Chapter 2 Entering Precepts
After a while, Zhang Fan was still in shock. He stood up tremblingly, walked a few steps, and tried to calm his emotions. After more than ten minutes, he went downstairs to clean his hands in front of the Buddha's case, lit three incense sticks, and prayed silently. Then, he burned a pot of water, returned to the upper floor, brewed a pot of tea, and recalled carefully.
It turned out that Zhang Fan used the light to check the ring under the magnifying glass. There was no change on the front, but the metallic luster felt that the hardness was much higher than that of silver. When he looked over the ring, he saw that under the magnifying glass, the inner patterns on the ring were clear and distinct. On one side, the four major religions disappeared. If it was replaced by the two words "Zhang Fan", the two words were his own name, and on the other side "∞" also turned into a line of number 8386. Why didn't this change make him shocked?
Zhang Fan mustered up the courage and reached out to pick up the ring, as if he was holding a hot chestnut, and then watched it under the desk lamp. The name and number are still the same, and the symbols were gone before, as if they had never appeared. It was not his own illusion!
Zhang Fan gently wiped the handwriting with his fingernails, and then scraped it hard, and it couldn't be removed. After pouring some water, it still couldn't be removed. Scraping the wood chips was useless. Knife, useless. Burning, file, sandpaper, bricks, hammers, stomping, teeth... All eighteen martial arts were all, and the ten tortures in the Qing Palace were busy. Not only was the handwriting clear, but the ring was not damaged at all! Instead, the light flowed backwards, which was even more attractive. What's even stranger is that no matter which finger you put it on, it was just right, from the little finger to the thumb, it seemed to be made for that finger, but the ring looked nothing changed!
It cannot be destroyed! The fine corundum sand grains on the sandpaper have a hardness of up to 9, and even the surface of the crystal can be worn out. Is it harder than diamonds?! Zhang Fan's mouth was bitter and he did not have the joy of finding the treasure. He vaguely felt that this was not a good thing! This ring seemed to have been specially found by him, as if someone from Taobao had given him a gift.
After thinking about it, I still put it on my little finger. Since it was found, I can't get rid of it. Tomorrow and Sunday, I guess the stall setter will be there, so I will find him to find out the situation.
…………
"Ah!..." Zhang Fan woke up from the nightmare screaming. He took a few breaths and calmed down. He gently stroked Jade who ran over when he heard the scream. Jade was obviously a little afraid of the ring and couldn't help but retreat.
Zhang Fan got up and took a sip of water. The coldness in his mouth restored his energy. He stretched out his left hand wearing the ring and wanted to take it off, but was deeply attracted by it. The simple ring face was full of brilliance. Now he could feel the dazzling luster that others would not see. In the eyes of outsiders, it was a dull and crappy product.
Zhang Fan shook his head, feeling a little nervous. He always dreamed that he became a habi in "The Lord of the Rings", lured himself out of the lava by the evil ring, burning his body! His soul was sent to the battlefield again, ancient, modern, cold weapons, and hot weapons! He wore he helmets and armor to fight with the terrifying Huns, and then he used guns to shoot the Japanese invaders rushing towards him! On the battlefield, evil spirits were flying, ghosts and monsters were rampant, gods and monsters changed their bodies and killed themselves, and he also fought with him with his identity as the scene. The only thing that remained unchanged was the same golden swords and iron horses, and the blood sea of corpse mountain!
The next day, Zhang Fan came to the market early in the morning. Sure enough, the stall owner set up a stall early, so he went up to greet him and asked carefully about the origin of the jewelry box. It turned out that the box was collected by the stall owner in the early years, and he didn't know where it came from. But recently he found it was a bit damaged, so he took it out to set up a stall. The ring was not fake. It was supposed to be with other small jewelry before, but it was not good-looking and no one liked it. I don't know how to get it into the gap. I have never seen the same ring before.
Zhang Fan chatted with him for a while and asked him to help pay attention if he saw the same ring. The stall owner naturally agreed. Finally, he bought the jewelry box. The stall owner was going back in the afternoon and started a business again, so he happily gave a discount. The two of them parted ways.
Zhang Fan hurried to the store and opened the jewelry box carefully to check it. Generally, this kind of box will have a mezzanine and a dark trunk to make it look delicate, but it is also easy to unravel. The stall owner and the person who have seen the box have naturally seen it. Sure enough, after opening it layer by layer, there was nothing. "The inside is really good, and it's a small leak." Put the box and put it aside. Then, boil it in water and make tea.
