Chapter 1: Where do people go when they die?

Next Chapter

Who am I? Where do I come from? Where am I going? Zhou Ming has always thought that only those philosophers who do not worry about eating, drinking, having fun, and not being short of money will seriously think about the problem, and they have nothing to do with him, a small person who can get by. Until that day, a medical examination slip from the hospital was delivered to him, and he was directly pronounced dead. He had a terminal illness that he had never heard before, and he didn't know the so-called foreign style when he saw the name. The unreal feeling made Zhou Ming think he was dreaming, but the doctor told him very clearly that he had seven days to live.

How did he get out of the hospital, Zhou Ming didn't know, he used his mobile phone to check it on the Internet, and there was really such an inexplicable disease. And it is also a terminal illness with no cure. Zhou Ming, who couldn't accept it, ran to two large hospitals behind him, and the same test results finally made him accept this fact. That night, Zhou Ming was drunk outside, and finally lay on the bridge, crying bitterly.

What would you do if you were told that you only had a few days to live? Zhou Ming quit his job, and then sold everything he could, including game accounts that he had been playing for six or seven years, dolls that he had been taking care of, and well-preserved books that he liked. The money lent out was also forcibly asked for back by him regardless of his friendship, and the collected funds, Zhou Ming quietly set up a regular payment, only waiting for a few days to be transferred to his parents' bank account.

In the following time, Zhou Ming didn't dare to go home at all, but every night, he would still call home to chat with his parents, and in the chat, he quietly led the topic to overseas work. chatting with parents naturally involves children's problems, and Zhou Ming, who has always been single and free, is naturally nagging by his mother. In the past, Zhou Ming would change the topic with a smile, but now, when his life was about to end, Zhou Ming found that when he died, he would leave no trace in this world, and his parents, who were already old, would not have anyone to take care of them after losing his only son, and even the blood of his parents was cut off here. Zhou Mingbei came from the heart, no, can't be like this, it must be, it must leave a child.

Zhou Ming took out his money and began to look for suitable women online and around him, he wanted a child. But, in any case, this kind of thing is unlikely to come to fruition in a few days. So, Zhou Ming contacted a trustworthy Fa Xiao, told him the truth, and asked him for help, and Fa Xiao agreed silently. Under the heavy money, many women contacted Zhou Ming with their health certificates.

In those lingering nights later, there is no emotion, no love, only a transaction between you and me. In the deep emptiness, Zhou Ming remembered a woman, that was the reason why he was still single, and that was the first time in his life. Zhou Ming didn't know her name, he didn't even remember what she looked like, Zhou Ming met her on the night of a party. At that time, he was a little delirious after being drunk, and then when he went outside to blow the wind, he saw a beautiful woman passing by. It should be a very beautiful person, very temperamental, and the drunken Zhou Ming was attracted at that time, and then with the strength of the wine, he went up uncharacteristically to talk. Zhou Ming didn't know what happened later, but when he woke up, he was on the bed of a hotel, and the bits of red left on the messy sheets clearly told him that something happened last night. But the memory is vague, and there is no news when I ask the waiter, only the impression is the temperature of the nostalgia on the satin skin, and the eagle wings tattooed on her shoulder.

However, God seems to love to joke with people, and the people who he once thought he would never see suddenly appeared in his life again. At this time, Zhou Ming still had three days left, when he dragged his tired body back to his rented room from the hotel. Zhou Ming was surprised to find that there was a small cradle at the door of his room, and when he walked in, there was a baby who was asleep with his fingers in his mouth, and there was a letter on the baby's body. On the envelope, there is a picture of an eagle spreading its wings that only exists in memory. Opened the letter with a trembling hand, there was no other explanation in Juanxiu's font, just told Zhou Ming that the baby was his child.

The great joy came too suddenly, but Zhou Ming, who was empty and tired these days, was dizzy and almost fell down the stairs. After hurriedly holding on to the wall and standing firmly, Zhou Ming looked at the little baby in the cradle a little blankly, and finally laughed, laughing and laughing, but he shed tears. Zhou Ming didn't go to the woman, nor did he think about why she sent the child over at this time. But no matter what, Zhou Ming is grateful to him. Without even opening the door, Zhou Ming picked up the small cradle and rushed to the best hospital in the city with the baby. This hospital once ruthlessly gave Zhou Ming's fate, Zhou Ming didn't like it here, but now, without even thinking about it, he came here. Eight hours later, Zhou Ming took back the personal appraisal certificate in his hand into his arms: "Son, let's go home." But they immediately booked a plane ticket home, and the women who had traded with Zhou Ming before also called one by one to end the transaction.

Zhou Ming, who took the child home, made his parents smile, and the parents, who were so happy that they couldn't keep their mouths together, issued a military order to Zhou Ming, and he must marry the child's mother back, Zhou Ming responded with a smile, but knew that this was just a lie that could not be realized. A day later, Zhou Ming left, telling his parents that he had signed a contract to work overseas for five years. The parents were very angry, but Zhou Ming emphasized that there was nothing they could do about signing the contract, so they had to pack a lot of luggage and let Zhou Ming leave. A day later, in a humble rented house, in the company of Fa Xiao, Zhou Ming stopped breathing.

Now, you say, if a person dies, where will he go? Do you want to go through the legendary Nai He Bridge, drink a bowl of Meng Po soup, forget everything and be reincarnated? Or go to hell or heaven? Or is it just gone, nothing is gone? Of course, Zhou Ming doesn't know what will happen, but if he really dies, there will be nothing, and that is really sad.

