On this night, Amon came to Hanquan again, but he did not take a bath as usual. He used to sit in the water at the edge of the cold spring, soak his body and wash his face and hair, but this time the old maniac wanted him to dive deep into the cold spring, looking for the spring eye, where there is a special thing, take it out and bring it back .

As for something, the old maniac did n’t say it.

The cold spring is cold and biting, and the water surface under the moonlight is condensed with a layer of mist. It looks like it is heating up, but it is actually a tiny drop of water condensed in the low-temperature air close to the water surface. In this biting water, ordinary people can't stand the teeth in a few breaths, even if Amon wants to dive deeper, it takes courage.

Amon took a deep breath and dived silently into the spring water, trying not to think about the bitter ice cold, and concentrated on using his body to feel the weak currents under the water, looking for the spring eyes. The center of Hanquan is not too deep, about the height of two adults, which is enough to make Amon topped.

In the depths of the spring water, the chill hits as if there is no end to it. The heat in the body is quickly lost. Amon tries to control himself not to tremble and twitch, but every pore is shrinking and the small fibers of every muscle are in Quick and faint tremor.

It ’s difficult to concentrate in this situation, but Amon did it. He felt a seemingly calm spring flow slowly in the depths, and traced the flow back to the source. The source of the cold spring overflowed through a pile of pebbles at the bottom, and Amon suddenly felt a deeper deep cold in a bitter chill.

This subtle difference is difficult to tell because the whole body is cold and cold. Amon touched a stone in his hand, much like a mineral core. When he concentrated on his experience, his body suddenly fought a cold war out of control, almost choking water. The ice cold, who didn't care about it, seemed to be suddenly awakened and madly penetrated into the body.

It ’s not that the springs are getting colder, but Amon seems to have communicated the source of the chill, awakening and amplifying that feeling, and he can hardly bear it for a moment, just want to leave here quickly, and even suspect that he will be frozen. Stiff in the spring water.

But Amun did not leave, there was a heat flow in his body, which spread all over his limbs. This reaction usually only appeared when he left Hanquan to sit down and rest, but it appeared in the spring at this moment, indicating that he had spent enough time. When it grows, it is about to exceed a certain limit, and the body has instinctive self-protection, and it also awakens a force.

Amon grabbed the core-sized pebble, but didn't pick it up with a single force. It seems that a stone scattered under the water seems to be fixed there by a mysterious force, in a state of glue.

Amon, holding his breath, concentrated all his spirits. The cold and heat flow in his body seemed to be under his control for a moment. His whole body was trembling rapidly, his chest was uncomfortable, and his right hand issued amazing power. Feeling suddenly loose, the pebble was picked up by him, Amon's body came out of the water, and then fell with a thud, still holding the stone tightly in his hand.

He crawled back to the shore, but ignored the pebble, and sat there with his eyes closed, seemingly motionless, but felt the blood flowing all over the body, and every pore was not noticeable with the naked eye. It shook in the same way, and the water droplets on the body evaporated into hot air, but the cold in the body took a long time to slowly dissipate.

It was only a short time before he was launched, but he felt very tired. He stood up and moved his limbs again. His movements were like weird gymnastics. After returning to calm, he began to carefully examine the pebble. It looks very much like a piece of ore core, but there are many kinds of ore cores that Amon has seen, and I always feel that it is different. Although this thing is similar to natural pebbles, it always feels like a trace of artificial forgery, although it is made very clever.

It was so cold when I felt it in the spring water just now, but I was holding it in my hand at the moment, but there was only a stone with normal coolness, and I could hardly notice the abnormality. Thinking of here, Amon suddenly realized that something was wrong, put down the stone and entered the cold spring. The water in Hanquan was still cold, but as Amon had guessed, the bitter chill was gradually dissipating.

At this point, Amon should have completed the task of the old maniac, but he has not stopped yet, and once again sneaked into the cold spring. This time was much simpler than the last time. Soon he grabbed a pebble in one hand and threw it on the shore. Then he changed his breath and dived again. After throwing 20 pebbles in succession, he climbed up again.

This time he was freezing enough, his body was a little purple, and he was panting like a sieve, and it took a long time to slow down. At this moment he felt that the moonlight seemed to be brighter, and there was a warmth shrouded in it, and he slowly entered the body. Looking up, there was a magic stone suspended above him quietly, exuding a soft light, and then looking back, when did the old madman stand behind him from time to time.

