Chapter 083: Escape
The eyeball was congested, indicating that the blood qi in Wu Yuanan's body was rapidly flowing towards his head, breaking some fragile capillaries.
Gao Zheng slowed down the injection of energy, and placed needles on several acupuncture points to control the speed of blood qi.
From now on, we must pay special attention to Wu Yuanan's cerebral blood vessels, whether they can withstand this impact. Since it was impossible to judge the situation inside Wu Yuanan's brain, for the sake of safety, Gao Zheng could only postpone the continuation of the needle, and at the same time divert a part of the blood qi to the heart and lungs to reduce the pressure.
Fortunately, after experiencing several nostril bleedings, Wu Yuanan finally woke up.
After opening his eyes, the first thing he said was to ask how Wu Qing was? Then he asked Wu Yongnian what the situation was.
This is a knee-jerk reaction, and it can be seen that in his heart, Wu Qing and Wu Yongnian are always the people he cares about the most.
Gao Zheng briefly explained Wu Yuanan's situation after he passed out, and then asked him not to speak again. Because after the needle is pricked, it has to be pulled out, and this process is also full of dangers.
Wu Yuanan nodded slightly, closed his eyes and said nothing. However, Gao Zheng knew through his pulse and breath that his injuries had stabilized temporarily.
The next step is to take medication to regulate the body's functions, balance the yin and yang qi, and promote the wound to heal slowly.
Of course, the treatment conditions here are limited, and the symptoms can only be temporarily relieved, and the final treatment can only be carried out after going out.
Gao Zheng slowly pulled out all the silver needles on Wu Yuanan's body and gave him a four-reverse pill and two pills to replenish blood from the Yuan.
Four Reverse Pills are very common and are easily available at Chinese medicine pharmacies outside. However, the replenishing Yuan Pill is relatively rare, and it is generally not available on the market, and can only be obtained through the "Holy Doctor Gate" on the martial arts.
Naturally, the price of this miracle elixir will not be cheap, so the total stock in the small pharmacy is less than ten. And Gao Zheng gave Wu Yuanan two pills at once, I don't know if the group of old guys in the Wu family's old group would be distressed to death if they knew.
While giving it to Wu Yuanan, Gao Zheng also took two pills and put them on his body in case of emergency. After all, Wu Yuanan's condition was still unstable, and he could become ill at any time, so the two spare pills were reserved for him to save his life urgently.
Soon after Wu Yuanan took the Four Reverse Pills and the Buyuan Pill, his face was bloody, and his spirit was much better. Only then did he regain his strength and began to worry about Wu Qing's safety.
It's been almost half an hour since Wu Qing entered the hut, and he hasn't come out yet, not to mention Wu Yuanan, even Gao Zheng is a little nervous.
After the two discussed for a while, Gao Zheng picked up Wu Yuanan and walked towards the tomb keeper's hut.
Wu Yuanan felt that the tomb keeper in the hut was probably the old lady of the Wu family, so as the head of the Wu family, the elder group had not officially notified Wu Yuanan of his resignation as the head of the family at present, so he was still the nominal head of the family.
As the head of the house, you can meet the grave keeper in an emergency!
Now that the Wu family is in a mess, the situation is very critical, even if it is not because of Wu Qing, he has to report to the tomb keeper.
Just as the two of them walked to the door, the door of the hut suddenly opened, and Wu Qing slowly retreated from the house.
It can be seen that her emotions are much calmer than just now, but there are still tears on her face.
"Dad......" Seeing Wu Yuanan standing alive in front of him, Wu Qing suddenly threw herself into his arms and cried loudly.
After experiencing life and death, whether it is Wu Yuanan or Wu Qing at this moment, they all feel that family affection is particularly precious.
Now Wu Qing doesn't know about Yuan Ruoxi and Wu Ying, and thinks that Wu Yuanan is her only relative in the world, so she cherishes it even more.
"Kid, it's okay!" Wu Yuanan gently patted Wu Qing's back, and then took out his mobile phone to make a call, but found that there was no signal, so he had to give up.
