11. Confusion
The gentleman's eyes suddenly became fierce, and he said, "Your return indicates that death has come here, and it will soon spread, that is, the great black sky is about to become a graveyard of death." ”
I knew what the gentleman was going to say, and I said, "So this will be the next twilight land, and the great black sky will perish." ”
The gentleman shook his head and said, "The Land of Dusk does not really exist. It only exists in dreams, but if you say it's real, you're right, because no one knows what life is until now. ”
I looked at him and asked, "What exactly do you want to say?" ”
The gentleman said, "Have you seen the Classic of Mountains and Seas?" ”
I said, "I just know that the landform recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas is the situation of the Great Black Sky, is this matter related to this book?" ”
Mr. said: "It is indeed related, there is a place recorded in the Book of Mountains and Seas, I don't know if you have an impression, there is a big tree that reaches to the sky, called the Enlightened Tree." ”
I said, "It seems that there is such a tree." ”
The gentleman asked me, "Don't you think it's strange that this tree is very similar to the feng shui wood you know?" ”
I pondered for a moment, understood the gentleman's intentions, and asked, "Do you want to go to this tree?" ”
The gentleman nodded and said, "So that's why I'm waiting for you here, because to find this tree, there needs to be a premise." That's why I couldn't find it. ”
I asked, "What premise?" ”
"This man must be a dead man, and you are exactly that," he said. ”
I was stunned: "Dead people? ”
The gentleman looked at me with a very serious look in his eyes, and he said, "You can touch your chest." ”
I touched my chest and was shocked, because I didn't have any heartbeat, and I didn't expect it to be like this, so I asked my husband, "What's going on?" ”
"It's the first time I've seen anything like this, and it's never happened in the dark," he said. ”
I proved it again and again, incredibly, that I did not have any heartbeat, and the gentleman continued, "So your return is a sign of death, and the second is for the sake of this enlightened tree." ”
I pondered, and didn't say anything, but I asked a question that had nothing to do with the Enlightened Tree, and I asked, "When I woke up, I met an old man, and he told me that this is the first layer of the Great Black Heaven, what is the matter?" ”
The gentleman looked at me suspiciously, and he said, "The first floor? How did I never know this, this is the Great Black Sky, and there is only one Big Black Sky. ”
I was a little surprised. Then I thought of something, and then suddenly I understood why I wanted to go to the Enlightened Tree, but after all, it was just a guess, and I didn't say it. Instead, he replied, "I see." ”
The gentleman asked me, "What did he tell you?" ”
I repeated the old man's words to the gentleman, and after thinking for a while he didn't have any reason, he said, "Probably just some nonsense." ”
I replied, "It should be." ”
Then I asked my husband, "Do you have a clear route on how to get there?" ”
"You shouldn't be wrong in the general direction," said the gentleman, "but this enlightened tree is only visible to you." I'm guessing it's probably hiding behind a feng shui wall, and only you can walk through it. ”
Feng Shui Wall!
It was exactly the same as in the dream, and I replied, "I see." ”
The gentleman said to me, "So you stay here for the time being, we need a few days to prepare the things for the road, in case something unexpected happens." ”
I don't know if I have some memory confusion, the history and humanity of this place are exactly the same as the yang land in my dream, and all the landforms are consistent, including history. It's just that there is confusion between the people here and the people in the dream, and I am a little unclear for a while, and I feel that the difference is a little big.
In the end, I asked my husband about the coffin in the coffin shop, because every time I saw this coffin, I always felt a little inexplicably frightened, and I would always merge with the situation in the dream, and felt that it was not an ordinary coffin.
Who knew that the gentleman's answer was surprisingly consistent with the dream, he said, "This is someone else put here." ”
I asked who this person was. Mr. was reluctant to say it at first, but only later did he say, "Xue Yunhai." ”
Xue Yunhai?
Xue's uncle, does this mean that Xue is also there, and there is also a gossip town here, right, the scenes in the dream are all projections here.
I asked again what was in the coffin, and my husband told me that it was an empty coffin with nothing, and asked me if I wanted to see it. I hurriedly refused, and the gentleman was surprised that I was afraid of this thing, and it was a little strange, and I replied that it might be because I had died once, but when I said this, I felt shocked, as if it were not the truth, and as if there was something else in it.
After that I stayed in the coffin shop and slept before it was dark. I don't know why I'm so sleepy, I haven't rested for a long time, but after I fell asleep, I dreamed of Xue, Xue inexplicably appeared in my dream, I dreamed that he said to me: "Xiao Mu, do you remember?" ”
I asked him, "What do you remember?" ”
Xue said: "Remember what I said to you, you have to remember." ”
I asked him, "What did you say to me?" ”
However, Xue stopped talking, and I felt that he was slowly starting to move me farther and farther away. I tried to chase him, but he was getting farther and farther away, and I woke up from such a dream, and when I woke up, his words seemed to have been spoken in my ears, and I was terrified.
I couldn't sleep because of this question, so I just sat up, and I looked at the time again, and it seemed that it was still early. I got up, who knew that when I got up, I saw the lights on in the yard, but there was no one, I thought they were all in the coffin shop, who knew that when I came to the coffin shop, the lights were only on, but there was no one.
And when I came to the coffin shop, I suddenly saw a black paper figure inexplicably on the side of this black coffin, and when I saw this black paper man, I only felt that my soul was about to be frightened. Instinctively moving away from it, and when I saw the black paper figure, I suddenly looked into the coffin, and I had the idea of opening the coffin to see.
So then I opened the coffin, but when I slowly opened the lid of the coffin, and saw the people inside, I was so shocked that I couldn't speak, because the husband didn't tell me the truth, the coffin was not empty, there was a corpse in it, but this corpse was none other than myself.
When I looked at my own corpse, I couldn't describe what it was, but after I looked at it for two or three seconds, I suddenly felt that it didn't seem to be me, because I felt that there was some kind of strange feeling between us, that he was him, that I was me, that they were two very different people.
I looked at the corpse in the coffin for a long time, and I didn't close the coffin until I finally closed it, but I was startled when I saw this black paper figure suddenly appear next to me for some reason, as if I had come by myself.
I stared at the black paper figure and had an idea, so I pulled it over, then took a lighter and went under the shop, and then lit it and burned it.
As the flames lit up, I saw its face and body turn into black paper ashes in the flames, and I watched it burn to ashes without any unusual changes, as if it had burned a very ordinary paper figure.
And my mind is not on this paper figure, and in this coffin, I have been thinking about a question in my heart, if I am in the coffin, then who am I? If I were me, who would be the body in the coffin?
And now I have another question, that is, where did Mr. and Mr. Bai go, and at this time, this shop and the whole street give me the feeling that there is no one here but me.
