Chapter 143 Old Man Luo Gets a Blood Clot

Lin Cheng was actually present at the blessing ceremony, however, he was standing quite far away.

In addition, he was so preoccupied with his master's illness that he had no time to care what the mysterious celestial messenger actually looked like.

As for Zhao Rui, he only rushed here after the prayer ceremony ended, so he naturally did not have the opportunity to see Su Yue.

Seeing that his junior brother was so certain, Zhao Rui let the person in, and then followed him in.

He had to keep a close eye on this person at all times, making sure that no one harmed his master.

As soon as Su Yue stepped into the room, a pungent and strong medicinal smell hit her, instantly making her feel uncomfortable.

Could it be that someone is brewing medicine in the house?

He subconsciously raised his sleeve and quickly covered his mouth and nose.

After the pungent smell subsided a little, she finally looked closely at the bed.

On the bed lay a gaunt, haggard old man.

If one doesn't look closely, it would be difficult to recognize that this person is the same old man, Mr. Luo, who argued with her all day long on the road during their escape from famine.

At this moment, he was no longer the man he once was; he looked completely emaciated, so thin that he could barely produce enough oil to press out two ounces of fat.

Upon seeing this, Su Yue's heart tightened. She quickly walked to the bedside and anxiously called out to Old Man Luo on the bed twice, "Old man! Old man!"

However, the person on the bed seemed completely unresponsive and motionless.

Just as Su Yue thought that the man might have died, she suddenly noticed that Old Luo's eyelids twitched slightly a few times.

After a long while, those cloudy eyes finally focused with difficulty and slowly opened.

When he realized that the person standing in front of him was a pretty and delicate young girl, a look of surprise first appeared on his face, and then a faint smile appeared on his lips.

He murmured weakly and hoarsely, "Huh? Am I dead? They say only Ox-Head and Horse-Face come to take away people's souls, but why is it someone else today?"

Upon closer inspection, this girl does resemble that young girl quite a bit, only she looks more refined.

Su Yue slapped away the old man Luo's hand that was reaching out to pinch her face, and said rudely, "Hey, you old geezer, take a good look. Are there any ghosts as good-looking as me in the underworld?"

I think you're really delirious from your illness. Aren't you supposed to be saving people?

How did you end up looking like this? Look how skinny you are, you wouldn't even make two ounces of oil. Your old life still depends on me.

Tell me how you're going to repay me.

Zhao Rui was staring intently at Su Yue, but when he saw Su Yue actually push Old Man Luo's hand away, he almost rushed forward.

Just as he was about to step forward and reprimand him, Lin Cheng immediately reached out and stopped him.

At the same time, Old Man Luo, who had only slightly opened his eyes, opened them even wider upon hearing Su Yue's voice.

An expression of disbelief crossed his face, and he exclaimed in surprise, "It's Mao Yatou?" Then, his voice rose a few octaves as he confirmed again, "Mao Yatou, it's Mao Yatou!"

Su Yue took out a bottle containing spiritual spring water from her spatial storage and walked to Old Man Luo's side.

Gently lift his head, slowly bring the bottle opening close to his mouth, and feed him some spiritual spring water.

"Hmph, at least you old man have some eyesight, you didn't mistake me for some kind of ox-headed or horse-faced demon." Su Yue said sarcastically while feeding him the spiritual spring water.

"Oh dear, look at you! The day we parted, you were so full of ambition and high spirits. Who would have thought you'd be lying here in such a sorry state? You're such a worrywart old man!"

Su Yue looked at Old Man Luo, her words still sharp, but a hint of concern showed in her eyes.

After drinking a few mouthfuls of spiritual spring water, Old Man Luo clearly felt that his mental state had improved a lot, and his originally pale face gradually regained some color.

Old Luo knew that Su Yue was saying this on purpose, so he wasn't angry at all; on the contrary, he was quite pleased.

"I know that little girl was worried about this old man. Cough cough~ I'm so glad to see you again. It's my fate not to die." Old Luo felt that he had regained his strength after drinking that mouthful of spiritual spring water.

Su Yue glanced at Old Man Luo and then gently placed her hand on his wrinkled and slightly withered wrist to feel his pulse.

Immediately afterwards, she took a deep breath and began to mobilize the wisps of spiritual energy within her body, carefully controlling them to flow slowly into Old Man Luo's meridians.

However, just as the spiritual energy entered Old Man Luo's blood vessels and began to flow, it seemed to encounter an obstacle and its path was blocked instantly.

Seeing this, even Su Yue couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Old Luo is really lucky to be alive!

You know, if it had been a few days later, even if a celestial being descended to earth, it would have been difficult to bring him back to life.

Not only was Old Man Luo fully aware of this dire situation, but his two apprentices were also well aware of it.

Before this, they had tried every possible method to save their master, including oral medication and acupuncture, but the results were still unsatisfactory.

The reason is simply that there are too many and too complicated blockages inside Old Luo's body.

There are so many that it's overwhelming; even they would probably feel helpless in the face of such a thorny problem.

Despite the fact that many of his blood vessels were blocked, she patiently and attentively used her spiritual energy to slowly and meticulously clear the blockages in Old Man Luo's blood vessels.

Time passed by second by second, and before we knew it, an hour had quietly slipped away.

Now, the final crucial moment has arrived—unblocking the blood vessels located at the top of the head.

Since the head is a vital part of everyone's body, even the slightest carelessness can lead to irreversible consequences.

Therefore, Su Yue had to be extra careful, and she was extremely cautious in outputting and guiding every bit of spiritual energy. Moreover, she felt that this might be a blood clot.

After a lot of hard work, Su Yue finally succeeded in the initial unblocking of the blood vessels in Old Luo's head.

However, relying solely on this one instance of spiritual energy channeling is clearly far from sufficient.

According to Su Yue's assessment, someone as seriously injured as Old Man Luo would need at least three more sessions of her help to clear his obstruction.

Otherwise, those blood vessels that have been painstakingly cleared may become blocked again.

Thinking of this, Su Yue gently wiped away the fine beads of sweat that had seeped from her forehead.

Now, Old Luo's blood vessels are like a sewer, clogged with garbage.

Even if you clean up the trash, the grime stuck to the drain isn't completely removed, and it will clog again over time.

Only by cleaning it thoroughly can it be prevented from getting clogged again.