Counting the time, Yuan Ruoxi and Wu Ying should have arrived at the Wu family's mansion a long time ago, and it is estimated that they are fighting viciously with the elders and the people of the Zhiwu Hall at this moment.
If he were to fight anyone from the Wu family alone, Wu Yuanan would not be worried, and with Yuan Ruoxi and Wu Ying's skills, he would be able to deal with it freely. But now the mother and son are facing the entire Wu family, even if the two of them have the support of the "Thorn Shadow Hall" behind them, it will be a situation where the fish are dead and the net is broken, and both sides are defeated.
If someone thinks that the overall force of the Wu family is the Elder Group and the Zhiwu Hall, then they are very wrong. The Elder Group and the Zhiwutang are only the backbone of the "Middle Building", and there is also a bodyguard company on the periphery of it.
In addition, each building of the Wu family represents a business division, and each business division has its own social relations and protective forces. Once a foreign enemy invades the Wu family, the Elder Group will quickly integrate the resources and forces of all business divisions to make a strong counterattack.
In the current Wu family, the power of the head of the family has been gradually replaced by the elder group. More often than not, the "head of the family" is just a spiritual symbol and at the same time acts as a legal person for the family business, nothing more.
It is the representatives of the elders of the elder group who really hold the real power and mobilize and integrate the family's resources, especially the elders.
In the face of a behemoth like the Wu family, even if all the members of the "Assassin Shadow Hall" were dispatched to support Yuan Ruoxi and Wu Ying, it would be difficult to control the situation. What's more, this is an internal affair of the Wu family, and the "Assassin Shadow Hall" may not interfere.
In short, at this moment, Wu Yuanan was very worried about Yuan Ruoxi and Wu Ying, but he couldn't get in touch.
At this time, Wu Qing had calmed down, got up from Wu Yuanan's arms, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said to Gao Zheng: "That senior let you in...... He is not the old lady of the Wu family, but a Taoist leader. β
"Dao Chief?" Gao Zheng frowned and paused, then walked to the hut and knocked lightly on the door.
"Come in......" An ethereal voice came from inside the room, obviously very close, but it seemed to have penetrated from another world.
Pushing open the door, the light inside was very dim, but it didn't affect Gao Zheng, standing at the door, he could see the middle hall of the house, and there was an old man in a Taoist robe.
There is no imaginary fairy wind bone, but it is a little sloppy. Long hair and beard intertwined covered most of his face, making it difficult to tell how old he was.
The house was rudimentary, with no bed, just a puff mat and a bench, a simple stove and a dark hanging pot. There are a lot of things hanging on the walls, including rice, noodles, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, all kinds of jerky, and even wine.
It can be seen that the old man is not uncannibalistic fireworks, on the contrary, it is more like the "flower arrangement" in the hearts of the gods and Buddhas who have passed through the intestines with wine and meat.
"Do you want me to invite you in?" Seeing that Gao Zheng stood at the door and didn't move for a long time, the old man said lightly, then shook his sleeves slightly, and suddenly a strong force "sucked" Gao Zheng in.
After Gao Zheng came back to his senses, he hugged his fist at the old man, bowed down and bowed: "The younger Gao Zheng has seen a real person!" β
This is the respect of the younger generation for the elders, and it is also the awe of the weak for the strong, which is a bit clichΓ©d, but it is deeply recognized by the elderly.
"Sit down!" The old man pointed to the bench opposite, and said lightly: "That girl should tell you, I am not from the Wu family, just for the promise of the year, to help the Wu family guard here for thirty years." β
"I've also heard what happened to the Wu family today, and it has nothing to do with me, so this is not a reason for me to forgive you for breaking into here. However, you are the apprentice of Wu Lao Ghost, and you value love and righteousness, dare to take responsibility, and are very angry with me, so I will not pursue this matter. β
Hearing the old man say this, Gao Zheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and finally let go of his suspense.
