Strive for Science

"Then that..."

"That's someone flying a kite." The guard pointed to a path on the right, "Everyone, please go this way."

"There are many trees here, and the weather is cold, so it's too uncomfortable to fly a kite." Ding Yang realized that the human-like shadow just now may indeed be a kite floating in the sky.

"Rich people." The guard shrugged and smiled at Ding Yang, "The hobbies are different from us ordinary people, that's normal."

"It makes sense." Ding Yang took it for granted. The happiness of rich people was beyond his imagination.

Passing through a path full of fallen flowers, the guard stopped: "The front is where Mr. Shen lives."

Ding Yang, Chen Panpan, and Xu Ze all looked up, and saw a beautiful house surrounded by beautiful flowers, and outside the flowers was a lush forest.In a daze, they almost thought they were lost travelers, and they found the fairy trail in the dense forest.

"Go in, three, there are people waiting for you at the door."

As soon as the guard's words fell, they saw the door of this beautiful house slowly opened, and two men with similar clothes walked out: "The three are friends of Mr. Shen?"

Apart from nodding, the three of them didn't know what to say for a while.

"Please come in."

The three of them hadn't planned to visit Shen Chang'an at first, but in the afternoon they accidentally learned from Aunt Juan that Chang'an had no relatives and had been living alone all these years.Normally, Chang An never mentioned family matters in front of them, and his personality was kind. It was hard for people to think that such a boy who always put a smile on his face would have such a family background.

After thinking about it for a long time, after the three of them got off work, they took large and small bags of visiting gifts and asked for Shen Chang'an's address, so they could feel at ease after they came to see how his physical condition was.

"Dao Nian, why did you ask me to promise my colleagues to come and see me?" After drinking a bowl of Uncle Zhao's soup, Shen Changan felt that he had recovered, but Dao Nian felt that he still needed to be cared for, so he was not even allowed out of the gate. .

"Your bodies are too fragile, and being unhappy will also make your health bad..." In Dao Nian's view, human beings are a very contradictory group. Sometimes a rain or a few steps can kill them, whether they are happy or not Accidents happen.But sometimes their vitality is terribly tenacious. He has seen mothers who were still protecting the children in their wombs when they were dying, and fathers who let their children crawl out of the ruins while carrying stones several times heavier than their bodies. Some parents kill their children to eat meat, and use their children as tools for their own enjoyment.

But overall, he doesn't like this race too much.This race is physically weak, but mentally strong, and has a terrible reproductive instinct. For the reproduction of offspring, for the development of the group, and for their own abilities, they can develop some methods to the extreme.

"You'll be happier when they come." Dao Nian suddenly turned his head and glanced outside the door, "Your friends are here, go down and greet them."

He pulled the blanket covering his knees, closed his eyes and leaned against the back of the chair, "I won't go down."

Shen Changan got up and put the fruit plate on the table within Dao Nian's reach, and then walked out the door lightly.

"Mr. Shen." Standing outside the corridor, Liu Mao saw Shen Changan coming out, and said with a smile, "Your friend is here."

"Thank you Brother Liu, I'll go down right away." Shen Changan closed the door for Daonian, and quickly went down the stairs.Liu Mao looked at Shen Changan's brisk steps, pushed the door open and entered the room.

"Sir, Mr. Shen looks a little happier."

The thick curtains blocked the light from the window, and the room was extremely quiet. Just when Liu Mao thought that the husband would not speak, Dao Nian slowly opened his eyes: "Children, I like the excitement of companions."

The corners of Liu Mao's lips twitched, but he didn't know what to say.

"Niu, how many years have you been by my side?"

"2000."

"2000..." Dao Nian blinked lightly, a curtain was rolled up, light rushed into the room, and the room became much brighter in an instant.

"At that time, the world seemed to be in chaos?"

"Yes, there was a human being who escaped the rules of the passage of time and took charge of the power of the human world, but lost it soon."

