Tong Qing and his party, across the dragon to inspect the safety work around the world, the sunset, people are sleepy and the dragon is lacking, just about to descend from the dragon's back to the seashore, suddenly, see below, there is a huge building, Kun dazzling in the eyes, its shape is boxy, wide and pointed, as if it is a "gold" word. From the bottom to the top, the height is about sixty or seventy zhang, and the width of each side is about eighty or ninety zhang, which is strange, I don't know what use it is?

Tong Qing beckoned the three divine dragons and landed on the ground nearby.

Everyone came down behind the dragon, Tong Qinggang let the three dragons vacate and hide, everyone went to watch the tall building, guessing and guessing, no one knew what this building was for? At this time, there happened to be a local old man passing by, and everyone hurriedly stepped forward to salute and ask.

The old man said, "This is what you are talking about, it is our sovereign's bedchamber. ”

When everyone heard this, they were puzzled, why should the bedroom be so big and so high, and such a construction is indeed very different from the construction of ordinary houses, and they asked shamelessly: "Old man, the monarch of your country, do you have to come here every night to sleep?"

The old man shook his hand again and again, and said, "Where, where? No, no, there are two kinds of dormitories for our people, one is the sleeping dormitory, and the other is the sleeping dormitory. This dormitory is our sovereign's sleeping chamber, and it is not a sleeping chamber, so why does it come every night?"

Hearing this, Tong Qing went straight to the point and asked, "Old man, what is called a short sleep? What is called a long sleep?"

"If a man is tired from work during the day and rests for a few hours at night, it is called a short sleep, but if he is tired from work for decades and cannot wake up and rests for hundreds or thousands of years, it is called a long sleep!" replied the old man.

Tong Qing said: "Old man, Tong has a sentence that violates taboos, and please forgive me, the so-called long sleep in your old mouth is actually the meaning of a person who has died, presumably the people of your country are taboo about this word of death, so after the people of your country die, they are called long sleep, is this so?"

The old man hurriedly shook his head and said: "No, no, animals have death, and people, for the spirit of all things, there is absolutely no such thing as death, our country is because there are no dead people, so it will be called the land of immortality in the world, and the guests use the word death to explain the word long sleep, which is inevitably a misunderstanding." ”

"Old man, according to what you say, is there any difference between this long sleep and death?" asked Tong Qing puzzled.

The old man replied, "Why is there no difference? The flesh is destroyed, and only the bones remain, which is called death; the people of our country sleep forever, and the body lasts forever, but the person does not drink or eat, does not get hot, and does not get up and move, then it is still called sleep, but it is a longer time, and after hundreds or thousands of years, or even tens of thousands of years, they will still wake up, where can it be called death!"

When Tong Qing heard this, he asked again: "Old man, I want you one thing, after the people of your country are put to rest, will their body naturally not decay and be destroyed? Or should we use what kind of medicine to protect it so that it will not decay and be destroyed?"

The old man replied: "Of course, it is necessary to use special drugs to protect, because life has been working for decades, and he is very tired, once he falls asleep, unlike ordinary short sleep, everything does not know autonomy, so he has to be protected by others on his behalf, which is like some people, who are very tired from working during the day, and occasionally sleep short at night, and fall asleep loudly, and they don't know whether they are cold or hot, and they don't even know if someone pushes him, and they don't know if they sleep for a short time, let alone a long sleep?"

After hearing this, Tong Qing and the others thought about it carefully, and suddenly realized that in the past, they had all heard that in this world, there is a country that hides corpses with drugs, and it turns out that it is here, the so-called rumored immortal land, so it is, it is really a strange news in the world!

"Teachable, bothered, old man, goodbye!" Tong Qing said goodbye to the old man.

