Chapter 2667 The Fixed World
After everyone finished cleaning up, Zhao Han suggested having some hot chocolate to refresh themselves.
Xiao Huan responded immediately.
She was so delicious that she quickly lit a small fire at the edge of the camp and cooked a hot drink.
Tyler looked at the steaming coffee pot and was a little confused: "Do you think those villagers will be willing to help us?"
Lisa smiled slightly: "As long as we show sincerity, I believe we will."
At this time, Zhao Han stood up, clapped his hands and said, "Okay, is everyone ready? Let's go! ”
Through the dense forest, everyone finally arrived at a legendary village.
The buildings here look both ancient and mysterious.
The people in the village looked at their group of foreign explorers with curious eyes.
Each of them looked very honest.
A white-haired elder stepped forward and said slowly: "Welcome to our village, where are you from?"
Zhao Han stepped forward and smiled. : "We come from afar and are looking for some clues about the stone tablet. We hope to get your pointers."
The elder stroked his beard: "You are talking about that stone tablet, right."
< br>"There are indeed some ancient legends, but you need to show respect and understanding of nature before I can talk about them in detail."
"Well, more money, right? I understand this." Xiao Huan blinked his big eyes, and then gave out a lot of gold coins.
The eyes of the villagers suddenly changed.
The elder's demeanor changed, and he suddenly smiled and said: "Okay, I'll tell you right now..."
After he finished speaking, he only took two gold coins: "Okay. , you can take the rest back.”
Little Huan stretched out his hand, and the gold coin was gone again.
After learning the news, Zhao Han and Xiao Huan led their small expedition team back to the stone monument.
Zhao Han began to use the clues given by the elders to interpret the stone tablet.
Soon, she had a great harvest.
This is what the dragon meant by "giving up oneself".
"When the villagers saw the gold coins in Xiao Huan's hand, their eyes flashed with greed." Taylor suddenly said.
"Yes, we inspire greed in their hearts."
"I'm afraid the gold coins in Xiao Huan's hands have become their hope to escape poverty."
Xiao Huan smiled and said: "Whatever they want, they Just come."
Everyone said something to me and smiled, but they didn't take this matter to heart.
…………
Meanwhile, as they say, the villagers followed quietly.
They began to secretly observe every move of Xiao Huan and Zhao Han, and the jealousy in their hearts spread like poisonous snakes.
Such gold coins are enough for them to move out of this forest and live in a big city in the kingdom.
Many people envy the peaceful life in the forest.
They can only say one word: P.
The simplest thing is that here, a small illness can cause the entire village to perish.
If a person is infected with wind cold, if he is unlucky and spreads quickly throughout the village, the village will be doomed.
It is possible to find medicines for treatment outside.
It is impossible to count on herbs here.
Many villages are like this, dying one after another in the forest.
Except for diseases, there are daily necessities such as salt, cloth, and ironware.
It is very scarce. It is not easy to get salt in the forest.
Unless a salt mine is found.
In that case, they might live more comfortably.
And there may be nothing new and no change in the village for decades.
As night fell, the expedition's bonfire swayed in the forest. The team members sat around the fire and shared stories with each other.
Xiao Huan said excitedly: "Old Zhao, do you know what the secret of the stone tablet is?"
"Tell me quickly."
"Haha, I only know one thing, everyone has to interpret the stone tablet individually. I know my secret, and you have to find yours too." Zhao Han shook his head.
She knows what it means to give up oneself.
That is to abandon the impurities in the soul.
People are always like this.
Life occasionally loses its purpose, becomes empty and lonely, and there are too many impurities in the soul.
The so-called abandonment is to abandon this part and let the soul return to innocence, tenacity, upwardness and positivity...
This is the meaning of trial.
Xiao Huan raised her head and looked at the stone tablet in the distance. She rolled her big eyes: "I saw distressing scenes of adults teaching children."
Everyone was thoughtful.
At this moment, the Mirror of Soul suddenly gave off a faint light.
It began to show a picture on the mirror.
In the picture, a group of villagers holding torches quietly approached the expedition camp. Their eyes were full of greed.
"The gold coins are ours."
"Yes, they have so many, but they only gave us two."
"The damn elder said before he died that he could not touch these gold coins. , It’s ridiculous to say it’s a curse.”
“Yes, gold is so good. I remember that a caravan came to our village, and we ate all the people in their caravan before we found one. A small piece of gold, that man wants to use it to buy his life.”
