Jin Dafu replied very quickly: "Immediately!" Saying "immediately" is naturally an exaggeration. It will take two days for me to board the plane with him. It’s certainly not a pleasant thing to fly with someone like Jin Dafu, but fortunately, you don’t have to be very polite to him, so I told him as soon as I got up: “If there is nothing special, don’t bother me!” Jin Dafu Weiwei agreed, but when the plane took off, the cabin was quite empty, and I already used an almost explicit tone to signal him to go away, but he was still by my side.It doesn't matter if he sits next to me, whenever I happen to look over at him, he will show a reticent expression, which is unbearable.

During such a long flight, it seems that if Jin Dafu is not allowed to say what he wants to say, he will have cramps halfway. So, when he showed that look for the eighth or seventh time, I sighed: "If you have something to say, just say it, but please remember to keep the long story short." Jin Dafu nodded repeatedly, stretched out his hand to summon the waiter, ordered a glass of South American spirits, drank it all, and said, "Mr. Wei, do you still remember the porter I mentioned?" I said: "Of course I remember, it was he who discovered that place and saw some very strange phenomena, that's why you knew there was that place."

Jin Dafu swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "This porter is a native with no knowledge. His level of knowledge is beyond imagination. He took me to that place. I said all the good things and gave him a lot of benefits to succeed. , I also told him that near that place, there is a mine that produces pure gold nuggets, which anyone can pick up, and he believed it, so he was willing to take me there." When I heard this, I already felt hot all over. This guy actually used such a shameless lie to deceive a native, and even said that the native's level of knowledge is low, it is extremely despicable!

Naturally, I couldn't see where to go, and Jin Dafu avoided my gaze: "We arrived at that place first, and when we left, I naturally couldn't take him to that non-existent gold mine. I didn't mean to deceive He, I already knew and was quite sure that I would be rich, and decided to give him a lot of gold when I got rich, but the fool didn't believe it!" I said coldly: "You think he is a fool, he exposed your lies, don't you?" Jin Dafu blushed: "He...stupid! If he believes in me, he will be a little rich man in less than a year. But he pretends to be smart, and fools like to pretend to be smart. He doesn't believe me, and has a dispute with me──"

When he said this, he stopped suddenly. I sat up straight, and I heard that there was going to be a tragedy. I asked quickly: "What did you do to him? Kill him?" Jin Dafu was panting quickly, the waiter walked by, I told her to bring the whole bottle of that spirit, Jin Dafu's face was out of shape, he spoke very quickly, it seemed that he wanted to yell at first, but finally he He also understood that the cabin is not a place to yell, so he lowered his voice very low: "I didn't kill him, it was a complete accident! Accident! Accident!" I stared at him: "The porter is dead?"

Jin Dafu poured half a glass of wine and was about to pour it into his mouth. I grabbed his wrist and said in a stern voice, "You must stay sober, tell the whole story, and don't get drunk!" Jin Dafu let out a "cluck" sound in his throat, nodded, took another sip of wine, and wiped the corners of his mouth: "He argued with me, pushed each other, when he fell, he hit a nest of poisonous lizards just right The back of his head crushed two or three to death, and another two or three bit him and died of poison." I myself had a terrible experience of facing a large number of poisonous scorpions. People call them the spirit of all things. When I met poisonous scorpions and poisonous lizards, I really had no resistance—at least on an equal footing. People can kill poison with one foot. Lizards and venomous lizards can also kill people with one bite.

The "accident" mentioned by Jin Dafu cannot be verified at all, because in that kind of wild place, when the incident happened, there were only the two of them.I thought about it, and said coldly: "You have lived in South America for many years, so you naturally know the power of poisonous lizards, and you should also know how to treat them after being bitten by them!" Jin Dafu answered quickly: "Yes, I know, to cut the flesh at the center of the bite, at least five centimeters deep, to release poisonous blood, it will be effective only if it is done immediately."

I pointed at him: "Why didn't you save him, don't tell me you didn't have a knife with you!" Jin Dafu sighed: "Of course there is a knife, but he has three bites, all on the throat, even if I want to cut his throat, how can he be cut by me? The trachea was severed together, and at that time, it was really me who killed him. At that time, he pointed at his throat, turned around and ran, ran to a small stream, bent down and drank water—" When I heard this, I couldn't help but let out an "ah". Jin Dafu looked at me suspiciously, and I said, "I was bitten by a poisonous lizard. If you have to stay still, the speed of blood circulation will be reduced, and you can't drink water." , drink water and die."

