Since we are all going to die eventually, what is the point of living? Regardless of ten thousand days, twenty thousand days, or thirty thousand days, everything will end. What will the world look like after the end, or what it will not look like. Everything is like fading light. Death, an insurmountable barrier for all, turns vitality into a prosperous and short-lived illusion, causing forgetfulness to follow. After forgetfulness, only patchwork memories remain.
In a guest room of Yunzhong Temple.
Yuying asked: "Uncle Jiu, do you think it will be the Xingchen Society or the Ge Laohui that comes up with the immortality technology first?"
Shangguan Jiu said: "It's impossible for them."
"That's right. But I still like the format of Ge Laohui's "Eternal Life Capsule"."
Shangguan Jiu hummed: "Indeed, it doesn't matter whether its principle is nanorobots, pluripotent stem cells, or nicotinamide. Anyway, it is in the form of a capsule for people to take, and it can It’s enough to achieve eternal life in a physical sense.”
He paused and continued: "It's a pity that the capsules we provide now are just spiritual drugs, a kind of thing that creates illusions. It has some meaning, but it is meaningless. As for the "immortality robot" advocated by the Star Society, I don't know anything about it. I don’t like it either, even the flesh and body are gone, and the wonderful illusion of being in love with each other is gone.”
"What about the next generation? Can they achieve eternal life?"
Shangguan Jiu turned and said: "Some animals can achieve half-brain sleep. During sleep, half of the head remains awake and the other half falls asleep."
"so what?"
"Everything is possible."
Yuying poked the flat palm of her left hand with her right index finger and said stop.
"Uncle Jiu, every time you talk about a key point, you start to get into metaphysics. It's the same thing every time you talk about whether you liked my aunt or not."
"We will fall in love with many people, but we may never fall in love with one person in our entire life. In this case, it is the same for anyone we like."
Yuying turned pale and said: "Let's not talk about it anymore. I am not satisfied with the girl prepared for Ye Yun this time. Mu Yu, she was once a very famous beauty model of human body and art. Everyone covets her. Three feet.”
Shangguan Jiu couldn't help frowning when he heard this, "The Shangguan family is getting more and more outrageous, and this kind of woman is here to test."
Hearing this, Yuying raised her voice and said: "Uncle Jiu, what do you mean? What do you mean by this kind of woman? It's obvious that you men are nothing. It has nothing to do with us women. And why do you let them all come to Ye Yun? Humph?" , shameless and incredible!”
Shangguan Jiu shook his head when he saw this: "Okay, okay, you started it first. I don't care about this. It's not me who gave you orders in this area. Do you dare to say this to your eighth master directly? "
After hearing this, Yuying said in a low voice: "Okay, pretend I didn't say anything. Who doesn't know that Master Ba kills without blinking an eye, he was the only one who could tie with Fang Shiyi back then."
Shangguan Jiu hummed when he heard Fang Shiyi's name.
Yuying sighed: "It's not just to make some money. I really don't want to deal with them anymore."
Shangguan Jiu looked at Yuying coldly: "Is it just to make money? Then you might as well buy a welfare lottery ticket, which can not only contribute but also try your luck."
Yuying seemed to be distracted and became silent.
Outside Yunzhong Temple.
Groups of tourists take buses to visit around Yunzhong Mountain. The announcement in the tourist reception reminds you: You have entered a national nature reserve. Fishing, fishing, hunting, and plant picking are prohibited in the reserve. Protecting the ecology is everyone’s responsibility. Please understand and cooperate, thank you for your support!
In the guest room.
After Ye Yun felt comfortable and refreshed, he felt like a dream but not a dream.
"Who are you?"
"Who do you think I am?"
"Who do you like best among the people you have been intimate with? Qin Qin? Qiao Nuannuan? Mu Siyao? Is there anyone else you long for? Shangguan Yu? Xue Rongrong? Liu Youyue?"
After hearing these questions, Ye Yun couldn't help but feel his heart throbbing again. Beautiful and embarrassing memories slowly and violently came to his heart. The accidental stimulation, excitement, and joy of reunion, which he refused to remember because of guilt, were worth it. Slowly recall.
