Chapter Twenty-Four: Closing the Door and Fighting Ghosts

Yao Ji is the daughter of the Southern Heavenly Emperor (Yan Emperor) in Chinese legends, and very few people know about it, in addition to this, there is also a widely spread name - Wushan Goddess. The people who know the obscure name of Yao Ji are either scholars who study mythological classics, or lovers of Chinese Chu culture, and may even be the old Chu people.

Being able to teach a top network master like "Yao Ji", and having the power to be named among her many teachers, is definitely not an ordinary person. There happens to be such a celebrity information in Man Jianghong's viewing, Shi Boyuan, a Chinese European, Taishan Beidou in the computer science industry, and his ancestral home is Bashu Wushan. But Shi Boyuan, as a grandmaster-level figure, is willing to be a tutor?

"The teacher who named it is called Shi Boyuan, and you are from Europe?"

Man Jianghong directly skipped information analysis and logical reasoning and gave the ultimate answer.

Conversations between geniuses, no need to explain!

Yaoji didn't ask stupidly with wide eyes like Wang Jing, "How do you know", and simply replied:

"Yes. ”

The guess was immediately confirmed, and Man Jianghong was speechless in shock for a while.

Such a family background can no longer be described as "noble", even if it is as noble as the president of the Earth Federation, it is difficult to invite the grandmaster to be a tutor. What's more, it's not one, but a group!

Yaoji's face showed sadness that did not match her age, and she said in a low voice:

"Isn't it the same everywhere? I can't go out anyway, and no one plays with me. Ten years on, to this day, you are the first outsider to speak to me. ”

The ten-year-old girl is the age of innocence, feeling the novelty and beauty of the world like a bud, but these cannot be reflected in Yao Ji's words, only sharpness, loneliness and sadness.

Man Jianghong can understand such a state of mind, because he also lived in such an environment before the age of ten, living a worry-free life but lonely spirit. No one knew that it only took him three months to read the full set of primary and junior high school textbooks that his grandmother had collected with great difficulty, no one knew that he could mentally calculate and complete the square and directly analyze the three-dimensional geometry in his mind, and no one knew that he wanted to catch up with the starlight of tens of billions of years ago when he looked up at the Milky Way on a summer night. There was no one to communicate with, let alone guide, so he could only use branches on the sand to deduce formulas that he had never seen and knowledge that he did not know. The textbook that was turned over was thrown into the stove one day and was snatched out by my grandmother painfully. Although he loves his grandmother, the simple villagers, and the peaceful lake town, his heart is still full of sadness in the face of a life that can see the future at a glance.

This situation continued until Zhu Fugui's arrival, which brought him outside stories, especially the computer that could connect to satellites, which opened a vast and wonderful new world window for him.

But even in the loneliest time, he is happier than Yaoji, at least he has a grandmother who regards him as the pearl of his palm, rhubarb who protects him every step of the way, and enthusiastic villagers and friends, at least he is free to move, and can go to the trees to dig birds' eggs, go down to the river to catch crabs, and tie a kite to fly in the sky.

He understood that Yao Ji was not an ordinary little girl, and she didn't mean to stutter at all, but she was really distressed. Because she is an orphan like herself, so smart that she can't find someone to talk to, a genius who is amazing but trapped in a corner, and who doesn't feel the joy of life at all, and because she has just provided so much valuable information without the slightest desire to ask for anything in return.

"Yaoyao, will I be your sister? We are all orphans, and I will have a sister in the future, and you will also have an older brother. ”

"Brother, what does that mean?" the little girl frowned, as if puzzled.

Man Jianghong was embarrassed, and he was stuck all of a sudden, and he didn't know how to explain it. Then I thought that Yao Ji had only seen servants, doctors, and teachers since she was born, and she didn't know the world, so she explained softly:

"He may not be related to you by blood, but he will accompany you when you are lonely, protect you when you are afraid, and teach you when you are messing around. He is not the closest person in your life, but he will always love you. ”

"But what's in it for him?"

This sentence really poured down the red thunder of the river.

How to explain human emotions? Seeking advantage and avoiding harm are common traits of all living beings, but the ego can be sacrificed for the sake of the population, and the life can be sacrificed for the sake of emotion.

"The good thing is that when he's happy to see you, he's happy too. ”

"But you'll never see me for the rest of your life!"

"Stupid, haven't we met, when my brother has money, I'll go to Europe to see you. ”

"No, I don't want you to see it, it's ugly!"

"Yaoyao is not ugly, Yaoyao is the most beautiful, smartest and most powerful little sister in the world!"

The little girl was a little scared at first, but then jumped up happily.

"Hee-hee, I have a brother, I have a brother!"

With a "pop", a pouting red lip appeared on the screen. Man Jianghong watched her bounce on the crescent moon, her heart was full of joy, but a trace of doubt flashed in her mind.