“If you eat him, the gold will be ours too.”
"Assholes, you idiots, I said at the time that you should do business well, and more caravans will come in the future, bringing more gold. But you were greedy, and after eating, there were rumors of cannibalism. Due to the reputation of the devil, no caravans will go deep here anymore," a leader cursed angrily.
“That’s what my grandpa ate, and it has nothing to do with me.”
“Yes, that’s what my grandpa ate too, and I can’t make the decision.”
The villagers blamed each other in the mirror.
Finally, they planned to attack the expedition team in the dead of night and steal the gold coins in Xiao Huan's hands.
They made the same choice as their grandfather:
If you operate slowly, you can only let future generations benefit and suffer the hardships yourself.
It is better to enjoy the blessing now...
Zhao Han and Xiao Huan were shocked by the early warning of the Soul Mirror.
They were not aware of the coming danger.
But it shocked the villagers' courage, stupidity, ugliness, and despicability.
Their elders are wise. They only took two gold coins, did not cause trouble, and finished their own work.
They actually wanted to follow us.
Zhao Han held Xiao Huan’s hand tightly.
She was afraid that the other party would go too crazy and turn a good fairy tale into a dark wind.
A trace of surprise flashed in Xiao Huan's eyes: "Can't they see how strong I am?"
"Yes, you can even conjure gold coins," Taylor and Lisa also felt strange.
Their outfits look like the legendary warrior team at first glance.
The villagers are so bold?
“Maybe they are still in the mindset of beasts.”
These villagers, if they still want to live, must take immediate action, that is, kneel down and beg Xiao Huan not to beat them to death.
In order to prevent Xiao Huan from taking action himself, the members of the expedition team took action quickly. They used the terrain of the forest to set up traps and alarms.
They knew it would be a tough battle.
The hard part is to try to find innocent villagers who have a glimmer of hope for salvation.
They understand that some people are just called over by others in a daze.
Just like there are some children among those villagers.
They also held sticks, and in their eyes, it was just a lively game.
Just like when villagers competed for water, many children yelled and hit the people on the other side in a lively manner, and then were gouged to death with a hoe.
Before he died, his mind became clearer: it turned out that someone was going to die.
It is through this struggle that they can truly grow.
"People are born without knowing good and evil, right and wrong. Only by learning can they understand, and only by being punished can they know kindness."
Taylor said this.
So when the villagers quietly approached the camp, they triggered the trap set by the expedition team. Screams echoed in the night sky.
The members of the expedition team quickly attacked. They used their wisdom and courage to successfully arrest all the villagers.
Xiao Huan held a torch and burned their hair one by one.
“You are so courageous, I admire you very much.”
“I have tried my best to think about it but I can’t figure it out, how dare you rob us.”
"Do you want you to tell me?"
The mirror of the soul lay quietly in Xiao Huan's hands, its light gradually dimming, but it has completed its mission.
It allowed Zhao Han and Xiao Huan to see clearly the complexity of human hearts.
It also allowed them to understand their true value.
The villagers didn't say anything, they all seemed stupid.
"Mirror, then tell me."
The mirror of the soul floated immediately.
Xiao Huan stood in front of the mirror of the soul. The mirror rippled like water waves, reflecting the greedy and distorted faces of the villagers.
Xiao Huan started poking at the villagers’ portraits in the mirror one after another.
Every time he poked one, a villager began to say:
“I don’t know why, but there is a voice in my heart telling me to do that.”
“Me neither You know what you’re thinking, you’ve got gold coins and you don’t have anywhere to spend them.”
"Who told me gold is valuable?"
Xiao Huan was having more and more fun.
Zhao Han suddenly felt a heavy heart, as if he was tightly bound by invisible chains.
She knew that these villagers were probably not inherently greedy.
They should be controlled by the power of fairy tales, their behavior patterns are fixed, and they lose their real reasons.
Xiao Huan didn't understand, but she did.
So she said:
"I understand, giving up oneself actually includes this hint, right?"
"The people in the story all gave up their true feelings. They are manipulated and can only show the most prominent and impressive points."
"For example, the villagers' stupidity and greed."
"It seems like an inner story, but isn't there such a thing in the outer world we experience?"
Everyone was thoughtful.
Xiao Huan took a deep breath, her eyes were very confused, revealing clear stupidity.
