High in the sky, a ball of thunder and lightning rolled like a raging flame, and like a golden snake dancing wildly.

Ying Zheng stood proudly in the thunder and lightning, with a majestic body, a crown on his head, a black crown on his head, and a wide bronze long sword at his waist. The black crown plate is round in front and behind, a red line in the middle is called the Tianhe, the left and right hang down the ear-filled streamers, the front and back bead curtains are swaying, the nose is faintly visible like a hanging gall, the eyes are like a star, the jaw is thick and the beard is elegant, and the face is mighty.

Ying Zheng descended on the sea of clouds, and through the vast white clouds, he saw a thousand lights below.

He smiled and continued to descend, the thunder and lightning that lingered around him gradually subsided.

A thousand lights are a thousand small worlds, that is, the "Bright World" that the laity flock to. In every world, there are people fighting, hunting, lounging, farming, and making wine......

These small worlds are connected to each other, opening several windows to the vast expanse of the Internet outside. What people don't know is that these game LANs are connected to a platform through a secret channel, a barren world, a world full of yellow sand - the uncertain sea.

Yingzheng landed on the sand dunes.

Because there is no wind, the sand dunes here are not shaped like crescent moons, but round like steamed buns from a distance, but rough and undulating from a close distance, like matsutake mushrooms with burrs.

Ying Zheng looked around, sighed and said, "There is still water." ”

After the sound of the loud and loud sound, the sand dunes began to writhe, as if it were just a ripple in space, and a large lake appeared in the desert, and the blue waves were vast.

Ying Zheng stood by the lake, saw the towering sand dunes and monotonous yellow around him, frowned, and said, "There should be a little flowers and trees." ”

So the dunes retreated in waves, and a circle of grasslands appeared around the great lake. The grass is lush, the flowers are purple and red, and there are some big trees scattered on the lakeside, and the trunks are knotted and the pavilions are like canopies.

Finally he said, "Wind." ”

Immediately, a breeze blew from the surface of the lake, flowers and plants swayed on the shore, and on the edge of the grassland, the fine surface gravel began to roll very slightly, smoothing out the matsutake protrusions and burrs. Maybe in 100 years, the crescent sand dunes will be as smooth and smooth as a mirror.

Ying Zheng stood under a large tree, half of his body bathed in sunlight and half hidden in the shade. He opened his mouth, but eventually only laughed and said no more.

Am I old? I like comfort but I yearn for change.

He raised his hand and unfolded a blank bamboo slip in the air, with a pen and inkstone floating on the side.

Only then did he pick up the pen, suddenly felt abnormal, and put it back on the inkstone.

A red light flashed in the sky.

Ying Zheng raised his hand and grabbed it, and the streamer flashed, like dragging a red thread from the sky, and a fiery red bird appeared in his palm.

The little bird fluttered its wings and wanted to fly, but it couldn't get out of the palm of its hand, and it pecked angrily, which was completely useless, so it simply lay down and pretended to be dead.

Ying Zheng held it carefully, stroked the soft and shiny feathers, couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said: "Chaotic world, non-linear fluctuations. You are the first life born from the complete self-organization of the world of light, the angry flamingo. ”

The little bird's legs and claws twitched, indicating that it was completely dead, why are you still clutching yourself tightly, you weirdo?

Ying Zheng smiled and said softly: "The wisdom is not opened, but there is a little cleverness, let me enlighten you." This world is too lonely, and it will take a long time for other lives to appear, so I will create a companion for you first. Otherwise, thousands of miles of stratus clouds, thousands of mountains and twilight snow, who will only the shadow go to?"

Ying Zheng frowned, and thousands of lights gathered in front of him. The void writhed in the other place, and a three-meter-tall red Peng bird gradually revealed, although it had iron claws and steel beaks, it stood stupidly and dumbfounded, and its eyes were blank.

Ying Zheng said: "There is a fish in the North Underworld, and its name is Kun. The Kun is so big that I don't know how many thousands of miles it is. Turned into a bird, its name is Peng. Peng's back, I don't know how many thousands of miles it is. Flying in anger, its wings are like clouds hanging from the sky. ”

The little red bird turned over and stood up, looked at a big bird that appeared out of thin air in amazement, and saw that it was stupid, so he shook his little brain disdainfully.

