Chapter 63: Transformation (4)

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

I left the basement, and although the walk from the basement to the outside was short, it was a difficult walk for me. I just felt like my whole body was getting heavy, as if something was pressing on my chest, or my throat was being choked by something, and I couldn't breathe.

I took out half of the cigarette from my pocket and put it in my mouth, but I couldn't find the fire for a long time, I sighed and flicked the cigarette butt away.

I was going through a situation that ordinary people couldn't understand, everyone became so strange in front of me, even including my father who had raised me for many years, or, now, I can only call him Fan Jiyun.

But I knew I had to make a choice, between emotion and reason. I found that in this overall situation, there is no distinction between good and evil, justice and evil, everyone is acting according to their own code of conduct, and everyone is seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages.

I'm not cold-blooded, but I also have to think for myself, because I don't want to be at the mercy of a pawn anymore.

I walked out of the basement, and the sunlight outside was a bit harsh. Blue sky and white clouds, birds singing and flowers, after a whole cold winter baptism, all things come to life, isn't this also the reincarnation of all things. I smelled the fragrance in the air and felt the warmth of the sun, but I was worried, scared, and cringed. At that moment, I suddenly felt that the sky had turned gray, like a huge shroud over my world's head. The birds were harsh, the sun was scorching, and I felt like I was retreating, and for a moment I wanted to retreat to the basement and stay there forever. But I know that escaping is never the answer.

I walked to the garden of the villa and found Zhang Hefang standing on the lawn pacing back and forth, his expression calm and calm. Seeing me walk out, he showed an approachable smile and said, "Finished talking?" ”

I nodded silently.

"What are you going to do now?" Zhang Hefang asked.

"I want to talk to you." I walked up to Zhang Hefang and said with an expressionless face.

"Okay, I'll be waiting for you." Zhang Hefang still said politely: "Why don't we go into the house and say, while drinking some tea and smoking a cigarette, it's not bad, what do you say?" ”

I said coldly, "Let's go." ”

The rooms in the villa are large, the furniture is very traditional style, and Zhang Hefang and I sit on two rattan chairs. Zhang Hefang handed me a box of cigars and said they were made in Cuba. I said I couldn't get used to smoking, so he switched to cigarettes.

Neither of us spoke first and was smoking cigarettes on our own. After a while, the maid at home brought two bowls of herbal tea. I deeply enjoyed the narcotic sensation of the cigarette, and as I watched the smoke rise, I tried to clear my mind so that I could be more organized in a momentary conversation.

Finally, I snuffed out my cigarette, took a sip of herbal tea, and asked, "When did you first find me?" ”

"After your father went to Azina's Miao Village." Zhang He said.

"You know Ashena too?" I asked.

"It's all Nanwu people, and I've heard of it somewhat," Zhang Hefang replied.

I was a little surprised and said, "Ashuna is also from Nanwu?" ”

"That's nature." Zhang Hefang explained: "You should also know that although the people of the Southern Witch Group are not all composed of wizards, wizards still account for the vast majority of them."

"So, you're at her disposal?"

Zhang Hefang shook his head and said, "I don't obey anyone, I am the head of my branch." You must know that Nanwu Group is not like an organization, it is a complete and holistic organizational model, we are a scattered group of people, but we have the same purpose, so the people who are organized are called Nanwu Group. ”

"Your so-called common purpose is to wake up that person, right?"

Zhang Hefang nodded.

"Why are you doing that? Is this your mission? Or is it something else. "That's one of my biggest doubts.

Zhang Hefang shook his head, took a sip of herbal tea, and said, "It's not a matter of mission, we just think that now is the best time for reincarnation to restart." ”

I smiled helplessly and said, "What have you been talking about the restart of reincarnation, what do you mean by reincarnation?" ”

"Maybe you won't believe me." Zhang Hefang said: "The restart of this reincarnation is not for one person, but for the civilization system of the entire world. ”

I was stunned, "What do you mean?" ”

Zhang Hefang smiled patiently and explained to me: "In modern society, wizards are almost regarded as gods, that is, charlatans. The Nanwu Group has always existed in a very secret form, and among the many great witches in the Nanwu Group, there is such a legend - all civilizations in this world, after a certain period of time, must be completely pushed, all data is completely cleared, and human society starts again, repeatedly, and never stagnates. ”

"Push all civilizations to rebuild?" Puzzled, I asked, "Why is that?" I have seen those stone murals in the underground palace in Yunnan, and the 'person' you are talking about, it is precisely because of his appearance that the ancient Dian Kingdom quickly obtained complete smelting technology and finally became dominant. You say you want to restart reincarnation and make all the civilizations in the world come back again. However, if you wake up that 'person', he or she may help the further development of human civilization, isn't it a contradiction? ”

"No, you're wrong." Zhang Hefang retorted to me mercilessly and said, "Mr. Fan, let me ask you a question, you don't need to think too much, just rely on your own judgment to answer. ”

"Okay, you ask."

