When Wang Yuechuan was surprised, they drove all the way out, and finally Professor Cui Fu led him to a certain mountain in the suburbs.
I only saw a few tile-roofed farmers' houses on the road, which can be said to be a panicked place.
In the end, the two got out of the car and climbed up the mountain on foot. As a former policeman, Wang Yuechuan's physical fitness is quite good, but Professor Cui Fu's is not good enough. After a while, he was panting like a cow and his head was full of men. Wang Yuechuan also had to worry about the professor's ability to persevere.
In addition, Professor Cui Fu kept looking around and frowning from time to time as he was walking... Wang Yuechuan believed that this old professor came to this place for the first time, so he was not familiar with it.
"Professor, what are you looking for?" Wang Yuechuan asked calmly.
"The grave." Professor Trevor said without looking back, "To be precise, it should be a place called a mass grave. I saw some local residents mentioning this place when they were chatting on the Internet... Well, It should be in this direction, let's hurry up."
Wang Yuechuan didn't say much... "Book of the Dead" was all translated by this professor. Although he had doubts, he didn't have a tenable point of view. But is it possible to find someone else to translate besides Professor Trevor
Wang Yuechuan believes that besides Professor Cui Fu, there must be someone who can translate, but it is not easy to find... More importantly, the less you know about the "Book of the Dead", the better.
"Here we are!" Professor Cui Fu suddenly stopped, smiled and said: "My lord, if you use your Eastern words, it means that heaven pays off!"
"Really?" Wang Yuechuan nodded, "What should I do next? Before you go out, you seem to have mentioned...a certain ceremony?"
This is what Professor Trevor mentioned before going out, saying that through a specific ceremony, the practice of magic can be accelerated, and at the same time, the magic power of the individual can be improved, but the conditions are very harsh.
Professor Trevor nodded at this time and looked around. This is a part of the mountainside, the terrain is sunken inward, and the surrounding area is already shaded and humid. Among the exposed soil, some water chestnuts of the 'golden pagoda' used to bury the bones can also be seen.
"It has been mentioned in the "Book of the Dead" 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 was going to use. At the same time looking at Wang Yuechuan: "This is why you can master and use magic faster than me. Because you are younger than me."
Wang Yuechuan said calmly: "I knew this a long time ago. Then, what does it have to do with this mass grave?"
Professor Trevor said: "I don't know who wrote this "Book of the Dead". Although there are many meanings in translation and some differences in the composition of modern words, it can still be guessed. For example, will and spirit, It seems to be the same thing to modern people, but "Book of the Dead" distinguishes it. Physical strength is easy to explain, so why are will and spirit separated? This is how I understand it. Will is actually our thoughts. And the so-called spirit should refer to mental power, a special energy that can be expressed concretely with numerical values."
Wang Yuechuan frowned and said, "You mean, maybe there is this special energy... mental power in this place?"
Professor Cui Fu nodded and said: "That's right. It was mentioned in the "Book of the Dead" that all life has a soul, the difference is just strength, but the birth and annihilation of the soul are the same process. If the body as the 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 life, they can easily transform into another body in some special places after death. A special energy body. This energy body should be called a ghost, or the predecessor of a ghost. And through this special ceremony, we can absorb the energy of these special energy bodies and transform them into our spirit, that is, Mental strength."
"In this case, let's start." Wang Yuechuan said directly.
I saw that Professor Cui Fu did not procrastinate at this time. After taking the "Book of the Dead" from Wang Yuechuan, he opened one of the pages, and then followed the pattern on this page, and began to burial in this humid mass burial. On the post, at different locations, crystals bought from the market were placed one by one.
If these different crystals are connected with lines, it seems to be a specific pattern... probably the content of the "Book of the Dead".
"Professor, when did you buy this crystal? Why can't I remember it?" Wang Yuechuan looked at Professor Trevor abruptly, 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 pass by an antique shop and bought it. This black crystal is in good condition. It was originally intended to be used as a raw material for magic, but it happened to be When I found this ritual, I used it.”
