Chapter 38: Fleshing in the Lake
The rich aroma comes to the face, and the blue lake exudes a unique magic with the fragrance permeating the fragrance. It made Zhong Yuan can't help but be immersed in it, and his steps are even more unconscious to step forward, as if he is about to sink into the lake.
"The body is like a mirror, and the wisdom is like an eye. Look at yourself and see the other, the good is like water......"
However, the moment his feet touched the blue water, the scriptures chanted in his mind exploded in Zhong Yuan's mind at that moment. As a result, his whole body shook suddenly, as if he was shivering, and he quickly woke up completely from that blurred state.
"Is this the holy liquid that comes out of my memory? It's a little scary, isn't it? ”
Zhong Yuan muttered in his mouth, the memory he was referring to was naturally the son of the blacksmith who appeared in the evil sea. However, when he set his eyes on the blue lake, there was no greed in his eyes, nor did he appear as he should have comfort, but a faint layer of jealousy.
"I'll just say why those psychedelic steel beasts who stayed in the void suddenly came here, it's no wonder that this city will be besieged by those things, it turns out that the main reason is that it is here."
At the moment when a look of jealousy appeared in Zhong Yuan's eyes, the voice that had been silent sounded from his stomach again. And that tone is no longer the kind of rebuke just now, but with a little melancholy, which makes people sound not very embarrassed, very complicated.
"What the hell is this, why is my body willing to choose to sink in that instant after seeing this lake and smelling the fragrance wafting from the lake."
Zhong Yuan's jealous heart began to let go, his pale face gradually returned to normal, and he took a big breath in his mouth, and then asked it slowly when the mouse's melancholy words fell. After all, the previous scene was so weird, so weird that if it hadn't been for the empty Mingjue that came to mind in time, maybe he would have really died in a daze.
"The essence of the king is originally a fatal attraction to creatures like us, not to mention that this king was originally born from the psychedelic steel beasts, do you think they can not go crazy? And with the aroma of this deadly illusion, and still so close to the source, can you still control your heart? Although I don't know what method you used to suppress it, causing you to not choose to sink in the end, but based on this, I have to admire you, you have such a definition at such an age, looking at the whole earth, there are really few people who can resist the temptation from the depths of your heart at your age. ”
The mysterious mouse responded slowly, but in those words, although Zhong Yuan couldn't see the expression it appeared at this moment, he could also feel a trace of shock derived from its heart. At the same time, it also made Zhong Yuan clear about the strength of the wind, fire, and emptiness.
Isn't it? You have to know the mouse in Lu Dao's body, even if it doesn't tell Zhong Yuan exactly where it came from. But if Zhong Yuan only imagined it as a gutter rat, then he would have completely admitted that he was a fool. So even though he wasn't sure that it was the terrifying giant rat that was deep in the starry sky, he had already imprinted it with a powerful symbol in his heart, which also made him even more shocked by the secret of wind and fire left behind by his father.
"What's the use of such a thing?"
The dreamlike smoke still lingered on the water, and bursts of aroma swarmed, making Zhong Yuan feel extremely comfortable. However, in that comfort, if it weren't for the empty secret in operation, Zhong Yuan would have become a slave to that fragrance long ago, and he would not have his own spiritual intelligence. Therefore, he was extremely jealous of this blue lake, and he couldn't help but be suspicious of the mouse, so he said such words in his mouth.
"When I saw this place, I was worried. But since you can suppress that incense, then I don't have any worries. ”
As soon as Zhong Yuan's words fell, the mysterious mouse did not respond to him immediately, but put aside the question and slowly said such words in his mouth. This made Zhong Yuan frown suddenly, his pale face became a little solemn, and his body was still standing in the distance, without any movement.
"Do you mean to let me go down?"
After a long time, Zhong Yuan's immobile body took a step forward when the solemnity eased slightly. However, a questioning word was also blurted out, causing him to stand still suddenly when he stepped out of the body, and his eyes revealed a dazzling essence at that moment.
"The essence of the king is an unattainable treasure of refining body in the entire universe, if I could get it at the beginning, how could I have fallen to this point. So it's all good for you, and besides, haven't you already made a decision! Why are you asking me, little one? ”
The mouse spoke again, with a clear look of envy in his words, and after he had finished speaking. Its words changed suddenly, from envy to ridicule, and the corners of Zhong Yuan's mouth suddenly showed a smile, and then he didn't say much, and stepped into the blue lake with his empty clear technique.
