Chapter 72: The Bardo Realm
"Oops!"
Without waiting for me to bow my head, the round face that had been cold-eyed suddenly spoke again: "It's almost there!" Stop chattering! ”
The pointed face panicked and pointed at me: "Then what should she do?" ”
"What else can I do?"
Round Face turned his head to look out the window: "Right in this place, throw her down." ”
The pointed face was very approving, clapping his hands: "It's right here!" After crossing the border, she will never be able to return to heaven again. Little girl, what do you see outside the window? ”
I was worried that they would throw me down, and when I heard his question, I subconsciously looked up at the window, and at that moment, a hand reached out from behind me and pushed me violently, and I flew out of the window and hit the street.
Your mother, there is no glass in this window?
I was swept out of the house with a pointed face... Ah no... Out of the window.
When I fell to the ground like a dog eating shit, a bag flew out of it and smashed on my buttocks, followed by a sharp and thin voice: "You thing!" How do you want us to keep it for you? ”
Pick it up and take a look, isn't this the kit I brought with me when I came out?
There are all kinds of charms and spells inside, and the mirror in the lacquer box is also there, and she thought that the bag was taken by Sheng Yourong, and she didn't deduct what she couldn't ask for?
Originally, I didn't have any hope for the bag, but who knew if I lost it and got it back.
I was overjoyed, and hurriedly shouted thank you to the train that was already roaring away, I don't know if the three middle-aged men heard it, I only saw the reflective window from a distance, and the pointed face rolled my eyes.
After a while, the train disappeared at the end of the tracks, and I turned and walked away.
But I didn't see it, and the moment I turned around, the rails on the ground disappeared as the train went away.
What kind of place is this?
I looked at the scene in front of me and was immersed in thinking about life.
The place in front of me is a bit like a scenic spot.
There is a long pavilion where I got off the train, antique, and the buildings around it also have a little red wall and yellow tile eaves and animal heads, which looks like the Hongya Cave in Chongqing from a distance.
It's like a small town.
The town is bustling, people come and go, and those who don't know really think it's a scenic spot.
But I knew that this was not the case, and that those people had a chalk-like aura on them, the same as the people I had just seen on the train. Needless to say, they must have been newly deceased, lingering in this place for some unknown reason.
That's right!
Thinking of this, I hurriedly looked at myself, but remembered that the master said that the master could show the face to the people of the world, but he couldn't show it to himself, so forget it.
At this moment, an old woman came over pushing an ice cream cart, and she didn't seem to be a person who had just died.
When he saw me stop, he smiled and handed over a sharp cone: "Little girl, let's eat something!" ”
As if he saw my thoughts, he added: "I don't want money." ”
I saw that the small cart she pushed said Welcome to...., the words behind the paint fell off and couldn't be seen clearly, it is estimated that the welcome car in the tourist attraction gave away ice cream for free.
I just said thank you and reached out to take it, but suddenly I heard a voice: "Don't eat." ”
I was startled and looked around to see that there was no one.
The old woman in front of me was still looking at me with a smile: "Little girl, why don't you eat it?" ”
"Thank you, mother-in-law."
I handed her back the cone: "I can't ask for it." ”
After saying that, he shoved the ice cream into her hand and ran towards the town.
Running out of the distance, I heard the old lady scolding, and the business was as sharp as a fingernail scratching the blackboard: "Why are young people so cunning now!?" ”
I was shocked, and when I looked back, I was suddenly frightened.
I saw an old woman on my body, obviously a white-faced and red-cheeked paper figure, and the ice cream cart pushed in her hand was also paper paste, and the words on the paper sticky had fallen, so I couldn't see it.
The paper man stared at me with a pair of brush-dotted eyes, looking at me viciously.
I shuddered, turned and ran.
Yes, she's not someone who just died, she's a person who has been dead for a long time!
What she was holding in her hand was not ice cream, it was an ingots candle.
After all, judging from their sharp-faced tones just now, although I am not alive anymore, it seems that I can still be saved. If you really eat the ingots candle given by the dead man, you will be powerless to return to the sky.
What the hell is this place?
"Bardo Realm."
The voice that told me not to eat ice cream just now sounded again: "Do you know what the bardo realm is?" ”
"What's that?"
I was startled again and looked around, "Who are you?" Where are you? ”
"I'm in you."
