In Wu Ling's words, no one knows whether there was an original "god" in this world. The original "god" was, as in myths and legends, a special kind of being that was different from humans and other life forms on earth. Whether it is a living thing or a spirit produced by the gathering of human thoughts cannot be explored.

Excluding that unverifiable past, the history of supernatural beings can be roughly divided into three stages.

"No one knows who the first person, or thing, to do this was. This history is actually vague. Only some recorded texts show that there was a being who discovered the method of reincarnation. The secret, the underworld and the ghosts, and then the existence of God in this world. The so-called supernatural, at that stage, is the conflict between the living person and the underworld, reincarnation, and possibly God. It lasted for a long time, but the momentum was not huge. At that stage, from a scientific point of view, the development of civilization was still at a very early stage. What more people pursued was to survive today and live longer than eternal life. Tomorrow, the issue of survival will be the first issue to be paid attention to, and until now, there are still some people who are fanciful in their pursuit of immortality, trying to realize this dream,” Wu Ling said, “So, this stage is very long. But most importantly as with all supernatural matters, this is when the underworld and reincarnation were discovered.”

I nodded and listened carefully.

"The second stage is when ghosts appear." Wu Ling continued, suddenly changing the topic, "Before this, monsters and spirits have always existed. They were rare in number. They were more like beasts and could be killed by ordinary people. , and have not been classified as supernatural events.”

I thought of Mo Wen.

Wu Ling said: "Ghosts are something that truly belongs to the supernatural category. The ghosts that first appeared were more like a special form of newborns, with slow thinking and blurred consciousness. It takes a while to recover, and may never recover. , evolved a new personality and became another life form. So, at the beginning, the ghosts and the living people coexisted peacefully, but I don’t know when the two began to conflict. The result was that the living people could not see the ghosts. , it is impossible to deal with ghosts, and being killed or killed happens in an instant. Therefore, living people who can see ghosts begin to take on the task of exorcising ghosts. This is also the earliest source of the emergence of sects and families. "

Wu Ling sighed, "That period was also when these families, sects, and all supernatural-related forces were at their most prosperous. There were also many ghosts, almost out of control. Some people believed that at that time, there were people coming out of the underworld. There was a problem with the original reincarnation. The soul should enter the underworld immediately after death, stay in the human world, and become a ghost. But at that time, no one knew how to deal with this matter, so they could only think of a way. Eliminate the rebellious ghosts. After a period of chaos, the underworld seems to have returned to normal. The number of ghosts has dropped sharply, but it still exists. At the same time, people like us have begun to appear. "

I was a little confused, "So, superpowers didn't exist from the beginning?"

"No. The initial research and exploration of supernatural events was similar to today's science, with tools, methods, and theories. If you want to obtain Yin and Yang Eyes, you also need to complete a series of exercises, prepare all raw materials, and configure special equipment. Solution, or eye drops, has a certain chance of successfully opening the eyes. Later, it became different. Ordinary people who encountered ghosts began to see ghosts and automatically opened their yin and yang eyes. Some people were born with special abilities. , or acquired special abilities. In addition, those monsters and spirits also changed. They were no longer in the state of beasts, and the direction of change was almost at this time. The spirit appeared."

Wu Ling explained: "The worship of primitive phenomena has existed since ancient times. Images such as the god of thunder, the god of wind, and the god of rivers can be found in various civilizations. However, at that time, these beliefs were only primitive beliefs. . At this stage, some people gradually discovered the true existence of the spirit, and that the spirit is some kind of... existence with self-will and action. "

I was fascinated by it, as if I had witnessed a magnificent history. Of course, this must be a very tragic history.

"The fourth stage was forty or fifty years ago, or maybe earlier. This is what Master Xuan Qing told me. It's unclear which senior in the circle discovered it. In short, we discovered it. A group of special souls. They were originally ghosts, but for some reason, they entered reincarnation and became humans," Wu Ling said.

I subconsciously looked at Chen Yihan and Chen Xiaoqiu.

Is Wu Ling talking about them? Was this the previous suspicion?

"Before this, ghosts were existences similar to God's clones. They had no independent thinking and acted according to the rules. Their abilities were far inferior to those of God. They might just be a group of machines created by God. They also had no communication with living people or ghosts. But starting from forty or fifty years ago, this situation gradually changed. Living people can become ghosts after entering the underworld, and ghosts can also enter reincarnation and be reincarnated into living people. We still don't know the cause of this change. , we have to wait for this first batch, maybe two or three batches of souls to go through reincarnation before we can make a judgment."

"Is this...a good thing?" I asked hesitantly.

Wu Ling shook his head seriously, "I don't know. But judging from the previous changes, the result of each change is that God and the world are deteriorating. Maybe it is crazy and makes crazy moves, maybe it wants to stop It’s a bad situation, but the solutions it comes up with make it even worse.”

This is probably like the foolish king above his head giving random orders?

I'm a little speechless.

Chen Yihan was very sober and asked: "How do you judge that we may be ghosts reincarnated into living people?"

"Because of the righteousness in you. People like us should not have righteousness in us. We are all guilty." Wu Ling said calmly.

Chen Yihan didn't pay attention and continued to ask: "So, if it is a ghost reincarnation, what will be the difference?"

"I don't know. There are too few samples to draw conclusions. Master Xuan Qing and the others have not been able to find a complete sample until now. Two or three people like you have been discovered before. The final outcome is different from ours. Most of these people died in misfortunes. But what happens to the soul after entering the underworld is still unclear. Some people have asked the ghosts, but they can't tell. The current conclusion is that it is crazy. It's completely out of control. This can be seen from the current situation. The situation is getting worse. Even if it is not crazy, it is no longer able to control the world."

When Wu Ling said this, he was very calm, as if he was not talking about the collapse of the entire world, but that a convenience store on the street was about to close down.
