Chapter 7 Chapter 6 The Man Standing Upright in the Center of the Room

Naturally, that was also the reason why Chen Changqing saw a scene that surprised him after halfway opening the door. I turned around immediately, after Chen Changqing bumped into me, he was still shaking and couldn't stand upright, I quickly supported him first, and suddenly remembered that when he visited the Wax Museum at night, he was probably panicked like this.I looked into the door he pushed open. Inside the door was the same room, the light was so dark that one could only see an upright object in the middle of that room, but it could be seen immediately that it was an upright person.

I already thought that there would never be anyone in the stone house, but when I saw someone suddenly, I was naturally surprised, even I couldn't help being stunned. The upright person, with his back to the door, his standing posture is not strange, just standing upright, but the posture of his hands is quite strange, his hands are raised high above his head, the ten fingers of both hands, fingertips are touching each other, standing There, motionless. It was a little bewildering to make such a discovery all of a sudden.But I quickly calmed down: "I'm sorry, we don't know anyone here at all. We found this place based on the address that the old man in Tianchi left for a friend."

I was talking at the door, and the man was still standing motionless with his back to the door. It didn't look like a person at all, but a statue.At this time, I also saw clearly that the person was wearing a dark gray wide robe, which looked very strange, not like a monk's robe. Chen Changqing also regained his composure, and said in a low voice: "He didn't move at all, it seems that he is in... a state of complete stillness." During Chen Changqing's speech, he paused. I knew he originally wanted to say "in the state of death", so he changed it temporarily.

There is really no difference between "complete stillness" and "death". Doesn't "death" represent complete stillness? I took a deep breath and was about to walk into the room, but as soon as I moved, Chen Changqing grabbed me and said in a low voice, "Have you forgotten what the 'skinny man' wrote? When you are in the state, it is related to the mysteries of life and death, don't get close to them." I said: "We try not to get close to him, we have to go into the room to have a look." Chen Changqing was very nervous: "Okay, let's walk in against the wall."

That person stood in the center of the room, and naturally walked into the room against the wall, which was the best way to keep a distance from this person. With our backs against the wall, we moved sideways, walked into the room, and soon came to the front of the man.It can be vaguely seen that it is a man in his thirties, his eyes are open, but his whole body is completely still. That situation is exactly the same as the one seen in the wax museum in Miduan on the surface, but only those who have experienced the two situations at the same time will know how different they are in essence.

Yes, the same stillness, but completely different. Complete stillness is like the stillness in the Wax Museum of Death, which is tense. There is an extreme sense of movement in the stillness, which is an interception of a moment in motion. That kind of movement can make people feel extremely shocked. But at this time, the stillness of this man is real stillness, and even gives people the feeling of eternal stillness. It is a complete stillness, just like death. And Chen Changqing and I immediately understood: that is death, a death that can be controlled by oneself. We all hold our breath, we know that there is such a situation, but knowing that there is such a situation from other people's descriptions, and seeing it for ourselves are two completely different feelings.

Now, is this person in front of him dead or alive?Of course he was alive, but he was in a state of death. At this time, the first thing I thought of was: What does it mean to be still?If thought represents the soul, then what is the state of the person's soul at this time, and how is it different from real death? This is an extremely mysterious question. Although I have experienced contact with souls several times, all of them have gone through the process of real death. I have never experienced such a strange and inexplicable situation that I can't even imagine. . We stared at that person for an unknown amount of time. All kinds of problems were circling in our minds, all of which had to be solved by that person, but that person remained in such a posture, motionless, and he didn't even blink his eyes.

Our eyes are getting better at adapting to the darkness, and we can see the person's face more clearly. The man has a very tough face, not tall, looks quite handsome, with dark skin, judging from his raised arms, he is a very strong and powerful person.His hair was short and bristly, as thick as a black hat. He is of course Asian, and he also has the characteristics of the mountain people, so it can also be assumed that he is Tibetan. After a long time, at least an hour, the man remained motionless. Chen Changqing and I looked at each other, both of us had the same intention, and felt that we should not disturb him, so we moved against the wall and walked out of the room.

