When Rorschach walked out of the last majestic and tall church, his face was very ugly.
According to those priests, it is not difficult to deal with the injuries and diseases he suffered, but the real trouble lies in the subsequent treatment.
When he was dying, the piece of spiritual ice gave him an almost immortal physique, allowing him to survive the injury of intestinal tract dissection, but it also created half of his physique, which has been completely transformed into Undead.
The reason why it was half was because the Lich King deliberately blocked further infection so that Corpse Girl could gain more power by killing his life. But if that was the case, even if he escaped by chance, he still could not escape his fate that was gradually deepening. But the problem was that there was another kind of power in his body.
Psychic physique
The creative source of the ability in the comic "Shaman King" is actually a mixed product of the ancient Chinese Taoist legend of communicating yin and yang and restraining ghosts and gods spread to the East, and then combined with the traditional rituals of witches and primitive customs. In short, It is a kind of spiritual power that is biased toward pure yin. Although it has different sources from the death power in the world of Warcraft, its attributes are very close. In the original plot of "Shaman King", there were many ancient psychics who could not rest in peace after death, and their bodies degenerated into monsters similar to zombies, but they did not have the souls and memories of their lives.
(Refer to the martial artist zombie "Bruce Lee" or the building block ghost Brocken.)
Rorschach's situation is equivalent to diluting some clean water in a basin of sulfuric acid. The death characteristics of the lich's evil power are constantly integrated into the clear "witchcraft" of the psychic, making the originally fatal infection gradually dilute. , the side caused by the undead natural disaster slowly transformed him into an undead creature, while the other side belonging to the psychic constantly maintained the integrity of his life system. This stalemate resulted in the "half-undead" that even the Book of Reincarnation is difficult to judge. change".
And as long as that piece of spiritual ice is not removed, the evil influence of the Lich King will not stop, and this process will continue forever.
"Isn't this a good thing In this way, doesn't it mean that I have an inexhaustible source of energy? In half a day in the real world, I feel that the total strength in my body has increased by nearly one-third. , and it¡¯s extremely pure, it doesn¡¯t look like it was force-fed.¡± Luo Xia couldn¡¯t help but ask after understanding it at that time.
"Haha" After listening to his words, the gentle white-haired old priest shook his head, gave up his idea of ??luck, and asked directly: "Do you think it is the power in your body that is stronger, or the evil in the fragment? Full of energy?¡±
"Of course" Luo Xia was about to reply, but suddenly her voice faltered, and she vaguely understood the root of the problem.
The old priest smoothed his snow-white beard and said leisurely while crossing the river: "A clear spring in the mountains can never wash away a dirty river and sea, even if the pipe from the river and sea flowing into the clear spring is so narrow that it can only hold a few drops of sewage at a time. What will be assimilated will only be the mountain spring. No matter how fast your own strength recovers, it will not be able to keep up with the endless pollution. With every passing moment, the nature of your strength will go deeper into the demonic nature of death. When this transformation reaches the end, you will certainly be able to. In one fell swoop, you can obtain the lowest level of undead magic power, which is at the lowest Silver level, but at that time, you will be taken over by the will in the fragments and become a little Lich King."
"No wonder I suddenly gained the spiritual power to influence other people's minds. I should have noticed it a long time ago The power of those necromancy arts is obviously abnormally strong. Fortunately, I thought it was because I was gifted" Luo Xia smiled bitterly and suddenly thought of A question, so he raised his head and asked:
"How do you know that this is'that' power? There are quite a few villains whose attributes are death or undead, right?"
"We are old friends," the old man said with a smile and a nod: "I am Benedictus."
After saying that, he looked over expectantly, but all he saw was Luo Xia raised her head blankly, blinked and asked, "So?"
The old man opened his mouth, shook his sleeves angrily, and replied angrily: "It's nothing, so, do you still want to help me, or I can leave."
"Of course!" You were obviously the one who started talking nonsense Luo Xia cursed in his heart and had no choice but to nod in reply.
