Chapter 67: Reborn
The more he said that, the more curious I became. If I don't let me see it, I have to see it. When I got closer, I realized that something was wrong. Between Li Damin and me, there was a thick pile of black stones. This pile of stones sealed the way to the hole, and a hole the size of a TV was opened on the stone more than a person above the ground, and from the entrance of the hole, I could only see Li Damin's head.
I lay down at the entrance of the cave and looked in, it was dark and not in the middle of winter, and I couldn't see anything without lighting the lighter.
In the dark, there was only my breathing, but Li Damin was extremely quiet, and he couldn't hear the sound of breathing. If I hadn't seen him just now, I even wondered if there was no one in there.
I retracted my head, polished the lighter, and went into the hole to shine a photo, and the inside suddenly lit up.
Inside seemed to be a secret room, and there was not much space in the faint light of the fire, and it was pitch black all around. Li Damin sat in the dark, not far from me, but separated by layers of stones, like two worlds.
He meditated cross-legged on the ground, in a strange posture, his whole body was limp, as if he had no bones, just leaning against the stone wall. It gave me the impression that his body was very much like the skin of a snake, piled up in a heap, like a piece of human skin. His head was normal, moving freely around his neck, and his eyes were blazing, staring straight at me.
Looking into his eyes, somehow, I suddenly remembered the experience when Master Xie led his soul to my body, and the eyes of the possessed "me" at that time were exactly the same as Li Damin's now. His face looked ghostly under the flickering of the lighter, and I felt an inexplicable fear when I looked at him.
"You ......" I couldn't say anything, a thousand words blocked my throat.
Li Damin bared his teeth and giggled in the dark: "This is Cheng Xian, you don't understand." ”
I didn't know what to say, so I muttered, "Damin, you have to think about your family somewhat." ”
Li Damin didn't say anything, but opened his mouth to sing a melodious and vicissitudes of life: "Everyone in the world knows that the gods are good, only the wife can't forget it!" Jun's birthday said kindness, and Jun died and went with others. Everyone in the world knows that the gods are good, only the children and grandchildren can't forget! There are many infatuated parents in ancient times, who has seen filial piety to their children and grandchildren? ”
This is a good song written by Cao Xueqin in "Dream of Red Mansions". This is the second time I've heard it today. The first time was sung by Master Xie, and the second time was sung by Li Damin. I can't help but sigh that the world is impermanent.
Li Damin sings this song, which is nothing more than a statement of his will, what a beautiful wife and concubine, what children and grandchildren, in front of Cheng Xian, it is not worth mentioning. Family, friendship, love, and love are all small things in the world, which is equivalent to playing in kindergarten, and the final result is nothing more than the ashes of the world. Becoming an immortal is eternal, and it is the avenue of the unity of heaven and man. I will exist as long as the "sky" exists. Not to mention how many magical powers this "immortal" can have, this immortality alone is enough to make people envious. Not to mention ordinary grass people, how many emperors and kings throughout the ages have been doing their best to find a way to live forever.
And now, looking at the situation, Li Damin seems to have touched the threshold and touched the fairy fate. Everyone has their own ambitions, and since he wants to become an immortal, I really can't stop him.
I was thinking about it when Li Damin suddenly asked me: "Lao Liu, why do you say that a person wants to cultivate to become an immortal?" ”
I looked at his face, didn't know how to answer, pondered for a moment before saying, "For immortality? For the sake of wealth? For supernatural powers? ”
Li Damin shook his head: "Buddhism talks about liberation, Taoism talks about leisure, in fact, they are the same thing. Four words, let go, non-attachment. I practiced hard, not for any supernatural immortality, but for true transcendence. ”
I coughed, "So what are you going to detach?" Only when you are in a cage can you think of freedom, and only when you are in pain can you want to gain wisdom. ”
Li Damin's eyes lit up: "Okay, you old Liu, you really have Huigen." You put out the lighter, and I'll tell you again, the light is making me uncomfortable. ”
I had to turn off the lighter and we fell into the dark.
Li Damin said: "I'll tell you a story." Once upon a time, there was a girl who fell in love with a boy. But this boy doesn't like this girl. However, there is a girl who takes the initiative to give her a hug, and it is still a very beautiful kind, and for men, there seems to be no reason to refuse. The boy only has sex and no love for this girl, while the girl loves him with all her heart, cooks soup for him and cleans up the house, and does her best to help him. After a long time, the boy had enough of playing and said goodbye. The girl was left alone to wait for him silently, and waited for many years. When the boy was tired of playing outside and was deceived, and suddenly remembered that this girl was so bad, he turned back and found that ......"
I frowned when I listened: "What did you find?" ”
"It was found that the girl was dead. Died in a car accident and was unexpected. According to the driver's description at the time, the girl walked onto the road in a chaotic manner, didn't know what to think, didn't look at the car, and was hit and killed. When she died, she was still holding the button on a boy's clothes. The boy attended the girl's funeral, and looking at the cold corpse, he made a wish in the deepest part of his heart. ”
I listened nervously, this story is very vulgar to be honest, but I don't know why I have a cold sweat on my head and a cold back on my back.
"What wish?" I asked softly.
Li Damin said: "If one day, I deserve to be burned!" ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw a dark blue flame suddenly roll up in the darkness. The fire came so quickly that in an instant my eyes were white, and I subconsciously took a few steps back, and fell to the ground with a pop, my heart pounding wildly. Through the small window on the stone, I saw that the fire was boiling inside, and the fire was soaring to the sky, I was almost stupid, Li Damin should not be burned to death.
