Chapter 114: Skinning and Blood
The moment these illusions disappeared, even though I was reluctant to give up in my heart, I knew that what I should forget should be forgotten after all. Those are all in the past, and if I continue to indulge in the past, I will inevitably be as unable to extricate myself as Ge Caigen, and I will be trapped in this spiritual dream forever. By the way, Ge Caigen, the purpose of my trip is to rescue Ge Caigen, fortunately, I remembered my mission again, but the scene just now really made me have no ability to resist at all, that scene, that picture, is too real.
Especially when I saw the flower fairy again, I almost forgot everything, and there was only the flower fairy in my mind. Turning around, I couldn't help but turn my head and look at the empty hillside, I'm afraid that in this spiritual dream, it is the last time I and the flower fairy will meet for eternity, although it is just an illusion, although it is not true, but I am already content.
After collecting my mood, I hit the road again.
In front of me is a low grove, these small trees seem to be exactly the same as the kind of trees I imagined, short and fat, with fat branches and leaves, walking in the middle, like walking into a delicate forest garden, I shook my head and smiled, Li Ergou, you must not be blinded by your own attachment anymore...... When I came, Master repeatedly warned me that these were illusions, these were false, and I was in a dream.
Everything that appears in the dream is imagined in the mind, and what you want, you can have, which is also the test of people's obsession in the spiritual dream. If you are addicted to this place and can't extricate yourself, you will be trapped here forever, and there will be no escape!
After passing through the forest garden, there was a road in front of me, this road seemed to be very familiar, I thought about it, raised my head suddenly, and ran over quickly, not far away, sure enough, it was my hometown after a long absence, a familiar house, as if nothing had changed. This, this is where I grew up, I didn't care about these, I ran to the door of the house quickly, but when I saw that the courtyard door was open, I only felt that my heart was beating wildly, and I didn't know if I could see the person I missed day and night in the next moment...... Grandfather!
"Grandpa! Grandfather! When I saw my grandfather sitting on the stone mill in the yard and tilting his head to smoke a dry tobacco pouch, I immediately ran to my grandfather in surprise and cried, "Grandpa! I miss you so much, I really miss you...... Woowoo woo ......"
Grandpa knocked on the cigarette stick in astonishment, and smiled kindly: "Ergou, haven't you been with grandpa all the time?" Why did you suddenly run back and cry? Is the chubby next door bullying you again? Grandpa said to his father! ”
Hearing grandpa's concerned voice, I smiled with tears in my eyes, shook my head and said, "Grandpa, Xiaopang didn't bully me, I just missed you too much, I really didn't expect me to see you again, grandpa, don't leave me, okay?" If you're gone, I don't really know how a person can live, woo woo woo ......"
"Silly boy!" Grandpa patted me on the shoulder and said with a smile, "What nonsense are you talking about?" Grandpa is fine, where are you going? Ergou, you don't match the preface, you're about to confuse grandpa, okay, don't talk about it, grandpa told you that grandpa brought back a big game last night, and he didn't care about peeling it, just waiting for you to see a rarity before starting. Let's go, take a look with grandpa! ”
Seeing that Grandpa was so happy, I hurriedly asked in astonishment, "Grandpa, are you going to catch a big tiger?" ”
"Haha......" Grandpa laughed loudly and said: "Ergou, when you were young, you thought that grandpa would kill a tiger one day and bring it back for you to see, no, you see, grandpa fulfilled your wish, it is a white-fronted tiger, fierce, but it is dead." Hurry up and get over the addiction, grandpa is going to peel the tiger skin soon, peel off the tiger skin, grandpa will make a tiger skin jacket for you, okay? Winters are sure to be warm! ”
I looked at it, it was not a big tiger, grandpa was really good, he could still beat a tiger at such an old age. But when I saw that my grandfather let me take a look, he picked up the boning knife and came to the white-fronted tiger, and said casually: "This tiger has just died, and it still has some body temperature, and it is much easier to peel the skin!" As he spoke, Grandpa swung his boning knife and slapped it a few times on the hind leg bone of the white-fronted tiger, and then turned around and began to cut from the neck.
After a while, I saw a bloody tiger skin peeled off by my grandfather, and for some reason, my heart trembled, especially when I saw the tiger's eyes, which became blood-red, and seemed to be staring at me. I was startled, and just wanted to exit the door, but at this moment, I saw my grandfather raise his arm and put a complete tiger skin with flesh and blood in front of my eyes, and then said with a smile: "Ergou, take the tiger skin, and make you a tiger skin jacket!" ”
"No, no......" I looked at the bloody tiger skin, and suddenly trembled with fright, and took a few steps back, but grandpa walked towards me step by step with the tiger skin, I couldn't help but retreat again, and said in a trembling voice: "Grandpa, you should stop hunting in the future, these animals also have spirituality, and it is not good to kill too much......"