Dao Nian masters the 49 laws, which also govern the passage of time.Time is something that always moves forward and never goes backwards.But in time and space, there are occasional beings that inadvertently cross the gap of time, falling into the past from the distant future, or falling into the unknown future from the distant past.

He never cared about these people who deviated from the law, because these lives that escaped the law were all accidents brought about by that glimmer of life.

It is a pity that the human being who held the momentary power 2000 years ago failed to change the original trajectory of the great era. Droughts, locust plagues, and river bursts, all his efforts were no different from mantis' arms under the rules.

After the failure of this human being, the emperor who held the power of the world was jokingly called "the chosen son" by some people in later generations. In fact, this statement is not wrong, this person is indeed a human emperor selected by rules.

2000 years ago was the last time he noticed the life trajectory of escape. Since then, human beings have become stronger and stronger. Whether it is wars, natural disasters, or plagues, they are only the cornerstones of exercising their abilities.

Humans are becoming more and more arrogant. Now, they feel that they are the masters of the world and the top of the food chain.

Dao Nian has no objection to their thinking, after all, all the dragons, phoenixes, monsters and dinosaurs thought so.However, in recent years, he has discovered that something is wrong, perhaps because the law has been supported for too long, and human beings have obtained benefits without restraint, the law is faintly showing signs of separation and collapse

When the law collapses, not only will he disappear, but all creatures in the world will be in disaster.

Perhaps these human beings created by Dao also had some kind of premonition, so in recent decades there have always been legends about the end of the world, and there are also some literary works of survival in the last days.

After the apocalypse, maybe the world will gain new vitality, but that has nothing to do with him.

When Shen Changan went downstairs, he saw Ding Yang and the others sitting on the sofa cautiously. There were all kinds of fruits in front of them, and the table was full.

"Chang'an." Ding Yang saw that Shen Chang'an came down, and saw that he was a little pale, but he seemed to be in good spirits, "Are you all right now?"

"It's okay, everyone is taking good care of me." Shen Changan sat down beside Ding Yang, and greeted everyone to eat fruit.

"It's good that you're fine." Seeing that Shen Chang'an's friend didn't come down, Ding Yang asked about his physical condition, and then asked to go home.

"Let's go after dinner." Shen Chang'an said, "Uncle Zhao's craftsmanship is very good, I guarantee you will want to eat it after eating."

"It's fine if you know you're alive and kicking. My mom is waiting for me at home after cooking." Ding Yang felt that living here would cause his blood pressure to rise, and he would have negative emotions such as "hating the rich" and "jealousy" that he shouldn't have, so he should leave early. good for health.

"Yes, my dad has already prepared a meal for me to eat when I go back." Chen Panpan wiped her hands and mouth. She accidentally ate a bowl of washed grapes just now.

"Me, my cooking aunt has also prepared the meal for me to go back to eat." Xu Ze pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, "By the way, today I received a notice from the higher up that various departments will hold a sports meeting in half a month. There are only four of us young people in the department, do you want to contribute a few places?"

Shen Changan: "..."

"Basketball and football are out of our place. You can consider long jump, high jump, running and throwing discus." Xu Ze looked at Shen Changan as if he was looking at a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, "The hope of our department lies in On you."

Shen Chang'an instantly leaned back on the sofa: "No, no, I'm still a weak and helpless patient."

"After half a month, your illness will be cured." Xu Ze asked, "Can you bear other departments laughing at us as soft-legged shrimps and nursing homes?"

"Yes." Shen Changan embraced the sofa and pillow, "What kind of sports meeting, it must be because I have a cold and I have not recovered, I heard it wrong."

"I understand." Xu Ze patted Shen Changan's shoulder with a smile, "You should rest well, and I will tell Director Du that you have a strong desire to participate."

"I'm not, I'm not."

"You have it, so there's no need to explain." Xu Ze stood up, and gently pulled Shen Changan's hand from his sleeve, "Our entire department is waiting for your healthy return."