"En." Wang Yuechuan just nodded.
Professor Cui Fu was busy for a while, and finally completed the arrangement, then looked at Wang Yuechuan, hesitantly said: "Wang... look, who will perform this ceremony first? To be honest, I just finished translating, so I'm not sure Is there any effect, is there any danger. Otherwise, I will come first."
Wang Yuechuan stared at Professor Cui Fu, his gaze seemed to have a special magic power in Professor Cui Fu's eyes... Of course, this magic power is not the other magic power, it is a kind of gaze that can make people panic.
"No need." Wang Yuechuan shook his head suddenly, "It's fine 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'm stronger than you, even if there is an accident, Coping is always better than yours."
"This... that's fine." Professor Cui Fu nodded, then looked at Wang Yuechuan, and said seriously: "Thank you, Wang."
"You're welcome." Wang Yuechuan said indifferently: "It's just a matter of priority... so, what should I do?"
"Go straight inside." Professor Trevor pointed to the magic circle of the ceremony, "Then I will try to activate these crystals outside. If there are still spirits left in this place, they will be attracted by 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 Fu, 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 is here... this is a good opportunity.
It's a pity that he doesn't have enough ability. At the same time, even though Wang Yuechuan proposed to try it himself, Professor Cui Fu was still afraid when he saw it just now... Wang Yuechuan still didn't fully trust him.
But... you've been in it since you peeked at my notes.
While thinking about it, Professor Trevor started the ceremony. 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 something wonderful began to emerge around him.
"Sure enough, there are still some spirits left! Absorb them quickly!" Professor Trevor said hastily at this time.
At this time, Wang Yuechuan had a very basic feeling. Ever since the birth of magic power, he could feel in his head all the time, as if there was a special seed. This is the so-called seed of magic power.
At this time, this magic seed is absorbing the energy of those transformed spirit bodies... not much, just a trace, but it is slowly nourishing this magic seed.
I don't know how long it took, but this nourishing feeling suddenly stopped, and Wang Yuechuan subconsciously opened his eyes, "Why did it stop?"
I saw that Professor Trevor outside was pale at this time, as if he had collapsed, and sat on the ground, "My king, I can't hold on any longer. Maintaining this ritual consumes a lot of energy."
In fact, to increase the magic power should be to increase the upper limit of the magic power. The speed of relying on meditation to increase the upper limit is too slow. This moment of absorption has made Wang Yuechuan's magic power seeds grow nearly three times, and it is natural to feel lost when he stops suddenly.
But since this ritual is useful, then don't rush it for a while, Wang Yuechuan stood up quickly: "In this case, then you teach me how to activate it, and then you can absorb it, professor."
Not long after, Professor Cui Fu also began to absorb the energy transformed by 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 is far greater than the consumption .
After all, the magic power consumed can be recovered naturally. Basically, if you have enough rest, you can almost replenish it 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 spirit bodies absorbed by the ritual.
The Book of the Dead... Then, what will be the world of these spirit bodies formed after death
What will be the world after death
Regardless of whether it is the East or the West, there are many descriptions of the world after death.
For example, the underworld in the East and the hell in the West. Or the so-called heaven, heaven and so on.
These descriptions have even undergone a lot of artistic processing, and the world after death has even been imagined by human beings as a complete and rigorous world, but no one has ever really seen the so-called world of the dead.
If these spirit bodies are just a simple aggregation of some kind of energy, why is it that although they are almost transparent, they can still vaguely see their appearance in life.
And one of the spirit bodies, although absorbed by the ritual formation, looked towards Wang Yuechuan at this moment. Its expression suddenly became painful, began to distort, and finally revealed a ferocious expression.
Wang Yuechuan could even feel a sense of discomfort from the spirit staring at it... It was hatred.
