Chapter 10: Who is it?
With the current level of translation in ancient Chinese characters, we can only interpret the approximate meaning between the lines of the complex characters recorded on the inscriptions unearthed in Wuxiangguo. Although it is impossible to accurately interpret every word and sentence, this does not prevent people from understanding what happened in this most mysterious ancient country thousands of years ago.
It's like the old man went to Dongguan on a business trip the year before last, after dinner he walked lazy steps, enjoying the cool breeze on the shore of Swan Lake, although the girls under the neon lights at night didn't say a word, just compared to him, but the old man still perfectly interpreted their meaning. Today, when the planned economy is developing at a rapid pace, in order to contribute to the economic construction of New China, he only has a strong sense of social responsibility surging up in his heart, and he spares no effort to work until 4 o'clock in the morning, and he has made a modest contribution to the great unity of the people of the whole country with touching tears.
Because the Chinese characters are broad and profound, and even some studies have made it clear that the order of the characters is indefinite, and they can be read and read. For example, when you read this sentence, you will find that all the words in this book are messed up.
For the state, what they value most is the history and culture recorded in these ancient inscriptions. As for the old man, he is more personally interested in all kinds of anecdotes that happened here more than 2,000 years ago. And the most fascinating thing for him is the sacred object depicted in a large part of the inscription in the ancient books of Wuxiang Kingdom: the jade of the living dead.
According to the descriptions in these ancient inscriptions of the Elephantless Kingdom, the wonder of the living dead jade is that it can bring anyone who comes close to it into a mysterious state of "life is also death, and death is also life". Unlike the classical theory of physics, "Schrödinger's cat", this state of "neither life nor death" produced by the jade of the living dead is real.
In such a state, the so-called "time" loses its end. The concept of "life and death" no longer exists, and in modern terms, it is an "entity" composed of elementary particles, which has become dispensable. The so-called "soul" exists eternally in a special form under the action of the "jade of the living dead". So when someone is fortunate enough to be affected by the Jade of the Living Dead, then in a sense, that person has attained the so-called "eternal life".
Lao Lu suddenly stopped when he said this.
His nose ached, and tears ran down his cheeks.
He choked softly, "I'm sorry old man. ”
As we all know, the Elephantless Kingdom never records things that cannot be verified repeatedly, such as gods, Buddhas, metaphysics, etc. For them, mountains are mountains, and water is water, including lightning and thunder, fires, tornadoes, sandstorms, etc., and the people of the Elephant Kingdom never think that these things are the will of "God", but the ordinary and unremarkable principles of nature, which are explained by scientific theories. Although these scientists more than 2,000 years ago are still quite immature to explain these principles, you must know that it was more than 2,000 years ago.
And a country that is so obsessed with science will never worship a so-called "divine object" for no apparent reason. This is diametrically opposed to the purpose of the Elephant Empire's belief in science, so there is only one explanation for all this: this living dead jade probably really exists.
Lao Lu and the old man used their last strength to return to the broken Santana parked at the foot of the mountain, at this moment, neither of them had the leisure and elegance to go to Qinhuangdao to eat fried chicken racks, and their anxious mood was like a galloping horse, and they just wanted to rush back to the bureau as soon as possible and report what they saw and heard today to their superiors.
In the words of his old man: I have never heard of ghosts in this world, who has really seen the fuck? Now a living female ghost is hiding in that Qing Dynasty tomb, why don't you hurry back and shake people, and transfer his mother's five Italian cannons to celebrate the New Year for this female ghost? & her grandma, if my old man doesn't let her see the guys in our new China, I won't be surnamed Ma!
The old man was like eating two catties of deer antlers, and he was excitedly arranging troops all the way, but he saw that Lao Lu on the side was in a daze from beginning to end, and his heart was heavy. The old man's excitement was in stark contrast to Lao Lu's trance, and he said angrily: "What's the matter with Lao Lu, why aren't you excited at all?" Do you know what it means if we catch this ghost? To put it mildly, my deputy director and your professor's evaluation are just around the corner. Speaking bigger, we may be famous for eternity, and we will stay fragrant for thousands of years, do you believe it? Although it is impossible for our two avatars to appear on the RMB in this life, there is a high probability that they will appear on the next version of the dark coin, do you believe it? It's fucking exciting just thinking about it. My old Ma family has been cowardly for a lifetime, and I didn't want to shine in my old man's generation. If I write this letter and burn it to my ancestors under the Nine Springs, my grandfather will probably laugh in the coffin. ”
The white spit in the old man's mouth was like snowflakes, and the oil gauge of Kan's broken Santana lit up. But Lao Lu on the side still looked so preoccupied. The old man looked at his pestilence and death, but finally came to his senses, and patted his head: "I understand, Lao Lu, why do you look like you're dying, your kid's thoughts, you can hide it from the sky and the earth, but you can't hide it from my powerful old man." ”
The old man stabbed Lao Lu next to him with his elbow with a thief's eyebrows, obviously there were only two of them in the car, but he deliberately lowered his voice and smiled: "You kid wants to touch the porcelain of the unit, am I right?" Do you want to take advantage of the catastrophe between the two of us not to die, falsely report the work injury, and falsely accuse him of 180,000 yuan, maybe you can still get a small red flag, second-class merit, women's federation condolences or something, am I right? ”
Lao Lu didn't bother to pay attention to him at all.
He simply opened the window and lit a cigarette heavily.
The old face after the smoke filled the air, in addition to a touch of intriguing entanglement, occasionally flashed a trace of terrible coldness.
In less than four hours, the two's car finally arrived in Beijing and drove into the compound of the Hebei Provincial Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology. At this time, the sky was as dark as ink, and everyone in the unit was off work.
The old man looked at his watch, and it was exactly half past nine.
He said: "Lao Lu, or you go back first, I will fight all night tonight, and strive to write out in the form of a work report about what we have seen and heard in Lulong County today before dawn, if it goes well, we will have a meeting tomorrow morning to finalize this matter with Lao Wang and Lao Li, and let them go to the army to transfer Italian artillery at noon, if it is time, before noon the day after tomorrow, we can see the female ghost in the cage." ”
Lao Lu nodded: "Okay." ”
In the middle of the night, only the old man's office was lit by a faint lamp in the dark building. He was concentrating on writing a work report when he suddenly heard a strange sound of footsteps.
That's right, someone!
He couldn't help but get nervous.
He thought to himself, how could there be anyone in the middle of the night?
Who is it?
The old man cautiously pushed open the door, and the dark hallway was empty. He couldn't help frowning, could it be that he had heard it wrong? He turned to go back to the house, and at that moment, a sharp knife was held to his heart!
In the dark, the old man saw Lao Lu's face with the help of the faint light in the room!
The old man was shocked: "Old Lu, what are you doing?!" ”
Lao Lu shouted: "Old man, don't talk nonsense, give me the Living Dead Jade!" ”
