Second Movement: The Flowers of the Field Tell Me (7): Holy Wounds (2-in-1)
"Sorry, it seems that my movements are still a bit delayed."
Fan Ning slowly walked down the steps on the side of the organ bandstand: "If I had known that you were in a bad state, maybe it would be safer to hold a rough version of "The Poems of Awakening" and use it for the time being, so as to understand some of the details of the knowledge involved.
Misunderstandings can be kept and gradually corrected later.”
"If it gets really bad, I will take the initiative to contact you." Qiong's voice was cool and calm. She stood up from the front of the ceremony platform, turned around and stepped on the wood and saluted slightly, "The recent troubles are basically solved. My
The strength should be restored to the second level of Xiaoxiao within a few days, thank you."
Fan Ning said "Hmm" and glanced around with his peripheral vision. Suddenly his eyes focused on the colorful windows surrounding the church.
There were large bloody fingerprints all over the windows!
"It doesn't matter." Joan seemed accustomed to this. "These remaining knowledge contaminations cannot enter. Although this time she followed me close to the barrier of Qiming Church, next time, she will not be able to return to the secret path of dreams. Think about it again.
It’s not that easy to track me down.”
Fan Ning said nothing, frowned and slowly walked over.
Qiong felt a little strange, and she also took steps to get closer to him.
When the two of them got a closer look, their expressions finally changed.
These bloody handprints are on the inside of the window! It’s like someone stood inside Qiming Church and pressed them!
The two of them turned their heads almost instantly.
The church was still quiet and empty, filled with light golden mist, and there was nothing unusual about it.
"Is your judgment too optimistic?" Fan Ning's eyes were wary.
"It's not like it's my problem, it might be your problem." Qiong turned around again and looked at the blood stains that had been pressed and dragged on the colored window. "When I saw this situation, my first reaction was like a dream being infected.
characteristics, but there is no other movement, I am a little unsure...Have you met 'Miss Crimson' recently?"
"No, the only connection is the discussion and dismantling of pollution knowledge when creating "Poetry of Awakening", but I am sure that the whole process was carried out with good protection."
"What about playing? Have you had any recently?"
"Performing? Yes..." Fan Ning hesitated for a moment, "But according to the results discussed before, the risk link is limited to composing, and there is a big difference in nature between playing and composing. Once the program of the music has been fixed, there are
The materials can only follow the established direction and serve what I want to express. In this sense, there is no difference between the knowledge that reflects 'Red Pond' and other knowledge, they are just my musical vocabulary."
Qiong gently pressed the keys of her silver flute while wondering.
Yes, speaking of performance, it was also performed just now, and the effect was obviously positive. Fan Ning's purpose in writing this piece was to use art form to "deconstruct and transform" those polluting knowledge.
"If there are any other changes in the near future, does achieving awakening and the arrival of midsummer count?" When Fan Ning thought of this, he explained some relevant folklore knowledge of "Awakening Chant" and listed some confusions with strong hallucination elements.
at.
Qiong is the only person who knows clearly that Fan Ning is in the Southern Continent. Because she is very powerful and her whereabouts have completely escaped the reality of the Northern Continent, she will not be threatened by information spying from the Special Patrol Office. Fan Ning has provided her with some forged information before.
Preliminary information on the past of the Western Continent.
But she was also unsure about Fan Ning's question about "Awakening Chant".
This discussion has no results yet.
"In your current situation, you can try to be promoted to the Knower. There are too many unknown factors in the external environment, so there is no need to delay."
The girl in purple skirt holds a flute behind her back and looks up at Fan Ning.
"I have here the key to the 'Lightless Door' which has a 'wild' phase climbing path, and a 'shattered key door' key which has a 'key' phase climbing path. The former can be reserved for Sheeran later. Yours
The field of study is suitable for the latter.”
"As a thank you, would you like me to give it to you now?"
Fan Ning thought for a while and said: "I remember discussing the questionable literal meaning of the 'Gate of Broken Keys' before, and if I remember correctly, its key is your spirit body itself. This seems to sound like a weird idea.
Isn’t it too safe?”
Qiong raised her right hand, palm upward, and a small drop of purple-black viscous liquid gradually floated in it.
"In the process of passing through Huita's door, there is no correlation between benefits and dangers, and the different keys chosen have different results. For some higher doors, once the key is mastered, the process is easy and controllable; and sometimes promotion
The climber spent a lot of money, but what he traversed was only the first level. Where is the dead end, and where is the way to survive. There are no rules to be found here. It may be that one climbing path is easy to walk at low places, but difficult to walk at high places, and another climbing path is difficult to walk at high places.
