Chapter 13 The Descendants of the Dragon
(Thanks to "Silly Huan who loves to read" for being popular, and thanks to "I 0 Alsace 0 dozen money" for the 10,000 reward, more updates will be added tomorrow),
"One beef mince with potatoes, one grilled salmon, one Caesar salad, one raspberry mille-feuille pie, one chocolate eclair, and finally a cup of black coffee and a cup of mixed juice. Thank you." Xie Minyun said in a fluent and pure way
French finished ordering, then closed the menu and handed it to the waiter in a white apron.
Cheng Mo was pretending to look at the people walking on the street with a somewhat reserved posture. In fact, he had been secretly looking at Xie Minyun just now. There was a slight flush on her fair cheeks, and there were thin beads of sweat on her forehead.
She is a little different from the usual cold and calm person, with a little more of a human atmosphere.
At this moment, the two of them were sitting in a cafe called "Chezprune" on the corner of the street not far from the Louvre. The decoration inside was quite old-fashioned, with high roofs and soft light, and rows of small blackboards with writings on them.
Beautiful French menu, judging from the sitting posture and leisurely level, everyone sitting there is an authentic Parisian.
Cheng Mo and Xie Minyun did not sit inside the crowded place, but sat outside under the awning fan. The location of the cafe was good, with the blue and satin-like Seine River not far away, and a neat row of French plane trees beside them.
The breeze blew by, and the shadows of the trees swayed in the bright sunshine. It was really leisurely and warm.
Cafes are the nests of French people, where they rest and keep warm. In France, countless literati are keen to sit in cafes, think and discuss life.
"It's a pity that this place is a bit far from the Flower Goddess. Otherwise, we can go sit somewhere and feel the residual atmosphere of Sartre, Wilde and Hemingway." Xie Minyun nodded his chin with one hand and rested his hand naturally on his thigh.
Her posture is like that of a proud cat, looking coldly at her scrapper.
Wilde and Hemingway are well-known figures, while the French philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre is relatively unknown to the public, but Sartre is an important figure in the history of French philosophy. In 1943, Sartre published
"Being and Nothingness" became the new hegemony that dominated Parisian culture. Only three years later, his influence reached its peak. This glorious period among Parisian intellectuals was centered on Sartre.
Speaking of "Being and Nothingness", which marks the establishment of Sartre's unique philosophical edifice, people who do not study philosophy will not understand it, but when it comes to the saying "Hell is other people" that is familiar to young people in literature and art, maybe you will remember it.
This literary and artistic French philosopher.
Cheng Mo has his own understanding of this difficult and obscure book "Being and Nothingness". Although he was once a person in despair, he is not pessimistic. "I actually don't agree with Sartre's point of view. Life is meaningless."
Meaning is the position of a pessimist. From Schopenhauer to Nietzsche, to Sartre, and Camus. They are all thinking about a question. Compared with the vast universe and the long time, human beings are too insignificant. Since sooner or later
If you have to die, what's the point of living? Sartre's answer is: human life is meaningless, but looking for the meaning of life is meaningful. But I don't think so. Things like meaning are all given by humans, so
It is a variable thing, with different demands at different stages of life. For ordinary people, when we are children, we long for toys, when we grow up, we long for houses and cars, and when we are middle-aged, we long for a satisfactory partner, and cute children are important to us.
For me, a cup of hot milk when you wake up in the morning, turning on your phone to see what interesting things are happening in the world, opening a book in the sun and reading a twists and turns story are all the meaning of living. There is no need to look for these things.
It is all around us. Those who think life is meaningless are all sick."
"Probably only the idle philosophers will try their best to think about the 'meaning of living'. Ordinary people work nine to five, are exhausted from work during the day, and watch dramas, play games, fall in love, and take care of themselves at night.
Children, there are many interesting things to do. In addition, there are many things about survival that must be done. Who would think about such boring problems? So this book is to solve the psychological problems of a certain group of people. Sartre's theory
, has long been evolved, enriched, and deepened by existential psychologists. Isn’t it a branch of philosophy that is used to solve human psychological problems? "Psychology"!" Xie Minyun put the hand on his knee on the table, and gently
The rhythmic tapping on the glass panel echoed the sound of her voice. It was really a moving piece of music.
