"Let's talk about 'parallel universes'," Wu Xiaobei flicked a little on the edge of the wine glass with two fingers, and the wine glass made a pleasant crisp sound, "Ding! "Hit the ground.
"Heaven, man, and earth are actually three 'parallel universes', and although the three worlds are different, their core essence is the same. That's why there is so much interaction between the three parallel worlds. The red-clothed messenger stretched out three fingers and explained to Wu Xiaobei, "The nature of heaven is upward, the nature of earth is downward, and the two extreme worlds are inhabited by creatures of extreme nature, also known as gods and ghosts, with extraordinary abilities. The nature of the human world is in the middle," the red-clothed envoy pointed at Wu Xiaobei with a smile and said, "The location is also in the middle, it is a relatively balanced world, living human beings with mediocre abilities and qualities, their bodies, hearts and energy are full of countless contradictions, and they need cultivation and fate to go to heaven or earth. The red-clothed messenger poured wine for Wu Xiaobei, Wu Xiaobei gave in and followed her, the envoy continued, "The three worlds of heaven, man, and earth are so close to each other, it is simply a border next to the border, there are countless space-time gates, and there are countless time-space gates, without special abilities, ghosts and gods can freely enter the world," the red-clothed messenger stretched out a finger and pointed up and down, indicating that there are many space-time gates, and it is easy to come and go, continued, "In fact, human beings can also enter the heavenly realm and the underworld in this way, but human abilities are not enough. As for how the three worlds came about, it is a secret that most ghosts and gods don't know, you know," the red-clothed envoy stared at Wu Xiaobei's eyes when he said the last sentence, but because Wu Xiaobei was wearing blind glasses, the red-clothed envoy didn't see it clearly.
This time, Wu Xiaobei learned to be smart, and took the initiative to say: "I understand, I don't ask." In fact, I think it's a big secret that heaven, earth and man are three 'parallel universes'. Parallel universes come in thousands of forms. Without hindering my understanding, please continue. ”
"This is indeed a big secret, although it is not the core, many gods and ghosts don't know, you are blessed." The red-clothed envoy nodded to Wu Xiaobei and said, "That's right, the 'parallel universe' does have countless forms, and it is not just a simple repetition of each other, much the same, it may also be a completely different world, this point, you are very smart," the red-clothed envoy glanced at Wu Xiaobei charmingly, Wu Xiaobei hurriedly held his glasses, maintaining restraint, and the envoy continued with a smile, "As for who the master of the heavenly realm is, various religions and myths in the world have their own settings, and in reality, there is only one master of the heavenly realm, but he will be called this for a while." It will be called that for a while, and the name cannot be unified. The red-clothed messenger stretched out a finger and said, "Religion and mythology say that the master of the underworld is not one, but this time it is a bit reliable, and it is indeed not one, but two. There are two masters in the underworld, and the division of the human world is East and West, or the Lord of the East or the Lord of the West. The red-clothed messenger stretched out two fingers and said, "The heavenly realm and the earth realm jointly govern the human realm, the human realm calls the heavenly realm 'heaven', and the human realm calls the underworld 'hell' or 'earth'. ”
"I kind of understand now why you didn't explain it to me at the beginning, you really have to sit down and talk slowly, it's so complicated!" Wu Xiaobei raised his glass and saluted the red-clothed envoy.
The red-clothed messenger took a sip of wine, smiled indifferently, and was about to speak, but her voice was about to change, she covered her mouth, coughed lightly twice, suppressed the change, and continued to say in a girl's beautiful voice: "This is just the beginning, don't think it's complicated." The human world is governed by the heavenly realm and the underworld, the lord of the heavenly realm is called God, who is in charge of the good in the world, and the lord of the underworld is called the lord of the underworld, who is in charge of the evil in the world. God is in charge of the whole world, and the East and West are in charge of half of the earth. ”
"Well, the head manager and the person in charge, and then go down, there are countless managers and managers," Wu Xiaobei raised his eyebrows and said, "Then you need a management plan, otherwise it will be a mess, no one will listen to anyone, and no one will be able to control anyone." What's your name? Protocol?"
"Agreement, this word is used too well," Wu Xiaobei's analysis made the red-clothed envoy very happy, and the envoy smiled and said, "We have a similar word, called 'contract', which is the second keyword today." ”
"The first keyword is 'parallel universe', and the second keyword is 'contract,'" Wu concluded, "It's very understandable, please continue." ”
"The Lord of the Western Realm is called Hades by you, and the Lord of the Eastern Realm is called Hades King Yama by you. King Yama is my client," the red-clothed messenger laughed.