The old man paused, and then said: "I didn't expect that Old Ghost Wu would accept such an apprentice as you, and it can be regarded as having a successor." Alas, it's a pity that you didn't learn all his skills, otherwise you wouldn't have let the old diseases of your body remain until now...... Well, put your hand out......"
Gao Zheng didn't know what the old man's purpose was for him to stretch out his hand, but in the face of a legendary powerhouse in the God Transformation Realm, he couldn't refuse at all.
The old man's figure moved suddenly, moving to Gao Zheng like a ghost, and then raised his hands and put them on Gao Zheng's wrists.
A burst of majestic energy flowed into the meridians from Gao Zheng's wrist, first the hand sun, the hand Taiyin, the hand yin, through the lung meridian, the heart meridian, and then to the pericardial meridian, until it converged to the upper, middle, and lower dantian, and finally fused through, like a torrent, filled with four feet and hundreds of acupuncture points on the body.
Gao Zheng was nervous for a while, and subconsciously resisted, but the old man's energy was too strong, and he quickly took over when he entered Gao Zheng's body.
This made Gao Zheng suddenly nervous, and let the external energy dominate, wouldn't it be easy to be controlled by the other party?
However, as this energy slowly merged with the energy in Gao Zheng's body, Gao Zheng felt that the meridians that were still a little blocked from time to time were suddenly unimpeded, and after the baptism of the old man's domineering energy, Gao Zheng's meridians were stronger and more resilient than before.
This means that the meridians of the high righteousness can now withstand more energy. This is like a wooden barrel, which could only hold ten catties of water, but the diameter of the bucket has been increased to hold twenty catties or even more water.
And the energy injected by the old man, after fusing with Gao Zheng's own energy in his body, has become Gao Zheng's energy, which can be used by Gao Zheng.
It wasn't until this moment that Gao Zheng realized that the old man was helping him repair the damaged meridians and sent a part of his strength to him. Although the purpose of transporting energy is to open up the blocked meridians for Gao Zheng, it has allowed Gao Zheng to get real benefits.
Gao Zheng closed his eyes and carefully sensed the changes in his body, although the qi was surging and tumbling, it was not out of control. On the contrary, Gao Zheng felt that his every move could bring out a violent atmosphere.
This is no longer the state of entering the Grandmaster Realm for the first time, with the help of the old man, Gao Zheng's strength has actually been raised to a small realm and entered the second level of the Grandmaster Realm.
Along the way of martial arts, the higher the realm of cultivation, the more difficult it is to advance. Even a small level of realm requires great opportunities and one's own perception.
In short, Gao Zheng completely relaxed, quietly feeling the changes brought to his body after the advancement, as well as the mysterious feeling.
I don't know how long it took, the restless energy in the body finally calmed down, and Gao Zheng returned to reality.
"I owed Feng Lao Ghost a favor back then, and now I should pay it back to him." The old man withdrew his hand and returned to the starting position with the ghostly body method: "You have strange muscles and bones, if you can persevere, you will definitely be a legend of the God Realm in the future." β
Gao Zheng exhaled for a while, gradually calmed down, and then slowly opened his eyes.
He didn't know what kind of relationship and grievances there were between the old man and Feng Zongdao, but it was a fact that the old man helped him just now, so he immediately knelt on the ground and respectfully kowtowed to the old man three times.
The old man laughed and said: "You are not very similar to Old Ghost Feng at this point, even if Old Ghost Feng gets a big bargain, he takes it for granted." β
Then the two chatted for a while, and the old man asked Gao Zheng about some of the current martial arts, and Gao Zheng knew everything and said everything.
When Gao Zheng talked about why the number of Great Masters of the Martial Arts and the Legend of the Transformation God Realm was so small, the old man shook his head and said that these rumors were not reliable. In fact, there are not a few great masters in the martial arts, but many of them are hidden from the world and rarely show their heads.
But once you reach the third level of the Great Grandmaster, that is, the Grandmaster Mirror Peak, you will touch a layer of barriers. The vast majority of the Great Grandmaster Realm masters stopped here, unable to break through this barrier and advance to the Transformation God Realm.
