It's already Saturday and Sunday, and it's time to rest, so Xiao Xie recruited a minibus through the local area, everyone took the car over, just all the way to see, every time you go to a place to rest and rest, eat something, and see the local customs, first went to Trier, this place is the birthplace of the great Karl Horse Ax!

Everyone presented him with a bouquet of flowers, a low house, shaded by green trees, Xu Le still drew a sketch!

Then, I actually ran to the port of Antwerp, Belgium in the north, and went to see the tulip trading market, Xu Le was an eye-opener, especially to see the process of these ports and transactions at close range, the so-called decreasing auction method is more special, and then entered Germanic Bremen, and then to Hanover, just in time for the local machinery and equipment exhibition, Xu Le liked it at once, all of them have some things made by the core, electronic, assembly lines, and some clumsy industrial robots, so that he is really happy!

Finally arrived in Leipzig on a Sunday evening, and everyone stayed in a hotel opposite the university!

Xu Le asked Arthur to sort out his book list as soon as possible, and he started writing again!

Now, Xu Le is worried again, he still has to dismantle the book, even the compressed version of the Rizhilu has reached 700,000 words, and the four books have reached an average of 300,000 words!

This is still the situation that he has been compressing!

Xu Le still split it into the previous education, academic, art, science and technology, agriculture, environment, economy seven parts, so finished and re-sorted out almost less than 200,000 words per book, and finally waited back to almost 300,000 words, maybe the daily record will continue to compress it will have to be about one million, and finally divided into upper, middle and lower, a total of ten copies, sold in sets, Xu Le's pricing will directly detonate the market, 100 yuan and ten copies!

Then he sent all the manuscripts to Ma Xu, and asked him to start checking, and the other thing is about how to divide the chapters and some names and the like, this must be really professional!

Anyway, there's no hurry, let someone on his side get it first!

Then I began to read all the books of Sartre and Camus, and the simplest understanding of the so-called existentialism is that existence is reasonable, and this theory can be explained for both physical objects and myths; In addition, the most famous sentence is "others are hell", any person is the hell of others, the best understanding of this sentence is actually that any person will become a potential friend and enemy of others, but whether it is an enemy or a friend is actually consuming the energy of others!

There is nothing wrong with it from a purely philosophical point of view, but from the point of view of social relations it leads to the darkening of society!

After reading it, Xu Le sorted out his reading notes, put them in the academic chapter, and finally cleaned them up, and started to have breakfast in the morning and then went to school!

The University of Leipzig is the third oldest university in Germany, and the most famous place here is the place where Mr. Cai Yuanpei studied, which was also proposed by Xu Le!

When the two old men standing at the gate of the school and a few middle-aged people smiled at Pei Zhongzhang, Pei Zhongzhang hurriedly introduced Xu Le, "This is Gu Xiaobin, this is Shi Weihan, one is a professor of Sinology at the University of Bourne, and the other is a professor at the University of Goettingen and the main seat of Germanic Sinology", Xu Le hurriedly shook hands and thanked them for being here!

Then Xu Le introduced everyone to each other in German, and the people over there really didn't expect Xu Le to be so good at German!

First of all, I was taken around in the study, very beautiful, very ancient, with a history of nearly 600 years, profound heritage, strong humanistic atmosphere, there are many masters, such as Leibniz, Nietzsche, Goethe, Jungger, Saussure linguist, Ranke historian (one of the important founders of modern Western historiography), Husserl philosopher, the father of phenomenology, Liebknecht, Mr. Gu Hongming, Mr. Cai Yuanpei, Mr. Lin Yutang, Mr. Zhou Peiyuan and others in China.

Then everyone was invited to the conference room, they all knew the content of the exchange, it was very clear that Xu Le was awarded the title of honorary academician in the name of the Germanic Han Society, Xu Le was embarrassed, Xu Le authorized Professor Zong's "The Theory of the Universe in Chinese History" here, except for the Chinese version and the Tibetan version, and then began to discuss the archaeological matter, everyone signed, and then the discussion association, Arthur sent the manuscript to everyone, confirming that there was no problem, In the end, I started a half-day discussion about Xu Le's two articles, the second day and the third day of the morning were here to study, Xu Le mainly studied the philosophy here, the Germanic philosophy is the earliest philosophical germination of the whole continent, and it is also an important birthplace, here is to talk about Xu Le and deepen the understanding of philosophy, at the same time he also went to listen to some small language things, and added three small languages to learn, his language mastery is almost sixty!

