Chapter 78: Life and Death (6)
Uncle Li is old in the end, and his growth environment is different from that of the child named Li Yun, and he is not like a child who can't understand other people's hints. His family is not prosperous about feudal superstition, but in the past 80 years of life, he has always heard some strange stories and various superstitious rules passed down by word of mouth.
Isn't burning paper money a superstition? superstition: Dead relatives and friends need food, clothing, and money in another world; Superstitious dead relatives and friends still have sanity, still remember everything, and can communicate with the world at certain times. Qingming, Shangyuan, bull head and horse face, return to the soul...... Including the ghost town of Xudu that Bai Wuchang mentioned just now, Uncle Li knew about it, but he forgot where he knew about it.
Staying in the world and accompanying Aunt Li is probably not good.
When Uncle Li thought of this, he sighed, and his expression became gloomy.
Li Yun is not good at words, and he sees Uncle Li's loneliness, but he doesn't know how to comfort him.
He glanced at Hei Wuchang, who seemed to be in a better mood, and then at Bai Wuchang, who was still expressionless, and changed the subject, "Are people abroad like this?" There is a world where the dead live, and ghosts can also stay in the human world and go to reincarnation? ”
Bai Wuchang nodded, "It's roughly the same, except that they don't call it Xudu there." ”
"Can you connect with people too?" Li Yun asked again.
Bai Wuchang hesitated: "Probably yes." He looked at the darkness.
Hei Wuchang said lazily, "You want to contact your parents? Or contact your grandparents? ”
Li Yun was slightly surprised.
He hadn't met his maternal grandparents, and his mother hadn't mentioned it. He only knew that his mother was an only child, and her biological parents died unexpectedly when she was young, and she was brought up by her grandparents, and when she became an adult, she sent away her grandparents who died of illness, and she had been single until she met her father.
His grandparents both believed in Buddhism and believed in the six realms of reincarnation, and if they do good deeds in this life and accumulate blessings, they will be able to have a good birth in the next life. After they died at an early age, their families did not worship them, and they did not even buy a cemetery, so they chose to be buried at sea. They should have gone to reincarnation, and it is impossible for them to stay in Xudu, and they will not stay in the human world.
And his parents had studied abroad, they met abroad, and originally planned to emigrate overseas. Later, when they returned to China to live, they broke off the idea of immigration, but when they were abroad, their religion was not put down. They went to church every week during their lifetimes.
Li Yun originally had nothing to worry about, but now he knows that the deceased may be living in another world, and the only ones who will be concerned are his parents who died not long ago.
Hei Wuchang continued to say in that lazy tone: "You have to ask foreigners about this." ”
Li Yun's parents did not force him to become a religious, he only knew that the foreign saying was that he would ascend to heaven or fall into hell after death, and the idea of reincarnation did not seem to be very popular. He also didn't understand the way the deceased communicated with the living, and he had no clue how to go to his parents.
Li Yun was a little annoyed, but he was not in a hurry.
His parents passed away last year, so there was no need to rush to contact him or find them directly. On the contrary, if they knew that he died like this, they didn't know how distressed they would be. Maybe they don't know this, but staying in heaven is a good choice for them.
This kind of thinking that children report good news to their parents but not bad news is also common.
Black and white impermanence didn't care much about Li Yun's choice, Uncle Li was a little sympathetic to Li Yun, but he still had troubles of his own, and his personality was not Aunt Li's self-familiarity, so he just comforted him dryly.
Li Yun nodded and smiled kindly at Uncle Li.
As they spoke, Black and White Impermanence had already flown over two more cities with them.
Entering an unfamiliar city center, looking at the old buildings and bustling street scenes around them, Li Yun and Uncle Li were puzzled.
It's not like a residential area.
Black and white impermanence landed directly, and even the two of them were on the ground. Black Impermanence walked ahead, and walked around to the back of a building.
Li Yun had already realized that among the two people of black and white impermanence, black impermanence was the one who took the idea, and he seemed to know more than white impermanence.
A loud bang interrupted Li Yun's thinking.
Black Impermanence tugged at the doorknob roughly, kicked the plastic door, and pushed the door open.
After opening the door and entering, he stood in the doorway and motioned for the three of them to follow.
Li Yun was a little baffled. He couldn't see the clue from the black and white impermanence on his face, and Uncle Li's face was as dazed as him.
When I entered the building, I saw that after the door was closed, I kicked the door a few times before closing the door tightly.
All three looked at him.
Hei Wuchang stuck his waist and asked, "What are you looking at?" Press the elevator. ”
Bai Wuchang silently pressed the elevator button, only to see that the button emitted a dim light.
At night, the office building was naturally turned off by the public power.
They could only see their surroundings clearly with the light emanating from Bai Wuchang's body.
Only then did Li Yun see the word "fault" on the paint on the elevator door.
As soon as I saw it clearly, I heard a rumbling sound from the elevator shaft.
The elevator doors creaked open, like a waddling old man.
There are lights in the elevator, but the light bulbs are flickering and flickering, and with the rusty elevator walls, it looks like a ghost movie scene.
Despite being a ghost and being surrounded by black and white impermanence, Li Yun still felt a little nervous.
He thought that it would not be easy for him to kill his own people.
Black and white impermanence is a ghost, right? There is an official position. But in those novels and movies, there are a lot of ghosts, yin soldiers, and even Yama immortals who were killed by villains, right? Sun Wukong also made a big fuss about the Dragon Palace, the underworld and the heavenly court, and almost killed him, and he was planted in the hands of the Buddha.
Li Yun thought wildly, and saw that Hei Wuchang had already entered the elevator, and urged them to come in quickly.
Bai Wuchang was the first to go in, and Lao Li and Li Yun could only follow in.
Hei Wuchang pressed the number key of "4", and poked the door button several times, and finally heard the elevator door click and make a noise, and slowly closed.
"Why don't you just go?" Li Yun stared at the flickering number "4" and asked about the impermanence of black and white.
They had been able to go straight through the window without hindrance.
Bai Wuchang didn't answer, but looked at Black Impermanence.
Hei Wuchang replied casually: "Because you can't get it directly." This is the only way to go. ”
"That murderer, very powerful?" Li Yun asked worriedly.
Black Impermanence sneered, "It's just a mouse." ”
His self-confidence did not bring confidence to Li Yun, but reminded him of a lot of cannon fodder who overturned in the gutter and was killed by the villain, as well as long-winded villains who were killed by the protagonist.
Hei Wuchang turned his head, and his gaze fell on Li Yun, "Little ghost, what do you want?" Think I can't handle that little mouse? ”
Li Yun was silent.
Hei Wuchang snorted, as if he was very angry, but he didn't get angry at Li Yun, he just made a stinky face.
Bai Wuchang said abruptly: "The black senior is very powerful. ”
Li Yun and Uncle Li both looked at Bai Wuchang.
"Shut up." Black Impermanence scolded angrily.
"Aren't you brothers?" Li Yun asked.
"Which eye did you see that we were brothers?" Black Impermanence reprimanded Li Yun again.
Li Yun's gaze swept over the identical faces and figures of the two.
"It's a uniform." Hei Wuchang said thoughtlessly, his tone was still not good.
"You mean, that's not what you look like?" Li Yun was surprised.
"Of course not." Hei Wuchang was about to say something, but the elevator shook violently, interrupting him.
The elevator doors began to rattle again, and opened with a shudder.
