Hold on, the system and I have never been angry
Chapter 182 Falling into coma
Although the Wanqiu Secret Realm had been searched by Wuxiang a long time ago, there seemed to be some secrets here. Alien objects would pop up from time to time and fall from the top of people's heads.
Therefore, even though Lu Jinchao was obsessed with cultivation and Sui Guanxian Shenlong was nowhere to be seen, Qiansui did not feel bored. He kept looking around with the grass spirit and sea beast eggs. When he saw something falling from the sky, he would immediately fly over and identify it with a click. In half a month, he actually brought back a lot of things.
Lu Jinzhao looked at the group of half-dead creatures outside the tent, as well as the objects that emitted strange smells but had unknown origins, and couldn't help but feel a headache: "You want to open a zoo?"
Qiansui looked at Lu Jinchao, who looked like a ten-year-old child, and said seriously, "No, didn't you say you wanted to resell the local specialties? I've appraised them and they are all very rare, so I dragged them back. You can consign them to an auction house, or set up a stall at the market. These are zero-cost items, so you can make a profit. If you don't want them, I can keep the proceeds from the sale as my personal money."
"Okay." Lu Jinzhao waved his hand, "But you have to be careful, beware of them suddenly attacking and hurting people."
"Don't worry," Chitose wagged his tail nonchalantly, "You know my only weakness is not in me."
There was a sudden commotion among the wounded beside the tent, and several whimpering sounds were heard. Lu Jinzhao looked in the direction of the sound and found that it was a raptor monster trying to swallow their sea beast egg whole. Its mouth was stretched by the sudden enlargement of the egg, and it could neither swallow nor spit it out. The raptor also grew larger and insisted on swallowing the sea beast egg. However, the sea beast egg was not willing to give in, and it changed its shape too. The raptor was so suffocated that it ran around in panic, and the other smaller injured creatures were scared to flee.
The barrier was so small that they took up three quarters of the space. But once they were outside the barrier, the future was uncertain. They were also seriously injured, so getting out would most likely mean death.
Seeing that his tent was about to be crushed, Lu Jinchao was about to go over to rescue the sea beast egg, when he saw a huge hand made of spiritual power in the void slap the mountain-like bird of prey. Not only did it knock the sea beast egg out, but it also made the bird of prey spit blood and faint.
Sui Guanxian's voice came like a ghost: "If you dare to cause trouble again, I will stew you and use you as a snack."
All the living creatures were so frightened that they huddled together, trembling like quails.
Qiansui clicked his tongue twice. "When I dragged them back, they were so fierce, baring their teeth and claws as if they wanted to eat me alive. But when they saw the beautiful fish, they were all so scared. They are really a bunch of cowards who bully the weak and fear the strong."
"Hmm?" Slender and well-proportioned beautiful fingers opened the curtain, and Sui Guanxian walked out. He grabbed the humanoid creature that looked like an old man among the wounded, lifted it up in the air, and looked at it carefully. Suddenly, he chuckled: "I was wondering why I smelled a faint medicinal fragrance. It turned out to be an old ginseng that can restrain breath..."
The old man was hung upside down in the air. He pointed at Sui Guanxian with his cane and cursed: "You little girl, you are so rude! Put me down now!"
Hearing this, Lu Jinzhao stood up and walked over, looking around the old man: "Very smart."
Qiansui was a little confused when he heard him say this without any reason: "What do you mean?"
"Ordinary humans naturally pity the weak, such as the elderly and children; while demon cannibals prefer young and tender children and are not interested in the elderly, so they can avoid many dangers by transforming into an elderly person. In addition, it can hide its own breath, so if you are not particularly sensitive, it will look no different from an ordinary person." Lu Jinchao stuffed Qiansui's mouth with homemade cat food: "Walking on the street, will you pay special attention to an old man passing by?"
Qiansui smacked his lips twice and shook his head seriously: "No, I only stare at handsome men and beautiful women."
"This is it."
The old man was stunned for a moment, and quickly denied it: "I don't understand what you are saying, put me down quickly, what are you going to do to a dying old man like me!"
"You are about to die. You speak with full energy and your body is extremely strong. You can't be an ordinary human to appear in this secret realm." Lu Jinchao pulled out a flying sword and gestured with it. "It doesn't matter if you don't admit it. I will cut one of your fingers. I will know whether it is ginseng liquid or human blood that flows out at a glance."
“You are so cruel!” Looking at the wounded people drooling over him, the old man gritted his teeth and closed his eyes, then he immediately transformed into his original form and jumped into Sui Guanxian’s sleeve. “Don’t kill me, I am willing to offer my ginseng whiskers in exchange for a chance to live! I can also help you cultivate spiritual plants of heavenly materials and earthly treasures!”
