Chapter 168: The Changes of Time and Space

  ??

  "What do you mean by 'me'?" I thought this matter was very suspicious, Ye Qiu rarely spoke, but he was definitely not a person who spoke nonsense. "Then who am I?"

  Ye Qiu said to me, "You're still you, and the one just now was also you, I can recognize the smell on him." He paused for a moment and then said, "Perhaps what you see now isn't necessarily the same as us from just now either." This guy could talk nonsense at any time, and even started to speak eloquently, quite like a scholar. But had he really read books?

  "This..." I was completely bewildered, and looked at Old Gu: "Teacher, you're a professor, a scholar, you tell me."

  The old man first walked around me in a circle, during which he also stretched out his hand to pinch me twice. After asking us all to sit down, he picked up several stones and began arranging them on the ground. He said to Cha Wenbin: "Wenbin, the dream that Xia Lao mentioned earlier is exactly what will happen next. He told us about the dream, we believed it, and made sufficient preparations, but things still developed according to his dream. This only proves one thing: we were lagging behind, not that he was ahead of time."

  Then Wen Bin told me what happened from start to finish, and I listened in a daze, how could this be? Is it really possible for there to be two of me in this world?

  "What does 'beyond the forefront' mean?" Zhang Wenbin asked Gu Qinghe. To be honest, we are all ordinary people. The things Zhang Wenbin understands were passed down from old guys, and it can be said that in terms of modern science, he is about the same level as a primary school student. I'm not much better than him either, basically belonging to the type who doesn't need to read books.

  Gu Qing took three stones and drew a straight line on the ground, placing the three stones on this line. He pointed to the line and said: "This line is the timeline, our current world is three-dimensional, consisting of length, width, and height, so what you see will be three-dimensional. For example, the symbol paper you use, the painting on the paper is two-dimensional, two-dimensional is a plane, and three-dimensional is the space we are in now. If we add this timeline to the three-dimensional space, it becomes a four-dimensional world."

  "What's a four-dimensional world?" I had never heard of such a thing, and my limited brain couldn't comprehend it. So Gu Qing continued to explain: "From the perspective of a three-dimensional world, length, width, and height can be compressed at will, which is why things have shapes and sizes; a four-dimensional world is like looking at this timeline, simply put, you've all seen VCRs, where the images are frame by frame, so you can rewind or fast-forward the tape. The person in front of you on the screen one second ago and the person behind them are actually the same, it's just that we can pause it at will."

  He said that, and I slightly understood, but not quite. Gu Qing looked at our puzzled faces and continued: "Of course, using a tape recorder to describe the fourth dimension is not accurate. The axis of time can only move forward, not backward, because history has already happened, you can't change it. If you could change history, this timeline would turn our world into countless worlds, each with different events happening next."

  "In the pit, Xia Lao Di said he had a dream, and the world he saw was about five minutes different from what we actually saw later. He didn't travel back in time from five minutes later to tell us what happened five minutes ago, but rather our time was slower than Xia Lao Di's by five minutes. Time can't move backwards, but that doesn't mean it can't slow down or stagnate. When speed exceeds light, time can't reverse, but you can catch up with the shadow of the past and see it, although you can't communicate with it. Although time can't be reversed and history won't change because of this, the shadow you see is indeed from another world that already exists and has happened - this is the parallel universe."

  Gu Qing said with another analogy: "Parallel spaces may be in the same spatial system but different time systems, just like two trains running on the same railway line at different times; they may also be in the same time system but different spatial systems, just like cars driving simultaneously on the upper and lower lanes of an interchange. Originally, these two spaces are parallel and will not intersect, but some kind of power can make these two parallel spaces converge at a certain point, so you may find yourself in a world where the two spaces overlap at that point, and the time axes of these two spaces are different, then it is possible to see events from the past or future."

  He pointed at me and said, "When Xia saw the future events, it was because Xia's two time-spaces intersected. I don't know what reason caused his space to overlap. So the Xia in the pit saw the things that happened five minutes later, while the other Xia who walked over from the opposite side also saw his own self five minutes ago. The two Xias saw each other in their respective time-spaces and both existed because their spaces might have intersected."

  When I heard this, I suddenly thought of that one shot of mine. Could it be... could it be that I accidentally killed myself with that one shot?!

  "I'm done for!" I said.

