Only in the process of mountain formation—orogeny—elders are encased in mountains. This premise sounds incredible, because the mountains were formed hundreds of millions of years ago——how many years ago did the mountains in the southeastern part of the Asian continent form? However, it is certain. So could it be that the elder has existed for hundreds of millions of years in the belly of the mountain? What creature—the elder is undoubtedly a creature—could live for such a long time? It is unimaginable. However, it is the only possibility. Under this premise, what is the external situation that the elder most wants to know?

Bai Su and I looked at Hong Ling, and I asked, "What's his first question?" Hong Ling took a breath, and said: "He wants me to describe the current appearance of the earth in my mind, and tell him where it is now." I was stunned for a moment—this kind of question is not unexpected, because under that premise, the elders existed hundreds of millions of years ago, before the mountains were formed.The "outside situation" at that time was of course different from what it is now.Therefore, the elders must first know what the outside situation is like: after hundreds of millions of years, what the earth has become.

It is not difficult to describe the current appearance of the earth in the mind, and anyone with a little knowledge of geography can do it--but the past leaders of the head-bending technique, including Lansi, cannot do it. They do not have the knowledge of world geography The most basic common sense.From this, it can be imagined that the elder could only communicate with them but was eager to know the outside situation. What he could get was pitifully small, and he should be extremely distressed. The arrival of Hong Ling was a great blessing to the elder. Hong Ling easily imagined the distribution of the seven continents and five oceans in her mind, and described each terrain in detail.

Hong Ling has been indoctrinated by her grandmother in all kinds of knowledge, and its richness, on top of a complete encyclopedia, can meet the most detailed requirements of the elders. The elder indeed asked for "more details" and "more details" on this issue. The level of detail asked about some small islands that could only be found on a very special map. Just the question of "the appearance of the earth" has already spent a day. Hong Ling had been away for five months. During this time, she never left the cave, and she kept explaining the "outside situation" to the elders—from the natural environment to the history of human evolution, from the history of human existence to the elders. Since history, when it comes to the formation of countries and the history of various countries, from how human beings have gradually progressed from primitive life to the development of science now...transfer everything she knows to the elders through her thoughts.

If the elder wants to know the situation outside, he really found the right person—there is no other person in the world who can provide him with so much information. The elder is greedy to the extreme, especially when it comes to some issues in the history of humanities, he repeatedly asked: "Why did this happen?", "Why do these people do this?" Hong Ling didn't know how to answer the elder's questions at the beginning, but later she answered all of them: "Because of ignorance", "Because of stupidity", "Because of ugly and despicable nature"...

From these answers, one can imagine what kind of questions the elder asked about human history——Hong Ling's answer is very good, and most of the things that happened in human history can indeed be answered with such answers.To give an example: Why do people always think that they can conquer the world in history? Hong Ling's answer can be summed up. At this time, Lan Si only knew that Hong Ling and the elder were in constant communication, and occasionally she could receive messages from both parties, but she didn't know why. Lansi has entered and exited the treasure land many times, and is responsible for the supplies Hong Ling needs in life.

And Hong Ling didn't rest at all—she didn't even think about resting.The body needs rest only when it is tired from activities, and it does not need rest if mental activities do not cause fatigue. Hong Ling was communicating with the elders, her body didn't move much, so there was no need to rest. All kinds of questions from the elders came overwhelmingly. Among the many, many questions Hong Ling answered, "I don't know". By the time the elder's question came to an end, it was already five months later. Hong Ling felt that although she had done her best, she was still far from the satisfaction of the elders.

After coming to an end, the elder came to a conclusion: "According to the external situation, it is not easy to help me switch out, and it requires great effort." Hong Ling agreed with the elder's opinion, but Lan Si reacted fiercely: "No matter how difficult it is, I will definitely do it!" After knowing the situation outside to a certain extent, the elder seemed to be more sensible than Lansi who had been living outside. He asked Lansi: "How are you going to proceed?" This question made it difficult for Lansi to answer for a while.Because Lansi didn't know how to proceed!