Although this old man has an unreliable personality, Shengli's cultivation is at the real gold level. If Luo Xia's situation was not rare, he would not have provoked such a master to take action. After understanding the situation, he directly provided two a solution.
One way is for him to personally take action and directly use his holy power to forcibly purify the fragment. However, in this way, Rorschach and the Lich King's demonic evil power, which is entangled with the witch power, will also have to pull out the carrot and lead him out of the pit. In addition, it will be completely abolished, and even due to the assimilation of the body, most of the basic talents of the psychic will also be severely damaged.Disintegrated and can no longer be improved.
It is naturally impossible for Rorschach to accept this choice, which is tantamount to whitewashing. It is not that he is short-sighted and greedy, which has endless consequences. Just judging from his current record in Black Iron, the next level with the lowest difficulty is also a supernatural world like "Underworld" and "Public Enemy" where the enemies are not afraid of light gunfire. He can enter it in a state that is worse than ordinary people. There was almost no chance of survival.
As for the other oneit's much simpler.
"It's in line with the nature of our adventurers to be reluctant to give up all our strength. I don't think you are a single-minded fool who believes in justice. Why don't you just give up this life completely and become a dead man?" The old man nodded. It seems that I am also inclined to this choice. With interest, I put my five fingers together and grasped them. My warm palms were like black holes, outlining countless vortexes of dark purple violent energy.
In this way, he played with the power of shadow that was opposite to his temperament. In the blink of an eye, the holy church was rippled with the cold fluctuations of the purple ocean. The whole person looked like an evil master hidden in the light. Then he said lightly: "Look Although I once served as the Pope of the Holy Light Church in Azeroth, my achievements in the Path of Twilight and Shadow are actually higher than those of the Holy Light. If I take action, I can easily erase that How about a piece of fragmented spiritual force field to ensure that you won¡¯t be taken away?¡±
Luo Xia did not agree after all.
Although from a rational point of view, sacrificing a fragile living body to become a smaller version of the Lich King who is not afraid of swords and bullets, has huge magical power, can not only manipulate and influence the minds of others, but can also become stronger as he kills, it is actually a good deal. of trading. But as a young man from the Chinese dynasty who received a traditional education, he instinctively rejects such an extreme path that will end his family's descendants.
What¡¯s more, he also learned from a pastor¡¯s unintentional leak that there was actually a woman who had suffered the same fate as him and had received perfect treatment in another place.
Because of this, after he came out of these temples, he kept going all the way, and finally came to the door of a Zen monastery.
Different from the splendid, dazzling and holy temples he had just come to, the building in front of him was simple, with adobe bricks piled up to form a circle of high and low courtyard walls. It was as simple as a run-down village that he often passed by in the mountains. If it weren't for the three characters "Wulongyuan" on the lofty plaque, he almost thought he was going in the wrong direction.
"Oolong Courtyard" Luo Xia pondered for a moment, and suddenly felt that he had heard this name somewhere before. It took him a while to remember, "It seems that there was a TV series "Oolong Emperor" that had such a place."
Although he said this, he also put the matter behind him. After all, there are many "Oolong Yuan" dimensions, and one of them is especially famous for a certain popular four-frame comedy comic in Hong Kong.
After he explained his purpose, he was led directly into the deepest Zen room by a young monk and met the abbot.
His appearance, according to a more euphemistic term in martial arts novels, can probably be described as "ancient face". With bulging bones, long eyebrows and a drooping neck, his skin color is soaked with a touch of bronze, which is close to the thin appearance on the Indian side, but He also has a leisurely Zen demeanor, and his figure is completely opposite to those fat and naive masters popular in the market. He is almost skinny and skinny. Although he is an abbot, he is wrapped in a tattered cassock and huddles in a dilapidated room. On the futon, he looks like a poor artist living on the street.
