I survive in the weird Liaozhai

Tick, tick, a drizzle started falling from the sky.

In a desolate forest, a charred figure lay motionless among the weeds and broken trees.

One day, two days, three days. Time flies like an arrow, and three days have passed in the blink of an eye.

"Cough, cough, cough"

Intermittent coughing sounds came from the charred figure.

Gu Nian'an slowly opened his eyes, and there was darkness in front of him, he could not see anything, and there was silence in his ears, he could not hear anything.

I still have feeling in my body, but I can only feel a slight tingling sensation.

He was confused for a long while, and the scenes on the top of Xiaoqing Peak flashed through his mind one by one, finally stopping at the moment when he looked up at the sky.

He saw the huge silver-white pupil that spanned the sky.

It was just a glance, just a glance. The moment they looked at each other, he felt his soul and body trembling uncontrollably.

Indifferent, majestic, sacred and inviolable.

This is how he felt after looking into the giant pupil.

What the hell is this thing? It was supposed to be the world of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio.

But how could there be such outrageous things in the world of Liao Zhai?

He felt like he was going fucking crazy. This world once again refreshed his cognition.

The corners of his mouth moved slightly, but he could no longer utter a word.

Even with all his strength, he could only barely keep his eyes open.

The intense pain that followed his slight struggle almost made him faint again.

"Cough, cough, cough"

A violent cough broke out from the throat, followed by an uncomfortable feeling as if the internal organs were burning.

Being able to feel uncomfortable means that you are still alive, but is there any meaning in living like this?

Now the only parts of my body that can move are my eyes; moving my fingers has become a luxury.

From a doctor's professional perspective, there is almost no need for rescue for such serious injuries.

After being conscious for a moment, Gu Nian'an gradually felt his eyelids becoming heavier and heavier. Waves of mental fatigue came over him, leaving him with no room for resistance. Darkness fell again and he fell into coma again.

The sun rises and the moon sets, the stars move, and another morning arrives. The warm winter sun shines through the treetops and quietly shone on the charred human figure, which looks particularly desolate under the dots of light.

Suddenly, the clear chirping of birds broke the tranquility of the forest.

Hearing the noise, the charred figure lying quietly in the weeds and broken wood opened his eyes again with difficulty.

Gu Nian'an woke up again. This time, there was no darkness in front of his eyes. Instead, spots of grayish-white light floated in front of him.

And if he heard correctly, he should have heard some noise just now.

So fortunately, his eyes could still be saved and his ears probably weren't deaf either.

Is this a good thing? Maybe.

As he woke up again, his physical consciousness gradually recovered.

He could feel the intense pain all over his body, the burning tearing sensation was like a sharp knife attacking every nerve of his all the time.

"Pain" doesn't matter anymore. The physical pain at this moment is not even a bit compared to the heartache.

He didn't want to think about it, nor did he dare to face it.

He was actually very clear that even a tough-skinned martial artist like him had become like this, and then his master and junior sister...

He didn't want to think about it anymore, nor did he dare to think about it anymore.

"Master and Junior Sister, nothing will happen. It will absolutely be fine."

Gu Nian'an closed his eyes, and the sadness in his eyes was slowly hidden.

Master is a good man and has never done evil. If God has eyes, his end would not be like this.

My junior sister is the Yuede noble person among the four pillars of gods and evil spirits. Her fate is destined to bring good fortune and longevity in this life, and she will be blessed with good fortune when encountering difficulties, and she will not die so young.

So they will definitely be fine, and there is no way that anything will happen to them.

When he opened his eyes again, there was no sadness or fear in them. There was only calmness, even a calmness that was a little scary.

He struggled to sit up, sat cross-legged under the warm sun, closed his eyes, and silently circulated the energy and blood in his body.

There is no time to procrastinate, and even less time to think about random things. He needs to get better as soon as possible, as his master and his junior sisters are still waiting for him.

The night passed quickly. When the morning sun shone on the earth, dispelling the slight chill of the night and replacing it with warmth, Gu Nian'an opened his eyes and exhaled.

The speed at which his injuries recovered surprised him. The surface of his body was still charred, but he felt a slight tingling sensation from time to time.

Although his body was still in bad condition, it was slowly getting better, and even his breathing was becoming smoother.

The most important thing was that he felt his vision had returned, although now he could only see things two or three meters away, and they were still very blurry.

But none of this matters anymore. As long as his vision is restored he will be able to better identify his current situation and make corresponding plans.

He supported himself with his hands and tried several times before finally standing up shakily.

Just as he was about to move, his feet suddenly became uncontrollable, his body leaned forward, and he fell directly to the ground with a thud.

Fortunately, there are many weeds here and the soil is soft, otherwise, given his current physical condition, he would have died or would have been seriously injured.

He fell to the ground, feeling somewhat powerless. The struggle just now had consumed all of his remaining strength.

He had no choice but to lie on the ground for a while and wait until he had regained some strength before taking any further action.

After a while, Gu Nian'an felt a little better and struggled to stand up again with his hands on the ground, but he had very little strength left in his body.

Just turning over and sitting cross-legged on the ground is the limit now.

After all the effort he was back to square one and he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

He looked down at his charred body and felt even more helpless.

It was just a simple action just now, but now cracks have appeared on the charred skin, and bright red blood is slowly flowing out of the wounds.

Sitting cross-legged quietly on the ground, he was a little afraid to move.

My body is weak to begin with, and if I bleed profusely, I don't think I'll be able to see the sun tomorrow.

After calming down, Gu Nian'an, who was lowering his head, suddenly found that a plant at his feet looked familiar. He opened his eyes wide and tried to identify it, and suddenly remembered, isn't this "Atractylodes"?

A few days ago, Taoist master Qi Yuan was seriously injured, and the medicinal soup he prepared for the old Taoist master contained this herb.

But that's impossible. Atractylodes macrocephala prefers sunlight and hates shade. There are absolutely no conditions for Atractylodes macrocephala to grow on the entire northern slope of Xiaoqingfeng.

He quickly opened his eyes wide and looked carefully, and sure enough, he found no less than ten plants of "Atractylodes" in the surrounding area.

He was a little confused looking at the herbs scattered around.

It is true that the northern slope of Xiaoqingfeng is not suitable for the growth of "Atractylodes", but a lot of this medicinal material grows in a valley three or four miles north of Xiaoqingfeng.

Moreover, only in this valley within a ten-mile radius around Xiaoqingfeng is there so much Atractylodes growing.

So how did he manage to move several kilometers through thin air to get here while unconscious?

In fact, these are all secondary. If this is really that valley, Gu Nian'an feels that he may still be saved.

He moved his body stiffly and looked carefully behind him. Soon, a branch about one meter long with some branches appeared in front of him.

He grasped one end of the stick tightly with both hands and used the force of leaning back to pull it out from the broken wood. Fortunately, the branch had already broken and was not embedded in the messy wood pile, otherwise it would be impossible for him to pull it out in his current state.

With the support of the branches, he finally stood up from the ground.

Having learned from the last lesson, he was extra careful when moving this time. After all, his body really couldn't stand the torture.

With the support of wooden branches, Gu Nian'an moved slowly in the valley. Every step he took was difficult, but every step was firm.

Every time he walked a distance, he would stop to rest for a while, and at the same time he would squint his eyes and carefully look at the surrounding environment.

His eyesight is not good now, and if he takes the wrong path, he will waste his remaining little energy.

Finally, the hard work paid off. After working hard for a whole morning, Gu Nian'an finally found his target in the northwest corner of the valley.

Looking at the plant with six oval leaves so close to him, his eyes were shining. This was his hope of survival.
