Chapter 1678
A few farmers stood on the path and stared at the snake's corpse for a while. Suddenly, they realized that there was only the lower half of the snake's corpse-the first half must have run away. When they ran over, they saw a blurry white shadow slip into the forest.
This big snake was so fierce. If it didn't die, what would they do when it recovered and came back to take revenge?
Their minds were filled with legends of mountains, rivers, spirits, and ghosts. The more they thought about it, the more afraid they became. In fact, they were fine. If the snake wanted revenge, it would definitely find the man with the sword first. But now that they had made up their minds to follow him and achieve something, how could they watch him die in the snake's mouth?
What to do?
They thought about it and decided that they might as well go all out. Since the snake was seriously injured, they might as well chase after it and eliminate it at its roots. It was also a way to get rid of the worry of the man with the sword. They couldn't beat the snake that was in good condition, but could they not beat the snake that was only half-broken?
They had come to a decision. They clenched the hoes in their hands and found the blood flowing from the front half of the snake's body. They pulled aside the waist-deep weeds and began to track it.
They were afraid that there would be poisonous creatures hidden in the grass, and they were even more afraid of stepping into a man-eating swamp. They did not dare to walk too fast. They stretched out their hoes to clear the grass in front of them to find a way, and at the same time, they scared away the poisonous insects and beasts in the grass.
The snake had shed a lot of blood, and the bloodstains were very obvious. It wriggled its way up a mound.
When they reached this point, some people became afraid. They said that the snake had lost so much blood, so it must be dead. Why don't we go back and find the village constable? If the giant snake struggled to return to its nest before it died, what if there were other giant snakes in the snake nest? wouldn't they be seeking their own deaths?
The others were also hesitating when they suddenly heard the sound of sobbing in the night wind. It sounded like a woman's sobbing, and it seemed to be coming from the top of the hill, very close to them.
Just imagine, in the middle of the night, in the quiet forest, the ground was covered in the stinky blood of the snake, and the sound of a woman's faint crying ... It was really terrifying.
The few farmers were scared witless. If they had not peed their pants before, they might have peed again.
They stood there in a dilemma. If they retreated like this, how would they answer if the village constable asked them about this matter tomorrow? To say that he was scared away by a woman's crying? He would definitely be laughed at by the village constable, and he would not be entrusted with any important tasks in the future.
In the end, they huddled together and looked out for each other. They gathered their courage and carefully walked up the mound.
A dilapidated wooden house sat on a small mound. In front of the wooden house was an old woman with disheveled, gray hair, stroking the snake's corpse and crying on the ground.
With the help of the moonlight, they could see clearly that there was a house and a person. This person even had a shadow, so it was most likely not a ghost. Moreover, the snake corpse on the ground was completely dead, so it was unlikely that it would jump up and hurt people.
In this era, the people had no means of living. It was common for people to hide in the deep mountains to avoid military disasters and escape from labor.
When the farmers saw that it was a living person and not a female ghost, their courage was boosted. They pointed at the old woman and shouted,""Why are you crying?"
The old woman used her worn-out sleeve to wipe the corners of her eyes. She lowered her head and sobbed."He killed my son, so I cried."
In this chaotic era, it was common for people to die. But the farmers looked around and didn't see her dead child, so they asked,""What do you mean by" kill upon seeing "?"
The old woman stroked the snake's corpse pitifully and replied,""My son, the son of the White Emperor, turned into a snake and ruled the path. Today, he was killed by the red Emperor, so I cried."
What?
The farmers were all dumbstruck. What nonsense was this old woman talking about? Her child was the son of the White Emperor and had turned into a huge snake blocking the way, but was killed by the son of the red Emperor?
How could a human turn into a snake? what Red Emperor and white Emperor? are they deliberately bullying US farmers who have not seen the world?
They were also people who bullied the weak and feared the strong. In the past, they were afraid of snakes and ghosts, but now that the snake was dead, there was only a crazy old woman left. What else did they have to be afraid of?
They looked at each other. The old woman was acting suspiciously. If they didn't beat her up, she wouldn't tell the truth. Besides, they had been eating mountain rats and wild fruits for several days, and they always had diarrhea. Maybe the old woman had food at home. They could knock her to the ground and search for food. If they could bring food back, the village constable would definitely praise them for their ability.
