Chapter 146: The Longevity Lamp
~
Ruan Zhao didn't explain his doubts, but continued, "Yu Genzhu, your identity has been exposed. Do you think that if you conceal those little people, they will let your family go?
Have you forgotten the Nanjing Massacre? They are not of our race, and they naturally despise us. Do you think they will have any mercy on you, a useless abandoned child?
Yu Guangjie's expression changed, and he asked in surprise again. "What do you know?"
Ruan Zhao directly expressed his concerns, "Your wife and children in the countryside are in their hands, right?
Judging from the way they act, they will definitely die regardless of whether you confess this time or not.
Instead of doing this, why don't you cooperate with the troops and capture them, so that your wife and children may have a chance of survival?"
Yu Guangjie's eyes moved, and he was obviously persuaded.
Seeing this, Ruan Zhao continued, "Yu Guangjie, you should know our troops. They never target innocent people.
With what you have done, whether you confess or not, the final outcome will be death. But your wife and children are innocent. Do you want them to die with you?
You forgot that your first wife remained a widow for more than ten years, and your two sons have always been proud of you."
"Stop talking!" Yu Guangjie's face was in pain and he closed his eyes tightly.
Ruan Zhao knew that he had wavered and just needed time to make a decision, so he didn't say anything else.
The room fell silent again. Ten minutes later, Yu Guangjie finally lowered his head and murmured, "Can you really rescue my wife and child?"
Ruan Zhao frowned and gave Wu Rui a look. Wu Rui immediately stepped forward and said solemnly, "As long as you can provide enough information, we will do our best to rescue them."
“…Okay, I’ll tell you…”
~
After coming out of the house, Wu Rui hurried to see Commander Wu.
Ruan Zhao also breathed a sigh of relief and could no longer hold on to the wall.
Fortunately, I didn't use my spiritual power for long, so I wasn't seriously injured.
But thinking about the heavy rain and mudslides that would come later, she felt that her current condition was not enough to solve the problem.
No, she must recover her strength immediately. Yu Guangjie has already surrendered, and once the news gets out, Lu Yan will have to leave too.
Thinking of this, Ruan Zhao decided to go find Lu Yan now.
~
In the dormitory, Lu Yan had just returned from a meeting when he heard that someone was looking for him.
"Report to the division commander, a female comrade named Ruan is looking for you outside and asked you to ask for leave."
When Lu Yan heard that it was Ruan Zhao looking for him, he arranged his subordinates' matters and rushed straight to the gate.
As soon as I walked out of the door, I saw Ruan Zhao leaning against the wall with a pale face.
Lu Yan's eyes tightened, and he quickly walked over to support her. "What's wrong? Wasn't she much better this morning?"
Ruan Zhao grabbed his hand, his tone a little anxious. "Lu Yan, take me back to the dormitory first."
Seeing her serious expression, Lu Yan stopped asking. "Okay."
After that, Lu Yan went to the duty room to make a phone call. A few minutes later, his driver drove over.
With the car, the two returned to the dormitory quickly.
~
Ruan Zhao took a deep breath, locked the door, and pulled Lu Yan directly onto the bed.
Seeing that she was anxious but had no lust in her eyes, Lu Yan couldn't help but ask, "What happened?"
Ruan Zhao explained simply, "Well, something is about to happen, so you have to heal my injury quickly."
After saying that, Ruan Zhao didn't wait for Lu Yan's response. He took the initiative to move over and covered his lips.
Lu Yan didn't know what was going on and was a little amused and helpless about Ruan Zhao's initiative.
The soft touch was like a feather brushing across his heart, stimulating Lu Yan's blood and energy, and he quickly got into the mood.
But it was his first time after all, and many things were not under his control. As soon as the arrow was strung, Lu Yan became impatient.
What Ruan Zhao wanted was his arousal. The higher Lu Yan's desire, the stronger the purple energy in his body would be. She just had to cooperate with him to help him release it.
She closed her eyes and felt the thick purple air entering her body, merging with her spiritual energy, and then transforming into spiritual power bit by bit, filling her blood.
The fatigue in my body and the pain caused by the injury are also gradually recovering.
In order to repair the injuries to his soul as quickly as possible, Ruan Zhao took the risk of mobilizing his spiritual power and actively absorbed the purple energy from Lu Yan.
Although she would feel some pain at first because she could not bear the impact of the spiritual energy, Ruan Zhao knew that as long as she could endure this stage, her injuries would be completely healed.
