"Why is there such vast wisdom and such profound philosophy in the world?"

Socrates was drenched in sweat, as if washed in water, and when he saw that the sweat on his fingers had stained the papyrus, he hurriedly placed five pieces of paper on the table. He was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed, leaned back and forth, and then cried again, crying tears streaming down his face.

Zhu Xiaoyong slept like a dead pig, Wang Dongwei was woken up by this laughter and crying, he opened his eyes, turned his head suspiciously, and saw Socrates holding his head and crying.

Although I had never seen it, with this characteristic and strange appearance, I immediately recognized that this was Socrates! Seeing the ancient Greek sage weeping and smiling like a madman, he opened his mouth wide and his eyeballs bulged.

"Am I dreaming? Or is it an illusion? ”

After watching it for a few seconds, Wang Dongwei seemed to wonder if he had seen it wrong, rubbed his eyes, and looked at it carefully.

That's right.

It's Socrates.

I pinched myself again.

Pain!

Not a dream.

If it weren't for Yan Luo's heartless puppet, the 200-point capacity would be full, and this time it would definitely absorb extremely complex and strong emotional fluctuations.

After laughing and crying a lot, and venting the emotions in his heart, Socrates, who was a little weak, wiped away the cloudy tears on his face and asked in a hoarse voice: "Is this your mind?" ”

"It's not."

"This is the civilization that our three envoys came all the way to Greece to spread in China. Now, I've put that on paper...... Can I give you this task of propagation? Yan Luo asked.

"I'm honored."

With a heartfelt reverence, Socrates first dried the sweat stains on his hands and picked up the five sheets of papyrus with letters written on them.

"Excuse me, what is the name of that sage?"

"If you translate his name directly into your ancient Greek, you can call him Dad, but in China he is called Taishang Laojun, one of the three creatures whose souls were transformed after Pangu opened the world and fell, and a saint who lived outside the sky."

"Yesterday, I listened to the students relay about the history of China, and I didn't believe it at first, but now I believe that only a saint who is greater than the gods can have such thoughts and wisdom." Socrates exclaimed.

What Yan Luo wrote down is the five thousand words of morality left by Lao Tzu Xi out of the letter valley:

Tao Te Ching

Socrates was in the West, on a par with Confucius in the East.

Historically, Confucius once asked Lao Tzu for advice, but he did not speak for three days after his return. His disciples wondered why, and Confucius replied, "What I have seen is like a dragon?" The knowledge is deep and unfathomable, and the ambition is high but difficult to know; Like a snake bending and stretching at any time, like a dragon changing at the right time. Lao Dan, the real teacher! ”

The Tao Te Ching was only translated in the 16th century, and in modern times, there are hundreds of translations! According to the statistics of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, in addition to the Bible, the most sold of the world's cultural masterpieces is the Tao Te Ching.

Even the mad philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche once said, "I am the sun, I don't take, I just give." He also praised the Tao Te Ching as an inexhaustible well, full of treasures, put into a bucket, and attained at your fingertips.

Famous philosophers, thinkers, mathematicians, physicists...... Marx, Hegel, Tolstoy, Leibniz, Schopenhauer...... and Bohr, who sparked the debate of the century with Albert Einstein, were shocked by the wisdom of the Tao Te Ching.

On Einstein's bookshelf, there is also a translation of the Tao Te Ching.

Socrates, an ancient Western sage with the same status as Confucius, and only Lao Tzu can truly subdue such a sage - and as a philosopher, he can realize how amazing the ideas contained in the Tao Te Ching are!

He laughed at himself for being so self-conscious, to challenge such Chinese wisdom, and cried why he hadn't seen this until now.

Yan Luo didn't know that Socrates would come to him, but this guy didn't show up yesterday, and the three claimed to be here to spread Chinese civilization.

So he directly translated the Tao Te Ching today, if Socrates comes, he can take out this book and let him shut up and leave, if he doesn't come, he will pass these to Herodotus and other Greek sages, which can be regarded as a complete lie of the envoy.

The Tao Te Ching is known as the general outline of the Tao Te Ching, and as for whether these Athenians can discover the practice mantra such as "longevity" from the Tao Te Ching, it is not for Yan Luo to consider.

Maybe in the history of this world, Taoism will be produced in the West? A group of wild Taoist priests appeared?

From the beginning of the fighting spirit, to the shock of crying and laughing a little tired, now feeling the wisdom of the Tao Te Ching, the heart is agitated and becomes energetic, Socrates left from Yanluo with excitement and returned to the Senate.

