Chapter Eighteen Master Bai
Without paying attention to the person following behind, Xu Qing carried Captain Lei forward while taking out the white pill from the leather bag and feeding it to him.
Perhaps it was the effect of the white pill or the efficacy of the horse chestnut, gradually Lei's complexion no longer remained bluish-black.
It was just that the heterogeneity within his body was too intense. For the time being, Xu Qing's current white pill was not enough to completely suppress it.
So he was still in a coma. Clearly, everything he experienced during this trip to the restricted area had a great impact on him.
So... In the dead of night, on his way back, when Xu Qing once again encountered several scavengers trapped in the mist and in despair, at the cost of white pills, Xu Qing allowed them to follow behind him, listening to their footsteps as they moved forward.
Of course, there were still some blind people within him, but these people eventually became the reference for the followers behind Xu Qing to be glad about, and also made them hold Xu Qing in even greater awe.
Most people guessed that he should be the kind of person who was born with powerful mental strength.
Only such people can remain unrestricted in the fog.
Regarding this kind of people, Xu Qing had heard about it from Luan Ya before. It was also what he had thought of when he first saved Bai Dan. Therefore, with this cover, he wasn't worried about exposing his secrets.
The accumulation of more than ten white pills finally restored Captain Lei's complexion, changing from the previous bluish-black to cyan, and the strength of his breathing was also significantly greater than before.
At the same time, Xu Qing also discovered that the power of feedback from the shadow could not last long.
At this moment, as he moved forward, the mist perceived ahead was no longer as transparent as before, but gradually became blurred. It seemed that it wouldn't take long before it was almost the same as what others saw.
Fortunately, it's not very far from here to the outside.
So although his vision began to blur, as Xu Qing's speed increased, the darkness in the sky gradually dissipated. At the moment when the first sun rose and the dawn light fell upon the earth, he, carrying the Thunder Team on his back, finally saw through the gaps in the leaves and branches the world not far away.
Xu Qing's mood was in turmoil. With a flash of his body, he leaped over the border and walked out of the jungle.
The moment they crossed the cold and gloomy boundary, the wind outside, carrying warm sunlight, fell upon Xu Qing.
Because the light was so bright, his eyes involuntarily narrowed. Standing there, he took a deep breath of the air outside.
Meanwhile, the followers behind him also regained their vision as they approached the boundary.
One by one, with the excitement of a life-and-death struggle, they all rushed out.
The moment they stepped into the outside world, they were all overjoyed. One old man even knelt down directly and gently kissed the soil of the earth.
At this moment, they finally saw through Xu Qing's appearance and the Thunder Team behind him.
The former may not be well-known to many people, but the latter is known to all.
So when the images of Xu Qing and Captain Lei came into their view, their impressions of Xu Qing also emerged one after another.
"Kid!"
"Team Lei!"
The followers were all shaken, but as Xu Qing's gaze swept over them, they instinctively quieted down.
It was indeed Xu Qing's actions and indifference towards those with ill intentions along the way that had already intimidated them.
Ignoring them, Xu Qing withdrew his gaze, his body flickering as he was about to head straight for the camp. But just then, two figures from afar roared towards him and drew near at high speed.
It was the Cross and the Phoenix's tooth. They had already returned and were not waiting in the camp but were anxiously waiting outside.
They have also agreed that if Captain Lei and the others haven't come out today, they will have to go in again for search and rescue.
So when they saw Xu Qing's figure from afar, the two of them approached at full speed.
He even noticed the Thunder Team on Xu Qing's back. Cross's eyes suddenly contracted, but the next moment they landed on Xu Qing, they turned soft.
Luan Ya's expression also changed, and a murderous intent spread directly, sweeping towards those who had followed Xu Qing out.
Each of these people was breathing rapidly and on high alert.
It has nothing to do with them and it's also fortunate to them. Otherwise, Team Lei might not have been able to hold on.
