Chapter 36: The Gaia Hypothesis is Right and Wrong

I also said earlier that the reason why people in this world are afraid of death is because they are afraid of the cold and nothingness after death, because no one can come back from the other end of death, and the unknown mystery aggravates the fear, so they are so obsessed and crazy about "eternal life", from Qin Shi Huang to countless princes and generals later, this is the case, but on the side, Huo Erlang told us seriously that he came from hell.

This thing is really a bit of a slap in the face, and it's not swollen.

However, when I saw his serious, serious expression, I inexplicably believed it, and felt that he was not joking.

Ma Yiao also believed it, and he asked seriously, "What is it like there?" ”

Various religions describe the world after death, Buddhism talks about "six reincarnations" and "eighteen layers of hell", Taoism talks about "ghost towns and cities", and Christians talk about "hell and heaven...... However, in order to persuade people to do good, the world after death is polarized, and those who do evil go to "hell", and those who do good and accumulate virtue go to "heaven".

But in the eyes of modern science, after death, people are just a handful of loess, the body dissolves, the consciousness dies, and there will never be anything else.

This is a rather scary thing, and because of this, people are more willing to have faith and get sustenance after death.

At this time, Huo Jing's words make us look forward to it.

Seeing that Ma Yiao and I were both looking at him eagerly, Huo Jing sighed and said: "I'm not sure, that's the state of everyone after death, so there's no way to give you a reference - I just remember that I was dead at the time, and then merged into countless points of light, sank somewhere under the ground, and kept falling, I don't know how long it took, I felt the countless oceans of light, I felt countless consciousnesses flowing, when I was immersed in that ocean, I felt the immensity and vastness of an object, as if the whole world was going to ......"

I scratched my head, something was unclear.

And Huo Jing continued: "How to put it, I feel that everything I have experienced is so real, but for me, it seems to be just a dream, where I am definitely not an independent individual, nor do I exist in the flesh, I feel the coldness all the time, and I also feel that the consciousness around me is trying to devour me, as long as I have a little slack, it seems to be swallowed, and then there is no will - this situation makes me tremble, I dare not relax in the slightest, and the stalemate for a long time, It made me feel as if I was being tortured in the hell of Buddhism......"

"Finally, when I gritted my teeth and persevered, I finally saw some light that was different from the same kind around me, they seemed more shining, outstanding and special, making people have an inexplicable sense of familiarity, but not afraid, each of them was unique, these points of light in the sea of light, as if they had some kind of duty and authority, to know more, to see farther, I cautiously came into contact with them, and they seemed to treat me as my own kind, until one day, a voice said to meβ€” Your longevity is not over, go back......"

"The next second, I found myself lying in the mud at the bottom of the sea, I climbed out of the mud, I surfaced, and found that time had flown by, and I had been at the bottom of the sea for too long."

Hearing Huo Jing say this, I couldn't help but say, "You are lucky, you finally came back alive." ”

Huo Jing said with a smile: "Do you think I'm lucky? ”

After he finished speaking, he opened the collar to reveal the cyan skin inside, and the dark red to dark purplish red spots on it, some of which were cloud-like and lumpy, all gathered in one place and formed flake markings.

"Corpse spots?"

Ma Yiao saw it and blurted out, but I was confused and said in astonishment: "How can there be corpse spots on you?" ”

Huo Jing didn't explain, but stretched out ten fingers.

His slender ten fingers are like spring onions, but the nails are black and long, although there are traces of pruning, but the feeling is very sharp, and I still have an illusion, that is, Huo Jing's whole person, there is no life in this nail.

It was as if the nails were growing with the naked eye.

Ma Yiao raised his head, looked at Huo Jing, and asked slowly, "You, not a human?" ”

Huo Jing responded with a crying smile: "I don't know what I am - no matter how hot the day is, I will feel extremely cold, when I sleep at night, covered with seven or eight layers of quilts, I will freeze and shiver, and I can't sleep a peaceful night, but when I lie down in the cold storage where the food is stored at home, I feel extremely calm, and I can sleep until dawn; As for the food, as I just said, in addition to these top-notch teas, which can be eaten as usual, I eat it as if I am chewing, and it is disgusting......"

