Chapter 18: Philosophical Questions
Zhao Thief lowered his eyelashes, glanced at the person in front of him, and then bowed his head in response, looking calm, as if he really came here aimlessly.
Yan Yun laughed and said: "Then let's go, there are so many people today, fortunately, Xiao Zhou thought thoughtfully and booked the place in advance." He wore a blazer on his arm, the first two buttons of his white shirt were unbuttoned, revealing a delicate and flawless neck, no sweat at all on his smooth forehead, half-length black hair tied back his head, and a few strands of broken hair hanging from his sideburns.
Zhao took another look at him, and he didn't know if he was hot or not. The tourists who came and went around were holding all kinds of heatstroke prevention equipment in their hands, and they were still sweating and shouting.
"Do you want this?" Yan Yunkai took out a talisman from his pocket, "The people of Baiyunguan gave it away, and it will be cool if you put it close to you." ”
"No, you don't." Zhao didn't feel hot.
You You and Zhou Yi had already walked in front, and seeing that they were still in ink, You You couldn't help urging: "You two, what can't you say when you are chatting at night?" ”
After the passers-by around them cast their eyes, Yan Yunkai didn't care, sneered, and teased back casually: "Some words, of course, are more feeling in broad daylight." ”
Zhou Yi silently looked up at the sky, pretending not to know them.
Not far away, under the tree, the Singaporean Taoist priest waited for his companion and turned to leave.
Zhao Jiaoji noticed him walking away, turned his head slightly, glanced at the back of the Taoist priest calmly, and then withdrew his gaze and followed Yan Yunkai into a restaurant.
There were also a lot of people in the restaurant, but fortunately, Zhou Yi booked a private room, and the menu rotated in front of everyone when ordering, and finally it was Yan Yunkai's turn. He looked at the dishes in front of him, Zhou Yi didn't like sweet, Zhao didn't eat spicy, and You You wasn't picky. He chose two home-cooked dishes at random, crossed out the tick that You You had typed behind the beer, and ordered a new pot of cucumber juice before handing the menu to the waiter.
Several people never had the rule of eating without saying a word, but were accustomed to chatting while eating, Zhao was very serious when eating, and didn't say a word, Yan Yunkai didn't know if he was listening to them.
Yan Yunkai actually has a bit of a strong part of his personality, he is used to controlling the overall situation, and he will take care of his colleagues and friends thoughtfully on weekdays. When everyone eats together, he will subconsciously pay attention to everyone, and if there are friends who are not good at words, he will try to make the other party feel that he is not left out.
Although Zhao Piaoji may not need to be taken care of, but because of habit, he still put down his chopsticks, poured a cup of cucumber juice for Zhao Piaoji, and asked casually: "This trip to Qingcheng Mountain, you really didn't gain anything?" ”
Zhao Thief raised his eyes slightly, and said lightly: "I'm not sure yet." ”
"Oh? Up in the air? Yan Yunkai was a little surprised, "That's about to find a clue?" ”
Zhao Pirate was not happy, and still said: "I'm not sure yet." ”
You You said to Yan Yunkai: "Don't ask too much, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, in case the real bamboo basket comes to the end, your attention can give people a lot of pressure." ”
"......" Yan Yunkai was stunned, stunned for a moment, shook his head with a light smile, "What pressure can he have, in the past few months in Beijing, he still eats and sleeps, I doubt that he doesn't care about his past at all, and I haven't seen him in a hurry." ”
Zhao Thief calmly sandwiched a chopstick of green vegetables, he cared about his past, but he was not in a hurry.
You You complained: "Brother Zhao is in a hurry, people are thousands of years old, when you are reincarnated, maybe he is still slowly pursuing himself." ”
"Yes, this kind of thing is not an exam, there is no time to submit papers, Brother Zhao is looking for it slowly, not in a hurry, enjoying life is the most important thing." Zhou Yi said with relief.
Yan Yunkai rarely disagreed with these two people, or for a matter that the main owner did not express his opinion, he felt funny, nodded again and again, and said helplessly: "Okay, okay, don't worry." I'm curious, I've lived together for a few months, and I don't even know what he is......"
Zhao raised his head subtly.
"I don't even know where you are." Yan Yunkai changed his words with kindness.