  Gu Qinghe smiled and said, "It won't work. The bullets shot from your gun only hit the you at the crossroads, but the you five minutes ago won't be killed by the current bullet. The speed of the bullet can't surpass light, so it can't catch up with your past shadow."

  "Am I now five minutes ago, or five minutes later?"

  Gu Qing smiled and said, "It's now, now you and we are on the same timeline again, or perhaps just now we were also crossed over, only we didn't notice, but Xia younger brother, you noticed."

  "If I understand correctly, it's about yin and yang. We can't see each other, but some people can see things from the underworld. Is that also a kind of intersection between parallel spaces?"

  "Maybe," Gu Qing said with a smile, "but I'd rather believe that yin exists and is material, in the same three-dimensional world as us, and time is synchronized."

  "What is it that changed Xiao Yi's time and led to the appearance of parallel space?"

  "Look, just like you see, the lights in those houses, the decorations, the furniture, everything here has been kept in its original state for thousands of years. I suddenly thought, what if someone had recorded all this into a five-minute short film a thousand years ago, and then used the entire mountain as a screen to continuously loop it? What would that be like?"

  This is an unprecedented idea, I don't know if Gu Qing has any basis for it. I said: "I've indeed heard that in some places in China, on days with terrible thunder and lightning, you can see and hear the sounds of ancient people killing each other."

  Gu Qing said: "The place you mentioned is in Pucheng, Shaanxi. Many people in that geological team saw the scene. They said it was on a night when they were camping in an open area of the forest, and suddenly heard the sound of killing outside the tent, with swords and horses' hooves intertwined. After dawn, the team members still saw only greenery, without any signs of battle. The same phenomenon occurred the next day, and the team members rushed out of the tent and shone their flashlights, but there was nothing. Later, that team discovered an ancient battlefield in the local area. Do you know who participated in the excavation?"

  "Who?" I asked.

  "He Lao, it was that person you saw that day." Gu Qinghe said: "When he mentioned this matter to me, he still had some doubts. In fact, in Europe, such a phenomenon has been recorded long ago. On a night in the 17th century, in the Kaitu area of Britain, two armies wearing golden helmets and iron armor appeared in the night sky, killing each other. According to records, this scene was a reenactment of the Battle of Hill that had just occurred two months ago. Since then, the above-mentioned scene has been repeated many times, and this phenomenon is also called geomagnetic phenomenon."

  I've explained to him that many European scientists believe the earth is a large magnetic field, and apart from magnets, many things may have magnetism, only varying in strength. In an environment with strong magnetic fields, and under suitable temperature, humidity and geoelectric conditions, the images and sounds of people can be recorded and stored by surrounding buildings, rocks, iron ore, ancient trees etc., and under the same temperature, humidity and geoelectric conditions, these stored images and sounds may reappear.

  Similarly, the geomagnetic field in a house and the building itself can record the activities of its occupants over time and release them under certain conditions. This is the reason why many haunted houses exhibit strange phenomena."

  Zha Wenbin expressed his agreement, saying: "Actually, I also discovered this problem with my master. Some old houses or new houses have dirty things that are not the kind of dirty things we recognize. They don't interfere with the current owner's life at all. When they appear, they just appear, as if they completely ignore you. Even if I try to communicate with them, it won't work. Whenever this happens, my master will use the Heavenly Thunder Talisman."

  "Thunder?" Gu Qinghe said: "That's right, magnetic field. When it encounters a strong impact from other magnetic fields, it will be shattered. The powerful magnetic field generated by thunder and lightning is a huge destructive force, enough to overwhelm any magnetism."

  "You're right, I remember now. Like the case of losing one's soul, if someone encounters thunder and lightning after 'losing their soul', the probability of being found again is very small. We used to think that they were struck dead by lightning, a terrible heavenly punishment. But in fact, it was just that their soul's magnetic field was destroyed by the lightning."

  "Exactly, exactly. You are really amazing, you can invoke the power of nature to overcome magnetic force, this is one aspect of traditional Chinese Taoism in science, it's incredible."

  "I interrupted: 'What I saw...'"

  "You are different from this situation, you belong to a kind of intersection in parallel space. Anyway, I believe that there should be an extremely strong magnetic field near this mountain." Gu Qinghe said, suddenly the surroundings fell into darkness, and those houses seemed to have agreed on it, all choosing to turn off their lights at the same time. A nameless fear began to creep in from all directions...
