The Great Martial Arts World: Hot Topics and Great Heroes

Just then, Chu Luren suddenly attacked him. Di Yun instinctively tried to defend himself, but Chu Luren grabbed his wrist and subdued him.

"Master Chu! Did he ambush you?" Hua Tiegan shouted immediately.

"I..." Di Yun wanted to say, "It was clearly me who was ambushed!"

Chu Luren then looked at Di Yun's fingers—sure enough, the first segment was exceptionally tender.

Along the way, Chu Luren had thought of the "Divine Illumination Scripture" and specifically went to Qunyu Academy to look up some old news about Mei Niansheng.

It was discovered that Mei Niansheng back then was not only known for his internal strength that could bring people back to life, but he also had a record of "regenerating severed limbs"!

Before seeing Di Yun's missing fingers, Chu Luren guessed that they might not have been broken, but had grown back.

"What Qi Changfa? He doesn't even deserve to be recognized by me..." Chu Luren's words were very impolite. Di Yun instinctively wanted to get angry, but he had heard Ding Dian talk about his master's despicable behavior, and his life was still in Chu Luren's hands, so he kept quiet.

"That's right! Master Mei's disciples are all useless, he must be... sob sob..."

Halfway through Hua Tiegan's sentence, Chu Luren stomped his foot, and the snow between the two of them sank a bit. After the force was directed towards Hua Tiegan, the snow that was originally covering him also sank down and became compacted!

"Did I even speak to you? Kneeling before the Blood Blade Ancestor, you look more like a disciple or grand-disciple of the Blood Blade Sect!" Chu Luren said disdainfully.

Then Chu Luren looked at Di Yun's fingers and said, "Qi Changfa and the like, with his mediocre skills, I can't recognize him. But... this skill of regenerating severed limbs, it must be the 'Divine Illumination Scripture', right?"

Di Yun then realized that Chu Luren had stumbled upon a perfect solution...

Ding Dian passed the "Shenzhao Jing" to him, which unexpectedly proved that he was the grand-disciple of his master. In terms of the "Shenzhao Jing" alone, he and Mei Niansheng actually had no relation, since Ding Dian was his elder brother, not his master.

“That’s right! It is the Divine Illumination Scripture! Miss Shui, think carefully about what happened along the way, and when you and Young Master Wang first met me... Apart from these clothes and this bald head, how do I look like a member of the Blood Blade Sect?” Di Yun said, feeling wronged but also pleased.

The injustice is that they have been wronged for far too long, but the satisfaction is that... finally there is some "evidence" to prove their innocence.

When Shui Sheng heard what Chu Luren and Di Yun said, she didn't think about whether Di Yun was innocent or not. All her attention was on the three words "Shenzhao Jing"!

Legend has it that Mei Niansheng once used the "Divine Illumination Scripture" to bring people back to life after they had been dead for several hours. This, coupled with the fact that Chu Luren had asked her to bandage her father's broken leg...

Shui Sheng hurriedly pleaded, "You're not the Blood Saber Monk! You're not the Blood Saber Monk! It's all my and my cousin's fault, please save my father!"

"Ah? This..." Upon hearing this, Di Yun's expression turned troubled.

Chapter 489 I'm Here

Although Shui Sheng's statement, "You are not the Blood Saber Monk," lacked sincerity, it was still a verbal exoneration of him, which pleased Di Yun. However... upon hearing Shui Sheng's request, Di Yun became troubled.

It wasn't that he didn't want to save people, but rather that his mastery of the "Divine Illumination Scripture" was not yet complete, and his skill was inferior to that of Brother Ding Dian; he simply didn't have the ability to save people!

“Miss Shui, Lord Chu, it’s not that I don’t want to, but… my ‘Divine Illumination Scripture’ is not powerful enough to save Hero Shui…” Di Yun said, sounding quite dejected.

If he could save Shui Dai now, wouldn't he be able to immediately prove his innocence?

Unfortunately... Di Yun really couldn't do it.

Upon hearing this, Shui Sheng's face showed despair—wasn't that a sign of hopelessness?

"Tell me the mental cultivation method and rescue techniques of the Divine Illumination Scripture right now! If this drags on any longer, Master Shui will truly be beyond saving!" Chu Luren said with a sense of righteous indignation.

Chu Luren had also considered this possibility. After all, in the original work, Di Yun's internal strength reached its peak when he accidentally opened up his Ren and Du meridians while fighting desperately with Xue Dao, which was when he truly entered the inner sanctum.

Chu Luren was truly anxious; even the legendary Mei Niansheng had his limits when it came to "bringing the dead back to life."

The few instances of resurrection all involved individuals who had recently died and did not suffer fatal injuries—deaths are usually caused by poisoning, acute illness, or suffocation, which are the only reasons for such "resurrection."

Di Yun himself had attempted suicide by hanging in prison and was saved, and... an hour had passed, and he was already cold. Only then did Ding Dian believe that Di Yun was not sent by Ling Tuisi.

