Chapter 574: Dusty Memories (Part II)

Qingyazi: "It's not reserved for the living, so isn't it for ghosts?" ”

The man didn't respond, just frowned and fell into deep thought.

After a long time, he looked up at the sunset outside the window that was about to disappear, and said in a muffled voice: "It's not a ghost or a corpse, it's hard to be successful, those things are extravagant comparisons that have not become corpses." ”

It is not so much that these words are a response to Qing Yazi, but that Kankandao is talking to himself.

I asked Kankan Daoren: "Is it a corpse?" ”

Last year, when I was confined in the West Hall, I had looked through the collection of the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and there was a kind of corpse god recorded in the Great Wilderness East Classic of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", the original text was "There is a god, a human face, dog ears, a beast body, and two green snakes, the name is luxuriant." However, according to the research of the previous generation of old masters, this so-called corpse god should never exist, and it is still a mystery why it appears in the Book of Mountains and Seas.

Kankandao nodded, shook his head again, and did not give a clear answer.

Qing Yazi seemed to be a little anxious, so he urged: "Is this note left by the spirit medium to Yubi?" ”

Kan Kandao's reaction was the same as just now, he nodded first, and then shook his head, no one could understand what he meant, not even Qingyazi.

Qingyazi was urging again: "Old Zhou, what do you mean by this?" ”

This time, Kankan Daoist sighed and said, "I can't see through the things here." But one thing is for sure, that medium must have some connection to those things. Before, I thought that there was well water between them, but now things are a little more than I expected. ”

I said, "It's imperative to find the medium first, and if you find him, you can figure out a lot of things." ”

Kankan Daoren looked a little helpless: "I don't know where he went?" ”

Qing Yazi's face became more and more solemn: "Your Qiankun eyes, can't you find him?" ”

Kankan Daoren sighed: "My Qiankun eyes can indeed see what happened here three days ago, but I just can't find him." ”

Qingyazi: "Didn't you just see him linger at the door for a while, and after that, did he disappear out of thin air?" ”

He turned his gaze to the window and said quietly, "After he left the door, he followed the path and walked due west until he came to the window. ”

It seemed that he only said half of the words, and then there was no follow-up, and Qing Yazi began to urge him again: "Then what? ”

Kankan Daoren's eyes narrowed: "He has been standing in front of the window and has never left." ”

I don't know what's wrong, but when I said this, the cold brush on my back was all erected, and I immediately turned my head to look at the window, but I could only see the sunset that was about to sink into the horizon, and nothing else.

Qing Yazi was the same as me, and with a pair of eyes, he turned to the window, and then he frowned: "Old Zhou, your Qiankun eyes, it won't be a problem, right?" ”

Kan Kan said: "Qiankun's eyes can't be mistaken, he just keeps standing in front of the window, but now, I can't see him." ”

Qing Yazi's brows furrowed even tighter, and he stared at Kan Kandao silently, without saying a word for a long time.

Wu Lin walked over, stood between me and Qingyazi, and said expressionlessly: "It's going to be dark." ”

The man looked at the brown paper in my hand again, and then his gaze fell on the jacket that was used to wrap him, and he frowned sharply.

"Do you recognize this dress?" I asked, staring at the man's face.

Kankan Daoren nodded sullenly: "This dress belongs to Da Shi, he is our leader, and he is also the most radical rebel on this road, in a martial arts fight at the intersection, Da Shi lost an arm, and since then, his clothes have all become like this." ”

I asked Qingyazi, "Do you know that person too?" ”

Qing Yazi gritted his teeth, and his cheeks also agitated: "That guy is a madman." At the time of the Cultural Revolution, after the Cultural Revolution, he was still a madman. ”

Kankan Taoist looked at the sunset outside the window, his eyes became a little blurred, and after Qing Yazi said this, he exhaled a long breath and said a past related to the great history.

It's a long talk, so I'll just pick up the main points.

Like Qingyazi, Kankan Daoist also believes that this person called Dashi is an out-and-out madman, that kind of madness has penetrated deep into the bone marrow and nerves, and if you want to define this kind of madness, it is the extreme enthusiasm - extreme fanaticism for rebellion and struggle.

That kind of fanaticism can not only destroy oneself, but also have an irreversible impact on those around you.

According to Kankan Daoren's recollections, the reason why he wore the red armband at the beginning was not that he really wanted to make a revolution, but that he was the eyeliner sent by the organization to the rebels, on the one hand, to monitor the actions of the rebels, and on the other hand, to protect those colleagues who were caught by the Red Guards.

Before joining the torrent of revolution, Zhou Kankan thought that his mind was firm enough, and no matter which direction he thought from, he could not be influenced by those fools who got carried away, let alone become a person like them.

It's a pity that he was wrong, because he met the Great History.

