After a few seconds, Bai Su and I yelled in unison: "King of Tiangong!" Of course, it would be ideal to find Tiangong Dawu.But King Tiangong disappeared so suddenly, even if I was given a year, I still couldn't be sure of finding him. So we smiled wryly at the same time, and once again said in unison: "Gobi Desert!" In this world, or among the people on earth, if you can count ten individuals who are at the forefront of technology, the two in the Gobi Desert are certainly among them, and they are invited to come immediately, and they will arrive in a few hours. I didn't delay for half a second, and immediately contacted them by phone.As soon as the phone was connected, the two scrambled to talk, but the content was the same, "Wesley, you hurry home, or your house will be demolished by that fat woman, and it will be difficult to keep your daughter and that bird!"

This kind of messy words really needs to be sorted out to understand what it means. Of course it was Wen Baoyu's Ling Tang, who still thought that Wen Baoyu's disappearance was related to me, so he came to make a noise. I was not angry: "Don't bother with this kind of nosy matter, the matter is related to Wen Baoyu's disappearance, come to me immediately!" The two still insisted: "You need to come back and take a look. According to legend, Meng Jiangnu cried at the Great Wall. Compared with Ms. Wen, the momentum is probably not as good." I don't think the words of the Gobi Desert are exaggerated, but of course I won't go back. I shouted: "There is a legend here, which is more wonderful than any legend. You are limited to come here immediately after you go out within five minutes."

After I finished speaking, I hung up the phone and immediately arranged for someone to pick them up at the airport. In the few hours after that, Lansi arranged for all the head-down masters to leave. I paid special attention to the head-down master who had countless small flying insects on his body. None of the flying insects he released came back. I wanted to talk to him for a few minutes. sentence, but no chance. After Lansi sent the head-down master away, Tao Qiquan called again soon: "Tomorrow at noon, the Congress will be able to elect a new head of state. Let's see if your trick works."

I hurriedly told him our new discovery, and asked him to come to the study immediately - he is the most familiar with the Führer, and has entered the study the most times, so he should know something about this painting. Tao Qiquan arrived half an hour later when he heard the new discovery. When he stood in front of the thing and stared at it, he was fascinated and shook his head: "This thing... must have been on this wall all the time. but I never paid attention to it, it was just an inexplicable book... What's so weird about it?" I said: "I don't know, we'll wait until the Gobi Desert comes. Think about it carefully, does the head of state have any strange behaviors with this thing?"

Tao Qiquan frowned, thought for a while, then shook his head: "I can't remember." I was disappointed, but Bai Su said: "Because this thing has a lot to do with him, so when there are people, he has to take extra care to cover it up." Tao Qiquan looked left and right at the thing, and naturally he couldn't see the name. During this period, Lansi was the most anxious. I saw that she had used at least twenty methods to make new discoveries, but her expression became more and more frustrated, she kept shaking her head, and finally said: "It's still the same—if I can't see this thing, it doesn't exist!"

After experiencing so many strange things, Lansi's words can be understood immediately. When a large number of instruments brought by the Gobi Desert arrived, we made many assumptions, but none of them could be established. As soon as the Gobi Desert arrived, Bai Su first told them everything that happened and our analysis.The two listened and started to act. The instruments they brought were all their own designs, and I didn't recognize any of them. I saw them stick a suction cup to the thing, and when they started the instrument, the two of them jumped up as if they had been shocked by an electric shock.

The two of them looked at each other with surprised and inexplicable expressions, took a breath at the same time, and said: "This thing is connected to a launch station with powerful energy." It was difficult for the few people present to understand the meaning of this sentence, so they continued on their own: "That energy doesn't look like electrical energy, but it also looks like electrical energy." If this kind of words came from someone else's mouth, the listener would think that the speaker was an idiot, but it was quite different when it came from the mouth of the Gobi Desert.That means they discovered a powerful energy, which is close to electric energy, but not electric energy - this is completely in line with Bai Su's hypothesis just now.

