When returning home, Zhang Tie's heart was beating with nervousness and excitement all the way. Zhang Tie's right hand was firmly in the pocket of his pants, for fear that the thing would run away. The moment he just picked it up, he had a startling glance. , what Zhang Tie saw was that in the middle of one part of the pyrite that had been broken in half, there was a regular-looking object that was smaller than an egg. There seemed to be beautiful patterns on that object, but for that piece The pyrite was smashed to the ground and cracked. No one could find that there was something wrapped in the pyrite. That thing was not naturally formed at first glance, and how many years of geological time did it take for the pyrite to form? Zhang Tie I guess it will take hundreds of millions of years anyway. There is something in the pyrite hundreds of millions of years ago...
Hundreds of millions of years ago…
Unnaturally occurring items…
That beautiful pattern…
When these information points appeared in Zhang Tie's mind, Zhang Tie felt that his heart suddenly stopped.
On the way home, Zhang Tie could maintain a normal pace at first, but when he got closer and closer to home, Zhang Tie, who could no longer suppress his excitement, started walking faster and faster, and finally completely Zhang Tie started running, but while running, Zhang Tie still had one hand in his trouser pocket, holding the piece of pyrite tightly, for fear of it falling out. Not sure if it was due to nervousness, Zhang Tie felt that the temperature of the pyrite in his hand seemed to be getting hotter and hotter.
When I got home, my mother was steaming rice wine in the kitchen. When I heard Zhang Tie's hurried footsteps, Zhang Tie's mother didn't look back, but just shouted, "The rice has been left for you. It's still hot. Eat slowly." point!"
"Mom, I ate outside!"
After saying this, Zhang Tie rushed upstairs without even eating. Today, his brother was away and the house was much cleaner. He went down the stairs to his den in the attic, closed the stairs, and inserted After closing the latch on the floor, lighting the lamp, and lowering the curtains on the windows and the double-layered wooden partitions to protect against the cold, Zhang Tie was the only one in the small space and no longer had to worry about being seen. Sitting on the bed, I gasped for air.
While panting heavily, Zhang Tie couldn't wait to take out the half piece of pyrite from his trouser pocket, put it under the light and looked at it carefully. Once he saw it, he couldn't take his eyes back...
The thing wrapped in pyrite in the middle is like a slightly smaller oval crystal egg. The surface of this crystal egg is engraved with complex and beautiful patterns and patterns. These patterns vaguely form the shape of an arch, and inside the egg Inside, you can vaguely see a shrunken sapling, which is so exquisite that it doesn't look artificial.
Two-thirds of the crystal egg has been exposed, and the remaining one-third is stuck with the remaining pyrite. Zhang Tie tried it with his hands. With a little force, Zhang Tie removed the crystal. The egg was pulled out from the cracked pyrite, revealing the whole thing. There was no yolk in the crystal egg. The "yolk" part was a small sapling, and the "white" part was flowing with a mass of something like a sapling. Something like mercury. If you look closely, the "mercury" seems to be a colorful mist of light. It is extremely beautiful. These mist of light are rotating around the small sapling, full of unspeakable mystery. Just now, it was this colorful mist of light. The faint flash under the light made Zhang Tie discover this thing.
Zhang Tie's gun skills training at noon left Zhang Tie with a few blisters on his hands. It was probably because he had been holding on to the piece of pyrite tightly as he was rushing back on the road. The edges and corners on the pyrite were picking up his hands again. Several places where the blisters were exposed were scratched. Therefore, the pyrite and the crystal egg were more or less stained with Zhang Tie's blood. The crystal egg stained with blood was somewhat unsightly. When Zhang Tie removed it with his sleeve, When wiping the blood mark on the crystal egg, Zhang Tie found out strangely that the small dark red blood mark on the crystal egg was not only not wiped off, but instead seemed to be absorbed, slowly flowing out of the crystal. The surface of the egg penetrated into the inside. Not only that, as the slight layer of blood sank into the crystal, the area became smaller and smaller, the volume became larger and larger, and slowly began to condense on the top of the crystal egg. It looked like a drop of blood. When the blood condensed, the crystal egg began to light up...
"Ah..." His hand was suddenly burned, Zhang Tie shouted, and he unconsciously let go of the crystal egg. Then Zhang Tie was stunned at the bottom of the pool. The crystal egg after Zhang Tie let go of his hand was so smooth and stable. Standing and suspended in front of the oil lamp, floating in the air, emitting a faint brilliance. Zhang Tie's eyes widened in horror and nervousness, not knowing what was happening. Then in his frightened eyes, the small drop of blood gathered at the top of the crystal egg finally took shape, and then became like a grain of sand in an hourglass. Falling towards the small sapling in the middle of the egg yolk...
