Section 122: Legend [I]
Family?
Maybe for these centuries-old ghosts, this is already their home. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info when he was alive, whether it was a hundred years or a few decades of life, for an old ghost who had lived for hundreds of years, it was really the most distant memory.
I followed a few old people to what they called a village.
I really think that these people are crazy, living in such a place that can definitely be said to be a poor country for hundreds of years. And it's not crazy...... Niang Xipi, how did these people survive? No wonder there were people who came before, but then they all left. Even for the sake of that ethereal legend, they will leave here in a frenzy.
I don't think I can stand the loneliness here.
The ghosts who live in the underworld also need to eat. Of course, the so-called burning of incense in the world will never really fall into the hands of relatives. The separation of yin and yang is not only the barrier between life and death in the traditional sense, but also the severance of all relations with yang.
Of course, this is another way of saying about the burial feng shui, which is a kind of feng shui to bless the fate of the bloodline of the corpse in the tomb.
"There's a house here that has been abandoned for a long time, young man, you can tidy up and live here. Now is not a good time to farm, so a few of our old men will give you some grain. You can dig up some wild vegetables around the village and get through this year. ”
"Okay." I can only say yes for the time being. But in fact, I don't believe that there is no way to find the secrets of this village except these old men.
I'm sure my appearance will never be so random!
It's still the two speculations before, no matter which one of them is, they won't let me go so easily!
Now that I have such a plan, the only thing I can do now is to go along with it or simply do something before this, and strive to take the initiative in the palm of my hand.
When the old men sighed and returned to their thatched huts, I sneaked out on tiptoe.
Along the way, I went around the whole village and found nothing.
I just went to the ancestral hall in the so-called village center.
There is a stone monument of the underworld.
Speaking of the Underworld, I have to say a few words about the wonders of the Creator. It is said that this underworld was not created by the powerful person who created the underworld, but was born and fell. As long as you enter the Netherworld, you can learn without a teacher.
So, whether it's alive or dead!
As soon as you enter, the heavens and the earth will reflect the text in your mind, and it will become a familiar text like your mother tongue.
There are more than 100 words on this stone tablet, large and small, saying too much and saying less.
It is just that the underworld should be opened up by providence, and ten states, thousands of counties, and 120,000 villages should be established. And this village is one of the 120,000 villages.
There is also a miniature map of ten states, thousands of counties, and 120,000 villages on the back of the stele, and the dense 120,000 points are 120,000 villages, only one of which flashes red.
I suspect that this is the village where I am located, but unfortunately there is no complete map of the specific environmental characteristics of the village.
But when I saw this, my heart was also 'groaning', so many villages? So many counties? How big is this Netherworld?
It seemed that I couldn't find what I was looking for here, so I had no choice but to turn around and go back to my room.
Five days here, one day outside! Well, I have a maximum of 25 days, or close to a month, to explore the secrets here.
But how could I gain the trust of those old people in such a short period of time?
Obviously, I simply couldn't have managed to get them to trust me completely. I believe that trust between people can be achieved through a combination of time and events.
That's exactly what I'm missing.
A little helpless, a little unwilling, really can't I use violent means?
Thinking of this, I hurriedly suppressed such thoughts, no matter what, people died once and stayed here for hundreds of years just to be reincarnated as soon as possible, it is not advisable for me to do this to hurt the peace of heaven and go against my heart!
After thinking about it, I decided to take a risk.
Since I can't hurt these old people, I'll hurt myself!
With this idea in mind, I knocked on the door of the old man's room.
"Who?" The old man asked inside.
"It's me, old man. My name is Yang Guang. Can I come in? I said.
The old man coughed twice, and I seemed to hear a sigh: "Come in." ”
I pushed open the door and saw the old man lying on the bed, not knowing what he was thinking.
He turned his head to look at me, smiled wryly, and said, "Young man, aren't you going to stay here either?" ”
I walked up to the old man, sat cross-legged on the ground, and asked, 'Old man, let me ask two questions. ”
"Just ask."
"First question, you should all be reincarnated in a few decades, do you really think that I can live here alone for decades? Alone! ”
The old man shook his head: "No! Answered this question in the affirmative.
