Chapter 286 Substitute
The process of drawing talismans is also extremely energy-consuming.
Every time Zhang Yuan drew a talisman, his face became paler. After he finished drawing all 13 talismans, Zhang Yuan's face turned pale and he looked as if he could not even stand steadily.
At this time, Zhang Yuan still had two pills left.
Without hesitation, he stuffed both pills into his mouth in one breath, and then took deep breaths continuously.
After standing there for more than 10 minutes, his complexion finally recovered a little. At this time, Zhang Yuan had no time to hesitate.
While letting the medicine absorb quickly, he raised his hand, picked up a talisman, chanted a spell, and stuck it next to a silver needle.
As the first talisman was applied, Zhang Yuan's face turned paler again, but he didn't care.
Now it has reached a white-hot stage, and I must go all out. Then the second talisman, the third talisman... a total of 2 talismans were all pasted on Wang Lu's body.
Just when the last talisman was put on.
Zhang Yuan's face was as pale as paper, his eyelids seemed to have no strength to lift, his lips were black and purple, and his arms were shaking constantly, but Zhang Yuan still firmly placed the talisman in the exact position.
At this moment, Wang Lu felt so uncomfortable that his eyes turned red.
Zhang Yuan risked his life for him time and time again. This was really touching. Wang Lu had never felt so touched before.
Because he has experienced countless hardships since he was a child, and others have tried every possible way to plot against and persecute him.
Only his master treated him the best, but even so, his master never risked his life for him.
But Zhang Yuan is different. In order to help himself get rid of all the poison in his body, from the silver needles in the beginning, to drawing talismans, and now, sticking the talismans on his body while chanting spells, every step almost consumes all his strength.
However, this guy still resolutely tried his best to complete each step to the extreme, so much so that after sticking the last talisman, he could not even stand steadily and looked haggard.
How could this not move people? How could this not move people?
It seems that my deduction that I owe Zhang Yuan a life is not just a cold deduction result, but also a touching story that makes my blood boil. It is an unforgettable existence in my life.
"Dr. Zhang, you, you really touched me. No wonder we became close friends in the rest of our lives, even the kind who would risk their lives for each other anytime, anywhere.
You've sacrificed so much for me. From now on, I, Wang Lu, will truly owe you my life, Doctor Zhang. As long as you're in danger, as long as you need me, Wang Lu will absolutely sacrifice my life without hesitation."
As he continued to think in this direction, Wang Lu found that his mentality was actually unstable. At this time, he remembered what Zhang Yuan had reminded him before.
You must keep a calm mind no matter what. Even if Zhang Yuan faints, even if he falls directly to the ground, you, Wang Lu, must keep a calm mind and do your best to carry out the detoxification plan to the end.
After Wang Lu realized this, he quickly closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing. He didn't dare to look at Zhang Yuan's miserable appearance anymore because he couldn't bear it and saw him so pitiful.
Just at the moment Wang Lu closed his eyes.
Zhang Yuan fell limply to the ground, no longer having any strength left. He fainted, and even his breathing became weak.
Wang Lu, on the other hand, silently felt the pain gradually building up in his body.
That's right, he didn't feel any pain before, but after all 13 talismans were completely affixed, every part of his body felt pain. At this moment, Wang Lu finally understood why Zhang Yuan did all this.
Now all the poisons in his body may have been attacked strongly and are being expelled frantically, so the pain is extremely cruel and terrifying. Wang Lu is grimacing in pain.
Soon he began to laugh, and the smile became more and more intense, as if the more the pain tormented him, the more excited he became.
After more than half an hour, a layer of blood, extremely dark blood, seeped out of Wang Lu's body.
The smell of blood was so strong that Wang Lu felt dizzy just by smelling it.
But he couldn't care less. He remembered everything Zhang Yuan had told him. At this moment, his body no longer felt the bone-wrenching pain as before.
Wang Lu knew the time had come and it was time for him to go to the bathroom and take a bath.
He slowly stood up and found that the acupuncture points that had been blocked by 13 silver needles were now unblocked. It seemed that the power of the talisman and the silver needles had penetrated into his body.
So the blockade force was naturally lifted, and they were all used to fight the poison in his body.
But even so, it still hurts excruciatingly when I stand up and move my body.
After getting up from his seat, Wang Lu moved slowly. When he walked in front of the unconscious Zhang Yuan, Wang Lu gritted his teeth, squatted down, and used all his strength to put his fingers between Zhang Yuan's nostrils.
Just a perception made Wang Lu's nose ache, his eyes became misty, and his heart ached.
"Dr. Zhang is such a ruthless man who doesn't care about his own life. In order to remove the poison from me and cure my illness, he actually only managed to hang on to his life with half a breath."
Wang Lu really wanted to treat Zhang Yuan and help him recover some strength. At this moment, Zhang Yuan's reminder at the beginning once again rang in his mind:
Don't worry about him, don't worry about anything, just go to the bathroom and get in the tub for a medicinal bath.
Wang Lu took two deep breaths, suppressed the extremely uncomfortable feeling in his heart, gritted his teeth, stood up, and went to the bathroom.
