Chapter 288: Plato
The five elements of stepping in front of the god of the underworld Samael is also good, it is really unexpected, Wang Xiaohu originally just wanted to give it a try, did not report much hope, seeing Samael stunned, knowing that the step worked, with Samael's movements and moved, always stepping on his blind spot, Samael was very curious about how Wang Xiaohu suddenly disappeared, regardless of the two giants who were stunned by Wang Xiaohu, carefully searched around the house, and did not find it after looking for a long time, wondering: "Oriental people are really amazing." ”
Muttering out of the house, Wang Xiaohu followed behind him, for fear that he would accidentally turn around, out of the castle, outside was full of green streams, Wang Xiaohu did not dare to stay longer, looking for a remote place and walking quickly, seeing that it was not far from the city gate, but saw a group of people in Hula under the leadership of Samael, looking around, coming head-on.
The five elements stepping is very limited, it all depends on the proficiency, Geng Jianyang can make more than a dozen people not see him, Wang Xiaohu is still at home, but he is not particularly skilled, it is already great to be able to make three or five people not see it, the group of people in front of him is at least hundreds, there are giants, and there are knights on horses, wearing armor, and holding spears.
One of them rode a horse, as if he had seen him, the sound of horses' hooves attracted more people to catch up, Wang Xiaohu secretly complained, turned around and ran, just turned around, a voice came from behind a huge haystack on the right: "You can't run out like this, come here." ”
Wang Xiaohu didn't have time to think about it, and when he ran behind the haystack, he saw an old man in a wide robe and big sleeves, almost about two meters tall, with curly hair, a curved beard, and half of his shoulders exposed. A picture of the ancient Greeks dressed up, the sound of horses' hooves overlapping, Wang Xiaohu was just about to drill into the haystack. He was dragged by the old man, pulled him down behind him, and covered him with the wide hem of his clothes.
"Dear Monsieur Plato, have you ever seen an Oriental man walk past you?" Samael was very respectful to the old man, but Wang Xiaohu was taken aback when he hid under the old man, Plato! It was the great philosopher of ancient Greece, and one of the greatest philosophers and thinkers of all Western philosophy and even of Western culture as a whole. Plato's achievements Wang Xiaohu doesn't know much, but he has heard of platonic-like love, and he always repeats it in the mouth of pretending to be a coerc.
"Oh. Do you mean an Oriental man in his twenties who dresses oddly? ”
"Yes, sir, where is he?"
Wang Xiaohu's heart was raised in his throat. I heard Plato say, "I see it." That's what he said. Wang Xiaohu couldn't help but want to get out and fight hard, but was held down by one of Plato's hands, and then listened to Plato: "He got into the haystack and ran away from the other side." ”
There was a sound of spears and stabbing grass, and after a while, the sound of horses' hooves and footsteps faded away, and an old but gentle voice sounded: "Young man, you can come out from under my clothes." ”
Wang Xiaohu drilled out of the hem of Plato's clothes. He thanked him, "Thank you, old man. You...... Are you really Plato? ”
With a sagic glow, the old man smiled and said, "Plato is not a great man, why should I pretend to be him?" ”
Wang Xiaohu sighed and said: "You are really an amazing person, your status in the hearts of the people of the world, that is simply ......" Wang Xiaohu couldn't say anything, anyway, it's pretty awesome.
Plato saw Wang Xiaohu's frightened expression, and couldn't help but shake his head and said: "Young man, be calm, I'm afraid that I can't solve anything, Samael's search for you won't end soon, it's safe here for the time being, you can chat with me, you have to know that no one has been chatting with me for a long time." ”
Whether it was out of respect or the need to hide, Wang Xiaohu couldn't refuse Plato's request, carefully leaned to the edge of the haystack, found a hidden place, and asked in a low voice: "You are a philosopher, I have a low level of education, you say something I can understand, it is too profound, I can't talk to you." ”
Plato looked at Wang Xiaohu and said seriously: "I have never been to the East, but I have heard many people say that there is a big ancient country in the East, China, where there are many thinkers and philosophers, I yearn for it, I want to know some basic philosophical ideas in the East, which is also the reason why I saved you, can you tell me?" ”
Philosophical thoughts! Wang Xiaohu's brain hurt when he heard these four words, it's not that he doesn't know how to learn, it's really ...... Who still studies that thing now, a few decades ago, maybe someone could say a Ma Zhe or something, but in his generation, he didn't even mention those, except for learning Lei Feng every year, faith or something seems to be long gone.