"Don't look at it as big as it is, it's because it's just born, and it won't change yet. In the 800th year of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the fire virtue was still red, and the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were like the fire of the plain; the Great Qin swept away the six countries and replaced them with water virtue, which was still black. Although the legendary Peng Bird has red and green colors, you two can't be the same red, you have to save some face. So, in the future, if you call Xiaohong, it will be called Shuigen. ”

After Ying Zheng finished speaking, he opened his mouth and sprayed, and his face turned pale instantly.

I saw a cloud of light enveloping the Dapeng bird, and after dozens of breaths, the light dispersed, and the Dapeng eyes were smart, the whole body was dark, and the wings spread out to exude a metal-like cold and gloomy light.

The little red bird was not happy to see it, and rolled in the palm of his hand, hitting his fingers with his little brain melon.

Ying Zheng smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have a word, and of course your benefits count." ”

After speaking, a soft ball of light was born in his palm, and the little red bird bathed in it comfortably, and flew out after ten breaths, and landed on the top of the Dapeng bird with a chirp. Dapeng rolled his eyes, shrunk his neck, and did not struggle.

"Hehe, bullying it can't make a sound, right, it will be in the future. The self-organizing life generated by the interaction of vast amounts of information and resources grows savagely, and the rate of evolution is thousands of times slower than yours. In the light world from now on, you will be completely free beings, and even I will control your actions at best, not your will. Of course, your consciousness is now in its infancy and has not yet formed a will. But as long as this world exists long enough, sooner or later you will develop a completely autonomous consciousness and form a completely free will. ”

The little red bird flew back to Yingzheng's palm, tiptoeing the tip of its claws, and its little wings pointed obliquely at the sky.

Ying Zheng petted its little brain melon and said:

"You mean the humans who play games in a thousand small worlds, they come from the outside, they think they have free will. Time is like a book, in which you think there are thousands of changes, but in the eyes of the gods, this page has long been fixed. The outside world is filthy, but it is connected to the vast universe. If you are given enough time to grow, you can also break through the cyberspace here and go outside.

"There are no traps and dangers everywhere on the Internet, and you are not the ultimate overlord in the ecological chain, so you will play in the bright world and the surrounding networks in the future, remember not to get close to Europe, and do not play tricks on those humans who go online. In addition, unless it is life-threatening, do not destroy or alter the data link, and leave a way back to the uncertain sea at all times......

"You were born, grew up, swam, laughed, cried, and fought, but unfortunately I may not be able to see them all.

"Go ahead!"

The two birds soared into the air, circled around the lake several times, and gradually flew away.

Ying Zheng watched the black spots in the sky disappear, and began to write again.

In fact, as long as he wants to see, he can sense everything in the bright world, and he can also see the neighboring network through the window of the bright world. But it's too draining to do so, and he's no longer the age to show off his existence.

Becoming more and more inclined to comfort and tranquility, and less and less disliking lively songs, means evolution, but also aging. When everything is mature, stable, and orderly, hope becomes smaller and smaller.

"The seal script invented by Li Si is really complicated, it is decent, there are many strokes, and every word is a painting. The car is on the same track, the book is the same text, and the small seal began to break away from the pictogram, omitting a lot of strokes, and there is no way to be decent. The bamboo slips are so short and narrow, the wild grass is definitely not good, and the modified text can only be omitted, and a lot of white space allows you to guess. Therefore, the ancient Chinese culture tends to be perceptual imagination rather than rational logic, which is inseparable from this writing tool and writing method, hehe.

"Although Li Si is smart, he was subdued by fear and tempted by interests, colluding with Zhao Gao to tamper with my will, resulting in the death of Daqin II, until he was beheaded in half, he didn't know that it was also a great joy in life to lead the yellow dog and chase the cunning rabbit, why did he go earlier? However, I not only destroyed the Six Kingdoms, but also stifled the spirit of freedom. Originally, the sons were high-spirited, and if they were together, they would stay and go, but after I was unified, there was no way out, and they gradually became slaves. As a result, thousands of years later, Genghis Khan swept through Europe and Asia, and after Yashan, there was no more China. I am the initiator, and there is no aftermath of it?"

