Chapter 558: Next Stop, Guangzhou
I probably guessed the meaning of this sentence, but I still deliberately went to the wall to believe something, so I lowered my head and didn't look at Wu Lin's eyes.
To be honest, I was a little scared to see Wu Lin, afraid that in the near future, I would become as cold as him, and every time he appeared in front of me, I always felt that the distance between me and him was a little closer.
Although I don't want to admit it, I know that since the day I met him, I have gradually detached myself from this world, and the biggest difference between me and him is that he has already died, and I still hold on to the last straw, unwilling to let myself sink.
"That Rausch quadruple space has nothing to do with me!"
This is what I often say to myself in my heart, and later I found that the more I say this, the tighter the distance between me and the quadruple space, first Li Huaishan was parasited by Shezihua, on the way to find the boundary of yin and yang, almost all the evidence I came into contact with showed that this so-called dividing line originally did not belong to the world in front of me, it may be in a corner of the quadruple space, and then it was the experience of exploring the secret of Savage Mountain, which made me enter the third stage that survivors must go through in advance, and today, I've finally seen the power of this stage.
It was as if a force was forcing me forward, and with each step, I was closer to the secrets of the quadruple dimension, and I tried to fight back, but it was like a person pulling at his hair and trying to pull himself off the ground, gritting his teeth but unable to do anything.
Wu Lin's voice interrupted my thoughts: "How many have you seen?" ”
I knew what he was referring to, let out a long sigh and said, "Three." ”
Hearing me say this, Wu Lin seemed to become a little more relaxed: "You are stronger than me, I saw six at that time." ”
Li Huaishan frowned, looked at me, and then at Wu Lin, with a puzzled expression: "You two, what are you talking about?" ”
Wu Lin ignored him, and just asked me, "Are you afraid?" ”
I nodded: "I'm afraid, I'm afraid." I've probably never been so scared as I was last night. ”
"I thought the same as you," Wu Lin took out a cigar from his bosom, and put his other hand into his trouser pocket, as if searching for something, and he said to me as he made this gesture: "It was a long time before I realized that what I saw that night was actually the deepest fear in my heart." ”
I lifted my eyelids to look at his face, "What do you mean?" ”
Wu Lin finally found his own lighter, lit it, and took a moment to light the cigar before he continued: "The thing that everyone fears the most in their hearts is actually themselves. Just like when you look in the mirror in the middle of the night, if you stand in front of the mirror for a long time and face yourself in the mirror at this moment when there is no noise at all, you will always feel inexplicable fear. ”
I waved my hand: "I don't want to discuss these dogmatic things with you. Wu Lin, tell me, why do you know what happened to me? ”
He took a puff of his cigarette, let the smoke echo in his mouth for a short while, and then slowly exhaled it: "Because you are the same as me, I accept this reality, so I can feel what is happening to you, but you have been fighting against reality, so what happened to me, you can't feel it." ”
Even today, I don't quite understand what he meant by that.
Later, Wu Lin said to me that now we have all entered the third stage, and the fourth stage is not far from us.
I asked the same question I had asked at Savage Mountain: "What happens when you get to Stage 4?" ”
Wu Lin held the cigar in his left hand and pondered for a long time before speaking: "Either become a part of the fourfold space, or become the god who created the world." ”
That did sound like a bit of, and he didn't say that last time.
I stared at Wu Lin, but he didn't look at me, his eyes stayed on the fire on the top of the cigar, and it was after a long silence that he spoke again: "The old pedant said that after becoming a survivor, he will go through three stages of 'evolution' of auditory hallucinations, visual hallucinations, and touch hallucinations, I should be right, he seems to have used this word at that time." But he didn't say what the survivors would become after going through these three stages, only telling me that by that time, I might become a part of the quadruple dimension, and I might open up new horizons. ”
I stared into his eyes and asked, "Is this the truth?" ”
Wu Lin twitched the corners of his mouth and said lightly: "Now that the matter is over, I have no reason to hide it from you anymore." ”
After saying this, he seemed to feel that his wording was not appropriate, and turned his head to Li Huaishan and said, "There is no reason to hide it from you anymore." ”
I said, "How much of what you said to me before was true?" ”
"Most of it is true."
I slapped my thigh and stood up from the stone pier.
Wu Lin spat out a puff of smoke and asked beside me, "When are you going to Guangzhou?" ”
I took a deep breath and asked him, "The tooth card in your hand was also given to you by that old pedant?" ”
Wu Lin took out the sign from his pocket, the dark red on it was slowly fading, and it was estimated that it would not be long before it would return to ivory whiteness.
