Chapter 9: Having a Good Brother (Monday Asks for Votes)
- In the heavens and the earth, there is a monster called 'Demon'.
It's neither a ghost nor a monster, and it has nothing to do with a youkai in the usual sense, but it has a similar appearance and will to the previous three.
Demons can either lodge in the human heart or wander in the wilderness, and their essence is that they are born in the aura and manifested in the human world with the power of the gods of the other world.
"There are hundreds of millions of different types of demons, some of them have wisdom, and some of them are just a group of ghosts that live with people's hearts—only one thing is in common, all demons are the family of the gods of the other world."
Yara's words before are still echoing in Su Sun's ears today: "In other words, they are all 'God-made races'!" In particular, the 'First Demon' that was conceived by the power of the Great Demon Tide all possessed the first-generation creation divinity. ”
Divinity, this is how to distinguish demons from ordinary demons and monsters.
As the key to the otherworldly connection to the earth, the demon can also be used as the key to Su Day's activation of the Celestial Scale and the key to other worlds in the future - on the other hand, if he does not hunt the demon and activate the Celestial Scale, then the silver pocket watch will probably be randomly teleported, and maybe he will be thrown into the universe, or even the black hole accretion disk.
Therefore, if you want to use the Celestial Scale, it is best to kill the demons, and it is more reliable to use the breath on their bodies as the basis for teleportation.
And the best targets of all demons are those 'demons' who have information disturbances with the present world and have 'works' as reflections in the world.
In this way, as long as you hunt with them as the goal, you can not only travel to a world similar to their 'corresponding works', but also know the overall background of that world in advance, and even the most important 'plot' and 'character relationship' for the traverser! It's much better than crossing without knowing anything.
And, according to Yara, the demons do more than that.
As a god-made family with extremely rich spiritual energy, the blood of demons can be used as an offering to restore the power of the snake spirit. Of course, it can also be used as a nutrient to water the potted plants of the wisdom tree and give birth to the 'wisdom fruit'.
And the 'Demon Core', which has high-quality divine spirituality and aura, is also a necessary means for Su Sun to quickly accumulate strength and complete his 'awakening' before the aura recovers.
Demons can even give birth to 'transcendent materials' before the era of aura revival!
"Demons are full of treasures!" As he said this, the snake spirit slapped his tail on the floor, revealing the eyes of the old farmer looking at the harvest fields.
Although the truth is true, it is also very difficult to hunt evil spirits, and it is very difficult to find them alone...... But the good news for now is that it's before the era of Reiki revival.
"Speaking of which, this is also the luck of you and me, now is before the era of Reiki revival, everything is in the ascendant, and it will not wake up...... In the general sense, all the demons and ghosts have not awakened, so those who can make trouble at this time and make 'extraordinary events' are basically all 'demons', or 'mysterious organizations' that believe in the gods of the otherworldly void. ”
Hovering over Su Day, who was making a list of tasks in the process of collecting and planning his next move, the snake spirit's tone was quite emotional: "At this time, go out hunting, once you catch one accurately, after the aura recovers, the evil demons will hide among the demons and demons, and it will be difficult to catch them...... That's why I want you to act as soon as possible. ”
"Well, I know both."
Su Sun, whose fingers flickered rapidly on the screen of his mobile phone, and who had quickly written down all the targets, nodded, and then replied, "Hunt demons, and prepare all the materials for the 'Perfect Spiritual Enlightenment Ritual'...... OK, that's it. ”
Pressing the OK button and saving the task, Su Sun felt that he was full of motivation: "Now you can start preparing materials!" ”
The materials for the opening ceremony require liquid gold and silver, blessed mercury, and a variety of special gemstones. To put it simply, it takes money.
For ordinary people, it would be a big problem to just prepare these most basic ritual materials, after all, not everyone can take out so many precious metals and precious stones.
But for Su Day, this is the simplest part.
After all, he has a brother named Shao Qiming!
Shao Qiming's father, Shao Nantian, is a well-known entrepreneur in Hongzhou and even the whole Zhengguo, and the founder of 'Shaw Photovoltaic'.
Shaw Solar is a cutting-edge technology company that researches solar energy, wafers and various high-techs, has a very deep partnership with the local government and the academy of Hongdu, and is also a member of the 'new energy industry' strongly supported by the Zhengguo government, with a great future and rich assets.
And Shao Qiming, as Shao Nantian's eldest son - he also has a younger sister Shao Shuangyue - he is deeply loved, has excellent grades, and is regarded as a future heir, he has recently become an adult, if it is not for the lack of a driver's license, Shao Nantian even plans to give Shao Qiming a sports car as a birthday gift.
The amount of gold and silver required for the ceremony is not large, and the gems do not need to be particularly valuable, and it does not matter if there are impurities. After all, with the exception of 'perfect gemstones', which are almost 100% pure, even man-made gemstones have a certain mystical potency, and there is a question of how much and how little they are.
"Fragments of man-made diamonds, igniting the fire of purity."
"1,200 grams of silver, the moonlight of pure order, melts into a liquid state, and after blessing, it is poured into a round flake, which serves as the foundation of the magic circle and connects the great source of spiritual energy."
"350 grams of gold, derived from the nobility of the light of the flame, melted and stretched into gold threads after sanctification, outlining the foundation of the magic circle and runes, and activating spirituality."
"Finally, add a bucket (20 kg) of mercury, flowing essentia, and after blessing, pour it directly into the magic circle, representing the ubiquitous spirituality of all things."
After confirming the materials again, Su Yan subconsciously complained to Yala: "Then again, why is the mercury calculated with a bucket, the ceremony is so casual!" ”
"You can't buy a gram of mercury - and the mercury of your time is really cheap, so naturally you don't need to cherish it too much."
After checking the prices of various materials on the Internet, it costs almost 190,000 yuan, counting the gems and other scattered materials that need to be ordered according to Su Sun's own numerology and characteristics, a perfect ascension ceremony actually requires more than 200,000 or even close to 300,000 yuan!
However, it happens to be within the range that Shao Qiming's pocket money can solve.
What the? Embarrassed to ask for money? Wow, who is he? He's Su Sun! As long as it is something that can be solved with money, it is not a matter for his brother!
"I don't have to worry about this until my brother's money is spent!"
Without hesitation, Su Yan went out directly with his bag and prepared to go to Shao Qiming's house - in addition to discussing extraordinary-related matters, he also copied his homework by hand, and studied and exercised at the same time.
When he was running downstairs, Su Yan called Shao Qiming: "Hey? Enlightenment? I'll go to your house and write our summer homework together. ”
“…… I've already finished my summer homework. On the other end of the phone, a friend's voice was quite speechless, but Shao Qiming also knew the metaphor in Su Tian's words, so he agreed: "Okay, when will you arrive?" My mom and my sister were both at home, and I just asked my aunt to cook five more lunches. ”
"That's a good feeling! In terms of time, I rode my bicycle to get there, about thirty-four minutes...... See you later!"
"See you later."
Hung up the phone, at this time Su Sun had already gone downstairs and came to the community with his bicycle.
It was Friday noon, and most of the people were at work, and some old men and women were walking by the fountain in the garden in the middle of the community, but most of them were ready to go back to cooking, and there was hardly any sound in the whole community except for the chirping of cicadas.
Su Yan didn't go directly to Shao Qiming's house, he went around and came to a potted flower and fruit comprehensive store at the entrance of the community.
