Volume 2, Xuanhai Immortal Mountain_Chapter 87, abandon yourself
What would become of me if I left my old self behind? Abandoning the past self, is the price of abandoning too high?
Some people are willing to give up everything they have in order to become a dragon, and give up everything in order to become the higher person they dream of, just like those carps who desperately want to jump over the dragon gate, dreaming that one day they can jump over the dragon gate and become a dragon flying above the nine heavens, but is that what I want? Do I want to make carp like that?
I asked myself softly, over and over again, the smile on my face gradually faded, staring at such a golden gate representing great glory, isn't it the legendary dragon gate? As long as I abandon my old self, I can walk through that door and come out again as a dragon.
However, I always felt that something was wrong; However, I always felt a little uneasy in my heart; But why didn't I take that step forward?
Is it really good to be a dragon? I'm not a pitiful carp wandering in a pond, I'm not one of those fish that can be killed at any time and anywhere, but am I really willing to be a dragon?
Growing up, I was a different kid, I loved to fight, I loved to get into trouble, but I wasn't a bad kid, I couldn't get good grades in exams, but I couldn't see other people being bullied. I like to solve problems with my fists, so my teacher always says that I won't be able to do anything in the future.
I don't have the same solid background as a fat man, and five years ago I thought that my life should be to make soy sauce in a state-run store and pack sugar triangles for others.
But five years later, I stand here, standing in the treasure trove of ancient dragons that many people dream of visiting, witnessing things that ordinary people would never even dare to think about, and what I have experienced is a past that many people will never be able to experience in their lifetime.
But I didn't want to be a dragon and came here, I stood here because I always believed that even if I was a bastard, even if I was just a mortal, I could do what others couldn't.
Today, the Ancient Dragon Treasury will not let me enter, I can accept my fate, become a dragon, and become a true Son of Heaven, but I don't want to! If the ancient dragon can enter here, then I can do it as a mortal.
He took a step forward and stepped into the huge warning area again, his eyes shining with determination. The roar of the dragon rings in my ears, and the will of the ancient dragons is driving out me, a little alien human. Bugs and humans are the same existence in the eyes of the ancient dragon, but I, a bug, are different!
He took another step forward and shouted at his throat, "You don't want your treasury to be polluted, but I tell you, today I am going to go in, not only to go in, but also to take your treasures." I will not submit to you, just as I will not submit to my own fate! ”
The pressure on the front was very strong, my feet trembled slightly, blood was already flowing from both sides of my ears, I looked up, the world I saw in my eyes was already red, and a huge purple light shone down in the sky, even through the bottomless Xuanhai Lake, penetrating the thick stone layer, and shining right on my face. This is the favor of Zi Weixing, the moment I was illuminated by the purple starlight, I immediately felt much better, the pressure on my body seemed to be removed in an instant, and even the roar of the ancient dragon in my ears gradually became lighter.
"I don't need to!" Raising my head, this is the first time I refuse the purple light shining on the top of my head, as if rejecting my fate, and I don't know if there is an inexpressible anger in my heart, more like a gamble!
"Growing up so big, I've always relied on myself, and I don't need to rely on you today, I can walk over!"
It seems that if I accept the help of this purple starlight today, it will be against my own heart and my will!
I froze in place, not understanding why I was fighting against my fate, but my mind was constantly shouting, and even the dragon's moan in my ears was drowned out for a while.
It seems like some kind of inheritance, like some kind of process that was destined to do this from the beginning, and more like I made a vow a long time ago that I would only be a small mortal in this life.
The roar of dragons, the noisy roars, the monsters roaring desperately, the madness burning in my heart seemed to push me to the brink of collapse, and it felt like my soul and consciousness were twisting and pulling on top of each other.
"It's not over yet, I'm going to walk over!" I struggled forward. But I couldn't see what was in front of me more and more clearly, as if a gust of wind would down.
Persistence seems to have become a burden at this moment, I feel that my feet are floating with every step, my mind is becoming more and more confused, I can't even see the specific things in front of me, all I can see is a hazy golden light, walking towards the golden light, I know that one more step is a victory.
As long as I keep going like this, one day I will get to where I want to be!
"Mortals have boundaries after all, so why should you?" Suddenly there was a voice in my ears, and I turned around to see a vague figure standing beside me, I couldn't see it really, but it seemed to be someone I knew, but how could there be someone I knew in this hellish place?
"Who?" I asked, embarrassed.
"Mortals have boundaries after all, you can only go this far, and then you can't go anywhere. It's all here, don't you understand? That's all you have to do here......" He whispered in my ear, even feeling like I was talking to my own heart.
"Who the hell are you?" I asked tiredly, waving my arms to dispel the person in front of me.
"Abandon your mortal identity, didn't that old man already tell you how to get in? Become a dragon, no longer a human, the dragon that soars for nine days and the person who can only walk in the world, which is better or worse, hasn't there been settled long ago? He was still talking to me, lingering, but every word seemed to be on my heart.
"No, I'm not a dragon, I'm just a human, I can ...... what a dragon can do" roared stubbornly, just like a child who was unwilling to admit his mistakes because of a fight when he was a child, he might be regarded as a pediatrician when he was a child, but that kind of temper can't be changed for the rest of his life.
"Recognize the reality, people can only go this far, the old man is going to die, the four ghosts will not be able to stop Yun Li, he will kill here, and you will not be able to stop him at that time." He didn't touch me, and I couldn't touch him.
"Who the hell are you, don't say it!" I roared.
"Can't you hear me?"
I paused, stopped for a few seconds, and shouted, "Hugo, is that you?" Are you Hugo? ”
But the other party did not answer, the voice disappeared, I staggered forward and fell to the ground, and suddenly fell to the ground, trying to get up again but it was very difficult, my arms trembled slightly and I couldn't straighten my waist.
The dragon's groans were louder, and I was at the threshold of collapse at any moment, but I didn't want to fall, I was afraid of falling, I was afraid that I would never be able to get up again.
Is it really only that way people can go? Is that really the only way to do it?
I gritted my teeth, and those impulses hidden in my young heart kept telling me that people can definitely overcome the sky, but after all, they still can't stand up, and if they have fear in their hearts, they can no longer be fearless and brave!
"Is it really going to stop? I'm running out of time......"
The struggle in my mind became more and more intense, and I looked at the hazy golden light in front of me, whether to abandon my identity as a human being, accept the fate of Zi Weixing, and become a lonely emperor. I knew that I was destined to be a loser, because I would lose all my courage and remain cowardly and cowardly for the sake of the dragon.
Looking back, there was a dark passage behind me, as if there was infinite light in front of me and a pitch-black abyss behind me, and I had no way out. Slowly closed his eyes and sighed deeply, he was still incompetent and weak after all.
The purple microstar light shone on my body, and I gave up all resistance and said softly: "If I am a dragon once, although I can gallop above the nine heavens, I am destined to be only under the sky, and I will not be able to turn over after all......"
The dragon among men, people always like to compare the strong to dragons, but in my opinion, people should surpass dragons, I don't know when this idea was born in my heart, but it is still deep-rooted.
But today I have to break my creed, and finally take the step that I am unwilling to take.
"Is this giving up?"
Suddenly I heard an auditory hallucination......
