Chapter 59: The Eternal World, the Ghosts, the Eternal Darkness
Zheng Xiu gulped down the dates and finished the noodles.
It's strange that I feel full.
At first he was wondering if he could chew it.
It seems that this incarnation is almost the same as a human being.
Now Mr. Zheng is relieved.
When they walked out of the noodle shop, the shrew and the turtle husband had packed up their things and went home.
Zheng Xiu looked at the back of the middle-aged couple and was speechless.
"The 'meaning' in his soul was taken away."
Feng Bei seemed to have guessed Zheng Xiu's confusion and took the initiative to explain.
"What do you mean?" Zheng Xiu asked, this was the first time he had heard of this setting.
Feng Bei carefully explained to Master Zheng: "According to ancient books, the human soul is divided into four parts: intention, shape, luck, and direction. Among them, meaning refers to consciousness. The 'intention' in other people's souls is taken away, and the figure has its shape, which is related to It’s no different than the walking dead.”
This statement is quite new compared to the "three souls and seven spirits" in Zheng Xiu's previous novels.
It seems that Fengbei hasn't had a heart-to-heart talk with anyone for a long time.
The appearance of the son of an old friend was almost the same as that of his benefactor, which made Feng Bei regard Master Zheng as one of his own from the bottom of his heart.
After searching for so many years, she finally found it.
Feng Bei hesitated for a moment, hid his hand, and said slowly: "I don't know if Senior has mentioned Feng Bei's past to you. But when I used magic, it was more like destroying the 'shape' of the human soul."
Of course Zheng Xiu was well aware of Feng Bei's past. He pretended to be stupid and asked: "Sister Feng Bei, do you want to say that the human body is determined by the 'shape' of the human soul? For example, the 'shape' of a human soul changes If you become a dog, then a human will also become a dog?”
Feng Bei was silent and nodded lightly. Apparently she really thought so.
Although what Feng Bei said seemed to open up Zheng Xiu's situation and gave him a new understanding of "human soul".
Even though Feng Bei's "four-quarter human soul theory" was inconsistent with his previous "knowledge", he didn't know how to refute it for a while.
Feng Bei's ability to cut living creatures into "pieces" by touching them seems to be ironclad proof.
The theory of four-quarter human soul is not difficult to understand.
It means consciousness, shape refers to form, luck refers to luck, what about "direction"?
He remembered that every time his incarnation reached the time limit, he would feel the force of his true body.
As the two walked towards the inn, Zheng Xiu asked like a curious baby on the way: "Is this statement of yours based on speculation or based on other reasons? And shape and luck, as the names suggest, are easy to understand, but what about 'direction'? Orientation? What does it mean?"
Feng Bei turned around. She seemed to have remembered something and said calmly: "No need for proof. It's hard to explain in a few words. If there is a chance in the future, I will talk to you in detail." After a pause, Feng Bei said again: "I have witnessed it with my own eyes. .”
Witness?
Zheng Xiu was slightly stunned. Was she referring to the incident in Baili Village or other cases in the past twenty years? Seeing that Feng Bei was already walking on the road towards the inn, Zheng Xiu could only follow and obediently agreed: "Okay."
Back at the inn, the tall Yue Yan and Dou Xie with bruises on her face were already waiting there.
"Master Shang Xian San, something is wrong here."
Yue Yan knocked on the black box with her hands behind her back and frowned: "The cat's reaction is a bit weird, as if... it has entered 'that place'. But the raven is not unusual at all."
Dou Xie quickly raised his hand, as if he knew, I could, and said, "What Sister Yueyan wants to say is 'boundary', right?"
Hearing this, Yue Yan glared at Dou Xie and pursed her lips towards Master Zheng. The purport clearly meant: Didn't you see any outsiders?
"It doesn't matter." Feng Bei obviously didn't regard Zheng Xiu, who was wearing the skin of a [villain], as an outsider: "I think so too. The atmosphere in the town is weird, probably due to the influence of the 'border'. But the source may still be there. In that mountain, otherwise, more abnormalities would have appeared here."
Yueyan held her pointed chin and fell into deep thought: "I wonder if you have noticed that this town enshrines a strange statue named 'Danglangxian'. And the place we are going to is called Xiangu Temple. Originally this place It’s nothing, it’s just that the statue of ‘Danglangxian’ looks like…”
At this time Zheng Xiu interjected: "It looks like a praying mantis, right?"
Yue Yan nodded and rubbed the center of her eyebrows: "This is strange."
"What are you afraid of!" Dou Xie, who was bruised and swollen, was full of confidence: "I have already copied the 'Haoran Righteous Song' written by General Zheng Haoran before he went on the expedition! The heaven and earth are righteous and the universe is bright. No evil spirit can withstand General Zheng's killing. Qi!"
