Plague Doctor

Gu Jun's fingers gently rubbed the cover of the spell. The old paper touch was very strange. He turned to the first page, which had a line of text on it, like a book title. This type of text is like Chinese characters, but it is not large or simple, but rather a strange font, rarely recognisable as:

The Seven Secrets of the Earth

In the course of a long river of time, the spell must have had many names, making its original name long overdue and difficult to identify by anyone.

“This font?” Gu Jun looked at Wu Shiyu, but she shook her head too: “The first time I saw her, we didn't have that. ”

She chewed another bite of bread. Although the bread was plain to sell, it tasted and tasted really good and made her feel some delightful music. It's just the name of this spell that makes her look straight into the abyss again.

Old Greybeard Barcelona said to watch out for it...

“Is this Chinese for Mr. Barcelona?” Gu Jun feels that old people, even from Earth, are not the world they know well.

The original spell should have been written in Oracle, and subsequent translations and transcripts, whatever the text, are also a kind of re-interpretation.

He flipped the whole book first, but was surprised to see that, except for a small part of the beginning, the text on the back paper was blurred into pieces, as if it had been soaked with water.

“Mr. Barcelona, what's going on?” Gu Jun opened the book and turned to ask the old Greybeard from afar. Don't give it to him like this, right?

“This book, a secret seal followed by a secret seal.” Old Greybeard said softly, "Those are vague words to you, but they are all very clear to me. You can't get to the back without walking the road. ”

Gu Jun understood that it was necessary to continue studying chapter by chapter. At this time, he began to look at the first secret chapter.

Although the words of the spell are strange, he and Wu Shiyu can recognize it altogether, but the style of the spell is extremely obscure, like "the line must be tangible, the bird must not lose”, "day, month, day, day, day, time”, it seems like reading it means that you know every word, put it together and you don't know what it means.

“Same name as the western pills I saw you guys.” Wu Shiyu so described.

“The drug name has a chemical structure, and this one doesn't seem to exist.” Gu Jun said, recalling what Ulum teacher taught in the illusion before, the spell had its spirit and vitality, as did Barcelona the old man, and Langton said in the spell note that what was written was not the point.

Emphasis is placed on the power in the text to touch and feel with the spirit.

“Try it.” Gu Jun and Wu Shiyu told each other well. If there are any abnormalities, he should wake him up in a timely manner.

Then he gathered his spirit and began to touch the words of the first secret chapter. I don't want them to mean anything. I just tried to get every word into my mind and feel the power of their composition... the drug name has a chemical structure, the spell has a structure...

Just like life.

Gu Jun suddenly remembered a philosophy of biology, structure determining function.

It's the structure of the wings that determines how we fly, the structure of the lungs that determines how we breathe, and humans are different from birds and dead skins.

Protein structure determines the function of enzymes, DNA structure determines how genes work, neural structure determines how they work, how they think...

He remembered "connective histology” to understand how the brain works by mapping the structure of neuronal networks in the brain region and nervous system in a comprehensive way. The so-called "spirit” may be attributed to this… to the extremely complex synapses, neurons, connectivity networks.

“Let its spirit transform your spirit, let its vitality transform your vitality. ”

Gu Jun suddenly understood that Teacher Ulum's words were not a metaphor, but what would really happen. The power of this secret seal was clearly resonating with his body.

Fixing a spell will change the structure of the neuronal network! Real physical change.

Corpse eater Chen Fade is covered in dense and numb corrosion lines... are those similar to some kind of neural loop?

When he realized more, he felt some shadows floating. It was like they were outside the cave, and Chen Fade summoned those giant bats in the cave, and the abnormal fluctuations around him...

“Hmm.” Gu Jun read back to God, because he had a lot of questions, so he stopped studying.

“This first seal seems to be a summoning type of spell.” He questioned Wu Shiyu, "but I didn't know what it was called. ”

Wu Shiyu heard that he had no feelings, but the old Greybeard in the distance seemed surprised, muttering: "You have a gift. ”

If I have a gift, you should teach Gu Jun more. "Mr. Barcelona, practicing the spell will change your mind and body, won't it? ”

“Do you already know this?” Old Greybeard looked at him, “you're very talented. Then you should understand, how does the ordinary mind and body embrace extraordinary power? The spell is going to change you. This change is good or bad, it's up to you. ”

Gu Jun frowned and touched his head. Indeed...

If humans have enough knowledge in the field of connective histology, if the neuronal network is as clear as a circuit diagram, not as chaotic as a spider web.

Then when the bureau dissected the head of the newborn Red Robe, and he dissected Chen Fade, there should be more understanding of his mutation.

“Mr. Barse.” So he had another problem, "did he learn all about one spell and become another? Do you have access to any other spells?” That's one of Dr. Carlop's sacrifices, isn't it?

“There are many sources of extraordinary power.” Old Greybeard said, "You can't touch every one of them. ”

Gu Jun nodded slightly, but this is simple...

The spells practiced by the Lalaires are different from those practiced by the ogres, who are different from those practiced by the aliens.

They have different worships, different sources of power.

So the spell has a source of power. It fixes which kind, it seems, can only be developed in the future.

“What is the source of the Seven Secrets of the Earth?” And he asked, "The gods of the earth, the Seven Secrets of the earth?"

“It's not good for you to know too much.” Old Greybeard just said, "Only studying the first seal won't change you, until the third one is the choice. ”

“Oh." Gu Jun silenced. This kind of thing is like filling out a major after college entrance exam. It must be considered and carefully chosen.

In his own case, it would be more appropriate to practice the spell of worshipping the Goddess of Life, but now… there is no alternative.

Then Gu Jun asked another question, but Granny Greyhou seemed to have said all that, and did not answer half a sentence.

After him, Wu Shiyu also tried to learn the first secret seal. She could feel spiritual contact, although not as fast as him, she could still get started.

The sea has been foggy, they look at the spell and they talk. About five or six hours after boarding, a shadow of the island gradually appeared in the fog in front of them. Looking at the past, the island is small, but far away there are mountains, shoreline reefs are tumbling and forests are shady.

Gu Jun stared at the deserted island ahead and felt like it was there.

“That's where you're going. Get ready to disembark.” Old Greybeard said faintly, "There's a storm coming. ”
