Striving for Science

Chapter 34: Science and Superstition

Views:

Wu Wei's colleagues stared blankly at Shen Changan's ten fingers flying over the keyboard, and watched him confidently tell them that there were no ghosts in the company, the production line often failed, and the computer suddenly turned on and off automatically, that was because the system There are incorrect instructions, or there are loopholes.

"It's not long since our branch opened, how could someone maliciously attack our work system?" the accountant, who had been scared to tears by the horror video that popped up suddenly on his computer, wondered, "What's the benefit of spending so much energy?"

"The head office only sent technicians to repair and maintain the system and production line a week ago, and nothing was found to be wrong." The general manager said, "If it weren't for this, the company wouldn't have so many rumors about ghosts."

Shen Changan poked Ding Yang's arm: "Take out the work record book."

"Ah?" Ding Yang was admiring the confused look on the faces of these company employees. Hearing Shen Changan say this, he couldn't react for a while.

"With a clear and complete record of the work process, we can give an explanation to the rumors that are spreading outside." Shen Changan's eyes swept over the crowd, and found that the young man who was working at the desk just now was also standing behind the crowd, looking at him with eyes full of expression. be grateful.

Young people are more motivated, Shen Changan stretched out his hand and dragged Wu Wei over, "They are all young people, look at their enthusiasm for work."

Wu Wei looked at Shen Changan suspiciously. He was already the youngest staff member in the office area of the company, and no one was younger than him.

"Okay." Seeing Wu Wei's dazed expression, Shen Changan didn't want to argue with him any more, "For your sake, I won't ask you to pay for this loophole inspection, I'll ask your general manager later. Just sign my work record."

"Wait." Wu Wei finally reacted, pulling Shen Changan to the balcony outside, "Changan, why do you come to work in such a small place?"

"It's very nice here, with beautiful scenery and simple people." Shen Changan leaned on the balcony and smiled, "What's more, you don't work here?"

"Can I compare with you?" Before Shen Changan left suddenly, Wu Wei always thought that Changan would stay in the school for graduate studies. At that time, several old professors with graduate students in the school liked Shen Changan very much, and said that they would accept Shen Changan. for students. When Shen Changan just left, many classmates said that Shen Changan went to work in a secret department, but he did not expect to be in such a small city to do such an inconspicuous job.

Shen Changan turned around and looked at the green plants outside the office building without speaking.

"Chang'an, with your ability, you shouldn't stay in such a small place." In school, Chang'an was very serious in class, never skipped class, and participated in the research of several topics. In the eyes of everyone, he was well-deserved outstanding model students.

"Is it that bastard Cao Jin?" Wu Wei thought more and more, "His family is powerful and powerful, but he has always disliked you, so he must have rectified you."

"Don't think too much, although Cao Jin wants to trick me, but..." Shen Changan looked up at the somewhat gloomy sky, "Come here to work, it's my own choice, and it has nothing to do with others."

"You don't need to explain, I know you must have suffered a lot of grievances." Wu Wei was angry and sympathetic, slapped hard on the balcony guardrail, "It's amazing to have power at home!"

"That... it's still a bit remarkable." Shen Changan answered honestly.

Wu Wei: "..."

You don't have to be so honest when you say harsh words.

Cao Jin's family conditions are good, and the family conditions are also good, and he can be regarded as a man of the school, but there is another Shen Changan who oppresses him everywhere in addition to his family background, so even though the two are in the same major and the same class, Even the girl Cao Jin likes confessed to Chang'an. Although Chang'an politely rejected the girl, Cao Jin regarded Chang'an as an enemy.

All the classmates in the class know that Chang'an's parents are dead, so they often do some programming outside the school. Cao Jin often laughs at Shen Chang'an's poverty. One time, he went too far, calling Chang'an's parents short-lived ghosts, and was pressed by Chang'an in the public. In the big classroom, I was beaten to the point of crying father and mother.

There was a lot of trouble that time. Cao Jin's parents came to the school to put pressure on him. Fortunately, the school had a fair attitude and withstood the pressure of the Cao family, so Shen Changbao was taken down, but the level of the scholarship was lowered by one level.

After this incident, Cao Jin took a detour when he saw Shen Changan, and only dared to curse behind his back. Therefore, he suspects that the reason why Shen Changan's job after graduation is so poor is that the Cao family has moved his hands and feet.

