Chapter 43: Are golden scales a thing in the pool?
"This is probably the difference between stagnant water and living water!"
His whole body was completely immersed in the water, and Feng Bingwen was wondering about the reason for the different senses before and after.
The pond in the village is indeed big from a mortal's perspective, but to Jiaolong, it is just a small puddle. The most important thing is that this puddle is completely blocked. In Feng Shui,
Water that cannot circulate is stagnant water.
Needless to say, there is no need to say more about Wolong Lake. The lake is vast and the water is deep. The lake really lives up to its name. There is a real dragon lying in it. Ordinary mortals can't tell the difference.
"This is where I belong!"
Soaked in the water, feeling the pleasure of the water spirit actively pouring into his body, Feng Bingwen closed his eyes slightly. He just got used to the feeling of being filled, but this feeling lasted all the time.
But soon, Feng Bingwen opened his eyes and looked down at his chest, where he felt an itchy feeling.
Originally, after more than ten days of adaptation, only a few dark red fish scale patterns appeared on the chest, but now, with the massive infusion of water spirit power, these fish scale patterns began to become deeper and even began to protrude.
Feng Bingwen could clearly feel that some mysterious changes were taking place. He waited patiently and watched as a fish scale pattern on his chest turned into real scales little by little.
He couldn't help but reach out and touch it. They were hard scales made of black iron. The delicate lines on the scales had a simple and profound feeling, as if they carried the weight of the years.
"...Na...Mi...Duo..."
At this time, a faint Buddhist chant echoed in Feng Bingwen's mind. He watched helplessly as a bright golden light shone in his abdomen, and then a golden ripple erupted from it.
Golden ripples swept across Feng Bingwen's whole body, even breaking out of the limitations of his body and spreading in the water of Wolong Lake, spreading to places beyond his sight.
ah--
In a deep and dark place at the bottom of the lake, accompanied by the sweep of golden light, a shrill scream sounded, but soon, the sound stopped abruptly, and there was no more breath, and the original deep darkness at the bottom of the lake became much lighter, unlike before
of gloominess.
Feng Bingwen naturally couldn't see or hear the movement outside his field of vision. He just lowered his head and stared at the changes in his chest.
After the golden light erupted on his chest and abdomen, the black iron scale growing on his chest was dyed golden, dazzling and sacred.
"this……"
Feng Bingwen couldn't say whether it was good or bad for such a change, but considering that the source of this change should come from the Dragon Ball in his body, he could only think on the bright side. After all, this was given to him by the Book of Heaven, and he had to do good deeds in exchange for it.
The reward cannot be to harm him.
And just looking at the golden appearance of the scales, although it does not have the deep and domineering energy of the black scales, it still has a sacred and majestic meaning, which is not bad.
The change did not stop, probably because he entered the water for the first time. The water spirit energy was flowing in continuously. Even though scales had grown on his chest, it had no intention of stopping.
However, the lines on his chest that had not yet turned into scales were dyed a light golden color due to the burst of golden light just now. Judging from the appearance, it was much better than the previous dark red.
During the not-too-long wait, Feng Bingwen watched as the fish scale pattern on his chest turned into five golden scales, which were so dazzling.
It was only then that the influx of water spirit energy gradually stopped, as if it had reached his current limit.
And Feng Bingwen also had a feeling that as long as he was injured or consumed a lot, the water spirit energy could quickly make up for his shortfall.
"..."
Although he got a lot of benefits from going into the water, Feng Bingwen remained silent as he stared at the eye-catching scales on his chest. In the dark underwater environment, the light emitting from his chest could be said to be very conspicuous.
If these few scales were left in an ordinary person's home, they would save money on oil for lighting lamps at night. However, if they look like this, they might be exterminated by the two elderly people in his family, and the villagers will treat them as monsters.
Catch him.
Gan!
Feng Bingwen shuddered when he thought about the outcome that might become a reality. Let alone those ignorant and uncivilized villagers, even when he had just arrived, if he had encountered a guy with scales on his body,
, and reported it to the government immediately.
Scales shouldn't appear on humans. In other words, those with these scales are no longer human. Well, that's theoretically the case.
"I'm still human!"
Feng Bingwen is unwavering in this point. He believes that the definition of a person cannot be so narrow and can only be determined based on appearance, but also depends on his thoughts and behaviors.
There are some people, even though they look like a human being, they do things that would put even some monsters to shame. Can these people be considered human beings?
And as if following his thoughts, the five shining scales on his chest began to gradually fade away, and finally turned into five light yellow lines, hidden in the white skin. Unless you look closely, you can't see them at all.
come out.
"Wait!"
Feng Bingwen raised his head while soaking in the water. It was not until the light on the scales on his chest disappeared that he realized that the light above his head seemed to be much dimmer.
He found a bank with lush water and grass, popped his head up, looked at the sky, and looked at the dark red sun that was about to set in the mountains, and knew that he would have to face the scolding of the two old men again when he returned home.
"I don't realize how long it has been. Why is it getting dark all of a sudden?"
Feng Bingwen scratched his head in distress, and then found the location where he entered the water. He still landed without any water, but as soon as he got out of the lake, Feng Bingwen's face became distorted.
So sad!
This feeling is like wearing summer clothes, staying in a warm and comfortable heated room, and then suddenly walking into the icy and snowy outdoors. The sudden change is such a feeling that it is difficult to describe it in words.
"..."
Feng Bingwen restrained his urge not to turn around and jump into the water, but quickly put on his clothes and ran towards home.
After arriving home, after absent-mindedly dealing with the two old men's scoldings full of concern and worry, Feng Bingwen, who had adapted to the land environment again, completed his daily routine.
Eat, wash, study, sleep
After lying on the bed, Feng Bingwen had a thought in his mind and habitually called the Heavenly Book. When he saw the records of good deeds in the Heavenly Book, he was stunned.
Good deeds: three hundred and six
baffling!
This was Feng Bingwen's first feeling, and when he clicked on the record of good deeds and saw the word "Ghost Slayer" appeared on the record, he was even more dumbfounded.
