Chapter 178: Sailing
I asked what the stunt was.
Chen Meiyu shook her head and said I don't know, if everyone knows it, then what kind of unique stunt is it. As we were talking, her phone called, and after answering it, she made a few more and more strange sounds, and she looked at me, and then she made a few more words.
I noticed something was wrong, it was her personal phone number, and it was difficult to ask carefully, so I was suspicious.
Chen Meiyu said directly: "It was Li Damin who called, and he said that he had something important to discuss with me." Aren't you two good like one person, what's the matter with him? ”
I was a little surprised, Li Damin, who was in retreat, finally came out of the customs, but I didn't expect that the first person I found was Chen Meiyu. I shook my head and was about to say something, when a message came from my mobile phone, I picked it up and saw that it was from Li Damin.
Li Damin told me in the message that he had made an appointment with Chen Meiyu and asked me to come together tomorrow night to discuss important matters.
I showed the information to Chen Meiyu, saying that I didn't know anything about Li Damin.
Chen Meiyu sighed and refused my request to send her back, she looked at the dark sky and said softly that the sky was going to change.
At dinner the next day, we went to a café in the city as agreed. Li Damin and Chen Meiyu had already arrived first, and the two were chatting about something. When I looked at Li Damin, the situation was still not optimistic, he came in a wheelchair, and his legs still couldn't be used.
I greeted them, and Li Damin said, "You came just in time, Miyu and I have already finished talking about this just now, and she agreed." ”
"What's the matter?" I scratched my head in confusion.
Li Damin said: "Don't forget that we have to go to the dragon slaying to get the reverse scales, and then we can summon Meng Po." I have already told Mei Yu just now that the two of us will enter her father Chen Jian's bardo realm again, find the dragon that Chen Jian's mother turned into, and obtain the reverse scale. ”
"Would you like this?" I asked Chen Meiyu in surprise.
Chen Meiyu said lightly: "My mother and father have completely broken up, and my father is not good either, his sins in his life are too heavy, if you want to go, you can go." But I'm not going to help, it's up to you to do what you can do. ”
"What's your dad's condition now?" I asked with a frown.
"He still has his last breath and is lying in the hospital, just as he is dying. If you want to go to the hospital, you can only go to the hospital to do it, and I can only guarantee you one night. ”
Li Damin immediately said: "Enough is enough, no problem." ”
Chen Meiyu drank half a cup of coffee in one gulp, "Okay, come over tonight." ”
When she left, I looked at Li Damin and looked up and down.
Li Damin smiled bitterly: "Don't ask anything, my situation is very troublesome, and I will finish your affairs first when I get out of the customs for the time being." ”
"Did you succeed or fail?" I asked.
Li Damin said: "It's not about success or failure, I'm doing experiments, it's very complicated here, and you don't understand it." ”
He was mysterious all day long, and I didn't bother to delve into it, "No matter what, I still have to thank you and free up your hands to help me." ”
Li Damin smiled: "There is no need to say more if we are friends, I promised you this matter before, people can't be untrustworthy." As my practice deepens, I feel that this pool of water is getting deeper and deeper, and I will probably leave Jiangbei City in the near future to go to other hidden places, maybe leave China. Before leaving, you must first take care of everything at hand. ”
"You're leaving?" I was a little surprised, a little lost, and I didn't feel good.
"Hmm." Li Damin nodded, and his attitude was resolute: "Jiangbei City is too small, if I want to practice further, I must visit the masters of the Three Mountains and Five Mountains, and there are more reclusive masters overseas, my purpose is to pursue the Great Dao, and nothing else is a problem." ”
I shook his hand: "Then I wish you a smooth journey in advance." ”
Li Damin nodded: "Before leaving, I was most concerned about your business." Get my aunt back from the bardo realm, even if my task is completed, I can go steadily. ”
Li Damin and I have experienced a lot, from the beginning of looking for Wang Yue, to now going to peel off the scales, which can be regarded as life and death. There are many differences in philosophy and values between us, and there have been many conflicts, but it does not prevent the two of us from being friends.
"Will you remember me after you get the Great Dao?" My words are a bit bleak.
"When the time comes, if you want, I'll come and save you."
Hearing Li Damin say this, I smiled slightly, it was really his style.
In the evening we arrived at the Central Hospital, where Chen Jian was in a single room on the top floor of the inpatient department. After finding it, Chen Meiyu was the only one in the ward, she was peeling apples, and Chen Jian was lying on the hospital bed next to her.
When I saw this man again after many days, I felt very pitiful, his whole body was full of tubes, and his bare skin was wrapped in layers of bandages, especially his face, leaving only two eyes, nostrils, and mouth.