"What are your plans in the future, stay in this small city, or go to the big city to give it a try?" Seeing that Shen Changan didn't want to mention the old things in the school, Wu Wei had to stop the topic, "With your ability, go Nowhere to worry about finding a way out.”

Shen Changan shook his head: "Don't talk about me, let's talk about yourself. When you were in school, although you weren't a top student, your learning ability was still good. How could you be transferred here?"

This kind of transfer is not much different from the nature of the assignment of frontiers.

"I don't know, since you left, or since that kid transferred your paper to mine, my luck has gotten worse and worse." Wu Wei's face was full of vicissitudes, talking about these pasts full of blood and tears "In the beginning, I was accepted by a Fortune 500 company. When I was about to sign a contract, I had an acute appendicitis attack and had to go to the hospital for an operation. This good opportunity also slipped away. Later, I received offers from several big companies. In the interview invitation, there are always various accidents at the end. I was finally admitted to this biological company a few months ago, and I was inexplicably targeted by the leaders. It happened that a branch was set up here, so I was assigned to this side. "

"Sometimes I even wonder if I was retributed for the transfer of the papers at the beginning." Wu Wei smiled bitterly, "It's not too peaceful to come here, there will be a problem with the production line, and there will be ghosts at the head office this morning. He also called and scolded me, saying that my work was not in place."

After listening to Wu Wei's bitter experience, Shen Changan felt a little sympathetic to him, and reached out to pat him on the shoulder: "Isn't it extremely peaceful? It's been so long since I've been unlucky, and I won't be unlucky again in the future."

"According to your auspicious words." Wu Wei's smile still carried a bit of bitterness, and he did not take Shen Changan's comforting words to heart, he took a deep breath, "Actually, you are right, although there is no big city here. It is prosperous, but colleagues are easy to get along with, and there is not too much intrigue, it is good to be able to settle down here."

Just with Chang'an's ability, it is too wasteful to stay here.

Wu Wei didn't say these words. He knew that Shen Changan was a very thoughtful person, and it was useless to say what others said about what he was determined to do.

Among friends, the most important thing is to support each other's decisions.

"We can sing together when we have time in the future." Wu Wei put his hand on Shen Chang'an's shoulder, "Let's not say anything else, the food here in Wuming City is delicious."

"Chang'an." Ding Yang stood a few steps away from the two and knocked on the wall. After attracting the attention of the two, "The procedure for investigating the scene has been written, and we can go to the general manager to sign."

"Okay." Shen Changan smiled at Wu Wei, "I know that there is a cold pot fish that is especially delicious. I'll take you there when the weekend is over."

"Okay." Wu Wei nodded towards Ding Yang, "I'll take you to the general manager to sign."

As soon as the three of them walked out, they saw the security guard at the gate downstairs coming in with a young man wearing a Taoist robe, "Mr. Wang, the master has arrived."

General Manager Wang looked at the young Taoist priest who came to the door, and then looked at the two staff of the civilian service department who came out with Wu Wei, with a somewhat embarrassed expression.

The sudden encounter of theology and science is always so unexpected. Other employees in the office also reacted, and everyone was a little embarrassed. The well-kept civilian service department staff just found out that there was a problem with their company's operating system. Here came a young master who claimed to be a descendant of Longhumen. This is not Talk about theology in front of science

A few days ago, Zhang Tianshi, who claimed to be a descendant of Longhumen, was a fake. This time, General Manager Wang spent a lot of energy and favor to invite a true master who is certified by a famous school. Who would have expected the civil service department? As for the staff, will they suddenly come to investigate the scene today

The silence in the office at this moment is synonymous with boundless embarrassment.

"Hey?" When Zhang Gu saw Shen Changan, he remembered the frustration of not being able to erase Shen Changan's memory, and he took the initiative to say hello a little embarrassedly, "You are also from this company?"

Shen Changan took out his work card and handed it to Zhang Gu, smiling innocently: "Hello, I'm a staff member of the people's livelihood service department."

Zhang Gu: "..."

Isn't this the department that likes to hand out leaflets on the street with the slogans "Believe in science, science is a treasure" and "If you are not in good health, go to the hospital"

"Did you... find out the reason?" Zhang Gu Xiu Dao's talent is very ordinary, he can't see the qi with the naked eye, and distinguish the number of blessings and longevity, but there is a vague intuition that tells him that although Shen Changan is more polite and polite, there is no harm. .

Cultivators value their intuition very much, so facing Shen Changan, he unconsciously lost half a point. People who don't understand Taoism, but don't respond to his memory removal technique, are definitely not too ordinary.

