Chapter Seventy-Seven: You May Be a Dummy
To Wang Yuechuan's surprise, they drove all the way out, and in the end, Professor Trevor actually led him to a mountain in the suburbs. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
On the way, I only saw a few peasant tile houses, which can be said to be a place of panic.
Eventually, the two got out of the car and climbed the hill on foot. As a policeman, Wang Yuechuan's physical fitness is quite good, but Professor Trevor's is not good, and after a while, he is already panting like a cow and full of big men, so Wang Yuechuan has to worry that this professor can persevere.
In addition, Professor Trevor kept looking around as he went, sometimes frowning...... Wang Yuechuan believed that this old professor was also coming to this place for the first time, so he was not familiar with it.
"Professor, what are you looking for?" Wang Yuechuan asked indifferently.
"Graves. Professor Trevor didn't look back, but said, "To be precise, it's supposed to be a place called a mass grave." I've seen some local residents mention this place online when they are chatting...... Well, it should be in this direction, let's hurry. β
Wang Yuechuan didn't say much...... the Book of the Dead was all translated by this professor, and although he had doubts, he had no defensible opinion. Is it just possible to find someone else to translate in addition to Professor Trevor?
Wang Yuechuan believes that there must be someone other than Professor Trevo who can translate, but it is not easy to find...... What's more important is that the less you know about the Book of the Dead, the better.
"It's here!" Professor Traver suddenly stopped and smiled, "Wang, if you use your Dongfang words, then the emperor lives up to his wishes!"
"Really?" Wang Yuechuan nodded, "What should I do next?" you seem to have mentioned before you went out...... A ritual?"
This is what Professor Trevor mentioned before he went out, saying that through a certain ritual, it can also speed up the practice of magic, and at the same time, it can also improve the magic power of the individual, but the conditions are very harsh.
Professor Trevor nodded, looking around. This is part of the mountainside, and the terrain is concave inward, and the surroundings are already shady and humid. Among the exposed soil, you can see some water chestnuts from the golden pagoda that was used to bury the bones.
"It has been mentioned in the Book of the Dead that the composition of our magic is mainly physical strength, will, spirit, and so on. Professor Trevor put down the backpack he was carrying at this time, and while taking out the things he was going to use, he looked at Wang Yuechuan at the same time: "That's why you can master magic and use magic faster than me." Because you're younger than me. β
Wang Yuechuan said indifferently: "I already knew this. So, what does it have to do with this mass grave?"
"I don't know who wrote this Book of the Dead, and although there are a lot of differences in the meaning of the translation with the composition of modern words, it can probably be speculated. For example, the will and the spirit seem to be the same thing to modern people, but the Book of the Dead distinguishes them. Physical strength is easy to explain, so why is the will and the spirit separated? I understand it this way, the will is actually our thoughts, and the so-called spirit should refer to the mental force, a special energy that can be expressed numerically. β
Wang Yuechuan frowned and said, "You mean, this place may have this special energy...... Mental power?"
Professor Trevor nodded, "That's right. It is mentioned in the Book of the Dead that all life has a soul, and the difference is only strong and weak, but the birth and annihilation of the soul are the same process. If the body dies, the soul will disappear with it in most cases...... However, the soul is always slower than the body dies. Some souls are easy to transform into another special energy body if their emotions are strong enough in life and in some special places after death. This energy body should be called a ghost, or a precursor to a ghost. And through this special ritual, we are able to absorb the energy of these special energy bodies and transform them into our spirit, that is, spiritual power. β
"In that case, let's get started. Wang Yuechuan said directly.
I saw that Professor Cui Fo did not procrastinate at this time, and after taking the "Book of the Dead" from Wang Yuechuan's hand, he turned one of the pages, and then according to the pattern on this page, he began to put down the crystals bought from the market in different positions in this humid mass grave.
These different crystals, if connected by threads, appear to be a specific pattern...... Probably what is on the Book of the Dead.
"Professor, when did you buy this crystal, why don't I have an impression?" Wang Yuechuan looked at Professor Trevo coldly, he was looking at a black crystal.
This crystal is actually polished to the shape of a common diamond.
"Oh, is this this?" Professor Trevor said casually, "I bought it the other day when I was walking by an antique store. This black crystal was in good condition, and it was originally intended to be used as a raw material for the use of magic, but it happened to be used when I found this ritual. β
"Hmm. Wang Yuechuan just nodded.
