Chapter 5 Chapter Four: The Same Experience of Mountaineering Experts

(Jia Yuzhen's transformation from human to immortal is described in this book, and the process is extremely tortuous and interesting.) Chen Changqing shook his head: "No, no, it's completely different. Even a person who has mastered this ability cannot be regarded as a god." I said: "If the soul can travel at any time, and can break through the limit of death, then it is no different from a god." Chen Changqing smiled wryly: "If it's—" He suddenly sighed again: "Wesley, I really need your help." I said: "Of course, but you must always let me know what you need my help for."

Chen Changqing took a sip of wine: "I kept telling you to go to that wax museum, but you didn't go." I knew he was about to start describing his "adventurous encounter", so I nodded and said, "That's my fault, but you also have faults, your ability to describe is too poor." Chen Changqing went on talking on his own: "That night, I visited the Wax Museum at night, but...it didn't work. If it wasn't for the coincidence that someone sneaked in to help me at the same time, I was almost caught." I said: "Yes, that person has a lot of background, he is the most outstanding psychic medium, Animi, a member of the Non-Human Association."

Chen Changqing naturally also knew about the whole matter of the Wax Museum. His behavior that night, because Animi was not a talkative person, just said that he was "hands and feet", in fact he might be extremely embarrassed, so he didn't want to talk too much. Mention it, just skip it. He continued: "After I came back? But I've seen the photos here before and I've been thinking about the Wax Museum. What a coincidence, Bupin came to me suddenly." I said "ah": "Bupin, our mountaineering expert, how is he doing recently?" Chen Changqing complained: "Everyone is good except me. Of course he is very good. Whenever he has a chance... he climbs the mountain. When he comes, I naturally talk to him about all this. After he listened , with a rather queer look—"

The following is the meeting between Chen Changqing and mountaineering expert Bu Ping that night. After Chen Changqing talked about the situation of the wax museum, Bu Ping said "ah" with a surprised expression, and Chen Changqing hurriedly asked, "Have you visited it too?" Bupin shook his head: "No, but I've seen this kind of situation before. Well...in Sikkim, it's a little different, but it's basically very similar. People are like sculptures, and they can stay motionless for more than ten hours." Chen Changqing was very interested: "Is there really such a situation? In this way, the wax museum displays are all real people? No wonder it is so mysterious."

Bupin hesitated again: "I'm not sure, but what I saw is really strange." Bupin then told what he saw, which was exactly the same as what the thin man saw back then, but Bupin's reaction was different from that of the thin man, and Bupin also talked to the old man, but what he thought of was that this This ability will be very useful in the process of mountain climbing. The trick of life and death is in a harsh environment. If you can keep your body still, it will be very helpful to get through the dangerous situation. So the first sentence he asked was: "Mr., is there any way to keep the body still?"

The old man replied: "When your mind is completely still, your body will naturally be still." Buping has been climbing in the Himalayas for many years, and he knows many good lamas, and he is naturally very clear about how lamas practice.At that time, he asked: "Do you want to keep your mind free from distracting thoughts? Similar to monk's practice?" The old man smiled: "It's not very similar, the mind is completely still, it is a state of death." Bupin was completely confused, he said: "Old man, I don't understand, you were motionless just now, are you in a state of death?"

The old man was a little reluctant to continue: "Just now, did I look alive?" Bupin was also a little unconvinced: "Although you were motionless just now, you were obviously breathing and your heart was beating, so of course you can't be said to be dead." The old gentleman smiled: "Can that be called life? Sir, it seems that you don't know much about life and death." Bupin blushed a bit: "I want your advice." The old man looked at Buping, and the appearance of Buping was quite peculiar, and he was speaking extremely fluent local language, maybe this aroused the old man's favor, the old man said: "Yes, you Immediately let go of everything and wander around the world with me, and I will naturally tell you the tricks, bit by bit."

Bupin's reaction at that time was far worse than that of the "deadly skinny man". He not only hesitated, but also said: "I'm afraid I can't, I──" He said that he hadn't finished speaking, and the old man didn't let him think about it anymore, and said: "Then forget it." The old man didn't even make an appointment with him to meet again after many years, but just sighed: "Whenever you want to see me, you can come to Nalu Island." At that time, Bupin was extremely surprised. Sikkim and Nalu Island were not only separated by hundreds of thousands of miles, but also two places with completely different natures, so he only thought that the old man was joking with him.

