There are no ifs in life, and history will not deviate from the trajectory for no reason. What mortals call fate invisibly manipulates people to develop things to a predetermined outcome according to the will of God. In God's eyes, this is nothing more than a difference in wisdom between living beings. The reason why God's prophecy can accurately deduce the development of the gaffe is that it is actually more than mortals can think about and see farther.

In the world, there are unpredictable prophetic things happening from time to time, and the results are often predicted in advance by smart people. Such people who have the ability to predict the future are called sages. Over time, the legends of the sages were rendered and became divine. Eventually become a god in the hearts of people. And no one knows how accurately the true God prophesied.

The recent changes in Ah Ji have made Wang Xu very worried. The wife was silent all day, and unless he took the initiative to talk, the girl could even be silent for several days. Although he didn't speak, he didn't care about Wang Xu at all. Wang Xu is worried that there will be problems with Ah Ji if this continues. So, I came to the collection hall in Xifang City. He believed that Ah Ji's temperament had changed greatly due to an injury from practice, and he wanted to consult the medical book to find out if there was any record of this kind of illness.

Soon after, Wang Xu came to the Guardian Museum. In addition to Wang Xu's contributions, there are also replicas of the books collected by the Zhou royal family in Li Cang's house. Since the library was operating normally, Wang Xu was here for the first time. The library is only open to gentlemen in the library. Since the teaching curriculum is not intense, they often come here to read books, or get together in groups of three to review the missing ancient books. After the discussion, the opinions will be unified, and then the restoration of the ancient books will be carried out. The atmosphere of academic discussion is very strong.

Wang Xu didn't want to disturb the scholars who were discussing, so he tiptoed to the side.

"As I expected, this black gold stone is the Hetuluo Book written by the Ancient Xihuang."

"I don't think so. According to legend, the dragon horse negative picture, Luo Shu is now in the tortoise shell. This is a golden stone, not an ancient thing. ”

just peeked curiously, and Wang Xu's eyes almost popped out.

The crowd looked for him thousands of times, and they didn't want that thing to be so close.

"But these two ritual patterns are not like the image of the "Hexagrams" written by King Wen."

"Why should Zhang Zi be pedantic. Maybe someone with good deeds did it at will? I saw that this stone was as black as ink, and its shape was like iron. In ancient times, shell stone was used to make things, and it was impossible to know such a method of smelting. ”

At this time, the literati would be referred to as "son". The abuse of the son is as high as that a man can be called a son a hundred years later.

"Reasonable! Maybe it was because the Chu people didn't want to learn from my Central Plains culture, so they drew the two rituals wrong? ”

"Hahaha. It's possible. ”

Among them, there was an old man with a gray beard. Said:

"If Zhang Zi doesn't give up, he can ask the history of guarding Tibet, where this thing came from. I will be able to answer your doubts. ”

The young man who was called Zhang Zi saluted several people.

"Hmmm! Gentlemen, let's continue. ”

They returned the favor. The atmosphere is very harmonious, and they are very humble to each other, showing the gentle and elegant demeanor of the gentleman. However, there is no smell of gunpowder that argues with reason when there is a disagreement.

The black piece of iron was put back in its place by Zhang Zi. It was placed on a bookshelf quite a few people away. They then pulled out a piece of tortoise shell and began to study and discuss.

Wang Xu quietly touched it, hid the iron piece in his sleeve, and then walked out the door. When he reached the second floor, he looked around, and after making sure that he was the only one around, he found a remote room and hid in the deepest corner of the room. Wang Xu hid his body under the bookshelf and began to drip blood into his dreams.

In the illusion, he saw a scene of surprise. A thin teenager of his age and similar in appearance. He was holding a slender white snake. The white snake was obviously dead, and it hung motionless on either side of the young man's palm. The snake's body was broken in the middle, as if it had been bitten by some wild beast, and a large piece of flesh was gone.