Jin Dafu nodded repeatedly: "By the time I arrived at the creek, his whole body had already turned purple, and he was dead from the poison." When he told me about that place last time, I noticed that he hesitated, and I thought it was because of this "accident".At this time, what I wondered was not whether what he said was true, but why he told me this matter. It must have been quite some time since this incident happened, and no one will pursue it. If a native porter suddenly disappeared, no one will pursue it. If Jin Dafu doesn't say anything, no one in the world will know about it, so why did Jin Dafu tell me?

I didn't ask him the question, I just stared at him.Jin Dafu came from a humble background, and his personality is by no means noble, but he is undoubtedly a smart person. He must understand the impact on my heart after listening to his narration, so I don’t need to ask at all. Sure enough, he smiled bitterly: "Although this incident was an accident, I have been brooding on it all the time, and my heart is very sad. When I got to that place... I have a feeling for that place. No matter what secrets you have in your heart, Once there, it will be difficult to hide it, and it will definitely be known to others, so I will tell you."

I still didn't make a sound, and he gestured again: "You will know this secret sooner or later, so I don't dare to lie to you." I knew he was going around, but he still hadn't revealed his real purpose, so he remained silent. Jin Dafu cried and said: "I really thought, I... will have such a terrible end, could it be because of... this incident? If it is this incident, I must let you know first, so that you can Dispel the disaster for me." I looked at him, hardly a mouthful of saliva spit on his face! His end was a hopeless lunatic, who was so terrified that he couldn't help tearing his own mouth, and even separated his head from his body. How could such a retribution be the cause of such trivial things? My eyes must have been terrible, so he flinched.My voice was cold: "You have to be clear, I didn't promise you anything, and I don't have any ability to eliminate disasters. I don't even know what that place is like." Jin Dafu took out his handkerchief again and wiped his sweat: "You have a way, everyone knows you have a way!" I was too lazy to argue with him, and pointed at him, "If your fate is really like that, then it must not be this accident, but you have done extremely bad things!" Jin Dafu pursed his lips tightly, and after a long while, he said: "No, of course I have done many bad things, but there is nothing more serious than this one. This one involved human life, and I was indeed deceiving you in advance. pass him!" I originally wanted to tell him that in his previous life, in the previous life, or hundreds of years ago, his soul has been accumulated, and the sin karma that has been accumulated will be released at an appropriate time! But on the one hand, it is just my speculation, there is no fact to prove it; on the other hand, I have told Jin Meili about this hypothetical theory, and she doesn't believe it at all, and I can't answer any of the questions I asked. Come up, it seems that Jin Dafu's reaction will be the same, I don't want to be boring anymore. So, I just said coldly: "Since this is the case, I have no other opinions." Jin Dafu stayed for a while, drank wine silently, and let me be quiet for about half an hour, then suddenly said: "When you get there, I believe you will be able to meet aliens, they... will listen to your persuasion and put Change my fate?" As soon as he spoke, I was about to feel impatient, but what he said moved my heart.Although he was still repeating the same old tune, I remembered one thing: he had been to that place, but I only listened to his description of the situation there, and did not listen to his opinion on the strange phenomenon there! I made a gesture to him that I wanted to have a good talk with him, and he was flattered, and straightened up to listen to me, and I thought first of all that what I saw in that place, some people might have deserved." Evil retribution" hypothesis told him. After hearing this, he stayed for a while, with an extremely ugly expression on his face. I asked him three times in a row before he responded. What I asked was: "What do you think about this assumption?" His first reaction was to cry: "Why should I be punished!" My answer was straightforward: "Of course you planted the bad fruit!" Jin Dafu seemed not to have heard my answer, and shook his head to himself: "No, no, if it is everyone's bad retribution... there will be many people who have suffered bad results...they will all be recorded there ?” What he raised was just a question, and he didn't object to my hypothesis. I asked again: "When you saw yourself in that place, did you feel that you were finally judged?" Jin Dafu's body trembled: "I'm extremely scared, my brain is buzzing, and I just feel in my heart that I can't escape this time! I can't escape! I'm so scared that my whole body