Longing for stars, longing for the moon, finally waiting for a patient.
This patient left Deng Changyu a bit stunned. Although you're covered in mud and blood, looking extremely disheveled, I still recognize you, the Jinghe Dragon King!
The closest Jinhe Dragon King was to the group of divine beasts when he was on the bank of Wei River. At that time, Phoenix, in transformation, carried the few people and rushed forward. Although it seemed near, it was actually several li away. Only a fast-moving streak of firelight was seen, and what was inside, he couldn't see clearly either.
Nuwa could see through the relationship between Deng ChanYu and the phoenix's clone at a glance, but the Jinhe Dragon King didn't have that kind of insight.
In his understanding, Deng ChanYu was a stranger who had opened the way for him just a few days ago, so this was what? It was a benefactor!
Jinhe Dragon King has been suffering greatly recently, so it's rare to encounter someone who releases goodwill towards him. This memory is particularly profound.
He's in trouble! Zhang Guifang is just too strong, chasing him until he has no way up and down, finally severely injured and fell into the Zhou River. The Dragon King of Zhou River is a cowardly person, hearing that he offended King Zhu, he wants to catch him and present it to the song.
The Jinhe Dragon King exemplified what it means to be a dragon brought low, fighting desperately to carve out a path through blood and tears.
There are some small villages around the Zhang River, but the residents of these places know each other well, so it's not easy to hide.
With such severe injuries, after much thought, he had no choice but to quietly return to Zaosong to treat his wounds.
"Please lend a helping hand and save the old man's life. The old man will give you a great reward." He saw that Deng ChanYu had some merit and that her medical skills should be much stronger than those of ordinary people. Additionally, with their previous "meeting," he decided to take a gamble.
Deng ChanYu was speechless. I'm ready to treat the plague, not external injuries, and besides... what you're missing now isn't herbs but a wheelchair?
She thought for a moment and realized she had no reason to refuse, so she decided to proceed according to the current customs of the Yin Dynasty: "Since that's the case, please allow the old gentleman to worship Goddess Nuwa first before we proceed with the treatment."
Jinhe Dragon King's knowledge and vision are far greater than that of ordinary people. Even if he was covered in blood, his legs were broken, and he faced Nuwa's statue, he still lay on the ground, bowing three times respectfully.
He felt the gaze from a very high level, which startled him. He pressed his head tightly against the ground. Only after the gaze disappeared did he get up, still feeling after-effects.
Looking at Deng ChanYu now, he felt that her background was unfathomable, and there was no trace of the dragon king's authority left. He bowed with humility, his gesture extremely deferential: "Please save the little dragon's life."
Deng ChanYu was helpless: "...... Alright, let me first take a look at your wounds."
"Thank you very much, Your Majesty!" Jinhe Dragon King expressed his gratitude sincerely.
Far away in the Palace of Nuwa, Goddess Nuwa saw this scene and stopped her cultivation. For a moment, she felt amused to the point of laughing and crying. This was also a confused dragon king. Do you know who has caused you to be in such a state today? Say her name, and it will shock you... You're like this, and you still thank her?
Jinhe Dragon King's body was riddled with injuries, and his feet were the most severe. This was a human injury. Unless he obtained human forgiveness or completely eradicated the human race, it would not normally be possible to recover in normal circumstances.
His wounds have been bleeding continuously, and the left foot he had lost long ago has been bleeding for a year. This is only possible because of the dragon's strong constitution. If a human were to come in this condition, they would have died long ago from such extensive blood loss.
Deng ChanYu cannot heal the broken foot, but she can help him close his wounds.
She took out a needle embroidery thread made from the sapling of the Local Land of Spirits, and then used the red sun fire to heat it. She carefully sewed up the wound with one needle after another.
There's still some bleeding, but it's much better than before.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, this young lady!" Jinhe Dragon King kept thanking Deng ChanYu and Daji.
