At this moment, the strong wind blowing at the entrance of the cave has stopped, the rumbling sound on the ground has also disappeared, and everything has returned to silence. I could hear Qin Bukong's heavy and labored breathing even from nearly ten meters away. I knew that only at this time did I have time to deal with the wound on my head. It didn't count as treatment. I just wiped off the disgusting juice from "Kui"'s stomach with my hands, and just when I got up , the "Kui" curled up in a ball on the ground was melting like a jellybean, blowing out bursts of black smoke, and slowly turning into a puddle of water.
I walked to Qin Bukong and stretched out my hand to hold his body, and then asked Songzi how Qin Bukong was doing. Song Zi said anxiously that the stone hit him head-on, probably breaking some bones and damaging his internal organs. The so-called Ten Paths and Nine Doctors, broken bones and injured muscles are all minor injuries, they just require time to rest. But if the shock injures the internal organs, it's hard to say. I'm afraid it will leave many sequelae. At least I can be sure that from now on, even if Qin Bukong's body can recover in the future, he will never reach the current physical condition.
At this time, Qin Bukong coughed twice, and each cough seemed to tear his chest violently, and some bloody saliva spattered out. He said to me a little feebly, "It's fine now. After completing the seven levels, I have no worries anymore. I can see with my own eyes that you rely on your own strength and on-the-spot reactions to overcome this thousand-year-old level. I'm very happy." So happy, haha, haha.
Qin Bukong laughed while talking, and coughed when he laughed. I didn't realize until this moment that from the first level "Chi" to the last level "Kui", although everyone was working together to do this, but But without exception, I was the one who delivered the final blow. In other words, these seven ghost-like guys all died in my hands. Of course, there were coincidences and what I had to do, but more importantly, Qin Bukong relied on his own experience to give me the final blow in a seemingly non-existent manner. Frankly speaking, I am still very grateful. Even if I agreed to participate in breaking through the barrier, it was just to fulfill a promise to Master Lin Qishan.
I stretched out my hand and gently pressed Qin Bukong's chest, because every time he coughed, there would be a sharp point bulging on his chest, which felt like a broken rib. I told Qin Bukong to rest well and stop talking, and we were going down the mountain. Go to the doctor. Qin Bukong shook his head and said, "It's useless. It's an old bone. Even if it's cured, it's useless." It makes me happy to see you grow up. We have spent a lot of time together as master and apprentice, but our fate is not deep. We became master and apprentice when we were enemies. I also said that I don’t expect you to treat me as master and apprentice, but these days, you have proved to me with your ability. I think Lin Qishan has accepted a good student and given me some comfort. Even if I die here, I will have no regrets.
I scolded you for being stupid and talking nonsense. It's just a little trauma and you won't die. But I didn’t believe it myself after I said it, let alone Qin Bukong. Qin Bukong said that Lin Qishan had accepted a good student, which also made me have mixed feelings. After all, the one thing the master left for me before his death was to let Qin Bukong know why he was proud of me.
Now I think I am not only the pride of Master, but also the pride of Qin Bukong.
Qin Bukong pointed to the melting and smoking body of "Kui" on the ground and said to me, go take a look and dig out the box. I said are you crazy? You are injured like this. How can you delay? No one comes to this place and the box will not escape. We can just dig it out later. The most urgent thing now is to send you to see a doctor.
Because the bones in Qin Bukong's chest were broken, but we didn't know exactly how much, so I asked Songzi to find some strong branches for me. I tore off one of my sleeves and tore it into strips. The rope was simply tied into a splint, and it was tightly clamped on Qin Bukong's chest and back as a fixation. Then Songzi helped me lay Qin Bukong on my back, and I fixed Qin Bukong. Afterwards, with the support of Song Zi, he carried Qin Bukong down the mountain.
This walk took a very long time. Because Qin Bukong was very big, it took me almost twice as long to reach the foot of the mountain. The horse herder who showed me the way before saw that I was carrying a man who was vomiting blood, so he kindly went to Yinmakou at least a generation ahead of time, and found a doctor and a stretcher waiting nearby, so that I was not delayed. Time to save Qin Bukong. And when the doctor asked me how I could be so seriously injured, Songzi rushed to answer that he slipped while climbing and fell on a big rock.
