Gel was impressed by Gu Yi's words. Even though he himself was not very learned, he could still distinguish the words of the wise from those of the foolish. He knew that the immortals were indeed great and there was nothing wrong with their actions... but he still couldn't help but feel angry.
Indeed, he himself knew very well that his experience could not be blamed on those disappeared immortals.
After all, these people are so great that in order to make the world develop better, they are willing to abandon themselves, their lofty status and power, and hand over the world to mortals. At the same time, they save mortals from the shackles of fate and no longer let the creatures of this world be controlled by fate.
Even an outsider like him was deeply moved by these sentiments.
But... why should they, the people ruled by the gods, suffer the same sufferings that the people on Earth should suffer?
The immortals were afraid that the gods would abuse and oppress mortals, making the whole world dead silent, so they drove the gods away. But what about their world? When he was in the tribe before, Geer didn't think about what the outside world was like... At that time, he was just an ordinary tribesman. Not to mention the outside world, he didn't even know what the world 30 kilometers away from his tribe was like! The outside world?
He had no idea there was a universe until he killed the gods and escaped from his planet.
In his opinion, there are only stars in the sky, and the stars are the masterpieces of gods. He never thought that those stars are actually planets. On those planets live many lives that are the same as them, but also different.
But he knew that his life was difficult, always hovering on the line between life and death.
And there are many people among those stars who are just like him.
And the source of all this is the gods who were driven out of the earth!
Intellectually, Gel knew that these things should not be blamed on a group of great people who lived ten thousand years ago, but he couldn't accept it emotionally.
This is called: "The truth is simple, but it is easy to know and difficult to practice"
This sentence means: the most valuable truth is actually the simplest truth. It is easier to understand the truth of things, but it is more difficult to do or implement them. The great truth is simple, which means that the great truth (basic principles, methods and laws) is extremely simple, so simple that it can be explained in one or two sentences. As the saying goes, "True teaching can be conveyed in one sentence, false teaching can be conveyed in ten thousand books." Knowing is easy, but doing is difficult, which means that it is easier to understand the truth of things, but it is actually more difficult to implement them; understanding the laws and principles of things is one thing, and being able to do them well is another.
While studying theology these days, Gel discovered a very strange phenomenon.
That is, in a country called Huaxia, philosophy can also become a religion.
Among them, Taoism, in his opinion, was simply... simply... He didn't know how to describe it. They actually invented a philosophy and then extended it into a religion, and even the gods were added later.
This still goes against Gir's view of life. In his view, isn't it that God came first, and then everything else? Can it be the other way around now?
Taoism and Taoism are two terms that people often regard as the same concept and are often used without distinction. Taoism and Taoism, from the outside, seem inseparable, but in essence, they are still different. Taoist thought is a school of philosophy, Taoism is a religious belief, Taoism comes first, Taoism comes later. Taoism is a culmination of Chinese culture that combines Taoism, Confucianism, Buddhism, heaven, earth, man and gods and other traditional Chinese cultures.
The Tao follows all things, respects the differences of all things in the world, and assists in the full development of all differences. Therefore, the Tao has no unified form, and there is no unified way to approach the Tao. Taoists take the Tao as the core, believe that the Tao is inaction, advocate the Tao follows nature, and propose political, economic, state governance, and military strategies such as Tao creates law, the female guards the male, and the combination of hardness and softness, which has a simple dialectical thought.
The origin of Taoism can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. The formation of Taoist thought is mainly based on summarization, development, and writing of classics. Each leap of thought has gone through an extremely long period of accumulation by the people, which once again highlights the vitality of Taoism.
“The Great Way is Simple” comes from the Taoist Laozi’s Tao Te Ching: “At the beginning of all things, the Great Way is simple, and after evolution, it becomes complex.” It means that at the beginning of all things, everything is the simplest, and after evolution, it becomes complex.
