The monk who mixed in the American comic

"It can be Tao, but it is not Tao; it can be named, but it is not named. Nameless, the beginning of heaven and earth, there is name, the mother of all things. Therefore, there is always no desire to observe its wonders, and there is always desire to observe its pleasures."

Don't get me wrong about this person who is reading the Tao Te Ching. He is not Xu Yuan, nor Killer Croc, nor anyone else in the Taoist temple, but our playboy Tony Stark.

Now Tony Stark is a Taoist believer. Although he still spends a lot of time and alcohol, he spends an hour or two every day reading Taoist classics.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t look at it, you can’t stop once you look at it.

Tony himself is a genius with extremely high understanding. As soon as he saw this kind of classic, he became obsessed with it and read one after another.

From the "Tao Te Ching" to "Baopuzi" to "The Book of Saviors", "Tai Shang Yi Yuan Hai Kong Zhi Zang Jing" and other classics, Tony Stark read one after another.

However, his favorite is still the "Tao Te Ching" written by Lao Tzu. This short five thousand words contains countless avenues. Tony Stark feels that the "Tao Te Ching" is like a well that will never dry up, full of potential. Treasures can be easily obtained by putting them in a bucket.

In fact, the "Tao Te Ching" is not a rare book in the West. On the contrary, it can be bought anywhere. It's just that Tony Stark never reads books about faith. His only faith is It's science, but now he has changed, and now Tao has become his belief.

This is no nonsense. In fact, the sales volume of the "Tao Te Ching" has surpassed that of the "Bible" and has leapt to the top of all classics. It has now topped the world's book rankings.In China, "The Analects of Confucius" is more influential than "The Analects of Confucius"; abroad, "The Analects of Confucius" is more influential than "The Analects of Confucius"; according to UNESCO statistics, among the classics in various countries around the world, "Tao Te Ching" is the most translated The most numerous languages ​​and the largest circulation of classics handed down from generation to generation.

There are nearly 500 foreign language translations of the Tao Te Ching, 82 German translations of the Tao Te Ching, and more than 700 monographs on Laozi's thoughts.

Lao Tzu was the mentor of all Chinese kings for 2500 years and influenced China's history for 2500 years.A survey by German TV showed that Lao Tzu is still the "most famous Chinese" in the hearts of Germans, and every four Germans have a copy of the Tao Te Ching hidden in their homes.

When former German Prime Minister Gerhard Schroeder was in office, he called on every German family in a televised speech to buy a copy of the Tao Te Ching to help people resolve their ideological confusions.

U.S. President Ronald Reagan regards the "Tao Te Ching" as a treasure. In his second presidential inauguration speech, he quoted Lao Tzu's famous saying "Governing a big country is like cooking small delicacies" to explain his philosophy of governing the country.

(Alas, think about how many of us have not read the classics passed down by our ancestors. These are the treasures left by our ancestors.)

boom! boom! boom!

"Open the door!"

"Open the door!"

"Tony Stark, open the door for me!"

"Don't think that just because you're hiding inside and not opening the door, I think you're not home!"

There is only one person in the United States who speaks to Tony Stark in this tone, and that is his best friend James Lord, the owner of the future war machine.

The mansion where Tony Stark lives is all high-tech, and no one without certification can enter. Apart from Tony, there are only four people in the world who have certification.

They are his good uncle Obadiah, his best friend Colonel Rhodes, his driver and bodyguard Happy, and finally, of course, our little pepper Pepper.

However, Pepper's authority is a little higher than the other three. She has direct authority to enter Tony Stark's bedroom, but the other three do not.

"Sir, Colonel Rhodes seems to be in a hurry to find you." Jarvis, the electronic butler, reminded him.

As far as the sound insulation of Tony's door was concerned, even if Colonel Rhodes smashed it with his fist, the people inside wouldn't hear a single noise.

"Huh? He's not in a hurry. He would have called me if he had anything to do." Tony said that he didn't want to see his little friend.

Jarvis: "Sir, you seemed to have forgotten to charge your mobile phone yesterday, so..."

Card wipe!

The door opened, and a tall black man in a straight military uniform held a crystal trophy in one hand and kept slapping the door with the other hand.

"Ah! My dear friend, why are you here?"

Tony gave him a big hug as soon as he opened the door, blocking what Colonel Rhodes wanted to say.

A few hours ago, there was an awards ceremony, and the guest of honor was our Colonel Rhodes. When he shouted Tony Stark's name on the stage and prepared to award the award to his friend, Tony was still playing chess with Duke Zhou in his dream.

At that time, Colonel Rhodes' face was obviously darkened. You must know that he was a black man!

If you can make a black man's face darken, how angry do you have to be?

In the end, Obadiah came to the rescue and lied that Tony Stark had forgotten his work so that Colonel Rhodes could step down.

No, as soon as Colonel Rhodes stepped down, he went straight to Tony Stark's lair to kill him.

"Don't you know how I got here? Ah!"

At the last "Ah", Colonel Rhodes' tone rose a tone or two.

"Did they ask you to come?"

"No one asked me to come."

"sorry."

"They told me it would be a great honor for me to give you the award."

It is for this reason that Colonel Rhodes came out to be the guest of honor. Otherwise, he, a soldier, would have nothing to do with any guest of honor.

As a result, he specially came out to be the award guest, but Tony Stark gave up.

damn it!Sure enough, you shouldn’t be an award guest!

"Of course, you're the one to present the award, how great!" Toni (that's right, that's Toni!) was trying to appease her friends.

Rhodes held the trophy up like a dumbbell and said, "When are we going to award it?"

Toni: "Here?"

Rod: "Here."

Tony Award: "I'm so sorry."

The tone was very sincere, but if the expression wasn't so exaggerated, Rhodes would almost believe it.

Rhodes: "It doesn't matter. Don't forget it tomorrow!"

Toni: "Of course."

Tomorrow Tony Stark and Colonel Rhodes will take a plane to the Middle East together, and Tony said that he will never be late.

"Sir, it's time to get up. Today we have a trip to the Middle East with Colonel Rhodes."

The next day, Tony Stark was woken up on time by the electronic butler Jarvis.

At this time, Tony Stark could get up slowly, wash up, have breakfast and arrive at the airport on time, but Tony Stark chose to take out his "Tao Te Ching".

"The best thing is like water. Water is good for all things and does not fight. It is what everyone hates, so it is close to the Tao. It lives in a good place, has a good heart, is kind and benevolent, speaks good faith, governs well, does good things, and does good things at the right time. The husband does not fight, so Wuyou.”

Two hours later, Rhodes at the airport looked at the watch on his wrist and remained silent, but his face turned a little darker.
