Awakening of Rebirth

Chang Sheng glanced at Jiang Zheng lightly, and said, "Is it possible?"

Jiang Zheng sat on the edge of the bed in frustration, and said, "Yes, yes, if Her Royal Highness wants to marry, how can there be no reason why she can't marry? Robbing a civilian man is just a matter of holding a knife on the neck for a few seconds."

"You reminded me that if you dare to talk nonsense in the future, I can put a knife on your neck." Changsheng said, turned around and walked to his bed to sit down, and explained to Baozi who shrank his neck subconsciously: " I mean Ah Zheng."

"..." Baozi subconsciously looked in the direction of Jiang Zheng.

Although I have long been used to having such an invisible and inaudible existence beside me, every time I see Chang Sheng communicating with her, I can only look dazed, feeling a sad and painful trance.

It's like, I'm super redundant... Anyway, I can only hear half of what they say, and if I participate in their conversation, I have to rely on my imagination.

"The two girls I met the night before yesterday are also on this boat." Chang Sheng closed his eyes and said calmly: "Their destination is the same as ours, they are both Wodo, so they hope to be with us. My Highness, after all, I also sneaked out, it is not a good thing to be known by too many people... Moreover, Ah Zheng feels that there is something wrong with those two people, and they may not be trustworthy."

"Then just hide." Baozi said.

"Wodo is shrouded in mysterious power. We may not be able to get in by relying on us alone. Those two people are not bad, and they should have a lot of background. They can cooperate to achieve our goal. If they guessed correctly, they should think so too. Jiang Zheng said, raised the corners of his mouth, and said: "Using is mutual in the first place. The difference between knowing and not knowing is only whether you have prepared yourself in advance. When the time comes, you will be demolished by crossing the river, and you will not suffer too much loss. .”

Changsheng opened his eyes, stared at Jiang Zheng thoughtfully for a while, and then conveyed: "We don't know anything about Wo Duo, maybe we need their help, but they do have unknown origins, and they also hide something from us. A heart is always good."

Baozi was silent for a moment, then took out a few medicine bottles from the bag beside him, put them beside Chang Sheng, and said, "Use it for self-defense, the orange one is for smoke, the white one is sticky, and the red one is for short-term hemostasis and pain relief, but Not much use in recovering from injuries.”

Chang Sheng picked up the small glass bottle containing the black potion, and said, "What about this one?"

"Small area explosion."

"Yo, liquid grenade." Jiang Zheng squatted beside the bed, poked the "grenade" with his finger, and said, "Are these the products of alchemy?"

"Well." Changsheng put the small medicine bottle in his cloth bag, and explained to Jiang Zheng: "Alchemists believe that all forms in the world are composed of several basic elements, and the elements are formed in different ways. The resulting object is also different. So, given the right external influence, stone can be turned into gold."

Jiang Zheng expressed disbelief at this: "Are you kidding? If you really want to do it, people who learn alchemy don't all have the money to buy a car, a house, and the earth. The man marries Bai Fumei, and the woman keeps a pretty face. gone?"

Although Chang Sheng didn't particularly understand Jiang Zheng's "hometown dialect", he still got a general idea of ​​it by brainstorming, and shook his head: "Then I don't know, I've only read this kind of saying in books, Maybe it's just a legend."

"This is not a legend." Baozi guessed Jiang Zheng's question from Chang Sheng's response, and explained seriously: "The teacher once said that Eggert, a great alchemy country, has such a technology, but the gold one The composition conditions are too harsh, and the cost is far higher than the value of gold itself, so Eggert expressly prohibits the refining of gold, but people can still use the same principle to decompose and recompose, turning one substance into another Substances that are more useful to oneself."

Jiang Zheng concluded: "The alchemy here is simply chemistry. It is very similar to our ancient alchemy. It uses some incomprehensible theories to do some weird refining. God's nagging."

"You also say some things that people don't understand every day. You're just talking about it." Changsheng complained with a look of indifference. Seeing Baozi's expression change, he immediately added: "I'm talking about Azheng."

With such an explanation, Baozi's expression softened a lot.

"If you even have the tree of life... Hey, if it's possible, I really want to go to Eggert to learn their alchemy." Baozi fell back on the bed without energy, and murmured softly: "I'm sure I can make alchemy that can cure my sister." medicine."

Chang Sheng couldn't help being a little surprised when he heard this.

Speaking of which, Eggert is located in the northwest of Ainota. It is a dwarf country and a big alchemy country. It has a small population and a small territory, but its comprehensive national strength is very strong. This has a lot to do with their proficiency in alchemy. Relationship.

This is not the first time that Baozi has mentioned his sick sister at home. He said that the reason he worked so hard to get into Verover College was to get better resources to treat his sister's illness in the future. It's better to go to Eggert, and it's normal for Baozi to want to go there.

