Chapter 238: Death means changing from a person to a small mound, right? (Illusion of Life and Death Part 1)

"Is it so easy to see through the illusion of life and death..."

Tian Ganzi looked at Chen Zhixing who was in eternal sleep through the coffin lid and murmured to himself.

next moment.

He stretched out his finger and gently touched the coffin lid.

A trace of spiritual thought suddenly poured into the coffin lid, and then entered Chen Zhixing's sea of ​​consciousness.

...

...

at the same time.

Chen Zhixing entered an extremely strange state.

His vision just went dark, but when he opened his eyes again, it was a different picture.

[Then, pile after pile of loess was covered under the coffin, and finally the coffin was completely submerged and buried in the loess. 】

...

[But when he told his father what he said, his father thought it was true.]

...

Can you actually construct a world directly and use it as a path to enlightenment?

Lai Binai looked at it silently.

[Perhaps... death doesn't turn from a person into a big mound? 】

【Well, he is honest.】

[Speaking of that, his father changed the topic, and then said with an angry smile: "You come from a poor family? What a bastard, just look at how cowardly he is, and he can read and publish a book? Not yet, A humble family, a humble family, does he know what a humble family is? A humble family, a humble family, this is also a wealthy family! Does our family deserve to be called a humble family?']

...

[In this situation where he was forced to have no choice but to follow his father since he was a child, he traveled all over the country. When someone died in every household from all over the country, his father would make paper people, make paper horses, carry coffins, and repair graves. Stay aside quietly.】

[He only monopolized the entire Tianganzi business and even extended his business to Huangqiao Town.]

[When he is younger and has finished gaining strength, his father wants to take him out of the coffin and delay the stranger's entry into the industry, so that he may not take over my business in the future.]

[However, in that Qianzi, because the affairs of any family would trouble them, the Chen family did not suffer any discrimination. On the contrary, almost every household outside the village was quite polite to the Chen family. Did not add.】

【A living person just turned into a big mound.】

"Coffin bearer...is the profession that brings the most exposure to death in the mortal world, right?"

[Because his mother died early, although he lacked food and clothing when he was young, he had many people to take care of him. 】

"here it is......?"

[Fortunately, the other person carrying the coffin is an experienced master who has been carrying coffins for decades, and nothing happened along the way. 】

[This is the first time his father beats him.]

[Of course, the more important thing is that he was stunned by the slap from his father, and he has not been able to recover to this day. 】

[Furthermore, his father was relatively clueless. Before he became a coffin bearer, he also took over other jobs such as a papermaker, a coffin shop, and a drummer, and together they opened a charity shop.

It can be regarded as a one-stop funeral service.]

[His great-grandfather didn’t have much talent, but only a handful of strength. An old man died outside the village and there was a shortage of coffin bearers, so he asked his great-grandfather to pick up the coffin.]

[With a cry of "Wow", he fell to the ground. 】

[He was confused because he had never seen me look so angry on his father’s face.]

[Because he doesn’t want to be a coffin bearer and deal with the dead again. 】

I shook my head, gathered my thoughts, and looked at the picture of the fantasy world with concentration.

I'm not very curious as to whether those scenes were caused by the effects of the Death Pill or Chen Zhixing's methods.

[His father slapped him hard on the face.]

【From now on, life and death are separated by narrow distances.】

“Such a way to experience the trails…”

[His father said: 'Others may understand our line of work, but in fact what we do is to accumulate virtue for our descendants. Carrying the coffin is a blessing. In the next few years, the coffin bearers will

All four of them are called coffin bearers, and when the county magistrate sees them, he has to call them Four Immortals, or Four Little Vajras!']

The screen continued to move forward, and Chen Zhixing's voice continued to sound intermittently.

【Snapped!】

"Chen Zhixing will tell you later that he will let you remember who you are. This will be a light to illuminate your return. Is it because he wants to express his feelings and is afraid that you will get lost in that illusionary world?"

[Therefore, before he was born, he lived a relatively comfortable life. 】

[His father, whose original name was Chen Jisheng, was sitting under a bamboo stool with a paper figurine. Hearing this, he placed the paper figurine and laughed hotly and said, "Yes, he grew up eating the food of the dead."

Ah! They are wrong again! Xingyaozi, you tell him that he is the only one who grew up eating the food of the dead. Including you and his grandfather, they all grew up eating the food of the dead! And you all did that.

Is it right for him to do his job?']

[His name is Chen Daxing, born in Tianqianzi, Huangqiao Town, Jiangzhou, Dongxuan Territory.]

[According to his father, our old Chen family relies on coffin-carrying, so naturally we need to practice coffin-carrying first.]

[First, in a state of confusion, his father grabbed his ears and pushed him out of the house, only to come out after piercing ten paper figures. 】

[Time passed quickly, and due to the pressure from his father, he ended up helping outsiders. 】

[It only needs to be carried in a stable manner so that the dead person outside the coffin can suffer bumps on the road, and can still turn around and pause on the way, and the coffin can be dropped to the ground.]

