Chapter 1: Chestnut Baoding
In the early hours of the morning, Ningcheng City, the capital of Lingxi Province, in a remote alley. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Shen Dong lay on the cold ground in embarrassment, gasping for breath.
He had just gone to a place called Shin Shin Bar to drink, and before he knew it, he was dazed, and finally he was inexplicably involved in a conflict, and he suffered some losses.
After a little sobered up, he immediately fled, but the injury was too serious, and some top-heavy, I didn't know how many falls along the way, just after falling down and almost let a stray dog take advantage of the fire to rob, fortunately, the tiger was in the majestic wind, and he finally scared the beast away.
After gasping for breath for a while, and as soon as his strength recovered, Shen Dong hurriedly got up.
It's late February, and Ningcheng is the cold season of spring, so it's not advisable to stay outside for a long time, and it's only right to go home early.
But there was one more thing to do before, so he endured the pain all over his body, and bent down and touched the ground a few times with anticipation, and then he was happy, the chestnut shell he was going to give to his grandmother was not taken away by the stray dog, which is good, very good.
Hey?
Shen Dong was suddenly stunned again, and he hurriedly looked at the chestnut shell in his hand by the dim light of the street lamp.
This little thing was found in the belly of the fish when he was killing fish in a nearby restaurant where he worked and cried a few days ago, and it was like a chestnut shell that had been hollowed out after the buttocks had been removed, and the texture was a little indistinguishable, but it couldn't be pierced with a needle, so he wanted to give it to his grandmother as a thimble.
Grandma is not used to wearing thimbles when doing needlework, but directly with the fingernails of the thumb instead, this chestnut shell is a little bigger, but after stuffing a little cotton inside, it will definitely be able to put on grandma's thumb, which is definitely the most suitable thimble for grandma.
He kept it to see if it could fit snugly on his finger, and he wore it on his hand, which proved to be a special thimble.
Just now, this chestnut shell made him fall off, it is estimated that his blood stained on it made the stray dog who followed him for at least two minutes misjudge, the beast wanted to snatch this chestnut shell, he was still very nervous, but he also had no way to take others.
And after finding this chestnut shell as he wished, he tried to put it back on, but it felt a little awkward, because there seemed to be something in the shell?
Shen Dong hurriedly pinched the chestnut shell and poured it on his other hand, and there was indeed a round thing on the palm, the size of a mung bean grain.
Shen Dong's nose couldn't help twitching, and he clearly smelled a faint fragrance from this small bean grain.
Putting the small bean under his nose, the fragrance became more obvious, and he swallowed involuntarily.
This little bean grain is definitely not the pebble or something that just slipped into, so what is it?
"Qi and Blood Pill!"
A voice suddenly rang out.
"Who?"
Shen Dong only felt creepy.
It's actually quite remote here, and it's too late, and you can't even see a car on the road.
Shen Dong subconsciously looked at the chestnut shell in his hand, and then his hand trembled a little - is it?!
The chestnut shell was lying quietly in the palm of his hand, Shen Dong looked at the small bean in his other hand, and asked tremblingly in his heart, "What is this?" ”
It was just when he seemed to be thinking about this question just now that a voice sounded in his ears.
"Qi and Blood Pill!"
Sure enough, there was another voice in my ears... No, to be exact, it wasn't a real voice, but a message that popped into his head!
Shen Dong asked again: "What is the Qi and Blood Pill used for?" ”
"Replenish qi and blood, strengthen the body!"
Another stream of information came to his mind.
Then, without him asking, a series of messages quickly appeared directly in his mind.
It turned out that this chestnut shell was called Baoding, it should be a baby, a very magical treasure, just now, Baoding was stained with his blood, and he finally established a blood-related induction with Baoding.
Through Baoding, he can refine the life energy of living beings and obtain Qi and Blood Pills, as long as he puts Baoding on the body of the living beings or stores Baoding close to his body and comes into contact with the living beings.
So, does Baoding have any other functions?
Shen Dong didn't know yet, but just the life energy of this refining creature had already surprised him - the qi and blood pills obtained from refining could replenish his own qi and blood and strengthen his physical body, and this refining itself seemed to be full of a certain meaning, for example, to see who was not pleasing to the eye...
Shen Dong didn't dare to think about it, and taking advantage of the night, he staggered quickly in the direction of home.
His home was actually not far away, but it looked like it was only four or five miles, and after more than ten minutes, he returned home.
This is a simple and compact two-bedroom apartment, in fact, it is a low-rent house, and at the beginning of the year, Aunt Qian of the neighborhood committee gave him Zhang Luo, which was in the community where his original home was located.
More than two years ago, his father was found to have uremia, in order to treat the disease, especially the later kidney replacement, and even sold the original house, last summer after his father was discharged from the hospital, his parents moved back to the countryside, and he has not told them about this low-rent house, at this time the home is naturally empty.
