Chapter 331: Stone Town (Part II)
Seeing an iron city from afar, I didn't feel strange in my heart. So I thought, although the outside is iron, the inside must be excellent.
Moving on, there is no jade girl to greet you.
And he thought: It seems that there must be a lot of joy in this city, so there is no time to welcome me. So he went ahead and entered the Iron City.
And there was a man at the gate who wore a wheel of fire on his head, and he put it on the head of the young man, and went out of his own way.
The boy asked the jailer next to him, "When will I take off the wheel of fire above my head?" And he answered him, There are men in the world who have done the same sins and blessings as thee. Go through the cities, and the same time will be the same, and then I can take your place. This iron wheel never falls to the ground.
The fat man asked slowly: "Buddha Jiayun karma, do you know what the young man has done, can he get such a blessing and criminal law?" ”
The fat man looked like a devout Buddhist, and his expression was a little overdone, but the reality told him that he was an extremely rational person.
The boy supported his mother with two dollars, so he got Liuli City, four wishful pearls, four jade girls, and enjoyed happiness in 40,000 years.
Because of the four coins for the mother, so the glass city, eight wishful beads, eight jade girls, 80,000 years old to enjoy happiness.
And so on, and the blessings are multiplied.
But because the boy disobeyed his mother's wishes and tore off his mother's hair, he got the retribution of the iron wheel.
This is the end of the story, but unfortunately the author of Stone Town did not finish this book, and the moral of the story lies in the children's service and support for their parents. But apparently the fat man's focus is not here.
Zhu Beichen also thought so, his nerves were still tense, and he asked vigilantly: "Karma and good fortune, borrowing the doctrinal scriptures to wake up the world." The story is good. ”
There are various indications that the ancient Loulan culture has a great relationship with witchcraft cultivation in the southeast, and it is also interpenetrated with the Buddhist culture from ancient India.
The fat man shook his head, and the serial ended with the sudden death of Stone Town, but the fat man discovered a lesser-known secret through this story.
"I had lung cancer, which was at an advanced stage. The doctor sentenced me to death half a year ago, and I have a year to live at most. The fat man frowned, revealing a sad expression, and his eyes were full of perseverance to survive.
The story of Stone Town gave him a reason to live, and when he linked to the ancient sand-buried city that he had been searching for, he was even more convinced that the two were actually pointing to the same place.
Myths, legends, Buddhist scriptures, and all kinds of bizarre stories that circulate in the records are often based on reality.
Although the description of the teenager's experience of thousands of years is strange, the information at hand of the fat man also shows that the people in the city have extraordinary medical technology that can surprisingly extend the life span of human beings.
This may be the so-called immortality!
At this point, under the fat man's emotional expression, there were faint tears on his face.
Sobbs flowed quietly in this silent night, "Do you understand how heavy a dying man's desire to survive is? In the next life, when you face the moment of life and death, you can understand how I feel now. Many times, as long as they can live, no one will think about dying. ”
Halfway through the conversation, I couldn't stop crying in the second half.
As long as you can live, you will not hesitate to eat human flesh.
The fat man has a great talent for oratory, and his eloquent expression also made Zhu Beichen almost moved.
Thinking that the fat man could deceive himself once and deceive him a second time, Zhu Beichen secretly reminded himself that no matter whether the story was true or not, he should be treated with twelve points of spirit.
"Are you saying that there is a cutting-edge life technology in the sand-buried ancient city left over from the Guloulan period, which can greatly extend the life span of human beings?"
Among the clues left over from history, the fat man discovered with superb wisdom and extraordinary research methods that there were twelve palaces in the sand-buried ancient city, among which there was a treasure house about the secret of human immortality. The people of Loulan call it: the Palace of Eternal Life.
On the contrary, the fat man also felt that Zhu Beichen's tone was quite ridiculous, how could a boy less than twenty years old, a child who had received a strict cultural education since childhood, understand the profound life science skills of the ancient ancestors.
Naturally, the refinement of the language described by the fat man is also due to reservations.
Even though the young man in front of him is scheming and knowledgeable compared to his peers, he still can't compete with the old fat man.
The fat man said: "I don't know much about that kind of craft, it seems that all kinds of clues show that the Guloulan people have mastered a profound scientific and technological civilization, not only advanced knowledge of biological life systems, but also superb achievements in other aspects." My purpose is simple, I just need to find a chance to continue my life. ”
It seems that he is also a devout Buddhist, and he speaks with the word "chance".
In this way, he entered the tomb of the sun, and did not hesitate to risk his way here, intending to fight, because his time was short.
Why is it so similar to himself, Zhu Beichen smiled bitterly, relaxed his hand, and sat back in place.
"Tell me about it." Zhu Beichen asked.
"What?" The fat man said.
"The legend of Stone Town, and the secret of immortality." History is like a vast cloud of smoke, fleeting, and the older the age, the more scarce and precious the materials left for future generations to refer to. Zhu Beichen thought that he could restore part of the history from the bits and pieces of historical materials, and even build an ancient city that might not exist at all, which is simply a fantasy.
The facts that actually unfolded in front of him made him have to believe what the fat man said, otherwise he would not be able to explain the huge construction of the Sun Tomb and the inexplicable space they were in now.
In other words, if the sand-buried ancient city exists, then the legendary ancient book also exists. Is there really a record of the mystery of immortality in the vast and terrifying technological civilization recorded in ancient books?
The more I think about it, the closer I feel to the truth, the kind of immortal technology that the fat man is looking for is very likely to be recorded in the "Emperor's Book of Heaven". Zhu Beichen's eyes were slightly dewed, staring at the fat man and listening intently.
"It starts with my job." The fat man leisurely poked out a cigarette, went up to find the lighter, and finally could only helplessly put the cigarette in his mouth to satisfy his hunger.
Fat Man is a librarian, and his best job on weekdays is to organize books and documents.
Later, because of the embarrassment of life, he started to rob tombs.
Because I came into contact with a lot of miscellaneous books in my daily life, and read through the I Ching Qimen Bagua and other related books, and the division of the tomb is closely related to Feng Shui, it is quite handy to start this business.
"I can find a tomb based on a book, which not many people have." The fat man raised his eyebrows proudly with a cigarette in his mouth. Because of his ability to find tombs, he later formed a small gang, and he was responsible for the work of finding tombs.
