Ch 92: The Great Scholar Of The Book Sect
“Forget it, forget it.”
Li Hanzhou helplessly said, “Consider me unlucky.”
After speaking, Li Hanzhou was about to leave, but at this moment, the Sect Master of the Profound Gate grabbed Li Hanzhou’s arm.
“What?” Li Hanzhou turned around, surprised, and looked at him.
“So why is it? Why did the thing fall to the ground instead of floating in the sky?” The Sect Master of the Profound Gate looked at Li Hanzhou with a longing gaze, and even the disciples behind him were looking at Li Hanzhou expectantly.
This question, which sounds very absurd, really felt like a joke when first heard, but upon closer thought, one finds that it may contain great knowledge.
“Forget it.”
Seeing their curious looks, Li Hanzhou had to explain to them, “Universal gravitation.”
“Universal gravitation?” The Sect Master of the Profound Gate heard these four words, and there was confusion in his gaze.
“In the world we live in, there is a force called gravity, which attracts us to stand on the ground, so all things will fall to the ground, rather than float up.” Li Hanzhou explained to everyone.
“That’s not right.” A disciple immediately raised an objection: “Willow catkins float in the air, and birds fly in the sky.”
“This force naturally has an intensity. Birds use their wings to counteract gravity and fly into the sky, but if they don’t flap their wings, wouldn’t they fall down? Moreover, the weight of willow catkins themselves is very light, relying on the power of the wind to float, and the final destination of willow catkins is still to fall to the ground, isn’t it?” Li Hanzhou earnestly explained to everyone.
“This…”
Everyone was instantly speechless.
“You… how did you discover this problem?” The Sect Master of the Profound Gate was so excited that his whole body trembled.
“I…” Li Hanzhou was just about to say that a man named Newton proposed it, but fearing that the Sect Master of the Profound Gate would ask who Newton was, causing trouble, Li Hanzhou could only say, “One day I was sleeping under a tree, and a durian fell on my head, so I thought about this problem. Can I go now?”
Hearing this, the Sect Master of the Profound Gate excitedly said, “Just because a durian fell on your head, you could think of universal gravitation. Are you perhaps the chosen one of my Profound Gate? Please accept this old man’s bow!”
After speaking, the Sect Master of the Profound Gate bowed to Li Hanzhou.
Seeing the Sect Master of the Profound Gate bow, the other disciples quickly followed suit.
“I hope that sir will join my Profound Gate and revitalize the Profound Gate!” The Sect Master of the Profound Gate said with a pleading look.
Li Hanzhou: “???”
I just came for a stroll.
What’s with me joining your Profound Gate?
“I’m not interested, goodbye.” Li Hanzhou turned to leave.
“Teacher!” Who knew the Sect Master of the Profound Gate shouted “Teacher,” then knelt down, and said excitedly, “If you don’t agree, this old man will kneel here forever.”
“Please stay, sir.” The other disciples also quickly knelt down.
“Come on, how old are you, still playing this trick?” Li Hanzhou was speechless. The Sect Master of the Profound Gate, who was so old, actually knelt down to ask him to be his teacher? Li Hanzhou never expected that he would encounter such an absurd matter while going for a walk.
Just as Li Hanzhou was about to ignore this old geezer and quickly leave this place of trouble, he heard a voice from outside, “Liu Zhennan, what are you doing? Why are you kneeling to a junior?”
Following the sound, he found that an old man was standing at the entrance of the library, but this old man was full of righteous aura, with the air of a great Confucian scholar.
He had white hair and a youthful face, giving a very impressive feeling.
In terms of style, he was a level above the Sect Master of the Profound Gate.
“It’s ridiculous. The Sect Master of the Profound Gate of Tianxuan Academy is actually kneeling to a junior here. If this gets out, won’t it shame Tianxuan Academy?” The Confucian scholar said disdainfully, “The Profound Gate is still the same as before, really useless.”
“Hahahaha!”
Behind the Confucian scholar, many disciples with the appearance of scholars were also laughing.
The Sect Master of the Profound Gate blushed, then stood up and scolded, “Capability is the priority. This gentleman’s knowledge is far above mine. What’s wrong with me kneeling down to become his disciple?”
“Him?”
A scholar disciple couldn’t help but look at Li Hanzhou.
“It only shows that your Profound Gate’s knowledge is too low.” The Confucian scholar shook his head.
“Slandering my revered teacher!” Liu Zhennan angrily said, “Hu Dongru, apologize to my revered teacher!”
Li Hanzhou was speechless. When did he become his revered teacher?
But seeing this old pedant-like old thing, Li Hanzhou was also very unhappy.
Don’t look down on anyone.
Are you amazing?
Is your white beard amazing?
“Me apologize to him?” Hu Dongru smiled and shook his head. “Don’t be silly. To get to the point, I brought my disciples here because I heard that your Profound Gate has developed a type of ink that is very easy to dry. We want some to see how good the effect is.”
“Think again!”
Liu Zhennan angrily said, “Slandering my revered teacher, and you still want our Profound Gate’s ink? Get out, we don’t have any ink for you.”
“If you don’t apologize to my revered teacher today, we won’t give your Book Gate anything our Profound Gate makes in the future.” The Sect Master of the Profound Gate angrily said.
“You old thing, you’re deliberately trying to make things difficult for us!” Hu Dongru also got angry. “Your Profound Gate is always at the bottom, you have no money, and no people. If it weren’t for our Book Gate still willing to buy some things from you, your Profound Gate disciples would all be starving. You don’t even know how to be grateful, and you turn against me because of an ignorant junior. Liu Zhennan, I think you’ve had it too good and want to pick a fight, right?”
“Wait.”
Li Hanzhou finally couldn’t listen anymore.
He, the person involved, was here, and he hadn’t said anything, yet he was inexplicably involved.
And, you old geezer, who are you calling an ignorant junior?
“The ignorant junior you’re talking about, wouldn’t that be me?” Li Hanzhou pointed at himself.
A scholar disciple behind Hu Dongru smiled and said, “This person is the Sect Master of our Book Gate. He said you’re ignorant, you don’t have to feel bad, because in front of him, everyone is ignorant.”
“Bullshit.” Liu Zhennan walked forward, stroking his beard and said, “I just can’t stand your pretentious look. You say that everyone is ignorant in front of you. Then I ask you, do you know why things fall to the ground instead of flying to the sky?”
As soon as this question came out, Hu Dongru clearly froze.
The disciples behind him also froze for a moment, then burst into laughter.
“Silly? Of course things fall to the ground. They don’t have wings, how could they fly to the sky?”
