Chapter 9 Chapter Eight

Bai Su spent a lot of time saying that the two weird gangster suicides were related to retribution. Although she explained in detail, the basis for her argument was still very weak. The only basis for her argument is that there is such a thing as retribution. But whether there is really retribution is completely unprovable, so her argument cannot actually be established. If the environment were changed, I would have already spoken out against it.But at this time, I was blowing the wind on the top of the mountain anyway, so I just talked about it casually without refuting. Based on this belief, Bai Su also knew that Aunt Qiao An had mentioned the God of Retribution, so she felt that the meeting with Aunt Qiao An was very important.

Bai Su went to see Aunt Qiao An accompanied by Fernando. She also explained the process in detail. I will not repeat it. I only point out that her purpose of doing this is to show that Aunt Qiao An is not The "country witch" in my mouth is as simple as that, but it is a very influential figure who has mastered certain mysterious powers throughout Panama. Those who believed in her mysterious power were not only ordinary people, but also high-ranking officials like Fernando. Aunt Joan lived at the end of a 100-meter long alley. When Fernando, Bai Su and Hong Ling went there, the narrow alley was crowded with people from all over the world, even some people not far away. People from thousands of miles came to ask Aunt Qiao An for advice with all kinds of questions.

I can completely accept the situation Bai Su described.Because although this kind of situation is very unsightly, it exists everywhere. I once saw a similar scene in one of the most advanced big cities in the world: at three o'clock in the morning, there were well-dressed men and women waiting in line in the dirty side streets, with the purpose of asking to see a blind.It is said that this blind man can know the past and the future and has supernatural powers.Therefore, although his conditions for meeting guests are very strict, for example, no appointment time can be made in advance, only first-come-first-served, and the number of visitors is limited every day, etc., so those who want to get advice from him have to queue up all night.But the humor is that through special channels, of course, more money is paid, and there are exceptions.

In a large city where the average level of knowledge is generally high, this phenomenon still exists, let alone in a place like Panama. What I want to make a special statement here is that I absolutely do not hold a negative attitude towards being able to know the past and the future and any wizard abilities that fall within the scope of metaphysics.I just don't believe that a walker who makes a living by hanging up the signboard of supernatural powers really has the supernatural powers he claims. There is a big difference between the two. In order to make everyone understand my position better, let me give another specific example, such as "Feng Shui".I absolutely believe that there is a knowledge of Fengshui, but I don't believe that many so-called Fengshui masters who are active in the rivers and lakes to make a living really understand the knowledge of Fengshui.

The above paragraphs are purely off-topic and have nothing to do with the story.The reason why I took this opportunity to talk about it is because a large number of the stories I have described involve the scope of metaphysics, and it has been affirmed for more than 30 years.Therefore, some people who run the rivers and lakes, when they use the pretense of metaphysics, there are situations where "Wesley is also sure" appears. So it must be made clear: what Wesley affirms is metaphysics, and Wesley definitely does not affirm those who use metaphysics to make a living—to put it nicely, they use it to make a living, but in fact they are bluffing and deceiving.

But he said that although there were many people in the alley at that time, Fernando's status was different and he had privileges. He swayed his body and squeezed the people who were in the alley so that their backs were pressed against the wall.With a fat man like him leading the way, and Bai Su and Hong Ling following behind, it was easy to move around. Arriving at the door of Aunt Joan's residence, the house looks very simple from the outside, but when you open the door, it is quite spacious and has all the modern household equipment.Aunt Joan was sitting on a spacious easy chair, reaching out her hand to caress the top of a woman kneeling in front of her, muttering in her mouth, and she didn't know what she was talking about.

In Bai Su's eyes, it can be seen that Aunt Qiao An is a typical old Jianghu who is old and mature, and Bai Su can't help but feel a little disappointed. Bai Su did not deny that she had some hopes before meeting Aunt Joan, hoping that this witch would at least be proficient in witchcraft, or that she had had some contact with the God of Retribution in her mouth. When she entered the room and took a look, she knew that this was not the case at all, and she was disappointed, so she had no choice but to take a step forward. However, Bai Su was not without gains. Not long after talking with Aunt Qiao An, she knew that when the bank robbery happened, there was a heavy thunderstorm.Since heavy thunderstorms are very common in the area, almost every day, things that are too common are easily overlooked, so when Fernando mentioned the bank robbery, he did not mention heavy thunderstorms.

