As soon as I threw the copper coin in, the water in the paper cup immediately boiled, as if it was a red-hot soldering iron, and before I could express my surprise, the water in the paper cup instantly turned into ice cubes, and the next second, it began to boil again...... And so on and so forth, and there is no pattern at all, sometimes it freezes for a longer time, and sometimes it boils for a longer time.

"Do you know what Yin Yang Ancient Money means?" Kong Xuan seemed to appreciate my surprised expression, and said with a smile: "Only a person with a yin and yang physique like you can hold it in your hand casually, if someone else holds it in your hand, your hand would have been scorched or frozen." ”

"It's not scientific!" I shouted.

"Mom, you have to help you catch ghosts, you actually tell me about science?" Kong Xuan said disdainfully.

"Okay, let's not talk about science, so why don't you scorch this thing on your desk?" I said, pointing to the table.

"This ancient coin only senses the human body and water." Kong Xuan smiled, beckoned me to sit down, pointed to the paper cup and said, "Please take it out again!" ”

I hesitated for a moment, but finally chose to believe him, and reached out and took out the ancient money. Kong Xuan's eyes burst out/A strange light burst out, and he smiled: "Okay, I've made up your friend!" ”

Sometimes, making friends between men is as simple as that, with one sentence and one action, you can make each other brothers.

I took the ancient money and looked at it, although the ancient money had just been taken out of the water cup, but there was not a trace of water stains on it, I played for a while, and handed it to Kong Xuan: "This yin and yang ancient money or something, what is going on?" ”

Kong Xuan tapped his fingers on the table and said with a smile: "I'm not a yin and yang physique, you put it on the table first." ”

"No wonder I threw this at you, you look terrified." I reacted.

"I'm not frightened, I'm surprised, the yin and yang physique that happens once in a thousand years has been met by me!" Kong Xuan rolled his eyes.

"Tell me, what's going on, it seems that this yin and yang physique is very awesome!" I can't help but be complacent.

"Let me ask you first, do you believe in ghosts and gods?" Kong Xuan got up and took a quaint little wooden box from the bookshelf, as well as a pair of chopsticks, and asked casually while using chopsticks to clip the Yin and Yang ancient money into the wooden box.

"Don't believe it!" I said flatly.

"Then you asked me to help you catch ghosts?" Kong Xuan put the box on the shelf, turned to sit down, and looked at me with a smile.

I laughed, and I didn't hide it, and told Kong Xuan about my profession and the strange things I encountered at Jinyang's house, and added: "There must be something in it that I don't know, either high-tech, or a trick similar to magic!" ”

Kong Xuan looked at me strangely: "Zhong Kui, I really don't know how to say you, is your philosophy taught by Teacher Cang?" ”

I was stunned: "What does this have to do with philosophy?" ”

"Then why are you so stubborn? How is it possible to see so many unexplained things and still want to use what you know to answer them? Let's take the simplest example, just this yin and yang ancient money, you find me a scientific basis to come out, I won't talk about your yin and yang physique, just say what can make water boil one second before and freeze one second later? And its carrying material is still a paper cup, which is said to have long been unable to withstand such rapid temperature changes and committed suicide. Kong Xuan said a long paragraph in one breath.

I couldn't refute with my mouth wide open.

"I'm going to help you establish a correct worldview!" Kong Xuan coughed dryly, his face solemn.

I waved my hand sideways and motioned for him to hurry up.

"The world we live in is not the only world. For your understanding, let's call our world the yang world, which can also be called the human world, and there is a corresponding netherworld, or ghost world. The yin and yang worlds are not connected, but there is no clear boundary, it depends on whether you can find the entrance. It's possible that a stone under your feet, a pack of cigarettes in your hand are all portals that allow you to enter the netherworld. ”

"Hehe, come on, smoke, smoke." I took out a box of cigarettes, handed one to Kong Xuan, lit the fire attentively, and said with a smile: "What is the concept of the netherworld?" ”

Kong Xuan took a puff of cigarette and continued: "The heavenly court, the palace of Hades, or the heaven and hell in the West in ancient Chinese mythological novels, is the so-called netherworld. ”

I was surprised and asked, "Do these things really exist?" ”

"Do you think so many accounts are playing with you?" Kong Xuan said: "Let's not talk about this first, as the name suggests, we humans live in the human world, in order to facilitate your understanding, we divide human beings into two kinds!" ”

"Men and women!" I chime up.

"Wrong, it's divided into ordinary people and cultivators. I won't explain it to ordinary people, but cultivators are people who have mastered some of the mysteries of yin and yang, don't you understand? I know it's hard for you to understand, let's put it this way, a cultivator is a person with mana. These people are not just Taoist priests, they may also be monks, or even monks. After Kong Xuan finished speaking, he glanced at me: "I am a cultivator, there is no doubt about it." ”

"I can see that you are taking Zhang Sanfeng's route!" I laughed. Zhang Sanfeng can be said to be a very famous real person in Taoism, and his biggest characteristic is that he is unkempt and sloppy. I said this to mock Kong Xuan's unshaven beard.

