Myriad Paths

Gaga felt very uncomfortable.

It's not pain, it's just that the whole body feels 'unpleasant'.

Breathing is not smooth, muscles are not working properly, senses are blurred, hearing is unclear, and eyes cannot be opened.

When bad gas enters the body, it rots the five internal organs, causes fatigue and injuries, dissipates the spirit, and paralyzes the body.

So he couldn't even feel the pain because his body was numb and he didn't feel any injuries.

This allowed him to hold on, instead of involuntarily tensing his muscles due to the severe pain of the injury, which would increase the amount of bleeding.

If the wound is too painful, it will easily bleed. Relaxing will help the injury recover.

but……

It is estimated that Gaga's injuries will be difficult to recover from.

Bad energy not only paralyzes, but also damages the body and corrupts wounds.

Although it didn't hurt and the wound was cleaned, it allowed him to survive the night, but if the wound continued to worsen, he would still die.

Nothing can be done.

He is in urgent need of outside supplements.

Fortunately, the two people who stayed carefully gave him some soup.

With some easily digestible energy in his body and some added water, he finally felt better.

After chewing something subconsciously, he lay in the car in a daze, unable to react.

It wasn't until the midday sun gave him a headache that the numbness all over his body finally dissipated.

The sun is the place where Yang Qi gathers, and the sun's light is pure Yang Qi. Although it spans the universe and is weakened by the wind layer of the world itself, only a very weak part remains.

But no matter how weak it was, the strong yang energy began to dispel the evil and dark energy in him.

One of the enemies of bad energy is Yang energy.

Finally regaining a little strength, Gaga subconsciously began to vomit although he was not awake yet.

The Taoist method of breathing in and out is the foundation of spiritual practice. It should be done without thinking and can be done by instinct.

It just so happened that he had practiced to this point and could breathe out Yang Qi instinctively.

Just right, just right, just right again.

There always seems to be something ‘just right’ in Gaga.

Breathe in and out, and inhale yang into the abdomen.

The body is reflected by the sun, and the face is filled with jade.

Essence flows back and forth, and Yang uses its shape.

Yang energy rolled into the body, and although the evil energy was deep-rooted and difficult to be dispelled by such a simple thing, it was partially suppressed.

With this suppression, the original feeling of numbness disappeared.

No longer paralyzed, severe pain suddenly hits! Gu Ga, who had fallen asleep, let out a cry of pain and was forced to open his eyes.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he stood up suddenly and gasped.

"Benefactor, are you awake?" A voice sounded beside him, and his tone sounded very happy.

It's just that...it still speaks the language of the immortals, which is the elegant sound of the world.

There is nothing we can do.

It has been a hundred years since the Immortal came. For most of the newly born Shengyan clan members, this is their ‘mother tongue’.

Even Gaga himself can't speak the traditional Shengyan language, let alone others.

However, Gaga discovered that this voice... was particularly well-spoken.

Gaga herself speaks with some accent, which can't be helped.

But the voice didn't have any accent at all, just like someone who had taken a certificate and spoke very standardly.

Gaga immediately realized that this meant that the other party was not a local.

He immediately turned to look at the place where the sound came from, and saw a woman.

Her appearance... shouldn't be ugly, but she deliberately put a lot of things on her face, hunched over her breasts, and walked with a stoop, making it impossible to tell the difference between men and women at a glance. You have to look carefully to find out the gender.

Obviously, those thieves did not have the patience to observe carefully.

"Are you...? Before, Ga, that... ahem, a member of the motorcade?" Gaga endured the pain, reluctantly stood up, sat in the car, looked at the two people around him, and tried to speak.

But what he said was extremely hoarse and intermittent, so much so that he could hardly understand it.

Because the sound-producing organ of the Holy Flame Clan, which is the base of the wings, half of his was plucked out.

This is a very serious injury. For the Holy Flame Clan, this is equivalent to losing the ability to speak and express expressions at the same time.

Their emotions and speech are generated by vibrations at the base of their wings.

Quack lost one of his wings, and although he could still make some hoarse and indistinguishable sounds, it would be very difficult to speak in the future. It would hurt when he spoke, and it would be difficult for others to understand him.