Seeing Ruan Zhao frowning, Lu Yan thought he had hurt her. "What's wrong?"
Ruan Zhao was speechless at the moment and could only shake his head.
Lu Yan was also getting excited at this moment, but just when he was about to take the last step, there was a knock on the door.
"Ruan Zhao! Are you there?" It was Shen Yanqing's voice.
Lu Yan was forced to terminate the plan and felt helpless.
Ruan Zhao opened his eyes after hearing the sound, then motioned Lu Yan to wait in the room while he went to open the door.
"what happened?"
When Shen Yanqing saw Ruan Zhao coming out, she grabbed her and ran out. "I need your help. It's urgent."
So, Ruan Zhao was taken away.
The second actual combat ended in failure, and Lu Yan fell pitifully on the bed and closed his eyes.
~
Shen Yanqing pulled Ruan Zhao all the way to the operating room in the emergency building. Before they got close, they heard bursts of low and hoarse roars coming from the operating room.
Shen Yanqing explained to Ruan Zhao as she led her away. "A child had a strange thing growing on her body. We had surgery to remove it, but as soon as we did it, it grew back on its own.
Several colleagues were frightened, and I think you should be able to solve this problem, so I want you to help."
Ruan Zhao understood the situation and followed Shen Yanqing directly into the operating room.
As soon as I came in, I saw a little girl being held down on a hospital bed by several adults. The girl's face was filled with pain and she kept resisting.
What's strange is that the little girl is only eight or nine years old, but the sound she makes is like that of an elderly lady, and she is extremely strong.
There was a huge bulge on the girl's chest. It looked like a tumor, but it didn't seem to have grown from the body. It seemed to have been glued on from the outside.
Ruan Zhao's eyes lit up when he saw the bulge on the girl's chest.
It turned out to be the Lamp of Eternal Life!
The Longevity Lamp, also known as the Millennium Pill, is made using an ancient secret method of longevity, combining 749 kinds of awakened medicinal herbs with ten drops of Rootless Tears.
Its efficacy is similar to that of the elixir of Laozi. Although it cannot make people immortal after taking it, it can definitely prolong their life and make them immune to all diseases.
There is only one thing, ordinary people cannot eat it directly, because the body cannot bear it. Not only will it not have the effect of longevity, but the powerful medicinal properties of the Longevity Lamp will cause the body to explode and die.
The little girl in front of me obviously swallowed it in one gulp, which is why she looks like this.
If the Lamp of Immortality cannot be taken out of her body, I am afraid that the little girl will explode and die soon.
The little girl's parents and several other doctors worked together to hold her down, but they almost failed.
Seeing Shen Yanqing coming back, her colleague Xiao Yao hurriedly shouted, "Doctor Shen, the anesthetic is no longer working. Please give her another injection quickly."
Shen Yanqing did not respond, but turned to look at Ruan Zhao.
Ruan Zhao didn't hesitate. He bit his finger and walked forward, touching the little girl's chest directly.
Then everyone saw that the little girl's body suddenly trembled, and then she gradually calmed down as if she had taken drugs.
~
Ruan Zhao gave Shen Yanqing a look, and Shen Yanqing understood and quickly pulled several other colleagues out of the operating room.
After everyone else left, Ruan Zhao looked at the little girl's parents and asked, "Where did you get this?"
The girl's mother was stunned for a moment by her question. After she realized what was going on, she looked guilty and said, "What? I don't know what you are talking about."
Seeing that she didn't admit it, Ruan Zhao became anxious. "This thing recognizes its owner. If you can't get it out, your daughter will die soon. Don't you want to tell the truth?"
When the girl's father heard this, he immediately pulled the child's mother and stood up and said, "It's my fault. The thing belonged to my great-grandfather. It was his birthday the day before yesterday, and I pestered him to give it to me.
We originally wanted to eat it ourselves, but the child thought it was delicious and ate it secretly without our knowledge."
When the girl's mother heard what her father said, she immediately lowered her head with a look of regret on her face, "I didn't know it would turn out like this. I originally wanted to..."
Ruan Zhao glanced at the girl's father's face and discovered that his ancestors were actually a mysterious family that made medicine. Then he understood. "Since your great-grandfather gave it to you, then this thing is now yours. Take it out."
The girl's father was a little embarrassed after hearing this, "But I don't know how to take it out?"