However, if someone's head is chopped off, their heart is pierced, or they have been dead for too long and their organs have rotted, then neither Ding Dian nor Mei Niansheng are gods after all!

Although Di Yun didn't understand what use it was to teach at this time, it concerned his own innocence, especially since the person he was teaching was Chu Taisui, who had given him the first chance and believed in him. Therefore, he did not hesitate at all.

Just as Di Yun was about to speak, Chu Luren stopped him with a gesture, then looked at the still-standing corpse of the Blood Blade and the solidified little snow bun beside it, and then sent out two streams of Six Qi Finger Force!

One strike completely ensured the death of the Blood Blade, while the other, though not fatal, knocked Hua Tiegan unconscious—even if Hua Tiegan himself couldn't be seen, the Six Qi Finger Technique could be remotely controlled, and no matter where it hit, it could seal acupoints along the meridians.

After that, Chu Luren had Di Yun teach him the incantation...

It was more complicated than Chu Luren had imagined. Half an hour later, the emblem of the Divine Illumination Scripture finally appeared in Chu Luren's mind!

As for "bringing the dead back to life," it's not really a special technique. It's just massaging some vital acupoints with true qi. The key is that the qi must be strong and infectious to achieve the effect of "bringing the dead back to life."

If it were ordinary true qi, it would only be used to massage the corpse, at most equivalent to a first aid measure. It would be impossible to bring a cold corpse back to life like the "Divine Illumination Scripture".

Chu Luren quickly familiarized himself with the place, then looked at Shui Dai, only to find that Shui Sheng's face was ashen, with only a glimmer of hope in her eyes as she looked at him. When she noticed him looking at her, she became a little more lively and asked, "Hero Chu, is there any hope for my father? Is there any way to save my father?"

Half an hour later, although the bandage was finished, the water had already cooled completely...

Shui Sheng first encountered a series of misfortunes and fell into despair, then heard hope in Chu Luren's words, then was plunged into despair by Di Yun's words, and then found some hope in Chu Luren's words again—after this repeated cycle, she was already somewhat mentally disoriented.

"Don't worry, I'll do my best. You should rest for a bit." Chu Luren sensed that her mental state was a bit off, so he silently channeled his inner energy as he spoke.

As soon as he finished speaking, Shui Sheng visibly relaxed and then pretended to fall. Chu Luren caught her and placed her on a snow-free rock nearby.

"Go find some firewood nearby and start a fire. I'll try to revive Master Shui." Chu Luren said to Di Yun, then sat down cross-legged next to the already stiff body of Shui Dai.

Chu Luren did not merge with it, but instead used "Chaos Technique" to simulate the most primitive "Divine Illumination True Qi"!

"Oh...oh! I'll go right away!" Di Yun said immediately.

Firewood was readily available; there was some he had collected in the cave where Blood Blade had meditated, so he was just moving it over.

At the same time, Di Yun was also somewhat moved. After all, he had been misunderstood by many people before, and even his junior sister believed the accusations made against him by Wan Gui and Ling Tuisi. But now, Chu Luren, whom he had only met twice and whose previous meetings had not been very pleasant, was willing to believe him. This greatly increased Di Yun's goodwill towards Chu Luren...

Even Brother Ding Dian only believed that he wasn't Ling Tuisi's man after he had been cold for an hour!

Although there was the "Divine Illumination Scripture" as evidence, Di Yun was very pleased with the feeling of being trusted.

When Di Yun returned, he saw Chu Luren surrounded by golden light, sitting cross-legged with his palms outstretched, with golden light emanating from his body from time to time.

At the same time, Shui Dai floated in the air in front of Chu Luren, surrounded by the radiance emanating from Chu Luren's palms.

This scene lasted for a long time...

Even when Shui Sheng woke up, this was the scene she saw!

"No, no!" Shui Sheng woke up with a start, not knowing what she was dreaming about. She first grabbed her clothes, then immediately cried out, "Father...where is my father?"

"Keep your voice down! Miss Shui, Brother Chu is saving your father, don't disturb him." Upon seeing this, Di Yun immediately gestured for her to be quiet.

At this moment, Shui Sheng also saw Chu Luren and Shui Dai in the golden light—the sky had already darkened, making Chu Luren's appearance all the more conspicuous.

Moreover, it can be seen that the snow around Chu Luren has melted to a diameter of three zhang!

Shui Sheng watched this scene with tension and concern. Then she realized that, based on the time she had fallen asleep, one or two hours had probably passed. If Chu Luren really started rescuing people immediately, then... the losses would indeed be considerable.

"Chu... why do you call him Brother Chu?" Shui Sheng frowned as she looked at Di Yun.

"I... I felt that Brother Chu was more approachable, so I called him that first. If Brother Chu doesn't want me to, I'll change it!" Di Yun said somewhat guiltily.

He found a bit of the feeling of Brother Ding Dian in Chu Luren, so he called him that. In fact, he was also blaming himself in his heart—Di Yun, Di Yun, you are a nobody... even a nobody with a very poor reputation, how dare you call him "Brother"? Look! Miss Shui is laughing at you, isn't she?

