Lonely Immortal

Zhang Zhiwen looked at his fourth uncle, and his fourth uncle also looked at him with his eyes wide open. When they looked at each other again, Zhang Zhiwen felt that his fourth uncle had something to say to him.

Zhang Zhiwen couldn't help but move closer, and at this time, something strange happened. Zhang Zhiwen heard the faint voice of his fourth uncle.

"Hurry... hurry up..."

The voice of the fourth uncle seemed to come out from the abyss with difficulty, which surprised Zhang Zhiwen. He hurriedly looked at the dead face of the fourth uncle, but the fourth uncle still looked like he was dying with his eyes open, and there was no other expression change.

Zhang Zhiwen is a cultivator. Although he was a little surprised, he subconsciously whispered: "Why is this?"

But this time the fourth uncle didn't react at all. He just said that sentence just now, and he was not sure whether it was said by him, and then there was no reaction.

Seeing Zhang Zhiwen so close to the fourth uncle, Lin Qingshu was also a little strange, but Lin Qingshu didn't say much, because now Zhang Zhiwen was the only one who had some opinions.

But the villagers didn't think so. The villagers gathered together, very frightened, and said a lot. Most of them said that this incident must have been caused by the village chief. The village chief didn't know how he died, and now the fourth uncle didn't know how he died.

At that time, the fourth uncle was close to the village chief, so the fourth uncle must have been stuck by something unclean, otherwise how could such a thing happen?

But some people don't believe this kind of thing. Some people think that if someone is going to die, it will be the fourth uncle. Why are the villagers around him also unlucky? That's not logical. Logically, the second person to die should be Lin Qingshu. Lin Qingshu is the closest to the fourth uncle. And when the pig died, it was Lin Qingshu who went to see the situation. Lin Qingshu didn't die, which means that this matter has nothing to do with who is closer to the village chief's body.

Another thing is that there were many people present at the time, and everyone couldn't say who was closer and who was farther away. Therefore, many people didn't think that this matter had anything to do with whether it was close to the village chief's body.

But if this is the case, then what is the reason?

The death of village chief Zhang Wensheng was unclear, and he left a creepy blood symbol on the ground. The blood symbol was half-painted. It was not a good omen at first glance, and it looked like a dirty thing.

At that time, many people thought that village chief Zhang Wensheng must not have committed suicide by hanging. It was very likely that he was followed by some dirty things, and finally he hanged himself for some reason. The villagers had heard of this kind of thing before.

But at that time, everyone did not delve into the matter, always feeling that it was too mysterious. In addition, Lin Qingshu had already put the person down and prepared for the burial. As time went by, everyone gradually did not care too much about how village chief Zhang Wensheng died.

But in fact, this kind of thing happened again now. The fourth uncle also followed the situation of village chief Zhang Wensheng, and it was exactly the same. He also hanged himself.

Not only that, his whole family hanged themselves. Why did they hang themselves for no reason? When village chief Zhang Wensheng hanged himself, everyone might not know the reason, but why did the fourth uncle hang himself?

There is clearly no special reason. Everything was fine before. Also, even if Fourth Uncle had something to worry about, it would be fine if he hanged himself alone. Why did the whole family hang themselves?

The strangest thing is that the child in Fourth Uncle's family, such a young child, also hanged himself. I have never seen such a thing before. Adults can still say that they can't get over it, but why can't children get over it?

This is the most strange thing for the villagers. Moreover, not only did Fourth Uncle's family hang themselves, but several villagers around also hanged themselves. Almost every family of the villagers has both old and young. So the young ones also can't get over it with Fourth Uncle?

This is clearly impossible!

"Why don't we report it to the police!"

"Yes, I think the matter is not simple. We should report it to the police!"

...

The villagers began to get restless because the more they talked, the more scared they became. Originally, the villagers here didn't want to report it to the police because the mountain village was almost isolated from the outside world. Except for occasionally going out to purchase some things, they didn't deal with the outside world most of the time.

