Alchemy

Refining Yang Outer Chapter 4

The boundless darkness! Endless silence!

Ding Lei's consciousness slowly recovered, but he was shocked to find that he was surrounded by boundless darkness and silence.

His whole body curled up like a ball and immersed in a warm and wet **.

He tried to move his hands and feet, but found that his limbs could not move.

He tried his best to open his eyes, but he couldn't open them.

He wanted to call for help in horror, but he opened his mouth but made no sound.

He felt it carefully, but he only felt a warmth surrounding his body. His skin can't feel even a trace of cloth.

He - it should be completely ** now!

Ding Lei is really afraid. This is a kind of fear that he can't control his own fate at all. Even the smallest tail finger of his body doesn't listen to his command.

Ding Lei tried his best to recall what had happened before.

Who am I?

Where do I come from?

What the hell happened?

As soon as Ding Lei's brain flashed these problems, he felt a headache as if it was about to crack. He didn't want to recall it anymore, but a voice in his subconscious told him that he must think about it, otherwise he would never remember these problems again. He would lose himself forever and become another one. A completely strange existence.

No! I can't forget myself, I want to remember!

I want to remember--

Who am I?

Where do I come from?

What happened?

Ding Lei's head hurt violently, and he felt that he had never felt so much pain in his memory. It was so painful that he wanted to split his head with a sharp weapon.

But his limbs can't move like a stone sculpture. He could only endure the heartbreaking pain and roar in his heart.

Who am I--

Who am I--

I don't know how long it took, there seems to be no time here, only darkness and silence.

Finally! Ding Lei's headache was not so much. His pain was not tolerated in vain. He recalled something.

It's just that these memories are somewhat vague and not very clear. It's like a very distant memory, and it's also a little like watching other people's lives. They can't completely coincide with themselves. They are truly integrated and have no gaps.

My name is Ding Lei? Ding Lei thought of it.

He saw his life as if he were watching a documentary movie.

In fact, it is more like looking at another person's life. This person is not himself, but he feels very familiar and should have a very close and subtle relationship with himself.

He! Who the hell is it?

In the picture, "he" was born in a small mountain city in the south-central part of Country Z. A loud and crisp baby crying sounded. A young woman with a beautiful and sweaty face grew a sigh of breath and leaned against the delivery** tiredly, and her face, which had been tortured by pain for several hours, was full of smiles.

A man of about 30 waiting outside the hospital delivery room suddenly stood up, his frown stretched out, and a smile appeared on his hard face.

Time flies. "He" gradually grew up and knew the situation of his family.

Father Ding Xiangming, an ordinary employee of the county power system. Mother Wang Luomei is a Chinese teacher in County No. 1 Middle School. Grandpa Ding Shi is the old workshop director of the county electromechanical plant. His grandmother is the accountant of the former county supply and marketing cooperative, and the old couple have retired at home. There is also an uncle named Ding Xiangzhi, who runs an auto repair factory by himself.

And "he", Grandpa gave him a name, Ding Lei.

Generally speaking, the "he" family is an ordinary family in an ordinary mountain city. Like thousands of families in Country Z, it is ordinary, ordinary, but full of warmth and pleasure.

"His" infant life is the same as that of hundreds of millions of ordinary babies, which is no different.

Since he was three years old, his grandfather began to teach him some strange movements, and he had to do it for at least two hours a day.

Those movements are not easy for "he" who is just 3 years old. He always doesn't do well, or insists very hard, but when "he" doesn't want to do it, the originally kind and kind grandfather has a serious face, and "he" still continues to persist.

Later, "he" learned that the action he did was called "Taiji", and his grandfather Ding Shi was originally a sideline of a relatively large family. The ancestral kung fu of this family was "Ding's Taiji".

When Grandpa was young, he left the family for some reason and came to live in the mountain city, but the inheritance of the family has never been put down, including his father and uncle who have practiced Tai Chi since childhood.

At the beginning, although "he" did it according to Grandpa's requirements, he never understood the use of practicing these, so he has always been perfunctory.

Until one day, his father took him to play on the street and met two gangsters. In his frightened and worried eyes, his father hit the two knife-wield thieves to the ground with only a few movements.

"He" was surprised to find that several movements used by his father were Tai Chi movements that he often practiced and thought were useless. It's just that my father used it more fiercely and quickly.

I didn't expect that Tai Chi, which seems to be slow on weekdays, could be so fast and fierce.

"He"'s interest was mobilized, and he began to no longer perfunctorily do his usual homework, and also took the initiative to extend the practice time of 3 hours a day to 5 hours.

Later, he went to school and no longer had enough time. He still maintained 3 hours of practice every day.

