Chapter 12: The Flower of Sin (2)
It can't be put off any longer!
Tang Xuan's left hand was forceful, and he pulled it back fiercely, and the peachwood sword in his right hand immediately stabbed past the head of the pink pajamas.
Scream!
With a high-pitched, short scream, the pink pajamas dissipated into flames and flying ashes......
Congratulations to player 10637 for completing the side quest and obtaining special reward items: Flower of Sin*1 (story item, cannot be brought out of the game script), C-level self-selected treasure chest*1 (can be opened after the game ends), game currency*1000.
The system prompt sounded suddenly, waking up Wang Ling, who was still a little stunned.
The melon-eating crowd around had already run away in the previous struggle with the curse, and the mountain gate was empty and silent at this moment.
"Are you alright?" Wang Ling stepped forward quickly and supported Tang Xuan, who was obviously a little out of strength.
Facing Wang Ling's concerned gaze, Tang Xuan waved his hand and muttered, "It's okay this time, it's just a little out of strength, maybe my body has adapted to the state just now." ”
Although there was still a slight ache in his body, it was too much stronger than the hellish pain he had for the first time. Gasping for breath, Tang Xuan looked down at his left hand.
When I was wearing the pink pajamas just now, the feeling that suddenly appeared as if I was holding - I can really grasp it, is it the effect of this copper coin?
But he soon dismissed this conjecture. The Copper Coin has been proven to be effective when it triggers just now—it blocks weird critical attacks and has some damage reflection. And if it was really the copper coin that allowed him to touch the strange body, then he would not have been affected by the blurring of pink pajamas from the beginning.
Therefore, there is only one truth, remembering the gray light on Fang Cai's arm.
"Is there something happening in my body?" Tang Xuan began to close his eyes and recall everything that had happened since he came to this temple.
It should be that after the "seed" exploded when he entered the mountain gate, something was different in his body. It's just that the pain that was more terrifying than death was slightly recalled, and Tang Xuan couldn't help but shiver all over.
Well, try again.
With the feeling in his memory, Tang Xuan quickly noticed that something was different, there was indeed something more in his body—it was a kind of spiritual Qi, which seemed to be running irregularly in his body at the moment, but it seemed to follow a certain trajectory.
Qi is created out of nothing, and ideas are embodied into torrents.
Walking to the mountain gate and sitting cross-legged, Tang Xuan concentrated all his thoughts into his body.
Finally, "see". Under the inner vision of his mind, Tang Xuan seemed to "see" that a large and outer, small and inward space suddenly appeared in the three areas of his body: abdomen, chest, and head. This is an extremely mysterious feeling, and it can't even be directly described through words, but if he had to describe it, Tang Xuan could only think of one word, and that was a concept in the Taoist book: Xuanyi Yiyi!
At this time, these three spaces in one's body are like three "tripods", and the mind is from top to bottom, and the manic aura drawn from the outside world gathers in the chest from the bottom up to form this special "Qi".
As soon as his mind moved, Tang Xuan controlled a small stream of Qi to converge along his arm to the palm of his hand. Then, with a movement of his mind, the Qi turned into a chaotic and manic aura and exploded. A transparent air mass appeared in the palm of his hand visible to the naked eye, and then burst open with a soft "pop", stirring up a few wisps of breeze in the air.
"You've got it...... Superpowers? Oh my God, this is the Spiral Pill in Naruto? Wang Ling looked at the air mass in Tang Xuan's palm with some confusion, covered her mouth and exclaimed.
"Sort of...... A blessing in disguise. Tang Xuan smiled bitterly and acquiesced, "But I feel that this should be more like the Qi cultivation ...... often mentioned in those cultivation novels on the Internet."
As he spoke, Tang Xuan slowly told Wang Ling his feelings about Qi.
After hearing this, a smile of surprise appeared on Wang Ling's face, and then she said half-jokingly: "So, it seems to be very powerful, and with your strength just now, then we can finally stop worrying about the threat of curses, you have to protect me." ”
"Alas~ It's a pity that I haven't fully mastered this power yet."
