Chapter 77: Seeing My True Self (Alliance Leader and Update: Alpina)

Zhang Zhixiong spoke out to stop Li Yi, fearing that this young man Li Yi would become depressed and want to sink into the arms of pleasure until his death. Although he and Li Yi did not know each other, Li Yi was also a member of the Investigation Bureau, and he must be rescued when necessary. He could not just watch Li Yi go to his death.

His voice also woke up the others, and many nearby skeletons looked over.

"I'm not going to commit suicide. I've thought of a way that may help me escape from this illusion." Li Yi stopped and turned back and said seriously.

"real or fake?"

Zhang Zhixiong was stunned for a moment: "What solution have you come up with? Come on, tell us."

At this moment, not only him, but also the captain Zhang Lei not far away opened his empty eyes and glanced over here.

Li Yi explained: "I recognize the mural on this wall. It's called the View of Bones. The appearance of this illusion is not to kill us. It's just a test. As long as we pass the test, we can escape from the illusion and return to reality. Of course, if we can't pass the test within a certain period of time, our flesh and blood will dissipate and turn into bones, just like before."

"Similarly, our consciousness in reality will also dissipate and become a corpse."

"Contemplation of White Bones? Li Yi, go on and tell me how to pass the test." Zhang Lei asked immediately.

Li Yi said: "The first method is to see beauty as bones, and bones as beauty, so that you can reach a state of no desire and no fear. As long as you do this, you can immediately get out of the illusion."

"Seeing beauty as bones, seeing bones as beauty, without desire or fear?"

Everyone murmured Li Yi's words, feeling that these seemingly simple words revealed a supreme wisdom that made people think deeply.

"So that's how it is. I understand."

Suddenly, the Taoist priest Peter from Sanqing Mountain came forward and immediately said, "This illusion is testing our character. I cannot hide from the beauty in the illusion. It represents our inner desires. We must face these desires until they completely disappear."

"Similarly, the skeletons in the illusion also represent fear, the fear of death. We must overcome this fear of death before we can achieve freedom from desire and fear."

"Overcome the inner desires and fears? Master Pete, what you said makes sense. It is because we have reduced our fear of death that the speed at which our flesh and blood disappears has slowed down. If we can overcome it completely, maybe we can really get rid of the illusion." Zhang Zhixiong was immediately enlightened and said immediately.

"No desire and no fear?" Zhang Lei looked thoughtful, his face slightly gloomy.

It's hard.

He had also experienced that kind of deep illusion, where beauty captivated the heart and made people sink into it. It was basically impossible to look at beauty as if she were a skeleton and overcome the inner desires.

But after Li Yi's reminder and Taoist Pete's explanation, at least a solution was found.

"No matter what, we have to give it a try. It's better than sitting here and waiting to die." Another practitioner from the Investigation Bureau said gritting his teeth.

"Don't be impulsive. If you get caught up in it and can't overcome your desire and fear, you will die." Zhang Lei glanced at him.

Li Yi said at this moment: "I know this method is indeed very difficult, but I have another tricky way, but I haven't tried it. I have to try it to see if it works. If it works, I will tell you again and help you get out of the illusion. If it doesn't work, you should try the first method."

"Is there a second way?" Taoist Priest Pete was surprised.

"Okay, time waits for no one. I'm going to start. The situation will become more dangerous if we delay for a minute longer."

Li Yi didn't explain any more. He immediately stood in front of the mural of white bones and sat down.

As soon as he sat down, he became like the skeleton in the mural, with his hands holding a seal and a peaceful expression, like a Buddha.

"Li Yi, be careful. If you need any help, just let me know. Don't be polite." Zhang Lei said in a deep voice, giving the newcomer some encouragement and support.

"it is good."

Li Yi responded, then looked at the mural in front of him again, and his eyes met the empty eye sockets of the skull.

Gradually, that strange feeling reappeared.

Everything around began to disappear and turned white. Only the wall was left in front of him. Before long, the wall also disappeared, leaving only a skeleton sitting cross-legged on a lotus platform with a treasure seal in its hand.

The skeleton remained motionless until a wisp of gauze appeared out of thin air and the changes began.

Flesh and blood began to emerge from the skeleton's body, and its appearance was evolving. Its appearance could change according to your deepest desires, making you irresistible and falling into depravity voluntarily.

"The method of growing flesh out of bones."

Li Yi seized the opportunity and began to visualize, imagining the skeleton in front of him as himself in order to dispel his desires and fears.

This is indeed much less difficult.

I have to say that the resentment stored in the incomplete knife coin is really knowledgeable and actually knows this method.

Li Yi focused his mind and entered the fantasy time that he was good at.

soon.

