Volume 13: Out of the Rubik's Cube (9)

Zong Shaoxian and Zhu Mengtian told Feng Rong and Lin Yingkong the story told by Jiao Shuyin.

"It's really not like lying," Lin Yingkong said with a thoughtful look, "The details are clear, the order is clear, and the logic is fine. Uncle Qing may have encountered something." Whether it is hallucinations, there are ghosts, it must be that they can tell them in such detail.

"If it is true, it doesn't seem like human power can do it," Zhu Mengtian said. "Take people out of the pit, send them out from a distance, and cure his broken legs. Generally speaking, ordinary people cannot do it."

"Actually, it is not impossible to say it is an illusion," said Zong Shaoxian. "According to what he said, if it was a place full of corpses, the rotten bones and the atmosphere at that time could easily make people hallucinate, but I can't understand how the deep pit and bones came from, and why he was the only one who saw it. Li Yingsheng said that he had entered the Ghost Valley several times, but he didn't find anything wrong."

Feng Rong looked at Zong Shaoxian, "There are a large number of supernatural creatures gathered in Lingxiao Town?" So many strange-shaped corpses were buried silently in this deep mountain, and it was unlikely that they could think of it.

V City is under the jurisdiction of the V6 district. Zong Shaoxian knew the distribution of local supernatural creatures well. He frowned and said, "Lingxiao Town is not big. Although it has enough spiritual energy, it cannot provide too many creatures. The mountain gods who manage this mountain range are not stationed here, but on the other side of the mountain range. In the past hundred years, there have been no more than one hundred supernatural creatures registered with him, and there have been no large-scale casualties. I can't imagine how so many corpses came from."

Lin Yingkong felt that this time, which I thought was quite easy to explore, was destroyed by a ghost story, and he was a little helpless. "It seems that we have to check the history of Lingxiao Town. You should be careful when you go up the mountain tomorrow... By the way, has that Uncle Qing passed away now? Have you asked?"

Zhu Mengtian replied: "I asked, he is still alive. He said he is old and can't do much work. He guards the oldest ancestral hall in the town, and usually leads the elderly to survive."

"The ancestral hall..." Lin Yingkong suddenly had a bad premonition, "Which is in the south of the town?"

Zhu Mengtian looked at Zong Shaoxian, who nodded, "Yes."

Lin Yingkong asked again: "Is that Uncle Qing a little crazy?"

Zong Shaoxian continued to nod, "Many people say he is crazy, but Jiao Shuyin said he is just a little nervous, but not a lunatic."

Lin Yingkong: “…”

Feng Rong couldn't help laughing, Zhu Mengtian and Zong Shaoxian were surprised, Zhu Mengtian asked: "Minister, you have never met that Qing Uncle, right?"

Feng Rong smiled and said, "Well, he pointed at Yingkong with a peach wood sword and said that he was a monster."

Zhu Mengtian and Zong Shaoxian: "..." He has such a accurate vision, he must be a lunatic, right?

Although the ghost story is a bit creepy, it is common for the Ling Security Bureau and his group. Everyone slept well that night. When the next day, Zhu Mengtian and others who were about to go up the mountain got up. After washing up, they brought all their equipment out. Even Ding Youlan carried a bag to cover up. They put the Qiankun bag inside, and there was also a cover when they took things.

It was early in the summer morning. It was not yet six o'clock, and Li Yingsheng was already waiting at the entrance of the inn. He also carried a basket with a lid and held a bow in his hand, as if he was going up the mountain to hunt. When he saw them, he was a little surprised and thought they would get up very late, so he was squatting at the entrance of the inn for breakfast.

Seeing that Li Yingsheng was in a hurry to finish breakfast, Zhu Mengtian stopped him and said, "Don't worry, you'll talk about it after you finish eating, let's eat something before you set off."

Li Yingsheng had to continue eating breakfast. Jiao's mother also got up early to open the store and brought the freshly baked buns and soy milk to Zhu Mengtian and the others. Ding Youlan said curiously: "Boss, do you still sell breakfast?"

Jiao's mother smiled and said, "Anyway, we have to eat at our own home, so we can make more and sell it by the way."

Ding Youlan said with a deep heart: "It's really hard, you have to get up so early." The Redwood Inn hired a chef, but the chef hasn't even come to work so early.

"I'm old and can't sleep," Jiao's mother pointed to Jiao's father in the kitchen. "In summer and winter, he always gets up at around five o'clock and can't stay idle."

When Zhu Meng Tian and the others were having breakfast, Jiao’s father and mother also brought soy milk and buns to sit and ate. Jiao’s mother was chatting with them enthusiastically, while Jiao’s father sat far away and ate alone in silence. Han Lu said to Yiling in private: “Uncle Jiao and Aunt Jiao look bad in their relationship. Are they not a couple?”

