Chapter 54: The Ghost Is Crying, the Dragon Is Laughing 3
readx;?“ Let's get straight to the point, you are a member of the Xia family, you must know some family affairs, and you want to know the secrets of some families. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 As a professional data collector, I have everything you want and am happy to give it to you. She said.
I bowed again: "Thank you, senior Geshu." ”
She shook her head: "Don't thank you, we will help you this time, you can help us next time, and no one will suffer if you exchange courtesies." ”
I looked at her, thinking that she would give me a notebook or something, because secrets are written in notebooks.
"My memories are all in my head—" she stroked her hair, "so I need someone to help me sort through and dissect this information accurately and profoundly, to find the most valuable things." ”
Since she said straight to the point, I was happy to obey my fate and immediately asked: "Senior, we read a passage in your notebook that is related to the 2013 flood in Jinan, which even mentions a legendary artifact 'Divine Water Mirror'. Recall that there is anything more to be added to this matter?"
She brushed away the messy hair that covered her eyes, and her clear eyes glanced at me.
I could feel her eyes as sharp as a scalpel, dissecting me wantonly.
The funeral parlor is a public place where people come and go, and her white hair is very weird, and if she is seen, it will soon spread ten, ten, and hundred, and become a well-known gossip. Therefore, it is better for her to live in seclusion in the woods, at least not to be disturbed by the laity.
"What do you want to know?" she asked.
Without hesitation, I replied: "With the knowledge of my predecessors, when I see the silver light, I will definitely get close to study it, and it is impossible to evacuate easily and let go of this opportunity to reveal the secret." At the time, I thought something else strange had happened that prevented you from coming forward. Isn't it?"
Regarding the super flood, many abnormal events occurred in various parts of Jinan, but then they were all gone, and it became a topic of conversation after dinner. For example, what I have heard the most is that there are huge "water beasts" in places such as the pole stone bridge, the moat, the Daming Lake, and the Xiaoqing River, jumping and playing in the waves, rushing left and right, and repeatedly haunting in the torrential rain.
Geshu Shuisleeve was silent, and in the end, his eyes closed slightly, as if he had forgotten my existence.
I looked at her, a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, and I blurted out: "Senior, it's not you who recorded this incident!"
This thought came out of nowhere, I thought so, Ge Shushui was full of gray hair, and he rarely went out to see people, let alone participate in rescue operations. She was a woman, and all the searches and rescues after the rainstorm were conducted by men, so how could the funeral director send her to the underground supermarket? The only explanation was that someone had participated in the rescue operation, told her about the situation, and then she wrote it down in a notebook.
She neither denied nor affirmed, but replied in a low voice: "No one knows what it is, and it wasn't until the murder that I vaguely realized that the girl had received an amazing revelation from the silver light." ”
"Silverlight told her about her lover's betrayal?Silverlight has some kind of foresight and can communicate with human brainwaves? is it? What other possibility?" I asked.
Under normal circumstances, if one of the men and women has an affair, they will carefully conceal it and not show their feet, and finally achieve "the colorful flags fluttering outside, and the red flags at home do not fall", and enjoy the blessings of all people. The girl who caught the rape and murder was deceived for a long time, which is enough to prove that her boyfriend is a very cautious person. Moreover, in this peaceful and prosperous world, few girls can dare to kill, which is a great event that requires great courage.
"Yes, I thought about it, it's only possible. She replied.
"You're missing out on one of the most valuable things. I sighed in disappointment, "Or rather, the person who told you about it, missed out on the most valuable thing." ”
If that silver light is the "Divine Water Mirror", then once Ge Shushui Sleeve grabs it, she will become a sensational figure, or she will take the "Divine Water Mirror" for herself and never show it to others.
"I dare say, it's a bad luck weapon. She sighed too.
"Man dies for wealth, and birds die for food. Even if it is a 'bad luck weapon', there are still many people rushing to it, and the team of people vying for plunder is like a carp crossing the river. I replied.
"You're smart. She said.
I immediately understood that the person who had just guessed that she was not the one who witnessed the strange thing had guessed correctly.
