During the Southwest Border War, Pan Tianyi's father accidentally broke off his finger by an enemy shell in order to rescue his comrades, and one of his ears seemed to be deafened by the explosion. Now miraculously cured and back to normal, the family is very happy, and the news has naturally spread to his comrades and fellow villagers.

That night, a full moon as big as a basin hung in the sky, casting a silvery glow over Panlong Village.

Pan Tianyi was sitting in his yard on a square mahogany table filled with fruits and moon cakes, as well as a stack of thin sesame cakes! He and his sister each took a piece of sesame cake, sat on a small bench, looked at the bright moon, and bit into it. It tasted particularly delicious.

Suddenly, two unfamiliar uncles passed through the outer gate and entered the courtyard directly. They saw Pan Tianyi and his brother and sister and walked slowly over.

"Kid! Are you Da Panyu at home?" A young man in casual clothes and a liberation hat knelt down and looked at him kindly.

"Who is it? Li Wang?" Before Pan Tianyi could react, Pan Yu's voice came from the kitchen. Panyu and his wife were baking sesame cakes in the kitchen. The scent of sesame was exuding from the large iron pot, and the firelight in the pot hit Panyu's strong and slender face. Liu Chunlan looked outside the door with a puzzled face, and looked at Pan Yu in confusion. Panyu stuffed a handful of corn cobs into the pot, stood up and walked out of the kitchen.

"Hey...it's really Li Wang!" Pan Yu saw his old comrades coming all the way to visit him, and gratefully invited them into the main room. "Xiao Li, it's good to have people here. Why don't you bring any gifts? I'm seeing you..."

"Captain Pan, I'm so sorry for you! It took me so long to come and see you!" Li Wang stepped forward and hugged the former belligerent and friendly company commander tightly, feeling ashamed and remorseful at the same time.

"Don't blame yourself. The traffic here is really inconvenient. Besides, you should also pay attention to repairing your old injuries!" Pan Yu understood that in that battle, most members of his company were no better than him. Panyu looked behind Li Wang. A man he didn't seem to recognize, a young man in his thirties wearing a gray tunic suit, was standing quietly behind Li Wang. He had a Chinese-character face with thick eyebrows. It was as if he had drawn two heavy strokes with a brush, and a pair of bright eyes under his eyebrows were looking at Pan Yu affectionately.

"Who is this?" Pan Yu looked behind Li Wang, as if he had seen him somewhere.

"Company Commander Pan, what a forgetful benefactor! I am Gao Jianhua who you once saved!" The young man in Mao suit didn't wait for Li Wang to introduce him, and took a step forward to hold Pan Yu's hands excitedly.

"Yes, this is Director Gao of the Supernatural Powers Bureau of the Second Expedition Base of the Southeast War Zone!" Li Wang introduced Pan Yu eagerly, with envy in his eyes.

It is said that in that border battle, in order to compete for the 951 Hilltop Highlands, our army killed and injured many soldiers, but could not win the victory! Later, the army's top brass transferred a special-powered team from the Second Southeast Expedition Base, and they were able to capture the mountain with little loss. The supernatural team led by Director Gao was almost destroyed during the battle with the opponent's superpower. Fortunately, the rear rescue force arrived in time. Among them, the company led by Pan Yu first discovered the seriously injured Director Gao, and then gained the initiative on the battlefield behind.

Panyu asked Tianyi to go to the canteen at the west end of the village to buy two bottles of Huanghe Daqu Baijiu, and then ordered Liu Chunlan to make a few plates of cold dishes in the kitchen. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, comrades from far away gather together to drink wine, eat moon cakes and admire the moon with their families. There is nothing better than this.

After drinking and eating, several adults chatted about the process of Panyu's self-healing from his old injury. Panyu even cut his finger with a knife. A drop of blood flowed from his finger, and the wound quickly healed itself.

Director Gao was very curious about this and carefully observed Panyu's wounds with his piercing eyes, guessing that Panyu had acquired a superpower, that is, the body can quickly repair damaged tissue until it recovers as before. This ability may have been transmitted by other people with special abilities. At this time, Gao Jianhua also activated his celestial eye, which allowed him to clearly perceive changes in the energy of the surrounding magnetic field. At the same time, he could also see invisible light that ordinary people could not see with the naked eye. In other words, he can see more than 90% of the invisible light in the universe, but his Heavenly Eye ability is far different from Pan Tianyi's Heavenly Eye ability.

At this time, he looked around and suddenly discovered that the glow of a person's human body was particularly dazzling! And this brilliance radiates from Pan Tianyi! Pan Tianyi was a thin man and seemed timid standing at the door, not daring to come in when he saw strangers. Gao Jianhua was very surprised. He had never seen such a strong human body glow! He looked at Pan Tianyi affectionately, turned to Pan Yu and said with a smile.

"Company Commander Pan, if you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can always ask me for help! If you want to join the army, I can highly recommend you to the Second Base!"

"Thank you very much, Director Gao, for your kindness. I appreciate Panyu! I have only been a soldier for a few years, and I really want to spend more time with my wife and children!"

Director Gao saw that Pan Yu wanted to refuse, which was reasonable, and said regretfully: "Your son Pan Tianyi wants to join the Second Expedition Base in the future, so he can ask me for help!"