"There is a problem with the program password, and it needs to be maintained by professional program security personnel. The loophole cannot be completely patched within an hour or two." Shen Changan also has a deep memory of this young Taoist priest who broke his three views. .

"It turns out to be like this." Zhang Gu immediately turned to the general manager and said, "It is very correct to ask professionals to solve problems. Since it is a computer system problem, there is no need for mediocrity. What we focus on in the new era is scientific events. Treat it scientifically, you must not feudal superstition, feudal superstition kills people, you know?"

Everyone in the company silently looked at the serious Zhang Gu, what kind of feudal superstition did you talk about as a Taoist that killed people

"Our Taoism is about the nature of heaven and earth, faith, and has nothing to do with feudal superstition..." Zhang Gu's eyes fell to the corner, paused, and took out the compass to take a look, with a complicated expression, and pulled Shen Changan over. To everyone, "Let's take a rest first, and I will discuss system security issues with the staff of the Civil Service Department."

Everyone: "… "

Today's Taoist priests are also so interested in system security issues

Ding Yang: "..."

He is also a staff member of the Civil Service Department, so why not ask him to discuss it together.

Zhang Gu pulled Shen Changan to the corner and whispered to him, "Brother, I didn't mean to spread the word about ghosts and gods in front of you, but this office... his grandfather's really has ghosts."

"Good Taoist, don't swear." Shen Changan raised his eyebrows.

Zhang Gu: "..."

The point is not swear words, but there are ghosts, okay

"The ghost you're talking about, shouldn't it be the young man who hid in the corner and worked hard?" Shen Changan thought about it carefully. Among the lazy employees, only the young man was exceptionally gregarious. This office is seriously different.

"You can see it?" Zhang Gu was also a little surprised.

"It's so big, it's hard to pretend that you don't see it." Shen Changan opened the door of the safe passage, and saw the young man hiding in the corner to eavesdrop, seeing him suddenly open the door, he was frightened. The corners shivered. As if he was a bully, the young man was a bullied girl.

"Come here." Shen Changan hooked his fingers at him.

The young man walked towards Shen Changan tremblingly. Zhang Gu could only see a vague ghostly energy. He sensed the approaching of the ghostly energy. Ghost, suddenly do evil.

Shen Changan stretched out his hand and pressed back the talisman paper in Zhang Gu's hand, and said to the young man, "Why are you lingering in this company and unwilling to leave?"

When the young man was still three or four steps away from Shen Chang'an, he didn't dare to move forward. He shrank his neck and said honestly, "I'm an otaku, and I'm very afraid of dealing with people, so I hide at home and play games every day. I don't want to go to work."

"In July this year, when I went out to buy things, it suddenly rained heavily. General Manager Wang saw that I was thin and thin, so he took an umbrella with me and encouraged me to come out and look for a job."

It can be seen that this young man is not very good at words, and he said something very simple: "A few days later, I heard that a branch of a large company was established here, so I went to submit my resume, but I didn't expect the company's The person in charge is Mr. Wang. Mr. Wang didn’t dislike me for not being very good at speaking, but he valued my ideas and creativity very much, so he decided to let me work in the company.”

"I didn't know I died suddenly the night before I went to work." Speaking of this, the young man was a little annoyed, "I didn't even have a chance to say goodbye to the fans."

Although the young man does not like to talk in reality, he is a funny and humorous Weibo blogger on the Internet. He also writes novels on the Internet. There are millions of fans who follow him. It can also make fans watch it with gusto.

"Maybe it's because I was a little unwilling to die, so I became a ghost?" The young man didn't quite understand why he stayed in the world, "The novels and comics do not always have such settings, because death There was something you couldn't worry about before, so you couldn't be reincarnated?"

"I haven't been able to wait for the person who will take me to reincarnate. I can only find the reason for myself. After thinking about it, I came here to work." Referring to these people in the company, the young man was a little disappointed, "but I didn't expect that, Mr. Wang's staff would be so lazy. I tried my best to help them with online marketing and improve the favorability of passersby, but they couldn't even manage the production line. I was afraid that they would be scolded by customers, so I could only use the reason of conscientious enterprises to save them The downside is that they are severely understocked.”

Speaking of this, the young man's face was exhausted: "I tried my best to help them sell sales, but they suspected that I had become a ghost and wanted to kill them. Tell me, is it easy for me to be a nerd? Even if I am a king, I can't carry so much. of bronze!"

