Chapter 435 The boss's world is hard to understand
After figuring out all the joints of the system, he no longer hesitated and poured all his last bit of energy into punishing Gu Yuchuan.
Even if it is about to perish, it will take its host with it.
Gu Yuchuan's complexion, which had gradually regained some redness after drinking the medicine, suddenly seemed to have lost all his vitality. His face turned pale at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his lips were completely bloodless.
The next second, without any warning, his whole body began to convulse, his hands and feet twitched, and his body slid down the bed uncontrollably, even the quilt covering him was rubbed to the ground.
"Second brother!" Gu Jiayue was so frightened that she quickly stepped forward to hold him down, and then hurriedly shouted to the system in her mind, "System, hurry up!"
"Classmate Xiao Du" instantly increased his attack speed, turning into a faint but rapid ray of light, and "whoosh" into Gu Yuchuan's mind.
"Where did you get this wild system?" The strategy system in Gu Yuchuan's mind was now at the end of its strength, and the remaining energy was barely enough to maintain its basic form.
Suddenly noticing the intrusion of an unfamiliar system, panic instantly surged in its "consciousness".
It was clearly detected not long ago, and there was no other system nearby!
If it had known that there were other creatures of its kind, it would have devoured them and replenished its energy.
It is also a system, so he knows very well that there are only two ways for the system to obtain energy: one is to accompany the host to complete the task and extract energy from the task rewards; the other is to devour other systems and plunder the opponent's energy core.
It is clear what this suddenly appearing system wants to do.
But now it has almost no strength to resist.
Xiao Du didn't want to waste time talking to it.
It had read many storybooks with Gu Jiayue and was well aware of the truth that "villains die because they talk too much."
Without saying a word, it transformed into a small figure in the consciousness space and kicked the weak energy body twice.
The strategy system was already short of energy, and was kicked into a state of "confusion" in an instant, without even having time to launch a defense.
Taking advantage of this gap, Xiao Du immediately launched a level crushing attack, releasing the pressure of the level 35 system, just like sucking water from a sponge, and effortlessly absorbed the dying strategy system completely.
"belch--"
After absorbing the last bit of energy, Xiao Du burped with satisfaction, slowly floated out of Gu Yuchuan's mind, and returned to Gu Jiayue's consciousness.
"How is it, did it succeed?" Gu Jiayue stared at Gu Yuchuan's face closely, her palms were sweating, and her voice was full of nervousness.
"Guaranteed success!" Xiao Du's voice was filled with joy. "The system doesn't have much energy to begin with. Even if I don't devour it, it will go dormant in a few days and eventually dissipate completely. But even a mosquito, no matter how small, is still meat. Swallowing it will greatly help me level up and replenish my energy!"
Gu Jiayue breathed a sigh of relief, but was still worried, so she pressed on, "Will swallowing it directly like this have any impact on Gu Yuchuan? For example, damage his brain?"
"Host, don't worry!" Xiao Du quickly assured, "I was extremely careful just now. I only targeted the energy core of the strategy system and didn't touch Gu Yuchuan's brain nerves at all. And now, I have two hosts!"
"You can bind to multiple hosts at the same time?" Gu Jiayue was a little surprised. She had never heard of this function in the system before.
"Normally, it wouldn't work, but swallowing is different!" Xiao Du explained. "I now have the processing modules of two systems fused within me. You can think of them as the 'parent company and subsidiary company' of your era—you are my main host, and Gu Yuchuan is the 'sub-host'. I can monitor both of your conditions simultaneously, but I'll primarily follow your instructions."
"Then you should quickly analyze what the strategy system is used for. What is the purpose of binding it to Gu Yuchuan?" Gu Jiayue asked hurriedly. This was what she cared about most.
"Okay, host. I'll go sort out its data right away." Xiao Du responded. It had just absorbed a large amount of unfamiliar data and indeed needed time to sort it out. It was a good opportunity to digest the "results" through analysis.
As the strategy system was devoured, Gu Yuchuan's body indeed stabilized.
