All living beings in hell

Chapter 125 - The Octagonal Monster

I don't know how long I slept on the old wooden floor, and I had several dreams in a row.I don't remember most of the dream content, I only vaguely know that I dreamed about the master.

In the dream, the master was dressed in a white robe with pure light shining through his body, standing suspended among the stars.I bowed down on one knee in front of the master, but I was no longer the child I was back then.The master asked me to spread my palm, drew a circle on the palm of my right hand, and then smiled softly.

I woke up, and there seemed to be a circle on the palm of my right hand.I raised the palm of my right hand to check in front of my eyes, but there was nothing.His head was a little groggy, as if he hadn't woken up at all.

I walked out of the office, walked a few steps on the branch, and then sat cross-legged on the branch.It's been a long time since I've checked out Hellscape since working here.The leaves rubbed against each other, and I looked into the distance of hell through the gap between the leaves.Jianshanlingshi is even more bleak after the end of the day, and the whole hell is a little darker. The wandering souls stay in the distance without a soul, like scavengers trying their best to survive.

The wind carried coal dust and dust, which was probably left after the fire of the catastrophe.I stared blankly at this scene for a while, waiting for my consciousness to slowly wake up from the deep dream.

There is no day and night, no clocks, no leaves, no changing seasons.

The only thing that makes me feel that time is still flowing is the sound of the tide of the blood sea.This tidal sound is rhythmic and repeats regularly, like the second hand, minute hand, and hour hand, which makes me feel a certain kind of dullness in the repetition of the cycle.

I don't know how many times the waves washed the beach of bones, and I gradually woke up.Wiping his face with a wave of his sleeve, he returned to the office.

The lotus lantern at the entrance was lit up, and the office welcomed the No.70 eight guests.

A smell of river water drifted into the office, and the water vapor was mixed with fishy smell.The door of the office was opened, and a huge fish walked in.

Yes, this fish uses "walk".

Two human legs grew out of the huge catfish's body. These strange human legs walked to the wooden table and sat down at the wooden table.The catfish stared at me with a pair of dull eyes, without eyelids, so it couldn't blink, which made it even more weird.

"Hello, what should I call you?"

"Duck Dalian Qingping octagonal monster." Catfish spoke with bubbles spitting out while opening and closing his mouth.His voice was muffled because of this, and I'm not quite sure what he was saying.

"Is that your full name?"

"full name."

"Duck Dalian Qingping octagonal monster, right?"

"Yes."

I wrote down his name verbatim on the paper: "It's okay to call you an octagonal monster?"

"Also."

"The octagonal monster, why are you looking for me today?"

There was a crisp sound of cracking under the catfish's skin, and a pair of human hands burst out from the catfish's body on both sides.The arms were stained with mucus and blood as if a newborn had just left the mother's womb.This pair of hands clasped a fist at me, which made me a little stunned.

"My lord, I came to see you today because I want to ask for a fair explanation."

"What is fair? What is said?"

"The small one is a catfish spirit, who has cultivated for thousands of years to obtain this strange body. But there are two human legs and three pairs of human arms, a total of six. Asura God of War is nothing more than two legs and six arms, and good fortune is nothing more than that. Only my fish body No matter how much you repair it, you can't get rid of it. So you end up with this embarrassing appearance, no matter in the fairy world or the human world, it is not good-looking. I am envious of the tiger spirit and snake demon, how can they be handsome and beautiful appearance. Only me, a catfish spirit, is not like a human, nor is a ghost like a ghost, what should I do!"

"So... you want to cultivate your own body?"

"At least don't look like this now! This look is indeed a bit shabby."

"I'm very ashamed, and I can't do anything about it. I don't understand witchcraft, and I don't know how to cultivate a human body from a goblin. I have a goblin friend who has a lot of experience in cultivating the human body."

"Is this demon also a catfish spirit?"

"No, it's a cat demon."

"That's not acceptable. We goblins come in all varieties, and each sect has its own cultivation methods. The methods that are suitable for other cats may not be suitable for us catfish. Besides, our fish and cats are also feuds! How can we find a hereditary Friends help!"

"Then have you seen other catfish spirits who have cultivated human form?"

"Before I became a demon, I was slaughtered and eaten by people. After my soul came to hell and became conscious, I started to practice. The hell is so big and wide, it contains thousands of ghosts and monsters. Among them, the wandering soul suddenly enlightened after death, Cultivating to become a fairy is only a small part. It is not easy to find a companion, let alone a catfish spirit who has the same experience!"

"You mean to say that cultivating demons in the world is different from cultivating demons in hell?"

"That's naturally different! Demon cultivating pays attention to absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon, and the aura of all things. Think about it, can the essence of the sun and the moon in this world be the same as that in hell? It was the miasma in hell that led to this zombie-like appearance."

"Why did you choose to practice witchcraft after becoming a wandering soul?"

"I want to have some practice, so that when I reincarnate, maybe I don't have to be a beast again and be slaughtered by others."

"Then after you became like this, did you go to Po Meng and ask about reincarnation?"