Is this her real reaction? Shouldn't the aristocratic little girl's education be reserved and subtle?

The doubts were just a flash, and they were quickly suppressed by him, and even felt ashamed in their hearts. Have I been in a terrible environment for a long time, and even a ten-year-old girl doubts, but she has no reservations about what she wants!

"Brother, there's one thing I'm so scared to tell anyone!" the little girl hugged her thin shoulders, her eyes gloomy, and she lowered her head.

There is actually something that makes Yao Ji, who has great powers, also afraid?

Man Jianghong was slightly surprised, and said quietly: "Don't be afraid, Yaoyao told my brother that my brother must find a way." ”

"I found a ghost!"

"What's going on?"

"Five years ago I spotted a ghost peeping outside the castle, but I didn't dare tell anyone. In the past two years, the ghost has become more and more powerful, and has become more and more bold, often sneaking in in the middle of the night. I knew it was looking for me, scared to death. ”

Man Jianghong fully understands Yaoyao's loneliness and fear, a little girl who claims to have seen a ghost is very likely to be sent to a mental hospital, so she can only hide it and can only bear it independently.

"Do any of your teachers have mages, scholars who study paranormal phenomena, or religious people?"

As soon as the words came out, Man Jianghong knew that Bai asked, Yaoyao was obviously trained in cutting-edge science, how could there be a teacher who taught mystical culture, but in an instant, another confusion flashed through him, the family background was noble and rich, the only heir was young and sick, and the guardian should focus on treatment rather than learning. There is also a possibility that the treatment was carried out simultaneously, and the study arrangement was the discovery of Yaoyao's unusual talent.

"Nope. ”

Yaoyao replied dejectedly.

"Why is it looking for you?"

"Because in this world, I am the only one who can see it, and it wants to kill me. Every time it slipped into the castle and went from side to side, I hid and didn't dare to make a sound, and I trembled with fear. Brother, am I dying?"

"Yaoyao, don't be afraid, with my brother here, my brother will never let it move a hair of your hair!" Man Jianghong said categorically.

He knows that fear comes from the fantasy in the bottom of your heart, and when you choose to face it, it retreats, and this is the time to help Yaoyao muster up courage.

Yaoyao calmed down under Man Jianghong's comfort, and according to her panicked narrative, that ghost might have come from another world, and was constantly grabbing resources to increase its strength.

But Yaoyao's narrative stops awkwardly at every critical point, because the castle has strict rules of secrecy. Through those incomplete chains of evidence, Man Jianghong gradually pieced together a picture, and that one ghost was so powerful that it was entirely possible to control the entire world. At present, the powerful forces behind the teachers can threaten the survival of the ghosts, but the biggest threat to the ghosts comes from Yaoyao herself, because only she can see it.

Then design a trap, invite you into the urn, close the door and fight the ghost.

The key to the plan that Man Jianghong drew up for Yaoyao is that Yaoyao needs to induce the teachers to find traces of the existence of "ghosts", and then design traps to "fight ghosts", so that they think that all this is completely out of their own decisions.

Big Devil, Beautiful Girl, Save the World!

This is the anime's favorite bridge.

Man Jianghong didn't think it was true.

Just imagine, anyone who is confined to a hospital bed in a dark castle day after day, year after year, can only be accompanied by a computer, and does not have some dark fantasies in his head, let alone such a genius and sensitive girl. He believed that all this was due to Yaoyao's hallucination, and since he couldn't bear to break it, he would play with her. Whether the "ghost" is caught or not, the fear will be reduced or even eliminated during the operation.

Fear stems from fantasy, and action is the most effective form of treatment.

At the time, he thought so.

But I don't know the development of events later, the strange and strange are out of imagination, and the profoundness is immeasurable, and history has been introduced into another channel.

After getting the opportunity from Man Jianghong, Yaoyao danced with her hands, and was so excited that she immediately went to arrange the "Sky Stealing Trap".

Over the next few days, they met and chatted on and off. In addition to the growing intimacy of the relationship, there is also the meaning of a small competition. As a result, Man Jianghong's data processing and logical induction capabilities exploded in front of Yaoyao, especially when it came to network technology and information capture, and someone who was proud but not professional felt like a scumbag.

Not only does she have huge resources, but she must have used very powerful tools, which are not comparable to the big road goods in her own hands, someone comforts herself.

Since it's so powerful, I'll leave the glorious task of searching for information to you!

When he did this, Yaoyao was also very happy, and she was always more concerned than her own affairs. After finishing it, seeing that he hadn't assigned a new task for a long time, he would urge, "What else are you looking for?"

But some of the martial arts cheats that Yaoyao can find are not too valuable, and they belong to well-known things. As for the cultivation of the true exercises, they are even rarer, and they are all from the popular Taoist classics, not only do they not have detailed operating rules, but the key points are also vague. It looks beautiful, and you don't dare to copy it unless your head is in water.

