Chapter 101: First Death
As the saying goes, death is like a lamp going out, and it is also said that everything in the world is like a passing cloud, but when the moment of real death, how many people can face it calmly?
The aunt's angry scolding accompanied by the tragic wail became farther and farther away, and the team behind her continued to be joined by freshly baked ghosts, and the new comrades seemed to be unable to accept the fact that they were dead, and they couldn't let go of all the things in the yang world, or family affection, or love, or money, or power. So they couldn't let go of these and found that they were dead, and suddenly they cried wolf, some of them were more excited, and even wanted to run away from the team and run back, they didn't know where to go, but they didn't want to die.
The consequences of disobedience to management were terrible, the whips in the hands of the yin cha standing on both sides of the team were as cold and merciless as this cold dungeon, and they were also very painful, so another ghost crying wolf howl came, and it was more painful and ...... than the previous one.
Compared to them, my heart is calmer. I don't know what I'm thinking, even the infinite sadness of a second ago is gone, although I am still very guilty, but death is really like a lamp going out, I can't go back, even if I'm Mr. Yin and Yang, there is no possibility of going back.
I really want to know what happened to my grandfather, whether he survived from Liu Xiaorong's hands, but I can't do anything, I am desperate on this road, and I have no possibility of turning back on this road.
After calming down, I finally remembered Song Mink, she won't die, yes, she is a nine-tailed cat with nine lives, and no matter how serious the injury is, she will recover in one night. After thinking about this, I feel a lot better. It's just that I won't see her smile anymore, which makes me a little hard to accept. The relationship between us is really vague, to say that we are just friends, but how can friends often hold hands and hug each other? To say that we are lovers, but I have never said that I love her. I really want to see her again, follow my heart's thoughts, officially confess to her face to face, and make our tacit relationship public.
But there is no if, I shook my head and smiled bitterly, this is actually very good, if I can't go on with her, why should I let her be sad for me again?
Forget it, death is a fate that I can't escape, I have wandered in the ghost gate more than once, and I have long known that I will die, and the jokes I have made again and again before have exhausted me, and death is also a relief for me! At least you don't have to worry about going to bed one day and never waking up again.
My twenty-year-old catastrophe was not fulfilled on time, it should be the negligence of fate that caused me to live for half a year longer, which can be regarded as earning.
I don't know why, at this moment, my brain is extremely calm, as if there is a mysterious force affecting my mind, and there is no reluctance to the world in my heart, nor hatred for Liu Xiaorong.
I used to think that after death, there would be ghosts to come to hook the soul, but now it seems that I was wrong, even if I am a yin and yang gentleman, I still know very little about the underworld, I still remember that I was directly swept into the underworld by a strong suction, and after the consciousness fell into darkness for a short time, when I woke up again, I was already in the underworld.
At that time, I also had the idea of running away in my heart, but I only gave up after seeing the power of the whip in the hands of the ghosts standing on both sides of the line, and now I don't have this idea in my heart anymore, in fact, none of the people in front of me are either, and the uncles and aunts who cried and shouted before seemed to have a sudden epiphany, and honestly followed the team step by step. It stands to reason that there are definitely a lot of people who are nostalgic for the world after death, and there are some who die unjustly, but why don't any ghosts resist?
Later, I slowly understood that there must be some means to suppress resentment in a huge underworld, otherwise there are so many ghosts, wouldn't it be very difficult to manage, just like a mob in troubled times, killing one and a bunch, and the ghosts with great resentment are much more ferocious than the mob in troubled times.
And this method should be more and more influential as time goes by, for example, behind me, there is basically a new entry into the underworld, noisy like a nursery, and after ten minutes, all the ghosts are honest, it seems that within ten minutes from the nursery to the primary and secondary schools.
It's the first time I've seen this kind of scene waiting in line for reincarnation, and this sentence is undoubtedly scolding in the yang world, but it is very reasonable in the underworld.
The long line could not be seen at a glance, but for some reason it arrived quickly, a huge city gate seemed to be towering into the sky, and when I looked up, the three big characters written on it 'Xudu City' gave people a very heavy sense of oppression.
The city gate is very quiet, and there is a couplet written on both sides of the round arch, which reads: With the joys and sorrows on the stage to prove the joys and sorrows off the stage, you know that life is a play; The taste of the world is sweet and sour, and the bitterness of the world is bitter and sour, and the familiar saying seems to be false and true. Horizontal criticism is relatively simple, just the words 'a big dream'.
