Chapter 15 of the Chinese New Year's Short Story: Reincarnation
Inside the silver tomb, there is still a death-like silence and emptiness, and the eight solemn and majestic dragon pillars surrounding the tomb exude a kind of timidly majesty and oppression. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
I stood at the entrance of the tomb, looking at the silvery light in front of me, and I still couldn't figure out what the white-haired corpses that had entered this tomb were doing here. They either disappear from the chamber or turn back into the tunnel, looking for new prey.
One of the reasons why I chose to stay in this tomb is because I really want to know what happened to these white-haired corpses after they walked into this tomb......
I looked back at the empty rune path behind me, and subconsciously touched the dark black key that I had just snatched in my arms. I made a decision to try this key before there were any white-haired corpses coming.
Quickly running up the arched staircase to the second floor, I once again stood in front of the silver gate, and looked cautiously down again to make sure that there was nothing unusual, and then took the key from my bosom......
Shiver! Damn?! What's going on! My hand? My hand holding the key was shaking inexplicably! This sudden tremor made me stunned for a while.
To be honest, although my heart at this time is not unstable, at least I no longer have any fear. Waiting for the rabbit is already my next plan, I don't worry too much about the authenticity of the key in my hand, after all, I am likely to try dozens or even hundreds of times in this silver tomb.
It is precisely because of my calm state of mind at this time that my hand that holds the key and trembles makes it even more weird. It's like a person who doesn't have any fear in his heart at all, but suddenly finds that his arm, without any psychological stimulation, is like a patient with Parkinson's who will shake uncontrollably.
No way!? Do I really have Parkinson's? How can it be! Damn it! I shook my head vigorously, shaking off the messy thoughts. After settling down, he put his heart sideways, gritted his teeth and inserted the key into the lock again.
The next second when the two were perfectly combined, a crisp "click" sound came into my ears, and the lock ...... It turned out to be open......
Alas? Is it really open? I couldn't believe my eyes, but after checking it again, I finally confirmed the reality that the lock had been opened. It's ironic to say, the last time I stood here, I had the same feeling, wasn't it because of that key that I couldn't open the lock in front of me?
Quickly removed the lock, could not hide the excitement in his heart, and pushed to the silver gate with all his might, it seems that this time, I can finally see the ultimate of this illusion!
The silver gate slowly opened, but my heart suddenly swept over with extreme unease. Before I could realize the source of the uneasiness, a blinding light shot out of the door, piercing my eyes.
No way! Why is this so glaring?! I hurriedly covered my eyes with my hands and looked tentatively through the gap between my fingertips.
Inside the silver gate, it was like a small scorching sun, so that my direct gaze not only could not see clearly, but I was dizzy, and I had to close my eyes to avoid the edge for the time being.
"There is only the scorching sun and people's hearts in the world, and you can't look directly at ...... with your eyes" I don't know why, when I was pierced by the dazzling light emitted by the scorching sun, I couldn't help but think of the words that that person once said......
I stood there, my eyes closed, not daring to move, not knowing what to do next. But right now! A huge suction force suddenly came from inside the door, and my body began to be sucked forward uncontrollably.
Holy shit, what the fuck is going on! I was so frightened that I hurriedly opened my eyes to look, only to see that it was so bright that I had to close my eyes again. I instinctively exerted all my strength, trying to resist the sudden huge suction.
it! How so! It was only at this moment that I was shocked to find that my body could no longer move, and my whole body had no strength left, so I had to let the huge suction force suck me into the silver gate......
After I was sucked into the door, the silver door seemed to close automatically, and although I couldn't see it, I heard a loud "clang" in my ears. Then, my brain began to go blank and my consciousness began to blur.
The Ultimate ...... of Illusion Is it over...... It's over...... It should be over...... Come to an end......
I lost consciousness completely in the blinding light and fell into a deep sleep...... Heavy ...... Sleep......
As consciousness slowly returned, the first thing I felt was the cold sensation of something on one cheek. I opened my eyes suddenly, but there was only a blinding light as far as I could see. The light was eerie and inexplicable, like staring at a huge sun up close, and it made me dizzy.
