American Celestial Master

Chapter 12, Nightmare

"Beyond the Three Realms, not in the Five Elements! The 'Three Realms' is our world, and the 'Five Elements' are the material basis of our world. 'Outside the Three Realms' does not mean that Dongtian is another world independent of the world. 'Not in the five elements', doesn't it mean that the matter that makes up the cave is actually not the matter of our world. Because it is not the matter of our world, the physical rules of our world cannot act on it. It has mass, But there's no gravity..."

Lin Qiusheng was trembling with excitement, it was the first time that the gate of longevity was clearly displayed in front of him.

"Like Dongyue Shangqing Siming Zhenjun, his own way of existence is also very strange. He can pass through any obstacles directly, and can fly into the sky and escape from the ground. This is actually not surprising, because he himself is no longer composed of the material of this world. Now, many rules are no longer applicable to him - he is a god who is 'not in the five elements'..."

"Daozhang Lin? Daozhang Lin? Are you okay?" Fat Boy Liu's voice sounded next to his ear, interrupting Lin Qiusheng's thinking.

"No, I'm fine." Lin Qiusheng said with a sigh of relief, "Xiao Liu, pack a bag for me. I've thought of something and I need to go back and deal with it."

"It's fine, it's fine." Fat Boy Liu said again, "Are you really okay, Daoist? Just now...you broke the chopsticks in your hand. I thought you had gone crazy after practicing kung fu."

Lin Qiusheng looked down, only to find that there were two ebony chopsticks that had been broken into two pieces. The places where the chopsticks were broken were all crushed sawdust.

"I'm really fine." Lin Qiusheng said, "How much the chopsticks cost is included in the bill."

"No need, Daoist Lin, you are our regular customer. What are two chopsticks? If I put this in the bill, the boss will kick me to the street to sleep in the bridge hole? Daoist, are you serious?" You have real skills, these chopsticks are pinched with your fingers, and they are made like this! I have to take these chopsticks back and brag to others." Fatty Liu replied with a smile on his face while swiftly putting away the plate and chopsticks road.

Lin Qiusheng didn't intend to stop Fat Boy Liu's plan to use the chopsticks to brag to others, because it was almost a free advertisement for him.In matters of Taoism, "law, wealth and land" are indispensable.But now, Lin Qiusheng has obtained the law, and he can summon the avatar of Dongyue Shangqing Siming Zhenjun. He barely has a "mate", but the latter two have not yet been found.Especially "wealth".

Lin Qiusheng originally thought that if he made a framework first, and then rented a supercomputer to run it for a month, he should be able to get a basic result.

However, after a period of "retreat", Lin Qiusheng discovered that the issues involved were too complicated, and running for a month probably wasn't enough.More importantly, because there are too many guesses, most of the results are unsuccessful, and then I have to re-adjust the model, rent the supercomputer again, and pay the money again.Going down like this is almost a bottomless pit.

"Besides, those guys from the FBI may still be watching me. Otherwise, I would rent a supercomputer in China, which would be much cheaper in terms of price. It's a pity that domestic competition is too fierce and too complicated." Considering the future Lin Qiusheng even wanted to go back to China because of the expenses.

"Lin Daochang, this is your white chicken." Just as Lin Qiusheng was thinking about how much money he still had to earn and how to use it efficiently, Fatty Liu came over with the packed white chicken up.

"I'm sorry to trouble you." Lin Qiusheng took out his credit card, paid the bill, and went out with the white chopped chicken amid Fat Boy Liu's polite voice, and called a taxi back to his residence.

As soon as he entered the door, Lin Qiusheng threw the white chicken on the table and rushed into the study.

After spending some time adding his new ideas into the model, Lin Qiusheng looked at the current mathematical model with satisfaction. At least it looked more perfect than the previous one.

"The possibility of success in the supercomputing simulation has increased a bit. At least one or two calculations can be saved. This saves a lot of money." Lin Qiusheng thought with relief, got up by the way, stretched After a lazy waist, I realized that I seem to be a little hungry now.Then I went out of the study and prepared to go to the kitchen to make a bowl of instant noodles for myself as a habit.

After leaving the study room, he saw the white chicken on the table in the living room. Lin Qiusheng thought for a while before realizing that he had gone outside to buy the white chicken.It can be seen that the impact of high-intensity mental work on cognitive ability is still obvious.

Thinking of the fact that he bought the chicken, Lin Qiusheng also remembered that he didn't seem to tip Fat Boy Liu.Giving tips when receiving services is an American characteristic, and Lin Qiusheng was not used to it when he first came from China.But now he was already used to it, but this time he was too excited and forgot about it.

