Time out
The text doesn't matter
As soon as he entered the door, Fang Xiaobei noticed the difference.
The space was so large that it was beyond his imagination.
More than a dozen rows of bookshelves are lined up all the way to the depths, the bookshelves are full of materials, and the bookshelves on both sides are clustered into a walkway, and at the end of the walkway is a large table large enough to accommodate more than ten people to eat together.
Fang Xiaobei was very interested and looked around, but he didn't touch it with his hands, he just followed Lao Ning to look.
Walking to the table, he found that it was full of various containers and different types of cups, and after a little search for memory fragments, he realized that these were test tubes, graduated cylinders, droppers, and beakers.
He thought it was deep enough to reach the edge of the table, but he didn't expect that the other side of the table was also full of bookshelves, but instead of books, there were various items on it. The walkway formed by the bookshelves stretches all the way, and it is not far before it is shrouded in darkness with no end in sight.
Fang Xiaobei only then discovered that there was no electric lighting system here, and the lighting used candles and kerosene lamps.
Even the table that was large enough to seat more than a dozen people to eat was not made of iron, but wooden.
Lao Ning didn't know where to take out a box and put it on the table, under the soft light of the kerosene lamp, Lao Ning looked like a wizard in the previous life.
Lao Ning cleared the things on the wooden round table from it and put them on the ground. Fang Xiaobei realized that the ground had begun to be shrouded in an ankle-high mist at some point.
Before she could react, Lao Ning didn't know where to take out a large black iron pot and put it in the center of the wooden round table, which was supported by strange branches under the black iron pot.
"In fact, the awakening ritual is very simple, there is no need to chant a spell, and there is no need for a special flame, just need to place the sacrifice according to the steps, and then light the fire. It's as simple as a child's house. ”
Lao Ning said with a smile, the wrinkles on his face were squeezed together because of the smile.
"Really?"
Between the words, Fang Xiaobei heard Lao Ning's pride.
"It's that simple, you have to thank the Empress." Lao Ning made a gesture of praise to the empress indiscriminately and uncoordinatedly.
It's a memorial offering again, and this world sacrificial offering is so important?
Thinking so, Lao Ning opened the box, which contained a mass of meat pieces, as well as test tubes, balances, and beakers.
"I need a liter of pure water, and I just happened to have it the other day." Lao Ning looked for it on the shelf on the side and came out with a large round bottle.
He pinched the slender opening of the large round bottle, opened the piston, and poured the pure water inside into the large black iron pot very casually.
"In fact, the amount of pure water does not have to be so precise, a little more, a little less, it doesn't matter. You say yes. ”
Fang Xiaobei didn't dare to answer, and smiled awkwardly.
"Then there's 500 grams of tripe from Charolais."
Lao Ning took out a piece of meat from the box, weighed it on the scale, and cut some with a knife to control the precision of the weight.
"This is no ordinary Charolais beef, it is beef that grew up eating memorial products, and the beef itself is an excellent memorial product." Lao Ning said, putting the weighed beef into a large black iron pot filled with pure water.
"Nine grams of dragon fish powder."
Dragonfish that grew up eating sacrificial offerings......
Fang Xiaobei added in his heart.
Lao Ning took out a test tube from the box, did not weigh it with a balance, and poured it into the iron pot casually by feeling.
Seeing Fang Xiaobei's heart pounding, he was a little skeptical about whether Lao Ning was reliable for a while.
"The last material, the 'mysterious' blood." Lao Ning took out a tube of blood, which looked like it was nothing like human blood.
Lao Ning went to the shelf next to him to find a dropper, and carefully took out six milliliters of blood from the test tube.
As soon as it was taken out of the test tube, the blood in the dropper immediately boiled and rolled with a slight gurgling sound.
Lao Ning squeezed all the blood in the dropper into the iron pot.
As soon as the blood came into contact with the pure water, it immediately blended into it, and the river-like gurgling sound was extremely loud, and bubbles exploded on the surface of the water, and the steam rose, emitting a psychedelic mist, and the light of the surrounding kerosene lamps became illusory and distorted by this mist.
Fang Xiaobei had a feeling that was both familiar and unfamiliar.
A kind of itching on the soul appears out of thin air, and people can't help but scratch it.
The Charolais beef in the water is rapidly dissolving, and the clear pure water gradually becomes deeper.
"Oh no, that's the last material." Lao Ning smiled and said, "Amethyst, fifty grams." ”
Lao Ning's voice pulled Fang Xiaobei back at once, and the itching sensation on his soul disappeared.
Fang Xiaobei was slightly shocked, with his emperor-level spiritual power, his spirit was temporarily affected just now.
Lao Ning didn't care if Fang Xiaobei heard what he said, he took out a crystal crystal from the box, which glowed a faint blue in the light. If you look closely, you can see the starry sky inside.
casually threw the amethyst into the pot, and made a plopping sound, and Fang Xiaobei on the side was embarrassed.
Water splashed in the pot and fell again.
The moment the amethyst entered the iron cauldron, the sound of flame explosion suddenly sounded, the flames burned under the black iron cauldron, and the rising mist immediately expanded, enveloping the entire wooden round table, and also enveloping Lao Ning and Fang Xiaobei together.
