Pivot of the Sky

Chapter 180: 178, What is the Spirit?

The fierce moon rose from the ground on the night and grabbed Amon's arm, clawing his clothes apart, tearing apart several gaps in the snake scales. Amon punched him in the shoulder, and the next moon night after his transformation, he was able to harden his punch. He shouted in his throat and bit Amon's hand with a low head.

As soon as Amon shakes his hand, he flicks his finger on his chin, enough to smash a tough boulder, even if replaced with a normal beast, his head will be knocked into meat sauce. Just a click, the chin dislocated on the moon night, and he could still reverse and unload with an incredible reaction, rolling overhead into the water.

The water flower surged, like being suddenly wiped out by a giant hand, strangely restored calm, and his breath disappeared between the mud under the water. Amon did not follow the water in the strange bushes, standing beside the water all over the bone festival made another series of crisp sounds, and the diffuse mania slowly disappeared.

Amon would use a similar amount of madness, drawing on John's experience, but never before. While such a violent state improves speed and burst power, it also has obvious flaws, causing a high level of ferocity and even mental loss. Amon is able to control nature without losing his mind, but it also affects the detection of subtle sensations of divinity and limits the use of a wide range of powers. He can only fight with astonishing energy, and can easily accidentally injure his own people in a mixed war.

When he faced Enqidu on the battlefield, he was not as powerful as he is today, nor did he understand how to master and control this state. Today, he encountered such a difficult opponent, and his teeth returned to him. Tomorrow night clearly understands the characteristics of this manic state, knowing that Amon's entry into the state affects the sensation of detection magic, and when he escapes, he dives into the water and hides his tracks.

At the speed of tomorrow night, Kung Fu may have escaped far away from hiding. Unfortunately, Amon cried out, it would be difficult to find out the assassin in this Blackfire Swamp. It would be nice if the cloud dream were here. If the Iron Armored Beast King was there to respond, he would certainly not be able to escape tomorrow night. Amon suddenly seemed to notice something and looked up and drank: “Who is it? ”

Low voices come a long way in the night sky, and a man in the middle of the sky answers, "Amon, it's me! ”

Amon frowned slightly: "John, didn't I tell you to wait on the edge of the swamp with Link? What are you doing in here? ”

John landed on the hillside and put away the shuttle courtesy: “As you asked, me and Link built a fortress level on the edge of the Black Fire Swamp, and it was time for you to arrive, but I didn't see you coming out of the swamp, so I picked you up. I just heard the noise of a struggle in the distance, so I accelerated my flight.... Huh, what's going on here, is there a big army engaged? ”

This hillside is a mess, the bushes and the rocks are flattened, who can make such a big move? Amon shook his head: “I said it was within a month, three days later it was a month, and I took three days off on the road, a little slower than I expected. As for this, of course, there can't be an army here, just an assassin. ”

John was surprised, pulling out his sword and looking around: "Assassin! Where is it? How dare you stab me! ”

Amon waved, “You don't have to look, he's already hiding with his injuries. The man did have a lot of nerve, claiming to be the King of Assassins of the Heavenly Pivot Continent. You came just in time to talk to you about the assassin. ”

Amon told John about the assassination just now, and John sucked in a cold breath after listening: “This man is amazing, but unfortunately he met you, Amon God. This time he has suffered a great loss and is not expected to show up for at least a few months. ”

“Oh," said Amon. “He couldn't get it twice, and then he fought me hard. I felt familiar with the raging state. I remembered you from the first thought. ”

John blinked his eyes and said, "What are you trying to say - if I hadn't been guided by you, would that manic force have been out of control and would it have been like him to continue practicing? ”

Amon shook his head softly: "No, if you can't control it, you'll end up losing your mind. It's hard to say if you can survive, let alone continue to practice so deeply. I think this man is about the same as you were when you woke up that manic force, but was guided by something else. ”

John frowned: “What kind of guidance? ”

"To teach him how to control and use this power, making it stronger and stronger, while keeping it calm and sober. This person follows a different path than you, and he pursues this power exclusively, to a certain extent, and can even change shape. ”

John's eyebrows locked: “Who can guide him to practice like this? ”

Amon thought about it and suddenly sneered: “I've learned something from your experience, but I can also go into that state of ferocity, limit some other abilities, greatly improve speed and explosiveness in a short time. This can only be done after I have a lifeless nine-level achievement, but this person specializes in this practice. Those who can guide him in doing so will surely achieve no less than I did at this time. The assassin claimed to be the messenger of the gods, and I guess 89 out of 10 were sent by Enrique, and the man who guided him should also be Enrique. ”

John puzzled, “Why did Enrique guide him to practice this power so he could end up like a monster? ”

Amon asked back, "What do you think? ”

John turned around and suddenly slapped his thigh: “I get it! Enrique guided the moon and night, not to make him one day a true god out of eternity, but to cultivate a terrible killer. ”

Ammon nodded: "I think the Amat goddess of Anunaki led nine powerful monsters back in the day, and that's probably why. But Scorpion King and Lion King I both know that they are still cultivating the true power of origin, and Amat taught them these things, just letting them cultivate themselves, without really giving them any hint of escape from eternity, but in the end this path leads to the right end.