The effect is there.

Originally, the white bones would transform into a sexy and attractive beauty, but now that he had interfered with it, the white bones were only covered with a layer of hideous flesh and blood, like evil spirits from hell. They did not turn into a beauty at all. Instead, at this time, the flesh and blood on Li Yi's body began to dissipate at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Watching the bones grow flesh, the bones are also watching Li Yi's flesh grow bones.

This kind of opportunistic method also has corresponding risks. "Good fellow, you want to compete with me in fantasy time? Do you think I am afraid of you?" Li Yi increased the intensity of his fantasy at this moment.

The bones continued to grow flesh and gradually began to grow skin, and they took on the shape of a living person, but the facial features were still blurry and unrecognizable. However, what was certain was that the body of this living person was not a woman, but a body without any male or female characteristics. This body changed between male and female, sometimes plump and charming, and sometimes strong and tall.

The flesh and blood on Li Yi's body was still disappearing.

If he wants to win, he must visualize the skeleton in front of him as his own appearance before he completely turns into bones, otherwise he may die a miserable death.

Being in the illusion, Li Yi's will is very powerful.

After a brief struggle, the skeleton sitting on the lotus platform in front of him began to retreat. It could no longer transform into the appearance of a woman to confuse him. Instead, it was completely influenced by Li Yi and began to completely transform into the appearance of a man. His facial features also began to appear. Although it was not perfect enough, it was already possible to tell that this was Li Yi.

The bones turned into Li Yi.

Li Yi gradually turned into a skeleton.

It was as if they were exchanging with each other.

Moreover, as time passed, Li Yi, who was transformed from bones, looked more like himself than himself, and his body became more perfect. Whether it was his facial features, hands and feet, or torso, they all reached a level of naturalness. And all of this was not controlled by Li Yi himself, but like a natural evolution.

Li Yi, who had almost turned into bones, looked at himself on the lotus platform and felt a little dazed.

At this moment, Li Yi on the lotus platform was holding a treasure seal in his hands, with his eyes closed, a peaceful look and a smile on his face. He looked like a god who had attained enlightenment, or an enlightened Buddha. It seemed as if he had reached the state of ultimate goodness and beauty, and was no longer an ordinary person in the secular world.

At this moment, Li Yi felt that the person on the lotus platform was the real him, and he was not himself.

You have seen your true self, why don’t you wake up?
However, at this moment, a low shout echoed in his mind, like a wake-up call.

Suddenly.

Li Yi, who was without a trace of flesh and blood, seemed to have reached some kind of limit. His skeletal body immediately collapsed and became a pile of dry bones. However, Li Yi, who was sitting on the lotus platform, holding the treasure seal in his hand, with flesh and blood and a perfect body, suddenly opened his eyes at this moment.

at the same time.

Li Yi in reality also opened his eyes immediately.

He successfully escaped from the illusion.

"I am back."

Li Yi was a little bit unbelievable. He looked at his hands. They were no longer skeleton hands, but flesh and blood.

He looked to the side.

Chen Hao discovered that Liu Yue, Wang Jian and others were still standing there motionless, as if they had lost their souls. It was obvious that their consciousness was still trapped in the illusion and could not escape.

"How long have I been trapped?" He looked at the time and estimated.

Only a dozen minutes had passed since I was pulled into the illusion.

Fortunately, nothing dangerous happened nearby, otherwise it would have been terrible.

"Li Yi, you're awake."

Suddenly, a surprised voice sounded from outside the building, and Engineer Zheng walked over excitedly.

"Stop, don't go near this building."

Suddenly Li Yi hurriedly stopped Zheng Gong's reckless behavior.

Because in his sight, a hazy halo enveloped the entire building and had spread to a position more than five meters outside the building.

The hazy glow seemed like the energy field of a strange object, but Li Yi had a hunch that it should be the range that the bone mural could affect.

Moreover, Li Yi saw that as time passed, the range of influence of the hazy halo continued to spread outward.

This is bizarre.

Can the range of the illusion covered by this mural be expanded?
Although he didn't understand why, Zheng Gongcai suddenly stopped and didn't dare to go any closer.

"Step back a little. The dangerous area of ​​this building is expanding and it's almost at your feet." Li Yi said again.

"What? Why don't I see anything?"

Zheng Gong's face changed and he stepped back again.

His words suddenly reminded Li Yi.

When will my own eyes be able to see the scope of the bone mural?

"My strength has obviously not improved, but my psychic vision has improved a lot. Is it related to my experience in the illusion? Or is it that some kind of abnormality occurred after I left the illusion?"

Li Yi's eyes moved, and this guess popped up in his mind.
