These words immediately resonated with the tycoon and Tao Qiquan, and they said in unison: Isn’t it a paradise, it’s terrifying. Living in that place, people are insects, and insects are people! I wanted to express my dissent, but Hong Ling had already said loudly: All living beings are equal, human beings are life, and insects are also life! Hong Ling's words were obviously not convincing to the tycoon and Tao Qiquan, and they all laughed. Rock said in a deep voice: But I thought that place was a paradise. The tycoon sneered: But in Paradise, you are in great pain because you can't get love!

Rock smiled wryly, unable to speak. Bai Su and I did not participate in their discussion, because everyone has different personalities and likes different living environments. I often say that there is no unified opinion. A large number of people live happily under totalitarian rule. How to evaluate them, why bother to evaluate them! I also interrupted their discussion and said: The important thing is that we know that such a place exists, but why can't we find it.Or, is there any way this place can keep it from being discovered. When I said this, I looked at Wen Baoyu.Although Wen Baoyu has changed a lot, he still knows what I mean.

What I mean is: this is the core of the problem. When he communicates with the elders, he should ask the elders to answer this question. Wen Baoyu nodded to me, and said to everyone: As soon as there is a result, contact Wesley. He said, raised his hand, and was about to leave. I saw that Hong Ling seemed to want to say something, but was stopped by Bai Su. After Wen Baoyu and everyone left, Bai Su said to Hong Ling: He and the elder What kind of communication between them, even if they go to Baodi, will not be useful. Hong Ling said: "I mean, Xiaobao looks a little spooky, and he will be somewhat afraid when I'm by my side."

I sighed: Everyone has his own aspirations, so he can do whatever he likes! These are things after everyone has left, and after only Wen Baoyu left, Rock asked me a lot about Chen Changqing, and he didn't ask me any more until I told him what I knew at least twice go down. Yan Yan admired Chen Changqing very much, and his conclusion was: Mr. Chen Changqing is really amazing, a real warrior. Of course I like Chen Changqing to be praised by others, but I don't know why Rock has such a high evaluation of Chen Changqing. Rock continued: The goal he wants to pursue is not certain, even in concept, it cannot be established with certainty, but he has decided to pursue it, so he goes forward bravely and gives up everything he has.This kind of courage is really admirable.

Think about it, what Yan Yan said is also reasonable. Chen Changqing went to the mountain to learn Taoism. No one can tell what the Tao he wants to learn, but he did not hesitate and just went like this! It sure takes a lot of courage! Rock sighed for a long time, and said: Maybe if you want to pursue something, you must have such courage to succeed. At that time, everyone didn't pay much attention to Yan Yan's exclamation. They only raised their eyebrows happily, as if they thought Yan Yan had something to say, but she didn't say much. When Yan Yan was about to leave, he said to me: I am temporarily staying with the tycoon, and we will contact you at any time.

He already looked lonely, but now he looked even more indescribably lost.Seeing him like this, I am even more worried about Hu Shi. The rock has been tortured for nearly thirty years. Is it possible that Hu Hu will be like him in the future? While the bullshit and the rocks are arguably self-inflicted, if the blue people weren't so mysterious, so much wouldn't happen. I expressed my thoughts and expressed that I would find the blue man no matter what. Unexpectedly, Bai Su and Hong Ling strongly opposed my words. Hong Ling first said: I hope I will never find the place where the blue people live!How dreadful it would be if the place where they lived were discovered!

When Hong Ling said this, she not only showed a frightened expression, but also shuddered involuntarily, which seemed to make her feel terribly frightening at the thought of such a thing happening. Infected by her, I also immediately thought that if the blue race is discovered, the terrible consequences and the despicable behaviors of all races on the earth today will definitely not tolerate such a paradise. It didn't take long for it to be completely destroyed, and in the process of destruction, I am afraid that no blue person can survive! But Bai Su glared at me, and said: "The devil is born from the heart, and has nothing to do with the outside world. We have all seen that blue beauty, why is it that only nonsense is the only one going crazy?"That's his problem, not others'.

I raise my hands: I'm just talking too, I don't want the lives of the blue people to be disturbed. Hong Ling rubbed her hands and muttered to herself: It's better that the elder was not as good as the blue alien in the past, and now he still can't figure out the behavior of the blue alien back then, and he doesn't know what the existence of the blue man is all about! It was very interesting to see her worrying about inexplicable things. I stretched out my hand to shuffle her hair, and said: It is difficult to find out where the blue people live, but it is easier to prevent them from being discovered!

Hong Ling was very happy when she heard that, she looked at Bai Su, Bai Su nodded, Hong Ling even jumped up, and shouted: "Okay!"Our family, do our best to protect the blue people and prevent people from discovering where they live! I originally wanted to say that there is no need to give up searching, you can find it without letting others know, but then I thought, if you find it, should you let the rock know?Will the rock go to that place, and will it eventually cause damage to that place? Hong Ling had been working hard to find that place, but now she suddenly changed her direction. The development of the world is sometimes really unpredictable!