As soon as he left the room, Chen Changqing said: "Of course this person belongs to Tianchi old man's group. When will he come back to life?" Chen Changqing didn't need to "wake up", but "come back to life", which naturally sounds weirder. I smiled wryly: "Who knows." Chen Changqing said: "Wait?" I said, "Of course, I can't wake him up." Chen Changqing's expression was extremely excited: "It's incredible." I'm not as excited as him: "Everything, up to now, is just our imagination. What is the real situation, we have to wait for the person upstairs to wake up and explain to us—if he is willing to explain to us."

Chen Changqing rubbed his hands and continued his excitement: "If I learn this skill, I can really do anything." Chen Changqing, who is sensitive to the sound of the round stone house, continued: "Bronze walls and iron walls can't stop souls from entering and leaving. 'Mind tour' is really, really exciting." I glanced at him: "Yeah, using your soul, you can pry into any secrets, and you can become the person who knows the most inside information, or the ghost who knows the most inside information." Chen Changqing was a little annoyed: "Why are your eyes so shallow? I can use my soul to explore the past and future of human beings. Who knows what kind of existence the soul is. It is very possible that it can be free in all spaces. Come and go, after having this supernatural power, then...then..."

He tilted his head, unable to think of an appropriate adjective.I also can't think of it, if a person has such an ability, what should he be called, God?Fairy?Demon?magic?In short, he is no longer a human being.Or, basically everyone can have this ability, but for some reason, this ability of human beings has disappeared for a long time, and only a few people still exist? This is really a lock related to the mystery of life and death. It seems that there is a key that can open this lock. Chen Changqing didn't continue talking, and I didn't say anything because my thoughts were confused. We walked in the upstairs corridor silently, and before we knew it, we went downstairs again.At that time, both of us were lost in thought, our footsteps moved subconsciously, and we didn't know when we entered the round part of the stone house again. And the reason I knew we had reached the circular part of the stone house again was when I suddenly heard my own heartbeat.People always have the experience of hearing their own heartbeat, but it is the first time for me that the heartbeat sounds so clear and loud. When I suddenly heard my own heartbeat, I couldn't help being stunned, and when I raised my head, I happened to see Chen Changqing looking towards me with a look of astonishment on his face. His expression told me that he, like me, also heard his own strange heartbeat: he wanted to speak, but I didn't wait for him to speak, and immediately made a gesture to signal him not to say anything. At this time, the stone house was extremely quiet, perhaps because of the silence and the peculiar architecture of the stone house—when I just entered, I said a word, which caused bursts of echoes. Knowing that the round stone house is particularly sensitive to sound, that's why I can hear my heartbeat so clearly. When I was thinking this way, Chen Changqing showed a slightly enlightened expression, first turned his head to think for a while, then sat down on the ground, crossed his legs, and at the same time motioned me to do the same. I just felt that even if Chen Changqing didn't tell me to do so, I would still sit cross-legged. In such a quiet environment, I could hear my own heartbeat so clearly, and such incredible mysterious questions lingered in the back of my mind. Under such circumstances, people will naturally think of a static posture, and sitting cross-legged is the most common static posture. The sound and scene perfectly matched me and I sat down. At first, I was still looking at each other with Chen Changqing. After a while, I closed my eyes naturally, but it was definitely not falling asleep, but my thinking was very clear. After a while, I felt that I heard a lot of strange things. Sounds, and these weird sounds all come from within my own body, the sound of heartbeat, breathing, the gurgling sound of the intestines, and even the sound of blood flowing, I can feel it── Not to mention hearing the sound of blood flowing in his body, because that is really impossible, but it is real, and there is a feeling of blood flowing. This is really a strange and inexplicable phenomenon. No matter how quiet the environment is, it is impossible to hear so many sounds from the body.I was thinking, it must be because of the special sound gathering effect of the construction of the stone house. While listening to so many strange sounds coming out of my body, I gradually felt a very wonderful feeling. Because that feeling was unprecedented, it was also very indescribable. At the beginning, all the sounds were indeed coming from the inside of the body, but after a while (I don’t know how long it took, because of the wonderful feeling, I had already concentrated on experiencing that feeling, and completely forgot about the