The imprint of the universe and the return of all things

Section 1. Dangers in Sightseeing

Not long after the convoy of Hill's team drove, they arrived at the first stop of the"sightseeing trip" - the Dunhuang Caves Murals.

The murals in the Grottoes are a famous tourist attraction in Dunhuang and a palace of religious art. It was built in the ancient times of Huaxia and has undergone continuous construction in several dynasties and lasted for thousands of years. There are hundreds of caves, tens of thousands of square meters of murals, and more than 2,000 clay sculptures. It is huge, majestic and magnificent. The grotto murals depict various classic stories, mountain scenery, pavilions, pavilions, etc., as well as many scenes of the life and work of ancient people. They are rich in content, rich and colorful.

Although it is the off-season for tourism, there are not as many tourists in the cave murals as there are during the peak season, but there is still an endless stream of tourists, many of whom are foreign tourists from afar.

In order to avoid leaking their whereabouts, everyone in Hill's team, except Raj, wore camouflage tools to cover their eyes.

After the group got off the bus, under the leadership of Li Qing, they entered the cave murals to visit.

Although everyone is not very interested in Buddhist culture, they can't help but be attracted by the unique artistic works in the grotto that contain deep historical heritage. Li Qing gave various explanations and introductions to everyone along the way, and the stories he told made the works of art even more colorful and impressive.

When Li Qing was talking about some mural stories about the Buddhist idea of ​​"karma" (such as"No Resentment"》、《Tan Ni Karma》、《"The Karmic Destiny of the Jintian Couple's Blessings"), Hill listened very attentively and seemed to have some insights.

Li Qing said:"Buddhism pays attention to karma and retribution. If you sow good causes, you will get good results. If you sow evil causes, you will get bad results. Good will be rewarded with good and evil will be rewarded with evil. When Sakyamuni was explaining Buddhist teachings, he used these beautiful stories and Legend has it that people in the world are advised to believe in Buddhism, not to bully the weak, to be true to their word, to do good deeds, to accumulate merit, and to be rewarded with blessings in the next life; on the contrary, they will be punished and receive bad retribution in the next life. So, according to Buddhism, like this Mr. Kurt... No, you are a philanthropist like Hill who has done so many good deeds and helped so many people. I believe you will be blessed in your next life."

Hill murmured to himself:"Even if there is an afterlife, I shouldn't be the one who deserves blessings."

Li Qing asked curiously,"Why not you?"

Hill smiled and didn't answer.

Hill looked at the murals and said meaningfully:"I think what these stories show are just superficial. The concept of cause and effect should not be so superficial, but should have a deeper meaning." After thinking for a while,

Li Qing said :"If you want to have a deeper meaning, you have to explain it from a philosophical perspective. There is a very classic Buddhist verse in the Buddhist scriptures, that is,"all dharmas arise due to causes and conditions, and all dharmas cease due to causes and conditions." It means that everything Things are caused by the combined action of certain causes and certain conditions. For example, a seed is the"cause". The person who sows it buries it in the soil, and then experiences the nourishment of sunshine, rain and dew, which is the"destiny". Finally, it sprouts, grows and bears fruit, which is"fruit". This is how things come into being, and so is the"change" and"destruction" of things.

Therefore, nothing will happen or exist without reason. The reason why they happen or Existence must be caused by certain reasons. And everything people do now and any decisions they make will become new"causes" and will definitely produce corresponding results at some point in the future." Hill listened to

Li Qing's explanation, nodded slightly, and said:"I agree with this philosophy. Without cause, there is no result. I believe that many seemingly accidental things are actually inevitable." He turned around and spoke to everyone calmly. Xu said:"Just like the reason why we are all gathered together today, it seems to be caused by various chances and coincidences, but in fact there is a deeper"cause" at work behind it, which is a mysterious force. The mysterious power is driving us."

After listening to Hill's words, the team members all understood something, except Raj.

Raj said:"I understand all the stories Qing told just now. But the words you said are too profound, I don't understand what they mean."

Hill said:"It doesn't matter, I believe you will understand in the future. of"

-

After everyone visited the cave murals, they immediately drove to the next attraction - Fengsha Mountain and Moon Spring.

Fengsha Mountain is a spectacular large sand mountain located in the south of Dunhuang City. It is formed by accumulation of quicksand. The fine sand grains, mainly quartz, are in five colors: red, yellow, green, white and black. They are crystal clear and do not stick to any dust. Due to climate and geographical reasons, the quicksand on the mountain will make various sounds during movement, sometimes as light as silk bamboo, sometimes as heavy as thunder, forming a great wonder of nature.

