With a smile on my face, I said to him: "Uncle, I heard that this place is not very clean and something always happens. Is it true?"
The uncle looked at me and said, "Everyone in this place has moved away. Are you telling the truth? Anyone who dares to come here thinks they have a long life. I don't think you are from the local area. Are you from Gaha?"
The uncle's words stopped me, so I started to make up random things.
"Uncle, I am a media worker and came from Harbin. I heard that there is a ghost building here. I would like to come and learn more about it and get rid of the superstition."
As a result, my words made the uncle angry. The uncle glared at me and said, "You are so stupid. There are so many old people in the building these years. Outsiders don't know that our locals don't know? Let me tell you, You young people who think you have read a few books and are superstitious about this or that will understand when you get old. You are the ignorant, you are the ignorant, and you are the bold. We have thousands of ancestors. Do you think you are superstitious about things left over from years ago? I think you are ignorant of life and death!"
The uncle's words were so strong that I was speechless. I smiled and said, "Isn't this also to get rid of the dross and get the essence?"
The old man spat on the ground and cursed: "Take the essence of chicken feathers, what did you take out? Do you know what essence is? As soon as the upper lip touches the lower lip, you are determined to be dregs? Now even the land city god is You are being squeezed out of nowhere, and you are not afraid of retribution!"
This uncle was a bit too intense, so I still asked with a smile on my face: "Uncle, don't get angry first. This is not my fault. I just said it casually, why are you so grand?"
Seeing that I was smiling all the time, the uncle's anger subsided a little, and he said to me: "I'm not blaming you, the main reason is that there is a tiger in my family, and my old lady has been offering statues to gods all her life. He must be superstitious. The old lady just passed away a few days ago, and that tiger bitch smashed the idol, which made me so angry that I had a heart attack, and I couldn't control it. I'm so angry, so don't mind."
I asked cautiously: "Excuse me, uncle, who is this... this tiger in your family?"
The uncle said angrily: "It's my son! The ignorant thing smashed the statue of Mrs. Hu Santai and Mrs. Hu Santai. The hall table was also burned, and the Guanyin statue was also smashed. Let's see when he will get retribution!"
I couldn't accept this. After all, he was his son and it was his family's business.
The uncle seemed to get angry at the mere mention of something, and said to himself: "This kid is not a human being. When his grandma was alive, he talked nonsense all day long. Today he cursed Buddha, tomorrow he cursed God, and the day after tomorrow he asked the Jade Emperor to come down and compete with him. The gestures made me so angry that my liver hurt every day, but I couldn't help it. If his grandma hadn't been protecting him, he would have smashed the hall."
I asked weakly: "So, uncle, your family is for the son-in-law?"
The uncle nodded and sighed: "My old lady has been a caregiver and did good deeds all her life. Unexpectedly, just after she passed away, her grandson was beaten by the uncle. Alas, such unfilial children and grandchildren are here to avenge and collect debts. What a crime...Sooner or later, this tiger will die a happy death!"
The uncle looked so indignant that I also sighed and said, "Uncle, don't be too angry. Your son is disobedient. That is his retribution. We have said what we should say and persuaded what we should persuade. You can't be beaten to death." he."
The uncle stamped his feet: "I really want to beat him to death with a stick!"
This nagging person really had nothing to say, so I had to point to the ghost building and change the topic.
"Uncle, is this building still haunted recently?"
The uncle glanced in the direction of the building and said, "No, why don't you make a fuss? Don't look at it. No one lives there anymore. I've been walking around at night these past few days and I can always see lights on in the building, and it's not even a house. Today this room is bright, and tomorrow that room is bright, and it only lights up for a while each time, and it turns on and off repeatedly, flashing like a dance hall. What do you think this is if it's not haunted?"
This sounded unusual, so I smiled and said to the uncle, "Okay, I understand, uncle, so I won't go in. I'll take a few photos outside and then leave. Thank you."
The uncle sighed again: "Then you should be careful. Don't be like my tough son who shouts to break superstition every day. Don't you know that retribution is coming soon! They always shout to believe in science and think that science has no proof. But believing in science too much is a kind of superstition in itself, and it goes against the scientific spirit. Because science is developing, what science cannot prove today does not mean that it cannot be proved tomorrow. To You know, the end of science is philosophy, and the end of philosophy is metaphysics.”
The uncle's words sounded very philosophical, so I weakly asked him what he did for a living. The uncle curled his lips at me and said he was a university teacher...
However, I dare not fully agree with what the uncle said, otherwise I would be suspected of instigating a disbelief in science. So I told the uncle that in fact, there are indeed many inappropriate and even deceptive things in metaphysics. That is because of the ancient people’s cognition. It’s limited, so you can’t disbelieve in metaphysics, but you can’t believe it all. You must keep your eyes open and be careful not to be fooled.
The uncle sighed again and said a very classic sentence.
He said: "Metaphysics does need to be cautious and critical, because metaphysics is the easiest to be used by people, and it has given rise to many superstitions and scams. We should remain vigilant and cautious to avoid being misled and deceived. But we also need to use Treat metaphysics and other subjects with an objective, rational and scientific attitude, so as to better understand and change the world. We must explore and understand the world with an open mind, constantly expand the boundaries of human cognition, and contribute to the development and progress of mankind. To make more contributions, if you kill them all with a stick, this is the most unscientific approach."
The uncle sighed as he spoke, and then took the dog away without waiting for my answer.
That figure looked helpless, lonely, but also stubborn.
And that dog looked back at me from a distance when I walked out. His eyes were also full of endless sadness.
In fact, in the eyes of dogs, you can see many things that humans cannot.
It's a pity that some people nowadays are even worse than dogs and are so ignorant that they go around smashing statues of gods and scolding gods. On the surface, they are breaking down superstitions, but in fact they are just trying to attract publicity and gain traffic.
As the old man said just now, in fact, such a person is a tough guy. These two words are so accurate that they couldn't be more accurate.
Uncle Ma once said something very accurate. He said: You always feel that someone has done a lot of bad things but there is no retribution. Little do you know that when his blessings are exhausted, retribution will surely come. With the word cause and effect, no one can escape. Don't fall off.
This is called not reporting that the time has not come yet.
Heaven is so good at reincarnation, who will God spare? !
