy it and compare it one by one, which can ensure that there is no mistake."

"Well, not bad." Emperor Anyou said, "But you must strictly order the students of the Imperial College not to speak without permission, so as not to disturb Master Zhang's interest."

"As ordered!"

The Imperial College is the highest institution of learning in the Nan'an Dynasty, gathering talents from all over the world, and there are geniuses recommended from all over the country to study.

Although there are not many students who can remember everything they see, it is still easy to find two.

Prime Minister Cai was secretly envious and a little anxious.

His reputation was not good, so the Imperial College, a clean institution, naturally would not follow him.

In order to check and balance, the emperor would not let him intervene in the cultivation of future national pillars.

Now the credit for copying books naturally cannot fall to his name.

…………

The next day.

Zhang Tian came to Mingde Academy as promised, symbolically checked the recitation of several children, and then continued to tell stories.

I found that there were a few more unfamiliar faces among the scholars in the back row.

Some people even prepared hard pens and notebooks to record at any time.

Zhang Tian first talked about how Bodhi Patriarch gave the Monkey King the name "Sun Wukong", and the appetite of the little brats who had been hung was finally satisfied.

They started to play naughty, some called themselves the Monkey King, some called themselves Sun Wukong, and even some called themselves Bodhi Mother.

Zhang Tian smiled, not angry, and let them make trouble.

After they were reprimanded by the teacher and calmed down, he continued to talk.

The second chapter was about Sun Wukong asking Bodhi Patriarch what kind of practice could lead to "immortality".

When everyone heard the "immortal" talking about "immortality", they thought there was some great secret of heaven and earth, and they dared not breathe, for fear of missing out.

Seeing this, Zhang Tian had an idea.

He added some Taoist meditation breathing exercises of later generations, such as Xiao Zhoutian Gong, yoga meditation breathing method, etc.

These are all some cultivation methods that have been widely verified in later generations, which can cultivate the mind and cultivate the nature, and are simple and easy to learn.

When everyone heard it, they were overjoyed.

Here it comes, it really comes, the immortal is teaching in person.

Zhang Tian was afraid that they would waste time on these basic methods because of their "immortal" identity.

He also emphasized that these exercises can only be used for fitness, not for immortality.

Even so, everyone was very excited.

I think this is reasonable. How can the true method of becoming an immortal be spread in public?

It is already generous of an immortal to have this basic method of cultivation.

Didn’t you see that in the story, when Bodhi Patriarch wanted to teach Sun Wukong the 72 transformations, he had to knock on his head three times, suggesting that he should come to the back door in the middle of the night to confirm that Wukong had wisdom before he could teach him.

Maybe these basic methods are used to select people with wisdom.