Or the situation may be the opposite, and these situations have been changing slowly..." She explained slowly.
"However, the key is extremely difficult to find. Under normal circumstances, you and I do not have the capital to 'seek advantages and avoid disadvantages' at all. We can only use what we have. The 'key' is the same as the high-level 'key-breaking door', that is,
For a door that is relatively cost-effective, the key will be completely shattered during the journey, which directly causes the 'self' form of the key to become a paradox and cannot be used for 'self'."
"There is no feasible way. I can use the 'key embryo' in my hand that is based on my own spiritual embodiment to carve out other spiritual bodies that meet certain conditions, such as 'phantom people'."
"If you need it, after I further recover my strength, I will help you go to a certain branch of the Special Patrol Department to get one. The planing process will have a certain failure rate, but in order to contain the gnosis, they are now controlling the path.
I have created a lot of 'phantoms', you can try it a few times, it is not a difficult thing."
The girl's tone was cold and calm, as if she was discussing a trivial matter.
"Thank you for your kindness, but I just want to inquire about the situation because it concerns you." Fan Ning said.
"Did you find another key? The one from 'Zhu'?" The purple-black liquid suspended in Qiong's hand began to smoke and disintegrate.
"Perhaps you can help me check." Fan Ning smiled and looked up at the height directly above the church.
He imagined that there was a non-existent tray under his feet, and the invisible power of the "key" phase exerted a fictitious influence, making his whole body float in the air.
Although the rising speed was extremely slow, surprise appeared in Qiong's eyes.
"Why can he fly in the Yiyong before he reaches the Deep One?"
She followed Fan Ning into the sky, and their spiritual bodies rose higher and higher. The ceremony table, candles and benches below became smaller in the golden mist.
Next to the lighting pavilion on the dome of the church, in a small space that resembled a lantern and was surrounded by seven-sided colored windows, Fan Ning reached out and unscrewed one of the windows.
"What is this layer outside!?" Qiong couldn't help but exclaimed.
At that time, Fan Ning was conducting a "dream interview" with the Old Symphony Orchestra in the Qiming Church. After the crowd dispersed, he accidentally or destined to discover the key that had been tampered with by "Old Days" into "reproduced music". Although
The characters in this dream were gone, but the huge translucent slime barrier outside the window, which resembled unknown biological tissue, obviously gave Joan a strange and terrifying feeling.
"It seems that you don't know either, but it does not affect the observation of the Hui Pagoda above, and at least it shows that the secret realm of migration here is indeed somewhere in the Hui Pagoda."
Qiong followed Fan Ning's gesture and looked upward. The dazzling and violent light penetrated the child's hole. Due to the obstruction of the branches, the intensity of the illumination was somewhat reduced, but it was enough to illuminate the skull in the dream with cracks.
"The observation angle of Qiming Church actually has two climbing paths of 'Candle' and 'Key' at the same time. I always thought that the hidden knowledge that Caroln studied successively came from the 'Unfallen Fire' and the 'Tower Builder'. Now,
It seems not!...It is unlikely that their secrets will appear in the same secret realm of migration. Which witness master created these words and traces? There are so many secrets in Caron, and I used to
I am exactly the same..."
Qiong observed part of the climbing path of the "candle" with a golden halo like an annular solar eclipse, entangled and rippling black shadows, and a torrent of brilliant flames. It was relatively unfamiliar, and she also observed something more familiar to her, with endless shapes.
The path is clearly defined and gleaming with lightning or the "key" to a deeper purple secret.
"No, that's..."
She suddenly discovered some special "branches" or "tunnels". The key "nodes" or "caves" are still the doors related to "candles", but the texture and light and shadow of the roads are completely different from the existing ones.
It has a complex structure and no abnormal tissue that can ulcerate or proliferate.
They are relatively slender and narrow in appearance, and the higher they go, the closer they are to nothingness. The pale golden light shines in them, and the flowing knowledge is very familiar. It is not close to their own characteristics, but close to Fan Ning's aura.
"This is the key to the 'Gate of Lights and Shadows' that I am currently researching." Fan Ning said, "I plan to use my "Third Symphony" to explore the structure of the metaphorical tower. Do you think this attempt is reliable? If it is empirically
If possible, this 'Light Shadow Door' key is just a starting point, and I will most likely climb up along this path in the future."
