Chapter 53: Huh
The potion slid down his throat, and a bitter taste similar to Chinese medicine came up, but after a while, it produced a faint medicinal aroma, so that it was not so unpleasant. After a deep and long hiccup, Zhao Mai felt as if his whole body was being soaked in warm water, wet and warm, fluttering and swaying.www.biquge.info
The field of vision begins to blur, and ghosting and afterimages continue to appear. The realization tree in front of me became several, repeating the changes of shape-shifting, flickering and hazy. The druid writing on the bark of the tree, glowing slightly silvery-white, began to become clear and enormous. Sure enough, as Ziyue said, like countless heads, flying around in the sky.
Zhao Mai seems to have fallen into a lucid dream, and the dividing line between fantasy and reality has fallen apart. On the one hand, he saw the Earth: Antarctic penguins dancing with African elephants, dolphins and goshawks flying with wings, and on the other hand, he saw the beauty of Galiaon, or Ash Lake to be exact: sparkling lakes, flocks of white waterfowl, black panthers leaping between the branches and treetops. Every picture is real, but every picture is also illusory. The images are constantly changing, and animals, plants, algae, fungi, and even microorganisms and viruses burst out of the illusion one by one.
The head that Druidvan had turned into grew eyes and mouths. Thousands of pairs of eyes stared at Zhao Mai, and thousands of mouths spoke at the same time: "Do you want to connect with the Force?
For the sake of nature, for the sake of balance, for the sake of truth? Zhao Mai shook his head, these were not his original intentions. "I wanted to gain strength so that I could help my father get rid of his disease. ”
"You don't deserve such power, you're worthless!" the heads shouted angrily, flames burning in their eyes. "Eat more, pull more, learn more, and destroy more! You are just the carrier of destruction, the tool of doom! You see it in your eyes but you don't remember it in your heart, put it in your mind but don't integrate it into your feelings, you have nothing to say in your mouth, only on the road of destroying yourself, you are clever and stride!"
In the face of accusations, Zhao Mai raised his hand and applauded vigorously. "Well said!"
"Don't you have any shame?" the heads glared at Zhao Mai, flying slowly around him, scrutinizing carefully.
"Do you think I should hurry up and be ashamed, or should I seize the time and take advantage of this hard-won opportunity to connect with the Natural Force?" Zhao Mai only felt that his eyelids began to sink, and it was already difficult to stare at those heads that were spinning around. A feeling of sleepiness came over me, as if I had been studying all night for three days in a row. "Why is there no druid, no magic, no divine power in my world, and why is there no one giant tree that leads to enlightenment?"
The heads fell silent, rising like bubbles, and then popping and popping. "I have to help my family so that I can do something else. I don't know if you've heard a word, I don't know if you can understand: self-cultivation, family, governance, and peace in the world. ”
The last skull stopped, and the crack appeared between its brow bones, but it hadn't caused a burst yet. The flames in his eyes faded and turned an ocean of blue. It opened its mouth and said, "In this case, we will give you the opportunity to cultivate yourself." ”
A bolt of lightning struck down and poured over his head and onto the soles of his feet. Zhao Mai was directly blown up, and stood upright on the ground. Druid characters, oh no, the Chinese characters of Xiao Seal and Lishu rose into the air one by one, and then lined up in a column and flew into Zhao Mai's eyes. He couldn't control his body, he couldn't even blink, he could only watch and read.
All these adventures he had experienced were only in the ocean of his mind, or in the realm of the forces of nature, for the inland sea. And in the vast world outside, Zhao Mai is just a poor guy lying on the ground, trembling all over, foaming at the mouth, and turning the whites of his eyes. The reserve food screamed around him, jumping around in a hurry, but there was nothing he could do.
"Teacher, how can we save him, I haven't heard of such a thing happening when he is enlightened?" Ziyue dragged Ms. Celine's arm and shook it: "Let's drag him out?"
"Ziyue is right, I think the ceremony should be terminated immediately, and everything should be prioritized by Mike-san's life. Lucius said: "Self-indulgence often hides a great crisis, and forcibly becoming enlightened without any foundation is a risk in itself." Teacher, you must have a way to end the ceremony, right?"
Elf Celine and Black Long Straight Afra did not speak, but kept staring at Zhao Mai, who was constantly twitching. From him, he constantly exudes vigor and vitality, which does not look like something is wrong. How to end the ritual under the effect of continuous buffs and healing spells, do you have to drag him out, pry open his teeth, and pour poison down?
Even if his body is harmed, he should be able to heal under the effect of continuous treatment. The only reason for the current phenomenon is the psychiatric cause. The elf Celine teaches apprentices full-time, and in her long life, she has seen enlightenment a thousand times, and although it is the first time that she has been as "heartbreaking" as Mike, it is not without precedent.
Elder Joseph's enlightenment in his youth was also spent in pain and suffering. His psychic ability, that is, telepathic ability, was forcibly broken by the Force when communicating with the Natural Force. Countless voices roared in his head, and according to Joseph's description afterwards, "it was the roar of ten thousand waves crashing against the boulder at the same time, but each crash of the waves was clearly distinguishable." At one point I thought my mind was going to explode with a thud, but after getting through it, I enjoyed a sense of peace, peace, and calm. ”
I don't know what kind of feeling Mike is experiencing now, but I guess it's even more intense than Joseph. Joseph held his head and yelled, but at least he didn't lose control of his body, and he didn't foam at the mouth! In Celine's heart, a thought unconsciously rose in her mind that she didn't believe very much: "Could it be that Mike's qualifications are better than Joseph's?"
Because of this thought, she did not step forward to end the ceremony, but waited patiently. Natural changes are never achieved overnight, and only patience can feel the ups and downs.
Ziyue may also have seen that something was wrong, biting her pale blue fingernails and looking curiously at Mike, who was like a jumping shrimp. Lucius was still making noise, trying to persuade himself to "get Mike out" quickly. Alas, it's too impatient, maybe it's because his blood and talent are too good, so he doesn't want to wait and can't sink his mind?
He should be educated more in this regard, Celine made up her mind.
After Zhao Mai trembled for a while, he slowly calmed down, and put his hand on the head of the reserve grain while groping. The puppy felt the owner's touch and immediately calmed down. Although Zhao Mai froze again, it shook its head and rubbed it in the palm of its master's hand.
The wind blows through the Bodhi tree, and the branches, leaves, and fruits sway, making a rustling sound. A beam of sunlight swept through the thick canopy of trees over Zhao Mai's closed eyelids. He opened his eyes, and the earthy brown, grass green, aqua blue, and blood red faded from his eyes one by one, leaving only the white of the light and the black of the night.
Another breath of rebirth turned into a soft "heh" between the lips and teeth.
