To Wang Yuechuan's surprise, they drove all the way out, and Professor Trevor finally led him to a hilltop in the suburbs.
I only saw a few peasant tile-roofed houses on the road, which can be said to be a chaotic place.
In the end, the two of them got out of the car and climbed up the mountain on foot. As a police officer, Wang Yuechuan's physical fitness was quite good, but Professor Cui Fu couldn't. After a while, he was out of breath and had a big head, which made Wang Yuechuan also
I have to worry about whether this professor can persist.
In addition, Professor Cui Fu kept looking around and frowning from time to time while walking... Wang Yuechuan believed that this old professor had come to this place for the first time, so he was not familiar with it.
"Professor, what are you looking for?" Wang Yuechuan asked calmly.
"Grave." Professor Trevor said without looking back: "To be precise, it should be a place called a mass grave. I have seen some local residents mention this place online when chatting... Hmm
, it should be in this direction, let’s hurry up.”
Wang Yuechuan didn't say much... "The Book of the Dead" was all translated by this professor. Although he had doubts, he didn't have a defensible point of view. It was just whether he could find someone else to translate besides Professor Trevor.
?
Wang Yuechuan believes that besides Professor Cui Fo, there must be someone who can translate, but it is not easy to find... More importantly, it is better to know as little as possible about the "Book of the Dead".
"Here we are!" Professor Trevor suddenly stopped, smiled and said: "King, if you use your Eastern words, it means that the emperor and the heaven are worthy of their wishes!"
"Really?" Wang Yuechuan nodded, "What should we do next? You seemed to have mentioned...a certain ritual before going out?"
This is what Professor Trevor mentioned before going out, saying that through a specific ritual, the practice of magic can be accelerated and the individual's magic power can also be improved, but the conditions are very harsh.
Professor Trevor nodded at this time and looked around. This is part of the mountainside. The terrain is concave inward. The surrounding area is already shaded and the moisture is thick. In the exposed soil, you can still see some bones that were used to bury corpses.
The water chestnuts of 'Golden Pagoda' are used.
"The "Book of the Dead" has already mentioned that the composition of our magic power is mainly physical strength, will, spirit, etc." Professor Trevor put down the backpack on his back at this time and took out the things he prepared.
At the same time, he looked at Wang Yuechuan: "This is why you can master magic and use magic faster than me. Because you are younger than me."
Wang Yuechuan said calmly: "I already knew this. So, what does it have to do with this mass grave?"
Professor Trevor said: "I don't know who actually wrote this "Book of the Dead". Although there are many meanings in translation that are somewhat different from the modern word formation, it can still be roughly inferred. For example, will and spirit,
To modern people, they seem to be the same thing, but "Book of the Dead" distinguishes them. Physical strength is easy to explain, so why are will and spirit separated? This is how I understand it. Will is actually our thoughts.
The so-called spirit should refer to spiritual power, a special energy that can be expressed concretely with numerical values."
Wang Yuechuan frowned and said: "Are you saying that this place may have this kind of special energy... spiritual power?"
Professor Trevor nodded and said: "That's right. It is mentioned in the Book of the Dead that all life has a soul, and the difference is only strong and weak. However, the birth and annihilation of the soul are the same process. If the body as a carrier dies,
, then in most cases the soul will also disappear... However, the soul will always die slower than the body. If some souls have strong enough emotions during their lifetime, they can easily transform into another person in some special place after death.
A special energy body. This energy body should be called a ghost, or the predecessor of a ghost. Through this special ritual, we can absorb the energy of these special energy bodies and transform it into our spirit, and
It’s mental strength.”
"In that case, let's get started." Wang Yuechuan said directly.
I saw that Professor Cui Fu didn't delay at this time. After taking the "Book of the Dead" from Wang Yuechuan's hand, he opened one of the pages, and then followed the pattern on the page and began to bury in this humid mass burial.
On the post, at different locations, crystals bought from the market were placed.
If these different crystals are connected with lines, they seem to form a specific pattern...probably the content in the "Book of the Dead".
"Professor, when did you buy this crystal? Why don't I remember it?" Wang Yuechuan looked at Professor Trevor coldly, who was looking at a black crystal.
This crystal was actually polished to look like a common diamond.
"Oh? This?" Professor Trevor said casually: "When I was walking the day before yesterday, I happened to buy it from an antique store. This black crystal is of good color. It was originally intended to be used as a raw material for magic, but it just happened to be
I happened to find this ritual and used it."
"Yeah." Wang Yuechuan just nodded.
