Hiding the truth?
What's the secret?
The one who hides the truth from the truth?
Just because my grandfather wanted to hide the truth, he wanted to kill me and leave me to pieces?
Even though I didn’t know what concealment was, I still couldn’t help but tremble all over my body. Especially when I saw the frightened and inexplicable look on Mr. Wang's face, I knew that this matter must be more serious than I imagined.
Mr. Wang ignored me and sat down on the mountain road. The ax in his hand was no longer in his hand, but lying across his lap. The free hand subconsciously touched the cigarette, but the cigarette was rolled, but it was not lit. It was just put to the tip of the nose and smelled.
For a long time, Mr. Wang sat cross-legged like this, silent, with a complicated expression on his face that kept changing. But no matter what the changes are, shock and panic are inevitable.
This is the first time I have seen Mr. Wang like this. Ever since I met Mr. Wang, no matter what happens, he can deal with it tactfully and tactfully, as if he is the backbone and reliable. But this time, he seemed like a crushed camel that could never stand up again.
Seeing Mr. Wang's appearance, I, who was already at a loss, became even more panic-stricken now. Standing on this mountain road that neither ascends nor descends, looking at the pitch-black night, feeling the vague mountain wind blowing, something called despair quietly engulfed my whole body.
I followed Mr. Wang's example and sat down. Looking at the outline of the village at the foot of the mountain, I suddenly felt strange.
I have lived here since I was a child. The simplicity and kindness are my deepest impression of the village. I never imagined that there are so many unknown secrets hidden in this small village.
Moreover, my grandfather and Mr. Dojo are only on the surface, but secretly there are also the painters, barbers, etc. that Mr. Wang mentioned. I really can’t understand why these people flock to such a quiet place in our village. ?
Just because of my grandfather’s bullshit luck?
I really don’t know what’s so good about this thing and why everyone is fighting for it. If I had a choice, I would rather take nothing and let you take it if you want it. I just want the village to return to its former peaceful and peaceful appearance.
As for myself, it's best if I can live. It doesn't matter if I can't live. Anyway, my grandfather wants me to die, so there seems to be no point in living. But I just ask that no more people die in the village. I have no relatives, and I have no worries when I come and go, but they do.
The heartbreaking look of the Chen family’s sister-in-law and Chen Hui’s girl is still imprinted in my mind, and I’m afraid I’ll never forget it in my life.
After understanding this, I don't care if I die, I just hope that the village can be restored to its original state before I die. At least, Chen Guzi's body must be recovered and the situation of the Baili Corpse Monument should be broken.
So I waited for a while, and when I saw that Mr. Wang had no intention of getting up, I took the initiative to ask him, "Mr. Wang, should we go find Chen Guzi's body?"
Mr. Wang, who had been silent all the time, glanced at me first, and then finally sighed and told me, little baby, we're afraid we won't be able to find it.
His voice was very sad, as if he already knew the ending of the story - a mountain of corpses in a hundred miles radius!
But when these words fell on my ears, I was shocked. I hurriedly asked him, tell me, when I blew Chen Guzi's spiritual throne before, didn't you say you knew where Chen Guzi's body was?
Mr. Wang shook his head and said, I made a mistake. I always thought that this Baili Corpse Monument was created by your grandfather. In that case, I do know where Chen Guzi dropped the corpse. But I was wrong, I thought everything wrong. Your grandpa didn’t come up with this situation...
When I heard this, I was stunned.
Previously, Mr. Wang believed that the reason why I replaced the portrait of Chen Guzi was because he thought that a little kid like me, who didn’t even have hair, was incapable of building the Baili Corpse Monument. Didn’t that mean that the one who replaced the portrait People are capable, and was he the one who created the Baili Corpse Monument?
In addition, I later asked Mr. Wang if the person who replaced the portrait was saving people. Mr. Wang told me clearly, "What a bastard. If that guy was saving people, haha." Will there be such a thing as crying at the portrait? '
Are these two points alone not enough to prove that the Baili Corpse Monument was made by the person who replaced the portrait?
And Mr. Wang explained so much just now, excluding everyone else, wasn't it just to prove that the person who changed the portrait could only be my grandfather?
Therefore, the person who changed the portrait was the one who created the Baili Corpse Monument; and my grandfather was the person who replaced the portrait, so wasn’t my grandfather the mastermind behind the Baili Corpse Monument? Such a simple and clear logic, a three-year-old child can figure it out!
Why does Mr. Wang now say that he made a mistake?
Mr. Wang raised his head and glanced in the direction of the village, sighed heavily, and said, Alas... I should have thought of it earlier. Your grandfather's planning for more than fifty years cannot be simple. After all, I underestimated you. Grandpa is ambitious.
This is the second time I heard Mr. Wang say this. The last time he said this was when he was unpacking the coffin for me.
But didn’t it prove later that my grandfather just wanted to pass on his luck to me? Does he have other plans?
Mr. Wang nodded and said, I originally thought he just wanted to transfer his energy to you, but I didn't expect that he actually wanted you to...
At this point, Mr. Wang suddenly stopped, looked in the direction of the village, and sighed.
So, does my grandfather really have other plans?
But that’s not right. Didn’t Mr. Wang say before that my grandfather wants me to die? How could there be more plans? In the end, isn't it just a waste of effort?
Mr. Wang sighed, looked away, looked at me, and said, if you knew the art of "hiding the truth from the sky", you wouldn't think so.
Sure enough, it’s the one who hides the truth from the sky, but what does this mean?
Mr. Wang said that concealing the truth is a forbidden technique in the circle of craftsmen.
Forbidden magic?
Why is it forbidden?
Mr. Wang said, after you listen to me, you will know why it is a forbidden technique.
After finishing speaking, Mr. Wang reached out and slapped me on the shoulder again, using the same technique as before, from bottom to top.
After he finished, he continued, do you know why your grandfather wanted to drive you to pieces?
I shook my head. If I knew, wouldn't I be your craftsman?
Mr. Wang said, as mentioned before, your body has been buried, but your soul has not been processed, so you need to do a dojo to tell God that your soul has been transcended. In this way, you, as a person Are you going to die completely?
I nodded. In theory, this is indeed the case. After all, the body is buried and the soul is redeemed, isn’t that just a complete death?
Mr. Wang said, but there is a loophole in this, and you cannot always accept the luck passed down to you by your grandfather.
Let me tell you, what's the loophole?
Mr. Wang did not give the answer directly, but asked me, what will happen to the soul after death?
I thought about the myths and legends spoken by the older generation, which say that people will be lured by black and white to the underworld, drink Meng Po soup, and then be reincarnated.
Mr. Wang shook his head and said, there is no such thing as the underworld in this world, and there is no black and white, impermanent Meng Po Tang. They are all lies.
Let me tell you, the older generation says this, is it also false?
Mr. Wang said, does it mean that if everyone says this, it must be true? Now everyone in the village is saying that you replaced Chen Guzi’s portrait. Do you think it’s true?
Well, I'm speechless.
So I asked, if not to the underworld, then where to go?
Mr. Wang said that he would go to "Wu Jian".
