Chapter 119: The Realm of Heaven and Man (1/2)
As he spoke, Ge Shi reluctantly wanted to get up and salute.
Huang Si stretched out his hand, pressed his body, and shook his head: "It doesn't have to be like this. ”
He understood that what Ge Shi said was true, the cultural level of the human race had improved, and the atmosphere of learning had become more important, but this did not mean a qualitative change. At the very least, Ge She's edifying effect did not achieve the effect of Huang Si's original plan of "Ten Thousand Teachers", and culture, or political and moral culture, could not necessarily completely change the thinking of the human race.
In the current era, it seems that philosophy should be more developed?
He sighed: "It was I who thought it was too good, and the changes of the entire human race can never be completed by the efforts of just one or two people." My thoughts are nothing but falling into the trap of heroic history. However, Mr. Ge has done well enough with what he has learned all his life to start a generation of learning, which is worthy of my original entrustment. ”
Ge Shi still couldn't let go of his feelings, and he couldn't stop sighing.
Seeing this, Huang Si comforted Wen Yan: "The future is unpredictable, and the fire lit by Mr. Ge today for the human race may become a glorious flame for future generations." In any case, now the gentleman just wants to be worthy of himself. ”
Ge Shi smiled: "A good one is worthy of himself." ”
This laugh touched his sick body again, and he couldn't help coughing in succession, and gasping for breath violently.
He Yu hurriedly stepped forward to help him.
Huang Sixin knew that Ge She's time was indeed running out, so he didn't delay anymore and got straight to the point:
"Mr. Ge, many years ago, you said that you might not be able to make a decision until you are about to die, so I came over as I said at the beginning."
"Now, I ask you again, if you have the opportunity to go to the heavenly realm after death and get a chance to be reborn, no longer hungry, sick and old, but if your soul wants to become my eternal subordinate and lose your freedom, will you be willing?"
In fact, many years ago, when Huang Si asked Ge Shi for the first time, he felt that Ge Shi was unwilling in his heart. Ge Shi is a thoughtful and characterful person, he can immerse himself in books and archaeology for 20 years after the former scenery, without distractions, not shaken by any external objects, and the firmness of his mind can be seen.
However, he is now old and on the verge of dying, and perhaps after his life, he will have a different mind.
In order to avoid the confusion of his thoughts before the temporary, Huang Si also deliberately came over a month in advance, that is, to give Ge Shi enough space to think, and let him make judgments under normal thinking as much as possible, Huang Si did not want to recruit him against his own will.
This is the same as when he let Kuroko's soul naturally disperse.
Ge Shi looked at Huang Si, and after a long time, he took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind, and said:
"Your Excellency, thank you for taking the trouble to come to see me off, but please forgive me for not being able to say yes."
Huang Si didn't say anything, just held his hand.
"If you have read the history books I compiled, you can probably guess it......" Ge Shi raised his head, and the focus of his eyes seemed to fall on the distance, "When compiling the history of the human race, I only wrote about the existence of the gods in ancient times, but in the history of the human race, let the existence of the gods live in seclusion behind the scenes, and mainly record the history of the human race itself. ”
"It's not because I don't respect the gods, but because I can understand your mind. Didn't you just tell me at that time that you hoped that our human race would grow up as soon as possible and no longer rely on the gods for everything, right? ”
Huang Si was silent for a moment.
Have you ever told me? I don't remember, after all, it was last month.
Ge Shi continued: "What I have learned and passed on all my life is based on the human race itself. For example, if it is said to be a ritual to worship the gods and ancestors, isn't it actually for the people of today? Let the present people learn to be cautious with the gods and ancestors, so that they can cultivate their virtues and make them dignified. Therefore, the gods are only behind the scenes, and the people in front of the stage are still the human race, whether it is the reverence for the gods, or the rituals, or the ancient rituals, they are all for our human race itself. ”
"So, the heavenly realm mentioned by His Majesty is not suitable for me, if I want to leave the land where the human race lives and go to a distant place to live another life, I probably can't accept it......"
This has nothing to do with whether or not he has become a subordinate of His Holiness as he says...... If you really want to say it, the old man really wants to follow the Venerable for the rest of his life, but unfortunately, the old man knows that he is really not suitable for ......."
Ge Shi talked too much and was too anxious for a while, coughing violently, He Yu hurriedly brought him warm water and served him to drink.
When he finally took a breath, he looked at Huang Si again and said:
"Please forgive the old man for not knowing how to lift up, and I really can't see the ...... by example."
Huang Si sighed.
In fact, he could almost guess this result.
It's just that he really wants to see Ge Shi off.
"I'm not going to leave for the next few days. If you have any questions, you can ask me, and if you feel that you can't bear it physically, let me know, and I'll give you one last ride. ”
In the end, it was on the fourth day that Ge Shi asked for death.
Huang Si let him die without pain.
At the last moment, Ge Shi still insisted that He Yu help him up from the bed, and respectfully, with the most formal ritual of worshiping the gods, he gave Huang Si his last bow.
"Thank you for your care of the Terrans. In the next, satisfied. ”
In this way, Ge Shi finally passed away with a smile.
Seeing the teacher's death, He Yu hurriedly went outside the house to call the core disciples in the academy, and everyone rushed in like a tide, filling the room to the brim.
He Yu returned to the house with everyone, and he looked around for the two people who were still by the bedside just now, but those two, Huang Shiren and Yang Bailao, were no longer here.
They disappeared without a trace, as if they had never been there.
He Yu was slightly aware in his heart, but he also understood that this was a secret that could never be spoken.
He recorded his teacher's lifelong experiences, words and deeds, but the last scene was destined to be recorded only in an abridged way.
In fact, of course, Huang Si couldn't just leave, after all, Nanyang was also there, he just used his spiritual power to directly take Nanyang and go out directly through the back window.
Huang Si and Nanyang came to the periphery of Ge's Academy, watching the crowd surging towards the room before.
"It's so dangerous, if you go one step too late, you'll turn into a sardine." Huang Si said.
Nanyang hadn't recovered from the sadness just now, and was just silent with his head down. He has been with Ge Shi for many years and has a very good relationship, so it can be said that this is Nanyang's first Terran friend.
Huang Si didn't bother him, just quietly stayed by the side and let him remember alone.
