Volume 1: Once Upon a Time in the Capital Chapter 124: Golden Blood
β
Li Xiangru gently spread out his palms, which looked as crystal clear as pearls under the soft sunlight of the early morning.
It's not blood, it's a golden-yellow transparent gem.
With a flick of Lao Go's fingers, a stream of blood flowed from his palm into the center of the deep pool.
Blood fell from the sky, coagulated like beads. The pleasant "ding dong" that touches the water in the valley covers all the sounds of nature. It was as if even the gurgling water that came down from the heights had been forbidden, and between this square inch of heaven and earth, only this drop of golden blood fell into the surface of the lake.
A drop of blood shone through the mist, and gently jumped into the water, causing the blood to bounce slightly, and slowly melted into the deep pool here. A layer of slight to extreme ripples spread for several kilometers until it touched the shore.
The layer of mist that shrouded the surface of the lake gradually disappeared as if it had been reflected by the sun. The surface of the lake is calm, calm as a mirror.
Li Xiangru looked at all this in a daze, and only after a long time did he take his eyes off the lake, looked at Lao Gou suspiciously, and asked, "What is this......?" This...... Be...... What happened?"
The blood was golden, and he himself knew it for the first time. At the time of the injury, there was blood, but the scarlet was as usual, why was it like this at this time? Could it be that it was really mutated? When did it mutate? Why did it mutate?
Lao Gou looked at the lake indifferently and asked rhetorically, "Every time you are injured, do you find that you will heal quickly, and you will heal so much that you don't even have a scar on your body?"
"Yes". Li Xiangru nodded, he has always regarded this matter as the aura of the protagonist who has crossed the ground, and as a golden finger that does not have too many shortcuts. I used to be afraid that others would know about it, and then I used to think of myself as a guinea pig. You must know that there is no shortage of that kind of research madness in every era and every world, and the alchemists of this world are by no means more crazy than the researchers of that world.
"Haven't you left the Burning City since you can remember, have you? Except for a few people in the barracks, there is no contact with other outsiders, right?" Lao Gou still replied and continued to ask.
"Senior, what exactly do you want to say?" Li Xiangru couldn't bear this kind of dumb riddle-like conversation, and asked directly. "Haven't we already investigated all my things? and even investigated things I don't know, right? For example, my biological parents?" When he said the latter sentence, his expression froze slightly, even if it was his parents, he was only the parents of this body.
Lao Gou smiled, turned around, looked at the young man who was a little impatient, looked at him kindly, and said slowly, "Parents, I don't know. The attention was only after that fire, and to be honest, they did investigate their true identities, but it was very strange that none of them knew where they came from. No one knows who their real parents are. β
The corners of Li Xiangru's mouth hooked, and he secretly said in his heart...... It's strange that he can find it, and even if he finds it, it's just his parents in this shell. What if I found it? Daddy said that I was just like his dead son, so he just picked me up and raised me to play. He's slow
Slowly losing patience, he sighed and said, "It's a pity......
"We are not omnipotent. It is impossible to find the source of everything, and it is impossible to solve all problems......" Lao Gou glanced at Li Xiangru deeply, and said with a point.
"Senior, can you talk about the point?" Li Xiangru shrugged his shoulders helplessly and interrupted.
"When did you get so impatient? It's not like it's the way it should be. Lao Gou frowned slightly and said. However, he only said one sentence, and then turned to the topic, saying, "It is the blood of the body, so that the gluttony can be quickly restored and the body is damaged." Most specially, it isβthe soul!"
"Soul?" asked Li Xiangru puzzled. Frowning and thinking, what is the problem with the soul? Could it be that the two souls overlap? But there is very little memory of the previous one in his body. It stands to reason that the soul of the former owner of the body is gone. iQIWEN i7wx is the fastest update
"Yes, soul!" Old Hook's eyes became a little sharp, and he said in a deep voice, "At first we suspected that it was a soul with a very complicated past, and obtained this body by taking it. β
"Let's not talk about tentative topics anymore. I believe that if you had thought that I had passed the sacrificial, I would not be alive today. Li Xiangru ignored Lao Gou's eyes, and his expression became a little unhappy. This kind of information is not only used by many online writers in his world, but also still exists in this world.
"Not bad. Even our souls have been checked repeatedly with secret techniques, and nothing unusual has been found. It was also because of this concern in the early days that two voices were produced, one to kill, and the other to support. And every time they escape death, it is these people who want to save it who are secretly protecting. Some people believe that the soul before the body is pushed out, which is why there are so many whimsical ideas and many creations, such as military body boxing, epidemic defense methods, and heavenly punishment...... These things already contain a lot of domain knowledge, but they were created by one person, so they don't deserve attention?"
