Luo Changshan saw clearly that Zhang Yan was indeed not a cunning person, but he was not a pure and honest person either. Not to mention doing things without expecting anything in return, but trying to make every decision you make worthwhile.
"Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" is nothing to Zhang Yan, but just like the previous Bagua Array, Kongming Lantern and Pulley, it is definitely something remarkable when placed in the wilderness. It is fully qualified to be called a "masterpiece".
The "Pythagorean Principle" that Zhang Yan singled out and told to Luo Changshan is also a very important article. With Zhang Yan's character, would he be able to show it off so easily? Of course not, the purpose is to take a long-term view to catch the big fish, and at the same time to show his "real talent and practical knowledge" to make Luo Changshan his "evidence". Then, when others question his identity as a miscellaneous scholar, Luo Changshan will be able to refute them.
When the false is true, the true is also false; conversely, when the true is false, the false is also true. A truth.
What's more, the knowledge that Zhang Yan brought out was all real stuff, but it didn't belong to the Huangtian Realm, but came from the sages on the earth. Strictly speaking, this is true. It's just that Zhang Yan's identity is a bit false.
Of course, I had never heard of Luo Changshan’s name, Zhang Yan, before. But after yesterday's discussion, he had a clear idea. Because knowledge cannot be deceived, nor can it be stolen or snatched, not to mention that knowledge of the miscellaneous lineage is non-mainstream in the wilderness, and its accumulation and inheritance are more troublesome and niche compared to the mainstream. A simple chicken and rabbit in the same cage question can clearly test the truth and falsehood.
As for other things, the future is long. As long as Luo Changshan is available, Zhang Yan's reputation will soon be in the miscellany school.
"But with Mr. Zhang's display of skills, aren't you worried about being coveted and getting into trouble?" Luo Changshan didn't believe that Zhang Yan didn't have a disciple, nor did he believe that Zhang Yan didn't know the rules of "hiding in the market" from the miscellaneous school lineage. Otherwise, before something happened to him, Why doesn’t Zhang Yan show any landscape at all? The strange thing is that after the accident, Zhang Yan seemed to be out of control, as if he had no idea of hiding again. This is contrary to the usual practice in the miscellaneous academic circles.
Zhang Yan had already prepared his words for this. He didn't want to stay in the mountains and be a hermit like those in the miscellany lineage. What's wrong with reading all the fireworks in the world?
"Senior, Zhang Yan used to be content with the market and never showed anything. But later he discovered that applying what he learned is the foundation of what he learned. Otherwise, things in the world will inevitably go unsatisfactory. Once a disaster comes, will you just watch or stare and wait for death? So now Only then can you use what you have learned to save yourself and others.”
This sounds like a big statement, a bit self-proclaimed. But if you look carefully, you can see that every word Zhang Yan said was true. He really saved both himself and others.
Let’s not talk about how many lives of soldiers on Yubei Mountain can be saved by the Bagua array and the Kongming lantern. Let’s talk about the wheelchair shop opened by the Zhang family in Langyuan City. How many people with handicapped legs and feet can be helped to regain their confidence in life? Moreover, once this thing comes out, it will not be useful within a year or two, but people will remember it for hundreds of thousands of years. Although no one may remember who was the first person to create a wheelchair by then, the wheelchair itself will never disappear due to time.
In this way, Zhang Yan’s words of “applying what he has learned” are not empty words.
Without waiting for Luo Changshan to answer, Zhang Yan continued: "It is true that the Xue Xue lineage encountered a lot of difficulties and crises in the early years. Later, it is not surprising that people were bitten by snakes and were afraid of well ropes for ten years. But people have to look forward. Useful things will always be useful. When more people use it, it’s hard to say whether it will become mainstream.”
Zhang Yan naturally did a lot of research to take advantage of the miscellaneous studies. At least the historical origins of the miscellaneous studies were recorded in basic history books.
But then was before and now is now. Zhang Yan didn't expect that just by relying on his few words, he could change the style of the miscellaneous academic circle. He just found an excuse for himself: "I used to be quiet, but now I am showing off." Put this matter to rest.
Luo Changshan still wanted to persuade him. After all, he was someone who had come before him and was a senior. Although he called Zhang Yan "sir", it was only out of respect for the other person's knowledge. It did not mean that he also agreed with the other person's high-profile style. Even if these remarks sound reasonable. Because the miscellany lineage has learned lessons with countless blood before.
But when the words came to his lips, Luo Changshan paused again, and his heart felt ripples. In an instant, he realized that the person in front of him was different from the people of the Zaxue lineage that he had always come into contact with. I really can't believe that I can practice what he said about "applying what I have learned" without worrying about being coveted and causing trouble.
So Luo Changshan swallowed the words that came to his lips, but another sentence popped up: "Mr. Zhang, are you so confident in your alchemy method?"
That's right, it's the method of alchemy. This is also the biggest difference between the Zhang Yan that Luo Changshan knows and the Zaxue lineage that he knows. As for the bone-strengthening pill that he saw with his own eyes from Shi Xuan, Zhang Yan's method is absolutely attractive to warriors, especially those with high cultivation levels. It can even be said to be a means that can change the practice pattern of warriors.
There are too many doorways here. There are big risks, but there are also big opportunities. It all depends on Zhang Yan himself. If you advance and retreat correctly, you really have a chance to stand firm and stand firm. At that time, "applying what you have learned" will really be implemented without any constraints.
Of course, this is just a possibility. Luo Changshan didn't dare to draw conclusions about the final outcome.
As soon as Luo Changshan's words came out, it was Zhang Yan's turn to be a little dumbfounded.
What's the meaning? Listening to Luo Changshan's words, he also knows a lot about alchemy! He originally thought that Luo Changshan didn't know what "alchemy" was. Even if his mother Wang Lanping talked about it yesterday, she would only guess in her heart and not understand the root cause. But now listening to the other party’s meaning, not only does he know what “alchemy” is, but also other things? And based on this, it is inferred that Zhang Yan has the confidence to "apply what he has learned"?
Not to mention, Luo Changshan's guess was partly correct. The elixir is really the stepping stone that Zhang Yan plans to use to establish himself. But not all, and not the highlight. Zhang Yan is very aware of this fact that the foundation of his life depends on his fists. He was curious about where Luo Changshan got the information about alchemy.
"Senior seems to know a lot about the art of alchemy? Have you seen it elsewhere?"
"Hahaha, Mr. Zhang is joking. I have lived for more than seventy years, and apart from the Bone Strengthening Pill, I have never seen any other rare treasures of the same kind. I guess this must be a secret that is not passed down by Mr. Zhang?"
