Chapter 7: The Source of the Plague in the Spirit Weapon Pavilion?
The next morning, Gu Cheng got up very early. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
According to what the attendant said yesterday, Gu Cheng still had three days to familiarize himself with the Spirit Soldier Pavilion, and he would officially start work in three days.
Gu Cheng followed the instructions to observe each process and familiarize himself with the process of casting weapons.
.......
Spirit Soldier Pavilion.
After two days of observation, in addition to learning to cast weapons, Gu Cheng gradually discovered that the victim of the immortal law was actually an ordinary worker and peasant commoner, but people in the outside world misunderstood them very deeply.
Although there were some C-class students who would snatch spirit stones, they were only a very small minority, and most of them worked diligently.
They worked hard just to get some spirit stones.
They all love spirit stones. If you don't break the spirit stone for a day, you always feel as if something is missing in your life, come a little when you rest, and don't forget to come a little when you work.
Those inferior spirit stones are not pure, and absorbing too much will damage the lifespan. These C-class students are absorbing some inferior spirit stones, but they can absorb all the tastes, which are the taste of contentment. For them, it is happiness to have broken spirit stones to suck. As for the length of life, they don't care about it, they only know that it is better to live happily if they die, so that when they are about to die, they will not burden others and die freely.
They will speak very straightforwardly, scold whoever they want, many times they scold each other red-faced, and when it comes to absorbing spirit stones, they will respect each other. Gu Cheng really couldn't tell the relationship between them sometimes. In fact, they have nothing to do with each other, they are just prodigal sons.
They are already helpless, not like Gu Cheng, their quota for entering the mountain is just from the army's hard work to kill the enemy, to be honest, most of them have no intention of being Jin Wuwei, just adhering to the idea that whoever has spirit stones to mix with is enough spirit stones to live.
However, after staying in the Spirit Weapon Pavilion for a long time, they still have something to be proud of, and as for what it is, everyone's answer is different - some think that being able to feed themselves is enough, and others think that being able to forge a weapon for human use is something to be proud of.
Sometimes, Gu Cheng appreciates their free and easy life.
No matter who they are, what their names are, or where they are, as long as they live in this Spirit Soldier Pavilion, this is where they belong.
Although the Spirit Soldier Pavilion is small, it can accommodate many people, which is like the home of these immortal victims, although there is no tile to cover their heads, it is enough to give them warmth.
Recently, however, many people in this small place have become panicked, and that is because some people have contracted a strange disease, the cause of which has not yet been identified, and the only solution is to isolate all the sick people.
.......
The melting pot.
On the third day, Gu Cheng arrived at the melting pot to observe another stage of forging weapons—the refining process.
Before he reached the melting pot, Gu Cheng had already felt that the temperature on the ground was abnormally high, but he soon knew the reason for the high temperature.
It turned out that the so-called melting pot was actually the crater of Yueren Mountain, which was full of magma, which was diverted through hundreds of ditches and flowed under hundreds of furnaces. And the refining is carried out in these furnaces.
When refining weapons, there will always be some green smoke, and these countless strange puffs of green smoke fill the air and are sucked into the body of everyone who is working.
As soon as he arrived at the melting pot, Gu Cheng also took a puff of such green smoke, but he soon discovered that there was something wrong with this green smoke!
"This green smoke....!"
After Gu Cheng was reborn, his nose was already much more sensitive, and he could naturally distinguish the gas components mixed in the black smoke one by one.
These green smoke were mixed with many different gases, and although there was a small amount of gas, it made Gu Cheng shudder.
This is..... Corpse gas!
Gu Cheng had smelled a lot of such smells when he was in Kuchan Street, and these smells were all emanating from corpses.
On the earth, after death, people are often not cleaned up in time, and they are prone to decay, which will produce a large number of pathogenic bacteria, most of which will be spread through decomposing corpses, infecting others and causing plague.
A case in point is the bubonic plague of the 14th century, which lasted for nearly 300 years and eventually spread almost all over Eurasia and Africa.
Thinking of the illness in the Spirit Soldier Pavilion, Gu Cheng was very sure that this corpse qi was the source of the spread of the plague, and it would spread the poison and make people sick to death.
