- Another story?
Liu Mengchao's brows frowned slightly. He felt a little bored now, let alone listening to the old man in front of him telling stories, so he curled his lips and refused Hoffenheim's proposal.
"I don't think there is any need to talk about stories or anything like that?" Liu Mengchao grinned and said with a smile, "The so-called stories are just the repetition of history. In other words, what is happening now may be Things that have happened in the past.¡±
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Very smart?
Hearing Liu Mengchao¡¯s words, Hoffenheim couldn¡¯t help but nodded slightly. He does feel this way, or Liu Mengchao's words are indeed true. ,
What happened in the past is happening again, and history is being played out again and again. Thinking about what had happened in the past, Hoffenheim nodded involuntarily.
"The past is a very distant term." Hoffenheim said slowly, straightened up and said to Liu Mengchao, "Do you know the origin of the alchemist?"
The origin of the alchemist?
Although Liu Mengchao is not familiar with this world, he has read some books about the origin of alchemy. According to ancient legends, there was a man called the Sage of the West who spread alchemy to this country, and people learned alchemy only after that.
"The story of the wise man of the west?"
Liu Mengchao raised his eyebrows, then laughed.
"Yes, it's the story of the Sage of the West. If you head east from the center of this country, you will reach a land entirely of desert. There are legends that this place turned out to be an extremely developed ancient country called Xerxes.¡±
"The name is really long." Liu Mengchao shook his head gently.
"Yes, the name is very long." Hoffenheim nodded with a sarcastic smile on his face, "This story also started from that time."
"That time? When that country perished?"
"Yeah." Hoffenheim nodded lightly. "At that time, the sages of that country or people who studied alchemy, created the first artificial human. No, it was not so much an artificial human, but more like a little man in a bottle. Although this little man was only He can survive in a glass bottle, but he has knowledge that no one can match."
Maybe it was to strengthen his tone, maybe because the narration of the past made him fall into deep thought, Hoffenheim's tone suddenly became lower.
"The knowledge possessed by the little man in the bottle can be said to be endless. No one knows where his limit is, and no one knows how much knowledge he possesses that others do not know. If someone has seen the door of truth. Even You will suspect that this villain is the incarnation of the Door of Truth."
Incarnation?
Hearing Hoffenheim¡¯s words, Liu Mengchao instantly understood the meaning of these words. If you master knowledge that others don't know, I'm afraid this knowledge can become your own unique strength. The unknown is the source of great power.
"The so-called little man in the bottle should still be alive now, right?"
Liu Mengchao grinned and said yes.
"It is true that he is still alive." Hoffenheim nodded lightly, with an embarrassed smile on his face, "The time was too far away from now, so far away that people don't know the history of this country."
Far away?
So how long have you lived? Liu Mengchao suddenly became more interested after listening to Hoffenheim's words. A man who can talk freely in front of himself. You must have survived from that era, right?
Liu Mengchao thought like this, followed by Hoffenheim's words.
"It is precisely because the little man in the bottle has endless knowledge that people's desire also rises. At that time, the country was still an imperial country, and the king controlled everything in the country. He also owned it all."
"Except for eternal life."
Liu Mengchao's reaction was extremely sensitive, and he had already thought of the source of the problem in an instant. If a person has everything, then the next thing he wants to do is to hold it all tightly in his own hands. Nothing can take away these rights.
And time is the most powerful enemy.
"Yes, the king wanted eternal life. This was originally impossible. But because of the little man in the bottle, everything became possible again. He made his request, and the little man in the bottle agreed. he."
"It is the Philosopher's Stone"??¡±
Liu Mengchao said quickly.
"Yes." Hoffenheim nodded lightly, confirming Liu Mengchao's words, "The Philosopher's Stone. As long as all the people in the country are turned into the Philosopher's Stone, a person can live forever and gain eternal life." .¡±
"It seems that such a plan finally succeeded, but the person who lives forever is not the king." Liu Mengchao replied with a smile, "Such stories will never go out of style, because many people always feel that they can control everything. In fact, in the end, I still have nothing, I just made a beautiful wedding dress for someone else.¡±
"Interesting metaphor, it is true." Hoffenheim nodded, "But after all, there are still people in that country who survived, maybe because that person was just an insignificant slave, maybe because of that person There¡¯s a little friendship with the little man in the bottle.¡±
"and after?"
"Later, the slave became the Sage of the West and passed alchemy to this country. He traveled around the world, eager for more knowledge, and wanted to use this to spend his endless life."
"If you are just one person, endless life is a kind of prison sentence." Liu Mengchao squinted his eyes and said coldly, "You will see your good friends die one after another, and you will see the people you once liked die one after another. Then as I grow old, I see my former enemies buried in the loess, and I see all my pursuits in the past drying up into pieces of gravel over time.¡±
"So life is still too cruel." Hoffenheim sighed deeply, raised his head again, and looked at Liu Mengchao tenderly, "I think there are many things that I don't need to explain to you clearly. You who understand the dark side of this country should have the outline of the whole story by now, right?"
The outline of the entire story?
Liu Mengchao¡¯s lips curled up and he nodded gently. The reality is not an unacceptable story. On the contrary, it is simply unbelievable. In other words, such a setting makes it impossible for people to think deeply about it.
"The little man in the bottle is the father of the artificial people."
Hoffenheim listened to Liu Mengchao's words and nodded gently.
"You are that slave."
Hoffenheim nodded his head again and agreed with Liu Mengchao's words again.
"Then I think I can make this story more comprehensive." Liu Mengchao said with a smile, "The slave wandered around in this world, and finally got tired of it. No, it should be said that he was influenced by a certain person. From then on, He was freed from that state of eternal life. He now desires death extremely because the people he loves will also die. He no longer wants eternal life because he knows that eternal life has no meaning to him. "
Yes, it makes no sense at all.
Hoffenheim nodded gently, but a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes. He misses his wife very much now, but he is also extremely sad about the reality.
"Since it is meaningless, he naturally wants to end his life. It's just that human life is not like a door. It can be ended easily by pushing it open. Similarly, it cannot be easily ended by locking it up. It begins with the earth. Everything has to wait for time.¡±
"The same is true for me now." Facing Liu Mengchao's half-smiling eyes, Hoffenheim smiled and nodded, "Because I still have one thing to do now."
"whats the matter?"
"Just like you."
The same thing happened with Liu Mengchao. After hearing Hoffenheim¡¯s words, the smile on Liu Mengchao¡¯s face could no longer be suppressed. This is really a wonderful thing.
Because apart from your enemies, it is your friends who know you best.
And isn¡¯t the Hoffenheim in front of him the enemy and friend of the little man in the bottle? (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