"Don't look for it, the cheats of each sect are hidden in the deep pavilion, how can they be posted on the Internet?" he said helplessly.

"No!" her eyes widened, unwilling.

Yaoyao's strengths lie in rational logical analysis and data processing, and her shortcomings are also very obvious, and her perceptual cognition is extremely poor, which is equivalent to a three-year-old child. She can't skip the superficial process and get to the core like Man Jianghong, which means that she lacks the "intuition" that people often say, although intuition does not guarantee to be 100% correct. In addition, although she has strong computing and reasoning skills, she needs enough data links to support it, and once a link is missing from this chain, it will be difficult to continue the follow-up work.

Well, vague cognition needs to be improved! Man Jianghong threw away her own "The Root of Everything - Consciousness, Thinking, and the Analysis of Dreams" and told her to figure it out.

For the state of the world and human feelings, she is even more blank. She couldn't understand why Zhu Fugui only earned a few hundred yuan a month by picking a merchant to go to the village and township, but he tried his best to support Man Jianghong's monthly Internet access fees of thousands of yuan. Of course, Zhu Fugui obviously has other ways to get money or a small treasury, but it is an indisputable fact that he is thrifty to the point of harshness.

Man Jianghong also told Uncle Hu's case, which almost collapsed Yaoyao. Uncle Hu gathered a group of hometown people to open a scrap collection station in the reclamation area, and there were always two packs of cigarettes in the bag, 25 yuan for the Furong King and 5 yuan for Baisha. Entertain guests with the king of hibiscus, smoke white sand by himself, and give white sand to his workers. However, when he smokes with the guests, he also smokes the king of hibiscus and will not smoke white sand; when he is in a bad mood, he also smokes the king of hibiscus in private; when he is very happy, it is also the king of hibiscus who is given to the workers, and he smokes whatever he catches.

Why? Why?

Just two packs of cigarettes immediately stunned the genius girl Yaoyao. She blinked her big watery eyes, looked at Man Jianghong pitifully, and almost cried. Man Jianghong explained to her the "face", "emotion" and other things that can affect people's behavior, and finally rose to the height of values.

In fact, Man Jianghong's life experience is also extremely poor, when he was in the countryside, his interpersonal relationships were very simple, and he only gained white eyes from begging and wandering, and he was still at the bottom of society after arriving in the reclamation area. When a person is struggling to survive, there is not much scheming. The final battle before leaving the reclamation area was the one he used the most thoughts. No way, the strength is not enough!

He is unwilling to spend precious brain energy on pondering people's hearts, so sometimes it may seem a little "two", but it does not mean that he does not understand in his heart. By guiding Yaoyao, who was like a blank sheet of paper, he also sorted out his life, and some details that had been overlooked before now presented new content. For example, on the night he left Hezhou, why did Zhu Fugui throw his beloved handheld computer into the pond, why would he rather be crucified than detonate the grenade and die with the old cow's nose, for example, why did his grandmother still lean on the chaimen for a long time after he walked far away, for example, why did the thin man in the van stab himself inexplicably......

In an ordinary life, most of the people I come into contact with are kind and loving, will it be like this in the future?

He always felt that he was as simple as Yaoyao, and he came into contact with good people, but he didn't treat her as a human being, which aroused infinite love and pity in his heart. And, of course, pride. Whoever has such a powerful little sister will be proud!

Yao Ji was strongly disgusted by her name, and after asking, she realized that it was due to the legend that King Chu Huai met the goddess in the Tang Dynasty, thus leaving an allusion to the love between men and women in the paragraph "Wushan **". After Man Jianghong heard what she said, she smiled dumbly, the Taoist goddess is the daughter of the Emperor of Heaven, and the king of a country is a little insect to her, how can she "recommend herself to the pillow" and come forward to ask for joy.

Both of them are extremely knowledgeable, and after some research, it was found that "A Dream of Wushan" was first published in Song Yu's "Gao Tang Fu" and "Goddess Fu", and the attitude of patting the Chu royal family's sycophants is very obvious, and it is a lonely evidence, which is almost certainly apocryphal. In the pen of Song Yu's teacher Qu Yuan, there is an image that is very close to the legendary goddess, and that is the mountain ghost recorded in "Nine Songs".

Through the study of "Nine Songs", Yaoyao fell in love with another mythological character - Shao Si Ming, the goddess spirit of low status but holding a long sword to protect the women and children of the world. She even came up with a novel but logical idea that the beautiful elf "Mountain Ghost" in the mountains grew into Shao Si Ming, and finally evolved into the goddess of Wushan.

She didn't say a word about the "Sky Stealing Trap", and he didn't ask.
