Chapter 267: Library Pavilion
The Cambrian explosion of life has been called a big unsolved case in paleontology and geology, and has plagued academia such as evolution since Darwin. About 542 million years ago to 530 million years ago, it is geologically considered to be the beginning of the Cambrian period, and the Cambrian strata suddenly appeared in a large number of invertebrate fossils in more than 20 million years, and in the early and more ancient strata, no obvious ancestral fossils have been found for a long time, which is called the "Cambrian explosion of life", referred to as the "Cambrian explosion".
During this period, scientists have a lot of speculations about what forces caused a large number of organisms to appear on the earth in a short period of time, making the originally lifeless earth become full of life almost overnight.
What is the truth?
So far, no one has been able to give a correct answer, or that there is an answer, but humans do not want to believe it.
Adams looked at Dr. Ollie's research report, and to be honest, he didn't want to believe it, because it seemed to be a fantasy book with more guesswork than the data from the experiment.
Of course, there is no way to do it, the smog event has only passed for less than a month, and what are those gases that look more like smoke cannot be detected by the technology on the earth.
"Among the three groups of 10,000 observers, nine people in the youth group showed signs of awakening, and the middle-aged group and the elderly group did not find any abnormalities, but their physique has improved to varying degrees, does this mean that a large number of awakened people will appear on the earth in the near future?"
"In the experiments of various creatures, blood crystals have been found in the bodies of living beings, do you want to say that blood crystals will also appear in human bodies?"
"There are also experiments on primates, which have found that they have a tendency to develop intelligence......
Adams slammed his hands on the desk and said, "You tell me, should I believe this report?" ”
Dr. Ollie didn't react much to Adams's questioning, but said lightly: "The report is the result, whether His Excellency the President wants to believe it or not, this is the case, the research team has always believed that an event similar to the Cambrian outbreak has occurred on Earth, if everything is correct, soon similar events will occur in various places, the first should be the ocean and forests, then the lower creatures, and finally the human beings themselves." ”
"Nonsense! How do you make me believe this report! ”
Dr. Ollie shrugged his shoulders helplessly and said, "You can think so, but science is science, and although we don't have strong evidence yet, experiments have confirmed ......." ”
Adams cut off the video call with Dr. Ollie, which was unscientific, or he didn't want to believe it, and naturally the politicians wouldn't believe it.
But just then, a general in military uniform walked in, gave Adams a military salute and said, "Your Excellency, I just got some news, please look at ......." ”
The general handed the tablet in his hand to Adams, who was seated, and said, "An ocean-going whaling ship was attacked by unknown creatures in the Antarctic waters, and the whole ship was dragged into the deep sea by a monster that resembles an octopus, and the video on the ship only sent back a video ....... ”
"Near the South American rainforest, there was a giant man-eating ant that attacked three villages and killed more than 300 people!"
"In the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, there is a yacht that has captured an image that resembles an ancient dragon!"
"Small biological mutations such as giant lizards, scorpions and mosquitoes have been found in South Africa, West Africa and other places, and many pastures have been attacked ......."
“……”
"Your Excellency the President, these news have been blocked by the army and have not yet been disseminated on the Internet, but I am afraid that these things will not be hidden for a long time......", the general looked at Adams, but found that Adams did not look at those images, but looked out the window with empty eyes, and muttered to himself: "Is the Cambrian explosion really coming?" ”
Lu Tianyu got into the flying car that the Chen family came to pick him up, and looked at the gorgeous decoration in the car with great interest, the top leather seats, delicate touch, with a hint of warmth, and the snowflakes floating outside the window formed a sharp contrast.
Patting the handrail made of fragrant wood, Lu Tianyu took the champagne handed over by Chen Hongyi and said, "Is Steward Chen very idle?" ”
Every time he deals with Lu Tianyu, it is Chen Hongyi, which gives Lu Tianyu a very idle feeling towards Chen Hongyi, otherwise why would Chen Hongyi receive him.
"Master Lu doesn't know, the Chen family is not only my housekeeper, my duty is to treat people and things in the inner courtyard, and the matter of accompanying Master Lu is naturally under my jurisdiction, if Master Lu feels that I am not suitable, can I change someone to receive Master Lu?"
"That's what I said, it doesn't mean anything!"
