Chapter 203: The Land of Trials
Strictly speaking, if you put a label on Zhu Ping's choice this time, the name of the label will naturally be:
100 dense and one sparse.
Because his style of doing things is to habitually take the initiative into his own hands.
This trip to Shenling Island is too dangerous, and it stands to reason that his choice should be to retreat for the time being, slowly figure it out, and accept it when he sees it.
It's just that she is very uneasy about mermaids like Shark Jiao and Ao Ying.
After all, the sea is the home of mermaids, and when Zhu Ping leaves Shenling Island and only has one ship under his feet, it is no different from being caught. If Ao Ying is really such a gloomy fish with such a scheming heart, then she will never let Zhu Ping leave easily after killing Shark Jiao.
This is a tacit understanding between the old schemers.
So Zhu Ping, as usual, habitually grasped the initiative, followed behind the two, and interrupted Ao Ying's plan at a critical moment.
Originally, he planned to save Shark Jiao to show his kindness, and then show grace to her, adding a layer of insurance to the United Kingdom's maritime defense.
It's a lucrative deal.
It's just that this time, Zhu Ping is a little out of play.
Zhu Ping didn't expect Ao Ying to be so resolute, and when she got out of the wand, she used her body as a magic wand to forcibly cast magic, and at the cost of her own life, she pushed Zhu Ping and Shark Jiao into the light film.
What's behind the light film?
Since it has been called a place of trials for nine deaths and one life, then after the light film is at least not a tourist attraction.
……
At this time, although Zhu Ping's brain could move, his body could not move.
I can't even open my eyes.
"Are you hurt? Probably not, why can't you control the body? Concentrate, concentrate on ......" Zhu Ping continued to meditate and concentrate in his heart.
It seems to have worked.
He felt control of his body, and through his eyelids, he felt a light gradually appear around him.
Then Zhu Ping opened his eyes, and as far as he could see, it was a colorful streamer.
It's like knocking over a paint jar and smearing it together in what I think is an exaggerated and distorted way.
"Where is this? Right! This is the heart of the sacred tree on Spirit Island. ”
After Zhu Ping opened his eyes, his consciousness gradually cleared up, and he felt two weighing stones pressing against his chest in front of him, making it difficult for him to catch his breath.
When he was fully conscious, he looked down and realized that it was not a scale, but two shells the size of a grapefruit.
is worthy of being a person with a ravine, which is really difficult to resist.
But as a decent gentleman, Zhu Ping certainly disdains to take advantage of others at this time, after all, he has no interest in shells.
Stretching out his palm and pushing forward, he wanted to push the little mermaid lying on top of him down.
But when he pushed his hand out, the palm of his hand pierced through the other's shell, through the other's body, and out from behind the other.
"Meow meow?" This scene made Zhu Ping's scalp numb.
Then he hurriedly shook his palm to make a test, but the palm and the other person's body did not exist in the same dimension, overlapping each other, but did not interfere at all.
It's like touching a stereoscopic projection, which is so realistic that it's really confusing.
"Hey! Wake up! Wake up! When Zhu Ping said this, he hurriedly got up and penetrated directly through the other party's body.
If only that were it.
He is still on the ground, still serving as a faithful cushion for the shark.
"What the hell!"
Zhu Ping hurriedly touched his body, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he noticed that his heartbeat and breathing were still there.
After various experiments, Zhu Ping roughly figured out his current state, and if he guessed correctly, his soul and body should be separated in this special space.
If the "soul body Zhuping" is lying in his own body, he can feel the pressure from the outside world, that is, the pressure of the shell.
If it is detached from one's own body, it is a pure soul.
Then, Zhu Ping looked for a calm lake to check his "appearance at this time".
With slender eyebrows and a very clever nose bridge, as well as thin and suitable lips, and a little stubble on the chin, there is an indescribable handsome feeling.
It's about the same as the person lying on the ground, but the appearance is a little more mature.
"Is this me?"
Zhu Ping realized that the current soul was himself, himself from his hometown.
Of course, more strictly speaking, it is the "self" after coming from home and merging with the self in the parallel world.
"Is my current existence a soul state? If it is confirmed that the soul can leave the body, it is estimated that the materialist bigwigs in their hometown will be ecstatic. ”
The soul exists, which means that the soul is the thing.
This view can be confirmed when the soul can be subsumed into the category of things...... It has the role of an outline for philosophical thinking.
Just as Zhu Ping was thinking nonsense, the mermaid lying on the ground also slowly woke up.
Unlike Zhu Ping's cautious temptation after waking up, she shouted: "The world of all evils will be destroyed here!" ”
Zhu Ping held his forehead: "This girl is too middle two!" ’
"Something is stabbing me, huh, why can't I touch anything?" The shark stood up from the ground with a thud.
Then he pointed to Zhu Ping, who was lying under her, and said angrily: "Why are you under me?" ”
"Wait? Why can I see the back of my head? Shark Jiao touched her chin and wondered: "My single ponytail is not good-looking, try it next time I change to a double ponytail." ”
"Hey! Is this something you should be thinking about? Do you know what this place is? After Zhu Ping asked, Shark Jiao looked back at him.
This means that Shark Jiao can hear him.
"This is the holy land of our mermaid clan, how did you get in, get out of the old lady!" The mermaid shark Jiao's reflex was a volley side kick, Zhu Ping's subconscious defense.
Then the two of them penetrated through each other's bodies, without taking a trace of color with them.
Shark Jiao: "? ……”
Zhu Ping: "? ……”
The two sides were silent for a while before accepting the reality that there was nothing they could do with each other.
There is no point in fighting, so naturally there will be no more fighting.
Under the threat of Zhu Ping's mental attack, Shark Jiao held her head and said angrily what this place was, and threatened Zhu Ping not to sing again in the future.
This is the "place of trial" under the sacred tree in the holy land of the mermaid clan.
In the legend of the merfolk clan.
As long as you come out of the land of trials, you will have the ability to become the patriarch of the merfolk clan and unify the sea.
As for why it is a legend and not an ancient book?
Because countless years have passed, not a single mermaid has successfully come out of this place of trial, and for nearly two thousand years, there has not even been the appearance of the mermaid patriarch.
One begins to wonder whether this legend is true or false.
In recent years, some mermaids have boldly speculated that the legend is false, and it is precisely because of so many years of excellent geniuses who have come to challenge this ethereal existence that it has led to the loss of talent, not to mention beyond the sequence, even sequence 1 has not appeared for so many years.
Merfolk began to call for the abolition of this legend.
It is precisely because of the unreliability of the legend that the "shark agarwood" who saves his mother's heart will be so hesitant in the face of the place of trial.
Zhu Ping asked, "Then in the legends and records you have heard, are there any words describing how to leave this place of trial?" ”
"I'm going to leave when the trial is over!" Shark Jiao said as a matter of course.
Zhu Ping couldn't help but hold his forehead and continued to ask: "There is nothing here, so what should be such a trial?" If the trial is so successful, how can it be over? ”
"Don't know?" Shark Jiao is still so hard, so natural.
Zhu Ping was speechless, looking at the empty space around him, and he couldn't start.
