After hearing what Gu Yi said, Geer admired him very much. Even though he himself had no knowledge, he could still tell the difference between the words of wise men and the words of fools. He knew that the immortals were indeed great, and there was nothing wrong with their work... But
He still couldn't help but feel angry.
Indeed, he knew very well that what happened to him could not be attributed to those immortals who had disappeared.
After all, these people are so great. In order to allow the world to develop better, they are willing to abandon themselves, abandon their superior status and power, transfer the world to mortals, and at the same time save mortals from the shackles of fate, and no longer let this
All creatures in the world are controlled by fate.
Even he, an outsider, was very moved by these sentiments.
But...why do they, the people who are ruled by the gods, suffer the suffering that the people on earth should suffer?
The immortals were afraid that the gods would abuse and oppress mortals and make the whole world silent, so they drove away the gods. But what about their world? When he was in the tribe before, Geer would not think about what the outside world was like... Then
At that time, he was just an ordinary tribesman. He didn't even know what the world was like thirty kilometers away from his tribe, let alone the outside world! What was the outside world?
Before he killed the gods and escaped from his own planet, he didn't even know the concept of the universe.
In his opinion, there are only stars in the sky, and the stars are the masterpieces of the gods. He has never thought that those stars are actually planets. There are many lives on those planets that are similar to them but different from them.
But he knew that his life was very difficult. He was always hovering on the line between life and death.
And there are many people among those stars who are just like him.
And the source of all this is the gods who were driven out of the earth!
Intellectually, Geer knew that these things should not be blamed on a group of great people from ten thousand years ago, but emotionally he could not accept it.
This is called: "The road is simple, easy to know but difficult to do."
The meaning of this sentence is: The most valuable truth is actually the simplest truth. It is easier to understand the truth of things, but more difficult to do or implement it. The greatest truth refers to the great truth (basic principles, methods
and rules) are extremely simple, as simple as one or two sentences can explain it. It is said that "a true sentence is taught, but a false teaching is thousands of books". It is easier to know than to do, which means that it is easier to understand the truth of things, but more difficult to implement;
It is one thing to understand the laws and principles of things, but it is another thing to be able to do them well.
When Geer was studying theology these days, he discovered a very strange phenomenon.
That is, in a country called China, philosophy can also become religion.
Among them, Taoism, in his opinion, is simply... simply... he doesn't know how to describe it. After they invented a set of philosophy, they actually extended it to a set of religion, and even gods were added later.
This is still contrary to Geer’s outlook on life. In his view, isn’t there God first and then everything? Can it be the other way around now?
Taoism and Taoism are two terms that people often regard as the same concept, and are often used without distinction. From the outside, Taoism and Taoism seem to be inseparable, but in essence, they are still different. Taoism
Thought is a philosophical school, and Taoism is a religious belief. Taoism comes first, followed by Taoism. Taoism is a collection of Chinese culture that combines Taoism, Confucianism, Buddhism, heaven, earth, man, god and other traditional Chinese cultures.
"Tao" follows all things, respects the differences of all things in the world, and assists in the full development of various differences. Therefore, "Tao" does not have a unified form, and there is no unified way to approach "Tao". Taoism takes "Tao" as its core.
He believes that the Tao is inactive, advocates that Tao follows nature, and proposes Tao-generated laws, using females to protect males, combining hardness and softness, and other political, economic, state-governing, and military strategies, and has a simple dialectical thought.
The origin of Taoism can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. The formation of Taoist thought is mainly based on summary, development, and writing of classics. Each jump in thought has experienced an extremely long period of accumulation by many people, which once again highlights the
Taoist vitality.
"The Great Way to Simplicity" comes from Taoist Laozi's "Tao Te Ching": "The beginning of all things, the Great Way to simplicity, evolution to complexity." It means that at the beginning of all things, everything is the simplest, and after evolution it becomes complex.
