Chapter 1: The Flying Saucer - The Boy and the Taoist

An old man watched the young man walking back and forth in front of him and admonished, "You're about to become a father, yet you still lack composure. Although this is Ah Hui's first pregnancy, since you are already at the hospital, there is no need to be afraid..." Just then, a few people glanced around by the stairs, and upon seeing the old man, they quickly called out, "... Hey... in-laws, over here!"

A few teenagers hurriedly busied themselves, then quickly ran towards the point where the meteor had fallen, flashlight in hand. As they ran, Zeng Yang fell behind the group. With a bitter expression, Zeng Yang muttered to himself, "Damn... I knew something would go wrong, but I didn't expect a meteor to actually fall. However, aside from Liu Xuegang, none of these guys have had any bad luck; that’s just too illogical! According to the calendar, today is July 13. In previous years, at this time... but aside from Liu Xuegang, none of these guys have had any bad luck; that’s just too illogical! According to the calendar, today is July 13. In previous years, at this time..."

Indeed ... he is precisely what people refer to as the "calamity" that brings misfortune to anyone who encounters him ... commonly known as the "broom star." What a momentous occasion this is! His mother endured ten months of hard labor, only to give birth to such a being!

In the evening, three young boys were gathering damp firewood in the field, while another three were laboriously using stones to hammer the tent ropes. For them, this marked the first day of their "survival experience in the wild".

On July 13, 1981, under a gloomy sky, it drizzled lightly as we then turned our attention to the next young boy, while the last one headed straight into the flying saucer

A loud crash echoed as large pieces of metal and components fell to the ground, releasing a plume of white smoke from the crack in the flying saucer. The interior of the saucer was bathed in a bright white light, making it difficult for the eyes to open.

How enormous... it looks quite frightening! Zhao Liang looked up at the towering UFO, marveling at this man-made creation, while the other boys, like curious little babies, kept touching and exploring the UFO.

Eating a pear, Zeng Yang nonchalantly said: "It doesn't matter, anyway, this time will definitely be unlucky. Perhaps there will be a heavy rain tomorrow, and everyone will have to rush back, ruining a week's worth of wilderness survival."

My father is not home again, so you can come to my house, but I won't lend you "Dragon Ball". Speaking of my grandfather, he used to be a militia squad leader and fought against bandits when he was young. I heard that a group of long-standing bandits occupied that place for a long time and had confiscated quite a bit of gold and silver jewelry. Who knows, we might still find one or two pieces?" As he spoke, Zhang Wei stuffed a slice of pear into his mouth

Westerners regard 13 as an unlucky number, yet time is frozen at 13:13:13 on July 13, 1981, a little being that arrived in the world precisely at that moment

A boy named Zhang Wei forcefully slammed a knife onto the wooden stump beneath him, and as he received a can from a classmate, he said: "My grandfather mentioned it’s about 60 kilometers. If we walk faster, we’ll arrive by tomorrow or the day after!"

Liu Buyun retrieved the canned pears he had sent out, and with a dazed expression, he gazed at the sky and said: "Yang mhetushu.com.com Ling, Wang Zheng, do you think we might be cursed by this crow's mouth, Zeng Yang, and unexpectedly be struck dead by a falling star?"

Seeing that a classmate was angry, one person quickly changed the subject and dispersed the classmates: "Oh... forget it, forget it! Let's get to work, let's get to work. Next time, if anyone goes to Sanji, it's best to bring a stone. If you find those little perverts, just give them a stone."

They saw a flicker of fire! Seven boys ran to the site where the meteor had fallen, their seven flashlights waving incessantly in the darkness. A patch of red light was burning in the distant forest, and the damp trees were engulfed in choking thick smoke.

"Are you serious?" Seeing everyone take out their treasures, Zeng Yang glared fiercely at his few close friends. The group nodded with gritted teeth, their expressions conveying a promise of support: "Don't worry, we will definitely keep our word; otherwise, we won't have sons or eyes!"

The boy named Liu Xuegang adjusted his pants and shouted angrily at his carefree classmates around him: "You know nothing! I had just finished and was about to use that branch to clean myself when that snake suddenly appeared at my feet without a sound. It’s not like this is normal; I almost got bitten by the snake, and you all are laughing for no reason!"

