Fortunately, I'm a Giant of Light

Zion remembered what Tamoli said when he met with Tamoli nearly a year ago, and asked.

"It always likes to talk nonsense, so don't always believe it."

Anguo replied.

"Then I wasn't cheated?"

Zion was distracted, entered the door, followed An Guo into the door, sat down, waited for him to close the door, and came to ask questions, and then suddenly thought of this.

"Are you here, what's the matter?"

An Guo didn't know what Zion was thinking, so he only asked repeatedly and carefully.

"Yes, I came for another purpose."

Zion raised his head and looked at the books all over the floor in this room, as well as the unnamed sacrificial book that was well placed in the glass coffin. His voice was low and deep:

"I mainly want to ask it, the origin of some myths. The myth of shooting the sun, the myth of flying to the moon, the myth of the flood... and now, are there any myths about the movement of galaxies?"

"If that's what you're asking, Mr. Tamoli discussed it with me before..." An Guo stood by the wall, looking towards the light, "We generally call it the 'myth of the demon star'."

Chapter 42 The Origin of Myths

With the deepening of the exploration, Zion has discovered that in this universe...all myths have their origins.

Nan Xizi, as a visitor to the earth thousands of years ago as described by the moon people, reveals the source of the myth of flying to the moon.The supernova explosion is linked to the Ordovician mass extinction and the sun-shooting myth by the memory of mitochondria.As for the most famous flood myths (Noah's Great Flood and Dayu's Flood Control, etc.), even the original world of Zion points directly to the fact that an earth-shattering flood may have occurred in the past years.

Then there should be myths about the abnormal displacement and movement of the stars.

"When Mr. Tamoli was still alive, he discussed the changes in the galaxy with me. At that time, he was a little delirious, lying lazily on the sofa, and only talked about the word 'demon star'. In human language , demon stars are generally used to refer to those... stars that move and shine abnormally and irregularly."

Anguo recalled.

"He said that all myths have origins... Myths are the unconscious summation of human understanding of the natural world throughout the ages... This is not Mr. Tamoli's point of view, but he said that based on his experience, he believes in this point of view the most. He said that everything humans create reflects the human unconscious."

Zion listened silently, looked around, and asked Anguo:

"Did he say anything to the demon star?"

The originally empty room is now full of old books and classics that should have been on the shelves of the above-ground library, and the more precious ones are in boxes.The ones that didn't look very precious were piled on the ground like bricks.

Every room that stores special items such as the Unnamed Sacrificial Book and the Complete Book of Demons is well insulated and locked. In the deep and deep place under the library, only a few people have the qualifications to enter and exit.

"He called me and a few other students to read a lot of books. It was playing with wool balls in the back... There are many records about demon stars in the human world, and you can also find them on the Internet. But the ancient records are actually more The most abundant among them should be the Alexandrian library in the third century BC, but the Alexandrian library was burned down within a few years. Tamori often talks about this because it is very strange... and almost The 'Book Burning' of the same period was also very weird."

More than 2000 years ago, the human world experienced a revolution in thought.What can still be famous today is the philosophy of various schools of thought and ancient Greece.

But the strange thing is that after all the schools of thought, Qin Shihuang, the highest emperor in the eastern world at that time, ordered the burning of books, among which most of them were remote and weird historical records books of the ancestors, books of all kinds of strange alchemists, and other books that had been destroyed. Tome of a thinker unknown to modern man.

There is often nothing new under the sun.Things in the world are mostly coincidental. After the Western world experienced the magnificence of ancient Greece, Alexander the Great asked his general Ptolemy to build a library to collect all the books in the world and realize the knowledge of the world. summary.

Through the means of plundering and looting by the kings of the past, the Alexandria Library can be said to be the core of the most magnificent knowledge in the history of mankind at that time and even most of the human history. It is enough to be called the greatest library in the history of mankind...

As a result, in 48 BC, a fire destroyed most of the library of Alexandria.Every few dynasties, it seems that the gods disliked this library of human intelligence and did not burn it clean, and ordered several fires to completely destroy it, causing countless ancient thoughts and knowledge to be lost since then.

On the contrary, there are many lost jewels left in the adjacent Arabian region, which performed a "export to domestic sales" around the middle ages, which amazed the scholars of Europe under the rule of Christianity.

