Chapter 107, the sea is dust
Xu Ke was just in a dream, and the boat had already docked on the shore with him. After he went ashore, he couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw his young and handsome reflection on the surface of the water.
He kept scratching his forehead, and sighed for a long time in his heart: "I didn't expect this layer of space to be so wonderful! I thought that my life had already passed, but I could still live it from the beginning......
At this time, Xu Ke looked back at the sea when he came, and there was no trace of the boat, and he didn't know where he had gone, along with the two "black and white impermanence".
He looked ahead, and saw that he seemed to be in a garden at this time, surrounded by Qihua Yao grass, with winding paths under his feet, and lush and fragrant plants on both sides of the road. Half a mile away from him, there was a heavy house, in the middle of which there were many buildings and tiles, and there was a pavilion standing tall, rising from the ground between the heavy houses, which looked very solemn.
Xu Ke walked along the path to the towering pavilion, and as he walked, he thought wildly in his heart:
"What the hell is this place? Is it really the Netherworld?"
"This place is somewhat similar to the Tianbao Pavilion in Chang'an City, could it be that I came to the Tianbao Pavilion again? Can I see Yan'er again? Impossible!"
"Look at the height and style of this building, there is also a bit of the atmosphere of the Daming Palace, it seems that if this is the Netherworld, how can it be so similar to the palace in the world?"
"Don't worry about it for now, when I enter that high pavilion, I will naturally know at a glance! If this is really the Netherworld, I want to see what that Netherworld Lord looks like?"
"However, if I have really passed away, but I can still come to the underworld with this young and handsome appearance, this is not a bad thing, there is a way, the east corner of the harvest of mulberry elm, isn't it?"
......
Xu Ke only walked for a moment, and he had already come to the towering pavilion. He saw that there were words written on the horizontal plaque of the tall building, and he seemed to be in a trance as if the word "Canghai" was written.
Xu Ke walked into the door and entered the inner hall, only to see that the hall was very spacious, as if it was similar to the council hall when he was on duty in Tsing Yiwei. In front of a bookcase in the hall, a person was sitting upright at this time, the man was tall, wearing an indigo robe, but at this moment he was leaning sideways on the Taishi's chair, his eyes were closed, and he was snoring for a while, as if he was asleep.
Xu Ke looked around the entire hall, except for the person who was sleeping on the Taishi's chair, there was no one else. Xu Ke couldn't see the man's face, so he had to step forward, walk to the bookcase, and bow his hand to the person in the seat:
"In Xia Xu Ke, I've seen Yan Jun!" Although he wasn't sure where this place was for a while, he saw that since the "escort" was "black and white impermanence", he guessed that the person sitting upright in this hall was Yan Luo.
The man who seemed to be wearing an official uniform suddenly shuddered after hearing the voice, he rubbed his sleepy eyes, stopped sleeping, swallowed another mouthful of saliva, and then slowly turned around and looked at Xu Ke in front of the hall.
"Who's who? disturb my dreams for no reason!" the man asked, yawning, and angrily.
"Brother Jun Xian, why are you!" Xu Ke exclaimed.
I saw the person sitting in front of the hall, a pair of phoenix eyes burning like meteors, two long eyebrows curved like willow leaves, the bridge of the nose as straight as a mountain, and a forehead as wide as a plain, which happened to be Xu Ke's friend, Li Junxian, who used to worship General Zuo Wuwei.
"It's you, little brother!" "Li Junxian" still didn't wake up, and greeted lazily.
Xu Keqi said: "Brother Junxian, why are you here......? You are no longer in the world, and you have run to this netherworld to become the king of Hades?!"
"Hahahaha!" Li Junxian propped up the table and laughed: "Little brother is really interesting, who told you that this is the Netherworld!"
Xu Ke looked around the lobby and wondered, "Isn't this the underworld?"
"Li Junxian" said with a smile: "If this is the Netherworld, then the old man of Hades will not cry to death!"
Xu Ke was puzzled: "How can this not be the Netherworld?"
Li Junxian said: "In the netherworld, there are more than 10 million lonely souls and wild ghosts! However, there are long queues waiting for reincarnation by the bridge...... If I'm so idle here, wouldn't the world be chaotic!"
Xu Ke scratched his forehead and asked again: "Isn't it 'black and white impermanence' that just sent me here in a small boat?"
"What 'black and white impermanence'!" "Li Junxian" laughed again:
"They were just two top-backed apes, one with a black face and the other with a white face, and I saw that they looked playful, so that I could transform them into 'black and white messengers.' Don't you want to see it as 'black and white impermanence'......?
Xu Ke saw that "Li Junxian" had bent over with laughter, out of breath, he scratched his forehead, and felt embarrassed for a while, and said in a curtled manner:
"This is not the Netherworld, so dare to ask Brother Jun Xian, what kind of place is this?"
"Li Junxian" waved his hand and said, "This place is not a prefecture, and I am not your 'Junxian brother'." This place is the eleventh layer of the Pavilion of the God King, Canghai Tower, I am the master of Canghai Tower!"
Xu Ke hurriedly bowed to the lord of Canghai Mansion and said, "I have seen the lord of Canghai Mansion below!"
Seeing that Xu Ke was still staring at his face, the master of Canghai Mansion asked with a smile:
"How...... Does the appearance of the owner of this building look very similar to your 'Junxian brother'?"