Ma Yiao fell into silence, and after a long time, he said to Huo Jing: "The demon yuan of the Yujiang Great Demon has been swallowed by you, right?" ”

Huo Jing didn't hide it, nodded and said, "Yes, but I didn't mean to." ”

Ma Yiao thought for a while and said, "This, maybe it's some of the side effects......

The two sides didn't talk more, drank tea, poured tea, and after a while, Huo Jing said: "Thank you very much for coming to my wedding, you are one of my few friends, although this is not a ceremony dominated by my wishes, but it is still very important for me to be able to get your witness." ”

Ma Yiao said: "It's a matter of duty. ”

Huo Jing pointed to his chest, and then said: "I have changed a lot, but this heart will never change, so I will always treat you as friends, and I called you over today, and this is what I want to express." ”

Ma Yiao and I both said in unison: "We are the same. ”

The two sides met, after a brief understanding of each other, did not continue to talk in depth, but talked about some anecdotes, almost after the time, we got up and said goodbye, and Huo Jing walked out and gave us a while, and then turned back.

On the way back, the two didn't talk much, and it wasn't until they boarded the boat and left the outlying island that Ma Yiao said to me: "Huo Erlang's words, do you believe them?" ”

My head was about to explode, because this meeting was so informative, so I'm still a little confused.

I said I didn't understand it a bit.

Ma Yiao said: "In fact, he said mysteriously, but it is not difficult to understand, as early as the end of the sixties of the last century, the British scientist James Lovelock through a number of investigations and research, put forward the 'Gaia hypothesis', that is, the earth's life and non-life forms a complex system that can interact with each other, this system in the long process of life evolution, has an independent will, it can affect all things through macro-control, some people call it 'world will', some people call it ' Dao', or 'Immortal Heaven', 'One True God'......"

I was shocked and surprised, and said, "The Gaia hypothesis? ”

Ma Yiao said: "If you want to know more deeply, I will recommend a few professional books for you to understand, and what Huo Erlang just said is actually very similar to the Gaia hypothesis, and in fact, I have always believed in this explanation, including our invitation to the gods, as well as the Lu Zu I met before, as well as the ancestors we worshipped, in fact, they are all spirits integrated into Gaia, but some spirits are relatively high in the realm before their deaths, so they will maintain enough independence and sobriety in the face of the will of the world......"

I finally understood: "And these spirits are actually the gods in our mythological system, right?" ”

Ma Yiao nodded, saying that it can indeed be explained in this way, but I think that when Huo Erlang said this, he actually had reservations, his eyes were looking down at that time, as if he had been preparing for a long time, and subconsciously did not dare to look at me, as if he was afraid of being exposed by me.

Yes?

I was about to believe it, but Ma Yiao said such a thing, which made me even more confused.

I told me what the hell was going on, I thought you believed what he said.

Ma Yiao shook his head and said that no one knows what the situation is in this matter, but it is certain that Huo Erlang should have fused Yujiang Demon Yuan, although there are some side effects, but most of the results are still perfect, so he actually has a strong cultivation, so the transfer of power after two days should be very smooth, but it is a pity that the little girl who married him......

Hearing this, I couldn't help but laugh, and said that you are quite pitiful.

Ma Yiao said: "You, you, if that little Japanese girl was replaced by Qin Liluo, you would not be so calm." ”

I glanced at him and didn't tease him again.

Indeed, people are selfish, if it were Qin Liluo, I might be furious, but others, I really can't empathize.

Ma Yiao raised his head, looked at the outlying islands in the distance, and muttered: "Although I say that, I don't know why, I always feel that in two days, I'm afraid there will be something big happening......