"Ahhhhhhhh, you devils are not here to visit the sick at all, but to push me into the fire pit." Shen Changan hammered the sofa, "Is there any colleague who loves you?"

"I'll have you registered for the sports events." Chen Panpan said with a smile, "It's okay, Chang'an. The important thing is to participate. I even signed up for the women's [-]-meter race."

"Then your competitor is..."

"It's nothing, it's just a female teacher from the Physical Education College and a female traffic policeman from the traffic police department." Chen Panpan smiled with a Buddhist face on her face, "Be strong, if you apply for more projects, you will lose more times, don't be afraid of embarrassment. "

Shen Changan: "..."

"It's settled like this. You have a good rest at home tomorrow and don't come to work." Ding Yang pushed Shen Changan back to the sofa and sat down, "Take a good rest and see you on Monday."

"You bastards who are not loved by colleagues, I am very disappointed in you." Shen Changan laughed and cursed and sent them out, and when they reached the gate, he even kicked Ding Yang.

Dao Nian sat behind the window, watching Shen Chang An fighting with those colleagues, drew the curtains and looked away, turned to Liu Mao and said, "Have dinner."

Liu Mao said: "Sir, you should order the search for vitality. If you destroy it, maybe there will be a turn for the better."

"And then?" Dao Nian asked back, "Even if we avoid the catastrophe this time, there will be a next time. Dao let that vitality escape in order to restrain me. When he is about to dissipate, it has already been calculated. If If you can find this vitality so easily, why bother with Dao?"

"Then you..."

"Dao Nian." Shen Chang'an's footsteps came from outside, he knocked on the door, opened the door and poked his head in: "Dinner has your favorite fish, which is steamed."

Seeing that Liu Mao's face was a bit ugly, he thought they were talking about work, so he said, "Talk slowly, I'll wait for you downstairs."

Suddenly he slipped and fell to the ground, and the closed door caught his mind.

"Old Zhao, bring some medicine up, Mr. Shen's brain is trapped by the door."

Shen Chang'an: No, I'm in a good head, so I wasn't caught by the door.

"Is it okay?" A hand was stretched out in front of him, Daonian sat on the wheelchair and bent over to look at him.

"It's okay." Shen Changan held Dao Nian's hand in Xuxu, not daring to use any real force, he was afraid that he would drag Dao Nian out of the wheelchair, "Dao Nian, is the door of your house made of solid wood? It hurts."

"It's a dangerous move to stick your head into the crack of the door." Dao Nian rubbed the bag on his head, "It's okay, just sleep for a night and you'll be fine."

"I may be retrograde recently." Shen Changan was so painful that tears almost came out, "Otherwise, why would I always encounter bad things."

"Mercury retrograde?"

"It just means bad luck."

"It's okay." Dao Nian touched the top of his head, "I lend you my luck, it will be fine."

"Thank you." Shen Changan knew that Dao Nian was trying to joke with him, although it wasn't too funny, but he stood up cooperatively and pushed Dao Nian downstairs.

When sleeping at night, Shen Changan had a strange dream. In the dream, he was a small star, and not far from him, there was a big and bright star.

The big star has dazzling brilliance, dazzling and beautiful.Suddenly, the big star approached him, and he hid back in fright, but the big star didn't hurt him, but gave him some light.

He immediately turned from dusty to shiny, and then the big stars carried him to many magical places, the seabed, the sky, and the vast universe.

In the darkness, Shen Changan lying on the bed unconsciously showed a happy smile.

The night breeze danced lightly, allowing this dream to continue.

In the name of recovering from illness, he stayed at Dao Nian's house for a few days. When Shen Changan went to work, he got the sports list that Xu Ze gave him.

Very well, they even reported him five or six projects.Perhaps because of some guilty conscience, after getting the project list, Chen Panpan gave him two boxes of old yogurt, Ding Yang gave him two bottles of homemade chili sauce, and Xu Ze gave him a box of chocolates.

It is euphemistically called "Colleague Friendship Refueling Package".