The voice was very lazy: "I am the bead you picked up by the lake." ”
Bead?
I suddenly remembered that Sheng Yourong and her men were rummaging around the lake with torches, looking for agate beads that they couldn't find, and the things that the earth dragon had cultivated all their lives - dragon treasures.
To put it bluntly, the soul of the earth dragon is also in it.
I sighed in my heart and replied, "Are you the unlucky golden dragon?" ”
"Hey, hey, hey?!"
The voice was very unhappy: "What do you mean by bad luck?" Is that the woman in red too despicable? When one day my dragon flies into the sky, I will definitely make that woman look good. ”
Sheng Yourong is indeed quite hateful.
Since the last time I witnessed her almost killing the little green snake with the whip of the king's corpse in the courtyard of Yu Fei's house, my impression of her has not been very good.
It's no wonder that the young master of the Wei family is going to run away from marriage, who is not afraid of such a ruthless woman, it is estimated that the overlord will have to tremble.
"Hey, hey, hey,"
Seeing that I didn't speak, the bead spoke again: "Why don't you speak, why don't you agree with my statement?" When my dragon flies into the sky, I will kill that woman with thunder and lightning, and tell her to divide her body into five horses. ”
"Five horses are still divided!"
I couldn't help but complain: "You are a bead now, and to put it bluntly, you are a soul." didn't even return the body to the dragon and flew into the sky, it was really mentally retarded. ”
"Hey, hey, hey."
The voice was not only not angry, but also smiled: "Can you help me?" ”
"Me?"
I pointed to the tip of my nose, "How can I help you?" ”
As soon as the beads heard that there was hope, they came directly: "Help me make a body out!" ”
Where do I have that much ability!?
Just as I wanted to speak, Zhu Zi added as if seeing through my thoughts: "This is the bardo realm, and there are some people's obsessions in it. There was an old man in the place where I used to stay who was so impressed by me that he might have fallen into this place with an obsession after he died. You help me find him, and I can use his memories of me to be reborn. ”
To others, these words must be like listening to a book from heaven.
But when I heard the words "Bardo", everything understood.
The bardo realm, as the name suggests, is the place where the bardo body stays.
In the scriptures of Buddhism and Taoism, it is recorded that seven days after death, a person is called the bardo body, and the bardo body is not a ghost to be precise, and it can only become a ghost until the underworld goes to receive the ghost heart.
And in addition to the underworld, there is also a place in the world that is the realm of the bardo body.
The "people" in the bardo realm are no longer simply the bardo body that has been dead for seven days, but an obsession. When people die, because their obsessions are too deep, and they don't have time to go to the underworld for various reasons, they will fall into obsession and fall into the bardo realm.
The "people" here all have obsessions that cannot be eliminated.
For example, some people were misers before they were born, and they are likely to fall into the bardo realm after death because of their deep obsession with money, guarding a pile of gold, silver and jewelry. Some people are obsessed with the goddess, and after becoming obsessed, they fall into the bardo realm, and become the licking dog of the goddess for eternity. Some people are obsessed with life and like alchemy and burning medicine, but they may also become obsessed and sink into the bardo realm for the rest of their lives to swallow pills.
They were so confused that they didn't know they were dead.
Unless one day you suddenly wake up and let go of this obsession, you will never leave this place.
In the bardo realm, there are all worldly wishful minds.
"Yes, yes, yes!"
The beads were in my body, and they seemed to read my thoughts: "That's what I mean." Do you know where I used to be? It was that big lake, which was originally a rice field. ”
I nodded, remembering that the village chief had said that there was originally a large rice field in that place, but later Sheng Yourong discovered that this unlucky dragon not only leveled the rice field, but also used the Thousand Coffins Shen Yin Great Array to immortalize his town, and even the opportunity to fly to the Ascension Riyue Dragon Gate Heavenly Dragon was gone.
Beads sensed that I was quite unhappy to call him a hapless dragon.
But this is also true, and he asked me to help endure the seizure, and continued to tell me the cause and effect: "What, do you know? Actually, I wasn't an earth dragon in the first place, but a small carp. I also climbed through the bottom...."
Carp can indeed transform into a dragon through cultivation, and this is how the Fish Leaping Dragon Gate came about.
It's a truth that grandma is a woman, who doesn't know?
I rolled my eyes in my heart: "Getting to the point." ”
