"How to enter the mystery? You mean alchemy?" Xiao Xiaotao looked at the young man outside the painting suspiciously.
Angel nodded.
"I don't have the authority to answer this question. Unless you come to Taoxin Theater to find me in person, I can give an answer as appropriate... I said before that invalid questions are still questions, so even if I don't answer your question,
, also need to be eliminated..."
As Xiao Xiaotao spoke, she stared at Angel. To be precise, she stared at the thread of fate wrapped around Angel's body.
Halfway through speaking, Xiao Xiaotao's eyes suddenly froze, and the words that had reached her mouth stopped.
"Wait a minute." Xiao Xiaotao squinted her narrow eyes and stared at the thread entangled in Angel's fate: "Have you... ever refined a mysterious thing?"
As soon as Xiao Xiaotao finished speaking, she denied what she said: "No, the refining failed that time, but have you ever been in contact with the mysterious level?"
Angel nodded: "It does happen."
If there are no accidents, Xiao Xiaotao should be talking about the alchemy in Castle Black. The right time and place were all in place, but in the end there was a lack of "humanity", which led to failure.
Xiao Xiaotao looked Angel up and down, truly seeing Angel in his eyes for the first time.
She had met many mysterious alchemists, but Angel was the first to be exposed to the mysterious level at such a young age.
"Since you have already been exposed to the mysterious level, I can reveal some information to you appropriately." Xiao Xiaotao paused and then said: "There are many ways to advance to the mysterious level. And the authority of my body is only
I can tell you two methods."
"First, the observation method. Through observation, induction, and finally a set of self-adaptive methods for the mysterious new life."
This is a path for those who work hard. As long as you work hard enough, even if you are slightly less talented, you still have a chance to enter the mystery... But there is a chance, but the chance is still very slim, because hard work alone is still not enough, you also need great luck.
Mysterious objects are easy to find, but "reborn" mysterious objects are much harder to find.
"Second, find the strange method. If you find anything that contains "special," and refine it through some special alchemy, there is a certain probability that a mysterious thing will be born."
This is the most orthodox method, but it requires extremely high talent and an extensive intelligence system that can quickly locate the "special" place. In addition, the most critical thing is that it requires special alchemy.
Special alchemy is possessed by very few people and is a lost inheritance.
Moreover, special alchemy is not applicable to everyone. Even if most alchemists obtain special alchemy, they still have to modify the alchemy according to their own circumstances and finally create their own alchemy.
What is meant by "unique" is "non-dual".
This kind of alchemy that is unique to oneself, even if others get it, it can only be used as a reference, and there is no way to learn it.
Therefore, finding a different method sounds simple, but it is also extremely difficult to implement.
Xiao Xiaotao "There are many ways to advance into the mystery, but the difficulty of each method is not low. Now I have the authority to tell you, these are the only two methods."
"These two methods are actually very suitable for you."
…
Xiao Xiaotao "I can tell you a secret secretly."
"————On the mysterious road, sometimes knowing too much can become an obstacle. Only the ignorant can plant unique flowers in the mysterious wasteland."
When Xiao Xiaotao said this, she stopped and said, "I have answered your first question. Now you can ask your next question."
Angel was actually still digesting the answer given by Xiao Xiaotao. However, time was very tight now. When he heard Xiao Xiaotao's inquiry, he could only put digestion aside for now.
"My second question is...my path forward."
"What's the way forward?" Xiao Tao asked back. "If you want to ask, ask specifically. I won't answer with vague words."
Angel originally wanted to take advantage, but now it seems that this is no longer possible.
He thought for a while and said
∶ "How to advance? Including the road to true knowledge, as well as future advancement barriers...etc.,
This question was what he decided to ask after discussing with Laplace. No external force is more important than his own strength. Angel's current strength is still too weak.
This question was obviously simpler than the previous one, but Xiao Xiaotao thought about it for a long time before shaking her head and saying, "I'll give you a chance to change the question."
"Change question?" Angel and Laplace looked at each other. Is this question difficult to answer?
Moreover, doesn't it mean that as long as you ask a question, even if you can't answer it, the number of questions will be consumed. How can I change the question again?
Xiao Xiaotao seemed to see what Angel was thinking, and snorted coldly: "You are just a light of consciousness, and what you can see is limited. Moreover, I tried to find your physical body through consciousness, but found that I couldn't find it at all, or
Either your body is protected by a higher level of energy, or it exceeds the range of my authority."
