Now that things are pretty much settled, I drove in the direction of the city's largest Taoist temple.

The reason why I came here is because the last time I passed by here, I found that there is a restaurant called "Xiao Zhao Huang Braised Chicken" at the entrance of this temple, and there are two oversized iron pots at the door for many years, one steamed rice and one stewed chicken, and the big pot can steam more than 200 catties of rice.

Taoist incense is very strong, people who come to incense will eat in this "Xiao Zhao Huang Braised Chicken", I also came to eat once last time, the taste is very good.

But there is another reason why I want to come here, that is, the owner of this hotel, Xiao Zhao, this young man looks like Zhao Donglai, and he is simply carved out of the same mold.

It's just that this Xiao Zhao is pale, as if he has had a serious illness, and he has been wearing a pure black shirt and black pants for many years, and his expression is extremely melancholy.

After Zhao Dongzi had something to eat, his face became more and more ruddy day by day, and his whole person's spirit was completely different, and he was full of joy and enthusiasm every day.

If you put the two of them together, it's like a pair of twins, and one sucks the spirit of the other.

"Boss, how much does this pot of rice cost?"

I stood in front of the big rice pot and asked, the boss Xiao Zhao was facing away from me and seemed to be busy with something, listening to my question, he turned around and stared at me, his expression was stunned, and he was silent for a long time.

Flowers on my face?

"How much is a whole pot of rice?"

"You want rice, there's another pot for you, and a pot of stewed chicken. Enough for two hundred people. ”

Boss Xiao Zhao said lightly?

What? How did he know that I wanted a pot of rice and a pot of vegetables, and how did he know that I was going to feed two hundred people?

This time, my expression was stunned, and I was silent for a long time.

"How do you know I'm going to feed two hundred?" I finally couldn't help but ask.

"I dreamed that there was going to be a war, you were digging tunnels, there was another me, he starved to death once, you saved him, but after the war, he was still blown up, you can't save the person who should have died, useless ......"

"Oh, this kid, what's this?"

Suddenly, a woman in her fifties rushed out of the restaurant, this woman was short and fat, also wearing black, black pants, black short sleeves, with wool rolls on her head, ruddy complexion, just a little fat with a double chin, and pulled the boss Xiao Zhao and walked to the house.

This thing is so strange, I can't care about being polite, I followed closely into the store, and saw that this woman pulled the boss Xiao Zhao into a room in the back, I followed to see, and saw that Xiao Zhao was lying on a bed inside and didn't move.

The woman put her hand in front of the boss Xiao Zhao's nose, then sighed, turned around and saw me, screamed in fright, and then asked loudly:

"How did you get in? Who let you in? ”

"I saw him talking strangely, so I ......"

"Strange, what's so strange...... You're here to buy a whole pot of rice and a whole pot of braised chicken? The woman suddenly seemed to remember something.

"Yes, can you tell me how Boss Xiao Zhao knew that I was coming to buy food?"

"Yes, pay for the meal first." The woman rolled her eyes.

"How much?"

"Five thousand."

"What?!"

"Don't buy it!"

As she spoke, the woman was about to go into the house.

"I'll give!"

I said and scanned 5,000 on the QR code posted on the window, and when the payment prompt rang, the woman frowned and cried.

Why is that?

"Say, who are you, why do you just harm my family?"

"What are you talking about, Boss Zhao's name is Zhao Donglai?"

"What else is it called?!" The woman cried again, and her face straightened.

This woman is really troublesome, and finally after my questioning, this woman spoke.

It turned out that this woman was Ms. Yang, the mother of Xiao Zhao's boss, she was unmarried and pregnant, and she raised Xiao Zhao by herself after giving birth to him.

Xiao Zhao has not been like other children since he was a child, he knows a lot of things, and always says that he is not from this world, and there is another self in another world, and he is not living well and starving all day long.

I kept saying it, I kept saying it, almost from novel to adulthood, I usually dreamed of it when I was dreaming, and I was alone for a while, and then I would talk about how I was in another world.

