Chapter 241: A Huge Lies
Originally, I thought this would be a bloody story of fighting against the evil forces to the end, but I didn't expect to kill such a middle two setting on the way, compared to the elixir, I prefer to believe that those authors collectively had hysteria, and then used this as a skeleton to write these cookie-cutter stories!
The boss looked at my complicated expression, and suddenly showed a rare smile, but it disappeared in an instant, and continued to say in a deep voice with a straight face: "Because of the existence of the elixir of life, these stories can be established, and later someone wanted to find the legendary immortals in this way, and the immortal society you know was formed by these people." ”
The origin of the Immortal Society should be considered explosive information, but there is so much such information today, my nerves have become numb to the point that it is difficult to be touched, and I now feel like a killer with feelings, and I only have an "oh" and no reaction at all.
The boss seemed to be expecting to see my shocked face, and after waiting for a long time and not seeing it, he couldn't help but feel a little lost, looked at the gradually brightening sky outside the window and waved his hand: "That's it for today, there is a loophole in what I said just now, find it, this is your homework today." ”
After saying that, the boss turned around and left, and when I saw the two words on the wall, I felt a pain in my brain, and I really thought that Lao Tzu was here to go to school? Then he lay on the bed and continued to stare at the ceiling in a daze.
Before I knew it, it was bright, and it stands to reason that I should have been sleepy and couldn't open my eyes after a night of tossing, but now I didn't feel sleepy at all, and my mind was full of the boss's face and the bizarre stories he told.
I closed my eyes and forced myself to sleep, but the more I didn't let myself think about it, the more I couldn't help it, and I didn't fall asleep after tossing and turning for more than two hours like a pancake, so I simply sat up, grabbed a book and leaned against the head of the bed to look at it.
This book was the last "Secret Story of the Square Pot" given to me by the boss, I didn't read it at the time, and the boss didn't go back.
Fangju is the name of the place, also called "Abbot Mountain" or "Abbot Continent", and Yingzhou, Penglai and called "three immortal mountains", the legend says that the three immortal mountains are located in the depths of the Bohai Sea, but the fairyland is ethereal and difficult for ordinary people to find, occasionally there are people who mistakenly enter and say that there is a fairyland, and the elixir of life is hidden in it.
Because of these legends, there are many emperors in history who have visited the fairy mountain to seek miracle medicine, but in the end there is no result, one of the most famous is the first emperor Yingzheng, thinking that the protagonists in these books can meet immortals when they go into the mountains to chop wood, I can't help but feel worthless for this emperor through the ages.
The literary language is concise and concise, so the length of this "Fang Ke Experience" is not long, I have read it from beginning to end after thinking about it, and it is really similar to what I expected, and it is a routine of one day in the mountains and a thousand years in the world.
I found the previous folder, put "Fang Ke Experience" back on the bookshelf according to the coordinates above, and looked at the titles of the books on the catalog, and suddenly realized that something seemed wrong.
I didn't pay attention to the catalog because I was attracted by the bookshelves, but now when I look closely, I find that almost all of them are all kinds of legendary place names, so I took out my phone and opened the memo and started to count.
In all 1,326 books, Penglai Immortal Island appears 278 times, Yingzhou Wonderland appears 196 times, Fanghu Shenshan appears 213 times, and other place names such as "Yaochi" and "Kunlun Wonderland" also appear many times, all of which have one thing in common - they are all places where immortals live in seclusion or have elixirs of life!
In addition, there are some books that do not appear in the title of the place, such as "The Quest for Immortals" that I read before, but this kind of title does not account for a high proportion, only about sixty or seventy copies, which gives me the feeling that it is deliberately added to make a lie appear true.
And the meaning of these books is also very strange, the content of the book is not even a wild history at all, it is estimated that no one believes it when it is read to children in kindergarten, if there is really such a group of people who sharpen their heads and want to find the elixir, how can they look for clues from these bedtime books?
Looking at the table of contents and pondering for a long time, I suddenly had a flash of inspiration, if these books themselves have no reference value, then the only reason why people can value them is that they are found to be valuable!
There were more and more details that were wrong, and I remembered for no reason the homework my boss had assigned me, and he said that there was a big hole in his words, and combined with my current findings, I suddenly had a bold conjecture - this was a huge lie.
As soon as this idea appeared, I was instantly shocked, you must know that this is not as simple as writing more than 1,300 short stories, each dynasty and region, the style of writing and words are different, for example, "Tian Ji Horse Racing" comes from the "Historical Records" of the Western Han Dynasty, so the word "Tian Ji Horse Racing" cannot appear in the articles before the Western Han Dynasty.
This is just one of the simplest and most basic details, if you zoom in to the full text, there are more details that need to be paid attention to, in order not to be seen by others, even if it is just a short article of two or three hundred words, the information that needs to be studied behind it will be astronomical, although I am always on guard against others, but I don't believe that anyone really spends so much energy to lay out a lie!
"The complexity of a lie is directly proportional to the benefits brought by a lie, if someone bothers so much effort to deceive me one day, then Lao Tzu's life is worth it, right?" I thought to myself, but I still felt that this speculation was a bit sensational.
But after thinking about it, it seems that it is not impossible for the boss to use dozens of times more manpower to decorate the abandoned cemetery and write more than a thousand articles to weave a lie in order to test a few of us.
When I have doubts, the best way is to ask the person directly, I rubbed my face with a complicated expression and lay on the bed, ready to wait for the boss to come over next time I will ask him directly, anyway, the homework he left me is to find loopholes, then there seems to be nothing wrong with me opening my mind.
Maybe it's because I used my brain too much just now, this time I fell asleep not long after I lay down, and I saw the boss's office in my dream, but the person sitting behind the desk was not the boss, but a middle-aged man who looked a little like the boss.
The middle-aged man was unaware of my presence, and was lying on the table and writing hard, surrounded by a mountain of all kinds of documents, and occasionally the middle-aged man would stop to read a few documents before continuing to write.
I don't know how long later, I heard a knock on the door behind me, and the middle-aged man shouted "enter" without raising his head, and after a while, I saw a teenage boss holding two cups of tea and slowly walking into my sight from the side.
"Sure enough, I had a weird dream again." I thought silently to myself, and then watched the situation unfold.