Of course, even with Gehr's level, he can't understand the Tao Te Ching. Let alone Geer, even if you pick up a random college student at a Chinese university, you may not be able to recite the Tao Te Ching, let alone understand it. "Tao Te Ching"
Difficult, it is the highest mountain in China. Laozi is perhaps the oldest of all philosophers, and his thoughts are the most thorough, solitary and profound. When reading the "Tao Te Ching", many people feel that it is mysterious, illusory and can only be understood when they say "Tao".
The meaning is indescribable, making "Tao" very mysterious. In fact, Lao Tzu did not make "Tao" so mysterious. In the "Tao Te Ching", Lao Tzu only talked about two "Tao", one is "The Way of Heaven"
The other is "the way of the sage". In the "Tao Te Ching", Laozi will talk about "the way of heaven" every other paragraph and "the way of heaven" every other paragraph. His distribution and layout are reasonable.
It reminds us that we should constantly think of the "Way of Heaven". Then, imitating the "Way of Heaven" and doing the "Way of Saints" is what the "Tao Te Ching" has to do, so the "Way of Heaven" is very important. Many people just don't have it.
Understanding these two "Tao" is why I feel that the Tao Te Ching is profound and difficult to understand.
Not to mention Geer, a guy who didn't even graduate from elementary school.
But if you don't understand it, you can't understand it. Some things make sense at first sight.
But again, everyone knows the truth, but who can guarantee that the truth falls on you and that you can still look at it objectively?
At least Geer didn't have this level of cultivation.
So blame or blame!
Gu Yi could see it, but he didn't think it was strange. It was the same saying, the road is simple, easy to know but difficult to do. She knew this sentence better than Geer, a foreigner, about top philosophical books such as the Tao Te Ching. How could Gu Yi
Maybe you haven't seen it.
But...to be honest, every time Gu Yi saw this Tao Te Ching, he felt...it would be great if I were the Supreme Master, because he would never be as troubled as himself.
She wants to retire, but she can't give up her responsibilities until the next Sorcerer Supreme appears.
When she was young, she always felt that her teacher was too pretentious.
Supreme Mage, that is the most glorious title in the whole world, with power and strength, everything is lacking. Why do you feel tired and want to unload your burden quickly?
I even think death is a good thing.
This made Gu Yi completely confused.
But after living for hundreds of years... I found out. This job is really not done by humans. No wonder my teacher was ecstatic when he discovered me. Then he quickly taught himself, and then died quickly.
…
Now she also wants to do this, but the problem is that before the next Supreme Mage is determined, she, like all previous Supreme Mage, cannot give up her responsibilities.
As the guardian of the earth, Ancient One has repelled countless threats from alien spaces. You must know that as early as 1666, Ancient One had already started fighting with Dormammu, and besides Dormammu, many other
People from other worlds have invaded the earth, but they were all repelled by Ancient One. In every battle, Ancient One shouldered a huge responsibility. After living for so many years and seeing so many things, Ancient One was tired of it, so she thought
End all this with physical death. In addition to protecting the peace of the earth, Ancient One also has an important mission to protect the safety of the Time Stone. He recruited many disciples just to find a successor. He can continue to protect the Time Stone on his behalf. At this time
He can leave with peace of mind.
As the saying goes, when you stare into the abyss, the abyss also stares into you.
Every time he confronts Dormammu, Ancient One will come into contact with the power of the dark dimension. This contact will inevitably lead to Ancient One being corrupted by the power of the dark dimension. But in the realm of dark flavor, Dormammu is God.
This is something Gu Yi doesn't want to do but has to do. Absorbing the energy of the dark space can certainly make Gu Yi live longer and be more powerful, but if it goes on for a long time, it may make Gu Yi lose his mind. He doesn't know when he will
He will lose his mind. Before losing his mind, he chooses death to free himself.
The great guardian, maintaining the safety of the earth, and fighting against the invasion of the earth from multiple dimensions, all of this makes Gu Yi very anxious.
In fact, Ancient One was not actually on Earth most of the time.
To be precise, her body is on the earth, while her soul is fighting in higher dimensions.
Not everyone can endure this kind of day.
However, it is difficult for the Supreme Mage to be really crazy... While the great guardian protects the earth, he will also protect the Supreme Mage himself, which makes her constantly swing between madness and sanity.
