Chapter 63: The Ghost Strikes the Wall (2)
Seeing the rocks and cliffs ahead, I realized that we were back where we had come down!
Maybe we just walked forward and didn't notice the change in bearing, so we returned to the same place, and everyone didn't feel very surprised, but we just felt that we had taken a wrong road!
Li Da Shallot, who was walking in the forefront, saw that the situation in front of him seemed to be a little abnormal, his expression seemed a little panicked, it was obvious that he was afraid of something!
"I said, Brother Green Onion, you spared us just to bring us back here? I see you've been doing things a lot differently lately! The monkey coughed twice and then said, "Look at your black head and black ears, black glasses, black nose and black paws, isn't it ......?" ā
The monkey stopped halfway through his words, and looked at him, as if he wanted to say something but didn't continue, as if he was thinking about something.
And I also heard what he said just now, and I still understand the first half of the paragraph, but how can he talk about it and pull on some black eyes and black nose!
At first glance, I see, eh, this plum green onion seems to be quite dark!
I was about to ask the monkey, but I saw the monkey yelling at Li Da Green again, but Li Da Green did not respond, he stared at the gravel pile in front of him and the road we just walked behind from time to time, there was an indescribable mystery in his eyes!
The monkey seemed to be about to ask him again, but when he saw Li Da Green suddenly turn around and walk towards the darkness in front of him, he immediately said, "Follow me!" ā
The tone of his speech was very tough, and he unconsciously gave people a sense of intimidation, making everyone feel that they had to obey.
Li Da Cong only said these four words and walked into the darkness without looking back, he didn't say it a second time, and he didn't look back to see if we could keep up.
"Follow him!"
After Cai Changsheng suddenly screamed, he quickly chased after him, and everyone had the urge to follow, but now that the captain spoke again, there was no need to hesitate.
Immediately, everyone chased after him, only the monkey pestle did not move, and he saw that his eyes were standing with a clear expression, and his brows were furrowed, as if he was thinking about something.
I walked up to the monkey and bumped him on the shoulder: "What, you're not going to follow?" ā
When the monkey heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and his brows furrowed even tighter: "Don't you think this Li green onion...... Questions! ā
I was stunned for a moment, and it turned out that he was pondering this.
"Well, there's a problem!" I said casually: "Before, it was a big grin, but now it is a mysterious and unpredictable city!" That's just my personal feeling, but everyone else should have noticed it a long time ago! ā
The monkey sighed and asked, "What do you think...... What causes this? ā
I was stunned for a moment when I heard this, and then said: "I don't know, but his change is relative to the last time he looked in the mirror!" Could it really be that mirror that is doing the trick? ā
After I finished speaking, I glanced at the people in front of me again, and saw that they had already walked out dozens of meters away, and only a few faint points of light and scattered figures could be seen in the darkness.
I then said to the monkey: "I said, let's put this problem first, and the key is to catch up first, if you lose it later, you will suffer!" ā
I patted the monkey on the shoulder and was about to leave, but as soon as I stepped out of the country, he grabbed me, and I was startled and asked, "What's wrong?" ā
"I deliberately didn't follow just now, just to separate you from them!" The monkey said in a low voice.
When I heard it, I was stunned: "You...... What do you mean? ā
"It's inconvenient to say something in front of other people," the monkey paused and continued, "Don't you think that this Li Da Green Onion has been acting in the mirror since that time...... Much like a person! ā
"Like a person?" I listened to the heart of the unconsciously chuckled, I suddenly remembered the previous when he asked Li Da Shallot, the second half of the words I did not understand at this moment but again in my ears, suddenly, I had a flash of inspiration in my mind, and suddenly understood what he meant: "You mean, this Li Green Onion ......"
"Shh......h
I was about to say what I was guessing, but I was stopped by a pat on the shoulder, and he made a gesture to keep me quiet!
"How...... What's wrong? I couldn't help but ask, unconsciously nervous by him.
"Just now, I saw it too...... That dark shadow! ā
"Huh? Where is it? As soon as I heard this, the cold hairs all over my body stood up.
"Right behind you! Right now...... It's gone! The monkey whispered, "That thing...... Track us! ā
"What the hell is it, do you see clearly?"
"No, it's just a dark shadow!" After the monkey finished speaking, he patted me on the shoulder again: "Hurry up and keep up with them!" ā
After the monkey had finished speaking, he urged me to hurry away, and I did not dare to stay longer, so I ran forward with him, and as I ran, the monkey told me a few more words, and he told me not to tell the others about our conversation, and he said that this is the ...... There may be ghosts!
