Zhang Tie thought that he was dead. At least when the fuzzy awareness reappeared in Zhang Tie's mind like a flickering candlelight in the wind, Zhang Tie thought that he was dead...
When the weak and shaking awareness reappeared in Zhang Tie's mind, Zhang Tie's brain started to run like a steam engine that had been restarted. Gradually and firmly, his cells started to regain their awareness one by one. At the same time, the last scene in Zhang Tie's mind gradually became vivid.
Moonlight, valley, trail, bamboo woods...
A woman in red skirt was sitting on a huge rock which was as large as a green ox beside the brook under the bright moonlight. She was playing a verdant jade flute leisurely.
Sitting on the green rock, the woman had a graceful figure. Her skin was whiter than snow. Her black hair was like a waterfall. She was like a fairy in the painting. She was lightly bathing water in the brook with her jade-like feet.
If death was a dream, Zhang Tie wanted to die in such a poetic and picturesque dream and watch that beautiful face which he had been dreaming about.
As long as he could watch that woman bathing water and playing the flute on the green rock, he would not care about it even if he could not wake up anymore.
The last scene in Zhang Tie's mind rippled like water ripples. Closely after that, it melted away. At the same time, a great sense of tiredness and weakness struck him. Zhang Tie felt that his head was being pressed into a ball of cotton. Surrounded by darkness, his head was constantly sinking into the depth of the cotton...
This feeling made Zhang Tie so sad that he wanted to spurt out blood.
However, this sad feeling only flashed by. At the same time, a whim occurred to Zhang Tie's mind, 'Am I still alive?'
Because if he was dead, he would not have such a feeling. This feeling indicated that his body and brain were still functioning and were still sending their signals back to him.
Zhang Tie had a similar experience in Kalur Theater of Operations when he fought Black Feathers Corps of Sun Dynasty in Iron-Blood Camp. At that time, he thought that he was going to die; however, he survived in the end.
Although his brain and body were still weak, after realizing that he was still alive, Zhang Tie had a strong will to survive. At this moment, Zhang Tie had a strong will to survive.
Gradually, his head and consciousness stopped sinking. Zhang Tie exerted all his strength to raise his head from the weak, soft cotton...
At this moment, a voice drifted into Zhang Tie's ears, which sounded far and near...
"... Don't add too much dragon marrow ointment into the blood pool. Otherwise, he would not be able to stand it. You can only add half a qian of dragon marrow ointment a day. I think you can add some Nine Serene Life Connection Grass to neutralize it..."
Closely after this voice, another voice appeared.
"The Nine Nether Life Break Grass is feasible, but it's best if I use the Golden Needle Meridian Unblocking Technique to protect the meridians in his body. If I use the Nine Nether Life Break Grass, I can make the medicinal effect of the Nine Nether Life Break Grass go deeper …"
As soon as this voice fell, a third voice rang out.
"These days, immortal, your bones have gradually healed. I think you could push your blood with battle qi so as to help your vital qi grow. I've already calculated it. As immortal cultivates Five-elements Ground-look Sutra, there's still the residual five-elements qi of Five-elements Ground-look Sutra in your body. As long as we find a virgin who was born on a yang day in a yang year, a yang month and a yang day, and also cultivates Five-elements Ground-look Sutra, we could definitely get a miraculous effect by using the method of Fish-dragon Qi. Those born on the Yang year, Yang month and Yang day have the battle qi of wood attribute as yang wood. Wood is responsible for hair growth; wood feeds fire. As long as wood qi is strong, fire qi will rise for sure. Heart belongs to fire; when fire qi rises, heart meridian will be firm. As long as heart meridian is firm, the foundation of the body will be firm. As a virgin under 16 years old and a congenital pure yin, yin dominates restraint, you will get twice the result with half the effort by using the Dao of Yin and Yang at the same time … "
"That's too harsh. I'm afraid that it's difficult to find …"
"What's difficult to find …" The first voice sounded discontented at once, "Do all the people in the Peacewest Agricultural Temple and the Provincial Court of Taixia Country grow up eating grass? The birth population of each city across Taixia Country has been recorded. As for who cultivates which secret methods, I don't believe that those heads in the government departments across Taixia Country don't know about it. If so, just let them raise pigs. No matter what, it's none of my business if you can't find it, humph …"
"Haven't you heard Mr. Mao's words? Hurry up …"
"Yes, sir …" Someone replied. Closely after that, they heard footsteps leaving.
There was a momentary silence. After a full minute, the voice of the person who had spoken first sounded again.
"It's not because of the plants, you, or me that the True Monarch has been able to last until now. It's all thanks to the endless vitality in the True Monarch's body. Without that vitality, even an immortal would be useless. I've been practicing medicine for a hundred years, but this is the first time I've seen such a powerful vitality in a person's body …" The voice in front sighed.
"Hopefully, immortal could survive this catastrophe. That would be the fortune of humans and the fortune of Taixia Country …"
"Good people don't live long; scourges live for thousands of years. Motherf * cker, why are good people so unlucky? Why didn't those b * stards be bombed by the thunder of nirvana? But as he could survive the thunder of nirvana, I don't think he could die so easily …"
Hearing these words, Zhang Tie tried his best to open his eyes.
