The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 508 There are rules for every grotto-heaven.
Lin Chen received an address, and Feng Yazhen came over to take a look.

"Cangshan...this address seems to be in a village?"

Lin Chen replied, "Never mind, let's get going. Her condition can't be delayed any longer."

"Given her condition, she shouldn't be able to fly, right?"

Lin Chen shook his head: "No, going up and down will have too much of an impact. Help me find an ambulance with two nurses, and I'll drive there."

Feng Yazhen nodded: "Okay, I'll make the arrangements right away, and I'll go with you."

"it is good!"

With the Feng family's influence, arranging something like this is a piece of cake; one phone call and a fully equipped ambulance will be there.

Lin Chen carried Gu Yuexi to the car, laid her on the bed, gave her oxygen, gave the two nurses some instructions, then got into the driver's seat and drove off.

The journey of nearly two thousand kilometers took Lin Chen a whole day, during which he stopped several times to breathe and keep Gu Yuexi alive.

The address they gave us was in a village on Cangshan Mountain, which is inaccessible by car.

Lin Chen carried Gu Yuexi on his back, winding along the mountain path, passing through villages, and continuing towards a more desolate place. Then, amidst the towering mountains, he found a courtyard house.

This courtyard house is quite large, with spacious rooms and cultivated land around it, but there are no roads nearby.

Lin Chen and Feng Yazhen traversed the mountains and forests and arrived at the entrance of the courtyard house.

Lin Chen knocked on the door, his heart starting to race again.

He came with great expectations, fearing only disappointment.

The door opened, and standing inside was an elderly woman with silver hair, dressed in a clean and tidy blue cloth robe. She had a ruddy complexion, was in good spirits, and her sharp eyes swept over the two of them before landing on Gu Yuexi on Lin Chen's back.

"Lin Chen?"

Lin Chen nodded: "It's me..."

“Bring it in.”

The silver-haired old woman spoke calmly, stepping aside to open the door.

Lin Chen carried Gu Yuexi into the room, and then, following the instructions of the silver-haired old woman, placed Gu Yuexi on a bed.

"You all rest for a bit, I'll go call the lady."

The silver-haired old woman stepped onto a bluestone path behind the house, and her figure quickly disappeared into the mountains and forests.

Lin Chen and Feng Yazhen exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with surprise and delight. Could the uncharted territory of Cangshan be hidden within these mountains and forests?
What is this silver-haired old woman who lives here?
The guide?
Gatekeeper?
Or perhaps, a transit point?
Neither of them spoke, after all, they didn't know if they might touch on someone's taboos, so it was better to be careful.

Half an hour later, footsteps were heard, and three people entered the house.

The silver-haired old woman, the mysterious woman I met briefly in the Southwest last time, and an old man with a venerable air, white hair, and a youthful face.

The mysterious woman was dressed in a long blue robe, with an ethereal and otherworldly air about her.

Lin Chen quickly stood up: "Hello, ma'am, I'm so sorry to have troubled you."

The woman smiled gently: "It's alright. I know your medical skills are superb. If even you are helpless, the injury must be quite serious. This is Elder Qin, the most skilled doctor here. I'll ask him to take a look."

Lin Chen quickly cupped his hands in greeting: "Elder Qin, thank you for your trouble!"

Old Qin waved his hand: "Let's take a look first."

Lin Chen quickly made way for him, and Old Qin walked to the bedside, placed a finger on Gu Yuexi's wrist, and then closed his eyes.

After a long pause, Elder Qin released his hand: "She was injured by internal energy. She's just an ordinary person and couldn't withstand such an impact. Most people would probably have died already. You used the Heaven-Returning Needle to forcibly prolong her life, but it's like a withered tree that can't be brought back to life..."

Lin Chen asked expectantly, "Elder Qin, is there any hope?"

Old Qin stroked his beard and pondered for a moment: "It's difficult in some ways, but not difficult in others."

Lin Chen's eyes lit up with joy, and he cupped his hands in a gesture of respect, saying, "Could you please elaborate?"

Old Qin glanced at the young woman beside him and explained softly, "You should know where we're from, right?"

Lin Chen replied, "I vaguely know some things... about the unknown places, the blessed lands, and the Cangshan Cave."

The young woman looked at Lin Chen with slight surprise: "Everyone says it's an unknowable place, how do you know about blessed lands?"

Lin Chen replied, "A few days ago, I participated in the exploration of a fallen, unknown place, where I learned about the concept of a blessed land."

Elder Qin asked in surprise, "Which of the shattered, unknowable places did you explore?"

Lin Chen answered frankly, "Liang Changshan."

Elder Qin suddenly realized: "The spiritual energy of Liangchang Mountain's grotto was exhausted, and the grotto collapsed. It has been five hundred years since then. The collapse of the grotto should have meant the destruction of everything, but it is said that a powerful person emerged from Liangchang Mountain and single-handedly stopped the collapse of the grotto. However, no one knows where he fell, but unexpectedly, he was discovered by mortals five hundred years later..."

Lin Chen said no more and simply waited quietly for Elder Qin to explain.

After a moment of reflection, Elder Qin chuckled and said, "Since you understand blessed lands and grotto-heavens, it's easier for me to explain. Simply put, within a blessed land, with its abundant spiritual energy as a foundation and other methods as aids, healing her injuries isn't difficult. However, blessed lands have their own rules; mortals from the outside world are not allowed to enter. That's the difficulty..."