"So, I can't answer this question."
"Since I can answer your question this time, but I am unable to give the answer due to an accident, I allow you to change the question."
Xiao Xiaotao gave an explanation, which could be summed up in one sentence: She couldn't sense where Angel's body was.
According to Xiao Xiaotao's guess, Angel's physical body may have exceeded the range of her perception. However, Angel has a guess that it may be because of Sawa or the queen's power floating above the physical body, making Xiao Xiaotao unable to
Feel the physical body.
No matter which situation it is, there is no need to consider it now. What should be considered is: What problem should be changed?
Angel actually had a lot of questions he wanted to ask, including the past of Dodolo, the future of the Dream Crystal Plains and the Dream Wilderness, the prospects of the Land of Heart... and so on.
But after thinking about it, he realized that none of these issues were particularly urgent.
At most, it satisfies one's own curiosity and cannot solve any practical problems.
Rather than these questions, it would be better to ask about the "disaster" related to Laplace that Xiao Xiaotao mentioned just now.
If the disaster is a disaster, at least we can take precautions in advance.
Moreover, these three questioning opportunities were obtained by Laplace through his "whale sucking water" performance. It is only natural that more questioning opportunities be used on Laplace.
…
Angel didn't hesitate any longer and asked directly: "My question is... what do you mean by the 'disaster' related to Laplace you just mentioned?"
Hearing Angel's question, Laplace frowned and wanted to say something, but finally stopped.
As for Xiao Xiaotao, she didn't care who the protagonist of the question was, as long as it was a question.
Xiao Xiaotao did not answer Angel's question immediately, but controlled the ballet dancer's body to perform a robot's movements in the oil painting.
One click after another, and even just from the screen, it seems that you can hear a "click" sound.
"Look, what do I look like now?" Xiao Xiaotao asked.
Angel hesitated for a moment and said softly: "Nutcracker? Robot? Doll?"
Xiao Xiaotao's expression was joyful, and her snake neck shook left and right, showing a trace of a heart: "Congratulations, you got the answer right. What I acted is exactly a puppet."
Angel: "...Is this related to the disaster?"
Xiao Xiaotao swayed the snake's neck again: "That's right, Disaster is just a puppet."
Angel: "..."
Hearing this answer, Angel suddenly regretted it. He originally thought that "disaster" referred to a certain disaster that was about to befall Laplace, but it turned out that "disaster" was the name of a puppet.
This is too different!
If I had known this earlier, I might as well have asked about Tatolo's past.
While Angel was complaining silently in his heart, Xiao Xiaotao continued: "Do you find this answer disappointing?"
Naturally, Angel would not reveal what he was thinking: "No, I was just thinking, what is the relationship between the Doom Puppet and Laplace?"
Xiao Xiaotao laughed slyly, but did not expose Angel's lie, and continued: "Although disaster is just a puppet, its existence is a disaster... It can even destroy the world."
Xiao Xiaotao suddenly lowered her voice: "Even a world as huge as the Gerson Mirror Realm may be destroyed by it. If disaster comes to the White Sun Mirror Realm, what do you think it will be like?"
Angel subconsciously asked: "What scene?"
Xiao Xiaotao gave a mysterious smile, "You will know when the time comes, because it has already flown towards the Sun Mirror Region."
Before Angel came back to his senses, Laplace seemed to have thought of something: "You just mentioned the Gosen Mirror Realm. Is this disaster puppet related to the migration of the singer, Hansen?"
Laplace also asked about what happened to Goshen Mirror Realm before, but Xiao Xiaotao did not give an answer. But this time, she nodded: "Yes, the disaster that Goshen Mirror Realm encountered was exactly
Brought by Hulifa the Doom Puppet."
"Hulifa the Doom Puppet?"
Xiao Xiaotao "The name of the disaster puppet is Hulifa."
"How can a puppet destroy the world?" Angel still couldn't believe it. Could it be that this puppet is the devil?
But even if the Abyss Demon God comes to the Gossen Mirror Realm, he may not be able to do anything.
According to legend, there are miraculous creatures in the Goshen Mirror Realm... You must know that the peerless great demon in the abyss is at best close to a miracle.
So, what is going on with this puppet?
