Chapter 166: The Power of Healing
Three days later, Future Sukarana finally got free and decided to take Sultith to the eastern part of the forest in search of the Streamers. But when it was time to set out, there were many more people, in addition to the six curious messengers, they were accompanied by Yan Shu and Sang Wu, a total of nine people.
After the population of Jianing City grew, the streamers gradually moved eastward, and the number of streamers who gathered in the Devil's Forest gradually increased, so now they have moved to the east coast, farther away from Jianing City. The eastern mountains and forests are much more rugged than elsewhere, and it is not convenient to carry beasts with them, so you can only walk them, and it takes about a day to reach them. Therefore, it is essential to carry enough food with you when you set off.
"Do you go there often?" asked Muchi.
"No, I haven't seen them since the end of the war at the beginning of the year. We haven't crossed the eastern woods yet, so we don't know exactly how far they migrated, but the end of the forest is the east coast, and that's where it goes. Future replied.
"Haven't you been?
"Don't worry," Mirai said, pointing ahead, "do you see that stream?"
"Hmm. Murch nodded, the creek was only a dozen steps away from them, and it was not difficult to make out even in the thick fog.
"As long as we keep walking along the creek, we're sure we'll find them. "Actually, the creek used to be a wide river in the past, and it was the only river in the forest that flowed through Jianing City, and its exit was probably on the east coast, so you can find the streamers by following the stream." ”
"How could the creek, which used to be wide, become so narrow and shallow?" said Murge, surprised. Knee-deep and arm-wide, it's hard to imagine that it used to be a wide channel.
Hearing this, Yan Shu next to him smiled and said, "Heh, in fact, we are just speculating, after hundreds of years of changes, anything can happen, isn't it?"
"On what basis?" asked Kairas, who couldn't help but interject, unable to ignore the question at hand.
"You've all seen the statues in the palace garden, right?" Yan Shu asked.
"Of course I've seen the stone mountain statues in the garden, but does it have anything to do with this stream?"
"Yes, I heard my father mention that there were no rocky mountains there before. About 450 years ago, in the early days of the founding of the Kiri, the Kiri-Naruto people transported the boulder from the east coast to Jianing Castle, although for some reason, the story was not carved on the stone mountain. Yan Shu continued to recall, "It is not easy to transport such a large stone from the east coast to Jianing City. So, we speculate that four or five hundred years ago, this creek may have been a wide river, and it was probably like this that the ancient Kiri Naruto was able to smoothly transport the boulders from the east coast to Jianin Castle, right?"
That seems to make sense. Kailas nodded, then wondered, "But you haven't made it through the forest to the East Coast, how can you be sure we're not wrong?"
"It's true that I'm not completely sure, but streamers like to live in places where there are mountains and rivers, so it's generally not wrong to follow the waterway. Yan Shu said with a smile.
"I see!" said Kairas.
After walking for a while in the mountains and forests, the envoys realized that the meaning of "arriving in one day" in the future was to travel almost non-stop. At the same time, they couldn't help but admire the physical strength of Future, Sang Wu and Yan Xuan. If they hadn't offered a pause, the three men would have seemed to have been on their way tirelessly.
Finally, when it was time to rest, everyone sat by the river to eat and replenish their strength, and Mu Qi finally couldn't help but ask, "Don't you all feel tired?"
As perennial marchers, Murch and Noro had no shortage of opportunities to trek long distances, and although they were confident in their physical strength, they would inevitably feel short of breath after running on a mountain trail like this for half a day on their feet, and it was impossible to say that they were not tired at all. Kailath and Gary were fine, too, but looking at Rhodes and Quertis at the back of the line, you can see how tired they really are.
After being reminded by Mu Qi, the three Jianing people suddenly realized that this way of rushing was indeed too hard for others. Mirai Sukarlana couldn't help but say apologetically: "Sorry, we're used to it, and before we know it, we forget that others may not be used to this way of traveling. ”
"Got used to it?" Noro looked into the future in surprise.
"Well," Mirai said, taking a sip of water as he tilted his head, "we've traveled a long way together before, and we've grown accustomed to each other's paces. After settling down in Jianing City, I didn't dare to slack off easily in my physical training, after all, there were only a few of us who could protect this forest earlier...... Day after day, the body gets used to this rhythm, and as long as the will does not fall, the body will not get tired easily. ”
The reason why the three of them are so easy in the future is because they once rushed with the streamers, and relatively speaking, the pace of the streamers is more difficult to catch up. But the messengers were shocked: how strong of will it would take?
"Can I do that too?" asked Murch immediately with gusto.
