Chapter 269: The Man's Past
The two of them didn't want to bother, so they had to sit down and watch him quietly.
I don't know how long it took to wait, but the man still didn't seem to want to stop.
After Gu Liusheng and Mu Feng sat beside them for a while, they suddenly heard what seemed to be a voice outside.
The sound was so light that if you didn't listen to it carefully, you wouldn't be able to hear it at all.
Fortunately, just now the two of them were sitting there doing nothing, so they overheard the small voice outside.
Mu Feng got up and was about to go over to check, but at this time, the man suddenly got up and exclaimed, "Don't go and see." ”
But he was still a little late, and he heard Mu Feng already muttering in surprise.
After a while, Mu Feng turned around and looked at the two people behind him very curiously and said, "Outside......
What's that? ”
Her vague words successfully aroused Gu Liusheng's curiosity.
Then I saw Gu Liusheng and immediately ran to the window.
The man looked at the two backs not far from him with a somewhat complicated expression.
The hands behind him also secretly clenched into fists.
Gu Liusheng looked through the window and vaguely saw the scene outside the window.
When he also saw that scene, he began to understand why Mu Feng said that just now.
Originally, he thought that the situation outside should be the same as what they saw in that room.
As soon as they get out of this big bell tower, it will definitely be empty again.
But as it turned out, his feelings were indeed wrong.
This time, they didn't see any passers-by at all, and there were no small vendors selling sugar gourds.
On the contrary, what caught their eyes at this moment was a picture that they couldn't understand.
Gu Liusheng and Mu Feng turned around at the same time, looking at the man behind them with some surprise.
The three of them confronted each other like this for a long time, and finally Gu Liusheng took the lead and said, "What are you bringing the two of us here for?"
What kind of existence is this city? There's nothing mysterious about it here, is it? ”
It's no wonder that Gu Liusheng asked, because in the scene they saw through the window just now, there were two familiar faces.
The two familiar faces were the man behind them and his wife, respectively.
In the picture outside the window, the two of them seem to be overwhelmed by a very powerful force.
Of course, this is not the earth's underground, but through the vast cosmic abyss of the earth.
That is where they are now, and at this time, they completely understood why the man said that ordinary people couldn't come here.
Let's ask, if they were earthlings, how could they conquer the vast universe and come here?
But the picture keeps repeating this scene, and as for why such a scene happened, no one knows.
The man's expression immediately became bohemian.
After a while, I saw that he actually sat directly on the Buddha's hand.
The two Buddha's hands stand symmetrically in the shape of orchid fingers, and the middle part really looks like a seat.
Now he sits in the center of this thousand Buddhas, and he looks like a supreme Buddha.
It's just that the haze on his face at the moment betrayed him, Gu Liusheng and Mu Feng looked at each other.
but immediately raised twelve points of vigilance.
After a while, I heard the man say, "I didn't expect you to see this scene."
Isn't it good for you to sit there obediently? When I've done everything that needs to be done, this place will belong to you, and you can say that it counts, you know?
But why? Why are you so curious? Yes? ”
The more the man spoke, the more excited his tone became, and even his facial features had become completely distorted at the moment.
After listening to his words, Gu Liusheng's face still didn't change much.
The tone was still faint: "You haven't answered my question yet." ”
The man didn't seem to expect that these two people would still be so calm and calm at this moment, without the slightest fear or fear.
At the end of the day, it wasn't what he wanted.
At this time, the man laughed contemptuously again, and then said very sadly, "Do you want to hear the story?"
Haven't you always wondered about this city of the dead?
Haven't you always been curious about my past?
Why would you be interested in sitting down and listening to me tell me my story?
It's just a bit of a long story, so you'll have to be a little patient. ”
Gu Liusheng chuckled softly, and then really found a seat and sat down.
Then he said with a look of indifference: "The most important thing I usually have is patience."
You can start from the beginning, even if it is a plot to tell me in detail, I can listen patiently. ”
Mu Feng glanced at Gu Liusheng, and then couldn't help but lie in her ear and said, "Then what's the matter, don't you forget what we're here for?"
If we drag on for a long time, I'm afraid it will be against us. ”
Gu Liusheng dragged Mu Feng to his side and sat down.
Then he said, "Have you forgotten?"
Our mission is not limited by the time of Xenospace.
At the beginning, Chixue-kun told us that we should protect the people who really have soul fragments.
And then until they die a natural death. However, if a normal person dies of natural causes, it will take decades.
It shouldn't take us decades to listen to him tell a story.
So what are you panicking about? Just let him speak, just listen patiently.
At least we need to figure out what he went to great lengths to get us here for, right? ”
Mu Feng didn't speak again, and he agreed with Gu Liusheng's statement.
So the three of them tacitly sat in their respective places.
The man secretly cured his own language.
Then he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Do you know how humans on Earth came to be?
Do you believe in the existence of Buddha and Nuwa? ”
Gu Liusheng and Mu Feng glanced at each other, and in the end, Mu Feng couldn't help but laugh and said, "That's all fake."
What Buddha and what Nuwa, that is all made up by the human beings on the earth themselves.
You believe such nonsense. They also say that there are dragons in this world.
But they didn't know that the dragon they saw in their eyes and the dragon in their mouth was actually a kind of snake that evolved from ancient times.
They believe in the Buddha and Nuwa, which is actually very simple and can be explained very well.
But in their eyes, the Buddha and Nuwa are gods, and they can do a lot of things that they can't.
Isn't the greatest desire of human beings to get everything they want and to get what they can't get?
