Chapter 6: Dialogue on Life and Death
I don't know how long it took, Yu Dao slowly woke up, feeling indescribably comfortable, as if he had been asleep for a century, full of strength and spirit.
Open your eyes and look at it, as if you are in a big house, at first glance it is a typical Chinese-style courtyard, surrounded by carved beams and painted buildings, dougong cornices, there is continuous water vapor flowing down the eaves, it feels like being in the clouds, and the water vapor flowing down has not yet dissipated in the ground. Looking far away, the surrounding fog is facing towards you, Ambilight, all the colors are so smart and gentle, the surrounding scenery is not clear and seems to be clear, the light is suitable enough to seem to understand your thoughts.
Retracting his gaze, the interior furnishings are extremely simple, a square table of 1 meter by 1 meter, 2 simple cushions that seem to be made of straw, and a very delicate stove is placed next to the square table, which is engraved with complex inscriptions and moire, and there is a faint blue flame dancing inside, and the moire on the stove faintly flows with red flames, like a swimming dragon, but it does not feel the heat at all, and there is no smell of smoke. There is a copper-colored teapot on the stove, which is perfectly matched with the stove, as if it is a set of objects, and it is also engraved with inscriptions and moire, and there seems to be water boiling in the kettle, but it does not have the feeling of making tea and boiling water at all. There are 2 crystal clear teacups on the opposite side of the table, I can't see what material it is, it looks like jade and not jade, and there is a faint dragon coiled, but if you look closely, it seems to be calm and quietly placed like jade.
Directly facing the inside of the hall, a huge silk silk hangs there, as if swaying in the wind, and the slow-moving Milky Way on the scroll seems to suck your gaze all the way in, and the focus of your gaze is like the camera is zooming in until every planet is clearly visible. Yu Dao was in a trance all of a sudden, what is this, if it is in the real world, you must think that this is a giant flexible screen, but it has a 3D effect, just like human VR virtual reality, but this silk is indeed a Bo Juan, and you can even see the beams and pillars behind Bo Juan.
Yu Dao is in a trance, where the hell am I? How long did I sleep? Am I dead or alive?
Yu Dao, woke up, are there a lot of mysteries, a lot of questions? Hahaha, I'm scared too. A voice came from afar in Yu Dao's head.
Yes, may I ask sir, where are you? I can't see you, can I show up? Yu Dao replied neither humbly nor arrogantly. Indeed, there are too many mysteries and doubts in Yu Dao's heart.
Hahaha, okay, I'll show up without asking.
Before the words fell, on the opposite side of Yudao, a figure slowly emerged, slowly becoming more and more condensed.
Yu Dao looked carefully, and saw the person opposite, dressed in a white robe, clean and dusty, and his waist-length white hair was like a silver thread, revealing the slightest light. A slightly raised forehead, slightly sunken temples, deep eye sockets, a pair of piercing eyes with incomparable kindness, a straight nose, and ruddy lips. How do you look like an immortal in a mythological TV series.
Looking at the kind gaze of the person opposite, Yu Dao's heart finally settled down, and since he woke up, he has been uneasy, especially where he is, whether he is dead or alive, he can't calm down.
Where am I? How long did you sleep? Am I dead or alive?
Yudao, do you want to know, where are you? How long did you sleep? Are you dead or alive?
Yu Dao was completely shocked again, what is the situation, how can he know everything I thought in my heart, at this moment, Yu Dao only felt numb all over his body, and a cold sweat penetrated his chest and abdomen.
Yu Dao, you don't have to be nervous, but you may not believe what I say next, because what I want to tell you is something completely beyond your knowledge. Are you ready?
Yu Dao pondered for a moment, thinking, what else can I prepare, in such an environment, being ready or not being ready is the same. I can't even figure out my own life and death, so what kind of choice do I have?
Oh sir, I'm ready. Yu Dao replied respectfully.
