Between mountains and seas

Huo Qing came out of the ward and walked through the corridor.

This is a single ward area, and the management is quite strict, and people are not allowed to visit casually, otherwise those reporters would have sneaked in.But Huo Qing walked in and out all the way, the nurses and doctors rushing back and forth in the corridor turned a blind eye to him, as if there was no such person at all.

He just walked out of the hospital without anyone paying attention, stepped onto an old-looking motorcycle on the side of the road, and started the car.The motorcycle made a few brisk puffing noises, and it carried him out in a hurry.A middle-aged man on the side of the road turned his head and looked straight, causing his wife next to him to slap him: "What are you looking at? Did you hear what I said? What's so good about a broken car?"

The man was used to being slapped by his wife, and he didn't take it seriously. He still stared at Huo Qing's back: "Don't look at the old car. This car must have been refitted! This car has a displacement of more than 400, why is it so quiet? No matter where it is modified, Lao Wang’s factory can’t do it.”

The woman rolled her eyes, and she no longer wanted to comment on her husband's obsession with heavy motorcycles: "You know this bike again?" Husband likes motorcycles, and she knows a little bit about it. This bike doesn't sound like that kind of heavy motorcycle. This kind of car suddenly wants to deafen your ears, how can it be so light?

Besides, although the car was wiped clean, it looked like an old car. It was placed on the side of the road, and even thieves would not bother to steal it.Just like this, the car is still modified?That can cost a lot of money.

"You just don't know the goods." Huo Qing had already ridden away, and the man was still stretching his neck to look around, "Look at the speed. How fast the car accelerated just now, it disappeared in the blink of an eye. Do you think it's time to sell it now?" Those electric cars! These are definitely modified by experts! No, I have to talk to Lao Wang, and then tell him to brag about how good his factory modification technology is, and he will never do it like this!"

Only then did the woman realize that what her husband said seemed to make sense: "It's quite fast..." The road is long and flat, and it can be seen that it is far away at a glance.But in just a few words, the rider was completely invisible.

"Of course." The man looked obsessed, "You didn't see it just now, but I saw it. As soon as the young man started the car, he picked up the speed-oh, I remembered, this car looks a bit Like the Harley—hey, I tell you that you don’t understand, anyway, this car should not be a low-end product, and it is definitely modified by a master, and it can be used for competitions! I said, let’s buy one too... ..."

"No! Motorcycles are not safe." The woman immediately denied the proposal and glanced at her husband at the same time.She didn't pay attention to how the car speeded up just now, but she took a few glances at the rider. The tall and handsome guy with a stern expression, with long legs, straddled the motorcycle, and he just rode an old motorcycle like an advertisement.Look at my husband again...

"You still ride a motorcycle like this, and you're not afraid of crushing the motorcycle..." It doesn't matter if you're not tall, but your stomach—it's probably squeezed before your feet step on the pedals.No, I have to urge him to lose weight starting today. Even if he can't lose the figure of the handsome guy just now, he can no longer look like a pot-bellied vase...

Of course, Huo Qing didn't hear the couple's conversation. He rode his motorcycle and followed the traffic in a regular manner. After half an hour, he arrived at a small street, parked the car in front of a private restaurant, and walked in.

It was still early, and the private restaurant hadn't opened yet. There were only two people in the store: a girl with a big head was playing Layers of Fear with her PS4 in her hands behind the counter, and she didn't even hear him come in; The man, who was peeling peas on a table in the lobby, asked without raising his eyelids, "Is it all done?"

Huo Qing walked over and sat opposite the man, and took a pod to peel: "The medicine has been used, but it is still difficult to judge whether the boy has any sequelae - he has a strong reaction."

The man shook his head: "He was born with weak yang qi, and the child is too delicate to be raised. It would be better if he can bask in the sun more... Sigh, there is no way, children are raised like this now."

Huo Qing didn't speak.Indeed, today, when the ultraviolet rays are getting stronger and stronger, adults and children are calling for more sun protection.Besides, no one thought that one day they or their children would fall into another world and need more yang energy.

