Traditional Chinese medicine says that a person's health depends on their fundamental essence, which is the essence, blood, and qi.
I felt my body getting colder and colder, and my whole body was drenched in cold sweat. The shadow of death loomed over me.
Curled up in their seats, their bodies trembling uncontrollably, they covered themselves with several layers of clothing, but it didn't help much at all.
"Cough cough," he started coughing, his mouth full of blood.
"Will they be alright?" Danmu Yaju asked anxiously from the side.
“If they don’t get to the hospital soon, they’ll both die,” the nurse said.
To get him to the hospital, the road must first be open, but that's impossible right now.
However, at this critical moment, things finally took a turn for the better. With a loud rumble in the sky, a helicopter landed.
Two doctors and rescue team members came down from inside and carried Xiang Fei and me up. Danmu Yaju was also called up, and then, under the stunned gazes of the tourists in the car, we were lifted into the air.
"These two people are not simple!" This was the thought of all of them.
Little did we know that after this incident, a 'mysterious topic' surrounding us would spread among the people, given how advanced the internet is in today's society.
But at that moment, we couldn't care less about anything else. We were on the verge of life and death. This was the first time I had ever felt so close to death. If it had been half an hour later, we would have been dead.
The helicopter took us to the county hospital, where we were immediately admitted to the intensive care unit. It took a lot of effort to save our lives, but we were still very weak and will need to stay in the hospital for at least a month to recover.
To our surprise, no one knew who sent the helicopter to rescue us, and they even paid for our hospital fees and provided us with a dedicated nurse. We were all quite flattered.
"What do you think?" I asked Xiang Fei.
"It's hard to say, but you have to understand one thing: as the saying goes, 'He who eats another's food is bound to do his bidding.' Those who secretly help us must need our help in some way."
I nodded noncommittally. The waters are getting increasingly murky now. The real players are starting to show up, but of course, there will also be more opportunists trying to take advantage of the situation.
With something this serious happening, my family must know. They were so worried that my mom cried. Luckily, relatives helped comfort and take care of her, otherwise we would have been in trouble.
A wave of guilt washed over me. I felt unfilial, having caused my mother so much worry at my age. My father died young, and she raised me all by herself, which was already difficult enough. I remember when I was little, she always saved the best food for me, filling a large porcelain bowl to the brim, saying that no matter how hard life was, she couldn't let me suffer.
With a soft sigh, I said to Xiang Fei, "If I had a choice, I definitely wouldn't have chosen this path. I'd rather settle down, have a peaceful and quiet life, and let my mother enjoy her retirement."
"Alas, fate is beyond our control; sometimes we have no choice at all. If I really had a choice, I wouldn't continue like this. Now that I'm old, I still hope to have a home."
Old Blind Man and Black Cat have come, as have Uncle Liu and his group from Hunan.
After closing the door, the old blind man immediately confronted him, asking, "So, you two have been secretly doing this behind our backs. You're clearly treating us like outsiders."
"It's not what you think. We have our reasons this time," Xiang Fei replied weakly.
"Stop trying to fool us. You two definitely don't believe us and won't team up with us."
"Say what you will, we never expected this to be so serious, we almost lost our lives here."
"Alright, alright, stop arguing," Uncle Liu from Hunan stepped in to smooth things over. "There's no point in talking about this now. Just tell us what you encountered that almost killed both of you when you worked together."
I nodded and told them the general outline of the incident, emphasizing the battle of magic at the end.
After listening to my explanation, they all fell silent for a while.
"Didn't you see its true face?" Uncle Liu from Hunan looked at me, then at Xiang Fei.
I shook my head. "No, if Xiang Fei hadn't destroyed his own body in the end, we would definitely be finished."
"Xiang Fei, what about you?"
“I don’t have it either, it’s very powerful,” Xiang Fei said.
How powerful is it?
"It is the most powerful character I have ever encountered in my life. It has been cultivating for at least a thousand years. I cannot see its true face, and I don't even know what it is. I'm afraid even a Yin-Yang Master wouldn't be very confident in suppressing it."
"Is it that serious?"
Xiang Fei and I nodded in unison. "Fortunately, we managed to damage it this time, otherwise this thing would definitely have caused chaos in the area."
"Could it be that legendary thing?" Uncle Liu from Hunan said with a serious expression.
The old blind man seemed to have also thought of the mystery, and his expression changed drastically. "How could that be? That's just a legend."
Seeing their surprised expressions, I quickly asked, "What are you talking about?"
"Heavenly Ghost," Uncle Liu from Hunan replied, enunciating each word clearly.
"Wow!" Xiang Fei and I gaped in disbelief.
The so-called 'Heavenly Ghost' has always been a taboo secret of our Taoist school. Only we ancient Taoists know about it. It appeared in ancient Taoist classics, but it was all just legend.
The description of the Heavenly Ghosts is only a few simple sentences, yet it is regarded as a taboo secret by Taoists.
"The sun, moon, mountains, and rivers shift, corpses and wandering souls litter the land, heaven and earth shift, yin and yang are in chaos. Born in the land of Taiyin, it gathers all the evil energy in the world, transcends the six realms, and emerges amidst the great chaos of heaven and earth."
