Ukiyo heave

In front of me is a barren mountain, with decayed trees and lifeless.

But it's not about being in it, but the scene seen through the window. The room is dark and full of resentment.An old coffin was stored in the middle of the room, exuding a gloomy and weird atmosphere.

As soon as Nian Shengsheng arrived here, he lost the joyful expression he had in Yuancheng, took Jiang Dongchen's hand solemnly, and said a little uneasy: "Brother."

Jiang Dong responded with a deep voice, and asked softly, "What kind of place is this?"

"Nian's house is next to the forbidden weapon room on the back mountain." Nian said in a hesitant voice, "Of the four tight weapon rooms in Nian's house, the most remote one."

Most of the forbidden weapons stored in the forbidden weapon room are attached with deep resentment or curse, no one dares to use them lightly, even dare not put them in the same place, this is of course human nature.Forbidden weapons, as the name suggests, are mostly someone who went mad, or lost control and carried out large-scale killings.There are layers of seals sealed on it, and they are placed separately, for fear that they will resonate.

Hearing the words, Jiang Dong was silent for a moment, and asked cautiously: "Are you here..."

Nian Butsheng's eyes were full of loneliness with nowhere to put him. He laid his hands on the old coffin and asked in a low voice, "Brother, do you know why the coffin is placed here?"

Jiang Dongshen didn't know, but Nian Shengsheng continued: "In the back mountain of the Nian family, there are tombs of generations of members of the Nian family. It will be repaired every five or seven years, and the old coffins will be taken out and replaced with new ones. , and select the four most resentful ones from the old coffins, and place them in the four forbidden rooms."

"Suppress the spirit with the spirit, and cure the grievance with the grievance?"

"Exactly, these years, the Nian family has put all their attention on the white moonlight. The forbidden room is fairly stable. The tomb of the Nian family has not been repaired for nearly ten years. Every old coffin was taken out and selected as the resentment coffin. At that time, the coffin must be sealed with a seal, and then carried here by the servants. This coffin is like this, and it has been here for nearly ten years."

Nian Quesheng suddenly smiled wryly, gently stroked the rotted lines on the coffin lid with a complicated expression, and said in a deep voice, "Brother, would you like to listen to me tell this story about... me?"

Jiang Dong stared at such a melancholy side face, his heart suddenly ached.

But Nian Sheng closed his eyes and opened his mouth: "About the time I was eight or nine years old, my talent had not yet appeared, and the Nian family only treated me with indifference and dislike, not the harshness and cruelty that followed. There are a few bullies, they see that I am not valued and have no parental protection, so they always use various methods to tease me, make fun of me, and take pleasure in it."

But Nian Sheng turned his head to look at Jiang Dongchen, his eyes helpless and sarcastic: "Can you imagine, brother, I am such a rebellious and frivolous person, before this happened, I was cowardly to death. They teased me, I Endure, beat me, I am still enduring. I even always have hope for Nian Jia, Nian Fengling, I am always silent and unknown, never cause trouble, and do not make any resistance to those bad behaviors. But After this happened, all my hopes were shattered."

"One day, I was reading in my room, and suddenly a few extremely domineering children of the Nian family kicked in. The leader was called Nian Yin, and Nian Yin said: 'Nian was promoted, I saw your mother in the back mountain, and you are still here What books are you reading? Come with us, we will take you, a motherless child, to find your mother.’”

"Of course I don't believe it. Many people told me that my mother gave birth to me and died in childbirth. That's how she died. I sat still, and at the same time, there was a little bit of hope in my heart. I just looked at them like that and asked: 'Really? of?'"

"They said it was true, but I still didn't believe it. Nian Yin got annoyed after going back and forth, and dragged me to the mausoleum in the back mountain with some disciples of the Nian family. They grinned at me and said, 'Go and see that. A coffin, is that your good mother in there?'”

"At that time, I was shocked and afraid. I was afraid that what they said was true, and I was afraid that what they said was not true. I have never seen my mother. There is a dharma realm in the tomb of Nian's family, which can make the body not rot. There was a glimmer of hope in my heart, so I walked through it half-believingly. At that time, I was shorter and thinner than my peers, and the coffin was extremely tall. I grabbed the edge of the coffin and stood on tiptoe, but I couldn’t see what was inside.”

Nian Quesheng seemed to be having trouble opening his mouth, but he really wanted to continue. Jiang Dong held his hand hurriedly, before he opened his mouth and said, "Nian Yin laughed and said, 'Why can't you reach it, kid? How about we Can someone help you?' I didn’t know there was a fraud, it was too late, and Nian Yin and those few people together... pushed me...together."

"It was an empty coffin, but I was so frightened that I beat the coffin hard to tell them to let me out, but they didn't. They put the lid on and ran away. The lid couldn't be opened from the inside, and my vision changed. At the moment when it was dark, my heart also collapsed."

"Later, two servants carried the empty coffin to the forbidden room. I was so thin that they didn't notice that there was another person inside. I didn't dare to pat the coffin and ask them to let me out, because I would be beaten when I came out. Yin and the others will definitely add fuel to the story and make up that I am playful and go there. It causes trouble to them, and what they bother most is the trouble I bring. I am only eight years old, and I don’t understand anything. I only know that I will be beaten and starved when I come out. , so I don’t even have the courage to ask someone to let me out.”

"The forbidden room is this one. I often hear the cries of lonely souls and wild ghosts. I lay in the coffin without daring to move, thinking a lot. I thought about why I had to live such an unfair life, thought about death, and Afraid of death, afraid that I will end up like my mother. Blame my mother for giving birth to me, and blame her for leaving me when I was born, otherwise I will be like any ordinary child in this world, at least Someone will love me."

