Chapter 313: See the Decision
Gaga felt very uncomfortable.
It was not painful, but he felt uncomfortable all over.
He had difficulty breathing, his muscles were out of control, his senses were blurred, he could not hear clearly, and he could not open his eyes.
The evil air entered his body, corrupting his internal organs, causing him to suffer from various kinds of fatigue and injuries, exhausting his spirit, and paralyzing his body.
So he could not even feel the pain, because his body was numb and he could not feel his injuries.
This allowed him to survive, and he did not unconsciously tense his muscles due to the severe pain of his injuries, which led to increased bleeding.
If the wound was too painful, it would be easy to bleed heavily, and relaxing would help the injury to recover.
However...
Gaga's injuries would probably be difficult to recover from.
The evil air was not only paralyzing, but also damaging the body and corrupting the wound.
Although it did not hurt, and because the wound was cleaned, he survived the night, but if the subsequent wound continued to worsen, he would still die.
There was nothing he could do.
He urgently needed external supplements.
Fortunately, the two people who stayed behind carefully fed him some soup.
With some easily digestible energy in his body and some water added, he finally felt better.
He chewed something subconsciously, and he lay on the car in a daze, unable to react.
It was not until the midday sun gave him a headache that the numbness in his body finally dissipated a little.
The sun is the place where yang energy gathers. The sunlight is pure scorching sun energy. Although it spans the universe and is weakened by the world's own wind layer, only a very weak part remains.
However, no matter how weak it is, the strong yang energy begins to dispel the evil and dark energy on his body.
One of the nemesis of evil energy is yang energy.
Finally, he recovered a little bit of strength. Although Gaga has not woken up yet, he subconsciously began to breathe.
The Taoist breathing method is the foundation of practice. It should be done by instinct without thinking.
Coincidentally, he has practiced to this point and can breathe yang energy by instinct.
Coincidentally, coincidentally, coincidentally again.
There always seems to be something "just right" on Gaga.
Breathing in and out, taking in the yang into the abdomen.
The body is reflected by the sun, and the face is jade-like.
The essence and qi flow in and out, and the yang uses its shape.
The yang qi rolls into the body. Although the evil qi is deeply rooted and difficult to be dispelled by such a simple thing, it is suppressed to a certain extent.
With this suppression, the original numbness disappears.
No longer numb, a severe pain suddenly hits! The sleepy Gaga screamed in 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 the tone sounded very happy.
It's just... still speaking the language of the immortals, that is, the elegant sound of the world.
There is no way.
It has been a hundred years since the immortals came. For most of the newborn Holy Flame people, this is the "mother tongue".
Even Gaga himself can't speak the traditional Holy Flame language, let alone others.
However, Gaga found that this voice... was particularly well-spoken.
Gaga himself always spoke with an accent, which was unavoidable.
But this voice sounded like someone who had passed the exam, very standard.
Gaga immediately realized that this meant that the other party was not a local.
He immediately turned his head to look at the place where the voice came from, but saw a woman.
She looked... not ugly, but she deliberately put a lot of things on her face, hunched her back and chest, and walked with a hunched back, making it difficult to tell whether she was a man or a woman at a glance, and you had to look carefully to detect the gender.
Obviously, those thieves did not have the patience to observe carefully.
"Who are you...? Before, Gaga, that... ahem, the person from the team?" Gaga endured the pain, barely got up, sat in the car, looked at the two people around him, and tried to speak.
But his words were extremely hoarse and intermittent, and he could hardly understand it himself.
Because the vocal organ of the Holy Flame Clan, that is, the root of the wing, was plucked out in half.
This is a serious injury. For the Holy Flame Clan, it means losing the ability to speak and make expressions at the same time.
Their emotions and language are generated by the vibration of the wing roots.
Although Gaga can still make some hoarse and indistinguishable sounds after losing one wing, it will become very difficult for him to speak in the future. It will hurt when he speaks, and it will be difficult for others to understand.
He had to stop talking and observe the two people next to him.
A man and a woman, the woman was the one who just called him.
The other man, after waking up, hurried to the pottery pot to bring a bowl of soup.
The woman seemed to understand Gaga's words and said to him: "Yes, we two brothers and sisters were abducted by the Xijiang bandits. Benefactor, don't talk first. Your injuries are too serious. You should rest."
The man also hurriedly brought soup to Gaga and fed him.
Gaga moved around for a while, and his body was so painful that he could hardly move. He knew his situation and had to lie down.
However, after he lay down, he still struggled to flap his wings and made a hoarse sound as much as possible: "You...are not...ahem, locals?"
This sentence made the two people understand.
The elder brother of the brother and sister replied: "The benefactor is right, we were all captured by the Xijiang bandits from Jinling Temple."
Gaga was stunned when he heard the 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, and 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 did come from a place ruled by immortals, from the Jinling Temple. This temple enshrines a "Golden God", but we only know it is the Golden God, not which "immortal" it is.
The two siblings now mention the Golden God in a tone of admiration, and they are full of "my God" and respect him very much.
Especially the younger 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 where we live is so different from here."
Gaga sat next to him and watched.
He saw Ge Gu showing a sneer. Obviously, Ge Gu had no feeling for this set of rhetoric, and even wanted to laugh.
But Gaga didn't think it was funny.
He wanted to see if the territory of the immortal faction was also so chaotic and disorderly, and was it also so terrifying? Compared with the current chaos, is it better?
After hearing all this, Ge Gu 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 back by yourself?"
This topic stopped the two siblings.
To be honest, they wanted to go back, but the road was too dangerous.
However, at this moment, Gaga suddenly spoke.
"Let them, by themselves, farm here."
"Wait, after the harvest, take part as rations, and then... I'll send them." Gaga made a difficult sound.
Ge Gu vibrated his wings and made a puzzled sound.
Gaga's meaning was very simple, let them farm here, after the harvest, leave part here, take the rest away as rations, and then Gaga escorted them away from here.
"Are you free?" Ge Gu didn't seem very happy with this proposal.
"I, want to go, take a look." Gaga made this sound stiffly.
Now he spoke almost without tone, for the Holy Flame Clan, this was expressionless, so it sounded like there was no emotional fluctuation.
But, although there was no emotion, Ge Gu seemed to hear some kind of desire.
He looked at Gaga.
This young man... he could have run away by himself, but he tried his best to save those people and made himself like this...
"Okay, it's up to you, but you can't take the food already in the camp. You have to keep a count of what you eat now and pay it back later." Ge Gu shook his head and stopped worrying about it.
However, it was decided for the time being.
The two siblings had no way to leave without food, so they stayed in the camp for the time being.
There is no idleness here, everyone has to work, which is not considered harsh.