Okay, hehe, Yu Dao, I'll show you something first, as he spoke, Mr. Silver Hair gently scratched his hand on the tea table, only to see that the tea table was like a TV screen reflecting a picture, a white room, a bed, a bedside table, an infusion stand, and a hanging infusion bottle, and a person lying on the hospital bed.
Seeing this picture, Yu Dao was directly shocked, isn't this exactly himself! The person lying in the hospital bed is none other than himself. At this time, Yu Dao's heart was directly cold, I saw me, isn't this just death?
Sir, am I dead? Yu Dao said tremblingly.
Hehe, Yu Dao, don't be afraid, you are dead now, and you are not dead. Sometimes life and death are not what you see. Do you know the soul?
Yes, sir, but I only know the word soul, because the soul is still unclear in my world, and I know that there are many supernatural events, but none of them have been officially confirmed and scientifically explained. Yu Dao said seriously, and at the same time waited for Mr. Silverhair's answer with apprehension.
Mr. Silver Hair went on to say that the soul actually refers to two things, the soul is the consciousness and the soul is the body, and you are now the soul in the nine heavens and the soul in the world, which means that your soul, in your scientific term, is your consciousness is with me, and your body is in the hospital. When you describe a dead person, you often say that the soul is scattered, that is, the soul flies away and does not know where it went, the body is buried or cremated, this is the real death, your soul is separated from the body, so it can also be said to be dead. But now your soul is talking to me, and your body is on an infusion in the hospital, so you're not dead. That is, you are both alive and dead now.
Listening to Mr. Silverhair's words, Yu Dao calmed down, although he knew that he was on the line between life and death, but seeing Mr. Silverhair's kind and kind eyes to him, he would not be unfavorable to himself.
Sir, may I ask you, where am I?
Hehe, child, don't worry, I'll make a cup of tea and slowly answer your doubts.
As he spoke, Mr. Silver Hair turned over his hand and put the two leaves that came from nowhere in the quilt, gently picked up the teapot next to him, and poured the water from the teapot into the cup. I saw that the water poured into the cup was steaming slightly, but I couldn't feel the temperature of the usual tea. As the strange water in the teapot was poured into the cup, the two leaves slowly unfurled, like a bewitching beauty slowly stretching out her graceful posture and preparing to dance. As the leaves unfold, the tea gradually becomes emerald green and unfathomable. It's all so beautiful, but also full of endless nothingness, like a dream, both true and false.
Come, Yu Dao, have a cup of tea, and let's talk slowly. Mr. Silver said.
Yu Dao gently picked up the teacup and took a sip gently, strange, Mr. clearly said that he is the soul now, but everything is so real, real touch, real taste, real tea flowing into the chest and abdomen, and at the same time I feel an incomparably comfortable breath in the abdomen warm and moist the internal organs. It felt so comfortable, more comfortable than ever before. Yu Dao drank all the tea in one gulp. Suddenly, in the chest and abdomen, there seemed to be thousands of rivers, surging endlessly, and there seemed to be thousands of energies, circulating in Zhou Tian, and his own feeling was that now he had an elephant, and he could be thrown out directly.
Hahaha, Yu Dao, how does this tea feel? Sir, I don't know what kind of tea this is, but it's really delicious, and it seems to have a function. Yu Dao said.
Yes, I'm talking to you about this cup of tea in the future, and now I'm answering your other two questions.
Mr. Silver Hair continued: I just answered the question of your life and death, and now I want to tell you where you are, you are now in the guest room in my mansion, but unfortunately, my current ability can not show you around, and I can't show you the whole picture of my mansion, I hope that one day you can see it, and I hope that one day we can really sit together and drink tea, I am now the same as you, I am also in the soul state, you can call my current state the soul body. One day, when you have enough ability, we can really drink tea together.
You also have the question, that is, how long did you sleep? You've slept with me for 1 year, but don't worry, you've only slept for 1 day in your world.
What, Yu Dao was shocked again, what kind of place is this, and more questions appeared after 3 questions.