Thinking like this, Gu Cheng took a closer look, but there were no corpses around here at all.
As for.... He didn't know where the corpse gas came from.
An hour later, Gu Cheng searched the entire melting pot and finally knew the answer.
It turned out that the corpse qi was derived from a piece of animal bone fragments, and what made Gu Cheng care was that these animal bone fragments were actually used as materials for casting weapons, and they were also distributed by Yueren Mountain!
Thinking of the grave mentioned by the attendant before, Gu Cheng probably figured it out, the high-level people of Yueren Mountain might have known about it! As for why they knew but didn't report it, the only explanation was.... They are the messengers of the Lord.
If this matter really involves high-level officials and he directly discloses this matter, I am afraid that there will be another floating corpse in the sea tomorrow, besides, Gu Cheng knows better than anyone that he is just a freshman, and he has no prestige at all to make the children of the third class believe in this matter.
Only the strong are qualified to have prestige, this is the reality.
Gu Cheng grabbed a bone fragment, thought for a while, and still couldn't figure it out.
"Why is this skeleton capable of dispersing corpse gas, and what exactly does it contain?"
Thinking like this, Gu Cheng subconsciously pinched the bone fragments.
"Click. ”
With a sound, Gu Cheng didn't expect the bone fragments to be easily crushed by himself.
At this moment, a stream of corpse qi emerged from the crushed bone fragments, and the corpse qi passed through Gu Cheng's skin to the root veins.
In the next moment, the energy in the corpse qi that was originally methodical and performed its own duties rushed out like a reservoir bursting its banks!
These corpses contain a huge amount of energy!
Gu Cheng clearly felt that countless voices were roaring in the energy, and terrifying scenes flashed through Gu Cheng's mind, as if this energy seemed to be sacrificed by countless living people.
Energetic all over the body, even excessive!
At a speed visible to the naked eye, Gu Cheng's body swelled.
This is called an excess of energy!
If the body stores too much energy at once, the energy will be hoarded in the body and converted into fat, which is how a fat person grows into a few hundred pounds, of course, the result is to increase the burden on the body, weaken the function of the five organs, degenerate changes, and cause great pressure on the body, especially on the joints.
If he continues to let it go, Gu Cheng will not only become fat, but will even be crushed to death by this pressure.
But Gu Cheng could barely move, he really wanted to leak out this energy, and at this moment, a strange thought suddenly popped up in his mind - grab a piece of rusty iron ore beside him.
As soon as the fingertips touched the iron ore, the corpse qi in the body encountered an invisible wall, no longer spreading to the body, but along the meridians, and finally through the skin, it was transferred to the rusty iron ore.
"Bang la la"
It's okay?
The energy was drained away, and Gu Cheng breathed a sigh of relief.
I was really lucky, but fortunately, when I was in danger, I remembered what Wu Ting had said - those who have reached the realm of the dual heavens of cultivation will have their meridians open up all over their bodies, and their bodies can absorb a large amount of gas through recuperation, and they can also exhale excess gas.
It seems that it is precisely because he has reached the double heaven of cultivation that he has absorbed these corpse qi, and fortunately, he can still expel this corpse qi.
As for the fat that has been accumulated in the body, Gu Cheng is not worried, as long as all the essence in the body is released, these fats can be burned.
Gu Cheng was attracted all his attention by the matter of inhaling and exhaling just now, so he missed the important elements in front of him for a while.
Corpse Qi, Bones, Energy, Spirit Soldier Pavilion?
He suddenly felt a strong sense of unease.
These four things seemed to have nothing to do with each other, but once they were connected, Gu Cheng's uneasy thoughts in his heart were confirmed.
According to these points, it may be a great mistake to walk into the Spirit Soldier Pavilion, because the Spirit Soldier Pavilion is a conspiracy location!
The higher-ups of Yueren Mountain probably wanted to use the energy of the bones to forge high-grade weapons, so they ignored the corpse qi emitted by the bones!
"Isn't that the C-rank students of the Spirit Soldier Pavilion all being sacrificed?"
