Abyss Express

You can't ride a wolf to an unknown place, you have to walk to the nearest light source, and it's still more than an hour away. Meteor had nothing to do on the way, so he chatted with Ping An.

"Brother Ping An, are you a metaphysicist?"

Ping An replied: "Well, but I still want to persuade you to believe in science. Science is the most powerful Taoism in this era."

"Taoism?"

"Tao is the law, the flight path of the plane, the railroad track of the train, and the law of the operation of all things. The most powerful Taoism in today's society is science-the constant pursuit of truth, getting closer and closer to the truth, isn't it scientific falsification The process, then I, a real person, who cultivates the truth and discusses the Tao, should be the most scientific and reasonable person.”

"Oh, so that's what it means. Brother Pingan, you are really educated. You cultural people always talk about things in a roundabout way. It seems that one word can be interpreted into many meanings."

"I'm not smart, and I don't have much culture, so I seem long-winded." Luo Ping'an's tone became serious: "All the smart geniuses in the world like concise and powerful formats."

"Oh? There is such a saying?"

"Simple things are solid, the strongest structure is a triangle, the shortest distance is a straight line, the wheel is round, the house is square, happiness is eating, drinking, and sleeping, and you will gain something from your labor—but when it is complicated, Not necessarily good."

"Um"

"Little brother, you are the one with great wisdom. You don't need to read a lot of books to understand a lot of truths. You know the difference between good and evil. You are a genius."

Ping An walked forward cautiously, and said at the same time.

"When people have complicated pursuits, they start to worry. For example, they can be happy when they are full, but then they not only want to be full, but also eat in a variety of ways, such as sweet, sour, bitter, spicy, salty, and everything. The delicate and delicious food is eaten all over the world. So one day I can’t eat it, and I start to worry. I used to be happy when I was full, but now it has become a luxury.”

"When a person reads a book, the person is happy at the beginning, but as time goes by, he finds that other books are more and more boring, and can no longer compare with a certain story he has read before - that person mistakenly thinks it is My cultural level has improved, my aesthetics have become stronger, my desires have become complicated, bizarre and outrageous, I think this is not [gaining], but [losing].”

"For example, children in the industrialized age are unwilling to marry and have children, but people in primitive society have a very strong desire to have children. At that time, people's lives were very simple and barbaric. The cost of raising a child was very low. The death rate is also very high, but some people still do it—for this era, it is a strange phenomenon.”

"Are we worse off than the blood-drinking beasts? Is the risk of giving birth higher than in the Stone Age? Isn't it?"

"So simplicity is a genius, and being able to make complicated things simple is a genius among geniuses, and I have to spend so many words to explain these things. I am just a mediocre person who engages in metaphysics, and I am not even a science—because Science helps people solve problems, metaphysics creates problems for people.”

"After listening to my words, you may have more questions in your heart, but I can't give you the answer. This is the greatest sorrow for those of us who engage in metaphysics—like the Internet, many self-media do the same thing. See It sounds like knowledge sharing, but it’s actually all about earning money from metaphysics, so I’m going to do it too.”

Meteor laughed and didn't take Daoist Chang's words to heart - he just thought Brother Pingan was very interesting, so he asked again.

"Brother Ping An! Is there really reincarnation in the world?"

Luo Pingan immediately said: "There must be."

Meteor: "How are you sure there is?"

Luo Ping'an: "History is in circles, like reincarnation, and the stars change again and again. The earth revolves around the sun, and the sun revolves around bigger stars. The stars are all turning in galaxies. I don't think all creatures can escape. This level."

Bu Meteor: "Oh"

Luo Pingan: "More than 50 tons of cosmic dust fly to the earth every year. Besides, we are all made up of the matter on the earth, and matter is immortal."

Saying so--

——Luo Pingan took a deep breath, like adjusting his breath after a long journey.

"What will people become after death? Soil and water, mountains and rivers, go back into the bodies of animals, go around in a big circle, and after many, many years, will they return to people? No matter how many years later , I think at that time, we must have turned into human forms, but things after reincarnation are not something we can manage now."

"There are trillions of creatures in the world, all tumbling in the material world. The geology and life forms of the earth are constantly changing, but they remain the same—I think this is reincarnation."

"Don't talk about technology and hard work, little brother, there is a point of view about reincarnation that I, Luo Pingan, don't want to accept."

Meteor: "Oh? Brother Pingan, what do you say?"

"If you do good deeds in this life, you will be rewarded in the next life." Luo Ping'an said slowly, "I don't agree with this matter, what do you think—"

"——The good deeds done in this life will be rewarded in the next life. How complicated and hateful the bad people are, they will say such deceitful words. I just like the rewards in this world, and I wish I could get good rewards immediately after doing good deeds." .Once this thing gets complicated, there will be no good results, right?"

