The second part of the official version Chapter 20 Voyage
After more than a month of long journey, the five of us finally arrived at Shaoxing, the destination known as the Venice of the East.
Shaoxing is densely covered with rivers and lakes, with a network of waterways, and rural villages are surrounded by rivers. Many houses with white walls and black tiles are either built next to the water or stand between the rivers, forming water alleys, which are typical of "small bridges, flowing water, and people's homes". Shaoxing Water Town
The unique black-topped boats come and go, hidden among the green trees and bamboos. Jianhu Lake, East Lake, and Huancheng River are all beautiful. A literati has long described it this way - "The beauty of Shaoxing lies in the fact that the scenery is like poetry and painting, and the scenery is contained in it."
"Culture", "The mountains and rivers in the southeast are the first, and the scenery in the world is more beautiful than Kuaiji". The scenery of Shaoxing is "unique in every place, and interesting in every place."
This place has been a "land of fish and rice, a land of wealth" since ancient times, with a developed economy and prosperous people. Even in the Ming Dynasty, Shaoxing's economic strength was extremely strong, and folk wealth was very abundant. Shaoxing has produced talents in large numbers in the past dynasties, including a large number of politicians, thinkers, and writers.
, artists and scientists, such as the founding father Yu the Great, King Gou Jian of Yue, the philosopher Wang Chong of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the calligrapher Wang Xizhi of the Jin Dynasty, the poet He Zhizhang of the Tang Dynasty, the poet Lu You of the Southern Song Dynasty, the calligrapher and painter Xu Wei of the Ming Dynasty, the heroine Qiu Jin, the academic leader Cai Yuanpei, literature
The great master Lu Xun, the great men of the generation Zhou Enlai and Fan Wenlan, Ma Yinchu, Zhu Kezhen, Qian Sanqiang; and Dr. Luo Yin, one of the inventors of biological computers, etc. And the great thinker we are looking for now Wang Yangming, so this is the "hometown of celebrities".
Not an exaggeration.
As soon as we called for a awning boat, the boatman smiled at us mysteriously. Was this boatman afraid that we would not be able to pay the boat fare?
"Haha, you are scholars from other places." the boatman asked.
Scholars? Yes, aren’t we college students just scholars?
"Yes, I really have a sharp eye," I replied cheerfully.
"Then you must be here to see Mr. Yangming. Get on the boat and follow the river directly to Yangming Academy."
After the boat weighed anchor, I curiously asked the boatman: "Sir, I see you understand a lot of things. I wonder if everyone here has learned from Mr. Yangming."
When I asked him this question, the boatman shook his head repeatedly, and then said to me: "Students like you like to listen to Mr. Yangming's lectures. We rough people all like to listen to Mr. Shinzhai's stories."
"Mr. Shinsai?"
"Mr. Xinzhai's surname is Wang Gen, and he is a disciple of Yang Mingzi. In his early years, he traveled around the world, sold illegal salt, and was involved in the underworld. He was also a rough man. He didn't know Chinese characters at first, but he understood it from the bottom of his heart when he heard others read.
reason."
"So what did this gentleman realize?"
"He said that Zhu Xi was a great sage in the Song Dynasty, but now he is a great bastard. He also told us not to envy officials all day long, saying that the purpose of life is to live freely and freely. If you have a little money, you will be able to live well.
He is happier than the emperor."
"Damn, this Xinzhai doesn't want to live anymore. He's actually spreading heresy here."
"Hush! Hush! Hush!" Seeing me saying so loudly, the boatman stopped me in a hurry: "Sir, I said this because I saw that you are not like those bookworms who study books about sages. Since Mr. Yangming
Since the establishment of the school here, the common people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang have been opening up their huts. Although their masters and apprentices are sometimes crazy, everyone knows it. The reason why the capital sent people to investigate several times but did not find any evidence is that
Because everyone is secretly protecting them."
At this time, Xiaowen suddenly interjected: "I think the people of Shaoxing are indeed quite wealthy, but looking along the way, why do I feel that everyone is worried?"
Having said this, the boatman couldn't help but sigh deeply, and then said to us: "The current emperor only cares about his own Taoism and becoming an immortal, and does not care about the southeast. As a result, the southeast coast defense has been weakened and Japanese pirates are rampant. I heard that some powerful people have come from Japan recently.
