Chapter 29: Hallucinations
He recognized the mountain outside Los Angeles, which was the highest mountain within a radius of 100 miles, and at this time, he was 20 miles away. After barely making out the direction, he set off on the road.
I didn't feel it when I was in the cave just now, but now after walking for a while, I found that my stomach was empty, thirsty and hungry.
Hunger made him have to rest for a while before he could walk a mile or two, his face was pale, and his wounds began to ache, and he was tormented by a dull pain that he had only felt a little strange in the cave before.
Suddenly, he saw a tree with red fruit in the distance, he walked quickly to the bottom of the tree, picked a few, regardless of whether it was poisonous or not, took a sip, the sour juice bloomed on his taste buds, and his whole person was activated. He picked a few more and sat under the tree to eat.
Judging from the condition of his stomach, he probably fell asleep for more than a day or two, but it was afternoon when he left the cave, which happened to coincide with the time when he was unconscious, and he thought it was the day of the day, but if it was only a few hours, it would be impossible for him to be hungry like this.
After eating five or six fruits, he felt a little better, and after he had strength, he began to examine what he was eating.
The red fruit looks ripe, but it tastes extremely sour.
He searched for the name of the fruit in his memory, and finally, he remembered.
"Hallucinogenic fruit?"
He screamed.
As the name suggests, hallucinogenic fruit is eating fruit that can produce hallucinations. This fruit was ubiquitous in the market in the early years, and the reason why it was put on the shelves was because of the poor people who could not eat, they scavenged everywhere and stumbled upon the miraculous effects of hallucinogenic fruits. In order to pursue that short-term pleasure, people have to buy, resulting in a shortage of hallucinogenic fruits, so the farmers do not plant crops anymore, just plant hallucinogenic fruits, merchants are also willing to buy at a high price, sell at a higher price, and so on for a year, there are basically no other fruits and vegetables on the market, and the people who have taken this fruit for a long time are also sluggish, losing labor, and the economy of Chu is almost paralyzed.
The reason why Ji Lin knew about the hallucinogenic fruit was because of Wang Shenji. At that time, many businessmen came to Wang Shenjian to invest, saying that the phantom fruit would not worry about sales and would be profitable, but Wang Shenjian refused, and held a meeting to allow any of his subordinates to participate in this business. At that time, many people did not understand Wang Shenji, and Wang Shenjian explained that he did not resist the use of hallucinogenic fruits, after all, this was people's own choice, but it was impossible for him to support it. This kind of thing is no more than grain, cotton, if everyone goes to grow hallucinogenic fruits, what people eat, what they wear, what they use.
At that time, hallucinogenic fruit had already swept the Chu country, and people who were listless due to taking hallucinogenic fruit could be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys.
At this time, Ji Lin was very annoyed, and he was so anxious that he jumped and jumped, as if he had already had an attack.
"Why am I so stupid to eat things without seeing clearly!"
In fact, Ji Lin was already so hungry that he was delirious, and he was already pure in heart and had few desires before he ate the tree.
Under normal circumstances, the onset time of hallucinogenic fruit is after three incense sticks, but Yan Lin's body has been sensitive since he was a child, and the absorption rate is far greater than that of ordinary people.
He wanted to vomit, but he felt that something in his body was being withdrawn, and the whole person was getting lighter and lighter. He lay on the ground, feeling that the ground was sticky like a swamp, but he was very light, and he did not sink, but the whole person was going to float into the sky.
He saw the stars hidden in the light of the sun, at first a vague dot, and then gradually clear, large, and brilliant stars.
The stars turned into streamers and came at him in unison.
He saw a horse, flapping its wings, flying towards him with a man in a hunch, and before he could reach the ground, the man leaped out and landed before him.
He heard the man say something with his mouth open, but he was like a dry well, and the sound reverberated in his ears, and he couldn't hear the words clearly.
He didn't feel anything when he saw the man slap him, but he was angry, and then a hand appeared in his sight and grabbed the man's neck.
It was probably his own hand, he thought to himself, otherwise why would he feel pain when he saw that hand being trampled on the ground.
The heart-piercing pain summoned him back to the real world, and he shouted loudly at a volume far beyond the pain caused by the step on his hand.
The soldier picked a fruit from the top of his head, sniffed it to his nose, recognized it as a hallucinogenic fruit, and sneered, saying, "The little thing is quite flowery." ”
The soldier was ordered to patrol the area in search of Lifeng, and as he was leaving, the general instructed him to keep an eye on a boy of about fifteen years of age, and described his appearance in general terms, saying that he was with the old man, and that he had brought him back when he saw him. When the soldier was patrolling on a Pegasus just now, he saw Ilin rolling on the ground, and when he came down to take a look, he found that Youngin was in high agreement with the general's description.
