Chapter 26: The Gods Go to Valhalla (Part I)
"At the end of every exploration, it will be the starting point for us. These words slashed through Cheng Mo's mind like lightning, piercing the unpenetrable fog in his heart.
If there's one symbol that best expresses this sentence – it's the Ouroboros.
Because it symbolizes the "infinite loop", where the tail and head meet, it is both the end and the beginning.
If anything, it best expresses this sentence – it's a clock.
This is easy to understand, every time the three hands return to the top tick, it means the end and beginning of a cycle.
So what does this have to do with registration and the Pantheon?
It is important to know that the original function of the Pantheon was not a church or a mausoleum, it was called "Pantheon" when it was built in ancient Rome, which means dedicated to all the gods, so it was called the Temple of the Gods.
The main gods of ancient Rome happened to be the "twelve", consisting of 6 male gods and 6 goddesses, corresponding to the twelve statues of gods in the pantheon.
If these twelve statues are considered as scales, then the light that slanted down from the zenith hole is the pointer!
In other words, it is very likely that the Pantheon was actually the earliest timekeeping instrument in human history, the sundial (gui).
If this assumption is true, it would perfectly explain why the dome of this great building was deliberately left with a huge hole, because the Pantheon itself is a giant sundial – it needs light.
Cheng Mo was stunned by his discovery, he didn't know that the historians who studied the Pantheon also had this kind of speculation, but there was no conclusive evidence, Cheng Mo looked down at the time, it was already ten forty-five, it was almost eleven o'clock, if his inference was not wrong, it should be the location of the light spot on the main hall when he found 0 o'clock, if nothing else, it should be on the top of the head of the main god Jupiter.
"What now?" Cheng Mo felt that things were imminent for the first time, and finally had a clue, but he was facing the dilemma of returning to China soon, but it was impossible to give up, so Cheng Mo got up and found Tang Wenjun, who was playing a liver mobile game with Cheng Haoyang, and the two of them were teaming up with three girls to play Glory of Kings.
"Tang Wenjun, you can help me look at my boxes and things, I'll go around and ....." Cheng Mo patted Tang Wenjun's shoulder.
Tang Wenjun glanced up at Cheng Mo and said, "Okay! No problem, Brother Mo." ”
As for Cheng Haoyang, he didn't look at Cheng Mo, and continued to play the game expressionlessly, he had already returned the 50,000 yuan to Xie Minyun, originally he planned to use WeChat to return Xie Minyun, and by the way, add Xie Minyun as a friend, but Xie Minyun just gave him an Alipay account, which made Cheng Haoyang a little disappointed, but he didn't have the courage to put forward the request to add Xie Minyun as a friend, in fact, he didn't understand what his cousin had to look at Xie Minyun differently, just because of how much he read the book?
Cheng Mo put the box on Tang Wenjun's side, and then said "thank you" to Tang Wenjun, and walked in the direction of the security check, although his body is unlikely to get out of the customs, but the carrier can go over, because the farthest activation position of the carrier can be a hundred meters away from the local distance, so the choice for him is too great, he just needs to open the map and find a safe place with no one to activate the carrier, but the time is quite rushed for him.
The time when he activated the carrier yesterday was 11:05, and if he wanted to get to the Pantheon before 0:00, he would have to get from the airport to the Pantheon within forty-five minutes, fortunately, Rome was not too big, assuming that he could get out of the airport smoothly and catch a taxi at the first time, there would still be a chance.
In addition, their flight will take off at half past one, he hopes that everything will go well, so that he can return to the main body before one o'clock, and then regain consciousness and get on the plane back to the capital, registering this kind of thing, Cheng Ming said that it would not take too long, even if it was long, he had no choice but to trouble the tour guide and the team leader.
The departure floor is on the second floor, the first floor is undoubtedly the arrival floor, and the negative first floor is a shopping mall leading to the parking lot, Cheng Mo found the most suitable place to sit down according to the three-dimensional map after walking around, which is not far from their take-off 32 area, belonging to the 41 area, there are not many people sitting, the negative floor of the 41 area, there is a safety staircase leading to the arrival floor.
Cheng Mo needed to grab the rental as soon as possible, he looked down at the time, took a deep breath, leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, began to count in his heart, and quietly waited for the arrival of eleven and a half.
———————
Eleven 5:05.
On the B1 floor of Feu-Mishino Airport, most of the shops have closed, and only a few restaurants such as Golden Arches and Kaifeng Cai are still serving customers tirelessly.
The air was quiet, and suddenly, at the corner of a secluded and unoccupied safety staircase, a shining pillar of light appeared, and the shining DNA lines slowly weaved into a human body in between.
Said to be slow, that's because of the visual effect, in fact, the speed is amazing, a minute later, Cheng Mo's carrier Lin Zhinuo appeared out of thin air in this dark corner, Cheng Mo waited for his body to move, and immediately turned into an afterimage and ran up the stairs, even if Bolt was here, I am afraid it could not be compared to Cheng Mo's speed.
Above is the side of the pick-up hall, the midnight Feeumisino Airport is brightly lit, although the flow of people is far less than during the day, but the number of arrivals is still considerable, Cheng Mo slowed down slightly, and rushed towards the taxi stop non-stop.
The moment Cheng Mo rushed out of the automatic door, he first saw two cars on the side of the taxi stop not far away, a slightly older Hyundai Sonata, and an eighth-generation Mercedes-Benz E in front.
But in front of the Mercedes stood a couple who seemed to be ready to get into the car.
The quality of Europeans is quite good, and there has never been any such thing as robbing a taxi, so there are queue points not like those set up in China.
Cheng Mo, who was already on fire, couldn't care so much at this time, and rushed over with all his might, although it was more than ten or twenty meters away, but it seemed that it was only two or three seconds, and before a couple could react, he pulled the car door like lightning, closed the car door, and then showed a hundred-yuan bill, and said to the driver who didn't know what was going on: "Hurry up, Pantheon." ”
The couple didn't see Cheng Mo get into the car at all, and were about to knock on the window to ask the driver to open the trunk, but their hands were still waving in the air, and they found that the white taxi actually stepped on the accelerator and walked away.
So he pointed his middle finger at the red triangular taillight.
"Sir, please hurry up, if you can get to the Pantheon within forty-five minutes, I will give you two hundred euros....." Cheng Mo fastened his seat belt, took out his passport from his trouser belt, and pulled out two more hundred euro bills from it.
However, this Italian guy didn't seem to know much English, so he didn't see it as silent, so he used Italian and chattered.
Cheng Mo could only shoot two hundred euros in front of the Italian brother's dashboard, and the little brother turned his head to look at him, and he said, "Pantheon." He pointed to the timer in the taxi and said, "11 point forty-five." Then he pointed to two hundred euros: "Give you!"
Add in the first 100 euros, which is already 300 euros, and the price from Fegemino airport to the center of Rome is only 30 euros, which is already ten times the price.
As soon as Cheng Mo's words fell, he heard a roar of the engine, and the feeling of pushing his back followed, and the white gallop cut through the dark night of Rome like an arrow.
(The first update, there was another one before one point, about helping the friends to promote a wave, it seems to have been cleared by the dot mother.) My friend's name is Soloman, please go and search for pandas. Come on. )