Anyway, he didn't have much interest in things like life and death, so he agreed, said a few more words, and broke up with those people.Of course, he never thought about going to Nalu Island, but these people could not move for hours, which left a deep impression on him, so when Chen Changqing mentioned the weird wax museum, he remembered that encounter. After Buping told his story, Chen Changqing was very interested—he hadn't seen what the "skinny man" wrote at that time—and blamed him: "You should promise him and let him teach you this skill." Bupin said "Hey": "I don't know how many things to do, how can I follow him to learn this skill for many years."

A large number of stones were cut into thin slices. Chen Changqing was fascinated leisurely, and murmured: "Nalu Island? It's a small island. I would like to meet the old man. I think he must have more mysteries. His mind is still. The state of death is really interesting." He is a person who thinks of doing whatever he wants to do. After talking to himself for a while, he clapped his hands and said, "I will go tomorrow." Bupin laughed: "Although Nalu Island is small, it is not a desert island. How can you find him when you go like this?" Chen Changqing laughed "haha": "There are only seven or eight thousand people on the island, and they searched for them one by one, and found him too."

Seeing how confident he was, Bupin naturally had nothing to say.They knew each other because I introduced them, so, naturally, they mentioned me again, and Chen Changqing was very proud: "This time, Wesley will not be the first." Bupin said: "I think you may be very disappointed. It's mostly just meditation, or even self-hypnosis. It's no big deal. What is Wesley busy with?" Chen Changqing said: "Who knows, by the way, you didn't come to me to listen to my stories, right?" Bupin said: "Of course not, you have a very fine high-speed cutting machine? I want to ask you to help me cut something." Chen Changqing is very rich. If he thinks of what he wants, he can probably bring it home. Some time ago, when the patterns on the stones on the top of the hill could show what was going to happen, he got a very sophisticated The cutting machine cuts a large number of stones into thin slices for research.Later, the matter came to an end, and the cutting machine was naturally idle in the cellar of his house. He immediately agreed: "No problem, what do you want to cut? My machine has an alloy steel blade with a hardness of 9.9, which can cut almost any object." "It couldn't be better," said Buppin. As he spoke, he took out a wooden box and opened it. Inside the wooden box was a fist-sized object that looked like ore.Chen Changqing took it out with one hand, Bu Ping looked a little nervous, as if he was a little worried that the thing was in Chen Changqing's hand.Chen Changqing became very curious and asked, "What is this? What will happen after it is cut?" Bupin was angry: "After cutting it, a monkey will jump out and grow when it sees the wind." Chen Changqing couldn't help blinking: "To be honest." Bupin sighed: "You're all wrong, it's just a piece of ordinary ore, but it's just for personal reasons, you want to divide it into two halves." Chen Changqing didn't say anything else, took Buping into the cellar, started the cutting machine, and within half a minute, cut the piece of ore into two, and there was nothing unusual, and after returning it to Buping, Buping Just took it back into the box, said goodbye and left. (The ore in Bupin has nothing to do with this story, but something happened later, so I will mention it here in more detail.) After Buping left, Chen Changqing thought about his words again and again, and the more he thought about it, the more interesting he felt, and his heart itch all night. The girl on the beach squatted for a long time. Early the next morning, I booked a ticket and went straight to Nalu Island. Although Nalu is a small place, there is actually a Nalu Airlines with world-class service. When he arrived at Nalu Island and lived in a hotel in the central area, Chen Changqing realized that twenty-two square kilometers cannot be considered a small area, but he had to find a nameless person with no name and address among seven or eight thousand people. He only knew that he was not moving. It's not an easy job for a capable old man. Time passed day by day, and half a month later, he was so annoyed that he almost gave up. That afternoon, he passed by a beach and saw many people around him. He went over and saw a pitifully skinny little girl, eight or nine years old, squatting on the ground with her head in her hands, motionless. Many people around were looking at this little girl. Chen Changqing looked at it for a while, then asked the people around him: "What are you looking at?" A boy beside him pointed to the little girl: "See when she moves." When Chen Changqing heard it, his heart beat wildly, and he hurriedly said, "You mean, she... can stay still for a long time?" The boy said: "Yes, for one or two hours, it's like a stone, motionless." Chen