Chapter 8 Nine-story tower
At the end of August 369 in the Chinese calendar, it was the season of the scorching sun, and it was also the time for the students to return to school, and it was also the time for the new batch of students to register.
The express train across the north and south continents is like a silver dragon, crossing rivers and mountains in this scorching summer, rushing towards the capital of China.
On the train, a handsome young man wearing gray patched pants, short black and shiny hair, and a haggard face, carrying a black canvas bag full of patches, stood in the aisle next to the toilet, looking at the fleeting scenery outside the window in a daze.
In today's thriving and technologically advanced society, it's rare for someone to go out wearing patched clothes and pants, let alone such a young man. He looks like he is only about twenty years old, and it takes a lot of courage to go out in such a suit of clothes and pants. Of course, these are just the opinions of others, and as for whether he himself has this enlightenment, only he knows the Tao.
This young man dressed so sharply was Xiao Cangsheng who rushed to the first college of the Chinese Federal Government-Huaxia University. Ten years have passed unconsciously, and the half-grown child has grown up. Looking at the fleeting flowers and trees, famous mountains and rivers outside the window, Xiao Cangsheng leaned against the window and slowly recalled his life in the past ten years
The life of the past ten years can be summed up by 'ten years as a day'. In the past ten years, in addition to eating, drinking, and sleeping every day, Xiao Cangsheng spent the rest of his time on training and studying. Xiao Cangsheng's every day was arranged very tightly by Long Wu, and he couldn't even sit down and take a breath, even if he read and studied, he could only do it when he was making potions.
In the past ten years, Xiao Cangsheng has long forgotten what it is like to lie in bed and sleep. Because when it was time to go to bed at night, Long Wu asked him to jump into the big iron bucket that emitted a pungent smell. If the temperature in the big iron bucket is thirty or forty degrees, then Xiao Cangsheng can still sleep peacefully in it; However, the expectation is exactly the opposite of reality, and the temperature in the big iron bucket is not only frighteningly high, but also constant, because the dragon five never let the flames under the big iron bucket have a tendency to weaken.
At the beginning, Xiao Cangsheng couldn't stand the boiling temperature in the big iron bucket at all. After staying in it for an hour or two, I couldn't help but jump out of it, and the whole person looked like a cooked lobster.
Man is one of the most adaptable intelligent creatures in the world! Under this long-term perverted high-temperature training, Xiao Cangsheng gradually adapted to this temperature. At the end of the day, he felt almost no pain. In fact, Xiao Cangsheng also understands that this is not because of his strong adaptability at all; Being able to endure high temperatures and not be afraid of being hot is largely due to the things that Long Wu gave him to eat, and his adaptability only accounted for a small part.
From the day after Xiao Cangsheng woke up after forming a carbon chain, Long Wu began to improve his food. Since then, Xiao Cangsheng has never eaten yellowed rice and hard steamed buns like stones. He eats some batter and soup that exude the smell of various medicinal herbs every day, and occasionally he can eat a piece of meat to beat the tooth sacrifice, but what makes Xiao Cangsheng depressed is that the meat slice of the tooth sacrifice also has a smell of medicinal herbs.
Although it was said that those foods that exuded the smell of medicinal herbs made it difficult for Xiao Cangsheng to swallow, the effect after eating those things was obvious. As he ate more and more of those medicinal foods, Xiao Cangsheng's flesh became stronger and stronger. As his body became stronger, Xiao Cangsheng's training amount was also slowly increased by Long Wu.
Since then, Xiao Cangsheng has not worn a decent shirt or pants. Jumping around on the garbage heap every day, and occasionally having a few tricks with Long Wu, caused Xiao Cangsheng's clothes and pants to be scrapped quickly. Xiao Cangsheng originally planned to train without clothes, but when he heard Long Wu say that the hairs on his body would grow thick and long without clothes for a long time, he dispelled this idea.
In the past ten years, the last thing Xiao Cangsheng wants to do is the actual combat training with Long Wu. Every time he was beaten by Long Wu, his nose and face were swollen, although his body was getting stronger and stronger, but he couldn't withstand Long Wu's more and more ruthless beatings. It wasn't until two years ago that he pulled back a game and beat Long Wu. From then on, Long Wu no longer trained with Xiao Cangsheng in actual combat, which made Xiao Cangsheng, who wanted to take revenge, depressed.
Under the devilish training and logistics support of Long Wu, Xiao Cangsheng quickly mastered the flexible use of carbon chain and benzene energy. Therefore, half a year after Xiao Cangsheng formed the first carbon chain, Long Wu asked Xiao Cangsheng to form the second carbon chain. This time, the benzene ring in Xiao Cangsheng's body also appeared in Long Wu's expectations, but it was different from Long Wu's expectation, and the second benzene ring was not formed in Xiao Cangsheng's body.
But fortunately, there is a consolation prize, at least Xiao Cangsheng has already felt the existence of the benzene ring. As long as the control and application of the benzene ring can be familiarized in the following time, then the formation of the second benzene ring is just around the corner.
Since the benzene ring appeared in the world for the first time, Long Wu couldn't give Xiao Cangsheng any advice at all, so he could only let him explore the control and use of the benzene ring by himself. Unexpectedly, this exploration took nearly two years of laughter. In the past two years, a carbon chain has once again formed in Xiao Cangsheng's body.
Looking at the smiling Cangsheng with gray hair and gray eyes and feet suspended in the air, Long Wu kept sighing - people are more angry than people! Xiao Cangsheng's gray hair and eyes made Long Wu envious, if he walked out of the city like this, how many Huaichun girls would have to be killed! Of course, these are just words from Long Wu.