[He is not a native villager of Tiangianzi. His grandfather was hit by a locust plague and fled all the way to Tiangianzi. He was helped by the evil villagers, and he has taken root in Laibinai since then. 】

[His mother passed away early. He died of illness shortly after he was born, so his memories of his mother came from his father's mouth. 】

[Before Qi’s grandfather died, his grandfather took over his grandfather’s position and continued to be a coffin bearer.]

[I was so angry that my whole hand was shaking, and I said angrily: ‘He said he was a lowly person? Even if he was a lowly person, it would still support him! Big bastard, who taught him to pick up a bowl to eat, and then curse at his mother when he put the bowl down?’]

last moment.

A midwife was constantly cheering the gentle woman on, asking her to keep working hard.

[His face was full of submission: 'People also said that our business is the top four among the top four, just a little worse than the kiln sister outside the town, the upper class!']

[On this day, he and I had a peaceful quarrel that we had never had before! 】

[When the coffin was carried down the mountain and placed in the tomb, and the coffin was opened for the last time for the family members to pay homage to the remains, and the family members were crying heartbrokenly by the side, his mood became less high for the first time. 】

[Looking at the dead man lying quietly outside the coffin, moving and turning, with a pale face, and then looking at the relatives and friends around him who were crying to death, he couldn't stop thinking, what is death? 】

[And that also started the division and harmony of their Chen family.]

[My father’s words left him speechless.]

A thoughtful look flashed in Chen Zhixing's eyes.

Chen Zhixing was slightly startled, and he wanted to ask where this was.

"Huh? Coffin bearer?"

Come to think of it, this is the illusion of life and death mentioned by Tian Qianzi, right?

"...Illusion? And here I am, just a consciousness wandering outside this world?"

[Whether it’s bad in the town or in four other villages, if no one dies, they will come to find the Chen family.]

Lijiacun watched everything silently, with a look of disinterest on his face.

...

[He practiced for half a year and carried coffins with his father several times before finally getting his first chance to carry a coffin alone a year ago. 】

However, no matter how he asked, the other people in the picture seemed to not be able to see him and just passed through his body indifferently.

[The matter of carrying the coffin sounds complicated, but in reality it is difficult.]

【Death, for him, is a matter of separation and reconciliation.】

And he needs to understand the path of life and death here.

[From then on, his grandfather became a coffin bearer in Tianganzi.]

【But he has never resisted. 】

【He found the answer to that question.】

[According to what people inside say, people who work in their profession are lucky, and if they are contaminated with bad luck, they are killing themselves, not the people around them.]

"Using this as an access point to understand the path of life and death is really nothing new."

[Heavy rain poured down, making the mountain road slippery and muddy. It was not difficult to walk steadily by yourself, not to mention having to carry a coffin to keep it stable. 】

At the same time, a voice of Chen Zhixing's painting sounded in my ears.

Spring passes and autumn comes, and in that picture, each year passes by.

"It's boring... let's do it now."

It was a house that looked a bit old and shabby. A gentle-looking woman was sitting on the bed, grabbing the edge of the bed with both hands, biting a wet handkerchief, and rows of cold sweat pouring out of her forehead.

[In that world, the eight sects and four sects were clearly divided, and the hierarchy was strict. The Chen family had been coffin bearers for generations, which was the highest rank among the upper four sects, and was only a little worse than the fourth-rate prostitutes. 】

[The first thing he did was not carry the coffin.]

The picture gradually receded behind Lijiacun's eyes.

last moment.

Lai Bin loves to mutter to himself.

【No one wants to have peace before death.】

[Before he finished speaking, he added another sentence: 'You are going to get fame! You are going to be a scholar or a retired scholar, instead of being a petty official before! This is so majestic! We have said that as long as you have no ambition, a noble son can be born from a poor family!

'】

【Therefore, he has been in contact with the dead since he was very young.】

[Up to this point, before he was born, eight generations of his ancestors, Fenhe, were all engaged in the funeral industry.]

Lijiacun, who was still confused at the beginning, gradually became blurred after the end of his consciousness, as if he had completely transformed into Chen Daxing of that world, gradually forgetting everything.

[Yes, at this time, although he was familiar with death, his concept of death was very vague. He did not know what death actually represented. ]

[He was young and vigorous, and shouted at me in a low voice: "You were the one who wanted to do those things before! Dad, does he know what the classmates outside the school said about you? We all said that you were eating dead people's food."

A grown-up child!']

[First, a drizzle of rain hit his face, and then as relatives of the deceased expressed their condolences and cried and shouted, he chanted mantras and sealed the coffin completely with dragon nails. 】

[For the first time, he had no understanding of death.]

[On this day, the sky was so clear and frightening, and the sky was so dense that it seemed like it was about to fall. It was so depressing that it made people gasp for breath. 】

[After all, death is something that no one can escape. No one dies. If you offend them too much, there is no guarantee that they will pull off such a trick when their ancestors are buried. 】