First took the thermos, fortunately, there was boiling water in it, he poured it violently, and his body quickly warmed up a lot, and then came to the kitchen, opened the locker, there were more than thirty raw eggs in it, directly knocked it, ate five in one go, and whezed for a while, his strength finally recovered, and he took a bath with the pain all over his body, and then he came to the bedroom.
Turning on the light, Shen Dong sat at the computer desk and took the chestnut shell and the so-called Qi and Blood Pill almost reverently.
Under the bright light, the appearance of the chestnut shell is very clear, the color and shape are no different from a hollowed-out chestnut shell, and the so-called "ding" does not seem to be welt, but barely like a small pot, or the kind that is pinched flat.
Also, its texture is really hard to judge, it is a little hard to the touch, but it is not stone or iron, and it does not seem to be hard leather or wood.
The space in the shell is so big, his thumb can reach into it thirteen or fourteen millimeters, looking into the shell, the situation is similar, if you touch it, the shell is smooth, it seems that there is nothing special.
But it's such an inconspicuous-looking little thing, but it must be extraordinary—it's called Baoding, it's a treasure, and it can refine life energy!
Shen Dong actually has a big heart, but even with his endurance, he is a little stunned by this baby's ability - refining life energy, is it equivalent to plundering life force?
Shen Dong instinctively came to this conclusion, then, this chestnut Baoding is not a gentle thing.
In this regard, Shen Dong will not feel unacceptable, at the very least, just now Baoding seems to have refined life energy, so he got a qi and blood pill, and the object of Chestnut Baoding's refining, except for the stray dog, it cannot be someone else or something else, and the stray dog didn't seem to be inappropriate at that time.
Moreover, even if something is wrong, Shen Dong will not feel a little uneasy, but is full of some kind of expectation.
The question now is whether this Qi and Blood Pill obtained by Baoding after refining is spiritual or not, if it is not spiritual, then it will be treated as a joke, if it is really spiritual, then he will definitely not be restrained.
Anyway, the goal of refining is not to be found, animals and plants should belong to the category of choice, and there are definitely many people in this world who are not pleasing to the eye and can be used for refining with confidence, and this is really a double win: that is, he gets the qi and blood pill, and he can be regarded as venturing his own qi.
So, is this Qi and Blood Pill really like what Chestnut Baoding said, able to replenish Qi and blood and strengthen the physical body?
Looking at the Qi and Blood Pill, Shen Dong was a little hesitant.
Under the bright light, the qi and blood pills are pale red, and they feel very round like jade, and the aroma is very subtle and not revealing, and it seems to be contained within a certain range of the qi and blood pills, but it is certain that there is some leakage, because at least the fragrance wafts into his nostrils.
From this point of view, Qi and Blood Pills should have a so-called shelf life, and I don't know if sealed storage is good for shelf life, as if it is wiser to take it as soon as possible.
However, he was really a little worried about taking it like this, and he had other options, just find a puppy to be a guinea pig tomorrow.
But this seems to be another waste, and this waste is definitely not acceptable to him.
Although his family's standard of living has regressed for at least ten years after his father's illness, they all know very well that money is not saved, but earned.
So, while using his spare time to make money, he really didn't wronged himself, and even got a girlfriend shortly after the start of the first semester of his junior year last year, and this low-rent house is actually mainly a love nest for two people.
In other words, he doesn't pay much attention to money, anyway, he is still young, and his parents are in their prime, so money is really not a problem.
But the Qi and Blood Pill is absolutely different, Dad only has one kidney now, or a new kidney in exchange, Qi and blood are probably not really very vigorous, and this Qi and Blood Pill seems to be tailor-made for Dad, how can he allow himself to waste it casually?
Also, tonight's encounter also made him very desperate to get stronger.
Originally, tonight's trip to the bar was just a little farce that was almost child's play, he had just quit his job at the hotel where he worked, and his girlfriend Luo Wei was coming back, and his new home was about to usher in a hostess.
As a result, he somehow got drunk and got involved in a conflict, and if he had a strong body, he would definitely not be so embarrassed.
Then, try it on yourself!
Thinking of this, Shen Dong no longer hesitated, picked up the qi and blood pill, and threw it directly into his mouth.
The Qi and Blood Pill melted in his mouth, forming an extremely sweet liquid, which he swallowed without hesitation.
He seemed to see the liquid rushing in his esophagus, and instantly reached the stomach, his stomach suddenly became hot, this heat quickly dispersed, he only felt that the whole body was hot and unbearable, and his physical strength was quickly consumed, he had to rush into the bathroom in a panic, take a cold bath, and his heart was still thinking about the thirty or so raw eggs left in the kitchen...