"What?!" When my grandfather heard this, his face changed suddenly, and he came to me with a tiger skin and said angrily: "You stinky boy, isn't grandpa hunting, skinning and selling money to support you?" You actually said that grandpa's is not, holding a tiger skin! ”
I looked at the bloody tiger skin again, and couldn't help but retreat again and again, but at this moment, grandpa put the tiger skin on my body, and then I saw grandpa grinning, that smile seemed so terrifying, and the tiger skin on my body was still dripping blood, I shook off the tiger skin in horror, and exclaimed loudly: "I don't want tiger skin!" I don't want tiger skins! Grandpa, don't give me these bloody things anymore, I beg you......"
But grandpa didn't seem to hear my words at all, but smiled and picked up the boning knife and said to me: "Ergou, grandpa is old, I'm afraid I won't have the strength to hunt in the future, grandpa knows that you don't like hunting, but grandpa can hand over the ability to peel to you, and when grandpa dies, you can make a living from it, come, there is a goat in the house, grandpa teaches you to peel the skin!" ”
"Huh?" I looked in amazement at the inside of the skinned tiger, there was a goat lying on it, I hurriedly waved my hands and shouted: "Grandpa, I, I don't learn the ability to peel skins, I don't learn, don't force me, I will never learn that ......"
At this moment, I seemed to see the goat's eyes, staring at me mournfully, and I shuddered, and turned abruptly, not daring to look any further. At this moment, I suddenly glanced at the mountain range behind me, and I remembered...... I remember that there are no tigers on the back mountain at all, as if my grandfather also said that there are only some small animals in the back mountain, as for those wolves, insects, tigers and leopards there are no at all, so ...... So why was Grandpa able to catch a tiger?
Wrong! This, this is my childhood memory, these are all jokes I used to tell my grandfather, and they have all come true! Looking back, there were still some skinned tigers in the house, and the tiger skins in the yard were gone, and at this moment, I found that my grandfather was still skinning the goat. Seeing this, I slapped my head and shouted, "You, you're not my grandfather!" You, you're just my memory, you're just my obsession, my grandfather is dead, he's dead! ”
Hearing my words, my grandfather stood up slowly, he looked at me in astonishment, and said, "Ergou, what stupid thing are you talking about?" I'm your grandfather! How could Grandpa still have a fake? ”
"You are my grandfather, but you are just the grandfather in my memory, you are not a real person, you are just a phantom conjured up by my obsession!" I gritted my teeth, waved my hand and picked up the whisker whip, my fingers trembled, my nose was sore, and I choked up: "Grandpa, I'm sorry, I know you won't come back, now you are my illusion, I must break the illusion in front of me, otherwise I can't go out again, I'm sorry......"
"Smack!"
A deafening whipping sound was suddenly hit by me, and as soon as this sound came out, I saw that the surrounding houses and courtyards all collapsed in a trance, and my grandfather fell inexplicably in a pool of blood, stretched out his hand and shouted to me: "Two dogs!" Two Dogs......"
"Grandpa!" I hurriedly wanted to rush forward, but before I could run to my grandfather, I saw that the ground under my eyes had cracked and collapsed, and I watched my grandfather fall into the dark abyss with those collapsed mansions. I hurriedly swung the whisker whip and threw it at my grandfather, but where the whisker whip passed, it was a void, and I couldn't reach my grandfather's figure at all, my legs were weak, I sat on the edge of the cliff, and shouted loudly to the abyss: "Grandpa! Grandfather...... You don't want to go...... Don't leave me...... Woowoo woo ......"
A hint of cool breeze blew, and I suddenly raised my head, only to see that I had appeared in the same place at this moment, in the place where I had just come to the spiritual dream, which was a fairyland-like mountaintop, surrounded by white mist, curling back and forth, as if dreamy. I was stunned, and looked around, there was no grandfather, no flower fairy, here, nothing here, I stood up in shock, and secretly said that it was not good, and the repeated hallucinations almost lost me here, and Ge Caigen was still waiting for me to save it, alas, Li Ergou, Li Ergou, and said that you have no obsession, in fact, your obsession is deeper than other people's obsessions!
But fortunately, I was able to see through the illusion at the critical moment, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable.
I settled down, looked up and glanced at the sky, only to see a touch of green and yellow gas rising in the sky in front of me, I immediately understood that the green gas is where the birth gate is located, and the yellow gas is the awakening lamp lit by the master, which is to remind me that everything here is an illusion and a dream! I waved my hand and whiskered out the whisker whip, and flew in the opposite direction, since the Shengmen is directly ahead, that is to say, Ge Caigen must be in the opposite direction, as long as I look in the opposite direction, I will definitely be able to find Ge Caigen!
