Chapter 9 Adventure Chapter-5

back garden of the castle The hall in the castle The hall in the castle no one can tell why After Stero left, South said to Mai Li and me: "With your wisdom, you may have the ability to enter the Presbyterian Church." Mai Li said: "But we do not belong to the elders." in this place. " Suddenly I had an indescribable feeling, "Sous, maybe we have such abilities, but we will never be able to enter the Presbyterian Church." Suo Si Si asked in surprise, "Why do you say that?" "Because we can't dedicate our lives to thinking, but you can."

"Then what did you dedicate your life to?" Sous was a little puzzled. Is there anything more important than thinking? "To what..." I repeated in a low voice, but without any thought. Mai Li said slowly: "This may be a problem that cannot be explained at all, or it may not be a problem at all." Stero has been walking for nearly an hour, and we are getting more and more anxious. South is going to visit the elders, when Stero's voice comes from the door, "You Come out quickly. " We heard the sound and hurried out of the house.Seeing the joy on Stero's face, I think everyone felt extremely happy in their hearts at that time.

Taylor is even more the dream of Stero. Stero was very happy, and took the hands of Mai Li and me, "Come with me, to the presbytery, everyone said that they want to see you. South, go quickly, go together. "We couldn't talk about it, so we dragged the two of us to the hillside behind the village. In fact, we naturally wouldn't talk about it." After going up the hillside and walking a few hundred meters, the terrain sank a little, and there was actually a ten-meter-high tower in a flat and open place. The main hall with an area of ​​more than one thousand meters, the style really makes people think it is an ancient Greek temple.Cheerful little animals can often be seen running back and forth in the lush woods on the edge

, probably there will be no large beasts. Mai Li and I couldn't help slowing down, and Stero also slowed down, "This is where our Presbyterian Church is located. The hall has been built for nearly two hundred years. It's time. " The hall is not as gorgeous as imagined, or it should be said that it is too simple. In a hall on the left side of the main hall, there were six members of the Presbyterian Church. They invited us to sit down, and Stero introduced us one by one.then to them Said: "These two are the guests who helped me solve the problem, and South." The youngest elder, Kentum Jr., stood up and said, "I represent Hyde.

The village elders and the villagers welcomed the arrival of the two.We are very happy to hear that Stero introduced the general experience of the two people who came here, and we are also very grateful to the two help. " I didn't know the name of this village until now. Maybe Mai Li knew it but forgot to tell me. Mai Li said: "We must have disturbed the village, but we really didn't mean any harm. As for helping, we really can't afford it." Little Kentum said: "In any case, Stero has been officially accepted into the Presbyterian Church. We are not only happy for his arrival, but also hope that

Can exchange views on some issues with the two.Of course, this requires the consent of both of you. " This is too straight to the point, I don’t say anything, and I come up with communication issues first, can’t you take a break for a while?I still have some mysteries in my mind , it seems that there is a chance to inquire about it. Stero seemed to understand what we both meant, "Actually, these two guests also have some questions to ask, but I don't know much about it. I hope the elders can help you." Give them an explanation. " The elder among the six elders who sat on the farthest side said: "Yes, please ask me, we will try our best to answer, in fact, this village

The child has no dark secrets. " I thought about it, in fact, there is only one key question, "I really want to know why people here keep thinking about problems instead of doing anything else. thing?Is this what life is all about? " Mai Li also said: "This is also the most different place between this place and the outside world." The hall suddenly became only the sound of everyone's light breathing.Time is ticking... Sous broke the silence and said, "Didn't you also say just now, Do people here give their lives to thinking? " Several elders looked at Mai Li and me, and I said: "Yes, I think so, but I don't know the reason, why is it like this?

At least before I came here, I never imagined that there would be such a living attitude or situation in the world. " "We cannot answer your questions," said the oldest elder. Little Kentum went on to say: "It's not that we don't want to answer the two, but we don't even know ourselves. It's like I'm asking you 'Why do you do this? Live like that, is that the meaning of life' same, I don't think you can answer.Because this is a higher level question. " "A higher-level question? What does this mean?" "It means that if we were created by God, then the problem should belong to God and not to us."