After 9 o'clock, Xiao Wang was the first to arrive again and brought a new tea. The two of them exchanged greetings, and friends from all walks of life also came one after another. Seeing that he was in a bad mood, he said a few words to pay attention to his health, and then he mentioned the recent flu. Hu Jie, who was in a vast sky, was naturally lively for a day.
At the close of the market, Zhang Fan took the jewelry box home. After a while, he went tossed for a while, but still had no gains. He only concluded that this box was undoubtedly the Jiaqing year of the Qing Dynasty. The workmanship was exquisite. After all, it was made by Su. The mother-of-pearl inlay patterns and vivid patterns should be passed down from the descendants of the wealthy families in the S city. But it was not a rare thing. Compared with the Qianlong red sandalwood inlayed eight-treasure jewelry box he collected, the red-inlayed white jade jewelry box inlayed in the middle of the Qing Dynasty was much inferior. Compared with the strange ring, this was just an ordinary antique.
Zhang Fan sighed and put some jade miscellaneous items on the table into the box. He wanted to take off the ring and study it again. After thinking for a while, he waved his hand and said, "Forget it, since you have come, you can rest assured." Unconsciously, I thought of a sentence in the Heart Sutra: The mind is free from worries, no worries, no fear, stay away from inverted dreams, and ultimately Nirvana. So he walked to the shelf and took out the "Vajra Heart Psychology" to read. For a moment, when he saw the depths, he threw the ring behind his head.
There was nothing to say for a night until the next day. The antique market on Monday was extremely deserted, and the street stalls outside the venue returned to peace after two days of lively. Zhang Fan also returned to his ordinary life, watching Piaotianyi in the store, looking at stocks, studying antiquities, drinking tea, closing home, the next day, the third day... It took another week, and the haze of the ring gradually shrank into the corner of his heart.
On Saturday morning, it became lively again, including Taobao, drinking tea, bragging, and going home to see parents. If the business hadn't been a little lighter, Zhang Fan would like this peaceful and interesting life.
Sunday, April 4th, the fifteenth day of the leap month of the lunar calendar, Nirvana Festival. It is advisable to sacrifice, seek wealth, sign a contract, marry, and make alliances. Taboos: open a market, set a bed, bury, enter a house, and break the ground.
As usual, after the life of drinking tea and bragging for a day, Zhang Fan returned home with a slightly disappointed heart. Because the leap month of February is the second Buddha Nirvana Day this year, Zhang Fan still fasted and recited the sutras and meditated and worshiped. He believed in Buddhism as a young man, and even worshiped an old monk in a temple near City C as a master. He learned some scriptures. Although he had not officially converted and became a lay Buddhist who practiced at home, he had a strong mind and could barely keep the five precepts of lay Buddhists.
At midnight, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and the light of the full moon was shining. Zhang Fan snored calmly, put his left hand on the bed, and the ring was slid, covering the moonlight. The air seemed to shake out a ripples, and the scenes in the bedroom blurred, instantly the light and shadow solidified, and time and space seemed to be frozen. The only thing that did not freeze was the luster of the ring and Zhang Fan.
Zhang Fan stood up inexplicably and sat on the bed in the bedroom. Suddenly, he was in a trance. He sat on a wooden chair in a room. Facing a mottled landing state, the mirror reflected his tired face sitting on the chair. He was not the clothes he wore before going to bed, but a short white robe.
What is this place? Zhang Fan thought tumultuously.
Suddenly, Zhang Fan woke up and looked at the ring that he had almost forgotten. "It must be your fault?"
As if responding to his words, the ring slid across a halo.
"So where is this?" Zhang Fan asked the ring with his head down.
"You have come to another world, and you will face an extremely cruel test." The answer rang out from the front. Zhang Fan was surprised, looked up suddenly, and looked in the mirror. It was clearly his own voice. He felt a chill on his body, and his hair was in awe.
Zhang Fan stood up and walked to the mirror. "Are you talking to me?" asked himself awkwardly in the mirror.
Zhang Fan in the mirror had no fear expression, but a peaceful look and a peaceful voice: "It can be said that it is not, what you see is not what you think."
"Why bring me here? What is this ring?" Zhang Fan insisted on calming down. This was really weird. He was talking to him in the mirror, which was crazy.
"The place you come to is closely related to the real world you are in. It can be said that this is a projection of your world. The ring is the bond connecting the two worlds. You are the ones you are selected to hold." Zhang Fan in the mirror said slowly.
