Volume 1 - Blue Star Chapter 2 The old man in the white robe
Seeing everything strange around him, Chu Ran thought to himself: 'Oh my God! What's going on, where am I? A spirit, Chu Ran felt that something was wrong, obviously he had just turned on the computer, and was just about to write something, how could he suddenly come to such a strange place? And the place is still an endless pure white, nothing! At this time, Chu Ran subconsciously remembered a terrifying picture, the moment he turned on the computer, there seemed to be a strong light shining on him, and then he lost consciousness, and when he woke up, he came here inexplicably.
'Am I crossing over?' No, I've read too much of this online novel, how can there be any crossing in reality, even if there is a crossing, I should also travel to a certain point in time in the past or future, and then look at everything around me, it's not like a crossing! Where am I? How did I get here? Chu Ran thought about it and began to be afraid, he had already thought of the worst situation: "My God, it won't be so sad, is it possible that I died suddenly?" Maybe this is the world after people die? Thinking of the previous work pressure, dragging the tired body every day, working hard and taking care of Qi'er at the same time, the long-term fatigue made the physical load almost beyond the limit, so the possibility of sudden death is very high, thinking of this, Chu Ran really panicked, he has not seen the birth of the children, and has not fulfilled the promise to Qi'er, Chu Ran at this moment, the mood instantly fell into the abyss of despair, the whole person was crazy at first, and then sat in place motionless.
"Little friend, you're awake!" Suddenly, an old and penetrating voice came into Chu Ran's ears.
"Who? Who's there? Chu Ran was startled, quickly stood up, and looked around vigilantly. At this time, Chu Ran found a vague figure far behind him, as if there was a person standing there.
'It's a blessing or a curse, it's a curse that can't be avoided, since I came to this strange place inexplicably, I have to find out what is going on! Chu Ran settled down, walked over cautiously, and just looked at the distance that seemed to be very far, Chu Ran stepped out in one step, and actually came to the front of the figure. Chu Ran was shocked in his heart: 'My God! How did I do it? This is teleportation, when did I master such a bullish skill? ’
Chu Ran knew that this was not the time to sigh, so he retracted his thoughts and began to carefully look at the figure in front of him, due to the closer distance, Chu Ran at this time saw very clearly, and what caught his eye was an old man with a kind face, dressed in ancient costume: the white robe was trimmed with gold, the robe was embroidered with golden lotus, the waist was wearing a gold silk jade belt, and there was a golden Pingtian crown on his head, and a dragon's head hosta was inserted on the Pingtian crown, with white hair, a kind face, and a golden sword-shaped mark at the center of his eyebrows, although it was already the appearance of ancient years, But his eyes are resolute and sharp.
Seeing this person's appearance, Chu Ran hurriedly asked, "Old man, are you the Lord of Hades or the Soul Envoy?" Where is this? Is it the underworld? The old man in front of him had a kind smile on his face, and was about to speak, but he saw Chu Ran and then muttered to himself: "I haven't calculated it even by a thousand calculations, I'm young, and it's actually gone, and it's still a shameful way of dying of overwork!" I can't accept it! Chu Ran didn't give the old man a chance to speak at all, Chu Ran just talked to himself, and the grievances in his heart seemed to have reached the peak in an instant, so he cried loudly without scruples, thinking that he couldn't fulfill the agreement with Qi'er to grow old, didn't wait for the birth of his child, and didn't be filial to his parents! The more Chu Ran thought about it, the more sad he became, the more he cried, and the tears kept flowing down with a roar, if outsiders saw Chu Ran's appearance at the moment, they would definitely be able to laugh back and forth.
'Stinky boy, you're giving the old man a chance to speak! The old man was speechless for a while, but he still forced a smile on his face and said: "Don't worry, don't worry, don't worry!" Hearing this, Chu Ran stopped crying and came back to his senses, only then did he realize that the old man in front of him had not yet answered his question. Seeing that Chu Ran's mood was slightly stable, the old man smiled and said to Chu Ran unhurriedly: "Little friend, don't misunderstand, the old man is not the Lord of Hades as you said, nor is he a soul envoy!" Xiaoyou, don't be sad first, you're not dead, take a closer look first, is this the underworld you imagined? ”
The old man's rhetorical question brought great hope to Chu Ran, so he asked with teary eyes, "Really?" Sir, am I really alive? "I was in a hurry just now, I didn't take a good look at it, but thinking about it carefully, Chu Ran subconsciously remembered something, everything around me seemed terrible, but it was very different from the afterlife world that I had imagined or heard of, and it was obvious that everything that happened just now was nothing more than scaring myself.
Slowly calmed down, Chu Ran looked around again, although it was still white, but it looked very clean and peaceful, Chu Ran looked down and looked at his feet again, there was no water on the ground, but when he stepped on it, it was like a ripple on the surface of the water. 'This isn't hell, is it heaven?' Thinking of this, Chu Ran was a little anxious again, whether it was the underworld or the heavens, the result was the same, but just now the old man said that he was not dead, so he simply asked what was going on. So Chu Ran imitated the appearance of the ancients who he saw from the film and television drama, and made a gesture to the old man: "Old man, this place really doesn't look like the underworld, everything here is so pure and peaceful, is this heaven?" Sir, please tell me the truth! ”
**** (it is obviously a swear word here, so in order to prevent bad others, so it is asterisk treatment here), stinky boy, Lao Tzu said that you are not dead, you are still in heaven, if it is not for Lao Tzu has an extremely important purpose, I really want to slap you to death! Although he thought so in his heart, the old man still had a kind smile on his face, so he replied, "Alas... It's really a little embarrassing for a little friend, after all, you are not a cultivator, and it is normal that you have never seen such a scene. ”
The old man paused, his left hand was behind his back, and his right hand stroked his pale beard and said: "Xiaoyou, this place is not elsewhere, but the exclusive consciousness space you are born with, and there is a unified name in the cultivation realm - the sea knowledge space, from the immortals to the mortals, they all have their own sea knowledge space, but ordinary people cannot come to this space, only the monks can freely enter and exit here when they reach a certain realm, and you will know its infinite use in the future." With the improvement of the cultivation realm, wonderful changes will also occur in the sea knowledge space, but the little friend has never practiced, so there is nothing in this sea knowledge space, and it will be such a clean scene! ”
Chu Ran was shocked, staring at the old man suspiciously, and at the same time thinking in his heart: 'Know the sea space? Cultivation Realm? Monk? This old man looks quite normal, why is he talking nonsense in broad daylight? ’
As if he could hear what Chu Ran was thinking, the old man stroked his beard again, smiled and said to Chu Ran: "Little friend doesn't need to doubt, the old man is one of the thousands of monks, so the old man can meet you here!" ”
"I'll it! Sir, do you know how to read minds? Chu Ran stared at the old man with wide eyes, he couldn't believe it, he didn't speak at all, how did this old man know what he was thinking?
The old man laughed heartily: "Hahahaha~ Little friend don't be surprised! It's just a routine operation! After that, the old man slowly walked to Chu Ran's side, patted Chu Ran lightly on the shoulder, and said, "Well, since Xiaoyou is related to the old man, I can't say that I will be the teacher for Xiaoyou once, and talk about the cultivation realm for Xiaoyou!" So the old man stroked his gray beard, looked at Chu Ran with a smile and asked, "Little friend, let me ask you first, what is this world like in your cognition?" Or rather, how big is the world? ”
