647 Hurried
Seeing this, the experts and Ninth Sister Ye Xue were very excited. Their breathing became hurried.
Inside the ball was a bamboo tube as thick as a pen. This bamboo tube looked ordinary. It was just an ordinary bamboo tube. It was completely gray and looked like it was about to rot.
Such an exquisite ball actually contained a bamboo tube. This did not make sense.
Therefore, Ye Xuan picked up the bamboo tube and took a look. According to ancient habits, the bamboo tube should be filled with letters. Otherwise, could it be someone’s pipe? It didn’t look like it.
Therefore, Ye Xuan grabbed the top of the bamboo tube and pulled it up. With a “ber~” sound, the lid was pulled off. There was actually a note inside the bamboo tube!
Seeing this, the experts were shocked. They did not expect there to be a note inside. It was such an exciting thing to see the information left behind by the tomb owner after thousands of years!
Ninth Sister Ye Xue was the same. She was especially excited. This was the first time she had seen a tomb owner leave a note in such a way. What was he trying to express by keeping it in such a profound ball-shaped password box? What would he tell them?
Was it some truth he had left behind? Was it some mysterious secret written for someone to see? Or was it something else?
At the thought of this, everyone was extremely nervous and curious. Ye Xuan was also extremely curious, so he looked at everyone. After getting everyone’s agreement, he took out the note, opened it, and spread it on the table.
The note was already yellowed, but the words on it were still clearly visible. Moreover, it carried the fragrance of ink and some Chinese medicinal herbs. It was obvious that special ink was used to make the words last for a thousand years.
The experts and Ninth Sister Ye Xue came over and looked at the note nervously and excitedly.
There was only one sentence written on it.
“The world is prosperous. Harmony should be the standard. I’ve spent my entire life, but I still haven’t seen peace descend into the world. However, I still have hope. When future generations see these words, my hope should be fulfilled.”
The entire sentence was written in traditional Chinese. The handwriting was neat. It was not difficult to tell that this person must have been a calligrapher when he was alive.
The meaning of the entire sentence was very simple. To put it simply, there were endless conflicts in the world. When the world was in harmony, this would be the standard of peace.
However, even after spending his entire life until his death, he did not see true peace appear. The world was still filled with conflicts. However, he was not depressed or disappointed. He still carried hope.
When this note was discovered, the harmony he had hoped for should have appeared.
Although it was good to look forward to it, and the current situation was very similar, the world was not in harmony yet. However, China had become harmonious and had entered a golden age. The people lived and worked in peace.
To this extent, his hope had indeed been realized. China was indeed peaceful.
When they saw the contents of the note, the eyes of the various experts turned red. Ninth Sister Ye Xue’s nose also turned red as tears welled up in her eyes.
When a person died, he still remembered the entire world and hoped that peace would descend so that every citizen could enjoy the peace and live a happy life.
What kind of heart was this? It had to be known that most people would not think about these things, let alone leave these things behind. Most people would think about family, their relatives, their lives, and whatnot when they passed away.
This was the most normal logic. After all, after people passed away, they would hope that their relatives and children would live well and that their parents would wait for them on the other side.
However, he did not mention a single word about his family. He only hoped that the entire world could be peaceful. He hoped that there would be peace, that he would no longer have to live in war and that he would not have to live in a miserable world.
He just wanted this and wanted everyone to live well.
He hadn’t mentioned a word about himself, let alone his sadness, his grief, or everything about him.
He just wanted everyone in the world to live a good life. He just wanted peace for the rest of their lives…
Now, his wish had been fulfilled. They hoped that he could rest in peace over there. This prosperous era had fulfilled his wish.
Although this didn’t apply to the entire world, at the very least, China achieved the initial stage of harmony. They had national heroes and great people. They could live a stable life. They would not be cold and hungry anymore. They could eat delicious food and wear warm clothes.
They were not disturbed by the war. They could have their own dreams and do whatever they liked.
They had a powerful country and powerful people. They had always been powerful. They were, they are, and they will be.
Now, they had everything. Perhaps it was fate that allowed Ye Xuan to open the ball at this moment when they had everything, and when China was harmonious.
This also allowed the disciple to see the current prosperity of the world.
They didn’t know the name of the disciple. He didn’t even leave any information about him. It was as if he was saying that as long as the country was safe and the world was harmonious, everything was enough.
Who he was was not important at all. He only needed peace in the world.
Just like the heroes and great people of China, it didn’t matter what happened to them. They didn’t care, but they couldn’t stand to see their compatriots suffer even the slightest grievance, bullying, or harm.
If there was no food, they would plant it themselves. If the land was not good enough and the production was not enough, they would improve it and study it. They wanted all the Chinese to eat their fill and not have to listen to others.
If there were no forces, they would build it. They would use an abacus on the Gobi Desert where there was nothing. They would use an abacus as to a computer and create something that could make the entire Chinese people stand tall.
Can you hear the dragon roar?
That was proof of strength. That was the confidence that all the Chinese would not kneel again.
There were also far too many deeds. These great people always had one thing in common. Even if they were not full, they would still bring food to those who needed it.
They were saving the world. In China, they were gods.
A hoe, a scythe, and faith.
On the basis of nothing, they relied on their own hands to forge everything.
With these three things, that was all.
…
“Little Friend Ye… Thank you so much. Without you, we might never have known about this. He’s a great person, really.”
Expert Chu wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and looked at Ye Xuan as he spoke. Then, he picked up the note and carefully stared at it.
The other experts were also silent and could not say a word. Ninth Sister Ye Xue stood at the side and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. When she saw that people from thousands of years ago had been running around for peace and using their potential for peace, she was extremely touched.
