Hidden Yao Era

"You don't have to worry too much, he's not hostile to you. I just feel that your experience is peculiar, and I am not very comfortable with your aristocratic status. He's worried that you're a powerful son, the kind who can put pressure on him through the top. Yang Dongming said.

"Oh, I'm relieved, and you can tell him that I'm not going to use the military to put pressure on him. Casto said.

"Hahaha, I don't think it's necessary, he's already basically tried out your attitude. You behaved pretty well and didn't make him too suspicious. Well, don't miss too many holes in your experience with Pluto. It is dangerous for you for Sonia and your relationship to leak out. Yang Dongming whispered.

"Well, of course I do. What is this Lieutenant Colonel Lin doing to you?" asked Castor.

"Treat me like a brother. Yang Dongming said.

Casto was amazed, "You can! how did you get along so well with the captain?"

Yang Dongming said proudly: "I saved his life in the last battle, after Winston withdrew from the battle, the entire Seventh Fleet and the enemy fleet were entangled. Some enemy frigates rushed at some aircraft-carrying destroyers without fatalities, and I used a drone to help Lieutenant Colonel Lin block the suicide charge of one of the frigates. After the battle, Lieutenant Colonel Lin applied to the top brass to let me be his aircraft commander. So I came to him as a subordinate. "

"Hahahahaha, you can really do it. Casto said with a smile.

"Well, so you won't have any trouble here, have you met with the crew?" asked Yang Dongming.

"When I saw it, the people were all good, and I felt that they all had a good impression of me, hahaha. I saw a guy with a tattoo, and I told them all the stories of the undead birds on his arm, and I told them all the stories you told me about the undead birds of the earth, and they were all scared by me, hahahahaha!" Casto said proudly.

"Hahahahaha, yes! You can actually learn and use it now!" Yang Dongming said with a smile.

"Well, I do feel that the culture of the earth is particularly interesting now, and all kinds of people in the universe can find it in these cultures of thousands of years ago. It's an amazing feeling. Casto said.

"Yes, and you can still feel the spirit of people at that time through thousands of years. This will make you feel that thousands of years of time are nothing to human beings, and that the noblest and warmest emotions of human beings, the pursuit of eternity, can completely pass through everything and transcend time. Yang Dongming said.

"So how is it that our culture is so mechanical, so stylized, and so cold?" asked Castor.

"I think it's probably because technology has alienated the human spirit, and the human spirit has been alienated into a cold, mechanical and numb state similar to that of technological products. Yang Dongming sighed, and continued: "Do you know that in the golden age of human literary and artistic creation, less than half of the literate people are literate, and only a quarter of the people in most countries are literate, but even so, the elites among them have created huge spiritual wealth. But more than 200 years later, almost all humans are able to read and write. It stands to reason that humans should be more creative at this time. But no, the irony is that humanity is no longer obsessed with creating great works, and even fewer and fewer people are even tasting them. People indulge in things that are becoming more and more immediate, ephemeral, and have a strong stimulus. Most people gained knowledge, but it did not lead to absolute literary and artistic prosperity, and mankind was never able to create great works. The great prosperity of material things has brought great temptations to all people as well as the popularization of knowledge, and these temptations are varied, and the direct pleasure of carnal desires, appetites, and drugs has made most people lose their attention to those timeless, esoteric, and repetitive works and fields. Now that we're still immersed in these immediate joys, I don't think we'll ever be able to go back to that golden age of human creativity. "

Castor nodded and said, "yes, we're tempting too much right now, and I feel like machinery and technology are really changing our minds." It is becoming more and more difficult for people to think about problems for a long time, to create large-scale works with ideological consistency and coherence. When I chatted with Sonia before, I found that she always sent a long list of texts, and the logic was clear and the content was very meaningful. I used to feel annoyed when I read so many words, but I didn't feel annoyed at all when I read her words. I think she's supposed to be that kind of person, capable of creating amazing things. "

"Tsk, I don't know what kind of person she is, but I think you're in love with her. Yang Dongming said.

"Don't talk nonsense! My relationship with her is pure! She's very good, but I shouldn't fall in love with her. Casto said.

"Hahahahaha, you always cling to some ideas that you don't actually believe in. Yang Dongming said.

Yang Dongming's words were like a bolt of lightning striking Castor, making him feel a wit in his heart. He hurriedly said, "Then what do you think is the reason for this?".

Yang Dongming smiled: "Haha! I don't know, why don't you go and ask your sonya?"

Casto also smiled, and he said, "Haha, you gave a good suggestion. I'll also ask her if she can tell us a little bit of information. "

"Hahaha, okay, then you go back and look for her. Yang Dongming said. He then ordered a set meal with Casto at the restaurant. A meal on board is a mix of wheat, potatoes, chicken, beef, leafy greens and carrots, with plenty of flavoring agents in it, and the texture and taste are perfect for the taste of the human tongue. When you eat it for the first time, you will feel that the taste is fresh and salty, and the aroma fills the mouth, which is completely in line with people's expectations of food. But after eating it for a long time, it is easy to get bored, and this food can be described as boring. Castor, who hadn't been a fan of eating it since he came back from Titan, suddenly felt that he had been completely numb to the food, and only felt it with the tip of his tongue. He suddenly understood what Uncle Cuthbert had said, and the human spirit radiated from his brain to his tongue.