"Boy, you will hurt your body like this. I didn't want you to take out the entire magic circle. Just find the blue water heart in the middle and use power to take it out." Old Maniac As he spoke, the **** stone suspended in mid-air became brighter, and the soft white light seemed to turn into a dense mist, which made Amon's body gradually recover, and there was a sense of oppression that made him speechless.

"But you are better than I thought. Letting you take out the blue water heart is mainly to test two abilities. The first is that your body can withstand the invasion of this cold spring and can still be used without interference. Power; the second is that your spirit and will are strong enough to be able to detect subtle changes in that environment. Only in this way is it possible to awaken the power of one both sides. "

The old maniac was talking. With a short stick in his hand, the twenty pebbles on the ground shattered silently, just like the scene of mining a nuclear core with a sledgehammer, revealing twenty **** stones inside. . The pebble that Amon first took out showed fluctuations like water lines on the surface, and then fell into sand like a stream of water. A faint blue stone appeared in the center.

The old maniac explained: "Thirty years ago, I used a faint blue water heart and twenty **** stones to lay a magic circle here to create this cold spring, and now its mission has been completed. Those pebbles are not natural mineral cores, they are my disguise. You can find that the blue water heart does not surprise me, but you find all the disguised pebbles, which really surprises me. "

After saying this, the **** stone in the air fell down and was caught by the old maniac, and only the quiet moonlight reflected in front of the water. Amon had already stood up and reached out to pick up the blue **** stone and asked, "Is it called Youlan Water Heart?"

The old maniac nodded: "Yes, all kinds of crystals of different colors have their own names, and the blue one is called the blue water heart by the magicians."

Children who grew up in Duque Town, of course, know that in addition to the colorless and transparent standard **** stones, there are four special **** stones of red, blue, black, and white, but the name of the blue water heart is Amon. I heard once. Although these four special crystals are not as rare and rare as the tears of the gods, they are also very rare. Even in places like Duke Town, few pieces can be produced in a year. If you are unlucky, you may not see them for several years. To one.

The last time Amon mined the tears of the gods, but he was taken away by Fayol before he could take a closer look. Today is the first time he has the opportunity to study special **** stones in addition to the standard **** stones. , But found that the old maniac had turned away.

"Where are you going?" Amon shouted behind.

"Of course, go home and go to sleep! I'm afraid you are in a cold spring, so come and take a look to save people at any time. Since you are okay, I can sleep well." The old madman answered without looking back .

"Why don't you take these **** stones?" Amon shouted again.

"I threw it here thirty years ago, and I never wanted to take them away. What you took out is yours. It will be useful to keep it .... It ’s still this time tomorrow night. In this place, I will hold a awakening ceremony of power for you, do n’t forget. "As the voices grew away, the old maniac had disappeared in Charcoal Forest.

After the old maniac left, Amon sat at the edge of the spring and looked at the blue water heart. When he concentrated on trying to experience it carefully, he always felt that there was a mysterious power that fluctuated between the **** stone and the spring, and there was also in his body. Something is about to move, as if it is a kind of aura of longing, and it unknowingly disappears again.

......

On the next night, the "craze of power" held by the old maniac for Amon was actually a kind of prayer. However, unlike the ceremonies held by the magicians, this great magician did not ask Amon to pray to any specific god, but just taught him how to make his spirit more focused, everything outside seems strange. In between, you can clearly sense the subtle changes in your body and heart, condense your spiritual introspection, and communicate with the original power that symbolizes everything.

Doing this is of course much more difficult than the magician ’s need to pray to the gods piously. The old maniac told Amon again, in fact, he might as well pray to the gods, and he explained with a smile: "You discussed with Aristotle that day I have heard the words of the divine origin, if you can understand what he said, then you can understand what I mean .... To awaken the power, you must be prepared enough, otherwise this ritual will not succeed, and you, prepare Is already sufficient, but not enough. "

This ritual seems to open a door and touch an unknown world. The old madman asked Amon to put the blue water heart in front of him, and let him try to condense his spiritual power. Using the blue water heart as an intermediary, he felt how to communicate with this unknown world. Amon really felt a cool, seemingly absent, and there was no exact shape permeating around.

When he realized the coolness, it seemed to turn into a cold ice again, which was the most familiar feeling in the cold spring for a long time, and then he felt that the spring water around him fluctuated with a strange rhythm . This rhythm is not breathing or heartbeat, but a natural rhythm that is not well described.

