Chapter 35: The Woman in the Bowl
Liu Gen felt that he was falling faster and faster, his consciousness began to be a little blurred, it was a complete fall, there was no hope, there was no room for struggle, the body and consciousness began to gradually distance themselves in the long process of falling, Liu Gen walked down from his head, he could clearly see a small wormhole on the big tooth, smelled the blood in the heart, touched the big intestine called, and the image of the usually self-conscious was more and more ugly in the process of consciousness separation, "Liu Gen" If you block the spring point at the bottom of your feet, you will never be able to get out, and no matter how much you struggle, you still can't break through the shackles that shackle your body. Looking back at himself in disgust, the body that had accompanied him for decades let out an eerie sneer, Liu Gen couldn't figure out whether he was getting rid of "him" or "he" getting rid of him, why did Liu Gen suddenly feel that this was a conspiracy, and the monkey that pushed himself down was just to take revenge for his palm?
With a "snap", Liu Gen's body fell into the water, falling to the bottom without any stagnation, Liu Gen felt that the water had a strong pulling force, and his consciousness was pulled a little deformed, and then he felt that he was really pulled out of his body by this force......
Liu Gen looked around, and it was pitch black, as if he had no eyes.
Liu Gen tried to move his body to see if he was seriously injured. But he noticed a strange thing, when he moved his body, there was no sound, not even a little heaviness. What surprised Liu Gen even more was that although he couldn't see the surrounding scenery, he could feel the size of the surrounding space, and he was confined in a very small space, so small that he couldn't breathe, but what imprisoned "himself" was definitely not his own body.
"Breathe!"
Only then did Liu Gen realize that he didn't have to breathe at all. Also, if you fall from it and fall into the water, you will suffer a little bit of flesh and skin, but now you don't feel a trace of pain.
Liu Gen couldn't help but gasp, was he already dead? In fact, I didn't inhale any breath at all, all the actions were just my imagination, and I didn't do anything.
Suddenly, Liu Gen's consciousness shrank together, shrunk to a corner in fear, and the space he was in continued to expand with the operation of his thoughts, Liu Gen felt that something was moving in this space, and what his consciousness perceived was not something, he "saw" a woman, a beautiful woman in ancient costumes. Frightened, Liu Gen found that his consciousness actually had an image, the image of his own body.
Then, Liu Gen's eyes lit up, and behind the woman were white pavilions, white mountains and rivers, white bridges and flowing water, white sky and stars, and even white birds and flowers...... The woman is 18 years old, this Liu Gen can be determined by physiognomy, Tingting is curling in front of her eyes, her hair is slightly windy: the phoenix crown is matched with beads, the hair is lightly pulled, wearing a vermilion long skirt, wearing a mist white shirt, the skirt is full of flowers, the green lotus and green grass on the feet are fragrant, the skin is like fat, the thin waist can be held in the hand, the delicate eyes are like a smile, the eyebrows are lightly picked up and the crescent moon is raised, the pink cheeks are like a peach attracting butterflies, the red lips are slightly opened, it seems to stop talking, and sing without singing. A few strands of hair fluttered down the mouth, adding a charming style, which can be described as a little coquettish, a little smiling, and a little charming......
The woman's red lips opened slightly: "A dream for a thousand years, it seems to wake up and sleep, infatuation is separated by two degrees, childhood sweethearts are still around, autumn eyes look through, and I don't see you go to Huangquan for an appointment"
Liu Gen was a little dazed, where did he go? Could it be Yellow Springs? No, I have been engaged in the feng shui industry for decades, and there are no less than a thousand people who have given the dead, not to mention whether there is a netherworld, even if there is a real one, and the underworld recorded in the black book is not like this.
So where is this?
"Hello, what is this place?" Liu Gen asked softly.
The woman did not answer him directly, but swayed to a tree, the colorful white flowers on the tree fell one after another, the woman stretched out her hands to catch some in her hands, every inch on the pavilion, leaning on the railing and looking into the distance, opening her hands, white petals fluttering down, the woman's sleeves were lightly raised, the long skirt was slightly swinging, and four words appeared in Liu Gen's mind: Heavenly Maiden scattered flowers.
"I don't see you, I feel melancholy, I am alone in the quiet world, and I have been waiting for a thousand years......"
Liu Gen became more and more puzzled in his heart, the woman repeatedly mentioned the millennium, could she really have lived here for a thousand years? This is also counterintuitive. Although Liu Gen had heard many bizarre things told by his ancestors, he had not personally experienced them, and those were only in the category of legends. The lifespan of a human being can break a hundred years, or even exceed 2 hundred years, but a thousand years, that is absolutely impossible.
