696. Irreversible
For history, forty years is a white horse, and it is not worth mentioning at all, but for a person, no matter how much great achievements he has made, he has almost returned to peace.
When Rhubarb returned here in despair, he found that Brother Zhang was looking at her and laughing, and Rhubarb just sneered: "Why can't you change history?" ”
Brother Zhang took out a glass of lemonade and gave it to her: "Because fatalism is the main tone of history." ”
"Can you, then? Can you change? ”
"Yes." After Brother Zhang finished speaking, he sat down: "But you can't." All unauthorized changes will only create a new branch of the world, which is to add a denominator to the infinite copies. ”
"Can't you authorize me?"
"I've given it to you, but did you ever think it's a part of history?"
Rhubarb looked up at Brother Zhang fiercely: "In other words...... What we see is actually after being disturbed? ”
"yes." Brother Zhang smiled and patted Rhubarb's head: "Some regrets are often the best results." ”
Rhubarb, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly laughed: "So it is also the best result for my civilization to be destroyed?" ”
Brother Zhang didn't answer her, just pointed out the door, only to see that the door had become another scene, the hanging mountain and the backward river, it was alive that it had reached the realm of mountains and seas.
"Let's go for a walk."
Brother Zhang came outside with rhubarb, at this time the mountains and seas were chaotic, the world was hazy, the two of them came to the edge of the vast sea, and saw a young man sitting on the beach and pondering, his body was strong, not a wisp, and he looked into the distance in a daze.
When he saw Brother Zhang coming, his face was full of curiosity, and Brother Zhang just smiled at him, and then the young man ran to Brother Zhang's side, pointing to the distance and then to the other side.
There is no language, only simple body expressions, but Brother Zhang seems to understand, he doesn't speak but laughs.
And Rhubarb raised his head and looked at Brother Zhang: "What did he say?" ”
"He was curious about how big the margins of the world were, and he wanted to go to every corner of the world."
Rhubarb let out a sigh, then jumped on the young man's shoulder, and gave him the boundaries of the world he knew by touching his head through consciousness transmission, making him form a real concept.
The young man tilted his head and looked at Brother Zhang and glanced at the rhubarb again, thought for a while, and then suddenly clapped his hands, and then he ran to the beach, and his body gradually turned into a tree, the small tree was only more than one person tall, but the root system had been drilling down frantically.
"Hold the grass! World Tree! ”
Rhubarb exclaimed, and she only now realized that the young man in front of her was the little old man! And the tree in front of him, which may be overturned by a typhoon at any time, is the World Tree of the Ten Thousand Ages.
Sumerian mythology has the concept of the World Tree, which also corresponds in Egyptian mythology, the tree where Horus inhabits is the center of the world, and naturally it is the World Tree. In "One Thousand and One Nights", there is a king who seeks eternal life, and the destination is still the World Tree. There is also a world tree in Norse mythology, and it also appears in Oriental mythology, whether it is the East China Sea Jianmu or the old tree god Yuukyuu of Baga or the tree worship in Sanxingdui, and even the eye of the tree of the ancient ruler, etc., the source of everything is this inconspicuous little tree now.
Then Brother Zhang and Rhubarb stood on the edge of the big sycamore and watched it grow up, it slowly grew fruit, and the fruit fell and slowly turned into a spirit between heaven and earth, they have thousands of forms and different abilities, but without exception they are full of worship and admiration for the father tree.
These fruits gave birth to a behemoth like a kunpeng, roaring and soaring through the clouds, spreading thousands of kilometers in shape, falling on the ground as an endless mountain range, and falling in the sea as a lost continent. It also gave birth to millions of dripping insects that are invisible to the naked eye, cruising and scattering, invisible to the eye.
Between sunrise and sunset, the realm of mountains and seas has grown from a desolate place to a vibrant place, with occasional struggles and noise. The sycamore tree also became a giant tree that covered the sky and the sun, and its root system extended to every corner, and then stretched out, enveloping another world in it, so there was that ancient era.
Walking in the initial mountain and sea realm, Rhubarb felt that everything was fresh, because this was the real wild world, there was no civilization to speak of, much earlier than she was born, and the strange and undesigned creatures in it were also very interesting. Why are there so many strange things in the mountains and seas, what fish head dog body, what wolf head tiger body, what leopard head...... This can't be said, it will die. Anyway, it's very strange, strange things are running all over the ground, and Daredevil is flying all over the sky.
