"Old man, I recently read a book that says the Daoist School believes in ghosts and gods. Do you believe in them?"
Lu Jiu was quite bored after studying for half a day, so he started joking around with the old man.
"I believe in extraterrestrials more than ghosts and gods," the old man laughed.
Lu Jiu was a bit surprised, "Believe in extraterrestrials?"
"You, a Daoist, also believe in extraterrestrials?"
The old man laughed, "Believing in extraterrestrials is legal and not superstitious. What's wrong with a Daoist being a law-abiding citizen!"
Uh...
Lu Jiu thought that actually made a special kind of sense.
"So do you think extraterrestrials exist?" Lu Jiu asked.
"That depends on how people imagine them. Ghosts and extraterrestrials are just extensions of human nature. When people assign human emotions to an unknown object and use human knowledge to understand it, ghosts and extraterrestrials are merely terms," said the old man.