She just said impassionedly that it can be done, but it is just enthusiasm.Enthusiasm was useful, however, at least to give her confidence. She thought for a while and said, "I have money, a lot of money; I have friends, a lot of friends. I can do it." When Lansi expressed it like this, the elder would definitely be able to accept Lansi's signal that she could succeed without a doubt, so at that moment, the human form that Hong Ling saw clearly changed with extreme excitement──it looked like It seems to suddenly expand three or four times, then shrink, and then expand again, and so on several times.

Since Hong Ling was able to see the human form, although the human form has changed a lot, it has never expressed extreme excitement so clearly. Hong Ling's emotions were also affected by the elder and Lan Si, and she also said: "It will definitely work, it will work!" The elder’s response to them was: “Great! I never imagined that the situation outside would become like this! Really unexpected! Absolutely unexpected! No one can imagine it!” He repeatedly expressed that he couldn't think of the "outside situation", and then he drew conclusions on what he knew about the outside situation, expressing his feelings about the outside situation: "It's so interesting! It's so rich! It's so colorful! "

Then he expressed his wish to Hong Ling and Lan Si: "I must switch out and become the elder of this new world!" This sentence did not surprise Lansi at all, because the elder had been the god in her heart for a long time. Anyone who really has a god in their heart will hope that the god in their heart will appear in front of them, so Lan Si takes it for granted when she hears such words. After Hong Ling heard this, she was taken aback. For a moment, she couldn't imagine what it would be like when the elders of the Lower Head Master Sect became the elders of the world. And when Bai Su and I heard Hong Ling's narration up to this point, we both felt that things were getting weirder and weirder. That elder actually has the "ambition" to become a world elder! It is also hard for me to imagine what it would be like to have an elder in the world. And why did the elders call the world "the new world"? Although I only added one word, I feel that there is a lot of content in it, and it is worth thinking about it! Bai Su held down my hand, not letting me interrupt Hong Ling's narration.I had to keep many problems in my mind for the time being. Although Hong Ling felt that the elder's statement was a bit abrupt at the time, she didn't think as much as I did. Moreover, the elder's unusually excited mood had a strong contagious effect, making Hong Ling feel that it would be a great good thing if the elder could be turned on and off. At this time, Lansi couldn't wait to leave, so she went to do it immediately.Hong Ling thought that even if everything went well, it would take at least three years to carry out such a huge project! Hong Ling just thought of this, and the elder responded: "The sooner the better! Originally, I didn't know the situation outside. Although I was eager to switch, time didn't mean much to me. Now I can't wait any longer! " This made Hong Ling even more surprised——Although Hong Ling is not very sensible, she actually has a low level of understanding of the outside situation and some aspects, but at least she is not as blindly optimistic as Lan Si, knowing that even with sufficient Funding, if we really want to realize it, there are still many unexpected difficulties. If the elder is so impatient that "we can't wait any longer", the situation will be very bad—as for how bad it will be, Hong Ling can't say. Long it knew Hong Ling's feelings immediately, and he responded to Hong Ling like this: "If you have difficulties and can't help me switch it, I have to switch it on my own!" The elder made such a statement, which was beyond Hong Ling and Lan Si's expectations! They all thought at the same time: Since they can switch it out by themselves, why bother to make a passage outside?And why doesn't it switch on and off by itself? They immediately had such a question, and their thoughts were the same.But then the two of them had different ideas. Lansi immediately thought that no matter what, the elder must have his reasons. She didn't understand it because she didn't understand the conditions enough. For Lansi, this kind of thinking came naturally to her, and there was no force at all—this is the attitude of man towards God. But Hong Ling didn't have this kind of admiration, she felt very puzzled and wanted to know what happened.But she didn't get any response from the elders. At this point in Hong Ling's narration, from our point of view, it is obvious that she wants to ask for our opinion on this matter. For a while, I couldn't think of a reason why the elder didn't switch on and off by himself. If he was not eager to switch it