Chapter 18: Awakening
γGuiyuan City-Shangling Templeγ
Jiao Qi gradually woke up from the coma, only to feel that the stinging pain all over his body was unbearable, and nothing was normal from head to toe. He looked around www.biquge.info and found himself lying on his bed, surrounded by a completely unfamiliar environment. And Jiao Ba was lying beside him before he woke up, and the flames on his body continued to fluctuate with his breathing. Jiao Qi struggled to remember what had happened before he fell unconscious, only vaguely remembering that he lost consciousness when he evacuated with Mokpo after the explosion in Seven Birds City. As for why he and Jiao Ba were in a coma, and how they came here, Jiao Qi had no impression at all. Looking back now, at that time, Jiao Qi only felt that there was a heat in his body that came from nowhere and surged wildly, rushing straight to his brain, and his whole body was full of power, as if it was about to explode at any time, but after only a few seconds, he didn't know anything again.
He struggled to sit up, trying to see what this place was. The door was suddenly opened gently, and a little girl about the same age as Jiao Qi, wearing an aqua blue plain robe, walked in with a bowl of things. Jiao Qi was stunned on the bed, the first time he saw such a pure and lovely girl, it was like seeing an oasis in the desert.
The little girl only cared about putting the bowl of things on the coffee table in the living room, and didn't notice that Jiao Qi in the compartment had woken up, until she turned around and was about to leave, only to see Jiao Qi sitting on the bed in a demented state. The little girl hurriedly rushed out in a panic, Jiao Qi thought that he had scared the little girl, and reached out to stop her by talking, but he didn't know what to say. Looking at the back of the little girl who disappeared in a hurry, Jiao Qi had no choice but to take back the outstretched hand in frustration.
But things turned around, and after a while, the little girl followed the fifth old gentleman back to the room. After the fifth old gentleman entered the house, he didn't say a word, first checked Jiao Qi's pulse, and then turned around and asked the little girl to bring the medicine on the coffee table, and the fifth old gentleman personally fed Jiao Qi to drink. Jiao Qi didn't resist the whole time, and he didn't ask who the old man was, what he was drinking, and he was very well-behaved.
The fifth old gentleman said to Jiao Qi: "You can live here for the time being, your body is not in any serious condition, mainly because there are some symptoms of detachment, take a good rest, and there should be no problem with recuperation for half a month." β
After speaking, the fifth old gentleman saw that Jiao Qi did not respond, so he let him lie on the bed to rest, and then left the room with the little girl. There was only Jiao Qi and Jiao Ba who were lying side by side on the bed in the room, Jiao Qi turned his head to look at Jiao Ba, who still hadn't woken up, and felt very uncomfortable. Probably because of the medicine he had just drunk, not long after the fifth old gentleman left, Jiao Qi fell asleep again.
In the evening, the door was slammed open, Jiao Qi was awakened from his sleep, and Mu Pu rushed in directly and excitedly: "I heard that the fifth old gentleman said that you have woken up, hurry up and come to see you, how is it, do you feel okay?"
Jiao Qi just woke up, his head was still a little groggy, and when he saw that it was Mu Pu, he rubbed his eyes beside him and asked, "Who is the fifth old man?"
Mu Pu felt a little strange, and supported Jiao Qi's bedside with his right hand and said to him: "Why, haven't you seen the fifth old man until now, he is my teacher in the [Shangling Academy], this is his residence, and it has been his old man who has been taking care of you for the past few days." Then Mu Pu sneakily leaned over and whispered in Jiao Qi's ear: "He, like your master, is also a [Fire Envoy], ranking fifth. β
Jiao Qi couldn't react for a while, obviously Mu Pu was a member of the Mu Clan, why was he the apprentice of the [Fire Envoy]? He felt that this relationship was a bit complicated, and it was in the clouds.
Seeing that Jiao Qi still didn't quite understand, Mupu stopped talking to him about this and talked about it in Seven Bird City. Mu Pu raised his right hand, which was originally supported at the head of the bed, and suddenly slapped his palm on Jiao Qi's shoulder: "It was too thrilling to be in Seven Birds City that day, if I hadn't tried my best to do my best, we would have to explain there." β
Mu Pu's slap was not light, and the tears that Jiao Qi, who was already stinging, almost fell from his tears, but Jiao Qiqiang endured it so that he didn't cry.
Mu Pu didn't notice Jiao Qi's painful expression just now, and still chattered with interest: "I don't know if you remember?" Mu Pu paused slightly and glanced at Jiao Qi, Jiao Qi had just recovered from the pain and looked at Mu Pu with a look of lovelessness. Seeing that he didn't react, Mu Pu seemed to be at a loss, waved his hand and continued: "It's okay, even if you don't remember, I won't forget it in my life." I was preparing to evacuate from Seven Birds City with the two of you, and I was about to reach the tower in the city, when a group of black-clothed men suddenly appeared out of nowhere, who didn't care about anything, and were going to kill us as soon as they came up. I looked back and saw that you and Jiao Ba were both unconscious, and I thought, 'It seems that I am the only one who is on my own this time.'" So I took out all kinds of housekeeping skills, on the one hand, to block their offensive, and on the other hand, to protect your safety, one person insisted on entangled with a group of them for a long time. β
Jiao Qi really didn't remember anything at all, but after listening to Mu Pu's description, he felt that he was very powerful, and he couldn't help but admire: "Are you fighting with a group of them alone?"