But Nian Sheng lowered his head, a crystal tear slid down his cheek and landed on Jiang Dongchen's tightly held hand, he said: "But, no."

"After thinking about it, my mood gradually became calm. I heard the rustling wind outside through the coffin. I thought again, no, I can no longer accept my fate. If I can get out from here, I will make it difficult for everyone who hurt me .I kicked the coffin lid hard and tried every means, but I couldn’t get out, and no one came to rescue me. I was locked up in the coffin for a day, and later, it was Nian Queqing who brought people to look for me.”

"Nian Keqing was only six years old at that time, and Yu Chisu hadn't come to Nian's house yet. I haven't shown my talent yet, and I have a good relationship with him. I guess he found out that I was missing, so he went to tell his father, and he didn't care about me, so he just Bring a few servants to find me and let me out."

"Nian Queqing asked me: 'Brother, why are you lying here and not going back to your room?' I didn't say a word, and he followed me all the time. Later, I asked him to go back, but he refused. I had to lock him up first. In the house, go find Nian Yin alone."

"When Nian Yin saw me, he laughed sarcastically. He crossed his legs and said contemptuously: 'He came out so soon, there is a little bastard who was born without a mother, lying in a coffin for a day, isn't it fun?'"

"The people around him laughed, and I asked him: 'You and I have never had any grievances, why did you do such a despicable thing.' Nian Yin curled his lips and said in disdain: 'Seeing that you are unhappy, it's like teasing you.'"

"Nian Yin is just a disciple with a foreign surname who changed his surname to Nian. How can I say that he is related by blood. How can I tolerate him riding on my head again. So I used my spirit on the spot to fight those people. Before that, I never I haven't fought before, but none of them are my opponents. When I fought Xingfa, I just felt that they were in a mess in front of me. Some of them kept begging for mercy, but I didn't pay attention at all. Nian Yin raised a stone and threw it at me. Me, I dodged it. At that moment, I actually felt murderous."

"The spiritual power in my hands is gathering more and more, which illuminates a dusk, and my eyes are red. As an eight-year-old child, I only want to let these people die in front of me. They may see that my expression is too It was too scary, everyone was timid, and I couldn't help but backed up and wanted to escape. I was about to strike out this spiritual power, when suddenly someone shouted from behind: 'Bastard!'"

"I was startled, and the spiritual power in my hand went in the wrong direction and smashed a roof. This sound extinguished all the killing intent in my heart. I turned my head, and Nian Fengling's expression was surprised and angry, as if I had never seen it before." I generally yelled: 'What the fuck are you doing!'”

"At that time, I was still very afraid of Nian Fengling. When I heard the words, I quickly lowered my head and wanted to explain, but I couldn't say anything. Nian Fengling was so angry that he asked someone to lock me up in the warehouse on the top floor of Baiyue Temple. When I was less than nine years old, I was put into confinement for the first time."

"The day I stayed in the coffin made me terrified, and then I was thrown into a dark place, and I almost went crazy, but no one paid attention to it. At that time, I suddenly understood that it was nothing to be beaten and starved. The terrible thing is always mental torture. I was locked up for eleven days in such a turbulent environment."

"Later, I got used to confinement and retreat. Gradually, I no longer feared the dark, was no longer afraid of the Nian family's abuse, and no longer had any hope for the Nian family. Nian Keqing had Yuchisu, and my talent became more and more apparent. My relationship with him gradually deteriorated. But I was still alone."

"Everyone goes in and out in pairs, but I am alone. I was most afraid of waking up alone when I was a child, but I have always been like this since I was a child. I can't find the meaning of living, and I have no reason to die."

Nian Butsheng was still stroking the lines of the coffin, tracing the tears that fell on it, and said in a gloomy and dejected voice: "Occasionally I think about my mother, who has never met, whether she is gentle and kind, whether she is beautiful, whether she is in the When I was dying, I felt the slightest sadness for my orphan. I didn’t know it. She married into Nian’s family at the age of 16, and she never lived a happy life. Now I am 17 years old, and she is still 17 years old.”

But Nian Sheng looked at Jiang Dongshen, and tried to suppress the trembling in his voice: "Brother, this coffin has been here for ten years. This is the coffin that once imprisoned me. How cruel. This is my mother's coffin."

Jiang Dongshen's heart seemed to be hit hard by this sentence, and it hurt suddenly, and he subconsciously stretched out his arms to hug him, but he didn't know how to comfort him, he just said: "Don't cry."

But Nian Sheng nodded, biting his lips tightly, his breath trembling uncontrollably, Jiang Dongshen gently followed his back, and said warmly: "It's all over."

Nian Sheng still nodded, and after a long time, he continued, "Brother, everyone thinks that I am strong, so don't think that way. After all, I am a living person with flesh and blood. In a sense, I am still a child who has not yet grown up. My child. I am afraid of what others are afraid of, but I can’t express it like them. Brother, I am very self-aware, knowing that no one can tolerate my wayward thoughts, brother, only you.”

"So." Jiang Dongshen said, "I told you a long time ago that you used to be alone, but now you are not."

But Nian came out of Jiang Dong's arms, wiped away his tears and said, "If I'm not alone, then what am I?"

Jiang Dong whispered softly: "Stupid, you can't understand the meaning of this sentence?"

After finishing speaking, Jiang Dongshen said again: "I'm sorry, I didn't know that you had been wronged like this in the Nian family, and you were always forced to hide anything from me."

"Brother." Nian Sheng lowered his head, "In this world, there are too many people who are sorry to me, but my brother is not, so my brother should never say sorry to me."

Jiang Dongshen wanted to comfort him again, but he didn't know what to say.

At this moment, the third fold of the tri-fold door appeared.
