what the hell is

The experiences I am going to write down, you may say nonsense after reading them, but please be patient and continue reading, because these are real events that happened in my life.I write all this with a shuddering heart. For an ordinary person, all this has completely surpassed the cognitive and psychological capacity.

Before writing, let me ask you a question, are you afraid of death?

Many people would say, of course they are afraid that when they die, there will be nothing left, all the wealth, power, family, friends, etc. they have in this life will disappear with them.Someone made an analogy, life is like taking a bus.When you are born, you get on the car, and when you die, you get off the car. No one knows what getting off the car looks like, but the only thing that is certain is that everything on the car has nothing to do with you anymore.

The more important reason for many people to fear death is the unknown. What does the dead world look like?No one knows what kind of existence I am—because everyone who knows is dead.

Throughout the ages, almost all the great and noteworthy works of art are related to death. Death is always an obsession and obsession of the living, and a never-tiring topic. It can go hand in hand with love.

What I'm going to say next is related to a kind of person.To divide this kind of people is not so much an ability as a profession.

I can't define their profession specifically for this kind of people, magic stick?witch?Charlatan?wizard?

Let's talk about their abilities, they can understand life and death, and cross the worlds of yin and yang.

Let me talk about a mysterious person first. He is a friend of my friend's friend. In short, there are many layers of relationships.It is also a kind of fate that I can sit and chat with him.He opened a small foreign trade company. It seems that by virtue of his relationship, he was able to resell some products at home and abroad. He has accumulated a certain amount of wealth and is considered a middle class.

When I saw him for the first time, he was watering flowers in the office.

The office is very large, with floor-to-ceiling windows facing the street, and many flowers are placed, making it look spacious, bright, bright and moving.However, such a large office seemed extremely empty, with only a huge boss desk in the middle and a large pot of money tree next to it.

Seeing us coming, he asked his secretary to move in two chairs, and said apologetically, "My office seldom receives outsiders, they always go to the reception room. You are not outsiders when you come here, let's talk here."

I was seduced by a friend that day.My friend's name is very vulgar, Li Damin, and he got in touch with this mysterious person through many connections.I didn't want to come, but Li Damin's words attracted me. He said: "This man died once, and went to the underworld."

I am particularly keen on strange things, and I am very curious.Li Damin's words completely hooked me.Li Damin is a good friend of mine. His enthusiasm in this area is more fanatical than anyone I have ever met. He is not superficial to see something new, but really put in effort to find information and parties to verify and research. His enthusiasm is absolutely amazing. Be professional.

Li Damin and I came to the company of this mysterious man.

He handed us the cigarette first, and we politely waved our hands to say no, he calmly lit it himself, then leaned on the boss chair, and took a long puff of smoke.Before we could ask any questions, he said first: "Your reasons for coming have been clearly stated on the phone, so let me ask you first, what do you know about me?"

Li Damin is the speaker, I am the guest, everything depends on him.Li Damin said: "Brother Peng, then we have something to say, I heard that you once... um, walked by once?"

The word "death" is very taboo here, and we always use "gone" instead.

Brother Peng nodded: "That's right. Three years ago, I had a heart attack. According to the hospital's diagnosis at that time, I was already dead."

"Then you went to the underworld?" I couldn't help asking out of curiosity.

"It should be...forget it." His eyes were a little confused.

"Can you tell us more about it?" Li Damin turned on the recorder.

Brother Peng took a deep breath: "You were introduced by acquaintances. To be honest, I am very reluctant to talk about that period of the past. At that time, after I returned from the underworld and came back from the dead, I often regarded the experience of going to the underworld as a Strange things are said everywhere, just like Mrs. Xianglin, hehe. Later, more and more people came to me and asked repeatedly. Slowly, I got very tired and felt like a monkey in a zoo, stripped naked Let people exhibit. These people have various purposes, some are questioning, some are curious, and some are even weirder. I hope I can go to the underworld again and help them find their dead relatives and friends.”

Li Damin and I looked at each other, and Li Damin said: "Brother Peng, we are not here to question anything. We are particularly interested in the underworld after death, and want to do in-depth understanding and research, so we found you."

"What are you doing studying that thing?" Brother Peng shook his head: "Young people, you really don't know what to do. Well, since I promised to let you come, I won't break my word."

He opened up the chatterbox.

Brother Peng was 51 years old three years ago. His business is on a normal track, his family is harmonious and beautiful, his wife is virtuous and his son is filial. Compared with ordinary people, his life is perfect.His only thought is to take good care of his body. Only when he is healthy can he enjoy everything in the moment.

Brother Peng joined an organization of winter travel enthusiasts around the age of 45.They start swimming in autumn and can swim until the spring of the next year.Friends who may have experience in winter swimming know that winter swimming does not mean simply warming up in winter, and just jump into the water and start swimming.Generally, those who engage in winter swimming start swimming in autumn when the water temperature is slightly cooler, so that the body has a process of gradually adapting to the water, so that the body will not be subjected to huge stimulation when entering the water when it is frozen for thousands of miles in the twelfth lunar month.

Big brother Peng has been swimming like this for several years, and he feels that the more he swims, the better he is, until one time, an emergency happened, which made him panic.

It was a cold winter, and he was swimming in the sea with his friends from the winter tour team when he suddenly felt a pain in his left leg and calf, and he immediately realized that it was a cramp.For a senior swimmer, cramping is very common, and there is no need to make a fuss. When encountering this kind of situation, the first thing to do is to stay calm.

