Chapter 257 Incurable Disease

The roar of the engine has been in my ears. The noise always makes people restless and even sleep is hard to be peaceful.

Suddenly, a loud "boom" and a violent jolt immediately woke me up from my sleep...

What I saw was a dim car compartment. The central control screen in front emitted a faint light, making everything around faintly visible.

Zhang Xinya was driving. I didn't know where she was driving. The road was not easy to drive. It was a winding mountain road. The road surface was damaged in many places and it was very bumpy.

There were bursts of snoring from the co-pilot seat.

Lao Bai was next to me, his head against the car window, sleeping soundly. He was so tired, and the dirt all over his body told me that he had experienced a difficult journey not long ago.

"So... I'm not dead yet? Did I escape from that dusty underground city?"

After a moment, I finally came to my senses and touched my forehead. It was terribly hot and my mouth was dry. I immediately struggled to sit up. As a result, I found that countless places on my body were painful and itchy. The slightest pull was like tearing my flesh apart alive. I subconsciously let out a low and hoarse scream.

Crunch! !

The car suddenly braked, and under inertia, I rolled directly off the seat.

Beep! !

A strong light shone through the windshield in front, and an oncoming truck made a shrill whistle and almost hit us. Fortunately, the other party seemed to be an experienced driver and narrowly avoided it.

"Drive carefully!"

I stayed in the back and reminded him: "I'm fine. It's too dangerous to park on this road. Keep driving!"

Zhang Xinya was also really panicked. No matter what special skills we have, if we really collide with a big truck, we will probably all be reimbursed here. She dared not be distracted anymore and drove honestly.

Lao Bai was awakened and hurriedly helped me up.

A head turned from the co-pilot seat. It was Brother Yaozi. He was surprised and relieved: "You finally woke up..."

Lao Bai settled me down. He probably saw that I was thirsty, so he immediately unscrewed a bottle of water and handed it to me, saying: "Oh, you living ancestor, I don't know what to say about your luck. It comes every three or five days. How many times has this happened? Every time you are half dead, and we brothers are following you up and down. We thought that if something happened, we don't know how to explain to Mr. Zhang when we go back. We saved one and died. Mr. Zhang probably chopped us alive... But, by the way, how are you now?!"

I "gulped down" half a bottle of water in one breath, and I didn't feel so hot anymore. Then I clenched my fist, carefully felt my state, thought about it, and said: "How to say it, weak and strong..."

Weakness is because... I can feel that I am suffering from a serious illness at the moment. Many parts of my body are bandaged with bandages. Those parts are all wounds. When I was underground, I was in danger and was extremely excited. Naturally, I didn't feel anything. Now that I am out, all these wounds have erupted at once. The feeling of pain, itching and swelling is too familiar. I know very well that these wounds must be infected, and the high fever is also caused by wound infection.

Strength is because there is a strong power dormant in my body at this moment. This power is dormant in my lower abdomen and can erupt at any time.

Undoubtedly, I should have taken another step forward on the road of cultivation. Now I have probably reached the late stage of fetal breathing. One more step forward will be a qualitative leap...

After confirming my physical condition a little, I asked about what happened after I fell down.

When this was mentioned, Lao Bai's nose was crooked with anger: "That Shi Kuang is so wicked, what kind of music saint is he? How can he be a senior master? He was the one who caused this matter, but he just walked away. If it were in the outside world, this would definitely be a hit-and-run!!" Lao Bai said that after I fell down, they asked Shi Kuang to save me. As a result, Shi Kuang spread his hands and said that he didn't know what was going on, and asked us to find someone who knew about the etiquette officer to ask. After that, he bowed to the front and apologized to his brother Wei, saying that killing me was completely accidental, and asked brother Wei not to blame him. At last, he waved his sleeves and said that he had done everything he promised, and asked Lao Bai and the others to get out, and he wanted to die with Xue... This is what happened. Lao Bai and the others were almost driven away. At first, they were unwilling, and Xue got angry and wanted to summon the ancient blind lizard again. Lao Bai and the others had no choice but to withdraw in disgrace. They took the medicine to save my master, carried me out of the underground, boarded the Langya ship, crossed the mercury sea, and returned to the surface.

It was at this time that I fell ill. They took care of me while trekking through mountains and rivers, returned to Mentougou Village, took the car, and went straight to Zhenwu Temple. They had only one thought in their mind - to save my master first. My master knew more about etiquette officials than they did, and maybe he could save me.

Then... I woke up halfway.

"It seems that my situation is in line with the saying, blessing and misfortune lie in the same place, and misfortune and blessing lie in the same place."

I was still very weak, but everyone was safe and sound at this time, and I was relieved, so I smiled and said, "No matter what, I'm lucky and I've survived."

Lao Bai and the others didn't show any happiness when they heard this, but hung their heads and kept silent, as if they had lost their parents.

I asked them what happened.

Lao Bai and Brother Yaozi looked at each other. The two had always been bitter and grudged each other, but now they had to exchange opinions with each other through their eyes.

After a while, Brother Yaozi seemed to have made some important decision and nodded fiercely: "Forget it, he should know it. Jingzhe has always been tough, it's okay!"

So Lao Bai asked me not to move and lifted my clothes.

With the inadvertently bright light in the car, I saw the situation on my body and felt cold in my heart.

I saw that with my navel as the center, countless hideous blood lines were spreading. These blood lines were like protruding blood vessels, which had already shown a blue-black color and spread radially. They hung on my abdomen like a spider web, which made people tremble and felt that they would burst at any time...

Lao Bai's face changed slightly, and he whispered: "It spread a little more."

"This..."

Looking at my abdomen, I was speechless for a while.

"The second girl discovered it first..."