Yi Ling thought that children are children, and asked him back: "Can husband and wife have a good relationship?"

"But the minister and Assistant Lin are pretty good," Han Lu said, and then pointed at Zhu Mengtian and Zong Shaoxian. "Brother Mengtian and Brother Shaoxian have a good relationship," he said to several couples, including men and women, some married and some not married yet. Anyway, they are all the ones who abuse dogs. Finally, they concluded: "Even if they are not a couple now, they will be like this in the future, but they are all very young. Uncle Jiao and Aunt Jiao have been married for so many years, why have their relationship become bad?"

"It's not better to say that it's not good, it's better to say that there is no love," although Yiling is a demon, but has lived in the human world for a long time and is quite clear about the affairs of these ordinary people in the previous generation. "If you get married, you will get married, but those who get married may not have had a relationship. They may just have a relationship, and they don't think that each other is very disliked. Everyone's family background is similar, and then they get married and have children, and they just live together. Family affection may not necessarily be there, so where does love come from?"

Han Lu was shocked when he heard this. He had not been in contact with human society for a while and had not been exposed to many things. Most of his understanding of love was obtained from Xing Jun, Qin Bianhai, Feng Rong and Lin Yingkong and others around him. However, Yi Ling's words subverted his worldview, "So marriage is such a casual thing?"

"...I can't say that," Yiling didn't want Hanlu to be raised into a flower in a greenhouse. In the supernatural community where the strong prey on the weak, this personality is carrying a huge force, and it is too easy to be used. "It's just that most humans will do this. They don't have strong power and long enough time, and will seize the opportunity to reproduce and reproduce, to improve their lives in this way, or to place their lives on marriage. In the past, they mainly rely on the fate of being a good match for their parents. Generally, there is no autonomy in marriage. In modern times, although it is freedom of marriage, in most cases, marriages still go with the flow. Many people do not have any right to marriage.

People will yearn for marriage when they are young, but when they are really married, most humans look more at interests or are forced, such as finding a car and a house to meet their material needs, and for example, finding someone to live with them just because they are old. For them, money, power, wealth, or appearance are more attractive. It cannot be said that they have no feelings for each other. However, in many cases, they get married just because the other party is suitable for them, and there is no romantic factor in life after marriage. After having children, their feelings are transferred to their children, and the couple becomes more like living together."

"It's like Uncle Jiao and Aunt Jiao?" Han Lu looked at Jiao's father and mother who had basically no eye contact throughout the whole process. The social distance between them was similar to that of strangers, and they were only in their early fifties. However, Han Lu saw that the couple entered different rooms last night. It can be seen that they were used to sleeping in separate rooms. Han Lu couldn't help but mutter: "It's so terrible. I don't want such a marriage..."

Yiling smiled, "These are just for ordinary people. There is no trend of getting married at any age in the supernatural world. And unless they are married, they are not considered marriage even if they are fertile. They are similar to the cubs of the demon clan who can be raised at will. They don't need their parents to stare at him when they grow up, and they will be given up to one party when they are born. They just need to raise them directly to the clan, and they go to find new lovers... It's not a good way to deal with them or a spirit.

The way of handling the disease in the alien world is good, so I can only say that human marriage is more of a result of the bondage of responsibility and public opinion. The supernatural world is more animalistic, with a relatively low loyalty in love, and some creatures are just lonely or want a baby. However, humans get married directly for these reasons, while the supernatural world is a companion. After a while, it will be apart. I can only say that those who dare to make a contract are all true love, but whether it is the human world or the supernatural world, lovers still account for a relatively small proportion of things like marriage."

Han Lu's face collapsed, "Then it's hard for me to find a companion?"

Yi Ling was so funny that he couldn't help laughing at his face, but he still tried his best to explain to him: "It depends on what you think. If you just want to give birth to a cub, it doesn't matter if you choose ten or eight lovers, and it can't be considered fickle. The supernatural community is still very open to this aspect. After all, we have lived for a long time, so we can't be a magician for hundreds of years, right?"

Han Lu didn't understand the magician's meme, but could understand the previous passage and flattened her mouth, "I'm not going to go for the cub..." Not long after he was born, he watched Qin Bianhai's love that ignored life and death, and he yearned for such feelings.

Yiling could understand more or less what he didn't express, and touched his head sympathetically, "Then you may have to be a bachelor for many years... It's okay, I'm almost two hundred years old and I'm still watching Double Eleven every year. This year I will teach you how to buy and buy!"

After breakfast, at around 6:30, Zhu Mengtian and his party set out to go up the mountain with Li Yingsheng. Jiao's mother also specially prepared a large bag of steamed buns and tea for cooling off. Han Lu touched her stomach and felt that she was not full, so she bit a steamed bun and followed Yiling with her side, playing with the Rubik's Cube in her hand. He was able to successfully put together three noodles last night and made three Donald ducks, one step closer to the success.
