The first four volumes are summarized:

I left the Central Plains, went to Chang'an, and entered the palace as an official.

The emperor, the outer court, and the inner court were all replaced.

The world is in chaos.

The Holy Maiden came from the Holy Land.

The Great Battle of the Outer Dynasty and the Inner Court.

The world is in chaos.

The fifth volume tells the story of my return to Chang'an.

These experiences are peculiar and exciting, and I can honestly and responsibly say that I can't even believe my experience.

Let's take the example of that lottery.

There will always be 4 billion people who win the lottery, and I am the one who won the lottery. For me now, these are things that have happened; For me before, it was an accident; For 4 billion people, there will always be people who will have something like this; To you, readers, you're reading!

So there's nothing surprising about it – it's all true.

I feel like I'm like a lucky Xuanzang. You see, how powerful the master and apprentice of Xuanzang in "Journey to the West" are, they have worked hard to learn from Middle Earth to the West.

When I was a child, I watched "Journey to the West", I didn't believe it, why did those four people say that they can learn the scriptures and come back? What if they are eaten on the way? What if they get sick? What if they get lost? Why can the four of you get it if you want to? I don't have any skills, I went to the West to learn the scriptures, can I get them back? If you can learn the scriptures because of those gods, then what's the point of you?

After five or six years in the palace, I finally understood that this is another paradox - the necessity of chance, also known as the "survivor paradox".

At the beginning, there must have been countless master-apprentice groups of five people who went to the West to learn scriptures, such as 10,000 Xuanzang, 10,000 Monkey King, 10,000 Sha Seng , 10,000 Zhu Bajie, and 10,000 white dragon horses.

The goblins on the road ate as much as they wanted, steaming, boiling, frying, peeling, slopping, turning into pigs and eating trotters, and cows eating steaks...... But there are too many people who learn from the scriptures, and there will always be those who slip through the net.

In the end, a five-person group of master and apprentice finally returned to Chang'an.

When the emperor heard this, he was great, a person from Chang'an to Tianzhu, after tens of thousands of kilometers, did not die, which proves my sacred imperial power! Give me a reward! Make a note of it for me!

So all the people cheered, and the 10 million subjects of Chang'an shouted: God bless my emperor! God bless my emperor! God bless my emperor!

The emperor was smug when suddenly another five-member group returned! - This is necessary in order to increase the probability of success in learning from the experience.

The emperor's face darkened, and he quietly ordered the forbidden army to kill all the five people who came back.

The first group of five people triumphantly wrote a book called "Journey to the West", saying that the emperor only sent a group of them to the western heavens, and they actually retrieved the holy book, which must prove God's blessing to the emperor.

You can't say that this five-member group is deceiving people, because they believe them 100 percent. They really didn't see any other scripture study groups, and they did miraculously return to Chang'an.

However, all this is not a miracle at all. It's just a cycle of necessity, necessity, just like a person is born to die.

Where there is a cause, there must be an effect, and where there is a beginning, there must be an end.

All right...... Off topic...... I'm not going to talk about this nonsense.

I'll tell you what happened this year, I'm the one who won the lottery, I'm the Xuanzang who returned to Chang'an, you think it's a miracle, but in fact, there is no miracle at all.

If you can believe this, it proves that you have some intelligence; If you don't believe me, I'm not angry, because you don't deserve to be called human at all, at most a table or a chair - I can't be angry with a table or chair, can I?

Let me start with the current time.

If you don't understand it or get bored, you can flip to the next chapter, because it's so cumbersome — so much so that I think I'm mentally ill, but I have to say it, because, it's true.

If I were from the Tang Dynasty, I would say: It is February 1 of the imperial calendar of the first year of the Tang Dynasty Hongsi, and January 2 of the lunar calendar.

At the same time, because the Tang Empire recognized the Han Empire, the Great Min Empire, and the Great Song Empire at the same time, it is now also February 1 of the imperial calendar of the second year of the Han Dynasty, January 2 of the lunar calendar, February 1 of the second year of the imperial calendar of the Great Min Jiaxi, January 2 of the lunar calendar, February 1 of the second year of the Great Song Dynasty, and January 2 of the lunar calendar.

The Tang Empire originally did not recognize the Ming Empire (the official name is: Pseudo-Ming), it even appointed a group of people as the governor of Shandong Province, the governor of Hebei Province or something, the Tang Emperor Li Hongsi is the younger brother of Zhu Honghua, the late emperor of the Pseudo-Ming Dynasty, so Li Hongsi has always wanted to admit the Ming (Pseudo-Ming), the ministers blocked, and the death blocked. But Li Hongsi came up stubbornly and insisted on admitting the Ming Empire. Therefore, it can now also be said that it is February 1 of the sixth year of the Ming Honghua imperial calendar and January 2 of the lunar calendar.

Ah, now that everyone has heard "Daming Honghua six years", it must be much more cordial, and I am the same. If it weren't for the Ming Dynasty, I don't even know how old I am!

However, when the envoy group of the Tang Empire walked to Qicheng, Shandong, the temporary capital of the Ming Empire, with the handwritten document of the Tang Emperor Li Hongsi, the Ming Empire, Zhu Honghua, the emperor of the Ming Empire, took all 500 people alive. Not only did Ling Chi go, but he also publicly sent an open letter to Li Hongsi, the emperor of the Tang Empire (as they call it, the pseudo-Tang Dynasty), scolding him to the point of blood.

Li Hongsi, the emperor of the Tang Empire, was mad and announced that he would not recognize his brother's Ming Empire, so the Ming Dynasty became a pseudo-Ming again, so what I just said "February 1 of the sixth year of the Ming Honghua imperial calendar, January 2 of the lunar calendar" is also illegal, not only can not be said, but even can't think about it, because thinking is also a crime, a crime of thought, a crime plus a crime.