Mu Pu's face was not red and his heart was not beating, and he passed Jiao Qi's questions: "Almost, these are not the point, you listen to me and continue." β
In fact, all Jiao Qi was thinking about at this moment was the lovely girl he saw at noon, Mu Pu was chattering in his ear for a long time, he was simply in his left ear and out of his right ear, just listening to a rough idea. But out of friendship, Jiao Qi still symbolically perfunctory him: "Well, what about later?"
As if waiting for this sentence, Mupu hurriedly continued: "Later, then it was me who fought the enemy for 300 rounds. Those men in black are full of some insidious and vicious moves, and I fought with them and fell into disadvantage unconsciously, just when I thought it was going to be over, you and Jiao Ba woke up at some point. Jiao Ba pounced from behind me, good fellow, its size was completely different from usual, strong as a bear. And you kid, you used to pretend to be there with me, saying that I am not an apprentice of the Fire Messenger, and I don't know anything. I turned my head to look, there were swirling flames under your feet, the whole person floated in mid-air, and with a wave of your hand, it was a fireball, like crazy, one after another kept throwing towards the man in black, and the man in black was almost blown into ashes by you, and I was dumbfounded. β
"I?flick the fireballs?one after another?" Jiao Qi couldn't imagine what kind of picture it was. After engaging in Mu Pu for a long time, the hero of the story turned out to be himself in the end, Jiao Qi's mind was unconsciously pulled back by him, and he secretly wondered in his heart, "Am I really a martial arts wizard who is rare to see in a hundred years?"
Mokpo looked like he took it for granted: "Yes, in fact, I didn't believe myself when I heard what I said, but I was next to you at the time, and I could see it clearly." β
"Then I killed the man in black in the end?" Although Jiao Qi was still asking Mu Pu on his lips, he had actually decided in his heart that he had killed the man in black robe, and he felt quite a sense of accomplishment, but he didn't show it on the surface.
"Not really, and then he ran away. "Mokpo's story suddenly took another turn.
"Ran? How could a good person run? Isn't he about to be smashed into ashes by a fireball?" Jiao Qi didn't expect that his heroic dream would be shattered just at the beginning, and 10,000 grass and mud horses galloped past in his heart.
Mupu was about to continue, but the fifth old gentleman walked in from outside the house with a bowl of medicine, and Mupu hurriedly turned off the chatter mode and stood aside honestly.
Jiao Qi saw that the fifth old gentleman had entered the house, and quietly went back again, looking behind the fifth old gentleman, but this time the little girl did not follow, only the fifth old gentleman was alone. The fifth old gentleman handed the medicine to Mu Pu, and he checked Jiao Qi's pulse again, and it seemed to be the same as noon, and there was no change. So he said to Mupu: "You have fed his medicine to Mupu in a while, he needs to recuperate now, you can talk with him for a while, go back early, let him rest more." Although your own injury is not as serious as his, it is still a sick number, so you should pay more attention to rest. β
Mu Pu stood behind the fifth old gentleman and held Jiao Qi's medicine, and he should claim that it was, but he secretly made a grimace behind the back of the fifth old gentleman, and looked at Jiao Qi proudly, but found that Jiao Qi's face was a little strange.
The fifth old gentleman left the room after chattering. As soon as the fifth old gentleman left with his front foot, Mu Pu was about to continue blowing with Jiao Qi as he had just said, but Jiao Qi suddenly struggled to get up from the bed. Mu Pu didn't know what he was trying to do, so he hurriedly put the medicine in his hand aside, hurriedly ran over to help him, and said with concern: "Oh, you slow down, the fifth old gentleman just said that you need to recuperate, you pay attention to yourself, you are twisting and twisting like an earthworm, what are you going to do." β
Jiao Qi refused to say whether he was alive or dead, and Mu Pu went to help him, but he was not very happy. Jiao Qi was in pain all over, and it was really difficult for him to move alone. Just a small action of getting up, Mu Pu helped him, Jiao Qi spent several minutes, and his face was red. After getting out of bed, Jiao Qi was about to go out, and Mu Pu saw that he was limping because of the pain, and his walking posture was indescribably funny. But he wanted to step forward and support him, but he refused. Mokpo couldn't resist him, so he let him go out alone, thinking that anyway, in his current situation, he couldn't run anywhere if he wanted to, so he couldn't grow a pair of wings out of thin air and fly out.
Jiao Qi had just gone out of the door, and he turned back again, his face was even redder than just now, his legs trembled uncontrollably, and he finally opened his mouth to ask Mupu, "Where is the toilet?" I can't hold it anymore, take me there." β
