Saint Seiya: This Gemini is a bit of a pit

"When?"

“Watch a movie!”

……

in the afternoon.

Practice continues.

Upon learning that Jia Long had awakened his microcosm and become a true fighter, Albio praised him in public.

This was the first time Jia Long had been praised since coming to the Holy Land. Before that he was just noted down in a small notebook.

After praising Jia Long for a few words, Arubio changed the subject.

"But don't be proud. Becoming a fighter is just the first step in your cultivation. We in the Holy Land lack everything except fighters."

"Only by becoming true Saints can you be considered the protectors of the earth, the successors of love and justice, and be qualified to hold high the great banner of the goddess Athena and fight for all mankind for your entire life!"

Arubio's position is high and his vision is big, but the young fighters don't like to hear such empty talk.

Except for one person.

Saga.

He is a typical idealist and a human supremacist. When he hears about protecting all mankind, he becomes more excited than anyone else and is so focused that he almost forgets his own existence.

"Saints are people who enforce justice, so what is justice? To correct others, one must first correct oneself, and one must also start by abiding by the doctrines of the Sanctuary. Next..."

Albio was accustomed to going off topic, and as soon as he mentioned the dogma, the walking dogma - Aiolos became excited, and soon entered a state of complete oblivion, just like Saga.

"Shouldn't we be talking about cultivation? Why are we talking about dogma again?"

Jia Long found it boring.

Logically speaking, the focus this afternoon should be him, and the theme of the lecture should be the cultivation of the microcosm.

But Arubi never plays by the rules.

In fact, Jia Long doesn’t care.

After obtaining the Oni mirror, Jia Long has a clear understanding of the cultivation after awakening the microcosm. With the treasure of Saga mirror, his future cultivation path is infinitely bright.

Moreover, in the holy land where powerful people are everywhere, he has no shortage of mirror materials.

I heard from Milo this morning that among the Silver Saints alone, there are famous strong ones such as the Two Shadows, Three Dogs, Four Holy Guardians, and Seven Miracles.

This was completely different from what Jia Long had imagined.

There is also a saying that there are ten celestial beasts among the Bronze Saints, and each of them is extremely powerful.

In the era when the Gold Saints did not appear, these bronze and silver saints have been guarding the earth for more than 200 years since the end of the last Holy War. Some of them have even fought against the real evil gods.

There is so much material.

As long as he keeps on brushing, Jia Long feels that his growth rate will definitely exceed that of normal people.

but……

Are there any normal people in the first echelon?

After taking a glance at Saga, Aiolos and other young fighters, Jia Long felt... it seemed not.

Not only are the students abnormal, but even the teachers are abnormal.

Teacher Albio, who is a Saint Seiya, has even gone so far as to marry a wife. This is unique in the entire Sanctuary.

I heard that he and Crane also had a lovely daughter named Jenny.

How do those single people in the sanctuary who have been single for more than 200 years feel about this?

"Milo!"

Just when Jia Long was distracted.

Albio on the boulder suddenly stopped his dogmatic bombardment and glanced like a knife at the distracted little fighters.

Milo was called out, not because he was distracted. In fact, everyone except Aiolos was distracted, and Shaka was even snoring.

The reason why Milo was targeted by Albio was because the way he was distracted was too special. He was actually holding a photo in his hand, staring at it with his eyes wide open, and his face was full of fantasy.

That would be fine, but the key point is that the photo he took was of...Grus!

Albio walked over with a gloomy look in his eyes and asked, "Milo, what are you looking at with the photo of the former Crane?"

"Hole!"

Milo said quietly, he seemed to be in a state of complete oblivion, totally unaware of Albio's arrival.

"Hole?"

In an instant, Albio's face turned green, glowing green, and his eyes looked terrifying and murderous.

The air around seemed to be frozen.

A nebula stream of terrifying intensity swirled up beneath Albio's feet, pulling the air around it like a storm, making crackling sounds and causing people to feel their skin being cut and painful.

"Nebula airflow from Andromeda? No, this intensity... could it be the legendary nebula storm?!"

Everyone was terrified, but Milo, the person involved, still looked focused and obsessed.

Completely ignored the threat of the nebula storm.

All I see are photos.

The young fighters were suddenly worried, fearing that Milo would be too suicidal and cause Albio to become furious and attack, and everyone would be implicated.

Especially Jia Long, who was currently brushing the Oni mirror image, he was very clear about the power of Nebula Storm.

The most powerful secret of Fairy Island!

A small cosmic storm that can tear apart a nebula!

In the previous comics, even the Golden Saints and Sea Generals suffered great losses from this horrific fighting skill!

Now Jia Long was standing next to Milo. He didn't want to be hit by a nebula storm with Milo. Seeing Milo opening his mouth as if to tell the truth, he quickly had an idea and spoke first:

"Teacher Albio, I think the hole that Milo mentioned should be the allegory of the cave. Well, he meant the allegory of the cave by the great philosopher Plato!"

"Plato's Allegory of the Cave?"

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 23: Enlightenment! Shaka closes his eyes

In mythology, the Titan Prometheus brought fire to mankind, and the goddess Athena brought wisdom to mankind, allowing humans to begin to think about the future and thus began a holy war against the gods.

Under the goddess's glory, a large number of outstanding sages emerged in the human race, such as the famous Socrates, Plato, Aristotle...

These sages are also the founders of the sanctuary and hold a high status in the hearts of the Saints.

