Chapter 23 Forbidden Techniques
Taboos are called taboos because mortals cannot afford to break them. Those who wish to move forward lose their motivation, those who desire to embrace lose their bodies, those who seek reunion are separated by life and death, those who chase light cannot see, and those who intend to match the sun will fall into the abyss forever. - "Alchemy Key Guide"
Can man become a god? It is not without precedent in myths and legends, such as the myths and legends of the Celestial Empire, there are no lack of examples of mortals practicing and becoming immortals, Norse mythology is brave and good at fighting and returning to Valhalla after death, becoming a heroic spirit who guards the throne of the world, and is almost a demigod and half human, and the example of promotion through alchemy, also exists.
The master of the "Jade Record", the threefold great Hermes, was a human being, but he was elevated to the status of a god, and even compatible with the Egyptian god Thoth and the Greek concept of Mercury, perhaps this is the ultimate promotion of alchemy, or perhaps there was indeed a great master named Hermes in history who combined alchemy, divination and supernatural powers, but when he was regarded as a trinity with the ancient god of wisdom Thoth and the god of travel Mercury, he became him.
"Grant, you have a delusional desire to become a god...... "Di Zi'an said softly, feeling unworthy that a great alchemist should be killed for such a ridiculous reason,
"Why can't I become a god!" a mad and sickly smile appeared on Grant's face, "As long as the alchemy matrix is implanted, the spirit can live forever in the body and achieve eternal life! ”
Sure enough, he got it. Dizi was thinking about it in peace, and Grant suddenly pounced and pushed him against the wall, "Are you crazy?" Dizian wanted to slap him hard, but when he saw Grant's current appearance, he felt a chill in his heart, something was not right.
"Tell me, tell me, tell me, how can I use that array!" Grant's face was as hideous as a demon, his eyes were red, his facial features were distorted, and Di Zi'an thought of a word for no reason, ghost upper body!
"I can help you, but you have to get me out of here first," Di Zi'an pondered, "I found the message left by the sage, I guess you also know my alchemy level, I can help you complete the human body refining!"
Grundy gasped violently, "Don't play any tricks on me, go." He let go of Di Zi'an, tidied up his clothes slightly, and motioned for Di Zi'an to follow him. The two guards saw this, and did not say a word, but left the deep stone prison with the two of them.
The human body is refined into a formation, an absolute taboo technique.
Dizi Ann spent two days in the foul-smelling stone prison, and before he could wash and rest, he was taken to the old alchemy workshop of the sage, which had been changed beyond recognition, and countless precious instruments were discarded in the corner, and the most central area was pieced together a stone platform large enough for one person to lie down, and on the stone platform was depicted with phosphor.
Its outer side is an absolute standard circle, with the hexagon supporting the circle, and the inner circle supporting the hexagon. Di Zi'an was stuffing a piece of cottage cheese in his mouth at this time, but he couldn't take his eyes off the refining array on the stone platform: circle and hexagon, balance and symmetry, the unity of nature and perfection.
Six symbols converge on it, in six different colors. They are all symbols representing metals, and on the outside of their symbols, they are surrounded by symbols representing stars. Each apex corner of the hexagon rays diagonally, while an inverted triangle is outlined and emerges inside the hexagon.
The inverted triangle, does this refer to disobedience to the gods? Di Zi'an memorized in his mind this alchemy array, which can be said to represent the highest level of alchemy to a certain extent, including the position of the six symbols in the array, gold, silver, copper, iron, lead, and tin, which are distributed at the six vertices of the hexagram.
So where is the human element embodied? Within the inverted triangle there is a new circle, and where the circle overlaps with the three midpoints of the inverted triangle, there are three new symbols. They represent the body, the soul, and the spirit. In the sage's marking, even each ray has its own meaning.
And this array is far more than that, it is to be engraved on the body, and the human body is not a flat slate or papyrus, and each corresponding human body's acupuncture points in it can not be the slightest mistake, therefore, the refining array engraved on the human body varies from person to person, and the sage is used on the side
This is the miracle depicted by the sage, refining the spiritual body into one refining array. Unfortunately, Susimos was not able to see it in action, or Susimos, out of fear of the gods, did not transgress the boundaries of man after mastering this forbidden technique.
