Chapter 7: Meeting(1/2)
【【Equal exchange】
It is the common sense of alchemy.
No matter how cruel it is, it is extremely real that there are absolute principles that bind alchemists to carry out concepts similar to material transformation.
To put it simply, it is absolutely fair.
In pure material exchange, this kind of equal fairness is not the fairness of spontaneous parties, but the fairness of created laws.
The most original attribute of the spiritual world is the energy body called "spiritual power", and this energy body was produced at the same time as this world, and what created them is called the "Light of Creation"
】"creature"】
Chang Yufeng was still observing everything in the dream carefully. The place was bright and bright, but no matter where they looked, there was only a gleaming golden door blocking their way.
"Equivalent exchange...absolute fairness...the law of creation...the light of creation." Lin'er repeated the important words one by one. Although it was the first time she heard it, she could at least understand the general outline, just like the Creator.
A powerful thing has a unique set of logical laws to govern the world it creates.
[Alchemy's "Tongfa Dictionary" records: The law of creation holds that gold and stone are branches of the same mineral. This is true no matter what kind of stone or gold it is, because the concept of stone is a broad term.
, and gold is a deterministic derivative in the concept of stone, so all deterministic derivatives in any stone branch can be transformed into a substance called gold. The reason why alchemy disappeared is because of energy
The concept of body has not been widely recognized. Even spiritual power, even if it is an energy body, has finally been developed through long-term "ignorant exploration" and personal use, not to mention the more grandiose things mentioned in the Law of Creation.
Energy body concept.]
Chang Yufeng paused for a moment, because he felt that Lin'er was beginning to be confused at this time. He glanced at Lin'er, and Lin'er also looked at him, as if she was asking him why he stopped.
"Brother Yu Feng, I'm listening..."
"Okay..." Chang Yufeng found that there was indeed no sign that this door could be opened. It was okay to explain the details of equivalent exchange to Lin'er for the time being.
He simply sat down and continued.
[Just like... there is no way in our world to change something called a tree. It is a fixed existence. As long as no artificial things are imposed, it has a natural death process, but it is converted into a kind of tree through some form of alchemy.
An energy carrier, such as an apple tree, is converted into an energy carrier such as a "tree", and then it is alchemically transformed into... a pear tree. This is how it feels.] He used his spiritual power to depict
Two trees with completely different shapes to make it easier for Liner to understand.
The two trees were decomposed and reconstructed through different shapes, and their positions were exchanged.
Lin'er followed her and sat cross-legged on the ground, but her dress was too long, so she had to pick up her skirt and put it aside.
"Well... I almost understand..." Lin'er nodded, looking at the endless white space seriously, then looked back at Chang Yufeng and blinked: "Then... how to do it? This
[Alchemical Transformation]... looks like a medium..."
"No, alchemical transformation is the method, and the energy body that creates the law is the medium..." Chang Yufeng recovered the spiritual power and looked at Lin'er with a serious expression: "Generally speaking, we must achieve the ultimate goal.
The alchemical conversion is impossible... because ordinary people do not have such a huge energy body required by the law of creation, and this energy body is often stored through containers, and will not be stored through flesh and blood, unless that
Man himself is the embodiment of the energy body of the creative law."
"Then...Brother Yu Feng...is this kind of energy body the embodiment of it?" Lin'er listened very seriously and asked equally seriously. Situations like this seem to be normal. How can you sit like this now?
Looking at Chang Yufeng and chatting with him naturally is also a very happy thing.
I have no other feelings, but when I was running out of the long corridor, I could remember such a good friend in the spirit world. I can only say that such a thing as luck is so wonderful.
"I'm not..." As for why Lin'er asked this, Chang Yufeng thought it might be because there were too many strange things he had encountered with him, and they all revolved around him. As long as it was a new one,
Lin'er would naturally guess that something was related to herself, and, in a sense, she didn't quite understand what her current situation was.
"But... this dream is... this dream is the energy body of the law of creation." Chang Yufeng pointed upward. There seemed to be a golden gate there, but they all knew that what Chang Yufeng was referring to was the one that had just collapsed.
space.
"Then...how do we take this body back? Can humans also be transformed into energy bodies? Or do we need to use this energy to replace ourselves with the outside world?"
In response to Lin'er's question, Chang Yufeng nodded, then shook his head.
"What do you mean..." Lin'er looked at the wrinkles on Chang Yufeng's clothes. These clothes seemed a bit old.
"Half is correct, half is wrong." Chang Yufeng really seemed to be teaching Lin'er more knowledge, and was surprisingly serious: "We will indeed let the energy of the creation laws here return our current bodies to the spiritual world.