But she thought that Baozi was short of money, and wanted to become a powerful alchemist and earn money to treat her sister's illness, but unexpectedly, his idea was to refine special potions to treat her sister.

No matter how strong Ren Na Eggert's alchemy is, there are still not many examples of successful use in medicine. How could he want to use this to save people?

He mentioned the tree of life, which reminded Changsheng of the reason why Baozi was persuaded by her to go with him in the first place, wasn't it because of hearing the legend of the tree of life?

"Your sister...is she suffering from some strange disease?" Chang Sheng asked cautiously.

Baozi hesitated to speak for a moment, and finally turned over to face the wall, curled up into a ball, and closed his eyes.

"Beside me is either a younger brother or a younger sister, and I am the most normal." Jiang Zheng jumped onto the bed and squatted with her knees hugged, exclaiming from the tip of her nose, and asked Chang Sheng: "Tell me, what did his sister get?" Doctors can't cure the disease, so we must rely on some messy legends?"

"It's getting late, let's rest." Chang Sheng said, took off his shoes, pulled the quilt at the end of the bed and lay down without answering.

"Just don't ask, it's boring... why is it late? It wasn't long before we came down." Jiang Zheng rolled his eyes, lay flat on Chang Sheng's side, closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep, but his consciousness was extremely wide awake.

No pain, no cold, no hunger, no fatigue, seemingly without desire, but a heart can be filled by any tiny desire.

I want to eat a grain of white rice that everyone can eat, even if it is tasteless.

I want to change into a dress that belongs to this world, even if it is not very beautiful.

I want to imagine that as in the past, I can survive the long night of being unaccompanied after a night of sleep, and welcome the sunrise of the second day.

In fact, what she most wanted was that when she felt a little lost in her heart, she could stretch out her hand to wake up the people around her, and shamelessly let her continue to accompany her...

In the blink of an eye, it has been almost half a year since she came to this world, and it stands to reason that she should have gotten used to it long ago, but she is still not reconciled.

If this immortal soul body is really a punishment for her cheating in her previous life, wouldn't it be too severe?

She clasped her hands together in front of her forehead, swearing in her heart: God, my nature is not bad, if you give me a chance to start a new life, I will definitely turn over a new leaf and never lie again!

Forget it, put down his hands, looked sideways at the peaceful sleeping face of the girl next to him, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth: Anyway, I have golden thighs to hug me, so why do I cheat?

***

After traveling by water for two days, the ship finally arrived at the port of Teba City.

Chang Sheng and Bao Zi packed their luggage, and when they got off the boat, they saw Ye Lin standing not far away and waving to them, so they quickly rushed up, and the four of them walked together in the direction of Wo Duo.

Changsheng is not a talkative person. During the past two months of travel, Jiang Zheng was always chirping in her ears, and her responses were mostly concise. Baozi couldn't even hear Jiang Zheng's words, so the mutual understanding between each other The atmosphere was a little dull.

Things are different now. Although Ye is very taciturn, Lin is a very gentle and talkative girl. Whether it is facing Changsheng or Baozi, she can bring up topics that are not offensive. With her, this journey can be regarded as a good one. Talking and laughing.

As a result of talking and laughing, Jiang Zheng deeply felt that his sense of existence had been reduced several times!

She walked around beside Chang Sheng, even blocking her view many times, acting childishly like a child whose toy was robbed, with a capitalized expression: "Look at me!"

Chang Sheng wanted to hit her but couldn't, wanted to scold her but didn't dare to speak in front of his companions, Jiang Zheng made him laugh and cry.

In the dead of night, she volunteered to stay in the first half of the night. Then, while everyone was asleep, she ran to a place a little far away from everyone's resting place and had a soft talk with Jiang Zheng for a while.

In the mountains and forests, by the pool.

"Can you be quiet during the day?" Chang Sheng was a little dissatisfied. He wanted to say something serious, but he couldn't get it out of his mouth. In the end, it turned into a good-natured explanation: "Yehe Lin is no better than Baozi, they don't know your existence, so you have to be on guard against them, that's what you said...I can't talk to you unscrupulously."

Jiang Zheng looked at the reflection of the moon in the water for a while, then looked up at Chang Sheng with a serious face, and said with a smile: "I know, what are you doing acting like a little adult? 16 years old, you have to be 16 years old."

Chang Sheng didn't correct his age: "You know, then you still..."

"I see you chatting so happily with them, I'm not happy." Jiang Zheng interrupted her with a hint of jealousy.

A trace of surprise flashed in Chang Sheng's eyes.

"What kind of eyes do you have? Young man, let me preach and teach you." Jiang Zheng said, touching his chin, with a mature face: "I said to be wary of them, but you still talked to them You are laughing, do you know that this kind of seemingly aimless small talk is the easiest way to generate trust?"

"..." Chang Sheng's expression clearly said three words: I don't know.

