Chapter 22: God and the Four Battles
"No, it can't be missing...... Facing Butana's longing gaze, the shopkeeper flatly refused, but still left a way back for her, "I can help you keep it first, and then come back when you have enough money." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
While the price was being discussed at the counter, Yu Youzi and Xian Ruola were biting their tongues on the side, looking like they were among the onlookers.
Yu Youzi: "I remember hearing Pruance say before that the goddess Lumilia only woke up every four years because of the four battles of chess, and came to participate in ......the four battles of the Ring Tower Tournament."
Xian Ruola put the bag of clothes she was carrying on her back on a table in the lobby and said, "Did you hear him say about the last time the 'goddess' participated in the competition?"
"No, Pruance just nodded, didn't elaborate. Have you seen the goddess?"
"How is it possible, the goddess is directly into the finals, because it is said that she has never lost since the invention of the four-battle chess, and the four-battle chess project of the Ring Tower Competition is to put it bluntly, it is to select the strongest one from among us ordinary people to play with the goddess. ”
"By the way, I've been wondering, is 'God' really God?"
"What do you mean?"
"God is self-referential, and some are imaginary...... Since Rumei Miya really exists, who created her, the 'goddess'?"
"I'm not ...... you mean."
“...... You see, there is no doubt about our existence, so how can we prove the existence of God who is higher than human beings? If it can be perceived and understood, then it is human, and it cannot be called God, then on the other hand, we cannot perceive its existence, it is self-referential, and we do not need to intervene, but according to all the information and intelligence now, it is indeed among us, and so ......"
"Stop!" said Xian Ruola with her hand to stop Yu Youzi from continuing, "You should go to the seminary and find those scholars and old monks to discuss this issue......
"Hahaha, your brother suggested the same thing, and recommended me a professor named Cliff Kora. ”
"I seem to have heard the name, it seems to be his rhetorical teacher...... I've said it on the boat before, God or something...... Okay, okay, I just want to know if there's an eternity......"
"Eternity necessarily involves existence...... Well, let's not talk about God and existence, let's talk about the four war chess...... Since it's a chess game, there should always be a field, goddess, she doesn't show up?"
Yu Youzi has always thought in her heart that Rumei Lya is just a powerful human being, that is, a very high level, because she has a physical body and human feelings. There are religious scholars on earth who have been criticizing the Roman and Greek gods as a powerful people. In Yu Youzi's classification, the gods in this kind of mythology belong to non-human gods; demigods or people who are mythologized after death are only human gods; those who cannot be recognized and are beyond human understanding are real gods, and there is no so-called human feelings at all, that is, "heaven and earth are ruthless" in Taoism.
In this way of thinking, the goddess Rumei Miya can only belong to the "demigods", to the gods created by man. Unlike the Romans on Earth, who made Caesar and Augustus gods, the only difference is that they are dead, while Lumedia is still alive and can still survive in the foreseeable future.
The state religion of the Hickland Empire, the Celestial Religion, said that "God is sacred because of the sacraments", implying "heavenly revelation", guiding the world to the concept of salvation in the name of God, and artificially interpreting "providence" so that it can be understood and cognized, avoiding the discussion of whether "God" exists. Therefore, Yu Youzi did not entangle with Assababerg on this issue.
Of course, this set of teachings of the Heavenly Rite Sect is actually biased towards human beings in essence, because no one performs the sacrament, "God will not be holy." Such currents of thought have also arisen in Christianity on earth.
Because he found that there is a self-referential proof in the history of the Heavenly Sounds that is common in every universe: because you have the concept of "God" in your consciousness, He exists. To put the earth on earth is to invoke Neoplatonism, the explanation of the "rational type". There was a concept of an apple in your mind before the real apple, so no matter how different the apple in reality is, no matter what it becomes, as long as it is an apple, you can recognize it. Therefore, when the concept of "God" exists in your consciousness, then it is already possible to prove that God exists.
