And with mercury as the blood, thorns shall be crowned, and in this way the man shall be made into a man.

"How long do you want to hide, my dear Inos. Dizian scratched his head, and his inquiry echoed in the workshop. The guards in the workshop left one after another as if they had received some instructions.

"When did you find out?" a faint sigh came from the doorway, Inoss was dressed in a pale white junir with golden lace tattooed on it, and Inos's voice was soft and pleasant, like a spring flowing in the mountains.

"I always thought it was Grant, his family was very good, and it was Grant who rushed to the alchemy workshop first after the temple riot," Di Zi'an looked at Grant's half-charred corpse, "but later I found out that in the field of alchemy, Grant seems to be completely out of the door." ”

"He doesn't understand anything, does he. It seemed that he didn't expect to expose himself for such a reason, and Inos couldn't help but smile bitterly, "This idiot has been studying with the teacher for so long, but he hasn't learned the slightest mystery. ”

"Yes, a guy who knows a little about alchemy can't use it even if he gets the refining array, there must be other alchemists hiding behind him. Dizian withdrew her gaze from Grant and looked at the figure at the door. An exclamation followed.

"Yi, Inos, how did you become a woman?!" I saw a graceful and graceful figure wrapped in white junir at the door, with slender and white bare arms, and Inos's face was covered by a silk veil, and Di Zi'an could only glimpse the straight nose bridge and the quiet and beautiful eyes like autumn water,

"You're Inos's sister?" "It's terrifying, women's clothing boss? No, but if she had been a woman dressed as a man before, she didn't even notice it at all, because she had finished pretending to be another person with a completely different temperament and even figure.

Hearing Di Zi'an's words, Inos's bright eyes revealed a touch of undisguised shyness, she glanced at Di Zi'an, with a variety of flavors, which made Di Zi'an feel electrocuted for a while.

"Norma, you're an idiot too!" she said and walked towards Dizi An Yingying, unlike before, at this time, Enos's every move carried a kind of feminine elegance, and the delicate face under the veil was unknown, but just looking at the eyes like a clear spring, and the eyelashes that drooped like a jade curtain, I knew that the face under the veil would not disappoint.

And as Inoss approached, revealing his white feet under the hem of the Quunir's skirt, small and exquisite, crystal clear, and he swallowed his saliva when he saw it, who said that the ancients did not provoke anger when they dressed themselves? It seemed that he noticed Dizian's gaze, and Inos's white cheeks under the veil were dyed with a touch of red, and there was a flash of shame in his eyes. She looked at the charred black of Grant's chest on the stone platform,

"Is he dead?"

Di Zi'an retracted his gaze with some reluctance and shrugged his shoulders, "Yes, it's dead, the raw materials are wrong, and the refining array can't be opened." ”

"What's the real ingredient?" Inoss looked directly at Dizian with a bright smile, but the atmosphere in the workshop suddenly froze, and Dizian looked at Inoss in turn, until Inoss looked away a little shyly by him, Dizian replied,

"Mercury. ”

Inoss nodded as if surprised, "As I thought, you warned me before, right?" ”

"Yes, all-purpose solvents. "Di Zi'an once asked Inosh a thing in the workshop, about the universal solvent! And in Di Zi'an's memory, about the later generations of the Egyptian universal solvent, the so-called universal solvent is mercury!

It is liquid, but metal, which is considered the Holy Spirit and is permeable to every known metal. There is no better substance than mercury to describe a universal solvent.

And when he saw the alchemy synthesis array, Di Zi'an affirmed his inference that six symbols of the seven metals appeared on the base point of the synthesis array, except for the lack of mercury.

Coupled with the hints left by the sage, the Holy Spirit is blood, and after connecting all the clues together, Di Zi'an came up with the final answer.

"Norma, you really surprised me. After a long silence, Enos spoke again, breaking the silence, "You are a thousand times more talented than Grant, and I trust your inference. ”

Then there was a long silence, and Di Zi'an sighed, "But I'll have to verify it myself." ”

"You've really become different," Inos looked directly at Dizi for a long time, "It's a pity, I've always liked you." ”

Is this a confession? Is this a confession? Are you excited? Are you not surprised?

Excited your sister!Dizi An looked at Grant's miserable situation with some bitterness, this idiot was played with by Enos in the palm of his hand from beginning to end, maybe it was because he wanted to get rid of Enos's control that he would be stupid as the first person to try to refine the formation.

At that time, in the stone prison, Grant had told himself not to be too self-righteous, if he had been more cautious and did not tell the secret of the blood of the Holy Spirit, Enos would probably not have done anything to himself. Di Zi'an could see that the temple guards were all following the orders of Inos, not Grant.

