"Take this and learn how to read." Ren Baqian threw a copy of the Three Character Classic to Lin Mengsheng.
Lin Mengsheng flipped through a few pages and finally knew why Ren Baqian wanted him to learn how to read. There were actually two types of words on the book. One was a common language that was used in Great Xia, the Yun Nation, and the Chen Nation.
The other type had never been seen before.
"These words are …" Lin Mengsheng was puzzled, but he didn't ask and continued to flip through the book.
There were more than 1,000 words in total. Logically speaking, he should be able to finish flipping through them very quickly, but he read very slowly. The more he read, the more puzzled he became.
"As I thought, Principal Ren is using benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and filial piety to influence the barbarians. This is indeed the way of a sage." After reading some of the content, Lin Mengsheng exclaimed in admiration and then asked, "However, why can't I find the source of some of the content in this book?"
Lin Mengsheng highly appreciated the contents of the Three Character Classic. This book was even more brilliant than Great Xia's primary reading material. The excellent morality, social views, and values were directly revealed in the words.
The only thing that he didn't understand was where the allusions came from.
"Heh, do you think that the world consists of Great Xia, the Yun Nation, the Chen Nation, and Dayao? It's just a remote place! " Ren Baqian chuckled. Since he had entered the academy, he would definitely see those teaching materials and robots. Since he couldn't hide it anyway, he might as well brag.
It wasn't easy to brag at first, but now that he knew that the humans were driven from the other side of the mountains and the sea, he had a plan.
On the other side of the mountains and the sea, there was a group of smurfs. They were lively, smart, mischievous, and sensitive …
Cough! There was another human nation! They had a civilization different from the four nations and a more developed society. Ren Baqian was from that nation, which explained a lot of things.
Anyway, they couldn't verify it, right? When they had the ability to verify it, Ren Baqian could take them to outer space!
Even though the Great Empress had explained the origins of the human race to the imperial court, she had ordered them not to divulge it to anyone else. After all, this matter involved too many people, and it wouldn't be beneficial to let more people know!
However, this didn't prevent Ren Baqian from revealing that the four countries currently occupied only a corner of this world.
Sure enough, as soon as Ren Baqian said this, Lin Mengsheng was immediately dumbfounded with an incredulous look on his face!
"Principal Ren's meaning … Principal Ren's meaning …" Ren Baqian was a quick-witted person, but he couldn't even speak fluently at this moment. It was evident that Ren Baqian's words had an impact on his worldview.
Previously, everyone thought that they were at the center of the world.
And there was only one continent in this world!
However, Ren Baqian's words shattered her worldview that she had always had.
"That's what I meant! This was just a corner of the world! Whether it's the aboriginals, Great Xia, or the Yun Nation, they are all barbarians in my eyes … "Ren Baqian smiled mysteriously.
"Are there really other countries in this world?" Lin Mengsheng looked at the Three Character Classic in his hand, not knowing whether to believe it or not.
He didn't expect to hear such a horrifying thing on his first day at the academy. This made some of the thoughts in his mind turn into a mess.
"Just like the roads outside, the glass, and the cement roads may seem magical to you, but they're actually very common things." Ren Baqian shrugged.
Lin Mengsheng thought about what Ren Baqian said and then looked at the Three Character Classic and began to believe it.
Seeing that it was almost time, Ren Baqian dragged the bewildered Lin Mengsheng to class.
"This is Lin Mengsheng, who will be an assistant teacher at the academy soon." Ren Baqian pointed at Lin Mengsheng, who was standing at the door in a daze.
"Someone from the Jing Tribe?" Someone was immediately puzzled.
"Are you stupid? People from the Jing Tribe have big heads! Is he from the Yun Nation? "
"I heard that yesterday, Her Majesty offered him an official position and wanted to come to the academy to teach. Is that him?"
The students immediately started discussing.
"It's good that you have heard about it. I won't say more. Be more well-behaved in the future! Don't hit or scold the teachers! Don't threaten the teachers! If I find out what you have done, you know the consequences! "Ren Baqian looked fierce.
Just now, he knew that Lin Mengsheng was only at the Man Wheel level, which was considered pretty good in the Yun Nation. At the very least, he could open a martial arts center and accept disciples. As a scholar, this was considered a very high level of strength.
Unfortunately, this was Dayao! The peddlers who set up stalls on the street were all at the Man Wheel level. If they weren't at the Earth Wheel level, they would be embarrassed to say that they practiced martial arts.
The unscrupulous merchants of the Yun Nation had offended Dayao a lot over the years and had just been at war for more than a year. If Ren Baqian didn't warn them, he would probably see "Humiliating the Classroom" tomorrow.
After Ren Baqian lectured for the whole morning, Lin Mengsheng became even more confused.
Before coming here, he was still very confident in his knowledge. Not to mention being a teacher, it wouldn't be a problem for him to take the written exam in Great Xia.
In the end, he realized that he didn't understand what Ren Baqian was saying at all …
He had never heard of square roots, cubic roots, or the law of universal gravitation …
In addition, what shocked him even more was that there were puppets that could speak, emit light, and even make pictures appear on the wall!
In the past, he felt that the stories of wooden oxen and horses that could move were fantastical enough. After seeing it today, he realized that what he had heard before wasn't true! If that puppet said that it was made by the gods, he would believe it.
At this point, he completely trusted Ren Baqian's words!
He had to believe it!
He also sadly realized that he didn't only have to learn words, but also had a lot to learn … Now, he could even call a student to be his teacher, let alone a teacher …
Ren Baqian didn't care about his thoughts and went back to the office to wait after class.
In addition to attending classes and making arrangements for Lin Mengsheng, there was another thing he needed to do, which was to receive gifts!
Although it wasn't a big deal, he had to give so many people a chance since they were full of enthusiasm and anticipation.
…
At this time, a few people were walking on a street in Beihong District with horrified looks on their faces.
There wasn't anything unusual on this street yesterday, but today, there were all kinds of skeletons hanging on the walls on both sides of the street. There were animal heads, human heads, sternum, spine, thigh bones, feet, and so on. There was a dazzling array of skeletons, and every one of them was terrifyingly white. When the wind blew through the gaps of these skeletons, the entire street was filled with the wailing of ghosts and the howling of gods. Even under the bright sunlight, they felt cold all over and were surrounded by gusts of chilly wind.
"I heard that when a new prisoner enters the prison, they usually have to show their strength first. Is this how they show their strength? "
"What are they doing? We're just here to send a visiting card today. There's no need to put on such a big show, right? "
"I don't think it's appropriate to send a visiting card today …"
"Cough, stick out your chests. We're here to send gifts! No matter how barbaric they are, they won't behead those who send gifts, right? "
"…"
"Didn't they just behead one yesterday?!"
