As soon as these words came out, needles could be heard on and off the stage.
Chen and Yi also stared at him with disbelief.
You...are you still the Dandy King Erlang of Bianjing we know?
Your nonsense seems to be more reasonable than Taoism and more practical than Buddhism.
I mean, brother... is this 'new learning' of yours a doctrine... or a school of thought...
Other students may not know the foundation of Xinxue, but the three of them know it very well. The so-called "Xinxue" is just the product of Wang Erlang's brainstorming and scolding. How come he has encountered the influence of the sun and the moon in the universe? porcelain?
"Do you have any basis for saying this?"
At this time, one of the four students on the opposite side spoke up, and he stuttered a bit because he was also shocked by Wang Zhi's words about the universe, the sun and the moon, but as the opponent, he couldn't think too much, he had to find fault.
However, this provocation really made the Neishe students a little embarrassed. Is there any basis for Huang Lao's theory? Is there any basis for Buddhist teachings? Is Confucianism well-founded? Not all of these schools of thought have no basis, but they are just assumptions. If you ask a student to find a basis, where can he find it? The end of the universe?
"have!!"
Just when everyone thought Wang Zhi would despise him, he replied firmly: "The evidence is beside us, right in front of our eyes."
Everyone was surprised and listened to Wang Zhiyan, "In the sixth year of Emperor Renzong's reign, there was a solar eclipse on the fourth day of the lunar month, which was called the month of Zhengyang. It has been tabooed since ancient times. Renzong wrote an edict of sin. In the first month of the fourth year of Emperor Jiayou's reign, there was an eclipse of the sun. The officials of Sun Mian and Pang Ji were dismissed. In June of the fourth year of Jiayou's reign, there was a lunar eclipse, so more than a hundred people came out of the palace to cultivate the Yin religion in response to the changes in the sky."
"Also said: In the third year of Yuan Fu, there will be an eclipse on the day when I ascend the throne, and I will issue an edict to speak frankly in response to the changes in heaven."
"Do you know the reason for this eclipse?"
This incident of the Heavenly Dog eclipsing the sun and the moon has been around since ancient times, and there are different opinions. The students in the audience expressed their opinions one after another. Most people believed that the emperor had lost his moral character, or that the government's policies were unbenevolent, which caused the anger of heaven and the resentment of people, and sent a warning from heaven.
Wang Zhi pressed his hands to signal for silence, then smiled and said: God has no time to care whether you are unethical or unbenevolent. According to my newly learned words, the earth and the moon revolve around the sun, and the three stars are all spherical. When the three points are connected, The time when the line is aligned is naturally when a solar or lunar eclipse occurs. If the earth is in the middle and the moon is behind, it is a lunar eclipse. If the moon is in the middle and the earth is behind, it is a solar eclipse. Due to the different orientation of the earth's rotation, there is also a difference between full and partial. "
"If you still don't believe it, you can insist on observing the Big Dipper at the same time every night, and you will find that the Big Dipper constellation is slowly moving from east to west, which means that the earth is rotating around the sun from west to east."
this……
All the students were silent, this is not a discussion, this is preaching... I'm afraid this is a show between you Xinxue and Neishe...
The fans of Xinxue were also confused at this time. How come I am waiting for Xinxue to be so powerful? Didn't you just make a fuss, let the higher authorities open up more ways to recruit scholars, and abolish the parallel prose examination, and you're done? Why is this almost becoming a school of thought...
The new school supporters were confused, and the inner school students were even more confused. Didn’t they say that as long as they followed Wang Zhi’s pretentious words that day, they would win?
Why are you chasing me so hard that I'm almost conquering myself...
The four people on the stage were dissatisfied, frowning and thinking of countermeasures. Suddenly one person's eyes lit up and he quickly said: "You said that the earth is spherical and rotating. Then why are we on the earth not thrown out?"
yes! !
Everyone suddenly realized that no wonder Wang Zhi's words made sense, but they always felt that something was wrong. It turned out that the problem was here. How could a person stand still on a rotating object? Obviously not. If Wang Zhiruo cannot explain this phenomenon clearly, then all the seemingly reasonable statements he has made before will have to be overturned.
Everyone looked at Wang Zhi and saw that he still calmly took out the copper coin that he had just withdrawn from his sleeve, and then threw it high in the sky.
"Snapped……"
The copper coin fell on the lecture platform and made a crisp sound. It spun twice on the table and then fell completely motionless.
Everyone looked back at Wang Zhi in confusion, waiting for his explanation.
Wang Zhi asked everyone, "Let me ask you, I just threw this copper coin into the sky, but why did it fall down again?"
yes!
Why?
This is an extremely common phenomenon. It is as normal as people needing to eat and drink water. But no one thinks about why copper coins fall down after being thrown into the sky?
Why? Why? Why didn't I know?
Everyone is a student who has read poetry and books, but they don't even understand the most common principles around them. Some people close their eyes and meditate, some scratch their ears and cheeks, and some beat their chests and feet, but no one can answer why the copper coins that went up to the sky fell to the ground again.
"Let me tell you!"
Wang Zhi smiled slightly and said: "Because of gravity!"
"Because the earth we stand on has gravity. It can pull everything firmly to the ground. No object can stop in the void without the help of external force."