Xu Ke said: "Don't hide it from the landlord, the two of you are not alike, they look exactly the same!"
The lord of Canghai Mansion said: "What if you look at the age of the two of us?"
Xu Ke carefully looked at the owner of the Canghai Mansion in front of him, only to see that three locks of long beards had grown under his chin, and the corners of his eyes had also seen a slight mark of wind and frost, seeing that he was at least forty years old, and Li Junxian, whom he knew, was no more than thirty years old at most, and he was puzzled at the moment:
"You two are more than ten years apart, but you really look the same person......, why is that? Brother Junxian is actually ......?"
"He is the Yan Jun of the underworld!" The owner of Canghai Mansion suddenly said.
"Huh?" Xu Ke asked in surprise, "Is Brother Junxian really Yan Jun of the Netherworld?"
"That's right, didn't you just call him 'Yan Jun'? Since you called him that, he must be the Lord of Yama! If you really go to the underworld in the future, you have to let him take care of you for a while......," said the lord of Canghai Mansion with a smile.
"Isn't that just my random speculation? How can the landlord take it seriously?" Xu Ke said embarrassedly.
The owner of the Canghai Mansion stroked three locks of long beard in his hand, and said with a smile: "I won't go around the bend with you, I'll tell you the truth! The owner of this building lives in the Canghai Fantasy Realm, and has never had a fixed appearance." What you see is only what you think in your own heart!"
Xu Ke said: "What I see is what I think in my heart? But in my heart, how can I think of Brother Junxian?"
The lord of Canghai Mansion said: "Presumably, that person and you must have an indissoluble fate, ......right?
Xu Ke couldn't help but wonder in his heart: "I am just a first acquaintance with Brother Junxian, although I admire him as a person, but the two of us have no deep friendship after all, how can there be an 'indissoluble fate'?"
The owner of Canghai Mansion smiled and said, "This ...... I'll have to wait for you to verify it later!"
"Okay!" Xu Ke scratched his forehead and didn't think about it anymore. Since he knew that this was still in the Divine King Pavilion, and the "hundred years of life" he had experienced before was just a fantasy of this eleven-story pavilion, then he was still himself, and his first priority at this moment was naturally to go up to the top floor as soon as possible and see the old white pavilion master as soon as possible, so he immediately asked:
"Dare to ask the owner of Canghai Building, how can I get out of this building and go to the next level?"
Unexpectedly, the owner of Canghai Mansion replied lightly: "You have already walked out of Canghai Tower?"
"Have I already walked out?" Xu Ke looked at the entire lobby again, as if he still didn't believe it: "So...... How do I get into the Twelfth Floor Pavilion?"
The owner of Canghai Mansion pointed behind him and wrote lightly: "Isn't the staircase there?"
Xu Ke looked sideways, and sure enough, he saw that not far behind the owner of Canghai Building, a wooden ladder was placed there.
"From this wooden ladder, it's a twelve-story pavilion?" Xu Ke asked again.
The lord of Canghai Mansion nodded, and said patiently:
"Go up from this wooden ladder, it is the twelfth floor of the pavilion, after the twelfth floor, you can enter the top floor and see the master of the white old pavilion......"
"Is it really that simple?" Xu Ke still didn't believe it. In this Divine King Pavilion, each floor has a task on each floor, and each layer has a problem on each floor, even if I just came up to the tenth floor of the Pavilion, I am not lucky enough to complete the task of four people, so that I can unravel the floating clouds and go up to this sea building? But in this eleven-story pavilion, I sleep all day long, except for eating, waking up, eating, eating and sleeping, and I have stayed like this until now, and I don't see which task I have completed?
The owner of Canghai Mansion stood up, walked in front of Xu Ke, hugged his shoulders with both hands, and said with a smile:
"Little brother, do you know how long you've been living on the island?"
"It's like...... I've been there for a few days," Xu Ke sighed.
Until this time, he thought back to the time on the island before, and he felt like he was in a dream. He only felt that that time was really long, and it seemed like a hundred years in the muddy......
The lord of Canghai Mansion said: "You have been alone on the island, and you have spent eighty years! Except for a red jiri horse monkey by your side, you have no friends, no companions, and no one who can talk to you. You've gone through such a long, uneventful, and even meaningless life, but you haven't been discouraged at all, you've never given up on yourself, and you've never gone crazy in the slightest. Every day you live happily and abundantly, every night you live frankly and calmly, no matter how fate treats you, you have no regrets and laugh at this life. Little brother, you know...... How amazing are you?!"
"I see, that's ......," Xu Ke said suddenly. He thought in his heart, it seems that this eleven-story pavilion is not without tasks and tests. The task here is how you can get through this life smoothly in the extremely dull and lonely years. If you give up halfway, go insane, or do other things that harm yourself, you may be trapped in this building forever, and you will never be able to leave the pavilion!
The owner of Canghai Mansion sent Xu Ke to the wooden ladder and raised his hand to signal him to go upstairs.
Xu Ke walked up the stairs and walked a few steps, and suddenly heard the owner of the Canghai Mansion behind him ask again:
"Little brother, if your real life is like my hundred years of vicissitudes, rushing by, and finally returning to dust, will you feel regret in your heart?"
