Chapter 112 Chapter Sixteen

How did Paguguet tell Panurge to see a soothsayer at Ponzust After a while, Paguguai sent for Banuzhi and said to him: "My concern for you for a long time has kept me thinking of your peace and happiness. Now I tell you my idea: I am told that near Crowley in Pontust there lived a A very famous sorceress, she can predict everything in the future. Let Abby Sidmon go with you and see what she says." "It may be a kind of fortune-telling witches of the Carnedian and Sarkana style," said Ebisdemon. "I have this idea because the reputation of this place is terrible, and the witches there are worse than those of Desari. There are more in Asia. I am not happy to go. It is not right, it is forbidden by the law of Moses."

Paiguguay said: "We are not Jewish, let alone no one has publicly confirmed that she is a witch. These trivial details, can we discuss these trivial details when you come back? "We don't know at all whether she is the eleventh Sibyl, or the second Cassandra. Perhaps she is not a Sibyl at all, and does not deserve the title, so talk to her about your problems, What does it matter? What's more, she has a reputation for knowledge and learning that surpasses the women in the whole district. Even if it is a fool, a kettle, an oil bottle, gloves, slippers, as long as you can learn something and get knowledge from there, there is nothing wrong with it. Woolen cloth?

"You must remember that after the defeat of King Darius by Arbela, Alexander the Great once refused to receive a person who asked for an audience in front of his ministers, and regretted it later, but it was too late. He was in Persia at that time. He won the battle, but he was too far away from his motherland, Macedonia, and there was no way to get any news. The distance was far away, the mountains were blocked, the rivers and deserts were separated, and the east and west were separated. He was very sad. This anxious problem was not a small one. (Because it is likely that someone has captured his country, and before he got the news and rushed back to stop it, they had already installed a new king there and divided new territories.) At this time, a Sidonian came, a shrewd A seasoned merchant, who did not appear to be rich or well dressed, said he had found a way by which, in five days' time, Alexander's country would be informed of his victories in India, and Alexander's victories in India Knowing the situation in Macedonia and Egypt, Alexander thought the tone was too loud to be true, so he refused to listen to him and refused to receive him.

"What does it cost this man to hear the way he has discovered? What harm is there in knowing the way and the way this man wants to tell him? "Nature keeps our ears wide open, without doors or bars of any kind, unlike eyes, tongues, and other parts of the body. I don't think it's for nothing. The reason, I think, is that we can keep our eyes open day and night. Keep listening, because you can learn forever because you don't stop listening. For hearing is the most suitable sense for receiving learning. Besides, the man who came to see Alexander may be an angel. There is a Franciscan monastery there.

② Carnidia and Sarkana are the two witches in the fifth chapter of Horace's "Satire". ③ Desalia: The country of witches in Greece, see Chapter 12, Chapter 3, Volume 1 of Erasmus' Proverbs. ④ Moses prohibited witchcraft, see "Old Testament? Deuteronomy" Chapter 18, Section 11. ⑤ Cassandra: The prophetess in the Trojan War. ⑥ Arbella: The ancient place name of Asia Minor, where Alexander defeated King Darius. ① Sidon: The name of the Phoenician city. Well, that is to say, the messenger sent by God is the same as Raphael was sent to see Tobias.Alexander's contempt was shown too quickly, so it took a long time for him to regret it afterwards. "

Ebisdemon said: "What you said is quite right, but I always thought that it would never be a good thing to ask a woman, and a woman in such a place, for instructions and advice." Banurge said: "I think women's ideas, especially older women's ideas, are not bad. Listening to them, I can always get one or two unusual benefits. Tell you, my friend, they really have a sense of smell." Hounds, really guiding 'headlines'①. To be honest, they are worthy of what people call intelligent women②. In my opinion and my statement, I would rather call them super-intelligent women③. They are intelligent , they have cognitive abilities that go further than intelligence. So I call them super-intelligent women precisely because they can magically foresee and accurately predict all future events. Therefore, I do not call them zombies ④, but they are called military advisers, just like Juno of the Romans, because their instructions are always beneficial and beneficial to us. If you don’t believe me, ask Pythagoras, Socrates, and Umbedokles ⑤ with our master Ortuinos ⑥.

"Also, the ancient fashions of the Germans, I also hold them up to the blue sky, and I am sincerely convinced. They regard the instructions of the elderly women as gods and respect them very much. They carefully accept the instructions and declarations of these women, and they are lucky. Prosperity and prosperity. Examples are old Aurenia and Villeda old mother ⑧ in the time of Vespasianus ⑦. "Believe me, a woman's old age is rich in language, I mean in prophecy. Well, let's go, God bless, have mercy! Farewell, Brother John, I entrust you with my crotch Look after."

Abby Simon said: "Okay, I'll go with you, but let's make it clear first, if I find out that she is using witchcraft or magic, I will accompany you to the door instead of going in." ① The red eye-catching title on the law book. ② The original text sages femmes also means midwifery. ③ "Super-intelligent woman" comes from Chapter 30 of the first volume of Cicero's "On Divination". ④ The original text of "bacterium corpse" maunettes is the same as "military division" monettes, maunettes means "filthy woman", here the right to translate "bacteria corpse"

Whichever is the same as "military division". ⑤ Both Pythagoras and Ambedocles praised women's wisdom, and Socrates once compared himself to a concubine (a wise woman). ⑥ Ortuinus: A theologian from Curen, whose real name is Halton de Graz, who once lived with a maid and gave birth to a child. ⑦ Vespasianus: Roman emperor from AD 69 to 79. ⑧ Villeda: A first-century prophetess.