I quickly got up and looked closer, and the strange thing was that such a big fire did not have a heat wave, but was very cool. I saw Li Damin sitting in the middle of the fire, smiling loudly: "Ha Luha, it's good to burn." ”
This fire is very strange, it didn't burn anywhere, it burned Li Damin himself. It was like he was sitting in a fire and setting himself on fire. The firelight reflected his pale face. He looked at me with a grim and sickly gaze.
"Lao Liu, do you think this man deserves to be burned?"
Only then did I realize that the hero of the story just now was Li Damin, this kid lived a guilty life, and wanted to forget all the things in the past through practice, and felt that the fire could atone for his crimes.
I didn't know what to say, seeing that the flames had rolled up to his face, I was really afraid that he would be burned to death, so I had to bite the bullet and say: "This, people can't be resurrected after death, and God will forgive young people for making mistakes." If that girl has a spirit in heaven, I must hope that you will be well......"
"But my heart hurts...... My heart hurts, who knows? My heart was like a drop of blood. I realized that I loved her, I loved her. Li Damin had a crying tone in his tone, and he didn't have the detached energy he had when he sang "Okay Song" just now.
I'm really speechless, Li Damin's reason for cultivating immortals is too sick and ridiculous, you don't need to set yourself on fire if you want to put it down. The problem that can be solved by going to a barbecue stand and drinking a case of beer is so weird and complicated.
It may also be that this incident has had too deep an impact on him, and it has even become a big burden that cannot be removed from his whole life. After all, I'm a dick, and I can't understand such a high-level emotional lingering, so I can only make a delusional guess.
The flames gradually went out, and Li Damin was actually intact.
He looked at me: "Lao Liu, do you know how to say the words 'rebirth'?" ”
My mind was already completely confused, I shook my head, and said weakly, "I don't know what to do." ”
His eyes were misty, and his eyes slowly looked towards the top of the body: "Mortal cultivation of immortals must be reborn." In this painting, I learned a spell called bone extraction. ”
My voice was hoarse: "What do you mean?" ”
"Wash away the debts of the next life, and then fulfill my life's wish, take away the mortal bones and exchange them for the immortal body, and the three life stones will be broken forever as immortals." He muttered a series of words, only to see his body slowly sinking in the dark secret room, illuminated by sporadic flames.
I quickly polished the lighter to look, but it was okay not to look at it, but I was scared to pee. The ground where Li Damin was sitting seemed to be a swamp, and he was slowly sinking into it, not only that, but his body was still decomposing rapidly.
I don't know how to describe it, it's like a meat grinder with a blade under him. As he descended, his body was crushed by a meat grinder and turned into a pile of meat sauce. Li Damin should be able to clearly feel the sensation of shattering every inch of his body, the huge pain made his facial features distorted, looking at me desperately opening his mouth, but unable to speak.
I was chilled and dizzy, and I could barely help myself. You can imagine what it would be like to be in a dark hut with a living person stirred into meat sauce in front of you.
When it stirred his chest, Li Damin finally spoke, his mouth opened wide, and it had exceeded the scale of a normal person, like a snake. He struggled and said intermittently: "Old Liu...... Help me, Mom...... Save me. ”
At this time, it is estimated that only the Jade Emperor can save him. This scene is so weird and bloody, it's not that I don't want to run, but my legs are already weak, and I can't walk, so I can only collapse at the window and watch.
The ground grinder stirred into his neck and stopped moving. On the dark ground, there was only his head. Li Damin winked at me, his expression was extremely painful: "Lao Liu, my body is shattered for something, but my heart still hurts?" ”
Looking at his miserable scene, I was sad for a while, and I burst into tears. He is not called becoming an immortal, it is called self-harm, which is essentially the same nature as burning his hands with cigarette butts when he is out of love. With such a heart, let alone letting go, it's not bad if you don't torture yourself to death.
At this time, an extremely frightening thing suddenly happened, the minced wreckage meat sauce on the ground, like countless red snakes, densely meandered and crawled, gradually gathering into a pile, intertwined with each other, and slowly piled up into the shape of a human being.
I held the lighter, and I didn't feel any pain in my hand until it burned, and it was a terrible sight. Another person's body appeared in the secret room, but there was no head, and Li Damin's head was still on the ground, his eyes were blinking, and he seemed to want to combine with this body.
This scene is so strange that it is completely beyond my psychological capacity, and I can't bear to look at it anymore, so I plan to extinguish the lighter, go back the way I came, and go out of the painting.
At this moment, the most terrifying scene appeared, Li Damin's head suddenly moved, like a snake, slowly crawling on the ground, as if there were countless tentacles under his neck. As it crawled, it looked at me, the corners of its mouth slightly raised, as if smiling. It's a suffocating scene, and I can't help but think of a scene in Spirited Away, where in the witch's room, there are three green heads bouncing around and babbling out of their mouths that they don't understand.
Li Damin's head followed the reassembled body and slowly climbed to the neck cavity, and the head and neck were like two gears, biting and docking, and clamping up.
Li Damin seemed to breathe a sigh of relief: "Lao Liu, I come here every day, my body is crushed and recombined, as if I have been reborn." You should also try. ”
I was speechless for a long time before I said, "Is it a new life?" How do I feel that you haven't changed? ”
Li Damin was suddenly shocked: "What do you mean?" ”
"No matter how many times your body is crumbled, you still can't let go of it in your heart. It's as if someone killed someone and buried the corpse in the ground, no matter how beautiful the field bloomed in the future, in his eyes, there was still only that corpse. ”
Li Damin was silent and did not speak.
I said, "Damin, letting go is not such a way to let go. You have this obstacle in your heart, no matter where you are or what form you exist, I'm afraid you can't let go of it or can't let it go. ”
Li Damin said: "Then you say, what should I do?" ”
