Origin Chapter 23: Paranormal phenomenon
"This, this, the experts on this issue don't seem to have given an explanation." Wu Zhongyuan said, he has to admit that Wang Xinran's perspective on the problem is indeed different, and other questions are explained by science, but the villagers often see The detail of a woman crying on a grave was ignored.
“They can’t explain it either,” Wang Xinran said with a smile. This guy has never laughed seriously. Every time he smiles, he almost always looks contemptuous, and this time is no exception. Damn."
"How do you say?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.
Wang Xinran replied, "On the surface, this kind of program serves two birds with one stone. It not only satisfies the curiosity of the people, but also carries out materialistic science education, which pleases the people and entertains the people. In fact, this is all their wishful thinking. Thinking, this kind of show is easy to be self-defeating, once the explanation is unreasonable, it will have a counterproductive effect, just like this show just now, painting a tiger is not an anti-dog.”
Wu Zhongyuan was a little surprised, not because of the show he just watched, but because Wang Xinran never spoke much, and there were very few such long speeches.
Wang Xinran did not stop there, but gave another example, "There are still three or four years of Yingkou falling dragon incident. Several domestic media have carried out investigation reports, and the final investigation result is that it is not a dragon. The bones of the minke whale are the bones of the minke whale, and the mandible bone of the minke whale is inserted into the eye socket of the skull, so that the bones of the minke whale look more similar to the keel photographed in the past, and then it is concluded that the fall of Yingkou in that year is not the same. It is not a dragon, but a minke whale. In fact, those who are attentive will find that in the photo taken back then, the eye sockets of the dragon are empty, and the horns of the dragon are on the head of the dragon."
The example cited by Wang Xinran is not uncommon. Almost everyone who studies archaeology has heard of it. After Wang Xinran finished speaking, Wu Zhongyuan asked, "Do you mean that the incident of the falling dragon in Yingkou was true?"
Wang Xinran didn't hide it, and nodded happily, "It's true, but it's not a real dragon, but a Jiaolong."
"How do you know such details?" Wu Zhongyuan asked in confusion.
"Because I have seen the remains of the Flood Dragon, if you want to see it, I can show you this time." Wang Xinran said.
Wu Zhongyuan originally wanted to ask Wang Xinran why he told him this, but after hearing what Wang Xinran said, he didn't ask any more, because Wang Xinran's motives were obvious. After the winter vacation, follow her to the headquarters obediently. The second is to give him some information in advance, so as not to be surprised when he sees something rare and strange after going to the headquarters.
This is the time for group discussion. Looking around, Wu Zhongyuan asked in a low voice, "Have you ever seen a living dragon?"
Wang Xinran shook his head, "No, I've only seen two skeletons. Apart from the one I just mentioned, the other one was found by the Songhua River in four or four years."
Wu Zhongyuan thought for a while, then asked in a low voice, "Does your department specialize in dealing with these matters?"
"That's right, but we are divided into several departments and are responsible for different affairs." Wang Xinran yawned, and the other girls covered their mouths when they yawned.
When Wang Xinran finished yawning, Wu Zhongyuan asked cautiously, "Hey, do you think there are ghosts in this world?"
"No," Wang Xinran shook his head, "the idea that ghosts are idealists, we don't believe this, but after death, some residual energy will remain in a special form for a period of time. This has been scientifically verified."
Wu Zhongyuan became curious, "Are there aliens in the world?"
"I really don't have that." Wang Xinran shook her head again.
"Then do you believe in wormholes and time-space tunnels?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again.
"I believe, but this is just a conjecture of general relativity. The current science and technology cannot control time artificially," Wang Xinran said casually, "In fact, all supernatural phenomena can be explained by science, but now The science and technology of China has not yet developed to the point where it can explain all paranormal phenomena.”
After Wang Xinran finished speaking, she vaguely noticed something, "Why are you asking this?"
"It's nothing, just ask." Wu Zhongyuan casually said, his true origin Wang Xinran will know sooner or later, but he doesn't want Wang Xinran to know this too soon.
Wang Xinran was not satisfied with Wu Zhongyuan's answer, but when the bell rang after class, she didn't ask any further questions, and got up and went out to smoke.
Wu Zhongyuan also packed up and left the classroom, but instead of going to the dormitory, he went to the adjacent teaching building to find Cui Fang from the Fine Arts Department.
Cui Fang is Wan Shanhai's girlfriend. Wu Zhongyuan reported her name and asked for the details of the night of the incident.
Cui Fang seemed to be reluctant to bring up the events of that night, but in the end, he faltered and said, roughly the same as what Wan Shanhai said, except that Wan Shanhai lied a little, that is, he didn't urinate casually, When he urinated, he knew there was a grave in front of him.
When Cui Fang finished speaking, Wu Zhongyuan asked, "Do you still remember what that old lady looked like?"
After Wu Zhongyuan finished speaking, Cui Fang's face changed greatly, "What are you doing?"
