In the afterglow of the Giant in the Chinese literary world, Mister Zhong had written such a poem: "The sky here is very Greek". Until Greece can never understand the cold of this poem, the sky here is very blue, the sun is like a lover in love, not willing to leave the left and right for a moment.
But for some reason, under this kind of weather, Lin Bai felt that the atmosphere in his surroundings was a little strange. To be more precise, it should be too quiet. There was none of the hustle and bustle of an international metropolis, and time seemed to stand still.
"Something's wrong. Did we come at the wrong time? Why is it so quiet here? It's so scary!" Lin Bai turned his head to look at Shang Zhuocai as he asked softly with a frown.
Shang Zhuocai's face had an embarrassed smile on it, he shook his head: "It's not that we came at the wrong time, but it's just that it's noon now, Greece and the others are all taking a nap!"
A nap?! Lin Bai was a little stunned, this was the first time he saw people from a city taking a nap in unison. Domestic life was very stressful and the crowds on the streets were hurrying; even in Rome and Frankfurt, the people on the streets were in a hurry and had never heard of taking a nap together like this.
"To be honest, they aren't exactly lazy. We should use the phrase 'the leisure' of our country to describe their lives!" Shen Xiaoyi chuckled: "But this kind of lifestyle is considered lazy in other people's eyes, thus the Greeks' laziness index is well-known throughout the world!"
Greece is an agricultural country and not exactly rich. However, this land was extremely fertile, so the people here could live a very leisurely and relaxed life. Their daily nap time was about three hours. Even the most punctual banks in other countries would open at nine or ten in the morning and close at two in the afternoon.
When the Greeks had slept enough in the afternoon, they tossed and turned for a while, and at around seven o'clock in the evening they began to eat dinner. The Greeks ate a bit like a French dinner, which lasted four hours, from salad, to the head plate, to the main course, to soup and sweets. How it lasted for so long had to do with the character of the Greeks.
The Greeks were particularly fond of talking, and the Latin culture was particularly rich in conversation. The Greeks had only one thing at the table, and that was to talk. The Greeks were willing to talk, but the Western Europeans could not understand.
Neither the Germans nor the British can talk. About philosophy, about politics. If you are a man who knows nothing of history, you will not be welcome in Greece.
"I used to know a Greek who was a bit more industrious, but even the most industrious of them would have to nap half an hour at noon every day!" Shang Zhuocai shook his head and sighed: "This should have already become a national habit, and no one can change it!"
When Shen Xiaoyi heard this, he covered his mouth and laughed secretly. But Lin Bai's face was solemn, his eyebrows knitted nonstop in an attempt to scan the surroundings. Shang Zhuocai felt that it was a little strange, and asked softly: "Master, what's wrong?"
"Laziness has always been a common thing, but do you think it's normal for people in a country to be this lazy?" Lin Bai replied, "And think about it, this ancient Greece is one of the birthplaces of the ancient civilization. If the people here are really as lazy as you said, how could there be so many ancient buildings and inventions left behind!"
"This place is surrounded by mountains on three sides and is adjacent to the sea. I just observed based on the Qi Observing Technique and found out that this place is a dried vein under the Ancestral Dragon of the Alps. These hills in the city are the result of the accumulation of Earth Qi. "How could the residents of such a good feng shui be so lazy?!" Lin Bai said in a deep voice as he furrowed his brows.
After hearing what Lin Bai had said, Shang Zhuocai became somewhat mute. What Lin Bai said was indeed correct. Ancient Greece was incomparably prosperous, and was also the birthplace of philosophy, producing civilizations that could influence the world one after another. Now that the Chinese dragon had awoken, even the Ganges River Valley's Ah San was working hard to develop it. Why is Greece alone on the brink of bankruptcy?!
He had heard that the Greek side was lazy and had never bothered to dig deeper than a joke. Nine years later, Greece fell into a financial crisis. According to common sense, under such living conditions, the citizens should have been under a lot of pressure and should have worked even harder. How could they still be as lazy as they were in the past?
In Greece, wind and water surrounded three sides of the mountains and one side of the sea. The mountains were like water while the water was beautiful. Such a place could be said to be the best place for wind and water. If used properly, it could definitely achieve long-term undefeatable results. But now the mountains were fierce and the flow of the water was dangerous. It had become a scene of great brutality for the White Tiger Mirror. The Aegean Sea was in the Yin position of the Athens, it was like a tiger.
Lin Bai frowned as he stared at the mountains and rivers around him. He muttered to himself incessantly as he racked his brains, hoping to find out the reason for the situation in the Athens.
If it was only because of the relationship between mountains and rivers, things would not be like this. No matter if it was a place or a person, once they lost their luck, then everything would go wrong. There were many problems, and there were also many dangers everywhere.
