Chapter 45 A Philosophical Dialogue
I seemed to see peanuts curled up in the coffin in the photo, poking their faces out and smiling at me.
Shivering, I immediately looked away from the photo. All of a sudden, I felt that all of these things were beyond the years I could have explored.
Could it be that when my grandfather was in his prime, Peanut was already lying in that coffin?
How many years was this photo taken? Forty years? Thirty years? No, even if it's only for ten or twenty years, that's pretty creepy.
Moreover, grandfather, why did they take such a photo back then? Is there any necessary reason for them to do so?
No, I reacted suddenly.
Although it looks like the coffin that peanuts jumped out of the photo, I'm not sure if there are two coffins that are the same. And even if this is the coffin in the cellar of the old house, it can't be said that Peanut was in it at that time.
I decided I couldn't get into it anymore and interrupted the thought. But as soon as I put this head down, I remembered the person Wei Lin said again.
"Liu Jinsun, Liu Jinsun." muttering in a low voice, I began to try to distinguish that the person in the photo looked like a stunned grandfather.
It's a pity that the memories of my childhood are too vague, and even if I try my best to recall them, I still can't remember what my grandfather looked like. In fact, I also hope that there is no Ah Gong Liu here, otherwise, what Wei Lin said is likely to be true.
Although I have restrained myself from thinking too much, I still secretly hold a cold sweat for Daddy.
The Liu family was stunned, my best playmate when I was a child, the most trusted guy around Daddy, if he wants to be unfavorable to Daddy, then the old guy may not be defenseless at all.
Although I don't think it's likely. However, the incident where someone leaked Daddy's whereabouts before, now it seems that there is an answer.
Just when I wanted to get rid of these thoughts, the fat man spoke at the right time.
He asked me what I was wondering about, and I said everything I knew like a life-saving straw.
When it came to the end, my mouth was dry, and I repeated many questions several times before it was counted.
Then. We both lit cigarettes, gasping for breath as we watched for blood dripping from the top of our heads.
The fat man's injuries were not light, and smoking a cigarette didn't hurt him to death, but he was still reluctant to take out the cigarette. I tried to persuade him, but the words came to my mouth. Still no sound.
This time. I told the fat man everything I could and couldn't tell to others, and after listening to my story, the fat man seemed to be thinking about something all the time.
After a long time, I asked him, "You have a good brain, do you have anything in mind?" ”
The fat man pouted, "What can you think of?" What you're talking about is like a few clips in a movie, and it's impossible to understand the content of a 190-minute movie from these more than ten seconds of clips. ”
"And what were you thinking about?"
The fat man took a puff on his cigarette. Tilting his head to the side, "I was just wondering what your father, Peanut, and Professor Chen's gang were doing this for." ”
"Purpose?" I frowned.
"Nonsense, they must have a very important purpose to achieve, and that's why they do this." The fat man said, "These things you encounter are indeed very complicated, let alone you, just the fat man, I am dizzy when I hear it." But no matter how complex a thing is, it certainly has an end purpose.
For example, if you build rockets and spaceships, it's complicated, but we don't have to care about how rockets are made, we just need to know that its purpose is to develop the universe and make people's lives more enjoyable.
Therefore, there must be an ultimate purpose behind these things that you encounter. ”
The fat man's words did not solve any of my doubts, but as soon as he said this, my mind suddenly became clear. All of a sudden, I admired this guy so much in my heart.
Indeed, I have been thinking about so many questions, but I have never thought about what Daddy and Peanut are trying to achieve.
"Then what do you think my father is for?" I suddenly thought of Wei Lin again, "Could it be just to make the other party die?" ”
"It can't be that simple, if you want someone else to die, where can you do so much fun." The fat man said while thinking about it, "Since this matter has something to do with Da Luo Feng Shui, I think your father's purpose may be related to the number of lives or something, not the kind of things that actually exist." ”
Fat Man said earlier that a person who has completely mastered Da Luo Feng Shui can manipulate almost everything. Could it be that Daddy did all these things in order to gain the ability to transcend everything and then rule the entire world?
