"The Salesperson of the Shroud Shop"

Chapter 23: The Theory of Ghosts and Spirits

Wu Yu looked at Yu Chen, and when he saw Yu Chen nodding at him, he picked up the hand-cranked flashlight and the scabbard of the sword from the ground with the sword on the altar. Although Yu Chen suffered a lot of injuries, he still didn't need Wu Yu's support, and he also recovered some of his strength at this time, picked up the golden seal of Buddhism on the altar and raised his leg to follow.

Wu Yu knew that the little fox could understand him, and according to his own experience in the animal world, animals would basically not rebel once they surrendered, which was obviously better than what humans did.

Wu Yu looked at the little fox, how cute the snow-white haired and chubby body looked at this moment, sighed and said, "Can you take us out?" ”

The little fox obviously understood, nodded at Wu Yu violently, and shook his small body towards the passage. Wu Yu hurriedly shook the flashlight and retracted the sword from its scabbard, and followed the little fox in. Yu Chen looked at the person and object in front of him, looking like a person with a sore egg, walking a dog, he couldn't help but feel funny, shook his head and followed behind Wu Yu.

The pitch-black passage flashlight can't reach the end, and it seems that this passage is less than 100 meters. It's just strange that the two sides of this passage are made of stone slabs, and the roof of the shed is the same stone slab, except that the ground is not paved with anything, just an ordinary dirt road, and it is full of rubble.

Wu Yu frowned and turned around and said, "This thing doesn't want to harm the two of us!" Something is not quite right in this place, whoever digs the passage only repairs the sides and the roof of the shed, and the ground is not paved with stone slabs, and the walls on both sides will fall due to the pressure. ”

Yu Chen smiled: "Brother-in-law, you know a lot!" But you should understand the reason why curiosity kills cats! Now is not the time for curious babies, it is the right way to get out of here. ”

Wu Yu shrugged his shoulders helplessly and continued to walk forward with the fox, but the little fox stopped before he walked out of more than ten meters in front. Wu Yu looked at the little fox in front of him strangely, and saw that the little fox that had stopped began to dig on the ground, as if a dog was preparing to bury its own feces.

Wu Yu was slightly stunned, turned back to Yu Chen and said, "I said that this thing is actually a dog!" You see it digging holes like that. Yu Chen glanced at Wu Yu, a little annoyed by Wu Yu and couldn't stand it, and pointed to the little fox who was still digging a pit: "Take a look first and then draw conclusions, it must have its purpose." ”

Wu Yu had no choice but to shine a flashlight on the little fox, Wu Yu didn't expect that the fox would dig a pit about 30 centimeters deep after a short period of effort. Seeing the little fox jumping up from the pit, Wu Yu hurriedly shone the flashlight into the pit, only to see that the bottom of the pit was already paved with stone slabs, and the exposed stone slabs were carved with gossip patterns. Wu Yu hurriedly called Yu Chen over to take a look, after all, he didn't know much about gossip patterns.

Yu Chen walked over and just glanced at it casually and said, "Neurotic, the people who built this place are really boring, and they still follow Zhuge Liang's Eight Array Diagram." It's really the first time I've seen someone use this thing as a mechanism, and if this fox immortal hall is built according to the Eight Array Diagram, I can still admire him. ”

Wu Yu looked at the patterns on the stone slab, as if the gossip fonts were all carved on separate stones, it seemed that these eight characters could be pressed, and once a specific mechanism was triggered, there would definitely be corresponding changes. Wu Yu looked at Yu Chen with a disdainful expression and asked, "Brother, do you know which one to press?" ”

Yu Chen shook his head: "I don't know!" But if my guess is correct, the button along the direction we're going out must be right. ”

Wu Yu glanced at Yu Chen very whitely: "Brother, do you dare to be a little more reliable." ”

Yu Chen shook his head: "If you don't believe me, let's vote, it just so happens that you, I and that dog, the fox, the minority obeys the majority." ”

Wu Yu looked at the little fox helplessly, he really didn't expect that he would have such a day, and decided that there would be an animal to vote. The little fox, who could only understand human words, obviously didn't understand what Wu Yu and Yu Chen meant, and suddenly jumped into the pit and slapped it on the button of the Kanzi hexagram with his paws.

Yu Chen looked at it and smiled: "Brother-in-law, I guessed right!" The hexagram is facing the direction we are going out, and you see that this fox has the same idea as me. As soon as he finished speaking, a thick layer of dust suddenly fell on the roof of the passage shed, and then the stone slabs on the walls on both sides of the passage suddenly shattered. Wu Yu didn't know what was going on, so he hurriedly used a flashlight to shine at the broken stone slabs, only to see that behind the broken stone slabs on both sides, the entire text was gradually revealed.

Yu Chen was also surprised, he didn't expect that the words could be hidden behind the walls of this passage, it seemed that the people who built this place had left some secrets here.

Wu Yu and Yu Chen took a look at the wall on the left at the same time, only to see that at the beginning of the text, two bowl-sized traditional Chinese characters appeared in front of the two of them. Wu Yu glanced at it and didn't understand what it meant, but Yu Chen shook his body after seeing the two words.

