Chapter 111 Chapter 111 There are two texts from the heyday of the temple...
Jiang Hongguo finished her work and returned to Yancheng. As soon as she came back, Wen Qing came over. Yu Shan stood at the door with his arms crossed and snorted: "You came as soon as we came back. Did you bribe the neighbors?"
Wen Qing was a little afraid of Jiang Hongguo's cousin, so she said honestly, "I went to talk to your cousin about selling the mine, and I did tell the neighbors. As soon as you got home, they called me."
Jiang Hongguo heard it, called her home, and asked her, "Why do you want to sell the mine?"
Because Wen Qing knew that her brother would never come back.
She had wanted to get rid of her family members before, but now she had gotten rid of them one by one, and she felt so lonely.
Wen Qing smiled helplessly and explained, "Before he left, my brother said he would not come back. Before he left, he left all his property and the mine to me. I don't know how to run a mine, and I don't want to stay in Yancheng. I'm not afraid of being ripped off if I sell it to you."
Wen Yongshan is not coming back? Where is he going? To that world?
The price Wen Qing reported was much lower than the market price, so Jiang Hongguo agreed to take over and agreed to sign the contract and take over the business in the next few days.
After the deal was done, Wen Qing took out a silver bracelet and held it in her hand, wondering if she could give it away.
She said with embarrassment, "My brother asked me to give this to you. When I saw such an ordinary bracelet, made of silver, I said he was too stingy. How could he give such a cheap thing away?"
Although it was very strange, Wen Qing was frightened by his brother's serious expression at the time and did not dare to ask more questions. He agreed to convey the message.
Jiang Hongguo's eyes fell on the silver bracelet in Wen Qing's hand. She remembered that in the first year of her marriage agreement with Gu Zhiqing, she wanted to wear a piece of jewelry from Gu Zhiqing, so she chose the cheapest, thinnest silver bracelet. After Gu Zhiqing saw through her thoughts, he made an excuse not to give her the gift.
Hongguo didn't understand why he should go to the trouble of making up for it now. She didn't need it anymore.
Later, Gu Changzong came. Hongguo never asked for anything on her own initiative, but Changzong always gave her the best and worried that what he gave her was not enough.
Jiang Hongguo no longer needed the silver bracelet, she already had something better than any jewelry.
She shook her head and declined, "I can't accept this. Changzong will be jealous if he finds out. Besides, I already have the best one. I don't need this bracelet anymore."
Wen Qing thought that this was meant for her brother, so she nodded as if she understood, and said in a brisk tone to ease the atmosphere: "My brother also said that I won't force it. Then I will go back and prepare the contract information, and we will complete the mineral transfer procedures as soon as possible."
…
Regarding the purchase of the mine, Hongguo went to the mine in the afternoon, talked to Chu Chengwu about it, and then went to meet Diandian.
Diandian rushed over, hugged Hongguo's neck and kissed her: "Mom, I miss you, Dad, and Uncle Zheng so much. Come home soon, I want to tell you a secret."
I haven't seen him for more than ten days. I miss him so much. Hong Guo asked affectionately, "What's the secret? Why don't you tell me now?"
The little one was very cunning. He looked around and saw people coming and going. He thought it would be better to go home and tell them, "Mom, my things are at home." Ge Zizai said, "Show them to me and I'll know."
Ge Zizai contacted Xiaobudian again. Hongguo found a seat in the back row on the bus, touched Xiaobudian's jade pendant, saw Ge Zizai and Wen Yongshan.
Wen Yongshan went to Ge Zizai to discuss who would go down from the temple. There was no doubt that whoever went down would never come out.
Ge Zizai wanted to go down, but Wen Yongshan persuaded him, saying that he still had some unfinished business and hoped he could go down.
"I came here because I wanted to go to the temple and find out about the previous civilization. If I can't get out, then I can't get out. There's nothing left outside that I'm nostalgic for."
After saying this, Wen Yongshan smiled kindly at the little guy across the barrier of water.
Seeing these scenes, Hongguo hugged Diandian tighter in her arms.
The little one is still very capable. He can tell: "Mom, that Uncle Wen is very strange. It seems like there are two people inside his body, and one of them is sleeping."
Hong Guo nodded: "It doesn't matter. We are busy enough here and can't take care of their affairs."
After returning home, the little one rummaged through the toy box under the bed and found an ordinary black bead bracelet without any patterns on it, and put it on Jiang Hongguo's hand.
"Mom, Ge Zizai said that this bead is the first item that came out of the temple over there. Don't be fooled by its inconspicuous appearance. It is a very powerful thing, but it recognizes people."
The little one lifted his mother's hand and looked at it, but there was no response. It seemed that one more thing needed to be done to start it.
He said distressedly: "Mom, you have to put a drop of blood on it to see if it recognizes your genes."
"Is it so magical?" Jiang Hongguo was curious.
The little one nodded like an adult, took a utility knife and cut his little finger. Hongguo had no time to stop him, so he held it up with heartache, and a small drop of blood came out.
"Does it hurt?"
This silly child, just when Hongguo was about to use a cotton ball to stop the bleeding, the little guy had already dripped his blood onto one of the beads in the black bracelet, then put his little finger in his mouth and sucked it, then took it out, and his hand was healed.
"Mom, I've tried every one of them, but none of them work. There's no response. Let me try. I hope I can start it. Otherwise, let's wait for Dad to come back and try again."
The little one still hopes for such a powerful thing. If he can’t do it, then it will be okay if his parents have one that can open it.
Hong Guo herself didn't have the courage to cut her fingers, so she stretched out her hand to him, turned her head away, and closed her eyes: "Okay, I'll try, then you help mom."