We have re-armed the Japanese, and now the bandits are even more rampant. Several cities along the coast have been looted one after another. We in Shaoxing are not far from the sea to begin with, and I am afraid it will be our turn in the next wave."
"I came here to seek advice from my husband on the plan of resisting Japanese aggression."
After hearing my answer, the boatman happily patted me on the shoulder and said, "You are here at the right time. Mr. Yangming is holding a forum in the academy today to invite scholars from all over the world to hold a debate. Everyone will have the opportunity to meet Mr. face to face."
Debate, and the topic is not limited, just for understanding. Recently I have received several groups of scholars like you."
"Students like us?"
"Haha, yes, you scholars from other places are very different from the local ones. But I can't tell you what the specific difference is."
After hearing this, I probably guessed something. There are probably nearly 4,000 groups stationed in the virtual world during this internship. As the birthplace of biocomputer technology, the number of groups in China will probably not be less than three digits. If they are all like us
If we divide the Northern School and the Southern School equally, there are probably thousands of people coming to the South. With Wang Yangming's famous name, if he holds a debate conference for scholars all over the world, I am afraid it will attract many practitioners...
While talking, the boat had already sailed into a section of the river full of willows, and a large antique courtyard could be vaguely seen in front of it. There were bursts of noise in the courtyard, which was very lively. It must have been the destination.
When we got off the boat, we found that the academy was already crowded with people inside and outside. As expected, many of them were people I had met not long ago.
At this time, a fierce argument between an old man and a woman came from the center of the compound, while the audience around him sometimes laughed and sometimes applauded, but this made it difficult for me to hear clearly what was being said.
We squeezed in hard and barely heard the content of the debate. But after listening carefully, we felt that the two voices were so familiar. But when I looked up, I could only vaguely see the old man, and
The woman was covered by countless heads.
The woman was heard asking the old man loudly: "Mr. Yangming preaches about conscience all day long, but now the world is in a critical situation, and the situation is hanging upside down. Why are you still here watching indifferently and living a leisurely life? If you know but don't act, where is your conscience?"
.”
Hearing these words, Mr. Yangming, who was sitting high on the Grand Master's chair, did not get angry. Instead, he twirled his pale goat's beard and smiled, and then replied: "I may not be able to change the situation in the world by myself."
.
"But Mr. Zhongli has recently passed away. Among the older generation of sages, you are the only one still alive in the world. If you don't step forward, who else can we expect to step forward?" The woman became more and more excited as she spoke, but when she mentioned Mr. Zhongli, the people around her suddenly
She was confused and seemed to have no idea what she was talking about. In fact, I didn’t know where this scholar named Zhongli came from during the Jiajing period.
"Girl, as you said, I am already a member of the older generation...that is to say, I am already old. I didn't expect that Zhongli is more talented than me, but he can't escape the laws of nature. When encountering such a thing, I will also
It is inevitable that the rabbit will die and the fox will be sad."
"Everyone here knows that Mr. has three major theories in his life - conscience, conscience and the unity of knowledge and action. There is no need to explain what conscience is. So, sir, can you explain to the little girl the essence of your theory of the unity of knowledge and action?"
"My theory is only to oppose the prophet proposed by Zhu Xi (Zhu Xi) two hundred years ago before acting. Knowing means understanding the truth, and acting means actually doing it. Although Zhu Zi still advocates acting, knowing and then acting has achieved so much
A guy who talks about truth and morality, but secretly works hard..." At this point, Mr. Yangming suddenly stopped talking. It seemed that he found that he had fallen into that woman's trap, but now it was too late.
"Ignorance is a fool, knowing but not doing is a villain, knowing and then acting is a fake Taoism and a hypocrite. Knowing that the world is in danger but unwilling to take action, but not denying that he will think about the common people in the world...what does this mean?
.”
As soon as the woman said this, many students in the audience started talking.
"This woman is really mean and mean. I wonder which school she is from?"
"That's a bit mean, but we are here to ask Mr. Shouren to come out. I heard that in history, Wang Shouren (Yang Ming's nickname, Shouren's name) was a general who led troops in wars when he was young.
