I can't help but look at the woods around me, thinking that there should be some beasts hidden in the darkness that are spying on me and Ginko Takahashi.

Takahashi Ginko carried a searchlight above his head, illuminating the road ahead very clearly.

After climbing over a mountain, I was exhausted and just about to suggest taking a rest. Ginko Takahashi suddenly turned off the searchlight and turned around quickly and made a silent gesture to me.

"Shh!"

I was stunned for a moment, then quickly covered my mouth.

After the lights went out, it took my eyes a while to adjust before I could finally barely see things in the dark.

Takahashi Ginko retreated to my side and then took my hand and moved slowly towards the side of the mountain road.

I didn't dare to say anything. The two of us were as cautious as travelers lost in the mountains who accidentally bumped into a black bear, lest the slightest disturbance could lead to death.

When they reached the boulder on the side, Takahashi Ginzi said excitedly: "Uncle, you are so lucky!"

I looked at her blankly, meaning: 'Why are you so lucky?'

Takahashi Ginko stuck his head out and looked ahead, then whispered: "You'll know in a moment."

I nodded and waited patiently.

It was already a quarter past two in the morning, which can be said to be the time when the night is at its deepest and richest.

I have already fallen asleep at this time in the past, but today I am so excited that I don’t feel sleepy at all. The majesty of the mountain forest is mixed with the freshness after the rain and the smell of dead grass. I can’t help but recall that when I was a child, I went with my friends late at night in my hometown.

Explore the light rising into the sky in the mountains.

It's just that when we walked for most of the night, the light disappeared before we could see what it was.

Later, I heard the old people talking about a group of soldiers entering the mountains. They seemed to be conducting experiments in the mountains. But I really didn't believe it... because I had never seen anyone go into the mountains before.

Just when I was lost in memories, suddenly it started to rain lightly in the forest.

The rain hits the forest leaves, but very little falls.

I subconsciously shrank and asked, "How long do we have to wait?"

Ginko Takahashi looked up at the sky, and could still vaguely see a crescent moon in the sky. Such a sight was not uncommon. When I was a child, I was completely drenched by rain in the sun, so it is normal for it to rain while the crescent moon is in the sky.

climate phenomena.

But immediately afterwards, I was speechless.

I saw that the sky seemed to have turned into a vast ocean, and at this moment I was at the bottom of the ocean.

A huge creature twisted its body and swam slowly over the woods. When its sky-blocking figure appeared in my field of vision! I blurted out two words!

"whale?!!"

As soon as the words fell, a loud, distant and profound whale song resounded throughout the mountains and fields.

I was so shocked that for a long time it was difficult to tell whether I was awake or dreaming.

After the whale appeared, Takahashi Ginko excitedly took my hand and started running wildly.

I didn't know where she was going to take me, but I just felt that it was right to follow her. The two of us soon passed through the forest and came to an open area.

From here you can see the whales swimming among the mountains more clearly.

Yes...those...I counted them.

There are ten whales, big and small.

From the outside, they look like sperm whales because of their large foreheads, but some of them look like blue whales.

They were in groups, wandering slowly in the mountains and forests, sometimes swimming very high, and sometimes clinging to the mountains and forests. Just as I was watching these whales infatuatedly, a lot of lights suddenly lit up in the mountains and forests.

At first there were just specks of stars, like fireflies twinkling in the grass.

But slowly, there was more and more light, like wildfire starting a prairie fire.

At this time, I heard Takahashi Ginko say in my ear: "It's that adult!"

Who is that adult? I was stunned for a moment, then my scalp went numb and I immediately became alert.

It’s God! Is it God?!

Is there really a god in this world?

What exactly will it look like?

Can it understand the words of us mere mortals?

Are those lights... that light... the same?

I held my breath and was so excited that my body was shaking. Takahashi Ginko suddenly held my arm and said: "Relax, uncle, that adult is very friendly. At least in my impression, she has never done anything to harm us humans.

She is like an artist, always creating many impressive works."

After hearing this, I looked at the light spreading in the mountain forest without being distracted for a moment, and asked carefully: "Those whales are also her masterpieces?"

Unexpectedly, Takahashi Ginko shook his head and said: "No, the whale is the world's response to feeling the presence of that adult."

"Response?" I blinked: "What do you mean?"

Takahashi Ginko raised his hand to catch a leaf falling from the sky and said: "The earth is alive, and the earth is also spiritual. This is not something we humans have given them, but they already have it, but it has always been very obscure.

the reality of existence.”

It is undeniable that if someone had said this to me before today, I would have felt that the person in front of me was a very emotional person, and he must have loved this land to sigh like this. But now I suddenly feel that this

It's actually very rude to sigh... It can even be said to be stupid and ignorant.

We always self-righteously glorify the supremacy of human beings in our own spiritual world, but we often forget how insignificant we are. The awakening and self-domestication of our self-awareness is actually a process of self-deception and self-satisfaction. It can even be

It is said that our brains force us to obtain physical pleasure through this kind of sighing.

But today, Takahashi Ginko told me a humble answer that may be closer to reality.

The earth is spiritual, it is alive, it is alive in a way that we have not yet fully understood, and it can respond.

Thinking of this, I suddenly understood what a whale is.

The whale symbolizes life.

In the ocean, the life and death of whales symbolize the endless life and the exuberance of life.

When it was alive, it was a fertile land for wandering. After death, it could turn into an isolated island and become a hotbed for countless lives to survive. Thinking of this, I don’t know why my eyes suddenly filled with tears.

I have feelings, a little guilt, and more of a sadness about my own powerlessness.

After g glanced at me, he suddenly smiled: "Uncle, you are so interesting. It seems that I was right to choose you."

I glanced at her inexplicably, and when I was about to ask some questions, the wind suddenly picked up.
