Chapter 148: The Realm of the Bardo
I'll explain this later, and the top priority is to bring Ao Yu out of the bardo realm first.
Ao Taiqing was not calm when he heard it: "The legend of the Yin Realm is ethereal, and there are no more than ten people in the world who can find it, do you know where it is?" ”
That's a coincidence.
The old man had a booklet in his hand, which was dedicated to how to enter the bardo realm.
Speaking of which, this matter is also thanks to a female ancestor of our Xiao family, if it weren't for her bizarre experience, our descendants surnamed Xiao wouldn't know where they were in the bardo realm like everyone else.
What was the experience?
Here's the thing.
In that codex, the record of the bardo realm was left by a female ancestor of the Xiao family, and her period was a time of social turmoil in the Republic of China.
At that time, my female ancestor was accidentally arrested by local elements.
There were many other people who were arrested with her, all of them underground elements or people who were treated as underground elements, both men and women. All locked up in a large classroom at a school.
The female ancestors thought that they were just being arrested and released when it was found out that they were not underground.
Who knew that the organization that arrested them had no intention of releasing them at all, and they planned to lock them up in the school and blow them all up, leaving no one behind.
The female ancestor was very scared at the time, thinking that she had joined Mr.'s business, and she hadn't accumulated any experience or enjoyed life, so it was nothing to die like this, the key was that she still owed her neighbors four oceans and didn't pay it back, wouldn't it be unclear and innocent to die like this, and it would affect your reputation when she was alive? It's a bit bad to just die like this, right?
But I can't help it, I've been arrested.
Outside the classroom, it has also been surrounded by people from that organization, and now they are still putting bombs or something, and in a short time, as long as their commander gives an order, they can blow up all the scum in this classroom.
After a while, I heard the command from outside, and the bomb had been lit.
The female ancestor's ears were full of roaring sounds, and now that she was dying, she couldn't care about anything else, she just squatted on the ground with her head in her hands, thinking that the money she owed could only be repaid in the next life. Then she only heard a bang, and the female ancestor didn't know anything when it was dark in front of her, but she always had a thought in her heart: Will people see hell after they die?
When I opened my eyes again, the female ancestor was on a train.
She slept on a hard seat, and there were three men beside her, and when you looked closely, these three men were all three people who were arrested as underground elements with her and trapped in the classroom together.
At that time, they were next to them in the classroom, and a few of them were chatting.
Now that I saw that they were there, I was now on the train when I was supposed to be killed, and I asked if I was dead? The men all smiled and said she had been saved.
The three men said that their little friend rushed to save them before the explosion, and they saw that the female ancestor was pitiful and took her away.
The female ancestor looked at the speeding train, and there were unfamiliar scenes outside, and asked them where they were taking themselves?
None of the three men spoke, only a man with a very humorous language, who couldn't help the female ancestor's question, and replied: "Vietnam." ”
When the female ancestor heard this, she was shocked, what was she going to Vietnam for, and repeatedly told me not to go to Vietnam.
But the three men said that you should be quiet for a while, now that the country is treating you as an underground, where can you go if you don't go to Vietnam? The female ancestor was right to think about it, she could go to Vietnam to hide for a while, and then go back when the limelight passed.
A few people soon arrived at what they called Vietnam, a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, similar to Guilin, and also built water pavilions and promenades, and many people came to this place to play.
The three men put the ancestor in the street and told her not to move there, and they would come and pick her up later.
The old ancestor was curious, so he walked a few steps down the street.
She saw a small alley, so she walked in, there was a small shop inside, and the amazing thing was that there was a telephone in this small shop, which was the kind of place that she usually saw on TV, the kind of drunken and gold-obsessed place in Shanghai, and it was a rotary phone that could only be used by people who were either rich or noble.
The female ancestor hurriedly walked in and wanted to ask the boss if he could borrow the phone.
She wanted to call her home and tell them that she was in Vietnam and that they should not worry. As soon as I entered the small shop, I found that the owner inside actually knew me.
This boss is none other than a well-known wealthy businessman in the society at that time, Niu Wanyou, the boss of Wanyou Ticket Number. He is very famous in the country, and his photos often appear in the headlines of major newspapers, so the female ancestor knows Niu Wanyou, but Niu Wanyou doesn't know her.
Xie Sifei hurriedly asked, what happened later?
I said, "As soon as the female ancestor saw that she could still meet acquaintances in Vietnam, she went up to say hello and asked Boss Niu if she could borrow your phone and use it I wanted to call home." ”
"Boss Niu was very generous and lent her the phone and told her to call casually."
The female ancestor picked up the phone very gratefully, but when she was about to dial, she found that she couldn't remember the phone number at home anyway.
"Because the female ancestor is a cultivator, she reacted quickly."
