Chapter 271 The past is unchangeable, but the future is still known

It happened to be the end of the month, and Fang Ning wanted to go out to relax, but he did not call Cheng Xi, and there were others who rushed to Wutong Mountain alone.

He took the bus to get off the bus halfway up the mountain and hiked along the fine stone mountain road. This place was not a concrete road, but a small mountain road, so it was a bit rugged. Fortunately, he had been practicing unremittingly for a long time, so although he had spent some effort, he still climbed Wutong Mountain.

The top of Wutong Mountain, the Palace of the Ancestors.

In the early morning, fogs of mist were emitted in the mountains, and a few beams of light were revealed in the smoke and clouds. The sunlight shone through the water mist and then reflected a prism mirror in the air. White walls, corridors, halls, statues of the Emperor Zhenwu, and incense lingered. Some Taoist priests in blue clothes swept the floor on the steps. Some tourists stopped and took a camera to capture the glory of the past, either admiring, solemn, surprised, or pious.

Fang Ning walked in the Ancestor's Hall and watched the pilgrims kowtow and pray in front of the statue of the Ancestor. Next to them were two generals of turtles and snakes. The mud dolls were mottled, the skylight was lingering, and the dust was scattered.

He heard that in addition to the Patriarch Hall, there is actually a Taoist temple in the back mountain. However, after ordinary people visit the Patriarch Hall, they mostly stop and turn around and walk back. Therefore, few people are interested in the dilapidated Taoist temples in the back mountain. Because few people have been there, and some people have seen some Taoist men in Qingyi carry water and walk as fast as they fly on the eaves of the earthen-breasted house without sprinkling water, so it is rumored that some Taoist temples in the back mountain may practice martial arts.

It is true that there is a Taoist temple in the back mountain, and it is true that there is a martial arts training site. It is just that it is not as mysterious as others rumored. Most of them are spread by rumors. The Taoists there practice martial arts just to strengthen their bodies. The hermit masters like those in martial arts novels are just the words of novelists after all.

Fang Ning couldn't help but be curious and wanted to find out the truth, so he went to the back mountain.

The scenery in the back mountain is much quieter than the top of Wutong Mountain. There is no evening rain in Wutong, no three-star arching moon, no holy well sweet spring, only clouds and mountains and mist.

When Fang Ning walked down, he looked up and saw the rays of light in the mountains, and his restlessness became much calmer.

The altitude of the back mountain is not high, with green mountains gradually gradually surrounding it, surrounded by clouds and mist. Occasionally, you can hear the sound of lonely birds, which is quite the artistic conception of cicadas roaring over the forest and making the birds singing more secluded.

After walking in for a few minutes, he saw the dilapidated Taoist temple at the foot of the mountain behind him, with green tiles and white walls. It seemed that this was the legendary Taoist temple.

The wide floor was covered with stones and weeds, and the old Taoist in Qingyi meditated on the cushion. The remaining two young Taoist priests carried buckets to pour water into the water tank. The water splashed everywhere, and there were three or four children with boys' hair combed in their hair, which made the wind come true.

Sometimes I really think it’s a sign of seduction. Fang Ning was very pleased with this old Taoist for the first time when he saw this old Taoist. His old Taoist’s words were in line with the eight characters.

He thought that he often had some bizarre dreams some time ago and always dreamed of the stories of Su Can and Su Xiaoxiao, which undoubtedly disturbed his peaceful life. Although he no longer dreamed these days, the doubts in his heart could not be gone, so he happened to sit down and chat with the old Taoist.

Fang Ning had a great time with the old Taoist, and learned some of the old Taoist's details during the chat.

His secular name is Luo Xin'an, which is the temple of Zhenwu Temple. He usually manages incense and brings some children to practice boxing. When the crowds are rarely visited, there is not much incense. The expenses of the tattered Taoist temple are supported by the parents of these children. Then the government pays to support it. After all, this is also part of the Ancestor Hall.