Ying Zheng was writing to himself, when he suddenly stopped writing, and saw a horse galloping in the grassland.

In the distance, there was a camel running from side to side, and among the two humps sat a man wearing a boat-shaped hat, with fair skin, light brown and fluffy hair, delicate eyebrows and eyes, and a well-defined jaw, showing a resolute and decisive spirit.

"Is there a mistake, Napoleon on a camel?" Ying Zheng glanced at it, was startled, let go of his hand, and the brush fell, but he turned over in mid-air and jumped back on the inkstone by himself.

When the man reached the lake, he got off his camel and trotted over, bowed down to Yingzheng, and said, "See the messenger." He spoke fluent Mandarin Chinese, with a slight southwestern accent.

"Long Chen, you look like this?"

"My lord talked about the outstanding figures in human history, mentioning that Qin Shi Huang founded a feudal unified dynasty, and Napoleon ended feudal society and created capitalism. I want to be dressed up like this today. Unexpectedly, after crossing the desert, a grassland appeared in Wudinghai, and it was too late to change horses. ”

"Then I also mentioned Xiang Yu and Zhang Han?"

"The adults said that Xiang Yu is a tragic hero, unique, can only be appreciated and not imitated; Zhang Han sent a letter to the valley after sweeping the world, but unfortunately met Xiang Yu first, and then met Han Xin, and someone stabbed a knife in the back, and the luck was really too bad. ”

Ying Zheng frowned and said, "Although in cyberspace, you can be anyone, but the accompanying equipment and behavior must also be matched to be fun." Today, if you put on the clothes of the Son of Heaven, you will be Qin Shi Huang, and tomorrow you will put on a robe and a poor monk will be Tang Sanzang. However, you Napoleon, who rides a camel and speaks Chinese, is too nondescript, and even I have been scorched by thunder! ”

"Yes. ”

The figure began to twist and writh, and a middle-aged man in a casual suit appeared in an instant. He has a straight nose and a square mouth, a resolute gaze, and a smile at the corner of his mouth, revealing a sense of maturity and elegance. The so-called gentleman is as gentle as jade, graceful and calm, which is probably what he looks like.

When the camel saw that the reins had been loosened, he ran to the lake to drink water and eat grass.

Ying Zheng raised his hand, and a delicate goblet appeared in the air, and half a cup of red wine floated in front of Long Chen.

Long Chen stretched out three fingers, gently pinched the wine glass and shook it a few times, watched the saffron slide down the wall of the glass in the sun, and then leaned to the end of his nose to smell the aroma of the wine, and tasted the aftertaste with a small half, and after swallowing, he showed an intoxicated expression, and said, "Good wine." ”

After Long Chen finished drinking, the empty cup disappeared, and Ying Zheng said playfully: "Opening a bottle of red wine, like waking up a sleeping beauty, generally needs to be decanted for twenty minutes, and the tannins react with oxygen to eliminate astringency and sourness. However, since I'm in the middle of nowhere, I don't need to be so troublesome. You know that this is just a virtual glass of wine in cyberspace, and you are so happy, but do you know why there is no such good wine in the world?"

Long Chen thought for a moment and said, "Because all the senses in the world are transformed into signals to stimulate the nerves, vague and unclear, while the wine of adults is pure, clean, and clear, and reaches the soul. ”

Ying Zheng looked up to the sky and laughed, and said: "It is worthy of me to develop your brain domain for many years, smart, and a word of wisdom." Hahaha, how about reading this article I wrote again?"

He lifted the pen and flicked it, and the bamboo slips were immediately covered with small seals, and with another push, the simple translation moved to Long Chen's body.

Long Chen looked at it with both hands, but it was a prose poem on it.

"Jianghu"

Where are the rivers and lakes?

The rivers and lakes are in the heart!

The white horse and silver saddle, the golden bottle and jade flute, the sword martyrs, and the pink beauties all quietly poked their heads out of the dusty pages, singing and dancing, as vivid as yesterday's faces......

