Chapter 90: Time to walk backwards
The word reincarnation, before entering that pool, Ye Huan once mentioned it, and he said that it represents reincarnation.
In the world of Taoism, after the death of Taoists, different destinations and destinations are reincarnated in that cruel era. Everything is changing, changing, everyone doesn't know if they have a tomorrow, whether they can live, and how to get rid of endless troubles, pain, and oppression, and reincarnation and karma are undoubtedly a placebo.
Taoist doctrine is that after death, people become ghosts, and the practice of Taoism during life is still cumulatively continued, so after death, after becoming a ghost, you can still continue to cultivate the truth, become a ghost immortal, or you can choose to be reincarnated. Now, with the decline of Taoism, more people believe that reincarnation is a system created by Buddhism, but it is not. In fact, as early as ancient times, China's "Classic of Mountains and Seas" recorded the theory of reincarnation cause and effect. Jingwei turned out to be the favored daughter of Emperor Yan, and one day she went to play in the East China Sea, but suddenly a storm hit and she died. The girl turned into a bird, and her name was "Jingwei Bird". Jingwei Bird went to the West Mountain to bring stones and branches, and threw them into the sea again and again, trying to fill in the East China Sea. It can be seen that Jingwei Bird reclamation is because the sea caused her death in her previous life, so the bird she became hated the sea and fought tenaciously.
Taoism says that Tai Chi Yin and Yang give birth to all things, since people are also the products of Yin and Yang, so the general person who dies has two directions to become Yin is called "ghosts", and the management of ghosts is called the underworld or the underworld, which belongs to Yin so it exists underground. Ghosts that did not do evil in their lives can be reincarnated, and ghosts that did evil in their lives are sent to prison and punished, so it is also called hell. Those who become yang are called immortals, and immortals belong to pure yang so they live in the sky, so they are called the fairy realm and also called the heavenly realm, so Taoism divides the world into three worlds: heaven, earth and man.
The ancients believed that there were countless mysterious powers in heaven and earth that could be borrowed for divination, fortune telling, prayer for victory and receiving, and the removal of diseases and plagues. But the owner of the power, that is, the "god", will not give this power to you for nothing, it needs to be exchanged, so there is a contract. Ancient contracts are often based on life and death, according to some current discoveries and historical records, ancient sorcerers cut their wrists and dripped blood into the vessels, in order to express their piety like a god, in exchange for the gods to give him mysterious powers, and after obtaining this power to complete something, he needs a certain sacrifice to repay the gods, such as the life of a person or livestock to the other party.
There is also such a rule in the many spells recorded and passed down in Taoism, but the more powerful the spell, the higher the price the caster will have to pay. The more powerful the power you get, the more you have to return it at the corresponding price, and there are many forbidden spells that say that you have the power to cry ghosts and gods that can shock the world, and the price is often that the caster goes mad or pays for his life.
If the reincarnation contract really exists, then combined with what Chen Zhen has read from historical materials, whether this giant country that has disappeared for thousands of years really once had a power that is close to mythology. They can gain eternal life and an incomparably powerful body, and at the cost of an even more terrible deal between them and the giver of this power.
Looking at these astrological charts in front of him, Cha Wenbin was a little dazed, because it was too careful, and the so-called star palace in Taoism was only confirmed by the orientation and brightness that the human eye could distinguish, and its accuracy and imaging effect could only be said to be quite vague. The ancients believed that the heavens and the earth were full of power, and even more so the power of the five elements of Taoism, but these powers were only obtained from the surroundings, and they set their sights on the distant universe very early, where it was believed that there was more power and more power. So they learned to meditate, meditatively took their minds through the limitations of time and space, and traveled in the vast universe to experience the myriad paths between heaven and earth.
After all, imagination is just imagination, and it cannot be combined with reality, so throughout the ages, too many people have been meditating all their lives, but in the end he still feels that the sky is round and the earth is square.
So when this picture appeared in front of him, he was shocked, he couldn't imagine that the vague flashes of light he saw every night could be made up of so many countless stars behind it, and the various lines and patterns that stretched on the whole wall were beyond his knowledge. So, even if there was some kind of power in it, it wasn't something he could read now.
There is no mark left by the fat man and Ye Huan here, and it is not valid for Cha Wenbin to speculate that he went to the wrong hole, even if he remembered it wrong and was dazzled, but Chen Zhen and Lian'er also saw with their own eyes that they did come here. Looking at the shallow footprints on the ground, Cha Wenbin was at a loss, and there seemed to be a hand beckoning him in the endless darkness, to go or not to go?
