Chapter 128: That... Writing a novel is a dead end
Spring goes to autumn, time is like flowing water, and it has been 20 years since Lin Ran came to the west to travel the world.
In a courtyard somewhere in the Central Plains of Dongsheng Shenzhou, Lin Ran, who was close to 40 years old, was lying on the bed, looking at a woman lying beside him, and said softly.
"Madam, my husband already feels that the limit is coming, and I am afraid that I will leave you first."
My God, Lin Ran is actually married, what is the situation? You know, he's an absolute single dog, why?
What has happened in the past 20 years? He's an ordinary man now, and the end is approaching... It's going to hang... I'm going to die.
Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Oh, my God!!
Well, in fact, nothing has happened in the past 20 years, that is, after leaving the Pangu God, Lin Ran began to look for his own Dao and his path.
How to find? Of course, I was looking for it in the red dust.
Thereupon...... Looking for it, Lin Ran really found out his Dao method.
Begin to refine your mind in the mortal world.
Do you still remember the practice of big dreams and thousand autumns? It seems to be a dream.
And what was his previous state? Sleep, there is no such thing as sleeping.
If you don't sleep, how can you dream? Daydreaming?
He began to practice his heart in the red dust, and completely became an ordinary person... Need to eat, need to drink, need to rest! will be born, old, sick and die, downright ordinary people.
This is a full 20 years of being an ordinary person, and I also met a woman during this time.
Since it is an ordinary person, if you want to experience the various states of life in the world, then the emotional love between men and women naturally needs to be experienced, so there is now.
Of course, because of his special health, he will not have children of his own.
In this way, in 20 years he became an ordinary person, married... Live his laid-back little life.
He forgot about his cultivation, he forgot about the earth, and he forgot what he wanted to accomplish. Truly immersed in the lives of ordinary people.
This immersion is 20 years, and if it weren't for the feeling that his limit was approaching, he might still be immersed in the life of ordinary people.
At this point, the woman lying next to him shook her head and spoke softly as well.
"Husband, have you forgotten the vows we made when we walked together? If you leave, what right will I have to live alone? ”
Lin Ran couldn't help it... Reaching out and touching the other party's cheek, he asked softly.
"Do you believe that there is reincarnation in this world?"
The other man nodded.
"Believe!"
"Then you... Come back to me in the next life, okay? ”
What Lin Ran said should have been that he went to find someone, but now it has reversed.
The other party also nodded, and his body moved closer to Lin Ran.
Lin Ran also reached out to hug the other party, then closed his eyes, his breathing gradually became slow, and his consciousness also fell into darkness.
"Wang!"
Suddenly, a dog barked and woke him out of his stupor.
When I opened my eyes and saw what was in front of me, I found that I had appeared in a dark and deep ancient road.
Looking up at the sky, it was gray and there was no sun.
looked down at Xiaobai under his feet and muttered to himself.
"Is this coming to the underworld? Oh, I didn't expect that I, a foreign invader, would also go to the underworld after I died. I just don't know if there is a reincarnation that belongs to me. ”
After speaking, he followed the guidance in his heart and walked forward along this ancient road.
After walking for a while, the scene in front of me suddenly changed and became brighter.
It's the same road, but there are many more people on the road besides me.
Not only people, but also many animals, goblins, and ghosts.
The road is wide, and the bewitching flowers bloom on both sides of the road.
I remembered the legendary flowers that only exist on both sides of Huangquan Road in the underworld... The flowers on the other side are so similar.
He bent down to pick one, but heard a ghost next to him warn him.
"Little brother, this flower on the other side is the flower of the Netherworld that blooms on Huangquan Road, and ordinary ghosts such as us must not touch the flower, otherwise it will be absorbed into nourishment."
Lin Ran looked up at the ghost who reminded him of his words, and found that he was about the same age as himself, only in his 40s.
smiled at each other and nodded, although he was special, but it was hard to guarantee that something unexpected would happen.
So I didn't have the idea of picking a flower to see, so I got up and continued to walk forward.
The ghost reminded you that after a sentence, he also stopped talking, everyone is a ghost on this Huangquan Road, and it is already very good to kindly remind you, what do you want to chat, it is simply impossible.
There may be time in the underworld, but there is no sun, no clock, and no way to determine how long time has passed.
It's kind of like a white space, for a long, long time... Or maybe it's a moment.
Finally at this moment, Lin Ran walked out of this Huangquan Road with the ghost army.
Suddenly the eyes opened up, and I found that there was an endless river in front of me.
As for the fact that everything is already endless, why is it still a river? Have you heard of the Wangchuan River?
The river was blood-yellow, and there were many ghosts struggling upwards to break free from the Lethe River, but none of them were able to do so.
But whoever falls into the Lethe River does not seem to be able to come out again.
With the appearance of Lin Ran and them, a golden avenue also crossed the entire Lechuan River.
This Cotai Boulevard seems to be made of virtuality, but it seems to have a physical one.
Lin Ran couldn't say clearly, just like their soul state.
On the bridge, there are three big characters written on the bridge.