Such a simple movement was like lifting two 10,000-ton floodgates for Zhang Tie at this moment.
Finally, Zhang Tie opened his eyes and propped up his eyelids.
Everything in his vision became blurry for a second. Closely after that, Zhang Tie became clear.
Zhang Tie found that he was lying in a huge crystal bath as he was soaked in some bizarre liquid. The pattern of the crystal bath and the flowing bloody runes in the crystal reminded Zhang Tie of the bloody sea that he had seen before. However, compared to the bloody sea, this crystal bath was only a bit larger than common bathtubs.
The liquid in the crystal bath wasn't blood, but a strange herbal fragrance. He was soaking naked in the medicinal liquid. The medicinal liquid was cold, but there was a warm heat seeping into his body from his skin, making him feel very comfortable … …
There was a high and brilliant dome in the room. Three old men were standing on one side of him and talking.
Each of the three old men had grey hair and beard. However, each of them had their own temperament. One of them wore the uniform of imperial physicians in the imperial palace of Taixia Country; the other one wore a white boa silk robe and looked like an immortal; the last one was skinny and bald like a monkey with a liquor gourd on his back. He looked slovenly. It was this old man who said that good people didn't live long; scourges live for thousands of years.
Zhang Tie's eyes fell onto the last old man. The latter instantly sensed Zhang Tie's gaze as he turned around and looked straight into Zhang Tie's eyes.
At the sight of Zhang Tie waking up, the old man became stunned for a second. Closely after that, he revealed a pleasant look as he pointed at Zhang Tie and said incoherently, "Ah, wake up, wake up, wake up, Immortal Qianji has woken up …"
The other two old men hurriedly turned around. At the sight of Zhang Tie opening his eyes, the two old men revealed ecstasy at the same time as they couldn't hide their thrills …
"Where … where … is this … Xuanyuan Fortress?" Zhang Tie barely opened his mouth. Closely after that, he had started to pant weakly.
After exchanging a glance with each other, the three old men moved at the same time. The old man in the uniform of imperial physicians and the white boa silk robe took Zhang Tie's hands and put some fingers onto Zhang Tie's wrists as they started to feel Zhang Tie's pulse. The bald old man with a liquor gourd on his back directly put his palm onto Zhang Tie's chest.
10 seconds later, the three old men exchanged a glance with each other as they nodded towards each other. They all felt that Zhang Tie's vitality was recovering rapidly although it was still very weak.
"We're not in Xuanyuan Fortress; we're in Xuanyuan Hill …" The old man in the uniform of imperial physicians told Zhang Tie faintly. Meanwhile, he turned around and told a person on his side, "Hurry up, go report to the royal palace and tell His Majesty that Immortal Qianji has already woken up …"
A waiter who had been left in the room ran out in a hurry.
Almost the moment that waiter ran out, two voices had drifted from the door of the room.
"Hubby …"
"Hubby …"
It was Yan Feiqing who called Zhang Tie "hubby" while Bai Suxian who called Zhang Tie "hubby".
The two voices were like the most beautiful melodies for Zhang Tie at this moment.
At the sight of Yan Feiqing and Bai Suxian, the three old men hurriedly gave way to Zhang Tie. Closely after that, two beautiful faces appeared in front of Zhang Tie, each holding one of Zhang Tie's hands.
Bai Suxian's face was covered with tears while Yan Feiqing's eyes were also wet …
The two people were watching Zhang Tie affectionately.
Zhang Tie wanted to smile; however, he couldn't because of the sense of weakness and powerlessness. Instead, he felt dizzy once again. Therefore, he closed his eyes unconsciously.
"How's my hubby?" Yan Feiqing's voice sounded in Zhang Tie's ears.
"Immortal's vitality is recovering. However, he's still very weak. He needs more rest …" The imperial physician said meticulously as if he knew who Yan Feiqing was.
"Hmm, thanks for your trouble. Please take a rest outside. I will stay here with my hubby …"
After exchanging a glance with each other, the three old men walked out of the room respectively.
"You go out too. I can stay here …" Yan Feiqing told Bai Suxian calmly.
"Why? I have to stay here too …" Bai Suxian said stubbornly as she felt wronged.
"You're disturbing my hubby's rest. I can stay here …"
"You … you're a bully …" Bai Suxian almost cried.
Yan Feiqing's voice remained calm and dignified as she said, "From now on, I'll be in charge of everything around my hubby. I've been a loving couple with my hubby for 6 decades in the tower of time. I'm my hubby's wife. If you don't agree with me, you could call your dad Lord Guangnan here to reason with me. If you still don't leave, don't blame me for throwing you out …"
Bai Suxian was also driven out of the room by Yan Feiqing.
After driving Bai Suxian away, Zhang Tie and Yan Feiqing held Zhang Tie's hand and put it on their face. Then, they gently stroked it as they watched Zhang Tie in deep and painful sleep.
"Why are you so silly …" Yan Feiqing whispered to Zhang Tie as she couldn't stand dropping off tears, wetting Zhang Tie's palm …