because he didn't know that the outside world was so interesting, then he knew it now and couldn't wait to figure it out, so there was no reason not to switch it on by himself immediately. Bai Su also had a knot between his brows, apparently also without conclusion. I just felt unworthy for Hong Ling, and felt that my daughter had suffered a disadvantage. I said, "The communication between you and the elder is very unfair—he can fully understand your thoughts, but you can only accept his handouts." Signal to you!" Hong Ling nodded: "In that cave, I never thought that after I left the cave, I also felt... the status between me and the elders is not equal. I mentioned it to Lansi, and Lansi's answer Yes: Of course not equal, he is an elder!" Based on "he is an elder", Lan Si can accept this kind of unequal status, but Hong Ling is not very willing, and Bai Su and I feel that it is totally unacceptable. Hong Ling took a breath, and because Bai Su strongly refused to let me interrupt, she could continue her narration. Her narrative has actually come to an end, with some additions. She added that when she told Lansi that she had "seen the elder", Lansi was so emotional that she immediately worshiped the elder on the ground and was so happy that she couldn't speak. Hong Ling had also squeezed into that mountain crevice, until it reached the end—there was a closer distance to the elder, but there was no improvement in terms of communication and seeing. Finally, under the urging of the elder and Lansi, although Hong Ling still wanted to know more about the elder, she had to leave the cave. After leaving, they set off immediately, and when they got off the plane, Lan Si went straight to Tang Dadan, and Hong Ling went home. The situation after Hong Ling returned home has already been described, so I won't repeat it. At this time, Hong Ling narrated her experience, and it came to an end. I had a lot of questions to think about, but at that time, a question that suddenly occurred to me was not important, but it was extremely interesting, and I couldn't help laughing. Hong Ling glared at me, and I pointed at her: "Before you told us what happened, we had to make a serious decision whether to listen to your account, because there would be unpredictable and serious consequences after listening. Yes or no?" Hong Ling blinked, obviously she already knew what I thought.I asked again: "In fact, even if we were afraid of serious consequences and decided to listen to your experience, you would still tell the story, right?" Hong Ling couldn't help laughing out loud, and Bai Su laughed too. Amidst the laughter, Hong Ling said: "That's true. Lan Si gave me a very serious warning. She said that the rules of the elders must not be violated. She believes that the elders have the ability to punish those who violate the rules." Bai Su asked: "Do you think elders don't have this ability?" Hong Ling said: "No, I think the elder does have this ability, but his ability can only reach that cave at the farthest, leaving that cave, the elder's ability will not be able to reach it, because once I leave that cave, I will exhaust myself method, I can’t communicate with the elder in the simplest way, and the signal from the elder can’t reach my brain. So──” Before she finished speaking, I interrupted her: "So as long as we don't go to that cave, even if the elder wants to bring serious consequences to us, he can't do it." Hong Ling made a grimace and nodded. When I first thought of this, I just thought it was funny, because Hong Ling saw through the limitation of the elder's ability, but still pretended to warn us seriously.But at this time, I suddenly thought of a related problem, but it was really serious, and my smile suddenly froze. Bai Su also took a deep breath at the same time, I know she also thought of the same question. We were silent for a while, Hong Ling looked puzzled, she said: "I think the elder's ability can only reach the cave, because there is a three-kilometer-thick rock blocking it--radio waves can't pass through the rock, the elder's The force is stronger than any wave we know, and it can pass through rocks three kilometers thick, but after passing through the rocks, the force is also greatly weakened, and there may be only one ten thousandth...one millionth...or even If it is less, the range of ability is very narrow, and it can only affect people in the cave, and cannot have a greater distance." I completely agree with Hong Ling's analysis. Bai Su first asked Hong Ling a question: "Then what do you think will happen if the elder opens the switch?" Hong Ling had a rather horrified expression in an instant, and replied: "If his ability can pass through a three-kilometer-thick rock and still play a considerable role, then under unobstructed conditions, his ability will It can circle the earth countless times in one second—that is to say, it