Chapter 116 City Lord
"...The above is - eh, Lang Wu? Do you have any questions to ask? You seem to be absent-minded today?"
"...That's it, teacher." The tall boy knitted his brows tightly together, slowly lowered his raised hand and said, "As for the idealism you mentioned a few days ago, I have been
I’m thinking, but no matter how I think about it, the fact that this world is determined by matter is obvious. Why did those sages you mentioned come to the view that the origin of the world is spirit?”
"Well, this is indeed a very interesting question." Lou Wuchen nodded in approval, looked at the time and said, "I just briefly mentioned materialism and idealism before, because I didn't want you to talk about it too early.
More attention should be paid to the dispute between the two. But since you brought it up, it’s okay. The main content of this class has been covered. There is still some time before the end of class, so we will treat it as additional content after class.
Bar."
"First of all, the meanings of materialism and idealism are not that simple. Within them, they contain many factions and understandings. For example, among idealism, which also agrees that spirit precedes matter, there are
Some believe that there is some kind of actual spiritual body, and matter is born from this spirit; others believe that there is only spirit in the world, and matter is just a collection of ideas in our consciousness..."
"But isn't it ridiculous?" Lang Wu pressed the table in front of him and shouted with a little excitement, "I am right here, this table is right here, so I can feel it, this is the most natural and reasonable
Explanation? It must be said that this table is just a collection of concepts and feelings, but no matter what you do to this 'spiritual table', the feedback you get is the same as to the 'actual table', so what is the difference between the two?
?Isn’t that just pure sophistry?”
Lou Wuchen was stunned for a moment, turned his head and asked, "What do you think of this issue?"
To his surprise, almost the vast majority of the children in the classroom agreed with Lang Wu's statement.
Lou Wuchen looked at the ceiling with a complicated expression and was silent for a while.
When I was teaching them, I always tried to avoid overtly showing my tendencies so as not to stifle their imagination, but did my own dialectical materialist stance and views still subtly influence these children?
"...I won't say whether this view is correct or not. Here are two questions for everyone to think about first." Lou Wuchen said, "First, in our common sense, it may be true that spirit is determined by matter.
Yes, but you must also realize that spirit can subjectively and dynamically act on matter. For example, it can mobilize your body according to your will - and mobilize the changes of aura according to your will. How to understand the influence of this spirit on matter?
The role of matter? This is the first question you need to clarify first."
"Second, does the spirit necessarily reflect matter and cannot precede matter?" Lou Wuchen drew a few lines in the air with his finger, "Which one exists first, the material circle or the spiritual circle?"
"...The circle of matter, right? We saw the circle first, and then we had the concept of the circle, right?"
"But have we really seen a real circle?" Lou Wuchen pulled out a large blackboard compass from the podium, "Lang Wu, can you help me draw a physical circle?"
Lang Wu was a little puzzled, but he still went to the stage and drew a standard circle: "Teacher, is this okay?"
"Okay." Lou Wuchen nodded, "Do you think...this is a standard circle?"
The children were surprised by the teacher's question: "Of course it counts."
"Then, what about this?" Lou Wuchen used a lens to enlarge a small part of the circle on the blackboard, revealing the details of the pits that were different from the rough look. "Such an edge can still be considered
Is it round?”
"Teacher, I can use thinner strokes to draw more perfectly!"
"What if I make it bigger? No matter how thin your pen tip is, what if you enlarge it until it looks as thick as a pillar?"
"...But teacher, then there will be no round that fully meets the standard in this world!"
"Yes." Lou Wuchen nodded and tapped his forehead with his hand, "There is no perfect circle in the real world, so how do we know that these imperfect things are round? After all, we are never perfect.
Has the concept of a perfect circle been extracted from a circle, or do we have the concept of a perfect circle in our minds, so we can see a perfect circle from actual imperfect objects that are not standard circles?”
"Okay, get out of class is over, that's the end of the after-class extra sessions. Let's go do recess exercises. Come back and we'll have the next math class."
More than ten days ago, Lou Wuchen arranged a recess exercise program for the children. The content was... Bajiquan.
Well, yes, although the scene of a group of ten-year-old children playing Bajiquan in an open square under the leadership of Mu Yu is slightly inconsistent, this is exactly the recess exercise here.
Many children were still stunned in their positions, thinking about the problem just now, and some children got up neatly and walked out - but soon, they came back again.
"——Teacher." Mu Yu quickly walked to the podium and reported to Lou Wuchen, "There is someone outside looking for you."
——————————————
"Master Yun." Lou Wuchen walked to the big tree next to the classroom and gave a simple salute to the heroic woman under the tree, "Why are you here?"
"I've been here for a while." Yun Hengdong looked at the children gathered on the playground to start doing exercises, and said with a sentimental look, "Although it's not good for me to force you to do the task, but I
I really didn’t expect that you would achieve this level... Thank you."
"You don't need to say that..." Lou Wuchen smiled bitterly and shook his head, "In the final analysis, this is what I want to do."
"No, this matter is very important to me. I owe you a favor. Is there anything you want? I can satisfy any of your requests."