The boy laid the body of the white snake flat on a bright stone platform, and gently stroked the white snake with his right hand. Stroking from the head of the snake to the tail of the snake, it may be to smooth the white snake. He repeated it a few times, and suddenly raised his hand and drew an arc in the air. The graceful movements are like conducting an orchestra.

The White Snake vanished out of thin air. After a few moments, the boy clenched his fists and squeezed them a few times. Slowly spread out his hand, and a bright point of light suddenly appeared in his palm. The points of light flickered on and off, as if the heart was beating. He bit his fingertip and dropped a drop of blood onto the point of light. The moment the blood droplets and the points of light intersected, countless dazzling golden rays bloomed. After the light dissipated, the boy swiped his finger upwards slightly. Something magical happened.

Countless tiny dots of light spiraled together to form a spiral pillar of light. The structure of the double-stranded helix looks very similar to human DNA, but it is slightly shorter. Countless points of light began to reassemble and jump rapidly under the plucking of the boy's fingertips, and then reconnected together. The strands of DNA suddenly stretched to the ends, slowly growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After a long time, the boy smiled and nodded. He shook his backhand, and the pillars of light condensed together, and the dazzling light spread out in all directions. The golden light that flashes out of the sky outlines a woman's figure like a substance. With just one breath, the scattered light suddenly stopped, converging on the woman's figure from all directions. The light and shadow are like a dream, and time seems to go backwards.

The light dimmed slightly, revealing a girl in the light. She folded her hands in front of her chest and was naked. The long hair cascading down like a waterfall covered the stone platform. The girl blinked, frowned, and looked thoughtfully into the young man's bright eyes. In a moment, her brow furrowed, as if she had thought of something.

"You... Be... Small... Orang? ”

The boy's gaze was very similar to the cute little guy she saw when the girl strayed into the hole in the tree where the orangutan lived.

The little white snake didn't think about biting the other party. However, a female orangutan who protects her cubs bites off her body and throws her out of the hole. She thought she must be dead, but she didn't want to be alive unexpectedly. When she realized that a snake could speak, the girl covered her mouth in surprise. For a time, spring appeared. Just when he was ashamed, the young man thoughtfully took off his shirt and draped it on the other party's shoulders.

He didn't deny that the little orangutan was himself, so he nodded.

"Hmm!"

The boy has lived here alone for tens of thousands of years. It was a long time of loneliness, and even he couldn't remember how long it was. When he is bored, he likes to control the bodies of unknown creatures to explore the intelligence of the other party's future evolution. He loves games like this. I often use the blue planet as a place for games, occasionally fighting for the weak and seeking justice. He likes the feeling of being on top and in control.

"Would you like to stay... Will you stay with me forever? ”

"Hmm. I do. ”

The girl smiled. The smile is bright. She seemed to be satisfied with her current body. When I'm happy, I always shake my little feet unnaturally. However, there is something special about her feet, which are snake tails with scales attached to them. With a human head and a snake body, she is Nuwa.

The boy turned sharply and pointed to the picturesque scenery outside the palace.

"This is Taixing, and I am the emperor here."

"Thai... Emperor? ”

The girl's question made him very proud. The new species created seem flawless. The level of intelligence is millions of years higher than that of reptiles. He was very satisfied and liked it.

The boy's fingers panned, pointing to the huge blue planet hanging in the sky.

"There! That blue planet will be given to you by the emperor in the future. You are the emperor there. ”

The girl didn't understand, what did the emperor mean? I only felt that the hearty young man in front of him was like the white and flawless moon he saw when he looked up at the starry sky. While she was thinking, the young man suddenly picked her up from the stone platform and took her little hand.

"Follow me! Take you to visit the Emperor's garden. ”

They are running... Laughter... Fighting...

Until the two of them lay tiredly under a towering ancient tree. The girl asked happily:

"Does this garden have a name?"

"Not yet, why don't you come up with a name?"

