Reading Agreement

"This..." Lao Lin frowned slightly, hesitating slightly: "This...is a 'respectful inquiry system'."

Shi Zhen didn't understand: "What do you mean?"

"'System' is a pattern, a pattern of behavior within a limited range." Lao Lin pointed to the tiles on the table and said: "How to explain it specifically, first of all, start with this tile. This kind of tile is called Huahua. The pieces are not mass-produced, but the models are built in advance according to the original size of the thing, the final pattern is drawn, and finally the pieces are moved into the kiln for firing. So there are not many more pieces, and many less pieces.”

"What if one piece is burned?" Gao Yang was curious.

Lao Lin smiled and said: "Then we have to start all over again. Anyway, these tiles are in one batch, and there is no room for any mistakes. As long as there is a flaw, it will not be able to complete the next action. If you use it reluctantly, you will not be able to make it smoothly." 'run."

"It's just that there can be no mistakes, and it's not very special." Shi Zhen said lightly from the side.

"If it's just flowers, it's really just a matter of success rate. Now that the technology is so advanced, the success rate is almost 90%, which is not difficult." Lao Lin put down the magnifying glass, took off his glasses and continued: "This flower can't be The overall error, another special thing is the paint."

Shi Zhen raised an eyebrow and asked, "What paint?"

"The paint on this flower piece is actually the same as the paint on this stone." Lao Lin pointed to the fragment of the stone: "This paint is called incense seal ink, scented incense, sealed seal."

"Xiangfeng? The name is a bit strange." Shi Zhen said.

Lao Lin smiled and explained: "There is a limited range of production, so there is a seal in the ink, which is a reinforcement of the limited range. This kind of pigment comes from an unknown town on the border. It is as rare as people who use it and know it. Sales have always been bad. If you want to obtain it, experts usually go to Heigu Street Market to look for it, and they are familiar with the road."

"Is there anything special about this paint besides the restricted ingredients?" Shi Zhen asked.

"Extraordinary fragrance," Lao Lin narrowed his eyes slightly as if he was smelling a lot of flowers: "Within its effective range, it can cover up almost all other smells.".

"Are you sure this kind of tiles coated with incense sealing ink can emit fragrance?" Shi Zhen recalled the two times he went to the corridor, thinking that there was nothing but the sultry musty smell.

Lao Lin smiled and said, "It's like this. The scent of the incense seal ink needs to be sprayed with water to develop. That is to say, when you want it to emit fragrance, you must use a lot of water to wet the flower pieces, and wait for a minute or two. , it can exude fragrance, and it can basically keep the fragrance for about an hour."

After saying this, Lao Lin went outside to fetch a disposable cup and took a cup of clear water. After obtaining Shi Zhen's consent, he put the flower fragments into the water, soaked them for a minute or two, took them out, and put them on the table.I saw that the already somewhat dull pattern on the porcelain piece became brighter after being soaked in water, and a faint fragrance was faintly spreading from the table.

"It's so weird." Shi Zhen leaned against the sofa to avoid the weird fragrance, with a little surprise in his eyes.

"Xiangfeng ink is an unusual thing, and it is a monster in itself." Lao Lin said thoughtfully: "It is combined with flower pieces, and the color will not lose after firing; when it is painted on the wall, the color will change for a period of time." After time, it slowly fades and finally disappears. This is why the color on the flowers is still beautiful, but the lines on the stones are almost invisible. Of course, if water is poured on the stones, although the pattern will no longer be, but the remaining The fragrance still remains, and some fragrance will also be emitted."

"Just incense?" Shi Zhen glanced at the table and raised his eyebrows. He felt that the matter was not that simple.

Lao Lin smiled mysteriously: "Of course it's not just because of the fragrance. There are so many things that can emit a smell. Why do you say it is special? This is related to the 'respect system' when I started talking about it. It is a very key item among them. "

Shi Zhen blinked at him, waiting for him to continue.

Lao Lin sighed and explained: "What is the respectful questioning system? To put it bluntly, it means to ask some questions in a respectful manner. To put it more deeply, it means to buy some time for the dying person to 'talk'."

Hearing what Lao Lin said, Shi Zhen frowned slightly, trying to buy time for people to understand, but he didn't understand what it meant to "buy some time to talk?"

"When a person is dying, he can maintain his life for a period of time through medical means such as equipment and drugs. However, many people in this state have actually fallen into a deep coma or brain death, and it is impossible to wake up again. Reluctant to give up, so I am still taking medicine and an oxygen tube.” Lao Lin glanced at the two things on the table, a little lamenting the impermanence of the world, calmed down and continued: “At this time, some people may still have a last word to say. Maybe the family still needs to know something from him, so he (she) needs to wake up one last time and say a few words."