This has always been the rule of the village. It seems that there is an ancestral precept, and the ancestral precept of such a place is not strange. Many villages in the mountains have such ancestral precepts.

They all fled here to avoid the war during the war years, and then the ancestral precepts were passed down from generation to generation. But now the world is still peaceful outside, and there is contact with the outside world at ordinary times, otherwise there is no place to get some things for life.

Although there are many villagers in the village, it is impossible to be self-sufficient in everything. Occasionally, there are still a few supplies that need to be exchanged with the outside world.

Another thing is that the village chief Zhang Wensheng asked Zhang Zhiwen to be the teacher of the children, which means that he hopes that the children will leave this place one day, and they don’t want their descendants to stay here forever.

But this matter is a bit interesting. This was proposed by the village chief Zhang Wensheng, but it violates the ancestral precepts, and the villagers agreed to this matter. Some things here are not clear.

Logically speaking, the ancestral precepts do not allow villagers to go out, but if the children study hard and pass the imperial examinations, they will definitely have to go out. What are the consequences of violating the ancestral precepts?

But now no one in the villagers here has thought about this. They all think it is haunted or something.

If you want to say that this thing is haunted, it is not impossible, but it is haunted. To say that, you always need to find evidence, and someone must have seen it, right?

But once you see something like this, I'm afraid it will end up being killed, and there is no evidence. Just like this fourth uncle, even if he encounters a ghost, isn't he a family member? Were they all killed by ghosts?

Therefore, the villagers could not handle this matter any longer, so the villagers decided to seek help from outside governments.

But as soon as this was said, some people immediately objected.

"That's not okay, we can't go against the teachings of our ancestors!"

"That's it. Besides, what can the government do? Even if they come to check, I'm afraid they won't be able to find any reason!"

"Yes, I think this matter should never be reported to the official. It's better for us to solve it ourselves!"

…

Many people objected, so the matter was dropped.

Zhang Zhiwen was actually a little surprised when he heard that they wanted to report to the government, because if these people wanted to report to the government, then he would not be able to stay here, and he would have to take Lin Mingyue and the children to flee again .

Because he is a wanted criminal!

But now it seems that the villagers are unwilling to report to the official.

"Then if you don't report it to the official, what do you think I'll do?"

"Yeah, this thing is so weird, it must be up to no good. What should we do now? We don't want to die!"

…

The villagers began to feel a little at a loss. Now this is not the case and that is not the case. Zhang Zhiwen felt that they were just a group of ants trapped on a hot pot. No matter how they went, they would be dead ends.

"How about everyone leave here first?"

Zhang Zhiwen thought of his fourth uncle's words. Although he was not necessarily sure that it was the dead person who had left him a message, he felt that the best way now was to leave this unlucky place.

As soon as these words came out, the villagers were a little stunned, because this is the place where their ancestors have lived for generations, and they have never left this place since they were born.

This statement made them very scared. They were afraid of the outside world and did not dare to go to the outside world.

"No, no, we are not leaving here!"

"Yes, our ancestors told us not to leave here. Sir, why don't you leave!"

"Yes, if you want to leave, it's up to you and your family to leave. Leave us alone!"

…

The villagers were kind-hearted and did not want to injure Zhang Zhiwen and his family, so they advised Zhang Zhiwen and his family to leave this place quickly.

But the more this happened, the more Zhang Zhiwen couldn't just leave.

He felt the core problem of this level.

That is, he has to find the real culprit behind the scenes, otherwise he will definitely fail at this level. Once he fails and he goes back, it will be just like what he said in his old age. Once he goes back, it will be over and he will be completely lost in the world. The secret realm.

Therefore, he must go all the way north, and this way north does not simply mean going north, but allows Zhang Zhiwen to find the direction to the north, to find the answer, to find the result.

But something must be said here. Did Zhang Zhiwen feel that no matter what he did in this secret realm, he was immersed in it?

Does Zhang Zhiwen know this or not? Maybe he doesn't know, but even if he knows, there seems to be no way. Just like people living in the world, everyone knows that life is just a dream, playing the world, playing the world, this is what it means.

