Chapter 95: Good and false external objects are prepared for me, but seek to broaden the body and mind
Chapter Ninety-Five: Good and false external objects are all prepared for me, but seek to be physically and mentally broad
As time passed, the temperature of Mu Qian's body decreased slightly, but it was still hot. In this regard, Zhang Zechen, Lao Dao, and Lu Xiaohu were completely helpless, and Mu Qian's physical weakness was beyond their understanding.
"Look, if I find such a good thing, your compatriot will be fine. Lu Xiaohu rushed in from outside the cave, holding a white ball stained with mud in his hand, and said excitedly to Zhang Zechen.
"What is this?" Zhang Zechen's brows furrowed, although he said that it was okay, he knew in his heart that Mu Qian might be finished at any time.
"Don't underestimate it, it will take at least a few years to grow so big, this is definitely a treasure, rich in nutrients, and contains a lot of life energy. Lu Xiaohu said.
"That's right, he is injured now and wants to recover, he definitely needs energy, why didn't I think of it earlier?" Mu Qian suddenly came to his senses.
Lu Xiaohu and Lao Dao looked at each other: Are the two of you from the same civilization?
"So what now? He's in a coma again, and he can't eat. Zhang Zechen then said with a little embarrassment.
Now Lu Xiaohu and Lao Dao were just as dumbfounded: this is indeed a problem. For the three of them, a powerful life form would eat something, but it was no longer the main source of energy for their bodies.
"Simple, squeeze it into juice first, then separate his veins and pour it directly. Lu Xiaohu thought for a moment, and then said.
It doesn't matter if it's good or not, but it's the only way they can think of it. So, Lu Xiaohu got into action, and he quickly used a light knife to cut out a stone mortar, and then made a stone pestle. Then, in his brutal movements, soon the white ball turned into a bowl of milky white juice with a lot of slag.
"Slow, wouldn't it be too rude for you to separate his veins like this? Do you think his veins can withstand these things?" Seeing that Lu Xiaohu was already ready to make a move, the old knife stopped him in time.
Lu Xiaohu glanced down at the stone mortar in his hand, and fell into deep thought for a moment: With so many scum, will it block Mu Qian's blood vessels? Judging from the previous situation, his heart and blood vessels are not very strong.
After pondering, Lu Xiaohu turned his gaze to Zhang Zechen: No matter what the idea is, in the end, Zhang Zechen will take it, and the two of them are just moral help.
"We cut open his stomach and poured these things into his stomach so that his body could absorb it. Zhang Zechen thought of a new note. He knew that everything Mu Qian ate had to go through the decomposition of his stomach before entering other parts of his body.
"It's a good idea, it's much more feasible, but where is his stomach?" asked Lu Xiaohu.
Zhang Zechen stretched out his palm and sucked Mu Qian up, and then said lightly:
"In the stomach, you cut the belly first, and I can find out where the stomach is. ”
Zhang Zechen is extremely unreliable, Lu Xiaohu and Lao Dao have already seen it. Therefore, at this moment, Lu Xiaohu just shook his head helplessly, and planned to do it. In any case, it is better than ignoring it and letting Mu Qian wait here for death.
The light knife was raised, and it was about to slash across Mu Qian's belly, but Mu Qian suddenly opened his eyes. And his eyes became very sharp, like a ray of sunlight piercing the dark clouds. Although he was weak, he looked at the three Zhang Zechen in front of him with great energy.
"Brother, you're finally awake. If it's any later, they'll disembowel you. The old knife was the first to speak under great joy.
"Do you speak Earthling?" Mu Qian was a little puzzled.
"During this time, I learned a little bit. The old knife shrugged his shoulders and said.
"What's going on?" Mu Qian asked again, turning his head to Zhang Zechen.
"It's nothing, we've cooked for you to eat, but you haven't woken up, so we're just in a bit of a hurry. Zhang Zechen said lightly, and then put Mu Qian down. He looked calm, as if nothing had happened.
"Yes? That's hard work for you. Mu Qian slowly got up from the ground, he was still weak, but at least he survived, and there were some indescribable changes.
"It's not hard, it's not hard, you must be hungry, right? Lu Xiaohu handed over the stone mortar in his hand.
Mu Qian was not hungry, but very hungry, his stomach was empty, like a bottomless pit. So, after Mu Qian drank the milky white juice in his hand in a few sips, he asked again:
"Where's the food you cooked?"
