Chapter 45: Philosophy of Life
The two aunts who were chatting left, and the waiter immediately went up to say goodbye politely, and then cleaned up the table. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
I said, "At first glance, his words sound a little reasonable, but they are too extreme." Not all poor people trade their lives for money. And we can't stop trying to live better when we are alive just because we will die in the end anyway. ”
Lin Zihao said: "You are right. It's just that I often think of what he said, you say, what is the meaning of a person's life in this world? ”
Pessimistic people think about this kind of problem and let themselves fall to the bottom, I say, "Now is not the time to discuss the philosophy of life!" What is the relationship between these two stories? ”
"The ancient coffin said that the general's body did not decompose, and the head and body had grown back together."
"So what?" Looking at the biscuits on the table, I suddenly understood what Lin Zihao meant, and I said, "Does anyone want the general's corpse to be used as a medicine primer?" ”
Lin Zihao nodded and said, "Well, maybe there will be such a legend in the Ming Dynasty." Someone saw the story told on the coffin, so they dug it up and wanted the body inside. ”
"However, after getting the corpse, I made an identical 'cover' according to the ancient coffin, 'put on' the ancient coffin, and then buried it back. Why? Is it because of the high quality of ancient tomb robbers? Or is it because he really came back to life after eating the corpse? So in order to show gratitude, you wasted so much effort to do this kind of thing? ”
"Didn't you say it was feudal superstition? Why do you believe you can come back to life? ”
"How else can you explain it?"
"Actually, I thought of another possibility."
"What do you think of?"
"Perhaps, after they opened the ancient coffin, something terrible happened, so they buried the ancient coffin back, and made a coffin to seal the original sarcophagus."
"What terrible thing will happen?"
Lin Zihao looked at me and said, "There are two kinds of corpses that don't decompose, in addition to the medicine primer, there is also a ......."
"Zombies!" I thought of the zombies in the movie, and I couldn't help but tremble in my heart, and felt my scalp tingle, but I still pretended to be calm and said: "There will be no zombies in this world, at most it will be a corpse!" And there is also a scientific explanation for the corpse fraud. ”
Lin Zihao said: "Do you still remember the story of the two-headed monster snake you told me? It was this story that inspired me. ”
Two-headed monster snake! That story was a nightmare for me for a long time. Luckily, I'm sitting in a café now, and it's daylight and sunny outside, otherwise I'd have been left with a psychological shadow, after all, the last time I listened to this kind of story, the environment was really scary.
Lin Zihao continued: "I have figured out the meaning of these words, but now I don't know why they made this matter so mysterious? ”
In the ghost cave that also has a five-pointed star, there is a secret of the Zou Xin family, and Zou Xin said that the bamboo slips that the Chen family wants should be recorded on the secret of immortality; Legend has it that a corpse that does not decay and does not turn into a zombie can be brought back to life if eaten; There is no decomposing body of the general in the ancient coffin...... Do they really believe that there will be such a thing? That's why you need to study in secret?
But such a thing is outrageous! If they're really secretly researching this! That's not interesting, what about overthrowing feudal superstition and building socialism together? And if it is really as Lin Zihao thought, the ancient coffin in the museum is fake, just a bait, is it really to lure Meng Yingjiu into taking the bait?
I should still tell Lin Zihao about the ghost cave, the five-pointed star is not used as a symbol to distinguish, but may belong to Grandma Zou Zhou, but this may overturn the term 'bait'. But Lin Zihao is also reasonable, since it is so secret, why should it be placed in a museum that everyone can see, it should be hidden!
Thinking while eating cookies, pentagrams, bait...... Suddenly there was a flash of inspiration, could it be that the pentagram was actually the real bait! In that case, wouldn't it be me who has taken the bait now? Wrong! If the pentagram is the bait, it has something to do with the ghost cave, and it should be to lure the Chen family or Zou Xin.
Thinking of this, I said to Lin Zihao: "Lin Zihao, in fact, ......"
His phone suddenly remembered, "It was Yue Yi who called." He picked up the phone and said, "You're out of class...... But I still have to go to work in the afternoon...... Kindness...... All right...... See you in the old place in a moment...... Got it...... I'll go right away. ”
Lin Zihao hung up the phone and said, "Yue Yi said that there is something to do with me, and I have to go to her immediately." ”
Finally, I want to talk to you about the ghost cave at this time, but Li Yueyi won't let you listen to it, you can't blame me. I said, "Okay, you go, I'm going back to work too." ”
"Yes, get in touch again."
After Lin Zihao left, I looked at the time, it was neither early nor late, it was embarrassing. After sitting alone and struggling for a while, I decided to go to the temple to burn incense for the two tomb robbers, and wish them to spend time soon. All of a sudden, it felt weird, when did I get like this...... Superstitious?
There are many temples in the main city, of course, the most familiar to me is the Baolun Temple in Ciqikou. So I set off for Ciqikou so that I could go home for lunch.
I called my mom on the subway and told her that I was going back to dinner at noon. After making the call, I felt that I didn't tell Lin Zihao about the ghost cave just now. Otherwise, he would definitely want to go to the ghost cave to find out, if something happens, how can I afford this responsibility?
After arriving at Ciqikou, I walked to Baolun Temple in the bustling crowd. After buying a ticket, receiving incense and candles, I walked into the temple and immediately fell silent.
Climb the steep stone staircase to the temple built on the top of the mountain. At the top of the stone staircase there is a small pool with a stone carved toad in the pool. The monks in the temple say to touch its head, then turn around, turn your back to it, and throw a coin backwards, and if the coin falls on it, then you will have a lot of money.
Every time I come here, I toss a coin like this, and although I never succeed in throwing it into the pool every time, it doesn't affect my motivation. I pulled a coin out of my bag, reached out and touched the toad's smooth head, then turned around and threw it back.
Hearing the sound of coins hitting stones makes me feel like a play! When I turned around, I saw an extra coin on the toad's back! Oh, my God! After all these years, I finally succeeded! I'll have to buy a lottery ticket right away when I'm out in a minute! Definitely going to win!
I soon calmed down, after all, I was here to overtake the two grave robbers. After lighting incense and candles and inserting them into the incense candlesticks, I went to the Mahavira Hall to worship the Buddha. I knelt on the cushion, and the monks from the temple came to knock the wooden fish for me.
With the sound of the monk's wooden fish, I bowed three times, hoping that the Buddha would surpass them and forgive us for the mistakes we made.
After worshipping, I got up and looked at the Buddha in front of me, and my heart suddenly felt a lot of emotion. People die for money, and birds die for food. Desire harms people, but if there is no desire and no desire, will you really be happy? I looked at the Buddha statue and whispered, "What is the purpose of living in this world?" ”
A man's voice suddenly appeared next to him: "For the money!" ”
