Chapter 233: Fear of Death
It seems that in addition to the color, the colorful road has returned to normal, and it seems that it has come out of the heart of fear, but Xu Youzhi said, this is an illusion.
Even if the colorful road is fully restored, it is exactly the same as at the beginning, it is still an illusion.
As long as you embark on the path of heart refining, you will be in the illusion all the time, and the illusion will disappear unless you reach the end or be eliminated.
"I don't know what kind of fear Lu Dao is this time...... he thought to himself, and without hesitation, he strode on the colorful path that had faded in color.
Prior to this, the Fear Illusion had changed several times in a row, from the cliff abyss at the beginning, to the sword rain and spear forest, and then to the lava river, each time the fear was deepening, but it was forced down by Xu You with the spirit magic technique.
I don't know what the fear of the faded road will be.
Xu You walked slowly, the road was quiet, nothing happened, but there was an inexplicable strange feeling coming, as if something had been lost, and it was temporarily undetectable.
He was slightly puzzled, but he didn't stop, and still strode forward.
After half a ring, as he continued to move forward, the strange feeling began to become apparent, as if he was losing something beautiful, and once he lost it, he could never get it back.
But what is lost, I don't know it.
Suddenly, Xu You felt slightly tired, he had walked less than a few hundred steps, but he had a feeling as if he had walked for a long, long time, and the vicissitudes of his steps.
The soft, cold light shone down on his head, dragging his shadow long on the ground, and when he looked closely, the shadow was already hunched on its back, like an old man walking.
Xu You didn't care, maybe this was a fear from loneliness? It can also be suppressed.
He continued to walk, his footsteps making a crisp sound on the cold ground.
The silent black and white colorful road has never changed, only the tired and strange feeling is getting stronger and stronger, as if he is not taking a normal path, but the vicissitudes of time.
Gradually, Xu You heard his own wheezing. It is like a scalper who is overwhelmed and is losing its vitality.
His mind also became rigid, and he didn't even want to think about what would happen to him, and the memory of the past of the tomb flowed in his mind, revealing the dim twilight curtain, as if it were the groan of a dying man.
The vision began to blur, and the black and white road became shadowy, and gradually it was no longer clear, but blurred.
In the shredded light. Those black and white colors suddenly combined automatically, gradually transforming into a terrifying giant skeleton, making a creepy sound, and slowly beckoning to him.
"What's going on? This is the Grim Reaper beckoning to me?" Xu You finally felt a sense of danger in his heart, and he was suddenly startled and stopped.
Suddenly, he felt something strange in his face, and he was becoming stiff, so he beckoned to conjure up a mirror. When I looked in the mirror, I couldn't help but be surprised.
Him in the mirror. Where is the young man, it is clearly an old man in his last years.
The hair was thinning and gone, and the muscles on his face were atrophied, covered with walnut-like wrinkles and spots, and he looked unusually old and had a strong smell of decay. It seems to be on the verge of death.
Xu You's pupils constricted, and he looked at himself in disbelief.
He walked forward slowly, his hair falling more and wrinkles deeper as he paced. The back is also hunched and older, and the vitality of life is gradually disappearing.
It turned out that I lost my life...... Xu You finally understood what the beautiful feeling of loss was that he had gone all the way.
There is no threat, no attack, and no danger on this faded path, but it can cost you your life and feel the deep fear of death.
It comes from the heart, from instinctive fear, which cannot be suppressed.
"Am I afraid of death...... Xu You said to himself, he did feel the fear of death, if it weren't for the automatic operation of the Spirit Divine Technique, I'm afraid the fear would not be able to be suppressed.
"All fear stems from death and the unknown, this is a path of death, and with every step you take, Shouyuan will be lost until the end. Xuyunzi's voice rang out, "The fear of death is also the deepest fear, if you can't overcome it, you won't be able to get past it." ”
"Having said that, who is not afraid of death?" Xu You said.
"It's true that everyone is afraid of death, but who can not die?" said Xuyunzi meaningfully.
Xu You's heart shook violently, yes, who can not die?
Monks are also human beings, at most they get a little more longevity than mortals, and when longevity arrives, they will still die.
Since you know that you will die, you can either fight with the heavens and fight for more life for yourself, or you will look down on life and death and be fearless.
If it's the former, and you don't even dare to break into this little illusion of death, then what's the point of fighting for your life with the sky?
Thinking of this, Xu You's eyes froze, and a heart that had become old instantly burst into brilliance, as if it had been reborn, experienced tempering, faded away the rotten shell, and had a feeling of sublimation of life.
He put away the mirror and strode forward as the spirit moved.