I immediately asked: "Isn't this the energy of the earth?" The two replied: "At least not among the various energies we know." Tao Qiquan asked quickly: "Is there such a thing? Where is the energy emission station?" The two took out some other instruments and operated them for a while, their expressions became even more strange, and they said repeatedly: "Not far, not far." Tao Qiquan obviously didn't know the abilities of the two of them very well, and of course he knew that there were no power plants or other buildings near the annex, so he was quite disdainful.

I hurriedly stood between Tao Qiquan and the two of them, lest they see Tao Qiquan's expression and conflict with Tao Qiquan. At this time, Gobi was holding an instrument in his hand, on which the numbers were constantly beating and the pointer was turning. Gobi was holding the instrument, walking around the study, and stopped in front of the glass door. Desert immediately went over and opened the door, Gobi walked towards the garden, Desert led the way out, Lansi, Bai Su and I also walked out, Tao Qiquan came to the garden at last, he sneered and said: "Is that energy launch station in this garden?" ?”

The Gobi Desert actually heard Tao Qiquan's sarcasm, and the two replied: "Even though it's not in the middle, it's not far away!" Hearing what they said with such certainty, I couldn't help being very puzzled.Because it seems that there is no powerful energy emitting device in this garden. While speaking, the Gobi Desert had reached the foot of the fence, and the two moved swiftly. One took out a bag of things and slapped it on the wall, and the thing stuck to the wall.The other took out a pipe and stuck it in the package, and the two backed away together, and reached out to stop us from going forward.

