When Gu Zhilin woke up again, it was three days later. The first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was the white roof above him.
He realized he was in a hospital.
Sure enough, whether in the 21st century or a thousand years from now, hospitals are still decorated in white.
In his dazed state, he remembered the most important thing, and he forced himself to sit up from the hospital bed.
Just then, Su Cheng walked into the ward and saw that Gu Zhilin had woken up. He immediately shouted excitedly to the smart assistant, "Notify the doctor that Gu Zhilin has woken up."
"Gu Zhilin, are you alright?" Su Cheng quickly went up to help Gu Zhilin.
Gu Zhilin was still very weak at this moment. He forced himself to grab Su Cheng's arm and asked, "How is Lu Jin'an?"
Su Cheng knew that this person was worried about Lu Jin'an's situation, but when he heard Gu Zhilin ask, he remained silent for a moment.
Gu Zhilin frowned upon seeing this: "What exactly happened?"
"Don't get agitated, Gu Zhilin." Seeing his agitated state, Su Cheng quickly pressed down on his hand, afraid that he might get hurt. "General Lu's physical functions are very weak right now, and most importantly, he hasn't shown any signs of waking up."
"How could this be?" Gu Zhilin stared wide-eyed in disbelief. "I'm certain that I sent Lu Jin'an's soul into his body back then, so how could there be no sign of him waking up?"
As he spoke, he walked towards the door: "How long have I been asleep? Quick, take me to see him."
Although Su Cheng didn't understand what Gu Zhilin meant, she understood his abilities.
So without delay, they took Gu Zhilin to Lu Jin'an's ward.
In fact, Lu Jin'an's ward was right next door.
Gu Zhilin only realized after leaving the ward that this was the same place where Lu Jin'an had been injured and recuperating last time.
Turning around, I saw the same hospital room Lu Jin'an had been in last time.
Lu Jin'an was still lying on the hospital bed inside.
The difference is that this time it really doesn't look alive at all.
What went wrong? Why is Lu Jin'an's soul still not waking up even after returning to her body?
He stretched out his left hand and began to calculate by pinching his knuckles.
Unexpectedly, the calculation revealed that Lu Jin'an was facing another calamity.
He looked at Lu Jin'an's body and gritted his teeth: "Why is there another calamity? I don't care about any calamity, I want him to live, and he must live."
As he spoke, Gu Zhilin sat down on the ground and closed his eyes.
Su Cheng didn't know what he was doing and thought that Gu Zhilin had collapsed because he couldn't bear the blow.
I was just about to help the person up.
"Don't move." A pleasant male voice stopped her.
Su Cheng looked up and saw Wen Yili walking towards him.
She recognized the boy; she had seen him during the last exercise.
He is Gu Zhilin's apprentice.
Wen Yili frowned and came to Gu Zhilin's side: "Master is about to enter a meditative state. He probably wants to use his spiritual power to find General Lu's soul."
As a modern person, Su Cheng accepted the Taoist priest Gu Zhilin's character setting, but he still didn't quite understand the concept of the soul.
But now is not the time for her to ask.
"Should we let him sit here then?"
Wen Yili also sat down on the ground next to Gu Zhilin, and said before closing his eyes, "Don't let anyone disturb us, not anyone at all."
After saying that, he closed his eyes, trying to use his mental power to search for the souls of Gu Zhilin and Lu Jin'an.
This was the method he saw in the materials Gu Zhilin gave him.
Although Gu Zhilin hadn't taught him yet, he was indeed very talented, so he succeeded on his first try.
When he opened his eyes while in his soul state, he saw Gu Zhilin's soul standing next to Lu Jin'an's physical body.
Gu Zhilin's expression was serious, as if he had encountered some problem.
"Master," Wen Yili said softly.
Gu Zhilin was stunned for a moment when he heard Wen Yili's voice. He turned around and saw Wen Yili in his soul form.
He looked at his disciple, whom he had placed aside, with some surprise: "You actually learned how to gather spiritual energy? You really are a genius."
Ignoring Gu Zhilin's praise, Wen Yili looked at Lu Jin'an's body and frowned in the same way as Gu Zhilin: "It seems like General Lu is sealed by something?"
Gu Zhilin hadn't expected this child to be so talented.
Nodding, he said, "It was my carelessness. It seems that my senior brother was behind it. He must have already prepared to cut off Lu Jin'an's escape route after discovering that Lu Jin'an was gathering spiritual energy to deal with him."
Wen Yili didn't understand what it meant.
Gu Zhilin gave a miserable smile: "The enemy is my senior brother from a thousand years ago. I was caught off guard and he injured my soul. He used my life to threaten Lu Jin'an into committing suicide."
Wen Yili had heard about these things.
It seems to be a scene recorded by the smart butler named Bu Shi in the master's dormitory.
“Lu Jin’an doesn’t have your talent and can’t achieve astral projection. Even I can only truly achieve astral projection now.”
"Lu Jin'an knew that his physical body was no match for my senior brother, and in order to save me, he chose to commit suicide and then gather his spiritual energy to enter Shang Shixu's sea of consciousness to fight against my senior brother and give me a chance to survive."
Wen Yili was truly shocked this time; he never expected Lu Jin'an to be able to do this.
You must understand, suicide to gather spirits is true death!
"I had already stabilized his soul and sent it into his body before he lost consciousness, but I didn't expect my senior brother to seal Lu Jin'an's body ahead of time."
Gu Zhilin frowned: "I must help him break this seal."
He then prepared to use his mental power to break through the seal.
Wen Yili quickly stopped him: "Master, you are still very weak and cannot use your mental power like this."
“But Lu Jin’an doesn’t have much time left. I must help him break the seal immediately.” Gu Zhilin shook his head.
“Master, let me do it, I can do it.” Wen Yili stood in front of Gu Zhilin.
Gu Zhilin was taken aback: "You? No, you don't understand anything, this is too dangerous."
“Master, you can teach me if I don’t understand. You said I’m a genius and I will definitely succeed. Please teach me, okay?” Wen Yili whispered.
He dared not provoke Gu Zhilin now, because Gu Zhilin was too vulnerable at this moment.
He could even tell at a glance that his master's soul was actually unstable at that moment.
Gu Zhilin was stunned for a moment, realizing once again that the boy in front of him had not only grown up, but could even protect him from the wind and rain.
Seeing that Wen Yili insisted, Gu Zhilin could only nod.
Then, pointing to the acupoint on the top of Lu Jin'an's head, he said, "The seal is located there. You must gather all your spiritual power to break through that seal. You can force your way through, but you cannot back down. If you back down, not only will Lu Jin'an not survive, but you will also be severely injured."
Upon hearing this, Wen Yili realized that it was fortunate that he had stopped him just now, otherwise Gu Zhilin would probably have been seriously injured in his current state.