Kong Xuan didn't care, and continued: "Similarly, in the ghost world, there are also two kinds of people...... Uh, two kinds of ghosts. One is an ordinary ghost, which we call ghosts, and the other is a monk similar to the human world, who has a certain amount of mana, and we call it a god. ”

"That's how the ghosts and gods came." I feel that Kong Xuan has opened a door for me, and behind the door is a strange world, a world that I have never touched.

"The theory of ghosts and gods has been recorded in the history of various countries, but the language is different, so the name is different. A cultivator must penetrate yin and yang in order to enter the realm of Mahayana. Only those who have entered the Mahayana realm can travel back and forth between the yin and yang realms. Kong Xuan's face yearned, he definitely did not reach the Mahayana realm.

"Yin and Yang Realm...... Is it that the ghosts and gods of the netherworld are more powerful than people, our records are all ghosts eating people, and gods are above everything! I asked with some certainty.

", you live in human beings, and the records you see are naturally records from the perspective of ordinary humans." Kong Xuan said disdainfully.

"Oh? How to understand? ”

"The space in which humans and ghosts live is different, and ordinary people and ordinary ghosts cannot enter each other's space at will, only those who have reached the Mahayana realm and ghosts can. For example, two countries have a two-meter-high barrier on the border, which ordinary people can't climb, but the giants of these two countries can cross at will. When a country's giants rush into the other party's ordinary people, it is naturally immense; Similarly, the giants of the other side rushed into this side, and they were also unscrupulous. You said that ghosts eat people here, maybe in the records in the ghost world, their legend is that people eat ghosts! Kong Xuan said so much in one breath, and he didn't change his anger.

"Makes sense, too." I thought about it and digested Kong Xuan's words well.

"Understanding the Yin and Yang Realm, let's talk about the characteristics of the Yin and Yang Realm. The rules between heaven and earth are supreme, and there is a rule above the yin and yang realms that exists forever, and that is the rule of life and death. From the universe to bacteria, there is life and death, and nothing in the world can escape life and death. Speaking of this, Kong Xuan coughed vigorously twice and reminded me to pay attention: "Attention, the point is here." Do you know why some people can live to be hundreds of years old, while others die violently? ”

I hurriedly stopped him: "Hey, hey, who the hell can live for a few hundred years?" ”

Kong Xuan glanced at me with disdain again: "There are so many things you don't know!" The rules of life and death in the yin and yang world are not illusory things, but a book of life and death, so according to legend, everything in the world is in the book of life and death. ”

"And then?"

"The Supreme Law felt that the world was impermanent, so it left a back door for all the creatures in the Yin and Yang Realm, an opportunity to modify the book of life and death. If you can modify the book of life and death, you can control your own lifespan or the lifespan of others. To say an allusion, Qin Shi Huang's violent death was because someone modified his lifespan through the book of life and death. Kong Xuanyu was not shocked, and continued: "This person is Xiang Yu!" ”

"Fart! Fart! If that's the case, the world won't be in chaos, you modify mine, I'll modify yours. I said.

"You think it's a telephone pole on the street, and anyone can go up and put up a little advertisement? It's not that simple, if you want to change the Book of Life and Death, you must first summon the Judgment of Life and Death. In order to summon the judgment of life and death, you must gather seven fragments of the treasure of life and death. You should have seen Dragon Ball, right? That's pretty much what it means, you can summon a dragon by gathering seven dragon balls. "The example given by Kong Xuanju surprised me because I hadn't really seen Dragon Ball.

"Moreover, the seven fragments of the treasure book of life and death contain / the energy of yin and yang of heaven and earth, just like the yin and yang ancient money just now, only people with yin and yang physique can restore the seven fragments into a complete treasure book of life and death, that's right, you have a chance, you can summon the opportunity to judge life and death." Kong Xuan looked at me with a smile, "You can resurrect a dead person, or let a person die violently, or even you can make a person eight hundred years old." ”

"Uh...... Wait, wait. I swallowed, "Why can't it be immortality, but eight hundred?" ”

"As I told you just now, everything has life and death, and this cannot be changed. Moreover, eight hundred is a reincarnation, which can only extend the life of one reincarnation. You only have one chance, and you can only change a person's life and death. Kong Xuan said.

I lit a cigarette, closed my eyes and thought, half a sound, I opened my eyes and said: "Dude, those treasures of life and death are too far away, we are all in front of us, you say, what is the ghost of the Jinyang family?" ”
