Chapter 3 Little Fireflies
The young man was imprisoned, and his eyes were so dark that he could not see anything, so he had to stretch out his hands like an elephant and try to touch the walls of the prison to measure the size of the prison. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć The walls of the info prison are hard stone walls, cold and damp, and the area is not large. The young man vaguely felt that there was a ventilation hole above, and touched it with his hand and found that there was a small natural hole the thickness of a finger in the stone on the top wall of the prison, which could be ventilated, but the material was still extremely hard. Except for this small ventilation hole, the four walls are tightly seamed, and there is not the slightest gap. The ground is likewise hard underground rock. The young man had no choice but to sit on the straw on the ground, and he was in a trance.
In the evening, the jailer opened the small iron door on the heavy iron gate, brought in the food, and shone the young man in the prison with a torch, and when he saw that there was nothing unusual, he instructed him to take away the leftover food and garbage at this time tomorrow, and then locked the small door and left. The young man, stimulated by the brief light of the fire, which almost blinded his eyes, fell into endless darkness in an instant, touched the stone walls of the prison, tiptoed to the supper that was delivered, ate some of it, and fell asleep.
I don't know how long I slept, but the young man woke up, and it was still pitch black in front of him, and he only felt that Venus was turning around in his eyes, both open and closed, and he guessed that he might have had a slight visual hallucination in this absolutely dark space. Later, the young man felt that he was not in an absolutely dark space where he could not see his fingers, but in a pure white space where the ground was white, the sky was white, and all around him was white, boundless, directionless, and endless. Young people are lost in such an undifferentiated environment, how to walk and run, all they see are the same, and there is no direction. Later, in the eyes of young people, the white world in all directions turned into a bright green world with the same color in all directions, and then gradually became a purple world with the same color in all directions, and then the various colors changed faster and faster, as if ordinary people looked directly at the dizzy state of suddenly closing their eyes after the scorching midday, colorful and colorful. The young man's eyes were stimulated by the rapidly changing colors of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple, accompanied by the manic noise of auditory hallucinations in his ears and the mixed tastes in his mouth, and he screamed "ah", vomited all the food he had eaten, and then fell to the ground and fell asleep again.
I don't know how long it took for the young man to wake up from his slumber after this intense mental stimulation, and gradually regained his mind. He accepted the darkness in front of him, no more visual and auditory hallucinations, only hunger. Then he touched the stone wall to the small door of the prison gate, picked up the food and devoured it. He noticed that the jailer would bring him food every day, and by the way, he saw that what he was eating was still hot, indicating that the jailer must have just left. After eating and resting for a while, when his mind had regained his composure, he began to try to remember how he had been in prison. Thinking of all the things he had experienced in the past and finally ended up in prison, the more he thought about it, the more he became more and more emotional, and suddenly slammed his fist into the hard stone wall of the prison, almost shattering his bones.
Suddenly, the young man felt the burning heat in his palm, and when he turned his hand, the mark in his palm that had been bitten by the golden snake flashed with golden light, and the young man was surprised, and he clenched his fist tightly and smashed it against the prison wall again. At this time, the book of heaven that appeared in the dream appeared in the young man's mind, and he only heard the book of heaven say: "Although you have a mark in your palm, you are far from mastering the unique skills represented by this mark, and you don't know when to control the birds, beasts, and insects, so your weapon was seized and you are in prison." You might as well enter the world of dreams in prison and concentrate on practicing its central method and sword moves, and when you refine it, you will have your own way out of prison. ā
At this time, the young man felt that he was deep in the undifferentiated white space that was uniform in all directions, but the Book of Heaven hung above the white sky and opened, shining with golden light, and the sound of the Book of Heaven could be heard. The young man entered this dreamlike space at this time, unlike the last time, he was already extremely sensible, and he was convinced of the Book of Heaven. Then he replied to the sky, "I wish to listen to the teachings!"
Tianshu: "You only need to temporarily learn the snake sword moves, as well as the mental and ventriloquist skills of summoning and controlling flowers, birds, fish and insects, and you can escape from here." There are only dozens of snake sword moves, but the moves are ingenious, with the application of the mind method of controlling birds, beasts, fish and insects, it is a life of two, two and three, and everything is endless. ā
At this moment, a golden wooden sword fell from the white sky, fell to the pure white ground with the same color as the sky, and bounced, and the young man took it in his hand. Immediately after that, a black mist drifted down again, forming a hazy human shape, holding a black mist sword, and demonstrated the full set of snake sword swordsmanship tricks fluttering and powerful again, both rigid and soft, like a drop of ink dripping in the clear water spreading, fluttering and chic!
