Chapter 8 Extraordinary Fame
This is obviously wrong.
Li Weiyi wanted to stop, but the sole of his right foot seemed to have turned into a volcano, spewing out hot magma-like air uncontrollably.
At the same time, a silver vein grew out of the center of the right foot, like a vine that grows after a seed germinates, guiding the airflow to spread upwards along it.
Along the calf, to the thigh, through the internal organs, past the neck...
“Wow!”
The moment Li Weiyi opened his eyes, silver veins and air currents gathered there, making his pupils emit a faint silver light.
His whole world became clearer, the colors were richer, the details were more subtle.
Above the head, rust and fingerprints on the iron sheets used to build the medical tent are clearly visible, from which the order and process of construction can be deduced.
In the air, tiny particles of dust moved with the airflow created by his rapid breathing.
The wisps of mist outside the shed door are like fine, light-colored gauze, omnipresent, penetrating every pore and moving with the wind.
“What… is going on?”
Li Weiyi was in a state of confusion, his heart pounding like a drum. The world he saw now was completely different from before! His eyes seemed to be covered by a layer of blurry lenses, and he lived in a daze for nineteen years.
Now there is a feeling of breaking out of barriers and quagmire.
The silver light in the pupils dissipated.
But his eyes seemed to have been reshaped, and his vision was much better than before.
Looking at Professor Xu lying on the bed next to him, Li Weiyi could even sense his inner emotions from the subtle changes in his facial muscles, wrinkles, pores, and sweat hairs.
After spending a long time calming down, he began to think seriously.
"Could this be the extraordinary name that Master mentioned?"
"Master said that my physical body has already reached the critical point, but it is because I was born at the wrong time and era that I cannot make further progress. Now, I have fallen into the microscopic world and the environment has changed, so I have broken through the critical point in an instant?"
Li Weiyi had many guesses and ideas in his mind, but he felt that although the current situation in his body was unknown, it was definitely not a bad thing, so he began to explore it actively.
Use the Yuxu breathing method again.
As the scorching air flowed out from the sole of his right foot, he consciously guided the air to flow towards his left arm which was severely injured by the bear-like creature.
“Wow!”
A second silver vein grew out, carrying a hot air current along another route, extending to his left arm and to the palm of his hand.
When the hot air flowed through the wound, the originally burning pain was immediately relieved. Then, it became sore and itchy, like the feeling of flesh growing when the wound heals.
The injury is improving.
"The silver veins should be channels opened up before the airflow. They are as thin as a hair and have a tortuous route, guiding the airflow to certain parts of the body. Wherever the airflow passes, it will nourish and transform the flesh, bones, internal organs... and the eyes. The whole body is undergoing transformation."
"Perhaps it won't be long before the injury on my left arm is healed by the nourishment of this hot air current. Moreover, it should also undergo incredible and extraordinary changes like my eyes."
Li Weiyi was ecstatic, as if he had opened a mysterious door that connected the heavens to the earth. He then completely immersed himself in the exploration of the extraordinary realm.
…
"Haha, the only one, the only one..."
Zhao Meng walked quickly and rushed into the medical tent in high spirits, his body covered with dust and dirt.
After finishing his work, he rushed over immediately after hearing the news that Li Weiyi had woken up.
Li Weiyi temporarily stopped exploring the extraordinary realm, propped up his body, and sat with his back against the bed frame. He was no longer as weak as before, and looked much more energetic.
Zhao Meng looked at him over and over for a long while, and was even more delighted: "Haha, it's amazing, it's really amazing, you are in such a good condition, your face is rosy, your eyes are bright, it seems that there is no problem at all! Doctor Qi's medical skills are really admirable."
"Doctor Qi's medical skills are indeed amazing, but Dr. Cai's fish soup is even more effective." A light voice was heard from the bed at the deepest part of the medical shed.
It was the short man who liked to tell mythological stories. He had wooden boards tied around his neck and right arm, and his eyes were numb as he stared at the ceiling.
His name is Gao Huan, and he is one of Professor Xu's students.
But he was neither happy nor cheerful at the moment.
Cai Yutong feeding Li Weiyi fish soup was certainly enviable, but it was made worse by the fact that his two classmates had forgotten about him when they came to deliver fish soup to Professor Xu.
Outside the medical tent, there was a lot of hurried footsteps.
Zhao Meng's expression changed slightly, and he quickly leaned over to Li Weiyi's ear and whispered, "Something happened after you fell unconscious. I hid the Daozu Taiji fish, and the relic was also on it. But later, if they ask about it, you must pretend that you know nothing."
Captain Gao Xin, Director Yang, Xie Tianshu, Xie Jin... In a moment, more than a dozen people squeezed into the medical tent and surrounded Li Weiyi's bed.
"I just woke up, and my body is still very weak. I need to take good care of my injuries. Lie down quickly!"
Zhao Meng turned his back to everyone, supported Li Weiyi's neck and back, and laid him flat on the hospital bed.
Xie Tianshu couldn't wait and asked, "Xiao Li, now that you're awake, we have an important matter to ask you."
Zhao Meng turned around and said unhappily, "Didn't I already say that the Buddha's relics fell into the sea after being attacked by the bear-like creatures and the Nine Infants? I don't know what happened afterwards, and my junior brother doesn't know either."
