Chapter 8 Chapter Seven: The Mysterious Power of the Golden Ball Disappears

I was very excited when I received the telegram that Bai Su was coming back, because Bai Su and I broke up for a long time, I went to the airport to pick her up, but I didn't receive Bai Su. The plane that Bai Su took never flew to the destination, which is what was narrated in the story titled "Atomic Space".Although Bai Su's plane never flew to the destination, Bai Su and I finally met each other.There is also an extremely long period of time—being together in a situation where time is almost meaningless. During that period of time that has passed, Bai Su told me in detail all the process of her taking the golden ball, and I have recorded everything she said before.

(The adventure in that realm is described in the story "Atomic Space".) Everything Bai Su said, I have no doubts, no doubts. However, I also have a great question, that is; why do people in that area have such reverence for the so-called "Golden Ball from Beyond the Sky"? To say that the golden ball is merely a superstitious symbol would satisfy most people, but not me. Because the scholars in that area can say that their research on spirituality surpasses anywhere else in the world. They firmly believe that some people can have an ideological connection with the golden ball and get enlightenment from the golden ball. This may not be accidental.

However, if you want to admit this, you must first admit that the Golden Ball will also "think" that day.Otherwise, "Golden Ball" would not be able to exchange ideas with certain people. Isn't it ridiculous that a metal ball has thoughts?Those with thoughts should be animals, so that metal ball, that "Golden Ball from Beyond the Sky", could it be an animal? Whether the golden ball is an animal, I am not sure, but I am sure that the golden ball can move, and I am sure of this based on Bai Su's narration. When Bai Su talked about how she finally found the "golden ball outside the sky" in the shrine, the golden ball was not in one of the nine dark spaces, but in a hole that looked like it had been eaten by moths. Among them, the hole was nearly two feet long, Bai Su's arm was just long enough, so he was able to slowly take out the golden ball!

How did that hole come about? Why is the golden ball not in the hidden compartment? Couldn't it be said that the golden ball "wanted" to leave the secret space, so it was slowly advancing forward with a huge force and a very slow speed? This kind of statement, of course, is close to absurdity, but it lingers in my mind. After we got home, preparing for the wedding, we sent a telegram to urge Bai Su's father to come back. Boss Bai's call back delayed our wedding.The reply was very long, and he said that the research work of him and a few friends had begun to take shape.What they study is how to make new wine become old wine in a very short time.He said he couldn't come now, and if we insisted on getting married immediately, he certainly had no objection.But if we can wait until his research is successful, so that our wedding guests can be the first batch of people in the world to enjoy this fine wine, he will naturally welcome Yun Yun even more.

Bai Su and I couldn't help laughing after reading the telegram.We're in no rush to get married, but we can't wait forever either.We also want him to succeed, so we decided to wait for him for a year. For the next two months, we had a lot of fun.But in the game, I still haven't forgotten the "golden ball outside the sky". One day, at dusk, Bai Su and I were lying together on a piece of grass near the sea in the outskirts, looking at the sky that had been burned red by the sunset for a long time, I suddenly asked: "Did the supreme leader get anything from the golden ball?" Apocalypse?"

When Bai Su brought up this matter, there was still lingering anger in his heart: "Who knows about them, why bother with him?" I thought for a while: "I don't think so, don't you think it's strange that the golden ball is not in its original place?" Bai Su slightly annoyed: "Don't mention the golden ball again, okay?" I shook my head and said: "No, I want to mention it. Not only do I want to mention it, but I have nothing to do these few days anyway. I want to go to India with you. I want to take a closer look at that golden ball!" Bai Su jumped up from the grass, put his hands on his hips, and looked at me with a fierce look.

Even if she puts on a fierce face, she still looks very beautiful.She saw that I put on an admiring gesture, but she couldn't be more aggressive, and turned around: "You want to go to India, you can go alone, I won't go." I stood up and went behind her: "If you don't go with me, if there is something wrong with me, then we will say goodbye forever?" Bai Su shook his head: "First of all, I need to know the purpose of your trip to India." I also said seriously: "Okay, I can tell you that the purpose of my trip to India was to find out whether the golden ball can communicate with people in thought."