And Aunt Qiao An mentioned the thunderstorm because she has her own point of view, and her point of view comes from the way the God of Retribution executes retribution. The conversation started with the gangsters breaking into the bank. Aunt Qiao An is really used to wandering around the world, and she can speak well, telling the story vividly and vividly. Bai Su has watched the video tape of the whole process, and she admires Aunt Qiao An's ability to narrate. She explained things clearly without exaggerating, which made Bai Su have a certain liking for her. When Bai Su asked her opinion on this matter, Aunt Qiao An waved her hands and her voice was high-pitched, which showed that she was full of confidence in her words.

She said: "Of course the God of Retribution came and performed his sacred duty!" Seeing that she was so sure, Bai Su asked: "How can you tell?" Aunt Qiao An raised her voice even more: "It was a heavy thunderstorm at that time! The lightning flashed and the thunder rumbled, but it was the God of Retribution who came!" When Aunt Qiao An was talking, her eyes were wide open, as if she was wondering why Bai Su, who seemed smart, didn't even know such a simple thing! But at that time, Bai Su was really in a moment, and it was difficult to connect the "big thunderstorm" with the "god of fruit and retribution".And seeing Aunt Qiao An's expression, she didn't know how to continue asking.

When Bai Su said this, he paused for a while.She was wondering if I could have any associations, but I couldn't think of one. At this time, the two people who were listening to Bai Su's narration at the same time made voices that understood what Aunt Qiao An said. The reaction of these two people made me think that the heavy thunderstorm and the god of retribution that Aunt Qiao An said must be related to the local folklore. Generally, folklore is deeply rooted in the hearts of the local people. You can understand it as soon as you hear it, but we outsiders are inexplicable. I asked, "Is the heavy thunderstorm a symbol of the God of Retribution?"

