Unknowingly, Fuxi and Xingyun had arrived on the ground. The sky was getting darker, Fuxi looked up at the sky, and saw that the small sun was slowly blocked by a semicircular cover, and the sunlight on the ground gradually disappeared.
Thousands of miles away, the ocean above our heads is like a dome, covering the earth. The sunlight shines on the ocean, reflecting a faint blue, just like the night sky in midsummer in my hometown, with the ripples of light like dots of stars.
This was the first dark night spent in the spaceship. There was a hint of coolness in the air, but it also carried an inexplicable tranquility.
Not far away, clusters of bonfires were gradually ignited like a prairie fire and spread, slightly illuminating the earth. The firelight danced in the night, reflecting the swaying figures beside each cluster of bonfires.
Nebula pointed to the surrounding bonfires and said: "Each bonfire is a small group. At night, unless there are other special arrangements, they usually get together to share food, sing and dance. Over there are our partners." Nebula pointed to a bonfire not far away.
I saw crowds of people around the bonfire, some were washing fruits, and the water droplets shone crystal clear under the firelight; some were preparing food, and the sound of knives chopping vegetables was intertwined with the crackle of the bonfire, making it particularly lively. The aroma of food wafts in the air, making you mouth-watering.
Xingyun patted Fuxi on the shoulder, smiled and said: "Come on, let's go there."
Fuxi nodded and followed Xingyun towards the crowd. As they approached, several people around the campfire stopped what they were doing and greeted them enthusiastically. Their faces were filled with genuine smiles and their eyes were full of kindness.
"Welcome to join us! You don't know the code name of our team? Our code name is 'Team Naqi'. From now on, you will be one of us." A tall, muscular man with dark skin spoke first with a smile; "My name is Wang Hu, just call me Xiao Hu."
"Come and sit down. Here, we are not only a team, but also a family! No need to be formal." Another woman said with a smile. Her voice was clear and sweet, like a wind chime in the night wind: "My name is Xiaohua."
Fuxi nodded awkwardly, responded to their greetings, and found a seat to sit down. Everyone talked to each other, and after greetings, everyone returned to their seats and continued to be busy.
Fuxi could feel that the enthusiasm of these people came from the heart, without any hypocrisy or purpose. This kind of pure emotion was something he had almost never experienced in the old civilization.
Xingyun sat next to Fuxi and began to introduce the members of this small group one by one. He pointed at Xiaohua and said, "Xiaohua is the veteran of our team. She has been here for tens of thousands of years and has participated in several missions to lead and purify civilization. She is currently our team leader."
Fuxi looked at Xiaohua in surprise. She looked to be in her early twenties, with a delicate face and firmness and wisdom in her eyes. He couldn't help but asked in a low voice: "Tens of thousands of years? Then isn't she already tens of thousands of years old? In our original civilization, living to be a hundred years old is considered a long life."
Nebula smiled, nodded and said, "That's right. You should know that our current bodies will never age. After coming here, in addition to daily life, our main task is to lead humans on other elementary planets to enter civilization and purify civilization. We need to participate in the completion of multiple civilization replacements before we can enter the next process. The time required for multiple civilization replacements ranges from tens of thousands of years to hundreds of thousands of years."
Fuxi was silent for a moment, frowned slightly, and asked in a low voice: "Does it take so long?"
Nebula's gaze cast into the distance, and his tone was calm and profound: "Time is indeed very long. But here, there are many ways to deal with the long time. The simplest one is to selectively put yourself into a state of complete dormancy. Not to mention hundreds of thousands of years, millions of years are just between sleeping and waking up, and you cannot feel the passage of time. But so far, no one has done this."
He paused and continued, "Time is more like a long river to us. You can choose to go down the river, or you can choose to stop on the shore. The important thing is to find the meaning of your own life."
After speaking, Xingyun pointed to the man who was cooking and introduced: "This is Xiaolong, our chef. He has superb cooking skills and has a very in-depth research on various plants and ingredients. He usually arranges the food we eat."
Xiaolong turned his head, with a gentle smile on his face, and nodded to Fuxi: "Thank you, try my cooking later to see if it suits your taste."
Fuxi responded with a polite smile and said, "It seems that I have a good meal today."
Next, Xingyun introduced Fuxi to several other members. Fuxi listened and silently wrote down everyone's name and characteristics. He gradually gained a preliminary understanding of the team and gained a sense of belonging.
Not long after, the dishes were ready and put on the table. Everyone sat together, toasted and drank. The light of the bonfire shines on everyone's face, making it look particularly warm. Fuxi picked up the wine glass and took a sip. The aroma of the wine spread in his mouth, with a hint of sweetness. The aroma was fragrant and pleasant.
Fuxi: "This wine is really delicious. I have never had such a delicious wine."