The little one was only three and a half years old, but his hands were as steady as those of a 17 or 18-year-old adult. After the cut, he returned to his childish behavior and quickly shouted to Hongguo, "Mommy, it doesn't hurt."
Because the cut was made too quickly, by the time Hong Guo felt the instantaneous sting, blood had already oozed out. The pain was not that bad, just like being pinched by an ant.
"Ah, you are so great, it doesn't hurt mommy."
Hongguo dripped blood onto the bead and waited for a while. Although there was no reaction, the drop of blood did not flow down like drops of blood, but formed a small bulge and remained on the bead.
Hongguo was nervous, and the little guy grabbed her arm, crouched down and stared at her.
Soon, there was a reaction. After Jiang Hongguo's blood was absorbed by the beads, it seemed as if some kind of genetic authentication was activated. The beads, which were originally smooth and without marks, suddenly cracked and became very strange spiral textures.
Hongguo felt the beads were very heavy, as if she was wearing a gold bracelet weighing half a pound. Then, the weight disappeared and the twelve beads scattered and detached from Hongguo's wrist, then combined into one and floated in the air. There was actually a voice talking to Hongguo.
Jiang Hongguo was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
The little one, on the other hand, clapped his hands excitedly: "Mom is so awesome, and this thing is awesome too."
It was really amazing. Jiang Hongguo held the little one in his arms and asked, "What are you?"
The black beads can simulate any sound, and used a child's voice similar to Diandian's to relieve Jiang Hongguo's tension:
"A product of the civilization of the last era. That civilization was able to make great use of all the energy in nature and combine it with its own divine power to forge extremely powerful tools. The lifespan of individuals reached hundreds of years. In the end, they broke through the limit, abandoned their bodies, and their spirits became immortal."
Jiang Hongguo suddenly remembered those gods who could call the wind and rain in the myths. How could such a powerful group be defeated by the demigod he created?
"Not defeated." Zhuzi showed Jiang Hongguo the scene after Wen Yongshan entered the temple.
…
When Wen Yongshan entered the temple, he discovered that this was actually another dimension. Tall pillars supported the sky, which was covered with stars. Some gigantic mythical beasts, standing tall, imprisoned the gods who created them with their bodies, and claimed that they did so voluntarily.
Wen Yongshan's shocked heart fluctuated for an unknown period of time, and he finally asked the same question as Jiang Hongguo, asking these huge mythical beasts what exactly they were imprisoning in their bodies?
These giant beasts move slowly, think slowly, and time has no meaning here. They slowly speak:
"They are a brilliant civilization of gods. Everything they created has spirituality. When civilization evolved to the end, they all pursued immortality. They found a way to abandon their bodies and achieve a civilization with eternal spirit. If nothing unexpected happens, they can almost live forever."
"However, gods also have their own laws that they cannot escape. This world does not allow immortal life to exist. After gods become immortal, life will no longer be repeated. The entire race of gods will no longer have any new life. Without new life, they will lose their creativity, and the vitality of their race will become lower and lower. Gradually, their consciousness will collapse and they will choose to dissipate themselves."
"So, the gods, realizing the crisis of extinction, used the miracles of the gods to open up wisdom for the creatures of their era. This gave birth to the brilliant era of demigods. Demigods have evolved exceptionally well in all aspects, with a lifespan of thousands or even tens of thousands of years. They have inherited a large part of the divine power and abandoned the complex emotions that are not conducive to continuation. They are simply the perfect race in the gods' minds."
"Observing and manipulating the demigods restored their vitality. The enlightened demigods were not satisfied with their research, and even created new humans in their own image, but this time they were defective products."
"The newly created human race has completely degenerated in divine power, and their lifespan is only less than a hundred years. They also have cumbersome and redundant emotions. Because of these emotions that cannot be eliminated, humans will fight and kill each other. They have no evolutionary advantages, only flaws. They are complete failures and are abandoned by the gods. However, their reproductive capacity is amazing, and their numbers soon exceed ours by hundreds or thousands of times. We demigods have made good use of them and use them as an inexhaustible source of productivity."
Wen Yongshan was speechless for a moment, and then asked back after a while: "But the descendants you left behind are treated as defective humans by you, and they have no way to resist."
The huge dragon head lowered its head, taking a close look at this tiny human. Someone so small dared to resist a demigod.
Aren't they the same? After Kaizhi gained half of the divine power, he sensed the mockery of the gods in the high heavens and became extremely angry.
Hundreds of demigod tribes who had awakened their intelligence prayed to the gods they believed in to grant them peace, but those natural disasters, thunder and lightning struck their fellow tribesmen one after another. The fish could not cross the Dragon Gate and had to retreat back to being beasts without intelligence. The dragons could not withstand the natural disasters and would be reduced to ashes. All the sufferings were actually just a boring game played by the gods who created them.
No matter how devout their faith is, the gods don't care.
The demigods who had the chance to enter the Heavenly Palace turned out to be the best carriers for the gods. The gods used their bodies that had gone through tribulations to return and rule them. What a ridiculous game.
The demigods who knew the truth planned for hundreds of years. The demigod who ascended to heaven launched a counterattack. For the sake of all races, they sacrificed their lives and used their huge bodies as cages to imprison these gods. After building a temple to bury the secret, they destroyed this period of civilization and memory.
The demigods lived in peace for a long period of time until a warning was sent by miracles, and then they moved their tribe and relics to another time and space to avoid disaster.
There are two civilizations in their heyday in the temple, and future events can be calculated and deduced. Wen Yongshan asked: "In our world, did humans win in the end, or did the new gods created by humans win?"
