Chapter 171: Moon Phases

I looked at Xie Nanhua and felt that he didn't seem to be joking, so I said respectfully: "Please ask Brother Xie to solve the question." ”

"Your name is Feng Ziwang?" He asked me.

I nodded.

"Are you a fragrant boy from the Northeast Horse Fairy?" Xie Nanhua asked.

I said embarrassedly: "I do have an old fairy in me, but I haven't officially opened my mouth yet." ”

Xie Nanhua suddenly asked, "Do you know the origin of this jade gourd on your body?" ”

I took it out and looked at it, thought about it and said, "This is given to me by Sister Xiaoxue, and I didn't explain the origin." There is a word 'Qi' on the back of the gourd, and I think this thing originally belonged to a person surnamed Qi, but why Sister Xiaoxue gave it to me, I really don't know. ”

Xie Nanhua sighed: "Sure enough, everything is in the fateful law." You answer my question first, and then I'll tell you why this gourd is in your hands. ”

I looked at him suspiciously, and then at the girl named Little Meow. The name of Xiao Meow, I think it must be a pseudonym, I don't know what the origin of this girl is, and what is the relationship between Nanhua and reconcile.

Xie Nanhua said: "Just now my brother and I saw a couplet outside, do you remember?" ”

I nodded and said yes.

"Test your memory, tell me." He asked me to recite the couplet.

I thought about it for a moment and said, "All water is everywhere in January, and all water is taken in January." ”

"Not bad, what do you mean?" Xie Nanhua asked.

This stumped me, and I thought for a moment and said, "I can't explain it if it's too deep, so I'll just say it literally." ”

"Say whatever you want." Xie Nanhua Road.

I said, "That's how I understand it, at night, when the sky is covered with a bright moon, this moon will shine on all the water on the earth, and a moon will be reflected in every surface of the water, the moon in the water." Don't look at the fact that there are so many water moons, they all exist because of a real moon in the sky, so they are called January Domination. Everything was taken in January. ”

Xie Nanhua showed a smile on his face: "It's a little interesting." You take out the gourd. ”

Xie Nanhua asked me to look at the front of the gourd and asked me what the words were on it. I told him that it was written in traditional Chinese for "the world".

Xie Nanhua nodded: "The name of 'Great Thousand Worlds' is not written casually, let me tell you the origin of these four words, according to legend, under the eighteenth layer of hell, there is a magical area, where there are a thousand lakes, and a lake is a world, which is the so-called Great World." ”

I suddenly realized something: "Everything is taken in ...... month of the month"

Xie Nanhua laughed: "The son is teachable, and he can draw inferences." The worlds of these lakes reflect the same true moon, and in each world there is a moon in the water, which is the phase of the true moon. ”

I shook my head, "I don't understand. The true moon in the Infernal Hell? What is that, it's definitely not the real moon. ”

Xie Nanhua nodded: "Feng Ziwang, you are very smart. The real moonlight does not shine on hell, and the so-called "true moon" here refers to an unspeakable thing, whether it is a person or a thing, I can't tell you, because even I don't know. ”

"Brother Xie, I don't understand, what does the origin of this gourd have to do with me, is it from the world?" I asked.

Xie Nanhua said: "You come with me." ”

The girl, named Little Meow, pushed his wheelchair into the depths of the main hall. I had a stomach full of questions and followed behind.

There is a secret door behind the main hall, which opens to a deep corridor. Enter the hallway, and there is a room at the end. Xiao Meow opened the door, and inside was a large transparent room, similar to a big car shop a long time ago, from the door to the end of the wall, there were two large rows of beds one by one, with an aisle in the middle.

In each bed is a person on a ventilator, with tubes all over their bodies, and their own machines monitor the heartbeat. There are two medical staff in the room who are checking the monitoring data from bed to bed and registering.

"Here?" I wonder.

Xie Nanhua said: "I named this room the Long Dream House, and everyone you see now is asleep, in the long dream. ”

"I don't understand." I shook my head and said. These people lying on the bed don't look like they're sleeping, but more like they're seriously ill and unconscious, on the verge of dying.

