I'm wandering in the world

Chapter 65: No Reincarnation in the World

The cold wind blew through the sleeves of both men. Chen Qingyuan didn't speak, and Chu Renmei didn't speak either.

a long time.

Chen Qingyuan said: "If you can tell me more about Chu Renmei, then I am willing to sing this opera of 'Zhuangzi Testing His Wife' with you."

Chu Renmei was slightly stunned. She didn't expect that the young man in front of her actually wanted to know about her. She was a little curious about the reason and nodded and said, "I don't know much, but I will try my best to tell you."

Chen Qingyuan smiled and made a gesture: "Do you want to play opposite roles or do you want to play each male and female separately?"

Chu Renmei remembered that she was supposed to play the role of Zhuangzi in the play of testing his wife, so she said, "Let's play the roles of a man and a woman..."

There were no drums, gongs or suonas on the barren mountain. Chu Renmei adjusted her throat and began to sing Zhuangzi's play, seeking immortality and returning. The expression on her face perfectly portrayed Zhuangzi's excitement when seeking immortality and his frustration when failing to become an immortal.

Fortunately, Chen Qingyuan was able to keep up with the rhythm. He played the role of the widow who slapped the grave, and then played the role of Zhuangzi's wife. His performance of the hatred for getting married, regret, and fear was not bad at all.

The play is not long.

As the last word fell...

The drama of Zhuangzi testing his wife ends.

Chu Renmei saw Chen Qingyuan's ability and admired his talent. She walked to a rock and sat down, looking at the excavator at the construction site below the mountain, and said quietly: "I will try my best to answer your questions about Chu Renmei. Just ask whatever you want to ask..."

Chen Qingyuan did not refuse, he came here for this very reason.

Chu Renmei massacred 66 people that year. The villagers of Huangshan Village were already frightened. Those who were able-bodied had already fled, leaving only the elderly, the weak and the disabled who could not leave. Now that times have changed, the only person who knows the story of Chu Renmei is Li Qiang.

Chen Qingyuan said, "Is it true that Pu Wantian fell in love with the daughter of the bank owner and framed his wife Chu Renmei to death?"

When Chu Renmei heard this question, she slightly grasped her pants with her hands on her knees and said, "Really."

“Is it true that Chu Renmei killed 66 villagers?”

"Actually killed 67 people."

“Are there any innocent people among them?”

"There are 67 people, including Park Wantian, the thugs in the village and their men. The rest are the village chief who advocated protecting Park Wantian's reputation, and those who used stones to... smashed Chu Renmei to death. Are there any innocent people? Ha, the whole village is defending that beast Park Wantian. Except for the children, who can be an innocent exception?"

When Chu Renmei answered, she thought of what happened in the past. She subconsciously became angry and resentful.

She herself did not realize that there were some things that only Chu Renmei herself could answer, and she was now speaking as the "descendant of Chu Renmei's maternal family."

Chen Qingyuan continued to ask: "Besides these 67 people, did they kill other people later?"

Chu Renmei shook her head and said, "Chu Renmei was very resentful at the time, and after killing 66 people, she felt a little relieved. In addition, a child named Li Qiang came to plead with the peace bracelet she gave him before her death, asking him to 'not kill anymore'. Chu Renmei gave up the impulse to massacre the whole village and spared Huangshan Village...

The villagers buried her remains on this barren mountain, and even set up a memorial tablet in the ancestral hall, praying that Chu Renmei could rest in peace soon..."

Chen Qingyuan listened to Chu Renmei telling her story. This feeling was a little subtle...

He said, "I heard that relatives can feel each other's feelings. I wonder if Chu Renmei has passed away?"

Chu Renmei smiled sadly and said, "Only after death will one know that there is no such thing as reincarnation in the underworld. Only the dead souls continue to wander in the world of the living and suffer until they have exhausted themselves and turned into ashes. Only then can they be considered truly dead..."

Chen Qingyuan was shocked.

What is this new setting?

But think about it carefully, in this drama "Mountain Village Old Corpse", whether it is Chu Renmei or ordinary villager ghosts, they can appear at will during the day...

He raised his head to ask again, but his eyes fell on Chu Renmei, and he felt cold all over: "You..."

On the rock, the woman with long braids and floral clothes had disappeared, and in her place appeared a woman with long hair covering her face and wearing a dark blue gown.

There is a lot of yin energy.

Evil winds are blowing.

Chen Qingyuan didn't understand why Chu Renmei wanted to change back into the appearance of a fierce ghost.

He cooperated very well and sat on the ground, with a look of "horror" on his face, and said: "You, you you, Xiaodie, you are not a human..."

Chu Renmei sighed quietly. She did not reveal the terrifying face under her hair. Her sweet and clear voice became a little dull. She said, "I am Chu Renmei... You came here specifically to find me. In the past, you were also the most supportive spectator of mine. After thinking it over again and again, I think it is reasonable for me to see your true face."

Chen Qingyuan was a little speechless. Why don’t you say something? This outfit almost became a shadow of middle age.

He "forced" himself to stand up, and said in a trembling voice: "You, are you really Chu Renmei herself?"

Chu Renmei really had no way to prove it, so she smiled and said, "Could it be that I knew you were coming, so I went to kill someone specifically?"

Chen Qingyuan seemed to have come to his senses and was no longer afraid. He walked quickly to her and said excitedly, "So there really are ghosts in this world. I'm very happy to see you, a famous Cantonese opera star, again, but I'm also very sad that you haven't passed away yet. Do you have an unfulfilled wish?"

Seeing Chen Qingyuan accept the existence of ghosts so quickly, Chu Renmei secretly sighed at his thick nerves and said, "I was killed by Pu Wantian, and he died at my hands. The village chief and the villagers who attacked me also died. If I have to say that I have any unfulfilled wish, it is that I didn't have the time to participate in Mr. Li's movie before I died."

She thought of the drama they had just sung and said, "This wish has just been fulfilled."

Chen Qingyuan suddenly realized and said, "Is it because the feng shui of the tomb is not right that I can't be reborn?"

Chu Renmei answered patiently: "As I said just now, there is no such thing as the underworld or the Black and White Impermanence in this world, let alone the so-called reincarnation. In short... I didn't see any ghost messenger.

Some of the villagers I killed had their souls dispersed as soon as they died, while others had grievances in their hearts, relying on these grievances to support their souls to wander in the world... Perhaps people are indeed clean, created out of nothing, and after death, their bodies return to the earth, and their souls return to nothingness again...

I have long been tired of the days of wandering. I want to be reborn but there is no way to go. I want to die but I cannot. All kinds of troubles breed resentment in my heart. Sometimes I lose consciousness, as if I am drunk. If no one wakes me up, I will probably follow the resentment in my heart and do something irreversible..."

Chen Qingyuan immediately said, "I have traveled all over the country and occasionally saw some Taoists and monks performing rituals and chanting sutras to liberate the dead. Why don't I invite someone to perform a ritual? Maybe it can help resolve the resentment and free me from worries. Maybe I can really see the path of reincarnation?"
