142. The One and Me

Chu Zihang slowly opened his eyes, and there was pure white in front of him, everything was like a lake.

He didn't believe in God, and naturally he didn't believe in heaven, but the face he came over was pure and flawless, dyed with a warm light, like an angel bowing his head and kissing a sinner's forehead.

For a moment he was in a daze, trying to lean forward, trying to see the face.

He smelled the warm, moist scent of angels, with the fragrance of plant leaves after the rain.

Just as he was about to put his whole face up, a sinister voice sounded from the side: "Senior brother, did you just wake up and play hooligan?" ”

Chu Zihang's movements were fixed, and the vision in front of him gradually became clearer.

He was lying in a nursing ward, the sun shining through the white curtains, and his whole body was densely bandaged, making him look like a mummy yin who had just been unearthed.

"Natsumi?"

"That's right! Not an angel sister. ”

Xia Mi was like a roundworm in his stomach, and he broke Chu Zihang's heart with one sentence.

Gu Bei, who was sitting on the other side of the hospital bed, pouted: "I said that I don't need to be sent to the hospital, just rely on my medical skills, not to mention a simple overdraft, even if my head falls out ......."

Natsumi looked at him: "The head has fallen ......"

Gu Bei spread his hands: "Then it's really hopeless." ”

Natsumi gave him a roll of the eyes.

Gu Bei was unconvinced, patting the bandages wrapped around his chest, and screaming: "What's wrong, what's wrong, who do you think I am, I'm the heir of Jishitang's contemporary family lineage, the heir of the technique of hanging pots, don't take a barefoot doctor as a doctor, although you can't save the U-turn, but the heart arrest can still be saved." And isn't there nothing wrong with Senior Brother? It's not as bad as I am. Senior sister, your dead husband-like expression is blind, hey, senior brother is not dead. ”

So your standard for defining everything is that you don't die?

Xia Mi no longer paid attention to this guy who was running the train with his mouth full, although both of them were off the line, but her level was simply unattainable in front of Gu Bei.

"Not dead?"

Chu Zihang then remembered that he seemed to have fainted, trying to move his limbs, except for the stinging pain in the brain and the pervasive soreness, all the organs and bones were intact, but there was no way to move.

As it should be, he wasn't hurt himself.

After the whole battle, Gu Bei was the only one who ate Odin, and he was the most injured.

However, this kind of injury is no different from a broken finger in front of Gu Bei's Liuku Immortal Thief.

"Headache? Body pain? ”

Gu Bei grinned and picked up one of Chu Zihang's arms, then let go of his hand, and the arm slammed on the bed, but Chu Zihang didn't feel anything.

Gu Beidan: "The pain is right, and this kind of pain will make you completely lose control of your body." ”

"Tell you not to use Qi casually, not only did you use it, but you also developed a deadly move like Black Flame."

"The consumption of Qi by that thing is not something that ordinary people can bear at all, it is completely using Qi as fuel, it will automatically squeeze the vitality of the cells and convert it into Qi for combustion after the Qi in your body is consumed."

"To put it simply, this fire will not only burn the lives of your enemies, but also your own."

"I've checked for you, you've been in this state for at least half a month, and it seems that I'll have to find a way to transport you over in a few days."

Fortune...... How do you feel like you're not talking about me, but about a dispensable courier?

Chu Zihang was speechless for a while, and after a while, he wanted to nod but found that he couldn't control his head at all, so he could only open his mouth: "Thank you." ”

"No thanks, but if you can still listen to me, then be careful when using that fire in the future, don't burn yourself."

Gu Bei admonished.

He did not persuade Chu Zihang to give up Black Flame, for those who pursue power, any power that can be mastered cannot be given up, and people with firm beliefs like Chu Zihang are the best among them.

Since you can't give up, you can only use it carefully and don't be consumed by the fire of vengeance before you reach your goal.

After explaining the doctor's instructions, Gu Bei's eyes shook back and forth between Chu Zihang and Xia Mi, and then patted his ass and stood up from his position: "Okay, the boss has been attacked, everyone is alive, my role is finished, now should be the time for the hero and heroine to reveal their hearts and kiss at the end of the scene...... It's time for someone to step aside......"

Gu Bei kept leaving the ward with his feet while chattering, until the closed door of the ward cut off his voice.

Only Chu Zihang and Xia Mi were left in the room.

The atmosphere cooled down all at once.

To be honest, if this is a drama or a movie, then as Gu Bei said, the two protagonists should have experienced a series of stories and setbacks, deeply realized the importance of each other in each other's hearts, and also determined each other's status in their hearts, and then crossed the racial barrier and successfully came together.

Of course, this routine is limited to love stories between different races, and forbidden love within the same race is more likely to develop into a butterfly or a story of life and death.

But unfortunately, this is neither a drama nor a movie, this is ...... Ahh

There is an irresolvable personal feud between dragons and humans, although no one knows the origin of this hatred.

From the perspective of human beings, dragons are cruel, murderous, and have strange powers, which are likely to cause the end of the world, so we are not simply slaughtering dragons because of hatred, but more because of great (benefit) righteousness (benefit).