The sunset is infinitely good, everyone is in high spirits, and then they go around and inspect it, and feel that everything in this country, especially in terms of culture, is indeed good, and some of their places, such as astronomy and writing, are mostly the same as Huaguo, which can really be described as thousands of miles of east and west, and coincide. (Author's note: In Chinese astronomy, there is a saying of "the zodiac signs", and Egypt also has it; the Chinese script was originally pictographic, and the Egyptian script was also pictogram. ）

Along the way, they saw the chamber where the monarch rested, and they could see it everywhere, but none of them were as tall as the first one, and the forms of the buildings were also different, some were layered up layer by layer, some were round and not pointed, and some were not built from the flat ground, but dug deep into the ground and built the dormitory underneath...... The closer the age, the higher and larger the building, and the civilization gradually increased and the luxury increased.

Tired of the birds, it was not early, Tong Qing and his party, still unsatisfied, walked back to the seaside, first set up a tent, then had dinner, entertained for a while, each went back to the tent, ready to rest and sleep.

Suddenly, Yu Lan and Yu Jie, who had not yet entered the tent and were ready to sleep, were dancing and shouting as if Napoleon had discovered a new world: "Brother Tongqing, Sister Wan'er, uncles, uncles, aunts, you all come out and see, suddenly five long stars appeared in the sky, so beautiful and charming!"

Hearing the excited shouts of their sister and brother, everyone ran out of the tent together, looked up, and sure enough, there were five big stars in the sky, shining brightly, each several feet long.

When everyone saw it, they were surprised and excited, and shouted, "These are five comets, they really are comets!"

Tong Qing carefully observed for a while, poured a scoop of cold water on everyone, and said: "Comrades-in-arms, this is not a comet, my benefactor's grandfather Li Hai knows astronomy, the old man has taught me a lot of knowledge in astronomy before his death, I still remember that the old man once told me that the form of a comet is divided into two parts, one is called the head, and the other is called the tail, and the head of the comet can also be divided into two, one is called the comet nucleus, which is the point of light like a star in it, and the other is called Huimang, which is the star energy surrounded by the comet nucleus. However, some comets that are far from the earth or smaller often can only see their rays, but not their nucleus. A large comet, with an apparent aperture the size of the moon, and its core, as bright as a morning star, is most obvious. As for the comet, it is the bright light banner on the back side of the comet, and there are many small comets that do not have the bright light flag, and even if there is, most of them are dark and narrow, so when it comes to the comet's body, it does not necessarily have a tail, but the mangs and nucleus must have them. Now your comrades-in-arms see these five big stars that suddenly appear in the sky, which look very similar to comets, but if you look closely, you will find that they have neither a core nor a glow, and they can't see which of them is the head and which is the tail, which is very suspicious. Moreover, as we all know, comets are extremely uncommon stars, even if they appear occasionally, but only one, and there is absolutely no reason for five to appear at the same time.

A comet has its orbit, and every time it appears, it gradually moves from far to near, from small to large, even when it disappears, it is also gradual.

Today, in the sky, all of a sudden, five stars appeared, and their forms were mostly similar to comets, but they had no head or tail, and this is a kind of suspicious place. ”

Everyone asked together, "Team leader, comet, it's more than one, right?"

Tong Qing said: "Of course, there are many miles, our ordinary people's eyesight, what can be seen, and what has been discovered one after another, there are already thousands, not to mention those who can't be seen with eyesight, there must be a lot." ”

"Tong Qing, let me ask a question, all stars have no tail, only comet has a tail, Lei someone has heard someone say before, the tail of a comet, the longest, is tens of millions of zhang long, but I don't know why? Can you explain?" Lei Ming said suddenly.

Tong Qing thought for a moment and said: "Brother Lei Ming, Tong once heard his benefactor's grandfather Li Hai say that there are probably two reasons! One is the thrust, the investigation of the comet, almost all of them are contrary to the sun, as if it is subjected to a kind of thrust above the sun, so that it is attached to the comet's mass; the other is the suction, Tong conjectures, probably the body of the comet, with a strong suction force, so that the matter attached to the star, although it is thrust by the sun, will not be separated. These two reasons are also taken for granted, but what are the facts? I'm sorry!"

"Tong Qing, according to what you just said, the tail is a comet, if there is no tail, how can you know that it is also a comet?" asked Lei Tingxiang lively.