The two then discussed Sartre for a long time until the drinks and meals were served.
Xie Minyun pondered for a while and said: "Actually, this book needs the original French version. I think whether it is the Sanlian version or Chen Xuanliang's translation, it is not so smooth due to grammatical reasons, so it is more difficult to read. I think Jiang Sa should be read
The unique thought is understood as: What is important is not the result of finding meaning, but the process of finding meaning, because in the endless search, you temporarily grasp the meaning itself and temporarily control your life."
"Listening to what you said, it is true that the translation may not be accurate and I misread it. My French is not very good. I wonder how the English translation is?"
"The English version was translated by Hazelbarnes, which is much better than the Chinese version. In fact, I still recommend that you read the original French version. If you don't understand anything, you can ask me. I can just return the favor of teaching me psychology."
Cheng Mo shook his head, "Thank you. I teach you psychology in the hope that you can keep it secret from Du Leng, so you don't owe me anything. Although there are some fallacies and inconsistencies, I should compare the original version and the translated version.
There’s no problem. In fact, I’m not very interested in Sartre, so I probably won’t read it too seriously. I think it’s a good reason to study French.”
Xie Minyun did not force it, "I quite like your attitude towards life. You are much more positive and optimistic than I thought. I thought people like you must be pessimistic and negative! I didn't expect you always exceed my expectations."
As he said that, Xie Minyun cut the grilled salmon in half on his plate and put it on Cheng Mo's plate with a fork, "You also have a taste. The grilled salmon here tastes good. In exchange, give me some minced potatoes and beef."
Eating food from the same plate is a very intimate act in Cheng Mo's opinion, second only to indirect kissing like drinking from the same bottle of water, so Cheng Mo hesitated and said, "If you don't mind, then I'll
Cut some of the untouched bits here for you."
"Of course I don't mind. I thought about it when I ordered it. I can't finish it by ordering two portions, but I really want to eat both. It would be perfect to have someone like you who is not a picky eater to accompany me."
Cheng Mo carefully cut off a large piece of pizza-like potato and beef mince, protected it with a spoon and a knife, and put it into Xie Minyun's white disk.
Xie Minyun said calmly: "Thank you." On the surface, she looked normal, but actually she was a little shy inside. This was also her first time sharing food with others, and it always felt a little weird, but she couldn't explain why it was strange.
, I could only pretend to eat it as if nothing had happened.
For Cheng Mo, this job was much more difficult than helping Fu Yuanzhuo cheat during the final exam. When he saw Xie Minyun asking for a small spoon and eating potato and beef mince like ice cream, Cheng Mo quickly lowered his head and said seriously
He looked at the food on his plate and did not dare to look at Xie Minyun.
"By the way, weren't we talking about reptilians at the beginning?" Cheng Mo broke the subtle silence caused by the exchange of food between the two people. This was the first time that he wanted to cater to others to avoid embarrassment. In fact, he never did.
He didn't mind if the atmosphere would be bad, but of course he was still very interested in the Reptilian thing.
Xie Minyun swallowed the potato and beef mince in his mouth and took a sip of lemonade. "Reptilians are also called lizard people. They are considered to be extraterrestrial creatures living on the earth. Because of some people's confusion and slander, they were
I think it’s a myth. In fact, I don’t think it’s accurate to translate them as reptilians or lizardmen. Although they are indeed covered in scales and have eyes like lizards, there is actually another creature that is similar to them, that is”
"snake!"
"snake!"
The two people said in unison.
Xie Minyun curled up the corner of his mouth slightly, "You've thought of it too! Although I didn't see any precious information when I went to the National Museum of Iraq, I still found some video materials, including slate paintings from the Sumerian civilization period.
Photos, and some pictures of sculptures about the Anunnaki. In fact, in the ancient Mesopotamian civilization, the word used to describe the ancient Anunnaki was 'sir', which translated means 'dragon' or
'Big snake', it is actually more reasonable to call them snake people or dragon people. As for why they are called reptilians or lizard people, I don't know. I guess they don't want people to have more associations."
