Chapter 478 Serious Injury
Chen Mu had a dream.
He dreamed that he turned into a fish and was first cut open and his scales scraped off, causing him excruciating pain.
Then, while it was still fresh, I put it into a big pot, the boiling water inside was bubbling and steaming. There were also a lot of unnamed ingredients floating on the surface, and the smell... was quite fragrant!
Judging from his cooking experience, the ratio of seasonings is okay, but the cooking skills are a bit unskillful and he is not sure about the heat, so he just stews it over high heat.
The stew made him feel dry mouth and sweaty, and then he woke up from the heat.
He felt sore, painful and weak all over. It took a lot of effort for him to finally lift his heavy eyelids a little.
Then he found himself soaking in a large wooden barrel. The first thing he saw was the white hot steam. Moving his eyes downward, he saw densely packed medicinal herbs being lifted up by bubbling bubbles.
When he looked up again, Chen Mu saw Shen Yan with a strange look on his face. His still somewhat slow consciousness couldn't help but ask: "Old Shen, are you going to stew me and drink the soup?"
Shen Yan looked at Chen Mu's face, which was swollen twice and his eyes were squeezed into a line, with a playful look on his face: "No, no, no, I just want to braise some pig head meat."
Chen Mu looked at Shen Yan in a daze, then looked at the boiling water in the wooden barrel and sighed deeply.
"Old ghost, listen to my advice, change the cook, the fire is too high..." After saying that, Chen Mu nodded and fell asleep again.
Shen Yan: "..."
He looked at Shi Dechun and others beside him with regret.
"It's a pity that I don't have a shadow stone, otherwise I would have written it down for him!"
……
When Chen Mu woke up again, it was two days later.
Thousands of ghosts in Qiandeng City are busy building mud houses as a temporary camp for the newly arrived ghosts.
In the small courtyard in front of the wooden building, Chen Mu was wrapped in bandages, lying motionless in a rocking chair.
"What's going on?" He raised his chin slightly and pointed at the ten huge fireballs in the sky that looked like searchlights.
"What's wrong? Is your head still injured? You don't even recognize the soul-guiding lamp?" Shen Yan teased with a smile.
Chen Mu couldn't help but grit his teeth: "I know it's a soul-guiding lamp, but why is it so bright?"
In his impression, the soul-guiding lamp is just a white lantern that can be lit with a little power from the Yin spirits. It is a common lighting tool in the underworld.
It was nothing like the sky, with ten huge fireballs hanging in the air, lighting up the Thousand Lights City as bright as day.
"Remember the ghost lanterns that patrol the camp day and night?"
"Just those pale green fire balls, it doesn't look like it?" Chen Mu was surprised.
"That thing is essentially the same as the soul-guiding lamp, just a little more sophisticated and complicated. It is the work of the Huangquan Tribe and is used to monitor and guard the entire camp." Shen Yan said.
"Some of the auxiliary soldiers you brought in last time came from the Huangquan Tribe. I thought they were idle anyway, so I asked them to set up these ghost lanterns to provide lighting."
"Without the secret method of surveillance and warning, the color of the fire will naturally be different."
Chen Mu nodded in understanding.
However, he was only halfway through this action when the pain from his neck and head froze him in place.
Shen Yan glanced at Chen Mu and said, "I advise you to move less. It's a miracle that you're still alive. You should cherish it."
Chen Mu pulled the corner of his mouth and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
He didn't expect that the consequences of forcibly practicing the Danshan Sutra would be so tragic.
The true form of the celestial demon was washed away by a large amount of Yin spiritual power, becoming riddled with holes. At this moment, it was lying motionless in the secret acupoint between its eyebrows, and no matter how he called, it could not appear.
The flesh and blood body was almost crushed by the enormous pressure. The muscles, bones, internal organs and internal organs were all ruptured, which were more serious than the injuries caused by the corrosion of the Forgetful River.
Just as Shen Yan said, being able to survive is indeed a miracle.
"What's wrong with the generals in your Jigu City?" Chen Mu was a little annoyed.
With Lan Zhang in front and Bai Zhilang behind, they rebelled at the drop of a hat. If it weren't for these people rebelling, he wouldn't have forced himself to activate the Danshan Sutra to escape, and he wouldn't have ended up with all these injuries.
"And the military supervisor Gong Huan? Didn't you say he was upright and strict?"
Without Gong Huan's cooperation, Bai Zhilang would never have been able to swallow up the Yinbingying silently.
Chen Mu got angry when he thought of Shen Yan's confident look. If Shen Laogui hadn't guaranteed that the other party was fine, he would have been wary and might have discovered the problem early and fled early.
"Isn't it time to settle the account of your three thousand somersaults?" Chen Mu glared at Shen Yan.
The corner of Shen Yan's mouth twitched, and then he looked calm: "What do you mean by count? I didn't say anything wrong."
"I have asked around. Someone on the mountain took the soul-calling banner and the Ghost Gate and fled first that day."