can reach any corner of the earth, and even leave the earth and go to space. As for how far it can go, I don’t know.” Hongya answered in great detail. I said, "At that time—when the elder switches out, it's hard to imagine what will happen, but one thing is for sure, that is, the elder has the ability to make us bear unpredictable and serious consequences!" Hong Ling obviously thought of this just now, and she nodded with a solemn expression at this moment. Bai Su continued: "After the elder switch is released, he will become the elder of the whole world. The existing order and operation method of the entire world, the existing way of life of the entire human being, everything will inevitably undergo earth-shaking changes!" Hong Ling nodded: "Yes, it must be so, that is... that is the world after the advent of God, and it must be different from the world handled by humans." Bai Su said: "People don't know how this elder behaves at all, would they like and accept such a change?" I immediately said: "There is at least one aspect of this elder's behavior that is extremely unacceptable—he can know other people's thoughts, but his thoughts are not completely known to others. Why he can switch on and off by himself but still can't come out? He didn't tell you. .” Hong Ling hesitated: "Your conclusion is──" Bai Su and I said in unison: "It's better not to switch him out, it's better to let him only be the elder of the head drop sect!" Hong Ling stood up, walked back and forth quickly, and said as she walked: "But the elder really wants the switch to come out... And I don't know what power can stop Lan Si from not taking action... What's more, even if Lan Si doesn't take action , the elder can also switch on and off by himself... I told the elder the situation outside, is it... did I cause some disaster to the world?" Bai Su said: "We don't know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing to have such an elder in the world. We only know that there will be changes, and we can be sure that this change will not be widely welcomed, so there is no need to let it happen." Hong Ling smiled wryly: "But it will inevitably happen, the elders will switch it on and off by themselves!" I thought for a while and said, "Daughter, you are too innocent to be deceived easily, or in other words, easily bluffed!" Hong Ling was not convinced: "You mean the elder──" I nodded: "He doesn't have the ability to switch on and off by himself—otherwise, he would have already switched out!" Hong Ling hesitated. Bai Su added: "Maybe he has this ability, but there must be a lot of scruples in it, which makes him dare not act rashly." Hong Ling was more able to accept Bai Su's statement, she said: "Then the elder can always switch on and off by himself." Bai Su said seriously: "We don't know what he is worried about, but it must be of great importance. Since he has not dared to act rashly for so many years, he will wait any longer." I heard Bai Su's meaning, what she meant was that we all agree that there is no need to help the elder so that he can switch it out.To do this, we are not doing something, but as long as we do nothing, the elders will not come out, and the status quo of the earth will not change. I asked a very crucial question: "Now he is very interested in the outside world, how long do you think he will wait?" Bai Su took a breath slowly: "The concept of time, the elder must be very different from us, and the degree of difference is beyond our imagination." Considering that the elder was trapped in the mountain during the earth's orogeny, you can know that Bai Su's "beyond imagination" is not an exaggeration—the elder has been in the mountain for at least 100 million years, or 100 million years. Years, 200 million years, or 300 million years... It doesn't matter anymore, because the history of human beings is only five thousand years. For the elder, waiting another five thousand years is nothing more than five minutes, or even five seconds, like us waiting. Therefore, even if he is very eager to come out, by the time he takes the action of turning himself on and off, he may already be in the tens of thousands. Years later! No one can imagine what the situation on the earth will be like in thousands or tens of thousands of years. At that time, there may be one more elder on the earth, and it will not have any influence at all. If he wants to come out, let him come out. But it can't be now, it is very difficult for the earth to bear such an elder. Hong Ling also understood Bai Su's meaning, she spread her hands, "It's easy to convince me, but it's necessary to make Lan Si give up..." She shook her head, saying that was impossible. Bai Su paused and said: "I'll find a way." At that time, Hong Ling and I couldn't imagine how Bai Su could make Lan Si give up helping the elders. In Lan Si's mind, helping the elders switch is an extremely sacred