He had to stop talking and look at the two people next to him.

A man and a woman, the woman was the one who just called me.

Another man, after he woke up, hurriedly went to the earthenware pot to bring a bowl of soup.

The woman seemed to understand Gaga's words and said to him: "Yes, we brother and sister were kidnapped by Xijiang thieves. My benefactor, please stop talking. Your injury is too serious, so you should rest."

The man also quickly brought soup to Gaga and fed him to drink.

Gaga moved a little, but his body was in so much pain that he could hardly move. Knowing his condition, he had no choice but to lie down.

However, after he lay down, he still flapped his wings with difficulty and made a hoarse voice as much as possible: "You... are not... cough, locals?"

This sentence made these two people understand.

The elder brother of the brother and sister replied: "The benefactor is right, we were all captured by the Xijiang thieves from Jinling Temple."

Gaga was stunned for a moment when she heard this place name.

Jinling Temple?

This place name sounds like... a place where the immortals still occupy it?

It was said before that two-thirds of the Holy Flame Realm is still the territory of the Immortal Sect, and only the remaining one-third is still in a disorderly zone of mutual fighting.

However, Gaga didn't know this, because his source of information was too closed.

It was the first time he heard that there was still a place where the Immortal Sect existed, and it was also the first time he saw people from the Immortal Sect.

This made Gaga have some questions in his mind, and he wanted to solve them.

However, those should be things after leaving here, and he is not out of danger at this time.

Gaga lay on the cart and began to pinch his hands.

Now that he woke up, it would not be difficult to expel the evil spirit. He had Taoist magic, and he could still do it with the help of Yang Qi to warm his body.

Seeing this, Shen Shuibi expanded his vision and scanned the surroundings.

Not many people came, and those so-called Xijiang thieves were still busy enjoying themselves, and they didn't care about the fact that a team didn't come back.

Really, I don't bother to care. With the discipline of the Xijiang thieves, it is normal to play for two more days when encountering something outside.

Well... if that's the case, then there's no need to watch what happens next.

Rabbit had little interest in the next development, so he stopped watching these little things and started to busy himself with his own things.

Let's talk about it when Gaga's life is in danger.

However, Gaga calmly thought about it at this time.

He saw... civilians from the Immortal Sect.

He had never had a good impression of the world ruled by immortals, so he had placed his hopes on the Holy King and wanted to restore traditions.

But now, after he was injured, he found that the people from the Immortal Sect spoke clearly and even the civilians knew how to be grateful and polite.

Moreover, they could push the car, which meant that they were in good health. Judging from their appearance, at least before they were captured, they could afford to eat.

If you can afford to eat, you can know honor and disgrace, etiquette, and gratitude.

However, being able to afford to eat... in this chaotic world has become a luxury.

Therefore, the local captives ran away after robbing food when they encountered problems, and only these two people from the Immortal Sect stayed and rescued Gaga.

What does this mean?

Does it mean that even civilians can have enough food in the territory of the Immortal Sect?

Is the Immortal Sect... the right one? No matter what, at least they can have enough food.

Gaga's heart fell into some doubts.

Is it really right for me to support tradition?

The laws of the immortals were overturned, but this world has become the territory of people like Xijiang thieves...

Is it true that the immortals are right?

Moreover, did I misunderstand the Way of the Guardian before?

The Taoist magic that I picked up is powerful and varied.

However, when facing the life-and-death crisis before, he finally chose to risk his life with the Way of the Guardian.

It was almost a subconscious choice, without much thought.

It was like instinct, and...

Just like his choice, he could have left immediately after the investigation, and then went to Ge Gu to report the situation.

He didn't need to risk his life at all.

But after seeing what happened to those people, he still stood up, even if he paid such a heavy price.

Is this the meaning of the Way of the Guardian?

He always felt that the way of the guardian was the path he should choose.

Although the Taoist sect was powerful, it was... not so friendly?

When thinking about this, he did not stop, but silently practiced the skills, collected the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and began to heal his wounds.

