(Sorry, this chapter is late again. I said that I won't stay up late, but I stayed up late again. Because I said that I will do it even if I stay up late. I will be back to normal tomorrow. I need to work overtime today.)
In the cold wind and heavy snow, Chu Yunsheng gradually lost his direction. He could only rely on the connection between the ancient book and the fourth jade tablet to find his way.
His throat began to ache, and even his auditory nerves felt like they were on fire. Green smoke came out of his mouth as soon as he opened it.
Along the way, Chu Yunsheng didn't know how many snowflakes he swallowed, but he still couldn't extinguish the "fire" in his throat.
Strictly speaking, it was not fire, because he couldn't feel any signs of fire energy fluctuations.
He knew what the problem was, but he didn't know what the problem was going to be.
After the seal was reversed, he returned to his human body. The feeling of hunger and sleepiness that he hadn't felt for a long time almost made him unable to adapt to it.
The reconstruction of his body did not directly cross the boundary between Yuan Tian stage two and Yuan Tian stage three as he hoped. Instead, it went straight to the peak of Yuan Tian stage two, but it couldn't cross the gap even half a step.
Senior is right. One cannot be opportunistic in cultivation. Even if it's such a dangerous method of risking one's life to exchange for another's life, it's a completely different matter.
But he actually didn't care about the level of his cultivation. Just like now, he didn't care that he didn't have any food with him. He began to learn to be numb.
He had brought so many things with him in the talisman, but in the end, it was all in vain. The cruelty of this world, for him, was not because he lacked something, but because no matter what he had, he might lose it.
The woman who asked him to help carry the corpse suddenly made him understand a truth. No matter who he fought with, he shouldn't fight with God! No matter who he was angry with, he shouldn't be angry with God!
In this world, God was the biggest.
Against God? It was just a joke. Since ancient times, even the earth couldn't go against God. Who could go against God?
Obeying God seemed to be numb, but it was also a kind of tenacity and the continuation of life!
That woman seemed to be sent by God to tell him that there were actually many ways to live, and obeying God's fate and numbness was also one of them.
Therefore, he felt that he should learn to be truly numb. He should learn from that woman. While holding the firm belief of burying his brother's body, he could still smile in a seemingly numb manner and start a new life.
In his opinion, this was an absolute contradiction. It was impossible for it to happen at the same time, but it just happened!
It is not because of some philosopher's hypocritical sigh: What is man living for?
Instead, it was because the woman might not have thought about this problem at all. She just followed her instinct, the instinct of life, the instinct of life to find its own way out. She would be filled with hope and numbness at the same time, and continue to live.
Therefore, he felt that the pain and depression that had been tormenting him was only because he had learned before that people should have hope and sustenance, but he had not learned to be numb, and he had not learned to live a contradictory life like that woman.
Once he learned it, he felt that he was invincible. No one, no matter what, could defeat him. Not in terms of strength, but in terms of spirit.
Chu Yunsheng's messy mind gradually calmed down in the snowy mountain. He curled up his body and hid in the crevice of the mountain. A strong sense of drowsiness attacked him.
He was too tired. In the past few days, he had been subconsciously treating himself as a bug that didn't need to sleep. He had been struggling without knowing why, but now, he couldn't hold on any longer …
Darkness covered the earth like a curtain. One of its eyes was flashing with a bloodthirsty red light. Its head was flat and long, and it had a pair of sharp fangs. It was like a ferocious beast that had regressed to the Ice Age. It left its hidden nest, smelled the smell of prey, and carefully and calmly approached a crevice of the mountain.
Over there, it smelled the smell of human beings. It seemed to have forgotten the past of a boy who raised it. It only wanted to get the easiest prey to fill its stomach and the stomachs of the two cubs in the nest.
There was an uneasy smell in the air, but it had no choice. It had not hunted any prey for several days in a row. It urgently needed to eat to get heat, otherwise, it would not survive this heavy snow.
It cautiously lurked around the crevice for a long time. Although it was very hungry, it became more and more experienced. Enough patience was the foundation of perfect hunting.
In the dark, it relied on its extraordinary sense of smell and hearing to distinguish every movement around it. If it was a little stronger, it could even see a faint shadow.
It waited for a long time until it determined the uniqueness of the target and the safety of the surrounding area. Immediately, it did not hesitate to rush out of the snow, spread its four hooves, and sprinted violently.
The crevice where the prey was was only a little distance away from it. It had already lurked to the closest distance, and it was determined to get the last bit of distance!
Seeing that it was about to pounce on the prey, it could even smell the delicious smell of blood. The desire to eat strongly stimulated every cell in its body. All of its plans and actions seemed so perfect and deadly.
However, at this moment, a white light flashed from the horizon. It was filled with a tyrannical aura. Compared to it, it was many times more ferocious.
"Whoosh!"
That white light arrived in the blink of an eye. It was surrounded by bursts of string lights, rotating above the crevice, and illuminating the entire mountain.
It was terrified. It put its head on the ground and made a posture to pounce, but its claws kept dragging its body back.
The white light did not attack it, as if it did not come for it at all. It just quietly floated there, but it had no choice but to give up the prey that was almost in its mouth.
After a long time, it glanced at the crevice under the white light with both pity and luck, and then began to look for the next prey.
