Chapter 18: The Saber-Toothed Tiger
It is said that the name of the Theseus Magical Society comes from this legend, and the most widespread of Theseus is that they have a ritual to make themselves immortal, and this ritual has accompanied the name of Theseus.
"Do you keep replacing the rotten parts of yourself to keep yourself intact forever?" Lu Li has already read the true meaning of this legend, which is the so-called method of immortality, and everyone who has heard this story must almost understand it, but if anyone really does it directly and really according to this method, it is death.
Putting aside the question of implementation, the main question in this method of immortality is, after you have changed all your body, are you still yourself?
Some people may say that the soul is still the same person if it is not changed, just like the keel of a big ship is still the same ship if it is not changed, but what if the keel also decays, and the soul also appears and gradually begins to wither?
If you take the things that the big ship has discarded and put together one ship again, then which one is the first ship, the ship that has been replaced all, or the ship that has been replaced?
Lu Li inexplicably remembered a word he had seen before: flowing water does not rot.
It is said that the river is constantly flowing, so it does not stink, all because the river is always in motion, and the river is different at every moment, and people are not like this, in this long river of time, can you still confirm that you are the self of the previous second?
So the question of the ship of Theseus involves a philosophical question: Who am I?
If you don't solve the question of who I am, you can never guarantee that you will be you, who will complete the eternal life of Theseus.
However, Lu Li still put aside these philosophical questions first, and his main purpose now is to go to the Theseus Magic Association through the big iron gate in front of him, and learn from the story of Theseus that it is to constantly replace the decaying place to keep himself new forever.
The current large iron gate is composed of dozens of iron railings like iron spears, and among the iron railings, most of them are pitch black and shiny, as if they are brand new, but three of the iron railings are rusty.
Grabbing the three iron railings, he pulled them out with a movement of his hand, and the big iron gate also opened automatically, revealing the calf-high grassland scene inside, and the three iron railings in Lu Li's hands had turned into powder and flew back to their original positions, turning into iron railings again.
Lu Li raised his eyebrows and walked in, the door behind him was closed, and there was only an endless prairie left in front of Lu Li, and the calf-high grass covered too many things.
Behind him, the original walled iron gate was all reduced to a lonely towering black gate, on which there was a map, a large grassland in the center was a dark gate, and to the east of the gate was a castle.
"Is this telling me to go east? is this still within the scope of the test?" Lu Li thought about it, and walked towards the east of the grassland, I don't know how long he walked, because of the pumpkin trousers, Lu Li didn't feel that his physical strength was consumed, but there was always a boundless green grassland in front of him, which made people wonder if this path was correct.
If it was someone else, they might have thought that they had been fooled by the map on the gate and returned the same way, but Lu Li couldn't feel the negative emotions, so there was less interference from the negative emotions, so he believed in his own judgment and never looked back.
Finally, Lu Li gradually reached his destination, a clear and winding river through the grassland, surrounding a majestic and magnificent castle, the destination seemed to be in front of him, but the test came again.
More than a dozen saber-toothed tigers with long teeth jumped out of the grass and surrounded Lu Li, leaving only a gap to the back, and the saber-toothed tiger led by it stood up, it looked at Lu Li, and then said: "This grassland is the territory of our saber-toothed tiger clan, we have reached an agreement with Theseus, and anyone who passes by here must leave the price." ”
"You kid has fine skin and tender meat, so we only charge for one thigh. The leader of the saber-toothed tiger said, and he didn't know where to take out a rusty firewood knife and throw it in front of Lu Li.
"Hurry up, choose your left or right leg, or go back the way you came, or cut off one of your legs for our food. The other saber-toothed tiger spoke, licked his tongue and said, "I think your meat must be very delicious." ”
Lu Li held the oil-paper umbrella and looked at the dozen or so saber-toothed tigers around him, he could feel that these creatures all had good magic power in their bodies, and they were not ordinary creatures, otherwise it would be impossible to speak human words, especially now that more than a dozen of them surrounded Lu Li together, it would be a bit troublesome.
"There's no way around it. Lu Li injected magic power into the dragon bone umbrella in his hand, and the black mist containing the magic power of the pitch-black shadow floated up, and began to slowly envelop the surrounding places, without the direct sunlight, Lu Li stretched out his body, put away the oil-paper umbrella in his hand, and condensed a pitch-black short blade with his other hand.
"I'll give this back to you. "With a pick of the foot, he picked up the firewood knife, shook his foot, and kicked the handle of the firewood knife, and the firewood knife shot directly into the body of a saber-toothed tiger, breaking its long fangs and piercing its mouth, and the saber-toothed tiger fell to the ground, blood kept flowing from its mouth, and it made a whining sound.
Before he made a move, a saber-toothed tiger pounced behind Lu Li, its body flashed with blood-red magic brilliance, and a shocking aura rushed into Lu Li's heart, as long as Lu Li was stunned for a while, he would die tragically in the mouth of the saber-toothed tiger.
It's just that the next moment, as if the shadow composed of countless tentacles rose from the ground, the shadow of the indefinite shape, kept wriggling, turned into tentacles, and jumped to the saber-toothed tiger behind Lu Li to vent that he couldn't move forward half a step, its body was bound by the shadow, like a flowing liquid, and the shadow poured into its body from all parts of its body, blooming a thorny flower.
Lu Li also raised the oil-paper umbrella in his left hand and knocked a saber-toothed tiger out of the air, his body kept jumping, and the shadow short blade in his right hand swiped to force a saber-toothed tiger back, and the touch of fear took itself as the source and launched it with all its strength towards the surroundings.
The saber-toothed tiger that swooped in front of Lu Li was stunned, and was hit on the head by an umbrella in Lu Li's left hand, like a watermelon exploding, red and white splashed everywhere, and a saber-toothed tiger pounced out from behind, with long teeth with a huge bite force, biting Lu Li's left shoulder.
The black flames bloomed, and the saber-toothed tiger was burned into a torch, letting out a cry of pain, and the activity was evaporated by the fire of anger, and it was burned alive into charcoal, and Lu Li's body was thrown away, leaving only two large teeth still on his shoulders.
The physical fitness of these saber-toothed tigers is not weak every time, and there is a kind of scarlet magic in their bodies, the most important thing is that there are more than a dozen, and when they cooperate with the attack, Lu Li is injured again.