The man seemed to have guessed what he was thinking, and smiled: "That's why we have to guard the barrier—why, judging by your face, that young man didn't say anything?"

When this matter was mentioned, Huo Qing's face became even more serious, and he was silent for a few seconds before he said, "I didn't expect..." Of course he investigated Shao Jingxing as soon as he came back.Although he was a dude, Shao Jingxing was considered good among the dudes, he had never done anything illegal, that is to say, he was a bit ignorant.Moreover, he did refuse to drive for the sake of the child, and revealed his identity, so that the kidnappers gave up on the child.From this point of view, he is clearly a brave person, but...

The man laughed loudly: "Xiao Huo, you--ah, even if you do something brave, you have to allow others to be afraid. Facing gangsters and facing a huge spider are two different things." Negotiation, but the spider refused to communicate.

Huo Qing frowned: "I know. But his ability..." Shao Jingxing's ability is really useful, otherwise he wouldn't be in such a hurry.

The man picked out the peas that were not too round, and nodded: "Indeed, his ability is really rare, we have already tested that piece of beast meat, and the power of mountains and seas in it has completely disappeared, it is just ordinary rabbit meat. "

To be honest, let alone Huo Qing has never seen this kind of ability, even he finds it rare.You must know that things in the world of mountains and seas are different from those in the normal world, they have all been eroded and affected by the power of mountains and seas.

Of course, there are also good things here, just like there are aliens among the eroded people, and the creatures in the world of mountains and seas can also evolve good things: for example, eating the ray that can cure madness can make people Nectar for lightness and health, red chicken for preventing scabies and so on.It's a pity that this positive influence is as rare as that of supernatural beings. Most animals and plants are inedible.

Needless to say, poisonous things such as Gu worms, even those with a little common sense would not eat them.Even those who are not poisonous, the power of mountains and seas accumulated in them cannot be digested by humans, not even those with supernatural powers!Eating them, at best, is just like eating soil, if there is too much accumulation in the stomach, it will swell to death; in the worst case... Fortunately, Huo Qing has not encountered it yet.

What, you said bring in food from outside?In theory, this is feasible, but the problem is: first, the time of the door opening is not fixed, the size is not fixed, can you run around with a bag of food all day long?Second, even if it is food from outside, it will be eroded by the power of mountains and seas after being brought in for a long time, and it still has some side effects when eating.The supernatural beings are fine, but the bodies of ordinary people can't resist it.

So Huo Qing gave the last pack of compressed biscuits to the two children.It was specially made for their action team, and it contained Muhe fruit, which is extremely rare in the world of mountains and seas. It is not only edible, but also resistant to side effects to a certain extent.It's just that he didn't expect that boy's yang energy to be too weak. Even after eating Muhe biscuits, he still... knew that he shouldn't even give them the chestnuts.

As for the dried meat that he and Shao Jingxing ate, it was obtained locally in the world of mountains and seas.That's beef and fish meat. Although it's not tasty, it contains very little harmful substances. It's completely edible for people with supernatural powers. At most, it doesn't absorb much. Long-term consumption will lead to night blindness due to lack of nutrition. .

In the world of mountains and seas, this is already a rare good thing, at least it is much better than that beast meat that will subconsciously lie after eating it!

So when he found out that Shao Jingxing and the two children were eating black meat, he couldn't help but get angry - Shao Jingxing dared to eat a rabbit with such a weird human face!

It's just that the following facts are too surprising: the three of them ate a whole beast, and they can still speak the truth without any influence?If he hadn't already known what a black beast looks like, he would really suspect that he was wrong.

But when he came back with the piece of roasted meat, he knew that he was right—in the roasted meat, the power that would make people "eating words that are not true" completely disappeared, and its ingredients It's no different from normal rabbit meat - oh yes, it tastes a hundred times better than normal rabbit meat!

