Chapter 7: The Sage of the West
The alchemists of other peak veins came very quickly. After Zhang Shen realized their existence for a few minutes, a few figures appeared at the door, tall, short, fat, thin, men, women, and young. Several people completely blocked the door, and even a mosquito could not come in.
Although the other peak meridians cannot be maliciously snatched when the rotation of the peak meridian alchemist invites the newcomer, I am standing here and without saying a word, you can't say how I am.
Fei Luzi's eyes twitched and pretended that he didn't see it. After all, this was the case with his peak meridians at the beginning...
Zhang Shen glanced over and found that although these people were expressionless, they seemed to be playing sculptures, in fact, the moment his eyes swept over, they released a ray of spiritual fluctuation showing goodwill.
"We are from the Feixian Peak lineage from Kunlun Twelve Days, our lineage..." Fei Luzi complained that these guys were so fast that they were like wild dogs smelling the smell of meat, while introducing the Feixian Peak where they were at the fastest speed.
Tongtian Peak, Yuxu Peak, Feixian Peak, Kunwu Peak, Liguang Peak, Bailian Peak, Lianqiao Peak, Yunlu Peak, Weixia Peak, Luge Peak, Jingqi Peak, Fenghui Peak, this is the top of the mountain where Kunlun twelve days is located.
Although it is divided into twelve peak veins, there is actually no particularly serious internal dispute between alchemists. At most, it is because of the inactive concepts that they don’t like each other. They are just at the level of language. There has been no bloody battle yet.
Zhang Shen had already gained a certain understanding of Kunlun, the holy land of alchemists, through various books on the market. At this moment, he heard about Feiluzi's Balabala and had further knowledge of the situation in Kunlun's twelve days.
"that……"
As soon as Zhang Shen opened his mouth, his eyes swept over in unison.
Their eyes did not contain malicious intentions, but the spiritual pressure brought by their powerful souls still existed. If Zhang Shen was really a weak young man, he would probably faint at this time.
"I think you all misunderstood something."
"I have never said that I should join Kunlun and learn alchemy by learning to learn alchemy."
Hey??!!
Everyone, including Qian Long, was stunned.
"You, what did you say? Can you say it again?" Fei Luzi's face was a little wrong and he said in a deep voice.
The inheritance of alchemists is not a sect but a master-apprentice system. In order to allow disciples to go further on the path of alchemy, no slightly famous alchemist will accept more than three disciples, so as not to be able to teach well and mislead their children.
Because of this, among alchemists, the relationship between master and apprentice is very important, and often it is even more than the relationship between father and son.
Zhang Shen did not explain much, squatted down, picked up a piece of hard object, and stroked it on the ground. Lines appeared one by one. As Zhang Shen's thoughts moved, a simple pattern appeared in front of everyone in a blink of an eye.
On the outside is an impeccable circle, with an equal hexagon inside, and then inside is a very random triangle. On the three patterns, several messy lines intertwined into a weird symbol.
Qian Long stretched his neck and took a sneak look. It was obviously a very simple pattern, but for no reason he felt dizzy or even suffocating.
When I looked at Fei Luzi and others again, I only took a look and felt like I was facing a great enemy.
After looking at it for a moment, cold sweat began to slide down their foreheads.
Fei Luzi took out a magic weapon that was somewhat similar to the compass from his arms. While muttering something in his mouth, he fiddled on the compass with his hands. His hand speed was extremely fast and he could see a faint afterimage of his fingers. Judging from his appearance, he seemed to be calculating something.
Alchemy uses reaction techniques as the medium; alchemy is a calculation, and Feiluzi’s finger compass is a magic weapon similar to a calculation piece, but it is more advanced.
Fei Luzi's behavior gave everyone a revelation. For a moment, the not-so-spacious first-floor lobby was filled with a "buzzing" sound, which made people irritated.
Zhang Shen refused to comment on everyone's behavior.
That seemingly weird symbol is that I integrate a whole body of alchemy knowledge and do my best to condense all my understanding of the "earth" into such a simple symbol.
This is a whim attempt. Although this symbol that first appeared in the world cannot display all the knowledge related to the "earth" that Zhang Shen learned in his body, not even half of it.
However, even such a whim symbol made the several alchemists present calculate for most of the time, but still couldn't crack it!
After a long time, Fei Luzi put down the algorithm in his hand, wiped the cold sweat all over his face, and chose to give up.
At this time, he realized that his clothes were almost wet with cold sweat, and he could almost twist out the water!
Other alchemists also chose to give up one after another, looking at each other, feeling a little dejected.
"Senior, can you demonstrate the meaning of this symbol for us?" Fei Luzi took a deep breath, stepped forward, bowed and said sincerely.
