"The four directions above and below are called the universe, and the past and present are called the universe. I once thought that there is still a vast world outside the universe. One day, a guest suddenly arrived and brought anecdotes in a dream, saying: In the wild and wild part of the universe, there is a sphere named earth. This place A pagoda was built for practitioners to communicate with each other, so this star was removed or moved."
The general explanation of what is described in the ancient book is: One day, Wu Chengen was writing when a guest came to visit him. The guest said that he had a dream.
There are two perspectives, one is Wu Chengen himself, and the other is the mysterious guest.
Through a few strokes, he depicts a wonderful dream story. He uses the technique of combining virtuality and reality, with two lines running in parallel, making it unclear whether it is a dream or reality.
It's fascinating, and one can't help but indulge in it, wandering into the world he weaves.
Qi Xueqing and others were quickly attracted by this story, with a look of surprise on their faces, especially the words mentioned in the ancient books.
It seems to be talking about the earth, which is a bit beyond that era, and it can't help but make people feel a sense of violation. This level of knowledge should not appear in the society at that time.
There was an illusion in the trance, as if he was watching some modern cultivator, Qi Xueqing spoke with some uncertainty.
"It mentions the earth and the pagoda? The pagoda actually means the same as the signal tower, the liaison between Fang Boni practitioners? Was there such an avant-garde concept at that time?"
Not only him, but also Wei Zhong and several old scholars looked surprised and confused.
"Logically speaking, there should be no such word as earth at that time. It should be just a coincidence!"
"And the practitioners mentioned in the story, should they be immortals or capable strangers? They want to build pagodas for communication. Did the ancient people already have such rich imaginations?"
You must know that the concept of telephone only existed in Europe in the 18th century, which was used to facilitate communication and contact between people.
Wu Chengen was from the Ming Dynasty, and this advanced concept was simply far ahead of the world.
Most importantly, because this pagoda was to be built, the earth was to be demolished!
It’s so imaginative, it’s simply breathtaking!
"The content in the ancient books indicates that this story was brought by a mysterious guest. Is this guest a fabrication by Wu Chengen, or does he actually exist?"
"If it was Wu Chengen's fabrication, there would be no need to go to such trouble. Wouldn't it be more convenient to create directly from the first person perspective and save so many twists and turns?"
"But if there really is such a person, and Wu Chengen learned about it from him and was inspired to write this short story, who could he be?"
"It's really unimaginable!"
According to historical records, "The Legend of Yu and the Cauldron" is a collection of short stories created by Wu Chengen. It tells the story of Dayu's Baoding, but it is composed of many different short stories.
The ancient books they discovered should only be one of them.
I don’t know whether it was because of the incompleteness of the pages or because the author had not completed the rest of the creative content. The translation stopped abruptly in the middle of the translation. This story has no ending, but it does not affect everyone’s reading of it.
The universe depicted in the book is really breathtaking, opening the door to a new world, with gorgeous rhetoric and full of fantasy, which makes people yearn for it.
Although the article is not long, it leaves room for endless imagination. It turns out that someone can actually use words as a pen to create vivid pictures.
"Why is it not finished? Or is it that the records in the ancient books are not complete."
It's as if the update suddenly stopped in the middle of the update, which makes people restless.
The ancient book does not have a clear ending at the end, so everyone does not know the final direction of the story, but this does not hinder their guessing.
"I used to think that the ancients were limited and restricted by their environment, and their vision was limited. But now after reading this article, I realize that their thoughts were so grand."
"Yes, judging from the contents of this ancient book, their wild and unconstrained ideas about the universe are even beyond those of modern people. It is really incredible."
"The combination of fantasy and science fiction seems inexplicably absurd, but it is also strangely harmonious. I have to admire Mr. Wu Cheng'en for being able to fuse the two together."
Many old scholars and professors were discussing inside, while young people like Qi Xueqing slowly left the scene, leaving space for them.
The senior student beside him couldn't help but sigh and said: "It's a pity that most of "Yuding Ji" has been lost, and we can only find a small fragment, and it still has no ending."
"If it is complete, I will definitely follow it!"
