Su Wen fell into deep thought after talking about the knowledge of the soul. The way of existence of Suo's soul is something that Su Wen has never considered.

Ten or twenty minutes passed, and Professor Gu still couldn't wait for Su Wen's answer, but he could also understand that this question was not so easy to answer. Seeing that Su Wen couldn't recover for a while, he got up and went outside the tent.

"Professor, ask him if it's useful? I don't think it's much of a help to our research, so I might as well study the wooden cards when I have the time. The other man asked in a whisper after going out.

"In this regard, they have gone further than us. Professor Gu looked into the distance and said casually.

"It's not as systematic as we are, but they have a unique understanding. Like those skeletons that he overhauled, you have seen it, which science can't do nowadays anyway. And 2,000 years ago, they were able to do it. ”

"I just don't think their set of things is in tune with modern science, and I'm afraid it won't work. Another explained.

The professor turned his head to look at him, "How can you know if you don't try?" And science is only a tool used to discover and understand the world, but it is not the only tool. ”

The two of them stayed outside for a while, smoked a cigarette again, and then looked at Su Wen in that frowning and contemplative state.

"Wait here, I'll go over there and see how they're doing. When he comes to his senses, you can call me again. After Professor Gu finished speaking, he left the man to wait here, and went to the scientific research team to see the situation.

After an hour, the man saw that Su Wen moved, thinking that he had finally finished thinking about it, but he didn't expect Su Wen to just change his posture and sit cross-legged into a state of meditation.

I waited all night, and then I couldn't wait anymore so I went back to sleep, and when I came back the next morning, I saw Su Wen taking Xingtian to chant for morning class.

"Master, did you think about that question from last night?"

Su Wen heard this voice after finishing the morning class, and when he looked up and saw that it was the person who came with Professor Gu last night, he said with a smile: "I have a little idea, but I can't do it accurately." ”

"It's good to have an idea, please wait a minute, I'll call Professor Gu to come over. ”

Ten minutes later, Su Wen sat opposite Professor Gu, and Xingtian and the other person were beside him.

"Master, please speak, I would like to know what the soul is like in the eyes of the master and how it exists. ”

Su Wen grabbed the handball that had just been strung in his hand, subconsciously flicked it with his fingers, and then spoke: "I told the professor something about the soul last night, but it was also a family talk. Even within Buddhism, there is no uniformity in the perception of this.

On the other hand, I had a little idea after thinking about it last night.

First of all, I would like to tell the master about the gist of my Zen Buddhism, seeing that sex becomes a Buddha, and sex is the root of a person.

I believe in Zen Buddhism that everyone is a Buddha, but they are covered in dust. Only when you find your true nature and wipe it clean, you will return to your original state.

And the 'nature' is not the soul, he is there, but it is not seen, it cannot be found. If you find it, you will find your way to Buddhahood. But the soul can be seen and touched. From this point of view, there is a difference between the two. ”

"I believe that the master can see the soul, but can the soul be touched?" Professor Gu's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Yes, but only a few people who have cultivated to a certain level can, according to your words, they are old demons. Su Wen smiled.

"Ghosts can also practice?" Professor Gu felt that today was really gaining knowledge.

"People can, why can't ghosts? But they need to be in the place of yin all year round to grow, which is also a relatively rare opportunity, or it has been arranged before death. After Su Wen finished speaking, he continued:

"Continuing what I just said, nature and soul are different. Nature is eternal and unchanging, it is real. It is characteristic of nature that it can be covered with dust, but it will not be worn out, shaken, or touched. In my opinion, nature is the imprint of one's existence, but this imprint does not exist in this world, but exists in another dimension, a higher dimension.

I remember reading a very interesting saying before, that is, if a practitioner wants to be immortal after reaching a certain realm, there is a way, and that is to place his existence in the Heavenly Dao. In my opinion, there is some truth to this statement. But it doesn't need to be placed, it's there.