You You was full and began to talk nonsense: "Who am I, where am I from, where am I going, this is a philosophical question." All human lives, we are searching for answers to our questions. But at the same time, these questions are the most boring, Zhao is Zhao Zhao, but it can not be Zhao, he can be Li and Zhang. Maybe in the past thousands of years, he has had countless identities, but after all, it is him, if you change your name, he is still him, and if you change your body, he will still be him. So, all you have to do is know who this person is in front of you at this moment. ”
Zhou Yi said as if he was complimentary: "It makes sense." ”
You You made a magic stick, pretending to be mysterious: "Where do I come from?" Everything in the world is born from being, and some are born from nothing. Tao begets one, one begets two, two begets three, and three begets all things. Therefore, tracing back to the source, we all come from "being". Where are you going? Naturally, I am looking for the way, I come from nothingness, and I will eventually return to nothingness. In the words of the Buddha, it is to come from where you come and go to where you go. ”
Zhou Yi praised: "Who said it wasn't." But when you say this, the audience doesn't like to watch it, and they think you cheat the number of words. ”
You You: "I'm a Taoist priest, I'll talk about what's wrong with the Taoist scriptures!" To put it simply, if you want to live happily, you should think less about these empty heads! ”
Zhou Yi: "That's right. ”
You You asked: "Do you know who can dig this kind of question the most profoundly apart from philosophers?" ”
Zhou Yi: "Who?" ”
You You: "The spies upstairs in our unit are too good during interrogation, and the three generations of ancestors can be dug up in minutes." ”
Zhou Yi: "Ho! So powerful! ”
You You: "No, I sneaked up to play that day......"
So the topic was pulled up to 800 miles away.
Yan Yunkai couldn't say a word, turned his head to look at Zhao Thief, who was eating with his head down, and chuckled, and concentrated on eating.
After eating and drinking, Zhou Yi took out a bottle of sunscreen from his backpack and handed it to You You, who handed it to Yan Yunkai after wiping it.
Yan Yunkai squeezed a little on the back of his hand and began to replenish the sunscreen, although the rune paper can cool off, but it can't resist ultraviolet rays. After painting, he turned on the front camera of his phone and confirmed that it was evenly applied before putting down his phone and getting up to check out.
Zhou Yi never used this kind of thing, and asked before putting away the sunscreen: "Brother Zhao or?" ”
Zhao Pirate refused without hesitation.
In the afternoon, Zhao Thief no longer acted alone, and followed Yan Yunkai and them around. On the first day of the Taoist Cultural Festival, Qingcheng Mountain was peaceful, no foreign forces were making trouble, and local forces were also safe. Pilgrims from all over the world gather here to experience the traditional Jiao ritual of Daomen.
There are a total of thirteen mandalas, they have not all visited, the economic orchestras in various places have their own characteristics, and the three Taoist youths listened to it with relish, and finally walked to the Tianshi Cave halfway up the mountain. There is a demon altar here, the main method is the Jiangxi Heavenly Master's Mansion, Yan Yunkai chatted with a Gao Gong he knew, and when he saw that the time was not early, he said goodbye and went down the mountain.
That night, after dinner, they made an appointment to fight the landlord in the Zhao thief machine room.
At seven o'clock, Yan Yunkai received a video invitation on his mobile phone, he threw out a pair, leaned forward and took out his mobile phone from under the coat that was put aside, and agreed to the video invitation.
"Good evening, the Demon Committee is interrogating the murderer of the corpse mutiny, I think you will be happy to know about the process." Kelsang Langjie's voice came from his phone.
Zhou Yi was speechless: "Have you eaten the confidentiality regulations?" Is this something that can be streamed casually? ”
"Whatever." Gesang said, "Anyway, you also have access to the interrogation room's surveillance, and it can be viewed from any channel." Hey, what are you doing? ”
Yan Yunkai put the mobile phone on the mobile phone shelf, put it on the side of the coffee table, and continued to fight the landlord. Zhao Pirate was watching the game from the sidelines, and was not interested in the case, but when he heard an unfamiliar voice speaking, he glanced up and saw a bald lama, guessing that it was also a colleague from the ninth department, so he lowered his head indifferently and continued to look at the game.