Bai Su said coldly: "Hmph, you have new tricks again? When did you become interested in spiritual research again?" I hurriedly said: "I have been interested in it for a long time, but I just don't have the opportunity. This golden ball is not only from the center of spiritual research in the world, but also has a record of exchanging thoughts with people. How can I have such a good opportunity?" Easily missed?" Bai Su said again: "After arriving in India, what are your plans?" I said: "I think, since you were the one who took the golden ball from the Divine Palace through your life and death, it should be okay for you to borrow it from them to watch it?"

Bai Su said: "Then I'm not sure." I laughed: "To be honest, even if they don't want to borrow it, with the abilities of the two of us, can't we still steal it?" Bai Su felt a bit ridiculous: "Okay, even if you steal it, what about you?" I thought for a while: "Then, let's find a place and sit in front of it, and see who can get that wonderful telepathy on the golden ball first." I am a person who does what I think, and a day later, we were picked up at the airport in Calcutta and headed to the hotel. We had a short rest in the hotel, then Bai Su led the way to find Sa Ren.

The house was just as Bai Su described, it was very spacious, the two men guarding the door obviously knew Bai Su, when they saw her, they immediately saluted her respectfully, but Bai Su didn't go in immediately, but just told them that she To see Mr. Saren. One of the two big men walked in, and after a while, Sa Ren came running out, with an extremely welcoming look on his face, once you saw the look on his face, you knew He really welcomes Bai Su's arrival.I thought this warm welcome from him might dilute the unpleasantness of their last parting. Sure enough, they shook hands eagerly, and Bai Su immediately introduced me to Sa Ren, and Sa Ren and I also shook hands vigorously:

"Welcome, welcome, long-awaited name!" Naturally, I couldn't help being modest, Sa Ren led me into the living room, after a short chat, I cut to the chase and said, "Mr. Sa Ren, how did the golden ball go that day?" Sa Ren was originally chatting with us happily, but when he heard the words "Golden Ball from Beyond the Sky", a dark cloud immediately covered his face. He didn't answer, just sighed. Bai Su and I didn't make a sound, just looked at him. After a while, Sa Ren said again: "This is our misfortune. Even our supreme leader can't get any enlightenment in front of the golden ball. Miss Bai, don't be angry. I think there must be something wrong with the golden ball." Something is wrong, it must be." Bai Su didn't get angry anymore, she just looked at Sa Ren with sympathetic eyes, because Sa Ren's expression was indeed very depressed. He paused, and then said again: "About this point, it is the top secret, I hope the two of you will not mention it to anyone." Both Bai Su and I nodded in agreement, and I asked, "So, what's your opinion on this matter?" Sa Ren seemed a little confused, he asked back: "You mean..." I added: "I mean, I'd like to hear your opinion on the revelation that the Ballon d'Or will inspire." Sa Ren listened attentively, and then said: "There is no doubt about it. The golden ball flew from the sky, and it has been hundreds of years. It is clearly recorded in the ancient books of the shrine. The ball fell from the sky and landed in a courtyard, piercing through thick stones, and the golden ball had to be cut open to get out. The first eminent monk who faced the golden ball felt that the golden ball was given to him. To exchange ideas with him through enlightenment..." I also listened attentively, and then asked: "Not everyone can exchange ideas with Jin Qiu, can they?" "Yes, not everyone must be a well-cultivated monk." "Have you seen a golden ball before?" "Yes, I am one of the few children allowed to move freely in the shrine. I have seen the golden ball." "Do you have a sense for the golden ball?" "I don't have it, but my father has this kind of power. I have heard him tell about the situation at that time. My father is a person who never lies, so I believe that the golden ball outside the sky does have the ability to touch people's thoughts, The power to inspire the mind!" Sa Ren spoke so definitely and resolutely that I looked at Bai Su, what I meant, Bai Su understood, that is: this golden ball must have something really magical, and it must not be used" The word "superstition" will wipe out its wonderful place! I said again: "Then, Mr. Sa Ren, can you repeat to us what your father said at that time?" Saren said: "Of course, my father had this experience several times, and each time it was the same. He put the golden ball in front of him, sat facing the golden ball, and then he felt that the golden ball was not a dead object. It is alive and alive. Although the golden ball is still motionless, he feels that someone is speaking to him. The person who is speaking to him is undoubtedly a prophet, because he has many difficult questions, and he can solve them in the In such an exchange of ideas, he got an answer and asked Jin Qiu to help him!" Bai Su opened his mouth to speak when he heard this. However, I gave her a wink and stopped her words, because I knew she was going to say "this is so ridiculous"! I asked: "Behind the secret compartment where the golden ball is placed, is there a secret passage that allows the golden ball to fall?" Sa Ren said: "No, there is no such thing. When I was young, the eminent monks thought I was a supernatural boy. Almost every time I invited the golden ball out, I was the one who held the golden ball." I immediately said: "So, what do you think is different about the Golden Ball today?" Sa Ren shook his head and said: "No, the golden ball is exactly the same... It seems to be a little lighter... But it may also be because I have grown up and have a different sense of weight." I nodded and said, "Thank you very much, Mr. Sa Ren, I have a request, I wonder if you can agree." Sa Ren said with emotion: "I don't think there is anything I can't agree to." I said slowly: "I want to borrow this golden ball from you to study it for a period of one month, and I will definitely return it." When Sa Ren heard this, he was stunned. I said: "Can't?" Sa Ren hurriedly said: "No, but I can't decide on this important matter, and neither can Zhang Mo. It must be approved by our supreme leader, and the golden ball is with him." I said: "Then, introduce yourself to your supreme leader and let me ask in person?" Sa Ren pondered for a while, then stood up: "Please wait a moment, I will discuss with Zhang Mo, because he is sick, so he can't accompany the guests, please forgive me." As Saren spoke, he walked in. As soon as he entered, Bai Su said in a low voice: "You really are, borrowing this golden ball, what is there to study?" I said: "Don't worry, I already have a rough idea, do you want to hear it?" Bai Su curled her lips: "What concept? Isn't it just wishful thinking?" I laughed: "The progress of science all comes from fantasies. If it weren't for someone's fantasies, how could there be an airplane? If it weren't for someone's fantasies, how could he move his body without walking?" Will there be a car?" Bai Su waved his hand and said: "Okay, okay, who will listen to your big principles, what rough idea do you have about the golden ball, tell me quickly." I said: "I think, the golden ball that day was most likely—" Having said this, Sa