Chapter Seventy-One: Runes
For several days in a row, Fei Caidu organized the construction team to train in the open space next to the altar.
When Iwanli was working on the altar, he also glanced at the construction team from time to time, wanting to see how the Divine Envoy trained these "warriors of the witch gods".
As a result, after watching it for a few days, he was completely confused.
On the morning of the first day, the divine messenger had everyone line up and stand straight and not move.
Although it was almost autumn, it was still hot in the Nanwu area, and everyone was already sweating after standing for less than half an hour. Gradually, some people began to want to secretly wipe a handful of sweat.
But at this moment, the divine envoy began to speak: "This is the test of your will by the witch god! Since you want to be the warrior of the witch god, can't you even overcome this difficulty? If anyone wants to give up, I suggest that you get out of the ranks as soon as possible, and now it has just begun, maybe the witch god will not punish you!"
As soon as these words came out, all the people who wanted to move suddenly straightened their backs, like a sculpture motionless, after all, no one wants to be considered a useless person by the witch god, and if the witch god gets angry and sends down divine punishment, it will be the end of a lifetime, and maybe the family will be implicated.
In this way, everyone stood upright all morning, and many people's eyes had begun to wander, but their bodies were still as straight as a stake.
At noon, the Divine Envoy finally said, "Very well! The Witch God has somewhat approved of your will! Everyone, rest in place!"
Everyone immediately collapsed to the ground, but many of them had a hint of pride in their tired expressions, because they had finally been approved by the witch god.
At this moment, the elder brought lunch with a few people. As soon as Yan Li saw the white rice, he knew that it was the divine rice given by the witch god, and he had been eating it for the past few months, and it was much better than the rice he had grown in the village.
Everyone in the construction team stood all morning, their stomachs were already grumbling with hunger, and when they saw that the lunch was actually the food rewarded by the witch god, they immediately cheered, and they all took bowls and ate them, and they saw that Yanli was hungry.
Why don't I also ask the Divine Envoy to become a warrior of the Witch God?"
In the afternoon, the construction team began to stand motionless under the sun again until the sun had completely set, and the gods allowed them to rest.
The next morning, they were still standing still the same as the day before.
The next afternoon, as always.
The third day was the same as the previous two days......
Yan Li couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, he didn't expect the test of the witch god to be so long, I don't know how long it will take to pass the test, a week, a month, is it a year?!
However, he also found that at the beginning, these people were still a little reluctant. But now, it seems that it is not difficult for them to stand all morning, and some of them sweat from their foreheads to their eyes, and as a result, they don't even blink their eyes.
Day 4.
Just when Yan Li thought that it would be the same as the previous three days, he heard the divine envoy say, "Yes, after these three days, the witch god has reluctantly approved your will! But the more difficult test is still to come, if anyone wants to quit, it is still too late! I can beg the witch god not to punish him!"
"Is anyone going to quit?" the oracle asked aloud.
No one spoke, everyone stood up straight, as motionless as sculptures.
"Very well!" the Divine Envoy finally smiled. "Now let's start the next test: walk in unison, I'll demonstrate first. ”
Next, Yan Li saw that the divine envoy asked everyone to line up with ten people, walking back and forth in a very neat pace.
All day that day, the construction team had been doing this, and although it seemed to Yan Li that they had walked quite neatly, the divine envoy still asked everyone to repeat it over and over again.
In the days that followed, the oracle told the people to either walk or run in order, interspersed with some relatively simple things, such as reporting numbers one after another......
Before you know it, a week has passed.
Yanli had carved three oracles, and now only the last one remained.
According to the shrine maiden, this oracle is the "oracle of gravity" of the great witch god, and it is also the longest of the four.
Every time he carved an oracle on a stone pillar, he read it proficiently and then engraved it so as not to make mistakes, and this last one, of course, was no exception.
"Any two particles are attracted to each other by a force in the direction of the concentric line......"
Yan Li repeated these awkward words with great difficulty, the oracle was so profound and subtle that he knew that it was impossible for him to understand the contents of them as an ordinary person, so he only wanted to memorize them by rote, and it was better to write them all down and engrave them on the stone pillars word for word.
"Any two particles are attracted to each other by a force in the direction of the concentric line......"
After repeating it I don't know how many times, he memorized a few words of unknown meaning, and then he picked up the steel drill and hammer and began to carve words on the stone pillar.
"Any two particles are attracted to each other by a force in the direction of the concentric line......"
While carving, Yan Li unconsciously repeated these words in his mouth.
Before he knew it, he had figured out a little why.
Force, attraction, concentric ......
The meaning of these words is the most straightforward, and it is also the first to be understood.
Particle......
Substance means substance, and the word may refer to tangible and physical matter, right?
So the quality ......
For example, a large stone has a large mass, and a small stone has a small mass?
What about positive and inverse proportionality?
Positive and negative, the two are definitely a pair of opposite relationships.
The oracle says that "the magnitude of this gravitational force is proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of their distance", where "gravitational force" must refer to the force of attraction, does this mean that the attraction of large stones is stronger than that of small stones, but if the distance between two stones becomes farther away, the attraction will be weakened?
Unconsciously, Yan Li actually guessed the meaning of the law of gravitation alone, but he himself didn't realize how powerful this was, but the more he pondered it, the more he felt that this oracle was infinitely mysterious.
But what is the attraction between stones, and why can't we feel it at all?
No, it's not!
The divine power that Miko-sama displayed on the altar that day......
He suddenly remembered the mysterious movement that the shrine maiden had made the small ball revolve around the big ball on the day of the sacrifice. It was as if there was an invisible rope tied between two stone balls.
Is that what the oracle calls gravity? Is it because it is the power of the witch god, and only those who have received the gift of the witch god can feel it and use it?
The more Yan Li thought about it, the more excited he became, this oracle seemed to open a door to a new world, and before he knew it, his head was already full of the contents of that oracle, and as for the work in his hands, he was already operating it completely unconsciously......
It seemed that it had been a long time before Yan Li suddenly came back to his senses, and when his gaze returned to the stone pillar, he couldn't help but let out a miserable scream.
"Ah!!h
The oracle on the stone pillar was broken after only carving the first few words, and below those words, he carved an extremely strange symbol at some point!
It's over, it's over! I carved the oracle, this is a great disrespect to the witch god! Don't talk about the witch god now, the divine envoy will definitely not let me go!
Yan Li's eyes darkened, and his heart was suddenly full of panic and despair, he wanted to stand up, but his legs kept shaking, and he couldn't use his strength.
But at this moment, the strange rune he carved suddenly lit up, and then extinguished in an instant, and a strange spatial oscillation spread rapidly around it.
Fei Cai, who was training the construction team, sensed something first, and he turned his head suddenly, his face full of surprise.
In the small stone building in the distance, Biluo, who was writing the doctrine, also suddenly raised his head in surprise and looked in the direction of the altar.
At this moment, neither Yan Li, Biluo, nor Fei Cai knew that a long-lost secret in the Wu Clan was being revealed to them......
