Chapter 46: Mythology
"Even now, the existence of souls is still inconclusive, and even great scientists can't figure it out, and high school students like me, who are still studying, can't be sure whether souls exist at all.
Moreover, our evening radio is not a popular science program, and today's topic is not to discuss the existence of souls. Therefore, whether the soul exists or not is left to those scientists to study.
We're just a radio show. The supernatural story is just a simple story show, a very simple story show that appeared in order to share the lost traditional stories with everyone. ”
Regarding the scientific argument of the soul on the Internet, Ning Shuangshuang actually went out of his way to investigate. After deciding to turn the evening broadcast into a temporary ghost story program, Ning Shuangshuang deliberately investigated this aspect.
After all, the existence of ghosts is not only a matter of science, but also a matter of superstition. In this futuristic world where science reigns, who knows if there will be an organization dedicated to fighting superstition.
However, after a special investigation, Ning Shuangshuang was completely relieved. Because even in the future world, religious culture, as one of the traditional cultures of mankind, will still stand.
Although many religious cultures have also caused the loss of classics due to the invasion of the diggers, this defect has not had much impact on the culture. At the very least, the thrust of the religions has not been distorted.
Moreover, because the science and technology of the future world are unprecedentedly developed, the spiritual civilization of mankind cannot keep up with the speed of scientific and technological development. So much so that many people are very interested in religious culture and myths and legends that have long been lost.
As a part of myths and legends, it will involve supernatural stories of religious culture, and in Ning Shuangshuang's view, it will definitely be welcomed by some people, and at the same time, it will not cause the problem of superstition.
The human beings of the future world are more rational than the humans of Ning Shuangshuang's original era. If it is said that science occupies 80 percent of the credibility of the human minds of the original human beings in Ning Shuangshuang's original era, and belief and culture occupy 20 percent.
In this futuristic world, then, science occupies 99.9 percent of the credibility in the human mind. The culture of faith accounts for only 0.1 percent.
For the humans of the future, myths and legends, religious beliefs and the like. In fact, it is more similar to reading novels, listening to stories, and watching movies. All people have a very objective cognition, and they will never lose their hearts because of their beliefs.
Therefore, Ning Shuangshuang disseminated ghost culture and supernatural stories through the radio without any impact. The only one that will have an impact is probably their radio company, which may attract more listeners because of this unique supernatural story.
"Traditional stories? In other words, is the story of the red dress that the shuangshuang school girl just told a story that has been handed down from a long time ago? ”
Although I have made a lot of preparations, I have also communicated with Ning Shuangshuang about the issue of evening broadcasting before. But when he heard Ning Shuangshuang say that his story was actually handed down from before, Ouyang Hua was still a little surprised.
I hadn't heard her say it before, but this kind of story would involve the traditional culture of human beings. But come to think of it, the content of the story just now obviously happened a long time ago.
You must know that since the development of the virtual world, it has been hundreds of years since all human education was moved to the virtual world. The kind of stories that happened in real schools are at least hundreds of years old.
"That's right, if I told you that the horror story was a ghost story, you might not understand it very well. The definition of a ghost may not be known to many people today.
It's okay not to know about ghosts, I'll explain this later. Of course, I have a question I would like to ask before I explain. Senior Ouyang, do you have the habit of sacrificing ancestors at home?
That is, after the death of the relatives of the older generation, in order to pay tribute to the departed relatives, a funeral will be held and a posthumous photo will be taken. Incense, grave and the like. ”
Nodding affirmatively, noticing the surprised expression of Ouyang Hua sitting across from him, Ning Shuangshuang smiled and continued to the virtual microphone in front of him. But halfway through the conversation, Ning Shuangshuang changed his words and asked Ouyang Hua an unknown question.
"Funeral? This one does. But does it have anything to do with today's story? Slightly stunned, but quickly came back to his senses from Ning Shuangshuang's question, Ouyang Hua replied, and at the same time, he also recalled in his mind that when his wife and grandfather died, there was a black and white crowd in the house.
"It can be said that the so-called ghost is actually a form formed by the soul born after the death of a person. Of course, because there was no scientific basis in ancient times, many people believed in the existence of ghosts, so many stories about ghosts have been handed down.
According to this legend, there are two completely different worlds outside of the world in which humans live, one is the world in which gods, immortals, and Buddhas live, the heavenly realm, and the other is the world in which the souls of people live after death, the underworld.
Depending on what humans do throughout their lives, after different people die, their souls go to different places. The great man who saved the world and changed the world may become a meritorious god or Buddha after his death.
And those who are ordinary and have a dull life will enter the world in which the soul lives. Of course, heroes and great men are a minority after all, so most of them enter the underworld.
After the soul enters the underworld, there will be several different ways out according to the merits and deeds of the life. Those who do bad deeds will be convicted by the Hades judge of the underworld, imprisoned in hell, tortured for hundreds of years, erased from their sins, washed away from their memories, and reincarnated as animals such as pigs, dogs, plants, trees, insects, and ants.
And ordinary people who have likes and dislikes in their lives will directly wash away their memories and reincarnate as a human. As for those good people who have done a lot of good deeds, they may be left in the underworld and become yin, and then become ghosts and immortals through cultivation efforts, or they may also be reincarnated as human beings and have a prosperous and prosperous life. ”
Although he only told a very simple ghost story today, when it came to the definition of ghosts, Ning Shuangshuang still popularized the settings of the heavenly realm and the underworld for these current listeners according to his own memory.
This is not only related to the fact that the ghost stories can achieve better results in the future, but also to the structural system of the follow-up mythological stories that Ning Shuangshuang is preparing to carry out after the ghost stories are told.
After all, the show is only a short-term program, and Ning Shuangshuang doesn't plan to rely on ghost stories all the time to fill the evening broadcast time. She didn't know many ghost stories, because after all, she was actually quite afraid of ghosts.
Of course, even if he was scared in his heart, Ning Shuangshuang would never admit it.
