I am very interested in the ability to read

Chapter 171 Environment
"water……"

Kurapika's throat was dry and hoarse, he slowly opened his eyes, and there was a double image on the white ceiling.

The "di", "di" and "di" sounds in my ears are very regular. Is this in the hospital?

Memories slowly emerge.Xianshui Mountain, Fire Red Eye, Clue, Patriarch, Teleportation, Divine Word Space, Fire Red Eye, Fire Red Eye, Jing Yang...

"You're awake." Someone said next to him.

Kurapika rolled his eyes, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw Jing Yang and Xiao Di.

Xiao Di was sitting at the side reading a book, looked up when he heard the movement, and quickly lowered his head to turn a page as if nothing had happened.

Jing Yang sat with his legs crossed, looking at something in his palm, like scraps of paper, or... rice husk?
It was Jing Yang who spoke.

"The operation went well," Jing Yang said to Kurapika, "Now you have cut off the roots of your troubles and become a beautiful girl."

As he spoke, he pointed to a glass of water beside Kurapika's bed.

Xiao Di looked up at Kurapika in surprise.

"Stop joking around..." Kurapika sat up helplessly on the hospital bed.After lying down for too long, I still feel a pang of weakness.

After sitting leaning against the head of the bed, he suddenly groped under the quilt twice, and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Jing Yang couldn't help laughing.

Kurapika just pretended nothing happened, took a water glass and killed him in one gulp.

Jing Yang clenched the rice husks in his hand, and suddenly said: "As a matter of fact, in a situation like yours, have you never considered the idea of ​​recruiting beautiful women and spreading the blood of the Kuluta clan?"

"Why do you have to emphasize beauty?" Kurapika said with a pale face, "According to your despicable way of thinking, as long as the other party is a woman."

"Oh, mine." Jing Yang nodded.It was clear, from Kurapika's character, he couldn't accept the act of polluting his feelings purely for the purpose of planting seeds.

"Besides, I'm only 14 years old."

"Well, a 14-year-old boy who can pick up whether his partner is a beautiful woman or not."

"Since when have I been picky?!"

"Oh, I don't deny that I'm a beautiful boy..."

With veins throbbing on Kurapika's forehead, he took a deep breath, and stopped bickering meaninglessly with this childish boss.

"So you're quite energetic." Jing Yang smiled, "Then we can talk about business."

Xiao Di immediately understood, closed the old book he was reading, and raised his hand to realize a vacuum cleaner.The popeyed fish opened its mouth wide, spit out two solution jars, and placed them by Jing Yang's hand.

In the two glass jars filled with the solution, there is a pair of eyeballs floating in each.

In the four pupils, the unquenchable anger in the eyes at the time of death is permanently retained, and it is a fiery red known as one of the seven beauties in the world.

Jing Yang handed them to Kurapika.

Kurapika looked at the two pairs of eyeballs floating in the solution, unconsciously showing sadness in his eyes, "What's the point? I'm the only real Kuruta tribe left. Even if I have children in the future, they will still be of mixed blood."

Jing Yang said: "I didn't expect that you are still a racist."

"When the Kurutas were still around, I wasn't." Kurapika said, "When only I'm left, I seem to be."

He raised his red eyes that seemed to be burning with fire, "I must remember everything about the Kuruta, including the hatred we bear."

"Be positive, who said you are the last Kuruta?" Jing Yang clapped his hands and reminded, "Have you forgotten the ultimate goal of our organization? The dawn of dawn is the light that sweeps away the darkness. The way of redemption lies in Among them." He pointed to the two cans on Kurapika's quilt, "They can also come back, Boss, I believe in your potential."

Kurapika remained silent, raised his hand to manifest a dolphin bookshelf, took out the sixth volume "Resurrection" from it, and sealed the two pairs of fiery red eyes in the book.

The dolphin bookshelf and the six books dissipated as mind energy, and the color of Kurapika's pupils also returned to normal, and the size of the mind energy on his body dropped accordingly, and he breathed a little tiredly.

"The good news is that we are inadvertently getting closer to our ultimate goal."

Jing Yang spread out his hands, and there were some crushed rice husks in his palms, "The thing you said before may be hidden in the stone-longevity rice."

Kurapika was taken aback, recalled the previous events, and asked in surprise, "This is Nitolomi?"

"Not sure, because I didn't eat it. But I guess it is." Jing Yang said, pouring the rice husks on Kurapika's quilt, and said slowly, "But I asked that Ryan, they Black Mist The lifespan of a lion is not much different from that of a human being, so the great elder can live for hundreds of years, obviously it has something to do with the bowl of rice that King Zhenwu gave him..."