time), The sound gradually expanded, leaving the range of the body.In terms of hearing, it is still so clear, but the feeling is different. The sound of breathing, it sounds like the sound of wind, the sound of heartbeat, it sounds like the impact of unknown objects, the sound of blood flow, it sounds like there is a clear stream flowing not far from the body, and the sound of cooing , like a stream of rocks, there are frogs singing. When I think of the flowing water in a brook, my whole body is really like lying on the edge of a brook, enjoying the breeze blowing, and all the sounds are all in harmony with this environment. After a while, my thoughts changed. For some unknown reason, I suddenly thought of the melting of mountain snow, so, all of a sudden, the sound I heard matched the scenery I thought of. The fallen snow merged into a stream of water flowing down, sometimes passing the hanging rocks, and then dripping down, making a ticking sound. The sound of the wind was still the same, but it was no longer the breeze by the stream, but the wind blowing over the rocks. Strong wind. The sounds that originally came from the body turned into all the sounds in nature, but my whole body was surrounded by these sounds, as if I was in the environment formed by these sounds, and, more amazingly, the environment You can change completely according to your own thoughts, for a while, you are beside the clear stream, for a while, you are on the top of the mountain, and for a while, you are on the shore of the sea again. In the past, I also received strict training in "Qigong", and I also had the experience of sitting in meditation for a long time, and even had the experience of getting rid of all distracting thoughts, similar to Zen meditation, but the feeling is completely different from now. That wonderful feeling is as if the person has left his body, or the body suddenly becomes infinitely larger, while the person's thoughts are moving within the enlarged body. A person who does not move wakes up (that is a very indescribable feeling, so in terms of description, the text may be a bit messy, it is not very easy to understand, but I have tried my best, I hope I can read it a few times, I will Have a little more experience.) When I thought of the point "I have left my body", I couldn't help shaking suddenly. That shock pulled my thoughts back, as if I had left my body and returned to it, and I opened my eyes at that moment. Of course I was still in the round part of the stone house, and I was still sitting cross-legged. The light in the room was very dark, but because I got used to it, I could see Chen Changqing, who was still sitting with his eyes closed, motionless. When I saw Chen Changqing like this, I couldn't help feeling a sudden movement in my heart: Did I also stay motionless like this just now?Doesn't this kind of motionless situation seem to be the state of Tianchi elders and the others in "fugue wandering" or "controllable death"? It seems that this part of the stone house must be very helpful to the "practice" process. Otherwise, why are you just speculating on everything? It can be said that Chen Changqing and I, who know nothing about it, will naturally enter into such a situation. In a wonderful realm that has never been experienced before? I was thinking quickly, and in the extreme silence, I heard footsteps coming down from upstairs.There is a motionless person in the upstairs room, has he woke up? When the footsteps were getting closer, I was considering whether to remind Chen Changqing that he had opened his eyes suddenly, with a look of doubt and surprise on his face. From his expression, I can deduce that his wonderful experience is mostly the same as mine.I gestured to him and pointed out the door. At this time, footsteps had come to the door, and the door was slowly opened. The man we met upstairs seemed to be full of energy, with piercing eyes, and even in the dark, His eyes were also extremely radiant.The man gestured to us to leave the round part of the stone house and go outside. Chen Changqing and I hurriedly stood up and walked outside. The man's attitude was very friendly, and he didn't seem to be displeased with us breaking into the stone house at all. There was always a friendly smile on his handsome face. He closed the door softly. Although his movements were very careful, he still made some noises. The echo caused by that sound could still be faintly heard after the door was closed. Before we could speak, the man said: "The place you were at just now is not very suitable for talking, so please come out and sit down." Like Chen Changqing, I don't know how many questions I have in my heart. It doesn't matter if I sit or not. Chen Changqing first said impatiently: "It is very sensitive to sound, can you amplify the small sound?" The man smiled: "Yes, even small voices will reverberate there." The man who spoke interestingly and convincingly said: "But if you feel the expansion of your voice, it is because you are thinking this way." We were a little confused, and the man made another gesture, asking us to sit down, and he sat down himself: "People's thoughts are completely