Xu Qing spoke up, dispelled the murderous intent of Luan Ya. Those who had followed him out all heaved a sigh of relief. When they looked at Xu Qing, they were not only filled with awe but also gratitude. So they bowed to him and left one after another.
After they left, Cross stepped forward to help Captain Lei off Xu Qing, but was stopped by Xu Qing.
"Let Captain Lei sleep a little longer. I'm still okay." Xu Qing took a deep breath.
"Ok. Let's go back to the camp and take the team leader to see the doctor." Cross nodded, took out the white pill and fed it to Captain Lei. Accompanied by Luan Ya on either side, the three of them rushed towards the camp.
On the way, Luan Ya tried many times to speak up, but in the end, she couldn't hold back and asked a question.
"Where's the barbarian ghost? Is the Blood Shadow Team still in pursuit?"
Xu Qing was silent. After a while, he spoke softly.
"The barbarian ghost was alienated and died in battle."
This sentence made Cross and Luan Ya pause in their steps, their expressions silent. Even though they had mentally prepared themselves, the sadness in their eyes was still growing stronger, and Luan Ya was even more lost in thought.
It was not until Xu Qing's second sentence that their bodies gave a sudden jolt. They looked at Xu Qing in an instant, filled with disbelief.
"Blood Shadow Team, all wiped out."
Xu Qing lowered his head and spoke slowly as he moved forward.
"Is that why the captain's injury to the alien is so serious...?"
Luan Ya murmured as if she had an answer, but the cross beside her looked rather strange. He felt that this matter might not be the case, so he gave Xu Qing a deep look without asking any further questions.
Xu Qing didn't explain and didn't mention the matter of the singing. This was Captain Lei's secret. Whether to say it or not, he couldn't decide.
In this way, the three of them rushed all the way and soon returned to the camp. They immediately headed for the place where the famous doctor had been in the outside convoy during this period.
The appearance of the Thunder Team made all the people queuing there feel the sternness on them. Seeing the unconscious Thunder Team outside the doctor's tent, the person at the front immediately cleverly made way.
The members of the Thunder Team were soon the first to step into the tent.
The tent was very large and filled with a strong aroma of medicine. Inside, apart from some guards in iron armor, there was also a scavenger who was looking rather uneasy while seeing a doctor.
The doctor who treated him was a thin old man. He wore an ordinary but very clean grey robe, with wrinkles all over his face. However, his eyes were extremely bright and full of wisdom, like stars, as if they could see through people's hearts at a glance.
On either side of the old man sat a man and a woman respectively. The man was a young man of about Xu Qing's age, wearing a blue silk long gown and a black jade hairband in his hair. At his waist, there was a jade pendant with a dragon carving hanging down, and golden tassels were scattered around the edge of the cushion.
The young man was handsome and neatly dressed. But at this moment, he seemed a bit drowsy. One hand was resting on his chin, and the other was holding a medicine book. He seemed listless to read it and kept breathing.
On the other side, there was a girl of sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing a long blue dress. Under her long hair like a waterfall was a typical oval face, with snow-white skin and a beautiful and elegant appearance.
A pair of bright and clear eyes, as bright as stars, noticed the young man dozing off beside her at this moment. She smiled slightly and looked down at the pharmacopoeia in her hand.
Just in that smile, her eyes curved like crescent moons, as if that spiritual charm also overflowed.
And in every frown and smile, the noble expression on her naturally reveals itself, making people can't help but marvel at her elegant and refined radiance.
This pair of golden boy and jade girl possess a kind of purity that scavengers have hardly ever seen before, which made Luanya feel somewhat ashamed. Even the cross made her take a few more glances.
As for Xu Qing, he looked at the medicine books in their hands, a trace of envy showing in his eyes, but quickly withdrew his gaze and focused more on the doctor in front.
At this moment, the doctor gave a few instructions to the scavenger who was seeking medical treatment. As the scavenger left gratefully, he washed his hands in the copper basin beside him and raised his head to look at Xu Qing and the others.