"Wake up a person who has been sentenced to near death?" Shi Zhen frowned slightly, and asked bluntly: "If there is such an easy-to-use method, wouldn't it be popularized soon, and how could it be a secret that only a few people know about?" ? What are the pros and cons of it? What strange conditions will happen?"

"You really understand people. There is indeed a big problem in the operation of the questioning system, and it will change suddenly." There was a mysterious and strange light in Lao Lin's eyes.

"Turn into what?" Gao Yang asked, the outline of the monster in the corridor flashed in his mind.

"Become neither human nor ghost." Lao Lin replied word by word, with an unusually strange expression on his face.

Gao Yang frowned slightly, and asked, "How to say specifically?"

"It's like this." Lao Lin adjusted his sitting posture and explained: "The first thing to do is to ask for a platform covered with flower pieces. It can cover up some 'dead air'. On the other hand, the pattern of the flower pieces is generally based on flowers, and occasionally the preferences of the living are drawn. The fragrance has a soothing effect on the people on the platform."

"It doesn't matter if Xiangfeng ink builds a platform, or builds a big house, all of these are nothing more than creating a landscape for the purpose of creating an environment," Shi Zhen said coldly: "Everything is carefully planned to create a closed environment, so that those who go there will not be at peace. In order to selfishly ask the questions I want to know, it’s no wonder this thing can be popularized.”

After hearing these words, Lao Lin couldn't help being startled. He felt that Shi Zhen didn't seem to know everything. His visit seemed to be just to let him fill in some content.

"Continue." Shi Zhen said coldly.

Lao Lin smiled awkwardly, not daring to stop, and immediately said: "After the Huapian platform is completed, a peach wood plank will be laid on it, because the people lying on it are still living and not dead, so door panels are absolutely not allowed. In addition...the peach wood has It has the function of suppressing disasters and avoiding evil spirits, so the peach wood board becomes the best choice."

"It's very particular." Shi Zhen said lightly.

Lao Lin smiled awkwardly: "After the platform is built, a relatively airtight space needs to be built to make it a controllable space, which also meets the space requirements of the 'respectful inquiry system'. At the same time, in this space, it is necessary to Use incense seal ink to draw three primary color lines, surround the room, seal the space, and also represent the review of this person's life."

This matches the corridor.After hearing this, Gao Yang thought to himself.

Lao Lin said: "Of course, those who have the conditions, or those who have a more brilliant life, will draw some irregular graphics to represent various major events that happened in their lives. In this way, an independent environment about the parties is created."

"Are there any space requirements? For example, a long corridor, or a huge space?" Gao Yang asked.

"Big ones with conditions, small ones without conditions, no fixed requirements." Lao Lin replied: "It is better to have a corridor, and the longer the corridor, the longer the other party wants to maintain it. As for the size of the space, it depends on financial resources. Because after finishing these, the ceremony will start, and the size of the space is related to her range of activities. However, no matter how long it is, it will not exceed 12 hours.

Shi Zhen asked: "Apart from space, what other requirements are there?"

"The creation of the environment is basically completed here. Next is the preparation of props. First, prepare a large white cloak, soaked in the blood of the white eagle at the end. The eagle is a symbol of freedom, so being stained with its blood can be said to set the person free for a while. "

"Understood." Shi Zhen nodded, and the bowl of blood that Situ Feng mentioned flashed through his mind, as well as the second time he went to the corridor to get a trace of red cloth.Because the fabric was only soaked with eagle blood on the bottom edge, Ms. Jin's friend Mr. He didn't notice it, thinking it was just a white and broken cloak.However, for the sake of the first blood, a white eagle was killed, and the methods of the people behind the scenes were cruel enough.

Lao Lin continued: "When everything is done, the landscaping is completed, and the environment is completed, the last thing to do is to put the person with the cape on the platform, and wait!"

"Waiting for what?" Gao Yang asked curiously.

"Wait until she wakes up." Lao Lin said.

"She can talk when she wakes up? Can she answer questions?" Gao Yang blinked. If the matter was really that simple, why did he go to the extra effort to force him to read?

"Is there a step missing among you?" Shi Zhen sat on the sofa and said casually: "It is enough for a person to lie on the peach wood board? Who will give her medicine to continue her life? Who will give her the oxygen to breathe? It is to move a medical Did the team enter the territory?"

Lao Lin's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly said with a smile: "Indeed, we haven't finished the lecture yet, there is still one more step—overoxygen."

Oxygen!Gao Yang was startled, he had heard this word before from the little girl, and this was the second time he heard it today.

After continuing a round of tea, Lao Lin prepared the draft before continuing: "As I said just now, a person needs equipment in addition to medicine to extend his life. The most important part of it is an indispensable state of life for everyone, which is breathing oxygen. .People who accept the questioning system also need oxygen. Without oxygen, it is impossible to survive, and it is impossible to wake up and be questioned."

Shi Zhen nodded in agreement.