Just as Liu Gen was secretly thinking about it, the ground next to the pavilion moved slightly, and then began to rise upward, and then the pavilion began to break and collapse, and the woman fell down. Liu Gen rushed over without hesitation, reached out to catch the woman at the moment she fell, and immediately put it on the ground embarrassed. But at this moment, the woman actually flew out of thin air. When Liu Gen looked back, he opened his mouth wide in surprise, and a big mouth also appeared in front of him, but that big mouth was unbelievably big, with a diameter of half a meter, and the reason why it was sure to be an open mouth was because Liu Gen saw two rows of snow-white teeth.
Liu Gen saw an emerald green embroidered shoe in the throat of that mouth.
Relying on the intuition of a martial artist, Liu Gen smelled the smell of danger, leaned over on the spot, and quickly rolled under the chin of the big mouth. Between the lightning and the flash, Liu Gen's brain quickly made a judgment, if he escaped in the opposite direction, looking at the strength of the big mouth to suck the woman, it was estimated that he was also in a catastrophe, and only by hiding in a place where it couldn't suck it at the fastest speed could he temporarily avoid this catastrophe, and the closest distance was under its chin, so he rolled here without stopping.
However, Liu Gen still underestimated this big mouth, and just when he thought it was temporarily safe, when he looked up, he found that there was no big mouth on his head at all, but his eyes were full of white smoke, and Liu Gen's snort smelled the smell of flour.
When the dust settled, Liu Gen saw a big insect in the ruins more than 10 meters away looking at him. Liu Gen was shocked, it was an enlarged version of a corpse worm!
Liu Gen looked around, and suddenly understood where he was, this was the "soul locking worm bowl" that he had gained and lost in 1979. Liu Gen will not forget the appearance of that corpse insect, the unique pattern of flowers and the posture of holding his head high, absolutely cannot be wrong.
I actually got into a bowl the size of a rice bowl! Liu Gen's outlook on life that he had built up over decades completely collapsed. Although his family's "great cause" is ridiculous enough, there are reasonable theories after all. And now my situation is not only unreasonable, it is simply a fantasy.
Since it is the "Soul Locking Worm Bowl", that woman is undoubtedly the soul of the old man's lover in the cabin in the Mongolian Mountains, so what is herself? Is it also a soul! Liu Gen couldn't deny his own opinion, because how could a living person enter a bowl. When Liu Gen told Xiao Jiu about the "Soul Locking Insect Bowl", it was completely based on the records in the book, and when he got the bowl, he didn't really believe that this bowl could really lock the soul, but this bowl is a valuable antique but it is real. Liu Gen, the corpse insect in the bowl, did not throw it away, but also had a curious idea, so he continued to add flour and raised it for more than ten years. In 1987, the bowl was inexplicably missing, and Liu Gen was only stolen and sold by thieves. I didn't expect this thing to appear in a deep underground cave.
The big insect didn't attack, looked at Liu Gen for a while, gently pressed the big head to the ground, blinked softly a few times, and the fat body squirmed a few times and spread it around the head lazily and casually. Liu Gen saw a bit of well-behaved from the demeanor of the corpse insect.
Liu Gen hesitated a little, whether he took the initiative to attack the corpse insect to rescue the woman or find a way to escape from the bowl. Suddenly, I thought about it again, since it is a corpse insect Gu, isn't this corpse worm the shelter carrier of this woman's soul, the corpse worm is not eating the woman, but protecting her. The corpse worm softened, and must have recognized itself as the owner who had added flour to it.
Thinking of this, Liu Gen tentatively moved towards the corpse insect, but the corpse insect did not have any reaction to attack, but instead waged its tail, like a guard dog that saw its owner. Seeing such a scene, Liu Gen's heart finally relaxed, his spirit relaxed, a sense of fatigue arose, his consciousness began to become blurred, and Liu Gen slowly closed his eyes......
"Poignant, clear and cold, I don't see you, I don't see the morning sunset, I don't see the moonlight, I don't wake up from my dreams, the wet wipes on the pillow, and I remember the ...... of my liver and intestines."
A burst of chanting came into his ears, sad and sorrowful, and Liu Gen opened his eyes. There were pavilions and pavilions in front of him, small bridges and flowing water, but they were still white, but they were really beautiful, the flour around them had disappeared, Liu Gen suddenly realized something, opened his eyes and looked around, yes, except for the woman, all the other scenery is white.
The woman stood poignantly among the thousands of white petals, with a white guqin in her arms, and her thin fingers like green onions roamed between the strings, making a sad sound.
What Liu Gen realized was that all the scenery was made of white surface. But Liu Gen was also full of surprise, how did such a macro landscape be established? Obviously, I saw with my own eyes just now, all the buildings have collapsed, and I suddenly found it intact again, and the speed of this reconstruction is too fast, no, this is too impossible!
