Chapter 37: Golden Light Cave
Then, another teenager went up to the high platform. When the young man also put his hand on the Yuan Stone, only a moment later, he saw a cyan light suddenly shoot out from the Qi Yuan Stone, instantly enveloping the young man in it, and the young man's face showed a look of pain.
This is slightly different from the scene when Li Ding said that he was carrying out the Qiyuan ceremony in Feiyuan Pavilion, which couldn't help but make Li Ding extremely surprised.
Suddenly, there was another black flash on the Qiyuan Stone, and a trace of bright cyan gas glowed with fluorescence, and it strangely emerged from the white stone plate below, surrounding the Qiyuan Stone all the way up, and when it rose to the position of the young palm, it suddenly drilled into the palm of the young man. Suddenly, the young man's whole body was shocked, and he was ejected like an electric shock for more than a kilometer, and when he stabilized his body and stood for a while, he was already sweating profusely.
"Is this the successful Qiyuan?" Li Ding thought with some doubts, he didn't know what kind of scene he was like when he said that he was Qiyuan, because he really almost fell asleep at that time.
"Zhao Qing, the results of the Yuan test, the top grade wind belongs to the surname Yuanqi, and he enters the Eight Gods Temple. As soon as He Daren's words came out, Qiu Zhengyi and the others sitting in the front row nodded slightly, and the audience suddenly burst into warm applause.
Looking at the young man again, although he seemed to be a little physically exhausted, he was also happy, and when he jumped off the stage, he was surrounded by a group of people and asked questions. Among them, Yu Lao was particularly happy, because this young man named Zhao Qing was from the Qing clan, and he had a relationship with Li Ding in the small courtyard where the Qing clan lived.
Here, Li Ding was puzzled in his heart: "Measuring Yuan, isn't it Qiyuan? Could it be that Zhao Qing has already succeeded in Qiyuan." Thinking of hearing some words before, Li Ding immediately understood that many of these teenagers and girls should have already started the Yuan.
Around, some whispers kept coming.
"Ha, this kid is really good, high-grade vitality, I don't know what about the next one?"
"If you don't see it, you will know, don't be like the first one. ”
"The first little guy is indeed a little unlucky, but you haven't tried it and don't know, let me tell you, if the power of the bloodline is too weak, the vitality transformed by the Qiyuan Stone will be very comfortable when it flows in the body, it feels like ...... Hehe, let's not talk about it, let's keep watching. ”
"Hehe, haven't you tried it yourself, you won't be like that kid...... Wrong...... You see that this kid who just went up is worse than the first one, hehe, that face, is it so cool?"
"Cut, fate is like this, no wonder anyone, but having the opportunity to participate in Qiyuan is already a creation. ”
Listening to the conversation of the adults beside him, Li Ding looked up and saw that there was a young man on the high platform, who also put his hand on the Qiyuan Stone, but he did not have the kind of vision that appeared on Zhao Qing before, at this time he was tired, and his eyes were closed to show a very satisfied and comfortable expression.
The conversation of others even broke Li Ding's doubts, and the comfortable feeling he experienced should also be due to this reason.
Seeing this, hearing this, although this celebration had just begun, Li Ding's heart rose and he didn't want to look at it anymore. Looking at the people around him who showed a happy appearance, and there were also those who bowed their heads sadly and were silent, Li Ding suddenly wanted to be quiet. Although it was not easy to squeeze forward, but it was okay to squeeze backwards, and it was difficult to squeeze through the crowd, Li Ding walked slowly towards the bottom of the mountain.
The noisy ridicule gradually became blurred as the distance increased, and he went down the long staircase, and before he knew it, Li Ding came to the Golden Light Cave halfway up the mountain.
Jinguang Cave is a large karst cave with several hot springs and clear spring water. There are several small holes in the cave, which are usually natural places for disciples to bathe.
Here, Li Ding has been here a few times, but every time he comes to take a hot spring bath with Chen Yu and them. Usually, there are quite a lot of people here, but today they may all go to see the excitement, and the spacious Jinguang Cave looks particularly deserted.
In the heat, Li Ding sat quietly on the edge of the pool. The crystal clear pool water bubbled up from time to time, and the faint smell of sulfur filled the air, paddling the water surface a few times, and when the consciousness in his mind began to slowly fade in such an environment, Li Ding suddenly heard something.
"Click......" A sound as subtle as a rat's cry suddenly came from overhead, and in a thrilling spirit, Li Ding felt as if he had heard such a sound somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
Looking up, I saw nothing on the roof of the cave except for protruding stones and tapered stalactites, and it was impossible for a mouse to run on the roof of the cave.