"You don't need the word friendship." Shen Changan ate the old yogurt Chen Panpan gave him, "By the way, why aren't Aunt Juan and Director Du here?"

"For this sports meeting, they were called to a meeting." Chen Panpan replied, "By the way, I just received a call from another department, saying that the biological company you went to last time had a Taoist priest and the company The staff quarreled, it seemed that the Taoist insisted that there was a ghost in that company, and the security guards would not let them in, do you want to go and have a look?"

"Isn't that matter already settled?" Ding Yang was a little puzzled, "I still have a lot of forms that I haven't done today, so I don't have time to rush over."

"Let me go." Shen Changan stuffed the sports schedule into the drawer, picked up the car keys and said, "Anyway, I have less work today."

"Look at Chang'an, and then at you." Chen Panpan looked at Shen Chang'an's leaving back, and said to Ding Yang, "Are you ashamed of such work enthusiasm and attitude?"

"When I first went to work, I was so active." Ding Yang shook his head, "It's a pity that those who are close to ink are dark."

"roll!"

A folder smashed him to the ground.

Hearing Chen Panpan say that some Taoists insisted that there were ghosts in the Changfeng branch, Shen Changan felt something was wrong.Hurrying to the company, I saw two policemen pulling a man in Taoist robes to criticize and educate. The person being educated was expressionless, looking at the policeman's eyes, as if looking at two ignorant mortals.

Thanks to the good temper of these two policemen, when they meet those young guys who explode at the first point, they may beat them on the spot.

"Sorry to bother you." Shen Chang'an walked over cheekily, "I'm a staff member of the civil service department. I heard that some people here promote feudal superstition, so I came to have a look."

The two policemen were not too young, and when they saw a well-behaved young man like Shen Changan, they had a friendly attitude, and they explained the ins and outs of the incident.

It turned out that the Taoist said that there were ghosts in this company, and came to ask for free ghost hunting, but the people in the company refused to let him go. However, the Taoist was very persistent and came to the door every day, which caused a lot of discussion among the surrounding residents. The company's management staff really had no choice. Had to choose to call the police.

"We thought it was just a fake Taoist priest who came out to swindle money, but we didn't expect him to have a formal Taoist certificate issued by the association." The police were a little embarrassed. If the Taoist priest was taken back by force, they were afraid that the association would say that they did not respect the belief, but they did not. Catch it, this Taoist doesn't listen to people's persuasion, no matter what they explain, he says there are ghosts in it.

"If you continue to make trouble like this, we can only take you to the police station."

"Heh." The yellow-robed Taoist sneered, "You don't know anything. If you take me back to the police station, you will be responsible for what happens."

"I'm fine, what can happen." President Wang couldn't bear it anymore and walked out of the guard room. Seeing that Shen Changan had also come over, he smiled politely at him, turned his head and continued to say to the yellow-robed Taoist priest, "Don't you?" It's alarmist, since Mr. Shen helped us find out the system problem, our company's production line has returned to normal. If you say that our company has ghosts, why is everything in our company back to normal?"

"That's because he no longer intends to use such small tricks to deal with you." The yellow-robed Taoist pinched his fingers and calculated, "If we make a mistake, that ghost died 47 days ago. This ghost has an extraordinary fate. If it is not saved or subdued in the next 49 [-] days, it will turn into a fierce ghost and harm countless people."

Shen Changan glanced at him, but didn't speak.

"What is July 49th? I still have September 81st." Since Shen Changan helped him find out the real problem, Mr. Wang felt that all ghosts and gods were nonsense, and he looked helplessly at the two policemen: " Two police comrades, look at him going on like this, it will not be good for our company's reputation, or..."

The two policemen sighed twice, and had no choice but to decide to bring the Taoist priest into the police car, so as not to make things more and more absurd, causing people to watch and spread bad rumors.

"Please wait." A car stopped at the entrance of the company, and an old man in a blue mandarin jacket got out of the car. This old man had a ruddy complexion and snow-white hair, making it hard to tell his real age.