The moment the blood fell, Zhang Tie suddenly felt a buzzing sound in his head, and his whole body felt as if his feet were suddenly in the air, as if he had fallen from a high altitude. Then he saw the strangely shining crystal egg turning into a beam of light and heading towards him. His head flew over, and then there was a sharp pain in the center of his eyebrows, as if something penetrated into his brain from the center of his eyebrows. Zhang Tie's eyesight went dark, and he fainted all of a sudden...
…
This faint caused Zhang Tie to completely lose consciousness...
I don't know how long it took before Zhang Tie woke up leisurely.
When Zhang Tie regained consciousness, the first thing he felt was a cold feeling on his face. The uneasy Zhang Tie was slightly frightened and didn't know what his situation was. A few seconds after his brain resumed functioning, Zhang Tie opened his eyes. When he opened his eyes, he realized that the reason why he felt cold was because his face was completely pressed against the floor beneath his feet.
Rolling his eyes, Zhang Tie worked hard to get up and sit on the window. The small lamp in the small room was still on, and the lamp oil was slightly lighter. It was estimated that it would take three or four hours. He got up and opened the window to prevent the cold. It was dark outside, and several dogs barked in the distant night, which confirmed Zhang Tie's judgment that it was late at night.
Wait... where's the crystal egg...
Zhang Tie was suddenly startled. He looked at his hands and then in the room. Except for the piece of "fool's gold" lying on the ground, there was nothing in the room. He picked up the piece of pyrite and held it in his hand. , only the smooth and round depression on the pyrite that was still clearly visible reminded Zhang Tie that everything that had just happened was true.
Could it be that... flew away...
Thinking of the last scene where he saw the crystal egg floating in the air, Zhang Tie couldn't help but think so. However, he checked the walls, doors and windows in the house. They were all intact, and there was not a single gap the size of a fly. There was no thing the size of an egg. How can you fly away? If you want to fly away, you have to leave it in the hole.
He found a mirror from the bedside drawer and looked at it for himself. Except for his face being slightly pale, there were no scars between his eyebrows. He sat on the bed in silence for a long time until his stomach rumbled like thunder. Thinking that he hadn't eaten dinner yet, Zhang Tie suddenly found that he was hungry as never before. Even if there was a cow in front of him, Zhang Tie could confidently eat it in one go.
If you don't understand the crystal egg thing, don't think about it for now. The problem now is to get something to fill your stomach quickly, otherwise if you starve to death, everything will be empty.
Without daring to make too much noise, Zhang Tie crept down the small attic stairs, holding an oil lamp, and went downstairs to the kitchen like a thief, looking for something to eat. Fortunately, the staple food for dinner last night was Boiled sweet potatoes are just as delicious when cold. There was a large plate of seven or eight boiled sweet potatoes left in the kitchen. Zhang Tie didn’t think too much and wolfed down all the boiled sweet potatoes in just a few seconds. After that, I was shocked to realize that my food intake was so ridiculous. These seven or eight boiled sweet potatoes weighed at least one kilogram. No matter how hungry I was, I could only eat half of it. What happened today? And this was not enough. After all, after eating so much food, Zhang Tie felt as if he was only half full. At the same time, he became thirsty. He drank two large gourds of water, and after three bowls of rice wine made at home, My stomach felt warm, and my body felt indescribably comfortable. It was an unprecedented experience.
After touching the lamp grass and washing up, he quietly returned to his den, took off his clothes and lay on the bed. Zhang Tie tossed and turned, but couldn't fall asleep. Finally, he decided that since he couldn't sleep, let's practice. , took a good posture and sat on the bed to breathe evenly for a moment, and was about to close his eyes and visualize the abacus in his consciousness as required by "Abacus Calculation". Suddenly, Zhang Tie found that there was more in his consciousness or in his mind. A little thing, when Zhang Tie's heart moved and he focused his energy and attention on that extra thing, that thing quickly became clear in Zhang Tie's consciousness. When he saw it clearly, Zhang Tie almost burst into tears. Manmian, the thing deep in his consciousness is the simple yet gorgeous arch he just saw on the crystal egg shell. The arch is suspended quietly in the depths of the sea of consciousness. When Zhang Tie focused his consciousness on it, , it quickly became larger and clearer in Zhang Tie’s sea of consciousness,…
It seemed... It seemed that he could go in - there seemed to be a vague voice in his heart reminding Zhang Tie. Even Zhang Tie didn't know why he had such an idea. Then Zhang Tie really looked at the simple and gorgeous arch. Said - go in!
The 15-year-old green boy didn't realize at the moment that just because of this sound, his life would never be ordinary again.