The farmer who was in charge of scouting the path was eager to save his face, so he was filled with anger. Without saying a word, he picked up the hoe and hacked at the old woman's back. If this hit landed, she would be killed on the spot.
In this day and age, human lives were like grass, so what if they killed people? it wasn't rare for them to even eat people.
However, his determined attack missed. When he looked closely, the old woman's figure was nowhere to be seen.
The others were also shocked, and they retreated with pale faces.
Ghost! It was indeed a ghost!
If he wasn't a ghost, how could he have disappeared into thin air?
They didn't know who started it, but they threw down their hoes and ran away. They didn't even dare to look back, for fear that they would see the female ghost chasing after them.
After they ran away, the old woman appeared again.
She took off her tattered clothes and put them back in the wooden cabinet. She patted the grass dust off her hair and took out a wet tissue to wipe her face, arms, legs, and hands clean.
The sailor suit of unknown material did not have a speck of dust on it. It was even cleaner than her face. After all, it was a nano material from the future.
After she was done, she heaved a long sigh of relief.
The sky in the East was gradually turning white, and it was not far from dawn.
The morning breeze was exceptionally fresh and even a little sweet.
At this time, the group of farmers had probably found the drunk man with the sword lying on the grass. They shook him awake and told him about it.
The snake corpse on the ground suddenly underwent some strange changes. The original white scales gradually faded, and the snake corpse gradually became transparent, revealing the grass that had been crushed under the body.
She was used to such strange scenes and was not surprised at all.
After a while, the snake's corpse became completely transparent, and then ... The crushed grass tenaciously straightened its back?
The snake's corpse did not become transparent, but disappeared, including the bloodstains that stretched all the way here. The second half of the snake's corpse that was left on the path was the same, completely wiping away the traces that it had once existed in this era.
She didn't do it. She didn't do anything. It was the game that took away its body and everything. It deconstructed and reconstructed its body tissue, gave it life again, and brought it back to the modern world. It appeared as an elf to be captured, and had a fated encounter with the southeast Asian Li Shentai.
"Speaking of which, the Grand scribe once said,'a scholar's words may not have ghosts or gods, but there are things in his words.'"
She mumbled, but there was no one around. Even the snake corpse had disappeared, and she didn't know who she was talking to.
"When old Mister si Maqian was writing this piece of history, he must have been very confused about how a living person like si Maqian could just disappear into thin air. As a historian, he didn't believe in ghosts and gods, but he had to objectively record all the strange things that had happened, so he still wrote it down according to the rumors. " She recalled the history books she had read.
"Although the historical records are not true history, old Mr. Sima Qian still took a responsible attitude and pointed out that Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's bonfire and Fox cry were fake. He deliberately ordered people to play tricks to pull the flag and pull the Tiger's skin ... He may have doubted the truth of the White Snake killing because it was more mysterious than the bonfire and Fox cry, but first, the farmers were right, and second ..." A meaningful smile appeared at the corner of her mouth."Old Mr. Sima Qian is the historian of the Han Dynasty. How would I dare to suspect him ... Even if I suspect him, I can't expose him. "
"However, it doesn't matter if history is true or not. What's important is that people believe in the true history, and because of that belief, it produces power, right?"
She gently patted the lapels of her sailor suit, picked up the thing that looked like a mobile phone, and swiped the screen.
One after another, life-like pet sprites appeared on the screen.
"Sigh, all the elves in the conference room have to be sent to the era and place they should go to." She sighed."It's so troublesome. My bad father always puts all these troublesome things on me ... But, thinking on the bright side, at least it's much better than staying at home and being forced to do homework by teacher Xiaodie. I can only comfort myself like this."
"The heart is ambitious, but the body of a butterfly is helpless. Isn't this a true portrait of teacher Xiaodie? "Unfortunately, she's a butterfly and doesn't even have an ID card, so it's not convenient for her to show her face in public. Otherwise, with her level, she would probably become the greatest scientist after Einstein ..." She shook her head helplessly."But no matter how much homework you give me, I can't be the second her ..."
She only dared to complain in a low voice when teacher Xiaodie was not around. Otherwise, if teacher Xiaodie heard her, she would probably be punished by doubling her homework ...
"Forget it. Where should I go next?"
She swiped the screen and the elfin on the screen changed rapidly like a trotting horse lamp. When it stopped, it was a macaw.
