memory trick

Lao He continued to tell what happened at that time.

"The second master noticed something strange when he got the fish scale album. He said the weight was too heavy. After we came back and studied it carefully, we found that the title page of the fish scale album was actually a sandwich with something in the middle. When we took it out, we found that it turned out to be a piece of paper. The very thin gold foil, not only me, but also the second master finds it unbelievable. The exquisite craftsmanship is unbelievable. It is simply miraculous. Even if you want to make that kind of gold foil now, it still costs a lot of money."

Since the fish scale book is something in the yellow library, the gold foil must have been added by someone later. I thought about it and asked, "Uncle He, how are you sure it's not a modern craft?"

Lao He smiled, "Because it contains the secrets about the stone man."

I hurriedly asked: "What does the stone man refer to?"

It's a pity that Lao He shook his head and said: "Only the second master knows. The characters on the gold foil are very small. I tried many methods at that time. Finally, I found that only by hitting it with light at a specific angle will a piece of ancient text appear. No one can recognize the characters on it. Only the second master could read it, and he recited the phrase "The stone man has three eyes" at that time. But now that I think about it, it was about that time that the second master began to organize people to go to the ground. I think he must be on the gold foil text. Found something."

With the last hope, I asked: "Where did those fish scale books and gold foil go in the end?"

"Isn't it in the second master's room? He should have put it away." Lao He said.

I sighed, confused and disappointed. I thought that if it wasn't hidden somewhere by the second master, it would be taken away by the person who stole into the old house. But at the same time, I was also curious as to why that person knew that the second master had it. If you wanted to take the gold foil, you would have already taken it. Why did you wait until we came over to take it?

I thought of something and asked again: "Uncle He, have you heard of the Cao family's puppet-raising technique that Qing Quan mentioned? I feel like he meant something at that time."

I noticed that Lao He's face changed quickly when he heard me ask about the "Puppet Lifting Technique", but he concealed it very well. He held up the tea cup to block it, then quickly calmed down and said vaguely: "It seems to be you." A certain generation of the Cao family came from a vaudeville career, performing puppet shows, and I don't know how many more."

Judging from the way he spoke in a trembling manner, Lao He must be hiding something from me. The "puppet-raising technique" is not that simple. At that time, Qing Quan specifically said to me, "There is no good ending." He would not be so bored as to play riddles with me. I believe that the "puppet-raising technique" must have some kind of connotation, and it is some kind of bad connotation.

Although I felt itchy in my heart, why didn't I tell him that I couldn't force him? I sighed in my heart, it would be nice to know that he wouldn't harm me.

"Have you rested?" Lao He looked behind me and asked.

 "Um."

I don't know when Han Sheng came out of the room, leaned against the door with his hands folded, and looked at us quietly.

Lao He stood up and said with a smile: "You two chat, I won't be in the way."

Han Sheng came over and sat on the stone pier where Lao He had just sat. I looked at him up and down. He was much paler than when I first met him, but his complexion was okay, just a little tired. It seemed that he had not recovered yet. .

He smiled and said, "Don't worry, there are no missing parts."

I was very torn in my heart, and I wanted to know what he was going through down there, but I couldn't open my mouth. After all, I had just escaped from danger, and I seemed too worldly, so I repeated absentmindedly, "It's good to come back, it's good to come back." "

Han Sheng saw that I was distracted, so he smiled and said, "If I have anything to ask you, just ask."

"Ah?" I was stunned for a moment and asked him carefully: "Can I ask?"

He nodded seriously. I had been holding back a lot of questions this afternoon, but I didn't expect him to be so forthcoming. I wanted to ask something, but found that the questions were very fragmented, and I didn't know how to start.

He didn't urge me, he just folded his arms and looked at me with a smile.

I took a sip of tea, relaxed myself, and tried to ask: "Why did you have to go then?"

He tilted his head and thought for a moment, as if he didn't expect me to ask such a question right away. After organizing his words, he said seriously: "I don't know if you believe it or not. I have a very familiar feeling about that place, but I don't know. It's not very clear. It's just that on certain occasions, some fragments will flash in my mind, so some roads become clear in my mind. I want to understand what happened to me. At that time, I stood on Baxia's head and watched. Looking at the world through the mirror, I have a feeling that the answer I want is down there."

I opened my mouth wide. I didn't expect the answer to be so shocking. It made me unable to think. It took me a long time to react and asked him: "You mean, you suspect that you have been to Zhenlingtai? Maybe you lost your memory later?"