"What if man is not created, but merely a product of nature? Who will answer that question?" "I thought it wasn't human beings themselves at least. I don't know who it was." Indeed, this is a question that really has no answer, which means that the question may not be a question at all, but a language game, the language A possible combination. I've never thought about it like this before, I prefer something tangible, at least that way I'll feel a little safe.I just remember that year The oldest elder has a Chinese name—Qian Sizhe. Letting go of the question, the elders took a few of us to visit the entire hall, only the door of a small hall was locked, and no one told us what it was for

Useful, if they know I don't think they will avoid talking about it, then this may be the "secret" that will never be known. Regarding this kind of slightly mysterious question, the most calming sentence in my impression is what Little Kentum said: This is a question that no one can explain clearly. reincarnation. the past the past the past Is this really our past? - Questions from the Presbyterian Church Back in the hall, the elders finally articulated the question they had been thinking about: Was our past really like this? Everyone who enters the Presbyterian Church is prepared to face stranger and more unimaginable problems, and they know that their future time is to accompany

Overcoming these problems, the only end point is to withdraw voluntarily.But Stero and all the elders who came before him, and of course Maili, South and I didn't even think that there is actually only one problem facing the Presbyterian Church: our past, what was our past like, is it like the present, if Is the same, how did it come to be, and if not, how does it come to be now? The first thing I wondered was how this question was different from the one I asked them initially. I couldn't tell at the moment, but it was different. Little Kentum told us that the reason why we should think about this issue after the age of forty-five, or after the level is high enough, is that we are afraid of getting in touch with people too early Unable to persist in thinking, if after more than 30 years of training, a person has become accustomed to this kind of thinking life, then even if this problem is not solved method, even if a person cannot find the answer for a lifetime, it is probably an acceptable ending for this person, but in fact some people do eventually quit The reason for joining the Presbyterian Church is also to lose confidence in this issue.Sous was very nervous after listening to it. Wouldn't it be a violation of this rule to know all this too early? Is the original meaning of moment?Little Kentum told South that if you are willing to think, of course it won't affect you, and if you don't want to think, of course you don't care to know earlier. Dao, this rule is originally intended to ensure that people can continue to think about this problem, to a large extent, it takes a person's first 30 years of life to learn. This is a cruel deception, but when we realize the necessity of this problem, we have no way out .It may be against God's will to ponder this question, but we cannot stop. I quietly listened to Little Kentum's words, and my heart was excited. It seemed that my life became clearer, but the language that was too abstract It makes me doubt that this kind of thinking is superfluous, but as he said, when a problem appears in our consciousness, it is already difficult for us to reject it. The road of oneness has become a kind of destiny, because we have to go down——along this road that no one can tell. But the problem is so big that to think about the past is to wonder whether it ever really existed. Mai Li finally asked a question that might touch every elder's heart, "Why do you have the idea to think about this question?" Elder Qian Sizhe replied: "This question has been passed down for generations. When this hall was built, it was not for the elders to gather here It was built by the villagers to show their respect to the smartest people in the village, and gradually became a place for everyone to discuss and study. , is actually like a big school.But then a young elder named Weigu appeared, and he asked the question 'Why are we now? This way of life, not another', since then, no one has been able to answer this question, not even Weigu himself.gradually everyone Take this question as the ultimate goal of pursuit, because no one would think that it is possible to surpass Weigu, just to be able to answer this question that even Weigu cannot solve More than enough for one person. " That being the case, I think there is nothing Mai Li and I can do, and we should probably go.Not to mention solving such a problem, just figure out what it is What that means is probably not something that can be done in a day or two.But Mai Li doesn't seem to have the intention of leaving yet. What exactly does he want to do? Does he want to solve this problem? ? "Your only problem is actually doubting your own history," Mailey said. I think the question I ask them is to ask about the meaning of existence, but their question is to ask why there is such and such an existence, other than that I There is nothing more to say. We really should go.
