Chapter 233: The choice of life and death
The choice of life and death is one of the most difficult multiple-choice questions in life.
But the Chang Hunter in front of me, oh no, it is Captain Chang, but the problem he gave me is several times more difficult.
If you want to die, how can you die, and if you want to live, how can you live.
Look at this question, look at the world, who has heard of it?
Anyway, I have never heard of it, and this is not a question that humans can ask at all!
It’s so simple to want to die. When it comes to suicide, there are probably thousands or tens of thousands of ways to kill people in the world, but this is a huge difficulty for Captain Chang, because no matter what method he uses, he will not die. He doesn’t use the functions of his physiological organs to maintain his life. Even if his body is rotten and only bones are left, he can’t die. This pain is really worse than death. How difficult is it to die?
It seems very simple to live. As long as you don’t die, you will be alive, but for him, it is also impossible. He doesn’t even have a heartbeat now. A transparent hole as big as a fist on his chest can basically be said to have nothing to do with humans. In this way, he is almost like a dead person.
If you don’t live or die, you will be half a lifetime and half a death, it will be difficult to live or die. This is the biggest confusion Captain Chang is currently facing.
But, what help can I give him?
I had thoughts in my mind, and he actually looked at me with anticipation. At this moment, he seemed to have forgotten the ban on trespassing the ancient tomb and no longer shouted for mercy. At this time, he was just a poor person, a person who had experienced thousands of years of disasters but was not alive. At this time, for him, the Jin Kingdom, the ancient tomb, the king, and the guardian were all nonsense. He just wanted to figure out whether he should be a living person or a dead person.
I sighed and said to him slowly, "I want me to tell you that you are a living person now, not only a living person, but you will continue to live in the future."
He widened his eyes and said, "Oh? Where did you say this? I'm obviously an old zombie who has been dead for thousands of years..." When he said this, he glanced at Mo Xiaobai and continued, "I'm even losing my heartbeat now, but why do you say, I'm a living person?"
I smiled and said, "You are wrong. The boundary between life and death is never standardized. Some people are alive, but they are dead in the eyes of others. Some people are dead, but they are always alive in the eyes of others. Life and death do not refer to the body, but the soul."
He stared at me blankly, and was stunned by the hearing. I said again: "The soul is immortal, and human beings are alive. If the soul is destroyed, that is the real death. Even if you don't have a physical body, your soul will always exist, and you are alive. You remember the past, the years, and everything that has passed away. What's more, you still have a physical body now, standing in front of us all the time. This is not a living person, so what is it?"
His eyes showed a confused look, and he was already confused by my words, and he murmured: "Can I just keep 'living' like this, but..."
I said, "Don't ask me this first, ask yourself first, do you want to protect this abandoned tomb forever for your king?"
He narrowed his eyes and said, "The king's order has lasted for thousands of years, but I have made a vow to protect it forever. Regardless of life and death, anyone who enters the ancient tomb will be killed without mercy..."
I suddenly became a little strange and asked, "I'm very curious. Which king is it, with such majesty, that you are willing to protect here for thousands of years."
Awe gradually appeared in his eyes, and looked at the empty stone chamber, and slowly said, "Do you know that a founding general of the Jin Dynasty, Wanyan Zongbi, had great military achievements and was powerful all over the world. He was named Marshal of the Capital and King of Yue. Everyone in the world called his fourth prince, also known as Wushu."
My eyes widened and my mouth widened in surprise. Wanyan Zongbi of the Jin Kingdom, Wushu, Jin Wushu? Let me go... Jin Wushu?!
When it comes to this Jin general, it seems that everyone knows it. Of course, when it comes to Wanyan Zongbi, few people may know it, but Jin Wushu is famous. Anyone who knows Yue Fei must know Jin Wushu. These two people can be said to be life-and-death enemies for life. I have often heard my grandfather tell the story of Yue Fei since I was a child.
However, it was beyond my expectations that Jin Wushu would build a tomb here, but it was normal, because at that time, the Song Dynasty had lost half of its territory, and this was the territory of the Great Jin Kingdom. In some folk sayings, there is indeed a legend about Jin Wushu's tomb in this area.
Everyone was surprised when the hunter told the identity of the tomb owner. He showed a hint of arrogant expression on his face, but then said sadly: "Although the guards in this tomb and I do not protect the marshal's tomb, but the passage of the underworld, the marshal's orders come out like a mountain, and we are willing to be ordered. It has only been a thousand years since we have been through the years. The brothers have been struggling to survive, and their souls are uneasy. I just hope that the brothers can get peace as soon as possible and their souls will enter the cycle of reincarnation as soon as possible. We will be able to hold on here for thousands of years. It is enough to be worthy of the promises and vows of that year."