This is too outrageous, if you can dominate the world in this way, how can you embarrass the feelings of the United States.
"It's not impossible." I didn't expect that someone as practical as a fat man would deny my opinion.
He continued: "I always feel that the question that Yuan Liuye asked you has something to say. ”
"Which problem?" After all that was said and done, I don't remember much of it.
"Didn't he ask you if you believed that the rise and fall of the 'Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties' were manipulated."
I didn't expect the fat man to say this. However, it was not a question of whether I believed it or not, but Daddy's question at that time, which I couldn't accept at all.
The fat man shook his head, "You have to understand your father's situation, I think he is asking this question not as it seems, but to ask you: 'Do you believe in numerology?' ’”
My mind flashed, as if I had figured out something, but I couldn't figure it out. He urged the fat man to continue.
The fat man continued: "After all, it's your father, I think since he told you everything like Zongxue, then Sixth Master Yuan actually doesn't need to hide too much from you." However, the purpose he wants to achieve may be a kind of feng shui fortune, and if he tells you this kind of thing directly, it is as if someone has told you about it. He's going to turn back time like nothingness.
The science of Feng Shui is too profound. In ancient times, people were still willing to explore, but now, a feng shui master in the true sense of the word is too much to count with ten fingers. And even the current masters, in the end, only know a little more than others. In Feng Shui, the true essence has long been lost.
Nowadays, people have to pick the back of their heads when they hold a copy of "Zhou Yi". Not to mention something like Da Luo Feng Shui.
At that time in the Tang and Song dynasties, there were still people studying these things, but since the Manchu government was invaded by the Eight-Nation Alliance, people didn't care much about these things. The current bleakness of feng shui is also the sins created at that time, and our ancestors suffered from foreign guns and cannons at that time. Now that the motherland has developed, it is certainly not possible to repeat the mistakes of the past.
Thereupon. The old things have actually been denied by the times. Whether it's good or bad can't be said. Anyway, at the moment, Feng Shui is such a thing, and it is no longer possible to say, 'know the Tao but not know the Tao', but it depends on 'whether you believe it or not'.
If what I said is right, then your father will definitely be very embarrassed when he told you about these things.
He wants to tell you that all these things may be related to the future fortune of your old Yuan family, but. Because there is a premise of Da Luo Feng Shui, he himself can't figure it out, and he will definitely not be able to explain it to you. ”
After the fat man's words, I suddenly found out. The whole thing doesn't seem to be as complicated as I thought it would be.
Feng Shui, number of lives. I still don't have any concept of these things in my head, but it seems that the outline of the whole thing has emerged.
A period of feng shui, raising one side of water and soil, a dragon vein, and setting a side of mountains and rivers. Maybe all people, all things, are struggling in a certain feng shui situation, and I seem to have no intention, but in fact it is inevitable to intervene, and it may be all the arrangement of fate.
The fat man was thirty-one years old when he told me this. I'm twenty-five years old. And when we really dared to say that we probably understood the whole thing, we suddenly realized that at that time, we were really too young to dare to talk about and imagine feng shui in the ancient tomb.
"Then you mean, I have to really believe in that feng shui life number before my father can tell me the truth?"
Fat nodded, "The main thing is to get that point, it only makes sense for him to tell you." But these are just your fat man's guesses, and you have to figure out what they are for. ”
I thought about it, and suddenly I asked the fat man, "Then do you believe in these things?" ”
The fat man grinned, "What do you believe, I don't believe anything in your fat master." ”
", you don't believe it yourself, and you still tell Lao Tzu so much." I was depressed all at once.
"Hey, so, my understanding is fundamentally different from you mortals." The fat man looked at me with disdain, and without thinking, he was definitely going to start bragging again.
