Three Kingdoms: My Wife Is Diao Chan

Chapter 18 Zhou Buyi Meets the Lord

Chapter 18 Zhou Buyi Meets the Lord

Since Zhou Buyi doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, then Cao Chong has an idea.

Isn't it just to explain why there are day and night, look at the power of the young master!
"Come here, bring me a candle and brush, and a wine jar." Cao Chong ordered his servants.

Diao Chan was puzzled, what do candles, brushes and wine jars have to do with explaining day and night?
Not to mention Diao Chan, even Zhou Buyi looked at Cao Chong suspiciously, wondering what Cao Chong was going to do.

"Husband, why do you want those things?" Diao Chan couldn't help being curious and asked.

Cao Chong smiled mysteriously, but did not answer, "You will know when the time comes."

Then he looked at Zhou Buyi, and continued: "This is what you said, as long as I explain why there are days and nights, you can follow me."

Zhou Buyi said decisively: "Of course, but if you can't explain it, you must take me to the prime minister's mansion to see Prime Minister Cao."

The corners of Cao Chong's mouth showed a slight curvature, "Don't even think about what happened to Lao Cao, I'm going to fix you."

Just as he was talking, the servants had already brought the candles and the wine jar.

Cao Chong asked his servants to close the windows of the restaurant, and suddenly the inside of the restaurant became much darker.

Diao Chan didn't know what Cao Chong was going to do, she stared straight at Cao Chong with her beautiful eyes.

Zhou Buyi observed Cao Chong's every move.

"Facts speak louder than words. I will show you the principle of day and night in an experimental way!" Cao Chong said to Zhou Buyi.

After finishing speaking, Cao Chong picked up the brush and began to draw on the wine jar, still muttering: "An old man Ding owes me two liu, I said three days to pay it back, he said four days to pay it back, ah bah..."

After a while, Cao Chong drew a very ugly old man Ding, and wrote the word Zhou on the old man Ding.

"This villain, for example, is you." Cao Chong pointed to the painted villain and said to Zhou Buyi.

Zhou Buyi frowned into a word, "I'm not that ugly."

"Don't care about these details. Besides, no matter how beautiful you are, you are not as beautiful as my young master." Cao Chong said shamelessly.

Zhou Buyi: "..."

"Not much nonsense, the next thing is to witness the miracle."

Cao Chong lit a candle and placed it in the middle of the table. Since the windows of the restaurant were closed, the candle looked particularly bright at this moment.

Then Cao Chong raised the wine jar in the air, keeping it parallel to the candlelight, and intentionally turned the painted villain's back to the candlelight.

"On the side illuminated by the candlelight, is there Zhou Buyi I painted?" Cao Chong asked suddenly.

Zhou Buyi shook his head, but did not speak.

Diao Chan replied, "No."

"Very good." Cao Chong wanted this answer.

After saying that, he began to slowly rotate the wine jar, just like the earth rotates.

After a while, the villain was turned by Cao Chong to the dividing line between light and darkness.

"Then, you see, originally you were on this, and you were not illuminated by the candlelight, but I turned it around a few times, and you appeared at the junction of light and darkness. The light here is not strong enough, and you can understand it as dawn."

"As long as I turn it a little bit, the villain will completely leave the dark side. However, the candlelight in this area is too weak, just like the sunrise. You can understand it as early morning."

Cao Chong said to Zhou Busu.

Zhou Buyi's eyes lit up.

Then Cao Chong continued to turn the wine jar until the villain was facing the candlelight and became clearly visible.

"Look again, now you are being directly illuminated by the candlelight, just like hot soup in the middle of the day, you can understand it as noon." Cao Chong continued.

Zhou Buyi opened his mouth wide, a little surprised.

Cao Chong turned the wine jar again until the villain was at the junction of light and shadow for the second time, "The light here is the same as the first time, the difference is that this time it enters towards the dark side, just like sunset and dusk, you can understand For the time period we're in right now."

With a whoosh, Zhou Buyi stood up, staring at Cao Chong's experiment in astonishment, his jaw almost fell to the ground in shock!
"This...is this the origin of day and night?" Zhou Buyi was dumbfounded, unable to speak smoothly, "This...how is this possible!"

"I guessed that you wouldn't believe it." Cao Chong had already prepared himself. After all, with the cognition of this era, how could anyone believe that the earth can rotate by itself.

The ancients paid attention to the roundness of the sky and the roundness of the earth. The earth does not move, and the sun should move.

This is why, Cao Chong did not dictate, but explained the reason for day and night to Zhou Buyi by doing experiments.

Facts have proved that the experiment is unbelievable. If it is just dictation, I am afraid that Zhou Buyi will only feel that he is talking nonsense.

"I know that this experiment has subverted your worldview, but it doesn't matter. With your ability to digest it for a few months, it will be fine. Don't look at me with adoring eyes."

Cao Chong put down the wine jar, blew out the candles, and asked his servants to open the windows.

Zhou Buyi hadn't recovered yet, and still stood there like a wooden chicken, pointing at the table and motionless.

"Miss, do you understand?" Since Zhou Buyi hadn't slowed down yet, Cao Chong simply asked Diao Chan, wanting to know how Diao Chan felt.

"I didn't understand my husband's words." Diao Chan was honest.

"Uh..." Cao Chong was speechless for a moment.

But it's normal. People's cognitive level in the Three Kingdoms era is still very low. In terms of science, they are still at an extremely backward stage. It is normal that Diao Chan didn't understand it.

If someone understands it at a glance, it is not normal.

After all, the theory of the earth's rotation was not discovered until the 16th century, and the Three Kingdoms were in the 3rd century, with a full gap of the 13th century, that is, more than 300 years.

It is a strange thing for someone to believe in the knowledge of 1000 years ago.

"Could it be...Could it be that the ground under our feet keeps turning?" Suddenly, Zhou Buyi asked.

I go!

This time it was Cao Chong's turn to be surprised.

A child prodigy is a child prodigy, he can understand a little bit, and he can comprehend the knowledge after a thousand years so quickly.

"That's right, you're right. Withered vegetation, the day and night of the heavens and the earth, and the cycle of spring and autumn are all related to the rotation of the earth." Cao Chong said immediately.

"How did you discover these? Also, why are the vegetation dying and the cycle of spring and autumn all related to the rotation of the earth?" Zhou Buyi was very excited, as if he had discovered a new continent.

"It's not impossible to tell you, but you and I are now in the relationship of passerby A and passerby B, why should I tell you?"

Zhou Buyi understood what Cao Chong meant.

thump!
Zhou Buyi suddenly knelt down, cupped his hands and said, "I will pay my respects to the lord next week!"

The ancients are sincere, willing to bet and lose, and never play any tricks.

"Hahaha, get up, get up, don't be so polite, I get you just like Liu Bang got Xiao He, Lao Cao gets Xun Yu, from now on you and I will be brothers, I will be in charge of outsiders and you will be in charge of insiders, we will create a great cause together!"

Cao Chong was in a good mood and hurriedly helped Zhou Buyi up.