"Well, the three of us ate relatively little, so our share was also drunk by you in one go. Zhang Zechen said seriously. Hearing this, Mu Qian was stunned for a moment - when did Zhang Zechen become so unserious?
Despite these episodes, Mu Qian survived. This surprised Zhang Zechen, and he unconsciously had a trace of confidence in Mu Qian. He felt that Mu Qian had undergone some subtle changes, becoming much more stable than before, and the whole person was much calmer, less extreme and stubborn.
But in fact, Mu Qian just buried what he buried in his heart, burying it deeper, maybe this is the so-called maturity.
However, no one can wake up overnight after being asleep and in a state of confusion for thousands of years. Mu Qian felt that he was awake, but he just thought he was awake.
"Thank you for saving your life, the two of us still have important things to do, so we're leaving. The old knife said suddenly. Mu Qian had already come back to life, and his life-saving grace and the two of them could be regarded as a slight return, so they planned to leave at this moment.
Zhang Zechen nodded, he was unwilling to get together with others. But Mu Qian was thoughtful in his heart, and suddenly said:
"We don't have a clear whereabouts, we just travel at will, so it's better for us to go together, and we can have a care. ”
"Well, let's be honest, we should have invited you two to take a break with us. But unfortunately, our walled city is currently under siege by barbarians, and this time the two of us came out to find another place to retreat, but unfortunately we were targeted by two barbarians, so there is the next thing. Lu Xiaohu explained.
"Barbarians, siege, if you don't dislike it, I'd love to see it. Mu Qian said with a sneer.
When Lu Xiaohu and Lao Dao heard this, they looked at Zhang Zechen, who was speechless. They felt that Mu Qian only harbored a deep hatred for barbarians because of personal emotional reasons, but he did not know about barbarians. And Zhang Zechen's vitality is very strong, he should be able to understand what it means for the barbarians to besiege the walled city, and this matter should also be up to him.
Seeing that the three people in front of him were all looking at him, Zhang Zechen snorted coldly at Mu Qian and said:
"I said it a long time ago, I will follow your arrangement, as long as you dare to do something, of course I dare, I always speak count. However, I still have to remind you one last time: if you are lucky this time, you will be lucky enough to pick up a small life, and you may not have such good luck next time. ”
"It's hard to say about luck, who can say for sure what will happen next time?Also, I didn't force you to do anything, why force yourself so much?" The expression on Mu Qian's face seemed to be a smile. Although he knew that Zhang Zechen saved him this time, this kind of thing had nothing to do with him for a long time.
"Brother Mu Qian, the barbarians' attack on the city is definitely not trivial, once the city is broken, the barbarians will sweep everything, and the chickens and dogs will not be left. And as for luck or something, it is simply nonsense among the barbarians. Lu Xiaohu said.
"Yes, you saw the perversion of the barbarians earlier. If the two of us fight alone, although we may not be the opponents of the two barbarians, we will not be defeated quickly, but when the two barbarians are united, the defeat of the two of us will only happen in an instant. Alas, the organizational paradox of the barbarians is simply a nightmare for the whole universe. The old knife sighed and added.
"And in the war of the group, the barbarians form a brutal and bloody wolf pack, and this art is brought to the extreme, and no one can be spared in front of them, so although the scale of the attack and defense of the walled city is not large, it is very tragic and dangerous. Lu Xiaohu said to Mu Qian.
"Life is a hero, death is also a ghost. Although I am just a small miscellaneous fish, I should at least have such a goal, right? I can see the organizational paradox of the barbarians in the war, whether it is a human hero or a ghost male, I think it is worth it, what do you say?" Mu Qian squinted his eyes and looked at Zhang Zechen.
"Miscellaneous fish, returning talents, ghosts, and heroes sounds interesting, so let's go and see what kind of goods you are. Zhang Zechen said lightly.
Seeing this, Lu Xiaohu and Lao Dao didn't say anything anymore, but told Mu Qian and the two of them the location of their walled city, and then the four of them rushed towards it at a gallop. Sure enough, as Mu Qian expected, the walled city that Lu Xiaohu and Lao Dao talked about was actually the Tianchen Pass he secretly wanted to go to, but Zhang Zechen didn't know it.