Zhao Meng was not good at disguising himself or lying, and his words were too absolute, which aroused suspicion.
Xie Tianshu smiled and said, "But, at that time, someone saw through the cabin window that the blue clouds and red lights that caused us to fall from the bronze ship were released from Xiao Li's body. The treasure that can produce such a miraculous phenomenon can only be the Buddha's relics."
Zhao Meng said, "I was so close that I didn't notice it. At that time, you were thrown into the Arctic Ocean by Jiuying. The situation was so critical. Could anyone really see it clearly?"
"The first mate knows the truth." Xie Tianshu responded calmly.
Many people present were skeptical about Zhao Meng's words.
Director Yang was very concerned about the Buddha's relics and said, "Mr. Zhao, don't get excited! Our situation was critical at the time, and so were yours. You can't guarantee that you haven't overlooked some important details, right? The Buddha's relics are related to whether we can return to the macroscopic earth, so it's better to ask clearly."
Li Weiyi had understood what he had heard, so he naturally followed his senior brother's line of thought. So, he spoke weakly, "Regarding the Buddha's relics, I have just asked Professor Xu. It is too incredible. Have we really fallen into the microscopic world? What is the origin of the bronze ship? Where is this ship sailing to?"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
No one present could answer these questions.
Because they couldn't be sure of many things.
"Can we go back after finding the Buddha's relics? But what is the connection between the Buddha's relics and the bronze ships? Will they be under our control?" Li Weiyi asked again.
Xie Tianshu said, "At least the Buddha's relics won't disappear for no reason. If they are in your possession, Xiao Li, you should take them out so that everyone can study and analyze them. Even if you can't return to Earth, at least you can have an extra layer of protection in this strange world."
Li Weiyi understood that returning to Earth was just an excuse. They had no confidence at all. The real purpose was to seize the Buddha's relic and increase their capital in this strange world.
If the Buddha's relics did not return to the Taoist Tai Chi Fish, Li Weiyi would not mind returning them to their original owner.
He would not bother to occupy anything that was not his.
However, if the Buddha's relic is one of the eyes of the Taoist Taiji fish, then it is now considered to be truly returned to its original owner. How could he hand over the token of the master of the Chan Sect to someone else? Zhao Meng was enraged: "My junior brother has been in a coma for three days. If the Buddha's relic was really on him, you would have taken it away long ago."
"There's nothing on my body, but inside my body... who can tell for sure?"
The reason why Xie Tianshu could say this was naturally because he had long ago entertained the idea of swallowing the Buddha's relics directly.
Only when a treasure enters your body can you truly possess it.
Zhao Meng said: "Are you planning to cut open someone's stomach?"
“I just stated a possibility.”
…
…………
"Stop arguing! After all, the Buddha's relics are the treasures that carry the bronze ship. It is very likely that they are still in the macroscopic world." As the captain, Gao Xin, although old, is quite majestic. He stopped Zhao Meng and Xie Tianshu who were about to fight.
After everyone quieted down.
However, Li Weiyi was the first to speak: "Brother, the real purpose of others is not to get the Buddha's relics at all. Instead, they want to use the Buddha's relics as an excuse to lead everyone on the ship to target us and isolate us."
"The freezer is damaged. Most of the food on board will soon rot. After ten days, whoever has control over the distribution of the remaining food will have a greater chance of survival."
"The captain and the other leaders are all old. The only one who can threaten him is you, so naturally he needs to find a reason to get rid of you."
Gao Xin and Li Weiyi's remarks made everyone present fall into deep thought.
Obviously, the practical problem of "food" is far more important and more urgent than such illusory treasures as Buddha's relics.
Everyone left the medical tent one after another. When they left, some of them were polite, some were insincere, and they urged Li Weiyi to take good care of himself.
Xie Jin caught up with Xie Tianshu and whispered, "Brother Shu, did you see any clues?"
"This junior brother Zhao Meng is much more difficult to deal with than Zhao Meng himself. He seems innocent and kind, but in fact he ruined our plans unintentionally. Fortunately, he was severely injured by the bear-like creature!" Xie Tianshu said.
Xie Jin's eyes were cold and stern: "After that kid's reminder, Zhao Meng will definitely be alert. Should we take action in advance?"
Xie Tianshu shook his head: "There are three guns on the ship! The rifle has three bullets left, which are in Zhao Meng's hands. The shotgun is in the hands of those people in the 705 laboratory, and there should be bullets left. Gao Xin also has a pistol... None of the three guns are in our hands. We can't rush this matter. Once we take action, we must ensure that everything is foolproof."
Xie Jin said with disdainful smile: "Zhao Meng's biggest weakness is that kid Li Weiyi. As long as we control that kid, Zhao Meng will definitely hand over his rifle obediently. As for the old, weak and disabled people in the 705 laboratory, leave them to me."
Xie Tianshu frowned slightly and said seriously: "Don't act rashly! Let's stick to the original plan and win over Chef Kong Fan first. He is the key to our victory without bloodshed."
…
(I saw in the book reviews that some readers said that they entered the relic... Uh, no! The relic was on the Daozu Taiji fish and turned into one of the fish eyes. It was because the Daozu Taiji fish became complete that the following events happened.
As mentioned in Chapter 6, the bronze ship flew out from the relic and set sail...) (End of this chapter)
