He Laodao is one of the few foreign surnames in Qijiazhai, the real name of Qijiazhai people can not be remembered, only know that his surname is He, in the early nineties, he entered the Qijiazhai in the mountains alone, and took root as soon as he lived, and he did not see his family and friends to look for more than 20 years, and often carried a big bag into Qiyue Mountain, and he didn't know what he was doing.

In the nineties, Qijiazhai was not very welcome to outsiders to take root, He Laodao was an exception, it is reported that He Laodao has some ability, and he has solved the ant and snake plagues that have plagued Qijiazhai for many years. The patriarch of the Qi family immediately picked a good tile house in the village and came out for him to settle, but He Laodao didn't like the land with many people, so he had to live alone outside the village.

These are all Yang Qiongying's nagging to Zhuang Yi, maybe it is the farce of burning the pig demon, Zhuang Yi and He Laodao always have some fierce sparks that outsiders can't see when they meet, Zhuang Yi himself is interested in the soul core in He Laodao's house, He Laodao, maybe he still doesn't die and burn him into ashes and scatter the heart of the distant mountains and lakes, Zhuang Yi guessed.

Usually He Laodao has been staying at home, Zhuang Yi can't find a good time to be a thief, early this morning he saw He Laodao carrying a large bag of things locked the door into the mountain, as if he was going to leave for several days, he immediately happily smashed the door and entered the house.

He Laodao lives alone in the east of the village, because people are some gods and gods, and no children dare to come here to play, so even if it is broad daylight, Zhuang Yi has no scruples about smashing the lock, as for the future, he will go back after sucking the soul core, and it doesn't matter who will clean up this mess.

Unexpectedly, He Laodao's home was very simple and clean, and there was no scene full of incense and ash as he imagined, but stacks of books were a little shocking to his eyes.

But he was not distracted, the familiar aura was very strong, and he followed the breath, in a very remote and inconspicuous corner of the old study, the breath of the soul core stretched from a wooden box.

The wooden box looked shabby, covered in dust, as if it had been abandoned, and if it weren't for the soul core, he wouldn't have noticed it at all. However, the opening and closing of the wooden box is exceptionally clean, and the edge of the opening is also very smooth.

He opened the box, and a dozen neatly stacked stones appeared in front of him, and he saw the target very lightly. A soul core was attached to a stone shard, larger than the previous two times he had seen, emitting a faint light that swollen and jumped regularly, like a beating heart.

Zhuang Yi didn't know the real reason for the formation of the soul core, but there was a phenomenon that was different from the previous two soul piercing that caught his attention—almost every stone in this pile of stones had a faint light on it. He is also very familiar with these faint lights, in terms of essence, their origin is the same as the soul core, they are all energy light bodies that ordinary people in the atmosphere cannot see, to say the difference, it is estimated that the quantitative change causes the qualitative change, and he can clearly feel that the energy of the soul core is far greater than the light light on other stones.

But why is it that apart from these dozen or so stones, there are no energy light bodies attached to other items?

Maybe...... There's an inexplicable answer to this.

Zhuang Yi tried his best to resist the urge to absorb the soul core and carefully observed these stones. They were like fragments peeling off in one piece, and he was not a geologist to see that these stones were fundamentally different from the others, except that they had strange lines on them.

The texture is simple and atmospheric, as if it contains thousands of years of historical philosophy and life thickness. Zhuang Yi was sure that he had never seen such lines before, but he understood their meaning at a glance - not a simple mural of primitive people, not a rock wall totem of ancient foreign people, but a kind of writing, written to the dead, called the underworld in the east, and the book of the dead in the west.

These words were not like the hydro and yin scripts he had ever seen, and even less like the cuneiform scripts of ancient Egypt, which he should have been completely unfamiliar with, but yet strangely familiar. Obviously, He Laodao was not familiar with these words, because he misspelled them, and it was obviously four fragments, but he insisted on putting them together.

Zhuang Yi stretched out his claws to reverse the order of the stones, and the intermittent text showed a relatively complete meaning.

[Pilgrimage of the dead, singing, singing.

You are the Lord of all things, the God of eternity.

We came from you, and we are holy because of you. 】

Reading this, Zhuang Yi was stunned: Huh? It's familiar, although there are some differences, but isn't this the famous "Book of the Dead" in ancient Egypt? However, the verse in the Book of the Dead reads, "The spirits of the dead rise and sing the sun." The ode is sung to Ra, the god of the sun, and there is no mention of the god in these texts, and all the sacrifices in the Book of the Dead that explicitly praise Ra are missing.

The ancient Egyptians believed that there was a demonic zone between the human world and the "Osiris Kingdom" in the underworld, and that the undead had to pass through this area to reach the "Osiris Kingdom" and face the terrifying obstruction of all kinds of hideous demons. In order to escort the undead to the underworld, the great inquisitor of the balance of the underworld, the god Thoth, wrote the Book of the Dead, relying on the hands of ancient Egyptian priests, and wrote it on the papyrus, and the deceased held the papyrus to resist the attack of demons.

Zhuang Yi is familiar with the Book of the Dead because of his father's relationship, although his father is an ordinary mason in a mountain town, he likes to read some strange books, "The Book of the Dead" is one of them. He has been exposed to it since he was a child, and he has also learned a lot of strange things.

Time rolls up dust under your feet, but you never change.

