Chapter 377: Desire Strikes 1
When I heard this, I couldn't help but take a deep breath.
"During this period, a lot of people came in, but many of them couldn't survive the first day, so they became part of this place, and the longest one only lasted for about 10 days."
Swallowing wine, he looked at me for a moment, and then continued.
As soon as he threw a large stone into it, he saw that the strange thing that disappeared stopped, although he just had the mentality of trying, but he swallowed wine for three days and three nights, and threw a corner of the stone mountain into it, and he was surprised to find that his disappeared hand grew back some.
After that, it took 10 years to swallow wine, throwing stones into the big pit every day, and only a third of the stones were removed, until more than 200 years ago, after the strange old man came in, he also controlled his desires, and the two began to clean up quickly.
Then gluttonous women, black faces, and leprosy came in, and the five of them worked together to finally clean up the accumulated stones more than 100 years ago.
But after that, every day, their job was to throw all those big stones into the big pit, and they also tried to leave them alone, but they found that as long as they left them alone, those stones would multiply exponentially, and within a few days, they began to slowly disappear like this world.
In desperation, every day, the first thing the five of them do in the morning is to go over there and throw the stone into the big pit, and here, the most powerful thing is gluttony, and she personally likes to take care of others indiscriminately, so she volunteered to clean up the leftovers of everyone in the morning at noon every day, no matter how much or less, she can always finish it when the night comes.
"Well, that's it, all I know."
I looked at the swallow in confusion and asked.
"Can you tell me what I need to do next, to control my desires?"
"You don't need to do anything, it's just that in your current condition, it's going to be dangerous, because your desires will come to you on their own, and when the time comes, if you can't defeat your own desires, you'll collapse and become part of this forest."
I snorted and found Swallow looking at my feet.
"Besides, your Vermilion Bird jacket has been stripped off by the strange old man, and now you are just an ordinary person, without any power."
I snorted and watched the wine swallow, and then I got up in a hurry and went back to the camp, blaming the old man and the leprosy, and discussing something.
"Strange old man, can you give me back my Suzaku jacket?"
The strange old man squinted at me and spat out two words unhurriedly.
"Nope."
I didn't react at first, but immediately I looked at him.
"That's mine, give it back to me."
"Nope." The strange old man said resolutely.
"Why?"
"Give it back to you, you will die, Zhang Qingyuan, if you want to find death in advance, do you know that although this Vermilion Bird is a holy spirit, it is also an evil spirit, hehe, depending on your heart, you have already achieved Nirvana once, if I didn't move fast that night, you would probably turn into ashes in less than 1 minute."
I groaned, looked at the strange old man suspiciously, and suddenly, he stood up and walked up to me.
"Who do you think I am? I'm a good person, I won't lie to you, stinky boy, what's the good of me lying to you, and I can't get out, you kid is not a woman, and you can't touch me twice, and you're a poor guy, what am I trying to do? ”
I looked at the strange old man in amazement, he could say it seriously, touching two such things, I was a little shocked, leprosy laughed.
"Oh, you kid, listen to us, it won't hurt you, after all, now we have six people and a dog, and when you grow up slowly, our daily work will be much easier, damn, I can't stand moving stones every day."
Leper said, and the strange old man retched.
"No, as soon as I saw the stone, I wanted to vomit, how can anyone move the stone every day."
"What you just said is that Suzaku is a holy spirit, but it is also an evil spirit, what is going on?"
"Well, I can't say it clearly, and I found that this thing was not your strength originally, so I advise you not to use it, after all, your level of strength, using this thing, is a big burden for you."
"In a few days, my desire or something, here, what should I do? I've heard the swallow of wine say, I don't have the strength now, how can I fight against desire? ”
"Oh, alas, that guy, why did you say it, alas, it seems that I quite want you to live, okay, I'll follow you for the past few days, wait for your desire to strike, give you something a little, after you use it, if the situation is not right, I will save you."
I thanked him and began to ask where I could find materials that could be used as simple houses.
But the strange old man told me that I had to figure it out by myself.