At the same time, reading books in the school at night is purely philosophical, linguistic and phenomenological stuff, and I am deeply inspired!

On the fourth day, I got up very early in the morning and went to Berlin, passed by Potsdam to have a look, and got on the plane at 10 o'clock to fly to Marlo, Italy! At 12 o'clock at noon, I landed directly at the University of Rome, where I was received by a special teacher, first conferring an honorary doctorate on Xu Le, and Xu Le authorized and donated books in other languages of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", followed by a day and a half of discussion, exchange and study!

On Saturday and Sunday, Xu Le and everyone went to Pisa to see the Leaning Tower, and then went to Milan, Xu Le bought some local specialties, and finally sent them back!

I also saw the historical center of Rome, the historical center of Florence, and the historical monuments of the Renaissance in Urbino, Xu Le continued to paint these castles, and also went to see Leonardo da Vinci's famous painting "The Last Supper", Xu Le originally wanted to go to the Vatican Gang by himself, but in the end he gave up, he felt that he was not ready, he had a huge premonition, he would definitely collide with this place!

Venice did not go, a trip to Milan was enough, and finally everyone came to the famous "Pompeii"!

When Xu Le stood on the high hill and looked down, a sense of sadness quickly filled his chest!

According to the narrator, it was built in the fourth century B.C. and destroyed in the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 A.D. However, due to the fact that they were buried by volcanic ash, the street houses were relatively intact, and archaeological excavations have continued since 1748.

As early as the 8th century B.C., Pompeii, a small fishing village based on a natural harbor in the Mediterranean, gradually developed into a city. A few decades later, it became the second largest city after the ancient Roman city of Italy.

It is 300 kilometers from Rome in the north, the famous island of Sicily in the west, and Sia and North Africa in the south. Pompeii's miraculous Temple of the Sun, the Colosseum, the magnificent Grand Theater, the Wizard's Hall, the novelty of the steam room, and numerous shops and entertainment venues attracted many wealthy merchants and aristocrats in the Mediterranean city-states. In addition, the strange magma soil, volcanic rocks and geothermal hot springs brought by the eruptions of Navesuvius volcano in the north of the city for hundreds of millions of years.

Mount Vesuvius is 1,277 meters above sea level, according to geologists, it is a typical active volcano, it has been erupting for thousands of years, Pompeii is built on the foundation of lava hardened after an eruption of Mount Vesuvius in ancient times. However, before the beginning of the Common Era, the famous geographer Strabo concluded that Vesuvius was an extinct volcano based on its topography, and the people at that time believed his argument and did not care about the volcano. The sides of the volcano are planted with green crops, and the plains are dotted with lemon and orange groves, as well as other orchards such as vineyards. Little did they know that this "extinct volcano" was brewing a devastating catastrophe.

On February 8, 62 A.D., a powerful earthquake struck the area, causing the destruction of many of the buildings we see in Pompeii today. After the earthquake, the Pompeians rebuilt the city and pursued more luxury.

On August 24, 79 A.D., Mount Vesuvius erupted suddenly. Six meters of volcanic ash mercilessly wiped Pompeii off the face of the earth.

In 1594, a stone with the inscription "Pompeii" engraved on it was discovered during the construction of a drinking canal on the banks of the Sarno River; In 1707, while digging a well in a garden at the foot of Mount Vesuvius, three richly dressed statues of women were excavated. People thought that these were nothing more than artifacts from ancient ruins on the coast of the Gulf of Naples, and no one realized that an ancient city was now completely sealed in the volcanic rock chips that covered nearly six or five hectares under their feet.

In 1748, people exhumed human remains wrapped in volcanic ash and realized that the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD had buried a city.

They were led into the establishment, and walked along the street to watch, Xu Le's mind was overturned, and from time to time it seemed that something was about to flash, but he couldn't rush out, he pinched his head and followed everyone to see!

The ancient city is slightly rectangular, surrounded by city walls, city gates are set on all sides, the streets in the city are criss-crossed, and the layout of the neighborhood is like a chessboard.

Important buildings surround the municipal square, including the Temple of Jupiter, the Temple of Apollo, the Great Hall, the Baths, the shopping mall, etc., as well as the theater, gymnasium, Colosseum, aqueduct and other essential facilities of Roman municipal buildings. There are many workshops and shops, all set up in neighborhoods according to trades, along with a large number of residential buildings.

