From this day on, that is, from the day when Shenhuo needed Qin Fei to identify grade gems, the initiative began to be in the hands of the earth civilization. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Since this day, Liu Dingsong has never been seen in the negotiation delegation.

Liu Dingsong was not there, and the rest of the people began to play Tai Chi; Isn't it just, isn't it just dragging, see who is in a hurry first.

The Earth civilization and the Bosela civilization have teamed up to blockade space, and the mercenaries are just fish in a pond, unable to run if they want to; Heaven and earth are blocked, and these mercenaries will have no second way except to starve to death. The state has made a gesture, which can be regarded as an account to the people; So, there's no hurry.

And Shenhuo needs level gems, and it is a large number of level gems, but it is definitely an urgent matter - if it is not urgent, Shenhuo will not be stupid to expose his hole cards.

And the more anxious the opponent is, the more he has to argue! Golf today, bowling tomorrow, and a friendly ice skating match the day after tomorrow; Anyway, life or death is not the main topic.

The personnel of the Divine Fire jumped up and down in a hurry, and the delegations of the Earth Civilization and the Bosera Civilization leisurely tasted tea and snow. What, there is no snow on Shenhuo Island? It doesn't matter, we can negotiate at the South Pole or the North Pole; It's so boring that we can go to space to negotiate.

But negotiation is negotiation after all, and the civilization of the earth also knows that it is impossible to get Shenhuo to hand over mercenaries and so on; But other benefits can be claimed. Finally, after more than ten days of negotiations, Shenhuo gave the first benefit of the Earth Civilization - to help the Earth Civilization purchase 100,000 different models of particle beam emitters.

Particle beam technology is the technology of advanced civilizations, and it is also one of the commodities that advanced civilizations prohibit from selling to middle and low civilizations. Because of the particle beam technology, it can easily tear apart any known man-made products, and even the flagship ship of an advanced civilization cannot completely defend against the attack of the particle beam - in this "family snatching activity", the power of the particle beam is vividly exerted.

This kind of technology, which can bring danger to itself, is of course not sold by advanced civilizations. Now, it is not easy for Shenhuo to be able to match and buy 100,000 pieces.

In fact, Qin Fei's father, Qin Boguang, was able to make small and low-power particle beams, but they were all disposable; The technology is still very primitive. Moreover, the earth civilization buys a large number of particle beam weapons. It is also to cover up the fact that Qin Boguang has preliminarily mastered particle beam technology.

With this first condition, Qin Fei finally came out and identified 2,000 tons of rough stones; Then, continue to negotiate!

The civilization of the earth is determined to pay attention to these 30,000 tons of grade gemstone rough. You have to squeeze out the oil to give up.

Here, Qin Fei has already begun to accept Liu Dingsong's cultivation.

In the La Prado Valley, early in the morning, Qin Fei watched the sunrise and walked back to the foot of the mountain, where Liu Dingsong was already waiting.

"Not bad. It's good to watch the sunrise every morning and appreciate the beauty and mystery of nature! Watching the sunrise from a young age, you've built a solid foundation. You really have to thank your father. Liu Dingsong had indescribable emotion in his words.

"Yes, I have a good father. In the future, I can say this to others as well. Qin Fei's words are strange.

"Yes, you have a good father. But I hope you don't live up to your parents' expectations. Starting today, I、Formally train you。 From traditional Chinese culture, to Chinese martial arts, to scientific knowledge, psychology and so on.

Let me give you a rough idea of how I have achieved it. It should be said that my path is the 'martial arts' in Chinese culture.

At that time, the original earth civilization had not yet evolved, and it had only just entered the interstellar space for less than fifty years; And I'm just an art student at a martial arts school. The biggest dream back then was to become a martial arts movie star.

But in my sophomore year, the earth's civilization was swept away by the idea of the 'second evolution' in the universe, and the entire society changed dramatically for a while. People finally realized that we could have lived for 500 years, or even 1,000 years. Or even longer!

