Mystery Makes Me Strong - #1997 - Chapter 1997: Ladder to the sky
Remember [New] for a second,! Heavenly Court, Lingxiao Palace.
Sun Wukong stood on the main hall, scratching his head at the Jade Emperor.
“Wukong, look, this is what you mean by mortals. Mortals raise immortals, and immortals are mortals. Now it’s like this? Can you blame us this time? Can you blame us for anything? We have already gave them everything they could.”
Sun Wukong was speechless.
This time he had no reason to scold God.
He wanted to curse.
What a bunch of scumbags, they have everything and still don’t live well, and they feel bored every day.
He can be reincarnated indefinitely without worrying about eating and drinking. Thinking about how to end this boring life all day makes him incomprehensible.
“Great Heavenly Venerate, I have long known that mortals have endless desires and desires, and I have long known that they will raise their bowls to eat and put down their bowls to curse their mothers. I’ll go down and find them myself.”
Sun Wukong said, and went directly to the lower realm.
After the Nether, he found a fat man.
Sun Wukong asked, “Big fat man, are you happy now?”
“I’m not happy.”
Sun Wukong wondered: “Why? You eat and drink, and you live forever, so you can’t be happy.”
“It’s all too fake. Without real death, there is no real life.” The big fat man touched his belly and looked at the chicken leg stand next to him.
Sun Wukong knocked Fatty out of the clouds with one stick, and he directly became part of the cloud, a blood-red sunset.
Four days later, the big fat man was resurrected from the tree.
Sun Wukong found him again: “Are you still bored now?”
“It’s not boring anymore!” The big fat man looked at Sun Wukong viciously, “I have a new goal, I must defeat you, and I have the same strength as you!”
After speaking, the big fat man went to the gods who served him.
“Do you want to have the same power as him?” The **** wondered, just like hearing that an ordinary person was going to pick the moon.
“Yes, he is a human being, so am I. I have infinite life, why can’t I do it?” The big fat man said seriously.
“Well, you just need to finish one question first. This is a chessboard, a Go board. Put a grain of rice in the first square, and then put twice as much in each square until you finish it. After solving this problem, you will have more mana than Sun Wukong.” Of course the gods knew Sun Wukong.
“This is easy.” The fat man happily took the chessboard.
The chessboard is automatically retractable, and the size of the rice grains can be increased.
Soon, when it was placed on the 20th square, the big fat man realized that it was impossible.
“I can live for countless years, but I can’t do it in this life. I will continue to let it go in the next life!” He still encouraged himself.
It’s just that he forgot that some things can’t be done no matter how long they live.
Because the total amount of matter in the universe is limited, the total amount of matter in the Three Realms is also limited.
It’s like you can’t solve an unsolved problem, no matter how long you live.
Sun Wukong walked up to the big fat man: “If you have the same power as me, will you be happy?”
“Of course, at that time, I will hit whomever I want, and I will bully whoever I want. Now I’ve had enough of a life where everyone is equal.” The fat man said fiercely.
“Understood, people like you shouldn’t live infinitely.” Sun Wukong said, stretched out his hand and turned the big fat man into a stone.
“Very good, you will stay here forever, and you will know how happy life was before.”
In fact, after only ten minutes, the big fat man started shouting:
“Let me out, I already feel that my life was very happy before.”
“I want to eat, I’m hungry!”
But how can a stone make a sound?
He made a sound that only he could hear.
No one thought the world would develop in this direction, even though the world is already so good, there are still many people who say they are unhappy.
Sun Wukong still couldn’t believe it.
He found a family again.
There are only two brothers in this family.
The two said at the same time: “I’m not happy now because I don’t have a son.”
“Why do you want a son?”
“How good it is to live alone.” Sun Wukong said speechlessly, “Old Sun has lived alone for five hundred years without saying anything.”
“I want to raise another child again and experience the joy of raising a child.”
“Then you can go to the tree and look for it.”
“All adults are looking for on the tree, they are all reincarnations with memories, who is older and who is more mature, I don’t know yet.” The two brothers were dissatisfied.