So, even though Albio was furious and wanted to slap Milo to death, he had to temporarily suppress his anger when he heard the name of the sage Plato.

Nebula Storm subsided a little, glanced at Jia Long, and said coldly: "Galon, you mean that Milo was holding the photo of the Crane, but was thinking about Plato's Allegory of the Cave?"

"Yes."

Seeing that Arubio had a bad expression on his face and was ready to beat him up if they had a disagreement, Jia Long had no choice but to bite the bullet and start talking nonsense in a serious manner.

"Milo is my roommate, and I know him quite well. Although he looks dirty, he is a person who has escaped from vulgarity. Teacher, do you think he is thinking about dirty things when he looks like an enlightened person? Is he more like pursuing the truth?"

“So, the cave he mentioned is definitely a metaphor for the cave of the great sage!!”

Jia Long said firmly.

"is it?"

Albio naturally didn't believe it at all. Not only him, but none of the other young fighters who were watching believed it either.

However, looking at Milo's current state of obsession and selflessness, he does have some of the meaning of the enlightened person mentioned by Jia Long, and is very similar to the state of Saga and Aiolos just now.

"Is he really thinking about the parable of the cave?"

"What the hell is the cave metaphor?"

The young fighters have been practicing since childhood, and many of them have not even attended elementary school. Although they have heard of Plato's name, they have no idea what the Allegory of the Cave proposed by this sage is.

Fortunately, Jia Long, who was eager to divert attention, quickly told the story of the cave parable.

As a university monk in his previous life, Jia Long had some understanding of Plato's philosophical thoughts.

His thoughts on this world are similar.

The Allegory of the Cave is Plato's metaphor for the human state before the holy war.

The parable of the cave, also known as the metaphor of the cave, imagines a group of humans in an underground cave. They have been arranged by God to stay there since childhood. They are bound by chains and cannot turn their heads. They can only look at their shadows on the cave wall in front of them.

Behind and above them there was a fire, and a path ran across the cave, with a low wall built along the path, like a puppet-show screen.

There are some specific messengers of gods who carry various tools and walk through the path behind the wall. The firelight projects the tools that are visible through the wall onto the cave wall in front of humans. These tools are models made based on real objects in reality.

Humans naturally think that shadows are the only real things.

If one of the humans among them could break free of his chains, turn around and see the fire and the object, he would realize that what he had previously believed to be real was just an illusion.

This is the parable of the cave.

……

"What you see may not be true, it may be the exact opposite. For example, Milo, on the surface he is looking at you... ahem, the photo of Crane from the day before, he looks very dirty, but isn't the opposite of dirty noble? Maybe he is thinking about love and justice at this moment."

After telling the parable of the cave, Jia Long began to try to whitewash himself, but he himself did not believe what he said.

But some people believed it.

"All appearances are false, all phenomena are like dreams, illusions, bubbles, and shadows, like dew and lightning. You should view them in this way..."

Shaka clasped his hands together, a solemn look appeared on his face, and he slowly closed his eyes.

In an instant, light circulated around Shaka, as if countless stars gathered in his body, gradually forming the prototype of a brilliant universe.

"Little universe?!"

"Shaka has an epiphany!!"

The little fighters were stunned.

Even Albio was extremely surprised: "Just by closing his eye consciousness, he awakened his consciousness and found a new way. He didn't need to forget the five senses through the trial of life and death. This Shaka... is worthy of being called the reincarnation of Buddha!"

"With his special situation, if he can keep his eye consciousness closed for a long time, he will accumulate a strong sixth sense!"

Albio was surprised and the little fighters were shocked.

Even Jia Long, who accidentally awakened Shaka, was dumbfounded. Damn, it was so easy to understand?! I just got the sixth sense this morning, and after going through countless life and death situations, I only got ahead by half a day?

Jia Long felt a sense of urgency in his heart.

"Hey, I wanted to practice easily, but I couldn't stand the weirdo chasing me!"

Just as Jia Long was sighing.

Saga on the side pulled his sleeve and asked curiously: "Galon, in this story you told, did the protagonist break free from the chains by himself, or did he break free under the guidance of the goddess Athena?"

Jia Long was stunned and said casually: "Of course I broke free by myself. Athena had not yet come to the world at that time."

Unexpectedly, when he casually said this, Saga actually showed an expression of enlightenment: "Sure enough, the gods are not the only hope for mankind, I understand!"

A fierce fighting spirit burned in Saga's body.

Although Saga did not have the same sudden enlightenment as Shaka, Jia Long could clearly feel that after Saga's sudden enlightenment, the fighting spirit in his body seemed to be able to break out of its cocoon and condense into consciousness at any time.

Another guy who doesn't follow the beaten path!

What was even more unacceptable to Jia Long was that not only Shaka and Saga, but the other little fighters also showed signs of enlightenment after listening to the story of Dongyu.

This made Jia Long fall into deep self-doubt: "Am I the one with the lowest level of understanding? Can I only awaken my microcosm through continuous life and death trials?"

But Jia Long soon felt relieved.

Everyone has his own way, and the way to awaken the small universe is not important. After all, didn’t Xiaoqiang, who was as powerful as the star in his previous life, awaken through continuous beatings just like him?

What's more, he didn't really get beaten. His way was the most unique way of brushing!

Just when Jia Long regained his confidence.

"Oh, so cool~"
