The imprint of the universe and the return of all things

Section 1. Sigh in front of the ruins.

In the ruins of Ronglan Ancient City, there are no beautiful scenery, no majestic buildings, only ruins. Dilapidated earth walls and earthen houses are scattered all over this desolate land, giving no hint that this was once a glorious city.

Li Qing introduced to everyone:"Although this is a barren land now, more than two thousand years ago, it was a must-pass on the ancient trade road and an important trade hub between the East and the West. Here, A beautiful oasis kingdom with a splendid culture and a large scale was born - the ancient Ronglan Kingdom.

Because it was located on the main road of trade, the Ronglan Kingdom at that time had a large population, smooth trade, and a prosperous economy, and merchants from the East and the West were here. Trade and rest, Eastern and Western civilizations are blended and developed here, creating a prosperous scene. At the same time, Lop Nur, with clear lakes, abundant resources and beautiful scenery, surrounds Ronglan, silently nourishing the people of Ronglan. Their lives enabled the people of Ronglan to have enough food and clothing, and live and work in peace and contentment through fishing and hunting.

It can be said that during the period when the Ronglan Kingdom existed, it was a paradise for desert people to thrive, and it was the most prosperous and powerful country in the Western Regions. One of the dynasties, it is the"pearl" on the trade road.

On the ruins of the ancient city in front of us, paintings and sculptures in the West Asian art style, Roman-style glassware, Persian-style glassware fragments, ancient Indian khakis have been unearthed Luwen wooden slips, clay statues of Greek gods, ancient Huaxia wooden slips, paper documents, weapons, decorations, and a large number of silk brocades from the Liangjiang River Basin, etc. These unearthed cultural relics reveal the rich and diverse unique charm and splendor of the Ronglan ancient country. history.

Not only that, it is worth mentioning that in addition to cultural relics, a world-famous beauty mummy was also excavated here——"Princess Ronglan"""She" has a history of more than 2,000 years. It is a perfect mummy that was preserved due to special natural reasons. Her identity is confusing. Some people say she is the princess of Ronglan Kingdom, while others say she is from Lop Nur. The Queen, some say she is the wife of the prince of the Western Regions, there have been different opinions. Although it has been dried for thousands of years, her delicate face is still well preserved. She has deep eye sockets, long eyelashes, a thin nose, and a thin lips, with a sweet smile on her face. Later, archaeological experts restored her appearance, making her peerless beauty reappear in the world. After seeing her appearance, people were all amazed by her beauty Unparalleled, he was deeply attracted by her fairy-like beauty. The appearance of"her" added a romantic color to the already gorgeous and mysterious Ronglan ancient country. The legend that the Ronglan ancient country was rich in beauties has also been widely circulated. , was talked about by people.

However, this beautiful kingdom that was once prosperous suddenly died around the 4th century AD and was silently forgotten by people. Since then, it has been buried in the long yellow sand. Nearly two thousand years passed. It was not until the site was excavated in the last century that it was seen again. The archaeological community has been debating endlessly about its bizarre annihilation, and it is still a big mystery. Some believe that it was caused by the wandering of Lop Nur. , some think it was due to the invasion of the powerful northern powers, and some think it was affected by the changes in trade routes. But no matter what the reason, the bright and colorful ancient Ronglan Kingdom disappeared from the stage of history forever, turning into grains of sand and grain before our eyes. dust……"

After listening to Li Qing's infectious explanation, Hill and others were fascinated by the ancient Ronglan country thousands of years ago. They turned back to look at the ruins in front of them, which were not even ruins. When they saw the desolate and lonely scene, they couldn't help but be moved and filled with emotion and sigh.

Ito was originally a sentimental person. Under this situation, he couldn't help but murmured:"Fifty years of life, compared with the heaven and earth, are like a dream and an illusion. How can there be a person who is alive once?""It will be destroyed." In the face of time, no matter how glorious a dynasty is, it has become loess, and no matter how beautiful a life is, it has become a corpse. I wonder how people will view us today after tens of millions of years? By then, will there still be people? Do you remember my existence?"

