Volume 1: The Soul Burning Poem Chapter 6: The Philosopher's Stone
A thousand boats stepped through puddles and splashed a puddle of muddy water.
Before the muddy water hit the ground, Qianzhou had already reached the front of a monster, and between the lightning and the fire, Qianzhou clenched his fist and hit the monster's ugly head with anger.
Almost at the moment of collision, Qianzhou's hand bones were already broken, but the shattered bones were forcibly glued together under the power of the blood soul seal, and the tall monster was knocked to the ground by this punch.
Then Qianzhou dodged the claw of the other monster with his short body, grabbed the monster's arm with his backhand, lifted the monster up, and threw it at the third monster like a sack. The two monsters collided suddenly.
"Philosophy scene. Qianzhou chuckled, completely ignoring how many muscles had just been torn and how many bones had been broken. If it weren't for the power of the Blood Soul Seal, Qianzhou would not even be able to speak now.
Qianzhou hooked his fingers: "Don't be cowardly, keep doing it." ”
The three-headed monster got up from the ground, but after several entanglements, he didn't even touch Qianzhou's clothes, but was hit hard by Qianzhou a few times. For a moment, Qianshu seemed to have the upper hand.
When the three monsters stood up again, Chishu had already realized the trouble.
The Blood Soul Seal continued to extract essentia, and now Qian Zhou only felt confused, and he would faint almost immediately. The blood was also close to drying up, the whole body was cold, and the limbs were weak. The power of the Blood Soul Seal gradually faded, and Qianzhou found it difficult to even stand up.
In a trance, Qianzhou seemed to see the demon's smile, and he said, "Boy, the VIP experience is over, it's time to top up the money." ”
On the other hand, the three monsters, Qianzhou's few punches were nothing more than skin wounds to them.
Sure enough, no matter where it is, the reality is a bad game. It's all crossed, and I have to top up the money.
Anyway, every time I charge the money, it still doesn't ship!
In a daze, Qianzhou began to think wildly, from the begonias at home to the pancakes in Yundu, from the nagging of his parents to the wrinkles on Professor Finn's face, and finally fixed on the bright smile of the white-haired girl.
Qianzhou closed his eyes, and he had never felt his soul so clearly under the dryness of the essentia.
"Isn't there a little left? ”
Qianzhou opened his eyes, and silver flames danced in his eyes.
The flames flowed through Qianzhou's body like mercury, and it was the brilliant fireworks that bloomed in the soul, and it was the blood of the burning pale silver. Even the Blood Soul Seal itself became fuel for the flames!
The flames of the water waves surged up like the tide of the sea, and for a moment it was as if the Milky Way had fallen to the world, and as if in chaos, a voice said, "Let there be light." ”
The blazing silver light forced Aurora to close her eyes, and when she opened them again, Chishu had staggered over to her, with three charred corpses behind her.
Qianzhou fell into the girl's arms, the silver flames on her body had faded, and only a few wisps of fire were about to be extinguished.
The girl hurriedly helped him. Qianzhou felt a dry itch in his throat, but he didn't even have the strength to cough.
"You're probably going to be alone again. Qianzhou said this sentence when he was unprecedentedly calm, and the death that he once felt terrible seemed to be nothing more than Er'er at this time.
"Don't go. The girl said this with a slight tremor.
Qianzhou showed a wry smile. He could clearly feel that his body was like a tattered doll, with shattered bones, weakened internal organs, blood nearly dry, and almost rotten flesh inside, only the appearance of a human being. More serious than the body is the soul, with only a few embers left. In fact, it is a miracle that Qianzhou is still conscious.
Miracles are really worthless.
In a drowsy state, Qianzhou felt that her consciousness began to move away, and she only heard the girl's slightly crying but categorical voice: "You won't die." ”
Ou Ruo stretched out his left hand and slashed at the sharp edge of the stone, and a cut was made in his palm. The girl held the blood in her right hand, and a faint yellow flame poured out of her right hand.
The flames were clearly a myriad of dancing symbols.
That is the fire of the alchemist!
Scarlet blood flowed out continuously, but the girl always had only such a small lump in her hand. As the flames continued to burn, the surface of the blood faded away, and the deeper essence was released, finally turning into a rose-red fluid.
If an alchemist is present, it will be discovered that it is one of the ultimate miracles of alchemy—the omnipotent, the stone of the philosopher.
The flames continued to burn, and with the Philosopher's Stone as the raw material, a grand alchemy ceremony was carried out in the palm of the girl's hand.
Gathering, decomposing, purifying, compounding......