Wandering, thinking, waiting, the anxiety and uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense, Cha Wenbin finally said ruthlessly: "If I can't take you out alive, this love will be returned on Huangquan Road, and I don't feel at ease if I stay here and let go of you two." ”
Lian'er is naturally looking forward to it, as long as she can be with her male god, she will ignore it completely. As for Chen Zhen, he is not a cowardly person, he said: "If it weren't for Brother Wen Bin, I'm afraid I would have died a long time ago, this life was picked up, what are you afraid of if you die once?" Don't worry, I will always follow you, but I'm afraid that I will hold you back. ”
"Okay," Cha Wenbin took out a fire fold and lit a torch, and was about to walk inside head-on, when a magical scene happened. He wanted to take another look down there, so he turned around and took a step back, and with that step he exclaimed, "What's the matter, the footprints on the ground are gone!" ”
In about five minutes, the footprints on the ground disappeared! Right under his nose, and the pile of charcoal fire below has been completely extinguished, and there is no light in sight, which is completely beyond common sense!
"I'm sure no one has come to sweep the ......" Chen Zhen is a college student, studying geology, he has received an atheist education since he was a child, but recently he has seen too many things that go against common sense, an inexplicable fear began to rise in his heart, and his scalp began to stand up, as if there were many people walking around him, but you couldn't see it.
Cha Wenbin understood a little at this time, it was not that the fat man and Ye Huan did not enter from here, but that the traces they left behind had disappeared!
What is the force that can make these traces disappear? He looked up at the symbols above his head, could they be? Reincarnation Contract! What is samsara!
So he made a bold speculation: "I once encountered a time and space confusion, two different time and space intersected in the same place, and we saw ourselves five minutes later, so if the traces are left, they will not disappear, even after five minutes, they will still exist." He then speculated: "The interval between the first time the fat man went in and came out was an hour, and his own feeling was only a few minutes, so is an hour outside equal to a few minutes here?" Even so, after an hour passes, the footprints will not disappear, and under normal circumstances, there are no conditions for dust to fall here, and it is conservatively estimated that the footprints can exist for about three days. So, time is not going forward, it's going backwards! ”
"Brother Wen Bin," Chen Zhen said: "I have read a book for a few days, and the book says that time is not going backwards, you can only move forward, that is in the four-dimensional world, advanced wisdom can shorten time by folding space, when the speed exceeds the light, time will be suspended, but there will be no faster than light in this world." ”
"I've encountered it before," Cha Wenbin said, "once a friend of mine had a thing that reversed time, I don't know where this power comes from, but obviously it is beyond our understanding, there is a force that can go back in time, and we are now in the middle of this force." You say that time cannot be reversed, but I ask you, can time be folded like a piece of paper? ”
"Theoretically, time can be compressed and folded, but it cannot be reversed." Chen Zhen said: "Maybe I have too little knowledge, or maybe the current discovery of human beings is just stopping at this step. ”
"Compress and fold!" Cha Wenbin said: "That's right, these two ways can change the imprint of time, if folded, the road we just walked may not be here, it runs in a way that we can't see, the speed is faster than the eyes, so that we can't feel the little changes here in it, if that's the case, the first time the fat man entered and exited just now may be a stall, this stall happens to be here The time has not had time to change, but this time after they entered, the change came too fast, So much so that it is highly likely to be trapped inside. ”
"If that's the case, I'm afraid we won't be able to go in," Chen Zhen said: "Before we figure out the law of this kind of stall change, it is possible to rush in and out like them, so we must first calculate the law of two time changes." ”
Cha Wenbin drew a circle on the ground with his toes and said: "This is simple, you use the watch to keep time, we can calculate the time when the circle disappears each time we test it twice, and then look for the pattern!" ”
"Wait!" As soon as Chen Zhen raised his hand, his face changed: "Brother Wenbin, look at my watch......"
It was a Shanghai-brand watch that had always been made in China, and this watch was brought back from the city by Chen Zhen's father for a year's work, which was quite a fashionable luxury at the time. Chen Zhen studied in college and gave him this watch as a gift, the maintenance on weekdays is quite concerned, the watch has never had a problem except for the need to proofread the time every few days, but today I don't know what's wrong, the second hand on the watch is going backwards backwards......
