Chapter 243: Referring to Marmara Sea as a vow!
Seeing that his wielding father and mother didn't speak, Guo Kang had to continue explaining himself.
"If I really need it, I can work for a while and then hand it over to a better person. Or it doesn't matter if I don't, I really don't care." He said to Guo Ponu bluntly: "The wealth of Guo's family, Roman Pillar Kingdom, is the Roman Pillar Kingdom."
Although his status is very attractive, it is actually just like that for me. The difference between different worlds is too big. If you have seen that kind of life, it is very difficult to indulge in the enjoyment here to be honest."
What he said is indeed the truth.
Although Rome's material life was relatively leading in the Mediterranean world of this era, it was indeed difficult to really create a lot of "material desires".
"In my life, I probably can't go to that world in heaven, I can only visit in my dreams." He sighed: "With our current ability, most of the scenes may not be realized."
"But even so, since I have seen things in heaven, I want to bring as many of them to the human world as possible. Otherwise, what is my life for? Is it meaningless to experience the heaven and the human world?
Is it?"
"I know, some people like to manage others too. But in this regard, different people's nature may be different." He shook his head and tried to organize the language:
"Maybe it is because I have seen the world in the sky, so the powers on earth... To be honest, in this environment, it is difficult for me to experience the sense of accomplishment and pride from the process of commanding others.
I ordered them to build a workshop. After the workshop was completed, the lamps that were successfully produced were the things that made me happiest during this period."
In fact, Guo Kang also knew that his way of thinking was somewhat different from that of this world and the people of this era.
Moreover, not only this world, but also his ideas are very different from the mainstream thinking of the predecessor world.
His "idea" does not belong to mainstream theology and philosophy, and it is even difficult to summarize it into a certain step in the history of development. It can be said that it is not on the "technology tree" at all, it is just his own private goods. Therefore,
, not understood by others, is actually normal.
Logically speaking, in the era before he traveled through time, the mainstream thoughts in the world advocated personal enjoyment, rather than the "pride" and "meaning" he emphasized.
According to that era, the world's exaggerated learning, these pride and meanings have no meaning in themselves. They are all a kind of "faith", a kind of "divineness" constructed by artificially, and these artificial consciousness, and even human existence
It's also meaningless.
Therefore, whether it is a noble sentiment or a liberation, it is constructed and does not exist. People can only confirm their existence through specific matters - for example, who has more money, see
It depends on who has a more luxurious life.
In this environment, what he said is that those behaviors that pursue showing off their power, showing off their wealth, and showing off their power are the most respected.
But Guo Kang's own thoughts are different.
When he discovered that divinity was fictional, he abandoned faith and pursued matter, which in his opinion was manifestation of relying too much on God. He himself didn't care about these things at all.
Whether the concepts of "meaning" and "existence" have meaning or sacredness does not matter to him. After all, he himself is a person who often makes up scriptures to use. If this meaning can be used,
That makes sense; if divineness helps him, then it has divineness. It's that simple.
Is the profound history, brilliant collective honor, and unity of faith constructed out of thin air? Of course, it is. After all, these are indeed purely artificial products produced in human society.
So are they meaningful? Of course, there are also. Although they are "fictional" by people, they can indeed make people organize them. After they are organized, the power generated is not "fictional".
Back then, the ancestor of Homo sapiens fought all over the world by "telling stories" and using an imaginary community to unite more people, and ultimately defeated all competitors. In the era when he lived, this skill was equally important.
——There is no way, people without organization can't beat organized people.
Therefore, fiction is also fiction. He doesn't care about the concept itself. Anyway, the fictional fist can really hit people.
Guo Kang has never been able to understand the feeling of "deficiency" - because he doesn't care about religious beliefs at all, and if there is no, there will be nothing.
This also made him unable to understand the worship of God and the sublime existence; nor could he understand the spirit of pursuing material desires after the lack of divinity. It was considered to be neither.
Over time, he even doubted whether he was an extremely cold person in essence. He had always regarded other people's beliefs, both positive and negative, as tools that can be analyzed and used. According to Xiao Renna
His popular knowledge is called "arrogance", which is considered the biggest crime in the religious system.
Of course, this also made him incompatible with many people in his previous life. He did not look like a civilized and advanced modern man, but instead looked like a violent maniac who was conservative, backward, and full of fighting and fighting.
