"I am indeed the first to break through the ancient man's rank, but I am not the first wizard to leave this world."
The gentleman lowered his fingers and pointed to the veins of the leaves of the Kaishu under his body, and laughed: "——Just like you have been studying in the First University for four years, but have not become a registered wizard, and have obtained a diploma, you can leave school... There is not only one way to leave the world. Some people choose to make a real spirit, some choose to smuggle in the body, and others like me, insist on taking the most traditional path. At this point, Azathus, who has opened up the road to the starry sky, seems particularly conservative, so He failed to break through and melted into the universe... There are many ancient people who made similar choices to him. I just went a little further than them."
It sounds light and light.
But Zheng Qing could guess how huge the difference was.
He couldn't help asking: "—How did you do it?"
This time, the teacher did not answer perfunctorily, but pondered for a moment, but finally shook his head and did not give a definite answer: "To be honest, I don't know, but one day, I suddenly realized that I became... Think about it now, there are many possibilities. For example, establishing the first university brought me great blessings; for example, combing the forbidden curse and gaining favor from the world; for example, the mysterious yellow wood raised in the school has truly become a climate, or the world is about to be promoted, I just happened to be... Any conditions are true, but like many truly successful people, they are also confused about the reasons for their success, and they are inconsistent. Standing at the moment, it is difficult for us to be sober, complete, and correct about ourselves."
This answer is a bit different from what Zheng Qing expected.
"Then..." Zheng Qing suddenly became speechless-even the gentleman himself was not sure how he broke through the ancients, so how should people go later?
"I can't see through it, it doesn't mean that later generations can't see through it."
The gentleman smiled in a low voice: "—If life has taught me anything, it means that no matter how old you grow, the world always has room for you to continue to grow. So you must be full of hope and awe for the future. Just like in the Sanyou Bookstore, everyone's life is like a book on the bookshelf, and each book has a time to turn to the last page. However, some books have a final end, some books have a question mark at the end, some books have an ellipsis at the end, and some books have an end, and some books have an 'stay looking forward'.
You are my disciple. On the first day of entering the wizard world, you have already saved most of the troubles in this world. But from today on, you will begin to face the future alone - the unpredictable and out-of-control feeling of the future will allow you to truly find the meaning of living."
Zheng Qing naturally repels the feeling of "out of control".
The gentleman seemed to see the resistance in his eyes.
"Just just asked me how I surpassed the ancients."
He reached out and drew a line in front of Zheng Qing, allowing the line to become a square, a circle, and a triangle, with a bit of encouragement in his tone: "——In fact, this is a method that can be tried. It is already 'order', so you should explore the field outside of 'order', see what "chaotic" feels like, what state of 'out of control', and what kind of experience will 'unpredictable' bring. One of the most underestimated difficulties in life is to know when to leave your current comfort zone and enter the next stage of life. Similarly, the most difficult thing in the road of magic is to go out of the known and explore everything unknown. Do you know what is the most important thing for a wizard with superb magic power?"
"It's definitely not a spell casting skill." Zheng Qing murmured.
"A very cunning answer." The gentleman knocked his head. Zheng Qing covered his head and suddenly remembered the words that his husband mentioned not long ago. In connection with the novels and movies he had read, he suddenly became a little more aware of: "—Is it the will, soul, or love? Cough, is it my sense of responsibility for this world?"
The gentleman glanced at him, with a little playful look in his eyes, and then he shook his head.
"It's the rule."
Instead of continuing to play the puzzle, he directly said the final answer: "Every powerful wizard has his own rules. It is used to describe the words of gods that are more easily accepted by others. It is rules. Rules or rules are the most concerned content of every legend and every ancient man."
"Isn't rules the order? This is contrary to the 'out of control' you just mentioned!" Zheng Qing forgot the pain on his forehead, put down his hand, and frowned.
“That’s the part I want to emphasize.”
The gentleman emphasized his tone slightly: "Order or chaos is a choice, a path, a kind of 'Tao', but the rules are the fundamental way for you to keep yourself on these 'Tao'. Your way is 'Tao', so pay special attention to the subtle difference between your own way and the rules you should abide by."
Zheng Qing heard it a little numb: "I still don't understand..."
The gentleman looked up at the flowing light flying outside the five-colored light, looked down at the veins on the leaves of Kaishu, and then looked at the young wizard again: "Well, for example, two countries, one pays attention to order and the other allows chaos, which are the development directions of two different ways. But at the same time, these two countries each maintained a certain "core" so that they could exist as a country without being entangled by the concepts they admired.
Specifically for individuals, powerful wizards need to integrate countless subtle and real wills inside and outside, and simply and scientifically describe it. Every cell in the human body, like every natural person in society, has its own consciousness. Ordinary wizards will only contact their own shallow consciousness, while a true legend needs to command the consciousness of tens of trillions of cells in the entire body... Without rules, the collective consciousness and unconsciousness will easily devour themselves. In the words of classical wizards, it is to transform into Taoism or be possessed by demons. The out-of-control legend is swallowed not only their self, but also their world... If there are no other powerful wizards to stop it."
Zheng Qing understood the truth a little.
But he still didn't know how to determine the rules he should follow.
"——The sun born in the morning dew will eventually sink among the stars born in the night dew. The dew (road and road) is not in the morning, but under the feet."
Perhaps because it was the last class, the gentleman showed his patience: "There was a wizard named Nietzsche from Europa. He was a bit extreme, but there was a saying that he said was very interesting - the second half of his life is composed of habits, and his habits were indeed developed in the first half of his life. Some people also understood this as 'and in the first half of his life, people had duels with these habits'. Whether it was duels with their own bad habits or developing good habits, in short, you are just right at your age."