After sending Qin Bukong to the hospital, the doctor said that four ribs were broken, and one of them was almost impossible to reconnect because it was broken. He had to open the chest to remove it and replace it with a metal material. Qin Bukong was actually unconscious when he was sent to the hospital. It was important to save people, so I immediately requested and arranged the operation without asking for his opinion. However, since the surgery required shaving of body hair, Qin Bukong's beard was eventually unavoidable. Fortunately, Qin Bukong, who was in a coma, kept his deformed little mouth tightly closed, but he still frightened the doctor and the doctor. The nurse jumped. I hurriedly said, it was just an ordinary scar, and it was a bit deformed, so I let it pass.
After waiting in the hospital for several days, Qin Bukong recovered quickly after his bones were reattached. However, the doctor told us that Qin Bukong may suffer from internal bleeding due to the concussion of his internal organs. However, it is not yet possible to determine the specific symptoms that will cause it. However, if one of the organs is damaged, both organs will be damaged. If one of the organs is disordered, it will be very serious. This may cause the entire internal system to collapse.
Although I had expected this to be the case, at present, it seems that there is no way to change this fact. Qin Bukong's lifespan will definitely be greatly reduced because of this. The only thing Songzi and I can do is to let him live as long as possible. If Qin Bukong lives a happier life in the remaining days, maybe his mood will be better, and his internal organs' ability to recover on their own will be better, all of this may be possible.
After Qin Bukong took care of the trauma, he just couldn't use excessive force. His spirit was somewhat affected by the internal injuries, but he recovered relatively quickly. However, since he woke up, he has been cursing at me, blaming me for not agreeing. The surgery had caused him to shave off his beard, and now the wind was chilling and he felt so naked.
Songzi and I both found it funny. After all, none of us thought that Qin Bukong looked at least ten years younger after shaving. It's just that the little mouth on his cheeks has to be closed a little tighter for a while, at least until the beard grows back to cover it, he has to talk less.
After staying in the hospital for a week, the doctor said that the stitches would be removed in a few days. Qin Bukong said that he was almost mentally recovered, so he asked Songzi and I not to stay idle in the hospital every day, but to take this opportunity to dig out the stone box. Songzi and I saw that Qin Bukong was indeed recovering well. The two of us had nothing else to do here except feed him and wait for him to pee. The nurses in the hospital can do these things for us, so we planned to dig out the stone boxes first.
So when we rushed to Zangma Cave that day, we found that the body of "Kui" on the ground had already turned into a puddle of water and evaporated, leaving only a black but dry mark on the ground. Songzi quickly found the location where the box was buried with a dragon-seeking ruler. He and I took turns digging, and the box was lifted out within a few hours. Naturally, there is the last wax ball in the box, as well as the scabbard of a sword. Judging from the carving on the scabbard, it is very delicate and delicate. It can be seen that the sword that can be inserted into the scabbard must not be ordinary. thing. Could it be the pure Yang sword used to suppress the Witch King's soul?
There is also a bamboo sign at the bottom of the box. Perhaps it was written in a way that cannot be blamed on Cunshi, so the person who left the bamboo sign carved a sentence that looks like a doggerel on it:
"The day when the long sword returns to its sheath, it will see the sky again. When an ordinary man looks at the sky, he will return to his true self."
Judging from the handwriting and tone, it seems to be exactly the same as the letter left by Lu Zu that was found originally, and it is probably the one left by Lu Zu. After reading this limerick, it is not difficult to notice that he has a sense of arrogance and helplessness. That probably means that since you have all found this bamboo sign, I won't worry about it anymore. I will leave the things to you and do whatever you like with it. Apart from that, there is nothing else, but the wax-skinned ball we found is a little different from the previous six. It no longer makes a buzzing cicada, but is quiet and makes no sound at all.
On the way back with the things, Songzi and I agreed that we would not put the things back into the formation first, but wait until Qin Bukong was discharged from the hospital before letting him do it himself. Because Qin Bukong spent almost the rest of his life on this matter. The so-called beginning and end, letting him complete it by himself, may have fulfilled his biggest wish in his life.
So we returned to the hospital with our things. Although Qin Bukong asked us to go home first to deal with matters in the formation, we insisted on waiting for him. He was now a useless old man and couldn't fight. After a few days, the stitches were removed. The doctor said that I could be discharged from the hospital after a few days of rest. However, after returning home, I had to take more supplements, because medicine for external injuries requires supplements for internal injuries. Although we don't have a legitimate career, we have accumulated some wealth over the years, and it is no problem for Qin Bukong to eat and drink well.
So when we returned home after being discharged from the hospital, we did not rush to deal with the matter in the formation. Instead, we waited on Qin Bukong for more than a week. It was not until he was able to get out of bed freely that he suggested that maybe it was time to reveal the answer.