Of course, with Geer's level, it is still difficult to understand the Tao Te Ching. Let alone Geer, even if you randomly grab a college student in a Chinese university, he may not be able to recite the Tao Te Ching, let alone understand it. The Tao Te Ching is difficult to understand. It is the highest mountain in China. Lao Tzu may be the oldest among all philosophers, and his thoughts are the most thorough, isolated, and profound. When reading the Tao Te Ching, many people feel that the word "Tao" is mysterious and illusory, and can only be understood but not expressed in words, making the "Tao" very mysterious. In fact, Lao Tzu did not make the "Tao" so mysterious. In the Tao Te Ching, Lao Tzu only talked about two "Tao", one is the "Tao of Heaven" and the other is the "Tao of Sages". Lao Tzu will talk about the "Tao of Heaven" every other paragraph in the Tao Te Ching, and his distribution and layout are reasonable, reminding us to constantly think about the "Tao of Heaven". Then, imitating the "Tao of Heaven" to do the "Tao of Sages" is what the Tao Te Ching wants to do, so the "Tao of Heaven" is very critical. Many people find the Tao Te Ching profound and difficult to understand because they do not understand these two "Tao".
Not to mention Gel, a guy who hasn't even graduated from elementary school.
But even though you may not understand it, some things make sense at first glance.
But the same thing goes, everyone understands the general principles, but who can guarantee that if the general principles apply to them, they can still look at them objectively?
At least Gel doesn't have this level of skill.
So who should be blamed?
Gu Yi could see it, but he didn't think it was strange. As the saying goes, the truth is simple, but it's easy to know and hard to do. She understood this saying much better than Ge Er, an outsider. How could Gu Yi not have read such a top philosophical book as Tao Te Ching?
But... to be honest, every time Ancient One sees the Tao Te Ching, he thinks... it would be great if Lao Tzu was the Supreme Sorcerer, because he would definitely not be as troubled as himself.
She wanted to retire, but she couldn't give up her duties until the next Sorcerer Supreme appeared.
When she was young, she always thought that her teacher was too pretentious.
The Supreme Sorcerer, that is the most glorious title in the whole world. It has power and authority. Why would you feel tired and want to get rid of the burden quickly?
I even think death is a good thing.
This made Gu Yi completely confused.
But after living for hundreds of years... I found out. This job is really not for humans. I can't blame my teacher for being so excited when he found me. Then he quickly taught me and then quickly died...
Now she also wants to do so, but the problem is that before the next Supreme Sorcerer is determined, she, like all previous Supreme Sorcerers, cannot give up her responsibilities.
As the guardian of the earth, the Ancient One has repelled countless threats from the other dimension. You know, as early as 1666, the Ancient One had already started to fight Dormammu, and in addition to Dormammu, many people from other worlds have invaded the earth, and they were all repelled by the Ancient One. In every battle, the Ancient One bears a huge responsibility. After living for so many years and seeing so many things, the Ancient One is tired, so she wants to end it all with her physical death. In addition to protecting the peace of the earth, the Ancient One also has an important mission to protect the safety of the Time Stone. He recruited many disciples just to find an heir. He can continue to protect the Time Stone on his behalf, and he can leave at ease at this time.
There is a saying that goes, when you stare into the abyss, the abyss also stares into you.
Every time he fights Dormammu, Ancient One will be exposed to the power of the dark dimension. This contact will inevitably lead to Ancient One being corrupted by the power of the dark dimension, but in the realm of the taste of darkness, Dormammu is God, which is something Ancient One does not want to do but has to do. Absorbing the energy of the dark space can certainly make Ancient One live longer and more powerful, but if it goes on for a long time, it may make Ancient One lose his mind. He doesn't know when he will lose his mind. Before losing his mind, he chooses death to free himself.
The great guardian, maintaining the safety of the earth, fighting against the invasion of the earth by multiple dimensions, all of this made Ancient One overwhelmed.
In fact, most of the time, Ancient One is not on Earth.
To be precise, her body is on Earth, while her soul is fighting in higher dimensions.
Not everyone can endure this kind of life.
But it is difficult for the Supreme Sorcerer to really go crazy... While the Great Guardian protects the Earth, he also protects the Supreme Sorcerer himself, which makes her constantly swing between madness and sobriety.