I smiled wryly and said, "yes, I can't!" ”
The old man said: "However, you can live here for at least a few decades, and when we really reach the day of reincarnation, we will naturally give you the secret, and if you still want to go out at that time, I will not stop you." We are here for your good. It's too dangerous there, you've just come here from the human world, and you haven't enjoyed five hundred years of life, and if you die again this time, you'll really die. ”
I shook my head and said, "You are wrong, if I am here with you for a few decades, I will be slack, I will be lazy, I will escape, and I will be cowardly." When the time comes, maybe I will be like you, living here alone for hundreds of years! Do you think it's right for me? I am a young man, and living alone like this is compared to dying...... Is it worth it? ”
"However, maybe someone else will come in the future, and you won't be alone forever." The old man sat up, looked at me, and said.
I retorted, "So how long did you wait for me?" When was the last one? ”
My words made the old man stop talking and sigh deeply. He said to me, "Ask me a second question." ”
"Good!" I pinched my throat and coughed and asked, "My second question is, if you're sure I can't make it that long on my own, tell me the secret." Otherwise, even if you don't tell me, I will embark on a journey to find a way out tomorrow, and even if I am buried in the surrounding mountains and rivers, it is better to live alone for hundreds of years. If you could tell me the legend, or the way out, I might make it. ”
……
The old man paused for a long time, but finally nodded and said, "Go ahead, they will all gather to the ancestral hall." Maybe you'll be the last to hear this legend. ”
I nodded, got up and walked outside to call someone.
When the six old men all gathered in the ancestral hall, the old man at the head cleared his throat and said, "Brothers, I have decided to tell Yang Guang the legend. ”
"No way!"
"No!"
Several old men said loudly, and scolded more directly: "You old fool, you are trying to kill this child!" ”
"All silent! Listen to me! The old man shouted.
Several old men immediately stopped arguing and turned their eyes on the old man.
The old man sighed and said, "Yang Guang has already said everything he can just now, maybe we think it's a good thing for him, it's really a very selfish thing." This kid should be given his own choice, Yang Guang, please say what I said to the old man just now. ”
A few old people locked their eyes on me again, and I smiled and said, "Okay, I'll use those two questions to ask you old people." ”
At that moment, I asked the question again.
Let them think for themselves, whether they are helping me or harming me.
This time in exchange for more silence, several old people have lived together for too long, and they are actually very close in thought.
As I expected, several old men sighed at the same time and said, "That's it, that's it, big brother, you just told the legend." ”
"Okay, then I'll say ......"
I immediately made a deaf gesture, this was my only clue, I couldn't miss a word, every word.
The old man's voice was slow, perhaps suppressed for too long, and the legend came out of his mouth, full of mystical colors. However, since this is the Netherworld, no matter how mysterious it is, no one will deny its existence.
The legend goes like this......
Once upon a time, there were thirteen top-notch Divine Monarchs in the Netherworld, and each of them had the greatness, mana, and supernatural powers that opened the heavens and the earth.
Everyone can move mountains and seas.
At that time, there was no talk of ten states and a thousand counties. This underworld is directly under the jurisdiction of the Thirteen Divine Monarchs.
Until one day, the whole Netherworld began to be in turmoil, and there was killing and war everywhere.
It is said that the gods encountered a powerful enemy, and it was the enemy who invaded the place.
Among them, the two most powerful Divine Monarchs were framed and scattered. But it was these two great gods who exchanged death for another peace.
It seems that such a legend is not much different from the Pangu opening the world in the world of living people.
But actually, it's the legends behind that that I'm focusing on.
Then the old man said to me......
Later, ten of the remaining eleven Divine Monarchs opened up ten states, and only one Divine Monarch thought that the two strongest Divine Monarchs who died would not die so easily and would definitely come back. He firmly believed that as the two strongest Divine Monarchs, they must have left behind.
But this Divine Monarch knew that the death of the two strongest people had caused the careerists among the Thirteen Divine Monarchs to not be the same as before. So he used his power to spread the news that the two Divine Monarchs were not dead in the Netherworld, saying that the Divine Monarchs were seriously injured and retreated, and that one day they would return to the underworld.
The other gods didn't pay much attention to this at first, but they didn't want to find out that the people of the underworld could not completely forget it under their rule.
