Chapter 81: Yin and Yang are not distinguished
Can you imagine how excited I was to see Wuchen's expression? If this wasn't for the Ming Dynasty, I would definitely hug him and kiss him.
It's not that I'm afraid that he will scold me for being perverted, but in that era, there was much more civilization of this kind of thing than now, and I was afraid that he would misunderstand it and rely on me in the future.
The swing of the compass pointer just now, not to mention today, even in that era, is a very new thing, and they have to follow it to see it.
"I stayed at the inn and looked at the woman. Bai Qi said that he wanted to stay with Lu Yuxiu.
Although Lu Yuxiu was a little regretful, she was very obedient. Bai Qi was worried that something was going on with Zhang Lele.
"No, what if that Japanese devil comes again? You are good at fighting, but you are nothing in front of his nine-character mantra. "I'm not polite to him. This is a fact, which has been proven at the time of the "Happy Building".
In the end, Fang Tong and Bai Qi stayed, so that I could rest assured.
It was already cloudy, and it was even darker in the evening. This corner resembles the slums of the city, and the houses are built haphazardly, and they don't fit in with the whole city.
The gusts of wind, whirling, carrying the broken grass and leaves on the ground, blew me goosebumps. Ever since I knew that my soul could go out of my body as freely as Bai Qi, I had never dared to try to let my soul go out again. At this time, I suddenly felt that there was a force in my body that was stirring, and my soul had a feeling that I was about to come out.
Looking at the dust-free compass again, the pointer is also constantly shaking, so it must be closer.
"Brother Mu, there are a lot of lonely souls and wild ghosts here. Wuchen glanced at me, "Hey, Brother Mu, you ...... Are you alright?"
"I'm okay, what's wrong?"
"Let's go in?" "Wuchen made sure I was in the right state.
I nodded, suppressing the restlessness of my soul.
There is a road in front of you, and there is a large vat on the side of the road. Kind of like pickled pickles, with a wooden pot lid on top. The gust of wind made the road we were walking even quieter and stranger.
When I walked past the water tank, I didn't know if it was an illusion, but I felt the lid on the tank move slightly. I wanted to ask Wuchen if he was aware of it, and seeing him as if nothing happened, I put up with it. It was the first time I saw him with such a solemn face, and his eyes were always fixed on the wavering compass needle.
The deeper you go inside, the darker the scene becomes, and the air around you seems to be more solemn. It also smells uncomfortable. Maybe that's it in the slums.
What matters is why there is no one in it? Could it be that the invasion of the Northern Army has moved away, or is it all dead? So could it be the smell of rotting corpses wafting in the air, I thought crankily in my heart, and made myself nervous, in fact, mainly to let my soul rest down.
The roofs of those dilapidated houses are basically paved with straw. The walls are made of broken bricks and stones, and they are scrawled with mud mixed with straw to make them look like they are breathable. The even more dilapidated wooden door was so broken and closed that I wondered what it was like inside, whether it would be the same as what I saw in that small village when I first traveled to the Ming Dynasty. There are also those who open the door, and those who look into the black hole, and see nothing.
After walking for about a kilometer, I stopped without dust. It seems that all this road is walked against the city wall, and this slum seems to be built against the city wall. I looked at the compass in Wuchen's hand, and the pointer no longer swung, but circled there.
"What does that mean?" I couldn't read the compass, but I knew it wasn't a good thing.
"The yin and yang here are all messed up. Wuchen's brows were furrowed, and it seemed that he couldn't solve it.
"All messed up?"
"There is no distinction between yin and yang," Wuchen said, "Before Pangu opened the sky, heaven and earth were chaotic, and there was no distinction between yin and yang. It's like a little chaotic world. ”
"What's the use of you talking about this," I understood what he meant by "Yin and Yang are all messed up", "this matter still needs to be resolved." Are we surrounded?"