Li Qing, who was on the side, listened to Ito's words and said to him:"To be honest, I actually feel the same as you. Although I have brought tourists here many times, every time I see this It is inevitable to be touched by the scene, lamenting the insignificance of life in the long river of history, and being confused by the impermanence of life and destiny." After hearing the two people's emotions, Hill said to Ito and Li Qing solemnly:"Compared In terms of the long history of mankind, a person's life is indeed short. But the fate of everyone is different. Some people are destined to live a mediocre life, just like an unknown drop of water, submerged in the rolling torrent of history. And some people are destined to achieve extraordinary things, to make huge waves in the torrent of history, and to lead the development of the historical process. You, me, and the rest of this team all belong to the latter, and are all controlled by some mysterious force. The person chosen by the mysterious power is the person who shoulders the historical mission. I believe that our names will not only be remembered by future generations, but also by the universe. This is our destiny." Ito looked at Nozomi with some surprise. Er, said to Hill:"To be honest, I actually don't understand. Isn't your Cosmos Religion a religious religion that advocates science? Why do you always talk about mysterious power, destiny and the like? This sounds like some The theory of gods and ghosts."

Hill said:"This is not a theory of ghosts and gods, but a philosophical thought. I have always believed that many microscopic accidental events actually have a macroscopic necessity. For example, a person For him, he was lucky enough to win the lottery. This was an accidental event with a very low probability. However, it is inevitable that someone will eventually win the lottery. In the same way, you created a micro wormhole , this is an accidental event, but with the advancement of science and technology, even if it is not created by you, there will always be other scientists who create it. This is an inevitable event; Sablin can discover alien biological signals, which is an accident incident, but with the in-depth research on the exploration of extraterrestrial organisms, even if it is not Sablin, there will always be someone else who discovers the signals of extraterrestrial organisms. This is an inevitable outcome; Raj has a new type of alien organism due to genetic mutation. energy metabolism system, this is an accidental event, but among the billions of human beings, even if it is not Raj, there will always be other humans with similar genetic mutations. This is an inevitable event. In fact, once For a while, I often thought that my own appearance was an accidental event, so was there some kind of inevitability behind it? This question once deeply troubled me and made me puzzled.. It wasn’t until later that I finally figured it out."

Li Qing said,"Let me guess, I think I know the answer."

Hill said,"Really?"

Li Qing said:"According to your theory, I think it should be like this. The appearance of you with extraordinary intelligence is an accidental event. However, throughout the history of mankind, there will be people with outstanding intelligence like you in every era. Appear, such as great inventors and scientists like Leonardo da Vinci, Einstein, Tesla, and Hawking. So, even if you don't appear, there will always be a similar person. This is a historical necessity, right?"

Hill said:"In a sense, this is indeed an inevitability. However, the necessity I felt was not this, but something much greater.

Li Qing asked:"What is that?"

Hill said word for word:"The mystery of the universe." I see through the mysteries of the universe.

Ito said in shock:"What?" What do you mean by saying this? Hill said:"

As Qing just said, there have been many extremely smart people throughout the ages. Among these people with extremely developed minds, sooner or later there will be someone who can see through the mysteries of the entire universe. This is inevitable." And I happen to be the one who sees through the mysteries of the universe. After hearing this, Ito said excitedly:"You said you can see through the mysteries of the universe?" Could it be said that you have unified the four basic forces? Or...did you confirm string theory? Wait...have you discovered a parallel universe? Hill said with a mysterious expression:"I can't reveal this secret to you now because the time has not come yet." But I can tell you clearly that this mystery is related to our team. I discovered you and brought you together, all of which may seem accidental, but are actually closely related to this mystery. That's why I say, we are the chosen ones. Ito curled his lips and said dissatisfied:"Oh my god, you can't say it?" How many secrets do you still have hidden away? I'm getting more and more confused by you. Can't you just say them all at once? Hill said calmly:"These secrets are of great importance. For the sake of caution, I can only do this." Otherwise, once it leaks, the consequences will be serious. I think you can understand."

Ito sighed helplessly and said:"Okay, okay. You just like to titillate people anyway."

Section 2. Sneak attack by unknown objects.

After visiting the ruins of Ronglan Ancient City, Hill and his party drove northeast as planned to Bailong Desert. After arriving at Bailong Desert, they set up under a large earthen platform We set up a large tent to rest in the shade, waiting for Sablin and others to come and join us.

