homeless

Yu Yiqin understood the meaning of pretending to be a ghost, that is, using a person to pretend to be a ghost, another thing he didn't understand.

"Why can you enjoy people's mourning and vows better if you pretend to be a ghost?"

Guan Lao said cheerfully: "Here, that's why I came to find Xiao Du. I have nothing to do, so I came to discuss with him."

Under normal circumstances, Yu Yiqin would not inquire about other people's topics, but right now, he should not ignore any clues about swastikas. He said, "Tell me about it, I'm also interested in this."

As soon as Guan Yaoquan listened to the words, he exploded: "This is just my personal opinion, it may not be right."

Yu Yiqin: "I understand, you tell me."

Guan Yaoquan: "I think these condolences and vows, in layman's terms, are incense in the world. This concept is used in TV dramas, folk myths and legends, as well as our ancient temples and scenic spots that are blooming everywhere now. Very common, mortals need gods to bless them, gods need incense and offerings, everyone gets what they need, good luck, right?"

Yu Yiqin: "Well, but those are all legends. After the Jedi, there should be no authentic gods in the world, and some are false gods replaced by demons and ghosts."

He could say that he saw all these with his own eyes, but Guan Yaoquan mistakenly thought that he was a fan of strange things and strange aspirations like Du Hanzhang, and he became more excited.

"From the written record, it's true, and it's impossible for someone to come out and say something about it so early, so the level of our discussion is also at the level of the written record."

Yu Yiqin responded, expressing that he understood, and Guan Yaoquan continued: "So I think the Gui family recorded on the stone drum should follow the same path, but their disguised image is not a high-ranking god, but a god. Everyone will become a ghost after death. If you do this, the probability of being enshrined is very high. Generally, as long as you are not a relative of an extinct family or a rebellious son, you will have incense to eat during the festivals. From a standpoint, this policy can be said to be very beneficial to the people.”

Yu Yiqin was a little dumbfounded: "It's very beneficial to the people, but the risk is not small. If all the people in a tribe tell lies, won't they be exposed?"

Guan Lao has a different opinion on this point, he said: "That's impossible, you think, even the same batch of robots that leave the factory will have individual failures, how can people be so unified?

It was written on the stone drum, some people in this tribe did not agree with this plan, and some people were still watching, so they separated into six small tribes. .This is the premise that secrets can be strictly guarded inside the tribe, let alone outside. "

The old man talked eloquently, as if he could talk for hours without stopping, but Yu Yiqin was inspired by the "six" and "ding", and interrupted: "I'm sorry, Mr. Guan, I have a question. .”

Guan Lao: "Tell me."

"Is there any record about the tripod on the stone drum?"

Guan Yaoquan didn't understand what he meant for a while: "No, why did you suddenly mention Ding."

Yu Yiqin mentioned the matter related to the tripod in Lin Jing's hand: "The tripod that Du Hanzhang and I asked you about last time, and these six ritual vessels are all bronze and engraved with swastikas. I'm thinking about the relationship between them. Is there any connection between them?"

Guan Lao pondered for a moment: "It might be, after all, this swastika is a bit special, I'll check it later."

Yu Yiqin thanked him, but the old man thought he was being too polite, so the two exchanged a few words, one was interested and the other was interested, and the topic automatically returned to the right track.

Guan Yaoquan said: "Back to the issue of debunking, the premise of a general conspiracy being exposed is that someone knows that some people are lying, and the premise of judging whether a lie is that the person who gave the judgment knows that this matter is true." Right or wrong, but at the time of this Guishi project, did people really know what a ghost was? Is there any way to identify a ghost?"

Yu Yiqin: "It depends on whether the plan of Gui Shi appeared first or the concept of ghosts appeared first in terms of time."

Mr. Guan couldn't stop talking. There was a woman in the background urging him to buy a bottle of oyster sauce. He yelled, "I'll go right away." on the phone.

"Well, I actually checked. This stone drum was excavated from Yunliu's tomb. It was a tomb from the Qin and Han Dynasties, but this stone drum and the three bronze vessels with swastikas are not from the same period. There are related descriptions in the epitaph, indicating that these objects were left by the ancestors, and they were used as funeral objects only because the owner of the tomb cherished them very much.

