MTL - Inside and Outside World-Chapter 41 :poetry

"This wave is not a loss." Yan Luo thought to himself.

The emotional accumulation in the Wuxin puppet quickly rose to more than 70 points, and it was still rising.

"Oh…"

A lady's eyes lit up and she moaned like an aria.

The Greeks originally admired the beauty of the human body. Yan Luo is an Easterner, and in the eyes of Westerners, his appearance has a certain feminine slenderness. The Greeks of this era liked masculinity and femininity—in Athens, many handsome teenagers were called "the beloved", and even the pursuit of the young "beloved" was considered a civil right.

Achilles, the most revered hero in Homer's epic, is a beautiful boy with a fake mother.

Yan Luo's complexion is as lustrous as ivory, and the muscle contour gives people the feeling of being strong and powerful, but the lines are soft, not exaggerated, and for Westerners, his appearance is incomparably delicate...

This time, the entire square was lit up!

"I saw divinity."

Someone exclaimed.

It is now noon, the sun shines down, and the fair skin is coated with a layer of light gold, Yan Luo seems to be standing in a halo.

"Apollo!"

Suddenly someone called out such a name.

Apollo is one of the most famous gods in Greece, the **** of the sun, the **** of art, the **** of medicine, the **** of prophecy... He is considered to be the most versatile and handsome male god. In "Homer's Ode", he is even Known as the most beautiful man in the world, the prototype of beauty.

Everyone found that this dazzling golden youth looked like a **** descended into the world.

"Apollo!"

Someone else followed suit and shouted more and more, louder and louder, and the voices almost merged into a torrent.

You feel strong emotions:

Excitement +1, love +1, excitement +1...

The 100 emotional points accumulated by the Wuxin puppet are full. This time there are more than 10 types of emotions, which are more complicated than last time. Making a persona will almost certainly fail, but Yan Luo doesn't care and still chooses to fuse.

"Snapped."

Another failure.

"Persona Fragments: 13%"

"Gudong..."

Euripides was so angry and angry that his eyes rolled down on the ground—he was stunned.

The consul of Pericles, the elders, and members of parliament looked at each other. Originally, this time it was to impress the Chinese envoys and show the prestige of Greece and Athens. The people of the state seem to have rebelled, and they are actually cheering for the youth of China?

In fact, this is not a rebellion, but Yan Luo's taking off, it can be said that all the Greeks who dissed him before, and some people's attitudes have changed, which can be regarded as attracting a wave of passers-by fans.

"Brother Wang... Tell me, if I take it off too, will it be so popular?" Zhu Xiaoyong said in Chinese to Wang Dongwei, who was almost petrified beside him.

After finally stabilizing his emotions, Wang Dongwei looked over with an "indifferent" expression that can be used as an emoji.

"Perhaps the Greeks have special aesthetic hobbies..." Zhu Xiaoyong said unconvinced, he thought for a while and then said, "In the Tang Dynasty, fat was considered beautiful. If I travel back to that era, maybe it will be the beauty of the Tang Dynasty. What about the beautiful man!"

Wang Dongwei: "..."

Yan Luo showed his body to the fullest, until the Wuxin puppet couldn't absorb the strong emotion, and then he put on the straight train and deep clothes again.

Several soldiers ran over and carried Euripides, who was unconscious, and Herodotus, who was sitting on the ground with a pensive face, down. Another master of tragedy, Sophocles, took the opportunity to use a stick of ash branch to kill Euripides. On the **** of Des's mortal enemy, he knocked firmly twice.

"Trash," he cursed.

The old man looked at Yan Luo.

"Boy."

Sophocles is now more than 70 years old. It is a miracle that he lived to this age in BC. After all, the average life expectancy of Greeks is only 3 to 40 years. But this old guy, in fact, will not die until he is 90 years old, he is an out-and-out birthday star.

Now, far away from death, he seems to be trembling, but in fact he is full of energy and extremely powerful.

This old man is considered a legend in Athens. He has participated in 30 drama competitions in his life and won 24 championships!

"What you said just now, shame is human nature, even barbarians will not show their bodies... You satirized us Greeks, showing our bodies, not ashamed, but proud, but why did you take off your clothes just now? This behavior, Doesn't it contradict your words?"

Yan Luo stared at the master of tragedy, and said in a flat tone: "This is to show you a truth, my beautiful body is willing to hide under the clothes, the beauty of our China, the beauty is inside, the beauty is in the connotation ! After the nudity, I immediately put on the clothes, because of the shame."

Some Athenians discussed with each other in low voices, is it wrong to think that nakedness is beautiful all the time?

Some people are talking about "Huaxia" and are full of curiosity about this country they have never heard of.