At this moment, Liu Xuegang put down the stone he had prepared to deal with the snake, then rubbed his hands together, removing all the dirt from his hands as he prepared to respond to the can: "It's mine now, Zhao Liang! I said, Yang Ling... Zeng Yang is the biggest jinx in our school; he said we would be unlucky, so we might just be unlucky... Well... Here you go, Old Liu, I said Old Liu, your name Liu Buyun is really hard to pronounce."

Zhang Wei stared in disbelief at the object in the distance, exclaiming, "Oh my goodness... what on earth is that thing?" Everyone was equally astonished, their mouths agape, yet they could not fathom why the object ahead appeared to resemble a plate.

A few young boys quickly jumped aside and gathered together, avoiding the small glow, watching to see what it was about to do

A young boy forcefully opened a can of fruit, took a sip, then took out a slice of sweet water pear, and subsequently passed the can to the next boy

Snake ... ... Snake ... ... ! Suddenly, a panicked voice emerged from a distance, and a boy, holding up his pants, rushed out from the nearby bushes. Upon hearing the call, all the boys put down their tasks and quickly ran over, while various makeshift tools were also grasped in their hands.

Incredible! The destructive power of the Meteor Fist must be something like this!" As they gazed at the trench carved out by the meteor, several young people were awestruck by the might of nature. The group looked at the flames still burning, moving forward along a scorched trench, gradually revealing the true form of the meteor before their eyes

Unable to personally slaughter wild animals and turn them into dinner, several heartless youths said to their frightened and overly dramatic classmate: "Liu Xuegang, what were you shouting just now? If you had kept your voice down, we could have had snake meat to eat later! I've never had snake meat before!"

Zeng Yang looked at the distant, motionless figure and said, "Who will go up to see if the other party is really dead?" Suddenly, six pairs of eyes all turned to the tallest boy among them. "Huh... why are you all looking at me? Do I have rice grains on my face?"

"I don't know..." Sheng Yang and Liu Buyun replied in unison: "But wouldn't it be clear if we just go up and take a look?"

Another boy asked, "I said, Zhang Wei, we missed all the animations this week. You need to make it up to us; your 'Dragon Ball' can serve as compensation, lend it to us! By the way... what did your grandfather do in the past? How did he know there was a Bodhisattva temple in that mountain valley?"

Covering their mouths, the crowd used branches to carve a path leading to the site where the meteor had fallen, gradually approaching the descending meteor in the sky

Ding ding ding ... ... ! '' Zhang Wei jumped onto the flying saucer and began to tap the end of his flashlight against the saucer's surface, producing a solid metallic sound from within. Zhang Wei, feeling the incredibly smooth exterior of the saucer, remarked in surprise: '' What kind of metal is this? It feels like porcelain to me! And there isn't a single screw! ''

Wang Zheng shone his flashlight on the spot where white vapor was leaking from the slope of the flying saucer, seemingly searching for a way to open it. Responding to Zhang Wei's question, he replied irritably: "Is it surprising that there are no screws? This is a flying saucer, made by aliens for traveling through the universe... Do you understand? This is made by aliens, so don't try to view it with Earthling technology... Zhang Wei, lend me your knife for a moment; let me see if I can open it."

Upon hearing such news, everyone displayed a grave expression while anxiously awaiting the reopening of the operating room door

By the time of the return of Hong Kong in 1997, the infant who had nearly cost his mother her life had grown into a young man. After finishing junior high school, to celebrate his escape from the arduous "nine-year compulsory education with fees," the young man, along with his classmates, each carrying various worn-out travel backpacks, embarked on a fashionable study trip (outdoor camping) together.

Upon arriving next to the flying saucer, several individuals began to marvel at the vessel's enormity. From a distance, it did not seem so impressive, but upon closer inspection, they discovered that the diameter of the saucer was at least 20 to 30 meters.

You go ... ... ! '' You go ... ... ! '' He goes ... ... ! '' ... ... Soon, the rough attributes of the Chinese people were displayed in the youth, and instantly the seven boys began to argue incessantly. Finally, Zhang Wei shouted loudly: '' Stop arguing, let's all go together ! ''

... ...

After chewing a few bites, the curious youth asked a boy who was playing with a knife: "Zhang Wei, it seems we have walked nearly 20 kilometers today, right? So how much longer until we reach that dilapidated temple you mentioned?"

The elderly man shook his head, and his companion beside him said: "I mentioned this morning that mhetushu.com had some activity, but now it still hasn't been born. The doctor said it might be a difficult delivery, and if necessary, a cesarean section will be performed..."

