Sun and Moon Are Wrong: Traveling Through Time from Under One Person

Chapter 192 Veteran

I told my parents the news about Baiyao City, but they both opposed it.

They both said that the money the family had saved with great difficulty should be left for me to use for my studies.

Moreover, they did not believe that there was really a city in the world that could cure paralysis like their father's, or that there was really a doctor who would treat patients for free.

I was scolded back, but this idea was like a flame burning in my heart, burning more and more fiercely.

But unfortunately, my father's treatment requires our whole family to go to Baiyao City. My will cannot change my parents' minds. I need someone, someone who can convince them.

I found the head of our village, Chen Jindao, an elder with a red star on his chest.

My parents trust Chen Jindao's words the most and listen to his advice the most.

I asked Chen Jindao whether the Baiyao City that the itinerant doctor described was real.

Chen Jindao said that what the itinerant doctor said was true, that Baiyao City had existed for more than a thousand years, and the rules had been established since Bai Tianren was middle-aged, which was nearly a hundred years ago. However, he did not know whether the paralytic could really stand up again.

A hundred years? Is there really anyone in the world who can live over a hundred years?

The oldest person in our village so far is Chen Jindao standing in front of us, but he is only about 80 years old.

Chen Jindao told me that the life span of ordinary people is indeed only about 100 years, but if the person is seeking the Dharma, the life span will be longer, up to 200 years. He also heard that a few decades ago, a legend suddenly appeared and created a method that can make people immortal, which caused a sensation.

Those who seek the Dharma, I have heard about their legends when I was selling firewood in the past. It is said that each of them can move mountains and fill the sea, and is omnipotent.

But these big shots have no intersection with my life, and I have no interest in how long they can live.

I just want to take my father to Baiyao City for treatment. Since Baiyao City does exist, I will go there anyway to give it a try.

I persuaded Chen Jindao to convince my parents for me, and he agreed readily. He also said that my parents had asked him to find a school for me some time ago.

He originally wanted to send me directly to an ordinary school, but when he heard from other villagers that I was incredibly strong, he felt that I might have the qualifications to be a seeker of Dharma.

So he decided to observe me for a while, and send me to a specialized school after he was sure of my qualifications as a seeker of Dharma.

But now that I have both the filial piety and the courage and qualifications, I might as well just save my reputation.

Regardless of whether I have the qualifications to be a Dharma seeker or not, he would give me an opportunity. He also said that people with strong personalities like me have strong wills and there is a high possibility that I have the qualifications to be a Dharma seeker.

Haha, maybe there will really be a seeker of Dharma in their Chenjia Village.

Chen Jindao convinced my parents, and not only that, he also bought tickets for our family to Baiyao City.

After packing our bags and getting on Chen Jindao's donkey cart, our family started heading to the county station.

This was the first time in my life that I walked out of the mountains where Chenjia Village was located, and everything was so new to me.

Houses are neatly built with bricks and tiles instead of mud and straw. Clean and smooth roads are paved with black asphalt, and the railway tracks are suspended in the sky, shining silver, and the trains are constantly emitting golden light.

At this moment, I realized that the world is so big, not just a small mountain village.

Chen Jindao pointed to the golden train in the sky and told us that it was the vehicle we were about to take, called Dongfeng 19.

It will take us across the continents of Africa, Europe and Asia, a total of 9600 kilometers, and it will take 20 days to reach the destination, Baiyao City.

He also saw our confusion and embarrassment, and told us with a smile not to be afraid, and that he would accompany us the whole way.

Haha, thinking back now, this memory is still extremely clear, and the shock still fills my mind. That was the first time I saw this great and beautiful world.

I saw herds of zebras and antelopes running on the grassland, and lions and cheetahs lurking in the grass waiting for the opportunity to hunt.

I also saw the endless sea, with whales as tall as giant mountains dancing on the surface of the sea.

There are also endless golden sands, beautiful buildings that you can't even imagine in your dreams, and a terrifying cavity in the middle of a thousand-meter-high iceberg.

Chen Jindao told me that the train under my feet, the city in the sky, the water city underground, the oasis in the yellow sand, and the terrifying hole were all the work of a person with supernatural powers.

Only then did I understand that what adults often say about destroying the world and moving mountains and filling the sea may not be an exaggeration, but just a simple description.

I asked myself, will I be able to do something like this in the future? Will I also be able to become a Dharma seeker?

Chen Jindao did not answer my question directly. He said that a great man once said something.

As long as the will is strong enough, it can bring about all miracles. He believed that I could do it, and he also said that he saw the shadows of many old friends in me.

These twenty days seemed like a dream, but what really made me crazy was the end of this station, Baiyao City.

This city is like a miracle, beyond anything I have ever seen. No matter how many times I see it, it feels like a legend from a fairy tale.

Baiyao City is divided into three floors: upper, middle and lower. The first floor is on the ground. It is extremely dreamy and beautiful. The whole city is built on a giant tree that blocks out the sky.

Each branch of the giant tree is a high-rise building. The branches are staggered in an orderly manner, forming unique buildings. These buildings have been integrated with many modern elements by the people in the city.

Dreamy and sacred, ancient and modern, nature and technology are perfectly integrated here.

The second floor was floating in the white clouds above the giant trees. Looking up from the bottom of the train, I could only see a vague shadow, just like the place where gods live in myths and legends.

The conductor introduced that the second floor is the school for those seeking Dharma, and is also the location of the headquarters of the Wanfa Academy. It is the holy place and heaven in the minds of those seeking Dharma.

Only those who seek the Dharma can reach the middle level of supernatural powers before they are qualified to move on to further study.

If we want to visit, we need to enter Baiyao City and take the ladder to get there.

The flight attendant said that the third floor was not within the earth, and she pointed above her head.

On the outside of the earth, right above Baiyao City, there is a large sphere shining with white light. During the day, it looks like a huge round light bulb. This is the third layer.

It is a realm created by Dharma and technology, and is the front line for Dharma seekers and scientists to study the universe.

It is the beacon of civilization and the cradle of all things and technology, where countless great ideas and technologies were born.

If passengers want to visit, they need to go to Baiyao City and take the space elevator, but the current number of reservations has been scheduled for seven years later.

The train drove along the branches of the trees into Baiyao City. I saw countless passengers kneeling down and praying the moment they arrived, with extremely pious expressions.

My parents also asked me to follow their example and kneel down to worship.

I can understand them. It is the instinct of every living being to witness greatness and submit to it.

But just when I was about to kneel down, Chen Jindao pulled me up.

He told me that he didn’t mind if other people kneeled down, but not our family.

He said that although our family was not born on this continent, we are descendants of Dayan after all.

Our ancestors went through so much trouble to break the shackles placed on our descendants, not for us to put them on ourselves in the future.

He also told me that if I really worshipped everything I saw, I should not believe, kneel down, or pray.

But we should become them, maintain them, and pass them on.

At this time, I finally couldn't help it, and I asked Chen Jindao again the question that I had been asking on the way but he had been avoiding.

That is exactly what he did before he came to our village.

He looked down at the red star on his chest and gave the same answer to my question.

Just a veteran...