Wang Xiaohu grinned and wondered what philosophy was, Plato looked at him and said with some disappointment: "Just say it, if you really don't know, just tell me what the East is like." ”
Philosophy, it seems that there were many philosophers in the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucianism, Taoism, Moism...... I don't understand anything else, I know a little bit about Taoism, Wang Xiaohu's eyes lit up and said: "Old man, I'll tell you about our Taoist thoughts." ”
"Great, I'll definitely listen to you." Plato's eyes were full of expectation, Wang Xiaohu sighed in his heart, not to mention that people can be famous through the ages, so easy to learn is not something ordinary people can do, he was silent for a while, and said to him: "The foundation of Taoism comes from Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching, and I don't know much, so I'll tell you about it, see how much you can understand." ”
"Tao can be Tao, very Tao, famous, very ......famous" Wang Xiaohu doesn't know anything else, the Tao Te Ching is still read, and the Tao Te Ching can remember it out, the wonderful thing is that maybe it's the relationship between hell, there is no barrier to language here, after more than a dozen sentences, Plato has fallen into contemplation, Wang Xiaohu did not continue, waiting for Plato to digest and digest.
After a long time, Plato sighed and said: "I seem to understand the meaning of the previous sentences, these sentences should say that once they become words and words, they are always out of touch with the truth behind them. Different people will interpret the same passage of language differently, and the original meaning of the person who wrote it is no longer understood. ”
Wang Xiaohu was dumbfounded, and finally knew that there was really a kind of person in the world who was a genius, born to know, the Tao Te Ching has been interpreted for thousands of years, how many people have interpreted it, and all kinds of sayings have emerged in endlessly, and it is really ...... Demons.
Young man, please continue, this is a real philosopher's wealth left to the entire human race, Wang Xiaohu originally wanted to fool the past, but he didn't expect Plato to speak so highly of Lao Tzu, and continued to recite the content of the Tao Te Ching, the Tao Te Ching is five thousand words, Wang Xiaohu's back is stumbling, and he is a little upside down, forgetting at least half of it, but Plato is so drunk when he listens.
Wang Xiaohu looked at him like this, he was really afraid that he would leave himself to study some philosophy with him, and he almost memorized it, and said to Plato: "You are a university questioner, may I ask you, how can you get out of hell?" ”
Plato woke up from Wang Xiaohu's questioning, and said to Wang Xiaohu excitedly: "The Tao Te Ching you told me is enough for me to study for a long time, thank you for bringing me such valuable knowledge, and in return, I will tell you a story." ”
Depend on! Ask me how to get out, you tell me a story, philosophers have a problem with their brains, right? Wang Xiaohu couldn't cry or laugh, with a bitter face, Plato saw his helplessness, and said with a smile: "Child, stories always contain philosophy, maybe you can find the answer you need after listening." ”
What is Philosopher? A philosopher is a person who is not good at talking, he can explain it in three or five sentences, he prefers to tell you a story, Wang Xiaohu can only listen attentively, Plato saw that he no longer spoke, and said softly: "This is a story in the ideal country, there is a group of prisoners in a cave, their hands and feet are tied, and their bodies cannot turn around, they can only turn their backs to the entrance of the cave." There was a white wall in front of them, and a fire was burning behind them. ”
"On that white wall they saw the shadow of themselves and the thing behind them to the fire, and since they couldn't see anything else, the prisoners would think that the shadow was the real thing. Eventually, a man broke free from the shackles and groped his way through the hole. For the first time, he saw the real thing. He returned to the cave and tried to explain to the others that the shadows were nothing but illusory things, and to show them the path of light. But to those prisoners, the man seemed even more stupid than he had before he escaped, and declared to him that there was nothing else in the world but a shadow on the wall. ”
"Child, form" is actually the real thing that shines in the sun, and all we can feel in our sensory world is the shadow on the white wall. Our nature is dark and monotonous compared to the stark rational world. Those who do not understand philosophy can see only those shadows, while philosophers see external things in the sunlight of truth. ”
Wang Xiaohu was very confused, he really didn't understand too much, he grinned uncomfortably, Plato sighed, he was very anxious for Wang Xiaohu's understanding and IQ, and said softly: "Since the Tao is everywhere, is there no Tao here?" The Tao is flushed, and it is used or not profitable. It is like the sect of all things; Zhanxi, as if it exists. I don't know whose son is the first of the emperors. ”
These words were like a thunderbolt in Wang Xiaohu's mind, and he suddenly understood what Plato meant, according to Wang Xiaohu's Tao Te Ching, everything in the world starts from a chaotic state, and after a period of time, it becomes a world of yin and yang, yang rises, and yin falls. For a long period of time, the interaction of yin and yang gave rise to a third substance, that is, all things in the world. This is our graceful world.
Then this hell in the West is also a product of the Tao, and what Plato wants to tell him is that Wang Xiaohu only sees the appearance, and it is not as terrifying as he imagined.
