Chapter 51: Two Wizards
This part of the translated content is extremely important, Wu Zhongyuan is more moved than excited at this time, he has never understood how he can return to his own past, he never expected that the wizard of his tribe would come to answer, as long as he finds the sleeping wizard and wakes him up, the wizard can send him back.
I was excited, where could I still sleep, and I pushed down overnight, and soon there was progress, "In order to ensure that we can send you back, our clan sent two wizards, the great wizard sleeps in the underground palace of our tribe, the location of the underground palace is directly south of the village where you grew up, over the three peaks, you can see a big house with a blue roof at the foot of the mountain, I judge according to the topography, the location of the underground palace was under the big house." The little wizard was at the source of the river, where there were three adjacent icebergs, and he was on the side of the iceberg on the far left, and in the middle of the night on a full moon night, the place where the moonlight shone on the iceberg, and the silvery-white light was where he slept. ’
At this time, it was almost dawn, Wu Zhongyuan didn't feel sleepy, and continued to push down, "The box in the hand of the great wizard has a pill in it, as long as you feed him that pill and take it, he will wake up." If he doesn't wait for you to pass, you can only go to the little wizard, it takes three days to wake up the little wizard, the first day is filled with very cold water, the second day is filled with warm water, the third day is filled with hot water, and a fire is lit next to him, and wait patiently for him to wake up. ’
After a sleepless night, it was time to go to class, Wu Zhongyuan went to the classroom in a daze, and at the staircase, Wang Xinran stopped him and handed over two pieces of paper, "The translation result this time is not much different from the last time, are you sure that it is us and not you who are wrong?"
Wu Zhongyuan took the two pieces of paper and walked towards the classroom.
Wang Xinran followed behind, "The headquarters invited five experts to study together, and the translation results are recognized by them, so there should be no mistakes." ”
"Hopefully. Wu Zhongyuan said casually that he was sorry for Wang Xinran at this time, because he deliberately denied the correct translation result of the other party.
I stayed up very hard in the morning, and I was groggy, if I didn't know qigong and strong spirits, I was afraid that I would have slept in class.
I took a nap at noon, and I was a little energetic in the afternoon, but I was still sluggish and yawned.
"What did you do last night?" Zhao Ying asked.
"I checked the information. Wu Zhongyuan said that the ultimate purpose of lying is to make the other party believe, and rationality must be put first, and he said that after playing a game, Zhao Ying will definitely not believe it.
Zhao Ying guessed what Wu Zhongyuan was investigating, and asked in a low voice, "Is there any progress?"
Wu Zhongyuan shook his head and sighed.
The lack of energy caused by lack of sleep is very similar to the discouragement and depression caused by futility, Zhao Ying believed it and did not ask again.
finally stayed up until school in the afternoon, Zhao Ying stopped Wu Zhongyuan, who wanted to go back to the dormitory, "I want to talk to you." ”
Wu Zhongyuan was anxious to continue to push forward, how could he have the heart to talk to her, but since Zhao Ying proposed it, it was inconvenient to refuse immediately, "What are you talking about?"
Zhao Ying didn't answer immediately, but discussed, "Let's go out for a walk." ”
Wu Zhongyuan thought about it, nodded in agreement, the two strolled out of the school gate, to the west, there are many coffee shops at the school gate, Zhao Ying chose a better environment, the two sat down by the window on the second floor, and ordered coffee.
"Have you thought about it?" Zhao Ying looked directly at Wu Zhongyuan.
"What do you mean?" Wu Zhongyuan asked rhetorically.
Zhao Ying did not answer Wu Zhongyuan's question, "The translation they gave you this time is likely to be correct." ”
Wu Zhongyuan didn't answer, Zhao Ying said this, undoubtedly seeing that Wang Xinran gave him two pieces of paper from the staircase during the day.
