Chapter 24 Section 23: Don’t talk about your so-called science

"We need to hurry up!" "why?" "Someone went in!" "Who? Where did he go in?" "Ugin Veron, someone is approaching it, this is not allowed! As long as someone with an impure heart approaches it, it will disappear. We must speed up!" "But it's dark now!" "It doesn't matter!" "I can't see the way at all!" "It doesn't matter!" "Everyone is tired and needs to rest!" "It doesn't matter!" After Chu Feng heard the words "It's okay" spit out again from that small mouth, he stomped his feet angrily.That's all, since he can persevere as a child, everyone should work hard and go up the mountain overnight.

Fortunately, Xilin can still persist, and Bingbu and the middle-aged lama have nothing to do with each other.Although it was getting late, everyone did not stop to camp at the foot of the mountain, but climbed up to the Quick Wusu Bing Daban overnight, approaching an area that looked very much like a scene in a magical movie. Although the moon is not full tonight, the moonlight is very bright.It softly shines on the sandstone "Stone Forest" that looks like Lin Feilin, making the already magical "Stone Forest" even more magical. These sandstone forests look like a dense stone forest when viewed from the bottom of the mountain, but when you get closer, you find that it is not a forest at all.Some sandstones look like medieval warriors wearing full armor, some look like various grotesque beasts, and some look like solemn and majestic ancient castles in the European Middle Ages.Chu Feng and the others were heading towards the largest "ancient castle".

The more he went up, the more frightened Chu Feng became. This place was already close to the Stone Forest area.Under the bright moonlight, the shadows not far ahead looked like medieval warriors holding swords and halberds when viewed from this angle.In addition, dark caves and grottoes can be seen everywhere on the hillsides and cliffs on the left and right sides.There were some noises from time to time, and I don't know what kind of beast's hiding place it is. Chu Feng secretly calculated that if there were five people in his party here, if they were really attacked by a herd of beasts, except for the two lamas, the strength of the other three people would not be small.Especially Xilin, even though he is small, his superb arrow skills are really the guarantee of their survival against the wolves.

Thinking of this, Chu Feng looked at Xilin's quiver on his right back. In addition to the twelve silver arrows handed down from Xilin's family, there were dozens of ordinary wooden arrows that he usually used to practice. It is iron.Under Xilin's usual diligent polishing, the sharp arrow now shone coldly under the silver moonlight.Chu Feng quietly took out the dagger stuck in the leggings, held it in his hand, and sighed involuntarily as he looked at the two lamas in front of him who were walking unhurriedly and only raising their legs. "Don't worry! The animals here are very kind!" The little lama seemed to have a pair of eyes on the back of his head.He spoke suddenly, breaking the silence of the moonlit night.

"Oh——" Although Chu Feng felt that the little lama was mysterious and small, he seemed to be capable, but he never had the habit of entrusting his safety to others.Although he relaxed a little after hearing these words, the dagger in his right hand did not return to its original place. The little lama also seemed to know that he didn't take his words to heart, so he smiled disapprovingly.He stopped for a while, and waited for the middle-aged lama who had been behind him to come forward and whispered something in his ear. The middle-aged lama nodded repeatedly, and stepped forward to lead the way, while he waited for Chu Feng to come up and walk with him.

"Do you think what I said is not credible?" His eyes were as bright as stars in the sky, and he glanced at Chu Feng's right hand slightly while speaking. "No, I'm just used to solving my own affairs by myself..." Chu Feng was a little unaccustomed to such straightforward conversations, and as he spoke, he felt a little annoyed: So what if I don't believe you?Am I familiar with you?Thinking about the life and death friendship with Fatty back then, so what happened?He didn't think it was normal to be able to confide in someone who had just met twice. "You have been hurt by your friends, so you can't trust people!" It's not an interrogative sentence, but an affirmative sentence.The little lama faced him with insightful wisdom.

"Even someone who has never suffered a crisis of trust, it may be difficult to open up easily in front of someone who has only met twice!" Chu Feng somehow felt displeased with that smug little face. "Hehe, you are right! In today's world, people are indifferent, suspicious, and wary. Few people can easily trust strangers, let alone help strangers at will. Human souls have fallen to a It's terrifying! Even if the Buddha is reborn, he doesn't know if he can be saved. What's even more frightening is that those fallen souls don't feel that they need to be rescued at all." The little lama said, lowering his eyelids, his long and curled eyelashes Shaking slightly with his exhalation.

