Chapter 116 The Bible!
Everyone looked puzzled. The Heavenly Book...
What can be called the Book of Heaven?
Wang Meng held a tray in both hands. The tray was covered with a red cloth, making it impossible to see what was inside.
Wang Meng looked at King Huainan inquiringly, and Chen Zhan nodded slightly.
brush!
Wang Meng tore open the red cloth, and a book appeared clearly.
This book is different from the bamboo slips of the Great Chu. It is a thick book with a solemn and dignified style.
The cover may be inlaid with gems, and the edges of the pages may be gold-plated, showing its nobility. On the cover, there are a few incomprehensible Western words.
The Bible!
No one else understood what he meant, but Chen Changan's eyes were dull.
He had seen this book before. It was something that two Westerners, Alex and Limadou, treasured in their previous life.
The book is here, but are they here?
Chen Changan looked around for it, but Chen Zhan held the book and handed it to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, please take a look. This is a book obtained by the Zhennan Army. It is probably from a small barbarian country."
"This small country is located in a remote area and cannot be compared with our vast land and abundant resources. Your Majesty, please take a look."
The emperor was naturally curious and took the book to read it.
Xiang Yingyu also stretched out her little head curiously.
They couldn't understand the densely packed words that looked like tadpoles, but they could see the illustrations clearly.
The first thing that comes into view is a "person" with a halo on his head, creating images of the sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers, birds and beasts.
The light is brilliant and surrounded by mysterious clouds.
Further ahead, you will see a beautiful garden with colorful flowers and green grass.
There are two special trees in the center, a man and a woman, doing naughty things, and many animals are watching around.
Seriously, it's like... a pornographic picture!
Xiang Yingyu's eyes lit up, and she whispered to the emperor: "Ah, I know this trick, it's called entering from behind... It's mentioned in Jin Ping Mei!"
Snapped!
The emperor closed the book and looked at Xiang Yingyou angrily.
Fortunately, Xiang Yingyu didn't speak loudly, otherwise it would be embarrassing.
The emperor was still a little annoyed: "Humph, the barbarians have no sense of shame and use it to promote such filthy things."
"King Huainan, where did you get this book?"
Chen Zhan quickly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the Zhennan Army was training in the sea and found two merchants asking for help. They rescued them and this book was found on them."
King Huainan obviously didn't care how he got the book, but just gritted his teeth and looked at Chen Changan.
"The Zhennan Army is in charge of the sea area to Ying Island. I guess these two are from their country."
"Of course, the Imperial College Competition is not about these things. As long as you can explain the origin of this book and any of the contents recorded in it, you will win!"
The emperor frowned slightly and looked at Chen Changan worriedly.
Seeing Chen Chang'an looking around as if looking for someone, the emperor sighed softly.
The text of this book is very obscure. I have never seen it in my entire life. Can I still count on Chen Changan?
Seeing that Chen Changan didn't say anything, Luo Qianfan sneered at Zhu Zigeng and said, "Old Pig, isn't your Institute of Engineering very powerful? Come on, tell me about it!"
"I tell you, the last is always the last. You have to recognize the situation!"
Zhu Zigeng was also full of disappointment, and said in a deep voice: "I don't know him, but who among the people present knows him?"
"Deputy Dean Luo, you relied on the King of Huainan to suppress me. You have brought shame to the Imperial Academy!"
Luo Qianfan blushed: "Zhu Zigeng, watch your tone! You dare to ridicule me like this, I think you have reached the limit of your position as dean!"
"you!"
"What are you arguing about?" The emperor snorted impatiently.
"There must be many things in the world that the Chu people have never seen. It doesn't matter if you can't recognize them. My great Chu is like the rising sun in the east. How can it be a group of bickering people?"
"Stop talking. Since Chang'an doesn't recognize this book, I declare..."
Just as the emperor was about to announce that King Huainan had won, Chen Changan raised his hand in confusion.
"Your Majesty, I recognize you!"
Wow!
Not to mention the emperor, everyone looked at Chen Changan in surprise!
He knows, he knows?
That is a heavenly book, written in the language of hell. How could Chen Changan possibly understand it?
Chen Zhan naturally didn’t believe it either!
"Fool, shut up!" Chen Zhan gritted his teeth and said angrily.
"This is in front of the Emperor. You are pretending to know me just to win. This is a crime of deceiving the Emperor. You will be punished with the death of all nine generations of your clan!"
"You are seeking death yourself, don't involve me!"
The emperor moved his lips and shook his head slightly.
When Chen Changan said that he knew him, the emperor was indeed a little excited, but how could he know!
The King of Huainan was right, the criminal had deceived the emperor!
Chen Changan shook his head calmly: "You are really interesting. Even if I am guilty of deceiving the emperor, it is my own business. How can it implicate you?"
"What's more, I actually know this book and have read it for a year. I'm sure!"
Chen Changan repeated it again, and everyone believed it.
He stared at Chen Changan without blinking. He asked, "You know this kind of book?"
real or fake?
Luo Qianfan sneered: "Did you all see that? The top scholar didn't even think before he told a lie!"
"The King of Huainan just said that he got this book a few days ago. How come the number one scholar took a whole year to read it?"
"Chen Changan, the crime of deceiving the emperor is enough to kill you!"
Chen Changan shook his head. There was no way to explain rebirth to them.
He evaded the point: "Vice President Luo, I said I read a book, but it's not necessarily this book. Why are you so anxious to sentence me to death?"
"Your Majesty, I have actually read this book and I know what it means."
"Just let me speak for the students?"
Chen Changan was so confident that even the emperor couldn't make up his mind.
Can Chen Changan understand this kind of text?
"King Huainan just said that this book came from Ying Island, which is actually wrong."
"Yingdao is a tiny country, and all the culture they learned was passed down from the Great Chu. They don't have such ability."
"Think about it carefully. If there is a country called Yingdao overseas, then how can there be no countries to the north, south, and east of it?"
Everyone nodded; they had all thought about this issue.
Chen Changan continued, "I have two friends who told me that Ying Island was built on the Pacific Ocean."
"If you follow the ocean current all the way south, you will enter the Indian Ocean. To the west is the Atlantic Ocean... Oh, and there is also the Arctic Ocean which is covered with ice and snow all year round."
"My friend said that the world is divided into seven major plates, called the seven continents."
"As the saying goes, Asia, Africa, North, South, Antarctica, Europe, the smallest is Oceania, that's what I'm talking about."
Really, everyone was confused!
Chen Changan spoke the Chu dialect, which they could all understand, but they didn't understand his meaning!
What about Asia, Africa, North and South...this seems like a heavenly book!
The emperor's brows were filled with joy. He raised his head and said, "Chang'an, have you... been there?"