Seeing that the situation was not good, I yelled, "What are you trying to do!" As soon as the words were spoken, things had already happened.There was only a loud bang, dust and smoke rose, bricks and stones fell, and a big hole was blown out of the wall! Everyone was astonished, but the two people in the Gobi Desert acted as if they had nothing to enjoy, they stretched out their hands to pat the dust off each other's bodies, and stepped out of the hole. It was a joy for these two people to act so straightforwardly. I followed out first, and when Tao Qiquan and Shui Hong finally came out, the Gobi Desert was studying the barbed wire piled up in the trench beside the trench, and they were so close to the barbed wire that they could reach out. Tao Qiquan and I warned at the same time: "Be careful! There is high voltage on the barbed wire!" At this time, the two had already put a stick of unknown quality on the barbed wire, and there was a crackling sound, and sparks continued to burst out. The two talked to themselves, one said: "It's really like high-voltage electricity!" The other said: "It should be more like static electricity." Listening to their discussion, the energy on the barbed wire is not electrical energy! At this time we also came to the edge of the trench, and the Gobi Desert looked at me with a very excited expression: "Wesley, you are indispensable for any strange thing, there is an energy here that is beyond the scope of human knowledge, find out its source , we can gain further understanding.” Things suddenly changed like this, and it was very unexpected. I couldn't react for a while, so I had to ask: "Where is the source?" The two walked to the left together, and when they reached the end of the ditch, there was a wall. I hurriedly said, "Are you going to use explosives again?" The two shook their heads together, and they moved in unison. They squatted down and stretched out their hands to pull the barbed wire without using insulating gloves! Even Bai Su, who has always been extremely calm, couldn't help but let out a low cry when he saw this situation, and saw the two men's hands grabbing the barbed wire, and there was a slight explosion and sparks, but the two of them pulled the barbed wire apart forcefully as if nothing had happened. There was a gap, and he was still talking: "It really looks like static electricity." It turned out that they had already discovered that this kind of energy, although it produces a visual effect like high voltage electricity, does not cause harm to the human body. They jumped into the ditch from the opened gap, and then pushed the barbed wire with their bodies to widen the gap. In less than two minutes, their cheers were heard: "Here it is!" It's not surprising that the two cheered in the Gobi Desert, but it's strange that Lansi also shouted almost at the same time: "Here it is!" Lan Si screamed and jumped down the ditch. At this time, Gobi was at the bottom of the ditch, pulled up a stick of thirty-meter hair length, and pressed it from one end to the other, while Lansi yelled loudly: "Xiaobao! Xiaobao!" Only then did I realize that Lansi must have suddenly sensed Wen Baoyu's presence just now, that's why she yelled "I'm here". Following Lansi's cry, there was a sound at the bottom of the trench, and a part of it began to move, revealing a large pit. The pit was two meters deep and three meters square. If you look carefully, you can see that it is a large iron box buried in the ground. The walls of the box are not smooth, and there are many uneven things. I don't know what effect it has. These are not important, the most important thing is that in the big iron box, there are two people lying on their backs, one is Wen Baoyu, and the other is the head of state. Among all the people, except Lansi, the rest never thought that there would be someone under the trench, so even the Gobi Desert was taken aback. Both Wen Baoyu and the head of state seemed to be in a coma, Lansi yelled and jumped down, but she jumped up, and the Gobi Desert, one on each side, had already grabbed her arm and shouted: "No! " Lansi struggled vigorously, at this moment, Wen Baoyu opened his eyes and sat up, with a dazed expression, like waking up from a big dream. Immediately afterwards, the head of state also sat up like Wen Baoyu, but he didn't look confused, but panicked when he saw so many people looking at him.He immediately saw Tao Qiquan in the crowd, and before he could stand up, he shook his hands and shouted to Tao Qiquan: "I have already said it, I take back my wish, don't be any more heads of state, no more heads of state! " Following the head of state's inexplicable yelling, Wen Baoyu also yelled, and his words were even more incomprehensible. What he yelled was: "I don't want to be the head of state, who the hell wants to be this kind of head of state!" While yelling, he saw Lansi, yelled again, and jumped up, jumping out of the big iron box all at once.The Gobi Desert let go, and Wen Baoyu and Lansi immediately hugged each other tightly. The scene was very touching. The story begins with the search for Wen Baoyu, and it should be considered as the end when Wen Baoyu is found. However, the storyteller knows that if it ends here, the listeners will boo loudly—the listeners are used to looking for the bottom line. There is a passage called: "The old grandma is talking nonsense, but the brother Qing is looking for the bottom line."But I don’t know that there are many stories (and many facts) that have no idea, no ins and outs, and cannot be pursued, especially various legends, whether it is Nuwa refining stones to mend the sky, or Hou Yi shooting down the nine suns, etc. etc., can't get into the details. However, according to this person's legend, at least two people have truly entered the legendary realm, so some details can be described in detail. First explain to the head of state.After the head of state appeared, he firmly stated that he had given up his original wish and would not be the head of state anymore.Originally, the biggest difficulty in electing a new head of state was how to explain the whereabouts of the head of state. Now this problem has been solved. Besides, Wen Baoyu, everyone had so many questions to ask him, I walked