Because it was a trivial matter, Big Brother Peng didn't tell anyone else, so he swam slowly to the shore by himself.At this time, don't be nervous, the more you relax, the greater the buoyancy of your body will be.

When he saw the shore, Brother Peng suddenly felt a palpitation in his chest.

My heart beat faster, my whole heart seemed to be twisted, my chest was like a huge stone, and I couldn't breathe.Brother Peng paddled with one hand, and desperately moved his neck with the other, trying to break the thick membrane and let air enter his body.

The figures on the shore in front of him became more and more blurred. At this time, the water temperature was extremely low, and it was bitingly cold, and it went straight to the bone marrow along the meridians of his body.The pain is simply indescribable in words.

Fortunately, this terrible feeling comes and goes quickly. It is estimated that the time before and after is three or four seconds. But for Brother Peng, this few seconds is equivalent to a century. In his words, it is a fight at the gate of hell. roll.When he staggered to the shore, Brother Peng collapsed to the ground.At this time, the heartbeat returned to normal, and the breathing was smooth.The feeling of surviving after a catastrophe is unimaginable to those who have not experienced it.

This incident was a wake-up call and made him realize that there was likely to be a major problem with his body.Unbeknownst to his family, Brother Peng went to the city's central hospital for a full-body examination.It’s okay if you don’t check it. Once you check it, you will find that your heart arteries have a tendency to sclerosis. In the common saying, it is coronary heart disease.

He was stupid on the spot at that time, like a bolt from the blue.Coronary heart disease, these three words were like tarsal maggots biting into his heart, unable to break free.When he got the news, he could barely walk. After coming out of the hospital, he was prescribed a lot of medicine, and he dared not drive himself, so he took a taxi to go home.

When he got home, his wife and son didn't know what was going on with him at all. The family was harmonious and the laughter continued. Brother Peng forbears not to speak and resists silently when he is sick.

Later, he secretly consulted the doctor several times, and an experienced cardiologist told him that a large part of your disease was caused by winter swimming.Winter swimming is not suitable for everyone. Ice water is very irritating to the body, especially the pores, blood vessels and heart. Half of the heart patients we receive here are caused by winter swimming.

Brother Peng deceived himself and stopped winter swimming, thinking that the heart can heal itself.But as the disease was delayed, concealed, and aggravated, finally that day, he died.

It was October [-]th three years ago, and their whole family attended the wedding of a relative's child.The wedding scene was very lively, and all relatives and friends gathered together, drinking and toasting.Just as the bride and groom were toasting at the table, there was a loud "crash" and the whole table was overturned, followed by a woman howling hoarsely: "Old Peng, what's wrong with you?"

Brother Peng fell to the ground amidst the broken plates and dishes, motionless, his body was stiff, but his hands were still in the position before he passed out - clutching his chest tightly.

The wedding scene was in chaos, Brother Peng was sent to the nearest hospital by an emergency 1 ambulance.A large group of relatives and friends also rushed to the hospital. When they arrived at the hospital, they had already been pushed to the emergency room.There was a crowd of people standing in the corridor, all anxiously waiting.

Not long after, the doctor came out of the emergency room, and a large crowd of people cheered and surrounded him.The doctor shook his head: "We did our best, let's prepare for the funeral."

Before finishing a sentence, Mrs. Peng fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth, unconscious.

Speaking of this, Brother Peng was a little sad, and said to us: "Death is like a lamp going out. I don't care about it. It's nothing more than stretching my legs. But it's the biggest blow to your relatives and friends who love you. I look down on those who commit suicide now. People, because only extremely irresponsible people will choose to commit suicide to escape. You can die, but you are cheating a large group of people who love you."

"I won't talk about the trivial things. It's nothing more than doing funeral affairs, contacting the crematorium, buying a cemetery, ordering wreaths and so on. It's very dangerous here. You may not have experienced any life and death scenes when you are young. Our rules here are When a person dies, they can’t bury the body overnight. No matter how late it is, they have to contact the crematorium and store it in the freezer. Why is it so dangerous? I woke up when I was pushed into the freezer, and locked it in the freezer later. Da Luo Jinxian can't survive."

He squeezed the cigarette and knocked the ash into the ashtray.We were shocked and knew that the topic was coming.

According to Brother Peng's description, at the moment of death, there is no clear boundary between life and death, at least it is difficult for him to distinguish, because there is still a certain degree of consciousness at that time.

This consciousness is not very clear, like a dream, and everything you experience can be regarded as vivid, but you don’t have the right to control yourself, that is to say, where you go after what you experience, what you say doesn’t count.Whatever scene is provided for you somewhere, you go to that scene.

When he said this, Li Damin quietly wrote two words on the paper and handed it to me. I was stunned when I saw it. What he wrote was: soul.

The first thing Brother Peng saw was an old-fashioned freight elevator, and he stood at the entrance of the elevator.Exactly where this is, I don't know.He didn't think about whether he would get on the elevator or not, so he walked up naturally.The elevator door is closed, the red light is on, and the elevator can feel the elevator descending slowly.

He was very peaceful, without any restlessness, without distracting thoughts, and his body was light and light, without the usual drag and heaviness, as if he had returned to a healthy baby.No desire, no thoughts, neither arrogance nor impetuosity, drifting with the flow, not to mention really a bit like a Buddha.

It took a long time for the elevator to descend, or in other words, he had no concept of time at all at the time, and when he woke up and recalled it, he vaguely felt that it might have been a long time.

After an unknown amount of time, the elevator stopped and the metal door slowly opened.
