Chapter 64: The Secret of Doppelg?nger

Xiao Rui didn't see something wrong with me, and said proudly: "How is it, I'm shocked. The first time I saw it, I feel the same as you."

I tried not to let Xiao Rui see my strangeness and said, "It's really amazing, how did you find this place."

Xiao Rui said: "Xiao Yang, he brought me here."

Then I remembered that I didn’t seem to see Xiao Yang and asked, “Where has Xiao Yang gone?”

Xiao Rui said: "He went to lure those things away. If it weren't for him, it wouldn't be so easy to rescue you." As he was speaking, footsteps came from outside. He turned his head and saw Xiao Yang walking in panting, holding something in his hand. It was probably the powder he said that the dead bones were ground into.

Seeing that I had come in, Xiao Yang nodded to me, then threw the things on his hand and was about to come over to shake hands with me. I hurriedly waved my hand to refuse. Although I was not afraid of death, I always had less contact with this thing and tried to contact as little as possible. Xiao Yang did not force himself and said, "Have you seen those pictures?"

I just came in for a while, and I haven't seen these pictures on the stone wall yet. Besides, I mainly asked Xiao Yang what Chu Jiangshan did after taking the fool Xiao Yang away more than ten years ago. Although I was very curious about these things, I would never miss the truth. If it weren't for seeing such scenes in those pictures, I'm afraid that I wouldn't even have the idea of ​​continuing to watch them except for the initial amazement. You must know that Xiao Rui once told me that the village will disappear soon. If I can't get useful information from Xiao Yang, I still have to go there, so I really hope that Xiao Yang can get directly into the topic instead of talking about it.

Xiao Rui patted my shoulder and said, "It's okay, I lied to you, that village will not disappear."

I "Ah?" for a moment, then understood and became furious: "This kind of thing can also be used to deceive people!"

Seeing that I was really angry, Xiao Rui stuck out his tongue and said, "I'm afraid you won't leave if I don't say that." Seeing that I was still tense, I muttered in a low voice: "I'm a little girl 'liar'. What can I do if I don't lie?"

I saw her look aggrieved. Although I knew that she was probably pretending, I couldn't help but sigh and said, "You always do this. How can I believe you in the future?"

Xiao Rui laughed and said, "It's okay, I just believe you."

I shook my head helplessly, then ignored her and asked Xiao Yang: "Don't talk about those pictures first, please tell me directly what Chu Jiangshan did that day and the conditions you need."

I firmly believe that Xiao Yang wants to tell me that these are all purposeful, and I am ready to agree to him. As long as I don’t ask me to take that mask, I can agree to any conditions.

Xiao Yang shook his head, then pointed to the murals and said, "Those things Chu Jiangshan did."

At first I thought Xiao Yang was talking about Chu Jiangshan making these murals, but then I felt that it was unlikely. The styles of these murals were different. Some looked rough and primitive, and some were very delicate. Obviously, they were not painted at the same time. Moreover, there was no need for Chu Jiangshan to make murals, but there was no need to bring the fool Xiao Yang with him, so what he said should be the content on the picture.

After Xiao Yang said this, I became interested in the murals and ignored him. I ran directly to the stone wall. Xiao Yang said, "Look at the far right."

The stone wall on the far right is a woman whose appearance is not clear, and even her clothes are not very obvious. It is just because of her physical characteristics and long hair that I am sure that this is a woman. The woman is sitting on the ground, holding a ball of things in her hands, and there are villains standing on the ground. I thought about it and it seems that it was the story of Nuwa creating a human being, and I don’t know what it has to do with what Chu Jiangshan did.

Xiao Yang signaled me not to hurry and continued to look down. He saw a wisp of blue smoke. There were three people standing on it. They looked a bit like Taoist priests, but not exactly like it. There was a slight snatch in the middle and a snatch in the right hand. The one on his left was holding a yin and yang mirror in his hand. The one on his right was holding a fan, and the fan was painted with the pattern of the yin and yang mirror. I know this, it should be the Three Qings in Taoism. Although the image is slightly different, it can still be recognized. This painting should be the Three Qings in One Qi.

Looking further back, I saw a man sitting on a chair. He was not very tall but full of momentum. Looking down, there were many coffins transported from the same city at the same time. Not far from these coffins, a carriage was drawn, and the carriage was carried a coffin away. Not far from it, there was a door with two words that I didn't know.

I felt aroused in my heart, thinking that this scene was too familiar. Could it be that the "tomb robber's ancestor"? After counting the coffins, they were indeed seventy-two. My eyes couldn't help but look at the coffin that was walking away alone. I wondered what it was, so people all over the world could not find it yet. Although people kept saying that they had found his grave, and even wrote this into a story in "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio", unfortunately they were not recognized by everyone.

Looking further down, I found that the murals had been painted in a mess, and some places were even removed directly. Xiao Yang asked me to see directly at the end. I saw a lot of squatting on the ground, some like people and some like monkeys. I was shocked: Isn’t these what I saw in the passage?

The murals disappeared here. I didn't understand what it had to do with Chu Jiangshan. Could it be that I was wrong? In fact, what he did was to destroy the murals? Then why didn't it completely destroy them? I thought about it but still couldn't understand it. I knew that this was not something I could figure it out by myself, so I looked at Xiao Yang very simply and waited for him to explain it to me.

Xiao Yang pointed to the last part of the mural that looked like a monkey and said, "This kind of thing is called 'Xiao', which is the zither of the portrait. Do you know what it means?"

Of course I know the meaning of the word "Xiao". Its original meaning is to the end of the five bodies, and its extended meaning is the end of the object, and its derivative meaning is similar and similar. But I don't know what Xiao Yang meant by asking these. I looked impatient. Xiao Yang made a gesture to me to be calm and said, "These things were created by Chu Jiangshan. These things he did that year."

