130. Burial ground
I didn't know if I had left the underworld, so I was a little anxious, so I pushed harder, and then I felt like there was some force outside helping me, and I pushed the coffin away with this force, and after the lid was pushed open, I saw a dim light pouring into the dark coffin, and I didn't have time to distinguish the surrounding scene. It's just that I'm still lying in the coffin and breathing heavily, this feeling of breathing again is really good, and then the memory of the yang soul and the memory of the life soul coincide together, I vaguely recall a scene, it was the scene of myself lying in the coffin and being carried to somewhere, but I didn't know it in the coffin at all.
And there was no sound coming from the whole process, until at last the whole world fell silent and I was back in darkness. Until I just woke up suddenly.
I slowly tried to stand up after I was breathing normally, but when I stood up, I found that I was indeed in a graveyard, but the graveyard had been dug up, and my coffin was in a deep pit that had been dug up, and I saw a soul flag a few steps away from the pit, dancing in the wind, exactly like what I had seen in the underworld.
When I saw this scene, I suddenly realized that before I woke up, someone dug up my father's grave. In other words, I was able to come back to life, not by accident, but by someone.
I came out of the coffin and climbed up the slope that had been dug up, and it was like a barren wilderness, but my graveyard was fenced off, and it was surrounded by some wooden stakes more than two meters high, which were inserted into the ground in an irregular and crooked way, and the new city was like a barrier, and I walked to the stakes and looked at them, but they were just ordinary stakes nailed to the ground, and there was nothing special about them.
I looked around, only to feel that the doubts in my heart were getting deeper and deeper, and a question kept lingering in my mind - what is this place?
I walked out along the gap between the stakes, which were a few meters thick, because soon I was outside. When I came outside, I saw another wasteland, but in the distance I saw a man sitting, so I squinted for a while, and then slowly walked towards him.
Probably heard my footsteps. He got up from the stone where he was sitting, and I looked at his figure as a little familiar, and when I got closer, I realized that it was my uncle. When he saw me, he looked at me and didn't speak, and I asked suspiciously, "Why are you here?" ”
Uncle said: "Today is your first seven, and it is also the time for you to return to your soul, so I am here waiting for you to come out." ”
Uncle's rhetoric was strange, and I was wary of his identity, but I still asked him, "You dug up the grave?" ”
He replied, "Yes." ”
I began to be puzzled and asked him, "Why, you obviously went all the way with the living ghost who pretended to be my grandmother, and you led me to the old mansion." ”
Uncle said: "The reason for this is very complicated, I can't understand it with you for a while, and you have more important things to do, now is not the time to pursue the truth." You see, it's almost dawn. ”
At this time, I noticed that it was early in the morning, the sky was gray, and it would not be long before the sun would rise as soon as it dawned. I asked my uncle, "What kind of place is this?" ”
Uncle said: "This is a burial place, a secret of the Xiao family, you should never have known that there was such a place before." ”
I shook my head and said, "I don't know." ”
As he spoke, he led me to another place surrounded by wooden stakes, and then went inside. Seeing that there was nothing in it but a piece of flat land, the uncle said: "There are only two people buried in this burial ground, and the buried people do not erect tombstones, only this circle of feng shui wood town." Hold the soul of the dead in the graveyard. ”
I asked, "Which two people?" ”
Uncle said, "Xiao Mu and you." ”
When I heard my uncle's words, I was both puzzled and shocked, so I asked, "Xiao Mu and me?" ”
Uncle said: "I'm surprised, isn't it, this is the biggest secret of the Xiao family, do you know that every three generations of the Xiao family, there will be a person named Xiao Mu, this person usually doesn't live to be eighteen years old, just like you." Born without one of the three souls, he lived to the age of eighteen by supplementing his life, and finally died because of his weak life, and he will be buried here after death. Use feng shui wood to calm the soul and body together. ”
I calculated, every three generations there is a Xiao Mu, so push up, the last Xiao Mu appeared when it should be the time of the grandfather's generation, I said: "Is the grandfather's generation ......?"
The uncle said, "Yes, your grandfather had an elder brother named Xiao Mu, and he died when he was eighteen years old. It was precisely because of his death that your grandfather completely changed, and your grandfather discovered some mysteries about Xiao Mu, so he began to continue to explore. Later, the coffin shop was opened. ”
But speaking of this, I had a new question, and I asked: "So since there is a Xiao Mu every three generations, why are there only two people buried in the Xiao family's burial ground, it stands to reason that there should be more." ”
When the uncle heard this, he said; "This is the question that makes everyone wonder, your grandfather also discovered this problem after discovering this secret, he can find the name of Xiao Mu in the family tree, but except for his brother who was buried in the burial ground, there was no trace of Xiao Mu being buried in the burial ground before. It felt like all traces had been erased and gone. ”
I exclaimed, "Erased? ”
Uncle said, "Yes, it has been erased, let's think so, because no one knows the reason." ”
I listened and asked, "But why did I die, I didn't die because I was weak, and how did I die?" ”
But the uncle said, "It's true that you don't have a weak life, but you have to die once." ”
I asked, "Why?" ”
Uncle said, "Because I have only died once." In order to understand death better, this is something you have to experience, and sooner or later, you will die. ”
When I heard my uncle say this, I fell silent, so I said, "So you and grandma did such a play?" ”
Uncle said, "I'm helping you, but your grandmother really wants you to die." She has been dormant in this house since your eldest grandmother, and she has only one mission, which is to kill the next Xiao Mu. ”
I asked, "Why?" ”
The uncle said, "I don't know. I don't know everything, these are the clues I got when I took Wu Xiaoquan's Yin Soul to the Yin Temple to find Wu Xiaoquan's Yang Soul and let their Yin and Yang souls become one, and at the same time, I want to know why I came back from the dead, whether I died or came back to life, and who I am. ”
I asked, "So have you found the answer?" ”
Uncle suddenly looked at me and smiled and said, "The answer doesn't matter anymore, because no matter how much you explore, you can't avoid the fate of death, right?" ”
I looked at Uncle. I just think that in fact, I have never understood the uncle, and his words have a sense of helplessness and sadness, and even more despair.
I didn't know how to answer him, so he went on to say to me, "Even if you come back from the dead." But what awaits you is still death, life is such a thing, once it is destined, it is difficult to change, we are like puppets being manipulated, the trajectory has long been limited, every move is within the will of others, so death is not so bad, right? ”
Uncle's words coincide with Master Bai's words, and they are all people who have come back from the dead, do they know anything, so they say such things, but what Master Bai said was very subtle, but Uncle Bai said it more bluntly.
I asked my uncle, "Do you know anything?" ”
Uncle said: "Where can I know anything, so the fight that I know is just what the puppet controller wants me to know, just like these words I am talking to you now, maybe it has been arranged a long time ago, because the person who controls it needs to let you know, so death is not accidental, or it is not accidental, right?" ”
Uncle's words made me fall into deep thought, and I asked, "Is there no way to please?" ”
Uncle said, "I don't know, because I can't get rid of it anymore." ”
