It was like a heavy rain falling, and Lu Ran was that rain.
When he woke up again, he found himself in a vast white void.
A patch of white, lots and lots of white.
After walking in a daze for a long time, he discovered a mountain. To be more precise, it was a statue dressed in white, standing tall and reaching as far as the eye could see.
Apart from this, there is nothing else around. Lu Ran called several times, but no one answered, so he had no choice but to climb up the giant statue. Halfway up, he realized that it seemed to be a figure sitting cross-legged, and Lu Ran, at this time, happened to be "it" on the left leg.
Counting the time, he had been crawling for a long time. He wanted to take a rest, so Lu Ran lay down on the spot.
Wherever he looked, the colossus was lifelike. Its hair was as thick as a well rope, and it seemed to still have some warmth. Lu Ran couldn't help but reach out and rub the surface of the colossus.
Only then did he realize that not only were his hands restored to their original state, but his body was no longer the empty phantom it had been before.
Even the weakness he had felt for many days was gone.
It seems that it is appropriate for a person's karma to disappear.
Just where am I now? Where will I go?
Forget it, I'll make a decision after I climb to the top and look around.
Thinking like this, Lu Ran suddenly felt a little urgent to urinate, and he didn't avoid people, so it was easier to unbutton his pants.
Just as he took out the thing, he suddenly felt something touching the back of his head. He didn't care and just started on his own, muttering: "Don't make trouble, it's convenient for me..."
Halfway through the water, a sudden gust of wind hit him. Lu Ran couldn't take care of it at this time. When he turned around, he saw a huge hand coming to pick up the back of his neck. Lu Ran exclaimed, "It's already." After being lifted up, water was still gushing down from below, and it suddenly spilled everywhere.
"You brat, why are you so rude?" The big hand lifted him into the air and threw him into the palm of the other hand. The palm of his hand slowly rose. Lu Ran saw a huge face with a half-open eye. The giant eyes looked at him like an ant, and the solemn voice like a bell came from the mouth of the giant face.
Lu Ran was so frightened that he almost collapsed, and could hardly help but splash out of the water again. Lu Ran had never been afraid of anything before, but now he was so scared that he covered his eyes and shouted: "Don't eat me! Don't eat me! I It stinks! I do stink!"
The giant's hand shook back and forth in the air for a few times, as if he was looking for a suitable distance to talk to Lu Ran. Finally he stopped and said to Lu Ran: "Okay. Smelly baby, just open your eyes. I I won’t eat you.”
Lu Ran tried to calm down, and suddenly thought in his mind, I am already dead, what should I be afraid of if I am dead? If I am not afraid, what should I be afraid of, so he slowly opened his eyes.
After just one glance, his eyes could no longer leave the giant's face.
This colossus actually has a real face.
Her hair was covered in a scruffy bun.
The face was a bit innocent like a child, a bit casual like a young man, and a bit compassionate like an old man. This made Lu Ran very surprised. This face was obviously a human face, but it gave people a feeling of "not a human". .
This is probably a god.
A face that is both young and weathered. Youth is the appearance, vicissitudes are the expression, eyes are silent, and profound and unknowable.
Like a big river. No, it looks like a glacier.
Yes, these eyes were like glaciers. This word suddenly popped into Lu Ran's mind. Although he had never seen ice and snow, he could not find a more suitable word to describe it.
This glacier is a glacier that has experienced hundreds of millions of winters.
Just like the turbid sea that Lu Ran had seen, just like the water in this world, it was flowing and ancient.
It is also eternal.
"Go back." Those eyes suddenly overflowed with spring water, and the giant opened his mouth and said.
"Go back?" Lu Ran asked foolishly, "Where are you going back? Where is this?"
The giant smiled and said: "This place is called 'Taixu', the land of the dead. If you want to go back, of course you have to return to the human world, to the land of the living."
"Then who are you?" Lu Ran asked again.
"Didn't I just say that the place of death is 'Taixu', and I am 'Taixu', so I am a dead person."
"Oh, my name is Lu Ran. I was a bit indecent just now. I offended you." Lu Ran was hesitating to say something else. He looked up and suddenly saw a fairyland-like existence in the void above the giant, with golden light shining, towers and palaces. , Qionglou Yuyu, there is a huge Tianmen, with the word "Bliss" clearly visible on the door.
Lu Ran was immediately attracted, and he pointed his hand. The golden light of the fairyland was even brighter, as if he was also invited.
Lu Ran's thoughts moved, and he saw a few meteors bursting out from the fairyland, like fireworks blooming. If he looked carefully, he saw that they were not flying out, but flying into it.