Brother Yaozi sighed, "We are both rough men. We can't bandage wounds or take care of people. Zhang Xinya has been taking care of you. There was no disease after you came out of the underground, but she found it half a day later when she changed the gauze for you. However, the symptoms were still very mild and subtle at that time. It was just a little bit, but since then, it has spread a little every day. We don't know what happened. We always feel that it is not a good thing. It may be related to the power that Shi Kuang introduced into your body."

This weird situation also made me a little scared. I couldn't stay calm. I shouted in my heart: "Cang Yao, Chang Yao!! Don't play dead, tell me what happened?"

The wind chime is still on my waist. As long as this thing is on me, Chang Yao will definitely hear my response, but there was no response. I urged him again.

"You're asking me to die!"

Finally, Cang Yao spoke up, very impatiently: "You ask me, who should I ask? Your wicked ancestor screwed me to death, and then he threw your living ancestor on my head. Do I owe you the Wei family? The old ones finally died, but the young ones are even more treacherous than the old ones. Tell me, when have I ever been relieved by following you? I finally grew up a little, but something happened again. I can't have a peaceful time. You still have the nerve to urge me? Let's not talk about other things. Let's just pick one thing. There is a painting of an old woman without clothes hanging on the head of the bed. I will look at it today and tomorrow. What do you mean by that? Why are you so disgusting?!"

This scolding has a beginning but no end. I don't know how I offended her. She talked about my health, but why did she inexplicably drag Zhi Niang into it? I looked at Zhiniang's painting to figure out something, after all, I owe her a huge favor!!

However, she was furious, so I didn't dare to say anything and just took the scolding.

After a long time, when she finally finished scolding, I said hesitantly: "I don't mean to say... The Earth Spirit Pearl has been in your hands for a thousand years. You have also seen the last Heavenly Official. This is his Earth Spirit Pearl. You should know more..."

"I really don't know the situation! That old man is very tight-lipped and refuses to say anything more!!"

When Cang Yao thought of the last Heavenly Official, he became even more angry and scolded me again. Only then did he calm down a little and gritted his teeth and said: "I have been thinking about your situation these two days, and I have some guesses..."

I didn't dare to speak and waited honestly.

Cang Yao said to himself: "I think it may be that the power left by your ancestors is too huge, and the Earth Spirit Pearl can't swallow it, so a lot of it overflows. What is the power of the Earth Spirit Pearl? It comes from the earth veins. It is the most yang and strong power in the world, and it is also the most domineering power. Without the Earth Spirit Pearl, people can't control it at all. These overflowing powers are entrenched in your body, constantly destroying your body every day. Your immunity will become very poor, and your blood will be worn out day by day. This is a process of chronic death. It is constantly strangling your vitality and physical vitality, making your blood and qi wither, and dying of old age in a very short time! !

It can be said that the wounds on your body were originally very small, and the possibility of infection was not great. Now they have erupted all at once. This is directly related to the destruction of the earth veins on you. Do you understand?

The situation may get worse as time goes on.

As for the method of resolving it, I don't know. The inheritance of the ritual official has been cut off for too long, and I have to find someone who understands it.

But this takes time!!!

Now I am afraid... You can't wait until that time. Under the destruction of the earth veins, these injuries on your body can't be healed at all, and will continue to worsen. The injuries that were not fatal may really take your life..."

I was chilled all over by what he said, and finally understood why Cang Yao was so scared. If I die, she will die too. How can she not be scared!!

"Let's go back to Zhenwu Temple first..."

Cang Yao sighed: "You should have a good rest and save your energy. Now the only one you can rely on is your master. He is very capable. If he wakes up, he may have some solutions!"

I closed my eyes and thought... This is simply an incurable disease!

The inheritance of the ritual officer has been cut off for so long. My father may know a little more than me, but he and my mother are missing. I can't find him at all. My master is knowledgeable, but... he may not really understand the ritual officer. He has already said that he may not be able to teach the ritual officer. If my father hadn't threatened to die, he would not have accepted me as his disciple!

I have a desire to survive, but I always feel... there is little hope!

When I opened my eyes, Brother Yaozi and the others were looking at me with concern. Obviously, they had guessed that I was communicating with Cang Yao.

I smiled and just said that it was okay and everything would be discussed after returning to Zhenwu Temple.

They didn't believe me, so I changed the subject and asked Brother Yaozi softly how he was doing now.

Brother Yaozi must understand what I mean. Even if he encountered a dangerous situation before, he never showed that state. This is enough to show that if he becomes like that, the price may be very, very high!

This makes me a little worried.

Brother Yaozi fell silent for a moment. After a long while, he smiled and said faintly, "You won't understand what I'm saying now, but...what I'll do in the future depends on you. My uncle called me here, and I came partly to save the second girl, and partly...for you, the ceremonial officer. So, learn your skills well. When you have them, I'll have hope. Do you understand? Take care of yourself!"

He looked at me deeply and said no more, but the meaning of his words was clear. He knew that I was in a very bad situation.

I knew that I couldn't get anything out of asking any more questions, so I chatted with them for a few more words. I felt tired, so I closed my eyes and rested, thinking...do I really still have hope?

It turned out that Cang Yao's guess was completely correct. Those powers were constantly eroding my body. The moment of clarity before was like a flash of light before death. It was just a moment, but not normal.

My wound infection became more and more serious, and there were signs of ulceration. The high fever became more and more severe. Finally, I was confused and in a state of half-sleep and half-wakefulness...

But I still gritted my teeth and persisted...

Finally, after a long journey, we returned to the Zhenwu Temple.

At that time, I couldn't stand anymore. It was Brother Yaozi who carried me. When I saw the familiar mountain gate, my brain, which was already unconscious, suddenly became clear for a moment. I said with difficulty like a delirium: "Save...save Master..."
