Chapter 668: Darkness and Light
The demons are derived from the beast race, most of them are alien people, the fish monster and the basilisk are all middle-aged men, the fish monster is tall and short, fat head and big ears. The basilisk, on the other hand, is elongated and has a pointed beak with monkey gills.
At this time, the two were located in the area near the water due south and east, and Wu Zhongyuan was at the bottom of the mountainside due south, and the distance between the two sides was about 100 zhang away.
Fearing deception, the two monsters did not dare to approach easily, but just watched from a distance.
Wu Zhongyuan's screams were very poignant, rolling in pain, convulsions and struggling, but anyone with a little insight could see that he was not pretending, but that something was really wrong. But his cultivation is profound, and although the two demons have the intention to kill him for meritorious service, they are worried about being attacked by his violent surprise, so they hesitate and hesitate, so anxious.
"I don't think he's pretending. The fish monster shook his head and said.
"I don't think so, so go and see. "The basilisk pouted.
"Why don't you go?" the fish monster looked disgusted.
"I'll help you control the wind from here. The basilisk said.
"He's the only one on this island, what's the wind?" said the fish monster.
The basilisk raised his hand and pointed north, "Who said it's just him, isn't there a beauty in the high place?"
"That beauty is a fool, and it hurts no one," said the fish monster, "it would be better for us to go to the stone chamber and carry that beauty away, which is also a great achievement." β
The basilisk shook his head and said, "Don't be greedy, the stone chamber is located in a high place, if he deliberately deceives, how can we get out?"
In the impression of the world, the liars are all thin people with sharp-beaked monkey gills, but in fact, although this fish monster is very fat, but also very cunning, let the basilisk repeatedly pry, and do not approach easily, and finally rolled his eyes, and thought about it, "It's better to call the water lady to come over, she brought a bow and arrow, and shot him with an arrow." β
"That makes sense, I'll call her. The basilisk turned away.
The fish monster didn't dare to stay here alone, so he hurriedly followed, "I'll go with you." β
Wu Zhongyuan knew that the two demons were peeping from a distance, but in fact, the two demons had misestimated his strength, although they were a hundred feet apart, he was still sure that he would extend his aura to cover the two, but unfortunately he was in unbearable pain, and he couldn't help himself, and he couldn't even stand upright.
Not long after, the monster landed on the island again, this time it was three, in addition to the fish monster and the basilisk, there was also a small-eyed water mouse, this is a female mouse, very old, the hair on the body is gray, and the thick tail is flat.
This female mouse is undoubtedly the water lady that the two of them said before, this person is carrying a bow and arrow behind him, and after landing on the island, he tried to bend the bow to shoot him, these three monsters are all cultivated in the mountains, and the water lady can also shoot a hundred zhang, but the distance is too far, the accuracy is not enough, and Wu Zhongyuan has been rolling around, shooting three arrows in a row, but they have never hit.
"Sure enough, there was a deception, and I went earlier. Aunt Shui still bowed her back, turned around and left.
The fish monster hurriedly retreated, "It's so dangerous, I lost a lot of heart, otherwise I would have been deceived by him." β
The basilisk had many doubts, "Maybe it was just a chance to dodge, it is better to shoot him a few more arrows to distinguish the real from the fake." β
The water rat and the fish monster did not look back, and although the basilisk had doubts in his heart, he did not dare to continue to stay, and hurriedly followed the two into the water and left.
The fire dragon true qi does have a burning effect, but the burning is not selective, it will incinerate the turbidity and aura in the body together, it didn't take long for Wu Zhongyuan to start to smoke in the seven orifices, and at the same time, burning wounds of different sizes began to appear around the body, which were irregular circles, small as nails and soybeans, and large enough to be the size of a palm, fortunately, the fire was from the inside and outside, although the high temperature was hot, it did not ignite the clothes on the body.
There is no decay process when the fire dragon's true qi is burned, from the beginning to the end, the whole process lasts for about a quarter of an hour, and in this quarter of an hour, the fire qi does not decrease, and the pain will naturally not gradually decrease, until the fire dragon's true qi is exhausted, and the sharp pain in the heart of the cone will subside.
Worried that the monster would peep from a distance, Wu Zhongyuan had to support himself, stood up, and swept towards the waterhole where the Nine Leaf Qinglian had grown before, at this time, he must not show his fatigue and weakness, otherwise the monster would find out that something was indeed wrong with him.
When I got to the edge of the pool, I took off my clothes and examined the injuries, which can only be described as scaly wounds all over my body, which are unbearable, with at least dozens of burns of all sizes, in addition to the bumps and abrasions caused by severe pain and tumbling.
After advancing to the ninth order of Tiange, he has a certain self-healing ability, with the improvement of spiritual qi cultivation, the self-healing ability will become stronger and stronger, and the speed will be faster and faster, but the jade void cultivation is still a mortal fetus in the flesh after all, and there is turbidity in the body, and the speed of self-healing is relatively slow.
The use of fire dragon true qi to burn the turbid qi in the body is definitely effective, but the specific effect can only be assessed and determined after the wound heals, the bear clan's heaven and earth rebirth is to restore the external injury to the state before the injury, so it cannot be used to reincarnate the wound, but can only use the self-healing ability to heal slowly.
A whole pair, all the large and small wounds on the body healed, Wu Zhongyuan quietly perceived, estimated and compared, the turbidity in the body has indeed decreased, but it is difficult to quantify.
