Volume 2 Nirvana Chapter 14 White Impermanence
W City, somewhere in a self-built house.
When the twenty-six-year-old man woke up, the house was in shambles, and the fire inside and outside the house was raging. The flames gnawed at the walls and furniture of the room, making a terrifying stabbing sound. The kitchen was blown open by the natural gas, and the wind from outside poured into the house, which made the fire even more fierce.
The young man was frightened and frightened, he got up and looked around in a panic.
"Dad? Father! ”
He couldn't find his dad anymore.
Could it be that it has been consumed by flames?
The young man didn't dare to think about it, he was breathing rapidly, but he couldn't feel his heart pounding, maybe it was nervousness, or maybe the gas in the room paralyzed his nerves.
The young man wanted to run away and save his father, but just as he was hesitating, the door was suddenly kicked open.
It's the fire brigade!
The young man was surprised and delighted, and he waved desperately at the two firefighters, shouting loudly.
"And my dad! Save him! ”
It may have been that the sound of the flames bursting in the house was too loud for the two firefighters to seem to hear, but they did run towards the lad.
The young man didn't expect them to hear, but he waved his hand vigorously.
But what he didn't expect was that the two firefighters went straight through his body!
The young man turned in surprise, his eyes widening for a moment.
On the ground, there is also a self!
The self on the ground, lying on the ground with a pale face, did not move at all. The two firefighters picked up themselves on the ground and shouted.
"This one is dead! What to do?! ”
"The house is all he has! Get out with the corpse! ”
Alone?!
He's dead?!
Corpse?!
I'm dead?!
The young man stayed where he was, his mouth wide open, and his eyes as wide as brass bells.
the ..... I am now.... Soul?
Before the young man could react, he felt a whirlwind of the world, as if he was being dragged out of the room at once.
The young man stumbled and sat down on the ground, and when he looked up, he found himself in the open space about a hundred meters from his home.
At the same time, in front of him, there was also an old man in a white suit. The old man looked at himself quietly with his hands behind his back and a smile on his face.
The young man took a closer look at the old man, his hair and beard were all gray, but he was neatly trimmed, and the whole person looked very personable, very similar to those 'uncle-type men' on the Internet. On the old man's white tie, embroidered with the four small words 'Fortune in a lifetime', these four words are small, but they feel sparkling and make people have to pay attention.
"Come with me, lad." The old man said kindly.
"Where are you going?" The young man was a little scared, he was now a soul, and the person in front of him was white, and he let himself go with him, could it be the impermanence of asking for his life?
"Go to Hades, your yang life has ended, and you have become a spirit. The spirit can't stay here, so it's better to go back to the underworld with me as soon as possible to get a peaceful life. ”
"My life is over, but my death is an accident..... the young man was still unwilling, although he was a little scared, "Is it a certain number that I will die in this fire?" ”
"Hahahaha..... Young man, you think too much. We only came to take you away when we knew you were dead. As for when and why you will die, that is not something we can predict, let alone control. ”
The young man was a little surprised in his heart, the ghosts in his usual impression are extremely fierce with teeth and claws, and this yin difference in front of him is so kind and kind, and.... Still wearing such a modern .....
Suddenly, the old man took out a mobile phone from his trouser pocket, the mobile phone buzzed and vibrate, the old man answered the call, only to hear the voice of a young man on the other side of the phone, the young man spoke Fuzhou dialect.
"Hello? Lao Xie, are you done? ”
"It's over, it's over, I'll take him home." The old man replied with a smile.
"You're slow, I'm going back with three people, come back quickly, let's still make an appointment with those two surnamed Lu to play cards, don't be late."
The old man hung up the phone with a smile and looked at the young man.
"Look, someone is urging me, let's go back quickly."
"Where are you going? Netherworld? You guys are black and white, aren't you? Am I going to hell?! The young man stepped back.
"What kind of hell to go to, it's just a different place to live. You young man, thanks to my good temper, I have to tie you up if I replace it with Little Brother Fan to pick you up. Let's go. The old man took out a wooden sign and threw it upwards, and the wooden sign floated in the air, emitting a faint green light.
"Your side happens to be an enchantment, and it's more convenient to come and go, which is good." The old man said gracefully.
Suddenly, a woman's voice came from the wooden sign.
"Identify yourself."
The old man cleared his throat, "I am Bai Impermanence, Xie Bi'an"
"Debriefing."
"The new spirit guide lamp has failed, and I will bring it back personally."
"Yes."
The green light emitted by the wooden sign suddenly expanded the range, and for a moment the young man's eyes were full of green light, and he felt dizzy and even a little unbalanced. He closed his eyes tightly, trying to keep his center of gravity. After he felt stable, he slowly opened his eyes, and as expected, he had changed places.
It is surrounded by tall ancient Chinese buildings, with red walls and green tiles, simple and majestic. The young man looked around and saw that this was not like the Netherworld shown on TV, it was more like an ancient city. All kinds of ancient buildings are lined up one after another, and the forms are different. But somehow, the buildings, the walls, and even the floor felt a little dark. He looked up, and it was not sky or pitch black, but a faint layer of green light, enveloping the city.
It seems that the light source here is also the layer of green light from above.
Is this the underworld.....?
The young man thought to himself, he felt extremely shocked.
"By the way, what is that spiritual lamp you just mentioned?" The young man had a lot of questions in his mind at the moment, and he wanted to ask as clearly as he could.
"Oh, the lamp that guides man's spirit to Hades after death. Wherever the lamp shines, his spirit will follow him involuntarily, and when he reaches the junction between Hades and your world, the lamp will automatically bring him in. ”
"Then why did you bring me?" The young man asked, puzzled.
"Who knows, sometimes there will be this kind of malfunction, and the spiritual lamp will not work, so I will go and take him back here myself. Some people may also be too ideologically strong and do not respond to the guidance of the lamp, and we have to go. Usually the bad guys don't react, so my partner has to use force to forcibly bring him back. The old man paused, "After all, so many people died on this day, and we are only two of us in black and white, so how can we be busy if we have to pick them all up in person?" ”
The old man said, waved his hand, and pointed to a gate carved with flowers, "The new spirits are all registered here, there are many people today, you have to line up." Go for it. ”
"Oh....." The young man was a little overwhelmed, he hadn't accepted his death for a while, and now he was doing something inexplicably registered in the legendary underworld.
As soon as the young man entered the gate, he found that it was a very large courtyard inside, and the courtyard was full of ghosts.
Some ghosts have broken their necks in half, and their heads are hanging sideways; Some of the demons crawled on the ground, their faces rotten, and their hands and feet were broken. There are also ghosts that are more complete, but they are sick, or old..... These ghosts all remained the same as when they died, and when they saw so many strange and terrifying ghosts, even though they had become ghosts, the young man was still a little scared.
At the same time, seeing these ghosts lining up in an orderly manner, the young man thought it was very funny. He chuckled as he groped his body to see if there were any flaws.
Suddenly, from his clothes, a cloth bag fell out.
The young man picked up the cloth bag and opened it to see that there was a mask inside.
This is the ancestral mask that my father gave him! How did you come here with yourself?!
The young man was shocked and suspicious, it seems that this mask must not be simple!
He quickly put away his mask, but suddenly felt a dazzling green light all the time above him. He touched the top of his head, only to find a lamp, hanging silently above him.