Zhang Gu nodded sympathetically: "It's really not easy."

"There is a problem with the company's system. If you can't find out the reason, it is said to be haunted." The young man shook his head repeatedly, "Which ghost is so boring, and he is full of ghost power just to let them watch horror videos, not to be full."

"What era is it, what ghosts and gods do you believe in when things go wrong? Even the kings can't bring them along." After the young man finished complaining, his mood finally calmed down. He glanced at Shen Changan cautiously, and the fear in his eyes could not be concealed. , "Fortunately, you came over today and helped them point out the reason, otherwise they would have to invite a Taoist priest to do it."

The real Taoist priest Zhang Gu couldn't hold back: "You should also be glad that the Taoist cultivator you met today is me. Some Taoist cultivators are very strict with ghosts wandering in the world. If they came, they might have locked your soul and imprisoned you long ago. "

"Have you... finished talking?" Ding Yang pointed his head over, did he see it wrong just now, the Taoist seemed to be talking to the air

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but touched his arm and took a few steps towards Shen Changan: "Changan, do you think it's very cold here?"

Watching Ding Yang pass through the young man's body and come to him, Shen Changan couldn't bear to tell him that there was a ghost two steps away from him, so he had to say, "There is a vent here, so it's colder. ."

"So that's the case." Ding Yang calmed down and walked a few steps with a dry smile, "No wonder it's so cold." It's just that the air cooling is a little uneven, and he can feel the different temperatures just by walking a few steps.

"Sir, can you tell your friend not to walk around?" The young man watched Ding Yang constantly wear it in his body, "Although I don't have a physical body, it's not a ghost."

They've all turned into ghosts, so what face is there? Shen Changan said to Ding Yang, "Brother Yang, stand on my side, there is no wind here, it's a little warmer."

Ding Yang hurriedly walked to the place where Shen Changan pointed, stood still, smiled gratefully at him, it was indeed much warmer here. He turned to look at Zhang Gu: "Mr. Taoist, do you know Chang'an?"

"One-sided relationship, not too familiar." Without waiting for Zhang Gu to speak, Shen Changan took the lead and said, "The matter has been resolved, let's go back."

"Wait!" The young man pouted and hugged Shen Chang'an's thigh: "Boss, your whole body is covered in golden light, and you look like a great man, can you think of a way to make me reincarnated, it's so boring to be a ghost, I can't drink otaku happy water, and I can't buy my beloved figure, please save the child."

"Brother Yang, you go first, I remember that there are two more words to say to the Taoist priest." Shen Changan looked down at the young man who was hugging his thighs. After taking Ding Yang away, he hooked his legs lightly, and the young man became round and round. Tuan, rolled down the stairs.

"Sorry, I didn't expect you guys to kick so hard, are you alright?" Shen Changan looked at the young man crawling up the stairs and couldn't help but take a step back, "You better stop climbing like this, it's not a horror film. piece."

"My, my legs are weak and I can't stand up." The young man lay on the ground and hugged Shen Chang'an's ankles again with trembling hands. "It's not my fault sir, it's because my ghost power is too weak to bear the golden light on your body."

"You said he has golden light on him?" Zhang Gu couldn't see the anger of others, but after listening to the young man's description, Shen Chang'an's eyes were shining, "Boss, you have merit!"

Yes, I have not only merit, but also merit in ten lifetimes, Shen Changan smiled calmly.

"Big brother, have you ever thought about entering our Xuanmen?" Zhang Gu said, "With your talent, as long as you worship our Xuanmen, it will definitely be the future of our Xuanmen. Do you want to consider it?"

"Thank you, I think it's fine now." Shen Changan refused without thinking, he lowered his head and said to the young man, "It's useless for you to ask me, the major is not right, why don't you ask Zhang Daochang to find a way?"

"I can't." Zhang Gu hurriedly said, "I have mediocre aptitude, and I am not yet able to communicate with yin and yang. But my uncle may be able to do it. He is not only good at various mysterious arts, but also can communicate with yin and yang. The most important thing is, He just stayed in Wuming City for the last year, we can take him to ask his uncle to find out what is going on."

"Thank you Taoist, thank you Taoist." The young man said, "How about I help you do a marketing on the Internet and create popularity for your sect."

"Thank you, no need, our Taoist sect pays attention to everything, you should think about how to successfully reincarnate." Zhang Gujing thanked him for not being sensitive, he took out a bag, "How about I put you away and take you to the master's uncle's house?"