Professor Trevor was busy for a while and finally completed the arrangement. Then he looked at Wang Yuechuan and said hesitantly: "Wang... look, who among you and me will perform this ceremony first? To be honest, I have just finished the translation, so I am not sure.
Is it effective and is it dangerous? Otherwise, I'll do it first."
Wang Yuechuan stared at Professor Trevor. To Professor Trevor, his gaze seemed to possess a special kind of magic power... Of course, this magic power was not that magic power. This was a look that could make people panic.
"No need." Wang Yuechuan suddenly shook his head, "It's okay if I come first. Professor, it's very important for you to be responsible for the translation. If you get injured, it will only slow down the progress of the translation. Besides, I am stronger than you, even if there is an accident.
It’s better to deal with it than you are.”
"This...that's okay." Professor Trevor nodded, then looked at Wang Yuechuan and said seriously: "Wang, thank you."
"You're welcome." Wang Yuechuan said calmly: "This is just a matter of priority... So, what should I do?"
"You go directly inside." Professor Trevor pointed to the ritual circle, "Then I will try to activate these crystals outside. If there are still spirits left in this place, they will be attracted to these crystals. When these
When the spirit body enters the ritual circle, it will be reduced to pure spiritual power. You should be able to feel it, and then start meditating."
According to Professor Cui Fo, Wang Yuechuan sat cross-legged on the ground and closed his eyes at the same time.
Professor Trevor narrowed his eyes at this time... If it were here... this would be a good opportunity.
It's a pity that he doesn't have enough ability. At the same time, although Wang Yuechuan proposed to try it himself, the look he just took still made Professor Trevor afraid...Wang Yuechuan still did not completely trust him.
But... you've been trapped since you peeked at my notes.
Professor Trevor started to initiate this ritual while thinking about it. When the surrounding crystals suddenly lit up with a faint light from inside, the surrounding temperature seemed to drop a bit.
And Wang Yuechuan also felt that something strange began to emerge around him.
"Sure enough, there are still some spirits left! Absorb it quickly!" Professor Trevor said quickly at this time.
Wang Yuechuan had a very basic feeling at this time. Ever since the birth of magic power, he could always feel that there was a special seed in his head. This was the so-called magic seed.
At this time, this magical seed is absorbing the energy of those transformed spiritual bodies... not much, just a trace, but it is slowly nourishing this magical seed.
I don't know how long it took, but this nourishing feeling suddenly stopped. Wang Yuechuan subconsciously opened his eyes, "Why did it stop?"
I saw Professor Trevor outside, his face pale at this time, as if he was exhausted, and he slumped down, "King, I can't hold on any longer. Maintaining this ritual consumes a lot of money."
In fact, increasing magic power should be to increase the upper limit of magic power. Relying on meditation to increase the upper limit is too slow. The absorption in this moment has made Wang Yuechuan's magic seeds grow nearly three times. Naturally, he felt a sense of loss when he suddenly stopped.
But since this ritual is useful, there is no rush. Wang Yuechuan stood up happily: "In that case, then you teach me how to activate it, and then it's up to you to absorb it, Professor."
Soon after, Professor Trevor also began to absorb the energy transformed from the spirit body, and his complexion gradually became better... As for Wang Yuechuan, he was calculating the gains and losses between consumption and absorption. Of course, the gain was much greater than
Consumption.
After all, the consumed magic power can be recovered naturally. Basically, if you get enough rest, it can be almost fully replenished in a day or two, but it is not easy to increase the upper limit.
While calculating these, he was even observing these so-called spirits absorbed by the ritual.
Book of the Dead...So, what will be the world of these spiritual bodies formed after death?
What will be the world after death?
Whether it is the East or the West, there are a lot of descriptions of the world after death.
For example, the underworld in the East, the hell in the West. Or the so-called heaven, heaven, etc.
These descriptions have even undergone a lot of artistic processing, and the world after death has even been fantasized by humans to become a complete and rigorous world. However, no one has ever truly seen the so-called world of the dead.
If these spirits are just aggregation of a certain kind of energy, why do they look like this? Although they are almost transparent, you can still vaguely see their appearance in life.
One of the spirits, although absorbed by the ritual formation, was looking at Wang Yuechuan at the moment. Its expression suddenly became painful, began to distort, and finally revealed a ferocious look.
Wang Yuechuan could even feel a sense of discomfort from the spirit staring at it...it was hatred.
If it is just energy, where does the hatred come from...does it still retain thoughts?
