"Eat more. The more boys eat, the better. My sister-in-law is treating me today, so you can eat with open belly." Zhao Jingyi looked at me with a smile as I ate bowl after bowl of jelly, and cheered me up. Eat, not caring at all that there are many empty bowls piled on the table.

It's the hot summer day. The fragrant, numb and spicy jelly is still light and refreshing. It's so delicious that you can't stop eating it. My sister-in-law doesn't even need to greet me. I can't bear to stop myself. I eat three mouthfuls of a bowl. His head was covered in sweat.

The person who is as vicious as me is my master. I have eaten five bowls of jelly now, and he is even more powerful, eating a full six bowls.

My sister-in-law didn't care, but Brother Sheng did. He ordered ten pot helmets and said to my master and me: "Master Jiang, Sanwa, this jelly tastes better when eaten in pot helmets. Do you want to try it?"

"Really?" I glanced at Brother Sheng, but without stopping, I poured the jelly into the pot.

Guokui is a white flour pancake, but the outer layer is fried to a charred aroma, but the inner layer retains the aroma of flour. It is very delicious. After I poured down the jelly, I took a big bite of Guokui. The taste was so good that I even lost my eyes. They all squinted, the jelly sauce seeped into the pot helmet, and then there was smooth jelly inside. Even the gods couldn't stand the smell.

I finished one Guokui in two mouthfuls, and so did my master. He was picking up the second Guokui. Both of us, the master and apprentice, had their mouths full of oil and our hands were full of oil. We just couldn't bear to wipe it because we were busy eating and didn't want to wipe it.

Seeing that I was enjoying the meal, my sister-in-law turned to Brother Sheng happily and said, "Yang Sheng, I don't remember you being so considerate before? Did you change your gender today? I'm afraid your little brother won't be able to eat the famous Guokui jelly." ?”

Brother Sheng chuckled, adjusted his glasses and said, "I didn't expect so much. I just thought they were so good at eating. We are not rich, so we might as well call a few Guokui and let them eat quickly. If you’re full, what should you do if you can’t pay?”

"Haha, you are so stingy, hahahaha..." The sister-in-law laughed heartily again and poked Yang Sheng's forehead.

I coughed for a while, and the pot helmet in my mouth almost spit out. I haven't seen you for a few years. Brother Sheng is already so thoughtful, isn't he

As for the master, he ate without changing his expression and said while eating, "Sichuanbei jelly is very famous and delicious! I was in a hurry last time and didn't even eat it."

Finally, a group of four people left the famous jelly shop with great satisfaction and found a teahouse to sit down. As soon as they sat down, my master said: "Yang Sheng, you are a good boy. How long have you been here? Do you know Sichuanbei jelly?"

Yang Sheng said seriously: "Jingyi and I have been here for a week, and we just found that the jelly here is particularly delicious."

"A week? Brother Sheng, have you been here for so long? What have you been doing?" I was a little surprised.

"Compile the information and make preparations. We are accompanying you this time because the old village chief's case is too special and we must investigate this matter thoroughly. It has a very positive meaning." Brother Sheng said seriously.

"Positive meaning?" I don't understand.

"Yes, for biology, his existence is of far greater significance than zombies. Do you know why? According to your Taoists, zombies only have two souls that direct all actions. In biology, they maintain physical actions. Ability, but no ability to think. But the old village chief, I once read a report from the special operations department. Some Taoists said that the old village chief has indeed become a zombie, but he actually retains three souls and seven souls. This means That's serious." There was a hint of fanaticism in Brother Sheng's eyes.

"What's so important? It's just a special case in a special place. It's a pseudo-scientific result. Yang Sheng, I have always insisted on my point of view. You can't use this to break through the shackles of human beings. Immortality is impossible. It's not so much immortality. The price is to become such a monster, I would rather live happily for decades." Faced with Brother Sheng's excitement, Sister-in-law Jingyi seemed much calmer, and she poured cold water on Brother Sheng.

Facing Brother Sheng like this, I suddenly felt a little strange. His scientific ideas were too crazy. He actually wanted to pursue human immortality

Brother Sheng wanted to say something more, but Master had already interrupted him: "Yang Sheng, your idea and starting point may be good, but I think what Jingyi said is more right. It is a special product of a special place. If you want Are you willing to die with so much resentment and then turn into such a monster? Don't think that he is still the same person he was before his death. Just like a resentful ghost, he still retains all the memories of his life, but what he has done has completely changed. Driven by resentment. Your ideas don’t work.”

The master's words were obviously authoritative. Brother Sheng fell into deep thought, but he thought for a while, raised his head and said firmly: "In my opinion, everything can be explained by science, but science has not found the right way. Resentment It is something that cannot be captured by science. Before its existence is proven, I will simply study the old village chief. I don’t care what you think, as long as it is beneficial to the future development of mankind, I will persist in exploring it. "

The master was silent. He knew that he could not reverse Yang Sheng's "dead-headedness". He also understood in his heart that the reason why Yang Sheng was sent here for this operation was that the country valued it and might have included it in a secret scientific project. It's as simple as building roads.

Zhao Jingyi glared at Yang Sheng. She must have a deep understanding of her lover's character. She sighed and said: "Instead of studying the method of making people turn into monsters, what I want to explore more about this matter is Human nature. Mr. Jiang, in my opinion, things in xx village are almost a dead end. The villagers made mistakes in order to survive, but they are understandable. The old village chief is full of resentment, so he came to take revenge... ugh... .”

"It's not a dead end, it's just that they have lost their original intention." The master also sighed and said lightly.

"True heart? Are you doing things according to your heart?" Zhao Jingyi asked with great interest.

"It's not the heart. A heart that has been integrated into the world of mortals is not called the original heart. What is the heart? As a person grows up, it is mixed with many personal feelings, many interest disputes, and many grudges and calculations. And what about the original heart? It is the pure heart when a person is born. Do you understand? When you were ignorant, was the world black and white? Do you naturally yearn for the light? Are you kind to everyone? Who treats you well? , who are you nice to? Do you want to be a hero? When you were very young, were you afraid of death? If you were asked to sacrifice to be a hero, would you be willing? At least, when you were a child, did you want to be a hero? Good people, instinctively hate bad people?" My heart is very complicated, so Master tried his best to explain it in simple language.

Zhao Jingyi thought for a long time before saying: "I understand, they have lost their original intention. If they acted according to that pure original intention, they would have saved the old village chief, and the tragedy would not have happened. Is that true? ?”

"Probably, regret and guilt afterwards can only show that these people have not completely lost their original intention, but in front of their hearts, their original intention is already very weak." Master said.

"What about the old village chief? Why did he kill the whole village? According to you, his mind is clear." Zhao Jingyi asked.

"Isn't this simple? No matter how he knows it, he is no longer a human being. He is alive, but from another perspective, he is dead. Do you understand? What lives in his body is not called a soul, but a ghost. ! The basis for his survival is resentment, just like a fierce ghost! He will definitely do things based on his resentment." Master explained.

These words made my sister-in-law fall into deep thought. My sister-in-law is a scientist, but it does not mean that scientists will reject metaphysics. On the contrary, the more people in their class are exposed to it, the less they will reject it, and they will only choose to explore.

Just like Einstein, Newton began to study theology in his later years and was even very religious.

After talking for so long, Brother Sheng asked: "Master Jiang, when will we set off? Are all the entourage already here?"

"Not yet, I'm still waiting for two people. As soon as they arrive, let's set off." Master said.