Sun Wukong completely understood.
What Lu Dongbin said before was right.
People can only let themselves manage themselves. The more you manage, the more mistakes you will make.
And they will scold you.
But you don’t care, let them toss, if something happens, he will scold God again.
At every turn, scolding the dark and the dark…
Sun Wukong thought, this seems to be his own curse.
In fact, God did not offend him, and gave him a great opportunity.
God just doesn’t care what you do.
What do you want you to do what you want you to do, really.
Sun Wukong sighed, he rarely sighed.
But this time, he sighed.
He directly returned to Ling Xiao.
“Wukong, tell us, what have you seen?” the Queen Mother asked curiously.
Sun Wukong said with a tired face: “I found that no matter what I do, these people will not be satisfied.”
“This is the endless **** of the human heart, and it cannot be satisfied by the holy immortals and Buddhas.” Taishang Laojun smiled, “So I never think about it, I always give these mortals the right to choose, and I will never ask for them. What are people doing?”
“Humanity is insatiable, and even if they have everything, they still feel bad.”
“It’s like a child who owns a lot of toys, but when he sees a toy again, if you don’t buy it for him, he will still make a fuss. He won’t just because he already has 10,000 toys. Stop buying the 10,000th toy, that’s human nature.”
“So the rulers must do nothing, and leave the choice to the people themselves, and they themselves will accept whether it is good or bad.”
“Damn mortals, I want to kill them all.” Sun Wukong heard this, and suddenly said angrily, “There is no one, so there is no desire.”
The Jade Emperor smiled again: “You monkey, you are throwing up again, and there are many people who know that they are satisfied.”
The monkey scratched his ears and scratched his cheeks: “Old Jade Emperor, I also know those people you said, but how can I satisfy everyone?”
“If you’re never going to give people a good life, you’ve got to make them comfortable for a while, uncomfortable for a while, always in the contrast between life before and after, you always put them on a great level, they It will definitely not be comfortable.” Sun Wukong suddenly realized.
But he still didn’t know what to do now, so he asked: “Those five Heavenly Venerates, what should we do now? How can we achieve that people’s hearts are one and everyone can live a good life?”
Wen Rensheng smiled and said, “Give them a neighbor. People’s happiness comes from neighbors.”
Hearing this, Sun Wukong suddenly understood completely.
He stretched out his golden cudgel and pierced it all the way for thirty-three days until another world.
…
at the same time.
A dry, hot place where plants die and animals turn to bones.
Everywhere in arid rivers, lakes, and inlets, there are miserable bones of animals everywhere.
People gathered on the coast, relying on the sun, relying on the only remaining seawater, and using sunlight to make water.
This is a very clever trick.
Build a large house with shade, deep underground. On the ground is a row of bamboo pipes connected to a seawater pool.
The sea water is evaporated, and the evaporated water vapor enters the bamboo tube, which is then cooled in the large room and turns into water droplets.
Not very efficient, but at least it keeps people alive.
However, this water can be used to live people, but it is impossible to grow ordinary wheat and corn, let alone rice.
Those crops are consuming too much water.
Fortunately, some smart people have learned to grow cacti, camel thorns, and use bamboo pipes to reach the roots.
Relying on cacti and camel thorns, they lived hard by the sea and kept some livestock.
As for people who do not rely on the sea, they have long since turned into bones like animals.
They are fortunate that the great sea, the cradle of life, has not dried up and can still help resist the drought that has lasted for many years.
They only hope to survive until the day when the rain falls.
“God, please give us mercy, give us a new place to live, let the rain come.” People pray every day.
Hope finally came.
It’s a golden stick, falling from the sky.
Then came cooler weather.
The sun disappeared and the dark clouds appeared.
Then countless fish and rain fell.
The crowd went crazy with joy, not only came the water, but also the fish to eat.
Fishing in saltwater is not easy.
After people rejoiced, they soon began to pay attention to the stick that came down from the sky.
“what is that?”
“Is it Tongtianzhu?”
“The end of the stick must be heaven.” These people said excitedly.
