Chapter65 God's Dice

To me, God is just a roll of the dice.But God just rolls his dice, it's up to me how much chips to bet on.

01

St. Swan Lake, the wind blows across the lake.Huang Xuanjin put his hands in his pockets and looked at the distant clouds in Corinth.The whistle of the pier broke through the clouds and fog.

"I remembered why I felt that red mark was very familiar." He looked back at Visipel beside him and said, "Taoist talisman, the formula of longevity. There was a time when alchemy was popular in Donghuang, and I was in my I have seen the talismans used by the celestial master in my uncle's study."

"You're saying that the fire that year was caused by someone trying to live forever," Wihipel said.

Huang Xuanjin nodded, stepped on the railing beside the Holy Swan Lake, and walked along the railing.Afraid that he would fall, Vichypel held out his hand to him.Huangxuanjin didn't pass his hand over, but just hung his hand over Wisipel's hand, and continued to walk forward stepping on the railing.

"It's been 30 years, and the beautiful girl should die with her face." Huang Xuanjin said: "The invitation letter in Soul Realm said that the greatest drama will be staged again, but we have already missed the beginning. It seems that the show 30 years ago There will be another fire."

"Those dead men are probably the prologue." Huang Xuanjin said.

"Are you going to attend the final curtain?" Vehipel raised his head slightly and looked at the boy walking on the railing.

"We've already received the invitation letter, so I'm afraid we won't be able to be absent." Huangxuanjin said, he looked at the mist in the distance and his figure was a little shaken, and Vehipel held his hand.

"But we don't even know where this drama is going to be staged now," Wischpel said.

"He will let us know. After so many careful arrangements, how could he endure the fact that no one came to see him at the end." Huang Xuanjin jumped off the railing holding Wisipel's hand.

"Where are we going next?" Vichypel asked.

"Isn't it Moonwatching Day today?" Huang Xuanjin asked.

Vichypel nodded.

"To San Rafael Hospital."

"What's wrong with you?" Vichypel asked.

"Don't worry, I'm fine, it's just a routine inspection. Since I was canonized as a major general of the empire, Isabel is afraid that I will die alone on the black tower, so I have to go to San Rafael every month Hospital, to be examined by Dr. Norton."

As Huang Xuanjin said, he walked towards the station of the rail car, and Wihipel followed behind him.

"Your Highness, there is no need to come here." Huang Xuanjin said.

"Can't I go over there?" Vichypel asked.

Huang Xuanjin shrugged, "All right."

Two people waited beside the license plate, Huang Xuanjin raised his head, his half-length black hair was blown by the wind.He turned around and saw two little girls who were also waiting for the bus looking at them.So he smiled at the two girls, like a street ruffian flirting with girls.

The two girls immediately turned their heads and stopped looking this way.

Wihipel turned around and pulled Huangxuan Jin to his side, and buttoned the shirt in front of the young man.

"They are probably looking at you." Huang Xuanjin said.

"how do you know."

"Because my brother is much prettier than me." Huang Xuanjin raised his head and smiled, looking at Vichypel who was tying a tie for him.

The roar of the railcar running over the rails in the distance came through the clouds and mist, and Huang Xuanjin turned his head to look at the steam exhaled by the railcar at the front of the car.

Wischpel tied the boy's black tie, stepped on the rail car, and threw two silver coins into the coin slot.

The two sat on the seats on the rail car, Huang Xuanjin looked at the scenery outside the window for a while, and looked at the two girls sitting opposite him for a while.Those peach blossom eyes were not idle.

When the two arrived at San Rafael Hospital, Dr. Norton was busy, so Huang Xuanjin went directly to Norton's operating room and lay down on the bed in the operating room.

To be honest, apart from the fact that the medical equipment next to it looked too cold, this bed was quite comfortable.

He was familiar with this place. Back then, Norton treated him like a guinea pig and tossed him a lot.

Wihipel was waiting outside the room, and could only watch the boy lying on the bed through the glass window.

After dealing with the matter at hand, Norton came over with the medicine box, which contained the injection given to him by Isabel.In the past, Huang Xuanjin gave himself an injection on the black tower alone, but now he has become a major general of the empire after all, and Isabel doesn't want any more trouble.So he was thrown to Norton directly.

"How's your sleep?" Norton pushed the needle filled with red liquid into the blood vessel on Huang Xuanjin's arm.

"It's still the same as before."

"That means I still can't sleep all night." Norton pulled out the needle, picked up the next injection, and looked at the air, "This injection may be a bit irritating, bear with it."

"Don't worry, I understand." Huang Xuanjin said.

"Every time I get an injection, my body feels very hot." Huang Xuanjin said looking at the ceiling.

"That's because your body is at war," Norton said.

"fight?"

"Yeah, our bodies fight all the time, and it only loses once in the end. It's just to keep rotten people like you alive for a while longer."

"Then I really feel sorry for my body. It is fighting so desperately, but I just live in chaos."

"It doesn't matter." Norton put away the empty syringe, "Anyway, everyone has their own way of life."

Huang Xuanjin smiled, and suddenly saw a five or six-year-old girl next to Norton's laboratory table, timidly hiding and looking at her.

"That girl is my guinea pig, just like you were," Norton said.

"what is it call?"

"157," Norton said

"It's really casual."

"155 is a parrot, which is dead, and 156 is a sheep, which is still kept in my laboratory outside. She was originally a patient here, and she had some problems with her heart and blood. After a period of treatment, her mother put She was thrown here, and no one could be found. So I asked her to come here." Norton said in a flat tone.

