God of Pets

Chapter 38 Writing on the Wall

Ji Nanhong coughed for a long time before he calmed down. He looked around and wanted to stand up.

As soon as she moved, she gasped and her face turned pale.

"My leg!" Ji Nanhong endured the piercing pain and reached out to check her leg. Seeing that her ankle was swollen into a big lump, her face became even uglier.

Unable to move his legs and feet, Ji Nanhong endured the pain and sat on a rock, bending over to take off his shoes. During the process, his cheeks were distorted and he looked like he was enduring severe pain.

When she took off both shoes, Chen Guan saw that both her feet were badly swollen, and it was very likely that the bones in her feet were broken or cracked.

"Thank you for saving me. What's your name?" Ji Nanhong knew her own condition better than Chen Guan, and her judgment was similar to Chen Guan's. Her foot bone must have been broken, and the condition was not good. Even if she had some medicine on her, it would not be healed in a short time, and it would be difficult to regain mobility in a short time.

In a place like this, losing the ability to move and encountering a mysterious spirit is almost equivalent to a death sentence.

"Chen Guan." Chen Guan replied.

"We are in danger now, so I won't say any more polite words. I'm afraid my foot is broken and the bones in my ankle are dislocated. The bones must be reset first before I can apply medicine. Do you know how to set bones?" Ji Nanhong asked directly.

Nowadays, there is a subject called bone setting in colleges and universities. Most students should have learned bone setting, but whether they can learn it well depends on their personal talent and ability.

"Yes, I'll help you straighten your bones." Chen Guan squatted down, reached out and slowly pinched Ji Nan's left foot, which was red and swollen like a fat pig's hoof.

As soon as they met, Ji Nanhong's face turned even paler and her brows were knitted together.

Chen Guan found that she was enduring the pain, but he didn't say much. He just felt out the condition of the bones and asked Ji Nanhong some questions to confirm the extent of the bone dislocation.

"What's your name?" Chen Guan asked while touching the bones.

"Ji...ah..." Ji Nanhong had just said one word when she cried out in pain. Chen Guan had restored the dislocated bones in her left foot at lightning speed, and the pain lasted only for a moment.

Following the same method, Chen Guan restored the dislocated bones in Ji Nanhong's other foot.

"You have learned bone-setting well." Seeing that Chen Guan's technique was efficient and precise, and the pain in his feet was relieved a lot, Ji Nanhong couldn't help but praise him. Such a smooth bone-setting technique obviously required hard work.

"Not bad." Chen Guan said, "Do you have any bone injury medicine? If not, I have some here, but they are not very good, so use this as it is."

"I have it here. Please apply it to me." Ji Nanhong took out the medicine and handed it to Chen Guan.

Chen Guanjian is a very famous brand, and a bottle of medicine is worth a lot of money. Ji Nanhong must not come from an ordinary family.

After applying the medicine, Chen Guan bandaged her up. During this time, neither of them had much interest in chatting. They were both observing the situation around them, fearing that some mysterious spirit would suddenly rush out.

There must be a secret spirit here, at least the King of Shita is here.

Until Ji Nanhong's foot injury was healed, no mysterious spirit appeared, which gave the two of them a temporary reprieve.

"What level are you now?" Ji Nanhong asked Chen Guan.

"Level 6." Chen Guan answered truthfully. Ji Nanhong sighed inwardly, level 6 was indeed too low. If the Shita King launched an attack, Chen Guan could not rely on him and would need to face it head-on.

But her feet were now unable to move at all, and if she wanted to deal with the King of Shita, she would be in great danger.

Ji Nanhong was thinking about his trump card, but suddenly he felt the light in front of him gradually getting stronger. Soon it was so strong that it was like turning on a light. He quickly raised his head to look at the source of the light.

After seeing clearly what it was, Ji Nanhong's eyes widened suddenly, as if in disbelief, with more surprise than fear.

Chen Guan was also looking at the light source and found that the light source came from a stone wall. On the stone wall, there were lines of small seal characters, and it was those small seal characters that were emitting light.

The light illuminated the nearby underground abyss. As far as the eye could see, there was clear sea water and caves on the top. Further away, it was still pitch black. No one knew how big this place was. The crack in the ground above looked like a fine line at the corner of their eyes.

Chen Guan estimated that this place was probably about a thousand meters above the ground.

"Is this the Afang Sutra?" Chen Guan looked at the small seal characters on the wall and tried hard to write them down.

He had taken calligraphy classes, with small seal script being one of the main characters he learned. He recognized the characters and memorized them word for word very quickly.

Chen Guan glanced at Ji Nanhong and saw that she was staring at the words intently, obviously memorizing them. He thought to himself, "Ji Nanhong isn't surprised at all that these words appeared in such a place. Could it be that she also knew about the 'Afang Sutra'? Did she know before she came here, or did she discover something on the island? Wang Lian said that his elders destroyed the stone tablet with the words on it, so no one later would know about it. Could it be that besides that stone tablet, there are other places on the island that also record the 'Afang Sutra'?"

There were as many as four or five thousand characters on the stone wall. Before the two of them could memorize them all, the light above the characters suddenly dimmed and soon became completely dull. Everything they saw returned to pitch black.

After adapting for a while, I gradually regained some ability to see in the dark. The colorful corals under the water emitted a faint light.

"Did you write down those words?" Ji Nanhong asked Chen Guan casually.

There were too many words, and she didn't have time to memorize them all. She probably only remembered the first thousand or so words. Although she read some of the words at the end, she hadn't finished reading them all, so her memory was not very deep.

She didn't think Chen Guan could remember more than her, but she still kept a hope in mind just in case.

Ji Nanhong knew clearly that it was the Afang Sutra, and the more she remembered it, the greater the benefits would be.

"I only remembered part of it. Those words seem to be a secret method of cultivation. How could there be a secret method of cultivation engraved in such a place? It must have been man-made, right? This means that someone had been here long before we came. We have a chance of survival." Chen Guan said deliberately.

Ji Nanhong smiled bitterly and shook her head after hearing this: "The people who carved the words here probably didn't leave any chance for us to survive unless we can get out on our own."

"Do you know who left the message?" Chen Guan asked Ji Nanhong in surprise.

Ji Nanhong did not answer him, but tried to recall the parts she remembered over and over again in her mind to deepen her memory so as not to forget them later.

Seeing that she didn't answer, Chen Guan also recalled the part he had written down.

The part of the "Afang Sutra" printed on the seven-treasure glass tree is a secret method without a beginning or an end, and it is completely useless.

The part on the mountain wall is not a part of the secret method that is connected to it, but an independent part of the secret method. This part of the secret method can actually be used for cultivation alone. It is a very complete part. This makes Chen Guan somewhat doubtful whether those light characters are from the "Afang Sutra".
