Rebel Demon King

Chapter 741 Fairy Tale Master Philosopher and Love
The sky in Copenhagen at [-]:[-] is still gloomy. After entering the city, the number of old buildings gradually increases. The mottled wall bricks are either gray or red, and the roofs are mostly covered with red tiles. In the hazy weather, a classical dream is built. The trees growing among the houses have already shaken all their leaves, leaving only a cold branch, which looks lonely and desolate.

Xie Minyun followed the navigation and slowly drove on the streets of Copenhagen. This ancient city is full of castles, sculptures and stone monuments can be seen everywhere, and you can see the cultural relic-like buildings with your eyes. It seems to be the fairy tale kingdom described by Andersen. The breath permeates the city, the bronze statue of the mermaid by the silent harbor is covered with verdigris, and the handsome prince has already become a dry bone.The dim morning light cannot warm the old streets, and there are few pedestrians on both sides of the road. They are wrapped in coats and woolen hats and rushing in the cold wind, passing one after another colorful brick and stone attics.

Cheng Mo quietly watched the history flow in front of his eyes through the window, and felt a kind of grand tranquility rarely.

Bai Xiuxiu, who was sitting in the front row, changed from yesterday's bitterness, and sat gracefully in the co-pilot with her eyes closed, resting her mind until Xie Minyun drove for more than half an hour and asked Cheng Mo, "How long will it take to arrive?" She opened her eyes. Eye.

Generally speaking, no matter where or where Bai Xiuxiu is, someone else will take the initiative to talk to her. However, today Cheng Mo and Xie Minyun didn't talk to her, but they didn't neglect her. Xie Minyun drove with all his heart. In the street scene, the two of them did not chat, which made Bai Xiuxiu a little embarrassed to be caught in the harmonious silence of the two.

If it was changed to the past or there were two other people sitting in the car, Bai Xiuxiu would definitely be able to get along with herself calmly. However, in the past two days, her temper has not been as peaceful as usual, especially when facing Cheng Mo. More mean.

Of course, Bai Xiuxiu's harshness is actually very restrained, but it is slightly inconsistent with her own speech and behavior that has always been light-hearted.

At this moment, Bai Xiuxiu was sitting in her seat, trying her best to suppress her urge to speak. She had been asleep for more than half an hour just now and couldn't bear it anymore, so she found a chance to pretend to wake up. Hearing Cheng Mo said that it would take another half an hour Bai Xiuxiu frowned lightly, looked at Cheng Mo in the rearview mirror and said in an elder tone: "Why do you have to visit the cemetery if you have nothing to do? This is not a good sign for us Chinese people."

"Don't we Chinese people have a saying that do as Romans do? After all, in Europe, cemeteries are adjacent to blocks, and many are even in the city center, and in Europe, it is just the opposite of China. Houses built next to cemeteries are often sold at a high price, because in the West People think it brings good luck," Cheng Mo said.

"I don't think it is necessary to waste a few hours visiting the cemetery for such a reason." Bai Xiuxiu said as calmly as possible, so that her tone was not as high as yesterday.

"Of course not. I want to go to Atherston Cemetery mainly because I want to pay homage to someone." Cheng Mo said.

"Who are you going to see? Andersen?" Bai Xiuxiu didn't have any objections to Cheng Mo's desire to visit the cemetery, but just wanted to stir up a topic to break the silence, so she asked with great interest.

Cheng Mo didn't deny it immediately, but said: "Speaking of which, Andersen is also an interesting character. He and the fate of the character I want to pay homage to have the same tragic color, but on the contrary, it really confirms the saying that 'happy people are happy. Similarly, unfortunate people have their own misfortunes'."

As a road idiot, Xie Minyun was afraid of missing the intersection, and had been staring at the road ahead seriously, but at this moment he couldn't help but interjected, "Do you want to pay homage to Kierkegaard?"

