Chapter 13: Flat
"When you're sad, remember to look at the car when you're walking. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" After speaking, Yu Xi held his hands on the ground and wanted to get up slowly.
Chu Xiao hurriedly stood up and helped Yu Yan, "Hmm." She responded to Yu Yan's words, feeling that she was quite embarrassed.
"You're in another space now, and the space you were in before, the space you usually lived in, is the Yang Realm. After Yu Yan stood up, he began to answer Chu Xiao's doubts.
"The Yang Realm, so this is the underworld?" Chu Xiao will be suspicious, "So, am I a human or a ghost?"
Chu Xiao knew that according to superstition, this world is divided into the underworld and the yang world, and people stay in the yang world when they are alive, and when they die, ghosts will go to the underworld. Yu Xi has affirmed the statement of the yang world, so the underworld should also exist, right? So if she stayed in the yang world before, then now she must be in the underworld, so is she still alive? If she is already dead, how can Yu Huan talk about saving herself? If she is still alive, then why did Yu Huan bring herself to the underworld?
"Of course you are......" Yu Yan's expression seemed to be unwilling to continue, she paused to see a nervous look in Chu Xiao's eyes, and suddenly smiled slightly and continued: "It's human." ”
Chu Xiaodian breathed a sigh of relief, because she no longer had negative thoughts, so she was relieved to hear this answer.
"Because the space you are in is a flat world, not a netherworld. Yu Yan added that she seemed to see Chu Xiao's doubts.
"Flats?" Chu Xiao looked around again, "But is there any difference between here and the Yang Room?"
After saying this, Chu Xiao suddenly remembered that he was in the sun before, it was already dark, and it was morning here, is the difference the time difference?
"We usually talk about three spaces, one is the yang world, one is the underworld, and the other is the flat world. Yu Yan was not in a hurry to answer the difference between the two spaces.
"Is there any difference between these three spaces?" Chu Xiao didn't expect that there were more than two spaces in this world.
"The yang energy in the yang world is the heaviest, the yin energy in the yin world is the heaviest, and the yin and yang energy in the flat world is generally balanced. ”
"That's why it's called Horizon?" asked Chu Xiao.
Yu Yan looked at Chu Xiao, paused for a moment, and then nodded with a shallow smile, "Well, you can understand it that way." ”
"That hell is really a ghost ......" Chu Xiao didn't finish asking, she suddenly leaned over and covered her stomach, and the expression on her face looked a little uncomfortable.
On my mother's side, Chu Xiao ran out angrily before he took the lunch box, and now although it was morning here in the flat room, Chu Xiao didn't eat dinner in the yang world after all. Although the stomach that suffered in the yang world was gone, the hungry stomach refused to let go of Chu Xiao when it came to the flat world.
"What's wrong? Is it a stomach ache?" Yu Yan quickly asked.
"Hmm. Probably hungry. Chu Xiao squatted down holding his stomach and sat on the grass again.
Yu Yan didn't speak, and after a while, she walked over to Chu Xiao and sat down, "Let's eat a few pastries first." Yu Yan didn't know when he took out a plate of pastries from somewhere.
Chu Xiao was not polite, and directly picked up a piece of cake and ate it. When he ate the first piece, Chu Xiao didn't taste what it was, just chewed mechanically. When it was time to eat the second piece, Chu Xiao tasted it carefully. The square cake was bitten into the mouth, the skin was thin and oily, and the pie filling was smooth and sweet, but when Chu Xiao chewed it carefully, there was something in the filling and the skin was crispy, and a special aroma overflowed the entire mouth from the teeth and cheeks.
Chu Xiao was enjoying the delicious taste of the pastries, but suddenly stopped, turned his head and asked Yu Huan in confusion, "Where did you get these?"
"Do you know how to cook?" Yu asked with a smile, and instead of giving a direct answer, she asked a seemingly unrelated question.
"I'll do something simple, and I'll just deal with it. Chu Xiao wiped her mouth and put the dish on the grass behind her, and she was not in a hurry to ask again.
"Then you close your eyes, choose a dish, and tell me how to make that dish while imagining. ”
"Ahh
"Just choose scrambled eggs with tomatoes, what about the national dish," Chu Xiao was saying with his eyes closed, suddenly opened one eye, and asked Yu Huan: "Do you want to talk about the process of washing vegetables?"
"Then don't worry about it, let's start with the pot. You have to have a picture of every step in your mind. ”
"Okay. When the oil in the pan is hot, add the beaten eggs and reduce the heat...... The eggs are fried in oil until they are basically golden brown and solidified, and they are gently stir-fried until the egg fragrance has just come out, and they are set aside for ......," Chu Xiao paused as he spoke.
"Won't you do it later? Yu Yan reminded.
I saw Chu Xiao standing up his palm there, indicating that he was not in a hurry, "I'm waiting for the oil in the pot to get hot, oh okay, put the chopped tomatoes in the pot and stir-fry over medium heat...... When you see the red oil from the tomatoes overflowing, add the eggs and stir-fry them together, cook them a few times on high heat, and add salt. Eh, do you eat green onions?"
