Chapter 19 Xunzi’s Question
Su Xing was speechless.
He just subconsciously said the name Sakyamuni, but it actually caused such a misunderstanding?
Looking at the large group of kneeling monks, ancient Indian businessmen, nobles, and ordinary people with enthusiastic and aggrieved eyes in front of them, Su Xing suddenly didn’t know what to do.
If this is really thought to be Sakyamuni, how will he deal with these people in the future?
"I..."
He still wanted to make a final struggle to save and explain.
Before he could continue, a group of well-dressed Confucian scholars came out beside Salman and other monks.
The actions of these people attracted Su Xing's attention, and also attracted the attention of Qin Wang Yingji, Bai Qi, Guiguzi, Xianyang people, Taoists, Yin and Yang, and other various schools who were secretly spying.
While Su Xing was observing them, a famous soldier tensed up and looked at the approaching Confucian scholars with vigilance. If these people made any small move, they would use a thunderous strike.
Fortunately, Li Si and others did not get too close and stopped at a distance they thought was safe.
Looking at the dreamy children on the street not far away in the morning light, Xunzi and his group of students had complicated eyes.
As a materialist thinker, a representative of the Confucian school, a master of a hundred schools of thought, and even once said the words "Control the destiny of heaven and use it", Xunzi naturally did not believe in ghosts and gods.
But his experience in Qin during this period made him and his students doubt their lives.
Is there really a so-called god in the world?
With this thought, in order to give himself an answer and to answer the doubts in his heart, he stood up.
He was going to ask this so-called god several questions that the world could not answer!
When the time comes, he will naturally have the answer in his heart and know whether the other party is a god...
While Xunzi was pondering the question.
As soon as he stood up, Qin King Ying Ji, Fan Ju, Bai Qi, and even some Confucian scholars in the crowd recognized who he was instantly.
"This man seems to be Xunzi Xunqing?"
"His, it's him, a representative of the Confucian school!"
"I heard that he studied in Qi State in his early years. Because of his profound knowledge, he also Served as the sacrificial wine of Qi Guojixia Academy three times?”
"Jixia Academy, that is the rumored first academy. There are hundreds of wise men in it. Mencius, Zouzi and others all studied there!"
"This Xunzi, It’s extraordinary to be the priest and the head of the academy three times in a row!”
Following a person's narration, the people of Qin, hundreds of schools of thought, monks from foreign lands, and others looked dazed and surprised.
Especially some of the Confucian people, they had long heard that Xunzi came to Xianyang, the capital of their King of Qin, and did not expect to see him on such an occasion.
As for Qin King Ying Ji, ministers such as Fan Ju and Bai Qi, or the Qin nobles, have long known about this matter.
They were also curious and wondered what Xunzi wanted to do at this time.
Gui Guzi in the attic also had curiosity and interest in his eyes, ready to see what Xunzi was going to do.
Hundreds of monks had puzzled expressions in their eyes. They didn't know what questions this middle-earth man was going to ask the World Honored One.
Just when they were confused, Xunzi looked at the children under the morning light, "Can I ask a few questions?"
"What questions?" Su Xing was a little curious.
Qin Wang Ying Ji, Li Si and others were also curious.
Xunzi smiled elegantly and said confidently, "My question is a question that only gods can answer!"
He wasn't going to ask normal questions.
He was confident that unless he was really a god, the questions he was going to ask would take some time to think about and make up, even if they were made up!
The next moment, among the stunned expressions of everyone, Xunzi asked a question that they had never expected him to ask. "Little God, what do you think the world is like?" Xunzi asked.
After saying this, Su Xing was startled. He did not expect that he would ask this question, and King Qin Ying Ji and others also did not expect it.
In the attic, Guiguzi looked surprised.
In his understanding, the sky is round like a cover and the place is like a chess game. The sky is round and the place is round. King Qin Ying Ji and others also thought the same.
They wondered how Xunzi could ask such a simple question.
Xunzi naturally knew that the answer to this question had long been known, but he believed that if there were gods in the world, they would be able to answer it in more detail.
Qin King Ying Ji, Fan Ju and other ministers, the people of Qin, Taoists and other schools of thought, Salman and other monks...
Their curious eyes focused on the children under the morning light.
Xunzi was also staring closely at this so-called little god.
If he thinks for too long, or just says something like the sky is round and the earth is round, then he is almost sure that this so-called little god is a fraud!
He didn’t believe that there really were gods in the world.
Unexpectedly, the next moment he asked this question, the little god in front of him said something that shocked him, King Qin and others.
Su Xing said quietly without thinking, "Our world is an irregular round sphere."
"We all live on this round sphere, and the atmosphere, which is the sky, wraps This sphere."
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire scene fell into silence.
Whether it was King Qin Ying Ji or others, they all looked at the child standing under the morning light with disbelief at this moment.
Even Xunzi had a look of astonishment on his face. Even he did not expect that the rumored little god in front of him would actually give such an answer.
"The heaven and the earth are a sphere, and we all live on this sphere?" Xunzi doubted life.
The faces of everyone present were full of doubt, surprise, and disbelief.
“Isn’t the sky and the earth round and square? What is this little god talking about?”
“He must be talking nonsense, right? Is this little god talking nonsense?”
In their understanding, the earth is like a flat chessboard, and the sky is like a bowl, covering the ground upside down, that is, the sky is round and the place is round.
When everyone was talking about it and didn't believe it, Xunzi suddenly said, "I believe your answer."
The awakening was unexpected, and Qin King Ying Ji, Li Si and others were stunned.
Xunzi said with a solemn expression, "When you answered the question, you didn't think about it at all and just gave the answer directly."
"It's like you already knew this. The answer to everything is the same?"
"Even if ordinary people lie, they will have a thinking process, but you..."
After saying this, King Qin Ying Ji and others looked stunned. They immediately thought about it carefully and found out that it was incredible. It seemed that this was really the case?
The moment Xunzi asked the question, he directly gave the answer without even thinking about it?
As if he already knew the answer to this matter?
But how did he know that the world was round? !