Before they could discuss, the sound transmission stone rang, and Rong Ying's slightly anxious voice came out from it: "Master, Senior Brother Mingxiao went down the mountain to deal with the matter of the woman with a broken arm a few days ago. He was beaten by a group of monks whose origins are unknown, and is now unconscious!"
Sui Guanxian's expression did not change, "That's great, let's carry it over and let the Danfeng disciples practice."
"?" Rong Ying paused, a little incredulous: "Ah? Let Danfeng disciples treat it? What if he dies from taking it?"
"If you eat till you die, you will be the eldest senior brother."
Rong Ying was speechless for a moment: "This... this is not good..."
Qiansui was trying to hold back his laughter so hard that he almost choked. Lu Jinzhao had to cover his mouth tightly to prevent him from laughing out loud. It couldn't help but remind him, "Hey, there's a bottle of Cao Huan Dan in Mingxiao's storage bag. Just feed it to him. It's guaranteed to cure him."
"..." Rong Ying was silent for a moment, "Senior brother's storage ring and Qiankun bag were taken away."
"This is interesting," Sui Guanxian finally became interested and counted with his fingers, "Ming Xiaoguan is the most diligent disciple of our sect. His cultivation has reached the middle stage of spiritual wisdom and he can fight against a fifth-level cultivator. Who could have taken his Qiankun bag away?"
After saying that, Sui Guanxian picked up Lu Jinchao's belt, opened the space rift, and left Wanqiu.
Lu Jinzhao: "Don't you want me to stay for a full month?"
Sui Guanxian patted his head and said, "You look about thirteen or fourteen years old now, that's enough. Do you really want to be struck by lightning?"
Qiansui floated aside: "What about those guys I picked up?"
"Why are you in such a hurry? This secret realm will belong to the sect from now on. Are you worried that you won't have time to take it?"
"That's fine."
Return to the sect in the blink of an eye.
The outer disciples who had seen them immediately turned from cloudy to bright, "The master is back! Go tell Brother Rong Ying that Brother Ming Xiao has been saved!"
The group arrived at the residence of the direct disciple, Mingxiao's house.
Sui Guanxian took the lead in entering this slightly depressing space with light steps. In the simple little house, Ming Xiao lay on the couch with a pale face, his face as pale as paper, his bloodless lips slightly chapped. The young man who was once full of vigor and vitality now lay quietly, as if all his vitality had been taken away.
Inside the residence, two old servants of the Ming family were guarding the bed. Upon seeing the sect master and the disciples coming in, they quickly stood up and saluted.
Rong Ying, who received the news, came hurriedly, pursed his lips tightly, with a solemn expression, and his eyes were filled with anxiety that could not be concealed: "Master, you are back."
Raising his hand to stop him from saluting, Sui Guanxian sat down on a chair beside him and said, "Tell me, why did he run down the mountain?"
"Master, do you still remember the Haicun people who brought someone to the sect to cause trouble a while ago? You broke the village woman's arm at that time." Rong Ying took out a letter of commission from Chenshi Pavilion from his arms and handed it to Sui Guanxian. "The sect received this commission three days ago. They want to ask for a pill that can heal broken bones."
"Originally, the bone-repairing pill that mortals could use was not a rare treasure. The disciples did not know the reason, so a disciple from Danfeng took it. But who knew that the disciple would never come back, and there has been no news since then."
"The next day, his classmate reported to the senior brother who was in charge of the sect's affairs. He insisted on going there to find the Danfeng disciple. I don't know what happened, but when the senior brother showed up again, he was seriously injured. Before I could ask him any questions, he fell into a coma and never woke up again."
Rong Ying said this with a hint of self-blame and regret in his tone: "If I had advised Senior Brother more at that time, perhaps this would not have happened."
Sui Guanxian listened to it, his expression remained calm: "It's not your fault. Mingxiao is stubborn and likes to get to the bottom of things. No one can stop him from making up his mind. Since he dared to go down the mountain, he must have the ability to deal with it. Now that he is seriously injured and unconscious, it's not all a bad thing."
The old servant of the Ming family stood aside and frowned when he heard Sui Guanxian's words: "Master, the young master is now unconscious and his injuries are unknown. Why did you say 'not all bad things'?"
Sui Guanxian glanced at him and said calmly, "Mingxiao is gifted and cultivates very quickly, but he is too eager for success and his foundation is unstable. If he can survive this serious injury, it will allow him to calm down and sort out the spiritual power in his body to stabilize his foundation. As for the injury..." She paused and looked at Mingxiao, "It's just some physical pain."