"Go on, I'll eat green onions. Yu Yan saw Chu Xiao turn her head towards herself, afraid that she would open her eyes and quickly remind.
"Oh good, add some green onions and stir-fry, and ...... the pot"
"Just serve it on a small plate. ”
"Alright, alright. Chu Xiao could feel the smell of scrambled eggs with tomatoes wafting into his nose, "Can I open my eyes?"
"Hmm. Yu Yan signaled that he could open his eyes.
"It's ...... I did it?"
Chu Xiao opened her eyes and found that Yu Huan was holding a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes in front of her, but there was not much surprise and surprise in her eyes, some were more of a surprise, as if she didn't expect her to do so well. Chu Xiao was no longer surprised, probably because she had fully believed that everything impossible in front of Yu Yan could be true.
"Mm-hmm, looks like you're making a pretty good meal. Yu Huan's eyes crooked with a smile.
Chu Xiao smiled "hehe", she easily brought the food in Yu Yan's hand and put it aside, "Then what is going on with all this?" Chu Xiao's tone actually had a hint of playfulness.
"The yang world is the material space, the underworld is the consciousness space, and the flat world is the semi-material and semi-conscious space. Yu Yan said slowly.
"Does that mean that this dish is just a form of consciousness in my mind, not a real substance? The cake I ate before is also just the existence of consciousness, and the reason why I don't feel hungry is actually a psychological effect, right?" Chu Xiao said his interpretation of Yu Yan's words.
"You're really good at thinking things. Yu Huan was still smiling.
Chu Xiao actually showed a smug look, she had never looked like this before, because no matter what she had done, she didn't feel anything to be proud of in front of others, at most she raised the corners of her mouth and smiled slightly. But she didn't know why, she couldn't help but look like this, maybe she was afraid that she wouldn't have a chance to show this expression if she didn't use it now.
But before Chu Xiao was completely proud, her smiling face froze.
"It's just that that's not the case. Yu Yan continued with what she had just said, she smiled and looked at Chu Xiao with a look of wanting to complain that she didn't finish speaking in one breath, "In the ordinary world, there are many things that can be objectified by one's own subjective consciousness, but there are also many things that can never be objectified, and those things that cannot be objectified are called spiritual things. ”
"Oh, so that's the case! So, are the things in the underworld materialized entirely by subjective consciousness?" Because he knew about the existence of the underworld but had never been there, Chu Xiao seemed to want to know about the underworld.
"Don't worry, I'll tell you about the underworld if I have the chance. ”
"Wait, I'd like to make sure...... Will we really have a chance to meet in the future?" Chu Xiao asked anxiously when she heard Yu Huan say this, and her tone became more serious.
"Actually, maybe it's better if you don't see me. The smile that had been hanging on Yu Yan's face suddenly disappeared, and there was always a sense of solemnity in her indifferent expression.
"Why? I will see you, or will there be anything bad about the people around me?" Chu Xiao looked serious, and his expression was really solemn.
"As long as you don't say it, it won't have any effect on the people around you......
"That's fine, I don't care what bad things will happen to me. Chu Xiao hurriedly said.
Over the years, Chu Xiao has never really had someone to talk to, the kind of friend who can tell all the most inferior and saddest things in his heart without reservation, Chu Xiao does not have. Maybe this is due to Chu Xiao's fear, she is afraid that after telling others what happened to her, not only will she not be cared for, but she will be greeted with strange eyes, because this is how the people in the village treat her.
But Yu Yan is different, first of all, she is not an ordinary person, which inevitably makes people have a psychology of wanting to understand. But the most important point is that Chu Xiao doesn't need to say it himself, Yu Xi seems to be able to understand Chu Xiao's mood, she always has a warm face, Chu Xiao wants this kind of friend, even if this friendship needs to be constantly actively fought for.
"Hey," the woman chuckled, "but there's no bad effect, as long as you're brave enough, you can come to me at any time." ”
A few frightened or missing facial features, or bleeding human heads flashed out of Chu Xiao's mind, she unconsciously pursed her lips and swallowed her saliva, but then she was full of anger: "It's okay, I'm not afraid!"
In fact, before meeting Yu Huan, Chu Xiao was really not so afraid of ghosts, but after learning more from Yu Huan, she realized that her previous fearlessness was just because of ignorance, so she was actually still very scared in her heart.
"Okay, then I'll take you to a place to rest first, after all, it's time to sleep in the sun at this moment. The woman got up again and prepared to leave.
"Oh. Chu Xiao was in a state of excitement at this time, and she didn't feel sleepy at all. "By the way, what is the time difference between the sun and the peace?" Chu Xiao patted the wild grass stuck to his pants.
"The yang world is fourteen hours faster than the normal world, and in another hour or two, the yang world will be tomorrow. Yu Huan walked on the trail with Chu Xiao while answering Chu Xiao's question.
"Oh. Chu Xiao remembered that she didn't know how Yu Yan saved herself, and she suddenly stopped: "How did you bring me here?"
