The cold rain poured on him wantonly, and the cold wind ruthlessly swept away the remaining warmth. His body became colder and colder, but his heart became harder and harder, and his mind became more and more clear.
As his blood cooled, the poison on his shoulders seemed to be frozen and flowed forward in his meridians very slowly.
The heavy rain lasted for nearly two hours and finally stopped. To the world, these two short hours were just a very short moment, but to Lu Chen, it was an extremely long time.
The clouds closed and the rain stopped, the wind stopped and the thunder ceased, and there was silence between heaven and earth.
A bright moon hangs in the sky, and its faint silvery white moonlight gently touches everything in the world, as if it can heal all pain. The air becomes fresh and moist, mixed with the fragrance of soil and flowers, which is invigorating.
Lu Chen's right half of his body was completely numb and he lost consciousness. Fortunately, he could still walk normally, but it was a little difficult. Now he has walked twenty miles!
His body was shaky, like a small boat swaying with the waves in the angry sea, and like a candle flickering in the madness, it seemed that it would fall down at any time.
After nearly half an hour, the left half of his body also gradually became weak. There was only a trace of warmth in one place, and his heart was beating slightly. He finally couldn't hold on and could not stand steadily.
"Bang!"
Lu Chen fell to the ground and looked at the dense forest in the distance.
It was quiet there, and you could see the bright moonlight shining like a spotlight, illuminating the place as bright as a white room, as if some beast was absorbing the essence of the moon.
There is a figure flickering in front of you
For him now, that is heaven! There is hope of life there! And now he is on the edge of life and death, with darkness behind him,
Death has enveloped everything and is devouring his last bit of life. The flowers and birds are singing in front of him, and the holy atmosphere is filling every corner. This is the paradise he yearns for.
Lu Chen stretched out his hand, kicked his legs back, and crawled forward with great effort.
He has never been as embarrassed as he is today. He is so small and humble at this moment. No one can remain calm in the face of death, but faith can defeat everything!
a little, a little
He moved like this, crawling through seemingly distant and unreachable distances. Every time he climbed, he would feel a little comfort in his heart.
Because he was closer to the target, this gave him endless confidence, but the God of Death had not left yet, and was still eating away at his remaining vitality bit by bit.
He felt like he couldn't support it any longer. This was already his limit!
"No! I can't die! I still have a lot of things to do, I can't die here!" Lu Chen was speechless and could only shout loudly in his heart.
A magic power surged out of his brain, supporting him to continue moving forward. He didn't know how long he had been crawling.
The sky changes from bright to clear, from dark to bright, and now there are no more bright stars in the dotted night sky. It should be the time when morning and dusk alternate.
The sky is getting brighter and brighter, the morning star is shining in the distant sky, wisps of dark light cut through the night, and the brilliant morning sun is about to emerge.
The footsteps of death were approaching. Lu Chen felt a dull pain in his heart, and his strength was rapidly passing away at a perceptible speed. He closed his eyes, panted slightly, and repeated the crawling action mechanically,
He had only one thought in his heart: Forward! Forward, forward!
As long as you have one breath left, you will never give up!
Death, the most powerful enemy in the world, uses my life as a bonus to let us fight happily!
Suddenly there was the sound of footsteps nearby, and the sound gradually became louder and louder.
Chase Lu opened his eyes with difficulty, and vaguely saw a man and a woman flying towards him quickly. Judging from their appearance, they seemed to be Tulu and the helper Tulu was looking for.
He knew he was saved, his mind relaxed, he felt dizzy, and passed out. In the moment before he passed out, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a smile. Death, I won!
Lu Chen's mind was in chaos and there was a dull pain. He vaguely saw the little golden ball in his mind spinning continuously, emitting streams of golden light full of vitality, and a mini snake wailing under the golden light.
He only vaguely heard footsteps ringing and disappearing, and there seemed to be people talking in low voices.
After who knows how long, he finally gained some strength, and his perception of the outside world gradually became clearer.
It seemed that someone was sitting by the bed and watching him. The faint fragrance came over him, refreshing his mind and making him deeply intoxicated.
Lu Chen slowly opened his eyes, and what he saw was a beautiful and elegant woman in white. Her eyes were watery, and she was looking at him with concern.
"Lu Chen, you're awake!" The woman in white was smiling, and the tenderness on her face was touching. She was exactly the helper Master Tulu was looking for before.
Seeing the gentle smile on the woman's face, he felt that the injuries on his body were instantly healed. Lu Chen looked at the woman, "I won? Did I survive?"
"That's right, Lu Chen, you survived. You don't know that you were in a coma for two days, but your vitality is still very strong!"
The woman in white saw Lu Chen's puzzled face, as if in disbelief, and answered his doubts.
"Are you the helper Tulu asked for?" Lu Chen calmed down after knowing his situation, and then he had the energy to ask the woman in front of him.
"Yes, thank God Tulu happened to meet me when he came out, otherwise you would have left me here." The woman in white looked at him and said with a smile.
Lu Chen continued: "Really? If I have such a beautiful young lady to take care of me every time I get injured, I think I can get injured a few more times."
The woman's face was slightly red, and she glanced at him angrily and said, "You are so injured and still want to joke. Do you know that you almost died? If it had been a little later, I'm afraid you would have..."