Ren walked in. As soon as he came in, my words stopped naturally.Sa Ren's face was quite excited, and he said as soon as he came in: "Okay, Mr. Zhang Mo authorized me to take you to meet the supreme leader. This is a great honor." We didn't express any other opinions, Saren asked us to leave immediately, we drove to the airport, Saren had a small plane, we flew north. The plane flew for a long time, and we came to a small town at the foot of the mountain. This small town is very quiet and beautiful. In an extremely gorgeous villa, we met the world-famous supreme leader.The leader was dressed as a monk and wore black-rimmed glasses. But even with his glasses he looked younger than me. However, he has an awe-inspiring spirit. We talked to him a few words, and I found that he is a very smart person. Then, I made my request. He was silent for a long time, instead of directly agreeing to my request, he asked instead: "What do you think about this matter?" His words made me very embarrassed. Of course I have my opinion, but I'm afraid that not only will he not accept my opinion, but he doesn't even like to hear it! I also stayed for a while, and then asked him: "Do you like my real opinion? Or listen to my perfunctory opinion?" It is very smart for me to say this, because after I have said that, even if there is something that offends him in the future, he can't blame me, because I have said something before. After hearing this, he laughed: "Just say that I am a Buddhist major. One of the advantages of a Buddhist major is that you can accommodate any other views that are contrary to Buddhist teachings. Buddhism is broad and compatible." I had long heard that this singular figure was quite enlightened, and it proved to be true now. I said reassuringly: "I have two opinions. The first one is that golden ball, it is impossible to exchange ideas with people, and there have been such legends for hundreds of years, it is one of your tricks." I spoke very bluntly, and Sa Ren's expression on the side changed. Bai Su also stared at me, as if blaming me for saying that. The supreme leader also remained silent. I saw that he seemed a little unhappy, so I stopped for a while and didn't go on talking. The embarrassing silence lasted for about three minutes. Those three minutes lasted like three months. It made people feel uncomfortable and uncomfortable.Finally, he sighed: "No, you are wrong, this is definitely not a trick, I guarantee on my personal reputation, I have indeed had an ideological exchange with this golden ball, from the golden ball's thoughts , and gave me many extraordinary revelations.” After he finished speaking, he paused: "Do you believe it?" I quickly said, "Of course I believe it." He added: "Then, what is your second opinion?" I said: "The second opinion is that this golden ball flew from outside the sky, it may be something that flew from another planet." He frowned, but didn't interrupt.Bai Su looked at me with an unusual look, and I guessed she was about to laugh. This is indeed very funny, because for hundreds of years, only metaphysics, spirituality and spirituality have been related to this mysterious extraterrestrial golden ball, but I have combined it with cutting-edge science. I stopped for a short time, then continued: "For example, it is an instrument released by an advanced creature on another planet. The purpose of this instrument is to explore whether there are advanced creatures with thoughts on the earth. When it fell from the sky, it happened to land in the divine palace, so this extraterrestrial golden ball became your treasure." He shook his head slowly and said, "I still don't understand, for example, how can it communicate with people?" I said: "I still have a far-sighted hypothesis, that is, this golden ball is actually a very sophisticated instrument, maybe it is also under the command of an advanced creature on an unknown planet far away. Its Since the task is to explore whether there are advanced thinking creatures on the earth, then it must emit electric waves similar to the brain waves of the earth's creatures──” I just said this, and he waved his hand: "I understand what you mean!" He spoke only one sentence, then paused again. After a while, he said again: "So, when the microwave in the golden ball interacts with our brain waves, we can communicate with the golden ball, right?" I was amazed in my heart that the spiritual and religious leaders of such a mysterious area also had a certain degree of modern knowledge. I nodded quickly and said, "That's right, that's what it means." He suddenly laughed heartily again, and said: "Actually, there is no difference in our opinions, do you understand? If some of the names of our two opinions are changed, it will be the same. You say a certain The advanced creature on this planet, I said it was the Buddha of Western Heaven, you said that the purpose of the golden ball landing on the earth is to explore whether there are advanced creatures on the earth, and I said that the golden ball happened to land on our shrine, which was directly given to us by the Buddha. Enlightenment, because our region has always been the most pious place to take refuge in my Buddha." I agree with what he said, but I asked unceremoniously: "Then, why can't you get any enlightenment in the golden ball now?" A rather painful look appeared on the leader's face: "Perhaps, it's because we have left the original place." I shook my head and said, "I have a different opinion. I think that some kind of high-level creature that released the