Later, he became the Minister of the Ministry of War for his military merit. A few years ago, he led the troops to put down the rebellion of the Miao people in Guangxi. He is a very remarkable person. I heard that contestants from South Korea, Japan, Europe and the United States are now taking action. We can't lag behind.
.”
"Command: 96 Intelligence: 100 Armed Forces: 90 Politics: 98 Fame: 500,000, it is simply the perfect five wards. If Mr. refuses to serve the world, it will contradict the theory of the unity of knowledge and action that he preaches..."
"Haha, sir, it's hard to get off the tiger."
"Actually, everyone is gathered here to see if Mr. Yang Ming is the mysterious Chinese leader mentioned by Taiyi Company. If so, we hope that he can elect a leader to lead our southern faction."
When everyone was talking lively, Mr. Yangming finally spoke, and he said to the woman: "The girl is very eloquent, but you should save these topics for talking to my energetic student." Mr. Yangming said one after another.
After that, people in the audience started talking about it.
"Is it possible that Mr. Yang Ming's eldest disciple, Mr. Shinsai, is going to take action?"
"I heard that Mr. Shinzhai is a madman, maybe he can suppress this girl's arrogance."
Mr. Shinzhai...could he be the madman Wang Gen that the boatman mentioned? I don’t know what his measurements are. Thinking of this, I propped up my head on the shoulders of Xiaozhu and Xiaoma, and stretched my neck as far as I could.
, wanted to see clearly, then Mr. Yangming said slowly: "The one with the long neck, come here."
Is Mr. Shinsai the one who stretched his neck so long? So I stretched my neck again, stood up and looked around, but after looking for a long time, I didn't see anyone with his neck stretched so long.
Where are people?
"Look, look, it's you I'm talking about."
As soon as Mr. Yangming finished speaking, I noticed that everyone's eyes were on me. These people are weird, and I'm not handsome, so there's nothing good about them. I don't care about them, I'd better look at that thing.
Sir, maybe he is a hidden figure.
Seeing that I was still looking around, Brother Ma finally couldn't help but said: "Ah Shi, I seem to be talking about you."
"Me?" I pointed at myself in surprise... Before I finished speaking, the people on the left and right suddenly retreated to both sides like a tide, leaving a wide passage. In the center of this passage, only Brother Ma was left.
, Piggy and me riding on them. When those two guys realized that the situation was not good, they suddenly threw me to the ground and both got into the crowd. Damn it! A bunch of unloyal guys.
I got up from the ground in embarrassment, causing a burst of laughter from all around. After I raised my hand to show that I was intact, I looked up at the stage. Sure enough, the old boy was really staring at me. But that's not the case.
It is ruled out that he stared at me because he saw me making a fool of myself.
"Is this your disciple?" the woman asked in surprise. When I saw her face clearly, I was even more surprised than her.
"Meijuan?" I said with a trembling voice.
She was stunned for a moment, then looked at Mr. Wang. After seeing Mr. Wang nod slightly, Meijuan calmly answered me: "It's me." So, I walked up to the podium involuntarily.
"Didn't you go north with Dong Dongbao and the others?" I asked.
“I heard about Mr. Yangming’s forum on the way, so I came here overnight.”
"Then your plan..."
"What's the plan?"
"Disciple, you are really capable. As soon as you came on stage, you established a relationship with the person you were about to debate. Could it be that... you are old friends?" The old man's words not only interrupted the question and answer session between Meijuan and I, but also attracted the attention of the audience.
The next burst of laughter.
Disciple? To be honest, this was the first time I met this old man. How could he call me his disciple casually? But before I could say anything, the old man carried me to the backstage of the forum like a chicken.
.
After throwing me to the ground, the old man said to me: "Copper, please give me a face today." When I heard this, my first reaction was to almost faint to death, and my second reaction was to wake up and beat him.
After a meal, I don’t need to introduce you to who this old man is.
"Copper, I know you want to beat me up, and now you have become the spokesperson of the Great Demon King and are wanted by the Taiyi Empire. But isn't it a blessing in disguise that you have become a rich man now? You have to thank me for this, if you didn't know that you are the Great Demon King
Spokesperson, how could that guy Zhongli choose you?"