His gaze swept over, first falling on Xu Qing, seemingly carrying some profound meaning. Then, he looked at the Thunder Team on his back and spoke slowly.
Put him down.
For some reason, Xu Qing felt a bit nervous under the old man's gaze, as if he had returned to the slum to face the teacher.
So, with the help of the cross, the two carefully lowered Captain Lei and laid him flat in front of the old man.
At this moment, Captain Lei gradually regained consciousness. He was taken aback when he saw the tent and also saw the doctor, Xu Qing and others. Just as he was about to get up, the old doctor spoke indifferently.
Lie down.
These words made Captain Lei look at the doctor. After their eyes met, Captain Lei remained silent but still got up. With the support of the Cross, he bowed to the doctor.
"It's a bit of an injury. They still sent me here, not to cause any trouble for Master Bai. I'm fine."
Do you know me? The old doctor was somewhat puzzled and looked at Captain Lei.
Many years ago, I once caught a glimpse of Master Bai from afar. Captain Lei nodded a little, very respectfully.
Master Bai gave Captain Lei a deep look and spoke slowly.
Your recent injury is nothing serious. The heterogeneity within your body has also been suppressed, so it's not a big deal. As for the mental exhaustion, it's obvious that your emotions have been fluctuating too much recently, which has damaged your heart meridian.
All these combined, although a bit troublesome, are still manageable and can be cured. But... these are not the key points.
The key point is the hidden injury in your body from many years ago. You must have had your foundation revoked in your early years. The cultivation you have now must have been recultivated. It's not easy to reach this level with your foundation revoked.
It's just that when all these are combined, you've exhausted everything. Ordinary medicine is hard to cure, and I'm powerless. I'll give you a dose of medicine. How much it can cure you depends on your fate.
"But remember, from now on, you mustn't continue to practice breathing exercises. Otherwise, if the number of heterogeneous substances increases again and the hidden injuries recur, then... you will surely die." "
As soon as Master Bai spoke, Cross and Luan Ya fell silent. It was obvious that they knew the foundation of the Lei Team had once been abolished. Xu Qing was unaware of this. Looking at the Lei team, he suddenly recalled the pair of blood-red women's boots in the singing inside the penalty area.
Is there no other way? Cross asked in a low voice.
"Sure. If we can find a rare treasure like the Heavenly Destiny Flower, we can naturally have another life. I heard that there was a plant in this nearby restricted area many years ago." "
The cross was silent. There was anxiety in Luan Ya's eyes. Xu Qing looked at Captain Lei, but compared to them, Captain Lei's expression was calm and he gave a slight smile.
"It's not that serious. It's all old problems. I won't disturb Master Bai anymore." Captain Lei said this and bowed to Master Bai, greeting Xu Qing and the others to leave.
Xu Qing and the other two successively thanked Master Bai and left with the prescription given by him.
Xu Qing, who had something on his mind, didn't know if he was just having an illusion. He felt that when he thanked and left, Master Bai's gaze towards him carried a hint of scrutiny.
All along the way, the Thunder Team remained silent.
After returning to the residence of the Thunder Team, Cross and Luan Ya wanted to say something, but were sent away by the Thunder Team.
It was not until they left that Captain Lei took out some tobacco from the house, then pulled out a pipe from his leather bag, stuffed it in and lit it, taking a deep drag.
As he exhaled the smoke, he let out a long sigh of relief, looked at Xu Qing's concerned expression, waved the pipe in his hand and spoke with a smile.
"I can't remember to smoke in the restricted area, but when I come back, taking a puff is really comfortable. This thing works better than any medicine." "
Xu Qing was just about to speak.
What would you like to eat today? I'll cook a meal for you... Have a drink with me. Captain Lei didn't ask Xu Qing to speak out. It seemed that he didn't want to listen. Xu Qing just looked at him silently. After a while, he nodded.
"Eat snakes."