Until the beginning of last month, he said that he starved to death in another world, and after finishing speaking, he fell asleep, and after sleeping for a while, he said that his life was better, and he met some immortal Peng Yuyan, and he would not worry about eating and drinking in the future.

Then this morning, after Xiao Zhao got up, he was busy steaming rice and making yellow stewed chicken.

Originally, it was enough to steam only one big pot of rice every day, but today Xiao Zhao took out another new pot that he bought and kept there that he had never used, steamed two pots of rice, and stewed two pots of chicken.

Ms. Yang asked her son what he was doing so much today.

Xiao Zhao said that a great wizard came today, and he wanted to buy a pot of rice and a pot of vegetables, and he could eat it himself. He also said that I would pay her 5,000 yuan for these two pots of food.

So just now, after I swept 5,000 yuan, this woman felt that her son had said everything accurately, and her son was really abnormal, so she finally couldn't hold back and started crying.

"Say, what kind of sorcerer are you? What evil spell did you use on my son, you pestered him as soon as he was born, you big broom star. ”

After Ms. Yang finished speaking, she pointed at me and scolded, attracting all kinds of onlookers from people passing by who wanted to buy food.

This kind of woman, if she recognizes an unreasonable point, ten cows can't pull back her crooked worldview, and Xiao Zhao and I don't know each other at all, okay? I'm a big man, I want to pester and pester, why am I pestering him?

I didn't bother to pay attention to him, so I walked into the back kitchen of the store to see my two-pot meal.

At this time, someone came to buy a set meal to take away, so Ms. Yang had to stop attacking me and go to eat.

I went to the back and saw those two horrible cauldrons, which would have been wasted for a long time if they were taken away, and besides, the appearance of this woman would not necessarily help me find other containers, and she might have been scolding and pestering me.

It's better to take these two pots away directly, and then send the empty pots back after eating, thinking like this, I put my hands on a large pot, and directly used the black Taiji mirror to get these to my room in the backyard of the floating grain store in Shanhe Village.

Outside, the tenants were still in full swing, and I opened the door and came out, startling several people in the courtyard, and they all retreated to the corner and did not dare to speak.

"What are you all afraid of me for?"

"Boss, shopkeeper, didn't you go out in the morning? Why did you come out of the house? A young man stammered.

"I ...... Take the one who came in without you seeing. ”

"No, I've been standing outside the vegetable cellar and pulling up the soil, and I don't see ......."

At this time, a person next to him gave him an elbow and he shut up.

"It's almost time for dinner, stop, go home and get the dishes and chopsticks to eat."

At this time, Zhao Donglai also came out of the vegetable cellar:

"Shopkeeper."

"Well, Zhao Donglai, ask someone to go to my room to carry food."

When everyone heard this, they all hurriedly ran home to get the dishes and chopsticks, Zhao Donglai entered the room, and looked at the two cauldrons for a long time.

I also looked at this Zhao Donglai, and I didn't understand what was going on for a while.

I even secretly urged the black Taiji Mirror, wanting to see what was hidden in this Zhao Donglai's body, how could there be a connection with another Zhao Donglai nearly a hundred years later?

And it can be seen that this Zhao Donglai did not sense another Zhao Donglai.

"Zhao Donglai, do you often dream?" I asked.

Zhao Donglai looked at the cauldron, reacted from his trance, and said:

"Do it, sometimes I dream of a person who looks like me, in a place I haven't been to, eating big fish and meat all day long, and sometimes I dream that he eats it, as if I ate it too, hehe."

Suddenly, I thought of the possibility, the same soul and different body.

However, this soul must be two people together at all times, as long as the two people can't see each other, the soul will disappear from the body at the same time, and then the two die together.

But these two Zhao Donglai are not only not together in terms of distance, but they are even nearly a hundred years apart in time, living in different time and space, but they are both living very well, aren't they the same soul and different bodies?

After a while, people came back one after another, some of them were mowing grass and weaving mats in other places, and those who were making blanks also came back, and it was already noon, and everyone had arrived.

