When he left with everyone and walked slowly in the direction of the maple forest compound in search of a remote path, Fang Tian's thoughts involuntarily extended from the few big characters he had just written.

Specifically, it extends from "calligraphy".

Every civilization has its own unique culture. This kind of culture is related to the region, to the times, to the political and economic structure of the society, and sometimes, to the beliefs of the people.

For example, "Come, dry this cup of Ganges water" is a typical culture of both regional and popular beliefs.

Fang Tian, as a civilization influencer from another world, came to this world with the civilization and culture of another world. The previous game of Go was a kind of game. Now "calligraphy" is another kind.

Go, he can only play with Sharjah, even in the future, it is conceivable that there will not be too many people who can play against him.

Calligraphy is a step further, in this world, or further, in this era of this world, it is destined to be a pastime that belongs only to him.

Fang Tian could conclude that even if Andy Eric and the others exactly felt that the words he wrote just now were a bit "different", they would never have thought that what was contained in this "difference" was actually an independent culture.

In this world, there is no such culture.

Calligraphy requires the use of unique paper and pen, but neither paper nor pen is just a medium. Behind the carrier, what dominates the occurrence and evolution of a culture is something more profound.

"Calligraphy, painting, piano, chess, poetry, hops, all of which were inseparable from it back then. Now the seven things have changed, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar tea. ”

This is a poem by Zhang Can in the Qing Dynasty, called "Drama Theme", in terms of category, it belongs to limerick poems, but in essence, it is not oily at all. Not only is it not oily, but it is very "astringent", this "astringent". Permeated with the material and the spiritual.

Materially. The wandering winds of youth were eventually replaced by the real life of adulthood.

Spiritually speaking, whether it is "calligraphy, painting, piano, chess, poetry, hops", or something else, they are all blown away by the rain and wind. In the first sentence of the poem, it ends with "flower", except for phonological considerations. In fact, it is meaningful to taste it carefully.

Whether it is calligraphy and painting, or piano and chess, in fact, they are all "flowers".

Since it's flowers. It will wither.

The flower is an illusion, the flower is ephemeral, and after withering, the original face of the plant is seen.

Whether it is the "Grand View Garden" in "Dream of Red Mansions" or the "Boyhood", it is a wall. In this wall, you can stack dreams to your heart's content, and pile up a crystalline and dream-like thing.

But it's within the walls. It's not the whole of life.

Part of it.

No matter how good life is within these walls. Always have to come out.

There are people who voluntarily, early, and impatiently rush out of the inside, in order to experience the higher and wider world outside. Someone came out of it unwillingly, slowly, and procrastinatingly. There are also people who will never come out, in order not to face the complicated windy, rainy, turbid and vulgar world outside.

But for most people, whether they want to or don't want to, they always have to come out.

"Red Dream Tower" wrote eighty eunuchs, not so much that Cao Xueqin Jianglang was exhausted and difficult to continue, but that in the context of the Grand View Garden as the center, the world inside the garden and the world outside the garden are too different.

The crystal clear, pink carved jade in the garden, outside the garden, have been shattered, withered, gradually dusty, gradually vulgar.

It is better to end with such an inevitable ending......

It's better to drop the eunuch.

Even if it has been written, it must be burned.

I'd rather accept the flawed than face the truth. For the people who single-handedly created the Grand View Garden, this is real, too cruel. Therefore, mutilation is also a last resort.

Calligraphy, painting, piano, chess, poetry, hops, pieces of the year are inseparable from it. Now the seven things have changed, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar tea.

Chai, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar tea, this is the world outside the garden.

On a windy and rainy day, it is difficult to be decent, it is difficult to be chic, and it is difficult to be romantic.

It can't tolerate "a friend and a friend, and live up to it for life", can't tolerate "the mountains have no edges, the heaven and the earth are together, but dare to be with the king", and can't tolerate "calligraphy, painting, piano, chess, poetry, and hops".

In "The White-Haired Girl", Huang Shiren's dogleg Mu Renzhi has a classic saying, "The poor are treacherous, and the rich have a conscience".

This is naturally an "anti-social, anti-human" sentence, especially for the "poor" people mentioned in this sentence.

But......

In the face of life and death, many people will betray.

In the face of money, wealth and future, many people will betray.

There are people who don't betray, but there aren't many.

If there is no persecution of life and death, if there is no money, wealth, and the difficulties of the future, what kind of situation will it be? Presumably, many, many people would be willing to be glamorous and dashing.

If you want to be beautiful, you must first be strong.

It's not true, but a lot of times, it's true.

Betrayal, including betrayal of others, but also betrayal of oneself. It's easy not to betray others, but it's hard not to betray yourself. And if you want not to betray, if you want not to bend your heart, you have to be strong.

