Uplifting Journey

It was a small village that had just been washed by the rebels. In the moonless night, Jiang Qing, the new corpse demon who came back to his senses inexplicably from a daze, had the same bluish-black complexion and sharp fangs as ordinary ghouls.

Squatting beside the pile of corpses, Jiang Qing, with a ferocious face, stared blankly at the things he was holding in his hands through his mutated eyes capable of night vision.

One is still slightly trembling, and the other is a bit flat red and white big peach.

But this is the human heart, and Jiang Qing, who has read the medical books collected by Master, can recognize it.

what am i doing

Jiang Qing, who was in a daze, shook his hands, and the meat with an attractive smell and texture fell to the ground.

His eyes moved slowly, his neck stiffened and he turned his head to look around.

In front of him was an indistinct bloody corpse that had been disembowelled, surrounded by a large number of broken human bodies in familiar clothes, and the familiar building wreckage exuded faint smoke among the sporadic flames.

Chaotic memories of frantic and excited howling, the smell of blood and death filled Jiang Qing's mind instantly.

The demon, who didn't need to breathe, felt dizzy, had a headache and suffocated in the confusion of memories. He struggled on the ground like a dehydrated fresh fish, as if an invisible hand was stirring in his mind.

All the memories from childhood to youth, from the books and albums that I glanced at recently, to the blurred lights, shadows and sounds when I was just born, have been dug out bit by bit.

It wasn't until the information completed some kind of integration that he couldn't understand, that Jiang Qing's incomparable headache gradually disappeared, and he took a breather.

"I'm Jiang Qing. Now I'm a demon who eats corpses and eats people."

After a death-like calm, Jiang Qing reached out to pick up the heart that fell from his hand on the ground before, brought it to his mouth and took a tentative bite.

The tough heart was easily severed by the sharp teeth, and Jiang Qing swallowed the mouthful of flesh and blood without the slightest resentment or resistance.

Something invisible was released from the chest and abdomen along with the flesh and blood, and mixed into the health-preserving qi that Jiang Qing had formed after studying medicine for several years. Now maybe it should be called yin qi, corpse qi, devil qi or something

The body seemed to become stronger, but the desire for flesh and blood was also heightened. Jiang Qing silently felt the changes in her body, and then threw away the broken heart in her hand.

"Why do demons want to eat people? Even human corpses?"

The demon with a strange change in his spirit slowly stood up, and murmured to himself: "What is the difference between eating people and eating other things? What is in the human body that the demon wants to eat? Blood? Yang?" Qi? Soul? Which one is strengthening the power of the demon?"

Hearsay and strange information, occasional common sense teachings by the white-headed old doctor, and pieces of information pieced together are not enough for the country boy who has only been to a small town as far away as possible to understand the answer to the question he is curious about.

The monsters at night had endless energy, so Jiang Qing dug a big hole, walked around the village that had become unrecognizable, threw the corpses of former acquaintances in and buried them, barely buried in the ground.

Then he went back to his half-burned home—the courtyard of his master Dr. Jiang. He took out the books that had survived the flames, and read them under the moonlight that had just appeared.

Under the influence of an unknown force, Jiang Qing, who was originally not very intelligent, found that he had become photographic. After reading it once, all the words and sentences were deeply engraved in his mind.

The act of reading book knowledge touched Jiang Qing's spirit that had just calmed down. As long as difficult and obscure knowledge has a little connection with known information, it will be quickly disassembled and understood in his mind.

The interrelated information was touched in a chain, and another round of memory storm that seemed to be racking his brains faintly showed signs of taking shape. He was so frightened that he quickly shook his head and cleared all his current thoughts.

For some reason, the ferocious face of the corpse demon became slightly normal. After Jiang Qing collected some things that might be used in the village, relying on a certain instinctive sense of smell of the mutated body, he followed the direction where the rebels left.

Follow this wave of chaos, you should be able to find something useful for the corpse demon

I don't know which country's army killed everyone in the village including myself, and I don't know who the other soldiers and generals are, but Jiang Qing turned out the faces of those frenzied people in the memory storm, and he will never forget

Jiang Qing, who was staring at the huge ghoul on the stone platform in the cave, suddenly came back to his senses.

He blinked, looked at the ghoul who was carefully dismantled along the muscle texture between the bones, and each organ was taken out separately but still remained weakly active. He couldn't help but raised his dirty hand and rubbed it. My forehead: "Ah, here we come again"

From the moment he transformed into a corpse demon and awakened his spiritual memory, Jiang Qing would be touched by various things, causing scattered thoughts to spread in his mind like a flood.

A sentence of why will involve more why, and the endless unknown stimulates the growth of something called curiosity.

