Chapter 4 Waiting
The sky of this world is gray, but the things inside are colorful, they have no fixed form, just like building blocks put together, there are houses, mountains, rivers, the sun and the moon, but they are all intricately suspended in the air, there is no distinction between heaven and earth. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Every once in a while, things here would be separated and quickly regrouped into others, completely illogical, I don't know why the houses would become staircases, the mountains would become plains, but there would be no living creatures here, and I looked back at my grandmother in amazement.
"Surprised, huh? This is another world, but as soon as the soul is out of the body after death, what they see is still our yang world, which they only see after they leave the yang world, and the yin people need to send them from here to the final gate of the underworld. ”
"And what's this place called?"
"Buddhism is called the bardo world, which is a transition, so it will feel very chaotic, but the yin walkers need to build this place into a place where the soul feels safe, such as the city and the countryside in the yang world, and we are not going to the underworld now, so this is what it is."
I found myself suspended in the air as well, but without any sense of gravity that sank, or rather, because there is no heaven and earth here, there is power everywhere, but when it falls on me, it is always balanced, so I can act with all my strength, or I can do nothing and just stay.
At this time, my curiosity to study the world has long exceeded the sense of fear, I used a little force, and flew to a floating island not far away, approached and reached out to touch, as soon as I touched the sand, they actually recessed into a small building block, turning around my hand, when I retracted my hand, those building blocks were restored to the appearance just now, and my hands did not feel anything.
Grandma smiled and patted me on the back of the head, signaling me not to be greedy and get down to business.
As she instructed, I began to think about myself I had met that night, the child who was exactly like me, his dress, his actions, I frowned and thought desperately, and then I simply closed my eyes, and the picture flashed like a TV image.
"Well, see, we can get over."
When I opened my eyes, I saw that the world began to change, and those things began to turn into blocks, and then they began to converge in front of us, and my grandmother told me not to be distracted and continue to think, so the blocks began to split into smaller squares again, and gradually, they formed a scene.
It was an antique courtyard, paved with stone slabs, but overgrown with weeds, and among them was a stone table and a stone bench, on which a woman dressed in white sat and held me in her arms.
At this moment, my grandmother pulled my hand and flew there, and at the moment of rushing in, I looked around and saw that there was also a courtyard floating in the distance.
In an instant, the scene in front of me suddenly became real, and it was not the angle of the overlooking space, but it really appeared in the courtyard, and the woman in white looked at us in surprise and hugged me tighter.
Now I really see this place, it was a stockade, there was a high stone wall in the distance, and the courtyard where the woman was located was probably in the middle of the stockade, and next to it was a half-collapsed stone building, like the kind of high platform that gave orders, but the courtyard and the high platform were all around a ruined ruin, but from the remaining pedestals, it can be inferred that some places were inhabited by people, and some were large square activity areas.
"Who are you? What is the holiday with this child, but he holds on to his heavenly soul. ”
"Who are you? took care of my grievances with him, and was able to chase me here. ”
"I am the grandmother of this child, I used to be a yin person, looking at your white gauze outfit, you must be a person of old age, why don't you enter reincarnation?!"
"I'm waiting for this child to be born again, I don't want to wait for two thousand years, I will stay here for two thousand years, watching the sun rise and sunset, watching the world change, do you know how terrible this loneliness is?"
"You've been in this world for a thousand years?! Why didn't anyone come down there to pick you up? ”
"Take me? I'm a lonely ghost, and I'm willing to stay here and refuse reincarnation, so they don't bother to care about me. ”
"What's your name, and what do you have to do with this kid?"
At this time, I have carefully looked at this woman, she does have long hair, although her face is haggard, but her facial features are extremely delicate, but her face is pale, a small mouth is gently closed, a pair of big eyes under the willow eyebrows are full of sadness, and those slender hands keep caressing the other me, but it doesn't feel like mother's love, but it tastes like love.
"It's been two thousand years, and I've almost forgotten my name. Oh, it seems, he likes to call me Fufeng the most. He said that the name was the most beautiful, as soft as the wind. To tell you the truth, this child once wanted to love me, but he used me to raze this village to the ground, and robbed us of our treasure, and watched my people being slaughtered, and finally I committed suicide by jumping off a cliff, and swore before I died that I would let him return it. ”
When Grandma heard it, this was still a thousand-year-old love debt? As soon as the female ghost closed her eyes, my grandmother and I had the scene of the village in our minds, with thick smoke billowing everywhere, and a large group of people surrounded by soldiers wearing rattan armor, surrounded by bleeding corpses.
Those who were surrounded were all dressed in long black clothes, with the left placket wrapped around the back and a red belt tied around their waists, while the corpses that fell to the ground looked like soldiers, wearing long shirts, armor, shorts, and boots.
A tall general in bronze armor knelt in front of an old man with a crown on his head, and beside him, Fufeng with tears on his face, he pointed to Fufeng, and then pointed to the group of people behind him, constantly gesturing.
However, the old man with the crown shook his head coldly, and with a wave of his hand, the general stood up and led the team into an ancient mound.
