Gu Zhilin's progress was rapid. In the morning, he would be nauseous and dizzy after leaving the training cabin, but by the afternoon, he could walk on the training cabin as if it were flat ground.
Zeng Yan sometimes wondered whether she was training him or he was training her to be more accepting of him.
However, Gu Zhilin didn't care much about his own progress.
Instead, they were very worried about Lu Jin'an's situation, because he had already set off.
Gu Zhilin could no longer send him messages, so he didn't know anything about Lu Jin'an for the next few days.
Even Zeng Yan couldn't get any information.
"If you're really worried, why don't you ask General Zhu? I heard he really admires you," Zeng Yan suggested, seeing Gu Zhilin's extreme seriousness during training and his constant worry afterward.
Gu Zhilin's eyes lit up at first, then dimmed again: "This doesn't follow the rules, does it?"
Zeng Yan nodded: "It is indeed against the rules, but you are Lu Jin'an's partner!"
"Not yet." Gu Zhilin lowered his head. "I'd better not ask, so as not to cause him any trouble."
Training was over, and Gu Zhilin returned to his dormitory by himself.
The diviner was pleased to see his master return: "Master, you're back. Would you like to take a bath and rest?"
Gu Zhilin sat listlessly on the sofa: "Let's wait a bit, is there still no sound from next door?"
"No, Master. General Lu hasn't returned to his quarters for five days."
Gu Zhilin sighed: "That's true, he should let me know if he comes back."
The divination tool looked at its master with concern: "Master, your fasting period is over. Do you need some nutrient solution? General Lu left you some nutrient solution before."
Gu Zhilin wasn't actually hungry, but thinking about what Lu Jin'an had left for him, he nodded and asked the fortune teller to bring him a bag.
After drinking the nutritional supplement, Gu Zhilin felt that his body had more energy.
At the same time, he realized that as a Taoist priest, he had never consecrated a talisman for Lu Jin'an.
This is really wrong.
The other person is my partner!
If he carries the amulet I gave him when he goes out this time, I'll feel a little more at ease.
Without much thought, he found the metal plate he had previously used for divination using the I Ching.
At that time, I had no copper coins and could not find any.
So he found some metal pieces and carved three round pieces in the shape of coins to make tools for divination using the I Ching.
He took one of the pieces out and found tools to refine it further.
One side of the character was blank, while the other side was inscribed with the character for "blessing" (福). I now think that character is quite nice.
It was already dark when the metal sheet was repaired.
He then took out some agarwood and scraped off some powder. He then lit the agarwood.
Then they went to the balcony. Lu Jin'an was very meticulous in her work.
Until I started meditating regularly.
So a small platform was prepared on the balcony, which was just the right size for him to sit on.
Gu Zhilin placed the agarwood on the shelf next to him, held the metal plate in his hands, and sat cross-legged.
He was muttering something that sounded like either scripture or incantation.
However, his expression grew increasingly grim. If there were a second human in the room at this moment, they would have noticed that the temperature on the balcony had dropped drastically.
oh!
Although divination is not human, he discovered it.
So he came out carrying a blanket, intending to cover Gu Zhilin with it.
But he didn't understand why he couldn't seem to get to his master's side.
As I approached, it felt as if a wall was blocking my way.
As an artificial intelligence, it subconsciously analyzed what this invisible wall actually was.
However, the analysis revealed that the wall was cosmic energy.
But... how can cosmic energy, which is invisible, form an impassable wall?
Even today's all-knowing artificial intelligence cannot explain this phenomenon.
However, although the owner's condition was not good, there seemed to be no danger.
So she returned indoors and waited quietly for Gu Zhilin.
Everyone thinks that consecrating a statue only requires a Taoist priest to chant scriptures and pray for blessings, but in reality, consecration is not that simple.
The consecrated artifacts require highly accomplished Taoist priests to use their own cultivation to consecrate them, and not just any artifact will suffice.
In fact, it is very difficult to find suitable consecration tools in the modern world. This is a metal plate that Gu Zhilin used himself as a divination tool and which has some of his own aura before it can be used for consecration.
Gu Zhilin draws upon the essence of the sun and moon, which is the energy of the universe.
He channeled some of his cultivation into this metal plate.
The consecration ceremony did not end until late at night.
Although Gu Zhilin was cold all over, he was covered in sweat.
The diviner quickly poured a cup of hot water and handed it over: "Master."
Seeing the fortune teller's thoughtfulness, Gu Zhilin smiled slightly: "Thank you, don't worry, I'll be fine after a rest."
"But Master, divination has detected a significant decrease in your body's energy. Do you need to replenish it?"
In divination, replenishing energy refers to eating.
However, it was clear that Gu Zhilin did not need to eat at this moment.
So he shook his head: "I just need to rest for a bit, you can go into hibernation first."
After receiving the command, the diviner returned to his position and entered a dormant state.
Gu Zhilin went to the bathroom to take a shower and change his clothes before coming out.
He sat cross-legged on his bed again and quickly entered a meditative state.
What he needs now is to meditate and absorb cosmic energy to replenish himself.
The next day, Gu Zhilin woke up from his meditation and found that his AI had received many communications.
He frowned and opened his contacts, only to find that they were all from Zeng Yan.
"Gu Zhilin, General Lu has returned, and he is injured."
"Aren't you awake yet?"
"He was at the Second Department of the Military Hospital. There was indeed an accident during their mission, and many people were injured."
"Come over as soon as you wake up. I've already applied for visitation rights for you."
Upon seeing this, Gu Zhilin hurriedly got out of bed and tried to run out the door in a panic.
Fortunately, the dormant diviner woke up in time: "Master, you are now in the military region and need to change into your military uniform."
Although Gu Zhilin was very anxious, he quickly washed up, changed into his military uniform, and rushed out of the dormitory.
He didn't know where the Second Military Hospital was, so he could only call Zeng Yan.
"You're finally awake," Zeng Yan said as soon as she connected the call.
"I'm sorry, I was meditating and didn't notice the AI's message."
"Come here quickly."
"How is Lu Jin'an? And where is the second branch of the hospital?"
“He is still unconscious. I will give you a location. Just follow the location and come here. When you get there, just give your name and you can come up.”
After thanking Zeng Yan, Gu Zhilin received her location.
It was a bit far, but Gu Zhilin was a fast runner and covered the distance in about twenty minutes.
The hospital was clearly under protection, with several soldiers guarding the ground floor.