The girl's mother, realizing Ruan Zhao was no ordinary person, grabbed her hand and pleaded, "Comrade, please save my daughter. We'll pay you whatever you can."
Ruan Zhao hesitated and then continued, "Didn't your family teach you how to use this thing?"
The girl's father shook his head, looking anxious. "It was passed down, but only to my great-grandfather's generation. He's old and has long forgotten it."
Ruan Zhao sighed helplessly, then thought of something and said, "I can help her get it out, but this thing recognizes its owner. Once I take it out, you can't use it anymore."
The girl's mother agreed immediately, "As long as my daughter gets better, we don't need this thing."
The girl's father also nodded and said, "Yes, comrade, please help us take it out. We don't want it anymore."
"Are you sure?"
This thing is a treasure, hard to come by.
"Sure, as long as our daughter is alive, we don't need anything else."
"it is good."
Seeing that they agreed, Ruan Zhao no longer hesitated and went straight forward to touch the girl's chest.
Ordinary people cannot absorb the powerful medicinal properties of the Longevity Lamp, but Ruan Zhao can.
But she was injured, so it would be a bit painful for her to absorb this thing directly.
However, once she completely absorbs this longevity lamp, not only will her injuries heal, but her cultivation may also increase greatly.
Ruan Zhao felt that she was really lucky. She happened to encounter such a thing just when she needed to recover her strength.
Ruan Zhao touched the location of the Longevity Lamp, endured the discomfort and activated his spiritual power, and began to absorb the medicinal power of the Longevity Lamp. The girl's parents stared at the girl's face and did not dare to make a sound to disturb Ruan Zhao.
Because her soul and body were unstable, Ruan Zhao soon frowned due to the impact of the medicine, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. She gritted her teeth and endured it until half an hour later, when Ruan Zhao felt that her injuries were completely healed and the pain finally passed.
As her injuries healed, the remaining medicinal properties were quickly absorbed by her, and the little girl's chest returned to normal.
Ruan Zhao withdrew his hand and breathed a sigh of relief, feeling extremely relieved. "Alright, just take her back and let her rest for two days."
The girl's parents checked her chest and saw that it had healed. They were very grateful. "Comrade, thank you so much."
Ruan Zhao simply waved his hand, "No need to thank me, this longevity lamp is a good thing, I am taking advantage of you.
Let me tell you this, I can promise you one thing: if you need help in the future, you can come to me. I work in the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department of the hospital."
The girl's parents were even more grateful. They could see that Ruan Zhao was not an ordinary person, and they thanked Ruan Zhao for a long time.
After talking to them for a few words, Ruan Zhao left the operating room.

In the army
After Commander Wu learned that Yu Guangjie had confessed, he immediately called the Xiangcheng Military Region.
Because it involved military secrets, it took some time to confirm that the story about that important person was indeed true.
After hanging up the phone, Commander Wu called a meeting with several leaders of the Military Commission.
Because it involved some metaphysical events, several leaders believed that this was feudal superstition and expressed hesitation.
"Commander Wu, I don't think this is credible. The country has already prohibited the promotion of feudal superstitions. Yu Guangjie's claim that he can use witchcraft to bring down heavy rain is simply ridiculous!"
"Yes, I think Yu Guangjie is deliberately making up stories to fool us in order to get away with it. I think we need to interrogate him more thoroughly. We can't just send our troops out because of his nonsense."
“I do believe that ghosts and gods exist in this world, but if you say you can use some kind of sorcery to make it rain, that’s too unbelievable.
If this works, then when there's a drought in the future, we can just find a fortune teller to pray for rain."
Seeing that no one believed it, Commander Wu felt a little overwhelmed.
To be honest, he didn't believe it either, but he had verified what Yu Guangjie said about an important person appearing in Yanshan, and there was no doubt that it was true.
As for the rainstorm, Commander Wu didn't know how to explain it to them, so he could only call Wu Rui over.
Wu Rui had a hot temper to begin with. When he learned that these people did not believe that Xiao Rizi could use witchcraft to make a rainstorm, he was so anxious that he directly revealed the fact that Fu Dalong and Yu Guangjie were the same, offering blood sacrifices to the gods to harm people, and were finally killed by the backlash.
He thought that by saying this, he could make these people believe it.
In fact, they were shocked.
But after he came to his senses, the doubts became even stronger. Some people even began to accuse Wu Rui of taking the lead in promoting feudal superstition and slandering the innocence of his compatriots as a soldier.
