Chapter 9: The Modern Hades

"Oh my God! This is the underworld, I'll pick you up and take you to the capital city......" Bai Wuchang Dieyi looked at Tao Qi like an idiot again, and explained, "The environment is good, right?" This is the great Bodhi tree in the underworld, and after the death of a person who has done enough good deeds and accumulated virtues, the soul will be transported here, and then set off from here to the capital city. ”

"What about the evil many?" Tao Qi couldn't help but ask curiously.

"It's also here." Bai Wuchang said expressionlessly.

"......" Tao Qi felt that he couldn't communicate with this Bai Wuchang, so you just said that everyone would come here if they died. By the way, why can't you see people here? There are so many people in the world, it is not possible that many people will die at the same time, there should be many people here! Tao Qi glanced around and saw that there was no one else under the big Bodhi tree, and asked in surprise.

"Oh, it's no wonder you're surprised. The so-called one sand and one world, one leaf and one Bodhi. The idealistic principles taught by Buddhism, Taoism, ******, and Catholicism, and even the profound materialist insights obtained after the development of science will all end up in the same place, and the reason why there are differences in cognition at present is only the different inferences of different stages of human understanding of the world.

The universe is composed of countless parallel spaces, and the underworld and the yang world are actually different sides of the parallel universe, and the so-called "underworld" refers to this side of the underworld universe. This is a transit point for the soul in the process of reincarnation, and this big Bodhi tree site is like a node on the Internet in the human world, where everyone has their own soul connection point.

This is also the profound and rational description of the Buddhism's saying 'one sand and one world, one leaf and one bodhi'. ”

Tao Qi's question actually caused Bai Wuchang to say a lot of truth, which shocked Tao Qi, but he didn't expect this hanger to be able to say such extremely lofty words.

"Hehe, worship me, huh? Every person who was brought in heard despicable remarks. Basically, they will be attracted by the profound knowledge of the contemptible, impressed by the noble temperament of the contemptible, and unconsciously worship the contemptible. I don't mind having more fans like you......" I didn't expect Bai Wuchang Dieyi's next words to directly make Tao Qilei crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, listening to him a "contemptible person". Tao Qi was given goosebumps by the narcissism of the white impermanence.

"That's how you explain it to everyone?" Tao Qi asked curiously, "By the way, what did you say about taking me to Xudu City?" ”

"Oh,! Here it is again, patronizing and talking, forgetting about business......" Bai Wuchang listened to Tao Qi's question, and suddenly jumped up.

"Huh?"

"Let's go, get in the car. Talking on the road, if you delay the time, Lao Tzu will be thundered again......" Bai Wuchang didn't know what spell he cast, and suddenly made a sports car come out.

Tao Qi looked sideways, hey, the sports car that Bai Wuchang made out of thin air actually had a "Don't Touch Me" (BMW) license plate, and he asked curiously: "This brand is also popular in the underworld?" But there's no road, and we can't just press on the lawn, right? ”

Bai Wuchang glanced at him: "A person I took over before once said, 'There is no road in the world, and when there are more people, it becomes a road...... 'Get in the car!' I painted this sign. I heard that the rich people in the yang world are very keen on this. ”

Tao Qi was speechless, this Bai Wuchang is really a living treasure, one will be serious and one will be improper. Wait for him to get in the car. Bai Wuchang Dieyi stretched out his right hand and pressed it lightly on a hand-shaped pattern on the right side of the dashboard in front of him, and a red light band on the hand-shaped pattern plane flashed, just like the red light of a supermarket scanning barcode on Bai Wuchang's palm. In an instant, the dashboard and various equipment on the car lit up, and it was very beautiful. It was the first time for Tao Qishang to see such a way of starting the car, and he watched him operate with wide eyes in surprise, and his mouth gradually became an O-shape.

Immediately after that, Bai Wuchang stepped on the accelerator and held the steering wheel in his hand. "Don't touch me" and "whoosh" rushed out, making the unsuspecting Tao Qi stumble.

Bai Wuchang Dieyi looked at Tao Qi's embarrassment from the rearview mirror. Hehe smiled: "It's very dangerous not to wear a seat belt." It also violates the "Netherworld Road Safety Law"! ”

"I'm a ghost now! Can you die again? Tao Qi sneered in his heart, and then suddenly came to his senses: "How could I stumble? Am I not dead? Isn't it a soul now? Does the soul also have that kind of situation due to inertia? He looked at Bai Wuchang with questioning eyes, waiting for his answer.

"Yes, you are the soul. But in the underworld, the soul is your body, your wholeness, that is to say, in the underworld, the state of your soul now is the same as the body in the yang world when you were not dead, and it will obey all the laws of nature, such as gravity, such as inertia, such as sex......" Bai Wuchang patiently explained.

Tauchi almost rolled his eyes when he heard his final explanation, and immediately thought: "I see, it's not the same as what I thought before!" Tao Qi felt that these things that he encountered after he died were really strange, "as if he was not dead" and thought silently: "That is really interesting".

"Don't touch me" at this point pulled into a highway, yes, a highway. The number of cars next to them gradually increased, and from time to time there were cars overtaking them. The roadside sign is also very chic, although it is not very big but the handwriting is very clear, and it keeps shining: "Huangquan Road Section 186, 1583 kilometers away from Nai He Bridge, 1866 kilometers away from Xudu City".