Wu Yu seemed to be very excited when he saw Yu Chen's appearance, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, isn't this just two words." I recognize it, Soul Stack. What are you excited about? ”

Yu Chen suddenly smiled: "Brother-in-law, read it to me, I seem to know a little bit about the famous hall in this fox fairy hall now." ”

Wu Yu looked at Yu Chen strangely, at this moment Yu Chen was looking at the text in front of him with an excited face, Wu Yu nodded and looked at the text with some literary language, and simply translated: "In the eleventh year of Chenghua, a Taoist priest named Yuehong caught a fox spirit who had cultivated for thousands of years in this mountain, so he thought of his own theory, so he started experimenting here. Here's his theory, with a translation? ”

Yu Chen stared blankly at the words on the wall, nodded and said, "Brother-in-law, you have translated it all, it's best to make a word difference." ”

Wu Yu nodded: "This Taoist priest named Yuehong artificially cultivates immortals in livestock to prolong their lifespan, just like the fox spirit he caught has a lifespan of more than a thousand years." And Taoist monks who are successful in cultivating and monks who insist on cultivation will live longer than ordinary people, so the reason for others' longevity lies in cultivation. Saying this, Wu Yu frowned: "Brother, this guy is studying immortality!" This stuff is too! ”

Yu Chen shook his head: "Brother-in-law, you continue to read, and when you finish reading, I will explain to you the cognition of this kind of thing in Daomen and Buddhism." ”

Wu Yu had no choice but to continue translating: "After collecting many cultivation livestock, Daoist Hong has a new idea this month. After observing the drastic consumption of his Dao by the Immortal Cultivators, he found that once the Dao Cultivation Beasts were seriously consumed, their relative lifespan would also decrease. And this principle is the same for people, after the use of some Taoist longevity techniques, it is also a violent consumption of Taoism, thus reducing the life expectancy. Wu Yu felt that this thing was a bit crooked, it didn't look like a translation, and looking at Yu Chen's appearance, he seemed to be very interested in this thing, if Yu Chen really studied this thing, then he would hurt him.

Yu Chen saw that Wu Yu was busy and smiled: "Brother-in-law, you are afraid that I will study this thing!" I'm not so bored, immortality is the work of those delusional people, I just want to know the results of this person's research, study his technology, maybe I can find something that can solve the situation that I can't solve now! ”

Wu Yu looked at Yu Chen: "Really? You won't study this thing? ”

Yu Chen nodded: "Definitely not, because I have a record of this thing at home, but it's not complete, I have learned a lot after reading the incomplete record!" The Burning World Fire I used just now was learned from this. ”

As soon as he mentioned the Burning World True Fire Wu Yu suddenly came to his senses, because he had seen that kind of brilliant and handsome move with his own eyes, and he also planned to learn it well.

Thinking of this, Wu Yu continued to translate: "After several years of research and personal experiments, Daoist Yuehong found that before and after the folding of life, the only change is the cohesion of his soul. After observing other people and the livestock of immortal cultivators, it was found that what affected the lifespan was the amount of this soul-condensing power. The cohesion of the soul of the newborn child is very weak, so there will be a phenomenon of the child losing the soul, and as the person grows older, this power will reach its peak when the person reaches the age of thirty-five, and then it will slowly weaken. ”

Wu Yu unconsciously began to become interested in this set of theories, swallowed his saliva and then translated: "And by exercising, taking some tonics, and carrying out Taoist Buddhism, the intensity of this power can be increased. Moreover, animal immortal cultivation is the same as human cultivation, it is to increase this power of condensing the soul in order to be immortal. ”

Wu Yu subconsciously took a few deep breaths: "So that you can live a long life?" ”

Yu Chen glanced at him: "After reading it first, I'll explain it to you little by little." ”

Wu Yu let out an 'oh' sound: "However, the growth rate of this condensed soul power is very slow, so Daoist Yuehong thought of a way." If you can break up the soul of the immortal cultivator, and then scatter the soul of a person, and recombine the two souls and put them into one body, will it increase the cohesion of the soul, so as to achieve the goal of immortality? ”

Wu Yu couldn't believe the words on the wall, even if he could really break up and recombine the souls of people and animals, but if he wanted to get one body, wouldn't this person have two souls in one body?

Yu Chen seemed to see Wu Yu's question: "Brother-in-law, the soul is just a carrier of memory, and the scientific explanation is human bioelectricity." Human beings can withstand a certain amount of electric shocks, and they can also withstand a certain amount of souls in the same body, but the number cannot be too much, once the number is too large, people will not be able to withstand this power and die. Another premise is that the soul must be completely detached, otherwise once a soul carries resentment, it will become a ghost. The so-called ghost upper body is a soul with resentment or obsession attached to the body of a living person, and these souls with resentment or obsession are often more cohesive than the soul of a living person, which will produce the effect of a powerful soul occupying the body and controlling the mind. These theories were first studied by this Yuehong Taoist. ”

Wu Yu nodded as if he didn't understand: "All the translations here have been completed, I didn't expect that someone would study a set of theories about these ghosts and gods!" ”

Yu Chen turned his head to look at the wall on the right and said, "Brother-in-law, then translate here." But as soon as the words came out, he froze, and saw that there were four big traditional Chinese characters written on the wall on the right, because he had read his own theory in this area, although Yu Chen didn't recognize most of the traditional characters, but he recognized these four words. Because of his surprise, Yu Chen couldn't help but read it out silently: "Burning the world is really hot!" ”