I didn't react at once. After a while, "Ah?" Xiao Rui seemed to have known that I would do this for a long time, and she seemed to know this very clearly. I don't know if it was Xiao Yang who told her or she had known it in the first place. She then said: "Didn't you see all kinds of people in these things, and it's almost exactly the same? This is the origin of the name "Xiao".

I thought about it and it was true that it was true. Finally, I couldn't help but curse, and then pointed at the "Xiao" and said, "Do you want to tell me that Chu Jiangshan is a Frankenstein, and these ghosts are imperfect clones? Can you change to a new plot?!"

Seeing my angry look, Xiao Yang smiled bitterly, spread his hands to Xiao Rui, and said, "You'd better tell him, he's too impatient."

Xiao Rui glared at him and said, "You talk too much nonsense and don't get to the point!"

Xiao Yang rolled his eyes, looked innocent, Xiao Rui ignored him and said to me, "In fact, it was not a clone, but a more advanced thing." Seeing that my face changed again, he immediately raised his hand and said, "Okay, I won't talk nonsense. In fact, the appearance of them you see changes according to what you think in your heart." Seeing that I didn't understand, he immediately said, "In other words, if someone is thinking in your heart, it will change into the appearance of the person in your heart."

I opened my mouth wide and looked at Xiaorui blankly. Although I was not willing to believe this, I also knew that Xiaorui was telling the truth. Because I thought about it carefully, starting from the "Xiao" at the bottom of the well to the encounter in the passage not long ago, every "Xiao" that appeared in front of me was a preconceived thought that I would see Xiaorui or Xiao Yang next. Thinking about it this way further proved that what Xiaorui and Xiao Yang said was correct.

When I feel that my brain is a little short of it, it is too much beyond my imagination. I would rather believe that there are ghosts in the world than accept something that can understand what I think in my mind and will change accordingly. If everyone knows what I am thinking, what is the point of living in this world? What makes me even more frightened is why Chu Jiangshan did these things. Is it related to my amnesia eleven years ago?

I stared at Xiaorui and Xiao Yang blankly, waiting for them to give me an answer. Xiaorui bit his lips and frowned, as if he didn't know how to speak. At this time, Xiao Yang said: "In fact, there is nothing magical about this. It can be said that Chu Jiangshan made this thing based on a certain type of people, and we call this type of people clone."

I was getting less and less able to understand, but I knew that the following words must be very important, so I didn't interrupt and listened carefully to Xiao Yang.

"Everyone will have all kinds of strange ideas in his mind. This is a normal person. If it is serious, it will form the so-called schizophrenia and schizophrenia. The medical community's standards for the cure and identification of mental patients are actually very unconvincing. Some people in the West have long conducted experiments, which can easily make experts think that he is a mental patient, but in fact, this person is a completely normal person."

Xiao Yang looked at me, as if he knew what I was thinking, and immediately said: "As for some people who have been cured, well, the word healing is for them. In our opinion, there is no such thing as cure. In our opinion, it is not those people who have recovered from mental illness, but..." Xiao Yang suddenly showed a very mysterious smile and said: "It is those people in their minds who have broken free from their original bodies, so the remaining people became cured patients in the eyes of those doctors, and those who have already left his mind are clones."

As if I was afraid that I would not be able to digest the meaning of these words, Xiao Yang did not speak again after saying this. After a long time, I murmured: "But these things are just some thoughts. How can you go out and how can you become a human?"

Xiao Yang shook his head and said, "That is also a kind of life, and any kind of life will continue in its own way in the face of survival. Of course, not all places are suitable for this kind of transformation and continuation of life, and this is one of them." It seems that seeing my expression is too nervous, Xiao Yang wants to joke with me and said, "So if one day you see someone particularly hate you or someone particularly hates you, don't be surprised because it was your first meeting, because you may have met a long time ago."

I don’t know how to accept these things. This is already completely Ni Kuang’s science fiction novel. Xiao Yang saw that I still didn’t believe it and said, “It’s incredible? Actually, there is nothing extraordinary about this. Such things have existed a long time ago.”

I was stunned for a moment, surprised by the words he said, but then my body was shocked and I immediately thought of the murals: Nuwa created people based on her own appearance, those people were her clones: One qi transformed into three purities, and there was no need to explain. One person became three, which was no different from what Xiao Yang said. Except in my eyes, one was an ancient myth and the other was a science fiction novel, I remembered what Xiao Rui once said to me: those people were gods.

I stared at the mural blankly. Everything was so absurd, but everything was so reasonable. I remember that in the hypnotic world, Erliang once told me "Don't write anymore". Is it the person who wrote the "Old House" that wanted to remind me not to think too much in this way, because the more I think, maybe that thing will leave me and appear in this world one day? What I think is ghosts and murderers. Will they appear behind me one day? Or, join me now and look at me, will he have already come out long ago, standing behind me and looking at me silently. I can hear his breathing and feel his heartbeat, but I can't see anything, so I can only comfort myself and say that all this is just an illusion.

After a while, I said, "What does this have to do with me? I just want to know the stories behind hypnosis." I have figured out that no matter how strange these things are, they have nothing to do with me. The purpose of my coming here is to find clues that are useful to me, and this is also the reason why I can come here with Xiao Yang.

Xiao Yang said: "In fact, many people have been hypnotized. Of course, we don't call this hypnosis. This is just your name, and the purpose of hypnosis is related to this." He pointed to the carriage carrying a coffin on the picture, saying: "He wants to find this place."

I looked at the carriage and thought to myself: What exactly do you have to be worth remembering for these people? You have really caused me a big trouble, Cao Cao.