To what extent the theology of this universe has developed should be examined after a period of study in the academy. The Doctrine of Heaven has developed very maturely, and the catechesis and history of the Doctrine have filled the shelves of Pruance in a row, and there is a complete church administrative system to improve the catechesis.
No matter what world the teachings are in the world, the meaning of the existence of a monotheistic religion is that the gods are not perceptible, so mortals are needed to speak for the good. The completeness of the doctrine is a sign of the maturity of a religion. Yu Youzi felt that in his previous life, "I" was not a religious observer, but a religious practitioner such as a priest or priest. After all, religion is a unique thing that only "people" can develop, the inevitable product of the development of civilization and culture, the breakthrough point to complete the observation of civilization, and an important topic in anthropology......
Xian Ruola is obviously still young, she has not been exposed to this problem, and no one has guided her in this regard, and she doesn't want to get too involved in this issue, it is enough to have two religious people, Alaifeng and Aleyou, to conduct various speculations with her.
Yu Youzi's mind was spinning in the blink of an eye for a third of the time, while Xian Ruola on the other side opened her mouth to answer his previous question at this time.
"Haven't heard of a goddess showing up...... In the last tournament I participated in, the main arena was such a big chess table...... "Xian Ruola opened her arms and drew a big circle, framing the entire lobby, "almost the size of the stage outside......"
"So big? Does someone move the pieces, or does the player move it himself? Oh, the goddess sits in a secret room, reports that it is in that grid, and then the people outside move it. ”
"......" Xian Ruola was silent, as if looking for language, how to explain it in order for Yu Youzi, a chess blind person, to understand: "You haven't seen the chess table, it's impossible to report the ...... under the grid." The stage is for the audience, they play in a room, and then someone places the chess pieces on the stage in the corresponding positions, there are a total of 20 people, and 10 people on each side place the chess pieces...... You can find a chess book to read by yourself, there is also a special four-battle chess class in the academy......"
"Oh, I want to participate, and the more I listen to it, the more interesting it becomes. ”
"Don't dream, being able to stand out from thousands of people and play chess face to face with the goddess is the highest honor in itself...... The competition was fierce, and our adventurous group participated in it that year, and the best result was that Pan Xi entered the top 500......"
"Five hundred, isn't it, how many people are participating in this four-war chess tournament, and how long will this be held!"
More than 8,000 people signed up for the last competition, which is not very long, because you can continue the ranking of the previous competition, and the final 36 will enter the official arena for the competition......
"Thirty-six, I found that your world admires multiples of six, shouldn't it be the number twelve...... Sure enough, as long as there are circumferential celestial bodies, this kind of worship will be formed......"
"Twelve...... I didn't think of this, this, that's what it is, right?"
"In my hometown, the nine and the five are honored, but there are also the twelve and the twelve apostles in other regions...... In short, I'm interested in the four battle chess, and this time I'm going to play chess with the goddess!" Yu Youzi said confidently.
"You still don't understand what I've said so much...... Forget it, it's up to you. ”
"You're standing a flag, look at it, I can definitely fight against Rumi Miya. ”
"'Flagg'?
"There's a saying on our side that means 'whatever you say, you won't get it'. ”
"Ha, you are really confident, Pan Xi can be the number one chess player in their family, and he is only in the top five hundred. After saying this, Xian Ruola turned her head sideways.
"Panxi, I really can't see that he can actually play chess......
Yu Youzi was talking to Xian Ruola about the four battle chess, and he was thinking about another thing in his heart, listening to Xian Ruola's words, it can be clear that the so-called "Ring Tower Competition" should be equivalent to the meaning of "Universal Competition", which is a major event in which the whole world participates. This is based on the "Tower of Babel" as the center of the world and even the universe, and the "Ring Tower" means the whole world.
I really can't see that Pan Xi, who has no heart and lungs, is poor and happy, and can be ranked in the top 500 in the world in the four-war chess.
"There's a lot of stuff you can't see, you'll know when you get to the city of the end when the tournament starts......"