"There is a kind of person in the world who is particularly good at communication. When he wants to please you, he is enthusiastic and inappropriate. Believe me, she is an illusion that she is really good to me." Jiang Zheng folded his arms and frowned: "This kind of woman who has just met for a short time and can make people feel good about her is too scary. Nine out of ten have bad intentions. , keep your distance, understand?"

"How do you understand so well?" Chang Sheng asked.

"Ha...you don't know about that." Jiang Zheng pressed his temple and said, "I've been cheated before, it's all a routine, the more you get cheated, the better you will be."

As she said that, she turned her head and rolled her eyes in a direction that Chang Sheng couldn't see, and said in her heart: "Heaven and earth conscience, my lie is not too much, delete those two words "quiet", it is completely a big truth ah!

"You are the most wary of people I know." Chang Sheng lowered his head and said.

Jiang Zheng couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's also possible that you don't know the people you know at all. Smart people don't easily expose their wariness."

"Are you calling yourself stupid?"

"No one can talk to me except you. I want to be on guard against you..." Jiang Zheng said, closing his eyes and falling to the lawn behind him, saying, "Who else can I trust?"

Her voice was very soft, she answered Chang Sheng, and she was also convincing herself—then she trusted this little girl only because of the word "unique".

A flying insect flew across the water and shattered the moon shadow. Chang Sheng couldn't help looking up at the sky. After a long time, she said, "Didn't you say that when you were young, there was a crabapple plant downstairs that grew new branches every year. It will be pruned every year, but the more it is like this, the more it will bloom when it comes to the flowering season..."

"Don't heat up the old chicken soup I gave you to feed me." Jiang Zheng interrupted Chang Sheng's words, put his hands under his head, and said: "There is no crabapple downstairs in my house, that's what I saw in other people's space 45-degree sad egg hurts little quotes, used to fool you... At that time, if you hadn’t given you some chicken soup, would you have the strength to run back three years?”

Chang Sheng was speechless for a moment.

Jiang Zheng once said that in her hometown, words that sound "soft, warm, reasonable and full of positive energy" are called chicken soup for the soul, and she always dismisses such words every time she hears them.

"After listening to so many great principles, I can't live my life as I should." Jiang Zheng said.

"Yeah." Chang Sheng nodded, and said: "What you said makes sense, but I still have to say, you are too negative."

Jiang Zheng laughed: "I am no longer the little girl in the ivory tower."

"Ivory tower? What does it look like? I'll build one for you when I go back to Taran."

Jiang Zheng couldn't help being taken aback, and subconsciously raised his eyes to look at Chang Sheng, only to see that Chang Sheng was also looking at her, with extremely serious eyes on his immature face, which didn't look like a joke at all.

The two stared at each other for a moment, Jiang Zheng smiled, and Chang Sheng frowned slightly: "What are you laughing at? Is it funny?"

"No!" Jiang Zheng couldn't close his mouth for a while, "I remember this, you owe me a tower."

Chang Sheng nodded, got up and patted the dirt on his body, and said, "Go back and sleep."

Jiang Zheng pursed her lips, got up and howled, and followed behind Chang Sheng: "I don't like the night! Everyone is sleeping!"

"There are times when you like it." Chang Sheng perfunctory.

"How strange this sentence sounds..." Jiang Zheng murmured in a low voice.

***

After ten days of trekking, the destination was Wodo. The group passed through the mountains and forests and passed through several small towns. Finally, after asking all the way, they saw the mysterious mountains surrounded by mist and stretching for thousands of miles. Such a distant look made them uncontrollably excited.

As long as you cross the Vodo Mountains, which are said to be extremely dangerous, you can enter the Vodo Forest and enter the legendary elf territory.

The four people and one ghost have their own concerns, and they are all extremely excited at this moment, and even speed up their pace specially because of this.

While resting, Lin pointed to the mountains in the distance and said, "Asheng, Baozi, have you heard of it? Elves can generally live for about 500 years, but among the elves, there is a legend that they are still immortal for more than 2000 years."

Baozi shook his head, and Changsheng responded, "I have an impression."

Grandmaster Ron once said that among the elves, there is an immortal elf priest who has been guarding the tree of life and even the entire Wodo with his powerful spiritual power for a long time.

The layers of fog on the Vodo Mountains were one of the blindfolds created by this priest, and most of those who could not get in and out were trapped to death by her.

If the tree of life is the source of life for Wodo, this priest is the guardian of the gods that the elves regard as gods.

Jiang Zheng raised his eyes and looked into the distance. He could vaguely sense some kind of powerful force flowing back and forth between the heaven and the earth, and in case of it, it came from a distance. It was cold, wrapping her tightly.

This feeling is too special, something she has never felt after becoming a soul body.

It seems to be a kind of guidance, and it seems that people from afar are calling her.
