Mystery Makes Me Strong

Scientist Elvenda thought about it and found a way.

That is to find cases that have been entered.

Then make statistics.

Then he found that some pure men and women can enter.

This gave him an idea.

So he began to disguise himself and make himself very clean.

He even almost castrated himself...

Finally, he was stopped by his housekeeper, who offered his son Little John.

Little John and Elvenda entered the fog again.

This time, they were lucky.

They passed through layers of fog, as if they had passed through the barrier of time, and came to a mysterious village hidden on the edge of the world.

The beautiful scenery here is like a medieval painting, quiet and harmonious, in sharp contrast to the hustle and bustle of the outside world.

The village is located in a verdant valley, surrounded by towering mountains, as if it is the most careful protection of nature.

A clear stream flows slowly through the valley, and the stream water flashes silver light under the sunlight, like a flowing crystal belt.

Little John and Darwin were shocked.

They came from the Industrial Revolution.

At this time, the outside world was full of black smoke and stinking water, and there were a large number of coal factories.

Of course, to be honest, it was the pollution of coal that gave plants and forests a breath of relief.

People found that cutting trees for firewood was far less economical than buying coal.

At this time.

The architecture of the village retains the medieval style, with stone houses scattered in an orderly manner and thick thatched roofs, which looks simple and warm.

Each house is carefully maintained, with green vines climbing on the walls and hand-woven curtains hanging on the windows, swaying gently in the wind.

The villagers live a slow and peaceful pace of life, and they do not need to face the pressure and competition of the outside world.

Here, time seems to be stagnant, and the years have left no trace on their faces. They are immortal and enjoy eternal youth.

Children grow up in this paradise, they do not need to go to school, do not need to face exams and competition.

Their "classroom" is this vast field and forest, where they learn the wisdom of nature and the true meaning of life.

They just need to learn to do simple farm work with their parents.

Because it is easy to harvest here.

Little John and Darwin looked down.

The villagers' daily life is to do farm work. They cultivate the fields, grow wheat and vegetables, and raise poultry and livestock.

Their work is not hard.

Everyone's face is filled with a satisfied and happy smile.

They know that their labor is the cornerstone of the prosperity of this land.

Even if it is not very hard, they can get enough food.

For farmers, the biggest problem is illness and aging.

Without these two things, self-sufficiency is easy to achieve.

Many farmers go bankrupt because of aging and illness.

The village is a harmonious community. The villagers help each other and jointly maintain this paradise.

Their lives are simple and fulfilling, without complicated social relations and intrigues. There is no power struggle. Here, everyone is equal and everyone is a member of this big family.

Elvenda stood at the entrance of the village, his eyes were attracted by the beautiful scenery in front of him, and his heart was moved by the tranquility of this land.

He knew that he had found a corner forgotten by the world, a real paradise.

Elvenda began to think.

How did they do it?

Can the outside world replicate the situation here?

He decided to stay here for a while and experience the lives of the villagers. Perhaps he could find some answers from here.

Scientist Elvenda stood in the central square of the village, surrounded by a peaceful pastoral scenery.

And little John had been attracted by a beautiful girl early on.

He was going to date the girl, of course, on the premise that he had to beat William, the strongest man in the village.

The two were going to compete in ten items.

Here, they were not competing for money, but for strength, wisdom, swimming, climbing...

Darwin's eyes swept across the ancient stone houses and finally stopped on the face of Edmund, the elder of the village.

Although Edmund's face was full of traces of time, his eyes were extremely clear, as if he could see through all the secrets of the world.

"How did you do it?" Elvenda finally couldn't help asking, with a hint of curiosity and desire in his voice that was hard to conceal.

"Everyone here stays young and healthy, which is completely against the laws of nature."

Edmund smiled slightly, and a glimmer of wisdom flashed in his eyes. "It's no secret, young scientist."

He said slowly, "We can maintain this state because we follow an ancient way of life."

Edmund took Elvenda through the village and came to a well-tended orchard. The fruit trees were full of heavy fruits, and the air was filled with a faint fruity fragrance.

"Our diet is simple and pure," Edmund explained, "We only eat food that grows naturally on this land, without adding any chemicals."

Darwin was thoughtful.

He felt that the other party was insulting his brain.

But he had to believe it.

Maybe there was something in the other party's fruit.

