Chapter 6: The Door of Life and Death
"Maybe it's an illusion too"
Xiao Yu jumped forward, and the spear pierced the towering underworld monument "Dong" A hoarse voice sounded, and then a long-standing feeling of heaviness was transmitted from the body of the spear to Xiao Yu.
"Death and death, follow the fate of the six paths, the good ascend to heaven, and the evil go down to the underworld"
Xiao Yu gasped, it was really the entrance to the underworld. But how could there be an entrance to the underworld on Immortal Island? Xiao Yu withdrew his spear with a puzzled expression.
"Is it really the Underworld Monument, then how do we get out?" asked the maidens.
"Yes, it's true!" Xiao Yu looked around with a solemn face, and the silver waterfall pouring down from the Nine Heavens was like a natural screen, not high. Only the direction of the deep stream of water flowing through the stone tablet into a rolling yellow spring, there is a faint path, and I don't know where it leads.
Suddenly, there was a faint ethereal sound of the piano in the mist, faint and resentful, like crying and complaining. Xiao Yu listened attentively, and the sound of the piano came from the front of the path.
Is there still a human being in this place?
"Xiao Yu, what are you doing?" Caifeng looked at the fog in front of her with a puzzled expression, and then looked back at Xiao Yu.
"Listen to the sound of the piano!" Xiao Yu waved his hand lightly, signaling everyone to be quiet.
"Piano sound?"
"Where is the sound of the piano?"
"No, I didn't hear anything."
All the women looked at Xiao Yu with inexplicable expressions, and they all had a feeling that their hairs were standing on end.
"What? Can't you hear it? Listen quickly!" Xiao Yu hummed softly in order to let everyone hear clearly, following the rhythm of the piano.
"I can't hear you!" the women shook their heads.
"Weird!" Xiao Yu muttered, turned his head and said, "Let's follow the sound of the piano, maybe there are people in front of us."
"But what if there is an underworld in front of me, I don't want to die yet, master, I don't want to die yet" Lin Xian'er's face was full of horror.
"Yes, isn't the Underworld Monument the Underworld? Are we really going to go over?" Xiao Yu, do you want to think about it" Li Qingyao's slender knuckles pinched the corners of her skirt tightly, and looked at Xiao Yu with a nervous expression.
"There's no other way out here, we might as well go over and give it a go, maybe there's a way out ahead," Xiao Yu said firmly, looking ahead.
"Sisters, Xiao Yu is right, if we stay here, we may never be able to get out! It's better to give it a go" Caifeng said, "We who cultivate the truth are originally against the sky and change our lives, and it is not so easy to die if we think about it."
"Okay!" the women thought about it, it made sense, why not go and fight, anyway, the sky fell and there was that god-like man on top. At this moment, everyone couldn't help but regard Xiao Yu as their backbone.
"Everyone, follow closely!" Xiao Yu raised his gun with one arm and followed the sound. The women joined hands and followed.
The road has always coexisted with the rolling yellow spring, and there is a forked road after a journey, and the rolling yellow spring is also accompanied by a diversion, Xiao Yu and his party have been following the direction of the piano sound.
The road widened, and so did the rolling yellow springs, until they came to an abrupt end in front of two huge dark gates, where the sound of the piano lost its rhythm. The two pitch-black gates resemble floodgates for water storage and flood discharge.
The pitch-black gate towers into the fog, and its true face is not visible, and you can only vaguely see an ancient font engraved on each of the two doors on the left and right, life and death.
The door of life and death!
There was a ferry boat on the shore of Huangquan, and there was a boatman on the boat who wore a hat and was covered in a black cloak and turned his back to everyone.
"Are we still going?" Shangguan Wan'er's voice was very unnatural. Whoever is in this weird environment is afraid that it will not be better.
The women huddled together tightly and looked at Xiao Yu with a nervous expression.
"The door of life and death, the door of life and death! one is for death, the other is for life, let's go to the door of life" Xiao Yu looked carefully at the two dark doors and said.
"Ah, can you not go! It's so terrifying" Lin Xian'er looked at Xiao Yu with a look of hope.
"This is the only way out, we have to make a choice, otherwise we may never be able to get out" Xiao Yu reassured everyone.
"Okay then, let's go to Shengmen" Caifeng held the daughters' hands tightly and nodded encouragingly.
"Okay!" Xiao Yu took the lead to the shore, jumped on the ferry, and then waved his hand at the women, who also stepped onto the ferry, holding hands.
"Go to the boatman!" Xiao Yu nodded at the boatman and said.
"The door of life and death, the door of life and death, the end of life is death, death is death, death is death!" the boatman did not answer, the penny propped up, the ferry was offshore, and the boatman sang to himself.
Everyone looked at each other, what did this boatman mean?
The ferry boat soon traveled to the huge gate of life, and the dark gate was carved with many reliefs of human heads, joys, sorrows, and life. I don't know if it's a delusion, but everyone faintly heard all kinds of voices coming from the door, crying, laughing, mourning, happy, angry, painful, and crazy
There are two large door rings on the height of one person on the door, and the whole body is dark.
The boatman grabbed the knocker and buckled it heavily on the door, and with three or two clicks, the huge door slowly cracked a gap, which was enough for the ferry to pass through.
The moment the "whoosh" ferry passed through the birth gate, the surrounding scene suddenly changed.
The next moment, everyone was already in front of a rainbow bridge, surrounded by fairy mist. On the other side, Qionglou Yuyu, carved beams and painted buildings, fairy music fluttering.