"I still remember that woman screaming in the hospital hall when she almost collapsed: Is it only me who is in such pain, is it only me!" Norton said with a smile again.

He tilted his head, as if remembering the woman who fell to the ground in the crowded hospital hall and shouted loudly regardless of the people around her: "Is it... I am the only one in pain!"

……is not it.

"Don't know what her name is?" Huang Xuanjin asked.

"I'm not interested in knowing." Norton put away the medicine box, "Your leg injury is still not healed, I'll go get the medicine." Then he left the room.

Watching Norton leave, Huangxuan Jin hooked his fingers to the little girl, "Come here."

The little girl picked up the doll on the ground and ran over like a puppy.

Huang Xuanjin lifted up the girl's sleeve, looked at the dense needle holes on the girl's arm, "Does it hurt?"

The girl still nodded timidly.

The girl boldly said again: "The sister nurse told me that I will be fine when I grow up."

"It won't be fine." Huang Xuanjin said.

The girl didn't speak, but raised her head to look at Huangxuan Jin, her eyes were like egg flowers.

"But my sister told me to persevere." The girl said in a low voice: "You must work very hard to live. Even if you have to take a lot of medicine every day, even if the injections are painful, you must work hard to persevere."

"Oh, let's do it." Huang Xuanjin said, and then rolled down from the bed, "Tell Norton, I still have something to do, so I'm leaving first."

Huang Xuanjin walked outside the door, "Let's go, I want to go to the Creation Library."

"Is the inspection over?" Wischpel asked.

Huang Xuanjin nodded.

02

Today is the closing day of the Genesis Library, and only a few administrators in charge of arranging books walk around in the huge library.

"I remember I saw the record about the fire that year. But I didn't pay attention to it when I read it. I just glanced at it." Huang Xuanjin said.

He scanned the spine of the books on the bookshelf with his fingers, took out a modern history of Vanner, flipped through a few pages, put it back, and continued to search in the bookshelf.

Wihipel looked at the young man, and remembered the time when the young man first arrived in Westland.

"I forgot where that book is." Huang Xuanjin said, and then boredly picked up a book on the next shelf and looked at it.

"Brother, if it were you, why would you pursue eternal life?" Huang Xuanjin asked suddenly.

Wihipel looked back at the boy, but did not speak.

Huangxuanjin didn't continue to ask, but said to himself: "I used to look at the scriptures in the Sutra Pavilion of Weichen Temple. At that time, I suddenly hoped that I could have a long life, so that He can read all the scriptures and read all the scriptures."

"They all think the scriptures are boring, but I really like to read them. It's a pity that after several years, I only read half of the bookshelf. I have always wanted to read "Twelve Doors" by Nagarjuna Devas."

"Later, I went to my uncle's study room. There were many books in his study room. There were three thousand Taoist collections, three caves, four supplements and twelve categories. There were all kinds of strange books. I wished I could read them all. I had to enter the Huangxuan family at the age of ten. The Xuanji Building, the books collected by the previous heads of the Huangxuan family are all stored in the Xuanji Building, including swordsmanship and spear skills, secrets in the world, everything. When I was 13 years old, I went to the Genesis Library again. I suddenly understood that even if I have No matter how long life is, there is no way to read these books one by one."

"So what's the point of eternal life? This way, I can get as much as I can."

"I once met a person who wanted to travel to every dangerous mountain and giant water in Donghuang, and he wanted to spend his whole life seeing all the scenery in the world. But he would never know the silver fish in Auer Sea back in his whole life. They don’t even know that the icebergs in the Northern Territory have collapsed. Some people only drink a bowl of porridge and watch a river in their lifetime. But that is also a lifetime.”

"So why pursue eternal life? I know that I will die, so I can walk on this road with peace of mind. Because I know that one day I will not have to bear all this, and I can lie down and have a complete rest. "

"I know that I will die, which makes me feel at ease." Huang Xuanjin said.

"But when you die, there is nothing left." Wihipel said.

"So what." Huang Xuanjin leaned on the circular railing in the center of the Genesis Library, "All of this will disappear."

He looked at the giant eucalyptus growing in the center of the Genesis Library.

"This is the Genesis Library. The lowest level belongs to the gods, it is the revelation of the gods, and it is the remains of the gods. The uppermost level is the dusk of the gods, which is the final destruction."

"And the ones in the middle belong to humans!"

The young man spread his hands, as if standing under the light of the rising curtain.

He seemed to be reciting a recitative, without the pathos of an aria, but with a bit of epic grandeur.

"We have come from the afterglow of the gods, and we know that in the end we will go to the dusk, but we are still writing our history between this revelation and the dusk. Machinery, politics, art, history, alchemy, war. These are all Belonging to humans."

"Even though we know that dusk will come, and that everything will disappear after dusk, we are still creating everything recorded in this creation library."

Tang De often said that Wischpel stayed at the highest level of the Genesis Library for too long, and everything in this world became like a drama to him.

He is a god who looks down on all living beings from the clouds, so he should be high above.

As for that young man, he is a living being struggling from the mud.

He is in the play.It is the person who is sad and happy under the auditorium.

Just like the boy who once recited lines from a play in the ruined palace, perhaps to others, his life is nothing more than a line or two that he heard by chance, and no one can tell him A life from the beginning to the end.

"Brother, do you believe in fate?" Huang Xuanjin asked standing under the huge eucalyptus tree.

"What about you?" Vehipel asked.

"I don't know if that thing really exists." The young man said, "For me, God is just a dice thrower. But God just rolls his dice. It's up to me how much chips to bet on."