Cheng Mo said with a "huh" and said: "Andersen and Kierkegaard are the pioneers of the greatest Danish culture in the nineteenth century. One is a master of literature and the other is a master of philosophy. One is to the left, for children and adults. Write the fairy tales of darkness and eternity, one to the right, created existentialism, raised love to the height of religion with the whole life”

Of course Andersen Bai Xiuxiu knew that although she only read the illustrations of "Andersen's Fairy Tales" when she was a child, it did not prevent her from knowing that Andersen actually wrote a large number of novels, travel notes, poems, and plays, and his attainments were very high. It's just a pity that most people only remember the fairy tales he wrote.

I remember "The Ugly Duckling", I remember "The Princess and the Pea", I remember "The Daughter of the Sea", I remember "Thumbelina", I remember "The Little Match Girl", and of course I also remember the most famous emperor in the history of literature - the stupid emperor who doesn't wear clothes.

But few people can understand the broad, cold, desperate consciousness of survival in Andersen's fairy tales.

Bai Xiuxiu doesn't like Andersen's fairy tales because Andersen's fairy tales are not fairy tales at all.As for Kierkegaard, Bai Xiuxiu is not even familiar with the name. Hearing that Xie Minyun directly named the person Cheng Mo wanted to pay homage to, this tacit understanding made Bai Xiuxiu not want to talk anymore, even if Cheng Mo threw a She was very curious about the stalk - "Kierkegaard used his whole life to raise love to the height of religion", Bai Xiuxiu just looked at the street view outside the windshield and kept silent.

No one continued to speak in silence, so the Grand Cherokee fell into a subtle silence again until Xie Minyun drove the car to the parking lot of the Atherston National Cemetery.

After turning off the fire, Bai Xiuxiu said lazily: "If you want to visit, the two of you can just go. My 'sun' should be far away from you two, so don't get in the way."

Cheng Mo, who was about to get off the car, stopped opening the door, looked back at Bai Xiuxiu and said, "Chairman Bai, since you're here, go and have a look! It won't take much time."

Bai Xiuxiu crossed her arms and said calmly, "I don't believe in fairy tales, nor do I like philosophy, so forget it."

Cheng Mo persuaded with a sincere expression: "But the lives of Andersen and Kierkegaard are really interesting, and it's good to learn about them by listening to the stories!"

Bai Xiuxiu was about to refuse again, when Xie Minyun turned off the ignition directly, then took out the key and turned to Bai Xiuxiu and said: "Instructor Bai, sitting in the car alone will be boring, why don't we go for a walk together and listen to it?" Mo wants to tell you some kind of story with Amway."

Obviously Xie Minyun knew what Cheng Mo wanted to say, but Xie Minyun's face still had expectations written on it, which inflated Bai Xiuxiu's curiosity that had been pressed just now. When he was hesitating, Xie Minyun whispered again: "During the menstruation, I was in the park. Going for a walk here will brighten your mood."

Bai Xiuxiu didn't expect that Xie Minyun could see this, so she stopped talking, smiled, picked up the scarf on the co-pilot's decorative panel, wrapped it up, picked up her coat, opened the door and got out of the car.

Xie Minyun got out of the car and locked the car door, and the three of them walked towards the cemetery. European and American cemeteries are completely different from Chinese cemeteries. Chinese cemeteries pay attention to Feng Shui and specifications, while European and American funeral customs come from Christianity. There is no difference in the park, and even the ashes of many celebrities are stored directly in the church. The famous ones such as Westminster Abbey, or the main church in the city center in a small place, even the floor is paved with sarcophagi. It is a BUG for people, but if you want not to step on the territory of the dead, there is no way to visit the church.

Not only is the floor not taboo, but the sarcophagi of sages are often stored in the church. It can be said that there are no remains of one or two historical celebrities in the church, and it cannot be called a famous cathedral at all.

As for the cemetery, it is a must-see for tourists. For example, the three famous cemeteries in Paris: Lachaise Cemetery, Montmartre Cemetery and Montparnasse Cemetery are not only picturesque, but also stand countless exquisite cemeteries. Sculptures, and buried the tortuous and bizarre lives of countless celebrities.Visiting these cemeteries is not actually for offering sacrifices, but for experiencing the open-air museum, because the history of Europe is deposited here.

