Chapter 70: The Flesh of Eternal Life

When Gu Chuan woke up again, it was in a hazy red light.

It took him a moment to realize that this was not the afterlife, but that there was a reddish-yellow flame burning silently in front of him. Dead wood branches that had been picked up from nowhere crackled under the flames, and wisps of smoke rose from the ceiling.

Outside, the familiar roar of a storm was heard, and the vines and leaves leaning against the exit swayed. The rain star was sent to his face by the wind, and he was cold, realizing that he was in some cave he didn't know about.

"I was saved."

Gu Chuan thought.

"I'm not dead yet...... Or maybe dying, but at least alive for now. ”

He wasn't in a hurry to get up...... In fact, he found that he didn't have the strength to get himself up.

He could only maintain his original position, feeling that he was lying on a small mat that might have been made of grass. His eyes rolled slowly, and he saw a hazy shadow that he was familiar with sitting across the flames.

The shadow's hands were holding up clothes that belonged to many wet clothes that were familiar to Gu Chuan. There were still a few pieces of these clothes that belonged to him, and after a while they were turned to the front, and then to the back, Gu Chuan realized that the shadow wanted to dry these wet clothes with fire.

The clothes of the two were thus covered with an ambiguous red light, and when the clothes were removed from the fire, the shadows stood up, and the dim fluorescence on their faces made the changes of the shadows even more intricate. She's going to fetch something else to bake. In this moment, the graceful posture and graceful lines that belong only to girls are very obvious in the reflection of fire and fire. And a kind of white skin like ice and snow, because of the light of the flames, revealed a beautiful rose red, like the color of a pure plum blossom in winter, and for a time dazzled the eyes of the young man.

She didn't seem to realize what she was doing, she just made a fire here, and showed her body to the fire, trying to dry her body. She would occasionally raise her hand, and all the flies, scorpions, centipedes, and other species that approached her were killed, and she threw them into the fire to become fuel.

The cave is deep and quiet, and the wind and rain are still blowing outside the cave.

She is Hatsuyun.

"Hatsukumo ......"

He thought.

Obviously, it was before he fell unconscious that Hatsuyun followed the light of the Celestial Mirror to find him. This is also the reason why Gu Chuan went to the open area before...... The mirror will be a beacon of indication.

Since Hatsuyun is here, then he was saved by Hatsuun. Gu Chuan, who understood this, suddenly relaxed. An indescribable sense of security from the bottom of his heart made him not want to think about anything else at all at this time. The flames warmed his body, and he lay there, as if he had regained the joy of lying in bed in winter, and he did not want to move.

Only the eyes were half-asleep and half-awake, and they unconsciously turned to the first clouds behind the firelight.

It was a beauty like no other in the world.

Hatsuun's body is not delicate, nor is it particularly strong or rough, she has a kind of just the right amount of plumpness. The neck is stretched, and the quality is exposed, like a figure in a painting. Somehow, Gu Chuan at that time believed that Chu Yun was the one who was made.

For assuming that this is not human intervention, the brutal nature will never be able to produce such an impeccable type according to human aesthetics.

It's just that for Chu Yun, he is thinking that this kind of manufacturing and intervention may not be something she likes.

The young man was unconsciously engrossed, and his face burned red. He didn't know if it was the first time in his life that he had a premonition of love, or if the after-effects of illness and disability had made him have a deathly fever from face to head.

He only saw the first cloud on the other side of the fire, and dried the newly baked clothes again. The shadow of the change of clothes changed for a while, and Gu Chuan suddenly felt ashamed of his peeping, and hurriedly wanted to turn around and ignore it.

Just as soon as the body moved, the originally chaotic pain suddenly became clear. His skin was instantly extremely cold, his whole body was drenched in cold sweat, and the pain of a foreign body invading his abdomen made him unbearably clumped, and his breathing became rapid at the same time, as if the blood in his veins was burning.

He instinctively opened his mouth and spit out, and a mouthful of blood of indescribable color like sludge and tumor came out of his mouth.

It is a sick product of infection and proliferation by strange bacteria that exist in the mountains.

The light of the fire mirrored the change in his form as a shadow. The young man's shadow flickered in Hatsuun's gaze.

Chu Yun suddenly came back to his senses from his dazed thoughts, and hurriedly said:

"You're awake! Don't move......"

The girl got up, walked to Gu Chuan's side, and used her soft hands to help Gu Chuan lie down again.

The hands were as cool as the clean snow water that melted at the beginning of spring, caressing Gu Chuan's wounds. There was a tingling sensation from the wound that had been touched, and the young man gasped for a few breaths.