After talking about nature, I have to say something else, that is, in our opinion, the whole world is illusory and constantly changing. And the same is true of the soul, the soul is the core existence of a person, but the soul is not unchanging, not eternal, and therefore not real, but pseudo-real.

In the simplest way, when a person dies and is reincarnated, his soul is still there, but his thoughts are different. In essence, he is still the same person, but different.

So there are many schools of thought in Buddhism that don't agree with the existence of the soul, because the soul is 'false' and not 'true'.

It seems to me that the soul is a projection of nature in this world. Everything in the world is made by chance, and so is the soul. The projection of nature in this world is entangled with karma, karma, good fortune, and other things, and it becomes the soul, the pseudo-core of a person.

At this time, some special people, or ordinary people, can see the existence of the soul through special methods, and it is visible. ”

Su Wen talked eloquently to the two.

The two of them who listened to the words were eye-opening, and they never thought they could say that.

The soul, which is considered by everyone to be the ultimate mystery, turns out to be illusory and false in the eyes of some.

In the process of listening to Su Wen's speech, the person in charge of recording next to him wanted to refute it several times, but found that he couldn't find anything to refute. As Professor Gu said, in the study of the soul, the other party is far ahead of himself and others.

Neither can he or others want to see the soul, but the other person can easily see it. But the other party has such a unique advantage, but he puts it on the Dharma. If people like this can participate in scientific research, then it will be much easier for others to do research themselves.

Professor Gu sighed on the side: "It turns out that the soul is like this in your eyes, which is really unexpected. Listening to what the master said this time is really rewarding. But I have another thing I want to ask the master for. ”

"Please. Su Wen smiled, and had already guessed what the other party was asking for.

"Can the master let us see the soul?" Professor Gu looked at Su Wen cautiously, a little nervous in his heart. He had visited some of the so-called masters before, but on this issue, all of them refused. Some of them are simply swaggering, but some are really capable, but they don't agree to his request.

"The soul can't see it, but the soul that leaves the body can. Su Wen smiled and said, "But I also have a request." ”

"Speak. Professor Gu hurriedly said, as long as the request was not too excessive, he could agree.

"How many of those wooden cards and skeletons do you have?" asked Su Wen rhetorically.

"Master, what are you going to do?" Professor Gu immediately alerted. Now those skeletons and wooden cards are his lifeline, and whoever wants to move, he can fight for his life.

"They were all ordinary people when they were killed, and they were mutilated and imprisoned on wooden plaques, and they were tortured day and night, for hundreds of thousands of years. If you can, let them return to dust. Su Wen sighed softly.

If Su Wen didn't have the previous sentence and said the back directly, Professor Gu would definitely refuse categorically.

However, when Su Wen said this, Professor Gu felt a little guilty if he refused Su Wen's words, which made him smile bitterly.

"Master, you're embarrassing me. If nothing else, I think no one else can let me. This incident shocked even the upper echelons of the country. If you can solve the mystery of the soul, then the whole world can change. For example, it may be possible to use technology to transfer a person's soul to another body in the future, and then it will become another form of eternal life. ”

Speaking of this, Professor Gu stood up, looking a little excited: "Scientific research discoveries are often accompanied by sacrifices, whether it is gunpowder, or the application of nuclear energy, or some other things, the few unknown victims and martyrs during this period do not know much. And the study of the soul is far more significant than those things. Although they still have to suffer, they will benefit countless people. ”

Su Wen gently closed his eyes and sighed slightly. He knew his proposal wasn't viable, but he still wanted to try.

It is true that scientific progress is accompanied by sacrifice, but it is not the one who speaks.

At this point, Professor Gu looked at Su Wen's appearance of closing his eyes and recuperating his mind, and moved his lips but couldn't say anything. In any case, it was impossible for him to agree to Su Wen's request.

On this morning, the excavation in the sinkhole finally paid off.

Su Wen, who heard the news, went with Li Jiaxi, and when they arrived at the place, they saw that a large pit more than ten meters deep had been dug in the center of the sinkhole.

