Chapter 149: The Sleeper

Snow.

It is a landmark that has stood in this part of the world since I don't know when.

It is said that the birth of this snow-capped mountain came from the cataclysm, when the world experienced a similar drought as it does today, and people struggled with drought and pollution.

And a certain unknown and incomprehensible being, after seeing this scene, shed his own blood and tears. The crimson blood fell to the earth, giving birth to countless crops, driving away many polluting creatures, and rediscovering their homes for humanity.

And the snowy mountains are the product of the clotting of that person's blood.

"So, this is the story of Snow Mountain."

In front of Qi Lu and the puppet, a young boy held his arms with both hands and said slowly.

Just now, he told the legend of this snow-capped mountain to these two "tourists".

Listening to his story, Qi Lu smiled: "Is this true?" ”

He wanted to tease the kid a little, so he asked him this question.

The child they saw when they were about to arrive at the snowy mountains, and they had been farming in the fields and looked busy.

After Qi Lu asked about the Snow Mountain, the kid stood up, gave him a casual look, and asked if the two needed a guide.

According to this child, the snow-capped mountains are very difficult to walk.

After thinking for a while, Qi Lu and the others decided to hire this child as a guide.

They are very unfamiliar with this snow-capped mountain, and they really need someone to show them the way.

And now, they are heading in the direction of the snow-capped mountains.

In order to relieve their boredom, the little boy casually talked about the rumors about the snowy mountains.

Qi Lu himself didn't know the content of these rumors, but he always had the idea of teasing him when he looked at this person's little ghost.

After hearing his question.

The little boy's footsteps paused slightly.

Then he turned his head: "It's true." ”

The little boy's eyes were deep: "It's true. ”

He repeated it again.

Such a look made Qi Lu a little surprised.

I don't know why, at this moment, Qi Lu felt that this child's aura seemed to have changed slightly.

It was as if the mirror had been wiped off the dust from the outside, and there was a flash of brilliance for a moment.

But soon all that was quiet again.

It didn't take long for the child in front of him to smile and say, "After all, it's a legend, there is always a prototype, I said this is really what it means!" ”

Soon, the little boy forcibly diverted from the topic.

Pointing to the snow-capped mountain in front of him, his words suddenly became mysterious: "And you must know that this is the snow-capped mountain that once descended from the 'Medical Saint'!" ”

Here it comes.

Hearing the child's voice, Qi Lu and the puppet both perked up.

And the little boy clearly knew what the two were expecting.

He looked up and down: "Looking at your appearance, you should also be chasing that legend, right?" It is said that there were traces of a medical saint in the snow-capped mountains, and if you are lucky, you may be able to meet a saint! ”

"And you hired me, a villager under the snowy mountain, I'm afraid you have a similar idea!"

The little boy laughed twice: "I know it all!" I've received tourists like you many times! ”

Hearing this, Qi Lu raised his eyebrows slightly.

He straightened up, and the puppet next to him hurriedly supported him: "Are there many people who come to the snowy mountain?" ”

The little boy thought for a moment and replied, "A lot, there are more than two hands every year." ”

"But they probably belonged to different teams, some were dressed in black, and some looked fierce. Oh yes, and there are some people who seem to be very knowledgeable, but lately they have been coming less often. ”

Scratching his head, the little boy shrugged his shoulders: "It seems to be called an academy, but when they come, they often help us here, so the people in the village like them more." I don't really like those who wear black clothes and call 'Dawn', those people are very fierce. ”

Listening to the child's babbling explanation, Qi Lu had a certain understanding of this place.

Obviously, as those people on the mountain peak said before, this snow-capped mountain with the traces of the medical saint is indeed very well-known.

Moreover, those guys certainly didn't find the healer.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have come in waves.

"So, is there really a medical saint here?" Qi Lu asked.