If it's just energy, where does the hatred come from... Does it still retain thoughts
If the mind is still retained, according to Professor Trevor's explanation, the will that constitutes the magic power is equal to the human mind... Does it mean that the spirit body also retains the will
The world after death... what will it be
…
…
"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 at the moment, while drinking Long Xiruo's special energy-boosting drink, he asked, "These two days in our class? Girls started talking about pen fairy and so on, so I was curious to ask, is there really a ghost?"
Long Xiruo asked casually while poking out her ears: "Why do you discuss things like pen immortals?"
"Because there is a movie released recently, which is a horror movie about pen fairy." 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's actually a little different from the pen fairy you know."
"What's the difference?" Mo Xiaofei suddenly looked like a curious baby.
"First of all, something like a pen fairy is not capable of answering all your questions."
Long Xiruo poked out the other ear, "The original pen masters were actually some scholars. Hmm... It should be said that they were the kind of scholars who studied hard in order to gain fame in ancient times? Simply put, they are the ones who study hard. They died in front of the book, but their obsession persisted, and they would cling to the book. Later, such a book was obtained by other scholars, because they were both keen on knowledge, and it was easy to resonate between the two. At this time The so-called pen celestial beings will appear, and the scholars will ask the pen celestial beings about the knowledge in the book that they don't understand, and they will get answers... I don't know how this matter got out, it was originally a process of the dead scholars teaching the living ones, and over time it becomes It’s so funny to become a pen fairy who knows everything!”
"That's too loud!" Mo Xiaofei immediately cast a flash of light on Long Xiruo, "Doesn't this mean getting a personal tutor for nothing!"
But Long Xiruo waved his hand and said: "How can it be so easy for a pen fairy to appear? Only a true scholar, the kind with a heart of innocence, can become a pen fairy, attached to books, and will last for a long time. Normally, it is estimated that death is death. Anyway, the underworld is closed now, and the three souls and seven souls will be wiped out by the yang energy of the world before long."
"Oh!" Mo Xiaofei nodded, then was taken aback for a moment, "Teacher, what did you just say...the hell is not open? Is there really such a thing as hell? After death, there is really another world?"
Long Xiruo continued to yawn, propped her head and said, "Why, don't you believe in such things?"
Mo Xiaofei shook his head and said: "No, it just feels a bit illogical... Isn't it said that the underworld is a place where people are reincarnated? If this is the case, it sounds okay to be reincarnated after death. But the population has always been It is increasing rapidly. Even if the people who died before were reincarnated, they still can’t account for so many new populations, right? Then where do the souls of those new populations come from? Play it with a dozen or twenty or even more trumpets?"
Long Xiruo smiled, and suddenly said: "If you use this kind of words... it's 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 divided into ten numbers, without Problem! As for the reincarnated souls, they will gradually grow up to become complete three souls and seven souls through the nourishment of the body. This is a complete reincarnation, so no matter how many people there are, there will not be enough souls. Sometimes even Because of this, the population of the underworld will explode, too busy! Many years ago, a fool said that if the hell is not empty, he would not become a Buddha, but because of this, he was directly cheated."
I go…
"Teacher, isn't the idiot you're talking about the legendary Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva?"
"What do you think?" Long Xiruo asked instead.
Mo Xiaofei knew that he had asked a stupid question, so he laughed dryly, "But why is the underworld closed now? If it is not open, wouldn't there be no one reincarnated?"
Long Xiruo shook her head: "About this, I don't know... It's just that the passage from the underworld to the human world was closed by someone, or for some reason. I haven't seen it for about a hundred years. The army of soul arresters has come from the underworld."
"Turn it off..." Mo Xiaofei was a little dazed and asked subconsciously: "If it is not turned on, where does the soul of the newborn come from?"
Long Xiruo said abruptly: "That's why there are so many 'fake people' in the world! Otherwise, how do you think you can still live to this day? How can that boss be so kind? Because you are just a 'true soul'!"
