Turns Out I’m a Great Cultivator

When Li Nianfan came here last time, he didn't have time to stroll around, but this time he was too leisurely.

Moreover, the palace of the Xia Dynasty has obviously been improved and is much more luxurious.

But at this moment, there was a sound of footsteps, and then Zhou Yunwu came striding forward with a hurried expression. When he saw Li Nianfan, he immediately smiled, cupped his hands and said, "Yunwu has met Mr."

Li Nianfan also returned the gift, "Prince Zhou."

Zhou Yunwu said sincerely: "Last time, the Xia Dynasty had internal and external troubles, and Yunwu had always felt deeply guilty for not being able to treat Mr. well. Now it is rare for Mr. to come over. This time, I must show my kindness as a landlord."

Next, Zhou Yunwu personally took Li Nianfan to wander around the palace, with an earnest attitude, causing many court ladies and servants to look sideways, incomparably surprised, not knowing where it came from.

You know, King Zhou has always been neither humble nor overbearing, showing the majesty of the king, and even put forward the theory that mortals should be self-improvement, but it has never been like this.

Humility, yes, humility!

From the main hall to the back hall, and then went to the prison to gain knowledge, and then came to the back garden, wandering around the palace of the Xia Dynasty.

Zhou Yunwu introduced various things along the way, and at the same time explained to Li Nianfan the various major events that happened in the Xia Dynasty, focusing on how the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and how optimistic the current situation is.

He was obviously the king, but he felt like reporting work, and Li Nianfan's good words immediately made him feel elated.

When everyone came to the back garden, there were a lot of flowers, pavilions, small bridges and flowing water, and there were a few big koi flopping about underwater.

Li Nianfan was admiring the scenery, and smiled at Long'er, "Long'er, look, your kind."

In exchange for Longer's rolling eyes, Nannan giggled beside her.

Behind him, Meng Junliang looked at Zhou Yunwu, couldn't help taking a step forward, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, haven't you encountered many problems recently? Why do you only report good news but not bad news?"

"Mr. has helped us enough, how can I ask for everything?" Zhou Yunwu shook his head and continued: "Since the master has entrusted me with the burden, I should pick it up! Try to let Gao People are satisfied, not what is said is a problem."

Meng Junliang fell silent.

He naturally understood this.

Zhou Yunwu said: "Sir, I've walked a lot, sit down and rest, I'll let my servants make tea."

"Alright." Li Nianfan nodded.

On the side, Nannan couldn't hold back her temper and said, "Brother Nianfan, I want to go out for a stroll."

Nannan and Long'er were naturally not interested in the topics that Zhou Yunwu and Li Nianfan were talking about, and they were already impatient.

Li Nianfan also noticed it, and said with a smile: "Go, don't cause trouble."

Zhou Yunwu hurriedly summoned a court lady, and said solemnly: "Take the two girls out for a walk, remember, don't neglect in the slightest!"

Everyone sat down, Zhou Yunwu swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said expectantly: "What do you think of the current Xia Dynasty?"

"Live and work in peace and prosperity, very good."

Li Nianfan smiled, then said after a pause, "However... there is one shortcoming."

Zhou Yunwu and Meng Junliang were both taken aback, showing doubts.

Although the Xia Dynasty is now facing a bottleneck, as far as the city is concerned, it is definitely the largest city in the entire world of cultivating immortals. How can there be deficiencies?

Zhou Yunwu said seriously: "Please teach me, sir."

"Hehe, it's not a big deal, it's just that the entertainment life is not enough." Li Nianfan smiled, "When the material life tends to be perfect, only when the matching entertainment is enriched can people feel more satisfied."

This sentence is actually a half-joking statement, but it is also true.

Entertainment is sometimes more conducive to domination.

"Entertainment?" Meng Junliang and Zhou Yunwu both looked thoughtful. They are smart people, so they can naturally perceive the mystery.

Meng Junliang couldn't help asking: "It's just...how can this enrich entertainment life?"

"Look at this, playing cards!" Li Nianfan took out the playing cards again.

This deck of cards has not been made for a long time, so Li Nianfan still likes to take it out, and this is one of his rare entertainments.

Seeing Zhou Yunwu and Meng Junliang's bewildered expressions, Li Nianfan's smile grew stronger, "Stop talking, I'll teach you, come and play?"

"Stick what you want, don't dare to ask you."

Immediately, a human emperor, a great Confucian, and a virtuous sage gathered around and played poker...

Outside the back garden.