"The events recorded in the notebook are simply described, without any imagination or inference, in order to present the original state of every strange thing. Jinan is a large city in the Central Plains with a long history, which flourished in the Sui and Tang dynasties, sank in the two Song dynasties, and the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties were full of turbulence. In the period of the Republic of China, the Anti-Japanese War, and the Civil War, it was the ungoverned and chaotic era of 'the changing banner of the king at the head of the city'. It is a troubled time, there must be a lot of strange forces and chaos, my brother Shu family comes from outside the Guan, what the ancestors insisted on is to record history with a pen like a rafter, just like the ancients devoted their lives to the "Spring and Autumn" and "Tongjian". Also, the Geshu clan has been a servant of the Qi clan in the Central Plains for generations, and they are loyal to the Qi clan and have no two hearts. Therefore, everything the Geshu clan did was under the leadership of the Qi clan......"
Ge Shu Shuisleeve tells the history of the two ethnic groups in a deep voice, although the words are concise, but I don't know how many intricate and entangled historical origins are contained in it.
"The Qi clan is a great clan in the Central Plains, and its 'memory technique' is unmatched. If it weren't for the war, the masters of the clan would definitely be able to write historical classics that will last for centuries. I dare to say that none of the most famous and detailed historical materials in the world can compare to what is stored in the minds of the Qi clan, because the 'art of memory' is the method of remembering things in the primitive state of human beings, and they do not need to use pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and naturally record everything that happens in the human world in their minds. Such a history is a 'living' history, more advanced than the electronic databases that countries are vying to develop today. Fortunately, I, Qi Mei and my younger brother Shu Feitian have this kind of thaumaturgy, and in this generation, Qi Mei applied the 'art of memory' to officialdom politics, like a fish in water, left and right, and only then did he have the nickname of today's 'first guest in the provincial capital'......"
I've heard the name "the art of memory", and last year Greece held a global "King of Memory" competition, and the winner was Ganna, a tribal female elder from Iraq. At the award ceremony, Ganna, who is already 90 years old, refused to accept the trophy, but told the guests with great piety - "The real 'king of mnemonics' is in China, and the 'memory technique' of the Chinese Qi clan is the first thaumaturgy in the universe, and my memory is so good because I received the master's finger of that family when I was a child." ”
Qi Mei also said that he can find patterns in the arrangement and combination of the vast and sweaty records, so as to infer what is about to happen in the future.
It is conceivable that if a person can store all the things that have happened in the world in his own mind, then when he encounters any event, he can find similar examples from the memory bank, analyze and deduce the next development law of this matter, so as to obtain the most preferred control method and make the event get the most perfect ending.
The famous electronic computer group "Deep Blue," "Deeper Blue," and "Endless Blue," which were successfully developed by the United States at the end of the 20 th century, are based on the concept that "experience dominates the future." Although the computer is fast, it is based on cold mechanical algorithms, and cannot perform fuzzy logic operations like human brains. Therefore, Qi's "memory technique" is more clever than a computer, and it is beyond the reach of any computer in the world. Even if scientists were to be able to endow the computer group with "artificial intelligence" in the future, it would be a battle between Mustard and Mount Meru, far apart from each other.
"I thought that my younger brother Shu Feitian would have infinite achievements in the future, because his pursuit and research of strange things had reached the realm of obsession, and those notebooks were all excavated and recorded by him line by line - including the Great Flood incident, which he also told me on the phone, and then I recorded them one by one-" Speaking of this, the expression on Ge Shushui's face was sad and tangled, and he suddenly covered his face with his hands, speechless and choked.
"What happened to him?" I asked.
I knew that asking like this would make Ge Shushui even more sad, but I had to ask because of my limited time.
Ge Shushui nodded: "Yes, he disappeared." ”
"Disappear?" I couldn't understand the phrase.
"On the other day, he told me on the phone that he heard the ghost crying and the dragon laughing—" replied Ge Shushui, covering his face.
This is already the second time I heard the same words, it turned out that the initiator was Ge Shu Feitian, the younger brother of Ge Shu Shui.
"What kind of man is he?" I asked.
Among the strange people of Jinan, I don't seem to have heard of the name of "Geshu Feitian".
"He has a very high IQ and was obsessed with mathematics, physics and chemistry in school, especially solving Olympiad problems. When he was in high school, he experienced a high fever that lasted for seven days and seven nights, and after he recovered from his illness, he suddenly became interested in supernatural science, and participated in a secret spiritual cultivation meeting in Nepal, specializing in psychic arts, and pursuing barrier-free communication with spirits in other worlds. Later, he came here and did everything he could to improve his psychic abilities. He has a friend who has forgotten his old age, surnamed Guan, and lives on Qushuiting Street-" Geshu Shuisleeve replied.
