Chapter 262: Chen Yu's Last Words

"'I fear the flowers will fall asleep late at night, so I light tall candles to illuminate their red blossoms...'

This was the scene [Medicine Lord] saw when he looked up from his common pulse chart. The master of the Sunken Jade Valley, the Demon God of Dreams, had been so brisk ever since he began pursuing the people of the Salt God.

However, after losing focus, his eyes rebounded for a while, and his state was even worse than his previous gradually insane state.

Things have only gotten better in the last few days. The spiritual fire, from an unknown source, is burning intermittently and tenaciously. Because of this, [Fu Jin] feels a little more worried.

What are you worried about?

Diluting the mist, regulating the water source, the master falling ill, the Yaksha leaving, the salt god visiting...that's pretty much it.

Speaking of this, Yaojun was not unaware of the karma that troubled the Yakshas, ​​but this kind of disease was beyond her ability, so she had to stay away from it.

Later, a child named Ah Chong came and raised several crops of insects. He had lingering hatred, karma, evil, and anger, and he could cure them. Yaojun went to see him several times and thought his idea was quite ingenious.

Her true form is a white snake, and she knows everything about wolves, insects, tigers and leopards, but she has never thought of changing the way she prepares insects.

The karmic obstacles were gone, and the Yakshas had departed. The insects were still in the Salt God's paddy fields, coexisting with the heartless creatures, and seemed to be doing well.

I always hear "A Chong" and "A Chong". What does A Chong look like? Is he tall or strong? Yao Jun has no idea.

Well, the Mountain Master doesn't know either. He'll only be satisfied if he invites Immortal Fu Jin to chat for a while and listens to the kid's latest stories.

As for the spiritual fire, its origins were unknown. They only said it was picked up from the child Ah Chong. But where did the child pick it up from? Still, no one knew. In the end, the Lord happily carried it with him, and his spirits rose.

After a long pause, he said he wanted to go to his allies to see the lanterns.

Guiliji...Now it is Liyue. After the war, the Liyue people migrated to the Tianheng Mountain area and finally recovered. I heard from the common people that the market there is bustling, and the tea from Chenyu Valley can be exchanged for more things.

It's easy to imagine that the master's real purpose is not the wine, but something else. Curious as she is, Fu Jin wants to go. The mountain master doesn't like large crowds, they are all old friends. She thinks that this time she will stay at home in Chenyu Valley with her old friend, and next time she will switch places with Fu Jin.

——

The spiritual fire picked up the perspective of the abyss, and the unique angle reflected the Dream Demon's favorite things upside down.

The only thing worth mentioning is that she finally found her own Abebe (crossed out) through the dream of a strange object.

She claimed to be Nibelungen, but the Dream Demon sneered at this rat and forced her to spy on someone who did not belong to her.

That being said, without the Nibelungen, she couldn't find the dream of the abyss, let alone see it. She could only cooperate with a pinch of her nose.

Having seen the dreams of the previous world thoroughly, she, as the only one who still possessed memories, boasted that no one in this world understood this little human better than herself... not even Heulia!!!

Unfortunately, the closer they were in the dream, even working tirelessly with Morax's defeated subordinates, couldn't offset this attraction, but once awake, the advantage was lost...

I can’t describe the feeling. It’s a sense of loss after waking up from a dream. Even the devil of dreams can’t escape it?

This is normal.

She thought.

After all, it was a dream that only happened between two people in the world. I would wake up laughing just thinking about it.

Back to the present, the venue has changed, and the offense and defense are even more different. Just go to Liyue, why bother remembering to cooperate?!

"You think Morax's confidence is not without reason. There are no characters like him around you today.

Jing Yuan might be close, but the changes he has experienced are so profound that his tolerance and reliability for everything are all weighed down on one nerve.

And he is not stone.

But Morax regarded himself as the patriarch, and you always wanted to preserve his dark history. But even the younger version of Morax could do nothing about you.

There is a saying about family.

——Family members will eat at the same table after a conflict, no matter how fierce the quarrel is.

His confidence seems to come from this.

You will always return to Liyue.

So, he thinks you need him.

The rocks rolled down into a depression with high areas around and low areas in the middle. The weights would pick at each other and the rocks would gradually come to a stop.

So, it naturally stopped at a perfect position.

…He’s trying to teach you something.

But that doesn't matter.

You yawned and returned to a very familiar place.

"A Chong seems to have fallen asleep." Ruota said softly.

Morax looked at the person who had fallen from his shoulder lightly from somewhere, his golden eyes flashed with light, and after confirming himself, he took the person away from Ruota's back.

Ruota asked, "Is this all right?"

He nodded. "Don't worry. I already knew this child would live in the future of Liyue. As for care, even if it's not as good as Master Liuyunjifeng, it's certainly better than Morax, who lives a comfortable life."

"It's just... teaching him to understand the subtle differences between love and hate in this world. If I didn't succeed before, perhaps this child doesn't have the ability to use this knowledge."

"It's not that I didn't notice that." Ruota carefully touched the small flower on his left eye and smiled, "He is very confident. Even I don't really trust myself, my love..."

"Putting it together with Ruota, it sounds really novel."

——You fell asleep.

Half asleep and half awake, the unknown ocean rolled and boiled with the ebb and flow of the tide, and a pair of white gloves belonging to the clown excited me.