The impossible is just around the corner, and Liu Gen can't deny this fact.
Now, what Liu Gen wants to do most is to solve the mystery of this "soul locking worm bowl", and whether he can finally get out is directly related to whether he can solve this mystery.
"Hey, are you the soul locked here?" The most direct way to solve this mystery is to communicate with the woman.
"I don't see you, I miss you hard, and I tell you about my feelings" The woman didn't pay attention to Liu Gen, and still sang alone.
Liu Gen raised his voice: "I'm talking to you, why don't you ignore me?" ”
"The face is not old just to go to the king's appointment, you can see the full moon branches and chrysanthemums blooming, come and come, stand alone on the bridge, is a slave and a king" The woman sang and walked on the small white bridge.
Liu Gen saw that an exaggerated full moon was really hanging on the tree on the bank of the bridge, and when Liu Gen was surprised, his eyes widened and widened, and he saw a figure slowly walking up to the bridge from the other side of the bridge, and silently looked at the woman.
The huge moon illuminates the bridge with a silvery light, which is particularly dazzling. Liu Gen looked at the person on the other side of the bridge, 1.8 meters tall, wearing a white scarf, wearing a white gown, with a handsome face and an extraordinary temperament, but the paleness on his face was extremely incongruous.
With a hint of joy on her face and infatuation in her eyes, the woman slowly walked towards the man, and when the woman walked, the man remained in a standing position and did not cater to the woman's movements. The woman seemed a little urgent and quickened her pace, but the man's body shook a little, and the woman rushed over quickly, spread her arms, and eagerly hugged the man.
However, at the moment when the woman hugged the man, Liu Gen saw the white powder like an explosion splashing around, but there was no sound.
The woman was stunned for a moment, not surprised, but only full of sadness, Liu Gen saw two lines of tears flowing down the woman's cheeks. She should have maintained a hugging posture, but the arms were empty.
At the woman's feet, a pile of white flour was coldly piled into a small grave bag.
Immediately afterwards, pavilions, small bridges, flowing water, flowers and trees...... Silently collapsing, the stars in the sky began to burst silently like clusters of white fireworks. The huge bright moon began to crack out the turtle lines, and then silently scattered a white dazzling light, and the woman flew in this dazzling light, like a fairy of the nine heavens.
Liu Gen heard a roar, and the big corpse worm that disappeared stretched out its huge head from the white flour, opened its big mouth at the woman, and a powerful suction force instantly swept the woman into her mouth. Then, the big corpse insect gently lay on the ground, rolled up, and nodded meekly at Liu Gen, which was definitely not a harmful look, as if he had just cared for his young son.
Although it was an enlarged insect, Liu Gen did not feel disgusted by it, but had a feeling of being lost for a long time. Could it be that this insect is really protecting the woman? Liu Gen felt that his opinion must be correct, because Liu Gen remembered what his father had said about "mental creation", judging from the various performances of the woman just now, it completely belonged to the scene of "mental creation".
The woman uses her powerful longing for her lover to create an idyllic landscape with the flour in the bowl with her mental power, and this scenery must be related to the man, perhaps the place where they meet, she not only creates the environment, but also conjures up the image of the man. My father said that there are several levels of mental power creation, the highest level is to conjure up any substance out of thin air without the help of any substance, and the woman has to use flour to form, indicating that her skill is only rudimentary.
As for why it collapsed, it has a lot to do with this woman's mood swings, the "mental power creation" needs to have a steady stream of mental power blessings, once the mental power is dispersed, the created thing will be deformed, and even destroyed. When a woman sees her sweetheart, her already not very strong mental power suddenly diverts her attention, how can she maintain the "mental space"?
Thinking of this, Liu Gen not only had an incomparable admiration for the big corpse worm, because when the mental power collapses, the soul is extremely easy to break, and it can only be preserved with the help of the yang energy in the six realms. When Liu Gen once played with this bowl of big bowls, how did he know that there was an eternal sorrow in it.
If the bowl is like this, will there be a more colorful or thrilling world in the sand and stone around us?
Liu Gen fell into deep thought, feeling that all his efforts and ambitions had suddenly become insignificant. Why live? Money, love, career, aren't these also like a woman's mental space! No matter how beautiful it is, it will eventually fall apart, even if you have it countless times, but there is no eternity, then what about your "great cause"? What if it succeeds! It's just a flash in the pan in the long river of years, is there any meaning?
Liu Gen began to be confused again, and gradually closed his eyes in exhaustion in confusion.
Suddenly, a loud bang came from above, Liu Gen opened his eyes, looked up, and a bright light cracked in the dim sky, and this bright light tore open the world with the burning heat of incineration, and stabbed at Liu Gen......