In one of the corners, a stone statue was dug out, looking like a tiger, making a posture of looking up to the sky and roaring, but with wings.

When Su Wen and the others arrived, most of the stone statue had already been dug up.

"Master, what is this?" asked Li Jiaxi.

"This is Qi Qi, the "Divine Sutra" cloud: 'There are beasts in the northwest, which resemble tigers, have wings and can fly, so they will kill people, know people's words, hear people fight and eat straight, hear people are faithful and eat their noses, and hear that people are evil and disobedient and kill beasts to give them, and the name is poor and strange. This is the beast of great evil. Professor Gu replied on the side that although there has been no progress in research over the years, he has read a lot of various myths and legends.

Then he said: "But I can't see the use, I see that its mouth is hollow, and it may be connected to the ground and used as a fountain." ”

"It's a fountain, but it's not water, it's blood. Su Wen said solemnly. When he saw this stone statue, he felt that there were countless people's resentments attached to it.

"Master, do you understand?" Professor Gu raised his eyebrows and asked, although he couldn't agree to Su Wen's request, he still had a lot of respect for Su Wen himself.

"I don't know, but I can feel a grudge attached to it, and I don't know how many people cursed this statue when they died. Su Wen shook his head and said, he didn't know much about these things, he didn't have so much time to read other books except for practicing meditation every day, how could he have so much time to read other books?

As the excavation continued, everyone found that the tail of the stone statue was connected to something, and continued to dig backwards to find that it was a big ding.

Only one corner of the big tripod was dug out, and it was estimated that it was at least four or five meters high, and the exposed part was all rust, and I don't know how many years it had existed.

"Ahh

"Long Yuewu, what are you doing?" The platoon commander next to him hated iron and steel, and he didn't see that the regiment commander was standing on the side, and he actually lost such a big face.

Su Wen took two steps forward and stretched out his hand to gently caress the surface of Da Ding, feeling a piercing cold along his fingers about to rush into his body. This is not an ordinary cold, but with an evil aura.

At the same time, as this cold evil poured into his arm, countless miserable howls and curses sounded in Su Wen's mind, as if he had crossed countless times and heard the beings who died tragically here at that time. If you're not mistaken, it's the life of those white bones.

Su Wen let go of his hand, and those miserable howls disappeared suddenly, but his fingers could still feel the biting coldness.

When he opened his eyes, Professor Gu was reaching out to touch the top of the big ding, only to see that his face suddenly turned pale, and his whole body began to tremble.

Seeing the opportunity, Su Wen hurriedly opened Professor Gu's arm, and Professor Gu fell straight down.

"What's going on?" the others didn't know.

"This Dading is a little evil, the poor monk guessed that it should be contaminated with the blood donations of many people, and the nature has changed a little after a long time, with a cold and evil meaning. And there is the lingering resentment of the deceased entangled, which ordinary people cannot touch. ”

"I'll try. "The colonel is a little unbelieving, and he claims to be a soldier and has strong blood, even if he has any magic of ghosts and gods.

Su Wen saw that he wanted to try, and he didn't stop him, and after seeing him reach out and touch the surface of Dading, the whole person trembled.

However, after all, he was not as old and frail as Professor Gu, and he could still retain his meaning, so he threw away his arm directly, and then the whole person dodged back violently, if he hadn't been held back, he would probably be about the same as that little soldier.

"Evil door, too evil door, this thing. The colonel's face turned pale and he looked astonished.

Seeing him like this, others were curious, what was the situation, and several people went up to try it, but their faces were all pale.

Now everyone is a little respectful of this big ding.

"I'll get rid of all the resentment that is entangled in this big tripod, otherwise this thing is unknown, and often contact with this thing will inevitably cause an accident. Su Wen saw that everyone had tried it, and then he spoke.

"No, I can't. Professor Gu was still sitting on the ground to recover, and immediately jumped up when he heard Su Wen's words.

It's his treasure, and no one can touch it.
