In the next few days, the city of Athens was completely immersed in a carnival of ideas, and the Tao Te Ching spread by Socrates undoubtedly caused a sensation in the whole city - in this era of Athens, the citizens were idle and looking for something to do.

The Tao Te Ching handed down by the sage Taishang Laojun comes from Chinese civilization!

Gradually, on the streets of Athens, there were more "Taoist friends" who saluted with one hand after meeting, which is a good thing that Zhu Xiaoyong did. This guy is ostentatiously talking to a few guard slave girls about the watch world, some Xianxia Xiuzhen novels.

The results spread.

From mortals to immortals, this kind of content just caters to the aspirations of the citizens of Athens and the patriarchs.

What Taoist friends, please stay, dead Taoist friends do not die poor Dao, such black words also spread in Athens.

The Tao Te Ching gave the Athenian scholars a huge shock, and the worship of Taishang Laojun in the whole city almost reached the level of the local gods - and according to "Zhu Xiaoyong", this scripture implied some exercises, such as "longevity".

Just one name can make people rush adrenaline violently, and their hearts are full of fiery exercises!

The current situation in Athens worries Pericles, and the city-state, which was once familiar and single-handedly pushes it to glory, suddenly becomes somewhat unfamiliar. The sad thing is that both the citizens and the elders are addicted to cultivating immortals and can't extricate themselves, and he wants to expel the three Huaxia, but no one supports him at all.

Cups......

A few days later, a messenger with a torch and a wreath on his head arrived in Athens.

The Olympiad is about to begin!

In Greece at this time, the Olympic Games were of great importance, for example, even if there was a war in some city-states, the flames of war would be extinguished when the torch arrived, and the fierce fighting people laid down their arms and returned to peaceful life.

People forgot about hatred, forgot about war, ran to Olympia, went to the Olympiad.

In the Hall of the Patriarchs, after receiving the envoys, Pericles and the Interior Ministers discussed the selection of the Olympians, and then talked about the three Chinese envoys. According to the guard's report, the man named Yan Luo has been exercising with an extremely long and heavy stick every day for the past few days.

The one called Wang Dongwei is practicing swordsmanship, as for the fat man, in addition to eating and sleeping, that is, telling books, he can eat very much, and he can eat a roast leg of lamb in one meal!

"Aren't these three guys going to continue to the west and spread culture? How to stay here and not leave. When Pericles thought about it, he felt depressed.

"I have an idea."

The patriarch who had written a poem in praise of autumn pants stood up and said: "Athens is a shame that it was culturally defeated by the envoys of China, a complete failure. But...... The Olympiad brought together our heroes from all over Greece. ”

"Sports, which can bring people a strong body, a toned body, is as important as culture! Are we ...... Can you use this conference to wash away the shame of failure? Let the citizens of Athens know that the Chinese envoy is not invincible. ”

Pericles' heart suddenly had some thoughts, which could not only drive away the hateful fellows, but also slowly bring Athens back to its original track without these sources of disturbance.

It can also be used to make the Athenians regain their confidence in Greek culture, instead of now all of them are eager to cultivate immortals.

He hesitated, "But...... For the Olympiad, you must be a Greek citizen to participate. ”

"It's so simple, just give them the status of an honorary citizen of Athens!" The patriarch said indifferently, "Three of them...... To be precise, it was the young man named Yanluo, whose wisdom, erudition, and fitness showed that even a citizens' assembly could pass this proposal. ”

"Let the foreigner who insulted the Greek civilization become an honorary citizen? It's a shame......"

Pericles hesitated for a long time, then finally gritted his teeth and nodded.

Now Athens can no longer let the Chinese stay.

Otherwise there is no telling what will happen!

In the past few days, Herodotus tore up his "History" and set up a study group to study the values of "prosperity, democracy, civilization, harmony, freedom, equality, justice, rule of law, patriotism, dedication, integrity, and friendliness" and prepare to rewrite history.

Euripides and Sophocles, two original rivals, are actually teaming up to make a Xiuzhen-themed drama and participate in the Dionysian Festival. The content is the story of an ordinary boy who became an immortal through cultivation, and even the name is good: The Legend of Mortal Cultivation of Immortals.

Thucydides, obsessed with the history of China, is examining the Greek gods, in the Great War of the Flood and the War of the Gods, how much strength there is.

Democritus analyzed the "vitality" of the Tao Te Ching, and based on the theory of atoms and motion, he created a method of cultivating the truth: "qigong", in which the human body has vitality, and by controlling the movement of these atomic particles, that is, sensing and transporting the vitality in the body, strengthening the body, and even improving the life form, cultivating into immortals.

Now, in the city of Athens, the qigong class run by Democritus is in full swing.

Hippocrates has begun to recruit warriors who will travel eastward to learn from the scriptures.

As for the first wise man of Athens, Socrates, founded a society called "Worship Papa Religion" and gathered many people together to study the content of the Tao Te Ching. On the wall of the association was also hung a banner written on the cloth in the "Chinese characters" that he had asked for when he visited the Chinese envoys.

It is said to have incredible power, and the "Tao" is a mantra that saves the world:

"Song of the Original Way of Salvation"

The great origin of the Tao comes from the sky, and I would like to make the heavenly way feel the sages;

Heaven is only blessed with good fortune, and he turned back to the ancestral whip as soon as possible;

The root of the Taoist system is the only one, and the past dynasties have no successor;

Enjoy the blessings of heaven and get rid of the world;

Don't be involved in all worldly feelings, you must donate all delusions.

Thinking of the present state of the city of Athens, Pericles was so sad that he almost burst into tears, and he looked up at the sky and was speechless.

Why is this happening?

The Olympics are a rare opportunity to change the focus of citizens and increase their pride, and the Greeks should be able to play a role in defeating the Chinese envoys in such games. And, most importantly, with the participation of three people, they will leave Athens and go to the city-state of Olympia.

Now, the only question is whether the three of them are willing to participate in the Olympics.

Pericles sent a soldier directly to inquire.

Then he got an answer that made him happy.

"Good!"

Pericles quickly and efficiently informed the 500 councillors, and after some deliberation, the councillors passed a resolution to grant the three men honorary citizenship of Athens – and at the same time allow them to participate in the Olympic Games as Athenian athletes.

Of course, the original athletes from Athens will also be there.

When this resolution was passed, the councillors and senators disbanded, and the poet senators, who had made the suggestion, returned to their homes and joyfully took out a suit of bright yellow trousers.

Fat house Zhu Xiaoyong's yellow shirt and yellow shorts.

"Such a color, and a softer feel than linen......" The patriarch took off Himashen and put on his shirt and shorts, he lowered his head, and the more he looked at it, the more he rejoiced, "I want to make a poem for this golden shirt and shorts......

"I have a beautiful garment, like a garment of gold thread, and I put it on my body, and there will be no more sorrow in my heart. Golden garments, ah! Gorgeous clothes, how splendid, how beautiful. ”