Xu Le looked at the wealthy homes that generally had gardens, and the main houses were arranged around a central patio. There are classical colonnades and marble statues in the garden, and the hall and corridor are full of frescoes, which are important relics of classical frescoes. These frescoes are of a high level, and after they were discovered, they had a great influence on European neoclassical art.

Pompeii is located on the southern slope of Mount Vesuvius, surrounded by plains. The plains are full of lemon groves and vineyards, and they are full of golden light. Surrounded by stone walls, the town is spectacular with seven gates and fourteen towers. Two straight avenues form the main road in the city, giving the city a tic-tac-toe shape. The city is divided into nine districts, each with a mix of streets and alleys. The streets are paved with ten-meter-wide stone slabs and lined with sidewalks. The pavement of the streets and alleys is also paved with stones. The widest street in the city is called Fengyu Street, with ruts on the stone pavement that have been run over by former vehicles, and the streets are lined with taverns, shops, and residences.

Fengyu Street leads directly to the Grand Plaza. The main square is walled on three sides and is rectangular, and many magnificent buildings are built around the square. It was the political, economic and religious center of Pompeii. The square is decorated with statues of famous people, and is flanked by two temples dedicated to the two giant gods of Roman mythology, Jupiter, the king of the gods, and Apollo, the god of the sun.

To the southeast of the square is the Great Hall, the tallest building in Pompeii, which houses the court and town hall. There is also a two-storey commercial building where locally produced wines, glassware, oriental spices, gemstones, and Chinese silk can be negotiated.

To the northeast of the square is the shopping mall. There are many shops and a wide variety of products. Someone scrawled on the wall: "To make money is to have fun". In a bar room there is an L-shaped marble counter where a variety of drinks are sold. On the walls of the small hotel, you can also see written price lists, the number of arrears of guests, etc. In the oven of a bakery, a piece of baked bread was also found, the bread was in good shape and the baker's name was printed on it.

In the southeast corner of Pompeii, there are two amphitheaters. One is used for plays, and the other is a small recital hall dedicated to comedy and musical performances. There is also a magnificent arena that can accommodate 20,000 people. It was the site of bloody fights among gladiators. Elaborate swords and helmets were found here, and the walls were also inscribed with the names of gladiator stars, such as "Galades, Great Hero, Heartbreaking", "Frix Will Fight the Bear", and many more.

In Pompeii, there are also many residences of the rich. Most of the gates of these mansions have marble columns and carved gatehouses. The entire building is built around a main hall. The main hall is cool and can reach a height of up to ten meters. There is an opening in the roof from which rainwater flows into a marble basin inside. In the room surrounding the main hall, there is a particularly spacious room, which is both an office and a living room, where the host receives visitors and lives and rests. Many rooms have lifelike murals painted on the walls and mosaics on the floors.

In one of the mansions, a world-famous mosaic was found: a picture of Alexander the Great fighting with Darius III of Persia. The painting is 6.5 meters wide and 3.8 meters high, and is inlaid with about 1.5 million pieces of stained glass and marble.

Pompeii in the 2nd century BC had a food market, and the remains of the sale of goods can still be seen. There is a grain market in the city that is still under construction, but before it was built, it was swallowed up by volcanic magma, and many large clay pots and stone mills were piled up inside. Located on the east side of the city center, the Omazia Building is a large comprehensive market. At the top of the outer compartment are two large walls facing each other is the auction market, which is set up for the auctioneer and the bidder, and the inner compartment is a large laundry. It is also a wool market. Walking in the empty public market, you can imagine the bustling commodity trading scene here in the past.

There are three public baths in Pompeii, the oldest of which is the Baths of Stabia. Built in the second century B.C., with strip rooms, heated baths, swimming pools, etc., this quaint bathhouse is the best preserved of the three remaining baths in Pompeii. The columns in the bathroom corridor and the detailed sculptures on the interior walls include a marble tub in the bathroom. The floor of the double-layer design structure allows the steam to rise from below to maintain the temperature in the bath. It is said that most of the people who came and went here were politicians and important people in the city.