A group of ministers are looking forward to it. Most of them are old and looking inside.

At this moment, a court lady walked out of the back garden.

Immediately, they surrounded him one after another, eager and anxious.

"How? What are the king and the military adviser doing inside?"

The palace maid was taken aback and said in a trembling voice, "I'm... playing poker inside."

"Playing poker?" Everyone was stunned, you looked at me, I looked at you, all showing doubts and surprises.

"Who is poker? When I hear this name, I want to play it too."

"How can the king do such rough work himself? This poker is so brave, we should let us play it."

"I understand!" An old minister suddenly showed his enlightened body, and began to analyze logically: "Isn't the king here to receive a distinguished guest? The conversation is probably broken, and this poker is the name of that distinguished guest!"

"What you said makes sense."

"There are reasons and evidence, and it is likely to be the case."

"Good fight, good fight!"

All the ministers stroked their beards and showed gratified smiles. The king turned back from the road of licking, gratifying to congratulate.

"Everyone misunderstood." The maid trembling aside, almost crying from fright, said weakly: "Poker is a game, the king is playing happily with that distinguished guest."

"Game? Play?"

"Confused, confused! What kind of poker are you going to play at such a critical moment, which concerns the future of my Xia Dynasty?"

"Playing with things and losing one's ambition, playing with things and losing one's ambition!"

The ministers suddenly showed distraught expressions, wishing they could rush in and risk their lives to speak out.

"Hey, this distinguished guest of the king really... will affect the fate of our Xia Dynasty!"

An old official suddenly let out a long sigh, kept shaking his head, and sighed: "I just asked, do you know that the way you came all the way, the king is not like a king at all, you can be said to be obedient to that distinguished guest, and his attitude is so humble Extremely, many servants even thought this was a fake king!"

"There is such a thing? Bewitched, this is definitely bewitched! The king is not like a king, my Xia Dynasty is about to perish!"

"Where is the military division? What does the military division eat? Why is it also bewitched?"

"Military division? Don't mention it!"

A general stepped forward, with grief and indignation on his face, and tearfully said: "Not long ago, the military master took that distinguished guest to the Dianjiang Hall, and they actually... actually... woo woo woo..."

Everyone was anxious, "What's wrong, tell me quickly!"

"He actually made a mockery of our general training, General Lin just refuted a few words, but guess what, the military adviser asked him to apologize!"

"What? There is such a thing?!"

"Confused, confused!"

"This person is trying to kill my Xia Dynasty!"

The eye sockets of all the ministers were anxious, and some emotional ones had already shed hot tears, feeling sad.

"This matter cannot be delayed, you all follow me to advise!"

"That's right, we can't wait any longer, let's go together, if we die, we will die!"

Immediately, everyone hit it off and headed for the back garden in a mighty manner.

"Clang!"

At the door, a row of guards drew their knives in unison. The knives were shiny and murderous.

"The king is entertaining distinguished guests, trespassers will be killed without mercy!"

this……

"It's not that we can't wait, it's not in a hurry."

"This statement is very true, very true!"

...

"To three."

"Sorry."

"Pass."

Li Nianfan put down the last card, "A four, sorry, I won again."

"Come again, come again!" Zhou Yunwu's heart was extremely aggrieved, the key was that he couldn't accept the last way of failure.

He couldn't help looking at Meng Junliang, "Military Master, why do you feel that you have been absent-minded?"

"Oh, I'm sorry, I was thinking about something, and I was a little distracted." Meng Junliang frowned slightly, his eyes were fixed on the card, and he always felt that there was something very important in his mind, but he always kept a little distracted. Ephemeral, hard to catch.

what exactly is it?

He stared blankly at Li Nianfan shuffling the cards, then dealing the cards, and holding the cards in his hand, staring blankly at the numbers on the cards.

Zhou Yunwu couldn't help but joked: "Military Master, you are the master of this game, why are you so dumb? You don't even recognize the numbers on the cards, do you?"

number?

By the way, numbers!

Meng Junliang's body shook suddenly, as if he had just woken up from a dream, staring at the numbers on the playing cards with wide eyes.

At the very beginning, the scenes that Li Nianfan taught them seemed to be playing back.

This is one, this is two, this is three...

"This, this is..."

His soul seemed to start to tremble, and goosebumps appeared all over his body, as if his scalp was about to explode.

"Wow!"

He stood up abruptly, and the chair under his buttocks flew several meters away and collapsed to the ground.

"Simplified numbers! That's right, we count population, food, and many things. Why don't we know how to use simple numbers to count? It's so clear and easy to understand, even the elderly and children are still easy to understand!"