golden ball made some adjustments to the golden ball—" Then, I talked about the fact that the golden ball had moved in the shrine , Talked to him again, and then said: "So I ask you to lend me this golden ball to study for a month, because I am particularly interested in things like this." He was silent for a moment before saying: "Okay, I promise you, but there are two conditions." When I heard his promise, I was very happy, and hurriedly said: "Just mention it!" He said: "First, you are not allowed to damage the golden ball. When the golden ball is returned to me, it must still be intact. Second, no matter what the result of your research is, you must tell me the truth." I stood up: "This is a matter of course, I will definitely abide by your conditions." He clapped his palms, and two old monks came in, and he said a few words to them. Bai Su couldn't understand what he said, but I could understand it. I am proud of being proficient in various unpopular languages. a little bit. I heard him ordering: "Go get the golden ball in front of the Buddha's seat in the Western Heaven and give it to this gentleman!" The two old monks walked away respectfully.After a while, he came out holding a sandalwood box, asked him for instructions, and then handed the box to me. I suppressed my strong curiosity, I didn't open it to read it immediately, Sa Ren immediately signaled that we should leave, so Bai Su and I, accompanied by Sa Ren, left. Once in the outer room, Sa Ren said excitedly: "I haven't seen him talk so much since he escaped!" I also expressed my opinion: "He is a very learned and intelligent person. Even if he is not regarded as an idol by you, he can still be an outstanding scholar or Buddhist scholar." We retreated all the way, and when we were approaching the gate of the building, Saren warned us: "You two should be more careful, because as far as I know, some parties still haven't given up their attempt to get this golden ball. If the golden ball falls into their hands, we will suffer too much loss, Miss Bai should know this." I nodded and said, "To protect this golden ball, I must first give up this box." Sa Ren went further and said: "I have a better method. You give me the empty box, and I hold it. Go out through the gate, and the two of you go through the back door. There are several gates here, day and night, There are spies on several fronts watching." At that time, I almost didn't even think about it, so I agreed to Sa Ren, because the method Sa Ren said was indeed a good one. I also smiled and said: "That's right, I can go through the back door and disguise myself as your cook!" Sa Ren also smiled and said, "It's good to be wrong, but will you speak our words?" I immediately said: "The green kueh tsampa ball is ready, my lord, please use it. The crisp tea is on the table." Sa Ren looked at me in surprise and laughed loudly. He really told us to go to the back door. In the kitchen, Bai Su and I changed into cook and cook costumes, went out the back door, and a car took us back to the hotel go. Alas, this is really unexpected! The next morning, when we were in the hotel and opened the morning newspaper, we saw the news of Saren's death. I saw it first, and then Bai Su rushed into my room, the two of us stood opposite each other, dumbstruck.Bai Su and I are definitely not people whose feelings are fragile and cannot withstand blows.But Sa Ren's death was too unexpected. According to the records in the newspaper, he carried a box and boarded the car, but the car only drove a few dozen yards, and a round of machine guns shot the car into a honeycomb, and Saren died of course. Then, several big men rushed Come here and grab that box. Saren can be said to have died for us. Moreover, if I hadn't suddenly become interested in the golden ball and wanted to study it further, if I came to India, how could Sa Ren die? The two of us have become Saren's life-threatening judges! After a while, we sat down together.After a while, I finally said: "Right now, the only consolation we can have is that he must die painlessly." I don't know if we have been suspected, I put on a make-up first, put on a mask of nylon fiber.Then, I persuaded Bai Su to hurry up and put on makeup. We almost didn’t bring anything, only the golden ball—wrapped randomly in old newspapers, it looked like a broken oil bottle from the outside . Then, we used the most crude means of transportation, because Bai Su and I pretended to be a poor couple.We were walking all over India, and for a certain distance, even Bai Su was sitting on a wheelbarrow and I was pushing her. We did not reach New Delhi until a month later, when I believe we were completely out of the trail. After some procedures in New Delhi, we took the golden ball and flew directly to the United States. When we were wandering in India, of course we had no chance to study the golden ball, and I dared not show it at all. Sa Ren is dead, if I lose the golden ball again, how can I be worthy of him? It was also at that time that I decided to go to the United States, because only in the United States, a country with highly developed science, could I find friends who would help me study this golden globe. On the way to the United States, I still couldn't leave the golden ball. I didn't have the opportunity to study the golden ball until we arrived in the United States and stayed in a friend's villa. That friend is an optical expert, and his villa is beside a big lake. There are many villas beside that big lake, but the distance between each house is quite far.