Atherston Cemetery is far less famous than the three major cemeteries in Paris, but the environment is actually more beautiful. The main road is spread out under a neatly trimmed poplar tree. Added countless solemnity and solemnity.

Cheng Mo bought two bouquets of flowers and a postcard at the entrance to the park, took a free park map, and walked inside with Bai Xiuxiu and Xie Minyun. The cemeteries of Andersen and Kierkegaard are both in the North Bridge District. The three of them walked straight along the main road, surrounded by open-air tombstones, and the grass on both sides was filled with cherry blossom trees and other green plants. The green pines and cypresses, the golden cherubs standing next to the tombstones, the wind lamps, dolls, candlesticks, and notebooks hanging on the branches with withered green leaves, make people feel warm in the cold weather.

There are few tourists in winter, and the three of them walked in the cemetery and felt a kind of tranquility.After walking for a while, Cheng Mo said, "Chairman Bai, would you like to listen to me tell the story of Andersen?"

Of course, Bai Xiuxiu has realized that Cheng Mo's coming to Atherston Cemetery is a cover. Cheng Mo's purpose should be to appease her dissatisfaction. .”

Cheng Mo groaned and said slowly: "Andersen was born in a poor family in Odense. He was the only son in the family. His father was a shoemaker and his mother was a laundry worker. Although life was difficult, Andersen's father pinned all his hopes on his only son. .When Andersen was a child, his father said to him: "My life is hard. I didn't get the opportunity to study. You must have ambition and strive to learn some culture so that you can become a knowledgeable person." Therefore, Andersen's father In the poor living environment, he did not forget the enlightenment education for his son. Not only did he spend money to decorate a home full of artistic atmosphere, hang many pictures and decorations on the walls, and put many toys on the frame, but also often for him. He recited plays by the famous Danish comedy writer Luvi Holbert and recited chapters from Shakespeare's plays."

Cheng Mo's plain narrative echoed in the quiet cemetery. Combined with this situation, Xie Minyun and Bai Xiuxiu seemed to be walking in the scene of a documentary, listening to the third-person narration.Cheng Mo's voice doesn't have much emotion, but it vividly depicts Andersen's growth trajectory.

After talking about Andersen's growth, Xie Minyun pulled Cheng Mo, who was originally walking on the far right, into the middle, and sandwiched him between himself and Bai Xiuxiu. Cheng Mo sniffed the quiet fragrance of grass and trees, looked at the vast sky, and then Said Andersen's love story.

Most people commented on Andersen saying that he devoted his whole life to fairy tales, but this is not the case in fact. Andersen was a person who yearned for love but could not ask for it. He remained unmarried all his life not because he did not want to get married, but because there was no one to marry.

The story about Andersen’s first love is exactly the same as today’s eight o’clock romantic dramas. When he was young, Andersen fell in love with the most beautiful girl in the town, Li Boer. , So Li Boer chose to marry someone else.

Then Andersen met a famous lady named Liborg Vogt, and the two had an ambiguous time, but after several weighings, the famous lady finally gave up Andersen.

This made Andersen depressed for a long time. He once thought that he was poor and ugly and dared not find a partner. Until 1843, he met the "Swedish Nightingale" Linde. Andersen fell madly in love with this popular female singer, and Linde was also very enthusiastic. The well-known writer was received in a friendly manner, and the talented and beautiful women talked happily, but this was not a comedy.

On Christmas night, Linde found Andersen, helped him light the Christmas tree, and said to Andersen: "I hope to have a brother here, in Copenhagen. Would you like to be my brother?".

Andersen looked confused: "????"

"Then it's settled, we'll be good brothers from now on!" Linde patted Andersen on the shoulder and said.

In this way Andersen became Linde's best brother.

Cheng Mo sighed and said: "There is no doubt that this is the earliest good person card + brother card in history."

As a sneer maker, Cheng Mo is not good at telling sneering jokes, but telling stories is not bad. After telling the story of Andersen and Linde becoming good brothers, Bai Xiuxiu couldn't help covering her mouth and chuckling in the solemn cemetery. Don't let yourself be too gaffe, forcefully suppressed a smile and shrugged his shoulders.