"If you want to say what Fat Boy Liu said, it helped me a lot, even if it was unintentional, it also helped me." Lin Qiusheng opened the package and began to eat, thinking this way, "Even if it's nothing else, It’s a lot of money just to save me renting a supercomputer. It’s a pity that Fat Boy Liu is too old-fashioned, and he can’t even play with a smart phone. It's inconvenient, if I make a special call to send him a tip... Forget it, the fare is more than the tip. Or, go to his place tomorrow and give it to him again."

Lin Qiusheng was thinking this while eating, but the phone in his pocket vibrated.

He took out his mobile phone and saw that it was Zhang Feng calling.Lin Qiusheng frowned and connected the phone.

"Ah Feng, what's the matter?"

It has not been a month yet, Zhang Feng knows that he is "retreating", if there is nothing wrong, he will definitely not call himself.

"Master, I seem to have messed with something." Zhang Feng's voice came from the phone.

As soon as Lin Qiusheng heard this, he knew that Zhang Feng must be taking advantage of his "retreat", so he ran out to do private work.In fact, Lin Qiusheng has no objection to Zhang Feng's private work, after all, it's about making money, who doesn't like money?
"What's the situation?" Lin Qiusheng asked.

"Master, it's like this. I have a friend whose wife always has nightmares. Let me go and have a look. We have seen the situation he said before, so I went, and set up according to our method last time. I set up an incense table, invited the portrait of the patriarch, and then burned incense, turned talismans, and chanted mantras. Not only did it not work, but even I had nightmares. Master, what's going on..." The phone came out Zhang Feng's anxious voice.

After hearing this, Lin Qiusheng was not in a hurry. It was just a nightmare, and generally speaking, there would be no immediate and immediate danger.As for the reason why Zhang Feng's method failed, Lin Qiusheng actually understood it.Zhang Feng hung up the portrait of the patriarch, and then "burned incense, transformed talismans, and chanted mantras", which was actually to attract the attention of the patriarch and borrow the power of the patriarch.It's just that Zhang Feng doesn't know that the patriarch is also in retreat.

Every time Lin Qiusheng and the others practiced the method, the portrait of the patriarch that hung up was actually the portrait of Dongyue Shangqing Siming Zhenjun.Although this old Taoist did not admit that Lin Qiusheng and the others were his disciples, but every time Lin Qiusheng only borrowed a little bit of power for his practice, he still gave it very simply.It's just that after getting the fragments of the Kingdom of God this time, Dongyue Shangqing Siming Zhenjun also went to retreat, and he really did retreat. No matter how Zhang Feng burns incense, transforms talismans, and recites mantras, it's all useless, so naturally it's nothing It works, but it may cause something to happen instead.

However, Lin Qiusheng was not too worried about such things. He could only use nightmares to interfere with people's things. They were either very weak, or they were in a special state and could not reveal any power.But not being able to reveal power is not much different from having no power.So Lin Qiusheng first comforted Zhang Feng a few words, and then asked, "Ah Feng, where are you now? If it's convenient, come here and let me see the situation."

"Master, I'm over there in Chinatown, I'll come right over," Zhang Feng said.

"Oh, then you can drop by and help me go to 'Not Tired of Fine' first, and give ten dollars to the fat waiter Liu. I just ordered a white fried chicken at his place, and I forgot to tip him. In addition, you put me Tell him his mobile phone number, tell him, what he said just now awakened me, it is of great help to my practice, but this help is not easy to repay with money, if he has anything in the future, he wants me to help Yes, just tell me." Lin Qiusheng hung up the phone after explaining the matter.

After more than an hour, there was a knock on the door outside.Lin Qiusheng went to open the door, only to see Zhang Feng standing outside with a worried face.

Lin Qiusheng looked at Zhang Feng's expression first, well, it was the same as he estimated before, so it shouldn't be a big problem.So he said, "Come in."

"Hey." Zhang Feng responded and entered the room.

"Find a place to sit down by yourself. If you want to drink water, pour it yourself." Lin Qiusheng sat down on the big sofa by himself.

Zhang Feng then sat down on the sofa next to him, and asked rather anxiously: "Master, is this matter all right?"

Lin Qiusheng didn't pick up on this, but asked first: "I told you to bring the tip to Fat Boy Liu? Did you bring the tip as well?"

"Master, here it is. Fat Boy Liu also said that Master, you are too polite. If you want me to say, Master, your business is really good, but you are better than others! Fat Boy Liu is famous for his big mouth, and he likes to brag everywhere. Master You broke the chopsticks in front of him, and made such a move again. Fatty Liu has not been blowing about it everywhere, saying that the gods who "jumped out of the three realms and are not in the five elements" owe him favors. This is free advertising .”