Surrounded by windy sand mountains, there lies a long pool of pure spring water that looks like a crescent moon. This beautiful spring is Moon Spring. The water of Moon Spring is clear, quiet, sweet, blue and beautiful, which makes people feel relaxed and happy. There are several majestic pavilions and pavilions standing beside the spring, which are well-proportioned, simple and elegant.

The scenery of Fengsha Mountain and Moon Spring was so beautiful that members of Hill's team couldn't help but be moved by it. They were just pretending to travel, but when they were in the beautiful scenery, they unconsciously forgot about the tension of having a mission and devoted themselves to enjoying the fun of traveling.

Raj saw many tourists riding groups of camels on the top of the sand mountain, and asked Li Qing:"Those camels look very interesting. Can I ride them too?"

Li Qing smiled. Said:"Of course, I will arrange it for you right away. Camel riding is a major feature here, it is a very special experience."

Raj took Reina's hand and said to her:"You Come too."

Reina glanced at the sand-covered camels and said with disgust:"Those things are dirty and smelly, and they feel disgusting. I don't want to ride them."

Raj said:"Give it a try. It should be fun."

Seeing the excitement on Raj's face, Reina could only say reluctantly:"Okay, okay, for you, I have to sacrifice this limited edition Valentino skirt. I hope those smelly camels It's just covered with mud and dust."

Li Qing said to the rest of the team,"Is there anyone else who wants to join?"

Zoe asked Ito, who was standing next to her,"How about we ride camels together too? ?"

Ito was busy taking pictures of the scenery with his mobile phone (actually taking the opportunity to peek at Li Qing) when he was suddenly asked by Zoe. After hesitating for a moment, he said:"This looks a bit dangerous, so let's forget it."

Li Qing said:"Don't worry, those camels are very docile and it is safe to ride them. And I will accompany you all the way."

When Ito heard that Li Qing was accompanying him, he quickly agreed:"In that case, count me in One."

Jason said:"And me, I haven't ridden a camel before, I want to experience it." (Actually, Jason is not interested in riding a camel, but his first priority is to protect Ito and Raj, he can rest assured There were no less than two people, so I decided to follow them.)

Li Qing said:"Okay. Let's go over there now. The remaining friends can first go to the buildings by the spring to visit and Rest, and after our tour here is over, we will meet you."

Hill said,"We'd better stay on the sand by the spring to rest. The scenery here is better."

Dr. Wood said with some worry:""Prophet," the air here is dry and the wind and sand are fierce. Your body is not suitable for staying here. We'd better go into the temple."

Hill said:"It doesn't matter."

Dr. Wood said:"But you……"

Hill interrupted:"I said, it doesn't matter."

Seeing this, Dr. Wood had to give up trying to persuade Hill.

Li Qing said:"Okay, we'll see you later." Then he led Raj, Reina, Ito, Zoe, and Jason to the Windy Sand Mountain to find the camel team.

After Li Qing negotiated the price with the camel driver of a camel team, several people began to ride tall camels for a walk on the sand mountain. Among them, Raj hugged Reina intimately and rode on a camel, walking at the front of the camel team. Ito wanted to use the excuse of being afraid of danger and invite Li Qing to ride a camel with him, but he was helplessly pulled onto the camel she was riding by Zoe enthusiastically. Li Qing and Jason rode on two camels and walked behind the camel team.

The setting sun was shining in the west, the sky was high and the sky was high, the sand was long, and the camel bells were ringing softly. For the first time, Raj, a young man from India, experienced the vastness and magnificence of the desert scenery, and he suddenly felt relaxed. He looked down at Reina, who was nestled in his arms. Reina playfully took off her human skin mask, revealing her original face. Raj saw Reina looking as beautiful as a flower under the sunlight, and his heart was filled with sweetness. He couldn't help but kissed Lena's cheek, and said from the bottom of his heart:"You are so beautiful, and I feel very lucky to be with you."

Lena turned around and smiled sweetly:"Yes, you should feel Lucky you." Then he kissed Raj passionately.

Ito, who was following Raj and Reina, saw this scene and was filled with envy. At this time, Zoe, who was sitting in front of him, was seriously explaining to him the difference between deserts on Mars and deserts on Earth, chattering endlessly and without any charm. At the same time, Li Qing, whom he had a crush on, was riding side by side with Jason behind him. The two were chatting and laughing happily, and Li Qing even sang a short folk song for Jason. She didn't pay any attention to Ito, nor did she have any intention of asking him to communicate. Ito couldn't help but sigh secretly.

