…
It was a sleepless night with thousands of homes lit up.
The men who were about to leave home to enlist in the army would only spend the last three nights at home starting from this night.
Three days later, they would enlist in the army; they would either head north or south, east or west!
Each and every one of them was deeply focused on their own homes, their own families.
They had never realized that this home was so warm, so adorable, and so reluctant to leave.
The son who was usually mischievous and whom he wished he could hit eight times a day was actually so adorable and lively.
He wanted to watch him from afar as he continued to fool around.
However, he could not.
Once Yutang was gone, his home would be gone as well.
There would be no more Yutang when the nation was destroyed. How could there be an unbroken egg when the nest was overturned?
If the country that gave birth to them was conquered, who knew what kind of treatment they would be subjected to?
How could those wolf-like invaders leave a path of survival for their own family members?!
It was better to be a dog in times of peace than to be a slave of a subjugated nation!
These words spoke of the hardships of the people, the heartfelt wishes of the people!
Thousands of families, silent wine tables.
People who drank silently.
"Drink this cup of wine."
"Good!"
"Do well when you go. Don't embarrass the people at home."
"Good!"
"Everything is fine at home."
"Yes."
"If … if …" The old father lowered his head, his pale hair quivering under the light. His face was hidden in the darkness where the light could not reach as he said in a hoarse voice, "If … that moment comes, don't forget that Yutang's blood flows in your bones. We're going to fight with our lives, not to surrender! "
"Don't worry, father! I'm not a coward! "
"Good! Good! Good! "
The old man drank half of his wine and stood up. He wanted to say something but he swallowed it and said in a hoarse voice, "Have a good talk with your wife … Tell her that our family awaits your return. If you don't come back, we'll raise you like a daughter. In the future … we'll buy you a dowry! "
"Yes."
Thousands of homes lit up the sleepless night.
They departed for the battlefield in the morning.
Yutang was filled with the fragrance of wine.
Countless elders knelt in front of their ancestors' graves, holding candles and paper money in loneliness, tears streaming down their faces.
"I hope that the spirits of our ancestors can bless our children's safe return …"
Candles and incense flickered in front of countless graves throughout Yutang.
…
On the other side, Yun Yang finally met the legendary descendant of the Physician Genius Family, Sun Chengfeng.
Chancellor Lan stood by the side, watching Sun Chengfeng take Elder Yun's pulse with a nervous expression.
Elder Yun's current position was special. If he couldn't be cured, then he could only continue with the original flawed plan.
If Supreme Cloud was not executed, the Empire of Ziyou would be in for a good time from now on!
Even if Yutang was annihilated, the Empire of Ziyou, as the main perpetrator of this plot, would have to face Supreme Cloud's most direct and extreme revenge. It would be unbearable.
What was more, could the Empire of Ziyou escape the covetous eyes of other empires as it suffered from the continuous man-made disasters? It was a terrifying outcome that could wipe out the entire Empire of Ziyou's regime!
Thinking deeper, if Supreme Cloud had really gathered all the powers of the Nine Supremes' manifestation, the entire Empire of Ziyou would be reduced to a nation of swamps if he only directed the Lunar River's water to pour in. How many people would be left alive then?
"What a strange pulse …" Sun Chengfeng frowned, his fingers on Elder Yun's wrist stuck. "Strange …"
Chancellor Lan asked anxiously, "What is it?"
"This … Elder Yun's pulse should have been severed a long time ago … However, there's still a strand of life force in his meridians … In other words, this Elder Yun … cough cough, forgive me for being blunt … should be someone who died a long time ago … However, for some reason, he's not dead and is still alive until now …"
Yun Yang praised, "Miracle Physician Sun's mastery of the pulse is indeed remarkable. It's no less than your ancestor's. You're very accurate!"
"For Elder Yun to be able to live until now, not only is it commendable, it's also something that others can't do. However, even if Elder Yun can slow down his injuries every time he flips, it will still damage too much of his life force and his cultivation base."
Sun Chengfeng said, "At this time, today, now … I believe Elder Yun should understand that there is no more room for squandering next time."
Yun Yang heaved a long sigh. "That's right."
These two words were filled with a heavy and dignified feeling.
Chancellor Lan sighed as well.
Miracle Physician Sun's diagnosis had once again proven that what Elder Yun had said was true. At the same time, it had also proven that his own guess was true. What was the use of proving it now? The key was that he had to be able to cure him!
Only when Elder Yun's condition improved could they proceed to the next step!
Chancellor Lan asked anxiously, "Does Miracle Physician Sun have any ideas?"
Miracle Physician Sun frowned. "It's difficult …"
Prime Minister Lan's heart turned cold. "Is there really no way to even try?"
Sun Chengfeng was silent for a while before he said, "Elder Yun is experienced and knowledgeable, and has been entangled with this illness for countless years. I believe that your knowledge of this injury far surpasses mine. I wonder if Elder Yun knows how to treat it? Or perhaps the direction of treatment? "
Yun Yang sighed softly and said, "Actually, this old man has an idea of the direction of treatment and how to proceed. I even know the specific prescription. The problem is that it's as difficult as ascending to heaven to gather all the herbs!"