Zheng Xiu secretly thought that even if it is really awesome, it was written by my father, so what are you proud of?
As soon as Dou Xie finished speaking, he secretly thought something was wrong and glared at Zheng Xiu and added: "General Zheng is General Zheng, you are you, don't be complacent!"
Zheng Xiu ignored him, looking for an opportunity to beat him again. At this time, he raised his hand: "Excuse me, what do you mean by 'that place' and 'border' just now?"
Zheng Xiu's tone was a bit dissatisfied when he spoke.
If you want to say something, just say it clearly. Why are you trying to be a riddler by being so secretive?
Swish.
Yue Yan and Dou Xie moved their gazes to Feng Bei at the same time.
Feng Bei smiled, but still did not regard Master Zheng as an outsider, and explained: "Just like the sun and moon in the sky, day and night, everything is divided into two sides. The present world we live in is called 'Eternal World' in ancient books, and it is different from the Eternal World. The opposite is 'Eternal Darkness'. Eternal darkness and the eternal world do not interfere with each other. It is dangerous and treacherous inside, and there are all kinds of evil spirits and filth."
Eternal life and eternal darkness?
Feng Bei continued: "Generally speaking, Chang An and Chang Shi are not connected. But under special circumstances, the barrier between Chang Shi and Chang An will become weak. The junction between the two is called the 'boundary' by Ye Weiyang '.In the 'boundary', the eternal life will be affected by the filth in the 'eternal darkness', and some mysterious changes will occur. Just like..."
When Feng Bei was about to say something, she seemed to remember something she didn't want to mention and dropped the topic.
"If it is really a 'border', we must not take the young master of the Zheng family there. Once a 'border' appears, it means that something big has happened inside. Not to mention ordinary people, even thaumaturgers will be on the border if they are not careful. Lost his life."
Yueyan pointed at Zheng Xiu, and the new discovery made her determined not to take Zheng Xiu into the mountain.
His heart was good, but of course Zheng Xiu was not happy.
"Sister Fengbei, come here."
Zheng Xiu hooked his hands again, Feng Bei looked slightly startled, but still stood up silently and followed the son of an old friend to the corner to whisper.
Yueyan closed her eyes, smiled coldly, and raised her ears to listen.
Hey! Do you think I won’t be able to hear you, Yueyan, if you whisper in that place?
young and naive.
You only know that a thaumaturgy can perform thaumaturgy, but you don't know that the thaumaturgy who opened the seventh door has five senses that are far more sensitive than ordinary people.
"My father once told me the story of Baili Village twenty years ago. What you call the 'border', my father called that place the 'ghost'. He also taught me a lot about how to live in the ghost. The way to protect yourself is that I have been a psychic since I was a child and can see many evil things that ordinary people cannot see."
Zheng Xiu decided to show some of his cards.
Feng Bei looked at Zheng Xiu in surprise, but soon she looked as usual and nodded: "It turns out that the seniors called that place 'Ghost'."
"At least, I can see more clearly than that broken bird."
Zheng Xiu pointed to the raven on their shoulders.
Feng Bei was silent, as if hesitating.
Zheng Xiu has not yet received the reminder to arrive at [Guixiao·Xiangu Temple]. If he wants to go somewhere, he can only go with [Inn Fengbei]. No matter what, he has to follow Fengbei to Guixiao.
Humph, as long as he arrives at Guixiao, it is not Fengbei who has the final say whether he is allowed in or not.
Zheng Xiu added: "The one who was injured is my cousin! Blood is thicker than water! We are as close as brothers! How can I let you take risks and sit back and enjoy the results alone? Sister Fengbei, you don't have to persuade me, I'm bleeding
It is the blood of the Zheng family. The head can be cut off and the blood can be shed, but the character of the Zheng family can never be lost!"
"Father! Zheng Shan! Zheng Haoran's Zheng! The goodness of the great good man! I, Zheng E, hate evil as much as I hate it, and I am addicted to gambling... Ahem, I am sworn in with evil! I, Zheng E, must go to this mountain! I will live and die without regrets.
!”
Zheng Xiu's words touched Feng Bei's heart, and the young man's resolute face vaguely reminded her of Zheng Shan from twenty years ago.
"OK."
Feng Bei agreed softly.
She didn't know why but couldn't refuse.
Yue Yan was about to say that Feng Bei was crazy and why she doted on this Zheng family kid so much, but she saw Feng Bei's eyes flashing coldly and she made a gesture of tightening her gloves.
She didn't dare to say anything for a moment and curled her lips.
Just dote on me.
Wait a moment.
Yue Yan, who had just reacted at this moment, suddenly widened her charming eyes.