Xie Minyun also curled the corners of his mouth. At this time, the three of them had already passed countless tombstones, past countless dark green pines and cypresses, and followed the signs to Hans Christian Andersen's tombstone.The dark gray tombstone is hidden among the bushes. On the top of the tombstone is engraved in Danish: "Poet, Hans Christian Andersen" and the date of Andersen's birth and death. On the bottom is engraved Andersen's 1830 poem " The last chapter of Oldingen. (Note 1)

Cheng Mo bent down and placed a bouquet of white roses in his arms in front of the tombstone. He straightened up, turned his head to look at Xie Minyun and said in a low voice, "Andersen's last love affair was with his patron's daughter, Louise Colin." Although Louise also had a deep love for him and was waiting for him to propose marriage, the family gap was insurmountable. Louise Colin's brother always called Andersen a humble 'upper class intruder'. Until Andersen didn't get any love when he died, he was depressed and lonely all his life."

Cheng whispers like mourning, and the dewdrops hanging on the pine needles beside the tombstone are like teardrops on eyelashes.

Bai Xiuxiu also suppressed her smile and Xie Minyun both bowed to the tombstone, and the three of them turned around and continued towards Kierkegaard's cemetery without stopping any longer. Signage is much less.

Bai Xiuxiu, who knows how to listen to the story and hear the fun, also forgot the queen's reserve, and turned to ask Cheng Mo: "The fate of this Kierkegaard can be worse than that of Andersen?"

Cheng Mo thought for a while and said, "How should I put it? Although Kierkegaard's fate is unfortunate, it is completely different from the worldly misfortune of Andersen."

"Mundane misfortune? Is there still noble misfortune?" Cheng Mo's description confused Bai Xiuxiu, and made Bai Xiuxiu more curious, what kind of life story could make Cheng Mo go to the cemetery to tell her .

"It's not appropriate to describe it as elegant. I think it should be regarded as a misfortune that is detached from the world." Xie Minyun said in a low voice, but she immediately turned her head to look at Cheng Mo and said, "Don't bother Mr. to tell the story, although I know Something about it, but still curious how you would describe it."

Cheng Mo nodded, and said softly with the sound of footsteps: "Kerkegaard is six years younger than Andersen. This Danish philosopher in the [-]th century is not as famous as Andersen, but he is one of the contemporary recognized existentialism or existential philosophy. Father, the father of Christian neo-orthodoxy, the master of post-psychoanalysis, also known as the master of the Trinity. And his life situation can be said to be just the opposite of Andersen."

"Kierkegaard was born in a wealthy family, and even the royal family were guests of their family. In 1796, Kierkegaard's father lost his wife in middle age, so he married a distant relative. In the following 16 years, Kierkegaard Goer's father gave birth to six children, the last of which was Soren Kierkegaard. Kierkegaard's father was very serious, unsmiling, God-fearing, and he ran the family in the old-fashioned way of patriarchy, raising children from childhood. Strict religious education taught them to fear God, and instilled in them the idea that human beings are inherently sinful, and the mercy of Jesus lies in bearing the sins for people and being crucified to atone for human sins. Therefore, Kierkegaard lived In a serious religious atmosphere. I don’t know whether it was a trick of fate or a malicious joke of God, but Kierkegaard’s pious father cheated on his maid, and died of five children, and only two survived in the end. Soren Kierkegaard was also lucky to survive. At the age of 17, he entered the theology department of the University of Copenhagen to study, and it seemed that his future was to become an inviolable pastor. However, at this time Kierkegaard met to the love of his life, Regina"

"Unlike Andersen, who is ugly and poor, Kierkegaard is serious, rich and handsome. The two met for the first time at a Rodam family gathering. At that time, Regina was only 15 years old, and the difference between the two was 9 years old. But it can almost be said to be love at first sight, Kierkegaard soon began to pursue Regina, his talent (handsome) and wisdom (rich), opened the girl's heart, one day he suddenly proposed to Regina, Regina agreed with tears on the spot, which caused a sensation in Copenhagen, all the nobles and ordinary people paid attention to this matter, and the two wealthy families also complied with the expectations of the couple and the public, and began to plan their wedding."