The desire for life, the desire for superpowers, and the desire and pursuit of advanced civilization have promoted the progress of society and the explosion of mecha technology.

It was also in that year that I suddenly found my own way - to enter the Tao with martial arts.

There is no need to repeat the hardships of that year, in short, driven by the belief and instinct that I am still hazy, I began the pursuit of martial arts. I challenged the limits again and again, and finally entered the field of vision of the country's newly established special combat team, and finally the country even sent me to study in the Miata civilization at any cost. Learn the application and research experience of the spiritual power of the Miatha civilization.

I wandered with several friends in an alien civilization, and it was really hard at that time, and others looked down on the Earth civilization that had just entered the universe. In their opinion. Earth civilization is equal to monkey civilization.

At that time, we were only silver-level evolutionaries, and we were already the top evolutionaries of the earth civilization, but after entering the interstellar world, we had to face the cruel reality, and the silver warrior was just the minimum graduation standard for advanced civilization universities; The C-4 Iron Warrior is the unified graduation standard for intermediate civilizations.

Can you imagine that every college student who graduates is a true evolutionary? Everyone has their own scientific research results, and everyone has a thousand years of life! How terrible is such a civilization!

Every day, tens of thousands of technologies are born, and the average level of science and technology in the whole society can be refreshed every year. The stalls they use are forbidden items in our place; Our military products are disdainful of elementary school students.

That kind of gap makes people desperate. Looking back now, I feel a little unbelievable that I had the courage to challenge this gap back then!

Fortunately, the Miata civilization is a relatively peaceful civilization and is very helpful to the civilization of the earth; It was also the first civilization to establish diplomatic relations with the civilization of the earth.

After so many years, almost four hundred years, the earth civilization has magically surpassed the Bocera civilization and caught up with the development of the Miata civilization. This cannot but be said to be a miracle.

But I think it's inevitable.

I say all this to say the following to you, and I hear it clearly.

The reason why the earth's civilization can develop so fast is because we have two legs! One is Western civilization and the other is Eastern civilization. Two civilizations, two cultures, two very different ways of thinking, but with the same goal.

Western civilization focuses on tangible appearances; However, the Eastern civilization pays more attention to the seemingly ethereal morality and soul. The exchange and collision of these two civilizations gave birth to the most brilliant spark.

Some people say that the Chinese civilization was born 5,000 years earlier; Because denying the gods, affirming oneself, and pursuing the existence of the mind and the 'Tao' are only intermediate civilizations that are qualified to pursue, but our ancestors were at the beginning of the consolidation of civilization, that is, in the late Shang Dynasty and the early Zhou Dynasty. Start exploring.

In the past, because the Chinese civilization was beyond the foundation of civilization, we suffered a lot; But now, the foundations of society are sound. It was the time when Chinese civilization flourished.

To be precise, it is not the ancient Chinese civilization that flourishes, but the kind of thinking that needs to flourish in the Chinese civilization and culture. After all, ancient civilizations are in the past and will be eliminated.

A civilization is the most important. It's her thoughts; What we need to develop and grow is that core idea.

In my opinion, the thought of Chinese civilization can be summed up in one word, that is, China.

Medium, not middle.

Judging from the glyph, the middle is standing up to the sky and the earth, and it is beyond the heaven and the earth.

In a general sense, China is impartial, not arrogant and impatient, and upright.

In the sense of stealth, medium. It is the highest, the highest.

From an anthropomorphic point of view, the middle is a righteous chest, a backbone, and a backbone.

In nature, the sun shines brightest at noon.

But at the same time, medium, is the most mundane.

Why does the Chinese civilization love the sword, because the sword is the most similar to the Chinese character; It can even be said that the sword is the weapon form of the Chinese character.

In the story of the legend of Chinese civilization, the real extreme masters are all with swords. Because, only with the sword can we pursue the core of Chinese civilization.

Of course. What I'm talking about is just my own thoughts and my own 'ways'. Not necessarily for you. Your own path needs to be referred to by yourself.