"Just now?"
"I can't describe that state just now, how can I say it...... When I get into that state, I feel a sense of familiarity with Qi that I've been exposed to for a long time, and this feeling is similar to muscle memory...... Well, that sounds a bit outrageous, but that's exactly what happened. It's a pity that I can't maintain that state for too long, and once I recover, the control of Qi will change back to the current state that is extremely strange and difficult to schedule. I guess it's because of the excitement of the ghost or the explosion of urgency. No matter what, we're definitely going to survive! ”
After sighing, Tang Xuan clenched his fists tightly.
I didn't dare to say anything, but the dark clouds that had been pressing on the heads of the two for two days finally dispersed at this moment.
Whether it was the peachwood sword and copper coins obtained from the temple, or this special ability, Qi, it gave the two of them hope to live.
Letting go of his fist, a rare smile appeared on Tang Xuan's tense face: "Let's take a look at the harvest this time." ”
As he spoke, Tang Xuan pressed his mobile phone and projected the system prompt he had received earlier into a light curtain in front of him for Wang Ling to watch together.
The two quickly swept over the 1,000 game coins and the C-level treasure chest that could only be opened after the game ended, and locked on the "Flower of Sin" labeled as a plot item.
Glancing at each other, Wang Ling nodded, and Tang Xuan stretched out his finger and pointed it.
Do you want to turn on story items? (Note: This item will cause the user to fall into a temporary state of unconsciousness when opened, so players are advised to use it with caution.) )
YES? NO?
After the "hell" turmoil just now, there was no one who had fled near the mountain gate at this time. After thinking about it for a while, Tang Xuan chose YSE without hesitation.
White light flashed.
A flower made entirely of human fingernails appeared in front of the two of them, and the nail petals rubbed and swirled, making a sizzling and screeching sound.
"Hey, hey, you want to know...... My secret? A gloomy voice rang out.
"This is Mowen's voice!" Wang Ling exclaimed.
"It's the pink pajamas?" Tang Xuan didn't reply.
However, before Wang Ling could answer, the next second, the eyes of the two went dark and entered a dark space.
Syllable! After a soft sound, the world lit up.
Pink wallpaper is plastered with posters of various celebrities, plush toys are piled up on the beds of the upper and lower table structures, and several hanging chairs in the style of dormitory artifacts hang from the beds in front of the tables.
"It's ...... My real-world dorm! Wang Ling rushed up and said.
However, as she rushed over to rub the sling chair hanging under the bed, her hand went straight through the rope that hung the sling.
Tang Xuan walked up to her: "Calm down, this is not the real world, do you remember the scene in the curse?" ”
"Fantasy world?" Wang Ling shivered.
"That's right, our body is still behind the mountain gate, and now it should only be our consciousness that has entered here, and the reason why we entered here is because we used that sin flower, not because we ate the skill of the curse in front of us, so there should be no danger for the time being. I suspect it's a hint the game wants to give us, a secret about that pink pajama to know. ”
Click!
As soon as Tang Xuan's words fell, the sound of the key poking into the door lock sounded at the next moment. Tang Xuan subconsciously pulled Wang Ling to hide in the corner on the side.
The door opened, and sure enough, it was pink pajamas, but she was still wearing her normal school uniform at this time. The door to her dorm room closed, with a rustling sound and her clothes falling to the sling chair, she changed into the pink pajamas she had worn when she entered the game, walked to the table on the other side and turned on the computer on the table.
"Could this be the timeline before you enter the game?"
Wang Ling shook her head: "It's not clear, let's see." Wait, that's not her computer! ”
Tang Xuan: "Li Panxia's? ”
Wang Ling nodded, and then said in surprise: "How do you know?" That's right, that's Li Panxia's computer. ”
"If my guess is correct, this is the secret that the Flower of Sin wants to tell us, and you will enter the truth of this game."