"When we first got engaged, Kierkegaard would often visit Regina, take her for a walk, and teach her how to ride a horse. At this time, Regina was completely immersed in the picture of future happiness. However, the good times did not last long, and soon overcame Kierkegaard reduced the number of meetings on the grounds that he was busy with writing, and Regina also gradually felt that he intended to escape. During this period, they had a lot of correspondence, and every Wednesday Regina would receive Kierkegaard’s vague words. The sweet love turned into a game of abandonment and dodging. Until one day Regina received a letter from Kierkegaard annulling the engagement, which contained an engagement ring and a withered rose."

"What an incredible blow this was to the girl Regina. She rushed to Kierkegaard's residence, but Kierkegaard had disappeared. She left a sincere letter praying for her fiancé Kerkegaard. Kegaard didn't want to leave, but Kierkegaard completely avoided him. At Regina's insistence, he was finally found by Regina who was about to go crazy, so Kierkegaard told Regina that he would Get married in 10 years but not now."

"The families of Kierkegaard and Regina are well-known in Copenhagen. The divorce incident became the talk of the streets and alleys. Kierkegaard's reckless escape and cruel seduction were reported by countless newspapers. He became a notorious figure, even Countless people slandered him as a homosexual or an epileptic. But Regina seemed more hurt. She had been ill for a long time and even attempted suicide in order to save her marriage. In Denmark in the 19th century, a woman's honor and reputation It is inseparable from marriage, for Regina, this is not only the pain of love, but also the shame of being abandoned by an unmarried girl, and she cannot understand any reason given by Kierkegaard.” Speaking of this, Cheng Mo and Xie Minyun sighed in a low voice at the same time.

Bai Xiuxiu tilted her head, and said noncommittally: "It seems that this is a love story between an ordinary scumbag and an innocent girl. I really can't figure out why Kierkegaard deserves the title of 'misfortune beyond the world' Could it be that he knew that he was terminally ill, so in order not to make his lover sad, he would rather bear the infamy and sever ties with her? If so...that's really...too Korean drama!"

Cheng Mo looked at the end of the trail, and Kierkegaard's bluestone tombstone stood low-key on the side of the road. According to Chinese Feng Shui, his tombstone was far worse than Andersen's in terms of size and Feng Shui.Cheng Mo pointed to Kierkegaard's tombstone and said: "On both sides of Kierkegaard's tomb are the cemetery of Regina and the cemetery of Regina's husband Schlegel. Regina finally understood in her later years He forgave Kierkegaard, forgave Kierkegaard, and buried himself next to Kierkegaard's cemetery after his death."

Following Cheng Mo's fingers, Bai Xiuxiu immediately saw three heavy-looking bluestone tombstones lined up on the roadbed on the side of the black iron railing. There were some green moss growing on them, which was far less bright than Andersen's tombstone.Bai Xiuxiu frowned and said in dissatisfaction: "It's not a good habit to break chapters."

Cheng Mo put down his hands and continued to walk towards Kierkegaard's tombstone. He continued: "Compared with Regina's endless pain, Kierkegaard's behavior is very bad. He pretended to be in front of everyone. As if nothing had happened, cheerful, wandering around the opera house all day long, showing the image of a playboy who is always chaotic and cynical. Regina, who knows everything, finally gave up on Kierkegaard completely, and her gentle and honest tutor Schlegel got married quickly, and the couple's wedding was held in the Church of the Savior in Copenhagen. They were very happy and read a sentence from Kierkegaard's book aloud in public. This behavior caused another sensation, and people clapped their hands. Cheer up, think that Regina's happiness is the most powerful counterattack to Kierkegaard's evil."