"Don't you think most of our food is boring right now?" Castor suddenly asked Yang Dongming.

"It's boring! A long time ago, the food became monotonous, delicious, but boring. Yang Dongming said as he fiddled with the food on the plate.

"Hahaha, you're right! You know a lot about history, when did human food start to be like this?" asked Castor.

"I don't know, but it probably started when humans flew out of the earth, when humans needed something convenient and easy to preserve for a long time, so the food became monotonous, and the seasoning became monotonous. This culture became a cosmic culture, and later life became better, and people blindly filled their mouths with the human taste when cooking. Rather than making a rich, layered taste experience. Alas, the food on the earth is not like this!" Yang Dongming sighed, he looked at the food on the plate, and suddenly lost his appetite.

"What kind of food does the earth have?" asked Castor curiously.

"Well, it's delicious, the food of the earth is very natural, very natural and delicious, I used to go back to my hometown with my family when I was a child, and I ate some of the food of the earth at that time. The taste of the fish I still remember, the original taste of the fish itself was delicious enough, not to mention that the fish was tender and juicy, with a little salt and soy sauce, ah, this is the taste that makes me intoxicated when I think about it. There is also a slippery dish that tastes really peculiar. These are the tastes and experiences that I will never forget for the rest of my life, and they are the nostalgia that I can't get rid of. Yang Dongming said as he recalled the food of his hometown.

"Where are you on Earth, where did your ancestors live?" asked Casto.

"In the eastern part of the northern hemisphere of the earth, in terms of time zone division, a large country in the eastern eight regions. My ancestors lived in the south of this country. I think our group has a tradition of perpetuating history. Yang Dongming said.

Kastow asked, somewhat incomprehensibly, "Continuing the traditions of history?"

"Yes, I think we Orientals often live in the past, thinking that the past is more important than the present, even more important than the future. It is extremely important to record history and pass on the experience of our ancestors. Even restoring the glory of our ancestors in our culture is one of the greatest goals of real life. Yang Dongming said.

"Restore the glory of our ancestors? How can the past be as good as the present? Blindly wanting to go back to the past is not in reverse of the law of human development? "What's so good about this?" said Casto with a smile.

This is good, because it connects the past and the present, shaping the entire community into an unbreakable community, based on ancestor worship that perpetuates the pulse of culture for millennia. In this way, this culture has been able to preserve its essence, its core content, and it will not fade for thousands of years. Yang Dongming said excitedly, as if he had become one with thousands of years of culture.

Subsequently, Yang Dongming regained his composure and turned to criticize the culture of his own ethnic group: "Of course, this kind of thinking is not completely without harm, and one of the great disadvantages it brings to us is that it makes us carry a heavy cultural burden. Thousands of years of culture make everyone awe-inspired, but it also makes everyone shoulder a heavy mission. Once I think of anything, I will think of this great goal and the glory of our ancestors. When you see your mediocre self, you will feel sad, and then deny yourself and suppress yourself. In the long run, people will become depressed, miserable, inferior and cowardly. "

"It's really confusing! Great culture has become a burden that ordinary people can hardly carry. Indeed, if people have to carry such a mission in life, it is too depressing and painful for ordinary people!" Casto said.

Yang Dongming nodded and said: "That's true, but isn't this great cultural river the proof of why people are human? This is the source and driving force for human civilization to flourish! If I were to take on the mission of continuing this culture, I would not have any complaints, even if it was so heavy." "

Casto was amazed by Yang Dongming's admirable sense of mission, he said: "It's really amazing, but I believe that your sense of mission is not entirely out of your obsession, but more out of the charm of this culture, and it is its broadness, magnificence and nobility that impress you, and you are happy to be its communicator." "

Yang Dongming nodded and said: "That's right! And to be the inheritor of this culture, you must also have abundant emotions, strong will, and independent spirit." Only in this way can we catch such a culture and carry thousands of years of history. "

"It's amazing, you're a conscious person. I think you really have inherited the spirit of your ancestors. My cousin, Lin Mingtong, was recently studying for a PhD in history, and I went back to her to learn more about our ancestors. I'm sure there's a lot to be gained as well!" says Casto.

"Ah! Your cousin Lin Mingtong! That is really an intellectual woman with an elegant temperament and a beautiful and generous temperament! She is really a woman as quiet as water! Her eyes are small but clear and bright, and her nose is not high but she is pretty. The delicate melon seed face is like white jade, no! that is clearly the ancient white jade!" Yang Dongming's cousin began to praise with his eyebrows fluttering as he spoke.

Casto cupped his forehead and said, "You can do it! Say no more, I think it's a miracle that my cousin hasn't beaten you." "

"Why did she beat me!?Why did such an elegant and elegant woman beat me!?This is impossible! Although she rejected me many times, she has always been friendly to me! Ah! This is the most valuable thing about her!" Yang Dongming sighed.

"Okay, okay, then you can send her more messages and chat in the future to see if there is any drama. Casto said impatiently.

"Hey, how did your attitude change? You've punched me before because of this. Yang Dongming asked suspiciously. He noticed that Casto had changed in many places since his return.
