Chapter 16. It's Good to Live
I only remember that I entered the dark gate with Emperor Song at that time, and there was still a stone platform inside. But the surrounding environment had completely changed. This was a stone platform suspended in the starry sky world of thousands of universes. The middle of the stone platform was shrouded by a colorful light column. Several kings of hare stood around the light column. When I saw me coming, they let me walk into the light column. I was a little hesitant whether to listen to them in. I was afraid that something unexpected would appear. The king of hare who had been sitting on the stone chair said to me: Don’t be afraid, little kid, this light column will not hurt you, you just need to stand inside, close your eyes and calm down, and we will do the rest.
When I was in this colorful and psychedelic light, I didn't feel uncomfortable, and I became a little braver. I saw the ten kings of Hell standing with me and the light column as the center, and then each took turns spitting out a mouthful of white mist from their mouths and attached to the master's black scroll! The white mist slowly covered the scroll like a liquid that could be controlled. Suddenly the scroll flew towards me like a living, and the sudden scene made me unable to react. The black scroll entered
The light column stretched infinitely behind me and surrounded me. Seeing the black silk scroll being extended and rotating closer and closer to me, I instinctively wanted to struggle. But the more I struggled, it became tighter and tighter. I felt very panicked, and I felt like I was about to suffocate. I was thinking, they were planning to kill me while the master was not there, right? It hurts, but it was uncomfortable! Master, help me, help me... until the black silk scroll wrapped and suffocated me, I knew nothing.
The window is filled with glittering light, the breeze brings the fragrance of flowers, and it feels so good to be awake.
The master fed a bowl of unknown medicine into my mouth. I don’t know how long I had been sleeping. I only knew that when I woke up, I kept calling him a liar, a big liar, and it would not hurt. He didn’t refute me, and he always looked at me with a smile on his face. He sat aside and said, “As my disciple Bai Yan, why are you afraid of? Even your little body hurts, and you are training you and tempering your mind and endurance. I said that the master also said that there will be a little pain, but who knows that you are so useless and can’t stand it.
Damn, master, can you still be more shameless? How could I stand up when I couldn’t even breathe? I had already fainted twice after I came here, so how could I say it?
"Okay, OK, isn't this okay? You have a rest first, and you will fulfill your promise to send you back later." The master walked out after saying that. I lay on the bed and kept thinking about the scene after I got here. I still feel like I was dreaming. I don't know if I was drowning and someone was dragged ashore. Do my parents know? They should be very sad, and Wang Jiao, Wang Yu, Li Gang and Navy are doing now? They should be scared, right? I have been here for a long time and have been unconscious twice in the middle. Who knows how long I have been unconscious. No, I have to go back quickly. What if I can't survive? I don't want to die.
Huh? Where is my shoes? No matter what, I walked out of the room with barefoot and saw the master standing outside the house and looking at the mountains in the distance. Everything outside was still not changed. There was indeed no difference between day and night here. The master turned to look at me and said with a smile, "Why, my good disciple can't wait to go back?" I ran to him and looked up and said, "Master, you promised me, I have finished the work, I will be your disciple, you can take me back, I really don't want to die, I'm afraid that I can't go back if I'm too late."
The master did not answer my words, but took out something from his cuffs and looked at me. This was a piece of something like a pendant and a brand. The master said it was a pass token of the underworld. Mortals cannot enter and exit the underworld at will without death. With this thing, you can enter and exit unobstructedly. Except for some special places, you can pass through it. After that, they didn't care whether I wanted or not, and forced them into my body. The small sign disappeared as soon as it penetrated my skin!
I said, Master, what did you do to me? Could it be that you put something poisonous into my body? Master smiled and said, "Don't worry, this token will be fine if it is blended with your soul body. It is just a passport of the breath of the soul. After hearing his words, I said unhappily; No, Master, are you planning to come so often in the future? Do I want to come back again? I saw Master say seriously; Of course, you are my Bai Yan's disciple, so you will naturally come to see me often in the future. I have many things not taught to you. This is your first time here, so Master has just developed your foundation for the time being. I will slowly teach you other things in the future, and by the way, I will take you to appreciate the beautiful scenery of the underworld one by one!