Sophocles was not discouraged by the failure of the interrogation. This is also expected. From the sidelines just now, he could feel the difficulty of this young man—he walked around Yan Luo on crutches, trying to find and belittle the other party. Open the breakthrough of the situation.

He saw the jade on Yan Luo's waist.

"What it is?"

The old man sneered and said, "You actually wear a stone on your body?"

"This is not stone, but jade." The "jade" mentioned by Yan Luo has no vocabulary in ancient Greek. There are words for stone, marble, chalcedony, gemstone and other objects in Greece, but they have not yet appeared. The title of jade.

So he directly said Chinese: "yu"

"In our Chinese culture, jade represents a gentleman, and a gentleman is a scholar with moral character. As the saying goes: People who have virtue are jade, people who have no virtue are stones, and people who are lacking in virtue are stubborn stones."

"Can a broken stone represent character? It's ridiculous! Our marble in Athens is ten thousand times better than this stone! Look at those magnificent and magnificent palaces that even the gods will admire, and the sculptors spend their painstaking efforts to carve them, and then they are decorated by artists. statue."

Sophocles pointed to the temple on this hill.

I have to say that the architecture and sculptures of ancient Greece are really shocking.

"Warm and moist, it is benevolence; honest and not awkward, it is righteousness; hanging down like a pendant, it is ritual; knocking, its sound is clear and clear, and it lasts long, and it is joyful; flaws and goodness meet each other, loyalty; meticulous and chestnut Wisdom is also found in the Yin and Pang; Faith is found in Fu Yin and Pang Da; Virtue is also found in Guizhang; Qi is like a white rainbow, which is the sky; spirit permeating the mountains and rivers, is the earth; there is no one who is not precious in the world, the Tao.”

What Yan Luo said was a passage in "Book of Rites · Employment".

After speaking in Chinese, he translated it again in Greek.

Benevolence, loyalty, wisdom, honesty... These simple moral concepts are very attractive in this era, and many scholars secretly nodded. Isn't that what democratic Athens pursues and praises for human nature?

Unexpectedly, what "jade" actually contains such a profound truth.

"Papa papa..."

Some people applauded what Yan Luo said.

I have to say that a good face and a good figure still have advantages.

Just like a sentence: handsome people feel handsome when they play glass balls, and ugly people feel like they are shoveling **** when they play golf... Yan Luo has such a face, which is strong and soft in the eyes of the Greeks, perfect He also said some philosophical words, which immediately aroused the admiration of many people.

The emotion inside the Wuxin puppet is rising rapidly.

Although not many people applauded, the applause was extremely harsh in Sophocles' ears.

"Humph…"

The old man was extremely displeased that he, as a Greek, supported the Gentiles! He was still an insult to Greek civilization, and he swore secretly in his heart that he would completely overwhelm this young man. He decided to show what he was best at: poetry.

"If a country wants civilization to flourish, there must be a prerequisite, that is, materials can provide the soil for the birth of culture. Prosperous Athens is such a land. We will water it with democracy, rationality, and wisdom to bloom brilliant flowers of civilization... And among civilizations, the most beautiful thing is undoubtedly poetry.”

He intoned:

"Wait for the fate of Pluto to show up,

At that time, there were no wedding songs, strings and dances~www.novelbuddy.com~ Death finally came.

A man had better not be born;

Once born, next best,

Where did you come from, and where do you go back as soon as possible.

When he passed his absurd youth,

What suffering can he avoid?

Jealousy, rifts, quarrels, fights, and carnage ensued.

At last, that hateful old age comes,

Aged and sick, with no relatives or friends. "

This is a poem in Sophocles' play "Oedipus at Colonus", and it is also his proudest and most satisfying poem. The old man looked at Yan Luo with eyes full of fighting spirit: " Can you Huaxia create such a poem?"

He has reasons to be proud. This poem describes the helplessness of life and the impermanence of fate, while lamenting the old age, which is thought-provoking.

"Huh huh huh..."

A large number of Athenian citizens applauded, much louder than the applause Yan Luo had just received.

"This poem is really touching."

"The best poems are those that resonate with others. Sophocles is indeed the treasure of our Greeks."

"That Chinese envoy, will he have nothing to say now? After all, poetry is the precipitation of civilization. A barbaric empire like Persia cannot produce such poetry."

…

Some scholars have discussed it one after another.

However, this Chinese envoy defeated Herodotus and Euripides, even if he lost to Sophocles, he was proud enough.

Seeing the old man raised his crutches and accepted the applause from the people around him, some even cheered, Yan Luo shook his head: "Is my Chinese poetry culture comparable to that of your Greece?"

"In that case, let me read two lines of poetry."