They continued to move forward and came to a vast field.

The villagers were working in the fields, their faces filled with satisfied and happy smiles.

"We live in harmony with nature," Edmund continued, "We respect every piece of land, every tree, every life. We don't destroy nature, and nature won't hurt us."

Elvenda's eyes swept across the faces of the villagers one by one, and he found that there was a special calmness in everyone's eyes.

"The tranquility of the mind is also the key," Edmund seemed to see Elvenda's doubts, "We are not disturbed by the outside world, and we are not driven by desire. Our hearts have gained real peace."

As night fell, Edmund took Elvenda to a secret holy place in the village. There was a spring in the center of the holy place, the spring water was clear and a few petals floated on the water.

"This is the spring of life in our village," Edmund's voice became solemn, "Every full moon night, we will hold a ceremony here to thank nature for its gift."

So that's it.

Darwin thought to himself, I was almost deceived by you, old guy.

As Elvenda stared at the spring, he could feel a mysterious force flowing in the air. He knew that the spring must be hiding some unknown secret.

In the following days, Elvenda began to study the village environment in detail. He tested the soil, water sources, and even analyzed the villagers' eating habits.

He found that everything here was completely different from the outside world, as if it was another world.

Finally, Edmund revealed an astonishing truth to Elvenda.

"Our ancestors once signed a contract with the two guardian spirits of this land," Edmund's voice was low and mysterious, "We promised to protect this land forever, and the guardian spirits gave us eternal life."

A complex emotion surged in Elvenda's heart.

He suddenly felt greedy.

If he caught these two original guardian spirits, he would have the ability to be immortal.

After going out, he could also become a guest of the king and nobles.

Even become an eternal legend in the scientific community.

These scenes made him very excited.

However, he needed to know whether this eternal state had a price.

He thought of the captains who went out to sea to find the Fountain of Youth.

This doubt appeared in Elvenda's mind.

The residents of this village enjoy the eternal state of immortality. Deep in his heart, there is always a voice reminding him that nothing is perfect, and there must be a price behind eternity.

Elder Edmund seemed to be aware of Elvenda's doubts, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.

"Our ancestors signed a contract with the guardian spirit and obtained eternal life, but" there was a hint of hesitation in his words, as if he was weighing whether to reveal more secrets.

Elvenda's curiosity was completely ignited, and he asked eagerly: "But what? Is there any unknown price behind this?"

Edmund was silent for a while, then nodded slowly. "Yes, eternity is not without price. Although we will not grow old, our lives have also lost some possibilities."

Edmund took Elvenda to the village cemetery, where the ancestors of the village rest. Although they have eternal life.

But every once in a while, one person in the village will choose to sleep here forever. This is an agreement between them and the guardian spirit.

"We can't increase the population endlessly, otherwise this land will not be able to bear us." Edmund explained, "So, every once in a while, one of us will voluntarily choose to leave to maintain the balance of the village."

In addition to the limitation of life, the villagers' minds are also bound in some way.

They can't leave this land. Once they cross the border of the village, they will age quickly and lose their eternal life.

This bondage restricts their lives to this valley.

"Our lives are closely connected to this land. We can't explore the world as freely as people outside." There is a hint of sadness in Edmund's voice. "Our world is small, but we have learned to cherish it."

Elvenda began to understand that the price of this eternal state is the limitation of choice and the sacrifice of Ziyou.

Although the villagers have immortal bodies, they have lost the opportunity to explore the unknown world, and their lives are fixed on this land.

"This is a choice. We chose stability and eternity and gave up change and adventure." Edmund said, "Every choice has its price, and this is what we are willing to bear."

Elvenda stood in front of the cemetery.

His greed was temporarily curbed.

Because it was obvious that the price was high.

And it was not easy to achieve, especially the guardian spirits. Do they still exist?

How to find them?

And being confined to one place, I am afraid that it is not easy for people outside to enjoy this secret.

He decided to continue investigating.

In the following days, Elvenda continued to explore and learn in the village. He began to record everything here, from the daily life of the villagers to their spiritual state.

He knew that these discoveries could have a profound impact on the human society outside.

As Elvenda's days in the village passed, he gradually integrated into this peaceful community.

However, as time went on, he began to notice some unusual signs.

Although the villagers are harmonious on the surface, there are always some whispers and legends about the "wise man" in private.