Rong Ying felt relieved after hearing this, but looking at Ming Xiao's pale face, he was still a little worried: "Master, how is Brother Ming Xiao's injury? Is there anything we can do?"
Sui Guanxian did not answer directly, but raised her hand to pull out the old ginseng spirit from her sleeve, plucked off a tuft of his beard, opened his chin and stuffed it into Mingxiao's mouth. The ginseng beard melted in her mouth. After a moment, she withdrew her hand and said lightly: "The spiritual power in his body is disordered and his meridians are damaged, but his life is not in danger. As for his coma, it is because there is a strange power in his body."
Lu Jinzhao immediately reacted: "Did those who injured him do something, or was it because of the blue jade?"
"It's still unknown at the moment." Sui Guanxian stood up and said, "You two can come with me to Hai Village."
*
The sea breeze mixed with a salty smell blew in my face, and in the distance the waves beat against the rocks, making bursts of roars.
The village was not big, and the houses were low and dilapidated, making it look particularly desolate. At the entrance of the village, several villagers were gathered together and talking in low voices. When they saw Sui Guanxian and the other two suddenly appear, they were frightened and fled in all directions.
Qiansui was a little puzzled: "Why are you like a frightened bird, afraid of strangers?"
Lu Jinzhao took a few steps forward and stopped a fleeing villager: "Uncle, is there a middle-aged woman in your village who has recently broken her right arm?"
The villager was so frightened that he fell to the ground and pointed ahead tremblingly: "Go forward a hundred meters, turn left, and the wooden house is her home!"
"Thank you."
The villagers fled away.
The three of them walked to the wooden house, and before they pushed the door open, they heard a low sobbing sound coming from inside the house. Before Sui Guanxian could move, the wooden door opened, and they saw a middle-aged woman curled up in a corner in the dark and damp house, with a pale face, empty eyes, and a blank right arm. It was the woman with a broken arm who had come to the sect to cause trouble before.
When the woman saw Sui Guanxian, she was so frightened that she trembled all over and backed away: "You... who are you? Don't come over here!"
Sui Guanxian looked calm as he slowly walked into the house, his eyes falling on the woman: "Do you still remember me?"
Upon hearing this, the woman looked at Sui Guanxian carefully, her face suddenly changed, and she said in a trembling voice: "It's... it's you! The unreasonable leader of the mountain!"
Sui Guanxian nodded slightly: "Since you recognize me, then tell me why you came to my sect to cause trouble, and who instructed you to do so."
The woman's face was pale and her lips were trembling. She seemed to want to say something but didn't dare to open her mouth.
"Go ahead and tell me the truth. I will protect your life." Sui Guanxian said calmly.
The woman was silent for a moment, then finally gritted her teeth and whispered, "It was... a man in black robes. That day, I was washing silk by the river, and a man in black robes appeared. He waved his hand, and I lost consciousness. When I woke up again, I was being carried down the mountain. My right arm was gone, and I fainted again from the pain."
"Originally, I was planning to consider myself unlucky. After all, I am lucky to still be alive after encountering such a bunch of weirdos like you." The woman was silent for a moment. "It was old man Zhang, a cripple at the east end of our village, who told me that I could submit a request to your sect and ask for a bone-repairing pill. His right leg, which had been lame for twenty years, was restored overnight thanks to the bone-repairing pill."
"At first, I was skeptical. After all, you were the one who broke my hand. How could you possibly heal me?"
"But I am a woman who lost her father and mother, with little ability and money. I could not find help from other big sects, so I had to shamelessly use the remaining family assets to submit a letter. Who would have thought that a young man would actually come to my house to deliver medicine that day."
Rong Ying quickly asked, "Have you seen my sect's disciples? Then why is your arm still incomplete?"
"The pill was snatched away by that damned black-robed man!" The woman said with tears in her eyes, "He not only kidnapped the young man, but also looted our village, plundered property, kidnapped young women, and even took away my only daughter...!"
Rong Ying frowned: "This place is under the jurisdiction of Wuji Sect, has no one from your village gone to look for them?"
"I have looked for it, of course I haven't! Those sons of bitches from Wuji Sect impose heavy taxes every year, but they never care about our lives! Whenever the monks rebel, we ask for help, but they always dismiss us hastily!"
Lu Jinzhao interrupted her complaint: "What happened next?"
The woman paused and said, "Later, a young man came to ask about the whereabouts of the man in front. He asked and then left. I don't know what happened afterwards."
"This is the bone-repairing pill." Lu Jinzhao handed over a pill. "Do you have any of your daughter's personal belongings? Lend me some. Maybe it can help you find your daughter."