As soon as he said this, I became anxious, and I quickly explained, "No need, Master, I'd better not come in the future. You see, I can't fly, and I don't even know how to get down, so let's forget it. The master laughed when he heard it, and then continued, "Don't be afraid, the master has already consecrated the spirit of your soul, so the potential of your soul body itself has been awakened, and it will be much more convenient for your soul to leave the body in the future. There are many things you don't know yet, so the master will naturally have a way to let you go down and continue to learn.
I said to my master excitedly, "Damn, Master, you are so strong?" From now on, I will be pulled down by you at any time. Will people think I am a crazy person? The master continued, of course, I won't ask you to come down casually, only when the time is right. Also, you have to keep silent about these things in the world and can't tell others about them. If I know about them, I will punish you. After that, without waiting for me to react, I waved my hand and waved a black vortex, and an invisible force pulled me to fly into the middle of the vortex. The master's voice came from behind me and said: It's easy to leave, remember what my master said, don't be lazy to do evil in the sun, otherwise my master will punish you too. Then, there is no more...
After Bai Yan sent me away, he turned into a meteor and flew towards Xiluo Peak. In the cave, the master leaned over and bowed before saying to the depths of the darkness. As you wish, the contract has been attached to him, and I have sent him away. Are you at ease now?
The woman's voice came from the depths of the darkness and said, "Aren't you at ease? After all, you are your apprentice. Just send it away. I hope he can walk the path he wants in the future.
Bai Yan continued, "Don't you want him to continue following the path you pointed out?"
The sound from the cave came again; what if I keep walking, what can I do? Wasn't it the same back then? It was because of my willfulness and ignorance that I thought he was the best, but what was the result?
Bai Yan said, "Miss, don't blame yourself. You were also for his own good back then. Bai Yan looked at me and thanked you for your kindness for my disciple. Since the contract has taken effect, I will return it to you, Bai Yan will go back first. After Bai Yan said that, he put the black scroll on the ground and turned around and left. With the breeze, the scroll flew towards the depths of the darkness. As the cave gate slowly fell, everything returned to peace. Only the person in the dark continued to say, if I chose the way, would you still go?
Of course, I wouldn't know these things anymore. I only know that with the black vortex called by the master, I fell into darkness again. In the darkness, I heard someone calling my name, someone calling something, and someone crying. My eyes were wide open, and the sun was a little dazzling.
Wake up, you see he woke up, Xiaolin woke up. What caught my eye was my mother's crying face with rain. My father stood by and smiled with relief. And my friends, they also stood by and felt relieved. My younger brother Xiaoyong was pulled by other adults and refused to come forward. My cousin and cousin and several relatives actually came. My goodness, it seems that it was a big mess. I instinctively choked and vomited it out, and my body gradually regained consciousness. My mother hugged me with heartache and started crying again, crying while crying. She kept scolding me, and everything was so ugly. But I was so happy, really happy. I was afraid of losing these relatives, these friends, and everything that I couldn't explain.
It's great to be alive, isn't it?
Later I realized that I was drowning and sinking. Old Wang and Li searched for a long time before fishing me up. Everyone who knew about it ran over to rescue me, and their parents were also called back from the ground. It took me more than half an hour from drowning and coma to waking up. The old people said that I was lucky and I would never die if I did this. The King of Hell would not accept it and send it back.
I have really seen the King of Hell, but I still came alive. I originally thought that the things I experienced after drowning were just a dream. Although they were very real, I still thought it was just a dream. It was not until I was taken back by some inexplicable people while I was sleeping that I realized that this was not a dream. Yes, in the days that followed, the master asked someone to pull me back. What’s strange is that every time I went to the underworld, I felt like I had only been asleep for an hour or two when I came back. From the initial three or five times a year to the ten times a year when I was about to graduate from junior high school, it was basically less and less. Why, just like the master said, because I basically knew what I should learn, and the rest was to slowly consolidate and grow and cultivate. Of course, as the master said, I didn’t tell anyone else, including my family.