"I know some people, maybe I can help him." Wu Zhongyuan lied.
It may be out of concern for Wan Shanhai, or it may be because of guilt that she left Wan Shanhai and fled that night. Although Cui Fang did not want to recall the details of the night, she still reluctantly drew the head of the old lady. .
Cui Fang is an art student, and his sketches are very expressive. This old lady made him draw very realistically.
After class, Wu Zhongyuan invited Wang Jize to go to Houshan with him. Wang Jize was afraid and did not dare to go.
After dinner, Wu Zhongyuan still went, but not alone, but with Wang Xinran. He didn't invite Wang Xinran. Wang Xinran was worried that he was walking around alone and took the initiative to follow.
Wu Zhongyuan didn't tell Wang Xinran what he was doing in Houshan, but Wang Xinran guessed that Wan Shanhai was a classmate of the two, and his story had long since spread.
When they arrived at the back mountain, according to Cui Fang's description, the two found the tomb. The tomb was surrounded by a pine forest. The woods were littered with paper towels and other debris that made Wu Zhongyuan blush. It seems that Cui Fang did not tell the truth. , the two may have done something else here that night.
The head of the tomb is not too big, and there are traces of people cleaning it around, indicating that the tomb is not too long ago, and there is no tombstone in front of the tomb. According to funeral customs, the tombstone is usually erected after two elderly people are buried together. The absence of a tombstone means that the old lady died first and the old man was still alive.
"Do you want to know who the owner of the tomb is?" Wang Xinran asked.
"Do you have a solution?" Wu Zhongyuan asked rhetorically.
"You can ask the headquarters to check." Wang Xinran took out his mobile phone and took pictures of the surrounding scenery, "There is only one tomb here, you can use the previous satellite maps to compare, after determining the time of burial, and then check the details of the death. time."
"I still have a portrait here." Wu Zhongyuan took out the head portrait that Cui Fang drew.
Wang Xinran took the portrait and took a picture, "It's much easier to have a portrait."
"How long will it take?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.
"Soon." Wang Xinran returned the portrait to Wu Zhongyuan.
It was really fast. As soon as the two got down to the foot of the mountain, the news came back. Wang Xinran showed his mobile phone to Wu Zhongyuan, "It should be this person."
This is an ID card with a photo and date of birth, followed by the time of death. The photo is 90% similar to the portrait drawn by Cui Fang, the only difference is that the photo was taken with a smile, while Cui Fang Fang's portraits look gloomy.
The old lady was seventy-three when she died, less than three years after her death.
The reason why Wu Zhongyuan investigated the matter was to confirm whether there was any supernatural phenomenon. Now he has the answer. There really are ghosts in this world. residual energy present.
Wang Xinran has no interest in Wu Zhongyuan's investigation. For her, the only significance of this matter is to show Wu Zhongyuan the amazing work efficiency of the headquarters, so pride is inevitable.
Back to the dormitory, Wang Jize was not there anymore, remembering that Wan Shanhai was standing in front of his bed with a ghost on his back not long ago, Wu Zhongyuan couldn't help being frightened, he dragged out the suitcase from under the bed, and found out the master left behind. This ghost painting.
He had read this book and knew that it contained some spells and methods of exorcising evil spirits and catching ghosts. There was a saying called cramming in front of a battle, and he is now cramming a buddha in front of a fake one.
Usually, only serious Taoist priests can draw talismans, but the talismans recorded in this book have no strict requirements on the identity of the person who draws talismans. There are also several types of dyes, which are ink, cinnabar and gold paint according to their power. In addition, human blood can also draw talismans. Women's blood is not good, and it is yin, and men's blood is best. Boy's blood is more powerful than gold paint.
The content in the book is very complicated and can't be read all at once. Wu Zhongyuan can only search for it in a targeted manner. Wan Shanhai's situation is similar to the ghost upper body mentioned in the book, so he uses these spells.
The spells in the book are not words, but strange figures and squiggly strokes.
To learn to draw talismans, he must first prepare a brush and yellow paper, as well as ink, but he has nothing on hand.
I was hesitating whether to buy it or not when the phone rang. It was a landline number.
Answered, Lin Qingming's voice came from the other end of the phone, very urgent, "Come to Emgrand Nightclub to help me."
"Brother, where is the Emgrand Nightclub?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.
There is no answer on the other side and the call has been hung up.
Wu Zhongyuan hurriedly called Lin Qingming's cell phone, which was not in the service area.
Lin Qingming's voice was very urgent just now. Obviously something happened. Wu Zhongyuan hurriedly put on his clothes and ran out of the school.
It was after eight o'clock in the evening, and there were many taxis outside, so I stopped one, "Master, do you know where the Emgrand Nightclub is?"
"I know." The other party replied.
Wu Zhongyuan opened the door and got in the car, "Hurry up, the sooner the better..."