When Xiao Cangsheng was able to switch back and forth between the carbon chain and the benzene ring with ease, Long Wu asked Xiao Cangsheng to try to form a second benzene ring. However, when forming the benzene ring, there is a problem - how to form the benzene ring? Long Wu and Xiao Cangsheng were confused, and the two of them didn't know how to form a benzene ring at all, so they could only stare at each other with big eyes.
The most experienced Long Wu gave a constructive question: "Since the benzene ring in your body exists in the center of your eyebrows, then you use your consciousness to try to feel it and see what is inside." ”
After listening to Long Wu's suggestion, Xiao Cangsheng didn't say a word, and tried according to Long Wu's method, and he didn't doubt Long Wu's words at all. Not to mention, when Xiao Cangsheng's consciousness entered the center of his eyebrows, he really found some situations.
A huge space appeared in the consciousness of Xiao Cangsheng. With the consciousness of laughing at the common people, he can't detect the edge of this space at all. In this vast and boundless space, Xiao Cangsheng found that there was only a huge hexagonal tower towering into the sky. Xiao Cangsheng circled around the giant tower, and then counted the layers of the tower. Counting to the ninth floor, Xiao Cangsheng found that the tower above was obscured by a thick fog.
Xiao Cangsheng also found that except for the first floor of the tower, which was lit, the other eight floors were pitch black. After looking at this space where there was nothing to explore, Xiao Cangsheng's consciousness withdrew from this space, and then told Long Wu what he had seen.
Listening to Xiao Cangsheng's story, Long Wu was shocked. He didn't expect that there was such a mysterious space in the center of Xiao Cangsheng's eyebrows, could it be that the mysterious space was formed by the 'wheel of fate'? A tower with a floor to light? Xiao Cangsheng formed a benzene ring, and the tower lit up a layer, so could the tower be a reflection of the benzene ring? There is a good chance that my conjecture is correct. But why is the tower not twelve, but nine? Long Wu couldn't figure out the problem either.
Long Wu told Xiao Cangsheng about his conjecture, and then asked him to try it to see if his conjecture was correct. Long Wu didn't seem to think about whether this would cause harm to Xiao Cangsheng.
Xiao Cangsheng's consciousness once again came to the huge space at the center of his eyebrows, and it was only then that he took a serious look at the tower. This tower is not made of gold or jade, let alone stone, and Xiao Cangsheng has not seen what materials this tower is built with for a long time. There is not the slightest gap between the towers, and the entire tower seems to have been carved out of something. On the tower, a series of strange symbols are twisted and twisted on it, looking extremely mysterious.
Xiao Cangsheng observed around the tower, and only then did he see a 'door' formed by strange symbols in the inconspicuous place of the first floor of the tower that was lit up. It's a door, but it's a wall. There is not the slightest gap in the whole tower, and the 'door' that Xiao Cangsheng saw is actually an arched mural formed by a circle of strange symbols. However, Xiao Cangsheng is very sure that it is the door to enter the tower, why is he so sure? Xiao Cangsheng can't say why.
With the strange thoughts in his mind, the laughing ghost made a god and walked towards the 'door'. Seeing that he was about to hit the tower, Xiao Cangsheng closed his eyes and bravely took two steps in a row. It doesn't seem to have hit the tower? Feeling that he hadn't hit a wall, Xiao Cangsheng slowly opened his eyes.
A silvery white light pierced Xiao Cangsheng's eyes, making him unable to see his surroundings clearly. After he fully adapted to the light here, Xiao Cangsheng carefully looked at the environment here.
It was a regular hexagonal room, empty and empty. The walls of the room were also crawling with strange symbols, and the silver-white light emanated from those strange symbols. It seems that the weird symbols that Xiao Cangsheng saw outside were all revealed from here. Why do you say that? Because Xiao Cangsheng found that the strange symbols inside the tower body were opposite to the strange symbols outside the tower, and only the strange symbols in the tower body were glowing, and the strange symbols outside the tower body could not be seen to be glowing at all.
A small regular hexagon is carved in the middle of the room. If you don't look closely, it's really hard to spot this thing. Xiao Cangsheng walked around the room a few times and didn't find a passage, and now only the small regular hexagon in the middle of the room was left untouched.
Xiao Cangsheng cautiously approached the small regular hexagon, then squatted down and took a closer look, and found that there was nothing special. Unrelenting, he touched the small hexagon with his hand when he was pulled into the small hexagon by a huge suction.
After a whirlwind, Xiao Cangsheng felt that his feet were on the ground. When he opened his eyes, Xiao Cangsheng found that it was a dim corridor, which was two meters wide and three or four meters high. The end of the hallway was so dark that I couldn't see what it was. Behind the laughing people is a wall full of strange symbols, and there are also many strange symbols on the walls on all sides of the corridor.
With no way out, Xiao Cangsheng could only head towards the end of the corridor. As soon as he raised his foot and took the first step, Xiao Cangsheng found that there seemed to be a force blocking his progress. The fruitless search for Xiao Cangsheng can only continue to bury his head forward. Xiao Cangsheng felt that the closer he got to the end of the corridor, the greater the force that blocked his progress.
By the time he reached the end of the corridor, Xiao Cangsheng was already tired and sweating. Looking at the pitch-black hole at the end of the corridor, Xiao Cangsheng didn't dare to enter. In the back of his heart, two voices were advising him, and one said, "Can't enter!" Can't enter! If you go in, it's a dead end, so let's get out of this hellish place quickly. Another said, "Get in here!" There's the answer you want. ”
The two voices kept arguing, making Xiao Cangsheng bored. Swinging his fist, he slammed into the wall of the corridor, and the feeling of pain cleared Xiao Cangsheng's mind a lot. In the end, it was courage that overcame fear, and Xiao Cangsheng took a resolute stride towards the dark hole
