Forest of Bones
The words of the slug immortal were like a warning to Zhou Zhu, and they were just a sigh of emotion about the past. But Zhou Zhu, as the party concerned, has already risen in his heart at this time.
"The dragon slayer is an evil dragon after all", the words came from the mouth of the slug immortal. Isn't it a curse to unite what you are going to do? Could it be that after accepting the so-called, vital inheritance, and making outstanding contributions to the slaughter of the Eight Miscellaneous Snakes in this world? Waiting for his own ending, is it like the previous predecessor, Susanoo, to become the background board for the next son of destiny to be killed?
When Zhou Zhu had a heart to retreat for this. The voice of the slug immortal sounded again, reassuring Zhou Zhu and said, "Young man, don't always associate too much, hey!" Although I can't explain to you in detail some of the things of the past, please relax and inherit that inheritance! What you think about is not going to happen. ”
"Although history and fate will always be similar, or there will be wonderful coincidences of reincarnation. But for you, an outsider, the rules and fate of this world are difficult to arbitrarily arrange on you! You are that legacy, the best successor ever. It's just because of your identity as an outsider who is not bound by this realm, and the unknown thing you carry! ”
After hearing the words of the slug immortal, Zhou Zhu's little heart, which had nowhere to place, was finally calmed. But another doubt arose, and he said to the slug immortal again: "Since you said, I don't have to worry, I am arranged by the fate of this world, then what is the fate between me and Okamoto Kagui? Also, since I came into this world, I have found that whatever I do seems to have no or no impact on the future. ”
This question has existed in Zhou Zhu's heart for a long time. Regarding fate, about interfering in the future, Zhou Zhu has been cautiously interfering, but judging from the results, it has been very effective. Even in the battle of the Land of Thunder, Zhou Zhu cut off the arms of the four generations of Thunder Shadows. In addition to the unconvincing reason of trying the knife, it is also to do an experiment on whether it can affect the future for yourself.
Unfortunately, the results were not satisfactory. Just over a year ago, the spy members of Kaguya's Thirteen Guards in the Cloud Ninja Village of the Land of Thunder sent back information to Zhou Suke. As mentioned above, the fourth generation of Thunder Shadow has grown a brand new arm with the help of a mysterious medical ninja.
And after hearing the news, Zhou Zhu's heart was actually cold.
"Oh, that's what you said!" After a long sigh, the slug immortal explained to Zhou Zhu, "It is very difficult to change the future at any time! This unsolvable proposition is simply impossible for those of us in this world. And you, an outsider, can do whatever you want and influence the future. But behind every action you take, there is the self-remedy of this consciousness. Unless you completely disrupt the future, such as killing people who are important to the future, or even imprisoning souls. Otherwise, this consciousness will always make reasonable remedies. ”
"Of course, if there are some small changes that are insignificant, the consciousness of this realm will only help so little, and it will not interfere too much!"
"And what you are talking about, the fateful connection between Okamoto Kagui and you, is entirely out of your own behavior in the future. This kind of reason that you give this consciousness to deal with you may be a kind of pursuit of excitement after you are invincible in the future, right? As an old guy who has been living for countless years, I don't understand what some of you have done! ”
The slug immortal's words made Zhou Zhu blush a little. If it is really as the slug immortal said, Zhou Zhu can still understand very well, and after being invincible, he will definitely be constantly looking for excitement in this world. This kind of inferior nature that exists in Zhou Zhu's bones, of course Zhou Zhu himself understands it very well. Not to mention him in the future, even the current one likes to pursue excitement.
Because the concept pursued by Zhou Zhu is, "rowing does not rely on oars, and the whole screen is full of waves"! These have been proven in several battles as early as when Zhou Zhu first set foot in the ninja world. Recently, with the further increase in strength, Zhou Zhu has staged many times when he accepted the task of Xiao to organize and encircle and suppress the priests of small countries.
Obviously, it can be solved simply, but for the sake of his own evil pursuit, Zhou Zhu sent the news to the other party's divine court before taking action that I will come to the door to destroy the door. In the action, there will be occasional whims, and it will be decided that this scene will not use ninjutsu or knife skills. Or, Zhou Zhu will also look at his mood, cultivate a few teenagers who are enemies of life and death, and play the exquisite villain game of I wait for you to grow up to take revenge.
