Chapter 127: Food
I walked for more than ten minutes to get to the second floor, which shows how long the stairs are. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The environment here is much brighter than the first floor, and it is also much more crowded, and the space is filled with all kinds of food, from the usual foods of daily life to the oddly shaped unknown fruits, like a large warehouse.
In order, the second level of original sin is gluttony, which usually refers to wasting food and coveting comfort.
Just by looking at these things, you can't guess the content of the corresponding trial.
Xiao Yihong said loudly, "Food, this is also a terrible temptation, but don't underestimate the most familiar part of eating"
This cannot be denied, some people in the world are greedy for power, some people don't love the country and love beauty, but there is another type of people who only want to have fun.
Gluttony is not a simple craving, but a strong need for food. Some people turn their grief into appetite, while others don't want to be hungry at all, they just want to stuff something into their mouths.
It's like in real life, even if you don't feel hungry, you still have a hand full of snacks. This phenomenon is not for the most basic physiological intake of energy, but for the sake of eating dumb and swollen, not only will not add nutrients, but will cause a burden on the body.
In fact, the human body needs to replenish not much energy in a day, but it still has to eat enough, which is purely to satisfy the inner satisfaction.
Humans are different from any other living thing, food is not just a necessity for functioning, otherwise why would there be so much processing? What about boiling and stir-frying food that could have been eaten directly, and adding a lot of condiments? In the beginning, human beings also ate raw meat, but due to the discovery of the fire source this kind of processed products that can make food more delicious, since then it is no longer the mainstream of raw food, over time, because of the passage of time, most of people's stomachs have been unable to adapt to fresh food, can only eat heated things, and use imagination and various trial and error, to create a variety of flavors and shapes of food, to put it simply... To this day, even if it is a poisonous animal, as long as the poison source is cleaned up, human chefs can turn them into a plate of delicacies, flying in the sky, swimming in the water, climbing on the land, drilling in the grass and even buried in the ground, all of which are not spared.
Originally, according to common sense, people take food as their day, and normal eating is necessary, which is understandable. However, some people in the world just like to constantly explore new taste buds, and because of the comfort of life and material abundance, they are less and less aware of the preciousness of food, and a large number of people have long forgotten that food is the most precious gift given by God in addition to life.
Therefore, gluttony, one of the seven sins, is not an accusation of eating, but a greed for trampling on food even when it has already been satisfied. To use the more ridiculous language now, it is... Eat and hold up.
Everything has to be done in a certain way, and once it is excessive, it can be called "sin".
Xi was originally a person with weak desires, Yin wanted him to wake up quickly, not to mention gluttony, Xiao Yihong's heart was not worried about him.
First of all, he has been an orphan since he was a child, not only the kind of loneliness who lost his parents, but also the all-round singleness that lacks friendship and love.
He never lacks gratitude, and he also treats food, which seems to be a basic guarantee, with a cherished mentality.
But since it is a trial of the Demon God Tower, it will definitely not be as simple as it seems.
Sure enough, after the mental power was slightly concentrated on these dazzling, colorful, flavorful, and stimulating food in front of him, a strong feeling of hunger suddenly emerged.
You must know that in the world of half-souls, whether it is the invitee or the guide, life will be "temporarily" stopped, that is, no matter how much time has passed, Dimi will not starve to death without entering.
Hee hasn't experienced this kind of desire for hunger for a long time, and he usually eats and drinks casually just for fun, and doesn't expect food to maintain his body functions.
But now looking at these delicacies, he actually has a long-lost craving. The smell of the smell, the tender pieces of meat, and the colorful liquid in the bottle, whether it was wine or drink, all of this was like a beggar who had been hungry for several days suddenly walked to the table of the Manchurian people.
Swallowing his saliva heavily, this hunger became stronger and stronger, and it was as if his stomach was emptied. Later, he even hallucinated, as if the golden chicken legs and baguettes had moved on their own, and the rising heat turned into a palm, and he made a few seductive movements with his index finger.
Hee kept his mouth shut at this time, and he had no doubt that if he opened it a little bit, his saliva would flow out unconsciously.
Xiao Yihong said to him with a side face, "Calm down, this is still a tentative small level, and there will be a more fierce offensive ahead."
He closed his eyes and shook his head vigorously, trying to distract himself. But even if you don't have to look at it with your eyes, your mind is still full of images of various delicacies, not to mention the aromas that come in waves before your nose is closed.
Xi also knew that these things looked like delicacies from the mountains and seas, but he couldn't eat them in one bite, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. It's like the home of a witch in a candy house, if you can't resist the temptation to eat anything, you will wake up the sleeping witch and eat the greedy child alive.
The sweetness of butter and cheese, the crispiness of the protein after grilling, the aroma of wine... These scents surround you and constantly stimulate your taste buds. Fortunately, Hee is not an ordinary person, and this level of temptation cannot control his body, compared to it, the difficulty of the previous level is much greater.
Hee simply sat on the ground, didn't look at his eyes, and only breathed through his mouth, trying to block the temptation of this delicacy. Let the hunger pangs tear at his stomach and taste, and do nothing.
After almost half an hour of mental torture, the "poisonous" smell finally dissipated, and when I opened my eyes again, the various delicacies in the room were long gone, and the surroundings were empty, except for the Beelzebub Golem that was somehow displayed there.
It's finally over, to say that this level of temptation can be endured even by ordinary people, provided that although that person does not necessarily have to be full, at least he must not be hungry.
The reason why Hee felt tempted by his mind was because his hunger was infinitely magnified, and it was true that he hadn't seen so much delicious food for a long time, and he could often eat real-world things in this half-soul world.
But as with the first level, illusions are but the most superficial of trials, and the real difficulties are yet to begin ... (To be continued.) )