unlimited, when you want to know something, you will feel something. " I took a breath: "Although I said that, under ordinary circumstances, it's one thing to think about it, but it's another thing to really have such an exact feeling." The man smiled again: "Of course, if you really want to feel what you think, you have to go through a certain training process. Just now, you two—" Next, he told us how we felt in the circular part of the stone house just now. As he said, we kept nodding because he told the situation exactly. Chen Changqing asked after he finished speaking, "How do you know?" That humanity: "Almost everyone, there, has been affected by the special environment, and the experience is the same." I asked again: "Is that place...is it specially used for training some kind of ability?" The man said: "It can be said that, in fact, there is nothing special. Many things need the help of a special environment. If you want to keep fit, it is always better to do it in the gym. If you want to practice Zen, naturally it is more suitable in a quiet meditation room. The ancient Buddha with the blue lamp makes people feel the idea of ​​becoming a monk, and the flowing water and clouds can teach people to flourish in poetry." The man spoke very interestingly. He cited four examples at once, from fitness to poetry, which seemed completely irrelevant, but they had a strange persuasive power. Chen Changqing and I asked in unison: "So, may I ask, what kind of ability is it set up there for training?" The man had been answering fluently all the time, but for this question, he felt it was a bit difficult to answer. After thinking for a while, he said: "The two of you can come here, I think you already have your own ideas. answer." Chen Changqing and I looked at each other, yes, we have many ideas, so in the next half hour, we expressed all the ideas we had. The man just listened attentively all the time and didn't interrupt our conversation. When we finished speaking, the man showed quite a surprised expression and let out a long breath: "You two really think a lot, I think you two are not ordinary people, can I ask your name?" The man had already talked a lot since meeting us. Indeed, the two sides had never had the simplest introduction. At this moment, he suddenly asked his name. Although it was a bit abrupt, it was reasonable. I said my name to Chen Changqing, and the man stood up with an "ah", and held my hand very warmly, and then said with a smile on his face, "It turned out to be Mr. Wei, really, I have several friends, more than I mentioned you once, really, really..." The non-human association gave a lot of toast. He didn't seem to know how to word it, so Chen Changqing picked it up: "Is it true that you have eyes but don't see Mount Tai?" I glared at Chen Changqing, but the man laughed, his smile was very straightforward and innocent: "Yes." I am a little ashamed, because we know nothing about the whole mystery, and we have so many questions to ask him for advice. I said: "A few friends of your Excellency, they are—" The man hurriedly said, "One is Mr. Animi, and the other is Mr. Duanna." When I heard the names of these two people, I couldn't help being stunned.Animi is an excellent psychic with a super talent in communicating with souls.And Tanner is a detective with miraculous abilities. And more importantly, these two people are members of the "Non-Human Association", so this person in front of him is by no means an ordinary person. Chen Changqing also knew Animi and Duanna, so he dared to ask immediately: "Excuse me, what is your name—" The man smiled shyly: "Actually, I don't have any special skills, but... just pretending. My name is Jin Wei. I grew up in Xikang, China, by the Yegerang Lake. I am not a Tibetan. I They are from the Yi nationality." By saying this, he has naturally shown his identity, and he is also a member of the Non-Human Association. However, I have never heard of the name Jin Wei, and Chen Changqing doesn't seem to know it either.Mostly because of asking for others, Chen Changqing was actually good at coping with it: "There is no member of your club who is not an outstanding stranger. We are ignorant, so we have never heard of your name." As he spoke, he also gave me a look, with the meaning of "what kind of character are you, Wesley", in his eyes, which made me both annoyed and funny. Jin Wei hurriedly said: "It's easy to say, because I have been active in the Kangzang area for a long time, I rarely see the outside world, and most of my time is spent in the Lama Temple, which is almost isolated from the world." Chen Changqing feared that he would not be able to catch him, and said repeatedly: "That is the most mysterious place in the world, Your Excellency must be very cultivated." I shrugged my shoulders, indicating that Chen Changqing didn't need to be like this, and Chen Changqing blushed a little. Jin Wei said a few more polite words, "The old man Tianchi is a wise man in the Iron Horse Temple." He mentioned the old man Tianchi all at once, which made our heart beat a little faster involuntarily.We nodded repeatedly, expressing our understanding of what "a wise man in the