"Is it okay to call a little?"

The boy turned to the side and looked at the girl beside him suspiciously. He mischievously rested his head on the other's scales. The girl blushed and shook her snake tail slightly. Muttered explained:

"You're a little orangutan, I'm a little white snake. We're all just a little bit bigger. ”

Suddenly, the picture stands still. It's like this beautiful childhood is frozen in a long memory. Everything in the illusion became hollow and dark. The illusion burst and shattered, splitting into countless colorful points of light. Scattered points of light flew like snowflakes in the sky.

Wang Xu tried to catch the scattered points of light. He wasn't out of curiosity. This way of ending seems too cruel. The passers-by in memory, like the audience in front of the screen, can never enter the beauty woven by the actors.

He thought the illusion was over. I don't want to see a new picture in front of me. It was still the same stone platform, where the gorgeously dressed girl lay there, crying very sadly, and kept wiping her tears. The young man on the side shook his head.

"Don't cry. Try again next time. Creating species is not such a simple thing. I've been learning from Ava for a thousand years, and you've only been able to deduce the fifth step in just ten years, which is already very powerful. ”

Complimented by the teenager, the girl sniffed.

"Really? Why is the species I create imperfect? ”

The boy doted on each other's hair.

"Because... You're not smart enough. ”

"What is wisdom?"

"Wisdom is the direction in which things develop. It is not the accumulation of knowledge and the creation of patchwork. ”

The rambling explanations began.

Intelligence refers to the ability of a species to judge and predict the direction of things. From subtle changes, countless possibilities for future derivation can be foreseen. Through careful logic, the most likely one is determined. That possibility is not a guess but an accurate necessity.

Wisdom is generally innate. It is a slow ascension of DNA with genetic fragments from the mother body and then slowly improved through generations of evolution.

The level of wisdom is completely different from knowledge and IQ. Knowledge can be enhanced through the continuous accumulation of acquired knowledge. IQ can also be improved through brain development or technical exercises. But wisdom cannot, there is only one way to improve. That is to absorb and digest DNA with genetic fragments, which are called phagogenes.

"Although the species you created has far surpassed the orangutans in terms of intelligence, after thousands of years of evolution, it will expose two fatal flaws."

The boy turned his hands behind his back.

"First, the neck that cannot evolve will increase the unexpected mortality rate of the species."

Pacing back and forth, it looks very unfathomable.

"Second, too much pursuit of wisdom will lead to genetic mutations. A disordered immune system can make it difficult for a species to survive disease. ”

"So let's give up. When your intelligence level is higher, you will naturally find something more perfect. ”

The girl held back her tears and shook her head, very stubborn.

"I'm not going to give up. Humans on Earth have entered the Stone Age. They will create tools, they will use fire. The level of wisdom is already very high. ”

The boy seemed to have heard something extremely childish and ridiculous. He walked over to the girl with a smile and reached out to pinch the other person's little face.

"As I said, that's not wisdom. Invention and creation are only the inevitable result of the emergence of wisdom to a certain extent. It is just the product of the species unlocking new knowledge and recombining resources. ”

"For example, the new species you created – the human race. Someone inadvertently created a stone spear, perhaps unaware that it could kill a beast. He is not smart, but a coincidence that happened in the reorganization of resources. Hundreds of years later, when the wisdom of the species is enhanced. Even if the person who invented the stone spear does not exist, there will be others who will create it. Because the invention of the stone spear is nothing more than a patchwork of resources such as sharp rocks, ropes, and sticks. It's that simple. ”

The girl tilted her head, trying to break free from the boy's grasp. She is no longer the ignorant little white snake she was at the beginning, but now she is the god of creation. Nuwa, who is worshipped by humans and is high up.

"In the eyes of the lower intelligent beings, they will think that it is intelligence, wisdom. It's ridiculous and stupid, isn't it? In God's eyes, that's just common sense. It only takes a second to read thousands of years of their civilization. So you don't have to wait until your wisdom is high enough..."

