Never would they have thought that Situ Ke would lose on the first question. Everyone was shocked, even Situ Ke stared at Lin Xiaotian in shock and asked in confusion: "Grandpa Lin, you …"
Lin Xiaotian stared at him, and said with a deep voice: "Why, are you not convinced? As a man, if you agree to lose, don't forget, you are the descendant of Situ Family, so don't lose face for your family! "
Situ Ke naturally did not dare object, and immediately bowed respectfully: "Yes, Grandpa Lin is right. This junior is willing to accept the loss, and can stay behind to clean up, but, you should be testing him now." Situ Ke said as he pointed to Ye Haochen.
According to Old Man Lin's rules just now, each person had to take three questions, so even if two people answered one of the questions wrongly, they had to stay behind to clean up, while Situ Ke's first question was wrong. Obviously, there was no need to ask the next two questions, he was definitely going to stay behind to clean up.
believed that he would not be able to answer it, and Ye Haochen this fellow was even more unable to. He knew that the Grandpa Lin had always been a strict place for people, especially in class, where he had always been extremely strict with his students.
Lin Xiaotian said to Ye Haochen: "Kid, it's your turn now, the first question, what is this?" Lin Xiaotian extended two fingers out towards Ye Haochen.
The heck, you're playing this game again? When the old fellow posed this question, the outcome of the round was entirely up to him. Ye Haochen was not happy, so he casually replied: "Two."
Everyone around them roared with laughter. Situ Ke also mocked: "He's wrong, he's wrong. These are two fingers!"
Unexpectedly, Lin Xiaotian said coldly: "Nonsense! His answer was right, this was clearly two points! Could it be that I'm so lacking in proficiency that I don't know how to adapt? To think that you are a young genius of Situ Family, how could your brain die like that! "
When he said this, not to mention Situ Ke, even he was puzzled. He didn't think that Old Man Lin was obviously helping him, and in his heart, he had started to have a better impression of Old Man Lin.
In front of Lin Xiaotian, how could he have the right to speak? He could only give a cold snort at Ye Haochen, "Hmph, don't get cocky too early, there's still two questions!"
Very quickly, Lin Xiaotian asked the second question. Lin Xiaotian then laughed and extended out two fingers towards Ye Haochen.
It was the same as before, another two fingers!
The heck, there's no end to it, right? Why was it this question again?
The surrounding people booed once again. This old man was truly strange, making people unable to fathom his thoughts, even Ye Haochen felt the same way.
Situ Ke immediately stopped her: "Wait, Grandpa Lin, I think this guy can either answer 'two fingers' or answer 'two fingers'. Even if he was fooling around, he would still get it right, it's not fair!"
Unexpectedly, Ye Haochen pondered for a moment, then said with a smile: "Who said that I would give you the two answers from before? Teacher Lin's hand gesture just now represented 'yeah!'.
With that said, the surrounding people started to discuss again. Some felt that Ye Haochen was right, and some felt that this question was just for show.
Looking at Lin Xiaotian, he was so happy that he looked like a child. He actually also reached out his hand and made another gesture with his hand, "Oh yeah! It's a success, kid. You really know how to change, that's what you mean, you got it right again! "
Situ Ke almost died from anger. Although he knew that it was unfair, he could not say anything about it, since two fingers did indeed mean a lot of things, but whether or not it was right or wrong, it was all up to Old Man Lin to judge, which was also why Situ Ke felt that it was unfair.
He was determined to not let old man Lin go easy on him on the last question. Although there was a risk of offending old man Lin, he could not afford to think too much about it.
Just as Lin Xiaotian was about to set the third test, Situ Ke hurriedly stopped him: "Wait, Grandpa Lin, I think that you are being unfair with your choice of question. You are after all, a family head of a large family, and no matter what, you are a famous Master of Chinese Studies.
With this said, the surrounding people also began to echo, "That's right, isn't this an unfair test? Although it's very interesting, we can't keep on playing like this!"
Hearing Situ Ke's words, Ye Haochen finally guessed Old Man Lin's identity. Seems like he should be an elder of the Lin Family, perhaps he might have a direct relationship with Lin Xiaoxiao.
Lin Xiaotian looked around, and seeing that everyone present was unanimous in suspecting that he was unfair in setting the question, he could only say: "Alright, your doubts are not without reason. How about this, for the sake of fairness, I will give Situ Ke another chance.
This time, the two of you will be able to answer the third question correctly, then you won't have to clean up. The ones who answered wrongly will have to stay behind to clean up the dining hall.
Situ Ke of course had no objections, he was as happy as a grandson, he anxiously expressed his agreement and the surrounding people also cheered, this way, it would be even more interesting.
Old Man Lin suddenly gave Situ Ke a chance. Although Ye Haochen's side was a bit unfair, he did not object.
Lin Xiaotian slowly said: "Haha, since people like to call us masters, then I will take the exam the two of you using the classics of China. Among the classics of Chinese national science, there is only one word that is as profound as the other word. Similarly … "This!"