Information collides with each other, fragments fit each other, the gaps in the puzzle are filled with new concepts, and some things that have never been heard are constructed by the description of known information, and they are naturally implanted in his heart.

In this involuntary soul storm, Jiang Qing could notice an increasingly obvious change in herself——

He transformed from a simple villager and a learner of simple medical knowledge into a monster who yearns for revenge and possesses spiritual wisdom, and then changed rapidly in a strange direction.

He was curious about the sun and the moon in the sky that were changing between yin and yang. He began to measure the basic scales of general units such as length, width, and weight. He explored the relationship between time, power, distance, and angle.

He never imagined that he, who was struggling to recite a decoction formula, would slowly dismember the human body bit by bit, recording every structural detail and every operation process that the human body can understand into it with strict causal logic. In the knowledge system in memory.

Every baptism of information storm makes him stronger and makes him feel more frightened——

For the completely unhuman self, for the little bit of another consciousness manifested in him, for the fear that is gradually obliterated in the wave of information.

"Calm down, calm down." Jiang Qing shook her head, gathering her divergent thoughts again, "...no matter what it is, let me survive and give me a chance to take revenge."

Muttering to himself, Jiang Qing tidied up the fragments on the stone platform, and reassembled the utterly dead ghoul according to the information he obtained during the previous analysis, except for the semi-solidified liquid scattered around and the large piece of skin that had been torn off. , this thing doesn't look too unusual.

After manipulating the magical power in his body to wipe off the smudges on his body, Jiang Qing sighed lightly: "This corpse demon used to be a qi refining warrior, but he still didn't find any meridians related to qi on his body. This kind of thing really Is it just like what is written in medical books, you can only feel it with your heart?"

Jiang Qing came into contact with "Qi", the most amazing thing in the world, when she learned a health-preserving breathing method to regulate the body from her doctor and master.

But at that time, he could only vaguely feel a warm current in his body, and he could not manipulate the mutated qi in his body to produce some practical effects until the corpse turned into a demon.

However, in addition to making up for the consumption of his corpse's actions, this effect can only clean up the dirty things and add some energy to the array plate he picked up, and the charging effect is getting lower and lower.

In contrast, another strange power based on his senses, cognition, and mind is even more magical and incredible.

But Jiang Qing didn't dare to use this kind of power easily - the more he used it, the more frequent the storms of memory and thinking would come, and the changes in his whole person would become faster and more obvious.

A ray of light suddenly flashed on the array disk next to it, shaking like a convulsion to build a blurry image, and then suddenly extinguished together with the light that permeated the cave.

"Broken?" Jiang Qing, who is capable of night vision, blinked, walked to the side and picked up the cracked array disk to look at, and then watched it shattered into powder little by little, apparently unusable.

Jiang Qing sighed—this disk that can manipulate light, shadow and airflow is the most interesting thing he picked up while chasing the battlefield, what a pity

There is no manual to explore and use according to the feeling, and there is no way to end up like this Well, said, Minghe book, manual, this new word that pops up in my mind is easy to understand.

Jiang Qing didn't know that this was a manifestation of the array disk's distorted energy lines caused by frequent consumption of yin qi, and it was overloaded and damaged when it encountered external interference and activated the warning.

On a sunny day, at the entrance of the cave that had lost the shadow of the phantom, a young man in a black robe fumbled inside his wide cuffs, and took out a small sword or dagger with a hint of water ripples in his hand. upside down.

"...It turned out to be an illusion maintained by an unattended magic weapon, but after breaking it, there was no response?"

Hesitatingly looking at the not too deep but very winding cave passage in front of him, the young man patted his forehead helplessly: "The trace looks like a corpse demon, whose sense of life's breath is covered and weakened by the sun in broad daylight. , it's normal for me not to notice that I'm not hiding it.

"The corpse demon can pick up the magic weapon and use it, most likely because he has awakened some wisdom, um, how to deal with this?"

The young man in black robe was not worried about whether he could fight or not.

The lowest level of the corpse demon, even if he leaves his more functional magic weapon, the water flag, to his juniors and sisters who are testing their courage in the mass grave just in case, with the only master's standard water sword he has at hand, he can easily Hack a bunch at once.

He was wondering whether to bring the younger brothers and sisters who had just started to come over for a real fight. After all, they were really only allowed to deal with some lonely ghosts who could only scare people. If they didn't go back, they would be criticized by the teacher for being too loose.

"Anyway, I'm going out for a walk. Apart from eliminating possible dangers, I'm also looking for a suitable target. A wise corpse demon can barely be used."

After thinking about it, the young man thought about sending a message to his water flag in the mass grave not far away, and then walked into the cave with a dagger in his hand.