How is it. Is there anything you'd like to ask? ”

"Not yet. I need to think. ”

"Good. If you can't ask, it means you understand. That's what I'm teaching today, and that's what I'm teaching for the first stage. Next, I won't ask any more questions, you need to think, you need to look back at your past and your heart.

You need to ask yourself if you need to follow me, learn kendo with me. Of course. Even if you don't learn kendo, I will impart other knowledge to you and fulfill my responsibilities as a master. ”

After Liu Dingsong finished speaking, he entered the laboratory, which was specially established for Liu Dingsong. Now, Liu Dingsong has also joined the research on ball lightning.

In the next few days, with Liu Dingsong's opening, no one bothered Qin Fei anymore. Every day, Qin Fei watched the sunrise, lightning, and some ancient and modern Chinese literature.

Liu Dingsong did not set a time limit, because no one can say how long it will take for this kind of reflection to produce results -- some people will not be able to reflect on a result in their lifetime.

Day after day, when Qin Fei was the busiest, it was only because of the negotiations between the Earth Civilization and Shenhuo to identify some of the grade gem rough stones. In addition, at most, the research of ball lightning will occasionally need Qin Fei's help. As for the members of the special combat team who were 'waiting to be fed', they were all driven away by Liu Dingsong.

It's been more than a month in the blink of an eye, and Qin Fei is still thinking. This kind of thinking is the understanding of oneself, the review of the past, the thinking of civilization, the thinking of the value of life, and more importantly, thinking about the future. Qin Fei would also ask some weird questions to the people around him.

"My greatest wish is to raise the technology of the earth's civilization, especially the technology of energy, to the threshold of advanced civilization. As for anything else, civilization and culture, I don't think much about it. In my eyes, there is only technology; Everything else is responsible for the technology. This is Shenyang's answer to Qin Fei.

"If I could, I would just want to be an ordinary little woman. has a dull life, and has a lover who has been with him for a lifetime. This was Miria's answer to Qin Fei.

"Ever since I was a child, my parents told me that I had a fiancé. My future is to marry this fiancé. My only dream is that this fiancé won't be too bad. Now, I'm satisfied. Huangfu Zilan gently leaned on Qin Fei's shoulder, full of ease and joy.

"Once, my dream was to be a drunken boy who dreamed of death, bubble girls, fights, big mistakes and small mistakes. But now, I want to prove the value of my life, and my goal is to follow you closely. "Zhang Jianfeng is rare to be serious once.

"Once, I wanted to get ahead and become rich. After that, I want to be a scientist-inventor-entrepreneur, a high-tech giant, and a high-tech giant. Right now. I want to be an S-class evolutionary, I want to be the hero and pride of the Slavs, and I want to be the pillar of the earth's civilization! "Ivan was drunk this day, and he and Qin Fei were drunk. But he smiled brightly.

Gu Qingyan's answer made Qin Fei a little impressed: "Women can also hold up half the sky." I want to study poisons, not only to contribute to the medical profession, but also to prove the value of women.

My goal is to become the Mencius of medicine. Mencius complemented and developed Confucianism. I want to complement and broaden the horizons of medicine. Poison is the greatest gift from God to mankind; Poison is a tonic that is a thousandfold more concentrated! This kind of concentration is not only the concentration of concentration, density, etc., but also an alternative evolution of life and medicine.

In the future, I have this idea: as long as a drop of poison, the diluted solution, is enough to meet a person's needs for a lifetime. Whether it's evolution, healing, or even health care. ”

……

Qin Fei asked almost everyone around him, even Shangguan Boyun didn't let go.

Finally another day. Liu Dingsong actually took the initiative to contact Qin Fei; It's been two months now. In the past two months, no one has bothered Qin Fei.

After Qin Fei came to Liu Dingsong's office, Liu Dingsong asked Qin Fei to stand next to him and instructed: No matter what, don't speak. Qin Fei was puzzled, but he also stood honestly next to Liu Dingsong's desk, like an obedient elementary school student.

