Chapter 47 The Distant Past

Chapter 47 Translation Completed

"What does that story carved on the stone tablet say?" Ling Moyu asked.

"This story, or myth, is very incomprehensible to say, and it's about reincarnation. The concept of reincarnation appears more often in Eastern legends, but not so much in the West. The Sumo civilization has had an influence on cultures all over the world, both in the East and the West, but the influence on the West is much greater than that in the East, including the Greek, Roman, Persian and Hebrew cultures, which have been greatly influenced by the Sumo civilization, and many of their myths and legends are copies of Sumo mythology. Wang Xiaotian said.

"But there is almost no idea of reincarnation in these myths, and the thinking of Westerners is basically linear, which does not fit with the concept of reincarnation."

"He is talking about the world being born after the destruction of the previous universe, and the world of the previous generation was completely destroyed by a fire, and no one was spared. In order to pass on their own civilization, some of these wise men had already predicted the imminent occurrence of the Great Fire, and in order to pass on their own civilization, they placed the seeds of civilization in four special keys, and sent messengers to hide in the four corners of the universe, waiting for future generations to discover and carry forward the civilization. ”

"Did he say what the key looks like and how to use it when you find it?" Ling Moyu asked.

"The word key mentioned in the article was coined by me, and I want to open the door of life, since it must be the key that can open the door of life, otherwise what else can it be? As for how to use the key you said, it is not specified, as if to say that this must be explored by the finder himself, or that there is a way to open the door, and the power to open the door needs to be mastered by himself. Wang Xiaotian said.

"Where did they put the keys? How do you find it? Ling Moyu asked.

"In order to hide the key, they adopted a special method, presumably a random assignee, in order not to let people know the whereabouts of the key, waiting for someone destined to get it. Once someone has obtained the key, a special celestial phenomenon occurs, indicating that a key has been found. If you find all the keys, you will have all the abilities of the previous generation and become the master of the universe. ”

"There is also an explanation of the above, which probably means that there are four kinds of energy in the universe, and these four energies are a kind of progressive relationship, and only with the first energy can the second type be opened, the second type can be opened by the third type, and the third type can be opened by the fourth type, and this fourth energy is creative even if it is destructive." Wang Xiaotian said.

"Did they record why the last generation was destroyed? What happened? Ling Moyu asked.

"The record says that the destruction was carried out spontaneously by the previous generation, and they said that the world has been polluted by bad people, and cannot remain pure, and must be completely destroyed with cosmic fire, and then pure human beings can be reborn after destruction." Wang Xiaotian said.

It also records that another part of the people, afraid of the burning of the cosmic fire, wanted to extinguish the cosmic fire with an ice storm, and a tragic war broke out between the two sides, and finally the people who supported the rebirth won the final victory, and the universe was burned and reborn. The victorious side hides the secret of rebirth in a key before the destruction of the universe and reveals it to future generations. ”

"This story seems very simple!" Ling Moyu said.

"The myths and legends of the early days are like this, because it is difficult to write and record, and there are few people who can write and read, so the records are very simple, and they can be saved, but they can also reveal a lot of news. For example, it is recorded in Buddhist scriptures that the skin of the Buddha is bronze, which is inconsistent with the skin color of the current locals, indicating that the current locals must not be the people of that time, but migrated later. For another example, many ministers of the Johan Kingdom were worried about the crown prince, and Gautama's body was too weak to fight on horseback, indicating that the country was in crisis at that time and was on the verge of war. These simple stories need to be interpreted through a lot of peripheral materials to get the deep meaning behind them. Wang Xiaotian said.

"Can you decipher anything from that?" Ling Moyu asked.

"It's a bit difficult to interpret this with the current information, and I'm afraid the interpretation is not very accurate, so I'll try to talk about it. For example, they talk about the destruction of the world, and almost every nation's mythological system has a record of the great destruction, but the difference is that the destruction of other nations is basically caused by the great flood, such as the story of Noah's Ark, the story of Dayu's control of the water, and so on. And this story is written about the destruction of humanity by fire, so it's a little strange. We know that the Great Flood is the memory of the global flood caused by the melting of global glaciers after the Ice Age, and that the destruction of this fire may have been caused by a forest fire, and prehistoric humans who were killed by forest fires have indeed been found in prehistoric civilizations. ”

There is also the fact that they hid the secret of rebirth in the four corners, which may be a reflection of the treasure left by their predecessors by chance in the process of civilization revival. It is also written that the struggle between the two forces may be a war between two tribes for resources, and the victory of the last side will completely wipe out the other. Wang Xiaotian said.

"Is this what they've been through?" Ling Moyu asked.

"Not necessarily, writing was not invented at that time, and many things were passed down by word of mouth from generation to generation, and it was only officially recorded later when there was writing, and of course the facts may be far from the real situation at that time." Wang Xiaotian said.

The temperature in the restaurant was very high, and the two of them were slightly sweating while eating, and Wang Xiaotian took off the silk scarf that had been wearing around his neck and put it aside. Only then did Ling Moyu notice that there were two subtle scars on both sides of her neck, which could not be seen if she didn't pay attention, which were the marks left by the operation.

Wang Xiaotian noticed that Ling Moyu was looking at the wound on her neck, so she said bluntly: "That's from the operation, and I usually wear a scarf to cover the scar." ”

"Oh, I'm sorry I didn't mean to see it, it's not serious, it doesn't look like the wound is big." Ling Moyu said.

"It doesn't matter, it's a thyroid tumor, it's benign on one side and malignant on the other." Wang Xiaotian said casually.

"Thyroid tumors are detected early, and early treatment is generally not too much of a problem." Ling Moyu said.

"Yes, there is usually no problem, but if it recurs, it will metastasize, and there is no good way to treat it. But it doesn't matter, at least it won't recur for 10 years. Wang Xiaotian is still very calm.

"You're optimistic, it's important to be in a good mood." Ling Moyu said.

"Otherwise, what can I do, since things have happened, we must face them calmly, no matter good or bad, we can only accept it, happy for a day, sad for a day, why not be happy!" What Wang Xiaotian said was not pretentious at all, it was natural.

Ling Moyu looked at the girl in front of him, and a pity rose in his heart, he had a serious illness at a young age, but he was as optimistic as ever, and he was not shackled by the illness at all. If a person is well-versed, he also has insight into life, and he can't help but be ashamed to think that he is still entangled by the past.

It wasn't early, Ling Moyu and Wang Xiaotian walked out of the restaurant together, "I'll send you home." Ling Moyu said.

"My home is not far away, so I'll just go back by myself." Wang Xiaotian said.

"Anyway, it's okay for me to go back, it's too late today, let's go to the movies together next time." Ling Moyu said.

"Let's see when we have time." Wang Xiaotian did not agree or refuse.
