Chapter 44 Induction Training (3)
Heita Inuyama asked with some interest: "Types of ghosts? Do you mean things like Hyakki Yakou? Something like a slippery ghost, a Shuten boy, a tengu, etc. Something?"
"Somewhat related, but not entirely," Qian Xiaoyi said.
“Are these ghosts really there?” Inuyama Ping was so shocked! He just mentioned it on a whim. Unexpectedly, Qian Xiaoyi didn't completely deny it. Moreover, according to the classification, these are monsters rather than ghosts, right?
"Don't worry, pour a cup of tea and listen to me slowly while eating." Qian Xiaoyi took out a box of high-grade yokan that was delivered to the venue a few days ago from the drawer, opened it and picked up a piece to eat He took a sip, then took a sip of tea and made a comfortable sound. Heita Inuyama naturally took a piece and poured himself a cup of tea. The two chatted like they were having a tea party.
Inuyama Heita drank tea, and then asked: "Brother Yi, do those monsters I just talked about really exist?"
Qian Xiaoyi said unhurriedly: "In answering this question Before, I want to ask you another question and give you a few examples... Heitaro, suppose this These legendary ghosts really exist, then if you travel to a small town in Europe, you will be surrounded by foreigners with blond hair, blue eyes and big noses. The question is, if you see a ghost at this time, then what you should see is Are they Japanese Tengu and Hannya ghosts, or are they Werewolves and Vampires over there? Ghosts, or other messy things over there?"
Inuyama Heita put down his tea cup and replied with a strange expression: "It should be the ghosts in their legends~ After all, I saw Japanese ghosts in Europe. Something, I always feel weird.”
“Oh. ? Then what is the reason for this result? "Qian Xiaoyi asked: "Why does this happen?"
The corners of Inuyama Heita's mouth twitched: "Maybe there is territory between them? They are the same as each other, they have their own territory.”
Qian Xiaoyi looked at Inuyama Heita as if he were an idiot, snatched the chestnut yokan from his hand before he could eat it, threw it into his mouth, and said in a straight voice: "Think about it again, what did I say before? I'm so stupid. Why are you eating high-quality yokan?"
"What does stupidity have to do with eating yokan..." Inuyama Heita was a little depressed when he saw his snacks being taken away, so he began to think hard about this problem for the sake of snacks.
After a while, he hit his left palm with his right fist and said excitedly: "Yes! Brother Yi, you said before that ghosts do not exist objectively, they only exist subjectively in the eyes of us people ...Then the answer comes out. The key here is 'cognition'! Those Europeans do not have knowledge about Japanese ghosts, but they have local legends, so this situation occurs. "
"bingo~here, I'll reward you with a snack." Qian Xiaoyi pushed the box of yokan over and said, "Yes, as long as we talk about ghosts, no matter what the problem is, we will come back. One point is 'cognition'. Just like the conclusion you just concluded, the types of ghosts are highly related to the cognition of people in each place. Let's give another inappropriate example. For example, if an indigenous tribe with little information originally had no concept of ghosts because they worshiped their ancestors, then one day they regarded the Ultraman toy that fell from the plane as a kind of ghost and were very afraid of it. If they continue to use this image to scare children, then after this concept spreads and after several generations, Ultraman becomes the traditional ghost image of this tribe, guess what they If the psychic of the tribe saw a ghost, what would he see? "
Inuyama Heita slapped his face and said a few words with difficulty: "... ...Ultraman. "That's right. Remember, without human knowledge and observation, there would be no ghosts." Qian Xiaoyi took a sip of tea happily, feeling extremely happy about destroying a young man's worldview.
"Ha...it's really impressive." Inuyama Heita was a bit shocked by Qian Xiaoyi's example. He has not recovered yet. He only feels that his balls are so painful that he will no longer be able to face it. Ultraman, sorry, Tiga.
“Continue with the second lesson.” Qian Xiaoyi said: “As long as you understand this concept, then the following things will be much easier to understand. Let’s continue talking about the types of ghosts. In addition to these images, There are also some that you often see, that is, the remnant souls. You should know what I am talking about, right?"
Inuyama Heita nodded: "It's the ones with flickering figures, and sometimes the upper body can't be seen at all. Phantom. "Those things are so common that you can sometimes see one just a few streets away.
Qian Xiaoyi leaned on the chair, resting his head on his hands, staring at the ceiling and said: "Those are the things left by dying people, just like the footprints left by people walking on the mud. There is no memory, no thought, nothing, only the emotions that cannot be released when dying, usually regret or the impression of the moment before death, so when you come into contact with them, you will usually feel very irritable or cold, if a place exists Having a lot of these things means it’s very depressing here.”
Inuyama Heita thought for a while and nodded. Tokyo is indeed a very depressing place to live in.
"Then the second one~ I have to mention the guy outside the window again." Qian Xiaoyi mouthed outside. Inuyama Heita knew that he was going to use the dead house ghost Takeru as an example again. According to Qian Xiaoyi Said: This is the first time he has seen such a ghost of obsession, it is so damn strange.
“One thing you need to know is that ghosts with their own thoughts are very rare.” Qian Xiaoyi raised a finger: “The adjective “none in a million” cannot describe their rarity, only super Only deep obsession can allow them to transcend death and stay in the world. But frankly speaking, they are not the soul of the deceased, but the obsession of the deceased for a certain thing, so they cannot remember most things. Be contrary to your own obsessions Yes. Because of obsession, most of these ghosts exist in the form of so-called earth-bound spirits. To form such ghosts, there must be a certain degree of obsession, which is very rare, otherwise the earth would have been crowded by ghosts. Exploded.”
Inuyama Heita suddenly thought of the ghost neighbor Oda he met when he first met Qian Xiaoyi. In this case, the other party’s obsession should be his sister, and It was not long after he died that he met himself. Inuyama Heita asked: "Then if the obsession is not resolved, they will not disappear?"
Qian Xiaoyi smiled and said: "How could it be? This kind of ghost has a certain way of thinking, so it will also be anxious. , and their obsessions also have different degrees of depth. Some ghosts whose obsessions are not too deep usually turn into ghosts because their wishes are not realized. He exploded and degenerated directly into a remnant soul, leaving only a shadow, and then gradually disappeared over time... If the obsession is too deep, as time goes by, not only will it not fade away, but it will turn into a ghost. Resentment becomes the so-called evil spirit. This leads to the third lesson - how ghosts affect people. ”
I feel flattered to be mentioned by Chiji. I would like to thank Chiji and all the readers for their love.