In the mist, Fang Xiaobei's emperor-level spiritual power was slightly alert, and a feeling of being watched and locked was enveloped in his heart, and he felt that he was being targeted by countless lion-faced ghost kings in an instant.
After more than ten seconds, the water mist contracted, and the liquid in the iron pot also returned to calm.
Lao Ning was still smiling, as if what happened just now had not happened to him. He stepped forward and removed the large black iron pot filled with a thick liquid from the wooden round table.
"Stand up, your Awakening Ritual is about to begin."
Fang Xiaobei did so, jumped onto the wooden round table, and stood in the center of the wooden round table, which was where the big black iron pot was just now.
It is strange that the wooden round table was unexpectedly intact and undamaged by such a fierce flame just now.
It shows that the wood of this wooden round table is not ordinary wood.
Eat the wood that grew up in the sacrificial offerings......
Fang Xiaobei teased in his heart.
He found that Lao Ning was slowly pouring the black liquid in the iron pot on the surface of the wooden round table, and these black liquids were not scattered around like water, but crawled around purposefully, forming a pattern.
All the black liquid in the iron pot was emptied, and the surface of the wooden round table was completely covered by the lines of black liquid.
Fang Xiaobei felt invisible tentacles crawling up his body, and a cool and slippery feeling enveloped the surface of his body.
These tentacles gradually penetrate deeper and penetrate from the surface of the body into all corners of the body.
Fang Xiaobei felt that his body twitched uncontrollably, everything in his field of vision was spinning, the colors became blurry and separated, turning into three primary colors: red, yellow and blue, and the three color blocks were overwhelming, filling the entire field of vision.
The spirit body composed of the Great Emperor-level spiritual power shook slightly, and an invisible force dispersed all the color blocks in the field of vision, and the field of vision became clear again.
Just when Fang Xiaobei thought that everything was calming down, the color block appeared again.
This time, however, it didn't cover the horizon, but instead turned into one word: Starry Waltz.
Strange and repetitive voices suddenly sounded in his ears, and a trace of evil and strange power overflowed from these voices and penetrated into Fang Xiaobei's mind.
He subconsciously shook his head, trying to get the voice out of his head, but to no avail.
But in the next second, the spirit body shook slightly, suppressing the whispers in his ears, removing the evil and strange power that had penetrated, and at the same time, a warm current seeped into the body from the pores.
"How? Did you become abnormal in your vision and hear sounds that weren't there before? Lao Ning said with a smile, "These are what we have always called pollution." ”
"Yes, what can I do to eliminate?"
In order to avoid being special, Fang Xiaobei asked with a pretended to be in pain.
Lao Ning smiled and said: "This is because a slightly excessive amount of 'mysterious' energy remains in the body, and you have imagined an item in your heart, not too complicated, just simple." ”
Residual "mysterious" energy?
Fang Xiaobei suddenly realized, no wonder there was suddenly an aura in his body.
It turned out that the "mysterious" energy remaining in the body was purified by the three thousand three hundred and thirty-three formations engraved on the body, transformed into aura, and stored in the dantian.
He waited for a moment and continued:
"Focus on the object you're fantasizing about and refine its details so you can eliminate the effects of residual energy."
Fang Xiaobei closed his eyes, his brows furrowed, and he estimated the time in his heart.
After a while, he opened his eyes.
He exhaled lightly: "Much better." ”
"How? What god power do you awaken? Lao Ning asked curiously.
Seeing Fang Xiaobei's confused appearance, he added: "It's the word that appeared in your mind during the awakening ceremony. ”
"Starry Waltz." Fang Xiaobei replied honestly.
After hearing this, Lao Ning frowned and thought about it carefully: "God of the Night? Or the goddess of the night? ”
"What?" Lao Ning's voice narrowed unconsciously, and Fang Xiaobei couldn't hear what he said clearly.
"Do you use your awakening powers?"
"How?" Fang Xiaobei wanted to scratch his head inexplicably.
"There should still be remnants of the 'mystical' energies in your body, feel them, and then recite the name of the awakening ability." Lao Ning said.
"Mysterious" energy? has long been transformed into aura, so how can you still use your awakening ability?
Fang Xiaobei was a little overwhelmed, but he still nodded to show that he understood.
The moment Fang Xiaobei closed his eyes, Lao Ning immediately took a few steps back, "Starry Night Waltz", looking at this name, it might take up a lot of space.
Let's see if the aura can be used.
Fang Xiaobei thought so, running his aura, and at the same time repeating the "Starry Night Waltz" in his heart.
At the moment of silent recitation, the aura flowed uncontrollably to the throat, accumulating in a few seconds, his lips trembled slightly, and he spit out five words in a low voice:
"Starry Waltz"
At that moment, the kerosene lamp went out, leaving only smiling sparks flickering, and the surroundings were suddenly surrounded by darkness.
In the darkness, a little light appeared out of thin air.
Lao Ning's pupils dilated, his whole body moved, and he silently took a few steps back, his body hit the bookshelf, and many materials fell to the ground.
Fang Xiaobei slowly opened his eyes.
Look back.
Behind him, in the darkness, a beautiful woman wearing a black star gauze skirt, tall and lazy temperament......
Standing in the midst of the starry light.