However, Lao Tzu was born in the Ming Dynasty, and if there was no Ming Dynasty, Lao Tzu would not even know how old he was! I can't take notes every year. What if I don't remember having a demerit last year? For example, I wrote it last year, but I didn't think I wrote it, so I was one year older, and then once a year...... Maybe I'm 27 now, but maybe 13 or 54...... Ah, my head hurts.

This is when I think I am a citizen of the Tang Dynasty (in fact, Lao Tzu disdains the people of any country) and am on the border of the Tang Empire (please don't consider the actual border, theoretical border, historical border, future border, sacred border, declared border, imperial border, civil border, actual theory of the Tang Dynasty in the eyes of other empires, historical future declared border, etc....... Because you're going to go crazy), what if I'm not at the border of the Tang Dynasty?

For example, I have now penetrated deep into Xiliang, which is recognized as the border of the Han Dynasty (except for the Ming Dynasty, because the Ming Dynasty claims that the other four empires are all Han borders), so I must not use the Tang Dynasty, because even the Tang Dynasty recognizes the Han Dynasty - although the Tang Emperor Li Hongsi is very reluctant to do so.

Therefore, after thinking about it so much, I must say that it is now February 1 of the imperial calendar of the second year of the Han Xing Dynasty and January 2 of the lunar calendar.

But I also think that this is only because I am a Datang person in the Han Kingdom, so I say this, but my readers, if there are any, are you, and you are not necessarily Tang people in the Han Kingdom. Maybe you are from the Ming Kingdom, or the Song Dynasty is from the Tang Kingdom, or maybe even the Han people are on the border...... So I have to take that into account as well.

If I say in front of a reader who is a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, "It is now the second year of the Han Dynasty, the second year of the imperial calendar, the first month of the lunar calendar", you must be angry, right? Even if you are a citizen of the Great Song Dynasty or a citizen of the Great People, although your country recognizes my Tang Kingdom and his Great Han Kingdom, but you see that "it is now February 1 of the second year of the Great Han Dynasty, and January 2 of the lunar calendar", you must be unhappy, right? You're angry, you're upset, who still reads my memoirs? My memoirs were written for a long time and no one read them, what's the point!

I guess the only solution to these contradictions is to establish an absolute chronology, like the ancient sexagenary chronology.

It's a pity that the sexagenary branch has disappeared for more than 10,000 years, and even if it is established now, it is not allowed, not to mention, every dynasty is not allowed. This is because, every dynasty knows deeply: if you control the chronicle, you control the present, and if you control the present, you control the past and the future. No one will give up on the chronology of their dynasty, even if it destroys the present, the past, and the future of humanity.

Some people will say, don't care so much, then just build a brand new, eternal chronology?

Here's the problem: everyone who destroys the chronology thinks they're reconstructing a new, eternal chronology, just as every dynasty thinks they'll live 10,000 years.

You think that's all you think? You think you're smart? Do you think you're capable? Every fool does not admit that he is a fool.

Now the Ming Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty, the Song Dynasty, the Great People, and the Han Dynasty - damn, I remembered that there were still many old and young remnants of the Qing Empire in the Tang Empire, and they actually used the Qing Dynasty in private - aren't they doing the same? Haven't countless dynasties before and after them been doing this?

Whenever you use a theory to refute others, others can also use that theory to refute you.

Theory can only explain other things, not itself.

There is only one way out: faith.

Faith is believing in what is not believable.

But I don't believe anything! I'm a smart, rational person, so I don't believe in "faith"!

So as much as I specifically wanted to tell you what time it is, I really don't know. I can only say the following in a seemingly fair way, and solemnly declare that every empire below is equal:

It is now February 1 of the sixth year of the Ming Honghua imperial calendar, January 2 of the lunar calendar, February 1 of the second year of the Han Xing Dynasty, January 2 of the lunar calendar, February 1 of the second year of the imperial calendar of the Great Min Jiaxi, January 2 of the lunar calendar, February 1 of the second year of the Great Song Dynasty, January 2 of the lunar calendar, February 1 of the first year of the Tang Dynasty, January 2 of the lunar calendar, February 1 of the second year of the Great Song Dynasty, January 2 of the lunar calendar, the Qing Empire (I give those old and young people a face, maybe they will also read my memoirs) February 1 of the first year of Qingyi, January 2 of the lunar calendar.

I was driving with satisfaction while thinking about these illusory things, when suddenly one more thing came to mind: the Great Song Empire and the Great People Empire not only changed the date, but even the date!

That is to say, their January 1st is not our January 1st at all, but the birthday of their first emperor, that is to say, January 1st of the Great Song Empire is actually our July 8th, and our January 1st is actually May 23rd of the Great Song Empire; January 1st of the Damin Empire is actually our March 9th, and our January 1st is actually September 4th of the Damin Empire!

Even, they even changed the "meter" and "kilogram", for example, 1 meter of the Damin Empire is actually our 1.7884765 meters, its 1 kilogram is actually our 2.7885876 kilograms, and the one meter of the Great Song Empire is actually our 0.78689 meters, and its 1 kilogram is actually our 0.98856 kilograms - but who are "we"?

Are our "meters" and "kilograms" set by themselves?

How did they come about?

Did we change that way?

Since we have changed, why don't you let people change it?

Who do you think you are? What's so great about you?

That is, I thought a lot about it earlier, and it was completely useless!

I can't figure out the actual dates of the countries, and I'm not one of those fools who can only try!

Dates don't make sense, and weights and measures don't make sense!

Everything makes no sense!

Thinking of this, I drove like crazy, and I was almost angry!