"The Phoenix cries at Qishan ..." She rubbed her stomach helplessly. It was time for breakfast. She really didn't want to go back to this wild and ancient era where the food was so bad. She had to bear with it and send the parrot there before going home for breakfast.
At this time, a white and fat little bug crawled out from under the collar of the sailor suit. Its body was milky white like cheese, and it looked like a Caterpillar, but without hair. It had two big and black eyes on its head. It wriggled its body and looked around innocently, looking like the funny snacks in Japan, the sweet wriggling worm.
Its eyes were absolutely black, as if they could absorb all light, like bottomless black holes.
"Buggy, let's go. Let's quickly finish our business and go home for dinner." She urged as she brought her palm close to her collar.
It seemed to understand her words and nodded. It wriggled its body and slowly climbed from her clothes to her palm. It stuck its head out of her palm and kept shaking, as if it was sniffing the air.
As its head shook, a strange scene appeared.
The clear air in front of her suddenly rippled, as if someone had touched the surface of the water.
The ripples expanded rapidly, and a strange distortion appeared in the space, forming a translucent vortex.
The vortex spun slowly with the little bug as the center. Standing in front of the vortex, one would feel as if everything around them was being sucked into the vortex, not even light could escape.
From her point of view, the vortex reflected another starry sky. It looked no different from the current starry sky, but it was a starry sky from an even earlier era, waiting for her to bring the macaw there and fulfill its fate of a Phoenix singing in Qishan.
She was already used to this kind of scene. She easily lifted her foot and took a step forward. The leg sank into the vortex and disappeared from the air, followed by her body and the other foot.
She walked into the vortex just like that.
When her body completely disappeared, the vortex also slowly calmed down and returned to the same air as the surroundings.
The dilapidated wooden house was quiet, as if nothing strange had happened. Only the shallow shoe prints on the ground proved that someone who did not belong to this era had come here, but unfortunately, no one would notice.
Pet attributes:
[General name]: mysterious worm
[Rarity: Unknown]
[Characteristics]: your name is known throughout the universe, who can compare to you in a thousand years!
[Unlock history]:
Wormholes, also known as Einstein's morosen bridge, were known for their shape, which was similar to the holes made by worms. They were multidimensional tunnels in the universe. This concept was proposed by the Austria physicist, Ludwig Fleming in 1916. In the paper "particle problem in the general theory of relativity" co-published by Albert Einstein and Nathan Rosen in 1935, it was pointed out that wormholes were the space-time binding solution of the general theory of relativity.
Wormholes were created by the rotation of planets and gravitational forces. They were like whirlpools in the sea, omnipresent and fleeting. If the whirlpools in the ocean were strong enough, they could even go from the surface of the ocean to the bottom of the ocean, as if they were connecting two different worlds.
Einstein believed that wormholes could be used for instantaneous space transfer or time travel.
Earth was the cradle of humans, but humans could not always live in the cradle because humans were already mature enough. The cradle was too narrow, and one day, it would become old and dilapidated.
Since ancient times, humans had longed to leave the surface of the earth to travel the starry sky, and countless people had paid the price of their lives for this.
Humans yearned to find another habitable planet to meet with other space civilizations, and the conventional way of interstellar travel was greatly limited.
As the greatest Master of Science in human history, Albert Einstein's thoughts and theories were far beyond the times. Even in the future, humans were still guided by the theory of relativity. Ever since Einstein pointed out the infinite possibilities of wormholes, generations of humans had placed infinite reverie and hope on this wonderful space-time travel method.
In the near future, due to the deterioration of the environment, the depletion of resources, and the explosion of population, the earth would be occupied by garbage, becoming more and more unsuitable for human survival.
Humans were so eager to escape from Earth. With the support of the nearly infinite power of faith from tens of billions of humans, this worm that should not have existed turned from a pure fantasy into an elf between heaven and earth.
It could open up a space-time Tunnel that led to a higher dimension, bringing one across time and space, past and future!
Seven days in the cave was equivalent to a thousand years in the real world.
[Unlocked true name ]-Einstein's space worm!
——————
PS: you should have more or less guessed it, right? After all, Einstein's name was frequently mentioned in the recent chapters, so don't think of him as a transmigrator or something. The people in this book were all ordinary people, and there were no people with superpowers. Although this was indeed a transmigration, comparing a transmigrator to her was an insult to this elf.