trembles...so violently." When he said this, even though his whole body was in the cabin instead of that place, he still trembled. His voice was also trembling: "I don't know what the last judgment is, but it's like going to the palace of the king of hell after dying!" Jin Dafu said it very well. "The Last Judgment" comes from the West, and the traditional Chinese saying is "Go to the Palace of Hades"!At the same time, I also understand why Jin Dafu keeps saying that I can help him eliminate the disaster. According to the legend of Shangyan Wangdian, the king of Hades in the hall is the "final judge of good and evil". He can change the final result of a person at will according to certain behaviors in his life. Whether to lay down eighteen layers of hell, can be changed at any time. Jin Dafu thought that he would go to the Palace of Hades, or at least he had such a feeling, so he came to me and wanted to change his result.He suddenly "confessed" about the accident of the porter's death, probably out of a kind of atonement mentality, and hoped that by doing so, the result would change. I looked at him for a long time, and sighed: "Then, that impression has been deeply imprinted in your mind?" Jin Dafu had a bitter expression: "On that day, at the door of your residence, I saw an even more terrifying... scene." I asked again: "Where did you see your terrible results, and you also saw it from a TV screen?" Jin Dafu clasped his hands together, causing his fingers to make a "pat" sound: "I'm not sure if it's a TV picture, but there is a moving image on a flat object, what is that?" I didn't know what it was, so I had to say: "No matter what it is, as soon as you saw it, you thought that it might be your own fate?" Jin Dafu took a breath: "I have... such a feeling." I waved my hand: "You are not a good man or woman, why don't you destroy the picture you saw?" In an instant, Jin Dafu's eyes widened, and he lost his voice: "Is it useful? Is it useful to destroy the picture I saw?" I shook my head vigorously: "I don't know, but Sun Wukong once made a big disturbance in the underworld, and his name was erased from the book of life and death. From then on, he will never die again!" I'm talking about stories in novels, which shouldn't cause any particularly strong reactions, but since Jin Dafu had the experience of "going to the palace of the king of hell", his mental state is naturally different. For half a minute, he maintained the same posture, and then, with an expression of extreme remorse, reached out and slapped himself on the head hard, causing the two waitresses to exclaim. I hurriedly comforted him: "Don't be sorry, if it's useful, we have to go anyway, and then destroy it, there is still time!" When I said this, Jin Dafu became happy again. He took a big sip of wine, wiped the corners of his mouth with the back of his hand, and said triumphantly: "Gods and ghosts are afraid of evil people, there are also people who see me. They are not afraid at all, and even gods and ghosts can do nothing to me!" Things haven't really turned around yet, but just a little illusory hope, he showed the look of a villain, I snorted, ignored him, and closed my eyes on my own. Jin Dafu said something next to me again, but I didn't pay attention to it. At that moment, I had an extremely weird feeling.I am very sure that my body has not moved at all, I am still on the seat of the plane cabin, and next to me is the annoying Jin Dafu. However, I am very clear and sure that I am entering a place.Both feelings are so clear, as if I am suddenly split into two halves, producing two feelings, two thoughts. The strange feeling lasted for a very short time—once I had this feeling, I wanted to open my eyes and figure out what it was.From the time the brain gives the command to open the eyes to when the eyes actually open, it may not even take a hundredth of a second. However, I failed to open my eyes! This shows that I had that weird feeling for a very short time, and then, I heard a voice saying: "Ah, you are here too, just for you to have a look and tell you, I don't understand, I am Chen Lixue !" Chen Lixue's voice!And as soon as I heard his voice, I saw her too! It is impossible for anyone to suddenly appear in the cabin flying at an altitude of 10,000 meters, and Chen Lixue is no exception. As soon as I saw her, I didn't even see what was going on around me. I already knew what was going on! In fact, the surrounding area was very dark at this time. When I saw it, it was only darkness, but I could see Chen Lixue.She was wearing a light-colored dress, so in the dark, her figure could be vaguely seen. If I hadn't heard her say a few words first, saying that she was Chen Lixue, in this hazy environment Among them, I can't recognize who she is! At this time, although I suddenly fell into the illusion, my mind was still highly alert. The first thing I thought of was, eh, isn't Chen Lixue a deaf-mute?Why did he suddenly hear her voice? When I think this way, I feel that I am walking towards her-at first, I