Chapter 193: Purpose
Facing the harsh question of the oil lamp monk, Gu Nianxia, who was standing on the side, said coldly: "Old man, this boring mutual temptation will end here." If you really suspect something, how can you ask it in person? ”
The oil lamp monk said lightly: "Little girl, you are right, although there is a "political competition" relationship between our 749 Bureau and your Unsolved Mystery Research Institute, if you want to say that you have secretly betrayed the country, the old man will never believe it. ”
Gu Nianxia's face was as black as an avocado that had been placed for three years, he just wanted to explain his gender issue, but was interrupted by me, and I asked the oil lamp monk in a serious tone: "Old man, since you don't doubt our political position in your heart, why don't you open your hearts?" As the saying goes, "many friends have many paths", so if you tell us more about "ancestral roots", maybe we can also help. ”
The oil lamp monk said, "Young man, if you want to know anything, just ask......
Since the oil lamp monk said this, then I naturally didn't hide it, so I asked him: "Old man, there is something I don't understand very well, since our academician Chen Jianguo of the Chinese Academy of Sciences believes that "ancestral roots" are the culprits in limiting the lifespan of all things, then why not use the country's strength to "capture it alive"?" Wouldn't it be better to bring this thing back to Beijing for study? How could it be allowed to plague the people in the Meili Snow Mountain? ”
Pudding Mei continued to ask: "The third child is right, do you remember, at that time, we only used a dead rabbit to lure out the ancestral root, which shows that this ancestral root's IQ is not high, as long as we set a trap again, why is it difficult to capture it alive?" I've seen the true face of Zugen, and I admit that it's really big, but in the final analysis, it's only about 100 meters, and if you send an army out of the army, you won't have nothing to do with it, right? ”
After listening to our words, the oil lamp monk immediately burst out laughing, and the laughter was exactly the same as when my infertile aunt heard about the country's open two-child policy, and others were confused. At this time, the monk who only listened to the oil lamp suddenly suppressed his laughter, and said with a sharp look in his eyes: "About 100 meters? Hehehe, young man, little girl, if this is the case, then Zugen would have been captured alive a long time ago. ”
I was stunned and asked, "Is it more than 100 meters?" ”
The oil lamp monk sighed: "The black tree root you see is only the tip of the iceberg of the whole picture of the "ancestral root", and it is not even a hair. The volume of the ancestral roots is not calculated in "meters", but in "square kilometers". ”
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be shocked!
The oil lamp monk continued: "What is the essence of a seemingly peaceful plant? In fact, we humans don't know anything about "them" at all. We protect them, we plant them, we cherish them, we treat them as landscapes, partners, symbiotic coexistence, and yet we have been deceived, and all of humanity has been deceived. Who can believe that we will die, that we will die, and it is thanks to them! Do you want to know how big is Zugen? Hehe, let me put it this way, seven years ago we used sonar technology to generalize the detection of it, but we found that the volume of the "ancestral root" was ...... Far more than Meili Snow Mountain! ”
The crowd exclaimed, "What?!" ”
The Lamp Monk did not speak, but responded to us with silence.
The old man was sweating profusely and said, "I didn't expect such a terrible thing in the world, it seems that we humans really underestimate these inconspicuous plants." This reminds me of the "story of moso bamboo", which only grows 3 centimeters in four years, but in the fifth year, it can suddenly grow at a terrifying rate of half a meter a day, and in the blink of an eye, it becomes a towering tree. This is because the first four years of moso bamboo are "quietly rooted", in order to absorb more nutrients in the soil, moso bamboo will its "roots" quietly grow hundreds of square meters of huge, if these "roots" are connected together, it is several kilometers long, and there are still many people in the society to take the phenomenon of moso bamboo as "chicken soup for the soul", to educate people to be like moso bamboo to take root in their own roots, but no one has ever thought about what is the essence behind this terrible phenomenon......
The oil lamp monk said: "You are right, we humans seem to know everything, know everything. But whether it's a plant, an ancestral root, or this world, in fact we don't know anything about the truth. Our 749 Bureau studies the "ancestral roots", and the meaning behind it is not only a question of eternal life, but also a question of the root of this world. Obviously, Zugen is by no means a product of natural evolution, and this kind of divine object must have been deliberately placed here by "someone". ”
I was stunned, "You mean the Creator?" ”
The oil lamp monk shook his head: "I don't know, that's why I came to study." Over the years, I have infiltrated the tombs of countless emperors and generals as a tomb robber, trying to find out the whereabouts of "Zugen" through some ancient books and documents that have not yet been discovered by the world, even if it is only a little bit. Ten years ago, I finally found it in Tibet. ”
At this time, Pudding suddenly interrupted our conversation, and she asked the oil lamp monk, "Old man, there is a question that has been bothering me since I came here. Just now you said that the real "ancestral root" is even larger than the Meili Snow Mountain, which means that even our unsolved mystery research institute has nothing to do with it. So why did you go to the trouble of bringing us here? What exactly is your purpose? It won't be just for popular science, right? ”
The oil lamp monk was silent for a moment and nodded admiringly. He said, "Little girl, you are very smart. You're right, Zugen is not something I can handle, and it's not something you can handle. I've gone to great lengths to bring you here, and I don't want to ask you for such a favor. ”
Feng Erbiao said to the oil lamp monk: "Old man, since everyone has made it clear, you can just say it." Don't worry, you saved the lives of the third child and Pudding, that is our benefactor, as long as you open your mouth, we will definitely help if you can help. ”
The oil lamp monk pointed to the old man: "This is busy...... Only he can help. ”
I frowned and said, "Old man? ”
The oil lamp monk nodded: "That's right." ”
The old man asked, "How can I help?" ”
The oil lamp monk said: "There is something strange in this Guiru Temple, I found a mysterious ancient text at the bottom of a water tank in the temple, I can't understand these words, but I can guarantee that this text must be related to "Zugen"! ”