And the foundation of "he" is also getting deeper and deeper with unremitting efforts, and his body is getting stronger and stronger, but Taiji does not pay attention to the tempering of muscles and body shape, so from the appearance, "he" does not show particularly strong, unlike young people who practice judo and taekwondo, which can be reflected in appearance. Come on.

"He" is just restrained and ordinary in appearance, but his eyes are very sharp at the beginning. He is often scared by his classmates who occasionally make eye contact with "he".

However, with the continuous deepening of his skills, the profit in his eyes also slowly converge into the depths of his eyes. Others seem to be just an ordinary, slightly thin and elegant student.

It's just that "he" will do something to "shock" his classmates and teachers if he doesn't pay attention to it in his daily life.

Once he ran the 100-meter test for 10 seconds and 2. When the physical education teacher felt that he had found a world champion and was ecstatically ready to recommend "he" to the provincial sports team, "he" said that either the physical education teacher's stopwatch was broken or the physical education teacher's stop. The key is wrong, and it is required to be retested.

After the retest, the physical education teacher looked at the number of 13 seconds and 4 on the stopwatch and was puzzled.

Once again, a cement pillar suddenly fell down on the school playground, and several female students gathered under the pillar. In everyone's amazement, "he" rushed up and abruptly resisted nearly 2 tons of cement columns with both hands.

After that, "he" could not explain where his superhuman strength came from, and he could only learn once.

After transferring to a new school, similar things happened to him several times, and he could only transfer again.

Fortunately, when "he" transferred the only three middle schools in the small town, it was also time for the college entrance examination. "He" was admitted to the Department of International Finance of North Tsinghua University, the most famous in Z country, and became the proud son of heaven in that small mountain city.

On the university campus, "he" began his first relationship in his life. After a very old-fashioned hero saved the beauty, he naturally developed feelings with the rescued heroine.

The girl is a school beauty of the Chinese Academy, and her outstanding posture makes her the heroine of the old-fashioned "hero to save beauty".

With the fairy tale dream of Prince Charming to save the princess in every girl's heart, she naturally fell in love with this "hero" who can give him a sense of security.

As the "first brother", "he" soon fell into the whirlpool of this emotion, and the princess in his heart was in love, like a dream, in a fairyland, and did not know that the east was white.

And dreams always wake up, and fairyland does not exist.

It's time to graduate soon. What "he" never expected was that the school beauty said to "he" that society was too cruel. If they were together, they could only be "house slaves" in the capital. The miserable life was not what she wanted, so they could only break up.

A bolt from the blue! The simple "he" can't accept that the first love in his life ended because of such a shallow reason, but he also knows that his family absolutely has no financial strength to buy a house under the high housing price in the capital.

"He" can only watch his girlfriend go. His heart is broken.

"He" gave up his job in a state-owned enterprise that had been found in the capital. With the help of a classmate's father, "he" became an ocean-going crew member.

"He" wants to use the breadth of the sea and the boundlessness of the world to relieve his sorrow and find himself again.

- The worry of "he" can't be solved by this boundless sea!

- The resentment of "he" can't disperse without this boundless world!

Seeing this, the picture suddenly became fragmented, and countless scene fragments flew in mid-air.

A bronze relief emerged from the depths of time and space and couldn't help turning over. Countless huge stripes appeared on the back of the bronze relief. These stripes crisscrossed, creating an extremely complex and mysterious rune.

The rotation speed of the bronze relief is getting faster and faster. Finally, the appearance of the relief completely disappears, forming a black hole in the air, and the black hole generates a huge suction that devours everything. Everything in hundreds of millions of time and space quickly gathered towards the black hole until there was only such a small black dot in the vast universe...

Suddenly, Ding Lei felt that he had done his hand. Although it was very slight, it did move.

Ding Lei was overjoyed. He clenched his fist hard, clenched it, and then clenched it. Finally, he felt that he could control his hand. He scratched it with his hand and felt that it touched a wall. The wall was very elastic and suddenly bounced his hand back.

Ding Lei opened his hand and grabbed it, but he didn't catch anything. The material around him slipped out of his fingers, and his hand was empty.

He wanted to touch the surrounding environment again to see where he was trapped. In the memory fragments just now, he remembered that the last picture was that he was swept into a huge whirlpool with a big ship. Is he still in the sea?

Suddenly, Ding Lei felt that the warm liquid around him was flowing away quickly. Soon his feet left **, and then his thighs, waist, chest... Then the surrounding walls squirmed and contracted, and his body involuntarily moved forward with **.

He suddenly felt that his head was passing through a narrow hole. His head was so painful. He wanted to retreat, but his body still couldn't help moving out. He felt that his head was squeezed out.

After a while, he felt relaxed on the top of his head. Then, the darkness suddenly disappeared, and there was a white light in front of him. A pair of big hands stretched out to pinch his neck and pulled it forward hard. His whole body was pulled out of a narrow space.

A loud and loud voice suddenly came around: "Come out! Come out!"