I asked Zhao Dong to open the two cauldrons, and when he saw one of the pots of yellow stewed chicken, he was stunned for a long time, and he didn't continue until someone urged him to do so.

When the weather became warmer, everyone carried the two pots into the courtyard, and when the tenants saw that a pot was full of a large pot of stew, the two hundred or so people shouted in amazement, and then laughed, and sat or stood around the pot to eat.

But most people don't eat vegetables, and only eat bowls of rice in soup, probably thinking that one bowl of food per person is not allowed to be added, and they want to take the dishes home.

It wasn't until I reminded everyone to eat as much as they wanted, and let Zhao Dong take the leftovers back to everyone, that they all started to eat, but everyone was also extremely restrained.

I thought about these two Zhao Donglai, and I didn't have time to watch them eat again, so I turned around and went into the house and found the notes of "The Strange Story of Mountains and Rivers", and then began to study them, I remember that there was an example of the same soul and different bodies recorded in this note, but it was regarded as a terrible incident at the time.

On August 17, 1929, an army advanced to the Harbin Special Economic Zone through Xiaoliushu Village, Yangjia Village, Zhangjia Village, Nigou Village, Xiaojia Village, and Shanhe Village.

When the chief shouted "Li Dacheng", three people shouted "to" at the same time. It was dark at that time, and the chief stood in front and did not see the faces of the three people clearly, but he felt that the person with the same name was on the same team, and it would be difficult to count them in the future, so he asked two of the "Li Dacheng" to go to the other two teams one mile away, but the two refused.

The commander was furious, drew his gun, and said that he would be shot directly if he disobeyed the order. One of them, "Li Dacheng", got up crying and walked to the location of another team in the distance.

But the other "Li Dacheng" refused to leave no matter what.

The commander was furious, pointed a gun at this "Li Dacheng", and ordered him to go, "Li Dacheng" burst into tears and said: I must stay here, otherwise something will happen.

The commander was even more angry, fired a shot into the sky, and then pointed a gun at this "Li Dacheng", wanting to pull the trigger.

This "Li Dacheng" couldn't, and also cried and got up to leave.

After the roll call was completed, the commander gave another word of encouragement to the soldiers, and then ordered the soldiers to rest and get up early tomorrow to hurry.

At this time, someone shouted: Someone is dead.

The crowd immediately gathered, and the commander stepped forward to check, only to see a young soldier sitting cross-legged on the ground, bowing his head and closing his eyes, and the man was dead.

The chief asked what the person's name was, and some said that it was "Li Dacheng".

The commander raised the face of "Li Dacheng" and felt very familiar, and at this time someone among the soldiers said that this dead "Li Dacheng" and the two "Li Dacheng" who had just left looked exactly the same.

So the chief sent people to the other two teams not far away to find the two "Li Dacheng" and come back for questioning, but the two of them went back and back, and they both said that they did not see anyone named "Li Dacheng" on either side.

This incident spread in this army for a while, and the more it spread, the more bizarre it became, and some people even said that the two "Li Dacheng" were eccentric and disillusioned, and they left after sucking up the essence of the real "Li Dacheng".

In fact, this matter is the same soul and different body.

Homogeneous is an ancient witchcraft used across space, first of all, the same person in different dimensions is gathered together through the time and space channel by some chance or coincidence, but one of them dies accidentally, then the bodies of the two people will share the same soul.

At most, three bodies will appear, and one soul will be used at the same time.

So why is it said that it is an ancient witchcraft?

Because the passage to open this kind of space requires extremely powerful witchcraft energy to support, ordinary people who pass through the passage will be transformed by this energy when they pass through the passage.

So is Zhao Donglai the same soul and different body? If so, how can two people sense each other across time and space?

I sat at my desk and pondered, but I couldn't think of a reason. At this time, it seemed to be a lot quieter outside, and when I looked up, it was completely dark outside.

I hurriedly walked out, and saw that none of the people digging the vegetable cellar were gone, the tools were neatly arranged by the wall, and the two large cauldrons were cleaned and placed in the yard.

Where have all the people gone, haven't they had dinner yet?