"At this time, people thought that Kierkegaard was a scumbag who was always in chaos. It was not until after Kierkegaard died many years later that people opened his diary that they realized that his heart was actually more serious than Regina's. In pain, he said in his diary that he cried all night in bed on the bed, the reason why he used this cruel appearance to treat Regina, just wanted her to come out of the pain as soon as possible. He repeatedly prayed to Regina in his diary for forgiveness , and pray that God will let Regina forget him. The reason why Kierkegaard did this is to place himself in painful thoughts. In Kierkegaard's point of view, the first layer of love It is desire, pursuing boring sensory satisfaction; the second level is morality, a kind of self-restraint, abiding by morality and norms, and being a perfect husband; the third level is the religious stage, raising love to belief and not being tempted by material things , not afraid of the pressure of public opinion, breaking away from the worldly network, indifferent to moral judgments, and only talking to God. His purpose in doing this is to sublimate his love for Regina into a love of faith."

"But this is not enough. After Regina got married, Kierkegaard went to Berlin to live in seclusion in order to avoid criticism from others and newspapers and to escape missing. He started writing "Either or That", this paragraph The time was called "the period of creation of existential aesthetics" by Walsh, and this great masterpiece also opened the "Golden Age of Denmark". During this era, Kierkegaard wrote "Interlude", "Direct X Love or Music X The Stages of Love" and "The Diary of a Seducer" can be regarded as a spiritual reconstruction of his relationship with Regina. In fact, every work of Kierkegaard is conveying to Regina The love in the heart, in "Either or That", he borrowed Ermita's words: "As a publisher, I just want to add a wish, may this book meet readers at a desirable time, may the kind and lovely The female reader will succeed in following the well-meaning advice of B (the character in the second part of "Either or That") successfully.' In "Fear and Thriller" he uses Harman's words: 'Tacquilius Supper What Bath said through the poppy in the garden, his son understood, but the messenger didn't understand at all.' Then he used the incident of Abraham's burnt sacrifice of Isaac to warn Regina that although he had left, he still loved him. In "The Stages of the Path of Life," he explains to Regina: "Please forget the man who wrote this letter, and forgive him, perhaps he can do many things, but he cannot make a woman happy."

"Although no one was willing to buy the book of a shameless man at the time, Kierkegaard was rich. He spent a lot of money to publish his book in volume. Although the sales volume was poor, he was reviled by his peers and newspapers."

The three of them stood side by side in front of Kierkegaard's mottled and heavy tombstone, Cheng Mo raised his voice slightly for the first time, the cold wind made his voice tremble, "When Kierkegaard was sick and refused treatment , refused to visit, and refused to take communion. When he was about to die, he wrote in his diary: 'Young girl, my true love, your name will go into history with me, and pain and lovesickness will consume me. Alas, this is an unusual religious conflict, I will return to myself'. The abandoned girl lived a happy life, while the abandoned man spent endless attacks and abuse All his life, during his lifetime, his tome was unread, and after his leap of faith, the pain of genius crystallized into a great achievement"

Cheng Mo didn't continue talking, but fell into deep thought while looking at Kierkegaard's tombstone, and the cold air also fell silent, except for the rustling of pines and cypresses blown by the cold wind, there was no sound between heaven and earth.

After a long time, Bai Xiuxiu said, "Didn't they all meet each other in the end?"

Cheng Mo shook his head, "After Regina got married, the two of them haven't seen each other. Regina left Copenhagen after six years of marriage, and didn't come back until 1860. At this time, Kierkegaard had been dead for five years. In it, he announced that he would leave all his property and original manuscripts to Regina. And history has justified the name of this genius. He created a genre and became a master looked up to by all living beings. He remained unmarried all his life and insisted on his love with Regina And now that Regina has been brought into history by Kierkegaard as he wished, Gough regards the love story between Kierkegaard and Regina as 'one of the greatest love stories in world literature', Reggie Na Yi and Kierkegaard reunited in countless works of art, until today people are still singing their stories, such as "Diary of a Seducer", "Kierkegaard", "Sauron Loves Reggie" "Na". Kierkegaard engraved their short-lived love on the eternal historical monument in a genius way."

Cheng Mo turned his head to look at Bai Xiuxiu, and asked softly: "Chairman Bai, do you think the love tragedy of the master of fairy tales is worthy of sympathy? Or the love tragedy of the master of philosophy is more shocking?"
