Chapter 120: A small group without motivation
Wang Wei came to invite in the middle of the night, which fully exposed the panic of the fellow Shaolin faction, in fact, there was no need to be in such a hurry, but Gu Zuo still understood their mood at the moment, and he was not hypocritical, and followed Wang Wei to fly in the direction of Yongchang Zhao.
There are many drawbacks to flying at night, and not being able to recognize the location and direction is the biggest problem. There are stars on the north bank of Dongxi in Southern Wuzhou, but the Shaolin faction does not, even if a group of masters they lit a few bonfires on the mountain, it still made Wang Wei and Gu Zuo look for a long time to find a landing place.
But these are not problems, after entering the valley, Gu Zuo was immediately surrounded by his fellow party, gossiping and chaotic.
Wang Wei stopped everyone and said, "Let's ask Huaisu to come and say, fellow Daoists should be quiet." ”
Huaisu stepped out of the crowd and told the story again. It turned out that on that day, he and the precise Taoist chief started a trip to verify the calendar algorithm of the line, according to the usual normal pace, without delay on the road, without admiring the magnificent scenery, and returned to the Shaolin school in four months.
The last time Huaisu set off, he stopped and stopped, and although he firmly believed that he had been going around in about four months, it was actually difficult to judge the exact time, and there was no comparison with this time. But in any case, it is much shorter than the year that the precise Taoist said.
As soon as this time was calculated, the Precise Dao Chief obviously felt a huge confusion and puzzlement, which was more than half the time taken by him to walk the lap six or seven years ago.
In view of the different locations of this trip, everyone discussed whether it was the difference in the location of the north and south of the starting place that caused this result, so it was decided to increase the comparison sample, and Huaisu and the precise road chief set off from Chang'an again and walked again.
Because Chongxuan has always said that Zhongnan Mountain is the center of the world, if the world is a ball, then starting from Chang'an to go around for a week, it should take the longest, if this time is between eight months and twelve months, it should belong to the normal value, and the comparison of the two sets of time can provide a reference for a line of calendar.
Around the beginning of September last year, Huaisu and the precise Dao Chang returned to Chang'an and began to detour again, walking at the same speed as the last time, and as a result, when they returned to Chang'an, it was the end of December, and at this time, An Lushan had been raising troops for two months.
But Huaisu and the precise Taoist didn't bother to pay attention to An Lushan's rebellion, they rushed back to Shaolin, ready to tell this data to the line, and everyone would refer to it together.
But as soon as they came back, they got an even more shocking news, Jianzhen and Monk Jin also played a tour according to their walking speed, but it only took three and a half months.
Huaisu and the precise Taoist chief believed that this was caused by the rapid pace of Jianzhen and Monk Jin, and in the dispute, these four people simply set off from the Shaolin faction and walked again according to the route last time, but this time they came back earlier, and the time for the four of them was only three months.
No one cared about the calendar of the line anymore, and everyone fell into a huge panic, Wang Wei immediately came to invite Gu Zuo and asked him to come over to discuss the matter.
A line said: "From a detour of a week and four months, to three and a half months, and then to three months, only two years have passed, can we infer that in another two years, it will only take two months to detour for one week, and after four years, it will be one month?"
Monk Jin asked, "Will this trend stop? If it continues, what about six years from now? Can you travel around for a week in three days?" Or ......?"
He didn't continue, but everyone was looking at Gu Zuo nervously.
Not to mention circumnavigating the world for a week in three days, even if it is a month, it is simply unimaginable. In the past, if you set out from Nanwu Prefecture and did not fly, with the pace of Huaisu and these Jindan monks, they could reach Chang'an in a month, that is to say, after four years, the distance of circumnavigating the world for a week was only as far as that from Nanwu Prefecture to Chang'an.
In order to better explain the seriousness of the problem to Gu Zuo, the person in power, he took out the rope that is usually used for calculation and demonstrated on the spot: "The left end is Nanwu Prefecture, and the right end is Chang'an, and now it is ...... What does a circle mean? It means that in four years, starting from Nanwuzhou, the farthest we can reach is almost in Yizhou, and further on, Chang'an is very likely to appear in Lingnan. If this is still the case after six years, it will be the farthest distance from Nanwu Prefecture to Montenegro. ”
Of course, Gu Zuo knew that the world was annihilating, but what he thought was annihilation was a huge earthquake, overturning rivers and seas, lightning and thunder, and the world finally disintegrated and the stars scattered. This process was in line with his imagination of the dissipation of the consciousness of the founders of the cave world.
But when he came to Shaolin today, these comrades showed him the true appearance of the annihilation of this world through field measurements: it was not the collapse that the Taoist said, but it shrank little by little, accelerated and narrowed, and finally shrunk to an origin, and then nothingness......
As for disasters such as earthquakes, it is an external feedback of this process.
Wang Weidao: "Huaixian, everyone is the same way, we heard that Zhongnanshan was taken away by the Chongxuan Administration, you were in Chang'an at that time, you were still a court master, you must know more than us." Can you tell us what's going on?"
Gu Zuo looked over one by one, and these hopeful eyes were fixed on him, there were more than twenty in total. Although these people practice and study Buddhism, or practice Buddhism and Taoism, Gu Zuo respects them very much, and this respect comes from the admiration for culture, most of them are treasures of cultural inheritance.
This is a relatively closed small group, and there is no need to worry too much about them spreading the news, since they are close to the truth, it is better to find out the matter than hide it. From another point of view, Gu Zuo also needs to gradually expand some people who know the truth, and work together to escape to the Cave World.
"We are in a cave world, and this world is about to be annihilated, so the first emperor and Chongxuan have all ascended and left this world. Thank you for your measurements, which gave me the first glimpse of how this world is annihilated. ”
Gu Zuo's words were concise and to the point, and the expected heartbreak did not happen.
Huaisu let out a sigh: "I see, it scared me to death, I thought I was crazy......"
Yixing was relieved: "It's not that the poor monk's algorithm can't work, but the world can't do it, hehe." ”
Monk Jin said: "The Buddha said that a flower is a world, and flowers bloom and fall, normal, normal." ”
Only Wang Wei was gloomy: "In the past, there was too little time to study the Dharma, and I couldn't regret it." ”
It was Gu Zuo's turn to be stunned: "Fellow Daoists...... Aren't you worried?"
Kukai Heten: "It's okay, it's okay, this life is annihilated, and we just wait for another reincarnation, hoping to cast ourselves in a world where Buddhism is prosperous in the next life." ”
Jianzhen said: "In the next life, I will definitely go to the west to worship the Buddha." ”
For a while, Gu Zuo was speechless. If there is no motivation to work hard, can these people still help themselves?
