Chapter 158: Resurrection
from the Death
I felt that time had passed for thousands of years, and it seemed that in just a moment, my consciousness slowly came back. My first feeling was pain, and my whole body felt like a piercing pain. This feeling made me know that I was still alive - I didn't know that it was painful when I died. It was such a happy thing. I could survive such a landslide! I even thought: I finally understood what "pain and happiness" is...
I had no time to think about it because I found that my condition was so bad that I felt like a huge rock was pressed on my eyelids. I couldn't open it no matter how hard I tried. I didn't know where I was, but I was sure that this was not the foot of the mountain where something happened, because I felt very cold all over my body, the kind of cold that was so thoroughly marrow that I could even feel a trace of cold air surrounding my body. Although I couldn't even move a little finger at this moment, I felt quite keen when I practiced Longteng for a long time.
I tried to use my true energy to drive away the cold of myself. It was really strange. Since I practiced Longteng, I rarely felt so cold. I don’t know what the environment I am in. I really want to open my eyes to see my surroundings, but no matter how active my consciousness is now, my body is not under my control.
In desperation, I had to use my mind to push the true qi to run slowly. I soon discovered that the true qi had also changed. If we use density and volume to describe it, the volume of the Longteng true qi in my body reduced to about half of the original, but the density increased by more than three times, and there was a vague sense of substance. Moreover, there was a force similar to Longteng in my heart that was constantly entering my body. The Longteng true qi immediately divided up a part of it and greeted it with joy, and soon absorbed the force...
If I could move now, my expression would be stunned. Unfortunately, my eyes could not be glaring now, and my mouth could not be wide open. I could only continue to observe the true qi in my body in the extreme shock of my heart. Without careful observation, I knew that I had taken a step further in Longteng's cultivation, and it was an incredible big step. I still couldn't understand why this was happening.
When I came back from my surprise, I realized that the true qi in my body was busy absorbing this external force. As long as a trace of power enters the body, they would swarm and no one needed to control it. It was because of this that the wounds on my body could not be repaired. I sighed in my heart, divided a small part of the true qi with my mind, and ran according to the route of practicing qi, repairing my injured meridians, skin, and bones along the way...
I don’t know how long it took, but I recovered from that state of selflessness. At this time, I felt that my body was in good condition. The scorching pain was so small that it could be ignored. The broken ribs had also recovered for half. The rest had to be kept in the future. The most important thing was that since Longteng’s true energy began to run, the cold feeling around my body had disappeared without a trace, and the whole body was warm under Longteng’s bath.
Finally, I slowly opened my eyes, without the dazzling bright light as I imagined, and it was still dark in my eyes. However, I could vaguely see the things around me by wiping the dragon true energy. I found that there was really a hint of cold air around me. Because my body temperature has risen now, under the influence of the temperature difference, I saw that there was white mist around me, and I felt like I was lying in an ice cellar. What is this place? Why did I appear here?
Just when I was puzzled, I felt someone coming, and to be precise, I heard the footsteps of two people. One of them was still very familiar with me, but I couldn't remember who it was. There was actually someone nearby. Could it be that I was really locked in an ice cellar? Why is this happening? I remember that before I was unconscious, I was hit hard by a stone and buried alive by the collapsed mountain. Did that disaster bring me to another parallel world...
As I was thinking about it, the footsteps were getting closer and closer. Suddenly, I felt a slight vibration in my body. Then I saw a soft light. Then I saw a man wearing a mask and a white coat looking down at me. He sighed and said to himself:
"Chief Staff Lu, I know you are not upset. You are leaving so young, but you sacrificed for the army and for your comrades. Your relatives and friends will be proud of you. Today, a friend of yours came to see you from Beijing, so you can close your eyes with peace of mind..."
I died with my eyes open. Under the shock of my mind, I saw a pair of big hands covering it. Although it was only a moment ago, I guessed the issue with a sudden change. It must be that I was buried by sand and stones and my comrades dug me out. After I was sent to the hospital, I didn’t know what my body was in. Anyway, I was declared dead. The place I was just now... was the freezer in the hospital morgue... When I thought of this, I couldn’t help but feel chills in my heart!
Those hands were already stroking my face. Obviously he was a hospital staff member, and he might have seen a lot of things about opening his eyes to dead people. But I knew that I couldn't move at this moment, otherwise I would definitely scare people. So I cooperated to follow the movements of his hands and closed my eyes. I knew that there was another friend coming to see me, and I came from Beijing. Sure enough, I heard a slight noise, and then I smelled a familiar fragrance. It turned out to be Zhong Jie...
Although I closed my eyes, I clearly felt her staring at my face. After a while, Zhong Jie's voice sounded in the empty morgue, and she said tremblingly:
"You go out first, I want to stay alone with Changfeng for a while..."
The staff member hesitated for a moment and said:
"Staff Secretary Zhong, this is the morgue. You... don't need me to accompany you?"
Zhong Jie said tiredly:
"No need, you're waiting for me outside, I'll go out in a while, thank you!"
"……All right!"
Then I heard a sound of footsteps gradually fading away, and then there was a dead silence. I knew Zhong Jie was watching me, but when I thought of the "neighbors" in the cabinet beside me, I felt a little embarrassed. I really didn't expect that Zhong Jie was quite brave.