There is a couplet on the left and right sides of the rainbow bridge: "At the end of the song, people are scattered, and the prosperity is empty"
Hey, where is this? Didn't we come in from the birth gate? Where is the door? At the moment when Xiao Yu turned around, a huge attraction pulled Xiao Yu and flew quickly to the other side.
In the palatial room, with the cry of a baby "wow", a group of people waiting nervously outside the door finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the beautiful maid pushed open the door and excitedly shouted, "Lord Wang!
The prince in the brocade robe couldn't hide his excitement, and walked into the room, the haggard face of the beautiful princess on the Xiangfei couch had a faint smile, and the nurse in front of the couch was coaxing the little prince who was crying.
"Lord Wang!" After the nurse bowed down and saluted, she handed the little prince to the prince, and the smile on the face of the old prince was even worse.
"Yu'er, thank you for your hard work" The princess walked aisle, and Xiangfei held the princess's hand tightly in front of the couch.
The princess shook her head happily, looked at the little master in the nurse's hand, and said with a slight smile, "The prince has half of the country and eighteen daughters, but he has always regretted that he did not inherit the son of the family business, and now the sky has opened his eyes and given the prince a son, and the concubine is also at ease, otherwise the concubine will really feel guilty for a lifetime."
"Princess, give the little prince a name" The clever maid looked at the happy prince and princess, and she was also infected.
"En!" the prince pondered for a while, and said, "My Dayan Kingdom has been in drought for seven years, and today is the season of Gu rain, but there is no precipitation, since this kid is a gift from God, I hope to bring good luck to my Dayan Kingdom, just call him Yu'er, Xiao Yu"
Xiao Yu was speechless, stood on the Rainbow Bridge and looked back, and was forcibly thrown into the house of the regent of the Great Yan Kingdom, and became a little prince.
Xiao Yu grew up day by day, read with the prince since he was a child, read the book of sages, and at the age of eighteen, he married the five goddaughters of King Zhennan, Li Qingyao, Caifeng, Lin Xian'er, Shangguan Wan'er, and Ding Yao. Xiao Yu fell in love with a group of wives and concubines, held hands and held white heads, and after a hundred years, they all made ancient times.
Xiao Yu devoted himself to a poor family, a family of three wandering on the river, fishing for a living, Xiao Yu fishermen and woods, ten years of cold windows. In the end, he won the fame and was in a high position, and he was finally able to return to his hometown to marry the five childhood sweethearts in the same village, Li Qingyao, Caifeng, Lin Xian'er, Shangguan Wan'er, and Ding Yao.
Helplessly, when the court Zaifu took a fancy to Xiao Yu and wanted Xiao Yu to be his own son-in-law, Xiao Yu and the five ladies fell in love since childhood, and would rather die than obey, so they were framed by the court officials, imprisoned, and finally beheaded at the noon gate, and the five beauties were grief-stricken and committed suicide by throwing themselves into the river.
He also devoted himself to the helplessness of the market, tasted the warmth and coldness of human feelings, and drank the coldness of the world.
He also devoted himself to the transformation of the outside as a walker, walking day by day, stepping on thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, passing by tens of millions of people's homes, measuring the world with footsteps, measuring people's hearts, measuring the red dust of the palace, measuring the quicksand and yellow dust, and finally listening to the evening drum and morning bell, accompanied by the ancient Buddha of the green light.
He was also a butcher, slaughtering six animals and five birds, and slaughtering all the gratuitous years.
He is also an executioner, with a knife in his hand, dominating yin and yang.
For the judge, sentence life and death, and sentence parting.
For generals, for armor, for hunters, for scholars, for emperors and generals, for the peddlers and pawns to reincarnate again and again, to see all the prosperity and fall, to see through the red and pink dry bones, to see through the cycle of life and death, to see through the withered glory.
In the blink of an eye, it has been 10,000 years, Xiao Yu has long been beyond life and death, he has long been disheartened, closed his eyes and sat dry, his vitality gradually lost, and finally a lifeless corpse fell heavily on the rainbow bridge.
On the other side, he sighed, "Ten deaths are tribulated, ten deaths are lifeless, life is death, death is life, and no one in the world can escape the door of life and death"
Xiao Yu, who was exhausted of life, quietly floated on the Huangquan Road, and the stone tablet of the underworld was getting farther and farther away from Xiao Yu, and the surrounding ghosts and ghosts were surging towards Xiao Yu one after another.
Am I dead?" Xiao Yu asked himself over and over again. It turns out that this is the case, the door of life and death, the door of life and death, life is death, death is life, but unfortunately I understood it too late.
Suddenly, two bull-headed horse-faced Soul Seekers blocked Xiao Yu's way. "Xiao Yu, your longevity is over, come with us"
"Hmph" Xiao Yu suddenly snorted coldly, "The deity is the co-master of the Six Realms, the Supreme of the Eastern Emperor, who can decide the life and death of the deity, get out" With Xiao Yu shouting, a huge dark black bell flew over the underworld, and a puff of sun and moon sprinkled the entire Huangquan Road, only to hear a miserable scream, all the unjust ghosts who approached Xiao Yu were all turned into ashes.
Xiao Yu woke up and turned around, and the women were still asleep.
This is a huge square, in the center of the square there is a three-foot high platform, on the high platform there is a stone platform, on the stone platform is placed a seven-string guqin.
The square is pentagonal, each corner stands up a large hall, and on the lintel of the main hall is written 'gold, wood, water, fire, earth' five strong characters. There is a faint esoteric aura flowing slowly on the font.
Hall of the Five Elements?