Professor Trevor was busy for a while, and finally finished the arrangement, then looked at Wang Yuechuan and hesitated, "Wang ...... Honestly, I've only just finished translating, and I'm not sure if it's effective or dangerous. Otherwise, I'll do it first. β
Wang Yuechuan stared at Professor Trevor, his gaze seemed to Professor Trevor's as if he had a special magical power...... Of course, this magic is not the magic of the other, it is a gaze that can make people panic.
"No, I don't. Wang Yuechuan suddenly shook his head, "It's okay if I come first." Professor: It's important that you're in charge of translation, and if you get hurt, it will only slow down the progress of translation. Besides, I'm stronger than you, and even if an accident happens, I'll always be better than you. β
"This ...... That's okay. Professor Trevor nodded, then looked at Wang Yuechuan and said, "Wang, thank you." β
"You're welcome. Wang Yuechuan said indifferently: "It's just a matter of preference...... So, what should I do?"
"You go straight inside. Professor Trevor pointed to the ritual circle, "Then I'll try to activate these crystals outside." If there are still spirits left in this place, they will be attracted to these crystals. When these spirits enter the ritual circle, they will be reduced to pure spiritual power. You should be able to feel it, and then start meditating. β
According to Professor Trevor, Wang Yuechuan sat cross-legged on the ground and closed his eyes at the same time.
Professor Trevor's eyes narrowed...... If it's right here...... It's a great opportunity.
It's a pity that he doesn't have enough ability, and at the same time, although Wang Yuechuan proposed to try it himself, when he just looked at it, it still made Professor Cui Fu jealous...... Wang Yuechuan still didn't fully trust him.
But...... You've been stuck in it since you peeked at my notes.
Professor Trevor thought as he began to initiate the ritual, and when all the crystals around him suddenly lit up a glimmer of light from inside, the temperature around him seemed to drop a little.
And Wang Yuechuan also felt that something wonderful began to emerge around him.
"Sure enough, there are still some spirits left! Absorb them!" Professor Trevor said quickly.
Wang Yuechuan had a very basic feeling at this time, since he was born with magic power, he could feel it in his head all the time, as if there was a special seed - this is the so-called seed of magic power.
At this time, this seed of magic power is absorbing the energy of those transformed spirits...... Not much, just a trace of it, but slowly nourishing this seed of magic.
I don't know how long it took, this nourishing feeling suddenly stopped, and Wang Yuechuan subconsciously opened his eyes, "Why did it stop?"
I saw that Professor Trevor outside was pale at this time, as if he had collapsed, and he sat down in the place, "Wang, I can't hold on anymore, it takes a lot to maintain this ritual." β
In fact, to increase the magic power, it should be to increase the upper limit of the magic power, relying on meditation to increase the upper limit of the speed is too slow, this moment of absorption made Wang Yuechuan's magic power seed nearly triple the growth, and suddenly stopped, naturally there was a feeling of loss.
But since this ritual is useful, then there is no hurry, Wang Yuechuan stood up very happily: "Since this is the case, then you teach me how to start, and then you can absorb it, professor." β
Soon after, Professor Trevor began to absorb the energy transformed by the spirits, and his complexion gradually became more beautiful...... As for Wang Yuechuan, he is calculating the gains and losses between consumption and absorption - of course, the gain is far greater than the consumption.
After all, the mana consumed can be recovered naturally, and basically if you have enough rest, you can almost make up for it in a day or two, but it is not easy to increase the upper limit.
While calculating this, he was even observing the so-called spirits that had been absorbed by the ritual.
Book of the Dead...... So, what will be the world of these spirits formed after death?
What will be the world after death?
Whether it is the East or the West, there are many descriptions of the afterlife.
For example, the underworld in the East and the hell in the West. Or the so-called heaven, heaven, and so on.
These descriptions have even undergone a great deal of artistic processing, and the afterlife has even been imagined by mankind as a complete and rigorous worldβbut no one has ever really seen the so-called world of the dead.
These spirits, if they are just a collection of some kind of energy, why are they like this-although they are almost transparent, they can still be vaguely seen in their former appearance.
And one of the spirits, although absorbed by the ritual formation, looked towards Wang Yuechuan at this moment. Its expression suddenly became painful, and it began to distort, finally revealing a hideous appearance.
Wang Yuechuan could even feel a sense of discomfort from the spirit body staring at it...... That's hate.
If it's just energy, where is the hatred...... Does it still retain thoughts?