"Maybe when that field exploded, I was already killed, and now where I am is is actually the underworld. This yin and yang are not connected, and of course I can't remember the number of the yang world. ”
"The female ancestor was very uncomfortable when she thought about it, and she died like this?"
"The only number she has in her soul is her grandfather's, but can she call her grandfather now? What did you say? Say you're dead? ”
"Boss Niu didn't act when he saw the female ancestor holding the phone, so he asked the little girl if you still call?"
The female ancestor hung up the phone, and she remembered that if she died now, then she saw Boss Niu here, wouldn't this Boss Niu also die?"
"She asked Boss Niu, what are you doing here?"
"Boss Niu said he came to travel."
"The female ancestor was still thinking that it would be good to have money, and the yin and yang worlds could come and travel. Just return the phone to Boss Niu, at this time, the three men who brought me just now found themselves and said why are you running around? ”
"The female ancestor said that it was all your fault, and you didn't tell me that I was already dead, and you were all dead, right?"
But the three men laughed and said that they were dead anyway, so they might as well go and play with kites together.
After saying that, he tied the female ancestor to the kite, and the female ancestor didn't know what was going on at the time and didn't refuse, but felt that she was used as a kite and flew so high. It's almost flying into the clouds. ”
"She was flying in the air for a while, and suddenly she felt soreness in her legs, and she fell off the clouds."
"This fall, the female ancestor woke up suddenly."
"She's on a mountain, a mass grave on a hill to be exact, surrounded by dead people. My legs were numb just now, because a wild dog had eaten the flesh of his own feet because he had taken him for a dead man. ”
"Wait, wait, wait!"
Xie Sifei was puzzled when he heard this: "Senior brother, what's going on?" Didn't your ancestor die then? Why did you come back to your soul again? ”
I glanced at Xie Sifei blankly: "You can't finish listening?" ”
The female ancestor also woke up and felt very surprised, what happened to her staying with a bunch of dead people, and suddenly she saw the three people again, walking towards her in a daze.
The man who has always been very talkative and humorous said to the female ancestor: "We are public officials of the underworld, because we were assigned by the underworld to go on business in the world, and unfortunately we were arrested with you, which can be regarded as fate." In the classroom, we saw that they had ordered explosives, and we wanted to save your life, so we had to take you with us. Later, before the explosion, they came to count the people in the house, and when they found that you were dead, they threw your body into the mass grave, which is where you are now. ”
"Fortunately, the leader who put explosives outside the classroom has a special habit, and he doesn't want to use explosives to kill people, otherwise even if you are hooked by us, you will have to be blown up in seven or eight pieces, and you will never be able to return your soul again."
Another said, "The Vietnam we took you to is not actually Vietnam, but a special place." ”
"A special place?"
When the female ancestor heard this, she asked, "Is it the underworld?" ”
"Of course not."
The man said, "You are not dead, your soul has not become a ghost, so you can't go to the underworld, you were a bardo body at that time, we had to take you to the bardo realm for a walk, and the people you saw there were the same as you, the bardo body." Now you're back to your soul and free. ”
The female ancestor hurriedly thanked them.
But they said that there was no need to thank her, the situation was urgent at that time, because she was not dead, she could not take her to the underworld but to the Nether Realm, and told her not to tell anyone about this matter, let alone the matter of the Nether Realm.
The female ancestor hurriedly agreed, and the three people disappeared.
As soon as she saw them gone, she patted her ass and descended from the mass grave.
When I went down the mountain, I heard everyone talking about a big news: Niu Wanyou, the boss of Wanyou Ticket Number, died, and he died for more than a day or two, and he had been dead for several months. In order not to let people know, their family was afraid that the turmoil caused by Niu Wanyou's death would outweigh the losses, not only did they not mourn, but also made Niu Wanyou into a dry corpse by some means, so that he would not rot for the rest of his life. Later, it somehow broke out and caused a discussion in the whole society.
When the female ancestor heard this, she remembered the cow boss she saw in the bardo realm.
Is it any wonder that he opened a small shop in the bardo realm?
He has been dead for several months, and because his family doesn't give him a burial, he can't go to the underworld to be a ghost, so he can only linger in the middle of the netherworld. His family probably felt quite guilty about him in their hearts, and burned a lot of things for him, so that he could continue to open a small shop in the bardo realm.
Later, the female ancestor returned home, although no one told about it.
But she later became the head of the family, and she still wrote this matter into the secret codex of the Xiao family, which was only passed on to the descendants of the Xiao family, and later passed on to the old man, otherwise I would not have seen it.
I said, "The ancestor recorded in the codex that the means of transportation to the bardo realm is actually a train, and this train comes in the middle of the night when no one is around, and it is not the road of the world, so we can't see it. ”
Xie Sifei listened: "Then don't you see what we're waiting for?" Why don't you go and find the place where the train passes?! ”