He seemed to have opened the door to a new world in an instant, his lips trembled, his face was flushed with excitement, and he said in a trembling voice: "Why didn't I think of it, why didn't I think of it! A stroke of genius is simply a stroke of magic!"

His voice was hoarse and high-pitched, and when it reached Zhou Yunwu's ears, his pupils shrank suddenly and his heart pounded.

"Wow!"

The stool behind Zhou Yunwu was also thrown out, and he stammered: "Mr....Military division, you, what did you just say, say it again?"

Meng Junliang excitedly said: "Your Majesty, this is a simplified version of the figures! If this method is popularized, the statistics will be too simple in the future!"

"Yes, it's a simplified version of the number, and it's the blessing of our Xia Dynasty!" Zhou Yunwu couldn't help himself, as if he saw a huge event beckoning to him, he quickly took a deep breath, and faced Li Nianfan, with a kind of piety With an extreme attitude, he bowed respectfully and said gratefully: "Thank you sir, sir, you have benefited all people in the world again!"

Meng Junliang also raised his hand and bowed deeply, "Sir, you are playing a game, you are clearly reminding us! Jun Liang's mind is slow, and he didn't think of it until now. He is really ashamed of Mr.'s teaching!"

You are ashamed ass, I am ashamed!

I really just want to play in peace.

Li Nianfan stared blankly at the two people who were serious about it, his lips moved, and finally showed a look of relief, "Yes, a child can be taught, as long as you understand it!"

Forget it, it's all like this, since the force is up, it can only continue to pretend.

Zhou Yunwu said reverently: "Sir, you are truly an incomparable talent. You can even think of such a method. This is a new number that will be passed down through the ages."

Meng Junliang even suggested: "Sir, this number should have a name, why not name it after you."

"Don't!" Li Nianfan immediately raised his hand to stop, "Let's call it Arabic numerals, it's easy to pronounce and easy to hear."

"Arabic... numerals?"

Both Meng Junliang and Zhou Yunwu were dumbfounded, and then nodded in unison, "Good name, obscure and profound but catchy, as expected of you sir! Names are unique."

"Come on, come on." Li Nianfan waved his hand, feeling that these two are real treasures, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Do you think that's the only way for Arabic numerals?"

"Could it be that there is another mystery?" Zhou Yunwu's spirit was shaken, and he said respectfully: "Please teach me, sir."

"Ahem, sit down, sit down and learn slowly."

Li Nianfan made a gesture of invitation, and then said, "Little Daji, take out our pen and paper."

He started writing on paper.

"I'll teach you the addition and subtraction of numbers first. Watch out, this is 1+1=2."

"1+1=2?" Meng Junliang frowned and thought for a long time, then asked in confusion, "Why is this? I don't understand."

"This is a symbol, which is convenient for calculation..."

"I see, 1+1=2, I finally learned it."

...

"Next, I will teach you the nine-nine multiplication table, come and memorize it."

...

After more than an hour, the cheeks of Meng Junliang and Zhou Yunwu were numb and stiff, because their mouths were kept wide open for such a long time.

As Li Nianfan's explanation came to an end, their brains exploded with a bang, as if a magical door opened.

"The enlightenment, the evening drum and the morning bell! Sir, this method, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the words of a sage!"

Zhou Yunwu was so excited that his whole body was trembling. Just this method was enough to bring about earth-shaking changes in the entire Xia Dynasty. This is the blessing of thousands of people!

"It's indescribable, it's simply indescribable!" Meng Junliang didn't know what to do. Finally, he bent his legs and knelt down directly. "Only by throwing my body on the ground can I express my admiration for my husband!"

No wonder he does.

As the saying goes, if you hear the Tao in the morning, you can die in the evening.

As a great Confucian, Meng Junliang has been pursuing a kind of way from the beginning to the end. However, now, Li Nianfan has shown him another vast world. If not for Li Nianfan, he might not be able to see it in this life. This is tantamount to recreating Grace!

Under the extreme excitement, it is inevitable that this will happen. Rather than worshiping Li Nianfan, it is better to say that he is worshiping this brand new Tao.

Li Nianfan helped Meng Junliang up and said with a smile: "Okay, you don't have to do this. This is just a new subject. It will be called mathematics in the future. This is the most important thing. Remember to let the children learn a lot. Practice more!"

Meng Junliang and Zhou Yunwu nodded solemnly at the same time, "Definitely, definitely!"