"Why choose me? What's the point? What do you want me to do?" Zhang Fan still did not accept the situation in front of him. "I'm not dreaming, aren't I?" He pinched his thigh hard, which hurt.
"You are not in reality, and there is no difference between you and in dreams." Zhang Fan in the mirror continued to explain, still as peaceful as ever. "You chose you just because you met the requirement to come here. You can't do anything before you accept the test. The test is quite cruel, and failure will lead to death."
"What test? Why should I accept it?"
"The test of life and death. You have no choice." Zhang Fan in the mirror waved his hand to the edge of the mirror and continued: "In order to improve your survivability, you will give you a certain bonus to your basic situation. Please choose by yourself."
z At this time, please note that the mirror frame is very wide and there are several rows of characters. Next to each row is a frequency modulation slider that looks like an old radio.
Strength:———8——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Agility:—7—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Perception:————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Physical strength: 54 (endurance, manifestation of vitality; influenced by strength and agility; influenced by basic attributes of endurance and concentration; cannot be directly added by the bonus point, but can only be added passively.)
Spiritual power: 117 (If the awakened person reaches 65 or above, he can be accepted by the ring and guided into this space; influenced by spiritual awareness in perception; influenced by basic attribute intelligence and understanding; cannot be directly added by the bonus point, but can only be recharged by passively.)
Fortune: ———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Intelligence: 115. (The manifestation of creativity, memory, and resilience; influence spiritual power; inability to directly add.)
Understanding: 146. (Embodiment, analytical power, and the embodiment of teaching; influence spiritual power; cannot directly add.)
Endurance: 92. (Parsion, the embodiment of tolerance; affects physical strength; cannot directly add.)
Stamina: 110. (Control, the embodiment of resistance; affects physical strength; cannot directly add.)
Addition: 50. (After the addition is completed, make sure to press it.) The word add is protruding to form a button.
Zhang Fan gently pulled the power slider with his finger, slid to the left, and then turned back to the original place, which was very flexible. When sliding, the number of addition points continues to change with the addition.
When the slide stops, a row of words will appear under the slide button: This bonus will affect the real world power value, you are sure. Zhang Fan tried other slide buttons, and the same is true. Only under the fortune slide button is: The fortune bonus of this world cannot have an impact on the real world, you are sure.
Interestingly, Zhang Fan's body shape changes as the numerical value changes in the mirror. With strength, his body shape becomes more and more burly and his muscles are bulging. With agility, he will make his waist look wide and shoulders look agile. With perception, his eyes are bright. With fortune, he will not change much, but he will look a little radiant.
Moreover, while adding a certain basic ability, the values of each influence and affected also change. For example, if you add all points to power, the agility affected is also divided into some points, while agility is the most affected. If you add agility, 16 points will be added to power and perception. Only the fortune is not affected by other basic abilities, nor will it affect other abilities. This is also reasonable. If you have high agility and faster speed, how can you not keep up with your eyes and ears? Without basic strength, how can you have high speed and good flexibility? If you have strong strength, you will naturally have a faster speed. Physical strength and spiritual power will be added passively after the three attribute bonuses, and do not occupy the bonus points.
Zhang Fan tried it one by one and lowered his head to think for a while. It seems that the test that the world needs to accept is indeed extraordinary, and there will be gains and gains when there are any mistakes. Therefore, there will be such a generous bonus.
If you exclude fortune and add other basic abilities on average, the qualities will reach 3 times that of ordinary people. In this way, their comprehensive qualities will be improved by 3 to 5 times! So what will be the dangers you encounter in the future? What will be the dangers you need to overcome by more than 3 to 5 times the strength of ordinary people?!z thought about it, and couldn't help but feel creepy.
Zhang Fan was right. Even if he had a bonus, he would have to die for the future experience even if he had a bonus, he would have to die for a lifetime! However, what he didn't expect was that such bonus would only meet the physical requirements of an ordinary soldier who was often trained. It would be fine for a soldier who was strictly trained to face three or five people. However, Zhang Fan, a weak urban young man, could not imagine. He had all added agility and was just a gymnast, not the top type. He added all strength, which was even worse than the weightlifters of the national team, because the difference was the use of strength.
It was such an incredible dream! Zhang Fan sighed and reached out and gently pulled a slider, slowly but firmly tugging to his head.
"Who knows that Zhuang Zhou dreams of butterflies, Hu Wei dreams of Zhuang Zhou!"