Therefore, many great masters who have cultivated to the third level will find a quiet place and concentrate on cultivation in order to seek a breakthrough.
There is no end to the martial arts, and everyone wants to rush to the top and see all the mountains at a glance.
The first two levels of the Grandmaster Realm are a process of accumulation of energy, and they are fundamentally different from the third level in addition to the difference between strength and weakness. As long as you reach the third level of the Great Grandmaster, the state of mind will change fundamentally, and you will be able to see the realm above the Grandmaster realm.
The so-called "quenching the body and refining the essence, accumulating the essence into qi, refining the gas and transforming the gods", from the realm of the grandmaster to the realm of the gods, is a reborn fish and dragon change. This kind of breakthrough belongs to the transformation from "human" to "god", and not all great masters have this kind of creation, which can only be encountered but not sought.
As for how many legends there are in the Transformation God Realm, the old man can't be sure. However, according to his previous understanding, there are not only a few rumors of Liao Liao.
Not counting the "ghosts" that have appeared in recent years, the old man knows that there are as many as seven.
"With you, it should be eight." Gao Zheng smiled and said, "If the junior guesses correctly, you should be the legendary 'Dao', right?" β
The old man's face froze, and he laughed, and then nodded slightly: "That's right, I am the 'Dao'!" I'm curious, though, how do you see that? Is it just my robe? β
Gao Zheng paused and said slowly: "You have a natural aura of Dao Law in your body, which should originate from the exercises you cultivated. Because my master is also from Taoism, he practices Taoist exercises, and he has an aura similar to yours. In the martial arts, there is only you who can be related to the 'Dao', except for my master. Of course, there is another reason for this......"
Speaking of this, Gao Zheng stopped, not that he intended to hang the old man's appetite, and he didn't dare, but he found that the old man seemed to be a little distracted, as if he was recalling some important past events.
Gao Zheng was worried that talking to himself would disturb the old man's thoughts, so he didn't continue.
The old man was silent for a long time, then raised his eyes and glanced at Gao Zheng: "I didn't expect that Old Ghost Feng was also a cultivator, and his eyes were cloudy back then, but he didn't see it...... If you go on, what else is there for you to see that I am the Tao? β
Gao Zheng found that the old man's eyes were a little confused, but he didn't dare to continue staring into his eyes, so he continued: "When you used your strength just now, a mark appeared on your forehead, which should be a Dao seal. Master once told you that only the Dao Seal will appear in the Transformation Divine Realm of cultivating the Dao Method. β
The old man nodded while listening: "You kid is as ghostly as Old Ghost Feng, thoughtful, and meticulous in considering problems. It was also my negligence that I did not hide the Dao seal...... Well, since you know my identity, there's no need to hide it. I admit that I am the Tao, but when you get out of this door, I want you to forget everything you know. β
"Don't worry, I know what I can say and what I can't say." Gao Zheng nodded, knowing that the old man was unwilling to reveal his whereabouts.
After all, a legendary master of the God Transformation Realm, hiding in a dark underground cave to help others guard the tomb for thirty years, will definitely be made fun of by people in the martial arts when he says it.
Even if you don't dare to do it openly, you will talk about it secretly.
The words are terrifying, and the old man doesn't want to be suspicious of what kind of relationship he has with the Wu family.
After the two chatted a few more words, the old man gave Gao Zheng an eviction order, and at the same time repeatedly told Gao Zheng to keep his whereabouts tight-lipped, otherwise even if he chased him to the ends of the earth, he would take Gao Zheng's life.
After saying that, a sudden burst of energy broke out, lifting Gao Zheng out of the door.
From the time Gao Zheng entered the house to now, nearly an hour has passed, and Wu Yuanan and Wu Qing have already been in a hurry.
Seeing Gao Zheng coming out, the two of them greeted him at the same time. Seeing that he was safe and sound, he was relieved.
