Chapter Ninety-Four, The Fifth Floor of the Pavilion
[February 22, 71st year of the Great Qiankang Dynasty, Shen Shi, Shenwang Pavilion Cloud Shadow Building]
As the cloud shadow bead emitted a dazzling light, Xu Ke finally returned to the God King Pavilion with the power of the spirit bead.
He only felt that his body had been shuttling through the rift of time and space, as if an infinite time had passed, and finally his eyes opened and his body fell to the ground.
"Lao Xu, you're finally back!"
As soon as Xu Ke stood still, he heard the deep voice of Yunying Zhenren. He looked closely, and there was a fat middle-aged man in a Taoist robe standing in front of him, but it was not who Yunying was really doing!
Xu Ke rubbed his eyes, looked around again, and felt that there were red walls and wooden planks in front of him, and a huge red column in the middle, which was empty beyond that. He tried to think about it, and then confirmed that this was the place in the Divine King's Pavilion.
He immediately sighed to himself, and said in his heart, I have finally returned, back to the place where I originally started.
He remembered that almost at the same moment, he had set out from here, and with the power of the Cloud Shadow Bead, he had traveled ten years later. There, he witnessed an unrecognizable world and lived with four women...... Now, although he has returned to the same place, the scenes of the past still linger in his heart, and it is really like falling into a dream!
"It's back, it's back...... cough!" Xu Ke sighed heavily and replied helplessly.
Somehow, at this moment, he still felt a wave of sadness in his heart for no reason, and it was an uncontrollable sadness. His heart was empty and he wanted to cry, but he couldn't cry out of his tears.
"Lao Xu, you've been there for too long! I've been reminding you four times! Are you ...... Don't want to come back?" Yunying Zhenren muttered and said angrily.
"Not really! I have always been unable to come back, I can't come back......" Xu Ke had to say a few words casually, which could be regarded as an explanation.
"Alright, now that you've returned, the mission of the Fourth Floor Pavilion is over. You return the Cloud Shadow Bead to me, go upstairs!" said the Cloud Shadow True Man with a wave of his hand.
Xu Ke took out the cloud shadow bead in his arms and handed it into the hands of the cloud shadow real person.
He walked to the small bamboo ladder not far away, and was just about to lift his legs to climb up, when he suddenly remembered something in his heart, and then asked:
"Dare to ask Brother Shadow, which fate line is the world we are in right now?"
"Fate line, what fate line?" Yun Ying Zhenren was stunned by Xu Ke's question.
Xu Ke said: "Or, which wheel of life are we in at this moment?"
Yunying Zhenren scratched the back of his head and smiled, "Oh...... Why do you ask about this?"
"I want to know!" Xu Ke said.
Yun Ying is truly humane: "In this God King Pavilion, there is no change in the wheel of life. ”
Xu Ke asked: "The wheel of life can change at any time, and the world has different developments, how come there is no change in the wheel of life in the God King Pavilion?"
Cloud Shadow Zhenren asked rhetorically: "In the God King Pavilion, time has always stood still, where did the wheel of life change?"
Xu Ke asked: "So, why can't I see the Divine King Pavilion in Chang'an City ten years later?"
Yunying Zhenren smiled: "That's because, in that life wheel in ten years, there is no God King Pavilion left!"
Xu Ke said: "You mean, as soon as my feet leave the God King Pavilion, the wheel of life will appear immediately. Moreover, every time I leave the cabinet, I will face different changes in the wheel of life. ”
Yunying Zhenren nodded: "So to speak!"
Xu Ke asked again: "According to what you say, I only need to keep going in and out of this God King Pavilion to experience different life wheels."
Change, can you experience a different life every time?"
Yunying Zhenren touched his belly and laughed: "Keep going in and out? Do you think this is the East Market in your Chang'an City? Ordinary mortals will never want to enter this pavilion in their lives." Although you have become a personal disciple of the White Old Pavilion Lord, you can only enter and exit the Divine King Pavilion once in your life!"
"......I see," Xu Ke pondered for a while, and then asked:
"So...... Dare to ask Brother Shadow, which wheel of life should I have after I leave the cabinet this time?"
Yunying Zhenren pinched his fingers and calculated, and blurted out: "If this real person is not wrong, you should be an ugly eight-line life wheel when you go out of the cabinet this time!"
"Okay, I remembered!" Xu Ke then said, "Brother Shadow, I have one last question......
"Ask!" said Yunying Zhenren with a smile.
"How can I meet the White Old Pavilion Master as soon as possible?"
"You want to meet the White Old Pavilion Master, I'm afraid it's not that easy! Are you...... Anxious to save the 'self' in that wheel of life?"
"Exactly!" Hearing that Yunying Zhenren actually guessed what he was thinking, Xu Ke couldn't help but feel very surprised.
Yunying Zhenren shook his head and sighed: "The so-called 'wheel of life' means that everything is destined. This is also the meaning of what you mortals say, 'life and death are fateful, and wealth is in heaven.'" In the crossing you just had, you entered the 'Jiazi Twelve Lines Wheel of Life', where the people and things have long been predestined, and how can you change them with manpower?...... Ahem, I'll tell you the truth, the fate of 'you' in that world has already been predetermined, so you don't have to worry about it!"
"But...... But Brother Junxian clearly told me that as long as he found the help of the Bai Lao Pavilion Master, he would be able to rescue that 'my' primordial god, so that he could be resurrected as soon as possible and return to the world!" Xu Ke couldn't help but say anxiously.
"What about him!" Yunying Zhenren pursed his lips and said disapprerovingly: "In order to persuade you to come back early! You said that you are a person with an ugly eighth line, and you want to stay within the 12th parallel of Jiazi and refuse to leave, what are you nostalgic for there?"