There are people who can’t wait to climb up, they think they’ll get to heaven.
Perhaps this is the only way out from God.
“We must get out of here before the heavy rain disappears. The stick given by God will only last for a while.”
Everyone nodded.
It’s like saving people, the people on the shore stretch out a stick, but no one keeps sticking out the stick.
If you don’t catch him late, let him wait for you for a day, is it possible?
Many people began to try climbing, climbing up the column.
The first person only climbed to 10 meters, was completely weak, was forced to fall, he fell to the ground and died.
The second man climbed up again and moved on.
Finally he climbed to 20 meters, which is high, but still fell.
The third person continued to climb up again.
The third person climbed up and down. He was very powerful. He climbed to a place of 60 meters with his bare hands.
This is put on earth and can break the world record.
Of course, this is because the stick is thick and wide, and there are various ravines on it, which can be dropped.
In fact, it is just the pattern of Sun Wukong’s golden hoop stick.
The third person did not continue to climb.
He said: “We can’t climb down blindly. We have to prepare enough things. This pillar is at least thousands of miles high.”
How many miles?
Everyone was shocked, and it was very tiring to walk thousands of miles on the ground.
Not to mention climbing thousands of miles to the heights.
“Do we need to bring enough cacti and water?”
“But how should I bring it?”
“We can use hot air balloons.” A wise man said, “I have made hot air balloons, which are wrapped in cloth and can be raised by burning fire below.”
In fact, it is an oversized Kongming lantern, which was made by the ancients.
However, it has not been implemented further.
The hot air balloon can continue to float upward, but when the hot air balloon floats to a certain height.
It won’t float anymore.
Of course these people don’t know.
They made an unprecedented big hot air balloon.
The big problem they found, however, wasn’t that the balloons weren’t flying high enough.
To keep the balloons from flying around, a rope is necessary. But the rope is too long and the hot air balloon can’t fly.
But if the rope is too short, how can the hot air balloon fly to the pole?
“We can tie the rope to the stick.”
“The stick is too big, at least a few miles wide, and the rope is still too long.”
People have headaches.
At this time someone said: “We can make a ladder to the sky, along this pillar we can keep tying the rope in a circle and hanging the grain on the rope.”
“Tie up in a circle and move forward in a circle.”
Everyone is very happy, but this is destined to consume a lot of food and water.
They didn’t have much food.
But in order to hope, they squeezed out the most food, and collected hemp rope to make hemp rope.
Every year, I start to do this Tongtian Rope Project.
This project has been done for 10,000 years!
That’s almost the equivalent of traveling half a mile in a year.
The Tongtian Rope was finally built, and they could climb up.
After continuously passing water and food through the rope, someone finally came to the top of the golden hoop.
He entered the Three Realms.
He took his first breath and immediately died violently.
There is spiritual energy in the three realms.
Ordinary people absorb spiritual energy, just like a person who suddenly eats very greasy food after being hungry for a long time, they can’t bear it at all.
Nine out of ten will get sick.
But the crowd followed suit.
Another person came here.
The first person only held on for one breath, the second person lasted for one minute, and the third person lasted for five minutes.
Starting with the third person, each of them wrote down how they felt.
Use the diary to tell later people that there is an extremely rich and beautiful world in front of them.
When the thousandth person came to the Three Realms, he found that he had finally adapted to this world.
He can survive in this world.
What a wonderful world.
He stayed for nine years and saw many places.
He went back and told his clansmen: “There is everything in that world, just sprinkle a handful of seeds, and you can grow hundreds of catties of grain that year. The weather is good and the weather is beautiful.”
“I also saw a giant tree from which their people fell.”
“When they die, they go back to the tree, and then the tree bears fruit, and they grow out of the fruit again, and they don’t really die, which is so blissful.”
“But they don’t know how to cherish it. It’s too boring to say anything all day long. There’s no challenge or fun in life.”
When the tribe heard what he said, they were all shocked.
“Don’t these guys know how difficult it is to survive? They still want challenges and fun, I really can’t understand these people.”
