Chen Zihan was just saying it casually, but he didn't expect Lu Ruorong to say that.
"Then wait until she comes, and I'll have a good talk with her!" Chen Zihan laughed. "Let's find some time to study the distribution of the various districts during the Tang Dynasty, and which districts housed the nobles. Then we can carefully check the locations and buy the ones most likely to contain treasures!"
"You're taking it seriously?"
Lu Ruorong looked at Chen Zihan in surprise, then burst out laughing, "Your dream of getting rich is doomed to never come true!"
"Don't be so discouraging!" Chen Zihan pinched Lu Ruorong's arm and said seriously, "What if I get rich one day?"
Lu Ruorong rolled his eyes at Chen Zihan and said, "I'm saying that your dream of buying land and finding treasure will definitely not come true."
Chen Zihan asked again: "Then tell me, will my dream of getting rich come true?"
"What kind of wealth accumulation do you think constitutes getting rich?" Lu Ruorong asked back.
"Actually, I don't really have too much extravagance for wealth. I just feel..." Chen Zihan thought for a moment and then changed his words, "I'm the kind of person who is content with a small fortune. I know how to be satisfied!"
"Will you be satisfied?" Lu Ruorong said with disdain, "I think you are the greediest person. You want everything!"
"Your words really have a hidden meaning!" Chen Zihan smiled dryly.
Lu Ruorong snorted coldly, ignored Chen Zihan, and continued walking forward.
The Hejiacun cellar cultural relics exhibition is the highlight of the Shaanxi Museum, but the highlights of the Shaanxi Museum are not limited to this one place. The exhibits in other places are still very rich.
Chang'an is the place with the most dynasties as capitals in Chinese history, and is known as the ancient capital of thirteen dynasties.
During the Tang Dynasty and before, this place was a royal land and even became the center of the world several times.
A city with such a brilliant and glorious history has a profound heritage.
Chen Zihan knew a lot about history, and Lu Ruorong was an outstanding student in the history department. After the two entered the Shaanxi Museum, topics related to history naturally started.
From the Eastern and Western Zhou Dynasties to the Qin and Han Dynasties, and then from the Han Dynasty to the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the two became more and more excited as they talked.
We brought some food with us, so we had a quick lunch inside the exhibition hall. After we were full, we continued our visit. We took a lot of photos and discussed a lot. Both Chen Zihan and Lü Ruorong had a great time.
When you visit a place with such a strong historical charm, if the people you are traveling with understand history, the discussion will be very interesting and the experience will be even better.
During the discussion, the two had an argument.
Different people have different views on any historical event.
For example, Chen Zihan’s views on peasant uprisings in history are different from Lu Ruorong’s.
Chen Zihan believes that a large-scale peasant uprising will at least set back social productivity by a hundred years.
However, Lu Ruorong believes that there is no construction without destruction. If the old framework is not broken, the new structure will not emerge.
So Chen Zihan asked Lü Ruorong if the Huang Chao uprising had not happened, could the Tang Dynasty have lasted longer, or even experienced a revival? If Li Zicheng's Dashun Army had not happened, could the Qing Dynasty have entered the pass?
"History can't be based on what-ifs!" Lu Ruorong shook his head, unwilling to make assumptions about these events. "No matter what happens, there's too much chance. Just a small change can trigger a chain reaction. Don't Westerners have the butterfly effect? Furthermore, everything has two sides. We can't only see the positive and ignore the negative, nor can we ignore the positive because of the negative."
"Wow, that's such a philosophical statement!" Chen Zihan gave Lu Ruorong a thumbs-up. "This insight is truly beyond the reach of ordinary people!"
"Humph!" Lu Ruorong raised his head proudly, "I'm glad to know!"
"I've always known that our Rong'er is beautiful and smart. She's an outstanding girl who combines beauty and wisdom!"
"I can't stand you. I'm getting goosebumps." Lu Ruorong smiled and hit Chen Zihan. "When it comes to flattering others, you really have one thing after another! And who are your family members?"
Chen Zihan smiled and pulled Lu Ruorong forward.
It was around three o'clock in the afternoon when the two of them came out of the Shaanxi Museum.
After coming out of the Shaanxi Museum, Chen Zihan took Lu Ruorong to eat a bowl of noodles nearby, and then went to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda Square.
The South Square of Big Wild Goose Pagoda has been completed, but the North Square is still under construction. Construction is nearing completion and is expected to open within the year.
But now, only the South Plaza is open.
Passing by the Shaanxi Museum, you can see the enclosed construction site of the North Square. Through the gaps in the wall, you can vaguely see the style of the North Square.
The musical fountain in the North Square is quite nice. Chen Zihan remembers that when he and Jin Xiaolan visited Chang'an, they danced wildly to the rhythm of the musical fountain. As a result, they accidentally rushed near the fountain and got soaked.
Fortunately, the weather was not cold at that time, so the two of them didn't care and continued to have fun.
Back then, their relationship was no worse than his current one with Lu Ruorong. It was a pity...
"What's wrong?" Seeing Chen Zihan glance at the construction site in the North Square for a few times with a dazed look on his face, Lu Ruorong couldn't help but ask.
"Do you think people have past lives and present lives?"
This question made Lu Ruorong stunned for a moment.
"I don't know either!" Lu Ruorong shook his head. "If there is a past life, then who was your previous life? If there is reincarnation, then where will you be reincarnated to?"
"I once had a dream in which I saw myself standing on a hilltop on an ancient road, saying goodbye to several people in ancient costumes, and then walking off into the distance under their gaze. I had this dream quite often for a while, probably a few years ago! Later, when I was touring the Huihang Ancient Road, at a certain mountain pass, I saw a place exactly like the hilltop I had seen in my dream. The hilltop where I said goodbye, the large rock beside it, and the mountain path in the distance were all exactly the same as what I had seen in my dream."
Seeing the surprise on Lu Ruorong's face, Chen Zihan smiled slightly. "I was so shocked that I couldn't recover for a long time. I've never been to that place, but it appears frequently in my dreams. What do you think can explain this?"
Lu Ruorong looked at Chen Zihan strangely. "So you think people really have past lives and present lives? What you saw in your dream was a scene from your past life?"
"Maybe it's true!" Chen Zi Han sighed.
In fact, I encountered similar dreams many times in my previous life.
There is another place he often dreams of, and he knows exactly how to get there.
But he never went there.
Until one day, he happened to drive by there and found that the place was very familiar. So he drove forward according to his memory. As a result, what he saw along the way was the same as what he saw in his dream. Finally, he came to a lake, and the lake looked the same as he saw in his dream.
He knew that this was definitely not a coincidence, but he really couldn't figure out what was going on.
There were also many things that he couldn't even tell whether they were dreams or reality. It was not until a long time later that he realized that they were just dreams and did not happen in reality.
It’s just that the scenes in his dreams were too real, so real that he couldn’t tell whether it was reality or a dream.
Where does human life originate? Where does the soul go after death? Why are there so many things that cannot be explained by science? Is it possible that past lives and present lives really exist...