I raised my head and looked over, but I found that all the trees around here, except for some branches four or five meters above the ground, could not be seen at all.
And these trees are all the same thickness, even the leaves that grow on them are exactly the same, and so are the branches, and most importantly, these branches are only the thickness of an arm, I thought about it, and walked to a tree.
I kicked it hard, and with a bang, I cried out, and the trunk of the tree became as hard as a stone, and when I kicked it, not only did it not move, but my foot hurt so much.
Just as I was wondering, the strange old man laughed on the sidelines.
"Anyway, here, you have to learn to control your desires, Zhang Qingyuan, alas, you go on, we're going to eat."
I sighed, looking at the sky, it was still daytime, although I was hungry, I didn't want to sleep all night by the fire like last night, and I had to keep turning over, so that I could at least have a place to sleep.
I walked to the tree, held the trunk with both hands, and touched it, the trunk was soft, not like a stone, and I slowly got rid of the distractions in my heart, and since I couldn't break it, I climbed up.
I tried to use both hands, clasped the trunk of the tree, began to move up a little bit, very smooth, after climbing more than two meters, I saw the branch, for a moment, I was dumbfounded, how I climbed two meters, the branch, from me or four or five meters away, with a puzzled mentality, I moved another meter at night, already out of breath, very tired.
I raised my head again, looked over, my arm was very sore, I felt that I was about to lose it, at this moment, I looked up, it was still four or five meters away, the branch, and my heart was very depressed.
"Damn, what the hell is this, grass."
As soon as I cursed, all of a sudden, the trunk bent, and I screamed, and the whole trunk bent and fell to the ground, and my back fell to the ground, and it hurt a lot.
The moment I let go of the trunk, the trunk, like an eraser, swayed it, shook it a few times, and returned to normal.
I was very angry, and looked at the trunk as if it were deliberately playing tricks on me, and behind me, I slapped the ground in a rage.
Wow, I screamed, how the ground, all the sharp thorns, one of my hands, has been bleeding, and all around my body, all brown thorns, very sharp, I hurriedly closed my mouth, began to relax, relaxed.
Sure enough, in the afternoon, it was another bowl of rice, and after eating, I saw that everyone had returned to the camp, and I saw that I had swallowed wine and took back the thin cloth that had been given to me last night.
"Can you lend me another night?" I looked at the swallow in embarrassment, and he smiled and shook his head.
"No, I'll lend you another night, you'll freeze to death, last night, it must be uncomfortable, right?"
I sighed, it was dark, it was dark.
"Take advantage of now, hurry up and go to sleep, get up tomorrow, and get your own cabin again, hehe." I watched the others, Lao Ren, also sleep, and in desperation, sat down by the fire, which was extinguished, and I sighed.
"No fire? Tonight? ”
Swallow the wine from the hut, came out, and walked over.
"Get out of the way." Saying that, he took a sip of wine, and with a poof, a flame erupted, and then the fire ignited, in my impression, I seem to have seen, Breaking the Ring Sect?
I looked at the swallow in amazement, and he smiled and took a sip of it.
"Rest early."
At this point, my heart was at peace, or rather, collapsed, and it was only the next day, and I was about to go crazy, there was nothing to do here at all, except to carry stones, eat, sleep, and I was so bored that I wanted to count the leaves on the ground.
And this forest, as if he has a grudge against me, to be precise, I still can't control my desires.
Sure enough, it was very cold at night, very cold, I shivered, although there was a warm fire on the front, but it was very cold on the back, and then I got up, intending to make a fire behind my back, around, but when I saw it, I was dumbfounded.
This fire, how can it keep burning, I wondered, for everything in this forest, I still don't know a lot, I look here, it seems that only my stone leg can be used, if you use your hands, it will definitely burn.
I fiddled with my right leg of the stone, trying to separate the burning flames, but suddenly, a voice stopped me.
"Don't do that, you'll burn yourself."
"Can you come out with me?" It was the black face, he stopped me, I trembled, stood up, he came over and whispered, I oh, the black face helped me, after getting up, I followed the black face to the outside of the camp, a little farther away.