Xiao Xiaotao: "Because Hulifa is a disordered puppet..."
...Disorder?! Mysterious thing!
…
Angel suddenly looked up at Xiao Xiaotao, who nodded and gave a definite answer: "Yes, Hulifa is a mysterious thing. If you have been to the Lawful Guild, you will know that Hulifa
It’s famous... Also, Hulifa is not the only puppet of this mysterious thing... "
Xiao Xiaotao didn't hold back this time and directly told the story about the disordered mysterious puppet.
In the pan-plane where many gods believe in, there is a craftsman from the Kingdom of God who carved a statue of an attendant angel that entrusts the wishes of all living beings for the gods he believes in.
This angel statue is carved from pure white wood, with flawless white skin and incomparable purity.
It is also this absolute purity that allows the pure white angel to have consciousness when the carving is completed.
With consciousness, she sensed the wishes of all living beings, so she changed her name to Buisa and entered the world to fulfill the wishes of all living beings.
Buisa's power is very weak. Many times, she can only listen to the wishes of sentient beings, but cannot fulfill them.
Especially those who long for treasures and money, she can only listen but cannot help.
As a result, Buisa differentiated her consciousness and gave birth to a puppet specially used for treasure hunting. This puppet is called Guadura.
After Guadura hunted for the treasure, he gave it to the person who made a wish, only to find that the other person did not cherish the treasure he had found. In order to let the person who made the wish understand the preciousness of the treasure, Guadura created a puppet representing misfortune from his own consciousness.
, this puppet is——Xulifa.
The above is the Lawful Guild's research on this mysterious object, but whether it is true or not is difficult to say.
However, what we can know is that this mysterious thing is one body with three souls.
A puppet has three different forms, they are: Buisa, the wishing puppet, Guadura, the treasure-hunting puppet, and Hulifa, the disaster puppet.
The effect of this mysterious object appears very simple on the first two puppets.
First of all, wishers can make treasure-type wishes to "Wish Puppet" Buyisha. After Buyisha accepts the task, she will change the treasure hunting state and enter the unbounded void as "Treasure Hunting Puppet" Guadura to hunt for treasures.
The value and treasure hunting time vary.
When Guadura finds the treasure, he will return to the wish-maker and challenge the wish-maker with a task. If the wish-maker completes the task, he will obtain the corresponding treasure.
If the wish-maker fails in the task challenge, Guadula will transform into the "Doom Puppet" Hulifa and fight against
Those who make a wish are punished.
Punishment has the characteristic of "must be completed". If the wisher dies before the punishment is completed, the punishment will still not end and will spread to the outside world, eventually turning into a real "disaster".
Until someone completes Hulifa's punishment mission, Hulifa will turn back into the wishing puppet Buisa.
Then, continue a new reincarnation.
After describing the effects of each of the three puppets, Xiao Xiaotao began to talk about the tragedy of Gossen Mirror Realm.
"Generally speaking, Buyisha will randomly appear in front of any wish-maker in the boundless world. I don't know whether the Gerson Mirror Realm is lucky or bad. Not long ago, Buyisha appeared in the Gerson Mirror Realm. "
"She accepted the wish of a wish-maker and sent Guadura to hunt for the treasure, and finally succeeded in bringing back the treasure. However, the wish-maker did not complete the challenge proposed by Guadura, so Hulifa appeared .”
"The punishments given by Hulifa are usually of random difficulty, and this wish-maker happened to randomly arrive in a cruel punishment confinement space."
"In a confined space, all energy, air, and foreign objects will be banned."
"The person who made the wish was not punished and died in a confined space."
"With its death, the confined space began to spread crazily, swallowing up countless spaces in a short period of time. In the process, Hulifa would also randomly select other creatures around her to complete the mission challenge, but it is a pity that Yes, no one completed it."
"So the spread is getting faster and faster..."
"In the end, even the two major races, the singers and the Yusen, couldn't bear it anymore, but they couldn't deal with Hulifa. In the end, they chose some people to migrate."
The above is the outline of the story.
But the story doesn't end here.
Xiao Xiaotao said the last words, which also surprised both Angel and Laplace: "Xu Li *** keeps picking people to challenge, and the people chosen are all random. This time, she randomly We arrived at a member of the Singer tribe who is about to come to the White Sun Mirror Realm."
