Chapter 1 Walking alone on the moon to find the gate of heaven
"The First Emperor's Spiritual Mirror, and the guilty ministers wrote in blood:
Fortunately, I have gone through many difficulties and dangers, and almost died. But fortunately, with God's blessing, I finally arrived in Penglai, saw the divine inscriptions, and knew the way to heaven... However, manpower is sometimes poor, and Tianmen is high and far away. If we gather the power of the world, how far can we reach it...
.The minister had no plan, so he returned. However, the minister returned to the east, while the emperor went to the west... cried out sadly
! Nothing is more sad than this. I have no face to live on, but I have three elders above me and several sons below me... I have been unkind, unfaithful and unjust, and I cannot bear to be unfilial... Therefore, I pinched the clay figure, cut off the head, carved words on the chest, and used the sky to
Take the key as your heart, carry the treasure map on your back, and kneel down at the emperor's mausoleum to offer sacrifices to the late emperor. Bless you... worship again!"
Above is the calm, clear and empty black sky, where stars are twinkling, meteorites are shuttled there, comets are dragging their bright tails floating at the end of the horizon, and Mars is like a red-hot round stone that is cooling down...
.
Zhang Baoer stood alone on the barren land and murmured. He was wearing a silver-white spacesuit, with the Chinese logo of 'Sanlu Group's Third Lunar Project Department' printed on his left chest.
On his head, he wore a spherical helmet connected to a spacesuit. His eyes were flickering inside, looking back and forth through the transparent spherical surface between the headless clay figure in front of him and the headless clay figure held in his gloved hands.
The headless clay figurine is very strange, with a crude picture carved on its back and a small dark red seal carved on its chest.
The small seal tells a secret that is unknown and difficult to verify. If what the inscription says is true, that would be extraordinary, because it was probably created by Xu Fu, a famous alchemist in the Qin Dynasty.
Zhang Baoer was originally an atheist. When he found the clay figurine from the remains of the deceased archaeologist's sister, he didn't take it seriously. Out of respect for his sister's last wishes, he still spent his free time planning revenge.
, conducted research on clay figures.
But...it was okay if he didn't study. The more he studied, the more frightened he became. Finally one day he happened to see a place on a satellite picture that exactly matched the picture on the back of the clay figure - so he became a third person.
An employee of Road Group and standing here.
This is a very strange land. All you can see is monotonous gray-white sand. From a distance, it looks like it is pieced together with countless pieces of dead people's skin. It is full of infinite silence and desolation... But Zhang Bao'er doesn't find it weird.
Because this is somewhere on the moon.
At this time, he was motionless, and time seemed to have stopped. The bright white sunlight came from behind, imprinting his shadow on the gray-white sand, like a huge black tentacle, extending into the distance.
"Could it be..."
Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, and immediately looked away from the headless clay figure, and then followed his own shadow and looked into the distance.
And when his sight was fixed on an inconspicuous hill, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, like a war horse waiting to charge, as if it was about to jump out.
"There...it must be there! It must be there!"
Suddenly, he shouted, his voice full of excitement and joy, and before he could finish the sound, he was like a beating ping-pong ball, holding the headless clay figure and running towards the hill.
"Employee No. C087, Employee No. C087! What happened? What happened? Please answer immediately! Please answer immediately!"
His shouting attracted the attention of the Lunar Command and the radio call, but he ignored it, just like a castaway in the desert: he ran desperately towards the 'oasis' he saw.
Wow~~~
But just when he was only three feet away from the hill, a strange ripple appeared in the space around him and then quickly subsided. He was like a drop of water that crashed into the transparent and still water, and he was not too surprised.
of waves.
"this……"
Zhang Baoer's hair immediately stood up, his expression was horrified, and he stopped abruptly.
Because everything in front of him changed, after that weird 'fluctuation', everything changed: the hill was gone, replaced by a circular platform, and standing on its edge, he felt like 'Zhuang Zhou dreaming of a butterfly'.
This is a very strange platform. You can't tell what kind of material it is made of. It looks like stone but it exudes a faint metallic luster. The luster is very uniform, but it is not like ore, just like the fog and sand exposed by the morning sun.
The faintly exposed ice cubes.
The platform is very smooth, with dense black lines on it. At first glance, it looks like growth rings on a tree stump, but if you look closely, you will find that those lines are actually lines composed of countless small characters, and... they are actually alive.
It's squirming slowly!
Buzz~~~
Zhang Baoer had no time to remain sluggish, he woke up immediately because he suddenly felt that his hands were shaking violently!
Looking subconsciously, I saw the headless clay figure struggling violently between two clumsy big gloves, and its body was covered with dozens of cracks, which were spreading to all parts of its body.