That is the place where we rest. But... human beings... have no way to form an energy body. When humans have consciousness, that is, when they have souls, they cannot become any form of energy body with the law of creation. They can only form an energy body after death.
Finally. However, the soul is also classified as the energy body of the law of creation, so... to be precise, it is feasible."
The more Chang Yufeng spoke, the darker his face became. He thought of something bad. He paused for a moment and fell silent.
Lin'er saw his silence and asked him what was wrong.
He said it was okay.
Lin'er looked at him doubtfully and had to continue asking: "Is it possible that... some alchemists want to achieve a certain purpose through the alchemical conversion of souls? For example... resurrecting an important person..."
"This is impossible..." Chang Yufeng said: "Even if I tell you that the soul is also an energy body... However, after death, the soul must be transformed into an energy body. There is no way to regenerate the amount of energy.
It is absolutely impossible to combine into a new and complete human being to achieve exactly the same human being... To be more precise, if you want to rely on the soul... you cannot do such a thing as "resurrection", because the law of creation does not
allow……"
Chang Yufeng paused again... When he started speaking, it was not like this. Although he was equally calm at that time, he looked very much like a learned master, not like he paused now.
Lin'er found that Chang Yufeng seemed reluctant to talk about this matter.
I don’t know if it’s because of what else Chang Yufeng has experienced...
This feeling is very subtle. It seems that such mood swings should not be...
The sister looked at the hesitant Chang Yufeng and lowered her gaze to his legs. He was wearing black boots, which looked like he was all black, with only some white patterns.
"Then... what is the purpose of alchemy? If it is just to exchange things for things... money should be easy to get... then there should be many people learning alchemy... However,
I haven't met many... alchemists..." Lin'er no longer asked about this matter, but diverted the topic. Maybe she had a conflict with the soul... or maybe Yu Feng
My brother met a good friend in this spiritual world...and died...
There is no resurrection after death...
If...if possible, according to Yu Feng's brother's temperament, he would definitely use alchemy to resurrect that person, even at all costs...
This is him...
but……
Obviously, he knew this was impossible... he could only... watch...
Therefore, the current silence makes Lin'er a little sad. This dream was originally quiet, but now only Lin'er's voice is left, so clear, so crisp, gently echoing in the dream world.
"This... it's time to return to equal exchange..." Chang Yufeng seemed to have come to his senses. He also looked at his boots. There was no dirt here, but the shoes were unusually old.
"Another exchange of equal value...Isn't this the basic principle of alchemy...How could it be..."
Coming back again...
"It is indeed like this... As the basic principle of the principle of equivalent exchange, all alchemical rules must be followed, but... the specific rules of equivalent exchange are not so clear, and... need to be explored for a long time...
If alchemy is only for money... the price paid would be too huge..." Chang Yufeng coughed and adjusted her sitting position. She was now face to face with Lin'er, looking at Lin'er's eyes seriously. Lin'er
She didn't look at him, but looked at her sleeves.
It's like being absent-minded...
Such small actions are very natural...
It won't make people feel embarrassed...
He looked at her eyelashes, then followed her eyes, her delicate nose, then her red lips, then her white neck, and then this red dress.
So familiar yet strange.
"What price?" Lin'er looked at him doubtfully and stared into his eyes.
Chang Yufeng continued to look into her eyes and said slowly: "Although alchemists have been continuously inheriting and exploring for thousands of years to find out the alchemy [Book of Tongfa], but the specific details in it...
It is still changing, and is even completely different from the situation that appeared in the book... In other words... the rules of alchemy, through the transformation of substances that have been explored, are not reliable..."
He continued: "In a sense, it is like this..."
He said that the two trees of different shapes were once again manifested with spiritual power.
One has a dome and the other has a triangular top.
The two trees spun in his hands.
"We know... the rule we already know now is that apple trees turn into pear trees, right..." Chang Yufeng asked Lin'er.
"Hmm..." Lin'er nodded lightly.
"Then...relying on certain laws...we need some stones to alchemically transform an apple into a pear tree. Of course, the real alchemical transformation is definitely not a stone. I just assume..." Chang Yufeng used his spiritual power to express the third
Something, that is, a stone of different shapes.
"Well..." Lin'er looked at it seriously and continued to nod.
"Then... by sacrificing this stone, it can be boiled to extract the energy of the law of creation contained in this stone. Of course, it is not limited to boiling, but it may also be ground into powder. Then, this stone will be gone...
…He’s been consumed…”
Chang Yufeng turned the stone into nothingness.
To be continued...
