Chapter 12: Horror
What kind of things are hidden in the depths of a person's memory? As far as the ego is concerned, it is not clear. Childhood events are mostly relayed by our elders, but no matter how we feel now, it is difficult for us to regain that feeling. Things that I thought were very interesting when I was a child, but when I think about them when I grow up, it may become an embarrassment. The embarrassing thing when I was young, more than ten years, decades later, may only be able to laugh at it.
When Chen Xiaoyi dived into the depths of his ocean of memory, he felt a palpitating force. Darkness enveloped it, and invisible pressure enveloped it from all sides. This is an abyss that will never see the light of day, and it hides great terror. But the more this happened, the more curious he became.
The darkness seems to be endless, and not a single fragment of memory can be seen here. He could only follow a strange feeling and dive, and finally stopped in front of a dark door. At the crack of the door, there is a subtle light overflowing, which leads to reverie. Push open the door and come to a gray space. A void, gray and misty in his eyes, like a kingdom of death, made his heart trance, strange.
In the gray depths, there was another door, and a blinding light spilled through the crack in the door. When I opened the door, it was a blank slate. More precisely, it is the light that obscures everything. All around, there is dazzling light. Being in such an environment is like turning into a ray of light. There are two completely different feelings from the darkness before.
Chen Xiaoyi stopped suddenly, and the palpitations in the depths of his heart became even stronger. He had a feeling that what he was looking for was hidden behind this light. Further down, there is a third door, hidden in the light of the sky. Push the door in, slow down, and enter the fairyland.
Colorful space, a small open space, in the center, is actually a seven-love fairy tea tree. Seven colors of tea, each color represents an emotion. What is different from what I saw before is that in this fairy tea tree in front of me, all the camellia flowers are still just flower bones, and I don't know when they will bloom.
Confused and puzzled, Chen Xiaoyi approached slowly, but it was difficult to speak. Before that, he had a lot of imagination in his mind. In the deepest part of this, there is either a demon hidden or a fierce beast lurking. It's completely unimaginable that it's the Seven Feelings Immortal Tea Tree. So, where does the one on the outside come from? Does it also come from the depths of someone's heart?
The immortal tea tree in front of him was no taller than his knees, but it exuded heart-palpitating fluctuations. Chen Xiaoyi couldn't understand at all, why this was happening? Step by step, he came to the immortal tea tree and slowly squatted down. The right hand stretched out and stopped again. After hesitating, Chen Xiaoyi couldn't hold back his curiosity.
The moment he touched the immortal tea tree, Chen Xiaoyi's soul shook suddenly. At this moment, he saw a magnificent picture. In this underground, the rhizomes of the fairy tea tree are inextricably linked, as if there are countless rainbows connecting the infinite and vast space. Each rainbow is connected with countless memory fragments, and a steady stream of emotions is absorbed by it, and then transformed into the power of seven emotions, which is transmitted to the fairy tea tree through the rainbow, nourishing the camellia that has not yet bloomed.
Chen Xiaoyi saw his sea of memories clearly at this moment, and any wisp of memory was imprinted in his heart. However, there is a mysterious place where a cocoon made of seven-colored rhizomes is suspended. The memories in the cocoon could not be viewed, not even the divine sense. It was like a cage in which some of his memories were trapped.
Above that cage, a demon god sat cross-legged, exuding a palpitating coercion. Chen Xiaoyi's consciousness had just moved intentionally, but he instantly felt the pain of his soul as if he had been pricked by a needle, and that wisp of consciousness was also shattered in an instant, turning into dust. After this experience, Chen Xiaoyi no longer dared to make the slightest move.
Suddenly, Chen Xiaoyi was shocked to realize that his soul had undergone a strange change. At the same time, the entire sea of memories suddenly boiled. The Seven Emotions Immortal Tea Tree shook violently, bursting out with colorful divine light. Its rhizomes were frantically absorbing the emotions in the memory fragments, and a large amount of the power of the Seven Emotions exploded like a tsunami.
These violent forces all converged on the fairy camellias, and each camellia emitted a brilliant divine light, and they seemed to be about to bloom. At this critical juncture, a blood-colored lightning suddenly flashed in the sea of memory. The lightning bolt seemed to have life, and it rushed straight towards the seven-colored cocoon.
At this moment, the demon god on the cocoon suddenly went berserk. His right hand shot out a divine light, but it was instantly crushed by blood-colored lightning. The demon god got up in anger and roared wildly in the sky. Chen Xiaoyi instantly felt his anger, and at the same time, his own heart became extremely irritable.
The demon god turned into a war knife with the power of seven emotions and slashed angrily. The blood-colored lightning suddenly stopped, and it turned into a demon shadow and confronted the demon god. A big war is about to be triggered. Suddenly, the blood-colored demon shadow retreated far away, but it flew towards the Seven Emotions Immortal Tea Tree. Chen Xiaoyi was suddenly shocked and wanted to retreat, but he couldn't move.
The blood-colored shadow soon came to the root of the fairy tea tree, but suddenly stopped. Just when Chen Xiaoyi's shock settled, the blood-colored demon shadow suddenly exploded, and a shocking force struck. This magic power poured into the fairy tea tree, along the trunk, along the branches, and gathered into a fairy tea flower. Chen Xiaoyi was shocked back by this force, but saw that the blood-colored camellia representing "hatred" on the fairy tea tree quietly bloomed.
Chen Xiaoyi was extremely frightened, staggered to the immortal tea tree, and stared at the blood-colored camellia in a daze. His consciousness flashed, and the entire sea of memories could be seen, but he could no longer find the blood-colored shadow. It disappeared without a trace, as if it had never been seen. But the blooming blood-colored camellia was the shocking handiwork it left behind.
The sea of memories became extremely peaceful, and the demon god on the colorful cocoon still sat cross-legged. It all felt like a dream.
I don't know how long it took, Chen Xiaoyi didn't see anything unusual about the camellia. He was silent for a moment, then turned to leave. The moment he exited the sea of memory, Chen Xiaoyi felt a breath of life. His body showed signs of recovery, bones, meridians, flesh and blood, and internal organs, all showing signs of life.
When the soul and body were perfectly combined, Chen Xiaoyi knew that this test was over. At this moment, the voice of the old tea tree came, "You have passed the test, now you don't ask anything, you need to calm down." Chen Xiaoyi had to spit out and calm himself down.
Then, the old tea tree said: "Your fairy camellia blooms, you can learn the seven love tips, I have carved the magic tricks, you go quickly." After a little thought, Chen Xiaoyi knew in his heart, and his divine sense flashed, and he came to his immortal tea tree. Sure enough, the blood-colored camellia had a divine glow.