"ah!!!"
Zhang Baoer screamed, as if he was touched by fire, he quickly retracted his hand and let it fall freely.
Bang!
However, before the headless clay figure landed on the platform, the cracks suddenly burst into bright white light, and the clay figure suddenly exploded.
Immediately afterwards, he discovered that a palm-sized object flew out of the explosion, which was emitting dazzling white light and floating suddenly and mysteriously in the air. It did not scatter and fly down like the mud.
"Jade token?!"
His mouth suddenly opened so wide that he could fit a goose egg in. He knew about this jade plaque. He had used many instruments to detect it. He knew that there was a piece of white jade at the heart of the headless clay figurine, but he was worried about destroying the headless clay figurine.
, so he never took it out... But at this moment, the piece of white jade that had been with him for a long time was actually flying.
The fear in his heart was temporarily replaced by surprise. When the surprise faded away, the fear would naturally return to his heart. But before the fear appeared in his eyes again, suddenly!
Whoosh!
The jade tablet flashed suddenly, and in the blink of an eye it landed on a two-color dot the size of a fist in the center of the circular platform, which seemed to be the Taoist Yin-Yang diagram.
Then, it melted in... like ice falling into boiling water, it melted in! After a while, it disappeared.
Fear is often the initial reaction of human beings to unknown things, so Zhang Baoer, who calls himself an ordinary person, immediately backed away with a pig liver-colored face without even thinking about it, wanting to stay away from here, but!
"What?!"
But he found that there was a wall behind him, blocking his back, making him unable to retreat!
The next moment, his face turned pale again - that wall turned out to be an invisible wall!
He was almost frightened out of his wits. He was so frightened that he hit the invisible wall with his elbows wildly and shouted:
"Headquarters! Headquarters..."
No answer!
After shouting for a long time, he subconsciously looked at the transparent sphere and saw nothing there - that is to say, his spacesuit was inexplicably out of power!
Buzz~~~
Zhang Baoer wanted to make another move, but time waited for no one. A sound like a mosquito flapping its wings amplified countless times had already reached his ears, and the circular platform shook violently.
Those lines began to rotate rapidly, showing a magical little vortex with the two-colored dots that disappeared from the jade medal as the center.
"Help..."
In just a moment, not only those lines, but also everything around him began to rotate with the rotation of the small vortex, including the mud on the ground, the surrounding light, and Zhang Baoer himself.
He found that his feet were like dough, being infinitely stretched and twisted, spinning and flying into the small whirlpool. When he shouted "ah", his neck had begun to lengthen, making his voice
His ears grew longer...
The next moment, his eyes began to distort, but before flying away, he couldn't help but look up:
A blue planet floats quietly at the end of the gray-white horizon. It is the earth, the real world he once lived in, but at this moment, it is as distant and illusory as a mirror, blurred in an indescribable sway.
No trace!
Before this sway, what his still functioning brain was thinking was not words like 'God bless' or 'Bodhisattva bless', but:
"Holy shit!"
Unfortunately, it all happened so fast that he couldn't turn this thought into a sound...
The tireless radio signal is still shuttled over the dead sky of the moon with this message, but the C087 employee can no longer receive it, because a story has begun!
...
Opening his eyes, Zhang Baoer saw... To be honest, he didn't know what he saw because his pupils were dilated and unable to focus.
After persisting for a while, perhaps because he was too tired, or perhaps for some other reason, he fell asleep again.
Time passed by, and I don’t know how long it took. When he woke up again, he was still physically and mentally exhausted, and finally had vision:
Through the dusty mask, I saw a cliff with strange vine plants growing on it.
Perhaps because there was light, his eyes subconsciously looked upward, so he saw the trees on the top of the cliff, the flowers on the trees, as well as the white clouds, blue sky and dazzling sun above.
In addition to these, he also saw a small purple bird, dragging a tail that was ten times as long as its body, flying quickly. In its paws, it actually held a bird that was a hundred times larger than its body. It looked like a wild boar but had a single horn.
Monster.
Although the cold eyes of the strange bird were noticed by Zhang Baoer, he was still in a daze and did not show any fear. He only murmured with a grimace:
"Sister! Bao'er is here, looking for you! Where are you? Bao'er has a headache!"
When a person is vulnerable and helpless, he no longer has any dreams, beliefs and nobility, but only a simple fear and a desire to rely on someone who can dispel the fear.
However, when his hand that longed for a hug was only halfway out, he was stunned - he had doubts:
"Am I dead? Isn't this heaven or hell? Why do I have a headache?!"
Doubts made him regain some ability to think, just like a small ant nest in a dam. As time went by, the huge dam he built of "I am dead" finally collapsed!
