Chapter 268: A horse can also hurt others
"Plop! Plop!"
Li Fan's heart suddenly beat violently and uncontrollably.
It was as if he had witnessed with his own eyes the scene of his tragic death not long after.
Li Fan subconsciously recited [Return to Truth] silently in his heart and returned to the anchoring moment.
However, in the flash of lightning, he felt something was wrong and stopped forcefully.
The Xuanhuang Heart Refining Mantra slowly shattered the fear that was constantly emerging in his heart, turning it into nourishment for his mind. At the same time, it also gave Li Fan a precious opportunity to think calmly.
"Is it possible that Zhang Zhiliang discovered something and intended to harm me in this way?"
"No...he should have been promoted to God Transformation by now. There is no need to do anything unnecessary to deal with me, a small foundation-building monk."
"Just do it."
"So, the reason why this weird situation is happening now is because of the function of [Yima] itself?"
Just as he was thinking this, Li Fan suddenly felt in a trance.
The hair on my back stood up, as if someone was staring at me.
Li Fan was startled and turned around immediately.
He saw Zhang Zhiliang staring at him quietly, showing an indescribable smile.
Li Fan instinctively retreated, the spiritual power in his body surged, and Cong Yun's sword was about to be slashed out.
But in the blink of an eye, Zhang Zhiliang's figure disappeared again.
Li Fan was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that he was in the Tianxuan Mirror.
Even if beings like Heavenly Doctor tried to force their way in, they would cause quite a stir.
How could Zhang Zhiliang just break in quietly like this?
"Hallucination?"
Li Fan turned his head to look at Yima's body on the ground. He immediately noticed something unusual and frowned.
The body of Yima unexpectedly changed its posture without even realizing it.
"Is it dead or alive?"
Li Fan couldn't help but think of this.
Fear struck again, echoing in my heart for a long time.
The body is slightly cold.
"This [Yima] is a bit weird."
"However, I have [really], no matter how dangerous it is, it can't hurt my life..."
Thinking of this, Li Fan felt a little at ease.
Strangely enough, when he thought this, the inexplicable fear in his heart suddenly receded temporarily like a tide.
"interesting……"
Li Fan's eyes moved slightly.
However, he was still in a state of confusion, so it was obvious that the matter was not over yet.
Seizing this gap, Li Fan's thoughts turned sharply and he considered countermeasures.
However, before Li Fan could think of anything, the scene changed again.
The sound of arrows piercing the air suddenly came.
Then there was the muffled sound of piercing into flesh and blood.
Li Fan followed the sound and saw a flying arrow coming from nowhere.
It hits the left arm of the horse's corpse.
Just when Li Fan wanted to pull out the arrow to see if it was real or fake, a sharp pain suddenly hit him.
Coincidentally, the pain also came from my left arm.
Li Fan's expression suddenly darkened as his consciousness swept away.
Same location, same wound!
Even Li Fan's use of spiritual power could not heal the wound.
I bought a trauma elixir from Tianxuan Mirror and took it, but it still had no effect.
The wound remains.
"this……"
"Is it true or false?"
Li Fan felt the burning tingling sensation on his arm with his mind, everything was so real.
"So, everything that happens on [Yima] will be reflected on me?"
"if……"
The random thoughts did not continue, so Li Fan forcibly ran the heart-refining spell to clear away the distracting thoughts.
Regardless of the pain on his body, he continued to think of countermeasures.
"Theoretically speaking, Zhang Zhiliang has no reason to play tricks on me. This [Yima] is indeed a treasure that can strengthen the soul."
"Then it can be inferred that the weird scenes that just happened are so real because they bypassed my senses and directly acted on my soul."
"Beyond the concept of ordinary hallucinations, directly hitting the soul..."
Just as Li Fan was thinking, a sharp sword suddenly appeared.
Cold light shot out, cutting off the root of Yima's right index finger.
The severe pain made Li Fan take a breath of air.
Looking at his right hand, he saw that his index finger had disappeared.
It just kept bleeding.
Li Fan put his incomplete right hand in front of his eyes and observed carefully.
"is true……"
"is fake?"
Reason told Li Fan that everything that happened to him was just the effect of Yima on his soul. It's all false.
But the burning pain that continued to come from his body had to make Li Fan doubt his judgment.
"If all this is an illusion, then it doesn't matter."
"But what if I'm wrong and these wounds are all real?"
"If I sit back and watch changes continue to happen, doesn't it mean that I am waiting to die?"
An idea popped up involuntarily.
"If you want to judge whether it is true or false, it is better to ask others to identify it."
With this thought, Li Fan left Tianxuan Mirror.
And when he walked around in front of other monks for a few times with a horse face on his face, he didn't attract any strange eyes.
Li Fan was finally convinced that this was really an illusory experience brought by Yima.
but……
"hiss!"
Li Fan touched his chest, and there was another deep wound there.
While he was walking around outside to verify, a total of eight scars appeared on Li Fan's body.
"It's happening faster and faster, and the wounds are getting bigger and bigger."
"Even if I know these are all hallucinations, but to this extent..."
"It doesn't matter what's true or false anymore."
"So, if this continues, I might actually die?"
Before Li Fan traveled through time, he had heard of a kind of punishment.
Blindfold the prisoner and slash his arm with a knife.
Then water droplets imitated the sound of dripping blood, and he kept whispering about the loss of blood.
Although the wound on his arm had already solidified, he would not die of excessive blood loss.
But there are actually some prisoners who, under the constant psychological suggestions of others and themselves, really think that they have lost too much blood, and then slowly die.
When you think you are dead, you will really die.
Li Fan guessed that the role of [Yima] was the same.
Because the illusion has reached the point where it is almost indistinguishable from reality. If you don't do anything and just wait for the situation to continue to develop.
When Yima's body suffered fatal injuries such as his head being exploded.
Li Fan was also likely to be affected by the synchronized injuries, and he really thought that he was also seriously injured.
Then he died inexplicably.
This is the exact impact of self-awareness on the body.
And want to avoid this.
unless……
Li Fan opened the [Huazhen] panel.
Keep an eye on the charging progress.
"As long as [Huan Zhen]'s automatic body protection is not triggered, no matter how real your feelings are, there is no danger to your life."
Thinking this way, Li Fan couldn't help but feel a lot more at ease.
The panic in my heart gradually disappeared.