But which person in the world dares to say that he has seen through this world? Even if they say they see through it, how many people can face it calmly?

To give a very simple example, let’s talk about suicide. If you have seen through the world and feel that this world is nothing but illusion, then you don’t need to be afraid of suicide, right? But who dares to commit suicide? How many people have the courage to commit suicide?

Of course, suicide is definitely not a solution to the problem, and it is even extremely bad. We will talk about this later, because it involves cause and effect and karma.

To put it simply, even if you have the courage to commit suicide, you may not have seen the world clearly. Just cut your hand with a knife and ask if it hurts, right?

Hungry, sleepy, tired, tired, sick... just ask if they all exist?

To put it mildly, you can’t stand it even if you hold in your pee for too long?

That’s it, knowing that this world is false, who doesn’t feel it? Life or death, who can control it?

This is Zhang Zhiwen's current situation. Even if he knows that this world is a secret realm and is false, everything that happens here is real, at least to him.

Just like everyone in this world, for everyone, everything they hear, see, and hear in this world is not real?

But these are actually false. Everyone knows this, but you feel that this is really not an ordinary reality. It will hurt, be uncomfortable, and will die... Everyone knows that hanging yourself will lead to death, and no one doubts it. This thing?

So is this a lie or is it true?

Therefore, Zhang Zhiwen knows that this world is false and has recovered his memory, but at this moment he cannot escape from this world to look at problems and himself. This is the most powerful part of the false realm of the Dharma, unless you cultivate Reach Nascent Soul, otherwise you will not be able to break out of this framework.

When you reach the level of Nascent Soul, the Nascent Soul contains the soul and opens up a separate world. The monk is not immortal. He can commit suicide by hanging himself. Anyway, he cannot die unless he uses stronger power of Dharma or the power of great and small supernatural powers. Come and strike, otherwise the Nascent Soul will be immortal.

Only by being immortal can we be qualified to say that this world is false and can we find a way to break out of this framework. The principle is just like this. It seems very convoluted to say, but if you think about it carefully, it is actually not difficult to understand.

And Zhang Zhiwen is in such a situation. In fact, this situation is the same as anyone else in the world. Don't think that it is only in a special secret realm. On the other hand, has Zhang Zhiwen always been in the realm of Dharma along the way?

If so, then he has never stepped out of this framework, and what he was involved in was just a special secret realm, a special Dharma realm. This is an opportunity and a challenge.

If you can win, you have a chance to reach the realm of the Dharma, which is what you can expect from the Nascent Soul. If you lose, you have failed, and you will sink endlessly.

Sinking here is different from reincarnation. Samsara also involves cause and effect and the six paths. Sinking is simply falling into a false world and not being able to escape.

Everyone in the world is sinking and trapped in this false world. Unless they die, they cannot escape.

But monks are different. Once they reach the level of Nascent Soul, they can transcend. This is the origin of the saying of transcending life and death.

But there is still great power above the Dharma. There are thirty-three levels in the sky, one level higher than the other. Who knows, and who is lost?

Of course, this is an afterthought, let’s not mention it for now.

At this moment, the villagers did not want Zhang Zhiwen to be involved in this disaster, but Zhang Zhiwen could not leave. He was a Jindan monk, so he had a vague hunch that he must stay and find out the real culprit behind the scenes.

Otherwise, you will not be able to pass this level.

If he was a Nascent Soul cultivator, he would be able to break through all kinds of magic with all his strength, so why go to such trouble. Unfortunately, he is not a Nascent Soul cultivator. He is even far behind the Nascent Soul cultivator.

But how to break the situation now?

Zhang Zhiwen looked at his fourth uncle and his family who had hanged themselves. He turned back and looked at Lin Qingshu. At this time, Lin Qingshu seemed to have nothing to do, but when he saw Zhang Zhiwen, he still said: "Sir, how about we How about putting the person down first and then burying him, and then take a step-by-step approach to the next question?”

Obviously, since there is no solution for the time being, it is better to take one step at a time.
