Chapter 567: The Arctic Ice Wall
Thinking through this layer, Lin Xuan nodded heartily and sighed: "Your Excellency really chose the right place. β
This phrase is both a compliment and a sarcasm.
The world's top seed bank is built for the continuation of human life, and its design, construction and maintenance are fully controlled by the United Nations and the Norwegian government. However, if a few people turn it into a doomsday shelter, then the building has completely changed its taste, and is filled with the copper stench of the privileged.
Jiang Xiren thought for a while, as if he was thinking about something, and then slowly spoke: "What do you know?" Most of the world's billions of people are just ants at the feet of giants. Since the masses are ants, why do the few elites need to understand what they want to do? For example, in a building, what really plays a supporting role is only the foundation and the roof beams and columns, and those wall skins, wall tiles, wallpaper, embossed tiles and tiles are just superfluous decorations. When the catastrophe comes, it is better to save the lives of 100 million ants than to save an elite. β
Lin Xuan nodded: "What Your Excellency said is exactly the truth in Chinese that 'the skin will not exist, and the hair will be attached', but ants also have the right to survive on their own, don't they?" β
The elite cannot annihilate humanity because of its own uniqueness, put aside the life and death of the same kind, or even exchange the death of a large number of the same kind for its own life.
There are too many such examples in World War I and World War II, which ultimately proved that the power of the people is strong, and it is impossible for any elite to trample on the people and ascend to the throne of hegemony.
"Ants? Survive? Power? What a ridiculous and pedantic theory? You're so useless. In the whole world, only Wei is really qualified to talk to me, and everyone else is a gutless rat. Even if it's just the two of us, we can create the brightest future! After Jiang Xiren finished speaking, he suddenly turned around and wanted to leave the range of the holographic projection.
In the course of such a remote conversation, neither party can restrict the movement of the other. If Jiang Xiren leaves, maybe this communication will be completely over.
Lin Xuan saw something beside Jiang Xiren at that moment, and blurted out: "Big ten thousand words? β
Patterns can appear anywhere in the world, but the only one that can be called a "big swastika" is the one that is naturally formed halfway up Mount Kailash.
Shenshan had left Lin Xuan with too many sad memories, so he was already extremely sensitive to that pattern.
Now, that pattern was somewhere behind Jiang Xiren, at the height of Lin Xuan's line of sight.
Lin Xuan immediately thought: "Jiang Xiren's previous life was a hidden master of Rongbu Temple, not far from Mount Kailash, of course he will have his own understanding of the Great Ten Thousand Characters of the Sacred Mountain, and it is understandable to bring the Great Ten Thousand Characters picture with him." Is he working on it? What progress will he make in his research on it in both lifetimes? Since he has never forgotten the study of the Great Ten Thousand Characters of the Sacred Mountain in his two lifetimes, what does the Great Ten Thousand Words mean to human beings? β
Mount Kailash is recognized as a sacred mountain in the world and is also recognized as the center of the world by Hinduism, Tibetan Buddhism**, the original religion of Bon and ancient Jainism. Lin Xuan had seen the famous "Great Swastika Grid" in his dreams more than onceβa Buddhist swastika composed of a huge ice trough and a horizontal rock formation from the top of the peak. It is a sign of spiritual power in Buddhism, which means that the Dharma is eternal, and represents auspiciousness and protection. In the minds of the lamas and monks, the Buddha once turned here, and now there are still 500 arhats living here, which is the most special Foshan ashram, and it is also the Desi Snow Mountain and Sumeru Mountain recorded in the Buddhist scriptures. During the Zhangzhung Bon period in the pre-Buddhist era, Kailash was known as the "Ninefold (Wan) Character Mountain", and according to legend, 360 deities of Yongzhong Bon lived here, and the patriarch Dumba Sinlang (Lucky Rao Miwo Nyorai Buddha) descended from the sky, and this mountain is the place where he landed. In Jainism, which emerged in the 5th century BCE, Gangrinpoqi is known as "Ashtabada", the highest mountain, where the founder of Jainism, Rishabhana, attained liberation.
Because of this, all the excavators in Tibet who are qualified to "excavate" regard the "sacred mountain" as the first choice for finding hidden masters, because many "quasi-hidden masters" who are ignorant of the thoughts in their minds will be driven by their subconscious to rush to the "sacred mountain" to make a pilgrimage to seek a way to solve the puzzle of thought.
"Could it be that the Divine Mountain opened the hiding in Jiang Xiren's mind? The same is true of the previous life and this one? There were more and more questions in Lin Xuan's heart, so much so that he was dizzy and unable to continue thinking.
"You know what? What did you say? What do you know? Jiang Xiren turned around and asked three times in a row.
The meaning of the three questions is similar, but the tone is pretentious, and when it comes to "what do you know", Jiang Xiren's attitude has become extremely kind.
Lin Xuan silently stood on tiptoe, stretched out his palms, and gently curled up from his fingertips to palms, repeating three times to calm the excitement in his heart.
He knew very well that his words just now could lead Jiang Xiren to turn back, and he had already hit the other party's point.
"Tell me, what do you know?" Jiang Xiren asked again.
