Chapter 31: Yin and Yang Parallel
Hu Zhouzhou said: "This post is conclusive, but I don't know if it's reliable." ”
Mr. Cai said: "Ironclad is not reliable! If the tragedy of that year really left this kind of sequelae, then how could it not have occurred in the previous decades, and only now did it suddenly erupt? ”
I nodded in agreement. And if it's really like the post says, then the goddess hotel should be full of ghosts of prostitutes, but we haven't even seen a ghost.
Yujing has been silent and thoughtful.
I said, "What? Got an idea? ”
Yujing said that his master, Qingxu Daochang, was an expert in the study of yin and yang. Qingxu Dao Chang once put forward a theory. This statement is somewhat similar to what we call the "parallel space theory" today.
Stephen Hawking's "parallel space theory" says that after the time traveler goes back in time to change history, the timeline will be divided, and the timeline of the dividing branch will unfold another history. However, if we can go back in time, we can break the law of cause and effect. So, the grandmother paradox comes: because time is related to space, the grandmother is killed, and the world is divided into two due to the change of history, resulting in the branching of time and space, then I do not exist in this space, but the grandmother in another space still exists, and I still exist.
The Qingxu Daoist believes that the underworld and the yang world overlap. He believes that the underworld does not exist in another dimension, but in the so-called yang world in which we live. For example, your home may be the Hades Hall in the underworld, and the supermarket at the corner of the street may be where the Nai He Bridge is located.
There is something unknown to us separating the underworld from the yang world, so the yin and yang, the two types of humans and ghosts, can crisscross each other, but they do not interfere with each other. Qingxu Dao Chang also proposed that there are many entrances and exits between the underworld and the yang world, and through those entrances and exits, you can go back and forth between yin and yang. Those entrances and exits are commonly known as the Ghost Gate.
After death, the ghosts who have not crossed the ghost gate and entered the underworld will be seen and felt by us.
Of course, this is just the words of the Qingxu Daoist, and it has not been recognized by anyone. At that time, Yujing also felt that his master's theory was too whimsical, but the current situation made him have to rethink the statement of the Qingxu Daoist.
I thought for a long time and said, "Even if your master's theory is true, it can't explain what is going on here." According to your master, the Yin and Yang worlds should not feel each other's existence. But as you said, you can feel the ghosts here, and the residents and staff here can hear and see some strange phenomena. ”
Yujing said that his master just said that under normal circumstances, the two worlds of yin and yang could not feel each other. Something must have gone wrong here at the Goddess Hotel.
Although Hu Zhouzhou likes to contradict Yujing, he also said at this time: "What the idiot said makes sense. But it's impossible for us to verify whether it's true or false. ”
I said not necessarily. I asked, "Is there a land temple in City G?" ”
The minister said, "No. We don't build the land here, but the city god. ”
I said, "That's not going to be easy." "There is a "ghost surveying trick" on the "Heavenly Dao Atlas", which can inquire about the land. I wanted to try to summon my own land with this trick and ask about the situation nearby. Although the city god is a big official, his responsibilities are actually similar to the land, so he should be able to give it a try!
I asked the minister to take us to the nearest temple of the City God.
The temple, like most temples in China, has been renovated. Although it looks quite Ming and Qing Dynasty, it seems that there is something separated by a layer, and there is always a commercial taste. Ungodly.
I don't know if there is a true god in such a temple.
In the dead of night, there were only a few of us in the temple. After I sincerely worshipped, I placed the Heavenly Dao Seal on the altar. The five fingers of the right hand are stretched out flat, and the fingertips are pointing upwards. The thumb pinched the middle finger under the fingernail. Pinch out the trick of ghost investigation.
He said: "Zhong Ming, the sixth generation head of the Maoshan Sect Heavenly Dao Sect of the Zhengyi Sect, please see the local city god." ”
However, the only thing that answered me was silence. I sincerely bow again, and please see the city god when you pinch the ghost trick. When I tried it for the third time, I suddenly felt a powerful force pull me out. I staggered a few steps, barely on my feet. I heard Hu Zhouzhou and them nervously shouting my name. The jade mirror was next to me, but it seemed that I could not be seen at all.
The next second I saw my body fall to the ground. What's wrong? I was inexplicable when I suddenly heard a deep and majestic voice behind me: "What is calling me?" ”
I was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly turned around, and sure enough, I saw the golden body of the city god turned into a middle-aged male god sitting in a precarious position.
I hurriedly asked him where the goddess hotel overlapped with the underworld. Chenghuang pinched his fingers and said that it was the flower street and willow lane in the underworld. To put it bluntly, it's a ghost brothel.
I was sweating wildly, and my heart said that it was okay to make a brothel, and it was used as a brothel in the underworld, and it was used as a brothel in the yang world, well, it really has a future.
In fact, I didn't believe in the theory that the yin and yang overlap of Qingxu Dao, so I directly asked the goddess hotel where it overlapped with the tentative meaning. However, since Chenghuang has given the answer, it is undoubtedly tantamount to telling me that the theory of pure emptiness is correct.