over first and separated him from Lansi with force. Before I asked any questions, Wen Baoyu danced and danced, his expression extremely excited, and he said loudly: "I know what's going on with that guy surnamed Yu!" Although we are all used to Wen Baoyu's unreasonable way of speaking, no one understands what he means at this time. Not to mention us, even Lan Si, who can almost communicate with him, is at a loss, not knowing what he is flattering.Wen Baoyu continued to wave his hands: "What happened after Mr. Yu met Mr. Ri at the Handan Hotel." As soon as he added it like this, I understood the story of "Huangliang Yimeng" he said. The story of Huang Liangmeng is widely spread, and it is a novel in the Tang Dynasty.It is said that a young man surnamed Yu met an old gentleman surnamed Lu (later known as Lu Chunyang) in a hotel in Handan. The young man lamented that he was poor, and the old man took out a pillow and asked the young man to sleep .At that time, the owner of the hotel was cooking yellow beams, and the young man fell asleep on the pillow. In a trance, he suddenly became prosperous, married a beautiful wife and concubine, became a high-ranking official, enjoyed all the glory and wealth, and lived through dozens of hardships. .But when he woke up suddenly, the Huang Liang cooked by the boss was not yet cooked. What the novel wants to express is: life is like a dream, and one must wake up (death) in the end. I understood that Wen Baoyu was talking about Huang Liangmeng's story, but I didn't understand why he brought up this story at this time - because it seemed to have nothing to do with what happened now. Wen Baoyu's excitement continued to grow: "I became the head of state. Although I didn't want to be the head of state, but with the yellow robe on, I still became the head of state!" After he said this, he said very seriously: "It's not easy to be a leader without a leader, it's very boring. Fortunately, I don't have to be a leader forever." His words are even more inexplicable.I was about to yell at him to speak more clearly, but Bai Su had already said: "Xiaobao, tell me what happened in the order of what happened." Wen Baoyu calmed down: "Okay, when I entered the study, I saw a person sitting behind the desk, frowning, it was him—" When he said this, he pointed to the head of state. At that time, the head of state was whispering to Tao Qiquan. I knew that there must be a very complicated process, so I said loudly: "Everyone go to the study and talk about it." When everyone arrived in the study, it seemed that the head of state and Tao Qiquan already had a tacit understanding, so everyone listened to Wen Baoyu talk about his experience. At that time, Wen Baoyu recognized at a glance that the frowning person was the head of state.He was so surprised that he sat down opposite the head of state. Yuan first asked him: "Do you want to be the head of state?" Wen Baoyu thought he had met a lunatic, but the head of state suddenly jumped over the desk, grabbed Wen Baoyu, pulled him to the front of the painting, and shouted: "Look, look inside, you will like that place!" Wen Baoyu didn't want to look at it at first, but that thing caught his attention.After he glanced at it, he felt his whole body flew into it, entering a very wonderful and indescribable realm. But just as he was trying to figure out where he was, he suddenly "come back" and stood where he was.He understood that all of this was caused by the head of state, and the head of state asked him again: "In that place, you can achieve your wish, do you want to go?" Wen Baoyu was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, and since the situation just now was so wonderful, he wanted to find out more, so he agreed immediately. The Führer dragged him into the garden, climbed over the wall, and opened the lid of the large iron box at the bottom of the trench, just like the process of searching for energy sources in the Gobi Desert, and the two of them lay down together.The head of state was very familiar with all these things, and closed the lid again. Wen Baoyu felt a burst of darkness before his eyes, and then entered the state just now. Later, each of us repeatedly asked Wen Baoyu what kind of state it was, but Wen Baoyu couldn't say it. He replied in my words: "That kind of state is beyond the scope of human cognition, so it cannot be used. It can only be expressed in the language of human beings. It can only be said that it is a state of being able to do whatever you want—whatever you think of, you can be in any state. Begging me to be the head of state for him, I reluctantly agreed, and immediately became the head of state!" It was not very difficult to understand what had happened to him.I believe that in the big iron box, there is a kind of energy that strongly affects the activities of his brain, making him feel as real as possible. All human feelings are originally produced by brain activity, and there is actually no distinction between "true" and "false".When there is feeling, there is: "When there is no feeling, there is nothing." There are only "yes" and "no", not "true" and "false"! Since there is energy that makes Wen Baoyu's brain activity produce the feeling that he has become the head of state, then he has also become the head of state-this situation is the same as when the young man surnamed Yu entered his prosperous and wealthy years. Undoubtedly, the ability to influence brain activity. Wen Baoyu felt that being the head of state was not fun at all, he felt very painful and helpless, but he couldn't change it. When he was in a state of incomparable life, he suddenly woke up - of course, because the Gobi Desert opened the big cash box, which made the energy lost or temporarily result of stopping. The Gobi Desert was able to detect the source of that energy with the instruments they created themselves, which is really a remarkable achievement.But afterwards, the two were extremely frustrated, because they didn't expect that the energy would disappear as soon as they opened the big iron box. It is an energy that does not exist on the earth, or that humans have not yet discovered. If it can be mastered, it can change human civilization.And they missed this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. And