"This person, before looking at people, always likes to ask who is good and who is bad. When you hear something you haven't experienced, you should first consider believing it or not. You do things with this kind of vision, and you tie yourself up in the beginning. Fat man, I don't believe in anything, and there's nothing I don't believe, I only know one thing, and that's the truth. As long as a thing is proved by facts, then it is true, it is true, then I believe it. And you don't care if others believe it or not, the key is what you think. ”
The fat man was dumbfounded, I really didn't expect that this man could come out of his mouth with such philosophical words.
But when I think about it, in just one month, I've experienced too many incredible things. Many of the stereotypes of the past have actually been broken, and my whole mind may now be in that state of reframing.
Anyone who has studied psychology knows that at this time, as long as it is happening in front of him, no matter how outrageous it is, that person will definitely accept it.
But after asking myself, I still don't believe in these things.
"My dad asked me to learn more about those things after I went back to Beijing, and it may be exactly what you said." I whispered, "But there is no system for these studies, so even if I really want to understand, what can I do?" ”
The fat man smiled easily and said, "The easiest way to sue you." ”
"What's the solution?"
"Mess with your fat man." The fat man said as a matter of course, "You follow me for two years, and when the time comes, I promise that you will be indifferent to these things." ”
"What do you think you have in mind, to go with you for two years? Hmph, I think you'd better think about how we got out of here. ”
As soon as they talked about coming out of here, the two of them couldn't help but be silent again.
All together, we all felt that we should continue down the hallway, and although the matter between Wei Lin and the other two was a bit desperate, it was better than sitting and waiting to die.
Moreover, the bandages on the fat man's body indicate that someone else must have been here, and since he can be haunted here, then this place will not be a dead end.
When I think about it, I see a little bit of hope. But we can't walk anymore, especially the fat man, who needs more than a little sleep now.
So, I snatched the cigarette from the fat man's hand and snuffed it out, urging him to rest. The fat man didn't say anything, and slowly lay down. I grabbed his gear bag from the other end to see what emergency equipment was inside.
I found a smokeless stove, turned off the flashlight, lit a smokeless stove and put it under the brick wall. As soon as the fire flickered, the corpse of the giant rat behind him was faintly revealed. When I looked back, I found that all the maggots on its body had come out of it, almost crawling all over the stomach of the giant rat.
I didn't think it before, but now I realize that the air around me is simply foul.
I've never smoked cigarette after cigarette like I do now, and it's the sluggishness that comes to mind that is the lifeless gloom that spreads around the pit of bones that is really unsettling.
After more than two hours, the fat man had slept deeply. He didn't snore this time, but he could also see that his body was in a state of weakness, and when he woke up, he would definitely need to replenish a lot of food.
I estimated according to my experience last time, except for the fat man's share, the rest is enough for the two of us to last four or five days at most. Once we don't find a way out before the food is eaten, we don't know what will happen to it.
Suddenly, I started to feel a little scared.
If we can't find a way out like those three people, then the last one, the fat man or me, will we do the same thing as Wei Lin and Ah Wei?
I was shocked to think of one thing, in the depths of that road, inside the big wooden box, Ah Wei may still be lying inside, continuing to gnaw his hands. The lid of the wooden box has been pushed open by me, will Ah Wei slowly crawl out of the corridor following the sound we made?
When I think about it, I start to get chills down my back. Slowly turning his head to look at the darkness there, he couldn't help but move his body a little towards the fat man.
Suddenly, I saw a shadow appear on the ground in front of me. It was long and spread all the way above our heads.
I shuddered and looked in the direction of the smokeless stove. Immediately, not far in front of the smokeless stove, an extremely long rope-like thing hung down from the darkness above us.
It hung there dangling, and I subconsciously thought it was a snake, so I stood up from the ground.
But it didn't look like it was anymore, it was wet, and there was something red on it.
I looked at it with a frown, and then little by little I moved there. (To be continued......)
