Chapter 3249 Hi, Want to Communicate?
The ministers quieted down and became calm. The old monk was even more confused. He actually refused Zhou Man's communication, which aroused more suspicion.
Zhou Man hurriedly said, "Master, you misunderstood. I don't want to learn your alchemy skills. I'm just simply interested in life. We can exchange our knowledge in this area."
Seeing that Luo Er didn't speak, Zhou Man thought he didn't understand the Central Plains dialect very well, so he explained in more detail, emphasizing each word slowly. "For example, physical aging is the main reason for the passing of life. So how can we slow down physical aging? In terms of diet, is it better to eat more vegetables or more meat? Or is it better to eat a combination of meat and vegetables? If so, what is the best ratio?"
“Is there a pattern to matching that applies to everyone, or is it different for everyone, or can it be divided into several categories, each with its own differences?”
"In daily life, is it better to live fast or slowly? How fast is fast, and how slow is slow?" Teacher Mo is now engaged in life science research. If you break it down further, there are all kinds of messy terms like genes and cells that Zhou Man himself can hardly understand.
But with such a teacher around, Zhou Man also has some understanding and knowledge of this.
Teacher Mo calls it life science, but Zhou Man calls it the way to maintain health.
That’s right. In Zhou Man’s opinion, all the research done by Teacher Mo is for healthy longevity. Isn’t this the way to keep in good health?
Zhou Man, who has done some rough research, can talk about this for three days and three nights without stopping. This is just starting from the most basic diet and daily life. In addition to diet and daily life, there are also various medicinal materials to assist. Teacher Mo and his team are mainly based on refining genetic drugs. In Zhou Man's view, it is just refining medicinal materials, which is similar to refining pills and drinking medicine.
So Zhou Man asked what medicinal herbs he thought could be used.
Zhou Man spoke until his mouth was dry and the emperor and his ministers were stunned, but Luo Er stood there calmly without saying a word.
Zhou Man thought he was afraid she would plagiarize his knowledge, so he immediately said in a hoarse voice, "Master, don't worry. Since we're talking about communication, you're not the only one talking. I've also done some research on plants that are beneficial to longevity, and I have a few options here, such as..."
Zhou Man started talking again, all of which were entries obtained from the various plants she had collected over the years. Among them, she had studied several plants with clear special effects.
For example, the fruit of a certain tree was considered useless by people of their time. It could neither be eaten nor used as medicine. However, the encyclopedia entry said that after extraction, certain elements in it could treat a series of terminal illnesses such as tumors and could prolong life.
The court officials became dissatisfied after hearing this. Zhou Man had said so much, but the old monk still refused to communicate and refused to say even a word. How could it be said that Zhou Man plagiarized him?
It's obvious that he is taking Zhou Man's things for free.
The emperor also frowned slightly and glanced at Master Luo Er with some suspicion.
Gu Zhong had been paying attention to the emperor's expression. Seeing this, he stepped forward and poured him a cup of tea. He smiled and said, "Your Majesty, listen, Lord Zhou is really obsessed with medicine. When he encounters something he doesn't know, he talks non-stop and his voice is hoarse."
The emperor interrupted Zhou Man's chatter and pointed at the freshly poured tea, saying, "Mr. Zhou, there's no rush to discuss your conversation with Master Luo Er. You can discuss it later. Have a sip of tea first. You've only been in the capital, and you've already lost your voice on your first day. You'll definitely make things difficult for me later."
Gu Zhong immediately brought tea to Zhou Man.
"Thank you, Your Majesty," Zhou Man took the teacup and drank it all in one gulp. She looked at Master Na Luoer. She had recovered from her surprise and felt that this master was most likely a fraud, but she still refused to give up. "I wonder where the master is practicing? Can I come to you to discuss this when I have time?"
Master Luo Er then spoke, apologetically saying to Zhou Man, "You are most welcome, my dear lady. You spoke too fast just now. I don't speak Chinese well, so I couldn't hear or understand what you said just now."
When Zhou Man heard this, hope rekindled in her eyes. She immediately spoke in the Western Region language she knew, "Do you understand the language of Gaochang? Or Lop Nur? I know a little bit. It's okay, it's okay. If we can't communicate, we can contact the Imperial College or the Honglu Temple."
She spoke in Gaochang dialect, and several adults in the hall understood. Old Master Tang was one of them. He smiled and said, "Master Zhou, don't worry. Master Wang is still in the capital. If you need an interpreter, you can ask him to translate for you."
Zhou Man's heart moved, "Is it Lord Wang who invited the master here?"
Old Master Tang nodded slightly, "Yes, it is this Master Wang."
Zhou Man clapped his hands together and said happily, "Okay!"
The ministers looked at the ambitious and bright-eyed Zhou Man and nodded slightly, feeling very happy. As expected, Zhou Man had to step forward to deal with the master.
Although they didn't understand the second half of Zhou Man's words, it sounded very profound. As long as she didn't let others fool her, it would be fine.
Many ministers glanced at Master Naluoer, who was standing there with his eyes lowered and a smile on his face, and sneered in their hearts, wondering if he couldn't understand the Central Plains dialect?
Humph, who was it that started spreading his wisdom everywhere as soon as he arrived in Beijing? He learned the Jin dialect after just one listen, and said that all languages in the world are the same. As long as they are spoken, they have something in common. He has lived long and traveled to many places, and he has mastered this commonality long ago. He can remember many languages after just one listen.
Can't remember it now?
The emperor didn't think of this at the moment. He simply felt that Zhou Man suffered a loss. They said it was an exchange and learning. Zhou Man talked so much, but he didn't understand the last long paragraph. It was obvious that he had studied it for a long time.
As a result, Master Luo Er didn't say a word, and he listened to so much from Zhou Man in vain.
As expected, the small foreign countries are stingy and don’t have the magnanimity of the big countries.
Because of this incident, the emperor lost some of his enthusiasm for the beautiful newly refined golden elixir and was no longer in a hurry to consume it. He waved to Zhou Man and said, "Since Mr. Zhou is also interested in immortality, why don't you come and see my elixir?"
Zhou Man corrected him as he went up to take a look: "Your Majesty, I am not interested in immortality. Although I believe that people can live long and healthy lives for hundreds of years, I do not believe that immortality is possible. I prefer to call it the way to maintain health."
Zhou Man took the box and did not forget to find evidence for himself, "For example, this Master Na Luoer, he is now two hundred years old, but he is also old and kind, not immortal."
The ministers could not help but nod in unison. Although they did not think the old monk was two hundred years old, they agreed with the second half of her sentence and echoed, "That's right, that's right."
Since Duke Wei left, they no longer have anyone who can agree with them in this way, and they have many things in their hearts that they are unable to say.
I was finally able to vomit today!
good evening