Bai Su didn't answer immediately, the two rushed to say: "The God of Retribution is the God of Thunder! In many cases, the God of Retribution performs his duties, and he burns the damned people to death with thunder and fire." After listening to the explanations of the two, I feel that it is not strange that Thor executes retribution, but that Thor executes the death penalty and burns the sinner to death with thunder and fire. Such a statement? Of course, even if they are far apart, it is not surprising that there are similar legends, but at this time, I feel really strange. In Chinese folklore, Thor is the god of justice, who presides over justice and uses thunder and fire to deal with evil.When people are persecuted by evil forces and unable to resist, they will use "when will you be struck by lightning" to vent their hopes of dealing with evil forces on Thor. Is it the same here? Since Bai Su paused for a while and I didn't make a sound, she could of course know what I was thinking during this period of time, so if she spoke again, she could completely follow my train of thought.She said: "The situation is indeed very similar to the Chinese legends, and they believe that when the God of Retribution appears, it must be accompanied by thunder and lightning." At this time, my thoughts were quite confused. I thought that in Chinese legends, there seems to be no equal sign between the god of thunder and the god of retribution. However, the Chinese immortal system is very complicated. If it is simplified, since Lei Shen performs part of the work of retribution, it is all right to regard him as the god of retribution. And this situation, much like the legend here, comes from China. I said what I thought, and added another sentence: "The Chinese god of thunder has a very special shape. I don't know what the god of thunder here looks like?" Bai Su said: "Just listen to me." After affirming that what happened in the bank was related to the God of Retribution, Aunt Qiao An also published a large commentary: "If you do something that hurts others, you will eventually hurt yourself. Those three gangsters stole money and killed people. Originally They will definitely pay the price for their evil deeds, and they cannot escape the punishment of the God of Retribution. And when the God of Retribution happened to appear, they immediately changed their intention to kill themselves into killing themselves, so they shot themselves to death !" When I heard Bai Su say these words, I was even more puzzled.Because these words are very organized, and I have a fairly thorough understanding of the concept of harming others and ultimately harming myself.I couldn't help asking again: "Aunt Qiao An said all these words, or have you edited them?" Bai Su immediately replied: "No word changed, she said it all. This witch is not as 'countryside' as you imagined. In her own field, she has her own system of theory. It is very convincing to say, so it can be supported by the masses.” I also felt that I should look at this witch with admiration, and I expressed my feelings towards her: "I always feel that her way is very close to Chinese legends, is it possible that the folk cultures of China and Central America are so similar? " Bai Su laughed: "About this point, I was as puzzled as you were at the time. But the next action gave me a hypothesis to explain this strange phenomenon." Bai Su didn't immediately say what the next action would be, but she went on to say: "The words of Aunt Joan I quoted just now are completely suitable for the expedition team being attacked by bandits. " I thought about what I said again, and felt that it was true: when the expedition team was attacked by bandits, there was a heavy thunderstorm (God of Retribution appeared), and the bandits made a surprise attack when the expedition team was unprepared (then It is an absolute evil), so the god of retribution at the scene used his divine power to turn the murderous intentions of those vicious gangsters into killing each other, and realized the result of evil retribution. This is according to Aunt Joan's statement. If it is "Wesleyized", it is like this: when the gangster starts to kill, the brain activity of the gangster is thinking about how to kill.At that time, there was a force that changed the brain activity of the gangsters, making the gangsters think of cannibalism, and brain activity dominated the body's actions, so the result was the gangsters' cannibalism. Much could be added: this power, which can revolutionize brain activity, is supposed to have some connection to the astronomical phenomenon of lightning and thunder. It is also conceivable that extraterrestrial superpowers are at work. In short, this kind of power can make people's original thoughts undergo a diametrically opposite change—from murder to suicide.When the original thought is an evil deed, it turns into the opposite, and it becomes the retribution of the evil deed! I really can't think of a country witch's words, which will bring me so many associations, and seem to solve the strange phenomenon to some extent. I immediately thought of the videotape of the three gangsters shooting themselves to death in the bank. At least one of the gangsters moved with his left hand when he shot with his right hand.At the time we didn't know what he wanted with his left hand. With such a hypothesis now, it can be imagined that the gangster's brain activity was affected by external forces at that time, making him change from murderous thoughts to suicide, and there was a process before this transformation was fully completed.It is already known that brain activity is divided into two parts, left and right. The left half of the brain controls the activities of the right hand, while the right half of the brain controls the activities of the left hand. The situation at that time may be that the left hemisphere of the gangster has been controlled by external forces, but the right hemisphere has not.So there was a scene where the right hand raised the gun to commit suicide while the left hand wanted to push the right hand away. Of course, that was only a very short period of time, and then all his brains were controlled by external forces, so the suicide act was completed quickly. It can also be based on this assumption to imagine why another gangster showed such a strange expression before dying. Of course, it was before his brain activity was completely controlled, and he was sober for a moment, so he didn't understand why he suddenly turned into killing himself when he clearly wanted to kill someone.However, he only had this little time, and then his brain activity was completely controlled, and he issued the command to kill himself, so his "suicide" behavior was completed. So strictly speaking, the three gangsters who robbed the