Chapter 42: Choice

The white ceiling, the bright but not dazzling white light, the room is unusually quiet, and the occasional whisper of conversation outside the hallway can be heard.

Li Yu woke up slowly, he barely opened his eyes, and what he saw was Li Mu sitting on the edge of the bed peeling apples.

He moved his body, the sharp pain in his arm due to the muscle strain couldn't help but make him drenched in cold sweat, Li Mu saw that he woke up, and a look of surprise appeared on his face: "Brother, you are awake!"

Li Yu didn't dare to move casually, he looked at the surrounding environment, and asked weakly, "Where is this?"

"Extraordinary Special Hospital. Li Mu handed the peeled apple to his mouth.

Li Yu shook his head and said he didn't want to eat it.

"Why are you here?"

"Hmph! I'm embarrassed to ask me how I came here?" Li Mu made a small face, "Didn't you say that you would meet your classmates in the morning, why did you go to the hospital after you met?"

Li Yu smiled bitterly: "Who knew it would become like this." ”

He suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked, "Is there anyone else who came with me?"

"No, but I don't know the specifics," Li Mu looked dazed, "It was Teacher He who called home and said that I would come here to take care of you." ”

Li Yu's expression was a little depressed: "Oh." ”

"What do you mean by this 'oh'?" Li Mu pursed his lips with an unhappy face, "As soon as I heard the news of your injury, I didn't know how worried I was, so I rushed over, but you woke up and didn't even say a word of thanks, so you said an 'oh'?"

"I'm sorry, maybe I'm a little unconscious right now," Li Yu reluctantly explained.

"Look at you, it's only been less than a month since you entered the first year of high school, and you've been to the infirmary more times than in the three years of junior high school combined, if your mother knew, she wouldn't have let you cultivate!" Li Mu nagged on the side, "No one said that cultivation must be injured, you can't protect yourself well, otherwise when you get older in the future, any old cold legs and rheumatism will haunt you, and then see if you are afraid." ”

Li Yu lay on the bed and listened quietly, but his mind was no longer here, he wanted to know the situation of the other person at this moment.

Suddenly there was a clear and short footstep outside the door, and after a while, the door was pushed open, and a familiar figure appeared in front of the two of them.

Forever neat hair, straight suit, a pair of gold-trimmed glasses.

He Jinglong.

"Teacher He. ”

"Teacher He. ”

He Jinglong nodded slightly, first glanced at Li Mu, and then fell on Li Yu, and said in a flat tone: "How are you recovering?"

"I have a muscle strain in my right hand, and I can't move it anymore, so there's nothing wrong with other things. Li Yu replied honestly.

The expression on He Jinglong's face didn't show any emotion, he walked to the side of the bed, Li Mu knew that they must have something to say, so he hurriedly stood up and said, "Teacher He, sit down, I'll go out first to breathe." ”

"Hmm. ”

When Li Mu came out of the room and closed the door lightly, He Jinglong looked at Li Yu again and said, "Run True Qi, see if there is anything abnormal." ”

"Oh. ”

Li Yu struggled to sit up from the bed, endured the severe pain caused by the tearing of the muscles in his right hand, and it took a long time before he could barely make the exercise posture of the turtle breath gong.

He Jinglong sat next to him and watched quietly, without any intention of helping.

Li Yu took a deep breath, tried to concentrate, and successfully entered the cultivation state after a minute.

The "Qing Qi" produced by the Turtle Breath Gong is also the so-called True Qi, which is basically entrenched in the dantian in today's realm, that is, several acupuncture points under the umbilicus in the abdomen.

A feeling of coolness is gradually mobilized and begins to merge into the meridians around the body.

His demeanor was peaceful, his breath was long, and there was a faint sense of tranquility and harmony.

He Jinglong looked at him, although the expression on his face still did not change, but his eyes showed appreciation.

In this way, after a full week, time passed in a hurry, and two hours passed.

Li Yu exhaled, and the true qi in his body returned to the lower abdominal dantian, and he only felt a lot more relaxed, and the feeling of muscle swelling and pain was slightly relieved.

"How do you feel?" He Jinglong asked in a deep voice.

Li Yu nodded: "There is nothing abnormal, the true qi runs smoothly, and it is even better than the state of luck in the previous two days." ”

"Well," He Jinglong stretched out his hand and pressed it on his shoulder, signaling that he could lie down, "Your evil qi entered your body before, so it caused a coma, but now it seems that the situation should be not bad, the true qi generated by the turtle breath gong implies the meaning of righteousness and peace, and it happens to be the nemesis of evil qi." ”

The expression on Li Yu's face changed suddenly: "You mean, those two people are a cult organization?"

He was so impressed by the word "cult."

"That's right," He Jinglong said, "It's been found out, it's a person from the Evil Heart Altar." ”

"In other words, has my current identity been exposed?" Li Yu felt an inexplicable fear in his heart.

The impression of those two people on him was too strange, and the feeling of horror and powerlessness was too much for him to let go.

"There's no way to be sure yet," He Jinglong shook his head and said, "The two people who attacked you are just peripheral members of the Evil Heart Altar, and their own strength is not strong, and the result we infer is that you may have been inadvertently encountered by them on the road, because the strength of the two of you is too low, so you have the intention of taking over the merit alone, but unfortunately you ran into the Zhao family's general-level martial artist, resulting in the failure of the mission." ”

Li Yu listened carefully to his words and said, "So it's very likely that those two didn't pass on my news to the Evil Heart Altar at all?"

"It's just that the odds are high. ”

He breathed a sigh of relief.

If the news of the [Innate Spirit] had already leaked out at this time, I am afraid that he would have no other safer way than to go to the wasteland to escape for his life.

"Don't be too happy, even if the people from the Evil Heart Altar don't find out the news, the mysterious deaths of two cult members will attract the attention of those who care about it, and with your current ability, you can't stop the search of the high-ranking members of the cult at all. ”

"What then?"

"There's only one way. He Jinglong looked at him, "Into the wasteland." ”

"But with my current ability, entering the wasteland will be a dead end sooner or later!"

"So you're actually not ready yet, I'll give you a month, practice well during this period, prepare carefully, and after a month, no matter what you learn, I will send you to the wasteland, and the base will equip you with a special team. ”

"And how long am I going to stay in there?"

"Wait until the second stage of your turtle breath is completed. He Jinglong's words were amazing.