But what Enrique did even more, he merely guided the moon and night in controlling and cultivating that ferocious force, cultivating a horrible monster killer. In fact, I can do this today, but since I guide my disciples, regardless of their own talents, I need to point out where the proven path leads, not an unknown stray. ”

John sighed, "Amon, thank God I met you! Now think about it and be scared, and deduce from my personal experience that tomorrow night, maybe he enjoys being guided like this. ”

Amon sighed, “Yeah, maybe he didn't think it was a stray one, because it was an unexpected harvest. You said he wouldn't show up for at least a few months, so why are you so sure? ”

John laughed, “I've been there myself, of course. I don't really know why he's transformed, but overusing that ferocious power makes me weak afterwards. He fought you for so long, tore the mountain like this or was beaten, and you dislocated him on the shoulder and chin, and once he recovered from the raging state, he would feel double the pain and weakness. If it had been me, it would have taken at least six months to fully recover, and he would have been lucky to have just escaped a life. ”

Amon sighed slightly: “It doesn't look like he can do it unlimited often, otherwise it would be horrible. Actually, I don't think his most dangerous place is the violent transformation, but the sudden assassination when he calms down.

John laughed and looked up at the full moon in the sky and said: "Amon God, this place is far from human smoke, so that he can transform into a fierce force, otherwise how can an assassin make such a big move and not be blatantly turned into a monster. And today, when he was the strongest, he was still not your opponent, but revealed his secret tactics. You will also use that power, but after all, I am more experienced in not waking it alone and practicing it specifically, it is an irrepressible agitation, like a strong impulse of desire, the strongest when the moon is round as the environment changes. ”

Amon closed his eyes and said, "Looks like he's going to be hiding for a long time. This Blackfire Marsh is not a good place to take care of his injuries. ”

At this time, the clouds of the sky covered the moonlight, the darkness covered the swamps, the wind surrounded, the sound of sand coming from all sides, as if there were invisible dangers lurking, especially in the jungle.

John said, "Where's the cloud dream? If the assassin hasn't escaped, Cloud Dream may be able to find it, and this is his weakest time. ”

Amon: "I'm a little worried about the cloud dream, but I don't know how much the assassin got hurt? You might still be able to see the speed of his escape. This man's assault cannot be prevented, and when he is strongest, you are not opponents. Cloud dreams deplete power and are resting to recover, surrounded only by Raphael's protection. Now that you're here, do one thing, fly the shuttle to Cloud Dream immediately, and remind Raphael to be careful. When the cloud dreams recover, the three of you will come out of this road together and pay attention to no one else. If Cloud Dream finds traces of tomorrow night on the way, join forces to take this person down. ”

……

Raphael, the young great magician, stayed on a hill between the swamp jungles to rest and protect the weary Iron Armored Beast King's Cloud Dream. When the cloud dreams meditate, they always bend their tails and lie down, just the two of them in the infinite swamp, nothing to talk about.

Cloud dreams have never been outside the valley and the Duke Plains, and just like Link did back then, he was curious about everything that was happening between the prosperous outside world. Rafael is a descendant of great nobility, the best educated on the continent, and has experienced many things with great cultivation. Whatever he said was of interest to Cloud Dream, and Rafael was always involved in telling the story.

When he was with Amon, Cloud Dream didn't dare to do this because he feared Amon like a god. Naturally, it was bad for the East parents, the West family to listen briefly, but it was much more casual in front of Raphael. Raphael has a very good and patient culture, and no matter what childish and ridiculous questions Cloud Dreams asks him, he answers them very carefully, sometimes as if he were trying to impress a child. The conversation between the two is not an open speech, but a direct communication in the soul using similar means of information theology.