"After being in for so long, what did you talk to your seniors?" Wu Qing looked Gao Zheng up and down for a while, tilted his head and said suspiciously: "The momentum on your body is so powerful, it seems to be ...... Seems more powerful than before? β
Gao Zheng didn't deny it, but he didn't have time to elaborate, so he casually said a few perfunctory words, and then asked Wu Yuanan if he had any way out? You can't stay here for a long time, the old man has already spoken just now, asking a few people to leave as soon as possible.
Moreover, Wu Yuanan's injuries are not optimistic, and they must be treated in time.
Wu Yuanan sighed, shook his head and said, "The door to the outside world is only opened every year during the ancestor worship ceremony, and the switch is activated from the outside. β
"So, we'll have to go back to the council chamber the way we came from?" Gao Zheng patted his head, a little headache.
I don't know if the above people have withdrawn, if they haven't withdrawn, going back like this is tantamount to throwing themselves into the net. And once the escape shaft is exposed, even the basement will not be safe here.
Because the old man guarding the tomb had already warned him just now, if he came back after leaving here, he would not say anything about it and kill him directly.
The space of the corridor is narrow, and there is not even a place to hide, so there is basically no chance of winning a head-to-head battle. If a few more people who can play with guns pop up, it will be a dead end.
"Dad, I remember that there is a passage in the storage room on the basement floor, which is very close to the ground, why don't we go there and see if there is a mobile phone signal?" Wu Qing's eyes lit up as she spoke: "As long as there is a mobile phone signal, I can immediately contact 'Zhenghe' to send someone to rescue us!" β
Wu Yuanan nodded: "Go and try it!" β
When he said try, of course, it won't be an attempt to connect with "Zhenghe". If Yuan Ruoxi and Wu Ying were in the middle building at the moment, then it would be just right for their mother and son to come over.
After agreeing, several people asked the old man to bury Wu Yongnian in the Wu family mausoleum.
The old man has been silent, which should be regarded as acquiescence.
So Wu Yuanan took Wu Qing and Gao Zheng into the cave behind the ancestral hall, chose a place to bury bones, and buried Wu Yongnian.
When they returned to the ancestral hall, Wu Yuanan and Wu Qing knelt in front of the door of the old man guarding the tomb, kowtowed a few times, and then left with a heavy heart.
Several people took the elevator to the first floor and found the passage that Wu Qing said, and sure enough, there was a mobile phone signal. Wu Yuanan didn't wait for Wu Qing to react, so he dialed a number.
The phone was quickly connected, Wu Yuanan whispered a few words, hung up the phone and said to Wu Qing and Gao Zheng: "The elders and the people of the Zhiwu Hall have withdrawn from the middle building, we can go up to the council hall and go out from there." β
Wu Qing glanced at Wu Yuanan puzzled, and said suspiciously: "Dad, who did you just call?" How did he know that those people had withdrawn? β
The voice on the phone was not loud, and Wu Qing could only hear that it was a man talking, but she couldn't hear whose voice it was.
At this time, Gao Zheng suddenly remembered that Wu Yuanan had told him before that as long as he lasted about half an hour, reinforcements would arrive. Then Wu Yuanan's phone call just now should have been made to reinforcements.
Thinking of this, Gao Zheng answered Wu Qing's questions for Wu Yuan'an, and briefly explained the situation.
Wu Qing didn't ask much, and Gao Zhengyi helped Wu Yuanan to enter the elevator from left to right, and returned to the No. 3 lounge next to the conference hall through the escape shaft.
It was already afternoon, and the golden sunlight was shining through the window, and several people had a feeling of escaping and rejoicing for the rest of their lives.
The tempered doors outside the doors and windows had all been retracted, and the council hall was empty, and there was a strong smell of blood.
Gao Zheng didn't dare to be careless, walked around the break, and then looked around the periphery of the conference hall, but at the corner of the staircase, he bumped into a person.
The man's mouth was wide open, and there was a "grunting" sound in his throat, and he subconsciously pounced on Gao Zheng.