Chu Feng originally wanted to speak out to fight back, but seeing his appearance, for some reason, he couldn't say the words that came to his lips.He thought about it, yes, this child really has a compassionate heart.Today's world is in an era of all pursuits of material things, but no one really cares about the soul anymore.Of course, this soul is not the "spirit out of body" soul that I once felt, but refers to the spiritual needs of people, or the inner world of people including "conscience". "You're right! When lying and cheating become commonplace, a crisis of trust will sweep across human society! Moreover, in addition, today's society lacks a great sense of morality, which makes people even more afraid to trust others easily, even The closest person around me!" Chu Feng hesitated for a moment, but still expressed his agreement.Although he was a little wary of this little lama who had many magical places along the way, he had to admit that he had intelligence and wisdom that did not match his age, and he really hit the nail on the head when he saw problems.When he said saving souls, it should be more appropriate to save the lack of moral sense in the entire society. Unfortunately, this disease seems to have become a "cancer" of society. If things go on like this, the prospect is indeed dire.

"Human souls need to be redeemed, but unfortunately, too many people don't know this!" The little lama said with a sense of magic.But Chu Feng is still thinking about a series of things that lack trust in society, such as not being able to help the elderly when they fall, fear of being blackmailed, etc., lamenting the ugliness of human nature reflected in these absurd but real incidents, unexpectedly For the first time, he did not dislike his religious preaching. "You, your age really doesn't match your thinking!" After a long time, Chu Feng said this. "I told you earlier, I am the reincarnated living Buddha!" ​​The little lama's words showed a little childish temper.

"There is such a thing as reincarnation? Ah, I'm sorry! It's not that I don't believe it, it's true, it's true, it's so unscientific!" Chu Feng said in the middle, when he saw the little lama staring at him angrily, he felt a little nervous. stuttered. After hearing his words, the child turned his mouth away and said disdainfully: "Don't take your so-called science as an example, is your so-called science necessarily correct?" After finishing speaking, he seemed to remember What, staring at Chu Feng with wide eyes, the expression on his face is definitely not good-looking, "You, you, you, are you still looking at things with your so-called scientific eyes? You want to kill us all?!"