"Wait first." Kurapika asked suspiciously, "What Lion? What Grand Elder?"

Xiao Di also had question marks on his head over there.

She seems to have forgotten all about the passer-by roles of the Black Fog Lion...

"I'll tell you later." Jing Yang pointed at Xiaodi, then turned his head and continued to explain to Kurapika, "Then let's start from the beginning and talk slowly."

Therefore, Jing Yang received him and Xiaodi in the middle of the night to receive a call from Us on Kurapika's mobile phone, and then they followed the signal of the star mark on Kurapika's body to find the Kamavor Mountains and get acquainted with Black Mist The matter of the Lion Clan, as well as the relationship between the patriarch and the Black Mist Lion, the story about the Great Elder of the Black Mist Lion and Kajin’s legendary Zhenwu Emperor three or four hundred years ago was succinctly told...

After hearing this, Kurapika couldn't help but fell into deep thought, and then asked, "Why did the rice wither so quickly after it was unsealed?"

"Ask on point!"

Jing Yang slapped the hospital bed violently, making Kurapika frown.

"Yeah, why did it suddenly wither?" Jing Yang said, "Because it has been stored for too long, it oxidizes when it encounters air? But you see, these rice husks are not much different from ordinary rice husks, and they are not like oxidized and decayed cultural relics." It will completely rot like that, turning into powder and disappearing with the wind."

"It's not so much that they're broken, it's better to say that after they were unsealed, they changed from a god that can prolong life to an ordinary rice..." Kurapika said thoughtfully, looking through the scene You can find some shriveled rice grains from the broken rice husks that have fallen down.

Jing Yang said: "Because of this, I originally wanted me, Xiaodi, you, and Ous to divide up these Nitolomi, but Ous didn't want it in the end."

The strange thing of unknown origin is thankful for your insensitivity. On the one hand, this thing starts to rot when you take it out, and Acoustics can't take it away.

Unless the moment it is taken out, it is poured directly into the pot and steamed.

The shelled kind.

Kurapika obviously immediately thought of this, and asked, "According to your report, the elder of the Black Mist Lion said that what the True Martial King Wei Hugo gave him to eat was not raw rice, but hot rice." white rice. Judging from the results, he did experience the life-extending effect of Nitolomi."

While thinking, he said: "① Even if the rice looks rotten, it is still edible and effective. ② Because of the different ages, the Nitolomi obtained by Zhenwu King Wei Hugo was able to Eat, but now it will only decay uncontrollably, and it is inedible. ③ Before Nitolomi is cooked, it must rely on a special environment to keep it normal, and Zhenwu King Wei Hugo knows this well."

Jing Yang raised three fingers one after another, "①, these shriveled rice grains after decay, even if they are cooked, they are very shrunken, and I am afraid it is difficult to eat. Ptolomy sealed in stone? This possibility can also be eliminated. Then only ③..."

"Divine character space." Jing Yang and Kurapika said in unison.

Kurapika recalled: "In that place, my physical strength, qi, and even my mental will were worn out very quickly, and it was difficult to recover..."

Even with this kid's tenacity, he couldn't help frowning when he recalled the more than ten days in the divine word space.

"Do you think that place is..." Jing Yang wondered, "Wei Hugo reproduced the environment of the Dark Continent through the divine characters?"

If Nitolomi can only exist normally in a certain special environment before being put into the pot, then no matter what you think, this so-called special environment is also related to the Dark Continent.

Kurapika nodded and said, "This is the only conclusion we can draw for the time being."

"Guess right? When we land on the Dark Continent in the future, we can take out these rice and see the truth." Jing Yang said with a smile.

What he thought of was actually Netero's description of the Dark Continent in the comics.

Before V5 concluded the treaty of inviolability of the Dark Continent, the adventurers in the human world who were keen to go to the Dark Continent, full of curiosity and desire to explore, could be said to be like crossing the river.

Even after the conclusion of the treaty by V5, there are still some people who are still headstrong, sneaking across the boundless dark sea to explore the boundless continent.

The survival rate can almost be said to be approximately equal to 0.

The reason why it was agreed to was because there was a special case of a strong man like Nitero who came back alive.

According to Nitero, what he himself pursues is the strength of the outcome between individuals. In Jing Yang's understanding, it is the so-called strength of "determining life and death when deciding who is superior".