"This ......" Xu Ke couldn't help scratching his forehead, a little embarrassed. He said in his heart, I am naturally reluctant to leave the four sisters beside me, but how can this mind be explained to your shadow brother?
"I know, you must be reluctant to give up a few celebrities around you, but no matter who it is, there are also them in your original eight-line life wheel! They are not all in your Xu Mansion in Chang'an City at this time, and they have been waiting for you to go back!"
"Haven't I come back too......? I still want to see the White Old Pavilion Master as soon as possible!" Xu Ke said.
He still didn't quite believe the chubby real person in front of him. Regarding what Brother Junxian said, he didn't think it was just a "deception". If Brother Junxian wants to persuade him to return early, he will make it clear to him, so why make up such an excuse?
"The White Old Pavilion Lord is on the thirteenth floor, you just need to climb up layer by layer as soon as possible, and when you reach the top floor, you will naturally be able to meet it!" Yunying Zhenren said impatiently.
"Okay, then I'll go up to the fifth floor of the pavilion first!" After Xu Ke finished speaking, he wanted to get up and go up the ladder.
"Do you know, what is the ultimate fate of the 'Xu Ke' in that world?" When Xu Ke went up the ladder, Yunying Zhenren suddenly said again.
At this time, Xu Ke turned around and saw that the fat real man was doing it in front of him again, conjuring up a table and two wooden chairs, and there was an extra pot of tea and two tea cups on the table. Yunying Zhenren was sitting at the table, pouring himself a cup of tea, and talking to himself.
Xu Ke had to walk over to Yunying Zhenren and sit down, he also poured himself a cup of hot tea, served
I took a sip of the teacup, and felt that the tea was sweet and clear, just like the "flower rain tea" that moved Chang'an.
Xu Ke lived in the "demonic world" ten years later, and it was rare to even drink a glass of water, how could he have ever drunk such a sweet and delicious "flower rain"! At this moment, he knew that all the tea in front of him was made of cloud shadow real people, and he couldn't help but drink several big sips, and after drinking it every time, he couldn't help but praise: "Good tea, it's so delicious!"
"Hahahaha!" Yunying Zhenren looked at Xu Ke's greedy appearance for tea, and couldn't help laughing: "If you haven't crossed over, you have been staying in your own mansion, drinking that genuine Huayu famous tea every day, you will definitely mock me at this time for the distortion of the taste of tea, and the taste is not beautiful." But you've only been in that 'Jiazi Twelve Lines' life wheel for three months, do you think that my cup of 'flower rain' is comparable to the jade liquid of the Heavenly Palace?"
"......" Xu Ke was speechless for a while.
Yunying Zhenren said: "Isn't the so-called happiness and happiness of you mortals that you mortals can only truly experience after experiencing pain and loss? Just like this cup of 'Flower Rain' in front of you, it was originally a cup of tea with a weak taste and no fragrance, and you can drink it so happily at this time, it can be seen that what you see and think in your daily life may not be the true face of the world......
Xu Ke had no choice but to arch his hand and said earnestly: "Brother Shadow, I have been taught today! What you just said, what is the final fate of the 'I' in the 'Twelve Lines of Jiazi', I sincerely hope that Brother Shadow can speak for me!"
Yunying is really humane: "Speaking of which, the ending of 'you' in that world is not satisfactory! Our Bai Lao Pavilion master here first went up to the heavenly court, dredged all the joints, and then went to the South China Sea to find Guanyin Master for help, Guanyin Master has great powers, so he interceded with the Jade Emperor, took out 'your' Yuan Shen from the Purple Cloud Pavilion, and put it in the Huaguo Mountain in the east of the Divine Continent. ”
"Huaguoshan, where is that? I seem to have heard someone say it......" Xu Ke said in a low voice.
"In the east of Shenzhou, there is an island, called 'Aolai Island' also known as 'Aolai Country'. There is a strange mountain on Aolai Island, the mountain is high and beautiful, the grass and trees are in the sky, the four seasons are evergreen, there are countless melons and fruits, this mountain is called 'Huaguo Mountain'. In Huaguo Mountain, there is a boulder, which is nourished by the essence of heaven, earth, sun and moon all the year round, and the aura has been secretly born inside. Master Guanyin then hid the original spirit of 'you' in the boulder. On other days, the primordial spirit of 'your' will be constantly nourished by the aura of heaven and earth, and a spiritual fetus will be born...... At that time, once you meet someone who is destined, 'you' will break through the stone and become a ...... with the power to penetrate the heavens and the earth So what......"
Xu Ke couldn't help but be fascinated when he heard this, and said in his heart that the ending of the 'me' in that world was not bad! Not only was he resurrected in the world, but he also had the ability to do so. However, he heard that the last sentence of Yunying Zhenren was very vague, and immediately asked, "What is that...... What is it?"
Yunying Zhenren touched his bulging belly and said with a smile: "Then 'what' means that 'you' have become an extraordinary person!"
"I see! That's good!" Xu Ke couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard that the "self" in that world was such an ending.
Immediately, he said: "Brother Shadow, according to what you said, this matter before and after, I still have to help the old pavilion master Bai himself?
"It seems to be too!" Yunying Zhenren touched his belly and smiled awkwardly.
At that moment, Xu Ke didn't delay any longer, so he got up and went up the slender bamboo ladder, took three steps and made two steps, passed through the roof, and went up to the fifth floor of the pavilion.
As soon as he stepped into the ground of the fifth floor pavilion, he heard a rough voice above him:
"Well, I'm 'Messenger of Restraining from Greed, I've been waiting for you for a long time!'"