Then, one of them extended a finger forward:

"Shh-"

“It’s time.”

"@#￥End%!√■＆Dream"□Ⅱ?"

"Da ﹂cheng■＆｀：□#"～蝶￥■"

“…”

ZZZzzz…!

The sleepiness ends!

"Achieved the ending: Does the abyss dream of quantum butterflies?"

Ming Chong kicked off the desk with one foot, and the lifted chair almost lost its balance. He managed to balance himself in a panic.

Ming Chong blinked after a long moment of unfocused vision. The garbled text was truly distracting, raising serious doubts about whether the simulator had completely cleared the Aha virus.

Disgusted by the rush.jpg

Ming Chong just felt like he'd just slept soundly and was in a good mood, so he happily decided to give up on thinking about it. After all, it was a new feature, so it wasn't surprising to have some bugs.

But then again, I took a nap, and I don't know if I missed anything...

I went back through the records and found that the insect swarm I was most interested in had disappeared. Could it have also been lost to the abyssal dream? If Yaksha lost his karma, wouldn't the insects starve to death? And, will there be a Teyvat version of the "Universal Locust Plague"?

A beating heart, trembling hands.

Adhering to the spirit of animal humanism, Ming Chong checked the afterword.

——

Medicine has evolved into a unique branch since the Demon War period.

At that time, Li Yue was imprisoned. Regardless of victory or defeat, he would be plagued by the cruelty of the people. The living followed the medical officer, and the dead welcomed the afterlife.

But there are exceptions.

"Exception?" Paimon repeated, exchanging glances with the Traveler.

Bai Zhu smiled slightly and was about to speak, but he coughed uncontrollably a few times.

Having missed the opportunity, [Changsheng] took over the conversation: "Of course, as travelers seeking immortals, haven't you seen the Yakshas, ​​the guardians of the immortals?"

"Of course I have!" Paimon replied hastily, "The Traveler and I know not only Yakshas but also many immortals!"

"Don't be nervous. Although the immortal Yakshas are far away from ordinary people, they haven't completely disappeared. At least in my memory, they have a close relationship with medicine."

Medical skills are a general term for both Xinglin medical skills and Chenyu Gu skills. Every Liyue doctor is a practitioner of Gu skills.

Typhoid fever and other diseases are sometimes urgent and sometimes slow. If the situation is urgent and medical skills have missed the best time, even ordinary witchcraft can be used.

Maybe it's not as good as the legendary miraculous doctor's ability to control the swarm of insects to eliminate disasters and misfortunes, but we can still strive to bring back a glimmer of hope.

For Liyue physicians, learning Gu techniques is a delaying tactic to buy time when there's no other way. There are countless illnesses in the world, and even the same symptom can have different characteristics in different people.

——Who can treat the same disease as the medical scholar?

"Eh? So, it's different?" Paimon exclaimed, then realized belatedly that he had interrupted someone. His eyes darted left and right, and he stepped back a little embarrassedly, covering his mouth. "Sorry, hey, I didn't mean to."

"Nothing." Bai Zhu shook his head and took the initiative to speak up for Paimeng. "Ordinary people who don't understand medical principles will indeed have such confusion."

Therefore, it is said that medicine and witchcraft are inseparable.

Doctors save lives, their methods unique, yet they often witness the myriad facets of life. There are always illnesses that time cannot overcome, pains that time cannot dispel, and costs that reality cannot bear...

Gu magic never cures illnesses or saves lives; it's more about healing the human heart. The founder of this lineage wasn't a healer to begin with, and their methods seemed devious in every way. Outsiders, upon witnessing them, feared an insect plague, where they'd be devoured by the dazzling coleoptera.

However, this lineage is just like its founder, aloof and independent, yet also eye-catching. After it suddenly appeared, even if it did nothing, it could still attract countless people to follow.

Therefore, compared to the lament of helplessness, the doctors of Liyue are more calm and will not fall into self-doubt just because of the word "late".

But even the most inexperienced apprentice would not neglect the art of Gu. The first thing one encounters when learning medicine is Gu. No matter how helpless the illness, as long as Gu is used, no matter how far away the master is, he will not leave a human life unharmed.

"Although this sounds good..." Paimon's expression gradually became lost, "but what if we can't save him? Uh... I mean-"

Changsheng murmured, "I know what you mean. You mean, if you have a terminal illness, delaying it will only add a little more time. A long-term illness will only add to the pain."

This is a concern that all doctors in Liyue will sooner or later develop.

But can we solve the problem by knowing the root cause?

Some people think too much and many give up on becoming a doctor, but more people grit their teeth and persevere.

Not only did the layman, Doctor Miaoshou, cure the disease, but he also showed humanistic care to others. Any doctor who initially embarked on the medical path, had a high opinion of himself, and believed that he was extremely talented, would not be able to tolerate this.

With such good conditions, can't we solve some common diseases besides those caused by immortals and yakshas?

Young doctors always have such thoughts. Later, when they are used to seeing life and death, whenever they feel like giving up on themselves, they will go to the place where the first poisonous insect was born, [Lingmeng Mountain].

It begins with Gu and ends with Gu.

Admit that "time is the cure for all incurable diseases" and end this tacit bet.

However, however——

This is far from the end.
