Mystery Makes Me Strong

In a small courtyard, in front of a chess game.

Two men in ancient costumes sat facing each other, one old and one middle-aged.

They are chatting.

"Sure enough, only by studying things can we know. In the end, this road has passed." The old man looked at the complicated chessboard and said leisurely.

"Mr. Xu, I still don't understand why we didn't take this path ourselves? In the end, it was a group of people with the power of gods and ghosts who learned modern knowledge of things from Xizhou to reverse the country's decline. The situation." The middle-aged man took a breath and let out a long sigh.

"I have carefully read various modern theories, and in the end I still choose to believe in geographical determinism. The terrain of our Eastern Continent is suitable for great unification, but in the end, success will be unified, and failure will be unified. It's just that there are aliens in this world. The so-called weather is not as good as the location, The location is not as good as the people, but in the end it was the people who changed everything." The old man said lightly.

"The king of Qin sweeps Liuhe, the cars are on the same track, and the books are on the same text. This is a great thing. Why do you say that 'defeat is unified'?" The middle-aged man was puzzled.

"The consequence of an emperor is to control and suppress new ideas, demand stability, and oppose innovation. Therefore, they finally chose Confucianism, which maintains the upper and lower levels and emphasizes the cultivation of people's hearts, instead of Mohism, which loves both non-aggression and innovative tools."

The old man spoke slowly,

"And Mohism once split into two branches: one of them focuses on epistemology, logic, geometry, geometric optics, statics and other disciplines, which is exactly the same as Xizhou science. This proves that we Dongzhou people also have scientific thinking."

"The Mohism declined because their ideas were based on the bottom-level small handicraftsmen and the poor. But under the situation of unifying the world, the biggest interest is the land, and the biggest conflict is the annexation of the land. Who can guarantee the interests of the landlords annexing the land and ability, whose theory will win."

"Confucianism has maintained the interests of the landlords very well by relying on the ethics of principles and principles. Maintaining the principles and principles of the upper and lower levels, maintaining the three principles and the five principles, the land seized has theoretical support, and there is no need to worry about being snatched back by the poor unless there is a war."

"The Mohist advocates loving the world at the same time. If you love the people in the world, how can you seize the land of the people in the world? On the contrary, Confucianism advocates the difference between closeness and estrangement, and relatives should hide from each other. Seizing land for one's own family is a matter of course and a matter of course."

"It turns out that the Tai Shigong once said that the prosperity of the world is for profit, and the chaos of the world is for profit. The Confucianism we worship does not talk about profit on the surface, but in the bones, there is not a word that does not say profit. They win Losing the world, losing the future of the whole family, talking about building a heart for the world, building a life for the people... In the end, it's all about building the land for yourself." The middle-aged man finally understood.

"Song Sheng, you have a good sense of understanding. Unfortunately, in this era, we can't find our own place. We can only talk about the past and the present, lamenting the past life, just to comfort ourselves." The old man sighed and gave birth again. .

…………

The two of them naturally didn't know that Wu Liansong was looking at them outside the courtyard.

"Look at these two people, which one is not hardworking, which one is not down-to-earth, which one is not admired by future generations, and which one is not walking the most correct path in the eyes of future generations? So they were resurrected."

"However, they themselves know that they have not been resurrected, and they are only resurrected in your memory."

The devil's voice was ringing in Wu Liansong's mind.

This made him a little shaken.

Could it be that my persistence all along was wrong?

Could it be that my long-standing expectations were all vain?

"You say so much, but how do you know that they are not the original ones?"

"Listen to what they say, look at what they do, and feel their hearts, and you will understand that they are not the real ones in history, but the ones you imagined." The devil induced.

"The prosperity of the world is all for profit; the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit..." Wu Liansong seriously thought about what Mr. Song said just now.

There is also Mr. Xu who analyzed why Dongzhou could not embark on the road of science independently.

Although he didn't completely agree with it, he had to say that what the other party said made sense.

But those words, they would never say them in history, they can only say them after being nurtured by modern civilization.

Just as the devil said, are they really their original selves?

No one can be sure of this.

…………

Wen Rensheng was preparing for the resurrection ceremony, but while preparing, Wu Liansong came to him.

"I heard that there is a way to reverse time." He said.

"Maybe there used to be, but I'm afraid it's gone now." Wen Rensheng replied.

He understood what was going on as soon as he heard it.

Old Wu probably wanted to save his wife by reversing time.

But if we do that, it will lead to a time paradox, so the theory of parallel space appears to solve this paradox.

That is to say, when you travel to the past, you just go to another time and space, and the timeline of this time and space cannot be changed, so there is no grandmother paradox.

"If we can't reverse time, but only resurrect the soul, how can we ensure that the resurrection is the original her, not a newly born consciousness?" Wu Liansong expressed his concern.

Wen Rensheng was silent.

If it were another person, he would say, do you think sacrifices and funerals are for the dead?

No, the dead can't see all of this, with their eyes closed, they can't perceive anything.

This is for the living, so that the living can die with peace of mind.

Likewise, the resurrection is the same.

The so-called resurrection is nothing more than the resurrection of "you" in social relations.

As long as other people think that you are resurrected, and after resurrection, your behavior patterns and memories are basically the same as before, then it is you.

It is simply impossible to verify a person "you are still you".

"Who did you listen to say this?" He felt that with Old Wu's temperament, it was impossible to consider such a profound philosophical issue, and he must have been fooled.

"I..." Wu Liansong fell silent.

Sure enough, the devil must have done it.

As for why the devil didn't bewitch Wu Shanshan, who was more important, it was because there were several people in the other party's body, and they were not afraid of this kind of bewitching at all.

Only an honest person like Old Wu can easily fall into this unsolvable puzzle.

Sincere people are easy to get into the horns, and they can't get out after getting in.

The demon must have no concrete evidence, but the other party can confuse Old Wu as long as they take some ambiguous things.

"You don't have to worry about this. I can assure you that the resurrected one is the person you want to see. I have seen countless mysteries, and I will never lie to you." Wen Rensheng affirmed directly.

For this kind of honest person, don't try to reason with him, the more you talk, the more crooked you are, just use your personality as a guarantee.

"Well, I believe what you say." Wu Liansong immediately relaxed.

In fact, he just wanted some spiritual comfort.

"Well, that's it. You've been thinking a lot lately, drink more tea to refresh your mind." Wen Rensheng said a few words of comfort and continued to make preparations.

Wu Liansong nodded and left.

"Damn it, you human beings are really hard to deal with, you might as well kill and count." A voice rang in Wen Rensheng's ear.

Sure enough, the devil is playing tricks.

Wen Rensheng activated the mysterious eagle eye and scanned his surroundings.

Then he saw an imp.

With a big belly, he held an iron ball and looked at himself fiercely there.

"A little devil can sneak in and follow you like a shadow. You must have a treasure on you." Wen Rensheng said.

"You can see me? It's impossible," the little devil suddenly panicked. "The commander said that this treasure has the effect of master-level stealth, making me invisible to everyone."

"Grandmaster stealth?" Wen Rensheng reached out and grabbed the little devil.

He didn't kill the other party immediately, but searched and finally found a pendant from the other party.

The whole body of the pendant was gray and white. After it was in his hand, he used Yuanli to check it out.

"Sneak Pendant: Disposable."

"Mystery degree: 999."

"Mysterious Composition: Grandmaster Stealth."

Disposable, and yes, real treasures, won't give a single cannon fodder.