After a while, Lone Star Kawakami walked in. Qin Fei was a little surprised, but he didn't say anything, just watched quietly.

After coming in. Kawakami Lone Star actually knelt down, which is the highest etiquette of bushido to elders and masters.

"Senpai, I would like to ask you about kendo."

"Good!" Liu Dingsong agreed very simply, "I remember." I said at the beginning of the meeting that my 'kendo' is not for you. I hope that today's consultation will be beneficial to you and will not make you confused. ”

"Thank you, senior, I've been thinking about it for a long time. Iwasaki Xinghe meets his seniors. Lone Star Kawakami said his real name.

"Good. Then I ask the first question, why does Japanese bushido call its own katana a sword, not a sword? Do you call your martial arts kendo instead of swordsmanship? Don't tell me it's a habit, or a boring answer like a translation. ”

"This ......," Liu Dingsong asked a simple question. But he asked Kawakami Lone Star. Since childhood, he has been said to be the way of the sword, the way of the sword, and he has become accustomed to it; It can be said that habit becomes nature. In fact, Kawakami Lone Star himself also had doubts and questions, but the elders couldn't give a clear answer, but instead scolded Kawakami Lone Star.

But today, when Liu Dingsong, a person who stands at the forefront of earth civilization, asks this question, Kawakami Lone Star has to think about it.

But Lone Star Kawakami thought about several possibilities, but he couldn't even convince himself.

"I'll send you four words!" Liu Dingsong spoke slowly, and waited for the lone star on the river to look at it before he said, "The sword is on the sidetrack!" ”

Qin Fei hadn't understood yet, but Lone Star Kawakami was suddenly shocked, and then his face showed a look of sudden realization.

The four words of the predecessor have solved one of the most fundamental problems of Japanese bushido. The younger generation represents Japan and thanks to the seniors. Kawakami Lone Star said, actually hitting the bottom with his head - well, in layman's terms, it is kowtow.

"Thank you for this, I accept it." Liu Dingsong thought for a while and continued, "The so-called sword goes sideways, which is the knife. But the core idea is not a sword, but a sword! With the thought of the sword, the form of the sword.

This contains a kind of martial arts thought, in the orthodox martial arts of China, the sword is not advocated. The sword goes off the rails, seemingly powerful, but it is too fierce. I think you Japanese samurai feel this the most.

Martial arts is not to be brave and ruthless, but to sublimate life; At least, that's the case in this day and age. Therefore, in Chinese martial arts, the sword goes off the rails and belongs to the evil way. The evil path, that is, the sloping path, the slanted path of martial arts.

But Japanese culture is not a Chinese civilization; Although you are influenced by Chinese culture, and you can even be said to be an alternative branch of Chinese culture, you are not Chinese civilization after all. Now, you have gone your own way.

In this case, if you want to make progress, you should not continue to study Chinese culture and other cultures and civilizations, but create your own culture and follow your own path. Your accumulation is enough; You need to create next.

Chinese civilization began with the knotted rope record, and then the bird trail replaced the rope, and then there was writing. This is creation.

The most fundamental thing of civilization is not learning, but creation; After having enough accumulation, you can create and create your own things. After all, what learns is someone else's.

This. That's how I explain it. You're satisfied. ”

Kawakami Lone Star didn't speak, but touched the ground with his head again, and then slowly withdrew; Before exiting the gate, he prostrated again. Don't worry about the mess. No one can find any problem with this etiquette of seeking advice.

Seeing Kawakami Lone Star leave, Qin Fei spoke, "Master, why do you want to tell the other party this?" Japan has performed well in recent years. But the ferocious atmosphere in his bones has never changed.

This is the wolf, and their culture is full of wolf nature; Sooner or later, it will backfire! ”

"Hehe......" Liu Dingsong smiled slightly, "Do you know what Gu cultivation is?" ”

"What do you mean?" Qin Fei suddenly thought of a possibility, and suddenly felt terrified.

