Chapter 5 Mutations

   After a few days, the three of them returned with joy.

Dasha decides to study after returning home, there are other places in China that are not well-known but worth watching, Mr. Jia is going to prepare the code, and two editors have called to urge them in the past few days. drafted.

  Xu Guangling embarked on the journey back.

In fact, he wanted to stay in Yuxi directly, but he had some necessary things left in the previous rented house, and he had not yet handed over to the landlord, so he had to go back and clean up his hands, as to whether and when he would go back. Came here again, but it was still uncertain.

   It has been several years, and Xu Guangling has not "planned" to do anything.

People who have no emotional restraint or lose their emotional bonds may become heroes, unscrupulously advancing towards the established goal, they may become eccentrics, and they may be both good and evil. But life does not have any plan, loses any clear directionality, and exists in a chaotic form, and no one knows where he will be and what he will do in the next moment.

  Because he didn't even know it.

   The three of them split hands at the Kunming Railway Station, and then each went in a different direction. Xu Guangling still took the train of the previous train to return. Thanks to modern technology, there is no need to queue up to buy tickets. You can book it early, or you can even not book it, because there are many self-service ticket windows in the railway station now, which is crowded with people. The sight of queuing up to sell tickets is likely to be gone forever.

  It is twenty-four hours when you come, and it is still twenty-four hours when you go back.

   After about thirty hours, Xu Guangling returned to the rental place, took a hot shower, and then went to sleep.

When I woke up, night had come, standing at the window as if I didn't seem to think about it, and stood there for more than an hour, and then Xu Guangling turned on the light and sat in front of the desk casually looking at the music from The stone brought back from the bottom of Fuxian Lake.

  The shape of the stone is a rectangle, specifically, a brick shape, but it is larger than ordinary bricks, and it is much heavier and quite textured. It is not like a stone, but a metal block.

Although the stone has been preliminarily cleaned before, there are still small potholes on the surface, which are thick moss-like substances and sediments at the bottom of the lake. Don't look at it as just a random stone. In terms of age, I don't know. How old is it.

   After playing around for a while, Xu Guangling took a sharpening stone from the corner of the desk and planned to polish it.

   As for why there is a sharpening stone, it is very simple. More than a year ago, Xu Guangling bought a complete set of carving tools either out of boredom or out of memory. Small carvings, such as seals, were one of Xu's father's hobbies, and it was also Xu Guangling's hobby because he was familiar with it since childhood.

  The sharpening stone is one of the corner tools.

   Next, Xu Guangling put the heavy stone on the desk, and started turning the sharpening stone in his hand.

The movements are neither light nor heavy, and the speed is slow and calm. In terms of speed, it really does not look like the movements of a young man, but shows the characteristics of an old man or an old master. I can't find the slightest frivolity and impatience. The fixed and rhythmic grinding sound seemed to last forever.

   But it's just a stone slightly bigger than a brick after all.

   Therefore, although Xu Guangling polished it very carefully and calmly, it still only took less than an hour to polish its six sides to a complete transparency. After careful cleaning again, what appeared in Xu Guangling's hand was a very flat and square stone, slightly cyan.

   Looking at it again, Xu Guangling couldn't help but be surprised, because this stone was unexpectedly square, it could even be said to be extremely square!

   This doesn't look like a naturally occurring thing at all.

  Is it really a prehistoric ancient city building stone? But it's not right, it's too small. Or, this is an ordinary blue brick that fell into Fuxian Lake in the previous era? But it's still not right. This is obviously not the material of blue bricks. It is much heavier and more delicate than blue bricks.

   After thinking about it for a while, Xu Guangling did not find the answer. Of course, this doesn't actually require an answer.

  Unknown, then unknown.

   Afterwards, Xu Guangling took the carving knife and planned to use this big bluestone as a small seal, engraved a few words on it, and chatted as a logo.

   "At the bottom of Fuxian Lake, I will carry it in memory."

   After thinking for a while, Xu Guangling planned to engrave these words.

Although it is said to be engraved as a seal, it is not a seal after all, and therefore, there is no need to engrave it in reverse. Next, Xu Guangling is like writing, using the carving knife as the pen and the bluestone as the paper, slowly and forcefully. "Writing".

  The material of bluestone is extremely hard, and it is a bit difficult to write, but the carving knife in my hand can barely handle it.

  touch, fairy, lake, bottom.

   Remember, read…

It was completed word by word. Xu Guangling was engraving the word "Zhi" at this time. This should be the most concise word. There are only three paintings, and the third painting, which is the leg of the zigzag. At that moment, Xu Guangling lost his hand.

   This miss was not Xu Guangling's fault.

Slow, meticulous and extremely patient operation, normally it is impossible to make any misses, and the reason for the misses at this time is that the engraving knife has written on the extremely hard material before, and then the next moment, suddenly ground, the material has undergone great changes.

   As if stabbing an egg shell, the carving knife seemed to transition from the extremely hard bluestone to tofu or cream.

   Nearly one-third of the entire carving knife was submerged in the bluestone.

And just when Xu Guangling was stunned by this unexpected surprise, a faint azure light, slightly similar in color to bluestone, but much deeper and purer azure light, was like a small green snake, flashing with lightning speed. Before he could hide his ears, he drilled out of the bluestone, or else flashed out, and plunged straight into Xu Guangling's forehead.

   If it was said that he was stunned before, then Xu Guangling was horrified this time.

   No matter how indifferent, no matter how he doesn't seem to care about everything, in essence, he is still just a young man after all. In the face of this extremely bizarre change, Xu Guangling still lost his usual composure.

   In an instant, many messy thoughts popped up.

   "Is this the immortal's relic?" Xu Guangling thought of the word "immortal" in Fuxian Lake.

   "Am I parasitized by some kind of creature?" Xu Guangling thought of the plot in the movie Alien Species.

  …

   The scene just now was by no means an illusion.

  Xu Guangling will not deceive himself, let alone think that what happened just now is very ordinary. Although Xu Guangling's body didn't have any strange feeling until now, it didn't mean that nothing would happen. It would be best if nothing would happen, but Xu Guangling didn't dare to think so, and his calm thinking would not allow him to think so.

Is    good or bad?

   Well, naturally, needless to say.

   Is it bad, will he wake up tomorrow, or after a while, he will no longer be him, but will be deprived of his body by some kind of creature?

   Putting down the bluestone and the carving knife, Xu Guangling came to the window again, silent, and stood there for a long time. At this time, in the morning of Hua Deng, neon lights from far and near flicker, interweaving a bustling night of a modern city.

   And on such a night, how many times can he watch it again?

  Even, could this be the last time?