Just one of the stories is already so interesting and mind-blowing, I wonder what the other stories will be like.
Many cultural relics and treasures of Daxia have been lost in the long history. Take "Yuding Ji" as an example. This unending ancient relic was obtained with great hardships.
Qi Xueqing was very interested in the above content and even copied a copy from the teacher and then published it online.
"Yuding Ji" itself is not a historical mystery, but the content inside is full of doubts. Although later generations knew about the existence of such a book, they did not know what was recorded in it.
Now they have deciphered only a small part of it. The theory of "Earth" mentioned above was enough to shock the academic world, so it soon set off a wave of heated discussions on the Internet.
"Good guy, did I read it correctly? I woke up early in the morning. Wu Chengen mentioned the earth in it? Is it the earth I was thinking about?"
"What?! Wu Chengen wrote about the earth. Isn't today really April Fool's Day?"
"Is Liu Cixin the reincarnation of Wu Chengen?"
"I just want to know if the mysterious guest he talks about is really not a time traveler. It feels like time travel. If this can explain why such avant-garde ideas appeared at that time."
"Don't talk about it upstairs, you just have that taste, okay?"
"The mysterious time traveler brings news about the future generations! I feel like I could write a novel! Is there any literary teacher willing to give it a try?"
"It's so scary to think about it. Why is there no ending? I really want to see the ending of this book. What is the identity of the mysterious guest? Will the earth really be demolished in the end?"
Netizens were discussing the matter in full swing, and there were many conjectures about the identity of the mysterious guest mentioned by Wu Chengen. Some even speculated that this person was a time traveler, and a series of stories were derived from this.
The truth was actually explained to some netizens invisibly, but unfortunately, most people felt that this was Wu Chengen's imagination. As described in the book, it was already unclear whether it was a dream or an illusion.
Perhaps even the author himself is not clear about this.
As the popularity of this matter continues to rise, many netizens have sent private messages to Qi Xueqing, hoping that he can update the following content.
"Blogger, hurry up and update, otherwise I will send you the blade!"
"I was watching it with great enthusiasm, but the result was gone. I suggest the blogger release the entire content of "Yu Ding Ji" in one go."
Qi Xueqing also thought, but the contents of the incomplete ancient books stopped here.
Subsequently, his teacher Wei Zhong, as well as other old scholars and research professors, tried every means to trace the whereabouts of the other fragments of "Yu Ding Ji", but in the end they found nothing.
"Yu Ding Ji" has been lost for a long time. It is extremely difficult to restore it, and everyone can't help but sigh.
Wei Zhong had trouble sleeping and eating, and even discussed the matter at a dinner party with old friends he hadn't seen for many years.
Everyone laughed and joked that he was obsessed, "I said, Lao Wei, we haven't seen each other for a long time, so don't talk about your work."
"Besides, we don't understand these antique fragments or anything like that."
Wei Zhong shook his head, "You don't understand. If you read this story, you will be amazed by the author's imagination and his fantastic ideas."
He told this story at the dinner table, and everyone was silent for a while. They didn't speak for a long time, and there were gleams of surprise in their eyes.
"It's really beyond our expectation that there is such a thing."
One of the middle-aged men had a glimmer of interest in his eyes, and he listened very seriously...
…
In the deep universe, the magnificent Milky Way stars twinkled. They danced happily under the black curtain. One of the azure planets exuded a strong breath of life.
The space station was docked at the ground base, and the staff were carrying out their daily work in an orderly manner. During the break, the middle-aged man looked at the glass window, his eyes a little dazed.
The colleague next to him patted him on the shoulder, "Lao Li, what are you thinking about, so absorbed?"
This middle-aged man is Wei Zhong’s old classmate Li Yuan.
"It's nothing. I had dinner with an old classmate during the holiday and heard an interesting story from him."
After that, Li Yuan talked about what Wei Zhong said at the dinner.
Everyone is familiar with the name Wu Chengen, but they didn't expect that he would actually write such a short story.
"Is this really written by Wu Cheng'en? The one who wrote Journey to the West? Could it have been forged by a modern person?"