Accompanied by a group of ghosts to the Nai Ho Bridge, after really stepping on the Nai Ho Bridge, I found that the Nai Ho Bridge was bigger and wider than I imagined.
It's densely packed with people, and you can't see the edge at a glance.
Xiao Bai followed closely behind the forest, shuttling back and forth among this group of ghosts, without attracting the slightest attention from the ghosts.
Xiao Bai suddenly looked in a certain direction, and then caught up with Lin Ran and bit his trouser leg and pulled it in one direction.
Lin Ran originally walked towards the front with the large army, but when he felt Xiao Bai's meaning, he also turned his head to look at the direction Xiao Bai wanted to go.
It seemed to have a sense in his heart, and then he left the ghost army and walked in that direction.
There was no time, so I don't know how long he walked, in short, there were fewer and fewer ghosts around him, and in the end, he was the only one left.
Only one of him was left, and the scene in front of him changed again, and a colorful stone appeared in front of him.
The stone is magical, shimmering with colorful light, and it is divided into three levels: upper, middle and lower.
The first time he saw the stone, Lin Ran understood, this is the famous Sansheng Stone.
To be honest, he was quite interested in his past life and his future, in fact, anyone was quite interested in this.
When he came to Sansheng Stone, he looked down at Xiaobai at his feet and asked softly.
"Do you think I should take a look?"
Xiaobai shook his head and whimpered.
It's not that you can't, but you don't know?
He is not Lin Ran, how do you know whether it should be or not, everything depends on Lin Ran's thoughts, if Lin Ran wants to, just take a look, anyway, it's not a big deal.
Lin Ran nodded.
"Well, it seems that I'm still a mortal, just try it."
After speaking, he stretched out his right hand and slowly placed it in the top area, which represents the place of his previous life.
As soon as the palm of the hand touches the stone, the stone is radiant and generous. Then a picture appeared in front of Lin Ran's eyes.
The picture is very simple, a white expanse, there is nothing, it is a white expanse, just like a magical space.
Lin Ran looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help falling into silence.
What does that mean? Nothing in the white expanse? Could it be that he didn't have a past life... Or was he a super boss in his previous life, and this Sansheng Stone has no ability to reflect it at all?
Compared with the two, Lin Ran prefers the former, but what is the truth? Who can say?
Letting go of the palm pressed on the Sansheng Stone, the picture in front of him disappeared, and the golden light that was released also dimmed.
Lin Ran shook his head, and put his hand in the middle to represent the area of this life.
Just like the golden light just now, the picture appeared in front of me.
And not unexpectedly, the picture that appeared was all about Lin Ran's ordinary life after becoming an ordinary person, about the earth, outside the world of Journey to the West... There is no record.
At this time, Xiao Bai snorted, attracting Lin Ran's attention.
Looking down at Xiaobai, he asked.
"What? I wonder why you don't exist? ”
Xiaobai nodded and whined again.
Why is there no existence of him in Lin Ran's life, you must know that even in the Journey to the West world, he is always by Lin Ran's side.
However, he is not present in the picture in front of him.
He didn't understand, it was a little difficult to understand, since there was Lin Ran, then why didn't he have him?
Although he is a virtual beast, his identity is more noble than Lin Ran in some aspects, but now that Lin Ran is his master, it stands to reason that with Lin Ran's existence, there should be his existence.
That's why he had this question.
Lin Ran looked at Xiaobai, then shook his head and spoke.
"You are different from me, you are a void beast, although I don't know what the void beast represents until now, but one thing is certain, you will not be recorded by the great universe, so there is no existence of you in the reincarnation of the underworld."
Xiao Bai shook his head twice, a little unable to understand Lin Ran's words.
He is very smart, and in some ways he is smarter than Lin Ran, but if his brain is not bright, he is not bright, and there is no way to change it for a while.
After Lin Ran finished speaking, he didn't pay attention to Xiao Bai anymore, and turned his head to look at the picture in front of him, his present life.
In the picture, his current life began after leaving Sun Wukong to find his own way and his own way.
The screen flashed quickly, and in a moment, he saw what he had done in the previous 20 years.
I've cried and laughed and I've been tired, and I've experienced all the real mortal life, with all kinds of flavors.
Then the picture changed to his wife after he left, perhaps because of the similarity of their personalities, his wife did not cry after his death, but first dressed him, and then put on makeup and another set of clothes.
Lin Ran still remembered that this outfit was the first time they met... Worn when you got married.
His lady finished her makeup, got dressed, and then lay down next to Lin Ran, also closed her eyes and fell asleep.
After a few moments, there was no sound.
Lin Ran subconsciously looked in the direction behind him, there was nothing behind him, there was no ghost except for himself, maybe his wife had come down to accompany him now.
Shook his head again, sometimes that's it. I will always sigh this and that inexplicably, but think about it... And what is there to sigh about?
Looking at the bottom area, he hesitated, it had already happened in the past, and it had nothing to do with him.
Now, it's done.
But the future? The future is not yet happening.
Lin Ran was a little hesitant, did he want to see what about his next life?
After thinking about it, I finally put my palm on it.
