Chapter 21: The Luminous Gem
"Now you have come to the second exhibition hall - the 'spiritual immortality' exhibition hall, where you will see the holy relics of the world's three major religions, see the world's oldest Quran, the oldest Tao Te Ching, the oldest Bible Old Testament, the oldest portrait of Confucius, and will also see the world-famous diamond 'Eternal Heart', which represents eternal love."
As soon as you enter the door, a tall cross stands up, and there is nothing on it, and it is clear that this exhibition hall has something to do with the spiritual world of mankind, with religion, philosophy, and love.
"Now you see the resurrection cross, it is said that Jesus was resurrected on this cross, and later the archaeologists found this decaying cross in an accidental excavation, according to historical records, the archaeologists finally restored the cross and placed it in the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican. Under the Cross of the Resurrection is the oldest surviving Old Testament book in the world, which was placed in the temple in Jerusalem and is written in Hebrew as a sacred object of Judaism and Christianity. ”
"Placed on the diagonal opposite of the resurrection cross is the Buddha finger relic, this Buddha finger relic from the Famen Temple underground palace in Shaanxi, China, Famen Temple was built in the Eastern Han Dynasty, its underground palace is the oldest existing age, the largest, the highest level of the stupa underground palace, which is buried in the Tang Dynasty enshrined more than 2,000 pieces of the country's heavy vessels, of which this Buddha finger relics are the rarest, is the most likely to be the Buddha Shakyamuni real body relics are recorded in history. Legend has it that in the third century B.C., the third king of the Mauryan Dynasty in ancient India, Ashoka converted to Buddhism during his reign, in order to atone for his own war and kill and spread Buddhism to the world, Ashoka divided the relics of Shakyamuni into 84,000 parts, and sent them to all over the world to build pagodas to worship, one of which came to the Tang Dynasty and was enshrined by the central government at that time with the highest national etiquette. ”
"The Resurrection Cross and the Buddha's finger relics are placed in a triangle with the oldest surviving Qur'an, which was found in a small town in England and is said to have been brought back from Arabia during the Crusades. The wooden box containing this Qur'an is beautifully decorated, and the outer lid is inlaid with a thumb-sized green pearl of the night. Legend has it that a meteor shower erupted near Baghdad more than a thousand years ago, and one of the purple meteors was the most eye-catching, and later people found this night pearl in the desert near Baghdad according to the trajectory of this purple meteor. Yes, it's an extraterrestrial meteorite, and when it's dark, it glows a mysterious greenish glow. Later, local believers inlaid it in a wooden box to hold their sacred scriptures, believing that the meteorite had eternal magic and could keep the scriptures alive for all generations. At that time, the reason why the crusaders snatched this scripture was because they fell in love with this pearl of the night. Perhaps it is the eternal magic of the gemstone that has preserved this book to this day. ”
"Look at the center of this triangle surrounded by the world's three major religious relics, placed a huge blue diamond called the 'Eternal Heart', this diamond weighs 27.64 carats, in the shape of a heart, its value is very high, and the current price is about 20 million US dollars. Although it pales in value by the holy objects that surround it, it carries the greatest human emotion, which is love. Regardless of religion or ideology, what human beings ultimately want to express and advocate the most is the deepest and most sincere emotion in the human heart, that is, love! Love can be love, family affection, friendship, and even broad national emotions and natural emotions. Only love can travel through time, through civilizations, through time and space in the universe, and transmit the greatest power. ”
Seeing this, people stopped one after another, some began to circle non-stop, some people were worshipping Buddha finger relics, some people were praying under the cross, some people knelt directly on the ground and began to pray, and some people were obsessed with the magnificent brilliance of diamonds. And I stood motionless in front of the wooden box, lost in thought.
This legend is too charming, isn't this the purple meteor I was looking for, there have been 3 purple meteors recorded in history, I don't know if it includes one. And this is not only a purple meteor, but more importantly, it is not just a flash meteor, but also a mysterious meteorite.
The magical meteor shower, the rare purple meteor, and the mysterious noctilucent meteorite converged more than a thousand years ago, and today, more than a thousand years later, they converge again in City C, and finally locked me in this space-time cage. Although I didn't find the meteorite left behind by the purple meteor that left me in prison, a meteorite that might have been exactly the same was sitting in the display case in front of me.
God really helped me, I never dreamed that my incomprehensible breakthrough was magically presented in front of me, it was really nowhere to find it, and it took no effort to get it. Although I can't even confirm the relationship between the luminous meteorite and the space-time cage, I don't know how the luminous meteorite will help to break the space-time cage, change my bad situation, or how to unlock its most mysterious power beyond space-time.
I stared at this mysterious meteorite with a faint green light, as if time had stopped, as if there were only me and this meteorite left in the world. I have neglected all the rest of the people and exhibits, and I have ignored the passage of time.
I don't know how I should use this magical meteorite to open the door to time and space, and escape from the space-time cage. But a voice from the depths of my heart told me that I had to get it, that I had to get this meteorite anyway, that this could be my last chance to escape the fate of a prisoner, and that could be the key to the escape, even though I didn't even know how to use it.
Time passed quickly, and the number of people in the museum began to slowly decrease, and in this dimly lit museum, it was impossible to distinguish time, day and night.
"Citizens and friends who visit the exhibition should note that the museum will be closed at seven o'clock in the evening, and there is still 1 hour before the closure, please pay attention to the time of the visit, please leave the citizens and friends who have not visited in an orderly manner, please arrange the time for those who have not finished visiting, and you can continue to visit tomorrow."
I was pulled back to reality by this voice, it was not too early, the museum would be closed soon, should I leave with everyone.
I looked at the meteorite that glowed seductively and suddenly made a decision that I would stop at nothing to get it. I'm going to not leave the museum tonight, I'm going to steal this meteorite if I have the chance to do it tonight, and although everything will restart tomorrow, I need to get it, even for an hour, and I need to study the meteorite's superpowers.
Although I had robbed the bank, it was a small business hall with only the old and sick, and now I was in front of a large museum with a high level of security even higher than the vault. I am at a loss as to how to steal the meteorite, I may fail many, many times, but I will find the trick if I succeed once, this is a unique skill that God has given me, and I will rely on this invincible skill to accomplish this impossible task.
It's about to close, what should I do now? I had an idea, I went to the toilet, found a toilet and squatted, and waited quietly for the night to fall. I figured I'd test the security of the place tonight, and if I could find a flaw, I would be able to get my hands on the meteorite.
As the minutes passed, I squatted on the toilet lid while staring at the time with my mobile phone, my ears collecting the slightest sound from the outside world like a cat. I was amazed to find that there was no one to clean the toilet, it was like I had discovered a big bug.
In this way, there is a tense atmosphere in the toilet, and the water droplets leaking from the cracks of the water pipes fall rhythmically towards the pool, "ticking and ticking", making the whole world quiet. It was twelve o'clock in the evening, and I felt that there was no sound outside, and I felt that my time had come, at least I could go out and find out, and even if I was caught, I would be fine, and I could do it again tomorrow.
I cautiously opened the door to the toilet and quietly walked out of the toilet.