"He's dead, right?" Lu Chen didn't shy away from it.
"Huh, since you know, you should cherish your life and don't take it seriously. If Master Tulu and I hadn't arrived in time this time, I'm afraid you would have been buried long ago."
Lu Chen took a deep breath, exhaled it for a long time, and said with a smile, "Am I not dead? I am blessed with great fortune."
At this time, Master Tulu walked into the cave, saw Lu Chen lying on the bed, and said regretfully: "Boy Lu, I'm sorry, if I had known I shouldn't have left you, otherwise you wouldn't have been so seriously injured.
Already."
"Tulu, you also know. I want you to leave because I want you to find helpers. If you hadn't found helpers, maybe I would have met the King of Hell."
Lu Chen thought of the terrifying experience before. If it happened again, he might not survive. It was really difficult.
"No matter what, it's my fault!" Master Tulu lowered his head and seriously admitted his mistake to Lu Chen.
"Okay, okay, okay, it's your fault. Now go find me the Blood Spirit Grass, Purple Yangzi, Ice Spirit Root... The higher the quality of these medicinal materials, the better." Lu Chen said helplessly.
"Ah!" Master Tulu was a little sluggish. He didn't expect that Lu Chen would forgive him for making such a big mistake.
"Ah what! Didn't you see that I was so seriously injured? Why don't you go and find me some medicinal herbs?" Lu Chen couldn't help but get angry when he saw Master Tulu still staying there. He was so blind.
"Okay, okay, I'll go find it for you right away, and I'll find it all for you within tomorrow." Master Tulu reacted immediately,
Lu Chen wasn't blaming him, he immediately agreed and went out.
The next day, Lu Chen sat cross-legged on the ground, relaxing his mind and absorbing the aura between heaven and earth.
The woman in white rested her chin on her knees, tilted her head and looked carefully at the face that looked a little childish.
She is not very good-looking, but her facial features are very straight, giving people a sense of elegance, and the way her brows move slightly seems to have a special flavor.
For a moment, the woman in white became fascinated. Even when Lu Chen opened his eyes, he still didn't react. It wasn't until Lu Chen couldn't help coughing that the woman in white seemed to wake up from a dream.
Two red clouds rose up from her beautiful face. At that moment, her heart was like a deer bumping into each other, jumping non-stop. She turned her head to one side, lowered her eyes, and did not dare to meet Lu Chen's eyes.
There was an awkward atmosphere in the air, and both of them fell into silence. Lu Chen didn't know how to speak, and the woman in white felt guilty because Lu Chen bumped into the scene just now.
"Cough cough! Cough cough!" Master Tulu coughed just in time. "Lu Chen, I have found the medicinal materials you are looking for. Look, are you going to take these medicinal materials?"
"Tulu, you first take out the blood spirit grass, coagulated blood flower... more than a dozen medicinal materials." Lu Chen glanced at Master Tulu and ordered.
"Then put them back...what are you doing Tulu?"
"Don't worry about it. Just watch me. I promise to surprise you." He turned around and walked out.
Lu Chen and the woman in white looked at each other without saying a word, letting Tulu go.
At dusk, Tulu Xing hurried over, still holding something in his hand. "Here it is, Mr. Lu," he said, opening his palm.
It is a small golden pill. It feels like it has been successfully refined just now. It is steaming with a hint of heat and exudes the fragrance of the pill, which smells very good.
"I'm telling you, don't look at it because it's small. It's a hundred times more effective than ordinary medicine. Just take it and I'm sure you'll be fine in no time."
Lu Chen picked up the elixir from Tulu's hand and swallowed it directly. He immediately felt a heat flowing through his body. The five internal organs, meridians, and lungs all over his body were roasted. It was hot and very comfortable.
"Check your body to see if there is nothing wrong with it." Master Tulu looked at him and said.
"Thank you!" Lu Chen said to Tulu sincerely. "It's okay, my friend." Master Tulu said with a smile.
"May I ask, Brother Tulu, if you can teach me this alchemy technique?" Lu Chen said sincerely, clasping his hands in front of his chest.
Master Tulu paused and saw that Lu Chen didn’t speak. After a while, Tulu came back to his senses and said slowly,
"I can only teach you a little bit about refining medicine, because I don't have a thorough understanding myself. You still have to understand many things by yourself. In this case, it doesn't mean that I have no successor."
After speaking, he looked at Lu Chen and asked, "Are you willing?"
"Yes, I do."
"Okay, then starting from tomorrow, you will learn the art of alchemy from me."
"Yes, master!" Lu Chen readily agreed.
Time flew away from the fingertips very quickly. When Lu Chen was learning alchemy and talismans with Tulu, time passed quietly for a year, and the four seasons passed by in the blink of an eye.
"Tulu, I plan to leave here the day after tomorrow. Do you want to go with me?" Lu Chen said to Tulu after finishing practicing the exercises.
"I don't want to. The outside world is not something I can adapt to. I'd better stay here. It's very good." Master Tulu said with a faint smile.
Today's Lu Chen can only be described as a higher level, and Lu Chen has somehow become silent for such a long time, and the woman in white rarely talks to Lu Chen.