"Are you talking about the King of the Demon Realm?"
"Then what else is going on?"
"I despise you. I am now a puppet of the demon group. Those demon kings are like wolves and tigers. They want to eat me alive."
"I think you will definitely not be a puppet for the rest of your life."
When the old man said this, I became proud and said without humility: "Of course, from now on I will not only become the richest man, but also build a big harem."
"Haha...as long as you are brave, you can achieve anything."
At this time, I suddenly remembered a question in my mind, and I raised it directly to the old man who knows everything about this virtual world: "By the way, since I came in, I have been wondering what technology Chaos uses to simulate this virtual world so that it really looks the same.
How can he guarantee that these fictional historical figures are as talented as the people they imitate? For example, Qi Jiguang, can he guarantee that he has the military talent of the real Qi Jiguang? It can simulate ordinary intelligence, but can it also simulate a hero?
intelligence?"
"Hey, there are so many question marks. It doesn't hurt to tell you this." After stroking his beard, the old man asked me: "Can you tell me what technology our biological computer is mainly made of?"
"Well, everyone on earth knows that it is a combination of network technology and biotechnology."
"Tell me specifically what this biotechnology refers to."
"Specifically...if what the textbook says is correct, it should be DNA technology."
"Haha, this is the key. Since biological computers are made with DNA technology, can we use DNA technology to resurrect ancient heroes in large numbers, and then put them into this virtual world to let them..."
"Ah!" After hearing this, I already understood about 70% or 80% of the time, but the result was a big surprise.
"This is a great technology. Not only is it great for the Taiyi Group, but it is also an epoch-making breakthrough from the perspective of mankind as a whole. And I can also tell you that in this world, you can not only encounter the most powerful people of this era,
characters, you can also meet some heroes from past eras.”
"How can we still meet Zhuge Kongming, Genghis Khan, and Yue Wumu..."
"Not only can you meet Julius Caesar, Octavian, and Robin Hood, but you can also talk face to face with Plato, Leonardo da Vinci, and even the great Buddha. Of course, you may not necessarily meet people with the same names as them here, but they
It will show up in another way.”
I think everyone will be excited to hear such news. Hahaha, it seems that I am not just competing with tens of thousands of students from the real world in this world.
"I never thought that Taiyi would open up such a world for us to practice."
"Hey, actually you are also part of the Taiyi Experimental Plan. But you should still cherish this opportunity to train yourself. Although you have made a lot of progress, you still have a long way to go before you want to become a true king of warriors.
." As he was talking, the old man suddenly changed the topic and said to me: "Don't go that far. You probably came to Shaoxing this time to ask Wang Yangming in history to help fight against Japanese pirates. But I'm afraid you don't know that yet.
In order to help their students win the championship, governments of various countries hire a big shot of their own nation with a high salary to pretend to be a famous historical figure and enter the world to guide the students. Of course, the stronger the country, the more capable the instructors it hires.
And many of them are great heroes in the Taiyi World Hero List. So although I am just playing this role here, I can help you with this matter, but you have to do me a favor first."
I didn't expect that the great heroes would also get involved in this matter. But it makes sense when you think about it. During the nearly one hundred years of peace, the major countries really want to find a platform to show off their own strength, and this one is completely based on the real world.
The virtual world is indeed a very good platform.
"Copper plate, what do you think? This is a fair deal. I can make your group easily stand out among hundreds of Chinese groups..."
"I understand. You just want me to have a few rounds of talking with that girl outside. I can agree to that. But I don't understand what she is talking about about going out to save the world. How do you want me to talk to her?
Speak."
When I asked this question, the old man's brows also wrinkled, and he seemed to be in a bit of trouble. After thinking for a moment, he patted my shoulder and said, "I'm still not good at what she asked me to do."
I'll reveal it to you. But just now I fell into the trap she set and couldn't explain myself. But I still have to guide me in this world, so I can only count on you. She is actually a very good girl, but sometimes she likes to go to extremes.
...Anyway, I am optimistic about your ability to break down the truth."
"Trying to make excuses? This is too ugly."
"I want to hear something nice... By the way, in modern times this is called a debate, in ancient times it was called a war of words." As he said that, the old man pushed me out.