I couldn't help but smile bitterly, it turned out that the intersection of all the strange events turned out to be here.
Ge Shu Feitian's old friend must be the official lady, the latter is a spirit medium, and the former is the pursuit of a higher realm than the spirit medium. Therefore, the two have similar interests and can naturally talk.
I thought to myself, "The two of them are old friends, the latter died without a problem, and the former disappeared for no reason—is there any other mysterious agreement between the two?"
"He told me on the phone, as you see in the account, three hours after the first entry into the underground supermarket with the rescue team on the third day after the 2013 Jinan floods...... "Ge Shushui stopped here, wiped his eyes, and looked at me steadily, "If he hadn't disappeared, and he was about the same age as you, he would have told you all that weird things today." My brother Shu family has been passed down to this generation, and there are only two of us. When he disappeared, the family could not be passed on. That's why I have gray hair. ”
In the Chinese concept of big family, passing on the family and reproducing for a hundred years is the top priority, whether it is the imperial relatives or the common people, they all attach importance to this. Therefore, there is an admonition in the old saying that "there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great".
I couldn't comfort my brother, so I could only smile bitterly.
"He told me on the phone that he was going to sneak into the supermarket alone and explore the place where the silver glow was shining. She continued.
I perked up, knowing that what Goshu Shuisleeve was going to say must be more mysterious than what was recorded in the notebook. Furthermore, Yan Gexing has already read the notebook, but he has not heard Ge Shu Shuisleeve's description with his own ears, and I will know more about this major clue related to the "Divine Water Mirror" than him.
As I talked to Koshu Shuisleeve, I looked at the cottage out of the corner of my eye.
Just standing outside the door, I feel that the hut is simple, clean and tidy, which is very suitable for living alone and hiding in the mountains and forests.
It was just the first impression, and when I was in it, I felt something different. I found that the corners of the hut, the brick joints, and the beam purlins all had hidden cables. In addition to ordinary lighting lines and communication lines, there are seven or eight thick black rubber waterproof lines. Usually, these wires are used to connect generators and high-power appliances. However, the hut was built in a poplar forest, and it was only used by Geshu Shuisleeve alone, so it was impossible for a large electrical appliance to exist.
I thought of the double-door gossip formation outside the hut again, and I vaguely felt that Geshu Shuisleeve had been deliberately guarding against some kind of potential threat.
So, with Qi Mei's current status, can't he still protect his wife? As the "No. 1 guest in the provincial capital," it is not difficult to mobilize the police or security contingent on the official side, not to mention that there are professional security guards at the funeral home. The only explanation - Goshu Shuisleeve is not an ordinary thug, but something inhuman.
"I just missed one thing - my brother has always had a dream since he was a child, a dream about the ocean, disappearance, black hole, crossing. In that long and chaotic dream, he fell into a huge well with no bottom in sight, and there was no way out, no end in it, and he could only swim in the endless and boundless well. It is impossible for a person to remain in the water for a long time, unless he becomes a fish. Or like the very early American TV series "The Man from the Bottom of the Atlantic", he finally assimilated with those visitors from the bottom of the sea and became the shark man mentioned in the ancient books. Geshu said.
The mermaid is a beautiful image that has been repeatedly praised by ancient Chinese poets. It's just that modern ocean-going scientists have verified that the mermaid is a fish, but it has nothing to do with "beauty", but is just a "humanoid sea beast".
"I think about it during the day, and I dream about it at night. Brother Ling's imagination is really rich, and he can even dream of being in the company of mermaids. I responded.
The American TV series "The Man from the Bottom of the Atlantic" is a sensational sci-fi drama in the 70s, which brought a fresh wind to the closed Chinese TV drama market and opened the door to the novelty of imported dramas.
Jinan is an inland city, 400 kilometers from Qingdao and the sea. From a psychological point of view, Ge Shu Feitian has such a dream, which can only represent two stubborn emotions in his heart. First, he longs for the sea, and second, he is afraid of the sea. Whether it is longing or fear, he has never been able to overcome this hurdle in his heart, so he has been dreaming the same since he was a child.
This passage just now must be very important, otherwise there is no need for Geshu Shuisleeve to add it separately.