However, Luo Xia felt that this man was a bit unfathomable. It was not the so-called temperament in his eyes, but the first words that this skinny master said gently when he opened his eyes, smiled slightly.
"The poor monk Jiumokong came from the world of the 'Oolong Emperor' mentioned by the benefactor"
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Luo Xia immediately knew that someone had listened to what he had unintentionally said in front of the door, and he couldn't help being shocked.
Capturing whispers as thin as mosquitoes a hundred meters away through a thick stone wall is actually not an exaggerated skill. Any bronze-level physical enhancement can easily do it, but the problem is this place is sealed. A public space with all supernatural abilities, a place where even a gold-level peerless powerhouse who destroyed the planet can only solve problems with words.
Luo Xia took a deep breath, suppressed the surprise in her heart, and replied: "I came here because I want Master to help me get rid of my hidden disease"
This straight-to-the-point attitude was a bit rude, but the monk who called himself Jiumokong was very well-educated and was not angry. He just nodded and agreed, and asked about the symptoms in detail.
After learning what happened to Luo Xia, he raised his eyebrows slightly and asked thoughtfully: "Not long ago, an Oriental woman also came to ask for help, and her situation was quite similar to that of the donor"
Luo Xia nodded and said: "Because of this, I think you should haveMethod. "
This is the reason why Luo Xia expressed hope. That Oriental woman whom Jiumo said was not worth mentioning was actually a famous name to Luo Xia.
Isayama Yellow Spring
The second heroine in the story of "Eating Spirits" is a famous girl with straight black hair, but what is more famous is the killing stone embedded between her eyebrows. In the original work, this girl, who comes from a family that exorcises demons, was implanted with fragments of the killing stone transformed by the evil energy of the mythical nine-tailed demon fox by the mastermind behind the scenes. She was infected by the resentment of the beast that was unwilling to die, and turned into a half-human. A half-ghost evil spirit, unable to control his mind from now on, he killed almost all his relatives and friends with his own hands, and was finally ended in tears by the real heroine Kagura.
Of course, this is a tragic trajectory set in the original work. The girl who came to ask for help has obviously become a reincarnation, and has probably turned her life around and gotten rid of this tragic fate that belongs to her.
"But I'm afraid the donor made a mistake" The Tianzhu monk, who was as thin as a bamboo pole, shook his head, "The evil things in that woman's body are, after all, foreign demons and monsters that are insoluble in flesh, blood, essence, and she also has a certain inherent Wisdom, when it is cut off, cut it off without being disturbed by it And you died because of it, and were resurrected by it, and were reversed by it. You are neither willing to repay the old debt, nor are you willing to cut off the previous relationship and start over again. It's really Greed is enough for a snake to swallow an elephant!¡±
"Thenis there nothing you can do?" Luo Xia was silent for a moment and asked calmly.
"Otherwise," Jiumokong showed an elusive smile, "The grass in Liliyuan will wither and flourish with each passing year. The wildfire will not burn it out, but it will grow again with the spring breeze."
"This is"Grass Farewell"?" Luo Xia was stunned. She didn't understand why a matter related to life and death was related to poetry.
"Your vitality lies in the word 'Withered and Prosperous'. You are like a barren and burning wilderness. If you get green seeds, even if wildfire burns everything, life will continue over and over again. The attack of external demons will only increase its benefits." It's just lush." ??The old monk who pretended to be profound laughed, stopped meditating, and continued: "Although I can't do anything, I happen to know an old friend who can help you."
A moment later, Luo Xia, who was waiting quietly in front of the gate of the monastery, suddenly felt that the front of his eyebrows suddenly "brightened up", as if as the sun rose, wisps of golden afterglow spread from a distance, and then dyed the color of his cheeks. Brilliant feeling.
He raised his head, was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "Is it you?"
"Oh? Have we seen it before?" The indifferent young man, who was wearing a set of dark gold ornate armor, exuded an imposing and majestic aura, looked up at him and asked lightly. road.