bank did "kill themselves" rather than "suicide". Because at that time, their behavior of killing themselves was not their own thoughts, but the result of brain activity affected by external forces. It takes a certain amount of imagination to accept the power that can completely change the original mind as the god of retribution, but once you figure it out, you will feel that it is so! Moreover, this kind of thinking is much cleaner and neater than the traditional Chinese thinking about retribution, all of which are crisp and exquisite "present eye newspapers"!Solve it immediately on the spot, and don't pin your hopes on the "hour of retribution" when you don't know when. The advantage of present retribution is that those who do evil will get retribution immediately: those who want to beat others will turn into beating themselves; the knife that wants to stab someone with a knife will be inserted into his own body; As a result, it was his own hand that broke off; as a result of shooting someone, the bullet shot himself dead... All kinds of acts of mutilating the body of others are transformed into harming himself in an instant, how delightful this is!I can't think of anything more satisfying than this. By extension, it is not only the evil deeds that harm others' bodies will immediately receive retribution, but also all kinds of detrimental behaviors to others will immediately turn into detrimental to oneself.Those who deceive others will suffer losses; those who cheat behind their backs will reap the consequences; those who steal will lose their property... Since there are too many evil deeds of human beings, it is impossible to list them one by one. In short, that kind of power can make any evildoer get retribution immediately! I took a deep breath and shouted naturally: "There is such a god of retribution, I am willing to bow down to him, and hope that he will display his power all over the world, and then the sins of mankind will be completely wiped out." , Earthlings can begin to become advanced creatures!" Bai Su heard my yell, and she said: "I thought the same as you at the time, so when Aunt Qiao An mentioned that there is a temple dedicated to the God of Retribution, I immediately asked her to take us to worship." Bai Su said the word "worship" from her mouth. From this, it can be seen that her thoughts are indeed the same as mine, and she feels that this god of retribution has such magical powers to deal with human evil deeds, which is really worthy of worship. Later, when Bai Su talked about this incident with me, Bai Su sighed very much. She said: "I quite agree with a saying that 'cruelty is the greatest evil of human beings'. At that time, all the cruel deeds are turned back on the wicked, which is really the best thing in the world, a god who can have this kind of power, unless he is a wicked person himself, he will definitely worship him." In this regard, I completely agree with Bai Su.Later, Hong Ling and Wen Baoyu even exaggerated. They said: "As long as this power can be widely exerted on the earth, I can kowtow to him a hundred times a day, which is more devout than Tibetans worshiping Buddha!" Presumably what they said made sense. Worshiping any god is actually very illusory, and you can't see any results immediately.And if there really is a god of retribution who possesses such power, it would be such a pleasure to see the evildoers receive retribution every moment. It is worth kowtowing a few more times for this! These are all things to say, so I won’t mention them. But it was said that Aunt Qiao An took Bai Su, Hong Ling and Fernando to the temple dedicated to the God of Fruit Retribution, and the drive took about two hours. Bai Su kept thinking in his heart, since the supernatural power of the God of Retribution is so great, his temples must be very magnificent. There are some temples in Central America with a long history and very mysterious origins. The temple of the God of Retribution may also belong to this group kind. Because she had been thinking this way, when Aunt Qiao An suddenly stretched out her hand and pointed forward and said, "We're here, it's there." Bai Su opened his eyes wide and looked forward, but couldn't see anything. Of course, it wasn't that there was nothing within her sight, but it was just that there was no magnificent and mysterious temple in her imagination. She collected herself, only to see that what Aunt Joan was referring to was a very simple stone house not far ahead.It is true that there are many people coming and going in and out of the stone house, but it is really difficult to connect it with the god of retribution who is powerful and worthy of worship. When Hong Ling came here, she had the same thought as Bai Su, and later she talked about her imagination of the temple of the God of Retribution: "It should be a huge, mysterious building with many huge pillars , like the Egyptian temple, I also expected to find many equipment left by aliens in the central part of the temple, etc... Who knew it would be such a dilapidated house, and when I went in, the statue was even more It's ridiculous!" At that time, Bai Su and Hong Ling entered the so-called "Temple of Fruit Retribution" and saw the god statue. Although many people were worshiping the god statue, after seeing it, Bai Su could bear it, but Hong Ling immediately Laughing loudly, causing others to stare at her. The so-called god statue is really ridiculous, and it is not a "god statue" at all. It is just a lightly pierced image on a wooden board, and the color is added. The wooden board has been standing there for many years, and it looks dilapidated. Incomparably, the image on it is blurred and can only be vaguely recognized. When Bai Su saw this situation, although she thought it was funny, she was very surprised at once, because she soon saw that the shape of the god carved on the wooden board was exactly in line with the "Thunder God" in Chinese legend - Sharp Mouth It has the body of a monkey with wings on its back and holds a hammer and chisel in its hands. What surprised Bai Su even more was that on the wooden board, next to the statue, there were actually a few crooked Chinese characters engraved, which were the seven characters "The Statue of Leibu Zhengtang"! Seeing this situation at first glance, it is indeed not easy to understand what is going on at once.But Bai Su thought for a while and understood. She already felt that Aunt Joan's statement about the God of Retribution was very similar to the Chinese legend, and now she was even more sure of the source of the legend of the God of Retribution, which was spread here by the Chinese many years ago! The Chinese have a long history of leaving their hometowns and crossing the oceans. They have traveled to almost every corner of the world, and some of