The little boy spread his hands: "Who knows? Anyway my mom, my mom's mom, mom's mom's mom...... That's what they all say. ”

"They also said that the medical saint came from their village and showed an extraordinary side from a very young age. Anyway, those big guys must have something special, and they say that he has a mirror that can light up the world or something. ”

"But if you want to say the most powerful, of course, it has to be his medical skills! After all, he is a saint who can be named "healer", and he has treated other saints! ”

While leading the two of them, the little boy said, "Moreover, if your goal is to come to the doctor to see a doctor, then you have come to the right place!" You must know that there are many medical halls at the foot of the snow-capped mountains, and there are many powerful doctors in them! Even if you can't find a doctor, you can be cured by spending some money there! ”

Qi Lu and the puppet glanced at each other, and at the same time saw surprise in each other's eyes.

It was a bonus.

But think about it, since it is a place where the medical saint once left traces, it is not impossible for the medical Tao to prosper here.

I just don't know if the medical saint of this world can treat the pollution from the radiation monitor lizard?

After a moment of silence, the puppet hugged Qi Lu: "Let's go to the medical hall first." ”

The puppet stared at the wound on Qi Lu's body: "After all, the medical saint is illusory, so it should be regarded as the last plan." ”

Qi Lu had no objection to this.

He just looked at the puppet gently, trying to reach out, but finally let it go. Just leaning on the puppet's body, the two of them supported each other forward.

The little boy in front of them rolled his eyes.

"Then I'll take you to the bottom of the snowy mountains?" He strode forward, "Oh yes, if you want to go up the snowy mountains, you can also find me." It's just that I have to charge extra for the journey, if I'm lucky......"

The little boy smiled at the two men: "I might be able to take you to see the 'mystery spot'!" ”

After saying this, he turned around and happily led the two people to the foot of the snowy mountain.

After passing a few intersections, the boy led the two to a complex.

The building here looks quite lively, with a lot of people in white coats hurrying around, and some guys with wounds on their bodies standing in the doorway with a sullen expression.

The little boy pushed the two people forward: "This is it~ If you want to see a doctor, just go in." The reception at the door will take you to the corresponding department! ”

The two people who were pushed forward by him smiled helplessly.

They looked at each other and then turned their heads.

"What's your name?"

Qi Lu bent down and asked, "We may hire you to go to the Snow Mountain in the future, so I want to ask for your name, so I can find it when the time comes." ”

Listening to Qi Lu's question, the corners of the little boy's mouth hooked slightly.

"Colin," he said, "my name is Colin." If you want to find me, just go inside and ask for the name of the 'nurse'! ”

"Then I'll go home first!"

Colin said, putting his hands behind his back: "Oops, the grass hasn't been pulled out yet, tsk, there's still a lot to do!" ”

Look at the back of Colin leaving.

Qi Lu shrugged.

"It's such a funny little friend," he said, "but he looks cute, but his actions and words and actions always give people the feeling of being old, but sometimes they seem innocent and cute." ”

I don't know why this kid named Colin always gives Qi Lu a very conflicted feeling.

Sometimes it's like an adult, but sometimes it's like a child.

When it matures, it looks mysterious, but when it is naΓ―ve, there is no disguise at all.

If it weren't for the weak pollution he felt from the other party, Qi Lu would have thought that Colin had deliberately disguised himself as a child to approach them.

The puppet also said, "I feel that the pollution on his body is very messy." ”

Looking at the direction Colin was far away, the puppet's voice was very soft: "His body is very weak, probably born with a very troublesome nature, and that kind of physique may even be in danger of dying in other people." ”

Because the puppets are stronger and not human, they look at things more towards pollution.

And from this Colin's body, the puppet only felt that his strength was very ...... Special.

It's like something that was originally pure has been contaminated with something, and the whole thing looks very disordered.

And this situation generally only occurs in two kinds of people.

One is a baby who experienced a serious illness in his infancy and almost died; On the other hand, there are transcendental beings who have received completely different, even violated, forbidden knowledge.

Only in this way can a body that is so twisted and chaotic that it has not yet completely collapsed can be created.

The golem lowered its eyes.

The former is easy to say.

But if it's the latter.

That means that the forbidden knowledge that the little boy in front of him has accepted is definitely very advanced.

That's not saint-level knowledge anymore.

but higher than the saints......

Great existence.

Because knowledge that contradicts the ordinary should be able to directly pollute and distort the transcendent.

