Chapter 228: The Second Drum
Cookie was a little scared and shrank back behind Yang Ni, but her neck stretched out long, just like listening to ghost stories, staring at the "spider" with fear and love.
The woman continued: "After losing one body, the consciousness of both of us was retained at the same time. This state continued until we were born and grew up. Later, due to a physical discomfort, we found residual embryonic tissue in the abdomen when we went to the hospital for examination, and then we understood our origin."
"But that's fine." The woman smiled helplessly and then said: "This can at least prove that both of us are real, not imagination, nor are we so-called split personality."
Cookie nodded thoughtfully and asked timidly: "What's your name?"
The woman smiled charmingly, with her eyes curled up and very cute: "Of course I also call it Zhuzhu. It's just a pearl, which is our real name. As for spiders, hehe, it was her who gave her in the middle school second year."

Yang Ni finally understood that these two "Zhuzhu" have the same name pronunciation and share the same body, but in fact they are two people.
So what exactly is a "person"? Is it consciousness or body?
Make this assumption. If one day you have to face an extremely severe torture, but before the torture, the executioner said that you can extract your consciousness and store it in a machine, and this machine can also simulate the strong pain during torture.
Then he will ask for your opinion, whether to allow the body to be tortured or to the consciousness to be tortured. What would you choose?
Your answer determines which one you think is the real "you" is, consciousness or body.
Buddhism says "stinky skin" and says "all appearances are false, and all conditioned laws are like dreams, illusions, bubbles and shadows", which is also explaining the issue of "self".
Zhuzhu tilted his head slightly and looked at Yang Ni with his eyes curled. Cookie noticed something was wrong and quickly blocked Yang Ni and said, "I understand, that is to say, maybe one of you two young ladies will come out. Your name is Zhuzhu, and the other fierce one is called Zhuzhu, right?"
Zhuzhu nodded with a smile.
There is a clear cognitive difference between the dying people on Huangquan Street and ordinary people, that is, they have a strong ability to accept strange things, and Zhuzhu's situation quickly got the default of the other three people.
If you think about it carefully, you are all dying, but you can resurrect and win the opportunity to return to reality. This is already magical and realistic enough. Moreover, everyone's natal also has various and incredible special effects. If you look at other strange things on this basis, it will be easy to accept.
Moreover, dying people struggle on the verge of life and death every day, so naturally they have no time to care about these things.
Cookie said again: "Then I understand. But should we find a way to leave this stone chamber first? I don't have much time left to lurk."
Yang Ni was also worried about this problem. According to his calculations, the cookie should have about 10 minutes left. According to the previous speed, there are at most two chances. At this time, there are 9 drums in front of him.
Zhuzhu looked at the cookie and asked, "You guessed it wrong last time, so which animal do you think is the right one this time?"
Cookie was a little afraid to speak. In front of her were six ordinary animals: lion, monkey, cow, snake, and dog, as well as the four sacred beasts of Qinglong, white tiger, vermilion bird, and black trunk. So, that is the correct answer?
Yang Ni was not good at this speculation without any clues. He frowned tightly but didn't say anything.
Although the cookie was wrong once, no one can guarantee that its accuracy is 100%. In fact, it is already a very high probability that this kind of game, which is one of the ten, can choose the answer within 5 times.
In the stone chamber, a brief silence fell into the stone chamber.
The cookie was the first to speak: "I still think the answer must have some connection with the door, otherwise it would not be a game of hearts, but a game of spades that compete for the speed of monster pushing. I took it for granted before, so why not change the idea. The animals that can open the door and let us leave must be guarding the door. Which of the remaining nine animals is related to the door, especially the gatekeeper?"
Although the "spider" had control of the body before, the "zhuzhu" was watching the whole process, so he had a comprehensive understanding of the current situation.
She pinched her pointed chin and said thoughtfully: "What do you mean is that if you can open the door and let us leave, it is actually the one who puts down the door and closes us?"
Cookie nodded: "This possibility is not ruled out. I just think that since the rules say that only one animal can open the door, is it the only one related to the 'door'? This relationship, whether it is opened or closed, is the same, guarding the door."
Yang Ni continued to reason with her idea: "That is, what we are looking for is some kind of door beast, which is related to the door, rather than simply thinking that it is 'opening the door'."
They must not be confused by them. They touched their naked heads and hesitated: "Then what is the difference between the two?"
Yang Ni's injuries were still a little painful and his hands and feet were not very flexible. So he took this opportunity to explain patiently: "Simply put, last time we focused on finding someone with the ability to open the door, so we chose the elephant with the greatest strength. Now we are looking for it, and the animals themselves represent the door."
Zhuzhu interrupted, "What animal can represent the sect?"
Yang Ni pointed to the nine-sided stone drum in front of him and asked, "When you see these nine animals, which one will make you immediately think of the door?"
"Puppy!" Cookie jumped to a stone drum and said happily.
Yang Ni looked at it and the cookie was referring to the drum with "dog" painted, and nodded.
Humans have a very long history of using dogs to visit the door and guard the hospital, and the choice of cookies makes sense.
"There are also lions." Don't take a sneak peek at Cookie, then quickly lowered your head.
Yang Ni understood what he meant. It was not difficult to see the figure of a stone lion in palaces, temples, and bridges. Most of the time, it was placed on the left and right sides of the gate. He could not only leave the temple once in his life, which was not long before he entered his dying place. Therefore, when he saw the lion, he remembered his tall and majestic temple gate that was closed all year round.
