336 Placebo therapy
Since experiencing Chen Xiansong's incident, Barlow's first reaction when he sees a beautiful woman is whether this guy is a hard stubble, even if he is interested, he will only act after launching an investigation. As for Cleopatola, a beauty who suddenly appeared and didn't know the details at all, but was a rich and noble woman, he subconsciously wanted to avoid it.
Barlow shuddered at Cleopatola's sexual innuendo, and although his body was honest and responsive, he didn't dare to think much in his head. No matter how good the beauty is, you have to have your life to enjoy it. He coughed lightly and said, "Madam, if you have any questions, you can try to raise them, and I will try to do it for you." ”
Cleopatola was a little strange, and the guy's reaction was somewhat unexpected for her. She knew that she was very beautiful, even comparable to the servant of the sun god, and in the past, as long as she showed a little bit of that meaning, men were excited, even her brothers would not be an exception. It's just that recently she met two guys who were indifferent to her beauty, one was Chen Xiansong, the Aurora kid she met not long ago, and the other was the man Ken Qian.
Doubting to doubt, she still tried to say her thoughts: "Your Excellency, I want to go out of the city gate to the other side of Panama, I know that the city gate here cannot be opened casually, but I have something very important to think about, if you can open the city gate for me, I think I can give you a special gift." ”
Barlow thought of Chen Xiansong, and he was a little strange: "Why do so many people want to pass through the Barnabas Canal recently?" A few days ago, a nobleman from the Aurora Kingdom came out of the city gate with a woman of extreme beauty, sitting in a strange metal coffin. And then not so long ago, a couple of lizards ......"
Cleopatola stood up with a bang, her chest swelling: "Where did they go?" ”
"Looks like you have something to do with them." Barlow squinted. Looking at each other: "Lover, or enemy?" Well, since you know him, I don't dare to keep you casually. It's easy to get out of the city, I'll take you there now. After speaking, Barlow stood up, he was now afraid of Chen Xiansong, the previous lord said that he would change it, and he died so miserably. He didn't want to provoke such an enemy.
Cleopatola didn't expect things to be settled so easily, and she stood up. Following Barlow: "So, do you know where he went?" ”
"Who knows!" Barlow shrugged: "I don't dare to ask about that person casually, I finally became the lord of the city, I want to enjoy life and pass on my bloodline." ”
And on the other side. Chen Xiansong and the other three entered the city of the sun. The city is the most crowded place in the world, with a permanent population of more than two million. Generally speaking. The more crowded the place. The worse the order, the better the security here, it is unimaginably good. Of course, where there is light, there must be darkness, and there is crime in this city, but compared to other big cities. In proportion, it's pitiful.
After entering the city, Chen Xiansong found that his surroundings were obviously empty, and pedestrians were almost avoiding him. He thought about it. Immediately understood what was going on. Bai Min is a cyborg, and is very similar in temperament to the new human. The people of this city can often see the sun god servants coming in and out, and they have an intuitive understanding of their image, so they all think that Bai Min is the sun god servant, and giving way is a way to show respect.
Chen Xiansong saw that some people were still saluting, and immediately took Xiao Min's hand and walked forward quickly, which made the people around him very uproar. The Sun God Servant has always been high, although he said that he would not bully the people, but he never made false remarks to ordinary people, and now I see an ordinary human being, actually holding the little hand of the Sun God Servant, many people are stimulated, and it is also a very normal thing.
When the city is white, the whole city will be golden yellow, because the light will be refracted by the pillar of the sun, and it will become like this. Of course, there is a certain range of these rays, and the walls of the city are built at the very edge of the golden rays. After Chen Xiansong took Bai Min and walked a few more steps, he found that the surrounding environment had changed, and any object, any living being, was covered with a layer of golden yellow and soft light.