Based on this information, we can deduce that Gui Shi was earlier than the Qin and Han Dynasties. How much earlier it is needs to be supported by other evidence, but I think it should be quite ancient, because the concept of the state already existed in the Qin and Han Dynasties.Its information is unknown, let's not talk about it first, let's talk about this ghost.Xiao Yu, do you know the concept of when ghosts appear? "

Yu Yiqin thought about it for a while, and only remembered the sentence "Yin people respect ghosts", and Yin Shang Yin Shang, that is, the Shang Dynasty.

Guan Yaoquan said: "It is indeed the earliest written record about ghosts. The ghost culture is very interesting. It seems to have developed according to the template of human history.

For example, ghosts, that is, people who were killed by tigers. This kind of ghosts did not exist before the Ming Dynasty, because the tiger disease was not well-known at that time. Knowing that the tiger disease was serious in the later period, this kind of ghost appeared in the ghost world. ghost.

But in this way, a question arises, is there no one who was killed by a tiger before the Ming Dynasty?This is definitely impossible, but since there is, why not give people their names, and insist on delaying it for a thousand or 800 years? "

Yu Yiqin thought for a while and said, "What if there were ghosts before, but they were not called ghosts, but something else, and it was only changed in the Ming Dynasty?"

Guan Yaoquan: "I understand what you mean, okay, let's treat it as a ghost that changed its name in the Ming Dynasty, and the records of its former name just happened to be lost, but there are no less than a hundred names of other ghosts. They are all so coincidental, they just changed their name in a certain dynasty, and the records of the name change just happened to be lost? No, a coincidence is a rare coincidence. The same thing happens a hundred times, so it can’t be called a coincidence. It should be called the law."

Yu Yiqin couldn't refute. Seeing his silence, the old man thought he still had doubts, so he quickly quoted and argued again.

"Let me give you a special example, zombie. This word did not appear until the literati in the Qing Dynasty. In the thousands of years of history, no one mentioned this word at all. Why? It is also the land of China, It is also a corpse buried in a coffin. Why can only the corpses of the Qing Dynasty become zombies, but not the previous dynasties? Because this is a literary concept thought up by a literati of the Qing Dynasty. The literati of the previous dynasties have never heard of it, so naturally they have no way I followed creation.

There are many similar examples. For example, the concept of reincarnation. Before Buddhism was introduced to the Central Plains, no one said that people become ghosts after death, and ghosts can reincarnate into adults. Everyone only said that people will change after death. Become a ghost, the ghost is terrible, and it's over.

Why are these phenomena?Because people's imagination can't go beyond reality, those fictional things are variants of real things.Natural science says that ghost culture is created by human beings, and this conclusion can exactly correspond to the "humans filling ghosts" on Shigu.

I am actually quite in awe of the universe and advanced civilized creatures. I think it is an unknown mysterious power, but I don't believe in ghost theory, at least I don't believe in the ghosts recorded in these books. "

Yu Yiqin thought that the ghost clan in Youdu really existed, and it was very consistent with the record, but he didn't refute it in front of Guan Lao's phone call.

Mr. Guan said he wanted to discuss it, but he basically didn't leave much space for others, and he hung up happily after saying that he had enjoyed himself.

Here Yu Yiqin closed the line, and immediately relayed one to Duan Junxiu, and told him about the magic energy tracker over there. Yu Yiqin reciprocated and shared Guan Lao's views with him.

After hearing this, Duan Junxiu said with emotion: "This old man is a little bit eloquent. I am a little skeptical about what he said. Are there any ghosts in the world?"

"Ghosts must exist," Yu Yiqin said, "otherwise, what was the state before I got my body back?"

And the people of the entire Youdu.

Duan Junxiu said nonsense: "Didn't I say that, you are all the descendants of the Gui family who pretended to be ghosts."

Yu Yiqin didn't bother to talk to him, because his own body was not a vest. If he could wear it, he would be a member of the Jingu clan, and if he could take it off, he would be a descendant of the Gui clan. But the easiest way to find out whether the ghost clan and the Gui clan have anything to do is to Go find He Shi.

