Chapter 6: The Collapse of an Atheist's Faith
After 4 hours and 20 minutes, Lifus woke up on time, and because of the transplantation of a super CPU in his body, it is equivalent to having two brains, so he can precisely control the time of his sleep.
After systematically examining his physical condition, Lifus came to the conclusion that he must now allow himself to rest for several hours in order to relieve mental and physical exhaustion.
But before he went to sleep, Lifus once scanned the entire cave with a monkey watch, and found that there was an irregular bulge on the rock wall about 47 meters from the bottom of the cave to the northwest.
And on top of this raised rock wall, which is extremely difficult to find, there is a cluster of extremely pure energy clusters, which makes Livers shocked.
Lifus was the best of the high-end elites born in the post-particle technology era, and there were not many things he hadn't seen in this world, but the weirdness of this mass of energy was beyond his knowledge.
According to the data analysis fed back from the monkey table, this mass of energy is a positive sphere, about 30 millimeters in diameter, which is not as big as a ping-pong ball, but the terrifying energy contained in it is conservatively estimated to be more than the sum of the energy produced by the explosion of 15 million tons of equivalent explosives*. The material that composes it is somewhat similar to a new isotope of hydrogen produced after the fusion chain reaction of Zou particles, which is extremely dense and, more strangely, not radioactive.
The compression of this energy is a bit appalling, and even the most advanced particle fusion, which has been improved countless times, cannot be so energetic and efficient, like compressing a skyscraper into a stationery box, or like a star collapsing into a neutron star.
After a period of observation, Lifus found that the radiation concentration in a large area of the mass was low and gradually decreasing. In other words, it is likely that it is absorbing radiation, which makes the radiation level much lower than that of the outside world, which is probably why Lifus fell into this cave and found that it could breathe directly.
The mysterious energy body, sucking up nuclear radiation like a black hole and not being radioactive itself, these signs can certainly make Lifus's curiosity overcome his fear of unknown terrifying energy.
Livers was determined to go up and find out, but before he could give himself a short rest from the exhaustion of his escape from being ambushed and pursued, he set himself a sleep of 4 hours and 20 minutes.
When he woke up, he found that things were not going for the better. The previous close exposure to nuclear radiation caused most of his body surface cells and tissues to die, his whole body was swollen, his chest, abdomen, back and limbs were full of huge blisters, the slightest movement of his body would cause pain in his heart and spleen, T cells were busy with the high body temperature, and another smart chip brain was calculating his pitiful and slim chances of survival in such a desperate situation and being seriously injured.
Livers gritted his teeth and sat up, carefully removing his heavy radiation suit, each of which was a painstaking move, his brow furrowed and he sweated like a pulp of pain. He took out a small folding dagger from his trouser pocket near his calf, and picked out the blisters on his body one by one, and the pus flowing from the blisters was as clear as snot in thirty-nine days.
The blisters will be more painful and inexorable, and they are very susceptible to infection, but there is nothing around Lifus to bandage the wound, and a lot of blood oozing from the surface of his body, maybe his blood pressure will drop sharply due to excessive blood loss, and he feels that he is on the verge of life and death, and the huge pain may make him faint at any time, and it is unknown whether he can wake up again.
He shuddered and opened the tactical backpack, took out a strangely shaped conical firearm from it, fastened the bottom end to the belt buckle, raised the gun and took a brief aim, and after pulling the trigger, the spike-shaped super alloy at the front of the gun whistled out, shooting into the air at high speed with a flexible fiber rope, and then deeply embedded in the limestone layer about five meters above the protruding rock wall.
Livers pulled the rope down hard, and after making sure the wedge was strong enough, he pressed the button to power up. The motor at the end of the gun stirred the rope, carrying his body up slowly, blood dripping from him, like an ancient prisoner being skinned and hung on a gallows, miserable and hopeless.
After reaching a sufficient height, Lifus couldn't wait to swing to the rock wall bulge, above which was an irregular platform, very flat, about 30 square meters, and strangely enough, the stone that made up this platform turned out to be granite, not the limestone that is common here.
The super-energy was right in the middle of the platform, near the rock wall, and was contained in an all-white porcelain vase, and next to it was an old and quaint book, and there was nothing else on the platform but the vase and the book.
Lifus was too late to be surprised that he could still find traces of humanity in this desperate situation, his life was withering, his soul was about to wither, if it weren't for the strong curiosity and the last glimmer of desire to survive, Lifus believed that he would never have climbed to such a high place, and might have died at the bottom of the hole full of puddles, and now, at least he had chosen a relatively dry cemetery.
The entire book was written by Xiao Seal, an ancient Chinese script that no one in the world could recognize before the Great War of the Century, but fortunately there was a super database on the hard drive in Livers's skull, and there was almost no obstacle to the recognition of various ancient characters.
The general content of the book is a cultivator named Xue Zhen, the author of this book, who chose to ascend here and left behind a pill and two scriptures to bless future generations.
The two scriptures are the Guanzhao Sutra and the Taoist Sutra, which is the entry-level scripture of ancient Chinese Taoism, and the Taoist Sutra is said to be written by Li Er, the founder of Taoism.