them have arrived in Panama, Central America. It is inevitable. It can be guessed that when the Chinese go to a foreign land, they will inevitably be bullied by the locals. After being treated unfairly, they move out the legendary Thunder God to warn the locals not to do evil things. There will be a thunderbolt from the sky to execute and beat the evildoers to death.This kind of behavior of hoping for help from the gods after being bullied is very in line with the Chinese national character. Maybe someone happened to be electrocuted and died in a thunderstorm—this is actually an inevitable occurrence in a place where thunderstorms occur every day, so this kind of saying gradually became popular among the people, and evolved into the "God of Fruit and Retribution". The so-called god statue in that temple today is undoubtedly a masterpiece of the Chinese, and its age is long enough to prove Bai Su's assumption. Bai Su couldn't help laughing dumbfounded at this time, originally the God of Retribution gave her a lot of imagination, but it turned out to be like this. Of course she was very disappointed. I was also very surprised when I heard her narrate this far.Although I wasn't very optimistic about discovering something from the so-called "God of Retribution", I never thought it would be such a joke! If it were me, under such circumstances, I would definitely put aside the thoughts of the god of retribution and the god of thunder completely in my thoughts, and never pay attention to them again. But Bai Su is different from me. Although she was disappointed at the time, when she knew that when the expedition team was attacked and strange things happened, there was also a heavy thunderstorm. She still connected the incredible strange things with the heavy thunderstorm. Bai Su's narration is over, she finally said: "When the two things happened, there was a heavy thunderstorm, it can't be completely attributed to coincidence, I always feel that there is a crucial connection." At that time, I didn't take it seriously, but the development of things later, the situation is very special.It cannot be said that Bai Su's statement is correct, nor can it be said that her statement is wrong.It can only be said that Bai Su's hypothesis can be established under the circumstances that are acceptable and there are no better inferences and assumptions. (Such a statement sounds complicated, but because of the special situation, it must be said so, and everyone will understand after seeing how things develop in the future.) While Bai Su was narrating these experiences, they passed by them and boarded the helicopter, flying towards me. Zhang Taifeng and the other two also listened to Bai Su's narration, while trying their best to climb up the cliff. As a result, even though Bai Su came from a long way, she and Hong Ling arrived first.The helicopter barely stopped on the top of the cliff, Hong Ling jumped out first, followed by Bai Su.As soon as Hong Ling saw me, she gesticulated and smiled and told me in detail the dilapidated situation of the Temple of Karma, Bai Su shook her head: "The temple is not big, but there is a god, there is spirit." Hong Ling made a grimace, and I smiled and said, "Could it be that the strange incidents in the bank and the escape of the expedition team are all the blessings of the Thunder God in the ruined temple?" At this time, Bai Su must have also thought of the funny situation in the temple, so she couldn't help laughing: "I can't answer this question now - I think the key to the problem now is the missing expedition team!" Since I wanted to keep in touch with Zhang Taifeng, I didn't cut off the communication equipment, so Zhang Taifeng could hear what Bai Su said across from me.Before I could respond to Bai Su's words, Zhang Taifeng had already called out: "Yes! The expedition team! As long as the expedition team is found out, the truth will be revealed!" I understood Zhang Taifeng's eagerness to find Dian Xiwei, so I didn't refute his words, but just thought in my heart: The disappearance of the expedition team happened just after the attack. It can be assumed that the disappearance is related to strange things, but it must not be said. If you find the expedition team, things will come to light. It's not that I'm too pessimistic, but that things have developed to the present, and we are completely at a loss except for the assumption of "now and now".The basis for the so-called eye-posting hypothesis is also extremely weak. The reason why I feel that this hypothesis can be barely established is based on less objective factors and more subjective factors-I hope that the phenomenon of "present-eye newspaper" can really exist in the world. Existence, through this phenomenon to curb and eliminate all evils caused by human actions on the earth. Because of such hope, I further hope that this assumption is in line with the facts. In fact, this is a typical wishful thinking.When people fantasize, they always tend to the situation they want to appear, and I am not exempt from it. After Zhang Taifeng finished speaking, he said again: "Where did the expedition team go? Does Mrs. Wei have any clues?" Bai Su's answer was very solid: "The only clue is that they went to the sky." Such an answer certainly disappointed Zhang Taifeng, he sighed and said nothing more.I looked at Bai Su with a puzzled expression. Bai Su said that the expedition team went to the sky, and the clues were naturally those arrow marks. However, although the arrow symbol points to the sky, saying "the expedition team went to the sky" is still a very vague statement, and there are many, many questions.But Bai Su said it very positively, which makes people puzzled. Bai Su saw the question in my heart on my face, she spread her hands and asked me: "Besides this, what other ideas can I have?" I could only smile wryly and have nothing to answer. At this time, the helicopter left the top of the cliff, and I asked the helicopter to continue circling around the cliff, although I knew it would not be of much use, but there was nothing else to do. In the situation of doing nothing at all, Hong Ling suddenly looked up to the sky and screamed, Bai Su and I looked at each other amidst her earth-shattering roar, we couldn't laugh or cry. Looking at Hong Ling's situation, she wanted to transmit her whistle to the sky in a whimsical way, so that the expedition team in the sky could hear it - this is of course impossible, because there is nothing in the sky except some clouds. No. Amidst Hong Ling's whistling sound, Fernando's voice suddenly came from the earphone of the communication device, and he seemed very surprised: "What sound? Is there an accident with the helicopter?" It is conceivable that the sound coming from a single mouth could be misunderstood as a plane crash.
