Yin and yang
I remember that when we went to the west to learn scriptures and passed through the quicksand river, people here went out by donkeys to pull carts or ride horses, which was very classical. Now everything has changed, and people rely on buses to get around. The car is driverless, and passengers only need to stop at the door when they get into the car, and the automatic identification system on the bus will transmit the obtained personal information to the bank, and the bank's automatic processor will deduct the amount of the day's consumption from the passenger's personal account based on the information obtained.
This is true not only when traveling, but also when people go to the supermarket to buy groceries, they don't have to worry about not having enough money or too many things to move home. People don't need to bring cash or credit cards to buy things at the supermarket, they just put the selected items into the automatic exit when they leave, wait for a while, and leave their fingerprints; Don't worry about buying things at all, because they're sure to get home before you – there are dedicated shipping lanes for customers. This transportation tunnel is a bit like a time tunnel, which cannot be observed by the human eye, and no matter how big it is, it can be transferred through it.
Except, of course, villas.
I remember that when we crossed the river, we were able to pass it with the help of Guanyin Bodhisattva. Now it's completely different, people only need to wear a special kind of shoes on their feet – like "water floating" – and they can come and go on the water like a monkey. Of course, the premise is that the shoes must be fault-free, and I saw with my own eyes that a person fell down with a "whoosh" when he passed through the center of the quicksand river, which was faster than the speed at which Senior Brother Sha dragged Master into the water.
In this way, in terms of reliability, Brother Monkey's light work still has a unique advantage.
For some reason, despite the high-tech skills used to travel, relatively backward ships were used to transport goods such as sand, stone, and coal. It stands to reason that technology is so advanced that things like ships no longer exist in this era. Brother Monkey called the local land elder to find out. It turns out that ships have long been abandoned, and people rely on machines similar to time tunnels to transport goods, which are fast, convenient, and resource-saving; But then the mountain god reacted to the Jade Emperor that the speed of the time tunnel was too fast, dizzy, and he couldn't stand it, so the emperor Lao'er secretly cast a spell to make all the time tunnels unable to run when transporting sand, stone, and coal. For now, shipbuilding is a new industry, just like artificial organs.
I understand, this is probably called "back to basics".
Senior Brother Sha was glad that he was lucky enough, otherwise the long-planned plan would have come to naught. As far as ships are concerned, Senior Brother Sha still knows a lot, and I believe that shipbuilding is easier for him.
Senior Brother Sha searched several times but could not find his residence on the shore - a cave, depending on the situation, I don't know which dynasty the people "destroyed".
Master stopped a passer-by and asked what age it was. How far is it from the territory of the Tang Dynasty? As if he had discovered a new continent, the man circled around us twice, observed us up and down, and then asked happily: Hey, aren't you the ones who played the scriptures in Journey to the West? How did you get here? Is it a remake of Journey to the West? ……
The man asked like a machine gun, but then suddenly stopped and looked around for a long time.
I thought he was looking for a director and film crew. Master hurriedly explained that a few of us were the people who learned the scriptures back then, and worthy of the name, Shi Nai'an's novel "Journey to the West" was written based on our deeds.
Hearing Master's words, one of the passers-by grabbed Master and said that he was a "six-year-old child", that Master was his idol, and insisted on taking a photo with Master. It's really embarrassing for the poor master, who is shy by nature, but at this time, he is being pulled and pulled by a few people to pose all kinds of poses.
The person who asked us just now was stunned for a long time before he reacted, and then praised the master's humorous speech, saying that the master's words contained infinite charm. I must have thought that the master was joking with him, and that we were really making movies.
When the people next to us saw us, they all thought it was a movie, so some people asked Brother Monkey to take pictures, some people asked Senior Brother Sha to take pictures, and more people asked a group of us to stand together and take a big group photo. I thought that these people are so rare, we will definitely invite us to dinner.
Once again, it turns out that my old pig likes to be amorous, because those people only said two words after taking pictures, and then went away on their own.
One sentence is "thank you"; One sentence is "bye-bye".
"Thank you" and "bye-bye" are useless, they can't be eaten, if any brother is willing, I would like to exchange them for steamed buns and steamed buns.
Tossing and turning, although my old pig's vanity has been greatly satisfied, the practical problem has not been solved: the problem of food and clothing.
Tossing and turning, we only know from the mouths of those passers-by that it is now the "21st century".
In the 21st century, although we don't know what era it is, it at least proves that we are not in the Tang Dynasty.
No matter what century it is, it is important to solve the problem of food and clothing.
According to the previous rules, if you don't have a living situation like this, you usually have to go to the financial department to solve the problem. Although it is purely a misunderstanding that we have come to the present era, we are still people who once lived in this land, and in more fashionable terms, we belong to the "problem left over from history".
According to King Tang's plan at that time, no matter how we delayed, we would be able to return to the Tang Dynasty after learning the scriptures, and it was still in the dynasty of King Tang. But in reality, the Tang Dynasty no longer exists.
Brother Monkey crossed his fingers and estimated, the reason for such confusion is mostly because we bargained with them for too long when we were learning scriptures in the Scripture Pavilion, which delayed time and failed to catch up with the time for the return trip.
I have long heard that "one day in the sky, ten thousand years on the earth". This joke is too big.