-

He Shi is still the same, Huang Xing is too busy to stay in bed at night, but he is leisurely drinking tea and watering the flowers.

"How did the ghost come here?"

Facing Yu Yiqin's question, He Shi was a little unimaginable: "After the death of the first person, the soul came out of the body, and the ghost appeared. No, why did you suddenly ask this kind of question? If you want to do research on ghosts?"

Yu Yiqin didn't think about it at all, he just wanted to save Du Hanzhang and Chunyu, and He Shi's answer was not enough to answer his doubts.

Who was the first person to die, where did he die, how did he and the second ghost meet, how did the group of ghosts develop and grow, what is the principle of ghost longevity and decline, and how did they discover Is there a reincarnation relationship between myself and the human race?

He Shizai was considered a high-spirited intellectual in the ghost clan, but he was also overwhelmed by Yu Yiqin's questioning in front of these unorthodox and remote archaeological content.

"What was the name of the first dead man?" He Shi said jokingly, "Who would know? Let me ask you, do you know the name of the first human being? You don't know, because he probably didn't even have a name. Something so early , As long as the archaeologists don’t release scientific research results, I can’t know, it’s meaningless to say these things. But your last question does make me suspect ghosts. To be honest, I never thought about this question, because ..."

He Shi's temples twitched, and he got stuck suddenly. He found that when he started to think about the issue of reincarnation, his mind suddenly became empty. It seemed that there was some kind of force stopping him in the dark. Don't think about——

What is the reason?Why not let him think?

During this lifetime of confusion, He Shi's mind "hummed", and he trembled his eyes. When the buzzing resounded in his consciousness, he suddenly forgot what he was thinking just now.

Yu Yiqin saw him standing there in a daze, his eyes straightened, and he was a little shocked, so he called him.

He Shi was lulled back to his senses by the voice, and was stunned for a few seconds before he said in an emotion that seemed to be driven by instinct: "There is no reason at all. We were born at the moment of the death of the human body, with the memory of the deceased. The connection is innate, and reincarnation is just an accepted name for this inherited phenomenon."

Yu Yiqin didn't mean to raise an argument, but He Shi's answer was indeed not as eloquent as Guan Yaoquan's. He asked He Shi about the coincidence of more than a hundred ghost names, but He Shi couldn't answer, and Yu Yiqin asked him if he had heard of Gui This tribe.

He Shi obviously hadn't heard of it, but he was inexplicably startled for some reason, as if he had a conditioned reflex to the word.

After he was shocked, he felt that he was inexplicable, and quickly discarded this weird feeling, and said seriously: "No, but I haven't paid attention to this before. What's wrong with this tribe?"

It must be offensive to say to He Shi that your ghost clan may all be pretenders, but Yu Yiqin said it directly.

He Shi was indeed shocked by this brain hole. He thought it was ridiculous, but he couldn't forget the shock just now.

He doesn't know if other ghost races are like this, anyway, he himself occasionally feels that there is something like fate covering him, making him do these things at this stage, and being such a ghost, he becomes another ghost at another stage. into that.He can't say whether he likes or dislikes it, but every time this impression emerges, his mood will be very depressed.

Now Yu Yiqin hooked up the deja vu deja vu, He Shi hid his thoughts and said: "No, but I haven't searched for this before, I will go back and search for you, and call you if there is any result."

Yu Yiqin solemnly apologized to him, thanked him and went back to the Alien Prevention Office.

Nothing here has made any progress, but Huang Xing has gone out to the provincial ministry to pick up the trial equipment of the newly developed magic energy tracker.

Chi Yan interrogated Wuzheng again in the afternoon, and Wuzheng became haggard a lot. He was often absent-minded when facing questioning, and his head seemed to still hurt badly.

In the afternoon, Gu Chunxiao called, with the intention of chatting, but when he heard that Du Hanzhang was gone, he couldn't care less about jealousy, so he came over in a hurry, and then comforted Yu Yiqin through the protective glass, and Du Hanzhang ordered Big, nothing will happen.

Yu Yiqin listened to it, but couldn't calm down. He asked Gu Chunxiao to go to the mountains to avoid the limelight, but Gu Chunxiao refused to go, and became a mule.