"Just learn to use the power of the soul. Future replied.
"The power of the soul?" Murch was puzzled.
"Well, by consciously cultivating, people can acquire a lot of special skills. As long as you continue to desire to be strong in the depths of your soul and move your body at will, you will naturally become stronger. Future said. Now he knows how to think calmly, gradually understands many things, and is no longer as ignorant and arbitrary as in the past.
Hearing this, Mu Qi and Noro couldn't help but glance at each other, and found that the other party was the same as himself, and he was also trying his best to think about the answer. Immediately, Mu Qi said to the future: "Actually, when I watched the battle with Noro on the edge of the battlefield at the beginning of the year, I saw you standing on the pile of weapon wreckage from a distance, and I was very eager to fight you at that time, so I thought that I must find a chance to fight with you this time in the Devil's Forest, but ......" Speaking of this, Mu Qi suddenly stopped and looked thoughtfully at the future.
Seeing this, the future couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and a very faint smile appeared on his face, not complacent, but honest: "I'm afraid you won't be able to win me now." ”
"yes, I'm already aware of it...... I wasn't sure before, but now I understand. "Still, I'd like to give it a try." Because I'm curious to know, if you use all your strength, how far am I to go?"
"Of course, no problem! When we get back to Jianing City, we can give it a try. Future agreed. He admired Muki's upright character, and thought that if he could discover his latent powers, he would be able to climb to a higher level, and he was happy to help.
After a short break, they continued on their way. Considering the stamina of Titis and Rod, Future, Yanshu, and Sangwu all consciously slowed down so that they could all keep up with the team.
On a rough downhill road, a tired Titis accidentally stepped on a loose rock and fell unexpectedly. Fortunately, Sang Wu next to him reacted quickly, jumped over in a few steps and grabbed him, but the weight of the two made it difficult for them to stop on the rugged slope, and they couldn't help but roll down the hill.
Seeing this, the others hurried down to investigate. Fortunately, Sultius was protected by Sang Wu in time, but he only scratched a little skin. But Sang Wu was not so lucky, his body rolled over the sharp stones almost the whole time, and there were many wounds on his arms and calves.
"Oh no, there's a lot of blood, we have to stop it. Rod, who was a healer, couldn't help but become anxious and quickly turned over his baggage. Just in case, he took some emergency medicine with him when he set off in the morning, but he didn't expect to actually use it.
I didn't want Sang Wudu to stand up casually, patted the dust and dead leaves on his body, and said indifferently: "It's okay, it will be fine naturally." Let's keep going, or it won't be dark and we won't be able to walk. ”
"No, no, the mountain is foggy and damp, and if such a deep wound is not properly dressed, it will be easily infected. Worried, Rhodes insisted on sprinkling some powder on Sango's wounds. Sorrow was very reluctant to go, and also persuaded Sang Wu to rest first before leaving, and the rest of the envoys also thought that it was okay to be later.
Sang Wu had no choice but to look to the future and Yan Shu, and asked them for help with his eyes. The future will understand, and then explain to him: "Don't worry too much, this injury is actually nothing to Sang Wu, it will be fine soon, and we can continue to hurry." ”
"But ......" Rhodes was still not at ease, as a healer, he knew very well that if he continued to rush as before, those few deep wounds that could be seen would be more difficult to heal, and maybe he would bleed all the way.
"Heh, if he says it's okay, then it's definitely fine, don't worry. Yan Shu also hurried to help.
Even Yan Shu said this, and although several envoys were still a little hesitant, they had no choice but to give up persuasion and follow them on. It was just past noon, and there was still about half a day's trip, and the envoys were secretly mentally prepared to rush to the night, and once Sang Wu's injury changed, they would immediately stop and rest.
However, the worries of the envoys were unnecessary, and in the following trip, Sang Wu had no intention of resting at all, and the speed of his journey had hardly changed compared to the morning. It wasn't until Future, who was walking in the forefront, turned back by chance and found that Rod and Tis in the back looked a little powerless, that he suggested that everyone take a break and leave.
Rod and Tis had been worried about Sang Wu's injury, and hurried over to take a look at it during the break. Unexpectedly, in less than half a day, the flesh wounds that were clearly visible before were already showing signs of closing! Although Rhodes was very confident in his medicine, he also knew that these emergency drugs could only stop bleeding and prevent infection at most, and they were far from achieving the effect of rapid healing.
"This, this wound ......" Rhodes first looked at the wound on Sang Wu's arm, and then looked at the wound on his leg in disbelief, he was already speechless in surprise, he had never seen someone with such a strong self-healing ability.