The young man was dumbfounded, and involuntarily waved his wooden sword and learned according to the gourd drawing. In this way, the young man practiced in this dreamlike world, and even if the jailer brought him food, he did not look at him in any way, but he only thought that he had to sleep soundly because he was at a loss, and finally he did not make a lot of noise. After the jailer had gone, the young man no longer complained when he woke up to eat, but ate all these meals that could only satisfy his hunger. The young man thought to himself that if he had this set of swordsmanship to defend himself, he would not be easily subdued by a few bandit leaders, and his bow and arrow kung fu for two hunting strokes was really difficult to deal with at the moment of life and death.
On this day, the young man practiced swordsmanship in the dream world again, only to feel that all the tricks had been mastered, but the changes and coherence seemed to have entered a bottleneck state, and no matter how hard he practiced, he could not progress.
The Book of Heaven reappeared in the dream space and told the youth: "You can learn to control the mind and ventriloquism of wild flowers, birds, fish, insects, and animals." The purpose of this stunt is not to kill wild animals and make soup and alchemy, but to be able to control all kinds of fresh wild creatures in nature to serve themselves, especially those with poisonous birds, beasts, insects, poisonous snakes, poisonous frogs, etc. When the young man first entered the forest, he was rescued by the blood-spotted viper, which was the initial role of his unique mastery. ā
After understanding the mystery in the Book of Heaven, the young man learned that he was in the forest at the beginning, and the young man actually took advantage of the location and was covered by poisonous snakes. And when he was deep in the crypt of the Great Demon King, the blood-spotted viper who liked to live in the damp jungle here was fearful, so after he was introduced into the crypt, the viper did not save him, and he was already lured by someone to lose his geographical advantage. If he is in the damp and dense forest, the robber demon king may not be helpless under the cover of poisonous snakes.
So I finally figured out that I was originally set a trap by my subordinates and was imprisoned, and I felt that the rivers and lakes were sinister, and I blamed myself for being too shallow, and I more carefully comprehended and practiced the mental methods and tricks in the Book of Heaven. Although he was in an absolutely dark space at this time, his heart wandered in the world of heavenly books in his dreams.
On the surface, this kind of stunt of controlling birds and beasts seems to be learning the ventriloquism of various wild birds and beasts, as if communicating with them in the language of birds and beasts. In fact, it is through mind reading to communicate with wild animals, so that poisonous snakes and others can act according to the will of young people. Cultivate to a high level, and even command an army of thousands of wild animals and plants. The principle of this stunt is extremely esoteric and supernatural, and it is difficult to understand and explain. To put it simply, the principle is to conform to and use the natural laws of creation, and to conform to and use rather than violate the laws of nature to exert such great power. In addition, if this set of mental skills is combined with swordsmanship, it can also make swordsmanship infinitely varied, just like a single cell can conjure up infinite wildlife species. But his stunt doesn't work against captive creatures, and it only works against creatures that follow the laws of nature.
The young man had long forgotten the darkness in the prison of reality, and in addition to cooperating with the jailers on routine work every day, he could simply ignore the reality in front of him as if it did not exist at all, and immersed himself in the practice of this mental technique. In addition to eating every day, it is to sleep and enter the dream space. Young people swim in the dream space of birds and flowers and have ventriloquist dialogues with all kinds of natural wild birds and beasts and insects, use mind reading skills to read the thoughts of birds and beasts and insects, and control these strange wild species in nature with their own will.
On this day, the young man woke up from a dream hungry and saw that the jailer had not yet brought him food, so he sat alone in the prison with hunger. Finally, the jailer came, and unlike in the past, today the jailer actually sent a big captive rooster with four legs and eight wings to the young man as a meal. He opened the small door, took away yesterday's leftovers and garbage, and held a torch to the young man and said, "Today, my king is gracious, and your kid will also change his taste." After saying that, he threw in the big rooster in captivity, locked the small door, and walked away with the leftovers and garbage of the previous day as usual.