But he shook his head and said firmly: "I'm sure I haven't been there."

I suddenly felt that my brain was not strong enough. Since Han Sheng concluded that he had never been there, how could he feel familiar with Zhenling Terrace? What about him before? Only then did I realize that I knew nothing about Han Sheng's past.

Thinking of this, I asked Han Sheng: "Where were you before you met the second master?"

Han Sheng replied: "In the shelter, no matter how young you are, you won't remember it."

I asked strangely: "That's strange. Have you ever had a memory interruption since you followed the second master?"

Han Sheng thought to himself, "No, I still remember most of what happened after I followed the second master."

I rubbed my eyebrows, thinking that this was too strange, and asked him: "If this is really the case, then there are only two possibilities. One is that you were taken to Zhenlingtai when you were very young, then you must be It was before the asylum, but it stands to reason that it is so small that there should be no memory storage, and it is still so clear."

Han Sheng asked: "What about the second type?"

I smiled bitterly and said, "You have been there in the past life."

Han Sheng smiled and said, "The first guess is more reliable."

In fact, I am not completely lying. In fact, a few people have experienced a moment of déjà vu when experiencing an unfamiliar scene or thing. Although it passed by briefly, it was extremely clear.

I have read a piece of news from abroad. I have forgotten the specific details. It was probably about a child who kept telling his parents that he was murdered in his previous life. Who the murderer was and where the body was buried were clearly explained. The parents began to think that The child's pranks were unreasonable, and they even thought that the child had a mental illness. In the end, they had no choice but to call the police. As a result, the police actually found an unknown body in the place identified by the child, and the murderer confessed when they caught him.

This news spread quite fiercely at first, but then disappeared when I looked for it.

Coincidentally, I heard a friend who worked as a tour guide also mention that there is a "reincarnation village" in Dong Township, Hunan, China. More than a hundred people in the village have memories of past lives, and they also recognize their relatives who are still alive. The village is particularly mysterious. I heard that a reporter conducted an in-depth interview, but for some reason it never appeared in the newspaper.

I had nothing to do at the time, so I looked for relevant academic papers to read. Some medical scientists pointed out that this kind of instant memory is not a supernatural event, but is actually a human illusion.

We know that a stimulus signal is stored by a memory unit, and a memory unit may be composed of one neuron or several neurons. These neurons are not active all the time. They are usually divided into two types. Important Memory storage and non-important memory storage, the brain will store non-important memories deep in the consciousness, and use some common sense related to us as the "key" to open it.

This is why people with amnesia need to experience previous events to stimulate the brain, so that the memory unit of the brain can release the memory and slowly remember things.

This instant memory is a reverse process. Because people's memory area is limited, many deep memories will be cleared away, leaving only those "keys" that are well known to you.

But at this time, if things or scenes related to deep memory are triggered, your deep key will be activated. However, because the original "real" memory has been erased, the brain will choose to use the "common sense" related to you. The memory comes back.

Han Sheng listened attentively and said, "You mean that I feel familiar with Zhenling Terrace because I have been to too many large tombs, and the 'real' memories I have forgotten are only related to them?"

I nodded and said, "It's very possible. Let me give you an example. For example, when you were a child, you saw maps related to Zhenling Terrace? Ancient books? Or someone told you about the internal structure, etc., which will create a deep snow storage area. The combination of these memories Your experience of going to the tomb will form a false memory, making you mistakenly think that you have really been there, so please remember it carefully."

Han Sheng sat there quietly for a long time. I saw that his eyes were confused, as if he had fallen into some kind of memory error, so I quickly patted him and said, "But it's not necessarily accurate. This basis is called the Mandela Effect, and it's only the expert's opinion." Don't take theory too seriously."

Han Chang let out a breath and said, "I don't know if it's the reason you mentioned, but I really can't remember the memories of my childhood. According to what you said, if someone really told me about Zhenling Tower, then... …It must be the second master."

The two of us fell into deep thought for a long time. If it was really what the second master said, then he must have followed my father and his team into the Lingzhen Tower. Could it be that he was the last person to leave? But why did he tell Han Sheng, who was still a child?

The matter was puzzling, and I was too lazy to continue thinking about it, so I asked Han Sheng: "What did you see down there? Who are those people living in the mirror world?"

Han Sheng thought for a while and said: "I did find a figure walking on the tower-shaped building at that time, but I found that it was too deep below, much deeper than we imagined, and there were many strange buildings, the most It's still those puppets, but that's not the most terrifying thing."

"I was still outside when I was stopped by a special puppet."