With each step, he became older, his hair quickly fell out, his skin continued to decay and fall off, his bones quickly turned white and gray and black, one by one fell off, and his flesh and veins quickly turned into ashes.
Xu You felt that he was constantly decomposing, but this could not hinder his steps forward, his feet had been broken, so he used his knees to move forward, and when his knees were broken, he had thighs to move forward, and his lower body was gone, even if he climbed, he had to crawl forward.
Gradually, his body began to turn to ashes, from his waist, to his chest, to his neck, to his head.
After the last moment, nothing existed, and Xu You could still feel his consciousness and still advancing.
To fight for one's life with heaven is to defeat death, and if you are afraid of death, how can you defeat it? If you are not afraid of death, death will fear you.
I don't know how long the road has been advancing, but the feeling of fear suddenly disappears.
A dazzling light came from in front of him, and immediately, countless colorful lights roared like flashing stars, instantly reforming his body, and the faded road illusion disappeared in an instant.
Xu You looked at his newborn hands, and his Dao heart suddenly had an unusually pure feeling, as if he had received a spiritual baptism, revealing a crystal clear sense of refreshment.
At the same time, his perception of cultivation also seemed to be deeper, which was the benefit of refining his state of mind.
"Is the fear behind me?" old fellow, how many people remained?" Xu You looked at himself and then looked around.
The monks next to him were replaced, and it seemed that there were many fewer of them, but there were still quite a few.
He was still in the group with the most participating monks, and his position seemed to be quite high.
"It's over, half of the Soul Realm Division has been eliminated, and there are still five thousand people left, and the Spiritual Realm Division hasn't paid attention. Xuyunzi said.
"So many eliminated. Xu You said in surprise.
Not enough for him to immediately relieved, not everyone can have the courage to face the fear of death, and there is still half left, which is good.
"How many are in front of me?" he asked again.
"Those disciples of the five major families are at the front, they are about to break through the second level of heart refining, and then those juniors with fourth-level potential power, they have also been walking for a long time, and then there are juniors with third-level potential power, not long after entering, the most junior is the junior of casual cultivation, you can probably rank more than two hundred in the scattered cultivation, this result is not bad, if you persist, you can already enter the eyes of the five major families. Xuyunzi said.
"More than two hundred......," Xu You said hehe, "I am now familiar with the Heart Refining Road, it seems that I am going to speed up my pace, after the second Heart Refining Road is over, I will become the leader of the fourth echelon." ”
A glint erupted in his eyes as he strode forward.
I don't know what the second way of refining the mind is?
......
"Li Wei, how are you? The second greedy state of mind is more difficult to hold on to than the first fear state of mind. ”
On a colorful road, the heroic Lin Yongan stopped, looked through the illusion, and looked at the young woman full of wild beauty in the adjacent position.
Li Wei also stopped, looked at him, and smiled confidently: "I don't have anything to do, this is where to go, not only do we have to be the strongest in casual cultivation, but we also have to catch up with the footsteps of those third-level potential strength participating cultivators, and leave them behind." ”
Lin Yongan smiled slightly, looked back, and saw that a large number of scattered cultivators had fallen behind him, and a sense of pride arose in his heart: "Yes, our road has just begun, as long as we can enter the five major families, we can completely get rid of the identity of casual cultivation in the future, this is an opportunity given to us by God." ”
"Don't be emotional, let's leave quickly, otherwise let others catch up, and you and I, the leaders of loose cultivation, will not be worthy of the name. Li Wei smiled.
"Catch up, I don't dare to say about those participating monks of the family sect, but there is a spiritual imprint, and it is impossible for these scattered cultivators to catch up with us again, and they will only be left farther and farther away by us. ”
Lin Yongan smiled faintly, and his mouth also became "these loose cultivators", as if he had been selected by the five major families, and he was no longer a casual cultivator.
"You know what you say. Li Wei smiled slightly and strode forward.
No one knew that she and Lin Yongan had practiced a secret technique called Soul Seal before competing.
This kind of secret technique allows the two to experience each other's state of mind, or even some supernatural powers, without the need to communicate with each other, so that they can form a powerful complement, which is equivalent to one more help.
Originally, the plan of the two was that if the competition was a competition, then using the Mind Seal, one person competed on the field and the other person observed off the field, so that they could observe the opponent's flaws more clearly, so as to occupy a favorable situation.
Unexpectedly, the first round of the competition was to make the soul seal play a better effect, and with one more voice of support, the courage to overcome adversity will naturally increase.
Therefore, the two of them were able to easily walk ahead of all the scattered cultivation after the completion of the first spiritual refining path.
The next target of conquest is those children of the family sect who have no one in their eyes and are high in the sky. (To be continued......)
