Chapter 121: Thousand-Year Ancestral Land
The Chinese view of numbers is generally magical.
Most of them are imaginary numbers.
What does that mean?
To put it simply, numbers don't mean what they mean.
Taoism has clouds: Tao begets one, one begets two, two begets three, and three begets all things. If you look at it from here, you will understand that the numbers 'three' and 'nine' represent infinity.
And the number of the often said Dayan uses its four nine, and the one that escapes also means this.
Forty-nine also represents the meaning of infinity, and together with the final Tao, it means perfection.
These things are too profound, although they were invented by the Chinese, but the people who have studied this thing for thousands of years do not know how many, but no one dares to say that they have studied this thing thoroughly. Even the more you study, the more fancy it becomes, and in recent years, even hexadecimal, twelve, binary, and so on have been related to Chinese Taoism.
As for whether it is true, Xing Jie has not studied it and is not very clear. But I've watched some documentaries, and there is a hint of truth in what I said.
"Brother Jie, do you mean that the mechanism here is designed according to Chinese Taoist theory?"
"I don't dare to say that, I just think it's very similar, and I can't say that it completely follows Taoist theory. After all, more than 2,000 years ago, there was no such thing as Taoism, and some were only Taoists, and Taoism was only one of the hundred sons in the pre-Qin period. And not to mention the academic ones that were born by adopting similar theories to Taoism, there are only very famous ones such as soldiers, Mohists, legalists, yin and yang schools, and so on. Starting from Xuanyuan and then the Xia, Shang and Three Dynasties, there are three thousand years in a row, and in this three thousand years of history, Lianshan, Guizang, and Zhou Yi are basically the core ideas of people at that time. Because of this inheritance, although the controversy of the hundred schools of thought in the pre-Qin period was very strong, the core basic theories of each school were basically not much different!"
Looking at the raised altar, Biaozi and Rahman were actually a little dazed in their hearts.
They couldn't understand why such an organ appeared, and what kind of great numbers did Xing Jie instill in them at the beginning, the one who escaped, what were these things?
Biaozi is a little better, at least when I was in China, I watched the Internet, and these two words are basically all fantasy in the must-have of pretending to be forced to slap the face, so I am still relatively familiar, but I just know it. And Central Asians like Rahman can't even understand what is in their own green classics, let alone such an extremely esoteric philosophical vocabulary?
However, what do these organs mean and why they appear here, Xing Jie and the three of them said that these are not important.
What matters is what exactly is in this second layer?
Unexpectedly, the entire Kushan Empire did not hesitate to use half of the treasury of gold as a cover!
Since the altar is raised, then there is nothing to say.
Once the scepter is plugged in, just wait for it to be opened.
The next scene made Xing Jie a little speechless, because when the mechanism was opened, it perfectly reproduced a passage from Tao Yuanming's "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring".
At the beginning, it was extremely narrow, and only then did it pass people, and it was dozens of steps back, and it suddenly became clear!
However, it was indeed quite open-minded, and it suddenly opened to the point that Xing Jie and the three of them were shocked.
How big can a dungeon be?
This is not easy to say, as far as Xing Jie's current experience is concerned, the deepest is the D2 desert ruins. The biggest one is the ruins of the Lop Nur Underground Palace, but it's hard to say, after all, she is just a broken temple, and the underground space is owned by nature itself, so it can't be counted. As for the rest, like the ruins of Houzang Snow Mountain, the ruins of Meilin Snow Mountain, and the ruins of Sanbei Mountain, they are all about the same size.
But no matter how huge the dungeon is, there will not be a lake.
Even if there is a lake, there will be no oasis!
But even if you have both, it's impossible for a big sun to hang high in the sky!
Biaozi and Rahman have been completely stupid, which is completely unreasonable.
It's just that this is nothing for Xing Jie, who has experienced a higher-level illusion.
Isn't it just an oasis in the desert? Compared to the thing in the underground cave of Wu Yannaoer, which presents a triple illusion, it is a bit different. This situation is easy to deal with, if you feel scared, then just go back the way you came. Anyway, there's only an extremely narrow passage here, and you can't get lost!
There's really nothing, it's just a small scene.
After all, an illusion is an illusion, and even if it is real, it is just an illusion.
"You two listen, if you're afraid, you just quit. There won't be any danger at the point, but it's hard to say what happens next, as it's a fairly real illusion. ”
"What's the danger?"
"If you're not careful, you'll be completely lost here. If you lose yourself, you will take what is happening here as real. At that point, you'll find out that there's a saying in The Matrix that says the truth. ”
"Jie, don't sell it, if you have something to say, hurry up. ”
"If the brain thinks you're dead, then you're really dead!"
Xing Jie was not joking with this sentence.
At that time, although everyone came out of the underground karst cave of Wu Yannaoer safely, they basically recuperated at home for a while. That kind of scene is too brain-burning, let alone the experiencer, even the report written by the rats is no less than the report of the severe delusional patients in the Imperial Capital Psychiatric Hospital.
As for the video, not to mention, it is comparable to Inception.
As soon as they stepped out, Xing Jie and the others had already appeared in a vast desert.
The scorching sun is high and the yellow sand is all over the sky.
Even if they kept telling themselves that these were all illusory, the sweat of Biaozi and Rahman instantly wet their cotton shirts, and they unconsciously began to shade the sun with their hands and look around.
Bai told them that he was too self-conscious, and he suddenly fell into the point where I see me as me.
In this case, to put it simply, these two people are too self-conscious, in their subconscious, their own cognition is the most correct, if they can still analyze it through careful judgment in ordinary times, then they can forcibly get rid of the illusion, but once they enter the confrontation at the subconscious level, they directly subconsciously exclude Xing Jie's reminder.
In this case, even if Xing Jie told them the real situation, even if they suddenly realized, they would resist from their subconscious.
Therefore, in this illusion, the two of them may be quite dangerous.
This is because the body's functions are directly influenced by the brain.
There's an oasis ahead, and when you get there, you'll be able to keep the two of them alive. Only when they are in the oasis can they let Biao Zi and Rahman forcibly hypnotize themselves and forcibly change their subconscious, so that they can survive! Xing Jie shrugged his shoulders, quite helpless about this.
I'm afraid this is a higher level of Wangmei to quench your thirst.
I have to thank the designer of this illusion, if it weren't for showing the general scene in this desert in advance, Xing Jie and the three of them would be mentally prepared. In addition, both of them have lived near Turkmenistan Abad for a long time, and they also have their own knacks for surviving in the desert, and they can still hold on for a while.
Otherwise, the two of them can be said to be dead.
……
"Why do I look so familiar with the surroundings of this oasis?" said Biaozi, standing on a sand dune and looking down into the distance.
"Well, I think you'd better take a look at the lake, isn't that the sacrificial place of the Kushan Empire?" said Rahman, looking at the map.
It is indeed a good match, and the match is so consistent that it makes people panic.
In this fantasy realm, the place of sacrifice of the Kushan Empire turned out to be a lake?
What did those people of the Otsuki clan do back then, deliberately draining a lake in order to build a city?
There's something wrong with that, right?