In the next two days, Hong Ling and I went to see Hu Hua and the Gobi Desert. The Gobi Desert not only immersed themselves in the study of the powder of those crystal fragments, but also sent that powder to people all over the world who they thought could find out the result, and asked those people to study it. Seeing them deal with these powders so seriously, I am very disapproving, but also very emotional. For this device where you can see the beautiful blue girl, I have an immature idea. I have discussed it with Bai Su Hong Ling. Hong Ling has some problems, but basically agrees with my idea, but Bai Su is noncommittal and has reservations. .

My assumption is: the one who built this device is probably the blue alien. Hong Ling's question is: under what circumstances did the blue aliens build such a device here? It is not difficult to answer this question. It is conceivable that when Chen Changqing's ancestors were building the big house, the blue aliens happened to pass by and thought it would be suitable to build such a device in the big house, so they built it, nothing special Case. Such an assumption may be too coincidental, but it is not surprising that many things in the world happen by coincidence. Hong Ling has another question: Why did the blue aliens set up such a device? My hypothesis is: the blue aliens and other aliens participated in the transformation of the earth's environment, with the purpose of producing advanced creatures with their genes on the earth, and other aliens can barely achieve their goals. It is true that advanced creatures have appeared, but in fact, this plan has failed extremely. The advanced creatures that appeared on the earth may have indeed accepted the genes of aliens in appearance, but they must have made a mistake, so their behavior is completely different. Does not meet the specifications of advanced creatures. (The elders thought it was because the population got out of control and became too much.) Everyone thinks that there are no blue races on the earth, but in fact there are blue races. The blue races exist in a way that is unknown on other earth. They live a good life without all the ugliness and The dispute is the realization of the ideal planned back then. In other words, only the blue aliens succeeded in the actions of the seven aliens.The blue aliens want to let the earth people know their success, so they want to let the earth people have a chance to see the blue people, so they set up such a device to show the earth people their success. While showing their success, they can also tell the earthlings that the earth will eventually be destroyed due to the actions of the earthlings, but that is not their fault, but the fault of the other six kinds of aliens. The greater possibility is that such a device is not only to show their success to the earthlings, but more importantly, to show their success to other advanced creatures in the universe, and to all aliens in the universe. Back then, seven kinds of aliens jointly implemented the plan to transform the earth. This event must have been quite a sensation among the advanced creatures in the universe. As a result, the plan failed, and the planners, of course, were disgraced and looked down upon. But the part executed by the blue aliens was successful.Of course the blue aliens want to let the universe know of their success. That's why the blue aliens set up such a device. I don't know if it's because I'm her father, Hong Ling accepted my hypothesis without reservation, and thought it was very reasonable. Later, when I learned about the elder’s analysis from Wen Baoyu, I was not surprised, because Wesley’s assumptions about unknown things have always been very close to the facts! Just because I assumed that the device was set up by the blue aliens, I think that the research on the Gobi Desert is impossible to produce results. With the ability of the earthlings, how to understand what the blue aliens do?Don't forget, even the abilities of the elders are far inferior to those of the blue aliens! Not only the elders, but also the other five kinds of aliens are not as capable as the blue aliens. If you compare the human world they built with the world built by the blue aliens, you can immediately know whether they are superior or not. Sure enough, a few days later, when they went to visit the Gobi Desert again, the two were downcast. Not only did their own research fail, but all the samples sent out also failed to test. I looked through the research reports that were sent back, and I couldn’t help laughing when I saw one. The conclusion of that report turned out to be: I suggest finding a person named Wesley and asking him to make a hypothesis. Our prediction for his hypothesis is: That's not earthly matter. It's funny, but it's not unreasonable. I told the Gobi Desert my hypothesis, and the Gobi Desert also felt that it was acceptable, and they sighed at the same time: When encountering aliens, people on Earth They didn't go on, of course they don't have to go on! After coming out of the Gobi Desert, I went to Chen Changqing’s big house to watch Nonsense. Last time, I told Nonsense my hypothesis. At that time, Nonsense was in a daze. I don’t know if I listened. Q: The image we see from the installation, what is the source of this image? I had expected that he would have such a question, so I prepared the answer, and I said: The source may be just a signal, a bunch of signals, through the device, displaying images, this is the best explanation. Nonsense muttered to himself: Even if it is a bunch of signals, it should have its roots! I said: Of course, in that place, just find a girl, that is the blue beauty we saw. Nonsense continued to talk to himself: that place, that place When he was talking, he looked at me, and I shook my head: I really can't imagine what kind of existence that place is, but I think from Wen Baoyu, at