Chapter 1 Ancient Town Adventure
Li Rumeng is a salesman of an insurance company in Suzhou. He has been engaged in insurance sales in this company since he graduated from college for three years. From the age of 22 to the age of 25, three years have passed. Now he is also an old man, with a salary of more than 4,000 yuan a month. He barely lives in the bustling city of Suzhou.
Yesterday, Li Rumeng's girlfriend who had been with her for more than two years went home because she had something to do, and it took a whole week to return. He has rarely lived alone for three years. How can he adapt? Early this morning, Li Rumeng, who was a little distracted, didn't even want to go to work.
He casually found an excuse to go out to visit customers. Li Rumeng carried a leather bag alone and sat on Wujiang, not far from Suzhou. He didn't go to meet his lover, let alone really visit customers, but wanted to go to Tongli Ancient Town, not far from the suburbs of Wujiang, for a day to relax.
As we all know, it is not easy for modern people to live. And Li Rumeng's job is not particularly decent. As a salesman in an insurance company, that is, a person who sells insurance in people's mouths, he visits many customers every day. When visiting customers, you often have to try your best to meet the needs of customers and make them happy, right? Otherwise, why would others pay so much money to buy an insurance that he doesn't even agree with?
It can be seen that in fact, Li Rumeng lives a very unhappy life every day, under great pressure, but also disguises a hypocritical smile. People can't stand such a day for a long time. It is precisely because of this that when Li Rumeng is away, he takes the opportunity to go out and relax.
In fact, Li Rumeng is an extremely proud person. He always feels that he is not the general public. He always calls himself a practitioner. With the spirit of Ah Q, he tells himself that satisfiing customers every day is just a means to sharpen his heart. Of course, part of it is also to fill his stomach. Practitioners always have to eat.
Li Rumeng called himself a practitioner, but he did not have any magical ability. He doesn't know Taoism or magic power. Like ordinary people, he wants to eat, drink water, or even fight. He can't be an ordinary strong man. He is only 1.7 meters tall, thin and thin, even worse than normal people.
The reason why he called himself a practitioner is that he was very introverted when he was a child and did not like to talk to people. Therefore, he developed a habit of reading, that is, as long as he likes to read books, but he will not really study it. He just reads it because of interest. If he has no interest, he will throw it away immediately.
For more than 20 years, he has read too many books, even including various Taoist scriptures, Buddhist classics, ghosts and gods, and biographies of the legends of wild ghosts. Perhaps he thinks that these mysterious books are very interesting, so Li Rumeng's interest in this kind of books is very high. Sometimes after reading it, she even has to secretly explore and try to cultivate a powerful magic power according to the method described in the book, so as to become a legendary figure of a generation.
Of course, Li Rumeng certainly did not succeed. He has practiced hard for more than ten years and has never practiced any magic power or spells at all. However, one thing is certain: Li Rumeng gradually learned a strange way to calm down and calm down. In his words, as long as he is in a daze for a long time, people's mood will naturally gradually become numb and calm down.
After the mood is calm, then the person's heart will naturally become auspicious, and a strange feeling will naturally arise. Li Rumeng is often in a daze, but he has always insisted that he is practicing. But every time he practices, he always dreams, wandering around the world in his dreams or going to the sky into the sea and so on.
Li Rumeng always feels that his dream has not yet reached the highest level. In his view, the highest level of dreaming is not daydreaming. It is that you can dream of the whole world in a dream. In the dream, you can not only dream of boring and intermittent scenes, but also a complete world, and you can do whatever you want in that world. You are the omnipotent God in that world.
It's funny to say that a dream is a fantasy between people's unconsciousness. If it can be controlled independently, is it still a dream? That's delusional. However, Li Rumeng did find some ways and tricks to make dreams. He called these methods and tricks the Great Dream Heart Sutra.
He found that after practicing this big dream every day, his mental state improved in a straight line. Every time I have an inexpendable spirit, even if I only sleep for an hour or two every day, I don't feel sleepy at all the next day.
Not only that, Li Rumeng found that his memory had also been greatly improved. Up to now, although it is not unforgettable, after reading a book once or twice, you can basically remember the content of this book. In addition, Li Rumeng found that he gradually had a magical predictive ability.
Many times, he will have some special feelings inexplicably and without warning. He seems to vaguely guess what will happen, but this is just a feeling, and there is nothing specific and detailed. But afterwards, he found that his feeling was completely correct. That is to say, he can foresee something going to happen, but he doesn't know what it is.