But Nitero believes that the Dark Continent does not have the kind of power he wants to pursue. There is only extremely harsh nature, that's all.

Harsh natural environment...

Jing Yang recalled Kurapika's emaciated posture when he was just rescued, and he was about to die, and thought: "In the Dark Continent chapter of the manga, I haven't seen Biyang De and the others make any special personal protection preparations. ...Is it because the story hasn't unfolded to that point yet?"

If the natural environment of the Dark Continent is really so harsh, it would be too unreasonable for even a person with basic power like Kurapika to be tortured into this state after more than ten days.

"It's a pity that the divine characters in the divine character space dissipated quickly, otherwise we must study it carefully." Jing Yang said.

Kurapika said: "There is not enough evidence, and many of them are speculations now. Whether that space is a simulated environment of the Dark Continent will not be known until later."

"If it is true, it seems that the preliminary preparations to be made are more than we expected."

Jing Yang couldn't help feeling emotional, and found that Kurapika was looking behind him strangely, he also turned his head to look, and immediately drew a black line on his forehead.

Xiao Di released the cracked black jade Buddha statue at some point, and was observing it curiously.

Kurapika said: "I heard you right. You just said that this is a statue enshrined in the temple by the Black Mist Lion Clan. It was a Buddha statue carved by Zhenwu King Wei Hugo..."

Jing Yang coughed lightly and said, "You don't need to add so many attributives. Well, yes. The classmate Dorayi in our organization is very conscious of not being a thief."

Or should I say, Xiao Di is indeed a thief who will join the Phantom Troupe in the original timeline?
The ultimate intention of thieves, isn't it!
Regarding this point, a few days ago when Jing Yang was surprised by Xiao Di's "following the sheep", Xiao Di rarely denied Jing Yang's statement.

"It's not just taking the sheep by hand." She corrected Jing Yang very seriously at the time, "Things that are not important are considered to be taken by hand."

Jing Yang was a question mark at that time.

"This statue is very beautiful. I decided to take it when I saw it in the temple for the first time." Xiao Di said solemnly, "So I didn't just take it by hand."

...It was deliberate snatching, right?

Jing Yang recalled that Xiaodi said at the beginning that she likes books, chess, and jewelry...

Normally, she looks like she is indifferent to the world and doesn't get in the way of anyone, but that's just because she has less personal desires.It's not that she doesn't hinder anyone, but that few people hinder her.

The Buddha statue left by Wei Hugo is really beautiful, like a magnificent black gem, even if it has lost its spirituality and is full of cracks, it is full of broken beauty, no wonder Xiaodi will like it.

Kurapika stared blankly at the black jade Buddha statue, and unconsciously frowned, "Kajin, the statue..."

"What are you muttering about?" Jing Yang asked strangely.

Kurapika frowned and said, "I seem to have read some records in a book, related to the ancient relics of the Kajin Kingdom..."

"Don't bother if you can't remember it." Jing Yang said, "Take good care of your body. There will be a wedding in a while and we are going to join in the fun. Haven't you forgotten?"

"Wedding, red eyes. How could I forget?" Kurapika collected himself and asked suddenly, "How long have I been asleep this time?"

Jing Yang said: "You have been lying in this hospital for a week."

"That wedding was in November..."

"It's in November—" Jing Yang couldn't remember it either. He looked back at Xiao Di, opened his mouth to speak, and then turned back. He thought for a moment, "Forget it, I'll call me later to ask about the melody. Let’s go together, take a car, and look a little bit more swagger.”

"In short, take a good rest. Not only your body needs to recover, but also your strength must be recovered." Jing Yang smiled, "I guess you don't need to play, but you don't want to hold back, do you?"

"Yeah." Kurapika closed his eyes, then opened them, "Then I'm hungry."

"Okay, the patient is the biggest."

Jing Yang got up to say hello, and pulled Xiaodi, "Let's go, get some food for our Kubao. Oh, don't look, you're not as handsome as me!"

Xiao Di swallowed the black jade Buddha statue with a pop-eyed fish, and was led by Jing Yang to leave the ward, wondering on the way: "Why did it become this material?"

"Who knows? Maybe Lao Wei, like you, belongs to the materialization system..."

The materialization system can even transform itself, body shape, motorcycle, airplane, and Gundam... Then it seems not surprising that a rock can be turned into a lump of black jade.

Thinking of this, Jing Yang took out his phone and planned to take a photo of the black jade Buddha statue and send it to Maotu Biyou, so that he could consult her, an expert.
