Gravedigger – Untitled Love
The secluded Huangquan Road, three steps and nine steps is a turn, different from the "hell" of the ghost country, and also different from the underworld, this road leads to the real and also the underworld where many creatures return to their roots.
The road to the underworld only goes without returning, the soul enters the spring, the gate of the underworld will be opened, how many souls enter the yellow spring, how many souls will be allowed to pass through the gate, if the soul repents, want to go upstream, return to the world, then the yellow spring against the current, straight to the underworld, the yellow spring water will turn into a dead soldier, escort the soul into the underworld.
From the beginning of the world to the present, there are many dead souls who have gone to the Yellow Spring, and finally become resentful souls in the underworld. Huangquan Road maintains the appearance of its birth, and does not recognize all the "feelings" of each "world".
The gravedigger stood on top of a small yellow wooden boat without oars, carrying a shovel and carrying the corpse of a bell, the yellow spring water was turbulent, the scene on both sides of the river was illusory and blurry, with the impression of seeing, there was a blurred change, this is like a painting, freehand and reality combined, the muddy yellow "paint", as if to flow out of the paper.
Prince Ah Dou and his servants obediently sat on the body of the gravedigger, they deceived the gravedigger who could accurately distinguish life and death, but they could not deceive the underworld, they could not deceive Huangquan, although their deception skills once had an incomparable high posture, but still could not play a role in the most primitive and fundamental "source state".
Prince Ah Dou reached out and could touch the skirt of the bell, he didn't know where the bell would be sent, and gradually became afraid, Huangquan did not have a strange smell, but Prince Adou felt uncomfortable, and his body separated into two trends, one was light and fluttering, as if forcibly pressed into the water The ball was buoyant, and the other half of the trend was heavy, pressing his feet down, although he did not move, but he felt that he had touched Huangquan.
Ah Dou had to deceive himself, and also performed deception on the slaves, not everyone can enter the Huangquan Road, to be precise, there is no living creature can enter intact, intact out, the gravedigger is an exception, of course, there is also a source of the story, which involves a touching and vigorous love story in ancient times, more poignant and moving than the past of the dream elf, and it is also because of various factors that the role of the gravedigger was born, why can they enter the Yellow Spring and exit perfectly, No one can find the reason, and only they can find the Huangquan Road as a living person. In addition, the creatures who strayed into the Yellow Spring, but entered the path of the dead soul when they had a life, will inevitably disturb their lives, resulting in a great change in their destiny, but they will not necessarily die on the Huangquan Road, perhaps after coming out, they were originally flying Huang Tengda and lived to the age of ninety-nine, but suddenly at the age of thirty, a disaster occurred and took his life. Maybe he was supposed to live to be thirty years old, and suddenly stretched to one hundred and thirty years old, but most of the time, the life span of the creatures who escaped from the Yellow Spring will be greatly reduced, and there are many illnesses and disasters, and the life is miserable.
Prince Ah Dou was originally a corpse puppet, but he deceived his consciousness beforehand, so that he thought that he had not met the people of the Hanging Tan tribe, so that after he became a puppet, he still retained his consciousness and body control, as long as he used deception to consolidate it on time, the lie could come true, and he could mature and grow old as a corpse puppet for the rest of his life, and even have children (this deception was mentioned in the Lilliputian chapter before, and there will be a detailed explanation later, if you don't understand, you can skip it, and briefly think, That's a magic skill like Zhuan Wangdong. )。
He deceived himself at the moment that it was not the Yellow Spring under his feet, did his divine consciousness forget that it was the Yellow Spring under his feet? No, he still knew that he was on the Yellow Spring, but his consciousness had a momentary reorganization, during the reorganization, his memory was whitened, and he forgot that he should not forget, when the reorganization was completed, the forgotten returned, and his consciousness did not change at all, but the body and things like destiny were successfully deceived. Therefore, he and the slave feel much more relaxed now, they can't deceive Huang Quan, and they can deceive themselves.
The gravedigger had already taken all of the bell's belongings and wanted to take her earrings, perhaps because he thought that his ear holes were missing flesh, and the edges of the earrings had just been repaired, so he left the earrings and completed her complete body. The gravedigger's shovel held the bell and stretched out the bow of the ship, fearing that the bell would fall into the yellow spring with a slight twist of his wrist.
And the bell that is very close to the Yellow Spring Water, the body has been separated from the soul (people who die in an incomplete state of the body, it is often difficult for the dead soul to leave the body after death, during this period, the dead soul will continue to bear the pain of the moment of death in the corpse, of course, it will eventually leave the body, the gravedigger is more like a role to help this kind of undead soul liberate, add an extra bridge between them and the Yellow Spring Road, in fact, they don't do anything, the dead soul can eventually enter the Yellow Spring, but before that, the living can't imagine what kind of pain this kind of dead soul will experience. )
And the bell is this kind of poor soul, she has endured the pain of being pierced through the heart countless times in the corpse, fortunately, at the moment of death, she was embraced by Mu Ziyun in her arms, and the resentment contained was really not much, so she was not accepted by the underworld, otherwise she would be like Du Xiaoyue, she became a resentful soul early and broke away from the body, judging from the character before the bell, she really shouldn't be a ghost, but who knows, she, a little woman, originally had no resentment? After all, no one knows her story. Actually, thanks to the fact that when she was dying, it was Mu Ziyun who held her.