After a long time, he held three crimson gems and a black stone in his hands, and held them to the old man with both hands, and the old man laughed wildly and shouted, and the general's face turned pale, and he quickly knelt down and kowtowed, and Fufeng had already fainted.
The general hurried to stop him, but the old man came over and comforted him kindly, and he rushed to Fufeng's side, picked her up and walked outside the stockade, so that she would not see the tragic scene.
Outside the stockade, there was a steep cliff, and he put down Fufeng and gently stroked her hair, but when Fufeng opened his eyes, he wanted to rush back like crazy, and the general tried desperately to stop him, and at last, she laughed and ran towards the cliff, and jumped, and in the last memories we saw, there was only a blue sky and white clouds.
"But, girl, a thousand years have passed, and besides, this is also the treasure that the old earth king insisted on taking away from you, and it is estimated that the general has also been deceived. Besides, now that this kid is no longer the same person he used to be, how can he help you retrieve your treasures? ”
"No, the heavenly soul enters the reincarnation, and he retains the memory of the previous life, because he killed too much, he has not been able to be reborn as an adult for two thousand years, and this life is the first time. Therefore, those memories will not be lost, and I will trap his heavenly soul by my side, and over time, I can recall the bits and pieces of the past. ”
"But you treat him like this, his body is groggy all day long, his life force is incomplete, and he may die prematurely, how can you let him find your treasure?"
"Hmph, did he ever think about my pain then? I just need to get the information about the treasure, and I don't need him to take it! ”
When Grandma Tai heard this, this didn't mean to let go at all, it turned out that people had already made a plan, to get the information of the treasure from the heavenly soul, and they didn't care about the life or death of this lover in the previous life, what a lot of hatred this must be!
Sure enough, the beautiful woman took me in her arms and roared at me viciously.
"Do you remember that your name in your last life was Liu Xiasheng? When you were wrestling with my ears and temples, I gave your whole body and mind to you, but are you worthy of me?! ”
This sudden roar suddenly scared me into tears, and a series of weirdness finally got such a truth, but I don't remember the debt I owe in my previous life, and how can I pay it back as a half-grown child?
Grandma hurriedly squatted down to protect me, only to see that the woman suddenly changed her expression again, and said to my heavenly soul with affection.
"Xia Sheng, it's been a long time since we met again, do you know how hard it is for me to wait for you for two thousand years? The four seasons flow, but I can't feel it, I can only see the fallen leaves to know the autumn, see the grass to know the spring, even if it is a cold winter, there is not the slightest trace of my footprints on the snow. I didn't go anywhere, I just stayed here and felt little by little looking for your information. I hate you, but I love you more, you know? After you are reincarnated as an adult, I want to go to you immediately, but your yang energy is too strong, I can't get close to you at all, this time I don't want you to suddenly weaken, I can be with you again. ”
"What?! Didn't you scare him that night? ”
"No, it's just a passerby, but his heavenly soul has come out and is lost, so I took him away."
When Grandma Tai heard this, it was no wonder that Qiu Zhun and Aunt Wang both thought that this time it was not easy to call the soul, and it turned out that they were intercepted halfway. But this woman must still love in her heart, so she doesn't dare to appear as a dead person, preferring to wait for one day when her yang qi weakens and then hook her soul in her dreams, rather than having a passerby ghost inexplicably fulfill all this this time.
But now, the Heavenly Soul must be taken back first, it is different from the other two souls, it is completely innate, and it is the deepest hidden among the three souls, retaining all the information of the past life, once it is out of the body, it has nothing to do with the acquired soul. Therefore, now that I am a heavenly soul, I don't have any idea of coming back at all.
"This girl, I can understand the entanglement between you and this child in your previous life, but when is the time for retribution, is it that the resentment from a thousand years ago has not been resolved until now? Even if you get his Heavenly Soul and then know where your family's treasures are, what can you do? You're a lonely soul, can't you still get it yourself? If you possess others and cause harm or disturb cause and effect, I'm afraid the guys below won't let you stay in the world, right? ”
"Why, are you going to intimidate me in this next life? I don't care about the body born of these other two souls, I only care about this heavenly soul, as long as it is there, we can be together, the heavenly soul does not enter the reincarnation, even if the body dies, it is just dust to dust and dust, and when you are alive, you can't stay together, now like this, how good. And the treasure is about the hatred of my people for thousands of years, so what if I get it like that? When the time comes, even if I am forced to enter samsara, this heavenly soul will naturally return to where it should go. ”
"But, if you're like this, this kid may not survive to adulthood!"
The woman looked at me as a heavenly soul and said with a grudge.
"Do you know that once each other enters the cycle of reincarnation, which life will they be able to see each other again? No matter how much you miss and how much you love, but, maybe from now on, thousands of years will be staggered, even if you reappear in front of you, you will already be a person, who still remembers whom? Although people are not ghosts or ghosts now, how rare it is, this wait finally has a head. ”
I was stunned to hear this conversation, should I just go down in a daze and wait for death? However, in addition to worrying about myself, I actually pity this woman, how lonely is this after two thousand years of waiting, just waiting for me to be reincarnated as a human body, and then stay with me like this? However, can the heavenly soul still remember the things of the past life? Is it worth the thousand-year wait?