"When you do ideological work, you have to take your time." The man peeled off a handful of round and plump peas and threw them into a small basin, "Slow work brings meticulous work. Just like making this pea yellow, the raw materials must be carefully selected. Only by doing so can we make a good taste." He was also curious about this young man surnamed Shao.

Due to work reasons, the people in the special affairs department can't tell when they will enter the world of mountains and seas, and sometimes they have to fight a protracted battle.The front is fighting, but the food and grass in the rear cannot be supplied. Wood grains are too scarce to be mass-produced. Once the operators are trapped in the world of mountains and seas and cannot come out quickly, the supply will become a big problem.As for the method that can eliminate the power of mountains and seas in food, only this one has appeared so far...

This young man is simply a treasure, of course the man wants to get him here.But this kind of thing has to be voluntary, not to mention that Shao Jingxing is just an ordinary citizen, not as enlightened as Huo Qing.

Alas, awareness is something... The man raised his eyes and glanced at Huo Qing, sighing secretly - no one is born with awareness, Huo Qing is now like this, as a superior, he is of course very pleased, but as an elder, he is somewhat Distressed.

Huo Qing didn't pay attention to the man's eyes. He still lowered his head and peeled the peas neatly, saying, "It's not easy to talk in the hospital. I'll go find him again after he's discharged from the hospital in a few days."

"Don't worry too much." The man patted the crumbs on his hands, "Haste makes waste, there is no need to rush this matter. But the crack you found in the antique street this time is a bit strange-speaking of a place with a lot of people They are all specially reinforced, there shouldn't be cracks..." Otherwise, if a monster or something rushed out of the street, wouldn't the world be in chaos?

When the man said this, Huo Qing also stopped his hands: "Indeed, that's why I want to go again in the next few days. I also think that the crack is not normal, it doesn't seem to appear naturally."

The barrier that separates the two worlds is not a wall, but a bit like a safety net. As long as the big fish can't get through, it's normal for some small fish and shrimp to slip through the mesh occasionally.The "door" that Shao Jingxing fell into was actually a larger mesh, which was accidentally touched by him when it was fully opened.

But in a place like a city, the barrier has to be extra strengthened, which is equivalent to covering another layer of net outside the net. The mesh is intertwined, and even small fish can't get out.But Huo Qing found a crack in this kind of place, and it's not small!

The girl behind the counter also raised her head when she heard the words: "Didn't Brother Huo chase the poachers? Could it be their tricks? Besides, in places like Antique Street, 'that kind of thing' is originally just more..."

The so-called "that kind of thing" refers to things that have been eroded and affected by the power of mountains and seas. This is quite common in the so-called "Ming Artifacts" in antique shops, because places like tombs are probably due to Feng Shui. It is easy to accumulate the power of mountains and seas, which is one of the reasons why some ghosts and ghosts are mostly related to this.Of course, many of these rumors are actually false rumors, or false rumors, which is another matter.

The man shook his head: "Ji Xiaojiu, you didn't listen carefully during the training, did you? Because there are so many things like that, all antique streets and antique cities have to go through special treatment when they are built. You know 'that kind of thing' If there are too many, where will the country leave it alone?"

Miss Ji Xiaojiu stuck out her tongue and cast Huo Qing's help-seeking gaze.It's a pity that Huo Qing was deep in thought, so he didn't see it at all. Instead, he nodded and added, "And the few people I checked may not be poachers, they may just be grave robbers."

The poachers referred to by the special affairs department refer to people who also have special abilities, but with unruly intentions, illegally enter and leave the world of mountains and seas, or deliberately search for things that have been eroded and affected by the power of mountains and seas.

These people are similar to tomb robbers or cultural relic dealers in some ways, but quite a few of them have the ability to tear the barrier.If they are allowed to act recklessly, it will be like a mouse digging a hole, and it is very likely that the barrier will be riddled with holes or even collapse. Therefore, arresting them is also one of the daily tasks of the members of the special affairs department.

