"Foreigners know everything, so what they say must be right? Song Qianjin, don't let them fool you."
Yue Guanchao looked back at Song Siyuan. When this woman talked about science, she became more energetic.
"We must be skeptical about any theory, thought or doctrine. We cannot believe everything that foreigners say, but we cannot disbelieve it. What I say is the result of practical demonstration."
Song Siyuan knew that it was too difficult to explain modern science to these people. They were probably confused about Edison, Bell, and Siemens, so she decided to change it to a more understandable explanation:
"As early as a hundred years ago, our Bai religion insurgents were still practicing invulnerable magical skills, and even believed that the gods, Buddhas and bodhisattvas in the sky would appear. However, Westerners have completely abandoned theology and plunged into the ocean of science."
"In the past two hundred years, they have treated science with bold assumptions, careful practice, doubts and verifications, and elimination of falsehoods while retaining truth. They have already turned scientific ideas into industrial innovations and driven explosive progress in technology. This period also produced more advanced humanistic academic ideas. As long as science is used Armed with knowledge, people will have fewer questions about the world, and it will be easier to understand some mysterious and unknown things."
When Yue Qingshan heard her say that foreigners don't believe in God, he said in a panic: "Daughter, foreigners don't believe in their own God, so how can the foreign God bless them? Isn't this treason? Even God doesn't believe in it. But it’s okay.”
Yue Qingshan's words made Song Siyuan chuckle: "Second Uncle Yue, foreigners have long known that the earth is spherical, and it is just an insignificant planet among the billions of star systems in the universe. They know that there is no God, let alone God. .”
"How do they know there is no God?"
Xu Xiake’s ultimate dream of cultivating Taoism is to seek immortality. Even God is gone, so why should he cultivate?
Song Siyuan knew why Xu Xiake was so sensitive about this, but she still needed to understand something: "I heard that Ford can build a civil aviation aircraft this year, carrying twelve passengers into the sky and flying through the clouds. They I didn't see any heaven, let alone God, only the endless sea of clouds and the blue sky. Of course, foreigners just abandoned theological thinking and still had religious beliefs. I told you before that their religious beliefs have been attributed to a culture of psychological healing. "
"Their world is completely different from what we have seen. I believe that one day, this land will get rid of ignorance and rise to the top!"
"Did you hear that? Brother Xu, you are cultivating immortality. What is the use of cultivating it?"
Yue Guanchao's words made Xu Xiake's brows jump and he quickly recited a few lines of Infinite Heavenly Lord.
The banter and noise of a few people continued to dispel the anguish of heading towards the underground palace. As they were talking, the calf had already pulled them into the depths of the cave. The stream under their feet gradually deepened, forming an underground river, and wide banks began to appear.
"Drive~"
Yue Guanchao slapped the horse's back and asked the bullock cart to go up the river bank. He continued to walk through the Waiwei cave for a while. Not only did the temperature gradually get colder, but the river also split into several channels at some point and merged into different caves. Waiting for the calf to cross the last one Shi Qiong has reached the end of the underground river.
"We're here, get off the car."
Yue Guanchao got off the carriage and stood on the river bank. He could see that the river was constantly cutting deeper, and the rushing flow was tumbling forward. This state meant that the front was definitely not a parallel river on the ground, but most likely a deep pit or a waterfall.
"Mei Yao, be careful."
Song Siyuan couldn't wait to find the truth. She got off the carriage and picked up a flashlight to look around. When she walked near the stone dome, the cave began to be covered with a kind of fine vines. It was like entering a Pansi Cave. She had to avoid the vines to avoid being entangled by them. superior.
"What the hell is this?"
Yue Guanchao picked up the flashlight and carefully observed the vines hanging at the entrance of the cave:
This thing is about the same thickness as a hemp rope. Its surface is rough and uneven, shaped like the cracked palm prints of an old man. Its surface is covered with dark green, gray and black mottled colors. It has a metallic luster on the surface, just like bronze that has been rusted for thousands of years. There are very few roots, and they are covered with large and small spikes similar to water chestnuts and sea buckthorn. Most of them extend from the top of the cave to the bottom, as if there are thousands of ropes hanging down.
If you look closely, you can see that these triangular spikes are similar to flower buds. In addition to the sharp needles, the surface is also covered with a layer of shiny green wax liquid. This is the source of the metallic luster!
"This cave is too old, maybe it's some kind of prehistoric plant that was lucky enough to be in the cave."
After Song Siyuan finished speaking, Yue Guanchao played with the shining dagger, trying to cut off some vines and carefully observe what they were.
He never thought that when the blade was close to the vines, the thorn vines suddenly looked like snakes emerging from hibernation, raising the vines and curling towards his hand.
Yue Guanchao quickly took a few steps back with quick eyes and hands, and then he was able to deflect the cane attack.
"Be careful!"
Seeing this scene, everyone took a few steps back and waited until they were in a safe area where the canes could not attack before they felt relieved.
Song Siyuan was sure that Yue Guanchao had not been entangled, and explained with a serious face: "It seems that my guess is 80% correct. Most of these plants that can actively attack living animals have not adapted to the modern climate and are extinct. A few like ginseng and ghost beard are extinct. It’s not common to see vines or anything like that. Their ancestors should be species that were born during the divergence of plants and animals. They have existed here for at least billions of years and survived by relying on the climate in the cave.”