"Feelings, this underworld has actually paved a highway!" Tao Qi couldn't help but sigh curiously, and then asked, "Now this is Huangquan Road?" ”

"Exactly! Why is it that almost everyone who has died now asks that? O you people! I'm afraid you'll be even more surprised when you arrive at the capital city, do you think that only the yang world has developed and been built, and the underworld will only stay in ancient times? Bai Wuchang asked rhetorically, "Don't forget, all kinds of people, whether rich merchants, nobles, wise men, or beggars, will die as soon as they die, and when they die, they will go to the underworld, and when they go to the underworld, they will bring their thoughts, behaviors, concepts, styles, etc., so of course the underworld will not stay in the style of the Tang and Song dynasties forever like in film and television dramas!" ”

"That's just as well! Hehe, scientists and designers will also die! Tao Qi smiled and said calmly.

Bai Wuchang glanced at Tao Qi, and then said: "When you arrive at the capital city, you will understand what a real big city is, and what a modern city is. ”

"Don't touch me" is fast, only a moment's work. Having already walked a long way, a huge bridge gradually revealed at the bend ahead. The car drove on the cliff, and the abyss in front of it was bottomless and cloudy. The giant bridge is an extra-long cable-stayed chain bridge, with countless piers at the lower end of the valley and the bottom is obscured by clouds and mist. The upper end towers into the clouds and can not see the point, a piece of iron cable is pulled down diagonally, the bridge with a length of thousands of kilometers is divided into one small section after another by the pier, each section is a cable-stayed structure, the white bridge pier is like a long sword pointing straight to the sky, the bridge deck is like a jade belt floating into the distance, I don't know the end.

"It's spectacular!" Tao Qi couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this bridge is too majestic. In the more than ten years he has been alive, he has never seen such a majestic bridge in Yangshi, not even on TV. This bridge, which can only be described as a ghostly workmanship, shocked Tao Qi again, what a high civilization can be built!

"This new Nai Ho bridge was built in 1982, and it is still the longest span and the largest cable-stayed chain bridge in the underworld, designed by a famous teacher, and the nine Yama lords cooperated with the most advanced anti-material spiritual control method at that time to build together, which lasted nine years and was completed and opened to traffic in 1991. Every time I pass here with a new soul, I don't consciously have an urge to worship! Look at Tauchi's look of amazement. Bai Wuchang Dieyi explained excitedly. It can be seen that Bai Wuchang Dieyi has an extreme pride in introducing these great projects in the underworld, and it seems that the construction achievements of the underworld over the years have made him extremely proud.

The car drove on the Nai He Bridge. Tauchi looked out the window under the bridge and felt as if he was flying in the clouds, and it was a great feeling for the car to rush past the unknown birds in the canyon below. When Tauchi pulled his gaze back under the car, he made a new discovery: the wheels of "Don't Touch Me" didn't hit the ground, but floated on the bridge deck and galloped past, no wonder he felt so steady!

Although Tao Qi didn't ask, Bai Wuchang Dieyi saw Tao Qi's gaze in the rearview mirror. The old man took the initiative to explain: "I found it! The car is hovering, right? Seeing Tauchi nod. Bai Wuchang Dieyi proudly continued, "This is another latest scientific and technological achievement - room temperature magnetic levitation technology. When building this bridge, the roadbed used the newly developed antimatter superconducting material, which has zero resistance in the parallel universe of the underworld, that is, the current flowing through this material can reach positive infinity, so that as long as there is a magnetic levitation device with the same technology in the car, it can achieve a state of levitation. As long as the principle of aerodynamics is used to overcome air resistance, our car can reach several times the speed of sound without any bumps, and this technology is about to be fully popularized in the underworld......"

The word "technology in the underworld" still feels a bit strange in Tao Qi's opinion, and with these achievements that Gu Qi has seen, Tao Qi can completely see that the technology of the underworld has completely surpassed the yang world, and he has the feeling that the technology of the yang world has been completely thrown on the starting line. But it's not surprising to think about it, so many scientific giants either re-enter reincarnation or use it in the underworld after death, and it should be said that it can be said that it is a matter of effort to develop technology higher than that of the yang world!

When the city of Xudu appeared in Tao Qi's field of vision, Tao Qi was no longer making a fuss. After all, there were too many things that surprised him today, and the city was really a super huge city, as Bai Wuchang said, and it was a big city ruled by the Chicago School's architectural thoughts. The city is full of skyscrapers, towering into the sky, and some of them are completely unorthodox, making it difficult to guess how they were built. These quirky buildings are interspersed among the skyscrapers, imbuing the entire city with a sense of holistic beauty.

Most of the buildings in the city are fully distant, and the surface of the special material with black glittering metal light makes people feel very textured. According to Bai Wuchang's explanation, these materials belong to antimatter composite materials, and the outermost layer of black materials has the ability to absorb solar energy, which can convert solar energy into electricity for urban electricity, which not only saves energy, but also makes the indoor temperature not overheated in summer, which is why most buildings are black. The design of the hollow double-layer wall also enhances the warmth of the building, so that the interior will not be very cold in winter, and reduce the heating energy consumption.

Tauchi was amazed by this new knowledge, and the city of the underworld was full of sunlight, which was incompatible with his impression that ghosts were afraid of the sun.

Admiring the design of these buildings from a distance, Tauchi felt that the planning of the city was very sustainable and the overall layout of the city had a strong unity and rationality.

Just as Tao Qi was admiring the planning of this capital city, a large "car" with a positive octagonal shape suddenly rose up not far in front of them, attracting Tao Qi's attention again.
