Zhongzhou.
Outside Beichuan City.
This small town is home to many ordinary people who believe in gods. After finishing their daily work, they would burn incense and pray in front of their homes, hoping that the gods would bless them with good weather and abundant harvests in the days to come.
After burning incense and praying, they all went home to sleep. Only a little girl who had just returned from picking medicinal herbs suddenly saw a dazzling light streak across the sky halfway up the mountain, as if tearing apart the tranquility of the night, and finally landing on a low hill next to the town.
Immediately afterwards, the earth shook violently!
The little girl was shocked and somewhat surprised. Driven by curiosity, she went to where the light was shining.
At this moment, she saw only an injured boy, whose left hand was still gripping the sword sheath and never letting go, while his right hand was twisted as if it would fall off at any moment, and there was a black hole in his abdomen.
The injuries are extremely serious!
Without even thinking, the little girl ran desperately toward the town.
...
When Su Yang opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was a dilapidated roof, patched up countless times.
The wooden bed he was lying on was very stiff and was against the wall. There were some small bamboo baskets hanging on the wall, containing many very ordinary medicinal herbs, not even considered miraculous herbs. The whole room was filled with a strong bitter smell.
Su Yang frowned. He felt as if he had returned to his childhood. His grandparents used to brew Chinese medicine when he was young, and the taste... was unforgettable.
"hiss……"
Just as he was about to get up, Su Yang felt a sharp pain in his right hand.
Only now did he notice that his right hand was trapped between two wooden planks, and even the slightest movement caused him excruciating pain. Looking back, he realized that forcing himself to swing the final sword when he killed Wu Bai had only made things worse.
However, Su Yang roughly understood that after returning to the Xuanzhen Continent, he must have been rescued by a kind person. Although the crude method could not heal his injuries, he deserved to repay the kindness shown to him.
Su Yang touched the wound on his abdomen, which still showed no signs of healing, so he simply sat up.
moment.
The pain in his abdomen and the pain from the broken right hand instantly irritated every inch of his skin.
Su Yang, sweating profusely, laughed and said, "Fortunately, I sealed my divine power when I came back, otherwise, if those people from the Divine Palace had noticed me, they probably would have already come to kill me."
Just then, slow footsteps came from outside the door.
When an old man carrying discarded herbs and an earthenware pot entered Su Yang's small room, a look of disbelief flashed in his eyes as he watched Su Yang sit up.
"Young hero, what is this...?" The old man's tone was very surprised.
After all, if an ordinary person had such injuries, they would probably be unable to get out of bed for one or two years. But Su Yang has only been here for one night, and he can already get out of bed? Just how strong must his will be to overcome the pain caused by the injuries?
Su Yang looked at the old man, whose mottled white hair and aged appearance were clearly written on his face. His clothes were also extremely simple, suggesting that he was not living a happy life.
Thinking of this, Su Yang wanted to clasp his hands in thanks, but found that he couldn't lift his right arm. He could only force a smile and say, "Thank you for saving my life, sir. I will definitely repay this kindness!"
Upon hearing this, the old man laughed and said, "I appreciate your kindness, young hero, but your injuries are still too severe for you to move around. You should rest here with me for now. As for any reward, I believe that as long as you have an upright heart, one day the gods will notice, and you will be able to rest in peace in the divine realm after death."
After saying that, the old man chuckled and placed the earthenware pot next to Su Yang, then took out a small bamboo tube and poured the medicine into it.
But upon hearing what the old man had just said, Su Yang couldn't help but frown.
In fact, God may not pay attention to so many things.
To the gods, the people of the lower realm are nothing but ants, and everything is controlled by the beings of the realm. Even if one devotes one's life to the gods, one may not receive a response from them. Moreover, the people of the lower realm have no way of knowing what kind of being the gods are.
Perhaps in their hearts, God will always be the being they believe in.
Su Yang didn't want to shatter the old man's illusions about God, so he chose to remain silent.
At this moment, the old man handed the bamboo tube to Su Yang and said, "Here, this medicine is mainly for treating the injury to your abdomen. Your injury there is quite serious. As for your right hand, you can only wait for it to heal slowly over time."
Not wanting to disappoint the old man, Su Yang took the bamboo tube and drank it all in one gulp.
His expression quickly turned grim.
Even now that he's become a god, the taste of this medicine hasn't changed at all. Could this old man also be a time traveler?
Seeing Su Yang's unpleasant expression, the old man chuckled and said, "It seems that young hero is still not used to it. As the saying goes, good medicine tastes bitter. Your injuries are very serious, and you need mild medicine. However, mild medicine is difficult to cure and can only concentrate the medicinal power, so please don't find it unpleasant."
Su Yang's lips twitched: "Old sir, you're joking."
Actually, Su Yang wanted to be polite, but he genuinely thought this medicine was incredibly awful, like drinking runny shit! The worst part was the strong aftereffects; it was several times worse than any other Chinese medicine he'd ever taken before!
It smells terrible and tastes awful!
Just then, a little girl suddenly ran in from outside, excitedly holding a crimson spirit herb, wanting to show it off. But when she saw that Su Yang had woken up, she hid behind the old man before she could even say a word.
Seeing this, the old man smiled and introduced, "This is my granddaughter. In fact, she found you on the mountain and rushed back to tell me. That's how she carried you back. So, if we're talking about your savior, it's actually my granddaughter."