The ancestor of the old Taoist was the famous Luo Xionggen real man in the county. However, in his generation, the people generally had no faith, so the incense was not as high as the most. When he was young, he had traveled to other places. Because he was proficient in calligraphy, painting, gold and stone, and poetry and wine, he had a good relationship with people in society. Later, he got tired of the darkness of society and was indignant, and he fled into the mountains to practice. It took more than 20 years to go to the cold and heat.

Today he had a whim and expected that there would be guests to come, so he specially dressed up and prepared tea and waited here. Fang Ning was a little unbelievable at first. When the old Taoist led him to the inner room, there was indeed a little Taoist boy waiting in the inner room. There were rough tea and a few plates of peanuts on the table. It seemed to be true. Fang Ning was solemn. The spirit-making divination that passed down from ancient times was indeed a bit mysterious and could not be explained in a scientific way.

The old Taoist is a free and easy person, and Fang Ning is also unruly, so they held everyone away and chatted in the hall where incense is lingering for several hours, attracting each other as confidants.

Fang Ning hesitated a little and told what happened to him, but it was only half true and half false. He often dreamed of two people in his dreams, and they were all related to him. He often dreamed of what happened in the future. The experiences he came into contact with later proved that those things were true one by one. He paused and said, "My experience made me believe that sometimes dreams can foresee the future, but why did such a thing happen?"

The old Taoist took a sip of tea and said, "Some things cannot be explained scientifically until now, have no scientific basis, and cannot be self-reasonable, but they do not mean that they do not exist. Just like the things passed down by our ancestors, although they seem to be feudal superstition to ordinary people, they also have their own reasons. You say that you often dream and encounter a specific person or some familiar scene, but I have actually studied them."

"In fact, it's not just yourself. Many people also have this feeling. When they see a certain scene in their daily life, they will suddenly sigh and think that they have the ability to predict the future. In fact, it may be just to awaken the original subconscious memory at some level. To put it simply, our genes have loaded certain memories into our cerebral cortex, and what they see later is just to recall what already exists in the brain."

Fang Ning's mouth twitched, "What do you mean is that I am just a subconscious dream?"

The old Taoist shook his head, "Your example is an exception. The reason I say this is because you are not the first person I have ever met. I have seen a girl before, and she has similar troubles to you. But she is very smart. She made an explanation to me, which made me suddenly realize."

In fact, when he said this, Fang Ning had already realized something, but he did not interrupt the old Taoist's words and his eyes lit up.

The old Taoist said, "In her parallel universe, most people's lives move forward in a linear shape, but this is an illusion. Because every day, life has various choices, staying at home or going to work, etc. A line becomes N lines, and each choice creates a reality. Illusion memory is like a brief glimpse of another life, which almost everyone has experienced. We feel that we have been to some place because in fact we have actually been there, but in another reality."

"Most people cannot detect this parallel scene, and at certain specific times, they can be projected through some things, such as 'dream'. That is, what you call dreaming, dreaming is the projection of the world, including the projection of different world lines, which is no different from the reflections we see in our visual sense, and is the instinct of human beings. There may be basic rules for jumping timelines in the instinct of human beings subconsciously."

"The people and things you see in your dreams and certain scenes are real in the parallel universe, so in the reality later, some things you witnessed one after another also develop the same development. Of course, because of the timeline, the time passage you see in the world accelerates or slows down. If it is before time, it means that it has happened. The 'past' of the parallel universe has no change, but the 'future' is still known."

Although the old Taoist said something mysterious, Fang Ning still understood it. In other words, what happened in his dream is not necessarily something that will happen in the future, but it may also be a parallel universe. Another story that Su Can and Su Xiaoxiao have already happened. Combined with Fang Ning's sometimes clear and sometimes blurry pictures in the dream, it can be seen that the era where Su Can is located is obviously different. No matter which scene, it has an old and old smell, as if it is yellow and mottled old photos.

In other words, they may have been in a certain 99 to 09 years, but they are definitely not in the current 201 years.