As the four of them made their way north, they were left behind by the dense and humid rainforest, and as they passed through a vast expanse of wilderness, they were greeted by sparse coniferous forests and vast mountains that stretched out in the distance. Tianchen Pass is located on the halfway point of a tall mountain peak deep in the mountain range, and has been run by the three brothers and sisters of Lu Xiaohu for many years.
Mu Qian and the four of them stood on top of a mountain peak, and the coniferous forest below was like a pale yellow carpet, spread flat between the vast heaven and earth. Facing the vast scene in front of him, Mu Qian couldn't help but feel excited in his heart, and couldn't help but let out a long roar.
"The sky is high and the mountains are magnificent, this is the most beautiful scenery between heaven and earth, which is why we like to stay here with the barbarians. The old knife also said excitedly.
"Isn't that the case on other planets, aren't they the same size?" Mu Qian was a little puzzled.
"On other planets, the huge cities that rise into the sky, the countless fortresses in the sky, are filled with the rotten and cold smell of steel. For those metals that rule everything, to be honest, Lao Tzu really doesn't have a good impression at all. The old knife carried the big knife, and was a little helpless between the words.
"But this is pure nature with good mountains and rivers, and even if some civilizations have developed technology, under the oppression of barbarians, technology has never overridden life. Lu Xiaohu continued.
"Then will your walled city be able to withstand the barbarian attack this time?" asked Mu Qian.
Lu Xiaohu turned to look at the mountains in the distance, where the Tianchen Pass that the three brothers and sisters had worked hard to manage was there:
"Theoretically, it was only a matter of time before any walled city was breached by the barbarians. Even if the so-called 10,000-person mark is broken, I don't think the barbarians will stop because of this. This is actually tragic, but we have to do it, we can only try to pursue some kind of process of self-transcendence like barbarians, and then in the process, baptize with blood, so as to complete the transformation of our civilization. ”
"Knowing that you can't do it, that's probably what it means, but who isn't like this?" Mu Qian sighed softly after hearing this.
"I still don't understand why you have to follow us to Tianchen Pass, with your strength, once the city is broken, it is basically impossible for you to survive. The old knife looked at Mu Qian.
"Alas, to put it simply, no one understands me, and there is no way back. Mu Qian pretended to smile freely, and then said to the three of them:
"Actually, I don't want to. If the city is really broken, you don't have to save me. Dying at the hands of barbarians might be a good option for me. ”
The three of them didn't speak again, and after they rested for a while, they used a secret passage to sneak into Tianchen Pass, where they were fighting with the barbarians.
The city is generally built of stones, standing on the mountain, large and small stone houses are uneven, scattered and orderly, with a kind of quaint nature, wild and desolate taste. As Lao Dao said, it is a part of the nature of heaven and earth, not something else embedded in it.
While feeling this harmony between heaven and earth, Mu Qian followed Lu Xiaohu up the stairs, and in his haze, he seemed to have some indescribable and inexplicable feelings. Even if the future was unpredictable, he suddenly felt that the trip was worth it, and even he had some kind of inexplicable fanatical anticipation of what was going to happen, even if it would cost him his life.
Soon, they passed through a large square in the center of Tianchen Pass, and walked past the cold fountain and the mirrored lake-like pool, and came to a hall. Two lifeforms that are very similar to Lu Xiaohu are waiting there, they are Lu Xiaohu's eldest brother Lu Xiaolong and third sister Lu Xiaofeng, and their three brothers and sisters are the controllers of this Tianchen Ao.
After some introduction, Mu Qian knew that this Tianchen Pass was actually in danger. The barbarians outside the city attacked every time they passed, and they attacked the wall outside Tianchen Pass thirty-six times a day, and this tactic had already exhausted the people in the walled city.
However, the physical strength of the barbarians is generally high, and their stamina is extremely strong, and the two thousand barbarians only need to be divided into two groups to take turns to attack Tianchen Pass.
Therefore, the destruction of Tianchen Pass has been overnight, and this gathering place of life will still be ruthlessly scattered by the barbarians after all. And Lu Xiaohu and Lao Dao went out this time, although they found another hermitage, but the current 6,000 people in this walled city, I don't know how many of them can get there alive.
After that, the three siblings of the Lu family began to hold a meeting to study their next steps. And the old knife took Mu Qian and Zhang Zechen to take advantage of this leisure time to visit the walled city on this mountain peak.
On the top of a mountain, Mu Qian, who was overlooking the beautiful scenery of the mountains and clouds in the distance, suddenly snapped his fingers twice, and then asked softly:
"Is there really not the slightest chance?"