Kelsang Langjie stood behind a large one-way glass window, the camera pointed inside, and plugged something similar to a headset into the phone's headphone jack so that the person on the other side of the video could also hear the voices in the interrogation room.
You You: "Yes." ”
Zhou Yi: "Don't." ”
Yan Yunkai: "Shunzi." ”
An old voice came from the mobile phone, transmitted to this end through electromagnetic waves, a little distorted, but the vicissitudes of the voice were still clearly heard: "...... She is my love. In 1967, she died. I am a warlock and once got a dragon scale from my father. I used the aura in that dragon scale to keep her original appearance, and I wanted to bring her back to life. ”
"How did she die?" In the interrogation room, someone asked.
The old voice smiled strangely, sarcastically, and did not answer.
"Answer my question!"
"The men put their hands on her shoulders and forced her to kneel in front of everyone to admit her mistakes, they humiliated her and tortured her......"
Yan Yunkai turned his head and glanced at the mobile phone screen, there was an old man sitting in the interrogation room on the other side of the video, he originally lowered his head, but he just raised his head at this time, looking resentful and disgusted with the world: "She was forced to die, she was forced to die!" ”
"Ten years of darkness......" Yan Yunkai muttered.
Kelsang Langjie adds: "The female zombie's name is Wen Juan, and before 1967, she was teaching in a middle school. It seems that because of some things that happened in that era, she was unjustly killed. This old man's name is Liu Jinhua, and he is Wen Juan's husband. ”
The people in the interrogation room were also silent for a while, and asked, "Wen Juan has become a zombie, do you think this is also alive?" ”
"Something must have gone wrong!" Liu Jinhua suddenly became excited, "I've been waiting for so many years, she's actually, actually ......" said, trembling uncontrollably, "She actually doesn't remember me!" ”
Gesang Langjie said: "Ordinary zombies have no autonomous consciousness, and Wen Juan obviously hasn't cultivated consciousness yet. ”
"You killed five people with the intention of turning them into zombies, do you admit it?"
The old man also repeated in a confused voice: "She doesn't remember me, I've waited for so many years, I'm old, she actually ......"
The three people who were fighting the landlord put down the cards in their hands and looked up at the video.
The old man in the video has gray hair, Xu has committed murder, his face is not very good, and his body is filled with a dead air.
After waiting for a long time, when he calmed down a little, the staff asked again: "You murdered several lives and intended to turn them into zombies, yes or no?" ”
"It's just that I can't pay for the lives of those people's dogs, but I want the lives of their children and grandchildren." Liu Jinhua sneered, "I want to use their yang energy to restore myself to the appearance I used to be, Wen Juan must not recognize me because I am getting older." I'm going to turn them into zombies, make them into puppets, and they can't be reincarnated in their lifetimes! ”
Perhaps in his heart, the old man who was about to die was also desperate. He confessed to all his crimes. When approaching Liu Yang, he disguised himself as a cleaner in a bar, and when approaching other victims, he also pretended to be vulnerable elderly people, and he used his identity as elderly people to ask for help, using their kindness to get close and take the lives of these young people.
He didn't feel guilty, he even felt the thrill of revenge, enjoying the madness of pulling the hated man to hell with him.
"He's obscure." Zhou Yi frowned, disagreeing with this way.
You Yi nodded: "He can make the descendants of the enemy remorse, shame, and shame the sins committed by their grandparents, but he can't...... Alas, the way of heaven will settle merits and sins in the dark. ”
Yan Yunkai watched the video with joy or sadness, the causal entanglement is still messy, is the way of heaven really clear? He suddenly had such a question.
At the signal of Kelsang Langjie, the people in the interrogation room continued to ask, "Do you know the origin of that dragon scale?" ”
Liu Jinhua said tiredly: "My grandfather got it from a weasel. ”
No wonder the file says that the weasel picked up two dragon scales, but only one in the evidence bag.
The staff asked some more questions, and the next questions involved a lot of details, Yan Yunkai didn't need them to know, so they hung up the video.
Yan Yunkai asked Zhao Thief: "During the video last night, you said that the zombie ...... Wen Juan wants to die? ”
"She wanted to take off the dragon scales, thinking that the mandala would allow her to reincarnate." Zhao said calmly, "She is conscious. ”
