Laughing at Chang'an

On the third basement floor of the Gengjun Guild Hall, Zhang Puqiu's research room.

"This is an unknown object. It has never been discovered before, and it has left no records." Zhang Puqiu said while standing in front of the circular analysis table, staring at the light golden irregular crystal on the table.

"I found that it was in a strange space. That space was connected to Fang Lu through the avalanche. After I took this crystal, something like a sky covered it and blocked that space."

"There is a saying in the ancient books that Fang Lu is a boat that travels through thousands of worlds, reaching and reaching everywhere." Zhang Puqiu had a rare excitement in his eyes, "Perhaps this is not a lie."

Geng Yan smiled noncommittally, and asked: "After analyzing it for the past few days, can you find anything special about it?"

Zhang Puqiu nodded, and ordered someone to fetch several high-grade source crystals and put them together with that crystal.A few minutes later, the source crystals shrank significantly, and after another ten minutes, the source crystals disappeared, but the pale golden crystal remained unchanged.

"It can absorb source energy." Zhang Puqiu pointed to the monitoring instruments next to the analysis platform, and the number on one of them changed slightly from the last decimal place just now. "Strengthen yourself."

Geng Yan frowned silently.

"I don't think this is its original form." Zhang Pu begged, "This should just be its dormant state...Of course this is my speculation, and further verification is needed."

"What will happen if it is put into the human body?" Geng Yan asked suddenly.

"People will die." Zhang Puqiu said indifferently, "The source energy is the foundation of life of the human body. Even ordinary people who have not practiced yet rely on the source energy in their bodies to maintain their lives. This crystal can absorb all the source energy it comes into contact with. It can be said to be the natural enemy of the source energy, even if you put it into the body of an altar powerhouse like you, it will still be sucked out of the source energy and die."

Geng Yan was silent for a while, then ordered: "Find someone to try it out."

Zhang Puqiu turned his head to look at Geng Yan. Geng Jun's research has never involved human experiments, and there are no ready-made experimental subjects here, but seeing Geng Yan's expression, he did not say anything after all, and personally called Lu Cang of Donggong. On the phone, an experimental subject was transferred from the other party.

The experimental subject who had been injected with anesthesia was lying naked on the experimental table, his limbs and neck were firmly bound. Zhang Puqiu cut open his chest, buried the light golden crystal into his heart, and then quickly sutured it up.This experimental body has the three-step cultivation of the Immortal Path. Even if the heart is buried with foreign objects, it can survive at least a day and a night with the support of the first-aid medicine.

But just a few minutes later, pale golden lines began to appear on his body, first from the top of the heart, then spread to the entire chest, then the limbs, neck, cheeks... Geng Yan walked over and opened his closed eyelids, Surprisingly, I saw that the pupils inside turned golden.

He let go slowly.

As if aware of the approach of death, the subject under deep anesthesia began to struggle violently, his eyelids struggling to open, but at this time golden lines had covered his whole body, and even his hair was gradually changing to the same color.

Less than 10 minutes later, he was dead.

Those golden lines disappeared from his body at a speed visible to the naked eye. Zhang Puqiu cut open his heart and took out the light golden crystal. Perhaps it was an illusion, but Geng Yan felt that the color of this thing seemed darker.Zhang Puqiu put the crystal back on the analysis table, and on the instrument next to it, the number showing the weight slightly increased again.

"The reaction speed inside the human body is faster than outside." Zhang Puqiu looked at the experimental records of his assistants, lowered his head, and said, "It should be more sensitive to the source energy in the active state, but it is more sensitive to the free state in space." Yuan Neng didn’t respond.”

Geng Yan silently recalled the confrontation between himself and the old monk. He regained consciousness at the last moment and used secret techniques to make him take back the invading source energy, but was killed by his own source energy.It was dangerous, needless to say, if the old monk's energy was allowed to remain in his body, his ending would not be any better than that of the corpse on the experimental table.

"I'll bring Li Shen to see you later." He lowered his voice and begged Zhang Pu, "You continue to study this thing, and you must find out what it is."

Zhang Puqiu pushed his glasses and hummed lightly.

………………

At the same time, Li Shen was holding his corpse in the yard, no, basking in the sun.

The adjutant put three charcoal basins beside his chair, but it was not enough, and he placed a warm stone under his feet.Li Shen leaned against the back of the chair, with a thick blanket covering his knees, tilting his head in a drowsy state.

This is a symptom of early entry into middle-aged dementia.

Just when he was really about to fall asleep, the adjutant came over and bent down to announce that Hades had come.Li Shen opened his eyes, wondering what this old thing was doing, lazily lifted the blanket and went to the living room to meet the guests.