Since the crowd hadn't gone far, we ran three or two times before catching up, the distance was so short that I didn't have time to discuss more of his guesses with the monkey, and I didn't know what the "ghost" he was referring to.
After catching up with the crowd, the monkey immediately gave me another look, he was reminding me of what he had just told me, and I understood it at a glance, and then gave him a look back.
When the monkey heard this, he immediately made up a reason, saying that he had gone with me to pee, and when they heard it, they didn't ask again.
Then we walked in one direction for a while, and though I don't know where we were going, at least I knew that we were going in the opposite direction from where we had just come down. In order not to lose our way, Wen Chengyu and I both took out the compass to make sure that we did not change direction, but kept moving forward.
An hour later, a huge black shadow finally appeared again in the darkness ahead, and when I walked in, I saw the pile of rocks and cliffs again, and we ...... It's back!
The monkey understood this when he saw it, and immediately shouted, "Hey, I said, it's not right, why did we go around again!" ā
"This place...... It's wicked! Huang Shaoze sighed and said, "It seems that we are in trouble!" ā
"What's the trouble?" I immediately asked.
Huang Shaoze paused and then said: "There are clouds in the Book of Changes: the cycle is also round, let's ...... It's trapped! ā
"In the end...... What does it mean? I asked.
Huang Shaoze paused and said, "We ran into ...... Ghost hits the wall! ā
"What is a ghost hitting a wall? Why does it sound so frightening! The monkey asked.
Huang Shaoze said: "Regarding the statement that ghosts hit the wall, I have specifically checked some information, and I have some newspaper clippings of the information found at that time, you can take a look for yourself if you are interested!" Huang Shaoze said and took out a stack of things from his bag.
Except for Li Da Shallot, everyone else seemed to be particularly interested in this ghost hitting the wall, and immediately surrounded them.
Ghost hitting the wall, also known as ghost wall, ghost retaining wall, is traditionally a folk saying that you get lost on the road alone at night or in the suburbs and cemeteries. That is, when walking at night or in the suburbs, I can't tell the direction, my self-perception is blurred, and I don't know where to go, so I always go in circles. When you tell others about such an experience, it is difficult for others to understand, so it is called "ghost hitting the wall", which is actually a hazy state of human consciousness.
So how is this phenomenon caused, in fact, biology already has a clear answer. There is such a real yĆ n, blindfold a wild duck, and then throw it into the sky, and it will start flying, but if it is an open sky, you will find that it must fly out of a circle.
In the same way, if you blindfold yourself and walk in a straight line on the school playground with your own feelings, you will eventually find that you are walking in a big circle.
In a word, the essence of biological motion is circular motion. If there is no goal, the instinctive movement of any living being is a circle.
Why? Because there are subtle differences in the body structure of living things, such as the wings of birds, there are subtle differences in the strength and muscular development of the two wings. There are also differences in the length and strength of people's two legs, and the distance of the steps taken in this way will be different, for example, the distance of the left leg is long, and the distance of the right leg is short.
But why do living things move in a straight line, for example, why do people walk in a straight line? Because we are constantly correcting the direction with our eyes, that is, our brains are doing positioning and correction, constantly correcting our gaps, so we go in a straight line.
When you encounter a ghost hitting the wall, you must have lost your sense of direction at this time, that is, you are lost. Your eyes and brain's correction function is no longer there, or the correction signal to you is false and confused, and you feel that you are walking in a straight line, but in fact you are walking according to instinct, and when you come out, it must be a circle.
There are also people in fixed areas, such as cemeteries, who will encounter ghosts hitting the wall, which seems to be more mysterious, in fact, this is because the markers in these places are easy to confuse you. Because people recognize the direction mainly by the ground markers, when these signs sometimes create an illusion, that is, give you the wrong information, in this way, you feel that you still have a sense of direction, in fact, you have lost your way. When a person gets lost, if he doesn't stop and continues, then he must be instinctively moving and coming out...... It's a circle.
ā¦ā¦
After reading Huang Shaoze's newspaper clippings about ghosts hitting the wall, I probably know the principle of ghosts hitting the wall, but putting these here for us still seems to make some sense, because there are two prerequisites for ghosts hitting the wall, first, losing the sense of direction; Two, I came across a lot of similar markers.
But we don't have either of these, one, we're all deep above a great mirror, where there's nothing but endless darkness; Second, we have a compass, and we are always walking in one direction!