The cold feeling did not pour in from the lake as Zhong Yuan expected. On the contrary, the moment his leg touched the lake, a warm feeling suddenly spread all over his body, which made him shiver. However, he quickly recovered, because under his feelings, the heat began to heat up gradually, until when he came to the center of the lake, the lake completely engulfed the whole body, and the whole body was no longer exposed, but a scorching heat like a volcanic eruption.
"How can it be so hot, is this the means of refining the body in this lake?"
The engulfed body did not feel any suffocation, but became more relaxed. However, the scorching heat derived from the water made Zhong Yuan's entire face become hideous and distorted, as if he was a demon crawling out of hell, so that at that moment, he couldn't help but let out an angry roar in the water.
"The essence of the star beast is the rarest thing between heaven and earth, not to mention that it is left behind by a king, which is even more rare. If you can't even endure this pain, how will you go into the stars in the future, and how will you become the most powerful mecha warrior? ”
The mouse, who was originally going to fall asleep, opened his eyes again under Zhong Yuan's roar, but if Zhong Yuan could see the mouse face, he would definitely find that it was an indifferent face. For the first time, a solemn color appeared, and at the moment of solemn appearance, and the moment the words spoke, you could still see the anger hidden in the solemnity.
Yes!
The rat is indeed angry, you must know that this kind of thing, even if it is alive, it is a treasure that cannot be found. If it weren't for the fact that it was now just a spirit and had just woken up and weakened, it really wouldn't mind taking this human body that it hated the most in its life. However, now the human boy seems to be unable to bear even this little pain, how can this not arouse the monstrous anger of the mouse, but even if it is triggered, it can only be reprimanded with words, because they are originally one, and the mouse cannot do anything at all, unless it is to take away, or to peel off the mouse, there is no other way.
If it had been before, the rat would not have looked down on this fragile and disgusting human body, but now in the face of this extreme temptation, it has just awakened and has no certainty that it will succeed. As for stripping, it was more unrealistic than snatching, just think about it, so the mouse at that moment, after finishing speaking, closed his eyes and fell into silence again.
Hula!
The reprimand of the rat, Zhong Yuan's hideous face changed suddenly, and his heart was even more awe-inspiring, he believed that the rat at this time would not harm himself, after all, it would not be of the slightest benefit to it, but there would be great harm. So I agreed with its words, but the heat was unbearable, as if I was picked up by a scurrying and taken to the barbecue stall to barbecue, which made Zhong Yuan almost wail several times, but in the end he held back. And at that moment, the strange sound of rattling was clearly resounding in his ears.
I don't know where the abnormal noise came from, but Zhong Yuan was sure that it was definitely not caused by the fluctuation of the lake's water. Because since he came down, although the scorching heat spread all over his body, causing him to suffer great pain, but his eyes did not close because of this, but opened like cow pupils, which also made him clearly see that even if the lake water was swarming towards him, it did not cause any ripples, which was very weird.
"It turned out to be my own body."
His eyes stared, and he didn't notice any difference around him, but when his eyes lowered, the body that was standing in the center of the lake couldn't help but take a few steps back in horror. But even so, the lake water was like air, and it didn't show any abnormalities, but the words that came out of Zhong Yuan's mouth could make him listen more clearly.
The flesh was peeled off from the body piece by piece, prompting a white bone to begin to appear in the eye, but in this part, Zhong Yuan did not even feel a trace of pain except for feeling the extreme heat. Therefore, this made him even more frightened, and also prompted a kind of torture that was widely spread in the Ming Dynasty to appear in his mind.
Legend has it that in the era of Ming Taizu, if an official dared to bend the law for bribes, then he would definitely be found out by the vicious Jinyi Guard, and then handed over to the Criminal Department for disposal. On the second day, he would be pulled into the punishment ground, and in full view of everyone, he would enjoy the most brutal torture of that era, which was also the skinning torture invented by Taizu himself.
"I'm even more cruel than skinning, I'm just skinned without pain!"
Zhong Yuan's hideous face suddenly revealed a touch of bitterness, after all, his current situation was more terrible than peeling. You must know that although the skinned sinner will not be able to bear to get out of the crack under the infusion of mercury, at least there are bones and flesh left. But now Zhong Yuan, under the scorching heat, he didn't feel any pain at all, so he quietly peeled off pieces of flesh and blood.