Well, very human-style rhetoric.

But from the perspective of dragons?

Dragons, as the overlords of this world, suddenly betrayed one day by the race they had always regarded as ants, and then they learned that there is another race in this world called "humans".

The humans slew their supreme king, plunged his sons into an endless sleep, and then exterminated the rest of their people.

Humans say it's to protect the world, but until the end, dragons don't know what they've done to the world.

Perhaps it was not because of what they did to the "world", but what they did to "humanity" that caused humanity to betray.

As for what the truth is, it doesn't matter, inter-ethnic wars don't need much reason, and they don't need so-called justice.

The only thing needed is victory.

And the half-breed is the sword necessary to win this war against dragons.

Perhaps the half-breeds didn't know why they were created in the first place, but they were told that it was their mission to slay dragons, and they passed it down from generation to generation.

But what about the meaning of the existence of the hybrids themselves?

This life, which combines all the strengths and weaknesses of humans and dragons, has been forged as a knife from the beginning.

And this knife rushed at the dragon's neck.

If humans and dragons are rivals, then hybrids and dragons are pure mortal enemies.

The kind that never dies.

Because although the half-breeds have two kinds of blood flowing in their bodies, their "intellectuality" belongs to humans, and the "intellectuality" belongs to dragons, and they have all degenerated into Deadpool.

Now if Chu Zihang wants to be with Xia Mi while knowing that Xia Mi is the Dragon King, once this kind of behavior leaks out, the half-breed will directly define him as a degenerate species, divide him into Deadpool, and kill him.

And for Xia Mi, falling in love with a half-breed is equivalent to completely giving up the identity of the king of the earth and the mountain.

As far as Xia Mi's strength is concerned, once this matter is leaked, then even if he doesn't need other dragon kings to make a move, he will attract a lot of secondary or even third generation species that covet the blood of the dragon king in a short period of time.

They will not be hindered by the influence of their identity, a primordial breed who has abandoned the identity of the dragon king is just food for them to purify their blood.

At that time, not only Xia Mi himself will be in trouble, but even Fenrir and Chu Zihang and the others around them will also be in danger.

This is also the reason why, even if two people have a good impression of each other and know the roots, they still maintain a layer of window paper.

For one person and one dragon, as long as this layer of window paper is not pierced, the two of them can always be together like this.

Chu Zihang's idea was that after Gu Bei's experiment was successful, he would have a showdown with Xia Mi, and then give Xia Mi a half-breed body, as for the dragon king body left, Xia Mi would keep it if he wanted to, and give it to Gu Bei if he didn't want to stay.

I heard that this product always wants to find a body for Norton, and the soul of the dragon king matches the body of the dragon king, which is quite compatible in a sense...... Probably.

But it didn't come to pass, the plan couldn't catch up with the changes, and before Gu Bei started, he made such a moth as Odin, and directly tore the middle layer of paper to pieces, so that one person and one dragon had to be open and honest in advance.

There was one more reason to kill Odin.

That being said, now is not the time to think about how to kill Odin.

One person and one dragon were silent, waiting for the other party to speak first.

Xia Mi's reserve comes from the girl's heart that she doesn't know where she came from, probably because she has acted too much, so she naturally enters the play, and now although she is the dragon king, she is just a little girl at heart.

And Chu Zihang's silence has to be said, because ......

He had a piece of wood, and he didn't know what to say.

The devil knows why an iron tree that has not bloomed for a thousand years would be planted on a piece of rotten wood, but it can only be said that this world is too wonderful.

Outside the window is the heavy rain like a dark night, the rain flows wildly, the battle between the dragon kings has ushered in a heavy rain that is rare in a hundred years, from last night to this afternoon Chu Zihang woke up, now the water conservancy system of the entire capital has been completely paralyzed, the street can drive boats, like a pillar of heavy rain to the whole world upside down.

In the room, perhaps thinking that it was not good to sit like this, the wood finally spoke: "Do you know the Jade Record?" ”

The Jade Record, an ancient book from 1900 BC, engraved on an emerald plate, was found in a secret chamber under a pyramid.

It is regarded as the origin book of alchemy, and the author claims to be the Trinity of the god Hermes in Egyptian mythology, with only thirteen verses in total, but it contains all the truths of alchemy.

Of course, in addition to being a research-worthy ancient book, it is also a reference book for the Kassel Academy's "Alchemical Chemistry Level 3".

It can only be said that Senior Brother Chu, the cold-faced male god, is worthy of being a steel science and engineering man, and one mouth is the knowledge of science and engineering, which catches people off guard.

However, is the academic aspect really good in this case?

By the way, when did this guy learn level 3 in alchemy chemistry? Isn't that too far?

Xia Mi's eyes looked at Chu Zihang a little wrong.

Generally speaking, the third level of alchemy chemistry is the knowledge of the sophomore year of Kassel, but this is for the general half-breed, Xia Mi obviously does not know Chu Zihang very well, and for Chu Zihang, who has completed the whole course of high school by himself in junior high school, this level is only a small meaning.

But......

Use alchemy knowledge to test the dragon king?