"Ah? Still have this effect?" Hearing Zhang Feng's words, Lin Qiusheng was taken aback for a moment, and then immediately realized that there seemed to be a problem with his current intelligence level, because he really didn't expect such a simple thing before.

"It's like this after high-intensity mental work." Lin Qiusheng comforted himself, and then said, "Ah Feng, you have grown up recently, and you dare to take the list of exorcising evil spirits."

Zhang Feng smiled embarrassedly and said: "Master, when you dealt with similar things last time, you said that I can do such a simple thing myself, so this time I have the courage to try it myself. If you know it, there will be a problem. Master, I still haven’t figured out exactly which step caused the problem.”

"You didn't go wrong at any step." Lin Qiusheng didn't hide this from his apprentices about such matters, "It's just that the Patriarch is in retreat. In the next ten years, it is estimated that this method will not have any effect But don't worry, even without the help of the patriarch, it's not difficult to deal with this kind of small problem. Well, first tell me about your friend who asked you to exorcise evil spirits, and the content of the nightmare you had. "

"Well, Master, it's like this..."

According to Zhang Feng, his friend's wife is a female doctor. She visited a friend in a small town near Antietam and started having nightmares after returning.And the content of her nightmare, at least at the beginning, was very similar to Zhang Feng's nightmare:
"I dreamed that I was in a forest. The forest was gloomy, and there was fog everywhere. I couldn't see far away, and the surrounding was very quiet. There was no sound. Occasionally, I could see one or two birds perched on the branches, but They were all motionless, neither flying nor screaming, like specimens that had been placed on the branches.

Then I heard the sound of horseshoes behind me, but when I turned around, there was nothing behind me, and the sound of horseshoes disappeared.Then I turned my head back, and the hoofbeats came from behind me again, and more distinctly.I turned around again, and then the sound disappeared again, and there was nothing in the fog, not even a sound.

I didn't look back at all, and stared at the direction from which the sound of horse's hooves came.Then, after a while, I heard the sound of horseshoes coming from behind me again, and it was closer, and then I woke up suddenly. "

"Well, this dream can explain a lot of things. Ah Feng, you have been studying with me for more than half a year. Tell me about the things in this dream yourself." Lin Qiusheng said this while throwing it into his mouth. Entered a pistachio.Just now, while Zhang Feng was talking about his dream, Lin Qiusheng took out snacks from the coffee table drawer and ate them.

Lin Qiusheng really likes to eat some snacks when he is relaxing, especially likes to hold all kinds of nuts and chew.But he actually has another purpose in doing this now, which is to make Zhang Feng relax and make him feel that this matter is not a big deal, which will help solve the problem more.

Zhang Feng had obviously thought about this question, so when Lin Qiusheng asked, he immediately replied: "Master, you said that there are many ghosts and monsters that scare people because of their limited power. If a person He has a lot of courage, so as the old saying goes, he has a lot of firepower, and ordinary ghosts can't get around at all, let alone cause trouble. Therefore, ghosts and so on must first use various methods to scare people, Once people are afraid, their courage will weaken, and it will be easier for them to attack."

Lin Qiusheng nodded and said, "You shouldn't have nightmares after exorcism; you should have nightmares after you found out that the exorcism didn't work, right?"

Zhang Feng nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, master, you really see things very clearly."

"Stop talking nonsense like that." Lin Qiusheng shook his head and said, "You found out that the exorcism didn't work, and even his condition became more serious. As a result, you became a little scared, and then you showed your flaws. Your friend's wife is now How is the situation? Has it developed to sleepwalking?"

"It was her sleepwalking that scared me." Zhang Feng replied.

"That's it." Lin Qiusheng nodded and said, "You can sleep with me tonight, and if you dream about anything, tell me when you wake up. We will visit your friend early tomorrow morning and take your Pick up the signboard that I smashed. Well, before they came to you, didn't they try other means?"

"Of course. They have seen a psychiatrist, but it is useless. They have also been to church, but it is useless. Finally, they found me when they had no choice. In fact, they wanted to ask Master to go through me at first... Master, if you go, what about the fees?" Zhang Feng asked again.

"Since it's me, of course I have to pay my price." Lin Qiusheng raised his eyebrows and said, "Anyway, she's a doctor. By the way, what does your friend do?"

"It's a lawyer." Zhang Feng replied.

"Ah, then they all have money. Let's add another [-]% to my original price. After all, this interrupted my retreat, so I need a higher compensation." Lin Qiusheng said.