"Pfft!" Lou Wuchen puffed out a little awkwardly, "Any request?"
Yun Hengdong was not angry at Lou Wuchen's mocking tone and replied seriously: "Yes, any request."
"Forget it." Lou Wuchen waved his hand, "This kind of thing is useless, right? With the relationship between Master and Xing Xi, I won't mention anything that goes against your principles. I can just ask you for help with ordinary things.
That's right, you might as well give me something practical, such as sending me a swordsman to teach the children..."
"Whatever you think." Yun Hengdong didn't seem to be prepared to explain, "But I really can't send you Yanhan and the others. They have important things to do recently and they can't leave."
"So this kind of promise is useless..." Lou Wuchen spread his hands, "So, Chief Yun, why are you here? It's not just to talk about this, right?"
After Yun Hengdong was silent for a while, he took out a delicate jade plate and said, "...it's a matter of appointment."
Lou Wuchen tilted his head in confusion: "Appointment?"
"The appointment given to you by the sect." Yun Hengdong handed the jade plate to Lou Wuchen, "From now on, I will appoint you as..."
"——The Lord of Zhou Gaocheng."
————————————————
"...Huh?" Lou Wuchen was stunned for a long time before he suddenly came to his senses and asked with a dark face, "Are you kidding me?"
"Does it look like it to you?"
"Stop talking!" Lou Wuchen said angrily, "These kids
Let’s not talk about the incident, but for the door-to-door, I can’t think of it as a great contribution to the Jinlu Sect incident. I think that I have given the sect a pretty good solution for the casual cultivators. Regardless of the merit, I will be rewarded.
That’s all, what does it mean to be demoted and become the city lord? Where is the master? Didn’t the master express his opinion? "
Lou Wuchen's anger is not unreasonable. Although the city lords of each city may look glorious to mortals, in the final analysis, to the door, they are just a group of low-level foundation builders with "no potential for progress and no other specialties." Even if Lou Wuchen
Leaving aside his identity as the only disciple of Kaiguang Academy's president Yun Hengguang, his current position is also that of a second researcher in the independent research room of Kaiguang Academy - although this position was only obtained because of Yun Hengguang - let him transfer
Being a city lord is probably like asking a senior product engineer from the headquarters to be transferred to the front line as a salesperson to run sales.
——And the kind with no room for advancement.
"Hengguang...has gone into seclusion recently." Yun Hengdong said with some hesitation, "It seems that some calculations have reached a critical juncture. In order to avoid the interference of chores, he chose to go into seclusion. And this matter is that after Hengguang went into retreat, he became enlightened.
It was provoked by several vice-presidents of the hospital. As I said before, Hengguang faced great challenges in Qiguang Court because of the exceptional treatment given to you, but she suppressed them all. But those people
You are even more dissatisfied, feeling that you have occupied so many resources when you first arrived, but you can't produce any results, and you even left the research laboratory empty for a long time..."
Since he likes to stay with mortals so much, let him be a city lord to manage those mortals - Yun Hengdong felt a little itchy when he thought of the faces of those guys at the meeting.
It's a pity that Qiguang Academy has a transcendent status in the field. Yun Hengdong can join the war department, but he can't go to Qiguang Academy to cause trouble, let alone...
Bastard, if my sister hadn't gone into seclusion, how dare these clowns dance like this?
Yun Hengdong gritted his teeth bitterly, and looked at Lou Wuchen in front of him with some guilt. Lou Wuchen was silent for a while, and then slowly asked: "That arbitrary request...can it be used now?"
"Sorry, I tried my best on this matter, but..."
"Tsk, I knew it was useless..."
Lou Wuchen scratched his head a little irritably. The status of the independent research laboratory and the second researcher is second, and more importantly, it means the use rights of many rare materials and special equipment. These resources cannot even be given directly to Yun Hengguang.
He can only fight for this seat so that he can use it. If you become a mere lower realm city lord, do you want to apply for the use of the Divine Artifact? It’s just a dream!
Lou Wuchen was restless. Now the children's education has gradually got on the right track, and various mineral materials have been collected. He is preparing to go back to Tiangong to allocate equipment and start the next step of research work.
Until now, this has happened!
And when you become a city lord, especially after a big reshuffle like Zhou Gaocheng, there will definitely be a lot of messy things in the initial stage. Lou Wuchen feels that there is not so much time now, and teaching children is not an easy task.
The thing is not only to classify and summarize the knowledge of previous lives, but also to establish an appropriate outline so that the knowledge to be taught can form a coherent system, and to prepare appropriate methods so that the knowledge content can be better understood by children, and more
It is necessary to design a reasonable review and examination - to put it bluntly, it is the homework and examination mechanism - to ensure the learning effect of the children... How can I have time to be the master of this kind of ghost city, and I have no interest in managing such a small town -
……Huh?
Suddenly a bright light flashed in Lou Wuchen's mind.
This city lord position might be... of some use?
"Master Yun, I have been appointed to take over." Lou Wuchen raised his head and looked straight at Yun Hengdong, "But -"