task. Regardless, how could Bai Su extinguish the enthusiasm in her heart and make her give up her actions? Before we could ask any questions, Bai Su walked out, and soon out of the gate, Hong Ling looked at me, and I said, "Don't ask me, I don't know what she has to do." Hong Ling said: "Mom must have gone to look for Lan Si, shall we also go, it can be of some help." I'm also worried——Wen Baoyu has been looking for Lansi for a long time, and there is no news at all. I don't know what happened. It is very likely that he has conflicts with Tang Dadan, or even Lansi, so we really need to go and see. Although I was not very willing to go to Tang Dadan's office, I thought about it and nodded in agreement. Half an hour later, Hong Ling and I walked into Tang Dadan's office──I don't want to spend more words to describe the situation in Tang Dadan's office, but just briefly talk about it. This is the most exaggerated office I have ever seen. It is about 3,000 square meters, and it is the entire top floor of the building. There are all modern equipments in it. If you have seen a movie with a great scene, is there any group that wants to dominate the world? As usual, its headquarters is very spectacular. If this kind of headquarters is enlarged ten times, it will almost be Tang Dadan's office. In such a large office, there are at least over a hundred people working in front of various instruments and fluorescent screens. When I first entered, I couldn't recognize who was who, and I couldn't distinguish what sound was what. When I calmed down, I heard a person laughing loudly. The arrogance of his laughter is simply indescribable. Looking at the sound of laughter, I saw Tang Dadan in front of a huge fluorescent screen with his arms outstretched, as if he had won the whole world. He was facing Lansi. It seemed that his posture was for Lansi to walk towards him and accept him. hug. Lansi's expression was so excited that her face was glowing. She obviously understood Tang Dadan's body language and was ready to accept Tang Dadan's invitation. She was walking towards Tang Dadan with a lighter footwork than dancing. But Lansi had only taken a step, and there was a person beside her, reaching out and grabbing Lansi's arm, that person was Wen Baoyu, Wen Baoyu's face and expression were exactly the opposite of Lansi's, which was extremely unlucky. He grabbed Lansi and said loudly, "Come with me, I have something to say!" Lansi also replied loudly: "We won again! We won again!" Wen Baoyu stamped his feet: "Are you done yet! You are a super head-down master, what do you want to do with so much money!" Lansi smiled sweetly: "You don't understand, and I won't tell you, I want a lot of money, the more the better, it's not enough now, Tang Dadan will help me win more!" Wen Baoyu's mouth opened wide, and he couldn't make any other sounds except panting—this kind of situation has never been seen before. Only at this moment did I see clearly the other seven or eight people beside Tang Dadan──after seeing who they were, I couldn't help but secretly took a deep breath. Among these people, I actually only know two or three, like Tao Qiquan, the tycoon, and a few others I don't know, but when I see them, I know who they are. Simply put, they are all The makers of the recent financial turmoil are all fed up in this financial turmoil. However, the current scene clearly shows one thing: their appetites are beyond imagination, and the whole world thinks that they are full, the storm has passed, and they can take a breath while calculating the losses. But in fact, this group of people is just at the beginning—they just started to eat the appetizers, and there will be an unknown number of dishes to satisfy them, or they will never be satisfied at all! Obviously they won again just now, and they are planning to win more, that is to say, financial turmoil will happen one after another! When I thought of this, I felt a tightness in my chest, and my breathing was not very smooth. I hoped to change this situation immediately, but I had no other choice but to turn around and leave here. Among these people, apart from the elders in Lansi's mind, the god in the minds of others is money. The more money, the closer these people feel to God in their hearts. It is exactly the same for Ruth to approach the elders. It seems that they don't know what Lansi wants money for, and they have no interest in knowing. They only know that they need to win more money so that they can live happily. People inherently have various ways of living. I don't want to criticize their way, but I just don't understand it very well. Lansi was held back by Wen Baoyu, unable to move forward, but Tang Dadan kept opening his arms, showing no intention of giving up.Seeing this situation, I hurried over and said loudly, "Hello, everyone!" Tang Dadan looked at me immediately, laughing wildly again.