Lin Xiaotian said as he stuck out a finger, causing the surrounding people to be stunned at first, before they immediately shook their heads and sighed. Everyone originally thought that this Master of State would come up with some profound theory, but no matter what he said, they couldn't wrap their fingers around it. One moment "1", the next "2", the next "eh", is it interesting?
Situ Ke could not help but say: "Grandpa Lin, didn't you just say that you want to test for knowledge in the country? Why are you being so slow?"
Lin Xiaotian coldly stared at him, and said with a sunken voice: "Who told you this, is a finger?"
Ye Haochen laughed out loud and said: "This is' Dao '!"
The moment he said this, Lin Xiaotian could not help but grin, and laughed out loud: "Hahahaha, you little rascal, you sure know how to change the situation. Right, this is' Dao ', and' Dao 'is' 1 '.
What I tested today was related to 'Dao'.
"Man and earth, heaven and earth, heaven and earth, nature and Tao, what do you two mean by this?"
Just a moment ago, Ye Haochen had stolen the limelight from him, causing Situ Ke to be unwilling to accept it. In order to reverse the situation, he hurriedly spoke first, "Grandpa Lin, I know."
Lin Xiaotian chuckled: "Then go ahead."
Situ Ke quickly said: "These words came from my 'Classic of Virtue'. The 'Classic of Virtue' is a famous and classic example of Taoism, and the Taoism is a religious school that was born and bred in China, it is widespread, has a deep roots, is a cultural level, and is passed down from generation to generation."
Hearing Situ Ke's words, the surrounding people all shook their heads, "What are you all talking about? Everyone knows about the history of Taoism, who doesn't know about the 'Classic of the Way of the Virtue'! "
"That's right. If you have the ability, say something that everyone doesn't know about!"
Old man Lin couldn't help but retort, "What you're saying is nonsense! I ask, what does that mean? Come, Ye Haochen, speak. "
Ye Haochen thought for a moment, then slowly said: "This sentence is indeed very profound. It can be explained in modern language.
The meaning of 'the law of man' is that the behavior of man is based on the earth, or rather, the life of man is governed by the laws of the earth. The sun rises and sets, and the sun goes on and on.
It means that the earth is governed by the laws of the entire universe, alternating between cold and heat, and nurturing all living things.
The "Heavenly Path" meant that the flow of the universe was governed by the laws of the Dao. The Dao was formless and soundless, born upon the earth, and circulated unceasingly.
"Tao technique is natural." This means that the operation of 'Dao' is based on the law of 'nature'. "The nature here naturally has to be solved separately, 'self' is itself, 'of course' is originally like this. The word 'nature' originally means that, it is the origin of everything, and the Tao is like this in the first place. The operation of the Great Dao follows the natural law of the universe."
It was originally an extremely profound and difficult to understand Daoist law, but he did not expect Ye Haochen to explain it so clearly, to the point that it was easy to understand. The surrounding people who did not understand the ancient words, and even more so did not understand Taoism, all heard it and understood, and could not help but nod in praise.
Lin Xiaotian laughed out loud: Not bad, not bad, this kid can be taught! Not only did he explain the profoundness of his words, he also explained them very clearly. It was truly rare!
Let me ask you again, why is the word 'Dao' '' one '? "
Ye Haochen laughed and said, "The《 Classic of the Way of the Way and the Tao》: One is born, two lives are born, three lives are born, three lives are born. All things hold the sun while all yin, and the rushing qi thinks peace.
The Dao gave birth to one; one was taiji; one was two; two was yin and yang; two was three; three was the combination of yin and yang; three was the combination of all things; and all things were everything.
"The 'one' here is a number that I used to replace the concept of 'Dao'. That is, 'Dao' is absolutely coincidental, so, the 'Dao' is' one '."
Ye Haochen's interesting explanation also caused Lin Xiaotian to continuously nod his head in praise. The people around him who didn't understand the thoughts of the Daoist were also rather impressed.
He did not expect Ye Haochen to have such a thorough understanding of the classics of the ancient kingdom, to actually make the classics of the ancient kingdom praise him.
The little girl, Fu Rong, had been standing beside Ye Haochen the entire time, and looking at her boyfriend in admiration and admiration, her heart was filled with pride and pride.
Situ Ke was so angry that his face turned green, in the end he was left to clean the mess in the cafeteria, although he was extremely unwilling, but in front of the Grandpa Lin, he did not dare be rash.
Old Man Lin laughed and said: "Release him, let Ye Haochen leave."
Soon after, Ye Haochen held Fu Rong's small hand and walked out of the canteen.
The pitiful Situ Ke half knelt on the ground and cleaned the trash on the ground.
Seeing Ye Haochen walking out of the canteen, Lin Xiaotian looked at his back, stroked his white beard, and laughed to himself: "Not bad, not bad at all!"