At the same time, the old maniac saw the dark blue water heart emitting hazy light over Amon's body and couldn't help but sigh: "If this ritual is performed with the tears of the gods, it will be easy to awaken the power There are so many, and the blue water heart is also okay, even without the help of any foreign objects, you will also succeed, but it is better this way, and it will be easier to master specific magic arts. "

Amon did n’t hear the old maniac. He was immersed in a novel world. Is this the so-called power given by the gods? Or is it the power of natural origin, perhaps the power lurking in the body? He felt not only the strange fluctuations of the outside world, but also an indescribable sense of relaxation and pleasure in his body. He felt that he had never been so strong.

He inexplicably felt that he was so powerful, as if he could control or defeat everything. When the spirit of focused introspection, he did feel the power of that one both sides.

And desire always comes with power. The greater the power, the more the desire. For example, a hungry person may only want a meal, and an emperor may want to conquer the entire continent and have endless endlessness. Wealth and power.

It seems that in tranquility, all kinds of desires or desires also appear quietly, whether it is from the body or the mind. In the focused prayer ritual, it may still be suppressed, but in the usual words and deeds, Amon quickly felt this trouble.

......

The ritual is just the beginning. The old maniac told him to master it gradually until he can completely control this kind of induction before he can really learn divine and physical techniques. I am afraid it will take some time. In the next few days, Amon will come to focused by the spring to pray every night, but for most of the day, he is still a miner in the town, and looks just like before.

He often thinks of Maria, what happened that night, how she felt her body and lips kiss, and how she put her hand into the neckline and put it on her chest, and there were some subtle changes in his thoughts. He would indulge in an illusion-gaining invincible power, he could defeat Gabriel, and he could drive Rod Dirk even the personal guard, leaving only him and Maria, and ...

He does have unprecedented power, but with the emergence of power, there are also subtle changes in his mentality. His desires and desires will expand and magnify, and he will fly endlessly as if his wings are inserted.

When he concentrates his soul and introspects and senses foreign objects every night, he will realize these very clearly, just like he is enduring a kind of suffering. One voice seemed to say, "Have the power to get everything you want!" Another voice seemed to say, "How ridiculous, you are weak and can only be laughed at!" And Amon's own soul seems to be here The two voices watched with cold eyes, but were unconsciously involved.

When Mary went through all this, Gabriel told her that she only had to look at it quietly with a pure heart, not about it. The old maniac didn't tell Amon this way. He just told Amon that it was a test, depending on how he faced it.

In addition to the disturbance that disturbs the soul, Amon ’s body also has an abnormal reaction. He has an illusion that he is getting stronger every day, and his footsteps are so powerful and steady when walking, every bone, every muscle They are all making a slight noise, seeming to contain endless energy, he even has an urge to fist with a fist.

A son of a drunkard, who has been laughed at in this town since childhood, at this time Amon had an inexplicable desire to see who is not pleasing to the eye and beat anyone who caught him, like a ferocious lurking in his body Fighting beast. Amon did not fight in the town, but he did something that made the whole town stunned and envious.

As a consequence of the incident, Lord Xiao Gou, the priest and clerk of the temple, collapsed in public and vomited blood.

The cause of the incident was the **** stones he had taken from the cold spring, and Amon had been carrying them carefully with him. When he passed the Mu Yun Goddess Temple that day, he saw Xiao Gu with his servants registering the taxes paid by the town people in front of the door, and the mayor also stood aside. Somehow, Amon turned around with a sneer and walked over, saying aloud, "Master, I want to pay taxes!"

Mayor Dasti has n’t answered yet, Xiao Gu asked with some anxiety and some curiosity: "Amon, what tax do you pay? Your family hasn't received the mining core at the mine these days?"

Removing the **** stone from the core is only the most critical final step. The mining core is located in the mining field north of the village, on the edge of the high mountains of the Syrian Plateau. It is impossible for a person's power to complete work such as mountain digging, rock drilling, and mining of mining cores. That is the collective work of the miners in the town, and it is supervised by others. At the clerk Xiao Gu, he did not register recently that the Ameng family had received mine cores. He was also fortunate.

Amon replied: "Dear priest and clerk, I occasionally found a batch of mine cores washed down by a torrent in a stream of Charcoal Forest, just like the gods have given no need for manual mining. .. I took them home and opened them, and took out a batch of **** stones. According to the laws of the town, these are also subject to tax. "
