Even though Song Zilian's endurance was higher than that of ordinary people, he had to grit his teeth and try his best to focus on Luban Lock.
Ji Xinyao waited for a while, waited until half of the moxa ball had burned, and when she had passed the most unbearable moment, she took a look at Song Zilian and saw that he was not in pain enough to want to jump out of bed, so she administered the second and third injections.
After a total of six injections, all Ji Xinyao had to do was change the moxibustion balls. After three changes, the course of treatment was over.
"You are quite tolerant. Many patients I have seen said they would rather die than be treated."
Song Zilian wanted to respond to her, but he was afraid that he would lose his temper as soon as he spoke, so he had to use his eyes to express that he actually couldn't bear it much longer.
Finally, after the three sticks of moxa were burned, Ji Xinyao helped Song Zilian take out the silver needle.
Song Zilian then opened his mouth wide and gasped, as if he had just escaped some kind of ordeal, and put the half-untied Luban Lock aside.
Ji Xinyao picked it up and solved the problem easily.
"This Luban lock of yours is different from the ones I've seen before. It seems to be much more precise. There are also more mortise and tenon joints."
Song Zilian nodded, "Actually, I have collected many different Luban locks. They are all in the cabinet. Let me show you."
As he spoke, he walked to the cabinet on the side. When he opened it, he found a display shelf inside which contained various Luban locks, but without exception, they were all in the shape of an apple.
"These are all solved and put together," he introduced.
Ji Xinyao tilted her head in confusion, "Why are you so obsessed with this shape?"
She has also seen many people who like to play with decryption toys such as Luban Lock Nine Chains, but she has never heard of someone like Song Zilian who is obsessed with one shape and one type.
"Because someone told me that apples are forbidden fruits, and I like them." Song Zilian explained seriously.
Ji Xinyao quickly stopped him, "Do you know what forbidden fruit means? You can't talk nonsense."
Song Zilian's deer-like eyes blinked, "Doesn't it mean that you can gain wisdom? People ate the apple and gained wisdom, and God was angry because of this, so he drove people out of the Garden of Eden." After he finished speaking, he sighed again.
He said, "God is so stingy."
Ji Xinyao thought about it and realized that he was right.
"Then do you know who gave the apple to Adam and Eve?" She approached Song Zilian and chatted with him.
"Lilith." Song Zilian replied decisively.
"You actually know that Lilith has something, Song Zilian."
She thought he would answer like a normal person about snakes or demons.
"That person also told me about the Dead Sea Scrolls. Lilith was the first human being created by God. She knew everything about God. She was a smart and rebellious girl, while Adam was just a fool.
God favored him, and he relied on God's love to ask Lilith to obey him."
Ji Xinyao nodded. Although she knew the story, she didn't mind hearing it from Song Zilian. She usually only told stories to others when doing tasks. She knew a lot of myths and stories from all over the world, and generally wanted to
Used when inspiring other people's minds.
"It seems that God is not only stingy, but also favors boys over girls." Ji Xinyao started to praise him.
"So Lilith went directly to find God Theory. She asked God why I am different from Adam. He is so strong but I am so weak. God said that the power of a man is to protect you who are weak. Lilith was not willing to
, she told God that I don’t want to be weak, I want to have absolute power, I want to surpass Adam, and I want Adam to surrender to me.”
This is also Ji Xinyao's idea.
She absolutely does not want to succumb to men. She always wants to change the world. Although she can no longer remember what happened before she joined the Quick Travel Bureau, her heart is similar to Lilith's.
"Lilith is disobeying God. Disobedience to God is a serious crime." Ji Xinyao said with a smile.
If you want to change, you must pay a price.
Song Zilian turned his head, quietly observed Ji Xinyao's expression, and then continued, "So God punished Lilith. After being punished, Lilith returned to the Garden of Eden. He became more and more angry in the Garden of Eden, and quarreled with Adam again,
During the quarrel, Lilith immediately said the secret name of God. As long as she could say the name of God, she could draw on God's power, so she escaped from the Garden of Eden."
"Everyone in the world is praising the Garden of Eden, but she wants to escape. It's really amazing." Ji Xinyao praised.
"Xinyao, if it were you, would you want to escape?"
Ji Xinyao nodded affirmatively, "Of course, staying inside is just a pet raised by God."
"Perhaps Lilith thinks so too. After she escaped, Adam cried to God every day about losing his wife, so God sent three angels to take Lilith back, but at this time Lilith had already combined with Satan. God
Then she had no choice but to turn her into a monster with the head of a human and the body of a snake."
"It's not a big problem. Doesn't Satan also have ram's horns?"
Ji Xinyao thought that both of them had become monsters, so they were somewhat compatible.
"Speaking of sheep, it's strange. In the East, they are obviously a symbol of docility, but in the West, they have become a symbol of devil." She said. She turned her head and looked right into Song Zilian's eyes.
Ji Xinyao suddenly realized that he was similar to Song Zilian in some sense.
It looks harmless to humans and animals, but there is a scary side...
"After Lilith turned into a snake, she hated God and developed sympathy for Adam and Eve who were raised by God, so she tempted them to eat the forbidden fruit."
After Song Zilian finished telling this story, he stared deeply at Ji Xinyao.
Ji Xinyao just applauded calmly and had no other reaction.
"You were the one who gave me that apple." Song Zilian tried to say seriously again.
"It's just an apple, there's no need to remember it for so long." Ji Xinyao thought that this might be a story between the original owner and the original Song Zilian, so she didn't pay much attention to it.
Song Zilian lowered his eyes and remained silent.
Ji Xinyao walked to the cabinet with the Luban lock and sighed, "It's too difficult for you to play now. I won't be able to finish it tonight. Can I play with something simpler?"
"Can."
"Then I'll give this back to you." Ji Xinyao returned the Luban lock on her hand to him, then randomly selected a good-looking apple and lay on Song Zilian's bed to play with it.
Song Zilian also continued to untie the Luban lock on his hand, and the two of them went about their business in silence, until Song Zilian yawned sleepily.
Ji Xinyao had slept in the afternoon and was not sleepy. She completely opened the Luban lock and found that Song Zilian had fallen asleep.
She couldn't just leave the broken mortise and tenon here, so she whispered, "Then I'll take it back and put it together?"
Ji Xinyao carefully got out of bed, put the mortise and tenon in the small pocket of her maid uniform, and prepared to leave.
Suddenly, Song Zilian called her.
"Xin Yao."
Ji Xinyao turned around.
Song Zilian still had his eyes closed and showed no sign of waking up.
It turned out that I was talking in my sleep.
She ignored him and planned to continue walking forward, but Songzi's voice rang again.
