MTL - Inside and Outside World-Chapter 48 : The Olympics is coming

In the next few days, the city of Athens was completely immersed in a carnival of thoughts. The "Tao Te Ching" spread by Socrates undoubtedly caused a great sensation in the city-in this era of Athens, citizens are free and just looking for do something.

The Tao Te Ching handed down by the sage Taishang Laojun comes from Chinese civilization!

Gradually, on the streets of Athens, there were more "dao friends" who raised one hand and saluted after meeting. This is Zhu Xiaoyong's good deed. This guy, showing off, talked about the world and some novels about immortality and cultivation with a few guards and slaves.

The results spread.

From mortals to immortals step by step, this kind of content just caters to the desire of the citizens of Athens, as well as the elders.

What fellow daoist, please stay, and a dead fellow daoist will not die a poor man, such slang words are also circulating in Athens.

The Tao Te Ching shocked the scholars in Athens. The worship of the Supreme Lord in the whole city almost reached the level of local gods—and according to "Zhu Xiaoyong", this scripture contains some exercises, such as " Longevity formula".

A single name can make people's adrenaline secrete violently, and their hearts are filled with fiery exercises!

The current situation of Athens made Pericles worried. The city-state that he was familiar with and pushed it to glory suddenly became a little strange. The sad thing is that no matter the citizens or the elders, they are obsessed with cultivating immortals and cannot extricate themselves. He wants to expel the three Huaxia people, but no one supports him at all.

cups...

In this way, until a few days later, a messenger with a torch and a garland on his head came to Athens.

The Olympic Games are about to begin!

In this era of Greece, the Olympic Games had a lofty status. For example, even if there was a war in some city-states, the flames of war there would be extinguished when the torch arrived. People who fought fiercely put down their weapons one after another and returned to peaceful life.

People forget about hatred and war, and rush to Olympia to participate in the Olympic Games.

In the Hall of Elders, after receiving the envoys, Pericles and the internal affairs officer talked about the selection of Olympic athletes, and they also talked about the three Chinese envoys. According to the guard's report, the man named Yan Luo has been exercising with an extremely long and heavy stick every day for the past few days.

Wang Dongwei is practicing swordsmanship. As for the fat man, besides eating and sleeping, he is also a storyteller. He is especially good at eating, and he can eat a roast leg of lamb for a meal!

"These three guys, don't they want to continue westward and spread culture? Why don't they stay here?" Pericles thought about it and felt very depressed.

"I have an idea."

The veteran who once wrote a poem praising the long trousers stood up and said: "Athens lost culturally to the envoy of China. It is a complete failure. This is a shame. But... the Olympic Games brought together our heroes from all over Greece. "

"Sports can bring people a strong body and a healthy body, which is as important as culture! Can we... use this conference to wash away the shame of failure? Let the citizens of Athens know that the Chinese envoy is not invincible."

In Pericles' heart, there was a sudden movement. This could not only drive away the hateful guys, but without these sources of disturbance, Athens would slowly return to the original right track.

The victory can also be used to rekindle the confidence of the people of Athens in Greek culture, instead of everyone eager to cultivate immortals now.

He hesitated: "But... the Olympic Games, you must be a Greek citizen to participate."

"It's really too simple, just grant them the status of honorary citizens of Athens!" The elder said indifferently, "The three of them...to be precise, it is the young man named Yan Luo who showed wisdom, erudition and fitness. , Even if a citizens’ meeting is held, this proposal can be passed.”

"Let foreigners who insulted Greek civilization become honorary citizens? This is too shameful..."

Pericles hesitated for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and nodded.

In Athens now, the Chinese can no longer be allowed to stay.

Otherwise don't know what to expect!

In the past few days, Herodotus tore up his "History" and set up a study group to learn the values ​​of "prosperity, democracy, civilization, harmony, freedom, equality, justice, rule of law, patriotism, dedication, integrity, and friendliness" , ready to rewrite history.

Euripides and Sophocles, two original rivals, are actually teaming up to make a drama about cultivation and participate in the Dionysus Festival. The content is the story of an ordinary boy who became a fairy through cultivation, and even the name has been chosen: The Legend of Mortal Cultivation of Immortals.

Thucydides, obsessed with the history of China, is researching the level of strength of the Greek gods in the Great Desolation War and the Conferred God War.

Democritus analyzed the theory of "vital energy" in the Tao Te Ching, and based on the theory of atoms and motion, he created a method of self-cultivation: "Qigong". The human body has vital energy. By controlling the movement of these atomic particles, it is called induction. , Move the vitality in the body, strengthen the body, even improve the life form, and cultivate into a fairy.

Now, in the city of Athens, the qigong classes run by Democritus are actively registering.

Hippocrates has already begun to recruit warriors who traveled east to learn scriptures.

As for the first wise man in Athens, Socrates, he established the association of "Worshiping Papa Teaching" and called many people together to study the content of Tao Te Ching. There is also a banner on the wall of the association that he visited the Chinese envoy and asked for, written on the cloth with square and square "Chinese characters".

It is said to have incredible power, "Tao" mantra to save the world:

"Original Dao Salvation Song"

The great origin of Tao comes from the sky, and I would like to use the Tao of heaven to enlighten the sages;

The way of heaven is misfortune but blessings and goodness, turn back and whip the ancestors as soon as possible;

The root of orthodoxy is only righteous, and UU Reading www.uukanshu.com has no successors in the past;

Enjoy the blessings of heaven and get away from vulgarity;

Don't drag all the vulgar feelings, you must donate all the delusions.

Thinking of the current situation in the city of Athens, Pericles was so sad that he almost burst into tears. He looked up at the sky, speechless.

Why did it become like this?

This Olympics is a rare opportunity to change the focus of citizens and enhance their sense of pride. In such a sports meeting, the Greeks should be able to play a role in defeating the Chinese envoy. Moreover, the most important thing is that three people participate, and they will leave Athens and go to the city-state of Olympia.

Now, the only question is whether the three of them are willing to participate in the Olympics.

Pericles directly sent a soldier to inquire.

Then he got an answer that made him happy.

"it is good!"

Pericles notified 500 congressmen with great efficiency. After some discussion, the congressmen passed a resolution to grant honorary citizenship to three people in Athens—at the same time, let three people, as athletes representing Athens, participate in the Olympic Games.

Of course, the original athletes from Athens will also go.

When the resolution was passed, the congressmen and elders disbanded, and the elder poet who made the proposal returned to his home, and happily took out a set of bright yellow clothes.

Fat man Zhu Xiaoyong's yellow shirt and yellow shorts.

"It's such a color, and it has a softer feel than linen..." The elder took off Himashin and put on a shirt and shorts. make a poem..."

"I have a set of beautiful clothes, like clothes woven of gold thread. When I wear them, my heart will never be sad again. Ah! Golden clothes, ah! Gorgeous clothes, how splendid, how beautiful."