In the world of alchemists, those who are good at learning are masters, and other ages are all over the world. In fact, the lifespan of top alchemists has long surpassed that of ordinary people, broken through the limits of human life, and can live for hundreds of years.
Feeling the emotional fluctuations emitted by Fei Luzi and others, Zhang Shen's expression moved, and a joy of finally finding the organization arose. For Zhang Shen, fighting and killing was not what he wanted, and this kind of pure scholar who devoted himself to choosing the path was what he yearned for. Unfortunately, things in the world were not controlled by people, and now things have no choice.
Zhang Shen let out a breath, suppressed the chaotic emotions, squatted down slowly, put his palms on the formation, and shouted lightly:
Refining the array and starting it!!
A dazzling silver current burst out like a foot long, like a thousand dragons going out to sea, with a shocking momentum and a terrifying jump.
The lightning comes and goes quickly, and then scatters into the ground, disappears without leaving any trace.
A stone pillar slowly rose from the ground.
Qian Long was shocked by this scene, but Fei Luzi and others couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Especially when he saw Zhang Shen's serious look, he felt that the difference between him and his expectations was too far.
At this moment, changes happened quietly!
The colors of the originally yellow-brown mudstone columns have changed rapidly and varying, full of layering.
Granite, peridotite, basalt...shale, limestone...marble, slate, gneiss...
Fei Luzi was shocked!
He actually saw dozens of common rocks from the stone pillar in front of him that was only one person tall!
Many alchemists can turn mud into stone. However, Fei Luzi deeply understands that Zhang Shen’s move is far more difficult than directly converting soil into rocks!
It not only requires the caster to know the structure of various rocks, but also has considerable requirements for his own soul realm.
The soul is not strong enough to be able to incorporate so many rock structures into such a small size of stone pillars in a short period of time, and it is necessary to not conflict with each other.
In addition to Qian Long, the people present were all young alchemists who had achieved certain achievements on the road to alchemy. They usually had arrogance in their hearts and no one was convinced. It was not until this moment that they deeply understood the truth that there were heaven and man outside the day.
"Thank you for your advice, senior." Everyone thanked them all, and Zhang Chan accepted it calmly.
"Observing the techniques of seniors should be alchemy in Western countries," someone noticed that Zhang Chan was different from alchemy when he was refining, and recognized the source and asked, "Maybe Seniors just returned from Western countries."
The railways between the two countries have been abandoned for some time. In fact, even when the railway was in good condition, the thinking characteristics of the Qing people determined that they rarely became interested in Western countries that were thousands of miles away.
"That's right." Zhang Shen nodded, thought for a while, and added, "I grew up in Armestorius. I came back this time to learn about alchemy." In order to reduce the troubles of my identity, Zhang Shen simply came to die without evidence.
In the Qing Dynasty, the fifty surnames were mixed, with blood ties, and clans were like a vast net, covering the entire Qing Dynasty. Zhang Shen, with the appearance of the Qing Dynasty, was also one of the fifty surnames. In order to prevent trouble in identity in the future, he simply "severed" any relationship in the Qing Dynasty.
Zhang Shen believed that in this way, even if someone wants to "recognize his ancestors" for him, the mouse will have nowhere to start.
After chatting for a few more words, Fei Luzi suddenly remembered something, and took a few steps back one after another, his expression changed drastically: "Maybe Senior Zhang, do you want to imitate the 'Sage of the West'??!"
Fei Luzi's words reminded others of everything about the "Sage of the West". For a moment, the expressions looking at Zhang Shen were a little complicated and strange.
"Hey, what's wrong with you?" Zhang Shen was confused and full of doubts.
"Sage of the West? What is that? Is the monster sage next door to Xixing Temple??"
Seeing that Zhang Chan's expression was not like a fake, Fei Luzi and others were even more surprised.
"Senior, you don't even know the sage of the West?"
"What, do I have to know?" Fei Luzi and others looked at the aliens and made Zhang Shen feel a little unhappy.
"Hehe, of course not... I just feel that something is, that's strange..."
Zhang Chan asked about the "Sage of the West".
The so-called "Sage of the West" is a man named von Hornheim, an alchemy master from Armestoris. He traveled through the desert hundreds of years ago to the Qing Dynasty and challenged the alchemist of the Qing Dynasty at that time with his powerful alchemy skills.
At that time, there was not yet the official twelve days of Kunlun, and the alchemists were relatively casual and did their own things.
After coming to the Qing Dynasty, von Hornheim made a general understanding of the situation in the Qing Dynasty at that time, he chose to "make friends through literature" and challenged all the alchemists who were a little famous at that time one by one.
What makes all alchemists feel ashamed to this day is that the original alchemist world was swept by von Hornheim with his own strength, and no one was his opponent!