Guo Kang himself couldn't even refute it. Because he did often think about what to do if a society that gave up "meaning" encountered war?
He has never received satisfactory answers in the past, and people just kept telling him that the world would be peaceful and there would be no large-scale wars. So those once magnificent narratives are meaningless.
But will humans really never fight again?
Fortunately, he doesn't need to care about this issue now.
The Purple Horde is surrounded by violent and mad barbarians in the literal sense. Whether the sense of honor and historical responsibility exists in theory must not be understood. But in theory, people will die if they are killed - this is very
Easy to understand.
After he finished speaking, his adoptive father nodded quickly. Perhaps he was also a relatively simple violent maniac, so it was easy to understand Guo Kang’s thoughts...
The adopted mother looked at Guo Ponu with some concern, then looked at Guo Kang, and said, "You continue talking, I probably understand what you mean."
"My idea is that status, power, wealth, these are just tools." Guo Kang hopes to make it clear as much as possible: "I do need them, but they can be used to help. So whether it is the head of the family or the consultant, it is good.
, I really don't care. It's enough to just help me and give me the opportunity to try and realize my wish."
"Anyway, I can't only serve the country by in charge of family affairs." He thought for a while and gave an example: "At that time, I will go to Tuohuan's subordinates to work, and even follow Xiao Rangna and the others to work abroad, and they will all be the only ones who will do their best.
It's OK."
"Of course, I think the church may be the best place to go. Master Wang has always wanted me to work in the church for a long time..."
"You want to become a monk? How can you do it!" Before he finished speaking, Guo Ponu interrupted directly: "You must get married!"
"Didn't I follow your words?" Guo Kang could no longer understand her logic: "If you don't rob the head of your family, are you still unhappy? What's the matter with me getting married?"
"Also, going to the church is not a monk in the temple. The church has a lot of positions responsible for administration and research, and those are suitable for me. And even if it is a monk, only a part of the church can make it impossible to get married.
Do you even know this?"
In the Greek tradition, priests have two kinds of divine qualities, black and white. White priests can get married, but their positions can only be below bishops. Black priests need to become monks, and theoretically there is no upper limit for their positions. Of course, since the emperor often
Manipulating church affairs and even appointing and removing the Patriarch according to one's own preferences, so this system is not very strict.
As for the Purple Horde's own church, it was close to the administrative staff and there was almost no restriction. The three great pagans had no wives when they took office, which was more of a personal act and a compromise made to the Greek believers at that time.
Guo Kang didn't have to be the Patriarch, he just wanted to use the church to do research, and these unspoken rules had nothing to do with him.
Guo Kang suspected that Guo Ponu might not have any understanding of the church. He couldn't figure out such an important organization, and he didn't know what she was thinking every day...
Although it was not stated clearly, everyone knew what he wanted to express according to Guo Kang's expression. After being so illogical for a few times, Guo Kang's patience had dropped a lot, just like "Can you be the head of your family like this?"
"Written on your face...
"Okay." The adopted mother hurriedly spoke to prevent them from arguing again: "Kang'er, your sister sometimes likes to speak angry words, so don't take it seriously."
"She is not up to her to decide who will take over your father and manage the affairs of the clan in the future. When it really comes, your father and you and your uncles will discuss and determine the candidates. Who has talent? Everyone
They will see it."
She said so, and Guo Kang could only nod.
"There shouldn't be such a big misunderstanding between our family. Don't be stubborn, your sister is actually for your own good." The adopted mother continued to persuade: "Like her parents, she will not harm you. You
Tell me right, a slave?"
As she said that, she glared at Guo Ponu, who had not yet moved, and wanted her to express her opinion quickly.
"That's the case, but how did I know what she said is true?" Guo Kang couldn't help but complain: "Will she point at Marmara Sea and swear?"
"Okay, too." Guo Ponu actually thought seriously and answered in a disgusting way.
“…”
This made Guo Kang silent.
Next to him, the adoptive father couldn't help laughing.
"I've heard this allusion tell you earlier, but I still remember it now." He smiled and said, "Posou, you really haven't read any books! Hahaha--"
"Why are you laughing at?" The adopted mother couldn't stand it anymore, and slapped the table and interrupted him: "Is there anyone who jokes about her daughter like this?"
"Hey..." Guo Kang held his forehead with headache.