It felt like the autumn mist was dispelled by the morning light, and in the midst of the gloomy, a voice suddenly sounded, "Who am I?" "I'm Zhou Ming." "Where do I come from?" "I don't know. "Where am I going?" "I don't know. "What's wrong with me?" "I'm dead. "Dead, I'm dead, I'm dead, I'm dead, I'm dead, I'm dead, I'm dead, ...........I'm dead, I'm dead, I'm dead, I'm dead.............., I'm dead In an instant, the light suddenly appeared, Zhou Ming's consciousness finally became clear, and then what was imprinted in his eyes was a huge full moon, without any stars, lonely hanging high in the sky. Countless silver ribbons float across the endless night sky with the full moon as their source. Between heaven and earth, there was a thin mist, which was the condensation of the moonlight, and the name of the huge moon was Taiyin.

"Why do I know this? Where is this?" Zhou Ming felt very confused: "Am I not dead? Is this the world after death? Or have I been reincarnated? Reincarnation? By the way, my body." In the chaos, Zhou Ming suddenly thought of his body and hurriedly looked down. But at his feet, there was a valley, in the middle of the valley, there was a lake, in the middle of the lake, there was a lotus plant, the lotus flower was five or six meters above the water, and even the unbloomed bud was two meters long. Around the buds, the faint moonlight condenses into a thin veil, slowly rotating like a cantilever and being sucked into the buds, which is wonderful and abnormal.

However, it was not this, Zhou Ming's gaze moved downward, and then through the water, along the thick stalks of the lotus, to the bottom of the lake. At the bottom of the lake, some small fluorescent creatures were wandering gently, and then Zhou Ming saw that there was a stone half a meter in size at the lotus rhizome rooted in a piece of jade, which was inconspicuous, and the only thing that was different was that within half a meter around the stone, the water at the bottom of the lake was separated. That's right, that's it. Zhou Ming just determined at a glance that it was himself, or rather, he was in that stone. As if he understood this, Zhou Ming suddenly felt that his perspective was pulled back, and when he was paying attention to his surroundings, the most conspicuous thing was the jade-like lotus stalk beside him. However, before Zhou Ming could observe for a while, suddenly, a wave of tiredness hit him, and soon, Zhou Ming fell asleep.

I don't know how long it has been, although in Zhou Ming's feelings, it is only between closing his eyes and opening his eyes, but. The white jade-like lotus rhizome around me in my memory has now turned cyan. Zhou Ming felt that he was very energetic now, and he thought that he should be reincarnated in his current situation, and he might not be in his previous world. But no matter what, it feels good to be alive, although I may not be able to be an adult anymore, after all, I don't know, what will be the thing born from the stone?

In my previous life, I can't do anything about it now, I just hope that five years later, after my parents know the truth, they won't be too sad. I only hope that my children, when they grow up, can replace themselves and honor their parents. Zhou Ming prayed silently in his heart, and then quickly, he adjusted his mentality, and now the main thing is that he wants to live well in this world. So with Zhou Ming's thoughts, the vision rose rapidly, as if another invisible self appeared on the surface of the lake. Zhou Ming saw it again, that magical lotus. However, unlike the first night I saw, the lotus flower that Zhou Ming saw at this time, the buds that were originally tightly closed, had quietly bloomed half of them at this time. Moreover, around the lotus flower, it was no longer a gauzy cantilever spinning, but a faint golden flame was burning and jumping.

"Is this because it's daytime?" Zhou Ming looked at the sky thoughtfully, only to see a huge golden sun entrenched in the gray-white sky, the huge feeling as if it was about to fall in the next second, exuding huge light and heat, and a strong sense of vitality, the name of the sun is the sun. Of course, the pronunciation of this name is not dreaming of the sun in the Chinese character that you are familiar with in your previous life, but only this is the meaning. After all, whether it is Taiyin or the sun, I don't know why, although I can understand it, but these two words Zhou Ming can't read it. Zhou Ming looked around and found that the place where he was now seemed to be blocked by some huge mountain ranges, and the distant sky around him, the continuous mountain shadows seemed to be as high as the sky, which was incredible.

Then go a little higher, go up and see, what is in the distance? The line of sight rises, the vision widens, the trees, the huge trees are connected, like the ocean, the mountains, the bigger mountains, the endless, like the walls of the world. Keep rising, still mountains, still trees, ah, sea, see the sea, endless sea. Keep rising, what else? What else is there in the distance? The sight is still rising, and the small valley that could still be seen is now completely invisible, but the world that catches your eye is still spreading. Suddenly, Zhou Ming saw a huge cylindrical black shadow, and he had previously felt that the mountains on the wall of the world were so insignificant compared to this black shadow, as if thousands of the largest mountain ranges he had seen before were connected to reach the width of this black shadow, not to mention the height of the heavens and the earth. Zhou Ming lost his mind, just like he saw the moon and the sun for the first time, he knew what it was, it was a leg, and countless mysterious trajectories intertwined in Zhou Ming's heart, forming two divine patterns, which were the two most noble words in heaven and earth, Pangu. After understanding the meaning of these two divine patterns in his heart, Zhou Ming only felt that his head sank, and then his vision dropped rapidly, but he instantly retracted back into the stone next to the rhizome under the lotus flower, and then fell into a deep sleep.