The boy smiled mischievously and went back to messing with the girl's hair. He loved the way he expressed his feelings. It doesn't matter if the other person is willing to accept it or not. He enjoyed it anyway.

"Huh. You will find out how childish and ridiculous you are today. And those inferior intelligent beings are not worth it at all... You shed tears for them. So don't cry anymore. ”

The teenager stopped his finger under the girl's eye socket. It seems that they are going to catch each other's tears.

"You said that the earth is mine, and I am the emperor there. So I'm going to protect the human race, they were created by me. Even if it's not perfect. ”

The girl brushed away the boy's fingers, and there was a lack of confidence in her words, which seemed very soft.

"Got it! Your Majesty! You are the greatest god, the Mother Earth, and the Nuwa who protects mankind. ”

The girl smiled shallowly. She loves to be praised by this all-powerful teenager.

The illusion is gone. Wang Xu slowly opened his eyes. A ray of afternoon sunlight shone on his cheek through the tall wooden window. He raised his hand to shield his sleeve robe from the glare light.

At this moment, my head felt like it was about to explode. The feeling of a splitting headache forced him to clench his teeth. His forehead was already soaked with sweat. Having received so much information, it was difficult to digest it for a while. He didn't get up, just leaned quietly against the wall. Hopefully, the pain will be relieved a little.

He tried not to think about the things in the illusion, but he couldn't help but think of the boy who looked like him, and Nuwa, and the conversation between them.

When Darwin's theory of evolution failed to explain that humans 2,000 years ago were fundamentally indistinguishable from modern humans, many experts and scholars began to suspect that the ancestors of humans were not apes. Because apes' necks are not as fragile as humans'. Human imperfections have been jokingly called God's negligence in creation. Wang Xu's two lifetimes spanned nearly 2,500 years. What is the so-called disease?

Cancer occurs because the body's own immune system thinks that the spread of cancer cells is a normal cell division in the human body, so it will not heal itself or kill it.

Thinking about these unbelievable things, it can be explained from a scientific point of view. Even the myth of Nuwa's creation of human beings is real, and human beings are the imperfect works of gods. The theory of interpreting wisdom is even more deafening. It seems to explain the true meaning of wisdom in a backward mode. It's like the talent points in the game, as long as the wisdom reaches a certain level, those inventions and creations will be automatically unlocked.

He carefully experienced it and found that this was the truth. It was not that the ancients were not smart enough, but that they were unproductive and had too few resources at their disposal. When the material foundation cannot be guaranteed, who will waste resources that can save tens of millions of people to engage in research and creation?

In later generations, he could see three or four steps of things and was called a business wizard. However, after ten years of becoming a god, Nuwa can see the fifth step. Wang Xu wanted to know, how powerful was the young man in the fantasy world? What steps can you see?

The feeling of swelling in the head has subsided slightly. Wang Xu immediately got up and carefully inspected every room in the Guardian Library. However, his luck ended there, and he found no other ferrous metals in the Guardhouse. The hour was not early, and after borrowing two volumes of medicine, he left in a hurry. Walking to the vicinity of the main street restaurant, I saw many people gathering. Surrounded two blue-robed men, one tall and one short.

"The shopkeeper will take me in."

"This... Ay.... It's not that I'm reluctant to take it in. I know that my little brother is very knowledgeable, but I am afraid that I have wronged you. ”

"It doesn't matter! We ink scholars advocate asceticism and are self-informal. ”

Wang Xu, who was passing by in a hurry, stopped suddenly. He stood on tiptoe and looked out into the crowd. I saw the shopkeeper of the restaurant take two steps forward and pick up the low man who was bent down to give a salute.

