Guanzhong Tomb Robbery Notes

Chapter 259 The Weight of the Soul, Please Let Me Go

"I didn't say neutrinos were necessarily ghosts."

"Mr. Qian never said that."

"But we've conducted experiments in our institute to determine how heavy a person's soul is, and under what conditions will a soul become a ghost after death..."

In 1907, a doctor named McDougall on the other side of the ocean conducted an experiment on the weight of the soul.

By observing the weight changes of near-death patients in the seconds before and after death, we can see whether a person's weight changes after death due to the dissipation of the soul.

Special beds have been made for this purpose, which can accurately observe the patient's weight at any time.

After observing the conditions of several dying patients, it was found that they suddenly lost 10-21 grams of weight within a few seconds after their hearts stopped beating.

A paper was published based on this observation.

Later, the saying that the human soul weighs 21 grams spread widely around the world.

"Actually, the soul-weighing experiments foreigners are doing are nothing. Our ancestors figured this out thousands of years ago."

"There's a technique called bone-weighing fortune-telling, which can tell how much a person's life weighs."

"The old man from the metaphysical school in our institute once said that the weight of the bones is the weight of the soul."

I have heard of the method of fortune-telling by weighing bones.

In the past, when Tuo Ye was telling stories about the martial arts world, he also mentioned some fortune-telling methods.

Such as Qi Men Dun Jia, Da Liu Ren, Zi Wei Dou Shu and so on.

Fortune telling by weighing bones is one of them.

Moreover, fortune-telling by weighing bones is extremely simple, and the weight is calculated based on the date of birth.

For example, the Jiazi year weighs one liang and two, the first month weighs six qian, the first day weighs five qian, and the Zi hour weighs one liang and six.

The weight obtained after adding up is three liang and nine qian, which is the life weight of a person born at midnight on the first day of the first lunar month in the Jiazi year.

Based on the weight of the life span of three taels and nine cents, and by looking up the corresponding formula, you can explain fortune-telling to people.

Fortune-telling by bone weighing is gradually used by fewer and fewer people because the results are extremely superficial.

I never expected that this now-declining art of fortune-telling could be linked to scientific research.

But what I am more curious about is the metaphysical school that Huang Ziming mentioned.

Later I learned that the people with special abilities there were divided into two categories.

One type is those who are proficient in esoteric arts and have inherited their knowledge from their master.

For example, people like Huang Ziming, who have abilities that ordinary people do not have because of their practice and inheritance, are called the metaphysical school.

The other type is people who are gifted and have superpowers without any instruction.

For example, people who can walk through walls, pick up objects from a distance, and have superpowers without any spiritual practice are called functionalists.

Later, after a large number of experimental studies, it was proved that the functionalists were basically charlatans.

Most of the so-called various abilities evolved from ancient magic tricks.

There are only a handful of functionalists with real skills.

Let’s get back to the present situation.

I nodded and said, "I know about fortune-telling by weighing bones, but I didn't expect it to be the weight of the soul."

"You know shit!"

"The bone-weighing fortune-telling rumors out there are all fake."

"To calculate the weight of one's life by adding up the date, month, day and time of birth is just a trick to fool people."

"It's really fortune telling by weighing bones... ahem."

Huang Ziming suddenly started coughing violently.

After coughing, he changed the subject.

"Anyway, I experienced it firsthand when I died."

"I can vividly remember the feeling of my soul leaving my body. At the moment my soul was about to dissipate, a colorful stream of light hit my soul."

“My soul, which was about to break apart and dissipate into the air, was pulled back by that stream of light and reshaped into my soul body.”

"Let my soul be firmly united together and become what it is now."

"I guess that at the moment my soul was about to dissipate, the neutrinos passed through my soul and reacted with it..."

Huang Ziming started talking about science again.

A ghost who is well versed in metaphysics talks about the scientific reasons for the formation of ghosts... It makes me feel indescribable.

"You're getting off topic." I reminded him in a low voice.

"Let's talk about how to deal with the things outside first. You can talk about these things slowly after we escape."

I gently pointed in the direction of the cave entrance.

During the time we spoke, the scarlet threads sealing the cave entrance had become a web.

Those resentful heads hung like spiders on a web woven from scarlet silk threads.

They stared at Cui Hao and the stone mill with their heads full of resentment, their cheeks kept swelling and shrinking, and their lips kept moving.

Gradually, blood-red saliva flowed from the corners of their mouths.

The saliva seemed to be pulled into threads, slowly and continuously sliding down from the corners of his mouth.

Do not!

That's not saliva, it's really silk!

A thread similar to the scarlet thread, only thinner.

A blood-red thread slowly fell to the top of Cui Hao's head, swaying slightly like a fishhook, and carefully hooked towards the Baihui acupoint.

This is to seduce Cui Hao's soul!

My heart skipped a beat when I saw this scene.

"Hide, rat!"

But my shouting was of no use.

Now I am in the Yin state, a soul body.

Cui Hao couldn't hear the words that were shouted.

I got anxious and grabbed Huang Ziming by the collar and yelled, "How can you save the rat?"

"talk!"

"Say it quickly!"

I yelled and shook Huang Ziming hard.

At this time, Wang Hu was retreating quickly.

His abnormal behavior attracted Cui Hao's attention.

Cui Hao chased after Wang Hu, grabbed him by the back of the neck, and asked coldly, "What are you doing?"

"My brother didn't let us go."

"I... can't hold it in anymore, so I want to find a corner to solve it." Wang Hu explained with a dry laugh.

At this point I breathed a sigh of relief.

Wang Hu's emergency survival action accidentally saved Cui Hao.

It allowed him to temporarily escape from the coverage of the blood-red thread.

The head that spat out the blood-red thread and almost hooked Cui Hao's soul was now staring at Wang Hu with angry eyes.

Wang Hu was so frightened that he shrank his neck and bent over, as if he could hardly hold his breath.

Cui Hao grabbed Wang Hu and changed direction.

He asked Wang Hu to face the cave entrance and then gave it a hard push.

"I can't hold it back, so I rush outside."

"Who are you planning to bury by settling it in the cave?"

Wang Hu was caught off guard and was pushed to the ground.

He staggered to the edge of the cave.

The heads on the scarlet silk web began to stir.

They grinned and sprayed blood-red threads towards Wang Hu.

Snapped!

Wang Hu fell down in a panic.

Strands of blood-red silk brushed against the hair and cheeks.

He then twisted his waist and rolled over.

He rolled into the hole several times with all his might.

Cui Hao and Shi Nianzi were both amused by his miserable appearance.

"Haha, you can't even walk properly because you're holding your pee?"

"If I had known earlier, I would have helped you."

Wang Hu lay on the ground gasping for breath with a pale face.

After taking two breaths, he supported himself on the ground with both hands and stood up.

He closed his eyes and shouted in despair, "I am Gao Ming, a lecturer at the May 7th Normal College!"

"I'm dead and now I'm a wandering ghost!"

"Attached to Zhao Ziang and trying to escape back!"

"I want to escape and go back to see my parents, wife and children!"

"But Professor Zhang won't give me a chance!"

"Professor Zhang, please let me go!"
