Chapter 16
She thought she would find something surprising on the other side of the water mirror, but when she opened her eyes, she realized that she had thought too much.
Since it was a water mirror, there was a vast expanse of water all around, except for the uneven rock reefs more than two feet wide under her feet. When she came out of the water mirror, from the perspective of this world, she looked like she was standing straight out of the water.
The night was clear all around, and the whole world seemed empty, except for the water surface and the gloomy sky.
Tsk, it feels like a Western fantasy film.
The water and sky in front of me are colorless, hazy, not hazy, but gloomy. This is the scene created by Jennifer. When a mortal comes in, he will feel that the air is very fresh and clear, so transparent that it makes people breathless and unable to stay for long.
With chest tightness and heart suffocation, and her limbs slightly limp, Sang Yue gasped hard, covered her heart and stumbled to a stone platform.
This stone platform is about half a person tall, standing on a small column, with a petal-shaped stone plate on the top, which contains a pool of clear water. This is the spring that Mora was talking about, because the water in the flower plate is inexhaustible.
That’s why it’s called a spring. Although you can’t find anything resembling a spring when looking horizontally or vertically.
There is no gap at the bottom of the flower plate. Even Maura herself doesn’t know where the water in the plate comes from. From its consciousness, we learned that this plate of water has been a part of it since it was refined into consciousness by Jennifer.
The water in the plate did not spill out, but the spiritual energy was particularly strong.
This is probably the source of the spiritual power of the Magic Manor, which is called magic power by Jennifer and others. Perhaps the spiritual spring was too small and the previous owners were not engaged in production, resulting in insufficient output of spiritual power, which caused Mora to fall into a deep sleep.
Sang Yue reached out and touched the petal-shaped outline of the stone plate. It felt cool and solid.
Don’t touch the water in the plate for the time being. It is a dangerous substance that can explode if a mortal takes a sip, so be careful. After looking closely, she couldn't hold her breath anymore. When her soul was about to leave her body and ascend to heaven, Sang Yue had no choice but to throw herself towards the water.
The way of entering and exiting the spring felt very strange. She was obviously jumping towards the water, but the next moment she was standing on the floor of the cloakroom of Sangzhai as down-to-earth as if she had stepped over a threshold.
The moment he came out of the mirror, the heavy feeling in his heart disappeared without a trace. She had been out of breath, like a fish that had been deprived of water for a long time, and was finally able to take a big breath.
"Look, you will come out within less than two minutes after you go in. Do you know how powerful the holy water is?" Maura whispered, her voice full of gloating.
"This is not holy water," Sang Yue stroked her heart a few times, finished breathing, left the cloakroom and went to the living room to drink a glass of water to calm down. The hair cleanses the marrow and the bones are reborn.”
Based on her years of experience watching Western movies, the holy water they talk about is basically a magic weapon for purifying evil spirits.
But in Maura's consciousness, this spring water has no effect on expelling spirits and can only refine medicine. Therefore, it is very likely that it is the spiritual spring and fairy spring water mentioned in ancient Chinese fairy tales. You can drink it in moderation, but don’t overdo it.
Too much is not enough, even if it is a spiritual spring, you cannot drink from it.
"Moura, you may be the magic weapon of my Dongfang Immortal Sect, and you have somehow strayed outside." Sang Yue boldly speculated, "The pattern marks on the petals and stone discs of Shengling Spring, no matter how you look at them, they are... It’s more like the texture of my ancient oriental things.”
With a quick glance, she saw some details.
"It's not important," Maura didn't care about her speculation, "I just want to live, you hurry up and make the medicine."
It almost fell asleep and even disappeared, and I still have lingering fears.
Life is not easy, so how can you think about where you were born? It doesn't matter whether it comes from the east or the west, whether it's a sacred weapon or a magic weapon, it only needs magic power to maintain its consciousness.
The hosts who know about holy water and have used it include Jennifer from the first session and Maggie from the third session. She was originally a white witch who lived in seclusion in a mountain village as an ordinary peasant woman, collecting mountain herbs from time to time to treat illnesses and save lives. Although the villagers benefited a lot, when the royal family posted notices to hunt down witches, her expertise in using mountain herbs to treat illnesses became irrefutable evidence that she was reported.
Not only was she tied to the firewood pile, but her two daughters were also pushed out by her husband and son who were seeking to protect themselves. They personally raised the torch to light the firewood at their feet. pyre.
In the eyes of those villagers, the blood of witches will be passed on to daughters, but not to sons.
So, her husband and son survived.
However, when she heard her two daughters go from crying and screaming to losing all breath, she couldn't help but turn black on the spot and massacre the village.
Since then, everywhere she went has been deserted, but there must have been no survivors. Black witches are ruthless in their methods and have no regard for martial ethics. They are good at using witchcraft to play with people's hearts and feed on the terror and resentment of all living beings.
He acted unscrupulously, and his magic power increased day by day. Within ten years, it surpassed Jennifer's magic power that sealed the spiritual spring.
So, Maggie was the second wizard to use the spiritual spring. She used the lives of all living creatures to test the effect of the concentration of the spiritual spring. Countless creatures died in her hands.
Both Jennifer and Maggie unanimously believed that the spring water was evil water dropped by the devil Satan and was used to harm the world.
Jennifer didn't dare to use it, but Maggie did.
Today, the ancient potions in the attic on the top floor of the manor were left behind by the dark wizard Maggie. None of the past masters dared to use it, for fear that they would accidentally become the devil's accomplice, and even more afraid that their own lives would be ruined.
Thanks to her, after her death, Maura also learned to use a certain amount of spring water to refine medicine for future Muggle masters.
And Sang Yue finally understood why the materials required for refining medicine were so common, yet potions with various effects could be produced. Since the spiritual spring is useful, the disgusting materials listed in the list given by Maura are no longer needed.
"You don't need to use anything else, but you must use the lizard's tail!" Maura yelled again.
It experienced deep sleep for the first time, and it didn’t want to do it again because it didn’t know when it would wake up. I don't even know if the next owner can find a way to wake it up after the current owner dies, such as growing vegetables to restore the magic power.
As said before, it doesn't want to die.
But there are too many surprises in the world of ordinary people, making it difficult to guard against. The best way is to make the owner immortal. In the future, even if she gets into a car accident, is struck by lightning, is poisoned, or chokes to death while eating, etc., it will have nothing to fear.
"I would like to thank you first for the household registration book, for cursing me so hard." Sensing its thoughts, Sang Yue said speechlessly.
Cursing her was useless, Maura was awake and she had answers to almost every question.
The only owner who used lizard severed tails to refine medicine was Maggie. After taking the medicine, she indeed had the ability to regenerate severed limbs. The troublesome thing is that it is temporary. The materials needed to make the medicine include spiritual springs and the magic power of the person who made the medicine.
Even Magi’s telepathy is not enough to refine a potion of immortality.
In addition, there is a fatal flaw in taking the potion of Tailing Lian. The wizard's ability determines its validity period ranging from half a year, one year or three years. Once expired, lizard-like marks will appear on the face of the person taking it.
Maggie wants both the appearance and the ability to regenerate severed limbs.