Believers believe that this light is the light of the sun and can cure most diseases. They are convinced of it. In fact, the people in the city are generally healthy, and some of them have not even died of any illness in their lives. According to the research of scientists more than 10,000 years ago, placebo therapy can be applied to most diseases, including some terminal diseases, as long as the patient's trust is sufficient.
The believers of the Sun Temple have a very high belief in the Sun Pillar, and this spirit is used by them for themselves, and they believe that the divine light emitted by the Sun Pillar has the effect of curing diseases, and this concept has been passed down from generation to generation, and then strengthened day by day over time.
The people who live here are mentally and mentally and mentally better than people everywhere else. Chen Xiansong can see it, and Bai Min and Ma Huameng can see it even more.
In fact, when he first entered the periphery of the golden light, Bai Min had already analyzed the composition of these rays, and as a result, it was just a simple refracted ray, which still belonged to the ranks of ordinary rays. After she finished analyzing, she then looked at the place where the two of them crossed their hands, and there was a faint shame on the corner of her mouth.
Compared with Bai Min, Ma Huameng's expression when he looked at the Pillar of the Sun was a little dignified.
Because this is a city of faith, people come and go, and there is a lot of traffic. That's why the hotels here are usually full. Chen Xiansong pulled Bai Min and asked several hotels, all of which were the same. During this period, the owners of those inns saw Bai Min, but their expressions were happy and frightened.
After looking for a few hotels, it started to get a little dark. Chen Xiansong was worried about whether he was going to sleep on the floor when a little boy with a snot came up to them. The little boy was wearing patched clothes, his face was a little yellow, and although he was very energetic, it was obvious that he was a little malnourished.
"Three honorable Excellencies." The little boy looked at Bai Min, and then turned his gaze back to Chen Xiansong: "Did you just come to the City of the Sun today, and you still can't find a house to live in?" ”
Chen Xiansong looked at the other party, and he found that this little boy was only about six or seven years old, and there was not much smart expression in his eyes, so he should not be the seedling of a soul thinker. Then he nodded and asked with some curiosity: "Yes, but how do you know Lu Dao?" ”
"Because in four days it will be the Day of Blessing." The little boy sniffed and said, "At this time, there are a lot of people, and there are many people like you who can't find a place to live. Three honorable Excellencies, if you are interested, you can come and live in my house, the third floor of my house is very clean, there are three empty rooms. Eat and wash clothes, only one silver coin a day, very cost-effective. ”
Chen Xiansong was worried that he couldn't find a place to stay, this little guy was simply a lucky god who fell asleep to send pillows, and said with a smile: "Okay." Then take us to your house to see if it's okay. ”
The little boy nodded happily, and then jumped ahead to lead the way. After rounding a few street crossings. They came to a small three-story building. This small building also has a courtyard with some beautiful flowers and plants. The little boy pushed open the door and shouted inside, "Daddy, I'm back, and I'm bringing three guests, and they're going to stay." ”
"Hey, I'm here." Not much. There was a man in the room, although he looked strong and healthy, but Chen Xiansong could see that he had just entered the prime of life. There are already a lot of gray hair on his temples, and there is a strong smell of herbs on his body.
The man's eyes swept over the three of them, and then stayed on Bai Min's body for two more seconds, his eyes a little surprised. Because Bai Min's appearance and temperament are too similar to the sun god servants he has seen. After a few short seconds, the man asked a little crampedly: "Three honorable Excellencies, my name is Messi." This is my son Borg. Are you planning to rent a house? ”
Chen Xiansong nodded.
The man's expression was a little happy, and he bent down slightly and said, "Your Excellency, the third floor of our house is very clean, including food, and only one silver coin a day." Of course, the food is a bit rudimentary, and if you want to eat something good, add five copper coins a day. ”
To be honest, in such a crowded and overcrowded city, such a price is already very cheap. Chen Xiansong asked other hotels, only cheap low-class single rooms, and they cost three silver coins a day, not including food.
"I add an extra silver coin every day to make as good food as I can." Chen Xiansong took out two gold coins and put them in the other party's hand.
