"I see. Xixi suddenly spoke.

"What?" I turned to look at her.

"This was a failed experiment, and that's not what we're focused on. Now, the biggest obstacle is the 'Infantile Technique', and if you can't do the true 'Virgin Sacrifice', you won't be able to find the truth. Any superficial effort is meaningless, and we must do the real 'sacrifice of boys and girls', which is the only solution. Xixi said hurriedly.

"Keep going, keep talking!" cried out Redsleeves on the other side.

Xixi stopped for more than ten seconds, his brows furrowed, his head looked up, his lips moved rapidly, as if he was calculating something at high speed.

"This is the battle between the 'Outer World' and the 'Inner World'—" she spoke again, "The sacrifices made by the ignorant and foolish people belong to the 'Outer World', and what they give is not what the one who eats the offerings really need. They are just fools, and the Spring and Autumn sacrifices are all in form, the same, and unchanged for thousands of years. Just imagine, if you worship God as God is, you must have God in your heart to make a humble and reverent appearance. If there is no god in the heart, then what is the point of kneeling for a long time, kowtowing more, making abundant offerings, and making frequent sacrifices? ”

I understood the meaning of Xixi, that the sacrifice of the "surface world" model is useless, and that there must be a good channel of communication with the object of worship in order to come to them and receive real enlightenment.

"Tell me about the 'inner world'?" I asked.

"That's the world of dragons, and its time may be in the flood of the past, or in the cement and concrete jungle of the future. As long as you make a real sacrifice, you can get there. Xixi let out a sigh of relief, with a smile of relief on her face, "I finally ...... I'm so happy to finally find the truth, so happy!"

All great truths are hidden in the details of life, and if you find one, you can use it for a lifetime.

I also breathed a sigh of relief, after being entangled for so long, I was at least infinitely closer to the truth, just waiting for the moment when the curtain opened.

"I get it, I get it!" Red Sleeves let out a cry of delight on the other end.

The debate between the "surface world" and the "inner world" has a long history, and countless applied physicists, metaphysicians, and thaumaturgists around the world have expressed their opinions on this issue. This problem can also be simply expressed as the dispute between the "spiritual world" and the "material world". What human beings see before their eyes is the material and superficial world, while the spiritual level is invisible and hidden by the naked eye.

The realm that can be achieved through the "sacrifice of virgins and virgins" is unimaginable to ordinary people, and only ancient sorcerers and modern impermanence can know.

"What is a false sacrifice? What is a real sacrifice?" I asked again.

If there is some kind of standard for "true and false sacrifices", who will set and judge this standard?

"A boy and a girl are not ignorant children, but a mixture of the appearance of a child and the mind of a wise man. Through such boys and girls, the worshippers communicate with the worshippers in the underworld, so as to break through the barriers of wisdom and reach unimaginable heights. Red Sleeves replied.

She was so far away from us, but all the conversations here were clearly audible.

"Who sacrifices this time?" I muttered.

The sacrificial offering of the same kind is already a category of sorcery, and it is bound to be hated and despised by decent thaumaturgists.

"The loser is unspeakable. The girl said.

The boy also complained angrily: "That's not fair, we are at the mercy of others, and we have not yet shown true wisdom." Everybody wants us to speak, but no one listens to what we say. The experiment was doomed to fail from the start, I had expected it. Now, the only remedy is to start over. ”

I know that the only person who can explain and remedy it at the moment is Elder Wen, who has done a lot of things before, and whether it is right or wrong, he must stand up and deal with this mess.

"Mr. Xia, I know where the real virgins are. Redsleeves approached, surveying the three men in the Golden Prison, especially the girl closest to me.

"Where?" I asked.

"Haha. Redsleeves laughed twice, then shut up and didn't answer my question.

My mind was in turmoil, and I couldn't keep up with the rhythm of the Red Sleeves for the time being. She should know a lot of things, but in front of so many people, she must not tell the truth.

Just when I was in a dilemma, the phone in my pocket suddenly rang, and an unfamiliar Jinan number was displayed on the screen.

I answered the phone, and I just said "hey", and the other party called out my name: "Summer Stone? I'm Wen Taihe." ”

It was the voice of the Elder, and as soon as he spoke, I could hear it.

"Elder Wen, do you have any advice?" I turned on the hands-free without hesitation, so that Xixi and the red sleeves could be heard.

"Mr. Xia, I don't dare to say the word 'advice'. I just wanted to talk to you about a few words about some little issues that have been bothering me for a long time. He said.

"For example?" I asked calmly.

"For example, my terrible experiment, such as the painting wall in front of me, such as the road I want to take in the future, such as the future of the beggar gang, such as how our older generation will transfer power to the next generation, such as the 'surface world' and 'inner world' and so on...... Too many questions. He replied.

"Then I'll listen to you. I said.

"Not only can we listen, but we can see each other. Elder Wen said.

I looked up at the roof quietly, and if he could see me, it must have been through a hidden camera.

"Hehe, don't look for it, I'm here, you listen carefully-"

"Woo-ha-woo-ha", I heard the rhythmic whistling sound of the elder, which came clearly from the speaker of the mobile phone. Strangely, I heard the same sound in my ears, coming from the right side of the Golden House.

The hands-free sound of the phone is loud and can be heard by everyone present.

