Sky-swallowing coffin?
Is this coffin called the Sky-Swallowing Coffin? Isn't this name a bit too domineering?
But it's right to think about it. For such a big coffin, if it doesn't have a more domineering name, it won't be able to show its strong character.
As for why my grandfather opened the coffin repeatedly, I think, as he said, he wanted to determine whether I was still myself.
Because my class teacher only has a trace of Peng Yao's remnant soul in his body, but he was affected to be like that, and it is said that I have a complete soul in my body. Moreover, this soul is extremely good at hiding itself. If it is not a matter of life and death, it usually will not show up.
Just like this time, I jumped into the well to commit suicide. As long as I die in the Dragon Well, the soul hidden in my body will also be trapped in the Dragon Well. Coupled with the function of Suolongjing in suppressing all evil spirits, it will be scattered, and it will still be unable to escape even a strand.
When it comes to its life and death moment, it will definitely not sit still and wait for death, so logically speaking, if I am not me, or it has awakened in my body, its first reaction should be to try its best to make my body float. Get out of the water to breathe.
And it was injured by Zhang Hazi five years ago, and it may not have recovered yet. Even if it knew that I wanted to die, it couldn't stop me. So my grandfather deliberately stirred up the undercurrent and helped it.
If it uses this power to bring me to the surface, it means that it has awakened and, to some extent, can control some of my actions. Although I may not be completely black yet, this is already a precursor to blackening.
That's why my grandfather would open coffins repeatedly to prevent me from becoming me again, to prove that I just wanted to die. As long as I don't look back and keep descending, it is enough to prove that I am still myself from head to toe and have not been affected by that soul in any way.
However, even if it proves that I am still me, what is the use? I am already dead, otherwise I would not see you. As for you saying that you came here this time to return what belongs to me, to be honest, I didn't believe it from the beginning.
After all, for me, I have nothing for a long time. Where is there anything else that belongs to me?
My grandfather laughed and scolded me when he heard this, saying, "You bastard, why don't you believe your grandfather?" I'm even willing to wait for a hundred years. Do you think I'm kidding you?
To be honest, I don't care what you want to give me. People are dead anyway, so it won't be of much use to me if you give it to me. What I'm more concerned about is, why did you originally plan to wait a hundred years? Could it be that I could have survived until that time?
My grandpa said, I thought that Zhang Hazi and his friends could protect you for a hundred years with their abilities, but I would throw you into this well when I really couldn't stand it any longer. Unexpectedly, the old immortal Peng Yao and Ha Liu made a Xie Chuan plan, which was ninety-five years ahead of schedule.
I saw a rare look of loss on my grandfather’s wrinkled face, which did not exist in my mind. Because in the village before, even if my grandfather was insulted, he would always smile, as if he didn't know what sorrow was in this world.
It can be seen that he, who has no plans left, really did not calculate the foreshadowing of Xie Chuanji, so he has such a look on his face.
When I saw this, I quickly comforted him and said, Gods all take naps at some time, who can guarantee that he will never miscalculate the time in his life? Grandpa, you have done a good job, but your grandson is the one who failed to live up to his expectations and was unable to deal with Xie Chuanji.
When my grandfather heard this, a smile appeared on his disappointed face, and he said, I have never taught you craftsmanship since you were a child. How could you possibly be his opponent? But fortunately, you have been kind-hearted since you were a child, so this matter may have a chance.
I was immediately confused. Didn't this matter end when I jumped into the well and committed suicide? How could there be a glimmer of hope? Also, even if there is a glimmer of hope, what does this have to do with whether I am kind or not?
My grandfather said, if you are not kind-hearted, or are greedy for life and afraid of death, will you jump into a well?
Of course it won't. After all, everyone only has one life, and everyone wants to live a long life. But if I don't jump, I will become the carrier of Peng Yao's resurrection and eternal life, and hundreds of thousands of innocent people will die. And the most important thing is that Zhang Hazi and the others may die as a result.
My grandpa said that if it had been anyone else, Ha Zi might have struggled a bit, leaving Zhang Ha Zi to think of a way and procrastinating for time. If he couldn't talk about it, he would have thought of other solutions. Why don't you do this?
I shook my head and said, the risk is too great. I can't guarantee that I can not sleep and make assumptions when I am extremely tired.
After all, I was extremely sleepy, and what I was thinking about the most was, if only there was a bed here so I could have a good night's sleep - and this is an assumption. As long as I make this assumption, I will fall. A dream of Huangliang entering Xie Chuan's plan.
The risk is too great, it would be better to end my life as soon as possible when I can ensure that I don't sleep and don't make assumptions.
When my grandfather heard this, he smiled and said, isn't this just a sign of your kindness? You have been willing to consider others since you were a child. When you picked up an apple on the way to school, you obviously love to eat apples, but you have been able to endure it and keep it until after school and bring it to me to eat. This is why you are better than others. All places must be strong.
I remember this incident. It happened when I was in elementary school. If my grandfather hadn’t mentioned it, I would have forgotten it.
He continued, if you didn't have this kind of character, you wouldn't be the first to jump out of the abyss in Zhangjiacun, and you wouldn't get that huge benefit. Until now, naturally there is no chance of survival.
I didn't understand. Everything was over and I was dead. Where could there be a glimmer of hope?
My grandfather patted my head and said with a smile, you bastard, have you forgotten where this is? This is Suolongjing! If you die, do you think your soul will be able to talk to me for a long time?
I was startled when I heard this, it seemed like this was really the case. This locked dragon well only allows my body, which is neither human nor ghost, to come close, but it will still suppress my soul. Besides, there is still a soul of Peng Yao in my body. Locking Longjing was able to disperse his soul, and now I can naturally disperse it again, but why didn't anything happen?
The only explanation is that I am indeed not dead yet.
But how is this possible? If I hadn't died, how could I breathe and speak freely at the bottom of a well filled with ice water?
My grandfather smiled and asked me, do you really think we are under a well?
I looked around and at the long-lost well entrance above my head, and asked my grandfather, what else?
He took a cattail leaf fan and swept around, asking me, what do you think this place looks like?
I almost didn't think about it, so I just said that it was endless and vast, and I didn't know how big it was. It really didn't look like the bottom of a well, but more like it was at the bottom of the sea. But inside the land, there may be a sea. No matter how big it is, it can only be called a lake, so this place is like a lake underground.
After hearing what I said, my grandfather smiled proudly and said, if you can think of this, it means that it is you who dropped the thing, and it can't escape even if you squeal. You are right, you and I are indeed not at the bottom of a well now, but in your "heart lake".