Meteor: "Yes! Yes!"

"How many people don't do good deeds because they can't see good rewards in this life?" Luo Pingan said: "If everything has rewards in this world, there will be no such complicated human feelings, and there will not be so many ghosts and monsters."

Meteor remembered the corpse he saw on the ledge at the tunnel entrance—

——The corpse has not rotted and decayed, and it will not emit a bad smell after more than 50 years. It is really strange, so he asked curiously.

"Brother Pingan, you said that the corpse has a demonic aura, why?"

"It's not that the corpse has a demonic aura." Taoist Ping'an explained unhurriedly: "Not to mention zombies, which are things in legends of gods and monsters, they are said to scare children, and they are the talk of adults after dinner. -"

"—And the corpse we saw was dead with eyes closed and will never be reborn forever. For more than fifty years, no animals have been eaten, and it has not been crushed by the power of nature. I know that some people are willing to eat the mummies of Egyptian pharaohs, and they are also used as health medicines. This corpse can be kept for such a long time, there must be very powerful demons."

"I think it will be the same after I die. What a cruel capital punishment. The person who executed this corpse must have turned into a demon."

"It is to cast me, a living person, into an immortal image-I am no longer me, but a monument. People will make monuments for people worth remembering, no matter whether that person is good or bad, Whether it is great or despicable, we all hope that this monument will become a history book."

"However, using human flesh as a stele is probably not a good thing. It's like using his bones as a tomb to keep the ugly appearance before death in the world forever. Even the sinner Qin Hui, who has been a sinner through the ages, does not have this kind of treatment - he can do it. People who do this kind of thing have lost their humanity and become devils."

Meteor nodded and asked.

"Brother Ping An, I study in the secret library, and I also know that there is such a group of people in the underground world. They are immortal. Like you, they have formed an alliance of immortals. There are very few records about these people. Curious what happened."

"Eternal life? There is no eternal life, but eternal death." Luo Pingan immediately said, "I ask you, little brother, if you live forever, do you think you are happy or unfortunate?"

Meteor immediately said: "Of course I'm happy! I thought about it too! If I never die, I can read many, many books!"

Ping An immediately replied: "There are endless books in the world, and no one can finish reading them. Not to mention the information explosion in the Internet age, even if you were thrown into the Qing Dynasty, you would not be able to finish reading these books. The speed of reading is Limited, but people create knowledge faster and faster."

Meteor went on to say: "Then I can play games in the world!"

Pingan continued to answer: "Playing games in the human world will be finished soon. The game can't escape the lust and wealth. It seems that there is no birth, old age, sickness and death. When it can't play well, it will die."

Meteor: "I can have many, many children!"

Ping An: "One or two children can still be called babies. In ancient times, the emperor who gave birth to more than a dozen children was the most cruel to children. Do you think he cares about his descendants? If you have more children, let the people on the whole earth, They will all become your descendants, and they will fight and kill each other."

Meteor: "Then I... I'll come out and stop them!"

Ping An: "But why do they listen to you?"

Meteor: "I"

"So." Ping An sneered: "There is no such thing as eternal life, it's just a puppet of power, it's eternal death."

Ping An changed his tone and became calm.

"It is said that the end of the road to comprehension is longevity, changing one's life against the sky, and fighting against the sky for one's life, but once the human body is locked up, I feel that the devil of nothingness is chasing me all the time—I have to pursue the meaning of life all the time, so as not to lose my life." As for becoming a devil. After all, I am already a real person, and I may no longer be able to become gold, stones, plants, birds, animals, mountains, rivers, seas, sun, moon and stars. I have to cultivate humanity, do human affairs, and live my life."

Meteor was thoughtful and no longer took the initiative to ask questions. He just remembered what Mr. Victor said back then—life is by no means a journey from hot-blooded to cold-blooded.

Like Teacher Victor, Luo Ping'an has similar but different answers to immortality.

These two immortals have their own way to stay young forever.

Bu Meteor didn't speak, but Luo Ping'an suddenly spoke.

"I'm sorry, people talk too much when they're old, I shouldn't talk about these things with you, little brother - young people are always full of vigor, if it makes you uncomfortable, it's the fault of the poor."

Bu Meteor: "Haha! Brother Pingan, you don't understand me now! I have to walk my own way! I won't listen to your gossip!"

"Of course it's good! Good!" Luo Ping'an said immediately, "The Qian Gua will have no leader, and everyone will become a dragon. It's auspicious. It's great that you think so."

Follow the railroad, out of the Howling Ridge range.

There are more and more billboards along the way, and there are also modern urban landscapes.

However, it is worth noting that Meteor discovered a strange phenomenon——

"—Brother Ping An! Why...why are the female stars on these billboards the same person?"

All the way out from the Howling Ridge Tunnel, near the wilderness around Shiqiu County Town, the billboards on the road all have the same image and the same face.

It's just that the products endorsed by the actress are varied, ranging from household appliances to agricultural products and tools, IT digital food and clothing.

Luo Pingan took a closer look, and the flashlight shone through. On the six-meter-high lamp stand, the faces of the female stars in the billboards were illuminated eeriely by the lights, and their smiles became weird and bizarre.

Meteor was taken aback. At first glance, he didn't feel anything at all. Under the light of the underworld, he felt that the actress's smile was so pervasive, but it felt familiar. There is also this smile.

It was a deliberate performance, like aggressive mimicry, a smiling face of working overtime to deal with bosses and colleagues.

Luo Pingan said: "Oh! This sister is called Matsushima Seiko! I know it!"

"You know him?" Bu Liuxing was stunned. He didn't expect that Daoist Ping'an was still a boy in the rice circle, and he was obsessed with Japanese and Korean sisters.

Luo Ping'an: "Not only did I know each other, but I also had a relationship. In 1982, I went to her concert."

Bu Meteor: "Huh?"

Luo Ping'an: "She made her debut in 1980 and attracted much attention with the single "The Season of Bare Feet". The sales record for a first single is unbeatable."

Meteor: "Huh?"

Luo Pingan said without blushing.

"I am an old fan of her. As for why I like it, it is also "The Season of Bare Feet". As a person who travels thousands of miles, I have to travel many, many places in the world with my feet, so I was attracted by the title——Later It's out of control."

Meteor: "Huh?"

"Ah, what?" Luo Pingan tilted his head with a puzzled face, "Do you think that real people don't eat fireworks? Besides, my legs are off the ground. Yuan, how do you act like a real person? How do you seek the Tao?"

"That's right." Meteor pondered whether the Daoist's words were rough or not: "Then you now."

Luo Ping'an interrupted: "I'm chasing Stefanie Sun. She hasn't had a new album in the past two years, but I still like it very much, and she hasn't collapsed her house!"

"Good guy" Meteor didn't know what to say.

"Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu~" Brother Hei seemed to understand it, and the wolf language meteor could understand it. This sentence is Brother Hei lamenting Mr. Ping'an's morality and deeds.

After fifteen minutes, the two and one wolf finally came to the front of a complex of buildings.

This is where the light source is located, and it is the only bright place within several kilometers.

But what Meteor didn't expect was that this was not a town in the underworld, but a place in the underworld.

The entrance of the building complex is ornately decorated, and it has the noble and western style of Little Europe. Why is it called Little Europe? For example, the European town built by Huawei on the border of Dongguan has this style. The inner courtyard is European-style, and the same is true for the courtyard walls and castle towers.

It is said to be the underworld, because beside the street sign in Shiqiu Town, there is a description of the function of the building at the gate of this building complex.

Luo Pingan: "Good guy!"

Bu Meteor: "Good guy!"

Both of them stared at each other in surprise.

Bu Meteor: "Brother Ping An! We've been walking for so long! The only place with light is a cemetery!"

Luo Ping'an: "The name of this tomb is the song title of Seiko Matsushima!"

Bu Meteor: "Is this the point! Brother Ping An! Be sober!"

"Oh! Oh oh oh" Ping An came back to his senses: "Seeing this situation, I sighed in my heart, if there is such a cemetery in the mortal world called [Love in BC], or [Chapter Seven of the Night] , I think you will too"

Bu Meteor: "Good guy! I've realized it! Feelings require Yin soldiers to be on the list for idols, right?"

Seeing this strange scene, Meteor exploded his Lezi people's genes, and prepared to see the cemetery in this old era with tides and flowing water. After all, there is the only light source with a radius of several kilometers.

Walking in along the light, crossing the unmanned sentry box and the railing of the parking lot, and walking to the edge of the first tomb, Meteor felt that something was wrong.

"Wait! Brother Pingan! Why is there no writing on the tombstone?!"

Luo Ping'an stopped to take a closer look. There was no writing or indentation on the tombstone of the cement tomb. The two walked in to have a look.

Suddenly the tombstone lights up—

——It seems that the 32-bit pixel screen of the previous era was powered on again, and a cartoon portrait was illuminated from it, and the style of painting was similar to that of Super Mario Contra.

Meteor: "Good guy!"

Ping An: "Good guy!"

Brother Hei turned around and ran towards the exit of the cemetery, and stopped when he reached the intersection. The dog looked terrified, and hugged the pillar of the wall next to the cemetery to urinate.

The cartoon figure blinked, as if he could see the two uninvited guests and speak fluent Japanese.

"Are you my descendants? Are you here to visit the grave? Sorry, I have to watch the 15-second commercial first!~"