"The sacred mountain is ten thousand words, and the snow-capped mountain crack goes straight to somewhere." Lin Xuan replied succinctly.
Jiang Xiren fell silent, and then suddenly ordered: "You turn on all the lights in the room - no, there is a button under the armrest of the chair on your left hand, press it three times." β
Lin Xuan reached under the armrest of the chair, found the switch the size of a bean, and gently pressed it three times.
A pillar of light shot down from overhead, enveloping him and the chair.
This pillar of light was exactly the same color as the pillar of light that enveloped Jiang Xiren, Lin Xuan could guess that he was also in the holographic projection system at this moment, and the real image had been delivered to the super seed bank to talk to Jiang Xiren face-to-face.
"Young man, I guess, you don't know a lot of things, only a few scratches of the surface. The sacred mountain of Mount Kailash has existed for hundreds of millions of years, and the big 10,000 characters have also existed for eternity with the standing of the mountain, and everyone in the world can see it. But what does that mean? Jiang Xiren asked slowly.
Lin Xuan asked rhetorically: "Master Jiang, you have a picture of the Divine Mountain hanging behind you, not necessarily just for viewing, right?" β
Jiang Xiren was stunned for a moment, and immediately asked, "Photo?" Where do I get any photos here? β
Lin Xuan immediately replied: "I just saw that when you turned around, there was a picture of the Divine Mountain hanging on the wall. β
The two were stunned after a quick conversation, and Lin Xuan didn't look like Jiang Xiren's expression was lying, that is, there were indeed no photos in the room where the other party was.
"Did you really see that?" Jiang Xiren asked.
Lin Xuan nodded solemnly before he replied clearly word by word: "I swear, I really saw it." β
Jiang Xiren closed his eyes, pondered for at least a minute, opened his eyes suddenly, and waved his hand to order: "Activate the mechanism, let Mr. Lin see the work we have done." β
Soon, the scene behind Jiang Xiren quickly expanded, and it turned out to be a spacious construction site, and scaffolding drilling machines and wires could be seen everywhere. Many workers in thickened overalls are busy, constantly measuring and marking lines on a high white wall.
Lin Xuan had already known before that Jiang Xiren was inside the super seed bank on a remote island in Norway, and the ground was full of permafrost, which was harder than ice. Looking at the scene, it seems that the workers are planning to destroy the high wall.
"Where does that wall belong? Do you thinkβ"
Lin Xuan only said this, and was interrupted by Jiang Xiren's wave: "Young man, don't underestimate our IQ, thinking that we are going to cut through the protective wall of the seed bank and steal the seeds inside. I can tell you that this wall does not belong to any one country, and all these workers' tools and equipment are authorized to me by the management of the seed bank to open the wall. We are acting completely legally to maximize the security of the seed bank. β
In fact, Lin Xuan was halfway through speaking, and he already realized that his thoughts were a little ridiculous.
Seeds are sometimes more precious than gold, because they can grow food on fertile soil, solve the food crisis of people on earth, and allow all living things to survive. Compared to cold gold, it is a necessity of human life. However, it is not gold after all, and there is no point in digging through the wall and stealing seeds.
"Is there anything weird about that wall?" Lin Xuan asked.
Jiang Xiren looked at Lin Xuan with a smile and was not in a hurry to answer.
In that scenario, there really wasn't a place to hang the picture, and the picture of Mount Kinabalu had nothing to do with the Arctic ice wall, so there was no reason to hang it there.
Lin Xuan didn't ask again, because he could think that if he asked again, Jiang Xiren might not be able to tell the truth.
"Young man, it's a pity, it's a pity!" Jiang Xiren sighed, "You don't have the same spirit of exploration as Mr. Wei, if it was him who saw this ice wall now, he would definitely ask me three questions right awayββ"
Lin Xuan calmed down, sat down steadily, and waited for Jiang Xiren to talk to himself.
The night was dark, and there was a dead silence in the Wei Mansion, only two strange pillars of light lit up in this study.
Lin Xuan didn't feel tired, but he was full of doubts about the ice wall.
Facing Jiang Xiren, he suddenly felt that he had a new understanding of the identity of "hidden master".
In the eyes of many Tibetan experts, it is generally believed that the "hidden master" belongs to the type of "good", and it is believed that when the senior monks and great masters are looking for someone as a "hidden thought", they will definitely investigate and select for a long time, until they are convinced that it is a person of noble character, and then they will convey their thoughts to the other person's brain and seal them forever.
Now, Lin Xuan thought that that view must be wrong, because the sly gaze that occasionally flashed in Jiang Xiren's eyes told him all the time-"This is a person with deep thoughts and extreme deceit. β
Jiang Xiren finally couldn't hold his breath anymore, and continued with a smirk: "Which three questions? For one, he would ask if the ice wall was related to the former Soviet Institute of Heavy Weapons under the ice cap of the Arctic Circle. Second, he asks, is that the legendary alien grave? Third, he will ask, is that the entrance to the magnetic blockade line of the North and South Pole - that is, the 'unseen abyss' where the previous generation of earthlings disappeared? β