"You have an old Chinese saying, people don't stand without faith," Zhao Ying stirred the coffee with a spoon, "We may not be good people, but we are true to our word." ”
"Are you not Chinese?" Wu Zhongyuan asked casually.
Zhao Ying is very smart, hearing Wu Zhongyuan say this, she knew that her previous statement had aroused Wu Zhongyuan's disgust, and said with a smile, "If you follow the bloodline, I am." If by nationality, then I'm not. ”
Wu Zhongyuan did not answer.
"Have you thought about it?" Zhao Ying asked.
Wu Zhongyuan still didn't answer, in fact, he already knew what Zhao Ying's question was referring to, Zhao Ying and Wang Xinran both knew that he had been thinking about who to cooperate with during this time, and today Zhao Ying saw that Wang Xinran handed him the translation results, guessing that he would take action soon, so he wanted to know his next step.
Seeing Wu Zhongyuan's hesitation, Zhao Ying was not surprised, "Do you think they will allow you to do things that may endanger national security?"
Wu Zhongyuan did not answer.
"Have you ever heard of the butterfly effect?" asked Zhao Ying.
"A butterfly in the rainforest of the Amazon basin with an occasional flap of its wings could cause a tornado in Texas two weeks later. Wu Zhongyuan said.
Zhao Ying nodded, "It's not just you and me who know this theory, they also know." ”
Wu Zhongyuan smiled, Zhao Ying's implication was that if he returned, what he did might have unpredictable and uncontrollable potential effects on modern society, which was absolutely not allowed by the state.
"You should know I'm not denigrating them. Zhao Ying said.
"I know this," Wu Zhongyuan nodded, "but Hegel once said that existence is reasonable, everything that is rational is realistic, everything that is realistic is rational, have you ever thought that if I really go back, it means that it is reasonable for me to go back, no matter what I do in ancient times, it will not have an impact on modern society." ”
"It's just an unproven hypothesis. Zhao Ying said.
Wu Zhongyuan shook his head, "This is not an unproven hypothesis, this is a theory that has not been denied. I don't belong here, and if I should go back and don't, it might have an impact on the real world."
"You can convince me, but can you convince them?" Zhao Ying asked with a smile, "Do they dare to take this risk?"
Wu Zhongyuan did not answer.
Zhao Ying didn't rush either, because she knew that Wu Zhongyuan was thinking.
After a while, Wu Zhongyuan shook his head, "No, I can't cooperate with you." ”
Zhao Ying didn't seem surprised, and took a sip of coffee, "Reason?"
"What you want to get from me are examples and specific data of genes and space-time, if you master some kind of genetic modification and space-time manipulation technology, you will definitely use it against China, if I cooperate with you, it will essentially be a traitor. Wu Zhongyuan said.
"As you said, you don't belong here. Zhao Ying said.
"That's not going to work either. Wu Zhongyuan Zhengse said, in all fairness, he may not be fanatical patriotic, but let him betray his own nation, he will never do it, this is the bottom limit of being a man.
"What if they stop you from going back?" Zhao Ying asked.
Wu Zhongyuan didn't answer, picked up the coffee cup and drank all the coffee inside, raised his hand to summon the waiter, and asked for another cup.
"Do you think they'll stop you from going back?" Zhao Ying asked.
Wu Zhongyuan did not answer.
Zhao Ying asked this question, and she didn't need Wu Zhongyuan to answer, her purpose was just to remind Wu Zhongyuan that the official would never allow him to go back.
"My mentor once said that the biggest proposition in life is to think clearly about your responsibilities and missions, have you thought clearly?" Zhao Ying asked again.
"Which university did you graduate from?" Wu Zhongyuan asked with a smile.
University of California. Zhao Ying is also honest.
"You went to school early enough. Wu Zhongyuan said.
"I was admitted to the University of California at the age of seventeen. Zhao Ying said.
"How old are you now?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.
"It's definitely bigger than you," Zhao Ying replied with a smile, and asked instead, "Do you feel that with your own strength, you can fulfill your responsibilities and missions?"
