“Dan Feng!!”
She crawled on the raised scales of the dragon's head, leaned over and roared at him:
"Can you hear me? Wake up!"
"Roar!"
Jingliu's roar not only failed to wake up Danfeng, but instead became the fuse that angered the other party.
The giant dragon let out a sharp roar, and suddenly moved its body, throwing Jing Liu off its body!
Before Jingliu fell to the ground, a huge claw pressed down on her like an overwhelming force!
"Damn it!"
The strong wind it created was like a chain that blocked Jing Liu's retreat. The turbulent currents it created tore at her body like crazy, as if to tear her apart.
Jing Liu gritted his teeth and had to withstand the pressure of the dragon claw and slashed out with his sword, crushing the invisible turbulence around him and taking the opportunity to escape from the coverage of the huge claw above his head.
At the same time as she escaped, the dragon's other claw pressed down towards her!
"Boom!!"
With a sudden loud noise, Jingliu was hit hard on the waist by the dragon claw. Although she had used the Disintegration Sword to block at the first moment, the thunderous force almost shattered the extremely hard Disintegration Sword!
The heavy blow nearly broke Jingliu's arm bones. Severe pain instantly spread throughout her body, and even she couldn't help but let out a miserable cry.
What's even more terrifying is that as her body injuries became more and more serious, the blood flowing out of her was no longer pure red, but was mixed with a light golden viscous liquid.
Familiar golden branches spread out from the injured area, and some kind of indescribable anger was like a flood, accompanied by obscure, noisy and chaotic whispers, constantly impacting Jingliu's thoughts.
Jingliu felt that his mind was becoming blurred, like a small boat drifting alone in the stormy waves. In the next second, the boat would capsize and he would die!
Suddenly, the shadow of flesh and blood slowly floated above Jing Liu's head.
She covered her head, trying to endure the headache as she looked at the surging blood mist. She could faintly see the shadow of a giant beast comparable to Danfeng, roaming in it.
The blood mist vaguely revealed its extremely huge and irregular outline, and it came and went in the black mist, appearing and disappearing.
Its image is hard to describe in words: twisted, evil, horrible, indescribable...
Its outline is completely different from that of humans, with densely packed eyes, tentacles twisting in disorder, and a body that seems to be covered with bright, soft, but impenetrable scales.
The ugly head and dirty body are more terrifying than the oldest source of terror.
The moment the shadow appeared, Jing Liu's mind roared like lightning, and an extremely strong sense of familiarity penetrated her whole body like an electric current.
Then, a mysterious name appeared in her mind instinctively——
【Suddenly】
It is Shuhu, symbolizing the messenger of the God of Life.
The word "God of Life" should be extremely pure and sacred, but there is not a trace of divinity in it.
It seems to be the embodiment of evil, the source of all fear and despair.
Like the ancestor of longevity, plague and disaster, its blessing will imprison your soul forever, forever and ever, without reincarnation, until the end of the world.
But despite being so terrifying, it extended a warm hand to Jingliu:
[Those living beings are surrounded by their physical bodies, like prisoners in a cage, and suffer the three kinds of torture.]
【The Eternal Life Tree brings liberation to all living beings, endless life, no aging, resurrection from the dead, and freedom from all worries.】
【The Medicine King is compassionate, and the Jian tree grows. Those who plant it are of one mind, and together they ascend to paradise.】
"..."
Jing Liu's pupils became lifeless and dull at this moment.
Invisible hands shrouded in black mist emerged from under her feet, entwining and climbing around her like the souls of wronged dead, and finally wrapped around her body.
"The five aggregates are false clouds that obscure the moon in the mind."
"Entangled by the nameless, the body falls into the devil's shadow."
"Endless life, never to be reborn."
"Only with the compassion of the Medicine King can we all ascend to paradise..."
Chapter 79: Cutting off the desire
Ever since Jinyun passed away, Jingliu has been thinking about what it would be like if he fell into the devil's shadow.
The devilish body is the fate of the immortal race. It is their inevitable self-destruction and also the curse brought to them by immortality.
No matter how much you try not to think about these things, no matter how much you try to avoid these issues, the day when you fall into the devil's evil will come sooner or later.
It just shouldn't be now...
The state of each Xianzhou person after falling into the devil's body is different. Xianzhou will divide the state of the devil's body into five symptoms:
"Injury", "defilement", "anger", "other-oriented", and "unconsciousness".
Some people who fall into the devil's body will suffer unbearable pain, twisting and struggling; some people will be in a daze, like a wandering soul; and more people will become mad monsters with no human ethics and all six senses reversed.