Countless reactions occurred in this rosy fluid, and the girl's face became more and more pale, and beads of sweat the size of beans flowed down her forehead, and then washed away by the rain.
When the flame was extinguished, the girl's blood had turned into a milky white crystal.
The girl used her last strength to put the crystals into Qianzhou's mouth, and at the same time silently prayed: "Please wake up." ”
And so, a miracle happened.
The power of the Philosopher's Stone surged into the limbs and bones of the Thousand Boats, flesh was repaired, bones were reconnected, and dried blood began to flow.
Then came the revival of the soul. The burning embers turn into a new chrysalis of nirvana, and new souls emerge from it!
............
The heavy rain gradually stopped, and in the deep night, the young man carried the girl on his back, one foot deep and one shallow foot into the distance.
I don't know how long later, a golden retriever in a shabby trench coat appeared here.
An Zhe scratched his head: "This can't be made by that kid, I just slept for a while." When I saw him, I thought that he must be in trouble, born with such a high inspiration, either the material of the transcendent or the best sacrifice. ”
After a pause, An Zhe said again: "It seems that my bonus still falls on him, and if he doesn't do some performance, he won't even score a fish for the New Year." ”
······
It just rained yesterday, which washed away a bit of autumn dryness in Yundu, and it was rare to make the weather more comfortable. The hawkers, the merchants, and the horse-drawn carriages that rushed by woke up the noisy city. The sun came late, but it didn't affect the interest of the visitors.
Qianshu wore a dark blue coat and followed Aurora closely, for fear that the weak girl would fall at any moment.
The girl was wearing a beige trench coat, slightly wide but not damaging the girl's posture - this was the clothes of a thousand boats. The girl's face was still a little pale, but her violet eyes seemed to be filled with a clear light.
Qianzhou wanted to let the weak girl rest at home, but the girl insisted on coming out, and Qianzhou could only fulfill the girl's wishes.
The autumn afternoon sun is a little less dry, through a thin layer of clouds hitting the two people walking side by side, the city under the blue sky is like a lively and quiet oil painting.
As the largest port in the Qin State, the scenery of almost all continents can be seen here. From ready-to-wear shops with different costumes, to shops selling all kinds of food, to various pubs, teahouses, and cafes, the dazzling array is dazzling.
The girl's face was flat, but whenever something new appeared, Qianzhou could always see the ripples in the girl's eyes, and she couldn't help but laugh secretly in her heart.
The two of them walked and walked around for most of the afternoon before finally settling down in a café.
Qianzhou rubbed his calf and looked at the delicate and lovely girl in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh that no matter which woman in the world went shopping, it seemed that she had inexhaustible strength.
Wouldn't I have written this into the world as a "theorem"?
Soon the waiter brought the drink. The specialty of this shop is a drink made with powdered tea, coffee beans, and milk mixed with something unknown.
Qianzhou was a little unaccustomed to it, and only barely drank two sips. However, the girl on the other side drank it all with great interest.
Looking at the absent-minded Qianzhou girl, she wiped the water stains on the side of her mouth and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing. Qianzhou sighed, "It's just that you encountered so much danger yesterday, and you still didn't find anything." ”
Yesterday, the gray zone party had nothing to gain except to know that the clown was hostile to a cult-like organization.
The girl has no experience in comforting people, or the girl doesn't know what comfort is at all, but just looks at Qianzhou silently, and a pair of violet eyes ripple with gentle light, like a river of stars.
Looking at the girl's appearance, Qianzhou only felt a slight warmth in his heart, and all the gloomy clouds dispersed, and smiled at the girl: "Thank you...... Huh?"
As if he had seen something surprising, Qianzhou was suddenly stunned.
The girl turned her head to follow Qianzhou's gaze, and saw a poster posted on the wall of the opposite street:
[The touring troupe "Participating in Business" came to the Yundu Grand Theater. 】
This is followed by a more detailed introduction, with one of the many images of a magician throwing a handkerchief into a white dove and flying towards the audience.
The girl blinked and looked at Qianzhou, completely unsure of what the point was.
Qianzhou narrowed his eyes, as if he was caught in a memory: "Although the 'clown' yesterday was wearing a clown mask, his posture and actions were not like clowns, and the various techniques used were also magicians. It just so happened that the 'Samshang' troupe seems to have a fairly famous magician. ”
The girl ate another piece of cake, and a slight expression of relief appeared on her face.
I don't know what you're talking about, but the cake is delicious.
Qianzhou didn't care whether the girl understood it or not, but rubbed her chin and said secretly in her heart: But if you want to go to the "Shenshang" troupe to find out, you still need to find a reliable thug.