And these monsters also strictly follow the rules of the jungle, sometimes drinking water and drinking are dried up by a more ferocious monster, the whole world is in danger, and the rhubarb almost hooks up his hunting instincts.
"There's a puppy, alas."
Rhubarb pulled away a pile of grass, and there was a puppy lying in it that had not even cut the umbilical cord, although the rhubarb owed his mouth and hands were annoying, but in the end it was love and family guardians, maternal love was particularly overflowing, she was not distressed to see the big animals being eaten or something, but she couldn't bear to see such a little cub, she stepped forward and gently licked the little puppy: "It's dying, help it." ”
Brother Zhang squinted at Rhubarb: "Are you sure?" ”
"Sure, it's dying."
"Okay, then help it."
Brother Zhang squatted down and hugged the puppy in his arms, began to treat its wounds, and then fed it, a person and a cat tossed here for a long time before it was saved, the little dog raised his head and glanced at Brother Zhang with great difficulty, and then slowly put his head on his chest.
"It's over, it's sealed." Rhubarb sighed: "Why don't you take it back and raise it?" Be a companion to the big white dog in the backyard. ”
Brother Zhang smiled, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid the backyard can't fit it." ”
"Huh? What is this? Rhubarb was stunned for a moment: "Can you grow that big?" ”
"Bai Ze."
Rhubarb spurted out a mouthful of old blood: "Hurry up, kill him, kill him!" ”
Brother Zhang shook his head and said, "I asked you if you were sure, and you said yes." ”
"Am I wrong, am I wrong? You're going to kill him! ”
Brother Zhang didn't pay attention to Rhubarb's shouting at all, just looked around, and then looked up and found that there was a big kun floating in the sky wandering around, Brother Zhang saw it and thought of the girl in Chang'an Lane back then, he smiled and waved towards Wang Kunpeng, who walked around the mountain and sea realm: "Come down." ”
At this time, Kunpeng did not have a form, and then she learned to become Brother Zhang, but Brother Zhang's attributes made her unable to copy at all, and she looked like a soft mud monster.
"Come on, come on, change according to me, you're too disgusting." Rhubarb morphed into a body: "He can't be copied." ”
Kunpeng was quickly reproduced into the appearance of rhubarb, not only the appearance, but also part of the memory, although not comprehensive, but at least a part.
It's just that the current Kunpeng is still in its infancy, so it looks like a child.
"Hey, I was so cute when I was a kid." Rhubarb sighed with heartfelt emotion: "I don't know how many copper smelting monsters I have to die." ”
Brother Zhang frowned and looked at the rhubarb, if he didn't use his heart technique, he really couldn't predict that something would pop out of her next sentence.
Kunpeng looked at Brother Zhang and Rhubarb left and right, and then suddenly opened his mouth to eat them, but Brother Zhang just pinched its mouth with a slight pinch, and then handed the puppy in his arms to Kunpeng.
"Didn't Kunpeng say he didn't eat?"
"Well, don't eat it. But curious. After Brother Zhang handed the puppy to Kunpeng, he turned around and continued to walk around with the rhubarb: "Who else do you want to save?" ”
Rhubarb shook his head vigorously: "Won't it be because of this that we will make a big devil, right?" ”
After finishing speaking, Rhubarb pondered that something was wrong, and she slapped her thigh: "The alien beast clan has been your person from beginning to end!" No, no, no, no, I'll take care of it...... The realm of mountains and seas is yours! It's a separate world, just like Miss Dai's, it's an alternate Universe 0! It was you who made the big sycamore connect with the overworld, just now! You opened Kunpeng's spiritual wisdom, and you saved Bai Ze...... It's all you! ”
"It was you who made the connection of the big sycamore, Bai Ze was saved by you, and Kunpeng was also ignited by you." Brother Zhang turned his head sideways and glanced at Rhubarb: "I asked you if you were sure, and you said yes." It's you who make Kunpeng replicate your body and mind. It was also you who took the initiative to reveal the information of Universe 0 to the Great Sycamore. ”
Brother Zhang touched Rhubarb's head: "Is there a feeling of being run over by the wheel of history?" ”
"But you can obviously stop me, and when I asked you to strangle Bai Ze, you didn't listen to me?"
