The World of Deities Chapter 959: Fire and Smoke

"Huh? Isn't it good not to be confused by the outside world?" Arthur looked puzzled.

Su Ye smiled and said: "I ask you, a British primitive god, facing the entry of a powerful magician, do you think he is not confused or confused?"

Arthur suddenly realized, "I see! Herbs are not confused, he feels that he is right with everything in the past, so he can kill the magician as an ordinary Englishman, so even if he meets you, he You are also a more powerful magician. However, the goddess of the holy lake is confused. She does not know what the divination crystal ball means, so she is constantly testing you, and finally convinces you. As a result, you die without confusion, confused Take control of the whip."

"How about you?"

"I am still confused."

"So, think about it now, are you not confused or confused?"

Arthur was suddenly startled in a cold sweat, and said: "Thank you for your teaching. Of course it is good to be confused, and always be confused. Otherwise, I don't know what stupid things I will do."

Su Ye smiled and said: "So, forty is not confused, it means that he followed the rules of the society at the age of 30, and achieved the "stand" in the eyes of others, but after that, he will be stereotyped by the entire society and will think that all People, everything, and all laws should operate according to the past. Everything about him is solidified. When encountering any external stimulus, he will either think he is complacent, or he is too lazy to be confused and give up exploring. In a long and unchanging society, do this It’s not a big problem, but in an era of drastic change, it’s very deadly."

"Just like the herb gods and the black witch gods, they felt that they had done nothing wrong, but in a blink of an eye, there was nothing." Arthur nodded vigorously.

"Fifty knows the destiny, literally means being fifty years old and knowing the laws of heaven and earth. It sounds pretty amazing, right?"

"Yes, isn't it great to know the changes in the world?"

"If you regard knowing the destiny as a good thing, then you look down upon Kong the Great Wisdom."

"First of all, we have to be clear about what destiny is. Destiny actually has two explanations. One is the will of heaven and earth. In other words, it is all the laws of heaven and earth, and all the destiny of all things. A wise person thinks he is fully acquainted with destiny when he is fifty years old?"

"It shouldn't mean that." Arthur thoughtfully.

"Then, knowing the destiny can only be the second meaning, knowing one's destiny, in other words, knowing the limits of one's life and ability."

"This statement is more reasonable." Arthur said.

"He was saying that when he was fifty years old, he thought he knew his own limits and knew that his destiny could not be violated. Therefore, when he was in his fifties, he gave up his original insistence and gave up in Lu. The official position, give up changing the Lu State."

"So, knowing the destiny actually means that our arrogance and pride are more than not confused, we are more self-righteous, we will eventually use destiny and destiny as an excuse to restrict ourselves. But think about it, we really know Is the destiny? If we even know the destiny, what else can we not do? So, just like with no doubt, Kong's so-called knowing the destiny is all introspection and self-criticism."

"So that's it." Arthur sighed.

"However, the Great Wisdom is the Great Wisdom after all. Even if Kong restricts himself and gives up the past, he still does not stop learning. After that, he learns the book called "Yi", has a sense of heart, and comprehend the change. 'The truth, leaving Lu State, traveling around the world, began a major turning point in life."

"The Kong before the age of sixty was just a successful official and thinker. After the age of sixty, Kong gradually became a great wise man."

"Sixty Ershun is the turning point of the Great Wisdom Kong. Ershun also has two explanations. The first is that he can accept anyone’s words calmly, and no one’s words will arouse his own negative emotions. Look down on everything. But, do you think it’s a bit too low to measure a 60-year-old man of great wisdom?"

Arthur nodded.

"So, Ershun should take the second meaning, that is, when you encounter people and everything, you will quickly see the essence. When others are wrong, you will see the essence of others’ errors. If you don’t care about the appearance, you naturally don’t care about others. When others are right, they will see the right essence. Even if others accuse themselves, as long as they are right, they can accept it."

"Then, when it comes to seventy, do what you want and don’t overstep the rules. This is literally well understood, that is, seventy years old, doing things recklessly, doing whatever you want, doing what you want, but not going against each other. Kind of rules. Right?"

Arthur nodded.

"Have you ever considered, and understands what you want, what rules are not violated if you don't go beyond the rules?" Su Ye asked.

Arthur said slowly: "You said that, I seem to feel a little bit. If you don’t go beyond the rules, it’s just that you don’t violate social rules, laws, etiquette, customs, favors, etc. It’s true for ordinary people. It’s a very high standard, but it’s a very low standard for a great wise man. So, what do you think is the standard for not exceeding the rules?"