The wise man is the guardian of the village. It is said that he has the ability to communicate with the guardian spirit.

He lives in a lonely tower on the edge of the village, and few people have seen his true face. Elvenda's curiosity drives him to find out.

One night, Elvenda quietly came to the tower.

Under the moonlight, the shadow of the tower was very long, giving people a gloomy feeling. He took a deep breath and pushed open the door of the tower.

The interior of the tower was filled with various ancient books and scrolls, and the air was filled with an ancient atmosphere.

In the center of the room, a white-haired old man was sitting at a wooden table, with an open book in front of him, and the words in the book were shining with strange light.

"You are here, young scientist." The wise man's voice was hoarse and low, he did not look up, as if he had known Elvenda's arrival.

Elvenda asked in surprise, "Did you know I would come?"

The wise man smiled slightly, and his eyes revealed a deep wisdom. "I know a lot of things, including the doubts in your heart."

Under the guidance of the wise man, Elvenda began to understand another secret of the village.

It turned out that the so-called "restriction" was not a natural law, but a lie created by the wise man to maintain his power.

The wise man was able to communicate with the guardian spirit, and he did not allow others to do the same.

"Those who so-called 'voluntary' departure are actually people who pose a threat to me." There was a hint of coldness in the wise man's voice, "They discovered my secret, so they must be 'sacrificed'."

A surge of anger surged in Elvenda's heart, and he could not accept this fact. "How could you do this? They are your compatriots!"

A trace of sadness flashed in the eyes of the wise man. "I hesitated, but in order to protect this village, I had to make a choice."

As the wise man told the story, Elvenda learned that the village was facing a huge crisis. The forces outside have noticed this paradise, and they are eager to get the secrets here at all costs. "

"In addition, some people began to want and want. "

"They are too greedy!"

"It is not enough for them to have immortality, they also try to ask the guardian spirit to give them more, so that they can go outside and enjoy wealth and glory."

"If I don't control them and kill them, once the guardian spirit opens the exit, the outside forces will invade and the village will perish."

The wise man's voice was helpless, "I must keep the village stable until a solution is found."

Erwenda stood at the window of the tower, looking at the quiet village. His heart was full of contradictions and struggles.

He knew that he had to make a choice, whether to reveal the secret of the wise man or help him protect the village.

"What are you going to do?" The wise man's voice sounded behind him.

Erwenda turned around, his eyes flashing with determination. "I will help you, but we must find a better way. "

In the following days, Erwenda and the wise man worked together to try to find a way to protect the village without sacrificing the villagers.

Finally, they found a way.

That is to communicate with the guardian spirit again.

Ask for guidance.

On the night of the full moon, they held this ceremony to pray for protection from the guardian spirit.

The voice of the guardian spirit echoed in the night sky.

Xiao Huan appeared.

"It is indeed a group of greedy fools."

"You are always like this."

"It is obviously a good life like this, but you are still not satisfied."

"Really, you deserve to die."

Xiao Huan said angrily.

The wise man knelt humbly on the ground.

"Respected guardian, thank you for your gift to us."

"I will drive away the few greedy people."

"Very good, so be it, I agree to your request."

"Those who want to leave can leave, but after leaving, they will lose the ability to live forever. Tell them that if they want wealth, they should get it themselves. ”

“Let the villagers decide their own future.”

With the promise of the guardian spirit, the villagers began to realize that they had been deceived.

They gathered together to discuss the future of the village.

“We can no longer be bound by fear and lies.” A villager stood up, his voice firm and powerful, “We must decide our own destiny. "

Elvenda stood in the crowd, his heart full of ridicule.

Stupid guy, do you really think the outside world is a good place?

Children go into chimneys at the age of six and die painfully at the age of eleven.

Adults have to work eighteen hours a day and can't survive more than three years in the factory.

These naive guys are too well spoiled by the land given by God.

They should really know what hard work is like.

Some people decided to leave.

They think immortality is good, but it would be better if they could experience the fresh life outside.

Little John also brought new things from the outside world.

Such as football, newspapers, war, beauties, and even movies...

Some young men and women are going to go out with him.

After thinking about it, Elvenda decided not to leave.

Because he knew that he could not come back after going out.

And it is also difficult to grab the power of the guardian spirit.

Because he hasn't figured it out yet.
