"I told you everything, this old man, his mother is sick."
In an octagonal pavilion in Qianlongyuan, Wang Doushan was talking vaguely with root grass in his mouth.
Su Chen sat on the bench in the pavilion, leaning back against the pavilion pillar, looking at the water scenery of the lake far away: "Maybe I didn't feel his pulse, there should always be something that can move him."
"I see, he doesn't want to accept disciples at all! Is there anything more difficult than him in this academy? Nothing! You said you are a good mentor, if you don’t accept disciples, what kind of mentor would you call his mother? You don’t want to be a mentor. Damn it, don't come to Qianlongyuan!"
"Yeah, I don't want to be a mentor, so why come to Qianlong Academy." Su Chen also murmured: "Since I'm here, then I must want to accept disciples... Maybe I just didn't meet his standards."
"You haven't reached his standard? If someone as good as you doesn't meet the standard, how high is his standard?" Wang Doushan asked disdainfully, "Does it have to be that ancient wizard who has been rare in tens of thousands of years? No?"
Hearing this, Su Chen couldn't help but remember: "What he is pursuing is a dream that countless intellectuals have been chasing for tens of thousands of years. With this as a standard, it is not an exaggeration to ask his disciples to be ancient and talented."
"You are still in the mood to laugh." Wang Doushan snorted.
He came to sit down opposite Su Chen, chewing the grass in his mouth more and more.
"I don't understand you either. If you don't look for so many excellent mentors in the courtyard, you have to look for such an old stubborn, old madman. What do you think of him?"
"Well, this..." Su Chen thought for a while and replied, "There are two reasons. One is because I serve him. I serve him not only because he can train me like a dog so far. But the person who made me obedient, also because he has a heart that embraces the world... A person who knows what he can't do is always admirable."
Wang Doushan nodded: "Okay, this counts as one. Although this is a bit silly, there is an old saying that the world is driven by fools. What about the second point?"
"The second point is that I want to follow in his footsteps and pursue the dream of the human race for thousands of years. Since there are so many instructors in Qianlong Academy who are fighting for this, who am I not looking for?"
Wang Doushan slapped his forehead: "Oh my God, you are really following crazy. Su Chen, haven't you understood it after such a long time?"
He looked at Su Chen and said every word: "You can't do it!"
"Impossible?" Su Chen looked back at Wang Doushan.
Wang Doushan nodded firmly: "For tens of thousands of years, how many intellectuals have chased this dream one after another, but no one can succeed. Oh, or it has been successful, blood is the best way to the peak of source energy. Why would you want to bypass it?"
"Because I have no blood." Su Chen replied, "There are many, many people who don't have blood."
Wang Doushan was stuck.
"It's also because the power of blood is not strong enough." Su Chen added: "The ultimate enemy of the wisdom race is the orcs, and it will only be them. But the power of blood comes from the orcs. How can you use the enemy? To defeat the enemy? Just talk about you, Wang Doushan, the owner of the Xuehe bloodline. Even if your bloodline awakens to its peak, at a level of 50%, can you compare to the real Xuehe emperor? No, you can't, you are destined to never exceed the limit of Snow Crane. The bloodline gives you strength, but it also limits your exhibition!"
Wang Doushan opened his mouth wide when he heard it, and wanted to refute, but he didn't know how to refute it.
This is a truth that everyone understands.
Perhaps with hard work, they can gain promotion, the more general the bloodline of the same level, but the inherent limitations in the bloodline doomed them to be unable to exceed the limit.
This is also the greatest helplessness of the human race-in terms of peak power, no wise race can overtake the orcs.
The original beast that can destroy an empire without mentioning it, the desolate beast alone makes it difficult for everyone to contend.
Su Chen was right. The bloodline gave the human race a powerful force, but it also restricted the human race's exhibition.
"Unfortunately, this is too difficult to do. It is just an impossible dream." Wang Doushan shook his head.
"Perhaps. But if it can't be achieved, then why does the old man still do this? Why are there so many people, one after the other, one after the other?"
"This..." Wang Doushan couldn't catch it for a while.
Su Chen gave him the answer: "Because there are always some people in this world who know they can't do it. For the sake of the human race, they have no complaints or regrets and are willing to go through water and fire."
Wang Doushan was dumbfounded.
For a long time, there was deep admiration in his eyes: "Listening to you, the old man is really an amazing person."
"Unfortunately, there are not many people who can understand him. People in this world pay too much attention to the potential of talent, but too few pay attention to character and temperament." Su Chen smiled.
After saying this, Su Chen was suddenly struck by lightning, and his whole body was stunned.
The image of the old man appeared in his mind, echoing the words he had said to himself.
"How many heroes have embarked on this road of no return for the rise of the human race..."
"To do big things, you must have the mind to do big things. Without the mind that embraces the sun and the moon and embraces the world, is it worthwhile to talk about the rise of the human race?"
"The word Rise of Human Race is not something that a rookie like you can squander at will. It is something that people spend their entire lives to achieve and pursue..."
This sound, sentence by sentence, reverberated in his heart, resounding like a twilight drum and morning bell, resounding in Su Chen's ears.
The shaking made him spin around, shaking his hands and feet.
"Hey, what's the matter with you?" Wang Doushan asked with a strange expression on his face.
Su Chen just looked into the distance blankly and muttered: "I'm so stupid. I should have thought of it. I would have thought that showing my talent can get his admiration, and he was included as a disciple. I was wrong. , I was very wrong. To be his disciple, what is needed is not strong talent, excellent potential, extraordinary mind, nor meticulous care..."
"It's about having a heart with the world in mind!"
Wang Doushan was startled when he heard: "Have the world's heart in mind?"
"Yes!" Su Chen nodded affirmatively: "The old man does have standards for accepting disciples, but this standard is not talent potential, but temperament perseverance! That perseverance is not how long you can deliver food and cook, but walk in A road that may never see the future, but still walks firmly until the end of life!"
Wang Doushan opened his mouth in surprise.
After a while, he asked, "What does it take to meet his standards?"
Su Chen shook his head: "I don't know."
Just when Wang Doushan was about to be disappointed, Su Chen smiled, "But it doesn't matter if I don't know. I don't know... You can ask him."