Pompeii has several theaters, the same amphitheater as Rome's. The amphitheater, which was used for gladiatorial battles, was built five or a year earlier than the famous Colosseum. Gladiatorial fights, including between man and man and beast, are mainly performed here, and sometimes sporting events are held. The outer wall of the amphitheater is more than two meters high, and there are many murals of hunting and competition painted on the wall, reflecting the living conditions of the people in those days. There are two other theaters in the city, one large and one small, which are mostly used for theater and music performances.

Xu Le followed everyone along the way, but his mood and demeanor were in a complex state, everyone could feel it, and he didn't say a word after entering here, and that sad demeanor was interpreted by everyone as a kind of sadness for the disaster here!

But Xiaobai didn't feel it, he didn't know what Xu Le had in mind, but he knew what he had been trying to think of?

When the narrator whispered to everyone, "Do you have a tip?"

Xu Le gave him five moldy gold coins without saying a word, and the narrator said very happily, "Okay, I'll take you to a place, don't tell the outside world!"

I saw the docent leading everyone through the paths, and finally came to an archaeological site that was being excavated and cleaned up, which was fenced off, and the docent gave the leader a moldy gold coin, and everyone was quickly taken in!

When Xu Le saw the objects that looked like stones in this large house, his eyes moistened, and there were various shapes, and then the tears in his eyes erupted, like a volcanic eruption, more like a flood eruption, he looked at those struggling bodies and the appearance of blocking, and thought of the moment of the volcanic eruption, countless victims were killed in the pumice of the volcano, poisonous gas, and volcanic ash. The volcanic ash enveloped their bodies, solidified their final posture, and recorded all the details of the Pompeian's deathbed. Most of these people died with their possessions, and some of the victims had idols in their hands, indicating that they did not forget to ask the gods for help in times of distress.

Xu Le's mind flashed the scene of monstrous floods and volcanic eruptions, crying and crying, sorrowful, crying fathers and mothers, praying to the gods, protecting property and family, especially in his mind, a mother seemed to be covering her child with her own body, wanting to hold up a piece of the sky for him from disasters, and the great woman supported the human brilliance of maternal love and motherhood!

Xu Le's tears could no longer be controlled, he squatted in the corner of the wall and cried with a whimper!

He looked at these humans who had passed away for nearly 2000 years, as if he could feel their crying, and his chest felt more about what had happened to the land in western China, and the senior brother looked at Xu Le, "Xiaole, what's wrong?"

Xu Le grabbed his brother's hand, "Senior brother, I remembered, I remembered", the senior brother was stunned for a while, "What do you remember?"

"The Great Flood"!

Xu Le said hurriedly, "Jishi Mountain, Lajia Village, Great Flood, Great Women"!

His language is not a sentence, but this passage doesn't seem to have any meaning to other people, but listening to Pei Zhongzhang's ears is Weng's voice, he was stunned for a moment, he thought Xu Le had given up, and now he knew that Xu Le just seemed to have really forgotten something!

Everyone has never seen Xu Le's expression, especially when they heard some of his unfinished words, they were stunned one by one, and suddenly everyone was a little excited, because these people already knew on a small scale that at the end of last year and the beginning of this year, Xu Le had a new discovery in Yinxu, and this discovery was said to be a supplement and correction to Yinxu, and his status in the archaeological community has now skyrocketed!

That shows that his judgment and intuition are extremely terrifying, which will bring new information to the archaeological community in China!

Xu Le leaned against the wall and slowly stood up, what he said to these construction workers in his boots, only Arthur knew, he wanted to touch these people!

Xu Le took out some moldy gold coins and handed them to everyone, those people nodded, Xu Le asked everyone to touch it, everyone carefully took the gloves they handed over, only Xu Le was freehanded, he had to feel all this with his own hands!

When his hands were on the limestone, it just felt dirty, and in the end his heart was only left with sorrow and monstrous resentment, which was a curse before he died, a curse on the heavens, a curse on the earth, a curse on everything in the world!

In fact, these "human fossils" are not fossils, there are no longer any wreckage, due to the temperature and chemical properties of volcanic ash and other eruptions, it is difficult to preserve the dead bodies, many of the dead were wrapped in volcanic ash at that time, and the corpses decomposed after a long time, but the volcanic ash left a very hard empty shell, but Xu Le could feel the pain they endured at the last moment of the disaster, the tragic situation at that time!

Xu Le couldn't stand these things that were equivalent to stones when he touched them, he quickly stood up and walked out!