Lu Tianyu continued to chat with Chen Hongyi: "Steward Chen, can I ask, how many guests are there in a family like yours?" Of course, if it's not convenient to answer, I didn't ask! ”
Chen Hongyi took the champagne and said: "This is also a secret, although the Chen family is one of the most wealthy families in China, and the industry is also all over the world, there are more than 40 guests who have signed contracts with the Chen family, and there are also some talents like Master Lu, although they have a close relationship with the Chen family, but they have not signed any contracts with the Chen family." ”
Lu Tianyu seemed to hear another meaning from Chen Hongyi's words, that is, it didn't matter if he didn't sign a contract with the Chen family, Chen Hongyi also saw that Lu Tianyu was unwilling to sign a contract with the Chen family, so he said so.
While talking, the two came to a villa on the outskirts of Jinling, and got out of the car Lu Tianyu found that this should be an old house of the Chen family, a locust tree in front of the door is two or three hundred years old, and there are no other buildings around, and only a plaque is hung on the antique gate: the Chen family, the paint on it has peeled off a little over the years, as if no one has cleaned it for a long time.
An old man with a hunchback opened the door and invited the two in, Lu Tianyu found that when Chen Hongyi saw the old man, his attitude was very respectful, and he bowed deeply, although the old man was not good-looking, but Lu Tianyu thought that his status in the Chen family should not be low.
Entering the gate is greeted by a huge stone carved shadow wall, which is carved with flowers, birds, fish and insects and historical allusions, Lu Tianyu has not had time to watch, was taken by Chen Hongyi to the first courtyard, because it is winter, the flowers and plants in the yard have withered, can only see a few tree trunks that have fallen leaves, and I don't know what kind of tree it is.
When he walked through the courtyard for the first time, Lu Tianyu found that there seemed to be no one in the whole courtyard, of course, this was only visible to the eye, but the neat stone pavement and the clean corridor and furniture showed that there were people here who cleaned it frequently.
Walking through the vertical arch into the second courtyard, the view here is different from the outside, there is a very old wooden attic on the left and right, through the windows of the attic, you can vaguely see the flower pots and exquisite furniture on the windowsill inside.
Chen Hongyi did not stop in the second courtyard, and directly brought Lu Tianyu into the backyard, which is a garden covering an extremely wide area, with evergreen shrubs in all seasons, rockeries with strange rockeries, small lakes that have not yet frozen, and exquisite pavilions and bamboo forests.
When Lu Tianyu walked through the moon arch, a faint thought swept over Lu Tianyu, Lu Tianyu looked in the direction of the idea, and found that there was a very simple wooden house in front of a bamboo forest, just when Lu Tianyu seemed to look at the wooden house, Chen Hongyi saluted the wooden house and said: "Chen Hongyi was ordered by the head of the family to take Lu Tianyu into the library to read the collection for three days, please forgive the elders for any disturbances!" As he spoke, he held up a wooden sign and shook it.
"The rules can't be abolished, let's go in!" A bell-like voice came from the cabin, and there was no more to say, as if the voice had not come from the cabin.
"Master Lu, please!" Chen Hongyi seemed to have been allowed, so he continued to walk forward with Lu Tianyu.
Lu Tianyu followed behind Chen Hongyi curiously, and found that there were no other buildings in this garden except for the wooden house, and the library pavilion in Chen Hongyi's mouth just now didn't even see a shadow, which was a bit strange, could it be that Chen Hongyi was lying to himself?
The heart of harming people is indispensable, and the heart of guarding against people is indispensable, Lu Tianyu is careful to be on guard, in case the Chen family has a plan, it may not be possible.
It turns out that Lu Tianyu is thinking too much.
I saw Chen Hongyi walk to a rockery, put his hand into the rockery cave, and I don't know what Chen Hongyi did, a boulder next to the rockery slowly translated, revealing a staircase leading to the underground.
"The Library Pavilion is actually underground?"
If Chen Hongyi told Lu Tianyu that the Chen family's classics were hidden underground, he would not look around for any library pavilions, it was really selling dog meat on the head of a sheep, and it was not shallow to deceive people!
followed Chen Hongyi down the stairs, the further down he went, the wider the bottom, and only a dozen steps were taken, and the stairs that could only be passed by one person just now could already be walked side by side. After descending a distance of about seven or eight meters, at the end of the stairs, it turned out to be an elegantly furnished bedroom, there was no row of bookshelves in it, but there were two lightly dressed women in it, and after seeing the two, they hurriedly stepped forward and said: "The big butler is here!" ”
Chen Hongyi said: "This is here, the collections are in the study inside, Master Lu can read here with peace of mind for these three days, and I will come to pick you up after three days, they will serve you in these three days, and I hope Master Lu will not be surprised!" ”
Lu Tianyu knew that it was impossible for the Chen family to let himself alone in the library pavilion, although the two girls were serving Lu Tianyu's daily life, they also had the intention of surveillance, which was not surprising at all.
