Chapter 15: The Quagmire of Desire
The earth and rocks above the quagmire tumbled, setting off turbid waves like dragons and snakes, and black smoke billowed out.
The whirlpools in the pool are condensed, large and small, interlocking, like countless wormhole-like spaces. It exudes a gorgeous, psychedelic color like the aurora borealis.
Ji Yuan was sucked into these huge twisted whirlpools like wormholes, and his body drilled back and forth, as if he was constantly shuttling through the inexplicable space, as if he was about to reach another world.
From time to time, a terrifying huge force was transmitted from the whirlpool, like a grinding disc, turning in a circle, grinding Ji Yuan's body.
Ji Yuan gathered strength, his whole body exuded a white light, and the essence of the ginseng fruit in his body boiled, constantly neutralizing and digesting the highly toxic qi to protect his body.
In the dark colored mire, Ji Yuan's body was as pure as a baby, lying quietly in his mother's placenta.
He clenched his fists, exuding an ignorant, nascent air. Gradually returning to the innate nature, it seems to turn into a huge embryo, with the shadow of both a dragon and a tiger and a giant elephant, resisting the ferocious poisonous gas and pressure in the quagmire.
He kept diving, entrenched in the twisted space beneath the mire, glorious and sacred, like an innate deity.
The surrounding area was covered with whirlpools extending in all directions, like wormhole tunnels, constantly wriggling, as if sending power from the void to Ji Yuan.
Legend has it that outside the human world, there are countless battlefields of gods and demons, fighting the power of destroying the heavens and the earth, breaking through the originally isolated Three Realms and connecting them by the infinite void turbulence. Only then did all kinds of immortal qi and demonic qi leak down, so that mortals could practice.
The neighing sound of the snow-white beast bones like dragons and snakes was getting closer and closer, and Ji Yuan hugged his body even harder, shrinking himself even smaller. Let the whirlpool turn, drift with the current, like a small fish, keep running away.
Suddenly, his body tightened, and a stream of terrible poisonous gas rushed to his face.
This poisonous gas actually changed into a hideous form, poisonous insects, fierce beasts, dragons and snakes, devils, extremely fierce, like living creatures, it is the most violent filthy gas between heaven and earth.
Ji Yuan immediately sensed that this extremely strong poisonous gas could completely corrode his body, and it was impossible for the ginseng fruit's recovery ability to resist it.
"What kind of poisonous gas is left behind by this thing, like a living thing, it can devour nutrients and grow stronger?!"
These devils condensed by poisonous gases discovered Ji Yuan, like a shark smelling blood in the sea and bee chrysalis came.
Ji Yuan's skin instantly festered, revealing flesh and blood twisted like steel wire.
The poison gas continued to spread, the muscles dissolved, and the sheep's fat and jade-like bones underneath were exposed.
"Am I going to be poisoned here? I'm not reconciled! ”
A strong resentment suddenly rose in his heart, the suffering he had endured, the days of survival, the cold, the hunger, the abuse...... Like a marquee, it is vivid.
"There are still many things I haven't done, and there are still many places I haven't been to......"
Even now, after seeing countless cruelties and ugliness in this world, Ji Yuan still firmly believes that somewhere, there is a beautiful and pure land that he has never seen!
As time passed, the poison demon had devoured Ji Yuan's flesh and blood all over his body, becoming stronger and more hideous.
The sharp fangs bit hard at his mutton fat jade-like bones, trying to suck the beating internal organs wrapped in it.
Ji Yuan became unrecognizable, the only remaining half of his face was full of despair, he no longer had any strength to hold on, tired and empty, he just wanted an eternal sleep.
At this moment, from where in his body, bloodshot glass beads rolled down.
These glass beads are crystal clear, exuding a strange blood-colored light, in the dark and silent quagmire, like stars in the night sky.
Ji Yuan recognized it, this was when refining the immortal primordial god before, the ginseng fruit essence combined with the distorted minds of all sentient beings to form the primordial god relic.
He felt the majestic vitality of ginseng fruit among the relics of the primordial gods, as well as the strong desire of sentient beings that had accumulated for thousands of years and could not be resolved.
It seems that it is these two that create the strange scene of the cycle of birth and death of all things inside.
Ji Yuan looked at this magnificent scene obsessively, this body that had lost its flesh and blood, and could actually feel the warm brilliance in the Yuan Shen Relic.
He couldn't help but think, he couldn't help but ask.
"What is life? What is desire? ”
"Buddhists often say that the four are empty, and Taoism pays attention to forgetfulness. This is all about giving up desires, and if you give up desires, there will be no suffering. ”
"But without desire, without pain, people will live well?"
"Gaining is desire, and losing is also desire. Pleasure is desire, and pain is also desire. Concern is, worry is, freedom is ......"
The flesh on his face had finally been wiped away, and only a snow-white skull remained, and there were still eyes in the eye sockets that were full of confusion and emptiness with crimson veins.
"Without desire, there is no meaning in life! Without desire, there is no meaning in the existence of the world! ”
Ji Yuan's eyes suddenly burst out with a strong light, and there was a strong desire in the light.
"The scenery in this world is infinite, I want to live freely, I want to drink, I want to eat meat, I also want to ask for a wife, hehe!"
"Since the end of all things is to perish, to nothingness. Before that, why do you want to force yourself not to aspire and not dream?! ”
Ji Yuan opened his jaw fiercely, swallowed the Yuan Shen Relic into his mouth in one gulp, and then fell out of his empty chin again.
He took the trouble to pick it up, and he took the trouble to swallow it, and finally bit all the relics of the original god.
The vast life essence was like a flame, evaporating the poisonous gas, covering Ji Yuan's white bone body in an instant.
The infinite desires of all beings condensed into dark golden blood vessels and muscles, spreading and entwining like cobwebs. Quickly reshaped the original appearance of Ji Yuan, turning it into a divine body similar to the immortal primordial god, with condensed faith.
Ji Yuan snorted lightly, and the highly poisonous devils, dragons, snakes, and fierce beasts in the quagmire burst open one after another, turning into flame-like essence and melting into his body.
His dark golden body gradually became vivid, his eyes, ears, mouth and nose were vivid, and they changed into the color and texture of flesh and blood.
At this moment, Ji Yuan is no longer afraid of this highly poisonous quagmire.
Because he had already seen that the fierce poison in it, and even the entire quagmire, was the flesh and blood and resentment of the snow-white beast bones before his death.
That's why it grows and changes like a living creature.
And his current body is already a wonderful existence of half-flesh and half-god. The poisonous gas and resentment in this quagmire are a great tonic for him.
The whirlpool in the quagmire exploded, as if tens of thousands of pounds of sea water were thrown high and smashed down from the sky.
At the center of the explosion was a snow-white beast bone more than ten zhang long, like a dragon and a python, pouring mountains and seas.
Ji Yuan heard a huge roar in his ears again, like a god in the sky who controlled the thunder, driving the chariot, shining brightly, rolling and rolling over.
Ji Yuan was not in a hurry, his eyes were shining, and he was full of seven emotions and six desires.
"That's what a living person should look like, right?"