After saying the last sentence, Xian Ruola also fell silent, thinking about her own thoughts. I've been living here a lot lately, not only riding all kinds of magic rides, but also trying stage performances that I never had the chance to participate in before, and dancing to the rhythm of the drums is really fun.
But after seeing Karelian coming, he inevitably remembered his responsibility, and his decision to seal the beast meant that he would not live to the day when the Ring Tower Tournament opened. When the time comes, this black-haired boy who suddenly appeared can do whatever he wants, and it is impossible for him to be out of control.
I didn't want Yu Youzi to see what was on his mind, so he turned his face sideways, just in time to see the people at the counter slowly disperse, going back to the hotel room, going out to play, and Butana began to pack up the coins on the counter with great regret.
Looking at poor Butana, Centora asked, "Shall we help her?"
"You have money on you?"
Xian Ruola is no longer a dance costume, she may have changed when Yu Youzi performed on stage for her, and now she is wearing a beige dress, not like the dresses with tight waistbands like Ethelam and Hastim.
Due to the customs of Aaron Barama, the dress on Xianrula's body is a circle of vertical folds at the waist, which looks like a cloth pulled tightly by rubber bands. It is a kind of compromise for beautiful girls, a kind of change of resistance under the constraints of customs, such dresses are actually very common, such as Tahidi's green and white skirts and tops are all of this style.
I saw that Xian Ruola touched her waist, and found a small money bag of flower cloth from a fold, it turned out that there was still this kind of mechanism on the girl's skirt, and it seemed that she still had a lot to learn in women's clothing.
Xian Ruola found that Yu Youzi was staring at him stunned, thinking that he was wondering where his money came from, so she threw her hand and threw the money bag into Yu Youzi's hand, and said: "This is the Hero Day bonus issued by Chi Xin, I didn't ask her for the performance dividends." "Speaking of which, this is the first time that you have relied on your own strength, and it is a non-combat salary.
Yu Youzi opened the small money bag and glanced inside, there were about ten pa, and Chi Xin definitely gave more. Is this a change of direction to bribe the manager? The big-breasted little girl who looks big and grinning is quite delicate, and she is probably still in a relationship with her close friend Olatrilis......
"How much is that 'Great Swordsman'?" Yu Youzi, who was dressed in women's clothes, was not worried about being recognized at all, and walked straight to the counter and asked. Xian Ruola looked at the two bags of clothes in the back, and a waiter went over to ask her what was served.
"I'm sorry for this young lady, I've promised this one here to come back and buy it when she goes back to raise all the money. The store politely rejected Yu Youzi's inquiry.
"Eight Dapa!" said onlookers with good deeds.
"I'm sorry, but this model has already been booked by this one. The shopkeeper continued to refuse, raised his hand and pointed to the chess pieces full of shelves behind him and said to Yu Youzi, "There are many more here, Miss can choose as much as you want......
Yu Youzi ignored the shopkeeper, turned to Butana and saluted very elegantly, continued to maintain a false voice, and introduced himself: "My name is Yarisanna, and I am very interested in the four battle chess, but I really don't know how to play it...... It can be seen that Your Excellency is very fond of the four battle chess, I will help you buy chess pieces, how about you teach me how to play chess?"
"How can this work? Butana waved her hand again and again, "Eight Pa is not a small amount of money......
But Yu Youzi is not such a good person, he will be rejected by a word, after a lot of good talk, Butana finally got moved and reached such a deal - Alysanna gave four papa, bought a star knight chess piece, and Butana exchanged six papas plus a star knight chess piece for the great swordsman chess piece, and at the same time taught Yarisanna how to play four war chess. Because he was going to see Assaberg later, the teaching time was arranged by Yu Youzi to about twenty times in the evening, and Butana stayed in this inn for the past two days.
Butana, who had received the Great Swordsman's pawn, happily didn't care about anything, and ran straight through the lobby to her room.
Xian Ruola walked over, took away the small money bag that was missing more than half of the weight in Yu Youzi's hand, threw him a key, and said, "The room has been booked, let's go up, the clothes have been moved by the waiter first." ”