"I haven't looked for Po Meng, but I have met a few Hades soldiers."

"What did Yan Wangbing say?"

The octagonal monster angrily hammered his thigh a few times: "This group of skeleton soldiers without morality made fun of me! Laughed at me for being ugly! Laughed at me for cultivating indiscriminately, unorthodox!"

"Then did they tell you about reincarnation in the six realms?"

"They don't know about the reincarnation of the six realms! They are short-sighted, and they only know how to serve the master of Hades."

"I don't know much about cultivating demons in hell, and even less about the principles of reincarnation after cultivating demons. It's better to ask Granny Meng about these things."

"Grandma Meng doesn't mean you can see her when you see her! She is very busy! There are hundreds of cases busy every day. How can it be my turn to ask questions?"

"Taking a step back, what should I do if I am reincarnated and enter the animal realm?"

"No! No! I don't accept it!"

"Do you have to be a human?"

"The reason I practice so hard is to be a human! If I don't want to be a human, I can be an Asura, or a celestial being. If I were to be a beast, I would rather stay in this hell and continue to be a demon. Ugly is ugly, blame It’s strange, it’s better than being a beast.”

"Why do you hate being a beast so much?"

"If it was born in the wilderness woods, it would be better. At most, it is worried that it will be eaten by hunters, or that it will not be able to eat after one meal.

But if it is a pig in a pigsty or a meat fish in a fish pond, it will be miserable.From the moment he was born, he was squeezed on the grass of the booty, and his legs could not be stretched!People can only eat what they feed, grow fat, and finally wait to be slaughtered.

I used to be a catfish born in a fishpond. The water was chaotic. We ate garbage and carrion.Our meat is dirty enough, but it still cannot escape the fate of being served on the table.

I cultivate demons so that I can take my fate into my own hands.For that life of stinky water and stinky meat, enough is enough. "

"When you were a catfish, did the catfish around you think the same way?"

"Those catfish have wooden heads. It would be nice to grab a piece of carrion to eat every day. But I am different. I can think and observe the location and time of people fishing for us every day. To tell you the truth, I took the initiative to drill into Fishing nets. I just hope that my stomach will be slashed and my head will be cut off quickly. If I die, I will die, anyway, as long as I get out of there."

"Before you took the initiative to dive into the fishing net, did you know that there was a concept of past and future lives?"

"I don't know, I don't even know what death is, I haven't thought about these things. I just know that I don't want something, so I just do it."

"Maybe after you think about what you don't want, you can also think about what you really want."

"My lord, what do you mean?"

"It's good to know what you don't want. It's a manifestation of being able to recognize the status quo and make a certain judgment. But if you don't want it, what will happen next? You don't want to stay in the foul-smelling water, so you throw yourself into a trap and take the initiative to be made into something." Afterwards, I stumbled into the hell by accident, because I didn’t want to enter the beast realm, so I started cultivating demons. But think about it, is cultivating demons really what you want to do? Or are you doing it to avoid becoming a beast? Something that has to be done?"

"I did not understand."

"Do you want to cultivate a demon?"

"It's okay, it's beyond my control to become like this."

"But cultivating demons doesn't necessarily mean you can become an adult, right?"

"At least it can have a human form."

"It's easy to have a human form, but difficult to have a human heart."

"Is someone having a hard time?"

"Cultivating an appearance is still cultivating spells after all. Spells have their limitations, just like what you said. In the human world, black art is to use the resources of the human world. In hell, only the resources of hell can be used. The same kind of black art in the world With the support of different environments, the appearance of cultivation is also different. Maybe you can’t cultivate a human form in hell, because hell is not like the human world, and everything is not designed for human beings.

But maybe, I mean maybe, you can work on your mind here. "

"Cultivate your mind? My lord, please enlighten me!"

"Although there are no human beings in hell, there are many dead human souls. Most of these human dead souls are suffering from extreme pain, and all the manifestations are extreme human expressions. You can observe them, think about them, and see the good and evil in the desperate situation and learn from it.”

"My lord, what are you learning?"

"Before being a human being, having a good heart is more important than having a good shape."

"But there are wicked people in this world, why do you have to cultivate your mind to be a human being?"

"Just like you hope to have a good living environment when you are a beast, every human being wants to be treated well."

"They didn't treat me kindly! Why should I treat them kindly!"

"Because you want to be a human being, then go and be a good human being."

The octagonal genie wanted to refute something, I watched him for a while, but he didn't say anything more.Staring blankly at the bookshelves on both sides, he might be thinking about something.After a while, the strange human arms of the octagonal genie raised up and arched towards me.

"What your lord said makes sense, I can try it."

"Okay, then you go."

"My lord, please wish me an early adulthood!"

"Well, cultivate your mind well."

The human legs of the octagonal monster stood up, and the body of the fish was suspended in the air.He obviously wanted to bow to me, but he didn't have a waist, so he couldn't bow.After struggling for a while, he finally bowed his hands.Then, those legs staggered away from the door with the fish body.