Chancellor Lan perked up and said, "As long as there's a way, there's hope. I wonder what herbs Elder Yun's prescription requires?"
Yun Yang said faintly, "The bitterness of the flood dragon's gallbladder, the frost of the peacock's tail, the sweetness of the rootless water, the sourness of the snow mountain pomegranate, the spiciness of the unicorn's horn, the saltiness of the boundless whale's blood. In addition … the heart of the fallen star and the most difficult medicinal primer, which requires the people's willpower to condense into a pill. Only then will there be hope."
Chancellor Lan was dumbfounded, as if he was listening to the Bible.
Sun Chengfeng thought about it and said, "May I ask who gave you this prescription? I … I've never heard of it before. "
Yun Yang gave him a sideways glance, for the first time, his nonchalance was gone as he said in surprise, "You don't know? This is the prescription given to me by your ancestor, Sun Damao! "
Sun Chengfeng's face immediately turned red, but not because of anger, but because of shame and an indescribable sense of glory. "So it's the ancestor … Ahem, ancestor … Da Mao is just a nickname for my friends, the ancestor's name is Sun Jishi."
Yun Yang snorted, "I'll call him Sun Damao … what about it? That bastard, he disappeared after giving me the prescription. Is he still alive now? "
Sun Chengfeng's expression grew more respectful. "My ancestor has passed away two hundred and seventy years ago …"
Yun Yang rolled his eyes, a tinge of sadness appearing on his face before he said indifferently, "I didn't expect that … after he gave me the prescription, he actually left me alone and died in secret … How preposterous."
Although he was saying outrageous, the expression on his face was one of melancholy and nostalgia. He then said slowly, "Back then … your grandfather was a good man …"
His sigh was clearly expressed in his words.
Sun Chengfeng said respectfully, "Since senior and my ancestor are old acquaintances …"
Yun Yang chuckled and said, "What old acquaintance? Your ancestor is my sworn little brother, he's my third! This old man is the eldest! "
Sun Chengfeng was shocked. "Senior, you … you're … you're … the God of Wine who terrorized the world back then?"
Yun Yang snorted, "What God of Wine? Why don't I remember such a lame nickname?"
Sun Chengfeng stood up respectfully, tidied up his clothes, and knelt on the ground. "Chengfeng of the Sun Clan greets the Great Master! May Great Old Lord be blessed, this grandson … is inexplicably excited. I hereby apologize for all the impoliteness I've shown previously. Please forgive me, Great Old Lord. "
Although Lan Wuxin had some guesses about Elder Yun's true identity, he had yet to confirm it, especially since Elder Yun had not revealed his identity himself. Even if he could basically pinpoint the identity, he dared not say it out loud. Naturally, he did not inform Sun Chengfeng.
Therefore, Sun Chengfeng really did not know who he was going to treat before he arrived.
When he checked the pulse, Sun Chengfeng was shocked. Just by looking at the pulse, the person before him was like an old man who had been dead for many years. The pulse was too strange. However, since the other party was an expert and had already stated that he was suffering from a dangerous injury, why else would he look for a miracle physician like Yun Yang? It made sense.
However, how did the other party become his Old Ancestor?
However, the other party was his Old Ancestor's sworn brother and was the eldest; his Old Ancestor was the other party's younger brother. Was that not his Great Old Lord?
Chancellor Lan, who was accompanying him, was dumbfounded as well.
'Damn it.
What kind of relationship is this? Isn't it a little too complicated?
We haven't even done anything yet and you're already acknowledging each other? One of you has become another's Old Ancestor. Can't you be more childish? If you're so amazing, why don't you ascend to heaven? '
'No, that's not right. With his cultivation base and seniority, ascending to heaven is just a matter of thinking about it. He is just that amazing! '
Even though he was enlightened, Chancellor Lan's expression was still a little twisted.
He and Sun Chengfeng were childhood friends; they had known each other since they were young; they had even addressed each other as brothers. Did this not mean that this fellow had become his Great Old Lord as well?
How could Chancellor Lan not feel conflicted at the thought?
Who was he? He was the head of the Empire of Ziyou's officials, the ancestor of the civil officials; he was someone to be respected no matter who he was. However, in front of this old man, he had been demoted to the level of a grandson!
Looking at the white-haired Sun Chengfeng respectfully addressing him as Old Lord and Great Old Lord while kneeling on the ground, filled with admiration, Chancellor Lan's heart was a mess. Should he join in the fun and address him as Old Lord and Great Old Lord as well?
Thinking about it, Lan Wuxin shuddered; he really did not want to think about it any further.
"Get up. You're already so old. As long as the intention is there, it's fine. Is there a need to be so serious? Damao was like this back in the day, polite and considerate in everything … "Yun Yang said kindly and sighed," Still, a good person will be rewarded. The Physician Genius Family has healed the world, the bloodline is unbroken, there's a successor … "
…
"Today is a tragic day. When I was writing, I slipped my foot and the thermos bottle toppled over and broke, spilling hot water all over the floor. It's nothing much, but my wife's three little lanterns were charging not far away. With a pop, there was a burnt smell. One went out, pop, another went out, and when I rushed over, the third one went out as well … "
Green smoke curled and the burnt smell lingered …