"Because the meaning of saying they are snake people is completely different. In the Bible, snakes are the incarnation of the devil Satan and the cause of human suffering and sin. The snake's lies made Adam and Eve eat the forbidden fruit, thus
The Garden of Eden has been lost forever. In addition, there is Quetzalcoatl worshiped by Americans, and the most amazing thing is that we Chinese people, Fuxi and Nuwa, also have human heads and snake bodies. I saw a pair of Astana 76 in Turpan City in 1967.
In the Tang Dynasty silk painting unearthed from Tomb No. Fuxi and Nuwa, the sun is on her head and the moon is on her feet. The sky behind her is full of stars. Various constellations are faintly visible. Among them, there are several constellations that are not visible at all today, such as ten stars.
The isosceles triangle constellation is a bit incredible. Fuxi and Nuwa have an extremely weird mating in the majestic cosmic background. What shocked me is that the tails that are intertwined with each other have already exceeded the dimension of myth.
The shape and lines of the tail are obviously alluding to human beings. This is the key to human reproduction. DNA, the double helix molecular structure of deoxyribonucleic acid, the basic genetic material of organisms. I later learned that there are more than one such painting. Among them, the American doctor of Boston
The property management also has a collection, which was also stolen after being unearthed in Xinjiang. In 1983, the Chinese version of UNESCO's magazine "International Social Sciences" was used as a trial issue, titled "Transformation of All Things"
, this ancient painting of Fuxi and Nuwa having sex was published on the home page illustration, which instantly shocked the world.”
"If you want to see again, in our China, the shape of the dragon is not only like a snake, but also a bit like a lizard. What do we Chinese call ourselves? Descendants of the dragon, descendants of the dragon. What's even more incredible is that in "Fuxi and Nuwa"
Above, Nuwa is holding something like a ruler, while Fuxi is holding something like a ruler, which is almost the same as the composition of the representative coat of arms of Freemasonry."
Cheng Mo listened to Xie Minyun's eloquent talk and was completely stunned. He knew some things, but he really didn't know about "Fuxi and Nuwa Pictures". He thought of his "Ouroboros" and what he saw on the rooftop that day.
The "Tai Chi Dragon"-like badge worn by Du Leng made Cheng Mo increasingly confused about what the world should look like. Originally, he thought the Ouroboros watch was magical enough, but upon further investigation, it seemed that behind the scenes
is a huge unimaginable fact
This fact is more fantasy than science fiction.
Cheng Mo felt his throat was a little dry for the first time, "So how much do you know about Freemasonry?"
Xie Minyun tilted his head and thought for a moment, then whispered: "Freemasonry? I don't know much. I only know that at the end of 1759, the Swedish East India Company's "Prinecarl" arrived in Yangcheng, and the Freemasons on board landed and held a ceremony. This is the earliest record of Freemasonry activities in my country. In the 32nd year of Qianlong's reign in the Qing Dynasty, that is, 1767, the Freemasonry opened the 407th branch of Yilu under the General Assembly of England in Guangcheng. At that time, it was still open to foreigners. During the Sino-Japanese War, many Chinese people joined the Freemasonry. During the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese banned Freemasonry activities. However, this did not prevent the growth of Freemasonry in our country. By the time the Anti-Japanese War ended, there were six Philippine Freemasonry branches. Almost all the members are Chinese, and they initiated the establishment of the Grandlodge of China. However, all this came to an abrupt end in 1952. All the Freemasonry in China was closed down. Only the one in Hong Kong still exists, but in fact the Freemasonry still exists. The potential influence of the Freemasons in our country is not small. There is a famous family who is a member of the Freemasons. They have contributed a lot to the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States."
"Which family?"
Xie Minyun was waiting for an answer when a female voice sounded: "Xie? I guessed you would come here. Isn't this your boyfriend?"
Cheng Mo followed the sound and saw a pair of young foreign men and women standing under a tall French plane tree. The girl was plump, wearing a burgundy skirt, and her blond hair fell down her shoulders.
The boy is tall and handsome, with curly chestnut hair. He has a bit of Italian appearance, and is rugged without losing refinement. On his cuffs is a gold and blue shield-shaped badge. The central medal of the shield is the French Legion of Honor, surrounded by