If the mind remains, according to Professor Trevor's explanation, the will that constitutes the magic is equivalent to the human mind...... Does that mean that spirits still retain their will?
The World After Death...... What exactly could it be?
......
......
"Ghosts?"
"Yes, teacher!"
In the huge training ground under the pet hospital, Mo Xiaofei, who had just completed a training session, was resting at this moment, drinking Long Xiruo's special drink to replenish his physical strength, and asked: "In the past two days, the girls in our class have started to discuss pen fairies or something, so I am curious to ask, is there really a ghost?"
Long Xiruo asked casually while plucking out his ears, "Why do you discuss such a thing as a pen immortal?"
"Because there was a movie released recently, which is a horror film about pen fairy. Mo Xiaofei didn't think about it and said, "So it's discussed, it's a hot spot!"
Long Xiruo yawned, "There is still such a thing as a pen fairy, but it is actually a little different from the pen fairy you know. β
"What's the difference?" Mo Xiaofei suddenly showed a curious baby's appearance.
"First of all, the Pen Fairy is not capable of answering all your questions. β
Long Xiruo plucked out his other ear, "The first pen fairy is actually some readers. Well...... It should be said that it is the kind of scholar who studied hard in order to gain fame in ancient times, right? To put it simply, he is a guy who reads to death. They die in front of the books, but their obsessions will not go away, and they will cling to the books. Later, such books were obtained by other readers, because they were also enthusiastic about knowledge, and it was easy for the two to resonate with each other. At this time, the so-called pen fairy will appear, and the reader asks the pen fairy what he does not understand the knowledge in the book, and he has been answered...... I don't know how this thing came out, it was originally a process of dead scholars teaching living scholars knowledge, and over time, it became omniscient pen fairy, it's really funny!"
"That's roaring too!" Mo Xiaofei suddenly threw a flash of light at Long Xiruo, "Doesn't this mean that you have a portable tutor for nothing!"
Long Xiruo waved his hand and said: "How can a pen fairy appear so easily? Only a real reader, the kind with a pure heart, can become a pen fairy, attached to the book, and endure for a long time." In general, it is estimated that dead is dead. Anyway, now that the underworld is not open, the three souls and seven spirits will not be left for long before they will be extinguished by the yang energy of the human world. β
"Oh oh!" Mo Xiaofei nodded, and then suddenly was stunned, "Teacher, what did you just say...... Is there really such a thing as an underworld? After death, there really is another world?"
Long Xiruo continued to yawn, propped up his little head and said, "What, don't you believe in this kind of thing?"
Mo Xiaofei said disturbedly: "No, it just feels a little illogical...... Doesn't it mean that the underworld is a place where people are reincarnated? In that case, it doesn't sound like a problem for people to be reincarnated after they die. But the population has been surging, and even if the people who died in front of them were really reincarnated, they wouldn't be able to account for so many new people, right? So where did the souls of those new people come from? You can't play with a dozen or twenty or even more trumpets after a soul is reincarnated, right?"
Long Xiruo smiled and suddenly said, "If you use this kind of words...... Originally, it was a multi-account login. β
"What?" Mo Xiaofei opened his mouth.
Long Xiruo rolled his eyes and said, "Otherwise, why do you think that it is called three souls and seven spirits? One soul or one soul can be reincarnated." As for the reincarnated soul, it will gradually grow up again to become a complete three souls and seven souls through the nourishment of the body, and so on and so forth, it is a complete reincarnation, so no matter how large the population is, it will not be enough soul. Many years ago, there was a fool who said that hell is not empty and he will not become a Buddha, but because of this, he was directly pitted miserable. β
I'll go......
"Teacher, the fool you are talking about can't be the legendary Bodhisattva of the Earth and Jizo King?"
"What do you think?" asked Long Xiruo without answering.
Mo Xiaofei knew that he had asked a very stupid question, and immediately laughed dryly, "But, why won't the underworld open now? If it doesn't open, won't no one be reincarnated?"
Long Xiruo shook his head: "I don't know about this...... It's just that the passage from the underworld to the world is closed by whom, or for some reason. It's probably been a hundred years since I've seen an army of souls coming up from the underworld. β
"Close the ......" Mo Xiaofei was a little confused when he heard this, and subconsciously asked: "Then if it is not opened, where does the soul of the newborn person come from?"
Long Xiruo said coldly: "That's why there are so many 'dummies' in the world! Otherwise, how do you think you can still live until now? That boss can be so kind? Because you are a 'true soul'!"