Just as I was thinking about it, one hand gently fell on my cheek, and my fingers were so smooth and slender. I knew this was Zhong Jie's hand, and Zhong Jie said softly:
"Changfeng... You are so cruel. You just left like that... Do you know that I regret the agreement I made with you now? Otherwise, I would have the chance to see you... I never thought that parting would be our eternal note..."
Speaking of this, this usually strong girl couldn't help but sobbed, and I felt sorry for her, but then I thought, she was sad for me, but in fact I was not dead, so why should I be sad? I should try to find a way to calmly accept the fact that I was resurrected from the dead...
At this time, Zhong Jie's hand was still on my face, and her tears fell on my face one by one. I suddenly felt blessed to my heart, and tried my best to control my body to shake slightly, then frowned slightly. Of course, the range of movement was also very small. But I knew that Zhong Jie could see it.
Sure enough, Zhong Jie's sob stopped suddenly. After a while, she shouted loudly:
"Doctor! Doctor! I saw him move..."
Her voice was full of joy, but suddenly this sound came from the empty morgue, and a little cold air came from the freezer where I was. I thought of my neighbors again for no reason, and this time I also thought of the former resident of this freezer...
The sound of rapid footsteps came immediately outside the door, and the doctor asked anxiously:
"Director Zhong, are you okay?"
Zhong Jie's voice trembled a little, and she said excitedly:
"Doctor, Changfeng...he is not dead! I saw him move just now, really!"
The doctor sighed and said:
"Director Zhong, I understand your feelings very much, but this is impossible. Chief Lu has passed away for a day and a night. The chief physician of our general hospital personally issued a death appraisal, and the funeral home has already been decorating a mourning hall..."
Zhong Jie said anxiously:
"I know everything you said! But I really saw Changfeng moving, and he frowned..."
The doctor was still unmoved, he said:
"Director Zhong, calm down. I understand your mood, but I can only tell you that those are your hallucinations. I think you can't accept the fact that Chief Lu passed away for the time being... Chief Lu left, and we are all sad. Just look at the soldiers who kept watch over him all night in the simple mourning hall outside. Let's do this, I'll send you back to the hotel to rest and calm down your mood!"
I cursed in my heart: "What the hell is the doctor! I made a conclusion without even looking at it..."
Zhong Jie ignored the doctor's dissuasion. She rushed to me, shook me hard, and said excitedly:
"Changfeng, wake up! I know you are not dead. I know what I saw just now was not hallucinations. Why didn't the doctor believe me?"
"Xiao Jie, stop!"
A familiar voice came from the door. It was Mr. Zhong. After learning about my "death" by himself, Mr. Zhong came to Fuzhou in person. From the doctor's words just now, I knew that this was the Fuzhou General Hospital of Nanjing Military Region. I couldn't help but feel moved.
The doctor also came over and dissuaded:
"Director Zhong, please let go! Don't disturb the peace of the deceased..."
Zhong Jie slowly let go of her hand. The cabinet I was in moved. I knew that the "hazardous" doctor was about to push me in. I couldn't miss it. I quickly used the same trick again. My body trembled slightly and frowned again, for fear that the doctor would not see it. This time I moved my lips gently...
I obviously felt the doctor's hand pushing the cabinet suddenly tremble, and I felt very calm - it seemed that he had discovered the situation! After staying for a few seconds, the doctor quickly dragged out of the cabinet, and then, a trembling finger slowly reached under my nose. I understood and controlled my breathing, making him feel that my breathing was very weak, vague. Sure enough, the finger quickly retracted, and he said in a trembling voice:
"Chief! Director Zhong, Lu... Chief of Staff Lu seems to be breathing... But the hospital's equipment is very advanced, and Director Chen is experienced, so it is impossible to make a misjudgment..."
Mr. Zhong's voice was still very calm, he said:
"Now is not the time to hold the responsibility accountable, organize rescue immediately!"
After saying that, he also strode to me, gently reached out to explore my breath, and then shouted loudly:
"What are you still standing there? Get Changfeng out of the freezer, Xiaojie, you immediately inform the director of the General Hospital and ask him to organize an expert group to consult Changfeng and prepare for the operation!"
Zhong Jie was stunned for a moment and ran out stumbled. The doctor hurriedly dragged me out and placed it on a single bed. When I thought that this bed in the morgue was most likely used to push the body in, I felt disgusted.
After a while, I heard a mess of footsteps, and an old voice said:
"Chief! I heard that Chief of Staff Lu has survived..."
I said to myself:
"What do you mean I'm alive again? I'm not dead at all!"
This should be the dean. The matter was too strange, which led to the old expert being a little incoherent. Although I had tried my best, I was still shocked. After not continuing to stay in the freezer and accompany the corpse, I was very calm and let those people mercy! But I still had to control my body and could only reveal a little sign of life, which was enough for me to be busy.
After my mind calmed down, I realized that the power in my chest was still entering my body continuously, but its strength had decreased. My Longteng true energy was more than twice as powerful as before. Although it was still a certain distance from the realm of "Nine Heavens Enveloping the Moon", compared with the past, I have almost been reborn now. I don't know where that strange power came from, but from the current situation, it is beneficial to me.
I was quickly moved to the special care unit, and soon the medical staff put on an oxygen mask on me, and various instruments were connected to my body to monitor my vital signs. With my current ability, I could easily hide my true situation and pretend to be a person on the verge of death. In the future treatment process, even if my recovery speed exceeds that of ordinary people, it would not cause more surprises.
A sharp-eyed doctor exclaimed:
