No matter how gentle the dog is, it will inevitably appear on a certain night in the yard, facing the empty street and barking wildly. Whether you raise a pet dog or a native dog, I think many people have had such an experience. The owner often thinks that this dog is being foolish, but it's not. It's just reminding you that it saw danger, only that the danger is invisible to you. Their sensitivity to smells and sounds far exceeds that of humans, and dogs also have a pair of yin-yang eyes by nature. Don't be skeptical about this, because anyone who has raised a dog will have had such an experience.
So when Daidai appeared abnormal, everyone started to get nervous, including Mr. Gu. I believe this old man who is proficient in Chinese mysticism must understand what signal this is. I quickly got up and closed the door, sticking to the gap to look outside.
"Shh... keep it quiet," I said to Ye Qiu, who bent down and patted the dog's back a few times. The dog seemed to be slightly better. Outside was pitch black, this wasn't a village or a street, don't expect there to be any streetlights. Inside, there was only a pile of fire still burning. If it were zombies or something like that, I would have trusted the gun in my hand. So I slowly raised the Five-Six rifle to the door gap.
This Taoist temple only has this one gate at the front and back, with a window on each side. The windows are traditional wooden lattice ones, which originally had paper on them, but now they're full of holes everywhere. Ye Qiu was behind me, while Cha Wenbin was observing from various places, when suddenly I heard a "crack" sound coming from my left...
That was the window's position, Ye Qiu's reaction was the fastest, he took a step ahead, his hand holding Han Yue had already made a move, just lifting his hand and swinging it, "Whoosh" a gust of wind started, that window lightly moved, I was about to push the door out, but he calmly said: "Already left."
Outside the door was a quiet black night, and the forest also had some mountain wind that made people feel a bit chilly. I tiptoed around with a flashlight in my hand, scanning every inch of land, which was all so pale. Occasionally, there were a few "hooting" bird calls in this eerie Taoist temple at night, which didn't sound very peaceful either.
Cha Wenbin stood beside me, and that window was right in front of my eyes. The blood-red handprint on the window was so eye-catching, as if it were alive. The blood on the palm print was still dripping down.
"Tonight, I really can't sleep." After finishing speaking, Cha Wenbin turned around and entered the house. I stretched out my hand to compare the size of the palm print, but suddenly there was a "crack" sound, and the palm print instantly split into two halves. When I looked again, I found that the entire window had also become two halves. Remembering Ye Qiu's knife from earlier, I suddenly felt a chill in my heart...
As soon as I entered the house, I saw that several people's faces didn't look good, so I said: "Are you all zombies?"
Zha Wenbin shook his head and said, "No, if it were a zombie, it wouldn't have retreated with just one slash. Han Yue is a famous sword, its killing intent is extremely heavy, zombies are purely yin objects but they don't fear killing intent. It seems that only ghosts or monsters can be causing trouble."
"Ghost?" I took a look at the thing in my hand and felt completely disheartened: "This thing doesn't seem to have any effect on it, combat effectiveness reduced by half."
Cha Wenbin glared at me and said, "It's all because of you, so you'll take an extra shift tonight."
"I won't sleep either." Old Gu wiped his glasses and said, "As one gets older, they sleep less. Accompanying you young people, I really want to see how you deal with the ghost if there's an opportunity."
"A ghost?" Zhang Wenbin was taken aback, and Mr. Gu explained: "In the West, it's called a ghost; in China, you call it a spirit."
"Do you believe?"
"Believe it! I once participated in a study on ghosts, and we found that ghosts are likely to exist and they have a physical form. How to put it, it's an existence of a magnetic field, let me call it "ghost field", just like the magnetic field between two magnets is the same, only this magnetic field you can't see, but it does exist and can affect you." Mr. Gu continued: "Our world is originally composed of matter, what you see is physical matter, and there are some that you can't see, such as air, radio waves, magnetic fields, and time, these things do exist."
"Yes," I nodded, "time, indeed can't be seen or touched, but it's always in operation."
"Time is something that can be perceived by everyone but cannot be seen. The existence or non-existence of ghosts depends on perception. The separation of the ghost from the body depends on the person's organs or physical weakness, to the point where not enough energy can be produced."
Zha Wenbin furrowed his brow and said: "Does Mr. Gu mean that ghosts are born with us? This point is somewhat similar to the views of our Taoist school."
"Let me put it this way, I'll give you an analogy. In the first three months of fetal development, when the body is still small, there is no soul. As the fetus develops and grows into a complete adult form, its internal organs also develop fully, the brain gains thinking ability, blood circulates, and science has long proven that humans are electric. Electricity is generated because our bodily fluids contain ions, as long as these ions flow, an electric current will be produced, which in turn generates a magnetic field. Ghosts are a manifestation of this magnetic field, they truly exist. This is why Westerners strongly oppose abortion, and the Chinese consider babies who die in the womb to be 'ghost fetuses' with spiritual essence."
"I've studied a type of sorcery in Southeast Asia where they raise small ghosts. Their sorcerers choose the corpses of aborted fetuses that have fully developed, because the bodies still maintain their magnetic field after death. They use their own magnetic field to obtain this magnetic field and utilize it for themselves."
Cha Wenbin and I were shocked, I've heard countless ghost stories, I've even seen them with my own eyes, but most of the time I told myself it was just an illusion, those who jumped into a trance were just deceiving people's superstition. Because from childhood, our teachers educated us in materialism and atheism, but today I personally heard a foreign professor tell me these things, and suddenly I believed that what I saw existed.
"I used to really be able to see ghosts, he said I have yin-yang eyes." I pointed at Cha Wenbin and said.
"Old Guo raised his hand and gestured to me, saying: "It's not your eyes, but your magnetic field that can sense the other person's existence. Our eyes are just receiving images, and science has also proven a point - the objects we see with our eyes, for example, you." He pointed at me and said: "You're sitting in front of me right now, but actually, the image I see through my eyes is inverted, like a painting turned upside down. Our brain automatically adjusts the painting to be upright, it's just an instantaneous change that people can't perceive. Why are children the easiest to scare, Younger Brother Zhao? Doesn't your Taoist teachings explain that children's heavenly eyes haven't closed yet?"
Cha Wenbin said: "Gu Lao understands a lot, we really think so, we believe that when people are born, they have a third eye, which can see things belonging to the netherworld."
"What is the underworld?" Old Guo smiled and said: "It's the world people go to after they die, just like the Christian concept of heaven."
"We call the world that people live in and see as Yang, and there is another invisible one called Yin, which is the world that people go to after they die. You understand correctly."
"I don't deny your point of view, every culture has a similar understanding of what happens after death. You have the concept of hell in Taoism, heaven in Christianity, the Western Pure Land in Buddhism, and Islam believes in paradise and hell after death. Regardless of whether their purpose is to guide people to do good and abandon evil, all these religions say one thing: there is indeed another world after death. Don't deny religion, two-thirds of the population in our world have religious beliefs, are they all superstitious? No, just like me, when I was in America, I would go to church to listen to gospel, and I also believe in God and heaven."
The old man continued: "This topic has gone a bit far, why children can see ghosts. It's because their brain waves are not yet mature and are easily affected. Xiaoyi is one of them. Of course, this is just my personal opinion. My friend, Dr. Fran from the US, and his team did an experiment: every day, people take in a lot more energy than they consume, so where does the excess energy go? In fact, a large part of it goes to those who have a strong magnetic field, which produces electric waves that need energy to send out. People like this are also more likely to see ghosts."
"Right, right, right, Professor's words are indeed on a higher level. I knew why no matter how much I ate, I couldn't gain weight. It turns out to be the case. However, Professor, you said we're constantly sending out electromagnetic waves, so why didn't I receive any later on? Wenbin said it's because I...I became a man and therefore..."
"Haha, that's exactly what Cha Lao Di explained. As someone who has experienced it myself, I think it might be because your body became stronger later on and your magnetic field also strengthened, just like Cha Lao Di said that when the yang fire is strong, you naturally won't see it anymore. Actually, I'm saying all this because I want to say that Cha Lao Di's Taoist magic techniques are very meaningful, but no one has ever seriously studied them before. I really want to conduct research on this, and maybe this can be an opportunity for your Taoism to clear its name."
Cha Wenbin never thought that he would be recognized by a mainstream scientific academic as being in the same profession, just like how many people now think of Taoist priests as only knowing how to chant empty words and draw mysterious symbols that nobody can understand. Even the Taoist priests themselves don't know why they have to chant these things or why they have to draw them in such a way. It's just like traditional Chinese medicine, which talks about yin-yang harmony and the five elements interacting with each other, but Western medicine doesn't recognize it because there is no scientific basis for it. In fact, in the West, they consider traditional Chinese medicine to be nothing more than witchcraft. However, traditional Chinese medicine can indeed cure some illnesses, and in certain cases, it's even more effective than Western medicine.
Then Wenbin stood up and bowed deeply to Professor Gu, saying: "Today, I heard the teacher's lesson, which made me suddenly enlightened. To be honest with the teacher, I have been doubting whether my life is wrong lately. Today, after hearing the teacher's explanation, I had a lot of epiphanies. Please accept a student's bow..."
