I paused slightly in surprise. I didn’t quite believe what Xiao Qin said. After all, I just wanted to understand the truth of history. How could I be involved with the way of heaven?
This made me think she was perfunctory, maybe she didn't want to say it at all.
Xiao Qin seemed to understand what I was thinking. She suddenly stretched out her hand, pointed at the village down the mountain, and asked me.
"Do you understand this world?"
I was a little confused and subconsciously replied: "I guess I understand. After all, we are in the age of the Internet and technology is so advanced. Besides, isn't the earth just that big?"
Xiao Qin smiled slightly.
"No, you don't understand this world. The world you understand is just the appearance you see with your eyes. Mountains are mountains, water is water. Life lasts for hundreds of years, birth, old age, illness, death, joy, anger, sorrow and joy!"
"Yes, isn't this how the world is originally?" I said somewhat nonchalantly.
"What if I told you that the world you see is all fake!"
"Fake?" I didn't quite understand what she meant.
"Yes, it's fake!" Xiao Qin said.
"Isn't that possible?" I shook my head, feeling that what she said was a bit too profound.
"Why is it impossible? It's because you can't understand it at all, or you can't see it through at all. Do you know why?"
"Why?"
"Because life is short, how can you use your limited life to see through the passage of time? Just like when I was young at that time, I could not see through the truth of this world."
Seeing that I still didn't understand, Xiao Qin suddenly changed the subject and asked an incomprehensible question: "Do you know how long people lived in ancient times?
I thought for a moment, and then I remembered a report about the Three Kingdoms period, so I said, "Probably less than half a hundred, right?"
Xiao Qin shook his head gently, "Half a hundred, that's modern people. If I told you that the life span of ordinary people in ancient times was only about 20 years old, would you believe it?"
"20 years old!!!"
I exclaimed softly, feeling incredible.
"Yes, you don't need to doubt this, because I have experienced all dynasties, and I can even tell you that the life span of each dynasty is 18 years old in the Xia and Shang dynasties, about 20 years old in the Zhou and Qin dynasties, and 22 years old in the Han dynasty.
4 He was 27 years old in the Tang Dynasty, 30 years old in the Song Dynasty, and 33 years old in the Qing Dynasty. The most recent period of the Kingdom was only about 35 years old. It was only after your country was established that he was only 50 or 60 years old. Until now, I don’t need to say more.
Already..."
Xiao Qin spoke a large number of figures as if giving a report, which made me secretly shocked and even more incredible.
After all, in today's era, it is normal for people to live sixty or seventy years as long as they do not get sick. However, I never thought that the life span of ancient people was so short.
"So, do you think that in a short life, you can clearly see the essence of this world?"
I remained silent and seemed to gradually gain some understanding.
"To give you another example, if someone told you thousands of years ago that humans could fly into the sky, greet each other thousands of miles away, and have someone deliver goods to your door with the move of a finger, would you have believed it?"
I shook my head, because we have all thought about such a problem, but it was just a kind of proud emotion that was intoxicated with ourselves.
Xiao Qin pointed down the mountain again, "Look, this is a village. You will feel that they are very small in the village, because you are used to the prosperity of big cities, but for those who have never seen the outside world, this place is
Heaven and earth are their world!”
After hearing this, I seemed to gradually understand something, but I still felt like I didn't quite understand something.
"It's like you now. You live in a huge city. What you see is the world in your heart. What you want is nothing more than the things that exist in the world, such as money and women... But have you ever thought about it?
What kind of existence is there outside your world?"
I was about to start talking about science, but Xiao Qin spoke first.
"You must think it's the starry sky, the sea, or the vast universe, right?"
I was immediately speechless and completely stunned, because the more Xiaoqing said it, the more incredible it became to me.
Xiao Qin smiled slightly, "Actually, I just want to tell you that the world you see is not necessarily the real world. It is a subconscious understanding formed by your knowledge and eyes. It is a graphic constructed by your subconscious mind.
, because this real world is originally constructed with consciousness, rather than the world constructing consciousness. However, this is also not a real world, because you humans have not even explored material civilization until now, let alone your subconscious mind.
So you say you understand the world, don’t you think it’s ridiculous?”
Xiao Qin's words shocked me even more.
Because I suddenly realized that this was a bit incredible, that I didn’t understand the nine-tailed demon fox in front of me at all.
I have always felt that although she has lived for thousands of years, deep down in my heart, I have always subconsciously believed that she is just an old monster who has lived for thousands of years, with memories of the past remaining.
Living in isolation in the world, drifting with the tide, without any support, our understanding of the world and technology is never as good as ours today.
But now when I heard her words, I suddenly felt that I was wrong, very wrong, maybe the opposite should be true. In front of her, I suddenly became like a joke!
This argument she made is not the first time I have heard of it. It has already involved dimensions, and is even surprisingly similar to a piece of cutting-edge scientific research I saw before.
OMG!
Is she really from ancient times?
Seeing that I was shocked by what she said, Xiao Qin couldn't help covering his mouth and laughed softly.
This smile is enough to confuse all sentient beings, but I don't have the slightest intention to appreciate it, because my heart is undergoing earth-shaking changes.
At this time, we had gradually approached the foot of the mountain, and the calm and peaceful mountain village was not far in front of me.
Xiao Qin pointed to a haystack in the distance and said, "Take me there! I'm a little tired!"
I nodded and walked towards the haystack.
Xiao Qin then spoke slowly: "Having said so much, I actually want to tell you that before you understand the truth, never try to figure out what you don't understand, and never try to touch taboos, such as yin and yang,
The way of heaven..."
"But what does this have to do with the truth of history?" I still don't quite understand.
Xiao Qin sighed softly, "After talking for a long time, you still want to know the answer, don't you?"
"yes"
"Even if the truth is dangerous?"
I took a deep breath.
"yes."
This time, Xiao Qin was silent for a long time, and his tone suddenly became more solemn than ever before.
"Okay, since you really want to know, I can help you, but there are some things that once you touch, you can't turn back, and may even affect your life, or even lose your life. Even so, you still have to
Do you insist?"
As the conversation progressed to this point, I could clearly feel Xiao Qin's solemn mood in and out of his words, and I also became nervous.
Because vaguely, I felt like I was about to touch a barrier that I had never touched before today.