"Looks like you've already thought of it. In fact, Japan is the 'Gu' of Chinese civilization, a 'Gu' formed intentionally or unintentionally, with deliberate pushing. With such a poisonous insect dormant around the Chinese civilization, the Chinese people will not relax.

Just as the breeding bases of wild deer and goats will be stocked with a certain number of wolves; Japan is the wolf that the Chinese civilization keeps around.

If you want not to be counterattacked, there is only one way for Chinese civilization to go, that is, to move forward, climb, and constantly surpass. ”

"Yes...... But it's too dangerous! ”

"Nope. Not dangerous at all! Liu Dingsong smiled confidently, "Since it is a Gu, of course there are shortcomings." Haven't you discovered the peculiarities of Japanese culture? ”

"Extreme?"

"Yes, extreme. When their civilization and culture were first formed, that is, their foundation, they were deviated! Or rather, their foundations are castrated. The so-called Japanese bushido, the so-called Japanese kendo, and even Japanese culture can be summed up in four words.

It's the four words I just said -- the sword goes off the rails.

The sword is on the sidelines, although it can advance by leaps and bounds in a short period of time, and the fighting power of the individual seems to be extraordinarily strong. But this kind of thinking. From the perspective of civilization and culture, it is a standard cult.

The cult here is not evil, but skewed. In fact, the original definition of cult in Chinese civilization. Nor is it evil, but acts that deviate from the fundamental teachings, etc. ”

"Sectarian? Aren't all religions rigid, incomprocal and rotten? ”

"You can't just see the bad side. Since we want to learn Chinese thought, we need to see the beautiful side of some things. It is said that the 'religion' is a rigid and decadent representative, so why can it continue to circulate?

Why do ideas that seem to be alive and vibrant, and so on, decline so quickly? ”

"This ......" Qin Fei was speechless for a while.

"Hehe, I can't tell. It's actually quite simple. Since it can become a 'religious unity', it is of course the best and most worthy of observance. The so-called existence is reasonable, since it can become the mainstream of society and become a religious system, there must be merit, and this merit is irreplaceable and crucial! It even affects social stability and even the process of civilization.

Don't think of the ancients as stupid. Now if you were asked to write a book about the Art of War, you wouldn't be able to write it. The Tao Te Ching has now been translated into thousands of texts and circulated throughout the known civilizations of the universe.

In the Mecha Association, among the must-read classics, the Tao Te Ching is at the top. There have been many advanced civilizations that have made the translation of the Tao Te Ching a compulsory reading textbook for "primary, middle and university". ”

"Oh oh oh ......" Qin Fei nodded straight as he listened, "Then Master, is Japanese culture deliberately created?" Do they have room for correction? ”

"It can't be said that it is deliberate, it can only be said that it is accidental and inevitable, plus a certain behind-the-scenes promoter, which together form the current situation. As for treating Japan as a Gu worm, it was also after the founding of the People's Republic of China. I'm not sure if their culture will change, but I think it's hard.

For example, in the current China, if you are asked to change and imitate Western civilization from the roots, it is impossible.

In civilization, there is a phenomenon called 'clinging to the inadequate'. I'd rather have the broken parts of my own civilization than change them. In fact, the so-called fragments are precisely the core of a civilization. ”

"Oh......"

"How have you been feeling lately? Would you like to learn kendo with me? Liu Dingsong finally moved to the core part.

"Yes! So willing! Qin Fei was overjoyed and immediately nodded in agreement.

These days, Qin Fei has been thinking too much; In the end, Qin Fei had to admit that the way of the sword was very handsome! Of course, it is indeed a representative of Chinese civilization.

(For a more detailed explanation of 'medium', see the three chapters at the beginning of the article, 'Dots'.) I won't count the words here. In addition, this is a novel after all, and many things in the text are just speculation and are not accurate. (To be continued.) )