Li Xiangru frowned slightly, did not refute these, and after pondering for a while, he asked, "Is it the same with seniors?"
"No, the old man is the one who wants to kill. After all, we don't want to risk letting our bodies grow up and become a hidden danger to the human race. This kind of thing happened 110 years ago. Lao Gou shook his head, remembering the thrilling war a hundred years ago, and recalled with trepidation, "At that time, we found a young cultivator in the Alien Beast Chaos Host Land, who was gentle and elegant, pure and kind at first. We spent a lot of effort to cultivate him, consumed spiritual power to help him suppress the fierce beast backlash, and found heavenly materials and earth treasures to refine his muscles and bones. But later, he was still alienated, became extremely ferocious, and killed people when he saw them. We lost more than a dozen great cultivators to strangle, but he still escaped. He has been swallowed up by the beast and his body has been replaced by wontons. β
Li Xiangru suddenly became enlightened, this is one of the reasons why the national teacher was hostile to him at the beginning, right?
They want me to be the key. This feeling of love and hatred really puts those great cultivators in a dilemma.
Thinking of the catastrophe that the human race is facing now, he smiled, at this time, they can no longer have such energy to cultivate anyone, once they are cultivated, they may kill like the person in front of them, leaving them powerless. It seems that time is running out of time, and their performance has already passed their inspection period?
"Then, am I the qualified one?" Li Xiangru raised the corners of his mouth lightly, and said, "I believe that Senior Gou brought me here not to kill me, nor to preach." The ugly girl's thing, you should also know, saying that many things can't be done, but I still have to work hard, I don't want them to be wronged, hurt, and I don't want to...... Waste a lot of time listening to stories. β
Lao Gou laughed, tapped Li Xiangru's forehead with his fingers, and said, "It's really not wrong to say that you are bold." Yes, it has indeed been tested by us and has been recognized by us. On the one hand, it has been tested, and on the other hand, it is forced by current events. He added helplessly, "This barrier is slowly becoming irresistible. In the current situation, it is only ten years. So, in this decade, we can only intensify the cultivation of the pair. β
He's talking about them.
A lock can have multiple keys, but a key may not necessarily be equipped with several locks. And Li Xiangru's "key" was slowly taken over by him to cultivate.
"How many 039 keys are there?" Li Xiangru frowned and asked, "How are you going to intensify my cultivation?"
Lao Gou nodded appreciatively and replied, "National Teacher Chen Qingfeng's disciple Bai Su, the body of a phoenix. Cultivated by him personally, unfortunately, he stopped at the Tianshan Mountains and his Dao heart was damaged. There is also a disciple of Master Zhou of Goose Lake Academy, who has been studying by Master Zhou's side since he was a child. He wanted that disciple to inherit the Confucian Taoist tradition, and he had already failed when he was tested by the sage's small world. There is also a Buddhist disciple Wuxin, it is said that he has a unique wisdom root since he was a child, and he has the same Bai Ze spiritual sense as the national teacher, you know, the most beneficial place in this world is this Bai Ze, Phoenix spiritual sense. Unintentionally retreating at the gate of the Buddhist family, he is breaking the mirror. There is also a Taoist meteor, with three thousand Taoist scriptures in his heart, and he has begun to be on the way to the small world of the saint. β
"Eh" Li Xiangru heard this, sighed slightly in his heart, thought about it and felt that these were all reasonable. Lao Gou said that these people were already terrifying just because of their background, and asked, "Then, how high is their success rate? Why do they pin their hopes on me? Compared with any of them, I am more like the most unreliable person in the middle of the house." β
Lao Gou smiled, shook his head, and said, "This is a bit humble, it can make Master Zhou praise and make Chen Qingfeng helpless, and he can still have this achievement after living in gluttony for many years, which is much more powerful than them." You know, in addition to being gifted, any of them have received a lot of orthodox education, and they spend their time on cultivation without distractions. However, it is still going through the red dust, and the mind has been tempered. he
What we don't have in us is the view of the world, the stubborn insistence on the heart, and the blood and soul. β
At this time, a burst of bubbles suddenly appeared at the bottom of the lake, and the bubbles were very small, but very concentrated. With Lao Gou and Li Xiangru's ability to perceive spiritual sense, after these changes, they all responded calmly and calmly. Just looked at Lao Gou with some puzzlement and asked, "Senior, what's the situation?"
"The Northern Wilderness Sutra in the Divine Strange Sutra)" has a record of the pond cross-fish, born in the stone lake, this lake is not frozen. It is seven or eight feet long, and it is shaped like a carp and is red. Lao Gou said slowly.