This kind of torture is like throwing you into a washing machine, adding boiling water and stirring it continuously!
The key is that this time span will accompany the Supreme Sorcerer throughout his life.
Unless the Supreme Sorcerer dies.
Therefore, immortality has never been a blessing to the Supreme Sorcerer, but the greatest curse.
At that time, Ancient One's eldest disciple Casillas was bewitched by the dark dimension and wanted to rebel.
Furuichi was surprised because he didn't expect someone to be so stupid.
Then she suddenly realized that she had been behaving normally all this time, which had led people to misunderstand her. The position of a Supreme Sorcerer could give a person great power and a long life...So Ancient One told Casillas the truth about himself in the inner world.
And make him feel the same way.
Then Casillas decisively gave up the idea of betrayal.
Casillas is also a poor man. He used to be an ordinary person with his own wife and son. But things don't always go as planned. Casillas' son died unexpectedly. Then his wife also died of grief.
Later, Casillas continued to drink to drown his sorrows due to his grief, until he got into an argument with someone in a bar, was beaten and thrown out.
He met Mordo, who probably saw that Kaecilius had an extraordinary talent for magic, and then Kaecilius came to Kamar-Taj to learn magic from the Ancient One. Kaecilius learned magic very quickly, and soon his strength surpassed most of the Ancient One's apprentices, and even surpassed Mordo to become the senior brother who could teach other apprentices magic. Although learning magic made Kaecilius out of the mundane world, he still couldn't forget his wife and children. In fact, the motivation for Kaecilius to learn magic was his wife and children. Magic is magical. Kaecilius hopes to find a way to reunite him with his wife and children by learning magic. Simply put, Kaecilius hopes to resurrect his wife and children. But it is impossible to take the formal route. After all, this is against the will of heaven, so Kaecilius, who studies magic step by step, will definitely not be able to do it. When Kaecilius came to Kamar-Taj, the Ancient One said that he would help him broaden his horizons and get rid of the pain of the past, but practicing magic did not make Kaecilius forget his wife and children. Later, Kaecilius wanted to learn the magic hidden by the Ancient One, but the Ancient One rejected his request. Of course Casillas did not give up, so he secretly read the locked books.
The Dark Book. A forbidden book!
In fact, Kaecilius was not just peeping, because he was watching in front of the library manager, that is, Lao Wang's beheaded predecessor. At that time, the library was not so strict. Kaecilius found a mysterious ritual in the magic book. This ritual can communicate with the existence beyond time. Kaecilius believes that the ritual is his hope to reunite with his wife and children. Kaecilius betrayed the Ancient One not simply because he wanted to gain eternal life, but because he wanted to reunite with his wife and children. In this respect, he is still quite infatuated. It's just that although Dormammu is powerful, he still can't directly resurrect the dead. Of course, Dormammu did not completely deceive Kaecilius. He is indeed an existence beyond time, and the "dark dimension" can also achieve eternal life. But the creatures who surrender to Dormammu will be changed by him to integrate into the "dark dimension" and live forever with the "dark dimension". (At the end of the movie, Kaecilius and others were taken to the "dark dimension" by Dormammu)
But this can't be entirely blamed on Casillas. Although the Ancient One is the Supreme Sorcerer, she obviously only teaches magic and doesn't understand human hearts, so Casillas's heart disease has never been relieved and finally broke out. The Ancient One has always asked Casillas to abide by the laws of nature, but she chose to absorb the power of the "dark dimension" "in order to prolong her life". After discovering this, Casillas' worldview must have collapsed directly.
It was not until later that he was persuaded by Kai... that Ancient One finally told Casillas the truth.
In fact, Gu Yi did not intend to keep it secret, but she felt that these things did not need to be known to outsiders, as long as her successor understood them.
But I didn't expect such a misunderstanding to occur.
"Okay, Gel, can you tell me what you want to find on Earth?" Ancient One finally asked this question.
She wouldn't mind an outsider living on Earth.
Even if he is the enemy of the Pantheon, that thing means nothing to Ancient One after all.
But we must know what the purpose of this powerful individual is.