The convulsions stopped, his face slowly returned from pale to normal color, and his breathing became steady and even. Although he had not yet woken up, it was obvious that the crisis had been resolved.
Gu Jiayue finally breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to wipe the sweat from her forehead.
Fortunately I made it in time.
If she didn't act in time and Gu Yuchuan was wiped out by the system, she would live with guilt for the rest of her life.
After solving the "time bomb" of Gu Yuchuan, Gu Jiayue suddenly thought of another thing: Where is Xie Qingyun?
For more than a month, he seemed to have completely disappeared and hadn't even gone to school.
Could it be that after being refuted by me last time, his faith in Taoism was damaged and he went straight back to Kyoto?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but secretly laugh in her heart.
It would be great if it were like this. I wouldn't have to be questioned by him about the "origin of the world" or "the ownership of destiny" anymore, and I wouldn't have to worry about being treated as a "demon star" by him.
Unfortunately, her wishful thinking soon fell through.
Xie Qingyun, who had disappeared for more than a month, was forcibly pulled out of the library by Lin Yi.
Lin Yi pulled his arm, his tone anxious and helpless. "Master! You've been in the library for a month. You haven't had a good sleep or a proper meal in this month. If you continue like this, your body will collapse!"
Xie Qingyun, who was being dragged, was still holding a curled book tightly in his hand. His eyes were fixed on the pages, and he looked infatuated. Even his feet were subconsciously moving towards the library.
It was not until he walked out of the library and the sunlight outside shone directly on his face, causing him to squint subconsciously, that he slowly closed the book.
The next second, he suddenly raised his head and laughed heartily towards the sun above his head: "Hahaha! I understand! I understand everything!"
"Master! I've got it!" He bowed to the air again, his tone filled with excitement, "There are three thousand great ways, and luck is just one of them! The way of nature follows nature. From a peck to a drink, all things grow and die, and in the end, everything will return to heaven and earth!"
After saying this string of words that made Lin Yi confused, Xie Qingyun suddenly shook off Lin Yi's hand and ran towards the mountains behind the school. His robes rustled in the wind and he disappeared into the woods like a gust of wind.
Lin Yi was stunned where he was, with no time to stop him, so he could only bend down to pick up the book he dropped on the ground.
There is a line of words written on the cover of the book: "After crossing into the mortal world, I became an immortal cultivator."
Lin Yi held the book, his brows furrowed tightly, full of doubts.
Is the naming method of Taoist mental methods so... abstract?
The title of this book doesn't look like a serious Taoist classic at all. Instead, it looks a bit like a storybook sold at a street stall?
Before he could figure it out, he saw Xie Qingyun running back from the woods, excitement still on his face.
Without saying a word, he took the book from Lin Yi's hand and asked anxiously, "Do you know where Miss Gu is now?"
Lin Yi pointed to the office building not far away, his tone still a bit confused: "In... in the office building, handling the school's affairs."
"Thank you!" After Xie Qingyun finished speaking, he ran towards the office building like a gust of wind. His speed was so fast that Lin Yi couldn't see his back clearly.
Lin Yi stood there, touched the back of his head, and muttered to himself: It feels like the master is becoming more and more "weird", is this a sign of becoming an immortal?
It is said that "If you want to be successful, you must go crazy first." It seems that the path of becoming a master is not something that ordinary people can take.
He shook his head, stopped thinking about it, and turned back to the clinic.
It is better for him to just be a good doctor and write medical books.
The medical book he planned to write was a combination of Da Gan's existing traditional medical skills and several modern medical books that Gu Jiayue had given him before.
Lin Yi had spent the past year thoroughly studying these medical books and had come up with some insights. Combining this with his previous experience treating heatstroke during droughts and highly contagious diseases during epidemics, he wrote all of this down and gradually formed a new set of diagnostic and treatment ideas.
Combining Chinese and Western medicine, taking the strengths of traditional medicine and modern medicine, and integrating them into one.