"You can't move yet...... You're in a very dangerous situation, and I don't know what you're going to do next...... I need to explain your situation to you in detail right now! ”

Chu Yun said.

Gu Chuan knew that Chu Yun had a wealth of medical knowledge due to the Heavenly Punishment.

But on the other hand, Chu Yun, who has been locked in the deep palace for a long time, may not have anyone's genetic memory, and the only chance to come out is to pass the word under the crown may not have common sense in the world.

This lack of common sense is manifested not only in her lack of ordinary people's fear of insects - the fear of insects itself is a concept of self-protection gradually formed by human beings from genes to growth experience - but also in another kind of frankness that seems extremely peculiar to ordinary people.

Thus, in the firelight, the trembling shadows were even more hazy.

He wanted to turn around a little again, but he still remembered Hatsukumo's words, and he didn't dare to move anymore like a child who had done something wrong. It made him feel a little better, and he felt like he had gone from a state of near-tearing back to the groggy and hallucinatory state he had before he died. Then, Gu Chuan turned his head sideways and said to Chu Yun:

"Chuyun, put on your clothes quickly!"

Hatsuyun blinked, not quite understanding.

She still said seriously:

"Your current situation is very strange, and strange means very dangerous! I need to explain to you about what I did to you......"

Who knew that the young man opened his beautiful black eyes and looked at Chu Yun's face sincerely:

"It's okay, I believe everything you do now, I can't move now, everything is left to you...... At this point, what else can I dare not believe you and doubt you? ”

"I'm going to tell you......"

In Chu Yun's thinking, the most important thing is life first, and if you don't even care about life, then it is really possible to do anything stupid!

But Gu Chuan repeated her request aloud, making her feel that this person was starting to be strange and stupid again.

People are always weird.

Hatsuyun thought. She didn't continue to argue with Gu Chuan, but obediently put on her bottom clothes.

This set of clothes was given to her by Gu Chuan's mother before leaving.

"You can't be naked, especially in a strange place and in front of a stranger...... It's called shame, and it's protecting yourself......"

Then, in a daze of fever, Gu Chuan uttered these words with traditional moral implications based on a strange and exclusive feeling, like a defender he hated.

“…… I got it, I remembered. ”

Mrs. Hatsuun Xuewei said in a childlike tone.

Then Chu Yun asked:

"Next, can I tell you what happened to you?"

"Hmm...... Yes, thank you. ”

Gu Chuan replied in a low voice.

Chu Yun sat down, on the same side of the fire as Gu Chuan. The fire still crackled, the smoke still rose into the sky, and their shadows lined up behind them.

She clearly began to explain the process of discovering Gu Chuan, her diagnosis of Gu Chuan, and her use of a sewing needle to pick the wound and directly observe Gu Chuan's internal organs and emergency treatment. This kind of brutal method from Sunset City Medicine made Gu Chuan's heart tremble, but he also recognized it.

Everything that is done in the case of ten deaths is worthwhile. But the question turned into how Chu Yun saved Gu Chuan.

Then Hatsuun spoke of the mysterious passages in the cracks of the mountain, of the wonderfully huge bone-like fossils, each of which was larger than Hatsuyun himself, and of the salt mines underneath, pure crystals that reflected light like mirrors or ice cubes.

When Hatsuyun talked about the ice, his eyes were bright.

What she said made Gu Chuan look sideways.

In his previous life, Gu Chuan had heard of many fossils that had been recreated due to heavy rains and landslides. And before he passed out, there were bare fossils of creatures on the ground, and it was a well-preserved historical hidden place.

Now it has led to a terrifying unknown beast to inhabit and make a landslide, and it is common to discover any ancient secrets.

Daling Mountain Range, the original meaning of Ling is actually the meaning of Datu Mountain, endless soil...... But now it seems that it is not only Tushan, this is really a mausoleum of ancient creatures.

"The formation of mountains, caves, caverns, crevices, is assumed to be natural...... Then it must have gone through endless years, through the movement of geological plates, and the erosion of flowing water. ”

Gu Chuan thought of his shallow knowledge of high school geography and spoke up to himself.

Chu Yun didn't understand:

"Is it like the cave you used to talk about?"

"I guess so."

Gu Chuan said.

Or is it still a bored creator who carves out the infinite details of stalactites and rock walls one by one?

It's not impossible. But this possibility, along with the possibility that the person and the person's memory were created three minutes ago, seems to be about the same, and it means that everything is made.

Then, Hatsuun talked about the suspected immortal flesh leaning against the rock on top.

Now, Gu Chuan is not sideways.

He instinctively shrunk his body, already vaguely guessing what Hatsuyun was going to say next.