Wu Lin has been staring at that thing, he hasn't spoken for a long time, his appearance today is indeed a little weird, like he is about to break off from drinking, every time you ask him a question, he has to be silent for a long time before he speaks.
However, Li Huaishan and I didn't urge, just waited for him quietly on the side.
was also silent for a long time, and Wu Lin finally spoke: "Do you remember the black copper cup?" ”
"Of course I remember, if Zhang Dayou hadn't put that thing in the thrift store, I wouldn't have known you."
Wu Lin shook his head: "Whether you will meet me or not, it has nothing to do with Zhang Dayou, even if there is no him, the black copper cup will fall into your hands, and I will definitely go to you." This tooth card used to be hidden in the black copper cup, and after it fell into my hands, the old scholar came to the door to find me, just as I had gone to look for you. But you're not the same as me, and I'm not the same as him. ”
Li Huaishan couldn't hold himself back a little: "No, I said Wu Lin, can you stop talking this kind of nonsense all the time, making people confused." ”
Wu Lin really didn't pay attention to him, but just said to me: "A long time ago, I didn't believe in fate, but since I met the old scholar and met you, I realized that many things have their own providence in the dark. ”
What he said today was really uncomfortable, and I tried to change the subject: "Where did you find the black copper cup?" ”
Wu Lin put away the tooth tag and said, "That thing was handed down by our ancestors. ”
"Your ancestor? Aren't you an orphan? ”
Hearing my words, Wu Lin frowned fiercely, and then turned the topic to go to Guangzhou: "When are you going to Guangzhou?" ”
For me, this guy himself is an unsolvable mystery, you can't see through him, let alone guess his mind, and every time you want to get to know him better, he will be blocked from afar.
I stood face to face with Wu Lin, I observed him with the eyes of observing the darkness, but the eyes he gave me were very extremely vigilant and spired, this kind of look was deliberately made, he wanted to tell me, about him, don't ask too much, no matter how much you ask, he won't say.
Forget it, if you don't say it, don't say it.
In the end, I relented first and responded to him: "I still have a little business to deal with here, and when the matter is done, let's leave." ”
Wu Lin has no objection to this.
Then I took out my mobile phone and called Du Kang's phone, not meaning anything else, but I just wanted him to ask the Long family if he could make a special trip to help me send the tiger's wife to Bohai Bay.
Du Kang heard what I was saying, and asked me if I didn't plan to go back to Bohai Bay, so I told him about going to Guangzhou, and he murmured on the phone for a while, saying that he would contact the people of the Long family, and as for whether they would come or not, he couldn't say for sure.
As for the matter in Guangzhou, Du Kang didn't ask any more questions.
Like Wu Lin, Du Kang is also a little incomprehensible, but I can understand some of Du Kang's strange behaviors, because I have a bad identity, I can interfere in many things in the industry, and my affairs, people in the industry try not to ask about it.
When I was traveling abroad, in addition to Hu Nanqian and Zhang Zhenren, I also came into contact with a lot of colleagues, these people are the same as Du Kang, when they talk to me, they are also secretive, a lot of information can not be disclosed to me, they will never say more than half a word, most of my affairs, they also seem indifferent to most of them.
In fact, I can also vaguely feel that in the eyes of these people, I seem to be a huge trouble, and I can't talk to each other, so I can only stay away.
At this point, Du Kang's apprentice is a special case.
Not long after the phone call with Du Kang, he sent a text message, saying that the people of the Long family were willing to help, and asked me where I planned to send Lao Hu's wife.
I replied that the family had opened a nursing home in Bohai Bay, and that the place was usually empty and clean enough that the madwoman could be temporarily placed there.
Du Kang said, since the people of the Long family are willing to come, there is no need for me to work in the village, if I want to go to Guangzhou, I should set off as soon as possible.
Since he said so, I didn't delay any longer, packed up my things that afternoon, left Guizhou with Li Huaishan and Wu Lin, and went straight to Guangzhou.
But when I drove the car onto the road, I suddenly felt a dilemma.
In his letter, my father only said that Buzhoushan sent people to Guangzhou to find a medium, but he didn't say where the medium was.
The so-called spiritual medium, in fact, is those who can communicate with ghosts and gods, among these people, some are born to see spirits, and some are used to communicate with ghosts with the help of acquired practice, and in our industry, but anyone who has a little Taoism can basically be channeled, plus the spiritual medium is mixed with some ordinary people who have not cultivated, the number is even greater.