Prince Ah Dou saw the soul of the dead gradually breaking free from the corpse, and when the spring water hit the corpse of the bell, Huangquan Lu sensed the existence of the dead soul, and opened a gap in the underworld that only allowed one dead soul, and one dead soul must pass through. At this point, all you need to do is throw the body of the bell into the Yellow Spring, and it's all over.
The bell broke away from the ordinary soul, Prince Adou saw the bell struggling with pain, in fact, the bell of the soul was grateful, crying, she was finally redeemed, trapped in the corpse, she was repeating death every moment, she wanted to be free as soon as possible. But when Prince Ah Dou saw it, he didn't know the reason, he suddenly stood up, distressed, Sister Bell seemed to have been tortured greatly, this weirdo? What the hell is this gravedigger doing? Is it destroying the soul of Sister Bell?
The more Prince Ah Dou looked at it, the more heartache he felt, and anyone who saw it would pity this beautiful girl. Finally, he resorted to deception.
Before the moment of the bell's death, Ah Dou used an emergency deception technique on the bell, deceiving her that she was not penetrated through the heart, although it was done in a hurry and was not comprehensive, but barely the life trajectory of the bell at that time did not disappear, and then the demon tiger forcibly cut off the energy of Prince Ah Dou, so that Prince Ah Dou could not quickly complete the follow-up deception, resulting in the lie gradually being exposed by time, and it became more and more pale and weak, but so far, the lie is still there. Prince Adong didn't know what to do, he just wanted the gravediggers to stop torturing Sister Bell.
Therefore, he used deception on everyone at the same time, the bell is dead and unconscious, but Prince Adou still has a way, he first deceived himself and his servants to think that they are the same stone.
Deceiving the gravedigger again, it's interesting here, what he deceives is that there is a temporary difference in the gravedigger's cognition, such as pointing to the deer as a horse, making the gravedigger recognize Prince Ah Dou and the slave as human beings and living beings, but, with many mental hints and lies, he keeps entering a message to the gravedigger, that is, this is not a person, this is a stone, this is a stone. Even if it is false and unreasonable, it can also cause a comforting suggestion effect in a fairly short period of time, and people who look at the deer will have a moment of doubt, why do so many people say that this is a horse, this is really a horse? It was this momentary doubt that could be infinitely magnified by the caster, causing a void in his mind and re-installing a new concept on him, although he would soon come to his senses, oh, I think oh, they were all, this was the deer, but before that, what the caster wanted him to do, he had already done.
When the gravedigger finally saw Prince Adou and the servant, he frowned, and suddenly saw that the two stones had fallen on the body of the bell. No, that's two people, huh? I don't think it's right, I feel like the whole world is saying, it's two stones, oh, the gravedigger thought to himself, it could really be two stones, the stones can't be alive, so...
The gravedigger had never been so shocked, unbelievable, he made an unforgivable mistake, he actually brought a person whose life has not ended, to the Yellow Spring, which ..... This.....
He was not afraid, the first thing he felt was that he was almost about to dig out the guilt of his eyes, he hurriedly pulled the bell back to the boat, lowered his body, and looked at the body of the bell, there were two stones on the body, the stone could not be alive, then, it was the bell that was alive, under the psychological suggestion, the gravedigger whose thoughts were in turmoil, felt that the bell's lips seemed to open and close, but in fact, he was just a random person, as long as he was not a fool, and saw the black hole in the bell's chest, You'll know it's a real corpse.
The gravedigger wept, he had never shed a tear, and this time, not for himself, but for the bell, he blamed himself and was annoyed.
Prince Adou didn't know that the gravedigger would react so much, he just wanted the gravedigger to stop and not torture Sister Bell.
The gravedigger screamed in a hoarse voice, for he was mute. His dirty hands, touching the tears in the corners of his eyes, he squatted in the stern of the boat, beating his chest, he felt guilty, he blamed himself, he never felt pity for himself, but he wept for this poor girl who was hurt by himself.
Yellow spring water, tumbling and surging, the underworld has cracked, and in an incalculable time, a dead soul, a thin crack, has never been opened, but it is only the reason of the dead soul, and it cannot happen (in fact, the touching love story that made the gravedigger born in ancient times did not break this so-called "rule")
The dumb gravedigger at such a juncture... He didn't hesitate at all, only to see how many waves he jumped into the Yellow Spring alone, how many waves were stirred, his life, his soul, and then entered the Yellow Spring before he reached the time when the dead soul was out of his body. He suffered a kind of "suffering", and skinning compared to it is insignificant. However, instead of the bell into the underworld, the dumb man did not have any remorse, he thought that this was the punishment he deserved, he was very grateful to the heavens, so that he finally found his mistake, they were unknown, and spent their lives ferrying the souls of the dead, who said that they were dark and ruthless, they were the good people who could rely on and seek the most protection after the death of the living beings.
