15. Who stole my sword seed?
mew?
Chen Ji fell into deep thought. It turned out that no one could hear what the dark clouds said.
It’s not that Wuyun can speak human language, but that he can understand cat language!
He changed the subject and asked, "Brother Liu, why are you still awake in the middle of the night?"
Liu Quxing looked at the open book "General Principles of Medical Skills" on the counter and said helplessly, "You're studying so hard, it's hard for me to sleep..."
Chen Ji silently closed the Medical Outline: "..."
He was studying not to become an imperial physician, but to hide his identity, but Liu Quxing didn't think so.
At this time, Liu Quxing leaned closer and lowered his voice: "Today, my Liu family came to ask Master for a diagnosis, and casually asked if Master has any direct disciples now."
"What did Master say?"
"Master said that he will decide who will be his direct disciple in the near future," said Liu Quxing.
Chen Ji used a bamboo stick to pick up the wick, making the light brighter. "What do you mean, brother?"
Liu Quxing straightened the coat he had draped over his shoulders and considered his words. "Chen Ji, although the imperial physician has a leisurely life, he is still involved in officialdom. It's not easy to survive in officialdom. If you're not careful, you could end up with your entire family executed."
Chen Ji was puzzled: "What exactly does Senior Brother Liu want to say?"
Liu Quxing was unusually sincere. "Neither you nor She Dengke are suited to officialdom. Your knowledge, your social skills, and your connections are all destined to mean you won't have a future in officialdom. It just so happens that your family isn't willing to pay for your studies anymore, Chen Ji. I'll pay you to leave the clinic and start a small business. From now on, you won't need to rely on your family for support. How do you do that?"
Chen Ji remained noncommittal.
Liu Quxing finally said, "Chen Ji, since you came to the clinic, you've been slower than She Dengke in learning to read, and you can't even take a pulse accurately. You don't have the talent to inherit Master's legacy. Give up."
Chen Ji smiled and responded, "Brother, you've been very thoughtful for me, but can I have some time to think about it?"
"Okay," Liu Quxing nodded, "Then you should think about it carefully."
After saying that, he turned and went back to the backyard.
However, Chen Ji saw a dark shadow chasing Liu Quxing from under the counter and then swooped out.
Fortunately, he was quick-witted and grabbed Wuyun's neck and pulled him back: "What are you doing?"
The dark cloud waved its claws in anger in the air: "He looks down on you!"
Chen Ji didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You are also very rude to me."
Dark Cloud: "That's different!"
"Alright, alright, I understand him," Chen Ji sighed. "In this era, it's not easy for anyone to find a way out. If you encounter an opportunity, you must seize it..."
Before he finished speaking, Chen Ji's expression suddenly changed. At one o'clock in the morning, the ice flow arrived as expected, like ice flowing in his blood.
This time, the ice flow came more violently than before. It seemed as if it had a grudge with the lava flow for tens of thousands of years and was inherently incompatible.
The ice flow seeped into his body bit by bit, as if an ice tree had grown in his body, constantly branching out and spreading leaves. Even when Chen Ji exhaled, there was white frost.
In just a short breath of time, the ice flow didn't even give him a chance to stand up and hold the stone stake, and it gradually froze like a sculpture.
what to do?
Chen Ji turned his head slowly and stiffly to look at the medicine cabinet. He wanted to struggle to get the ginseng, but found that his legs had lost sensation and were frozen in place!
Wu Yun stared at the frosty air exhaled by Chen Ji and froze in his place: "What... happened to you?"
Chen Ji wanted to ask Wu Yun to help him find ginseng, but he found that his lips were already stuck together. He could only watch himself slowly lose his life...
No, there is still a chance!
At this time, Wu Yun was so anxious seeing Chen Ji's miserable condition that he lost his composure and started circling around him.
It wanted to save Chen Ji, but it had no idea how to do it: "Just tell me, what should I do?"
The next moment, Wuyun noticed that Chen Ji was staring at a certain direction... It followed Chen Ji's gaze and found that it was the medicine cabinet of the clinic.
Wuyun jumped to the medicine cabinet and opened the drawers one by one with his claws. He didn't know what was in the drawers, but since Chen Ji was staring at it, there must be a reason!
The medicine cabinet was so crowded that it didn't know which one to pick up, so it quickly opened all the drawers and took out the herbs one by one to test!
Angelica, that’s not right.
Tangerine peel, that’s not right.
Cistanche deserticola is also wrong.
The dark cloud failed again and again and was so anxious that it was going crazy.
When it turned around again, it found that Chen Ji's eyes had lost their luster.
…
…
Chen Ji seemed to have returned to that long dark night.
The sound of wind, rain, and oars paddling on the water. Someone was using a small boat to carry him across the black sea of clouds.
In this dark night, he heard a sound. It was the sound of shouting and killing that he often heard in his dreams when he was young!
The sound was like the rumbling sound on an ancient battlefield, the sea was upside down, the mountains collapsed, and even the sky was broken into dozens of cracks.
In the boundless nothingness, a huge voice rang out like a bell, questioning:
"Who stole my divine way?"
"Who stole my sword seed?"
"Who stole my green mountain?"
Chen Ji did not answer, nor did he know how to answer.
Who was the other party? What did Shinto, sword type, and Aoyama mean? He had no idea.
After a long silence, the majestic voice finally spoke again: "Well, I can use your body to return to the world!"