As luck would have it, another quarter of an hour passed, and Chu Luren gradually finished his work, and Shui Dai slowly returned to the ground where the ice and snow had melted.

Shui Sheng quickly stepped forward and asked, "Brother Chu! How is my father...?"

Chapter 490 Resurrection

"Brother Chu, how is my father?" Shui Sheng asked anxiously.

Chu Luren didn't care about the change in how Shui Sheng addressed him. Now, any title other than "Young Master" was basically negligible to Chu Luren.

"His life should be saved, but whether he can wake up or not depends on fate," Chu Luren said with some hesitation.

When Chu Luren used his powerful "Divine Illumination True Qi" to stimulate and infect several major acupoints, he felt that the True Qi was not penetrating the "Four Divine Cong" points around the Baihui acupoint on the top of the head...

Di Yun was aware of this situation, as it was also written in the "Divine Illumination Scripture" that Mei Niansheng passed on to Ding Dian—"The Four Divine Insights" are the most difficult to be affected by vitality, and it's not just about "vitality" that matters. Mei Niansheng himself didn't quite understand it either.

If the "Four Divine Insights" fail to reveal their life force, the person who was saved may not wake up, or may wake up in a state of mental confusion.

However, as long as the true qi of the "Baihui acupoint" penetrates and is activated, the brain can be kept intact, and there will be a chance to recover in the future. If the true qi does not enter the "Baihui acupoint", then even if the person comes back to life, they will be a living dead. Even if their skill level increases in the future, they will not be able to be saved.

In the understanding of the Chu Lu people, it is roughly the difference between brain death and a vegetative state. The latter still has the possibility of waking up, while the former... even if there are still physical signs, they are already dead.

For an ordinary person, with the current technology in the martial arts world, a "vegetative state" is equivalent to death. However, for a master of internal martial arts, it is not impossible to keep them alive!

Fortunately, Chu Luren felt that the Water Manor Lord's "Baihui acupoint" had given him enough feedback, so it should have been stimulated properly. However, he still felt confused and unclear about the "Four Divine Cong" acupoint.

This is not surprising, after all, Chu Luren's understanding of the "Divine Illumination Scripture" is only a very superficial knowledge of the whole text, and he has not actually cultivated it at all, but is just using "chaotic true qi" to simulate it.

The reason they were able to be saved was thanks to Chu Luren's profound internal strength—even if it was less efficient, he still had some brute force!

Shui Sheng's attention was clearly focused on the fact that her life had been saved, and she immediately rushed to her father's side. Sure enough, Shui Dai's face had regained its rosy color.

Even the wounds on his legs have healed...

Of course, it only heals; even Mei Niansheng cannot regenerate severed limbs in others.

This is not something that can be achieved simply by using "Divine Illumination True Qi," but rather requires a body that is nourished by "Divine Illumination True Qi" every day to produce this state.

Moreover, Mei Niansheng's record of limb regeneration was only half a hand. For someone like Di Yun, being able to grow a finger was already the limit.

Having experienced a series of mishaps, Shui Sheng burst into tears upon seeing this scene. As for whether she would wake up... that was a matter for later!

Compared to her previous helplessness, Shui Sheng even felt a sense of "fortunateness" now.

"Brother Chu, have some chicken." Di Yun eagerly handed over the roasted chicken.

"Huh? Where did this chicken come from?" Chu Luren was also puzzled.

"Didn't you, Brother Chu, tell your bird to catch it?" Upon hearing this, Di Yun looked at Xiao Hong with a puzzled expression.

Chu Luren followed his gaze and saw that Little Red was displaying an arrogant demeanor, as if at this moment it had finally turned the tables and become the feeder.

Di Yun clearly underestimated Xiao Hong's intelligence; it took it on its own initiative!

However, resources are indeed scarce in the snow valley, and it is not easy for the Chu deer people to get out, since they would be more disturbed by the snow monsters if they went up the cliff.

For Xiao Hong, however, it was no challenge at all. She could simply fly up to the cliff and stay away from it. Once she was up there, she didn't even need to hunt for food herself. She could just find Murong Jiu and the others and "take" their food directly!

Although the surrounding area was deserted, it was still much richer in resources than the Chu Lu people in the snow valley.

"Xiao Hong, next time bring some cumin and chili powder down... and a pot, bowls and chopsticks, drunken crab, salted fish..." Chu Luren described to Xiao Hong.

Previously, for the sake of convenience, Chu Luren did not carry the jar with him.

Eating chicken occasionally won't have much of an impact. Chu Luren ate a whole-style roasted chicken once.

Now he was really hungry, after all, the Chu Lu people had also consumed a lot of energy. When using the "Three-Part Return to Origin Qi", the Chu Lu people's true energy could circulate repeatedly, almost perpetually. However, the "Three-Part Return to Origin Qi" was only used when the "Return to Void True Qi" and "Northern Darkness True Qi" were used at the same time. This simulation of "Divine Illumination True Qi" did not count.