Messi is very happy, such generous customers are rare. He led the three of them upstairs, and then pointed out the places one by one to show them. This floor seems to have been specially decorated, and the things inside are relatively beautiful bamboo furniture, and the bedding is also cleanly washed, neatly folded, and there is a faint fragrance of flowers.
Chen Xiansong now knows what he wants to plant so many flowers and plants in his garden, which was originally used as perfume. The faint fragrance of the furniture is exactly the same as the scent of a certain flower in the courtyard.
After Messi introduced the layout of the room, he went downstairs to prepare dinner for the guests. Chen Xiansong let out a long sigh and fell on his back on the bamboo bed. The extremely elastic bed underneath him made him feel very comfortable. But when he thought that Sister Qianxin had no news yet, he sighed again, stood up, walked to the balcony, and looked at the towering pillar of the sun in the distance.
Legend has it that the Temple of the Sun is just below the Pillar of the Sun. But it was said to be the closest place to God, heavily guarded, and without guidance, and if outsiders dared to trespass, they would be killed on the spot. The strength of the Sun God Servant is not a joke.
At this time, Ma Huameng also walked to the balcony. She propped herself on the balcony railing, looking out at the pillar of the sun, the breeze blowing her jet-black hair, and bursts of feminine fragrance reached Chen Xiansong's nose. After a while, Ma Huameng asked, "Can you feel that the Pillar of the Sun exudes an inexplicable pressure?" ”
Chen Xiansong shook his head.
Ma Huameng turned around and asked Bai Min: "What about you?" ”
Bai Min also shook his head. Ma Huameng's expression was a little heavy, and she said, "I told you earlier that this crystal is an alien mothership, but my father has destroyed most of its functions. I was there at the time, and I felt like it was 'dead.'" But now, I feel that it seems to come to life again, and you are not cultivators, so you will not understand. ”
"What does that mean?" Chen Xiansong asked.
"I don't know." Ma Huameng shook his head: "It's just that I have a premonition that it's not very good." After the evening, I went to check on the situation. Aren't you going to find a cyborg named Bai Qianxin? If there's any news of her, I'll bring it back and tell you about it, as a way of repaying you for getting me out of the survival pod. In 10,000 years, even if the life support pod made by the new humans is easy to use, it will definitely run out of power, and it must not even be able to start the program to wake me up. If I continue like that, even if I am a cultivator, I will definitely die, so ...... Thank you. ”
MCA dreams smiled, very beautiful.
Chen Xiansong also smiled: "Don't be so polite, there are so few natural people now, maybe it's just the two of us." The so-called friend is that you help me, I help you, and there is no need for so many polite words of etiquette. As for you going to check out the situation at night. Do you want to take Xiaomin with you, act together so that you can take care of each other. ”
"Dismissed!" Bai Min suddenly spoke: "In such an unknown environment, Xiao Song's safety is the first sequence, and I will protect you by your side." ”
Chen Xiansong couldn't laugh or cry, the cyborg in the nascent stage was this shortcoming. I don't know how to prioritize. I don't know how to be flexible yet. If Bai Qianxin was here, she would definitely agree with Chen Xiansong's opinion. Act with MCA Dream.
Ma Hua glanced at Chen Xiansong with a smile. said: "You are really amazing, in the nascent stage, cyborgs without any emotional fluctuations are dead to you, although most of the feelings have not appeared, but as a woman, I can already feel that her body has sprouted love This kind of love is the most fascinating." It is also the most beautiful feeling. ”
Chen Xiansong put his arm around Bai Min's slender waist, pulled her into his arms, and said generously: "We have a relationship with each other, that is, family affection." It is also love, and it is higher than love. You don't think much of cyborgs, but I like it myself. ”
"I didn't mean to laugh at you. It's just a blessing. Ma Huameng explained slowly.
