Of course, this story is not original to Sui Xiong, he is an artist, not a philosopher, and he cannot write such a deep story. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

As for the original source of the story, he naturally doesn't know - he can read art history and be drowsy, and if you ask him to read "Zhuangzi" and pick up the book and not fall asleep within ten minutes, it is a miracle.

The reason why he knew this story came from the teaching of a teacher during his school days.

At that time, his academic performance was relatively poor, and the possibility of being admitted to a key high school was about zero, his parents were very worried, and he himself was also very distressed. Then a teacher who had a good relationship with him advised him to give full play to his advantage of loving art and having a certain talent, and from now on he would work hard to practice painting, and then be admitted to an art school in the future.

"Is this a reliable method? Can you really support yourself in the future by drawing?" the parents were a little worried.

"The situation in our country will get better and better, the economy will become more and more developed, and the demand for art will increase. As long as you draw well, you should not worry about income. The teacher analyzed.

So Sui Xiong went to learn to paint, but it was not easy to learn painting, he studied for half a semester, he felt that his progress was limited, but he spent a lot of time, he felt very hard and there was no reward, so that he doubted life.

"Am I not talented in drawing?" he asked.

"Most artists don't really have a lot of talent. The teacher who taught him how to draw said, "In this society, the most gifted people tend to become scientists." The profession of an artist first depends on love and perseverance. Especially as a painter, talent is not as important as you think. ”

"But...... What should I do if I can't learn well?"

"I've never seen a person who is serious about learning to paint not learn well, it's just a matter of learning speed. The painting teacher said, "Qi Baishi, a master of Chinese painting, did not become famous until his later years." ”

Sui Xiong thought about it, but he still felt that "he didn't become famous until his old age" seemed a bit of a problem, so he doubted life even more.

Because he was in a trance all day long, the teacher told him this story.

At the end of the story, the teacher said, "Human life is very short, those who are lucky can live to be hundreds of years old, and those who are unlucky may die in their early thirties." So it doesn't really make much sense to think about things that are far away. After all, none of us know whether we will be short-lived bugs or long-lived turtles. ”

"So what? what should I do?" asked Sui Xiong.

"First make sure you can support yourself, and then, do what you want. The teacher smiled and said, "Life is so short, no one knows how long they will live." So instead of worrying about whether you can make a difference, it is better to do the things in front of you well. Whether it's a small insect or a turtle or a sacred tree, as long as you live seriously, there is no difference in size. ”

Strictly speaking, this is a pot of chicken soup for the soul. If Sui Xiong was twenty-five years old, he would definitely not be poured by this pot of chicken soup, but at the age of fifteen, he was still very innocent, so he believed it and continued to work hard to learn to paint.

Later, he was admitted to art school, then he became an amateur illustrator, and then ...... And he crossed over.

But in any case, the teacher told him at the beginning, "As long as you live seriously, there is no difference between big and small in life", it is indeed very inspiring, Sui Xiong once used these words to encourage Wal, who was worried that he would never be able to catch up with the previous generation of sun gods and never be able to take revenge, and now Walr used these words to encourage Owen, who was confused and did not know where to go, and the effect was good.

Owen was originally distressed - as the Son of the God of Scholars, he didn't care whether he believed or not, and whether he believed or didn't believe it would affect the God of Scholars when necessary. However, now that the god of scholars has fallen, and his priesthood has been inherited by the god of knowledge and culture, the value of his own existence as a holy son has disappeared, and his life in the past ten years seems to have been denied, and the meaning of the whole person's existence seems to be gone......

No matter how honest he is, his heart can't help but be full of complaints. It feels like a toy, or maybe my life is just a joke, being played around by a god on top.

What is the meaning of such a life?

At this time, he heard this teaching of Wall, and his eyes lit up.

It is true that mortals are insignificant compared to the gods, but the value of life lies only in oneself, and what does it have to do with others?

Whether it's a turtle or a sacred tree, no matter how long they live, does it have anything to do with short-lived insects?

Even if the little worm is eaten by the birds immediately, at least it lives seriously and has its own life.

Small as yourself, as long as you live seriously, this life is valuable, not an empty toy!

Therefore, his heart suddenly opened up, and he was full of reverence for this god of knowledge and culture.

Completely different from the unreachable god of scholars, this majesty is the great being he really wants to follow!

Not only that, but this majesty showed him a magnificent world beyond imagination, which filled him with yearning.

As long as you follow behind this majesty, maybe even if you are as small as yourself, you can really see a wider and more magnificent world, and live a more wonderful life!

"Your Majesty, please let me follow in your footsteps!" he said sincerely, "I have understood the value of my life, but I also want to see a more magnificent scene, to see a more distant future!"

Woll smiled and helped him to his feet.

"From this day forward, you are my pastor. He said, "I promise you, if you can reach the pinnacle of the Heights, I will help you step into the realm of legend, and elevate you to the elect, and grant you immortality." ”

This promise was extremely heavy, and the elders of the Hart family, as well as the high-ranking members of the Church of the God of Scholars, were all moved.

To exalt the elect is to confer a glimmer of divinity. This is a big loss for the gods, so most of them are reluctant to promote the elect.

For example, the God of Scholars, who has not exalted a single elect over the years.

In contrast, Walr, who has just been promoted to one elect and now promises to promote another, feels a bit of an outlier.

But this did not affect the faith and reverence of the new believers in Him, on the contrary, their faith became stronger.

Although faith is based on ideas rather than interests, a generous and generous deity is certainly more easily loved by people than a stingy deity.

In life, profit is also a necessary thing.

By the time Woel left, the people of Greytower who had believed in the god of scholars had all been converted and became his devout followers. (To be continued.) )