it's a pity that I failed to capture this energy.It just occurred to me that this energy must have an extremely powerful effect on human brain activity. This ability exists, and Lansi has no feeling for Wen Baoyu at all. This energy disappeared, and Lansi immediately felt Wen Baoyu's presence. Lansi is a super head lowering master. Her brain activity is many times stronger than that of ordinary people, and she is affected so much, ordinary people can even imagine. When Wen Baoyu finished talking about his experience, everyone's eyes were on the head of state. Tao Qiquan had no respect for Yuanhu, and at this moment he almost shouted: "Where did these things come from?" The head of state shook his hands: "It's none of my business. I came here for the first time... When the marshal brought me in, everything was already here. The marshal also let me see the painting first, and then took me to lie on the big bed. In the iron box, I arrived at a place, and the marshal said that it was a legendary place where people's wishes could come true..." The head of state also said some things, which are in line with the conjectures made by our ministry, so there is no need to repeat them. At this point, the matter can really come to an end. There are only three questions left: one big, one middle school and one small. Let me talk about the small ones first: "Why did the chief guard commit suicide?" After we entered the study room, I paid attention to the painting for the first time, and saw that it was still colorful, but it was still and dead.But it used to be alive, a soul that could be absorbed.It is believed that it "dead" due to the disappearance of that energy.And when it is "alive", when someone is lying in the big iron box, it may undergo a terrible change, causing the chief guard to commit suicide because his nerves are beyond his capacity in an instant. Since no one else was in the study at the time, we had no way of knowing what happened, so we had to speculate—this is the conjecture that many of us agree with. If you disagree, please feel free to make other assumptions. The central question is: "Where did those devices come from?" This question, since the marshal is no longer alive, so I can only speculate that of course everyone can expect it - since that kind of energy does not belong to the earth, it is of course a good thing done by aliens! I am afraid that your Excellency cannot disagree with this assumption, because there is no second possibility at all—the only possibility, even if you are unwilling to accept it, it is still the only possibility, this is "Wesley's Law"! The big question is: "How can that kind of power make a fool head of state?" The answer to this question can only be sought in inference.When we were discussing this issue, we were still the same people who were in the study at that time—except for the Führer, who had already discharged all responsibilities and returned to the countryside.When he said goodbye to us, he said: "Now I am myself, and I am a real person, not a dream." What he said sounded like a sigh, but later in our discussion, it played a certain enlightening role. I used the method of dialogue to describe the essence of each person's speech in the discussion, but deliberately did not explain what was said and who said it, so that everyone could guess who said what.Fortunately, everyone should already know what each person's personality is and how they will infer. The following are the speeches of each person during the discussion. First, the question was raised. Suppose those devices in the annex come from that place, and that place has some kind of incredible energy that affects people's brain activities, but that can only make people feel that they are the head of state, not the real head of state .Why has the head of state really been the head of state for decades? "Isn't it already confirmed that there are only 'feeling' and 'not feeling'? Why did you ask such a question again?" Is this like a story?He has a feeling, it's his business, he is dreaming, why do others regard him as the head of state? In the example of "Huang Liang Meng", a person who becomes a high official and enjoys all the glory and wealth is not a one-man show. There are many people of all colors waiting around him. "And how do you know that those people also saw him in their dreams?" ... Imagine a long silence. "There is only 'feeling' or 'no feeling', not 'real' or 'false'!" "Ah! That's why Mr. Zhou is not sure whether he is a butterfly dreaming and turning into a human, or a person dreaming turning into a butterfly!" "It's an old saying that life is a dream—are we all dreaming?" "This question, since Mr. Zhou first raised it, no one has been able to answer it for more than two thousand years. It is still the same sentence: whether it feels real to you, whether it is a dream or not, it is real." "Haha! So everyone is dreaming!" The discussion ended here, and everyone went their separate ways.When Bai Su and I went home, we expected to hear Mother Wen's screams, so we were still far away from home, so we naturally blocked our ears, but unexpectedly the house was extremely quiet. When I entered the door, I saw Mother Wen sitting on the ground, beating her chest and jumping, crying and screaming, but the sound she made was extremely weak, and Hong Ling was looking at her opposite her with a smile.Looking at this situation, one could tell that the yelling for the past few days had made her unable to make a sound. Wen Baoyu arrived five minutes later, and after seeing her son, Mother Wen stood up—and fortunately, otherwise, she would have to use a crane to make her stand up. Fortunately, they opened a traditional Chinese medicine shop in their home, and there were as many medicinal materials as Pang Hai, Dong Gua Ren, Sour Prickly Core, Brine Bamboo Bee, etc. to treat loss of voice. It was guaranteed that after ten or eight days, she would be able to break the glass again. It occurred to me how lucky she was to feel as good as Mama Wen, who would never have thought of the possibility that she might be dreaming. But if a wish can really be fulfilled as in the legend, even if it is a dream, so what? Do you respect your opinion? (full text)