least there will be an acceptable idea for us. Hu Hua responded with a long sigh. And I was wondering why Wen Baoyu appeared in front of me when there was no news for so long after Wen Baoyu left. He seemed to have a lot to say, and he waited for Bai Su and Hong Ling to come together before he started talking. Before Bai Su and Hong Ling came, Wen Baoyu and I were alone for about an hour, and I thought this was a good opportunity to have a detailed talk with him. As soon as I opened my mouth to express this meaning, Wen Baoyu said: You and I have become non-conformist, mainly because of disagreements on how to deal with the remaining population of the earth. Now that we have made a new breakthrough on this issue, you will know soon. So I believe our relationship will be the same as before! Hearing him say that, of course I had to wait to see what he meant by the so-called new breakthrough. After Bai Su and Hong Ling arrived, I frowned as soon as Wen Baoyu started to speak, because he still started with the words of the elders.Wen Baoyu said: The elder said that according to all the information, including the experience of the rock, the images he saw, and his understanding of the blue aliens, his opinion is: there is no need to spend any more effort to find that place. No! It is very incomprehensible that the elder came to such a conclusion. He is not saying that there is no such place, but that there is absolutely no such place. What is the mystery? Wen Baoyu made a gesture to ask us not to ask questions, and he continued: The elder said that when he first came into contact with the blue alien, he knew that the blue alien was the only advanced creature in the universe who had mastered advanced miniaturization technology. At that time, they proposed to use this miniaturization technology in the transformation plan of the earth, but because the other six aliens knew nothing about this technology, they opposed it, and it turned out to be useless. Wen Baoyu suddenly mentioned miniaturization technology, and Bai Su and I had never heard of it, so we couldn't figure it out. Hong Ling raised her eyebrows and said: "I heard that it is a technology that shrinks everything, including life, at a high multiple?"And it is said that the size of a living body is inversely proportional to the length of life? Hong Ling was not sure about what she said, but Wen Baoyu nodded repeatedly: Yes, the smaller the living body, the longer the lifespan. At this time, I had vaguely grasped some clues, and I said: Back then, the six kinds of aliens opposed the use of this technology in the plan, but the blue aliens still used it in their own part? Wen Baoyu said: The elder's speculation is exactly the case, so the blue race has been developing on the earth, but no one knows their existence, because they When Wen Baoyu said this, I couldn't help crying: Is it because they are small?Blue people are villains? Bai Su also shouted: "It still doesn't make sense, how small are they?" Wen Baoyu took a breath: This is exactly the elder's problem.The elder said that he still doesn't know anything about the miniaturization technology mastered by the blue aliens. He only guesses the multiples of miniaturization. There is almost no limit and it depends on the needs. sand! Wen Baoyu conveyed the elder's words, we listened, including Hong Ling, the only reaction was to shake the head, not disbelief, but simply unable to activate all the nerves in the brain to accept this kind of words. A mountain can be reduced to a grain of sand, so what can a person be reduced to? A bacterium! A person can be reduced to the size of a bacterium! And according to the theory that body size is inversely proportional to life span, a person the size of a bacterium will live tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands or even more ten thousand times longer than ordinary people! (The Rock never saw a dead man in that place, never saw any loss of life!) I shook my head and said: How is it possible?How can it be? Wen Baoyu spread his hands: How is it possible, the elders don't know, only the blue aliens in the universe know. Although I have entered into the hypothesis (the elder's hypothesis), I still shook my head involuntarily and said: The elder means that the place is very small, so small I found it hard to continue, Wen Baoyu nodded, and said: It is so small that it may only be one square centimeter, or even smaller, so small that it is beyond our imagination and beyond the imagination of the elders! The fact that the elder can say such a thing proves that he is quite modest, and it also proves that the ability of the blue alien is far superior to other aliens. My thoughts have not yet returned to normal from the disorder, Wen Baoyu said again: So the elder's opinion is that there is no need to look for that place again, the situation is: it is not that you will never find it, but even if you find it, it is right in front of your eyes, and you will not find it. Can't find it's so small you can't even see it! I took a deep breath and imagined that on that island far away in the wild age, among the high mountains and primeval forests, I was looking for a place so small that it might be invisible to the naked eye. Work is even simpler. How much dizziness I felt, Wen Baoyu continued: The elder speculated that the place was protected by a protective cover, and the protective cover had many other functions besides protection, such as maintaining the composition of the air, etc., of course all The masterpiece of the blue alien, the details of which cannot be fully known. After hearing this, my brain activity began to return to normal, and I digested the assumptions and analysis of the elders conveyed by Wen Baoyu. Although it is far beyond my imagination, but after thinking about it again and again, it is not unacceptable to such a hypothesis.And accepting this assumption, the only