These are not the reasons why Li Rumeng called himself a practitioner. What really makes him feel that he is a practitioner is because he has a seemingly magical but useless ability. Sometimes, Li Rumeng closes her eyes but can 'see' things. In a faint way, he seemed to sense that there was something special somewhere in his body, and the reason why he could see something with his eyes closed was because it existed. It is this thing that emits something out of its own body, so that you can 'see' things with your eyes closed. He called this emanating thing an idea.
Li Rumeng believes that she has been exposed to a magical world and stepped into the scope of practitioners. He believes that he feels that the kind of thing in his body will definitely bring magic power to him. Although his ability is useless because of great limitations, it means that he has the possibility to surpass ordinary people.
Today, on the way to this ancient town, Li Rumeng once again gave birth to the feeling that something was about to happen, and this feeling was stronger and different than before. This feeling is as if you are going to encounter some great danger, and it seems that you will encounter some great good thing. It is very contradictory, but this feeling is very strong and clear.
Perhaps it was because of this feeling that Li Rumeng was looking forward to and worried about this trip to the ancient town, but he did not want to turn around and return. In fact, when you go out to play, what is more important than where you go is to be with someone. And Li Rumeng travels alone, no matter how good the place is, let alone because of that feeling, he has been waiting for what happened, and he is not in the mood to watch the scenery at all.
After playing for a day, Li Rumeng didn't encounter anything strange at all. Throughout the day, he just bought a string of agate bracelets and a very exquisite wood-carved bottle in a souvenir shop. You must come out once and always buy something, and these two things only cost more than 40 yuan in total, which is quite worth it.
I haven't encountered anything strange during the day, but that feeling still hasn't disappeared. This is different from every time in the past. Every time I predicted something in the past, the strange feeling just flashed and disappeared immediately. But this time, this feeling has always existed.
Li Rumeng was a little stubborn. He simply lived in this ancient town and vowed to return to Suzhou after what he felt happened. However, Li Rumeng didn't wait. At night, the feeling suddenly changed and suddenly became clear. He clearly felt that what was about to happen seemed to be related to an old house. But there is an old coffin in the house.
Li Rumeng has never had such a clear feeling. This feeling is so real, even as real and clear as what he saw with his own eyes. He doubted whether he had entered the state of seeing the outside world with his eyes closed again last night, but even what he saw in this state was vague and hazy, like looking through frosted glass, it was impossible to be so clear.
Li Rumeng thought that he was wandering away from the body. He remembered that he had seen an ancient book that said a lot of strange things, some methods of practice, and the methods of practicing the yin god, and it was true. However, Li Rumeng didn't believe it. He thought it was too fantasy. However, vaguely, he doubted whether what he sensed was the Yin God mentioned in the ancient book.
Last night, Li Rumeng couldn't wake up when he sensed the old house and the old coffin, as if he were a nightmare. Finally, he was awakened by the sharp pain from his wrist, but Li Rumeng knew that it was not a dream, because he was an a dreamer, and he could not tell whether it was a dream or not.
After waking up, Li Rumeng found that he had been scalded with a terrible bubble on his wrist, but what burned him was the agate bracelet he wore on his wrist. I don't know if this very ordinary agate bracelet can burn people's skin under any special circumstances. This is impossible at all, because Li Rumeng feels that the feeling of agate to herself is a cold feeling, and this thing keeps coming out of a cold breath, which makes people feel very comfortable. And Li Rumeng instinctively felt that this breath seemed to be good for him.
The next day, just after dawn and before the sun rose, Li Rumeng immediately felt the picture last night looking for the old house in the whole ancient town. In fact, it didn't take long for him to find the house under his intuition. Sure enough, there was an old coffin in the house.
Li Rumeng was not very bold. Originally, he was very afraid of things like coffins, but this time he didn't feel too scared. Go straight into this old house that seems to have been abandoned for many years. As soon as he entered here, he immediately sensed that the source of his special feeling was the coffin in the house.
He came forward and looked at the thing carefully, but did not find anything abnormal, so he boldly lifted the lid of the coffin a little and looked in. It was empty and there was nothing inside. Suddenly, he had an idea, closed his eyes, and tried to 'look'.
Sure enough, this time he released his thoughts very smoothly, and when he really found something, he actually saw a mass of light in the coffin. The light slowly rotates, forming a vortex of light, which is very magical. This was completely beyond Li Rumeng's understanding, and he couldn't help but be shocked.
