All living beings in hell

Chapter 128 - Goodbye
Li Jun and I drank and chatted very happily, and we drank three bowls before we knew it.Yunjiu has a lot of stamina, after Mr. Li left, I felt hot all over, and my face was warm and numb.I wanted to lie on the spot for a while and take a rest.But as soon as he closed his eyes, he felt a lightness in his body.It was like being tied around the waist by a thin thread, lifting me from a high altitude.

The smell of the air around him also changed, and the cries of lonely souls and wild ghosts in his ears had ceased.I didn't open my eyes, but I could see clearly through my eyelids.

At this time, I am in the graceful Milky Way, with the flowing star belt under my feet and the rainbow light in the distance.The star belt flows like a river, and beside the flowing water, there are many transparent souls squatting by the stream, not knowing what they are doing.

I was about to step forward to check, when I heard voices in my ears.This voice is ethereal yet thick, hitting a certain string in my brain and reverberating.

"Writing, we meet again."

"That's it?"

The voice laughed, but he didn't see him: "The writing master has a good memory."

"Where is this place? Why did you bring me here?"

A blue translucent human figure appeared beside me, with its arms around my shoulders, and walked with me lightly along the banks of the stream.

"Look at this water, even if it is flowing downstream, it is also flowing upstream."

Following the words of Ji Yi, a semi-squatting transparent soul scooped up a bowl of water with a wooden ladle.And when the starry water was filled in a wooden bowl, it instantly solidified and turned into a solid glass crystal.The starlight in the crystal is also frozen in it, no longer flowing, and no longer flickering brightly and darkly.

"What kind of river is this? It's so magical?"

Ji Wei smiled and picked up a handful of water, the water turned into broken diamonds at his fingertips, and when the broken diamonds fell into the water, they melted and flowed again.

"It's not the river, it's the time."

"time?"

"This is the form that time exists in this dimension. Just like water, it can be seen and touched. It can go downstream or upstream. And if you want to fix a certain time, you only need to scoop up a scoop .Once the time in this ladle loses its link with the galaxy itself, it will freeze immediately. Like amber, it will freeze the events in that minute and second forever."

"Why do you need coagulation time?"

"Because memory is needed, and we are so forgetful. Whether it is a disaster or pain, or a celebration of joy, as long as it is condensed into a crystal and brought with you at any time, you can always remember it."

Ji Wei squatted down, his translucent palm turned into a wooden ladle shape, and scooped out a bowl of water from the Milky Way.The water was originally star-studded, but after it solidified, it turned dark blue, and there seemed to be some kind of miasma flowing inside.I took this crystal out of Ji Ru's hand and put it in front of my eyes for a closer look.

The picture condensed in this crystal is the moment when my chest was penetrated by the sapphire pen.The me in the crystal looked terrified and unwilling, with blue veins swollen at my temples.It was only momentary, and the events that happened that day reappeared in front of me one by one, replaying like a movie.

I handed the crystal back into the hands of Ji Ru.

"You don't want to take a souvenir with you?"

"Not for now. What I'm curious about is why you brought me here?"

Ji Yi handed me a number plate with 081 written on it: "During the end, hell is in chaos. Many ghosts have taken this opportunity to leave hell, or return to the human world, or go to other dimensions. Your guest list is also in chaos , The number plate was also passed through many hands, and finally the number 81 came into my hands. It is also a kind of fate to see you again."

"Just because you got the number plate, you want to come to see me? There is no other intention?"

"Why here, Writer? What do you think?"

"I don't know."

"I want you to see the various forms of time and let you understand the meaning of time. We want to borrow your hand to record these and bring them back to the world."

I took out the pen and paper I carried with me: "You tell me, I will record it truthfully."

Ji Wei half-kneeled by the river, put his hands into the water and stirred it gently: "Tell me, why can this river flow both forward and backward?"

"Because the direction of time is not uniform."

"Not exactly. The reason why water can flow both forward and backward is because of the instability of gravity."

"Gravity instability?"

"Water flow will also be attracted to one place by gravity. The waterfall flies down three thousand feet. It is attracted by the gravity of the center of the earth that it will wash down from the high altitude over the cliff. The same is true here, time is attracted by gravity. Attractions flow in different directions."

"What is the gravity here? It must not be the earth's gravity."

"One thought, one thought, one dust, one star. Everything, tangible and intangible, has gravity."

"So is everything contained in this river?"

"This river is just time. Everything exists in the void. Time is affected by the gravitational force in the void, and it is lengthened or shortened, and flows to the side with the stronger gravitational force."

"I still don't understand, can you give me an example?"

Even though it looked a little helpless, it seemed that it had explained it clearly, but I was still confused in front of me.

"I have already given tangible examples. Waterfalls, upstream and downstream of water, are all like this. If you use human affairs as examples, have you ever heard the saying 'the right is more helpful than the wrong'?"

"Well, it comes from "Mencius", which means that those who stand on the road of benevolence and righteousness will get more help, and those who betray morality will lose their hearts."

"The benevolence and morality you speak of is a certain kind of thought. The stronger the thought, the stronger the gravitational force. The river will be restrained by the gravitational force of this thought and change its direction."

"Can I understand that when the flow of time changes, the course of human history also changes?"

"Naturally, the course of human history is affected by these tiny gravitational forces all the time. Time is always flowing unless it is disconnected from the Milky Way."