When people's strength and power skyrocket day by day, but the heart does not grow at the same time, the gene of death will become more and more obvious. Human beings are complex animals, and it is difficult for us to label a real person. And Zhou Zhu himself is an incomparably complex person. It's hard for us to draw a label-like definition for Zhou Zhu.
Timid, cowardly, hypocritical, bullying the weak and afraid of the hard. Zhou Zhu has such a special system, but it is difficult for you to combine his life to say that he is such a person. Because of countless life-and-death confrontations, and testifying from time to time, Zhou Zhu is a brave, alert and fearless person, who lives and dies outside the stomach.
In daily trivialities, we can see his carelessness and friend's generosity and indifference. In daily interactions, we can see that Zhou Zhu will have the purest kindness to people no matter how they are evaluated. For example, to remind Jirai to break the layer of window paper between him and Tsunade as soon as possible, such as providing financial support for Orochimaru's pursuit, and for example, because he knew about Kakuto's pursuit, he contracted most of the tasks of the Snow Country to Kakuto. (Of course, there's no free help in this, and that's another story!) )
"Okay...... Looks like I did it all myself! Zhou Zhu said helplessly, "Let's avoid these irrelevant topics!" The bone forest that has been inherited on the yin side, so how do I need to get there? Or will you lead me the way, slug? ”
Talking about business, the little slug, one of the countless splinter bodies of the Slug Immortals opposite Zhou Zhu, replied with a little trembling, "You think of a beautiful boy!" It's the kind of place I'll never try to approach in my life! ”
Then it explained, "It's nothing in the Bone Forest, the key is your inheritance, opposite the Bone Forest!" You need to cross the Lechuan River in order to truly be in the sea of flowers on the other side and try to accept the inheritance of the art of the immortals! ”
"And Lethe River is a river of silence, never floating a thing, even the soul will sink to the bottom of the river. That is the nemesis of my ability to split, and if one of the splits sinks into Lethe, my whole soul will be bound. ”
"So~ boy, you can only rely on yourself! As dusk approaches, the transition between the shade and the sun will cause a brief overlap between the wet bone forest and the corpse bone forest. At that time, you will naturally be dragged into the forest of bones because of the cursed karmic fire of the Eight Miscellaneous Snakes on your body. ”
"The rest of the way is up to you. When you arrive at the banks of the Lethe River, the lower deity in your body is the basis for you to cross the river. No one's life is something that only needs to be taken, not given. As fate would have it, the Lord of Lethe will be your first deity. ”
"And after crossing the river, whether you can successfully get the approval of the 'Prison Flower' depends on your efforts. When you return from the sea of flowers on the other side, with the art of yin and yang immortals, and you have insight into the majesty of time and space, you will have the confidence to fight against the Eight Miscellaneous Snakes! Then you can wait for that battle to come! (Prison Flower: Abbreviation of Hell Flower)
"Of course, the results are fascinating, but so are the dangers. The prison flower is the principle of yin and yang, the ultimate manifestation of time and space. Contemplating the Hell Flower will cause your soul to indulge in the Eternal Cycle. Success is as I said just now, but if you fail, the reincarnation of thousands of years is enough to make you turn into ashes and your soul into nourishment. ”
After these words came out, Zhou Zhu was already timid to the extreme. Is there a danger to life? wanted to inherit the white prostitute, but after listening to the words of the white snake immortal, he thought that he was Zhou Zhu who had come to go through the motions, and it was like running away in an instant.
"It's so dangerous, the ghost is going to go!" Zhou Zhu, who was slandering like this, didn't notice that the little slug opposite him had already shown an evil smile that had succeeded in his treacherous plan at this time.
At the same time as the corners of the little slug's mouth raised a strange arc, dusk arrived unexpectedly! It turned out that the previous grinding, while explaining to Zhou Zhu, was also a slug immortal, waiting for the twilight when yin and yang coincided and the corpse bone forest opened!