*****
Chu Yunsheng was awakened by the burning pain in his throat. When he woke up and saw the white light outside the crevice, he did not panic at all.
He wrapped himself in a very thick cotton coat that had several big holes in it, swallowed the saliva-free saliva, sat up straight, picked up a ball of snow, and randomly stuffed it into his mouth, as if this was the only way to reduce the burning pain in his throat.
"Cough, cough!"
The burning pain in his throat was suddenly stimulated by the ice and snow, causing a violent reaction. It brought a deadly itch, but it was not as hot as before.
After taking a deep breath, he stretched out his finger and silently drew a familiar map on the snowy ground. Ben Ti Yuan Qi flowed smoothly from his fingertips and flowed into the white snow like mercury.
"Whoosh!"
The talisman was completed, and the law was established.
Then he silently controlled the talisman, and the rotating string lights were immediately absorbed into the talisman.
After the talisman was absorbed into the talisman, the ground returned to darkness again, as if nothing had happened.
Wrapped in his cotton-padded clothes, he fell down again. He was really afraid of this broken bow. After the woman died, it had followed him. For this reason, he had buried it three times in the ground.
The last time, he even used a storage talisman to seal it and bury it. But unexpectedly, it was able to break through the restriction of his low-level storage talisman and continue to follow him.
From the reaction of the ancient book to it, Chu Yunsheng could confirm that it was very likely to be the relic left by the senior practitioner. But he was not interested in this bow at all. In fact, he even wanted it very much.
This bow was full of fascinating magic. It could stimulate all the negative desires in people's hearts. If people were not careful, they would be drowned by its magic.
Chu Yunsheng hated the feeling of being controlled. He could do nothing to God, and he could learn to be numb to fate. But when it came to a broken bow, a weapon that killed Old Purple, chased him until he had nowhere to run, and was still trying to confuse his mind, he could make his own choice.
Not only that, because of its attack, he still could not speak. Because of the entanglement of its desire, he could not even kill the woman with the bow.
He did not have the energy to distinguish whether it was the bow or the person holding the bow that was wrong. He was not smart enough to think about this question. He did not even know why the ancient book wanted to suppress his insect body, how could he have the time to care about it?
In his eyes, just like what the senior practitioner said, the bow could be abandoned.
He didn't think that if the bow disappeared, he wouldn't have to spend too much effort to find it. Instead, he thought that he could throw the bow away if necessary. Although this was just his own speculation, he could only think that way with his current mood.
But it always followed him, and Chu Yunsheng was also annoyed. So he simply sealed it in an independent storage talisman. As the saying goes, out of sight, out of mind, out of mind.
Right now, he just wanted to sleep. This long-lost feeling of sleep made him feel particularly comfortable. He could forget everything and live in his dream. He did not have the energy to play hide-and-seek with it anymore.
Without the insect's vision and sense of smell, he did not notice the traces of an attack from a stillborn fetus near him. Maybe it was because he slept too deeply, or maybe it was because he had not lived in a human body for a long time, his vigilance seemed to have decreased a lot.
The next day, he was woken up by a sore throat again, but he found that the snow had stopped, and there was a glimmer of light in the sky.
Hunger began to attack his stomach. It was a feeling that needed to be filled, it was both urgent and uncomfortable.
The cold and tasteless snowballs could no longer satisfy his appetite, but he also did not have the motivation to look for food. Shaking off the snowflakes on his body, he continued to move towards the direction of the fourth map.
The sky was dark, and he did not know how long he had walked. He felt that his beard had grown very long. He had eaten mice and some unknown snow plants, but he did not starve to death yet.
But the pain in his throat did not decrease at all. As the insect's body in the monster seal talisman gradually recovered, the pain became more and more intense.
If that was all, he could at least use the snowball to endure it. However, the ancient book and the broken bow in his body immediately joined in, mixing with the aura of the insect body. It was as if three parties were fighting, it was extremely chaotic.
At first, the Yuan Qi in his body was fluctuating, but later on, it became more and more intense. It was either being sucked out by the ancient book or the insect's body. Everyone wanted to suppress the other party, but no one could suppress the other party.
Chu Yunsheng tried to give up the insect's body and remove the monster seal talisman, but to his dismay, it had already stuck to his body like psoriasis.
He could not get rid of the ancient book, and he could not even get rid of the broken bow. He could only watch the three parties fight endlessly!
Finally, he was annoyed, and his mind was numb. 'Aren't you guys fighting? I don't want to play anymore! '
Chu Yunsheng stopped all the cultivation progress, he did not want to absorb any Yuan Qi into his body. When all the Yuan Qi in his body was used up, the three parties immediately stopped their cultivation.
No matter how much he absorbed, it would be useless. In the blink of an eye, it would all be consumed by them. So he simply ignored them and focused on his journey.
Without the support of Yuan Qi, although he was much stronger than ordinary people, there would still be a time when he could not use up his strength.
A few days later, he suddenly fainted on the side of a broken highway.
When he woke up, he found himself in a trailer that was filled with dead bodies, and there were people shouting all around him.
"Those who are dead, pull them to plant flowers; those who are not dead, pull them to work!"
Chu Yunsheng opened his eyes. His heart, which had not been shocked for a long time, suddenly skipped a beat. To be exact, it was not a person, it was a head. But the head did not have a human body, it looked like it was growing on the stem of a plant.
A vegetable? Or a plant?