"That is to say, nothing is fixed. The 'fate' that people often say is actually the influence of multiple gravitational forces. In the change of the direction of the river, the fate itself may undergo major changes at any time because of a thought."

"If the power of that thought is strong enough, that's it."

"But no matter how strong the gravitational force is, the water flow itself has a gravitational force that restrains each other. To change the direction of a water flow, I'm afraid not only requires strength, but also requires a lot of patience, waiting for the penetration and transformation of the force."

"Exactly, time also produces a huge inertia in self-friction. From our point of view, this inertia may just flow. But for human beings living in three-dimensional space, it involves all aspects of their actual life. Life The disputes, fetters, and all connections about a person affect the state of this person's soul at all times. Everything I want to say next is the main reason why I brought you here today."

"Go ahead, I'm recording."

"As you can see, the existence of time is like flowing water, which can be fast or slow, or reversible. It is a very subjective thing. For individuals who are ups and downs in the years, time can become subjective. You The minutes and seconds used by human beings for timekeeping are just a kind of directional reference value. The so-called reference is a constant value for easy measurement. If human beings can accept this concept and explore their own subjectivity in time, then human beings will be closer to freedom One step."

"Let me understand. For example, if I am 80 years old this year, can I still have the mentality of being 28 years old?"

"Of course, 28 years old may not have the experience of 80 years old, but it is absolutely possible to have the thoughts of 80 years old, and even the pace of life of 80 years old. After all, the concept of age is based on the minute, second and day. It is set based on the reference value of month and year."

"That is to say, age itself is good as a reference, not as a limitation of oneself."

"This restriction includes both the mind and the body. Because the mind, as a kind of gravitational force, also affects the body all the time. In other words, the body doesn't care whether you are eighteen or eighty this year. The body just wants to eat well and sleep well. Well done, healthy and healthy."

"If human beings accept the concept of subjective time, how can they get closer to freedom? What kind of freedom are you talking about?"

"There is only one kind of true freedom, how can there be many kinds?"

"What was that like?"

"As far as the current human society is concerned, the threat caused by time will be much reduced. Once the concept of 'aging' is separated from age itself, there will be less energy-consuming competition among people, and the pressure caused by depression and anxiety will be reduced. There would be a lot less mental illness, and the suicide rate would go down a bit.

In terms of humanities, more and more people will appreciate the diverse beauty across age groups, instead of just blindly worshiping youth and sticking to the deep-rooted virginity complex.People with more experience will have the patience to accept the ideas of the new generation, and the new generation will have more patience to read the past history.

In terms of technology, many research directions on diseases will change.The treatment of diseases will start from a more humane and more inclusive perspective.

There are many more, all related to the concept of time. "

"I saw a piece of news before. A college student said in a freshman speech that if he still achieves nothing at the age of 35, he will commit suicide. The speaker was surprised and asked the college student what it means to achieve nothing. The college student said that if he can't earn 1000 million is nothing. The subjectivity of time you just mentioned reminds me of this student’s perception of time. He believes that a person must have 35 million when he is 1000 years old, otherwise his life is not worth living in this world. What do you think of this?"

"I think it's not only related to the subjectivity of time, but also has a lot to do with the student's own concept. Seriously, if the student really kills himself, he will be a very interesting guest for you .”

"Even if you're joking, I hope that this student is just talking young and energetic, but please don't do that."

"However, as far as this case is concerned, the general anxiety caused by time is common. If you can correctly understand time, you may not be so anxious."

"Because anxiety doesn't work either."

"Anxiety also has gravity, and this gravity is very diffuse. When this gravity exists in a person's body, it will tear every organ from the inside out. Some people will suffer from headaches and insomnia because of this. It is the physical manifestation of the gravitational force generated by the thoughts actually acting on the body."

"Why does time cause anxiety?"

"You think, what would happen if water were compressed together?"

"The density becomes larger."

"As the density increases, the outward tension will also increase. When the pressure reaches a certain level, the water will try to break through its wrapping."

"I'm so anxious. Thinking about it, I'm already anxious."

"Yes, so when you feel anxious, the best way is to restore your subjective time to normal flow. Don't compress it, just flow with it."

"However, time cannot be seen or touched in the human world. How can we make it flow naturally?"

"If you are in the river yourself, don't resist. Let yourself calm down, float, isn't it a very relaxing thing to float on the water?"

"If the water quality is good, it should be a very relaxing thing."

"It's a pity that most people are worried about choking on water, so it takes a lot of practice to float."

"Yes, it takes practice."

After saying this, Ji Wei and I sat by the river and watched the stars quietly for a while, without saying anything more to each other.The stars in the water are twinkling. I don't know if the stars are melting in the water or the surrounding Milky Way is reflected on the water.It's very quiet here, except for my chat with Ji Wei just now, there was no other sound.

Time itself is silent, it is ethereal in this vacuum, picked up by pieces of soul, and put in again.Those souls may be looking for their favorite time point to crystallize to keep close to them.

I looked at it for a while, and felt my eyes sore.I rubbed my eyes subconsciously, only to realize that my eyelids were still closed.I opened my eyes suddenly and found that I was lying on the floor of the office at this time.It was like waking up from a big dream, and my heart was beating hard.I took a few deep breaths, only to feel that my right hand was still holding the pen.

Looking down, I saw densely packed words on the floor under my right hand. I don't know when I was asleep, and I had written everything down.