The yellow spring water rushed so fast that the mute had long since disappeared.
Prince Ah Dou was directly stunned, he stood on the board of the ship, standing next to the corpses of the slave and the bell, suddenly turned into an empty shell, what did he just do? It is true that he has never killed a giant, and during the period of pretending to be controlled by the Katans, however, he will not back down from it, he is an enemy, and the little Prince Adou will not dodge. But he didn't expect to kill people like this. Ah Dou really didn't mean that, he just saw that Sister Bell was in pain, he really didn't expect that things would get to this point, the guilt in his heart at the moment was by no means lower than that of a dumb gravedigger, he lay on the board of the boat, crying loudly, shaking his head and blaming himself.
At the last junction of the world and the Huangquan Road, there are countless bright red flowers blooming on both sides, and there is such a beautiful place in the transition between the underworld and the yang.
I don't know how long it took, Prince Ah Dou was picked up by the slave, Prince Ah Dou looked up, sluggish like a fool, he saw the bell, with a look of the country and the city, glamorous posture of all the women in the world, leaning on the bow of the boat, her beauty is visible, willing to give her life, in the flying petals on the other side, and put on a layer of seductive illusion.
This appearance can make a man become a child, and make a woman cry for a man.
"Suzu... Bell... Sister.... You... You—" Prince Dou said this after a full hour, and the ship also stopped at the border of the sun, leaning against the shore.
The bell pinched a flower on the other side and placed it on her chest, the black hole in her heart was long gone, a warm wind blew, and the flower broke into strips of flocculents, sticking to the hair that the bell was scattered on her chest.
"You... Sister..."
Bell seemed to have a thousand feelings in her eyes, her lips were as bright red as flowers on the other side, and she slowly stretched out her hand, touched Prince Adou's head, held it up, and then looked at the flowers on both sides of the strait in a lost mind.
Ah Dou stopped talking, he didn't know what to say anymore, he was stupid.
Maybe after a long, long time, the bell finally made a sound, her lips opened slightly, sighed softly, and said to the calm yellow spring water at the bottom of the boat: "I don't know your name, dumb, thank you, all this is a beautiful mistake, a cruel mistake, I can only hope that Huangquan will thank you on my behalf, if in the next life, we can still meet, I-- for you to continue your life." ”
"Sister... In the end...."Prince Adou looked at the bell like a ghost. Bell looked at him sadly, sighed softly, shed tears, and said: "The mute soul has replaced my soul, but his flesh and blood still have life, the underworld Huangquan only accepts the dead soul, and the life in his flesh and blood has been pushed back to my corpse, therefore, my current lifespan is the original lifespan of the mute, and my flesh and blood have also been reborn because of the mute's life." ”
"Oh... "Prince Ah Dou really doesn't know what to say, I really don't know, I'm really stupid."
The bell sighed, looked at the flowers on the other side, and said, "Look at this beautiful flower again, look at it again, what an honor to be able to see this scene." She was right, from the beginning of Huangquan Road, to now, a total of two groups of people have seen this flower, one group is the protagonist of the vigorous love story back then, and the other group is the bell and Ah Dou after countless years, no one else has ever been here, and the soul is impossible. And they can see this, it is precisely because the pair of people in ancient times did the same thing, but the story is so poignant that it touched the heavens and the earth, and these flowers on the other side are also the protagonists of the story back then, who shed blood and tears, planted, of course, the protagonist did not return to the yang world.
Nan Jue's words: Some people may feel abrupt, thinking that the bell is resurrected too quickly. In fact, the night after the bell died, Nan Jue thought of reborn the bell in this way. The gravediggers didn't want to use more ink in the first place, but from the very beginning, Nam Jue designed the gravediggers as a group of people who are detached from the emotions of the world, but really for the great good of the world, and this is indeed linked to a love story.
Nanjue actually conceived quite a lot of stories in the outline, such as the Hanging Tan Clan, why their ancestors created this technique, it is also fascinating, but Nanjue can't write it every time, just like this, this is a story that can't be told in three words or two sentences, Nanjue can only say that there will be a trilogy of Yin and Yang Stone, at least three, it should be in the third part, it will be possible to involve this once poignant story, whether to say it or not at the moment actually has little impact on the main line, just like the chapter of Fang Tianmu Ghost Emperor's tears, Nan Jue regretted a little at first, he shouldn't have written that, after all, it might be a story that could only be written much later, but Nan Jue thinks about it now, why do you have to conceive one by one? This is a big story, a story to be told for a long time, he has too much content, too much to write. Nanjue had to narrate it simply, if the process of how the bell was resurrected was written, and why the boat came there, what the other side flower was, and where the ancient protagonist went without returning to the yang world, it would seem cumbersome, after all, the later story is directly related to the big story line, therefore, Nanjue successfully resurrected the bell in a simple and fast, but reasonable way.
This is a big net, Mu Ziyun alone gradually connected the stories of each member who was separated, and the final story is often the most difficult to write, the most complex, and the most thought-provoking story, therefore, Mu Ziyun should be ranked last, after all, everyone's stories are not so interesting compared to his.