Li Er is Lao Tzu, and it is said in the book that Li Er rode a green ox west to Huahu and passed through Hangu Pass. Hangu Guan Yin was happy to see that there was a vision in the sky, the purple air came from the east, and knew that there was a noble person coming, so he waited at the pass, and waited for Lao Tzu to arrive, so he left a book, and only 5,000 words of the Tao Te Ching were circulated in the world in later generations. But the fact is that Lao Tzu left two scriptures back then, one Taoist and one Dejing. The Book of Virtue is a text that teaches people to cultivate themselves and establish morality, govern the country and the family, and the words and deeds of etiquette, and the Tao Jing is a piece of cultivation that teaches people to practice the Tao and practice the body and immortality.
This letter to the valley pass made Yin Xi, but he had selfish intentions, only took out half of the moral scriptures in the world, called the "Tao Te Ching", and left the Taoist scriptures to study hard, but their own qualifications are really limited, only to cultivate to the realm of the earth and immortals, there is no inch to enter, there is no hope of soaring, and he lives to be more than 100 years old and dies, and this Taoist scripture does not know where to go.
Later, Xue Zhen's grandfather once obtained this Taoist scripture by chance, and found Zhang Daoling's secret treasure, obtained four dragon and tiger pills and three or five evil male and female swords, etc., and finally cultivated into an immortal body, and soared day by day. And the excellent cultivation talent that Xue Zhen, who was still young, showed early, made his father, who was mediocre, make up his mind to leave all the cultivation resources to his son, including the two priceless Dragon and Tiger Great Pills, of course.
The Dragon and Tiger Great Dan is the peerless Dao Dan that the Taoist patriarch Zhang Daoling and his disciples refined in Heming Mountain in Shuzhong for three years, and it is rumored that they can become immortals immediately.
This Xue is really a genius of cultivation, and he is dedicated to the Tao, has no desires and no desires, is not close to women all his life, and has not left any heirs, so before he ascended, he sealed the remaining dragon and tiger pill in a porcelain vase, and left it with the Tao Sutra for future generations.
Behind the Taoist Sutra is the real cultivation method, which is full of Taoist practice terms that Li Fusi does not understand, and there are also hand-drawn methods and roadmaps of Yuan Qi running in the meridians and acupoints.
The Meditation Sutra is a scripture that teaches people to breathe and meditate, similar to spiritual cultivation.
This story is the description of Xue Zhen in the book, and many places in it are mixed with strong personal feelings*. Li Fusi has seen many similar ancient Chinese character and mythological novels, from "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" to "Strange Tales of Liao Zhai", and even "The Story of the Stone", which is regarded as the pinnacle of Chinese literary fiction, has a large number of feudal superstitious plots, and these absurd novels of gods and ghosts were widely popular in ancient China, and people were willing to believe them. But in today's technological planet that has abandoned feudalism and ignorance, in this electronic world where even religion can no longer take root, in this harmonious society where most animal and plant races have been eliminated, only the average life expectancy of human beings has increased to 130 years old, but it is not yet a refined society, any modern person who mentions gods, demons, demons, snakes, foxes, immortals, etc., and even qigong, will be looked down upon, despised and spurned by others, and even put on the hat of a god.
But Lifus's mind is a little skeptical now, because the powerful energy in the porcelain vase is contrary to common sense, at least with the current level of science and technology on the earth, it is difficult to imagine that it came from ancient China more than 2,000 years ago.
Lifus carefully poured the mass of energy in the porcelain vase into the palm of his hand, and surprisingly, the mass of energy was not violent, but soft, it was black and gray in color, and there was a layer of dense air flowing slowly, as if it were the surface of Jupiter, or a cluster of nebulae in the vast universe. It was slightly cool to the touch, making Livers's red and swollen palms a little soothing, and this wonderful sensation was transmitted back from his nerves, and even his mood became happy, and the pain seemed to be less than before.
"Is this the legendary Dragon Tiger Great Dan?" Lifus sighed in his heart. In this situation, the decision and choice are not particularly difficult, Lifus imagined himself like the protagonist in the bloody plot described by the writers of martial arts novels who were accustomed to using old-fashioned plots to cheat manuscript fees before the war, desperate survival, adventures, elixirs, weapons, cheats or inheritances left by peerless powerhouses, etc., and then practiced peerless magic skills, invincible in the world, and then lived a good life of flirting with Bai Fumei in several rooms or dozens of rooms every day, and ensuring that Bai Fumei was not suspicious of each other.
It's a self-centered world, where everyone is an independent "me", everyone is the protagonist in their own book, and can rewrite the plot at will, and everyone feels like they are being favored by God from birth, until most people are tormented by life.
Like most people of his time, Lifus was a staunch atheist, and after all this suffering, he no longer believed that he would be the protagonist of any story, but he swallowed the terrifying energy in his hands without hesitation.
Lao Tzu emphasized the rule of inaction, but the spiritual wealth that Lao Tzu left to future generations is endless. It is impossible for Lifus to see his life come to an end and do nothing, and even if that energy explodes within him, it at least means that he has bloomed brilliantly, and the particles that make up his body will scatter to many corners of the world, and then reconstitute many other things, air, flies, cars, light, radiation, or a thought.