If thoughts are still retained, according to Professor Trevor's explanation, the will that constitutes magic is equivalent to human thoughts... Does that mean that the spirit body also retains will?
What will the world after death be like?
…
…
"ghost?"
"Yes! Teacher!"
In the huge training ground underground of the pet hospital, Mo Xiaofei, who had just completed a training session, was taking a rest. While drinking Long Xiruo's special drink to replenish his energy, he asked: "What are the students in our class these two days?"
The girls started talking about the pen fairy and so on, so I asked out of curiosity, is there really a ghost?"
Long Xiruo picked his ears and asked casually: "Why are we discussing something like the pen fairy?"
"Because there was a movie released recently, which is a horror movie about Pen Xian." Mo Xiaofei said without thinking, "So we discussed it, it's a hot topic!"
Long Xiruo yawned, "There is still such a thing as a pen fairy, but it is actually a little different from the pen fairy you know."
"What's different?" Mo Xiaofei suddenly looked like a curious baby.
"First of all, something like Bixian is not capable of answering all your questions."
Long Xiruo picked out her other ear and said, "The first pen masters were actually scholars. Well... It should be said that they were the ancient scholars who studied hard in order to gain fame, right? To put it simply, they studied to death.
Guys. They died in front of books, but their obsession persisted and they would be attached to books. Later, such books were obtained by other readers, because they were also passionate about knowledge, and it was easy for them to resonate with each other. This
At that time, the so-called pen fairy will appear, and the scholars will ask the pen fairy what they don’t understand in the book, and get the answer... I don’t know how this thing spread. It was originally a process of dead scholars teaching living scholars knowledge. Over time,
It’s like the pen fairy knows everything, it’s so funny!”
"That's a roar!" Mo Xiaofei immediately flashed a flash of light at Long Xiruo, "Doesn't this mean that I got a personal tutor for free?"
Long Xiruo waved his hand and said: "How can a pen fairy appear so easily? Only true scholars, with an innocent heart, can become a pen fairy, attached to books, and lasting.
Generally speaking, it is estimated that death is death. Anyway, the underworld is not open now, and the three souls and seven souls will be destroyed by the yang energy of the human world within a short time."
"Oh!" Mo Xiaofei nodded, then suddenly froze, "Teacher, what did you just say... The underworld doesn't open? Is there really such a thing as the underworld? After death, is there really something else?
world?"
Long Xiruo continued to yawn, propped up his head and said, "Why, don't you believe in this kind of thing?"
Mo Xiaofei shook his head and said: "No, it just feels a bit illogical... Doesn't it mean that the underworld is a place where people are reincarnated? In this case, it sounds okay for people to be reincarnated after death. But the population has always been
It's all increasing. Even if the people who died earlier are really reincarnated, they can't account for so much of the new population, right? So where do the souls of those new people come from? It's impossible for one soul to be reincarnated.
, play it with ten, twenty or even more trumpets, right?"
Long Xiruo smiled and suddenly said: "If you put it in this way...it is originally a multi-account login."
"What?" Mo Xiaofei opened his mouth.
Long Xiruo rolled his eyes and said: "Otherwise, why do you think it is called three souls and seven souls? One soul or one soul can be reincarnated. A complete soul can be split into ten numbers, no?
Problem! As for the reincarnated soul, it will gradually grow up to become a complete three souls and seven souls through the nourishment of the body. Repeating this is a complete reincarnation, so no matter how large the population is, there will not be enough souls. Sometimes even
Because of this, the population of the underworld will explode, and it will be too busy! Many years ago, a fool said that he would not become a Buddha until hell is empty, but because of this, he was directly deceived. "
I go……
"Teacher, could the fool you are talking about be the legendary Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva?"
"What do you think?" Long Xiruo asked without answering.
Mo Xiaofei knew that he had asked a very stupid question, and he laughed twice, "But why can't the underworld open now? If it doesn't open, wouldn't it mean that no one would be reincarnated?"
Long Xiruo shook his head: "I don't know about this either... It's just that the passage from the underworld to the human world was closed by someone or for some reason. I probably haven't had it for about a hundred years.
I’ve seen the army coming up from the underworld to arrest souls.”
"Close..." Mo Xiaofei was a little confused when he heard it, and subconsciously asked: "Then if it is not opened, where will the souls of the newly born people come from?"
Long Xiruo said bluntly: "That's why there are so many 'fake people' in the world! Otherwise, how do you think you can still live till now? How can that boss be so kind? Because you are just a 'real soul'!"