Only higher-standard, higher-quality knowledge will be entangled with each other, not directly twisting the transcendent into twists, but in turn entangled and destroying his body.

"But if that's really the case."

The puppet retracted his gaze: "The endurance required is terrifying. ”

The harm caused by the original conflict of forbidden knowledge is enough to make ordinary transcendents feel that life is worse than death. Not to mention the two high-level knowledge, able to accept the distortion of these two kinds of knowledge.

I'm afraid that even saints are ashamed of their willpower.

With such thoughts.

The two men walked slowly into the infirmary.

It's not too small, but it's a bit crowded.

Obviously, the medical skills here are also famous. At least Qi Lu and the others saw a lot of other Federation people sitting on the bed, and then staring at something hanging from their arms.

"What's that?"

Qi Lu asked in surprise.

And next to him came a voice that said, "That's a hanging bottle!" ”

The two of them were startled by the coldness of the voice and hurriedly turned back.

Soon, they saw a woman in a pink dress looking at them with her hands on her hips.

"If you want to see a doctor, please go to the queue over there!"

The woman pointed into the distance: "Don't cause trouble for the 'nurses' here!" ”

Hearing this, Qi Lu realized that he didn't know when, and he seemed to have caused a blockage in the medical hall.

The nurses looked at him with some embarrassment, holding small white bottles and some sharp needles in their hands.

Looking at those needles, Qi Lu only felt creepy.

Do you mean to see a doctor here......

Need to use these things?

For no reason, Qi Lu's heart suddenly retreated.

It's not that he's afraid of these things.

I just think ...... It doesn't matter where it's used.

It all seems weird.

But soon, the puppet next to him grabbed his hand.

"Line up."

The puppet said in an unquestioning tone.

Looking at the puppet with an expressionless face, but his eyes revealed that "I will break your limbs and send you there without queuing", Qi Lu raised his hand helplessly.

"I see, I know."

He walked to the back of the line.

Slowly waiting for his turn in the front of the medical team.

β€”β€”

At the same time, in a small room next to the infirmary.

The young boy walked briskly into the side house.

However, as soon as he pushed the door open, the next second.

"Chief?"

A smiling nurse sat in the back, watching Colin smile purely.

Colin's body shook at the face of such a smile.

"Wait, wait!"

Colin took half a step back: "I'm just going out to see the herbs!" Didn't plan to do anything else! ”

Hearing this, the nurse smiled and approached step by step: "Is it this?" ”

"That's right!"

Colin seemed a little intimidated by the nurse: "That's really it! ”

Looking at Colin, the nurse just covered him with her body.

The long diagonal shadow fell on top of Colin's head, and he couldn't help but shudder.

Still, he bravely made eye contact with the nurse.

Just like that after a long time.

The nurse sighed lightly, "I see. ”

"But I still hope you don't act so rashly. After all......"

The nurse looked at Colin's body.

And the look of fear on Colin's face faded unconsciously.

"yes, I know."

He said lightly: "The conflict between the 'plague' of the apocalypse and the 'Hippocratic Oath' has made me very weak. But this time it's different, if you're lucky this time......"

"I'll probably be able to reconnect with that person."

Colin gently grabbed the rope on his chest.

At the end of the rope, a golden coin hangs.

"I think all of this must be the will of the One. Perhaps the reason I'm here is to pave the way for the new apostles. ”

"It's like what Miss Alice did to me hundreds of years ago at the White Wall Cross. Everything is done to break the shackles of this ...... 'time'. ”

Colin narrowed his eyes: "It's going to be soon, just need to ...... again"

Suddenly, he began to cough violently.

The cough was so horrible that it made his body spasm and his whole face twisted.

The nurse next to him subconsciously wanted to hold him, but Colin himself refused.

"I didn't ...... Ahem, it's fine! ”

Colin coughed and said, "It's just for my immune system...... Ahem...... Shocks only. ”

"Soon, just give me another month. No, it only takes a week ......"

Colin's face turned pale: "In a week, everything will be over completely." My mission was finally accomplished, and so could I...... Fell asleep. ”

Speaking of which.

His pale face finally brought a hint of a smile.
