Chapter 10: The Value of a Water Serpent
Yansheng woke up from a groggy, trance, and daze, looked up at the sun, only the outline of a hazy red shadow, and wondered in his heart: "Is that the sun?"
Looking around, there was an ocean in the eye, and a blur in the distance, a stirring spirit was startled, jumping three feet high:
"Wait, why are my eyes so blurry?"
"Wait, that doesn't seem to be the point!"
"What about my hands, what about my feet? I, I've become a loach?"
Yansheng looked at the reflection in the water, swayed his body, and shouted, "It's actually a water snake, or a water snake the size of a loach!"
"Plop!" fell into the water, his heart was full of despair, the snake's belly turned up, as if he had given up resistance, after a while, he rolled a few times anxiously, and finally, slowly swam to the island not far away.
I thought to myself: "I like the seaside, but I absolutely hate the sea, I think of sharks, I think of piranhas, all kinds of super sea monsters, I shout 100,000 'don't' in my heart, this vast ocean, and there is no direction, which direction to swim is the shore, when I was a child, I was afraid of encountering water ghosts, how did this become a water snake, or a water snake in the sea."
Yansheng opened his mouth and shouted, but it turned into a small snake spitting out a letter and making a 'hiss' sound.
I had no choice but to swim while thinking: "The Survival Guide to the Waste Continent" says that what kind of animal it becomes depends on the degree of your waste, what is the level of the water snake? And it is a non-venomous water snake the size of a loach? This vast sea hides so many dangers, what should I do? God, why do you do this to me?
Afraid of something, I saw a huge black shadow floating under the water, and a dangerous aura was rapidly approaching.
Yansheng shook his body, instinctively stimulated, turned into an arrow off the string, dragged the long tail of water, and rushed to swim hard.
The water surface rises, and the large arc swayes, stirring up small waves, and the body of the snake the size of a loach is born, with the undulating small waves, high and low, left and right, forward and backward, backward and forward, completely uncontrollable.
The ancient roar, the howl like killing a pig, rushed straight to the surface of the water from the bottom of the sea, the immature scales on the snake's body instinctively tightened, and the water surface turned up a monstrous wave, Yansheng was thrown up fiercely, smashed down, the huge waves were wave after wave, strong impact, the body was stripped away, the sky swirled, unable to distinguish between east and west, north and south, and then fainted, and fainted.
When he woke up again, Yansheng had already appeared on a rock, as a snake, he was originally cold-blooded, but surprisingly, Yansheng actually felt hot and hot all over his body.
"Damn, I always faint at a critical moment? It's only been a long time since I've been in this shitty place, and I'm dizzy when I come in, and I'm dizzy when I see scorpions and snakes, and I'm dizzy after drinking some wine, and I'm dizzy after taking a bath, and a small fucking wave can knock me out, it's too unreasonable, and I don't have any psychological quality at all!" Yansheng complained, feeling more wasteful than when he was a human.
"Hey, why did you become such a water snake? God, open your eyes and see, I want to be a man!"
"Eh, why is this rock moving?" Yansheng noticed that the rock actually swam forward.
"I said brother, you've been lying on top of me for a long time, why don't you go into the water to swim?"
I saw the snake's head sway, the snake's tail swinged, rolled down the corner of the rock, 'dong', threw itself into the water, raised its head, and looked, it turned out to be a big turtle.
"Hey, brother, I understand you, can you understand me?" asked Yeonsheng tentatively.
The big turtle smiled, "Of course, all animal languages are the same!"
Yansheng asked, "Then are you also a human being?"
The big turtle said, "Does it matter? I don't remember!"
Yansheng asked, "How long have you been here?"
The big turtle replied, "It's been here since birth!"
Yansheng was curious: "Oh, then you're not human, aren't you?"
The big turtle laughed, "You're not human either!"
Yansheng said: "I am a snake during the day, and a human at night!"
The big turtle laughed and said, "Another fool who has been deceived, hahaha!"
Yansheng asked: "What are you cheated on, isn't this a waste continent!"
The big turtle shook his head and said: "This is the waste continent, but people are people, animals are animals, if animals want to become people, they need to cultivate and evolve, if you really drink the water of the heavenly spring, there will be the situation you said, telling you that at night, you are still a water snake." ”
Thunderbolt on a sunny day! Thunderbolt on a sunny day!!
Yansheng shouted: "Liars, they are all liars, why did they lie to me, what right do they have to lie to me!"
The turtle said angrily: "It's people like you who are timid, cowardly, inferior, and unpopular, what's wrong with lying to you, who stipulates that you can't be lied to, besides, it's your own choice, isn't it?Always remember the most popular words in the Waste Continent 'Make a choice, be responsible for your choice', the way of salvation is in it, look forward to your growth, little guy!"
