I, Doctor in the US

Chapter 103: Confucius said by the river watch the enemies' corpses float by!


Zhou Mo Sen was surprised because he knew that sheep held a special meaning in Europe and America.

The term scapegoat is known to many Chinese, right?

But actually, this term is a borrowed word.

Scapegoat originates from the "Old Testament" of the Bible, where the sacrificial rites involved a goat taking on sins for people.

Zhou Mo Sen, being a doctor, originally didn't study this term in depth.

Lately, there was a scandal, where Australian soldiers committed atrocities somewhere, and Wuhe Qilin made a painting.

The painting depicted a sheep, and someone explained the meaning.

But, that's just one aspect.

Zhou Mo Sen also knew other things.

In Western religions, sheep have always been a symbol of demons.

No need for extensive research, just watch some horror movies to get a rough idea.

Sheep horns, sheep eyes, some sheep behaviors.

They all seem to resemble demons.

In Western mythology, sheep are almost synonymous with demons, with many demons depicted as sheep.

If you really want to delve deeper into the origins, it's quite mind-blowing.

It's said that in medieval Europe, someone saw a sheep's backside and, well, did something.

Afterward, this person claimed to have been tempted.

Thus, sheep became connected to demons.

There's indeed such a record.

Actually, don't think that medieval Europe was that great.

What was the invention of high heels for?

Why was perfume created?

Also, Zhou Mo Sen, being a doctor, knew that the European aristocracy of the past.

They were once obsessed with enemas.

It's said that a French king did it over two hundred times a year.

This is clearly recorded.

Many aristocrats at the time imitated this zealously.

So, don't hold any romanticized views of medieval Europeans.

They aren't that different from today's Ah-San, are they?

In Ah-San's house, even a Komodo Dragon has to wear a protective skin and live cautiously.

What sins did medieval European sheep have?

They couldn't have foreseen that medieval Europeans would abandon their humanity so thoroughly.

Alright, here, I'm talking about goats.

And the ram's skull mask that Nicole Kidman mentioned also has large horns.

It must be a goat.

As he listened, Zhou Mo Sen inexplicably became more interested in this sect.

Nicole Kidman, a world-class beauty, seemed to also...

Curiosity, just curiosity.

The superstar spoke eloquently and quickly got to the point.

"Master, you might not believe it, but the person wearing the ram's head mask also spoke about some Eastern philosophies."

"Huh? Eastern philosophies?"

Zhou Mo Sen immediately related it to himself since he too was a master of mysterious Eastern powers.

Is there a counterpart in America?

"Is she Chinese?"

Zhou Mo Sen naturally noticed early on that Nicole Kidman was referring to the masked person as 'her.'

The superstar heard the question and shook her head with a smile, "No, I could tell."

That's true, actually Asian Americans speak English without much accent, but you can still distinguish it from other American ethnic groups.

In fact, every ethnic group has its distinct features, Black English tends to have a rap rhythm, and Ah-San, don't even mention it, their English always has a curry flavor when they come to America.

The root is that each ethnic group's physiology has subtle differences, simply put, their DNA is different.

To go deeper... they can't really blend in.

Zhou Mo Sen pursued, "So what did she say about Eastern philosophy?"

Nicole Kidman became serious, "It's Eastern philosophy."

"Ah? Which philosophy?"

"Confucius."

"What?"

Zhou Mo Sen was stunned.

Actually, Americans do know Confucius.

But, in America, Confucius is misunderstood.

For example, why is he one of the three sages carved on the Supreme Court sculpture?

It's because at the time, Americans thought Confucius was a legislative sage.

Otherwise, why carve him at the top of the Supreme Court?

At that time, Americans really didn't know that Confucius was an educator.

As for now, after so many years.

Do Americans know the truth?

That's uncertain.

Some might know, some might not.

So when Nicole Kidman said this.

Zhou Mo Sen became even more curious.

"Speak clearly."

"Yes, Master. That person said: When facing enemies, especially two or more, we should quietly sit by the riverside, waiting for the bodies of our enemies to float by—Master, this philosophy is quite formidable..."

Zhou Mo Sen was taken aback by this, no less than when he heard those famous words back then: Buddhist sage Confucius.

"What?"

He furrowed his brows, instinctively questioning.

Nicole Kidman, however, found the master's doubt incredible.

"Master, this makes so much sense, it means we need to be patient, then patiently wait.

Our enemies might attack each other, and after they finish fighting, we can easily defeat them!

This is so reasonable, so wise."

Zhou Mo Sen furrowed his brow even tighter, "But why would she, a person in a ram's head mask, say this?"

Nicole Kidman laughed, "Because she compared diseases and many life difficulties to enemies.

When she was talking about this part, she hoped everyone would have a peaceful mindset to face life's hardships."

To be fair, that does make a lot of sense.

But Zhou Mo Sen's expression had become very strange.

Nicole Kidman noticed this and immediately became anxious.

"Master, I don't believe what she said, please believe me, I am very loyal!"

She felt the need to express her loyalty.

Zhou Mo Sen actually wasn't angry with Nicole Kidman, so his expression softened.

"Nicole, I believe you."

"Good, Master!"

She even replied with a peck.

But Zhou Mo Sen continued, "But, Confucius definitely never said that!"

At this moment, our Dr. Zhou was extremely confident!

He must be confident, as a Chinese, wouldn't he know Confucius?

The Analects definitely doesn't contain this sentence!

But Nicole Kidman frowned, "Master, that's impossible."

"You doubt me?" Zhou Mo Sen was about to get angry.

Nicole Kidman quickly responded softly, "Of course, I believe you, Master, but she was holding The Analects and it was written there."

What?

"Impossible!" Zhou Mo Sen was adamant.

And Nicole felt wronged, but fortunately, she had a copy of The Analects on hand.

She showed it to Zhou Mo Sen.

The Master on the river said, 'Time passes like this.'

Master, is definitely Confucius.

On the river, can be understood as standing by the river, right?

Time, refers to the past, right?

This is even the American version of "Confucius," with annotations below!

One can imagine Zhou Mo Sen's state of mind at that moment.

F*ck!

"Master, this..." Nicole Kidman actually knew that her 'interpretation' was wrong when she saw this.

But the real meaning...

Zhou Mo Sen didn't want to explain, he decisively pinned Nicole onto the sofa.

Filled with a mischievous fire, he decided to vent it first.