Gu Cheng was stunned.
Although Gu Chengdu had nothing to do with those C-class students, he would never want them to die for no reason.
Gu Cheng sighed a little about this, but the high-level of Yueren Mountain is not necessarily wrong, there has never been a standard in this world that can really judge right and wrong, just like the law of the jungle, no one can judge whether this criterion is wrong or right, but one thing Gu Cheng is still very clear about, in this Liancheng, the fate of the weak can only be in the hands of the strong.
Gu Cheng stood under the melting pot, looking at those conscientious people, speechless for a while. The reason why he decided to come in Yueren Mountain before was not to cover up the identity of an immortal cultivator, but to become a Jin Wuwei, he still remembered that Yueren Mountain was the foundation of Liancheng, it was unshakable, and he had also cultivated countless amazing characters, but it was just ..... Why is this the case now?
........
It wasn't until dusk that Gu Cheng turned on the radio compass given to him by Wu Ting, and also adjusted to the coordinates of the location where Wu Ting was.
This is the coordinate agreed upon by Gu Cheng and Wu Ting, and they will wait for each other to turn on the radio compass in the same position every day in order to contact each other.
"Listen, it's me. ”
Gu Cheng sighed, he had a lot of things he wanted to say to Wu, but he didn't know how to say it.
Wu Ting heard a sound of vacancy, and sensed that Gu Cheng was not in a good state, "You are very strange today. ”
Gu Cheng smiled bitterly: "The entire Reading Mountain is very strange. ”
Gu Cheng hesitated for a while, and finally told Wu Ting the whole thing.
Wu Ting said, "In that case, why don't you try to transfer all the bones and corpse qi into the ore, so that you can prevent the spread of the plague?"
"Well, I'm going to do that too. Gu Cheng said firmly.
In fact, before this, Gu Cheng had secretly decided on this matter, although he didn't have enough strength to change the overall situation, but at least to stop the spread of corpse qi, which was within his ability.
"This corpse qi energy is so huge, if you transfer the corpse qi to the stone, you don't know how many spirit stones it can be worth, why don't you try to use this energy to forge the sword fan you left behind?
"I really didn't expect that. Gu Cheng said suddenly.
He hadn't thought of using corpse energy to forge that sword.
For him who has not yet practiced martial arts, the goal of becoming Jin Wuwei is too far away, even if the other divine soul himself arranges everything for his current self, but the current Gu Cheng has not wavered, but because this goal is too far away, he cherishes every bit of cultivation resources more and more, if these corpse qi are really used for himself, he will definitely not hesitate to use this corpse qi, because he really has no time to worry about more problems.
What about the corpses, what about the people in the Spirit Soldier Pavilion, what about the weak?
Only by focusing on walking on your own path and your own career, and not hesitating, will you not regret it.
Thinking like this, Gu Cheng turned off the radio compass, walked outside, and made a simple wooden transport vehicle, with this kind of transport vehicle, he could save himself a lot of energy.
Gu Cheng used this transport cart to the foot of the mountain and carried a pile of stones.
It's just that the wound hasn't healed yet, Gu Cheng's body is already weak, and every time he carries a stone, the wound will be faintly painful.
Or persistent, or stubborn, in short, he wants to persevere.
For the first time in twenty years, Gu Cheng had this impulse.
With this energy, he walked to the furnace of each C-class student, and in the name of studying, secretly used stones to transfer the corpse qi of the bone fragments.
It lasted all day, and he was so tired that he lay down and slept as soon as he returned to the furnace.
The next day, he returned to the Melting Pot, and thanks to his first experience, he became more familiar with inhaling and exhaling, and he gradually expanded the range of corpse qi he absorbed, and the number of stones containing huge amounts of energy increased.
However, Gu Cheng was not in a hurry, he knew better than anyone that the more and more energy contained in the stone, the closer it was to the way to refine that sword!
Then, one day, two days, three days.... Six days later, thanks to Gu Cheng's efforts, the corpse qi had been stopped from spreading, and as for the sword, Gu Cheng thought that there was enough energy to forge it.