Wu Zhongyuan shook his head, "It's hard, but I want to give it a try." ”
"Will you cooperate with them?" asked Zhao Ying.
Wu Zhongyuan shook his head again, "Definitely not, but I don't want to cooperate with you either." ”
"Assuming you can't do it independently, will you choose to give up your mission and stay here, or will you choose to work with us to go back in time to complete your mission?" Zhao Ying asked again.
Wu Zhongyuan thought for a while and said, "Existence is reasonable, if that day really comes, I think I will make a choice." ”
Zhao Ying nodded.
Wu Zhongyuan doesn't know how to drink coffee, everyone is sipping, he drank it in a big gulp, and when the second cup of coffee was delivered, he also drank it in one gulp, and then stood up, "I'll go first, you settle the bill." ”
"A gentleman won't let a lady pay the bill," Zhao Ying said with a smile, "You're a millionaire now, and you can't even afford to invite me to a cup of coffee?"
Wu Zhongyuan smiled and tilted his head to look at Zhao Ying, "You guys are quite scary." ”
"You think they don't know?" Zhao Ying asked.
Wu Zhongyuan naturally knew that Zhao Ying was referring to Wang Xinran and others, "You are all quite scary, I'd better stay away from you." ”
"If you make further moves, do you think they will let you do what you want?" Zhao Ying asked.
Wu Zhongyuan did not answer.
"I'm not alarmist, if you don't cooperate with us, your safety will be difficult to guarantee. Zhao Ying said.
Wu Zhongyuan glanced at Zhao Ying.
Zhao Ying "repaid the grievances with virtue", smiled back, and then raised her hand to summon the waiter, paid the bill, and gave a tip, it may be the difference between the East and the West, she has always had the habit of tipping.
"I won't rush you," Zhao Ying walked downstairs first, "If there is anything I can do, you just ask." ”
"I'm not sure I'll give you anything back. Wu Zhongyuan said.
"I know, but I just want to further prove our sincerity. Zhao Ying said.
Wu Zhongyuan nodded.
Back in the dormitory, Wu Zhongyuan did not push down, but read the translation compiled last night again, according to Wu Chai's statement, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, the tribe sent two wizards to answer, with the response does not seem to be very accurate, to be precise, it is sleeping and waiting, these two wizards are not actually the difference between big and small, but the difference between the first choice and the spare, the first choice is the one in Huangxian, after Wu Chai came to the modern era, he stayed nearby for a period of time, and has helped him determine the specific location of the underground palace, if things go well enough, as long as he goes to the underground palace to wake up the wizard can go back。
If this preferred wizard has an accident, he can only choose to wake up the alternate wizard, the river that Wu Chai said is the current Yellow River, the Yellow River is the current name, and it was the river before. The Yangtze River is also the current name, and it was the river before. The rivers in the ancient mouths did not refer to the rivers in general, but specifically to the Yangtze River and the Yellow River.
The backup wizard is at the source of the Yellow River, but this source is not the source that modern people think, modern times have high-tech means, satellites, and can be judged accurately and concretely, but there are no such things in ancient times, and the source they think is definitely not the same place as modern times, but the advantage is that Wu Chai mentioned that there are three icebergs near the source, and it may also be snow-capped mountains, which is a very important reference.
After drinking two cups of coffee before, now that he has the spirit, Wu Zhongyuan continued to sort it out, Wu Chai then mentioned the way to recognize the big wizard and the little wizard, the big wizard can check the bloodline, as long as the big wizard is awakened, the big wizard himself can determine his identity, but the little wizard can't, he needs to hold the token, and the token is the stone that Wu Chai gave him before, Wu Chai called it a divine stone.
If the content that was compiled before made Wu Zhongyuan excited, the content that followed made Wu Zhongyuan nervous, because according to Wu Chai, not only were his people looking for him, but his enemies were also looking for him......