Ding Lei wanted to open his eyes and look around, and the voice sounded again: "Oh! Why don't you cry? Is there something wrong?

Then Ding Lei felt that he was grabbed and picked up his feet upside down, and then he was slapped heavily on his buttocks.

Ding Lei is furious, damn it! Who dares to spank my ass! He opened his mouth and cursed, but he heard a cry of the baby "Wow-wow-" in his mouth.

The voice took a long breath: "Okay, okay! Crying, it's good!"

Ding Lei finally opened his eyes, and everything he saw in front of him made him very frightened.

I am in a dark house. The top of the house is covered with wooden rafts and purlins. There may be a small oil lamp beside it, and the figures in the room can't help beating with the flames.

A tall and strong woman is grabbing her legs and wiping her body with hot water with a white cloth towel. She was said to be a woman because she wore a bun on her head and a skirt.

Next to it was a kang. The kang was very messy. A woman who could not see clearly lay in a quilt, and there were several pieces of blood-stained white cloth beside her.

Suddenly, a middle-aged man broke in from the door and roared in a thunderous voice, "Have you been born? What is it?

He looked carefully between Ding Lei's legs with the oil lamp, and suddenly clapped his hands and laughed: "Haha! It's a handle, okay! I also have a son. Hahahaha!"

Ding Lei was stunned. He looked at his body and saw the body of a white baby. His little arms and calves were like matchsticks. The guy in the middle of his legs was even worse than a bean sprout.

He really couldn't accept the status quo, so he had to close his eyes, tilt his head, and faint.

――――――――――――

Dozens of miles away!

The wild beasts in the mountains, whether they are ordinary pheasants and hares, goats and wild deer, or fierce tigers, cheetahs, and wild lions and fierce bears, suddenly converge their lives and lie on the ground like cicadas.

Hundreds of miles away!

Suddenly, there were a lot of dark shadows on the roof, spreading a strong atmosphere one by one, constantly asking: Who broke through again?

Thousands of miles away!

An old man sitting cross-legged suddenly opened his eyes, and a light was shining several meters away from his eyes. He flew straight into the air and muttered to the distant sky:

The spirit of chaos appears in the world! Did the thousand-year-old legend finally appear?

........................................................................

————————————————————

It's a sunny day!

The red sun hangs in the middle of the sky. Although the sun is good, it is not very hot.

A turbulent waterfall ran down from the cliff and fell into the pool below the cliff, splashing countless waves.

The sound of the waterfall falling into the water is like dozens of running horses hissing. Although it is not tens of thousands of horses galloping, it is quite spectacular.

There are several huge stones directly below the waterfall. After years of erosion of the waterfall, the edges and corners of the stone are exhausted, forming a round and round pebble. At this time, on one of the largest pebbles, there was a figure standing on the stone, receiving the impact of the waterfall.

Although the water flow of the waterfall is not very wide, it rushes down vertically from the cliff 20 feet high, and the impact force that falls is at least a few tons. Ordinary people will be hit into the pool by the huge impact even if they arrive at the bottom of the waterfall.

But on the stone under the waterfall, tons of water fell from the sky and fell on him. He actually persisted. Although his body was still shaking, he still stood firmly on the stone.

After a stick of incense, he still couldn't hold on and was washed into the pool by a huge current.

For a moment, a head appeared on the edge of the pool, followed by the whole body from the pool to the shore.

I can see clearly that this person who can stick to a fragrance under the turbulent waterfall is actually a child.

The boy seems to be only three years old, with beautiful eyebrows and short hair on his head. Now he is covered with drops of water and naked. He just hangs a bronze sculpture with a red rope on his neck, revealing his bronze skin. The muscles on the body are not very prominent, but there seems to be a powerful force hidden under the skin.

The boy climbed up the shore. It seemed that the impact of the waterfall just now exhausted his whole body. He lay on a smooth blue stone on his back, letting the warm sun shine on his body full of water, closing his eyes and breathing slowly.

The rhythm of his breathing is very slow, and there seems to be something hidden. This was an amazing thing that happened. The bronze piece hanging on the boy's chest actually emitted a faint mist, which penetrated into the boy's body like a fog through the boy's skin.

After another time of incense, the boy's eyes opened, and his eyes seemed to flash, but soon disappeared in the depths of his eyes.

He jumped up from the bluestone and was strong, as if such a fragrant rest restored all his strength. The boy muttered, "I can only stick to a stick to the incense time. Why can't it be longer?" Forget it, let's go back early, or my mother will be worried.

The boy put on his clothes and walked out. As soon as he walked a few steps, his eyes were attracted by something.

Under a cluster of wild fruits, a light blue ball emitted a faint flash. The boy's eyes seemed to be firmly sucked by the ball and could no longer be moved.

"What is it?"
