Chapter 371 Dream of Red Mansions - Jia Yingchun 42

Apart from a circle of fairy flowers and exotic plants outside, the entire Taixu Illusionary Realm only has the building where he is now. It is similar to a flower-shaped building, with a circular hall as the center. It extends from the inside to the outside and is symmetrically divided into eight adjacent courtyards. Each courtyard also has a small circular center in the center. Along this center are several rooms where fairies like the one he just came out of live.

Obviously according to this layout, the good things should be in the hall in the center. Jia Lang passed by the door of a similar fairy room and walked towards the hall in the middle with a clear goal.

According to the result of the spiritual power exploration, she is now in the southeast corner of the whole. Jia Lang doesn't dare to explore the most central location at all. She strongly suspects that it is the place where Fairy Jinghuan is in seclusion. She really doesn't dare to take the risk with her limited spiritual power.

Entering the center of the southeast corner, there is a hall with a plaque with the words "Death Suffering" inscribed on it. After Jia Lang entered, he found that it was a storeroom with many jade bottles filled with liquid medicine placed on it.

Jia Lang moved closer, held his breath, picked up a bottle and opened it. A burst of purple-red gas rushed towards Jia Lang. Caught off guard, Jia Lang was forced to feel the gas. Suddenly, he felt a pain in his body, as if he had been beaten severely. Jia Lang quickly put the cap back on.

After the painful feeling disappeared, Jia Lang breathed a sigh of relief. She checked the shelves again and soon found that there was a label on the shelf where the jade bottle she had just taken was placed. It read "Painful to death".

"Is this..."

Jia Lang had a guess in his mind and continued to check. There were labels on other shelves, some of which said "starved to death" and some said "frozen to death"...

"Death, eight directions, Fengyue Baojian?"

Could it be that this illusory world corresponds to the eight sufferings in the human world? The eight sufferings of life, also known as the eight sufferings of Buddhism, are a Buddhist term that refers to birth, aging, sickness, death, failure to obtain what one desires, meeting with enemies and those one hates, separation from loved ones, and the prevalence of the five aggregates.

The one just mentioned was the suffering of death, so the others should correspond to the other seven sufferings.

According to this logic, Fairy Jinghuan is in charge of the seven emotions and six desires of the human world. She needs all kinds of infatuated men and resentful women to help her practice, which is consistent with my guess.

According to the original plot, the person who replaced him in this world was Jia Yingchun, and the most tragic thing in Jia Yingchun's life was that she was beaten to death by Sun Shaozu, which exactly corresponded to the pain of death.

In "Dream of Red Mansions", the only person with a clear identity in the illusory world of Taixu is Qin Keqing, who calls herself the sister of Fairy Jinghuan. Before her death, she said that she had returned to the Taixu environment. So how did she return? Did she turn into a fairy again and eliminate the pain of her reincarnation to become the things in the jade bottle, or did she turn into that light together with her original body?

Jia Lang didn't dare to think about it too much, because according to this speculation, it would be very difficult to know what the raw materials of those wines, teas, incense, etc. were.

It seems that there is no need to explore the other seven directions for the time being, so we have to be bolder.

Jia Lang turned his gaze to the main hall in the center and decided to go in and take a look.

The good news was that the main hall in the center was unattended and Jia Lang could get in easily. The bad news was that the hall was divided into four parts and all the doors were closed. Jia Lang didn't know which room Fairy Jinghuan was in seclusion in.

After hesitating for a while, Jia Lang was really afraid that he would wake up if he continued to worry about it, so he decided to randomly pick the room on the north side and push the door open.

As soon as he entered the room, a fragrance hit him in the face. Jia Lang didn't dare to breathe. He stood by the door and waited for a long time. He only stepped in when he felt the fragrance was almost dissipated.

As soon as he entered, he turned around and saw a large carved bed. It was obvious that this should be the place where Fairy Jinghuan used to sleep. Jia Lang was a little surprised. Most people like to hide good things in their own rooms. If he looked carefully, he might find the good things hidden by Fairy Jinghuan.

Jia Lang searched quickly and first found a book called "A Dream of Red Mansions" on Jinghuan's bedside. When he opened it, what was displayed was not the content of the book, but a water mirror similar to a display screen. Thinking of the plot about "A Dream of Red Mansions" about "A Dream of Red Mansions", Jia Lang guessed that the picture on the water mirror should be exactly facing the picture reflected by that mirror.

Jia Lang had no use for this thing and planned to put it back to its original place. However, when he touched it, he suddenly found that the place where the Fengyue Baojian was originally placed felt very hard, which meant there must be something underneath.

Jia Lang lifted up the bed, and sure enough, there was something like a jade slip underneath. Following his habit of reading novels about cultivating immortals over the years, Jia Lang boldly placed the jade slip directly on his forehead, and a stream of information instantly flooded into Jia Lang's mind.

Jia Lang's head began to feel dizzy and painful, but it was obvious that the contents of the jade slip had not yet been fully transmitted. Jia Lang had no time to sort it out and could only grit his teeth and persevere.

It was unknown how long the message lasted, but just when Jia Lang's headache was so severe that he was about to collapse, the message finally stopped. Jia Lang's eyes went dark and he immediately passed out.

When he woke up, Jia Lang was already back in the carriage. The bustling sounds of the surrounding city began to reach Jia Lang's ears from far away. Jia Lang gradually woke up, feeling the pain in his temples and the contents of the jade slip in his mind. Jia Lang was finally sure that his previous experiences were real and not a dream.

"Master Lang San, we're here."

The servant driving the car suddenly reminded him. Jia Lang endured the headache and temporarily put aside the matter of sorting out the information on the jade slips. "Well, I understand."

After getting off the car, Jia's mother, Aunt Li and even Jia She had people waiting at the door. Jia Lang's face was pale and his forehead was full of sweat caused by the headache. When he saw the servants waiting for him, Jia Lang waved his hands, saying that he was too tired and asked them to go back and wait until he had rested before going over.

The servants no longer wanted to see Jia Lang's appearance but dared not force him to do so, so they had to go back and report.

After Jia Lang returned to his courtyard, he fell asleep again. When he woke up again, his headache was finally gone. Aunt Li was guarding by his bed and was very surprised to see Jia Lang wake up.

"Ji Lang, you're awake!"

"Auntie, I'm hungry." Jia Lang wanted to sit up, but found himself weak all over. Auntie Li saw this and hurried forward to support him. "The food has been prepared long ago, and we are just waiting for you to wake up and bring it in."

"Madam, the master has sent someone to check on you. I didn't dare to ask the doctor to take your pulse, so I have been staying by your bedside."

"Now that you are finally awake, Auntie will send someone to tell the old lady, Master."

Aunt Li said this lightly, but Jia Lang knew how much pressure she was under by not letting people in the mansion call the doctor and not letting servants approach him. If Jia Mu and Jia She didn't know some of the inside story and the reason why Aunt Li did this, Aunt Li would have been dragged away and locked up under other circumstances.