Hades didn't come empty-handed, he also brought a box of snacks.Li Shen smiled and said that you are too polite, Hades glared at him and said that I didn't want to take it, but someone forced me to take it.

Li Shen realized it instantly and smiled.

The baby's granddaughter's elbow was thrown out so much that the old man Hei was so tired that he didn't beat around the bush when he sat down, and said straightforwardly: "Li Tieyi came to propose marriage to my baby for you, do you know about it?"

Li Shen was stunned: "When did it happen?"

"Not long ago." Hades picked up the teacup from the table, took a sip, and said slowly, "I agreed with him at the time, who told the baby to like you, but before the follow-up matter is settled, he will Lying on the ground... Li Shen, what are you going to do? Marry? Or not?"

Li Shen didn't respond.

This matter is not complicated at all. Not long ago, Li Tieyi stole Haitang with his front foot, and proposed to Baby Yang for him with his back foot. It was a good plan.After figuring this out, Li Shen felt a little annoyed for no reason. Li Tieyi even included his marriage in the so-called grand plan, and sincerely played with him like a puppet.

Hades didn't rush, and waited patiently with a cup of tea.

"Master Hei." Li Shen finally said, "You know, I only see the baby as my younger sister."

"But she treats you like a lord." Hades said.

Li Shen laughed awkwardly, and explained: "That's because she's still young..."

"It's not too young." Hades put down the teacup, and stopped flirting with him, "I'll be eighteen next month."

, at this age in Donghuang, he can already be a child's mother.Li Shen met Hades' gaze, opened his mouth, and finally stopped arguing.

When he met her, she was still a little girl who was only as high as his thigh, and almost ten years passed in the blink of an eye, he was not old yet, but she had grown up.

"I like her, but not for women." Li Shen said seriously, "Master Hei, you are from experience, you should know about feelings, you can't force it."

"I can spoil her and protect her, but I can't love her like a woman."

Hades grinned.

"You can't now, but you may not be able to in the future. I'm someone who has experienced it. Feelings can change at will, without warning. Since you can pamper her and protect her, that's enough. I may not live for a few more years, baby. I'm very relieved that it's in your hands...you won't let anyone bully her."

Li Shen's eyes darkened. Naturally, he would not let others bully Baby Yang, no matter if she was a sister or a wife, but the question is, how many years can he protect her?If he really married her, when he died, those enemies of his would come to her and implicate her instead.

"Master Hei, please pretend that this has never happened." Li Shen stood up with the support of his chair, bowed his hands to Hades, and promised, "Don't worry, as long as I, Li Shen, live for a day, I won't let you die." It will make people bully the baby."

Hades looked at him quietly for a long time, then sighed.

"Forget it, since you have made up your mind, everything I say is superfluous."

He walked away.

Outside Li's house, in Hades' car, Yang Baobao clutched a communicator, curled up in a corner, crying like a cat.Hades opened the car door, seeing her like this, his distressed old face was wrinkled, and he comforted in a low voice: "Baby, don't cry, Grandpa will think of a way, good boy, don't cry..."

"Shen doesn't want me..." Baobao Yang sobbed, "He doesn't want me..."

Hades prides himself on his wisdom, but he is helpless in the face of such difficulties, and just wants to look up to the sky and sigh.The little princess of his family has just fallen in love with a thing with a heart as hard as a stone. She neither knows how to pity her, nor does she know how to play tricks every time.

Li Shen, who was being scolded in his heart for nonsense, was actually not feeling well, and he was calling the adjutant to bring him wine.The adjutant tried a few words of persuasion with good intentions, but was silenced by Li Shen's stare, and obediently went to get someone a drink.

Li Shen, who was about to drink a few cups of wine to relieve his worries and then get drunk, who didn't know his personal affairs, saw the adjutant running back all the way before he took a sip of wine. He opened his mouth and before he could utter a word, there was Another person.

Geng Yan wore a cloak with a white background and a jet-black crown on his head. His blond hair hung down behind his head, giving him an air of nobility.Li Shen watched the man walk in front of him, took the wine glass from his hand, brought it to his lips and sniffed it, the two brows suddenly raised sharply, his heart trembled uncontrollably.

"Drinking in broad daylight, huh?"

"Uh……"

"Get up and follow me."

Li Shen stood up obediently, grabbed his cane and followed behind, asking, "Where are you going?"

Before he finished speaking, Geng Yan turned around suddenly, and Li Shen hurriedly stopped, almost bumping into him.Geng Yan stretched out his hand to his ear, but retracted it, and said expressionlessly, "Go to the guild hall."

Li Shen was stunned.

He was sure that at that moment just now, Geng Yan wanted to touch him, and he didn't miss the moment of struggle in the other party's eyes, he could see clearly...

For some reason, he suddenly wanted to laugh.