After all, the real situation of a wise person is more difficult to predict. It is better to go in ahead of time to actually measure the level of the opponent. If it is too difficult, you can first cut two swords to balance it.

Just like that, the black-robed young man who walked into the cave and turned two corners met eyes with the blood-haired young man who turned his head after smelling the smell of a stranger in the dark.

Danger

Smelling the terrifying sense of threat from the practitioner, Jiang Qing sank, and his flesh and blood completed all the preparations before the explosion in a very short tremor.

The young man in black robe who had seen Jiang Qing's strange appearance gave a light snort, but when he saw that he was about to pounce, he had no time to speak, so he could only raise his hand holding the water sword.

There was no way to make a hasty move, he just mobilized the accumulated power of the Shui Xingjian itself, creating transparent waves that converged in front of the sword, erupting forward and sweeping away like a wave.

The semi-enclosed cave set off violent air waves like an explosion, and a large number of fragments flew and fell on the rock wall as if being hit by waves, and then followed the water vortex and airflow.

The momentum of the charge was suppressed by the invisible water waves, and Jiang Qing turned his ankle decisively to retreat to the side stone wall with the force of the water flow.

In the messy scene, Jiang Qing fixed the movement trajectories of a large number of things with his eyes and ears. The simulated images clearly presented in his mind deduced several times like lightning, and his body immediately followed the selected strategy and began to move with incomparable precision.

The black-robed sword-wielding man followed Jiang Qing with his gaze, but he didn't notice that the organs of the ghoul blasted by his sword were flying all over the sky, and a lump of disgusting and tangled intestines just happened to be touched by the returning air waves and Jiang Qing's light touch. around to the eyes.

The field of vision was half obscured by the disgusting things that appeared continuously at close range. The young man subconsciously took a step back and activated the law, and suddenly remembered that the protective water flag was not on his body.

The moment Jiang Qing blocked his sight with the help of sundries, Jiang Qing broke out with all the strength of his body and changed direction. Using his hard nails and powerful force, he used his hard nails and powerful force to run an arc from the ceiling as a flat ground, and then kicked his legs and fell towards the black robe the back of the brain.

The young man who was still looking at the previous direction along the inertial line of sight, realized that when the wind hit his head, it was too late for his body to dodge, but with a thought, the water sword in his hand jumped up automatically like lightning Pare off.

Jiang Qing was caught off guard by the flying sword slash he had never seen before, but the opportunity to get close was rare, if he dodged and gave up, he might not even be able to run away, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and mobilize the power that originated from his mind , covered with his left hand and moved towards the side of the sharp blade.

This small flying sword is obviously far more advanced than the array plate he picked up before. Just looking at the texture, you can tell that it is definitely a magic weapon that blows hair and hair. At the moment of contact, he couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

"If it's just the power of 'moving', there should be no problem"

The white palm slowly touched the flying sword that turned the blade as if spiritually, Jiang Qing's palm was cold, and the extremely sharp blade had already cut off the fine hair on his body.

All the attention was focused on the palm of his hand. The inexplicable words that appeared in Jiang Qing's mind in the past and the phenomena and laws that had been verified recently were all gathered together. Another round of information storm was set off in his heart, and it was accompanied by incomparable clarity. the power of.

Jiang Qing felt the "movement" transmitted by Feijian to his palm through contact, and the mysterious power attached to his palm analyzed it, captured it, and reversed it.

"Crack——"

"Huh? This change. Is it kinetic energy analysis?"

Cheng Bin in the four-dimensional space looked at the changes in the objects he was observing, with a smile in his heart.

"I just said, no matter what the underlying composition and laws of matter are, the existence of human beings means that macroscopic phenomena have something in common, and kinetic energy and classical physical mechanics formulas should still be applicable.

"Then do you want to continue interfering?"

Looking at the information structure that has undergone major changes in his slight touch, Cheng Bin shook his head after thinking for a while.

Except for the rare opportunity to discover the obvious binary information body, Cheng Bin's current intervention is only to help the information body to straighten out its own operation, strengthen its proven logical structure, and at the same time try its best to translate the information element that he recognizes.

In any case, the material aspect of this world is completely different from his past cognition after all. Even if a stable information body is found, it is difficult to fully understand the true content of the information in the absence of material comparison.

Just like the paradox of color blindness that is hard to prove, you can't make a person who sees the sky green paint a real green sky-because the paint he chooses is the same as the green he sees, it is absolutely true blue color.

The basic definition is different, so don't expect to have the same observation results. For Cheng Bin, it is quite good to be able to identify the specious concept of kinetic energy in the consciousness of intelligent life in this world.

"Let's be stable first, it's rare to have someone who can actively cooperate with the intervention of mind energy. Anyway, looking at the development trend, it will be a matter of time before it really intervenes in the material level."