This kind of torture is like throwing you into a drum washing machine, then adding boiling water and stirring continuously!
The key is that this time span will accompany the Supreme Mage throughout his life.
Unless the Supreme Mage dies.
Therefore, immortality is never a blessing to the Supreme Mage, but the greatest curse.
At the time, Casillas, the great disciple of the Ancient One, was bewitched by the dark dimension and wanted to rebel.
Gu Yi was surprised because he didn't expect someone to be so stupid.
Then she suddenly realized that it turned out that she had always behaved normally, and people had misunderstood her. The position of a supreme mage can give people powerful power and long life... So Ancient One transferred his own power to the inner world of the earth.
The truth was told to Casillas.
And make him feel the same way.
Then Casillas decisively gave up the idea of betrayal.
Casillas was also a poor man. He used to be an ordinary person. He had his own wife and son. But something unexpected happened and Casillas' son died unexpectedly. Then his wife also died of illness due to sadness.
Later, Casillas continued to resort to drinking to drown his sorrows. This situation did not change until he got into an argument with someone in a bar and was injured and thrown out the door.
He met Mordo, who probably saw that Casillas had extraordinary magical talent. After that, Casillas came to Karma Taj to learn magic from Ancient One. Casillas learned magic very quickly.
, and soon his strength surpassed most of the apprentices of the Ancient One, and even surpassed Modo to become a senior brother who could teach other apprentices magic. Although learning magic made Casillas escape from the mundane world, he still could not forget his wife and children.
In fact, the motivation for Casillas to learn magic is his wife and children. Magic is magical, and Casillas hopes to find a way to reunite him with his wife and children through learning magic. Simply put, Casillas hopes to resurrect himself.
Wife and children. But it is impossible to take the formal path. After all, it is against nature, so Casillas, who learns magic step by step, will definitely not be able to do it. When Casillas came to Karma Taj, Gu Yi once
He said that it would help him broaden his horizons and get rid of the pain of the past, but practicing magic did not make Casillas forget his wife and children. Later, Casillas wanted to learn the magic that was hidden by the Ancient One, but the Ancient One rejected his offer.
Of course, Casillas did not give up, so he secretly read the locked books.
The Book of Darkness. A forbidden book!
In fact, Casillas was not just peeking, because he did it in front of the library administrator, Pharaoh's predecessor who was beheaded. At that time, the library was not so strict. In the magic book stuck
Silas discovered a mysterious ritual that could communicate with existence beyond time. Casillas believed that the ritual was his hope of reuniting with his wife and children. Casillas's betrayal of the Ancient One was not simply a wish for eternal life.
, but hopes to reunite with his wife and children. From this aspect, he is still quite infatuated. However, although Dormammu is powerful, he still cannot directly resurrect the dead. Of course, Dormammu did not completely deceive Casillas.
, he is indeed an existence beyond time, and the "dark dimension" can also achieve immortality. However, the creatures who seek refuge in Dormammu will be transformed into the "dark dimension" by him, and will live forever with the "dark dimension". (At the end of the movie
Casillas and others were all taken to the "Dark Dimension" by Dormammu)
But this cannot be entirely blamed on Casillas. Although Ancient One is the Supreme Mage, she obviously only teaches magic and does not understand people's hearts. Therefore, Casillas's heart disease has not been relieved and finally broke out. Ancient One has always
Casillas was asked to abide by the laws of nature, but she chose to absorb the power of the "dark dimension" "in order to extend her lifespan". After discovering this, Casillas's three views must have collapsed directly.
It was not until Kai persuaded... that Ancient One finally told Casillas the truth.
In fact, Gu Yi did not intend to keep it secret, but she felt that these things did not need to be known to outsiders, as long as the successor knew about them.
But I didn't expect that such a misunderstanding would occur.
"Okay, Geer, can you tell me, what are you looking for on Earth?" Ancient One finally asked this question.
She doesn't mind an outsider living on Earth.
Even if he is an enemy of the Pantheon, after all, that thing has no meaning to Ancient One.
But you have to know what the purpose of this powerful individual in front of you is.
