Chapter 34: The Bronze Mirror
"What do you mean by that?" I asked Yang Xuedao in shock. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"I mean, could it be that because of the influence of this dark area, after a certain amount of energy, you will be able to materialize the illusion, or be able to replicate the original body?" Yang Xue said.
"That's, isn't it?"
"Otherwise, how can we explain these two identical bones? You think, even if these two people are twins, they can't be exactly the same on the individual, you look closely, the shape and size of the skull, every detail, even some subtle depressions. Also, if you look at the number and size of the ribs, the length and thickness of the phalanges, it can be said that every part of the two skeletons is completely overlapping, so they can't be two people, even twins. The only explanation is that they are the same person, and that one of them is a doppelganger of the other. ”
Yang Xue's assumption is bold, but it is very mysterious and unbelievable. Think about it, in this world, how can there be a doppelganger other than the ontology, and this doppelganger actually died with the ontology, which is simply beyond the scope of the existing science can explain. I couldn't accept it, and I cast a questioning look at Uncle Ma and asked him what he thought differently about this matter. But Uncle Ma only shook his head slightly at this time, saying that this girl's speculation is also very reasonable, maybe it is true. I saw that both of them fell into a state of confusion, and were shocked by the strange corpses in front of me, so I thought to myself:
According to our normal thinking, when we encounter two identical skeletons, our first reaction is to think that they are twins. However, according to Yang Xue's explanation, it is impossible for twins to look exactly the same in every detail of their bodies, which is debatable, but it is also highly likely. Secondly, I thought, could it be because of the influence of the chaos that we all hallucinate, in other words, that the bones lying on the ground were originally one corpse, but due to some unknown factor, they came into our sight into two? Did we fall for some kind of trick, maybe it was the magic set up by the old Tao back then, in order to confuse us? Or maybe it's our own demons? Or is it a mirror-like medium that reproduces the bones?
Finally, have we fallen into a coma under the influence of its special magnetic field since we entered that dark zone? Even everything we see now, including ourselves, is a spiritual illusion? And is our essence still in the dark, passing out there, until we die, while our consciousness is detached from our body and wandering in the depths of the cave?
Seeing that the two of them were clueless, I told them all my guesses and possibilities. Uncle Ma didn't seem to understand my thoughts, but he still tried to analyze them in his head, and said to me in his own way:
"Young man, you're saying we're all dreaming?"
I nodded and said, "That's pretty much what it means, but it's not the same as dreaming, you know what's out of the body, right?" It may be that now our souls are out of our bodies, and we don't know it. ”
Uncle Ma showed a very confused expression, probably because he couldn't figure it out, and after a while, he said:
"Young man, what kind of out-of-body are you talking about, I don't think it's just that people become ghosts after death? You mean, we've all become ghosts? How is this possible? If we are dead, how can we not know? Still, I have a way to prove if we're ghosts or not! ”
As he spoke, he reached into the cloth bag he was carrying, took out a bronze mirror, opened the mirror cover, and said to me and Yang Xue:
"Whether it's a ghost or not, take a picture of this to find out. If it's a ghost, there's no image in the mirror......"
Although Uncle Ma's method is old-fashioned, I have seen the power of this bronze mirror, and when he was in the mass grave outside, he also used this bronze mirror to distinguish whether we were humans or ghosts. I think this bronze mirror can at least help us figure out if we are in an illusion now, right?
"I'll come first!"
Yang Xue snatched Uncle Ma's bronze mirror, and before I could be a little mentally prepared, she shone the mirror on her face. She was in front of us, and Uncle Ma and I were standing behind her, but because her face was blocking the mirror, and the lights were dim, we couldn't figure out what she was seeing in the mirror. But Yang Xue was stunned in place for about half a minute, buried her head in the bronze mirror, looked and looked, during which her body moved a few times, suddenly, I don't know what was going on, she suddenly let out a frightened scream, as if she saw something very terrifying in the mirror, the whole person trembled in shock, almost inertia, and threw the mirror in her hand, the bronze mirror drew an arc in the air, and it fell into the lake and sank quickly.
"What are you doing!"
I saw her throw the bronze mirror into the lake in a panic, and suddenly I was angry, thinking that you are really, the more critical the moment, the more I can't hold my breath, why did I lose the bronze mirror at this time, we haven't had time to see it!
But Yang Xue showed an aggrieved expression and said tremblingly:
"I ...... I see...... I saw my brother lying on the ground dripping with blood, and I ......"
"How is this possible?" I was very surprised and said, "You take a bronze mirror to look at your face, why does your brother's picture appear in the mirror?" I think you're probably too worried about Lao Yang and hallucinating! Really, when is it, can you calm down? ”
I was about to continue to reprimand Yang Xue, because I felt that the bronze mirror was too important to us at the moment, like a life-saving straw, and now it was thrown away, as if the sky was falling. But Uncle Ma stretched out his hand to stop me and said:
"It's not in the way, it's just a bronze mirror, and I still have a few pieces at home, which don't get in the way."
I say:
"Now that the bronze mirror is lost, what else can we do to confirm that we are real?"
Uncle Ma frowned, and said a little embarrassed:
"Well, it's not that there's no way, it's just a little tricky......"
Unexpectedly, at this time, Yang Xue, who was on the side, suddenly whimpered, and she shouted to Uncle Ma while crying:
"I beg you, Uncle Ma, can you go in again and help me find my brother, I'...... I have a strong premonition that my brother is ...... It seems to be somewhere, waiting for us to save him...... Please, look for it again, and if you can't find it, I won't ask for it again. ”
I was just trying to ask Yang Xue not to mess around, how can this matter be judged based on premonition alone, although a woman's sixth sense is sometimes very accurate, but she can't risk her life.
But Uncle Ma is a simple and honest man, looking at Yang Xue's pitiful appearance, his heart suddenly softened, so he asked Yang Xue to tie a rope for him, saying that he would go in and find it again.
Not long after Uncle Ma entered, Yang Xue stopped whimpering, but in a few minutes, she actually showed a different expression, gave me a look, and asked me to lean over.
I saw that Yang Xue's expression was very strange, and when I recalled her sudden whimper, it seemed to be pretending, so I couldn't help but lean over curiously, only to hear her whisper in my ear:
"Just now I saw myself and you in the bronze mirror, but I didn't ......" (To be continued.) )
