Volume II: The Big Lie Chapter 37: The Prophet
First...... Know?
Qianzhou looked at the old days.
But no matter how you look at it, there is only a girl in front of her who is a little sick, and she can't see any trace of extraordinary strength at all.
Speaking of which, at first I was only concerned with chasing "rhubarb", and I only had a glimpse of the current building.
Qianzhou recalled the memory in his head: if I remember correctly, the building under his feet seemed to be in the center of Enron. And the area also seems to be the largest in Enron.
With a thought, subtle essentia spread along the ground from the feet of the thousand boats.
Like a hidden gust of wind, Qianzhou's essentia avoids everyone's perception and flows along the contours of the ground and walls, and finally constructs the general shape of the building in Qianzhou's mind.
The area of the building is quite large, and it is all made of heavy and solid stone blocks, which happen to be a square.
As for the form, if you insist on describing it, it is about "like a palace and a temple". It's rare to see ornate and intricate decorations, but every detail is perfect.
But there were very few people living in such a large palace, only a few maids who had taken care of her living in the past.
Qianzhou's perception has also reached this step. Because it's not that it's good at perception, more detailed things can't be helped.
Just when Qianzhou was thinking about how to observe this palace more closely, Former Nian took the initiative to speak: "Do you need me to show you around?"
"Ah, good. Qianzhou was stunned for a moment.
refused the support of the maid, and took the road in the past.
From the girl's brisk steps and flicking braids, you can see that the girl is feeling excited from the bottom of her heart - just that someone is willing to accompany her.
Along the stone corridor, Qianzhou and Jiang Qinghan followed the previous year from the hall to the back. Pei Xing and Jiang Xuance said they were not interested.
The corridor is not narrow, so the blue-black walls feel solemn rather than oppressive.
Lights are lit every ten meters on the walls on both sides. I don't know what the material of the lamp oil is, but there is no smoke smell in the air, but there is a faint fragrance.
Even more striking is the brightness of the candle flame β the white flame is no more than a finger long, but it illuminates the surroundings brightly.
In this bright light, the pale skin of the past is like a delicate and fragile piece of porcelain, reflecting the delicate light of enamel.
"This is where I read. "I took the two of them to the first room.
In terms of the study alone, this room is a bit too big.
It is more than 20 meters horizontally and vertically, the roof is hemispherical, and in the center hangs a lamp much larger than the hallway. It must be the same kind of lamp oil, and the white fire illuminates the whole room as if it were daytime without making people feel hot - this flame seems to have no temperature?
Along the walls of the room are several bookshelves.
The books on the shelves are not deliberately sorted, and the bamboo slips, stone carvings, and various printed books are placed randomly according to the owner's preferences - this is also a private reading room, not a library for storing books.
Directly below the lamp is a large wooden table. There are several books spread out on the wooden table, which must have been read by the owner recently, and you can also see the careful notes of the master.
Qianzhou picked up a book casually, and the words "Basic Mathematics" were printed on the cover. And the printing date is ...... Two hundred years ago?
Qianzhou flipped through several other books, all of which were related to mathematics, but the most recent one was nearly a hundred years old from now.
"Hey, I've been studying math lately. Seeing that his notes were seen, he spoke a little shyly.
"How can I say it? Qianzhou put the books down, "These books are outdated, and many theorems have been proven fallacy. β
"Is that so? Nian Nian's eyes widened dumbly, and there was a bit of frustration in his tone, "But Enron doesn't know how long it will be before outsiders come, and this is the latest book I can find." β
Seeing that the girl's mood was a little low, Jiang Qinghan hurriedly comforted: "It's okay, if you want to learn, you can let Qianzhou teach you." He had taught mathematics at the university. β
"Isn't it amazing? Nian asked curiously.
"It's amazing, and it's the highest level of school outside the university. Jiang Qinghan replied.
"Teacher Qianzhou, can you teach me?" In the past, he immediately hit the snake with the stick.
No, why did it pull me again.
Thinking of his previous experience as a tutor for junior high school students, Qianzhou had the heart to refuse.
But looking at the girl's hopeful eyes and the loneliness that was deeply hidden, Qianzhou finally didn't say the words of refusal.
"Okay, if you don't understand something, just ask me. Qianzhou agreed to come down.
Out of the room, I continued to take the two of them to visit.
Perhaps because his body was too weak, his face in the past showed a sickly flush, and a layer of fine beads of sweat hung on his forehead.
Qianzhou just wanted to say something, but Jiang Qinghan had already taken the first step to hold the hand of the previous year.
In the past, he was stunned for a moment, and seemed to be a little overwhelmed, but in the end, he didn't break free.
"Back in the day, why did they call you prophets?" Qianzhou asked the question he had been curious about for a long time.
"This one. The girl frowned a little distressedly, "I can't tell, you can see it." β
Saying that, he took the two of them to another hall.
The walls of the hall are carved with several frescoes that seem to tell a coherent story.
In the first painting, an illegible figure holds a torch and faces the darkness. As if fearful of the fire in the man's hand, the darkness receded in both directions, carving a path.
Behind the backs are countless people, and people's faces are either fearful, or awe-struck, or hopefulβall kinds of people, like all beings.
The people followed the light of the fire and walked with the man through the darkness and towards the white desert.
This is followed by the second painting.
In the dry white desert, the man raised his hand. Then the clear water of the river flowed from afar, and the white sand turned into fertile soil, and trees grew on both banks.
The next few are similar images, which seem to tell the story of the establishment of Enron.
The voice of the former explanation also came at the right time: "It seems to have been a long time ago, in a time when even history has survived. The gods disappeared without a trace, and civilization was like a lonely boat that could sink at any moment. β
"The crimson star fell from the sky and set a third of the earth on fire. β
"The verdant star brought the plague and killed a third of the people. β
"The blue star fell into the river, drying up a third of its water. β
"The survivors took up their swords and plunged them into each other's chests. β
Then a prophet appeared. He led his followers through the darkness to the desert of uninhabited white. β
"He sought out the river, found the oasis, and lit the fire in the night. The people followed him and founded the nation of Enron in the desert. β
"That prophet is my ancestor. β
Said in the past.