Iron Horse Temple" is. Tiema Temple is a very large-scale lama temple at the junction of Kangzang. In the temple, there are not only many lamas with deep cultivation, but also many wise men. Wise men come from all over the world. In Tiema Temple, they have studied various knowledge for many years. , Most of them are related to Buddhism, and also involve a lot of metaphysical knowledge. Most of these wise men have lived in the Iron Horse Temple for decades, and their research may have ended with no results at all. There are three kinds of reincarnation situations, but it is also possible that they have accumulated superhuman wisdom and knowledge, but they are also rarely known, because their purpose is only to pursue knowledge, not to be famous. Among the wise men, there are some people with extraordinary talents and abilities. The old man Tianchi is a wise man in the Iron Horse Temple. That is not surprising, but it is taken for granted. Jin Wei said again: "The knowledge he originally studied was 'reincarnation'. This knowledge is very profound. Everyone knows that there is a phenomenon of reincarnation, but no one knows the truth." I interjected: "Not everyone knows or believes in the existence of reincarnation." Jin Wei made a gesture: "I mean, people like us should all affirm the phenomenon of reincarnation." Chen Changqing made another mistake: "Yes, yes, ordinary people are certainly not the exception, and there are still people who don't even understand why there is thunder and lightning." Jin Wei smiled: "The old man Tianchi has a very deep research on the phenomenon of reincarnation. He can even point out the place where the reincarnated person was born without any mistakes. There are lamas in the Iron Horse Temple who passed away, and he can know where they will be reincarnated. place." Chen Changqing said: "I once saw a little girl──" Jin Wei said: "Yes, she is the reincarnation of a lama. There are three kinds of reincarnation situations. Most of the one situation is that the reincarnation has no memory of the previous life, and can't remember it for the rest of her life. The second One is that there is no memory of the previous life at birth, but the memory of the previous life will gradually come back, and when he becomes an adult, he will completely remember the events of the previous life. There are memories of previous lives.” He explained the phenomenon of "reincarnation" in great detail. Although I felt that what he said was a bit off topic from what we wanted to know, I thought there must be a reason for what he said, so I didn't interrupt him. Chen Changqing was in high spirits after listening to everyone: "The best situation is naturally the third one?" Jin Wei shook his head: "No, it's the second type. Because the structure of a child's body is very weak, a child born with memories of a previous life will have to endure abnormal pain for quite a long period of time. Moreover, in many places , a child who is born with the memory of the previous life will be regarded as a kind of monster, which is very shocking." Chen Changqing hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, the best situation is the second." Jin Weidao: "The purpose of Tianchi old man's research is to control all reincarnation situations to the second situation. He has been researching continuously. As far as I know, he has spent at least fifty years in the Iron Horse Temple." Chen Changqing suddenly dropped a sentence: "Oh, this is called the Haoshouqiongjing." Jin Wei obviously didn't understand this sentence, and Chen Changqing explained proudly: "That is to say, in order to understand the meaning of the scriptures, people study it until their heads are covered with gray hair." Jin Wei sighed: "Yes, in order to study reincarnation, one must have a certain degree of contact with the soul." Jin Wei said again: "The human body can have a certain degree of contact with the soul, but it is not as good as the direct contact between the soul and the soul, and can communicate with each other." I felt that he was gradually coming to the point.Chen Changqing was even more eager. Jin Weidao: "The study of learning is one link after another. In order to achieve this goal, Tianchi old man must study the soul. He is a man full of wisdom. When he first asked the most qualified lamas in the Iron Horse Temple, When it comes to Buddhism's "Tianyantong", it is a process when the human soul leaves the body, goes to a distant place, and transmits everything "seeing" back to the brain. Even the most qualified old lama, I was also taken aback." I took a breath: "The idea of ​​the old man Tianchi is very reasonable." Jin Wei said: "Those lamas have exhausted their strength for ten years to practice 'Sky Eye'. Some of them have achieved certain results, but they can do it without knowing the reason. At that time, I remember quite a lot of dialogue between the two sides. Clearly, because I happened to be there at the right time." Jin Wei is a person who doesn't like to express himself. He said "it's just the right time", which is naturally just a self-deprecating word. In fact, he has been the assistant of the old man in Tianchi for quite some time. What happened in the Iron Horse Temple that day must be described in more detail.