I said, "The two worlds of yin and yang should not interfere with each other, but now the yang world can hear the sound of the underworld, why is this?" ”
Chenghuang frowned and said, "Is there such a thing? ”
I said, "Absolutely." That's why I call the gods. ”
Chenghuang said, "Go with the gods." After saying that, with a wave of my sleeves, I felt the powerful force pulling me out again, and before I could react, I was already standing in the goddess hotel.
The city god pointed a few times in several directions out of thin air, and a large area of vague and dangling things like water curtains appeared in front of us. Chenghuang gently stroked the "water curtain" with his fingers, and the posture was like a noble lady caressing some kind of sky-high silk.
After making sure that there was no problem with this part of the "water curtain", the city god immediately hid it and looked at the other part of the "water curtain" out of thin air in other directions. After a few repetitions, the dark clouds on Chenghuang's face finally dissipated and said, "I see. ”
What happened? Curious, I leaned over and saw a thin crack in the "water curtain". There is a crack, but it is not completely cracked. It's just like the stockings of a girl with a slight hook.
Chenghuang said: "This thing is a single filament, and it is all based on this thing that separates the underworld and the yang world. He said that fortunately, the crack was not big, otherwise the ghosts of the underworld would have escaped through the crack.
Chenghuang took out something similar to a shuttle, and repaired the crack in three or two clicks.
After that, he was going to leave without saying a word, and I still have a stomach problem, how can it be so easy to let him go? I hurriedly stopped him and said, "Wait, wait." Mr. Chenghuang, what the hell is a single filament? How did it come about? ”
Chenghuang was a little impatient and said, "Why do you have so many problems with this little path? ”
I smiled and said, "I once said that if I don't understand, I have to ask!" You don't usually wander the streets, so it's so hard for me to see you, I must take the opportunity to ask questions, don't you? ”
Cheng Huang showed a helpless expression and said, "There is no accepted definition of what a monofilament is. All we know is that this substance lies between the yin and yang worlds, and it is tough and strong. But we don't know much about monofilaments, and researchers in the underworld are still working on it. Such an efficient method of repairing monofilament filaments has been developed in the last three or four hundred years. That was a milestone in the scientific research of the underworld. ”
I silently rolled my eyes in my heart, and said in my heart that sure enough, no official anywhere will speak human words. This official tone is ......
With the personality of my true man and pure master, of course, I have to continue to laugh on the surface, and ask: "Why does the monofilament here crack?" That's the case, if we know the reason, we can prevent it in the future. ”
Chenghuang said: "Although the monofilament is tough, it can also be destroyed. But as I said, we don't know enough about monofilaments. At present, it is only known that strong resentment can cause cracks in monofilaments. The rift was very new, and it had been around for no more than a year. ”
I immediately remembered the murder case that I was born in the Goddess Hotel a year ago. It must have been that the two deceased in that case were so angry that they tore apart all the monofilaments here. Although the crack is not enough to make the ghosts and yin spirits come out, it causes chaos of yin and yang to a certain extent, so the sound made by people doing popping aerobic exercise can be heard in the goddess hotel.
I was so excited to figure this out that I was about to share it with Chenghuang, but I didn't expect that the guy had already slipped away while I was distracted.
I just thought the guy was cunning, but when I thought about it, I was immediately shocked that something was wrong. I almost jumped up and shouted, "Mr. Chenghuang! I was wrong! I have no questions to ask! Hurry up and get me back to my flesh! I don't want to make a second jade mirror! ”
That powerful force came out of nowhere, and I stumbled again, and when I opened my eyes again, I saw that I was lying in the ambulance, surrounded by Hu Zhouzhou, Mr. Cai, the minister, and Yujing.
I briefly talked about the conversation with the city god. Everyone's reaction is different.
Yujing was the most excited, and said, "My master fruit is a great talent!" ”
Hu Zhouzhou swallowed violently and said, "Wouldn't we get rich if we had that kind of shuttle?" ”
Mr. Cai praised: "Zhong Daochang is tough! ”
The minister, on the other hand, had an expression of incomprehension. I took it apart and said it a few times, but he still had the same expression on his face. I gave up completely, saying, "You just need to know that no one will hear those voices in your hotel again." ”
The minister suddenly realized, and the expression on his face did not know whether he was relieved or disappointed. (…… After getting out of the ambulance (the look in the ambulance staff), we went to the food stalls to eat. When I returned to the Goddess Hotel, it was already past two o'clock in the morning. The minister arranged a few rooms for us to rest.
The next day, I slept until the afternoon, and after eating in the restaurant, I wanted to go to Hu Zhouzhou and them, but the little girl at the front desk stopped me. She said, "Professor Zhou came over this morning to invite your friend to his house. He didn't want to wake you up, so he told me to arrange a car to take you there when you woke up. ”