Without Zhou Zhu's reluctance, the karmic fire burning on his arm instantly rolled upside down, covering his whole body in the scarlet karmic fire. The karmic fire that was originally just burning the arm was sent back to its true strength. Zhou Zhu's soul felt the pain of the flames, so that he could not react at all except the scream of pain.
In this way, under the background of karmic fire, Zhou Zhu's body gradually became transparent. Under the light beam of dusk, he was forcibly pulled into an even more terrifying world - the Bone Forest!
There is no retreat......
There is no chance of repentance......
When yin and yang coincide, the corpse bone forest, which will be opened, ushered in the first visitor since the immortal god fell silent!
After the karmic fire had achieved its purpose, it dwelled. In this way, Zhou Zhu was given a moment of respite.
Lying limply on the damp black blood soil, with Zhou Zhu's violent gasp, what echoed in Zhou Zhu's mind was the whispering voice from the Eight Miscellaneous Snake that Zhou Zhu guessed.
"Closer, closer! Gremlin!!! ”
"A little closer, a little closer!"
"Walk through this forest of bones, cross the Lechuan River, cross the sea of flowers on the other side, and embark on the road of Yellow Springs. I'm under purgatory at the end of there! ”
"Come to me! Approach me! Not only can I give that little one back to you......"
"I will also reward you with all the treasures of my life!"
"Just, you come to me!"
"Strength, power, women, whatever you want, I can help you realize ......"
The seductive words of the Eight Miscellaneous Snake were completely useless to Zhou Suke, who had a wealth of experience. He has read countless times, even if the Eight Miscellaneous Snake shouts, will he give him the treasure of One Piece, Zhou Zhu will disdain it!
Ignoring the noisy words of the Eight Miscellaneous Snakes, after Zhou Zhu eased up from the tearing feeling of his soul, he snorted heavily and said, "Sister! Got on the slug immortal's dog! actually calculates the master. ”
"Sure enough, none of the grinding guys are good! People are like this, and slugs are also a hanging sample! ”
After complaining about the slug immortal, Zhou Zhu got up, patted the dust on his body, and observed the place he was in with his inner eye perception.
In the perception of the heart and eye, the environment he was in at this time was exactly the same as the wet bone forest just now. It's just that the sky here doesn't have the warm sunlight that the sun shines on. Of course, there is also a little more decay on those huge bones, which may be the reason why there are no slugs to secrete body fluids to protect them, right?
Obviously, Zhou Zhu was annoyed, and the slug immortal was arranged to be a guy who applied lubricant or sunscreen to the wet bone forest!
Without the busy slugs, this forest of bones was gloomy and terrifying against the backdrop of the dark sky. Moreover, compared to the spiritual pressure in the Wet Bone Forest, which is quite restrained, the spiritual pressure here is really aimed at Zhou Zhu all the time.
Zhou Zhu's action became slower under the targeting of these spiritual pressures. is struggling, which is the situation that Zhou Zhu has to face now.
Being in this forest of bones like a replica of the Wet Bone Forest (I don't want to play tongue twisters), Zhou Zhu felt a completely different feeling.
If the feeling that the wet bone forest brings to Zhou Zhu is colored. Then it must be a bright warm yellow, even if there are so many bones. But it was full of life, and the feeling that gave Zhou Zhu was always warm and warm.
And the corpse bone forest where Zhou Zhu is now is completely different from the wet bone forest on the sunny side. Its color is dull, like an oppressive cold gray. It seems that this is the world of the dead, and Zhou Zhu, the only living person with color, should not exist like this.
Those bones in the forest finally brought terrifying coercion to Zhou Zhu, and they were no longer like those in the Wet Bone Forest, but they were just a background board that would be used as a wonder to watch.
And just as Zhou Zhu wantonly perceived the environment of this corpse forest, the system spirit in his body suddenly complained: "There is no natural energy, not even life energy. I went, this place, it really makes people not want to stay longer! ”
Then, the system elf subconsciously reminded Zhou Zhudao, "Also, this place is very weird...... Be careful, host! I seem to sense that something that I don't even understand is gathering together! ”