When the majority of his injuries were healed, Deng ChanYu pushed a four-wheeled carriage for him. His gratitude reached its peak at that moment.
This carriage was the same blazing fire vehicle that Deng ChanYu had dropped in a valley during the fight with Nandu. Originally, he planned to create several five-wheeled vehicles like Red Boy, using them to release firepower during battles to enhance temperature and range of the flames.
But Deng ChanYu acts on impulse; today she practices calligraphy, tomorrow she opens a teahouse, and the next day she sets up a pharmacy. The project of the five-wheeled vehicles had been delayed, and now it was conveniently given to Jinhe Dragon King.
This carriage has been sanctified by her. Its design is somewhat like the kind of carriage that Zhuge Liang sits in, with four wheels, a bench, and the ability to fly short distances.
Jinhe Dragon King's eyes were filled with tears. How long has it been since someone treated him like this?
After much thought and a struggle with his thoughts, he handed over the black cloth package he had been holding tightly to Deng ChanYu solemnly: "The old man has been wanton and capricious in his first half of life, and now he has received divine retribution. It seems that my time is not long. ... This item is of no use to me anymore, so I pass it on to you, comrade. With the protection of the sage, there is hope for the great path in the future. This item is just a keepsake. If one day you pass by the Jing River, please pour a cup of wine into the river. In the afterlife, I will also be grateful for today's saving grace..."
As he spoke, Jinhe Dragon King became increasingly saddened, and his eyes overflowed with blood tears. Deng ChanYu and Daji exchanged a look of shock.
Daji, being a kind-hearted person, quickly returned the package to him: "Old Sir, treasures are for those with virtue. Since this item has chosen you, it is clear that you are destined and virtuous. Please take it back."
Deng ChanYu was almost writing "embarrassing" on her forehead. At this moment, she hurriedly nodded: "Yes, yes."
Jinhe Dragon King shook his head and chuckled: "I don't need any treasures now. With me giving this item to the two of you, it seems to be fate. Please take it and farewell!"
He wobbled the four-wheeled carriage and slowly drove towards the door.
Goddess Nuwa in the Palace of Nuwa felt a mix of laughter and sorrow, and also a bit ashamed. Her disciple had teased someone so, and as her teacher, she had some responsibility too. It wouldn't do to directly reveal the truth; sages are never wrong... But a little compensation would be appropriate.
She pointed her finger, and two streaks of light fell from the sky and directly entered Jinhe Dragon King's body.
Jinhe Dragon King, sitting in the four-wheeled carriage, shuddered and looked up at the sky in shock. After that, he turned back to look at Deng ChanYu and Daji.
What did I do? I only sent the jade tablet away, and the heavens actually bestowed merit upon me for that?!
Things like divine blessings from the heavens are usually beyond the ability of ordinary deities to distinguish details, and it's extremely rare, so he couldn't tell the difference between Nuwa bestowing blessings and the heavens doing so.
Nuwa's side has much more merit, so much that it has no place to be used. At this moment, because her disciple benefited from it, she gave a little away as the teacher, which is reasonable and even Daozhu (the supreme deity) wouldn't say anything.
Goddess Nuwa's merit includes the merit of the heavens from when she healed the sky, and the merit of humanity from when she created humans. The merit she bestowed now is human merit, which is small in quantity but was enough to completely heal Jinhe Dragon King's broken foot so that it would no longer bleed.
Ah, I understand now! Jinhe Dragon King kept turning his head and bowing to Deng ChanYu continuously, thanking her repeatedly.
"Thank you so much!"
"Thank you! The old man understands! I get it all now!"
"Ha ha ha - So that's it, so that's it! Thank you all so much! Take care!"
Deng ChanYu, Daji, and Nuwa: "..."
Watching Jinhe Dragon King "huffing and puffing" as he drove away in the four-wheeled carriage under the setting sun, they were all filled with a sense of speechlessness.
Daji simply found him to be a very kind person.
Nuwa and Deng ChanYu master and disciple have no idea what to say now.