I hurriedly closed my eyes again, turned over, and groped around with my hands, there seemed to be two very low walls on either side of my body, and I didn't have time to think about it, so I grabbed the upper end of the wall with both hands and sat up with my body propped up.
As soon as I sat up, and before I could open my eyes again, a sharp pain suddenly came from the back of my head. This sudden feeling was extremely strong, as if someone was using a stick to insert it into the brain, which not only hurt but also made my brain a mess.
I sat with my eyes closed, my hands on the back of my head, rubbing and rubbing, and my brain had no time to think about anything other than to try to alleviate the pain. I don't know how long it took until the pain subsided, and my consciousness returned to normal again......
it! Dr. Koh didn't remind me that it hurt so much! I cursed, I took a deep breath, and then I opened my eyes again. This time, what I saw was no longer the dazzling light, but the vision became clear and abnormal, and I could see everything in the vicinity very clearly.
I looked around briefly, barely a circle, and was sure that I was in an old burial chamber. He sighed self-deprecatingly, shook his head, and inevitably smiled bitterly in his heart, Dr. Xu's words were really right, and he was really looking for weaknesses. I'm sure if someone asks me, what's the last place you want to go? I will definitely answer without hesitation, the tomb............
When I was a child, I remember hearing such a fable: Once upon a time, there was a kingdom of birds at the end of the continent, called the Land of Birds. There is a phoenix altar in the country of birds, and inside the altar, a huge phoenix statue is enshrined.
There has always been a miraculous legend in the country of birds, as long as the people of the country of birds worship the statue of the phoenix in the altar, the god of the phoenix will send down miracles and make its followers reborn.
This legend has been passed down for a long time, but I have never heard of a bird that was truly miraculously reborn by the god of the phoenix. But the strange thing is that there is still an endless stream of birds worshipping in the altar every day, and there has always been a bird in the country of birds, and there has been a little doubt about this legend.
One day, a bird, because he did not listen to the persuasion of his friend, had an accident in the middle of the night when the wind and rain were blowing, and finally got injured and broke his wings. The bird was never able to fly freely in the sky again. It felt remorseful in its heart, regretting why it had not heeded its friend's dissuasion in the first place, which led to the consequences of its current misfortune.
The bird was in great pain, and every day he got up early and returned late, and in the phoenix altar, he bowed to the statue and prayed sincerely, hoping that the god of the phoenix could send down a miracle and let it be reborn.
Ninety-nine days later, when the bird knelt down before the statue of the phoenix, a majestic voice appeared in its head: "My people, I am moved by your piety, and I will perform miracles to make you reborn......
The bird wept bitterly and bowed in thanks, and the majestic voice still echoed in his mind: "My people, then...... Say the day you want to go back to, and I will make you reborn in Nirvana on that day and start all over again......"
The bird said without hesitation the day when it did not listen to the dissuasion of its friends, and this time, it will definitely listen to the dissuasion of its friends and will not go out on a stormy night.
The majestic voice came into the bird's mind again: "My people, it is good, I will send a miracle to make you nirvana on that day, but as the price of rebirth, you will lose all memories from that day on, and after......"
The end of this story is very unexpected, the bird finally rejects the nirvana rebirth of the phoenix god, and returns to his home alone, silently accepting the reality that he has no wings.
When its friend learned about it, he was very surprised and asked the bird, "Why did you refuse when you had a new choice?" ”
The bird just said bitterly: "What I want is to change my destiny, not to relive my current destiny again......"
If...... You have a chance to escape into samsara and go back in time to make a new choice, but only if you lose all the memories of the present after the choice, then...... Will you follow the same path? ……
I really don't know how many reincarnations I've experienced in this horrible nightmare, and how many reincarnations I'll have to go through.
Every time, when I opened the lock and was sucked into the silver door, all memories of it were completely erased from my brain. And all of this began again, and I continued to follow the same path according to my own judgment, falling into an endless cycle of reincarnation that I had never discovered......
