Chapter 74: The Fifth Option
"If you die, how can you live? If you are born, how can you die? Yao Jiuyin suddenly said nonsensically, I don't know if he was asking us or asking himself.
Changsheng shook his head blankly, I don't know why Yao Jiuyin became such an esoteric philosophy, so he just wanted to speak, "Senior brother, we ......" Before the words fell, he was interrupted by Senior Brother's "romantic" feeling.
"If you are alive, why die? If you die, why live? ”
"Grandma! I really think I'm Lao Tzu! "I have ten thousand grass and mud horses galloping in my heart.
Next, the senior brother turned on the narration mode and told us a story, this story is a bowl of unstoppable chicken soup for the soul, this bowl of chicken soup for the soul has not only changed him, but will also change me and Changsheng in the future.
"The world is in turmoil, and the people are struggling to make a living." Yao Jiuyin recalled: "Not only do people kill people, but even people eat people are not uncommon, but at that time, I followed the master in the Taoist temple but lived a peaceful and quiet life, one day I suddenly got tired of this monastic life, I don't know that the sky is high and I want to go to the world, so I said goodbye to the master and went down the mountain with pride......
"I was so ...... back then. I really don't know how thick the sky is......" After a pause, Yao Jiuyin added: "Maybe it's because I don't know, so I am fearless, and the soldiers outside are chaotic, I know that life is difficult, in order to survive, I joined a tomb robbery gang." ”
I finally answered, "Master, her old man actually taught the way to rob tombs?" ”
Yao Jiuyin seemed to smile, "What kind of means did you care about at that time?" Just relying on the feng shui knowledge of the three-legged cat, I heard that where there is a rich tomb to dig, I didn't expect that I pointed a few times and really succeeded a few times, so I slowly became the head of this small gang, but I walked for a long time at night to hit the ghost, once I ran into a grave, I don't know how heavy to dig in, and I completely planted it...... Of course you know about the Tomb of Evil, right? ”
Changsheng shook his head, but I said "um", Yao Jiuyin looked at me and felt a little like meeting a confidant to chat.
Since the rise of the thick burial system. Tomb robbery has never stopped, and after the ancients realized this problem, they would also use various anti-theft methods, and the tomb is one of the more special ones.
This type of tomb will be placed on the top of the tomb when the coffin is dropped. Or a baby who died in the womb or a prisoner who died resentfully, anyway, whatever evil qi is heavy, this evil qi will only become more and more trapped in a small space, and even condense into a liquid-like thing, which is called "black water" in the jargon. And the older it gets, the more powerful it gets, when someone digs a hole, if the evil source is touched, the black water is covered, and the tomb robbers often die without a body.
Yao Jiuyin continued: "At that time, the black water was surging, and several brothers and I were in a mess, only I struggled desperately to get up, and I don't know how long it took to still faint in the stinky black water. ”
I frowned, thinking that you must have been saved later, otherwise it would have been terrifying.
I only heard Yao Jiuyin say quietly: "When I wake up." And he saw the saint. ”
"Saint?" Changsheng and I were shocked in our hearts, and we were completely confused.
"Yes, it's a saint! That's what she told me! Yao Jiuyin muttered: "When I woke up, I looked back at the black water, and my accomplices were actually a pile of white bones, it was the saint who saved me, or ...... I don't dare to imagine it further. ”
I secretly wondered in my heart if my senior brother would be deceived by a liar pretending to be a dragon ghost, but Changsheng was completely attracted at this time, and couldn't help but say, "What happened later?" ”
"Later...... Afterward...... How about I tell you a story? Yao Jiuyin said suddenly, without waiting for us to answer, he had already started to speak." Did you know? If you want to change the world, you have to make a choice! There are five options for everyone...... Some people choose force, some people choose power, and some people choose wealth. Someone else chose ...... It's ideal! ”
Is this guy really talking about chicken soup for the soul, why are all the ideals popping up? I secretly wondered in my heart, what kind of force, power and ideals, this girl has never touched these three kinds of hair, so she hiccups directly. Although I complained vigorously in my heart, I saw Yao Jiuyin fall silent. I couldn't help but ask curiously, "Isn't there another option?" What is it? ”
"You have to choose between these four choices, how will you choose?" Yao Jiuyin slowly looked at me and Changsheng.
"I don't know!" Changsheng replied honestly.
"Can't you choose all four?" I asked with a smile.
Yao Jiuyin also had a little smile in his eyes, and muttered, "Ghost girl, it seems that you chose to dream." ”
I'm a ghost girl, and beautiful things like dreaming are also extravagant hopes, ignoring Yao Jiuyin's mockery, I frowned and said, "Then how do you choose?" ”
Yao Jiuyin was silent for a long time before saying, "I chose to dig the dog." ”
Doggy? What is this choice? I was amazed and puzzled, "What is a dog?" ”
Yao Jiuyin just looked at us slowly and didn't answer again.
There are many words that we don't know what to think about in this senior brother's strange speech, what "saint", what "dog...... What exactly does he mean? Changsheng doesn't understand, and I don't understand either.
Yao Jiuyin seemed to be caught in some kind of memory, we didn't dare to disturb him, his deep ink eyes exuded an inexplicable whirlpool, and he continued the unfinished story just now for a long time.
"Later, I wept bitterly beside the pit, and when I saw the appearance of the person who rescued me, I knew that she was a superior person or not...... Later, I learned that she was a saint...... Yao Jiuyin's words became deeper and lower, "I kowtowed and thanked her for saving her life, and then asked her to take me as an apprentice." ”
Changsheng and I were already speechless by these strange episodes, so we listened attentively, afraid of revealing a word.
Yao Jiuyin said to herself: "She didn't answer my request, but told me the five choices just now......
I said "um" and said slowly: "Senior brother has already said just now, what kind of dog did you choose?" ”
"I didn't choose it, she forced me to choose!" For some reason, Yao Jiuyin suddenly raised his voice, looking painful and angry. "She recited a sentence to me, time is not benevolent, and heaven and earth are dogs; Life and death are not merciful, and the saint is the dog...... I'd rather never hear that! ”
Wow, the message conveyed by this small detail is very powerful, and it completely falsifies the Taoist holy word. I asked cautiously, "Isn't Senior Brother really voluntary?" ”
"Not bad." Yao Jiuyin sighed, "Who will choose this Laoshzi dog with his head in the water, if I have a choice, I will also choose power, wealth, and even ideals...... It seems that Yao Jiuyin has also been suppressed for a long time, and he complained out in one go.
I thought it was a multiple-choice question with five answers, but it turned out that Yao Jiuyin was assigned the only answer, which was really sad enough.
"Senior brother, then you can refuse?" This is the path of immortality and weakness.
"That's right, senior brother, you don't like what you can refuse!" I've got a help, too.
"She's always my savior, and when I was thinking about how to politely refuse, she died......"
"Dead?" Changsheng's mood and I were like a roller coaster with ups and downs, and Yao Jiuyin was so uncomfortable at first glance.
"Well, it's dead!" Yao Jiuyin was a little angry.
"Isn't it better to die, it's just okay to ignore the of that choice!" I can't help but say.
"Hehe, I can't escape, this is fate, who called me so unlucky...... Time is like an arrow, and the earth is barren; The years are like water, and the old and sick ...... die" Yao Jiuyin screamed in a voice like mosquitoes and flies. (To be continued.) )
PS: Time is like an arrow, and the earth is barren; The years are like water, old and sick and dying, which just corresponds to the above sentence! The follow-up will be more exciting! PS: Thank you j73, bass strings, book friends 160328155815253 three great subscriptions.