At this time, Messi came up and said: "Three Excellencies, the meal has been prepared, please come down and eat." ”
The three of them went down to the living room on the first floor and saw a round table in the center, on which were placed four dishes and one soup, two dishes and two vegetables. Before you get closer, you can smell a nice scent. The little boy Bolger was drooling as he watched the food on the table. Messi asked the three to sit down. Seeing that he was about to leave, Chen Xiansong said: "Don't go, let's eat together, there are too many dishes, and the three of them can't finish it." ”
"That's not good." Messi was a little embarrassed, but also a little moved.
"It's okay, come on." Chen Xiansong beckoned to the little boy next to him, Bolger, and said, "I remember your name is Bolger, right, come here, sit next to your brother, and everyone will eat together." ”
Chen Xiansong can see that this guy's living conditions should not be good. Although the whole home is very clean, there is no good furniture on the first and second floors. The really good furniture is all on the third floor, which should be used to entertain guests. And the little boy looks malnourished, and he must have never eaten enough.
Bolg sucked his fingers, staring greedily at the food on the table, and then at his father expectantly. Messi looked at his son's hot eyes, he felt that Chen Xiansong was easier to speak, and after struggling in his heart for a while, he sighed and said: "Then thank you, Your Excellency, Bolge, go wash your hands first, wash your face, and then go to the table to eat." ”
The little boy nodded vigorously, and then ran to the kitchen, and the sound of rushing water was heard. Chen Xiansong took advantage of this opportunity and asked: "Landlord, the appearance of these dishes looks very delicate and exquisite, not like a craft that you can make by a stout man, you should also have a wife, let her come out to eat together." ”
Messi was stunned for a moment, and then admired and said: "Your Excellency, you are really amazing." These things were indeed made by my wife. She doesn't know anything else, but when it comes to cooking, she is absolutely self-taught. If it weren't for the fact that I wasn't in good health and couldn't cook for a long time, maybe I would have turned this house into a small hotel. ”
After Messi finished speaking, he went to the inner room and brought out a young woman. She has a strong smell of herbs on her body, which is stronger than the smell on the man's body. Chen Xiansong carefully observed her for a while and found that her complexion was very white, especially her lips, which were a little too white, and there was hardly much blood.
I was very sick. When Chen Xiansong was thinking this, Ma Huameng leaned into his ear and whispered, "This woman has leukemia." ”
Chen Xiansong was taken aback. After the 23rd century, leukemia is not a major disease, only natural people will get it, and even if it does, it can be cured by just knocking a piece of medicinal sugar, but in this era, leukemia should be an incurable disease.
After seeing Bai Min, the woman was also quite surprised, she made a civilian salute to Chen Xiansong and the three of them, and introduced herself: "Hello three distinguished lords, my name is Sola, and I am Messi's wife. ”
Her voice was soft and soft, and although it sounded good, it gave people a feeling of weakness. I don't know if it's the patient's cause, or if it's just innate. Chen Xian sang up, introduced himself, and of course helped Bai Min and Ma Huameng to introduce it.
At this time, the little boy ran out of the kitchen, washed his hands and face, and looked a little delicate, a little like his mother Sora. A few people sat down, chatting while eating, the three of Messi's family were a little cramped at first, eating very gently, especially the little boy, after sandwiching a piece of meat, put it in a bowl, tearing apart the shredded meat and eating it slowly, and eating it very deliciously, I think I have almost never eaten meat in ordinary times.
After a while, the three of them also let go a lot. At this time, Chen Xiansong asked: "Messi, does Mrs. Sola have leukemia, I don't think her qi and blood are very good, why don't you go to someone for treatment?" ”
Sora's expression darkened. Messi sighed and said, "I don't know what Leukemia is, maybe it's what you say." Sora has a disease, which we call blood hidden disease here, and after getting this disease, the blood in her body will become clear and light day by day. Most people don't live more than four or five years, but Sola survived fourteen years, and she contracted the disease when she was seven years old. ”
"Fourteen years?" Chen Xiansong was very surprised. (To be continued......)