"Huh." Brother Zhang turned his head and glanced at Rhubarb: "I can see death without saving me, but when have you ever seen me kill?" I bought the fish and let them take care of it and send it over. ”
"What about chickens?"
"It's the same." Brother Zhang walked forward with his hands behind his back: "It's not that I can't, but I simply don't like it." ”
Rhubarb glanced back at the Kunpeng covering the sky in the sky, and then quickly caught up with Brother Zhang: "You induced me to commit a crime!" ”
Brother Zhang shook his head but didn't speak, but Rhubarb obviously looked very annoyed, she repeatedly thought about how beautiful it would be if she killed Bai Ze just now, but now that opportunity has been lost.
"But Bai Ze has already made an imprint on you, and according to the characteristics of the immortal species, he will remember you for the rest of his life. So he's actually your person, right, in fact, you already know the cause and the effect, right? So if you know everything, you just don't say it. ”
"No one asked me." Brother Zhang spread out his hand and looked innocent.
"I've found out that none of your people are good."
Brother Zhang smiled and shook his head, he took Rhubarb straight to a lake, gently fiddled with the lake with his hand, and then a fat-headed fish-like thing floated up, staring at Brother Zhang with two swollen eye bubbles, and then a tentacle suddenly rolled up the rhubarb, and Rhubarb meowed and struggled for a long time before coming up again.
"Look for death!"
Rhubarb turned into a panther and went down with a charge, and then took the fathead fish in her mouth, clicked three times and divided five by two, and after eating, she squatted there and licked her lips contentedly: "It's just right." ”
Brother Zhang glanced at her: "Do you know why there is a dragon group in the mountain and sea realm, a strange beast group, but no water group?" ”
"Why?"
"Because you just ate the leader of the water tribe." Brother Zhang nodded and said, "Since then, the water tribe has become a loose tribe. ”
Rhubarb was stunned on the spot, she looked down at the fathead fish, and the dead fish's eyes shone with a strange light.
"No wonder...... Not intentionally. Big Rhubarb made a fuss: "There is a debtor who is wronged, and he goes to find the dead man to take revenge and revenge." ”
"Do you want to continue?"
Rhubarb shook his head: "Don't, I change history every few steps......"
"Nope." Brother Zhang patted the big black panther on the broad back: "You are a part of history." ”
Rhubarb suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart: "So no matter what, there is no way to change the past, right?" ”
"A changed past becomes an established fact, and all outcomes are the best."
After Brother Zhang finished speaking, he walked to a bush and stretched out his hand to pull it away: "Look over there." ”
Rhubarb looked around, only to see that there were countless plants stretched into the distance, these plants were like pineapples, and the leaves on the outside were round fruits, these fruits were black, but if you looked closely, they were a universe one by one, and occasionally one or two fruits suddenly burst out with bright light, and then with the bright light, the fruit would slowly rise and disappear into the sky.
"Ahh This is the Big Bang? Rhubarb leaned over to a fruit and looked closely.
Suddenly there was a flash of white light, and the fruit flickered violently, and then it rose into the air, but Rhubarb covered his eyes and rolled on the ground: "Eyes! My eyes! ”
"New seeds have sprouted." Brother Zhang sat next to him and quietly looked at the cosmic plantation: "Are you interested?" ”
"What interest?"
"Be a Guardian."
"Inappropriate." Rhubarb decisively refused: "I'm still looking forward to a sweet love, the ghost is going to be like you." ”
Brother Zhang pursed his lips: "You will have whatever you want." ”
"What do I want? I just want a canned tuna, preferably unsalted tuna soaked in virgin olive oil. I am guilty of being a Guardian. Rhubarb snorted: "You are a bad man, you don't fool me." ”
Brother Zhang shrugged: "It's a pity, I thought you would be willing." ”
"It's fun to play the game at first, and after a long time, no one will cheer you on." Rhubarb shook his head and said, "It's you, you're planning to retire?" ”
"Hmm." Brother Zhang stretched: "I'm going to retire." ”
"Huh?" Rhubarb squinted his eyes and shed tears as he circled around Brother Zhang: "How long is it going to be?" ”
"It didn't take long."
"Will it be a little sudden?"
"Life ends at any point in time not so suddenly, does it?"
