Burning illusion, boiling blood, thunderous heartbeat.
Qingchen seemed to feel that the world was roaring, and his life was burning together.
However, the burning sensation soon began to subside again. As he breathed, the flame lines on his and Li Shutong's cheeks were still there, but the air he breathed into his lungs turned into a refreshing breeze. No more pain!
Lin Xiaoxiao on the side suddenly reminded: "Keep your consciousness, the pain you have forgotten will soon sweep into your mind. All pain, remember it is all pain. At that moment you will begin to collapse, if you If you can’t survive this test, no one can help you.”
Qingchen’s heart trembled because the pain Lin Xiaoxiao said suddenly came into his mind:
It was his first time. When living alone, I cut my finger while trying to cook. At the moment of the cut, the blade slowly scratched across the skin, and even the touch of the fingerprints being cut was recalled.
During the waterboarding, the icy water flowing in his lungs was like poisonous saplings, and the cold roots were stuck in his lungs.
In the dark room, the dryness of dehydration collided with the pain of the water torture in the previous second.
And the sunset on the day my mother left.
And the other person’s back dragging the suitcase under the sunset.
All of this is sweeping like a tide, as if it is about to smash the seaside cliff into rubble.
The dark waves, as fine as knives, emitted hollow whistling and wailing.
Qingchen seemed to have returned to the time of water torture and closed his eyes.
He fell into a void of darkness again.
There was a gentle voice calling from under the abyss: "Follow mom."
Qingchen replied: "I have walked such a long road by myself, and the rest I will walk on my own."
As if time had passed by just a snap of a finger, he opened his eyes again.
No wonder Li Shutong said that if you can't survive that test, you won't be able to follow his path.
It turns out it was all for this moment.
Qingchen’s breath was like a ball of fire.
That ball of fire seemed to burn away the past in an instant. From then on, he understood his choice and no longer needed to feel sorry for himself or look back.
The rest of my life is all about the road ahead.
The expressions of Ye Wan and Lin Xiaoxiao beside them also changed. They stood up straight and looked at each other, as if they did not expect that Qingchen was still awake.
They have also experienced this kind of pain. When the pain comes together, they know very well what it feels like when their hearts begin to collapse.
Only those who have looked directly at every pain can step through the abyss of 'questioning the heart', separate their past and future, and move forward.
Lin Xiaoxiao murmured: "Perhaps Qingchen has a photographic memory, so he has never forgotten those pains..."
The human brain has a protective mechanism. It will make you forget something intentionally, so that you can live a better life.
However, the super-memory state gave Qingchen extraordinary talents, but also gave him endless pain.
He has long been accustomed to the pain of reviewing every year.
Qingchen has never been the darling of the greenhouse. He has been a believer in pain a long time ago.
Moreover, he had already stepped over that abyss.
Li Shutong slowly let go of his palm and said with emotion: "This level is smoother than I thought."
For some reason, when he realized what to do Afterwards, I began to feel a little sorry for the young man in front of me.
No one knows what the other person’s life is like, and what the other person is burdened with while enjoying their talents.
The flame marks on Qingchen's cheeks began to fade, and he asked: "What is the purpose of this breathing technique?"
The reason why he asked this was because he did not feel his body obvious changes.
I just feel refreshed and relaxed. The weakness caused by fasting for four days is quickly disappearing.
"It's just an auxiliary means," Li Shutong said: "The breathing technique is the difference in breathing frequency. You can't use it alone now. You will remember it after I take you a few more times. "
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Li Shutong saw Qingchen sitting cross-legged across from him. The flame lines on his face no longer faded, but spread again!
For the first time, he smiled bitterly and said: "I forgot that you can enter the super-memory state. You can just write down this breathing rhythm."
I have to say that Li Shutong is really a little confused now. He was helpless. He had to be taught by the teacher more than forty times before he could barely remember the breathing rate. There was nothing wrong with it.
But the boy in front of me can do it once.
Li Shutong turned to say: "Since I don't need to take care of this, let me tell you about the inheritance of knights directly. As for the role of breathing, we can talk about it later."
"At the beginning of the Knights organization, it was the founder who discovered the secret of the gene lock."
"According to his conclusion, when humans complete the eight life and death stages, the gene lock will open on its own."< /p>
Li Shutong continued: "In the earliest days, you could only be considered a qualified knight by completing these eight life and death tests. The genetic lock was unlocked and you were extraordinary."
"At that time There are still many knights. They followed mankind through the era of cataclysm and created a new era of civilization with the surviving humans."
"But then there were fewer and fewer knights, not because there were no suitable candidates, but because there were no more suitable candidates. There is a life and death test that must be completed in the sea, but the entire sea has become a forbidden place. It used to be a narrow escape, but now it is a ten-death test."
"Without a life and death test, the gene has become a forbidden place. Naturally, the shackles cannot be opened."
"But the new leader of the knights at that time, Qin Sheng, was also very talented. He created a new breathing technique to assist, and his successors actually found that using breathing techniques to assist them during the challenge. Every time you complete a life and death level, you can open aClick Gene Lock, you don’t have to complete everything before opening it. "
"Although a knight who has only completed one life and death test is not as powerful as a knight who has completed eight life and death tests, when everyone completes the sixth one, their strength has completely surpassed the old one. Senior knight. "
"If divided according to the levels of the inner world, there are six levels of ABCDEF, and those who complete the sixth item are A-level. "
Qingchen was stunned for a moment. He did not expect that extraordinary people in this world are divided into different levels of strength.
He suddenly asked: "Teacher, what is your level? "
Ye Wan said from the side: "The boss is S level. "
Because Li Shutong has completed the seventh life-and-death test and is only missing the last one.
"But what is so magical about this breathing technique that it can help open the gene lock? "Qingchen asked.
He was excited at this time because he had touched the door to the new world, but he was still a little confused.
"You should know about endorphins This thing," Li Shutong said.
Although Qingchen has a photographic memory, he has never paid attention to this area before. He could only rely on the information in his memory and said: "Like dopamine, it gives people There are differences in the secretions of happiness: dopamine is obtained when playing games, winning the lottery, and gambling, while the pleasure and relaxation after exercise are provided by endorphins. "
Li Shutong shook his head: "Chicken Soup for the Soul says so, but dopamine does not directly make people happy. It is just a neurotransmitter responsible for transporting 5-hydroxytryptamine-like substances that can make people happy. But in layman's terms, it is true that dopamine gives happiness, but one thing you have to understand is that it does not give happiness, but addictive desire. ”
“What about endorphins? Qingchen asked.
“Endorphin is a substance that is bitter first and then sweet. It binds to the morphine receptors in the body and can play an analgesic effect, but this is only the most basic "Function," Li Shutong said: "Our ancestor Qin Sheng did a very strict test and found that when the knights complete a certain life and death test, a large amount of endorphins will be secreted in the body. "
"So he believes that dopamine is the poison that makes people addicted, while endorphins are the key to unlocking the gene. "
"So there is a new creed in the knight organization: only those who have experienced a painful life become more advanced. ”