Sure enough, Chu Yun said:

"I noticed something special in that piece of meat...... This curiosity may be the reason why the meat was always there. Therefore, I sewed that strange object into the wound on your right abdomen, and made a mending punishment according to the practice of mending the heavenly punishment in my memory. ”

It was a horrific operation.

Chu Yun removed Gu Chuan's intestines, stuffed them into Gu Chuan's stomach, and used that strange object to suture Gu Chuan's broken liver upwards and the problematic kidney downwards.

She had no medical experience or equipment, relying solely on the infinite dexterity of her fingers that had been modified by strange objects.

Finally, she used threads to suture the wounds on the front and back of Gu Chuan's body.

"After that, I noticed that your breathing was steady, but not smooth. I think it's because the air is not good, the smoke is sinking so badly that it's impossible to breathe. The water outside just happened to be no longer overflowing, so I moved you up again. Gave you some water and something to eat. ”

Gu Chuan gently stroked his abdomen.

The feeling of fire burning he finally knew where it came from.

Not from his heart, not from his mind...... Rather, it was a new "organ" from this abdomen, a strange thing embedded in his body that he did not know whether it would bring him life or death.

The liver is the organ responsible for the body's metabolism, and it is even responsible for hematopoiesis during the child's childhood, and it is not until the person's adulthood that the hematopoietic function is handed over to the bone marrow.

The kidneys are also important metabolic organs, responsible for maintaining the stability of the human environment. Fortunately, people have two kidneys, and even if one kidney is diseased, the other kidney can remain functional.

His head was extremely calm:

"Chu Yun, can you take me down to have a look?"

"Yes, but you have to hold back."

Gu Chuan couldn't move yet, Chu Yun wanted to carry him, and when he carried him, Gu Chuan would inevitably pull the muscles of his whole body and be crushed by terrible pain.

"Out of the way."

The young man said.

Then the girl carried the young man, who was temporarily weak, on her back and wrapped her arms around the young man's body.

The bodies of the two were so close to each other that they could hear each other's heartbeats along their skins, one with the sound of wind and rain, and the other as quiet as the splash of stalactites.

Hatsuun retook the path that seemed to be in the body of an ancient creature.

Along the way, Gu Chuan also saw traces of fossils embedded in the rock wall. Gu Chuan felt that it had indeed become difficult for him to breathe, he had already entered the depths of the earth, and the air was indeed not good.

Soon, he followed Hatsuyun around the corner. Then the crystals of pure and immaculate salt suddenly reflected the light of the heavenly mirror like a mirror, and the earth was infinitely clear. He was dazzled by the splendor of the natural abundance of crystalline salt mines. The more majestic veins of salt are also hidden behind these outcropping salts.

Chu Yun didn't care about the salt mine, he only raised his hand in the direction of the top, and Gu Chuan saw the abnormal piece of meat.

But that piece of meat is no longer as fresh and vibrant as Hatsuyun said. It didn't even get to the top of the salt mine, but it hung down in half, and it felt like it was about to break away from it.

Because there are very few bacteria in this space, the meat does not spoil, but only becomes stiff due to the cover of mineral salts, and with the natural flow of water and the occurrence of autolysis, it becomes dull and takes on a blackened red color.

Hatsuyun said that this was a huge difference from what she had seen before.

This may be due to the fact that the meat has lost its vitality as the internal curiosity has been removed.

"Can you take that piece of meat off and have a look?"

Hatsuun did so.

The piece of cured meat was easily taken down by her, and it was about to become food for the two of them.

And they also saw what was behind the flesh, which was indeed a fossil of the long, spine-like bones. There was also a small inward-facing bone spur emerging from the bone. Droplets of water came out of the bone spurs, and the droplets fell to the ground with a crisp splash.

That's water seeping down the crevices of the rocks on the top or in the soil along the crevices of the fossils.

"Chuyun, you're right...... This thing was originally a genuine curiosity stuck to the weathered, fossilized body of this huge creature. ”

It is also a genuine value, indelible after hundreds of millions of years, and the 'meat of eternal life'.

"And I feel like my body is really getting better...... The flesh of eternal life, this strange thing has worked. ”

Gu Chuan moved his fingers.

A fly that flew into the space with them landed on the finger and was crushed into complete powder.

"Now, I'm like you, haven't I?"

Gu Chuan laughed.

The girl's gaze met the young man's gaze head-on, and in this crystallized world of light, the veins were silent.

This pristine mountain must still hide many hidden secrets, and it is also a land that hides countless strange things, but Sunset City has never set foot in it.

It's a pity that they are only passing by in a hurry, and they are still on the way to escape, and they are destined not to dare to stay here for a long time.

When they returned to the entrance, they saw that the rain had already lightened outside.