There are continuous earth platforms in the Bailong Desert, which belongs to the Yapun landform. The earth platforms in the Bailong Desert are composed of gravel, gypsum mud and salt-alkali, and are gray-white in color. , when there is sunlight, it will reflect little bits of silver light, just like the scales of a dragon, so this vast Yapun group will also be called"White Dragon" by the ancients. From a distance, the Bailong Desert looks like a group of The white dragon swimming in the sand sea, its white back disappears and appears in the waves, linked from head to tail, boundless, and extremely majestic. The climate in the desert is dry and hot. After running around in the desert for two days, everyone's spirits have become a little depressed.. Especially Hill, his body seemed to be much weaker, and even his breathing became a little heavy. Dr. Wood was taking care of him with concern.

Seeing that everyone was not in a good mental state, Li Qing wanted to tell everyone some interesting things. , to give everyone a heads-up. She introduced to everyone:"It is said that Master Xuanzang once passed here when he went to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures. According to legend, when Master Xuanzang was passing through this place, he happened to encounter a terrible sandstorm. The wind and sand made the sky dark and dark, and rolled towards him. At that critical moment, the white dragon horse riding by Master Xuanzang turned into a white dragon and protected Master Xuanzang. When the sandstorm passed, Bailongma had turned into a tall white dragon-shaped pile of rocks. Tang Xuanzang was grateful for Bailongma's rescue and called this place"Bailong Desert". Only with the protection of the white dragon horse, Master Xuanzang was able to walk through this dangerous desert.

Jason asked:"Master Xuanzang?" Is he the monk in"Journey to the West"? Li Qing smiled and said:"

I didn't expect you have heard of"Journey to the West".》？"

Jason said:"Of course, it is a famous mythological story. I remember this story is very interesting. It tells the story of a monkey monster, a pig monster, and a river monster protecting a monk, that is Master Xuanzang. After many hardships, The story about Ku going to India to get Buddhist scriptures, right?"

Li Qing said:"Yes. The monkey monster is called Sun Wukong, the pig monster is called Zhu Bajie, and the river monster is called Sha Seng. They all have great abilities and can kill people along the way. Kill demons and protect their master. Those monsters all want to eat their master, because if you eat him, you can live forever."

Jason smiled and said:"You know, I think our current situation We are very similar to the four masters and apprentices. In order to pursue what we want - something that can make the world a better place, we embark on a journey full of dangers. Along the way, various enemies are worried about us They hold our"treasures" and pester us like demons and monsters. It is not easy to deal with them. I wonder if after we succeed, someone will write our experiences into fairy tales and pass them down."

Li Qing said:"Your statement is quite interesting. So, if Hill is like"Master Xuanzang", who do you look like, Sun Wukong or Zhu Bajie?"

Jason smiled and said:"Hill is not like"Master Xuanzang""Mage", he is so powerful that he doesn't need protection at all. The person who really needs protection is Ito. I think Hill is more like the omnipotent Sun Wukong. And I, just think of it as the one named"Zhu Bajie" The monster is gone."

As soon as Jason said these words, Li Qing couldn't stop laughing.

Jason asked in confusion:"What are you laughing at? Did I say something wrong?"

Li Qing smiled and said:"I'm afraid you don't know, Zhu Bajie is famously ugly. Are you saying that you look like an ugly person? ?"

Everyone couldn't help but laugh after hearing this.

Jason laughed too.

However, his face quickly darkened and he shouted to everyone:"Shut up and be quiet."

Seeing Jason's serious expression, Li Qing thought he had made Jason angry, so he quickly apologized to Jason:"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have made fun of you. In fact, I……"

Jason interrupted and gave her a"please be quiet" gesture.

Li Qing had no choice but to stop talking. At this time, she suddenly noticed something strange and felt that the air around her seemed to be flowing rapidly.

After Jason listened to the sounds outside the tent, he suddenly shouted:"Quick, everyone, get out of here!"

Everyone didn't know why, but they still listened to Jason's words and hurriedly ran out of the big tent.

As soon as they left, a dazzling beam of light shot into the tent. Immediately afterwards, a violent explosion occurred in the tent, blowing the tent to pieces and turning the place where Hill and the others had been sitting into scorched earth. Everyone was immediately frightened and gasped.