The prison was plunged into darkness again, but the four-legged rooster that was stuffed into it to make food was jumping around and the young man was blind and couldn't catch it! The young man was already hungry when he practiced in his dreams, and he couldn't see anything, and he couldn't catch this broiler chicken. At this moment, the young man vaguely felt a slight flicker in front of his eyes, and this glimmer of light made this young man with dark strengths actually jump down, thinking that he had begun to hallucinate again? With this little light, the young man saw the four-legged big rooster, and it became more and more clear that the light source seemed to be moving towards the rooster, and the young man was really scared! Finally, he saw clearly, this was not his own vision, but I didn't know when and where a small firefly got into it and was trying to fly away in captivity, and saw that it had fallen on the cockscomb. At this time, I saw that the fireflies bit the comb of the captive big rooster, and the big rooster actually fell down on all four feet and eight wings. This captive rooster only cares about hiding from the youth, but unexpectedly he is caught by a sudden firefly. The young man shouted "Ahh
Now the young man understood that the firefly had flown in through the ventilation hole, but what kind of poison was it, so it was better to take a look at it! The young man took advantage of the glimmer of the firefly to see that the big rooster in captivity seemed to be sleeping, and it was sleeping very soundly! It turned out that it was anesthetized by the special fireflies in this kind of crypt, and it was fine. Because the cell is located in the depths of the robber demon king's crypt, it is dark and damp, and the poisonous snakes and poisonous bees outside the cave do not enter the demon king's cave, but in this kind of firefly, only in the depths of the crypt, the dark and damp rainforest land, this kind of firefly likes to be dark and damp, and is afraid of open fire. And the toxicity of fireflies is hypnotic, and they only come out in the dark night, and generally do not attack livestock and humans, even if they are bitten, they also make people quickly fall asleep at night. The crypt lighting system is a regular torch, fireflies do not attack and bite often, and stay away from open flames, which has not attracted the attention of the bandit tribe, and the occasional sight is considered a normal phenomenon.
The young man had an instant idea, and thought that the fireflies often haunt the damp dense forest, how did this just come here? Since it can come here, there must be a damp way out, different from the dry road that was led into the crypt by the Great Demon King, then it may be possible to find another escape route by following the fireworm. Thinking of this, the young man used his newly learned mental ventriloquist to communicate with the firefly, and the firefly really obeyed the will of the young man, but the big rooster in captivity could not communicate with the young man. The young man immediately thought of a plan, and said in his heart that there was hope for escape.
This night, the young man didn't sleep all night, and occasionally let the big captive rooster who woke up jump around twice, he let the fireflies in the ventilation hole come down, bite the four-legged rooster and wake up to continue hypnosis, don't make too much noise. Finally, when it was time for the jailer to deliver the meal, the young man did not eat or sleep, but he held his breath and condensed, knowing that success or failure was at this moment.
The jailer opened the small iron door for food delivery as usual, and this time before he could raise the torch to see clearly, the fireflies that flew out of the small door instantly bit the tip of the jailer's nose, and the jailer's eyes rolled upward, and at the moment when he was about to fall, the young man grabbed the jailer's front collar and lifted the tall and heavy jailer up. The young man felt the cell key on the jailer's waist, opened the door through the keyhole inside the cell, came out sideways, took the waist knife from the jailer's body to prepare for the new swordsmanship to retreat from the enemy, and dragged the jailer, who had been bitten by the firefly and fell asleep, into the cell, and locked it with the big rooster in captivity who had just woken up. When the big rooster saw the sleeping jailer, he jumped around him, pecking his face and mouth.
Little fireflies were hovering over the heads of the young man outside the cell. The young man took the key to the prison door, stepped on the steel knife, and ran with the little firefly as soon as he finished cleaning up. The little fireflies led the way in front, and the young man followed closely in a hurry, running in the dark and damp underground cave, and there were teams of such small fireflies swarming to join, and finally a large fluorescent ball was formed, and the cave floor illuminated by crystal green light, leading the young man to run. The firefly ball of light flew in front of it, and the young man only flew behind and followed. Suddenly, a bottomless ravine appeared in front of him blocking the young man's way, and the fireflies had already flown over the opposite bank, and there was no one around, only the sound of gurgling water from the bottom of the ditch could be heard, which showed the depth of the dungeon where the young man was held.
The fireflies waited on the other side and had already discovered the plight of the youth. At this moment, the swarm of fireflies flew to the dead branches of vine vegetation growing in an underground cave, and swayed the dead vine branches to the youth. Seeing this, the young man leaped forward, grabbed the branch with both hands, and leaped vigorously across the bottomless underground river with a sway. The fireflies also flew down from the branches, and continued to lead the way in front of them, leading the young man to flee quickly. At the entrance of a cave that was only one person wide, the fireflies quickly changed their formation, formed a long line, and entered the cave under the leadership of the fireflies, followed by the young man, and there was a column of fireflies behind them. This fluorescent column like a long dragon led the young man to climb and run up and down in the cave, and occasionally passed by the underground stream under the fluorescent light and didn't care about it at all. Young followers of the fluorescent column of fireflies, climbing at an angle of 45 degrees upward, using both hands and feet. After a long time, the young man finally saw the firefly flying out of the hole, and he quickly climbed out of the cave after him, and when he looked at the moonlight, it turned out that the young man had returned to the ground of the dense forest with lush foliage!