Tong Qing said: "Brother Thunder, Tong here, there are three situations, which can be seen, one is the orbit of the comet, which is very different from the stars, the orbits of the stars are almost round, and the orbits of comets are several, common, such as hyperbola, parabola, and oval...... As long as you can see the shape of these orbits clearly, you can determine that it is a comet. Another situation is to investigate the history of comets, as seen in the astronomical records, once comets appear, they all have tails, then, it appears at this moment, although it has lost its tail, it can still be easily recognized. The third situation is to look at its shape, that is, there is a mang, there is a nucleus, there is a mang, there is a nucleus, it is definitely a comet. ”

"Tong Qing, please explain, why did the comet's tail have to be lost?" Qiu Wenbo asked.

Tong Qing thought about it for a while, and said: "Qiu Lao, this is probably because the mass of the comet is not too large, dragging a long tail like a long one, there is a great tendency to fall, over time, the suction can not collect it, the quality of the tail, it is scattered in the void, it may be the reason why the comet has no tail, because the suction of the sun, on both sides of the comet to the sun and the sun, its force is very large, the comet can't help this power, the nucleus, dispersed into several, over time, the whole disappeared." ”

Miss Dong Wan'er asked: "As the husband said, since there is more than one comet, and sometimes it disappears, then, the tailless comet seen today, can An see that it is a comet with a tail that has been seen in history before?"

Tong Qing smiled and said: "Wife, the orbit of a comet, under normal circumstances, is elliptical, and the appearance of a comet has a fixed number of laws, or once in more than ten years, or once in decades, or once in hundreds of years, according to the records in the history of astronomy, it can be calculated, so it can be known." If the orbit is parabolic or hyperbolic, the comet can only be seen once, and then it will not appear again, but the parabolic one, some people will say, it is still an oval, but it is just an extremely long and very large circle, and it will take thousands of years to go around, and the life of the master is a short hundred years, and it is not known that it will not come out again. ”

Tong Qing answered everyone one by one, and just as he was talking about this, suddenly, he heard Yu Jie shouting loudly: "Everyone, look, the five long stars hanging in the sky have changed!"

Tongqing everyone hurriedly looked up, only to see that the light of the five stars gradually converged, kept shaking, and after a while, it turned into five big stars like pearls, and they were arranged in the sky, as if they were a string of beads, connected into one breath, dazzling.

Now I can see clearly, they should be gold, wood, water, fire, and earth five stars gathered, these five stars are like beads, it is rare to see. Everyone looked up at the sky, and they were all surprised and discussed.

............

At this time, the night was deep, the surroundings were as dark as ink, everyone stood for a long time, yawning constantly, they all felt tired, and heard the rooster "Oh oh" from afar, and it was expected that it was dawn, and everyone was thinking about going into the tent to sleep and rest, and suddenly, seeing the east, seemed to reveal a white light.

"Isn't it that the sky is about to be clear?" Everyone was puzzled, pay attention to look up, only to see the sky, there seems to be a faint black cloud, under the black cloud, as if there is the support of phosgene, over time, from the black cloud, revealed a big round object, its white as jade, its big as a mirror, everyone said that this is the sun, some say it is the moon, have shouted, argued.

Suddenly, I saw that next to this round object, another round object sprung up, similar in size and color, at first lower than the first one, and then gradually rising.

The two circles are like Qi, as if they were a pair of white biblios.

These two round objects, as if someone is driving the wind as fast as the wind, quickly and the five big stars had a friction, only to hear a loud "boom", the sky suddenly burst out of a cluster of black and white light, these two completely different lights, fell from the sky in an instant, like a huge net, to look up at the sky Tong Qing and his party, shrouded over.

In an instant, the cold air struck, the yin wind blew on the face, and the murderous aura filled the air.

"Oops, it's not good!" The incident happened suddenly, Tong Qing didn't have time to arrange the enchantment block, and he hurriedly took power, protecting everyone's lives, and hurriedly opened the door of the jade pendant necklace space, and took all his comrades-in-arms in.

The wind rose suddenly, the thunder in the ears was faint, and when you looked at the sky, there were no clouds, and it was strange to celebrate.

Suddenly, "Hahaha...... It's a pity that you protect them (her), but you won't be able to see the sun tomorrow morning!"