"Do you think that the development of human civilization can develop into what it is today as long as time goes by?" Zhang Hefang asked me with a smile in his eyes.

"Isn't that so?" I asked rhetorically.

"Hehe, then you're very wrong." Zhang Hefang said: "The development of human civilization and history is definitely not dependent on time or the continuous development of human intelligence to achieve today's achievements. In ancient and modern times, in China and abroad, whether in the East or in the West, there will always be one or two sudden earth-shaking changes in the development of human civilization. To cite a few of the simplest examples, China's Guyong civilization, Liangzhu civilization, Hongshan civilization, etc., the rapid advance of Greek civilization in the West and the huge wave of the industrial revolution. Although the vast majority of stupid historians in mankind will always have such and such blunt explanations for this, they still can't change the suddenness of this explosive development of civilization, have you ever wondered why? ”

"Before entering the Yunnan Underground Palace, I never thought about such a thing, but since I saw those stone murals, I did think about this question, perhaps, the entire human civilization is not created by all mankind, but only a few scattered people." I said it truthfully.

"You're right." Zhang Hefang said: "In the eyes of our Nanwu Group, it is called the 'node' of civilization, which is the bottleneck period of the development of human civilization. In other words, this 'node' will never be able to break through with the strength of individual human beings, even if it has passed hundreds of years, thousands of years, tens of thousands of years, it will still not break through, and human civilization will only be biased towards detailed development, but there will be no substantial changes, that is, no matter how much is accumulated, without a suitable opportunity, qualitative change will never come. And that 'person', he is the key to breaking through the node, he is the opportunity.

"I think you must have seen a lot of books that are full of unsolved mysteries, for example, human beings discovered screws thousands of years ago, and some ancient technical processes, which modern people can't do at that time. Human beings are always wondering how the ancients made these things thousands of years ago with extreme lack of technology, but they are all wrong, because the technical level of the ancients may be far superior to that of modern people, but after they have experienced the baptism of reincarnation civilization, everything has returned to zero and started again. ”

"No, no, no," I interrupted, "I still don't understand, why do you do this?" Is that 'man' crazy? He worked hard to teach mankind all kinds of technologies to help human civilization break through quickly when it encountered a 'node', but after thousands of years, he reappeared and pushed everything before to start all over again, isn't it a neurosis. ”

Zhang Hefang raised his eyes to look at me, his gaze was very deep, and he said to me lightly: "Reincarnation is not a day when it does not stop. No one knows how long the Wu Sect, that is, the 'man', has existed in the world, but one thing is for sure, he has made human civilization go through many reincarnations. ”

"Why would he do that?"

"He's trying." Zhang Hefang explained: "He is trying to make the best civilization system. ”

"The 'man' you speak of is just like God." I said.

"Wu Zong is a god-like existence." Zhang Hefang said straightforwardly: "However, I don't think he is a god or a god, I think he is more like a monster, he (she) has no compassion, he (she) exists in a form that is beyond human beings." ”

"So, what is the best civilization system?" I asked.

"All things are equal, and man and nature coexist in harmony." Zhang Hefang replied.

"Haha." I laughed, "It sounds a bit like a green PSA. ”

"However, this is indeed the biggest problem facing human civilization." Zhang Hefang said: "I think Yuan Ye should have told you about the rise and fall of witch culture. Ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, all religious spells, originated from the witch culture in various places, it seems that the witch culture is very strong, but in fact, the witch culture is quite fragile. For example, Taoism was born out of witchcraft, and although it also emphasizes the equality of all things, Taoists prefer to use magic and feng shui to let the forces of nature be used for their own selfish interests. The basis of the existence of witch culture is the concept of animism, and once human civilization develops to a certain extent, human beings will want to become the master of nature, and try to make nature for their own use, the concept of animism and equality of all things has been impacted and destroyed, and the decline of witch culture has become inevitable.

"When the human civilization almost destroys everything, in order to save the world, the Wu Sect will appear, quickly push to this failed civilization, and let the human civilization start anew, until it can create a perfect world."

"This ...... Possibly. "I'm not convinced.

Zhang Hefang said: "The mountains look up, the scenery stops, although you can't get there, but you yearn for it." ”

"Well," I said, "but what does that have to do with me?" ”

"No, awakening the Wu Sect is not just about you, you are only one piece of the puzzle, this matter is related to the six people, you can call them coffin bearers, or you can call them the Six Emperors or Liuhe Attendants. And you, you are one of them. ”