"The one who can activate the Soul Summoning Banner and Ghost Gate at the same time must be the Military Supervisor Gong Huan. This shows that he is just pretending to cooperate with Bai Zhilang."
"Is there anything wrong with me saying that he is upright and loyal? He is absolutely right! He just gave up on you." Shen Yan became more and more confident as he spoke, and his main point was that he denied himself.
Chen Mu was so angry that he laughed: "Wait until I get better, and then you will see how I deal with you."
Shen Yan became calmer after hearing this: "Okay? Haha... then we'll have to wait."
Chen Mu's heart sank.
"Thank goodness for the group of Yin spirits you brought in at the end. Not only did they include people from the Huangquan Division, but they also included many people from the Yinfeng Yaoshi Division."
"It was only with the help of the Medicine Stone Department that we were able to save your life."
"As for complete recovery... there is nothing in your Thousand Lights City. If you want to recover more, you have to rely on your own recovery ability."
"If you were an ordinary ghost, it would be easy. As long as you can summon the power of the Forgotten River and the Medicine Stone Department is here, it will be of some help."
"But your body is not a simple ghost..." Shen Yan looked at Chen Mu with a playful look on his face: "Want to recover quickly, hehe..."
Chen Mu's heart sank.
Did you find out...
Although the Yin spirit's body has flesh and blood, it is different from the real human flesh and blood body. It is not obvious on weekdays, but now he is seriously injured. Shen Yan checked it many times and finally found something wrong.
"Since you can't see the difference, why didn't you kill me during the days I was unconscious?" Chen Mu narrowed his eyes.
After Shen Yan heard this, he immediately glared and said, "Then you have to give me a chance!"
"Just your five little ghosts, watching me like a thief every day."
"When you first came in, I couldn't even get within 300 meters of you. If I dared to step on the line, they would make me do splits and somersaults."
"Just throw yourself on the ground! My thighs are so swollen!"
Chen Mu pulled the corner of his mouth, looking at the five paper ghosts sitting in a row on the stone table beside him with a helpless smile.
The Yama Emperor's Order came from the Five Ghosts Moving Mountains, and the foundation of the Five Ghosts Moving Mountains was the Five Ghost Paper Figures. So as long as he let go of control, these five increasingly agile little paper figures could actually cast the Yama Order.
He released the five ghosts before he fell into coma. His original intention was just to scare Shen Yan, but he didn't expect these five little ghosts to go so far.
Listen, the root of the thigh is swollen!
What if it affects other people’s ability to pass on their family line?
Chen Mu glared at the five little kids who were pretending to be good kids and said, "Well done!"
Shen Yan: "..."
Damn it! I shouldn't have organized people to rescue you!
……
Another two days passed.
Chen Mu was still lying in the rocking chair. All the bandages on his body had been removed, and his body, which had swelled up twice before, had recovered. Even though his muscles and bones were still torn and had not fully healed, the speed of his recovery was enough to surprise Shen Yan.
"This shouldn't be possible. How could you recover so quickly?" Shen Yan was puzzled.
Chen Mu was playing with a white jade coin, with an unfathomable look on his face: "Guess!"
I'm guessing your sister!
Shen Yan rolled his eyes when he heard this.
"Is this the method used by you Qi Refiners?"
Chen Mu raised his eyebrows: "Did you recognize it?"
"I'm just curious, how did you, a living Qi Refiner, get into the underworld?" After spending so much time together, and adding to the previous inspection of Chen Mu when he was seriously injured, the knowledgeable Shen Yan has already recognized Chen Mu's true identity.
"It's no big deal, just the old-fashioned chase and escape scene." Chen Mu waved his hand.
"Chasing and escaping? Tsk! Why don't I find it strange at all?" Shen Yan exclaimed in amazement with a look of amusement on his face.
What do you mean?
"Look, if you stay in the Hai Camp, the Hai Camp will be ruined. If you come to the You Camp, Bai Zhilang will betray you."
"You are simply possessed by a disaster star, haha..." Shen Yan teased with a smile.
Chen Mu's face suddenly turned dark.
Can you blame me then?
It's all because of Lan Zhang, Bai Zhilang and the others' greed that caused so much trouble!
Chen Mu was indignant.
I just want to stay alone and gain experience, why is it so difficult?
……
The ten little suns in Qiandeng City lit up and went out, and Chen Mu's injuries got better day by day. But gradually, he realized something was wrong.
He recovered so quickly!
The exquisite jade plate could not be used in Qiandeng City, so Chen Mu rather extravagantly drew the spiritual energy from the white jade coins to restore his magic power.
With the power, his body's self-healing ability was enhanced, and his recovery from injuries was accelerated. He also used the Soul Reincarnation Technique to absorb the essence of the Jade Dew to assist in the repair of his body.
"But even so, it shouldn't recover so quickly!" Chen Mu frowned.
Not long after waking up, he realized the severity of his injuries.