Changqing was dancing with joy at that time, but it also attracted a lot of attention to him.He hurriedly walked over to the little girl, trying to push the little girl up so that he could ask her some questions. He knew that this little girl who could not move for a long time must have a lot to do with the old man Bupin mentioned.When he walked up to the little girl and stretched out his hand to push the little girl, several people shouted at him. Chen Changqing was taken aback, and looked up, several young people had already rushed over, and one of them, the strongest, pushed Chen Changqing away as soon as he stretched out his hand. Chen Changqing said angrily, "What are you doing?" The young man asked back, "What do you want to do?" Chen Changqing pointed to the little girl: "I have something to ask her." The young man said: "You can just ask, but you can't touch her." Chen Changqing's curiosity is really everywhere, he stared: "Why can't you touch it?" The young man sneered a few times with disdain: "She is the granddaughter of the old man Tianchi, if you dare to touch it, just touch it." Chen Changqing blinked: "Old man Tianchi, who is that...?" The young man ignored Chen Changqing. Chen Changqing was in a great mood because he had made a major discovery. He took out a stack of banknotes and patted them in his hands: "Tell me, I'll buy you a drink." As a result, the situation changed immediately. Chen Changqing was surrounded by five or six young people at once. Chen Changqing also wanted to see how long the little girl could stay still, but he was not in a hurry to talk to the little girl. He After walking about ten steps, he sat down on a pile of rocks by the sea, and those young people followed him step by step. Chen Changqing said: "Alright, tell me about the old man Tianchi." No one dared to say that several young people in the old man's house looked at each other with fear, and finally one of them stared at the banknote in Chen Changqing's hand, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said, "The old man in Tianchi is an old gentleman. On the island, sometimes not on the island. I don’t know when he came. Some people say that he came from a place far, far away. There are high mountains and a big lake on the top of the mountain. He is the old man of Tianchi." Chen Changqing expressed his satisfaction, and immediately gave the young man a banknote. The young man was very happy, and said: "The old man is more capable than his granddaughter. He can stay motionless from morning till night." At this moment, Chen Changqing was naturally sure that the old man Tianchi was the person he was looking for. He asked, "Where does the old Tianchi live?" But he asked this question several times, but no one answered. Judging by the expressions of those young people, it wasn't that they didn't know, but they didn't dare to say it when they knew.Chen Changqing counted three banknotes and raised his hand: "Whoever tells me, it belongs to him." A slender young man stretched out his hand and snatched the three banknotes, but ran away, shouting at the same time: "No one will tell you, you can ask the old man's granddaughter yourself." Chen Changqing wanted to chase the young man, but he was afraid that the little girl would get up and go away suddenly, and it would be difficult to find him again, so he had to watch the young man steal the money and run away in a hurry. He asked several times, but still no one answered, which made him even more curious.He asked again: "Who can tell me something else about the old man Tianchi." There were quite a few people answering this question. Some said that the old man in Tianchi had several children, and the older ones seemed to be around 30 years old.Some said that the old man did not speak at all.Some people say that the old man has very sharp eyesight, and if you take a look at him, you will feel terrified. These words were not of much use, but they did give Chen Changqing a little outline in his mind. He was sure that this Tianchi old man must be a very strange person. It is already a strange thing to live on the island for a long time. After he finished distributing the wad of banknotes in his hand, he heard the crowd watching the little girl shouting. He hurried over and saw the little girl stretching her hands and feet slowly and standing upright. The little girl was dark and thin, but her eyes were very clear, revealing an incomparable spirit and maturity, which made people feel that those eyes did not belong to a little girl. Chen Changqing hurried over, bent down, and asked, "Little sister, take me to see your grandfather, okay?" The little girl looked at Chen Changqing, ignored it, and walked away on her own. Chen Changqing was a bit boring, but he was a bit useless. He stretched out his hand, trying to pull the little girl's arm, but he just stretched out his hand. Going out, the little girl looked back at him again. There was an indescribable severity in the little girl's eyes, which made Chen Changqing involuntarily withdraw his hand. Unexpectedly, the