"In ancient times, this wine also had a name, Qiongjiang Jade Dew." Mr. Bai said with a smile, "Do you know why Penglai is called a fairyland by the people here?"
"I don't know." I shook my head.
"Because of the ignorance of the ancients, in fact, Penglai Immortal Island is just a person who is isolated from the world. In ancient times, some people were not allowed to enter Penglai. They were so shocked that they went out and made up a series of legends about Penglai Immortal Island. What else is there?
The Heavenly Court and the Jade Emperor were all made up by those people after they entered Penglai." Mr. Bai added: "And Westerners are the same, calling this place the Garden of Eden, and calling the Lord of Fairyland God."
"All the ancient myths and stories are about Penglai Fairy Island?" I asked in surprise.
Mr. Bai smiled slightly: "Not all, but most of them, because Penglai does not always appear in Japan, but also appears in other places in the world.
"Then what do you mean by this?" I asked doubtfully.
Mr. Bai stretched his arms and said, "I just want to tell you the truth about Penglai, because I think you are the most suitable person for this trip."
"Suitable?"
"Well, yes, it's suitable. You also know the existence of fate, right?" Mr. Bai picked up the wine glass, took a sip of wine and said: "Destiny appeared a long time ago. As soon as fate appears, he will make the world chaotic.
For example, the demise of the Shang Dynasty, the Qin Dynasty, the Han Dynasty, and the demise of each dynasty are actually inextricably linked to fate."
I said nothing and continued to listen.
"Destiny is a theater watcher. He likes to watch theater. But if the world is peaceful, will the theater be good to watch? Just like your human TV series. If the protagonist just eats, sleeps, eats, sleeps, there will be no waves or crises in life.
, is this TV series good to watch?" Mr. Bai smiled and said: "This is fate. As long as the world becomes peaceful, he will try every means to destroy it. For example, Zhao Gao, who accelerated the demise of the Qin Dynasty, was controlled by fate.
puppet."
"There are thousands of fortunes in our world. These fortunes are created to fight against fate. I don't know one year, maybe a long, long time ago, the fortunes condensed to a very high level and turned into me, Penglai." Mr. Bai drank.
He took a sip of sake and continued: "After I appeared in Penglai, I was born to fight against fate."
"Aren't you surprised?" Mr. Bai said with a smile: "You should also have heard from Zhang Xianzhong about the appearance of the four ancestors of zombies. Zombies are foreign objects that can exist outside the three realms and six realms. This world is
In a world controlled by fate, why does this foreign object appear? That is, the emergence of zombies was originally born to fight against fate."
"It's a pity that the Lord of Fairyland created the elixir and allowed these four zombies to appear. Unexpectedly, the ancestor-level zombies were not controllable by the Lord of Fairyland at all, and they would not be able to complete the task of fighting fate given by the Lord of Fairyland.
, Since then, the zombies have lost contact with my Penglai lineage, and have been allowed to develop on their own until now." When Mr. Bai said this, his face was full of regret: "The four ancestors of zombies were calculated by fate, and now three of them are dead.
The other one has not appeared for a thousand years, and I don’t know whether he is alive or dead now.”
"It sounds a bit mysterious to me." I smiled awkwardly.
Mr. Bai ignored me and continued: "Heroes emerge in troubled times. The so-called 'heroes' are those who gather all the fortunes of the world into one body and fight against fate. But in the battles between me and fate, I always lose more than I win."
"I think back then, Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, relied on his brute force to get the affirmation of luck and accumulated huge luck. However, when he was fighting with Liu Bang about luck, he was too loyal because he couldn't stand his beloved wife.
His death and the death of all his soldiers actually committed suicide. He is a man with the support of luck. If he crosses the Wujiang River and makes a comeback, he will definitely defeat Liu Bang." Mr. Bai sighed and said: "Lu Bu, the number one master in the Three Kingdoms, is amazing with his body.
Force was recognized by luck, but he had a pig's head and surrendered to Cao Cao, who was supported by fate. He wanted to seek a job under Cao Cao, but Cao Cao ordered him to be hanged."
"Well, Qi Luck's vision is not very good." I smiled awkwardly and said, "Peng Lai should be the one who chooses Qi Luck. In fact, it's not that your vision is not good, it's that they don't live up to expectations."
"Wrong." Mr. Bai shook his head: "Although our Penglai was originally transformed by luck, luck is very mysterious. The choice of the protagonist depends on luck itself, and our Penglai is just a tool to fight against fate.
, and do you really think that I, Penglai, float in the sky all year round to keep the so-called fairyland mysterious? We are afraid of being found by fate."
"Found by fate?" I asked doubtfully.
"Yes." Mr. Bai nodded: "Zheng He's three voyages to the West were actually controlled by fate and went to the sea to find me, Penglai."
After listening to what Mr. Bai said so much, I also understood the importance of Penglai. I frowned and said: "Destiny and luck have been fighting for thousands of years. In fact, there is nothing to fight for. Fate has always wanted to control us, but we people
, each one is under the control of fate."
"Wrong." Mr. Bai shook his head: "If fate really completely controls this world, then this world will definitely be in constant war."
"I've told you so much today, but it actually doesn't mean anything. I just want you to understand the history of Penglai." Mr. Bai stood up at this time: "Go back to rest early. By the way, I'm telling you today.
Things, don’t tell Ling Xiao and that boy named Guan Xu when you go back. Although they don’t have any malicious intentions, these things I mentioned are more or less my Penglai secrets.”
"Yes." I nodded and asked strangely: "By the way, Mr. Bai, why are you from Penglai? Aren't you one of the four demon kings?"
Mr. Bai listened to my words and laughed: "The four demon kings are just randomly sealed by the people in the world. I am actually not from Penglai. I just followed my master here hundreds of years ago.
"
"Master?" After hearing this, I looked at Mr. Bai strangely and asked, "Isn't your master the Immortal of Shifang?"
"Yes, the master of the fairyland is Shifang." Mr. Bai smiled and nodded.
When I heard him say this, I suddenly felt surprised. This surprise was no less than the many things Mr. Bai told me before. The Immortal of the Ten Directions is so dazzling, the ancestor of Mr. Yin and Yang, and five books.
It was written in the book, the owner of the ten magical instruments. Unexpectedly, this person turned out to be the owner of Penglai Wonderland.