"No, no, I think it's good to hang on Mr.'s legs." The young man remembered the scene in the comics where the ghost was put into a gourd or a jar by a Taoist priest, and shook his head into a rattle, "Mr.'s thighs are slender and warm, and also Glittering, I love it."

"Okay, I'm not reluctant if you like being dragged on the ground." Zhang Gu put away the small bag and said to Shen Changan, "Then let's go over now?"

"Wait, I'm calling my friend, we have an appointment to have dinner together at noon." Shen Changan took out his mobile phone and dialed Daonian's mobile phone number.

"Dao Nian, I have something to do at noon, so I may not be able to come back for dinner..." Shen Changan looked down at the ghost hanging on his feet, "I have something to do temporarily, and I need to find someone."

"Are you waiting for me at home?" Shen Changan glanced at the time, hesitated for less than three seconds, "Okay, I'll be back as soon as I finish the business."

Daonian hung up the phone and looked blankly at Changfeng Biological Company across the street: "Go back."

"Sir, you can go with Mr. Shen." Liu Mao looked at Daonian's icy face and said something with courage.

"You know what human men hate the most?"

Liu Mao shook his head.

"I hate not having freedom the most." Dao Nian closed his eyes, "I have existed for so many years, I can't care about children, it's all up to him."

Liu Mao thought, with your icy face, you really can't tell that you don't care.

It's just that Mr. Shen is too accommodating to Mr. Shen. Even if Mr. Shen is a tenth-generation virtuous person, it is not enough to make Mr. Shen treat him differently.

So, what's the reason

He glanced at the cold face of the gentleman in the rearview mirror, destined to have no emotions, and suddenly had the feeling of "need", is this a bad omen, or is this a turning point in a world where spiritual energy is getting thinner and thinner

Since the demise of the Great Dao ten thousand years ago, the human race has suddenly prospered, and all races have followed the path set by heaven and gradually approached their predetermined destiny. No matter whether it is a god or a demon, it is impossible to get rid of its own ending.

Seeing the prosperity of human beings, it is not that there is no jealousy of the demon clan, but the prosperity of human beings, the gods and demons are not allowed to touch their edge. But even human beings cannot survive forever and become permanent miracles.

Mr. is incarnated by the way of heaven, and is the last barrier of gods, demons and even human beings. If Mr. also died along with the way, what would this world look like

He didn't dare to think about it, and he couldn't imagine it. Perhaps the works created by human beings themselves are the perfect scenario simulations.

Shen Changan and Zhang Gu called for an online car-hailing car. When they arrived at the destination, Shen Changan looked at Zhang Gu suspiciously. Isn't this the community where he lives

"My uncle has lived here recently, but he has been in a bad mood in recent days. I heard that there is a monk who is staying at his house and won't leave."

This statement seems a bit... familiar

When Zhang Gu knocked on the door and Uncle Zhang's figure appeared in the door, Shen Changan knew that the world was really not big.

"Qinggu?" Uncle Zhang frowned, "Why are you here?"

"Qinggu has seen Master Uncle." Facing this very strict Master Uncle in the sect, Zhang Gu, who is not very skilled in his studies, is very respectful, "Master Uncle, there is something unclear about this junior, please Master Uncle for help."

"It seems that you have made rapid progress recently, and there is only one thing you need to ask for help." Uncle Zhang raised the corner of his mouth, but this smile was ironic.

Zhang Gu: "..."

Pretending not to hear the deep meaning of Grand Master's words, Zhang Gu turned to look at Shen Changan who was standing beside him: "Master Master, this is a friend I just met, you..."

"Shen Changan?" Seeing Shen Changan walking out from behind Zhang Gu, Uncle Zhang looked down at the ghost hanging on his feet, and suddenly said loudly, "Wait, stand still, I want to open your eyes to the sky for you. !"

Today, he is going to be ashamed. Who said there are no ghosts in the world? !

Zhang Gu looked at Grand Master and Shen Changan in confusion. What happened

Uncle Zhang took out a talisman and first stopped the ghost hanging on Shen Changan's body, lest the ghost escape. Then he took out a bottle of precious cow's tears and walked towards Shen Chang'an, and said with great pride, "I won't give you a big surprise today, I won't be named Zhang!"

Shen Changan: "..."

The author has something to say: Shen Changan: ? ? ? Hello, is something wrong