Chen Ji had a premonition that when he was completely frozen, that would be the time for the other party to be resurrected through his body!
Could it be that Li Qingniao sent himself to this world just to help this unknown existence wake up?
Is he going to die? But he just got a cat.
Chen Ji was lost in thought and was already on his deathbed.
However, at this moment, Wuyun came running back with a ginseng with no roots in his mouth and put the ginseng close to Chen Ji's mouth!
The moment the old ginseng touched Chen Ji, it immediately sucked away most of the ice flow like a whale, turning it into six crystal clear beads that fell on the counter and rolled to the edge of the counter.
There is help!
Before he was completely frozen, Chen Ji used his last bit of strength to move his eyes, hoping that the dark clouds could understand what he meant.
And the dark clouds really gave him a glimmer of hope in his despair.
The next moment, the dark cloud chased the beads rolling on the counter and swallowed them one by one into its mouth.
A huge molten flow was fed back from the dark cloud, penetrated into Chen Ji's eyebrows, and pressed all the remaining ice flow back into his dantian, washing over his body and pulling Chen Ji out of the darkness!
After he regained consciousness and movement, he immediately closed his eyes, lowered his legs and bent his knees, using the technique of carrying stones and holding stakes to resist the ice flow.
When he put out the stone-carrying pile, the molten flow suddenly became agitated and rose!
It's like an army that once had no commander, but now has a general. The general rides on an armored horse and holds the royal flag!
Chen Ji was puzzled as to why the stone-carrying and pole-holding technique that Old Man Yao taught him was so suitable for him.
etc!
The molten flow suppresses the ice flow back to the Dantian
Afterwards, it was attracted by the Tianshuxue on the left side of Dantian, and swallowed almost all the molten flow like a whirlpool!
In an instant, a blazing fire ignited in Tianshuxue, and the stream of ice in Dantian shrank deeper again, as if it was a little afraid of the fire.
"With the Tianshu Xue as the furnace fire, can we completely suppress this ice flow? No, one Xue level is not enough."
Among the twelve meridians, there are four 'Dantian portals', namely the left and right Tianshu acupoints, and the left and right Daju acupoints. Lighting up only one Tianshu acupoint is not enough to seal the ice flow.
Unfortunately, after igniting the Tianshu acupoint on the left, there was very little left of the molten flow...
While he was thinking, Wuyun gently raised his paw and touched the tip of Chen Ji's index finger with his furry paw.
boom!
Together with the molten flow in Wuyun's body, it all rushed into Chen Ji's body and rushed straight to the Tianshuxue on the right side to ignite the second fire!
The two fires kept moistening Chen Ji's body. Surging and abundant power was flowing in his body. His fatigue was swept away and his strength increased!
He suddenly remembered what Old Man Yao had said: The sky has three treasures: the sun, the moon, and the stars; humans have three treasures: essence, energy, and spirit!
When the essence is full, one does not think about sex; when the qi is full, one does not think about food; when the spirit is full, one does not think about sleep. So this is the feeling of having full qi and spirit!
Chen Ji opened his eyes, they were bright and there seemed to be flames burning in his eyes.
It turns out that this is what cultivation is!
He smiled at the dark cloud, reached out and touched its head, and whispered, "Thank you."
"It's not that difficult actually," Wuyun said with his head held high, as if he had just done something trivial.
"Well, thank you too. Without you, I would be dead... Dark Cloud, you are the most powerful cat in the world!"
"It's okay, this is just the beginning!" Wuyun raised his head a little higher.
The oil residue lamp on the counter had been burning for a long time, and the flame gradually dimmed. Chen Ji stood in the main hall, looking at the new world in front of him with fiery eyes.
But the fire was quickly extinguished by a basin of cold water: the ginseng was gone!
Chen Ji: “It’s over!”
Wuyun was puzzled: "What's over?"
"I'm done."
Chen Ji stood up and took out the clinic's account book, looking through it: "Let me see how much that ginseng is worth... What the hell, thirty taels of silver?!"
"A bun costs two cents, and a jar of water costs another two cents. Nowadays, about nine hundred cents can be exchanged for one tael of silver, and this fifty-year-old ginseng costs thirty taels of silver. Is this ginseng made of gold?!"
Even selling the relics is not enough!
He was already burdened with the external debt of 240 coins for school fees and 320 coins for medicine fees at the Zhou residence, and now he had to bear an additional 30 taels of silver, making the already poor family even worse off!
"I'm so poor! Why am I so poor? If this ginseng can't make up for it, will Old Man Yao kill me?"
Wuyun listened to Chen Ji mumbling for a while, and then remained silent for a while.
Finally, it struggled for a long time, and then seemed to make a sad decision: "How about you take me to Tianjie to perform? I can do a backflip!"
Chen Ji stood in awe: "...It's really a great sacrifice."
As he was speaking, there was a knock on the door outside the clinic.
Boom boom boom.
Boom boom boom.
The visitor knocked twice in a leisurely manner. The dull sound seemed particularly abrupt in the middle of the night, as if it was knocking directly on the heart.
Chen Ji used his eyes to signal Wu Yun to return to Prince Jing's Mansion from the backyard, and he slowly approached and asked cautiously, "Who is it?"
The visitor chuckled and responded, "Cloud Sheep."
This time, Chen Ji had no master by his side.