The process of rebirth is a process of replacement, and the fire dragon true qi is to accelerate this process, which is not the same as removing the good and storing the good, there is no way to selectively replace the bad with the good, you can only eliminate the good and the bad together, and then supplement it with the aura of heaven and earth.
Wu Zhongyuan's approach at this time can be regarded as a sword going sideways, but it cannot be regarded as opportunistic, because he did not pay less and get more, but only used the fire dragon true qi to shorten the process of eliminating turbidity, and while shortening the time, he paid the unbearable pain of ordinary people.
This kind of pain can no longer be described as unbearable by ordinary people, that is, he has never experienced it again, just thinking about it makes Wu Zhongyuan shudder, stunned, heart-wrenching, it hurts, the temples on both sides of the pain are swollen, the five organs of pain are spasmed, the whole body is cramping, the feeling of cramps has been experienced by many people, just a moment is enough to make people grin, but he has to endure a full quarter of an hour, and the degree of pain is several times that of cramps.
It was noon when the injury was fully healed, but Wu Zhongyuan did not pluck up the courage to do the same until the evening, and this time he did not choose to do it from the grass house, but moved more than ten zhang south.
If he doesn't move south, those monsters may try to attack again, but if he moves, the monsters don't even dare to show their heads, and the signs of luring the enemy are too obvious to be fooled by him.
Wu Zhongyuan is not the first time to deal with the demons.,For the demons have an understanding.,In modern terms, the biggest feature of the demon clan is that there is no moral bottom line.,There is no loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness in the eyes.,It's an extreme beast.,Murderous,Cruel,Cunning,Suspicious,This is the character traits of the demons.,In addition, they are also afraid of death.,Very sorry for their lives.,Put your life first.,In order to survive,,Anything can be doneγ
There is an old saying that there is no unbearable sin, only the blessing that cannot be enjoyed, roughly what does it mean that people will gradually get used to some negative things, but in fact this is not true, the second time he experienced the pain of burning, Wu Zhongyuan did not feel that the pain was reduced in any way compared to yesterday, or burned inside, and fell to the ground in pain.
In this quarter of an hour, he could not even think normally, the only thing he could do was shout loudly, yesterday he was howling and shouting, today he shouted "I can't die." It was the only thing that could give him some peace of mind when he was in unbearable pain, and as long as he could not die, the suffering would pass sooner or later.
Every time he released the true qi of the fire dragon, Wu Zhongyuan had the illusion that he had died once, and only when the fire qi subsided could he rethink, he had already experienced it once yesterday, why was it still so painful today.
After a little thought, I understood the reason, as the turbidity in the body decreased, the release of the fire dragon true qi must also increase, otherwise it would not be able to continue to burn the remaining turbidity.
On the third day, Wu Zhongyuan did not release the fire dragon true qi again, but rolled over from the island and shouted, his purpose was to lure the monster to attack, and then try to capture and kill, but the monster did not take the bait.
At night, Wu Zhongyuan never slept, he was introspecting, deeply introspecting, reflecting on why he pretended to lure the enemy during the day, whether he really wanted to lure the enemy, or to find excuses and reasons for himself, and did not want to experience that inhuman pain again.
The result of introspection is the latter, that is, to be afraid, and then find excuses for yourself to escape.
Self-deception is a common disease in the world, and he is no exception, he will do everything possible to make excuses for what he doesn't want to do.
A point of hard work and a point of harvest, this is the eternal truth, you have to know how much you have paid, you can't pretend to work hard, you pay a point, you get a point, you will not become more for no reason.
You can't be a lazy person, let alone make excuses for your laziness, otherwise you will become more and more lazy, until you are finally looked down upon, unable to protect your family, and unable to fight back and deal with it when you are despised and offended.
Thinking of this, Wu Zhongyuan immediately released the fire dragon true qi and made up for the missing time during the day, still screaming miserably, or like entering purgatory.
When the fire dragon's true qi subsided, he did not overcome his self-confidence and steadfastness in his heart, but more of a deep fear, and when the injury healed, the same pain had to be experienced again, no, it had to be experienced many times.
This matter has almost become his nightmare, every day he is worried, every time he will hesitate and procrastinate, every time he needs to desperately muster up courage, every time he needs to reason with himself, not to experience the pain of burning inside, why shorten the time of twenty years to a few months, how can there be a good thing in the world that pays less and gets more.
Experience will have a great impact on a person's personality, people who have no worries about food and clothing have a peaceful personality, and people who endure humiliation and heavy burdens have a sharp personality, everyone experiences different things, and people with similar experiences will have the same personality and style. Whether it's the same kind of people, just see if they've experienced similar things,
Every time he experienced a burning fire, Wu Zhongyuan became more confident, because he knew that what he did was difficult for others to do, and it was difficult for others to have such a strong will.
But every time he experiences the pain of burning inside, he is also gloomy, only those who have experienced the darkness know what light is, but those who kill from the darkness are deep down in their hearts and look down on the laity who are indulgent and disgusting, and who are pretentious.
As time passed, Wu Zhongyuan's self-confidence increased day by day, but at the same time, he became more and more anxious, he had already seen the gate of Tailing, but he estimated that he was looking forward, I am afraid that it would be difficult to enter Tailing before the five seals disappeared......