"I'm not going back, I'll just go there. It seems pretty good there." Lu Ran said.
The giant shook his head and said two words lightly: "No."
"Why? Is it because I did...uh...one, two, three, four, five...five bad things?" Lu Ran opened his fingers and counted them carefully.
"Good people can go there, bad people can go there, but you can't go there."
"I don't care! I'm a dead man, can't I go wherever I want?" Before he finished speaking, Lu Ran was eager to try and jump out of the giant's palm.
"You can't go, it's fate." Lu Ran saw the giant's other hand raised and stopped above his head.
"Just like if I clap my hands now, you will be wiped out." The giant said again.
"Are you, you, you, are you threatening me? Or is it that the so-called 'Bliss', which seems flashy, is actually... also turned into ashes?" Lu Ran said urgently, but his eyes were looking at the golden fairyland.
While he was talking, several more flying lights came in quickly.
Taking another closer look, I could only see that in the fairyland, the sun and moon were shining brightly, the stars were shining brightly, auspicious clouds abounded, and neon lights were everywhere.
I also saw that the city was like a jade mountain, the roads were like the fabric of the sky, the chariots and horses were like dragons, and the lights were like running sundials.
We also saw the Golden House, the Ivory Tower, and the Crystal Palace.
I saw many beautiful statues and paintings, with expressive and hopeful expressions on their faces, all of which were filled with ups and downs.
Treasures, scenic spots, exotic beasts, gods...all kinds of things you can think of, things you can't imagine, rare things in the world and beautiful things for people, they are all endless.
Lu Ran almost couldn't help it, and was about to fly in, but the giant's giant hand actually took a picture at this time, and the fairyland was blocked. Lu Ran knew it was not good, and immediately reached out to block it.
"Why, aren't you afraid?" The giant smiled contemptuously.
"I'm not afraid. I'm a dead person. What should I be afraid of? The worst I can do is die again!" Lu Ran shot back.
The mantis' arm is like a chariot. The ruthless giant hands were like two mountains, trying to squeeze Lu Ran into pieces.
"Hey, I died in the sea. When I go back, won't I still be in the sea and still dead?"
"My hands are disabled, and I don't want to go back to being disabled!"
"I have a reason not to go back. If I go back, I won't be able to take revenge!"
The crushing continued, and Lu Ran was unable to resist at all.
"Hey, I see you're quite lonely here. How about I stay here with you and we can be company?"
"Hey, don't you make any sense?"
"Hey, is it all ashes, or is there nothing left?"
The giant's hands would close with just a little more force.
Lu Ran could hardly feel his body anymore, and even his voice was almost flat, flat and slow.
"Y-no-y-don't-have-a-choice?"
"Okay, okay, I'll go back."
"Okay." Lu Ran, who was about to be crushed, was almost blown away by the wind.
The giant hand stopped and put it down. Lu Ran saw that he was like a deflated balloon, slowly inflating and puffing up his skin, and then he came back to life.
"One... one question." Lu Ran gasped.
There was light in the giant's eyes, and the spring water turned into autumn water.
"What do you want me to do when you go back? Do you want me to do something for you?"
"Pick a flower, love someone, make a few friends, and have a hundred and eight thousand dreams."
"Be a good person, be a fool, be a fairy, be a wonderful person."
"Be a villain, be a devil, be a person who brings disgrace to the world."
"You can sell cakes, carry dung, sell your sex, or be someone else's horse. You can do it as long as you like."
"Where did you come from? Go back to where you came from. Go back and be a different person again."
"Aha? How could things get worse and worse? Do you have such persuasive advice?" Lu Ran couldn't believe that these words came from the mouth of a god-like "giant".
"Then how do I go back? If you want me to go back, you have to give me some benefits, right?" At this moment, Lu Ran didn't forget to bargain.
"You have too many problems. You must leave immediately. You cannot stay in my 'Taixu' or go to 'Bliss'."
"Uh...then there are a few more questions..."
"Last question." The giant's palm was raised again.
"..." Lu Ran was speechless for a moment. He saw the giant's eyes through his palms and suddenly felt very familiar, as if they had met not long ago, and as if they had known each other hundreds of millions of years ago.
"Okay, then the last question." Lu Ran asked: "Who are you?"
"I am Xie Qiao."
The giant clasped his hands together, and as soon as he finished answering, the giant threw Lu Ran into the void.
Lu Ran only felt like a pebble being thrown out, flying, turning into another heavy rain, a rain of light, a rain of light flying on the way back.
"From now on, you will never die again."
"Is this a benefit?"
The giant smiled, sat cross-legged, and instantly turned into a statue again.
