Chapter 15 The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil
Strange stories and mysterious phenomena.
Ghosts and evil spirits, curses and drives away evil spirits.
And, most importantly, extraordinary power.
Shao Qiming once believed in all this from the bottom of his heart, as firmly as he believed in classical mechanics.
Seeing is true, and being a smart person like me personally experiences something that proves to be true, why do you have to worry about it? Can you admit it when you have to verify it with concerns and then verify it, hold secret rituals again and again, and make up something that you can't control and regret crying?
It is unnecessary. If you are willing to firmly believe that something other people think is abnormal is the so-called "middle-second", then the definition of middle-second is a bit too positive.
but.
Not long ago, when the holy object called "true cross fragments" by Su Zhou was pressed on his chest, Shao Qiming realized that his past firm belief in these was just like a system based on the "macross low-speed movement and gravity is not extreme", it was just a castle in the air based on many conditions.
Because of his sick body, he had no choice but to choose "play football", "singing" and other hobbies, so he could only play "mysterious game" such as "collecting strange stories" that does not require physical strength based on his childhood memories of not knowing whether it was hallucinations.
It is such a superficial belief, willingness, self-consideration, and self-satisfaction belief.
The essence is such self-deception.
"Ah Zhou..."
Sighing in a low voice, Shao Qiming spoke out his friend's name, his face a little lonely: "So, I have never understood you."
You are a real superpower, a guy who steps into the extraordinary with one foot. What I call belief is probably too superficial in your eyes of "believing" all this.
But now... it's different.
Shao Qiming raised his hand and pressed it on his chest. There was a small bag wrapped in a few pieces of wood debris. There was even a real vision in his mind, and a clear and warm light overflowed from the bag and flowed through his whole body.
This is the truth—at least, now, at this moment, it is.
"Curse...hey, I can even think of it even if I don't use my brain and knees. It must be my father's business competitors."
Su Zhou's figure had disappeared from the corner of the street, and the intelligent young man sat back in front of his computer. His eyes gradually became gloomy, and even a hint of ruthlessness: "You can use a curse to deal with my mother and me, but my father's property has not been hindered - this means that the other party's open strength is not strong, and it is even likely that he was one of the defeated generals of his father back then, and he did not even dare to retaliate openly, so as not to attract national attention."
"But even so, this is a mysterious group hidden in modern society with legal identity as a disguise... And what kind of mentality did these people curse a woman and a child?"
——Highly above, venting anger, gloomy sneer, and driving ghosts, torture or killing two lives without caring.
Shao Qiming is a smart person, and he can easily figure this out.
That's why he felt humiliation and anger, an inexplicable sadness and disgust.
Faced with the extraordinary hidden person, ordinary people are almost powerless to resist. It is likely that a staggered look on the roadside, a sudden whim test, a pleasant hobby and a casual blow, a person's fate will change as a result.
But it is precisely because Shao Qiming is a smart person that he realized that at this time, there is no need for any messy venting and gritting teeth - anger comes from the powerlessness towards himself, and the weak are most likely to be angry - and from the beginning, he understood what he should do, how to "revenge" or "revenge".
He has this ability.
"I have nothing except money, and Ah Shu."
"But that's enough - more than enough."
Sitting at the computer desk and making a plan, the young man who looked calm suddenly smiled inexplicably: "My brother is a powerful extraordinary person who has been favored by the 'great existence'! No one can think of this, I just need to support him with all my strength, it's enough."
"After all, I can't compare to Ah Zhou in terms of courage and ability to move."
Not afraid of snakes, insects, not afraid of high altitudes or even death, or even extraordinary power... People with this mentality may be called "brave" or even "fair".
But the true "courage" is that you can still move forward without hesitation when facing a completely unknown and unpredictable future, and bear the consequences and costs for all the choices you make.
"Although, maybe it's a bit late."
"But, I also want to witness the light of that world."
Clicking on a folder and pulling out a list. Shao Qiming thought about it, chose a more familiar name, and then made a call.
"Hey, is it Brother Da? It's me, Qiming. Don't call me that, okay... I need 1500 grams of silver now, yes, that's right, keep it confidential."
"Hey, is it Uncle Jun? It's me, Qiming, I need 400 grams of gold now... I just want to play around and want to customize some jewelry by myself... Yes, gift, don't tell my parents."
“…”
Just when Shao Qiming disrupted the data of the material and used a reasonable excuse to entrust different people to their friends, which is also a preparation for their future.
At this moment, Su Zhou returned home - he went to the "Zhicheng Flower and Fruit Shop" and moved the potted apple plant prepared by Brother Chen for him back.
"If you have any unclear things, I'll ask you Brother Chen."
The premature aging boss Ben San smiled and said, "Although I don't have any confidence in other aspects, I am a master in flower and fruit pot cultivation!"
Su Zhou naturally believed it. After all, the other party's skills were praised by his mother who had a very high appreciation skills - but it was not as extraordinary as the snake spirit!
"This man has a hint of wood spirit." In response, Yara fairly commented: "At least this man is indeed doing his favorite career and is also suitable for him. It's quite good."
"That's quite enviable."