After Amon left, it rained for two days in the swamp and finally cleared up on the third night. The gentle moonlight sprinkled on the hillside, with water beads hanging between the grass leaves, and the cloud dreams lay down by the tent and sighed: "What a beautiful moonlight, dull and bright. Strangely enough, I've seen the moon so many times in the mountains before, but I've never felt this way or found its beauty. ”

Raphael sat in the tent and laughed: "I didn't expect the Ironclad Beast would appreciate the moon, is that because it opened up wisdom? I'm curious about your situation. Can you tell me what it's like to open your mind? What's the difference from the old Ironclad Beast? ”

Cloud dreams are somewhat embarrassed to say, “Don't laugh at me when I say it. ”

Raphael narrowed his eyes and slapped his face: "Okay, I'm not laughing. ”

Cloud dreams of the moon, the divine answer: “I was an Ironclad beast at first, but then I became different from other Ironclad beasts, I don't know how it happened, in short, stronger and more powerful, with magical instincts. Now, in retrospect, what people call enlightenment is probably the earliest thing for me —— fantasy. ”

Raphael asked inexplicably, "Fantasy? ”

Cloud dreams answered somewhat bluntly: "Yes, I've learned to fantasize. An Ironclad Beast, somehow, can be fantastic. Isn't that funny? I don't know when I realized I existed and understood what I had, unlike any other Ironclad beast. ”

Raphael said, “Do you have a sense of self in your soul? Is that the power of wisdom? ”

Yunmeng shook his head gently: “You can't say that, other creatures in the world, including the Ironclad Beast, have a sense of self, but it's even more special to turn on spiritual intelligence. From then on, I would fantasize about something I couldn't possibly have as an Ironclad Beast. For example, when I see birds flying in the pool, I wonder -- can I fly one day, too? What would it feel like to fly like a bird? ”

Raphael: “You learned to think? ”

Cloud Dream: “I couldn't call it thinking at the time. My mind was just a few simple thoughts, and I couldn't organize these thoughts with the meaning of language like I do now, just beyond my actual fantasies. How do you describe it? As people say -- daydreams. ”

Rafael: “How does it feel to learn to fantasize? ”

Cloud dreams blinked: “It feels so good, it's a joy I've never experienced! For example, I imagine flying like a bird, not because I can actually fly, but because I imagine being happy when I fly. ”

Raphael asked with interest: "Did you find your change then? ”

Cloud Dream: “I didn't realize it at the time, but now that I look back, I'm really changing. Ironclad beasts live in caves by the water, and there is nothing else to do as long as they are comfortable enough to survive and eat every day. But unlike me, I built the cave more and more spacious, more spacious than my habitat needs, and I liked collecting things to decorate my cave, something other Ironclad beasts wouldn't do at all.

There are also habits that have changed, and I have found pleasure in my instinctive behavior, separating it from my instincts. Ironclad animals, for example, will not seek food after they have eaten, and Ironclad animals my size, sometimes hunt animals in the mountain forests. With my skills, I don't have to worry about not eating enough in the mountain forest, but sometimes I find it more interesting to chase prey than to catch it. So when I was bored, I would go after the prey too, beyond the need for pure food, just to be fun. I hear you say the nobles hunt, but they're not out of food, that's my situation, right? ”

Raphael sighed: "You mean aristocrats hunting, they're not hunters for a living, they're just having fun. If this is the case, it is actually a double-edged sword, it is a scourge is a blessing unknown. You didn't know what hunting meant at the time, just the pleasure of hunting. Unlimited indulgence can be regarded as a monster or demon of terror if it even reaches the human race. I have been commanded to destroy such monsters, and they have attacked villages in the Kingdom of Hati. ”

Cloud dreams shook: “Luckily I just met you now! ”

Raphiel apologized slightly: "I won't interrupt you, please continue. ”

Yunmeng lowered his head: “I have nothing more to say, I want to hear from you. ”

Rafael turned around and said, "What do you want to hear from me? ”

Cloud Dream whispered, “That's what I was talking about. What do you think? What do you think, people are more fantastic than armored beasts, and by nature, they do the same thing as monsters or demons? Of all the people I know, besides Amon God is your most learned, please tell me, okay? ”

Rafael also looked up at the moon and said: "Interpersonal scholars often discuss this issue, and some argue that fantasy is one of the origins of humanity, because it always transcends the reality of one's situation. Like an Ironclad Beast, you want to fly like a bird. Its meaning and pleasure are not in the flying itself, but in the wings of the flying. So people need a god in their minds, and it is the very origin of human nature that encompasses the existence of this godliness, so that the light of the god can shine into people's hearts. ”

Cloud Dream winks straight: “Where did you learn all this? ”

Raphael smiled slightly: “Of course it's Hattie Academy of Theology, where I've been trained all kinds since I was a kid, and my teacher, Songli, is now the chief honorary elder there. ”

Cloud dreams say in an admirable tone: “I won't interrupt you anymore, please continue. ”

Raphael went on to say, "As someone once said, fantasy always transcends reality, not because you can get it, but because you know you can't get it, so you have expectations, just like you know you can't fly but want to fly. An Ironclad beast doesn't fantasize about being able to crawl in the swamp because you would have.

Some are immersed in daydreams, to experience the happiness of dreams, while others are constantly approaching dreams, which are the changes that have taken place since ancient times. Many people think —— what they think is the greatest happiness in the world, but they don't care if they really get what they want. ”

Cloud dreams twisted their heads and interjected: “I don't understand much. ”
