Chapter 1453 Balance

That was when I first came to this world.

Lying on the cold ground, I slowly opened my eyes. Everywhere I looked, there were ruins, broken walls, and bloody corpses, just like hell.

At this moment, although there were no blood or corpses, it still made me tremble: what just happened, could it be

With a sudden excitement, he sat up from the ground, looked around, thought for a while, and then felt relieved.

It seemed that the damage scope was only slightly larger than the back hall hut, and it did not hurt the high priest and others, which can be regarded as erasing my psychological burden.

I vaguely remember that before leaving, the high priest told me to go to the main hall to find her, as if he wanted to tell me something.

But

After walking out of the back hall, I looked around and couldn't help but frown: Where is the main hall of this huge mansion?

Just at this moment, a door in the corridor opened, and a female waiter came out slowly. Seeing me looking at her, she nodded slightly at me and said respectfully: "Master An Xiaoyi, please follow me."

I didn't ask her where she was taking me, I just followed her in confusion.

After walking around for about five minutes, I finally reached the end of the corridor. When I turned a corner, a majestic hall appeared in front of me.

In the middle of the hall, there are four sofas. In the middle of the sofa is a coffee table. On the coffee table, there is an ivory teapot. Around the teapot, there are two jade teacups. The teacups are full of tea and are steaming.

On one of the sofas, there was an old man sitting, looking at me with a smile on his face - it was the high priest.

"Come", the high priest waved his hand towards me, then pointed to the sofa opposite and said, "Sit down."

Following the instructions of the high priest, I sat down on the sofa. This was a leather sofa that seemed to have been polished. It had a smooth surface and was very elastic. It should be very comfortable to sit on it. However, before my buttocks could even sit firmly, I heard an awkward sound. It came out, a little wet and glutinous.

I subconsciously raised my butt and reached out to touch it, eh?

Why is the bottom of your butt wet?

While I was wondering, I moved my hand up and down again, and found that not only my butt was wet, but my entire pants seemed to be wet. No, it seemed that not only my entire pants, but also my clothes were wet!

"Drink the tea and go take a shower," the high priest said.

When I lowered my head, I saw that one of the jade teacups had been pushed in front of me. The tea in the cup was different from before. It was light yellow. At the same time, it not only smelled of tea, but also had bursts of hot air.

This should be a good cup of tea, but

Swallowing, I never dared to move it.

The experience just now is unforgettable for me. It was only one cup of tea, and I almost went crazy with pain. Now I have another cup. Who knows whether this cup is the same as that cup.

"Drink," the high priest said, "This is just an ordinary cup of tea."

Ordinary tea?

In other words, that cup of tea just now was no longer ordinary?

After hesitating for a moment, I finally chose to drink it all in one gulp. Forget it, since the high priest said so, I had the right to accept my fate.

There's just one doubt that I still can't let go of.

What was that cup of tea before?

Why does it make me so uncomfortable?

Could it be some kind of potent poison?

No, this shouldn't be possible.

You know, my current physique is immune to toxins. Even the scorpions and spiders that can kill people in an instant like those in Huangling, their toxins have no effect on me.

If not a toxin, what could it be?

Doubts continued in my mind, so I put the finished tea cup back on the coffee table. I didn't get up to take a bath immediately. Instead, I stood there and felt the changes in my belly.

More than two minutes passed in the blink of an eye, and nothing happened.

The high priest opposite picked up the tea cup, took a sip and said, "This is just ordinary tribute tea. It won't cause any discomfort. You can go and wash up."

I then responded quietly and followed the waiter to the bathroom.

After washing up, I put on new clothes and sat back on the sofa, feeling refreshed and comfortable.

The high priest first smiled and pointed at my hair: "I haven't seen you for many days, and it has grown more than two inches."

"Hehe" I smiled and scratched my hair, then got straight to the point and asked: "Master High Priest, do you know what I am here to ask?"

"If I didn't know, how could I let you drink that cup of medicinal tea?" the high priest said slowly.

"Medicinal tea?" I thought of the cup of light green tea I drank before. It seemed that it was indeed not poison, but just medicine. No wonder I had a reaction. My body is immune to toxins, but I am not immune to the effects of medicine.

The high priest continued: "Being unable to possess the power of transformation is not necessarily a bad thing."

"Uh" I said with a question mark on my face, "I don't understand what you said."

The high priest did not continue to explain. With a wave, the waiter quickly found an hourglass and handed it to her. She showed the hourglass to me and said, "Child, do you know why the fine sand in the hourglass pours down from the top?"

I shook my head.

"That's because the top position is high and the bottom position is low." She said and laid the hourglass flat again. After laying the hourglass flat, the sand-filled end of the hourglass continued to have fine sand flowing into it through the narrow slit in the middle. The other end soon reached an approximate balance, and the fine sand no longer overflowed toward one end.

The high priest continued: "When it reaches a level, the fine sand will no longer flow in either direction. Do you know why?"

I really want to answer: Because gravity is downward, not left and right.

But saying this at this time is obviously a bit misleading, because no matter how you think about it, what the high priest wants to express has absolutely nothing to do with physical knowledge such as gravity.

So I chose to shake my head: "I don't know."

The high priest smiled and said: "That's because the two that are level maintain a balance, while the two that are high and low cannot achieve balance."

"That's it." I nodded a little, and then sighed: "But I still don't quite understand."

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. Just listen slowly and think slowly and you will understand." The high priest said: "The example I just gave is just a metaphor. It is a metaphor for the relationship between the power of transformation and you."

"Ah!" In a trance, a bright light lit up in my mind. In an instant, I somewhat understood the meaning of the high priest's words, and blurted out: "You mean, the power I have now is actually the same as before the transformation. They’re almost as strong as each other, aren’t they?”

The high priest nodded, then shook his head.

A nod means recognition, a shake of the head means...

"Not entirely correct." Before I could ask, the high priest explained the meaning of shaking his head: "To be precise, your power is not as simple as the power of degeneration."

"what do you mean"

The high priest said solemnly: "If it is just the power of transformation, the god may not give you the gift of Holy Light, but it will definitely let you do the task of transformation, because only by transformation can it be possible to climb that mountain in the future. Domain, but after you touched the idol, not only was there no holy light, but the task of transformation was not issued either. In this case, there is only one possibility."