Although he expressed his envy verbally, everyone actually knew... Su Zhou had no time to talk, because when he moved the apple potted plant to the windowsill of his room, the snake spirit kept giving out instructions.
"Go and cook a pot of holy water first - don't look at me with such suspicious eyes. Do you still remember how to make holy water?"
"Then take out the bottle containing the sheltered cross and take out the high concentration of holy water inside."
"Take it out? Pour it out? Yala, you are not good at this verb."
Su Zhou was originally thinking about how to take out the "water", but when he opened the glass bottle containing the cross, he realized that after a day of precipitation, the holy water in the bottle was like...
"This thing is also holy 'water'?"
To give a more common example, it is like fish jelly or a refreshing pudding. Anyway, when Su Zhou poured out a can of holy hydrogel with a tactile buzziness, he was shocked: "I think adding some sugar can be sold as a dessert!"
"Do you think there is no holy water dessert? You definitely don't know that the highest purity of holy water No. 0 is actually a solid crystal similar to rock sugar. It can not only be used as a ingredient, but also as a weapon material!"
Haha, Yala urged: "This is probably the purity of No. 4 Holy Water, which is similar to Turtle Poria jelly. If you want to precipitate No. 0 Holy Water that can make life and death human flesh and bones, it will probably take more than half a year. However, with the current situation, it is barely enough."
"Su Zhou, dig up the soil, then mix these holy water gels and wood powder in the trunk of the wisdom tree, put them around the root system of the apple pot plant, recite the names of all sages, fill them with secret rituals, and finally pour a pot of hot holy water condescendingly, and the matter is almost done."
"Gui Ling Juice... I won't talk about why you know your own specialties better than me, a Chinese, but I said, isn't this really fertilization?"
Although he looked suspicious, Su Zhou still did it. He first filled the bottles that protected the cross with holy water, and then completed the rituals ordered by Yala one by one in order.
Of course, although the hands do as they do, the mouth cannot stop: "Do you know Yara, I used to plant trees on Arbor Day, and was also named a tree planting activist by the class teacher..."
"Oh, stop talking nonsense - you are a Zhengguo, right? Can't I be a Zhengguo snake? Get it done quickly!"
"Oh. Hulalala..."
With his mouth dubbing, Su Zhou held a pot of boiling holy water and pointed it at the pitiful apple tree potted plant without hesitation and poured it on his head! You can see that the boiling holy water emitted a large amount of water vapor emitting milky white light as soon as it touched the branches of the leaves!
Su Zhou smelled a very sweet and refreshing fragrance on the spot - it was not the fragrance of grass and trees after the fruit trees were scalded, but a sweet fragrance that was mixed with milk and honey, but was extremely distant and fresh.
"Open the spiritual vision." Yala guided this way, but Su Zhou had already reached his mind before that and he started the spiritual vision state in advance.
So, he can see.
Under the small pot of pot, ten osmosis was illuminating bit by bit, overflowing from the small pot and the gaps in the soil, just like sunlight penetrated through the dark clouds.
——First is the ‘kingdom’, then the ‘basic’.
This light illuminates from the bottom layer, bringing a blazing pure white, its light can penetrate all matter and reflect the holiness from the deepest part of the spiritual world.
They condense at the roots of the fruit wood, like clusters of crystals, making them sufficient to be derived from the spiritual world and rooted in extraordinary fields.
——The next one is ‘glory’, ‘victory’, ‘beauty’, ‘strict’ and ‘benevolent’.
A series of holy lights flashed like the starlight in the sky, and appeared and disappeared around the tree shrouded in the mist of the holy water.
It could be heard vaguely, and a sudden roar came from the distant end, as if the thunder sounds descended from the highest sky. It brought out a warm wind and swept across the ordinary fruit tree trunks, engraved with a sacred emblem.
——Immediately afterwards, there are ‘understanding’ and ‘wisdom’.
It seemed as if an angel ignited a fire sword, and the holy spiritual fire and pure white light turned into cloud-like mist, lingering around the top of the tree. There were vague shadows floating between them, as if they wanted to create a glorious world.
From the "matter" at the root, to the "formation" of the tree trunk and the "creation" of the treetops, a circle of "prototype" apertures with uncertain light and darkness were condensed at the top of this ordinary wood. The flames condensed by the holy light were burning here, as if waiting for something.
Without Yala's prompt, Su Zhou understood what he was going to do next as soon as it appeared.
So he stretched out his hand and touched the flame: a slight stinging pain came, and Su Zhou felt a part of his spirituality overflow, which turned into a purple-green spot of light and threw it into the flame.
And this little bit of spirituality exploded and spread like a singularity when it penetrated the flames!
——The last one, the ‘crown’ was forged.
All things are sublimated here, and the soulless wood branches produce spirits. In the spiritual world independent of the material world, above the "apple wood", a small spiritual seedling is taking root in the glory, sprouting, and pulling out tender leaves—
If it were the occult experts in relevant fields, or the ancient saints who saw this scene, they would definitely be shocked and could not even close their mouths.
Because, after the buds grow a green leaf.
The spirit nurtured by the whole "apple potted plant" turns into a sacred crown in the breath, as if it represents the authority of the entire bright world.