Li Yuan smiled and said, "My old classmate specializes in this. There is absolutely no mistake."
"That's really strange. This is the first time I've heard such a fresh story."
"The universe has built a pagoda for communication. It's really interesting."
"We even have to dismantle the earth in order to build a signal base station. Are these gods so interesting?"
Although everyone was surprised, they didn't take it to heart. After all, it was just a story.
Although this story is very bizarre and outrageous.
Li Yuan's eyes fell on the space station shot displayed on the big screen. He saw that the universe was as dark as ever, with most of the area shrouded in black.
Compared to this, the space station looks like a slow crawling firefly.
"Old Li, do you think there will be life on other planets? Are there really some cultivating civilizations that plan to demolish the earth?"
"Okay, stop thinking nonsense. If such a thing really happened, the space station would have detected it long ago. We have not found the pagoda for so many years! The Voyager is almost out of the solar system!"
Humanity has never stopped exploring the universe. The universe is vast and has too many mysteries waiting for them to discover.
The history of the earth is long, thousands of years have passed, but in terms of the eternal universe, it is just a blink of an eye.
…
For Ye Qin, the vast universe is not the target of his exploration for the time being. There is nothing he wants there, but that dream made him a little dazed, so much so that he was still thinking about it even after he was separated from the fragments of time. .
And Ye Qin didn't know that Wu Chengen recorded this and included it in "Yu Ding Ji", which triggered a series of associations about this matter.
His sight fell not far away, where the vast lake swayed gently, with shimmering water and ripples, like a piece of silk fluttering in the wind.
In a daze, he saw the familiar dilapidated thatched house again. The young man was writing furiously on the desk, vowing to make his name spread through the ages. In fact, he did it.
Even this lake is remembered by future generations because of his existence.
Wu Chengen also said that he would write a story with Jiaolong as the protagonist. I wonder if he will retain his shadow in the subsequent story?
For a moment, Ye Qin's thoughts were wandering, and the breeze was blowing on the lake. His thoughts traveled through the long river of history. Things are still the same, but the people who used to be are no longer there.
The feeling of changes in the world came to Ye Qin's heart, which made him sigh with emotion, and he inadvertently thought of Longyuan Mountain.
"I don't know what happened to those little demons after being away for so long."
"Maybe it's time to go back."
Just like a person who has traveled far away from home, he will eventually return to his hometown. He cannot wander away forever. No matter how good the scenery outside is, the most beautiful thing is his hometown.
Experiencing in the world of mortals is a way of cultivation for Ye Qin. Returning to Longyuan Mountain can also temporarily calm his mind. After all, he cannot always be immersed in the world of mortals.
Now that Ye Qin has completed his training and successfully transformed into a dragon, his soul has also reached the third realm, so he is not in a hurry to advance to the next realm.
"Roar!"
Accompanied by the roar of the strange creature, a strong wind suddenly blew on the lake, causing ripples in the lake water. Among the countless ripples, a long green object could be vaguely seen rising into the sky and flying into the blue sky.
Perhaps it was because of this fragment of mottled years that Ye Qin dreamed of traveling around the universe, which also allowed him to understand something.
For example, the dragon has its own magical power - flying!
It's just that at the beginning, Ye Qin did not survive the tribulation after turning into a dragon. He still had many flaws and defects, so his magical powers were incomplete and he was unable to practice.
But this time, Mottled Years and his party made him realize this magical power in advance by some strange combination of circumstances.
Now, although Ye Qin's flight speed, time, and altitude are limited, he can at least be considered capable of flying and can fly for a few hours.
The next step is to be able to soar into the clouds and ride on the mist, but unfortunately it is still a little short of the mark.
And as Ye Qin left, Lei Yun, who had been saving up, was naturally eager to give it a try.
The sky, which had been bright and sunny just now, suddenly became gloomy at this moment. A large group of dark clouds hovered over Sheyang Lake, as if thick ink had been spilled, so that the lake turned dark green.
Someone was attracted by the movement here, and saw the dark clouds in the sky traveling very fast, as if they were holding something, leaving an afterimage in the air, and the speed was incredible.