"It's too fast!" exclaimed Otis, who would not have believed it if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes.
"Wow, no wonder you're not worried, it really doesn't matter. Mu Qi put his hand on Sang Wu's shoulder and asked curiously, "I have also used Rhodes's medicine, and it is indeed very good, but it has not yet achieved such a miraculous effect." Tell me, how did you do that?"
"Heh, it's not a big deal, I'm just used to getting hurt. Sang smiled casually.
"Accustomed to getting hurt?" Rod looked up at Sangaku in confusion.
"Well, I've been hurt a lot before, and it's much worse than that, and I didn't die at that time, so I don't need to worry about this injury, because I know it's always going to heal. Sang Wu was unimpressed.
Hearing this, several envoys were full of confusion, but Noro asked thoughtfully, "When you desire to be strong, you will naturally be strong...... Is that the truth?"
I don't think he has already remembered everything he said before in the future, and he can even think of it, Sang can't help but admire. It seems that this famous nobleman should not be underestimated, and if he answers perfunctorily, I am afraid that it will insult his wisdom. So, Sang Wu immediately restrained his casual look and replied seriously: "Well, you are right, this is indeed the truth. ”
Noro then asked, "The reason why the wounds heal so quickly is because you are so sure in your heart that these wounds will not hurt you much, and you are sure that you will soon get better, just as the future said earlier, your body is accustomed to the dictation of the will, right?"
Sang Wu couldn't help but nod in admiration again, and said in his heart that this nobleman is really not simple!
"Can I ask another question?" This time, there seemed to be a hint of uncertainty in Noro's tone, but not the uncertainty of the answer just now, but the uncertainty of whether they would be willing to give an answer to the next question.
"What's the problem?" asked Sang Wu.
Actually, I privately think that this is not a healing method that ordinary people's wisdom can understand and use with ease. Noro carefully observed Sango's expression and continued to ask, "How did you do it, or rather, how did you learn it?"
The nobleman's question was to the point, but it was not easy to answer, and Sang looked to the future. Unexpectedly, there was no psychological struggle in the future, and he generously took over the question and said: "Actually, there is nothing that can't be said, the reason why Sang Wu hesitated is probably because he doesn't know your true opinion of the streamer people, because this has a lot to do with the streamer people." However, I think that since you are here is enough to prove that you have your own unique perspective on things, you should not be people who follow the crowd......"
Seeing that they all nodded in unison, Future went on to explain: "Because of some chances, several of us have received more or less the favor of the streamers, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a life-saving grace. But I came into contact with the streamers a little earlier than a few of them. The decision to settle in the Devil's Forest was largely due to the fact that the Streamers lived here, after all, we were too weak to gain a foothold. Earlier, we followed the streamer people all the way from north to south, and during the long journey, we learned a lot from the streamers, including how to improve their own strength and self-healing ability. When Sang Wuzeng's fate was hanging by a thread, he relied on his tenacious will and superhuman perception to find a way to live for himself, but at that time, that was already his limit. The self-healing power that he has now demonstrated, which you see as 'wielding', was actually acquired in the process of self-reinforcement that followed. Although they are all abilities learned from the streamers, we are still far from being able to use them freely. ”
"It turns out that there is such an experience, no wonder you know so much about the streamers. Murch asked curiously, "But don't those streamers care, and let you study all the way for so long?"
"No, the Streamer is not what is rumored in the world, if you have ever gotten along with the Streamer, you will naturally understand. Future replied.
"Well, that's right! And no matter what question you ask the streamers, they will answer truthfully, and there are almost no taboos. Sultius chimed in, and Gary beside him nodded. Because the two of them had traveled together, they had a brief time with the Streamer Clan's Celestial Lotus in Mount Morari.
"Actually, what if we were told?" sighed Future.
Noro seemed to understand what he was feeling, and he couldn't help but sigh regretfully: "If our soldiers learn to use this ability, they will be invincible on the battlefield." It's a pity that knowing and doing are two different things, which is still unattainable for many people. You're right, but what if you tell us?"
Hearing this, Rod couldn't help but have mixed feelings. At first they were talking about treatment, but in the end it went completely beyond the realm of medicine. Rhodes was struck by this kind of healing, which eliminated medicine but was more effective in addressing the patient's pain. Before that, he had never known that there was a more miraculous healing method than medical skills, and he would never have believed it unless he had seen it with his own eyes. At the same time, it also made him deeply aware that this is a power that he has been unable to reach for the rest of his life. But why is it that some people are able to attain that power, while others are out of reach? Is it just a matter of comprehension? I am afraid that it is much more than that......