After he said this, I finally understood his true purpose. Although the zombie warriors standing behind him were all expressionless and ferocious, they lowered their heads together. Obviously, in their remaining consciousness, they were also worried about this matter.
However, this matter is difficult to deal with. I looked around and saw that the passages of the stone chamber were filled with dense zombie warriors. If you think roughly, there were thousands of people. Although there were warriors and slaves, the desire for freedom and rebirth was just the same.
I frowned and lowered my head to think for a moment. Chang Hunter understood the meaning of the word. He wanted me to help them out of the labour of protecting the ancient tomb, to enter the cycle of reincarnation and gain a new life. After all, thousands of years have passed, and I couldn't help but sigh inwardly. It seems that no matter what kind of vow, it cannot withstand the invasion of time, and it will eventually change.
But this is a big problem. The project is too great to save so many thousand-year-old zombies. Besides, I only have one soul-saving needle to extradite my soul. Faced with so many zombies, I suddenly felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
I turned around and looked at each other with several others. They shrugged slightly, saying that they could not help. I actually had no hope. These people could fight and track them or something, and they could save their souls. That would be the job of Onmyoji.
When I thought of Onmyoji, I suddenly thought of Situ Yun, so my heart suddenly lit up and I hurriedly said to Chang Liewo, "I can help them, but I need to go back and think of a solution, because the project is too large and the difficulty is too high."
Chang Liehun raised his head and asked me how long it would take. I hesitated for a moment and didn't agree to his specific time because I was really unsure, but in the face of his expected gaze, I couldn't bear to let him down. Besides, we are surrounded by others at this moment and we have to get out.
So I told him that within seven days, I would definitely have news to him, and I promised in the name of the taboo master that I would take care of this matter to the end.
Chang Hunter then felt relieved, raised his head to the sky, sighed deeply, and told me that he would still wait for me in the hut in the mountains, but he did not want to see others again, because before I fulfilled my promise, he still had to pursue his responsibilities: those who entered the tomb without mercy...
Finally, the hunter stretched out his hand and waved his hand. The zombie warriors immediately retreated like a tide, but unlike the rumbling before, this time it was silent. I couldn't help but be surprised. It seemed that these people were well-trained and had a way to advance and retreat. They used to make sounds deliberately to shock us, but now the silent retreat is the real ability.
In a moment, the passage was clean and all the zombie warriors disappeared. The hunters often stood there alone, still pointing at one of the passages expressionlessly, saying to us: "Go out from here, every time you go to the stone chamber, go to the rightmost passage, and then you will see the gate of the ancient tomb."
I nodded heavily to him and said, "Since that's the case, we'll have a date later."
At that moment, without hesitation, we walked out of the passage he pointed to together. After turning out a few stone chambers, the gate of the tomb chamber appeared in front of us. Xiang Yu stepped forward and tilted the mechanism. The sound of mechanical swaying came from the gate. He smiled and said, "This is the portal where I came in. It seems that the captain of the guard did not lie to us."
The door slowly opened, and the sky shone in, and we couldn't help but smile like a different world.
It was already early morning outside. It seemed that we had been in this ancient tomb all night. Looking back, everyone was embarrassed and had some injuries. Even Nangong Feiyan was a little haggard and slightly messy. She looked at me and blinked, and smiled mischievously: "This time you took on a big business again, and thousands of zombies are waiting for you to rescue."
I smiled bitterly and said, "Stop making trouble, I just promised him to think of a solution for him. As for whether it works, I don't know."
Leng Qingyang suddenly said, "I have something to do, I'll leave first."
After he finished speaking, he ignored our reaction and left as soon as he said that. Mo Xiaobai shouted behind him, "Hey, don't rush to run away. The bet we made is not over yet. You won't catch that cat slave?"
Leng Qing raised her head and said without looking back: "Nonsense, the cat slave has been captured by you and is still making a big fucking bet, but I want to warn you that the cat slave will never be subdued so easily. Even if you destroy her soul, it will be even more difficult to save people."
When he said this, I remembered that the matter of the cat slave had not been resolved yet, and there was the magician...
Mo Xiaobai suddenly said next to him: "Cousin, I saw that magician just now."
I asked in surprise: "What did you say? Where did you see it?"