"We've been suffering for months, it's been an incomparably long ordeal, and now we're really running out of oil, and the two thousand barbarians outside the city are the limit of this Heavenly Col. The old knife thought that Mu Qian was talking to him, so he spoke.
"The odds are zero. After the twenty-ninth charge, the walled city would be reduced to rubble and gravel. And your chances of survival are temporarily zero. That is to say, at sunrise tomorrow, everything here will cease to exist, including you. Callisto mechanically sounded in Mu Qian's ears.
"You really shouldn't have come in, it's too late to get out now. The old knife sighed at Mu Qian at this time.
"Life and death are fate. Mu Qian said indifferently. Then his gaze was fixed on the halfway up the mountain, where the siege barbarians had gathered their stronghold, and where more than a thousand barbarians had gathered.
"Life and death? To tell you the truth, Lao Tzu was also majestic when he was young, and he once killed a barbarian alone, which was the most glorious moment of my life, and now I still feel excited when I think about it. The old knife said proudly.
Mu Qian smiled, this was indeed an honor. Thinking that now that only two thousand barbarians are about to break through the city of six thousand, it is really not easy to be able to kill one barbarian alone.
"Tell you, the barbarian's corpse is here at the moment, and I have kept it well, and whenever I feel that I can't breathe under the pressure of the barbarians, I will take a look at it......" The old knife continued.
But what Lao Dao never expected was that after hearing his words, Mu Qian suddenly became short of breath, his face was red, and his eyes like a beast were staring at Lao Dao.
Feeling Mu Qian's violent heartbeat and blazing eyes, Lao Dao asked suspiciously:
"What's wrong with you?"
"Ahem, it's nothing, I just didn't think that Brother Dao would be able to kill a barbarian, it's so surprising. Mu Qian coughed lightly, and then pretended to be nonchalant. But Lao Dao and Zhang Zechen could see that there were many things hidden in Mu Qian's heart.
"Actually, it's nothing, it's true that barbarians are powerful, but there are also very powerful beings in other civilizations here, and barbarians will also be hunted by other civilizations. The old knife smiled lightly, and then asked with a playful smile:
"Do you want to see the barbarian's corpse?"
"Well, it's okay, let's go and pay tribute to the great achievements of Brother Lao Dao. Mu Qian said to Zhang Zechen.
"What a clumsy way you disguise yourself. But luckily, they don't actually take you as a little person seriously, and they don't have any interest in talking to you. When Lao Dao took Mu Qian and Zhang Zechen to visit the barbarian's body, the voice of Ganymede sounded in Mu Qian's ears.
A subtle sneer crossed the corner of Mu Qian's mouth: Self-cover-up? What is there to hide? Sooner or later, I will not take care of anyone, and I will not care about anyone. I can say whatever I want, do whatever I want – that's the new way I want to live.
However, when Mu Qian really saw the corpse of a barbarian placed in front of him, his heart beat uncontrollably. His eyes were not at all like seeing a corpse, but like a hungry man seeing a table of hearty food, a man full of lust seeing a naked beauty, a gluttonous and fanatical desire that could no longer be concealed and suppressed.
Lao Dao didn't understand Mu Qian's emotional state at the moment, but as Ganymede said, he didn't care what Mu Qian was thinking. Anyway, as long as someone appreciates and praises his great deeds, it is enough. Mu Qian's appearance at this moment gave Lao Dao a great sense of pride in his heart:
"I think when I was very young, when I was empty-eyed, where would I put a barbarian in my eyes? I happened to meet a barbarian, then I went up and him......"
"The good man doesn't mention the courage of the year, and you're bragging about your again? Are you planning to blow for the rest of your life?" a soft and elegant voice came out. Lu Xiaohu and Lu Xiaofeng, two brothers and sisters, came to this stone house at some point, and it was Lu Xiaofeng who spoke.
"What's wrong with me just blowing for the rest of my life? Do you have any blowing?" said to Lu Xiaofeng with the old knife rolling his eyes.
"Yes, yes, you can always brag as much as you want, and you don't have anything to brag about other than this. Lu Xiaofeng was not to be outdone, and responded to the old knife with a joking mockery.