Thou hast passed the door that was closed behind the night,

to rejoice in the soul that lies in sorrow. 】

This passage is also in the Book of the Dead, and he forgets whether to praise Ra, the sun god, or Osiris, the king of the underworld.

You walk in nothingness, you walk in everything.

You are light and darkness, fire and water, dark chaos and dawn and dusk.

Life begins with you, and you are the source of life.

The spirits of the dead have found favor in you, and you are the Lord of death.

You move forward, time passes.

You retreat, and time is reversed.

You stop, everything is eternal. 】

This paragraph is not, he searched all the inventory in his mind and did not find the corresponding literature, and he did not entangle, and continued to look down. The last paragraph is no longer a mysterious and mysterious text with unknown meaning, but a few sentences of qi absorption.

Qi He also knows that Qi is the initial chaos of heaven and earth, the origin of all things in the universe, the first spirit of the human body, and many concepts named after "qi" in feng shui health, in fact, it is Qi, Qi is the innate Qi, and Qi is the acquired Qi.

In the text, Qi is described as a floating dust floating in the void, a mischievous spirit of light that cannot be seen by mortals. Zhuang Yi blinked: Could it be the energy light body I always see on weekdays?

He tried to inhale the energy light body according to the Qi absorption method, sat quietly, and between breaths, the energy light body really fluctuated and converged, and slowly entered the body, he could feel that the spirit body seemed to become a little brighter after inhaling Qi, and suddenly realized that this is the legendary essence of absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the sun and the moon?

Although I still haven't figured out the mystery of soul piercing, I finally figured out that the origin of the soul core is Qi. These stones are just fragments of a whole, and perhaps the truth will be known by finding other fragments.

There was nothing else worth studying, Zhuang Yi's paws reached for the soul core, closed his eyes, and prepared to return to his original body.

The soul core melted into the spirit body, and the black spots began to repair, and the whole body was indescribably happy. He had been wearing his soul for a few days this time, thinking that he should be staying in the hospital now for nutrient infusion, and his mother was probably guarding the side, and maybe there was a brother in the same bedroom. He smiled and opened his eyes, but was dumbfounded.

Wooden desks, broken chests, all kinds of stones, porcelain copper pots and old objects of indescribable shape piled up in the corners of the walls...... Why are you still in He Lao Dao House!?

He stretched out his paws in front of his eyes:! Trotters! Isn't it true that if you suck the soul core, you should return to the soul!

He quickly examined the spirit, and roughly understood the reason why he couldn't go back—the dark spot of the spirit was still there, albeit a little smaller. Maybe this time the dark spot is too big, and a soul core can't complete it.

The only soul core had been absorbed, and even the faint light of the other stones had been sucked clean by him, and he could no longer feel the breath of the soul core in the four directions. He is depressed, does he want to be a pig for the rest of his life?

However, for Zhuang Yi, the troubles are just passing by, and in just two seconds, he lay on the ground for a while, and he immediately resurrected with full blood: maybe the second soul core will appear in a few days, and there is no end to the road of pigs!

Turning into He Laodao's kitchen to fill his belly, when he burped out, his eyes were hooked by stacks of books again, not that he was obsessed with books, but that there was a kind of book that appeared in He Laodao's house, which was a strange thing in itself.

The hooves open the top of the book mountain, poke a few books at will, all of them are thirty-two open sizes, whether it is printed or typeset, all show the simple flavor of the seventies and eighties of the last century, the titles of the books are "Human Ancestors", "Evolution", "Biological Variation" and the like, the author's name is He Yanzhen.

Congratulate? Zhuang Yi kept an eye on He Yanzhen's book, and finally found the bust of the author in a set of fine collector's edition pages called "The Descendants of Eve".

The author's biography column is as follows: Yanzhen He, a famous biologist, Ph.D. from Stan University, dean of the School of Life Sciences at Tokyo University, and director of the Institute of Evolutionary Biology, has made outstanding contributions to the study of human origins, ecological environment, and biological variation.

Zhuang Yi was speechless, but he didn't expect that He Laodao, who was a Taoist priest dancing and shouting at the peachwood sword to burn the pig demon, was actually a famous biologist in the academic circle more than 20 years ago!?

But how could a famous biologist in the past suddenly become a monk halfway through the family and become a Taoist priest? Zhuang Yi poked his head with his paws, maybe just like Galileo was a Catholic and Newton believed that God created the world, the difference is that Galileo Newton believed in God, while He Laodao believed in Yuan Shi Tianzun.

He Laodao supports the "African monology theory" in the theory of human evolution, believing that modern humans all over the world are descendants of an African woman "Eve" who lived about 150,000 years ago. Of course, this was his position more than 20 years ago, and it is not clear whether his views have changed now. In addition to human evolutionary research, He Laodao has also made great achievements in other biological fields, Zhuang Yi turned to books such as "Amphibian Research", "Catalogue of Insects in the Southland" and "Ecology of Asian Snake Groups", and suddenly remembered that the people of Qijiazhai mentioned that He Laodao solved the problem of ants and snakes as soon as he came to the village, and couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth: An expert in the study of insects and reptiles, it is not a matter of minutes to solve some ants and snakes!

Zhuang Yi was not very interested in the origin of human beings, and after all, the hoof fork was not as flexible as ten fingers, so he flipped it over at will and threw it back into the book mountain. He looked at the other stacks of books, and this time there was something that interested him - Zhang Xianzhong?!
