194 Baths of the soul and body
Thanks to the reward of the book friends of "Dancing Like a Dream", the character is still there-
The two sides seemed to be angry, and a third batch of Peng birds poured out of the canopy. They were already about the same size as the red dragons, their bodies were jet black, and they smelled of death from a distance.
The birds formed a circular formation, floating towards the red fury like a floating island. The red dragon flew forward, and without waiting for the leading Peng bird to greet him, he flew directly to the top of the floating island to watch. The island was a large piece of asphalt, tumbling like thick lava.
"Dear Lord Sigurd, at the behest of the Divine Lord, please take a bath. A melodious voice came, and Red Flicked his tail in anger and flew away.
"Asphalt pool! Even the undead's stuff has been moved. Red thought viciously, "This is a bathing place, it's clearly a place to wash meat." The old priest won't have anything to do with those undead guys, maybe he's actually an old undead, haha. ”
The asphalt pond is a unique natural feature in the land of the dead, and it is said that when half-dead creatures enter the bath, they can wash away the flesh and internal organs of the whole body, leaving only the bones. When the red dragon traveled from the Eastern Continent to the Western Continent, he had traveled through the Death Realm between the East and West Continents, and had seen many unique landscapes in the Death Realm in the sky. It's just that the realm of the undead is hidden in a dark fog all year round, and the red dragon can only briefly see some vague outlines when the fog dissipates.
According to the authoritative publication of the Imperial Academy of the Western Continent, "The Territory of the Dead: An Overview of the Geography of the Dead Realm", "Asphalt pools are one of the most common natural landscapes in the Dead Realm, and they are scattered all over the Dead Realm, like lakes and ponds. Legend has it that in the deepest part of the realm of the dead, there is an endless pool of asphalt, which is called 'Acne'. It was the birthplace of kings. ”
At the moment of flight, Red Fury occasionally saw a sea of asphalt as wide as an ocean, which was likely to be a mysterious "acne".
The red dragon completely rejected Aot's "kindness", but soon he found himself flying towards the giant tree. But it was getting farther and farther away from the big tree.
"Do you use the laws of space to stop me from approaching?" "Red Fury immediately saw something strange, "I don't have the means to fight the laws of space now, and the old guy won't let me go to see him, so there's really no way to deal with it." ”
Red Furious was a little depressed in his heart. Right now, he has a large number of divine characters hidden on his body, but it is difficult to use them. Because after the loss of the soul container, there is no medium for the power of the Divine Word characters to be used.
The red dragon then turned around and saw a bath of three flocks of birds lined up from top to bottom behind him. The clear spring bath is at the top, followed by the mud bath, and finally the asphalt pool.
From each of the three baths, a human-faced and footless bird flew out, and one of them flew down to the other, gradually merging together, turning into a small, medium, and large three-headed strange Peng bird.
The strange bird hovered in front of the bath, and the three heads shouted in a loud voice, "Dear Lord Sig. At the behest of the gods, please take a bath. ”
Red Fury said, "If you don't take a bath, your god won't see me." ”
"Dear Lord Sigurd, at the behest of the Divine Lord, please take a bath. ”
The Red Dragon got the answer. There is only one sentence over and over again. He let out a low roar of exasperation, and suddenly flew forward and landed on the back of the strange bird. Red rage quickly shrank, and he rolled comfortably, "Okay, take a bath, I'll see what you can do with me?" ”
The three-headed bird flicked its wings and really carried the red dragon to the bath on the first floor. Its body also became smaller. Fall into the water.
The spring water was cold and clear, and the red dragon sank down with the three-headed bird. He felt a wonderful soul power rippling in the spring water, which surrounded the red dragon and washed away the dirt in his soul. Strings of bubbles bubbled up the red dragon's body, and small pieces of filth-coated soul fragments peeled off from him. But Red Fury didn't feel pain, on the contrary, his whole body relaxed. The dirt solidified in his soul. It is almost impossible to remove. When he was still a believer in Seeger, he tried to eliminate these soul filth with the torture of soul burning. It was a painful process, but the results were surprisingly poor.
"Priest Aote, you are using your soul power to help me remove the filth of my soul. You know, don't be a blasphemer. Even those who believe in it will never be clean. The red dragon laughed, "But can you tell me why? It's a thankless task, and it won't be a reward for daring me to come in and take a bath, right?"
The first of the three-headed bird turned to the head and said, "Only pure souls can meet the gods." ”
"Huh?" Red Fury sat up, "you guys have your own consciousness. ”
"Sige, it's our duty to ask you to take a bath. The man said in a beautiful voice, "If you don't bathe, we can only say that one sentence forever." ”
"What a strange rule. The red dragon muttered noncommittally, "I think I'm almost washed now, it's time for me to go to your god." ”
"Yes, Lord Sige, you're washed with me. The human-faced bird's beak smiled strangely, and the whole bird suddenly fell out of the water, from the bottom of the first bath, and fell into the mud bath below.
"What's going on?" Red Rage slammed upwards at a sudden change. However, after soul washing, his whole body is sore and weak at the moment, and it is difficult to fly at all. The red dragon twisted twice, and finally could only watch himself and Peng Bird sink into the rancid mud together.
The mud bath was a mix of animal limbs, birds, animals, insects, fish, and even the remains of strange creatures that the red dragon could not recognize. They surged towards the red flames, clinging to his soul in one fell swoop. In just a few minutes, the red dragon was enveloped into a giant ball of rotten flesh.
Red Fury scolded in the carrion ball, "Damn it, what the hell are you doing, let me out." Otherwise, I want you to die without a place to bury. ”
Peng Bird, who was carrying the carrion ball, turned his second head, and said in a crisp voice with a sad face: "Dear Lord Sige, people who do not have a body cannot meet the Divine Lord, I am shaping a body for you." With that, Peng Bird fell out of the bottom of the second layer of the bath and smashed into the third layer of asphalt pool.
The bird that fell into the asphalt pool turned the head of the third bird, and its face was carefree, and it chanted melodiously: "If there is no life, there is no death, and if there is no death, there is no life; ”
As the three-headed bird chanted, its body was quickly stripped of its flesh by the boiling asphalt, leaving only a broad skeleton. The asphalt pool was filled with waves, several meters high, and in an instant, the skeleton and the ball of carrion wrapped in red fury swept into the depths of the pool.
