I suddenly woke up in my sleep, I sat up from the ground, touched my body, and pinched my face, the flesh was very textured. Ahem, no, I should be dead......
I stood up and looked around. When I opened my eyes, I saw this gray world, but when I looked up, there was a sun in the sky, but I couldn't feel the temperature of the sun at all, there was an endless river in front of me, the environment was good, and there were a lot of bewitching flowers growing by the river, but I always felt lifeless.
I took a few steps and shouted, "Is there a living person here?" If so, a reply! Where is this? ”
Damn, only my echo echoed around, I came to the river, found a boulder, sat down with a butt, touched my pocket, and was pleasantly surprised to find that there was a pack of soft China, I was as excited as I found a new continent with trembling hands and slowly unpacked the package, I was very aggrieved to die, and I had long wanted to smoke a cigarette to relieve my boredom.
I pulled out a cigarette, and suddenly I thought of something, and hurriedly rummaged through all my pockets, "Damn! I didn't bring a lighter, what the hell are you playing with me! "I looked at the cigarette in my hand and felt like I wanted to die, eh, no...... I seem to be dead a long time ago......
Suddenly, a lit match was handed over to him, "Mom, hell! "I was so frightened that I almost rolled off the rock, and a hand grabbed my arm." Be careful, young man......" said an old voice......
I looked up and saw an old man wearing a hat, "You are paralyzed, why didn't you reply to me when I was calling just now, and now you suddenly appear, you want to scare the baby to death!" ”
"Hey...... I'm sorry young man, my ears are not very good, I just saw that you are not in need, so I came over to see if there is anything I can do to help you. The old man smiled heartily.
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm sorry, old man, I was reckless just now, it's my fault to be disrespectful to you." I apologetically took the match handed by the old man, carefully lit the cigarette, and was about to put it to my mouth, when the back of the head was suddenly smacked, "No smoking here!" The old man said faintly in the back.
"Damn, your sister!" I turned my head and stared at the old man angrily, the old man didn't speak, just pointed to the red armband on his arm "Civilization Inspection Post", I cursed again, and obediently handed over the cigarette......
I saw that the old man took the cigarette and stuffed it into his mouth and took a puff, I was full of black lines, and yelled, grass! I was going to snatch the cigarette with my hands, but the shameless old man actually put the cigarette behind him, and he seemed to have the ability to beat me, which made me very uncomfortable.
"Eh, I said young man, why are you so angry! Don't you still have that bag of China in your hand? The old man glanced at the Chinese in my hand, I quickly stuffed the bag of Chinese into my pocket, reluctantly took out a cigarette and borrowed fire from the old man, and began to swallow the clouds and spit out the fog depressed......
"I said old man, your tone and actions make me sound like an old man of mine......" I glanced at the old man next to me, who was cross-legged and spitting smoke leisurely.
"Ahem...... It's not your enemy, then don't be angry with the old man, my sick body can't help but toss......" The old man joked with a smile.
"How can it be an enemy, he is my master, alas, it's just that I just confessed that day, and my master died the next day, and the death is unknown, I wanted to find out the truth about my master's death, but unfortunately I died too early." "Alas, old man, you say that I am born to be a doomful person, and that no one who comes near me will end well......"
"Haha, young man, look at the point, you are dead, the past of the past has long passed, life does not bring death and does not take it, why should you keep it in mind, and there is no certainty in the world, people's life and death are all classified as the destiny of heaven, can you be a little mortal can change it?" The old man laughed.
"But I'm not reconciled!" I hugged my head and said.
"Young man, do you know where this is?" The old man asked.
"How do I know, I've always wanted to ask this question, but I forgot about it when you made a fuss!" I suddenly remembered what I had planned.
"Haha, then I'll tell you now, this is the Lechuan River, when you cross this river, walk on the Nai He Bridge, and drink Meng Po soup, the memories of the past will disappear, I'm the ferryman on the Huangquan Road, you call me He Laoweng. I've sent waves of ghosts here, and I've heard their stories, some beautiful and some broken, some of them crossed the river and went up to the Nai Ho Bridge, and the rest of the ghosts stayed here, do you know why? The old man said slowly.
"Why?"
"They can't let go of the obsession in their hearts, they have worries in their hearts, and they are also very affectionate people, so they don't want to drink the Meng Po soup, and I can't bear it, so I left them here."
"And what about the ghosts? Why didn't you see it? ”
"Around you, do you see those strange flowers? They are called the Sideflowers. Those ghosts do not want to walk on the bridge of Naihe, and can no longer enter the yang world, they can only wander here, suffering from lovesickness, and how can they endure the pain of skin after day, but they do not want to forget to live, so they commit suicide here, nourishing this flower on the other side. ”
"Are you kidding me, can a ghost kill himself?"
"Who said ghosts can't kill themselves! When the ghost has not left this place, he still has seven emotions and six desires, and you are the same? They came to the shore and bent down to pray for the other side flower to absorb their soul power, and when the other side flower absorbed their soul power, they also scattered and disappeared from the six paths...... "After the old man finished speaking, I couldn't help but retract my feet and stay away from those weird flowers.
"Haha, don't be afraid, those flowers won't absorb your soul power without your consent, otherwise the soul power they absorb will have resentment in them, and those resentments will cause them to wither and die......"
I breathed a sigh of relief......
"What I want to say to you is that a person's life and death are natural and ordinary, the living will have thoughts in their hearts, and the dead will also, and the living people need to let go of that obsession and continue to live their lives with that thought, so that they can live up to the expectations of their dead relatives, and the departed people should also let go of that obsession and finish the last part of their lives, so as not to live up to the good wishes of the living people, rather than disappearing ...... end."
"Old man, you're pretty good at making chicken soup for the soul!"
"Hehe, it's rare to see such an interesting young person! You're not simple, I can't be mistaken, and you don't belong here......" The old man stroked his beard and said with a smile......
"Am I really dead?"
"I don't know, if your heart is dead, if you become dead, if you can still feel your heart beating, then you are still alive......"
I touched my chest and replied, "I don't feel it." ”
"Hey, hey." The old man took out his fan and smiled without saying a word......
