The king's mainland talent plunder

Chapter 165 Thousand Cave City

Leaving the Great Wall, the two embarked on the road to the Thousand Caves City to the west.

Along the way, Jia Luo excitedly introduced to Zheng Qing how brilliant the Thousand Cave City was.

"Thousand Cave City is a city of scholars for the purpose of spreading the fire of knowledge. In Thousand Cave City, there are gathered a group of wise men who admire knowledge and have the gift of prophecy. There are also many sculptures and academies in Thousand Cave City. The academic atmosphere is extremely strong .” Jia Luo thought about the City of Thousand Caves that existed a few years ago, and it was a city where people could speak freely.

In that place, everyone can express their opinions without worrying about being opposed or persecuted due to differences in class or position. In Thousand Cave City, everyone can find their own position.

"The climate of Thousand Cave City is actually very good. It is close to the ocean, without the obstruction of tall mountains, and the climate is pleasant. This makes the academics of Thousand Cave City have nothing to worry about. The center of Thousand Cave City is the library, which is located at the foot of the mountain and is covered by vegetation. The statues of the past library directors stand directly opposite the library gate, and every library director is the lord of the Thousand Caves City."

"To go to the library, you have to pass through a corridor called the Proverbs Corridor. There are many stone tablets engraved with the history of Thousand Cave City and the proverbs of wise men. It is a wonderful place to let your thoughts fly, where it is easy to get the truth and calm your heart."

"The most important and beautiful thing in Thousand Cave City is the books in Thousand Cave City." When Jia Luo said this, an uncontrollable smile spread wildly from the corner of his mouth, "There are many precious books in Thousand Cave City. Manuscripts, ancient collections, tell stories of the rise and fall of many civilizations, or of grandeur."

Listening to Jia Luo's description, Zheng Qing gradually conceived a city with thousands of caves in his mind. It is a city surrounded by mountains and rivers, surrounded by lush forests, with a very pleasant climate and an open mind. power to express ideas.

For some reason, Zheng Qing thought of the city-state of Athens in ancient Greece, which was also a fully democratic area. Early humanism was born here. Athens has a strong academic atmosphere, and it also gave birth to many famous philosophers, such as Su Grates, Plato, Aristotle and many other big cows.

At the same time, China was in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and the vigorous contention of a hundred schools of thought also drew a strong stroke in history.

Zheng Qing sighed: "That is really a beautiful place."

In Zheng Qing's impression, there is no such place in the Heluo Empire, and the centralization of power means the centralized control of thoughts. Split.

"That's right, the beautiful place was invaded by brutal demons and suffered a catastrophe." Jia Luo sighed incomparably, "If the murderer is really Marco Polo, then I must kill him with my own hands. "

Zheng Qing shook his head, and said, "Leave it to me. He invaded the Great Wall and Thousand Cave City, and Sheng was indirectly killed by him. Killing him will dirty your hands."

Jia Luo said: "Then I should kill him with my own hands, and then cast him into a stone statue, let him kneel outside the Thousand Cave City forever, and atone for the sins of the innocent souls who died in vain in the Thousand Cave City!"

Feeling Galo's anger, Zheng Qing quickly changed the subject, he said: "I once had a dream, a dream of incomparable brilliance. In the dream, there was a country called ancient Greece, and the capital of ancient Greece was called Athens. A city like a city of thousands of caves, where the academic atmosphere is as strong as that of a city of thousands of caves."

"Really?" Jia Luo immediately became sexually interested, "Xiao Ming, what kind of place is the city in your dream like?"

Zheng Qing thought for a while, trying to recall his high school knowledge, and then said: "It should also be an area surrounded by mountains and rivers, close to the Aegean Sea, and the climate is not bad. In that area, every citizen has the right to manage the country. The coexistence of power, democracy and the rule of law makes it necessary for every citizen to receive education, thus promoting a strong academic atmosphere in the local area.”

"There is the same as in Thousand Caves City. Everyone doesn't have to worry about anything. They can exchange ideas and academics freely, and a splendid civilization is bred."

"That's a good place too." Jia Luo smiled, as if he saw the shadow of his Thousand Caves City from the Athens that Zheng Qing said, and Jia Luo then asked: "Then what happened later? What happened to Athens later?"

Zheng Qing thought about it again, but in the end he still didn't tell Galo that Athens was in frequent foreign wars or was crushed by Macedonian and Roman cavalry.

After all, the final ending of Thousand Cave City is also destruction, and the ending of ancient Athens with a strong academic atmosphere is also destruction. If Zheng Qing told Jia Luo this ending, Jia Luo would definitely be even more sad.

Jia Luo loves knowledge, but the end of the city of knowledge is destruction. Isn't this a stab in Jia Luo's heart?Instead of making Jia Luo sad, it is better to let Jia Luo have some fantasies about ancient Athens, so Zheng Qing said with a smile: "I woke up later, so I don't know about Athens. However, it should be a Good place, right?"

"I hope that place won't suffer a devastating blow like the City of Thousand Caves." Jia Luo, who loves learning, prayed for three seconds for Athens, which has the same strong academic atmosphere.

Although in Jia Luo's heart, Athens is just Zheng Qing's dream, but for Jia Luo, that place has become Jia Luo's spiritual sustenance, entrusting his longing for the Thousand Caves City.

"The seeds of civilization will last forever." Zheng Qing said: "Life is an extremely tenacious place."

"Books are fleeting things, only civilization lasts forever." Jia Luo said: "This is what my father told me before he died. I still haven't understood the profound connotation of this sentence."

"Hmm." Zheng Qing shrugged, "I can't understand either."

Jia Luo is a knowledgeable and cultured person with a very profound cultural background. In Zheng Qing's eyes, that sentence is an ordinary sentence. He can't see the meaning behind it. After all, Zheng Qing was just an ordinary person with no cultural background. Gallo is so deep.

Jia Luo smiled, and then said reminiscingly: "I haven't set foot on this road for a year or two. I haven't come back since I left Thousand Cave City last time. The main reason is that I don't dare. I'm afraid that I will Facing the city of Thousand Caves in ruins alone, it will collapse immediately."

"So Jia Luo, here I come." Zheng Qing took Jia Luo's hand and said, "I will accompany you to witness the decline of Thousand Cave City."

The temperature coming from his hand was accompanied by a solid force, Jia Luo nodded heavily, "Okay!"