"You get down to business now, I won't be confused when I hear it," Wu Xiaobei began to study the silver cover on the table, and just wanted to reach out and uncover it, but was stopped by the red-clothed messenger, so he had to give up.
"King Solomon must have heard the story of being able to control ghosts and gods, right?" The red-clothed messenger said, her mysterious smiling face reminded Wu Xiaobei of the Mona Lisa.
"This is an early myth of mankind, and it has been passed down with a shadow, but in my opinion it is more like a metaphor, a metaphor of a contract." Wu Xiaobei took a bite of the spiced chicken feet, then pointed at the red-clothed messenger with the chicken feet, and said blindly.
"That's right," the red-clad messenger said with a smile in an elegant pose, "and let me explain this myth in depth." ”
Wu Xiaobei raised the chicken paw in his hand and motioned for her to continue.
"Do you know who King Solomon is incarnate in this story?" The red-clothed messenger asked.
"Needless to say, of course he is the master of the heavenly realm," Wu Xiaobei spat out a piece of chicken foot bone and said, "Only he can send all the ghosts and gods." ”
"I'm afraid ordinary people will think like this," the red-clothed messenger's eyes looked into the distance, obviously recalling the distant past, and her voice fell lower and lower, like a memory more like a dream, only to hear her mutter, "King Solomon symbolizes the contract, God is just the same as the East and West Lords, they are just the signatories of the contract, and the other ghosts and gods are just passive observators of the contract. ”
"I don't think it's any different," Wu Xiaobei listened a little confused, thought for a moment and explained according to his own thoughts, "Obviously, the contract is very sacred in your hearts, just like the American Declaration of Independence, it has become a supreme and transcendent independent entity, a symbol of personification, right?" Otherwise, you wouldn't speak of the contract as if it were a free-spirited entity. ”
"The transcendent independent body, this is a good metaphor," the red-clothed messenger came back to his senses, looked at Wu Xiaobei with a sly look in his eyes, and agreed with his somewhat self-made clever explanation, and the Mona Lisa-like mystery on his face deepened, like a bottomless abyss, which made people unable to figure it out.
"Perhaps, in the sake of fairness, you have made a contract together, and you have made it supreme, and both ghosts and gods must abide by it, right?" Wu Xiaobei guessed smartly.
"Alas, perhaps," the red-clothed messenger put away the mystery on his face, instantly changed into the sweetness of a girl, and said to Wu Xiaobei with a cynical smile.
"And what you asked me to do was caused by this contract? Complaints? Wu Xiaobei speculated tentatively.
"Young Master Wu is really so smart," the red-clothed envoy couldn't help but applaud Wu Xiaobei's self-inflicted cleverness.
Wu Xiaobei was also overwhelmed by himself, got up with a polite smile, and bowed back to the beauty in red in Western style.
"There is dissatisfaction, there is triggering, it does come from the contract," the woman in red smiled, "but to be specific, it is not that simple. ”
"What do you mean by that?" Wu Xiaobei shifted his attention to the silver cover again, at this moment, there were some "clanging" sounds from time to time in the cover, as if something with a hard shell was about to break through the wall.
"To be precise, it is the contract itself that is not satisfied, not the content of the contract," said the red-clothed messenger with a serious expression mixed with cunning on his face, "and the incident was triggered by the content of the contract. ”
"Ah," Wu Xiaobei stared at the silver cover, as if he understood, and pointed to his head, "Hell vs. Heaven, the devil vs. God, the legendary contradictions and confrontations." ”
The red-clothed envoy just wanted to say something, but he immediately stopped it, his eyes were like a cone, staring at Wu Xiaobei's eyes sharply, and it took a long time to explain with a mysterious smile: "We have contradictions, but that's not the most important thing, not the point. ”
"So what's the point?" Wu Xiaobei couldn't help but be curious, as if he had no intention, but in fact, he intentionally threw a peanut on the silver cover, and there was an extremely fierce collision in the silver cover, obviously the thing in the cover was a living thing, and it was very fierce and powerful.
The woman in red patted the silver cover that shook violently, and the creature in the cover immediately became much quieter, and the woman in red said, "The point is that we can't keep the contract if we don't want to." ”
"Then this contract is simply too powerful," Wu Xiaobei said, but his eyes were staring at the silver cover, and he didn't know if he was talking about the power inside the silver cover, or the contract.
"The point is, the contract involves the distribution of power in the underworld," said the red-clothed messenger as he slammed the silver shroud away like a magician revealing the mystery of the magic.
Wu Xiaobei shouted "wow", and the whole person came up, stunned by the things that appeared in the silver cover......