"There!" all eyes turned to the ruined mural.

"Elder Wen, are you behind the mural?" I asked.

Elder Wen replied, "That's right, I'm here. ”

Everyone looked at each other, and they didn't dare to act rashly.

I hurried forward, three steps in front of the mural.

The walls can't be seen through, but there's no pinhole camera to see from above. It's puzzling, and I don't understand how Elder Wen can see me.

"If you get closer, you'll see me. Elder Wen's voice came again.

Xixi shouted behind me: "Mr. Xia, please come forward and talk, don't get too close to the mural, beware of deception." ”

I originally had the same concerns, but if I didn't enter the tiger's den, I would be able to get the tiger, and since I heard the elder remind me to get close to the mural, I couldn't show my weakness clearly, but I was underestimated by him.

The scratches on the mural are shocking, definitely some kind of animal claw marks, not knife marks, of different shades, thick and thin.

I took two steps forward, and at the moment I was only one step away from the wall, about seventy centimeters.

"Elder Wen, why bother with the mystery?" I asked in a deep voice.

Elder Wen laughed, and his voice was like a bell: "Hahahaha, it's not me who is playing tricks, because only in this way can you understand the difference between the 'surface world' and the 'inner world'." You might as well take a step closer, cling closer, and you'll be able to see me. ”

My heart moved, and he reminded me several times that I could see him, which must have hinted that there was some kind of mystery in the mural.

As I took the last step, the tip of my nose was only half an inch away from touching the claw marks on the mural.

Suddenly, a silvery white shimmer appeared on the mural, as if hundreds of fireflies were lying there, glowing silently and motionless.

Now, the mural has become like a gauze, and through the countless small holes in the "gauze", I can see the space behind the mural.

Elder Wen sat cross-legged in an iron-blue cave - behind the mural was supposed to be a cave, the size of which was about a meter high, half a meter wide, and half a meter deep, just enough to accommodate Elder Wen's body. In the past, I saw the sitting Buddha in the niche grotto in the Thousand Buddha Mountain Ten Thousand Buddha Caves, just like Elder Wen at this time.

"I know what you're looking for, but there are many things in the world that don't have answers. The so-called answers you are looking for are nothing more than the endings set by others. It doesn't make sense for you to get this ending, it's just a node in the journey of life, not the end. The deeper you are obsessed, the farther away you are from the truth. Only cultivators who are hidden under the Nine Shadows can attain eternal life, just like me now. He said.

What I want is the truth of the Tiegong Temple incident back then, and how can I really avenge my eldest brother by killing Elder Wen alone? Everyone who participated in that incident had to pay for their crimes. If I don't have any attachment to this, then there is nothing to be attached to in this life.

"Elder Wen, tell me, what am I looking for?" I asked lightly.

At this moment, although I could see him, I knew very well that the mural was impenetrable.

"You want to save the world, you want to stand up for all the injustices, you want to be the leader of tens of millions of people, you want to turn all the bad things you have experienced in the past, you want to make all the injustices fair, you want to pierce all the black curtains, and make the world clear...... Hehe, at this moment, I saw the hot blood and all the desires rolling in your heart. It's good to be young, because you can have countless ambitions, even if these ambitions are simply unrealistic, hehehehe......" Elder Wen sneered deeply.

What I really want to know is the identity of Elder Wen, he doesn't say it, I don't ask about it, so I don't have to rush it. In the right opportunity, the "hysterical technique" of the Red Sleeve Trick will help me achieve my goals.

"If you don't come, your people won't go. If I were you, I'd come right over and take them away. I said.

Elder Wen shook his head: "That's not the point, whether they go or not depends on the will of heaven." The heavens will kill them, and they will be the same whether they go or not, and they will be the same wherever they go. Can't you see that I'm now a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and I can't protect myself. ”

I tried to see what was going on around him, and I didn't believe he was in trouble.

Amazingly, when I was engrossed in my gaze forward, I realized that Elder Wen's dwelling place was not a cave, but the belly of a huge creature. The creature kept moving, and Elder Wen followed it sideways, stopping and stopping.

"Where are you?" I asked, in a scare.

"Inside the crab navel. Elder Wen replied.

This answer is very strange, which immediately reminds me that in the past, there was a "battle of the White Snake Water Manjinshan Temple" in the rivers and lakes, and its sworn enemy Fahai Monk finally had to hide in the crab navel in order to avoid the pursuit of the green and white snakes, and used the hard shell of the crab to hide his whereabouts, and never dared to return to the world. If Elder Wen also hid there, how was it different from Fahai Monk?

"What are you hiding?" I asked.

"I'm not afraid of death, but I was born with talent, and I must be useful, and I can't die like this, so I have to hide. Elder Wen replied.

"Who's going to kill you?" I asked.

"I don't want to say, you don't know the best. The more I know, the more terrified I am of the world—it's coming, it's coming!" Elder Wen cried violently.

His meditating posture changed instantly, his arms turned up steeply, his fingers crossed, and he formed the "Buddha Gate Lion's Roar, Ten Directions Fearless Handprint", and his palm was attached to the top of the cave where he was located.

In that position, his chest and abdomen were wide open, and he was completely defenseless. In other words, he deliberately exposed the empty door to lure the enemy in, hide his backhand, and fight the enemy to the death.