"Tamoli said at the time that many records about the 'Demon Star' and other myths that modern people rarely know were lost in the two book burnings."

Anguo's knowledge in this area is very in-depth.He was on the computer, operating non-stop, searching, and when he found the purpose, he began to search hard in the vast mountain of books.After searching for a while, I went to the computer again.

Zion remembered that Tamoli had said that this was because of the many manuscripts in ancient times.And there are many hidden annotations in the printed books that are not known by the owners of the past dynasties.

This is the extra value of past books.

Some manuscripts are so fragile that they are still kept in boxes today.Fortunately, most of them have been scanned and entered into the electronic system in the form of picture files, but the problem lies in the manuscripts and annotations of the same book in the past, ranging from five or six copies to as many as seventy or eighty. Most of the time, one or two annotations are added to the title of a book to distinguish each other. Non-bowen reporters really can't distinguish.

"I found it. The ancient Shenzhou Kingdom has the most information on astronomical phenomena."

Anguo breathed a sigh of relief, clicked on the books in the electronic collection, recalled the past with nostalgia, and talked about its history:

"This is the Shu version of "Taiping Yulan". During the Qing Dynasty, it was looted by He Guo, and the fragments were hidden in Tofuku Temple in Kyoto. Mr. Tamori made the decision and negotiated with the He Guo government more than ten years ago. The fragments of this ancient book were bought, stored in our place, and made into picture materials. Later, TPC Shenzhou came to negotiate with us, and we traded it at a low price and sold it back to them.”

Taiping Yulan is also a treasure house of wisdom with a long history, which can be traced back to a feudal dynasty in East Asia more than 1000 years ago.At that time, the emperor ordered that the books of the world should be collected and collected by category, so there was Taiping Yulan.Many sentences in Taiping Yulan refer to materials from ancient books that have been lost in contemporary times.

On the screen displayed by Anguo, the pictures on each page are full of records about the monster star.

"In ancient times, many human beings used astrology as metaphysics. For example, a comet suddenly crossed the sky, which is a different metaphysics. People who hate the times say it is a disaster, and those who love the times say it is a good omen. Wait until something good or bad happens. , Going back to the past, and connecting with the strange phenomenon before, it becomes mysterious again."

Anguo used his thinking.

Zion said nothing, just scanned the screen word by word.

Here is a collection of texts from many ancient books that have been lost in modern times.

"But these demon stars are all comets, right?"

In ancient East Asia, comets were called ghost stars, and because these stars dragged their long tails and moved in the sky, they were also called broom stars, and comets were regarded as ominous signs.

Anguo only said:

"Before Mr. Tamori completely forgot that he was human, he once said that maybe we will soon discover a new comet..."

In this way, Zion suddenly remembered a fact:

"The fifth visitor previously recorded by the TPC...is a life form that looks like a comet." And it conflicted with the fish-like near-spherical life forms of Neptune and Uranus.Then it continued to travel around the solar system.

For a moment, I have a lot of thoughts.

But they obviously don't have much direct connection with the spiral galaxy... On the contrary, like other alien species, they were probably driven into the solar system for asylum.

Anguo turned to the next page and quietly introduced:

"The content of the Jin Shu was quoted in the Taiping Yulan. The astronomical annals of the Jin Shu are rich in writings. The astronomy of East Asia is much faster than that of ancient Europa. They are very remarkable... as early as 2000 years ago, they clearly distinguished many astronomical phenomena. It’s clear. They say that there are 21 kinds of demon stars, among which comets, stars, slanders, five remnants, six thieves, Xunshi, etc. may be the names of different comets... and some are like guest stars (supernova) However, according to our current astronomical knowledge, if it is a comet, then the comet should appear periodically."

For example, the famous Halley's Comet appears every 76 years.

"With the loss of classics, we can't confirm whether the demon stars recorded in some ancient books have appeared many times. But many recorded demon stars... have no records in the past 1000 years."

Zion saw that there was an electronic comment that he caught up with later, which was added by Anguo, saying that Zizhi Tongjian's "Autumn, see you at the stars and day" can also be regarded as a record of a demon star, which has a high probability of flying over with the Chaos virus related to the earth's sky.

