Chapter 77 Plateau

 "Okay."

Li Ang didn't talk nonsense and nodded in agreement.

"Di Wu."

Jiao Cheng stood up with his hands on the ground and a cane.

Di Wu, who was waiting outside the house, immediately walked into the house and, under the signal from Jiao Cheng's eyes, used a knife to cut the ropes on Song Shaoyuan and You Duzhi's hands.

"Follow me."

Jiao Cheng ignored Song Shaoyuan and You Douzhi who immediately held each other's hands, and walked out of the room on crutches. The two sword monks also stood up slowly and followed.

Li Ang nodded towards Song Shaoyuan, telling him not to worry and went out by himself.

The corridors of the pavilion are twists and turns, and the walls and floors exude a scent that is perennially refreshed by incense.

Li Ang followed behind, sizing up the two sword-carrying monks.

The two walked calmly and breathed regularly. The swords on their waists had a narrow and thin frame and a long and narrow hilt.

Swordsman...

Li Ang thought silently. The most authoritative institution in Yu State that teaches the way of cultivation is naturally the Academy.

Secondly, there are academies set up within the Zhenfu Division, the Imperial College, and the Ministry of War to specialize in raising war orphans and training military officers.

In addition, there are Lizheng Academy in Luoyang, Songzhou Academy in Longxi, Bailu Academy at the southern foot of Mount Lu, etc.

These places also teach methods of spiritual practice, but they are far inferior to the Academy in terms of overall scale, available resources, and quality and quantity of teaching staff.

As for folk monks, they can generally be divided into three categories.

One type is the wealthy families with five surnames and seven hopes that have lasted for hundreds or even thousands of years.

Their history is long enough, the number of clan members is large enough, and they are married to each other. When they find that a family member agrees with the cultivation conditions, they will be sent to a more advanced clan study.

Sometimes Qi Wang of the Five Surnames will also marry young monks from the outside world to absorb fresh blood.

Subject to the increasing pressure exerted by the Yu royal family, Xuegong and Zhenfusi,

The once extremely glorious family has kept a low profile for more than a hundred years, but no one knows how many Xunyun realms and even Zhuxiao realms are still in the depths of their manor and fortress.

The second category is those folk monks who have only received incomplete spiritual education - they usually have one or two monks in their ancestors. Due to various reasons, their family fortunes have declined, and they have not been able to enter the academy, so they can only rely on one or two monks.

The two remaining volumes set out on the path of spiritual practice.

Their strength naturally varies, ranging from hiding in the body to patrolling the clouds.

Not only is the progress of cultivation slow, but sometimes you have to accept employment from powerful people, businessmen, and chambers of commerce for the sake of [the Dharma Land of the Wealthy Couple].

Those monks who came from foreign countries and served the nobles of the Yu Kingdom basically fell into this category.

The third type...are people who are completely out of touch with the world.

‘Sword masters who can freely use flying swords are at least in the Listening to Rain realm.’

Li Ang said silently, ‘I don’t know what method Jiao Cheng used to win them over. Money, or secrets?’

There is no longer a true spiritual sect in Yu State.

Perhaps it was the scene of the chaotic times at the end of the Sui Dynasty, when hundreds of sects were wreaking havoc and killing the people.

It left a profound impact on the ancestors of Yu State and Emperor Taizong. The two emperors spared no effort to wipe out most of the spiritual sects at that time. Only a few survivors fled to Zhou State, Xijing and even the Shiwan Barren Mountains.

Every once in a while, news spreads among the people of the Yu people that a certain sect has discovered a cave in the mountain gate hidden in the mountains, which contains treasures of elixirs.

Or they discovered the tomb of a certain monk from the Zhuxiao Realm in the pre-Sui Dynasty, which contained magical secrets and the like.

Ninety-nine points are false, and the remaining one point...may not be true.

Arrived.

The sound of the crutches poking the wooden floor suddenly stopped. Jiao Cheng opened a door and walked in.

The air in the room was filled with a strong smell of medicine. Through the dim candlelight, one could see an unconscious tattooed man lying on the bed in the corner of the room.

There are two other men taking care of the bedside.

"Little Doctor Li."

Jiao Cheng turned sideways so that Li Ang could see the tattooed man's condition, "Can this man be cured?"

Li Ang took a step forward and saw that the tattooed man was unconscious, his face was pale, and his lips and nails (finger and toenails) were blue-purple.

The clothes on his body had just been changed, and there were traces of vomiting under his mouth and on his neck.

There are no signs of trauma on the head,

Cold limbs,

Pupils...

Li Ang opened the other person's eyelids and saw that the tattooed man's pupils were unequal in size on both sides, his reaction to light was slow, and the color of his eyes seemed abnormal.

But without an ophthalmoscope, I can’t see clearly.

Li Ang let go of the tattooed man's eyelids and asked: "Where has he been before? Why is he unconscious."

The two men taking care of him beside the bed hesitated to speak and quickly glanced at Jiao Cheng, who was deep in thought and said nothing.

It’s not convenient to say it, or you don’t want to say it?

Li Ang, who just wanted to take Song Shaoyuan and You Douzhi away, was too lazy to dig deeper and continued to ask: "When did he fall into coma? What were the symptoms before the coma? Was there vomiting and incontinence?"

Jiao Cheng is still immersed in thinking.

This is the first time I have seen such uncooperative family members.

Li Ang frowned slightly, "Do you want to cure him? If you keep delaying it..."

"Two hours."

Jiao Cheng suddenly said: "He fell into a coma two hours ago. Before the coma, he had vomiting and incontinence, and his reaction was slow. No matter how he called his name, he didn't respond."

Li Ang asked: "Have you ever had convulsions? Have you ever burned coal in your room for heating?"

Jiao Cheng replied: "No."

Li Ang thought for a moment and said to Jiao Cheng: "This man has been unconscious for two hours. I am only responsible for treating him. Whether he can wake up depends on his own luck."

Jiao Cheng thought for a moment and nodded.

"Okay."

Li Ang immediately said: "Move him to a ventilated room, open the doors and windows,

Prepare a large amount of clean ice cubes, wooden sticks, and two or three large wooden barrels.

In addition, ask your people to go to Dongshi immediately and buy kelp and gypsum. Remember to choose dried kelp with a layer of white frost on the surface. The more the better.

If you can’t tell whether it’s white frost or mildew, just lick it, the white frost is sweet.”

"Kelp?"

The gang members inside and outside the room, as well as the two swordsmen, all cast surprised glances.

Can kelp, and even dirty kelp, also cure diseases?

"Don't be stunned."

Jiao Cheng said calmly, "Everyone, move."

"Yes!"

The gang members, except for the two swordsmen, immediately carried out Li Ang's orders.

Or carefully move the unconscious man, including his mattress, to a ventilated room.

Or go straight to the warehouse to find ice cubes and barrels.

Seeing everyone getting busy, Li Ang stepped out of the room, his mind spinning.

The coma symptoms of the tattooed man are not like carbon monoxide poisoning, cerebral hemorrhage or epilepsy, but more like... cerebral edema.

To be more precise, it is high altitude cerebral edema caused by acute hypoxia.

But the problem is...

‘Where did the plateau come from near Chang’an?’