Those who fall into the devil's shadow cannot retain their own consciousness.
The remnants of painful and regretful memories will fill the memory space of the evildoers, and the emotions of pain, regret, hatred, etc. that are engraved in their hearts like scars will stimulate them all the time.
He has no ability to think, no thoughts of his own, and his heart is filled with only killing and destruction, until his body is consumed and turned into a handful of earth.
Jingliu couldn't explain his situation.
She felt as if her soul was being dragged into a deep, boundless ocean. Her eyes could only see through the freezing cold water towards the hazy, blood-shrouded, terrifying sky.
The smell of blood and the despair that belonged only to death filled the air, like thousands of sharp swords that materialized, piercing through Jingliu's body one after another and piercing her heart with holes.
She wanted to breathe, but she had no lungs, mouth or nose to breathe through.
She couldn't feel her limbs or any organs in her body.
Darkness is drowning everything about oneself, including the soul and consciousness.
It has no arms, no legs, no head, and is just like an empty shell of a cocoon.
And her soul fell into the deep and boundless ocean, and sank endlessly...
"Mirror Flow!"
“Mirror Flow!!”
"Can you hear me? Can you hear me?!"
Someone's familiar voice calling out echoed in Jingliu's ears. The voice was obviously very close, yet it seemed to be separated by mountains and rivers, vague and illusory.
"Golden blood, this is a sign of falling into the devil's body... Oh my God, Jingliu, you can't be..."
"..."
The blood-stained face of the fox girl kept churning in Jingliu's mind, and his memories were flooding in a turbulent and noisy state.
Her consciousness had become extremely weak, and she could no longer think or recall.
She felt that her soul was full of chains, imprisoned in the depths of the sea of consciousness, and could only look at everything outside like a drowning person through the sea.
It was a very strange feeling, as if the whole person was dead, yet not completely dead.
[The Medicine King is merciful and grants you eternal life]
here we go again......
It's that voice again.
His voice was like a heavy spell, constantly corroding his already extremely thin soul.
So sleepy...
I am completely unable to think.
I just want to keep sleeping like this...
Jingliu closed his eyes, and the scenery around him suddenly changed at this moment.
The blood-fog filled battlefield quietly faded away, and she opened her eyes, waking up from the quiet and peaceful bedroom.
Ordinary furniture, a wardrobe with clothes, and neat and clean beds.
This place...
I remember this place was Jinyun's room.
Dream? Am I dreaming?
Or is this the world after death?
Some people in Xianzhou would say that after death, people will go to the place they most wanted to go during their lifetime, and be beside the person they missed the most.
Now that I'm here, I should finally be free...
"Mirror Flow..."
Jingliu's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he looked towards the place where the sound came from.
Jinyun was lying on the bed with his eyes closed and his face unnaturally flushed.
"Jinyun...is that you?"
"Are you calling my name? Can you see me?"
Jingliu called out anxiously, but Jinyun on the bed was still the same as usual, unable to see her, hear her, or give her any response.
"daydream......"
"Is that so..."
Jing Liu couldn't help but smile bitterly, but he quickly cheered up.
"At least now, I can be here with you forever and ever."
"It doesn't matter if you can't see me. It doesn't matter if I can't touch you."
"As long as I can be with you, it is enough for me."
Jingliu climbed onto the bed, fell asleep next to Jinyun, and pressed his body tightly against the other's chest.
She stared at her lover's cheek, which was so close to her, and imagined that she could feel his even, warm breath.
Whether it was the immortal boat or the abundance, all the sufferings were finally relieved at this moment...
"Kami-ryu! What are you doing?!"
"Stop!"
"It's me! I'm Bai Heng!"
The metallic clanging sound of the sword and the dagger colliding was like a noisy alarm clock that kept echoing in Jingliu's ears.
She lay drowsy and weak on the bed. The images in front of her eyes kept changing like a projector, sometimes it was Jinyun's sleeping face, and sometimes it was Bai Heng's staggering figure.
She saw "herself" waving the Fragmented Sword continuously, and the person the sword was pointing at was the frightened face of the fox girl.
It was clearly her own body, but her soul seemed to be separated from her body, and she was like two different people.
Bai Heng......
what are you doing here?
Why, you are fighting with me...
"Kami-ryu! Now is not the time yet!"
"I know you are still here. You have not been completely corrupted by the evil spirit. This is the influence of the Blood-stained Hell Realm. That guy is bewitching you!"
"Wake up, Jingliu, wake up!!"
"Didn't we agree to return alive and become heroes of the Immortal Boat?"