There will be water droplets on the stalactites that will continue to drip downward, which is cold and cold, and the hot springs below are like ice and fire. Although the strange sound was weird, maybe it was just the sound of dripping, Li Ding shook his head and couldn't help but chuckle.
Since being rescued, Li Ding has been learning to make himself strong, from the sea to Sea Cliff Town, and then to Jinguangmen, but during this period of time, Li Ding has understood that this is a world where the strong are respected.
The hateful pirates who kill people indiscriminately, Yu Xiong, the patriarch of the Qing clan who faces the enemy, or Ye Xinyi, who is strong in front of his peers, no matter whether their purpose is evil or good, their domineering is definitely based on stronger strength than the other party.
Now Li Ding has lost the qualification to become a strong man, and becoming a pharmacist is just his helpless struggle against the injustice of fate. Maybe being an ordinary person will also live happily, but is this really the life Li Ding wants?
Jinguangmen was immersed in a celebratory atmosphere at this time, but just like those teenagers and girls who could not be chosen, perhaps with the end of the door celebration, that is, when Li Ding left. But he felt that he hadn't been able to learn what he needed from Huayang, and the more he read those medical books and pharmacopoeia, the more Li Ding understood that it was not so simple to become a pharmacist, and the things to be mastered were not like Lin Xiao They said that it was enough to just look through a few medical books, and that also required a lot of knowledge.
You can't do alchemy, but you have to know some about ordinary pills, which will be very helpful for medical skills. And Li Ding still knows too little about these, let alone treating people, because until now, the process of how to treat people is still only in books. Without practice, everything is just empty talk.
It can't be said that Li Ding has a calm and heartfelt surname that is completely inconsistent with his age, which is one of the reasons why Yu Lao thought so highly of him at the beginning. In just a short while, he has already sorted out his experience during this time, but for the future, no matter how strong he is, he feels a sense of powerlessness.
This world is too big, and for this world, Li Ding definitely can't predict his future.
"Twitter......"
Suddenly, another strange sound rang in my ears. Li Ding, who was immersed in his memories, didn't have time to hear where the sound came from, when he suddenly felt a flash of red light in front of him, and the whole person was squeezed violently, and a strong tingling sensation spread to every corner of his body.
With a "goo", like the sound of food swallowing, Li Ding felt that his numb body was falling down quickly, and then there was another bang, and it fell into some kind of liquid.
The thick liquid is warm and has a lot of resistance, but fortunately it is not very deep, just up to the waist. The previous strong light stimulation made the eyes unable to understand the surrounding situation for a while, Li Ding was wondering if he had fallen into the hot spring, and a sour pungent smell swept in, making Li Ding almost nauseous.
When his vision gradually returned to clarity, the scene that caught his eye made Li Ding almost scream, but his throat tightened, and he suppressed the scream alive.
It was a small, circular space filled with green fluorescence, surrounded by something like a flesh bud that was wriggling, and the thin granulation of an arm was covered with tiny tubes like blood vessels, and something could be clearly seen flowing through the staggered red pipes. The green fluorescence came from the pool of thick liquid under Li Ding's body, the emerald green liquid kept bubbling, and as the translucent bubbles burst, a touch of green fluorescence would be emitted, accompanied by a pungent sour gas.
Such a strange place did not appear even in Li Ding's nightmare, and the strong sensory stimulation had made his whole body stiff, and his chest was compressed to the point that he could not breathe. As the tingling sensation on the body gradually disappeared, the warm feeling before began to slowly penetrate into the skin, faintly as if something was squirming into the body. Looking at the squirming disgusting flesh buds around me, this feeling on my body almost makes people collapse.
Gradually, that warm and deep feeling reached the person's internal organs, but in an instant, it turned into a stinging feeling, like countless needles piercing the person's body at the same time.
"Ah......h
With his eyes wide open, Li Ding finally let out a miserable cry. As if in response to Li Ding's screams, the emerald green liquid began to churn violently, and the flesh buds around the small space also wriggled even more. When the liquid was turning, two things were also stirred, and under closer inspection, there were two corpses with broken clothes and festering skin, and the white bones of Sen Sen appeared from the festering place, which was shocking.
In an instant, Li Ding seemed to understand something, and the feeling of oppression in his chest intensified violently, as if an invisible hand was dragging his heart.
His eyes gradually began to drift, and his consciousness slowly became blurred, and under the increasingly strong stinging sensation, Li Ding's whole person withered.
The violently churning green liquid instantly swallowed the emaciated figure, and just as Li Ding's body was completely submerged in the green liquid, a powerful explosive sound suddenly came from his body. Suddenly, a blood-red light flashed in the green fluorescence that filled the small space.
"Boom ......"
Inside the Golden Light Cave, there was a sudden low sound of vibration, but except for a few ripples in the hot springs, everything quickly calmed down.