"I don't know, anyway, we don't have anywhere to go now, so we have to wait here. Without Yin and Yang, all the Dharma weapons and Dao Dharma on my body cannot be used. ”
This is called static braking if it sounds good, and it is slaughtered by others if it is unpleasant. It's all to blame for the broken compass of Wuchen, who took us to this place with all these things, and now tells us that we can't get out.
"If you can't, go back. "I couldn't help but stand in the middle of the road and couldn't move. Soon I will lose my fingers, and I don't know how I might die.
"Okay. ”
He couldn't stand it for a long time. The two of us turned around and walked back again, hoping to take a few steps and the compass re-pointed. We both looked at the needle of the compass and walked forward, and we didn't know how long we walked, until we couldn't see the pointer clearly, and then we stopped, and when we looked up, we saw what the street corner looked like. There is no shadow of the vats placed at the corner of the street?
"Is the compass still spinning?" I couldn't see the compass in Wuchen's hand anyway.
"Well, it's still turning. Wuchen couldn't see anymore, he put his hand on the compass and felt it, the pointer was still turning.
"We're not going to meet a ghost hitting the wall, are we?" I "keenly" felt that if I hadn't gone out for so long, I might be spinning in the same place.
The surrounding scene is no longer clear, how can I remember what it was like before.
"No, the so-called ghost hitting the wall, with our Taoist explanation, is still misdistinguishing yin and yang, that is, in a place where yin and yang are intertwined, relying on the sudden change of yin and yang flow, affecting your judgment. Wuchen began to give me popular science, "There is no yin and yang here at all." It stands to reason that we should be more sensitive. ”
He said that it was useless, but he would find a way to at least stop his compass.
Just when we were at a loss, there was a glimmer of light in the gap between the two rows of houses.
"Did you see that light?" I pointed to Wuchen, who should be able to see my arm.
"See, it's like a ghost fire. ”
Ghost fire is the product of the burning of phosphorus contained in bones or other humus in the air. Anyone who has studied chemistry in junior high school knows that the ignition point of white phosphorus is only 40 degrees. Then the ghost fire burning in nature should be mixed with some flammable substances that can reduce the ignition point of phosphorus. They in the Ming Dynasty didn't understand these scientific principles, so they thought there were ghosts.
"Let's go, go over and have a look. ”
"Ah, Brother Mu, I think it's better to be cautious......
I heard Wuchen's words, and my whole body felt that he was too facely, not a gentleman at all. Since the dumplings have been wrapped by others, both horizontal and vertical are a knife, it is better to see the real chapter as soon as possible. Ignoring his obstructions, I walked straight for the overzeal. If we were walking on the main street, the gap between the two rows of houses would be an alley.
Walking into a narrow place, a fat and thin person like me has to turn sideways.
"Brother Mu, slow down. ”
Wuchen knew that he couldn't resist me, so he followed behind.
As I walked forward, I always felt a little more and more struggling as I walked. The illusion that the alleys in front of me were about to merge made me feel depressed. But there is always a force that dominates me to keep going, and I vow not to give up until I catch that little bit of ghost fire.
"Brother Mu, be careful. ”
It's actually too late to hear the dust-free reminder. I saw a piece of fleshy arm flying towards me. The sword-like speed slowed down in my eyes, so slow that I couldn't wait for the arm to rush in front of me.
It was my soul that rushed out of my body, reached out and grabbed the arm, shook it hard, and threw it back directly.
"Rats, be brave enough to come out!"
My soul actually spoke, and I heard it with my own ears. I was a little dumbfounded. It's normal to hear yourself talking, but it's not like words if you don't know what you're going to say.
I tried to control my soul and pull him into my body like I did the day before yesterday in the "Happy Building". But I didn't know how to use that force. I want to attach my consciousness to the soul, but I can't.
Wait, why did I just walk in stunned? How could I be so reckless with my temperament that more is better than less.
It's over, I'm controlled by my own soul. Just like Bai Qi, the soul dominates the body. It's just that when I don't have a soul, my body is still conscious.
"Brother Mu, what's going on?"
