Chapter 722 Newton’s Fourth Law
"You seem to be smiling happily. Did you receive some message?"

"Ah, nothing."

"Is it information you don't want to reveal? That's fine." Little Pompeo nodded, "There is still some distance from the metropolitan subway station where [Aotearoa] is buried. Taking advantage of this period, I would like to tell you You have a question related to this mission."

"Huh?" Shangluo put the phone away, "Excuse me."

"Thank you for answering me with a simple greeting like 'please'. As a foreigner, it is really difficult for me to learn the complex and solemn greeting system of the Cathayans. It is really difficult for us .”

"It's okay, sometimes we don't use it often ourselves." Shangluo also discovered. In fact, everyone, including Zhu Xianfen, uses vernacular in daily conversations and rarely uses respectful words. Only when you actually write it will you write it seriously - of course, although you don't say it, everyone knows it, and of course they will say it when necessary. But when everyone didn't say much verbally, it wouldn't cause any trouble to Shangluo, who was not very good at using respectful words.

But on the other hand, it was precisely because he had no opportunity to practice that he never knew exactly what was included in this systematic course that he learned from senior elementary school to junior high school. After all, he happened to be absent from compulsory education when this class was taking place.

Now he had a vague feeling - the little Pompeo in front of him seemed to be looking for him for "Chinese conversation practice". This is probably because he usually can't find any environment to use it. It's hard to find a person of equal status who can sit down and talk, so he speaks more and practices more.

"So, ask, what do you want to ask?"

"I want to know what you know about the extraordinary road of the Romans. Where does this road ultimately lead? Just a few keywords."

It is true, but it is also true, Shangluo does know the basics.

"Ah, your knowledge is very sufficient. These are the basic theories of the extraordinary world. But on top of this, the principles we adhere to must be more specific."

"So, more specifically?"

[You really have high emotional intelligence. What he means is that you only know the surface. 】

"Let me think about it" Shangluo pondered for a while, "Alchemy? Triple greatness? Tree of Kabbalah?"

"It's what I mentioned before - in the legend, the first generation of gold humans became angels. The second generation of silver humans became elves. The third generation of bronze humans became the shadowless army of Hades. The fourth generation The Romans, the heroes of mankind, will probably turn into stone after their blood dries up. Let’s not mention the fifth generation of humans for now, the previous process is the most important. No matter which generation, they are all humans after all, right?”

"Oh? What do you mean?"

"Humans can also become angels. This is the ultimate goal of alchemy - to restore the golden generation of immortal humans in this heroic age. For this reason, humans must go back step by step along this road. First, Bronze, then silver, and finally gold. First, he returned to the intangible form of bronze, then resurrected in the spiritual world as a silver elf, and finally moved towards the immortal gold. To this end, human beings have made various Try it. Latin or Greek."

"However, you seem to think there is something wrong with the Greek route?" "What you mean is that if you are a little more serious, I won't be able to keep up."

"It is used to replace the honorific of 'your country'. We only use this for Rome. Well, I don't know if it is appropriate, but it is not a problem to use it for Colombia for now."

Because after the fall of Rome, it is still questionable whether Columbia is qualified to be the "successor of Rome" and the "eyes of the world".

However, Rome has not yet perished. Columbia is still part of Rome, so there is no problem in using the honorific terms used to refer to Rome.

"So, what do you think the problem is?" Shangluo asked.

"We believe that there is a problem with the direction of the Greeks. There is no need to enter the underworld step by step and become a shadowless bronze man. According to God's promise, human beings in the heroic fourth age have their own destination: Elysium (Pure Land of Paradise) . We believe that this Pure Land already exists in the material world. In order to distinguish it from the Greek view, we use the Sinian word 'Blissful Land' to express it."

"Interesting. So it's the same Elysium, but you two use different Chinese characters to represent it?"

"Because the meanings are different and the sources are all Elysium, we use different Chinese characters to express it - this is the use of academic Sinian here. Different from the illusory Pure Land of Paradise established by the Greeks in Alexandria, we The Latin side believes that Elysium should already exist in the known world, and there is no need to sink oneself first.”

"I can understand this." Shangluo nodded. After all, the Romans used "Chinese" as a tool. Of course, they would have some unique usages of their own. "So what is your route?"

"Next, I want to tell you a secret. A secret that even the Greeks may not know. The distant sage Isaac Newton was once hit by an apple when he was a child. He realized a truth."

"Newton's three laws?"

"???" Little Pompeo was stunned for a moment, "How do you know? Forget it, I won't ask. But what I want to say is not Newton's three laws. In fact, there is a fourth law. Newton In his early years, the sage studied science and politics, and lost money in stock trading. But in his later years, he devoted his life's energy to alchemy and made a great discovery - before that, I want to Check, have you read "Jade Record"?"

"I know. The 'up is down, and down is up' part?"

The Jade Record, rumored to have been obtained by Alexander the Great from the tomb of the main god Thoth in Heliopolis, is an ancient Egyptian alchemical secret book and the basis of alchemical theory. It contains thirteen concise and comprehensive maxims. Because it is well written and coincides with the way of heaven, Taozu has also read it. "Up is down, down is up" is the second sentence of Cuiyulu.

"Exactly this sentence. Newton the sage, based on the truth of 'up is down, down is up', proposed the great Newton's fourth law: Heaven and earth are creations of God, so heaven and earth follow the same principles The truth - according to this law, the falling of apples and the movement of stars follow the same law. In the same way, the blissful land promised by God can certainly be found in the earthly world."

"But..." Shangluo thought for a while, "It seems that such a place does not exist on earth."