"In the earth and the vast void of the universe where we are, there is no distinction between east, west, south, west, up, down, left, and right. Only for us as individuals, standing on the earth, we have our own direction, but for the earth , there is no such thing. As long as the earth sucks you in, no matter how it rotates, you will always be on your head and on your feet, so naturally you will not be thrown out."
"Because the earth is too big and human beings are too small, just like you are walking with an ant in your hand, but the ant cannot sense that you are walking, so we cannot sense that the earth is moving, but the wind can be sensed and the clouds can sense it. , mountains and rivers can be sensed, so there will be strong winds, overflowing seas, and earthquakes."
"The sun evaporates water and turns into air, the air gathers into clouds, and the clouds gather into rain. The clouds are also divided into male and female, and when touched they become thunder... All phenomena in the world can be traced, as long as we can see with our eyes and use our ears. Listen, use your brain to think, and use your body to practice, and you will find the answer.”
…
The spring breeze blowing on the face was originally warm, but now all the students present felt that the spring breeze seemed to be slapping their ears, silently telling their traces, and showing their lives to them.
Yes! If the earth had not rotated, the world would have been stationary. How did this wind come about?
At this time, some students were unconsciously thinking with new thinking, and the conclusions they reached made them tremble. It was as if they had cleared away the fog that had been blocking their eyes, as if they had opened their eyes to see clearly for the first time. In the world in front of them, some people's faces turned red, some were crying with joy, and some were slumped on the ground.
Wang Zhi's ground-breaking words had a huge impact on them. Whether it was Taoism or Buddhism, there were many unexplainable things in their system theories. They attributed these unexplainable things to gods and gods. Destiny.
Now that all this has been explained, are there still these gods and Buddhas all over the sky...
Although they read the books of Confucian sages and sages, and did not talk about strange powers and chaotic gods, Confucianism could not explain the various things in the world. They were born in a feudal society, and all their knowledge from childhood to adulthood made them naturally accept their destiny and worship gods and Buddhas. I believed in reincarnation, but now I suddenly heard that it was all fake...
If you hear the Tao in the morning, you will die in the evening.
Seeing everyone in the audience dumbfounded and shocked, Wang Zhi became more and more enthusiastic as he spoke. He enjoyed the ignorance of others the most, which made him appear to be very smart. He wanted to continue to popularize science, but was pulled down by Fatty Xu who was sitting cross-legged behind him. horn.
Wang Zhi turned back to look at him, only to see that his face was full of fear, and he said with a slight cry: "Aba, please stop talking, I'm afraid..."
"What are you afraid of!"
"I'm afraid everything you said is true..."
"Fool, this is... true!"
"me…"
Xu Shuwei became even more frightened when he heard this. His mouth trembled for a long time but he didn't say a word, but he was really about to cry.
"Okay, okay, no more talking." Wang Zhi patted his hand and consoled him.
Wang Zhi stopped talking, but the four people in the house opposite could not sit still. Under the leadership of Chen Dong, they all stood up and bowed deeply to Wang Zhi and the four people.
Wang Zhi and the four others did not dare to express their gratitude and quickly stood up to return the courtesy.
Chen Dong did not stand up, but just raised his head and said in a sincere voice, "We have been studying the books of sages for more than ten years, and we feel that we have understood all the truths in the world. Today, when I suddenly heard what Brother Wang said, I suddenly felt that the world is infinite. We are short-sighted. Today Regardless of whether it is true or not, it is inevitable for Brother Wang to establish a new school. The four of us have admitted defeat in today's discussion of the Dharma. We should have left here, but we still have questions in our hearts. I hope Brother Wang will not hesitate to give me some advice."
Wang Zhi stretched out his hand and said, "I dare not give you any advice. My classmates and I should learn from each other and make progress together. Please sit down, four of you. If you have any questions, please let me know."
The eight people sat down again, and Chen Dong said: "One more thing, Brother Wang once said that Liu Xuezheng doesn't know why people get old, sick, and die, where they come from, and where they go. I think Brother Wang must have some insights in his new study."
After speaking, he hurriedly added: "Uh...Brother Wang, please don't misunderstand me. I am not asking this to embarrass Brother Wang. We have already admitted defeat in today's discussion of the law. We are just asking this question because we are eager to know. If Brother Wang is inconvenient to answer, we Now I’ll say goodbye and leave.”
Wang Zhi suddenly likes this "Ghost Sees Sorrow". Although he is reckless, he is brave and resourceful. Although he is sincere, he does not accept death. He will stand up for the saints in his heart and will not hesitate to die for the people of the world. , he has justice in his heart and is not afraid of power. As long as he can recognize Xin Xue, it will be Xin Xue's sharpest knife.
After all, this person has never spared his life.
I need to convince you this time. Wang Zhi thought in his mind and said: "Brother Chen, there is no need. My new learning is to follow the rules and be on target. Since I have said it, it is natural that I have my support. It is a reserved act. I, the scholar, disdain to do it.”
Seeing Wang Zhi's righteous and awe-inspiring look, Chen Yuyi and the others were speechless. This act of self-reservation, to put it simply, is just a matter of pretentiousness. So you, the king of pretentiousness, haven't done enough?
If it weren't for the large number of people inside and outside the venue, the three of them would have pressed on to have a go at it.