Entering the bathroom, Wang Lu looked at the medicine barrel sealed with plastic wrap and the temperature displayed on it, and his heart felt extremely warm. He slowly tore off the plastic wrap, slowly entered the bathtub, and sat down to meditate.
As Wang Lu sat down in meditation, all the medicinal juice just covered Wang Lu's whole body, even his neck, and the water surface just reached his chin.
This made Wang Lu deeply moved again. It seemed that Doctor Zhang had even considered such details.
It’s not easy, it’s really not easy. I, Wang Lu, really owe you a lot of favors!
Sitting in this medicinal bath tub, Wang Lu instantly felt the pain in his body dissipating rapidly. Endless medicinal power flowed into his body through his limbs and bones, nourishing his body.
As time slowly passed, Wang Lu could feel that the poison that had been tormenting him in his body was being taken away step by step, and was being replaced by immense power and energy.
Wang Lu did not hesitate. He sat in the medicine barrel and devoted himself to cultivation, silently reciting the mental method to enable his body to reach the best absorption state.
This wait lasted for three hours.
When Wang Lu stood up from the medicine barrel at the right time, even Wang Lu himself did not notice that all the silver needles on his body had fallen off.
The bucket of fragrant medicinal bath liquid had now turned as black as ink, just like a bucket of ink, and it also emitted a foul smell.
Wang Lu hurried out of the medicine barrel and went to the shower room to take a shower. After washing himself clean, Wang Lu found that his skin was much smoother and whiter than before, and his breathing was so smooth, as if all the muscles and bones in his body had been tempered. He felt like he was reborn.
After taking a shower and putting on a bathrobe, Wang Lu walked out of the bathroom quickly. At this time, he saw Zhang Yuan trying to reach for the water cup on the table, but because he was too weak, he couldn't reach it.
Wang Lu immediately rushed forward, helped Zhang Yuan up, and handed the cup to Zhang Yuan, saying, "Godfather, please accept my greetings!!!"
After saying that, Wang Lu actually knelt on one knee in front of Zhang Yuan and kowtowed to him very seriously.
Wang Lu's exaggerated behavior made Zhang Yuan laugh.
Holding the water cup with trembling fingers, he said:
"Old Wang, please don't do this. I'm young and I don't have a big body like you."
Wang Lu didn't care at all. He quickly stepped forward to support Zhang Yuan, holding the water cup for him and saying:
"Dr. Zhang, I, Wang Lu, have no way of repaying your kindness, so I can only accept you as my adoptive father. I'm not kidding you.
You...you are really like my reborn parents.
Now you have driven out all the poison from my body. It feels so damn comfortable. It feels so good.
How are you? Are you feeling better? How long will it take to recover?
Zhang Yuan smiled and said:
"I don't need to recover. I have to go to the next theater and perform."
Wang Lu looked confused:
"Why rush to the next theater? In your weakest state, is that even possible?"
Zhang Yuan smiled and said:
"No, this is exactly what I want. Everything is within my calculations, so just leave me alone.
Okay, go do what you should do. From now on, the sea is wide enough for fish to leap and the sky is high enough for birds to fly.
Nothing can hold you back anymore, Wang Lu.
I believe that from now on, you will be able to make great strides and rapid progress in both the art of incantation and the way of Taoism. When we meet again, you must teach me more, and you can't be stingy and not teach me."
Wang Lu was so moved that he couldn't even describe it, but he suppressed it and said jokingly:
"Dr. Zhang, you really flatter me.
But thanks to your good wishes, I believe I should be able to achieve some results.
As for what your next theater will be, I won’t ask too much. I know it anyway, hahaha.
Since you still want to learn something from me, next time I will teach you the art of Qimen and Taoist deduction.
Although these things are quite difficult to learn, they should be no problem with your talent. However, I really need to carry out my mission now. I need to go to Qingyun Temple."
Zhang Yuan nodded with satisfaction and said:
"Okay. Now it's up to you. Be careful when you go to Qingyun Temple. If you get poisoned or injured again, don't be afraid. I'll take care of everything."
Wang Lu patted Zhang Yuan on the shoulder:
"Brother, I feel much more at ease with your words.
Do you remember what I said when we first met?"
Zhang Yuan smiled and said:
"Of course I remember. When we first met, you told me that we would be close friends in the future.
It seems you really got it right. At the time, I just thought you were a charlatan, but I didn't expect you to have some real skills."
Wang Lu laughed heartily:
"Then I'll tell you about the future. In the future, we'll not only be close friends, but also friends for life and death. The kind that can risk our lives for each other anytime, anywhere. Hahaha, then goodbye. Next time we meet, let's not leave until we're drunk."
Zhang Yuan smiled and said:
"Okay, I won't go home until I'm drunk."
After saying this, Zhang Yuan waved his hand and said goodbye to Wang Lu, who turned and left.
But after taking three steps, Wang Lu suddenly stopped, looked at Zhang Yuan thoughtfully and said:
"Doctor Zhang, I'm still worried. I'm really worried that your life is in danger. I just did another deduction for you, and I found that you will still face many disasters in the future, and there will be several life-threatening situations, so I can't care so much anymore."
After saying this, Wang Lu opened his schoolbag and took out a thick booklet, which was entirely handwritten.
On the cover of the booklet it was written - Qimen uses talismans to represent one's body.