"I wish I were good enough to be a soldier!" Pan Yu silently looked at Tianyi who was standing at the door of the hall and sighed.

The Second Expedition Base, located along the southeastern coast of China, specializes in participating in major global hotspot events and maintaining international security order. Although the tasks of soldiers are arduous, the treatment they receive from the state is also quite good. They can be assigned houses and receive generous allowances.

Time passes, and the years are quiet.

Pantian was reborn from drowning at the age of six, and his soul consciousness began to awaken. In the previous reincarnation of the earth, the vacuum spiritual energy here was thin, and there was no dense quantum energy in the initial state of the universe. Therefore, we must continue to perceive and gain faith, so that our consciousness can continue to increase! Only then can the soul be transformed perfectly! Maybe, there is God’s will in the dark!

It was a cold winter, and the poplar trees beside the pit pierced the silver-gray sky, shivering in the biting cold wind...

In the dim light of the morning, Pan Tianyi's mother Liu Chunlan, wearing a blue headscarf and carrying a large plastic box on her back, opened the iron gate of the courtyard and walked to the market to sell lanterns.

At that time, lanterns of various colors were all handmade. The basic frame was made of sorghum poles, and then a layer of rice paper was covered on the frame to make a lantern. The steps for making skin paper are roughly divided into: folding, twining, dry steaming, bending, and shaping. After drying, the deformed colored paper can be folded into a spherical shape; then it is glued to the frame with paste, and colored beard-shaped shredded paper is pasted on the upper and lower cylindrical openings, and a complete lantern is ready.

Every night, Pan Tianyi would always see her mother silently while sleeping in bed, counting the few dollars she earned from selling lanterns today under the weak kerosene lamp, over and over again.

A large mushroom-shaped willow crown, with several thick branches extending to the roof, wisps of smoke spreading over the branches, and several small sparrows flying around on the tree.

The courtyard is filled with long square tables, with many shaped colored papers and various large and small brushes placed on them. Pan Tianyi's mother is making several red lanterns. The skin material is plastic paper for the first time, and the shape is relatively stable this time. Then, she used her dexterous hands to draw the outline of a phoenix on the colored paper; then she used stiff paper to make a three-dimensional phoenix, with colorful phoenix tails attached to the lanterns, with four phoenix heads facing outward, and each holding a phoenix in its mouth. A colorful hydrangea hangs high on both sides of the door. It is really beautiful.

"Mom! Why do you want to make such a big lantern?" Pan Tianyi opened a pair of dark and bright round eyes, and his young round face was full of curiosity.

"Watch carefully, you and your sister must learn to make lanterns!" Pan Tianyi's mother put the red lantern aside, took another lantern frame, held it in front of Pan Tianyi with her hand, and smiled slightly: "More It’s the Spring Festival in a few days! Make a few pairs of lantern embroidery and hang them up, hoping to bring good luck next year!”

"Mom! I want to learn how to make embroidered lanterns!" Pan Tianyi may be more eager to learn, with a silly smile on his face and his eyes as curved as crescent moons.

Pan Tianyi's mother was ingenious and versatile, which affected the whole family. Naturally, she was also good at hand embroidery and painting. Even Pan Tianyi's father often lends a hand, helping his mother make some lanterns to sell to the surrounding folks. No, the kitchen is filled with smoke, and Tianyi's father is adding dry firewood to the stove pot! At around the same time, Panyu opened the lid of the big pot. The pot was filled with pieces of rice paper wrapped with ropes. Panyu, wearing a military green coat and white gloves, quickly took out a long square of hot rice paper, then quickly bent the two ends into a U shape, fixed it with a rope, and took it outside to dry.

In the yard, the two siblings were learning from their mother to make lanterns. The dustpan next to them was filled with red, yellow and other colored lantern balls.

"One, two..." Pan Tian counted the number of lanterns while stacking the shapes of the lanterns enthusiastically.

The sister with a ponytail next to her, who was about fifteen years old, made a lantern easily and skillfully, and carefully put it into the basket. When she saw her brother lazily playing nearby, she suddenly became unhappy.

"Brother! Don't squash the lantern, do it quickly!"

Pan Tianyi was furious and pouted: "It's not fun, mother! I won't make lanterns anymore!"

"Okay, if you are tired, you and your sister should take a rest!" Pan Tianyi's mother looked at the two siblings and shook her head gently.

The two siblings sat on a small bench and looked at the courtyard filled with paper lanterns and other materials. My sister was bored for a moment, so she started talking about the story told by the nature teacher.

"Did you know? A long time ago, a planet exploded for some reason. The aliens living on it fled to other places in spaceships!"

"What do aliens look like?"

"It's almost like humans! The teacher didn't say that!"

"Could they have come to Earth?"

"Who knows! Maybe one day, we will encounter the sky collapse and the earth collapse, and the planet explodes..."

The conversation between the siblings was deeply engraved in Pan Tianyi's heart. Thinking about the terrifying scene of meteorites falling from the sky, he felt a little scared! From then on, Pan Tianyi had new ideas in his heart. I came into this world, is it real or an illusion? Why do I exist? Do all changes in this world center on me? If I die one day, will this world still exist? Or, everyone's world is different, and the world will not be destroyed by the death of someone...