"I'm alive!"
He yelled and jumped up!
Already twenty-four years old, like a big child, he took off his helmet without thinking and looked at everything in front of him with wide eyes:
Here, it seems to be a valley, in the shape of a square barrel, with steep cliffs on all sides. There are some unknown vines growing on the cliffs, and there are more than a dozen flowers as big as lotus flowers sparsely blooming on the vines.
He took a deep breath, there was oxygen here, and it was filled with a mysterious fragrance. This fragrance was thick but not greasy, and it was more soothing than the best medicine he had ever taken.
"this......"
In surprise, the experience on the moon suddenly came to his mind, but this time he did not panic, but began to meditate, and when he was meditating, he was used to lowering his head, so he found that he was actually standing on a
On the circular stone platform.
There are strange lines painted on this stone platform, forming a strange figure, which is very similar to the figure seen on the moon!
"The legendary altar?! Teleportation array?!"
Zhang Baoer was shocked. He suddenly remembered the 'teleportation array' mentioned in the fairy novels he had read before - once these three words appeared, they could no longer be taken away.
He is a very receptive person, but he was still stunned for a few minutes before he came back to his senses, because his mind was fixed by the previous knowledge, like a conference room, and he was not prepared for this sudden event.
A place to sit.
After coming back to his senses, he rubbed his eyes and continued to look at him with an expression of surprise:
"I've never seen grass, I've never seen flowers, hey, I seem to recognize that one! Isn't that a cowgrass?"
"...I seem to know the cowweed, everything else... Hey! How can that bird in the sky have four wings?!"
After muttering for a long time, for some unknown reason, he suddenly took off his clumsy space suit, and then rushed out like a runaway horse, observing like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden.
Until a certain moment, he stood on the edge of a pool with a radius of three feet, his face dull, as if he had lost his soul - there was a cliff opposite, and there were words on the cliff.
There are three carvings in total. He knows all these characters. They are hieroglyphs!
Moreover, not only does he know the words, he also knows the person who left the words!
First place, first column:
"Looking for the Tao and asking questions are all painful ways. Looking back at dusk, I am me and I am also the Tao!"
Second column:
"Chasing evil spirits for countless years, the evil spirits are destroyed and finally come back - Shang Rong"
Second place, first column:
"The Tao can be Tao, but it is not the eternal Tao; the name can be named, but it is not the eternal name."
Second column:
"Knowing the master's traces, asking for the beginning, thinking about leaving the world, the world will come and go again - Li Er"
In the third place, there is only one column:
"I'm dreaming when I'm sleeping, I'm dreaming when I'm awake, I'm sleepwalking here, I'm still dreaming - Zhuang Zhou"
Zhang Baoer's eyes were wide open and could no longer be closed. He stood there blankly like a lifelike sculpture, his mind going blank!
Shang Rong, Laozi’s teacher.
Li Er, Lao Tzu.
Zhuang Zhou, Zhuang Zi.
He became a half-archaeologist in order to study clay figures. Although he did not know these three people, he knew who they were. More importantly, he knew that they were from the same world as himself!
I don't know how long it took before his mood calmed down a bit, but... the look of disbelief obviously couldn't be dissipated from his eyes in a short period of time.
"I actually saw the inscriptions left by those three legendary figures?!"
He didn't think it was anyone's prank, because he had followed the footsteps of Xu Fu, the imperial physician of Qin Shihuang, to Ryukyu Island, and was lucky enough to see the inscriptions of these three people.
Although those carvings had been lost in the ruthless years, after nearly two years of investigation, he was still sure that they were really the carvings of those three people, and the handwriting in front of him was the same as the ones he had seen on Ryukyu Island.
Those are exactly the same!
And 'belief' was one of the reasons why he became an employee of the Three-way Group and reached the moon, which ultimately led him to find the 'door'.
Unknowingly, the light in the valley began to dim. Zhang Baoer woke up suddenly and raised his head to see the golden afterglow of the setting sun on the top of the highest cliff.
"It's useless to think too much. Now that we're here, what's the use of you? Let me, Zhang Baoer, unveil the world!"
He suddenly clenched his fists, and after taking a deep look at the words on the cliff, he immediately turned around and walked towards the cliff that was easiest to climb.
He also thought about leaving his own traces on the edges of the three carvings, but... he rejected it in just a moment - he felt that he:
Not worthy!
Yes, not worthy!
He has accomplished nothing in his life so far, and he cannot even protect his only relative.
Although it took him three years to get revenge and turn a prince-like scum into a vegetative state - this can be called a miracle... But those tricks were too despicable, and this achievement is not worthy of recognition by outsiders.