Nebula: "Of course, the wine here comes from the Brewing Association. Several senior figures in the association are among the best brewing masters in the primary civilization. After coming here, they have refined their skills for tens of thousands of years, and their skills can be said to be extremely proficient."
Fuxi: "This wine should be expensive, right?"
Nebula: "No, no, no, there is no currency here, and everything has no value. Just like this wine, as long as you like it, as long as they have it, you can get it from them at any time, and you can get it without having to exchange anything."
Fuxi: "If they don't want anything in return, then what do they do for it?"
Xingyun: "In the social group here, the greatest significance of each person's existence is how much help he can bring to everyone based on his personal ability. The more people like your work and need your help, the more honor you can bring to yourself.
In other words, those who brew these wines need people to like their wine and be willing to drink their wine for their brewing to have meaning.
We drink the wine they make and taste the fragrance of the wine. Because of our liking, what they can gain is a sense of honor and spiritual sublimation. "
Fuxi: "If this wine were placed in a primary civilization, we might not even have a chance to smell the aroma of the wine, but here we can get an unlimited supply. It's really magical."
Nebula: "Not only wine, but everything here can be shared. Everything can only reflect the value and significance of its existence if it is appreciated and needed by others and can help others.
All things outside the body are just passing clouds. The true meaning of our existence is to continuously improve our souls. "
Fuxi: "It seems that I should learn more and improve myself so that I can be able to help others."
After three rounds of drinking, Fuxi's face turned red and his eyes became a little blurry. He put down his wine glass, turned to look at Nebula, and asked with a hint of hesitation in his voice: "Can I ask you something about my past?"
Xingyun said cheerfully: "Of course, we are a family now."
Fuxi said sadly: "I would like to know about the situation of my family. I remember that a big wave swept across the land. I also lost consciousness in the big wave. I have never seen my family again since then. Do you know where they are now?"
Nebula put down her wine glass: "I don't know the specifics, but one thing is for sure - their situation will not be bad."
He paused and continued, "From several aspects, first of all, as high-dimensional life forms, we are immortal in this three-dimensional space, unless we do too much evil and are destroyed."
A glimmer of hope flashed in Fuxi's eyes, because he knew very well that his family was not evil. Fuxi asked eagerly: "Then...where could they be now?"
Nebula: "If your family members are kind-hearted and can meet the standards of the trial, they may be in two different places. The first one is the same as you, just on different spaceships, going to different places, completing different places and different tasks. The second one is entering the ANBU.
Because before, as an intelligent human being, your life ended in the purification of planetary civilizations, and the purification process involved a large number of primary civilizations, so you would be directly assigned to tasks on different planets.
If it is the end of life under normal circumstances, after passing the trial, under normal circumstances, they will be directly assigned to the original planet to complete related tasks within their own group. "
Fuxi said: "They are kind-hearted and have no disputes with others. They can definitely pass the soul trial. What kind of place are you talking about Anbu?"
Nebula said: "Anbu is a collective name for a unique group. They have the same mission as us, but the division of labor is different. As for the information about Anbu, you will not know it until you start to get in touch with the mission."
Fuxi: "Then will I have a chance to meet them again in the future?"
Xingyun said: "Of course, you have to know that we are never lonely individuals. Behind each of us is an extremely large family system. Every human being on a primary planet is an independent ethnic branch.
In the primitive civilized human society, those who can become family members already have similar kinship relationships before that.
What we are currently in is the second process. For example, just like you before, when you grow up, you will leave your family and go out on your own. However, in the end, you will return home. Although you are not a fallen leaf, you will eventually return to your roots.
When we complete the task and end the second program, we will enter the third program and continue living on the second-level civilization planet. The planets everyone goes to are not randomly assigned, but are branched according to the family system. Therefore, as long as they are not destroyed, no matter where they are now scattered, they can eventually meet. "
Fuxi's voice trembled with excitement: "Although it takes a long time, knowing that they are well is enough."
Xingyun said: "Ten thousand years at a glance, time flies. In the next few days, we will set off to the next mission planet."
Fuxi nodded. The light of the bonfire danced in the night and reflected on Fuxi's face. He raised his head and looked at the blue ocean hanging above. His heart was filled with longing for the future and he had more expectations for the future.
A little popular knowledge about Fuxi:
Behind us, there is an extremely large ethnic system, a primary planet, just like our earth, and all the humans on it are just a very small branch of this ethnic system.
This chapter introduces the "Anbu" in the second program mission. The "second program" is the stage when humans successfully pass the soul trial and participate in the task of leading the creation of primary civilization.
Interstellar civilization corresponds to the "alien" in the eyes of humans, while "Anbu" corresponds to the "gods" revered by humans. Subsequent chapters will provide an in-depth analysis of them. The network of relationships among aliens, gods, and humans will make this world extremely clear.
Next chapter: Introduce prototypes of various images of gods with human heads and animal bodies and animal heads and human bodies in ancient legends, murals, and sculptures.