His memories came to a few years ago, when Ye Yun was fifteen or sixteen years old. At that time, there was no League of Legends game that he loved to play.
At that time, his family gave him a key to the Yunzhongshan cabin, and he went to Yunzhongshan alone.
It was summer vacation, the mountains were covered with lush greenery, and the chirping of birds and cicadas could be heard all the time. The mountain road was steep and my feet hurt when I walked on it, but the shade was dense and cool, and the air was fresh, making my mouth a little moist.
Ye Yun suddenly saw a figure at the corner of a mountain road and was startled. Seeing a person in this deep mountain forest was more frightening than seeing a ghost.
Ye Yun looked carefully and saw a girl with a long ponytail and a denim suspender jumpsuit. Her long, thin white arms and legs were exposed. She was beautiful and cute, with beads of sweat on her forehead.
The girl was startled when she saw someone suddenly appearing. She retracted her hand that was holding the tree, took a step back with one leg, and stared at Ye Yun closely with her two black eyes, looking back and forth.
The two looked at each other, and Ye Yun was wondering how this girl could come to this remote mountain alone. He had been walking here for an hour or two along the well-trodden path, and seeing that the girl was resting here, he must have been here longer. , could it be that she also came here to look for a mountain house, but her family said that only one mountain house was built.
When the girl saw Ye Yun's handsome appearance and brand-new clothes, she took back her step.
Ye Yun only felt that the girl's face was familiar. After all, in this wilderness, he saw that the girl was a little wary of him, so he had no intention of striking up a conversation. He thought of going to the mountain house and resting for a while.
Ye Yun then continued walking along the mountain road.
The girl looked at Ye Yun's back, her brows tightened, "Hey, wait a moment."
Ye Yun's heart skipped a beat. It sounded so nice, so familiar. Who was she? she is? Oh, yes, that sweet female voice on the school radio station.
Ye Yun stopped and turned around: "Are you from No. 10 Middle School?"
The girl relaxed her brows and looked happy, "You are also from the top ten? No wonder you look familiar."
Ye Yun hummed, "My name is Ye Yun. Does your voice come from a radio station? Why are you here alone?"
"My name is Mu Siyao, I..." the girl hesitated, "I am just wandering around in the mountains by myself."
"Mu Siyao? You are a celebrity in the school." Ye Yun smiled and said, "Are you going down the mountain now?"
"No, I'm going to rest here for the night."
Ye Yun looked at Mu Siyao in disbelief, "It's so cold here at night. There is a house in the mountain in front, why don't you go there to rest."
"House? How come there is a house in Yunzhongshan?"
"Of course, otherwise why would I be here?"
"Really?" Mu Siyao looked around. Although he was quite brave, if he really spent a night alone in the barren mountains, he might not be able to survive it.
Ye Yun hummed, and Mu Siyao turned to ask, "Have you noticed anything strange along the way?"
"Strange? It's just a mountain road with nothing but trees. It's just that I shouldn't dare to walk alone at night."
These words made Mu Siyao's scalp tingle, and he immediately said: "When I came here, there was only a mountain road, but when I tried to walk back, it was not a mountain road at all. I have been going around here for five hours. ”
"Huh? You've been walking for five hours? And what's going on here?"
"I looked carefully later and found that every road actually forks. It's just that the path from bottom to top is very obvious. Just go straight up. But if you go back, another forked path that you didn't pay attention to originally will be there. It will interfere with myself. If I hadn't marked this area, I wouldn't be able to walk here."
Ye Yun couldn't help frowning and said: "Yes, I have an impression when you say that. It is indeed a problem when you return. You should have marked it when you came. So what should you do now? Continue walking down the mountain?"
"I can't walk anymore."
"Or do you follow me to that house?"
Mu Siyao hesitated for a while. She was in a dilemma on the maze-like mountainside and nodded.
The two of them walked towards the mountain house, chatting as they walked.
Unconsciously, two hours have passed and the mountain house has not arrived yet.
Ye Yun felt strange and turned on his cell phone, but there was no signal at all.
Ye Yun and Mu Siyao looked at each other, completely lost.
The deserted mountains and lonely fields, the dilemma between advancement and retreat, the lonely man and the widow, are profound.