"Strange, did you hear any noise just now?"
"Maybe you heard it wrong."
"The weather was so weird just now. The sky suddenly became gloomy. I thought it was going to rain."
"Our area is like this. Sometimes it rains and the sun shines at the same time. You just get used to it."
As the dark clouds left, the sun fell on the ground again. It seemed that the dark clouds they just saw were just people's illusions. Everyone talked about it but didn't take it to heart. After all, they didn't see anything except dark clouds.
…
this day.
At the foot of Longyuan Mountain, the excitement was extremely lively. Red silk was spread from the village chief's house to the entrance of the village, and the sound of crackling firecrackers was endless.
It turns out that the village chief's son is getting married today and is about to marry the bride.
Due to the village chief's highly respected status and his contribution to the village, everyone in the village came to help.
The word "happy" is posted all over the village for good luck and luck.
The village chief also hosted a banquet for the whole village and set up dozens of banquet tables. Since there were so many people attending, he simply moved the banquet to near the foot of the mountain, which was considered auspicious.
Firstly, the venue here is large and can accommodate many guests. Secondly, the village chief also hopes that the newlyweds can get married under the witness of the mountain god.
During the recent period, Longyuan Mountain has been very quiet, with no outsiders disturbing it.
Since the mountain god ceremony last year, the mountain god has not appeared for more than a year, including those magical animals, which suddenly disappeared without a trace.
Sometimes the villagers look at the vast mountains. The lush trees on the mountains are like green emeralds, embedded in the deep forest, full of endless mystery. Everything that happened in the past is their illusion.
The mountains are a world of their own, uncontaminated by the worldly world. The villagers are full of curiosity, but they are afraid of disturbing the mountain gods, so they dare not rush up to spy.
The village chief, wearing a red Chinese-style gown, welcomed everyone. Next to him were his son and his new wife. They both looked upright and could be considered a perfect match.
The people in the village are honest, so Western weddings are not popular. They still follow the traditional way and include many local customs.
"People are in high spirits during happy events. Village chief, you look like you are more than ten years younger now."
Facing the congratulations from everyone, the village chief couldn't help but smile, "Thanks to the blessing of the mountain god."
As the spiritual energy around Longyuan Mountain increases day by day, the health of the villagers also continues to improve. Although the village chief is old, he looks like he is only in his forties or fifties.
"Congratulations to the village chief. Today, I finally got my son a wife. It's not a big deal, but I'm worried about my grandson."
The village chief was even more happy when he heard this, "Then let me lend you some good advice. Everyone must eat well and drink well today. Don't be polite to me."
At the banquet, there were all kinds of cured fish and meat, and the dishes were filled to the brim, which was a great honor.
Everyone gathered together, and the laughter and laughter floated at the foot of the mountain. Even the green leaves next to it were stained with joy, fluttering in the wind, and swaying their bodies.
The village chief, his son and his wife were toasting table after table. His face was red from drinking, but he had a good drink capacity. Although his cheeks were red, his eyes were clear and clear, without any hint of drunkenness.
Just when everyone was enjoying their drink, the sky suddenly became gloomy without any warning, and a gust of wind suddenly blew, causing the flowers on the new daughter-in-law's chest to sway.
Everyone's expressions changed slightly, and they looked up at the sky, "What's going on? Why did it become cloudy all of a sudden?"
"It won't rain soon."
"Ah, what if it rains on this special day?"
The person next to him wanted to say something, but the villager next to him pulled his sleeves, winked and said, "Stop talking."
I saw that the originally blue sky was blocked by ink, and even the sunlight disappeared.
The village chief was a little anxious, "It's impossible. I picked several days and specially hired people to do it, and the weather has been good these days."
Such a sudden change made everyone feel a little uneasy, not to mention that it was a good day chosen by the village chief.
In rural areas, there is inevitably some superstition and they think this is some kind of bad sign.
The new daughter-in-law's expression changed all of a sudden. This would make people talk behind her back, and it would be bad if she was said to be from the Koff family. (End of chapter)