"Three mountains encircle, turn into the shape of a dragon, a water on the face, as support! "No matter how you look at it, this is an incomparably perfect feng shui project. How could there be a situation where a country's people are so tired and lazy!" Lin Bai's brows tightly knitted, as he stared at the dazzling blue sky of the Athens. He frowned and muttered to himself, "The transformation of mountains and rivers, the reversal of yin and yang, could it be that this place is also a part of the Inverted Five Elements Great Array?"
Shang Zhuocai and the others who were listening were confused, but they still stared at Lin Bai, wanting to see what kind of conclusion he would come to.
"That's not right, the Yuan Qi in the world did not flip over like in the ancient Roman colosseum. It was just that the luck had flipped. Could it be that there is something else hidden in this place?" Lin Bai frowned as he tried to guess what it was, but no matter how he tried, he just felt that it was weird.
Seeing Lin Bai muttering to himself nonstop, although Shen Xiaoyi felt it was funny, but he still said softly: "Since we can't see what's going on, then let's walk around here and see what kind of place we can find out just by staying here!"
Lin Bai laughed involuntarily. He was indeed mistaken, since this road did not lead him to a shortcut, why bother struggling within the bull's eye. He then nodded his head and saw that the sky was gradually darkening. He did not know if a storm might come later.
"Let's find a place to rest for the day and come out tomorrow to see what's going on here!" Lin Bai said to Shen Xiaoyi after frowning for a moment.
Shen Xiaoyi smiled sweetly and nodded: "I'll listen to you!"
Honestly speaking, Shen Xiaoyi had been feeling quite a bit scared following Lin Bai during this period of time. Furthermore, Lin Bai was extremely obsessed with phase arts, so whenever he got to a place, he would subconsciously observe the local Feng Shui movements. Fortunately, Shen Xiaoyi was already used to it and knew how to amuse himself as he treated it as tourism.
Shang Zhuocai led the way, Lin Bai and the rest finally woke up from their sleep at the entrance of a small inn, and under the sleepy eyes of the boss, they walked in majestically.
It was said that the origin of the name of Athens was related to Ya Dianna. When the Athens was first built by a Phoenician, Poseidon and Ya Dianna competed for the glory of naming it. Finally, an agreement was reached; the man who could provide mankind with the most useful things would become the patron saint of the city.
Poseidon used his trident to strike the ground and conjure a warhorse. On the other hand, Ya Dianna created an olive tree — — a symbol of peace and prosperity. As war horses were considered to represent war and sorrow, the Athens was named after the goddess of war, and the goddess soon incorporated the city into her protection.
Ancient Athens was a powerful city, it was a famous ancient city in the world. Greece is the birthplace of philosophy, the place where Plato College and Aristotle teach.
Socrates, Herodotus, Pericles, Sophocles, Aristophanes, and other famous philosophers, statesmen, and scholars were all born and lived in the Athens, which was also known as the "cradle of Western civilization" and the birthplace of democracy. Cultural and political achievements in the fifth and fourth centuries BC have had a significant impact on European and world culture.
However, such a once great city was now devoid of the glory of the past. The inhabitants of the city were now completely exhausted. Staring out of the window at the dark of the night, Lin Bai had a feeling that Athens City was not as simple as it seemed to be.
"It's already so late and you still don't plan to sleep? Could it be that the night sky of Athens is better looking than mine?" Just as Lin Bai was muttering to himself, Shen Xiaoyi's sweet voice came from behind.
Looking at Shen Xiaoyi's charming face, a smile appeared on Lin Bai's face. Walking to Shen Xiaoyi, he extended a hand to hold his face, and after gently kissing it, he said: "No matter how beautiful Athens is, you're not as beautiful as you are!"
"Then why do you always look out the window and ignore me?" Shen Xiaoyi's face flushed red, as she asked Lin Bai shyly.
Lin Bai chuckled, a sinister light flickering in his eyes as he said softly: "Xiao Yi, did I tell you before that I have a unique skill that specializes in looking at people's entire bodies? Do you want me to look after them for you?!"
"Full body?" Shen Xiaoyi was stunned, her small brain would never have thought that there would be such a thing in this world, but looking at Lin Bai's mischievous eyes, she immediately understood what he was thinking. In an instant, even the root of her ears had turned red, and she lightly patted Lin Bai's shoulders, "You bad guy, come and embarrass me with a glib tongue!"
"Come on beauty, let me take a look at your whole body!" Lin Bai let out a weird cry, and pounced towards Shen Xiaoyi.
After a few short giggles, the bedroom began to glow with spring colors. It was a beautiful scene to behold!