I have to say that there are still capable people in the underworld, not to mention anything else, just this couplet alone is very thought-provoking. The meaning is nothing more than to tell the world that the past is like a big dream, and you should let go when you wake up, no matter how difficult it is to let go of the yang world, it is just a dream, and the world after death is true.
There are two yin differences standing under the couplet, different from the yin differences standing on both sides of the line when queuing before, these two yin differences are undoubtedly much more real, I saw that their faces were pale and cold, wearing a black ancient hunting costume, holding a spear glowing with forest light in their hands, although they stood straight, a pair of sharp eyes scanned the surroundings back and forth, as if they were ready to give the little ghost who couldn't open their eyes a cold heart.
There is a small table in front of the two yin cha, and a ghost cha with the same pale face but relatively tall clothes at a glance is holding a thread-bound book in his hand, responsible for finding out the identity of each ghost who enters the capital city, for example, when it was the turn of a buddy in front of me, the ghost cha looked up lightly, then looked down at the book in his hand, and read: "Li Ming, born in the year of Yi Chou, when he was in the year of Yi Chou, when he was in the year of Yi Youyue Ding Si Ri Gengzi, died in the year of Chou Xin Wei Yue Gengchen Day, the cause of death, the end of life ....... After reading it, he took out a brush and hooked it on the book, and raised his hand to signal the person named Li Ming to enter.
When it was my turn, I stepped forward and stared at the book in the ghost's hand, as if it hadn't turned over the book, but it looked at it anyway, and then said my birthdate, is this the legendary book of life and death? My eyes glanced down slightly, and I found that I was thinking too much, and the cover of the book was written "Inspection Book", and it was also such an important thing that the book of life and death was, and the legend has always been in Zhong Kui's hands, and he could take people's lives between a hook and a painting, of course, if he could go through the back door with Judge Zhong, it didn't seem difficult for him to add thirty or fifty years of life.
Although it is impossible to go through the back door with Judge Zhong, it also shows the power of the book of life and death, which can change the life expectancy! Like my previous situation, what if the five elements are missing? What if fate doesn't let me live past the age of twenty? As long as the book of life and death is changed, Lao Tzu can't die if he wants to.......
Ahem, don't think about this kind of thing, the legend says that Zhong Kui is selfless and jealous like hatred, and if he wants him to help, I guess if he doesn't kill me in advance, I will be benevolent and righteous. Compared to changing life and death, looking for the three clear pendants couldn't be simpler.
The ghost in front of me lowered his head and read out my date of birth and death, and the cause of my death was also my death, although the end of my twenty-one years old is hard to believe, but it is indeed true.
Sure enough, I saw that the ghost had finished reading the time of my death and then recited: "The cause of death, the ...... of life." ”
It's just that after reading this longevity word, the next last word has not been pronounced for a long time, only to see it raise its head and stare at me with wide eyes, a little puzzled, and it seems to murmur in its mouth: "No, I should have died half a year ago, how could I have lived until now?" ……。 ”
Although its voice was small, I could hear it clearly when I got closer, so I looked at it and wondered, why should I have died half a year ago?
The ghost was only puzzled for a moment, and seemed unwilling to make trouble for himself, so he looked at me impatiently and waved his hand, the meaning was very clear, that is, to tell me to get out of here.
Well, the territory belongs to other people, and the two ghosts standing at the gate of the city looked at me with unkind eyes, and at this time, I didn't want to be stabbed through the cold, so I had to hurry into the city gate.
The city gate seemed to be blocked by something, and I couldn't see the inside from the outside, but when I walked through the city gate, I was stunned. It's too different from what you imagined.
I saw that I appeared on a wide street, surrounded by stalls, restaurants, restaurants, etc., and even the surrounding shouting sounds were like in costume films, but the shot was very grand, as if the crew was very willing to spend money, and the low-rise buildings that could not see the end at a glance were only three or four floors, all built of pure wood.
If it weren't for the cold gray around me and the variety of clothes worn by the 'dragon suits' on the street, both modern and ancient, I would have even suspected that I had crossed over.
Raising my footsteps and walking lightly on the street, I wondered in my heart, shouldn't the imaginary underworld really be like this, right, shouldn't it be arranged for a yin judgment, and then I should be reincarnated, I should go to the eighteen layers of hell and the eighteen layers of hell? What's going on now? Do you want me to settle in this city?
After all, it was the first time I died, and I had no experience, so I wandered cautiously on the streets of the city, and from time to time I was curious to look at what was sold on the stalls on both sides, but I didn't dare to move too much, I didn't know what the situation was, and I was like a dirt bun who had just entered the city, and I was full of curiosity and fear when I saw anything.