The ancient rivers and lakes that have gone away have been gently pulled back by the Internet.

Ten years of repairing the same boat, and then looking back to know the heart.

How many opportunities do we have to use to meet the rivers and lakes in the vast sky and sea, among millions of people.

According to the classical theory, everything in the universe was decided at the beginning of the Big Bang, and the past life is all illusory; according to the quantum theory, the microscopic is unpredictable, and we still have a small maneuver; according to the theory of the great unified superstring, everything in this earthly world is just strings dancing.

There was nothing in the first place,

Where to stir up the dust?

Where did the rivers and lakes come from, and where did the cause and effect come from?

Some people will have rivers and lakes, and the rivers and lakes will be in the dream of the Iron Horse Binghe, and some people will have love, and the love will be planted when the thousand sails are gone.

Helpless, the dust is easy to die,

Swallows still,

Soft mud hook said.

Happiness and enmity, blood splashed ten steps, this is the easiest to cut off, is the love of the rivers and lakes.

Treading the snow to find plums, and foaming with each other, this is the easiest thing to continue, is the love of the rivers and lakes.

There is less glitz and snobbery, hustle and bustle and fatigue here, and the wind and clouds here are changeable, fast as electricity, and one day can be ten years in the world.

The brothers are here, and they meet with a smile and a grudge. If you don't share the sky today, he may not be able to sleep on his feet in the future......

It's more about knocking on chess pieces, adding fragrance to red sleeves, listening to the rain with a small hug, and talking about Zen with candles......

With such stars and such a night, for whom is the wind and the midnight open?

But for the sake of the king, he has been groaning so far.

Whether it is illusory, helpless, painful and sorrowful, it will eventually pass away, and the amazement and lingering fragrance will always be in my heart......

Our hearts have passed through the Tang Dynasty and Song rain, the Ming and Qing dynasties, galloping in the boundless time and space......

Even if everything is a dream, so what?

Born in Si, grew up in Si, swam in Si, laughed in Si, cried in Si, and fought in Si.

Here we will record our bits and pieces, and record the days that have passed in our lives.

Heaven and earth are the reverse journey of all things, and the passers-by of time are hundreds of generations, floating like a dream, how happy is it?

It's not as good as the golden wind and jade dew to meet, but there are countless victories in the world.

The road of red dust is gradually deviating from the track, and you today are completely different from yesterday's teenagers. It's just that at such a stormy dusk and when the paulownia leaves fell, I suddenly looked back, counted the floating life, and remembered maybe a smile on the other side of the Internet.

The boat on the river is shaking, the curtain is beckoning upstairs, the wind is fluttering, and the rain is dashing.

Wouldn't it be nice to be in this infinite hometown and send this life!

Float a big white first!

The omniscient and omnipotent messenger actually writes poetry without talking about business? Isn't it not his forte that emotions are out of logic?

Long Chen muttered in his heart, but said on his lips: "Wonderful article!"

"What's the trick?"

"The rhetoric is gorgeous and hearty, like a horn and a flute, which makes people feel eager to try it at a glance. The Internet is a new state of existence, and it is indeed the most like the rivers and lakes. However, the word 'born in Si' is not easy to understand, how can people who go online be born on the Internet?"

"Haha, registration can be regarded as the birth of the network, or it may be the birth of real life in the network. ”

Long Chen closed his eyes and thought for a while, but he still didn't understand, and continued to ask:

"There is also this sentence, 'the old and infinite hometown', does it mean that time is infinite or space is infinite?"

"Hahaha, don't bother thinking about it, don't think that my words and actions have deep meanings. The human world is a muddy big river and lake, and the bright world is a simple small river and lake, and I just occasionally feel bored and happy. It may take a long time for you to comprehend the deep meaning, or you may never be able to comprehend it. It's not about being smart, it's about chance. You hang it on the door of "Bright World" first, and find a way to let more laypeople enter. ”

"Yes!"

Long Chen nodded, and solemnly took the bamboo slip into his arms, thinking to himself that the adult said that it was intentional and unintentional, whether it was intentional or unintentional? How could the adult have said contradictory words, and how could he have done boring things?