The picture appeared, a magnificent and vast city appeared in front of him, and two big characters were placed on the city gate... Xianyang.
Then the picture changed, and Lin Ran saw himself, but he was much more majestic than him in this picture, as if he was a natural emperor, exuding the aura of a king all over his body.
When the picture arrived here, it suddenly disappeared, and Lin Ran's palm was forced to leave the Sansheng Stone.
Xianyang?
Lin Ran muttered to himself, he seemed to know who his next life was?
Counting the time, it seems that this period has just begun.
I didn't expect that his afterlife would be that being, heh! I won't go into the world again.
kicked Xiaobai next to him and said.
"Okay, Sansheng Shizhao Sansheng has already tried, it's time to leave."
Lin Ran's voice fell, and the scene in front of him changed again, and then he found that he appeared on the previous Nai He Bridge again, and his surroundings were densely packed with ghosts.
Next, Lin Ran followed these ghosts and walked forward according to the guidance in his heart.
I don't know how long later, Lin Ran found that there were fewer and fewer ghosts in front of him, less and less.
After a long time, he was once again left as a ghost.
Then the picture changed again, and an amiable old woman appeared in front of him, holding a porcelain bowl in her hand, and said with a smile.
"Come, kid... Drink it. ”
Lin Ran subconsciously took the bowl of tea and wanted to drink it all in one gulp.
But Xiaobai at his feet reminded him, and he kept screaming.
The old grandmother didn't seem to notice Xiaobai before, and when she heard Xiaobai's shouting, she also bowed her head differently.
Lin Ran came to his senses in an instant and understood what the situation was now.
However, the old grandmother on the bridge also gave him a bowl of tea for him to drink, there is no doubt that it must be Meng Po's grandmother.
After finding out, he was not angry, nor panicked, and he did not smash the Meng Po soup in his hand on the ground, but asked.
"Meng Po?"
Grandma Meng was not surprised, and nodded.
"It's the old body."
"Young man, hurry up and drink Meng Po soup, so that you can be reincarnated, the things before your life have nothing to do with you from the moment you come here, there is no need to deliberately force ......"
Lin Ran nodded, but still didn't drink the bowl of Meng Po soup in his hand, and asked.
"Thank you Meng Po for your kindness, but I really can't drink this Meng Po soup."
Lin Ran said and directly spilled the Meng Po soup in the bowl on the ground.
Meng Po's face changed after seeing Lin Ran's movements, but she didn't get angry, and asked lightly.
"Why? You must know that you can't be reincarnated without drinking Meng Po soup, do you want to become a struggling soul in the Lechuan River under the bridge? ”
Lin Ran shook his head.
"Meng Po, I think you misunderstood me. I will not drink your Meng Po soup, and I will not be reincarnated from your underworld. ”
Meng Po's face changed again.
"What the hell do you mean?"
Lin Ran shook his head and said lightly.
"It's not interesting."
After speaking, he arched his hand at Meng Po, without saying a word, just bypassed Meng Po and walked towards the other side of the Nai He Bridge.
Meng Po wanted to do it when Lin Ran came to her, but the little black and white on the side stared at her, if Meng Po dared to do something to Lin Ran, then they would eat Meng Po in one bite.
That's right, with Xiao Hei Xiaobai's current strength, he can completely swallow Meng Po in one bite.
Meng Po could also feel the threat of Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai, so she could only let Lin Ran walk past him.
What to say about Meng Po's identity, it can be said that it is one of the great supernatural powers, and it can also be said to be a special existence.
She also knew that the catastrophe was coming, but she didn't know what the cause of the catastrophe was. Now that she has met Lin Ran, she understands that Lin Ran is the cause of this catastrophe.
Maybe the catastrophe will pass safely, or maybe the catastrophe will destroy the world and change the entire Journey to the West, but those do not have much influence on her.
She is a special existence, relying on the underworld, as long as the underworld is still there, then she Meng Po is there.
In the future, no matter how much the heaven and earth change, even if the heavenly court disappears, the underworld will still exist, because the underworld is the place of the six realms of reincarnation, and if there is no underworld, there will be no reincarnation in the human world.
In other words, as long as the human race is not extinct and the human world is destroyed, then she will have no life damage.
So after hesitation, she chose to compromise, what do you like.
Leaving Meng Po, the scene in front of her changed again, and it appeared on the Nai He Bridge again, surrounded by ghosts.
It's just that compared to before, these ghosts have become muddy, obviously they have drunk Meng Po soup, forgotten what happened before, and become simple ghosts.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, three forks suddenly appeared in front of them, or the bridge was divided into three.
One of the three forks is black, one is gold, and the other is white.
The three colors of the Nai Ho Bridge correspond to the bad guys, the ordinary people, and the good guys.
At the same time, the reincarnation represented is also very different.
Like a black bridge... At his end will be the road of animals...... Hell Road.
The white Nai He Bridge represents the way of the world.
Gold represents the way of heaven.
Arriving here, everyone seemed to be pulled in some way, and began to enter the three different Nai He bridges in batches.
Lin Ran did not hesitate to enter the human dao that represented white.