It appears that the situation of this flying saucer is not very good; one corner of the cold metallic saucer has already cracked open, revealing various parts and fragments inside. "Hiss... Hiss!" A series of thunderous explosions continuously erupt from the crack, accompanied by an unknown liquid dripping in the flashes of lightning. On the other side of the saucer, white smoke is continuously leaking from the fine cracks in the damaged saucer.

Although hospitals are places for saving lives, the Grim Reaper always seems to pay a visit, casually taking away one or two unfortunate souls. Upon entering the hospital, one is immediately struck by the overwhelming scent of disinfectant alcohol, evoking images of blood-stained white sheets, sharp surgical knives, forceps clamped with cotton, and formaldehyde baths containing corpses.

Zhang Wei looked at the feigning fool, Zeng Yang, and said in an annoyed tone: "Let's have a democratic vote by raising hands now, to let this guy Zeng Yang go out and explore. Those in favor, please raise your hands." Instantly, six arms were raised. Zhang Wei immediately spoke in a commanding tone: "Six to one, eighty percent agree for you to go and explore, the minority must obey the majority"

Zhao Liang: "The few volumes of 'Ranma' that you liked are also for you"

The figure was completely obscured by the intense light inside the flying saucer, making it impossible to discern its appearance. The alien staggered a few steps before stepping into thin air and falling directly from the saucer. At the same time, everyone saw a small light point fly out from the alien and then disappear into the distance

Yang Ling: "I will give you all of my "City Hunter" as well."

All the youths had a look of disdain on their faces

Time flies like an arrow; the little disaster star gradually grows up, attending the National Kindergarten, the National Primary School, and the National Junior High School. Just like all normal children, in the blink of an eye, 16 years have passed, during which time, they have also brought misfortune to their parents for 16 years

The questioning youth patted his drowsy companion beside him and casually handed over the can he had just received, saying: "I say, Zeng Yang, did you not sleep well today? Why do you look so listless..."

Liu Xuegang: "How about I invite you to play arcade games for a week? I will spend 5 yuan to buy tokens and cover the latest 97 Fighting King at the south side of the street. What do you think?"

Zeng Yang looked at these ungrateful fellows, about to curse, when Zhang Wei immediately interjected: "... why don't you go take a look! If not, when we get back, I'll pack up all my collection of 'Dragon Ball' for you, how about that?"

Liu Buyun: "My black game console (Sega 16-bit game console) is for you!"

Zeng Yang glanced at the other person and rolled his eyes, saying: "I said Yang Ling, you say it lightly. If Xiao Gang had been bitten on the butt just now, we would have to rush to save him overnight. Plans change faster than... who knows what we will encounter next."

UFO... is a UFO, we have discovered a UFO, it is a flying saucer. ... it is a flying saucer. Wang Zheng, Yang Ling, Zhao Liang ... brothers, we have found a crashed flying saucer. ... ahahaha ... and the books have been sent out, it has become a big deal! Suddenly, Zhang Wei seemed to have discovered something and burst into laughter.

As the crowd waited, time passed minute by minute until 1:13 PM. When the hospital's clock slowly reached the 13th second, a voice shouted from the operating room: "Hey... it's out, it's out..."

Upon hearing the news, several young boys retreated, as they were not foolish enough to approach an unknown danger and risk their lives.

A total of seven young boys held various tools in their hands, and then slowly peeled back the foliage to discover a thicket inhabited by snakes. "Swish...!" A cold, slender tail swiftly darted into the grass ahead, leaving behind a half-formed, foul-smelling mound of yellow excrement.

Good... let's go together

Liu Xuegang kept turning his head and asked, "What about me... Is it really a UFO? Zeng Yang, Old Liu, do you think there will be aliens inside the UFO?"

Seeing the red reflection on Liu Buyun's face, Zeng Yang suddenly felt a shock, his neck stiffening as he slowly raised his head. Following Liu Buyun's gaze towards the sky, he cautiously said: "It’s nothing to worry about, my ideas are quite solid; even if the sky were to fall, I doubt I would perish!"

I said... Liu Xuegang, isn't there a stone by your feet? Just pick it up and smash it down hard, isn't that a snake? A meal of wild game, and you just let it escape like that. What exactly are you afraid of?

Hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss...! The fluorescent object wriggled back and forth continuously, while sparks kept flying from the flying saucer. Zeng Yang stared at the fluorescent object, watching it gradually draw a circular shape on the saucer. Feeling that something was amiss, Zeng Yang seemed to have thought of something and quickly shouted: "Something happened inside. It is trying to cut its way out of the flying saucer... Quickly, step back!"