As for how he met Da Shi and how he was transformed by Da Shi and became a loyal rebel, Zhou Kankan did not mention it, he just said that after getting along with Da Shi for a while, he actually began to doubt his own sect, and in his heart, he thought that he was a bull ghost and snake god who harmed the world.

He also became as fanatical as Dashi, he thought that this fanaticism was his nature, but in addition to the fanaticism, the fear in Zhou Kankan's heart protected him, he had seen Dashi's cruel methods of treating "sinners", and the fear in his heart also made him dare not tell Dashi his true identity, such deception made him feel guilty, and in order to make up for the sin, he became the most loyal supporter of Dashi.

This is a vicious circle, but Zhou Kankan has fallen into it back then and can't extricate himself.

But Zhou Kankan has only been stuck in the quagmire for more than ten years, but Dashi has exhausted his life and has not been able to get out of that quagmire.

In that most special decade, Dashi took the extreme evil as his bottom line, he liked blood, liked to watch the traitors be cleaned out of this world like cleaning up garbage, on this old road, he launched countless large-scale martial arts, Dashi is like a Shura, only endless battles and confrontations are the whole of his life.

But Dashi didn't expect that the chaos in 77 ended his entire life, he was still alive, but the big-character posters on the streets and alleys were gone, and the blood spilled on the martial arts arena was gone, such a life seemed to have been completely ended for him.

From 77 to 80 years, he wrote countless letters to the Central Committee, hoping to restart the era of the Great Revolution, but such a madman can only be regarded as a madman in the era when civilization has returned. Not surprisingly, Dashi was sent to a psychiatric hospital, but he still kept writing letters, and even if none of the letters ended up in the sea.

But Dashi was unwilling, one day in March 80, he killed several nurses and doctors in the hospital, escaped over the wall at night, and returned to Zhiwan South Road with Zhou Kankan, who was being treated in the hospital with him.

That night, he did the craziest act of his life - exhuming the body.

Zhou Kankan said that during the Cultural Revolution, because there were always large-scale armed fights on Zhiwan South Road, there were too many casualties, and Dashi did not let the families of the deceased take the bodies away, but opened a cemetery in the west of the road and buried all the dead there.

On that night in March 80, Dashi took Zhou Kankan back to Zhiwan South Road, just to find these lives that were buried by his own hands, he believed that his fanaticism could give these corpses a new life, and he wanted to use these reborn comrades to launch the last battle on Zhiwan Road, and was determined to end his life in this final battle.

This is an idea that only a madman can have, Dashi is crazy, but Zhou Kankan is not crazy, in his opinion, Dashi is just a person who has no cultivation, he can't let the corpse be reborn, and the reason why he came with Dashi is just because he is worried about Dashi's safety.

Maybe it's because Da Shi has changed him, maybe it's because, in the long-term relationship, he and Da Shi have developed a brotherly affection, so he is afraid, afraid that Da Shi will do something stupid and bury his life, and at the same time, he still has a fluke in his heart, I just hope that Da Shi can become the same as a normal person, at least no longer so fanatical.

That night, Zhou Kankan followed Dashi to the cemetery on Zhiwan South Road, it had been three years since the end of the Cultural Revolution, and the secret cemetery had not been damaged in any way.

What Zhou Kankan didn't expect was that when Dashi dug up the soil with his bare hands and pulled out the corpses, those corpses did not decay at all, and they still maintained the appearance of death.

Da Shi's excitement made Zhou Kankan feel unprecedented fear, and he tried to stop Da Shi, but there was a nameless force suppressing him, making him unable to act.

Zhou Kankan said that at that time, he seemed to have turned into a real dried corpse, and he couldn't even roll his eyes, so he could only watch Da Shi pull the corpses out of the ground.

When Daishi dug up the last body, a thunderbolt slashed down from the clear sky and landed in the center of the cemetery.

The aftermath of the thunder and lightning made Zhou Kankan's brain explode like pain, and he couldn't see what Dashi did in the end, so his eyes turned black and he passed out on the spot.

When he woke up, Dashi and those corpses were all gone, and there was only a wandering monk named Chengyun left by his side, he was attracted here by the thunder, Zhou Kankan once asked him, did he see a disabled person who was missing his left arm, and Monk Chengyun only told him that that person would appear soon.

It was also this Chengyun monk who sent Zhou Kankan back to Luofu Mountain.

At that time, Zhou Kankan was seriously injured and could not walk on the ground for several months, and after the injury was healed, he returned to Zhiwan South Road again, but the cemetery was gone, and Zhiwan South Road was also demolished, leaving only a piece of rubble that had not had time to be cleared.

Zhou Kankan tossed around on the ruins, and it took three full days to find out the whereabouts of Dashi, and as Monk Chengyun said, Dashi did appear in front of Zhou Kankan's eyes again, but in the morgue of the hospital.

When Zhou Kankan saw him for the last time, he had become a blistered corpse, his whole face was extremely swollen, and the only thing that could prove his identity was the broken left arm.