Perikles had lunch with the senators, waiting for Socrates to challenge Yanra's return.

"I don't know if he can defeat that Huaxia envoy." An elder said.

"Of course! Did Socrates lose in Athens, no matter who he debated? ”

"Socrates is coming!" A herald ran into the hall.

Really say Socrates, Socrates to.

"Let him in." Pericles' heart was full of anticipation and apprehension.

However, the consul was immediately relieved, and he saw the Gadfly of Athens with joy on his face and a bright sparkle of excitement in his eyes.

Pericles hurriedly got up, he laughed: "I was worried just now, but I am relieved to see you now...... How about defeating that Huaxia envoy? ”

"Definitely." With the patriarch nodding in agreement, Socrates' heartfelt joy could be seen by all.

It seems that this is not only a victory, but a big victory!

"Worthy of Socrates."

"How could the wisest man in Athens lose to someone else?"

"Socrates, you are a hero of Greece!"

……

Hearing the compliments and compliments of the patriarchs, Socrates' expression stiffened a little, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he said, "I am defeated." ”

"Sure enough, it's a victory...... Belch? ”

An elder who spoke subconsciously was stunned.

"Haha...... Ha? Pericles' laughter came to an abrupt end.

It was as if someone had used "theworld", all the patriarchs' expressions froze, their movements paused, and it seemed that time began to pass after more than 10 seconds, and Pericles said with a haha: "Socrates, are you kidding us?" ”

"No...... I did lose. ”

Socrates was still beaming.

Pericles felt a surge of anger in his heart, and he was inexplicable: "You are so happy to lose? ”

"I've always thought of myself as an ignorant person with little wisdom, so I love wisdom, and today, I see true wisdom!" Socrates held up five pieces of papyrus in his hand, "This is the record of wisdom!" ”

"We didn't argue, he took it out and gave it to me, please, and passed it on to someone else...... This is the civilization that the envoys of China are preparing to broadcast in Greece. ”

"What? Socrates, are you crazy? One of the patriarchs said incredulously.

It was precisely because of the insult that the barbarians were called that the scholars were summoned and prepared to completely impress the Chinese envoys at the reception ceremony. Now, the greatest wise man of Athens, the philosopher, actually wants to take the initiative to help each other and spread civilization.

"Do you want to go to the Judgment Conference?" Pericles said angrily.

"Archon." Socrates took a few steps forward, his face full of determination, "If you've seen this, you'll understand...... I love Athens, but I love wisdom even more, above, the Tao Te Ching written on it, is the crystallization of civilization and wisdom, get this, Athens will change its glory. ”

"I won't watch it, and I won't agree with you to spread it, Socrates, you let me down so much!"

"Archon, wisdom and thought, without borders! This is Huaxia Daxian: Dad...... The classics of Taishang Laojun. Although Athens is prosperous today, it is also immersed in arrogance and emptiness, without the guidance of profound wisdom, prosperity and destruction are only one step apart! ”

Socrates was not wrong in his hunch, in fact soon the Peloponnesian War would begin, and Athens would fall in complete decline in the competition with Sparta.

"Unwarranted intimidation, gibberish!" Pericles' face was cold.

"Socrates." An elder suddenly asked, "You just said that these papers, the Tao Te Ching, are from ...... Taishang Laojun? ”

"Yes."

After receiving this affirmative answer, the atmosphere in the entire Senator Hall suddenly became hot.

"It's Taishang Laojun!"

"Is Pangu's soul a saint after his death?"

"This Tao Te Ching is a book handed down by a saint? Can we cultivate immortals? ”

"Show me!"

……

From yesterday to now, the elders have talked about the three saints in Chinese history - Taishang Laojun is the strongest one, the Great War of the Flood and the Great War of the Gods, the black and yellow exquisite pagoda of the sky and the earth, the picture of the black and white two fish constantly rotating, and the cushion of wind and fire, which turns into the spell of three people with vitality...... All this shocked and longed for the patriarchs.

Socrates actually got this saint and left behind the wisdom!

Tao Te Ching

With this-

Can you cultivate immortals?

Can you go to heaven?

Can it live forever?

Many of the patriarchs are old men in their twilight, and now there is a saint who has left a book, if he comprehends the wisdom in it, can he also become a magical immortal and become a member of Mount Olympus?

Seeing the chaos, one by one the senators surrounded Socrates in the middle, stretched out their hands, their eyes full of eagerness, trying to compete for the sight of the five papyrus, Pericles's chest was violently bullied, and once again, he threw the golden scepter of the consul in his hand to the ground.

"I'm so angry!"