Su Ye smiled and said: "Do you know Kong, the wise man, what is the highest goal he pursued throughout his life?"

Arthur shook his head.

"It is to create a world of courtesy and benevolence, and hope that everyone will live in the most perfect way." Su Yedao.

"This is a respectable ideal." Arthur said.

"So, what do you think of Kong’s Great Universe World is better than social rules?"

"Far beyond!" Arthur was in awe.

"When Kong was in his sixties or seventies, he was laughing and playing with his old friends and yelling at his disciples. How about Kong's free will be deeper, expressionless, and mature than the city you think?"

Arthur blushed and said, "Of course Kong is better."

"So, do you now understand the biggest difference between you and Kong?"

Arthur froze for a moment and nodded vigorously: "I understand. I haven't even been able to'stand up', but I use social rules to restrain myself and others, thinking that maturity must be a deep and unsmiling city. , Steady words and deeds. In my eyes, this standard is the supreme. Anyone who does not meet this standard will feel uncomfortable and then oppose it. However, the great wisdom Kong, he transcends the shackles of society. In his mind, the so-called maturity is only the lowest standard, and the Datong world is the highest standard. His freewheeling is not against the rules of the society, but not against the rules of the Datong world in his heart."

Su Ye smiled and said: "Very well, there is a similar great wise man in Greece, can you remember who it is?"

"Plato!" Arthur said loudly, "His ideal country concept is very similar to Kong's Great Harmony World."

"So, does Plato fit the image of that mature man in your mind?"

Arthur shook his head and said: "The three famous Greeks, whether they are Socrates, Plato or Aristotle, do not meet my mature standards. They are all full of wisdom and humor, and Plato Masters are more romantic. They are completely different from stereotyped officials and nobles."

"So, do you understand what I want to say?"

Arthur thought for a long time, and slowly said: "I need to consider the rules and constraints of society, but I cannot be completely restricted by social rules; I can judge others, but I cannot judge rudely; I have to reflect all the time, I Whether to fall into self-righteousness, whether to fall into self-righteousness, to know the destiny. The most important thing is that I, like Kong and Plato, find the supreme ideals in my heart, pursue my ultimate goal, and do what I recognize and like. , Instead of doing what others require. I want to be me, not a part that society and others need."

"Who is your best friend?"

"Kay."

"If you die, what do you want Kay most?"

"Living happily, if I have spare energy, help me complete the unfinished regret..." Arthur suddenly thought of something, and his voice stopped abruptly.

"You spend three years thinking about what your highest inner goal is. If you don’t experience long periods of thinking and pursuit, and you think you know what you really want and what you like, then you just show your Don’t be confused and know the destiny."

Su Ye patted Arthur on the shoulder, turned and walked back.

"Teacher's teacher, how about yours?"

"Apart from magic, nothing has to do with me."

Arthur quietly watched Su Ye's back figure drifting away.

He suddenly remembered an epic line and muttered to himself: "In his heart, there is a fire, but passersby only see smoke."

Time goes by.

The Primordial God Alliance continues to clean up the remnants of the Black Witch God.

Many schools of magic rose up on the British mainland.

The whole mainland not only implements free nine-year compulsory magic education, not only free students’ daily necessities such as three meals, books, and clothing, but also subsidies for the families of every child who goes to school.

There are no distinctions between men and women.

There are even evening schools. Any adult, even the elderly, is also eligible to enter the evening school to learn writing and to learn popular culture.

Anyone who can read can learn magic directly.

The reforms of the city-states in the British mainland are like a landslide and a tsunami. Any noble who resists will be resolved by the temple and the people.

Those false gods and demigods became the nightmare of all rebellious nobles~IndoMTL.com~The glorious city of the British mainland, quickly became the largest port in England and the end of the world's slave trade.

Massive amounts of money are scattered all over the four countries of Greece, Northern Europe, Persia and Egypt. The British mainland is like a huge black hole, absorbing countless slaves.

The moment all slaves landed, they would be declared free people and then transported to various city-states in the British mainland.

So much so that the price of slaves in various countries doubled and continued to grow.

At the same time, a legend has been circulating in various countries.

There is an ideal country in the British mainland, where Plato's ideal country is hidden.

Milk and honey flowed in the river there, rich fat and fresh meat hung on the trees for picking, golden paving, and spices all over the ground.

That is where the pirates and evil forces behave well, because they found that the benefits of transporting slaves to England or making money in the British mainland are both high and stable.

A golden route connecting the British mainland has formed.