"Tamoli and you were thinking at the time that humans have recorded many astronomical phenomena of abnormal celestial bodies. In fact... can't they be simply classified?"

After a long time, An Guo replied:

"Yes...the records in the books are in the books. After all, we can't see the sky in the past. We still don't know what kind of celestial phenomena those ancient people saw, and why they left behind the myth about the 'demon star' .Those stars that suddenly appeared in the sky, some with tails, some without tails, and then disappeared suddenly...what did they exist for?"

"During the Han Dynasty, there was a knowledge called Divination, which was the same as Western astrology and metaphysics. Weishu is also very special in the East Asian cultural circle, most of which are prophecies based on various astronomical phenomena. Taiping Yulan mentioned a strange book called "Shangshu Emperor's Destiny", which was the most famous astrological prophecy book 2000 years ago. It vaguely mentioned that one day, the stars in the sky will change and become brand new. And the 'Jade Crossbow', which may be another nickname for a comet, will pierce the sky and become a harbinger of a complete change in this world."

Zion saw the nine black and white characters on the screen carved into the bones:

The sky beats, and the jade crossbow shoots out, shocking the world.

This is already recorded in the Han Dynasty.

Anguo continued to flip through the Taiping Yulan, pointing to a strange quotation:

"The breakthrough point of Tamoli and I was in the Mingji of Hanwu Cave. It is said that it was written by an immortal person. It is mainly a collection of relics. The main body of this volume has disappeared with a fire in the Han Dynasty. There are only references to it in some Taiping Yulan, and its quotations also quote "Shangshu Dimingshi". This combined description reminded Tamoli of another prophecy book. He was very surprised at the time ... muttering that it looks like it! How could it be?"

As he talked, An Guo smiled, and it was obvious that he missed that time very much.

"Another prophetic book written by humans?"

"Yes."

I don't know when, the whole underground is extraordinarily gloomy.

"The first thing I want to say is that the other book of prophecy was written by an Englishman who never traveled to East Asia in his life."

Anguo narrowed his eyes and took a deep breath.

"The book is called the Revelation of Glaakia, and its fifth book is the Astronomical Book, and it deals with those things about astronomy and the positions of the stars. The book says... that the stars that lighted the morning of Bethlehem at the birth of Christ were already Predetermined the end of this world. And it has a sentence that has been repeated many times in different contexts and languages, even in the Nakt manuscripts that we have confirmed as translating the information of ancient stone tablets... and here It’s covered in this book.”

The lights were still on.

And both stood in the shadows.

Anguo looked at the nameless sacrificial book placed in a vacuum in the thick glass, and said the four words that made him sleepless:

"—The stars return."

"The stars... return to their place?"

Zion chewed the word, remembering some sentences he had seen in his previous life.

"But what about the stars? I thought it meant that there are other star clusters in the Milky Way. With the rotation and revolution of the earth, they slowly change... change until they reach a certain shape. But Tamori said no, it asked me Have you forgotten... anomalous spiral galaxies? It's not just about the Milky Way itself."

Anguo also heard from the council that all the stars around the sun were blown up.

Doesn't that mean--

Now in the sky, all the stars are dead.

On the contrary, the abnormal spiral galaxy... is the most complete, and it is approaching the big Milky Way without stopping, without stopping, at an incredible speed.

Anguo turned his head and said:

"Maybe this has already happened ... and it's coming soon."

When the abnormal spiral galaxy comes to its proper position and stops its footsteps...is it the moment when the stars return to their place.

Even any moment, anytime could come...

Because its arrival may be the same as the speed of light.

For it has arrived with the light before men can see it in advance by the light.This is a guess that is enough to make everyone sleepless.

"Maybe, it's already outside the Oort cloud..."

He looked at Zion, hoping that Zion could explain all this, but this giant of light couldn't predict all this, so he only said slowly:

"I've figured it out, thank you."

"I am very honored."

Anguo hurriedly bowed and said.

Zion asked again:

"Finally, I have a question, where is Tamori buried?"

Anguo was a little surprised, but thinking of the previous scenes, and thinking that they might be friends, he wasn't surprised.Putting on his protective helmet, he led Lucian back the same way, and soon came to a garden next to the original library attached to Miskatonic University.

There stands a stone monument.