little girl just glanced at him, didn't say anything, and continued to walk forward. Chen Changqing had no choice but to continue to follow behind, constantly saying: "Little girl, can you take me to see your grandfather?" The little girl didn't respond. They were walking along the seashore. After passing through a section full of gravel and rough terrain, the little girl stood still, and Chen Changqing also stood still quickly. The little girl said: " My grandpa isn't on the island." Chen Changqing hurriedly said: "It doesn't matter, I can wait for him." The little girl gave Chen Changqing a cold look: "You want to see my grandpa, what's the matter?" Although the other party was just a little girl, Chen Changqing didn't dare to neglect, and the little girl's question made him not know how to answer for a while, because he came here at this time, looking for the old man, It's just because of Buping's words, he doesn't know what the "Tianchi old man" is. It seems a little unreasonable to say that the old man came only for the ability to keep his body still for a long time. So, after thinking for a while, he said, "I have some difficult questions, and I want to ask his old man for advice." When he said this, he was both decent and ambiguous, and there was a lot of room for adapting to changes. The little girl listened, took a few steps forward, and sat down on a big rock, with her hands crossed knees, her strange eyes looking at the distant sea, and the voice she made was clearly childish, but what she said, But he was very old-fashioned: "If you have any doubts in your mind, just ask me." When Chen Changqing heard this, he was taken aback for a moment, wishing he could bump his head against a rock and die.He came so far away, but there will be such a situation in front of him, which is really unexpected. Just think about it, sometimes Chen Changqing is not convinced even by me, he humiliates the little girl because he feels that the little girl can take him to see that strange old man. But at this time, the little girl said such words. He was furious, of course he wouldn't do anything to the little girl, but he was ready to turn around and leave immediately. But at this moment, the little girl shot at him again with cold eyes, which made his heart move, thinking that the little girl could at least keep her body still for a long time, maybe it made sense. In a flash, his anger disappeared, and he said, "Okay, it's the same to ask you." He then told the situation in the wax museum. The little girl listened very attentively, but she still kept her hands together. Sitting with her knees hugged, but raised her head slightly upwards, motionless. The situation in the wax museum was quite complicated. Chen Changqing always believed that the other party was just a child, a nine-year-old child living on Nalu Island. Of course, it was impossible to know who Yue Fei, a celebrity in Chinese history, was, so he spoke very briefly. But no matter how succinct, he talked for about two minutes, and when he was halfway through, he noticed that the little girl didn't move at all, and she didn't even blink her eyes. The situation where the girl couldn't resist the strange moves seemed quite weird, and it was somewhat similar to that in the wax museum, but naturally there was no such bloody horror. After he finished speaking, he asked again: "It seems that those people all look like real people. I don't know if those people are like you, and they all have the ability to stay still for a long time?" The little girl was still sitting like a clay sculpture. Chen Changqing asked several times, and when he was feeling impatient, he saw her frowning gradually, panting slowly, licking her lips, and said: "Well, the wax figure The situation in the museum is very strange." Chen Changqing was taken aback by the little girl's words, "You have been to the wax museum" was about to blurt out, but then she realized that it was absolutely impossible, she must be based on her own description, Only then did she have a "strange" impression, although what she said sounded like she had been to that wax museum. The little girl said again: "No, it's different, those people in the wax museum are different from our situation──" Chen Changqing wanted to interrupt, but the girl suddenly raised her hand to stop him from speaking, and said: "Don't ask me what's going on with them, I don't know." Chen Changqing was suffocated: "Just now you said that you can ask you." The little girl said: "Yes, I have already answered your question. Their situation is very strange and different from ours." Chen Changqing snorted: "You don't know their situation, why you have this ability, and what does your ability represent, of course you know it?" The little girl said: "Of course." Chen Changqing said: "Okay, then, please tell me." The little girl sneered: "Why did I tell you?" Chen Changqing was stunned again, almost furious, he is usually a good talker, but at this time when he talked with the little girl, the little girl pushed back every sentence, which made him