A sudden flash of fire erupted, followed by a tremendous explosion from a distance. At that moment, the seven individuals were taken aback, all staring in shock at the flames rising not far away. After standing in a daze for a moment, Liu Buyun quickly gulped down the remaining syrup and shouted, "What happened? Hurry and find a flashlight; a meteor falling to the ground is a rare event in a hundred years!"

Outside the rudimentary operating room, the "In Surgery" indicator light is glowing. A young man sits with two elderly men outside the door of the operating room, anxiously waiting.

I am in awe... a meteor! Hurry... hurry... hurry!

An old woman approached the elderly man and asked, "In-law, is Ah Hui alright?"

After waiting for a long time, everyone looked at the alien who had fallen out of the flying saucer, uncertain of its fate, and their courage gradually grew.

A few young boys, half-covering their eyes, stared unblinkingly at the opened flying saucer. Their minds were filled with the strange appearances of aliens from the American science fiction films they had watched. At that moment, a swaying figure emerged from the opened saucer, holding a long, strip-like object. The figure appeared quite tall and was dressed in a loose garment.

Boom...! Suddenly, a dull explosion echoed from afar. It was unclear whether it was thunder or something else that had occurred. The crowd gathered at the window to take a look and discovered that green smoke was rising into the sky in the distance, indicating an explosion had taken place. Before long, an ambulance from the hospital sped out with its siren wailing.

Wang Zheng replied, "I will also give you my few volumes of 'Saint Seiya'"

With a heart full of trepidation, Zeng Yang followed the crowd as they ran towards the site of the meteor's fall, simultaneously preparing to flee at a moment's notice; who knows what might happen, but one thing is certain: it will not be anything good

"Peh peh... the crow's mouth, good luck turns bad. It's not easy to come out to the wild, and if we can't manage it, we might still dig up a treasure and make a fortune. But with you saying that, who knows, all our luck might just vanish!" another boy replied irritably

A few young boys sat listlessly by the campfire in the evening, with an opened packet of realgar powder placed beside the fire. The packaging of instant noodles, commonly referred to as junk food, was burning on the fire, and the corners of the boys' mouths were stained with the seasoning powder from the noodles.

At the same time, Zhao Liang took out two chocolate liqueurs from his pocket and handed them to Zeng Yang, instructing, "Have a little drink to bolster our courage, for the future of our brothers, for the prosperity and strength of our socialist motherland..."

Zhang Wei hurriedly approached and drew a hunting knife from his belt. At that moment, a loud noise erupted beside Wang Zheng. "Keng...!" Startled, Wang Zheng quickly jumped back. Turning around, he saw a glowing metallic object emerging from the flying saucer, surrounded by flickering sparks that resembled those from an electric welder.

Zeng Yang wiped away the drool that had dripped from the corner of his mouth while sleeping, picked up the glass jar of pear preserves, and said: "Wang Zheng, stop with the sarcastic remarks. You’re only carrying a little bit, so of course you’re not tired. I’m carrying the tent and all the supplies. How about we switch tomorrow?"

After a long time, a circular shape was finally cut out, and the fluorescent object disappeared. At the same time, the surface of a flying saucer emitted a series of friction sounds, gradually tearing away from the surface of the saucer and falling to the ground

Another boy snatched the fruit can and said: "I told you, Zeng Yang, who told you to be so tall? If you don't carry it, who will?"

Hurry up... it's just ahead... Zeng Yang, stop dawdling and hurry up!

... ...

With many people around, the boys walked side by side towards the crashed UFO, their flashlights continuously scanning for the hatch of the spacecraft

The flashlight is in the tent bag, hurry up

There... there! It is unknown whether it is schadenfreude or an attempt to drive away the troublesome snake; the boys wielding stones and sticks did not even ask each other if their backsides had been kissed by the snake, but were solely concerned about the whereabouts of the legendary serpent!

For some reason, at this moment, Zeng Yang felt that something was very wrong, very, very wrong. ... Every time it was his birthday, incidents such as fires, heavy rain, gas explosions, lightning strikes, tornadoes, and the collapse of shoddy construction projects ... would continuously occur around him. Why wouldn't that happen this year?

It has come out! A few boys hiding to the side quickly shrank their heads, using the smallest peripheral vision to glance at the distant open flying saucer
