Chapter 23: Materialism and Heavenly Chance

Zhao Haipeng was a man educated in orthodox materialist philosophy, and his core ideas forever stayed between Confucianism and Marxism-Leninism. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Perhaps because of this unique perspective, Lao Zhao has been asking himself a question since he was very young, that is, what is a "ghost", and whether the bizarre events experienced by his grandfather and father are real or hallucinatory......

This problem has plagued Zhao Haipeng for many years, and after Lao Zhao became a soldier, this problem gradually changed in the process of his training as a soldier.

Zhao Haipeng thinks that if there are ghosts, then they should be a concept born from spirit, and spirit is a concept born from people's subjective thoughts.

In this way, asking whether there are ghosts in this world is tantamount to asking whether people's subjective thinking can objectively exist in this world.

The answer, obviously, is yes.

After all, human beings have objectively changed many aspects of the world by virtue of their subjective consciousness, and human subjective thoughts are born from the objective world, and so on......

Zhao Haipeng's final conclusion is: "To a certain extent, our consciousness is a part of this objective world, a materialistic substance, and the concept of 'ghost' or yin and evil should itself be a kind of material ......"

"Wait......" I wondered, "how did I listen to you talk and wrap myself in? Didn't you say that you don't believe in the existence of ghosts and gods? Why do you say that you believe in ghosts and gods now?" and say that ghosts are substances?"

"You don't understand what I mean...... Zhao Haipeng shook his head and said: "I mean to say that the concept of ghost is created by human thinking and environment, and it is the thinking that is amplified and preserved through a certain objective environment, so that it becomes a 'ghost' that we can see." ā€

Lao Zhao finally concluded himself: "Therefore, ghosts are actually special physical phenomena that appear after human biological consciousness cooperates with special time, place, space, and encounters special media such as electromagnetic fields. It's a physical phenomenon, don't you feel it?"

Zhao Haipeng's last sentence gave me the effect of enlightenment.

When I thought about it instantly, I realized that there was indeed such a meaning.

The first ghost I came into contact with was the bamboo poem, and the bamboo poem itself was attached to an extraordinary imperial kitchen knife, and in a way, the bamboo poem was a knife, and everything I saw was an "illusion" caused by the mutual use of this knife and my mind.

As for the "stiff head" and the oil wolf that I met later, they themselves are more in line with such existence, and they both have corresponding attachments, except that the former is a living person, while the latter is just a bottle that has been blessed by a cult.

They all control people in some way in order to achieve their goals.

From this, I thought about it and concluded to Zhao Haipeng: "...... Therefore, if you become a 'ghost', you must have had an adventure before and after death, such as having strong emotions or coming into contact with a special physical environment, and everyone who sees a ghost and encounters an evil spirit has a special reason before and after seeing a ghost!

"That's right!" Zhao Haipeng patted his thigh and said, "So I always think that ghosts, like lightning, thunder, and farting, are all special physical phenomena formed in a specific environment, as long as we can find the cause of its formation, we can prescribe the right medicine and find a solution to them!"

I can tell that when Zhao Haipeng said these words, he was also changing the law to boost my spirit, but what he said was indeed reasonable and correct.

However, there are still some things I don't understand, such as...... The existence of the goblin Wu Demon Lao.

In this regard, I asked Haipeng again: "Can ...... How can Elder Wu explain it? He is a true demon who has lived for hundreds of years, and he is not attached to anything...... That's what he said anyway!"

In this regard, Zhao Haipeng's face was a little lower, but he did not panic.

After a little silence, Lao Zhao raised his head and said something quite incomprehensible to me.

He actually said: "In a sense, this cat demon should be human...... But not people. ā€

What is the ...... If you say it, you don't say it, right?!

Seeing that I didn't understand, Zhao Haipeng said in detail: "...... I've told you before, my fifth ancestor once provoked a goblin and fell victim to a calamity. ā€

Zhao Haipeng's words, I know.

I still remember when I just hit the Yin disaster, Wu Demon Lao and Zhao Haipeng both said that the Zhao family once had an ancestor named "Zhao Buzhun", who had provoked a goblin who had experienced sixty-four tribulations before, and then the two sides "fought the method", and Zhao Buzhun won the goblin.

Thanks to the experience of the old man of the Zhao family, Zhao Haipeng was able to come up with a way to "bet" to avoid the disaster, and then temporarily save my life.

Therefore, I immediately replied, "Yes, but which goblin did your ancestors provoke, and what does that goblin have to do with your family...... You didn't say that. ā€

Hearing this, Zhao Haipeng rarely showed a proud smile, that kind of smile I have never seen before.

However, I can see that the deeds of "Zhao Buzhun" to avoid the disaster are definitely the most glorious page of the history of the Zhao family.

Even after a few hundred years, when the descendants of the Zhao family mentioned it, they still had a bright face.

With that kind of family glory, Zhao Haipeng told me: "I don't know this too specific story, I only know a rough idea, hehe......"

Zhao Haipeng said that when his fifth ancestor's grandmother provoked a famous white fox immortal on the outskirts of the capital, that guy had to destroy the entire Zhao clan to relieve his anger.

But later, when this goblin came to the door to beg for his life, he didn't know how to change his hexagram, and actually agreed with his fifth ancestor Zhao Buzhun, and the two sides used the method of betting to decide the life and death of the whole clan.

Later, the two sides went back and forth and played a "long bet" for ten years, during which there were mutual victories and defeats, and it was difficult to distinguish between them......

"In the end, your ancestor won and saved the lives of the whole family?" I scratched my head.

"Why don't you win!" Haipeng said proudly: "The fox spirit lost even his net worth, and gave birth to two children for my fifth ancestor, namely my sixth ancestor Zhao Hu'er and my grandfather Zhao Zhengbai, until now our hometown still says that the fox is related to my family, and it is a 'mother's beast'......"

...... I was quite speechless when I heard Zhao Haipeng's words.

Feelings: This Zhao family is the descendant of fox spirits! It's too nonsense.

When I was in high school, biology was not good, but I also knew "interspecific isolation", "hybrid disadvantages", etc., even if humans and foxes can really have "offspring", it is also a hybrid product, and there is absolutely no possibility of continuing to reproduce, unless ......

Suddenly, I was stunned by my own reasoning!

In an instant, I immediately asked Zhao Haipeng, "It is impossible for humans and foxes to have offspring, unless the fox spirits have become human beings in some way?"

Zhao Haipeng nodded and said: "That's exactly what it means, and my fifth ancestor had his last words when he was dying, and from his last words, it seems that this conjecture can also be proved from the side!"

After that, Zhao Haipeng told me again that he, the fifth ancestor, spied on the "Heavenly Machine" because of the reason that he married the fox demon, knew the truth about the cultivation of the goblin, and also understood how this animal became a "human" step by step. (To be continued.) )