In contrast.
Zhao Han is much firmer and clearer, like the morning light penetrating the fog.
She reached out her hand and gently touched the surface of the Soul Mirror.
The cold touch made her heart beat faster. She knew she was about to make a big decision, one that could change the world.
"Release them," Zhao Han said softly. Although her voice was weak, it was full of power. "Let them have real freedom and let them choose again."
As As she spoke, the mirror of the soul began to glow softly, and the light gradually became stronger, and finally turned into a pillar of light that shot straight into the sky.
The figures of the villagers gradually became blurred in the beam of light, and their faces showed expressions of confusion and confusion, as if they were waking up from a long dream.
Then the trapped villagers disappeared and returned to the village.
Zhao Han took a step back, her eyes closely following the figures that were gradually disappearing.
She knew that all she could do was to give them freedom, and how they chose would be up to them.
As the last ray of light dissipated, the figures of the villagers completely disappeared into the air.
Zhao Han turned around, her steps firm and powerful.
She knew that she had more important things to do - to find the truth about this fairy tale world and the secrets hidden behind it.
Everyone in the expedition team was silent.
Soon they were on the road again, at least they reached the village.
I found that the villagers seemed to have forgotten everything and treated them very warmly and honestly.
The elder is not dead either.
After hearing their purpose, he told them a secret.
Then everyone followed the secret instructions and came to a dense forest.
The air in the forest is fresh and moist, and the trees are tall and ancient. Their branches and leaves sway gently in the wind, making a rustling sound.
Everyone walked on the forest path, their footsteps light and fast.
Now they are feeling nervous and excited.
They already know that there is an ancient secret hidden deep in the forest, a secret about the origin of this fairy tale world.
They must find it.
Only by uncovering this secret can they truly understand the world and truly help the villagers who are bound by fixed behavior patterns.
There are many more people.
At this moment, Wen Rensheng was checking the actions of Soul Mirror and Xiao Huan again.
Yes, this thing is still very good as a novice assistant.
It will be much more convenient to take care of the baby in the future.
It is much more convenient to train some capable novices.
After walking through the forest for a long time, they came to an open space.
There is another huge stone tablet in the center of the clearing. The stone tablet is engraved with the same strange symbols.
They shine mysteriously in the moonlight.
Zhao Han stepped forward, she stretched out her hand and gently touched the symbols.
Suddenly, the stele made a low roar, the ground began to shake, and the stele slowly rose, revealing a downward staircase.
No one hesitated. They took a deep breath and stepped up the stairs.
The stairs wind down, leading to an unknown depth.
Their footsteps echoed on the stone steps, and each of them felt more and more nervous.
Actually, they shouldn't be nervous.
I’m nervous for some reason.
That’s because we don’t know what’s waiting ahead.
But they all know that they must face it bravely.
Finally, a huge stone door appeared at the end of the stairs.
The stone gates are carved with vivid murals, depicting an ancient and mysterious world.
Everyone reached out their hands together and gently pushed the stone door open.
The stone door slowly opened, revealing a huge underground palace.
The interior of the palace is magnificent, with countless gems and gold inlaid on the walls and ceiling, emitting a dazzling light.
In the center of the palace, there is a huge crystal ball, which is suspended in the air, slowly rotating, and emitting a soft light.
Everyone walked into the palace one after another.
Everyone’s eyes were deeply attracted by the crystal ball.
They know that this crystal ball is the core of this fairy tale world, and it contains all the secrets of this world.
Zhao Han slowly walked towards the crystal ball, her heartbeat beating violently in her chest.
She felt that she might have undergone a major transformation today.
She stretched out her hand and gently touched the surface of the crystal ball.
Suddenly, the crystal ball made a crisp sound, and then began to emit an even stronger light.
She closed her eyes, a warm power poured into her body, and her consciousness began to merge with the crystal ball.
She saw the past of this world, the suffering of the villagers who were bound by fixed behavioral patterns, and the hope and future of this world.
She saw a possible future, a future where villagers could choose freely and live a happy life.
She knew she had to find a way to make this future a reality.
“It turns out that the many worlds that my teacher took me to travel actually have the same logic hidden in the secret.”
“The real salvation is not to save the surface, but to save the core. Let the world return to a state of free growth, rather than being limited to those limited themes."
Wen Rensheng couldn't help but smile when he heard this.
very good.
This realization is very good.