just feel that I am walking towards her, but after "feeling two steps away", I know that I am really walking towards her. Walking over, I was no longer in the cabin. What I walked and stepped on was definitely not a carpeted cabin aisle, but a road covered with bluestone slabs and a thick layer of fallen leaves. At the same time, my eyes have gradually adapted to the darkness. It can be seen that this road paved with bluestone slabs is in a forest. . It was only at the beginning that I felt that I had been transferred from the environment, and after I heard the voice claiming to be Chen Lixue, I knew what had happened!I know I'm back in ancient times!Just like Chen Lixue has returned to ancient times more than once, I have returned to ancient times! The amazing thing is that I know that I am back in ancient times, but I also know clearly that I am definitely not a person of this era. I have my own era, but I never ask myself, since I have my own era, why? Will go back to ancient times! This kind of narrative sounds a bit confusing, but it is very real.I also didn't ask myself what role I played back in ancient times, as if it was natural, something that must happen, must happen. In this state of mind, I at least understood one thing—I asked Chen Lixue more than once what role she played when she returned to ancient times, but she couldn't tell. At this time (or afterwards), if someone asked me the same question, I would not be able to answer it: What role did I play in ancient times?What role do I play in modern times?It should not be a problem, I am me, I have always been me, the one in the study is me, and the one from the study to the living room is naturally me, and I will not become someone else! (Perhaps this paragraph is a bit mysterious, because my experience at that time was indeed very mysterious.) I walked towards Chen Lixue, very calm, and my thoughts were very fresh and clear. I saw Chen Lixue wearing a large light-colored robe, the style was very simple, and it naturally looked primitive. I looked at myself, and I was also wearing the same light-colored robe . I looked up at the sky, and there were some stars visible in the sky, but there was no moonlight, so it was very dark all around.I'm sure time has shifted, but I'm still on Earth.Although there are not many stars, it is a starry sky that is used to and is familiar with. On other planets, the starry sky will probably not be so familiar.During those ten or so steps, I was thinking fast and thinking about many, many questions. I thought of Wang Jufeng and Gao Caihong who have the ability to travel in time. If they know "I'm coming", come and meet me at this time , what an interesting thing that is. Thinking of this, I naturally laughed. Chen Lixue asked: "What are you laughing at?" She spoke, uttered, and spoke exactly like a normal person, and her voice, which was slightly hoarse, was extraordinarily soft and pleasant.I lost my voice: "Ah, you can talk!" Chen Lixue smiled: "Do you believe it or not? I have entered this state many times, and I have no chance to speak at all. When I arrived just now, I saw you coming too, so I was able to speak naturally." I took a breath: "You saw me coming, where did you see me coming from?" When I ask this question, I naturally want to know how I "entered ancient times".Chen Lixue's answer stunned me for a moment, she answered very naturally, but her answer was the same as a very famous answer! She stretched out her hand and pointed behind me, and I turned my head to look at what she was pointing at, and saw that it was dark, and at this moment, I heard her reply: "Where did you come from." Come from where, go where to go. These were words full of Zen, but at this moment, they came out naturally from Chen Lixue's mouth. This is a language full of Zen, and it is necessary to say it casually in this way, so that the people who hear it will feel like a blow to the head. If it is deliberately prepared and arranged, it will become a verbal sword, how can it be deaf and enlightening? At the moment, I didn't turn around, but just looked at the darkness.Chen Lixue saw, where did I come from, and what is there?No matter where you are, it is where you came from, there is no difference, anyway, all people come from where they came from, and they must go to where they are going! The conversation between Li Shen and the monk of Guishan Temple in the Tang Dynasty was originally very Zen-like, but at this time, it came from the mouth of Chen Lixue, who has no mind, and the meaning is deeper. Originally, I was still thinking about many problems, such as why I suddenly changed from modern times to ancient times, etc., but now, I can put these problems aside!There is no difference, anyway, no matter what situation people are in, they come from where they came from, so you can feel at ease! I took a deep breath, turned around, and Chen Lixue was just asking: "Is there a force that affects your brain activity at the same time, so that we return to the same ancient time at the same time?"