At this time, Grant was naked, and dark lines could be seen on his body, converging at the acupuncture points, transposing in the heart and lungs, and reproducing a complete circle on the human body, those lines penetrated deep into the skin, as if emerging from the depths of the body, Di Zi'an rolled his eyes, the first thing to try to refine the formation was actually this thing, but it also gave Di Zi'an an more eyes, and he could draw the refining array so perfectly on people, which required a process that is not something that ordinary people can do through practice.
Even after mastering the human body refining array, Grant had no way to run it, because he didn't know what the raw materials for running the refining array were. But Di Zi'an received the last enlightenment from the sage, maybe the sage himself didn't want this technique to be lost, or for some other reason, the sage left the key to open the refining array in the stone prison, and finally Di Zi'an obtained it.
"Yes, the Holy Spirit is blood...... "Dizi'an muttered, the Holy Spirit, in alchemy it refers to gas, gas is blood? What kind of gas is blood?
Coincidentally, there happened to be two substances that served as gases throughout the history of alchemy in Greece-Egypt: sulfur and mercury. Needless to say, mercury is not so much regarded as a denser substance, but as a gas, and the second is sulfur, and the reason why sulfur is a gas is because it can be sublimated, and limited by technology and vision, alchemists regarded arsenic sulfide and arsenic as sulfur...... This is Dezian's interpretation of the blood of the Holy Spirit,
After Grant took him out of the stone prison, Di Zi'an omitted some of it and informed Grant of the rest, so Grant immediately used his power to start buying raw materials throughout the city, including sulfur, arsenic sulfide and other raw materials. Even he couldn't wait for someone to tattoo him into a refining array, and under Di Zi'an's attention, he approached the top of his fantasy life step by step.
Egypt's alchemy is the final promotion of immortality, because ancient Egypt attached great importance to the treatment of the world after death, so their corpse embalming project is very good, so those pharaoh's mummies can last for thousands of years without decay, and since the physical body can exist forever, as long as the spirit and the body can be refined into one through the alchemy ceremony, can't you get real eternal life like a god?
This is the theoretical basis, the so-called stone of the philosopher, that is, the product of the unity of the body, spirit and soul.
"Norma, are you really sure that the Holy Spirit means sulfur?" asked Grant, lying on the stone platform, as if to be sure again, and Dizi replied lazily beside him, "I'm pretty sure, didn't I say it, and if anything goes wrong, let the guards kill me first." As he spoke, he looked at the silent muscular brother in the workshop.
"Very well, as long as I become a god, as long as I become a god, I will not be guilty of your offense before!" Grant licked his lips, as if he couldn't wait, and on the stone platform on the side, countless instruments were in operation, melting the sulfur into a hot liquid, a special stench volatilized in the air, and those hot liquids gathered in the clay pot, and the flute watched all this,
"It's time to go!" Grant commanded.
I saw that one of the guards guarding Grant raised his knife and slashed at Grant's thigh, completely ignoring that Grant was the one who gave orders to him, Grant wailed, but quickly gritted his teeth, "Here it begins! This ritual of becoming a god!" But in Di Zi'an's strange gaze, the guard directly cut the artery in his thigh, and blood gushed out from the opening, and soon stained the entire stone platform red, almost in the blink of an eye, Grant lost consciousness, and could even be said to be dying,
Then, the guard who opened the knife fell on his chest, and a bare heart could be seen from the opening, which was the center of the human body refining array, Di Zi'an's eyes flickered, and the lines on Grant's body appeared deeper under the impregnation of blood, how did this be drawn?
At the same time, another guard was not afraid of being burned, picked up the clay pot full of hot sulfur liquid, and poured it down on the wound on Grant's chest.
Grant, on the other hand, was no longer human, and his chest was charred and blackened, with a strange smell of flesh.
Dizian stuck out her tongue, "It's miserable, idiot." The guards around him did not make any moves, and Di Zi'an sighed, "How long are you going to hide?"
"My dear Enos. ”