On the other side, Hill and others found a relatively clean place to sit down and rest on the sand beside the spring. In addition to them, there were many tourists stopping to take pictures, laughing and playing, or sitting around chatting, making it very lively.

While Hill put on the neural control digital glasses, adjusted the focus, and observed the situation of Ito and others on the sandy mountain in the distance, he asked Kevin:"Have you contacted the person in charge of the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center?"

Kai Wen said:"We have already contacted him. He said that their technical department is very willing to cooperate with us on R&D projects and has agreed to all our requests."

Hill said lightly:"This cooperation is very beneficial to them. Naturally, they will not would refuse such an opportunity. However, we cannot take it lightly. After all, an organization like theirs……"

Hill said, suddenly stopped, quickly took out his mobile phone and dialed Jason's number, shouting to Jason:"Stop Raj quickly, don't let him act alone, there may be a trap there!"

Everyone else followed suit! Hill looked around and saw Raji on the sand mountain who didn't know when he got off the camel and was running desperately to the other side of the sand mountain. Reina, who was still on the camel's back, shouted to Raj, but Raj ignored her.

After Jason received Hill's call, he quickly jumped off the camel and chased Raj. Before leaving, he hurriedly said to Li Qing:"Qing, please look after Ito for me."

Li Qing was confused and didn't know what happened. But when she saw Jason begging her so nervously, she felt that it was a big deal, so she quickly asked the camel driver to speed up the camel and keep up with the camel that Ito and Zoe were riding.

Seeing the sudden change, Ito and Zoe looked at each other with shocked expressions.

At this moment, another camel team on the sand mountain approached Ito and his team intentionally or unintentionally. There were three female tourists wearing casual clothes sitting on top of the camel team. All three of them had silk scarves wrapped around their heads, so their faces could not be seen.

Due to her years of practicing martial arts, Li Qing was very alert. She noticed that one of the female tourists closest to them had her hands in her trouser pockets and her eyes were locked on Ito, as if she was ready to make a move. The female tourist's trouser pockets were slightly bulging, as if she was hiding something.

Li Qing felt uneasy and rode a camel close to Ito and Zoe. At the same time, he asked the camel driver to lead the camel that Jason had just ridden to the side of the camel team to block the camel team from approaching them further.

The female tourist looked at Li Qing, hesitated for a moment, and then pretended to be nonchalant and followed their camel team away.

Li Qing secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.

On the other side, after running for a while, Raj came to the other side of the sand mountain. This place is located on the outskirts of the scenic spot and has few tourists.

Raj wanted to use"divine power" to inject"divine power" into his feet when no one was paying attention, and speed up, but unexpectedly, he was pushed down to the sand by Jason who was chasing behind him.

"Let me go, I see him, my enemy - Sachin Rajan, he is in front, I want to settle accounts with him!"Raj shouted loudly.

Jason shouted:"Calm down, he deliberately led you there. There is probably an ambush ahead, don't fall into his trap."

Raj activated his"divine power" and bounced Jason away from him, then stood up and continued running forward, saying:"Even if there is an ambush in front of me, I can handle it, so you don't have to worry about it."

Jason saw Raj's"superpower" for the first time. He fell on the sand and was shocked. Then he came back to his senses and caught up with Raj again. He threw him to the ground and said to Raj,"Don't be stupid. Yes, he followed him all the way from India. He must have come prepared. How could he let you succeed so easily?"

Raj showed a disapproving expression, and was about to use his"divine power" to bounce Jason away again.

Jason said sharply:"Listen, kid, you are not alone now, you are in a team. The enemy's target is not just you. As a person, any mistake you make may bring fatal danger to the members of the team, including your favorite Reina, do you understand?"

Raj was startled, calmed down and thought about it. He felt that what Jason said made sense, so he did not resist anymore. He could only watch the figure of Sachin Rajan disappear in the yellow sand in front of him, and whispered:"I understand.."

Jason let go of Raj, lifted him up from the ground, and took him back to Moon Spring.

Ito, Li Qing, Reina, and Zoe have also returned to the spring from Fengsha Mountain, and are with Hill and others. Reunion.

When Reina saw Raj, she scolded him:"You idiot, how could you just abandon me like this. What on earth did you just see?"

Raj lowered his head and said,"I'm sorry, I just……"

Hill interrupted Raj and said,"Wait, let's get in the car and talk." After saying that, he pulled Raj into one of the Wrangler off-road vehicles. Hill winked at Jason, and Jason called Ito knowingly, and they followed him into the car. Reina followed them angrily, and got into the car regardless of Hill's consent.

Li Qing and other members rode on two other off-road vehicles.