feel very constrained The feeling of bound feet. He was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed again: "Your grandfather──" The little girl simply interrupted him: "You don't understand anything, and it's useless to see my grandpa." As she spoke, she jumped off the rock. At this moment, Chen Changqing couldn't bear it anymore. Just as he was about to say something, the little girl spoke before him: "Go back quickly, your son is looking for you. Very anxious to find." When Chen Changqing saw her suddenly say such a sentence, he was angry and funny at the same time, and said "Pooh": "What nonsense are you talking about, I don't have any son." The little girl rolled her eyes: "Oh, that's not your son, I guessed wrong, yes, he doesn't look like you at all, with round head and big eyes, not like your monkey face." At this moment, Chen Changqing, I was really a little stunned: "Little...little sister, what are you talking about?" The little girl said: "There is a very beautiful boy of thirteen or fourteen looking for you, in a big and messy room. In the room, one corner of the room is full of books, and there is a big tiger skin." When Chen Changqing heard this, he was stunned as if he had been struck by lightning. He opened his mouth wide and couldn't speak. The "big and messy" room that the little girl said was his study, and the beautiful boy of thirteen or fourteen, whom the little girl mistakenly thought belonged to his son, was of course Wen Baoyu. In an instant, Chen Changqing's thoughts became extremely chaotic. How did the little girl know this?This is simply impossible.
At this point, Chen Changqing stopped and stared at me with wide eyes. To be honest, Chen Changqing's narration was not very interesting at the beginning. I already yawned a few times in a very rude manner, but when he said this, my spirit suddenly lifted. At that time, Chen Changqing didn't know what the little girl meant by saying that, but now that the situation has developed, with the long letter from "Skinny Man" and our own various assumptions, it can be said that things have a vague concept , coupled with the strange words of the little girl, the matter is already very clear. I lost my voice and said: "When you told her about the situation in the wax museum, she had been there, and, by the way, she went to your house to take a look, and saw Wen Baoyu anxiously waiting for you to come back." Chen Changqing let out a "heck", swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and still stared at me without making a sound. I felt a strange excitement. The ability that this little girl possesses is really an astonishing ability, and I said: "This is one of the possible situations. ’──Her body is in one place, but her mind can go to another place in a flash, which is an extraordinary supernatural power.” Chen Changqing responded with an "ahh" and said, "There is another possibility. She has the ability of 'Sky Eye' and can see everything thousands of miles away. That is a huge psychic power." I was about to mention this point, so when Chen Changqing said it, I nodded repeatedly: "Exactly, 'Mind Tour' and 'Sky Eye' can make people with this kind of supernatural power see scenery thousands of miles away, but It seems to be a little different, 'Shenyou' seems to go a step further, 'Tianyantong' is just a feeling of 'seeing', while 'Shenyou' is the feeling of actually being there." Chen Changqing took a deep breath: "Yes, my understanding is that 'Tianyantong' is like using a telescope to see a place in the distance, but 'Shenyou' has been there before." After he said this, we both fell silent and thought about each other. After a while, I said, "What kind of power do you think the little girl has mastered?" Chen Changqing's expression was full of confusion: "I don't know. At that time, I couldn't think of anything at all. Now, although I thought of it, I don't know...the real situation of the individual... If it is related to life and death, then I would rather believe Their ability is 'spirit out of body', which is 'supernatural power', not 'celestial eye'." I took a deep breath: "There are such capable people in the world." Tianchi was actually Tengger Lake. Chen Changqing blushed with excitement: "And there is more than one, the old man Tianchi, those young people, that little girl, it seems that they all have such abilities, Wesley, this... this... But never let it go." For a while, I didn't know how to make a decision, so I waved my hands indiscriminately, and after a while I said: "You stayed on Nalu Island for nearly three months, and what happened later, let's talk about it before you do it." Intend." Chen Changqing nodded vigorously: "Okay, okay."