The man frowned slightly: "It's really not normal if this is the case. You check carefully. I hope it's not the worst."

The worst case is that the enchantment lasted too long and could no longer be maintained, resulting in cracks appearing in places that should not appear. This may be a sign that the entire enchantment cannot be maintained. It is not only a trouble, but may even be a disaster !

For such a big matter, Ji Xiaojiu also became serious: "I will come back from a business trip in a few days, Brother Huo, do you want to wait and take it over to have a look?"

To be honest, every time Huo Qing heard the name this girl gave her cat, he felt a headache—it’s a good Garfield, it’s not good to name it, if you have to call it vague, it sounds vague Like a group: "So far, I only met mountain spiders, so it's not too difficult." This wait will take at least two or three days, and he is afraid of delaying things.

"Don't be careless." The man urged, "If you feel something is wrong, don't be brave, and immediately contact Corey for reinforcements. Although the manpower is tight now, you can't do everything by yourself."

Huo Qing nodded, and after thinking about it, he couldn't help asking: "What if there is something wrong with the enchantment? After all, after thousands of years, nothing can be broken..."

This problem is also something that men have been worried about. Hearing this, he couldn't help pressing his temples: "I haven't found the isolation circle yet..." According to historical records, the isolation circle that Pangu set up was in Buzhou Mountain, but they searched for it. There were no clues several times. Could it be that Nuwa redesigned the magic circle and placed the eyes of the circle in other positions?There is no record of this in history.

Ji Xiaojiu murmured softly: "There are people who want to find them, not only don't help, but also make trouble..."

This involves a deeper issue. The man coughed lightly and didn't pick up the topic. He just patted Huo Qing: "Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover up, let's do our own thing first and then talk about it."

Huo Qing nodded: "I'll check it out tomorrow. Also, I'd like to ask you to pay more attention to the hospital." If something really went wrong with the barrier, they would probably have to go into the world of mountains and seas more, and Shao Jingxing would be even worse. important.

The very important Shao Jingxing didn't realize his own importance at this time, and he was eye-to-eye with the doctor: "...This, what you said is true?"

"Yes!" Coincidentally, the hospital he stayed in this time happened to be the one where he usually came for a physical examination.Private hospitals, many wealthy people in this city come here, including the boss of Hengyao.And in order to express his gratitude to Shao Jingxing, Hengyao paid for him to have a thorough physical examination even though he was not seriously injured.After checking, I found something...

"Look at these two films." The doctor who came over was surnamed Zhou, the chief physician here. Shao Jingxing has been looking for him for these years, and he was the one who handled the liver problem last time. Now he excitedly sent the two CT films. Point it out to him, "This is your previous one, here, here, it has spread. But look at this picture, the shadow here has disappeared! Have you had any treatment these days, or have you taken What medicine? The situation is improving!"

Speaking of which, although Shao Jingxing is a dude, he is still a pretty good person in Director Zhou's opinion.Moreover, he has made a lot of money from Shao Jingxing in these years. Director Zhou felt very sorry for his liver cancer when he was found to be in the middle and late stages. Now he suddenly found that his condition has improved significantly in just a few weeks. It is both surprising and joyful Curious again, he rushed over immediately.

"The shadow disappears...what do you mean?" Shao Jingxing couldn't understand these films, and most importantly, he knew that he hadn't received any treatment during this time, and because of the party, he even drank alcohol.Looking at what Director Zhou meant now, it turned out that he had gotten better. How could this be possible?

Director Zhou was very happy: "It means that the original metastases are gone! It was judged that you are in the middle and late stage because of the metastases. Now it seems that if the metastases can be controlled, then the lesion can be surgically removed. ! You——really haven’t taken any medicine?”

"No..." Shao Jingxing didn't dare to say that he had drunk alcohol, "I've been like this all the time, I thought there was no cure, so I can just do whatever I want..."

"Hey, hey, if this is the case, there is hope!" Director Zhou slapped his thigh, "This is also a miracle, you can't give up, it must be cured!"