Fan Ning sincerely felt that with the completion of his first two movements, it was much more stable than the new state that could collapse at any time when he first saw it, and it had also moved up from the state of the cornerstone to the metaphorical secret.
Reached the height of the second door.
Since the form of this key is only "discussion" or "metaphor", as the "Symphony No. 3 in D minor" to realize it, it does not need to go through a formal performance process, as long as you successfully complete the process from the first level to the second level.
With the creation and metaphor of the sixth door, you should be able to hold it and pass through the "Gate of Lights and Shadows".
As for going higher... At that time, he had already felt that the solution to the two-fold door "Gate of Enlightenment" with "candle" may be related to "Gate", and the solution to the three-fold door "Gate of Whirlpool" with "candle" may be related to art.
It is related to breakthroughs in theoretical integration, but because the promotion is not high enough and the "distance" is not close enough, the details of this knowledge are not "observed" clearly.
When you are officially promoted to the Knower later on, you should be able to rely on this self-built, unique climbing path to get a clearer glimpse of the key form of the future door.
"Did you study the climbing path yourself?..." Qiong felt that her knowledge was not enough for a while.
"That's right. Is there any similar precedent in history that can be used as a reference?"
"I really don't know..."
Although in the basic common sense of occultism, there are some general statements that are correct, such as "the appearance and will of the world are real and influence each other"... but those are just theories. She has never seen the appearance of the world.
Mortal creatures can actually use works of art to change the upper structure of Huita!
"At least, based on your experience, is it a climbing path?" Fan Ning continued to try to confirm.
Promotion to the Deep One is accompanied by huge dangers and essential changes. It will definitely be safer to ask Qiong, who has reached the level of half an Order Enforcer, for more advice.
"Theoretically speaking, as long as you connect some doors with different upper and lower relationships, it is called a climbing path. The phase of the door involved is the climbing path of that phase. Naturally, you can do the same."
"But Huita's original climbing paths were all formed under the influence of the Lord of Witnesses, or in other words, they were the trajectories that they had ascended and traveled through. The purpose of finding the key is to use these trajectories to cross the door again. Someone has left.
On the main road, some people took detours, and others took the more unpopular forks. Some people even took detours and went to other phases because the road ahead was so bad... But people like you just took the road without a trace.
I might have to look back again to see if there are any similar examples..."
"I think you can give it a try. Conventional keys are not absolutely secure. The way you have tailored your own inspiration tells me intuitively that it may be a good thing and may bring about different changes in the future.
You have always been different..."
After the two of them returned to the podium, Qiong saw that Fan Ning seemed to be thinking or having something on his mind, so she stood in front of her and waited for him to speak.
Fan Ning took hundreds of breaths before he sorted out all the confusing information and asked again:
"What kind of secret organization or related witness lord would have a secret ritual step or tribute process of punching holes in a person's skull?"
Surprise flashed across Qiong's eyes:
"Tongmu, have you come into contact with the mysterious factors related to her?"
Fan Ning frowned and asked: "It seems that he was an existence that you met when you accidentally entered the 'Cracking Field' in your dream and was promoted to a knowledgeable person before your past memories were awakened?"
Then he added some details to the "path reconstruction method" discovered in the ruins of the Grand Palace School that day.
He remembered that on the schematic diagram at that time, there were some local red areas marked on the human skull and bones.
After listening quietly, Qiong asked: "You mean, the so-called 'marking' of the old organist of Vienne was that he was carried out a skull drilling operation while carrying a token?"
"The change of the return route and the marking of the ritual legend are 80% certain." Fan Ning nodded, "And I often see stalls that turn this 'business' into a business in the streets and alleys of the Southern Continent.
It’s hard to believe it’s a coincidence, so it’s almost certain.”
He recalled what she said when he asked Luna: "Since this is another unexpected discovery related to Vienne, I asked the southerner around me, and she said that the skull drilling was indeed a project from the Principality of Chaos.
The folk customs passed down from that period include but are not limited to 'curing diseases', 'relieving pain', 'activating thinking', 'calling on gods and spirits', etc. However, most of these stall owners today are actually scammers.
Can’t tell you more detailed information…”
Qiong searched for what she had seen and heard, as well as what she had learned from studying the ‘Key’, and after pondering for a while, she spoke:
"That secret organization is called the 'Holy Wounds Order', or calls itself the 'Holy Wounds Society'."