The old knife only smiled, and then looked at Mu Qian and Zhang Zechen without saying a word. The next attack of the barbarians is about to begin, and according to the rules here, anyone who enters the walled city is obliged to participate in the defense of the walled city. This is also the meaning of the existence of these walled cities, a kind of union and blending between different civilizations under the oppression of barbarians.
"You stay here, I'll go out for a while. Zhang Zechen said lightly to Mu Qian, and then walked out with Lao Dao and Lu Xiaofeng. He and Mu Qian came here, so at least one of them had to participate in the defense of the city.
Mu Qian's original intention was to see what the group activities of the barbarians were like, and how rebellious the organizational paradox was, but he didn't care about these at the moment, and naturally he didn't notice what Zhang Zechen, Lao Dao, and Lu Xiaofeng said. He just stared at the barbarian corpse in front of him in despair, and his whole mind was occupied by it.
After realizing that Zhang Zechen and the three of them had left, Mu Qian snapped his fingers lightly, and a small silver-white ball rolled out of nowhere and began to roll around the barbarian's corpse.
"Wow, you can't imagine how perverted the body of a savage is, it's a finely crafted, immaculate work of art. As an artificial intelligence, Callisto actually made such an exclamation.
"Be clear. Mu Qian's voice was hoarse, and his eyes were cold.
"The corpse of this barbarian in front of you has a total of 2,426 bones, and its skeletal structure is very complex, and it is said that it is a sophisticated and complex machine, and its operating efficiency and power are unmatched by any other civilization and any life. ”
"And, according to my reasoning, the body bones of the barbarians are not certain and unchanging. At the sound of a barbarian, they will have all kinds of accidents such as injuries, and then they will reshape their bones according to the time and profit, so that it will grow a unique posture. So, no two barbarians have exactly the same body structure, just as no two leaves are exactly the same. ”
After a pause, Europa continued:
But this is not the most exaggerated, the most incredible thing is that barbarians have no heart. The vast majority of lifeforms, like you, have a heart that serves as the power center for blood exchange and energy transmission throughout the body, but this is not the case with barbarians. The blood circulation system of their whole body is a small independent system, and then forms a perfect large system, relying on the complex bone structure of the whole body to provide power. Ganymede told Mu Qian in detail about the physical condition of the barbarians it had detected, but Mu Qian couldn't understand it for a while.
"What about an independent small system, a big system?" Mu Qian couldn't help but ask.
"How? This means that the barbarians will never lose too much blood, they will never be paralyzed, they will never be completely incapacitated, and it also means that the barbarians will never lose their lives, and they may really have nine lives. Even if they were cut off and their hands and feet were chopped off, they would still survive because they could separate a separate system of the body from the whole system at any time. Europa explained. Even if he came from the quantum civilization, he didn't know about the barbarians before.
"What about the nervous system, is the brain the key to them, or do they also have no brain?" Mu Qian was extremely shocked, thinking of the Monkey King 3 armor that was still in his conception.
"The nervous system is related to the generation and evolution of living intelligence, and it is also related to the foundation of the existence of living beings themselves, which involves something from the origin of the universe, and I cannot answer you. I can only tell you that barbarians have brains, and brains are equally and probably the only ones they have. However, their brains and bodies are absolutely different from yours, which means that their so-called nervous system is much more advanced than yours. ”
Mu Qian's brows furrowed, and after thinking for a moment, he asked blankly:
"Isn't there nothing flawed in the body of a barbarian?"
"Of course, everything is flawed, broken and broken from a macro point of view, and it is only in the absolute microcosm that there can be perfection. Ganymede said.
"So, no life can be perfect, is that what it means?So, what are the loopholes and flaws of the barbarians?" Mu Qian said and let out a sneer, as he suddenly felt that everything on the macro level was sad. In other words, life itself hides an innate element of sorrow and ruin.
"The flaws of the barbarians are only relative, and they can compensate for them. At least for you, there is no fault in a barbarian, and even if a barbarian puts all his flaws in front of you, you can't do anything about it, and that's the reality you have to recognize. Europa said softly, his mechanical voice slowing down at this moment.
"Fake external objects are only a means, and before that, we need to turn to ourselves. Do you want to say this?hahaha, haha......" Mu Qian suddenly laughed wildly.
There are many things that he doesn't understand, but this is his life, his path, and his choice. No one can change this, including himself.
At this time, the barbarians outside the city finally launched a new round of attack, and the rumbling war drums and furious cries soon filled the mountain, completely submerging the walled city in this peak.