The soldier is a master of the Shengmen realm, the elite of the army, so he was sent to carry out this mission, he knew that Lifeng was seriously injured and dying, so he did not call for support at the first time, thinking that he would capture Lifeng and take the credit alone. He knew that the general told him to take the child back, that is, he wanted to know the location of the wind through the child's mouth, so he asked the child, he didn't want the child to take hallucinogenic fruit, and he was talking nonsense, and the soldier slapped him, wanting him to sober up, and he actually tried to choke the soldier's neck with his hand.
He was not a soldier's opponent in the realm, let alone in this state, his hands were trampled on the ground by the soldiers.
The soldier squatted down: "Are you sober?"
Attentive and undisturbed by the hallucinations, he asked, "Who are you, and why are you attacking me?"
"Attack?" the soldier let go of his feet and stepped aside, "Do it again?"
The soldier naturally saw at a glance that this was just a Gathering Core Realm, and it would not be his opponent if he came a hundred times.
Ji Lin also knew this, he was hungry now, and he didn't want to resist at all, and he didn't even want to stand up: "Who the hell are you?"
The soldier said, "It doesn't matter who I am, you just need to tell me, where is the wind?"
"Lifeng?" "I don't know." He shook his head.
In fact, he didn't need to hide Lifeng's traces at all, he and Lifeng just met in Pingshui, and even he fell to such a point thanks to him, but he still didn't want to tell the soldiers the location of Lifeng.
Maybe it's because he's a poor old man?
One second the soldier was still smiling kindly, and the next second he changed to a vicious expression, and his foot in leather boots stepped heavily on his left hand, and with a few rattles, his finger was broken.
He wanted to retract his hand, but the soldier trampled on it.
"Tell me," the soldier leaned in, "where is the wind?"
"I don't know......" Yilin gritted his teeth in pain.
The soldier increased his strength again, and his toes turned around on his hand a few times, and a large piece of the skin on his hand was rubbed off.
"Do you know now?" asked the soldier.
Jiolin originally wanted to tell him, because he felt that Lifeng might have left the cave a long time ago, and Jiolin wanted to use the strategy of delaying the army first, and then make plans when the time came, but when he heard the soldier's arrogant question, he came up stubbornly: "I don't know!"
The soldier was so dissatisfied with the effect of his threat that he removed his foot from his hand, and before he could retract it, a knife pierced his palm, nailing him to the ground.
"I don't know!" the soldier shouted.
The soldier grabbed the hair, and the head was forced to lift. The soldier said viciously: "Are you afraid that I will kill you?" He naturally would not kill Ji Lin, if he couldn't ask, he had to take Ji Lin back to the general, more or less a little credit, the dead Ji Lin is not worth much.
But the moment the soldier saw the eyes of the soldier, he was startled.
What kind of eyes they were, hideous and murderous, and the soldier couldn't believe that this was the eyes of a teenager, more like an emotionless beast than a human.
But in an instant, Ye Lin's eyes changed back to what a child should be.
The soldier was encouraged by the reappearance of fear in his eyes, and he was ashamed of the fear in his heart just now, so he emboldened himself with a louder voice: "Do you believe that I killed you?"
He didn't answer, because someone answered for him.
"I don't believe it. ”
Out of the shadows, the wind came out of the trees.
The soldier didn't know Lifeng, but when he saw his appearance, he guessed seven or eight points in his heart: "Lifeng?"
Li Feng said without being salty: "It is exactly below." ”
The soldier was stunned for a moment, and then laughed wildly: "Old boy, you actually sent it to the door yourself." ”
Lifeng leaned on his body, old and long.
The soldier knew that Lifeng had been seriously injured before, which was the reason why he was unscrupulous, no matter how powerful a person was, there would be times when he was vulnerable, and there was no doubt that he thought that now was the time when Lifeng was the most vulnerable.
The soldier put down his presence and turned to Lifeng: "Do you want me to ask you, or do you want to go back with me obediently?"
Lifeng said, "Let's do it." ”
The soldier's attitude was cold, but he was not in a hurry, and many years of life on horses made him timid and cautious, even if he was seriously injured by the wind, he would not be careless.
Seeing that he didn't react for a long time, Lifeng was a little impatient, so he said, "Then I'll do it first." ”
He held out a hand, and mysterious symbols appeared out of thin air around his hand.
The familiar fluctuations reminded him of Bingqing.
The soldier sensed something was wrong and tried to dodge, but his body seemed to be frozen in place.
The soldier could only watch as he was killed inch by inch.