conclusion is the opinion of the elders: there is no need to look for that place at all! I smiled wryly: Then, what do the elders think about what happened to the rock and the installations in the big house? Wen Baoyu had a slight teasing look, as if he was saying that I have always disapproved of the elder, and now I have to listen to his opinion.I pretended not to see it because I really needed the advice of the elders. I couldn't imagine that that place might be an extremely miniature existence. Wen Baoyu said: The opinion of the elders is: the blue aliens are constantly observing the living conditions of the blue race on the earth, and they also intend to make their achievements known to the earth people, or announce it to the whole universe.When the rock fell from the cliff, the blue alien should have been there, and it shrank him into that place.It is more believed that in that place, blue aliens keep appearing, which is why the rock was driven away.The blue aliens hope to spread the information of the blue race on the earth from bottom to top through him. Bai Su and I have no objection to this analysis. Wen Baoyu continued: "The devices in the big room are of course also made by blue aliens." The opinion of the elders he conveyed next was exactly the same as my earlier assumption, so there is no need to repeat it.The difference is that the elder said that the source of the image we see may be a beam of signals, or it may be a real blue person. Because this blue person is so small that the naked eye cannot see it, so after the device is destroyed , of course, disappeared. Regarding this point, I have something to add, I think the blue aliens may be equally tiny, they exist that we cannot see, they may have been there at that time, and took the blue beauty away! Later, I added the elder's assumptions and mine, and told Hu Hua that he could only shake his head. He couldn't accept such an assumption, and I couldn't do anything about it. I couldn't force these thoughts into his brain! At that time, Wen Baoyu finally conveyed the elder's words, which I never thought of beforehand.Wen Baoyu said: The elder said that he admired the blue alien's ability very much. After such a long time, he still couldn't imagine the main reason for the success of the blue alien's plan, so if Wesley had the opportunity to contact the blue alien If you are a blue alien, be sure to inform him so that he can better understand the blue alien. I really can't think that aliens want to contact aliens, and I, an earthling, are required to be the middleman!This elder really thinks highly of me! Wen Baoyu then expressed his own opinion: If you really have the opportunity to come into contact with blue aliens, you must remember to let them communicate with the elders. Think about it, if you can shrink people, as long as they shrink ten times and a hundred times, they will still exist Is overpopulation on Earth a problem? Only then did I understand what he meant when he said that there is no longer any difference of opinion between us. There is no need to eliminate the population at all, as long as the number of people is reduced, the problem can be solved! I was a little dumbfounded, I didn't know how to react for a while, Wen Baoyu said again: Do you still remember that I once imagined transforming people into dust mites?That's the same as shrinking people down, I really had the foresight, haha!Ha ha! In the midst of loud laughter, he waved his hands and walked away. After Wen Baoyu left, I still stayed for a long while before I heard Bai Su say: Miniaturize everything almost infinitely, and blue aliens are not the only ones who know in the universe. I was taken aback for a moment, and looked at Bai Su. Bai Su said: ABCD. I nodded. Those who are familiar with Wesley's story know what ABCD is all about. There is no need to explain it. Those who are not familiar with it will not be able to explain it. You must get acquainted with Wesley's story. Bai Su continued: B is on the earth, and his followers are proclaiming the mystery to the people on the earth. There are records that mentioned this infinite miniaturization situation. Put it in a mustard seed.This record, no one has ever understood, is obviously an explanation of infinite miniaturization! I was speechless for a full three minutes, and Hong Ling was the same as me, but Hong Ling spoke first, and she shouted: In the "Vimalakirti Sutra‧Inconceivable Products", there is such a record! I also woke up at this time, and said: Mustard Nasumi! Bai Su let out a long breath: This means that the highest and largest Mount Sumeru can be incorporated into the tiniest and smallest mustard seeds. Not only the blue aliens know that it can be done, B also at least knows that there is such a possibility exist! I also let out a sigh of relief. Originally, it was really difficult to accept the elder's idea. Now that I know that B has declared this situation a long time ago, of course I can accept it without reservation. When talking about all this with Daheng, Tao Qiquan, Rock, Zhujin, Shuihong, and Gao Xing, they all found it hard to imagine. However, after citing the declaration in the Vimalakirti Sutra, they all accepted the elder's assumption. Rock was very dazed at the time, he was like this often, so no one paid much attention to it.As a result, something happened later, and everyone felt somewhat negligent at that time. What happened afterwards? Not long after, Rock left a suicide note and jumped off the cliff he fell off by himself, but of course his body could not be found. His suicide note was very simple, saying that he had to go back to that place, and Chen Changqing's whereabouts gave him the inspiration that death would be the price. For him, going back was death, and death was going back. Is it possible to simply use the four words "seeing death as home" to summarize the rock's behavior? (full text)