Xiao Meow pushed Xie Nanhua to a bed, on which lay a young man, probably less than thirty years old, wearing a ventilator, with his eyes closed, I don't know if he was in a coma or asleep.

Xie Nanhua said: "His name is Xiao Wang, after graduating from college, he joined a large software company, working overtime all day long, he is not good at taking care of life, he is hungry at work, he calls takeout, and at the end of the year, when he is busy, he even has to stay up all night to catch up with work, one day he went to the toilet and suddenly fainted, and was sent to the hospital by his colleagues, and after examination, it was found that it was already an advanced stage of liver cancer. There is no cure for this disease in the world, and it was finally sent here by his family. ”

I was full of suspicions, but I was still listening quietly, I knew that Xie Nanhua would not talk about some useless things without a purpose. Looking at this young man, I was in a trance, what is the purpose of this life.

Xie Nanhua said: "My place is called the Long Dream House, and the people who are sent here will enter the state of long dreams under a strange method. This dream is not another dream, all the memories in the long dream are clear and audible, everything touches and feels all emotions, and the feelings in the real world are almost the same, which is equivalent to another life. And there are no nightmares in this long dream, every one of them is a sweet dream, and the time in the dream will be extremely long, in reality, one day is about a month in the long dream. ”

I suddenly understood something: "Brother Xie, do you mean that these people are equivalent to prolonging their lives in this way?" ”

Xie Nanhua looked at me, smiled and said, "Yes." He looked at the young man on the hospital bed: "It's another world, and they are reincarnated as human beings in another world." ”

"That's good." I said, "Although this method cannot cure the disease, it prolongs the life of the patient and is painless, so it should be actively promoted." ”

Xie Nanhua shook his head: "They are not really reborn in a dream, just a dream, he will wake up two or three times a day, and the pain in his body will pull him back from the dream to reality." And one day, he will still die. ”

"I see," I said, "when I enter the dream, the body is still in reality, the body's needs and feelings are still there, eating, drinking, and supplementing food." When the body sends a signal, they still have to wake up from the dream and face reality. ”

Xie Nanhua nodded: "Yes, and there is another important reason why it cannot be promoted, this strange method is only known to Xiao Meow." ”

I looked at this short-haired girl and was taken aback, I didn't expect her to be so powerful.

Little meow gave me a good impression, she came out to feed the cat and protect the birds, and in the main hall to meditate on the Buddha, the girl looks clean and refreshing, gentle and lovely, I didn't expect it to be so evil to the weird method.

Little Meow smiled at me.

Xie Nanhua said: "And this method can overdraw the good fortune of the dreamer, and indulging in dreams is indulging in delusion." Wine is the pulp, delusion is the norm, and it is the way of chaos. If you think about it, this method really wants to be promoted, everyone can be satisfied in their dreams, and in reality, all kinds of cruelty are even more unbearable, and indulging in this way is like indulging in drugs and unable to extricate themselves. “

I smiled: "The situation you mentioned now exists, many young people play games in Internet cafes, or play games with their mobile phones, and they play for a night, upgrading their equipment to fight monsters and fight, isn't this just delusional." ”

Xie Nanhua looked at the sleeping patients in the entire room: "So, this method is like morphine, it can only be used by people who need it very much, hoping to alleviate their pain before they die." ”

Somehow, I had an idea and thought of a whimsical question: "Brother Xie, you just said that the world is under the underworld of the underworld, the eighteen hells, so the underworld is real." If there really is a netherworld, then your method of long-dreaming delays the suffering of the seriously ill and prolongs their dying, is this considered a fight against death and against the underworld? ”

Xie Nanhua smiled, he turned his neck dryly, and said to Xiao Meow: "You tell him, where are you from?" ”

Little Meow looked at me and said calmly, "I'm from the underworld." ”

"Huh?" I was taken aback, and my mouth was wide open.

Xie Nanhua said: "Little Meow is from one of the worlds in the world. It is okay to say that she is the messenger of Infernal Hell. ”

I looked at this girl, probably psychologically, and felt chills all over my body.

Xie Nanhua said: "There will be a reflected moon phase in the lake of the world, let me tell you, Xiao Meow is one of the moon phases in the world, she came to our yang world, just to find her true moon." ”