"With the talent of the little brother, why not go to the school to teach? Scholars like you will be greatly appreciated by us, Lord Nozai. ”

Wang Xu looked at the two of them carefully. In his imagination, the ink man should be carrying a three-foot long sword, and the fairy wind and bones are free and easy, like a chivalrous existence. Why does the current inkman look so nondescript? What the hell is the combination of King Kong and Chia Tai?

He laughed to himself, thinking there was nothing to make a fuss about. After all, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Mo family was powerful. Non-Confucianism is ink, and can be equal to Confucianism. It's not a strange thing to meet an inkman on the street. The living inkman had also seen it, and was ready to turn away. Just listen.

"I wonder if the shopkeeper can be recommended for the next one?"

"Well said!"

The shopkeeper smiled and agreed, and as soon as he helped the young man up, he saw Wang Xu when he looked up.

"Huh? My lord! ”

The crowd of onlookers all looked at him in an instant and clasped their fists in salute. It's embarrassing.

Then everyone was persuaded by the shopkeeper to disperse. Wang Xu couldn't escape, so he politely led the two into the restaurant and found a secluded place on the second floor to sit down. Prepare to start the interview. After reporting to each other, he cut straight to the point.

"Etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, mathematics, I wonder where Brother Ren can teach?"

The young man shook his palm a few times.

"Uh... There is nothing wrong with the book. Well, I know a little. ”

"I don't know if Brother Ren has a good work, let me read it below."

At this time, the books were not the Four Books and the Five Classics, but taught people to read and write. Generally, people who want to become teachers will come to apply for jobs with the articles they have written. The interviewer can know the knowledge of the other party by looking at the depth of the article.

"I didn't bring it with me."

"It doesn't matter! Just dictate. ”

The boy hesitated for a long time, clapped his hands violently, and began to repeat his masterpiece.

At this time, scholars always like to select one or two questions raised by sages and celebrities, and then interpret them, and then attach their own deep understanding. Some conceited and talented people will also insinuate some policies for governing the country.

Wang Xu didn't expect that the young man in front of him was actually talking about the carpenter's skills. For example, how do you make mortise and tenon joints? How should the wooden wedges be connected? It was even mentioned that after his repeated trials, he found that the dovetail is the strongest. Carpenter terms like that.

Wang Xu looked confused and listened inexplicably. They run academies, not technical schools. Although I admired this young man's attainments in carpentry, the topic of conversation seemed to be off track. He wanted to interrupt the teenager to get back to the point, but he didn't want the other party to talk endlessly. It wasn't until there was a thunderous sound in the belly of the big man beside the young man that it stopped.

"Slippery! I haven't eaten for two days. As for such a faux pas in front of adults? ”

Wang Xu smiled awkwardly.

"Hehe... Sluggish. ”

Then let the shopkeeper arrange a table of meals. After inviting the two of them to a full meal, send them away.

"There is still something important to do, one step ahead. Slow use for two digits. ”

"Wait! Don't adults think that the way of craftsmen is vulgar? ”

"How dare you."

The young man seemed to see Wang Xu's mind clearly.

"Advocating the way of craftsmen can not only strengthen the country and enrich the people, but also educate the people. I don't know that Shangli is a fool. Only the way of craftsmen can open up the wisdom of the people. ”

Maybe he is used to cheating and drinking, and the teenager knows how to seize the opportunity.

"What a big breath. Today, if you can justify yourself, you will not only give money and food, but also personally recommend your brother. ”

Wang Xucai didn't believe that after learning carpentry, people would become smarter. In his vision, he had already been deeply impressed by the wisdom theory of God. And the theory of teenagers is the opposite. He believes that the invention and creativity of craftsmen are very rigorous, if the people of a country advocate the way of craftsmen. Over time, the country will not only advance by leaps and bounds in terms of technology, but also people's logical thinking will be affected by it. Form a trend of thought in which the whole people advocate academic research. The most important thing is that it affects the way people communicate and write, their attitudes and their moral conduct.

Listen to this new and creative idea. In order to win his trust, the young man took out the country of Qi as an example.