At that time, Chen Changqing stared blankly at the little girl, and the little girl looked at Chen Changqing with a look of "now you know I'm not an ordinary person". After a while, Chen Changqing stammered: "I don't understand, I simply don't understand." The little girl said: "I told you a long time ago, you won't understand." At this time, Chen Changqing, partly because of confusion, and partly because the little girl's words sounded reasonable, so his contempt had long gone, and he asked very respectfully: "Excuse me...your ability ...is it all taught by your grandfather Tianchi old man?" The little girl has been answering fluently, but at this moment, she thought about it and said: "You can say yes, or you can say no." Chen Changqing felt unpredictable and profound in her words, and at this time, he didn't think about such big topics as "spirit out of body", "spiritual travel", and "sacred eyes". He only thought that the little girl was weird enough, so he asked again: "Old man Tianchi, the name is so strange, where is Tianchi from?" The little girl said casually: "It's Tengger Lake, the local people know him: the old man Tianchi." At this moment, Chen Changqing was shocked again. Tengger Lake!He really couldn't believe that a little girl on Nalu Island would know that there was a place in the world called Tengger Lake. Of course Chen Changqing knew that Tengger Lake is located in Tibet, with an altitude of nearly 5,000 meters. It is a veritable Tianchi Lake, and its area is almost 2,000 square kilometers, which is 90 times that of Nalu Island. However, what surprised Chen Changqing was still behind. After the little girl said the name of Tengger Lake, she suddenly hummed a ditty. What, I only heard three words repeated: "Nam Co", these three words, Chen Changqing knows, it is Tengger Lake in Tibetan.That is the meaning of Tianchi. Chen Changqing was stunned for a long time. At this time, of course he already knew that the old man Tianchi came from Tibet. Tibet is the most mysterious place. Lamas and wise men in Tibet have been exploring the mysteries of life for many years. Buping once met the old man Tianchi in Gantuo, the capital of Sikkim. Sikkim is adjacent to Tibet, and the little girl may also come from Tibet. She naturally knows Tengger Lake, and she should also be able to sing Tibetan tunes. After the little girl finished humming the ditty, he asked, "Are you from Tibet?" The little girl laughed when her soul left her body for reincarnation: "Of course it's from my hometown." Chen Changqing was still very puzzled, because the little girl looked like a local aborigine, not a Tibetan. The local aborigines belonged to the Micronesians, and had the distinctive characteristics of the races on the South Pacific islands, and they were similar to Tibet. Human beings are markedly different in appearance. Chen Changqing was puzzled while smiling: "I thought you were born and raised on the island, look at your appearance──" The little girl turned her nose and let out a "hum": "I told you, you won't understand."
When Chen Changqing said this, I suddenly shouted: "Chen Changqing, you are so stupid." Chen Changqing smiled bitterly: "If you think about it now, of course it's easy to think of the core of the problem, but how could I have thought of it in such a situation at that time?" I said, "Okay, what are you thinking of now?" Chen Changqing took a breath: "That little girl is not the granddaughter of the old man Tianchi at all, she is a little girl born and raised on Nalu Island, but she is a Tibetan, maybe the reincarnation of someone who has a close relationship with the old man Tianchi, Just like the reincarnation of the living Buddha in Tibet, this is why the old man Tianchi has a residence on Nalu Island." I also took a deep breath, because what Chen Changqing said was exactly what I thought. Things are really getting more and more complicated, first there is the breakthrough of life and death, then there is the supernatural power of the soul leaving the body, and now there is the phenomenon of reincarnation. But no matter how many changes, in fact, the problem is still only around the mystery of life, the change between the body and the soul. Stillness of mind and stillness of body is death, the temporary separation of soul and body. The soul can be temporarily separated from the body, and naturally it can go where it wants to go as it pleases. And if the soul is separated from the body, it can naturally undergo changes such as reincarnation. Therefore, all changes lead to the same goal. There is only one real abnormal phenomenon, and the soul can leave the body. Chen Changqing and I summed up the matter, and both of us felt dumbfounded. The old man Tianchi and the people around him actually have such abilities. Chen Changqing couldn't help panting: "That killer, he is smarter than me, he must have thought of this, so he wrote down the story seriously, so that people can go to Tianchi old man if they have a chance." He paused, and then said: "A Tibetan, may the soul reincarnate and go to Nalu Island?" I said: "It should be possible. The psychic, Animi, a member of the Non-Human Association, once told me a story. One of his good friends was reincarnated from Jakarta to a caveman tribe in the hinterland of New Guinea. The present Dalai Lama Thirteen passed away in Lhasa, and the Fourteenth Dalai Lama was found in a tent on the grasslands of Qinghai."