Lin Yi's mind is now full of thoughts about writing down these experiences as soon as possible, printing them into a book, and teaching them to the children who are willing to study medicine with him.
He never imagined that many years later he would be called the "founder of integrative medicine," nor did he imagine that the medical book he compiled would become a must-read classic for future generations of doctors.
Of course, this is all later.
Now he has neither utilitarianism nor lofty ambitions. He only wants to learn and teach medical skills well.
Since coming to Taohua Village, his arrogance has been worn away a lot.
In the past, he always thought that his medical skills were superior, so he looked down on everyone.
But it was here that he truly understood the truth that "there are always people better than you and there are always things better than you."
There are too many talented people in the world.
Gu Jiayue, who has extraordinary medical skills and proposed the concepts of "infectious disease isolation" and "basic hygiene".
Even Xiao Fuzi, an outer disciple of Yaowang Valley, is more skilled than him in identifying herbs and preparing medicinal materials.
"Tsk... my knowledge is still too shallow." Lin Yi muttered softly while flipping through the medical book.
I have to be more careful in the future.
On the other side, Xie Qingyun ran all the way to the office building, found Gu Jiayue, and bowed to her solemnly.
He bent very low, his tone filled with sincerity: "Miss Gu, I'm sorry. I apologize for my unreasonable request for you to 'sever your own will'."
Gu Jiayue was baffled by his sudden action. It took her a moment to react and she quickly reached out to help him. "Master, what's wrong with you? Why are you apologizing to me all of a sudden?"
"During this time, I read a lot of books in the library, from philosophy to nature, from history to miscellaneous notes, and learned a lot of knowledge that I had never encountered before."
Xie Qingyun stood up straight, his eyes no longer serious and paranoid, but more peaceful. "I finally have some understanding of what you said to me that day about the 'origin of the world' and 'materialism'."
He paused, looking at Gu Jiayue seriously. "You're right. The rise and fall of a world, the rise and fall of a nation, shouldn't be borne by one person. The general trend of the world is that long periods of unity will inevitably lead to division, and long periods of division will inevitably lead to unity. The fate of a dynasty is predetermined. When the time comes for it to fall, even without you, Dagan's fate will slowly run out. Even if I had killed you, the fate that was gathered in you might not have returned to Dagan. It might have dissipated between heaven and earth, and had nothing to do with Dagan anymore."
Next, Xie Qingyun talked a lot, from the limitations of idealism to the objectivity of materialism, from the practical significance of methodology to the contradictions of dualism, and even mentioned the commonalities between "Tao follows nature" and "scientific laws". He became more and more excited as he spoke, and his eyes were full of light.
Gu Jiayue stood aside and listened, feeling very nervous.
It seems like I have "fooled" a Taoist master?
How can this be called enlightenment? It is clear that one has gone from the extreme of "only believing in luck" to the other extreme of "completely accepting new ideas"!
But this is undoubtedly a great thing for her.
At least, her life was temporarily saved, and she no longer had to worry about being treated as a "demon star" by Xie Qingyun.
"What about your master..." Gu Jiayue was still a little worried. After all, Xie Qingyun had always relied on his master's calculations.
"Don't worry, I will write a letter to my master and tell him my insights, so that he can also understand that the previous calculations may be too one-sided." Xie Qingyun's tone was firm, and it was obvious that he had made up his mind.
After saying that, he seemed to remember something and turned to walk out the door. "Miss Gu, please continue with your work. I won't bother you anymore. I'm going to verify the 'natural laws' I saw in the book and use scientific methods to prove that 'Tao follows nature'!"
Gu Jiayue watched him sprint out of the office building like the wind again, and as nimble as a monkey, he slipped into the nearby deep forests. She couldn't help but ask the system in her mind, "What is he doing in the deep forests? Is he going hunting?"
"I don't know, host." The system's voice was a bit confused. "The boss's world is indeed beyond our comprehension."
Gu Jiayue shook her head helplessly.
Forget it, no matter what Xie Qingyun wants to do, as long as he doesn't cause trouble for me anymore, it will be the best outcome.