And now, whether it is dead or alive depends on whether the sage's refining array is reliable or not.

Enos took out a quaint brass bell in his hand and shook it gently, and several guards outside the door received a summons and walked in, the first of them holding a papyrus book bound with gold thread in both hands, the cover was pitch black, and there was only a crescent-shaped symbol.

"The Book of Chatter," Dizi'an muttered to herself, no wonder, no wonder, so that everything made sense. The craftsmanship of the lines engraved on Grant's body is probably from this book left by God.

Enos took the book from the guard's hand, and gently brushed the guard's strong chest in front of Di Zi'an.

"The temple guards were formerly the Janissaries who guarded the knowledge of the gods, and the souls of these warriors were sublimated by books during the long period of protection," Inoss seemed to explain to Dizi'an, gently flipping through the book in his hand and pulling out a golden quill from it.

"The objects handed down from Hermes, the holy pen that perfectly depicts all things. ”

The two guards supported Di Zi'an on the left and right, Di Zi'an didn't resist, just watched Inoss pacing in front of him, Inoss gently stroked Di Zi'an's cheek, leaned over and put his face to Di Zi'an's ear, and his jade mouth opened slightly,

"Hold on, it might itch a little. Then starting from Shore on his shoulder, he untied the clothes on the upper body of the flute, and said that the clothes of the dizi were given by Inos.

In a few moments, there was only a short piece of Roincross left on Dizian's body, and the golden quill pen was held in Enos's hand, and he gently traced it against the sage's manuscript between the pages of the Book of Chatter.

, it's so itchy, but the two brothers behind him hold him firmly with their hands like iron locks, hey, it's really itchy...... Fortunately, Inoss didn't let Dizi'an endure it for long, and the golden quill moved strangely on its own after the first few strokes that Inoss mastered, and after a while, the refining array was engraved on Dizi'an's body.

This is an item that has been endowed with LingGe, and Dizi understands in his heart that there should be a lot of similar items in Inos, and she should have inherited the relics of the pharaoh of a certain dynasty.

Then she may also possess ancient supernatural powers, and even Di Zi'an thinks that these strange guards may also be the products of supernatural powers. The two guards then discarded Grant's body as if it were garbage, and lay down on the flute without even cleaning the blood-stained stone platform.

"At least wash it for me. Dizi endured his nausea and was pressed to lie down, and Enos said calmly, "It will be all right soon, the mercury is ready, and I sincerely wish you success." ”

"Wait, don't cut the arteries! I still have something to say," Di Zi'an tried to suppress the fear in her heart, but her teeth chattered uncontrollably, and a suffocating cold surged up from the bottom of her heart. Already feeling the chill of the blade, Di Zi'an couldn't help but shout.

Some people may wonder why the blood is cut, in fact, in ancient times, when anesthesia methods were not very mature, the operation was either violently suppressed and killed like a pig, or the bloodletting made people fall into a coma. Of course, there is a certain risk in this method, and there are famous people in history who have died in ...... Excessive blood loss.

"Say," said Inos, as if to say goodbye.

"Inos, you, why did you kill the sage?"

Enos's tone was gloomy, "Is that all there is to it?" seemed very disappointed that what Norma wanted to say to herself at the last moment turned out to be such an inconsequential thing,

"Norma, I have never endangered my teacher. With that, he left the workshop. And Di Zi'an suddenly felt a sharp pain from his legs,

Has it started......

Di Zi'an didn't look at the wound on his leg, and closed his eyes as if resigned. So the sleepiness like a tide began to engulf him, and in the middle of a dream, the sharp pain in his chest seemed to be just an illusory feeling. This clear sense that life is passing away,

Déjà vu.

It's like sinking in a deep darkness, not seeing light, not seeing hope, sinking and sinking, until the consciousness disappears in this sinking, and the spirit, exhausted, the body will die.

And mercury is infused at this moment.

The deep abyss burst out with pure white light, and on Di Zi'an's body, the tattooed seal was made, and the symbols of each tattoo on the cardinal point were lit up in turn, and the cycle was established in an instant, and the symbols of the six metals bloomed with various points of light, plus the mercury injected into the core, the seven metals converged, and the seven corresponding stars shimmered on the invisible canopy in turn.

The human spirit, soul, and body are united in this moment, the heart is assimilated, the mercury is rushing in the veins, the old skin is shedding, the new surface is condensing, the new cycle under the cortex replaces the old cycle, and the spirit resides in the body.

Refining has thus become, the promotion of mercury.