In other words. The mountain of excitement in their eyes is actually a potential cover that can satisfy their inner desires. ”
Mu Feng burst out laughing as soon as he said this.
At this time, the man laughed along, but there was still great contempt and ridicule in his laughter.
I heard him say, "Maybe something they made up."
But some things are real.
There is a Buddha in this universe, and the Buddha created the whole universe.
Nuwa is just a god like tiny dust in the entire universe created by the Buddha.
Nuwa rules the earth, but there is nothing on the earth except for the Yang sea, glaciers and rivers.
So Nuwa asked the Buddha for advice, because he was too lonely and he wanted some companions.
The Buddha was very merciful and agreed to him, so Nuwa created the fish in the river.
The flowers and trees of the earth, the birds of the sky, the birds and beasts of the earth.
But that wasn't enough, because none of the animals and plants had any way to communicate with him.
He could feel what was going on in the minds of the animals.
But those animals will never be able to experience its consciousness.
He was still very lonely, and the days passed like this.
I don't know how many years have passed, how many days and nights, how many days and sunsets.
After a few years of fighting, finally one day, she inadvertently transformed into two people who looked similar to him in her sleep.
A man and a woman, these two people she did unintentionally in her sleep.
It was made with his divine sense, and these two people were the only two people to appear on this earth.
For the appearance of these two people, Nuwa is actually very happy.
Because these two people can communicate with him. can also understand what she wants to do in her heart.
And it can also help him do all those things.
Later, the existence of those two people was still known to the Buddha, who was the master of this world.
It is the master of every grain of dust in the entire universe. However, he did not accept another person who existed like Nuwa.
So he ordered Nuwa to dispose of these two people.
But the purpose of the Buddha is not to kill, and Nuwa was sad about this for a long time.
I don't know how long it took, but it was so long that the two of us understood love, and the two of us became husband and wife.
It's been so long that the two of us have children, and it's been so long that the two of us have a bunch of children.
On the same day as the sun rose and sunset, Nuwa found the two of us again.
She told us that we must leave the earth, and that the Buddha's will cannot be reversed.
So she threw us here, in this dark place.
My husband and wife didn't complain about it, but ......"
Before the man's words could be finished, Gu Liusheng suddenly interjected: "But Nuwa refuses to let you take your children away."
So when you are separated, you have hatred in your hearts, and even more resentment? ”
"That's right, at that time, we didn't know what hatred was and what resentment was.
We must be the first humans that Nuwa knew.
We know very little and we are like wild beasts, we just need to fill our stomachs.
But wild beasts also need to mate, and they also need to have children.
So, in fact, it was just a matter of nature for me to marry my wife at that time.
But the separation of flesh and bone is unbearable for any living being.
So over time, in endless thoughts and endless waiting, we never saw Nuwa again.
It is as if we are dust forgotten by this universe.
Over time, we had hatred and resentment in our hearts, so I built this city of death with my wife and all my strength.
As for this big bell tower, it is actually just a tool I used to confuse the Buddha's eyes.
I have to let him see it, and my heart admires him.
But all the spirits that come here will be absorbed by me.
You must have been curious, right? Why do the people here never talk and roam the streets like zombies?
for their spirit has been sucked out by me. Standing on the ground roaming the streets is just a dead spirit without any consciousness.
I absorbed those spirits, and my cultivation grew stronger and stronger, but I still couldn't get out of here.
Because no living person can come here.
When I heard the girl tell us to throw us here, she said that when someone comes to replace us one day, it will be when we go out.
But I've waited too long, and I can't remember tens of thousands of years, hundreds of millions of years.
I've lived here since the beginning of the universe, and now you look at the dead souls roaming the city of the dead.
Some of them are wearing ancient costumes, some are wearing modern costumes, and some are wearing the costumes of the Republic of China, and the times are changing.
The universe is constantly changing, but only the two of us have this infinite life.
But there is no freedom. We can't even remember how long it's been since we've seen real sunlight.
Do you know this loneliness, despair, and endless desolation?
We also want to go out, and we also want to see what the earth has become now.
We also want to ask the Buddha and Nuwa, if we were so intolerant in the first place, why did it come to be human beings like us who ultimately ruled the earth?
As human beings, why should the two of us suffer such injustice?
But maybe the Buddha had compassion, and the two of us finally waited for the two of you.
If you just listened to me finish reciting that string of Buddhist scriptures.
How nice you say that would be. ”
"I'm going, so I got it for a long time, you just chanted that there are words and rules there, in fact, you are reciting some Buddhist scripture for the handover ceremony, right?
You're blatantly praising us, and when the time comes, we'll have to stay here as long as you play with that scripture, right? ”
Mu Feng couldn't help it, immediately jumped up, and then said in a very unkind tone.
The man was not annoyed, but smiled even more relieved.
I heard him say again: "Look, sure enough, even you don't want to stay here and lose your freedom, right?"
Do you know what we're feeling right now?
Do you know how painful it is that we have infinite life, but we don't have unlimited freedom? ”
Gu Liusheng was still very calm, he suddenly got up before, and then looked at the man and said, "In the world here for a long time."
Didn't you even think about running away? After all this time, can't you all figure out a way to escape? ”
As soon as Gu Liusheng asked, the man immediately looked at Gu Liusheng as if he was a fool and said, "The universe is all Buddha's.
Where can we flee to? Even if you escape from here, how can you escape the Buddha's divine consciousness?
Now that the two of you have seen through my scheme, I don't have to continue to disguise it.
You will not be able to escape from this great bell tower, for it is already full of dead spirits that can devour you.
So if you want to live, you have to stay here......"