The scale of the Iron Horse Temple is very large.The houses are stacked on top of each other according to the mountain, and the senior lamas all have their own corner yards without being disturbed by others.Only a famous and wise man like Tianchi old man can invite four old lamas together to discuss a problem. In the corner of the large courtyard where the wise man lived and studied, the old man Tianchi had a building dedicated to him under a rather huge protruding cliff.That building is quite strange. I don't know which lama or a wise man built it at the beginning—because the house is under the boulder, it has no roof, and the roof is the bottom of the boulder. The reason why Tianchi old man chose this house was also because of this, when he raised his head, he could see the uneven rocks.For ordinary people, stones are naturally lifeless, but wise men have their own ideas. He believes that the life of every stone can be traced back to tens of millions of years ago, which is shorter than human beings or all living things. Life is long and you don't know how much it is. Therefore, looking up at huge rocks is also helpful for thinking about the mysteries of life.On that day, old man Tianhu, four lamas with high status in the Iron Horse Temple, and Jin Wei gathered together in a room in that building. It was almost dusk, and the sun slanted in from the window. In the room, a hazy golden yellow was projected.Although the light of the setting sun is brilliant, it is fading rapidly, and the light is gradually dimming. All the people kept silent, waiting for the darkness to come. Most of the lamas and wise men in the Iron Horse Temple have the habit of meditating in the dark, thinking that in the dark, people can even think about all mysterious and inexplicable things. Thoughts travel far away, human instincts, they are all waiting for the darkness to come. When the sky was getting dark, the old man Tianchi spoke first: "Everyone has a lot of research on 'Sky Eye', and I have also been involved in it myself. I really want to share the details of this supernatural power with you." After the old man in Tianchi said the "opening remark", there was another period of silence. A lama, called Wusan Lama, said: "That is one of the magical powers of the Buddhist family. There are various great magical powers in the Buddhist family. If you practice, you will be successful, and I will be able to quietly observe the world's affairs far and near, and everyone here can do it." The old man Tianchi said in a deep voice: "Yes, but have you ever thought that the reason why a person can see things far and near in a quiet corner is because the soul has left the body? When performing supernatural powers, the soul is not in the body." As soon as these words came out, even though they were all lamas with very high self-cultivation, they all couldn't help being shocked. They all used this kind of supernatural power, but they never associated it with the soul. After a while, Wusan Lama, who has the deepest supernatural powers, still spoke: "I don't feel the feeling of the soul leaving the body. If the soul can leave the body at any time, it is a 'spiritual journey', a higher state, beyond our ability. attainable." The old man Tianchi insisted: "The two are the same." None of the lamas said anything, obviously they all need to think about what the old man Tianchi said. The old man Tianchi said again: "For the phenomenon of 'mind wandering', it is generally believed that there is a specific image or a specific thing that leaves the body, but in fact, it is nothingness, that is, our thoughts. Even an ordinary person, there is no With no cultivation base, wherever his thoughts want to go, he can reach his goal in an instant—” Several lamas made some voices of disapproval. The old man Tianchi hurriedly said: "Of course, the travel of ordinary people's thoughts is quite different from that of people who have practiced before, but the essence is the same. It is because everyone has this instinct, so after practice Only after that can one reach higher realms, if human beings do not have this instinct at all, all supernatural powers will be impossible." Lama Wusan sighed: "Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats all came from humans, which makes sense." The old man Tianchi was supported by his mind, and his voice became louder: "So, among us—" When he said this, he glanced at Jin Wei and shook his head—out of the few people in the room, only Jin Wei hadn't mastered any form of supernatural power.He also said: "The supernatural powers we have mastered are all caused by our thoughts and the effect of the soul leaving the body," The room was still very quiet, the old man in Tianchi raised his hand and pointed forward: "For example, when I stretch out my finger, my thoughts already have the destination I want to go. No matter how far away, the path of thought is straight forward. , This is something anyone can do, and what we can do is that our soul can follow the route of thought to reach the other shore in an instant."
