At this point, Zhang Tian simply let go.

Through the mouth of Bodhi Patriarch, he also brought out the realm of cultivation in later generations.

For example, the realms of cultivation include: foundation building, opening, fusion, heartbeat, golden elixir, primordial infant, out of body, spirit division, fusion, cave, Mahayana, and tribulation.

After becoming an immortal, there are: human immortal, earth immortal, scattered immortal, true immortal, heavenly immortal, golden immortal, Daluo Jinxian, quasi-sage, and saint.

The three views of a group of listeners were shattered and stunned.

It felt like peeping into the road to becoming an immortal.

The story behind.

Zhang Tian felt that some practical knowledge could be mixed in, so he let the children recite it by the way.

For example, when it was written that Sun Wukong went to the Dragon King of the East China Sea and got the Ruyi Jingu Bang.

Zhang Tian smiled mischievously and said, "This stick weighs 13,500 jin, and is 31 feet, 4 inches, 1 minute, 5 centimeters, 9 millimeters, 2 seconds, and 6 seconds long."

"You can simply write this number as: 3.1415926."

He wrote down the Arabic numerals 0-9 and matched them with the Chinese characters one, two, three, four, etc.

He also said a few simple rules, such as ten is written as 10, and one hundred is written as 100.

With this little spark, plus his own influence and the spread of "Journey to the West".

Zhang Tian believed that these simple and easy-to-use Arabic numerals would soon be popularized.

With these simple recording methods, the mathematical knowledge accumulated in ancient times can be promoted at a blowout speed.

Mathematics is the mother of science.

This is immeasurable for the progress of civilization in the future.

Compared with those knowledgeable students, a large group of little kids were stunned when they heard this strange number.

Why can't it be an easy-to-remember integer like the 18,000-li somersault cloud?

By the way, Sun Wukong's 18,000-li somersault cloud was changed by Zhang Tian to 18,000 li, which is 9,000 kilometers.

He also casually hinted that the circumference of the earth is 80,000 li.

Sun Wukong only needs to turn a few more somersault clouds to return to the origin from the other side of the world.

Everyone thought it was magical, but didn't think deeply.

Some smart children had already sensed something was wrong when they heard this strange number.

Sure enough, amid the wailing of the little kid, Zhang Tian left a lot of homework.

So every day, Zhang Tian came to tell stories when he was free.

The content of the first few chapters, which was not very long, was told for half a month because it was mixed with too much water.

The lecturer also took advantage of Zhang Tian's storytelling to guide the students.

As a result, the schoolwork of a group of little brats improved by leaps and bounds.

Some of the smarter ones could already help their families with their accounts with Arabic numerals.

As a result, the news spread quickly in Lin'an Prefecture: Mingde Academy had immortals teaching, and the children were all enlightened.

In just half a month, they became smarter than other children who had studied for several years.

Many people began to constantly look for Wen Yuquan, the dean and others, trying to build relationships and send their children in.

Many people even wanted to squeeze in to listen and see what was being taught?

However, the emperor had already prepared for these phenomena.

Secretly arranged personnel to quietly suppress and guide these people.

If it weren't for this, I'm afraid Mingde Academy would have been crowded and unable to enter and exit.

Every time Zhang Tian came, he only felt that there were more people around him, but it didn't affect his travel, so he didn't bother to think too much.

In the first ten chapters, the story of Sun Wukong was told, and Zhang Tian made a little change.

Zhang Tian referred to the image of Sun Wukong in the minds of most people in later generations and deleted or changed some cruel contents.

For example, in the plot of the 27th chapter of the three fights with the White Bone Demon, which has not been mentioned yet, there is a passage:

The monk laughed and said, "Master, how can you recognize it! When I was a demon in the Water Curtain Cave, if I wanted to eat human flesh, I would do it like this. Or change it into gold and silver, or change it into a farm, or change it into a drunken person, or change it into a woman. If there is such a foolish person who falls in love with me, I will lure him into the cave, and steam or boil it as I wish; if I can't eat it, I will dry it in case it is cloudy! Master, if I come late, you will definitely fall into his trap and suffer from his poisonous hands!"

Many people use this passage to explain that Sun Wukong once ate people and was extremely cruel.

But some people argue that this was Sun Wukong's deliberate words to scare Tang Sanzang.

Zhang Tian is not interested in distinguishing the truth from the false.

In order to take care of the children and preserve a beautiful image of the Monkey King for them, all of them were deleted.

At this point, except for some knowledge mixed in by Zhang Tian, ​​it was still harmonious.

With the ability of the two students who had a photographic memory, it was not difficult to remember.

Emperor An You waited for the students who attended the class to copy it down and present it to him every day, and he enjoyed reading it.It tastes good.

He has even begun to follow the precepts and practice the basic exercises in it.

He no longer asks his concubines to sleep with him every day, and gradually, his physical complexion has improved a lot.

But when Tang Sanzang appeared, everyone began to lose their composure.

Zhang Tian borrowed the image of Tang Sanzang in "A Chinese Odyssey" and changed it into an extremely verbose character.

He always said:

"Although the donor looks at me sincerely, if you have any suffering, you have to speak to me."

"Only by speaking to me can I understand the cause and effect of the donor and help the donor resolve the disaster."

"Donor, if you have something to say, just say it. If you don't, I will wait for you to say it. If you have something to say, please say it... I am almost done, and after that, you can say it..."

"Hey... Donor... Don't leave..."

When this image appeared, the little brats were angry and loved it.

They all cursed: "Why is Tang Sanzang so long-winded? I really want to beat him up."

"I heard from my parents that monks are always long-winded."

"It seems so. I've seen monks chanting sutras. They are amazing. They don't stop talking for an hour."

Zhang Tian laughed in his heart.

This way, the number of words can be reduced.

The story that was originally one chapter was reduced to three or five chapters because of the long-winded Tang Sanzang.

Zhang Tian calculated that at this rate, by the time he finished telling 100 chapters of "Journey to the West", these little brats would probably be able to pass the elementary school.

Zhang Tian and the children were just having fun, but it was hard for the two students who had a photographic memory.

There is a limit to photographic memory.

Like Zhang Tian, ​​every time he arranged Tang Sanzang's speech, it was a lot of long-winded and meaningless words, and he said whatever he thought of.

Trying to remember it word for word was simply a test of human limits, and he began to make mistakes frequently.

By the evening, the documents copied to the emperor's desk were much thicker, and the emperor was also overwhelmed.

I can't help but wonder, did the Tang Sanzang in history really say so many words?

Don't monks like to pick flowers and keep silent?

…………

Then, these stories spread to Buddhism.

Some abbots of temples have protested to the court through various channels.

How could our Buddhist monks be so imaged?

Our ordinary monks are verbose, but monks are definitely not so verbose.

Emperor Anyou naturally ignored it, and did not approve it when he saw it, and even asked someone to suppress it.

Seeing that it was useless to go to the court, the monks began to plan to go directly to the "Xiangyang Immortal" to debate scriptures to restore the reputation of Buddhism.

At the same time.

That day, a Taoist priest came to the south gate of Lin'an Prefecture.

Standing in front of the city gate, not in a hurry to go in, he began to sing:

"It's hard to travel, it's hard to travel. The water smoke is vast across the sea."

"It's hard to find a teacher and learn the truth, I don't know where to stay tonight."

"The incense burner has no fire, paper money is flying, the gods are crying, ghosts are crying, the sky is miserable."

"Occasionally one day, the sky opens its eyes, Chen Niwan knows that I am lazy."

…………

The song on his lips is miserable, but his simple face is calm and carefree, floating like a fairy.
