Episode 1: Otherworldly

In 1907, Duncan McDougall of Halvoshan, Massachusetts, USA

ca

Dr. MacDougall placed six dying patients on a special bed and weighed them at the moment of their death.

According to McDougall's experiments, the weight of a person at the moment of death is 21.3 grams lighter than before death.

Is this 21.3 grams really the weight of the soul of the deceased? Does the soul really have weight? What does the soul of the dead look like? Where does the soul go?

The year 2000 is a millennium, a full century has passed, and a new era has begun.

Many mad scientists and prophets have predicted that this year will be the beginning of the end of the world, that human beings will be destroyed by the forces of nature or by the forces of the universe or by the power of Satan, and that all living things on earth will be devoured by all kinds of terrible things.

Mountain collapse, volcanic eruption, tsunami, earthquake, flood, storm, nuclear explosion, celestial collision, catastrophe will cover the entire earth, rocks in the mantle, magma will cover the entire surface, all the water will seep into the ground, the earth will become a planet that looks completely petrified, and then the moisture in the air will freeze rapidly, and then the temperature will drop below minus 300, and the gas will be solidified,

The Earth will enter another terrible frozen age, and the blue planet will become white......

In 400,000 years, new species, new climates, and unimaginable landscapes will be born, reproduced, and evolved on this planet again......

These scientists and prophets could not bear this terrible phenomenon, and they went crazy and committed suicide. However, it seems that these madmen were wrong in their predictions......

In the blink of an eye, it has come to July 2000, the northern hemisphere is in the hot summer, the weather is very good, people have nothing special to do not come out and the sun can not pass, the temperature of 38 degrees does make many people feel anxious, sweating is a trivial matter, the key, such a temperature makes people feel that breathing is very difficult, more like being covered with a cloth like pain.

There is a junction on National Highway 304, which the locals call "Death Intersection", and the transportation facilities here are among the best in the country, but 38 people died in one year.

When it comes to National Highway 304, people in the know will tell you about an intersection of National Highway 304 next to the pilgrimage temple, there are no traffic lights here, pedestrians are not allowed to cross the road, but there are many people waiting to cross the road at any time, and the locals call this intersection "Death Intersection"

The scorching air steamed the person's time limit into a trance, and a person came in the distance, under the scorching sun, carrying a small bag, while walking, while sending the frozen drink in his hand to his mouth, his name is Song Yufei, such a hot day is still facing the sun, no wonder he, the Song family has been passed down through the generations, and the ancestors are recorded as one son, and it is very strange, they are all one son, and there has never been a generation that said that they gave birth to daughters, and they all gave birth to only one.

Song Yufei is eighteen years old this year, his father had a serious illness for no reason a few years ago, and his mother left home when he was twelve years old, and the divorce procedures have not been completed.

After his father became ill, the family's only source of income became a problem, he was still in high school, and he could graduate next year, which is good, not to mention tuition, and even eating at home has become a problem, let alone going to school.

My father's illness never improved, so he had to return home from the hospital, recuperate at home every day, and rely on him to feed him.

Even so, his father still strongly demanded that Song Yufei must go to the pilgrimage far away from home before noon on the seventh day of the first month of every month to burn incense and kowtow, and the strange thing is that it is just to burn incense and kowtow, the key is that it must be at noon, since the age of sixteen, it has been burning for four years, and he has not burned incense within the specified time several times, and he doesn't know how his father knew, and he was scolded by his father for being bloody.

Kowtowing does not have to be in the hall of the Taoist temple, as long as you enter the temple gate and burn the incense, you can start kowtowing.

Song Yufei's father told him to do it no matter what, saying that he was worshipping his ancestors.

Song Yufei has also read these books, he is not superstitious, let his father recuperate mainly and not be superstitious, if the ancestors are really so blessed, we should be blessed with a little wealth, at least to be able to eat, see a doctor, and go to school.

But his father was very angry when he heard it, and kept scolding him for not saying anything, and told Song Yufei that if he didn't go to Shangxiang and kowtow on time, he would go on a hunger strike and die to show him.

It's worth it, forget it, burn incense.

Song Yufei walked to the side of the road and looked at his watch, it was already 11:55, it seems that he was late this time, and he blamed the BUS that he was sitting on when he came because it was too hot and smoked.

Song Yufei looked left and right, there were no vehicles, he jumped over the guardrail, and for the sake of safety after landing, he looked left and right again, there were indeed no vehicles, Song Yufei strode towards the pilgrimage view.

As soon as he walked to the middle of the road, there was a sudden explosion, and a sunny thunder struck down, and Song Yufei felt that his body was numb and collapsed to the ground...... The consciousness is still there, but the body does not obey, and the arms and legs keep twitching.

The pedestrians around were stupid, how could there be a thunderstorm on a sunny day, seeing Song Yufei lying on the ground, no one dared to come up to help him.

Fortunately, Song Yufei was still fine, he convulsed on the ground for 2 minutes, and slowly regained his mobility, only to see him slowly propping up his body and sitting up from the ground.

As the saying goes, disaster does not go alone, at this moment, a car flew quickly from the corner, and when the driver saw Song Yufei sitting on the ground, it was too late, only to hear the sound of the tire tearing the ground was not finished, "Tom! With a bang, Song Yufei's body had already flown up, and then landed on the ground 10 meters away, rolling a few times.

Red blood flowed out from the corners of his mouth, nose, and ears, and at this time, the people around him rushed to Song Yufei's side as if they had suddenly realized, and surrounded him in a circle, but no one stepped forward to help him.

Some people have already taken out their mobile phones and started to call the police and emergency numbers, seeing that Song Yufei only has air out and no air intake, in a trance, Song Yufei saw that the sky has turned red, and the figures around him are getting darker and darker, and the red sky is getting redder and redder...... It was noon......

Suddenly, Song Yufei saw a white light in front of him, a circular light, getting brighter and brighter, bigger and bigger, the light was too dazzling, Song Yufei narrowed his eyes, at this time, a figure walked out of the white light, slowly walked to Song Yufei's side, and helped him up, Song Yufei felt that he was very light, and was gently pulled up by the person.

He wanted to see the man's face clearly, but he could only see a black shadow anyway, and then the man grabbed his hand and walked into the white light, he felt as if his body was no longer his own at this time, at least, there was no feeling of walking, but he was indeed walking.

A stronger white light penetrated them, and Song Yufei felt as if this white light had really passed through his body, from his eyes to the back of his head, and then he lost his senses......