Yansheng began to think about it again, immersed in his own imaginary world, such as: What good are they lying to me, why can the people of Nirvana City enjoy the life of being a human for half a day, that is what he saw with his own eyes, rabbits, foxes, big bears, it doesn't make sense, why does this old turtle say that it needs to evolve and cultivate to become a human, Williamham clearly said that as long as you drink Tianluo spring water, you can survive in the way of humans and beasts at the same time...... Why?
The turtle stirs up the water and awakens Yansheng. The little snake looked at the turtle blankly, and the turtle looked at the little snake helplessly, looking at each other, it was really a little... Embarrassed.
The turtle opened his mouth and said: "As a person who has come over, I will send you a sentence of 'think about the problem, start from the actual situation, and don't deviate too far', and you must recognize the status quo."
Extended life in a trance.
The turtle said: "Those questions about where I came from and where I am going, throw them to those who have nothing to do when they are full of food and have nothing to do, thinking that you are a snake now, this is reality, a non-venomous water snake the size of a loach, this is the cruel reality." The wood is already in the boat, who cares about the tree?"
Snake head tap.
The turtle said, "Climb on my back, and I'll take you to the nearest island, maybe closer to land, so you can feel safe!"
Yansheng is overjoyed, the snake head is crazy, for him, this is what he needs most at the moment, it turns out that the water makes him insecure, once he loses his sense of security, he will be afraid, he will panic when he is afraid, he will think wildly, and he will think wildly, and the thinking is boundless and endless.
The turtle shell surfaced on the water, and the little snake attached to the turtle shell, the vastness and depth of the ocean, the calm and the turbulence, are all full of endless unknowns, which are full of challenges for those who like to take risks, but for a person who is timid, inferior, and cowardly, it is absolutely torture.
After swimming for a long time, the vague outline of an island came into view, and the little snake spat out a letter, sensing the smell of earth in the sea breeze, and his heart unconsciously jumped.
The turtle surfaced and said to the little snake: "This island is called 'no bones remaining', the island is dangerous and abnormal, you must be careful everywhere."
The little snake said: "Thank you for the reminder, but the name of this island is 'domineering' enough!"
The turtle said: "The name is never for nothing, just like my name is 'carefree', the elders want me to be carefree, simple, and safe, what about you, little snake, what is your name?"
The little snake said: " My name is Yansheng, my father mostly hopes that I can live a little longer, so that I can feed a little, and there may be another layer of meaning, extending everything, but the premise is that the length of my life is long enough, so as to extend the thickness, width, and height of life!”
The turtle smiled: "You just think too much, in my opinion, your elders simply hope that you will live longer!"
Yansheng smiled, noncommittal. After thinking about it, he said: "Then this 'no bones' is really no bones!"
The turtle said: "It may or may not be, after all, the truth is in the hands of those who have practiced it, and I have not landed on this island, so I can't make any conclusions!"
Yeonsheng didn't ask any more questions. The red wheel fell westward and submerged below the horizon.
The turtle said, "Okay, now it's time to make a choice, do you choose to go to the island and feel the land, or do you want to continue to float in the sea?"
Yan Sheng said without thinking: "Of course I chose to land, this sea is hell for me!"
The turtle smiled: "If you make a choice, you have to be responsible, stop complaining, go!"
The turtle slowly sank, and Yansheng swayed the snake's body, gradually approaching the island, which at night was like a sleeping beast, exuding a dark and terrifying aura.
Crawling through the shallows of gravel thickets, crossing the road covered with sand, the scent of mud and bushes stimulated the nerves of the little snake, as the turtle 'carefree' said, he was still the little snake, at night, did not transform into a human body, maybe more or less, he looked forward to, at least, half of the reason for his landing, was the fear that he would still wander in the water after he became a man. Now it seems that the hope of becoming a human being has been disappointed.
"Make a choice, be responsible for the choice", this sentence echoed in his mind, sorted out his emotions, and crawled forward in the dark.
There are no lights, no fishing fires, only the cold toad wheel, which hangs high in the light alone.
Silence, deathly silence, danger, the smell of danger in the air, instinct, instinct awakening.
"The only way to control the overall situation is the commanding heights, yes, the commanding heights!"
The snake body swayed, walked through the leaves and branches, looked for the tallest tree, climbed to the highest branch, observed the battlefield terrain, observed the battle situation, and grasped the absolute initiative.
"Listen, there's a sound, it's a howl, that's the last distress signal after the prey is chased by the hunter to the Jedi!"
"Listen, it's the scream, the hunter has launched the last attack, the cry of death after the prey is in a desperate situation!"
"Listen, and the sound, it's my heartbeat, it's fluctuating, it's hot, it's the only evidence of being alive!"
It's just, in the world of beasts, who is the prey and who is the hunter?
And I'm nothing more than a non-venomous water snake the size of a loach.
