CHAPTER XXVII
Kui continued: "Actually, I probably know who the demon who came into contact with the blood clan is, and he is also a hard-working person. It's just that he's not a demon clan, he's a zombie queen. He used to be a subordinate of the Yellow Emperor, but unfortunately the Yellow Emperor did not bury him after he died in the war, and the Yuan Shen of Qian, who was banned by Nuwa at that time, was looking for people to deal with Nuwa everywhere. Hou Qing contributed his three souls and seven spirits to the Qian, and transformed himself into a zombie. However, he was a little unclear, so he went directly to the Yellow Emperor to take revenge, and asked the Yellow Emperor to kill him. Zombies are not in the Five Elements, they are not in reincarnation, as long as they are given a little time, they can always slow down. Hou Qing is the most miserable zombie, delayed for thousands of years, and he put down his words at that time, as long as he died with injustice in his heart, he could become a zombie. Later, we lost news of him, and it took a long time to find out that he had gone to Europe at that time. At that time, a small branch of the blood clan had always been special to the rules of escapism... Dislike. It just hit it off with the Qian, and this is the birth of the Demon Party. Kui looked at William while saying it, and he didn't know if there was anything taboo that he couldn't say.
William's face became more and more ugly: "The Six Rings of the Blood Clan are the eternal truth!" You can't be desecrated by these people! So I beg you, and the witchers, to help us destroy the demon party as much as possible! ”。
"But lately, the church has also frequently taken action to arrest the demons. It's just very strange that even though they can be killed directly, the church is still willing to sacrifice more manpower to capture it. Peter.
"The Holy See has always been mysterious, and without them, there would be no current Six Rings of the Blood Clan. But I can understand, after all, from the perspective of the Terrans, we did too much at that time. At that time, the Holy See, as the real controller of the country, was normal for the suppression of the blood clan. In this respect, I do not hate the Holy See very much. But lately the Holy See has become more and more strange, as if they have lowered their posture politically and are trying to reconcile with each country. But in private, he became strong against the underworld. Not only our blood clan, but also the Wizarding Alliance, recently the Holy See has privately started to restart the witch hunt, and many people with special abilities have been secretly imprisoned by the Holy See. William answered.
I saw that the topic behind me didn't seem to have anything to do with me, so I asked Kui if I could go out and meet Simon. After all, I just drank other people's blood, and I'm not familiar with it. At William's beckoning, a waiter led me to Simon in a pile of bottles.
To be honest, I can't tell he's a pharmacist... The alchemist, I thought he was doing hip-hop music.
Simon sat in front of his antique alchemy table, swinging inexplicable plants. When he saw me coming, he immediately stood up and greeted me. I didn't expect this, I thought that this kind of alchemy master was that kind of Frankenstein, and it would be nice to be able to deal with you.
"That, hello, I'm Jiang, we don't seem to have officially known each other yet." , this is also a kind of pick-up.
"I am Simon, I don't have a family name, I used to be a white slave, I was saved by my master and given eternal life, and now I am a free man." , he is down-to-earth and generous.
"And the white slaves? I've heard of black slaves. Again, it is my blind spot in knowledge.
"Yes, the white slaves were robbed to North Africa by pirates from Europe at that time. I was originally a doctor living in Ireland, so I studied both herbs and alchemy. It's great that the master has given me an eternal life, and a long life can make me better at research. It can be seen that Simon seems to be very satisfied with his current life.
"I heard that modern chemistry was born out of alchemy?" , Baidu Encyclopedia's explanation.
"Yes, but not quite. Chemistry is more inclined to the composition and decomposition of substances, mainly starting from mineral substances, and slowly transitioning to plants, animals, etc. But from the very beginning, alchemy has attached importance to the transformation of people and things, and it is recorded in the Jade Record that the greatest alchemy is to create life. ”
"yes, so you're more powerful, hahaha...", my knowledge is really lacking, what kind of thing is this jade record, it's really hard to talk to these guys who have lived for hundreds of years.
"By the way, what's the use of the medicine I just drank? Just listen to you say that you can build resonance, what resonance, what is the use? I finally found something to talk about.
"Yes, in fact, each of us has a mental perception, but everyone's biomagnetic field frequency is different, and it is difficult to resonate. Resonance means a kind of spiritual communication, you have my blood in your body, then you can summon me anywhere. He is worthy of being an alchemist, a member of the early scientists, and he can use scientific terms to say such mysterious things.
