Chapter 55 Characters
Chapter 55 Characters
"What is the age of adulthood for each of your races?"
Li Mosi was very curious about the issue of different races.
If this continues, I'm afraid not every race will be able to develop its own unique medical system.
Zi'an scratched his head: "I'm already an adult, I'm a grown-up."
Otherwise, why would you leave home?
Zi Yi looked up at Zi An and said, "I'm an adult now too."
"..."
have to.
You asked for nothing.
In this era, people are considered adults once they look roughly the same age.
The judgment of adults by [Leshan Shui] is clearly closer to Li Mosi's thoughts.
According to the algorithm before he time-traveled, he wasn't even an adult yet.
Apart from the old goblin, none of you here are adults.
Li Mosi stopped dwelling on the issue: "Anyway, according to human development, you still have a lot to learn and need to continue to work hard."
"Go practice your pinyin first."
"Yes, Master." *2
Watching his two disciples walk to the table and practice pronunciation using a phonetic chart, Li Mosi glanced at the ever-expressionless old goblin and the saintess with a smile playing on her lips.
He unfolded two new sheets of paper and recalled the contents of the Thousand Character Classic.
This is a fairly suitable introductory teaching material.
In addition to literacy, it can also instill some basic worldview and knowledge.
The saintess gently shook her head at the back of Li Mosi's head.
So the craftsman didn't know anything about bear-beastmen and goblins?
That's rather unusual.
Among the elite light-protecting warriors she had seen, many were naturally powerful races like bear-orcs.
This should be considered common sense.
If he had received the education of a born saint, he should not be unaware of this.
The current situation...
The saint walked to Li Mosi's side: "Did you know these characters from birth?"
She still felt that the craftsman in front of her was more likely a born saint.
"Sigh." Li Mosi couldn't help but sigh, glancing sideways at Haji Saint. "How could I possibly know all this from birth? I studied for many years to learn this knowledge, okay?"
Unless it's a time-travel or reincarnation novel...
and many more.
Is this holy woman looking for someone like a reincarnated living Buddha?
This does align with religion.
Suddenly, memories flooded back to Li Mosi's mind.
"The appearance of saints does not begin in the mother's womb; they are known to the God of Light long before they are born. They are already saints of the God of Light even before birth. They have been sent down by the God of Light to guide us forward."
"You have received many gifts from the saints, and that is why you know these things."
"The gifts bestowed by the saint on behalf of the God of Light will remain forever in your hearts. If you do not follow the precepts of these gifts, they will naturally teach you a lesson..."
These were the words spoken by the original owner of this body while sitting in the church, listening to the pastor of the Church of Light.
According to the rules of the manor, they had to go to church every seven mornings to listen to the pastor's sermon.
Then donate the money.
Based on the original owner's memories and Li Mosi's knowledge, he always felt that the priest named "Kata" was somewhat lazy.
But none of this matters.
The important question is—is this saintess searching for a saint?
Finding this place seems to have made me a laughing stock.
"Zwan said you can tell lies, so you should be able to tell that I'm not lying."
Li Mosi glanced helplessly at Haji Saint, then turned around and began to write the Thousand Character Classic from memory.
Yes... he wasn't lying.
The saintess was somewhat disappointed.
Although "discerning lies" is a divine skill bestowed upon the saintess by the God of Light, she cannot use it due to the loss of contact.
Having used it for so long, she could roughly figure it out just by intuition.
The craftsman in front of her had always appeared completely open and honest since their first meeting, and she couldn't detect anything wrong with him.
Who exactly is this craftsman in front of us?
She then focused her gaze on Li Mosi's hands.
Heaven and earth are dark yellow, the universe is prehistoric.
The sun and moon wax and wane, the stars and constellations are arrayed in the sky...
Amidst the somewhat awkward reading aloud of her two disciples, Li Mosi skillfully wrote out each Chinese character.
As she watched the elegant yet clear square characters under his hand, another possibility came to the saintess's mind.
But this was something that had never happened before, and it was even more impossible than the other party being a born saint and the other party lying to her!
She opened her mouth, but didn't dare to say anything.
Li Mosi quickly recited the Thousand Character Classic twice and then spent some time marking the pinyin and tones.
Preparing teaching materials yourself is quite tiring.
However, the Thousand Character Classic plus the "Pinyin Table" was enough for the two disciples to study for a period of time.
"Move aside, Ziyi, Zian, come here."
Li Mosi patted the saintess and then beckoned her two disciples to her sides.
"This is called the Thousand Character Classic, an article composed of one thousand characters, and it is what you will be learning next."
Zi Yi nodded: "Okay."
Zi'an looked troubled: "Master, we haven't finished learning pinyin yet."
Just seeing that long, flowing string of characters made them feel dizzy.
"I know."
How could Li Mosi have forgotten about the educational progress?
This is just the beginning.
He said, "This article, composed of a thousand characters, is not just about memorizing these thousand characters; it also contains knowledge about the sky, the earth, management, interpersonal relationships, past events, farming, and more."
"Today you don't need to repeat after me, just listen to me read and then listen to the knowledge contained within."
He planned to establish basic knowledge for his two disciples before they finished learning pinyin.
When the time comes, let them read along with the pinyin, and they will gradually be able to connect the knowledge with the words.
"Okay, that's good."
Zi'an breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.
After correcting the attitudes of her two disciples, Li Mosi began teaching.
"The article, composed of a thousand characters, is divided into four parts. Today, I will teach you the knowledge in the first paragraph. This is the shortest paragraph, which contains the birth of the world, the laws of nature, the early history of the nation, and what the peaceful era of life looked like."
The saintess immediately perked up her ears.
"Heaven and earth were dark and yellow, the universe vast and boundless. The sky was dark blue, the earth was yellow. The world existed in a boundless environment. The sun and moon waxed and waned, the stars and constellations were arrayed..."
The first three sentences are an introduction to the world.
Although Ziyi and Zian did not understand the first sentence, the second and third sentences were in line with their common sense.
But starting from the fourth sentence, they entered a completely unfamiliar territory.
"Leap years are completed, and musical scales are adjusted to suit the seasons. In calendars that subdivide the four seasons, the excess accumulated over several years is combined into a single leap year to conform to the cyclical nature of the seasons. The ancients used tools such as 'musical pitch pipes' and 'musical scales' to observe the changes of the seasons and adjust the specific calendar accordingly."
After saying this, he looked at his two disciples.
They looked blank and dazed.
Where he couldn't see, the saintess also looked dazed.
Isn't the calendar governed by the God of Light, with each year having 365 days?
Where does this extra come from?
Where adjustments are needed!
"Just get a general idea for now, you can gradually understand it later."
Li Mosi doesn't plan to go into too much detail at once.
He asked his disciples to refocus their attention and continue explaining.
"Clouds rise and bring rain, dew condenses and turns into frost..."