The Taoist techniques were useful at this time.

While breathing and recuperating, the two captives were also resting. Their injuries were not light, but they could still move.

He stayed there for another day.

Waited until night.

Gaga opened his eyes.

"Throw away the car... cough cough cough, gaga!" Gaga tried to speak, but was still stuck by his broken vocal organs.

He unexpectedly found that he seemed to speak with an uncontrollable gagging sound.

Just like... his name.

Coincidence?

Gaga hated the word coincidence, but it seemed that there was no way to avoid it.

"Benefactor, are you awake? Throw away the car, can you walk?" The two siblings quickly turned over from the ground, and the older brother said immediately.

Because, Gaga didn't look like he could walk, so he probably had to push the cart.

They didn't walk during the day, because Gaga and they needed to rest, and walking during the day would be easily seen from a distance.

When they didn't move, they might be ignored, but when they moved, they would be easily seen.

So they planned to push the cart at night.

"Can...can, follow, follow me, I have, home..." Gaga said with difficulty, and then got off.

After a day of recuperation, he was able to move.

The two siblings looked at each other, gave up the cart, carried the remaining mycelium food, and followed Gaga to the "home" he mentioned.

Benefactor, there should be a camp, right?

The three of them set off.

They quickly returned to the camp.

Ge Gu was surprised, but immediately arranged for a doctor to treat them.

After the treatment, the two captives were also interrogated, and Gaga listened on the side.

The siblings only began to tell their origins at this time.

They indeed came from a place where immortals ruled, from Jinling Temple. This temple worshiped a ‘Golden God’, but they only knew it was the Golden God, not which ‘immortal’ it was.

When the two brothers and sisters mentioned the golden god now, they spoke with admiration, saying 'my god', and they respected him very much.

Especially my sister, she said to Ge Gu in an extremely humble tone: "It is the Golden God who gave us food and taught us virtues. It is precisely because of this that the place we live in is hugely different from here."

Gaga sat nearby and watched.

He saw Ge Gu's sneer expression. It was obvious that Ge Gu had no feeling for this rhetoric and even wanted to laugh.

But Gaga didn't find it funny.

He wanted to see if the Immortal Sect's territory was also so chaotic and disorderly, and was it also so terrifying? Isn't it better than these chaotic things now?

After hearing this, Gegu shook his head and stopped them from continuing: "Okay, it's useless to say that now. You can't go back to Jinling Temple. Do you want to stay in our camp or go on your own?" go back?"

This topic stopped the two brothers and sisters.

To be honest, they wanted to go back, but the road was too dangerous.

However, at this moment, Gaga suddenly spoke.

"Let them, themselves, farm here."

"Wait, after the harvest, use part of it as rations, and then... I will give it to them." Ga Ga made a difficult voice.

Ge Gu flapped his wings and made a confused sound.

Gaga's meaning is very simple, let them farm here, and after harvesting, part of it will be left here, and the remaining part will be taken away as rations, and then Gaga will escort them out of here.

"Are you free?" Ge Gu didn't seem very happy with this proposal.

"I want to go and have a look." Gaga made this stiff voice.

Now he speaks with almost no tone. To the Holy Flame Clan, this means that he has no expression, so he sounds emotionless.

However, Gegu seemed to hear some kind of longing despite his lack of emotion.

He looked at Quack.

This young man... he could have run away on his own, but he tried his best to save those people and ended up like this...

"Okay, it's up to you, but you can't take the food already in the camp. You have to count what you eat now and pay it back later." Gegu shook his head and stopped worrying about this.

However, that’s decided for the time being.

The two brothers and sisters had no way to leave without food, so they stayed in the camp for the time being.

There are no idlers here, everyone has to work, which is not a harsh treatment.

On the other side, Li Qi had already taken the seat of honor of the Liu family, which meant that he was a welcome guest.

Liu Shenzhi's father and Liu Junyi's uncle were sitting at the table, bowed their hands to Li Qigong and said:

"Thanks to the young master's love, Quan Zi was able to make friends. I'm very lucky."

It’s the last day, brothers, please vote monthly without any money.
