Chapter 23: Outer Heaven (1)
Lu Yin was stunned again, and asked for directions to receive red envelopes?
"My name is Shanshui Boy, young lady, I'll help you inquire, when you've had enough of playing in the lower realm, don't forget me when you return to the upper realm!" The little boy walked happily to the verandah.
Walking through the zigzag verandah, the little boy led Lu Yin to a grand hall. The little boy pushed open the double colored door, and there was a lot of noise and noise inside. Lu Yin followed the little boy in, and the hall was full of cards. Fashionable, costume, Chinese, Western, and all kinds of dressed groups sat around the table, all of them devoted themselves to the game.
The boy led Lu Yin to a table of eight and sat down. Sitting across from them was a richly dressed curly-haired woman. The curly-haired woman looked as if she hadn't slept for three days and three nights, her eyes staring straight at the cards, and her expression was very penetrating. A very strange-looking stack of bills was placed on the right hand side of the curly-haired woman.
The boy played a few rounds of cards with a few rounds, and half of the curly-haired girl's strange bills were in the boy's hand. The curly-haired woman's eyes began to glance in two ways, one moment staring at the cards, the other looking at the stack of banknotes, and her mouth kept nagging about money and money, and babbling endlessly. It was only then that she noticed that Lu Yin, who was sitting on the opposite corner, was emitting purple light on his body. The corners of the curly-haired woman's mouth hooked up into a vulgar sneer, and before the smile was finished, her attention involuntarily returned to the game, and from time to time she glanced at the handful of money in the boy's hand.
The little boy blinked and said to the curly-haired girl, "I'm still young, it's useless to take this money!" Why don't you tell me how to go to the lower realm, and I'll give you all the money back. ”
Hearing this, the other five people playing cards at the same table raised their heads and glanced at the boy, were silent for a few seconds, and continued to bury their heads in the game, completely indifferent to the problem of violations.
The curly-haired woman stretched out her fingers to hook them, and someone ran over with a pen and paper. The curly-haired woman drew a map and handed it to the boy. The deal was made, and the happy little boy handed the money back to the curly-haired girl one by one.
When he left this hall, the little boy turned around and helped the Upper Realm gamblers inside close the double doors, and then said, "Little sister, the little boy has not practiced enough, and his body is not shiny, so he can't leave the other courtyard." You see, at the end of this map is the exit to the Nether. Along the way, here is the precept office, they are very serious, if you don't want to stuff red envelopes, it's best to stay away, lest someone go to make a small report! ”
Shikakure: "Well, I'll bypass the precepts. ”
The boy threw a small look: "Little sister, I have done you such a big favor, the lower realm is so good, when you return to the upper realm, don't forget me!" ”
Luyin: "You are so characteristic, I shouldn't forget it." ”
"Should? Look at you big guys, you speak in such a tone! The little boy blinked, "Little sister, look at your inexperienced appearance, let me teach you a little, if you meet someone on the road and ask you something, don't look at him, and don't answer." With your purple light outfit, the more arrogant you are, the more afraid they are of you! lest there be a verbal exchange and you will be found out that you are actually ...... Hey, hey, hey...... I want to sneak down and play! Little sister, let's go, the little boy has to rush back to the Water Mirror Academy for evening classes! ”
Lu Yin took the map and followed the road signs on it. Along the way, she remembered the little boy's tricks and ignored anyone. Sure enough, no matter where you go, you can go without hindrance! When he was about to reach the precept center on the map, Lu Yin made a special detour, and after going around, he couldn't find the direction.
She scrambled around as if by luck, and at last another door appeared in front of her, and inside the door there was a row of steps descending. She leaned in and looked, and the descending stairs were so long that there was no end in sight, they were supposed to be the exit to the Nether.
When she finally finished the descending stairs, she didn't see the downward exit, but another long row of ascending stairs stood in front of her. She didn't want to go back and start over, so she continued down the new staircase, and after not knowing how long, she suddenly thought, why is there no one here?
She didn't notice at all, in fact, when she entered this door, there was a big sign written on the door: Forbidden!
She didn't even know that the stairs inside this door could shrink the space, a hundred miles!
Finally finishing this ascending staircase, she stood at the top of the upper realm, and her vision became very broad. The annexes and halls I had been to before looked like tiny Rubik's cubes below. Above the annex and the main hall is a layered space like a mille-feuille cake. Each layered space has a group of buildings of different styles, or the tiered pavilion is a flying pavilion, or a tower gilded palace. And the higher the level, the more ornate and spectacular the complex, and it seems that the higher up the occupants here, the more powerful they become. Strangely, even though the upper buildings are magnificent, they still lack the most basic light. The entire upper space, whether up or down, left or right, can not see the sun, moon and stars, and the surrounding clouds are dark and thick, and it is a dim and lightless world.
At the summit where Shikakure stands, there is a protruding circular platform. Curious, she walked to the platform and saw the words "Accusation Table" engraved on the platform. Beyond the circular edge of the platform stands a stone tablet with the inscription: 止. Outside the sky
Outside the sky? Lu Yin pondered, and suddenly recalled the palace characters that Chun Yutan had explained.
"Legend has it that when Cangjie made Chinese characters, he received the revelation of heaven, and the sun rained like rain, and the ghosts cried at night. Because of the written word, the wisdom of the people is increasing, and it is more difficult for ghosts to deceive people. Cultivators like to call their abode a palace, because the word "palace" contains the mysteries of cultivation. If you look at the word "palace", the bottom mouth is the earth, that is, the human realm and the earth realm in the mouth of cultivators. The mouth in the middle of this palace character refers to the heavenly realm, and since ancient times, people who have ascended to the upper realm have reached this middle mouth. The top point of this palace character represents the way of heaven, and between the way of heaven and heaven, man and earth, there is a horizontal separation, because heaven and earth are limited below this horizontal. Therefore, even if a cultivator lives in the earthly realm for a hundred years, or soars to the heavenly realm for a thousand years, he will eventually be under this horizontal and will eventually be gone. ”
Lu Yin recalled Chun Yutan's words, and her heart was suddenly shocked, at this moment she was standing at the peak of the upper realm, could it be that from this peak and then up, it was a little outside the palace - the sky outside the sky?
Her eyes lit up, two small palms were placed to her mouth, and she raised her head and shouted to the sky: "Outside the sky, what do you look like?" I'd love to see you! ”
Chun Yutan has never taught Lu Yin, the power of human voices. Because even Chun Yutan himself does not know the mystery of creation and sound. Generations of cultivators have worked hard to transcend life and death, and have developed one complex cultivation system after another, but no one has really used these systems to live forever. Who would have thought that the real secret is as simple as dialing the right phone number. Lu Yin, who was still childlike, because of this shout, uncovered the horizontal that cultivators throughout the ages could not break through by relying on manpower.
