Chapter 17: First Sight (Collect!) )

When Gao Zuo woke up from the table, it was past five o'clock in the morning. He looked at the jar at hand and knew he had drunk too much last night. Although the alcohol content of rice wine is not high, it is easy for people to drink a lot of it without realizing it, and eventually they will get drunk.

Thinking of the conversation with Lai Ruoxue last night, my memory is actually a little vague, and I still remember what I talked about, but it is incomplete, a little fragmented, and a little confusing. Gao Zhen shook his head, trying to sober himself up, but he at least had some understanding of the tattoo on Lai Ruoxue's arm and her master.

He turned his head to take a look and found that Lai Ruoxue was also drunk, kneeling on the ground, lying on the stool, and falling asleep. Gao Zhen remembered that he seemed to have told her a lot of things about himself yesterday, such as about An Lan, about the fat man, and about the present world...... I don't know how much she will remember when she wakes up.

"Hey, are you awake?" Gao Zhen pushed Lai Ruoxue, who was lying on the stool.

"Hmm...... Forehead! I can't wake up......" Lai Ruoxue hiccuped, covered her face in her arms, and said with a squeak.

"Then I'm leaving, don't worry about you!" Pil back and prepare to go back to Yunyanmen.

"Oh, good...... Remember to take the money off the table...... Belch! Lai Ruoxue said intermittently.

"Where can I go to find you in the future?" Before Gao Zhen left, he suddenly asked.

"Gambling house...... You shouldn't come to me, though...... I'll go find you......" After Lai Ruoxue finished speaking, she fell asleep again, and she didn't know if the words just now were in her dreams or when she was awake.

Gao Zhen looked at her, shook his head, walked out of the Drunken Man Pavilion, and walked towards the west gate of the Smoke City. The city gate will open at six o'clock in the morning, and I will go out of the city just in time at that time, and then go directly to Yanxia Mountain.

Although it was past five o'clock in the morning and the streets of Yancheng were sparsely populated, there were still many shops open in preparation for the coming day.

Gao Zhen passed by a clothing store and saw that there were women's clothes sold inside, so he walked in to see if he could find a suitable dress for An Lan to wear in the fairy world.

Towards six o'clock, he came out of the clothing store with a newly purchased aqua green garment. He felt that this dress should be quite suitable for An Lan, it looked very cute, very suitable for her temperament, and he knew that his sister liked green very much, especially this faint light green.

With his clothes in hand, he walked out of the city gate with a high pillow and climbed up the stairs to the Yunyan Gate on the mountainside of Yanxia Mountain. He didn't know how to fly with his sword yet, so he could only spend more than an hour, and with his stamina, he ran up in one go.

He hadn't completely sobered up, and after such a long run, his limbs were extremely sore, and as soon as he saw the archway of Yunyanmen appear in front of him, he held his knees and gasped desperately.

Suddenly, he saw a thin figure standing in the cloud-filled square.

Is it a sister? Thinking to himself, Gao Zhen immediately had his energy, stood up straight, and ran towards the thin figure.

It was indeed An Lan, just by looking at her height and size, she could recognize it with her high pillow, but she couldn't see her face.

Because, her whole body was wrapped in white bandages, like a little mummy.

"An Lan? An Lan! How did you become like this? I'm your brother! Seeing An Lan looking at him motionless, he stepped forward anxiously and cupped his sister's cheek.

An Lan's face was also wrapped in bandages, revealing only a pair of eyes and her jet-black hair. Squatted down on a high pillow, looking at An Lan's eyes peeking out of the gap in the bandage, her gaze was dull, her eyes were between the hollowness of people and the emotional gaze of normal people, her pupils were deep, there were some wrinkles, I don't know what was going on.

Gao Zhen gently picked up his sister's little hand, which was also tightly wrapped in a white bandage, and held it in the palm of his hand, which was cold for a while. Gao Zhen tried to pinch it gently, shook it, and found that An Lan's joints were not stiff, but they seemed to lose control, unable to move on their own, like a puppet's hand, if no one pulled the silk thread, it would never move.

"Xiaolan, why don't you speak? Are you getting better? Tell my brother! Gao Zhen touched his sister's lips, the small mouth was sealed under the bandage, and Gao Zhen found that An Lan's mouth, like her hands, seemed to have lost the ability to control herself.

Could it be said? With a tight heart, he leaned his ear against An Lan's chest, wanting to listen to his heartbeat. He was very worried, very afraid that what he was hearing was a still voice, an empty mind.

"Don't listen." A voice sounded behind Gao Zhen, pulling him back as he was about to lean in.