Only when you are strong can you be qualified not to betray.

Only when you are strong can you have the qualifications to "do what you want" and live in the truth.

Only when you are strong can you have the qualifications to build a grand view garden for yourself and others in the wind and rain.

If you are strong, you can enjoy and enjoy the qualifications to create "calligraphy, painting, chess, piano, poetry, and hops".

Therefore, there is a saying in ancient China, "Tianxingjian, a gentleman is constantly striving for self-improvement." This phrase can lay the foundation for the Chinese civilization, can lay the foundation for a qiē civilization, across time, across regions, in short, across a qiē time and space.

When I returned to the Maple Grove compound, it was already dusk.

About a magical hour has passed for dinner in the compound.

At the beginning, when Fang Tian occasionally did not return, Aunt Rowling and others would leave food for Fang Tian, and after Fang Tian gave orders and gave them several times, they finally got used to this situation and no longer kept food.

For Fang Tian now, one or two meals or not eating for a day or two days is nothing.

I had inadvertently fallen into a long retreat for so many days before, and I didn't see starvation to death. Fang Tian didn't know how the magic element provided energy to the body, but it brought great changes and breakthroughs to the body, but it was a fact.

In fact, from crossing the threshold of the ninth level to enter the gate of the mage, the upper limit of life has been broken through, and it has almost doubled the increase, and you can get a glimpse of the clues.

After he was promoted to the mage, he didn't see much younger, of course, with the age of his current body, no matter how young he was, he would be young enough to be an infant. But judging from Andy, Eric, Pat and others, this improvement after breaking through the mage is indeed a comprehensive and substantial renewal for the body.

Of course, it's not just the body that is renewed and improved.

In the compound, Fang Tian summoned Owen and asked Anderson and others to attack everywhere, summoning dozens of representatives of mercenary groups such as Red Stone Wolf Tooth in Red Rock Town.

The gathering place is the newly built temporary "big chamber" in the backyard.

"I invite you to come over this time, just to discuss with you the future development of Redstone Town. His gaze swept over everyone in the arena one by one, and Fang Tian said slowly.

"Please tell me what plans you have, and I will not have the slightest disagreement. ”

After a moment of silence, they exchanged glances with each other—in fact, they couldn't communicate anything, and Sid, the leader of the Redstone Mercenary Regiment, stood up and clenched his fists.

Respectful and restrained.

In fact, not only him, but everyone present had a respectful and restrained attitude.

Even Owen is no exception, except that his situation is slightly better, but only "slightly better".

Indeed, for them, whether it is a mage or a city lord, it is a kind of high being. Not to mention, the mage and city lord in front of them was still the "son of God" who had almost been deified.

After being promoted to the seventh level and becoming the de facto No1 of Redstone Town, as time went by, Fang Tian's prestige among the people of Redstone Town exceeded his victory, and this situation reached its peak after Fang Tian was promoted to mage, and after Fang Tian was named the Imperial City Lord, it reached another peak.

After West Germany stood up to speak, all the others stood up and asked for orders.

After letting everyone sit down, Fang Tian glanced left and right, scanned for a long time, and from everyone's demeanor, he finally confirmed that at this time, he could only give orders to them. As for the discussion......

That's a thing of the past.

With a slight sigh in his heart, Fang Tian said slowly: "Fenglin, is where I stand. In general, redstone is where I stand. For a long time, Fang Tian has been loved by everyone, and Fang Tian has nothing to repay. Today, as the lord of a city, he finally has room to do something for everyone. ”

"Everyone knows, not to mention the present, as far as the future is concerned, as a city, a city directly under the empire, in all aspects, it can be said that in any aspect, its operation is not a small project. ”

"I thought about it and prepared two operations for everyone. ”

"One is diet, all the food and beverage operations after Yanhuangcheng. The second is mountain goods, which needless to say, is everyone's main business in the past. You can choose one of these two operations, and I, as the city lord of Yanhuang City, will give you the exclusive right to operate in Yanhuang City in the future. ”

"Okay, that's it, you can discuss for yourselves, which one to choose, and give you a magical time. ”

After saying this, after Fang Tian left, there was a thunderous cheer in the meeting hall.

This is self-evident.

The sound of laughter continued until about a magic moment later, Fang Tian stepped into the council hall again.

"My lord, after discussion, we decided to choose the mountain goods business. This time, it wasn't West Germany who spoke, it was Owen.

Sid is a fourth-level martial artist, the former eldest of the martial artists of the Red Rock Town Mercenary Regiment, and now, Owen has also been promoted to the fourth level. Let's not talk about the future, let's just say that now, as the leader of the Maple Forest Mercenary Group, Owen also has the qualifications to stand side by side and even surpass West Germany.

Now, it's only natural for Owen to stand up and represent Redstone. (To be continued.) )
