Chapter 36: Failure to Survive the Tribulation
Fu Ciyan supported her from behind to prevent her from falling on the rocks on the ground.
Tao Shenghua quickly used his crutch to clear out a flat space, and Fu Ciyan gently moved Jiang Chu to lie flat on the ground.
"Why did you suddenly faint?" Fu Ciyan looked worried. "You were fine just a second ago."
Tao Shenghua checked the patient's breathing and pulse immediately, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the patient was still breathing and having a heartbeat.
"He probably fainted from overexertion. He should be fine after a few days of rest."
"To be on the safe side, let's take her to the hospital for a checkup."
Tao Shenghua found a car and sent Jiang Chu to the hospital in the middle of the night.
Tao Wan, who was still waiting for them to come back for dinner at home, rushed to the hospital as soon as she heard the news that Jiang Chu was hospitalized.
Fu Ciyan and Tao Shenghua were guarding the bedside. Jiang Chu was lying quietly on the bed, his face a little pale.
"Where did you go?" Tao Wan's eyes were filled with heartache. "Why did Chuchu suddenly faint?"
"It was fine at the beginning." Fu Ciyan told her what had just happened.
The more Tao Wan listened, the more shocked she became. He could play with the thunder in his mortal form and even give an accurate prediction of an earthquake.
When the doctor came in with the examination report, Tao Wan woke up from her dream. She pulled the doctor anxiously and said, "Doctor, is there anything wrong with Chuchu's body?"
"Comrade, calm down first." The doctor felt dizzy.
Fu Ciyan pulled Tao Wan back and said, "Mom, calm down and listen to what the doctor says first."
The doctor adjusted his glasses and said, "Comrade Jiang is fine. He's just too tired. He'll be fine after a good night's sleep."
"Since you guys care so much about the little girl, don't make her do too much work."
The doctor originally thought that the little girl fainted due to overwork due to being excluded at home, but now it seems that her family still cares about her very much.
He then gave some more medical instructions, which the three of them wrote down one by one.
After the doctor left, Jiang Chu opened his eyes: "Where is this?"
Hearing the voice, Tao Wan took the initiative to pull Jiang Chu and asked about his well-being: "Chu Chu, are you feeling unwell?"
"I'm fine." Jiang Chu gently wiped away the tears on her face with a tissue, "I'm fine, I'm just exhausted."
Tao Wan finally smiled and said, "Chu Chu, just tell me what you want to eat. I'll ask the nanny to prepare it and bring it to you."
"I'll stew a few more old hens for you tomorrow to nourish you."
Tao Shenghua didn't expect that his spoiled daughter had such a gentle side, but considering that the person opposite her was Jiang Chu, he was not surprised.
Jiang Chu has the ability to make everyone like her.
Tao Shenghua: "You fainted because of that prophecy you made, right?"
This guess was not groundless, he recalled the scene at that time.
Jiang Chu, who repaired the seismometer, still looked normal until she uttered the prophecy, and then she collapsed.
"That's right." Jiang Chu admitted. There was no need to hide it. "Even without the seismometer, I knew there would be a big earthquake on July 6th."
"Because I come from fifty years from now."
Jiang Chu said this to Tao Shenghua. Many things she would need to do in the future would require the support of power.
Since you want to cooperate with others, you naturally have to show sincerity.
Among the eight major families, she has now come into contact with the He, Fu, and Tao families. These three families are all great and kind families with great merits.
Especially the Tao family.
Fifty years later, the one who had always supported Jiang Chu behind the scenes was also the then head of the Tao family.
That's why Jiang Chu told the Tao family everything.
The remaining five companies are still unaware of the situation.
Jiang Chu cannot be exposed too much to Country R for the time being, otherwise it will be difficult to deal with those formations later.
The other party probably now thinks that this incident was just an accidental discovery by Jiang Chu, and will not suspect that Jiang Chu has guessed their purpose.
"No wonder." Tao Shenghua suddenly realized, "No wonder I haven't heard of your name."
With Jiang Chu's strength, he would definitely be the best in the Xuanmen, and he might even be comparable to the old Taoist priest.
How could it be unknown?
"I previously speculated that it was the Heavenly Dao that sent me to this era, and what just happened just proves it all." Jiang Chu narrated, "Fifty years later, the Dragon Nation's luck weakened for no apparent reason, and the Xuanmen discovered that it was caused by the formation of the R Nation."
"But by then the formation had already taken shape. We immediately decided to break it, but we didn't expect the other side to have a Taoist priest named Daoqian, who was very powerful. Even the old Taoist priest and I couldn't defeat him together."
Jiang Chu and the old Taoist priest managed to escape from his hands with great difficulty.
Although there was also the reason that Jiang Chu was only fifteen years old at the time and his strength could not keep up.
"Even you and the old Taoist priest are no match for him?" Tao Shenghua didn't expect that there would be such a person in Country R.
It's really hard to sleep or eat with such people in the dark.
Although Fu Ciyan didn't understand many things, she could feel the danger in them. Jiang Chu seemed to have said before that she was only eighteen years old.
According to the time calculation, when she was fighting with the Taoist priest from Country R, she was actually not even older than him.
Tao Wan's tears fell again.
Thinking back to those days, Jiang Chu felt a little depressed.
"After several years of confrontation, both sides have reached a stalemate. The situation in Country R is similar to ours, but their leaders simply don't care about the lives of the people. We can't do that."
"People can no longer wait. Natural disasters cannot continue."
"Finally, I decided to ascend. Although I can't care about human affairs after ascending, as long as I use all my strength at the moment when the last thunder tribulation descends and I am bathed in the divine light and gain power, I can break the enemy's formation and kill them all."
"I finally succeeded, and when I opened my eyes again I found myself here."
This was also the reason why Jiang Chu failed to survive the tribulation, because she used all her strength to break the formation, and her body was completely unprotected, so she was struck to death by the thunder.
Tao Wan had already burst into tears, and Tao Shenghua's eyes were full of admiration for Jiang Chu.
You must know that the ultimate goal of those who practice Taoism is to ascend to heaven. Jiang Chu could obviously be included in the ranks of immortals and no longer be involved in worldly affairs.
But she chose to give up ascension and even sacrifice her own life.
The atmosphere instantly darkened, and Jiang Chu smiled: "Am I not sitting here peacefully?"
"Besides, what if I'm lying to you? Everything that happened is just my story. What if I'm a bad guy?"
"How come you believe me so easily?"
"No." Fu Ciyan looked at Jiang Chu firmly with red eyes, "I believe you."
If Jiang Chu wanted to harm them, he would have done it long ago and would not have gone to the trouble to save them.
"I believe you, too." Tao Wan hugged Jiang Chu tightly. "You're only eighteen years old, the same age as Xiao Yan and Xiao Qing, yet you're carrying so much."
"I actually gave you a hard time on my first day..."
I want to slap myself in the middle of the night.
Jiang Chu felt a little guilty: "I'm not hurt."
Instead, they both burned their mouths.
Tao Shenghua looked relieved.
Jiang Chu had almost recovered and went through the discharge procedures at around eight or nine o'clock.
Before parting with Tao Shenghua, Jiang Chu said, "I know you and the old Taoist priest are close friends. I hope you can let me meet him."
"I'm considered an outsider now. If I follow the normal procedures, I'm afraid I'll be arrested. Also, I hope you'll keep everything I've told you today confidential."
Jiang Chu wanted to explain, but he saw the three of them agreed readily.
After a whole afternoon of hard work, the three finally returned home.
