Chapter 16 Great Principles
"Boss Li opened the door late today."
"Isn't it raining today? I was afraid of getting caught in the rain when I came back, so I went to the vegetable market first."
Li Chengqi unlocked the rolling shutter door and let the delivery boy in.
The two checked the inventory and quantity, and moved snacks and drinks into the warehouse at the back. After completing the purchase of goods for their convenience store, Li Chengqi sat behind the cashier and opened his laptop.
Due to a delay in going to the vegetable market and checking the inventory in the morning, it was already six o'clock in the morning in the game, and Viola had already taken her place in the chapel with the knights of the guard.
Speaking of prayer, it really varies from person to person. If you move the mouse a little bit on the knights of the Guards, the prayer content written on the pop-up dialog box will be all kinds of strange.
Some say they hope their swordsmanship can be improved, some say they hope they can get more bonuses at the end of the month, and some say they want a good weapon.
This is normal. The most outrageous thing is that some people want to know what style of underwear the Demon King likes. Some people hope that their colleagues will notice their intentions and want to have sex with Ji. Another example is that some people hope that the Demon King can use his divine power to help her grow taller and change her figure. good.
Is the Demon King God being too lenient...
In contrast, Viola is the most normal one, and the content of her prayer is still "Please give us the doctrine."
The strange content of prayers is actually related to the unclear doctrine.
If the god of agriculture is the god of agriculture, people will definitely pray for a good harvest, and if the god of war is the god of war, they will pray for invincibility. However, the devil god played by Li Chengqi does not show any more specific characteristics of the priesthood, and there is no doctrine. Naturally, they think the devil god is an almighty god. So I pray for everything.
Having said that, if it was two days ago, Li Chengqi would not have been able to respond. How could he know how to make up teachings?
But things are different now.
Picking up the headset, Li Chengqi said:
"Get paper and pen ready, I will teach you the first chapter today."
Viola, who was kneeling on the screen, immediately stood up. Li Chengqi could clearly see her saying a few words to the knights behind her, and then one of the knights ran out of the chapel like his buttocks were on fire. , and after a while he ran back with a stack of paper. Maybe because he was too excited, he stumbled with his left foot and fell to the ground with his right foot.
The other knights hurriedly went up to collect the paper scattered on the floor, unscrewed the ink bottle and gave the quill to Viola's hand.
Seeing that they were ready, Li Chengqi took out his mobile phone and turned on the screen, and read:
"The Tao can be Tao, but it is not Tao; the name can be named, but it is not named. The nameless beginning of heaven and earth, the name of the mother of all things. Therefore, there is always no desire to observe its wonder; there is always desire to observe its beauty. These two have the same origin but are different. Names are both called "mysterious", and "mysterious" is also called "mysterious".
Yes, this is the Tao Te Ching.
Doctrines are made up by people, so naturally there are rules to follow.
Regardless of the Bible or Buddhist scriptures, it can be simply summarized as using myths and stories to show how awesome your boss is, and mixing in some great principles for daily life.
Li Chengqi felt that since God is real to NPCs like Viola and others, there is no need for myths and stories to brag, and they can just learn the truth.
So, the great principle of Tao Te Ching is big enough.
The full text has a total of eighty-one chapters. Reading one or two chapters every day is enough for Li Chengqi Shui... I mean two three months of lectures.
Of course, a Tao Te Ching alone is not enough. Li Chengqi also specially prepared The Analects of Confucius, the Five Classics, Mozi, Han Feizi, Guiguzi, Jiu Zhang Arithmetic, the Book of Changes, etc., to directly allow hundreds of schools of thought to contend in the game.
Moreover, after careful consideration, Li Chengqi decided not to tell them the translation, which was entirely in the original words of classical Chinese.
As for how to understand it?
Understand it yourself. Interpreting doctrine is also the job of a pastor, and different people interpret it to mean different things. This is the reason why several different branch sects of a religion appear, and no one’s leader personally came to explain that you have misunderstood.
As long as Viola and the others don't interpret it too outrageously, Li Chengqi doesn't care. Watching them interpret it themselves is like finding something for the believers to do.
To beautify one's reputation is to maintain a sense of religious mystery.
Compared with giving a direct translation, obscure and difficult-to-understand texts are more perceived as good things.
After Li Chengqi read this paragraph, Viola copied a large page and immediately raised her hands as if she had found a treasure to show it to the other knights.
Then there was another wave of ‘Gan! ’ and ‘Grass! ’ to express admiration...
Forget it, let them be, Li Chengqi was too lazy to correct them.
At this time, I saw a guard knocking on the door and coming in, seeming to say something to Viola.
Li Chengqi clicked the mouse, and a dialog box popped up that read, 'Your Royal Highness, the soldiers are ready to go out to eliminate the bandits.'
"Bandits? Why is Viola looking for them?"
–‐‐——–‐‐——
She carefully kept the paper close to her body, and then Viola immediately ordered her knights to summon soldiers to go to war.
Most of the soldiers who followed Viola to Ryan's territory were injured, and many of them had their wounds worsened because they did not receive medical treatment.
But under the continuous treatment of the divine light, many people have recovered quickly, except for the seriously injured who still need to recuperate.
Viola ordered five hundred elite soldiers to line up in front of the Leon Fortress. Together with her own knights and local guides, the total number was close to six hundred.
As the silver trumpet sounded, the army marched towards its destination.
This may not sound like too many people, but the actual situation must be considered.
Viola's total strength was only two thousand. Excluding the seriously injured and the soldiers who stayed in the city to defend and patrol, five hundred people were just enough.
According to the investigation, there are less than a thousand bandits, but even if there are deserters and the like among the bandits, their weapons and equipment are still insufficient, and training is impossible.
Five hundred professional soldiers are more than enough to fight against nearly a thousand bandits. The biggest trouble is that the road is difficult to walk.
The group set out at seven in the morning and walked for two or three hours to the foot of the mountain range known as the Spine of the World.
Viola looked at the white snow on the top of the mountains and remembered that when she was in the capital, she heard scholars say that the Spine of the World blocked the cold air from the north and created a warm climate in the Demon Kingdom of Aruvas, so the Spine of the World was called the Spine of the World by scholars. sacred mountain.
Viola didn't know if what the scholars said was right, but this mountain range now helped her block the pursuit of the four-nation coalition, and she could settle down in Leon's territory with peace of mind. From this point of view, she should really be grateful.
At the foot of the mountain, everyone left the horses and grooms where they were, and everyone walked into the mountain.
The climate in the mountains is changeable, and soon a drizzle began to fall in the sky, covering the team like mist.
The advantage is that the rain can obscure the view and prevent the army from being detected before they get close. The disadvantage is that the rain will take away the body temperature, resulting in more intense physical exertion.
The bandits are hidden in the crisscrossing mountains of the Spine of the World, and it takes several hours of walking to reach them.