"I've used the 'Soul Isolation Technique' to block your sister's brain from her body, and her soul can no longer control her shell. The soul and body still seem to be together, but a special 'wall' has been formed in the middle, as long as this kind of wall is still there, she can't control everything about her, and she can still ......" Old Senior Fang didn't know when he had appeared behind Gao Zhen and said to him.

Hearing this, the new clothes that Gao Zhen had bought for his sister fell to the ground, his fists clenched violently, and he turned around and hit the strange old man.

"Didn't you say you could cure her? Soul Isolation Technique? What's the difference between what she looks now and what she is dead? Gao Zhen's face became a little hideous because of anger, and he felt that he had been deceived by the strange old man, and his sister had completely become the experimental subject of the strange old man, and became his puppet.

Watching Gao Zhen punch him, the strange old man didn't move, and he just watched Gao Zhen hit him in the chest.

"Smack!" Gao Zhen only heard a muffled sound, his fist seemed to have hit the quicksand, and all the strength was dispersed, and he didn't shake the old man at all.

"Are you...... Who? Just when Gao Zhen was annoyed, he suddenly heard An Lan behind him speak, but this voice became a little different from her voice, a little wooden, not like it came out of her mouth, but as if it was transmitted directly from the brain to Gao Zhen's brain.

"Xiaolan?" Gao Zhen turned back in surprise and cupped his sister's cheek again.

"I don't know you......" An Lan's mouth didn't move, but such a sentence came into Gao Zhen's mind out of thin air.

"This is my strange place, after people have been subjected to the Soul Isolation Technique, they will completely lose the ability to think and act. But your sister is a little special, she seems to have a second soul in her body, and she has a second brain. I had some simple surgeries, but I still couldn't find her second brain. The strange old man explained in a low voice.

"Second brain? What do you mean? The current An Lan is not the previous An Lan? "Gao Zhen's head was a little dizzy.

"Yes, the first brain is isolated, and now it's the second brain that is talking to you." The strange old man said.

"This ......" Gao Zhen frowned, looking at the little girl in front of him whose body was her sister, but her soul was not.

"I'm Gao Zhen, who are you?" Gao Zhen asked her rhetorically.

"I'm ...... I am...... Who am I? An Lan's hand suddenly moved, she broke free from the high pillow hand, covered her head with her bandaged hands, her eyes were closed, she kept trembling, and she looked very painful.

The strange old man stepped forward and gently clicked on a few acupuncture points on her body, An Lan's body went soft, as if she had fallen asleep, and fell into the arms of the strange old man.

"Don't blame me, I've done my best. This is the best way to deal with the abandonment at the moment, although your sister has an immune physique, but this immune function does not seem to be strong enough, although it has helped her survive these few days, but after all, there is no guarantee that her body will not mutate. I isolated her first brain from her body to prevent the mutation from intensifying. However, this is not a cure, and when the barrier is broken, the virus can still invade her whole body from her brain, so that she will eventually become a detached person. The strange old man said.

"So what do I do? Is it only acceptable to accept this fact? Gao said bitterly.

"No, there is hope. Breaking off comes from the Holy Realm, and there should be the answer you want to find in the Holy Realm. The strange old man said.

"The Holy Realm?" Gao Zhen remembered what the chief officer of the Yang Banner in the current world said to himself, and he muttered to himself.

"Then I'm going to the Holy Realm now!" He thought for a moment and said firmly.

"There's no need to be in such a hurry, the answer isn't so easy to find. Besides, the passage to the Holy Realm has been monitored, and it is not something you can go to if you want to. You still have time, and the walls of barrier are not so easy to break. Kid, seize this time to make yourself stronger, and when you can knock me down with one punch, then you will be qualified to go to the Holy Realm to find answers. The strange old man said calmly, his expression gentle.

Child? Gao Zhen listened to him call himself like this, and he was a little unaccustomed to it. He looked at the strange old man in a daze, he was able to knock him down with one punch, so he was qualified to find the answer? It's strange that the old man's skills are so high, when will he be able to reach that height?

"There is a kind of fairy grass on the southern islands in the south of the fairy world, called 'Shenji Cistanche', your sister is a mortal, you were fed immortal medicine indiscriminately, used immortal magic indiscriminately, and hurt her vitality, and now she has undergone such an operation, and her body is very fragile. Only this fairy grass can help her recover. You go find one and come back, and I'll take care of her during this time. The strange old man pointed to the south.

Looking over there, I couldn't see anything, and my eyes were full of smoke.