In countries that advocate business and profit, the government only knows how to weigh the immediate pros and cons in decision-making. In the long run, the people's customs will also be affected by it, and adverse changes will occur. For example, the people will be greedy for money and spare their lives. If war breaks out, there will be no one to contribute to the country. Qi is powerful on the surface, but in fact it is nothing more than a paper tiger.

Hearing this, Wang Xu was shocked. The boy seems to have foreseen the decline of the Qi State, which is completely consistent with history. He then went on to offer more in-depth insights.

Zhou etiquette educates the people to treat others with integrity. However, the ruling class of the Great Zhou did not lead by example. I want everyone to keep their promises, there are only gentlemen and no villains in the world. The essence is to start a long learning journey through the way of craftsmen. Through continuous study and research, people can distinguish between right and wrong, and eventually everyone can see the lie clearly, and they will not be deceived by others. In this way, it is difficult to be a villain, and there will naturally be more gentlemen in the world.

Perhaps this young man's words may not be understood by others, but Wang Xu is well aware of the truth. Throughout history, such insights, even Wang Xu, a modern person, has never thought carefully about it. He couldn't help but praise in his heart.

Etiquette restricts human nature, and repressed people can only escape reality through imagination. Because they could not bear the contemptuous eyes of the world, they finally chose to go with the flow and give up their struggle and resistance.

In terms of communication and writing, people like to show their knowledge in the way of holding the pipa and half-covering their faces, advocating hazy beauty. Therefore, when communicating, they like to speculate on each other's minds. When writing, he pursues an artistic conception that others can't understand.

In terms of doing things, it is precisely because of the long-term communication and writing habits that I have been inspired. tends to value people rather than things, and this style of acting seems to be a bit of putting the cart before the horse.

In terms of moral character, it is measured by the behavioral yardstick of etiquette. Why? What's in it for yourself or for others? It doesn't seem to have received widespread attention and recognition, but blindly followed. It is also the influence of religion that causes rumors to spread wildly and quickly among the people. The public cannot judge right and wrong with a single act in the first place, but they spread rumors after imagining. In this way, those who have a plot will be able to take advantage of the opportunity to fool the people and achieve ulterior motives.

The edifying effect of the pursuit of craftsman's skills is completely different from that of rituals. In order to invent and create, craftsmen will be very straightforward and easy to understand in terms of communication and writing. Doing things is a down-to-earth pragmatist, and the results of wisdom are used to reflect personal achievements. In terms of moral character, it is more simple and intelligent. In confronting rumors, they will use the rigorous logic of craftsmen to weigh right and wrong. More to think about, why are there such rumors? What do the rumor-mongers want to achieve? Who are the ultimate beneficiaries? Maybe after seeing the doorway clearly, he just smiled coldly, and then put down the next sentence.

"What the hell is going on with me?"

The boy spoke for an hour. The table full of food had already been swept away by the strong man beside him. At this moment, Wang Xu's heart fluctuated. He looked at the young man in front of him stupidly, and marveled at the Mo family, which is really full of talents.

"Brother Ren is talented! Taught. ”

After Wang Xu saluted respectfully, he took out a bag of copper coins from his bosom and placed it on the desk.

"Tomorrow, I will wait here for my brother. Let's go to the school together. ”

With that, he took his leave and left.

"Hey, hey. It's amazing! ”

"Hey! How did you... Finished eating? Don't leave me some either? ”

Wang Xu walked a few steps and heard the strong man call the young man Juzi. I reported to each other before, but I just knew that the young man was named Zhai and was from the Song Kingdom, and the others didn't think much about it.

At this moment, I am not calm for a moment. He turned and ran back. The other party thought that he wanted to get back the money he had gifted, so he hurriedly put the money bag on the case into his sleeve.

"You... Are you Mo Zhai? Mozi? ”

"Huh? We... Ever seen? ”