"It's okay! Since he came, he naturally had to abide by the rules of the Chen family! ”
"That's good, please also ask Master Lu to wear wide clothes, all personal belongings are not allowed to be brought into the study, and when you leave, you will naturally return the amount!"
Saying that, the two women had already walked in front of Lu Tianyu, and they reached out to help Lu Tianyu with wide clothes, although Lu Tianyu didn't mind, but it was the first time to be served by two women like this, and he was a little unaccustomed, "I'll come by myself!" ”
The two women sneered, and said with watery eyes: "The hot water has been prepared for your guests, please invite you!" ”
Lu Tianyu found that the underground facilities were readily available, obviously not prepared for himself alone, and entered a bathroom under the leadership of the two, took off his clothes and handed them to the two women, who handed the clothes to Chen Hongyi, who was waiting on the side, Chen Hongyi took the clothes and left, leaving only Lu Tianyu and the two girls in the room.
There was no accident, after Chen Hongyi left, the two women also took off the light veil on their bodies, and had a close contact with Lu Tianyu, and I don't know whether the two women were intentional or deliberate, when they made contact, they checked Lu Tianyu's whole body, inside and out, quietly, of course, other things were not less, after a long time, the sound of the water stopped, and the charming sound in the bathroom gradually stopped, the two women's cheeks were red, their bodies were soft, and they were satisfied with a wide robe and draped it on Lu Tianyu.
Since he had to get along with the two girls day and night for the past three days, Lu Tianyu naturally didn't make an estimate, and said with one hand in his arms: "Take me to the study to see!" ”
Unlike Lu Tianyu's imagination of the collection of thousands of volumes, sweat cow full house, the study room here is not big, only two rows of six meters long, two meters high bookshelves, the shelves are full of all kinds of books, large and small about two or three hundred, the books are not common prints, but very ancient manuscripts, even the paper is not ordinary paper, some are linen paper, some are bound by animal leather, many books have obvious signs of damage, and even some books know that they have gone through hundreds of years at a glance, Even the ink on it was blurred.
"The heritage of the family is really extraordinary!"
Although the Chen family's collection is not much, Lu Tianyu still knows something, every collection in the cultivation world is extremely precious, Lu Tianyu once asked Xie Haotian if there are Xiuzhen classics at home, but Xie Haotian just smiled bitterly, more like the alchemy notes of Wu Kuang that Lu Tianyu auctioned at the auction last time, although it is not a treasure, but it also cost Lu Tianyu tens of thousands of spiritual grass worth of lower-grade spirit stones to get it, it can be seen that every Xiuzhen collection is worth a lot of money, There are many people in a family like Xie Haotian who don't have a single classic book on cultivation.
Since Lu Tianyu knew very little about the cultivation classics on the earth, he simply did not prepare to look for them purposefully, but started from one end of the bookshelf, took down all the classics weighing more than ten catties, put them on the desk next to him, and prepared to read them one by one.
After in-depth communication with the two girls, Lu Tianyu knew the names of the two girls, one was called Snow Shadow and the other was Ziyan.
At this time, Ziyan lit sandalwood and said, "Distinguished guest, if you want to find any classics, you can ask us sisters?" My sisters and I have been here for three years, and we know every book in our hearts, and although we don't know what the books are, we know what each book is for. ”
Xue Ying came over with a cup of tea, sat behind Lu Tianyu, and gently tapped his little hand on Lu Tianyu's shoulder: "That's true, the collection of books here is roughly divided into three categories, one is the records about the cultivation realm, which are all some anecdotes, one is the secret of the exercises, and the last is the alchemy ....... ”
"Do you two read?"
"The master won't let us read, if we secretly read and speak, they will gouge out our eyes and cut out our tongues, we don't dare!"
Lu Tianyu said in his heart: Sure enough!
But it's a relief to think about it, such an important collection, the two girls stay in it every day, not to mention cultivation, at least it is still possible to write it all down, and the Chen family naturally won't let this kind of thing happen.
