Chapter 287 The Gate of Darkness (please vote for me)
"The ritual you have on hand is mostly used by the followers of the Lord of Black Blood..."
Julie said: "But don't be too nervous. Before climbing the Golden Babel Tower, all the mysterious people don't need to make a decision immediately... In fact, I am not targeting you, but most of the extraordinary people. They should never say anything in their lifetime. The Tower of Glory may not even be reached by the Crimson River..."
"Despite this, trying to use nameless techniques and rituals of the same school will obviously lay a solid foundation for the follow-up..."
Zhong Shenxiu suddenly said.
"Yes, you are very smart." Julie was a little surprised.
Although everything is still under control, it is developing as planned, just a little faster.
But isn’t this Li Wei’s learning and understanding, and even his ability to accept, so amazing?
Something strange appeared in her mind, but she touched the abundant US dollars in her handbag and was quickly pressed down.
"That's all for today. I will come here for a drink every two days... Then, we can discuss our experiences about mysterious knowledge together."
Julie stood up gracefully and left the office.
…
Zhong Shenxiu put his hands on the desk and looked at him deeply.
"A sacrifice to darkness?"
He came to the secret room and picked up a bottle of green absinthe.
"It does not require many spiritual materials, only two...and it seems that it can be made up with what the wizard got..."
Zhong Shenxiu picked up the clip, picked up a strange dry petal from the wooden stand nearby, and burned it on the alcohol lamp.
A vague fragrance suddenly spread to the surroundings.
His eyes were a little blurry, but his hands kept moving, opening the cocktail shaker and adding absinthe...
'To prepare a real spiritual wine, not only requires recipes and steps, but more importantly, the participation of one's own spirituality...'
‘This kind of spirituality is similar to the infusion of strong emotions, and there is no quantitative standard at all. ’
'Therefore, medicines in a mysterious sense can only be prepared by individual pharmacists, and the failure rate is still high... Planned production is even more of a luxury...'
Zhong Shenxiu's thoughts gradually drifted away, and when he came back to his senses, there was already a dark green cocktail with bubbles popping out in front of him.
There is also a layer of white mist lingering on the surface of the wine glass, spreading outwards.
'I didn't add dry ice...'
He murmured to himself, and instead of trying to drink it to death, he opened the "Blood of Transformation" again.
Although this classic does not teach people how to pass through the dark door, there is no doubt that the seemingly meaningless hymns and hymns in front of it contain how to meditate, how to leave the body, roam the spiritual world, and reach the spiritual world. The method of the Dark Door!
Zhong Shenxiu let go of his guard and allowed those words full of confusion and madness to disturb his mind.
His will gradually relaxed and his spirit became confused.
An ethereal and melodious song seemed to reach his ears, bringing him back to his senses.
At this time, he found himself standing in an open space.
The surrounding scenery was hazy, as if shrouded in a layer of gray fog.
"Is this the spiritual world? Interesting!"
Zhong Shenxiu nodded and looked at himself. It seemed no different from the outside, but the revolver on his waist and the dagger in his sleeve disappeared.
The only thing left in his hand was the cocktail that was constantly emitting thick white mist.
‘Sure enough... it can be brought in. This feeling is very similar to a dream. ’
Zhong Shenxiu took two steps forward and saw a two-story red-tiled building. The surface was covered with cracks and vines, and countless fungi grew and spread wantonly on it... It seemed to have been abandoned for a long time.
"My vision and physical strength have also become a lot weaker... That's right. It is no longer my brain that maintains my thinking, but my own spirituality. The same is true for maintaining body movement."
This will actually create a very sad situation, that is, when spiritually weak people arrive, even their thinking will slow down, and they will neither be able to think quickly nor run as much as they want, making it look like they have dementia.
Fortunately, Levi's original talent may not have been very good, but under the influence of Zhong Shenxiu, his spirituality increased, which attracted Julie's attention.
"Well...the sense of direction and the passage of time still exist here, but it's just a little blurry, almost like the feeling of being drunk..."
"It seems that only when we reach deeper into the spiritual world, will there be real changes in direction and time will be broken..."
After confirming this, Zhong Shenxiu found a direction and started running.
For other mysterious apprentices, to achieve this would require rigorous training and long-term meditation.
But Zhong Shenxiu seemed to be born this way and it came naturally.
The scenery on both sides receded quickly, and he ran out of the building and came to a wilderness.
There was silence all around, and occasionally you could see a strange black tree that branched into three branches, resembling a trident.
‘A similar scene seems to have been described in “Transmutation of Blood”. This kind of triple tree is the best guide...'
Zhong Shenxiu looked at the ball of dark green liquid in his hand.
I don't know when the wine glass disappeared, but the wine did not scatter or slip away. Instead, it just stayed in his hand, and the white mist continued to flow outward.
The white mist flowed meanderingly, not directly downward, but pointed in one direction.
'Um? Different from the direction pointed by the ternary tree? ’
Zhong Shenxiu's pupils shrank: "Something went wrong? Who is lying?"
"No, both "Transmutation Blood" and this recipe came from Julie. She didn't have to do this... Is that a problem with the original author?"
He thought for a moment and walked quickly in the direction guided by the white mist.
I don't know how much time passed, but suddenly the front of Zhong Shenxiu opened up, and a dark shadow appeared that covered the sky and the sun.
——That's a door, no, it's a huge wall, a dark wall that towers into the sky!
It doesn’t even have a border, but continues to extend and extend to both sides...all the way to the end of Zhong Shenxiu’s field of vision...
"The Gate of Darkness?"
Zhong Shenxiu complained: "This is obviously the wall of darkness!"
At this moment, he seemed to hear a sigh from eternity, and there seemed to be a faint sound of crying coming from the wall.
He thought for a while and did not step forward immediately. Instead, he changed the direction and continued to explore to one side along the dark wall.
I don't know how long time passed, but the white mist on his hand disappeared, and the dark green liquid also disappeared without a trace.
"It's expired..."
Zhong Shenxiu sighed and looked at the still towering black wall in front of him. It stood silently and continued to extend to both sides. It was exactly the same as the first time he saw it, as if he had never moved at all.
"But actually... it has a curvature, even though it's very slight... it's still an internal arc... so both directions are correct and both can reach the Dark Door!"
Zhong Shenxiu somewhat understood the nature of the Dark Gate.
It is a ring-shaped wall that protects the edge area of the spiritual world corresponding to the real world!
Yes, the Dark Door is a protection for everyone!