"I'm not going. Didn't you say that Chunyu is in the cauldron? I want to be here! I want to wait for him to come out. Trust me, my relatives. I will be the first to escape in case of danger. I won't hold you back." .”

Yu Yiqin looked past her, looked at the younger brother behind her and said, "She's waiting for her dad here, how about you?"

Lu Tao was completely seduced by Gu Chunxiao's leaked secrets. He realized that he was a ghost, so his courage grew by leaps and bounds, and he was very fearless: "I'll wait for my boss."

But his courage couldn't protect him, so Yu Yiqin called Chi Yan and took them back to the office one by one.

After the people left, he thought about the tripod in the quiet basement, whether he should take a gamble, and try putting the tripod and Wuzheng together.

Before dinner, Huang Xing came back with his things. He had a meeting with all the teams in the office. During the meeting, the instruments were distributed, and he entered each area to start looking for the hidden magic energy.

Yu Yiqin waited outside the conference room. As soon as the people leaving the meeting went out, he went in retrogradely and shared his thoughts with Huang Xing.

Huang Xing agreed in his heart, but he couldn't make up his mind. The two went to find Sha'an. Sha'an was silent for a while, went out with his mobile phone and made a call, and then came in and said, "I asked the provincial department to borrow two defense systems." people, when they arrive, you can start again."

Then we waited until night fell, and at 7:[-], someone rang the prison.The door of the listening room is a middle-aged woman and a boy who looks like a high school student.

The people from the provincial department were more efficient than those below, and the two of them were in place quickly. Yu Yiqin received a call from Huang Chen and went to the interrogation room with the tripod.

But the mutation they expected did not appear this time.

The people from the provincial department may have come here for nothing, but there was no impatience on the other party's face, but Huang Xing felt sorry for it, and ordered two glasses of water to be brought outside.

All the people from the anti-transformation office went out to search for the demons, and there were not many people left in the office. Because Chi Yan couldn't leave, he gave Lu Tao a go.

Lu Tao was also easy to talk, took the water and sent it to the interrogation room. Yu Yiqin sat close to the door, saw him come in and leaned over to catch the water, who knew he just turned around, when suddenly a dark wind picked up behind him, and passed him swiftly, sweeping the water away. He turned to Lu Tao who was standing at the door.

-

On the side of the sub-bureau, since Yu Yiqin came, He Shi had an ominous premonition in his mind, and after thinking about it, he couldn't get around the idea that Yu Yiqin's ghost clan was a fake.

He stayed in this restless mood until nine o'clock at night, and finally decided to go back to Youdu immediately.

This point indicates that there are not many ghosts at the junction of the ghost world, because the night is not deep enough, and it is the time when the night market in the world is bustling. The mouth of the well was suddenly closed for unknown reasons.

He Shi turned around and walked towards the station office, ready to ask the management staff for the detailed reason, but he just knocked on the door of the duty room, and the junction hall suddenly shook violently.

The door in front of him began to distort rapidly. He Shi knocked on the deformed door leaf with one hand, and his whole body felt like being pulled in. He was startled, and immediately withdrew his hands, but it was still too late.

The pulling force was so strong that he couldn't withdraw his hand, he could only resist being pulled in.

Behind him, distorted air and objects were everywhere in the hall, and in the depths of the vortexes that suddenly appeared one after another, the black magic energy seemed to be a big gaping mouth.

He Shi's vortex is naturally there, he was taken aback, thinking how could there be a tricky formation made of demonic energy at the gate of their Youdu?

This scene made him shudder. He didn't know whether he was frightened or turned by this vortex with an astonishing speed. He lost consciousness for a short time. When his sanity returned, He Shi was in a severe pain of being torn apart by the wind knife. A familiar voice was heard.

"...I have to praise you, both of you are good opponents, a little patriarch who hides from the world, has not been able to refine you for 1000 years, and another prefect of the human race with a mortal body not only took away a few of my Original spiritual energy can still force my original form in this cauldron. But your victory should stop here. As the saying goes, Huiji will be hurt. After thousands of years of my management, I dare not spare your lives.

You two, have a good journey..."