"Master." The yellow-robed Taoist priest put away the arrogance when he saw the old man, and lowered his head reluctantly.

"Don't call me master, I have already expelled you from the sect." The old man walked up to the two policemen, bowed his head and apologized, "Trouble the two policemen, our association firmly opposes the promotion of feudal superstition, he violated the Taoist manual According to regulations, after this incident, his Taoist qualifications will be revoked in accordance with the regulations."

"Master!" The yellow-robed Taoist priest looked at the old man in shock, with grievances, anger and unwillingness in his eyes, "Why do you always treat me like this? Could it be that in your eyes, I am not as good as those few mediocre people?" Brothers and sisters?"

"Before you do things, you should talk about being a human being. No matter how talented you are, if you have a bad heart, then everything will be in vain." The old man lowered his eyelids and said in a calm tone, "When you came out of the mountain after learning, you chased all ghosts and demons. I thought you were just young. You are ignorant, I never thought that after so many years, you are still like this. Whether you are a human or a ghost, you must first ask about good and evil before acting, you are so extreme, you will only make mistakes again and again."

"Master!"

"You and I don't have the fate of master and apprentice. In the future... don't call me master again."

The two policemen were a little dumbfounded. They didn't expect that they could witness the live version of "Expelled from the Master", which is a famous scene in countless martial arts novels.

Generally, if the protagonist is expelled from the division, it means that he is about to develop.If it was a supporting actor who was expelled from the school, it meant that he was going to go crazy and go crazy.

The two policemen looked at each other, silently clenched their batons around their waists.

It's their job to nip anything bad in the bud.

"Okay, okay, since you look down on me, I won't call you master anymore." The yellow-robed Taoist directly threw the Taoist certificate on the ground, "Who cares?"

"Comrade, littering is not allowed." A policeman whispered a warm reminder.

The yellow-robed Taoist priest was so angry that after this reminder, he was suddenly silent for two seconds. He turned his head and sneered at the old man: "One generation in the sect is not as good as one generation. Since you have expelled me, who is the most talented, from the sect, I will Let's see, can those useless apprentices of yours support the sect?!"

"I don't need you, an outsider, to worry about the matters of the contemptuous sect." The old man's tone remained flat, "What's more, your aptitude is not one in a million. Just find a passerby, and you may be better than you." After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand Pointing to Shen Changan, "For example him."

Shen Changan:? ? ?

Wait, you master and apprentice turned against each other, what does it have to do with me, an innocent staff member?

"What kind of thing is he?" The yellow-robed Taoist didn't even bother to look at Shen Chang'an, and was very angry at the old man comparing a passer-by with himself, "Will he call the wind and rain and cast beans into soldiers, or will he invite God?"

"Even if he doesn't know anything, just learning casually is better than you." The old man is quite old, and he has a strong ability to irritate people. ?”

"You will?" the yellow-robed Taoist retorted.

"I don't know how, so I keep a low profile." The old man raised his eyelids, "Since you don't know what, why are you wandering around outside, lest people don't know that you can't do this?"

"You don't need to provoke me with these words." The yellow-robed Taoist man calmed down after getting angry, "Who in the whole metaphysics world can ask the gods? Are you laughing at me or other people when you talk about it?"

"They don't like to show off, so why am I laughing at them?" The old man raised his eyebrows, "Besides, no one else was arrested for violating the rules and promoting feudal superstition in public."

Shen Changan: "..."

This pair of masters and apprentices who turned against each other were really merciless when they stabbed each other.

"Even so, you don't need to compare me with this kind of stuff." The yellow-robed Taoist gave Shen Chang'an a disdainful look, "But it's true, you can even treat those useless apprentices as treasures, and you think this kind of passer-by has good aptitude Not surprising."

Shen Changan: "..."

This is too much, at least he can ask a god.

The author has something to say: Turning heads into enemies, master and apprentice: There is no friendship between master and apprentice in the field of sword fighting!