Listening to Chen Meiyu, her father is only alive by the medical definition now, and his heartbeat is not drawn into a straight line, in fact, it is almost like dead. Every day is maintained by nutrient solution and glucose, and it may be over at some point.
Chen Meiyu said: "The two of you are now improving your Dao, so you don't need me to send you in again." ”
Li Damin smiled faintly: "I also ask Miss Chen to take care of our body." ”
"Don't worry, no one will come tonight."
Li Damin took out the Delta hat from his bag and put it on his head, I don't know much about this thing, in addition to being able to take Li Damin through parallel worlds, it should also be able to enter the realm of bardo.
I'm very simple, he goes in and I'll just follow him with a psychic bracelet.
Everything was ready, Chen Meiyu sat by the door, quietly peeling apples. Li Damin and I entered the bardo realm one after the other.
When we opened our eyes, we had arrived, a huge cavern with light shining down from our heads, and at the bottom of the cave was a large black lake with arched bridges connecting the two banks.
This place is very familiar, we have been here before, this is the last layer of Chen Jian's seven-layer bardo realm, and the dragon that his mother turned into at that time was in the innermost part of this lake.
When Li Damin arrived here, he still had no legs, and crawled quickly like a lizard with his hands on the ground.
"There!" He screamed suddenly, followed his gestures, and saw a man sitting at the foot of the arched bridge, and only a vague shadow could be seen in the distance.
We walked over and got closer, only to see that it was Chen Jian.
Chen Jian sat there, staring blankly at the water in the black lake, not knowing what he was thinking.
I'm already familiar with psychic bracelets, and I can be invisible or visible in the bardo realm, and now I'm in my own form.
Li Damin greeted, "Uncle Chen." ”
Chen Jianhao raised his head for a long time and looked at us, he smiled bitterly: "Brother Damin, don't call me uncle, it's so awkward." Here you are my cousin, and our relationship remains the same, according to this generation. ”
"What's wrong with you?" Li Damin asked.
Chen Jian was endlessly sad, "At the beginning, I desperately wanted to live, which was the reason that supported me to survive the bardo realm and return to yang, but after I went back, my mother didn't recognize me, especially Meiyu's mother, seeing me was like seeing an enemy." What do you say I'm going back to do, I've suffered a lot of physical sins, and I've been tortured mentally. People, you have to accept your fate, you have to die, you have to die, forcibly transfer against the sky, even if you come back alive...... Hehe, so what. ”
He sighed and looked at us, his eyes were deeply sad, "I'm leaving, this time I'm not going to the bardo realm, but the real underworld, where I will face judgment, no matter how I punish me, I will admit it." ”
As he spoke, a small paper boat floated slowly from the depths of the lake, but it was the size of a palm, and a thin candle burned on it, and the faint flame flickered.
The small paper boat did not spin on the surface of the lake, but seemed to be blowing in an invisible wind, slowly approaching us.
Chen Jian stood up, straightened his clothes, and stared at the dancing flames, as if reminiscing about his life.
"Alright. It's time for me to go. He looked at us and said, "You brothers should be good at yourself, and don't think about the regrets of your life until you are dying." ”
I was in a hurry and hurriedly shouted, "Uncle Chen, where is the dragon under the lake?" ”
At this time, the boat had already docked to the shore, Chen Jian took a step forward and stepped into the water, a man as big as him stepped on the boat in the water, according to common sense, one foot had to collapse, but a strange thing happened, he stepped on it and small, and his whole body shrank to the boat, and the whole process did not seem to be in harmony.
The boat is small and exquisite, and Li Damin and I are lying on the shore and watching, just like watching the scene in Lilliputia. The boat has a canopy, and there are no boaters in sight, only Chen Jian's small person standing on the bow with his hands behind his back. At this moment, the boat moved, slowly passing towards the depths of the black lake.
"Uncle Chen, you say, what about the dragon? What about the dragon your mother turned into? "I'm in a hurry, I'm here to find the dragon, and I can't run for nothing.
As the boat drifted farther and farther away, Chen Jian's voice was as thin as a mosquito and a fly, but he could hear it very clearly, coming from a distance, "After I leave, everything will be known." ”
A glimmer of light from the boat faded into the darkness, gone.
Li Damin and I looked at each other. I suddenly thought of a question: "Damin, if people die, will the realm of bardo still exist?" ”
Li Damin condensed and said: "It shouldn't exist, the realm of bardo is born from this person's state of mind, and people are gone, so it is specified that they can't be here." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the whole cave began to shake, and there was an earthquake.
We saw that the whole lake was in a strange shape, and countless small whirlpools appeared on the surface of the lake in the extreme shock, and made a strange rumbling sound.