At the same time, in the dark underground, the same sentence sounded: "Science? Science is a fart!" Who else speaks so arrogantly, except Tang Mei who has always pretended to be a gentleman? !Opposite him, Sangbu looked helpless. It is said that when Sang Bu saw that Tang Mei actually grabbed Ling Ning and dragged her into the big hole in a free fall posture, he was not in a hurry.But he knew a little bit about Tang Mei, and he didn't think he just wanted to harm others.Because she didn't intend to take Ling Ning down before, she didn't have any equipment on her body, so Sangbu had to wait for a few minutes to get another set of equipment, and he carried it on his back, following William's example, and walked down diagonally step by step.As a result, as soon as he reached the platform that was more than 100 meters deep underground, he saw William and Tang Mo waiting for him there. Only Ling Ning seemed to be fainted by fright, and Tang Mo threw him on the ground aside. He couldn't help complaining a few words tactfully. He couldn't say that Tang Mo was a lunatic for jumping down like that, but he just mentioned that his whereabouts were unscientific, where he would meet and so on.But as soon as Tang Mei went underground, he seemed to be a different person, and he directly said "Science is a fart" to him.Sangbu was busy tidying up and untying the ropes thrown down from above, so it was not easy to argue with him for a while. At this time, the time to cut off the water had already arrived. After Sangbu shouted, the people above untied the rope and threw it down, and then the top was covered soon.I don't know if they retreated to the shore in time?While thinking about it, Sang Bu put away the end of the rope, and prepared to tie it somewhere on the platform, and he and the others had to continue down. William didn't know what happened up there, and he didn't know why that Tang Mei came down with Ling Ning in his arms.But Ling Ning is his fellow student after all, and the relationship between the two of them is not bad in the past few months, so they have been busy trying to wake her up. This small platform seems to be a huge stone inlaid in the cave. The stone is about one and a half meters above the cave wall, and it is not too crowded for three people to stand on it.It's just that when adding a lying down Ling Ning and a lot of ropes, Tang Mei's foothold has to be close to the edge of the stone platform. "Huh!" Originally, in order to save electricity, Sangbu told them that they would only turn on the miner's lamp for one person at a time, and wait until they got down to the bottom to decide according to the situation.At this time, Tang Mo didn't know what he found, he suddenly turned on the miner's lamp on his head, illuminating the stone platform like daytime. "This place is actually artificial, interesting, really interesting!" Tang Mei looked along the edge of the stone platform and the cave wall, and suddenly smiled! "Artificial construction?" Sangbu was startled. He looked down and found no bottom; looked up, the top of the 100-meter-high roof was now tightly stitched, and there was no trace of a hole; he looked at the smooth opposite side cave wall.If this is a manual project, how big is the project? He didn't question Tang Mei's words, but he turned on the miner's lamp and looked at the edge interface.After a long time, I threw down the rope tied at one end: "It doesn't matter if it's artificial or natural, anyway, we can't go back now, we can only continue down." Ling Ning woke up in time, and she was confused for a while before remembering what happened just now.Contrary to other people's expectations, she did not yell to settle accounts with Tang Mo, but quickly put on the equipment that Sangbu helped her carry, and followed the others, dragging the rope down.During the whole process, except that she asked Sangbu for some advice on the things she didn't know how to use, she didn't say a word about what happened just now, let alone ask Tang Mei or Sangbu for an explanation. Going down to the second platform seems to be farther than the distance from the ground to the first platform.Sangbu estimated that it was about 150 meters long, but the rope was still long enough.The distance to the third and fourth platforms seemed to be slightly longer, reaching at least 180 meters.Sambu was secretly worried that if the distance between these platforms was increasing, then he didn't know if the rope would be long enough to go down. Fortunately, after reaching the fifth platform, the distance between the platforms did not seem to increase any more, it was always about 200 meters, and the length of the rope was almost just enough.All the way down to the tenth platform, the distance was still the same, and Sambu let go of his worries a little bit. "Huh - so tired! I said, what is this place? Isn't it the legendary bottomless pit?" William was the last one this time, and he couldn't help shouting as soon as he stepped on the stone platform.The four of them have been in this cave for a day and a night.There is no sun or moon in the cave. Fortunately, the watches are still running normally, so I can only work and rest according to the time on the watch.What I ate was the compressed dry food prepared by Sangbu in advance. The taste could never be called good, but if I persisted in the ground for three months, nothing else could replace it. People are prone to have many strong and negative emotions in the dark, not to mention these four people are still heading towards the boundless darkness underground?William was the most impatient and the first to complain. "It's not a bottomless pit, it's the capital of the underworld!" Tang Mo chimed in leisurely. "What is the capital of the underworld?" Maybe it's because people in the dark are more likely to be lonely and fearful. Since they came down, the three of them, Sangbu, William, and Tang Mei, have talked a lot, and they have to say a few words whether they chat with each other or not. , I just want to hear other people's voices. "According to the "Natural History" records, in the north of Kunlun Mountain, 3,600 miles below the ground, there is the Baxuan Youdu. It is the place where people's souls go after death, that is, hell!" Tang Mei did not despise William's ignorance at this time , he wished William would ask him more things, so that he would have the opportunity to show off his erudition. "Ah, isn't it said that the hell in China is called Fengdu City, and it's in Sichuan?" William looked at the endless darkness under his feet, thought of some legends about hell, and felt the hairs on his body stand up. "That's a later legend. In ancient Chinese mythology, hell is in the north of Kunlun Mountain!" Tang Mei seemed to intend to scare William. "No, Kunlun Mountain is far away from here. This is the Tianshan Mountain, to be precise, the Western Tianshan Mountain. How could there be a ghost capital?" William is not stupid. "The Kunlun Mountains in mythology all refer to the ancient Kunlun Mountains, not the Kunlun Mountains today." Tang Mei's voice was still lazy, and he seemed to have no interest in being a teacher. Clearly, some people say that it is today's Qilian Mountains, Tianshan Mountains, Karakorum Mountains, and some even say Qingcheng Mountains, Taishan Mountains, Yuhuangding Mountains, etc. Since Tianshan Mountains are also possible, why can't we encounter the capital of the underworld here? Except for the legendary Have you ever seen a hole this deep?" "Is that so?" William was very honest, but the next moment he shouted, "Three thousand six hundred miles deep, isn't this one thousand eight hundred kilometers? Isn't that going to the mantle? This, this It doesn't make sense from a scientific point of view!" "Bullshit science!" Tang Mei once again failed, emotionally, "Science is the dice in the hands of scientists, they can roll as they want! If you still have so-called 'scientific' thinking in your head, how can you be here? Those who die don’t even know! Say it first, don’t get me involved later!”