"What did you summon you for?" Can you help me bring breakfast?
"For example, you know that someone in your life thinks about someone, and that person calls. Or two people saying a word at the same time and wanting to eat the same thing at the same time, that's a kind of resonance. The medicine I gave you was to strengthen your and my empathy, and now it's mainly to strengthen our communication. The simplest thing is that when you think of me, I know it, and then you can talk to each other in your heart. You can try. Simon made a gesture of please.
"Ahh Okay, try...", this is an egg, and it's like it's being watched invisibly.
"You have to call me in your heart first, or I won't hear me." , he explained to me.
"Oh, that's it, how do you hang up?" , I haven't used it either.
"It's not a phone, you can stop it if you want to. You don't think you've ever done meditation. ”
"Meditate? Done it a few times. I've done it.
"Similar, slightly different. Meditation involves concentrating one's attention on a single point or an imaginary picture while meditating. You can focus on my name, my appearance, you can do it. Then call me. Simon patiently explained, like a teacher on the side when he used the computer for the first time when he was a child.
I tried to think about what he looked like and called him in my heart. Soon I felt a voice ringing in my head: "You know how to use it, that's it." ”。
I immediately looked at Simon, who was smiling at me, and the voice in my head said, "Don't be surprised, this is resonance, but not all, just the easiest beginning." ”
"What else can we do?" , I didn't say anything, and asked him in my heart.
"If it's far away, you and I can see what the other sees, and you can even use my abilities in some cases." It's so convenient.
"I can use yours, can't you use mine?" , I questioned.
"No, if you hold my blood, you can use my ability, in fact, Lord Viscount didn't let us establish an equal contractual relationship, I didn't get your blood, but you took mine, so I can be regarded as a user, similar to a servant or helper."
"Is it so amazing? So how do I use your abilities? ”
"You need more meditation to improve your mental power first, and then I can send you my abilities through a directory-like index, and you can use it. Of course, if you've seen it, it's easier to use. ”
"So what are you capable of?
"I am an alchemist and an apothecary, and the most powerful thing is, of course, my knowledge and experience. Secondly, I'm also a Bloodline, but I'm not good at fighting, and I'll still be able to do simple clones and changes.
"Will you change? What is the change called? ”
"Smoke, the blood clan is basically the capital, and there are countless bats flying away in clones, this is all basic."
"Okay, what's special about that?" , these are a bit different from the vampires who killed all sides on TV.
"Hmm... So, with the help of medicine, I can increase my ability to manipulate in the dark, especially plants, such as becoming a member of the forest. ”
"By the way, you always say that you are an alchemist and a pharmacist, so what can you do? Make gold? ”
Simon suddenly raised his body, and his eyes lit up.
"There is always a misunderstanding about alchemy, in fact, gold is not the main thing, the most important thing is to break through life. Our alchemy in the West dates back to the Hellenistic period, and the earliest and most reliable representative is Zoschelmos. Zossimus, who lived around 350 to 420 A.D., believed in the existence of a substance that magically caused metal to change in what one could expect. His name for this substance, after it was introduced to Latin by Arabic, is called "Elixirvitae" (elixir), which is similar to what you call in the Central Plains, "the high-grade elixir that can make people immortal". It has touched the sphere of influence of the mighty again, and it is gushing endlessly.
"Jin Dan is an elixir of immortality?!" I listened to Simon's introduction in amazement. I've seen Jindan, that's what I eat with tomatoes, and I've also smelled Danqi.
"Please don't interrupt me just yet. We believe that the distillation and purification of alchemy is a process of perfection through death and resurrection, symbolizing the perfection of the soul of the person engaged in alchemy from death and resurrection. Now Simon is not in good spirits, he is simply about to fly.
"This point is very similar to the Jin Dan of the Central Plains Taoist priest." , I echo to.
"So many great monarchs of the West were great believers in alchemy and vigorously developed it. However, the golden pill can only be obtained by a very small number of people, through the revelation of the good angels of one God, not through personal diligence. Most of them failed, but they also gave birth to modern chemistry, which is known as the prototype of modern chemistry. However, this is not right! This is because a large number of alchemists, frustrated by the failure of traditional alchemy, make them turn to the superficial transformation of metal, hoping to become rich overnight by turning lead into gold, which is very wrong! They forget what is said in the Jade Record, that all objects are a community, and that scattered research can only lead to distortion and ultimately achieve nothing. Simon is already close to fanaticism.