Although he can't compare to Norton in this regard, he is the pioneer of alchemy after all, but compared to some small fish and shrimp, Xia Mi is still extremely confident in terms of knowledge reserves.

After all, it is a dragon king of thousands of years, and it is normal to be well-informed.

Xia Mi nodded and motioned for Chu Zihang to continue.

"He ascended from the earth to heaven and descended from heaven to attain power above and below him. In this way, you may receive the glory of the world, and be free from darkness and obscurity. ”

Chu Zihang had words in his mouth.

This is Newton's translation of the Jade Dictionary, a scientist himself who was interested in alchemy and mysticism, which was not so clearly separated from science in the Middle Ages, and alchemy was also a type of science.

This passage of Newton can also be translated as "The One ascended from the earth into the sky and then descended back to the earth, thus absorbing the power of the upper and lower realms, so that you will have the glory of the whole world, far from obscurantism." ”

Xia Mi naturally picked up Chu Zihang's words: "The key to this sentence lies in what the "Taiyi" is referring to. ”

If you have a question about Taiyi, you could have gone to the Norton guy next door to ask, but Natsumi didn't do it.

Although she didn't know what Chu Zihang wanted to do, Xia Mi was happy to accompany him and pretend for a while, which allowed her to temporarily let go of the racial difference between the two, and then return to the previous state of getting along.

Look, this is the person who loves each other, so there won't be that kind of "I should play with you and turn a blind eye".

Chu Zihang was lying on the hospital bed, unable to move his whole body, he could only look at the pure white ceiling in a daze, and said: "Now there are two theories in the academic world, one understands 'Taiyi' as the material used in alchemy, that is, metal or other substances that have been burned by flames, and the other believes that 'Taiyi' is the so-called spirit. ”

Xia Mi smiled and asked, "What do you think, senior brother?" ”

"Senior brother".

Hearing this title from Xia Mi's mouth again, Chu Zihang suddenly had a feeling of being in a different world, as if the battle with Odin, and the Nibelungen were all a dream, and he was still very moved when he woke up for a long time, Xia Mi was still his smiling junior sister, not the dragon king with wings.

Chu Zihang froze: "I don't think it's right." ”

"The "One" should represent "me."

"Me"?"

Xia Mi was stunned, it was the first time she had heard such a strange argument, even Norton might not be able to analyze the essence of alchemy from this perspective.

"That's right, 'I'."

"The id, the self, the self."

"It doesn't matter how you describe it, the "One" represents "me."

"Do you remember what you said in the Spirit Doctrine?"

"If Taiyi refers to spirits, then the upper and lower realms refer to the different spiritual worlds of dragons and humans? "Jade Record" describes the process of self-fulfillment by evolving from humans to dragons? ”

"Is it possible for humans to evolve into dragons?"

"Some researchers of the Medieval Jade Record once thought that it was a work in the name of a god, but the author was 'infinitely close to God' and was 'stealing the law of God', because he was afraid that this law would be understood by ordinary people, so he used secret words."

"Sacrificial bodies in ancient Egypt?"

"Yes, the sacrificial body was only mastered by medieval monks, and Arabic replaced Egyptian as the lingua franca of Egypt in the seventh century AD, so it is difficult to decipher the sacrificial body, so Newton's translation is likely to be full of errors......"

However, the spiritual theory is not worthy of approval, if humans can evolve into dragons, there is neither necessary nor any way for her to return to the human world, which is "falling from the sky" in the original text...... Even if she is well versed in the laws of the human world and is proficient in imitating human nature and feelings, she still can't return, because she ...... in her bones Still not a real person. ”

Xia Mi was a little silent when she heard this, her eyes flickered a few times, then she turned her head, looked at Chu Zihang, and asked with a smile: "Then how can she return to being a human being?" ”

Chu Zihang looked into her eyes: "She doesn't have to return to being a human being, because she herself is "me", and it is the flesh that "ascends from the earth" to heaven, and then the flesh "descends from the sky" and returns to "me". ”

"And "I" am a human being, and even if I am transformed into a dragon, I still maintain the soul of a human being, which is the same existence as a half-blood."

"Xia Mi, you are not a dragon king, at least with me, you are no different from humans."

The young man's face was cold and hard, and the words in his mouth stumbled, and when he heard it in anyone's ears, he would not feel that the young man was serious about saying this, but the girl saw sincerity in the young man's eyes.

The boy was not good at expressing himself, but he told her everything.

The girl smiled, tears flashing from the corners of her eyes: "This statement is too cunning. ”

Chu Zihang forcibly endured the pain and touched the corners of his mouth, making his smile crooked, and after the girl saw it, she laughed even more wantonly.

The atmosphere in the room was lively.

The dragon king named JΓΆrmungadri finally took off the mask that had been worn for thousands of years and lived in this world again in the name of a girl named Natsumi.

This is, Old Tang's voice sounded outside the door: "Gu Bei? What are you doing here? ”

Gu Bei's slightly embarrassed voice sounded: "What, I want to make a movie recently, take the material first, and take the material ......"

Don: "Oh......"

In the room, teenagers and teenage girls blushed rarely.
